M) limits will not percale me to do' more than riOte do:rn the leaning incidents of his life, from an ex. cellent biographical sketch before me.

He read lave with his father ; mid in 1792 was called to the bar. His conduct ,was marked; by an anxious desire to force himself info professional employment, but be could -never suc. teed in making a beginning. His literary life may be dividedinto • three-epochs: that during 'which be 4ehie.ved Poetical fame, from 1796 to the publication' of `'! - Wltireilk" in 1814 ; the period of the celebrity- of his novels, during which they fal• lowed- each-other in brilliant and rapid,aacces- siert, from' the publication of " Waverly" to :the bankruptcy of Constable in I 626; and the period of his herculean strug,gle, to re-adjust his shattered affairs; till: i.e sunk overtasked into premature grave . . in 1832.. • lie was made - Sheriff' of. Selkirkshire in 1799, and in 1806 he way appointed a clerk of the Court ofSessions; These offices, which were, lucrative, left a large .proportion of time at his disposal. In addition to these soqices of income, he received moderate fOrtune with his wife, and succeeded to ". a landed property on the death of an uncle: Thus he was o=o, in the early part of his literary ca. • reer, iq perfect independence. The first original publication of Scat was hiti "Voider Miniirelsyr ' which was in 1805 succeediSEl by "The Lay Oftlie Last 'Minstrel." This poem wasfollowed In 3808. by "Marmion;" in-1800 by " The 144' of the Lake ;;',ln 1811 by Don Roderick;" in'lBl4 by "The Lord,,iiif, the Isles." These poems took -the - literary world by surprise; they - were unlike any thing that had .preeeded them. The suc4eis of Miss Edgeworth's " Pictures of Trish*Life,"and his consciousness of extensive pc- Anaintance with the - manners - and customs of Scot.- ritimulated Scott to make the attempt prose compositions, and in - 1814 he published anon) , mdusly " Waverty.". The hook made its: way 'rapidly into a high place in public estimation.

Webb was extremely anxious to be appointed Minister to Berlin; and was figuring around Washington for some time before the mug. oration 'of Gen.

But we are told that the mahogany stock gentlemen became satisfied after a short sojourn at the national capital, that he was despised by even the hontirable and influential men of his own party. We nee rejoiced to learn that the divisions Which have hitherto exulted in the Democratic ranks in the State of :New York, are rapidly disappearieg.

We cannot hope to succeed 'nulls our present division.. By. goner should bo buried in oblivion, and s cordial reunion of the Democratic party, open the well-de fined and true principles of Republicanism, should at once take place. Hatred and passion should be merged into a etssmon love for principle. If men will only consent to reason instead of giving nip to passion, our glorious party may once more be uni ted, and rendered more vigorous and powerful from its former distraction and defeat:" Beautiful and Eloquent Figure The Hon. Mr. Hop tins, speaker of the Virginia Legislaturu, in his "speech welcoming El President Polk to the .. Old Dortiinion," most beautifully ob served : I may sty that, previous to your adminis tration, the setting sun of Heavett never cast his last evening rays upon the confines of our glorloue Union.
