Rev. Mr.. Ryder's lecture last tuesday evening
was very well attended, and was o literary effort
worthy of the man and the theme. His manner
and bearing is that OF "a finished orator and gen.
tleman who commanded the closest attention OF
his hearers all the time, and at the close, the
dience sat still for fully minute as petitioning
for more. Previous to the beginning of the lee
ture the S:nclair-Winsor qusrtatts sang the 'sJu-
bilate tie Deo," very sweety. which seemed to
prepare the audience for the more solid repast
which Was to follow.
