found so in many instances, particularly as re
gards the biography of James Montgomery,
the English poet. He died in 1854, and two
devoted friends, who had been waiting for
years to take his life, immediately rushed into
print and produced, in instalments, a heavy,
lumbering, and unsatisfactory biography in
seven mortal octavo volumes. A third of this
work was occupied with details about—them
selves l They had watolicd him for years, out
of doors and in-doors, iu public and in private
life, and produced a scries of distorted photo
graphs of the poor man’s mind. James Mon
tgomery was not a iirst-rate poet, though he
stood rather high among the second-class
verse-makers of Iris time, and some of his
shorter lyrics are very pleasing. Ho wrote
under tho impression of strong religious feel
ing, and thus acquired a largo audienco among
serious people. Hla biographers have done all
they could to lake him off the pedestal. They
have chronicled the pettiest details. Who
cores to know that, before ho went to bed, he
would sit by the /ire, with Ids feet on the len
der or the hob, sipping his glass of brandy
and water? Yet this is one of tho personal
traits represented by Messrs. Everett and Hol
land. Such a seven-league life would bo as un
saleable as uureadablo iu this country, where
Montgomery hadmanyadroirere. Mrs. Helen C.
Knight has taken the heavy seven volumes pub
lished in, England and, from them written a
good Life of Montgomery, in one volume. It
coutaius a portrait, from an early drawing, by
Ghantrey, the sculptor, and a vignette repre
senting some stately odittco, tno name of
which is not mentioned. The book is hon
estly executed.. The maiu incidents of Mont
gomery's life are conveyed in a well-written
and lucid narrative, and tho work will proba.
bly have a large sale.
Mrs. Knight, however, has fallen into
several errors, some /Vom carelessness, and
some (Vom sheer ignorance. Speaking of the
poem of “The, Wanderer of Switzerland,”
published early in 1806, as coining over the
, water hither, she says: “Perhaps the same
packet brought the Weird Tbaiaba, 44 or the
last new novel of “The Great Unkuown,” as
Scott Incog, was then called, or a song from
Moore." The fact is, “Thalaba" was published
i 1q 1801, and must have been here years before
“The Wanderer. 41 Scott, In 1806, hadwritten
only “The Lay," and did not publish the first
of his novels until July, 1814, eightyaasa after
“The Wanderer" crossed the Atlantic, and
j was not distinguished As “The Great Un
known" until much later still \ and Moore was
not a song-writer until 1818.
Again': Mrs. Knight, under the date of 1812,
laments that,Thomas Campbell, the poet, was
then “ dependent on publishers for nls daily
bread/ 4 whereas he t haa obtained a life pension
of $l,OOO a year from the Government in 1805,
and, with* such an Income, certainly need not
have been (and was not) dependent on any
publisher at any time. Next, Mrs. Knight er
roneously states that Bobert Montgomery’s
poem, “The Omnipresence of the Deity,” was
“equivocally heralded—Montgomery’s New
(® an -. "e assure her, from personal know
n°thtng of the sort was done, and
Robert Montgomery (who died in December,
1855, an eloquent and useful- clergyman. In
London) was incapable of such “equivocal”
conduct. Lastly, Mrs. Knight makes the Duke
m.?V 0 s' k n t,r . e 8 i e i lt , a P llb,io meeting in 1862.
But the Duke died in January, 1827, some flve
and-twenty years before, arid there has been
no successor to the title in tbe interval.
These are the more flagrant mistakes which
Mrs. Knight has made. TVe recommend her
to correct them in succeeding editions, and en
deavor to bo more accurate In her tuture com
pilations.

Considering how much wo are the slaves of

society owes a good deal to Mr. Paterson for
placing before them a new and good Cook

ness is a great deal, consisting as it does of
giving a great variety of cnllnaiy information,
and adjusting the receipts so as to adapt them
either for those who have a great deal or; very
little to spend. A cook book ou au economi

ought to know, wore she to provide for a fa

the public wanted, and they have it here.
The book has a table of contents, under the dif

the end. It is handsomely printed, and sub
stantially bound.

CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM NEWPORT.
[Correspondence ot The Press.}
Newport, Saturday, Aug* 22.
There is a malicious sort of ’pleasure in bowling
down a popular fallacy—an epigram ir usually in*
controvertible only because not assailed with proper
weapons. A charmed life can be reached but by a
silver bullet; a simple contradiction falls fiat In
presence of a wwt—it mustbe noted out and fall, to
be proved false. Experiencc/alaais bat amuseum
of fossil affections and exploded opinions. We bare
all heard and believed, that when the mum is
the matt is there." Yet where Is tho
Newport Pepyß, who alone could with hie paper
pellet* bring down folly as it fliUby on butterfly
wing, (not to be confounded with the bees’ wing of
old port,) and bring down to posterity a just and
(striking picture of the philosophy of pleasure?
Newport deeetvea u chronicler. To trifle grace
fully, and enjoy lifo easily, are not American
characteristics, yet here the almighty dollar is
tossed about as if it were worth only what it can
bring; so out of the root of pleasure springs the
fruit of wisdom.
It is indeed very difficult to give a resume of the
last week. A pic-nic at the Fort had the savor of
originality, and manger sour U ponce was regard
ed as a delightful variety from hotel dinners, where
military evolutions take the place of discipline
among the servants, and Mayonnaise usurps the
throne of mutton on the carte. * A list of shams,
by tho by, is soon proved a fallacy by an applica
tion of tooth and nail test.
* The Coreos at the Fort arc worth notice. These
assemble in a small space every oarriage in New
port, and two lines are made, which follow the
drives inside the walls; the Gerwaniaa blowing
, their lives out, en pure perte, in the middle of the
, groen. Here, too, lady equestrians exhibit their
horsemanship, not always witching the world, and
; officers in uniform dash about, giving a gay mili
tary air to the whole. It is a fixed fact that on
Mondays and Thursdays you make an appearance
at the Fort; other days must go to Bateman’s,
no matter how dusty; on beach afternoons you
are expected to drive to the second beach and
put your counter in the pool. It is rather a
pleasant thing to see one’s will and individuality
shivered, and to be swallowed up in & pleasant
whole of will-less women and complying men. It
Saves time, also wear and tear of judgment, and is
decidedly an ingenious and highly meohanioa! in
vention, like the twelve men set to make»pin.
Lots of private dinners pick out the elite of the
hotels to do honor to ex-Fresldent Van Buren and
Hon. Edward Everett, both of whom suffer them
selves to be feasted with lamb-like docility; for
once they have a common platform. See, then,
how good a thing is pleasure ; it is cohesive in its
nature. The old President has not forgotten his
king-craft, and his wary little eyes and diplomatic
smiles are at the service of the fairest and best
in every reunion. Mr. Everett delivered his
oration on Washington to a packed audienoe last
Monday night, and did himself full justice.
Bright eyes beamed, half in approbation of the
man, half in appreciation of bis discourse, and
he had reason to be Battered at finding that
folly had laid down her cap and bells and tried on
the bonnet of reason at bis bidding. Tho hop at
the Bellevue stood still at his Joshua-like com
mand, and only at eleven P. M. was the equilibri
um of things restored. A stringent polka redowa
and a wild gallop soon brought people to their sen
ses again, and the star of Washington paled be
fore that of Strauss, as ghosts vanish at cock-crow.
Tuesday flagged a little after the pearl dissolved
in Monday’s cup; flirtations became more serious in
the pause, and in pure despair it was resolved, on
Wednesday, to look in at the “ Ocean hop.” Don’t
suppose, uninitiated reader, that this means a frolio
of mermen and sirens. The Venuses of the occa
sion did not rise from the sea, although in the fury
of the waits some really presented as few impedi
ments to a correot idea of their proportions; but
our chaste pen refuses to enter Into particulars;
nor is the term primadonna derived from the first
woman, Eve, and her modest display. This error
we frankly rectified at the time, for our learning
Is a portable thing, and easily carried with us into
the public service. On Thursday Chateau Sur Mer
blazed again in honor of the heroine Miss Andrews,
whose horoio conduct during the Norfolk pestilence
ho* made her one of tho lions of Newport. On
Friday camo off the great ball at tho Bellevue;
and we take pleasure in complimenting “ tho gen
tlomen of tho Bellevue,” by whose kind courtesy
fo many strangers were presented with tho free
dom of the hall, and whose successful ball was tho
reward which virtue does not always reap. That
it began quite too late, is merely a happy illustra
tion of Mr. Everett’s denunciation of the prevail
ing vice of “ unpuncfcunlity, which, with most un
mathematical and odious absurdity, persists in
calling it ten till it is elevon.” Such was the case
last night at the Bellevuo; hut if the stars rose
late they but dazzled us the more. As the room
filled, it was evident, from tho exquisite toilettes,
that this, was considered an occasion not to be
lightly dealt with.
The room was very prettily decorated with pink
and white, and tho glaring ga9 was rebuked by
roso-colored pyramids of wax lights, which painted
tho lily and threw a new glow on tho flush of
beauty. Tho girls were enchanted. After all,
art is mighty, and nature Is not ashamed to borrow
from hor sister. Tho offoot of tho piuk light was
magical, and tho zephyr-llke dresses floated in a
transparent atmosphere of color. Mrs. 11. D., iu
a beautiful white gauro with a trcllico of ribbon
and trailing wreathoa of white morning glories
thrown over it, was conspicuously beautiful. Her
sister, Mrs. W, D., in embroideredguipuro-musiin,
with pink passed in and out of* the headings, was
extremely well dressed. Miss 8., in puffed tulle,
with Ulliputian wreathes of rose-buda and violets,
was sublime; formerly sho was the beauty of New
York, but Time has unkindly given us more to
look at and less to admire.
MissMcC. bad a lovely dress of white tulle,
with myriads of flowers and carnations looping
them up. Miss P., in a white tulle with blue silk
lappeta from the waist, was decidedly successful.
Miss C., in blue silk, caught up with roses, was
rather too Pompadour for the jeune fiUe, but it was
an effeotiye dress.
Miss S » ih pink silk, puffed with tulle, floated
about in her own TagHoni style.
Miss H., In pink tarletan flounced to tho waist,
was exceedingly pretty.
Miss T., who has that magnet (notof steel) to our
century so much more potent, in simple white, was
Surrounded all the evening.
Mrs. J. had on a rioh lace dress, with reminders
of black velvet—the very luxury of wo.

simplicity, quite piquant, w contrasted with her
usual style.
Miss 0. H. looted as if she had been sleeping on
ft bank of violet; they were scattered ali over-her
oostome, which wanted tone or color to be Terr
pretty. J
But all these dresses, like Longfellow's trailing
garments of the night, swept through, the not mar
ble halls with » lofty disregard of economy and
expediency marvellous to behold.
After '* the German*’ a' rag-picker might have
made bis fortune—there were shreds of blonde,
and scrape of tulle and strips of tarletan scattered
all over the room. When Fashion issaes an ukase
involving such an absurd contravention of neat
ness, why is there no spirited Miss MaPlimsey
willing to stand up for the right? Hecatombs of
dresses are nightly sacrificed to this arbitrary de
cree that, like Birds of Paradise, women must be
supposed to have no feet. Papas groan in vain,
mammas fan themselves in affected disregard with
spasmodic vehemence, bat the brare daughters
fling their dresses to the breeze and read their
garments—not their hearts.
PHILADELPHIA STORES.
(For The press.} ~
IMPROVEMENTS op PHILADELPHIA
The character of Philadelphia is well illustrated
by the in which business i* Conducted
In our midst. There Ja none of that intense dear*
manifested to, impress the ,mind of the stranger or
looker-on with an overwhelming ideaof the immense
amount of business done in the smallest possible
space and time, as we observe in our sister city of
New York—no endeavor to “set the river on
fire’’—but a plain, steady, unpretending energy
and perseverance that betoken • substantiality and
reliability. Our business hum bythU course have
now an enviable reputation and fair
dealing, and hare. reflected ct‘wjsi our city.
The quietness with Which. is des
patched, and the habit our- -, have
of keeping what they do on the records of
their establishments, .and not 1 , publishing high
ly colored statements of their extraordina
ry large sales, have laid them open to the
charge of want of enterprise by those who think
there most be a frantic enthusiasm exhibited in
everything,' or we are behind the age. This charge
is without foundation, as all know who understand
the Philadelphia merchant. He is folly up to all
the requirements of bis business. Our streets are
lined With the largest and most magnificent stores
in the world, and on their counters and shelves can
be found the best assorted stock of imported and
domestic goods in the country. On all sides
of ns rise vast piles of brick, granite, marble,
iron, or brown-stone monuments of the enter
prise and thriving condition of our merchants.
A description of one of these establishments will
serve to show the character of our merchants.
Seme few days since we visited the magnificent
store of M. L. HalioweU & Co, on Market street,
below Fourth. ThU store, in point of size and ele
gance, sa well as in the details of the interior; Is
one of the most expensive places of business in this
oountry, if not in the world. The front is of
solid New firunswiok brown atone, through the
whole thickness of the waill. The style of
architecture is that known as the Italian Re
naissance of the fifteenth century. The first story,
which la elevated two feet above the pavement, re
presents an open arcade, with arches supported by
Roman Doric columns, ftnd large Corinthian pilas
ters in the corners, to recoivethc architrave above.
Tbo second story is ia the lonio order, and the
third and fourth stories are in free version of the
Corinthian order, with arched windows between
the columns., The fifth story represents, in a mea
sure, a large frieze, with caryatid® figures, in place
of brackets, to support the heavy projecting cor
nico that crowns the building.
*The interior of the store is no less admirable. The
front part of the building, One hundred and thirty
two feet deep, by twenty-six feet wide, is orna
mented on both sides with rich lonic pilasters, and
,a handsome heavy cornice; The rear portion, ex
tending one hundred and seventy-one feet farther, is
fifty feet in width, and forms a very striking feature
in the establishment. The ceiling of this vast room
is about thirty foot high, with wide galleries ou
both sides, supported by columns of alight and florid
Corinthian style. The columns' that support the
cornice of the oeillng above, as also ali the otberde
tailaoftheiintertor, are made toconresjxmd lit *iyle ;
producing a very tasteful and harmonious effect.
At the north end of the building (a. distance of
upwards of three hundred feet from the front doors
op Market street) is a double stairway, starting from
the centre, and winding right und left, leading to
the galleries.
The skylights each contain bat one paneof glass,
measuring twelve feet by five feet, and are so con
structed as to exclude all the direct rays of the sun,
admitting only the pure northern light. The
large basement room is well lighted by means of
numerous “deck lights” of ground glass, set in
the floor of the story immediately above it. The
space under the galleries on the west side is divi
ded into apartments for different kinds of goods,
each of which is under the eare of a manager,
producing thus, in all these subdivisions under one
roof, the some attention, completeness, and method,
that would characterize as many distinct houses.
In the space under the east gallery is situated a
range of eight neat and commodious apartments,
which are fitted up in an elegant manner as count
ing and sample rooms, Ac. One of these is appro
priated to the use of customers, the design being to
make such persons feel at home by providing them
a place where they may converse, write letters, and
otherwise employ themselves, without feeling that
. they ore in the way of, or interrupting the busi
ness of the house. Another similar apartment is
arranging as a reading room, and is supplied with
files of a number of leading commercial papers of
this and other cities of the United States. All of
the rooms on this range are brilliantly lighted with
gas, and several of them are furnished with speak
ing tubes, communicating with remote parts of the
establishment.
At the rear ond of the first story on the west
side is located what is styled the receiving and ex
amining rooms, in whiob all the goods coming to
the store are taken, opened and inspected, and
then distributed upon the shelves in the various
s&les-roomi. Through a hatchway in the floor of
this room the goods sold sre transferred into the
large basement hall below, where they arc
packed, coopered, marked, and then taken up
through another hatchway Inside of the store door
on Fourth street, and thence despatched to the
point of shipment, or to the railway freight depots.
This arrangement for the receipt, unpacking, and
paoking of goods obviates the necessity of occu
pying the sidewalks fronting the store with bales
and boxes, and is a most valuable improvement,
worthy of general adoption. At tho north ex
tiemity of the building, elevated several feet above
the level of the galleries, is a suite of apartments,
comprising a spacious parlor and bed chamber su
perbly furnished, and having attached to them a
store, a clothes, a dressing, and a washing and bath
room. These apartments are occupied by two mem
bers of the firm, and by means of a window cut in
the south wall of the parlor, a view of the entire
extent of the vast trade saloons is commanded.
Tho entire edifice is heated by three immense
furnaces, placed underneath the cellars, and is
lighted by not less than four hundred and twenty
nine gas-burners. The gas fixtures are exceeding
ly beautiful. The arrangements for water and
drainage are very superior. To afford some idea
of tho extent of tho structure, we will state that it
requires fourteen thousand square feet of roofing.
The amount of gas consumed is very large, and as
tho main on Market street could not afford a suffi
cient supply, it was found necessary to have a
special main extended down to the store from Arch
street.
The area of ground covered by the buildiug
comprises no loss than 13,050 square feet, and the
surface occupied, including the basement and the
floors of tho galleries, amounts to upwards of
52><JGG square foot.
We have never seen a building for the purpose
constructed in a more substantial ond durable
manner. There seems to bo nothing loft undone
to combine strongth and durability, with the
beauty and ingenuity of the arrangement.
The stock of tho firm is the most extensive and
best of tho kind in'tho country. It consists of
silks, all descriptions of dross goods, of aU fabrics,
ribands, locos, embroideries, all sorts of “ white
goods,” gloves, hosiery, dress-trimmings and
fringes, shawls, cloaks, and mantles, and all kind**
of linens and furnishing goods.
In Chestnut street, nenr tho corner of Eighth,
and almost next to the Girard House, astutely
building is in course of construction. A fow brief
particulars may interest those who like to watch
how our city is steadily adding tohertriready large
number of handsome buildings. This particular
one extends from Chestnut to Grape street, and is
fifty feet front and °ue hundred and sixty-five
deep. The main building is sixty-five feet deep,
and four stories high; the book building is one
hundred feet deep, And two stories high. The
first story is twenty feet and the second ono is
eighteen feet,high on the clear, which extend the
entire depth. The third story is sixteen feet, and
the fourth is fourteen feet in the clear, extending
sixty-five feet in depth. The front on Chestnut
street U designed in the Roman style of axohltoc
lure, and Is to be of Connecticut brown stone from
the-Portiand quarries. There will be a baloony on
the second floor, extending the entire length of
the building, and projecting four feet from the
WftU, supported on richly-carved consoles. The

It is well known that while Speaker of thfSntt

very materially by his iofiueooe.tontud qra mtt*
mentof that cow popular measure, knows Wtbt
“ Three Hondrcd Dollar Exemption Ae*.'* During
the winter of 1850, it will alto be rememberedTw
strenuous effort was made by persons who
themselves aggrieved by the law, to havwH mh
pealed; Gen. Packer was then in'tha Sonia,
where be at once took the lead among then «to
opposed a repeal. A remonstrate* tha
law, numerously signed by his own
being forwarded to him to present to tbat body, W
complied with the request, aaoouraaajtngltwk
the eloquent remarks which we publish befew, iSL .
which the Philadelphia Sun, when pshUaUsC

that theycontributedlargely t' prostrating fartfc**'

and his dependent family now enjoy thftpmtiiwttoar

of morality, no less than the dictates of humanity, '
demands the preservation of the family drefe, .
and the maintenance of the/amiYy home, os effi
cient preventives of vice, ana sure and permanent'
contributors to individual virtue and nappineas,
and to public prosperity and order.”
Such, Mr. 1 Speaker, are the views of tha Govar
norof New York. They are the sentiments of a
humane and far-seeing statesman; and I honor hha
for his manly independence is giving them tha
weight and sanction of his official station. Sir, t
go with the Governor of the Empire State, t
would secure to eveiy family a home and a hearth.
I would not permit the covetous and hard’hearud -
creditor to drive his unfortunate debtor, noted
and penniless , out upon the cold charities of ast
inhospitable world. The laws that authorise twsh
a procedure should be blotted from the pages of
the statute-books of every State In this using:
they are repugnant to the spirit of the age, asn
revolting tobumanity. Like the laws sanctioning
Imprisonment for debt, they should be repudiated
by every philanthropic legislator; they should
exist but in the history of the past—an obsolete
idea.
It has been truly said, Mr. Speaker, that he who
sells out the last little property of a. wife ssA
family of small children, of a rash, heedless, of per
haps intemperate bu3band and father, and after
wards with a cheerful countenance goes home to
dine—goes home to feast ox suvax bxaits!
Sir, money thus obtained has a damning carea
upon it!
Entertaining these viow3, Mr. Speaker, I cannot
go with those of my constituents who demand tb#
repeal of the exemption law of last session; nor can
I believe that any considerable number of them
desire it.
A Centenarian—lnteresting Incidents,
On the Uth instant Captain Anthony Christy,
keeper of the light-house at the mouth of the Chris
tiana river, Delaware, celebrated hi; one hun
dredth birthday by a public dinner, which was
attended by aU his children, grand-children, and
great-grand-ohildren, to tho number of forty, with
their husbands and wives. About one hundred and
fifty persons sat down to the table. The Delaware
Gazette says:
'•The venerable old captain, eroet as in youth,
with a weather-beaten and broni&d, but not
wrinkled face, sat at the head of the table, and
enjoyed tho scene os much as any of the company.
HU faculties arc unimpaired, and his senses acute,
except somo deficiency of hearing. His wife, now
over seventy. looks so well as o give promise of
attaining to the same round age of her husband.
The captain first visited America as a sailor in the
ship Runaway, which camo over from Europe in
with supplies sent by France, Germany, and.
Prussia, and which, after having been ohased by
British cruisers , succeeded in reaching Great Egg
Harbor, and placing the supplies safely in the
hands of General Washington.
“Ho returned to Europe thd same year, and in
18i)7 came back to this country, landed at New Cas
tle, and hr. 3 been a resident of 'Wilmington until
the present time. During tho war of 1812 the
captain commanded tho supply-boat which carried
powder from the Dupont's works to tho
various points where that important article was
ordered by the Government, and many times was
his littlo vessel chased by British cruisers, who
kept a sharp look-out for all such craft, and for
none more keenly than for Christy’s powder-boat.
**Mr. Guthrie,the late Secretary of the Treasury,
made him keeper of the CbrbtianaLight, and from
the condition of tho lantern ; and everything else
about tho place, it is evident that the post is wall
filled. Mr. Cobb has continued him ia that pod
tiou. Ho is 'certainly a remarkable man, and
doubtless owes much of his present health to his
uuiforrr sobrioty, not having tasted intoxicating
liquorcr used tobacco for fifty years, and having
always lived with much simplicity of diet.”
The August Elections,
The returns from the bulk of the August elections
are to hand, and the result may be described in a
sentence as a great triumph for tho Democratic
party. In Kentucky and other States where the'
nativo Americans recently held the preponderance,
they are now almost out of the question. The De
mocrats have swept everything before them. State
elections occurring within a year or so after the in
auguration of a new President are usually favorable
to the Administration. Men take little Interest, u
a rule, 1& State politics; and until the Federal
Government displays gross inefficiency, are prepar
ed to give it a fair trial. At the same time ft l* but
just to tho President to say that, independently of
considerations of this kind, the public feeling hA*
set strongly in his favor. Throughout the country
he enjoys the confidence of the conservative class.
And he has been materially strengthened with the
sensible men of .a)) parties by the foolish
; which have been made upon' him and upon all
parties by the extremists of both sections, and es
pecially of the South.— Harper's Weekly.
