ENGLAND IN THE, NINE TEENTH CENTURY.

A VERY practical and instructive lecture | ob "England in the Nineteenth Century " M was given last evening in the Wellesley* 1 i street East school by the Hcad.inaater, Mr I Worthingtoo, and the lecture was all the more interesting because several iof the J events narrated occurred within the rccol* m lection of living men and women. Mr Worthington opened with a graphic descrip. I tion of the state of parties and the condition M of Kurope in tne dawn of this century, and. 1 immediately after the great revolution of France. The military career of Napoleon, ;| who was the idol of the age, and who ruled ■ over half of Europe, was sufficieatly depicted; also, the military and naval triumphs of Wellington and Nelson. To M these heroes, the lecturer said, we owe a '| debt of gratitude, Wellington lived to & great age in the peaceful enjoyment of '■£ rewards, but Kelson was sacrificed in thß ;fm servile of his country. The events ot the ;4| 15 years of turmoil and war were success' -a fully sketched, and the final battle of : Waterloo, fought on a bright mid-summer M Sunday. Then followed the 40 years of 5 peace; years of progress and improvement. Men like Wilberforce, Clarkson, and i Brougham set to work to ameliorate tho -.-":: atrocities of slavery in the West Indies.^ M The lecturer reviewed successively tuej|| struggle for political freedom, and tliosa privileges which we, in this colony enjoy, and described inequalities (rhich then ' existed, and the sweeping away of the old 'M rotten boroughs,«uch as Old Sarum, Gatton, :M and others, where some half-dozen men :m retained the members to Parliament, while :m large manufacturing townß in the North, i containing thousands of inhabitants, were \ : M excluded from Parliamentary represents- ,|| tion altogether. A brief history of the a "Repeal of the Corn Laws" was given, J which was brought about through the .; persevering efforts of Mr Cobden, and con- 'B eluded by Sir Robert Peel, who gave theUJI poor man a cheap loaf for ever. The suV. ■m sequent wars in Russia and India werdm delineated; the former through theag^res- ,f sive power of Russia, or, as "Punch* said, "Russia was desirous of having a 5 large slice of Turkey, with a little bit ot i* Greece." The disasters, mfarrianiiee- : ment, and proverbiat courage of . English soldiers and sailors received due comment, The latter part of tho discourso ' was devoted to tho almost innumerable | advantages which we enjoy over those ot our forefathers, closing with a rapid Bketcn . ~ of the happy results of colonisation, <» ana . especially of the growth of New Zealand | from the year 18«, when the Englwh standard was first planted in this country, * interspersed with notices of, visits to tin principal cities and towns of Australatia during the present year. At the close, Mr Worthington complimented^ the girls Una boys, and especially the girls, for their attention and good behaviour at bis series ■ of lectures, and wished them all a merry ■ Chriatmas.
