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

General Allen,.during theabsence of Sit RabertDick.
the senior officer. :Great apprehension prevails res

for China from Madras in, September, and has not

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

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

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
