LATEST FROM ENGLAND. The long looked, for steam ship British Queen ar rived at New York on Sunday morning last. She left tiverpoul on the 10th of March, and made the passfigein 24 days She experienced a succession of galesiduring her unusually lung passage, and wo, obliged , to put into Halifax, on the twentieth day out, for a:supply of fuel. She brought about sixty passengers. The Cotton Market at Liverpool was firm, .not withatanding the panic in the money market on ac count of the McLeod affair and the suspension of the Pennsylvania Banks. Tate!McLcon AFFAIR.—The greatest excitement existed in England with reference to the McLeod cif fair; and if faith is to be placed in the statements whibh appear in the English newspapers, war is in evtiable between John Bull and Brother Imaillon. This excitement is in part o-!ing to the receipt. iu Great Britain ot Mr.Tickens' famous report in Con .tress on the state ofpur Foreign Relations. In the, House of Lords, on the evening of the Bth reference to the Congress report, its effect upon the funds, 4cc., was made by the Earl of Mountchasel, who NB disposed to doubt,the authority of the doc ument, and appeared to suspect that it had been got up'for stock jobbing purposes. He thought that, i 4enuilid. a document more violent had never been penneaLby one country respecting another; and he put ihmquestions . to Lord Melbourne whether her Majesty's government considered the document gen uine or not, and whether any official information had been receivel on the subject. Lord Melbourne replied that he was not able to answer those questions, hut he apprehended that co doubt Could be entertained of the authenticity of the ducument. A Siiusnnox onnattEn AmErms.—The Lon don Times and other papers state as a rsitive fat that some part of the squadron, believed to consist of ten sail of the line, ivhith had been engaged on the Coast . of Syria, had been suddenly ordered off the Coast of America. to support the remonstrance of the-British Minister, Mr.. Fox, against the .6 judicial murder of McLeod." INFANTRY FOR,HALTFAZ.—The Times also states, That "three hattnliOns had been put euddeuly under orders for Halifax," and adds, •God knows how the home service of the realm could be furnished after their departure." The Atlas says, rrWar with America .must and will as surely follow upon the murder of McLeod as the light of morning follows the darkness of night— but then this war. will be a war without any definite objeLt, except, revenge for an injury which cannot be atoned." U. S. BLiiric.—The first impression of the news of the suspension of the United states Bank, produced pirate among the stockholders and on the market generally. U. S. Bank stock fell to £4 10s., but in a few days rallied to £5 10s., which is the price quo ted at•the latest dates. The ; London Observer gives the amount of this stock held in Europe at about £3,000,000, or $15,- 000,000 ; and recommends that some mode be adopt ed to ascertain whether the holders of that stock would not desire-that the affairs of the U. S. Bank he wound up. LATER Peon-CHINA Awe LclnA.—Later news hod been received from. China and India, in England, by an extraordinary express. from Marseilles, in antici pation of the regular alierland mail. On the 29th o November, Admiral,Elliot resigned the command o the British Expedition against the. Chinese to Com modore Sir J. J—Gordon Bremer, and made preps rations to return home, in consequence of severe in dispOsition. The Commodore does notseem disposed to be humbugged with the artifices of the Chinese, and is determined to resume hostilities.unmediately. This intelligence has caused great excitement in,Lon dnn, and Tea .has suddenly risen in•price. Tranquility prevailed in India, and the intelligence .3 , the 'express brought nothing of importance from y of the presidenties. The commander in chief of the Madras army, Sir Whittingham, died of apopleky on the 19th ult. Helios been succeeded,ad interim, by Major General Allen,.during theabsence of Sit RabertDick. the senior officer. :Great apprehension prevails res pecting the Golconda transport, which took soldier for China from Madras in, September, and has not been heard of since she passed Singapore. In the'.month of November, Sir Lionel Smith, tb Governor of the Mauritus, found himself obliged fr." the conduct adopted by the French Governor ofEour bon, to issue a proclamation, ordering all the French aliens to i prepare to leave that colony until the qu . tion of peace or war be better decided. The French frigate Mbgicienne Wes lost near Pa [man on the 27th of November. The crew w saved by two English vessels. AND POTTSVILLE GENERAL ADVERTISER. Weekly by Benjamin Batman, Pottsville, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. We were all—Julia, her aunt, and myself, seated at a comfortable fire, on a December evening. The night was dark, starless and rainy, while the drops ; pattered upon the windows, and the wind howled at in:ervals along the house-tope. ' In a word, it was a. gloomy a night as one would wish to see in this, the' most dismal season of the year. Strictly speaking, I should have been at home, for it was Sunday ; and my own habitation was at too great a distance to jus tify a visit of mere ceremony on so sacred a day, and amid such stormy weather., The truth is, I sallied out too seo Julia. I verily. believe I could write a whole volume about her. She came from the north country, arid was at ! this time on • visit to her aunt, in whose house she t resided ; and in whose dining room, at the period of my story, we were all seated round a comfortable!: fire. Though a prodigious admirer of beauty, I am a bid hand to describe it. To do Julia justice, how ever, I must make the attempt. She was rather un der the middle size, .(not much,) blue eyed, auburn haired, fair complexioned, and her shape was of un common elegance and proportion. Neck, bosom, waist, feet, hands, &c., all were perfect, while her nose was a beautiful Grecian, her mouth sweetam itself, and her teeth as white and sparkling aa pearls. In a word, I don't believe that wide Scotland could boast of a prettier girl—to say nothing of merry England and the Isle of Saints. It was at this time about eight oclock: tea had just been over, the tray removed, and the table put to rights. The star of my attraction was seated at one side of the fire, mysef et the opposite, the lady of the house in the centre. We were all in excel lent humour, and Julia and I eyed each other in the most persevering style imaginable. Her aunt indeed • rallied us upon the occasion ; and .1 thought Julia never appeared half so beautiful as now. 'But pleasures are like poppies spread : You seize the flower, its blown is shed. So saith Robert Burns; and truth to speak; distich was never more effectually verified than at this in- eresting Toment. A servant bouncing by acciden into a room where a gallant is on bits knees before his mistress', and in the act of "popping the ques tion," is vexatious. An elderly gentleman losing his hat and wig on a windy day, is vexatious. A young gentleman attempting to spring over a style by way of showing his agility to a bevy of approach ing lathes, and coming plump down, is vexatious, and these things are plagues and annoyances suffi cient to render life a perfect nuisance, and fill the world with innumerable heart-briakings and fek-de ;ser. But bad as they are, they' are nothing to the intolerable vexation -experienced by me, (and I be lieve by Julia too.) oo bearing a slow, loud, solemn stroke of the knocker upon the outer door. It was repeated once—twice—thrice. We heard it simulta tieous--we (to wit, Julia and 1) ceased ogling each other simultaneous. The whole of us suspended our niversation in a moment—looked to the door of the room—breathed hard, and wondered what it could be. The reader will perhaps marvel bow such an impression could he produced by so very trivial a cir cumstance-;. hut if be himself had heard the sound, he would cease to wonder at the strangeness of our feelings. The knocks wete the moat extraordinary ever heard. They were not those pretty„ sharp. brisk. soda-water knocks given by little, bUstling, common-place men. On the contrary, they ;were slow, sondrous, and determinate. Scarcely bad our sot prise time to subside, ih BD we heard the outer door open by the servant—then it closed—then heavy footsteps, one, two, and three were audible in the lobby—then the dinin3,rooni door was oper.ed ; and a form which filled the whole of its ample aperture from top to bottom, from right to left, made its appearance. It was the figure of a man, but language would sink under his immensity. Never in earth, or air, oi ocean, was such a man -- .seen. He was hugeness itself—bulk personified— the beau ideal of amplitude. When the dining-room door was first opened, the glare of the well lighted lobby gleamed in upon us, illuminating our wtiule ,apartment with increase of lustre; but no sooner did he set his foot upon the threshold, than the •lob by light behind him was shut out. He filled the ~ whole, gorge of the door like an enormous, shade. 'The door itself seemed to stand aghast at such a stn ; .endows substitute, and-its yenning aperture shrunk with apprehension lest its jaws should belturn asun- - der-by the entrance of so guest a mass of aMmated materials, Onward, clothed in black, came the moving moun tain, and a very pleasing monster he was. A neck like a rhinocerous sat piled between his o Atlantean shoulders," and bore upon its tuwerdike and sturdy stem, a countenance prepossessing from its good-hs :: moor, and amazing f a its plumpness and rubicundi ,c.ty. His cheeks were swollen out Into billows of fat —his eyes overhung with turgid and most majestic lids, and his chin double, trible, aye guadrufde. As for his mouth— 4. It was enough to win a lady's heart With its bewitching smile." Onward came the moving mountain—Shaking the ioor beneath his tread, filling a tithe of the room with his bulk, and blackening every object with his portentous shadow. I was amazed—l Was confounded— : l was horrified. Not so Julia and her aunt, who far from participa ting in my perturbed emotions, got up from their eats, smiled with a. welcoming nod, and requested him to sit down. Glad to see you, Mr. Tims," said Julia. Glad to see you, Mr. Time, " said her aunt. Mr. Tims ! " Gracious heavens, and was.this the name of the mighty entrant I Tims ! Tiara! Tims !—the thing was impossible. A man with such a name should be able to go into a nut-shell; and here was one that a mountain could scarcely contain! Had he been called Sir Bullion O'Dunder, Sir Theodosius M'Turk, Sir Rugatino Maguificus, Sir Blunderbuss Blarney,,or some other higtksound ing name, I should have been perfectly satisfied. But to be called Time! Upon my honor, I was shocked to hear, it. The .very first principles of uni- . ty L were outraged, and the most atrocious discord substituted in their place. Mr. Time eat him down on the greatelbow chair, for he was a trim:W r it seems, of the family—a.weigh ty- one assuredly.; but one whose acquaintanceship they were ell glad to, court. The ladies, in truth, . Eleemed.much taken with his aociety. They .putfif tit'questions to him about. the play—the assembly— the sermon—marriages—deaths—christenings, and. what not; the whole of which - he answered with snrprising volubility. .His tongue was the only ac tive Tut about him, going as glibly u if he were ten stones, instead of thirty, and as if be were e 71ms in person as well es in name. to s short time SATURDAY MORNING. APRIL 10.1841. From Bladrwaxts Magazine. THE MAN-MOUNTAIN. ,Z,) 9 I found myself totally neglected. Julia ceased to eye me, her aunt to address me, so completely were.their thoughts occupied with the Man-Mountain. • fn about half an hour I began to feel confounded ly uncomfortable.. I was a mere cypher in the room.; • what with the appalling bulk of Mr. Tims, the at tention the ladies bestowed upon him, and the neglect with which they treated me, I sunk considerably in: my own estimation. What was to be done With the ladies it was: plain I could do nothing, with Mr. Time, it was ;equally plain, I ought to do nothing-;—seeing that. however much he was the cause of my uneasiness, he was at least the innocent cause, and therefore mei , ther morally nor judicially amenable to punishment. His offence was unpremeditated ; the reverse of what lswyeis call malice prepense, and consequently not a penal one. It is all very welt, however, to talk of morality and legality. When a man's passions are up, his sense of justice is asleep, and all idea of rec- etude is hidden in the blinded impulstrof indigna tion. From respecting Mr. Tims I came•to Late him ; and I vowed - internally, that, rather than be anniht lated by this enlarged edition of Daniel Lambert, I would pitch him over the window. Had I been a Giant, I am sure I would have done it on the spot. Unfortunately for me, Mr. Time was a mountain, and I was no giant. ,nder these circumstances, there wee no help for !lie but to march ofT, and take myself away from such a scene of annoyance. It was plain, I was no longer the '• lion " of the night, but a feeble star dwindled into the shade before the presence of a more glori. , ous luminary—the ladies ceased to worship at rn) deserted shrine. I accordingly got up. and pretend ing it was necessary that - I should see some person in the next street, abrubtly left the room. Julia—l slid not expect it—saw me to the door. shook hands with me, and said she hoped I would return to sup- per when my business was finished. Sweet girl . was it possible she could prefer the Man Mountain to me Away I went into the opon air. r had no busi ness whatever to perform : it was mere fudge; and I resolved to go home ns fast,as I could. But I did not go home. On the contrary, rolling shout from street to street, sometimes think ing upon Julia, sometimes, upon Mr. Time. Tht night was of the must melancholy description—a cold. cloudy, windy, rainy December night. Not a soul was upon the streets excepting a solitary straggler. returning hither and thither from art evening sermon. or an occasional watchman gliding past with his lan tern, like an incarnation of the Will-o-wisp. I strol led up and down for halt an hour, wrapped in an ol ive great coat, and having a green silk umbrella over my head. It was well I chanced to he so well forti tied against the weather, for bad it been otherwise I must Vase been drenched to the skin. Where went I know not, so deeply was my mind wound ui in its various melancholy cogitations. This, how. ever, I do know, that, after striking against sundry lamp-posts, I found myself precisely ut the,point from which I . set out, viz': at the door of Julia's aunt's husband's house. I paused for a moment, uncertain whether to en ter, and in the mean timemurned my eyes to the window, where, upon the white blind, I 'Beheld tin enormous shadow of a human being. My flesh crept with horror on witnessing this apparition, for I knew it to he the shadow of the Man-Mountain—the dim reflection of Mr. Tim. 'No other human beinc, could cast such a shade. Its proportions were mag nificent, and filled up the whole breadth of the win dow screen ; nay, the shoulders shot away latterly beyond .its utmost limits, and were lost in space, having apparently nothing whereon to cast dm; mighty image. On beholding this vast shade, my mind was filled with a thousand exalted thoughir. I was carried away in imagination to the m utit•cii olitude of the earth. I saw Mont Blanc lilting hii white, bald beOd into cold immensity, and flinging ,the gloom of his gigantic resecce over the wh. sweep of the vale of Clismouni—that vale in wbicl the master-mind of Colendge composed the sut•lirte hymn ever sung by the inspired bard. I was car ried away the far off South sea, where at sunset the Peak of Tenerriffe blackens the ocean for fifteen miles •with his majestic shadow dilated ui on the waves.:' Then the snowy Chimborazo cleaving the sky with his wedge-like shoulders, arose before me ; and she exalted summit of volcanic Cotopaxi—butt clowning the Andes with shade. The Ida, and Pin (ins, and Olympus, were made visible •to my spirit I beheld the fauna and satyrs hounding and dancing in the shadows of these classic mountains, while the Grecian maids walked in beau*, along their sides, singing to their full-toned lyres, and peichance dis-, coursing of love, screened from the noon-tide sun. ' I paused at the door for some time, uncertain whether to enter; at last, my .mind was made up. and I knocked, resolved to '.encounter the Man-Moun tain a second time, and, if possible, recover the lost glances of Julia. On entering the dining room, I fnund on accession to the company in the person of our landlord, who sat opposite to Mr. 'f ims, listening to some facetious story which the latter gentleman seemed in the act of relating. lie had come home during our absence, and, like his wife and her niece. appeared to be fascinated by the eloquence and hu mour of his stout friend. At least, so I judged, for he merely recognized my presence by a slight how, and devoted the whole of his attention to the owner of the mighty shadow. Julia and her aunt were_sim 'lady occupied, and I was more neglected than ever I felt horribly annoyed. There was'a palpable in justice•in the whole case, which to - me was.utterly unendurable; and my wrath boiled over,in fierce but bootless vehemence. The subjects on which the company conversed were various, but the staple theme was love. Mr. Tims related some.of his own love adventures, which were, doubtless, sufficiently amusing, if we may Judge by the shouts of laughtM they elicited from all .the party ; myself .only ex cepted.
