LECTURE ON HORNE-TOOKE.

The young men of St. James' Mutual Improvement Society held their first meet in" of the new session on Monday in the room attached to the church, the ltev It. F. Macnicol, president, in the chair. The preliminary business being over, the chair man called upon Mr Biackman to deliver his promised lecture on John Horne-Tooke. The lecturer in the opening part 'of his subject treated of Home's parentage, youth, and school days at Westminster, Eton; relating several anecdotes in connection with his early life, his perseverance, ami intense admiration of Milton, the poet. His subsequent years at Cambridge were noticed, where his fellow-students were in the habit of twitting him on the mean ness of his birth, he being a poulterer's son. Home would good humourtdly reply that he was the son of a Turkey-merchant, and as capable a chicken as the loudest of cacklers amongst them; and he practically exhibited his muscular powers, which had salutary effect in checking the outbursts of aristocratic pride and insolence. Home's career as tutor to the son of Elwes, the Miser of Berk shire ; as curate of Chisleliurst, and Minis ter of New Brentford chapelry, with speci mens of his style of preaching, his legal studies, His refusal of admission to the Bar, by the benchers of the inwsT Temple, his farmingfailure near Huutiuston ; his political connection with John Wilkes, his triumph over the mystical " Junius," his taking the surname of Mr Tooke, of Purley Park, neai Croydon, sketch of " Diversions of Purley,' audits influence of Dr Johnston ; his im prisonment for libel ; his struggles and pamphlets in favour of the freedom of the press, parliamentary reform, and popular education ; his famous six days' trial, his opposition to Lord Hood and Charles James at Westminster, and his return for the rotten borough of Old Sareni, and lastly his closing years at Wimbledon, were all sketched in succession, interspersed with many interesting facts from original sources. Home - Tooke numbered amongst his friends some of the most ~ eminent men of his age : Sir James Macintosh, Richard Sharp, the essayist; Lord Lyndhurst, Sir Francis Bnr dett, Col. Bosville. Wm. Goodwin, father-in law of the poet Shelley : Samuel Rogers, the poet of memory ; Curran, Peter Pindar, and others ; and Tooke's Sunday dinner parties were almost as well-known as the breakfasts of Rogers. Even old George the Third visited Tooke several times, until the wit olfendeu the King. In that age gambling was'popular ; everybody gambled, and fortunes and estates were frequently lost in one night. George the Third was fond of a game of cribbage, and on oue occasion challenged Horne-Tooke, who had always set his face against card-playing, as unworthy of men and a waste of time. "Mr Tooke," said His Majesty, " why do you object to a game of cribbage ?" Tooke Teplied, '-Your Majesty, because I cannot tell a king from a knave." The monarch -appeared to take the witty retort good huniouredly, but was never known again to visit the wit of Wimbledon. Horue- Tooke was one of the wittiest men of his time, and a perpetual punster; but his puns and flashes of wit were not always in the best taste, fie was a man of rare con versational powers, a close debater, and a powerful, if not an eloquent orator. His drawing-room, facing a splendid garden, often rang with the merry laughter of his friends. Horne-Tooke died on the 12th March, 1812, and was buried in Ealing churchyard, where a plain stone marks his grave. Horne-Tooke, however,-was a very remark able man, a scholar, and possessed of large and varied information. He was fearless in character and utterance, and utterly despised hypocrisy, and what we should term ""toadyism;" he could not cringe to_ the tryant and the oppressor. He committed errors of judgment, but. like Franklin', he tried to make amends. His temper was oecsionaUy soured _by dis appointment and physical suffering, but when health permitted he was a genial and merry-hearted companion, and frequently " set the table in a roar." His letters and labours in favour of liberty en title his memory to respect; and had his father made him a lawyer instead of a preacher he would have found full scope for his abilities, and would have succeeded in a profession for which he was eminently fitted by the constitution of his mind. Piev. Mr Macnicol complimented the lecturer for his elaborate sketch of a man of whose life and character little was known, and which must have gratified and instructed every member present. Several members al?."> ex pressed their indebtedness for the literary treat which had been presented to them.

TO THE WORKING MEN OF AUCKLAND.

(Per favour of the Editor Evening Stab.) EFFORTS are about to be made next session to obtain manhood suffrage. Many of you already possess the necessary qualification ; but, from indolence or neglect, some have -failed to register themselves as voters. I desire to remind you that you owe it to yourselves, your families, and the public good, to register forthwith, while there is yet time. Many vital questions will crop up, aud it is not impossible that there will 'be a dissolution of Parliament and a general election. Now is your time, then, to secure th? right to return members to the Assembly Avho will recognise the dignity of honest labour. I see no reason why an intelligent working man should not seek to represent you iv Parliament with a good chance of success, if you put your shoulders to the wheel. The question will soon be : Is he an elector ? No. Then he must be a loafer ! So study your own interests by registering yourselves as voters for your respective districts. Remember, registration is free ! Past experience goes to shew that it is not good to allow capital to monopolise the ruling power in a new -country. After all the land is gone, and you are placed in competition with Chinese labour, and you are driven to despair like the working classes in California : what will capital do for you then ? Scout you ! Call you a Com munist if you raise your voice against existing evils. Therefore, having the remedy in your ownha-nds, see to it that you let not the opportunity slip. Kegister ! Register ! I am, &c, A Working Man.
