A Crowded House at the Academy. Charity, Celibacy, Liberty and the Bible. The Americans the Foremost Nation of the World. Jesus Christ the Grand Hope of Dfankind. The Academy of Music last evening was aglow ‘With the intelligence of the city. And it was an extra- ordinary occasion which cailed the people together, Centuries ago, Peter the Hermit traversed the whole of Hurope, and with his tongue of fire he called the men to arins to rescue the Holy Land from the do- minion of the heathen. Pére Hyacinthe 1s a second Peter the Hermit. He lectured yesterday and it must be seid, in truth, that such a lecture has seldom been heard in this city. His subject was “Charity,” but he went over the whole field of Christianity, and, though speak. ing in French, his whole being was to such an ex- teut wvoived ta the subject-imatter of the discourse that the large audience were carried away aud felt with him, and although a large portion of the peopie present did not understand what he said, they were led away by his voice, is action and his manner, for it is no exaggeration to say.that such a public lecturer as Pere Hyacinthe bas seldom if ever been heard in Now York. The house was crowded. The stage was filled with the most prominent people of the city, among whom could be noticed Mr, William Cullen Bryant, Erastus ©. Benedict, Horace Greeley, Joseph A, Choat, James W. Beekman, Judge Davies, Judge Bosworth, 8, P. Nash, George £. Betts, Dr. Doremus, Judge Blatchford, Rey. Mr. Farrell, Rev. Dr. Schaft, Rev. Dr. Adams, Rey, Dr. Fields, General John A. Dix, Mr. De la Forette, Consui General of France; Mr. Rouhoud, Chancellor of the Consulate; Dr. Johannes Roesing, Consul General of North Ger- many, and many others of equal prominence. When the nour for the lecture approached Mr. Caylus, lcading the hero of the evening on his arm, stepped up to the front and, while Pére Hyacinthe seated himscif in the armchair, Mr. Caylus addressed the assemblage as follows, in French :— Lapius AND GENTLEMEN—The President of the Société de Bienfaisance being indisposed and unable to be present he asked me to represent him. I take his place feeling deeply my incapabiiity of repre- senting him. [ wish to make you acquainted with our illustrious countryman. I do not wish to thank him for his assent to the call made upon him, I leave that to the Managers, for no words of mine would be able to express my thanks, But I will take this occa- sion to mention here that it is with pride I see so large an audience assembled to listen to a discourse fn the French language in this country. Our Ger- man friends have listened to their speakers and the Insh have had their orators speak to them, and I only mention the illustrious name of Archbishop Hughes. The Americans listened to the eloquent language of an Everett and others, This evening we shall have the pleasure of lisiening to a lecture on the grand idea of “Charity,” and in the language i wiil recali to us sounds of home. (Cheers.) I understand your impatience; but it would be tn vain if I were to try to make these remarks afterwards, nor would it receive your attention after being under the impres- sion and influence of his power of speech, I now have tue honor to introduce to you Pére Hyacithe, Father Hyaciathe stepped up to the footlights and was received with great applause. He looked calmly around, and glancing at his audience from pit to dome, he seeined at once to have taken the measure of its lutellectual capacity, for, before he spoke a singte word to the auditory, he whispered to Mr. Caylus, “Je les connais.” Bowing, the reve rend gentleman spoke substantially a3 follows: — And Talso, on coming to this country, had formed the resolution to keep quict, not to speak, but to study the nature and the character of its people. I came to learn, to study, but not to speak. Yet how coula I deciine when I find France in America? I was called upon by the French Benevolent Society to come to their atd in their nobie objects in belp- ing the poor in the approaching winter. The French population of New York is very siwall, but they need not be less proud of it; for the name of Lafayette stands by the sice of Washington, and Frenchmea are found named in the nistory of this country. I have to excuse myself on accounts of my imability to speak as 1 would Wish to speak, The climate, which I am not accus- tomed to, is the cause of it, and, as you see, I am sutfering irom it.

There seems to be no cessation of interest in the questions raised by the recent assassination of Albert D. Richardson, a8 may be seen by the length and variety ol correspondeace bearing on the matter. Nor ts there likely to be a falling otf for some time to come of the pubiie concern in all that appertains to a subject of such transcendent social importance as that which concerns the integrity of the marriage relation. Human freedom aud civilization are not more dependent on Christianity than Cnelstianity itself 1s depeudeat upon the sacredness in which the institution of marriage is held. When the notsy nondescripta of the Woman’s Sudrage Bureau trample the traditions of eighteen centuries under foot and openly advocate freciovisim, 1t is time to inquire wuither are we steering? But let oar cor- respondents speak:— MAKING ASSASSINATION. Ba‘ To THe Epitok or Tus HERALD:— At seems to be a matural impulse of the human Heart to punish great offences with the utmost rigor, Hence, at a period auterior to the present day, it Was customary for an aggrieved party to challenge the aggressor to mortal combat. Tuen the offender knew that he was lable to meet the person whom he bad wronged m a combat reguiated by a code which secured fair dealing, But as the world ad- vanced duelling gradually fell into disfavor, and now is prouibited generally, The sending of challenge even 13 @ legal offence, The execution of the wc talionis in dueis 18 BOW incompatible with the lec juaiciaus, and tie only form of retributive justice leit to the aggrieved person ts eher the proper iegal resource, or that Darbarvus form of lex talionis, aagasaination. ‘Tus lauer method has not equently been re- sorted to oF late years 1n casea Where marital righis have been infringed upon and tie paudiic jourduls Lave spread the news over the whote couatry.

Now, the question arises, “What are we tending toy’ That tue process of aemoralizauion has begun among us 1# ab unquestionable fact, und i¢ is not only to be regretted that assussination has so tre- quently occurred to shock the pubiic mind, but there iy sul greater cause for apprehension ansing out of the fact tuat, with the public announcement o1 as- sassination, any excuse should be offered for aa ofence WHich 13 mauifestly contrary wo established law. ‘dhe public mind is now agitated again by the ques- tion Wuether an aggrieved husbaud may kill ove who either has actually robbea him of his wife or {8 supposed to have cominitted suc a griey- ous offence.
