AT INSTITUTE HALL.
Last night at Institute Hall, Henry
@. Turner, Esq, lectured before a good
sized audience, on "Daniel O'CoHnell"
The lecture embraced an interesting
resume of the stirring events which
convulsed Ireland at the time of o.
Connell's birth, and the successive in
cidents which elevated him to the
leadership of the Irish people and made
him the champion of Irish liberty, as
well as the eloquent advocate ofCatho-
lie freedom. Ii was carefully pre-
pared effort, combining the interesting
statistics of history with the enlivening
comments of the lecturers fervid ina
gination and we'll stored mind. The
appreciation af the audience was fire.
quently expressed by bursts Of ap-
plause.
For one so young, and with so little
experience In the lecturing profession,
Mr., Turner's appearance on the ros.
trum has been decided success. OF
course we do not mean to say that he
has reached at once point of perfcc-
ton, but that he has attained a degree
of success which should be fattering
to himself and gratifying to his friends
His chief defects are an imperfect mo-
dulation of voice, and at times too
great rapidity of uttcrance. These,
however, time and practice will soon
remedy. Ofhis lectures it can be truly
said, that they are marked by the
clearness of deep thought, and the
conclusiveness of earnest comprehen-
sion.

ner was presented with handsome
silk aud gilt badge, by the Plus TX
Society of which he is Vice President.
John O'Byrnc, Jr, President of the
Society made the presentation and in
