MR. W. W. HORNELL'S ELOQUENT LECTURE.

Mr. W. W. Hornell, read a most learned, interesting and fanciful paper to the English Association yesterday evening when it met at the Cathedral Hall under the chair- manship of the Hon. Dr. R. H Kotowall, C.M.G. Mr. Hornell dis tilled for his audience the very essence of poetry, and his address sparkled with genus called from the greatest of poetic masterpieces.
