I.) News we find the following paragraph : ~\Scumeg Mansions Rextep.—We learn from Alfred Smith, Esq.. that there are now cottages for larger number than bave ever before been rented so early in the spring. Last year at this time.only eleven had been on E season would the most brian Oe hat has ever been known in New- port. As there are go man’ already rented, we sla’ probably Publis our anual lst o¢ mer Mansions Rented’ in a few weeks, much corlior sine we bawe usually put it before the pub- It will be perceived from the above that capi- talfsts and owners of property in Newport build sumamer mansions and cottages especially for the accommodation of sojourners at that fashionable coekcoe during the few weeks of what is termed season. rental for these buildings must be remanerative. for they would not other- wise be built. and we have no doubt their owners realize a very large per centage on such invest- merits Many of t ‘who visit watering-places or ng r to other fashionable resorts, although only latendi to remain there some eight or ten weeks, prefe: have homes of their own, instead of Fees <a Sag hotels. No matter how good the latter may be, they can never be so managed as to afford a family the same comfort and enjoyment as a private dwelling of which they are the sole inmates, and which they manage to their own liking. tf, then. itis a pecuniary advantage to capitalists to erect residences which the ealy expect to rent during a brief portion of eac summer, Why would it not be 2 good speculation € Wangs capitalists to put up buildings in thiscity, with a view to accommodate the hu who come hither to icipate in the gaicties of which this me is is the scene du our “season?” It seems but rational to su; that ta would be the case, and that the rent of such buildiags here would be far wore profitable than those in Newport ean be. Our -- season" is a great dgal longer than that of the Newport folks. for it commences geuerally several days or to the annual sessions of Congress. and continues till the close. whether the session be a short or long one. It is. im fact. the fashionable winters resort for the peopie ef this entire country, and many more would come hither to spend their winters. if they could obtain private residenees, where their do- iuestic affairs would be under their own control. Again, by having sueh residences for the ac- com jon of visitors, many of those whose visits now continue but for a few weeks only, would, most probably, remain throughout the en- ire session of Congress; and very likely, espe- cially where the session is a long one, many would continue with us during the entire year. Num- bers migat also be thus led to become permanent residents, who. under exi i ustances, would never think of uaki permanent abode.

Holston, M.D. This lecture occu- pied about two hours in its delivery, and we shall not, therefore. be able to give even a synopsis of it in the columns of the Star. The lecturer, ia opening, dwelt upon the benificence aud wisdom the Almighty im preparing the earth as an abvede for man. He called attention to the fact that it abounds iu every thing necessary for mau’s port. and as far as his physical nature is con- ed, for his happiness; also, that every de- seription of the earth's products, mineral, vegeta- bie or animal, subserve some pe pose beneficia! to wan. The arrangement of the iineral products so that man should discover them and avail him- self of their qualities. was also alluded to. The lecturer then proceeded to show that it was not ibie. however, for man to know, from the teachings of nature alone, that there isan Almighty Being who was the designer and creator of all, and hence Divine revelation became necessary. He then proceeded to show how harmoniously scten- tifie traths agree with the traths of revelation ; yet urging bis hearers to remember, meanwhile, that the revelations of God do not purport to reveal ifle facts. but great al troths. and bence when natural phenot uded to in the Bible, the lauguage w hat in vogue with the people to whom the reveiatiou is made. ‘The language of science is not used, because at that dey it would not have been understood. For instance, the sun and moon are spoken of as rising and setting, and the revolutions of the earth are nut spoken of. Yet now-a-days nobody doubts the latter theory. al- though apparently in contradiction of the Bible Se with afl other physical phenomena of which the Bible speaks. W hen it seems to be to the truths revealed by scientitic development, we must not conclude it is on that account false. or that the revelations of science are false, but that the discrepancies arise from the fact that the reve- jations of the Bible are couched in language fa- miliar to the people of the day in which they were ultered, and not with any view to scientific inves- tigation. ‘ “He then proceeded to speak of the creation of the world. The account contained in Genesis, be supposed to have been revealed to Moses in a vision. and the division of the time into six days corresponded with the six periods Referens amg assests Witnessed the deposit of the six strata of the earth's formation, Tne diversificati > strata in the forms they assume was ali ac- counted for on strictly scientific privefples; and tee mutations Were show: have been necessary to prepare the earth for man.

The lecture was certain- ly of the most instruc’ character, and the audi- ence apparently was highly pleased.

With a slight exception or two, christian courtesy marked the discussion, and the gentleman from Maryland vindicated bis position in a highly honorable and phi spirit, announcing his readiness to take as of a self-sacrifice as any member on the floor of the convention. The following resolution was offered : Resolved, That every member of this Confer- ence who is now. or may be der, shall be required to manumit the male slaves at 21 years of aye and the females at 18 years, and those over these ages to be manumitted at once a miliarly to the hand of an outraged husband.
