The bi ographies number thirteen, from that of Sir Bichard 'Whittington, in the fourteenth cen-, tury, to Mr. Peabody’s in our own. A quantity ’ of. interesting anecdotes are included in these memoirs, from which we select a very few--.. The story of Rothschild and the. Prince,— ‘•prmez ieuz charcc.?’—and here. correctly at tributed to Nathan Rothschild, was credited at the time of Iris recent death to the late Baron : James,' in the French press, arid, we believe, in the Buixetin: NATHAN MEYER ROTHSCHILD. “Even his charities, according to his own ■confession, were eccentric, and chiefly indulged •in for his own entertainment. ‘Sometimes, to amuse myself, he said, ‘I give a beggar a guinea.. He thinks it is a mistake, and, for fear I should find it' out, off hi? runs as hard as he Can. I advise you to give a beggar a guinea sometimes; it is very amusing.’ , , ; “The great man’s jokes were not very witty. One of the best of them owes its point, to Ids Jewish pronunciation. At a Lord Mayor’s - dinner he sat next to a guest noted for his stinginess, who chanced to say that, for. his port, he preferred mutton to venison. t beard the fatal" news; Bellini! the glorious composer of the noble work that' had so delighted me n few hours, before! So admirable an artist—so young—so .much honored and beloved!- l could bay.' went with Francilla. After a lew moments’ silence, she wiped her eyes, then rose, and took a volume from the' table. It was her album, for which ! had sent her a drawing—a, sketch of her fair self as Romeo, at the moment when Juliet; calls on liis name in the toinb, while lie thinks it the voice of an.angel from the skies. We turned over tile leaves of the album, lin gering as we came to the different autographs. Fjahcilla’s sort, languishing eyes kindled with haughty fire as we noted the bold, rude charac ters traced by the hand of Judith Pasta; and when we came, to .the signature of Countess -Rossi,■herrex-pressivefeaturei! were lighted with a tender smile.'- A. . , One letter was written by her Uncle Pixis in Prague. She stopped to give 'me'an account of liie family, Turning the leaves and talking rapidly, she paused of a sudden, and I saw two names recorded opposite each other—those of '\Mcerizd,Bellini and Bellini 'liad written a passage trork Capuletti.' ' ■ t signed foir ine toi’givejbor iny pencil —it yrtß one she had a -large cioss under Bellinfis signature, Herlriok. ■ was iityensely significant.',Herysifence ->was ‘ strangely prolonged/ At last I asked, merely to say sotiSething: “Why is'ite'Rraricilla, that, in the last act of the Capuletti; you use Vaccai’s nnisic instead of-Bellini’s? Bellini’s compo sition, os a whole, is superior, and the .close far more touching. I never could understand why • a celebrated vocalist like yourself should prefer the tamer Close of Vaccai.” ~ Francilla .looked earnestly/in my face; but did not answer for some time; At length,fixing her eyeson- the cross she had ■ pencilled, she ; said, in-a,- tone of deepest solemnity: “ I will tell you a story, my friend, and you will see I then how much our poor friend suffered. < Neither Maria nor I could sing his last act; you shall know wliy.” “Madaine Malibran, too ?’’l exclaimed. _ She interrupted me with a gesture enjoining silence. “You know,” she said, “though of fair complexion and blue eyes, Bellini was bom at the foot of iEtna. You have yourself described him ,to me-as effeminate and a littlefoppish; but 'lie was a genuine son of Sicily, and he glowed With the warmth of the south, notwithstanding his gentleness and weakness. This was a won derful nature of his! It Was not like Sicily’s volcano, . spread over . luxuriantj meadows, through woods and. snow-fields, across ailava waste to the brink of the fiery abyss; nor was it like the Hecla of your own land, where eternal fire burns Under eternal ice. He reminded me of an English garden tastefully laid out, with smooth walks and quiet streams, delicate flowers and quaint fountains and fluted shafts; beneath which glowed an abyss of. fire! That was Bellini; under his senti mental culture burned a quenchless flame—the love of art, fed by auotlierlove—for Malibran!” “ You amaze me, Francilla,” I exclaimed. “His passion for ait was .one'for Maria, too. How could he help it? Was it not she who inspired his wondrous creations with their irresistible charm ? Was she not his soul of all other'performers in the operas? .‘.Wliat will ‘Malibran say to it ?’ was Bellini’s question con cerning everything he composed. She was his : queen of art, his muse,yds "ideal 1 Life with ■ out her was gloom. How can Malibran survive him? Your own imagination, Francilla,” I Said, “weaves this pretty romance. You know : Malibran married M. Beriot.” . ■ “Do I not remember how the news of that marriage affected Vincenzo?” she retorted. “How pale he grew, how lie trembled, and left the company in silence! Yet lie could not have hoped to win Malibran : for she always treated him as a boy, tliough lie was a year older than herself. But lie could not have dreamed she would marry M. Beriot, who was at one time distracted for Madame Sontag.” With a pause she went on: “Bellini avoided both Maria and her husband after- the mar- riage. If lie saw M. Beriot, lie went out of the way—very wisely.;, for in case of an encounter lie might have been tempted—-after the Sicilian ; fashion—you understand?” And with flashing eyes she swung her ami as one ivho gives a' dagger-thrust. ; >“1 understand the pantomime, my pretty Romeo! But yoiu- fancy carries the thing too far.” “No one knows what might have happened,” she said, “in spite of Vincenzo’s soft heart. It was well Malibran left Paris and went to Italy. Bellinijiever confided his secret to any one; but it became suspected among his friends. And Malibran must have heard of it; for she suddenly became reluctant to sing in any of Bellini’s pieces. She , continued, however, to represent “Romeo;” she could not give up that part. When the last representation of the Capuletti was given in Milan, it happened that, In the final act.-wlien “Romeo” takes the poi son, such a death-like shuddering seized Maria’s frame, it was with great difficulty she could go through with the part. After the performance was over, she was greatly exhausted; and with temotion she declared that-no power on earth should compel her to sing again the “Romeo” of Belluii. She adopted the part as composed by Vaccai. But she was not satisfied with that, and afterwards she returned to poor Bel lini’s music so far as to retain the first acts of the opera. The last act she.always sang as Vac-- eai wrote it.” . ini.-'. uk ; ; • “What said Vincenzo to this ?” ; “When lie heard of it he fell into the deepest despondency. He would neither write nor tliirik anything more; he seemed at times to JorgetAnmself, and smiled-and talked like a man who had lost his reason. All liis friends noticed and lamented the change. ' r : “One day Lablache came to see him. He found Bellini lyirig listless on the sofa, pale, de pressed, miserable, his eyes half-closed,. .In different', to'every one. The giant sinder went up to him, Opened',his. big mouth, and roared out 1 “Halloa, Bellini! what are you lying there for, like an idle lout of a lazzaroni on the. Molo, weary of doing nothing! Get up and go to work! Paris, France, all Europe is full : - ' “.‘Silence !’-roared Lablache. ‘Yoif are a fool! Do you think Ido not' know where the shoe pinches ?’ “Bellini colored deeply and cast down liis v “‘Have you nothing' to say, Bellini?’ con tinued Lablache. ‘Don’t look so stupidly, like an apprehended school-boy!’ ■„ .. . i “Vincenzo sighed piteously. ‘lf you know allVlie replied;"‘yo(t ';know tliat nIo; will sing nothing of my music!’ ■ . “Lablache ■ came closer, grasped the .shoulders of the young composer in his power ful hands, lifted him from the cushions of-the Stfa to liis feet, and gave, him a.good: shakiim! Then, as liebeleasedbihi, he said, with tiashiiT"- eyes ° • : “ ‘You shall hear, me sing somoHim" of .yours.’. _He began the aUei/ip tq the duet from” X Pitritani, ‘Suoni la tromba e ititrepida.’ His stentorian voice rang like a clarion or a martial shout.- The , flush ,of enthusiasm rushed to Bellini’s pale face; the team; 'sjumig into his eyes; at length lie threw hirnselfmto"Lablatthe’s arms, and joined liis voice in the splendid song.

I replied, “Francilla has been telling me of Bellini's unhappy love for Malibran.” “Do-not believe a word of it!” cried Pixis, laughing. “She will get ybu up a fine romance on that chapter.” ■ ' y I had my doubts of its truth; yet the fact is indisputable that Bellini was always in love. Here the pretty artist, Mascliinka Schneider, came in and the corivereation was of the rep resentation of the Capuletti already an nounced. I gave advice as to, improvements I in the arrangement of the scenes. I could not help remembering the sad tale my little friend had told me. I thought of it again when; a year afterward, I read in the newspapers that Malibran had died at Man chester - on the 23d of September, the same I day on which Bellini had expired a year be- I fore.. ..... SIAVJtItY IK A BRITISH COLONY. The Importation oi South Sea Islanders into Australia. A member of -the English House of Com mons (Mr. Taylor) rose in that body on the 29th of June last, and asked the Under-Secre tary of State for the Colonies whether iiis attention had been - called to the great dis satisfaction prevailing in Queensland in regard to the system of importation of South Sea Islanders into that colony; whether lie was aware .that this' system was described as practically no better than a legalized slave trade; that the natives were in many cases inveigled On board under false pretences, of kidnapped by force ; and whether he would lay on the table any correspondence on tlie subject. The gentleman proceeded to quote ! passages from the Sydney Herald, from the Sydney corres pondent of the TimeSj and others, to prove that the condition of a large proportion of the colored people was one of slavery; that many of them had been inveigled into their present position by false representations, andbtliers had been stolen from then native land, while the cruelties they suffered on board the transports might fairly be compared with the horrors of what was known as ‘the middle passage,’ &c. The member proceeded to read a letter from a Scotch missionary of high cha racter addressed to Commodore Lambert,, the commander of the Australian squadron, in reference to that traffic. The writer concluded his appeal to the Commodore by enclosing a list of the names of certain islanders who had been kidnapped and taken to Queensland, in order to assist in their discovery at Queensland, with a view to their being rescued and sent back to their native land, from which they had been abducted by aimed ruffians. The Government ought to demand that there should be a government depot at the place to which these poor people were sent, and that a proper proportion of women should be sent with them.' Then tjie expense and the difficulties attending that unhallowed traffic, would be so great that it,would come to an end. At the time when the late Colonial office was sanctioning that traffic the late Foreign Office was issuing a most masterly and just denunciation of the whole affair. He trusted that the present Foreign Office would in that respectfoliowjn the steps of their predecessors; and also that the present'Colonial Office woidd free themselves, from the trammels which had bound their predecessors. Having quoted further official correspondence in confirmation of liis statements, and, showed that the French government had addressed a remonstrance to LerjMajesty’s- government-against-that-traffic,- the gentleman combatted the argument that the Polynesians and South Sea Islanders Were morally benefited by that system. He main tained, on the contrary,that when they brought uncivilized barbarians into contact with tire rude, fringes;of civilization-in outlying settle ments, nothing but demoralization ensued. He therefore earnestly trusted that the government would put an immediate stop to a most nefarious, traffic so compromising to the honor of,a country which boasted of having abolished slavery, so dangerous to the friendli ness of our foreign relations, so sure in the long run to destroy the prosperity of a line colony, and so ruinous to all attempts made by our missionaries to’Christianize and civilize these unhappy islanders themselves. ; Another member of the House (Mr. Fowler) read the following letter on the same subject: “The government officers, including the magistrates, are partially under the control of influential men, some of wlioni are' employers of colored labor, and can be seriously affected in '.their appointments. The ships carry very few white meii, and employ Polynesian sailors. The. magistrates have practically rejected native evidence. A proof by native evidence only would, therefore, not be a legal proof; 'and any one could be, I take it, prosecuted for libel for exposing a crime. The conduct and expense and responsibility will have to be boiiie by'private'persons; the police and crowd lawyers cannot be obtained With facility. A strong, feeling of hostility exists against those 1 who advocate the Claims of the Polynesians. My own opinion ‘still is, that very many come here not of tlveir own Tree will. I have formed tlve opinion that very'often,, if not always, it will Ijefonnd that natives, with many of qualities •of the savage are associated with the recruiting, agent as coxswains in command. of his, .boats, and,' if./speitking a little English, acting .as interpreters, ready to tell .any .untruth that lie requires.”"' ‘ . ; A &ocd deal of discussion followed, hut nothing 'was ofl'efed in direct contrbversWlS’' the , 'above statements, and the faetthefelbre' remains that Great Britain permits; if slies does not'encourage,a traffic in lier colonies quite ns immoral as theiCoolie or even the African slave trade,-..; ■■",•;/ ;"■• "i '.

Xtie Engiiih Artiaana at the Cornell lint. .... ' .. The New York correspondent of the Syra cuse Journal describes an interview with the young ' English workmen = who have arrived here for the purpose of entering Cornell Uni versity : yi . -y ■ “The English Partisan students,’ as the Lon don. paperastyledthem.were Jourteeninnum ber. Of the whole number, two or three are approaching middle age. Six of them are, married men,, four having children. Tliey| represent the various branches of the bu®ing: trades—masons, carpenters, bricklayers, plas-g terers, &c.—and are imdonbtedly among best of craftsmen. All are marked men amdH| their fellows; representatives of a class hardly known in this country, possessed of marked original capacity, most of them extensively read, thorough and probably extreme radicals, in English politics at least, dogmatic, as Eng lishmen usually are; and yet, with so profound an admiration for America , as to, .insure that none of them; are likely to .offend by John Bull’s usual trait when first here—a constant declaration tliat ‘there’s nothin’ ’em, you know, like the old country, you know! Everything is so blareted new, you know.’ “ It is the purpose of some half dozen of the younger men to enter the University at the earliest moment. The movement which sent these nieAhere : was directed iii London’by the honorable' Auberon Herbert, brother of the Earl Camavon—the latter a leading tory, and the former an active liberal. There was more fuss made about their project than the man wanted. The one I came to meet is a young man whose knowledge of America and Ameri can affairs is very accurate. He informs me that the .emigration movement has become almost a perfect furor,, so much so that bogus societies are springing up all over, Great Britain, whose projectors are trying to live on the skirts of it. The very best'of the industrial classes .are turning hitherward, and anything like a systematic distribution of authentic informa tion would very largely increase its volume. : There is one very desirable class turning here, that hitherto have mostly gone to the British ; colonies. I refer to the young farmers and farmers’ sons, who have means enough to stock and hold a Western homestead. There is great need of a simple, straightforward guide hook, describing all the States, and . especially giving information as to the prices of labor, living and travel. As is already known the ; mechanics and artisans are coming in large i numbers. “Among the Cornell party’ are several who were active workers in the Reform League • movements of the past three years. I took oc casion tel learn their views,on the present Irish Church agitation, and the, radical ideas as to 1 the course of the Ministry. By the teifm ‘radi- , ! -cal’ I mean democratic, as contrasted withmere i liberalism. It is evident, from the ' statements, i made by men shrewd, and’ well posted; that Mry Gladstone receives the cordial .support of. the , great body of ;the t\ urking-clnss politicians.; !' - “On the arrival of this party I was informed of a curious fact of 'a personal character,, which ; deserves narrating. When in England two : years ago, .1 was greatly annoyed by the failure of ail letters'from home after the brat one re- I ceived. This failure hastened my return seve .. : ral weeks. After I had reached home, friends in London received a- bati:h *of American -let .

I)., Chuinnan fixer,utleeCoinmiltee —Beak Sir: Your letter of Jnyltatloir to me to be, present at a convention of Irish Republi cans, proposed to be held at Chicago OR the sth of July hist., for tjie purpose of ,giving expres sion tottieir/urialteiahlcfidelity toßopublicaa principles, is received. I regret tliat circum stances render it impossible be one of your number. ' I .'shall, i though, bo fully in sympathy with the aims of that conven tion, as I understaiidtliem to be to enlighten our poor countrymen on what they owe to free America to-day. AVe wOI hold , a very unen viable place hi American history unless we. quickly indorse the doctrine of equal rights for all men before the law, w ithout discrimination because of creed, nationality or color. Those of us who are Catholics should be the very first to occept tbe fundamental principle of equality; and, surely, all of us, sis Irishmen, ought to be known to the American people as ardent ad vocates of fair play, in , some return for the share w e have in- the liappiijess, prosperity and justice of this great people. .* / \. It would hardly lie believed by our, friends in the old land that their expatriated country men are scarcclylanded on itliese* chores ere they attach' themselves to the service of a party whicli would, eveii now, again reduce to bond age and chains arace whose rights are just se cured by a bloody war and the expenditure of almost inestimable treasure. Our countrymen have not, nor had they, any pecuniary interest in the “foul thing;:’ yet there are many; of them still acting and speaking as though it were, the mission of their lives to re-establish tliat infa mous system, slavery, iri tbis the land of their adoption. I look, though, for great iresults for our peo ple from the deliberations of so large and intel ligent a body of Irishmen as will assemble in Chicago on the sth of July. I trust that great harmony will characteiize the meeting, and that the address which will, doubtless, come' thence will be one of which we may be lauda blv proud, as it shall give evidence that there are more than aTfevy of us who will not bow the knee to Baal, 1 mean to slave-loving aris tocracy and its devotees, I look, also, to see, .Republicans multiplied among he; ; for without : doubt, all' those who will meet at the Convention will charge them r selves to use tlieirmost strenuous efforts; on their return to their: respective homes, to re move the scandal our people present to-day to the fredmeh of this land. {\ ’, I -; : ■!, Accept my best - wishes for your entire suc cess, and believe me, '> Yours, in all sincerity and truth, ’ ’’ ’ SYLVESTER From our late editions of Yesterday BytUeAtiunttcCaMe.

Kveolna Bulletin.] y W ashinuton, July Id—A delecation of leading Republicans have arrived, here from Mississippi for the purpose of consulting with the party leaders about political matters in , their State. They sriy. that; ithe, movement to make Judge Dent Governor has no real support wliatever among the Republicans, not a single Republican journal having hoisted his name, and that he is doomed to defeat. Every Derno . cratic paper in Mississippi favors Dent’s nomi nation, and gives circulation to the report that General Grant will throw his influence against the Radical candidate. The delegation, since their arrival here, have bad interviews with Secretary Boutwefi, Attorney-General Hoar arid Postmaster General Creswell, and from 'each have Hie most positive assurances of their unqualified disapproval of the Dent movement, they regarding it as an attempt to create a division in the Republican party of that State, by which the Democrats expect to regain power. The delegation are also assured that Presi dent Grant does riot sympathize .with .this at tempt to force Judge Dent upon the people of the State, under the pretence of liaving lus aid, and that he advised Judge Dent against permitting his name totie used. It is the pur pose of the delegation to remain here until the return of President Grant in, order to obtain from him an expression of life’ views concern ing affairs in the South. .■ > COMMISSIONED WADE’S REPORT. " Ex-Senator Wade, one Of the Government Directors of the Union Pacific Pailr oau, reached here on' Satiuday, and was closeted for some time this afternoon with Secretary Uox about the condition in which he found the road during his recent examination. It is probable that he will make an official report at an early day regarding the same. From Imng Braneli. ; Long Branch, July 19th.— President Grant and party arrived, at- Port M9 nHIOU H? ®his morning, on the steamer Tallapoosa, andwere received nt:the wharf by a number of citizens.
