IQ LECTURES LAST NIGHT, | tuiy-ot ine gover patina army oranavy. The chief of am ‘THE LIBERTY BOYS OF NEW YORK. Soe Sosminy a0 rae et Lecture by Richard O’German at the Cooper | ‘e Telus in one hand. Institute. Last evening Mr. Richard O'Gorman delivered a NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. highly interesting @igcourse in the Cooper Institue tn.aid of the hospital in charge of the Sisters of Charity and under the auspices of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Seldom, indeed, has a more ‘Yumerous or appreciative audience assembled in the spacious hall, and considering the worthy object the result was regarded as gratifying in the extreme. The platform was crowded by several dis. ‘unguished clergymen and others, Mr. O'Gorman, on coming forward, was received ‘with loud tokens of approbation. He congratulated ‘me Society of St. Vincent de Paul upon tne grand results of their noble endeavors to promote the cause of charity, as well as the audhence for the sub- stantial support they had thus exhibited. They were all there to serve @ great and good charity spread by the Sisters of St. Vineent de Paul. He would briefily state who the Liberty Boys were and how they came to be in New York. He then en- tered into @ description of the landing of Henry Hudson, of the early settiements during the beginning of the seventeenth century and the flourishing state of the fur trade under the Dutch at New Amsterdam. He gave a vivid and highly humorous sketch of the early manners, customs and ordinances of the Dutch people, of the annoyance they endured from the Puritans, who subsequent came to Rhode Island from Holland, He next ac verted to the steady growth of the city of New York, contending that it was always a strangers’ city. From the start New York was what it ever shall be, @ great cosmopontan city, holding out the hand of welcome to every man of every race, of every clime and every religion. (Applanse.) To that it may attribute its prosperity, its grandeur and its freedom. (Applause.) Alluding to the infuence which the agent Of the English government exer- cized towards the people of New York, he paid @ h'gh tribute to Thomas Dungan for his tolerance and generosity. Thomas Dungin was an Irishman, (Applause.) He was Pere gad dismissed by James II.. which added another to that monarch’s many follies, James Il. was a bigotand a fool. One or fits weaknesses was a desire to force upon the people of England a form of worship which was dear to him and which he respected and venerated. Sut conscience must not be trammelied; man’s religion must, a8 a matter of necessity and right, always anda everywhere be free trom human law and human government, and 1 the people of England did not want to be Catholic he had no right to force it upon them, and he re spected them for resisting it. The lecturer then proceeded to refer to the organization of the Liberty Boys of New York on the occasion when the liberty of the press was first interfered With by the British government here. All the law- yers in New York were employed in the prosecution of the publishers; but the Liberty Boys procured the services of a Philade'phia lawyer. When the case came to be tried popular excitement rose hugh, and the jury, rightly appreciating the feelings of the people, acquitted the prisoner amid great acclama- ton. This was the first great feat of the Liberty Boys. Their justly formed antagonism to Brif- ish imposition gradually increased. ‘The association became formidable, andgthe British authority, wagn meadling with the rights and interest of the people of this city, was in every instance successfuily re- sisted. The Stamp act was not toleraved by the Vigilance and bravery of the Liberty Boys. "They ‘Were equally victorious in suppressing other out- Tageous efforts on the part of the British officials tn this city. The Liberty Boys held large meetings, had torchlight processions on nearly every occasion when insult was attempted, and the result of their deliberations was attended with great success, ‘When the British soidiers tore down the people's liberty pole indignation was thoroughly aroused, The sult was followed by a serious conflict between a soldiers Fon! the bg it rts at Golden Hill, in 8 city, When, after @ desperate struggie, the red coats were precy back defeated ‘and dismayed, That was the first fight of the American Revolution, It was @ mistake to suppdse Tat the first battle of the great Revolution- ary struggie was fought elsewhere than in New York city, under the auspices of the Liberty Boys. The lecturer then cited several instances of their heroic conduct in the great battle for inde- pendence, which he attributed in a great measure to their brilliant efforts. He concluded by paying a high tribute to the cause of charity, which the au- dience had so substantially assisted by their nume- rous presence, Throughout the lecture was repiete with much wit and humor and was frequently inter- rupted with applause, STEPPING STONES TO CIVILIZATION. Lecture by Professor Hoffstetter. Professor A. Hofstetter last evening delivered a lecture at the Willett street Methodist church on the above subject before a large audience, the majority of which were ladies. During the course of the lecture, which was an exceedingiy interest- img and instructive one throughout, and which gave evidence of much historical research on the part of the lecturer, the history of ancient Britain was minutely detailed, and very many facts which gave rise to the progress of Great Britain even in its earliest days were narrated and commented upon in avery lucid and logical man- ner. From the time of the invasion of Britain by Julius Cesar down to the nineteenth century the Jecturer folowed the various stages of the wonderfal career m the life of navions of the country that was conquered by the Romans only that future ages might profit by its great resources. ‘he state of so- ciety im the time of Cesar in Britain was described and very many aim features connected with the faslions and styles of those primitive days were given and contrasted with those of the present ad- vanced day. The who were subjected to the Roman yoke he also described, as well as their ways, their social customs and their religious practices. The iecturer then re- Jerred at great length to the Northmen and the dD. , who ruled the coast until Aifred, by the m of ius trasty sword, clove a way for freedom and caused his people, delivered by him trom thral- dom, to call him the “G King.” From Alfred's period the history of Great Britain was traced from centary to century, a8 well as the pro- gress and diffusion of the afts and educa- tee among the people, until the nation had become sevond to none in advanced civilization, Leaving England im her greatness and glory, the Jectarer came with Columbus to America and gave a skevca of her advancement from the day the Span- first set foot on American soil until the United oud extended its ireedom-loving ideas over tire continent, England ana America, feeturer said, had, from the first hour of their birth as nations, advanced stead- ily, sometimes slowly, but always surely in every- ting that goes to make a nation great and a people happy. They had like mother ana daughter walked hand and hand in the front rank of the army of pro- Tes had succeeded so to exert their combined for good that at the present day there was aspoton the globe where human beings were known that bad not been more or less benefited by if, A great lesson was to be jearned from the rise and progress of the*wo na- tions, fully as great as that which was taught to mankind by the sudden rise and the equally sudden fall of other nations, which, not having the inherent strength that England and Ameri had, were unable to go on the way to wh 4 orilliant foture had at first called them. The stepping stones by which Great Britan and America had risen to eminence In civilization were the eonstructive faculty or skill of imagination, or the poetical faculty; language the Christian religion, The Professor received the undivided attention of the audience during the b very of tue lecture and was heartily sppiauded its close, “A WEEK IM ST.

A Passenger’s Account of the Accident. The following account of the steamship Pereire disaster is given by one of the passengers:— ON BOARD STBAMER PEREIRE, Jan. 25, 1869. We left Brest on the 16th, but had only been six days to sea when the v met with @ fatal acci- dent, which prevented her from pursuing her course against the terrific sea and headwinds which were et 80 she was obliged to put into the nearest rr, From the time we put to sea we encountered very heavy weather, heavy winds and head seas nearly all the time. On the 20th and 2ist the wind increased to a perfect gale. About quarter past two o’clock in the afternoon of the 2ist, when we were in lat. 45 39, lon. 40 35, the vessel was struck by a hi dead sea, which swept away every- thing on deck from the bowsprit to the smoke stack. Many of the state-rooms were also carried away. On investigation as to the result of the damage it was jound eight persons were killed and twenty-one wounded, A great body of water passed over the vessel, and twenty-seven out of the thirty-two fires were extinguished. The captain promptly gave the order to wear ship, and that measure was success- fully carried through. Both officers and crew ve- haved gallantly throughout the trying ordeal. Further Particulars of the Accident and Testi- mony of the Passengers. * The following extracts from the Courrier du Havre of January 26 will tend to elucidate the disaster on board of the Pereire, the particulars of which have been so mysteriously withheld:— The steamer Pereire left Havre on the 15th and Brest on the 16th ult., under command of the abie seaman, Captain Duchesne. She experienced fear- ful weather, and on the 2ist the wind calmed, but the sea was tremendously agitated. At about halt- past two P, M. an extraordinary volume of water struck the fore part of the vessel, destroying the sa- Joona, the cabins, and all the forward fixings, sweep- ing olf the boats and causing the fail of one of the yards. This occurred at about 1,300 miles from Brest, and the vessel was fully four minutes in righting herself. Six persons were killed, three of whom were passengers. More than half of the fires were extinguished. If the sea had caught the vessel side- ways, instead of forward, she must inevitably have gone down. ‘The list of killed is as follows:— Leisour, sailor, and Jean Cahaguet, employé, were Swept off by the sea, Jean Jonan, sailor; skull fractured by the falling yard. Ltr Finkelberg, @ passenger, had her neck broken. Mr. O'Callaghan, a priest; killed by the yard fall- Ee onan y died it r. Foulguier, passenger, from concussion 0! the brain. gag Twenty of the passengers, officers and crew were Injured, but are progressing favorably, with the ex- ception of a missionary, who had one foot badly crushed, and gan rene 1s setting in the leg. ne efty autho! ities have spared no efforts in alle- viating the suifermgs of the inyured persons to the ‘utmost in their power. Extract of the Testimony Given by the Pase sengers. We, the undersigned, passengers on board of the French steamship Vereire during her voyage from Havre and Brest, bound for New York; having left Brest on the 16th and returned to port under damage, desire hereby to testify to the noble and solid quail- ties of the vessel, and especially to the admurabie sang fro, the aptitude and tie intrepedity of our brave Captain Duchesne, during the fearful wials that we just experienced. We dare to affirm that if, by the infinite grace of our Almighty Father, we are permitted once more to see those dear to us, we owe such favor, after God, to the quick decision, knowledge and consummate talent of Captain Duchesne, adwirably seconded by his officers and crew, because their activity and zeal caused the adopted measures to be crowned with success at the moment of the catastrophe. Four days after ieaving Brest, on the afternoon of Wednesday, January 21, a heavy gale gave way to a tempest and aiterwardg io a terrible hurricane. The vessel being brought to at two o'clock, was struck, or rather was buried under the most huge wave that any of us remember to have witnessed, although several of our party have crossed the Atiantuc many times during the last twenty years. This bulk of water, estimated at from 600 to 700 tons, broke on the bows, fees ged the saloon and carrying ail before it, killing and wounding some of the passengers and leaving,thejtore partiof the vessel open and 80 that the conunuation of the voyage was rendered impossibie in the face of rough we r. Notwithstanding tle inconvenience arising from our return to France, we consider the prompi action taken by the captains to have been the only means of saving the vessel and the passengers, We wish to prove that in our opinion the crew gave ‘ineing evidence of order, discipline and capacity during the sad and termbie circumstances through which we , and ti rt im the solidity and he nautical qualifications of the Pereire, the con- summate ability and intrepid courage of her valiant commander, only un on seeing them put to the tesi during such @ catastrophe. On board of the Pereire, at January 24, 1860, Here tollow the signatures of the passengers. ANOTHER BOLD ROBBERY. A Jeweler’s Window Broken=81,800 Worth of Diamonds Stolen. Ten, twenty and forty years’ sentences to the State Prison seems to have no terror for the thieves, who, driven out of English cities, have dropped down here to ply their profession, At twenty minutes before eight o'clock last even- ing, two imitators of the Park Bank robber made a successfal hau! on Broadway, At that hour Mr. Benedict, of the firm of Benedit Brothers, No. 691 Broadway, and two clerks were in the store preparing to close for the night, when their ears were greeted by the sound of break- ing glass at the front, and on turning their eyes in that direction a robber was observed to reach through the broken giass and seize a of dia- mond rings worth $1,800, with which and his confederates made off. The occupants broke for the street, and, with citizens, pursued them through Great Jones street gto the Bowery, where they were lost in the crowd of persons at’ that time on the street and made their escape. An examination of the window showed that one of the thieves had approached the French = armed with a flat piece of iron, upon oh there ‘was in the centre a cone, and striking it a powerful blow made a hole about three feet in ciroamference in the window, as well as a smaller hole in the glass case situated about four inches from the low, which surrounded the tray containing the diamonds. A confederate was near by and she his hand in secured the tray, leaving about $10, ‘worth of sets deliind. ‘The thieves lett vehind them the iron oy aed _— — oe suemoe was ge In haste to make good their escape they 4 — which was found ead returned bya le gir!

Marine Disasters. Brio BRILLIANT—Captain Craig, of the British steam- ship Europa, reports on Thursday, Jan 28, Int 62 46, lon 27 14, picked up from the brig Brilliant, of St John, NB, Captain Joseph MeCart, Redmond Desmond, first mate, and five of her crew. She had safled from Wilmington, NO, and the bar on the &th January, with rosin and turpentine; had expert- enced very strong gales up tothe 25th, after which it blew a fearful hurricane and washed away the wheel, breaking all the steering gear to pieces and washing the first and second mates overboard. The first mate was got on board again, but the second mate, Asa Bryant, was never seen. After losing foretopmast staysafl and maintopsail had to cut away the foremast, for the purpose of keeping her too; but this proved of no use, and as she was gaining water rapidly it was thought prudent to abandon her. When Mr Jas Nicol, chief officer of the Europa, left her for the second time he found four feet of water inthe hold. After leaving the wreck, and Streamer?
