Macbeth.
c
Prorgsson AnpeRson, of Prince ol Wales College, lectured on ‘‘Macbeth” on } Monday evening, in St. Patrick’s Hall, to a large and appreciative The| learned lecturer dwelt for some length on |
audience.
the circumstances on which the great) tragedy of ‘*Macbeth’ was founded. He} took up all the leading characters, and, in| eloquent and powerful language, des- | eribed the part each took in the; play. The obdurate will and invin- |
cible determination of Lady Macbeth were | eloquently portrayed. Shakespsare s power in the delineation of characters was beauti- fully illustrated by the different passages which the learned lecturer read froin ‘‘Mac
beth.” The lecturer’ entered inte an elo- quent and _ elaborate vindication — ol Shakespeare from the charge of introducing ghosts into Macbeth and Hamlet, preferred against him by the French Schoo! of critics. 3 He showed clearly that Macbeth and Ham-
let would never have been the great master- pieces they were without them. We have read Shakes peare’s defense, by some of the best critics in the English language, and fee! bound to acknowledge that it is seldom anything comes under our observation to surpass Prof. Anderson last evening, on) this point. The learned lecturer was listen:
ed to throughout with breatiless attention,
and wound up with a most eloquent tribute to the genius of the King of English Tragedy. After some complimentary re-
marks from William Murphy, Esq., Prof. - Caven and A. A. McDenald, Esq., a vote of thanks was tendered Prof. Anderson for his eloquent lecture.

An Apt Illustration.
Hon. D. Ferevson, speaking in the House the other day, about the reception of the Marguis and Princess, said :—
The hon. member for West River in formed the House that he had visited Gov- ernment House on the morning of the arrival of tiie Vice-Regal party, and had seen uething but filth there. In this mat- ter, the hon. member reminded hii ef the manner of « bird of very ugly reputation, calied the vulture. This creature, when he soars abroad, takes no notice of what is beautiful in nature. He passea in his flight ever the dweliings of men, the abodes of happiness and conteutment, but has no desire to linger over the happy scenes ; he wafts himself ever the moat splendid fields of corn, but does net descend tv make arepast on the golden grain ; he glides past the clear, running streain, by the sides of which flocks love te graze, and children to play, but does not ateop to cool his beak in the living waters. He passes on, and at length espies a carcase. He immediately pounces upon it. He plunges his beak to the eyes into the putrid mass, and tears the carrion apart with his ungainly claws, and, after he has gorged

Canadian Gold Fields.
[he Canadian gold fields are likely to attract a good deal of attention this year. The Chaudiere Valley, ospecially, will, it is thought, be the scene-vf a ‘‘rush,” and rumor is already busy with the nares of some wealthy Americans who are avout to work a part of the bed of the river. Last year excellent specimens were found. The deposits were large enough to encourage speculation, and the chances are that the Chaudiere Valley will, in two or three months, be alive with prospectors, dish in hand. That gold exists in paying quan- tities in the Chaudiere Valley, appears to be beyond doubt. Mr. Selwyn, Chicf of the Geological Survey, believes that the Chandiere is rich in auriferous deposits, and lie all the conditions

This route, too, avdids the dangers of Sable Island, being directly in the track of ocean steamers from other ports. The line of railway frem New York to Whitehaven is nearly completed, with oaly some 50 or 60 miles wanting to fill up the missing link, When this road is in ooeration, the passage from New York to V/hitehaven can be made in from 20 to 36 hours, and from thence to the nearest port

finds that which indicate the presence of gold,
aro everywhere found along the valley. The formation is wonderfully like that of Ballerat, and Mr. Selwyn is certain that the Chaudiere is a vast gold field, rich in deposits. No man in Canada is so well qualified to give an opinion on such a sub- ject as Mr. Selwyn. Ho was for seventeen years Government inspector of gold mines in Australia and New Zealand, and during that time he became acquainted with most, if not all, the gold fields at the antipodes. In view of the unqualified opinion of such a man, that gold exists in paying quantt- ties in the Chandiere, it is more than likely that some lucky finds will be made this year. But it may be as well for intending miners to remember that they must pay for the right of trying their luck on other peo- ple’s lands, and that gold mining is the most seductive and not always the most successful of occupations. Men who have ateady employment should not be carried away by the cry of gold, and it is always safe to keep in view the old maxim about a bird in the hand and the two in the bush. —Ottawa Citizen.
