I'dwnril Everett.*
The third volumo of « Orations and Speeches
on Various Occasions,” byEmvARB Everett,
has just been published by Litti.k, Brown, &
Company, of Boston. It is o handsome octavo
of 817 pages. Tho secoud volumo of this
collection brought Mr. Evkrett’B oratorical
performances down to May, 1860. That
which is now before us was made up a twelve
month ago, and, thoreforo, several speeches
and discourses of it later dato have been neces-'
sarily omitted. Among tlicso are a Eulogy on
Mr. Tuojias Dowse, a Discourso of tho Early
Days of Franklin, Remarks on ttie Doccaso
of Rufus Cuoatb, and an Address at the
Dedication of tho Statue of Daniel W*»-
srEn. From tho presont volume, too, •is
now excluded tho Discourso on the Cbaraclor
of Washington, originally delivered on tho
22d February, 1856, for the benefit of tho fluid
for tlio purchaso and restoration and perma
nent maiptonanco of Mount Vernon. lie; is
still under engagement to repeat this Oration,
in different parts of tho country, for tho saiue
purpose, and therefore reserves it for fut(iro
publication. It was recently stated,- in the
Illustrated News of the World, that the tuili} of
over $65,000 had been reali/.cd to tho Mount
Vernon Fund by tills Oration alone. ‘ -
Thcro are, in all, forty-six ‘subjects
illustrated by tho tongue or pen of.JTr.
Kvekett : among thoso tliore oio/ho
Memoir of AnnuL Raiunam, a native 'ofjFim
bnctoo, a man of imusuni intelligencef the
well-known Obituary Notice of Mr. AltgoiT
Lawrence, (as well as his speech npdfekils
death, delivered in Fanouil Hall); and thi Me
moir of the iate Peter Ciiaundon Brooks, of
Boston. There aro many othor personal; arti
cles here, such as tho notices of Washington,
Daniel Webster, Vice President Kixei; Tho
mas Dowse, Geoikik Feaiiody, tho Fai»n.iN
Family, Genoral Warren, CnAwroßi),' the
Sculptor, and others. To confess Gut fact,
wo admire Mr. Everett’s personal notices
better than his more labored Qf&jions
upon gcnetal subjects. In this volume,
oddly enough, next to these porsoiuit tri
butes, in which life and character nre so
brilliantly sketched, we admire the Discourses
upon Agriculture. His Speeches upon Litera
ture como next. There is a speech hero on
tho Beueticiai Influence of Railroads, delivered
as far back as 1851, which appears to exhaust
tho subject. But, though lire oratory tn this
volumo bo greatly to ho admired, for Mr.
Everett composes well and hag got the’swing
of Bpeech-making, what we most like hore
is tho vast extent and variety of general In
formation which hq communicates. Jfo mat
ter what tho subject, Mr. Everett- appears
to havo fully mastered It, and ft stronger
who heard hisi speak upon Agriculture, or
Railwayism, or Literature alone, who reads any
ono of his sjMjeclies upon one of these sub
jects, might well imnglno that ho had been
specially acquainted with that branch of know
ledge, from early youth.' In truth, Edward
Evebett is ono of the best educated and
most accomplished gentlemen in this country,
and, though few men possess so 'much scho
lastic knowledge, his great experience in life,
and his extended travels over his own country
and other lauds, have completed,. Ills acquire
ments and training. America has every cause
to he proud of ono who, in foreign lands as
well as his own, lias so nobly represented her
intellectual character. ■
Tlio flrst volume of Mr. EvehEtt’s Orations
and Speeches was published in'lBB6,' the se
cond, in 1850;, (thcro havo been several edi
tions of these j) and tho third, .whose appear,
anee wo gladly lmll now, is destined, no doubt,
to ft popularity no lew, oxtonqjd. Mo library

good American works—can be-calied com.
plete without these three volumes from En
waed Everett. To render them yet.moro
catholic, ho lias excluded flom them the
•speeches which lie mado in tho Sonato of the
United States, with tho exception of tho re
marks on tho Death of Vico President Kino,
and one or two poiilical speeches made on
other occasions.
Tho very handsome manner in which the
liberal publishers havo got up theso volumes
must not pass unnoticed, for clear typo, good
paper, and correct composition arc not yot so
common—though Boston certainly has done
much in this way—that wo can .take them as
things of course. But there is, appended to
Volmno 111, an Analytical Index, in double
columns, which extends to two hundred pages.
Tlda is the most complete Index wo havo ever
seen to any set of books, and it has been pre
pared, literally as a “labor of love,” by Mr. At
lidone, of tills city, whose “ Critical Dictionary
of English Literature, and British and Ameri
can authors, Living and Deceased,” is truly
one of the wonders and literary triumphs of
tho age. The value of a good Index is so
great, and so universally admitted, that we
wonder author* do not more frequently give
to their readers—and to themselves—that ad
ditional advantage.

A Touching Ankchotk.—Hon. A. H. Stephens,
of Georgia, in a roeont address at a meeting in
Alexandria, for tbo bonofit of tho Orphan Asylum
and free-Bohools of that city, rolatod the following
anecdote *.
BILL HEADS,
“ A poor littlo boy, in a cold night in June, with
no homo or roof to shelter his head, no parental or
uiatornal guardian or guide to proteot or direct
him on his way, reached at nightfall the house oi
a rich planter, who took him in, fed, lodged, and
sent him on his way with bis blo&sing. These
kind attentions cheered his heart, and inspired him
with fresh courage to battle with the owtaotes of
life. Years rolled round; Providence led him on;
ho had reached tho legal profession; his host had
died; tho cormorants that prey on the substance of
man bad formed a conspiracy to get from the
widow her estates. She scut for the noarost coun
sel to commit her cause to him, and that counsel
proved to ho tho orphan boy years before welcomed
and entertained by her deceased husband. The
stimulus of a warm and touaclous gratitude was
now added to the ordinary motives ccmncoted with
the profession. Ho undertook her causo with n

nv <iravbeari>.
jUI who know Hr. Slookton, and are not aworo of
(he &c(, wifi be surprised lo learn that he ti not yet
! fi(ty-two years of age. Froin hta appearance, few
W/>uld regard him as less than seventy, and ho has
oyen been token for an ootogonarlan. Ills father,
now rosiding in West Philadelphia} at the ago of
seventy-four, os the following curious Incident will
illustrate, has the rare advantage over bis son of
appearing tho younger of the two. Some months
ago, Dr. 8, was Bpending a few weofcs at the house
of his fathor, when a gentleman oallod to see the
former, and was met at tho door by the latter, who,
In answer to tho visiter’s inquiry, replied, "Ta m
Mr. Stockton;” at which the stranger continued,
** The Mr. Stockton that I wish to see is a much
older-looklng man. “ Ohj it’s roy son you wish to
boo!” was tho fathor’s reply to tho no less aston
ished than mistaken inquirer.
The liberty of introducing my subject in this
way is taken, partly for Us tTovelty, but mainly
fur the reason that tho probable oausos of this pre
mature aged appeeranoo sustain an Important
connection with tho portrait I am about to sketch.
Ur. Slookton entorod tho ministry In 1829. Under
the itinerancy system of tho church with which
he was conneotod, ho has probably, since then, ex
perienced os largo a share of the ups and downs of
ministerial life as any other mnn in bis profession.
His talents and originality ns a preoohor wore
soon acknowledged, and to-doy bo bolds a promi
nent place among the most eloquent pulpit orators
of Amorioa. Ho Is a thorough aud independent
Bills student, and has long made It his only oreed,
discarding all olhers, however congenial in some
respeots, as mnn-miido, and’henoe unworthy tho
broad basis of Christian union, to the promotion
of which many years of his life havo boon directed
with seif-sacrifioing devotion. To this ond, he has
conceived, and endeavored to put in proctloo, va
rious soboinos, all of which, whothor from tho mis
conception of his plans or tho wont of proper sym
pathy from bjs trethron, e been comparatively
unsuccessful. Ur. Btockton is a splendid theorist,
but ho is not sufficiently practical for the matter
of-fact age In which he lives. By some he has been
regarded as a vUlouary. A conscientious regard
for what ho conceives the Bible to tench would
probably bo a moro just conooption of Mr. Stock
ton’s union proclivities. While his bonosty is ad
mitted, and his ability admired, ho has mot with
comparatively tittle sympathy in the numerous en
terprises Which have occupied bis hopes and en
gaged his efforts at different periods of his life.
Some of his ideas, it is true, evolved twenty years
ago, havo, since then, beon token up by moro
praotlcal hands, and put in suocesjfiil operation,
among whioh wo may name his projeot of estab
lishing weekly religious journals, for the purpose
of promptly circulating intelligence of the various
Christian denominations. <-
What is not common in the pulpit, nor particu
larly bo out of it, Mr. Stockton has genius; but
ho lacks efficiency hi turning It to account)'though
in this his conscientious regard for tho right may
bo a serious obstacle. Ilia portion has been to
buffet the tide of popular sentiment without suffi
cient power to succeed in the conflict. He has al
ways labored under difficulties, and sorao of which
he has nobly surmounted. He has not bnd the
advantages of extensive soholastio attainments.
In answer to the inquiry, at what institution ho
had graduated, he onoe replied to a friend of the
writer’s, with characteristic frankness, that he was
an alumnus of Vrovidence! Though gifted with
superior lingual talents, his acquaintance with uny
other than his mother tongue is limited.
He was made a Doctor of Divinity, at fiottys
burg, some years ago, but, by his own consent, bis
name never appears with either the affix of
“D. D.” or the prefix of “ Rovcrend,” he being
avorso to cumbering tho name of an humble min
ister with any such honorary epithets. I once
hoard him say that he liked no namo so well as tho
one given him by his mother; no title so well as
the title of brother, a title, said he, broad as the
universe, enduring as eternity !
His oratorical powers, notwithstanding the marked
physical disadvantage under which ho labors, are
of a high order; and, that his eloquent discourses
should bo limited to congregations of one or two
hundred persons, and often less, is only to be ac
counted for by what has been already Intimated of
hts partnloxlcal, isolated, union-loving position.
When ho is announced to occupy tho pulpit of any
of his brethren, there is always an increased at
tendance to bear him. Ho is, in short, a univer
st] favorite ; almost nil who hear him admire his
ability and eloquoneo, and ore convinced of his
sincerity-* Andjyot, there Is no inan in tho pulpit
at ntlfSddlphTA tO-TJny neglected.
He is bold and outspoken in bis opinions, says what
ho thinks always, and only what he thinks,
very tonaolous of tho viows of Biblo truth
ho maintains, ho has In turn boon accused of lean
ing towards Catholicism on the one hand, and Uni
vorsalism on tho other, a fact which is probably at
tributable to his belief that professing Christians
hwe no right to exclude from fellowship any who
havo tho spirit of Christ , which ho doos not ho-
Have to bo wholly confined to, or withheld from,
profc.ning faith in Ilia namo.
In this it will ho perceived that he takes in a
widor evangolicsl horizon than his as3o2iatos in tho
ministry generally.
In bis personal appcaranco Dr. Stockton is a
vltalizod ghost. For tho last thirty years ho has
been tho subject of a slow pulmonary affection, at
first supposod to bo of a tubercular form, but which
has gradually assumod a moro asthmatic nature
110 is slender, tall, and porlbetly eroct, and os he
p*is3oa along tho stroot, with his long white hair,
slightly inclined to curl at the end, his pale face,
with nothing in it to Indioato life except his large
intellectual oyo, and his bond always thrown in the
direotion of thoughtful Observation, ho looks in all
respects the gravest spocimop of a hard-working
jiving man* imaginable. In tho pulpit his person
is rendered still moresingularand impressive by his
stylo of proachlng, which is at times almost aa
unearthly as his vocalization is sepulchral.
Almost tho first omntion awakened In tho mind of
a stranger by Dr. Stockton is, sympathy for his ex
treme physical infirmity. So feeble is ho, indeod,
at times, that incomraencingliis church sorvioosho
is obliged to bo seated. Ho will commence his dis
course in a low tono of voioo with much effort, and
painful interruptions of coughing, and so continuo
for several minutes, until suddenly his soul seems
to burst out in a blaze of ardor, obtaining acorn
ploto mastery over its corporeal scaffolding, and ho :
becomes strong, animated and electrical. His voice
no longer remains weak and husky, but is unjjer
the orator's complete control. No auditorium la
then too largo for bis voluminous voico to fill; nor
is tho soopo of its modulationslcss romarkablo. Ilis ,
eagle eye dilates as inhispeouliar. long, arched ac
cents he dwells upon somo word upon which ho
wishes to fix tho supremo atlentioiuof his hoarers.
The analytical oast of Dr. Stockton’s mind is
indicated in every sontonco ho uttors. Ho i 3 a
most methodical and systematic dissector of ideas.
This element of his mind is singularly exhibited in
bisa<TCM/.f, in which, indeed, is found the dis
tinguishing characteristic of his stylo. Ho has
two inodes of emphasizing capital words. Ono Is,
by placing them at tho close of a sentence, and re
poatiug them three successive times in a different
tone of voice, either from a lower to a higher
pUob,or vice versa) and tho othor is, by pro
longing a slnglo word from tho horizon to the
zonlth, and sometimes beyond it. In typographi
cal parlance his style abounds in caps, small caps,
and Italics. It is also profusely exclamatory. An
exclamation mark, after hearing ouo of Dr, Stock
ton’s tremendous protraoted O’s assumes a now
significance. From a strain almost hilarious, ho
will at times make an instantaneous transition into
tire gloomy valo of death Itself by bis deep
sepulchral tones and graphic pictures of despair.
He generally rends his sormong from manuscript,
which Is as neat and conciso in ohlrography ns it is
fnultloss in syntax; though, in extemporising, he
is nover at a loss for tho right word in the right
place. All who have over heard him, or read his
writing*, will have noticed lids peculiar finish in
bis style.
A briof summary of tho several posts Dr. Stock-
ton has filled slnoo entering the ministry in 1829,
may here be properly introduced. His first field
of labor, as a pastor, was on the Eastern Sbofe of
Maryland. In tho following year, ho was sent by
tho Conference of which bo was a member, to the
city of Baltimore, where, after taking ohargo of
two churches—the "St. John’s," and the “Pitt
Slreot"—Ms health bocamo so much impaired in
tho following winter, that lie was assigned a mis
sionary rotation, for the purposo of affording him
tho advantages of leisure and travel. In 1832, ho
returned to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, his
labors being in Talbot and Queen Anno counties.
The noxt field assigned him was (leorgotown,
D. 0., whloh was in 1833, from whence, nfter re
maining two years, ho was appointed to take
charge of the Methodist Protestant Book Concern,
which he did for one year.
It was during bis stay in Georgetown that Dr.
Stockton was elected to the chaplaincy of Con gross
for tho session of 183'M, (o which position he was
re-elected for the session of 1835-fl. In tho spring
of 1836 ho again wont to Baltimore to become the
pastor of St. John's Church, and in 1838 came to
Philadelphia. Here he first officiated as locturor
for the Philadelphia Instituto, occupying tboball
in Filbert street, above Eleventh, owned by Mat
thew Nowkirk, Esq., President of the Institute, by
whose permission and approval Dr. Stockton com
menced holding a series of meetings for pubilo
worship; and it was through there that ho esta
blished the Methodist Protestant Church at the
corner of Eleventh and Wood streets, of which
Mr. Murray is now the pastor; the present edifice
having been erected in 1840. It was during his
connection with this church that be edited tse
“ Christian World?* which he continued to the
end of the fifth volume. Dr. Stockton’s publica
tion plans wero at that period very extensive, bpt
they were never consummated. It was about this
timo also that he undertook to establish a daily
religious journal, but which expired with the
issue or the fourth number, and his ardor to dis
seminate, in this effective form, Christian lltera
turo’was thus doomed to disappointment. »
In 1847 ho left Philadelphia to' take charge ;oy
the Sixth-street Methodist Protestant Church :in
Cincinnati, where ho remained two years. It was
during bis labors there that Dr. Stockton, notwith
standing his want of ,a classical education, was
unanimously olected to the Presidency of Miami
University, one of the two State institutions of Ohio,
but doolined the honor, preferring to remain with
bis church to tho ond or bis term. From circum
stances which arose soon after, Dr. Stockton began
to preach independently as he found opportunity-
At their invitation he occupied regularly for some
Ume tho unapplied paipU of a Unitarian coflgre-,
gallon. Tho Free Masons of Cincinnati next
offered him their ball, and for a season he preached
the Gospel in it. Being solicited to return to Bal
timore and Übo charge of St. ’John’s Chtiipb,
which in tho meantime had also becomo indepen
dent, ho accepted, dividing his time between the
latter, and the Independent Associate Reformed
Presbyterian Church of Baltimore, fomerJjDr
Dunoan’s. Ho continued In that relation three and
a half years, at tho close of whioh ho again re
turned to Philadelphia in 1856, where he has since
remained.
Practically, ho Is now savored from all ecclesi
astical connections. He feels the Methodist Epis
copal doors oloaed to his ministry by its (to him)
impracticable* Itinerancy, and like barriers aro in
torposod by the Protestant Episcopal Church, in
requiring him to believe In the Apostolic Succes
sion { by the Presbyterian Church, in requiring
him to subscribe to the Westminster Confession,
and by tbo Baptists, In their practloeof close com
munion. During the last three yo&rs ho has suc
cessively held preaching services at Jayne’s Hall,
National Hall, Market stroot, above Twelfth, and
tho hall on the northwest corner of Girard avenue
and Thirteenth stroot, where bo now preaobos
every Lord’s day, designating tho congregation he
has been laboring to establish as the “Church of
tho New Testament.” His congregation is small,
and their weekly contributions, of course, do little
moro, 4f any, than meet the eqrrent expenses of
the hall.
With Dr. Stookton’s enterprise of publishing the
sixty-six books of the Bible in separate volumes
tho public is already familiar. Of these the twenty
seven books of tho New Testament have ap
poarod. His last effort in tho publishing line is
The Bible Ttmes, a penny weekly, the fifth num
ber of which was issued on Saturday last, and, like
everything else emanating from Us editor, bas
been generally received as entirely unobjectionable.
It remains to be soon whether bis friends, in the
pulpit and out of it, will extend to this last effort
the patronage needed to keep it alive. Looking
upon Dr. Stookton, in every aspect, there is proba
bly no prominent man in tho community at once so
free from enemies, and yet so devoid of devoted
friends as ho. There is hardly a man in the pulpit
of Philadelphia, to-day, more deserving of sym
pathy ; (hero Is nono who receives so little. But
enough: spaoo and the reodor’s patience bare
probably already been enoroaohod upon; and yet
it was difficult to present a full-length portrait of so
tall a subject upon a smaller canvas.
PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.
John Bnown’s Irea ov ms Positios.—The
Charlestown correspondent of the New York Tri
bnne says that John Brown says:
“ * I do not know that I ought to encourage any .
attempt to save my life. I am not sure that it
would not be belter for mo to die at this time. I
am not incapable of error, and I may be wrong;
but I think that perhaps my objects would be near
er fulfilment if 1 should die. I most give it some
thought.’ There is no insincerity about this, you
may no sure. Brown does not value his life; or, at
loast, is wholly unmoved at the prospect of losing
it. lie was never more firm than at this moment.
The only compnnotioos bo expresses Are In relation
to his management at Harper’s Ferry, by which he
lost not only himsolf, but sacrificed his associates.
Ho sometimes says that if he had pursued his ori
ginal plan of immediate escapo to ibe mountains, he
oould never have been taken, for he and his men
bad studied the vicinity thoroughly, and knew it a
hundred times better.than any of the inhabitants.
It was, he says, his weakness in yielding to the en
treaties of bis prisoners, and delaying his depart
ure, that ruined him. <lt was the first time,’ are
bIS.WWj)*, .W of
and now I am punished for It.’ ’*
The same correspondent gives the following
account of what Brown’s plan really was:
“ f have not heard of anybody who, whatever
crimes ho may kavo attributed to Brown, has
doubted his word. Here is his own account of bis
purpose at Harper’s Ferry :
“ Ho had calculated upon, and fully expected to
accomplish, a rescue of a gneat number of slaves. 1
To maintain a warlike position in Virginia for any
definite period was not his object. The idea of hi*
seizing tbo armory for tho sake of the weapons it
contained he wiU not admit. He says he had fa:
better weapons of his own. Ilis occupying it at all
was a variation from his original determination.
Ho had decided to take Col. Washington and the
other prisoners to the Harper’s Ferry bridge, aud
thoro to establish a commanding position, from
which ho would insist upon exchanges of slaves for
his prisoners. In oase he should have been dis
lodged, ho would have retreated in haste to the
mountains, with the intricacies of which be had
made himself so much moro familiar than tbo in
habitants themsolves, that ho believed ho could
defy all attempts to apprehend him. He had sup
posed that, after a few days of successful evasion,
he would bo joined by hundreds of slaves anxious
to oscope, by whose aid he could have perfected ar
rangements for an enormous rescue. This, as I un
derstand It, was his real plan.
“ The reason of tbo change was, ho avers, that as
tho night of tho rising was very severely cold, he
"Suddenly concluded to have tho prisooora taken to
the armory, where they would not be exposed to
the weather, anticipating no trouble In moving on
with them, iu case ho should not be able to effeot
tho*excbauge9 with negroes before tho genera] alarm
should spread. Disappointed lo this Hope, he had
only to fight to the end.
“ Somo ono, tho othoT day, asked Brown the
reason why ho did not go farther South to make
this attempt. He answered that there were strong
objections on the score of humanity—moaning, as
was afterward explained, that tho ferocity of the
slaves further South could not havo been checked,
and that a groat massaoro would havo been the
result. ”

encounter between Heenin, the t( Benleia Boy,”
and Sayors, the champion of England, have at
length been arranged, and the fight is to take place

Heennn is victorious, Morrissoy proposes to fight
him on English ground for tbe championship of

place, whose disappearance we noticed last week,

Server, alias Minnie Lusk, with whom it is alleged

The Assistant Bishop of Pennsylvania, Dr; Bow
man, officiated twice in this city on Sunday lost, in
the afternoon in the chapel of St. Luke’s Hospital,
to a largo congregation. This institution, com
pleted about a twelvemonth since, is one of the
most chaste, specious, admirably conducted, and
best appointed «f oar city charities. It owes Its
origin and present successful condition to the
active, large-hearted benevolence of tbe Rev. Dr*
Muhlenberg, the author of the beautiful hymn,
commencing
“ 1 would not live always,” Ac., Ac.
I have beard, by the way, that early in life Dr.
M. was betrothed to a sister of the lady who was
affianced to President Buchanan. Like the Presi
dent, he hunever married.
Although undor tbe influence of the Episcopal
Church, the wards of the hospital are open to
all who come to It for medical treatment
and shelter. These wards each open Into
tho large chapel in the centre of the build
ing. and at the ordinary religions services the
clergymen on taking position in its eontre, can be
seen and heard from the cot of every invalid. The
chapel itself U a gem of urchitectaril beauty, ard
is kept with a fastidious cleanliness, that strikes
one the moment on entertog the building/ With
its surroundings and influences, you are reminded
of the old historical hospitals of Europe, wljere the
ministrations to the sick and the ministrations of
rriigloatgo together, hand 1n hand.' *ln the even
ing Bishop Bowman preached to a crowded audi
tory in Calvary Church, (Dr. Hawks’), in behalf of
the Free Church Association. The impression be
left was highly favorable to him as a sound, able,
scholarly divine, peculiarly fitted to discharge the
responsible /uid sacred duties of the episcopate.
There is a little flutter of hope among persons
interested in tbe Erie Railroad. Since its offolra
passed into tbe bands of a receiver, its revenue has
Increased, and its expenditures diminished. Its
net income last month was $190,940, against
$140,081 in October, 1853. The two English direc
tors who hare been here scanning its affairs are
satisfied with tbe management and economies of
tho present executive, and express the belief that
by altering all the locomotives so as to fit them for

The financial bistory of tbe world presents no pa
rallel to the succession of mammoth blunders and
behemoth swindles that have followed each other
on tho track of ibis road, since the day its iron
ways reached the shores of Lake Brie. Will the
plucked stockholders, who hare paid their thou
sands and tens of thousands towards this .magnifi

Outsiders, after all, know nothing about the reaf
condition of railroad companies. The New Tork
Central, for oxample, received over seven hundred
thousand dollars for its traffic during the month
of October, just passed. Yet the American Rail
way Review states that every dollar of tho money
to pay its last dividend, was borrowed, and most of
U borrowed in this city. Rather odd, isn’t it ?
.Bonner, of the Ledger, isn’t advertising much
just now, probably holding back for the holidays;
but somebody is advertising him —writing thing*
in tho Post about his horses. A one-horse indi
vidual having circulated the calumny that R. B.
was obliged to employ a professional driver to
“ tool” his team, the Tribune trotted to the rescue
‘and dissipated the public anxiety by stating that
Lantern and Lady Woodruff were as docQe a span
of horses as ever flew before a wagon, and that
R. B. has never—no never-r-been accompanied by
a professional teamster. Like Commodore Vander
bilt, George Bancroft, Charles A. Dana, of the TV*-
bunr t and Col. John Harper, (of Harper A Broth
ers,) ho rides ont almost every afternoon for the
felicity or the thing. It is something for a news
paper man to be able to stand in majesty and lay
I drive the fastest pair of horses owned by any
man in this hemisphere! Don’t you think so?
The United Slates steamer Brooklyn sailed to
day for Vera Cruz, having on board Minister
McL&ne and family. The Brooklyn has been
put in complete repair, and is pronounced to be
one of tho finest steamers in the service. The
work for the season is noarly finished at the navy
yard, the only heavy matter on band being the
magnificent stone launahing-ways, designed and
constructed by the clever young chief engineer, of
the yard, Charles K. Graham, Esq.
The mammoth wind-bag of Professor Lowo, at
Reservoir Square, was collapsed yesterday at noon,
sufficient gas having been passed into it to test
its strength and tightness. The exhibition has
paid handsomely, several thousands of ourious
people having deposited with the Professor the nun
of five-and-twenty cents each as a token of their
appreciation oil his enterprise. It is not announced
at what time the grand blowing np and going up
will t&ke place, but the bold Lowe statestbatwhen
all is ready be can complete the inflation in twelve
hours.
The Barney Williamses have made a capital hit
at Nihlo’s, both as regards reputation and rhino.
They first offered to play for Mr. Eddy for $2OO
per night. Declined. Next proposed to take half
the house/ Accepted. Result: house from $6OO
to $7OO. Mr. B. W. bags from $lOO to $l5O more
nightly than he had "set his heart on." Every
body satisfied. Mr. B. W,> away from the foot
lights, Is a quiet, thrifty, business-like gentleman,
and talks stock, house, and real estate with as
much gravity and sense as any of the old codgers
who pass their lives in buying and selling land*
and meAsuAges. There’s nothing in the constitu
tion or by-laws against an actor’s being seised and
possessed of land, though It too often happens
that they are so constituted as to make the long
holding of the same impracticable. Jlr. B. W. has
now arrived at that pleasingpoint in social history
when It is Said of a man : “be lives on the income."
The office of Trinity Chnrch, in Church street,
was entered last Saturday night, the safe blown
open, and the communion plate and $3OO in money
stolon. The Communion service, valued at about
1300, was very old, some of thepteoes having been
presented to the church over a hundred and fifty
years ago.
* The " Sicilian Vespers,” last evening, was an

Manning the Naw.— Sir Charlee* Napier has
addressed a long letter to the First Lord of the Ad
the best method of keeping the nary
J\* biaeountre in an efficient state. The admiral
thinks that the greatest of all evils in the navy is
the eonfinement to which men are subjected on
board ship. Other causes of complaint are the
discomfort of the hulks when the sWare fitting
out, and the delay in paying tbe allotments to sea
men s wives. He considers that the men should be
pa(d weekly, that moderate leave should be given,
that ja dnu experienced men should not be con
founded with recruits, and that vessels in tho
thannel and Mediterranean fleets ritould change
places at times In order that the teamen might
hare an opportunity of seeing their friends aftener.
JHien vessels require repairs, instead of paying off
the disciplined craw he would transfer them to an
other ship. The gallant admiral suggest? some al
teration as to Greenwich hospital, for when an officer
Ibb* that establishment he retains his half-pay,
and, if wounded,-his pension; but it is not with the
rereect to.ihe naval reserve- Sir
Charles Napier thinks that the five pounds bounty
:is not a sufficient inducement for good men.
He suggesto thaMhe-raserre should be formed
of men who have seen ten years* actual ser
nee, and who, instead of being allowed a pen
sion, should be entitled to ester »*the Queen’* Naval
Guards.” After haring been ten yean in the re
serve, they should receive a good pension, but be
subject to be called upon, lr fit and wanted, and
then designated the “Old Guard,** and receive,
as they do now, both pay and pension. Simulta
neously with the letter of Sir. Charles Napier on
the stote of the navy, there appeota another letter
on the some subject from Admiral' Sir Maurice
°® r Ke!ey. . jfe calls Cherbourg the great bugbear
of the day, believing, as he does, that Cherbourg
is just the very place for the French fleet to be in,
seeing that H eas be so easily watched from Spit
head or Portland. fiirJ&aurioe also thfnlta that we
should provide, ourselves, not only with a channel
fleet, hub with a channel force—with a force, that
a say,'which would serve to protect our shores even
in the event of an sns&cocsaful action os the part
of our channel fleet For this purpoee, ho would
resort to means which we fortunately poasosa in
some abundance—small craft and gunboats; and
i he conceives that a swarm of these revels, heavily
*rmed, as they would be. and easily manned,
would suffiee'to repel any attempt at Invasioc, even
if we should have lost for a time the command of
the chaqnel. As regards the mannings it is highly
Srobahle that crewslbr such craft os'three,'strictly
evoted to coast service, would be raised 'without
much difficulty.

Religious Revival in India.— The Bombay

about the neglected state of General Havelock’s
tomb at the Alnzobagh, we believe we are correct

objected to the tomb being erected at the public
expense, and supplied Major Crommelin with
funds to make a vault to receive the body. Not

for the monument, Sir Henry is haring one pre

spot, where stone and marble are ready.— Gtof*.
Th* Ghost at the War Wil-

considered, whose object has been thoroughly to sift
.this question of apparitions, and to test tbe case*
produced by every test of logical and metaphysical
inquiry, by the principles of the severest legal and
historical evidence; and that, after examining a
vast number of such statements, the conclusion they
have eome to is that * the gbosts jbave it’ As the
correspondence was a merely private and friendly
one, we do not feel ourselves at liberty to publ>*h
Mr. Dickens’s answer, in which he assures Mr.
Howitt that the cases given in All the Year Round
were genuine ©axes, in no degree altered or gar
nished ; that he has heard the narrator relate them
for jeart as perfectly true; and what Is more, that
. the narrator has himself lived in a famott3 “ haunted
house” In Kent which H shut up now, or was the
other day. That be himself bos always taken a
great interest in these matters, but requires evi
dence such as he has not yet met with; and that
whflQ he thinks of the amount of misery and in
justice that constantly obtains in this world, which
a word from the departed dead person in question
could set right, he would not believe—could not
believe—in the Wer Office Ghost without over

The finance department of the Austrian Go-
vernment was empowered by an imperial protest,
in 1854, to rai«e. by a voluntary loan, the maxi
mum sum of 500.000,000 florins, but that depart
ment has now acknowledged that the sum raised
was 611.571,300 fiorius. The announcement has
produced an exceedingly bed impression in Vicuna,
and people ask how it is possible to have confi
dence in a Government which keeps faith with no
body.
Advices have been.recelve&from Naples to the
15th ultimo. The Neapolitan corps d'armie on the
frontiers is being continually increased/ It will
amount to 30,000 men. Goneral PianeUt is the
commander of the vanguard on the river Tronto;
General Yiale commands the corps of reserve sta
tioned at San Gennano. The King is making pre
parations to start with his military staff. There
Is great activity in all the arsenals. Tire whole
army has gradually been placed on a war footing.
According to & letter from Rome, of the 11th
the Papal Government has agreed to grant cer
tain reforms. The lay element is to be largely
admitted into the public administration, bat " a
complete secularisation of the Government is itn q
possible, for. in foot, that would be its downfall."
The same writer tells us, from a good source, that
tbequtstionof the Legations will shortly be resolved,
in foot, “ Cardinal Antouelli has himself given that
assurance."
A letter from Turin contradicts the report that
the Government of Central Italy would be en

The report thatFranceelaims 300.000.000 f as war

It appears that 40,000 stand of anas were re
turned to the Chinese at Canton. previous to the
known result of Mr. Bruce's mission to Pekin,"
and, of course, when it was known, they were all
collected in again.
The proposed expedition to China has excited
great emulation among the maritime Power* of
Europe. Independently of the squadrons that
Austria and Prussia intend, it is said, to send to
the Chinese seas, Sweden end Denmark are stated
to be likewise preparing to despatch ships to watch
the operations of the Anglo-French forces.
Tbe last newspapers from Tasmania (Van Die
man’s Land) contain several farther paragraphs
respecting the gold discoveries in that island. At
a public meeting, at Circular Head, an expedition
had been arranged to explore the reefs of quarts
ascertained to.exist in the lt was
said that specimens had been tested giving an
average yield of 8 ounces of gold to the ton, 15
ounces haring been insomecases obtained. Haifa
ton had boen sent to Melbourne to be crushed.
Gmd had also been discovered on the Wilmot. a
river running into the Forth on its western side,
and on the Forth itself, above the junction of tbe
Wilmot, and some distance below the ford at Mid
dlesex Plains. It was, therefore, inferred that the
gold-producing area in that region is extendi re.
There was still, however, .no Certainty that it ex

for labor, such as may be obtained at any or the or
