Braxton axii Lewis. — We learn, says the Richmond Compiler of the 4th, that those coun ties have returned an Administration delegate. They were fast year represented by a Whig, Mer cer and Giles, one delegate, and Logan one, to hear from, both Administration last year. If there he no farther change, the vote in the next Legis lature on joint ballot will be Whigs 78, Admin istration 75, Conservatives 13, In this estimate we place Bath among the Conservatives, which one report states to have elected a Whig. Col. Bek’s Reception in Mexico. —The New Orleans Bulletin, of the 31st ult. says: “It may be within the recollection of our readers that a short time ago Col. Bee was sent from Texas as Minister or Envoy Extraordinary to the court of Mexico. The following extract from tha Vera Cruz Censor will show what kind of a welcome the ambassador of the single star received : " “‘We do not know which most to admire the audacity of those brigands in sending us their pedlar, ( marchante ) to ask us to allow them the quiet and pacific possession of their robbery, or the answer the commandant general gave to the individual who apprized him of the arrival of this Quixotic ambassador. From the tenor of the reply, it appears that if he lands he will he accom modated with lodgings at the prison. Neverthe less, the supreme government will designate what definitely ought to be done. The commandant says, he is not aware of the existence of a nation called the republic of Texas, hut only of a horde of advenlnrers in rebellion against the laws of the government of the republic.’ ” Daniel Harvey, a Narragansclt Indian, has been convicted before the Supreme Court of Washing ton Co., Rhode-Islan(l, of the murder of Christo pher Ross of the same tribe. The mnrder was committed in a drunken frolic. Harvey is sen tenced to be hung on the 9th of August. General Post-Office. —The corner stone of the new edifice intended for the General Post- Office, on Seventh and E. streets, Washington, was laid on the 25th ult., in presence of the Pre sident and heads of Departments. Upon a plate, affixed to the corner stone, was the following in scription: General Posl-oftice United States Founded 1775. Buildingdestruyed by fire 183(1 Rebuilt fire-proof 1839—together with the names of the chief officers of government, at the time of rebuilding the edifice. A Western Editor, says the Editor of a Michi gan paper, wants to know whether the laws le cently enacted against the carrying of deadly tveapons, apply to doctors who cany pills in their pockets 7 The expense of cleaning the streets in New York last year, amounted to $150,000. The number of miles cleaned is 134. The New York Journal of Commerce says that the great steamer British Queen is announc ed to start from London on her first voyage to the U. States, June 20. Mrs. Betsey Rebecca Sawyer requests infor mation through the Boston papers relative to Joel Barlow Sawyer, her only child, and main dependence, who left Boston two years ago to act as engineer on the railroad route from Charleston S. C., to Georgia, and has not been heard from since. Publishers at the South will please circu late this inquiry. Fiiance. —Very few can comprehend, precise ly, the various shades of political opinion that con trol the ruling parties in France. The droite, the gauche, the centre-gauche, the centre-droitc, the doctrinaries, the legitimists, the tiers parti, &c.,arc worse than Chinese puzzles to most readers. We doubt if the leaders themselves understand pro foundly the complexion of their politics. 1. The droite (right) was formerly meant for the administration party generally. 2. The gauche (left) for the Opposition. 3. The oentrc-droite (right centre) and 4. The centre-gauche, (left centre) are made up respectively of cither of the foregoing us the central or neutral members, coalesce more to one side or the other. 5. The doctrinaries are the academicians, phil osophers, literary professors, those who affect at least to have the light of reason and truth and science for their guide, and the industrial arts of civilization and peace for their object and aim, rather than warn for conquests and military glory —the conservative rather than destructive policy —yet wc see Soull ranked as a semi-conservative; so far true, we believe, as lie is opposed to any practical interference in the war in Spain, of which he himself saw the fatal policy in the time of Na tirae of Napoleon. The doctrinaires, as men Avho worship an academic scholastic life, prefer of course a strong and monarchical government, so long as their laboratories and lecture rooms re- main protected from the intrusion of military bayonets on the one side, or loco foco "but-enders,” such as our city boasts, on the other. Guzot, ‘•membre do I'lnstitut” and former preceptor of the Duke of Orleans, lecturer and writer on the philosophy of history, &c. is at their head. 6. The legitimists are easily understood as the ultra-Carlist believers in the divinity only of the Bourbon dynasty. 7. The tiers-parlt, and the republicans, and Bonapartists and the just milieu, seem to have disappeared from the arena. —Evening Star, Expedition fkom Illinois to Oregon.— We learn from the Peoria Register that a compa ny of young men, ten or twelve in number, was to leave that place, bound for Oregon, on the first day of May. The articles and expense of the outfit as fol lows : A good riding horse, say $75 00 A rifle, carrying ball from 16 to 42 to lb, 15 00 Brace of pistols, 10 Oil Hunting knife, 1 00 lbs. of powder, with lead in propor tion, 5 00 2 woollen blankets, 5 00 A pack pony, to be purchased on frontier, 25 00 For contingencies, 25 00 $l6l 00 Every man has a horse. The company has a wagon, which will be drawn by two or more of these horses to the frontier, when it will be dis posed of, and the loading taken on upon part horses. The loading consists of a large tent, 18 feet diameter, capable of accommodating 30 per sons ; cooking utensils; provisions; wearing apparel, and some other articles. The sum all lowed above for contingencies will cover the cost of the wagon, cooking utensils, and such other portions of its contents as are held in common. The Register states that the outfit makes no allowances forexpcnscs on the journey .which will be light, as all provisions and provender will be bought by wholesale, and tavern charges never encountered. From the day of starting, it is not intended to sleep in a house until the company build one on the Columbia river. The first stopping place wilt be in Independence, Missouri. Here the party will probably dispose of their wagon, and purchase pack ponies. They will also purchase one month’s stock of provisions, upon which they will subsist until they reach the grounds of the buffalo. That animal will furnish their subsistence afterwards fill they ar rive at the mouth of the Columbia river. Upon reaching the Columbia, the party will proceed to take possession, as American citizens of a few of the most eligible points, and make set tlements. These “claims” (to use a pioneer phrase) will be held in common by the whole company, until the title is recognized by the Uni ted Stales. Should any of the party, however, previously become dissatisfied, he will be at liber ty to leave, but his interest in the possession thus claimed will be forfeited. After thus making their locations, the compa ny will engage in such purs jits as may offer the best prospects of gain—whether the fur trade, the fishery, or agriculture. These enterprises may be carried on in common or independently, as shall be deemed most advisable after arriving upon the ground. At all events, farms will be opened, in order to secure one certain means of subsistence. The same paper states that the Rev. Mr. Grif fin, with his young wife, had just left Peoria, un der the patronage of the Presbyterian Church, on a mission to the territory west of the Rockcy Mountains, to labor among the Indians of that vast region. Alfalfa ok South American Clover.— We have been favored with a stalk of this luxu riant grass from Mr. Bryan Jackson, near this city, raised from seed impoited from Buenos Ayres by Dr. Thompson and distributed by him to many members of the agricultural Society of this county: —This stock measures upwards of 4 feet in length—the leaves arc more abundant and larger than our common red or while clover and the head or blossom nearly the same.—This val uable variety of the clover family we hope will be more fully tested by our farmers and become an important acquisition to our slock of grass. We should be pleased to hear if this clover has suc ceeded with others in this country to whom the seed was given—and indeed all the information that may be possessed by any one respecting it. It will certainly, from the sample exhibited to us, make a most abundant and heavy era]) of hay to the acre—ripe enough for cutting by the middle of May—and it is said a succession of cropscan be raised from it the same season, and that cattle and horses are very fond of it. We arc fully persuaded that great benefits are to arise to our country by the careful introduction into it from other countries, of all the best seeds, fruits and plants that will bear acclimation among us and add to our gratification and comfort.— Wilmi?ig ton Del. Gaz. Yankee Perseverance. —An initcrcntmap seller went into a merchant’s counting room near our office the other day and asked the occupant if he wished to purchase a map, “No,” was the tart reply. “Will you look at one?’’ “No, I have mure of my own now than I have time to examine.” “Will you allow mo to look at yours then’” ‘,Yes,there they hang.” “Well, while I am looking at year’s I’ll just unroll mine—that you know wont hurt anybody.” So the map vender displayed several of his best at full length upon the counter and then quietly commenced looking at the merchant’s which hung against the wall. After making a few observations about some curious water falls, caves. &c., at places which he traced out upon the map before him, he managed to engage the merchant’s attention, and at last referred to his own map, lying on the coun ter, for a more perfect illustration of his descrip tions, and finally so much interested the auditor that he bought three different maps, at six dollars each, of the pedlar, and very politely asked him to call again when he got out a new edition!—Bet ton Dust, Amusing Blunders. —ln May, 1784, a bill, intended to limit the privilege of franking, was sent from Ireland for the royal approbation; in it was a clause enacting, that any member who, from illness or any other cause, shall be unable to write, might authorise some other one to frank for him, provided that on the back of a letter so franked, the member doth at the same time give, under his hand, a full certificate of his inability to write. In another bill for pulling down the old Newgate in Dublin and rebuilding it on the same spot, in which the old materials were to be employed, it was enacted that, to prevent useless expense, the 1 prisoners remain in the old Newgate till the new ! one was finished. Two Irish lieutenants being once at Portsmouth, and talking of the gallant 1 defence of a Spanish frigate which had just been taken and brought into port, a dispute arose ; whether it was thirteen men out of fifteen, or sis- \ toon out of thirteen, that were killed at one gun ; on which they referred lo one countrymen standing by, who answered, “That really he could not be positive which of the two it was, but he rather believed it was the latter” “An Irish servant inquiring for Lieut. Palls, among other descriptions, added, he was either nephew or niece lo Colonel Wilkinson, he could not tell which. Lieutenant U. L. P. of the Preventive Service, disputed concerning the proportion allowed the military of the produce of smuggled goods seized under their protection. Doth agreed it was a moiety, but how much a moiety was they could not tell, and u man was actually sent some dis tance to the collector to ascertain whether a moiety was a third or fourth. Flic Rev. Mr. Ncwmro, of Froylo, having writ leu an acrostic on Miss Huirst, one of the beauties of that day, Ensign B. begged leave to copy it, saying, he would present it to Miss Beever, as an acrostic of his own composition made upon her name. During the building of the Theatre in Dublin, two laborers were eating their dinners, reposing upon their hods, when the long and somewhat at tenuated Colonel Leigh passed by them, on which one of the laborers exclaimed, “Onus, now did ye ever sec such a thin match of a thing as that !” “ Faith,” replied the other, “I know a fellow as thin as two of him.” Mr. O. Smith plays the same line of characters as Mr. T. P. Cooke. One night our most celebra ted dramatic writer was introduced to Mr. O. Smith in the green-room at the Adelphi, and expressed his pleasure by saying, “Ah, I had the honor of being introduced to your namesake, Mr. T. P. Cooke, last week. These arc scarcely of the common order of what arc generally called hulls, but they show a con glomeration of mind, a kind of mystified method of calculation, producing results which are to he found in no other mind in the world but that of an Irishman. The rapid growth of the West is well shown in the progressive population of Illinois. In 1800 there were in the limits of thatstat;, about 1000 souls. By the Census of 1820, there were 54,000. The next census, in 1830, exhibited 157,455, as the number of inhabitants. And live years after that, according to the State Cen sus, the population of Illinois had reached to 209,797. In the election for Governor, in 1838 there were 64,000 votes given, in a territory which {contained about 3,000 inhabitants, less than forty years licfore! Such arc the strides to population and power—sneh the marches lo “ em pire,” of the great West. Rklioious Toleration.— The following law was passed by the Legislature of the State of New York: No writ, process, warrant, order, judgment, de cree or other proceeding of any court, or office of justice of the peace, which shall be served or exe cuted upon the seventh day of the week, com monly called Saturday, by or upon any person whose religious faith and practice is to keep the Seventh day as a day set apart by divine com mand, ns the Sabbath of rest from labor and dedi cated to she Worship of God, shall be valid ex cept in cases of breach of the peace, or apprehen sion of persons charged with crimes and misde meanors.—The service of any such proceeding, in all other cases, shall be utterly void. No person shall be subject to do or perform military duty on the seventh day of the week whose religious faith and practice is the same as stated in the first section of this act, except in cases of invasion, insurrection, or in time of war. From the Philadelphia Saturday Courier. Henry and Mane : on, TUE FAITHFUL ONES. A PRIZE TALK. CII AFT £ll I. In the dealing out of the affections and feelings to the human race, how unequal the distrlmtion ! The natures of some overflow with kindness— others acidify every thing with which they come in contact! The feelings of some swell up from the heart fresh, generous, and pure : their bland influence, like a flood of sunshine, harmonizes the troubled spirit; others would render turbid the clearest fount—would cast a blight on the richest fancies. T have looked for him long and earnestly, and yet he comes not. I wonder why he delays ! This boquet, which I gathered for him, has nearly faded. They say, that man's love is as mutuble as the leaves of these flowers. It may be so; but he is not as other men ; he loves not as other men. His heart’s feelings have a free gust; his heart’s fibres arc turned to a greater unison.’ Thus mused Marie. The rich fires of sunset were yet fresh in the west, and the light was flooding on, as it floods the Dalmatian shores, from the bosom of the Adriatic. The zephyr was there—the brilliance of the ‘rosy-cycd’ star was there—and Marie was there—alone. Bright had been the day-star of Marie; it had ever been in the ascendant. It seemed as though her life had been a life of joy. The hyacinth bloomed for her ; her foot pressed on violet beds ; the crocus opened its early beauties to her eye.— Once only had the dark shades of life gathered around her; it was at the death of her mother Long did she remember the light of a mother’s eye. But time, which raises up the bowed down, and bows down the raised up —which snatches the rose from the cheek of one, to crim son more deeply the cheek of another, healed that young heart. Her father lived, but he was too deeply absorbed in his mad schemes of ambition, to heed his daughter. Under the care of a wid owed, childless aunt, she trod the bright places of childhood. Oft did her laugh break over the hills, and call up the bird’s wild song. .She grew —grew in beauty. Oh! it is sweet, supremely sweet, to sec the bands dissolve away which hold a lovely girl to childhood, and to see her hurst forth, like a spring bud, in the beauty and sym metry of womanhood. CHAPTER 11. ‘Marie, is not Mr, Mardoii frequent in his visits here!’ asked her father one evening; and his dark eye flashed full towards her. •Yes, father; is there harm in that!’ ■Daughter, there is harm ; I would not have it so. The only child of a Wieland, methinks should not be too intimate with a country law yer.’ ‘What objections have you to Henry, father!’ ‘Oh, no objections to Mr. Mardcn ; but—but —he’s only a country lawyer.’ ‘Father, I ’ ‘Say no more, Marie ; his frequent comings must be broken off.’ And Marie said no more, but her heart was | full. She admired Henry ; ho was above the i crowd around her in nobility of sentiment, if not 1 in birth. His mind was rich in classical irnago- I ry, and his thoughts gushed out seemingly as the untroubled distillations of a child. Burn under an inauspicious star, and thrown | on unfavorable places. Homy Mardon had re -1 tislcd manfully all opposition. With a high soul, anil a nerved arm, he had dashed abide the enticements of youth, and with a mind, free from every shackle that would restrain it to earth, lie drank from the reservoirs of Nature. Hedrank, and was tilled. There is something God-like the soul, low of birth, seeking after high places, and reaching alter the pleasures of intellectual existence. Oft had Henry communicated with Marie. Their spirits were congenial. Marie Wieland was the betrothed of Henry Mardon • • » * Laughter was on the face of the morning.— The garments of earth glittered as a gemmed eor notj The dew-drop shrank from the loath of the sunbeam, as the sensitive plant shrinks from the touch of man. Proudly and beautifully swept the lark, the messenger of day. The air was melody, the heavens bright, but how weak were the attractions of Nature to her, the temple of whose heart was invaded by grief, and its altar despoiled! Marie arose from her bed unrefreshed, for care had hung upon her eyelids, and mingled its trou bled intlnenecs in her slumbers. Oh ! Oh how the. cheek loses its rosy blush, and the rich eye its lustre, by one night’s sleepless passing! She had seen Henry—seen him for the last time.— Severe was the parting. It is hard to wrest away the ivy, strong bound and untraeeable amid the branches of the oak, but more difficult to separ ate hearts whose tendrils are interwoven by a thousand secret tendencies. Sad was Marie. Aunt Dorothy done idl she could do; but she, simple soul, could not admin ister effectually to a wounded heart! She had lived in other days, when marriage was not a speculation; when repellant minds were not constrained together, nor congenial minds con strained apart! CHAPTER 111. There are men ever restless—ever changing. They endeavor to break away from every restraint, like the untamed bird, holdcn from the flowers of a spring morning. Such was thecharactcr ofMr. Wieland. High was his hearing, deep was the darkness of his eye. The expansive forehead told that within him were materials to effect daring and fearful purposes.—Ambitious, ho had ever mingled in the stormy elements of polities. Horace says, “ Dulce cat pro patriamori.” Wieland thought it was better ‘pro patria vivere.’ Ho lived for his country, and lived for her until he had sacrificed his peace and fortune to the cor morant tooth of the public. It would he a painful task for a writer to trace the gradually downward course of one who hud embarked upon the high sea of politics, without being sufficiently freighted with moral virtue, to withstand the under currents, which would bear him from his track. It would be useless too. In stances of this nature are daily occurring, which man might profit by, if he would profit by aught on the subject. Mr. Wieland had entered fully into the politics of the times. Gifted with those virtues which please the multitude,for awhile he was borneca reeringly on. But he throws himself upon the foibles ofthe multitude, commits himself to a lea ky vessel, which may sink, surrounded by the smoothness of a summer sea. Reverses will come—and coming to a man of Mr. Wieland’s 1 temperament, they exert no amiable influence. At this lime, the elements were gathering trou blously on our national horizon. The stales hud flung off the night marc of tyranny which had pressed them to the earth, and having no common foe with which to contend, they were disputing among themselves. The federate bond had not yet been adopted that made them, as it were, a unity. The interests of the different sections of the country were in fearful conflict; and many a wise statesman, who had been in the ship of state when the waves dashed high, trembled at the ledge she was closely nearing, jjju In this state of suspense, when the minds of the people were eminently excited, the course pursued by Mr. Wieland was thought to be, to say the least, suspicious. Defeated in some of his schemes, and maddened by defeat, he plunged into excess of action, which his enemies construed into a disregard and violation of the laws. Whe ther it were true, that he designed a lawless act, will never, perhaps, he developed; but certain it is, the tide of public opinion bore heavily against him—and who is able to withstand public opin ion 1 The proud, the high, the ambitious Wie land, was arrested as a participator in or conniver at— treason Public opinion, en verite, is a fluctuating sea ! CHAPTER IV. In the meantime where was Henry 1 Had he cast himself in the sepulchre of his earthly hopes, and given up his hopes to a senseless weeping I Was he a Romeo, dying at the tomb ofthe Cap ulet ? Or, was he a man, with the Teachings of a man, mounting the ladder to fame? His love was not a passion, so fiery in its nature as to burst out with a fearful luridness, and then to subside leaving naught but a mass of ruins. Novel readers may condemn me for not killing him instantly. I hazard their condemnation. Thank Heaven ! the day of sickly sentiment is passing, and people can now love, and live. But Henry Mardon loved as a reasonable man. His was a pure anil steady flame, lighting up a pathway to virtue, and discovering the secret places of vice. When he learned the objections of Mr. Wie land to him, as a son-in-law, instead of yielding to a supineness of feeling, hiaeuergtes were quick ened into action. He parted with Marie—(in a pathetic manner, I suspect—lovers are apt to pail thus.) He established himself in another section of the country, and soon gained a reputation for logical deduction and closeness of reasoning— trails inseparable to good lawyers. And think you tie forgot Marie 1 Docs the Dove forget its mate 1 He was sitting in his study one evening, in that listless manner in which one is apt to fall, after a day of close application, when a servant reached him a letter. The endorsement was in a familiar hand. It is said that ladies always tremble when they receive a note, but had one of my female readers seen Henry then,she would have thought the trembling was not confined to her sex. He broke the seal and read:— “ Henry—Come to us quickly ! My father has been arrested us a traitor to the interests of his country. He must be defended—successfully de fended—or you know the consequence. Henry Mardon could never marry a malefactor’s daugh ter. Come! ‘Devotedly yours, ‘Hcpt. iilst, 17—. Marie. ’ Henry done what all other young men would have done in the same case—he went to Marie. But as the facilities of steam hud not been so abundantly multiplied in those days as now, we have no authority to affirm that he went either in one hour or one day. He ascertained the situa tion of affairs, and ascertained too, that he had only two weeks in which to prepare a defence for Wieland. This was the most important ease in which he had ever been retained, but his energies rose equal to the task. CHAPTER V. 1 here war a hasty rush of people, as the rush rng of mist before the breath of the morning, on the day of the trial. All classes forsook their la bors and falling in the current were borne to the court-room. It is useless to trouble the reader with ?lie tecHwicidities of a legal proceeding.— After all the preliminaries had been adjusted, Murdon the counsel for the defendant arose. There whs a deep stillness through the wide assembly, as (hough a sorrow pressed npou it. All were anxious to hear the youthful pleader, who had sprung into notice from obscurity. He delivered the exordium in a tone scarcely audible, but richly musical. \V hen his feelings became excited— when he came to grasp at the powerful arguments of his antagonist counsel—when intellect grap pled with intellect, and energy with energy the minds of the multitude were borne away by the depth of his eloquence. When he had done, there was a mingling of voices, like the murmurs of the sea, and half-ut tered, halt-suppressed notes of approholion, wan dered through the room. Reader, the haughty ichind owed his life to the exertions of a poor country law//<r / Ah! Henry would not have exchanged situations with the rich, the powerful of the earth. Ho had gained renown, and he had won Marie. • • • • ♦ “Mr. Mardon,” said Mr. Wieland, sonic days after, "I have deeply wronged you, Your solici tude in my behalf demands n reward greater than 1 can give. My all is yours.” Henry profited by his generosity. He modest ly asked lor Marie. Ho took her, and was happy. The Russian Knout.— Many paragraphs have appeared both in our newspapers and maga zines, descriptive of the punishment of the Knout m Russia; hut the following, related by the Abbe d’Aulcroche, is the most thrillingly horrible reci tal we have over re td on the subject, and is no doubt strictly true : Madame Lapouchin was one of the finest wo men belonging to the court of the Empress Eliza beth; she was intimately connected with a foreign ambassador, then engaged in a conspiracy. Mad ame Lapouchin, who was supposed to lie an ac complice in this conspiracy, was condemned by the Empress Elizabeth to undergo the punish ment of the knout. She appeared at the place of execution in a genteel undress, which contribu ted still more to heighten her beauty. The sweetness of her countenance and her vivacity, were such as might indicate indiscretion, but not even the shadow of guilt; although I, says the Ab be, have been assured by every person of whom I made enquiry thatsho was really guilty. Young, lovely, admired, and sought after at the court, of which she was the life and spirit; instead of the number of admirers her beauty usually drew af ter her, she then saw herself surrounded only by executioners. >She looked on jhem with astonish ment, seeming to doubt whether such prepara tions were intended for her: one of the execution ers then pulled oil'a kind of clonk, which covered hci bosom: her modesty taking the alarm, made her start back a few steps; she then turned pale, and burst into tears; her clothes were soon after stripped off, and in a few moments she was quite naked to the waist, exposed to the eager looks of a vast concourse of people, profoundly silent. One of the executioners then seized her by both hands, and turning half a round, threw her on his buck, bending forwards so as to raise her a few inches from the ground: and the other execution er then laid hold of her delicate limbs with his hand hardened at the plough, and without any remorse adjusted heron the hack of his compan ion, in the properest posture for receiving the I punishment. Sometimes he laid his large hands brutally upon her head, in order to make her keep it down, sometimes like a butcher going to slay a lamb, he. seemed to sooth her ns soon ns he fixed her in the most favorable attitude. The execu tioner then took a kind of whip, called the knout, made ot a long strap of leather, prepared for this purpose, he then retreated a few steps, measuring the requisite distance with a sternly eye; and, lea ping backwards, gave a stroke with the end of the whip, so us to curry away a slip of skin from the neck to the bottom of the hack; then striking his feet against the ground, he took his aim for applying a second blow, parallel to the former; so that, in a few moments, all the skin of her back was cut away in small slips, most of which re mained hanging to the shift. Her tongue was cut out immediately after, and she was directly banished into Siberia. Univkhsal Knowleiiok or EaiTons. — An editor of a newspaper must know every thing in the world and more too. He must be a complete Admirable Crichton. Ho must be at home on every subject. As to politics, that mat ter of course is at his finger’s ends. He know’s all the crooks, twists and turnings, and must en lighten his readers according. In mathematics he must he a Sir Isaac Newton. He must be able to decide, and correctly too, whether the lute arithmetic, or cyphering book, is the very best that was ever published. In astronomy he must tell who is the best star gazer, who points out best, and most correctly, the great bear and the little bear, the hyudes and the pleiades. In class ics he must he a Stephens and I’orson at least, as well as a Scapula (we suppose the French would call it L’epaule) in dictionaries and lexi cons. In horticulture, floriculture and botany in general, he must be a Linnams, or, to come nearer home, a Bigelow, (ahem, aside, we hardly know a dahlia from a dandelion, or a butter-cup from a bean pod.) In the drama he must be able to de cide who arc the greatest tragedians and comedi ans on the stage. He must he a Talma, u Cook, a Cooper, a Kean, a Mathews, a Liston ; he must know which is the best tragedy or comedy of the day, and must decide whether a new one of cither description will succeed or even bear a repetition, and whether the author will gain or lose reputa tion by his production. In medicine and surgery, he must be a Dupuytren, an Abernethy, a ISir Astley Cooper, a Warren, a Danforth, a Jackson ; he must know and decide which arc the best treatises on medicine and surgery that have ever been published. In chemistry he must boa Sir Humphrey Davy. In fact, he must and does know every thing; he must be and is au fail on every subject and in every science. If any man wants an opinion which is decisive ami final on all and every subject, moral, political, legal, or any other al or gal, ho must apply to an editor, and he is sure to got a decision at once true, con clusive and satisfactory, and from which there is no appeal. We would by no means wish to puff up or flatter the knowledge or judgment of an editor, hut we would merely intimate that he does know a little more of and understand a little better every subject that ever was treated on, from I the science of astronomy down to the Thames j tunnel, than any other class of beings that ever ! existed.
