A> range of, stabling Still ex ists, but in a dilapidated state; and a belfry o ver’ the coach-house still marks the place as having been once a gentleman’s Residence. ~ The . farm-house called c <triegories,”/as.in Burke’s time, is in, good preservation; and the estato which once owned the care of ohe of the most practical dfagriculturists'andgreatestdf then, is now in the occupation of a Buckinghamshire yeoman, i- ■/ This domain Burke became possessed of in the year 1768. In a letter to. an early friend, he writes: “I have just made a push With ail T could eoUeet.offfiy own, andthe aid of my , friends, to cast a little root in this country. I , have purchased a honse,.with an estate of about six hundred acres of land; in Buckinghamshire, ' twenty-four miles from London. . It, is a place exceedingly pleasapt arid, I God wrilUsg, to become a farmer in good -earnest.” Many conjectures have been, formed as to the sourcefromwhich Burke derived the money ; to pay for so considerable a property. It has been more than insinuated that the,Binds were the wages of corruptloni/He-Was known to be a poor man, and he. was-suddenly;, trans; formed into a landed proprietor, with a park and mansion,’ entertaining/his. friends, with:’ liberality, and able 'to lake , his position with' the aristocracy of the county. Johnson-was one of his first friends who visited him' at his: country seat; and on surveying his flue estate and well-appointed establishment; exclaimed, " katti tquiiem iaviieo, miror magis.” Car ing little for country life.he viewed hid friend's seat, nevertheless, withpridi/'mixed,undoubt. ediy with a Utile astonishment; but As knew him too well to suppose that such a change of fortune could have afisenfrom any , sacrifice of personal or political integrity. . - , , - . •An explanation of ,-this rather mysterious change in Burke's position has been supplied by the correspondence published by Earl Fits,-, william. ' Burke was at the time of this pur chase private secretary to the Marquis,of Rock ingham, and they .were; op’terms,’,of'the strictest friendship. -The Marquis early ac quire,■* 3 knowiedge.of the, (Jreat qualities'of Burke’s mind.and character.’, The. State Papers which Burke wrote for the use of the Whig party marked Win oiit as its guiding anti governing Bpirit. Lord Rockingham felt him self under the deepest 1 obligations to bis able and brilliant secretary; and hi) determined to -requite hlmin a waythatwonldsecure utonce his , private and political independence, and give him a statue In social life, that, should W .in some degree proportionate to the dignity.of his character and his grert -intellectual pre eminence. He advanced him a considerable tpum, and took, a: bond for its repayment. In. fom.it was aloan, in/ substance a gift; and so it was deubtiess understood ihy both: It was a transaction which only, great ( and .noble minds could participate' in ’ and ’comprehend. On the death of the Marquis the bond; was found cancelled among his'’papers;’ ait act which was probably performed by the generous peer before the ,ink had dried bn the Signature. Near the' spot where Burke’s mansion, , stood ia.-ari extensive wo rid ’ ‘or grove," with walks cut. through., it in,various directions. ..It formed.a part of the pleasure/grounds, . . and was, evidently iaip ’otat'with- an' we to' beauty and .effect, It is .now,.a, tangled wil derness, choked with nettles and bverrun with briars with which the IroCe still struggles in. wild unregulated groWth/arid/where fragrant, creepers climb ;the, tallest ,frees, ..arid, year after year put’ forth arid shed their flowers in. unheeded profusion.

In this once neautiful. hut now desolate and oppressive re treat, the great statesman .was accustomed to walk, and rejoico In his temporary escape from the hot atmosphere-of- politics and the vexa tions of public life' taking, doubtless, occa sionally a complacent survey of his well-biiiti-' vated fields through openings in . the. surrouiid : Ing trees.

He was seldom more intent on any subject than when discussing questions of ag riculture wlth practical farmers in his neigh borhood, walking over their lands and winning their respect and regard, as 'veil by the know ledge" he displayed of all the details of tlieir 'profession, us by tho plainness and courtesy of his manners.” f “’l have been a farmer (Bnrko himself wriies) for twenty-seven years, and it .is a tradothe most precarious in its advantages, the most liable to losses, and the least profit able of any that is Carried’on."' It requires ten times' more of labor, of vigilance, of at fention, of skill,' and, let me add, of good fortjme; also, to carry on the business with success, than what belongs to any other trade,”* ‘ He’was an .experimental as well as a practi cal farmer, and like others of that class, aome times failed in his experiments. He corres ponded with Arthur. Young; discussed with him the merits of deep ploughing and of drill cultivation; Inquired why he had failed in an attempt to fatten pigs on carrots, with which vegetable; however, lie was more successful in Covent-gardeh market,’ whither he sent two wagon loads, “of amost aromatic smell,firm,, and admirably tasted;” for which he realized six pounds fifteen shillings, paying him bettor than the. finest crop oi wheat, and the back carriage of coal ashes paying expenses! In explaining at a particular crisis the cause of a general rise in the price of commodities, he writes: . ■ „ ,< “Ais to the lesser articles, they are like the greater; they have followed the fortune of, the season.' 'Why are fowls.so dear ? I sold tVom iiiy yard to a jobber, six young lean fowls for four-and-tWenty shillings— fowlsfor which, two years ago, the same map would not have given a shilling a-pieco. He sold them afterwards at Uxbridge, and they were taken to London to receive the last hand W Biirko was. one ,of. the earliest of political economists. Ho. appears to have had. an in tuitive . perception of the truth of the great principles .of tho science, aud he embraced every opportunity of illustrating and enforcing them, |lt is recorded of Adam Smith, that on his, return to Scotland froma visit to London, he declared’.that Burkeydf aUthfepublic men with whom'he conversed, was the only pne | who could' comprehend, or be Induced to iako .the slightest interest ih, his theories. We cannot resist the inclination to transcribe, In' illustration of this remark, an admirable passage from the paper to which we have be fore referred, in which ho proves the interests of the farmer and the laborer to be Identical: “In the case of i the farmer,and the laborer, their.' interests are alwaya the same, and it is absolutely'impossible that their free contracts cpn.be i onerous to either party.. It is the in terest'of the farmer that his work should be done with .effect and celerity; and that can not be unless the laborer is well fed, and otherwise found with such necessaries of animali life, according to his habitudes, as may, keep the body in full force,, and the fail'd gay and cheerftil. For of all the instruments of liis, trade, the labor of man (what the ancient writers, have called , the instrumentum vocah) is that one on which he is most to rely for tho repayment of his capi tal., The other two, the semivocale in this ancient classification—-that is, the working stock of cattle-rand the iristrumentum niutum, BUCh as carts, ploughs, spades, and so forth, though not at all inconsiderable .themselves, .are very much inferior in utility or in expense; or,, without a given portion of tho first are nothing at all. For in all things whatever, tho mind is the most valuable and most im portant ;• and in this scale the whole of agri culture! is in a natural and just order: the boast is as an informing principle to the plough and cari > the laborer is as reason to tho bcaßt; and the fanner ia aa a thinking and presiding principle to the laborer an attempt to break this chain "of subordination in any, part Is equally absurd; but the absurdity is mostmis chievoiis in practical operation, where it is the most easy—that is, the most subject to an er roneous judgment. . “It Is plainly more the farmer’s interest that his men should' thrive, than that his horses should be .well fod,. slick, plump, and fit for use, or than that bis wagon and ploughs should be strong, ih good repair, and fit for service. “ On the other hand, if the farmer cease to profit of the laborer and that his capital is not'continually manured and fructified, it is impossible that he should continue that abun dant nutriment and . clothing and lodging pro per for the protection of tho instruments he employs. “.It Is therefore tho first aud fundamental interest of the laborer that the farmer should have a full incoming proflt.of Ms labor. The proposition is, self-evident, and nothing but the malignity, perverseness, and ill-governed passions of mankind, and particularly tho envy i they bqar to. each other’B prosperity, could prevent their seeing and acknowledging it, with thankfiilness to the wise and benign Dis poser of all things, who obliges men, whether they will or not, in pursuing their own selfish interests, to connect the general good with their own individual success.. There ate still a few' old people living at Beaconsfleld who remember Mr., or Squire Burke, as he is traditionally spoken of there. His poorer neighbors knew him. only as the country gentleman,' the indulgent landlord, the sympathizing friend, .the generous bene factor. , There was something peculiarly grateful to, Burke in frequent Intercourse with tfie poor. It enlarged his knowledge of human - character, and enabled him to speak with authority, on many questions af fecting tho interests of . the humbler, classes; and he never lost an opportunity of probing their minds, or hesitated “to survey the man sions of sorrow and pain—to take.tho gunge aud dimensions of misery, depression and con tempt.” The simple people of his neighbor hood appear to have but a faint conception of the greatness of the man who so familiarly conversed with them.' They often heard in deed that he received “ great people” in his hpusebut who or what Mr. Burke was be yond the limits of.Beaconsfleld, they little cared to know or to Inquire. No knowledge of his fame could have increased tlici>- attach ment to his person, and his importance in their estimation was sufficiently symbolized in thecarriage and fonr horses” by which he sometiniestook his journeys to the metropolis. ' Early in the year 1797, Burke removed fi'om Beaconsfleld to Bath, for the benefit of tho waters; but the hand of death was then upon hiin, and lie returned to his sent in May only-to dio. The toils and contentions of public’ life had. long shattered his health, and Ms spirits never recovered the shock which they sustained by the death of his son. “The storm,” ho says, In the agony of his grief,« has gone over me, and ,1 lie like one of those oaks which tho late hurricane has scattered about me. I am stripped of all my honors, I am torn up by the roots, and lie prostrate on the earth!” Bcaconsfleld was to him no more the delightful abode of cheerful moss and rural cares, but “an obscure and melancholy retreat,” in which, “a- desolate old man,” ho wished to hide himself from the world and dio. “ I have Been,” he wrote with touching pathos, “at Bath these four months to no purpose, and am therefore to be re moved to my own houso at Beaconsflold to. morrow, to ; be nearer to ft habitation more permanent; humbly and fearfnlly hoping that my better part may find abettermansioii.” lie expired on July 9tli. “His end,” said Dr. Lau rence, “was suited to the simple greatness of ,his mind Which ho displayed through life. Ho appeared neither to wish nor dread, but patient ly and placjdly to await the appointed hour of his dissolution,” Ho prohibited by his will all posthumous Honors; assigning as a reason j that ho had had in his lifetime, “too mueli of noise and compliment.” Fox, to his honor, proposed a public, fbneral, which would have been unanimously voted by the House of Com mons but for the, injunction of tho departed statesman. He had requested to bo buried in ■ tba church of Bcaconsfleld, close to the bodies of. his son and brother. On a calm summer afternoon, when the slant ing rays of the declining sun were gilding tho little spite of Bcaconsfleld church, nnd pouring a'mild radiance over the surrounding country; a walking procession moved slowly through the village. The remains of tho great statesman had been taken the evening before from his seat to tlie town,'for the convenience of the attendants. Seventy members of (lie benefit society which he patronized, clad In mourning, led tho way. The pall wus borne by some of tho ; most illustrious men of the day, in the list of whom, however, we discover with pain tho omission of the name of Fox. Laborers from ' far and wide crowded the churchyard and Its approaches, and tho grief of tho poor was au • dibly' expressed; and' amidst the profound sorrowof all classes, the body of tho greatest man of that, or perhaps of any age, Was con signed to the tomb. Burke had further expressed in his will a desire, that no public monument should be erected to his memory, bnt that only a plain ' tablet aud inscription should mark the place pf his interment. It was characteristic of the : nobility of his mind, and of the unaffected simplicity of his nature. We cannot, how -1 ever, admit that tlie nation Is bound in per i petulty to defer tho expressed wishes of any i public man on the question of, public honors. . Great -political characters; as they are the i guide-posts and land.marks of the State while i living, become, when dead, by inheritance,' emphatically the property of the people; and ’ they had a right to require that tho reputation ■ which has been gained in' their service, and i the fame which they have awarded, , shall be i perpetuated ina manner ■ moH fa accordance 1 .witn.iheir feelings' and' their, instincts. ‘ The - mind of Burke is imperisliably enshrined in his 1 Works ;butwe ask, and we shall not ask Invain, • that ourselves and our posterity shall be por i mltted to scan the features of the great orator as a wrought fa the, pale' marble,’and to worship : at the.visible shrine bfsnch lofty intellects and [. almoitunprecedented excellencies. -We know not whether a' statue is designed for Burke fa • ibe palace of Westminster, bnt the Abbey Is 1 t*( e OT°PC r Place for his earthly canonization. ■ If public honors have been too’ often awarded C partial »n .sr'l}' ,c.'!>j i V.rd meii, giving a of —if ephemeral p6Hticians, ihe'foint lights of their, day, now extinguished forever, viewed through a deceptive medium, have had their proportions exaggerated and belied,—if men marked by no originality of geuius, or grandeur or elevation of mind, have been exalted into national bcppfactors and endowed with a facti tious immortality,—what honors can bo felt sufficient to mark and perpetuate our admira tion of that great luminary that even yet warms the political atmosphere with the rays of his departed glory, and whoso light will never be come totally extinct but with that of civilization and freedom. The peculiarity of' Burke’s genius has been too often discussed to need any additional elu-; delation; and it is not our intention to enter here upon a subject so thoroughly exhausted. Notwithstanding the vast superiority of his knowledge, his laborious life, and eminent public services, he never attained, as is well known, a seat iu the Cabinet; and when Ins party acquired for a short time possession of power, ho was placed in a subordinate office in the Government. The unbending rectitude of his mind and the loftiness of his character un fitted him for co-operating cordially with ordi nary men. Ho was doubtless regarded as «impracticable;?* a term of peculiar signifi cance and reproach among certain politicians. « Too fond of the right to pursue the expe dient/’ he would have disdained the compro mises to which public men are oftet/obliged to resort to maintain themselves iu power, and even to carry on the ordinary operations of government. It is the nature of repre sentative institutions to lower in a con siderable degree the standard of political morality; and in the conflict of parties and the struggles for pre-eminence in a popular assembly, the interest of the State and the object <jf government itself too often appear to be cast aside or forgotten. History teems with examples of the selfishness of party spirit' and its unprincipled combinations, and wo have too often seen in our own day that the virus of faction is constantly working in even tho best of consiitutions, and threaten ing it either with chronic disease or to bring it to premature decay. We see no remedy but In tho greater diffusion of political know ledge, in interesting larger portions of the community in the concerns of the State, and perhaps in extending tho franchise, and thus enlarging the tribunal to which public men are responsible for their conduct and their votes. A study of the character of Burke would be one of the bbst correctives of the infirmi ties and short-comings of public men. His political writings abound in wisdom clothed in all the splendor of eloquence, they are stamped with true greatness of soul, and the highest minds will forever draw’ from them their noblest thoughts, their purest princi ples, their profouudest convictions. Thus genius if it too often fails in its conflict with tho present, asserts its dominion over the fu ture. To it belongs the task of forming tho mind of unborn generations, of extending its influence into distant ages, and perhaps con tributing at somo ftiture period to form a legislature that will submit itself entirely to the guidance of principle, and thus vindicate for itself the groat prerogative of “teaching the nations how to live.” Nor is there anything, in the private life of Burke, as in those of,- some of his illustrious cotemporaries, to' ''qualify the sentiment with which wc must regard him. His home was the abode of every virtue, and while pacing with thoughtful steps the paths so familiar to him at Beaconsfield, we feel that no more political greatness apart from moral superiority could exercise such a permanent influence upon the minds of men, —it is tho purity ot his character, combined with his in tellect and knowldege, that enchains our affec tions and excites our admiration; and if any Sepator who lias drawn lessons of conduct from tho pages of Burke, or meditated in his career, escaping from tho stifling atmosphere of ’Westminster and the din of debate, should seek for a few hours on tho shades of Beacons fleld, and hold in spirit brief communion with tho mighty dead, he will return with his sym pathies enlarged, his motives purified, and his nerves braced for the discharge of every duty which his country may require of him. H. T. FOREIGN ITEMS. The gross public income and expenditure returns pf the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in the year ended the 30th day of June, 1857, shows that the income from tho differ entitems makes a grand total of £72.007.821 19a.- sd. Tho total of tne expenditure was £71,756,710- 12a. JOd. The excess of income over expenditure in tho year was theroforo £311,111 6s. 7a. A high Parliamentary functionary may be said to •bo in difficulties. The House of Com mons is not at nil crushed by its Speaker, There have been too frequent occasions of late whon Parliamentary managers havo been heard to mur mur, “Oh for an hour of gh&w Lefovro l” But it is not every man that has an unimpeachable chest, which is’the grand point of departure in tho gov- A ermaent of bodies at men. It was lately declared in the British Parlia ment that 1851 to 1857, a period of undoubted prosperity, the population of Ireland hnd de creased, principally by emigration, 754.334. Distrust of Lord Palmerston—The Morn ing Btak London journal) speaking of a public ‘meeting‘nbout the Jew question, says : “Of ono thing,'Eowor or, thoro was a very unmiafcakeable demonstration, namely, that the meeting had a most thorough distrust of Lord Palmerston’s sin cerity as a reformer; for when Sir. Morley, who has on many oooosions shown that ho, at least, is not a more tame conventional Whig, but a man of earnest ifnd independontconviotions, declared that ‘ he did i ot believo Lord Palmerston wasslncero in anything,’ ho was interrupted by a loud and ringing dhcer, which was renewed again and again, with tno utmost vehemence. Lord John Russell hardly fared any bettor. A genoral feeling seem ed to prevail that both tbeso statesmen were play ing a re-arranged farce, by which thoy might keep up tho appearance of redeeming their liberal pro mises, hut without the smallest intention of gird ing their loins for a serious confliet with tho Lords.” It adds: ** Wo have no sort of doubt that Lord Palmerston will jockoy them, (the public) and that they will meekly submit to bo jockied.” It appears, by an advertisement in the Lon don papors, that a Imus natural is exciting won dor there. Her naiuo is Julia Pustruva, and she is thus desoribod“ This young lady, tho wonder of the world, supposed by eminent naturalists and physicians to bo a hybrid, wboroin. the nature of woman predominates ovor the ournng-outangs, is very singular; her pose, forehead, and entire face, shoulders, armfc, Ac., are covered with thick black hair. She has no pupil apparent in tbo eye, no cartiluge In the nose, with double gums in the upper and lower jaw, and only ono row of front teeth. Tho lower jaw is much extended, and the angle of the face is very singular. Miss Julio speaks and sings in English and Spanish, and dances the Highland Fling, the Sohottisohc, Ac., Ac., and* has decidedly tho prettiest little hands, feet and ankles, in London. Miss Julia is pleased when tho ladies and gentlemen ask her questions, and examine her pretty whiskers, of which she is very proud.” * l * Whilst in Egypt, Sir Moses Monterlloro was entrusted by his Highness, tho Viceroy, with the care of his only ohild, Toussan Ascher, now four years old. Tho young prince has been sont to Europe for tho benefit of bis health. Ho is accom panied by hifi physician, nurse, and several at tendants. Breach of Promise.— I The Illnstruicd Lon don New* says: “ Another of those repulsive ac tions, founded on tho pecuniary value of woman, has boon tried within the lost few days. This, however, was not ono of tho most oflensivo class, wherein, as has been cleverly said, ‘ when a wo man censes to be good sho becomes goods,’ but a breach of promise case. At ono picnic, among tho Olent hills, a Jady, meets a lover, thoy become on gaged, and sho borrows his monoy in tbo most alTeoUonatd and confiding way At another picnic, in Habborley Valley, she moots another lover, and prefers hun to tho first. The first is incensed, calls on hor, uses bad language, and tears from her neck a watch and chain, aa scourlty for his debt making her .hands bleed in tho struggle. She ro- Jiays him his money, and marries Tier second ad mirer. Tbo first brings his action, and has hor letters read in court But courts look vory coldly on such proceedings now-a-daya, and Mr. Baron Bramwol! summed up in a way which showed his opinion of actions of that kind, and of this ono in particular. Tho jury found a verdict for the de fendants, tho lady and her husband.” Sultanas and their Guardians.—A letter from Constantinople says:—“A gravo affair oe ourred yesterday in tho high street of Peru. M. Uuarraocino, brother of an English consul, hap pened to bo standing at tho doorof a confectioner’s shop, when a enrriage occupied by sultanas, and escorted by several eunuchs, camo up Tbo Turk ish ladies are such coquettes that, in spito of thoir veils, thoy allow themselves to be seen, and even by thoir glances excite admiration. Whether they gavo M. Uuurraccino n glanco or not I do not know, but certain it is that ho appronohed too close to the carriage and looked into it with too much cariosity to please the ounuchs, undone of them struck him with a whip. M. (luarracoino, in return, struck the man with his cane, and the latter drew his sword', tho former endeavored to wrest it from him, and both of them out their fin gers On this the other ounuchs, sword in hand, rushed on M. Quarrnccino, and ho was obliged to take to flight; in running ho fell, nnd tho ounuchs coming up, slabbed him several times in tho back. The eunuchs then continued thoir route, but not until after they had given their names to tho po lice.' M.

Report of the Committed appointed to Superintend the Burning of the Iron Safes at Reading, February 27th, 2857 : Rkading, March 4th. The undersigned, members of the committee, do re •ipeotfully report, that we saw the two Safes originally agrned upon by Parrels Sc Herring and Evans A Watson, placed side by side in a furnace, vis: the Safe in uso by the Paymaster of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail road Company, In his office at Reading, manufactured by Farrols & Herring, and the Safe in use byH. A. Lants, in his storo, manufactured by Evans A Watson, und put in books and papers precisely alike. The fire was started at 8& o’clock, A. SI., and kept up until four cords of green hickory wood, two cords of dry oak and half chestnut-top wood were entirely con sumed. tlio whole under tho superintendence of the subscribers, members of tho committee. The Safes were then cooled off with water, after which they were opened, and the books and papers taken out by the committee ond sent to H. A. Lantz’s store, for public examination, after they were first examined and marked by the committee. The books and papers taken from the Safe manufactured by Evans Sc Watson were but slightly affected by the intense heat, while those taken from the Safe manufactured by Parrels Sc Herring were, in our judgment, damaged fully fifteen per cent, more than those taken from Evans Sc Watson’s Safe. Wo believe the above to have been & fair and impar tial trial of the respective qualities of both Safes. JACOB H. DYSHER, DANIEL S. HUNTER.
