Seven long yearning years had now elap sed since, with the budding anticipation of youthful hope, I had assumed the lugubn ous insignia of the bar. During that dread ful time, each morn as old St. Giles tolled the hour of nine, might I be seen insinua ting my emaciated figure within the pene tralia of the Parliament house, where be- gowned and bewigged, and with the zeal of a Powell or a Barclay, I paced about until two^ These peripatetic practices had well nigh ruined me in Wellingtons, and latter ly. in shoes. Mv little Erskine was in pawn, while my tailor and my ^landlady threw out most damning hints of their long bills and longer credit. I dared not understand them; but consoled myself with the thought, that the day would come when iny tailor would cease fiis dunning and my landlady her clamor. I had gone the different circuits,: worn and torn my gown, seated myself in awful con templation on the side benches, maintained angry arguments on legal points with some more favored brother, within earshot of a wily writer. In fine, I had resorted to ev ery means that fancy could suggest, or ex perience dictate; but as yet my eyes had this was denied. I might be said to be, as yet no barrister; for what is at; lawyer with out a fee? A nonentity! a shadow! To my grief, I seemed to be fast verging to the lat ter; and I doubt much whether the “An!t- toifiie vivantee” could have stood the com parison—so much had feeless fast fed on my flesh. I cannot divine the reason for this neglect of my legal services. In my own heart, I had vainly imagined the suffi ciency of my tact and sublety in unraveling a nice point; neither had I been wanting in my attention to my studies; for heaven and my landlady can bear witness that my con sumption of coal and candle . would have sufficed ally two ordinary readers. There was not a book or treatise on law which I had not dived into—I was insatiable in literature ; but the world and writers seem ed ignorant of my brain-belaboring system, and sedulously determined that my feeling- propensities should not be gratified. Never did I meet an agent either in or out of court, but my heart and hand felt a pleas- ng glow of hope and of joy at the prospect of pocketing a fee; but how often have they turned their backs without even the mortifying allusion to such a catastrophe ! How often have I turned round in whirling ecstasy as I felt some seemingly patronising palm tap gently on my shoulders, with such a tap as writer’s clerks are wont to use; but, oh, ye gods! a grinning wretch merely ask ed me how 1 did, and passed on! Nor were my legal friends more kind. There was an old gentleman, who, I knew (for I had made it my business to enquire) had some thoughts of a law-plea. From him I re ceived an invitation to dinner. Joyfully, as at all times, but more so on this occasion, was the summons obeyed. I had laid a train to introduce the subject of his wrongs at a time which might suit best, and with this plan I commenced my machinations. The old fox was too cunning even for me— he too had his plot, and had hit upon the expedient of obtaining my opinion without a fee!—the skinflint! Long and doubtful was the contest—hint succeeded hint, ques tion after question was put, till at last my entertainer was victorious, and I retired crestfallen and feeless from the field! By the soul of Erskine, had it not been for his dinners, I should have cut him for ever 1 Still I grubbed with this one, cultivated an acquaintance with that, but all to no pur pose—no one pitied my position. My tor ments were those of the damned ! Hope (not the president) alone buoyed me up- visions of future sovereigns, numerous as those which appeared to Banquo of old, but of a better and more useful kind, flitted be fore my charmed imagination. Pride, pov erty,.and starvation pushed me on. What, Said 4,\shall it be hinted that I am likely neither, to have a fee nor a feed?—tell it not in the First Division—publish it not in the Outerhouse!—All my thoughts were rive ted to one object—to one object all my en deavors were bent, and to accomplish this seemed the ultimatum of bliss. Often have I looked with envy upon the more favored candidates for judicial fame—those who never return to their domicile or their din ner,,hut to find their tables groaning with briefs? How different from my case! My case? What case? I have no case!—Not one fee to mock its own desolateness! Months and months passed on—still success came not! The hoped for event came not—res olution died within me—I formed serious intentions of being even with the profession. As the profession had cut me, I intended to have cut the profession. In my wants, I would have robbed, but my hand was with held by the thought, that the jesters of the stove might taunt me thus—“He could not live, so he died, by the law.” I have often thought that there is great similarity be tween the hangman and the want of a fee— the one is the finisher of the law, and the other of lawyers! Pondering on my griefs, with my feet on the expiring embers of a sea-coal fire, the chair in that swinging position so much practiced and approved in Yankee Land— the seat destined for a clerk occupied by my cat, for I love every thing of the feline spe- cies—-my cogitations were disturbed by an application for admittance at the outer-dpor. It was not the rat-tat of the postman, nor the rising and falling attack of the m anof fashion, but a,compound of both, which ev idently bespoke the knockee unaccustomed to town. I am somewhat curious iu knocks —-I admire the true principles of the art, by which one may distinguish the peer from the postman—the dun from the dilettante— i the footman from .the furnisher. But there was something in this knock which baffled all my skill; yet sweet withal, thrilling through my heart with a joy unfelt before; Some spirit must have pbrished in the sound, for it seemed to me the music of the spheres. A short time elapsed, and my landlady “opened wide the infernal doors.” Now hope cut capers—-(Lazenby, thou wert not to blame, for of thy delicacies I dared not even dream!)—now hope cut capers within me! Heavy footsteps were heard in the passage, and one of the lords of the creation marched his calves into the apartment. With alacrity I conveyed my corpus juris to meet him! and with all civility, I request «d him to be seated. My landlady with her apron dusted the armchair (I purchased it atasale'of Lord M——~&jffiecds -riot cau ses—expecting to catch inspiration.) In not be mistaken; a less keen glance than mine might have discovered their import. My joy was now beyond all bounds, testify ing itself by sundry kickings and contortions ofttiie body. 1 began to fear the worthy The Struggle in Cuba..

My guest thrust into my hands the papers, and then proceeded to issue letters of open doors against his dexter pocket. His intentions were evident; with difficulty could I retain myself. For some minutes “he groped about the vast abyss,” during which time my agitation increased so much, that I could not have answered one_ ques tion, even out of that favorite chapter of one of our institutional writers, “On the Insti tution of Fees.” But let me describe the man to whom I owe so much. He was a short, squat, farmer-looking be ing, who might have rented some fifty acres or so. Though stinted in his growth up wards, Dame Nature seemed determined to make him amends by an increase of dimen sion in every other direction. His nose and face spoke volumes—ay, libraries o and ale; these potations had also made them selves manifest lower down, by the magni tude of the beliggerent powers. There was in his phiz a cunning leer, in his figure a knowing tournure, which was still further heightened by his dress; this consisted of a green coat, which'gave evident signs of its utter incapability of ever being identified United States District Court. that isiatid. For a month past the New York Courier & Enquirer and other papers heretofore the Avowed enemies of the Cu ban cause, have been filled with accounts of the spontaneous movement no w goiug on in that island, and which has for its ob ject the overthrow of the tyrannical des potism by which the Cuban people have been so long outrageously oppeessed. The history of these events has convinced even the prejudiced minds of those who have taken the lead in denouncing allmani testa tions of sympathy in this country for the Cubaps, of the legitimacy of their cause and of their resolution to free themselves from the rule of their oppressors. As usu al, that government has used every means in.its power to suppress the truth, but des pite of its efforts,, enough has transpired to show not only that an active determined revolutionary sentiment pervades the is land, but that the government itself, with all its means of suppression—with its dun geons, scaffolds, spies, and armed mercena ries—is terrified at the prospect of its spee dy overthrow.

But in this man’s appearance there was a something which pleased me—something of a nature superior to other mortals. I might have been prejudiced, but his face and figure seemed to be more beautiful than morn ing. Never did I gaze with more complacent benevolence on a breeeches’ pocket. At last he succeeded in dragging from jts depths a huge old stocking, through which ‘‘the yellow lettered Geordies keeked.” With what raptures did I look on that old stocking, the produce, I presumed, of the stocking of his farm. It seemed to possess the power of facination, for my eyes could not quit it. Even when my client (for now I calculated upon bin)—even when my cli ent began to speak, my attention still wan dered to the stocking. He told me of a dis pute with his landlord, about some matters relating to his farm, that he was wronged, and would have the law of the land, though he should spend his last shilling (here 1 looked with increased raptures at the stock ing.) On the recommendation of the min ister (good man!) he had sought me for ad vice. He then opened wide the jaws of his homely purse—he inserted his paw—now my heart beat--he made a jingling noise mv heart beat quicker still—he pulled forth his two interesting fingers—Oh, ecstasy! he pressed five guineas into my extended hand —they touched the virgin palm, and oh! ye gods! I was Feed !!! Bargain Hunting.—If there is one thing that women love more than another, it is bargain hunting. Only make “the dear souls” believe that you are “sacrificing” cambrics and laces at- 50 per cent below prime cost, and they will buy whole cart loads of the trash, whether they want it or not. There are men in town who have made fortunes by just ruining themselves two or three times a year, and by “selling off” their entire stock by order of the assignees. In deed it is an axiom with our dry goods men that ladies will never enter a shop so long a3 remunerating prices are asked. On the contrary, only make “the angels” Relieve that you are going to the dogs and that you are giving away your goods, “in order to close the store on the first of next month, and down they will come upon you in droves, and for the gratification of buying a shilling apron for ninepence, will give whatever you may ask for any thing else yuu mav oiler. Like owls, women delight to haunt “ruins”—a ruined haberdasher in particular. rates desire to disturb the present order of things. The journals in this country that reiterated this slander upon the Cubans and their American friends now hold a different language—they now admit the justness of the Cuban cause, and are foremost in pro claiming the existence of a bona Jida revo lutionary sentiment and purpose in Cuba. Hence it is that we see for the -first time, the government of Cuba prohibiting the circulation of American papers in the Is land. While such papers as the New-York Courier, Herald, Journal of Commerce, Ex press, New Orleans Bulletin and True Del ta, joined in denouncing the Cuban exiles in this country as mercenary adventures, and in warning their readers against them us leaders of piratical expeditions against a friendly, peaceful and contented govern ment and people, we heard only of the pro hibition of the papers in this country friend ly to the Cuban cause. Now all American papers are to be prohibitsd. But as we have said, the true state of things in Cuba can no longer be disguised, the long smouldering volcano is heaving from its depths, and the flashes which now illuminate the darkness with which a bar barous despotism has enshrouded that beau tiful island, are but the precursors of the terrific storm that is soon to burst forth, and which will leave her political atmos phere calm, serene, and bright without a vestige of the wrong and oppression which has so long darkened the horizen of her hopes. In the words of the New York Courier and Enquirer, “The struggle soon er or later will come. We may invoke it or not, or we may deprecate it; but it is a- lilce inevitable.” When it <£oes come, its result is alike cer tain and. inevitable.—Sav. News. In India and Africa, tropical climates, it as frequent as in Europe or North America. All the curative^resorts, now in fashin, are more productive of consumption than any locality of Great Britain. Naples, Florence, Nice, Genoa, Venice, all generate more con sumption than London, Liverpool, Edin burgh, and Manchester. Madeira, the cho sen paradise of pulmonary patients, is more unfavorable to the disease than England. Aix and Montpelier are no better, if not worse. Pisa is worse than all; so that Ital ian climate, for consumptive-cure, is pro nounced an arrant “humbug.” Change of air, in the same climate, is the sanative the ory of Dr. Burgess, deduced from the most expansive observations and industrious ex periments in “climatology.” “Give me Ita ly, or I perish,” “give us a warm- climate,” which is now the fasionable cry of rich pa tients, will soon be changed to “change of air at home,” in the opinion of Dr. Burgess, whoso new theory will bring consolation, if not cure, to every poor person who-labors under this afflictive malady and cannot take a voyage to Italy UnitedStatea versus James K. Lockhart was continued, and’Lockhart released on the recognisance of his mother. The District Attorney adop ted this course, in consequence of Lockhart having fallen into a state of mental irabecU-. ity approaching to idiocy, which rendered a trial out of the question. William Bevis, charged with unlawfully detaining a letter, plead guilty. The offence inthe case hav ing proceeded mainly from ignorance, find involving a dismissal from office, the sen tence of the Court was limited, in further consideration of the small means of the de fendant, an imprisonment for six hours, and a fine of fifty dollars. In the indictments against Thomas J. Hughes, charged with obtaining a pension by false swearing, &c., the defendant’s counsel having pleaded .the statute of limitations, and having also made a showing for a continuance to the next term, the District Attorney, in order to savp the government a needless, expense, entered a nolle pi'oscqui with the exception of one case which stands continued. Several civ il caies of importance were also argued and disposed of, this being a District Court with Circuit powers and jurisdiction.—Marietta Advocate. Methodist Church South.—From the Seventh Annual report of this Society it ap pears that the Methodist Church, South, has a prominent mission, supported at consider able expense. They have also ten missions among the Germans, seven missionaries 332 members and’136 Sabbath School scholars. In their Indian work they have 31 missions, 27 missionaries, 4447 members, 1261 schol ars in schools, and 489 Sabbath School scholars. There twenty missions in Cali fornia, thus forming a conference. The.fol lowing is the annual contributions from 1846 to the year 1852, inclusive: 1846, $58,529; 1847, $73,697; 1848, $62,613; 1849, $65,495; 1850,-$85,973; 1851, $113,- 801; 1852, $120,000. From the foregoing it will be. seen that the contributions, in the space of seven years, havH*nearly doubled. In the destitute portions of the regular work, there are 136 missions; 106 missionaries, 22,578 white members! 1922 colored mem bers; and 3089 Sunday School scholars church “ One” of the New Hampshire Girls.—A correspondent of the Boston Journal relates the following account of a New Hampshire girl, Miss Bosina Delight Richardson, only daughter oFMr. and Mrs. Richardson, of Cheshire county, to whom he had an intro duction a few. days since : “Miss llosina is nineteen years of age, is 5 feet 3 1-4 inches in height, measures 5 feet 4 1-4 inches around the wast, 6 teet 2 inches around the hips, 22 inches around tbe arm, above the elbow, 14 inches around the arm below the elbow, and 2 feet 10 inches in a straight line across the should ers. At birth she weighed 6 lbs.; at five years, 148 lbs.; at ten years, 268 lbs.; at fifteen years, 365 lbs.; and now, at nine teen years of age, she weighs 478 lbs. On estimating the quantity of cloth in her clothing, when dressed for a ride on a win ter’s day, we found it to contain 98 1-2 yards of three fourths yards wide cloth. She has brown hair, dark blue eyes, is ot fair complexion, and has what phrenologist would call a well-balanced head, the per ceptive organs predominating. She can knit, spin, weave, make a shirt or a batch of bread, is a gqod singer, and plays the piano with taste and skill-—is considered one of the best scholars in the town where she re sides; is courteous and lively in conversa tion, and evinces a general knowledge which might raise a blush on the cheek of our city belles.” Captain Jewett's Speculation in Lobos Guano.—A letter from Capt. James C. Jewett to Mr. Webster dated August 16th, contains a list of fifteen ships ot 900 tons capacity, and six barks of 400 tons that have been dispatched by him and others to Lobos Islands in search of guano,- since Mr. Webster’s first letter on the subject; and Captain Jewett states that they were sent on the stjenght of the opinion express ed in that letter, and the protection prom ised from our naval force. One ot these .essels, the barque Sarah Chase, was more over, armed previous to sailing, and had 50 men on board. Many other vessels were directed by the same parties to be sent on the same business, so there will probably be, ere long, a very fleet of American ves sels at the islands, to obtain cargoes of gu ano. Capt. Jewett, in July, also dispatched an agent into the Pacific, by way of Pana- with instructions to charter vessels to load guano at the islands. In his letter to the supercargo of the armed vessel, he tells him to use the utmost dispatch, take pos session of all the available loading places in both bays of the islands, and it anp resis tance should be offered, to meet it with his national flag flying upon his vessel. The same letter states that a large number of the vessels were chartered to take cargoes of guano to English ports. Had the Uni ted States Government continued in the po sition first taken by Mr. Webster, the re suit would have been that Captain Jewett would have forestalled everybody, and roo nopolized the business at once. As it is, he himself is likely to be the chief sufferer by the delusion. Statistics of Muscular Power.—Man has the power of imitating almost every motion but that of flight. To effect these,, he has iu maturity and health 60 bones in his head, 60 in his thighs and legs, 62 in his arms and hands, and 67 in his trunk. He has also 434 muscles. His heart makes 64 pulsations in a minute; and therefore 3840 in an hour, 92,160 in a day. There are also three complete circulations of his blood in the short space of an hour. In respect to the comparative speed ofanima- ted beings, and of impelled bodies, it m*y be remarked that size and construction seem to have little influence, nor has com parative strength, though one body giving any quantity of motion to. another, is said to lose so much of its own. The sloth, is by no means a small animal, and yet it can travel only fifty paces in a daya worm crawls only five inches in fifty seconds; but a lady-bird can fly twenty millions of times its own length in less than an hour. An elk can run a mile ard a half in seven-mm- utes; an antelope a mile in a minute; the wild mule of Tartary has a speed even -greater than that; an eagle can fly 18 eagues in an hour ; and a Canary falcon can even reach 250 leagues in the short space of sixteen hours. A violent wind travels 60 miles in an hour; sound, 1,142 English feet in a second.—Bucke. this said chair my man ensconced his clay I had commenced my survey of his person wheu my eyes were attracted by a basilisk like bunch of papers which the good soul held in his hand.

A Dutchman, having a friend hung in this country, wrote to his friends, inform ing them that, after addressing a large meeting of citizens, the scaffold on which he stood gave way—-owing to which, he j fell and broke his neck;/ r - Life Saving Apparatus.— The recent disasters of the steamer Henry Clay on the Hudson, the Atlantic on Lake Erie, and the still later explosion of the Reindeer at Sau- gerties, has brought public attention to the invention of appliances for saving life in such emergencies. Life preserving chairs, were first spoken of, then came life preser ving trunks, and now we have announced the°mvention of life preserving coats The vestment is a water proof covering, which may be worn at any time, to protect the clothes from rain or dust. Iu the waist of the coat is permanently fastened an air tight tube, made exactly like the ordinary life-preserver. The advantage is in having the life preserver always ready to be infla ted, a work of a few seconds only, and hav ing a comfortable travelling-coat adapted to alf the necessities and conveniences for travelling. Ladies’ and! children’s travel- lingjsacks could be made in the same man ner,^land thus every individual have the means of preserving life. Two Kentuckians Killed.—A California letter gives the following account of a trag edy in which two Kentuckians were en gaged: \ “A terrible tragedy was enacted on the Plains, near Bear River. It occured between two brothers-in law, Beasely and Beal. The parties agreed on a separation, and Beasly got the weaker team, and had a sick mania his wagon. Immediately after the division, he hitched up his team and proceeded on his journey, leaving Beal at Gieen River. In a few hours after, Beal started, and du ring the day overtook Beasly on a hill where he had stopped to rest his mules. The for mer turned out of the road and passed by— the latter asking him if it were his inten tion to leave him (Beasly) with the sick. Up on Eeal’s answer being given in the affirm ative, Besly stepped to the front of his own wagon, drew out his rifle, and deliberately shot him down, killing him instantly. A large train came up about this time, and stopped and buried the murdered man. Beasly was tried; found guilty, and shot the next morning. Both were from Kentucky.” Sister Mary.—“Why Charley, dear boy, what’s the matter? You seem quite miser able.” Charley.— “Ah! aint I, just?

I mean how long has it been since you, cut it?” “No longer than it is now.” “Go ahead engineer.” An English paper states that a lage num j her of kid gloves are made of rat skins. Post Office Envelops.—The post-route bill passed by Congress contains a provision authorizing the post office department to cause envelops to be made, with suitable water marks on the paper, identifying them as official, and with a printed stamp, for single or double postage, with a suitable de vice. These envelops are to be sold at all the post-offices, at the price of the stamps now sold—with the very small addition of the actual cost of the envelops. This will enable persons to deposit their letters, pre paid, in the post-offices, at all hours, with out trouble or inconvenience,, and without the risk of Raving double , postage charged on a letter, by reason of the stamp slipping off, by the time the letter gets in the office, if not before, as is too often the case now. It will also admit of the-safe transmission of letters by private hand, when preferred, without a violation of the post office laws, which after 1st of October will bq very strip gent on the subject, LaJoven Cuba.— Young Cuba.—This is the title of a new organization of friends of Cuba, which has been set on foot by some young Cubans, now in New Orleans. It is a good name, and, correctly pronounced, very euphonions. The Belta says the number of Cuban exiles in that city is increasing so rapidly that by the time the final blow for the ind-pendence of that island is to be struck, there will be enough to make a reg iment, and a gallant one we know it will be. The Cubans who accompanied Gen. Lopez in the gallant but unfortunate expedition, were placed by him in the advance, and fought with the utmost courage and.desper ation. There are a goodly number of Cu bans in this city, who, whenever the oppor tunity is again presented, will be foremost in the ranks of the liberators of their coun* try .r—Sav. News. ggT A man wrote to his friend in Greece, begging him to purchase for him some books.
