XAtlti OF OAIIUSIiB A LORO BROUGHAM. There ire so few really loveable characters among tWEngliab nobility, (hat when I find one I feel (hat I ought lo give a sketch of it. , The Earl of Carlisle is such a character, worthy of renown and all honor. Bnoh a map, whether ho spring from a hovel or a Pals do, whellioV 'his name !>• pl*wu« «r-enveloped With high ( *oundThg titles, deserves to be held up lor admiration. Ahdjono thing I have remarked,-where you find such men, whatever their position,- they are nol proud., Believing in the dignity or the soul and manhood, they cannot bo proud of more titles, or ribbons and garters, or feathers. The Earl of Carlisle sits in the House of Lords, ■nd'ls well known as an advocate of Liberalism. Ifo was formerly (and. la bolter known by the name of) Lord Morpelh, until the death of his father, when ho became a peer of the realm through hereditary right. He belongs to one of the noblest families in the king* dom— that of the Howards, whose blood is perhaps considered the pureat in England. how Pop. alluda. lo “ .11 Iho blood or .11 111. How • j 'n jje is also connected by marriage with the ifbases of Rutland, Candor, Durham, and Stafford. Among the aristocracy, no one stands higher than (ho Earl of Carlisle, and at Iho same time ho is uni. versslly popular with tho middle and lower claaacs. Thera Is a generof love for him everywhere, on ao* count of his mild and philanthropic disposition. As matter of course, his advocacy of Liberalism makes him popular with the people. Ho is a friend of au tbori and artists, and in society shows not a pailjolo of that, odious exclusiveness which so many English aristocrats practice. Ho is above no • man of real goodness or genius, and In a hundred ways testifies his love of humanity. In a public speech he once spoke of Charles Dickens as “That bright and gonial nature, the master of our sunniest smiles and our most unselfish tears, whom it Is Impossible to retd without the most. roady and pliant sympathy, H is Impossible to know (I at least have found itso*) with out a depth of respect and a warmth of affection which a singular union of rare.qualities slihe com* He hse spoken lo terms of praise of all the noblest hearts In England, sad his sympathies are cast m no aristocratic mould. .. • , w , For many years he sal in Parliament for the West Riding, the most honrosblo and largest constituency In England; but in 1841. strangely, ho was defeated, and the whole nation mourned Iho defeat.

There are many there, became warm ad inirers of so simple and unaffected a man, at the South as well as North. In Washington circle* ho Will long bo remembered.

IL would prove n man vulgar, unless he had also consummate taste with his fondness for dress. W ben speaking, tho Earl docs not use much goalie. ulation,but what he does is graceful and natural. Since his return from America, In two or. three lectures, he har given to the world some of his opin ipns, on America and Americans, and they show his thorough liberality. Ho is far more just towards to. publicans and republicanism than Dickens, or almost any English Visitor. He speaks fairly of our volun taryism in religion;’of Henry Clay as eloquent and fascinating ;of the Cory yol noble bearing'of John Quincy Adams as truly an »• old man eloquent;" of Congress as rather disorderly at times; of tho South ern slaveholder os a mao of winning hospitality and generosity, but of slavery as a" sad evil which has plainly written its'effects upon land and people.— Through the whole ©flu's remarks on America, there fans a spirit of exceeding fairness, which English travellers in America, would do well to imitate. As a whole, tho Earl of.Carlisle is a man who reflects great honor upon himself and upon bis class; a man who would add reputation tq any class to which bo might belong. There ia not a man in the House of Lords for whom strangers enquire after with so much eagfer interest ha Lord Brougham. His fume is as wide as the spread of civilization, and the foreigner,' as he takes his seal in the Stranger's Gallery of tho House of Lords, is sure first to ask “Is Lord Brougham present 7" • Yqu aro disappointed (hough, when ho it pointed oultoyqu. , What! (hat slender, wriggling,scrawny old man, the great Brougham I Yea, verily. Thai man wllh a face on which eyes, nose, eye-brows, lips and cheeks seem all crowded together. That man who cannot ai( still five minutes together; who jumps U P. continually, is always saying something, has a painful, nervous Switching of the face; tho man who impresses you with tho Idea of some harmless lunatic. That tscerlainly the wreck of the once great Brough* am. lor we believe that none of his best friends con. lend that he now possesses all the powers that ho qpce possessed. Age hoe dimmed his faculties, and some of h!s enemies believe that he it partially insane.— Perhaps so; but 1 guess not. Ho is now an erratic man; incomprehensible, but a great genius yet. He is tho wonder of the nation; (hough the nation no longer loves him. However, for his wonderful, genius and his great services rendered at a critical time to the country, he will never bo forgotten. There was perhaps never a case in England where s more commoner had tho ambition for place like Brdugbam, and the courage accompanying it., The Movermnpni needed his services in the Cab inet,.and offered him a respectable post—as rcipccla. ble as U woqld bo proper Ip offer a plcbian, He replied to the offer of (he Prime Minister that ho would not touch the office, 1 KSTBKR. * What do yon want?” #as (ho question. “I will be Lford Chancellor,or nothing!" was plain farry Brougham’s reply. "But you are not a peer, and cannot sit In the louse ol Lords.'! " 1 have given you my reply." said Brougham, and In one day lie was made peer and Lord Chancellor, for the Government must bribe the great leader of the peoplsovcr to despotism, at however great a price. Only a few days before, at a great public meeting, he bad denied the rumor (hat he was to bo made a It,.and erer since then, Lord Broiirbim has been de. tested by the groat masses of lbs English nation. It would seem as If eversinep (hat disgraceful do sertion of the popular cause, that Brougham had lost some of his greatest powers; Since then he has been an erratic, peevith old'tnan, and yet at limes his wonderful genius teirt break forth and astonish the multitude. Perhaps this age has no other man who can boast of so many acquirements as Brougham.— He toot one of the greatest orator* of the world, u great lawyer,a severe student of tho physical sciences, and a skilful political economist. Ho was born in Scotland, was admitted (o tho Scottish bar In 1600. In 1620 ho was appointed At torney General to the unfortunateQueon Caroline, and made a speech which lasted two days, in her defence, so eloquent, so masterly, that Lord Liverpool abandoned the prosecution against Her Majesty.— The fact was, that although Caroline wai imprudent, in her conduct, yet-no one can doubt her virtue, and it was tho dcvclish disposition of her husband, (ho King, which set on foot all tho projects to crush her. For many years, Harry Brougham sal in (ho House of Commons. He was elected Lord Rector of Glas gow, by the casting vote of Sir James Macintosh; in opposition to Sir Waller Scott, (ho groat novelist and poet.

When just alter the revolution of ’4B he applied to the French-Government to bo made a cit izen of the Republic, and all the while a member of (he House of Lords, he set Europe in a roar oflangh ter—yet it waa only a sample of tho man. He seems positively insano.on some.points. His conductfrom day to day is strange.

Ho is a prodigy in law matters, and yol In tome divorce eases that have come before the House .of Lords, ho has con ducted himsolf in the coarsest manner, so qa to dis gust llic nation.

The boat example of (ho vitality of n fine saying, which has the advantage of being a fallacy, is in the ovorhaoknoyed piece of nonsense attributed to Archimedes—vis., “tliul he could move Iheeatth, if he had any place ala distance from it lo fir a prop.for his lever.” This is one of Iho standard il lusions, one of the necessary stock in trade, for all orators, poets, and newspaper writers, and persons, whenever they meet with it, tskb'Archimedes for an extraordinary great man, and cry, «• Lord how won* derful!” Now, if Archimedes had found hi* place, his prop and lover, and if .he could have moved with the swlflnosi of a cannon ball, 465 miles every hour, It would have taken him just 44,963,540*000,000 years to have raised .the earth one Inch!

S'iniing of theShip—Loesof Two Boats and Miracu lous Escape of the Crew. Wo have Just received the following thrilling ac. count of the destruction of (he whaleship Ann Alexander, Captain John 8; Deblois, ofNow Bedford, by a largo sperm whale, from the lips of tho Captain himself, , who arrived in. this city from Pcita, on Sunday last, in the schooner Providence, A similar circumstance has never been .known to occur but once in the whole history of whale-fishing, and that was the destruction of the ship Essex, some twenty or twonty-fivo years’ ago, and which many of our reader? fully remember. We, proceed to the narra tive as furnished us by Capt. Dcblois, and which is fully authenticated by nine of the crow In a protest under tho seal of tho U. S. Consul, Alex, tludcn, Jr., at Pcita. Tho ship Ann Alexander, Capl. S. Debloie, sailed from New Bedford, Maes., June Ist, 1850, for a, cruiso in (ho South, Pacific for sperm whale. Hav. ing taken about 500 barrels of oil in (ho Atlantic, the ship proceeded on her voyage to the Nothing of nnußual interest occurred until when passing Cope Horn, ono of tho men, named Jackson Walker, of Newport, N. H., was lost overboard in a storm. Reaching tho Pacific, sho enmo up the coast and stopped at Valdivia; Coast of Chili, for fresh provisions, and on tho 3lsl of March last sho called at Pcita,,for tho purpose of shipping a man. Tho vessel proceeded on her voyage to tho South Pacific. On tho SOth of August last, sho reached what is well known, to all whalors as tho Off-Shore Ground, in laL 5 deg. 50 min. South, lon. 102 deg. West. In the morning of that day, at about 9 o’clock, whales wero discovered In tho neighborhood, and. about noon, (he same day, they succeeded in making fast to ono. Two boats had gone after tho whales—tho larboard and'starboard, the former commanded by' (he first mate, and tho latter by Captain Doblois.— The whale which they hod struck, was harpooned by tho larboard boat. After running some lime, tho whale turned upon the boat, and rushing at it with tremendous violence, lifted open its enormous jaws, and taking the boat in, actually crushed it into frag, ments as small as a common sized chair! Captain Deblois Immediately pulled for tho scone of disaster with tho starboard boat, and succeeded, against all expectations, in rescuing tho whole of tho crew of the boat—nine in number I There wore now eighteen men in tho starboard boat, consisting of tho captain, the first male, and tho crew of both boats. The (rightful disaster had been witnessed from tho ship, and tho waist-boat was called into readiness and sent to their relief;— The distance from tho Ship was about six miles. As soon.as the walst.boat arrived,tho crows woro divided, and it was determioed tq.pursue tho same whale, and make another him;' Ac cordingly (hey separated,'at some distance -from each other, os is usual on suchi}eQSB]orii,.afteiHtho whale.-. In a short time (hey came up to him,'and prepared 4o give him battle. Tho wsiet.boafY'com manded by llio first'mate, was in advance.’. As soon s« (his whale perceived tho demonstration biing made upon him, he turned his course, suddenly, and ma. king a-tremendous dash at Ibis boat, seized It with his wide-spread jaws, and crushed it Into atoms, sllowinglho men barely time to escape his vengeance by throwing themselves into tho ocean. Cspt. Doblois, again seeing the perilous condition of his men, at the risk' of meeting tho same fate, boat, to hasten io.ttpiMW"*-.-Tvt.lr • death little less hotrlblo (ban (hat from which they had .twice ao narrowly escaped. Ho (lien ordered (be boat to put for tho ship as speedily as possible; and no. sooner had (ho order been given than they discovered tho monster of tho deep making toward them with his jaws widely extended. Fortunately the monster came up and passed them ,at a short distance. The boat then mado hor way to tho ship and they all got on board in safety. After reaching the ship a boat was despatched fur the oars of the demolished boat, and it wad dolor mined to pursue the whale with tho ship. As soon as the boat returned with the oars, sail was set, and the ship proceeded after tho whale. In a short time she overtook him and a Unco was thrown into his bead. The ship passed on by. him, and,immedi ately after they discovered that the whale was mi. king for the ship* As ho came up near her, they hauled to the wind, urid Buffered the monster to pass her. After he had ftirly passed they keptoffto overtake-ond attack him again.. When the ship hod reached within about fifty rode of him, they discovered that the whale had settled down deep below the surface of tho water, and as it was near suodown, they concluded to give up tho pursuit. Copt, Doblois was at this lime standing in (ho night hoods on (ho larboard bow, with craft in band, ready to strike (be monster .a deadly blow should ho appear, (he ship moving about five knots; when working on the side of' the ship, he'discovered the whale* rushing towards her at the rate of fifteen knola!. In an inetant , (As monster struck the thip with tremendous violence, shaking her from stem to etern! Sho quivered under the violence ofthe shock, as if she had struck upon a rook! Copt. Doblois immediately descended into tho forecastle, end there, to his horror, discovered that the monitor had struck the ship about two feet from the keel, abreast tho foremast, knocking a great hole entirely through hor bottom, through which the; water roared end rushed impetuously! -Springing to tho dock, ho or dered the male to cut away tho anchors ond got tho babies overboard, to keep tho ship from sinking, as •he had a large quantity of pig iron on board. In doing this,:lho mule succeeded in rolioving only ono anchor and cable clear, the other having been fasten ed around tho foremast. Tho ship was then sink ing rapidly. Tho Captain wont to tho cabin, wboro ha found three foot of water; ho', however, succeeded la procuring a chronometer, sextant and chart.— Reaching the decks, ho ordered the boats to bo eloared away, .and. to .get water and provisions, as the ship was keeling over. Ho again descended to the Cabin, but (he water was rushing In so rapidly that ho could procure nothing. 110 carao upon dock, ordered all hands Into tho boats, and was the last himaclf to loavo tho ship, which he did by throwing himself Into tho sea and swimming to tho nearest botill The ship was on hor bcam.onds, Iter top.gal lanl yards under water. Thpy then pushed off lomo distance from the ship, expecting hvr to sink in a very ehbrt lime. Upon examination of the stores (hey had bqen able to save, ho discovered that they had only twelvo quarts of water, and not a mouthful of provisions of any kind! Tho boats contained eleven men uaoh, were leaky, and night coming on; they wero obliged (o bail them all night to keep thorn from linking 1 ' Next day, at daylight, they returned (o (he ship, no one daring (o venture on board but the Captain, their Intention being to cut away tho masts, and fearful that tho moment tho masts were cut away Ilio iliip would go down.

He appears to have been a daring, undoubtedly a courageous officer of the old “blood) and thunder** school; but his sacrifice of the lives of his men and officers, was fearful. Mr. Do Haas maintains, as an unquestionable point ofhls. tory, that he fell by a shot from one of his own men. His memorsndas of tho event are striking: "In (he ranks' of.

As .the orange tree was not then common in Navarre, and as, more over, the hand by. which theso peeda had been confided to the earth Was not that of an ordinary gardener, the five y6ung trees became the object of particular care. They werb nut separated,hut were cultivated at Pampelona, than the capital of the kingdom of Navarre, until 1499. “At that epoch, Catharine, slater of Gaston .de Foiz, and wife of John 111., King of Navarre, sent as a present to Ann of Brittany, wife of tho King of France, Louis XII., a box containing five orqrigei trees, as a rare and precious object, at the same lima indicating, their origin* ♦ “That bo*» with its trees,,afterward became the properly of the Constable do Bourbon, who con veyed it to his chateau of Chantello, In Bourbon* nets, tho chateau from which he marched into lta ly.in 1693, to take up arras against Franco.
