The subject is one of great interest, and is wae treated by Dr. B. in an able manver, as far as tt was bis purpose to go into the subject.

It was the late Congress of ‘aris wbich initiated the subject and communicated its | proposition for the abolisbing of privateering to the Ca- bipet of Wathington, as well as to the other Cabinets.

It certainly 8 ibe moet wiivential of them all Kyen this topic was \akea up by Mr, B avd bandied wholly in referense to religion and the courch. We will not tollow the lecturer in Dis train of observations upom the newspaper press.

He limited bimself to this narrow range, and, as far his Imits aliowed him, considering the purely ecclesi- | aetical and theological view which he had marked out, he confined bimeeif. Be treatea the subject with coo siderable ability. Coxiining himself wholly to a religiout view of civiiizauon, Mr. B treated the present and past condition of mankiod, since tbe commencement of the Christian era, in dependence upon the action and in- imences of the Church of Rome. It is orrtain that of all studies the most intersting is that of man apd bis civilization. Me. B, therefore, placed bim- veil under considerable disadvantage im thas Iinit- ing the field of bis inquiries and studies upon this wonderful being, bis collective progress and Sdvanceinent or recession, a8 to materia! prosperity and well being, in subordiuation to the existence and domi- nation of « great religions corporation. Certainly the subject soars far beyond the narrow limits and confined point of view in which Mr. B. regarded it. Bat we have bo right to complain of the position in which Mr. B. placed bimself to look down upon the modera world and examine into its condition. He sccomplished all that bo bad premised, apd carried his hearers as far as, aod whither, he intended. Mr. B. was peouliarly happy in some of bia definitions, incidentally given in the course of his lectures. We thovght it a good definition of poli ic: as be Geiined the word, viz: ‘*Politics is nothing bat application of scund morals to the social condition and organization of society.’’ Another definition was ing, because jast and Mr. B. defined revelation to be ‘the expression of the goodness, mercy and kindness of God.” fe do not vouch for the exact words, but such was the idea perhaps beiter expressed than we have given it Mr. B. lays down, indeea, many positions which me ‘ar ep: cad and smiled upon by judges and juries, " pcrism and beggary, in spite of national Gisorders and ditorgenizations, in spite of flibusteriag anc larceny of kingdoms ard territories, im spite of the reign of Bombas end Ieabeliss, the world is the aes of berutifal etviization—it is going on wonderfully wail, tt 16 ministrative boards im be intervention of their members | PC*\ 3 ‘a lovely vista inthe inspection aud direction of ne exferent depart: | 2°"PE 0d Lis A Pl Rory amd folic = is rtretched in the futwe oefore it, al These administrators are geo ondtted for the position they hold.
