The constant demand for the high-priced Reggie), edi
tion of this standard book has induced us to issue it at rt.
low figure, in the very beet style. The Memoir is as
delightful and witty as that of Sydney Smith, and must
excite the came attention. It contains anecdotes of
Theodore Hook, Tom Hood , Sydney Smith, Canning,
i3oorge IV, and other celebrated. thunders. Any criti
cise/ would he supetiluoue of the poems whose wit and
originality baroattraoted such widely-extended notice.
Some were interesting on account of the notoriety of
their subject or their bearing on the romin of the day
hut all ere animated with it spirit of fun, and an pa-
Ragging humor; tent roust accure iinbotinded popularity.
The author's distinguishing trait is his unrtvalleil power
in rhythm, Ind the flow end fertility of his versiGoattoto
Ilia entire is always well direoted, and occasionally a
tew touches display in dillerent and higher order of poetto
Power, standing out in contrast with the ludicrous ima
gery that aurrounds them.. The memoir gives an
amusing sketch of his 'intimitoy with Theodora Hook,
and some anecdotes of living pergola ate added to the

A. {"o►nan's Art-Criticism.
A great deal has 'been written in our jou'r
nals, during the last fortnight, on that very
.suggestive painting, now on exhibition hero,
Mr. PAOu's Venus. The opinions Upon its
merit as a picture, we mean the eicoution as
well as the de%ign, have been as cordliMing as
those upon the mooted point—whether its
nudity should prevent its being gazed,at by
the public.. There is a true and a false- side to
everything, hot excluding the feeling called
Delicacy, and we• behave that it is false deli
cad),..
which takes great pains to suggest ideas

into people's minds. There avictures
clraPecl film the neck to the in' which,
noierthedess, are mere objectioneb,,—because
Moro:sensuous, if not actually merle-sensual—
than teeny a nude statue or molar& at which
over-delicate folks affectedly titre : Up their
proper. noses. For our own part, WO do not
ace anything improper in Mr. PAGE'S remarka
bly line Venus, which is ono of the finest
paißlings in the Titianesque manner, since the
death of mighty 'fmreso 'irECELT.E
nearly three centuries ago . . We have been
anxious to know what the women thought of
it, and the following plain-spoken, and rather
, t spicy" communication, from one of these
crinolined'beings, which reached no Pet as we
were wopdering what we should write about
to-day, appears worthy of being placed before
the public, as an utterance of feminine thought
about art in general, and Mr. PAGE'S Venus
(on the half-shell)-in particular: .
Mu: EDITOR : Two things--first, I am a woman;
second, to the unspeakable horror of my friends, I
have opinions. I want to give you some of my opts
lOW about the " Venus." A. man's view of such a
subject is .worse , than useless.. It is impertinent.
What do men know of us? Talk ,as learnedly
ns they will of pigments and colors,• and blend
ing and foreshortening, ohiaresouro and tons—
whatever that rucant—thoy know nothingi nor ever .
will, of the rare golden mysteries that lie between
the woman nature and their own. It is just the
difference between the electric forces and the more
physical ones. And you know that the first bas
never been analyzed yet, although It has been
utilized and lectured upon. -
I went to Sea Mr. Page's picture alone, ono
stormy morning, thinking that if, by chance, I
found Aphrodite alone, I could woo hor from the
canvas, and talk with her of the dead golden ages
wherein sho was a Queen. For lam something of
a unigiolatt Myself—although you mightn't think it,"
to tamale, I have talked eoross.thc great shadowy
thane with &noble., and dreamed that I hold the
dagger tit the throat of Aurelian, who °Lathed her
to hiS chariot wheels. Cleopatrti limb many a
time played with my black ringlets, and whispered
in my ear.arrowy tropes of love, and ambition, and
tragedy. They know me, these - queens of the .
Past, when the world was worthy of queens, and
I fancied the wild Illyrian language which
reight have, whispered in the car of Aphrodite
would hav e given her life, and breught book her
,sceptred days.
But, there wore a dozen or more coarse, material
sr - imbibes there, standing in the soft twilight, making
blunt irregular telescopic tubas of their clumsy
hands, shaking their heads wisely, and talking
good dual of tocetioeivabie nonsense after the man
ner of fools. -'Why, Mr. Editer,,won't people be
silent when they stand in the presence of the sett,
spiritual mysteries of Art?. Why will they net
uuderetwi that beauty Is not a conerction, but u
living, palpitating Idea, that may bin whisked away
by a breath, es see the birds of heaven; Slut they
don't. Tony never seem to understand anYthiniies•

well, at any rate.) they must talk, 'ilitiTrrelY,
Crashing voices, and with - their blear orig.
eisess, and detestable censure, and more detestable
praise. As if Aphrodite, the love, the idol, the
dear divinity, whose beauty Aloibiades adored, and
to worship which Petioles furget Aspasia anti um-
Litton, oared for their cheap, flimsy admiration.
.t 'haven't any patienenswith men at all. The last
gentleman died with Sir Philip Sidney, and' the
torah of chivalry has burned blue ever since. I
keep his portrait in that quaint Elizabethan dress,

PERSONAS. AND POLITICAL.
A CENTRE Sttor.—llinelino, in his lest Harris
burg 5e11137161, makes a groat bit es follows :
Connva. Buctwas.-.--Our readers will remain
her that one year,ugo, in his message to Congress,
Mr. Buchanan recommended the imposition of ape.
oifio duties on all " commodities which are usually .
sold by weight or by measure, and which from
their nature are of equal or of nearly equal value.
Such as iron of different . clams, raw sugar, and
foreign wines and spirits," and it will also be re-'
membered that Secretary Cobb; in an elaborate
argument, undertook the somewhat ungracious
task of proving the fallacy' of Mr. Buchanan's re
commendation in this respeot. In his recent mes
'sage, the President uses the following.langnego
- -
"Should such n defieioney occur ne 1. apprehend, , 1
would recommend that the neceesary revenue be raiedd
by an increase of our present duties on imports. laced
not caveat the opinions oxereseed in my last 411111.181
melange as to the best mode andinanner of eccompiish
inn this object, and shall now merely observe that thous
have undergone no change."
So much for the President. Now for the Seen
tary:
"If tolditinnal demands f si!..ya Mr. Cobb in his Mat re
port! are created upon the Troasury by the
of the present Congress, provision must be matte to
meet them by such me tease of tura duties as :may be .
required lig that purpose, In such en event I would re
spectfully refer Congress to toy lest report as contain
ing the views of the department on the subject,"
Thus does a Pennsylvania President fled himself
snubbed, before the Representatives of the people,
by a Georgia Secretary, and that, toe, upon the
most vital !limit-ion to the people of his native State.
Comment is unneeessary.

who has read it. When asked his opinion of it, ho
remarked that the only impression it made upon

nomination. lie said he hadmover believed it be

now there is no want of delicacy in - alluding to the
foot that the early object of Irving's love died
during their betrothal. We have beard the lest

and to the sacred sorrow thus engendered is to be
ascribed much that is touching and true in the son.

sensibility which kept his heart fresh to the last;
and, above all,- that respect for, and sympathy

which he so uniformly cherished and manifested in
letters end in lift.

mined upon by the Demeeratie mittens for printer

The position of Printer to the Seriateis said to be

is expreised what

of filets will probably explain the matter:
For twenty years previous to Mr. Boohenan'a
nomination by the Cincinnati Convention, it is well
known that' his name bad been Presented by the
Democraoy of Pennsylvania;' and in no 'county in
the State had he more devoted and consistent ad
mirers than in Bedford. There they were all of
one mind—they were all Buchanan men—and at a
time, too, when "thrift" did not "follow fawning ."
In those perilous days when the hearts of the 4:
hermits of the favorite eon of Pennsylvania were
often tried by the jeers of our opponents , Who de
dared ho hailnot adrop of DeMooratio blood in his

General George Washington _Bowman' WS At

did ho do? Of course hp was a fast friend of the

Genet Convention of 1848, to the great mortified-
Con of nearly every Democrat in Bedford county,
and the surprise of all; outside of this coonty,lie
hoisted the name of George UMW Wins as ble
first choice for President. I have a file of the Bed-;
ford Gazette before me, and quote from the leading
editorial of December 3, 1847:.
" In res Ponding to this duty (that of nominating
a candidate for Presidentl - we have no hesitation
in saying that we unhesitatingly prefer the nomi
nation of that pure, uniform,.,, and inoorruptiblo
Doniocrat, George M. Dallas, to that of an; °their
man, and, consequently, wo have plated his name
at the head of our paper, as indicative of our pre
ference. We do this the more readily from the
belief that we are obeying the wishes of the party
in Bedford county,". ece., to.
This leader is beaded, "For President, in 1848,

decision of the National Convention," and preceded
by that bird of victory, the American eagle, whieli
appears for once to have talon the place of that
inevitable rooster, the'. favorite argument of Gen.
Botiman. In the mine 'number are three . other
articles showing the groat popularity of Mr. Dallis
everywhere; but the name of the present occispirit
of the White Rouse-is never even suggested as `,ll
candidate. Alore than this: For-several subse

Dallas was to be preferred "becaose his Derimel

that although he will not permit ,any latitude oc

'his enemies' for all they may, have said or done

In- conelesion, let me Bay that the file of the!

[From the Dittetninr Journal, December .
A young man, known as Datch.Fred, agedll6Velt,
teen, committed misfile, 'near 'Mulierasport, a fort
'days since; by shooting himself through the bead,
with a pistol. Fred baa been residing in MolKeeit
port for the last three years, and has been in the
employ of William Shawn '
steam ereektir-baker.
On Saturday last he met with an accident, by
having the thumb and fore-Anger of the. right
hand out oil in the machinery. Shortly - after
the accident. he disappeared, and was not found
until 'Thursday, when he was disoovered,lying
dead in a oave, about one mile above hio.Kees
ort. It appears ke , bid taken with him to the
spot where he was found-'a pistol, powder, and
lead, which were found near the body. Several
slugs made from the lead, charges Of powder, and
percussion caps were found 'placed carefully apart,
reedy for reloading the: plated' in ease of failure on
the first attempt. When &wad; it would :seem
that the inicido first pulled Via hat over big eyes,
then placed the pistol against the hat and fired.
The charge entered at the left temporal bone, end
tore up the front part of the skull, .whioh was
thrown back and exposed tbe brain. The cause
forthe rash.aot Is supposed to bo monomania., as
he was constantly quoting certain pages from the
Bible relative to maimed persons being esoluded
from the pretends! of God. Fred, who was a well
educated. Gorman, and of a meditative 'turn of
mind, had only one relative in this country, •
brother.

The value of the censorship of the prmS, so tom

Petersburg, which says " Thera is a good story
going the rounds of the pity of one ,of the official
critics, who struck out of a manual of ohemistry—
by the way, the first book of the' kind printed in
Russis=the name of:l'l'l2'Bde' void, dlegtng as his

their warbling--the voice of the laborer is no
