The ' happy domesticity of Leslie's character infused all his beetwork. He never succeeded when be attempted to sing . much 'abpVe or much below the easy , silver tenth** which his voice waa pitched by nature. And the simple common sense which belongs to such a spirit soon taught him what a cotdd 'do s and what he had beat leave unattempted. Th e large picture in our Academy, the Murder of Rutland, can hardly be Called his own *fork— it la the work of the lec tures of West; the sarcasms of Fasell„ the blundering brutalities of Sir William Beechey, the Shakespearian magalloquences of, Kemble,--it is the work of an atmosphere, a prepoiamaion, a controlling local Influence. It is 'a useful but 'a humbling poi session for any academy, for it hangs there in judgment, showing how the acadenile spirit,ini posed as an authority, on a growing genlua, may for a time , distort all his natural forces, and coms r>el him to be a prig. The picture is Leslie% point of departure for a better path. It seems to have taught him what to forsake. Ills next com position was Sir Roger de Coverley, and from thence be branched gracefally and brilliantly in to the line of sweet old comedy, which for the rest of his life ho made his own. Leslie painted no more strictly "gallery pictures." His sunny sociability.. works hang in e wealthy homes of England; and -t ay rmst-ashoreeslice-thatifte • stage an inspire on , of gentleness, pleasantness and cul sociability. He painted in his house, sur ounded by his children, whom, how ever, from tim to -• time, he would attack as "Trudies" ( rudens), and bundle them9l3 Or e painfiri -resent; " ' The first reminiscence we nave or represents him as -a boy aflome, learning to combine the artistic with the domes tic exestence; it is fkom`the lips of . Mr. Knight, father of D. R. Knight, the painter, , who recoi least seeing the boy Leslie studiously copying from casts at his father's then . residence .on the Schuylkill. Mr. Robert Leslie, a prosperous clock-maker, had at that epoch considered him self justified in a semewhat ambitions style of living, and had moved to • a handsome double house and four-acre lot adjoining the estate of Sedgely on the - south; this most elegant of the many henies of the painter was not long in the possession- . of the family, the father being compelled by embarrasaments to give it up, but the tone of elegance imparted by its unusual gentility—Re carved Italian mantels, its three parlors or conversation-rooms, and a whole apparatus of comfort that was luxury at the day,—may have been useful in refining the taste for 'genteel comedy which belonged to his whole life. This dwelling is now absorbed is Fair mount Park, and destroyed; the road which was the common avenue for ft and the Sagely man sion, exists still, being embodied in the road system of the Park; and the square of trees which defined the foursacre plot and,followed its hand some railings may still be traced. This property once again became the shelter of Art, before its final destruction; in 1831 it was the res idence of John Sartain, the engraver. We have lingered disgracefully over what we had to say of Leslie. The fact is, there is afiocia billty, we may say a loquacity, in the nature of the man and his work, that makes one dilatory in taking leave. Wherever he went he estab lished a home-feeling. It is surprising of how - many of his compositions a table is the centre. The shelter of the mahogony kindly covers his whole system of life and art. His conversation was simple and delightful. His writings are models of table-talk.! His easy correspon dence with Miss Leslie is most brotherly, most racy. First Sally, then Allston,lrving,Morse and a host of lesser.men, met him, then felt some ex quisite charm, and became his brothers; they lived with him, went to him in their troubles expanded their souls in the warmth of that simple good-heartedness. When the intellect of Allston temporarily failed him on the death of his wife, he fled to Leslie's residence, in Fitzroy Square, and buried himself in that kind asylum -My dear boy," writes Irving tohim. from Paris "it is a grievous thing to be separated from you, and I feel it more and more." "He worked very steadily and cheerfully," says George Leslie, his son, "keeping up a sort of whistling at times, which I think he was unconscious of. He had a very pretty habit of going into the garden before boeakfast, and picking either a honeysuckle or a rose." "A happy, peaceful, successful and honored life," weightily says his editor, Mr. Tom Taylor. :'lrving's admiration of Leslie," says Dunlap, the American Vasari, "both as amen and an artist, is extreme;" and adds on his own account, that he possessed "a cultivated mind, purity of moral character, refined taste, and indefatigable study." .e venera e zu ly still feels hie separation from the_ brightest and most loveable of hls pupils as a personal loss. The most affectionate correspondence, and interchange of art-treasures, continued between them antil separated by his death. This took place in 1859.

'To begin with this country, the prorogation of Parliament has been the cause of an 'nouns' dullneei; in official circles, but we have every reason to rejoice at the new law, Which provides for, thistrict punish ment of all frauds committed at , elections. It is as toilildng how much bribery had Wen practiced for obtaining a seat in Parliament,and the conse quence of it was that none. but the , very richest were able, to become candidates with a ;fain show of success. The above men tioned Reform bill cannot fail to exer clew a wholesome - influenee - ovefthe - United Kingdom ; and it is itsource of satisfaction -- to every well-meaning Englishman to know that Parliament has thus enabled every intelligent patriot to compete with the most aristocratic and wealthy of Queen. Vlbtoria's subjects in ob taining a Beat in the Legislature of the country. As for'our relations with the Continental Powers they are of a friendly character, although it must be confessed that a feeling of jealousy against Russia makes itself perceptible, lees per ha sin offfelatelrelesthansm crab , .

With the steady advance of the Russian orecylirtXttral Asia; and - the recen capture of =.l Elarearc.as - Gfeat was in imminent danger of losing her prestige in Asia, but for the timely 'victory of General Napier over King Theodorus in the northeast corner of Africa. The government at St. Petersburg Meanwhile is apparently anxious to make the Bokhara affair appear as insignificant as possible, and one of its principal organs has but lately assured the world in a series of editorials that Russia is far from wishing any further conquests; that the capture of Bokhara was never intended, and was merely effected in consequence of provocation on the part of the native tribes ; that Russia WAS anxi ous to be at peace with the Western powers, not lees than with the nations of the East, etc., The said organ was indeed sincere, _when It asserted the latter point, for the well-known policy of Russia, to' be on: good terms with the Eastern tribes, in order to be all the surer of them In case of a coming struggle, England pursues an entirely, different policy, for the Government in India demands • from the na tive princes and their subjects unconditional sub mlsaion to Britiah rule, thereby keeping them in awe of British power, it is true, but at the same time creating a feeling among the Orientals not calculated to serve their cause, if another in surrection should break out in the Indian Etn- • ' pire. Russia has been unsucPeßsful in her late intrigues in Southeastern Europe, where she had vainly endeavored to , kindle the flame of war against Turkey, in order to take temporary possession of some part' of the &Allan's territory, while the latter would be engaged with the suppression of the Cretan in surrection and held at bay by the Greeks. This attempt has proved abortive, and the Oriental question is again at rest, perhaps for six, months or a year to come, but Russia has not lost her time, and has amply indemnified herself for the failure of her plans by her conquests in Asia. Russia has likewise concluded another profitable transaction by the sale of her American colonies to the United States. It is believed here that the latter may possibly turn this acqtdsition to good account, and the friends of the American nation hope that they will ; but it is likewise known that her American posses sions have cost to-Russia more than they were worth, and that no profit has ever been derived by that Power from the said colonies. Your Secretary of State is, without contradiction, a Amer man, and may sometimes see further, than others do, but the British public is somewhat skeptical as to the success of the '° real estate spe culation" of Mr. Seward in the icebergs of the North Pole. The United States in a French Court— Opening Private Letters. A Paris correspondent of the Tribune writes: The case of, the United States, represented by President Johnson, yens Arman, was decided against the plaintiffiwith costs. In the cross action Arman obtains damages. The judgment of the court is rather a queer piece of reading; thus it lays down the law: "That nothing in the con tract goes to show that the order of the steamers was from the C. S. A. Gov ent: that the do cuments which demonstrate th fact, having been abstracted from (probably Von . 's desk, with his connivance) their primary osaessors by a dishonest employ 6, cannot be ' admitted as the basis of ' an action." Well, that is good morality. The usual annual attempt on the part of opposition members of the Corps Legielatif, to obtain guarantees for the safety of private correspondence carried on through the post. office, was, as usual, - resisted by 'Govern ment, and defeated three days precedhig the de livery of the decision In the • case of Andrew Johnson agt.

Armen, as a member of the majority,--voling of - course - to preserve - to government officials their privilege of breaking seals and reading letters, on the ground that it is one of the needful means for obtaining evidence that is requisite to the pure administration ofjus tice.

It is for them, through their free.

That something of_ the sort is in the mind; that Switzerland does not hanker after such union; that the "plan," be,ginning with merely a customs-union, looks to deeper politi cal arrangement, and is yeally.an adaptation of the policy set forth and enforced by Thiers in his great speech on foreign affairs of the other year. To all those and more "thats,'.' goes fairly con jectural likelihood, but no trustworthy definite fact can, as yet, be got at. - - • - • , Religious Bigotry In England. -- Me - London - Telegraph sayrit is - dthlailfth re alize the depth of email cruelty, folly, and blind ness, that, throughout . the length and• breadth . of . • ill , • S.: nt . i . eaSairtali i . poo 1 a 0 r t, Popish - Children in workhouses and gaols th no of Bt.

Spain is the only European country that equals England in .re ligions b4otry carried into political affahn. A Roman Catholic has hardly a chance at the hus tings, though Protestants are often enthusiasti cally elected by Irish Catholic constituencies tinder the lead of their priests. The best and vvisest statesman in England would have no chance of being Premier if he were born a Roman Catholic or if he embraced that creed. 'Yet, in Catholic Austria, the Prime Minister to-day is a Protestant. Catholic Fiance has had Protestant Prime Ministers. Catholic Belgium .has had a Protestant King. In the Catholic part of Canada Protestants have been leading men. The Perils of Piety in ...Seine. An . Bnglish correaramdent in Rome writes :--- "Rugnab tourists had 'lbetter be at:re/al. how_ they visit the Church of- Bt. Agostino. The other day the devotees there were seized with the impression that ' twO - strangers who were on their knees before the Image of the Ma donna were thieves, and,were seeking, under the cover of prayers,to despoil the shrine. Instantly there was a rush on the inter lopers, and they were so roughly handled that they gladly gave themselves up to the gendarmes, whom the disturbance brought to the spot. But the gendarmes proved more unmerciful than the fanatics • for the two captives were no sooner brought to prison than they were, out AY: ..1 Linn 813/40CW4140-SUCII-&-ertle flogging that they became insensible.

Russian Diode of Procuring Itain. The Telegraf, of Kieff, says that the peasants of a neighboring district had recourse the , other day to a singular mode of procuring rain. They dug the coffin of a member of the sect of Old-Be lievers, who had died last December; out of the churchyard, after which one of them opened the coffin, and raising the corpse struck it , on the head, saying, "Give us rain." At the same time several`other peasants poured water on the body; it was then replaced in the coffin, and - buried again in its old place in the churchyard. In other parts of Russia the peasantry believe that a drought is caused by witches keeping the rain in tuba, and this superstition has proved fatal to many old women who were believed to be witches. Another mode of bringing rain is for a number of women to drag an empty cask to the nearest river, and after Riling it to return with it to the village. This plan is believed to be,infnilible. In Bervia it is the custom during a drought for an "exorciser" (perporuza). to go from village to v il lage with a green , bough in his hand, with-ivhich.he exorcises bad spirits. He is usually accompanied by one or more girls, who sing in chorus while he performs the cere mony. In. Wallachia there is a superstition that witches havewer over the weather only on Timed aye, and Fridays. Thellobe!. Spirit. In the course of *speech made before the Cork vention of rebel Gonertdsin session-this week at Brownsville, Tentiessee, Gen. Forrest, the Fort Pillow butcher, said: Before he went to the New York Convention be bad been warned that the Fort Pillow massa cre would be thrown up to him, but four out of every five men whom he met made excuses for the part they had taken in supporting the Union side, and it would not be long until a majority of the Northern people would acknowledge that the South was right m the rebellion and the North wrong.l Speaking of the threatened revolution, he said: "If this conflict comes, I have no powder to burn at the blacks while I can find a white radi cal to shoot at. Tremendous applause.] I would aid any Sheriff to serve any legal process, but I say to the Ku-klux, if any conflict is forced upon yon, kill every white radicaL The time Is coming when we wilt have to do it, and the sooner it is done the better, if they are going on to encourage this thing. I don't want to incite vog to war, but I want to see that we are ready for it." He would force every man to take one side or the other. He said he wanted the Conven tion "to let the Legislature know what we intend to do if they call out the militia." He conjured the blacks to have nothing to do with white Radicals, as Southern people could not be their friends it they belonged to Loyal Leagues. Gen. Forrest conjured the ex-rebel soldiers to pledge themselves to stand by what the rebel generals have done. Seymour's Next Speech to a n.olb. The Detroit Post says after Seymour gets into the White House (if he ever gots there), ana the Southern Democrats, led by Wade Hampton, "the butcher " Forrest, Admiral Semmes, Beau regard and Wise, have risen in insurrection and "dispersed the carpet-bag State governments," they may make a sudden rush on Washington, to seize the Capitol, "compel the Senate to submit," and declare Southern independence. President Seymour will then address them, from the steps of the Capitol, as follows: "My Fru:tams—l have come over here from the quiet of the White House to see what was the difficulty—to learn what the trouble was con cerning the Government. Let me assure you that lam your friend. f Uproarious rebel yells, led by Wade Hampton.] You have been my friends, 'cries from Forrest's butchers, "Yes, that's so,"] and - low f assure you, my fellow Democrats, that I am here to show you a test of my friendship.
