ob oquy that rests upjo tbe Toiirfs of the Revv

Entrusted wlih power, it wielded it (or the dis
memberment of the Republic. Conttded iu by its
devotees as the guurdiaucf liberty, it exerted
all Its energies for tbe perpetuity of human
bondage. Proleonini; reverence for free ppcech

Appointments.
William McQuitken has been appointed
traujier in tbe Second district, Pennsylvania, and
William H. Abel, Third Pennsylvania district,
storekeeper.
The Navy Department.
The Navy Department has ordered Lieutenant-Commander
Davis to the receiving ship
Ohio, and Eueigu Woranta to the command of
the Hose.
Commander Shirley has been detached from
command of the Pensacola, ana placed ou wait
ing orders.
The Overland mail.
The Post-Offlce Department is embarrassed
about the conveyance cf the mails beiweeu the
termini of the PaclUc Railroad. Tne telegraphic
correspondence shows that tirigham Young is
willing to undertake it, to be paid a certain sum
for a specified amount of matter and pro rata
for all over it.
Post-Oflice Agent Clampitt tolegraphs from
Salt Lake City tht Wells, Faro & Co. are the
only paities who can purfoim the service, but
they are impatient for an immediate dednlte
airangement on their own terms. Others have
communicated with the Department, but their
despatches afford no ground to hope for relief.
Jt will be recollected that Congress repealed so
much, of the post-office laws as confined the
overland mail to letter postage. This having
ueefi done af er proposals had been issued and
Spatd's bid accepted, he declined to enter upon
tbe work.
By this repeal the bulk of mail matter was
io largely increased ao to require lacilities
additional (o those heretofore employed. It is
now too late in tbe season to advertise for new
proposals, and besides, there are no appearances
orieaton to believe that there would be any
spirited competition lor tbe award, lor tne
service would only be coniiuued tor about a
year, when the railroad will bd finished. A lie
contractor would have to stock the road,
requiring a very large outlay of money, and
necesaiily have to build stations, to be
abandoned, one by one, as the building of the
railroad progresses. Instead ol having time to
prepare for the sustenance of his stork, he
would now be compelled to pay higher prices
icr forage during the winter mouths.
The entire amount of money appropriated by
Congress for tbe Pacific mail und overland ser
vice U not enough lor even two-thirds of the
expenses of the coming year. Ilad not the
Post Office law been amended in the manner
above stated, there would be but compaiatively
little difficulty in tiansport bar the overland
mail, the matter heretofore conveyed having
been not one-cjhth as much a now, under the
firesent law. The mail ma't'-r is constantly
Dcreaslng, and may assume such, bulk as
lencusly to interture with th efforts of the De
partment to cfl'ect an arraujeuieut. It would,
probably, require eleven or twelve bun Ired
thousand dollars to secure ine teiviee with
Wells. Fargo & Co. until Iho co.nulution of the
railroad. The Po-tmastet-Getieral has mide a
teniDorary arrangement with the firm, but it is
not known how b'n? this w.U continue, Mean
time be is con.'l lering whatt: best to be douo
under the cmbarranbing circumstances.

"Mr. Charles Knight has Juit published In
London the continuation ot the "Half Hours
with the Best Lftter-Wnters and Aatobiogra
phers," of which the Examiner lajs:
"The editor has been fortunate enough to
obtain peimt.-slon to give some interesting letters
of Robert Bouthey and George Cauning, hitherto
unpublished, and which here appear in print for
the f. rst time. This is a great innovation on the
original plan oi the work, which, however,
leaders will no doubt heartily welcome, as
conferring upon It a vastly increased value.
Mr. Knlghl has not confln.nl himself entirely to
quotation, but tnternperscs fbe letters which
make up the bulk of the volume by frequent
and opportune remarks, throwing a consider.. ble
light upon the topics discussed there n. Thus,
in the chapter devoted to the poet Cowper, the
editor remarks:
COWPEB.
"There bns probably never been written a
piece of autobiography so melancholy as Cow
per's narrative of bis own mental Bufferings;
whilst lew le tois are more replete than bis with
playful vivacity, or display a mote healthful
interest in external thiugs. The great charm of
these letters beyond the cbnriu of their second
sense and grateful style-consists in the vivid
picture they offer to us of the writer's daily life,
and every change of thought and feeling. There
is nothing assumed. We leel that the words are
the very reflection of the mind that formed
them. As we read, the quiet conple In the'r
iifjly house at Olney, or in their pleasauter abode
at WestoD, 'become our personal friends; and we
experience as much Interest In the fit of tbe
new pei Wig, and as much triumph in the
achievements of 'Beau,' as if this were still tne
age ot periwigs, and as if the most sagacious of
spaniels had not lived and died in the last cen
tury. Co per himself has said of his letters:
" '1 can compare tnis mind ot mine to nothing
that resembles it more than to a board that is
under ihe carpenter's plane (I mean while I am
writ ng to you), the shavings are my uppermost
thoughts; after a few strokes of the tool, it ac
quires a new surface; this again, upon a repeti
tion of his task, he takes off, and a new surface
still succeeds: whether the shavings of the pre
sent day will be worth your acceptance I know
not; 1 nm unlortunately made neither of cedar
nor of mahogany, but lruncvs ficu'nua, inutile
lignum; consequently, though I should be planed
Hit i aai as miu as a waier, u win oe out ruooisn
to the last."'
lettub from gibbon.
The following letter from Gibbon to Lorl
Sheffield will explain itself:
"J uly 10th, 1783. At the end of the Parlia
ment, or rather long before that time ( for their
lives are not worth tt year's purchase), ojr
mimsteis are kicked down stairs, and I am left,
their disinterested friend, to fight thraugh
another opposition, and to expect the fruits of
another revolution. But I will take a more
lavorable supposition, and cmceive myself in
six months firmly seated at the Board of Cus
toms; before the end of the next six months I
should infallibly bang myself. Instead of
regretting my disappointment, I rejoice In my
escape; a 1 atu ea'isfied that nosalary couldp ly
me lor the irksonieness of atteudance and the
drudpery of busiuebs so rVpuenant to my taste
(and 1 will dare to say) so unworthy of my
character. Without looking forwurd to the pos
sibility, still more remote, of exchanging that
laborious onice lor a smaller annuity, there is
surely another plan, more reasonable, more sim
ple, and more pleasant a temporary retreat to
a quiet and less expensive scene. In a four
years' residence at Lausanne, I should live
witbin my Income save, and even accumulate,
my ready money finish my History, an object
of profit as well as of fame-expect the contin
gencies of elderly lives and return to England
at the age of tilty, to lorm a lasting independent
establishment, without courting the smiles of a
minister oj apprehending the downfall of a
party."
SOUTHEY.
The chapters containing the unpublished let
ters of Robert 6outhey and George Canning will
attiact many readers, especially as they contain
much valuable matter, and many reierences to
the prominent men and topics of the period.
The following extracts from these letters of
Kouthey are f articularly interesting:
"Coleridge's Ode, for which you inquire, is
printed in a quarto eighteen-pennyworih of his
poems by Johnson, for which you must inquire
by tho title of 'Fears in Solitude;' but I have the
pamphlet at Button and the ode is of so little
value thut Coleridge has requested me to re
print the other poems there, in the 'Anthology,'
und let that die and be forgotten, according'to
its deserts."
"Will you help forward a charitable work
and assist the subscription for Cbatteiton? I
enclose a few of the prospectuses as briefs. We
have about two hundred names, and weougnt
to have one thousand, and I shall bave, with a
little exertion on the part of our fricudd."
CANNING.
A letter from George Canulng, when at Eton,
defcrihes his boyiwh hopes and lean and hia
college exeicises, shows his determination to
make himself a thorough master of the classics,
and relates his first attempt at puolie speaking.
Canning is writing to Mr. II. J. Richmond, of
C. C. C. Oxford:
"My Dear Sir: After having keot so long a
silence, I scarce know how to begin to address
you again, as I fear you must be and are justly
offended with me; but do not, I beg of you,
ascribe my silence to any want of affection and
gratitude to you, which, believe me, my deareot
sir, I do and ever bhull entertain for you in the
highest degree. To what then, y ou w ill say, can
it be ascribed but iudolence? Not to that only,
indeed; that that must have been the primary
cause I cannot deny; but when oneel had de
lajed writing to you for a month a sort ot
shame withheld me, and the tense of my fault
kept me from making the only reparation for
it. Many times have I resolved to write,
and as often, by recollecting how long 1
had neglected it, I was deterred, and knew
Dot how to set about it. I am now resolved
to write to beg your forgiveness for my
patt remissness, and most faithfully to assure
jou I will in future be regular and punctual in
my correspondence; that I may not, however,
turn my whole letter into an apology, I will
change tbe subject aud speak to you as if my
pardon were already sealed. I am now. my
dear sir, at the lop of Eton School I am the
fiist of tbe Gppidants (Commoners you call
thrm) I was to have been put on the founda
tion: but I did i-o much dislike the idea, and so
evidently taw 'the griat difference of behavior
and respect paid to tbe one situation in pre
fen nie to the other, that I prevailed on my
uncle (being aided by the advice of Mr, Fox
and Mr. Sheridan, who gave their opinions in
my favor) to give up the idea. Hear some ot
my reasons, and judge. A Colleger stays .at
Kton till nineteen. Then if a vacaucy falls out at
"King's Co liege, C am bridge, while he is first iu the
t-ctiocl, he is translated tbitner, and enjoys an
advantage of, upon an average lrom first to last,
about ii 60 per abnum till he dies or marries.
When a man goes into the Church, the advan
tage is greater, as he may chauce by very good
luck to get a living. Three ate the advantages.
The contrary is, a Colleger rises much slower lu
the school, and is cum quently much lateral
the top. He slays till nineteen, an Oppldant
till feventeeu. Two years, or a year even, to a
roan whose lino Is the bar, is surely an object.
A Colleger may after ad not go to King's if a
vacancy does not (a I. Where, then, is the
advhutage t A Colleger, among the boys even,
is not looked upon in near so respectable a light
as an Oppidant. This was one of my principal
leasons lor my dislike I gained my point, and
have been some time in the sixth (ttie head)
loan. We have many sp eebe here I have
spoktn-Clcero In Catttlinam video P. C. in

are some very oratorical parts: I mean
( bough my expression does not. I believe,
convey my meaning) parts very pleasant
1o speak as-fcelng very fine turns, e'o. ; and at
elec ion the time when the greatest exhibition
is, and when there is a vast deal of compnny -I
spoke Satan to the Sun. Stiall I oym to you, my
drar sir, I bave,, not, I fear, b"en for the l ist
twelve mon'hs or more so diligen', as 1 inlglit
time to the best advantage: but T hive another
year beiore me ere ( leave liton I will applv
mypelf dlllgentlv to the study of the clasl.s
the Greek as well as Latin. Do not think this
a foolish resolution of a moment; I see the
neensity of it, if I mean ever to be a master of
the classics, which I thoroughly purpose. Write
to me, my dearest sir, and give mn a list of those
whieh you wish me more Immediately to study !
chalk out a Rue of study believe me I will
diligently pursue it. You see, sir, I make bold
to ask of you as a friend. Such I have ever
found you, my dear sir; and for your many
kindnesses shown to me, believe me I entertain
the greatest gratitude, and am most ailectlon
ately and gratefully yours.
