Numerous instauces of this might be adduced. What, a remarkable inci dent in literary history, for bxample, is the ac cusation brought, about a century ago, by WILLIAM LAUDER against the great Join; Mir, mom, that g , Paradise Lost " had been conveyed or stolen from certain modern Latin poems. LAUDED. was a Scottish schoolmaster, of much learning and little conscientiousness, who devoted the leisure of many years to build up a case against MILTON, and produced certain passages from GROTIVB 3 MASENIIIS, and others, which had some faint resemblance to some parts of g , Paradise Lost," and interpolating n these some fragments of Hoo's Latin trans lation of that epic, alleged that the mass, thus manufactured, was the archetype from which lar,Tott copied. This cheat was not particu- larly well executed, but it imposed upon the great SAMUEL 301INSON;WhO—not takitig the trouble, it would seem, to compare even one of LADDER'S quotations with the original authors, which would have shown the imposition—actually wrote a Preface to LAl:l:ma's Anti-Milton pamphlet, called "An Essay on Mmvorr's Use and Imitation of the Moderns in his Paradise Losf." The Rev. Dr. Dover -As, afterwards Bishop of Salisbury, an acute and learned man, detected the fraud, in a' work called it Milton no Pla- giary," and compelled LADDER publicly to confess it. JoimsoN himself, a few years before this charge of Plagiarism against MILTON had been thus preferred, had published his own poem of "London," in imitation of the third Sa tire of JoVENAL. This poem, published when JoirNsoN was only twenty-nine, so much ex cited POPE'S admiration, that when ho learned the author was an obscure man, ho said, "He will soon be Mare." Yet, masculine, vigorous, and original, as was lonNsoN's ap plication of the Roman satire to modern London, he was accused of being indebted for the beat passages and expressions in it to a previous version by Mr. °LIMAN. We might go further back for instances, re membering how SIIARSPEARE has been ac cused of merely taking other men's dramas and cleverly "adapting" them for the stage— but it would be useless. In our own time, many such charges of plagiary have been preferred. SCOTT was ac cused of stealing thoughts, and even expres sions, from GOLEIIIDOE.—In the height of his popularity, between 1812 and 1816, 'Eynon was accused, in a series of clever articles by ALARIOA.WATTS, of stealing copiously from nearly every English author of note. JOHN GALT said there was a great coincidence be tween the first part of "The Bride of Abydos," and some story of his. Bram; declared he had never seen the story, and noting tho charge in his Journal, says "as to originality, all pretensions aro ludicrous—' there is nothing new under sun.'" He acknowledged his large obligations to books for his description of the Shipwreck in the third canto of "Don • Juan." BYRON himself declared that in SOTIIF:DY'S play of "Ivan," a speech of the hero's was similar in thought and expression to Cosnan's in the third canto of" The Corsair." MoORE, who was dreadfully thin-skinned en the point of originality, almost fretted to death over two very grive serles'of accusations ler - ought against him in Fraser's Magazine: the first, in 1881, entitled "Poetical Plagiaries," and the other, published a few.yoars later, as part of The Prout Papers, entitled "The Rogue ries of Test MOORE." The latter was only a fee d'esprit, in which it was amusingly en deavored to be shown that many of MooßE's beat and most popular lyrics, particularly the "Irish Melodies," kad been translated from little-known originals, in dead and living languages, which were printed, in Fraser, side by side, to show how very closely had been the translations by the poet. The poly glot " originals," we need scarcely add, had been written - under the none de plume of Prout," purposely to raise the laugh against MOORE. The previous articles, "Poetical Plagia. ries," were written by the late Doctor WILLIAM MAGINN, and were of a much more datiaging, character. He did not invent passages and say that Moons was indebted to them, but he found them in scores of volumes, and estab lished, with great ingenuity, by means of ex tract and comparison, the fact that Moonx bad been largely indebted to others for some of the brightest gems In his poetical coronet. Tho very motto, from (‘ Hudibras," was spicy and suggestive "Much thou hest Raid, which I know when And where the u atoPet from other men, Whereby 'lie plain thy light and gifts Are all but plagiary shins." Moons is said to bavo seriously consulted his friends as to whether he should challenge the writer, known to be Idnaitut. They ad vised him to bear, if ho could not disprove, the accusation. Much about the same time, a heavy charge of plagiarism was preferred against BULWER, by an American author. In 1832, tho late SUNINER LINCOLN FAIRFIELD published a poem called " The Last Night of Pompeii." In BULWEIL'S romance, "The Last Days of Pompeii," was published. FAIRYIELD accused BUMPER of having plagiarised the title, the names of several of his characters, and some in cidents of his plot from the poem in question, adding that as he (FAIRFIELD) had sent a copy of the poem to BULWER, he no doubt read and stole from it. BuLwEit's reply—which the writer of this article comr2unicated to the old New York Mirror—was that ho had never seen or road the poem until the charge of pinta 'rism had been made, that ho saw nothing in it worth stealing, that the names of persons in poem and novel were taken from history, and that not only the main plot, but many of the details, had been supplied from tho same source. Bowan, within the last month, has been accused of another plagiarism. It seems that, some thirty years ago, the late Sir CHARLES JAMES NAPIER, the conqueror of Scinde, wrote a prose fiction, entitled "Romance of William the Conqueror," which ho submitted to Mr. COLBIELN, the well known novel publisher of that day, in hope that he would publish it. Many years after this, BULIVER'S popular ro mance "Harold, or the last of the Saxon Kings," was published, with great success. NAPIER'S brother (the historian of the l'cnin, ender war) has lately edited his brother's Ro mance of William the Conqueror," and it was to have been published ory the 10th of this month, in ono volume: It was alleged, we aro lold, that Kamm was editing COLLEEN'S New Monthly Magazine in 1832—that COL minx showed him Sir °EARLE'S NAPIER'S man uscript,—that he read it, throwing cold water upon it being published,—and that , t Harold," w hi c h appeared twelve or thirteen years later, mu,/ have been suggested by, if not plagia rized from, NArinn's previous romance. All this IS vague, with a strong dash of ill-nature, and shows how readily plagiarism is imputed upon light grounds. There is another instance, relating to a very popular satirist. One of the after-dinner facetice of Mr. TukouratAy,who certainly does not want originality, is that lie once sat at table with the late Anous B. REACH, a clever young Scotch man, who wrote a good deal for the magazines. 31r. THAOKBILAY having addressed him as "Mr. Reech," the obvious way of pronouncing the name. "No, sir," was the indignant reply, name is pronounced Ree-aclr, in two syllables." Without giving any verbal reply, TILWICERAY politely handed his neighbor a 'peach, saying, c , Mr. Ree-ack, "will you allow mo to help you to a pee-ack ?" Now, about two years, long after TIJACKERAY'Ii retort, there was publitdied in the Diary of Timms Aiodni; an anecdote' ,oiry , mach id the same vele. .:tI.ITTRET;:i, ' WA?

Whether there is a difference in Franco between -eta: foie par semaine (six times a week) and coati/lien, (daily,) I cannot say; we call a paper a daily which is issued on the six secular days of the week ; quotidien may include every day, of the week, and my impression is that the lending journals of Prance are so published every (lay throughout the year. Of the twouty-nino dailies; at least five are principally devoted to theittrical (milldam and information; these are L'a,tl42ll- seine, L'entz'aeta,: Le foyer drama - mine, Le Illks,tager des Theatres, and Le Parterre; several are mere advertising mediums, such us Le Gr'l antra ; several aro devoted to letters, or to religion, or to the due arts, or to agriculture ; the rest—not exceeding a dozen In number—profess to be public journals, representatives of principles which they itre not allowed to utter, save In pooh stifled whispers es may not render them amenable to prosecution. It is not possible to classify these numerous pe riodical(' with entire satisfaction. Their names are not always indicative of their objects. They are often devoted le several objects, between which there is not much harmony of relation. For an ex ample. of the first kind, there is a bi-monthly, en titled Let. launitia .tee hilemcman suul_beas.t. which defies classification upon its more name ; or, for an example of the (mond kind, take La Ga zette do Progrie, which professes to be a scientific, literary,. industrial, artistic, administrative, and judicial journal : under what head is such a pe riodioal to be --classed ? Notwithstanding these difficulties, there are some conclusions to be arrived at, for there-are not more than thirty or forty of these pericidicale which aro unclassifiable under their titles. If the title-page of a book is to it what his face is to a man, then this proportion of unmeaning title-pages is not greater than would bo the proportion of unmeaning faces arcing an equal number of men All that wo can do with them is to leave them out of the count. The greatest number of French periodicals is devoted to legal and administrative science. There are seventy-one such published in Paris. We can form no contraption of the state of things which gives rise to a foot like this. American adminia. tratlon is so decentralized, and so thoroughly le. calked, that we have no need whatever for books of instruction emanating from a centre of power: we have no centre of power. Fronoh administra tion is precisely opposite to our mode—it is entire ly centralized and doloonllzed, so to speak. De Tocquoville's book on the old regime of the Re volution sots this in a very clear light. Aside from the necessity of so large a number of legal publi cations, we may well suppose that the French mind, forcibly restrained from political inquiry, turns into the neighboring field of law with pecu liar energy. It is unfortunate for Franco that her system debars the profession from the cultivation of both legal and political right, and it is from this cause, more, perhaps, than any other, that her Revolutions have been such signal failures. The old looker-on at the opening of the Tiers Etats was right when ho augured no gond to Franco from tho numbers of the canaille de la lot who wore filing past him as deputies. The saviours of the country were not to bo looked for among sharp, needy, desperate pettifoggers. But to come back to our muttons. Very few of these legal periodicals profess to give an account of what is done in the courts, though some of them do. The Fronoh seem to have no reports, In the English sense of the word. It is likely that there may now be publishing in the United States fifty series of reports of adjudications in courts of the last resort, but not more than three or four journals which treat legal subjects• scientifically. The re verse of this is bel loved to be the foot in Prance. There are thirty-eight medical, surgical, and pharmaceutical journals published in Paris, which number is not great when we consider the high reputation of the faculty in that city, and the fact that the subjects of these publications are of world wide interest. Through these journals the French faculty address the disciples of JEsculapius over the globe, and their foreign circulation is, proba bly, very large. The medical philosopher has this advantage over the legal, that while the teaching of the former is of unlimited applicability to hu .man wants or necessities, the teaohing of the lat ter is, for the most part, circumscribed within na tional bounds, and controlled by local circumstan ces. What gives, perhaps, an undue prominence and authority to the French medical schools is this, that Fronoh is the lingua Franca of this grand field of human research. Every tolerably educated dootor or surgeon in Europe and America can road French, but we very much doubt whether the French faculty can say as much for their ac quaintance with other tongues. Of periodicals expressly devoted to religion, there are forty-four, which is a greater nunAer than we bad supposed could be supported in France. If the fact could bo known, we have no doubt that those periodicals would be found to receive their chief support from the rural, as die- tinguished from the urban, population. The signi ficant fact involved in the word " pagan " points to such a conclusion. Tho veneration for the old religion lingers longest In the fields—dies out soon est in the cities. The throne and the altar are still sacred symbols among the farmhouses of France, though they may have lost all the radi ance of divinity among the dwellers in towns. I have always thought that the vote for Louis Sapp; leen was an Indication of this state of things. The anarchical Red Republican towns voted against him ; the religious loyal country voted for him. It is curious that towns, which aro always the cradles of liberty, are also always its coffins. Of those religious periodicals, much more than a pro portional share belong to the exposition of other dcotrines than those of the church of Rome. This is easily accounted for, without Implying greater re ligious vitality or activity. It is exactly what we see all over the United States In the distribution of the political press. If religion is well upheld in those forty-four pe. riodicals, it must be admitted that the forty-three which are devoted to the more pampa and vanities of dress—of that othei"god of France, mosle-,- are indignity() of the fact that the gay volatile French are abbut as much concerned in the au]; tore of their outward and mortal, as of their in ward' and. spiritual man. Of an these forty-three the fashionirare a leading primary object—of very many of them an exclusive one. Indeed, there are, besides those, some twenty odd periodicals, in which the fashi sus are only incidentally discussed; in that there may be in France about as maul , organa-oY: tate, i ,g, midi.° of :Fadden : Its ,there are organs oc,the Thapire oY Law „. :„Ttiere are flftyrone,pertodieats whi4 uphold the ,tntetiota'atWti s at we some - whet vaguely call litera 'tare:- piiblhth false, poetry, reitelve, esen,Ye i and iwiei 3 tillibit"-}ange between the great Englieh'qnaiterttes York Ledger: • Agriculture, hortioulture t .tand ',viniculture are 'Present-04 Weighteep periodicals, whilst theatri, cal altatrAtind.c . ritioism employ sixteen.

These last are exclusive of the publications which issue from the governmental establishments, and from the great national societies whose seats are in Paris They repre sent the activity of the French scientific mind outside of these organizations. There is a department in this periodical litera ture which might with great advantage be trans ferred bodily, by way of translation, to American uses. Many trades in_ France have an organ in which their Edwina principles, their improve ments, now forms, new prosesses ; in short, every. thing that pertains to the advancement of the trade interest is dieoussed. We have seen, in this country, the benefit which the art of the tailor has derived , from Such journals; there is not, at this day, a considerable village in the country, in which tailors may not be found who are masters of their business, every one of whom has acquired that mastery by the faithful study of his trade jetirnals. Thli French °china makers and shoemakers enjoy the advantage of two Peril; periodicals devoted to each of their trades. The miners and metallurgists have three. The hair-dressers, dyers, gas•fitters, hatters, decora tive painters, carriage and harness-makers, watch tankers, tanners, musical-instrument makers, ship builders, have each a metropolitan journal. The advantages of this to those occupations are incalcu lable. It is fair to infer that the highest taste end science in almost every given eidenPatien will be attracted to or developed in the largest ; cities, and that being so; these Paris trade periodicals gerner in these developments, and spread thorn over the whole surface of France, bringing those trades everywhere, in the hands of men who aro ambi tious of exoollonoe in their occupation, up to the Paris standard. Among the specialties of this catalogue are to be noticed two periodicals devoted to the protec tion of domestio animals from cruelty ; one to the recording of acts of courage, beneficence, genero city, ko ; one to the reciprocal interests of Prance and Russia ; one to the Isthmus of Suez canal-, two to the exposition of foreign nationality. There are nine colonial periodicals, of which four aro exclusively occupied with Algiers. In foreign tongues there are published nine in Span ish, three in English, two in German, and one, each, in Armenian, Italian, and Polish. These are of various objects—some political, some reit gious, some scientific. 'Fifteen periodicals appear to be of the nature of directories and advertising mediums. Thirteen of those are, generally or specially. eneyolopludio. The sports of the turf and of the field would seem to have become pretty wall established ; the French imitators of the manly amusements of ponds Albtatt are numerous enough to support, it would seem, six periodicals relating to" sport," horses, horsemanship, archery, and field games. The interest of gas consumers, and the economy of light and heat, are disoussed in two periodicals; embroidery and the useful employment of women in three; domostie economy in two; insurance in three ; mutual benefit societies in ono. The book business, printing, and publishing have in their several branohes eight journals, some of whioh are probably nothing more than such periodical catalogues as aro issued by the great houses in Germany, England, and the United States. Tho operations of banking, brokering, and the Bourse employ seven journals. At the bottom of a fourth page of foolscap one is reminded, that, however much he may have to write upon the subject he has in hand, there is a limit to the capacity even of the broad, long co• lumns of The Press, and that there are subjects of more lively interest to its hundred thousand road. era than this one of Parisian periodical literature: Y.

I took the hint, and fled for health. and protection from the intense heat, to Doubling Gap. And I assure you I congratulate myself on the selection I made. I find everything here necessary to give comfort, edee, and satisfaction. The Mansion House is a very commodious, clean, and airy build-, ing, surrounded by mountains, from whose green. clad heights cool and refreshing breezes blow at all hours. The locution is truly delightful. The waters are medicinal, and impart tone and vigor to the failing constitution. The sulphur and iron springs , have certainly great virtues. I run also very' much pleased with the table. The butter is golden,' the eggs fresh, the milk pure and cool, and all other edibles of a tempting and appetizing kind. The visitors are flocking in fast, and, from present indications, we will soon have a goodly company. I would advise my oily friends who are desirous of enjoying the delights of the country, with home comforts, to oomo to Doubling Gap. It has many attractions, and among them could be mentioned its unrivalled - Scenery It, is not Surpassed for grandeur and sublimity..

On the 19th of December, 1857, a mass meeting of the Democracy of Chicago was held at Light Guard Hall, and after addresses were delivered by Thomas Boyne, Rsq , and Dr. Brainard—addresses which, because of the strong language in ivhibh Lecomptonisin and Leeomptonites were denounced, we thought it prudent to deolina publishing—a com mittee on resolutions was appointed to express the sentiments of the meeting That committee con sisted of Thos. Boyne, Isaac Cools, Tram Nyo, and six others. Tho committee reported a series of resolutions, of which one was as fellows : Resolver!, That we fully concur in the senti ments expressed by the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas upon this subject, in his late speech in the United States Senate, (speech of December 9th ;) that they are in entire accordance with thefrequently avow ed and solemnly declared prinoiples of the Demo °ratio party of the Union, and that we wild, at all times, AND UNDER ALL CIRCUENTANCEN, MAINTAIN AND DEFEND TIMM. On the 9th of June, 1858, a convocation of office holders and oftioe-seekers was held at Springfield, and in that convocation were the three gentlemen whom we have named as part of the committee of the December meeting. These three gentlemen at Springfield voted for and endorsed the follow ing resolution : 8. That we cannot but regret the ruinous course taken by the only Senator in Congress from the State of Illinois who claims to be a Democrat, and decidedly condemn the overweening conceit with Which, in his speech of December 9th, 1857. be at tempts to account for what ho chose to consider the President's ignorance of the true principles upon which, the contest of 1856 was decided, and we no feli earnestly oondemn the suspleiius alacrity with Which the same Senator sought, by vehement and arrogant denunolation, to ingratiate himself into the good opinion of the enemies of the Democratic party in the North. These gentlemen pledged themselves in Deccan ! ber to "maintain and defend" the sentiments of • Douglas' 9th of Detiember spbeah, "at all times end under all circumstances," and now they as sail that same speech es so exhibition of "over weening conceit."

Ho has made a series of interesting experi ments between the ports of MarseillesOn•Franee, and Nice, in Italy. -A bag containing' nails and scrap-iron was suspended at the side of the steamer which plies between these pluses, and after a voy age of twelve hours there were, upon the iron, in dications of copper. Four separate voyages ware made before the beg was retrieved to the labora tory. The quantity of copper fouled in conjurie: tion with the iron was so great that much surprise was manifested by those interested• in seeing the result, that the presence of this metal had not been previously discovered, especially when the actin on ships' bottoms has long been known. - STRENGTH or WIRE ROPES.—A series of ex periments were made very recently at the Wool wich dockyard, England, to test the comparative strength of wire ropes, manufactured by Messrs Binks & Stephenson, under a new patent, end those made under an old one. The new ropes were made of the ratent'svire invented and manufac tured by Webster & Horsfall; Birmingham, which is unquestionably the most remarkable yet pro duced,, the weight which a very small-sized coil will bear being almost incredible. Tile break ing strain, under the old patent, and under the new, may be host judged by the cam• parison made. Thus, an inch and a quarter rope. made under the o!d patent, broke under a weight of two tone and five cwt., while under the now, to break the same thickness it regal - rid no lessthan tont tons nineteen cwt. A .weight - ofrfour tons six cwt. broke a rope of two inch diameter, made un der the old patent, while it required nine tons ten cwt to break ono of the same size nnder,the new patent. The English Board of Admiralty hail, the matter under consideration, with a view to its application to the rigging of the English navy. It may not be generally known, but it is none the leas a fact, that a portion of several miles' length in the very middle of the Atlantic cable (where it is supposed the greatest strain, will 'fall) is made of this very wire of Webster & Iforsfall. The wonderful superiority In. point of tenacity of this patent iron wire, may bo judged from the fact that a single strand of No. 9 (about the thickness of one-eighth of an inch) will bear 3,180 pounds before snapping, whilst the same sized strand, made of the ordinary best charcoal iron," snaps at 1,250 pounds weight. The agent of Messrs Webster and iforafall. in this country, is Mr. J P Nunn, of Birmingham, who is now resident in New York city. He is about making arrangements fiir 'the introduction into this country of the wire rope of these m n nufactu rers. TIIE LATE DENNIS CORCORAN.—OUT readers will remember the intelligence we gave a few days sines of the death of Dennis Comoran, Esq , of New Orleans, and fur a number of years oonneeted with journalism in that city. From the Delta of the 15th inst., wo learn that he wean native of Ireland, and came toNtiv Orleans in 1834. Shortly afterwards he commenAd a brilliant career in the press, as journalist and reporter for the Picayune. Eventually, lie became one of the founders of Chit New Orleans Delta, and remained in it as a pro prietor and editor, with slight interruptions, until 1857'. A few months ago he established the Sun day Magazine, in New Orleans, which was sus pended a few weeks since. At tho'Novereber election of 1853, Mr. Corcoran was elected on the Democratic ticket a Roprosenta• live from Now Orleans in the State Legislature. Having served out his term, be was subsequently elected, and served for two sessions, as reporter of the debstes of the' Louisiana State Senate. .The deceased left one son, about seven years of age. The poor lad is doubly an orphan, his mother having died several years ago. Captain Klineletter•s Account of the Loss of the Pennsylvania. The St. Louis papers contain Captain K.'s state-, moat in full. It appears that the boat was about twenty-five miles above Helena when the accident occurred. She had on board three hundred tons of freight, the United States mad for. Cairo, and ; about two hundred and fifty cabin and deck pas-, congers. Instead of bursting the boiler, she col, lapsed a flue, which blew out forward, and the boiler went aft. As it was about six o'clock in the morning few persona were out forward, and the' loss of life' was small, compared with the number of passengers, and was principally confined to the deck rissengers, deck hands, and firemen. In the cabin, but two ladies and four gentlemen, inclu-' ding a Catholic priest, are known to be lost. , No. one was injured in the ladies' cabin. Mr Brown, the pilot, is among the lost, having been blown up, and Mr. Bayless, the engineer, died from the: effects of a scald. The boat took fire in about twenty minutes after, the explosion, and after all the people had been' got off by means of a large flatboat which was brought alongside. She is, of course, a total loss.; Five of the mail bags aro said to have been re— covered. Tho passengers and others were com-; polled to remain in the flatboat, with nothing to oat or drink but thw river water, and with no me-: dical assistance to the wounded until 3 o'clock in' the afternoon, when the Imperial came along, which towed the flatboat down to Austin, where they remained until the Diana and Kate Frisbee came along, and took them up to Memphis No baggage or other effects were put upon the fiat- , boat, as it might not have been safe to load it any further. A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY ON THE COAST OF AFRICA.—By the Vanderbilt we have. the follow ing particulars of a terrible tragedy on the coast of Africa, nn account of which was given by the English war steamer Ethiope. Commander Croft, which arrived at Plymouth, England, on the Ist inst.: "In consequence of information received in Monrovia, Commander Croft left in the Ethiopo on the 14th of April, and on the 15th fell in with the French ship Ccell Regina, 420 tons, in the pos session of a large number of negroea who were not able to manage her After a parley, the second officer of the Ethiope, with part of the crew, went on board, when about 250 of the negroos swam to the shore, whore nearly the whole were murdered by the captain of the French ship and natives. It appears that the Ceeli Regina, which is com pletely fitted for the slave trade. had been cruis ing for a month near Cape Falinas, and, under the pretence of taking them to abetter plane, had secured 500 nogroes, whu were immediately pissed between decks, many of them in irons. When Cap tain Simoti was on shore at Manna, on the coast of Liberia, and part of the crew in a boat alongside, the ncgroes procured firearms and shot all but the doctor and two of the seamen, whom they retained to steer the ship. Captain Simon came within gunshot several times afterwards, but was cot .1. lowed to come on board. The Cecil Regina was towed into 'Moirovia, where she Wag left in pos session of the purger of the Ethlopo." A WANDERER PIM( NEW YORK.—We find the following in the St. Louis Republican of the 18th :rune : " Wo have a letter from Pisgah, Cooper county, Missouri, stating that about four weeks ago a young girl, nineteen years of age, calling herself Mary Elizabeth Stapleton, came to that place from Wyoming county, New York, as sho says.
