The attentive audience which assembled in
Trinity vestry last Friday evening, enjoyed atreat
in the lecture by DR., Bush, formerly a professor
in the seminary, and lately returned from abroad,
where he has been spending some years in study
and travel. Dr. Bush is a cultured gentleman,
aud his lecture one to be appreciated by
cultured and refined audience. His subject was
"Ireland, Scotland and England" He spoke of
the beautiful Lakes of Killarney widely cele-
brated, which he regarded as 10 more beautiful
than many Of the crystal lakes Of America and
OF the Giants Causeway in the north of Ireland,
said to have been built by an Irish giant across
the narrow channel to the shore Of Scotland, in
order to enable Scotch giant to cross and en-
gage with him in combat OF Scotland, the land
of Scott and Burns, he gave II glowing account.
Glasgow, Abbotsford, Melrose Abbey and Ayr
Lochs Lomond and Katrina, were painted in iv-
ing coors, while his frequent alluson to the fine
descriptive poetry of Sir Walter Scott gave an
added charm. All were sorry to leave the High
lands and pass to England, but when once there it
WIS no less interesting. English Cathedras were
one point of interest, and DIR. Bush regards them
as too much neglected by American tourists. Lon
don, with her four million inhabitants and grand
sights, he thinks the gredtest as well rgest city
OF the world Less beautiful than Paris not so in
teresting as Rome, with II situation far less grand
than that OF Constintinope, 1t is yet the greatest
of all. De- Bush intends giving another lecture
next Friday evening on Egypt and Palestine,
which will, without doubt, be still more interest
ing, particularly to students of the Bible
