Her first attempts at writing wore in verso, made almost bolero she had got " Into her teens," and soon estimated by her so lightly that she consigned all of them to the flames. Not until she had reached the mature ago of 40, did she achieve the honor of producing a real, downright printed bank. That was in 1827, and the work is ballad "Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Caltes,and Sweetmeats." It was plain, practical, and so auecessful that its publisher encouraged her to write a volume of juvenile stories. She published many such books, favorite reading to children to this day, and produced "The American Girl's Book" in 1831, which confessedly remains at the head of its clasi. Nor did she write alone for juveniles. She composed numerous magazine stories for "chil dren of a larger growth." Among the most 'popular of these was a prize-tale entitled "MM. • Washington Potts," (literally a story of china,) 'written for the Lady's Book. Her magazine-papers, collected ,as " Pencil 'Sketches," have been very popular. Some more novelettes Om published In pamphlet form. Her forte lay in 'the composition of short stories—just as her brother, the artist, excels in cabinet paintings. She never tried a regular novel—the nearest approach to it were volumes called " Amelia, or a Young ,Lady's vicissitudes," " Althea Vernon," and "Hen rietta Harrison," none-of which is first-rate. She was editor of " The Gift," an annual of high standing, at one time. Following up her that publication, Miss Loran produced several other volpmes , on Cookery and Housekeeping, which have had a vory great sale, and continue popular, be cause they. are useful. Her last work, we bellevd, appeared in 1853, and is called " The Behaviour Book," full of practical truth and subdued. humor. A detailed account of Miss LESLIE and her 'writings will bo found in DUMMIES' Cyclopedia of american Litera ture. Miss LESLIE'S . rank in the world of letters has been determined long since, and favora bly. She had not what is called genius; but Common sense, tact, good taste, quiet humor; a keen, and almost satirical sense of the ridi culous, some knowledge of the world, close observation, and keen perception of character, are the Uoinbined elements of her writing, She was essentially a Philadelphian, and has 'occupied, for many years, the firstplace among our local tomato writers.

SENATOR DOUGLAS AND THE COMMIT ,. TEE ON TERRITORIES. We rlotjce,,thatltleiti Southern pipers arc tryingl6:llor, , that Senator Douox.as was re 'elected 'to ' , .thii,',Autlrrnanship of the, Senate Ceuttnitten„pti:Territories at, a time when,his antagoisfittOketioaltton. Of thi: South on the TOrritorialihi,ao6tiliad notlperi made known. Oreat etra'sifli*d-ivon ",this - accusation, end WO regret to see that one or two, Northern papers, not content with assailing Senator Domes because of his support of the great principle of, popular sovereignty, have . fallen into the same bLutidei. C The facts, which we 'ilerlieelrom amplo`atttbority, are as follows: 1 4 ,Tire. first caueus of the Democratic Senators 'wash:Ad - on the morning of Monday, the 7th of December. At this caucus, the, President of Dab Senate, 'pro ten:pore, was nominated, 'Oft. FrrerAvnt99 and a committee appointed to arrange the standing committees. The next day the President's message was sent to Con— gress, and Judge Donotas expressed his die- Sent as to so much of it as affirmed the Le comptcei Constitution. December 9th Senator Donnas made his great speech against the Le dtdapton Constitution. On 0 o 10th, thi, De 'Moore& caucus committee twanged the pro gramme of committees, to be submitted to the Democratic caucus for approval, and on Saturday, the 12th, the caucus committee re ported the Progranune'to the Democratic cau cus. That caucus ratified the report In ail ex cept one member of the committee on finance, who was displaced, and another put in his post firth, after a sharp' debate. Early the next week the Committees, as arranged in tho Democratic caucus, were elected in the Senate, with Mr. DOUGLAS as Chairman of the Committee on Territories, second on the Committee on Foreign Relations, and on the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, the same_Com inittces which he had served upon duriiirthe last session. Thus it will bo seen that he was placed upon all of these Committees by the unanimous vote of the caucus of Democratic Senators, alter ho fully and amply asserted his consistency in regard to the Kansas ques tion. • -.-- The following extract from an article in a late number of the Now Orleans Bulletin, a South ern paper of great ability, shows how the at tempt to force the Locompton Constitution upon the people of Kansas is regarded In that quarter of the Union by an unprejudiced wit ness. It will ho recollected that early in the season we rebuked that violent, unittstr and despotic spirit that would cram slavery In Kansas down the throats of its people against the will of 'an overwhelming majority; and showed that the .only possible reason there could be for withholding the question of slavery or no slavery from the bona fide voters of the Territory when about to assume the functions' of a sovereign State, must no the fear that the said majority would pronounce against the institution. We challenged those noisy people in the South who talk a good deal of nonsense about rights' when they happen to be in their faVer, but who are rather too fte quently apt fo be oblivious of them when they are not, to give us the ghost of any other reason than this tbr opposing the submission of this vexed question to the only tribunttl competent to pronounce upon it. Wo recognized what is sauce for the goose' — to be " Sauce for the gander.' We had no idea of claiming for ourselves rights' which we deny to others. Such notions may suit abstractionists, fancy men and extremists. They do not comport with our ideas of justice, common sense, reason or even common decency. They are not tenable, and the slightest touch of truth scatters them to the winds. Principles cannot thus be made to veer like the weather-cock according to the passing breeze of popular caprice. When Smith's bull gores Johnson's ox, it may be very agreeable to Smith to fall back upon ab stractions and deny his responsibility, but Johnson will very properly consider all such stuff as the veriest and silliest balderdash ima ginable." DEMOCRATIC OPINION IN PENNATL TAMA. It would be impossible for wife give even a fair synopsis of ihe_inft , sra_ of im-r spendenis, and the articles of the Democratic press, showing the direction of Democratic. opinion in Pennsylvania, on the present phise of the Kansas question. Up to this writing wo have had letters front many of the most pronlinent and orthodox of our political friends in every county in the State, all breath ing the same sentiments of respect for Presi dent SvortAxAN, the samo confidence in his character and. his patriotism, and also assert tag the strongest opposition to the LecomP ton fraud and the most profound contempt for the servile test-makers, who think tiny are honoring Mr. Bectuton by assailing others for an Independent, fearless, and entirely dis interested expression of opinion. The nen who write these letters-are not expectasts. They aro conscientious and well-tried Demo crats, who dare to speak the truth without for. The Democratic papers are, many of them, on the same side, their language is alike re spectful and decided. The Chester eotnty .Democrat, of Tuesday last, has a short pint graph which is a specimen of the sentiment now prevailing in that quarter of good )1(1 Pennsylvania: " THE VOWS Or THE PEOPI.S.—Wo have made diligent inquiry in this community to aetterthin bow the Demoorata ;stand on the proposition to stb• mit the Lecompton Constitution to the peopit of Kansas, and thus far we have found or heardof, but Setlfll , straight•out men In favor of submiting it In the form suggested by the Convention that framed It! The enabling sat of Mr. booths Is concurred In on all sides. The oldest end the steadiest friends of Mr. Buchanan, in this part of his former Congressional dialect, while entertaining for him, an unabated regard, aro nevertheless firm in their views, that nothing less than the submission of the entire Constitution can fulfil the pledgee of the Democratic potty. This unanimity of sentiment is quite astonisßng, and we cordially invite those who doubt the truth of our assertion, to examine public opinion on the subject. The thoughtful and hard-workitg masses are universally for popular sovereignty, as defined by Judge Douglas." PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENTS. The bard times, which have sensibly affec,od Public amusements in this city, appear to hive subsided of late, It is very true that nothing is doing at the Academy of Music : two are persumod that. a good English operatic company wouldbo extremely tmeoessful here,) nor that any proniso of speedy, performances is hold out, beyond ho vague, if not doubtful, intimation that the Mont. sok troupe will return in March. No doubt tiny will, unless they proceed to Mexico, where tley wore invited, it is said, before the recent rovou- WM there. Mrs. Bowers appears likely to rebuild the (mien fortunes of Walnut-Street Theatre. So far, ler lesseeship has been very successful. Sho hat a good working company, lately augmented by he addition of Mr. F.' B. Conway and his erre. Menges might yet be advantageously made in Cis troupe. Mrs. Bowers Is herself a good performer, as much a favorite hero as Mrs. Moey it; in Nw York, and; indeed, much resembling her, in rimy points, as an actress. Mrs. Conway, with far les experience, is rapidly rising in the professio, and has not only good looks but a very mu skrat vole°, to win admiration. Miss Richinsti an excellent singer, would be a chart ing, comedienne-11 she were a little lee sold and more sympathetic. Mr. Conway, for several years the loading actor at t!ti Broadway Theatre, N. Y., is as well qualified is almost any gentleman we could name, to All no same position here. lie ie well educated, and hoe obtained his professional experience in a verygod school, Mr. J. E. Owens, as a light and eogentio comedian, has no equal in this ()pantry—except Mr. C. M. Wriicet, perhaps, and has a wider rase of character than that gentleman. Mr. Riohlw is still .a fine actor, but would do well to 10,1r0 Juvenile parts to young men, remembering thatto have played such parts thirty years ago is nos a god reason why ho shoald play them now. As an art*, master Of every aid and appliance chiob P. , ' dunes an haprosaion on the public, Mr. 'tithing has no superior. Mr. Boniface is a respoctalis walking gentlonian. Mr. Showell occasionally shows considereble talent, and seems generally 1.) have a reason in his,own mind for what he dove-- which will probably raise him far higher than hi now stands. We hope that he will reconciler hb idea of the qharacter of Mobts, in " The Hula beak," and make that etudent more of a goutk man and less of a confused, half-buffo olown. Asto Mr. Chapman, he Is very glover, but so eatiroly mannerist that we see Mr, Chapman in ovary port be plays. It is impossible to forget Mr. Chapmtt. He is the, same in every thing. . Jot the Oh Bireet Theatre, Which Mr. 'Whetts ley, by good managOmenfand liberal expendlitre has elevated into one of the most respeetable tabilebments In this country, the company is vet effective. Mr. Wheatley himself is entitled ti draw any where ea a Star. lie eels well, and dresses, well. Air., Davenport in one of the best adore we have, with a very wide ratio of cha. meter. He is well sapported by his wife, who seems capable of taking any part, almost, and making a oueeess In each. Air. James Dunn might be a good actor, if he would oondeseend to study. Mr. and Afro. Thayer arc "at home" In their Own line, Mr. J, S. Olerke, en old favorite, 997 SOUTHERN OPINION has fallen into the error of old know ing his audience very well, be often, rims into grimace and gag." to amuse them. Miss 'Emma Taylor, withW showy and handsome personal appearance, has- lately shown herself capable of becoming a fine Actress, and moat be kept up to that mark. We have not forgotten Mr Dolmans though we . name him last. On some oo oisions, where his mannerisms do not interfere, he plays very respectably, but hie acting is generally too angular, and his voice too grating and uncer tain to please those who, by familiarity, have not become accustomed to his peculiarities. He is a I favorite with the audience, however. There is I such a thing as wn acquired taste, .which makes many preens relish ohms. At Danford's Ethiopian Opera House the per formers are too numerous to be individualized. They succeed in drawing full houses, night after night. At Welch's National Theatre, lately open as a Circus, a theatrical company is now performing. The only actor who deserves particular notice is Mr. R. Johnston, who was a great favorite, a few yeors ago, at the Bowery Theatre, N. Y., and would play passably enough if he could forget the exag gerations of the West, and modulate his voice into varying expression. At Walnut-stroot Theatre, this ovensng, "The Hunchback " and the farce of " Tho Live Indian" will be performed. In the play Mrs. Dowers, Mrs. Conway, Mr. Conway, Mr. Riehings, Mr. Boni face, Mr. Showell, and Mr. Chapman take the leading parts. It is an excellent east. In the face the whole weight rests upon Mr. Owens, wko Is equal to it, and keeps his audience in a roar of laughter from first to last. At Arch-street 'Theatre, the spectacular melo drama of "The Last Days of Pompeii," and a new romantic drama, called " The Scalp Hunters." The first piece is splendidly brought out, Mr. and Mrs. Davenport, Mr. Wheatley, Mies Emma Tay lor, Mrs. Thayer, end Mr. James Dunn being in the oast. The " Scalp Hunters" is founded on a novel by Captain Mayne Reid, and WAS expressly dramatized for Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Davenport, by the late John T. Wilkins, author of " Civiliza tion." It was very successful in London, whore it was first produced, and was extremely well re ceived at " The Aroh," on Saturday, whore it was played for the first time. At Sanford's the new pantomime will be the leading Hamilton, and, at the National Theatre, a hash from the French, called "The Poor of New York," lately produced, by Mr. Dourcicault, at W attack's Theatre. Tut Misses Ilcnox's Coucanr.—Tmtnorrow evening, the Misses Heron, well known as accom plished musio teachers and singers, will give their first concert It comes off at Musical Fund Hall, and there is the fullest ground for believing that it will bo a great success. There has not been a concert here for some time; the programme eon. tains a variety of admirable solos and concerted pieces ; and the fair lenefieiares are enti tled, personally, as well as professionally, to the most favorable support and considera tion of the musio-loving public.. In genera), the mere ability of the singer is considered, and the fashion of her wardrobe and the brilliancy of her Jewels is often considered almost an equiva lent for a worn-out voice, or n somewhat faded character. Mere three local performers (who have passed from infancy to womanhood in the very presence, as it were, of those whose patronage they solicit,) aro before the public, known and re ' spooled for their domestic virtues, as well as those rare natural gifts which have made them, as it were, a nest of singing birds. The Misses Heron, we aro confident, will haven marked success. They will bo assisted by competent artistes and amateurs, and Maine Qarnaud, the pianist, will also perform. FRENCH BENEVOLENT EOCIETY.—Tho Eleventh Annual Ball of this charitable institution, (for the relief of the French poor,) will take place on Wednesday, January 20, at the Musical Fund Hall ; and in consideration of Its admirable pur pose, we announce it thus far In advance.

Either will give great offence to certain parties in the South, while at the same time, the North and all conservative mon will stand by the Administra tion, should it refuse to offer Paulding as a victim to the filibuster lover I think you were in error the other day when you stated that Commodore Paulding was a son or grandson of tho Paulding who aided In tho arrest of Major Andre. lie is only the grand-nophow. _Thistiiet as omen - Into con ! aideration with the other, that pro-slavery men invited hordes of fifiriouriane to vote through the Lcoompten Constitution in ROMS, at the late election, has created bad humor at the South, And prophecy which I have, frequently made, that these extreme men never were very friendly to Mr. Buchanan. You need not be at all our prised if the patriots in Philadelphia and New York who have been trying to resolution themselves into the confidence of the Presi dent by opposing Judge Douglas, Governor Walker, and everybody who would not fall down and worship the Lecomptim contrivance, will find that they have gone to unnecessary trouble, and that Mr. Witte's vision of seeming a fat contract from the navy depot Intent will disappeur as a number of his other enterprises have disappeared, into thin air. The trade of manu• factoring public opinion,,, particularly in Penney!. Yttllitt, in favor of the tecompton Constitu tion, is rather a poor one. This will be more fully ascertained , when pur members return to their seats. In that event they will bo able to speak of the condition of things they found at their own hearthstones, and I venture to pre• dint that moat of them will admit that the people wore quite as much opposed to foul play In Kansas as they are Any where else. The nomination of Mr. Clifford has not yet been confirmed by the Senate, but it will be. CITY POLICE-JANUARY 2 (Reported for Tko Proem.] DOUBLM .401• AUNT.— Themes Jordan, a young mulatto, has lately opened a shoo shore In Man bard street, and hoe the felicity to be betrothed to ono of the most fascinating damsels that ever com bined the color of stem syrup with its se eetness. In partnership with 'Kr. 'Jordan,' in,' the shpt. dealing business, is another oolardd gentlenian named Ezekiel Main, who ie married, to a lady whose personal beauty , is liable to two prinelpel objeotions, viz.: she is a little too corpulent, and her ripe-pumpkin colored complexion is thickly studded with sable freckles. As Jordan was cutting out a boot yesterday, Mrs, Blain hurriedly entered the shop and communioa ted the startling intelligence !bather "nasty good. for.nothing brute of a husband," had eloped with Jordan's betrothed, Miss Melon Withers, who car ries on dress-making next door. Jordan, of course, became wild with excitement; ho first spoiled the boot-log ho was shaping, by stabbing it "furiously with the shoe-knife, and then demanded of Mrs. Blain what direction the fugitives had taken. A disengaged cab happened to be passing at that moment; Jordan hailed it and jumped in, the de serted wife accompanying him to witness the die. comfituro of her traitrous husband. Before the cab had proceeded far, it was met by Mr. Blain himself, who, spying his wife through the window and conceiving that Jordan was run ning away with her, peremptorily ordered the driver to stop. Then throwing upon the door Of the vehicle, be glared on the astonished occupant, with eyes full of demoniac fury. Ilia next move. moot was to drag ;qrs. Blain out; Jordan in vain endeavoring to protect her from the violence of her lord. The storm of angry accusation and recrimination which followed was of the most amusing of the New Year's performances, and at' traoted a large and respectable audience to the corner of Lombard and Eighth streets, where the scene was enacted. The parties were too much en raged to come to an explanation, until the whole affair was elucidated in the police office. The disturbance originated in a jealous miscon ception of Mre. Blain. Mr. Blain was going to buy some leather, when he saw Miss Withers starting out with a bundle of work which she bad just fin ished. As he was going the same way, he gallantly offered to carry her burden. Ibis wife seeing them thus going off together, " bag and baggage," (as she supposed,) conjectured that it was a case of nine. con., and hence came all the trouble. The explanation was satisfactory to all parties, and Mrs. Blain volunteered a solemn pledge before the inagistrate that she would never be jealous again "without cause." W. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE or A PIMA DELPHIAN.— young man, a student from one of the medical colleges in Philadelphia, attempted to commit suicide by cutting hie throat, In Jersey Y City, on Thursday evening. Ile came to Now ork from Philadelphia, without the knowledge of his faintly, on Wednesday last, and on Thursday evening he went over to Jersey City, and called at the gym nasium, on the corner of Gregory street and Wash• ington place, kept by Mr. Samuel Solvers, with whom he (Bradley) had Leon long acquainted. Ile appeared melanoholy and. dejected, which wee notiood by Mr. Bowers, who asked him the cause of hie low spirits, but received no satisfactory answer. Afterheylng been there for several hours, and w hil e ho wee sauntering around the room, he made a sudden gesture and fell to the floor. Upon going to him it was found That hi had mode an attempt to cut his throat,- and had inflloted wound upon the right side of hie neck, about four inches in length, from which blood was flowing profnsely. Mr. Yowere immediately went for a physician, and upon returning, and jutet as they were approaching him, he again raised the knife" and slabbed himself In the abdomen. Ile seas very weak from loss of blood, but upon examina tion his wounds proved to be not of a fatal nature.

Jan. 2, 1858 The Niagara at Halifax brings the news of far ther failures and distresses in England and on the Continent, bat the general character of the totelti genre is more favorable than that by several pre vious arrivals, and helped somewhat to stiffen the stock market. The transactions aro still very light, but holders seem lees anxious to realize, and there is a disposition to speculate a little in the fancy stooks. The money market remains without change—a slightly increased demand being counterbalanced by the supply afforded by the paymeat of the in. terest moneys falling due on new year's day. The semi-annual dividend of five per cent on the stock of the Beaver Meadow Railroad and Coal Company has been declared this day, payable at the company's office after January I Ith The Evening Bulletin gives its weekly table of tbo coal trade, as follows.

To ascertain the true equivalent, the fineness must first be equalized. The 123 3 grains of the Victoria sovereign of the fineness of 9161 are equal to 125.551 grains of the reduced fineness of 900, namely : Jon 123.3 15 --1-60th 2 0.53 11-1-10th .200 0161 125.561 The fineness being thus equalized, we obtain the proportion of— Orsini of Halt arnica of Victoria I aglo.

The'llostoti PoAt says The great *vent of 1857 will be the commercial revulsion which started here to course over the commercial world. This has been quite faithfully portrayed as a destroyer.
