BANKS'S LECTURE: On Friday night last, by request, fr, uanks, of r ayetteville, repeated lo ibis Cit his Lecture on the "Horaance of Scottib History.'. The evening waj clear and bracing, and the Commons Hall presented an assemblage of intelligence and beaitf v seldom seen here on any occasion. Ur. Unnks was introduced to the audience by MnKj ant well. 1 he Lecture wa impres sively delivered, and well received. Ine Lecturer commenced in the twelfth century, and came down to the present day, present. ing and illustrating toe leading events in Scottish history, and interweaving there with many of the k-gends and much of the touching poetry of bis native land. When at l ist he blfiided the "Komance of Scot tisb History" with the history of the United States, and particularly of North Carolina, and pointed to the patriotism and valor displayed by the descendsnts of Scotchmen on this side the great waters, the rnlhuaiasm of the audience was fully' aroused, and he was greeted with long and loud applaase. In a word, the Lecture, both in matter and manner, was all that could have been ex pected by Mc. Banks' most devoted friends; and we but utter the general wish when we say that we should be much pleased to see il in print. Juiieti; standard.
