MIRIAM, A DRAMATIC POEM. This is the title of a beautifully printed vol i ume of 124 pages duodecimo, which has just l been published by Messrs. Hilliard, Gray &, ■Co. The appearance of an original dramatic J>ocm is quite an event in our literary history, ■nd of course is sure to attract attention and Kwakcn curiosity. The work before us is cal culated not only to excite but to gratify those Hidings, and will recommend itself to every as a valuable contribution to our natinn ■ literature, whicli as yet, is but meagerly in the departments of poetry and the oi' a lady, who, with the timidity natur- H|a:id becoming in her sex, lias for twelve Hears shrunk from meeting the gaze of the Bmblic oyc* and suffered this beautiful product ■of her genius and taste to slumber for that long ■ period in the obscurity of manuscript We I rejoice, for the sake of the public, that she has f at last been prevailed upon to permit it to ap pear in print, and we heartily thank her for the ' high and pure gratification which, in common with many others, we have derived from its pe rusal. The subject and the scene of this Poem ase among the most interesting that could have been chosen, and are admirably adapted for dramatic effect. The scene is laid at one of the great revolutionary epochs of our race, in one of the most stirring periods of the world’s history, “when Christianity,” to use the words of the Author’s preface, “was struggling al most for life under the persecution of trium phant Heathenism.” The design of the poem Is to illustrate the state of things which then existed, and by the introduction of imaginary scenes and characters, to pmirtray the inward as well as the outward conflicts of the Chris tian and the Pagan worlds. Wc here actual ly see the two religions Struggling for the 1 misery over gifted mind?, and the strongest principles and feelings of our nature brought f >rth and embodied in the words and actions of the personages in the drama. It is a noble theme, boldly imagined, and ably and success fully handled. The interest is kept up to the close, through more than a hundred pages, en livened bv many passages of touching beauty •and intense passion. The language is alto gether worthy of the subject, and rises at times Com the dignified inarch of well-studied verse to tiie full note of harmony and the lofty strain of impassioned poetry. There will be an involuntary disposition, we are aware, to compare this American poem with Serjeant Talfourd’s splendid drama, which lias recently attracted so much atten tion in this country as well as in England.— Now, although it may be hardly right to insti tute a comparison between works so essentially •unlike, and manifestly unfair to contrast our unpretending authoress with that accomplished •s molar, yet we hesitate not to sav, that to the mass of intelligent readers, unacquainted with the canons and indifferent to the fables and j mysteries of the Greek threatre, the Christim j Miriam will have far more interest than the | Pagan Inn. For the former touches a chord . in the common mind; it reaches the religious sentiment, as it now actually exists in the j breasts of living men. It is built not upon the obsolete and repulsive notion of a stern and unbending Fate, blind to all tears and deaf to to all cries, hut upon the welcome and sus taining doctrine of an universal Providence, encircling nil in its wide embrace and over shadowing all with its love. On this ground n’ui.e, au a poem based upon Christian princi- j pies, and embodying Christian sentiments, we j anticipate fur Miriam a warm reception and a | wide diffusion among all the lovers of pure re- | ligi niftaniedtoimmorlalvcr.se. [Bos. A«ih£> Extract srom a i.r.rrt:?. or L.\nv Mary! Montauik. Lo.ndo.v, May, iTfH — There is! no news to be sent to you from this place, j v. Inch lias been for this fortnight and continues overwhelmed with politics, and which arc oi"j so mysterious a nature one ought, to have some ! ot'lhe the gilds of Lilly o- Patridgc to be able j to write about them ; an l I leave all these dis- j sort itions to those distinguished mortals who | arc endowed by the spirit of divination; though ! I am at present the only onoof mysex who seems t to be of that opinion, the ladies having shown ! their zeal and appetite for knowledge in a most glorious manner. At the last warm de bate in the House of Lords, it was unanimous- j ly resolved there should be no crowd of un necessary auditors, consequently the fair sex j v. excluded, and the gallery destined to the j sole use of the House of Commons. Notwith-! standing which determination, «tribe of dames resolved to show, on this occasion, that neither i men nor laws could resist them. These hero- j ines were Lady Huntingtdon, the Duchess of I Qm'onbury, the Duchess of Ancastcr, Lady ' Westmoreland, Lady Cohham, Lady Charlotte j Edwin, Lady Archibald Hamilton and herj daughter, Mrs. Ke.ott, and Mrs. Pendavis, and < Lady Fiances Saundersoil.—T am thus partic- j idar in their names, since 1 look upon them to ! be the boldest assertors, and most resigned ; sufferers for liberty, I ever read of. They pre- 1 seated themselves at the dftor at P o’clock in the morning, w here Fir William Saunderson respectfully informed them the Chancellor .had made an order against their admittance. The Duchess of Queensbury, as head of the squad ron, pished at the iilbreeding of a mere law yer, and desired him to let them up stairs pri vately. After some modest refusal, he swore by G—lie would not let them in.—Her grace with a noble warmth, answered by G—they would come in, in spite of the Chancellor and the whole House. This being reported, the peers resolved to shame them out; an or der was made that the doors should not be o ipened till they had raised their siege. These Amazons now showed themselves •qualified for the duty oven of foot-soldiers; ’■.hey stood there till five in the afternoon, with out sustenance, every now and then playing! voikos ot thumps, kicks, and raps against the dqor, with so much violence that the speakers in the House were seafee heard. When the Lords were not to be conquered by this,the two Detchesses. (very well apprized of the use of stratagems in war) commanded a dead silence of half an hour; and the Cinncellor, who thought it a certain proof of their absence, < 'oinmoiwalso being very impatient to en •-***-} gave orders for the opening of the door ; up n winch they all rushed in, pushed aside! t ne: ;• competitors, and placed themselves in the t >nt rows of the gallery. They stayed there till aft er eleven, when the House rose, and du ring the donate gave applause, and showed marks o! dislike, not only by smile:; and winks i which have always been allowed In the cases,) but by noisy laughs an-I apparent contempts: which is suppose I til “ tree* reas.,a vhv poor Lord llervey .-poke i:o' , ;-;iMv. 1 beg vour; pard >n, dear madam, l’«*r tins h>ng relation : but t's :p.pos ..he t • be short on so copious a aub jce’ ; ;.n 1 you must own tins action very well' worto. of record, and 1 think not lobe parallel- I ed in any h.story, ancient.or modern. 1 look w. little iii niv own eyes, (who was at that time [ I ingloriously sitting over a tea-table,) —I hardly dare subscribe myself even Yours.” The Statue of Washington'. A few days ago we w ere walking Avitii an English friend, and proudly took him to the State House, where we showed him that monument of our State liberality, the Statue of Washing ton. This is the same gentleman, whom we introduced to our friends some weeks ago, and whom we call Mr. Craigclfie. ‘ Cos you really admire this Statue ?’ said he; wc nodded. ‘lain surprised!’ ho continued. ‘Doyou not see the inconsistency of that Ro man mantle, w hich is thrown over this Gener al’s uniform ? Fancy, now, a beardless Ro man senator, with small clothes and buckled shoes.’ ( our head gravely.) ‘ Nav then imagine a field officer, holding a'court martial, with a Roman senator’s mantle thrown over his full dress! (We smiled half sneeringly, undecided whether to approve of our friend’s remarks or not We did not like to hoar such a reflection cast on our national taste. But Mr. Craigelfie is not to be inter rupted when he once begins, so he w ent on, evidently inclined to offend our personal vani ty as little as possible.) I know that Chantrey wasJiaid for it; but I very much question whether it was ever touched by that great master s chisel. Besides the bad taste origin ated in Europe. Massachusetts nobly did her duty (our countenance brightened) by employ ing Chantrey, but Chantrey did not do his du ty, when he fathered the statue. (We were soothed; he noticed it.) No, Sir, it is a dis grace to the great Sculptor, to have turned out such a piece ot work. Washington was, a character worthy of his best effort. To the marble he ought to have given everything but breath. It is true that he did not receive as much for it as ho receives for sculpturing a monument, in memory of some nobleman, who perhaps,never having done a good action in life, has left a wish to he honored in death ; know idg that by no other means than marble, his memory can lie kept alive. But even to be entrusted to make a Statue of Washington, would have beer, honor enough, without bar tering lor pay, and 1 blush for human nature, when I remember that Chantrey modelled so paltry a statue, to commemorate so great a man. Even kings w ould have applauded his generosity, had he made the State of Massa chusetts a present of his greatest, and best effort, w hich ought to have been made, in em bodying the character of the ‘Cincinnati’s of the West.’ Our friend now stopped. This [speech had awakened in us a train of patriot it reflections ;• we were too absorbed in them to make a reply. lie stood near us in silence, and we both felt a reverence for the Statue, -which has nothing to recommend it but that the State intended it to have been a likeness of the Father of his country. The tear of generous sympathy rolled down Mr. Craigcl fie’s check, he lifted up his venerable form, and stepping forward with dignity, he thus, pathetically addressed the object of our mu tual veneration, ‘?*lajestic marble, Avrapped up in a sheet, No hat upon thy head, though shoes are on thy feet, That handkerchief too tight, thy patriot neck doth gripe. As now, while living, was thy scroll rolled up like well wash’d tripe!’ Whether this w ere original, or not, we can not affirm, but the time, the manner, and the circumstances, conspired to render it effect ive. We turned our head, and with a sigh, we said, ‘how just!’ Mr. Craigelfie preserved his gravity, and we sullenly left the columned hall. [ Boston Galaxy. LADY MARY WOIITLEY MONTAGUE. Those who feel an interest in the literary history of the last century, are much indebted to (/arev, Lea &■ Blanchard of Philadelphia, for the publication of the late edition of her letters, and other writings, by her descendant, LordYVharncliffe. The memory of this lady has been piously embalmed for the instruction of posterity, by the keen sarcasm of Pope, tiie unmitigated and not very scrupulous hatred of Horace Walpole, aid the solemn sneers of Dr. Johnson ; to say nothing of a host of others, eacli of w hom in his own way, lias avenged, either in prose or verse, his real or imagined injuries. Fite appears to have gained the ill will of Walpole by her portraits, which are any tiling but flattering, of his mother and oth er relatives. In what way she displeased Johnson, does-not precisely appear, though her private letters betray very liule regard for his writings: but the history of her intimacy and subsequent wrangling w ith the “wicked wasp of Twickenham,” is abundantly well known.— Fhe was evidently a woman oi’ admirable tal ent, united with a reasonable portion of infirm ity. In early life, she was equally remarkable for her beauty, and literary attainments, but appears to have attached rather too much im portune? to the one, and to have converted the other into a formidable engine of wrath and satire. Her affections were never w arm ; her love-letters have the air of a correspondence relating to a mercantile speculation ; and by this coldness of heart, her wit and carcosm, were let! to display themselves without icserve, to the infinite annoyance of all those who were exposed to them. There is a moral in her history worthy the notice of all, and they are many, who pique themselves upon a turn for ridicule; those who smile at the wit, abominate tiie jester; and as they are apt to constitute a decided majori ty, will eventually doom the satirist to the fate of a personage of antiquity, who was put to death with pins. She left England to reside in Italy, for many years before her death, having arranged an amicable separation from her hus band. It would seem as if the loss of her beauty induced her to this step ; as if was her usage there, to receive her English friends in a mask and domino, and in one of her later letters she declares that she has not looked into • a mirror for-eleven year-, and never shall again. The letters, w ritten during’ this jierloiT, though less spirited than those relating to tiie Turkish embassy, are superior in style, and better in point of sqntiment. Upon the w hole, she leaves upon the reader the impression ol a person of masculine understanding, not over burdened with amiable qualities, with too much wit for her own jknuc, or the comfort of her neighbors. Her character deserves to be studied in her writings, by those who are cu rious to understand the literary history of her time, iri which she occupies, in almost solitary state, the post of “ohat dangerous tiling, a fe male wit and there is abundant amusement in tiie study, to recompense one for tiie labor, jilod Mer. Jour. A pret'y woman, who was tediously loquac ious, complained one day to Madame do Sevigne that she was sadly tormented by her lovers. K)h, Madame’ said Madame de Sevigne to her, with a smile, ‘it is very easy to get rid of them: you luiaujidy to speak.’ BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. The Broken Flower.—l walked out in 'he morning, when the mild spring had spread j her verdant mantle upon the fields and called forth the blossoms and the bud—when; fee I green shrub was expanding its leaves like the , wings of the newly fledged bird, and the rills 1 leaping gladly along in the sunlight and I marked and enjoyed the freshness and beauty j of the scene ; but a little flowret that bloomed , lonely by the pathway arrested my attention, | and 1 turned inside to contemplate its hues and : admire the delicacy of its form. It was lovely vet meek, and rich with fragrance, whicli it i thing upon the light wings of the passing j w ind ; and I thought it an emblem of a young j and guilless heart, it stood so unprotected lin its innocence. I would not plume it, at i though it looked so fair and inviting, but lot' llt blodsn upon its .slender stern, to meet -rite : sight of the next passer by, and charm him | with its sweetness. I returned in the evening and sought for the gentle flower; but the cruel tread oi’ the heedless stranger had been upon it and crush ed it, and it lay on the ground broken and bleeding, unnoticed and alone. And I thought it, as it lay thus before me, an emblem of the human heart, when its delicate pride had been wounded by the thoughtless or the designing, who pass on their way and leave the stricken one to morn in the silent desolation of the breast. I moralized on the fate of the dying flower, and received from it a lesson that sunk deep into my mind. It taught me that only the great, tiie wealthy are secure from aggression iike this ; and that their claims and preten sions are acknowledged and respected, whilst the innocent, and the unpretending, are slight ed and despised, and their merits unseen and unrewarded. Yet let not the proud one exult in the ascendancy which fictitious advantages may have given him, nor the child of indigence lament the lowness of his lot; for peace and contentment may visit the cottage, when they shun the lordly mansion, and the cares and discontents of the rich are excluded from the quiet hearth-sides of the poor—while even a midst his bitterest repiniftgs, the oppressed may find a consolation ; lie knows that the J wave of time is sweeping onward forever ; man may wish to stay its course, when the heaven j above him is unclouded and that all the myri- i ad barks which crowd its bosom will alike * he j dashed upon the shore of oblivion, and their shattered wrecks sink beneath the sacrifice of its waters. A crier of a neighboring county court was, j upon a certain occasion, required to go to the court house door, and, as is usual in the ab- i seiicc of a witness, cull out for Philip Logue, j one of the sons of Erin, avlio rvas summoned in a certain case then pending. The man of the button, accordingly stepping to the door, sung out at the top of his voice, “Philip Logue!” AAvag of a lawyer, happening, to be passing the door at the time,whispered in his ear, “Ep ilogue, also.” “Epi Logue,” sung out the cri er. “Decalogue,” said the lawyer in an tinder tone. “Deca Logue,” again sung out the cri er at the top of his voice. “Apologue,” w his pered the lawyer. “Apo Logue,” reiterated the crier, atthe same time expostulating with tire lawyer, “yen certainly want the whole family of the Logucs.,’ Prologue,” said the persevering lawyer. “Pro Logue,” rung a gain through the halls of the court house, from the stentorian lungs of the public erier.attvact ing the attention of every body, and shocking even the tympnmin of the dignitaries on the bench themselves, who not understanding the cause of his vociferousness, despatched the sheriff, with all haste, to stop the constable from his further summonses of the family of the Logues. A Running Gypsy.— Avery singular char acter is existing at present in the neighbor hood of Leatherhead, in the person of a boy known commonly as Jack the gipsy, he is a bout fifteen years of ago, and his activity, is surprising; he will commonly follow the hounds on foot, and I!) times out of 20 comes in at the death ; he leaps fences and hedges actually as high as himself, never wears shoes or stockings,and has several times run upwards of forty miles right cut. lie frequently amu ses himself by running (barefooted of course) for miles on the turnpike-road, beside the coaches or mail. He has lately been backed to run against the Leatherhead coach from that place to !>on don, to rest until the afternoon, and run back ; the odds are in favor of the boy. Home gen tlemen in the vicinity of Epsom have taken notice of this lad ; hut he is a w anderer by na ture, and cartnot be tamed down to regular hours, regular diet, or tiie decency of shoes and stockings ; his greatest luxury is in roving where and wdien he pleases, and his epicurism extends only to boiling hedgehogs in milk— a dish lie prefers to all others. The above statement can be verified in every particular. [Leeds Times. Curious. —-The New York Mercantile says; “A person exhibit ’d at our office yesterday, the skis of the right side ofa human face. The ear, cheeks, eyes, nos*, mouth, and chin w ere perfect. It appeared as if it had undergone some eheinic.il preparation ; for it was net of fensive to the smell. We understand that ft was washed up on the Battery—that the heart, great part of the lungs, and some fingers were jalso left liv the tide—but that the boys picked them up and ran array with them. The heart was said to be firm, and the lungs sound.— We presume some of the young disciples of Esculapius can account for it—and that is 1 part of the remains of some convict delivered 1 over to their knives, and when done with j thrown into the sea, which she has again dis j gorged ; for even the fishes would not eat | them.” A Yankee in Charleston, some tori years ago, , advertised a .theatrical i ntertainment, consist ! ing of a three in one act entitled‘The cat let ! out of the bag.’ A large audience assembled, and waited in anxious expectation ; at last,. in | walked the actor with a bag in hi* hand. He laid down the bag, untied it, and clapping-his ! hands cried scut, and out jumped a cut. Ho.no uproar ensued. He made a speech—‘Hue! not,’ said ho, ‘fulfilled the promise of the ad vertisement? Is not this a farce—is it no! in one act—is not the cat let out of tiie bag ?’ Ho saving, lie marched off with the cash in his pocket.

A writer in a late number 1 of the Richmond Enquirer, thus revives the ree | ollection of one of the most gallant actions, | which w ere fought during the last Avar with j Great Britain. “The exploring and surveying expedition to ! tiie Pacific Ocean and South seas, authorized |by an act of Congress of the last session, will j be interesting to the cause of Literature, coin- I inerec and science throughout the world. You tare aware that the President has selected to ■ command this expedition Capt T. Ap. Cates by Jones, of the American Navy. Jones was with Gen. Jackson, as you will recollect, when a very young officer at New Orleans, in 1814, and acted a most distinguished part upon Lake Borgue, as commander of our gunboats upon that station. lie kept the British squardron at bay for two weeks, upon that lake, with liis.live gun-boats arid 180 men, at a most important crisis, immediately preceding the landing of the British army, on the 2&1 December, 1814. lie could not be approached by the British in their frigates, and they hesitated to attack him in open bunts. The attack was hoAvever, finally made, in boats manned by 1200 men whom Jones fought for t\A'o hours. With his 180 men he killed and Avoundcd 400 of the British. The boat he com manded Alois HO minutes engaged in nearly close quarters, and maintained her quarters, un til he was shot doAvn himself, arid nearly every man on board was either killed or wounded, lie was put under the hatches w hen taken,where he Avas nearly suffocated with smoke, and after wards suffered greatly with his wounds on board the enemy’s squardron. Such is the man the President has selected, avitii a full knowledge of his character, to conujiand this important expedition. You know Capt. Jones and his whole race in Virginia. lie is the neph ew of Meriwether and Skelton Jones, formerly of Richmond, Virginia—so well known for their chivalry of character and superior intel lectual endowment—Ot’the first the celebra ted John Randolph said that‘lie was at once the spear and the shield of the republican part v, in the darkest hour of the American Govern ment’ May success and fame attend the exploring expedition of Capt.

This paper is made up from the Daily Herald with such additional matter, in the shape of stories, legends, poetry, statement.: tis the- markets,anrlsuch information respecting sales as may he deemed advantageous to the yeomanry of the land.

TO say that this is a reading age, implies a desire for instruction, and the means to gratify that desire, on the first point, all are n grecd ; on the second, there is diversity both of opinion and practice. We hare newspa pers, magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets of all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have severally their classes of reader • and support ers. And yet copious as are these means of intellectual supply, more are still needed. In addition to the reviews of the day and passing notices of books, the people in large numbers, in all parts of our great republic crave the session of the books themselves, and details, beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress of d'seovery in art and science. But though it be easy to ascertain and express their wants, it is not so easy’ to gratify them. Expense, dis tance from the emporium of literature, engross ing occupations which prevent personal appli cation of even messages to libraries and book sellers. are so many causes to keep people a way from the feast of reason and the enjoyment of the covered literary aliment. It is the ob ject of the publishers of the Library to obviate these difficulties, and to enable every individ ual, at a small cost and without any personal effort, to obtain for his own use and that of his favored friends or family, valuable works, com plete. on all the branches of useful and popular literature, and that in a form adapted to tla comfort of the reader. The charm of variety, as far as it is compati ble with morality and good taste, will be held constantly in view in conducting the Library, to fill the pages of which the current literature ot Great Britain, in all its various departments of biography, history, travels, novels and poe try, shall be freely put under contribution.— Witli perchance occasional exceptions, it. is in tended to give entire the work which shall be selected for publication. When circumstances authorize the measure, recourse will be had to the literary stores of Continental Europe, and translations made from French, Italian or Ger man, as the case may be. . ’ Whilst the body of the work will be a reprint, or at times a translation of entire volumes, the cover will exhibit the miscellaneous character of :t magazine, and consist of sketches of men and things, and notices of novelties in literature and the arts throughout the civilized world.— A full and regular supply of the literary, month ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain and Ireland, in addition to home periodicals of a similar character, cannot fail to provide am ple materials for this part of our work. The resources and extensive correspondence of the publishers are the best guarantee for the continuance of the enterprize in which they are about to embark, as well as for the abun dance of tiie materials to give it value in the eyes of the public. As far as judicious selec tion and arrangement are concerned, reader® will it is hoped, have reason to be fully satisfi ed, as the editor of the Library is not a stran ger to them, but lias more than once obtained their favorable suffrages for his past literary efforts. TERMS.
