Orwerr Youn6 Men's Insverere.—On Tuesday evening, the Sth iust., the President, Mr. J. H.| ‘letcher, Orwell Mills, delivered a very interesting | lectare before a highly respectable audience. The subject—a very appropriate one—was Litera rt Ixsrirutes

The Lecture was written with such a perspicuity | of style and clearness of conception as exbibited |

both an extensive range of knowledge and a com- |

plete mastery of the subject in band. Its delivery | was accomplished with such ease and freedom of. manver and propriety of ennnciatian as ahowed the

lecturer's knowledge of the rules of elocation. In| giving literary societies a prominent place among the many means provided in the presentage for the improvement of the young and rising generation, it wae pleasing to observe tie pre-eminent position assigned to the Bible and its teachings. Iu doing so, he took occasion to furnish such a mass of evi- dence—bistorical, external and internal—inu support of the authenticity of the sacred volume, as com- pletely established his proposition.

He then, at considerable length, gave his idvas of the due government and management of Literary lustitates, with » varicty of asetal sugwestions re- gardiug the aims and objects of such societies in| venerul, and curs in particular ; elucidating the suum by such veined Ulustrations, and happily choren quotations, interspersed with lively anecdote, as conclusively snbstantiated all the positions assum- ed. and exhibited the benefits that may be derived | from an intellectually enlightened intercourse be- | tween the members of the society.

A lengthened and spirited discussion ensued on the salient poiuts of the lecture.
