Hon. T. H. Haviland lectured on Thursday evening last on ‘* Hampden and his Times."’ Portions of the lecture were eloquent, but the greater part of it consisted of the stale charges against the Liouse of Stuart. and especially azainst the most unfortunate member of it, haries i. Like the play of Hamlet, with the part of Hamlet left out, 90 was the lecture, for it contained bat very little of the principal character an- nounced in the lecture. This waea great omissivn for Hamp- deu was one of the very few whose virtues were not obscured by the crimes which blackened the characters of those who fullowed him in their resistance to the kingly power. I can ecarcely account for the fact* hat IIos. Mr. Haviland, a Con servative,is lending his aid to- praise and exalt mer who trampled, even more than Charles |., on co: etitutional ‘iberty, and who violated every law baman and divine, as the regi- cides undoubtedly did. To say that we are indebted to Cromwell Lreton, Bradshaw, and the other regicides, for the liberties which we tow enjoy, seems to me to be one of the} moet extravagant as well as the most preposterous assertions that was ever uttered.

Their plan was to force from the King all they could, and when they should. have disarmed him of a}l power and means for the straggle, | then to provoke him by insults and unreasonable demands | till he should appeal t> the sword.*’ up to the admiring goss ofthe young men of the Christian
