LANDOR. i'Ottr, readers ore surely, not tired yet of Mias Maftlneau’s “Sketches,” ond will bo glad of one more. Here is her profile of Walter Savage Lan dor. It is a keen-ent, adamantine cameo of the author of “Imaginary Conversations,” everyway worthy of the man. Landor died September lrth, The great'age to which Mr. Landor at tained affords some sort of presumption that certain attributes of his by which he was bsst known to the multitude were qualities of style rather than of soul—we do not mean of literary style only, but style of expression by life and act, as well as by the pen. Con tempt and bitterness are not conducive to long life. As the ancients Baid, they dry up the vital juiceß. As we moderns say, they fret the brain and nerves, and intercept the com placent enjoyment of good-humor and beue volence, which eminently promotes length of days. As Walter Savage Landor was born in 1775, and has only now departed, it seema that, after all* he had not any fatal proportion of contempt or bitterness deep down in his nature;, and the question remains how he came to be so markedly known by as much as he had. The truth is, he hafi "in him a strong faculty of admiration; and a deep, pure, fresh current of tenderness and sweetness ran odder the film of gall which Nature unhappily shed over his existence at the fountain. This was one of the contradictions of which this paradoxical being was made up; and it is, with the rest, worthy of some contemplation; not because paradoxical persons or the para doxes they produce are choice objects of study to a striving and practical age like ours, bat because Landor achieved some things that were great, and many that were beautiful, in spite of the paradoxical elements of his life and character. The young of thirty years ago, to whom Literature was an important pursuit and pleasure, were often seen in a transport of admiration, amazement, and anger, when rising fromLmdorsbooks. They were quite sfifC that nothing so noble, nothing so tender, nothing so musical was to be found in our language as the “Imaginary Conversations" between Pericles and Sophocles, between Demosthenes and Eubulides, between Ascham and Lady Jane Grey, and plenty more. The patriotism, the magnanimity, and the sweet heroism of the sentiments call up the flash or the tear; and the familiarity with the ancients, in their habit of mind and speech, enraptures the youthful scholar. After a time, he re laxes in his reading of Landor —still* declares, •when he is talked of, that his is a grand and beautiful fragmentary mind; but ho no longer reafls his later volumes; and at last grows so weary of his Jacobin doctrines, his obtrusive spirit, and sententious style, that when the well-known name in large letters appears in the* newspaper, at the foot of a denunciatory letter, or a curse in stanzas, it is a signal to turn’the leaf. The standard criticism of the country seems to have undergone something of the snipe process as the individual student. The Quarterly Review once despised every body who could stop to notice Landor’s faults, and eloquently described the process of the elevation of his fame, till it should be come transcendent among the worthies of England; but it may be questioned now whether the Quarterly Revioiv has any more expectation than the Edinburgh that the writings of Landor will survive, except as cutiosities in literature. The fact seemsjo be that, with some of tbe attributes of genius,' Landor fell jnst short of it He had not the large spirit and generous temper of genius. His egotism was extreme; but it was not that of genius. He has been called a prose Byron; - and certainly he complained abundantly of Han and Life, and abhorred tyrants, aud lived long in Italy, and fought for liberty abroad; and especially, he was at onco a Jacobin or democrat in literature, aud a man of family and fortune; but there the resem blance slops. Where Byron moaned, Landor scolded. Landor had no patience with Roy - ally, or aDy rule but the popular, because it Stood between men and their happiness; whereas Byron looked upon tyranny as a mere symptom of human corruptneßß and misery, and eaw no happiness on the other •ride of it. Byron was an embodiment of the growing, spirit of his time, which uttered itself through him because his lips had been touched with fire; but Landor’a utterances were almost entirely personal and constitu tional—expressed no prevalent sentiment or need—not being even the utterance of a party in polities or literature, but the presentment of an unohangiDg egotism, under majeßtic or graceful disguises furnished.from the stores of his learning or the resources of his imagina tion. It ia one of the paradoxes about Lau dor, pot that he should have but one style— for that wight have been expected; but that that style should have been dramatic. Well as he succeeded in hitting the mode of thought of many of his discoursing person ages, it was by. means of his learning, aud not of his sympathies, that he did so. They were all raised from the dead in their habits a 9 •thev lived; but it was in order to be possessed by Landor in every case—bis spirit speaking through their brains, perhaps, as well as through their lips—but always his spirit and no other. Hence his failures in the case of Hilton, and partly even in that of Cromwell; though there he might-have been expected to fi 10 ***'* pre-eminently. Yet more modern jMjglish personages fail more and more con apicuouely, in comparison with old Greeks, ,»n<f medheval Italians, and far-away Bpan dafds; lor the obvious reason that the former, living amidst modern associations, and rep b7 ° wntcr who is too much of an : egotist and a mannerist to have genuine dra lo#Mo power, must be simply Landor himself tffamped and debilitated by the restraints o hisdiaguise. Those are the;tokens and. proofs of bia falling short'ot true genlda. Yet there is so genuine a force of LtoeraUsm. in his writings, so Constant a vigilance against the encroachments of tyranny, as may nbutratrea n large of self-love and self-will; and ft really la. so rare to see the claims of the democracy so presented, anxidst the music and lights reverberated and reflected from tlie x classic-ages, that the man wbo has done that service may be fairly.considered’ an-original of high math, even if he be too paradoxical, and too measured an egotist, to be entitled to high honors of genius. *; But paradox curries away others tbantne inventors and utterers; and. wo have been commenting on tbe mind of the vigorous old man who ffi gone from us, before wo have glanced at his life, which was, from first to laßt, as characteristic as his writings; as characteristic as hisface and form, and everything pertaining tomm. We may be called paradoxical ourselves if we say (but it is true) that never was anything more of a piece than mind and life, the sur roundings, the utterances and the acts of this wonderlully sane yet thoroughly inconsistent being. His tall, broad, muscular, active frame was characteristic; and so was his head, with the strange elevation of the eye browß, which expressed self-will as strongly in some caßes as astonishment in others. Those eyebrows, mounting up till they com prehend a good portion ot the forehead, have been observed in many more paradoxical personathan one. Then there was the re treating but broad forehead, Bhowiog the de ficiency of reasoning and speculative power. With the preponderance ot imagination, and a hnge passion for destruction. Tho massive self-love and self-will carried up his head to something more than a dignified bearing even to one of arrogance. His vivid and | quick eye, and the thoughtful mouth, were fine, and his whole air Was that of a man dis- I anguished in his own eye certainly, but also in those of others. Tradition reports that he was handsome in his youth. In age he was more. The first question about him usually was why, with his frame, and his courage, and his politics, and his social position, he was not in the army. One reply might be, that he could neither obey nor co- operate; another was, that his godfather, General Powell, wished it; and Landor therefore pre ferred something else. As for that something elBe —bis father offered him £4OO a year to study law, and reside in the Temple for that purpose, whereas he would give him only Al5O if he would not; and of course he took the .£l5O, and went as far as he could from the Temple—that is, to Swansea. Warwick -was his native place. He was born in the best house in the city, where the fine old gar den, with its noble el dob and horse-chestnuts, might have influenced his imagination, so as to have something to do possibly with his subsequent abode in Italy. His mother was of the ancient family of Savage; and heredi tary estates lay about him in Staffordshire and Warwickshire, which had been in the possession of the family for nearly seven cen turies. These he sold, to shift himself to Wales, and nowhere did his spirit of destruc tive waywardness break out more pain fully than in the sale of those old estates, and his treatment of the new. He employed many scores of laborers on his Welsh estates, made roads and planted, and built a house which cost him .£B,OOO. He set his heart upon game-preserving (of all purßuitß for a demo cratic republican), and had at times twenty keeperßout upon the hills at night, watching his grouse; but with 12,000 acres of land, he never saw a grouse on hiß table. His tenants cheated him, he declared, and destroyed his | plantations; and, though he got rid of them, he left, not only Wales but Great Britain, in wrath. TheD, the steward in charge of his house cheated him, when he not only got rid of tbe steward, but had his splendid new bouse pulled down —out of consideration, he declared, for his sou’s future ease and con venience, in being rid of so vexatious a property. His llatterers called this an act of characteristic indignation. To others it ap - pcared that his republican and self-governing doctrines came rather strangely from one who could not rule his own affairs and his own people; and who, finding his failure, could do nothing better than lay waste the whole scene. 1 He had obtained some of his scholar ship at Rugby, and somewhat more at Oxford—where, however, his stay was short Having fired a gun. in the quad rangle of his college, he was rusticated; and, instead of returning, published a volume of poems, when he was only eighteen. While at Swansea he studied and wrote “Gebir.” On the invasion of Spain he determined to be a soldier on his own account, raised a small troop at his owe expense, and was first Englishman who landed in aid of the Span iards. He was rewarded for this aid, and for a gift oi money,by the thanks of the Supreme Junta, and by the rank of Colonel on his re turn to England; but he sent back his com mission and the record of thanks when Fer dinand set aside the Constitution. Among mariy good political acts, perhaps none was better than this. At thirty-six years of age he married a French lady of good family; and , a few years alter, in 1818, fixed his residence in Italy,—first in the Palazzo Medici, in; Florence. and when obliged to leave it, in a | charming villa two miles off. That Villa i Gberardesca was built by Michael Angelo. Few British travelers in Italy fail to go and j see Ftesole; and while Landor lived there he was the prey of lion-hunters, —as he vehe mently complained ou occasion of the feud between him aDd N. P. Willis.the American, who lost a manuscript confided to him for his opinion. Such a subordination of the full, ripe scholar and discourser to the shallow, flippant skctcher by tho wayside, might seem to deserve Buch a result; but it did not tend to I reconcile Landor to lion-hunters. While in Italy, he sent to Euglish newspapers, and especially to the Axaminer, frequent com ments on passing events in the political world, in Ihe form of letters or of verse. He was collecting pictures all the while; and when ho returned to England to pass the rest of bis days, as he supposed, he left the bullk of his collection in his villa for his son’s bene fit, bringing only a few gems wherewith to I adorn such a modest residence as he now In- I tended to have in his own country. That residence was In Bt. James’s Square, Bath, where he became an octogenarian, living for a while in peace and quiet—still commenting on men and measures through the Liberal papers, and putting forth, in his eightieth year,the tittle volume called “Last Fruit from an Old Tree.” The spectacle of a vigorous, vivid, undaunted old age, true to the aims and convictions of youth, is always a flue one; and it was warmly felt to be so in Lan dor’a cnße. His prejudices mattered less, when human affairs went on maturing ttaem- Belves in spite of them; and many of his com plaints were silenced in the best possible way —by the reform of abuses which-he, with some unnecessary violence, denounced. He, for his part, talked less, about kilting kings; and bis steady assertion of tlio claims of the humble fell in better with the spirit of the time, after years had inaugurated the works of peace. About many matters of political principle and practice he was right, while yet the majority of society werd -wrodg; and it would be too much tQjrequird (hat, he shoitld he wholly rlght in doctrine and fact, or very jiDgelio in his way of enforcing his convic tions.

Tile Judicial Llgitts ol OTassacUusctts. [From the Boston Advertiser, April 6.J The Bubject of hereditary ability haß at tracted some attention in England lately, and a very curious letter was recently published in the Times founded upon Mr. Foss's ta bles of all the English judges from the ear liest timeß, showing in whit a number of in stances several members of the same family, often In direct descent, have attained a high position at the English bar; and have been appointed,to the bench. A similar list can be formed from the judges of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, and, in proportion to their number, perhaps quite as remarkable as that which the industry of antiquaries has discovered in England. . From the list published in the Manual of the General Court for i 869, page 135, it ap pears that between 1692 and 1776 there were thirty-three judges of the Superior Court of Judicature of the Province of Massachusetts Bay. Among these were three Cushings, two Bewails (both chief 'justices), two Lyndes (also chief justices), and'two Hutchinsons, and members of the distinguished lamilies of Winthrop, Dudley, Leverett, Quincy, Sal tonstall and Oliver. Since 1775 there have been forty-two jus tices of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, ,from whom we have selected the following names: .... . . John Adams, the first chief justice, and the second President of the United States, whose family is too celebrated to need spe cial mention. „ . . William Cushing, the second chief justice, and afterwardß judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, a hear relative of Nathan Cushing, judge 1790-1800, and of Caleb Cushing, judge 1852-53. and after wards Attorney-General of the United States, and of i Robert Treat Paine, judge 1790-1801, one of the signers of the Declaration of lnde ; pendence. Jedediah Foster, judge 1776- 79, was the father of Dwight Foßter, chief justice of the Common Pleas and United States Senator from Massachusetts, and of Theodore Foster, United States Senator from Rhode Island,and great-grandfather of Dwight Foster, judge 1866—69. Francis Dana, the fourth chief justice and Minister to Russia, was the son of Richard Dana, judge oft, the provincial Court of Com mon Pleas, a2u nephew of Edmund Trow bridge, the ablest and most learned of the judges of the provincial Superior Coart; and was also father of Richard Henry Dina, the poet, grandfather of Richard Henry Dana, Jr., one of the present leaders of the Boston bar, and uncle of General George Kinnaird Dana, of the English army. James Sullivan, judge 1776 82, and after wards governor, was a brother of General John Sullivan and father of the late Hon. William Sullivan. Theophilua Parsons, the fifth chief justice, twas the father of Hon. Theophilus Parsons, ■i Dane Professor of Law in Harvard Univer sity. , ' David Sewall, judge 1777-89, and ! j Samuel Bewail, the sixth chief justice,were {near relatives and descendants of Cjiief Jus -1 ftice Samuel Sewall, of witchcraft celebrity. Simeon Strong, judge 180 - 5, was, we be lieve,a near relative of Governor Caleb Strong, and was father of Solomon Strong, judge of the Court of Common Pleas. Theodore Sedgwick, judge 1802-13, and previously speaker and senator in Congress, was father of Robert Sedgwick, and grand father of Theodore Sedgwick, two distin guished members of the New York bar. Miss Sedgwick, the well-known authoress,was his daughter. Daniel Dewey, judge 1814-15, was the father of Charles Augustus Dewey, judge 1837-66, and a son of the latter, Francis Hen shaw Dewey, is one of the present judges of the Superior Court. The late Daniel Dewey Barnard, of Albany, minister at the court of Prussia, was their coußin. Levi Lincoln, judge 1824-25, and after wards governor, was the son of Levi Lincoln, Attorney-General oi the United States, and brother of Euech Lincoln, governor of Maine. Marcus Morton, judge 1825-40, and after wards governor, was the father of Marcus Morton,one of the present judges of the Supe rior Court. Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar, judge 1859-69, and now Attorney-General of the United States, iB the son of the late Hon. Samuel Hoar, of Concord, and brother of the Hon. George Friabie Hoar, member of Congress from Worcester. They are grandsons, of Roger Sherman and first cousins of the late Governor Roger Sherman Baldwin, of Con necticut, and of William Maxwell Evarta, lately Attorney-General of the United States. Beth Ames, qne of the present judges of the court, is the son of the celebrated Fisher Ames. This list is necessarily imperfect, particu larly in relationship on the female, side, and possibly in one or two instances incor rect, but it is singularly strong evidence in support of the theory to which we referred above. 1 ■ bebedivabt ability. ««AB.

LIOHItIIRO AS A MEDICAL. AGBN f. We extract from “Thunder and Lightning,’ joat published in Charles Scribner <& Co.’s Il lustrated Library ®f Wonders, the following well-attested cases, which will interest those who are studying the, effects of electricity as a remedial agent in nervous diseases: Ah a cure for paralysis, a thunderbolt seems to.be a sovereign remedy; but the dif ficulty resides in Snowing how to receive a proper dose, and not an exorbitant allowance of i' - ‘-7 ' An American enffered paralysis npon one side of hifl body from childhood. A thunder bolt cored him entirely, and gave him the nse of all hia'organs, after shaking him so severely, however,that he remained insen sible for about twenty minutes. An Engliflhman, who tor twenty long years had taken ferruginous baths daring the sum mer, hot without any benefit, was entifely cored in less than a Second by a flash of light ning. The same,story is related of an invalid in one of the Austrian hospitals; being lncky enough one day to stand in the wav of the atmospheric spark, be was enabled without delay to leave the establishment and resume his work. Scotesby mentions a similar fact which oc curred to a passenger on the now celebrated packet-boat New York, already alluded, to more than once in these pages. Like the American just quoted, this person, favored by lightning, was paralyzed for many yearn He wobbo astonished at finding himself sud denly cored, that for sometime he ran about the deck like a madman. The other pas seDgera believed that he had lost bis Bensea. However, they soon learned what had hap pened; and admired the unknown mysterious Influence which had produced so marvellous fin effect Suzanne Schmacht was an old maiden ladyt bo Completely paralyzed since her child hood that she could never move a step with out orntohes. One day when alone ia her chamber She heard mo3t > violent olap of thunder. Much alarmed, she fell upon her knees to implore protection from the Almighty, At , this moment Bhe heard a knobk at her dodr; it was her brother who wished to see her. She recognized his voice, and immediately looked round lor her crutches. Not finding them at once,she pre pared to crawl towards the door—her only means of prhgireSsidn Cfctfches were norat fiand; The fright, the shock her sys tem had just before received, had performed a marvellouß core !• Who knows but what natural electricity will be one day utilized medically in the neighborhood of onr light ning conductors? The marvels we have already exhibited; and thoße Which still re- Tnftin.tn be mentioned, are far ( Irom proving tbat any ftith haUßt be attached to the dreams of visionaries, but they are still further from demonstrating that it is possible.to draw any limits to the power of lightning. It Ib because Mr. Beeeher has bo many re markable points andways that people like to read little paragraphs about him. Hot long ago brother had a chat with him on mhtters and' things in general. The Meth odist'brother, says: “I asked if it was true that Plymouth Church building was about to be enlarged. Mr. Beecher said, ‘No.’ Do you then, intend to build anew ? I‘ inquired. ‘No,’ said he,‘the project is broached every year at pew-lettlng time, on account of the demand for seats, and the high prices they fetch, but it speedily dies down. W« .were very, near building just as the war broke out, and had we done so it would have been a wiße movement j but everything was so uncertain, and the future looked bo dark that the thing fell through. My people feel, and so do I, that I am not so young as I once Was, and should I drop off, a larger building would not be wanted. We -cah'seat 2;C00, and manage, tO Squeeze in 3,000 as it is. ’ I reminded him that he was comparatively young, apd that his father be fore iiim lived to a groat age; and that he might have many years of effective labor be fore him yet ‘YeS,’ he said, ‘but my father, though a hard-working man, did not pass through the exciting scenes and labors that have befallen me. The life of O' minister in a country village or. town is not worn and wasted .as la that of a city pastor, liable to in numerable calls and always on' the strain. I shall probably drop down in the harness Bomo'day, and not live to be old;’ ‘But,’ I saidj : ‘you take exercise, you believe in and practice muscular.Qkristiaiiity?’ ‘Not so much asT ought to, or aB it is generally sup - posed that X do., 1 have been in Brooklyn nineteen years, and never in all that time; have I wet a trout line, and beyond an occa sional visit and spending my summer vaca - tion here,l know no relaxation.’ ’The strain Beecber. oh o citir pastor, situated as 1 am, Is constaat and f/Mr.'Beecher la aging fast. : His ' hair gi;pWß:gr«y otad thlfi-i tOn my remarking to Mrs. Beecher, as We drove to the train, that 1 saw. p gjeat'dlfference in him since my last interview With him, nine years ago, she replied, ‘Yes, It was tjhat terrible: war. It made us all look and.feQji.old;,’;. Mr. Beecher baa a worn and Weary look, and does not .prefifint ;the appearance of robust health I have always hitherto associated with him.’’ m'J-il. o I— . , ‘ f , jjhßMtn|?s.,Q|cuMr. ' Ullroan iecenily>addressedJ the ffolldwing curious circularao his friends: "Afqer reading Rossini's posthumous mass, I bought the right of performing it in Italy.

Tt is ‘ certaitily by far more beautiful and grand than his ‘Stabat Mater.’ Ido not write you this for the pur pose of pufling the work,. I;havo engaged star cantatricea and singers; and shall give the mass in the large cities of Italy with an orcheatraiof one hundred performers, and a choir of two hundred; in the second rate cities, With sixty musicians and sixty choris ters;, and in the small towns, with thirty musicians and fhirty choristers. .Tho' latter Will always accompany me as the nucleus of my troupe; moreover,lshall take with jne four reserve singers, in case one or the other of the stars should be taken sick.
