Bishop Lyon .enjoyed his elevation for

When that melancholy event occurred,
he thought it Jiis duly to pay the last
honors to his royal mistress, and accord-

Englishmen in justification of the regard
paid to the aristocracy in appointments
and promotions in the British army.—
The remark of Mister Wsflfcington as.he
was once called by British generals and
writers, that an officer should “ be a
gentleman,” is now quoted in England
to vindicate the practice of sustaining
the younger sons of the nobility nt the
expense of the State. : But the definition
of the term “gentleman” is somewhat
different in England and America. A
, gentleman in England is one who has
dead that washed j gentle or nohle blood, and who follows
no business vocation. A gentleman in
England may be a very great black
guard, and still be a gentleman. Here,
every man in every station is a gentle
man who has an upright and honorable
nature. Consequently, when Washing
ton spoke of gentlemen, he did not con
fine his remark to men of aristocratic
descent, for then he would have pro
nounced condemnation upon some of the
best and bravest generals and officers
in the American service, first among

The result justified his wonderful pen

His ‘‘gentlemen” were those whom Na

ever, thought better than to send his

The American consul here has made a
demand on the Portuguese Government
for a hundred thousand dollars, for the
privateer; which our consul here, Mr.
Parkin, thinks in justice will be paid,
and that they will claim on England.—
Mr. Parkin, Mr; Edward Bayley and
other Englishmen, disapprove of the
outrage and depredation committed by
our vessel on this occasion. The ves
sel (a ship-of-war) that was despatched
to England with the wounded, was not
permitted to take a single letter from
any person. Being an eye-witness to
all this transaction, I have given you a
correct statement, as it occurred.

Hungary.
In the last number of the London
“ Foreign Quarterly Review” there is a
longand elaborate article upon Hungary,
arid as the eyes of the world are now
fixed upon this country, the following
particulars, which we take from the
Review, may uol be uninteresting to the
reader.
The nation which we call Hungary is,
as was stated in the last letter of our
London correspondent, composed of
many nationalities, included in the Aus
trian dominions, and extends from the
Carpathian mountains on the north to
the Gulfof Quarnero on the Adriatic and
the Turkish frontier. Longitudinally,
it extends from the Austrian boundary
• | line of Moravia, Lower Austria, Styria,
a | and Illyria on the west, and eastward
the Alpine chain which bounds
are extensive gardens, and
side of them are the residences of the
English and Americans.
The palace of the Pope is near the
centre of the city. The Church of St.
Peter is on the west side ; it is 750 feet
long, and 530 wide, and will hold 52,-
000 people, ft costs S50,000,000.—
The statue of St. Peter stands not far
distant. It was formerly a statue of Ju
piter, .and was changed by one of the
early Popes into that of the apostle by
some mysterious power without chang
ing us-material substance in the least,
'which gave rise to the remark of the
wag, that it was formerly the statue of
Jupiter, and it is that of Jaw-Peter still.
The report that the great toe of this
statue lias been entirely worn away by
lhe lips of ihe Catholics is not exactly
true, li is a Protestant slander. Yet
it is true that the repeated kisses of the
faithful for hundreds of years have worn
it away considerably. No Catholic
passes it without stopping to kiss it,—
To see poor ignorant people do so, that
is bad enough ; but to see men of learn-
ingarnl science, and of cultivated minds,
like the Pope and Cardinals, constantly
approaching this image with all rever
ence, and wiping this toe with their
handkerchiefs, kiss it, wipe it again,
and go on their way, is quite beyond
endurance. One can have no patience
with them-—Dr. Baird.

such means can the store houses of the
mind be filled. But some will say,
what is the use of talking about dili
gence and perseverance to us, who can
not become diligent and persevering,
try what we will? To such we'an-

way or in real, earnest ? In what way
are machines put in motion ? By pow

and crank will not move.; but once ap

mind, there 'must bo impulses or mo
tives, which are the same as power, and
when these come thoroughly into action,
we shall not be long in finding out that
habits of diligence and perseverance
grow out of them as naturally as chick
ens from eggs. Therefore we say, do
not sit down despairing, or persuading
yourself that it is of no use to try. Per
