At the conclusion of his able remarks he was heartily ap- plauded by the spectators, Mr, R, H. King then commenced to sum up for the people, and aiter an able speech the Court made a brief address to the jury, to whom the case was then given, and alter being out forty minutes they returned into court with a verdict of “Guallty on ail the charges.” Sentence delerred till to- morrow. “WESTMINSTER ABBEY.” Lecture im Association Hall by the Rev. Canon Kingsley, of Westminster Abney—A Crowded Audiegge—1the Sub- ject as Applied to America. A large auaience assembied m Association Hall last evening to hear the Rev. Cnarles Kingsley, Canon of Westminster, deliver his lecture on “Westminster Abbey.” At fifteen minutes to eight o’clock @ 1arge number of persons had already taken their seats in the hail, and from that time until shortly aiter eight o'clock, when the lecture commenced, Qe staircases were blocked with ladies and gentlemen, all crushing slowly up to the landing, ‘earful lest the ball was already {ull and no seats were 10 be had. Ushers moved aoout nimbly inside, seat. ing the new comers as they gained admission, and when the time for the lecturer to appear bad passed quite ap animated scene was witnessed in the eagerendeavor of the Jatest arvivais tu find a seat anywhere ag pest they could, Meanwhile the organ was making pleasant music and was closing @ sprightly selection when Canon Kingsley, preceded by the President of the Mer- cantile Library and the Rev, Dr. Potter, took @ seat in tne centre of the platiorm, .The canon is a scholastic, clerical-looxing gentleman, with ‘the customary English side whiskers and clean shaven face, wearing glasses and having his whiskers Many degrees more silverea than his hair. He wore the usual canonical coat and waistcoat, the latter being ciosely buttoned up to the throat, The Rev. Dr. Potter, on being invited to preside, made a few briel remarks in introducing the rev- erend lecturer. He believed that his office was superfuoas, for he was to introduce a friend to all of them, and nota stranger. Tie name and.jame of Charles Kingsley were known everywhere irom Cape Breton to Calijoraia. How many minds had he not kindled by his writings, and how well he taught all of us, in “Yeast” and “Aiton Locke,” the feelings o! true brotherhood and exalted life. Rev. Mr, Kingsiey then began nis lecture by say- ing that‘reverence tor antiquity had long been, in his judgment, a fair test of vigor of youth. Re- verseiy, insolence by youth toward old age 18 asign Of decay; for the young and vigorous Lave a strong regard jor the aged, and this temper usually ac- companies the wise and independent. The young Tacehorse emulates the sire, the young soidier admires the veleran hero, the poiitician follows the leader, The most origina that succeeded best, were the most teachsbdle, provided they were leit to themselves. Tne Greeks felt great admiration Jor Egypt, the Scandmavians fur Kome, and these Were the most progressive races of Hurope. ‘Those Americans woom he had met in Kngiand, a8 well a8 those lew whom he wet here, sessed this reverence jor antiquity, no macter how much im- pressed with seli-teachiug. This biending of the two was @ high bred nature. He was sur- prised to find that American visitors to Europe, Immediately on their .rrival at Liverpool, would desire to go at once to Chester. Olten ne said to some of them:—At Chester you will see Comparatively nothiog. Wait until you see the British Museum, with ita wonderiul svores of curlosities; wait until you see the French cathe- drals and the ruius of Provence, and the galleries oi Florence, Naples and Rome.”’ fhe reply to this utterance would be that it was not strange they should desire to see Chester, for tiey haa never seen anything tuat mignt be classed among tne antiquities belore, This is senument; but by sentiment well directed and by svrrow well used do the nations live. Wien this dies out then comes decrepitu e, With this experience oi his at Chester he was not surprised to fiud tue same experience repeated at Westminster. He might be reproved for saying’tnat there were greater pleasures than were to be found in the pautueon 01 Westminster; but it would be thus as loug as Westminster bore its 800 years of richness. ‘Ihe American muse knows the nature of sucharcbitecture, tor Ameri- can architects were raising pure medieval aud Byzantine structures, combining the beau- ties of ten centures of development and varieties, Washington Irving, whose pen flowed as smoothiy as Charles Lamb’s, and who was more ,enerous to us than only too oiten we are to American authors, gives a beauti- ful description of the impression the abbey made upon him. It had a sad tone in it, however, 10 which he had no share. Forty seats ago, wien Washington Irving saw it, the abbey was no doubt in & dilapidated condition, and he might well speak ol the dust; but since then the English peopie had been setting about improvements, and to- day one migntenter the aisles or the Cioisters and he was sure ol the sound of the mechanics’ hammer somewhere in restoring and making bright ‘The Loglish people have eit, in common will et Europe. a reverence ior the medieval art, and flow the highest ambition is to copy and imt- tate it, There 1s danger, however, in lollow- Ing too fattbtully, and at we coniess thst we cannot create, as id our _iorelathers, and, therefore, we have to exhaust tne significauon of the old schools, in doing which, in England and in France, we oftea only produce tie ludicrous, Let none talk lightly o1 painted stone or marble bust, for they are not the evidence of vanity. ‘hey speak of content and peace. Those whom they honor have received ‘their nations’ thanks, and often a.ter death more than they received white living. Even Castle- reagh lies here in spite of Shelley and Byron. There too he ougnt to lie; he lived in the wild times of 100 years ago, and he died the most horrible death. There, too, are Pitt and Fox, Warren Hastings and Macaulay. There 1s no strife between any of them now. On the south side of Henry Vil.’s chapel is the efticy 01 Mary Queen ot Scots, looking sadly, about whom all England and Scovland ra,ed against each other. Un the north side lies a sadder igure still— that of Elizabeth—and her tomb les there, oppo- Bite that oi her who would have killea ber, justi as she hersell was killed by the other. Coffin over coffin, they lie in the vault, James I. put these lines over the vault:— Fellows in the Kingdom of the Tomb, Here we sleep, in the hope of the Kesurrection, Elizabeth and Mary, sisters. The lecturer then went on to speak oi the archi. tecture of Westminster Abbey, saying that it was | mot hke that o1 Salisbury or Litchfeld, having nothing o! delicate lightness or airy joyiuiness. He oor it toa torest of stone, carrying out the simile by an eloquent passage, and then going on to say that in London, behlud the murky atnios- Phere of the city, the abbey required a special coloring, and the architects gave it stained glass windows to make it cheerful, with colors ol purple, goid and azure, and with figures Oi the angels and saints of heaven, and with memories oj heroic virtues, all of which in their beautitul ughts aud snades wouid lift up the hearts of men amid @ summer of beauty and of light. The lecturer closed by telling of Wolfe's cenotapn, introducing the connection between the mother country and America. All of those wno had died during the war of the early settlement, savicg the States fought for America as well as for England. He trusted that the ashes of some of the great men o1 this country woud rest in Westminster, for the abbey was as much the property of Americans as ol lishmen, It was not the mausoleum of kings; it was the resting place of great men in every branch of progress, Do matter what was their creed. As Dean Stanley id, that was its greatest boast. The lecturer intermixed in this part of his lecture some fanctiul thoughts about Poet’ Corner. He wanted to bury in the abbey only the genuine Londoners. Chaucer, Spencer and Dryden should not have been buried there. They should have gone to s)ots where their hearts wished in life that their bodies should rest in death. Pope and Gray went Gu to places they had chosen, and so should the others, Rey. Mr. Kingsley will deliver a second lecture ‘under the auspices of the Mercantile a in As- sociation Hall, on Monday evening, and on Wednes- | day evening next in the Academy of Music, Brook- lyn, he will lecture on “The Norsemen in History as Discoverers in Americs.”” WEATHER REPORT.

Tbe bill was ordered to be printed } and recommitted to the committee, Confirmation of Simmons as Collector of the Port of Boston—Democrats Voting in His Favor—Boutwell and Sumner Opposing. The Senate to-day confirmed the nomination of W, A. Simmons to be Collector of the port of Boston, the vote being 30 for and 16 against. Senators Boutwell and Sumner again severally spoke in opposition to the nominee, regarding him as & mere politician, not fitted by education for the nigh and responsible position, and who was not acceptable to the larger number of the intelli- gent merchants of Boston. Senators Conkiing and Carpenter advocated the nomination, speaking in praise of the gentleman and of his business capacity, and were unable to see in the remarks presented any proper reason for rejection. Most 01 the democratic Senators voted for con- firmation on the ground that the record of the nomi- nee was unexceptionable and that there was not asingle charge against him. The opponents of the nomination fought zealously to defeat it, but Senators who would not perhaps move a step to put themseives on the financial record took pains ‘ to be on hand this afternoon when the vote was taken. A crowd of Simmons’ iriends standing in the Senate hallway received the news with cheers, and telegrams were Mashed to Boston announcing the result, To-night the friends of Simmons called on General Butler to exchange congratulations with him. Itis regarded as singnlar that & nomi- nation should be confirmed by the dominant party when, as in this case, the nominee was opposed by both the Senators of the interested State. The opponents of Mr. Simmons have made public the letter of John M. Forbes in behaif of the Boston committee, addressed to the President, dated February 26, in which they assure him that the statement made to him of the nomination having the approval of the majority of the delegation, and which was used to induce him to make the nom- ination, was untrue, They therefore respectfuily, but firmly, urge that the nomination be withdrawn, as having been made not only upon misrepre- sented facts, but as contrary to sound policy and tothe long established usages of the party to which the President undoubtedly supposed he was conforming. They object to the nomination upon the broader grounds that it was irregularly brought about by one man, General. Batler; that it was unfit, impolitic and against the interests of the mercantile community, the great republican party and of the whole country. But they are sure that no man who knows the surprise with which the entire community, whether friendly or otherwise to the can- didate, learned the appointment to the most | important federal office in New England of ® man comparatively inexperienced and with only the local reputation of a political partisan, will for @ moment believe that any tnjary will be done him by the nomination and witharawal taken together. The letter concluaes as follows:—"We once more entreat you not to injure yourself and us by apparently taking sides in our local differ- ences, a8 you will surely appear to do if # nomina. ton made in the irregular manner, to which we have frankly called your attention, shall be con- summated,”” ‘The following telegrams were sent from here to- night :— WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 1874, To Messrs.

Senator Thurman op- posed the appointment of @ commission as an un- constitutional and unwise method whereby legis- lation was to be secured from Cungress,. Senator Ferry, of Connecticut, followed him, avowing bis opposition to the bill and making the startling acknowledgment that a sweeping food of intem- perance was deluging the country, and that he did not wish to acquiesce in the present tendency to increase lederal jurisdiction at the expense of the rights of the States.
