Tuesday, September is, 1859. An Empresine. Last year, when the Indian possessions of “ John Company,” lato of Leadcnhall-strcet, London, wero formally annexed to Great Btitian, many excellent John Bulls wero sadly disappointed that Victoria did not assume a liifrlior litlo than that of Queen, —that she did Empress, or, at least, (liko MAjfjflfegliESA, of Austria and Hungary,) Em prossdSe’on of tho British territories, wherever iliey mly be. We must own that it is astonish ing th** Quoon Viotobia, who is fond of regal. magnMfeoncc—though she does luxuriate in sliabbj bonncts and old gowns, in ordinary dldnoj seize such an opportunity of taking a ldgber nomiiml rank than , she now enjoys. The oxcitemcnt of such a change would have delJghjM her. Sb® is an estimahlo woman, mild in her Boo <l in hor social relations, and as unspoiled, perhaps, as any ono could bo in tho perilous posUion she eecuplcs. Wo firmly belief that if Royalty, in'tho full fling of sel flalmqsa and pride—the natural results of tho false position which it fills—wero to fancy that it could soar into heaven as easily ns it totters iipotr 1 tho earth, it would find flatterers and adulators in abundance to confirm tlio state inept and to nurture tho imagining. Seo how SuAkspearb, whoknewhumann aturo so well, mikehPolonins thus act towards Princo Ham let, and successively declare that tho cloud to which his attention was drawn “ almost in shape of a camel,” —« backed like a weasel,” — and “very like a w'hale.” So, saitli tho east ern proverb, if tho Caliph should say at mld dafj that it is dark, tho courtier will imme dfalciy dejlaro that ho beholds the moon and stars! yJPeople in high station, Heaven knows, think sjftvell of themselves that it might seem an act of supererogation for any one to augment that self-delusion. Tot, what fi high station? She ridan Knowles, ono of tho Iruthfullcst of mo —dern dramatists, sayB— A 1 Rank’, bat an cminonco, whereon wo too .. Sometimes a tower, sometimes a hove!makes - ’ -’Aiiko conspicuous thoxYiginly Or meanness of tho thing that’s built upon it. t I honor rank when ho who owns becomes it. , Tho Qucou of Great Britain cannot help having no small conceit of herself. Nolliing ijmro inevitable. Let her go a dozen miles from homo, and she is beset by “ loyal and devoted” Subjects, with flattering addresses, in which Jthcy tell her that sho is tho ninth wonder of the world, (Gil Bias was the eighth,) and that, without her “ gracious” smile, tho world would bo all confttßion. Not that tboy really (Ainfc anything like the extravagance thoy any. But it is tho fashion—tlio humbug—tho etiquette, to tell royalty, at all times and in all placos, t£at it is a non-sneh. Thus, that bloated and Moody brute, Henry, tho wife-killer, was iaudod by subjects who trombled while they flattered the crowned monster. Thus, Eliza ritu, a crooked, rod-haired, peak-faced, freckled, ugly, had woman, was complimented as a Venus, by courtiers and poets, simply because sho was Queen. Soon after her marriage, a rumor wenj abroad to the offect that Queen Victoria, who has quite a woman’s liking for parade and show, pomp and Bplendor, was anxious to as. sumo the title of Empress. Immediately, some « devoted and loyal subject” put forth a manifesto in favor of the change’. It was originally printed as a placard, and pasted on Some -of the dead walls of London. There 4CO saw it, and with the rest of the world, laughed heartily at its absurdity, only lament ing that it was impossible to procure a copy of such an unique production. Subsequently, however, the author extended it, and pub lished it in pamphlet form under the title « Why should wo noth*™ au Empress?” Yes terday, looking over a pilo of old autographs, (Homo of which wo may write about ere long,) this pamphlet turned up among them. Let ud notico it. The author simply stylos liimsolf “ TV. 8.,” apparently being or,j of tho class who M Bo good bjr stealth and blush to find it Fame.” The publication, wo sec by the impriut, was in 1847—tho. year of tho fatnino, when the United" States relieved tho necessities of starv ing Ireland, weeks before John Bull did any thing more than hold out vaguo promises of relief. Nevertheless, W. B. opens witli a flourish about “tho improved state of tho country,” and, writiug as an Englishman to his fellow-subjects, says, “AVo ought to bo proud of tho position wo hold among tho na tions of tho earth, and individually grateful that wo repose under tho shadow of tho Bri tish flag.” Praiso of England, without a fling at America would bo singular, judging from tho general habit of British pamphleteers, so IV. B. adds: “AVo seo a groat nation, with ideas springing from tho samo Source with our selves, sporting tho cap of liberty with tho jauntiest air, and yet so blinded by its gaudy trimmings, as to conscientiously think them selves justified in keoping their fellow men in slavery.” And then, says AV. B.,—tho sub limo anonymous of pamphleteers—“ The Americans will never bo able to see the sun in his •frill splendor, unless they wipo their (minds) eyes to look at him.” This rhetorical burst is foliowod by a disser. tation upon Queon Victokia’s refusing to con sent to Sir RonnnT Peel's requirement, onco upon a time, to part with certain of her bed chamber women, if (re AV. B. is wrong in tho dale and tho fact. Ho says, “ I have oiten thought with humbled feelings of what occurred at Sir Robeht Peel’s advent to power, about six years back; I have often thought I must have obtuinod a wrong idea in tho matter, and should lie relieved to tind it really was the case. My impression, however, is, that when her Ma jesty requested SirRoBEUT Peel to undertake tho Government, he declined to do so unless her Majesty consented to dismiss both her state and private attendants; —that tho Queen, naturally clinging to thoso sho had been accus tomed to, objected to part with her private friends, and requested Lord John Russell to attempt again to carry on the Government; that tho attempt tailed; Sir Robert was inexorable; the nation was blinded by protecto-mania, and did not riso in her defence, and her Majesty was compelled to dismiss her private , as well us state attendants, and accept others in whom she could have no sympathy; and, in fact, forced on her by' the imperious will of her Minister. I say it was discreditable to tho na tion that they allowed this thing to be dono; but mixed with the excitement of tho time, it passed with little notice.” AVheu AV. B. wrote, it was more than eight years before, and not six, (viz : in tho "spring of 1839,) when Peel, having been required to form a Cabinet, expected, of course, that the wives, and daughters, and cousins of his po litical opponents should not bo continued in attendance on tho Queeil. Thoir own seuso of propriety should liavo mado them resign; but this they did not do, for they were playing a keen political game. They did not resign, in order that they might compel Peel either to enforce their dismissal, or servo tho party purpose of tho Melbourne party, by enabling them to Bay how bard it was to ask the Queen « to part with tho friends of her youth.” Her Majesty, it happened, had scarcely ever seen one of these ladies until she beenrao Queon — she certainly had not known them. Peel de clined taking offleo witli tho nearest ibraalo relntivos of his opponents surrounding tho person and influencing the mind of tho Sovereign. So ho declined forming an Ad ministration then. Tho nation was not “ blind ed by proteoto-mania,” ns AV. B. says. The Queen was not compelled “to dismiss her privato as well as her stato attendants.” Neither was sho compelled “ to accept others, In [with ?] whom sho could have no sympathy, and, In fact, forced on her by tho imperious will of her Minister.” In troth, Peel did not 1 then become Minister, nor until the autumn of 1841, when, as the samo game could not bo played twice, “tho friends of my youth” qnietly resigned, to prevent being turned out. So much for tho pamphletoor’s version of a well-known political event in Queen Vic toria’s reign. Tlicso misstatements aroso from tho pam phleteer’s desire to interest his readers in favor of Queen Victoria. He proceds thus “ And oannot the' nation find some way of ex pressing their estoem and regard for such a so roroign—a mark of admiration of tho manner in whioh she performs her duties, and at the sacrifice ebo made to the storm of self and party whioh as sailed her? I think wo can, and, finding it will cure an anomaly itrour position at the same time, I venture to. make the proposition for the conside ration of my ebuntrymon. “I reooltoot, soon after.her Majesty's accession, I read of some proceedings in tho Court of Quran'a Bench, and on inquiry I learned that our wise men hud thought it consistent and proper to alter the King's Bench to the Queen's Bench, in oonse quenoe of the eovorelgn being a female. Of course I expected we wore In future to be the “ United Queeiulom of Groat Britain and Ireland.” The alteration, however, has not yet been made, and I think it was rather ridiculous to alter one and not the other. “ My countrymen, do not be alarmed that I am going to propose the alteration now; lam flying nay falcon at higher game, both for her Majesty and tho country, and hope to stride my quarry, for I feel that we do not now take our legitimate rank (as regards name) among the nations of the earth.” Thon follow statements to Bhow that, for ex tent of territory and real greatness, this coun try should rank as high as Russia, Austria, Franco, Prussia, the United States, and China, all of which countries have been or are go verned by-Emperors. And then, quoth ho, “wo are so humble and so careless, that wo are still merely a kingdom, with the anomaly of boing without a King, and governed by a Queen in hor own right.” Look, argues this logician, we speak of tho British Empire, of an Indiun Empire, of an Imperial Parliament, hut wc want an Emperor. A mere Kingdom is too littlo for good govern ment. Of course, a Republic must bo no where on this principle. Next camo the remedy. “I propose,” saysV.B., “thatthe subjects of her Majesty, in all parts of the world, should, at Bomo fu turo time, approach the throne simultaneously by means of addresses, intimating their wish that, ns a mark of their regard and esteem, her Majesty should signalize her reign, and tho vast development of tho power and resources of her dominions, by assuming the imperial dignity. I consider that it will he more graceful and pleasing that it should appear to bo tlio trish and request of her subjects than that hor Majesty should appear to assume the title of her own will. I would go into this matter in a spirit of fairness, and at once place it on a broad and liberal basis, suited for ages to come, I would consider any portion of the world under the shadow of the British flag to bo an integral portion of the British Empire (obsorve how naturally the term British Em pire reads.) Any man, whether an English man, Scotchman, Irishman, Canadian, Austra lian, or Bengalee, should be a Briton, or speaking collectively, British. I would havo a male Sovereign an Emperor of Britain, and ids wife Empress as usnal; but I consider that a different name, and ono expressive of here ditary dignity, is required to designate a fe male Sovereign reigning in her own right. I would coin a new name for tho purpose of three syllables to correspond with tlio male title, and equally analogous to tho word Em pire. I think the title of Empresint (pro nounced teen) Victoria, Emprcsino of Bri tain), would se’ tho case as well as any; but this would be best left to hei Majesty’s choice. Of course, tho Royal Family would assume the titlo of Imperial Highness; but I protest against any of tiiem being created Dukes j that should be reserved as tho first title of honor for tho subject. Tho Royal or Imperial Family should bo princes, a nd that title shoifld not bo extended to a subject. The Princedom is Wales is too dear to our history to be parted witli; and why not the Prince or York, or the Frince of Kent I” Be it remembered that tho man is not jest ing.

Consider that Emperor ( hnperalor In Latin) is a military title, and therefore unfit for a female* Eng land achieved her gfcatness and wealth as a Kingdom.. ‘Englishmen, it is supposed, arc satisfied with their Queen, and an Empresine (pronounced seen) they do not absolutely require. Absurd as this Empresiuc proposal was, we found a match for it. About tho time when we first saw \T. B.’s precious pamphlet, wc fell in, on a railway journey, with an odd-look* ing brochure,which wo rapidly glanced through. It was called “Vox Vera; or, a Sketch for tho Fnturo;” it professed, appropriately enough, to bo written by one “Simplexit contained 08 pages; it was published by Lillet, Chanccry-Lano: it had a sort of tri-color bind ing, suggestive of Revolution. It suggested that tho wealth and property of the country should bo distributed among “ tho lower class es,”—that no new Peer should bo created:— that tho Baronets should bo admitted to some of their asserted rights:—that Government should purchase, on liberal terms, the titles of present impoverished Peers that it should hold thoso titles in abeyance for gratuitous bestowal by tho Sovereign as tho reward of merit, or sold, at a profit, to the moneyed pos sessors of large landed property. Tho Emproslno (pronounced z«cn) pro posed by IV. 8., should should have a suitable palaco. With great liberality “ Simplex” would provide one on an unique and extensive scale. The idea of the giant sittiug on a rock and bobbing for whales is not half so magnifi cent as this of a new palaco and its appen dages. “ Simplex” solemnly said, “ One of tho first of Stato undertakings in the way of building employment, should be a metropoli tan palace of such solidity and dimensions as shall bo truly worthy of the Sovereign of such an empire. Let Windsor’s venerable pile be come merely tho occasional country residence of her Majesty, and the shooting-bos of the Prince Consort ; and should our gracious Queen still love the fair little isle olf the ari choragc of her noble navy, lot East Cowes castle bo her marine palace—and let another palace bo erected on the island [lsle of Wight] for the educational home of her illustrious oil spring—of which let Osborne house become the porter’s lodge; Carisbrook its keep; Ap puldercombc for the Lord Steward of the Households; Steephill castle for a noble Go vernor of the island, as tho teacher of military science; Scarborough cottage for a Lord Ad miral, teacher of navigation; the Mirables for its head ecclesiastic; Shanklin for its Sunday bower; St. Catherine’s Hill for its observa tory; Bonchurch and St. Boniface its dairy; 4 Jura bay its retired bathing-place, where young sovereigns might lave and strengthen, undisturbed, their precious limbs by earth’s noble barriers, under heaven’s*own blue, in the breezes of air, and the smooth rip pling waters of tho mighty deep Bea, wild birds, with respectful awe , fluttering around. (!!) Let one of the now rugged clifls bo mado smooth for a racket-wall; let Swinston become the cricket-ground; and the whole island one fair demesne, protected by Us precipitous boundaries and a fleet of mon of-war. And would not the noble and amiable possessors of these places be proud to po litely and respectfully resign them for such worthy purposes in exchange for others ? [No doubt of it, or to give up their heads, as “loyal” aubjocts, If dosired.] There being no sacred law of territorial division affecting our part of tho globe, to prevent tho monarch’s wishing for a garden, not indeed of herbs, but for a nursery of young cedar-trees. The little job at the cliff, and getting ready to restore Carisbrook, and build the palace, &c., &c., would employ a few now idle hands during next winter-time; and many a warm-hearted Paddy lad would eagerly love to go and help to built up a big house for his Sovereign, when sho should have given strength to his arms, and warmed the chill current of Ids veins, by food and clothing.” This was a magnificent suggestion. But “ Simplex,” elevated by the glory nnd gran deur of his theme, found that prose was not quite able to wreak his thoughts into expres- TWO CENTS. sion, as Btbon said. He thus burst, if not into reason, at least into rhyme; ' “We will build Pyramidical barracks of monstrous strength, Of her army's ranks to contain the great length; And ships of all kinds, both for steam and for wind; And a palace, tool so big and po bold 1 That the princos of Europe it shall hold, When the* come to visit our gracious Queen, Who will treat them royally we full web ween.

So, we conclude, with the remark that both pamphleteers were in earnest, adulation being the form in which their «loyalty” ex panded itself. PERSONAL.

(Correspondence of the Press.) Clinton, Clinton county, lowa. September 2,1859. Knowing that* you welcome information from any part of the country, I venture a few remarks upon tho crops in this section. The wheat this season is of a very good quality, the grain being plump and fair; and were it not for the almost universal admixture with oats, would, pass for No. 1 in tho Chicago market. But even with this fault it goes readily for No. 2. The crop, however, is far be hind the expectation of the farmer in the yield. This tho threshing-moohine daily proves. The yield ranges from six, on the one hand, to eighteen bushels to the acre on the other, but more frequent ly the figures aro from ten to twelvo bushels. I have heard reports of a yield in one or two cases ns high as from twenty to twenty-five bushels, and I know of one as low as two bushels to the acre. Thl3 may bo token as a fair representation of the crops of this (Clinton) and the adjoining counties, and will not go far wida of the truth as regards this State and Illinios. Tho truth is that the crop is hardly a half one. Tho weather has, however, been such that it was well harvested. Tho oats crop was good. Tho potatoes are a failure, owing to a long drought. Tho corn, so far, promises well. Wheat is worth hero to-day from fifty-eight to sixty cents, oits twenty cents, corn twenty cents, and potatoes forty cents. This- point, connected with Cedar Rapids by a railroad of eighty miles in length, is tho outlet of a largo end fine body of country, ex tending from the river westward to Cedar Rapids, and up the magnificent valley of the Cedar river. You will some day, if inclination prompts, bo able to journey this way to fit. Vaul and the laughing waters, Minnehaha. Hero is also, in construction, n bridge from the Illinois shore to an islflnd near the lowa side,. two-thiras of tho whole distance ncross. which, in connection with ft ferry, will greatly facilitate the transportation of the produce of central lowa. I must not omit to soy that it is ono of the best points on tho Mississippi river for the lumber trade, and for milling purposes gene rally. In your fair city, lowa has been of lato with a reputation not untarnished, but better tiroes are, I trust, in gtore for her, and she will yet olaim And possess a name as fair as her beautiful prairies. This crop is doing something towards it, and, if prices advance, will do more. About politics, I do not know enough to speak with certainty. Suffice it to say that the impres sion is that, the Gubernatorial contest will do a close ono. I. F. B. An Elopement.—A Cairo, 111., correspou. dent of the St. Louis Democrat says: A gentle man from Vicksburg, who visited St. Louis in com pany with his wife lately, with tho intention of making some investments in steamboat stock, we boliovo, returned this evening in search of his wife and $3,000 which she Is supposed to have taken with her, and wentdown on the Gladiator. The story, as told, was that a mutual friond of the hus band and wile called on tho lady hastily on Saturday Inst, with a purported messago from (he husband, requesting her presence with the <ecort of their friond in lUinoistotrn; the friend lt&rns the sadden departure the husband, and tbe wife and friend proceed in company to Sandoval. There they change qars to the Illinois Central Railroad for the South, and are in Cairo Saturday evening. Further than Sandoval the husband had not traced them certainly, and fur ther than Cairo not at all. Subsequent to his de parture on tho Gladiator, it appears in evidence that a lady and gentleman answering the descrip tion given, took passage for Paducah on the Tho mas Scott, Sunday morning, registering their names as “Mr. and Mrs. Hargrave.’ The husband, we are Informed, is particularly anxiousabout a por tion ($2,500) of the money presumed to be in tbe lady's hands, which ho held in trust for another Lynching.—They appear to have a good deal of tho excitement of modern life in the rural city of Lafayette. A man named Klink, who had mftrricd a second wife, it seems, combined with the heartless step-mother to get rid of a little daughter by his first wife, by starvation and brutal treatment. Tbe sufferings of the little child Awakened the sympathy and aroused the interfer ence of the neighbors, who discovered, as they thought, a diabolical design of murdering tbe help less girl by starvation and cruelty. On Thursday night, a number of men, none of whom he was able to recognise, took tho inhuman father to An alley in tho neighborhood, whero he was gagged and his hands tied, after which a hundred lashes from a ropo’s end were Administered to Ho was then released with an admonition that if he further maltreated his child ho would bo hanged without judge or jury.
