Among his very • first inquiries was a -parscoutar
ene concerning the 'members of your own firm;
your health, the state and prospects of your bu
siness, ko., manifesting the deepest interest;
adding the remark that, through all the years
of his business and personal connection with your
firm, he" had never experienced anything but
the gieatest kindness and Consideration at your
hands; that his enjoyment of your success was un
diminished: and that he felt particularly grate
ful for the kindly mention which had been made
of his personal affliction last year in your paper,
and for the handsome notioe of the third vo.
fume 'of his Philip II in the current number of
your Magazine.
"He then proceeded to a mention of various
mutual friends that bad passed away since our
last meeting; especially of the Hon. Abbot Law
rence, and Francis C. Gray, Esq., at whose din
ner tables we had often mot; and then of some
of his surviving friends, especially of George Tfok
nor, E. who, he said, had shortened and bright
ened what, hot for him, must have beett iilan' a
sad and weary hour; and of Mr. Agessiz, con
oernini whose museum he expressed the liveliest
Interest. He remarked that the eyes of the tat
, ter bad suffered greatly from his work, and that
he would be sadly balked' in his prospects, but
thathe was able to find relief in manifold maul
palming labors. This led him naturally to spook
of Ws own and my infirmity, which were about
equal in degree; and of the different lives we had
led; his, of a retired study, mine, of travel and
active toil.
"lie added: 'I suppose that Ticknor wilt
never write another book ; but he has boon doing
perhtps better for the community and posterity by
devoting himself for several years to the interests
of the Bolton City Library, which may be taken in
goodpart as his work—and a more valuable con
tribution to the godd of the people has seldom
beenmade. It is a rare thing for shah an institu
tion to get a man so randy qualified by taste'
knowledge, and accomplishment to look after its
interests with such energy and patience.'
' , at Mr. Gray he observed : Poor Gray ! I
think ho was the most remarkable man I ever
know for variety and fullness of information, and
a peeled Command of it. Ile was a walking en
cyclopedia. Ihave seen many men who had et
oelleat memories, provided you . would let there
tura to their libraries to get the information you
wanted; but no Matter on what subjeot you spoke
to him, his knowledge was at his fingers' ends,
and entirely at your service.'
"lie then led the conversation to his English
friends, to some of whelk he bad given me letters
on say recent visit to that country. He first spoke
of Toady Lyell, the wife of the celebrated polo
gist. She is one of the most charming people I
hats ever seen,' he said. When she married Sir
Chivies she know nothing of geology; but finding
that her life was to be passed' among stones, she
setherself to work to make friends of them, and
hac done so to perfection. Ste is in thorough sym
patty with nll her husband's researches and
works; is the companion of his journeys; often
times his amanuensis, for her hand has written
several of his booke ; and the delight and cheer of
hit whole llfe. Unaffected, genial, accomplished,
and delightful to an almostunequalled extent, she
Jenne of the rarest women you can meet. And,'
he continued, you saw my friend, Dean Millman.
}That an admirable person he is ! I had a letter
horn him only is day or two since, in which he
gave "Interesting account of the opening of
bk cathedral, St. Paul's, to the popular Sunday
evening preachings—a matter which has enlisted
ail the sympathies of the Bishop of London and of
kmeolf. He has been a prodigiously hard worker,
sad so has acquired a prematurely - old look. Ac
complished as historian, divine, poet, and man of
litters, ho is at the same, time among the most
agreeable and finished men of society I saw in
Hoglund.
. Did you see Dean Trench?' he proceeded.
upon my replying in the attirmative;ho added :
am sorry never to have seen him; I have
wird such pleasant things concerning him. He
did me the favor some time since to send me his
Calderon, whioh I enjoyed greatly.' Replying
in the negative to my inquiry as to whether ho
fttl read the Dean's books on Words, etc.; he
hold, • They shall he the very next books I road.'
" Bogland's a glorious country,' he said;'isn't
It? What a hearty and noble people they are,
and how an American's heart warms towards them
after he has been there once and found them out
in their hospitable homes!'
"I said : 'Mr. Prescott, arn't you coming to New
York? We should all be very glad to see yen
there.' No;" he replied; suppose that the
days of my long journeys aro over. I must con
tent myself, like Horace, with my three houses.
You know I go at the commencement of summer
; to my oottage by the sea-side, at Lynn Beach; and
at autumn to my patrimonial acres at Pepperell,
which bee been in our family for two hundred
years, to sit under the old trees I sat under when
a boy; and then, with winter, come to town to
LAING & MAGINNIO
hibernate' in this house. This the .only tr vet.

"In another part'of the eonvnisation he avid :
. . . . .
These men with eyes have us at a serious dimd.
'vantage, haien't they? While they run we can
only at t have nothing to 'complain'
nor have you; Providence has singularly taken
'care of us both, and by compeneatien- keeps the
balance even.' "; . . •
"He then spoke with entire calmness of„ the
shook,whiell his system had. received tremble first
stroke of . apoplexy last year ; said that. it had
weakened him a good deal,. but was very grateful
thrit he was yet enabled to enjoylife,and work.

he Said, a pleasure rather than a toil ; and hope
to do so ;with the remainder of Philip, ae I am
yet' able . to nOrk two Or three, and sometimes more,

eonsiderablyfrom theblow, and while we talked he
found it neodssary to shade his face. In the entree
of the converhation we were joined by the ladies of
the family; Mrs. Preildatt,.hor sister, hiddaughter,
and daughter-in;MT. then :spoke in glowing
and grateful terms, as -I alluded to the interest ta
ken' in his health through Out the : oonntry, to the
kindness which he had invariably experienced at
the hands of his countrymen. , 'I eanntiver,' he said,
be fraffiobritly grateful for the, takens.of
. oeteem,
regard, and affeotion which I have had from them
through all , the years of my literary:career. _True,
it makes me feel like an old Mon to see my. fifteen
Volumes upon the shelf,.but my heart is as young
as it ever was to enjoy the Jove whioh the country
hes ever shown me.' When I said it was a °hear t.
ful thing for a,man to know he had giien so muoh
happiness ash° had done by his books, he said that
it was his own truest happiness to trust that he.
had been,able ,to confer it. Ile, said he hoped to
live to finish Philip, which was now three-fifths
done. As I bade him good-bye, I said,God
bless, you, Mr., Prescott; ,know I breathe the
prayer of the country .when I say may your life
be spared for many 'years, to .add volume after
volume to the fifteen,'., Be rejoined, ' My, great
est delight is destine of my friends and their ap—
preciation of my labors.' , ,
...Little did L think that the hand
,whioh so
;warmly grasped Mine as he led me down the stairs
would, ere eight•and•forty hours were past, be oold
and stiff in death. Peace to the memory of one,of
the sweetest and noblest men that ever lived!
" Yours r very truly,
"Ntnurtat H. Mumma."
.It will not unnaturally be expected that this
journal should contain some allusion to the busi
ness relations whioh subsisted for so, many years
,between, Mr. Presoott and Messrs. Harper &Broth
ers. Mr. Prescott'S first work, ,the "History of
Ferdinand and Isabella," was originally published
in Boston. ills succeeding histories—" The Con
questof liexicO,". and ',' The Conquest of Peru"—
bore,tom:the Ault, the imprint . of the Harpers.
Some Years after thsappearance of the latter work
offers so adientageons, apparently, were made to
Mr. Prescott bye, Boston house, for the privilege
of publishing hie works,, that the Messrs. Harper
coinoided with his other friends : in advising him
to accept them. .
So pleasant had been the intercearse , between
Mr. Preseott and .the Messrs. Harper, that the
severanad'of the business relations was a Ronnie
of more than usual regret to, the latter ; swift is
with unordinary satisfaCtion that they remember
that these feelings were shared by the illustrious
historian. , ,
Tho Messrs. HprPer believe that at the present
moment, when so much interest attaches to every
thing relating to Mr. Prescott; they are violating
no_oordidenoe In publishing the following lettere,
which, it is needlesti to remark, would never have
aeon the light en long ice their writer lived
, it Lyme, July 19, 1854.
Mews. Harper Brothers :
DEATt duly received yours of the 10th
instant, and read its contents with sincere regret,
it announced tome the dissolution of the busi
ness relations that have so long subsisted between
us. I shOuld.hav,e replied sooner, but I have been
unavoidably, delayed
,in bringing my arrange-
Monts t he, with,: wther hotum to a close; and I
*Oiltditi t i r . a tt,! , t'Sk 0 4P ev,egriflt 4stiattf4n
with my ' ilesoiliteelgore gomnintilentiim
"a l f Wive angina with them for the publication
of•my new history of .Philip the Second,' and for
that of the former histories simultaneously. •
And now allow me to say this is one of the
most unpleasant letters I ever wrote in -my life,
since It is to break off a long and pleasant inter
course with friends with whom I-have never inter
changed any words but those of kindness and re
gard. And these feelings trill- not be lessened, I
am sure, between us. l'or you will have the can
dor to admit that it would be too great a sacrifice
of my interests for me to decline proposals which
secure to me the certain payment of fifty thousand
dollars; independently of the usual copyright on
the sales of the octavo editions of theeld histories.
- .
g , As I dislike mysteries, I shOuld meritiOnthe

not to do for the present:
"BeHoye me, my dear 8 4 8 )

A year afterward M 7. Prescott again wrote :
treirr, luly 24th, 1855.
"Messrs. Harper 4- Brothers :
I. * * * * I am entering on a
new enterprise in my arrangements with the Bos

But whether well or ill, I cannot forget the long
and pleasant relations I have had with you, in
which the good understanding that should subsist
between author and publisher has not been inter
rupted for a moment. Every year of our connec
tion has confirmed me in the opinion I had early
formed of the high and honorable 'character of
your house, for every member of widish I beg to
express sentiments of the most sincere regard.
" Believe me, dear sirs,
" Very truly your friend,
"Wu. H: PRESCOTT."
And again, in Mr. Presoott's last letter to the
Meer. Harper, he says :
" DowroN, March 1,1858.

THE BROOKLYN kirsawkna.--We yesterday
gave, by telegraph, a short account of a fire in
Brooklyn, by which four persons lost their lives.
The New York Times contains the following par
ticulars of the sad affair : " The fire was first dis
covered soon after three o'clock, yesterday morn
ing, by some person passing in the street. Mr.
Thomas Gill was the first ono in the house who
discovered tho fire: He immediately roused his
companion, and gave the alarm. The inmates all
rushed to the stairway, but found their retreat
cut off by the fire in this direction ; they could not
descend even to the second story. In the excite
ment of the moment, all entered Mrs. Gill's room.
Mr. Gill took several blankets and tied them to
gether, and, fastening one end, threw the other
out of the window, and lowered himself part way
down, when he missed his hold and fell to tho
frozen ground. In his fail his head came in con
tact with an iron fence, and he received a severe
scalp wound. He was followed by Mr. Graves,
who also fell a portion of the distance, and sprain
ed his ankles One of the sisters (Keegan) went
to the back room about this time, and with
some kind of a string lowered herself out of the
back window. The cord was not long enough to
reach the ground, and she hung suspended in this
condition until the night-sap on her head caught
fire. when she left go her hold and fell into the
yard. One thigh and one arm were broken by the
fall, and she received other injuries.
What we have related thus far transpired
within a few minutes Mrs. Gill, about this time,
was seen at the window imploring for help. The
blanket-rope still hung out of the window, but she
could not be induced to take hold of It. A fireman
at this time seined hold of it, and giving a slight
jerk, it broke loose. Mrs. Gill was then urged to
throw out a bed and jump upon it, but she soon
disappeared. By this time Hose Company, No. 3,
and Engine Company, No. 16, had streams of
water upon the fire, and it was soon extinguished.
As soon as it was possible to reach the third story,
Mrs Gill's body was found in a sitting positioh,
near the window of her room, with her arm clasp
ing her two children. Near them was the girl
Keegan. They were but little burned, and a
coroner's jury has rendered a verdict that all died
from suffocation. The origin of this Are is wrapped
in mystery.
The names of the dead aro as follows :
Mrs. Elisabeth Gill, aged about 30.
Helen fill, daughter, 6 years old.
Mary E. Gill, 2 years old.
Anna Keegan, servant girl, 18 years old.
Mrs. Gill was born in Philadelphia, and was
much respected by all who knew her.
,Her hus
band left his home for Philadelphia on..Priday
last. The sad intelligence was telegraphed to him
yesterday morning, and he was expected home by
the late train last night.
THE Crisointim PAPERS state that eight
out of ten men arrested by members of the
police department, are armed either with a dog.
ger, pistol, or sluntshot. This is an illustrative
commentary upon the present condition of society.

But a third party, which seeks, by apeciallegis

here of the' official agents eniployed by the Lind

I do not think that the Secretary in an deciding
consciously yielded to this clamor, or attempted
to make character for the AdMinistration by the
cheap mode of sacrificing the rights of ittioppeL
