After a pianoforte duet had been admirably played by mrs. W. Mckail and or. It. Robinson the chairman. Or. W. G. Knight introduced the lecture to the audience. Or. Brown said he was aware that Many objected to phrenology and looked upon its votaries As impostors but whatever might be said against phrenology even its opponents Felt themselves qualified to sum up personal character. We took likes and dislikes instinctively we were drawn to people or we repelled them without exactly knowing Why. He hoped to show that what we seemed to do intuitively was really the result of observation made almost unconsciously and that our experience might be. Gathered and arranged As other facts had been reduced to a science. He was Only a Phreno Logist in so far As phrenology helped him in the study of character. Ite believed a Man s character would be read toy the student of human nature just As readily As the physician could diagnose. A complaint. As the Tongue pulse and size of the Chest Una singly guided the physician so the face heat of the skin texture of the hair and measurement of the head enabled the Phreno Logist to read charac ters. After showing Diat the brain. Was divided into sections and How these Section were subdivided by phrenology its the lecturer said that the True student of character must not confine Minisei Frt Reading the bumps. The face must be read As All the great divisions of tie brain have facial poles the Eye is a great Index. Through it you Louk in to the Man within. Your dog watches to know if he May jump no and lick your hand or whether he had better Crouch at your feet. We ". Don t like the Man Towt ctn t look us in the face. The nose indicates character.

This part of the lecture was Given very felicitous by and or. Brown elicited frequent applause by his delineations and imitations lose okie s entire kit but when in the opinion at any i ate of the indignant easily have been saved the loss double sting which Tivin Ulory personal imprisonment for a Day on Board the wreck does not do much to soften. Prom the telegrams serious differences of opinion exist Between the Captain and the passengers of the Indus As to the management of the wreck. What occurred before she went aground will of course be judicially sifted before the regular authorities but the subsequent proceedings Are fair subject of comment. The Captain of a p. & o. Vessel is of course justified in doing the Best he can for his employers and when his ship meets with disaster he naturally takes every precaution to prevent loss of life. The safety of the p. & o. Line is so to speak their Strong card. Vessels they May have lost officers and members of the Crew May from time to time perish in performance of their duties but so Long As they can Point to an almost Una Oken record of Security to life and limb As far As the passengers Are concerned their pre Eminence As a " Safe " line remains unimpaired. We can easily understand therefore that the Captain of the Indus preferred to keep the passengers on Board to running the risk of a boat capsizing in the surf in spite of colonel Atkinson s assertion that there was no difficulty whatever in Landing. Pleasant it could not have been to spend the Long hours of a november night in a ship " bumping heavily " on the ground As each Long Monsoon roller swept against her bows. Still less pleasant must it have been to be assured As All were from the outset that nothing could prevent her from becoming a total wreck. But provided that the capt. Was convinced that in keeping the passengers on Board be adopted the safer course he was right in doing so. With the Luggage we think it was otherwise. To keep it All piled on deck for a Day or More within easy reach of Shore and finally to leave it to become the perquisite of shrimps and mermaids seems a lamentable error of judgment. The life of a portmanteau is not such a sacred thing that it cannot be entrusted to a sur boat for fear of the effect its loss might have upon the prestige of the p. & o. As far As the company was concerned the portmanteau is Only a few pounds More or less of baggage among hundreds of thousands annually shipped. To the passenger it May be an old travelling companion with its shabby buggy sides stiffed full of souvenirs of his Best years of life with presents for the old Folk at Home and treasured relics of sojourn in strange lands. To leave such huddled with others helplessly on the wreck of the doomed vessel knowing that with a Little risk and difficulty with none at All according to the protest passengers it might have been safely housed on Shore must have been a trial for the owner and As far As our information at present goes an apparently unnecessary one. The Grebill memoirs the Queen and the court. Tho following extracts Are from the second instalment of the Grelle memoirs. Which have just been issued under the Editorship of or. Henry Jineve the a week and Pobi Kab albeit at ho3hein september 1840, or. Greville was summoned to Balmoral where a Council was to be held to order a prayer for Relief from the cholera. Here is his account of the Queen and Prince Albert at Home. It was before the present Castle of Balmoral a is built they live there without any state whatever they live not merely like private gentle folks but very Small gentle folks Small House Small rooms Small establishment. There Are no soldiers and the old guard of the Sovereign and the whole Hoyal family is a single policeman who walks about the grounds to keep off impertinent intruders or improper characters. Their attendants consisted of lady Douro and miss a w son lady and maid of Honor George Anson and Gordon Birch the Prince of Wales Tutor and miss Hildyard the governess of the children. They live with the greatest simplicity and ease. The Prince shoots every morning returns to luncheon and then they walk Aud drive. The Queen is running in and out of the House All Day Long and often get about alone walks into the cottages and site Down and chats with the old women. I never before was. In society. With the Prince or had any conversation with him. On thursday morning John Bussell and i were sitting together after breakfast when he came in Aud sat Down with us. I saw at once what i had always heard that he is very intelligent Aud highly cultivated and moreover that he has a thoughtful mind and thinks of subjects Worth thinking about. He seemed very much at his ease very Gay pleasant and without the least stiffness or air of dignity. After luncheon we went to the Highland gathering at Braemar the Queen the Prince four children and two ladies in one Pony Carriage John Bussell or. Birch to miss Hildyard and i in another Anson and Gordon on the Box one Groom to More. The gathering was at the old Castle of Braemar and a pretty enough sight. We returned As we came and then everybody strolled about till dinner. We were Only nine people and it was All very easy and really agreeable the Queen in very Good humor and talkative the Prince Stillmore so and talking very Well no form and everybody seemed at the Queen s in patience this is Greville s account of the Queen s first voyage on Board her yacht Adolphus Fitz Clarence told me nothing could be More agreeable and amiable than she was and the Prince too on Board the yacht conversing All the time with perfect ease and Good humor and on All subjects taking great interest in and very curious about everything in the ship dining on deck in the midst of the sailors making them dance talking to the Boatswain and in Short doing everything that was popular and ingratiating. Her chief fault in Little things and in great seems to be impatience in sea phrase she always wants to go ahead she can t Bear contradiction nor to be thwarted. She was put out because she could nut get quicker to the end of her voyage and land As soon As she the King of the belgians and the times 1847 the following is As Greville says a characteristic instance of the " Power of the press yesterday lie Marchant told me an anecdote illustrative of the Power of the press. He called late one night Many years ago on Barnes at his House and while there another visitor arrive whom he did not see but who waa Sho in into another room. Barnes went to him and after a Quarter of an hour returned when be Marchant said shall i Tell you who your visitor is ? Barnes said yes if he knew. Well then i know his step and his voice it is lord Durham Barnes owned it was when be Marchant said what does he come for Barnes said he came on behalf of King Leopold who had been much annoyed by some article in the times to entreat that they would put in one of a contrary and Healing description. Asle Marchant said Here was the proudest Man in England come to solicit the editor of a newspaper for a crowned head i the emperor of Russia in London. Here is a Short account of a visit paid by the emperor of Russia to England in 1844 he flighted at the Palace embraced the Queen and after his interview went to establish himself at Brunnow s. He immediately visited All the Royal family and the Duke of Wellington. The 3 Uke attired himself in the costume of a russian Field marshal to receive the emperor. On wednesday they gave him a review which went off very badly owing to mistakes and bad arrangement but with which he expressed himself very Well satisfied. The sight was pretty glorious weather 3000 or 4000 guards horse foot and artillery in the Park the Queen in caliche with a lir Alhaji suite. It was striking when the Duke went and put himself at the head of a regiment marched passed and saluted the Queen and Ein Perot. The air resounded with acclamations As the. Old Warrior passed and the emperor Rode up to him and Shook him by the hand. There was a Blunder about the artillery. The Queen cannot e Dure firing and the Duke had bordered that the guns should not be fired till she left the ground. By some mistake contrary orders were Given and they advanced and fired not far from her majesty. The Duke was furious and would not be pacified though emperor Queen and Prince did their Best to appease him. He blew up and swore lustily and ordered the Unckless artillery into the rear. It was a mighty Small concern for the emperor who review 100,000 men and sees 15,000 mount guard every Day. But he expressed his satisfaction and when the Queen said her troops were few in number he told her that she must consider his troops at her disposal exactly the same As her own. the death of Talleyrand with whom during his embassy in England Greville lived As he says a Good Deal dining there Enfa Mille whenever he chose the following appears with much More he was looked upon universally a a sink of moral and political profligacy. Born at the end of Louis Xiv s reign and. Bred up in the social pleasures and corruptions of that polite but vicious aristocracy he was distinguished in his Early youth for i successful Gallan tries for the., influence he obtained Over women and Tho dexterity with which he converted it to his advancement. A debauched abbe and Bishop one of the champions and thou one of the victim of the revolution afterwards having scrambled through Tho perilous period of terrorism discarding his clerical character he became the prime minister of the consulate and Tho Empire Aud was looked upon All Over Europe As a Man of consummate ability but totally destitute of principle in Public or in Pri vate or. Greville s first railway journey. Wry Early in the Book the author gives us his first railway journey i resolved to vary the Scenie inn run Down Here to Railroad list Root a. And Liverpool races. So i started at five o clock on sunday evening got to Birmingham at half past five on monday morning and got upon the Railroad at half past seven. Nothing can be More comfortable than the vehicle in Lii he i was put a Sorf of Chariot with two places and there is nothing disagreeable about it but the occasional whiffs of stinking air which it is impossible to exclude together. The first sensation is a feeling of nervousness and a feeling of being run away with Buta sense Security soon Supervene and the velocity is delightful. Town after town one Park and chateau after Are left behind with the rapid variety of a moving Panorama and the continual Bustle and animation of the changes and stoppages make the journey very entertaining. The train was very Long and Heads were continually popping out of the several carriages attracted by Well known voices and then come be greetings and exclamations of suprise the w Here Are you going ? and How on Earth came you Here ? considering the Novelty of its establishment there is very Little embarrassment and it certainly renders All other travelling irksome and tedious by comparison 4 1.

There my son take your copy and if it gives you half the satisfaction of putting our Day dreams into Type that we experienced while dreaming you will be a Happy Demon. E Valine. The pernicious effects of too much indulgence to children Are in general obvious to All but the Over fond Parent. The neglect of a Little salutary discipline during the period of youth proves indeed very frequently the Bane of happiness throughout every afer stage of life. It is however an evil which proceeds not from corrupt dispositions but is rather what might be called an amiable weakness. Yet it ought to be carefully guarded against even for the Sake of the objects so dearly beloved. We Seldom fail to find a child losing the regard of everyone else just in proportion As he receives improper indulgence from his parents. He of course becomes untoward haughty and petulant and is in danger of growing up like Esau with a hand raised against every one Aud every one s hand upraised against him. Accustomed to the gratification of All his desires he can ill Brook control or disappointment and is Apt to become impetuous upon t vory occasion of restraint and provocation Wither real or imaginary. The jaw Ting influences of these intemperate Early habits too often Mars the happiness of social connections. From them proceeds the turbulent and overbearing husband and the self willed and us Dutiful wife. It is therefore the duty of the guardians of 3 Outh As they love them and prize their future Prosperity to guard against this fatal error. They ought also to watch Over and study the different dispositions of their minds and to endeavour accordingly to arrange their Mode of individual treatment. Evaline was the Only daughter of respectable parents. Engagements in an extensive business kept her father much at Home and her Mother was of a weakly and delicate Constitution. Evaline was their Al and their affection for her knew no Bounds. She was therefore brought up with every indulgence which this excess of fondness could draw Forth. She Early contracted an intimate Friendship with Agnes the daughter of a widow lady who had been left with a numerous family and lived in the immediate neighbourhood. Asnes was educated with ideas very different from those of her Young Friend having been of necessity and from principle taught the profitable lesson of Industry and frugal Economy and to consider health and intellectual Powers As Given for higher purposes than the amusement of the possessor. The miss pending of time and the misapplication of these precious endowments was impressed upon her mind As being a source of never failing unhappiness and calamity to. The infatuated abusers of such inestimable blessings. As she had Learned from experience that useful employment constitutes pleasure and is pregnant with advantage it prevented time from appearing tedious and ennui was Only known to her by name. The two friends were nearly of an age and happened to be married about the same time. Agnes was United to a deserving Man whose disposition exactly coincided with her own. They had not wealth but enjoyed competency and were contented and Happy. Evaline became the wife of a worthy Man possessed of an ample Fortune. He was enamoured of her Beauty which in a great measure blinded him to her foibles although these were but too obvious to others. Her conduct after marriage however proved so glaring that his eyes though reluctantly were at last opened. Dress equipage and visiting engrossed All her thoughts and attention. Her disappointed husband fondly cherished the expectation that time and reflection might bring round a Reform but in this he found himself greatly mistaken in due time she brought him a son. He now hoped that the career of Folly would be at an end and that her attention would naturally be turned to an object so interesting but no change in the lady s Condret took place. She soon informed him that a nurse must be provided for the child because she would undergo neither the fatigue nor the confinement which the discharge of that duty required. He ventured to postulate but was upbraided by an unfeeling disregard of her happiness. She next became the Parent of a Lovely daughter without being diverted from her injurious propensities by a concern for her tender charge. Matters daily grew worse and although she saw her husband unhappy she did not wish to consider herself the cause. As she could not endure the want of company she became less select in her Choice and More extravagant in her follies until the Tongue of censure at length began to exaggerate them into enormous crimes. She afterwards received the of lowing letter it Dea Evaline for such you still Are m despite of your errors and my sufferings i do not yet consider Yon wicked although i much fear you Are on the High Way to ruin and infamy. As i therefore feel myself unequal to the task of combating the evil effects of your Early habits i have now resolved to restore Yon to the charge of those under whose auspices they were formed f shall give you these three reasons by which i have been influenced in forming this Resolution. The first is that your ruin May not be accomplished while under my Protection the second a dread of the evil consequences your Giddy example May have upon our Little ones and the third a desire of Mutual peace. Ala. Bow soon have my High formed Hopes of conjugal Felicity passed away like a morning Cloud and left me forlorn and wretched my House is become a scene of riot and the beloved of my bosom cannot spare an hour s attention to a fond husband and helpless children. " i shall however satisfy you that my motives in forming the connection have been everything but mercenary. You shall carry Back the full sum i received As your dowry and As you set a much higher value upon it than i do to this shall be added another not unworthy your acceptance. Although your i Providence and profusion might soon have put it out of my Power i have still enough for my own wants and wherewith to educate my children in the Way i approve. With these wrecks of my blasted prospects i shall retire to some peaceful seclusion where by devoting my whole attention to the formation of their Youthful minds i will Endeavor to guard them against those habits by the effects of which i am now overwhelmed with distress. The plan of your departure i expect will be arranged before my return and May you Ever be happier than is your sorrowful but affectionate " Evaline was thunderstruck. She had no idea of matters being brought to such a crisis. While she could not repress a sensation of conscious shame she at the same time knew not How to act As it would be Bohumilia Ting to make the matter known to any of her fashionable acquaintances. One now thought of Agnes who since her marriage had been by her forgotten and neglected. She instantly set out to Call upon her Early Friend Aud found her busily engaged in the management of her family with a Lovely child in her arms and another at her Knet. Agnes received her with unaffected kindness and after repeated efforts Learned from her the object of her visit and was permitted to read the letter. This being done she remained silent until her Friend having urged her mind freely begged her counsel and advice. My dear Evaline said Agnes hesitating " then i must say i think you Are to be blamed very much to be " Well then replied Evaline in faltering accents allowing that to be the Case what would you advise me to do just answered Agnes the Only thing you can do to reestablish yourself in the regard of your husband and in the esteem of the world and to secure your own happiness and Honor you ought to receive your husband on his return with every Mark of penitence and submission. You ought to make a thousand concessions though he do not require them. But Yon must first resolve firmly within yourself that your future life shall be devoted to make atonement to him for the errors of the " but do you think replied Evaline with tears streaming from. Her eyes " that he can receive me with forgiveness or love me As formerly a " yes said Agnes i think he will. His affection seems to be still within your reach but one step farther might put it for Ever ont of your Power. Do but read that letter dispassionately and see what an affectionate husband you have rendered Evaline was silent and appeared much humbled. She took an affectionate leave of Agnes and returned Home secluded herself to Ponder Over the past and to prepare her mind for future conduct. I upon a serious retrospection she Felt extremely dissatisfied. The longer she considered her own imprudence an increasing respect for her husband gradually arose in her mind and she now anxiously longed for an Opportunity of making those concessions to which she at first Felt so much reluctance. Her husband returned and before the repentant Evaline had completed an acknowledgement of her errors she was enclosed in an embrace of forgiveness and love. She has now become As remark Asp for conjugal affection solicitude and every social virture As she had formerly been for levity and extravagance. Agnes is her confident and counsellor. One is a tender Mother and a Dutiful wife. " her husband is known in the Gates her children arise up and Call her blessed her husband also and he Pra Seth and in the words of the elegant Thomson. " they flourish n6w in in Nina mess and Roar a numerous offspring Lovely like themselves j and goo the Grace of All the country round " Christmas yarns. Phew How awfully hot it is.

Well to fellow recollect old a a he has a very Jolly place on these Beautiful Hiilis and is As hospitable and kind to his old friends As Ever and after i had been to see him he suggested that As he had a Holiday himself of a few Days at Christmas we should go for a shooting trip or technically a Shikar expedition among the 1 Sambar Well it was a grand morning As we left Booty about six o clock in the 1 morning and toddled away Over the Fine Wilshire like mourns " towards Nedd Wittum.

After breakfast we went to a planters Bungalow and arranged for his lending some coolies to Hunt the Jungles near for game next morning. This he promised to do and also to get some friends of Bis to come with him As a few More guns and dogs were considered necessary. Well next morning about 8 o clock the Hunting party met at our Camp and a curious sight it was to unaccustomed eyes.
