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. * THE GIFT BOOKS FOR 1851.

On this account, lo k upon the Amtuaries with interest and ■ure, especially as they are now made to 5 ■ ’ t the highest degrees of excellence, both literature and the Arts.

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 *’ ni| ist tasteful style of panelled morocco “lamented with chaste tool-work, its out- Ibuth truly “ a goodly show.” The inte -18 in exquisite keeping—paper, letter-press, -tarings and illuminations, all faultless.— ’ 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. (Dur iipiissi|i Column. 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. * SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. 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! ♦ (Dur Cflutrinjinruras. Blackwood for October has a great va riety of good tilings. The most noticeable ar ticles, perhaps, are “ Military Life in North Atnca,” “The French Wars of Religion,” “A Wild-Flower Garland,” a portion of which we copy on our fourth page, and continuations of “ Dies Boreales,” and “My Novel.” Macja is never stupid and never dull, though sometimes a little bigoted and intolerant. New York: L. Scott & Cos. The Evergreen is the name of anew monthly devoted to literature and miscellane ous reading, and intended to combine amuse ment with instruction, it is edited and pub lished by B. Craven and R. H. Brown, who are evidently well qualified for the task they have assumed. We wish them abundant success in their enterprise. The number before us, though rather homely in its external appearance, is weil filled with a great variety of interesting and useful articles. The people of the Old North State should give it such a support as will enable its publishers so to improve and embellish The Evergreen, that its outward form may be a type of its inward excellence and beauty. The Evergreen contains 32 pages and is sent to subscribers at two dollars per annum. Address R. H. Brown, Ashborough, N. C. The Louisiana State Republican, one of the best of our outh Western exchanges, has lately been enlarged and improved. We are glad to sec this evidence of prosperity in our contemporary. Os the Republican, as a political journal, it is not within our province to j speak, but its literary, scientific and miscellane- | ous departments, do great credit to the taste, judgment and tact of its conductors.

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. * 1. An Address, delivered at the Laying of the Corner Stone of the Town Hall in Newburyport, Mass., July 4th, 1830. By Hon. Caleb Cushing. 2. Address before the Essex Agricultural Society. By Caleb Cushing. 3. Daily Evening Union, Aug. 10th, 1830. Newbury port, Mass. Huse &. Bragdon. 1830. 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. * Itooittts. number.
