SATURDAY, NOVEJIBER 20, 1859. llayard Taylor ou Humboldt* The sixth lecture of tho course befijro thePeo plo’a Literary Institute wns delivered at Concert Itall, on Thursday evening, by Bayard Taylor, Esq., his subject being “Alexander Yon Hum' boldt. ” With the exception of Jlr. Beecher’s tho opening one of tho eourfo—tho audience on Thursday evening wua tho largest of tho season, almost every sent in tho hou.-o, including tho plat form and gallery, having been occupied. Tbe lecture itsolf, in tho strength and Intorcat or its matter , was a masterly effort. What can, with truth, be aaidi of comparatively few lectures of tho day, tboro waa something iu this worth remem boring. Mr. Taylor’s dolivory, however, is not adapted for popular appreciation. It has tho merit, it is true, of being thoroughly unassuming, and to that oxtont pleasing; still, a little more attention to his manner, no loss than to his wrong accents and mis placed emphasis, would add much to tho pleasure ofhißhoarors, and do bolter justieo to hisgonius. Indood, how any on© so pollahod in intellect, and provorbialjy accurate in observation, can be so in. different to hia elocution, la a myatory—so little connection has his emphasis with the sense of what ho is saying. Yot it must bo confessed that tho treatment of his great subject, in tho ewontiafs of tasto, comprehensiveness, and detail, was in tho Jilgbost degree creditable. As he progressed, bear ing tho wonderful powers and achievements of Humboldt onward and upward before tho imagina tion o( his hearers, ho scorned uti athletic young giant every whit competent for tho mighty task. Occasionally there was a burst of applause, but oftenor thoro was an intensity of interest too earn est to tolerate such boisterous demonstrations. 110 began with Humboldt’s birth in 1760, de signating him as one of a constollation of renownod intellects whioh had almost simultaneously risen above tho horizon. lie then followed him through' his youth; his ’early proclivities to scientific re- Fearch; his matured manhood, and mighty plAns for conquoring knowledge, and wresting from tbe , mysterious dopths of came the key of tho Creativo Power; ending with a glanoo at bis herculean la bors, and his recent death. He desenntod upon tho travels of bis hero, saying that he regarded Humboldt’s voyago to America, in all Its interest ing details—(which wero given)—as tho finest in stance of enthusiasm for discovery on record. The powers of description possessed by that great man were represented as most perfect, nis descriptions of physical objects, from tho smallest to tho most publimc, were bat tho transparent medium through whioh tho reader saw them exactly as they arc. While it was not the intent of tho lecturer to pro sont Humboldt in a comparative light, as ho told us at tho outset, he, nevertheless, in speaking of tho investigating powers of his mind, compared him to Bacon, acting that what tho latter was in reflection , Humboldt was in investigation; in other words, ho was Bacon put tti practice. Still, it was the heart and charaoter of tho man that tho Icoturor aimed chiefly to present, rather than his mere achievements, and which he did with great artistic skill. Ilis religion, it was said, was. too deep and coinprchonsivo for tho ordinary for wularios which men attach to it. Ho was truly, devout, but seldom attended places oF public wor ship. Tho opinion bo had entertained of some moro regular church-goers than himself was faco tioutly indicated in tho following incident: He had onco beon addressed, as ho was coming out of a cathedral, owing to its being so unusual an occur rence, with this Inquiry: “ Why, what has brought you hero to-day?” To which Humboldt replied, u Bon’t you think I want to keep in favor with the public os well as tho rest of you ?'* Tho speaker deprooated tho idea, as oxpressed in one of tho nowspspers, that “ Humboldt was a murderer of souls,” because, forsooth, his philosophical re searches had not convinced him of Iho necessity of infant baptism, or the oxistenoo of Pargalory, and Konio other dogmas of eijual magultudc In tho cstl mttion of tho pious. In this connection tho lecturer also said that ring a visit to Humboldt, (ho latter had shown hint a chameleon, calling particular attention to the peculiar structure its eye*, which were fixed Jn the end of two ippppo4te TT" * w lln wn * eye toward* Cllho «ticr nym liad reminded him fo7ciihy t virion evinced by certain dergymon } cridontly alluding to auoh of tho latter rb arc not altogether Iroo from tho love of luoro. His unostentatious democratic principles wado him universally beloved. When amid the revolu tionary movement? of 1848 tho bongo of Hmnboldt was surrounded by a fierce mob clamoring for Its inmate, without knowing who ho was, tho old man, with Ms whlto head uncovered, went out into tho street and simply said, “ I am Humboldt; what do you want with meupon which thore wont up a goneral about of admiration, from that mo ment his bouse, instead of being in danger, was enthusiastically guarded. Tho mind of Humboldt was described by tho lee* turer as •• almost a phenomenon.’* Macaulay, it was said, was ablo to rocito, from memory, tho whole of “ I’aradiso Lost,’’ and yet tho memory of Humboldt must bo admitted to have evinced greater things. Indcod, ho was never known to forget anything. A traveller recently returned from Jerusalem, had found, in conversation with Humboldt, that tho latter was as thoroughly conver sant with tho streots and houses in Jerusalem naho was himself, ho,asked tho old man how long it was since ho hod visited Jerusalem; to which tho latter replied, i( I havo never been thero, but expected to go sixty years ago, and pre pare*/ myself!** Until within a short time of hia death ho had ha bitually worked sixteen hours a day, and so accus tomed had ho become to work that in roply to the inquiry, whether ho did not become fatigued ? he onoo said to tho lecturer, “No; I have been so long used to it that work has hocoino n rest ” Du ring tho nioro vigorous portion of hia life bis sleep, which was always taken in tho early morning, hod been limited to three and a half hours out of twenty-four, but toward tho close of his life the al lowance had boen extended to four hour*! In porson, ho was dcsoribed by Mr. Taylor as of rather below Uio medium stature, his shoulders slightly stooping, and his head thrown forward, as if woighod down by its ponderous contents. Ilia skin was fair and smooth, and ho had a largo, youthful bluo eye. From a comparison with a por trait painted of him at tho ago of thirty-four, if wo rctnemhor correctly, tho sharp outline of his luoutli at that ago had given plaeo to a less definite expression of that foaturo in his after life. The speaker's final tribute to tho memory of Humboldt was a worthy conclusion of tho hour’s entertainment. His memotg, it was said, would bo perpotuated forever in tho great tcioploof n»* , turo, with ovory department of which his namo had becomo indissolubly linked. It would over bo kept green in tho palm leaves and tho umbrageous Follego of tho tropics. Chimborazo woro his naiuo on its snow-capped brow*, like a glistening jewel, and from tho distant heavens Aloxandre reflected tho glory of bis penetrating mind. Tho California correspondent of tho Now Yoik Cb/iriVr *V Juttjuirery alluding to tho recent gold tud allvor discoveries in California, says: “Two now excitements have sprung up hero within tho past month, which keenly agitate tho more mercurial portion of tho population. They arise in reports of the discovory of rich beds of silver ore in Wnslioo Valley, and of gold placers yielding in astonishing profusion at Mono Lake, \YasUoo Valloy is in Utah, just over tho State lino, about 120 miles from this city. Mono Lake is within California, but not mure than fifteen mile*} from tho boundary, and 1»>0 miles south of Wnshoo. Thorp is no doubt at all of tho purity of silver oro gout from tho new mines for assay to San Fmncisvo. Persons who aro familiar with tho richest ores of this metal found in Peru and Mexico declare that this far exceeds them in riohuoss. But your read ers must not ucccpt tho statements which tho California papers will furnish them without duo explanation and many allowances, ft Is said flint tho ora yields by assay $3,000 in silver and $l,OOO in gold por ton. Tho meaning of thisis, that sorno pieces of ore weighing a pound or two pro duced that proportionate value to the ton. What its average fineness may bo, how expensive tho work ing may prove, or whether the deposits will bo found worth working at all, are questions which no 1 moans havo yet bcou taken to §o lvo Tho mode of circulating tne intelligence concerning these new ! mines boars a strong family likenow to tho Fraser Jtiver and Pike’s Peak deceptions. It was Brat af firmed that a firm in San Francisco had contracted to advance $2,000 per ton on all the ore that might bo furnished. It uoe3not appear that any has boen gold thero, but it seems that four lons woro shipped to New York by eneof tho steamers of th®2tUh instant, for ft more rcllAblo test of ils value. Again, one-flixth of an interest in one of tho veins la affirmed to havo boon sold for $d0.000» It the interest was ft half, this gale would lodlcato s72fi,- 000 as tho value of the whole. Now, it is nearly cortaln that, richas tho oro may bo, thero haayet boon no timo nor opportunity in that secluded re cion to prove ituy one vein to bo worth three quar ters of a million °f dollars.” The Wheeling Intelligencer, of Monday, says We learn that certain suspicious-looking boxes, consigned to tho vicinity of Harper’s FerTy, havo been detained at Benwood Slntion, to contain blunderbusses “and things,” for rewne and insurrectionary purposes. Previous to the narporiu Ferry outbreak, nnd since, a number cf coffins, cuppojed now to have contained arm*. passed over the road. TWO CENTS. RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. Lecturing vs. PnEACui.vo.-Tho Presbyterian of this weok devotes a short article to the subject of “Lecturing,” which the writer, while he is not proparcd to iovelgh against the system as a whole, /bars Is running into abuses of various kinds. To quote— u Ono lecturer is an Infidel, who asys very cutting things about superstition and bigotry, mcaniag evangelical religion; another, a Uniref salist, who discourses on liberality; another is a fearless orator on treason; and still another is a clorgyman, who makos his audience laugh at his low witticisms, and who brings down the house as he caricatures tho pulpit and its clerical incum bents.” In. view of this, Christians aro called nj>on to pause and ask themselves If they are doing right when onoott raging, by their money and pre sence, a system so abused as to bring reproach upon sacred thiugs. To this wo may add, what is not a little signifi cant, that the very points hero referred to, judging from tho applause thoy invariably elicit, consti tute tho most uppreciatul hit% in these literary entertainments. And what is the natural infe rence ? Clearly, that the popular taste, rather than the lecturor’s, is in fault, Inasmuch as tho latter, like other sharp business men, try their best to suit their customeri. Pev.

About $210,000 is annually expended for this cause. Thb Israelite, a Jewish paper In Cincinnati, is zealously enforcing oh its roaders tho necessity of keeping holy tho seventh day. As a result, theHe brow wholesale merchants of that city, and they comprlso an important part of its trade, have re solved to close thoir places of business on that day. Liberal ExnowjißNT.—Jcremiahll, Brown, who had agreed to support fifty-two young men study ing for the Baptist ministry in Howard College, Alabama, at an annual eoatof $13,000 in the aggre gate, has recently endowed a theological chair in that collcgo, by the contribution of S2J,<MO, in ad dition to Uls former pledge.

PEKSONAL AND POLITICAL. u3 p * Mr. Ladowick De Wilt, the oldest resident of Piko county, Pa., died at Milford, on (he s(h instant, in the PSth year of his ago. Ho was one of tho first settlors of that county, and remembered when it was still the home of the red man. In the days of his boyhood ho was in tho habit of meeting with tho Indian children, and of partaking with :theui in their sports. Ho could well remember when tho Delaware Indians, as*allios of Great Britain, became hostilo to tho early settlors along the river. Ho had, about tho time it took place, or soon after, a knowledge of many a massacre •whisk was perpotrated by tho Indians. Salt River.—Tho editor of thoLoaUviUe }lc> raU thus writes about a famous river in Kentncky : 14 It was on the bank 3 of tho old Salt river that (ho tacn once lived who, whea taking down flat boat loads of salt to New Orleans, bWamo tho ter ror of the land from their home* to the mouth of tho Mississippi. They wero a rough, hardy race, evor ready for a dram or a fight, and not inappro priately werw called the ‘Salt River Tiger*.' •Thoy wero tho uicn who called themselves one half ■Wf ee; UfdT and the other half snap ping turtle, each man of them ever ready to * whip bis weight in wild cats. r Bat those day* are passed. Aianawha produces salt so much cheaper than can wdl3 , oa U>« ■>«*« haunts. To bo ‘rowed upSaltt Hiver'l' no idle throat, no trifling matter, though now it’s* but a * figuro of speech. ” The Defeat of Gen. Wnicur the Democra tic Candidates roa Gqveqxou im New Jersey,— The Hackottrtown (Ncir Jersey) Gazette says: , “ Unx. Wright is Sissbx.— ln Sussex, & county that alone should have given Mr. Wrighta greater piajurity than received by Mr. Olden in the whole State, and whore the divisions of tho party in re ference to tho Locompton folly of Mr. Buchanan had just been compromised and healed, the wounds were opened afresh by the umoval, on tho part of tho Administration, of a worthy and popular De mocrat from & petty poat-offico, on account of his entertaining principles in harmony with those of Judge Douglas, and also with Mr. Buchanan when ho was elected in ISSG. Tho result is, that this staunch Democratic county —always good for from 1,500 to 2,000 Democratic majority—-gave Mr. Wright but & meagre majority of 035.” - A Kentucky Pomicns’s Tuocgqts on tor llANonc or .John Broww.—The Frankfort (Ky.) Yeoman of the 10th instant contains a communica tion, said to bo written by nn “ eminent Democrat.’* Tho following aro the concluding paragraphs: * l If old John Brown is executed, there will bo thousands to dip their handkerchiefs la his blood ; relics of the martyr will bo paraded throughout the North; pilgrimages will be made to his grave, and wo should not be surprised to hear oi miracles wrought thero, as at the tomb Thomas a'Becket. Tho blood of this martyr would be as seed to this fanatical church, and as that of Joe Smith to the Church of the Latter-Day Saints. It could bo called In attestation of tho purity of their faith, and Gov. Wise would bo compared to Julian the Apostate, or to Grnhamo oF Claverhouse. ‘•Thore ia a fitness in this act of clemency in keeping with the “Spirit of the times. If&Euro joan despot, who maintains bis position solely by ho asriataceo of tbo Zouaves and Turcos, with millions of discontented subjects impatient of his rulo-—with treason plotting at hia palace gates, and himself surrounded by assassins as subtle as the Thugs of India—if such a man, in Bucb a position, with a single dash of the pen can strike the chains from thousands of captives, and restore to their country and friends thousands of cxilod enemies, many of them with abilities in comparison with which tho mental endowments of Seward and Lin coln, and Chase, are as stupidity—if this can bo dono with tho applause of half a universe, think of tho eh/uno which must rest upon the Common wealth of Virginia, with a Bullion of freemen, themselves tbo sovereignty, and a quarter of a mil lion of slaves, held under patriarchal rulo, whose loyalty under temptation is an astonishment to jjirtuy who call themselves patriots;—we say, think of tho shame that must rest upon her. if her secu rity demands and receives tho blood of ono old, brave, bad tuan.'* I The following letter from Gov.

(from (be Richmond Euj Birer.J Strange as it may appear, there is on foot • greater effort, if possible, for thepardos of John E. Cook than was made for Old Brown. We are in formed by tho North loica Times that efforts are being made upon the press of the Northwestern States to effect this object. We do not feel the ex treme disgust for this attempt that is expressed by tho yorth lotca Times, because we know how littlo the character of Gov. Wise is understood by thoea who think that mercy from him can bo bought by political faToror extorted by personal threat Those who understand the character ofHenryA. Wise know that if ho believed Cook deserved par don it would bo oxtended to him, though opposed by evory paper in the broad limits of our country; but the pardonof Cook ia oak of the question —ke is the most guilty of all the Charlestown prisoners. So far from hia being the dope of Old Brown, Oasa watomie is the victim of John E. Cook. Cook misled Brown, deceived him, and imposed upon all of the prisoner*; ha gave descriptions of the persons of those who fled. Had Cook, who lived two years in Virginia, while engaged In banning this very crime, made known to old Irown the actual state of the negroes —had he In formed old Brown that be bad not been able to in duce oue rtavo to and that no aid was to bo expected from the non-slaveholders, John Brown bad too much shrewdness not to have seen the folly upon which he wa* engaged, and he would hare abandoned the undertaking. Cook married is Virginia for the purpose of bet ter concealing his designs, and not arousing sus picions. He is doubly criminal, for he sought the destruction of tha&a near and dear to Ms wife. Cook bad visited ms been hospitably entertained by the very gentlemen he afterwards robbed. He knew from actual experiment that no slaves would join him; he knew that without large reinforce ments from the North the attempt must faO; and hence he was the first to fly; and be planned hia , flight beforehand, leaving his deluded oomradefl t<Mueet the fato his deceptions had brought upon them. Does such a criminal deserve pardon ? no do not beliero any unbiased mind can, in the free of such facts, desire the pardon of this man. Tho fact of bis connection with Governor Wil- lard, while it will, doubtless, increaso the regret which an Executive always feels in withholding pardon, will have no influence in the present case. When men havo connections in high position, it should bo a restraint upon their conduct, and if such connection does not thos influence the vicious, it should never bo permitted to become an incen tive to crime, by the precedent of pardon. The Nurt/i Joica Tious thinks " that Virginia can afford to spare the craziest man of tbe insane band.” Virginia has never ereu subjected to trial a crazy loan, much less an “ insane band.” These tneu are not cm^y—and if any man believes them crazy, we have already pointed- out the mode by which our laws provide for testing the sanity. Let any try it who bcliovo them crazy. John Brown’s Insanity* It seems that by the law of Virginia, even after trial and conviction, upon a suggestion made of in t-anity, a prisoner may have that point tried by a jury. To give the counsel of John Brown an op portunity to have such an issue framed and tried, an application has been made to Gov. Wise to post pone the execution of the sentcnco; and as a oasix for hie action in the premise*, a collection of affida vits, taken in Ohio among the relatives and etriy acquaintances of Brown, has been submitted to him. We havo bad an opportunity of examiningtheseaffi. davits. It appears from them that Brown had resided the greater partofhislife in Ifudaon. Sum mit county, Ohio, of which his father was one of the original settlers. Brown was absent many years since, for a few years, in Pennsylvania, but returned again to Ohio, whence he removed some four or fix e years ago to Essex county. New York. It is abundantly shown by these affidavits that on the mother's side, Brown belonged to a family m which insanity was hereditary. His maternal grandmother waa insane fofiixycxnf and died in sane. Three of her children, a brother and two si'tors of Brown’s mother, suffered from the same dis )r Jcr, and another brother, who himself escaped, bad three insane children, cousins of John Brown. The only sister of John Brown was also liable to attacks of msanitv, as were a child of beta and two children of John Brown himself, v X brother of John Brown’s first wife states that at the time of her death, some twenty-four or £ro vein ego, the conversation and conduct of Brown strongly impressed bis relatives with the Idea of insanity on his part; and it is the opinion of this brother-in-law that ever since, at intervals, the miod of Brown has been more or lesa disordered. An unde of Brown*?, who might be supposed to hwe some koowlodge of the oyzuptoms of insanity, as hi? own mother aud three of his children were tbo uctims of that disorder, states that be has regarded Brown, for twenty years, aa subject to periods of insanity, not of a very marked type, but partaking of the character of monomania, Similar testimony is given by several perrons who describe themselves as acquainted with John Brown from early childhood. A pbyrici&n of Hudson, who has known Brown since l&li, has esteemed him subject to attacks of insanity, and has at times been fully convinced that each was hit condition. A lawyer whom Brown was la the habit of consulting about Wv business affaire, considered him of a very exci table temperament and as constitutionally predis posed to insanity. Several of his old acquaintance* who law him after his retan from Kansas, state that there was something in hu manner and conver sation and especially, the idea jnth which ha reemei to be impressed, and of which he often ,N>kß tfaAt ha Wt 3 »n iartruaient in the hand of cfod for the' orerthrow of slirerr, which imoreW then, with <h« W«» tkt his Ww jlirdrrrd.-.V.
