[[10 columns]] NATIONAL LECTURES--DR. LARNED, OF TEXAS, AT CLINTON HALL.--Dr. Edward S. Larned, of Texas, delivered the initial lecture of a course on national subjects, at Clinton Hall, last evening. The audience was comparatively small, a defect which was in some measure (thought no in any pecuniary way) compensated for by the keenly analytic criticaim of historical questions displayed by the lecturer. The subject of last evening's analysis was, "The Pilgrim Republic, or the American Colonies Beneath Self-Rule," which subject was treated in a politico-historic sort of a way, embodying a thorough investigation of the acts of the Pilgrim Fathers and the motives for those sots, beginning with the founding of the colony, and ending with the difficulties which occurred at the time of the restoration. The lecture was a complete disquisition on the origin and progress of republicanism in America. the points made were 1, the gradual usurpation of the royal prerogative by those emigrants; 2, the duplicity exercised by them toward the English Government; and 3, their cruelty and intolerance toward persons dissenting from their religions tenets. The second lecture of the course--on "English Misrule in America, or the Origin and Causes of the revolution"--will be delivered on Friday evening.--N. Y. News. The New York Express, a reliable journal, says it firmly believes a majority of the Northern people feel kindly toward the people of the South, and desire the instant admission of their Representatives. It adds: It is a majority of Congress, elected while the war was still raging, representing the war feeling of that day, and hopelessly fanatical, who firmly resolved that the Southern States shall not, as long as they can prevent it, "participate in even the most trivial note of legislation."

It is not a stagnation simply local in its character, induced by local causes, or springing from any hostility to Chicago, or to the want of proper facilities and advantages for the transaction of business, It is something broader and more serious than this. It is caused by the general depression of Western interests, by the low prices of produce and the high prices of everything our people are compelled to buy. Agriculture is paralyzed, and in obedience to the great laws of nature, all other interests sympathize with it. The sole cause of this depression is the "depression" given to the few manufacturers of the Eastern States, by robbery of American Industry. The Western people are too poor to endure the tariff, which is draining their pockets of everything; and, if our business men have any desire to remedy the existing evils as soon as possible, they will join in a unanimous protest against its continuance. If this tariff were broken down, the prices of merchandise would fall, the cost of production be diminished, and the present exorbitant rates of transportation would be reduced, and business regain its wanted activity and prosperity. Until this is done, business will languish, and each succeeding month witness the distress, stagnation and gloom intensified. The New Skirt. THE NEW SKIRT- THE NEW SKIRT. J. W. BRADLEY'S Patent Duplex Elliptic (or double) Steel Springs. It is pleasing to all Ladies and the public generally to know that another objection, which are so justly and generally found against the wiring of the stiff, unyielding and [[?]] single spring hoop skirts, have at least been entirely overcome in the manufacture of the universal favorite, called the "Duplex Elliptic" (or double) Spring Hoop Skirts. These skirts were introduced into the market a little over a year ago, by the inventor and patentee Mr. J. W. Bradley, of New York city. The positive advantages these posses over all spring hoop skirts that ever have or ever can be made, is that they will not bend or break like all single spring hoop skirts, but will preserve their perfect and beautiful shape more than twice as long as any single spring skirt which can be made, on account of the HOOPS being made of DUPLEX (or two) very [[freely?]] tempered STEEL SPRING ingeniously braided tightly and firmly together. There is combined in their manufacture superior flexibility, lightness, durability grace, comfort and economy. In all Crowded Assemblies, Carriages, Railroad Cars, Church Pews, Promenade or Home Dress, they surpass all others, and are unequaled as they readily adapt themselves to any and every emergency and exigency, folding as easily as a Silk or Muslin Dress when brought in contact with any pressure whatever, and immediately resume their former grace and elegance the moment that pressure is removed, without subjecting the wearer to the least inconvenience, and finally making the Most Agreeable and Stylish Skirt ever Manufactured.
