From Judge Barrington’s Personal Sketches of Ireland, Fifty Years Ago, INTERVIEW BETWEEN A. BLItR AND GRATTAN. Col. Burr, who had be-in V ice President of America, and probably would have been the next President, but for his unfortunate duel with General Hamilton, came over to England, and was made known to me lyy Mr. Randolph, of South Carolina, with whom I was very inti mate. He requested l would introduce him to Mr. Grattan, whom he was excessively anxious to see. Col. Burr was not a man of very pre possessing appearance; rough-featured, and neither dressy nor polished; but a well-informed, sensible man, and though not particularly agree able, vet an instructive companion. People in general form extravagant anticipa tions regarding eminent persons. ‘Pile idea of a great orator and an Irish chief carried with it, naturally enough, corresponding notions of physical elegance, vigor and dignity. Such was Col. Burr’s mistake, 1 believe, about Mr. Grattan, and 1 took care not to undeceive him. We went to mv friend’s house, who was to leave London the next day. 1 announced that Colonel Burr, from America, Mr. Randolpli and i myself, wish to pay our respects, and the j servant informed us that his master would re- | ceive us in a short time, but was at that moment j much occupied on business of consequence.— Burr’s expectations were all on the alert. Ran- j dolph also was anxious to he presented to the great Grattan, and both impatient for the en- j trance of this Demosthenes. At length the ! door opened, and in hopped a small bent figure, { meagre, yellow and ordinary; one slipper and ] one shoe; his breeches knees loose; his cravat ; hanging down ; his shirt and coat sleeves tucked up high, and an old hat upon his head. This apparition saluted the strangers very j courteously, asked, without an introduction, I how long they had been in England, and imme diately proceeded to make inquiries about the late General Washington and the revolutionary war. My companions looked at each other ; their replies were eostive, and they seemed quite impatient to see Mr. Grattan. 1 could scarcely contain myself, but determined to let my eccen tric countryman take his course, who appeared quite delighted to see his visitors, and was the the most inquisitive person in the world. Ran dolph was far the tallest and most dignified looking man of the two, gray-haired and well dressed. Grattan, therefore, of course, took him for the V ice President and addressed him j accordingly. Randolph at length begged to j know if they could shortly have the honor of j seeing Mr. Grattan. Upon which our host, not j doubting but they knew him, conceived it must be his son James for whom they inquired, and | said he believed he had that moment wandered out somewhere to amuse himself. This completely disconcerted the Americans, ■ and they were about to make tbwir bow ay „ jheir exit, when 1 thought it high time to explain , mid taking Colonel Burr and Mr. Randolph respec- j lively by the hand introduced them to Right Hon. I Henry Grattan. I never saw people stare so, or so much etn- I barrassed ! Grattan himself, now perceiving the { cause, heartily joined in my merriment. He j j pulled down his shirt-sleeves, [lulled up his slock- 1 ings, and in his own irresistible way, apologised j for the outre figure he cut, assuring them that he had totally overlooked it in his anxiety not j to keep them waiting; that he was returning to ; Ireland next morning, and had been busily pack- i ing up his hooks and papers, in a closet full of j dust and cobwebs! This incident rendered the ’ interview more interesting. The Americans ; were charmed with their reception, and after a j I protracted visit, retired highly gratified, while j Grattan returned again to his books and cob- j webs. Bishop Doane. Our readers are aware that one of the high \ functionaries of the episcopal church is now on j trial before his peers at Camden, New Jersey. The specifications in the presentment number j thirty-one. That the reader may understand ! the nature of the charges we give below tin ab stract of them. Specification 1. In contracting numerous j and large debts, beyond his means of payment, j amounting in March, 1849, to $280,000; his j property being not above $130,000. 2. In untruly stating that he gave up his ] property to meet a debt not personally to himself, j but growing out of his venture for Christian edu- j cation, in St. Mary’s Hall and Burlington Col- i lege. 3. In defrauding Michael Hays, of Burling ton, by misapplying notes endorsed by him. 4. A similar bharge of defrauding Joseph Deacon. 5. (’>, 7,8, 9, 10, and 11, charge him with i having obtained the names of Joseph Deacon I and others, to endorse his notes, by false repres entations, and offering notes without having property to meet them. 12. In jeopardizing the property of his ward, George D. Winslow, by appropriating the same to his usp. 13. Defrauding the Camden Bank in the sum of SIOO, by inducing the cashier not to protest a note, promising to send the money. 14. In drawing checks upon Burlington and other banks, not having money therein to meet said checks. 15. In using undue solicitation to induce Sarah C. Robardet to loan him SB,OOO. 1(5. Obtaining books from Herman Hooker for a parish library, and misapplying the money collected for that purpose. 17, 18. In incurring heavy liabilities while insolvent—several cases particularized. 19. In signing the name of Horace Binney, as a subscriber to a church, for SI,OOO, with out consent of said party. 20. In procuring from Mrr. Lippincott a se curity held by her, under promise of returning the same, which he failed to do. 25. Charging Bishop Doane with “procuring one MichaelHaysto endorse notes to the amount of more than a thousand dollars, for the accom modation of himself, in order that the said notes might be discounted, for which endorsements he paid, or engaged to pay Mr. Hays at an exor bitant rate, to wit: ofteu at 20 per cent, per an num in the several sums for which said notes were drawn, thereby violating the laws of New Jersey, when said endorsements were made, be coming guilty of usury himself, and inducing said Hays to incur equal guilt—all which was immoral and unbecoming a Bishop.” 26. In endeavoring to intimidate Joseph Dea con from taking proceedings against him, doub ling his fist and using the words, “I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you.” 28. Charges him with making an affidavit, purporting to give a full and true list of creditors, whereas the said affidavit did not contain a full s and perfect list—thus being guilty of a sinful • disregard of the solemnities of an oath, and either deliberately swearing to what he knew to be untrue, or of rashly, hastily, and unadvisedly swearing to what he did not know to be true. 31. In being repeatedly guilty of using spiri tous and intoxicating liquors to a degree unbe coming a Bishop; being so intoxicated on board the steamboat Trenton, in November, 1851. A charge of having been drunk in Bor dentown borough in 1847, contained in the form er presentment, is not repeated. The Emperor in Dishabille. The editor of the New York Observer, who is now travelling in Europe, in his last letter gives us an interesting account of Napoleon and his dishabille. They were on ail imperial hunt in the woods, whither the editor with a party of ladies had gone for the purpose of spying the imperial camp. The following extract is all we have space for: The ladies were all dressed with great ele gance, yet simply, in muslins without ornaments, and the gentlemen were in frock coats, and without any marks of rank. Indeed, no one would have supposed they were other than ordi nary men, either in dignity, dress, physiogno my or manner. The Emperor is a small man in stature, and wore a blue frock coat and gray pants, without any decoration, except the ribbon j in his button hole, which all distinguished French i gentlemen, and even many undistinguished, con- I stantly wear, He walked about and surveyed j the horses as if he knew more about them than i the politics of Europe. He walked in a half j shuffling, half mincing gait, like a decayed } | roue. He stooped considerably, and looked i upon the ground with the air of a student rath !er than a military man. Indeed, he looked like j adissipated,contemplative, selfish, scornful man, I whose life alternated between intellectual labor and sensual pleasure. There was nothing im posing, impressive, or dignified in his manner.— ! He wore a pair of white kid gloves, and swung j a walking stick like one who promenades Broad i way on a hot day. His numerous attendants seemed to be quite at their ease in his presence, and swaggered about him with their hats on, like a company of English aristocrats on the race ground, but he had little to say to any of them. After the ladies had taken on their light i bonnets, which now hung back of the head, ex- | posing the face very boldly, according to my ! ideas, they joined the gentlemen on the I grass plat before the house. Then they went j into dinner; the dining room occupied three- I fourths of the whole house. A band of mnsi- j cians was stationed under the windows and play- | ed most beautifully and noisily, but softly. As j the doors and windows were open, we could see ! i the tables and the people at dinner. The ser- j | vants who waited at the table, were in simple j I black cravats, like English clergymen, whom j I in aspect as well as dress, they strikingly resetn- I bled. The servants who were in livery were footmen, and of an inferior grade. The dinner occupied about an hour, and brought in requisi { tion an infinite number of plates, which were in B,evres china. The forks <• Ad spoons were sil ver gilt. The dishes were‘both porcelain and ; silver. They did not drink much wine or eat I much of the dessert, which was nearly all sent j j out as it. was brought iu. I observed that melons were eaten immediately after the fish. When ; all had dined, as at our ordinary table d’hote, ! they came in front of the house again—ladies j and gentlemen. The gentlemen did not remain ! to sip wine, as in England, after the ladies had retired. Coffee was then handed around in the 1 open aii', which all took standing. Most of the 1 gentlemen smoked cigarettes. I observed that j the Empress herself smoked one with the air of ! a lady accustomed to that soothing pleasure.— They all smoked incessantly. They then play ; ed a foot ball before the house, and between ns | spectators. The ladies entered into the ainuse ; meat with great ardor, and the Empress lore i her dress as it became entangled in her satin | hoot. Those who were not expert at kicking ! struck the ball with their lists and none showed iso much skill as the Emperor. They laughed i and talked and romped, with cigarettas iu their j mouths, in a queer way, which would have equally scandalized Queen Victoria or the prim ( maidens of a New England village. There was ! nothing hut fun and frolic, and a most marked j eqeality in the enjoyment. The ladies of our i party said that the Emperor danced the best, j and the Empress the next best. There was great | animation, quite different, I am told, from an | English ball room, where they dance as coldly [ and lifelessly as the ladies of Beacon street are | accustomed to bow to their acquaintances.— j English dignity would introduce formality and | stupidity even to the dance. But the French have less disdain of natural expressions of pleas ure, and if more artificial in ordinary life are at least more graceful and pleasing when they meet together. Think of an English monarch or nobleman dining in a frock coat or dancing with a eigaretta in his mouth, or at least sus- I pending the act of smoking only in the dance i itself. Now all these things I saw myself. Death of Admiral Cockburn. —Among the items of foreign news brought by the last steam er is a notice of the death of Admiral Sir George Cockburn, of the British Navy. He died at Leamington on the 19th of August, at the ad vanced age of eighty-two. Those who remem ber the late invasion of this country, by Great Britain, (says the Baltimore American) will not fail to recollect the outrages—outrages which re flected the deepest disgrace on the British Na tion—committed under the authority, and even in many cases under the supervision,of this Brit ish Naval commander. He was styled, during the time he remained in the waters of Maryland and Virginia, the “Scourge of the Chesapeake,” as it was during this period that the Commodore burned the houses and robbed the henroosts of all who lived near enough to the shore to be vis ited by the marauding parties dispatched by’ him. At Washington, among other unpardon able atrocities, he mutilated a small monument erected to the memory of those gallant men who stormed Tripoli and Algiers, and reduced to submission the pirates of the Mediterranean— a feat from which British commerce derived even more benefit than that of this country. CO” It is stated that the Patent office has re fused an extension of Col. Colt’s patent fire arms, on the ground that he has already made $1,000,000 from their sale. The patent has yet four years to run. i]i?~ Lola Montez has quarreled with her new husband, because he was jealous of a violinist from whom she “had received some polite atten tions.” The husband raised a row, and was kicked out of the house. Served him right.

Manners and Customs of Mormon Preachers. The Boston llcrald, in announcing the death of j Elder G. G. Adams, a Mormon preacher,.says: i “On his second visit to Boston the Elder j preached, baptized converts, whipped a newspa- I per editor, and played a star engagement at the j National Theatre. He was industrious and filled j up his time. We have a fund ot anecdotes con cerning this strange mortal, which we shall be I glad to print at some other time. We close this | article by briefly adverting to the chastisement I he gave an editor for strongly criticising his j performance of Richard 111. The office ofthe ! editor was in Washington street, where Propel- 1 lor now keeps. Adams armed himself with a J cowhide and watched his victim. Soon the mi- : suspecting fellow came down stairs, and Adams j sprang upon him, exclaiming: ‘The Lord has i delivered thee into my hands, and 1 shall give l thee forty stripes save one, Scripture measure. Brother Graham, keep tally’ So saying, he ; proceeded to lay on the punishment with a hearty j good will. In the mean time a large crowd had j gathered around. When the tally was up Ad- I ams left the man and addressed the crowd as | follows: ‘Men and brothers, my name is Elder 1 George G. Adams, preacher of the everlasting I gospel. 1 have chastised mine enemy. Igo this afternoon to fulfil an engagement at the Providence Theatre, where i shall play one of Shakspeare’s immortal creations. 1 shall return to the city at the end ot a week, and will, by Divine permission, play Macbeth at the National Theatre Saturday night, and preach three times on the immortality of the soul, the eternity of matter, and in answer to the question, ‘Who is the Devil?’ May grace and peace be with you. Amen.” Dust Rejectors.— The important problem, how to avoid the annoyance of dust in railroad traveling, which is the most objectionable fea ture in this mode of conveyance, is apparently solved by the Reading Railroad company. The method adopted is, by hanging a breadth of painted canvass from the base of each car, reaching to within six inches of the rail, and extending along the entire train. The spaces between the cars are covered with an apron, connecting with the platforms of each car, and covering the bumpers, which prevents the dust rising between the cars, while the pressure of the atmosphere on the vacuum created by the motion of the cars prevents the dust from being forced out at this point. The unsightly and expensive expedients here tofore devised to effect the object, which in every case-have proved a failure, have by this simple contrivance, been entirely serperseded, and bright visions of future railroad travelling opened to our imagination. The invention is by our ingenious townsman, James Aiillhoiland, Esq., devised by him, we understand, over three years since, hut never applied ori the road until the past week.— Reading Journal. The most Beautiful Hand —Two charming women were discussing one day what it is which constitutes beauty in (he hand. They differed in opinion as much as in the shape of the beau tiful member they were discussing. A gentle man friend presented himself, and by common consent the question was referred to him. It was a delicate matter. He thought of Paris and the three goddesses. Glancing from one to the other of the beautiful white hands presen ted to him—which, by the way, he had the cun ning to hold for some time in his own, for the purpose of examination—he replied at last: “I give it up—the question is too hard lor me ; but ask the poor, and they will tell you that the most beautiful hand in the world is tiie hand that gives.” CO” The largest subscription yet made for New Orleans by any city, in proportion to its population, is Chatleston. .She has raised be tween eight and nine thousand dollars.

Chappell addressed the cit izens of Atlanta on Saturday night last, at the M aeon & Western Depot, in one of the most masterly and eloquent speeches we have heard during the campaign. Ilis plain and lucid ex position of the subject of the Executive ap pointments was a most complete vindication of tiie policy of Gen. Pierce, from the election | eering abuse and misrepresentation ofthe AVhig newspapers and stump orators. He spoke with ! a degree of earnestness and genuine sincerity i of feeling throughout his entire address, that can only come from a consciousness of being enlisted on the side of truth and justice. “Thrive is he armed who hath his quarrel jost, And lie but nuked, though locked up in steel. Whose Conscience with injustice is corrupted.” Mr. Chappell was one of the strongest and most efficient Union Democrats in Georgia, du ! ring the exciting scenes of 1850 and ’sl, hut | now that the issues which divided political par- I ties in those contests are definitely settled, he is not willing to lend the weight of his influence i and his reputation for honesty and integrity, to i the promotion of the hypocritical schemes of Messrs. Toombs and Stephens. Mr. Chappell is a true and consistent Democrat, and a friend of the administration of President Pierce, and | therefore is in the field in support of the Demo cratic candidate for Governor, Hon. Herschel i V. Johnson. —Atlanta Intelligencer. Retraction of a Calumny. Sometime since a Whig paper in North Car olina started an absurd story that a negro or mulatto had been appointed by the administra j tion keeper of the Long Shoal Light Boat.— This was seized upon with avidity by tiie Whig papers of Georgia and other Southern States, j and made the subject ofthe bitterest animadver ! sions. Having served the purposes of its fab rication, the paper in which it first appeared now | retracts the calumny in the following terms: “Cornelian. —ln spite of all the prudence and j caution which they can exercise, editors will ! sometimes he led into error. Such was our case j in regard to the appointment of keeper of the f.oiig Shoal Liiflit Boat. Instead of a mulatto i having been appointed, as we were informed on most respectable authority was the case, we learn from a letter from a friend in Hyde, and from another friend in this place who was in that county last week, that Capt Robert Rallison lias been appointed to the Long Shoal Boat; that Capt. R. is a very respectable citizen of Hyde, one of the acting magistrates of the j county, and that the appointment is the best I which bus been made in that region. Os course our informants were misinformed as to who ; had been appointed to the Long Shoal boat.’’ This is another sample of Whig attacks in i this State on the administration. We shall see whether the Wliig papers which copied the “ne gro” statement, will publish this correction. | Charleston Mercury. More Evidence. It seems that the Abolitionists of the Nortli never will forgive Franklin Pierce for his de votion to the Constitution, and the rights guar antied to the South under it. Read the follow ing which we extract from a late number of the Boston I’ost: “Tuck, late whig member af congress, pre sided over the free soil convention at Wolf boro’, V H., on Wednesday. Moses A. Cartland, an abolitionist who has received the support of the whig party as a candidate for office, was one of the speakers, and cursed the constitution, and invoked bloodshed in resistance of the fugitive law, and eulogized J. P. Hale. This last men tioned person was present and made a speech Tuck was insolent in his attack on President Pierce, and after abusing him to his heart’s con tent, said that “the honest whigs of New Hamp shire were completely proselyted, and attached to the principles of free soii, and it was very desirable that a coalition should be effected if only to pull down the Concord democratic clique.” V\ hat a commentary is this upon the incessant clamor of the Whig press and cross road poli ticians of the South, about what they are pleased to term the “free-soil appointments’’ of Presi dent Pierce!
