This lecture shall not be of a theo- nor of an absol@ely religious nature; [ trust, same time, that it will not be al- together devoid of some reflections that may useful, and perhaps not uninteresting. The simple ave Ba, ar jour of the world enemies, were jealous to those who desired to entrap him, did not suit them, when he said ‘render unto Cwsar the things that are Cesar's, and 0 God the things that are God's. Acquainted wif the history of the church, a8 you are, the first thing that must strike you is, that wherever the Christian religion was promulga- ted it was denounced, not only among the Jews. but by a numerous class in all countries, under a falla- jous pretext. This has been the case in the British empire and other lands, and in no place has the dis- tinction been drawn that Cesar’s rights and the rights of God are distinct. There perhaps has never been a time when ideas regard to duties in re- ference to God and man, were so unsound as they are to-day. This question can have but little bear- ing, however, upsn this country, in which freedom of conscience is tolerated. It might be a puzzling question for some to explain to us what is the origin of rights of any kind. If you can judge of the con- ceptions of them by their gare this world of peace and protection would be changed into one of anarchy. Right is the divine law. is not a sentiment, an opinion, or an impres- ion. The foundation and measure and rule of all right must be the law of God. Human law melt would have no force, unless it had anteriorly sanction of divine authority. If there were no Jaw, there would be neither right nor wrong, because man’s own opinion cannot make right nor wrong. Fre ie whether of religious, or civil, or social life, its co-relative duties, and rights and duties, as applied to individuals, mutua!ly balance each other. Society iteelf is a compromise of rights. Who is the absolute freeman? It is the savage who lives in the forest. Every advance in society has been a diminution of individual liberty, and the more society improves, the more and more multiplied are the cur- iments of human liberty. Of course man submits to it, and is proud of it. What are all these forms of etiquette and kindly intercourse, but bringing every man, by the |e ry of civilization, under the neces- sity of complying with social requirements, which, in a state of barbarism, might be dispensed with? We are all dependent on one another, and society must depend upon the readiness of every member to relia- juish some of his own rights, and even eae and com- fort, ‘o the common good. Then comes the law of the land. The duty of every man is obedience to that law, whether in a republic, a monarchy, or under a despotic ferm of government; for too, “‘ we must render unto Cwesar the things that are Cmsar’s, and unto God the things that are God's.” This obedience to the law is a sacrifice of individual liberty, as an exchange for the protection which society affords, in all the relations of iife. Let me not be under-tood as saying that ix any pos sible case revolution and rebellion can be justified. Governments are constituted for the welture of so- ciety, and not for their own benefit; but in a case where the privileges of society are vivlated—as it was when Cesar trenched upon religions rights—it may become a duty to protect those privileges. The most wise and profound theologians have said that —— is a virtue which comes next after our juty to God, and its claims are paramount to those of our own families; and that in the course of his- tory many difficulties have arisen between the church and the civil State, and that the church has always been blamed. But let any uoprejudiced person look at all the circumstances, aud he will { that the church was not in fault. The church has always been in favor of society and the people, and Europe would now have vee: covered with des. reigns, had it not been for the Cathol: which intimated to C: Cesar, he was nothin, t alarmed, for we belony to 2 series of prince long established to believe that we Cath unfit tor the privileges we possess That was the clamor of 1200 ye , and has been, and is the clamor, in almost e itry at the present day. While we ‘render ur Jw-ar the thing= that are Fesar’s,”” we must not forget that God is superior to werything. In the meantime it is our duty to culti- ate and cherish ev best feeling towards all man- lind, but especially cowards that lund the popula- , jn part, compose. God has cast great and broad land, but it has its fim ts, and sremember that it is our duty to sustain cll socialand civil relations so far as they are no infringement upon the duties that we owe to our Creator. Then you will fulfil yoar duty as members of the church—you will “render unto God the things thatare God’s”—and clinging fast to the tixed prin- ciples of your religion and your country, you will be Ornaments to the one, and in the four of need— which God forbid—y: a will be amongst the strongest Stays and supports of the other.

The custom of celebrating the aunnal returs of this, the most delightful of the fair sisterhood of months, is ‘truly beautiful custom ; and while the age of pro- gress has ran its iron car over many of the pleasaut ‘Observances of the past, it isa source of pleasure to be assured that at least one has been spared—a hap- py custom, welcomed alike by youth and by age. Of the many May festivals we have ever attended, we must award the palm to that celebrated on Fri- day evening last, by the young ladies connected with the music class of the Greensboro’ Female College. It was truly an occasion of the most delightful char- acter. The exercises consisted of the Queen, or the Coronation of the Rose,” and were under the immediate direction of Mr. Nathan B. Clapp, the accomplished professor of music in that ition. Twelve young ladies personified flowers Miss Crane, of Savannah, the Rose; Miss Zimmer- Bowman, the Crocus; ; Miss J.

The manner in which the several parts were per- formed was far more than creditable to the young ladies—it honored both them and their instractor. With sweet voices, rich and musical songs, modest and lady-like depdrtment upon the mage they won irresistibly upon the admiration of the audience; and we could not but join fervently in the expres- sion used by one of our Senators, who was present, and who exclaimed at the close, “Girls, you looked 80 sweetly and sang so well, that I feel like kissing every one of you!” Indeed, the scene was one which surpasses the descriptive power of the pen. ‘The hall was beautifully and tastefully decorated, the stage resembled a secluded dell in some forest of peo ny Cer the performers were arrayed in simple white , garlanded with flowers, and fally met the description of the poet in his lines to “Sunny-eyed and ha; iris, ‘With oven in theie se We cannot resist the temptation to extract from the libretto the following beautiful songs, a few out of the many which charmed the audience by the of their vesification, as well as by the manner in they were sung. : Here follow a number of beautiful and appropriate Te affords us pleasure to state, in #s connection ‘that the reensor Female College ie avery flou- perous condition.

(From the Boston Transcript} In a charming mansion in St. James's place, secluded somewhat from the roar and tumult of the great city, still lives the venerable poet of the © Pleasures of Memory,” whose great age, (ninety years having rolled over his bald ripe forehead,) dis- walifies him trom taking his long accustomed walks about the metropolis. Mr. Rogers sat in Westminster Hall when Burke and Sheridan were pouring out London was ringing with the applause which elo- ent Brinsley elicited on that occasion. He is therefore part and parcel of bye-gone days, and very good authority on what havpened during the last sixty years. In a fine large house in Tavistock place, Tavistock square, sits Charles Dickens, busy as a bee over * Bleak House” and “ Household Words.” On an afternoon the loiterer in that vicinity may catck a glimpse of bis thin hair, now sprinkled with gray, as it is tossed by the summer wind which visits his desk as he sits writing in his ample library room. It is not an unfrequent occurrence to meet him in a rail car, rushing out of London for a few days respite at Brighton or Bath. fine day, between 12 and 2 o'clock, he may be found at the Garrick Club, in King street, Covent @arden, poring over a French newspaper, or chatting with Albert Smith over a mutton chop and sherry addi- tions. Itis not an unusual thing to find him at one end of poor Charles Kemble’s ear trumpet, or vis-a- vis with Buckstone, the comedian, discussing old actors and defunct Drury lane. Barry Cornwall lives in Harley street, Cavendish square, where he is spending the happy evening of his life, beloved by all who are fortunate enough to know one of the most glorious song writers in the English tongue. Valter Savage Landor is at home in Bath, having been expelled trom Italy on account of his “ dan- gerous liberty doctrices.” At rare intervals he goes up to London, and then his hosts of friends flock around him, and make his fine old face radiant with smiles at the profuse hospitality poured around him. In the village of Twickenham, in a modest brick houre by the roadside, muses Alfred Tennyson, the Poet Luureate of England. His own publisher only meets him once or twice a year, as he eschews Lon- don and loves privacy. As’ yoa walk by the side of the Thames on a Sunday evening, at the sunset hours, sometimes the white hat of Alfred, the bard of ‘‘Locks- eae is visible. ‘he Brownings are like swallows, flitting from clime to clime, but London is often in their way, and they may be met not untrequently at the National Gallery in Tratalgar square, or at the opera. Both are so delightful to encounter, but this pleasure, like all exquisite enjoyments, is rare. Ifone should try very hard to get a glimpse of the illustrious Thomas Carlyle,the great Sartor Resartus of modern Europe, he would find it a difficult matter. Thomas likes to be a lion, but he don’t want anybody in his own cage beside himself. He lives in Chelsea, and often comes to town, but to find him often is not common even to his best friends. Macaulay is 4 club man, and when he is not among his idols (the books of the British Museum,) he may be* met with in the brilliant rooms of the ‘Athe- neeum” or the ‘Reform.’ On a lazy, hagy London day proper, he might with a certainty be counted on over 4 folio in a snug aleove of the * British.” Dear, kind, genial old Leigh Hunt, toddiing over the pavement in the Strand, toward his son’s news- paper office, is a common occurrence. He livesa few miles from the dust of Fleet stteet, but he seems to love its dingy walls, and grows warm and eloquent over jts rush and whirl.

The tall gentleman with the nose. and the waistcoat, and the elegant cravat, is Sir Baward Lytton, or Bulwer, ws you may happen to call him. He is telling Mr. Chapman, who has his ear clore tothe baronet’s bosom, that the en- graving just brought in for his inspection is not uite right in the direction of the whiskers and the shirt collar. Spite of his dandy aspect and his af- fected drawl, no better hearted gentleman wields the fiuent quill than the author of “My Novel.” When- ever he runs down from his excellent retreat at Knebworth to London, he does so many acts of kind- ness for poor brother authors, that Bulwer'’s guineas are as sure a3 morning suns or eveniug stars.

Almost his parting words were that after death he would come and rap around us, so that we should have no peace until we believed.

The an nuai pre-entation of this werk always affords us mach pleasure, cembined with a very considerable amount of na- tional pride. Hoth feelings are considerably enhanced upon this occasion by the appearance of the werk now before us. In the orthography of the christian and sir- names of individuals, the spelling of the names of streets, locations of churches, bauks. and other public tastitu- tions, it is faultless. and may be regarded by the foreigner or stranger citizen travelling through the “Empire City”? as an infallible guide, whilst the typographical execution of the book renders it an enduring memento of our succes tive triumphs in mechanical art.

Jenner. &'Randall's druggist and apothecary | store, at about 5 o'clock, and destroyed their entice stock, they only having been spared time to save their safe and thelr books. ‘The fire seemed to have communicated with the painte, oils, camphene, and other inflammable sub- stances, before the engines could be brought to bear, and so intense had become the heat therefrom, that the buildings adjoining were yon on fire, and four stores and Tammany Hall were pretty much destroyed. The buil ings burned were Tammany Hall, belonging to Hon. Da- vidC Judson, Mr. Alden Villas’ two stores, and Messrs. J. & G. R. Bell's two stores, all situated on’ Ford street, near the corner of Catharine atrect. A large share of the sand furniture in these buildings, with the excep- ion of Jenner & Randall's, was aaved in a damaged con- dition. ‘The occupants of ‘the buildings destroyed were substantially as follows :—Judson’s Taamany ing, basement stor pied by Mr. L A Pierce, book- seller, and Messrs. Baker's meat shop. Second story, R. W. Judson, E+q.’s, law office, John Nash, barber shop, and in the rear of this story Police Justice Bacon held his courts The third story was used for a village lock-up, or ‘black hole,” which had but one tenant at the time, and who wax fortunately rescued more scared than hurt.

ConsvgaL AFFECTION OF A JuRoR.—The jury in the case of the State vs. the negro girl Faaay, for poisoning the family of Mr. Menkins, were dismissed yes- terday morning by Jucge Colt. Two of the witnesses in the case were examined on Wednesday, and when the Court adjourned, the jury, as in such cases, were required to remain to themselves. They were accordingly found quarters in the Planters’ House. Duriog the night, one of the jurymen, named Thomas Shield: ped the Mar- shal, and went home to his wife, When the court met yesterday morning, the judge was informed of this pro- ‘ceeding. When Shields was questioned as to his reasons for leaving and disobeying the orders of the Court, he re- plied that he had been a married man for twelve years, and had never been away from his wife one night in the whole of that time, and that ho found it utterly impossi- ble to be absent from her. The State's Attorney suggested that another juryman be found in his place, to which proposal Mr. McClain, the counsel for the defence, ob- jected, and the Judge dismissed the jury, ordering an es- cial yenire of fifty jurymen for the 8th of next month. e judge fined the delinquent $50 for his conjugal atfec- tion, which fine was afterward commuted to three days imprisonment in jail. The proceeding was rather a novel manner of showing contempt of Court.—S¢. Louis Intellé gencer, May 20. Great FLoop In THE GasconaDE River IN Mis- s0uKL—A letter from a reliable source on the Gasconade river, of the 9th inst., gives a melancholy account of the destructim of property caused by a freshet in that quar- ter. On the 5th inst., it is stated that there was not sufficient water to send forward the rafts of lumber which pad been cut, but in twenty-four hours from that time, the river ro-e seventeen or eighteen feet, and broke loose seven out of ten rafts, and floated off about one hundred thousand feet from the steam mill No. 1, only a part of which can be recovered Fort’s mill and part of the dam were washed off; Lynch’s dam was badly broken; Stephen’s’ mill was washed off; Hedrick’s dam was broken ; Trusty’s dam was broke away ; and also Ormeby’s mill, with about one hundred thousand feet of lumber; Burnett & Bates’ mill, not much damaged, being situated on Springs. All the mills ‘and dams destroyed or injured, and not much lumber can be expected from that quarter until the mills are rebuilt. Nearly all the farms on the river were very much damazed, vhe feneing washed off, avd the soil either washed off or covered with sand. The water covered large portions of the country fo the depth of four or five feet —Missouri ican, May 2 * RartroaD Lrasiuitres iN Connecticur.—It is not generally known that, in the State of Connecticut, a statute was fremed in the session of 1848, which provides that ‘actions for injury to the person, whether such in- jury result in death or not. shall survive to the executor or administrator, provided not more than one year elapse between the injury and death, und provided also the cause of action aball have occurred subsequently to June 27, 1848.” This provision seems to have escaped general observation, owing to the fact that, before the Norwalk mossacre, no case had occurred for its application. The plain construction of this statute authorizes the executors cf any person injured or killed through the neglect or de- fault of any person or corporation, to recover damages, and without any rertriction as to the amount Tue FisHery Question.—Mr. Crampron Suc- CEsS¥UL.—It will be seen. by the following paragraph from the Washington Union that the British Minister has been actively engaged with the fishery question, and tnat he har been eminently successful in dealing with it :— We are informed that Mr. Crampton, the Britien Minis. ter, and Mr. Lanwan, captured at the Little Falls of the Potomac yesterday morning about two handred and fifty pounds of rock fish or basa. The total number was sixty- four, the largest weighing nearly twelve pounds. The fish were caught within the space of two hours—from tive to seven—and from one rock. This is said to be the best sport which has been experienced at the Little Falls for ten years past. Thisisa ‘fish story” to which we can testify; for some of the fish we have had the satisfaction of exjoying The largest, the polito anglers presented to the President. A Man Drownep.—We learn from Philadelphia that Capt. B. Phillips, of schooner Victoria, from Vienna, Maryland, was knocked overboard yesterday morning by the main boom striking him, and despite every exertion by the crew to save him, was drowned. He leaves a wife and son, whose residence isin Dorchester county, Mary- land, to mourn his loss.
