But if you do, you’ll "do or die,”
And sin, if just to be forgiv en!
You’d know her name !— ‘tie very fair—

Bhe sang; the “air ’’ with love was burning;
Bhe smil’d ; the "world” was at her feet—

One glance — we needed not a word—

PENCILLINGS BY THE WAY.
LONDON.
The poet Moore—last clays of Sir Wal
ton Scott—Moore’s opinion of O'Con
nell-—Anacreon at the piano.
I called on Moore with a letter of in
troduction, and met him at the door ol
his lodgings. I knew him instantly
from the pictures I had seen of him, but
was surprised at (hedimiimtivcness of his
persol. He is much below the middle
size, and with his white hat and long
chocolate frock-coat, was far from pre
posssssing in his appearance. With
this material disadvantage, however, his
addiess is gentlemanlike to a very mark
ed degree, and I should think no one
could see Moore without conceiving a
very strong liking for him. As I was to
meet him at dinner, 1 did not detain him.
In the moment’s conversation that passed,
he inquired very particularly after
Washington Irving, expressing for him
the warmest friendship, and asked what
Cooper was doing.
I was at Lady Blessinglon’s at eight.
Moore had not arrived, but'the oilier
persons of the party —a Russian count,
who spoke all the languages of Europe as
well as his own; a Roman banker, whose
dynasty is more powerful than the pope’s;
a clever English nobleman, and the “ ob
served of all observers,” Count D’Orsav,
stood in the window upon the park, kill
ing, as they might, the melancholy twi
light half hour preceding dinner.
“Mr. Moore!” cried the footman at
thebottoin ofthe staircase. “Mr. Moore!”
cried the footman at the top. And with
his ((lass at his eye, stumbling over an
ottoman between his near-sightedness
and the darkness of the room, enter the
poet Hall a glance tells you that he is
at home on a carpet. —Sliding his little
feet up to Lady Biessington, (of whom
he was a lover when she was sixteen, and
to whom some of the sweetest of his songs
were written,) he made his compliments,
with agayety and an ease combined with
a kind of worshipping deference that
was worthy of a prime-minister at the
court of love. With the gentlemen, all
of whom he knew, he had the frank, mer
ry manner of a confident favourite, and
he was greeted like one. He went from
one to the other, straining back his head
to look up at them, (for, singularly e
nough, every gentleman in the room'was
*ix Teet high and upward,) and to everv
one he said aomethmg which, from any
one else, would have seemed peculiarly
felicitous, but which fell from his lips a 's
if his breath was not more spontaneous.
Dinner was announced, the Russian
handed down “miladi,” and I found
myself seated opposite Moore, with a
jilaze of light on his Bacchus head, and
the mirrors with which the superb octa
gonal room is pannelled reflecting every
jnotiop. Jo see him only at table, you
would think him not a small man. His
principal length is in his body, and his
head and shoulders are those of a much
laner person. Consequently he tilt tall,
and with the peculiar erectness of head
and neck, his diminutiveness disappears.
The soup vanished in the busy silence
(jiat beseems it, and as the courses com
menced their procession, Lady Blessing
ton led the conversation with the brillian
cy and ease for which she is remarkable
over all the women of her time. She had
received from Sir William Gell, at Na
ples, the manuscript of a volume upon
the last days of Sir Waller Scott. It
was a melancholy chronicle of imbecility
and the book was suppressed, but there
were two or three circumstances narra
ted in itj pages which were interesting.
Soon after his arrival lit Naples, Sir Wal
ton went with his physician and one or
two friends to the great museum. Jt
happened that on the same day h large
collection of students and Italian literati
were assembled, in one of the rooms, to
discuss some newly discovered manu
scripts. It, was soon known that the
“ W i/.ard of the North” was there, and a
deputation was sent immediately to re
quest him to honour them by presiding
at their session. At this time Scott was
a wreck, with a memory that retained
nothing for a moment, and limbs almost
as helpless as an infant’s. He was drag
, ging about among the relicks of Pompeu,
taking no interest in any thing he saw,
when there request was made Known to
’ him through his physician. “ No. no,”
said, he “I know nothing of their lingo.
Tell (hem i am not well enough to come.”
Me loitered on, and in about half ?.n hour
after, he turtiftil to Dr. H. and said, “ who
was that you said wanted to see me f”
The doctor explained. “ I’ll go,” said
be, “ they shall see me if they wish it;”
and against the advice of his friends, who
feared it would be too much for his
strength, he mounted the staircase, and
made his appearance at the door. A
burst of entnusiastick cheers welcomed
him on the threshold, and forming in two
lines, many of them on their knees, they
seized his hands ns he passed, kissed
(hem, thanked him in their passionate
language for the delight with which he
had filled the world, and placed him in
the chair with the most fervent expres
sions of gratitude for his condescension.
The discussion went on, but not under
standing a syllable of the language, Scott
was soon wearied, and his friends ob
serving it, pleaded the state of hie health
as an apology and he rose to take his
leave. These enthusinstick children of
the south crowded once more around him,
and with exclamations of affection and
even tears, kissed his hands once more,
assisted his tottering steps, and sent after
Inin a confused murmur of blessings as
(he door closed on his retiring form. It
is described by the writer as (lie most ul
fecting scone he had ever witnessed.
Some other remarks were made upon
Scott, but tlie parole was soon yielded to
Moore, who gave ns an account of a visit
he made to Abbotsford when its illustri
ous owner was in his pride and prime.—
“ Scott,” he said, “ was the most manly
and natural character in (he world. You
felt vlien with him, that he was the soul
of truth and heartiness. His hospitality
was as simple and open as the day, and
he lived freely himself, and expected his
guests to do so. 1 remember nis giving
us whiskey at dinner, and Lady Scott
met my look of surprise with the assur
ance that Sir Walter seldom dined with
out it. He never ate or drank to excess,
but he had no system, his constitution
was herculean, and lie denied himself
nothing. 1 went once from a dinner
party with Sir Thomas Lawrence to meet
Scott at Lockharts. We had hardly en
tered (he room when we were set down
to a hot supper of roast chickens, salmon,
punch, etc. etc., and Sir Walter ate im
mensely of every thing. What a con
trast between tins and the last time I saw
him in London ! lie had come down to
embark for Italy—broken quite down in
mind and body. He gave Mrs. Moore a
Iwok, and 1 asked him if he would make
it. more valuable by writing in it. He
thought 1 mount that he should write
Verses, and said, ‘oh I do not write
poetry now.’ I asked him to write only
nis own name and hers, and he attempted
it, but it was quite illegible.”
Some one I’emarked that Scott’s life of
Napoleon was a failure.
“ I think little of it,** said Moore; “but
after all, it was an embarrassing task,
and Scott did .what a wise man would do
. —made as much of his subject as was
, politick and necessary, and no more.”
“It will not live, ’’ said some one else;
i “ns much because it is a bud book, as
L because it is the life of an individual.”
“ But what an individual!” Moore re
. plied—“ Voltaire’s life of Charles the
• twelfth was the life of an individual, yet
, that will live and be read as long as there
i is a book in the world, and what was he
: to Napoleon i”
; O’Connell was mentioned.
“He is a powerful creature,” said
, Moore, “bat his eloquence lias done
(treat harm both to England and Ireland.
There is nothing so powerful us oratory.
The faculty of ‘thinking on hie legs’ js
a tremendous engine in the hands of any
’ man. There is an undue admiration
i for this faculty, and a sway permitted to
» it, which wns'always more dangerous to
s a country than any thing else. Lord Al
e thorp is a wonderful instance of what a
e mar, may Ao without talking. There is a
e general confidence in him—a universal
t belief in his honesty, which serves him
1 instead. Peel is a fine speaker, but, acl
s mirable as he had been as an opposition
, ist, he failed when he came to lead the
i house. O’Connell would be irresistible
t were it not for the two blots on his char
i acter —the contributions ifi Ireland for
1 his support, and his refusal to give satis
- faction to the man he is still coward e
l nough to attack. They may say what
i they will of duelling, it is the great pre-
I server of the decencies of society. The
old school, which made a man responsible
i for his words, was the better. I must
confess I think so. Then, in O’Connell’s
case, he had not made his vow against
■ duelling when Peel challenged him. He
> accepted the challenge, and Peel went
to Dover on his way to France, where
i they were to meet; and O’Connell plea
i ded his wife’s illness, and delayed till
t the law interfered. Some other Irish pa
i triot, about the same time, refused a chal
• lenge on account of the illness of his
f daughter, and one of the Dublin wits
i made a good epigram on the two:
i “ Some man, with a horror of slaughter,
) Improve on the scripture command,
I And ‘ honour their’ wife end daughter
‘ That their days may be long in the land.”
I The great period of Ireland’s glory was
• between ’B2 and ’9B, and it was a time
when a man almost lived with a pistol in j
his hand. Grattan’s dying advice to his 1
son, was, * Be always ready with the pis
tol !’ He himself never hesitated a mo
mnnt. At one time, there was a kind
of conspiracy to tight him out ofthe world.;
On some famous question, Corrie was
employed purposely to bully him, and
made a personal attack of the grossest
virulence. Grattan was so ill, at the
time, as to be supported into the house
between two friends. He rose to reply;
and first, without alluding to Corrie at
all, clearly and entirely overturned every
argument he had advanced that bore up
on the question. He then paused a ino
ment, and stretching out his arm, as il he
would reach across the house, said, ‘ for
i the assertions the gentleman has been j
pleased to make with regard to myself, j
1 my answer here is thei) arc false I else
. where it would be —a blow?’ They
met, and Grattan shot him through the
■ arm, Corrie proposed another shot, but
[ Grattan said, ‘No! let the curs fight it I
1 out!’and they were friends ever alter. I
t like the old story of the Irishman wliot
■ was challenged by some desperate black
, guard. ‘ Fight him /’ said lie, ‘ 1 would j
, sooner go to my grave without a light 1’
i Talking of Grattan, is it not wonderful
1 that, with all the agitation in Ireland, we
. have had no such men since his time r
’ Look at the Irish newspapers. The
r whole country in convulsion —people’s
> lives, fortunes and religion at stake, and
’ not a gleam of talent from one year’s end
i to the other. It is natural for sparks to
’ be struck out in a time of violence like
> this—but Ireland, for all that is worth
i living for, is dead! You can scarcely
I reckon Shiel of the calibre of her spirits
, of old, and O’Connell, with all his faults,
I stands ‘ alone in his glory.”
> The conversation 1 have thus run to
r nether is a mere skeleton, of course.
1 Nothing but a short hand report could re
; tain the delicacy and elegance of Moore’s
■ language, and memory itself cannot im
i Imdy again (he kind of frost-work ofima
. gerv which was formed and melted on
, hislips. His voice is soft or firm as the
subject requires, but perhaps the word
gentlemanly describes it better than any
■ other. It is upon a natural key, but, if I
i may so praise if, it is fused with a higlt
i bred affectation, expressing deference
and courtesy, at the same time that its
, pauses are constructed peculiarly to
i catcli the ear. It would be difficult not
, to attend to him while he is talkins,
• through the subject were but the shape of
i a wine-glass.
L Moore’s head is distinctly before me
. while I write, but I shall find it difficult
to describe. His hair, which curiedtmce
t all over it in long tendrils, unlike any
) body clse’s in (he world, and which pro
t bably suggested his soubriijuet of “ Bac
. elms,” is diminished now to a few curls
. sprinkled with gray, and scattered in a
■ single ring above. liis ears. His forehead
is wrinkled, with the exception of a most
prominent devclopemerit of the organ of
gayetv, which, singularly enough, shines
i with the lustre and smooth polish of a
j pearl, and is surrounded by a semicircle
; of lines drawn close about it, like iu
t trenchmcnts against Time. Ilia eyes
. still sparkle like a champaign bubble,
though the invader has drawn his pen
, cillings about the corners; and there is
, a kind of wintry red, of the tinge of an
f October leaf, that seems enamelled on
. his cheek, the eloquent record ofthe cla
ret his wit lias brightened. His mouth
is the most characferistick feature of all.
The lips are delicately cut, slight and
changeable as an aspen; but there is a
set-up look about the lower lip, a deter
mination of the muscle to a particular
expression, and you fancy that you can
almost see wit astride upon it. It is
written legibly with the imprint of habit
ual success. It is arch, confident and
hall diffident, as it lie were disguising his
pleasure at applause, while another bright
gleam of fancy was breaking on him.
The slightly-tossed nose confirms the
fun ofthe expression, and altogether it is
a face that that sparkles, beams, radiates
—every thing hut feels. Fascinating be
■ ynnd all men as he is, Moore looks like a
worldling.
This description may be supposed to
have occupied the hour after Lady Bles
sington retired from the table ; for, w ith
her, vanished Moore’s excitement, and
every body else seemed so feel that light
; had gone out of the room. Her exces
i sive beauty is less an inspiration than the
wondrous talent with which she draws,
. from every person around her, his pecu
, liar excellence. Talking better than
any body else, and narrating, particular
ly, with agraphick power that I never
, saw excelled, (his distinguished woman
seems striving only to make others unfold
themselves : and never had diffidence a
more apprehensive and encourngeing lis
tener. But this is a subject with which 1
should never be done.
Wc went up to coffee, and Moore
; brightened again over Ins chasse-cafe, and
• went glittering on with criticisms on
i Grisi, the delicious songstress now ra
i visiting the world, whom he placed above
, all but Pasta; and whom he thought, with
. exception (hat her legs were too short,
t an incomparable creature. This intro

and I have no time to describe his sing
, ing. It is well known, however, that its
. effect is only equalled by (he beauty of
. his own words; and, for one, I could
have taken him into my heart with my
■ debght. He makes no attempt at music.
It is a kind of admirable recitative, in
which every shade of thought is syllabled
1 and dwelt upon, and the sentiment of the
• 80n g g oes through your blood, warming
- you to the very eyelids, and siartingyour
. tears, if you have soul or sense in you. I

t BWe red by chance to a secret in the bosom
. ofthe listener, I should think, from its
t comparative effect upon so old a stager
i as myself, that the heart would break
. with it.
i W e all sat around the piano, and after
, two or three songs of Lady Blessington’s
. choice, he rambled over the keys awhile
i and sang “ When first I met thee,” with
a pathos that beggars description. When
the last word had faltered out, he rose
and took Lady Blessington’s hand, said
good-night, and was gone before a word
was uttered. For a full minute after he
had closed the door no one spoke. I
could have wished, tor myself, to drop
silently asleep where I sat, with the tears
in my eyes and the softness upon my
heart.

HIBIILV IMPORTANT PROM PRANCE.
EocsDinr Oizettf. Office, 5
Calais, April 17. 5
By the brig Mung, wliich arrived at St An
drews on Wednesday last, in 17 days from Li
verpool, we learn that the French Chambers of
Deputies dissolved without making the appro
priation for the payment of the American claim.
The Mung brings Liverpool dates up to March
29th.
The above we received yesterday morning, in
a slip from the office of the Boundary Gazette.
Thom are many reasons for believing it true.
Our readers will remember that the 21st ofMarch
was the day assigned for the discussion of the
American Indemnity bill in the Chamber of De
puties. Our latest advices from Pans, previous
to the above, do not cover the proceedings of the
21st. The last accounts slated that the bill
would meet considerable opposition, but not e
nough, probably, to cause its rejection. This
was the condition of the question. Between that
time and the twenty sixth—allowing three days
lor the transmission of intelligence from Paris to
Liverpool—the House might well have acted ou
the Bill, rejected it, and have been in consequence
dissolved.
This is made more probable from the fact that
■ Mr. Livingston’s gossiping teller to the President
probably reached Franco at this precise period.
This would alone have been sufficient to lead to
! the rejection of the Bill. This result was antici
pated on the first promulgation of that letter in
! this country. The Courier and Enquirer of the
• 271 hof February has the following comment, in
connection with some observations on the intelli
gence then just received:
“ Tiie Committee of the Chambers to whom
1 this subject has been referred had determined not
to report until a thorough investigation of the
whole had been made, and then it was supposed
a warm and protracted debate would ensue.
In the mean lime Mr. Livington’s letter to the
President will arrive in France, and all hopes of
an amicable adjustment will vanish in an in
stant.”

After the race was over, he mounted a horse
and rode round the course, seeming very little dis
tressed by his exertions. He received SI3OO for
his trouble, and an additional sum of S2OO was
given by the Jockey Club to each of the other
two who completed the distance. The day was
fine, although the wind, which blow strongly on
the course, was unfavorable to the runners. A
paper was handed to the president of the Club,
during the proceeding of the days, stating that two
native Americans were willing to attempt to walk
500 miles without eating or drinking, as soon as
a purse of SSOO should be made up.
Slaunard is a native of Killingsworlh, Connec

pect unique, as that of old Ephraim Stannard.

Bermuda papers to the Bth inst, have been re
ceived at Norfolk. One of them notices the re
marks contained in this paper on the subject of
the outrage committed by the authorities at that
place, in forcibly taking from the Brig Enter
prizo a number of slaves, in a manner that does
little credit to their sense of justice. The Editor
states that he was confident “the liberation of
these slaves would cause great excitement in tile
southern and slave-owning States,” and we can
assure him that he was not mistaken—and further
inform him, that this excitement docs not exist
in the “Slave-owning” states alone, but that the
outrage is condemned by the press generally,
throughout the whole country. The right of
property in slaves, is guaranteed by our Con
stitution, and the citizens of the Union, we can
assure this sneering editor, are net disposed to al
low any government to interfere with their in
stitutions. We learn from this paper, that the
British Government have been placed in the pos
session of all the circumstances —but the belief
is expressed, that any application for redress, will

THE Trustees of the Pendleton Academy
are under the necessity of giving notice,
that on the first of May the place of Principal of
that Institution will be again vacant. They are
desirous of letting the building, a two-story brick
house, large and commodious, to a gentleman pos
sessing the requisite qualifications, who may be
disposed to take it on his own responsibility, with
the view of building up a school, No situation in
the State, or the southern country, unites more
advantages, for a Seminary of learning. For
health, cheapness of living, and freedom from
dissipation and immoralitythe neighborhood is
‘ unsurpassed; and to a person well qualified as an
instructor of youth, a flattering prospect is affor

IndiaEt Vegetable Elixir.
A Sure and Safe Remedy for Rheuma
tism, acute and chronic, Gout, and all
■ Chronic pains of Bones, Joints, Muscles ,
arising from a too free use of Mercury,
• or other causes.
THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE
HAS SPOKEN I and the afflicted arc once
more called upon to listen to facts which
cannot be controverted; for a few years past the
INDIAN VEGETABLE ELIXIR has effected
more cutes in the cases it is recommended for,
than any other medicine that has ever been as
commended to the public. It is confidently re
-1 scried that in 90 cases out of 100, it has had the
S ired effect in removing Rheumatism, Gout,
Rains in the Bones, Joints and Muscles. A few
’ 0 f a great many proofs are herewith submitted.
1 So important is it always to have it at hand, that
every family would do well to keep it by them in
case of nead. So effectual has the Vegetable In
dian Elixir proved in all those cases in which it is
recommended, that the proprietor feels authorised
to state, it will effect a cure in ninety cases out of
i a hundred, when taken according to tire printed
! directions accompanying each Bottle.—The Elixir
t is composed entirely of Vegetable in gradients,
, and may be taken without the least risk or injury
' to tiro constitution. It is unnecessary to say more
! in favor of this invaluable Remedy j too many in
this community have already been cured by it, for
! its virtues long to remain unknown, and it must,
and will become the universal resort of the afflic
ted here, as it has done in other places. For the
further satisfaction of those who may feel dispos
ed to doubt the efficacy ol this medicine, tire fol
owing Certificates are submitted: Its reputation,
however, is now eslablishod in every neighbor
hood in South Carolina, and hundreds of our most
respectable citizens can testify to its truly admira
r ble qualities.
> Who can doubt the efficacy oftke Indian
r Vegetable Elixir.
1 This is to certify, that I, the subscriber, have
for several years past, at stated periods, been
grievously afflicted with rheumatism, and have at
. intervals been confined to my house unable to at
tend my ordinary avocations. I had resorted to
the common remedies, without obtaining relief
Hearing of the value of Dr. Fitch’s medicine, I
applied to him for the same, and have, as I trust,
by the efficacy of his Indian Vegetable Elixir, been
perfectly cured. On one occasion I was for more
’ than a month in such a situation, that I could not
' move my limbs without assistance, and by making
use of ono bottle, was restored. At another time
I was for the space of three weeks unable to leave
’ my house, and by the use of ono bottle was again
’ relieved. I therefore recommend cordially, and
J with great confidence, this invaluable specific to
those who are afflicted with Rheumatic com
plaints. WM. BARCLAY.

( Elixir on my daughter since I last, saw you. I

for several years. I deem it my duty to make
