We have been dipping again into the auto graph catalogue of our old Dlend, John Wall er, bookseller, Fleet street , London, near St. Dunstan's Church, which once was remark able for a curious clock, (now in the Marquis of Hartford's mansion, in Regent's Park,) which every rural visitor'to London made a point of seeing, exactly at noon. This church, St. Dunstan's in the West, must not be Con founded with its namesake in the East, within a stone's throw of Billingsgate. The tower of the eastern church was built by Sir Christo pher Wrest. The St. Dunstan's church in Fleet street, not tar from Temple Bar, escaped trio groat fire of London in 1666, but was re built in 18 il-3. Two colossal figures stood in front of the tower on the old church, as if sup porting the massive clock. When the full hour was completed, ono of those_ gigantic ef figies lifted his hand, which held a massive hammer and atruck the.,quarters, very loudly, upon n'bell. This done, the other figure ad vanced and struck the honr upon another bell, with a.far4rpeAlsongd.,,, ficoursUAs curiosity was to seer And Is done at noon of day or night, 'because then effect was perceivable. When the church was rebuilt, the clock ,_and the huge *tires were condemned, but the Marquis of Dartford bought them, and has them still at work in his court-yard. Under the shadow of St. Dun stan's did the Wailers, father and son, flourish for many years, well known to the curious in books and autographs, by reason of their large stock of both, theirgreat knowledge of authors and autographs, and their moderate prices. The father has departed, and the son has moved to a larger establishment—Mill, how ever, near St. Dunstan's. We are going to look over his catalogue of autographs obtained at Dawson Turner's sale, where this ono dealer bought five thousand different specimens, many of them of surpassing value and interest. 4- Here, for example, is a latter of two pages folio, all in Dr. Franklin's own hand, and bear ing his well-known clear signature.. It is dated ;tune 20,1762, bears his seal, with armo rial bearings finely cut, and Is addressed to William Strahan, Printer to George the Third, to whom, it may bo remembered, Franklin subsequently addressed the celebra ted letter, in which ho said, if Yon and I wore long friends; you arc now my enemy, and lam yours." The letter which Mr. Waller has acknowledges the receipt of books, and says : Honest David Martin, Rector of our Academy, is dead; and the few remaining Play ers here are very indlinrent, so that I have no need of Stammas' 12e Pamphlet, and am glad you did not send it, lamnotwellacquainted with the Booksellers in Mew England to ven ture to recommend or advising you to deal with any of them milesa for ready cash. In general the people there are artful to get into debt, and pay badly. If 1 should ever make another journey thither, I could, when on the spot, Judge better of persons, and perhaps be of some service:" Here, again, is a missive from another Franklin—eon of the Doctor, and last Royal Governor of if the Jerseys." Ho was pen sioned by England for his losses during the War of Independence, and died in 1913, aged elglity-tvro. This letter, dated New York, 'April 14, 1789, mecuptee t t o Me?. LOT 'Of 410 paper, and was addreesed to Miss Green, afterwards his second wife. Thrum thus: tt,My dear Betsy,—Nevor did any one set down to write in a worse humour. A thousand things I have to say to you, and scarce a minute to say them in. My father is now impatiently waiting for me to assist him in an affair that cannot be postponed. Had I followed the dictates of my own inclinations, I should have passed last evening in pouring out my soul to you on paper, Instead of mur dering my time in a large mix'd company of both sexes, where, tho' the lieighth of good sense and politeness prevaird, they could not divert my thoughts front a certain little corner, in a certain little room, with all its long train of soft attendant ideas," &e. Mr. Waller properly describes It as au interesting love letter, in which business and love aro united. Only a lbw days ago we saw Rothermers noble picture of King Lear. Hero is a long letter from David Garrick, actor and author, to Franck Hayman, one of the first membeea of the Royal Academy of London, and eminent as a scene-painter at Drury-lane Theatre. It Is curious, as showing Garrick's idea of pic torially Illustrating Sliakspeare. it occupies four quarto pages, and is not dated. It com mences thus: "Dear Franck. elm Windham is now with me. We have had mush talk about you and your per formances, and both agree the soignee of the six 'ileum from Shakespeare will be excellent and nn advantageous one, -to.

Hero is a singular document from Sir Wal ter Scott, dated October, 1809, before lie had reached his fullest popularity, and addressed to John Ballantyne & Co., publishers in Edinburgh. It occupies two pages, 4to, and runs thus: a Gentlemen—Having a poem in manuscript called the Lady of the Lake, which, with notes, still make a 4to volume of about four hundred pages, I beg leave to offer you the copyright on the following terms." 011hred for £1,r500. " When n third edition goes to press (the two first not exceeding six thousand collies in all) an additional sum of live hundred pounds. Although these terms may appear high, you must be sensible I can have no difficulty in procuring them in Lon don. But I shall ho ;pelt better pleased if you think you can make such a purchase with a prospect of advantage," &c. Edinburgh, 28 Oct., 1809. his terms were accepted as fol lows : half to Ballantyne and Co., quarter to Longmans, quarter to W. Miller. The curious point is that Scott was himself the moneyed, though secret, partner of Bal lantyne's publishing house, to which he ad dressed this fennel business letft.r. The next which we shall C.llooSts, IS a letter from I?.r. Henjamia litthh, one of the signers, dated October, 1801, uritten to the Fail of 'Buchan, a Scottish nobleman, of sonic litera ry taste and 'remediable eccentricity. It is brief: -1 Permit 1110 to introduce to your Ldellip, Dr. Nathaniel Chapman, a former pupil of mine, and a graduate of the Mae. of Fennvivattia. He is a native of Virginia, and has been front his childhood, a near neigh hour of the late General Washington, etc. Ito is w ell acquainted with the details of the public lefties of our country." That strange, able, odd old man, Sir Eger ton Brydgeq, who claimed to be Lord Chan dos, of Sadeloy, and wasted a fortune in the vain endeavor to establish his right to that peerage, is represented in Mr. Waller's col lection, Front it letter, Si long pages folio, to his son, we take the following sensible re. marks ; tit have at last got and rend the article on Autobiography in Ed. R ev. if Is an article to foolish and - suicidal that it does net make toe wince at all! It come idiots itself at every turn. I will not say it utell do me no harm, because malignity always succeeds! But it 'wants common sonee, &c. Vanity never enjoys an easy moment, It is at the mercy of whoeVer desiree to mortify it ; and who does no desire to mortify another? It is too late after an acquaintance of 2,000 years to doubt about the nature and essence or Poetry. What Is just invention, and what is unjust 'and ex cessive ornament of language ought now to be considered Poetry, is an invented exemplifica tion of high truths I This is a short defini tion; but I believe It contains all that Poetry ought to be ! If the modern doctrines of po etical excellence are right, then Shakespeare himself is no poet," Ike. An article consisting of 850 pages 4to, closely written; half-bound into a volume, Is the manuscript, in the author's holograph, of William Godwin's story of « St. Leon," pub lished in 1799. It Is priced only three guineas —rather less limn sixteen dollars! Another and apparently valeable set of auto graphs, priced at eighteen guineas, is the literary correspondence addressed to the Rev. Samuel Henley, D. D., Professor of Moral Philosophy at Williamsburg College, Vir-1 ginia, and Principal of the East India Com pany's College at Hertford. This cones pondenco, contained in ono thick bulky 4to, stretches over a period from 1768 to 1818. Mr. Waller says « The singular talents of Dr. Henley, andthe literary eminence of many of his correspondents, merit an attentive analysis. Such not being here practicable, it must suffice to state that the letters in this volume amount to about Two HUNDRED AND THIRTY, and include many of con siderable length by the following persons : Dr. Aikiu, Sir Joseph Banks, Mrs. Bar. bauld, Dairies Bairington, Peter Beck. ford, and his son, William Beckford, Jacob Bryant (23),;9htqles Buttagja.Crimphell,, E.

Percy (4), Spencer Perceval (2), Dr. Priestley, Samuel ,Rogers, Granville Sharp (6), W. Sotheby (2), G. Steevens (2), Rev. M. Ty son (5), Rev. Stephen Weston (3), Dr. Jos. White (a). The Rev. John Henley was some time Professor of Moral Philosophy at the Col lege ofWilliamsburg, in Virginia, and was after wards one of the assistants at Harrow School, elected F. S. A., 1778; ho was presented to the Rectory .of Rendlesham in 1782, and in 1805 was appointed by the East India Compa ny Principal of their then newly established College at Hertford. This last named situa tion, for which his eminent talents as an ori entalist rendered him peculiarly Imitable, he resigned In 1815, and died on the 29th of De cember In the same year. There is a brief memoir of him In Nichols' Rlurtrations of Literature, vol. iii., p. 769; and prefixed to this volume of his correspondence are some particulars of him by the late Dawson Turner, Esq., and two indexes, one alphabetical and the other chronological, in neat, MS. This valuable collection of 230 Autograph Letters, was evidently much prized by the late Mr. Turner, the Seals of Bp. Bagot, Jacob Bry ant, Dairies Barrington, Mrs. Barbitukl, Major Cartwright, Wm. Gilpin, Bp. Howley, Cyril Jackson, and other celebrated authors who figured in this Interesting correspondence, are earefblly preserved, and pasted down within a folding flap, fitting in to oneqtldo of this volume." , Here we leave Mr. W 04 the fr the present.

GIMMOIN : You have kindly sent to me re, °lndy a copy of your circular of 25th ultimo, for which please accept my thanks. Having always advocated the policy that, in the management of the Philadelphia and Rending Railroad Company The intermit+ of Sehuylkill county tied the Interests of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad should be viewed as one and the same, I respect fully beg your permission to make a few remarks. You say, that it is well known that a fierce com petition has sprung up in the coal trade by the opening up of new regions and new avenues to market, which hen shortened distaneea and which his broken down the coat operators in Schuylkill county to an extent unparalleled in the history of the coal trade." Reel this etate of (biers been brought about by the want of proper feeilltiee to carry your coal to market., I could sea a great necessity for a now route. But with a canal of great eapncity, end a railroad unequelled in the world fer cheap transportation, why are your col liers broken down / With a canal and railroad already built, doing less than half that could be easily dono upon them, I ask why are you allowed to log in the race for increased coal tonnage? It is simply because of incompetent management in Philadelphia. - When thin flame compotitiqn began, In 1957, bad a competent man been at the head of the Phila delphia and Reading Railroad. and gone among you and said : Gentlemen, in leso, under my ion mediate predecessor, there was transported over the Philadelphia and Reading Italicised 2,093,e03 ton+ of coal. I deli t., to increase the coal tonnage over the road to 2.350,000 tone this year (1857,) and arrange for an average annual increase here after of not less than 8 per cent , which the increase of population justieet. You and we are menaced from other regions; let us consult together and see how to accomplish what we desire. Al much as the cool land owner, lateral railroad, and coed miner combined will agree to reduce prices per ton, so as to deliver coal cheap on the treading Railroad, just so much will I reduce tolls on the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, to put them on en equality—nay more than on an equality— with there menacing regions Ought not, would not. noeh a proposition have been met with a bete} , respouse, and would not Sohnyl k ill county have been to-day in the enjoyment of a ensl tonnage largely exceeding four millions of tone'? lionsur Iforvzx Wm.
