la entering Glasgow 1 was struck with its
magnitude. a.rgyie-st., wnere we tod,c, seems

Nor was my surprise at ail muiiuisueu Upon
learning that Glasgow is a city ul over 3uu,uuu

At Obe point you bud a ultnd bag-Pipet, ana

1 saw, in a crowded street, in passing t»u blocks,
or less than a quarter ul a mile, alt uiese music
al appeals tor charity. And each supplicant
had tueir groupe ot admirers, and eacu receive
more or less tor the music they discoursed.
1 huugn Glasgow has a population nearly as
large as New York, it bears no comparison to
our great Metropolis in otfiet respects. 1 here
are a few tine streets with sp .clous grann
buildings, occupied by ber opulent meicuauts
ana manuiactur. rs. But tbe city dues not cover
half the territory tuat New Yu.lt occupies, nui
are there hall as many buildings here as there.
The Poorer classes are nuauleu tugctiier in the
same building, each ' Hat” (as they call slot les)
having its nan dozen tenants.
Glasgow owes mucn ot’its prosperity to the
wisdom and enterprise of her merchants, who
have, by excavations, actually created a ship
navigation lor themselves, borne thirty years
ago ute Clyde was only navigable tor vessels to
Port Glasgow, some Id miles below. Flat-bot
tomed boats with uiificulty made their way here.
Now, me Hat nor oi Glasgow is tilled wiiu large
Brigs, Schooners and steamboats. But the
navigation terminates abruptly at the point
where the excavations cease. Above the Bridge,
Wiikh the bowsprits bl tue vessels touch, th.ie
is scarcely water enuugn to Uvat a canoe or turn
an over-shot mill wheel.
Scotland, you Know, is distinguished for its
observance oi the Sabbath. t here are no modes
of conveyance here on bun-ay. Rail-w-ys,
Steamers and Coaches rest on the Sabb-t...
This morning (Sunday) the streets and man
that were so thronged last night, and in widen
there was all the noise and contusion of Babel,
are now totally deserie No sound trom voice
or lootstep is heard. Even upon trie Quay,
where Luulere “most do c-jngregaie,” there is
silence and solitude.
The sound oi the “Church g ingbell,” how
ever. put every body in motion. And now the
the teeming 1 stree.s reminded me of Albany,
whose Churches are as well attended as any in
the World. 1 mingled in this stream of human
beingsand was wafted—where I have o.ten and
anxiously wished myself—to the iron Chchch;
but the voice of one upon whuseeloquent teach
ing tens of thousands have founded their faith,
is no longer beard there. 1 should have esteem
ed it a great privilege to hear the Bev. Dr. Chal
mers.
The singing is conducted here as it was with
us twenty years ago, the Leader standing in a
desk in front of the Pulpit, anl instead of a
Choir, in the Gallery, the congregation partici
pates in this part of the exercises. The Leader
. indicates the music by displaying on either side
ot him a narrow panel on which its name is
painted, thus‘“Devizes,” before the ser-.on,
and anerwards, “Arnold.”
Yottare aware that the Church of Scotland is
just now painfully distracted. The convulsion
is universal, and the ev.ls, 1 tear, will prove as
lasting as they are pervading. Congregations
are broken up. Brethren are divided. Chil
dren arrayed against Parents. The waters cl
strife and bitterness are poisoning the religious
communion ..nd intercom se by which Scotland
has so lung been distinguished. Ttiese difficul
ties originated with the relati ms exi ting be
tween Cnu vb and State. The cleigy were de
sirous of securing to the People more power in
the selection of Pastors tban was allowed by
tiie Government. Having matured and adopt
ed what tney deemed pro, er forms of proceed
ing, a delegation proceeded to London to cooler
with the Ministry, by whom tneir proposition
was discourteously rejected. The Clergy have
Sone too lar to recede, hundreds of them have i e
nguished their churches. The followers ol
he dissenting Ministers are erecting newchutno
er. Ido not pretend to understand the merits
of this controversy, but reasoning from general
principles, it is not unsafe to assume that the
Govermnent has, like the sons of Levi, tak n
too much upon itself. Scotland is eminently
indebted to her fearless and laithtul Ministers,
in all ages, for the high civil and religious pnvi
leges sire enjoys. Nor is she less indebt d to
the learning and piety of this class ol Teachers
for tue intelligence and virtue that characterize
and adorn her People.
Glasgow is in all respects a place of much
greater importance and magnitude than I was
prepared to see. It is possible that others may
not be aware ot its claims to consideration. That
it is one of the oldest places in Bcotland is known;
that; ft was irequently devastated by fires and
scourged with pLgue and leprosy, is also known.
Up to 1775 its principal article ot commerce
and source of profit, was Tobacco, which they
imported, from the American Colonies in great
quantities and under advantageous auspices.
The Revolutionary war cut up this trade, but
not until the Glasgow merchants had made
large fortunes by it. From the Tobacco bu i
ness they turned their attention to the manufac
ture ot Cotton Goods, in which they were emi
nently successful. It is supposed that Glasgow
now employs 40,900 hand-loom weavers. They
are, it is estimated, 1,100,000 spindles now em
ployed here. Over 100,000 bales of cotton are
consumed annually. Education here, as in all
partsoi Scotland, is within the reach ol all class
es. Glasgow abounds, too, in Religious, Char
itable and Philanthropic Institutions, for th<
support of winch over £50,000, or 8250,000 is
raise.; in donations annually.
In St. George’s Square, a fine, large central
Park, is a large Monument to tue memory of
Sir vVal.ei Scott, anu statues ot Sir John >.oore,
who was a native ot Glasgow, and of John
V» aits, a native oi Greeno-k. Argyle street,
Which is known as Gallogate and > rungale at
eitnet extremity, is a broad, busy tnorougfare,
over three miles in length.

Glasgow, Aug. 9,1843.
We have just returned tium a visit to the
birth place ot nooert ou ns. vVe lingered fui
nuurs around objects maue classic by ins genius,
ibis true Fuel ur Nature has invested every
tnmg dial su irounds Ayr and Altoway wi.h an
inteiest that can never die. Every crook arid
urae and cr.,ig and "Brig,” aie the sell-erecteu
monuments to hu> memuiy ana his muse.
The Glasgow- and Ayr railway enables visi
tors to go to Alloway in three hours ana a hall
t he cottage m wnicii the Poet was born is about
miles hum Ayr. It is and lias beenoc upie,.
uyaMrs. Gouuie, (an mtelligen: ana communi
cative vid lady, who wasacquainted withbuins)
tor forty two years. The cottage, as construct
ed by the Poet’s Father, on seven acres ol ground,
mr which he bought a perpetual lease, is smau
and humble, consisting of a single room anu
kitchen. W hen the Poet’s Father rented Mount
Oliphant, a (arm near the co.tage, he sold his
seven acres to tbe Shoemaker's Corporation ul
Ayr, for £6O, tow hum Mrs. Guudie pays an
annual rent ul £45.
From the cottage wejproceeded to the “Burns’
Monument,” a very tasteful, poetic structure,
erected on the banks of the "Bonny Doon,” at
an expense of £3,300, raised uy subscription,
foregrounds around it are handsomely laid out
and adorned w itu many varieties of shrub ano
flower. Within the monument, upon the
gruund flour, is an apartment lighted from a
cupola, with stained glass, in toe centrell which
stanus a table w ith rein s ot Bums inclosed in a
glass case. Among these mementos are the
wo Biblespresenteu by the Poet to lus “High
land Mary." In the fly leaf to each volume
“Robert Burns, Mossgiel,” as written by himself,
is seen; and in the Ist Book “And ye shall not
swear by my name falsely,” and in the 2d,
“ 1 hou shall n t forswear thy sell, but shall |er
form untu the Lord thine oath-,” appear in his
h .nd writing. With these sacred volumes is a
lock of “Highland Mary’s” hair. After the
death ot Maiy Campliell, these Bibles were
given by her mother to Mis. Anderson, another
daughter, who subsequently gave one to each of
Her daughters. A son of Mrs. Anderson, who
resides in Canada, came afterwards in possess
ion of both the«e volumes, out was com t a lleu
by pecuniary misfortunes to part with them.—
1 bey were purchased lor £25 by some Scotch
genilemen at Montreal and returned to Sco.lanu
tor preservation in the monument, where they
were depo-ited on the 25th (the Poets’s birthday )
of January, 1841. The view from the monu
ment is oxe oi surpassing beau y, every bright
feature oi which has its poetic associations.—
From the monument we passed over to
“Alloway’sauid haunted Kilk,”
the walls and bell oi which alune preserved, the
wood-woik having long since been transformed
into snuff-buX’/s. Near the Kiik yard gate are
the remains of the Fuel’s Father, distinguished
by a slab un which these lines, written by Burns,
are inscribed:
‘•Oh ye whose cheek the tear of pity stains,
“Draw near with pious reverence and attend ;
“Here lie tne loving husband’s dear remains,
“The tender father, .and ihe xeiieroub friend.
“The pitying heart that fell for human woe,
“The dauntless heart that teared no human pride,
“The friend of man—m sin alone a foe,
“For e’en his failings learnt to virtue’s side.”
The tomb oi the Lord of Aliouay is in the
area ot the Kirk, and at the west corner ot the
Cemetery is a handsome mod* rn monument to
the memory ot Gen. Hughes. A lew yards far
ther west, and by the side oi the door, is. the
..Well
“Where Mango’a mither hanged hersel.”
Going south a few hundred yardsyuu come to
“Auld Brig, ’ over wuich “A’am O’ohamer” was
pursued by the witches, and still laniieron you
see
“the meikiestane
“Whare drunken Ch .rl e tna n *s neck-bane.”
A sister us Bures resides about three-quarters
ol a mile Irum the Cottage, upon whom we in
tended to call, bnt just as we bad term.uated oui
view us exteinal uijeets, ihe rain d scended in
such torrents that we were compelled tu toregu
the visit. Mrs. Guudie informed us that this
sister is a widow lady upwards of seventy, but
enjoying good health.
VVe returned to Ayr, an ancient town of much
historical interest, through which—the rain
hairing abated—we Wandered tor an hour. Ayr
shire contained a population us 145,600 in 1831,
and boasts ol having given birth to Bi uce,
Wallace and Burns. Ayrshire was also the
scene ol thegreal Eglintoun tournament in 1839.
The river Ayr abounds in t out and salmon,
i'he salmon, by the way, have never been s.
plentilul as this season.’ Immense quantities
are taken daily from Ireland and Scotland tu
England. They have been sold, where they
are taken must abundantly, lor three cents a
pound.
The Ayr “folk” have erected a noble Tower
in honor of sir William Wallace, which is
adorned with a statue ot the Scottish Uhiet by
Thom. There is another statue of Wallace in
a niche of an ancient stone building in which
he once took refuge woen haul j ressed by a su
perior force.
The Tower of St. John’s Church, erected in
the 12th centuty, but converted into an Armory
and Fortification by Oliver Cromwell, in 1653,
is a venerable relic, 'l ire Rev. John W elsti,
son-in-law ot the Reformer, John Knox, was
Pastor ot St. John’s Church in 15«>L».
But I passed these uijects with a cursory
glance tor the purpose of seeing and crossing
“Tiie Brigs ol Ayi,” whose relative claims to
consideration were so glowingly sung by
“The ainipie B ird, rough at the rustic plough,
“Learning his tuneful trade irom every bough."
While standing upon the “Auld brig,” look
ing towards its gay rival, it required but a slight
effort of the imagination to endow it with tiie
powers of speech, and tu suppose it exclaim
ing:—
“Conceited gowk ! puff’d wi’ windy pride ’
“This mony a year I’ve »tood the Hood an’ tide;
“An’ tho’ wi’ crazy eild I’m sair lorfeairn,
“i’H be a brig when ye’re a thapekhß cairn.”
And having imagined this, the supercilious
reply of the “xNfew brig” was of course heard :
“Fine Archilet tui e / trowth, I need not aay’t o’t!
“The Luid be thanhit that we’ve lint the gate o’t!
“Gaunt ghaM.y, ghaist-aliurmg edifice*,
“Hanging with threat’ning jut, like precipice* :
“.MaiDkionb that would dhgrace the budoing tante
“Ut any maaon, reptile, bird or beast."
It is a little singular that the poetic prophecy
ot Bums, tnat the Old Brig would be a Brig
w hen he new one became a “shapeless cairn,”
is about to be realized. The New Brig, since
ttie construction oi the Ayr Ilan-Way, which
-einunares near it, is found too narrow for the
increase of bi siness, and is to be taken down.
Inis Bridge Was built in 1778. 'lire OL
Bi idge was ere. ted in 1285, anil looks as if it
u-igi.t stand as much lunger.
Before leaving the “Brig,”, my attentfon was
arrested by what with us would be regarded, il
not patented, as an “improved Washing Ma
chine.”—At least a dozen u ash-tubs we re pla
ce.! along the shore ol tire r.ver Ayr, in winch
as many females, some old and ugly, anu 1 otheis
young and pretty, were “pounding Clothei.” with
their ieet! 1 ha.eheard that the Scotch lasses,
who have large “Bakings,” knead their bnead in
the same manner; tireuuthoi tuts, however, 1
cannot vouch ; but that I saw them dancm t ; it.
wasn-iubs, without stockings or gaiters, is cei
tain.
Within a mile of the village of Tarbolton,
near the river Ayr, is the scene of Bur; s’lasi
an . truly afiecting interview with Mary Camp
bell. It was ol a Sunday, in May. Their mu
tual faith was plighted, first by laving their
hands in the pure stream, and then crossing
ffiein upon Mary’s Bible. Preparatory to theii
marriage, Mary visited ber friends in Argyle
shire, and in returning, tell sick and died at
Greenock. Bums retained through lide the
mustcevoted remembrance of this early aitach
aient. Mr. Lockhart, who, Irom frequent inter
views with the wi..ow of the Poet, derived
many very interesting .acts in relation to Bums
tates among other things that many years aitei
.its marriage, and on the anniversary of ihi
;eath of “Highland Maiy,” after working hare,
ill day in th« fields, though out of health, hi
wandered into the bara-yatd, wbetehe remained
o rung 'hat Mrs. 8., alarmed at his absen e,

vtiich tie promised to do, but temained stretch
’d upon a u>as» of straw, with his eyes fixed up
ra a beautiful planet, that shone like anuthe:
:oon, until a late hour. On enteringthe housi
e cal.ed tor bis desk, and immediately wro.t

William Bums, the Poet’s Father, Is remem

but one on whom fortune besto wed more of her
Iruwns than her smiles. At bis death, the fam
ily were left entirely destitute, but soon reinov
ed'(in 1784) from Allowai to Mossgiel, where
the Poet found in Gavin Hamilton, (from him
Iris mother leased a farm) an early and generous
triend. Most of his Poems, during the three
years he resided here, trom his 25th to his 28th
year, were written.
1 am surprised in finding upon the Register
kept for visiters at the Birthplace of Burns, the
names ol but very tew Americans. In looking
back lor the last four months, I noticed the
names of three of my countrymen, one of which
was that of Professor M ussy of Boston.
The Glasgow and Ayr Railway, though un
dertaken with serious doubts of its answering
the hopes of stockholders, pioves a mos. profita
ble investment, it is fitly miles in length, and
runs through Paisley, Johnstone, Lochwinnock,
Beith, Kilbirnie, Dairy, Salicoats, Kilwinning,
kc., which are manutacturing towns; and
through Irvine, (a beautifu place,) Troon,
Monkton, Prestwick, Ayr, &c., which are upon
the sea coast, and commercial in their pursuits.
The capital stock was £520,000, most of which
was subscribed by the merchants of Glasgow.—
Forty per cent only had teen called when th
Railway was completed. Its slock is at or
above par. I ahude more partii ularlv to this
subject now for the purpose of remarking that,
but tor the circumstance that this Railway was
toapj roach the Biith-place of Burns, the stock
would not have been taken, nor would the Way
have leen constructed. This circumstance
papulariMd the enterprize. Many capitalists
ventured to take stock who, but tor the charm
which Burns has thrown around Ayr and Allo
way, would have held their hands. Nor was
this view of the question too poetical. A con
siderab.e item in the receipts ol the company is
derived from visitors to the Birth-place of
Burns.

Edinbiroh, August 9, 1843.
Leaving my friends to extend their walks in
and about Glasgow, I hastened up here for the
letiers and newspapers which I hoped to find
irum home. Nor were these hopes disappoint
ed. My letteis, with files ot the Evening Jour
nal, Aigus and Tribune, had been forwarded
irum London by the Barings, whose attentions
and kindness to all Americans are too prover
bial to render my poor acknowledgements of
any service to them. The alternoon and even
ing were joyfully devoted to the reading ol these
welcome missives. W ith the exception of a
-ingle “ccmmercial Advertiser” at Dublin, and
a file ot the “Courier & Enquirer” at Belfast, 1
..ait been three weeks without newspapers.—
t his, for one who was all but cradled in a
Printing-office, and to whom newspapers had
been a daily aliment tor more than thirty years,
was a long fast.
Edinbuigh is emphatically a Bookish city. It
is literary in all itsaspects, and if possible, in its
atmosphere. BOok-stores, Printing-offices, Pa
i er-warehouses, Print-shops, &c., with garnish
ed signs, emblazoned illustrations and ornamen
tal winduws, furnish abundant evidence that
Books constitute the staple of the commodity in
which the citizens of Edinboro’ traffic. Indeed
she has no commerce, and except in Books, veiy
little manufactures. But in Literature and the
Prutessiunai —if 1 may use another word—the
practical sciences—she long since attained, and
still retains, an elevated and enviable rank.
In 1832, the population ofEdinburgh (includ
ing Leitn, its sea-port neighbor,) was 1G4,909,
since which there lias been no comparative in
crease. Ol this number 7462 were either Pro
fessional men or persons engaged in Banking;
while Glasgow, with a much larger population,
had but 2723 Prolessional men and Bankers,
though it employed 19,913 of its citizens (exclu
ding o| erati es) in manufactures, while Edin
buign gave employment, in this way, to but 792
of her citizens. Edinburgh depends, for its pros
perity, almost entirely upon its Literary, Judi
cial and Educational pursuits and institutions.
In all ih- se elements and sources of refined en
joyment, rather than of wealth, she is eminently
endowed, in Medicine, Law and Theology,
(out more especially the two former) Edinburgh
has been the Gam liel at whose icet the most
eminent u.en of E gland and America were
brought up.
It is estimated shat the members of the legal
prolessiun loim one-third of the population in
the higher and middle ranks of the society ol
E anbuiough.—There are over 450 members of
tue “Advocates Faculty,” many ol whom have,
However, retired from tbe practice ol the proles
fession. I'tie “Waters to the Signet” Society
numbers about 700 members, of whom nearly
500 are in practice.
Edinburuugh has no poverty, no loathsome
ness, no dilapidated, w indowl :ss abodes of dirt
md vice, m its suburbs. The approach to the
city, in all directions, is through cultivated and
adorned fields and gardens, by the side of broad
and pleasant avenues. Its poverty and filth are
; ent up in the narrow streets, and high, topling
tenements of the old town.
lien I remarked, a lew days ago, that Bris
tol, in England, was distinguished tor combina
tions of modi rn and ancient Aichitecture, 1 had
not seen rxdinborough, a city to which the re
murk applies with tar more efiect. Here are
two distinct cities, one old and dingy and rag
ged—the other new and bright and well-dress
ed ; and though divided by a gulph, are yet con
nected by numerous bridges. Ihe old ano new
towns ot Edinburough are not situated, aslsup
posed, the founer upon low ground, and the lat
ter tiring up behind it, but side by side, or in
other words, “cheek by jowl,” upon parallel
hills, between which a deep gulph intervenes.—
The new town is built with much architectural
taste and care, upon broad streets and around
spacious equates. There is so much about it
looking and speaking quiet comfort and enjoy
ment, that I was not surprised to leain that
many of its inhabitants, having made lortunes
eFewnere, selected Edinborvughas their city of
refuge. But the new town, beautiful as it is,
has mil ; of the deep, exciting and absorbing in
terest that attaches to “Auld Reekie,” through
whose streets and courts and closes 1 wandered
with eyes nd ears, if not mouth, wide open.—
Alter g zing with amazement at lofty buildings
with tin, eleven, twelve, thirteen and even four
teen “flats,” ur stories, until my strained eyes
and dizzy head admonished me to forbear, I
mounted to the Castle, which is at once the or
nament and the delence of Edinborough; and
irom w hich, as lar as the eye could reach, you
overtook fields teeming with vegetation and
scenes rich in historic incidents—to all, or near
ly all ul which Scott’s Poetry or Romance has
rent enchantment.
It is not know n when this Castle was founded.
Though apparently impregnable, it was, during
the turbulent eias in Scottish history, several
times taken and re-taken. The “Regalia of
Scotland, ■’ a Crown, Sceptre and Sword ol
S ate —now mere baul les— are kept in the Cas
tle. The Room in which Glueen Mary gave
birth to Jaures VI, is also shown io visitors.
I’he enormous piece oi ancient Artillery called
“Mous Meg,” cast in 1463 at Muns, in Flan
ders, and burst in 1682 in firing a salute in hon
or ol a Duke of Yotk, is mounted upon theCas
de wall. This piece was taken from the Scotch
by England and kept for nearly a century in the
i ower of London, but returned to Scotland by
George the 4th. There are parts of two regi
ments stationed in the Castle, which has bar
racks for 2000, and an Armory fur 30,000 stands
us musketry.
This reminds me of an incident that amused
me yesteruay. While standing at the door ol
my Hotel, a red-co..ted Cor; oral, with a Drum
mer and Filer, passed, with a bevy of boys at
iheir heels. 1 asked lire waiter it this was a re
cruiting party ? “Na, na, sir, they are only cry
ing doon theii credit.” In explanation 1 learn
ed that a detachment of troops had arrived at
the Castle that day, and that this was the mode
ot warning people* not to trust the soldiers! Au
English Commercial Agent standing near re
marked that this was “the usual custom when
they came into a town, but that it might safely
be dispensed with here, tbi Sawney would take
care ut himself.” Tiie troops w v ose credit is
tuus cried down, have just returned irom Chi
na.
From the Castle we proceeded to Holy-Rood
House, which was a Palace, you know, when
Scotland was an independent Kingdom. This
once residence ot Kings and dueens is situated
at the eastern end ui the old Tower fronting the
foot ol the Canongate, and cutting but a sorry
figure in an unsightly location. Its bloody his
tory is written in so many books that I need not
dwell upon it. We wire shown the Room
where Rozzio, after being dragged by Darnley,
Ruthven and Douglas, trom the Queen's Sup
per T able, was assassinated. —Formerly visit
ors were edified with a view of the floor stained
by the lavorite's blood, but the oaken plank,
more fortunate than Lady Macbeth, whose “lit
tle hanu” resisted “all the perfumes of Arabia,”
h“s finally worn ‘out’ the ‘damned spot.’ In
the Queen’s sleeping apartment the bed upon
which her tread found “uneasy rest,” is still pre
served and shown. In the Picture Gallery the
Portraits of 106 Scottish Kings are suspended,
most of them execute in a style which shows
the Arts to have coiresponded in barbarity’ with
tbe age and character of the People and theii
.monarchs. Apartments were fitted up in Holy-
Rood for George the 4th when he visited Scot
land in 1822. The exiled King of France
(Charles X) with his family, resided here Irom
1830 to 1b33.
The Abirey of Holy-Rood is a most interest
ing Ruin. It was founded by King David, in
1128.—Here are monuments over the remains
if King David, King James il, and King
James V, Queen Magdalen, Lord Darnley, am
many other illustrious personages.
Passing up the Canongate, you see a Hospi
tal, whicn was once the Palace of the Duke ot
Queensbury. Near this istheCanungate Kirn,
i most antique and grotesque pile, adjoining
which are the Court Rooms and Jail ol the Can
agate. Further on is tire residence of the an
■tent Earls of Moray, erector in 1618; and stii
further, as you enter Highgate, stands the housi
of John Knox, from the window of which th>
feforuser used to address the multitudes stand
■ng in the street. There is a statue of the great
Teacher, rudely sculpt ured, cow standing at this
window. The builuiag is now an

The Courts were not in session, but Proses-
T’hoaaajs Murray (to whoa the Rev. Dr.
Sprague gave me a kind letter ol introduction,)
look me t trough the Chambers of the Court o f
Exchequer, the Parliament House, the High
Court ot Justiciary, and the Libraries ol the
Faculty of Advocates and of the Writers to ttie
riiguet. The Advocates Library is second to
that of the British Museum. It contains 100,-
000 printed volumes and 1700 volumes in man
uscript. Among the latter is a beautifully, writ
ten copy of the Bible, with illuminated illustra
tions, bearing date in the 11th century There
is also an illuminated manuscript Life of Christ.
There are numerous original Letters from Ma
ly Queen of Scots, written in 1570, from Loch
Levin. Among the earliest primed volumes, 1
saw “The Works of the Famous and Worthy
Knight, Sir David Lindsey,” printed in
LX.XXII. And “I'he Acts and Lile of the
most victorious and conquering Robert Bruce,”
printed in 1620. The original Covenant of the
Church of Scotland, bearing the signature of
“J. Knox,” in a strong, bold hand, with those ol
the other high contracting parties, is deposited
in this Library.
There is a large collection ot American Law
Books in the Library, in glancing over the cata
logue to which, I noticed the works of Judges
Marshall, Story, Kent, Reeve, Conkling, Cow
an, Betts, Ac. The enlightened and amiable
Librarian, (David Irving, L. L. D., who worthi
ly succeeds such men as David Hume and Ad
am Ferguson,) handed me, with evident satis
faction, an Eainborough copy of Chancellor
Kent’s Lectures upon Commercial Law, of
which he spoke in high terms. This most ex
tensive and valuable Library derives its Fund
mainly from the admission tee paid by each Ad
vocate on becoming a member of the Faculty.
Strangers and Students, who are attending Lec
tures at Edinburgh, are allowed to visit the Li
brary and read the Books, without expense, and
even without introduction.
My friend took me to the Desk which Sir
Waltei Scott occupied so long as Clerk of the
Court in which one of the noble Judges (I can’t
remember which) found himself reading “Old
Mortality,” instead of attending to the argu
ment of a complicated Law question*; and
where, even now, when the Court is sitting, the
Bench and Bar are constantly interested by re
collections and reminiscences of the bright men
tal luminary around which they all used to re
vo.ve.
Herriol’s Hospital lakes its name from the ■
Philanthropist by whom it was munificently en
dowed, the opulent Jeweller of King James VI,
and the “Jingling Geordie” of the “Fortunes of
Nigel.” Herriot, when dying, said: “For the
wealth God has sent me, it shall not want inher
itors while there are Orphan lads in Auld Ree
kie.” It is a splendid Edifice, and cost, it is
said, £27,000. Its generous walls have lurnish
ed an Asylum for 180 Orphans, during nearly
two hundred years, who arc taught English,
Latin, Greek, Mathematics, &c. &c. Boys are
admitted at from 7to 10, and leave at 14, with a
Bible and two suits ot Clothes. ISuch as go
Apprentices, receive £lO a year and £5 when
free. Those designed tor Professions, arc sent
to College, and receive £3O annually for four
years. In 1836, by act of Parliament, the Sur
plus Herriot Fund was applied to tl e establish
ment of Free Schools in tiie different City Pa
rishes, of which seven, with more than 2000
children, ol both sexes, are now enjoying the
blessings of instruction. How honorably does
the conduct ot the Trustees of this Fund con
trast with the perfidious and criminal waste and
squander of the magnificent bequest of Stephen
Girard? It the spirit of Franklin could re-vis
it earth, how indignantly wou d it rebuke those
who have thus robbed the Orphan! Or if old
Stephen Girard could rend his cerements, how
he would make the wretches who have consu
med his substance and betrayed his Trust,
quake and tremble !
I sought out the Sited the Old Tolbootli, in
teresting alike from its real and its romantic
history. It stood, until 1817, in the centre of
what is now the High street, but no vestige of it
remains. Its pad-lock and key, lam told, are
preserved in Sir Walter Scott’s Cabinet of
Strange Curiosities at Abbotsford.
I was attracted into the tap-room of a Publi
can occupy ing the first “flat” of a towering old
Mansion, whose health 1 drank out of respect
foi the taste displayed in his Sign, which repre
sented, with considerable effect, that exquisite
scene in the “Heart of Arid Lothain,” where
“Dumbiedihes,” repenting his refusal to supply
“Jeanie Deans” with the means of defraying
her expenses to London, mounting his willy ward
poney, had overtaken her, pur»e in hand, on the
road. And now, with my own head and heart
as full ot that incomparable woman as the stu
pid Laird whose suit she rejected, because, as
she informed him, “I canna break my word till
Reuben Buller, that’s Scudemaster at Libbey
ton, if ye wad gie me the haile barony of Dal
kieth,” I followed her out to “Libbertoh,” where
“Reuben Buller” had a “Scule,” and where, at
a moment when time was so precious to the
Lovers, that omnipresent nuisance, “Saddle
tree,” intruded himself, with the benevolent de
sign of using up the poor Schoolmaster’s half
play day in conversation “anent Effie's misfor
tune.”
While at Libberton, which place is about two
miles from the centre ot Edinboro’, I was in
formed of an instance of Theological patriotism
that would have made the old “Cameronian
cow-feeder,” were he alive, leap lor joy. Ob
serving a dozen stone masons very actively en
gaged in putting up the walls of a small edifice,
at which as many persons were lookers-on, my
cabman informed me that they were building a
new Kirk for a “non-intrus'ionisl” Minister;
and on further inquiry, I ascertained that this
humble Temple was designed for an eloquent
Preacher who, with a devotion worthy of “Reu
ben Butler,” or even of the stoutest Catnero
nians who hid themselves in caverns during the
“persecuting times,” had renounced a living of
$3500 per annum, with a fine Parsonage House
and Glebe, rather than compromise his princi
pies I
1 returned from Libberton by the way of Sals
bury Crag and Anhui’s Seat, than which it is
impossible to imagine bolder or finer promonto
ries. But I will not mock you with any attempt
at a description ot Arthur’s Seat, when, by look
ing into the “Chronicles of the Canongate,” you
will find one traced by an inspired pen, from
which, however, I cannot forbear making an
extract
“A nobler contrast there can hardly exibt than tii.at
of the huge city, dark with the smoke of ages, and
groaning with the various sounds ot active industry or
idle revel, and the lofty and craggy hill, silent and sol
itary as the grave ; one exhibiting the full tide of exis
tence, pressing and precipitating itsell forward with
the force of an inundation ; the other resembling some
time-worn anchorite, whose life passes as silent and
unobserved as some slender rill, which escapes un
heard, and scarce seen, from the fountain of hi.- patron
saint. The city resembles the busy temple, where the
modern Cornu* and Mammon hold their Court, and
thousands sacrifice ease, independence, and virtue it
self, at their shrine ; the misty and lonely mountain
seems as a throne to the majestic but terrible genius of
feudal times, where the same divinities dispensed coro
nets and domains to those who had heads to devise,
and arms to execute bold enterprises.’/
But I will not tell you how carefully I look
ed for, and how satisfactorily I identified the
old Cameronian cow-feeder's Cottage, and “Ni
col Muscat’s Cairn,” where “Jeanie” met “Rob
ertson,” and where they were surprised by the
blood-hounds of tbe law, under the guidance of
“Rati liffe,” who managed, however, to make
“Madge Wildfire” give w arning of their ap
proach; because, if 1 should tell you all this,
you will say that 1 am a romantic old fool, as I
am, whenever I gel “The Heart of Mid Lo
thian,” the ‘•Antiquary,” “Guy Marinering;”
or “Kennilwcrtli,” into my hand or head.
’One ol the Judges of our own Circuit Courts, to
whom the unsoiled ermine of a distinguished Judicial
Father has descended, is so devout an admirer ol' Sir
Walter Scotl, that, it no other opportunity for reading
him affords, would be quite sure to follow the example
of his Edinboro’ brother.
Ifyonilhe Sovannah Republican.}
The election iu Georgia.
Tue Doctkine or Instxic'ction.—Now that
the election is nearly decided, it may not be un
profitable to reler back to the proceedings ol the
last Legislature which passed resolutions politp"
eally and personally ett’enrive, with ti’ganl to
our worthy Senator, the Hou. J. M. Berrien.
Doesnot that Legislature stand rebuked, must
gravely rebuked, by the people? Is it not con
victed of high misdemeanors, and has the peo
ple sustained its proceedings? We have ever
maintained that the doctrine ol instruction was
the most dangerous heresy’ afloat, that it aimed
at the integrity of Congress, and at the corner
stone ol our political structure, and that Geor
gia was nutpi epared to embrace a theory so ab
norrent to her really republican principles. Pity
it is that the Locos did not follow the noble ex
ampleof the Whigs whenthey were in power,
who when the State had given 7,000 majority
against the “AwMcrn. man with. Southern princi
ples," did not even entertain seriously the propo
sition to instruct Mr. Cuthbert, a man who, sb
far as we know, performed no services of impor
tance while in his seat, who was habituaily ab
sent trom it till near the close of the session, and
who one year repaired thither only 12 days be
fore the expiration of ihe session, a man who
was more notorious for absenteeism than any
one since the formation of the Government, who
was so shamefully derelict in his duty, as to of
lend his own political friends. This man, we
say, was not instructed by a Legislature with a
Whig majority. They had too much regard for
he Constitutional rights ot the minority’ to imi
tate the Virginian example. It was reserved
however, tor Senator Benieh, a man whose im
mense services have been publicly acknowl
edged throughout the length of the land, to be
.be object of resolutions of a furious opposition
aho would have been glad to supply his place
.roin among their own number. It was reserv
ed for a man whose public estimation and pri
vate character, w’hose position not only as a Sen
itor, but as one in the very front rank of Sen
ttors, entitled him to exemption from such as
saults, to be aimed at—and'now behold the re
•ult. How impotent how’ idle has been the at
.mpt, and how truly has it recoiled upon his an
igonists.
Where now are all the arguments to prove the
right of instruction ? Will not the rule work
<olh ways I Sec a State Legislature, with a
Whig majority almost unprecedented in the U.
states, and see W. T. Colquitt in the U.S. Sen
te. He does not represent the majority. All
he reasoning that shows that the constitutional
erm of a U. S. Senator may be varied to suit
he humor of ephemeral majorities, is as good
.fits year, as it was last. If it was the voice ol
die people then, it is now. lithe appeal to the
people was agaitst Senator Berrien, then, it is
against Mr. Colquitt now. Mr. Colquitt and
Mr. Black were very active, it is said in getting
up these instructions against Mr. Berrien ; wib
they now sip the chalice that they have with so
much Zealand fervor ixmimended to the lips ol
another? Aye, will they do it ? Mr. Colquitt
is opposed to'the Land Distribution, is against a
Bank, against Henry Clay, against every thing
Whig. He is in au alarming minority in his
State, will he not resign? We answer no!!
He will not resign, and the Whig Legislature
will not instruct him out of his seat. Such a
measure they are incapable of adopting. They
were eVwcit when Allred Cuthbert was Senator,
and they have too much regard for the Constitu
tion to do it now. But il ever there was a po
litical measure deliberately consigned to public
reprobation, then is the proceeding of the last
Legislature in relation to Judge Berrien. More
we will not say at this time than to congratulate
our Senator oh the result. If any one in the
State has reason to rejoice over the election, he
has. If he had not resisted these encroachments,
if he had resigned, his party would nevei have
forgiven him for it. But our prediction that he
would not allow the Republic to receive any
detriment at his hands, has proved correct, and
any man might envy him the satisfaction he
would enjoy in again taking his seat in the
United States Senate.
Toadyism.—We find the origin of this term,
so much in vogue at the present day, given in
Chambers’ Edinburgh Journal, as follows :
“A great personage wishing to get quit of a
troublesome hanger-on, caused a dish ot toads
to be served up one day instead of a dish offish.
The invention was seen, but the dependent
knew too well the value of the connection which
he had established, to take the hint. He partook
of the toads withall the appearance of relish,
never letting it be presumed that he thought
them any thing but good soles. There after,
any one who was content to live on the bounty
of another, at the expense ol a few occasional
insults, was said to eat that person’s toad—to
be, in short, a toad-eater.”
