LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Lyttet/ton Colonists' Society. —On Tuesday evening Mr. H. J. Porter gave a Lecture on some Notes of a.Tour through Denmark, Sweden, &c, as advertised last week. We have not Epace for any. lengthened summary of this Address, but we may remark that the reading of the extracts from the published life of Thorwalsden, and the description by Professor Airey of the Eclipse of the Sun as seen from Gottenberg in the year 1851, from the published Transactions, excited considerable attention. The subject is to be continued on Tuesday evening next. Mr. Porter entered the Lecture-room with a tall Swedish hat on his head, a knapsack on his back, and a big stick in his hand. The gale of Monday evening considerably injured another of our coasting craft. The "Fanny" while lying at anchor parted from her cable and ran on shore a little below the Mitre Hotel. Unfortunately this vessel was laden with cargo for the Plains, which is all more or less injured. It is due to the harbor to state, that no one was on board at the time the accident happened, and that she had only one light anchor down.
