stitute, on the “ Discovery and Colonization of America.” The head-" ing of the lecture was too extensive, as Mr. Roche only touched upon |

the part which those professing the Catholic religion took in the zreat events just mentioned —and from thence showed the equal elaims which Catholics possessed to every advantage and privilege enjoyed in the free soil of America, Mr. Roche’s opinions were éxpressed in a tone at once moderate and dignified, and supported his views by extracts from

the American historians Bancroft, Prescot aud Irving. It is to be re- |

| gretted that the evening was not more favorable, in order that a larger

audience might have listened to the facts contained in’ Mr. Roche’s |

| lecture—facts which cannot be too highly appreciated, or too widely diffused. A short but desultory debate ensued. On Thursday evening, 7th inst., Mr. Edwin Kelly, of St. Dunstan's College, will lecture. Subject:—‘* The Crusades.” Yebruary 1, 1861.
