, 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. ’ *

.' And thought ofconvtyilng, while they thought of

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. Bat the child is
silent, and nothing more can be got out of her.

mease certain. The jury have couTiolel him of man

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. On the day after the mar
dor, a lady called at the station-house and recognised
Concern! as the man who entered her house, in £t.
Mark’s place, and on her giving the alarm, caught hold
of her and attempted to stab her, hut she broke away
from him and he escaped. The warrants were in readi
ness, and Deputy Superintendent Carpenter wpuld have
arrested him in case ho had been acquitted. Such is
the romance of iniquity.
If any dohbts had been entertained of (he pecuniary
snccßis of the approaching Miunt Vernon festival, they
were removed yesterday 5 for, notwithstanding the
dirty, comfortless state of the weather, upwards of two
thousand tickots were sold within a few hours after the
opening of tho ticket-cfficea. So $6,000 is sure t) be '
added to the fund, at all events. I understand, pri
vately, that something very grand is contemplated in
the way of tableaux, Bourcicault having volunteered
to got them up in the very best ((Phantom” and
(‘ Jessie Brown” style.
The petty personal rquabbles at Albany about the
observatory will probably lead to one auspicious re
suit—the establishment of an observatory here. Meet

prospect that money enough will be raised to ereot, in
the Central Park, ono of tho best in tho world.

Dr. ttalliardet, who oleverly managed to abrquatuiate
from the custody of a police officer, just as he was about
to bo sofltenced to Btate Prison, is understood to be in

for being ((convenient,” but it turns out that the Eacu

tho views of his former custodian. Pity !

The Autograph business doesn’t seem to flourish.
Putnam offcred.a choice lot at auction yesterday, but
the attendance was thin and prices thinner. A few
aatograpb letters or Thomas Carlyle, with a portrait,
brought only fifteen shillings. A thtee-page letter and
portrait of Bolwer was knocked down at $1 60. A
letter of Robert Browning brought only fifty cents,
while notes and letters from authors of lesser note
went for about the prlco of a toddy.

are, they are thrown in the shade by E. H. Butler’s
magnificent “ Gallery of Famous English and Ameri

bars long been as eye-sore to our city; are so accus
tomed to this way of securing a livelihood, and have
found It so agreeable and easy,' that they “Train up'
their ohildren In' the same way* with ,the hope that
when they get old they will not depart frdm it ” They
tell the same pilifnl tales-their parents told before
them; their faces'assume tha same woe-begone and
forlorn expression which their..parents* hsd; and, in
many cases, they support their parent?, .who, after
practising their profession for a certain -length of time,
retire, too lazy.to work, .and.almost; too -lazy to
beg. 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

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.' A portion
of.the.jKopeEty.obtalnedby the prisoner baa..been ra-‘

The Reoent Arrest'of E- L. Snow.—Tbe
Toronto Globe devotes a little editorial comment to
what it calls, the kjdmpping of the New York silk
dealer. E._L. 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.

Freeman yesterday morning on Ihe charge of keeping a
miserable, filth? den at the corner of Penn'and Lom

of the Springfield (Illinois) Journal advertise that

An incorrigible bookworm, turning over
some old manuscripts, the other day, at the Impe
rial Library, in Paris, tumbled out a strange,
musty piece of paper, which proved to be a pawn

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,

“Singing was a daily and really delightful

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

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. He has resided
in Philadelphia since 1834, and, excepting a few
years partially given to mercantile pursuits, has
devoted himself to his favorite study of ornitho
logy. He has contributed descriptions of new spe

tho “Prooeediugs” and the “Journal of the
Philadelphia Academy of Natural Science ; and
his more elaborate publications are “ Birds of Cali
