Dr. Lord’s Lecture. You do not need to be informed, Messrs. Editors, (for we ware happy to see the corn- plete trio in attendance,) but our fellow citi- zens ought to know what arich treat was provided for them by the distinguished His. tori-an, who gave his introductory Lecture on Friday evening last. The great discoverer of the New World was presented before us in so graphic a delin- eation, that we could almost see him, and fol low him in his twenty years experience of al- ternate hopes and discouragements, and then on his long and exciting voyage oyer waves which no keel before his had ever ploughed. But the Lecture was not merely historical and biographical, but philosophical and patriotic in the best sense; replete with noble senti- ments, expressed in most elegant and eloquent phrase. If the five succeeding Lectures (the second of which is to be given at Phenix Hall, this evening,at 7 3 4 o’clock) shall equal the first, those who are so wise as to avail themselves of the tpportunitthill enjoy a great privi- lege. The whole course is spoken of in the highest terms by some of the best judges in our country. But why is it that so many of our intelli- gent and cultivated ladies and gentlemen- those too who have wealth and leisure, as well as education and taste—are seldom. if ev er: persuaded to attend a scientific orliterary cu- tertainment of so high an order?

There was a very pleasant gathering of the friends of our Union School, on Wed uesduy afternoon last, to listen to declamations, compositions, &c., of two rival societies, in the High School department, the Excelsior and the Philomathean. These societies were formed ashort time ago for the purpose of improving themselves in Speaking,Dobating. Declaiming, ac” and their exhibition on Wed- nesday showed that they had already at- tained a high degree of proficiency in Dec- lamation. Both sides’did battle right nobly, and it was a very difficult problem to solve, as to which side had the victory, the judges finally decided in favor of the Excelsior So- ciety, but we, taking into consideration the extreme youth of those engaged in the strife on the other side, were rather inclined to fa- vor the Phi lomntheun, although in their dec- lamations they did not show quite as good taste in their selections. There was a lack of variety in this respect, which was the case with the compositions on the other side. The singing by the Honorary Members of the Phi- lomatheau Society was a very pleasing fea- ture of the exhibition. The elocution of the pupils was very cred- itable to’ themselves and teachers. «On» South Norwalk Union School. _ The higher Department of this school give an annual exhibition to Commence this Mon- day Evening and repeated Tuesday Evening 3d inst.

One of the most chaste and beautiful litera- ry efforts ever given the citizens of Norwalk, was the lecture ofDn. Lonn, last Friday even- ing. Yet with all the notice given, and the Well known reputation of the Lecturer, scarce- ly fifty persons were present. Had the same notice been given that a monkey was to climb a pole, or a sham negro was to dance and lid- dleiand sing, we doubt whether a vacant scat could have been found. We are sick ofsaolding at these frequent exhibitions of a total want of a refined literary taste on the part of our citi- zens,which has for years been a reproach to our town and people. There are enough who can and would appreciate an effort like that of Du. Lonn’s, if they could only be induced come out.

The Aurora Borealis is not so frequent a visitor as it was ten years ago, but we are occasionally gratified with a good dis- play of this beautiful phenomenon, The one which occurred on Friday night last, (April 29th,) presented one feature of special interest. During the early part of the evening there was much auroral light in the north, and now and. then a cluster of steamers extending up forty or fifty degrees. A few minutes before nine o’clock, in addition to the display in the northern quarter, a belt begun to'form, and in a very thort time spanned the heavens nearly from east to west. It was about five degrees wide, of variable bright- ness gently bent about the meridian, and presented a. Spectacle of great grandeur and beauty. The northern edge was most definite, yet both edges Was snfli. ciently distinct. And the part near the meridi in was so nearly constant in place as to present an excellent object for satis- factory observatiou. At nnrc o’clock, mean time the arch was central on the star delta. of the Lia-n, and so remained for five minutes, and again at 9 h 18 m. it was in the same position.

On his return he published his large and well-known work, “ Democra- cy in America,” which was received with great favor on both sides of the water, and is still regarded as a book of authori- ty. Within two or three years after its publication the author was elected a mem- ber of tire-French Academy and of sev— eral other literary institutions.

Wo——-——- Gnnrrsu’s DEFENCE or SICKLEs.---Tlrere is the ring of genuine steel in the follow- ing remarks of the Boston Courier, on the speech of Mr. JohnGruham in de- fence of the murder of Key by Daniel E. Sicklés : “ We must protest in the name of the women of America against the insulting estimate put upon .emule chastity and strength of virtue bytlrc argument of Mr Graham. He commenced by telling the jury that had Key not been slain, their own wives and daughters would not have been safe; that they might be marked for seduction ; and that they would have been called upon to ” satisfy the insane appetite of the deceased.” He then told the twelve intelligent men before him that if an action for damages was to be the only redress against the adultcrer, their wives lived in a very per-lions atmosphere and they might as well let the infamy come at once ; be next stated th t wo- man was the weaker vessel, that her name was frailty, and that the strong arm of the husband was needed to restrain her within the paths of rcctitude ; and so on, through his entire address, he was con stanlly implying that the general charac- ter of Woman was such that a libertine had only to beckon her and she would follow him with eager wantonuess to her own destruction. It is impossible for us to know from whom Mr. Graham has gained his ideas of female virtue; but either his associations have been most un- fortunate or else his own nature is deplo- rably incapable of appreciating the character of woman, There is no fortress so impregnublc as the citadel of a virtuous woman’s heart ; there is a power in the silent influence of female chastity to make a strong man qunil and become as an in- fant. Are we to be told that the only protection we have against the adulterer in heart is the fear he has of the husband’s avenging arm .7 That our wives and sis- ters have no safeguard in the purity of their own souls, but that if our hysical protection is removed they wil fall at once into the palpable smile! The re- marks of counsel referred to are insulting to the dignity of every virtuous woman in the lead.

It is with pleasure, sir, that I enter up- on tlrcsc details with your Excellency, since you may have credence to the cal— umnious surmises respecting me which have appeared in some of the public jour- nals. Holding you, sir, us I do, in high estimation, as the ruler of a free people, I am happy that you should knew that, with the name I bear it is not possible for me to depa rt for an instant from the path pointed out to file by my conscience my honor and my duty.

When Mr. Buchanan was minister in London, her husband, Mr. Sickles, was Secretary of Legatlon. He was accompanied by his wife, a child in years, and still more a child in appear- ance.
