Mr. Archibald Forbes, the renowned and - . popular London War Correspondent, delivered two intensely interesting lectures in the Theatre in this city, the evenings of April 28 and 29. Mr. Forbes was suffering from a severe cold and lameness, and was obliged to sit while speaking. He opened his first lecture "Royal people I have met," by saying he had, during the past ten years, made "seven distinct campaigns, five in Europe, one in Asia, and one in Africa." He gave forcible and graphic descriptions of several great men of each nation as he had eeen them, under the peculiar circumstances of war and battle grounds. The second lecture, "The Inner Life of a War Corresponden t," gave him more opportunity to display his ability in painting vivid and thrilling life pictures. Those who heard him will have a conception of the danger and risks of life and limb to which one h exposed 'who writes he war news for the pnb-li- e journals which the people read quietly xby their fireside, or at the breakfast-tabl- e. Mr.: Forbes is very pleasing in appearance he haa a' wonderful fountain of languageand hlssfyleris' sufficiently humorous to make him eminently7 tractive to his audience. - " J IN MEMORIAM" V vtueea v luioria, uosirmg to honor one who had proved himself a faithful and efficient fHendand servant, both to her'netf' and England, elevated him to the PeeragV by the title of Earl Beaconsfleld; but Disraeli's the household word by which the country will hand ucujumm xyisraen : down one of her faithful servants to posterity. By that name he patiently and perseveringly trod the , road, step by step, to fame and honor, until he stood at he right hand of his sovereign ' and next to her iri authority. Over thirty years have passed since the papers gave to the public the thrilling, impassioned, fervid speeches of this marvelously gifted.man! an d y et w i Jh ai? sbunjl pol icy and' common sense were the basis of the same. Therewas a strong opposition and party, feeling existing against him. What was the cause?

We have no time to trace out the ' it to, say it existed, and .men in that august assembly when he first arose to address them, forgot to be gentlemen, and actually laughed him to scorn ! thrice he arose, and they rudely silenced bJm then he sat down, and with a quiet dignity saying the, memorable words, ''Gentlemen, you will not hear me now, but the time will come when you shall hear me!M His ' prophetic nature made him calm; he knew his plane was a' ris'irtg one, and he had 'the character is tip fPfdu ranee ot the royal line of Judab.

He waited, but never forgot to work; and at last came the "hiring," and the wages with it, aud jthe support and admiration' of a large, influential part of England, and the entire confidence and appreciation of his sovereign, who often Kent for him for private conferences, and was no doubt refreshed and strengthened for her arduous duties by his bold uucomprising policy, and by the inimitable language'ih whichr he ever clothed his ideas. His prophecy was nowvfulfilled, they did hear him, and bowed .the knee to him also, for he was now Premier of England. Methinks "they" heard him then I Yes, they "heard him gladlyj bis prophetic words were verified. ni9 last speech ia the House of Lords, on Lord Lyt-ton- 's motion with regard to Candahar, lacked none of the vigor of other times; "it was spirited, frank, and had many touches of the old inextinguishable humor, which used to illuminate the dullness of House of Commons debates like flashes of summer lightning." And in his last severe illness, b.6 spent some of the intervals from suffering in correcting, with the assistance of Lord Barrin'gtoh, that very speech; he seemed anxious that it should go forth to the world as correct as he Could make it. Oh, Death ! here is thy sting ! This Palladium of England, its Parliament, Constitution, Cabinet and Court, has passed away, and the country mourns her brilliant Statesman and her honored Patriot!
