FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1859 Conversing with SAMUEL Roants, the poet, CHARLES JAMES Fox said, te Who do ybu think the best writer of our time? I'll tell you who I think—BLAcxsToNe." To Room', also, Lord GRENVILLE, head of "All the Talents" administration, in 180 e., said, "you have not named the best style, in its way— BLACKSTONE'S." Sir WILLIAM JONES, the great Oriental scholar, observed of BLACK. STONE'S Commentaries, " They are the most correct and beautiful outline that ever was exhibited in any human science." Cluny, the great jurisconstilt, declared the work to be "tile most valuable that had ever been pro duced by the labor of a single man." JERE MY' BENTHAM, himself a framer of laws and constitutions, said of Stacasrong, , 6 Ile it is, in short, who, first of all institutional writers, has taughtjurisprudenco to speak the language of the scholar and the gentleman ; put a polish upon that rugged science; cleansed her from the dust and cobwebs of the office; and if he has not enriched her with that precision which is drawn only from the sterling treasury of the sciences, has decked her out, however, from the toilet of classical erudition ; enlivened her with metaphors and illusions ; and sent her abroad in some measure to instruct, and in still greater measure to entertain, the most miscel laneous, and even the most fastidious socie ties." Certainly, although the science of the law is apparently very dry, Sir WILLIAM BLACK STONE has thrown around it, by the manner of his exposition, a charm which, though ninety years have elapsed since the original publica tion of his celebrated Commentaries, still continues to invest it. His purity of style has been the object of general admiration, and Fox expressed the universal opinion when he said that BLACKSTONE "was distin guished as much for simplicity and strength as any writer in the English language. lie was perfectly free from all Gallicisms and ri diculous affectations, for which so many of our modern authors and orators are so remark able." The truth is, BLACKSTONE was a born-author, if such there be. Educated at Oxffird 'Uni versity, where his first distinction was the carrying Ora gold medal for verses upon MIL TON, he h a d written at The Elements of Archi tecture" before completing the age or twenty one. At the same time, he was a thorough classical scholar, a sound mathematician, a close logician, and a well-read man in English belles-letlres. Elected a Fellow of All Soul's College at the ago of twenty, BLACKSTONE commenced the study of the law, and aban doning lighter pursuits, wrote the celebrated verses of The Lawyer's Farewell to his Muse," %villein showed considerable poetic ability. This, however, was not his last poetical per formance, for, in 1751, eight years later, ho wrote awelegy on the death of FREDERICK, Prince of Wales, father of Gtounr. the Third. In 1746, BLACKSTONE was called to the bar, and has recorded, as proof of his early want of patronage or luck, that between this and 1760 he was engaged in only two cases. lbe was young, but a more timuidablo obstacle was deficiency as a speaker. Meanwhile, he had retained his college fellowship, which afforded him, at least, the means of respect able subsistence. Ho had made himself use ful, too, by his performance of the duties of bursar in his College, in which office he intro duced an improved and exact system of keep ing the accounts. In 1749, at the ago of 26, he was appointed Steward of the manors of All Souls, and, soon after, was elected Re corder of Wallingford, a parliamentary bo rough within twenty miles of Oxford, near which, in later years, lie purchased a landed tHilail2. Which his zief...6 , 4 anrvtotast representa tive has nearly wasted away. Lastly, Brack srosz was made Assessor of the Vice Chancel lor's Court, which office Ine held for several years. Tints, though a brlefless he was by no means a purseless barrister. He took the de gree of D. C. L. (peculiar to Oxford, other Universities granting that of LL. D.) at the age of twenty-seven. Wearied by seven years' fruitless attend ance in the courts of Westminster, BLACK STONE retired to Oxford In 1753, discharging the duties of the above-mentioned offices, and sometimes holding a brief at the county Quar ter Sessions in Oxford. To the emoluments of his Fellowship and other appointments he added those resulting from his labors as a pri vate tutor. It was in this last capacity that he commenced his Lectures upon the English Law. At that time there was no Professor ship of Common Law in the University or Ox ford. Consequently, these lectures constituted a novelty. Having devoted three years to preparation, &Amore:in read his first course in Michaelmas Term, 1753. These lectures were numerously attended, and the subsequent courses were even more successful. Next, to give his pupils that general preliminary infor mation trhiett would alike thcilitate the labors of teacher and learners, Dr. BLACKSTONE published ant Analysis of the Laos of' Eng land. Between this time and the appearance of his Commentaries he published several tracts upon antiquarian, legal, historical, and political subjects. As a delegate of the Cla rendon Press, he instituted several useful re forms, and wrote a tract upon the Management of the University Press, the suggestions of which are acted upon to this day. To qualify himself for writing upon a subject which was strange to hint, he made himself master of the mechanical art of printing. Assuredly au il lustrious typographer. There died, at Altlyshot, in England, in June 1756, at the advanced age of B'i, a Jurist named CHARLES VINER, who had devoted filly years of his life to the composititm of a general and complete Abridgement of Law and Equi ty. This work, in twenty volumes folio, now more frequently named than seen, was pub lished in 1741-51. Mr. VISES bequeathed the copyright of this work, and the sum of £12,000, to the University of Oxford, to establish a Professorship of Common Law, tooth endowments for tellowships and scholar ships. Hence arose the celebrated Vineriau Professorship, to which, in October, 1738, Dr. BLACKSTON E was unanimously first appointed. Five days alter he entered the occupation of the chair, he deliverA his Introductory Lec ture on the Study of the Law. At the request of the ruling powers in the University, he published this initial Lecture, which he sub sequently prefiNed to the first volume of his Commentaries, a work comprising his Lec tures as Vinerian Professor. These Lectures excited great interest and admiration. They at once established their author's reputation as a sound lawyer, and when he resumed the practice Of the law, in London, In Trinity Term, 1760, he obtained a fair share of business as a chamber counsel. His deficiency in extemporaneous speaking always prevented his having employment in the courts as an advocate. In 1761, he de clined the office of Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas in Ireland. The saute year he entered Parliament. Ile forfeited his fel lowship (held only by celibates) on his mar riage, in 1761, but shortly afterwards was ap pointed Principal of New Dm Hall, Okford, the honors and emoluments of which were greatly superior. From this time his course was very prosperous. He was made Solicitor General to Queen CHARLOTTE, elected a Bencher of the Middle Temple, and finally, in 1770, declining the office of Solicitor General, accepted a Judgeship of the Court of King's Bench, on which he was Knighted. Soon after, Ito exchanged into the Common Pleas, in which Court none but Sergeants-at-Law were allowed to practice, which made a seat out the Bench there next to a sinecure. llis decisions are respected in the profession as those of a sound, constitutional lawyer. He continued on the Bench for ten years, dying ti In harness" In February, 1780. PHILADELPHIA NEW YORK Blackstone. TWO CENTS. Sir WILLIAR BLACK STONE'S reputation mainly depends upon his well-known Com mentaries on the Laws of England, chiefly consisting of his Lectures as Vinerian Pro fessor, illicit office he held for eight years-- 1745846—a a salary of only £2OO a year. It has been doubted whether, as a Judge, he maintained his high character as a Juriscon suit. At all events, he made no mistakes on the bench, and the limited practice in the Court over which he presided gave him few opportunities of displaying his legal acumen and knowledge. Blackstone's Conunentaries were published at Oxford, in four quarto volumes, in 1765-68. Thu work immediately took the highest pool. lion. Yet, it did not escape severe criticism. JEREMY BENTUAM, a legal reformer, thought they leant too much to the Crown, and Dr. PRIESTLEY took exceptions on its clerical points. Many errors which had been pointed out were silently removed in succeeding edi tions, and the work rests a monument of one man's industry and knowledge, presenting the whole system of English jurisprudence, written in a style so popular and clear that all classes can read and understand it. Of its author, the eminent Lord AVONUORE beautifully - said, ((He it was who first gave to the law the air of a science: he found it a skeleton, and he clothed it with life, color, and complexion ; he embraced the cold statue, and by his touch it grew into youth, health, and beauty." No law-book has ever been half so popular, we may say more useful than Blackstone's Com mentaries. It has been adopted as a text-book by the lawyers of America as well as of England and Ireland. In Scotland, the Justi nian code prevails, and Blackstone, though generally read by law-students, is not adopted as an authority. As many as twenty-five different editions have already been published. One, intended to exhibit the present state of the law both in England and America, but more espe cially applicable to this country, has just been published in two volumes, large Bvo., by Climbs & PETERSON, of this city. Its editor is the lion. GEORGE SUARSWOOD, LL. D., Pro fessor of the Institutes of the Law in the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, and President Judge of the District Court for the city and county of Philadelphia. This is the most complete edition of Black stone over published. Judge SHARI/WOOD, scholar, and a ripe one" in the law, has de voted years of labor to it. The result is a re liable and modern American edition, enriched with original notes by Judge SUARMOOD, and with notes selected from-those by Aneunotn, Cinivirtax, COLERIDOE, CHITTY, STEWART, KERR, WARREN, HALLAM, and other authori ties. The well-known Analysis by Mr. BARRON FIELD is added, with a continuation, by the editor, of BtAexsrose's celebrated concluding Chapter on the Rise, Progress, and Improve ments of the Laws of England. There is also a copious Index, and an extremely interesting biography of Bracusroxe, also from the pen of the American editor. The frontispiece is a copy of GAINSTIOROCOM'S portrait of Sir WILLIAM BLACKSTONE engraved on steel, at J. M. BCTI,EICS in this city. Tye typography and paper are excellent. We do not ellen see such attractive law-books. Net, such an edition of Blackstone is not a there book for the lawyers. The matter is intelligi ble to every man, whatever his calling, and a thorough perusal must expand his mind. In this country, where general information is widely ditlused, and where a knowledge of constitutional law is indispensable to all who would know their wrongs and their remedies, IhtscitsroNE really seems indispensable ;--we mean such an edition as tho present. Judge SHAESWOOD has produced a most valuable work, which the law-student, the law yer, and the layman will largely profit by. Ile says, 4 , There is certainly truth in the charge brought against Br.vcicsroxt of overweening admiration of the British Constitution; but that is not likely to mislead an American stu dent. We can sympathise with his .panegyric or Our of_aneratjpstice of the cons - mon law. We claim it asour birthright, and boast of it nettle substratum of our own juris prudence. As an elementary work, however, it may be enough to say that the whole body of American lawyers and advocates, with very few exceptions, since the Revolution, have drawn their first lessons in jurisprudence from the pages of Blackstone's Commentaries ; and no more modern work has succeeded as yet in superseding it." It is not too much to anticipate that this American edition of BLACKSTONE will have a large circulation, not only in this country, but in England, where our legal reforms are so eagerly examined and adopted, and where the reputation of Judge SIIABSWOOD, as a juriscon suit, already stands high, Sir Jous BYLES, the Judge, having incorporated into the se veuth edition of his Treatise on Bills and Pro missory' Notes, the whole of Judge Snags noon's notes to the fourth Atuerican edition of that standard work. PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.. 11ev. Peter Cartwright, the famous Western Metho dist, is now lecturing in Philadelphia. We find the suljoined sketch of him in a Western ex change : • "A great oddity is l'eter Cartwright. Many are the stories told concerning his eccentricities. lie is, withal, a mighty preacher of the olden time, and, in his young days, was denominated a perfect son of thunder. Ile was bon, in Virginia, but at six years of age found his way into the in. terminable wilderness of Kentucky and Illinois. Ile has remarked, concerning himself, It might almost be said 1. was born in a canebrake, rocked in a gum, and graduated in a thunderstorm' Nevertheless, he has received the honorary title of D. D., from some college of the land. Ile is one of the marked men of the West. For fifty-six years be has been a laborious Methodist preacher, and has never once retired from his work. He is some what above the medium height, of Herculean frame, hair only slightly gray, dark visage, and seventy-four years of age. lie knows compara tively little of polished civilization, but is at home in the woods, and has been at the death of many a hear and will cat. His character derives new in terest since he is to appear, as is seen by the ad vertisement, before a Philadelphia audience, in Concert h ail, Oelober 6th and 7th. The following story is a good illustration of the undaunted fear lessness which has always distinguished his event ful and useful life: Shortly after the battle of New Orleans. a con ference of Methodist preachers was being held at Nashville, Tennessee. My old friend.' says the author, • l'eter Cartwright, was appointed to preach in one of the churches on Sunday everting. As he rr.e to announce his text, there as as a stir in the crowded congregation. and he paused until the ex citement should subside. The pastor of the church look advantage of the opportunity to pull the skirt of the preacher's coat, and admonish him in a whisper, Brother Cartwright, you must be careful how yon preach to-night, (len. Jackson has just come in.' In a loud tone Cartwright replied. 'What do you suppose I care tot Oen. Jackson if he don't repent of his sins, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, he will die and be damned, like any other sinner,' and then proceeded with hissermon. The next morning, early, as the preacher passed the tieneral's quarters, m his morning's stroll, a ser vant ran atter hint with the message that General Jackson wished to speak with him. Turning, his hand was grasped by the hero of New Orleans, who shook it heartily, saying, 'Sir, you are a man after my own heart; if I had a regiment of men as bravo us you, and you ,for the chaplain, I'd agree to conquer any country on earth.' They afterwards became intimste friends, and many hours were spent by the fearless pioneer pretwher under the hospitable roof of the Oeneral." The Staffordshire (England) Advertiser says that it has means of knowing that "Adam Bede " was written by Miss Evans ; that the scene of the book is laid in that county and the adjoining county of Derby, " Loamshire" representing the former, and tt Stoneyshire" the latter. t• Tredillestone," the place where Adam and Seth are said to have re sided, is a play on Ellastone, where the real cha racters in the book lived, and where the grandson of Adam Bede end Dinah Morris is now living, en gaged in a kindred branch of trade to that of his grandfather, and possessed of many of his sterling qualities. Tho Vicar was also vicar of Blyth and rector of Broxton (Croxton), both in the neighbor hood. The manor house is still standing, and the statue in front of it, mentioned in the book, is to be seen at Ellastone at the present time. Edward Bates, of Missouri, has written a letter in answer to an invitation to address a meetirg of the Whigs of Lafayette county, in which, while he commends the effort to reorganize the Whig party, he says: " But it is not strong enough to net sopa. ratoly and alone. To accomplish any real good for the country and for the causeof truth and freedom, it must co-operate with the other elements of oppo sition to an Administration and a party which hays divided the nation into sectional fractions, and have destroyed the peace and confidence of the country, and have endangered its integrity.

Moore. as a special commis sioner. to examine the resources of western lie , braska. Ile says: "We proceeded to the Ilregory diggings, passing inferior points without examina tion, and there found about 1,200 men engaged in working lead claims, and from personal edema tion and reliable sources found that the more suc cessful were making from fifteen to twentgAve dollars per day. In some eases they had encoun tered a hard substance known as the piatems or iron, and from the difficulties encountered and the absence of proper implements for drilling it, many had become discouraged, and some even abandoned their claims. The more persevering, however, have succeeded in getting through, and again struck the vein, greatly enlarged, and yielding im mensely more profitably than before. From Ore gory's we pawed up fire miles to Russell's diggings, and there found about eight hundred men at work. These arc gulch diggings, and average about ten dollars to the hand per day. In this vicinity are many other digging=, equally remunerative, but less extensive. From this we passed west to the Spanish diggings, and found a force of about seven hundred men. These diggings are less remunera tive than any of the preceding, not perhaps averaging over fire dollars to the hand. Other rich diggings are also in this vicinity." Ile afterwards went•to the western aide of South Park, and here '• reached a stream where gold had recently been discovered. That evening - all pre sent in that region convened, and we formed six companies to explore the streams flowing into the Platte. The result of our investigations was the finding of gold, in paying quantities, only on the south branch of the Platte, and here the gold seems to be more generally distributed, in quantities paying from three to fifteen cents a pan, than at, any other diggings yet discovered. If the inter vention of boulders should not interfere, I doubt not but that these mines will be streces.stally worked the coming spring. Little can be done this year, owing to the extreme elevwdon and the speedy ter mination of the working season."
