West to northwest winds; clearjng wea- ther; turning decidedly colder, Lectures Last Night. ** IT NEVER RAINS BUF IT poURs.” This old saying was exemplified last evening in the three lectures delivered. If they had been given upon three different nights, a larger number of persons would have been able to enjoy them and _ profi: by them. But, considering the weather, the audience at each was unexpectedly large. That of Mr. Ge rge E Full, in the base- ment cf the First Methodist Church was of course by fur -he most important, as it described the Way of Life towards the Kternal City, in the words of the inspired and immort | aliegorist himself. We can- not conceive of a topic worthier the at- tention of intelligent Christian people ; nor is there an imaginative sauthur in the lit- erary annals of Great Britain, whose matter and whose plain English style can be stud- ied with greater profit. Mr. Full’s reading was c'ear and appreciative, while the illus- trations, under the management of Mr. G. H. Ha: zird, were as good as any that we have ever seen, It was a mistake for one who can speak as easly and fliently as Mr. L. H. Davies, — ne whose oraterical ability is consider- able and whee liverary in. tinct is not high ly developed, tu read fivws manuscript a iecture which he could have delivered with so much greater effect and with s@ much more pleasure to himself and his audience. Mr. Davies’ ** Rambles in England and Scotland " were chiefly in and about Lon- don and Edinburgh. These great capitals are always particularly interesting tu Eug- lishmen and Scotchmen and their descend- ants. Mr. Davies excited their interest and held his hearers to the close. A vote of thanks was moved by Mr. Hamlyn and con conveyed to the lecturer by the chairman, Judge Fitzgerald. The audience that assembled in St, Patrick's [all to hear Mr. Silas M. Bent, of Summerside, lecture on “John Boyle U'Reil y” was not so large as it would have been had the weather been more favorable. The lecture, however, was decidedly in- teresting, aud those who were not present missed a rare literary treat. After some introductory remarks of a geueral character, Mr. Bent traced the life of O'Reilly from the time he first saw the light of day until his death at Hull, Miass., last August. O'Riel y was born at Dowth Castle, situated four miles above the town of Drogheda,in the County Meath, lreland,on the 28th of June, 1844 His father, William David O'Reilly, was a fine acholar and an able educator; and his mother, Eliza Boyle, wass woman of rare iutellectual attainments, The elder O’Rielly and his wife came to Dowth Castle from Dublin. Their family consisted of five daughters and three sons, all of whom inherited the poetic qualities which attained full growth in the case of the second son—the subject of the lecture. At the age of eleven O'Reilly entered the oftice ot the Drogheda Argus as an appren- tice to the printing business, where he re- mained for nearly tour years and whence he went to the Guardian office ut Preston, where he soon graduated from the case to the reporter's desk. He left Preston in 1863, and shortly afterwards enlisted in the Teuth Hussars, ‘The Prince of Wales Own,” with the express inteution of suwing the seeds of disunicn amongst the men (for the Fenians were then actively engaged in preparing to battle for Ireland) and over- throwing «he Monarchy. While engaged in this work, O'Reilly was detected, tried by court-martial, and sentenced to death, which sentence was svbsequently commuted tu penal servitude fur twenty years, O'Reilly was first contined in Mountjoy prison, whence he was removed successively tc Pentonville, Millbank, Chatham and Dartmoor. From Dartmoor he was taken, with others, to Australia, being first imprisoned at Freemantle and sub. sequently at Bunbury. From the latter place on the 18th February, 1868, with the assist- ance of some friends and after suffering many hardehips, he escaped to America in a whal- ing ship. O'Reilly landed at Ph ladelphia on Nov. 23rd, 1869. From Philadelphia he went to New ‘ork, and from there to Bostos. At the latter place he secured employment with a steamship company, where he remained ur- til the epring of 1870 wlea he obtained em- ployment on the Plot «6 reporter, His liter: ary career is Boston is wel -known. By his own exertions—by sheer force of character and ability—he soon raised himself to the po- sition of Grst J:ighman io the land. His sud den death in the midst of a career of usefal- ness was depiored by persons of al! classes and creeds—by persons prominent in chareh sod astute, Jowards the end of his discourse Mr. Bent treated the gudience to selections from a veral of O'Reilly's best poems, A hearty vote of thanks, moved by Edward Hackett, Esq , and seconded by Joho MoSwain, Eeq , was tender.d Mr. Bent for his abie lecture. Father Hogan, President of the League of the Cross, presided. Before and after the lecture a very jnteresting programme of vocal and in- strumextel music was rendered, Mr. J. A.

Sirn,—If those who were behind the screens in St. Patrick’s Hall last night wish to sustain their reputation for courtesy to strangers and good early training, they will take this gentle hint and beware how they conduct the mrelvesa at lectures in future, when they are not visible.
