Itis seldom we have heard a speaker combine so many of the requisites for a popular lecturer as Mr. King. Musical voice, excellent manner, and graphic poetical figures; in fact the audience were completely carried away by his poetry, and we verily believe thought less of the subject than of the manner in which the speak- er, treated it. Mr. K, was frequently greeted with loud bursts of applause. Mr. Kino said—Ladies and Gentlemen, the subject matter of my lecture evening, is Goethe and his writin, in many respects it is an excellent subject for a public speaker. At the time of his death, about fifteen years > ,» he was consi- dered the founder of German literature, He was & t as well as a philosopher, and was considered ike unto Plato, Aristotle, and the other sages of antiqui- ty. In these days, however, thie position has been dis- puted, and ithas been warmly contended by many, that in place of standing in the firat rank, his proper position isin the second or third. But the great question is, shall he maintain the bigh position he occupied at his death, or shall he be hurled fom it. Without doubt, his history oomes under the definition of that of a great man; he teaches men to love themselves. to love each other,and their neighbors. Goethe’s Lee ine not, by an: means, a drama. He was an observant philosopher, an: his life was cast in a very particular iod of the world’s history. During his life, Frederick the Great lived. He saw the rise of England. He saw the declaration of the American Revolution. He saw the mighty Napoleon commence and terminate his glorious career. Evenin his younger days he was con- sidered o child of genius; he was early acquainted with solence and general literature. As said of his early ge- nius, the child is father to the;man, it is the acorn from which, being warmed by the genial influence of sum- mer, the sturdy osk is produced. This proves to a de- monstration the advantages of knowing intimately the homes and haunts of the poets. ‘I'here is little, inde reported of the early life ot Goethe. His father w strong minded pl phical gentleman; his mother move of a Kindred spirit; to them his education was com- ‘To the infant everything is beautiful. But, as arns, he becomes acquainted that such is not the case, He thensaid that obildren, if proporly taken care of, might do much in their igfant years. Goethe was in his infancy 8 hilosopher, with a knowledge of air, light, an jing to him was fresh and invigorating. He was from under his paren's, and alr, light ‘and liberty was a splendid phan- taemagora. It wasinthe splendor of God’s works this oung shaver delighted to dw: ll, The world to him was like « picture, every man and woman living beings there- in. His early productions were ever pretty—he was very minute aod particular in his description of men and things; he described young ladies most beautifully. It was from his beautiful taste that he was s0 very particu- lar in his, dress and oucward appearance. He once studied the soy thology of Iceland, but it Ud of little use to him. His habit of arranging and grouping everything was remarkable. He was, truly, s philosopher cf the world. Nothing escaped hie notice; anu every thing he collected he placed thereon his own impress. The great earthquake at Lisbon he pictured in uli its awful horror, and said, he could not reconci'e it with God’s goodness, and this was not lessoned by a storm which took place, and destroyed some property of his father. At coven years of age, he conceived @ great affection for Peter the Great, and was displeased at his friends for not agreeing with him. He became stoical in his opinions, and many allege that at this time he threw oif all religious feelings whatever. He fell in love with a young lady, and produced a number ot He had uo funds, 80 marringe was out of the . He went to college, and there studied. @ mind conscious of great power. He went to college «a to prison. He wentto brenk- fort; he there got acquainted with one Herde}, who did him much injary. ‘ibis individaal oriticised his books severely, and had a considerable power over him. At last he borrowed money fcom Goethe, whose purse was ill supplied, and promised to return it'on a certain duy. Goethe borrowed it himself; his friend did not retu: it as promised, and when he did, insulted hia This had the effect of souring Goethe's spirits ‘y much He fell in love with another lady, Frederika. His love was returned, but he was convinced she would not make @ suitable companion ier him. He waved his hand, and bade her farewell. He was now in his 234 , and had published nothing to speak of. At last the case of Lord Byron, who estab- lished his reputation by @ hasty effori, juduced him to do the same, and he succeeded. He saw the eubject pajnted on teacups, He aguin fell in love with s young ludy, named Lela. She also returned his love ; but, on re- viewing tbe state of his finances, he saw it was impossi- bie, acd turned to the composition of adrama. Sho proposed torun off to America ; but he would not. He turned to Switzerland, and travelled. Mr. K. then gave an account of his proceedings at court. While he at- tended its affairs, ho did not iorget literature, Lav pub- lished more worke, His tcavels in Italy showed, that when any trial took place, or when Napoleon reigued over Europe, he returned to his studies, and io the works of nature found relief from the troubles sround him; and refuted the charge of immoraluy in his workreeproved that they, were not so; and thet though they did not speak of or in favor of morals, they i He was (continued Mr. K ) was, like Lord Roes’s tele- dull, Tbe sales of produce of all kinds were very Mmited.

Ose Week Later rrom Sourn Amgrica.— We have received by the bark Stella, Captain Sliver, from Rio Janeiro, files of the Jornal do Comercio, to the 26th of November, inclusive. Verbally, we learn that Captain Stringham, late of the ship-of-the-line Ohio, is coming home in the bark Kirkland, which vessel was to sail from Rio Janeiro on the 2d December. He was suc- ceeded in the command by Captain Taylor, who went out passenger inthe frigate Brandywine, for that purjose. : The Ohio was to leave forthe Pacific in two days. Our files of the Jornal are quite barren of po- litical news, containing no accounts from Mon- itevideo or Buenos Ayres. For the information of our medical readers, to whom and the public generally, it is by no means divested of interest, we translate the follow- account of a purely domestic occurrence, by which it will be seen that the contest between lhomeppathy and allopathy is raging hotly at Rio janeiro. i 2 On the 18th ult. died, M. Leitas, jr, at Nic- eroy. His body was carried next day to the athedral for burial. The ceremony was about proceed, when an anonymous letter was re- eived, stating that M. Leitas had been poisoned. ‘he poison was aconite, or wolfsbane, adminis: red by an homepathie practitioner, two hours fore fis death. The doctor was arrested, and the body opened and examined. | ral ‘black pots were seen on the int stines, indicating the ction of a strong poison. The homapathist fiered to drink up his own medicine, but was jot permitted; a dose, however, was given toa at, and the cat till living The affair is ill undecided, and is a subject of agitation md talk for a!l Rio Janeiro. The following, relating to the bleckade of uenos Ayres, is the latest we have from that uarter, doted Nov. 7th. The French have one teamship, owe corvette, and six or seven smaller ro ft, all inlly armed, and are keeping up astrict lockade, both upon ships cominy in, as well as joing out.

According to the latert official | returns from the general and State governments, it ap — pears that the aggregate indebtedness of all the govern- ments of the confederacy, amounts to $29) which nearly one-half is due from the general govrers- ment, the States of New York and Pennsylvants. ‘The year 1847 has been remarkable for the resump- tion of two States—Maryland and Indisnea—the first im fall, and the recond partially. Maryland, from this | time forth, will pay the intereston her debt promptly, | and Indians will, without doubt, promptly pay the im — terest on that portion of the debt which the Stete her assumed. ‘The canal is in a rapid state of progress, and | will be finished full as soon as anticipated. Every ex- tension increases its productiveness, and the revenue from it will, without doubt, exceed the estimate, long before it is completed. Iinois is promptly meeting every promise, made; and | the partial resumption made in the payment of interest, has been adhered to, and funds are now in the hands of the President of the American Exchange Bank, to pay. one-half per cent on each bond, on the Ist of February The dividend will be paid on $9,200,000, and the pay- } ment of one per cent will require $92,000, Fifty thou- sand dollars have already been received, and a further sum is expected. The payment of oue-halt per cent is therefore, secured, and there is very little doubt but | that fall one per cent will be paid.
