Old Arm Chair.” . Many of our readers are aware, no doubt, that there Is' a song called “ The Old Arm Chair,’? written by a middle-aged young,verse spinner, called Eliza Cook. Several years, ago, Miss Cook was a celebrity in England. Sho .wroto several lyrics which are 3 popular to tills day—partly owing to their simple beauty, earnestness, and natural expression; partly owing to tho “immortal music”.to which they wcre= wedded, by Henry Russell, a .gentleman who supplied tho music to Mr. G. : P. Morris’s “ Woodman, spare that tree,” and thns gave'it popularity-,' Miss Cook, as wo have said, was a ‘celebrity. Many of her ballads have been ■ sung whorevor the Eng lish language Is known; bnt thoy are not often , heard now, for, there is a fashion in songß, as there ,is in othor things. The best proof of the oblivion into which Eliza Cook, has fallen,- is that, desiring to refresh our memory about her, wo successively looked into the “Men of the Time,” (which has a supplement of eminent living women,) and did not find her here; into,Knight’s Cyelopaidia, with like result p into Yapereau’s Dictionnaire des Con temporaines, with equal ill-success. In Ap pleton’s Mew American Cyclopaodia is a brief notice. In Allibone’s Dictionary of English Literature, however, wo found the particulars which' wo required. Whoever else may be. Incorrect or careless, Allibone never is. i , One of the ballads by which’ Miss Cook is host known, lii “ The Old Arm Chair,” th'o sale of which has brought heaps of money, to. .itßjrablbdiei, \ Wo hova-heord that nearly half a million copies, of this song, each at half a dollar, (the cost' being about threo cents,) Tiavo been disposed , of. The following is' a copy, of the assignment of this lyric to its pub-' fisher; “Received, May 14, 1841, of Mr. Charles Jef freys, tho sum of two pounds two shillings for copyright of words of a song written by me, entl tled * The Old Ana Chair,’ music by Mr. Hino, , “ Elwa Cook,” Thoro is a low-priced publication in London called the Musical Bouquet, the proprietors of which transferred to it, without leavo asked, or obtained; from Mr. Jeyyreys, the words and music of “ Tho Old Ann Chair.” Mumerous copies of. tills publication were sold, each for six cents, by , a . Scottish bookseller named Kyle. Against him did Mr. Jkyfbeyb com mence a law-suit in the Court of Session in Scotland;-tho object being to prevent any fix ture sale ‘of pirated copies of tho song. In the-words of-tho application, “To restrain tho appellant (Kyle) thorn printing and selling, or, haring in his possession 'for sale or hire, with out the consent of the respondetit, tho words of the song or poem known by the namo of ‘ The Old Arm Chuir,’ alleged to havo boon tfnlawflilly printed, without the consent of the respondent, the proprietor of tho copyright, in Mo, 383 of tho Musical Bouquet.” -Mr, Jeffreys rested -Ills title on two docn montsMiss'Cook’s receipt, as above, and the copy of the certificate of registration of own ership entered at Stationers’ .Hall, in confor mity with tho 6th andfith of Victoria, cap. 45. It Is doclared by that statute, which contains very stringent provisions for tho accuracy of tho register, that such'certified copies “shall be prima facie evidence of the proprietorship or assignment of copyright.” He also called Mr.- George Henby Davisson, music pub lisher in London, whoso evidence was to tho effect that Miss Cook had refused to deal with him in. reference to “ The Old Arm Chair,” on the ground that she had assigned St to Mr. Jeffreys. Mr. Davidson subsequently ob tained, for £lO, the right to print and publish tho song from Mr. Jeffreys. Miss Cook, on Being told of the transaction, agreed, at Mr.' Davidson’s request, to sit to Mr. Cbdikshank for her portrait, to bo prefixed to tho proposed cheap edition. ■ . - ; On tho other hand, Mr.KTLE contcnded that Mr. Jeffreys hod shown no title to the song except tho receipt of Miss E. Cook, which lio submitted was not' sufficient to transfer a copy right, and that Mr, Jeffreys, not having u suffi cient title to the song, had no right to register 'it as his at Stationers’ Hall. ' This case, which has passed through various Courts of Law in Scotland, was finally decided, by tho Court of Session in Edinburgh, in favor of, Mr, Jeffreys. - Against this decision Mr. Kyle appealed to the House of Lords, (which, as an', ultimate Court of appeal, is tho most powerful tribunal in Great Britain,) and niter hearing the argument tho Law-Lords dismissed the appeal xvilli costs. This judgment was given on June 27th, on which day Lord Camf bell first took his seat on the IVoolsack, as Lord Chancellor, and, indeed, this “ Old Arm Chair” case will be memorable, not only on Its .own niorits, but as literally being tho first heard by Lord Campbell, in his new capacity. ", “ Withcosls.” —Two very small words, with very great signification. 'What may have been the-amount of costs incurred by both partios, during this battlo iii tho law-courts? About $lO,OOO, ail of which Mr. Kyle, must dis burse.' Fbahklin spoke of paying dearly for ,hiB whistle. . But hero is. a man who pays yet more dearly for his song. From this forth, in all probability, Mr. Kyle will notallow such an article of furniture as an “arm-chair,” new or « old,” within the four walls of his house.- Indeed, when ho putshisspectacles on tooxamino the items of the bill of costs, for which ho has to pay about $lO,OOO, wo should not wonder If ho sit—on tho stool.of repentance.

If your readers will . recollect that Sam Houston bo gan his early life among tho Chorokeo Tndlans; that direotly after that ho was olerk and county auditor in Tennessee; that he kept sohool; that in 1813 ho enlisted in the army, and served under Gen.’ Jacksonin tho Creek war; that ho was wound ed, and rose to the rank of a lieutenant in that war; that ho studied law at HaahviUe; that ho served from 1823 to 1827 as a momhor of the Na tional House of Representatives, from Tennessee; that ho was two years tho Governor of that State; that ho resigned that offioo, went back and renewed his residence among the Chorokees in Arkansas; that he went to Washington to protoot the aborigi nes from fraud, find returned to them disgusted with his little success; that ho wont to Texas on a visit, was elected a member of the convention to form a State Constitution prior to tho admission of that State into tho Mexican Union; that ho headed the disaffection growing out of tho rejection of the Constitution by Santa Anna; that ho assisted in arousing the Texans to arms; that ho was elected thp commander-in-chief of the troops; that he con ducted tho war vigorously, and brought it to*tfauO' oessful termination at the battle of San Jacinto; that ho effected a treaty acknowledging the mdo pendenoo of Texas; that ho was elected first Presi dent of thoßepnblio; that he then beoamo a mem ber of the Toxan Congress, and was again elected President of Texas; that ho contributed greatly to tho annexation of Texas to tho* United States; and that, in 1844, when Texas oamo into the American Union,, he was elooted a Senator in which body ho served until March last—retiring from it to begin a now round of offices as Governor of his State ;—lBfty, if your readers will cast their eyes baekoter this marvellous record, itwillbedif flcult to induce them to believe that Sam Houston was but sixty-six years of age on the 2d of MarCh last—being a younger man than the President of tho United States, If you could see him as I saw him, shortly boforo he mado his farewoll epeooh in the Senate, whioh, like tho farewell speeches of some othor great actors in politics and the drama, was, as the roaulthas shown; intended to bo but the advertisement of a now engagement, you would have been impressed by his fine boating, his snow white ruffled Bhirt, his*‘ diamond deooratod digits,” and his vigorous, statesmanlike appearance. You would notask why it is that Sam Houston is enabled to point to an almost irresistibly successful career. He is not a man of learning or extended informa tion; he is vain to a fault; fond of dress and show; a superficial logioian, (and no man is so ready to admit these elements of his character as himself,) and yet he has Won because of his instinctive lope of the truth, his contempt for law-learning* and lawyers, his horror of abstractions, and, not tho least of all, his undoubted courage and patriotism. If the life of this man could he written con amove by some Babbipgton Macaulay, who would out its strong features and conoealnono of the little defects which giro point to his character, as furnishing contrasts to his merits, it would eonsti tuto a volumo more interesting than that of the famous French lion-killers, whose narratives, a few years ago, set the literary world wild with speculations. The Administration Democrats of Texas have bad a sovere contest against ‘ ‘Old San Jacinto,” and hays been whipped. The candidate who ran RgainstGon. Houston was regularly nominated, and ran upon the platform of Mr. Bnohanan, and yet, in tho Constitution of this morning thero is an artlelo olaiming that General Houston, who was elected over the Administration Democrats of Texas, is a fast friend of Mr; Buchanan l It is notorious that Hooston has always publioly expressed tho greatest contempt for the President. What will such men as Reagan, Wigfall, John Marshall, and other well known Domoorata in Texas, say to this?. Opposition to the regular nominations, on the part of tho "Administration, is a heinous offence when ever that opposition is manifested ngalusfc tho Ad ministration, but any Democrat ban bo elected against a regular Demooratio ticket who wBttvaj>onl the platform of the Administration, aml'tfe - doned. .Although General Houston ran,'an<Jwas ©looted, in distinct opposition tcuthn Administra tion,And so publicly stated his position to he, his victory is now olaimed by tho Constitution is tin Admtniqtratfoa triumph! . Since tho . peace in Italy, and the declinntionVf Mr. Buohanan as a candidate for re-elootlon, J.B. has been greatly disturbed about the apparition George M. • Dallas, of Pennsylvania—American Minister at London—following bis example in 1855-56, and becoming a candidate for the succes sion. I wrote to you aomo time ago, about a promlso which had been givon to a distinguished Mew Yorker of the mission to the Court of .St. James, and I will not be at al! surprised if Mr, Buchanan should Insist upon putting somebody into his old plaoo as a reward for exported sendees, if not for past friendship. Tho Washington Constitution , in its attacks upon Governor Wiso, illustrates the theory which it applies to othors, by copying from newspapers notoriously opposed to tho Domoeratie party, and which havo always opposed Governor Wiso. In the official paper of this morning, I notioe a num ber of oxtroots from extreme anti-Demooratio pa pers, whioh are intredueod into tho,columns of tho Constitution , with many bows and grimaoes, as welcome visiters) I simply refer to this oiroum stanoe for tho purpose of showing tho consistency of tho organ of tho Administration. Tho tnusio at the President’s grounds attraots quite a crowd of tho local population. This ii about our only popular recreation. Wo have nc theatres here. If you in Philadelphia are suffer ing for lack of nmusomonts, you may well imagine how we long for thorn here. Wo are, indeod, the creatures of Congress; bnt our city is now becoming a metropolis in. other respeots, and by and by we shall begin to dopond upon ourselves. I wsa glad to sco Mr. Buchanan in such good spirits on Wed nesday evening, as he passed out of the southern portico of the Presidential mansion. Few of the distinguished men of tho country were there, so the city office-hunters hod a ohance to mako their obeisance to him. Mo seemed to avoid and ovado all allusion to politics, and engaged himself In talk ing to tho ladies, by whom ho was largely sur rounded. - Occasional. Publications Received.

Tho annoanoement in tho J\Toniteur of Thursday that “ tho Emperor had deoided that tho army and navy shall bo restored to a peace'footing with tho least possible doiay,” has diffused a fooling of uni versal satisfaction throughput England. In the House of Commons tho news produoed n pleasing and grateful sensation, and in commoroiat'circles it has been rapturously recoivod.' - . The European Times says: 11 Ono of tho most important debates of tho session took plaoo’ in the Honso of Commons on Thnrsday, when Lord John Russoll, in his oapacitv of Foreign Socrotory, laid. befoTo Parliament nna the nation his viows respect ing the Villa Franoa troaty, and the linoof conduct which, under certain circumstances, this country ought to pursue. Franoe is anxious that wo should tako part in the Congress or Conference, about to be bold at Zurich, for the settlement of the affairs of Italy—-to confer upon tho general questions which will bo submitted to tho plenipotentiaries, not the details of the treaty of peaco. Tho British Go vernment will not send a representative to tho meeting unless Jtbo Emperor of Austria or his re- Eresentatlvo is thoro also as a consenting party. ord John soems to think that it would be usoless for us to interfere, unless wo had a reasonable ohanoe of securing such torms for the Italian poo ple as would givo thorn practical liberty and se cure tho‘pence of Europe. Ho thinks that if the several States of Italy could form a confederation,' the union would -be strong enough for its own de fence, and thero would bo no necessity for the in tervention of foreign Powers. But wc could not be a cotueitHnq party to the restoration of the riders whom the people drove out of the Duchies , and the temporal power of the Pope was a formi dable obstacle to our entering the Conference. In a word, Lord John Russell is disused to intorfero if certain conditions which he dooms imperative are conceded by tho contracting partios., If tlicao conditions are refused, he will throw tho pnus on the principals.” ' ,•; Bounties to SraAmbn.— July 29. —Her Majesty hold a Court at Osborne, to-day, at whioh the boun ties to seamon entering tho roval navy were re duoed to £8 and £4 for able and ordinary seamon,. respectively, and the system of bounties, Which would have expired July 31st, was oxtended to Sep tember 30th.

This impression tallies with that expressed by a French general offioor to an Italian at Milan the other day —'‘How that we havo dono with Lombardy, we hope that the Emporor will load us to Lombard strict.’ Nor do'these sentiments differ from those attributed to Napoleon tho III:—‘Do not believe for a moment that I have forgotton or forgiven the com binations devised by tho English against my uncle. Tho day may sot bo far distant whon I shall bo able to prove It to you.’ My informant was an ox minister of the Prince Napoteon during the re public, and unless his Majesty’s sontimonts have' changed, tho Old Lady of Throndnoedlo street, and her neighbor of Lombard street, must look to thoir strongboxes.” . • - A foreign correspondent of the Times says: A gentleman, who has jnst arrived from Italy, states tat-ho saw the-people in Nico drag tho bust of the Emperor through tho kennels of tho town.

Fifteen new coun terfeits hayo. beon, nutih circulation since the be ginning’of the month.' - ' - . Tho railroad receipts for July, as they,arc suc cessively .reported, show a heavy decline in busi ness, compared with 4858. There is no doubt that this is,bnt the natural, and, indeed, inevita ble result of the successful praetico of the art of outting. each other’s throats. Thoy no sooner mnko leagues and compacts with each other than thoy break thorn.; and it seems utterly impossible for a railroad company contending against tho su perior geographical advantages of rivals to be honest, oven whon it tries. Tho general conclu sion that the newspaper press has arrived at upon thissubjoot, is that,-“ruinous competition” will continue, despite of all agroemonts, until business ineroases to such a point that all the trunk lines wilt have full employment. Tho Cincinnati Gazette reports another instance of tho worthlessness of those agreements. It says: “A few wooks since the agents agreed upon a uni form tariff on eastward-bound freight, which for a time was generally, it is supposed, adhered to. But yesterday it was found that tho agent of tho New York Central kicked the traees and out tho rates, ho having taken wheat to Now York at 35c., being 80. below tho, agreed, price. ,As an excuse, Mr. Buck says tho wheat'would not have been shipped to Now York at all if ho had not taken it at 350. The Western lino carried it to the lake at 100. and tho New York Central received 25c. for transportation thence by luko and rail, and busi ness at those figures is preforred to no businoss at all. The agreement, wo suppoao, is now out of the way, nnd tho agents will feel themselves at liberty to do the best thoy can, each one for himself.” The following is a statement of,tho -earnings of tho Pittsburg, Fort Way no and Chioago Railroad, for July, eomparod with tho samo month last year, viz: • ; 1859. 1858.

GovTiRNOR Wise’s Prospects for the Presi dency.—The principal ground of opposition to Governor ■Wig© for the presidency seems to be his propensity to being excessively wordy.
