THE GREAT PYRAMID.

There was a very large audience at tho Oddfellows' Hall last night to hear Mr Brunton's third and last of the Eeriea of lectures he has heen delivering on this interesting subject. The Be v. J. Elmolio occupied the chair, and after a short prayer briefly introduced the lecturer. After going over some of the old ground, the lecturer proceeded to demonstrate how tho cubic contents of the various chambers were in an exact state of arithmetical proportion with regard to each other, also how the " ark of the covenant" of the Israelites contained exactly the same amount of cubic inches as the coffer in the king's chamber, and lastly, how the ark constructed by Noah was built in strict proportions as regards ship-building, and was one hundred thousand times as large as the ark of the covenant. The lecturer then showed how certain passages of Scripture which have hitherto been unexplainable are very easily explained, by using the Pyramid as a key, and he referred to several passages in the major prophets and Job that could only refer to tho Pyramid. After touching on the subject of secular education, he proceeded to unravel some of the mysteries of the interior of the Pyramid, and disclosed some very interesting facts in connection therewith. In the narrow passage loading to the largo gallery there are exactly the same number of inches as there were years between the exodus of the Israelites out of Egypt and the birth of our Lord. Thero is also a marked stone, two thousand seven hundred and ten inches from tho entrance of the gallery along this passage, and as Dr. Herschel dates the building of tho Pyramid* in the year 2710 8.C., that was, to say the least, a remarkable coincidence. Mr Brunton summed up his lecture by going over the principal items of the previous lectures, and impressing upon his hearers at the same time how the greatest truths of Christianity were pourtrayed in tho Pyramid. Archdoaoon Wilson moved, and Mr Holloway seconded — " That a hearty vote of thanks be accorded Mr Brunton for tho able and exhaustive lectures he had given." The vote on being put to the meeting was carried by acclamation. Archdeacon Wilson pronounced tho Bone' diction, and the audience dispersed.
