IMPUTED PLAGIARISMS
There is scarcely any thing more easy than
to trump up a charge of Plagiarism against an
eminent author. 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

The favorite Issue of French periodical litera
ture is (clearly the monthly, and, next to tbat, - the
weekly. 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;

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

DOUBLING GAP SPRINGS, CUMBERLAND
COUNTY
Correspondence of The Prase 3
Mr. EDITOR The suggestion contained in The
Press a few days since, that it would bo well for
our citizens to patronize the watering places of
their own State, instead of seeking pleasure at some
of the highly-fashionable resorts, has been acted
upon by many readers of your valuable journal.
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.. It would well repay a
lover of nature to spend a few days among these
dense old woods, these deep glens and tangled

that hide their !sends in the clouds Tho band—.

The Jones Party In Illinois.
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 :

On the 9th of June, 1858, a convocation of office

the December meeting. These three gentlemen

made before the beg was retrieved to the labora

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

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
