SIXTH ARTICLE.
William, [Ger. Wilhelm] defender of many.
.. This name,” says Verst;- gun, the distinguish*
French antiquarian, “ was not given an
•jiMitly lo children, but was a title of dignity
imposed upon men from a regard to merit
W hen a German had killed a Roman, the
,r..ldea helmet of the Roman was placed upon
| rJ head , and the soldier was honoured with
t i ]o mle of Gildhelm, or golden helmet. With
. , French the title was Guildhaume and since
OuiUauvie.” The wearer of the golden hel
llict was considered a “ defender of many.”
\ 0 name has been more honoured than Wil
liam It ha been borne by kings and poets
ai.d sages, from “ the Conqueror” to the bard
~i flydal Mount, and above all, it was the
name of him who lived and wrote,
“ Not foraday, but lor all time," —
Si,aksi’eare. In ptietry, William often an
nuities the softened and familiarized form of
Willie. T iie feminine forms of the name are
WILHi.LMINE, Wilhelmina and Willamette.
|l those who bear these names are not “ de-
I i,dels.” they are all, we shall assume, worthy
to be de] ended.
Walter, [Ger.] woodman, is a fine old
n..nie, and has been proudly borne by nobles
ami princes. Scoit, who wrote romances, and
Raleigh, who lived them, did no dishonour to
this knightly name.
•‘Earl Walter was a brave old earl,”
stys the poet,
“Ami Earl Walter’s glaive was steel,
With a brave olti hand to wear it!
Ami dashed the lie back in the inoulli
Which lied against the tfodly truth.
And againnt the knightly merit.*’
Gilbert, [Sax.] bright pledge. Children are
often called pledges of love, &e.; who then
cuuld wish lor a name with a better meaning
than Gilbert —a bright pledge. “ This name,
so - Robert Chambers, ( Edinburgh Journal,
A t. on Mantes), is hallowed by the sweet little
-ti.rytuld of the mother of Thoma -a-Becket.
11- lather, when a young man, served in the
C .miles, and, being taken prisoner, saw and
Iced the daughter of the Emir, who was his
captor. After a time, Becket escaped and
, ,iine home. The Emir’s daughter followed
lam to England, and went from place to place,
and street to street, calling out Gilbert! Gil
bert! —being the only word of English she
knew. This was her talisman, the anchor of 1
la, hope; and she was dually seen by Gilbert J
b i ket, who took the faithful alien to his home .
a.J his bridal bed. She became tile mother, i
as inis been said, of the famous churchman.” j
Robert, [Ger ] bright counsel, is a name i
hallowed by high historical and poetical asso- ;
nations. Bruce and Burns will at once sug
ge.-t themselves to the mind in connection with
ills. name. It sometimes assumes the form of I
Robin, (who does not remember Robin Hood j
and his merry foresters?) and,in vulgo diet., is
sometimes contracted to Bob.
Richard, [Sax.] rich-hearted, or, according I
to another etymology, richly honoured, was
borne by the king of the fion-heart, and is
found on many a page of glorious history.
Francis, [Ger .] frank, free. This is an un
exceptionable name, and has, as Leigh Hunt
observes, “ a tine open air with it—a sound
eo,responding to the sense.” It was the baptis
mal nanieot Petrarch, Lord Bacon and Fenelon,
us well as ot sundry kings and princes. Francis
is edtcii contracted to Frank. Its French form
is Franfoi*. In the feminine it is
Frances, contracted into Fanny and Fannie,
allot’ which are very pretty and poetica names.
Fair, sweet little Fannie, tlie priile of fond hearts.
Is the fairest creature below, —
So free Iroiu the taint of the world, she imparts
A joy nothing else can bestow.
Her smiles, like the sunbeams that open the flowers,
.hid turn out their leaves with a kiss,
thil into the innermost spirits of ours,
And wake every leeling to bliss.
With a motion like that or a fairy, she trips
Wherever her fancy may lead,
W lute laughter sits throned on her beautiful lips,
And truth in her eye you can read.
[ James l.umbard.
Elizabeth, [Heb.j true, (literally oath of
v ">d. This name, aside from its scriptural as
■ ;ations, has historical honours of no mean
dor. The reign of the “ maiden Queen” of
bnd.and, was in many respects a famous one,
imii we have the Elizabethan Period in litera
’ i- tnd the Elizabethan style of architecture,
h -a sweet name, and many a one who beats
it is beautiful as well a.s true. Elizabeth often
a s-uiiies the form of Eiiza, and is still further
1 “traded into Lizzie, in familiar style and in
poetry.
TO LIZZIE.
“ One name was Elizabeth.”
[.Ben Jon son.
Bright eyes around me beam, Lizzie,
Sweet voices greet mine ear,
And forms of fairest mould, Lizzie,
And loving hearts are near ;
Bull am lone and sail, Lizzie,
No eyes speak lore to mine.
And not a voice, of all, Lizzie,
Is half so sweet as thine.
My friends are warm and kind, Lizzie,
True in my need, to me ;
To th m the friendly handy Lizzie,
My heart alone to thee !
much I pine for thee, Lizzie —
To look into thine eyes—
To tell thee all my love, Lizzie,
And list thy sweet replies. *

T
!1E Leaflets of Memory has gained the
l!atl(, n of being the most superb American
lUi ‘l; and if its previous issues have entitled
‘ bus praise, we are very sure that the vol
lielnre us will confirm the verdict. It is
/ "’ au ideal of an elegant book, perfect in
■’ feature, external and internal. Bound

’ e f® ia made glad by seeing so much
“ uty ol ar L with no defects or drawbacks to
• mar the general impression. Four of Deve
reaux’s brilliant illuminations, exhibit to the
observing eye the beautiful succession of the
seasons, and these are followed by a number of
Sartain’sunequalled Mezzotints. “ The Read
ing Magdalen ” is a picture of such rare beauty
that we must honour it with a particular men
tion, even amid its choice companion plates.—
The literary contents of the “ Leaflets” give
continual evidence of the elegant taste of its
able editor, Ur. Coates Our limits will not
allow us to particularize any of the articles.
They are, however, all well worthy of the
magnificent volume which enshrines them.—•
We shall hardly have occasion to speak of any
other annual in higher terms than those we se
lect for this, and we commend it to those of our
readers who seek gifts combining real beauty
and rare splendour.
The Cabinet of Modern Art is not a se
rial, but a book for all years and for all sea
sons. It contains twenty-five pictures, from
the most eminent undent artists, engraved in
the highest style of Mezzotinto, and illustrated
by articles in pi use and verse. The same
faultless taste which directed the “ Leaflets,”
has presided over this elegant work, and to say
that it is fit for the boudoir of the fairest maiden
j in the land, is to do it simple justice. The pic
tures form a “Cabinet of rare merit, and the
accessaries are all in perfect keeping.
Tupper’s Proverbial Philosophy, in three
! editions, next claims our notice. Os the work
: itself, it were vain to speak now. These edi-
I tious vary in size from a pocket volume to a
! crown quarto, the intermediate one being a
duodecimo. The largest is one of the most
I superb books we have ever seen. Its typo
graphy is singularly beautiful, and the text is
illustrated by the driest engravings. In binding,
it rivals the “ Leaflets,” in its chaste and mas
sive beauty, The smaller editions are suffi
| ciently superior to all other editions of the
; work to make it an object with the purchaser
to give them the preference.
Read’s Female Poets of America is another
magnificent book, a royal octavo, printed on
hoi-pre.-sed paper, and embellished with highly
finished portraits on steel. The editor of the
work is himself ail artist and a poet of high
1 reputation, and he has made a volume—by the
munificent aid of the publishers—which is at
I once a credit to American Anthology and
American Art.
The Snow Flake is an annual in the ac
cepted sense of the term. For some years it
has been winning praises, aud growing ever in
beauty, until it takes now the highest rank
among the less expensive annuaries. As its
name denotes, it is a pure offering,” tilled
with treasures of Literature and Art, aud min
istering to refined and cultivated tastes. We
can commend it with confidence and pleasure.
The Christmas Tribute. This is anew
candidate for public favour, but it starts fair
with its older competitors, for the unmistake
able impress of its publishers’ unrivalled taste
is upon ns front. Like tiie “ Snow Flake,” it
is of the less costly order of gift books, and
may therefore impart pleasure aud delight
where its more splendid companions will never
be seen.
Christmas Blossoms, last and least, remains
to be noticed. We use the term least liter
ally, for tills is a Juvenile Annual, and of all
Juvenile Annuals.it is unquestionably the gem !
A favourite for years past, it will now be more
than ever so, for it contains more charming
stories than it ever did before, aud we have a
fancy that the engravings are a shade hand
somer than ever. Sweet “ Christmas Blos
soms!” Happy will be the dear little girl
whose Christmas morning is brightened by its
beauty, and we hope there are many little read
ers of the Gazette who will be made thus
happy.
Hereafter we shall resume our notices of the
“ Gift Books for 1851.” Our city readers will
doubtless find all of the above at Mr. Russell's.

Mrs. Partington in New York.
The venerable Mrs. Partington, as we see by
the last Tribune, has treated herself to an ex
cursion to Gotham. She thus speaks of the
wonders she witnessed in the Empire City :
“I’ve just come from New York, arid I’ve
seen twice as much as ever I saw in Busting.
1 saw the Rochester rappins at a hotel there.
The man was rappin away at the bar and there
was all sorts of spirits behind the counter. But
Mr. Jones and I went to the Theatre, and that
beat all. We saw them performerate a moral
brama ; Mr. Jones said it was culled “ Just as
you like it.” One part of it they called “Spoke
shave seven edges,” and it was the best part of
the whole brama, I think. A man they called
Jake spoke it, and I’ll tell you all about it, for
it made such an expression upon me that I
learned it all by heart.
“ All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely passengers ;
They have their axes and their entry ways,
And one man keeps time and plays his part.
And all the axes have seven edges. First the haby,
Mewling, &c., in its nurse’s arms ;
And then the winning sehool-boy with his scrachawl,
And shiny mourning face, running like a snail
to school; then the lover,
Sighing like a foundery with an awful bandage
Maile for his mistress’s eyebrows: then the soldier,
Full of strangle oaths, and bearded like a pardner,
Zealous in horror, scrubbing a stick in quarrel,
Seeking the blubber reputation
Into the cannon mouth ; then a justice of the peace
In fair round belly, with good apron lined ;
His eyes so sore and beard of normal cut,
Full of old handsaws and modern mischances :
And so he brays his part ; the sixth edge shimmies
Into the lean and slippery pair of pantaloons
With youthful hoes, well shaved, a world too wide
For his crook shank ; and his big bomely voice,
Turning a grain toward bardish pebble, pipes
And mizzles in bis sound ; and last of all
That ends this strained repentful history,
Is second childishness and mere pavilion—
Sands” teeth. Sands’ eyes. Sands’ tasting, Sands’ Sarspa
rilla! *
The Eisteddvodd.
A grand Welsh Festival, with ibis difficult
name, has recently been held at Rhyl. It was
a sort of Congress of Welsh Bards, and its
chief business was to award prizes in Poetry.
Music, &.c. There were fifty-seven prizes
offered, nearly all of which were contested.—
The Festival lasted several days, during which
the Messiah was performed in a grand but
peculiar style. There were speeches in Welsh
and songs in Welsh— pennillions the latter
were called. The Welsh harp was duly hon
oured, and a “ blind old harper ” maintained
the ancient glory of the Welsh minstrels. The
most imposing ceremony of the occasion was
the conferring of Bardic Degrees, called the
Gorsedd Gwynnedd. The actors in this af
fair were exclusively Druids, and in it was re
vived much of the pageantry of ancient Druid
ism. Punch, the inveterate, describes it as “a
Norma like proceeding, with twelve mile
stones in a circle and a couple of large stones
placed on each other in the centre, as if the
Druids were going to have a game at ‘duck.’ ”
There can be no doubt, from the reports which
our London journals give us, that it w’as a very
singular and somewhat outlandish ceremony.
We confess that we should like to have been at
a feast of the Druids in the nineteenth century.
Jenny Lind - Charleston.
We have seen a letter from Mr. Barnum, in
which he states positively that Jenny Lind will
sing in Charleston, provided any place can be
procured that will accommodate fifteen hundred
or two thousand persons. She will arrive here
about the tenth of December, en route for New
Orleans and Havana. She will leave for Lon
don in May, to be present at the World's
Fair. *

Powers’ Statue of Calhoun.
The Statue ?f Calhoun has at length been
recovered. This result is owing to the enter
prise, energy and perseverance of Mr. Johnson
of Long Island, who, with his yacht, the Twi
light, has been operating on the spot for the
last three months. The only injury the Statue
has su-tained is the loss of a part of the right
arm, and as the fracture is concealed by the
drapery, the loss can be easily replaced. With
this exception, the Statue is said to be as perfect
as when it left the hands of the artist, it having
received no scratch or stain. Mr. Johnson has
spent about a thousand dollars m the undertak
ing. Ihe New York Tribunt suggests that the
Statue be placed on exhibitton in that city be
fore leaving for its destination, and adds:
“ As a w-ork of art, no Jess than on account
of the remarkable circumstances attending its
transmission, there are few of our citizens who
wouid fail to visit it. The proceeds, or a liberal
portion ot them, might properly be applied to
tiie remuneration of the men, who, since the
15th of August last, have been labouring so
laithlully and perseveringly for its recovery.
Mr. Johnson, we understand, has spent about
a thousand dollars in the undertaking, and to
his energy alone we are indebted for this great
work, now doubly valuable from its baptism in
the great deep. The history of the shipwreck
should be carved on the pede.-tal of the statue,
in the temple tube erected in Charleston. *
Photography.
M. Niepce de St. Victor, has just made
known anew method of photography. The
daguerrean plates are plunged into a bath,
composed ot chloride of sodium, sulphate of
copper, sulphate of iron, and sulphate of zinc,
(the two latter not being indispensable,) and
then washed in distilled water, aud dried over
a spirit lamp. The Loudon Literary Gazette,
in which we find tiiis announcement, says that
a plate thus prepared will receive the impres
sion ol an engraving placed upon it, by expos
ure to the sun for halt an hour, and should be
washed with ammoniacal water, or with cya
nide of potassium or hyposulphite of soda.—
These washings remove ail the chloride of sil
ver that has not been decomposed. The plate
should then again be washed in much water
and left to dry, and the image further fixed, if
desired, with chloride of gold, as usually done
in daguerreotypes. These same plates give
images in the camera, after one or two hours’
exposure—a period too long for the new method
to be applicable to portraiture, but M. Niepce
hopes to be abie soon to perfect an accelerat
ing process. He has tound also that the iodide
of silver, with ammonia, .like the chloride,
yields images, without the intervention of mer
cury vapour. *
An iErial Steamship.
La Tress of Paris, publishes a letter from
Madrid, in which it is announced that the co
lossal balloon constructed by M. J. Monte
mayer, will “ sail ” from Madrid, direct for
London, on the Isth of October. Mr. Monte
mayer’s next voyage will be from London to
New York—perhaps! The “machine” is thus
described: *
“ It is enabled to sail against contrary winds
by the aid of enormous wuigs, beating the air
alternately, aud fashioned almost like the wings
of a bird. On the forepart of the balloon, cor
responding to the prow of a ship, is fixed a
gigantic funnel, made to absorb, by means of
internal machinery, a considerable quantity of
air, which, being let off by a second funnel
placed at the stern of the balloon, propels it
with extraordinary power. This vast mass is
calculated to attain a speed of 150 miles an
hour, in calm weather. The sound it makes in
cleaving the air is said to be quite portentous,
and its appearance that of a powerful steam
frigate under sail and steam.”
Fair Play-
Under this head, our friend Peterson, of the
Philadelphia Saturday Gazette, is “down upon
us” for crediting “ Alice, or the Rescue,” to
the London family Herald ; the story, as he
asserts, having originally appeared in Peter
son's Magazine. VV ell, honour to whom hon
our is due, and credit to whom credit, say we ;
but, as Mr. Peterson never sends us his maga
zine, we surely cannot be supposed to know
what appears in it, and when we find an arti
cle published as original in an English paper,
we must, in the absence of any evidence to the
contrary, suppose it to be original and credit it
accordingly. If there has been any unfair play
in the matter, friend Peterson, you must settle
it with your neighbour across the water. *
Woman’s Rights and Babies.
A repot ter for one of the Boston papers, who
attended the Woman’s Rights Convention,
lately held in Worcester, Mass., notices with
surprise, that not a single baby was to be seen
among ail the three or four hundred women
present, and that not a whisper or insinuation
that babies are necessary to t e preservation of
society, was heard. Probably babies will be
voted a nuisance in the new order of society
which these women in—anmentionables wish
to establish. *
An Old Suit.
There is a suit in the English Court of
Chancery, that of the Attorney General vs.
Trevelyan, which is said to have lasted one
hundred and sixty-five years, and is still as
good as new! Preserve us from suits that
never wear out!

The Angel World and other I’oems. By Philip
James Bailey, author of “ Festus.” Boston: Ticknor,
Reed & Fields. 1830.
“ Festus,” with all its faults—which are
many—has been a favourite with us. It abounds
in deep and earnest thought, brilliant imagery,
delicate fancies, and bold and lofty flights of
imagination, and though crude and lacking
unity and completeness, gives assurance that its
author is a poet of no ordinary genius.
“The Angel World” pleases us less than j
“ Festus.” It has all the faults of the latter, i
with fewer striking beauties, though it is by no
means with -ut its fine passages. It is an alle
gorical poem, and its meaning is at times lar
from clear. This vagueness and mysticism is
perhaps the greatest fault of the poem. We
have no room for an analysis of the work and
can only give two or three brief extracts, illus- j
trative of its general style.
On one of the star-worlds,
“ Among the heavenly race
There dwelt two angel sisters, nymphs divine,
The daughters of the Lord of gods and men,
Star-dowered, light-portioned, forms full realized
Os the Eternal Beauty.”
They are thus described :
“ Yet how unlike
Their nature, amt their loveliness: in one
A soul of lofty clearness, like a night
Os stars, wherein the memory ts the day
Seems trembling through the meditative aii —
In whose proud eye, one fixed and arklike thousht
Held only sway ; that thought a mystery;
In one, a golden aspect like the dawn—
Beaming perennial in the Heavenly east—
Os paly light; she ever brightening looked
As with the boundless promise unfulfilled
Os some supreme perfection ; in her heart
That promise aye predestinate, alway sure,
Her breast with joy suffusing, and so wrought,
Her sigh seemed happier than her sister’s smile :
Yet patient she and humble.”
Here is a passage in quite a different tone,
but, in its way, not less beautiful:
“ Next canretlie crime of crimes with curses crowned,
Staggering precipitate. No lack was there
Os direful sign and portent; chief was this—
Each day grew murker, tor the light ot truth
Suns those serenest firmaments ; and all
‘Pile falsehoods each one uttered, lie by lie ,
Rolled into rings of darkness round their heads—
Till the conglomerate gloom obscured the day,
And each one so infringed the other’s view,
That contact in collision ceased.
With this we must close, assuring the reader
that though he may quarrel with the philoso
phy, tho theology and the style of the poein, he j
will acknowledge its beauty and the genius of
its author. *

We are indebted to the author of the above
Addresses and ol an “ Address before the Fe
male High School of Newburyport,” published
in the Daily Union, for copies. He will ac
cept our thanks for then.. We have found
time to peruse only one of these Addresses—
that delivered on the occasion of the Laying of
the Corner Stone of the Town Hall. The
speaker took occasion in this to glance at the
signs of the times in the political world—to re
buke the Abolition agitators of his uative State,
anu to point out the disastrous consequences to
the business ol New England, ot Disunion,
which he assured his hearers must be the re
sult of continued aggressions on the part of the
North. He says: *
“ Greatly do they err, who imagine that this
or that shadow of nullification, whether in
Hartford Conventions or Nashville Conven
tions,really constitutes the dark cloud of danger
which is gathering and deepening and lowering
over the firmament of the Union. No: the
true and only serious Disunionism consists of
acts of systematic aggression of one part of the
Union against another, in violation of both the
letter and spirit of the Constitution ; and the i
true and honest Unionism is that which strictly ‘
observes the constitutional compact, and isani- ■
mated by sentiments of kindly support, for
bearance, good-will and conciliation towards j
our fellow members of the Union.”
The Logic and Utility of Mathematics, with the
best methods of Instruction, explained and illustrated.
By Charles Davies, LL.D. New York: A. S. Bumes
& Cos.
This is a truly important treatise on a moi<
important subject, and we cannot doubt that it
will speedily excite the interest of not only all
professors of the grand and comprehensive Sci
ence of Mathematics, but of all those who are
practically interested itt its deductions and ap
plications to other Sciences and to the Arts
generally.
Dr. Davies has given us in this beautiful vol
ume, a thorough analysis of the system of in
struction in mathematics which is pursued at
the West Point Military Academy. It em
braces a general view of the Science of Logic,
which the author deemed essential to a perfect
development of his plan.
Our limits will not allow us to enter upon a
synopsis of its contents, nor is this necessary to
enlist the attention of our mathematical read
ers, who will at once appreciate the scope and
purpose of the work.
The Conspirator. An American Novel. By Miss A.
E. llupuy. New York: D. Appleton ft Cos. 18j0.
This is a very clever historical tale, in which
the principal actors in Aaron Burr’s Conspiracy
are made to figure with very good effect. The
Conspirator, Col. Alwin, (Aaron Burr,) his
adopted child, his natural son, the son of a
Mexican ally, and his only daughter, are the
most prominent characters. The scene is laid
in Biennerhassett’s Island, though it changes to
the lower Ohio and Mississippi rivers and to
Mexico. Blennerhassett is portrayed tinder the
name of Eustace Fitzgerald. The style of the
work is vigorous and the plot artistic. Some
of the exciting scenes in which the book
abounds, are managed with great skill, and are
very dramatic. *
Lessons from the History of Medical Delusions.
By Worthington Hooker, M.L). New York ; Baker ft i
Scribner. 1850.
This Dissertation received the prize of fifty
dollars offered by the Trustees of the Fiske
Fund of the Rhode Island Medical Society,
for the best Dissertation on the subject of “The
History of the Medical Delusions of the Pre
sent and Former Times.” Mr. Hooker is the
author of the “ Physician and Patient,” and is
well known as a learned and skilful physician
of the “ Regular Practice.” Os course Homoeo
pathy and other “ Delusions” of the present
day receive little mercy at his hands. But his
candour and good temper are worthy of all
praise, and his work will repay a careful pe
lusal. *
Christianity Revived in the East, or a Narrative
ol the Y\ork of Uoil among the Armenians of Turkey.
By H. G. O. Dwight, Missionary of the American
Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions. New
York: Baker ft Scribner. 1850.
Mr. Dwight has been connected with the
mission to the Armenians to Turkey, from its
first establishment, and no one is better qualified
to give a correct and interesting narrative of the
good work of reform which has been com
menced and carried on in the old and corrupt
Armenian Church. He gives a simple but
graphic narrative of facts, leaving, for the most
part, the reader to draw his own inferences and
make his own reflections. His book will be
read with interest by all whose attention has
been directed to the subject of Christian mis
sions in the East. *
