MoNCURE DANIEI.s CONWAY.

This gentleman who lectures tonight
at the Opera House is Firginian-s
native of Old Stafford, Just across the
river from Fredericksburg. He is con-
nected with some of the leading families
of the old commonwealth, the CoNwAYs,
the MoNcUREs, and the DANIELS. He
is cousin and was a warm personal
friend of the late JOHN M. DANIELS, of
the Richmond Examiner, and is said to
have a full share of that wonderful
erratic vein which characterized that
ilustrious family. Mr.. CONWAY was q
school-mate of His Excellency Gov.
JACOB, at Dickinson College When a
boy, it is SAID that he had no fondness
for mathematics, or any of the solid
branches, but always scared in the realms
of literature. He has spent number Of
years in Europe, engaged in study. and
has made wonderful researches in Oriental
literature. Perhaps this accounts for his
profound knowledge of that illustrious
parsonage whom he has chosen as the
subject of his lecture. Mr.. Conway has
the reputation of beings fine lecturer on
any subject, but Independent of this, no
doubt, large crowd will be attracted to
learn the history of that majestic lndiv!-
dual with whom none desire and but few
expect to cultivate warm personal
relationship.
