| Autographs and. Authors.
There is a very common idea that Judges
have'little to do but sit in court, hear trials,
■ receive verdicts, and pass sentence. They
have t* do all this, and a great 4oal more, —
to study all now laws, to look back at old de
cisions, to weigh at leisure the arguments of
counsel, to balance authority .against autho
rity, to declare their, opinions,-,which decide
the' question, and, (in this State, and soilio
' others, though never in England,) to put their
judgments into writing—whioh is often dono
with most inordinate verbosity. Judge Cad
i walader’s five hours’ first judgment on “Our
American Cousin” casa, to wit. More than
| this, in criminal cases, their labor does not
, cease whon the sentence is passed. Fre
! quently, they havo to go over the whole cose
L again, irom their notes, when a new trial is
moved for, or when the Homo Secretary Is
; applied to for mitigation ot punishment or en
tire pardon. , _
| Within our own knowledge, lor ho djd not
J resign his seat on the judicial bondßS*6lil
March, 1884, (just befoio the beginning 'of
| Hiraly Term,) ono of the most conscientious
i of modem English Judges was Sir John Bay
j ley. Bom in 17G3, he first practised as a
| Special Pleader, and published his “Sum-
I mary of the -Law of Bills of Exchange,
j Cash Bills, and in 1789—:
a work which has gone into many editions in
England, and was republished (lore, but has
been greatly superseded by Sir Jolmßylos*'
able book on the same subject. In 1790 he
was ono of the editors of Eaymond’s Re
ports. In 1792, ho was called to the- bar,
and “ took the coif,” (;. e. became Sergoant-
in 1799. Ho was made ono of. the
Justices of the Court of King’s Bench and
Knighted, in 1608. Eight years later, ho pub
lished the Book of Common Prayer, with
Notes.. In 1880, he yielded to the solicitation
of Lord Lyndhurßt, (then Chancellor,) and
removed, as a puisne Baron of the Ex
chequer. At the time he took his seat there,
this Court was literally slmhned by the legal
profession, for Sir William Alexander, who
was Chief Baron, was an old woman. But Sir
John Bayley’s reputation en the King’s Bench
was so high that suitors and lawyers -trusted
in him, and the Exchequer Court speedily
was as crowded as the King’s Bench. Bayley
retired from the Bench in March, 1884, abd
died in October, 1841.
nere is a letter from Sir John Bayloy, not
dated, addressed to « The BBverend Dr. Cot
top, Ofdinary of Newgate.” The Chaplain of
the prison of Newgate, in London, is always
called “ The Ordinary.” One of-his dnties Is
to attend persons capitally convicted, to the
last jnopnent—when they ascend the scaffold,
and hence, in allusion to the name of the Of-,
dinary to whom Sir John Bayley wrote, ctv
minals were wont to say, jestingly, that,' at
tho worst, they could only <* dance upon "no
thing, with their ears stnffed with Cotton.”.
We give tho following, whioh has not before
been printed, to shpw what consclentions pains
Sir J ohn Bayley, an upright as well as a learned
judge, took in criminal cases; anil also what
fhe JSDglish judges decided, on a point of law,
as to what constitutes Burglary:
“Fib: Having received a Letter from twoPri
sonere in Newgate, is which your Heine is nun
tioneij.'T fake tho Liberty of troubling you' upon ’
the Subject, and of inclosing their Letter, and the
CusS whioh wee submitted on their Behalf to the ;
Consideration of the Judges, Their supposition is)
that their Cose wee not oorreoUy staled to- tjjg.
Judges, and that the Representation wOsthat-wey
had eat thro 1 an outer Shutter to the Premises-,4fe* -
wUl.aee, however, by,.the Care whteh I'inotcte,'
that
between the . Window and the Inner
Shutter was a anfiolent entry to constitute the of
fense of Burglary, an it was the opinion af the
Judgeß that it was. Jf in stating the Case when I
intimated that Opinion, X mentioned that the
Hand bed been introduced between en outer Shut
ter and the Window, I made a Mistake —I tronblo ,
yop upon the subjeot that the Prisoners may know
that tjieiroase pea correotly stated to tho Judges, .
and underwent a osroful Consideration upon a true
Stato of Pacts, I am, Sir,- jfour’e very reSpeot
fully, * J. Bayley.” :
Turning from Law to Literature, we drop
(amid a confused heap of unarranged auto
graphs, which liavo accidentally turned up
while looking for some curious letters which
we received, between 1836 and 1889, from tho
late Robert Southey) upon two documents
written by Thomas Do Quineoy. His Wri
tings, collected by Jamos T. Fields, liimsclf a
poet—who much reminds us of Rogers in
purity of thought and grace of expression—
form twenty-two volumes, in tho beautiful
edition by Ticknor & Fields, and it may fairly
be said that, in the department of Belles Let
tres, they are'indispensablo to every library,
public qr priyate. Their collection and pub
lication In this countfy, which tyas permitted
to yield a handsome compensation to Do
Quineoy, led to tho issuing of an edition in
England also. Wo hoar of an intended vo
lume of Tho Beautios of De Quineoy, with
some notieo of his life, which ought to bo a
readable and popular book.
A good life of Do Quineoy is very much
needed. Only one has yet appoared—lnde
pendent of what he has himself communicated
In his Autobiographical Sketches—and that,
Covering only twenty pages 12m0., was
pre/|xe4 to a Boston reprint ot “Klostor
heim, or tho Marine,” published jn 1855.
There |s a very accurate bibliographical potice
of Do Quincey In Allibono’s “Critical Dic
tionary ql English literature and of British
and American Authorsand, in vol. TI. of
“The New American Cyclopaedia” will be
found a vory fair biography, taking in tho
personal as well as tho literary history of tho
man. Al|il}ono and tpo Cyclopaedia are both
wrong, however, at the starting pqlnLr-tho
date of De Quincey’s birth, which did not tajro
place, as they aver, in 1786, but on the
August, m 6, as was stated by himself in his
published writings, and repeated in the Bio
graphical notice already referred to, (which
tec take chargo of, with a parent’s care,) pre
fixed to “ Klosterheim.”
De Quincey’s 4 oa t4 occurred so recently,
(in his seventy-fifth yoav,) that there is
scarcely time, as yet, to write his Life as it
should be written. For, dospito his over
plenteonsness ot words, which spreads "the
thought—like gold-leaf—over a vast extent,
ho was a writer of thoroughly good English,
often picturesque and rarely dull, though oc
casionally tedious.
His American frlond, James T. Fields, who
yislted Edinburgh in Juno, has written an ac
count of De Quincoy’s last moments, which
we take leave to transfer hope, fpom our ex
cellent contemporary, tho Boston Transcripts
Last Houbsop “ The Ehslisu OrmH Eateii.”
—While Be .Quincey was oh hia death-bed, and a
few days befofe he died, there came to blip a let
ter from an o|d sckool-bplo-.v who hud not aeon
him alneo they parted, mere than sixty years bp
fore, as poya at the eo|iool-bonao porch. It waa a
farewell froip an ol,d roan pho loved hjmin bia
ohildbpod, and who o'onld not dfo without tolling
him that he paa st|ll remembered us the dear
companion of hia youtf-.. Full of affection, thst
letter reminded the dying man of the happy days
they had spent togotber aa aohool-fellowe, and ex
preaaed a wish that he wonld reply to hia old
ohild-friend. Do Qoinoey aept a loving measago;
hia hand waa too weak to write, and, a few morn*.
I Inga afterwards, he waa earried to hia resting-’
plane m the Edinburgh ohuroh-yard.
I have learnod a few particulars of the laat
daya of *ho “ Opium-eater” from thoao who loved
him, and who olosed hia eyea. When they sentfor
the kind pbyaiolan who attendod him through hia
final illnesa, he received him with that graoiona,
winning manner f< r whioh ho waa ao remarkable, |
and briofiy expressed tho nature of hia Indlepoei
tion. Then ho oonveraed very dearly and elo-1
cubiitly on other topioß, and eeemed oheerfijlly
resigned. Duridg the’next following tjtfae or four
days ho grew better, and thoßO about him were
constantly reminded of passages in-hia 'published
writings wherein he had nilißuroi death. Slight
and tranaient febril e»**xon», such as are inciden
tal to perrons wbA-euve passed tho allotted span of
human ljfe^t?" trod J at ,' ntorval ?A “”><l, how
and always without the aid ofl
-tjpeotfic-lcg, although his age had already oatried
: him to nearly sovouty-five. When he beoame fa*
1 tigued with holding the book, one o! bis daughters
road to him; but he always manifested the utmost
solioltude lest he should giro trouble to thoso who
ministered around his be a.
One of tho last volumes ho over looked over
was Allibone’s Dictionary. Tho mention of him*
selfln its pages seemed to give him pleasure, and
104 him to Bpeak of the maimer his writings had
been received in America. )Vith tranquil compo
sure and a serene spirit, he now began to sot his
house in order for thftt departure whioh he felt
was nigh at hand. Courteous expression of grati
tude constantly fell from his lips to those who
Waited on him, as be lay feeble in body but
with all his fine intellect undimmed. Weekß went
on, and be grew weaker. Shortly before he died,
he seemed filled with a “ holy calm' delight,” and
wad often heard speaking to those who had gone
beiofshlm Always he had shown through life
great interest in little children, and now, with ex
treme fondness, he talked of young people he had
loved in years gone by. On Wednesday morning,
tho 7th ef December, he blessed his eldest daugh
ter, who came to hia bedside from a distant part
of the country. Thon, turning to those who stdod
around, with touching sweetness of tone, ho said,
“ thank you.” and these were his last words on
earth
From Do Quincey himself, we turn to his
autograph. It is unusually small, neat, and
distinct; as fine in its lines as if it had been
traced with the most delicate of crow-quill pens.
“Webave one specimen, however, evidently
written in a hurry, and with a coarse pen,
which is of a bolder character. It runs
thus:
* This day, being n memorable day, April 23,

People, against Blackwood’s, which was*a
strong partisan on behalf of the Tories.
The year in which the following was written
is, unknown to us, but we.think it must have
been about 1835, at which timo De Quincey
was in Edinburgh, hard up.” Holyrood
Gardens, >Vhende he dates*, was a precinct of
the JBtoyat \Palaco Edinburgh, formerly, in
habited by the Scottish- Sovereigns, where
Mary Stuart saw' Efrzio murdered before her
-face, and then silently breathed, a vow of re
venge, which, ere long, caused the death of
Darnlejv her. husband and instigator of tho

« •»
I have seen at Harpers' the opening pages of
Dickens’ new serial, “Great Expectations,” the
first oha; ters of which will be issued in the Weekly
on Wednesday next. They pay him for it £1,125.
It Is to run through nine months, and each number
will 1 be published here about a week in advance of
its publication in England. John McLenan is at
work on the illustrations. The Harpers have also
secured, for £6OO, tho early sheets of the Cotnhill
Magazine , which Is to oontain a new story by
Thackeray. This will be published in tho Maga
zine: The Magazine will likewise soon contain
a now tale by tbo author of Adam Bede —one
of the tenderest, truest, and most fasci
nating of story-tellers. “Great Expectations”
promises to be ono of tho cleverest things Dickens
has done. Its' opening is very brilliant. His last
wotk “A Tale of Two Oitfes,” was entirely
, unique, showing a vein' he had not hitherto
worked, and it will bold its place’in our literature
as one of ilie-s6oatv yivld^atKl-impressive all

Tbo' Harpers.have also in press Mr. Motley?s
“ United Noshcrlanda,” a continuation of that
History of tho Dutoh Republic,” with which,
some years ago, ho astonished and delighted the
1 reading world, first of this Country and-Englaud,
and afterwards of Franoe, Holland, and Germany,
’into tho languages of whioh countries his work has
been translated Curiously enough, though one of
the greatest historians in onr language, Mr. Mot
ley’s name is yet to ho fousd in a historical dic
tionary or other such reooid of small and great
celebrities. How ho oame to write the “ Rise and
• Fall of the Dutoh Republfo’ he has finely described
in a letter written some time aftor the death of
.ProEoott:
“It seems to me but as yesterday,” he says,
“ though it must be now twelve years ago, that I
: wa9 talking with our ever-lamented friend St&ok
■ pole about my intention of wriving a history upon
asubjeot to which I have since that time heen de
voting myself. I had then made already some
jgoneral studies in reference to it, without being in
the least aware that Prescott had the intention of
writing the history of Philip 11. Stackpol© bad
beard the fact, and that large preparations had al
ready heen made for the work, although 1 Peru*
bad not yot been published. I felt, naturally,
much disappointed. I was oonsoious of the im
mense disadvantage to myself of making my
.pearance, probably at tbo same time, before the
. public, with a work not at all similar in plan to
Philip llbut whioh must, of necessity, traverse
aportion of the same ground. My first thought
was, inevitably as it were, only of myself, ft
iseempd to mo that I bad nothing to do but to aban
don at ouoe a cherished dreamt and ptobabiy to
renounco authorship; for I had not first made uji
my mind to write a history, and then oast about
,te take up a subjeot My subject had taken up
me, drawn me on, and absorbed me into itself. It
was necessary for me, it seemed, to write the book
I had been thinking much of—even if it were des*
tinod to fall dead from the press—and I had no
inclination or interest to write any other.”
The medlo&l students of Hew York, with a
promptness and . pluck that should command the
admiration of q brayo and enlightened, people,
have taken tbe 7first step in the
tramp that is about to take plaoe on the part of the
Boath, outof tho Union. Last evening about obe
hundred and fifty of them, preceded by a band of
musio,” (as the Hutchinson family sing it,) consist
ing of an ear-piercing fife and drum,
paraded down Broadway to the Breokinridge head
garter*, and tfiere commenced the work. This
was done in a series of spocohea strongly impreg
nated with sal nitre and charcoal, and breathing
tho true spirit of eloquence. One of the juvene
ficept orators suggested that (l It was tfieir flqty to
go at pnoe tp the rescue of- their section,” while
another, not seeing U exaotly in that light, sug
gested that* he would stay bore iuHewYotk, if
the hole of them left; he thought they had better
all slay and get their education, and go home with
diplomas, rather than with muskets.” The latter
was the ohaerful Maryland view of the subject,
andeeemod to make an impression; for friecon*
.
down iqto tho following pronanoiamlento :
“ tfesotyed t That we consider it oqr duty to re
turn to our homes aa soon as any of the Southern
States seoede.” *
The young men then formed line again, lit their
oignr? &Dd pipes, and msrohed uptownward to the
glorious aria of “The Qlrl I left behind m®-”
The Wide-Awakes aro determined to keep up
steam. Lost evening, some two hundred got to
gether and resolved that they would attend tho
inauguration of Lincoln; for that purpose, they
allowed they would all purchase new capes and
things, and send a thrill of astonishment through
the anatomy of the people at Washington. They
aro to go on per steamer.

Off river Polho, Gulf of Ptchilee,
China, August 1860.
Mr. Editor : We k&ve up for the
lest throe weeks, as lookers-on at the operations
of the allies against the Qhlncte- The alflus have
a fleet of over threo hqndred sail anchored near
us, and I hardly know the extent of their land
forces. X know this much, both tbo Chinese and
allies are as thiok as hlqokbirdg. Lord Elgin and
Baron Grqs aro hpre, ready to offer the olive
tbranoh as soon qs the Chinese get a good flogging.
The allios have already taken two forts, but tho
grand battlo is yot to oome off, two weeks henoe,
when the tides flow, end they o&n get at tho forts
at the mouth of the Peiha* where Admiral Hope
was repulsed a year ago. The English offioers tell
us that the Chinese are well fortified, have plenty
of guns, and eaoh fort surrounded by a ditoh
twelve foot wide And eight feet deep. When the
attack is made I fear the loss on both sides will
he dreadful. The strength of tho Chinese forces
is not knewn; some say, however, that it is three
hundred thpuiand. I do not believe It to bo so
groat;-yot, I have soon one ©noampment said to
oont&in forty thousand. The troops are prinoip&liy
oompoaedof Tartars.
The battle will be as groat as either Magenta
orSolferino. China is a groat country. There is
no romance in her. She 1h great in territory and
population, and her produotions are widely differ*
enfc from these of Europo or America. The man
ners and habits of hor people are anything but pre
possessing. Tho whole country resembles one vast
elty; and tbo outpouring of the inhabitants re
minds mo of ants emerging from thfi sand-hills.
The higher olaaaes,are ooqrteous and intelligent;
the middtejflaeses of the people are said to be in
genious ; but it seems to me there is some great de
ficiency whioh will forever prevent this fropi being
a great nation. The Chinese Empire ppntains
more than one-third of the population of the globe,
and they regarfl all otfler pqtiQns as interior.
They say they are the central, middlo, or the
great kingdom on earth, and that all others are
mere satellites, and the inhabitants of othor ooun
tries outside barbarians.
Taxation for Secession Purposes Re-

Last wiDter tho Alabama Legislature passed a
bill authorizing a tax of $200,000 to be raised to
defray tho expense of arming the Stato, and giv
ing tho Governor power to appoint two commls
stoners from eaoh oounty, with powor to determine
the course which the State should take in the event
of tho Lincoln election. The tax-gatherers of
Alabama are now collecting this tax from the poor
ahd rioh alike in that State ; and a portion of the
citizens of Madison county, Alabama, have assem
bled together, and solemnly resolved to resist its
oollootion. Hero aro their resolutions ;

Judge Magrath, Connor, Coloock, and Cunning

Judge Magrath said he hoped South Carolina
would not be in the van of her sister States. He
was not there to prove to them the right to secede.
He said she had the right to secede; the people

the right, then let them' prove it by taking the
right away 1 •

Milledgeylllb, Nov. 10.*—In the Legislature
on Friday, the resolution for the eleotion of a

that the time be fixed for Monday, the 12th fast.
Other days were proposed. ,
Mr. Harris, of oounty, favored the ear*

ferred, end when-elected he would fiatantly

required it. _
Mr. Oliver, of Heard oounty, favors the earliest

Mr. Jones, of Newton county, urged the great
est delay. He regarded the present as the time
for deliberation, and all the light that could be

might develop® important matters whioh oqgbt to

Mr. Spalding, of Molntosh county, favored a

In endorsing at so early a period Mr. Lincoln's
eleotion. There were other measures more im
portant, the convening a Stato Convention, and re
taliatory legislation claimed precedence Qf the
eleotion of a Senator.
Mr. Seward of Thomas county, favored a post
ponement. He was opposed to doing anything so
early, to indioate that Georgia intended to submit
to Mr. Lincoln’s eleotion.
]sr. Harris, of Worth county, inquired of Mr.
Seward .if he favored the secession orGeorgia?
Mr. Seward, after seme qbjeotion and interrup
tion, said that ho was in favor of secession, if Geor*
gla eo deeded in the State Convention. He thought
that Georgia would not he sustaining the other
Southern States by thus early indicating a willing
ness to submit to Mr. Lincoln’s eleotion. He oon*
sidered that tho safety of the South lay in aoting
as a unit.
Mr. Lawton, of Chatham oounty, favored the
utmost delay in the election of {Senator. ‘There
was no necessity for speedy aotion. as Georgia
would be represented in the Senate until the fourth
of March next. He agreed with. Mr. Seward that
so speedy an indication of snbmissal to the election
of Mr. Linooln would plaoe Georgia iu antagonism
to the siator States, as the news would speedily be
