Colatoa:'' . -n.;i'i.'. --4 j The Gpera Housei last evening, was : riot crpwded,aawe anticipated it, would be, on the occasion . off Gen Colston's lecture. There was, however, a large and respecta ble vaudierice ' in! 'attendance," attracted by the reputation of the lecturer-and the pro found ,inlere8t which,: in : the minds of all cultivated people, will fprerer ,be' attached .to the, subject, of his discourse Egypt is .tne most won aertui. country of , the wprld, the scene of some of "the "most remarkable events in sacred and profane histbryj for many ages the cradie of science and the home of civilization. I; i , , Gen., Colston, is ,, not' a . professional lec turer, but has had large experience as a teacher, imi has utilized a really1 extraordi nary talent for sketching with 'his pencil to a&Iexterit: which, with. the aid of proper apparatus,': would enable him to reproduce; aad delineate, to any audience, however in4 attentive (oc unpultivated, a very faithful picture by means 8f these representations j Of '"the cities 'and ''general" appearance of Modern ;Egypt;'its populatibri,' so strange- ly recalling by their dress and manners, the charming . fictions : of romance retained in their general style , of living,., dress . and manners, the . customs of , the .East ' for over a thousand ! years. He . said he could not undertake to present these draw 'ings',1 and 5 reappearing - for the purpose be-) : fore a Wilmington audience,' without ma king come acknowledgment, however im-' perfect, of the kind greeting he had rev ceived upon his return. 'The proper pre-i seritation of the subject of his lecture would naturally require' from him, first, an ac-J .count of the ancient history and traditions of. Egypt-ra .Subject .of intense, and ab sorbing interest to the entire human family,1 .but entirely too voluminous for the present' occasion; '' Secondly, its ' modern history,? and, " lastly','"5 a description' of the present; population, ' ' the manne rs and govern-; ment of the country He should con. tent himself with occupying but, a little corner of this vast field. For several years past the entire' European arid American ina terest in this singular country had been ab sorbed by !the career of Ibrahim Pashar better known as the: Khedive. A man of wonderful talents as a: ruler,, his principal difficulty in earrying on a successful go- yernment was his .want of familiarity with the modern system of finance? In his dress arid personal habits ' the Khedive was a European, - and be I had the indepen dence to avail himself, : during : his ad ministration, of .the . assistance of . Euro pean and , American . officers. Among these , Gen."; Colston, mentioned Col. LoriBg ki among the most conspicuous ari useful of his staff: Col: Loring had served with reputation in Mexico; where he lost his right arm,! and also in tho Confederate service. Some of the foreign officers were employed in the , government at Cairo. To others had been, entrusted the charge of expeditions sent out from that capital for purposes - of exploraii on : or conquest. Among these latter Gen.-Colston bad him self been : engaged for several ; years... He had had at. one time the singular fortune to be compelled to continue in . charge of one of them when for several months his bbdity' frame1 ' was racked by ago nies ' '- which-f it i - is almost inconceivable could have been'survived, and from which he had not yet entirely recovered.,. On one occasion, he.,was transported for;twelve hundred "miles across the- desert 'on a litter. Some of the Sketches' were prepared Under these circumstances, and were necessarily imperfect, i Upon these journeys he was usually accompanied by a single European servant, the rest of his escort being.com posed, entirely of natives of the country, mounted on'camela.' " ' h The General's reriiarks were illustrated by stereoscopic views. - - ' - ' ..The audience separated about 1Q o'clock, highly pleased with the lecture. - , : i ;i irt C, a?. Mi A.;. ! : - U .
