Rev. W. *eDouwRb,'s 1.0etare,. '
There was a very good attendance at
the lecture given under the auspices of
the Oddfellews, on Friday evening last,
the hall being more than three parts full.
Rev. J. Gray was chosen as; chairman,
and made a brief speech in introducing
Rev. W. McDonagh, who, ex pressed plea-
sure at meeting his old friends here, even
if they had, as he jocularly remarked,
"once kicked him out." After stating
the circumstances which led him to take
his trip to the; old country, he at once
crossed the ocean and dropped his hearers
in Liverpool, calling special attention.
here to the enormous.shipping interests
of Great Britain, as represented by the
forest of masts anchored at seven miles of
wharfage, and for two miles into the city.
He next described his journey to London,
and circumstances that arose on the trip;;
then gave a hurried flight around this
marvellous and wonderful city, took a
look in the House of Commons, describ-
ing minutely the network of underground
railways, the •high-level railway, which
runs above the tops of the houses; the
'various places of historic interest, and the.
vast population represented in a city .30
miles long by 20 broad, and growing tre-
mendously fast.' He found too: much stiff:.
news and formality in the. Englishmen to
suit him, although he met many who
were very hospitable, . and extended to
him a most cordial welcome. Spending
some time in Ireland, he visited the places
celebrated in history and revered by Or-
angemen to -day. Found. Ireland in a
much more prosperous condition than he
expected,._but very unsettled. The Ver-
dure, foliage, etc., were beautifully de-
scribed by him, but the Protestants there
were in such a state of uncertainty andperil, that l tfe
stn is was almost a burden ; Pro-
t not
e n y would make: heavy invest-
ments in real-estate or other property, be-
cause they were in�ccontinual dread of as
sassination. He visited Phcenix Park, in
°Dublin, the place where Lord Cavendish
and Mr; Burke were so atrociously mur-
dered by Fenians a short time ago,'and
said the spot where they fell had been so
prized by relic hunters, that the gravel
and earth: was scooped out for quite a dis-
tance. He said that people' fell into a
mistake in: supposing that a Conservative
-or-Lirberal-- iii--Engl and--wns-th e--samre-ar
the members of those parties:in Canada.
In England thine were entirely different
to what they were here; there was not so
