In a recent number of the Gonritr da fitals
Unit we find some remarks rotating to this region
which wo have regarded as worthy of tran.lation
and a place in our columns.— Nat. Intel.
The recent discovery of rich beds of gold in |
Australia (the writer in the Courier says) attracts 1
attention to tho other islands of the i’acifio. By |
the occupation of the Marquesas, and by assuming j
tho protectorate of Tahiti, F'raneo haa obtained u I
sure footing in those latitudes. But England, ou j
her Part, long sines prepared there a permanent I
establishment by colonizing New Zealand. If we j
may credit the English writer, the three islands
winch have received this name are destined to lie- i
oomo au industrious and commercial centre, arid j
“to occupy the same place in the Houtliern
that Great’Britain egoupies in the Northern.”—
ilowevor this may bo, England has in a few years j
succeeded in rendering accessible iVi* country, j
which wo knew only by tragical histories, the ad- j
ventures of tho Dutch navigator Tasman, the !
treachery of the natives toward Cook, or tho mas
sacre of Capt. Marion.
Situated on the other side of the eqnator, in the
sumo latitude a* Naples, and at some days’ voyage
from Australia, Now Zealand offered wonderful
advantages to Europesn colonists. Its extent is
almost equal to that of Great Britain. Th* cli
mate, tempered by tho vicinage of the ees, is fa
vorablo io tho raising of cattle and to the otiitiva ■
tion of ail the produots of warm countries. Tho
soil, watered by navigable rivers, is tortile and
woody. Copper is taken from it in abundance,
arid v’e r y recently ooal has been found almost at
thcsurlaoe. lint, to roverso the medal, th# in
habitants are intractable ferocious, and in fact
anthropophagous, (cannibal.)
It is not fully and generally nnderstoed what
New Zealand has become in the hands of the Eng
lish. England wisely encourages in all parts oftho
globe the enterprise* and establishments of her
own people. Twelve years since private societies
were organized at London for tho colonization of
New Zealand. Tho Government first protected
them and then absorbed them. It did every thing
to increase emigration, and especially to facilitate
tlio passage of naeliil emigrants; and it sometimes
even took upon itself tbe'whole expeneo of their
■ tev'.i'f-MVadwn. 'Centres &f-eo , tooK.Xd*nn'*vii.-3’irCT!*"
formed in Now Zoaland, roads were opened, the
soil was cleared, and cities arose; Auckland, tho
capital, the residence of tho Governor; Welling
ton ami New Plymouth, in tho Northern Island;
and Nelson, Canterbury, and Ot-jgo, in the Con
tra Island. Soino of tlieso settlements are com
posed of from six to seven thousand inhabitants,
and tho entire Europoan population is now about
forty thousand souls, a number folly sufficient to
keep in awe the ono hundred and tweuty thousand
ua'ives of tho interior of tho islands.
The natives, whom travellers represent as real
cannibals, have, like tho soil,felt the inflnenoe of
cultivation. According to tho English official
doounients, many of them have boon converted to
chrislianitv. These know how te read and write,
thev cultivate their fields or work at trades, carry
on business in tbe 1 ttlo vessels which belong to
them, wear clothes from Louden, and—who weold
biliove it!—there are some who egnlarly buy and
read the morning newspaper! Wherever the
English [bnt more universally tho Americans] at
tempt an establishment, thoy immediately issue] a
newspaper. We nood not therefore be surprised
; to find somo of them at New Zealand. We will
mention the “Government Gazette,” at Anck
i land; the “Southern Cross,” th# “ New Zealand
er,” the “Wellington Independent,” the “Nelson
Examiner,” and the “ Littleton Times,” which vio
in celebrating tho virtues of tho natives and the
ftitn.e greatness of the colony. Leaving out of
view the exaggerations of British pride on the
aiibject, we nevertheless Hud the wealth of Now
Zealand constantly ineressing by the inflnx of rich
r emigrants. In 1«48 only 127 persons bought
iarm*; in ISSO thcro were 323; and in 1851, 798.
The exportation by tho eolony of provisions,
wool, metals, and timber did not amount to one
mill ou franca (or two hundred thousand dollars)
in 1348. It arose in 1850 to two million two hun
dred thousand franc*, and in 1851 to three million
two hundred tlion-and.
Those dcvuloncmonts give presage of others still
more considerable.

Diacovery of America by tbe Northmen.
At tbe late meeting of the Maryland Historical
Society, the following communication was received
from Professor Ref:i, founded oc hi* great work,
“ Antiquitatcs American*,” published in 1657,
and intended to oorrect error* into which some
American writers have fallen, in regard to the ear
lier discoveries of America;
uisoovt-nr ox amebic* st the sobtumex.
The Dane G-irdar, of Swedish origin, was tbe
flr-t Northman who discovered Iceland, in c <3.
Only a few ont place* of this country had fceeu
visited previously, about 70 year* b-dore, by 1 r:-ii
hermit*. E’ev ii years sub’s, qneiftly, or in 874,
the Norwegian Ingolf began the colonization of
the oonutry, which was completed duringthes; ace
of Cu year*. The colonists, many of whom be
longed to tbe most illustrious and most civilized
families in the North, established in Iceland a
flourishing Republic Here, on tiii* distant Isio
r-wk, the Old Northern language was preserved
unchanged for centuries, and bore ia tho Eddat
were treasured tho«e Folk-songs and Folk-myths,
and in the Saga* those historical Tales and Le
gends, which the first settler* ha.l brought with
tor rn from their dcaudiuaviau mother-land*.
Iceland ah* therefore the cradle of au historical
literature of immense value.
Tr.o situation of the islaud and tbe relationship
of the colony to foreign commie* in its earlier pe
riod, compelled its inhabitant* to exercise and dc
veiope their hereditary manftuuu ekiit UjiK-t
for new discover.e* acres* the great Ocean. As
early ns the year 377 Gnjuibiora saw for the flr-t
time the inoußtaitoti* co*at of Greenland.—Hot

1144, n RiAhopV Be. vn» founded, wbicli Aubxwted
for upward, of three hnntfftid years. Tii# head
firtli. or bays were named after the chief* of the
expedition. Erik the Knl retUed in Erik'* firth,
Klu.r, llafn arid Ketil in the firth, called after
them, and Heriulf on Heriulfsne.. On a voya-o
from Iceland to Greeiftanti thin .ame year, (»>«,)
Biarno, the tun of the latter, we. driven far out to
sea towards the .outh-west. and for the first time
beheld the coasts of the American lands, after
ward. visited »nd named by hi* countrymen. In
order to examine these countries mere narrowly,
Leif the Fortunate, son of Erik tho Red, under
took a voyugo of discovery thither in the year
icon. He landed on the shore* described by
Biarno, detailed the character of these land* more
exactly, and gave them names according to their
apnearunce; Heliuiand, (Newfoundland) was so
nailed from it* fiat stones, Murkiund, (New Scot
land) from it* woods, and Vineland (New Eng
land) from it. vine*. Here he remained lor Home
time and constructed large houses, called after
him (Leif* Booths.) A German named Tyrker,
who accompanied Lief on tliifc voyage, was the
man who ft.nnd the wild vines, which he recog
nized from having seen them in ids own land, and
Leif gave the country it* name from this circum
stance. Two years afterwards, Lid’s brother,
Thorwald, repaired thither, and in loihl caused an
expedition to be undertaken to the eouth, aionpr
the sliore, but ho was killed in the summer of
1004 on n voyago northwards, in a skirmish with
the natives.
The most distinguished, however, of all the fii.t
American disoovercr* iaTliorlin Karlsnfuc,an Ice
lander, whose genealogy is carried hack in the old
Northern annals to Danish, Swedish, Norwegian,
Scottish and Irish ancestors, some of them of roy
al blood. In 10u« this chief on a merchant voyage
visitod Greenland, and there married Gudrid, the i
widow of Tliorste.in (eon of Erik the lted,) who
I had died the year before in an unsuccessful expo- •
i dition to Vineland. Accompanied by hie wife, i
I who encouraged him to this voyage, and by acrew 1
of one hundred and sixty men ou board three
| vessels, ho repaired in the spring of 1007 to Vine- '
land, where he remained for three years, aud bad
j rnanv communications with the aborigine*. Here
! bis wife Gudrid bore him a son, Bnorcr, who ha,l
I become tho founder es an illustrious family in lee-
Ilan l, whioh gave that Island several of its first
Bishop*. II s daughter’s son was tno celebrated
Bishop Thorlak Kunolfaon who published tho firs; i
Christian Coda of Iceland. In 1121 Bishop Erik
I sailed from Vineland to Greenland, doubtless for
j the purpose of strengthening his countrymen iu
j their Christian faith.
I Tho notices given by the old lee.landio voyage
chroniclers respecting tho olimate, the soil and the
production* of this now country, are very charac
teristic. Nay, we havo even a statement of this
kind as old as tho eleventh century from s writer
not a Northman, Adam of Bremen; ho slates on
ihn authority of Bvein Estridson the kingoi Den
mark, a nephew of Canute tho Great, that the
oonutry got its name from the vice growing wild
there, ft i*a remarkable coincidence in this re
spect, that it* Eugiiah re-discoverer*, for the same
reason, namo tho large island which is close off
the toast, Martha’s Vineyard. Spontaneously
growing wheat, (maize or Indian com) was also
found in this cone try.
In tho mean time it ia the total result of the
nautical, geographical and astronomical evidences
in tho original documents, which places tile sitna
tion of the countrios discovered boyond all doubt.

liowly found lands, the striking description of Jibe
coasts, especially tbe white sand-banks of New
Scotland and the long beaches and downs of a pe
culiar appearance on < apa Cod—tho ICiaiartics
and Kurd ustramlir of the Northmen—aro not to

ed the topmost round iu the ladder of fame, wo
condense from a new work called the “ Men of our
Time:”
John Ericsson was born in the province of Ver
morlaml, Sweden, in 1893. He showed a strong
taste tor mechanic* when quite young, and at the
age of 11 attracted the attention of Count I’latcn,
who procurod him the appointment of cadet in u
corps of onginccr*, and, in 1316, ho was made r, i
teiteur on tho grand ship canal between the Baltic
and the North Sea. From Ins associations with
military men, ho acquired a ta-sto for military
life, and entered the Swedish [.any as an
ensign, a step which lost him the tavur ol hi* pat
ron. Count rial on. In the army he ro-c to the
milk of Lieutenant, and shortly after his promotion
ho w-.s employed for somo time in tho survey of
Northom Sweilen. In the meanwhile he devoted
much of his time to hi* favorite speculations in
mechanics, end projected hi* fiamt engine, ono of
tho earliest of his invention*, an engine in
tended to work Independently of steam, by con
densing flatno. In 1320, ho obtained permission
to visit England, where lie hoped to bring his in
vention into public not e.-, but he. soon discovered
that when tho engine was worked by mineral fuel,
the experiment was a tetri failure. lie was not
discouraged, however, and in 18S9, ho competed
for tho prize offered by the Liverpool and Man
chester railway for tho best lecomotivt. and j[ ,ro "
dneed an crgluc that attained the then incredible
speed of'lty miles an honr. Sinoo his residence
in tho United Slates, Cnpt. Ericsson has been tho
author of many inventions which have made hia
name familiar to the public. Ericsson’* propeller,
ecmi-cylindrical engine, ccntrifngsl blowers, be
sides somo improvements in managing giina. wore
appded to tho steamer I’rinccton with successfnl re
sults. In tho American department oft-lio great ex
hibition he exhibitor! a distance instrument for mea
suring distances at sea, the hydrostatic gauge, lor
measuring the volume of fluids under press .ire, the
reoiproeating fluid inoler, tho alarm barometer, the
pyrometer, tho rotary fluid meter, and the sr a lend,
all or which instruments ho has given a “brie! expla
nation.” in a pamphlet published in 1851. The
invention, however, which has engaged his best
efforts for the !s*t twenty-five years: which is now
attracting the attention of tho Old vVor.d and
New • and which ia destined to make the name ot
Enosaon immortal—is the “Caloric Engine,” aa
it i* called, intended to supersede the nscot steam.
Cnpt. E. is a Knight of the Swedish or, ler of \ nsa
and a member ot many scientific societies on bot h
sklos of the Atlantic. His personal appearance and
mannora are extremely agreeable. He is of the
medium height, with a dark complexion, aud dark
hair, which halt a oentury of thought is beginning
to ii terUco with 6ilver. His countenance wears
a 4 honghtful expression, and he speaks of his in
vention with modest confidence aud convincing
olaarness. He has the bearing of a gentleman, and
he ia formed to bs beloved and confided in. lie
still retains a slight Swedish accent, nut spcaaa
English with correctness and fluency.
Tub New Empress op France.—The New York
Commercial Adifrlieer is indebted to «:i esteemed
friend, who was formerly resident in Spain, for j
the following sketch, which seems to explain the j
family origin of the new Empress of France very
satisfactorily. Her history is no less romantic
than that of the Empress Josephine:
<• By to day's advices from Europe we are told
that the Emperor Napoloon ill. has espoused a
Spanish Isdv, “whose grandfather wes British
consul at Ma’iaga, and whose mother was an Irish
lady bv tho nameef Fitzpatrick,’' also that this
new Empress wss in her own right, Countess Teba,
although bearing the name of Mad’lle. Montego.
Thus much by telegraph. Now the plain English
of all this is, no doubt, as follows:
“ A worthy Scotchman, by the name of Wiiliatn
Kirkpatrick, was for eoine’ time the American
Consul at Malaga, and, failing in business, was
succeeded bv George G. Barrel as United States
Consul ai Malaga. This was, 1 think, under Presi
dent Monroe's administration.
“ Mr. Kirkpatrick’s eldest daughter, Maria, or
“ Mariqnita,’ as she was familiarly called and
known bv all Americans there, was a very fine,
dashing lady, and married the Conut de Teba, a
younger brother of the celebrated Paiafoix, who
behaved so gallantly at the seige of Zaragoza, and
who in reply toa demand of surrender, declared
ho would cculinne tho defence by “War to the
“The Palatoix family embraced numerous ti
tles, aud was singularly brave and uobic.
“Thia husbsnd of Maria Kirkpatrick (Connt de
Tebai was o gallant soldier, and so cut up by
wound* as to be unable to mount his horse with
ont aid, and when in the saddle, looked more as
if he was hooted on than seated there.
“The new Empress of the French is no doubt
the daughter of thia Countess Tehs, “ Mariq'.iira
Kirkpatrick,” who was the daughter of William
Kirkpatrick, late United States Consul at Malaga
—not British Consul—not Fitzj.atrick—and not
The British Consul at Malaga was William
Laird, another old Scotch cen ierr.an, and he wa*
followed by Mr. Marks, an Englishman.
“li the new Emores* of Fr nee was Counters
Tebt, as slated, tteii her mother is dead, sa also ia
her lather, ar.d she took the title of her mother.
The naioo Montego, under which she pa-sed in
Paris, is perhaps one of the family names cr titles
of the I’alafeix family.”

The Japanese Idea of th)* World.
11l the Royal Museum at the there is also
a Me> of the World, designed »y tho Japanese,
it is imto i more carious than teat of their own
country. Hitts well executed work, done like
the other ou parchment made ojrice, and ia good
evidence ot proficiency in tbe Ht of design, but
bad evidence of proficiency in (ioography. The
earth t* not represented ns tie , nor resting its
mighty woiglit on the head of« tortoise. It has
its proper rotund or cllipiticai s tape, hang* su*-
pended iu space aud is diversiktd by land and
water, mountain*, river* and lakat. But tho land
and water do not tear their just proportions to
each other, nor do the elevations and depressions
correspond exactly with those ia nature. F'rotn
the existence of laud on tho char, where tho At
lantic Ocean should bo, one woi.d enppo»e their
ideas of Geography were derived from some pe
riod anterior to the disappearance »l Blato’s Island
of Atiantea, of which the Egyptian Priest* gave
such interesting information to Bolon. But, al
lowing land hero, they conceive rater where, ac
cording to tho present arrangement, it does not
belong. Indeed the sea haa mttrj more thau its
due proportion of the globe. Ti ii perhaps is an
error very natural for Islanders 14 fall into. But
it is curious that the Eastern < ontmontx are push
ed far to tho Eouth of their plisoi t posiiion,
which perhaps would acoonnt Sr Sir Charles
Lyell’s supposed glacial period mountains
ol toe formed in the frozen regiyeht of the North
were detached from their native «d* and borne
like moving worlds majestically or 4r land and soa.
Who shall say that tho hugs bouioir* seen on our

Slaves.—The New York Observer publishes the
following private letter, written by Henry Clay to
several political friends of his in that State, who
wrote to him in 134-4 on the subject of emancipa
ting his s'avos. They expressed their high admi
ration of his character, their pleasure on learning
that ho had given freedom to hie man Charier. and
their desire that he would extend the same boon
to thoso who still remained on his hands. To
which Mr. Clay replied r.s follows:
Ashland, Jan. 8, 1845.
i u Gr.NTi.tMKN: —I have perused yonr friendly let
' ter i the spirit in which it was written, lam glad
tiiat the emancipation of uty servant Charles
meets yonr approbation. A degree of publicity
has been given to 'he fast, whicj- 1 er—eel
>d nor desired. I atn not in the ngoS or making
ony parade of my domestic transactions, hutsiooc
von nave averted to one of them, 1 will say that I
bad previously emancipated Charles' mother and
sister, and acquiesce! in his father's voluntary
abandonment of my service, who lives with hta
wife near me. Charles continue* to reside with
me, and the effcotof his freedom i* no other than
: that of substituting fixed wages, wfcieh I now pay
to him, for the occasional allowances and gratui
i ties w liich I gave him.
You express a wish that I would emancipate the
t residue of my slaves. Os these more than half
i are utterly incapable of supporting themselves,
- from infancy, old age, or helplessness. Tney are
in families. Whit would they do if X were to send
r them forth on the world t Knoh a measure would
1 be extremely oruel instead of humane. Our law
, does not admit of emancipation, without security
t beiuggivea that the freed slave shall not be a pub
lie charge. .
In truth, gentlemen, the question of my eman
cipating tho slaves yet remaining with me, involve*
nianv con-ider»!ions of duty, relation and locality,
of which, without meaning any dSrespect to you,
I think vou arc hardly competent to judge. At ell
ever.U, I, who done, am responsible to the world,
to God, and to my conscience, mu't reserve to my
self the exclusive judgment.
1 firmly believe that the canae of the good of the
slave, far from being advanced, hsa been retarded
bv the agitation of the subject at the North. This
remark is not intended for those who, like yon,
are moved by benevolent i mpulses, and do not seek
to gratify personal or political ambition.

A reply to your address moat necessarily he the

ated her seem* to have designed her. Her circle
is, literally and emphatically that ot her family
and such the is content that it shall be. Wi’thiu
that aireio her influence is felt over the relations of

charges the duty of one or all of those relations, so

upon Iter fidelity in any one of them, ia to excite
against her tho odium of the community, and, in a
gieat measure to dethrone hor from Iter high po
sition. She know* nothing of political conven
lions, or conventions of any other sort than such
as are he'd under suitable paator* of the Church,
and are wholly directed to the advancement of the
Christian religion. Sueh is emphatically the case
with the woman of tho tvviuhcru States. Do you

nothing more observable than in tho well clothed

and heap upon yon every comfort dnriug your so
jottrn under tho roofs of their masters. You will
see then how utterly impossible it would be to ex
pect th* women es the United State* lo assemble
in convention eilltor iu person or by proxy, iu or
dor to frame an answer to your address. Nay, 1
mn»t, inoroovcr, in ail trankness, declare to yon
that the women oftho South, especially, have not
received youi address in the kindest spirit. They
regard it as ontircly incompatible wfth all,
confidence in, or consideration tor them, to invok i
the interposition of the women of w hat are called
the free States, in a matter with which they havo
no more to do than have y ourselves, and whose in
terference in the question can produce no other
etfeetthan to excite disturbance and agitation and
ill-will, and possibly in tho end, a total annihila
tion of kind feeling'between geographical seciion*.
It is the province oflhe women ot the Southern
States to proside over thcdomeslio economy ot tho
ostatos and plantations of their husbands—it is
emphatically their province to visit tho sick, and
attend to the comfort of all tho laborers upon such
estates ; and it ia feit to be but a poor compli
ment to tho women of the South, to an pposc it ne
cessary to introduce other siiporinteudenek than
their own ovor tho condition of their denMidpnts
and sorvants. They see, too, or fancy thojjyrts. In
the fact that the address which you havq. Mfcio

of England, and tliat according to tho admission
orthe Dutchess of Sutherland, in her opening ad
dress to yonr convention, your eonyeiftton.-itself
is btitthe offspring of the same political nnwspa
nr r press—l sav, thev see enough in ail this to ox
cito not their sympathies, but their apprehension*.
They also see, or fancy that they sec, in your
movement the fingers of your greatest statesmen.
The Oountai of Derby, the yiteounleU Palmertton,
1 the Uauntea of Oreille, I/\dy John RitneeU, not to
mention others of distinction and notoriety, would
scarcely be complimented by a sntqioailion that
they had signed or openly approved eooh an ad
dress without the concurrence of their husbands.
The women of the Southern States are, for the
most part, well educated ; indeed they yield r.ct
in this respect to any females on earth, and they
have peculiar opportunities of acquiring knowl
edge in regard to Ihs public eoneorna of the world.
Politics is almost universally tho tl,erne among
the men, inall their coteries, and social gatherings,
and the women would bo stupid indeod, if thoy
did not gather mnoh information from this abun
dant source. Hence they ate not ignorant of tho
rapid growth of their beloved country, or of tho
promises of it* early future. Their mothers know
this land when it ooutained but throe millions of
inhabitants, and numbered bnt thirteen States.
Their children know it now, a* the great confed
erated republic; whoso population already eqnals
twenty-six millions, and whose dominions sre
wsshe Iby the waters of the oceans. Believe me,
that its magnitnde now, and importance in tho
fnturo, is a* fully known to the women of tho U.
States, as it is to yo«r husbands and editors, and
statosmen. Onr cenans tables show a duplication
of our population in every cycle of 33 years; so
that by the time the infant, now in tho cradle,
ahall havo attained the age of mnnhood that popu
lation will havo increased to fifty millions; and by
the timo that same infant attains to middle age,
it will have swollen into ono hundred millions.
We need go no further in the estimate, in order to
nnveil that immense futnro which lies before us
a futnre. unrivalled in point of power, by any
thing the world has heretofore scon—a future,
whioh already fixes upon it tho intense and stead
fast gaze of the statesmen of other countries—a
./fetiTQ which unfolds a new 'tewJva.MW*«‘ r
’ jHuTfufbter oner, t trust forxhe tuAmn uminiy—a
future, to be regarded with rapture by tho lover
of man, and which may canso privilege to shiver
and tremble with soar in all its fibres and arteries.
lalHido not to any power of tho sword. No, I
allude to a power more resistless, and more certain
in its results the power of example—tho example
of * free, prosperous and great people, among
whom all artificial distinctions of society are un
known; where preferment is equally open to all,
and man’s capacity tor self government is recog
nized and eoholns’ively established. Tbe women
of the United S ate* foresee all this, and they also
thoroughly eomprehend the fact, thut all confed
eracies havo heretofore, in tho history of tho
world, been broken np and destroyed bv tho
machinations of foreign governments; and if such
has been f-o fata of othcrcomodcracies, how much
more vigilant ought we to be to guard against tho
fatal results which have attended on others, and
• to look with suspicion, come from what quarter
it may, on all interference in onr domestio con
cem«i If tho Actinia!) mid other leagues could
not withstand tho machination* ot tho powers of
their dav, how truly sensitive ought wc lo be cm a
point which proved so fatal to them; and it the
foreign States, bv whom such oontcdorscies were
surrounded, teltit to bo duo to their own safety to
destrov them by thoir machinations, have we not
- reason to suppose that a ten fold interest is found
in our case, in view of the rapid growth of tho U.

] which will cloth* this'country wltnallthe elements

This is quitoas thoroughly known by ns ss by yon,
women of England, and therefore you slionld not
he in tho slightest degree sin prised at the sus
picion with which yonr address is regarded hy all
the thinking women, not only of the south, but of
the whole union. We know that there is but cue
subject on which there is a possibility of wrecking
tho bark of this Union—a possibility, however,
which, I trust, is very remote—and to that very
•object you l avo given your attention ; and not
only so, bnt have snhsorlbed Rn address, not pre
pared bv yourselves, as tho emanation of yonr own
•nsccptlble hearts, bnt tho admitted production of
the newspaper presa of England, whloh slTeots a
mawkish sensibility on a suhjeot with whioh it has
nothing proporly to do—and all for ends which
every reflecting person cannot fail to understand.
Nor is this suspicion in auy degree removed by
tho fset on which yon predicate yonr address, via:
the fact that your country inflicted on her then
colonies the ‘curse’ of slavery in opposition to
their frequent snd solemn protests. In tho histor
ical fact yon are certainly correct. Tho colony of
Virginia, and, I believe, most of the other colo
nies, were oonstant and earnest in their romon
strsnees; end one of the causes set forth in the
Declaration of Indepondenoe, ss prepared and
written hy a son of Virginia, was a continuance of
the slave trade bv the mother country, in despite
of ail remonstrance on the pari of tho colonic*.—
Thus then, England not only permitted, bnt
er.eoaraged the siavo trade, for a period of a cen
tnrv and a half, as a means of swelling her cos-
fers ; and the infamoua traffic could only be expel
led from this country by tho force and power of
the aword. Yonr Kings and Queens, sustained
hy your Parliament and people, entered into treat
ies, and formed contracts, for the purpose < f reap
ing a rich harveet of profit from the trade—ami
the voice of the slave dealer on the ahores of Af
rica wss perfect mnsic in their ears, because it was
the music of gold told in the treisoTT. and all mer
ry Enviand danced with joy ai the pleasant sound.
You have been well informed, doubtless, of the
treaties made hy yonr Queen Anne, r,f • Ufsaed
memory,’ and the crown of Spain. whlc U stipula
ted a m'oßopoly of the tog# in clow partnership,
between these royal personages, to the exclusion
of all the world hoaide. Yes, you are altogether
correot in describing whatever there la of immor
ality or crime, in the present condition of the
Southern States to your own England. The colo
nies remonstrated, and remonstrated in vain, un
til, driven to desperation, by her pcrsverancc.thev
severed the bonds that bound tb»m to England,
and established tbeir independence, and abolished
the slave trade by their only resource, the power
of tho sword, the great slave market, in wnieq
England had enjoyed a monopoly, was thus lost
to her: and trom that moment she began to dis
cover that there was something rather i ..moral in
the traffic. Before, the slave ship was a stately
argosy laden with treasure. Tb» groans o/ its nn
happy viotima oonld not be heard above the surg
es of the ocean. Soon after, a faint cry could be
heard, borne on the winds from Afrie’s coast: and
now, tho Parliament Honse resounds with the
. clanking of the chains and the cries of the vie-
time. Such the mighty influence of the Ameri
can Revolution, and such the power 01 the sword
wielded that aver glorious strugg e. I desire to

it sounds harshly in our ears to be admonished by
yon of onr sin*, real or imaginary. There is a
prond heart »n the American breast, which rebels
against all assumption on tho part of others, nl
though they may wear ducal coronets, or be con
sidered the stars of fashion iu foreign courts.
Manage your own affairs as best, you may, and
leave us to manage ours an we may think proper.
Each of us will find abundant cm ploy mo lit in the
performance of our respective duties. If you
wish a suggestion as to tho suitable occupation of
your idle hours, I will poiut you to the true field
for your philanthropy: the unsupplied wants of
your own people of England. Tn view of your
palaces, there is misery and suffering enough to
excite your most active sympathies. I remember
to have seen, lately, that there were in the city of
London alone, 100,000 persons who rose in tho
morning without knowing where or how thoy
were to obtain their “daily bread,” and I remem
ber, also, somewhere to havo seen that tho Elee
mosynary establishment of England costa annually
ten million pounds sterling—a sum greater than
that expended by this frugal and economical gov
ernment of ours, with its army and navy, and civil
and diplomatic list. Surely, surely here is n field
large enough for the exercise oftho moaf generous
sympathy—-the most unbounded charity. Go,
my good Duchess ot Sutherland, on an embassy of
mercy to tho poor, tho stricken, the hungry and
the naked of your own land—cast in their laps
the sunerflux of your enormous wealth ; a single
jewel from your hair, a single gem from y our dress
would reliovc many a poor female of England who
is now-pold, and shivering, and destitute. Enter

of Russia yon will not go. That is an European
affair, tho affair of a hitth and imperial monarch,
and of a rich and powerful aristocracy. The poor
serf may toil una Isbor, and stretch his heart

the ststo of slavery in onr Southern States—and I
(ell yon that you’are mistaken in supposing that
tho Southern heart is different from your own in
its sympathies and emotions. Believe me, that
the unman heart is quite as susceptible with us,
as wi“h you. Mornhsts, and dealers in Action,
may artfully overdraw ami give fulse coloring, as
they are licensed to do; but lie not deceived into
the belief that tho heart of man or woman, on this
side of the Atlantic, is cither more obdurate or
cruel than on yours. There is no reason, then,
why you should leave yonr fellow subjects in
misery at home, in order to take your seal by the
sido of the black man on the plantations ot Ameri
ca. Even if you arp horror stricken at tho highly
colored picture of hninan distress, incident to the
separation of husband and wife, and parents and
children, nndcr our system of negro slavery—a
thing, by tho wsv, of rare occurrence among us,
and then attended hv peculiar circumstances—you

Minister, your Parliament, and y onr Courts, and
ask their interference to arrest tliis moral and po
litical iniquity, ami yon will bo told, “Woman

For another subject quite as fruitful of sympathy
I need only refer you to the condition of Ireland,
with ita population but reoently starving for food,
1 which was freely supplied from our granaries, and
at this moment craving mercy from avaricious
1 landlords, who, to extend tho area ot grazing lauds,
; are leveling their liumblo cottages to the ground,
ami sending thorn forth to die npon tho publia
highways. Women ol England I go thither with
your tender charities. There, on tho roadside,
sinks an attenuated and exhausted mother, still
straining her perishing ohlid ta her breast, while
tho unhappy husband and father, himself foodless
arid raimentless, sheds drops of agony oy« tho
heart-rending aceno. Spare, from the well fed ne
groes of these Slates, one drug of your enper
ahonudiug sympathy, to pour into that hitter cun
which is overrunning with sorrow and with tears.
Poor, sutler.ng, down-tredden Ireland 1 land of
poetry and song, of noble feeling and generona
emotions—birth-place ot tho warrior, the states
man, the orator—there la no room for yon in tho
sympathising hearts of the women of F.iighind 1—
I.et the Celtic race be driven, hy starvation, from
the land of their fathers, an l its exodus would be
regarded not with sorrow, bnt with joy and glad
ness bv the secret heart of England. “ fieligious
toleration” is but an unmeaning phrase with the
the people of Great Britain—it extends not beyond
the lips. A difference in crcorl lias been the
death blow to Ireland.
I reason not with you on tho snbject of our do
moßtio institutions. Such as they tire, they are
ours. “We fear the U rooks tliouji bearing pre
sents.” Never was adage more applicable—»l
. though profcasing friendship arid sympathy, wo
cannot consent that England shall mix herself up
with our oonoems. We prefer to work out our
own destiny. When she might have done so, she
gave not relief. We asked her for bread, and she
gave ns a stone. The African, under her policy
and by her laws, became property. That property
has descended from father to son, and constitutes
a large part of (Southern wealth. We desire no
intrusion of advice as to our individual property
rights, at home or abroad. We meddle not with
your laws of primogeniture and entail, although
they are obnoxious to all onr notio sofjustire, and
are in violation of the laws of nature. Would the
noble ladies of England fi;ql no resentment, if we
should address '.otto upon thoso subjects 1 And
yet it there ft eortninty that our voice would uot be
heard by the toiling and landless mil leaf ,in favor
offtsystem which we consider more wins, more
just and more con.datent with the holy word of
God f W», however, preach no crusade awsinst
aristocratic eataklwhirenti. It is enrugh for ns
that wo do not allow them tosgtsianiongourselves.
W« are eontentto leave England in the enjavuient
of her peculiar iuatlttui nsand we iiiaist upon the
right to regulate ours without herald. I pray yon
to hear in mind, that the golden rule oflite is for
each to attend to hia own htwiners, and let hi*
neighbor’s alone! This mcana peace, love and
friendship. The opposite means hatred, ill-will,
contention—it deatroyathe peace of neighborhoods,
and is the fruitful cause ol di.-oord among nations.
I must site say to yon frankly, that we regard Eng
land as so indifferent adviser on the snbject of no
gra slavery- Her statesmanship, if it be judged
by her course of policy in regard to the West lnd»

Cigars and Cognac.
The Treasury tables for tho past year will give
on some curious and striking taots. We are very
apt to consider ti e; gn at grain growing interest as
one of pm amount importance in tins country, and
no doubt very many will bo surprised to learn, as
they will by Mr, Oorwtu’s figures, that wo smoke
up in Havana cigars the whoie export of wheat,
and drink down ir. French cognac, the entire ex- I
port of Indian ooru.
fegn tint.Uaoh,gusts ending 80th Juno last, the
- ’ I - were received from tiie HnnsO towns
mid Holland, where a liugo business done In imi
tating the Havana cigar with American, or Ameri
can and other tobacco mixed, and packing them
in boxes made ol Cuban cedar for the North Eu*
vopcnti and American markets. Some idea may bo
formed of the difference between tho Havana ci
gar and thcOeumiu from the average cost as stated
in the custom retnrns. Those from Cuba are re
turned as costing $14.88 a thousand, white the
other kinds am stated at $8 71. These figures de
monstrate that nearly one-half" of the imported ci
gars retailed in this counlry a» “Havanas” arc
spurious.
To the estimato of the cost of cigars smoked by
our population there are } et other items to be add
ed. The entire importation during tho last fiscal
year is shown to iiavo been 819,000 thousands,
costing, according to actual entries at tiio custcm
iioiiso, $2,985,107. If to this wo add (I per cent,
for freight, insurance and charges, 40 per cent, for
tiio duties, tvo have n until of $4,358,256. To this
w e may ug.iin add P or cent, at tho least as the
importer's probable profits ot jobber or second
dealer, and on til s 20 per cent, for retailers’ pro
fits, and wo have a sum of over $6,000,000 expen
diture for an article wholly and entirely a luxury,
amfwhieha portion of our community consider as
immoral, pernicious and unhealthy. What the
consumption of hotne-mndo cigars is we havo no
statistics at hand to ascertain.
The export of Indian corn during tho same po
riod was valued at $1,540,225, and of corn meal
$574,830, ricking together $2,114,605. Wo have
not at hand the table of imports of liquors, but tho
returns ol the New-York custom-house state that
that city imported in 1852 French cognao and
other brandies to the value of $1,494,685. Allow
ing the Now-York figures to represent tho sixty
per cent, of tho total imports in the country, this
would give a oost valuo of brandy of
$2,487,161. Without going into the minute calcu
lations given abovo on she cost of cigars, wo may
safely announce that six millions of dollars moro
ate expended in this country for imported bran
dies. “Wo sro under the impression that some
brandy not imported is nlso consumed.
Wo\lo not consider it necessary to contlnncthls
parallel further. The facts given above are suf
ficiently instructive. Tho Now-York Times, in !
which wo find a portion of tiio abovo statistics,
says “that to run Hie comparison through the
provision list, we should find that it requires at)
tlie hog meat, $8,765,470, to support our watch
fobs, and that we annually guzzle more champagne
and port and such like mixtures of grape and
alcohol, than all our beef and butter export, $2,-
279,820, will pay for.”

ing amusing notice of hia pcrsouel and dreas:
Ab to the face and figure, nature had been
equally little at pains to stamp with any princely
effigy of what pleases, the virgin gold of which
sho hud composed hiH head anil heart. Except
that liiß countenance wes thoughtful and benign
ant, it had nothing about it that would have com
manded a second look. (separately, his features
were but indifferent; jointly they weie no more
than commonplace. Then, as to tho statnre, shape
and carriage, there was nothing in him that wua
not rather the opposite of commanding or pre-pos
sessing; ho was tall; yatlils height was without
the lock of either strength or lightness, and g ve
neither dignity nor grace. His body seemed as '
ill ns hismiud well compacted; ho not only was
without proportion, but ot members singularly ill
knit, that dangled from each other (and louked
h-vs u«, " fotoa'a ho rireescll.verjr.esre-.,
ic.-isly ; in the garb, but 1 should not dbre to say in
the mode of tho last contury. Yon would hove
thought lie had on tho old olothes of a former
generation, not made for him by even enine su
perannuated tailor of that period, bill gotten from
the wardrobe of some antiquated slop simps of
second-hauded reiuicat. Shapeless as lie wus, ho
would probably have defied all fitting, by what
ever skill of the shears; judge, then, how Hie vest
ments of an age when, apparently, coafo and
b.euches were cut tor nobody iu particular, and
waistcoats were utmost dronsing gowns, sat upon
him. To complete these Pcriections of attire, it is
necessary, though 1 am ashamed, to odd that the
admirable judge, whom, above all men that l km
to draw, I would have you love and veuerat*—was
mio of those people to whom, in sutue mys
terious way, the gilt of loqkfog ckisu is de

a Naiad, and the vouguoce of the lytuputhic pow

one of thorn (hit bore not upon his linen signs of
that old quarrel. Or the j.ulgo may havo incurred
that part of the “Curse of Koimmo,” whioh inter
dicted ih« sufferer from being touched by wuter,
even when he wur, Hung into it. Hence, perhaps,
the great jurist’s unwashed nppeuranoe. (Jcrtniu

A New Gits Basest.— We were shown to-day a
eerv ingeniously constructed rifle, invented by
Col p.\V. Porter, of Tennessee, which, to ell ap
pearance, is tlto roost destructive weapon for lie
'ize win oil the ingenuity of men hue yet devised.
It i« provided with e cylinder at the bane of the
n»rrcl capable of containing nine separate charge*,
which can be discharged in as tnuny seconds. A
magazine has also been invented to fit on the loch,
Capable of holding an indefinite nimbler of charges,
by the aid of which it may be practicable to make
sixty disc!iurges it tninute. The putentoo claims
that, by the arrangement of his lock, tbe powder
obtains more complete combustion thua in any
ftlier gun now in sac, because the ignition take*
place nearer the bail. The lock opens on hinges
as ee>ii> ss the doer of a closet, an as to permit the
iaaest acoose to the cylinder and all the parts of the
machinery, for cleaning, repairing, or any other
purpose. ’ It Is seif napping and setf-priu.icg, and
