...Mr. Crawford makes one true statement, that is, that Mr. Hammond was elected by a majority of the votes cast. I agree with him. Mr. Hammond was elected by a majority, but two of the votes cast were illegal. Mr. Crawford says that but one vote was challenged, but the truth is that two were challenged, whose names could be furnished if it were necessary. Mr. Crawford thinks that I referred to him.

THOSE who had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Perry last year were glad to see his announcement that he would begin, on Tuesday, his course of lectures on the "English Dramatists." Accordingly, notwithstanding the hour, eleven o'clock, which probably prevented some from attending, about fifty gentlemen were present, with their expectations gauged by Mr. Perry's success last year. We do not, however, think they were fully met, though through no fault of the lecturer. In such a course the first lecture must be more or less introductory, and in proportion as it is so, the hearer...
