Concert on To«Morrow Evening*

to-morrow ovenlng a Concert will bo
given by tlio Monilollsohn Socioty in
tlio City Hall, Till* Society i* eotn-
posed of a number of Ladle* and Gen-
tlemcu, and comprises much musical
talent. It ho* boon organized a
few months and during that time has
doubtless Attained to a proficiency that
will render their performance yory en
tertaining to an audience and ereditablo
to themselves. Tho object too is n
noblo ono—the relief of distress and
want. Tho combined Impulses of a
heavenly virtue and an elevated taste
should Induce overy ono who has benov-
olc.uco in hi* heart and music in hi* soul
to nttend this Concert. Nothing con
tributes moro to refinement and gentil
ity in a community than a highly culti
vated murical taste, and we hope the
citizen* of ltomo and vicinity will not
prove unappreciative of this fact on
to-morrow evening.

Boston, Mass,, March 10, I860.
Mturt. Kill tort .'—Probably no city in
tho world is so noted for its popular
lecture* as Boston. Those lmvo brought
upon h'or thoappollntion of tho “Athens
of America.” “Loeturu” is a word
derived from lectura,and signiflosrnu/t/iy.
Unliko a vast itumbor of our words, ta
ken from othor language*, it has retain
ed its original meaning to this day, es
pecially in Now England, wlioro all lec
ture* nro read from tho mauttscript at
tho desk. 1 rctnemW that Bacon en
titled one of Id* production* “Reading
the Statute of Use*,” which would,
if it had come out at this day, hare
Ikjcu styled a “Lecture on tho Statute
of Uses.” Well, It l* not so matunal to
know whonce, and how came this word ;
still, sinco It 1* in overy l>ody*» mouth,
in this portion of the country, almost
evory evening in the wcok, I will suffer
this much of its history to cumlier the
opening of till* letter.
I.ecttiring has become a most ca*y,
fmdiionuble nml hnnoruhld way of gain
ing distinction, and as tho universe,
time and eternity art tho only limit* to
the field of topic*, ho must ho an igno
re mans who cannot marshall something
attractive. Hilt tlii* is not to say, that
the uudionres here will put up with the
production* of such a fellow. And it is
the melancholy truth that criticism on
slight error* unavoidably tnado in oil-
hand orations, and sermon*, has made
most of the distinguished men throw
upon them the *lmcklesof the pen
and now, they never pretend to appear
in puldio without the words written be
fore them, or previously committing
them to memory. Mr, Everett never
>uturf* a word in such cases without
'fined it a lion and memorizing.
Somotimo ago lie was solicited l>y
some ono of the city associations to de
liver an address before them on a cele
bration day, about two weeks from the
time the invitation was made. Tho
response was: “Why gentlemen, do y
ask me to prepare an appropriate ad
dress in two weeks.”
This elaborate preparation is abso
lutely destructive of that genuine emo
tional eloquence known as the “inspira
tion of tho moment.” i doubt much
if ever one wept or oven shed a tear
under the influence of Mr. Everett’i
Ncntenccs. We arc tran*|»orted with
admiration at the beauty of Ids descrip
tions. Although it may l»o a descrip
lion of the horrors attending tho insur
rection in Sun Domingo, still
tickh'd with his line sentences, not
melted to tears under the spirit of the
scene, lie I* a representative, In re
spect to preparation with the pen, of
the whole elie»s of Lecturers hero. 1
rarely hear original, native, sjiontuncous
eloquence. Such, as may bo found,
though in tho i^ugli, in almost every
country meeting liouso at tho South.-

pursuits, who could with llttlo trouble
to them be of vtut and additional gen
eral usefulness by oponing up and con

.!/}/ Dear Doctor:—I do not know that
jvvr saw Mauley. But I suspect tlmt
i i*n graduate of PiMsfidd Medical
College, Mas*.; or, that he ha* at some
time nttendod lectures there, and per
haps stolen a diploma. I lectured in that
College in 1843 and 1844, and my col
leagues were Dr*. Child.*, Alonzo Clark,
of Now York. McClintock, W. Parker,
(now of Now York,) had occupied tho
chair of Surgeon some years before mo.
If he had graduated there in’43 or '44,
ho ought have my signature to hi* di
ploma, and also Child*’ and McClin
tock’*, hut not Parker’s. It is imposnilU
that Parker's name and mine should be on
the same diploma, as we were never conncetcd
with the tame school at the same. time. Yet, I
think you will And tlmt tlio follow ha*
diploma. The cert ificnlo reads liko
free and easy tran*lutioti of tho usual
form of u Latin diploma.
In my opinion, this Dr. Manley is an
unsafe man, iu any community. Cer
tainly ono who can he guilty of such
dishonesty is capable of almost any
crimo. < >f such men, I suspect, wits
composed tho Virginia raid, only that
I would except Brown. 1 do not think
that Brown would ever lmvo accused
any man of endorsing his charactor or
