We had space in our last for buta brief noâ€" tice of this lecture of which the following is & condensed report : The ‘hon. gentléman menâ€" tioned at the opening that the objéct ‘of the lecture was to aid in the erection of ‘a parsonâ€" age in connection with the M Ife Street Wesleyan Church.. He went on say he had made sever;.| trips up the Rhine, but, for the xake of brevity, would throw his recollecâ€" tions . together as if they were thdee of but one trip. _ Embarking on the steamship Ariel, at New York, he crossed the Atlantic in af:;nnighti having had. a very pleasant trip, and reach Cowes, Isle of Wight, imsafeâ€" ty" â€" Hours might be easily spent in describâ€" ing the exquisite ‘beauty of the South c »ist of England, and the part of the Isle Jot Wigh‘, washed by the Solent channel, but| he would only mention a beautiful arch of t muighs and flowers for a Sunday School festival, iyyâ€"clad houses, ancient castles, the Queen‘k ‘home at Qslnxne,t';llml‘th‘e churchyard in w li(:ll‘l is lthc grave of the ‘Dairyman‘s Daughter? The lecâ€" turer next cng:? the ¢:hnnne“l8 and} landed at Havre, a quaint, old city very like Quebec, for in‘speech, appearance and manner ormandy. differs little from Lower Canada. We burried on in the afternoon to Rouen, and found the city so mtzrecdn&:hu we rested thiere two or three days. â€" In the evening we werke astonishâ€" ed by what we found to be & uni A custom in France and Germany : all the people apend every leisuré moment. in the stredt, sitting, walking, knitting, singing, drinking coffee and smoking; and we saw there a grouprof Alger ines in their full native costume, slwly movâ€" ing to and fro, gazing in wonder &t all the sights. ~ Next day we visited the Pathedral, one of the most perfect specimens fof art in Europe, and the beauuful chwith â€"f 8t Ouen, celebrated for containing the tomb of Ccoeurâ€"deâ€"Lion ; the flower market where plants which lhere are only to be found in the greenâ€" howse are flourishing in full blodgm in the open air. The city is finely sitifited, ind from a church on & hill: above; spiflnlid prospect is obtained. . The church itself is well worth a visit for its internal béauty. We saw fispo! where Joan of Are was murdered and l&id on her statue a wreath of infmortelle . We next went to Paris, where we gpent a furtâ€" night; and when I saw this dear, delightful Paris, ‘the ‘Ancient ) City, â€" the.] fwonderful churches, the relics of the past, magniti cence of the present, the treasure$ 61 art, and the beauties of nature, I did not wogder at the natives‘ love for La Belle Fran We en joyed some of the prmcl;l-.l sights,} the Boi: de Boulogne, the Hotel des Invlides, the Louvre.and the Tuilleries, the embcury Palace, etc. .

The architectâ€" crossed himself, and said Lord forbid. He went how: ever and told the priests ; they ordered him to wceiube terms,get the plans and fix a day to ive himself over, and they guaranteed to save Eim. Hewent back to the pi-ce, met the gentlc= man, and struck the bargain. The plans, specifications, and #0 forth, were immediateâ€" ly handed over, and the happy man flew to the priests, having ‘first promiged, to come back at midnight and yield himself the elave of the stranger. The priest gave him & phial of holy water, and told hini, ‘a« he extended his hand toward the stranger, to «ayâ€""In the name of the Fatwer, So®, and Hory Sririt," and break the bottle over the stran nsb reuacs Aioase»*vemmnscts t ‘rieir ies P t k Fovid O VÂ¥A ger‘s fuce. â€" The architect did so, and the‘inâ€" stant the holy water touched him, sulphurâ€" eous emoke arose, like a dissolvent dior The gentleman changed into a hideous « ~â€""! and with hissing noise and infornal groan, he saidâ€"* You have sold me, but the cathedral shall never be built, and your name shall néver be known;" and with" an effervescence of tire he fizzelled into thin air ; but the most singular and tree part of the tale is thisâ€"no wan knows the name of the architect that built the Cologne Cathedral, and it is:not finished, and I think never will. The Cathedrals of Europe, like the round towers of Ireland, had their origin in a peculiar religion. Separate theim from that religion, and they become mere monunients of art, The leading idea of Grecian architecture is proportion, and the beauty which arises out of proportion. ‘It is beautiful, therefore, independent of ornament. The idea of the, ornaments, therefore, which have been added is grace ; but proportion and grace aré immortal. â€" Therefore, the elements of the Greek architecture are designed to be perpetuated. . It is the architecture of a frée, enlightened and protected people. Jt is, it self, a symbol of intellectual developmentâ€"of hunian progress. â€" The leading idea of Gothic architecture is wolidity and strength. . Jt is the architecture for fortification aud defence upon rocky and irregular height«, with an gles .accommodated to the matureâ€"of the ground, and with buttresses, towers and par apbts for a stern resistance, â€" A fair space i= required for the rectangular eymmetrical Gre cian structure. As we shalllgo up the ca~ tellated Rhine, we shall see that there is on every rocky point a tempting epot for Gothic forts and castiés. â€" But surely Canada‘s peace ful plummnamwmetheq re lics of darkness, a Gothic building, so kingly, proud, sternâ€"a symbol of power and dominâ€" ation. _ It ‘speaks of knightly «obbere, and a plunderei and subjugated peasantry, und hence I have been to the style of our â€"beautifulâ€"Provincial University at Toronâ€" to, and of our mlfnificem blic buildings in Ottawa. _ And,still more aopu the Iit(l:‘:ml- trede;“ Thapels we * see ri in Canada, without sufficient light to representing the absolutism of sl‘put ) ood, and a party now who would go batk to that style â€"whichâ€"is the style of noâ€"frepdom in Church or State, and though speaking.of wonderful art, not of intellectual powep,â€"â€"showing the dark period of the middle sâ€"the colored Iifihu and stained. windows, piving that dim religious light that suits old uxs and mwnâ€" t.iluu.rinu exhibitions, but inly not that which is necessary for publid offices, nor the schoolâ€"rooms of kcholars whoare expected to complete their education in two or three years. In o'ct choir behind the cellar, you wre shown the shrine of the gh Kings ; their 'skull:d’e ornamented â€" with| golden crowns. The shrine is open on 8 ys and great holidays, but on other ‘days| the fee is two dollars, and as many as 40 visit it in a year. I also visited the ch ol 8t. Ursula, an which kept the of the 11,000 virgins. |The lecturer now sketched the trip up the Rhine to Bonn,â€"cele chiéfly for its university in which the Prince Corâ€" sort was educated; It was ished in 1818, \ and settled the question as age was necessary to n&eagood great university .
