Theft.reverenect gentlematt*,•wha, briefly introduced by Rev. Mr, Craig, .whb occupied the cjaair, and the lecturer was Or tentively listened to for about two hours •• The lecturer began by describing the ex- tent and population of the 'world' at the pro. ,sent time and inferring therefrom the prObit- ble population of the world a century 'hence, ifY'which time jndging,Iroixt the hietory 5an4 experience of the past, there would' be, hitt . one nation left, proving from the prOgreseion ,and changes in language and dietributten of the the surplus population of the earth, as well as the power of the Christian religion, that this one great nation would eventually be the Saxon. He spoke of ;the Jewish as a pecu- liar race whose existence —. nnii&e that of most alter races, cannot be accounted for by human reason, whose numbers are the same now, scattered though they be -among the nations of the earth, as they were,eentu- ries ago. Nor can this absence of increase in numbers be humanly accounted for, se the Jew's are not °lily a long lived people but are possessed of both wealth and intellect. He next proceeded to speak c,f the origin of. the Saxon race, and takingthe acknowledged authority of Shannon Turner, traced their ori- gin back to Central Asia. The very name of the Saxon nation denotes its lost condition, eignifiying as it does "without date." Trac- ing the history of the Hebrew nation from the time of the Patriarch to the division of the kingdom and thence downward, he finally located the disappearance of tribes in precise- ly the same spot to Which the origin of the Saxon race had been traced, completely dis- proving the assertions of writers who pre- tended to discover the lost tribes of Israel among the degenerated and insignificant In- dian tribes of the west, whose custdms hap- pened to bear a faint resemblance to oriental - ism. The lecturer conspleted the identifica- tion of the Saxon race with the " lost" tribes of Israel by a chain of acute reasoning and logical deductions. The ultimate supremacy of one earthly throne fie typical of the throne. of Heaven, was dwelt upon after.,Which the lecturer proceeded:to trace the lineal descent of our Sovereign Queen from David, with a min- uteness and conclusiveness surprising even to many,w.ho bad before given attention to the .enbject.- Her, Majesty •obtaining her'xight •through descent frpm James VI, who, it is cleiehe lineal descent from the Kings -of 'tflnr said the lecturer, "I can connect the lino of David with these, I am all- fignt." -"Phe: oarrying away of the prophet Jetemihh"Wrtthelvto.danghtere of the King into EgYPt. .is told in 'the Ord chapter of Je- remiah 'Brom here they were forced to fee '-;13nt',where.? 'They could not 'return to Pa- lestine, the Y coitld•not seek shelter in Assyria, neither could they. remain, in Egypt. They had only'recourseto flight by sea. The two maritime people," then • were the Plicene9ans and the tribe of Dan, the former..being end - mica and the latter friends of the prophet's' people, it was natural that he ehould embark with these, a seafaring tribe, who had given' their name to many places from the Datnabo, to Denmark.

ACCording' to early Irish history Ireland was settled by two • tinct laces, the people -of Phi-chicia and the tribe of Dan„ thee two races disagreeing in Palestine did notagree in Ireland ; this is the 'key to the troubles in Ireland to -day. The tribe of Dan had settled in Ulster, and here the prophet Jeretniah seared with the two daughters of the King of Israel, one of whom, he eventually gave in marriage to the King of Ulster, under certain conditions, the fulfil. ment of which has stamped its influence upon the customs of their descendants to this The actual existence of the "-beautiful prin- cess from the east" is proven beyond doubt, while the probability of the " Saluted Patri- arch," as the prophet was termed, being one and the same person as Saint Patrick, the .lecturer fairly established, cc he did the iden- tity of " Jacob's stone," broughtover by the prophet. with the coronation stone taken from Ireland to Scotland, and from thence to Eng- land. Dr.- Wild's description of the ruins .of Tara was vivid and eloquent, and the asser- tion of his firm belief in the existence of the " Ark of the Covenant" in those very ruins, must have carried a thrill' of conviction through the minds of the enraptured listeners, especially as it was explained that a clause in the Union treaty...with- Great Britain forbade any excavations ou the site of the ancient Tara. His explanation of the signification of the true Royal of Great Britain and Ireland, and the conformity of that significa- tion with the views he had expressed of the origin and composition of the Saxon race, was a complete and satisfactory lecture in itself, and he closed ami4, continued apPlaute.
