Accept my thanks for the Globe received this Morning. I am dory sorry to see manifested by Ad miral Joseph Lanman, and some other officers of the line of the Navy,sentiments which are far from creditable to their discernment, in telligence, or fraternal feelings; and, although thetmemorial contains no argument, it will, no doubt,influence the opinions of legislators, especially of those who are very slightly, if at all, interested in the ques ion it opposes. The metnotiadsta assert, in general terms, that' the proposed measure is adverse to the "bestinterests of the service," but without indicating what, in their opinion, those in termer are. In the second paragraph, Congress is told that the pretensions of the staff are exaggerated and that they seek "an inordinate rank for their own personal aggrandizement," and in this way are "regardless of the injury done to the service generally." If these charges are true they are serious; but as they are not sus tained by even the formality of a specification or illustration of the nature of the injury which the measure will inflict upon "the line," which is synonymous with the term "the service" in the construction given by all who concur with the memorialists, they may be declared to be without foundation in truth. Oa the contrary, the measure must favorably influence the condition of the naval service, for, while it abates nothing from the legiti mate authority, rank or pay of "toe line," or of those of the staff, it is calculated to restore harmony by settling a too-long vexed ques tion. It will benefit all who, while on duty, afloat or on shore, may be sick or hurt, by attracting to the medical staff and retaining in it some of the beet qualified members of the medical profession, and thus securing re liable and skilled assistance at all times for officers and men in the navy prostrated by wonrids or disease. So unpopular now in the medical profession of the United States is toe navy, and so 'Little attractive, that there are more than fifty vacancies in the naval medi cal staff, and very few candidates respectably qualified to.fill them. The arrogant tone of the memorial is not calculated to allure young and well educated medical men to enter or join a community in which they are to be held without any merits or rights which officers of the line are bound to recognize or respect on the same principles that those Or the staff are bound to applaud the merits and respect the rights of officers of the line—that is, arbitrary statutes, and the arbitrary habits which inure to men who con ceive themselves to be possessed of a lawful right to exercise unlimited power over all placed within the bounds of their command. Where such a conception has practical exist ence with one class in a community com posed of several classes, it seems to be no more than just that the powerless classes ehOuld be ehielded by arbitrary statutes from the'.

A diatinetiOn of this nature to a man out• of the naval service is simply worthless, or, perhaps, absurd; but in it,;so highly' prized is rank, that officers of the line have been heard to assert, in most em phatic terms, that they would die in defend ing its. rights. ' But officers of the medical staff, as well as these of other staff corps, have , learned from "the line" to appreciate the value of rank in the navy; and they have also learned, from some other source, however, to believe im plicitly that merits of all kinds are brothers, and in the same community or organization are equally entitled to remunerative rewards and distinctions of the same nature. Their faith in this doctrine is so firm that it cannot be shaken by the assumption that "the line" is the whole navy, and to it exclusively be long all the merits, all the distinctions, and all the rewardsois . well as all the honors and glory_won by the joint efforts of men who, though not of the line, are recognized never theless to be honest, intelligent, skillful, brave and patriotic. But, in preferring their own claims, they wish not to disparage others in any degree. They cheerfully recognize the merits of the line, and rejoice that its efforts i .aided by the staff, • have deservedly won reward and public approbation. In the third paragraph of the memorial it is asserted that the giving of rank to the staff of the navy interests the line only because "the value of any distinction is necessarily lessened by every addition to the number of those who enjoy it." Although the assertion may be true in itself, its application in the premises is fallacious. The grades of line officers included in naval organization, were not created as modes of distinction of the officers, but to classify and define and designate, in a general way, the kinds of duty and degrees of responsibility belonging to each class; the relative position or rank in the grade is to some extent the measure of the officer's relative degree of authority. The grade of commodore or of rear admiral is respectable, independently of the number in the grade. Rear Admiral Joseph Lanman would be no more respect able as the only rear admiral in the navy than he is now, being one of the six-and- wenty of the title. Nor would he be less distin guished than he is were he in a grade of one hundred rear admirals. If the numbers in a grade really constitute a sliding scale of merit or distinction, and this sort of distinction alone is satisfactory, then for the sake of Farragut's fame none should be so ungene roue as to be willing, even in thought, to aspire to the grade of admiral. Yet I ven ture to suppose that not one of the rear admi rals on the active or reserved lists would decline to be placed in the grade of admiral because such association might dim Farra gut's renown. Those memorialists seem to forget that the grades of admiral and vice admiral were cre ated for no other purpose than to distinguish —to recognize the transcendent merits of the gentlemen selected to fill them. The fourth paragraph of the memorial is a tissue of mere assertion of opinion, uremia tained by argument of any kind. The opin ion is erroneous, and without truth in every particular, measured by my experience. "In vasion of the cabin by a crowd of staff offi cers," and an effort to escape from obedience of legitimate orders, are alleged to be envel oped in the measure proposed to reorganize the medical department. The aristocratic sentiment lies at the bot tom of these objections; and this aristocracy is as insincere as aristocracy always is, while contending against right and justice to main tain exclusive advantages and privileges. The professed spirit of brotherhood which indivi - dual line officers declare exists for those of the staff flies away when they would be benefited by its countenance or support. Illardou, Author or • The Fast Family'' , —Has Last Play. As many difficulties, says the dramatic critic of the At hencrum, stood in the way of the performance ot M. Sardou's comedy, La Devote, as formerly beset its great prototype, Tartuffe. All obstacles have now,however, been overcome, andt t he play, though shorn of its original proportions, has at length been seen. The first alteration to which M..Sardou had to submit was the change of the title; the name under which the piece has been allowed to be played at the (Iymnase being Sera phine. Some of the characters are changed to avoid offence. A sanctimonious hypo crite, the representation of which is entrusted to Pradreau, is thus made a doctor in place of an abbe. The dialogue, though still passably mordant, has undergone considerable modifi cation. Seraphine, the heroine, a married woman, is an old sinner, who has made herself in her old age a saint. Her expiation, however, assumes a vicari ous form not seldom seen in similar cases. Yvonne, one of her daughters, is illegitimate. To expiate the transgression to which the girl's birth is due, her mother dooms her to a convent. Interference is of little avail until her father, who loves her though he cannot claim her, threatens, if the persecution is persisted in, to avow that the child is his own. Prudence is a weaker mo tive than penitence, and the threat is disre garded. . It is not until a very striking scene is reached, in which Seraphim:, her husband and her lover are together, and the lover's confession has almost been made, that the mother consents to her child's marriage. Madame Pasca's representation of the "De vote" is fine. Nevem), Bet tol, Pujol, Vietu rien and Mdlle. Autonine support the princi pal characters. The dialogue is good, and the whole play, though too much a dramatic satire raiher than a comedy, is worthy of Sardon's reputation. Speaking of Sardou, a paper war of an acharne description has sprung up between him and M. Julea Claretie. Each of them has written a drama relating to the revolt of the Netherlands, and the question is, whether 117. Sardou somewhat smartly took a hint from M. Claretie, or whether two dramatists have innocently hit en the same idea. Iu the course of a letter to M. Sardou his adver sary thus ennateratee the sources of that gen tleman's moat celebrated plays : Vous avez pris les "Ganaohes" li Balzac et it Louis Ulnacto"Picr fillip:" it M. de Florian, ' Nos Intimes" atom "Faux Bonahornmce de Barriere et au "Pardo:emu& de M.

I have so often been enabled myself to draw the attention of visitors, by, means of that model, to the marvellcus beauty of the Elgin Mar bles, and to induce them thereby to take an interest in them which they would not other wise have felt, and so many others can say the same, that I do not hesitate to call it a cruel, as well as an unwise proceeding.

This translation of the work on Byron by the Countess Guiccioli (or to speak of that lady by her present tide, the. Marquise de Boissy) is presented in a very handsome form to the admirers of the poet, and indeed to the public generally who take an interest in the reality and the romance which are attached to his name and story. But if the translation had only been in a handsome form, there would not have been much more to be said of it th'an is contained in a record Of the' fact. It has another merit and a higher distinction: it is rendered into such excellent English that the dedication of this rendering, to the author of the work, by the translator, Mr. Hubert Jerningbam, is a homage of which Madame la Marquise may be justly proud. There is nothing of the commonly awkward tone of a translation in any page of these volumes. It is all _easy, free, flowing, elegant English, indicating by happy adaptations of phrase that Mr. Jerningham must be as perfect and refined a "Frenchman” as he is an "English man;" and as capable of having put the original English extracts into French as be has shown himself of setting the original French text in a pure and correct English form. The book, moreover, has an additional in terest. It is one of those labors of love which should find approval in all hearts that can feel the influences of gentle Charity. It is not indeed without faults and shortcomings, as we have already explained; but, therewith, it is the:rectification of an aspersed character, the setting-up of a fallen and shattered col umn; and a plea, upon evidence addeeed,for reversal of a public, though not a unanimous, judgment. For such work there should be abundant sympathy. Even if there be im pulse of passion in the plea, and weakness in some of the testimony, the motive is worthy of respect v and the result will doubtless be beneficial to the reputation of the noble poet. Let us add, that it is well that the truth should be asserted in connexion with Byron at this moment, for fiction is simultaneously busy with him; and it is that sort of fiction • which is more readily absorbed by the mind tnan fact; and more lastingly impressive than simple, unadorned truth. It is not many months since the drama of 'Giorgio Byron in Venezia' taught the public of Florence as much as the playgoers among them are likely ever to know of an important part of the poet's life. They will probably believe in it as unreservedly as the Italian dowager be lieved in the existence and doings of quello scelerato, 'Blue Beard,' as the story was told her, weekly, by her chaplain. In this drama the Countess Guiccioli herself is made to fig- • ure. There is, besides, the last man who ever expected to be 'brought upon the stage, the famous Edinburgh Reviewer, who made Byron a satirist, and perhaps made him a poet, by scornfully denying his claim to the proud distinction. Francis Jeffrey figures in the drama as Geffri. He is the villain of the piece, such a villain as the late Mr. 0. Smith used to present with horrible unction and ferocity, though he was, off the stage, the quietest and meekest of men. The Italian stage repre sents "Goffri" dogging "Giorgio Byron" from Edinburgh to Venice, as stealthily as "Bip tiste," the brigand, doge the "travelers be nighted" through the robbers' cave. The hero is awed by the force of Scottish ven geance, and subdued by the power of Italian love,tind very desirif ms of escaping from both. Happily, there was Greece with a rag of re spectability then about her and a cause which u young hero, followed about by a Scotch critic and an Italian innamorata, might justi• fiably make an excuse for slipping away from both. Byron, before leaving the stage, became sublimely prophetic, and foresha dowed a Candiote insurrection which is to crown the triumphs of Greece. Such is the poet as portrayed in the diama, and such he Kill be thought to be in Florence, unless the Countess Guiccioll's "Recollections" are read by the Fiorentines. Meanwhile, it must be confessed that we have here, in England, a few misconceptions touching some of Byron's works which resist all attempts at removal. The lines on the letter H,.' 'Twits whispered in heaven, 'twits muttered in bell," are still constantly attributed to Byron, although it has been shown that they are from the pen of Miss Catharine Fatishawe. Some people still doubt whether Byron had not more to do with Polidori's"Vampire" than he chose to confess, of which stcny'he *at, donbtl6s, 4the, ' lplannetk„ Poll4nrie'lMPaP.4 td 'have adopted 'then idea, and made substancel of it. The cgreneh readily believed in ditelirose BYOniade that infested ' • the time they) ar roo rtr edi .13 yro n 'himself wail byno meanitscruoulous in takini„ other people's ideas wheicwith to work. Hw• defended himself by citing the example of Pbpe, and he used laughingly to declare that the-most original writers were the greatest thieves. • We may leave Mr. Jerningham's handsome and meritorious volumes to their Byron pub lib. They are illustrated by a portrait of the bard, who was often :limned and generally caricatured.' This portrait, however, shows him at his best, in physical beauty and intel lectual expression. We , can fancy any one of his surviving ``flames" peering through her tears at, this presentment, and , murmuring, as ghosts of old memories crowd , around her, "Qu'il emit beau! mon Dieu, qu'il stmt beau!"---Athenceum. BellllllllilCollCee el fled Jacket. An old citizen of Buffalo gives the Com rnercial Advertiser of that city the fol lowing reminiscences of the celebrated Indian chief Red Jacket : '"ln the summer of 1826 I was serving the balance of my,apprentipeship with Stocking and Dart, on the coact. of Swan and Main streets. I boarded at Dyer's Hotel, a stone bUilding on,tbe corner of Exchange and Main streets,...whereJobb's Terrapin Lunch is now. Abort the iime I speak of, 'Red Jacket, with some other Indians, had, been in Buffalo for several, days, seinpling , the `firewater' pentied by the various publicans. So long had the ppree continued that the red men had eihatisted their small supply, of cash, and triostot theni , had even parted with their blankets. 1"I was going back to my breakfast one Morning—We used to'go to the shop and work before breakfast in those days, just to give us an appetite—and was passing the silversmith's shop of Bob —,'which was situated about where Glenny's crockery store is now, when Bob hailed me. On' going into the shop he showed me a large silver medal,and asked me what I thought of that. I asked him where he got it, and he replied : 'I bought it of an Indian last night for tour shillings.' He asked me if I thought it was good silver. I replied that it certainly was, and told him It was Red Jacket's medal, the one that had been placed about the neck of the Chief by General Washington himself. "I hadn't much spare money in those days I was obliged to clothe myself out of my salary of forty-five dollars a year; but I told Bob that he must neither melt nor sell the metal, and I would get the four shillings, re deem it and. return it to Red Jacket. I went down to my boarding-house, told the story to the men—got sixpence from one, a shilling from another and some threw in pennies, omit the desired amount was raised, with which I immediately returned to Bob's, who took the money and delivered me the metal. After going back and getting my breakfast,l, instead of returning to my work, went out to hunt up Red. Jacket. In about half an hour I came across him, walking along in company with old Susie, half squaw and half negress, in front of Jake Siebold's store on Main etree I said, 'TO-gus, go- da Jacket?' (How do you do, friend Jacket?; He replied `to-gust,' in a surly tone, and appeared to be consider ably cross. "I then pulled the medal out of my pocket, showed it to him, and asked him if he knew it. Snatching it from my hand with a very surly and-emphatic 'Ugh l' he stalked off with Susie, without the utterance of another syllable. 1 thought he might have thanked me, at least." [This medal is now in possession of Colo nel Ely Parker, grand nephew of Red Jacket and General Grant's Chief of Staff, and is. of course, from the associations connected with it, above all price.] "When Lafayette visited Buffalo in 1825," our old friend continued, after a silence of some minutes, "I belonged to the Rifle Wrps commanded, I think, by Birdseye Wilcox, which escorted Lafayette from the steamboat to the Eagle Tavern, where the reception was to take place. I happened to be stationed near the platform in front of the door, on which were a number of distinguished indi vichials, including Lafayette, Red Jacket, and others. After Red Jacket had been intro duced to the illustrious Marquis, the latter requested the interpreter—Pascal P. Pratt, an uncle of our present worthy citizen of that name, who spoke the language of the Senecas fluently—to inquire of Red Jacket what had become of the young chief who had so stren uously and eloquently opposed the treaty of Fort Stanwix. When this question was re peated to Jacket,he drew himself proudly up, appearing to me at least six inches taller than he really was, and placing his hand upon his breast, replied, 'Tell him he stands before him.' Never in my lite," continued our friend, "did I see a movement of such noble dignity and grace performed by any other man." LIJEILBEIX.
