Mr. Huntington delivered another of his enjoyable lectures before a good audience last evening. The subject chosen was Venice, and the views shown by the stereopticon were very beautiful. The first views were photographs of the Lower Piazza, and the Ducal Palace. Then the lecturer presented views of St. marks, both from the interior and exterior. The photographs of the altar rail and the south end of the Vestibule were especially noticeable. The Campanile was the next object described, the lecturer dwelling at length upon the beautiful views which lay in sight from its upper windows.
After throwing upon the screen some beautiful interior views of the Ducal Palac, the lecturer went on to the description of the Grand Canal, lined with noble palaces on either side, which have now been desecrated by being converted into mere ware-houses. A few more views of a general nature closed the exhibition. It is to be regretted that some of the views were so in distinctinctly taken, as the injudicious "restorations" which are now going on will destroy many of the beauties which should be preserved by this means.
