Sala on American Matters. The Pickwick Papers are_ more readable and amusing than Whateley's Logic—es pecially after the introduction,- in the eleventh- chapter, of Sam Weller, in his original capacity of " Boots" at the old inn in- the Borough, where Mr. Alfred Jingle relinquishes the spinster aunt, in conside ration of a sum of money down. The" "White Hart" inn, in the story, really is " The Tabard," in the borough of South wark, (on the Surrey side of, London;) whence Chaucer has made ' his Pil grims start en f , oute for :Canterbury an ancient hostelrie, which was not pulled down twenty years ago; though we re- member hearing that it has latterly fallen before the fatal pickaxe called , Modern Im provement. As we have mentioned. Sam Weller; we may add that his introduction, rather late in the story, is said to lave been a second, thought, and that while,_" - Piak wick" was yet unfinished the Countess of Jersey, then a famous leaderpf-lasVon In London,gare a grand bill" iii the raiitile Of "the season," in honor of blekens, and on each card - of 'lnvitation was en graved: " You are not expected to attend unless you will admit - that Sam Weller is a gentleman." As we were saying, before; we rambled off the subject, one of Dickens' novels - is pleasanter reading than Archbishop-Whate ley's Logic, which may lie very true, but also is very dry. So, *Ts. Trollope's book on America, is more amusing than her son's, and, on the same principle of extra vagant fiction keeping the attention more " wide awake " than plain fact, Mr. Sala's. American letters in the London Daily Yele,giaph make, us smile' twenty ,:times oftener than did those of- Dr. Russell in The Times. In fact, Dr. Russell;lhough an Irishman, has little sense of theludi crous, whereas Mr. Sala's letters are full of fun—much of it unconsciously so, because his readers have to laugh at much oftener than with, him. , - • There are wags whose delight is in the treble art of cramming.. They get hold of a greenhorn and stuff him with extraordi nary bits if information, confidentially communicated, ;which he swallows, in a voracious manner, and retails, whenhe has the opportunity, with additions and vans,. tions of his own. Mr..Bala, ever since his arrival in this.country, has been subject to the influence of such persons: - They ima gine facts and invent anecdOtes fel. him; and he rehashes them up for his readers in England. For example, writing from New York, and seeing things tlunugh iheir smoke-tinted spectacles, he is found Seriously speculating; and at"` some length, on the future of the lJnited.States, and prophecying thus " The tinie must come, however far distant it may seem 'to in, when war will be felt in this glittering and frivolous city. There must come a day when the guest shall open the furbeloWed napkin at Delmonico's, and find,, not • a• loaf of bread, but a piece of a skull inside 'of it. There must come a day when the flask of Burgundy shall be uncorked, and a musty - ', stir - ff that shall have the salt taste and amid smell of Wed be - poured out. •There must come a day when the embers shall.be.cold on the hearth, and Of. - he dainty house in Fifth 'avenue •. I - ng :One shallle 'taken and, the other ,left, when the wheel shall be broken at the cistern; when -the' cry of the widosi and the fatherless shall be at last heard,. and the people of theme States shall at last awaken - to a sense of the co lossal wickedness of war, and cast it away front' them as a shame and a curse. It will be fortunate in those days for those who have made.the War, and fattened on it, and grown sleek and shiny on it, like the ob scene buzzards of . Vera Cruz;, or the car rion crows of. the Rappahannock, if they escape being strung•up to the lamp posts. There was a Pensionary once whose name was De Witt. There was a Minister once whose name was Sejanus. There was an unjust judge once called jefferies." This certainly drives Lord Macaulay's famous New Zealander into a, very small and in convenient corner. His personal anecdotes, however, still more fully display his crednfity. He oils us " When Mr. Lincoln was informed that the Rev. Cheever, at the Meeting at Fre mont Hall, had called him.a cancer,' and that some other Reemerges had spoken of him as Herod, he . s said to have remark ed `Herod l why didn't he call me 'a hernia:? The rupture between old friends would then. have been complete:';" In a letter on the Fourth of July, he says " I have heard of an, old gentleman at Wash ington who spends the entire Fourth -of July on his doorstep. . He sits on a rocking chair, between two braes cannons, which he- continually discharges in honor of the day, his negro boy bringing him arenstud- Bon - and helping him to lead. -Between every -three or four round's or se lie refreshes himself with a cock-tail ; and this Merry pastime goes on Instil the cannon become red hot, or the old gentleman gets !tight,' when -he is carried to bed and the guns are dragged to • the stable." - This is " capped," however, by an anecdote of Western life, which, no doubt, when read by John Bull in - his cockney villa, ere he puts himself - into the matutinal omni bus for transportation and - delivery ".The City," . will excite his gratitude that his manners ,do not resemble those of -" them savages `abroad,"` as he doubtless considers us: Mr: - Sala says, ." A, Western ; gentleman told. me not long since.* story - / amusingly illustrative r of the - dcluble-beddednesi. A. very, dirty , :e4 greasy, foreigner, with a beard that Jain the• Apostate •might -have, envied, so lon,g arid lively-looking was it,, arrived al an hotel at; Detroit, entered :his name on the hooka as Ivan Somethingoff, hailing from ,Petersburg, and demanded sleeping ire commodation.. The hotel was full, and the Xtiscovite looked so Very uncleanly and wore a skeepskiteliase of so very - loud an odor, that . the nests unanimously and dignexitly refusedto have him.billeted upon them. The hotel clerk, not wishing to lose a customer, was in despair, when= a tall; bony Weitern man stepped forward,; dished his Bat on the. counter, and ex, claimed : " H.--- I it's risky, I s 'know; but. P 11 try him. I never, room' with, it Dooshian before, and Pci like to ham t4esn atript.' remukable instance this of .the pursuit of know edge under difficulties, and the American characteristic of "wantieg.to know." • . . • The delicacy and the probability of this chaririing tale are equal. Of course, Mr. Sala has only a very distinct idea of our politics and,our politi cal institutions. Land an. A.mericim , ip London, and, in three months, he wilt urr d - erstand the minutice .of the English syi tem not only as well as, but infinitely more correctly than, nineteen out of twenty aveTNe .r.mglisinnen. Place a BritiSh jectvinfliew York, let himzemain there all tine T ara his days, let him mix finely in political society, let him read the leading nrw sp4pers, let him even write in.thern; and he will die without knowing whatourpoliti _ cal system:is, and how it is worked by party: But Mr. Bala exceeds his countrymen, in this "ignorauss:,,Visn.he writes : "Talk : of peace to Mt. , Seward, and he will touch a little bell,' and send you to Fort Lafay ette. Venture, to suggest peace to Mr. StantOn; W he will bullY YOU 411 Le grows black - in the face. Point out a pas sage in the New Testament which bears on peace to the Rev, Dr. Cheever, and he will call you a cancer l' Preach peace to the Rev. Ward Beecher,"and he will curse you from the crown of your head to the sole of your foot. Endeavor to make the Bostonians listen to the doctrines of peace, and they will regret that the law's of the State no longer warrant them in scourging you or setting you in the stocks. Counsel. peace to the Evening Poet, and its conduc tors will fling a shovel of mud at you." Perhaps this is only meant to be . whatis called smart writing ? If so, Mrs - Sala's wit is of the deadly lively genus. • Now and then, it is true, he has a glinipse, of the fact. Having been present, he says, at a- grand " Pow-Wow " at Tammany Hall, on the Fourth of July, Mr Sala says : " To give you some faint ideit - of *hit the society of St. Tammany is,~ or rather was, endeavor to combine a notion of the' Reform Club, the 'Union Debating ,§ociety at Cam bridge, Lodge number anything of the Manchester Union of Odd Fellows, and the Society of . Cogers, Tararnany* Hall used: to be a place not only for speechi fying, for spread-eagleism, and for baiting the British Lion :.not only the—Hall of Debate for a numerous and powerful political party, but also a place where the most elabOrate organizations were developed,, and the meshes of the most complicated intrigues Perfected. At Tam many. Rail, Presidents, Ministers, Con gressmen, foreign ambassadors, consuls, tax collectors,- and -postmasters have' been made - and unmade. Tammany his in, its time been a tyrant ; Tammany has in its, time revelled in, the unclean drippings of patronage ; and in Tainmany Halt there probably has been fostered and carried out as monstrous a system of venality and cor ruption as ever was known in this wicked werld--venality at which Robert 'Walpole would haye rubbed his hands ; corruption that.would have rejoiced the souls of Sid mouth and Castlereagh, and the rest of the borouglx-mongers." Again, in describing the Peace Confe rence at Niagara, Mr. Sala having named the Secessionists (Clay, Holcombe, and Thompson), adds i " Corypineus of this curious trio is Mr. George N. Sanders, of nowhere in particular, but some time United States consul in England, and who has peen for years notorious as a professional •poli tician, convention organizer, and lobbyer and log-roller generally—in fine:, what is known on this side of the Atlantic as an adventurer. But.there is a fifth wheel to the coach. Pardon the confusion of meta phors. About the skirts of the party hovers a kind . of Ariel, :or-" delicate sprite," or. Puck, or hobgoblin, in the person of Mr. W. Cornell ,Tewett, better known'as Colo rado Jewett, a person witheurthe slightest claim,, either through pOsition; character, or, ability, to represent own 'personal vanity and self-importance. By dint of these qualities, and a native and unblushing impudence, Mr. Jewett has contrived, during the past eighteen months, to get his name frequently into print, both here and in the .01d World. • He has been wandering over Europe, - wriggling himself into audiences with foreign cove- - reigns, some of whom were credulous, and mistook him for an important:personage, others of whom were astute, and estimated him at his proper value." Against these two theßohemian appears to have a spe cial spite; for he subsequently says, "Mr. George N. Sanders is thenlerest of politi cal aiseurs and Mr. 'COloras fareitlPeofielriturope Adhecomethe laughing stock of the whole of America." The Fourth. of July, which Mr. Sala passed in New York, did not please him. That celebration, he tells us, " has come to mean this : simply crackers..
