      TRg CAPS OP GOOD BOPS AND WEST KTDISS . —The second West India mail for the month of February has urired , and a paper or two from the Cape of Good Hope . The Cape papers state that the Governor was still conferring and making treaties with the Hottentots ,, and that an vnpmeedeatedly large sale of land had taken place in the colony . Although not without interest , the accounts from the West Indies furnish bo very nlieoi points for remark . A scarcity of money in Jamaica seenn to hare prodactd a Tery gloomy feeliax , which exhibits itoeif in dark forebodings for ibefctare .

      TWWUJA © . —The most interesting portion of the Trinidad papers are some speculations as to the srobable course of emigration from the United States . It is supposed that the outgoing of coloured people from the Uniea most depend Tery greatly on the treatment win ah they experience . Some time tack , Tery strisgest laws were adopted in one or -two of the States , and at that time the emigration of blacks was considerable . Since that time , those XawB hare bees less rigorously enforced ; and the Negroes are more content to bear the accustomed ills of their condition , and to remain . But as soon « s the "freest country in the world" beginB to tighten tb * yeke again , the blacks , it is reckoned , will again be driven oat of its ports . Barb&does ¦ till exhibits a scene of bickering between blacks and

      whites , for all the violent assertions-of the Governor j&d Legislature to the contrary . Ignorance on she part of the Negroes , * nd ignorance , -too , most pro * Daily , on tbe part of the whites , promotes the cause of bad feeling in a very ill-devised form of bargaining for labour : rent is made a kind of set-off against wages ; or the plaster contrives , by playing fast and loose with his tenant , to make the dread « f ejectaeai serve the purpose of the lash , in coercing a reluctant workman . Neither party can give up old habit : the Negro cannot concede his imaginary right to be provided by bis employer with a house ; the planter cannot resolve to trust solely to a plain contract of work and wages between man and maa , but must have some little contrivance to back his influence as the seigneur of bis estate .

      The Fatheb op Edwabd Joses , the boy who h& 3 three limes intruded into Buckingham Palace , has sent a letter to the newspapers , complaining of the treatment which the lad has received . Mr . Jones Bays that his son ' s desire to intrude into the Palace is " an insane idea . " He complains that the boy has been tried by a secret court , Cat the Home Office ) instead of by a Jury ; and that his health has been injured by imprisonment , over-Work , and bad diet . The careless attendants at the Palace , the writer says , who so ill protect its entrances , ought to be punished rather than the boy . Mr . Jones further

      complains that he and his wife were harshly and disrespectfully treated when they attended at the Police Office , and when the feelings of the mother induced her to refuse her consent to her son being » eut to se » . The having been in prison , too , has prevented Edward Jones from procuring employment . A FziiTEl CoixiSicw took pi&ce off Cork harbour , in a den ? 9 fo& , on Friday , between the barque Royal Saxon , with emigrants , bound for Port Philip , and the Abel Scnooner , coal laden , from Swansea to Cork . The emigrant ship escaped unhurt ; the ¦ chooBer sank , but , providentially , all the crew -were saved .

      Majtslacchtsb ^—At Derby Assizes , Henry Hos-Msson was charged -until shooting one Ro&ert Har-Tey , a gamekeeper of the Earl of Chesterfield . The Coroner's Jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against four persons , namely Hoskisson , Eimes , Sialey , and Adey , but the three latter were admitted Queen's evidence . These persons were inhabitants of a large and populous place called Newall , which is in the heart of the coal district of Greasley , Swadlincote , &c , about three miles from Barton , and close adjoining Bretby Park , the

      Beat of the Earl of Chesterfield . On the night of Thursday , the 4 th of February , the fonr persons originally charged , were drinking the allowance of ale given them by their employers at a public-house , and remained so doing till about half-past ten , when ib » y all went away together , one of them baTing been heard to say thai he should like to have a hare . They proceeded to Lord Chesterfield ' s land , for the purpose of poaching , when the alleged murder took place . —Manslaughter . Sentence—Transportation for life .

The Axti-Cokm Law League . —This body has advertised a meeting for the " 31 st instant , as the Grown and Anchor , in the middle of the day , the admission to rrhich is only to be by tickets ! Ob , what an impartial mode of obiainiHg public opinion . But vrlia ; will they say if they are beaten on their own dunghill , and -with real natural spurs , while they , poor fellows , - have furnished themselves with iron heels ? ** There are more things in Heaven and earth , thin are dreamt of in Anti-Corn Law philosophy . " Depend on it , a r ich game is on the tapis .

      Detlobable Case of Dfstitctios . —This morning , as the policemen on duty in the Regent ' s Park , were passing near the Governor ' s Gate of the Zoological Gardens , they discovered a poor woman , with two children , one about two years , and the other between thre ? and four years of age , in the last stage of starvation . Prompt restoratives were immediately administered , and the children have partially recovered , but the mother is still in-danger . She is the widow of a poor agricultural labourer , who , having migrated from Northamptonshire to work on the railways near Xrondoo , died in January lftSt , it&Ting ilBI and the two children utterly destitnte .

      Wax-worth axd Cambebttell Chaster Asso-8 UTO 5 . —This Society continues to bold its weekly meetings at the Rose and Crowu , Walworth Road ; and the cau = e is progressing steadily in ibis quarter of the Metropolitan environs . At the last meeting , on Monday evening , a resolution was passed , approbitory of Mi . O'Connor ' s pl&n . for a . Petition Convention , aid a collection wa 3 made in furtherance of that object . Petitions are getting up in favour of t ^ e liberation of all political victims , and a great number of signatures have al ~ " > dy been obiained . The people declare themselve . jtermined not to relax in tiieir efforts , until they hive obtained the reiease of their persecuted brethren from the fangs of taeir creel tormentors ; and , to prove their " faiib . '' bj " s ; ood works , " they have commenced a subscription for the martyred Clayton , which i s coiEg on very satisfactorily .

      The Petition Committee . —La ? t evening , this Committee assembled at the ' r-weekly meeting rooms , ihe Dispatch Ccffee House , Bride-lane , Fitfet-street . Mr . B-iiLs in the chair . The minutes of the last meeting havi- ^ been confirmed , the secretary , ( Mr . J . w . Parkerj reported the result of an interview between himself and Mr . Cleave , -with T . S . Duncombe , Esq . M . P ., relative to the case of Mr . Carrier , now in the Wiltshire House of Correction . A memor . ' al t-o Lord Nonnanby , in his behalf , wa ? adopted and signed by the Committee . Seventy-fonr petitions were then brought in from various parts of the metropolis , aid two from the iniabi facts of Stockpert , prayinic for the release of Frost ; Williams , and Jone ? : the whole of which were ordered to be

      presented . The Secretary was directed to write to Messrs . Fiel-ien and Wakley , requesting them to inform the Gammutee whether they have presented the petitions committed to their care , in order that ( should such be the case ) more m&y be placed in their Lands for presentation . The Committee , up to the present time , ( during the Ehort space of three Weeks . ) have dot upwards of 200 pevrtrons for the Charter , Fros : , Wiiiiacis , and Jones , Peddle , O'Connor , and toe re ;« of the political victims . The Committee have been materially assisted in their labours , by the willingness of Messrs . Hume and Buncombe , to present their petitions . In the course of the e > eniiig , Mr . Parker read the following highly-interestins letter from the victim Carrier : —

      " Gaol , Dcrizea , Mardi 12 , 1 S 4 L ; * DEAR Sl £ , —Sine * I have been in the cheerless gloom of thi * pla . ee , it has seldom been my lot to txperience so ranch pleasure as I have derived from the perusal of your tetter . It was put into my hand just when I had concluded tkat I was most certainly forf otten by all ; bat I found in that unequivocal proof that my conclusion was erroneeos . " 1 beg yon Trill accept for yourself , and convey to My unknown friends , my warmest thanks for the Mndaesi which they have manifested towards me , by Cording assistance when it was sd much needed . Yoa win , perhaps , i-otroiace me to some of them another day , when 1 ah&ll have an opportunity of expressing Xdj aetaowled ^ ementg to them in person . " I often think of your little astemblies ; but , though I am not at liberty to ay what I think , no one can prevent me from believing that right

      " By holdinf on , will gather cnew , nil It move * that giant , ml ^ hf " Bat of th * se tiring * I mut be , tX present , silent . Ton have Tery kindly offered to forward a petition from » e to tie Hone of Commons ; bat as I know ^ r » fchfri » g erf your present movement * , 1 might , possibly ommit aa error , and spoil the work which others may fca-re done . I think , therefore , that unless I could hare pportusitie * vt knowing what others hsve been and attll are doing , in ay behalf , it will be best for me to

      Assist . Meanwhile , I should be under additional obligations to you or any of my London friends for taking £ Mh steps as may appear best calculated to obtain my f ^ iyypmpn ^ or an extension of indulgences . I would , kewtiver , be understood to mean sueb sieps OMS as mrt h < # ewxiV . e ; for ( and I speak calmly and -de-Kberatelyj , ra'aer than obtain my libert ? by any professions of sorrow for doing that which I sincerely believed to be my duty . to . do , or by anything "which couM pcsnbly be construed even into the appearance of a promise -which would prevent me from

      doing in future what I may believe «> he right , I would endure all my imprisonment , with , all its Eevere hardships , over and over again . But to show that this declaration does not proceed from stubbornness or temerity , I am ready most ireely to make any acknowledgment which the c * 5 e cay reqmire , wherever I may have committed an orror : my conduct has hitherto been marked with openness and candour , and I shall endeavour to main ' oin it , cost what it may . If , then , under these ratrietiwu , anything can be done f » r me , all lean say is , It will be duly appreciated .

      •• The particulars of my ease which you ask for , are : — First , I am in prison , and I wish to get oat Secondly , my food consists of bread , potatoes , and water-gruel , which is not sufficiently nutritions to preserve the constitation in a healthy state for the space of two years , especially hi a prison where all is gloom , and doll mon » tony , and solitude , unchecked by social intercourse ; -which act most powerfully mgon the body by depressing the spirits and enervating the mind . It is sufficiently' obvious , therefore , that I want better food . I also wish to be allowed pens , ink , and paper , and newspapers ; and that my correspondence be unrestricted , that I may have it in my power to repel the attacks that I have been informed have been made upon me , with the -view of preventing my friends from interesting themselves in my behalf .

      " I ought , perhaps , to tell yoa , thai I addressed a memorial to Lord Norm&nby , on the 27 th of January , in which I requested the above indulgences , and also that my friends be allowed to visit me in my cell at all seasonable hours , with some others , which I do not at present remember . First of til , however , I uked for the tummum bonum , liberty ; bnt it appears that all the Noble Marquis could feel himself justified in adtising her Majesty to grant was , the remission of that part of my sentence which subjected me to hard labour ; and this was carried into effect on the 13 th of February . " You will excuse the length of this , I hope ; it is so seldom I write ( or , I should add , apeak , for I am on the silent system too , ) that I scarcely know when to le&ve oft

      " Yon will be food enough to send the money here to me ; I would advise yon to send it by post-office order , for one letttr from me has been lost , and how many to me I cannot know . I can only say , I did not receive one for nearly five months till this week . " Believe me , dear Sir , " Yours , truly , and wry mneh obliged , " William Cabjueb . " " Mr . J . W . Parker , London . " Since the reseipt of th « above , the City of London Charter Association have sent Mr . Carrier 15 s ., and Mr . Cleave sent him 5 s ., in addition to 5 a . -worth of Charter Aim an acts , placed , in the hands of the Committee , to be sold for Carrier ' s benefit .

      THE SOUTHERN STAR SATURDAY . MARCH 27 . 1841 .

      THE POOR LAW . IRISH SYMPATHY FOR THE ENGLISH POOR . Am , comment upon the sordid meanness and crouching rascality of the Irish joints of the Treasury tail is rendered nnnecessary by the undeviating practice ef these " pot-w&lloppers "—these cupboard " patriots . "

      We give , however , the names of the following nineteen , who voted for the fall measure of atrocity proposed by Monkey Rcsskll : —Blake , Bodkin , Beabazon ( Lord ) , Calla g han , Evans , Gisbosto ( one of the Anglo-Irish patriots , M . P . for the County of C&rlow ) , Howard , ( another Anglo-Irish patriot ) , HrHE ( the old " brown loaf , " and one of the "boys of Kilkenny ) , " Mabtin , Norkkts , Sir J . D . O'Beies ( not Brontebre ) , O'Consell , Sir J . Pi-Gon ( Attorney-General ) , Roche , Sheil ( the Right Honourable R . L . ) i Somebville ( Sir W . ) , Stocks ( Mr . Sergeant ) , Wtse , and Ashton Yates , ( coadjutor of Tom Gisborne for County of Carlow ) .

      Now , don't the English people owe the patriots a a signal debt of gratitude ! And of the fifty-one dissentients , not one single Irishman of any shade or colour of politics or religion . We also find H . G . Ward , and E . Pbotheroe , and C . Wood ( our Halifax M . P . 8 ) , in the list of starvebeggars . Will the men of Halifax allow them to enter into the town—aye , even into the town—again to insult the people ? If they do , we hope they'll put them upon salts and seDna for the rest of their lives ,

      THE MANCHESTER CORN LAW . MEETING . We stole an awkward march upon onr Manchester Whig friends by a bit of an express last week , by which means we administered the antidote with the poison . There appears to be much mystery in the whole affair . The Morning Chronicle of Monday is silent upon the " important subject ; " the Guardian declares it " unsafe to hold any more meeetings ; " the Sun tells a thumping lie " upon authority , - " and yet some of the worthies claim a victory !! If so , wo can only say they don't deserve it , they have made such a very bad use of the trinmph . Bat what BajB the Manchester Chronicle ! "Why , this : —

      " The Leaguers Defeated . —Never , within onr observation , was there a more signal or humiliating defeat snstained by any party than by the Anti-Corn law League yesterday , from the Chartists . " Now , will this do for our friends ? The Guardian cannot speak truth ; he calls a Mr . JaMES Cabt-1- edge the Teponer for the Slar , while he knew he was telling a lie . Was it Thomas Thorxhill Claeksos , E ? q ., who gave evidence against O'Bbien at Liverpool ; or wa 3 it Jeremiah , or Jobs Edwakd himself , that volunteered upon this service ?

      We last week , in our several editions , reported , and truly reported , three of the greatest trinmphs ever gained by a people over a faction . The complete overthrow of Walter and Co . at the Crown and Anchor , upon tbo " pat them on the belly " question ; the signs ! defeat of the export and import " Ogres " of Derby , with the Mayor in the chair ; and the unmerciful whacking of tho whole League in the verj camp . Here the fusfciaos , under the no :-e 3 of the rank-smelling tyrants , after having thinned them in Ekira >\ shei and section fighting , actually took the -whole camp by storm ! And when ? Why , ja ? J when a triumph would have been a good announcement of YlLLIERS' intended motion , and , to insure v ? hich , they , as a matter of course , put forward their whole force .

      we have always told cur friends not to leave the enemy a single shadow of a shade of doubt to hang a doubt upon ; and , & 3 we perceive that the " gentlemen" of Leeds intend taking advantage of the prewnee of Mr . Baines , M . P ., tohold their cheap labonr meeting , on Tuesday next , we rust that the thing will be put beyond all donbt , or cavil . Our friends now see the manner in which their good nature has be « n returned ; let them bear in mind that Leeds fought the first battle of the Spring campaign , and , on Tuesday , will finish it with the annihilation of ihe faction .

      \ V nerever Dr . M'DoCAIi , IjKECH , and BaIBSTOW , happen to be , it becomes the bonnden duty of the inhabitants of that locality , to send them to the national camp at Leeds , on Monday night , -in order that they may go over the chart , and each perfectly understand the part allotted to him by the council of war , now arranging for the capture of Fort Humbug . Pitkethlt , of Hudde . rsfield ; Arras , of Bradford ; and other friends , nxast be there too , Let no man remain behind , and we will teach them how to count beads this time . Harrth for Tuesday , then ! Leeds began , and Leeds will finish . Let M'DetiALL , Leech , and Baibstow be sent , without fail , and in time .

      THE AMERICAN WAR . Oub readers will , no doubt , hare felt some astonishment at our silence upon the subject ef a war with America , while we have looked upon tbeir indifference as a happy omen of increased domestic reflection . Time was , when an earthquake in China would have had more effect upon the English mind than any amount of domestic oppression , and , in consequence , the press never failed to supply the foreign melo-drama-tic representation , wish blue fird aiid all , while they were performing the domestic tragedy . We have not mentioned the subject , fiistly , becausa the life of a man may , in some way , be affected by the course which the people of this country ap-

      pear to take . Mr . M'Leou ' s life is not to be sported with , at least by us ; and we fear venturing upon a line , which , by giving an injudicious tone to public opinion , might , by the remotest chance , have that tendency . If he was within reach of us , we ' would hare given oar opinion boldly and freely ; bat any apparent interference , before trial , with the laws of one nation , by the people ef another , may cause » substitution of defiance for justice ; and , let it never be forgotten that if injustice be sanctioned against any one , under any circumstances , a precedent will be very easily framed out of the rule .

      Snob , then , are our personal reasons for not venturing any remark , while onr opinion generally is , that the Frse Republic of America will find herself considerably fettered by her three millions of black slaves , and England would find herself no less encumbered by her three millions of white ones , in the event of » war . We trust , we hope , and we feel confident that there will be no war and , for that ' very reason , because the slaves of each nation are trammels around each nation ' s neck ; and we earnestly and devoutly pray that upon the first shot being fired , some lucky acoident or kind friend ,

      willput a firelock in the hand of every Southern State slave , and say , " There , then , there ! behold , you slaves , the land enriched with your hearts' blood , your sweat and your toil ! Take , take , take this musket , as your title henceforth to hold it for yourselves , and to till it and use it for your own benefit , and may God bless you and it . Be not tyrants over those whom you command , or we will arm them , and depose you . " If such is to be one of the results of an American war , God send it

      to-night before to-morrow ; while we beg to assure our virtuous readers , that we have no desire to learn that a company of English soldiers discovered , after the battle , that many had probably shot their own brothers , fathers , eons , or friends . Again , and again , let us impress our readers with tho grand truth , that we look for the People's Charter to establish that balance of power which shall decide controversy by right , and not by might . What nation ever yet gained by war !

      PEEL AND STANLEY . We may at least claim credit , as having been the first to discover a desire , upon the part of the Right Honourable Baronet , to see the Earl of Derbt on his road to bliss , in order that his hopeful son may be on hia road to tho Upper House . Many circumstances have since transpired to prove the truth , of our prophecy ; but the press , in discHSsing the question , omits one of the most important points^—" tenure . "

      Now , Stanlet would be much more powerful than Peel , if Stanlky could confer as good a tenure upon his serfs ; but then , unfortunately , he has but a life interest himself , and that a bad one—a very bad one ; and the young birds know full well , that should they now give up the certainty for the uncertainty , by abandoning Sir Robert , to go to Lord Stanlet , that upon the melancholy event of the death of Earl Derby , the cross would stand before the name of each

      deserter in the Black Book ; this is Peel ' s strength , and this Peel knows . We said some weeks ago , that Peel was preparing to throw himself into . the arms of Whiggery ; we now assert that he ha 8 > become much more liberal than any Whig Government since 1 CG 6 , with a Bingle interregnum of Fox and Bedford sham-liberality towards the close of the eighteenth century , when they had the fear of the American war and French Revolution before their eyes .

      We have long said , and we now repeat it , that Pbel , Wellixgtok , Ltndhubst , BaouGUAM , and even Stanley , will make any sacrifice to get lid of Dasiel , and they will succeed ; and then Dan will look in vain for the ladder by which he got on the house-top , and like all fools he'll tumble and crack his neck , for the people will never again be humbugged by any man living ; they want their Charter , and that none can long withhold with safety .

We have received a considerable number of names of persons nominated to serve in the first General Council of the National Charter Association ; but , as many otherB have yet to come in , we havo deferred publishing them till next week , by which time we hope that every town and village , which has not yet nominated its councillors , will have done so , so that we may lay the whole list before the whole country , at one view .

      THE CONVENTION : VALUE OF REFLECTION . Most fully agreeing ia the universal expression of approval of O'Connor ' s plan of a Convention , we have had time to see some , or rather one , of the defects in its details . Nothing is more to be dreaded , or more to be avoided , than the slightest provocation for jealous feelings ; and , above all , nothing could be more iujurious than a collision between the Executive and the-people of any locality . In order , therefore , to prevent the possibility of such an occurrence , we would recommend the substitution of the ballot for

      0 'Colon ' s plaD , in the event of more than ten being elected as delegates . That is , we would recommend the Executive to call a public meeting , and at that public meeting , and in presence of all assembled , to write the names of every candidate chosen , upon slip 3 of paper ; and then , after a proper shake , commence a ballot , by having the names drawn , by a person blindfold , from the ballotting-box , and when proclaimed , let the namo be thrown from the hustings among the audience ; and ¦ when the ei ght , with MoiR and Williams , are chosen , let those be put to the meeting as the persona duly elected .

      This plan will prevent after disputes and jealousies ; fur we do confess that the people at Edinburgh , Newcastle , or Norwich , or any place , would have just cause of complaint , should their delegates be postpoaed apon no better grounds than the vote of a meeting , to whom they were entire strangers . This would bring sections into collision with tho Executive , which should , above all things , be avoided . Our plan leaves no room for jealousy , suspicion , or after

      clap . We throw out the suggestion for the consideration of our readers . We have great pleasure in informing our readers that moro than one half of the sum Teqnired has been subscribed during the past fortnight ; and , we have no doubt , relying , as we do , on tho spirit and zeal » f the people , that the remaining half will be forthcoming before next Saturday .

      O'CONNOR'S LETTERS . We are compelled to postpone O'Connor ' s letter upon Church Cliartism , Teetotal Chartism , Knowledge Chartism , and Household Chartism ; and also his letter to the Marquis of No&uanbiJT We bad but the alternative of withholding them , or his second lei ter to O'Mallsy ; and , in the selection , we consulted our own feelings , which , we are convinced , will be responded to by our readers , that nothing should be allowed to interfere with th « chain of electricity , which is sare to be produced upon the mind of every man by the letters to O'Mailey .

      The whole series will form a compendium of Irish history , each increasing in romantic beauty and historic research—the whole presenting Ireland at one view , in a manner never attempted by any writer of any age , in a whole life . Well may O'Connob say— " no man Bhall plead ignorance of Ireland when I have dona with her . " Ths eecoud letter , which will be found in our seventh page , will be read , bnt never trill be aniwered . When completed * the whole series will be published in a che&p form , and may be taken as a second volume of O'Connoe ' s letters to O'Conmell .

We are progressing rapidly , though we have much to contend with : the sainted

      teachers of the people , the middle-claBS legislators , and the bigot ted tools who fatttn and riot on their spoils , have done their worst to crash every germ of our growing principles ; but in vain . Knowledge ia progressive , aDd truth immutable ; and , like the mountain stream , it may bo impeded or retarded in itB course , bat gathering strength by every obstacle , will ultimately burst all bounds , and find its way at last in calm and majestic beauty to the great ocean of truth .

Mr . Cullea supported the resolution with his usual ability , Mr . M'Failane in seconding the resolution remarked , that no motion , he believed , had ever met with more general approbation among the Chartists of every description than the plan of a Petition Convention , as proposed by Mr . O'Connor . The moderate party was in its favour , arid so was the more sanguine : the one party because they had always acted upon it ; the other party because ft came from the quarter it did—in fact , he believed no one would oppose it , unless it were from factious motives . The speaker went en in his own eloquent

      w » y , showing the good results that were likely to flow from the measure . He was repeatedly cheered . The resolution was then put by the Chairman , and unanimously carried . Mr .

The subject of the lecture was good , and elicited considerabla applause . He concluded by proposing a union with the middle classes , for the pnrpose of obtaining the Charter , and recommended that all offensive language , against that class , should be carefully avoided by the Chartists . The proposition and recommendatien caused considerable merriment ' among those present . Me 3 srs . CuUen , Colquhonn , and others expressed themselves briefly on the subject ; the substance of which was , that the Chartists had done everything they could to get the middle classes to co-operate with them , and had ultimately found out , that they had only been grasping at a shadow and leaving tho substance behind , and if any offensive language had been

      used against the middle class , they had themselves to blame , having been the first aggressors , and that the middle-class were so cut up in sections or parties , that no union could be formed with them . There were the Whig and Tory party , the Corn Law Repealers , the Undefined Extension of the Suflrage men , the Household Suffrage humbug ? , the voluntaries , Non-intru 8 ionist and Church Endowment parties , and last not least , a party so deeply enga ged in lookiiio- after black slavery that they could not see the white slavery at their own doors . In a word , the middle-class were divided upon all subjects ana united upon none ; -while the Chartists along who tho teal friends of humanity among the middleolasses , were firmly united upon one given object , ana they must and will ultimately triumph . A vote ol thanks was given to the lecturer for his otherwise excellent lecture , when the meetiug dissolved .
