I delivered a lecture in Lincoln, England, which city he has for a number of years represented in Parliament, on the early history of Eastern nations. He gave an outline of the history of the Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian, Egyptian Greek, and Jewish nations, and closed with the following powerful and dramatic descrip tion of the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus “Six years after the birth of onr Lord, Jn dea and Samaria became a Roman province, under subordinate governors, the most famous of whom was Pontius Pilate. These gover nors became so oppressive that the Jews broke out into rebellion; and seventy years after m..:., t , j- n_ n , m terror, as arc to be found in the history of this siege. The city itself was rent by factions at the deadliest war with each other—all the elements of civil hatred had broke loose—the streets were slippery with the blood of citi zens—brother slew brother—the granaries were set on fire—famine wasted those whom the sword did not slay. In the midst of these civil massacres, the Roman armies appeared before the walls of Jerusalem. Then, for a short time, the rival factions united against the common foe; they were again the gallant countrymen of David and Joshua—they sal lied forth, and scattered the eagles of Rome. But this triumph was brief; the ferocity of the ill-fated Jews soon again wasted itself < each other. And Titus marched on—encamp ed his armies close by the walls—and from the heighths the Roman general gazed with awe on the strength and splendor of the city of Je hovah. Let us here pause—and take, ourselves, a mournful glance at Jerusalem, as it then was. The city was fortified by a triple wall, save on one side, where it was protected by deep and impassable ravines. These walls, of the most solid masonry, were guarded by strong towers; opposite to the loftiest of these towers, Titus had encamped. From the height of that tower the sentinels might have been seen stretched below the whole of that fair territory of Judea abont to pass from the countrymen of David. Within these walls was tlic palnco of tlio kings —its roof of cedar, its doors of the rarest mar bles, its chambers filled with the costliest tapes tries, and vessels of gold and silver. Groves and gardens gleaming with fountains, adorned with statues of bronze, divided the courts of the palace itself. But high above all, upon A Ontl to a Muskccter.

It would be hard to match the following for truthfulness to Irish character, and to the unfor tunate experience of some who have had Irish help. We are indebted for it to an eastern correspondent Patrick had been recently hired to do the chores, but I was not altogether sure of his be ing able to do all he promised. He boasted so loudly of his universal knowledge of out of door work, that I doubted of his knowing much of anything. I said to him one day; “Patrick, do you think I could trust you to give the black filly a warm mash this even ing ?” Pat started for a minute or two without re plying, and I repeated the question, when he broke silence and said : Is it a mash, sir V Shure and I’d like to be plaziu’ yer honor any way that’s no lie.” As he spoke, however, I fancied that I saw slrange 6ort of puzzled expression flit across his face.

Traits ters of the city in wide-spreading conflagra tions, and the efforts of the night-watch to stein these out-bursts of fire, and with few the appliances, and little perhaps of the dis ciplinc of our modern police, were but imper fectly effectual. But the greatest of all the fires which desolated Borne was that which broke out on the 10th of July, in the year of 817, the tenth of Nero, which began at the eastern end of the Circus, abutting to the val ley between the Palatine and the C.-elian hills. Against the outer walls of this edifice leaned a mass of wooden booths anckstorcs filled with chiefly combustible articles. The wiud from the east drove the flames towards the corner of the Pa'atine. where they forked in two directions, following the draught of the val leys. At neither point were they encounter ed by the massive masonry of halls or temples, till they had gained such head that the mere intensity of the heat crumbled brick nnd stone like paper. The Circus itself was filled from end to end with wooden galleries, along which the fire coursed with a speed which defied all check and pursuit. The flames shot up to the heights adjacent, and swept the basements of many noble structures on the Palatine aud Avcntine. Again they plunged into the low est levels of the city, the dense habitations and narrow winding streets of the Velabruin and Forum Boarium, till stopped by the river and the walls. At the same time another torrent rushed towards the Yelia and the Esquline, and sucked up all the dwellings within its reach, until it was finally arrested by the cliffs beneath the gardens of .Mxcenas. Amidstthe horror and confusion of the scene, tlic smoke, the blaze, the din, and the scorching heat, with half the population, bond and free, cast loose and houseless into the streets, ruffians were seen to thrust blazing brands into the buildings, who afiirmed, when seized by the indignant sufferers, that they were acting with orders; and the crime, whiclr was probably the desperate resource of the slaves aud rob bers, was imputed by fierce suspicions to the Government itself.” As Old Foot City.—A recent American traveler, when in Venice, expressed a curiosity to know how the remarkable palaces of that city were built, and on what foundation they stood. When told that they stood on piles, he desired to see the pile-driver. “There is a model of' it in the Dodge’s Palace somewhere,” replied the guide; “but it has not been used, for we have had no house built in Venice for three hun dred years.” Tm: Fecundity of Flies.—The flies are beginning to become numerous and trouble some. Tlic streets aud the houses will soon be full of them.—The ingenuity of man lias otyct invented agents that can destroy them as fast as they come. Nor is this to be wonder ed, at, when it is known that from a single fly more than two millions of these pests are pro duced in one summer. SIiad-JLife. George Dawson, one of the ableeditors of the Albany N. Y. Journal, is now on a fishing jaunt in northern New York,whence very pleas ant letters record his progress. In bis last, he thus gives a confab among his companions in regard to a theory in the fish line which is somewhat startling, but which seems to be well supported: “Wild’s history and uses of seines, fikes and driftnets, having introduced the subject of shad, we had an animated discussion in regard to the theory that no shad lives through a sec ond season. This theory is a startling one, but I believe it true. Edwards concurred with me, although he admitted that he had never be fore thought of it. The ground of his opinion was experience. He is an old Susquehannah raftsman, nnd tho introduction of the subject reminded him that he Jiad very often noticed the strange antics of shad in June and July on their way to salt water. They would act as if stunned or blind—shooting hither and thither, iu eccentric circles, often upon the surface, and always erratic. He remembered, also, that thin as a Juno shad’ was an old raftsman maxim, going to sustain the theory under de bate, and confirming him in the opini in sug gested, that shad never live to come back into resh water the second time to spawn. ‘But, said Wild, ‘how is it that shad vary so great ly V ‘How greatly I’ Take any hundred shad promiscuously from a-seine, and how much will they vary ? One out of twenty-five may be what you call ‘fat and plump,’ but they will be so nearly alike that upon the theory that they only live a year, a week or a month, might make all the difference.’ ‘You may be right,’ said Wild; the idea is new to me. I know that I have often seen dead shad in the river in July nnd August; and I have taken young shad, not more than three inches in length, as early as the middle of May. When these ‘early birds’ return the next Spring to spawn, they will naturally be larger than those which, at the same time, were scarcely hatch ed. Besides, if shad did return the second, or third, or fourth year, we wight expect to find them as varied in size as bass—ranging from 4 ounces to 30 pounds. But wo never do. There is a uniformity in the size of shad which justifies the theory; and you maybe right.’ And I believe I am right. One, at least, of the most scientific piscators we have (as I notice while writing) thinks so; and I doubt whether any one has ever yet tasted a shad two years old, caught in fresh water. If they succeed in reaching salt water after spawning, they may live to another season. But even this I doubt.” “When was Bomo built?” “In the night, sir.” “In the night!—how do you make that out ?” “Why, sir, you know ‘Rome was not built in ft day.’" J SELLING OFF AT COST.
