TIMES COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 18ofl Judge {Green of tlie Lebanon (Tenn.) Law School. A late number of the Savannah flews contains an ar ticle with the above caption, which concludes with the following remark; “Judge Green is in sentiment a tree’ soiler, and we trust that his immediate expulsion from the School at Lebanon, Tenn. will be insisted on by the press ot the South, or Southern men counselled to withdraw their suppoit from the Institution. We desire to'be understood as uniting with our cotempo rary in preferring the above charge,>nd we heartily concur in his concluding recommendation. The proof by which the charge is supported, is contained in a letter to the American Tract Society, recently written by Judge Green in which occurs the following passage. “I have not in tended to defend'the Institution of slavery. I have long considered it an evil—an evil (as Mr. Rives once admitted in the Senate) morally, socially and politically. Until within the last twentyffive years, I never heard any well informed Southern gentleman give expression to any con trary sentiment. About that time Mr. Calhoun first an nounced the opinion, that the institution was a desirable one. Now, many Southern men, following Mr. Calhoun, and pressed by aggressive attacks from the North hold the same opinion. But 1 have never sympathized with this sentiment. I hold slavery to be an evil—-a greater evil to the master than to the slave.” | We mistake greatly if there is not a perfect coincidence between the above opinions and the abolition articles of faith. Should fanaticism multiply a thousand fold, until it inaugurated the bloodiest persecution that ever scourged the earth, Judge Green would never be touched for a her etic- We do not see what more abolitionism can demand or hope than the prevalence of such sentiments. 1 hat which is morally, socially and politically an evil, should be abolished immediately, without regard to consequences No views of policy—no considerations of safety can justi fy perseverance in essential sin. What would be thought of the moral and intellectual calibre of the man who would say that robbery, arson, and murder should be abo lished gradually? No; if slavery be the evil which Judgo Green thus declares, the master should liberate his slave— liberate him now, and, if he did not, the slave should es cape, or revolt authority. These conclusions cannot be avoided if the above prem ises be granted, and .the rankest abolitionist that ever frothed his venom on the institutions ot the South never desired more. Our watchful cotemporary of the Montgomery Adver tiser t promptly exposed the character of such sentiments, and warned the South not to place “her sons within the reach of such an influence- Judge Green, to ward ofl the effect of this timely blow, writes a letter to the editor in which he resorts to a subterfuge that would be discredible to the intelligence of the youngest pupil in his school, In that letter occurs the following language: “This paragraph (the one we have quoted from his for mer does not assert that in the relation of master and slave, there is ? anything wrong. Such an opinion was never entertained by me, nor was any such sentiment intended to be conveyed in the part of my letter referred to. I say that slavery is an evil —“a greater evil to the master than to the slave.” Of course, if there were any moral suilt in the relation—the evil would consist in a crime perpetrated upon the slave, by the master. In that case, the slave was the sufferer. But my position in the letter is, that the master is the principal sufferer. That as an incident to the institution of slavery, evils resul t to the white race, among whom we are.” Slavery is a condition —a condition which involves nec essarily the relation of master and slave. (Perhaps, Judge Green’s Metaphysics can inform us how the one may exist without the other.) Now to contend that there is moral guilt in the condition but Done in the relation presents, to our mind, rather a curious specimen of argumentative ab surdity. But slavery is “a greater evil to the master than to the slave”—conversely, slavery is a lesser evil to the slave than to the master—still, an evil to both. Again, “the master is the principal sufferer,”—ear vi termini the slave is the sec „ ondary sufferer. Judge Green’s revised edition ofhis aboli tion dogma declares then this monstrous proposition : a rela tion springing naturally and necessarily from a condition tha t is a moral, social and political evil, may affect, in different degrees, injuriously the parties to that re’ation, but involves no moral guilt. The truth of this proposition, wo confess, is quite beyond our comprehension. We will not pursue the subject farther. The attention we have given it assures us that the subject of this article is not a proper man to in struct Southern youth. Let the Southern press speak out. Wesleyan Female College. On Sunday last (says the Journal tj Messenger) the Commencement exercises oi this Institution were opened by an eloquent and impressive discourse from the Rev. Dr L. Pierce. His theme was “The Appropriate Adornment of Woman,” and was well suited to the spirit of the age.— It commanded deep attention irom an overflowing audito. ry. The examination of the pupils in the various depart ments,which terminated on Monday,we learn from a mem ber of the Board of Visitors, was thorough and eminently satisfactory. Tuesday and Wednesday were to be, as usu al, devoted to Senior Compositions, Baccalaureate Ad dress, and Oration by the Hon. Washington Poe, which of course weeannot notice until next week. We are gra tified to observe so large an attendance of visitors from abroad, and the lively interest exhibited in the exercises and welfare of this cherished institution. We are happy to state that its condition and prospects were never more cheering. jJSIP’ It is asserted that a man marrying now-a days marries a great deal more than he bargained for. He not only weds himself to a woman, but a laboratory (of prepared chalk, a quintal of whale bone, eight coffee bags, four basnets of novels, one poodle dog, and a system of weak nerves that will keep four servants and three doctors around-your house most of the time. The perpetrator of the above has, we doubt not, been kicked a dozen or more times and, yet, he will not let the ladies alone. Won’t somebody marry him and subdue his obstinacy ? This same fellow is forever trying to get up a sensation upon “long skirts,” “spacious crinolines” and “saucer bonnets,” and if he could only be persuaded that the ladies care as little for what he says as they do for him, his occupation would be gone. But, valueless in their estimation as his opinion is, they know that he is not sin cere. They know that, with the promise of a smile, they could make him don a lady’s apparel, himself, crinoline a nd all and eat the little “poodle” besides. His criticisms, therefore can neither induce amendment nor give offence. The sentiment they excite, is related more nearly to pity than resentment. He should remember that reprehension, in order to be effective must be honest and impartial.— Why does he not berate the men lor their fashionable fail ings ? We have heard that bills were occasionally made out against them for wigs, hair dye, false teeth &c., and, were it a marketable commodity, we know a reason why a few should purchase something else. Why did he not re* lieve his inflated folly with a bit of fact and say that a woman marrying now-a-days marries a great deal less than she bargained for, excepting patent leather and whiskers'? Dan it.be that he was afraid ? South-Western Rail Road. We learn fiom the Savannah Republican, that the Branch from this road leading to Dawson, in Terrell coun ty, has been completed. The road was opened for business on the 7th inst., and on the 22d, the people of Daw son and vicinity, will give a Barbecue, in honor of the ad vent of the Iron Horse. News from Washington. The Mobile Register finds the following in the corres pondence of the New York Herald. Mr. Forsyth, in his despatches says, that while he lias ceased to hold diplomatic intercourse with the government of Zuloaga, he deemed it better to remain in Mexico to afford protection to American citizens if needed, and un til he could learn the views ot his government as to ns course. While the administration view the action of t e Zulaoga government, with regard to the forced contn u tions, as an impolitic stretch ot power, and injurious to American citizens, it has not yet decided it to be a \io a tion of treaties. Attorney General Black has the matter under consideration, and will soon submit his views to t e President. We have a treaty with Mexico, based on the treaty made by that Republic previously with England, forbidding the imposition of a forced loan or contribution. The question for the Attorney General to decide, then, is this: is a forced loan against the terms ot the treaty? Monsieur Bellv had a long interview with Gen* Cass, when he took occasion to lay down his entire magnificen scheme of a ship canal by the Isthmus of Nicaragua. © is enthusiastic of success. He does not now pretend to have any connection with the French government, an seems specially desirous of forming an American connec tion, and of securing the good .opinion of the American public. Lord Malmesbury had the politeness to send his speech on the right of search question to General Cass. Baron Wettersteut yesterday presented his credentials to the President, and was received as minister resident ©i the King of Sweden and Norway. The former minister at Washington, Chevalier Sibbern, has lately been appointed Swedish Minister at Constantinople. The Telegraph Fleet. New York, July 22.— An arrival at St. .Johns announ ces the opinion that three of the vessels of the cable fleet were seen on the 24th June in latitude 50 deg 32’ North, and 32’ West. There was a heavy swell, but the weath er continued moderate and thick, until the 3d of July, when there were strong gales from the Southwest. News from the Cable Fleet. New York, July 13.—The ship Windsor Forest has ar rived at Quebec, and the Captain states that he w T as in company with the steamships Niagara and Agamemnon for three days, and parted with them on the 20th ot June- The weather at that time was fine, but on the 2tth, and irom that time until the 29th of June, heavy South-west winds prevailed. Arrival of the Isabel. Charleston, July 12.—The Isabel has arrived from Havana, which port she left on the 10th instant. Sugar was active and firm; Molasses inactive. Freights dull. Sterling twelve a thirteen, and northern exchange two to three per cent, premium. Arrival of the Empire City. New Orleans, July 13.-The steamship Empire City, with late news from Calilornia has arrived. The news is not of general interest. The Empire City reports that the steamship Star of the West is en route to New York with one million five hun dred thousand dollars in treasure. St. Louis, July 10. —The river is falling an inch an hour. The upper streams are receding. Illness of Gen. Quitman. Natchez, Miss., July 13 —Gen. John A. Quitman is very ill in this city, and doubts are entertained of his re covery. From Utah. St. Louis, July 12.—The news from Utah is favorable- Col Johnson was to resume his march to the valley on the 17th. An express from the city said that thß army would be peaceably received, but Col. Johnson did not appear to be very confident of this result. Savannah, Albany & Gulf Railroad Company.— The Savannah Republican of the 14th, alluding to the fifth Annual Report of the above Company, says: ’Though short, it contains much interesting information in connec tion with that important improvement, in which Savannah has embarked so much ofher capital and her hopes. The showing in the report appears satisfactory. The road, in spite of all the serious obstacles that impeded its progress, has been completed to its western terminus, where “com mences the great Main Trunk line that is to connect us with the Gulf, at Pensacola or Mobile. The actual cost of construction, it will be seen, is below’ the original esti mate, and that notwithstanding the appreciation of labor, materials, and all the necessaries of life. For this result we are indebted, in a great part, to the economy and good management of the officers to whom the interests of the Company have been intrusted. Wm. Gilmore Simms, the Novelist and Poet, is named for U. S. Senator from South Carolina. Laurens Hamilton, a member of the New York Guard that escorted the remains of President Monroe to Rich mond, and a grand-son of Gen. Alexander Hamilton, fell from the steamer Glen Cove, in James River, and was drowned. 2^°By request of a member of the legal profession in this city we publish an article from the Wilkes Republican by Mr. W. M. Reese containing the correction of an error in his Manual for Ordinaries, Executors, Administrators and Guardians. r July 9. —Mr. Douglas was received here with a grand display. He made a speech de fending his political course and the Dred Scott de cision, and re-endorsed the Democratic platform. Fireworks were discharged in several parts of the town. Twenty thousand persons were estimated to be in attendance. Buffalo, July 9.—H. C. Gilbert, commercial editor of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser , and commercial reporter of the Associated Dress, was instantly killed this morning by the falling of a scaffold at No. 14 Central wharf. Mr. Robert McFaddin was found killed opposite his plantation, near Greensboro’, Ala., a few days ago. His death was probably caused by a fall from his horse. The Yellow Fever South, —Private letters received at New York from the Gulf shore of Louisiana, speak of the yellow fever prevailing in that region to some extent, and occa.-ioning not a little uneasiness among ihe inhabitants. A few cases have also occurred at New Orleans. Ladies’ Equestrian Convention. —Among the novelties in store in New York is a ladies’ Nation al Equestrian Convention, to be held on the Bth days of September, at the Union Race Course, Long Island. Among the inducements :‘to enter the list” on the occasion is the offer of three prizes to be awarded to the best female riders. The lady adjudged the most skillful in feats of manage will receive a splendid piano forte, valued at not less than SSOO, To the second best compettor will be presented a massive silver pitcher and goblet of the valne of S3OO The third best will be awarded an enameled and gold watch at S2OO. Ladies Irom every section of the United State;, who are’ adepts in the healthy and ennobling exercise of horsemanship, are cordially invited to unite in competition for the valuable premiums intended to promote an admiration for the scien ce*t)f equita tion. Study French. The policy of learning something ot the hrench lan guage before vising France is recommended bv the awk ward position in which our unsophisticated countrymen are sometimes placed in that country. For instance: An American in Paris went to a restaurant to get his dinner. Unacquainted with the French language, yet unwilling to show his ignorance, he peinted to the first line on the bill of fare, and the polite wa'ter brought him a plate of fragrant beef soup. This was very well, and when it was dis patched he pointed to the second line. The waiter understood him perfectly, and brought him vege table soup. “Rather more soup than I wanted,” thought he, “but it is the Paris fashion."’ He duly pointed Jo the 3rd line, and a plate of tapioca broth was brought him; again to the 4th, and was furnish ed with a bowl of preparation ot arrow-root. He tried the filth line, and was supplied with some gruel kept for invalids. The bystanders now sup posed they saw an unfortunate individual who had lost all his teeth ; and our friend, determined to get as far from the soup as possible, pointed in despair to the last line on the bill of fare. The intelligent waiter, who saw at once what he wanted, politely handed him a bunch of tooth-picks. This was too much—our countryman paid his bill, and inconti nently left. From the Macon Telegraph July 13. Important Decision. In our last issue we noticed a decision of the Supreme Court which declared the act exempting monthly wages of journeymen mechanics and weekly and daily wages from attachment and gar nishment in force. Since then another case has been decided which is of no little importance to the officers of the various city governments of this State. The facts of the case to which we allude were as follows: One Mrs. Harriet E. Ex perience held a judgment against John A. Holt, one of our city policemen, and upon this judgment sued out a writ ot garnishment against the Mayor and Council of the city of Macon for the salary ot Holt. One of the officers of the city government having answered that they were indebted to Holt, counsel for plaintiff moved to enter up judgment against the Mayor and Council for the amount of such indebtededness, which was resisted by Holt’s counsel, upon the ground that there was no law authorising the issuing of garnishments against a municipal corporation for the salary of its offi cers. The magistrates before whom the case was first tried, overruled defendant’s objections, and enter ed up judgment on the answer. Holt’s counsel ex cepted and carried the case up on a writ of certi orari to the Superior Court. Here the certiorari was overruled upon the grounds that the repeal ing clause of the act of 1855-’56, repealed all other acts upon the subject of attachment and garnish ment—that oflßso not excepted; and that the body of the act of 1855-’56 contemplates municipal as well as other corporations. Defendant’s counsel appealed from this decision to the Supreme Court, where the judgment of the Court below was re versed. In delivering the decision, his honor, Judge Lumpkin, said that it was very questionable whether a municipal corporation ever has been a subject of garnishment; certainly not before the act of 1823, and that it was a legitimate construction of this act to say that it referred only to private and not to public corporations. A municipal cor poration is a municipal government, having all co ordinate departments of a complete government, and is something more than a private corporation. The second section of the act of 1850, confering the power ofgarnisheeing the salary of the officers of other corporations where such salary does not exceed five hundred dollars per annum, expressly excepts municipal corporations from the process of garnishment. Although the act of 1855-’56 re peals all other acts upon the subject of attachment and garnishment, it has nothing to do with that of 1850, which was passed for the purpose of ex empting effects from being garnisheed. The case was argued with considerable ability by O. A. Loehrane and John Lamar, Attorneys for plaintiff in error, and Massey and Whittle for de fendants. Complimentary Dinner. —A great dinner is to be given on the 22d instant at Beach Island, in honor ofSenator Hammond’s return home. The entire Carolina and Georgia delegations in Congress are invited to attend. Large and munificent prepara tions ate making, as we understand, to entertain an immense number. From the well-known spirit and hospitality of the Beech Islanders, we predicta glo rious day. It will be a rich treat enough, to hear our distinguished Senator speak to his beloved constituents in “thoughts that breathe and words that burn.” But when,superadded to this, a noble feast shall grace the day, and the presence of a high strung auditory animate the grove, while strains of exciting music shall blend all hearts in harmony and enthusiasm, may we not safely reckon upon a really delightful occasion. Who will go?—may we not rather ask —“who will not go?” It will be a pleasure to us all, to join in this demonstration of applause to the civic hero in whose honor the dinner is given. It may be, too, that we shall there see some of the other Congressmen of the two States. Wo have heard with pleasure that Gen. Bonham will probably speak. So perhaps will one or more of the members from Georgia. Let us then go down like an army with banners and enjoy the ample hospitality of our generous Beech Island neighbors. —Edgefield Advertiser. Type-Setting and Distributing Machine. —Mr. T. Alden, of this city, has invented, after many years of experimenting, a very ingenious machine for the composition and distribution of types. The mysteries of the invention cannot be explained with sufficient brevity for these columns, but the chief merit of the thing, in which it excels other contri vances of the kind, is : that the type are set and distributed by one and the same machine (by keys,) instead of separately as before. The processes by which the little bits of metal are caught up and put down again just in the right places, with never a blunder except when the human agency at the ma chine makes one; the way in which the type are fed out and returned again through an endless round, so that the distribution keeps up a constant supply for the composition: and the cunning de vices by which a thousand little practical difficul ties are overcome, are evidences of a marvelous in genuity on the part of the inventor, and show what thought and perseverance can accomplish. Mr. I Alden thinks that a good compositor, accustomed to manipulate the keys, would be able to set and distribute about 15,000 ems a day. The cost of the machines will probably be from $1,200 to $1,500 —JxV. Y. Jour, of Commerce. Mutiny and Strike on boad the Vanderbilt. — Just as the steamship Vanderbilt left her pier at noon yesterday, says the New York Herald of the sth inst., and headed down the river to proceed on her voyage to Europe, the majority of her crew resolved on a mutiny, and struck for higher wages. The captain, however immediately had the ship’s head turned up the river and the muti neers sent ashore. In quick time a cosmopolitan crew was taken on board, being gathered from about the piers iu the vicinity of where the stea mer was lying, and the Vanderbilt sailed in one hour afterwards as though nothing had happened. She carried out 346 passengers and $264,451 in specie. Baltimore. It ia melancholy to think, when nearly all our cities were jubilant with homage, praise, and glad ness for the retnrn ot another anniversary ot our national independence, all marked by the good or der and patriotism that should ever honor the day and the occasion, that Baltimore! stands alone as an exception. She could not let that glorious day pass off with her share ot peace and older and honor. Murder demanded its victims, and the fiend spirit that lurks in her midst obeyed the call, and the tragic onslaught of organized ruffians ac complished their work of death within the retired grove where the “Sabbath school attached to the Broadway Baptist Church” had assembled for in nocent recreation. The murder of a delenceless lad in the midst of that festive little circle stimu- lated the demoniac spirit of this ruffian band for more blood, and they sought it on another field, and added more victims to the list of murder. — When the hallowed day of the nation and sanctity of the Sabbath school, and the claims of innocent childhood, and Ihe office of pious teachers and pious parents plead in vain for the ruffian to stay his hand, and the obligations of law and the penal ties of its violation and its ministers are'all put at defiance, it shows that there is “something rotten in the State of Denmark.’ Can and will Baltimore live under the rule of the mob? or will she main tain the supremacy of her laws, protect the peace and safety of society, enforce a healthful moral re generation, and redeem her honor from the guilty stain of blood ? She must make her election to ignominiously surrender to the brute force of law less ruffians, or to maintain the supremacy of law and of every right that dignifies and honors an enlightened and Christian community. In all kindness, we say to our sister city she should not hesitate to do what is expected of her by those who know her history forjgallantry and honor. — Washington Union. An Interesting- Discovery. —We see it stated, upon what may be considered reliable authority, that thirty thousand Christians have recently been found upon an island north of Celebes. It has been rumored for a time, that there was there a Chris tian people, forgotten and forsaken, which, how ever, yet possessed three Bibles, and continued steadfast in the faith. When missionaries first landed on the island, they met with a school teach er and his pupils, who repeated in the Malayan tongue, “As the heart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O. Lord.*’ No Bibles were found, but the most precious promises of the Bibles written upon the bark of trees. They knew the Apostle’s Creed, and the Heidelberg Catechism, and had Christian customs. Twenty churches and schools yet existed. Through the instrumentality of paster Heldring, founder of the Magdalen Asylum at Steenbeck, and chief pa tron of Inner Missions in Holland, four mission aries, who had been educated under the venerable Gossner, were sent out, and three thousand persons baptized. This is certainly a most interesting discovery. The island on which these Christians were found belongs to the East Indian Archipelago. The Dutch have for years had political rule in this re gion. This may account for the original introduc tion of Christianity among this people, and for fact that the Heidelberg Catechism was still found in their possession. But still the particular time and circumstances in wnich this introduction took place may well challenge special attention, and elicit investigation from those who have the leisure and facilities for prosecuting it.— German Reformed Messenger. An Indian Lover. —Miss Bishop, the writer of “Floral Home,” who went to Minnesota as a teach er, received an offer of marriage from an Indian. He came to her dwelling decked in all his finery —scarlet flannel, rings, feathers, newly scoured brass ornaments, and bears claws—and through an interpreter announced to her that she must be his wife. It was urged that he had one wife. He replied, “All the band have as many as they can keep, and I have but te one.” As an extra induce ment he promised that she should have the best corner of his lodge, hunt by his side, and eat with him, while the dark squaw was to hush the pap oose, cook the food, carry the game, plant and hoe the corn, and provide wood and water.” Miss Bishop, a little in fear of the “green eyed monster” even if the other claimant did hold an inferior po sition, declined the distinction. The Indian then begged a dollar to buy a shirt, and left with a haughty air. Next day he was drunk. But Miss Bishop’s associate almost fared worse; she had been only a few weeks in the country, and was ignorant of Indian customs; a young warrior,smit ten with her, called often; hoping to be rid of him she gave him a ring; he interpreted it as a token of partiality, and returned to take her to his lodge; the next day he returned again with six young braves to compel her to go with him. Explana tions and interference saved her. A Lady takes a Cocktail. —A lady passenger on board the steamer Montgomery dressed herself in her sleeping husband’s vest, coat, boots, hat, and pants, and thus attired came out of her state room, and went forward to the bar in the gentleman’s cabin, took her “morning bitters,” and returned to the ladies’ cabin, where her appearance created great consternation, especially among the ladjes en dishabille. It was said to be amusing to see the ladies “dartihg” into their state rooms and screaming out that a man was intruding himself; but when the excitement was at its highest pitch her hat fell off, displaying a profusion of curls, which explained everything, except a small bet won from her husband.— Vicksburg (Miss.) Sun. Receipts [for Beer. — Temperance beer. —Boil for about five minutes or over, a small handful of hops in four or six quarts of water, when cool to blood heat, Strain off the hops, add to the liquor one teaspoonful of cream tartar, one teacup of mo lasses, one of yeast. Let it stand about twenty- j four hours—it is then fit for use—will keep good but two or three days. Ginger Beer. —For one gallon of boiling water, take one pound loaf sugar, one ounce best ginger, one ounce of cream tartar, one quarter ounce tar taric acid, when nearly cold add one tabiespoon ful of yeast or thirty drops essence lemon. Then bottle and corktight. In two days it will be fit for use.— Rural New Yorker. Mrs, Partingtonjon Homestead Exemption. — “Homestead exemption,” exclaimed Mrs. Parting ton, throwing down the paper, “it’s come to a pretty pass, indeed, that men are going to exempt themselves from home just when they please, with out apy proviso for cold nights*” A tipsy Irishman, leaning against a lamp-post as a funeral procession was pasing by, was asked who was dead. “I can’t exactly sav. sir; but I presume it is the jiDtleman in the coffin!” Mr. A. F. Snow, of Brunswick, Me., says a few applications of castor oil will kill any kind of warts on man or beast, without soreness. “Am i not a little pale?” inquired a lady, who was short and corpulent, of a crusty old bachelor. “You look more like a big tub,” was the quick reply. LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA, St. Johns, N. F. July 12. —The British and North Am. Royal Mail Steamship, Captain J. W. Lang was boarded off Cape Race to-day by the steam ‘yacht belonging to the Associated Press. The Canada briDgs Liverpool dates to Saturday July 3d. Commercial.

The bill to allow Jews to hold; seats in the House of Commons was passed to a third reading in the House of Lords, by forty-six majority. Parliament will be prorogued in July. The news lrom France is unimportant. The Spanish Ministry have lesigned, and anew cabi net formed. O’Donnell is the Minister of Foreign Affairs- Marshal Ney’s Daath-Scene. The vengeance of the Allied Powers demands some victims; and the intrepid Ney, who had well-nigh put the crown again on Bonaparte’s head at Waterloo, was to be one of them. Con demned to be shot, he was led to the Garden of Luxemburg, on the morning of the 7th of Decem ber, and placed in front of a file of soldiers, drawn up to kill him. One of of the officers stepped up to bandage bis eyes, but he stopped him, saying, ‘Are you ignorant that for twenty-five years I have been accostomed to face both ball and bullet?’— He then lifted his hat above his head, and with the same calm voice that had steadied his columns so frequently, in the roar and tumult of battle, said, ‘I declare, before God and man, that I never betrayed my country ; may my death render her happy. Vive la France !’ He then lurned to the soldiers, and striking his hand on his heart, gave order,‘Soldiers, fire!’ A simultaneous discharge followed, and the ‘bravest of the brave’ sank to rise no more. ‘He who had fought five hundred battles for France, not one against her, was shot as a traitor!’ As I looked on the spotjwhere he fell, I could not but sigh over his fate. True, he broke his oath of allegiance —so did others, carried away by their attachment to Napoleon and the enthusi asm that, hailed his approach to Paris. Still, he was no traitor. Guyzot on Bonapart. —Since (writes the French statesman in his ‘Memoirs’) I have had some share in the government of men, I have learned to do justice"to the Emperor Napoleon.— He was endowed with a genius incomparbly ac tive and powerful; much to be admired for his an tipathy to disorder, for his profound instincts in ru ling, and for his energetic in reconstruc ting the social frame work. But his genius had no check, acknowledged no limits to his desires or will, either emanating from Heaven or man, and thus remained revolutionary while combatting rev olution; thoroughly acquainted with the general conditions of society, but imperfectly or rather coarsely, understanding the necessities of human nature; sometimes satisfying them with the {[soundest judgment, and at others depreci ating and insulting them with impious pride. Who i could have believed that the same man who had established r the Concordat, and reopened the churches in France, would have carried off the Pope from Rome, and kept him a prisoner at Fontainbleau? It is going too far to apply the same ill-treatment to philosophers and Christians, to reason and faith. Amongst the great men of his class, Napoleon was by far the most necessary lor the times. None but himself could so quickly and effectually substitute order in fplace of anarchy, but no one was so chimerical as to the future; toi, after having been master of France and Europe he suffered Europe to drive him from France. His name is greater and more enduring than his ac tions, the most brilliant of which, his conquests, disappeared suddenly and forever, with himself.—- in rendering homage to his exalted qualities, I feel no regret at not having appreciated them until a - his death. For me, under the empire, there was too much of the arrogance of power, too much contempt of right, too much revolution, and too little liberty. _ Mysteries of the Queen of Portugal's Toilette. A frightful discovery was made in the chamber oi the Queen of Portugal after she quitted Brussels. Two or three fine ladies of that capital, being in quisitive about royalty, searched every hole and corner of the bed-room her Majesty occupied.— They found a large plait ot false hair for the back of the head, small plaits for the fiont ot the head, hair dye, white paint, and rogue. The Queen of Portugal is not yet twenty years old.
