THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1868. jplra Bright, Edmund Burke, and Stc . , 'phen A. Douglas. , la . Goldsmith’s celebrated poem of “Ro • tallatlon,” in which be ploasantly, turned the tables upon . the remarkably goed.naturod friends who chose to ridicnle him, there are some lines sketching'the character of the famous Edmund Bukick, which, without much straining, may be applied to a modern statesman—not so ioarned or philosophical, perhaps, but a good deal more honest,' more practical, and more popular. It cannot be paid of John Bright, the present leader of ,the. Democratic party in England—who so closely resembles our owd Stephen A. Doua r.As in the character of his vivid eloquence •and tho high tone and purity of his patriotism —it cannot be said of John Bbmiit, as was said of Edmund Burke, that ' ' “ : —r-boin for the uoiyerfs, he narrowed hie mind, . And to party gave up wbiat was meant for mankind. ’ * , . Nor, from tlie popular, style of his ora.' tory, (which osohows recondite allusions and nltra-logical dissertations,and seizes uponfaots to-illustrate, his thought,) can it he said of Bright that, he ■ ' <■ 100 deep for hU hearers, still vent on reining, .' And thought ofconvtyilng, while they thought of *' dining.” “ J *‘‘ 4 Lord Buouaiuif, hiinsoif, scarcely excepted, the. best popular and parliamentary speaker of the present day in England, is this Manches ter cotton-spinner. In the Legislature, the cry « Jobh. Bbiuht is up,” immediately makes a rush of members jnto “ the House,” from -Bellamy’s, ftom tho library, from the writing-room, from the smoking-room, and none of these dream of retiring until tho spooch bo concluded, no matter how much time it has occupied. The same spell keeps a crowd of admiring auditors on tho gut vive when John Bbioht makes a post-prandial ora-, tion at a political knifo-and-fork festival. (In Ehgland, publio dinners aro tho groat safety-valves ot publio politicians.) In a public mooting of tho masses on the. hustings at an Election—any whero, in fact, « on the stump,” as wo would call it, Mr. Bbioht, is ocpially facile, self-sus tained, and convincing. He puts old truths into ■Hew and fitting garbs, and ho onunciates facts with a skill which almost converts thorn into arguments. Ho who can extract eloquence out of a big volume of dry statistics, who can blend sterile figures of arithmetic with fanciful figures of spocch, and make one subserve tho other, is no ordinary speaker. , Add to this a comely face, in which bold determination is mingled with clear sagacity and cheerful good na ture j a compact figure, which convoys tho idea of stability and resistance; a well formed head, with tho anterior organs of intellect, thought, and’ imagination very strongly devolopod; action, natural and im pressive, with a certain grace which imme diately intorosts you; searching eyes, in whoso blue depths a world of dolicato fancy, and droamy poetry, and tender pathos aro sometimes visible, shedding lambent light over his thoroughly Anglo-Saxon features, and a voice clear and ringing as a silver bell, audible in’ its lowest tono, and in its highest pealing forth the thunder-sounds of patriotic eloquonco which make the hearts of a mighty People swell with emotion, and whoso vi brations sound into tho very penetralia of Powor, liko as wo may imagine the clear note ftom tho summoning trump of tho mighty archangel, as described by Milton. • It will probably strike many of our readers that thoro is a great genoral rosomblance be twoon the oratorical characteristics of John Bright and Stephen A. Douglas. . Wo havo ofton-thought so. Both aro ominentty Men of tho . People—self-made, Self-educated, self, -rouarvr.*, KsvirgbruPK from and-both lo bOr for tho People. Above ail," both are honest to the core. Burke, as' a public, speaker, had little resemblance oither to Bright or Douglas. These men are natural, Burke was wholly artificial. These men are honest—tholr bittorost antagonists have never dared to say, oven to hint to tho contrary. Thoro is no blot npon tho escutcheon of oithor. Burke was a tricksy, trading, turgid, and truckling politician; tho voriost slavo of party; a dinor-out,at tho tables of tho nobili ty, and selling himself to tho Court, for a ponsion, aflor a life-profession ol patriotism. As it is considered a. sort of potty treason to say that Tou Moobk was a parasite and smell, feast, that old Goethe was a sensualist and wlne-hibbor, that Thackeray is “ something of a snob,” so it may bo looked upon as improper to say that Bubke was not an honost public man. Say it wo do, howovor, bocanso we boiiovo that wo can prove it, and, as an old writer flnoly has it, « It is for slaves to lio, and for.freemen to opoak the truth.” Bbiout and Douglas are eminently natural Bpoakors. Yot, as always with men of intel lect, when they think upon thoir legs, the fitting intonation and tho appropriate action voluntarily come, and “ Snatch a grace beyond the reach of art.” Bubke, on tho contrary, not only schooled hiinsoif as a public speaker by constant prac tice at tho Hobin Hood dobating soolety, (which, at a later day, had Grattan, Durban, Erskine, and Canninq among its members,) but was perpetually in tlio gallery of the House of Commons, and when he himself became a member of Parliament, took lessons in decla mation from Garrick, tho actor. Everything about Burke was artificial—his oratory, his patriotism, his very friendships.' To tho last, lio showed tho theatrical character of his elo quence. Evory ono recollects, no doubt, how, during tho excesses of tho French Revolu tion, a soeno was created in tile Houso of Como toons, by Burke’s committing tho outragoons absurdity of throwing a drawn daggor upou the floor, and shouting, to tho astonished mem bers, « This is what you will gain by an alli ance with Franco.” But every ono may not know how this oxtravagunco was summarily reproved by tho presonco of mind of Brinsley Sheridan, Who started up and oxclaimod, “ Thero is tho knifo—but whoro is tho fork ?” at which retort Burke scowled at tho wit, picked np his papers, and rushed ont of tho Houso, ioliowud.by a shout of laughter. The good nature of Biuoiit and Douglas is proverbial. Burke was essentially malevo lent. The rnnoorous nature of his hostility to Warren Hastings is recorded in tho his toric page. AYliilo tho trial of Hastings was proceeding, Bubke Baid to tho oldest son ot an ngod peer, who camo into tho manager’s box, In Westminster Hall, “ I am glad to see you boro; I shall bo still more happy to seo you there (pointing to tho peers’ seats;) I hops you will bo in at tho death; I should like to blood you!” Had lUs™aa been con victed, the penalty was death. Indeed, so deadly soomed tho sot which he made at Has tings, that one of tho opposing counsel (Mr. Law, afterwards Lord Ellenborouoii,) wroto tho following soVoro epigram, which was hand ed to him, in an envelope, jU3t as ho was about opening ono of tho charges: “Oft have we wondered that on Iriali ground No poisonous reptile has as jot boon found; Bovealed tho sooret stands of Nature’s work, She saved her venom to create a IiuRKB.” A particular characteristic of tho eloquence of John Brioiit, liko that of Stephen A. Douglas, is its spontaneity. On tho other hand, Burke never spoke without the most elaborate preparation. Consequently, ho was not a dobator. Ho delivered, not actual living speeches, hut philosophical dissertations, which ono half of his auditors could not quite understand, while tho remainder smiled or grieved over thoir inapplicability to tho suVjoet under discussion. In theso sot orations, and ho spoko none other, ho sometimes wont so far beyond tho sublime that ho fell into tho ridicu lous. Ono of his biographers says “ Tho numerous technical terms, derived ftom o variety of occupations, with which he enriched and invigorated his diction, often tended to disguise his meaning; and the luxuriance o 1 his fancy frequently betrayed him Into a ludi crous confusion of metaphor. He carried few of tho virtues ot his social deportment into tho House of Commons j where, on many ee casions, ho was coarse, intemperate, and reck less of indicting pain on those who were op posed to him in political opinions. His copiousness frequently bordered on prolixity j his praise, on lulsome 1 flattery; his indigna tion, on virulence j his imaginative flights, on nonsensical rhapßOdy; and his splendid dic tion, en gross bombast.” Very different, in deed, is tho oloquence of Bright and Dododas. In .Goldsmith’s character of Burke, .we And the lines : “ Though equal to all things, for all things unfit, Too nice for a statesman, too proud for a wit; For a patriot too cool, for a drudge disobedient, And too fond of the right to pursue the expedient.” This is very applicable to John Bright, except that ho is not “too cool” for a pa triot, being remarkably energetic. Bat, “ too fond of the right to pursue the expedient,” ho is what is called an impracticable man. Had ho to fight for' Catholic Emancipation, he would never have beon content, as O’Connell forced himseif to bo, with instalments, “ taking ton shillings to the pound,” as he nsed to call it. He would refuso less than all he was en titled to, and this makes him unfitted for the conduct of a Parliamentary Reform Bill through the Commons, In the ensuing session, though the Liberal party, setting aßide Mr. Roebuck and others, have thrust that respon sibility upon him! In this respect, therefore, he. greatly resembles Burke, and as greatly differs from our own illustrious and practical Douglas; ■ • Mignon’s Song. [For The Press.] Mignon is one of the most interesting oharaoters in the “ Wilhelm Meister’.’ of-Goethe; In early : ohildhood she was stolen from her home in Italy by a company of wandoring jugglers,;and trained by them to perform upon the rope. Wilhelm Meis ter witnesses one of those performances in which the child is abused—obtains possession of her, and becomes her protector. He is surprised, one'morn- > ing, at finding hor before his door, singing this song to a oithern wh'oh Bho holds in her hands. On finishing it a second time Bhe is silent for a moment, looks knowingly at Wilhelm, and asks; “ Knowost thou this land V* “It must bo Italy,” says Wilhelm (tho history of the ohild is as yet a mystery to him), << wheredid , st thou get the song?” "Italy,” says Mignon, with an earnest air; "if thou goest to Italy, take mo along with thee, for I am oold hore.” “ Hast thou boon there alroady, littlo dear?” says Wilhelm.

The jury have couTiolel him of man slaughter in .the first degree, the penalty for which is imprisonment for life, or ten years at the lowest. This Is one of the most remarkable criminal trials on re cord—the only one, indeed, where an individual has four times been put upon trial for a capital crime. On tbe first trial the jury were unable to agree, ten being in favor of a verdict for murder, and two for On the Becond he was found guilty of murder, and the sentence set aside by the Court of Appeals, on account of some informality of the judge. On the third be was again found guilty, and the verdict again set aside by the Court of Appeals, on the ground that his conviotiou was illegal, having been rendered by a jury consisting of eleven persons, though his counsel had conseutod to the withdrawal of a juror. He is now, on the fourth trial, found guilty of mao* slaughter, chiefly for the reason that two obstinate fel lows persistently refused to go for murder, but com promised on manslaughter. There were many who supposed the little ratoai would get olear; but if ho had, he would have been promptly put in quod again ; for it was arranged, in case of an acquittal, to arrest him on a change of burglary, committed a short time' before he killed Anderson.

Occasionally it happens that they * accumulate considerable fortunes,.and there have,been instances where large sums of money have been found .in tbe|r miserable homes. On .Wednesday afternoon Officer Taylor, of the Second district police, arrested a man named Matthew Bally at Fourth and Stanley streets, on the charge of practising this profession. .Matthew was a stout, abie-lookiQg man, and on 'his - way to the station house offered the officer two dollars and a half if he would rtleose him. The. officer, however, ; insisted upon his going to the station house, where a search was Instituted upon his person, which resulted in finding twenty,dollars, and it afterwards ascer tained that he owned the premises in which he resides —quite a nice three-story bririk'hoGse, in Coomb’* 1 alley. This is only one of the many .cases there are, no doubt, in our city, where these miserable impostors have suoteeded lu amassing small fortunes by prac- ; tfsing their impositions upon the unsophisticated and benevolent portion of our community. There are, of course, some objects .worthy of'Cbarity, but if they ap ply to the proper persons in the different wards their wants are always supplied.' Great* Excitement in the Fifteenth Ward-?. Attack upon Folios ■ Ovviobbs.—Alderman Conrow had three notorious characters before him yes terday morning on e charge of riotous -and disorderly conduct, and for attacking Police Officer Bohrer, while in the discharge of his duties. It seemß that on Tuesday night A party of the Western Engine company h&da very noisy and dangerous demonstration at the corner of Six teenth and Green streets, and when the officers of the district used Iheir utmost endeavors to silence the in. turl&ted mob and restore tranquility and quietness to that vicinity; the followers of “der machine” rushed on the officers and-attacked them with brioks, stones, and other weapops. Officer Bohrer was bruised very much, and suffered not a little from the effects of the blows he received; but notwithstanding the fearful odds against him, he succeeded in arresting James 'Smith, tbo ringleader of the crowd, and started for the station ’ house, when he .was again attacked and obliged to give up the prisoner. Later in the evening, Sergeant Wold* rigo arrested Smith at the cornerof Fifteenth and Spring Garden streets. Sergeant Woldrigb, with the assistance of Officer Gray, afterwards arrested two young meo, named Orlando Sawyer and Wm Theodore, who parti cipated in the attack upon They were all committed to prison in default of $7OO bail each, to take tbeir trial at the next term of the court. Highway Robbery and Attempted Mur der in Suipvbn SiRBKT An old offender, named John A. Donelsou, had a hearing before Alderman Fearing ton, yesterday morning, on a obarge of committing a highway robbery, and was sent below in default of bail. Tbe circumstances of the case are these: • About two o’clock on Tuesday morning, a man named Charles E. • Davies was walking up Shippen street, between Broad and Thirteenth streets, when Donelson approached him and inquired of him tbe time of night. Mr. Davis, not suspeetmg any evil design, pulled out his watch, when be immediately received a stunning blow over tbs head from a black-jack, which felled him to tbe groan'd. He was then relieved of his watch, and his pockets picked ‘ of|a considerable sum-of money and a bunch of keys. A young man was subsequently arrested, who gave tbe name of Samuel Coffin, and he is supposed to have struck the blow, which produced a very severe 1 Wound. ,Mr. Davis btyi suffered from the loss of blood, and whs too unwell tobe present at the hearing. The' stolen watch was a gold patent lever, and was valued at $l5O. Donelsou has been engaged jD.bold highway rob beries before, and it is to be hoped that ,he and Ooffia may receive a speedy trial for this last act of guilt. We hope this may be a warning to all good citizens to re frain from answering the inquiries of the rascals who have frequently played the same game for the purposo of robbing them of their watches. Obtaining Goods Under False Pbeten- CBB —Yesterday morning Alderman Ogle bal before himaGerauMfnamed Henry Wanborge. who was ar rested by Sergeant Wilhelm of tbe Eighth' ward, on a charge of obtaining goods unler false pretences The evidence elicited the following facts: A ; short time since, Wanborge went to the stationery establishment of J B: Smith & Company, in Chestnut } street, and representing that he was a; successful business mer chant of Butithore, succeeded in effecting a credit pur chase to tb« amount of $1,200. -Upon' inquiry being made, It was ascertained that the alleged Baltimorean was a swindler, and that this attempt to impose upon a Philadelphia firm was not tbe first that he had made. Information given to the officers led; them to believe that Wanborge was lurking about'the city, and after, a thorough search, he was taken Into custody at the cor ner of Sixth and Chestnut streets. In default of $l,BOO ball he was sent to prison to await his trial.'

Snow, and says that as the arrest was il legal, he leentltled to his liberty It thinks tbe Cana dian Government should demand the prisoner from the United States, In accordance with,what It terms “ in ~ternatloaal rights,” in order that his evidence might be obtained against the kidnappers.' In the meanwhile, Snow Is snngly ensconced inMoyamenstog prison) but, ' perhaps, when his two years’ term has expired, be will visit Canada, and afford whatever assistance lies in his power towards the punishment of the parties who suc ceeded in arresting him and transporting him over the boundary. The officers who susceeded in placing Snow in the hands of Officer Joshua Taggart, of the Recorder’s office, are still under bail on a chSrgi of kidnapping,’ although the slightest evidence has not been produced agvnstthem. In the whole of this matter. Mr Tag-- gert acted in a manner that reflected credit upon our , city detective system. AbBEST OF A P.UOILI9TIO INDIVIDUAL Yesterday morning Alderman Tlttennary had a'young mao named Dunbar before him os tbe oharge of creat ing a fight in a house of ill faue,kept In James street, by Mary Everly. It is alleged that Doinbar visited the place while he waa much iotoxfoated, and destroyed a great deal of the furniture, which alarmed the pro prietress, who ran into the street, and raised a cry of murder, where Dunbar followed and beat her over the head. The poJico were promptly on the gropni and ar rested Dnnbar, and after s scuffle ard a great deal of trouble, aucceeded In locking him up in the First dis trict station house. He‘exhibited tbe same pugilist.c propensities at the hearing yesterday morning, not withstanding the Alderman’s reprimand, and struck tbe officer a violent blow in the face while he was giv ing his testimony. Ho also attacked Officer Mitchell who entered the offics during the progress of the cate. For this combination of offences Alderman Tittermary demandeds3, oo) bail, In default of which Dunbar took his departure for the stone mansion. Descent on a Disorderly notorious Pat White had a hearing before Aldermau Freeman yesterday morning on Ihe charge of keeping a miserable, filth? den at the corner of Penn'and Lom bard streets.

In this miserable hovel thirty persons, of both colors and sexes, frequently sleep at night, lyir g arouml in spots, and eDjojing the deleotar hie comforts of a home and eomfortabie dormitory at the reasonable rate of a penny apiece for lodgings. “ Rale old Monongahela,” too, can be obtained, at this model establishment at the extremely low rate of a pehny a “ smile,” after indulging in which they soon become oblivious'to all around them ; and if this es tablishment be broken up, as it doubtless will he, it will long be mourned by the host of Patrick’s friends, who have had bo many fine times under its time-honored roof. Meetino of the Allegheny County Bohd noLDßßa.—At twelve o’clock Yesterday, a meeting of the Allegheny county bondholders was held at room 34 in the Merchants’Exch*Dge. Mr. J B.

' Some Apples.— Over thirteen himdred bar rels of apples have been shipped from Bast H&d dam, Conn., within tho : lasb few,weeks, and. in the same time, over seventy thousand gallons of cider have been sent off. The Rescued Africans of the Echo. Dr. Barney who acooihpanled the rescued negroes of the slaver Echo to. Liberia, gives a very in teresting account of the .voyage. "The Sufferings of the' nogrooi from their diseases, were terrible. N Seventy-one of theJtwo hundred! and feventy-one died before the Niagara reached'Monrovia. He says: ',. .'.[ ' ;; ‘, ; _ .“It wasltha a large hosoon them twice every IH the. warm. latU tudes, whioh became indispons'able'tothe sanitary condition'of the ship. It was exceedingly difficult to induce the men to wear a vestige of olothing. The women were far, more modest and deoent. Adi wore strings of beads, or charms, and gregres: some around the nooks, and others around the arm or ankle. Every one bore the nnmistekeable brand of their former owner; which Is gonerally about an inch and a half square, and somewhat la tho shape of aG- Nearly every soul was tat tooed ; fomo -all over the ohest, shoulders, cheeks, and forehead. Many had the flesh raised in half cords a auarter of an inch high', a half inch wide, and. in the various windings, probably a foot, and even two feet long. One, a-remarkably modest, quiet, distant, and apparently intelligent girl, whom they called'.the “Princess,” was markod all over the ohest and abdomen, and from the nook over the shoulders and hack to the hips. It was one continued figure of flowers, stars, clusters, Ac., such as would be wrought on a lady’s collar, if it presented a surface of three square feet. Sho was evfdontly conscious of some superiority, and oonduoted herself like a lady. “Singing was a daily and really delightful amusement, especially when the sun shone out warm, and by some common oonsent their strifes about blankets, bread, pans, and pouches ceased for about an hour; which, however, was really very seldom, not only while living, hut actually while dying. Their leader was a little fellow about thirty inohes high, with a bis head, nearly blind, whom we knew oftly as “ Maintop.” He led the music with a grace and fervor that would have pleased Jullien. They sang in perfect time many wild and highly awakening songs, and espe cially pleased us in their choruses, whioh at times wound up with a wild and really thrilling effeot. constantly got iato fights, but never gave a ’blow. It was a senseless poll and tug for hours together, while the parties to the fray would cry and complain like children. They seemed by no means destructive in their propensities ” “A moat, singular case, however, ooourred on board. Wehad just been reading Dr. Livingston's account of the numerous ordeals for wltohcraft, when at the breakfast hour we heard a scream and souffle on deok. It proved to be the only contest for life and death which came under our notice, aud was between two women. One, the mother of a very sick and Ungoring babe, aooused the other of having bewitohed herohild, and, determined to kill her, was aotualty choking her*to death. The sailors found it difficult to separate them. The mother wept franUcally, and demanded the * or deal’ test of tho witch, averriog that both her babe and herself would havo to die. Nearly all of them sympathised with the mother, as, according to their theory, no ono can die a natural death. The oaptain had her immediately put into irons, and it was not until night oameon that she begged tobe relieved, and promised that sho would no further molest the witoh. As soon as the witoh stepped on shore in Monrovia she recognised in a large, tali, black man her Congo brother, who had been stolen and shipped on the Pons, hnd finally sent to Liberia in 1845. The meeting was posi tively touchingly affecting. He states that Liberia is in a prosperous condi tion, and says: “ Liberia is evidently advancing, and if she oan only be preteoted by Christendom tyom tho out rages whioh Prance is practising on her, and whioh cause nine-tenths of the interior wars that woakon her, she will rapidly assume a position of interest to ns and to the world, in trade as well as In tho progress of civilization. I have nowhere elße seen a plooe on earth so well fitted for the hopeful development of the colored man as Libe ria. A general remark to mo by colonists was, t ibis, sir, is a great country for darkies.’ I was most forcibly impressed with the faot, especially after leaving the poverty-stricken and beggtog population of the Cape Verdes, that but one sin gle soul asked me for alms during the nine days that I was on shore.” Tue closing numberof the fourth volume of Ap pleton’s'New Amerioan Encyclopedia contains the following notice of ono of our oitizens: Cassin, .loun, an American ornithologist, born near Chester, twelve miles from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 6,1813.
