Some separate articles, not inoludod in this list, merit especial notice, as being full with out diffusenessWo would especially point to Cydldpmdia, Dictionary, Culm, Distilicry,Deafaud Dfltab, Dance of Doatb, Eclipse, and Educa tion. There aro somo omissions—including tho late Thomas Davis, yrho, by pen and speech, did so much, for Irish literature, sixteen years ago— but a Cyolopaulia is not a biographical Dictionary, £o notice ovory ono., The Harpers hnvd, republished tho hook of American Travel, written by Charles Mackay, tho popular lyrist, and recently brought out In London. Tfc boars tho narno of “ Life and Liberty in Amerioa; or, Sketches of a Tour in the Uultod States and Canada in 2857-8,” and is onrichod with ton spirited wood-ohgravinga. Although Dr. Mackay wounded Philadelphia, in a very sensitive part, by declaring that our houses, pavements, ohapels, and churches were tho oolor of “ flory drab,’ 5 and by expressing a distaste for tho dirty cleanliness which la perpetually washing our pavements, contrary to UDWgftFdod oivio ordinances, we can give his want of taste as inuoh pity as itnoods, and allow him in dependently to form and oxpress his opinions. Ho told' Baltimore that her Battle Monument was “more suggestive of*a ponoil-oaso standing upon a snuff-box or a drawing-room table than of apiece of architecture. 7 ’ Dr. Mackay arrived at New York in Ootober,. 1857, and left Boston in May, 1858. To use his own words, “ he traversed tho Union from Boston to New Orleans, by St. Louis and tho Hfiulesipi>V'&nd returned to New York by land through ‘tho Slave States,” afterwprds visiting Canada. , This was a vory ’extensive tour, the details of which are graphically told. If, as wo believe, tho boat prose is written by poets,, thoro oan hie no difficulty in accounting for the clearness and ability with which, all through,'Dr. Maokay expresses himself. Thoro Is ho attempt at fine writing, or'fit strong writing, but we havo good, solid, and often graceful writing in this book. Ho says ft Ho returned from America with a greater re spect for the pcoplo than when he first sot foot upon the soil.” He adds “Progress crawls In Europe, but gallops In America. Tho rooord of European travel may bo fresh ten or twonty years after it 1b written, but that of America becomes ob solete In four or five. It took our England nenrly a thousand yoars, from tho days of tho Heptarchy •to those of William IH, to become of os much &o coupt |u the world os the : United States have be come lu the lifo-timo of old men who still linger among u*. ” exprosaes-iaoU-sUvary^ . ufton»-wlti«h will make them largely readi Ho disapproves of slavery in tho Southern States, but also declares that the “ anti-slavery speeohos, books, and resolutions [of the North} savor of hypocrisy and false pretence.** Dr. Mack ay haa serious fears of tho increase of tho slave population. Ho anticipates that, though tho United States may not annex Canada, they “ will certainly annex to themselves all tho moribund re publics between Texas and Panama,.including, of course, tho wholo of Mexico.” Ho conjectures that “the time may come when tho New England States, weary of participating in the slavory which they cannot abolish, may soek to effect a legislative union with Canada ; when New York and tho Mid dle and the Wostern States may form another con stellation of republics, and' when the South, ox tending to Panama, may cultivato its ‘ domestic in stitution* and cotton at tho same timo, defying North or Wost, and tho whole world to trouble it; and when California and tho other Commonwealths on the Pacific soft-board, from rnero considerations of distance and locality, may set up in business for themselves, M Wo have received much pleasure from tho portual of Dr. Maekay’s frank and ablo book. It is worthy of regard with Jnmos Stuart's America and a work on the snme subject, pub lished some thirteen years ago, from the pen of Al exander. Mackay, (a cousin of tho Dootor,) ono of tho most promising young men of his time. \Yo must not omit drawing attention to the “snatches of swoot song” which occasionally appear In this book. Tho ohaunt “Down tho Mississippi’* will certainly live, while tho lyrical tribute to Mr. Longworth’s Catawba wine, and the ballnil “ John and Jonathan,’* which tho author recited at a din ner given to him in Washington, contain sonti ments which, wo believe, will find an echo in many hearts, hero and in “ the old country.” Tb° late Dr. Jabcz Hunting, for forty years tho acknowledged lent}®** of tlje Methodists in Great Britain, wa? a man eminently dcsorving of good biographical notioo. Thomas Pcroival Bunting, his second son, a lawyer In Manchester, has just pub lished tho first volume of a biography which, though it might have boen better written, —for T. P. Bunting has not inherited his father’s ability, as tyrjtof pr.s£>cakor-—very fully traces his career down to tho year 1812, tho pofiQfl when his capacity and sagacity had mado him a man of mark. Dr. Bunting’s older son, who is a Methodist proachor, was tho proper person to write this Lifo, but tho pressure of his clorioal duties and his foeblo health prevented this. Mr. T. P. Bunting puts too many figures on his oanvas, and seems to bo plagued with the idoa that ho should givo sonio account of -almost every friond or contemporary of his father. This brooks Into tho continuous history of Dr. Bun ting and confuses tho reador. In many oases, too, tho year-date isnotgiren, and when the reader wants to know at what timo an incident occurred, he must go back a dozen or, twenty pages to fish out tho year. Jaboz Bunting, though tho son of poor pa rents, had tho advantage of receiving a vory good education, and of living in the family of tho late Dr, Peroival, of Manohostor, as his amanuonsig and friond. Ho commonooi lifo as a local proachor, about the ago of twenty, find after ho Was admitted by tho Conforonco, was transferred to London, whore, notwithstanding his youth, his preaching and toaobing were most useful. After this, having marriod oarly, ho was sueooasivoly removed to Manchostor, Sheffield, and Liverpool, whero the first volume loayes him. Ifis career, after that, and more particularly sineo 1835, when ho became President of the Theological School, thon estab lished) was eminently distinguished. Ho was four timos President of tbo Methodist Conference, and, indeed, had so much iijflqonco find power that ho was familiarly callofl “Ropo Runting." *3Jp coroly devotod to tho doctrines and discipliuo of tho Methodist Church, as left by John Wesley, tho wholooarocr of Jaboz Bunting was ominontly nttd persistently conservative as regarded thorn. Neither in tho pulpit nor yot upon tho platform, was Jabez Bunting wbatpQuld.fiiirly bo called elo quent. Buthe was sensible, practical, Qloay, and earnest. Ho preached and ho spoke as a man who belioved in what ho taught. To a certain oxtent ho was arbitrary—justifying what ho ww once called, “thatproud son of Adam, Jabcz Bunting.” But bo was noithor irritablo, oaprioious, nor pro eliming. His administrative faculties wore won derfully groat. He had a mind to plan and also to cxocuto. Lattorly, ho appeared not a little dicta torial—but hts equals in ago and experionoo found nothing of this. In tho private relations of lifo ho was amiable, virtuous, and happy. Ho gained the respect oven of his opponents—Jaboz Bunting cor tainiy had no enemies—and his death, last yoar, at the ago of eighty, was felt as a loss not by the Methodists alone, but also by various other Chris tian denominations. Wo ballore Jaboz Bunting to have been a downright honest man, well-meaning, and thoroughly imbued with Christian faith and feeling. As we are upon tho subject of Methodism, lot ns hero draw attention to a work which wo have had on our table for aovernl months, vainly hoping for room to publish such an oxtended criticism upon It as it ominontly merits. This is tho first volume of a “ History of Methodism, from its Origin to Us Hundredth Anniversary, 1839.” Its author is the Rev. Dr. Abel Stevens, This first volume gives 1 (he history tho origin of Methodism to tho death of George Whitefiold, in 1770. A more diffi cult task than that undertaken by Dr. Stevens can scarcely be imagined. For, ho wrote not only for “ tho people called Methodists,” but for the world outside their religious persuasion. We bavo care fully perused bis whole history of the Wesley fami ly—for what record of Methodism could omit them ? —and must declare that a more candid, lucid, and , instructive series of roligious biographies we have never rood. Dr. Stevens has no sectarianism. He puts tho History of Methodism on the broadest Christian basis. Wo hope soon to see the forth coming second volumo, which will complete the history of British Methodism, and will also record tho last twenty-ono years of John Wesley’s life. This volumo, we believe, is now in the press, and will immediately bo published by Carlton A Por ter, of New York. The Autobiography of Col. David Orookott, first published in 1834, was an amusing book, whether authentic or not. A new edition of it, with badly-drawn and rather coarsely engraved illustrations, has just been brought out, by oar neighbor, Mr. G. G. Evans—one of tho few persons, we believe, who has made tho Gift Book enterprise profitable to himself and satisfactory to hiacus toraers. Mr. Evans does not endeavor to gull the public by boosts of having extended his business transactions all over the habitable world, and a good way beyond. He thinks it sufficient to have customers in every part of the Union—from Maine and Minnesota to Texas and the • Atlantic .to seaboard,- • We do not pre* tend to fcnbw kow ho does business4b';. hi to inike liberalglfla/ But—*Ae does it. 'wo believe that ready money; judiciously expended,’ will buy books and jewelry'at rates which ,tho" uninitiated can' havo no notion of. With , tho immense business which Mr. Evans doos, oven aprofitof ten percent, would yield ‘ him a good-income. Coming hack, howeror, to Crockett’s Autobiography* Wo think the book a very agtoeablo and readable one. Ap pended to sovoral of tho chapters aro eomo feoble, common-place notes which no onewlll care to read. The familiarity, on the engraved title, of calling the hero ” Colonel Davy Crockett’.* is vulgar, to say the loast of it. Tho running heads ate in the same fashion. “ Davy goes a hunting,” “ Davy joins Jackson’s army,” “ Davy" does this, and “ Davy" doos that. Those imperfections excepted, tho Life of David Crockett, a bravo, unpolished man, is well worth reading. The Harpers have published the concluding por tion of Charles Lover’s, new stoi% “ Gerald Fits gorald, tho Chevalier.” The hero is represented as the legitimate son of Prince Charles Stuart, the last “ Pretender,” by an Irish lady. His ad ven tures are full of romance, taking him to Franoe as well as to Italy. Tho finale appears very much hurried up, as if the author had to aloso tho story hastily. Many scenes, however, are powerfully written, and the boro’s oharootor, drawn on that of the Stuart race, is very, artlstioal.. • • Mrs. Partington is before the world again. Her now sayings and doings aro recorded by Mr. B. P. Bhillabeer, of Boston, and aro Illustrated by Hop pin, who, when ho pleases, oan lay aside his man nerism of hard outline, and has bo pleased in tho present instance. Tho new Partingtonian produc tion is oalled “ Knitting-Worka Web of Many Toxtures, by Ruth Partington.”, It is published by Brown, laggard, A Chase, of Boston, and-we aro bound to say a neater volume, in all respects, we havo not lately seen. Only a third of tho vo lumo is indebted to Mrs. Partington. The “ nioo dorangoment of hor epitaphs,” on which that venerable dame rathor piques herself, doos not run riot upon ovory pago, hut is judiciously scattered, hero and there, so as.to Infuse an agreeable variety of tints into tho “Knitting-Work.” Too much of Mrs. Partington would bo as fatiguing as too much of any other good thing. Hero, we havo her ju diciously Borvcd up, to bo enjoyed to tho utmost. Whatever the old lady’s verbal blunders, she falls into nono but highly probable mistakes. “ The Guardian for Ike,” for example, overflows with them—but not ono is forced. ThereinUos tho value of tho artisticnl embodiment of the whole idea. Among tho miscellaneous articles, those most to our fancy aro “ The Fritohard Heirs,” “ A Pleasant Story for Jealous Pcoplo,” and “ Christmas Hearths and Hoarts.” Some of tho poetical pieces, also, are much above par. By the way, Mr. Shiliabeor, though ho cannot write a sonnot, which oonsists of moro than throe four-lino stanzas, concluding with a couplet, has put off several lively poems boro very much in the Ingoldsby vein and merit. The book, by Tfito limb, G izi lheTjaiHisbf thousands of read ers, wo dare say. E. H. Butler & Co. have sent ua a Hymn and Tuno Book, for Sabbath Schools, by William B. Bradbury, author of “The Shawn” and othor singing-books. This is called “Oriola.” The selections of music are good. Mr. Bradbury has himself composed many of the airs given here. “American Wit and Humor,” illustrated by J. MeLonnn, is a handsome Bvo., chiefly mado up, we bolieve, from tho amusing department in Harper's called the Editors’ Drawer. There aro materials in the same mine for a dozen such vo lumes as this, and tho sooner they aro published tho bettor. Lippineott & Co., of this city, arc issuing, in monthly parts, at tho Edinbnrgh rdtoil prioo, tho Edinburgh edition of William A Robert Chambers* Enoyclopiodia, a Dictionary of Universal Know ledge for the People, on the basis of the latest edi tion of the German Conversation’s Loxicon. Four Parts, containing 25G pages imporial octavo, have already appeared, and are worthy of the highest commendation. A translation of Edmond About’s recent work on “ The Roman Question,” vory ably mado by Mrs. Annie T. Wood, has been published by J. E. Tilton, of Boston. It is “ edited, with an Introduction, by tho Rev. E, N. Kirk, D. D.” Tbo best we can say of the Introduction is that it is very short—only three pagos. Dr. Kirk intimates that, though Monsieur About wrote tbo work, it is “ indeed an imperial work,” expressing tho views of Napoleon. He says, “ This work, if tho common belief concerning Its origin is {he? 1 correct, is. in roality, Louis Na poleon at tbo bar of public opinion, defending his present campaign.” But as it was not against Romo, but against Austria, that Napoleon wont into tho field, Dr. Kirk’stheory docs not hold good. When wo see Napoloon actually pressing Stato re forms upon tho Roman Government, wo shall be lieve that M. About was but his amanuensis—not boforo. N e ?t time that Dr. Jfirk writes on a sub ject,let him take the preliminary of understand* ing it. “Recreations of a Southern Barrister,” consist of nine articles, apparently reprinted from some oritical journal. Four of thoso—upon Thomas Chatterton, Milburn’s Lectures, Tho Now Litera ture, nnd Christianity in tbo Legal Profession—aro interesting, not only from thoir subjects, but tho treatmont of them. “ Tho 2?orujn,” by Mri David Paul Brown, comes under tho author’s notice, and Mr. Rrown is sarcastically treated, not only for “egotism and selfilaqdation,” but for devoting “ largoly more than a hundred pages of a work, pro fessedly giving an nocount of tho prnctlco and prac titioners of Pennsylvania, to a discussion of his own merits end position, while his recital of tho cha racter and Ufa of such a naan as Judge Washington is compressed into twonty.’’—Thoro is a good deal of argument, in this volume, dispassionate and searching, in defence of Slavery, T}io printing, oxooutod at Richmond, is very good. A Sabbath Discourse on tho Death of tho Hon. Rufus Choate, together with tho Address at his Fu noral, by Adams, D. D., Pastor of tho Essox.stroot Church* Boston,” are published by J. E. Tilton k Co. Tho Address is extremely eulo gistic of Mr. Choate, the Sermon equally laudatory of Massachusetts, in whioh bo happened to bo born. A now edition of Dr. J. W. Palmer’s “ Up and Down tholrawaddi; ortho GoldonDagon,” has boon published by Rudd & Carlton. This work contains tlio author's actual adventuros, as Surgeon on board tho E. I. O.’s steamship Pkelegcthon during tjio last* “ soriinmogo ” between England and tho Burmese Empire:—adventures told so really that tho reador can almost fanoy himself afloat on tho crooked rlvor, or facing the wooden guns at Kemmondiro. By tho way, apropos of Dr. Palraor; his trans lation of Mioholot’s “ L’Amour ” has got into a seventh edition, to which ho has appended “A word with M. Michelet,” from Mudamo Honnanoo Losguiilon, whoso latest work, “ Lcs Femmes dans Cent Ana,” appears to have simultaneously sym pathlzod with the ruling Idoa of Michelet's. Sho says: Tlio spirit of M. Micliolot’s book is that of tho Court of Love, and soems written for a small oirclo of tlio glito, whoro reigns undisturbed tho hßrmony of nil tho virtues. Thoro aro thirty-five millions of human beings to whoso needs and sorrows ho is blind. Ho soems to bo Ignorant of what men think of youug girls who arc destitute of marriage-por tions. For oxawplo, I will repeat to him tho bitter words in which a young husband, othorwißO vory worthy, replied to tno love verses of his wife :‘‘ My dear, we aro uot rich; tlioroforo wo cannot love each othor. I havo no timo for that; I must earn our living.” These cruel words broko tho wifo’s heart. Still, tho man was not altogether wrong; mnrringo has its practical side, which kitla senti ment. Men do not understand how to unito tho two. While we deplore suoh words, wo must grant that they ate true m respect of marriages as they now aro. Now-a-days it is not man rriio can instruct tho heart of woman; it is not tho man who has lived ten or flftocn yoars in tho Saturnalia of plea sure, or in tho difficulties of keeping up an appoar anoe, who can livo such a lifo. So long as man docs not receive tho same moral education as wo man, fur from teaching her, ho will be unable to understand her. Palatos ucenstomod to sploos. spirits, and tobaoco are incapable of enjoying tho exquisite flavor of fine fruit. Bo long kb men live a life of Iqyq before marriago, marriages will bo TWO GENTS. found deficient in lore; only ono of tho wedded pair will love—the wife; .if, indeed, even she does. M, Michelet's book oomos, too late. If it bad only been written thirty years ago J Then, instead of bringing their fragments ofurose to love,the young men of this generation, better instructed, would perhaps have retained some little love for their nuptials. Madame Hennance Sandtln Lesguillon (whose husband is well known as dramatist, poet, and novelist) has tho most prolific muse in Franco. She has written almost any quantity of verses, and a groat number of romances and children’s’ books. She was born in 1810, and married in 1836. She has unbounded fAith in the future improved condi tion of her own sex. Historical Society of Pennsylvania, DEATH OP RICHARD RUSH. At a stated meeting of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, held at its hall, on Monday evening last, Judge Cadwalader occupied the chair. It being announced by the librarian that since the last meeting of the society, one of its oldest and most honored members, Mr. Richard Rush, bad died— Mr. Henry D. Qllpin, one of the vice presidents of the society, desired to express his deep emotion, oc casioned by the announcement of tho death of our venerable and ‘ distinguished colleague. ’ Never, since ho bad boon, connected with tho society, haa it fallen to bis lot to mourn with more’sincere dis tress the loss of a fellow-member. Vet the event should'not bo regarded as a cause of sorrow: he had but passed/the inevitable portal to"which we' enjoyment of refined literary tastes,’'and a deport ment sincere, generous, and urbane in every social relation. Stiir,-we feel that a link has been struck from. t)ie chain ofgrateful associations. , For myself, I do not approach the subject with out feelings which are independent of his merit in the light in. which." tho world and history will judge him. For ine, a long vista is closed of generous friendship; of stores of knowledge poured out* of manly truths, mildly but resolutely communicated * of ft social nature ever' genial, and a hospitality simple, but ever genorouß. By those who enjoyed the twenty years of his intercoufte at Sydenham, can Its charms ever be forgotten? Can they fail to reoall tho feast of reason and the flow of sonl by which a refined nature'doubles every charm of friendship? I recall the low-walled ancestral cot tage, shaded by its ancient trees, and remember . how books and works of art adorned them, and es pecially thememorisl gifts of friends, which added peculiar objects of association. ‘ The step and ba niator brought from Milton’s house, and inserted in bis own staircase; volumes with some kindly no* tioe from Rogers or Campbell, or H<am or Lyttie ton; thepioturos.of statesmen and men of letters, both in England and in Fratioe, tokens of their re gard; all these seamed justly to augment his natu ral desire to linger to the last in tho homestead .which he had inherited, until the progress of the vast encroaching city took from it the last vestige of rural tranquillity. There must be many of those hero assembled who can remember his yon-" arable figure, 03- the summer evening closed, stand-, ing upon, the last step of the cottage portico,-to ware them Jit* courteous adieu—the words of his conversation lingered on tho ear of his retiring guest, as the wise and mild lessons of the aged Nes tor dwel tln the beart'of the parting Telemachus. . The lifo of Richard Rush muss be nearly the history of his country for half a century, for per haps no American eitisen has ever been so con stantly engaged in its public events. • In early life he studied daw in Philadelphia, where he com menced, and for a time pursued its practice ; for several months-'he was Attorney General of the .State’. His marriage, however, to a lady of Mary land, many of whoso connections resided in Wasa-. ington; and the eye of Mr. Madison having been fixed upon him, os a young man whoso talents and personal qualities would make him both acceptable and useful to bis Administration, In tho trouble some times which wore at hand, led to his removal to that city, at the instance of tno President, in the yoarlBll. He was appointed Controller of tbe Treasury, an office which, os it was then organised, largely required the exercise of legal talents. In 1814 bo.was called by Mr. Madison into Ms Cabinet, by sucoeedingMr. Pinokney in tho post of Attornoy Genoral of the United- States, the Presi dent havingoffered him the choice of this office or that of Secretary of the Treasury. Ho continued to -hold it until- the close of Mr. Madison's Ad ministration. The other ofllce, that of Secretary of the Trea sury, he subsequently filled during the administra- , tion of Mr. Adams. In alt tho business of the office he proved himself to be an able Administra tor. Hla opinions upon the great financial question of tho day, loading to apolioy of protective duties, and his Judgment in favor of it, wore advooated with much ability. The qnostion is one scarcely yet withdrawn from the disputed topics of govern mental polioy, either In this country or in Europe. Ho nrgod his convictions with- candor, and did not shrink from their avowal at any period, even when they hecamo subjects, of partisan and vehement discussion. However correct or incorreot we may jnirgclvesdßflia thefa,tn.WiVi»w>t he found Bupportcrs of his views on this subjesnir some of the ablest American statesmen. Tho- moat continuous portion, however, of Mr. Rush’s public life was his representation of America as her minister In England and France. The for mer post he held for eight years, tho latter for two. It fell to his lot to take a leading part in some of tho questions which subsequently proved to be of gront national importance. In these measures he was aided by the great ability of, the Secretary of •State, Mr. Adams. Without attempting to trace, or even narrate these measures, which is the work of history, it should not bo forgotten that he pressed with incessant activity the rights of the United States upon the northwest coast of America; and that his minute historical researches, as well as able arguments, disclosed most, if not all/tho points of controversy upon whioh that angry question subse quently turned, j *lt is no longer, a question of doubt that, after tho closo of tho great wars Of Europe, some of its most powerful sovereigns, who were united in tho so oftlled Holy Alliance, entertained views of inter ference on tho American continent, the character of which, novor completely developed, would ne cessarily partake of tno spirit and aims of that alli ance. This disclosed itself to tho sagacity of Mr. Canning, while Mr. Rash was In London. His views wore communicated to Mr. Rush, and their negotiations bccamo the basis of that quiot but de cisive expression of the American Government with out which the conduct of some of tho European Governments would, in all probability, have led to consequences disastrous in American history. "With out investigating, the inferences, in regard to the polioy of tho United States, which, in subsequent fiotiucal controversies, have boon Reduced from tho anguago of President Monroe, and without ex pressing nn opinion as to their applicability to sub sequent event.-*, which may or may not bo similar— for this would be entering on tho province of the historinn—it must be admitted that the measure it self, adopted at the timo nnd in the manner in which it was, lias scarcely been surpassed in importance in tho foreign policy of the United States. In its conduot, Mr. Rush displayed throughout groat ability, discretion, vigilance, and temper. These qualities, indeed, marked In a high degree his whole diplomatic career in England. • Though his services as minister in France occu pied a much shortor period, yet his residence in Paris embraced a portion of tho reign of Louis Philippe, tho whole of tho Republic, and part of the Government of Louis Napoleon as its Presi dent. Notwithstanding his personal relations with tho tbrmor sovoreign, ho did not hesitato in his duty as the representative of America, and with out awaiting tho courso of the representatives of other countries, to recogniso, so far as it was in his powor, tho free Government established by the French people. Although suoh an emergency oould not have beon anticipated by his Instructions, he rightly judgod t}»o {holJngs and sentiment of his Govornmout ofid his countrymen. His diplomats conduct through the erratic course of events in Franco, whioh succeeded oacb other is quick suc cession, was marked, in each emorgonoy, by the ability, promptness, resolution, and tamper which characterized his first important movement; and when ho TOtlred from his mission, and with R from aotive publio sorvico, he returned to tho United States with increased distinction and untarnished honor.’ One foaturo remains to bo noticed. His literary ability was superior. Ho loved habitually tho best English authors. Ho was careful in tho formation of Bis style. His mind was richly stored, porhapa, beyond any of his contemporaries, with toe minute history of the men and times among whichho lived. His judgmont oMndividual oharactor was less ob scured by prejudice than Is usual amongpoliticians who lived through such stormy times. Tf he could ovor err in accuracy in regard to events, it was from no want of an anxious search for truth, which ho possessed exoclient opportunities to ascertain. In his opinions on pnblio measures it would be vain to say that all his judgments could bo right, but they woro always conscientious. Much is it to bo hopod that he has not gono to his grave without having left to his country some pro duction of his historical pen, His Memoranda, given to tho world nt two Buccessivo intervals, dis aloacd in an agrcoable narrative many of- the inci dents that ooourred whilo ho was in London. It is known that ho frequently, like Mr. Madison, com mitted to the press communications on passing ovonta, His lotters wore numorous and particu larly fruitful. AU these aro of value, but how muoh more is it to bo hoped that, to tho faw historio writings of Pennsylvania, thoro may bo yet added a work which shall adorn, with a laurel wreath, this, her publio-spirUod son. After some appropriate remarks from tho Chair, it was unanimously resolved that tho remarks of Mr. Gilpin be entered on the records, with an ex pression of tho society’s deep regret at the loss of their venerable, distinguished, and respected mem ber, A Government Speculation —The Boston Navy Yard and the Steamship Canada.—-It will bo recollected that on the last voyago the Ca nada came in contact with an iceberg, which ren dered it nOQQssary on her arrival in Boston to bo docked. No private dock being sufficiently largo to rcoeivo hor, application was mado for admission to enter tho dry-dock at tho navy-yardj whioh was granted. This was courteous on their part, as it should bo, but wo protest against our Government taking advantage' of such necessities, and rondor ing charges as though the Government dry-docks were built for the purpose of compensation. Tbo bill against tho Canada was $3,300. and deduoting $1,300 for tho actual cost, there is a credit to tho Government of $2,000. If Boston had privnto dry-docks of sufficient oapacity, and entering tho dry-dock at Charlostown was a matter of choice rather than necessity, a charge of this kind would, be perfectly proper, as the Government ought not to encourage anything interfering with private en terprise; but in the caso of tho Canada it was a necessity, and as such the Government should havo charged nothing but actual expenses. We doubt whether any other nation would be guilty of such a potty transaction. Tho Canada was a mail Bhip, and as such it should be tho duty of our Govern-, mont to render what assistance is necessary ut ex treme oases,— Commercial Bulletin i 6, THE WEEKLY PRESS.

(Correspondence of The Press, 1 Portland, Lako Superior, July 27, 1859. Among tbo distinguished visiters to tho west ond of Lako Superior, were Hon. Mr. Bright, U. S. Senate, and General Hiram Walbridge, of New York. Senator Bright and three others started from Superior City last week, on a trip over tho new road to Crow Wing, on tho Mississippi river, above St. Paul. The Government steamerßoaroh, Captain Geo. Meado, U. S. army, of Philadelphia, arrived July 21. This steamer is tho first Phila delphia vessol whioh has yet mado its appearance at Superior City. It was built by Messrs. Merrick A Son, and does them greatoredit. Captain Meado made so mo important observations connected with tho variation of the magnetic needle, and erected a gauge to determine tho rise and fall of tho wators of the lake. Ho will no doubt solve the vexed question of tidal motion so long in dispute. A party of ladies and gentlemen of Superior City no companied the steamboat to Onesta on the Bay of St. Louis, distant about eight miles from the dock, and had a most delightful excursion. A meeting was held, Major MoAboy oalled on to preside, and James S, Ritchie, of Philadelphia, as secretary. Gon. Hiram Walbridgo delivered one of his best speeches, complimenting the captain and offi cers, tho ladies, and the United States officials present, and concluded with a prophecy of the des tiny in 'store for Superior City. Captain Meade made a beautiful little speech in return, tho music struck up, and with threo cheers the assembly dispersed. Tho steamer Search having completed her errand, left before daylight. We also oxpect the United States steamer Michigan, and the reve nue outter. Tho steamer North Star laid overall night, and tho ditiiens of Superior enjoyed a danoo, whioh was kept np until noarly day-break. Tho Star rccoivca a very heavy load of lumber, laths, potatoes, etc., for tho mining towns along the lake. Tho United States land officers aro engaged in the boating of n very important caso concerning tho Superior City town sito of throe hundred and twenty acres, lone in dispute. Threo or four par ties aro but I believe it will result like tbo fight of the Kilkenny cats. If tho squattors hold on, and they say they will, no power can dis possess them. Three persons arrived at Superion via the United States military road, from Rum river, Min nesota ; they arc engaged in the lumber business, and seek an outlet to the head of Lake Superior, instead of the round-about way via St. Paul to the East. There is an Immense trade anxiously seek ing its outlet at the head of Lake Superior. It is to bo hoped that Congress, the next session, will make thoso rascals connected with tho Land Grant Railroad give up tooapable men, who will not sacrifice our interests. Upwards of two hundred carts arrived at St. , Paul up to July 17tb, from Selkirk settlement, British America, and tho train from the American side of the lino has not yet arrived. The total amount which will be expended in this trade, du ring the present month, will exceed two hundred thousand dollars. The Pioneer and. Democrat executed an order for the first job printing ever turned out for the Selkirk settlement. It consisted of some twonty varieties of printing in the English and French languages. North Srobr,
