KEW niBUVAIIONS. / 'We receive through Turner Bros., &Co. “ ‘ the noat and smart little volume containing the r~;r*ntabiograpliy“,ofrthtrvirtemn'John'Ncal;-iiow arrived at the age of 70, and the Father of; our. American literary guild. The book,'just pub lished by Roberts Bros., is garrulously named by the author “Wandering Recollections of a Somewhat busy Life, an Autobiography.” It > was begun on his seventy-third birthday, and ho was writing away at- it not three ■ months . hack. It is a repertory of literary anecdote , and pleasant small gossip, told with senilo de liberation and insistance, and extending in point of time away beyond the day when Siil »ey Smith wanted to know who ever read an American book. v ‘Bom a down-east Quaker, grandson of a broad-brimmed preacher-of that sect, Neal's first recollections include some drab-colored jokes of the society. A shop-boy in Portland,- a retail mercer in Boston and New York, anil then a partner of Pierpont’s in the wholesale dry-goods line at Baltimore, lie clung to traffic until the failure of the last-named speculation, •when he. plunged; into law and literature to- 1 gether, and published Iris first novel, “Keep Cool,” in 1817, in Baltimore. A number of stories, and quantities of magazine papers, were the fruit of liis brain during the next six years, when, goaded by what he calls the “ insolent ” .question about 'American books anil tlieir readers, he determined to cross the ocean and’ beard the British lionin the very den of Black- , .wood, the' cleverest, the sauciest and the most unprincipled of all our calumniators.” FIRST CONTRIBUTION TO BLACKWOOD. If I could manage to get possession of that , blazing rocket-battery,and turn its fire upon the swarming whipper-snappers, who were always lying .about our institutions, and habits and prospects—now in the newspapers, like John Bull; now in the Edinburgh. Quarterly; now in the record; of British travelers, like the author of a “Summary View of America;” aiul mow in the House of Commons—it seemed to me,that I should have my hands full for a time; ; and tliat,by perseverance and good luck,lmight be able to cany the war into Africa, with a vengeance, and furnish a pretty good answer to the insolent question, “117(0 reads an Ameri can book ?” Having made up my mind, I sat down, and wrote a paper for Blackwood making, if I remember aright, six printed pages, about our • ‘‘Five American Presidents,” and the five pre sidential candidates then before tlie country— Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, and William 11. Craw ford—giving outline sketches of them all, and venturing, modestly enough, to foretell certain results, which were speedily verified. With this paper I sent a letter signed “Carter Holmes,” acknowledging, however, that the name was adopted for the occasion, but pro misiiig, whenever called for by anybody who might fancy himself aggrieved, to abandon my concealment, anil give up my real name. I took especial care also, to write as if I were an Englishman, a traveler, who had seen some thing of the Americans, and was willing to turn wliat he knew of them to account; for I had good reasons to believe, that communica ''tiorisfrom'ltq American, if lie did not abuse America, would go into the Balaam-basket. In due course of mail,! received a reply from Blackwood liiin?elf, saying that if I chose to .communicate my real name, it should be a secret between ourselves, though he did not re quire to know it; and soon after, the veiy next month, indeed,.came the article to me in print, with, an order on Mr. Cadell for five guineas, more than I had ever received in my life from all the magazines I had ever written for, in this country. My paper produced quite a sensation, anil was immediately borrowed, and copied, and quoted, aiid reproduced, not only in the jour nals of the day, but in the New European, - edited by the famous Dr. Alexander Walker, • which was said to appear ''simultaneously .in two or three diil'erent languages, on the Con tinent. In a note now before me, from Mr. Henry Southern, editor of the i London Magazine, after • poor Jolpv Scott had been sacrificed, and sub editor of the Westminister, dated March 17, 1820,' I find the following passage: “I shall be , equally candid—for this, and two or three more similar, the Magazine can afford 'to pay-CIO each” ($00.) BLACKWOOD'S KUItOItS IN IUEINTING. There were some droll errors in my first paper about the Presidents and Presidential candidates, two or three of which are worth correcting, even at this late hour, lest they should continue to be repeated hereafter, ;ts they have been heretofore. 1 Speaking of Mi - . Jefferson’s farm at Monti cello, the printers made me say—l never saw the proof—“ Mr. Jefferson's fame at Muel eelio;” and where 1 had written “ lie expected the war” they said ‘Ahe expeded the win 1 probably mistaking the word for an American ism, which would not bear to be tampered with, like “jeopardize,” or “to progressand where 1 wrote in the plainest possible hand, “the countenance of the American Govern ment, under Washington, throughout all its foreign negotiations and domestic administra tion, was erect and natural, very strong, simple and grave,” instead of countenance, the block heads printed it continuance, which, of course, made the most deplorable nonsense of it. Nevertheless, the blunders were copied into, the European magazine already mentioned, and perpetuated elsewhere, with scrupulous fidelity, as if they really meant something, so that, from that day to this, I am continually meeting with them. This paper led to my becoming a regular monthly contributor for Blackwood up to February, 182(5, when I withdrew the first of r what were to be called “North American Stories,” after it was in type and paid for; and there ended my writing for Blackwood. This ■very story, by the way, was founded on our Salem witchcraft, and constituted the frame work of “Hacliel Dyer,” after my return to America. All the. papers written for Blackwood ex cept the one about, “Men aiid Women," where I undertook to show their equality, and that the difference between the sexes was nutowiug to organization, but to temperament'and sen-' sibility, had relation to America and American affairs, 1 took up all our writers, from recollee • tion, without referring to a book, and then all our painters; and then I renewed the reviewers, ' and gave the author of a new book, which ap peared under the title of “Summary View of America,’Mfuclia scoring ..that he, _w;is never heard of afterward. . -NISAL CONTIUBUTES TO TIIB lUUTISII NEWS PAI'EIIS. My chief object, from the first, was to bring together—and not to segregate, alienate or em bitter—two great nations, with a common lin eage, a common history,a common language, a '.common literature, a common purpose, and a coihmon interest. To do this elluctiudly, I must write as an Englishman, or at least, not ; as an American; being always careful to say Ijy, the truth, and .always ready to acknowledge tlie l faults of others, and especially of my country men. ' K Writing for--. the newspaper on such., a snb twas opt of the question; for what knew »jr, and fvhat cared they about America or OCrjean aifairs? ; Oiu‘ literature they had cn taught to believe, and, I have no doubt, did. ucstly believe, was “imported in bales and gshcads;” our authors all • imitators ;UJ ,] pia- giaristsand thatrthe Jiigliest complimeutj hi: the world for us *and for them, was to-StjaU Washington .Irvinglthe Cooper, the American Scott, Charles Brockdeu Brown, thft Amcric.am_ GqdwiU,.andX Mrs:.Si goumey, the American Ilcmans; y all well enough, to he sure, 1 iL if wem' only meiint to characterize their several works and writings, because of a resemblance they saw to some of theirs. But they, had no such-ideait was in tended for encouragement, like patting afellow on the bade, andprepaftng Win for literacy ca nonization, or, it may he, for bolting flapjacks, after a fashion peculiar to: ourselves, &c., &c., &c., subject nevertheless, &c., &c., &c. MEAL HITS OTJT IN DEFENCE OF WAB3I , - INOTON. V V ■ But I dUV not reach this conclusion till I had tried some of the newspapers, and had tried me severely. To example: On seeing in the Times, or the John Bull newspaper, edited by Theodore Book—l forget tvliich—a shame ful attack on Washington, wherein lie was con trasted with Bolivar, and .charged- with Frank lin's greatest virtue,' niggardliness, or at least with unreasonable thrift, I. sent a brief, but; in hay judgment, a conclusive- reply; saying, first, that Washington had refused pay for his ser vices as commander-in-chief, during the whole revolutionary war, which lasted nearly eight years, asking only to be indemnified for actual disbursements and outlays on account of" the army, and' refusing to receive a -penny for which he did not produce the most unquestionable vouchers, though some had been .lost., or destroyed, lie knew not liow, while moving tbe army, whereby he was a loser to a considerable amount, according to his carefully kept account-books; and, secondly, that when his agent refused to furnish supplies for the 'British vessels of war, lying oif Mount Vernon, Washington’s plantation, though he had good reason to believe they would open fire upon the place—the officer in command having threatened to do so—he proved beyond all question one of two things—either ..that Washington bad-given such oraem, of that he knew enough of Washington's character to be willing to take the responsibility. This com munication did not appear in the paper that, contained the charges, I believe, though I greatly desired to send the antidote after the': poison—the weasel after the rat—and through the same channels; but I had kept a copy, and it appeared elsewhere in pretty good season, though I forget where just now. BISGUSTEDriVIiH'TIIK DAII/V BRITISH PRESS. At anotheritiih.e I had a short interview 'with the proprietor of ,the Morning Herald, if I do not mistake, who, understanding that I should soon be in Paris, wanted to engage me as a correspondent, and particularly to showUp that “Old Granny, Lafayette.” The fellow’s name was Thwaites, and lie had been a celebrated linen-draper not longbefore, without, education or manners, hut shrewd; inquisitive, .and smart as a steel trap. Of course we did not agree, aud I had no further communication with the gentleman till long after my return to America, when I wrote a series of articles about our northeastern boundary, which, without my knowledge, were ottered to him. These I had kept in a large blank book, together with some letter's from .Governor Lincoln, of Maine,which were in a measure confidential, though com mitted to my discretion. All these papers a vagabond Englishman,one of a score I have had to do with in the course of my life, borrowed of me, at the most critical .part of oiu' negotia tions, when the Aroostook war was beginning to loom up, under pretence of showing them, confidentially, to the governor-general, and never returned them. The gentleman’s name I lost in the fire—would it had been the gentle man himself—or I should certainly show him up here atfultlength, having kept him iu reserve for that very purpose. , ; ’ HEVEISTH TO THE MAGAZINES, To theAUohthlies and quarterlies, therefore, I determirfed to coniine my operations, lor a while at least, until I could make it desirable for them all, to American Department, instead of being satisfied with an occasional paragraph on American affairs, iu the siwpe of a fling, or a slur. And before six months were over, I had succeeded so far as to get papers about America and American affairs, American literature, and American art, into Blackwood, the Neiv Monthly, the Old Monthly, the London Magazine, the 1 New European, the Oriental- Hendd—n quarterly, managed by “Silk Buckingham,” who afterward lectured in tills country, after a fashion, without informing our people that he had once-sailed a merchant vessel out of Norfolk, Va., before he went to tlie British East Indies, where-lie set up the Iferedd —the Westminster, the European, second series, got up, without my knowledge at the time, by the proprietors of the John Bull newspaper, which had always lying about us, and abusing us, and all our institutions and liabits, and published- by Miller of Blacic Friars, who was known everywhere as tin; American bookseller, though an Englishman by birth and education,'and only an American bookseller because he had brought out the “Sketch-Book” by Irving, after it had been poolicd at by Murray': and tlien Cooper’s works, one after another, until lie passed them over to Colburn. It w.'is Miller who engaged me, but the deception did not avail; for soon after my controversy with Mr. Charles Mat thews,, about his audacious and blundering nu's-i cpi esentations of the Yankee character, which appeared in that periodical, 1 came to a knowledge of the truth; and, although hand somely paid, I refused to write another line for it. Tlio Baileys',Too, of Long-Acre—with whoso progenitors Dr. Franklin labored, and out of whose, establishment cai'ne the printing press at which lie worked, while preaching tem perance to the beer-drinkers about-him, and which is now, 1 believe, in the Philadelphia Museum —actually went so far as to buy up an old monthly, for the purpose of introducing an American-department,'which was committed to my charge. AN AMKIIICAX CHAMPION- AI.I. ALONE IN KXULAXD. In a word, my plan, worked handsomely;' and I was in great, demand for whatever related to the “United States of North America,” a title I began to use instead of “America,” as more sig nificant and exclusive than tlie “United States,” there being a plentiful supply of “United States” coming and going, like shadows, in South America and elsewhere. My signatures; when I used any at all, were strange and lnultifilrious;—'whether.! wrote on America,- or upon other miscellaneous subjects, which I did only at. long intervals, as upon “Men aad Women,” in Blackwood, or on "Verbicide,”—punning—in the Old Monthly. They were signed A. 0., N., A. B. C., N. Y. 55., A., W. A., Omega, Kredcricli. Richter, &«., &c., Ac., arid were varied, according to circum stances, for .different journals, that all papers about America, or American ailairs, might not be supposed to proceed from tjie same indi vidual. •— 7 - When it is . remembered that, up to this pe riod, May, 1824, no American writer liad ever found his way into any of these periodicals, and'that American allairs were dealt with in short, insolent paragraphs, full of misapprehen sion, or of downright misrepresentation, as if they were dealing with Feejce Islanders, or Timlmetqos, without fear of contradiction, say what they would, it must he admitted,! think, that my plan was well-conceived and well-car ried out. And then, too, if we call to. mind the fact lhat, since! gave up writing for these journals, there has been no such thing in any'of them; as. an American Department, nor even a decent article about America—the United State's of America,! mean ;• and that,.with, the exception of Albert ,I’ike, who furnished half a score of respectable sonnets for Blackwood, not to he compared with the poetry lie wrote for me, when I had charge of the Yankee, and Mr. L?

But I had many a snubbing, and not a few uncomfortable disappointments, to put up With, and two or three unpleasant misunder standings to adjust, before the campaign was over. 1 For example: After I had secured, as 1 thought, a fair field, and no favor, in the great European, edited by Dr. Alexander Walker — 1 believe he was a Doctor, and perhaps an LL. D., or something of the sort —he having pub lished my article on the “Presidents'.and Presi dential Candidates,” from Blackwood, in Slay, 1824, with all the atrocious blunders, and one or two other papers of minej about Ame rica and'American affairs, furnished for that periodical, I received the following brief note : from him, written with a crow-quill, on gilt edged paper, in the daintiest of female hands, not to be compared for manliness with that of Mrs. Wheeler, the Mary Wolstohcroft of her day, through whose agency We had become acquainted: _ / “Bear Sir: Our article on Lord Byron was printed before I got yours. It is quite differ ent. I think the other papers too partial to the United States to be well received, even by lib eral Britons. The battery , anecdote and its contrasts are a great deal too good; “l am, my dear sir, most respectfully yours, [No date.] WA.Waeker.”' . In giving a few brief sketches of American character,! had mentioned Colonel Miller’s re ply at the battle of Bridgewater, or Lundy’s Lane, when asked if he could .carry that bat tery.. “I’ll try,” said lie, and carried.it. Here was a fine example of the, temperl had to deal with, sometimes, when I fell in with, of fell out with, a loyal Scotchman, always more ex travagantly and obstreperously; loyal, than any native-born Englishman; just as the provincials and colonists are now. snubbed again : gems op British style Another note from the same individual,who, by the way, had just made a fierce onslaught upon phrenology, contending that the cerebel lum was the seat of muscular : action, and nothing else, and that no other function could be predicated of it; and was .actually prepar ing to do for the world what D’Alembert had failed to-do—that is, to supply the deficiencies of all who preceded him, in philosophy and science, literature and art, having wearied of that narrower course whereby he “gave up to the few what was meant for mankind”— ran thus: “Bear Sir I ‘The Dream’ is incompatible with our plan. The other: paper is, in my opinioiytoo serious a reply to a mere ‘jenx d’esprit [instead of jeit d’esprit.] . I have re ceived two others of a lighter kind; , neither so thoroughly investigating the matter, yet either fot ming a more appropriate reply.

The writers ought to be indicted. But enough. Here ended my acquaintance with Dr. Walker, whose fresh countenance, fine head on the whole, white hah-, and pompous, dignified car riage, are all before me how, as I saw linn, at the age of sixty or thereabouts, with such a marvellous distinctness, that I verily believe I could sketch him, and almost paint hint, to the life, bad I the gift I have always been thought to possess, ever since I first began to talk about painting and painters; a great mistake, by the way, for I never; had any special talent for brush-portraiture, whatever I may have had front the lii st, for pen-portraiture. BROTHER JONATHAN: HOWTO GET Ul» AIJOOK While thus occupied, I prepared “Brother Jonathan’? for Mr. Blackwood. It appeared in three handsome volumes, and I was paid my own-price for it, two hundred guineas, after re writing the whole, I dare not say how many times. The original manuscript I had brought with me from Baltimore, working on it, in the midst of storm and sea-sickness,"all the -way over. . But my notions changed, after writing awhile for the magazines, anil I re-wrote e very page of it again—every paragraph I might say, so that the whole web, warp and woof was changed with a vieiv to Blackwood. But, on reading it all over, and subjecting it to thejitdg ment of Professor Wilson, alias Cluistoplier Noi tli, and to some other individuals of great good sense and large experience, they had their misgivings about certain portions; and lie, Blackwood, was .cruelly disappointed. Where upon I wrote it all over again, for the third time, rejecting huge portions altogether, some of which appeared after my return to America, and altering other portions, and changing and qualifying the incidents, characters and plots, gashing and peppering the whole with commas, and colons, and semi-colons, and a plenty of dashes, until it had become almost a new story, when it was accepted, and brought forth in superior style, both at London arid in Edin burgh. Many reviews appeared, and all suiliciently .gratifyingpbojjh at London and Paris; all, too, by utter stTaiigerS to me. But the most re markable notice appeared in a volume of “ Re jected Articles,” published by Colburn, and written by ...nobody knows whom, to this day, •I believe, Containing capital imitations of Wil liam Cobbett, Francis Jeffrey, and others, and a review' of “ Brother Jonathan,” purporting 1 ' to have been written by Jeffrey himself— evi dently suggested by the “ Rejected Addresses,” which had been so successful, many-years be fore, by the two Smiths. Dkcembek 9, 1808.—I have just lighted on the following brief letter, 'which refers to what was “ left over” when 1 Jiad liiiished—for the third time—the story of “ Brother Jonathan.” “Otterbag” was one of tlie many episodes I threw aside while revising it for the last time; and after my return to America it appeared in the “ Token,” edited by Mr. Goodrich. “LiTEitAitY Union Club Hocsk, Water loo Place, Regent street, London, January 29,- 1830.—Hi selecting.matter for our reprint of the shorter pieces of American writers, with a view to place American literature before the British public in a favorable light, Miss Mitford and myself have taken that most admirable creation of genius, ‘Otterbag,’ for tlie first article of the first work.

When a mere child, I once drew a small cart load of rftw turnips over a wooden bridge. The people of the village noticed me. I drew their attention. They said I had a future before me. Up to that time I had an idea it was behind me. : “Tune passed on. It always does, by the way. You may possibly have noticed that time always does. It.isakindof way time has. “I became a man.

It is an oil painting done in petroleum. It is by the old masters. It was the last tiring they did be fore dying. They did this and then they ex pired. “ The most celebrated artists of London are so delighted with this picture -that they come to the hall every day to gaze at it. I wish you were nearer to k—so you could see it better. 1 wish I cpuld take it to your residences and let you see it by daylight. Some of the greatest artists come lrer-e every morning before day light, with lanterns, to look at it. They say they never saw 7 anything like it before—and they hope they never shall again. “ When I first showed this pictitre in New Yoik, the audiences were so entlrusiakic in their admiration for this pictui'e that they called for tire artist—and when he appeared threw brickbats at him.

WIBE BAItWAtS. n. Conveyed over Wires. “ ‘A railway .without cuttings, embankments, tunnels, viaducts, or bridges, no matter how hilly the country to be traversed’—such is the definition by JJcrtjHtWa Journal of an inven tion now in uSe lhXefatstmhire, and a work ing model of wliicli may be seen in Gresham street, E. V. The wire tramway provides a simple and cheap substitute for a line of rails, and is of great service where, from the scarcity or intermittent ■ character of the traffic Or the engineering difficulties of the ground to be got over, if is either not expedient or iinpojsiJ file to go througji the expensive! process of forming a local railway. For the wire spans and evades obstacles in place of burrowing under or levelling them, and will perform its task as easily along a nigged tract of coun try as on the smoothest road. The experi ment being now prosecuted with complete success between some Leicestershire stone quarries and a railway station three miles dis tant, eomisfs'of an endless wire rope, sup ported oil a! series of .pulleys; carried by Sub stantial posts, which are ordinarily about one hundred ami fifty,feet apart, but the interval between which may be greatly extended, as is shown in one case where the span from post to post is sik hundred feet. One of the ends of this rope (passes round a Fowler’s dip-drum, worked by a {jortable steam engine, and this drives the'rope at a speed of six miles an hour. Boxes are hiing on the rope at tlie loading end near the quafries by a pendant which is inge niously arranged to preserve a jierfect equili brium! attd'at the same time to jiass without hindrance over the supports. Each Of these boxes carries one bundled weight of stone, and the delivery is at the rate of two hundred boxes, or fen tons per hour for the three-mile distance. ■ “ A]re:ulv wire tramways on the silk; model are in course of erection in France, Italy ami Spain.- Negotiations are on foot-too, Between the Turkish' government and the •ngineers here, and it is not Miprobable that this generation may see goods carried by win; as commonly as messages. The tramway is. indeed, not iudlke an exceedingly stout electric telegraph: and there is somethingahnost droll in the sight of a regiment of well-laden trucks air lxixes passing gravely along it at stated in tervals. and at regular pace, much as if they were at aerial drill. The most important point in air. Hodgson's invention is ha method of passing the points of support, which consists in so curving the frame of the truck or box as to make the centre of gravity come under the rope.
