it would be a wonderfully largo amount, for a
volume of poems, a volume of essays, and four
volumes of history make the sum total of what
he has produced, as a writer. He made £6OO,
at the moat, by his ti Lays of AncleatlVrim
for his contributions to the Edinburgh Review,
i now collected into a single volume, ke may
have received £B,OOO more (which estimates
each at the utmost price over paid by that
publication); and he is said to have realized
'about £26,000 by the four volumes of his His
tory of England. All these sums make a total
which does not amount to £BO,OOO. How,
then, did be snake his money? And the ques
tion becomes more interesting from tho tact
that from his father his inheritance was small.
The secret is easily shown. Macaulay was
pi the public service of England for many years,
receiving largo emoluments, and his personal
expenditure was very small. ilia chief ex
pense was in books, on which ho probably
spent S 10,000.
Immediately after lie was called to the bar, in
1826 he was appointed Commissioner of Bank
ruptcy, with emoluments of about £4OO a year,
and this he retained until November, 1830,
when the Whigs, who then came into power,
made him Secretary of the Board of Control,
salary £1,500 per annum. This ho retained
for three years and to half, when be went to
India, as one of the Supreme Council of Cal
cutta, with a salary of £lO,OOO a year. Ho
held this post for three years and a half also.
He was Secretary of War from 1899 to 1841—
annual salary £2,480, and was Paymaster-
General of the Forces from 1846 to 1848—an
nual salary £2,000. Here, then, is a total of
£65,660 received by Macaulay from various
public offices, in addition to somewhat about
£BO,OOO realized by his pen. Out of this must
bo deducted the expenses of living—which
wore very small in his case, as he was a bache
lor, who gave few entertainments. On the
other hand, there would bo the interest of his
investments, constantly accumulating. Tlio
Income from his property was about £4,000
per annum, of which ho spent about one-half,
and out of that moiety, so inexpensive were his
habitat is said to have devoted at least £5OO a
year to charitable purposes—though his name
was not 'ostentatiously paraded in public sub
scription lists.
Reports were once circulated that Macaulay
freely indulged In the use of opium. He gave
a strong denial to these, declaring that ho had
never taken ten grains of opium in the whole
°fills life. He was extremely temperate in
the ueo of wine. Indeed, Macaulay cared lit.
tie for the enjoyments of the table or the gob
let. It is said tliqt Ito never had a female at
laChment. Ills life was pure. He was an
alreetionato brother, and delighted to spend
hours in playing with his little nephews and
nieces. Ho was a truly domestic man, and his
eervents had lived with him fur years.

"There are stories going the round to the effect
that Lord Macaulay's fild.3.lof the intended next
two volumes of his history aro illegible. The foci
is that the fifth volume is quite finished and right-
It abounds in interest, chiefly of the Queen Anns
period, cud of the contests respecting the nth--
loges of the Lords and Commons, with descriptions
of the inner life of the country never before pub
lished, or, indeed, discovered. Volume six is so
fir advanced as only to aced a little arrangement
from Lord Mecaulay'a great friend, Mr. Ellis. who
is left his literary executor. It wee to Mr. Ellis, at
Leeds, that the telegram was sent. Lady Trovelyan la

and in her hurry preparing to go out to Sir Charles,
at Madras, the precious M;419. and ether vain-Nes
are for the present deposited in Drummond's Bank

It was lately stated by a correspondent of
the New York Times, who evidently spoke
from actual knowledge (though he committed
the error of speaking of Maeaulay's brother-
In-law, Sir Charles Trovelyan, es Lord
Trovelyan,) that the fifth volume of the His
tory was completed some time ago, but that
Chevalier Bunsen drew Lord Macaulay's at
tention to the fact that there were numerous
papers in the public archives of Holland which
threw a light upon tho character of William
the Third, that Macaulay wont to Holland to
examine these documents, and that he was in
duced, by their contents, to make material
alterations in hie final summary of William's
character.
The last-published volume of the History
brings the narrative down to the Peace of
Ilyswick, at the close of 1697, when William of
Orange received a general European recog
nition as King of England. Ilk death took
place In little more than four years after,
(March, 1702) and the domestic occurrences
In England might easily have boon related in a
single volume. If so, Macaulay will have left
a complete history of the groat English Revo
lution of 1688, with the causes which pro
duced and the events which preceded and Im
mediately followed It. Even as they stand,
the four volumes already published complete
this History.
In 1823, while Macaulay was at Cambridge
University, he attracted the attention of Lord
Howick, the present Earl Grey. It appears
that Lord Howick spoke to lila father with the
highest praise of Macaulay, and that, through
this source, Lord Brougham was made ac
quainted with the great ability and vast promise
of the young Cantab. At that time, lie was
plain Henry Brougham, not having been raised
to the Chancellorship and Peerage for more
than seven years later. Brougham then wrote
R remarkable letter to Zachary Macaulay, his
old friend, in which he mentioned how favora
bly the son had been spoken of, to him, by
Lord Groy and others, and, taking for granted
that lie was going to the bar, tendered his ad
vice touching the methods ho should use to be
come a great lawyer, and, above all, a great
orator. He said:
"But what I wish to toculeate especially, with
a view to the groat talent for public speaking
whioh your eon happily possesses, la that ho
should cultivate that talent In the only way in
whieb Boon reach the height of the art. and I wish
to turn his attention to two point.. I speak on
this subject with the authority both of experience
and observation; I have made it very much my
study in theory; have written a good deal upon
it which may never soo the light, and something
which boa been published ; have meditated muck
and conversed much on it with fatuous men; have
had some little practical experience in it, but have
prepared for mush more than I over tried, by a
variety of laborious methods, reacting, 'writing,
much translation. composing in foreign language;
do., and I have lived in times when there were
great orators among us ; therefore I reckon my
opinion worth liatening to, and the rather, because
I have the utmost confidence in it myself, and
should have saved a world of trouble and much
time had I started with a conviction of its truth."
Brougham then proceeds to illustrate, by
his own course, how to become a great
speaker. Tho extract la long, but by far too
important to be mutilated by abridgment:

art Is to acquire n habit of easy speaking; and, In
whatever way this can be had (whiole individual
inclination or acoldent will generally diroot, and
may safely Ito allowed to do so), it must bo had.
Now, I diffor from all other tlootors of rhetorlo in

This is to eloquence, or good public speaking, what
the being able to talk in a child is to correct gram
matical speech. It is the requisite foundation, and
on it you must build. Moreover, It can only be
acquired young, therefore, let it by all means,
and at any saorifice, be gotten hold of forthwith.
But in acquiring it every sort of slovenly error
dill also be acquired. It must be got by a habit
of easy writing, (which, as 'Windham said, proved
hard reading) ; by a custom of talking much in
company ; by speaking In debating societies, with
little attention to rule, and mere love of saying
omothing at any Tate, than of saying anything
well. I can even suppose that more attention is
paid to the matter in such discussions than in the
manner of saying it; yet still to say Bossily ad li
bitum, to be able to say what you choose, and
what yon have to say,—this lathe first requisite, to
acquire which everything else must for the present
be sheriflood.
"The next step is the grand one—convert this
style of easy speaking into chaste eloquence. And
here there is but one rule. Ido earnestly entreat
your son to set daily and nightly before him the
Greek models. First of all he may look to the
best modern speeches (as he probably has already) ;
bke's best compositions, as the Thoughts on the
res of the present Discontents; speech 'On
the flAmerlean Conelitatton,l mad .' On the Nabob
of Areot's Debt.;',Fox!si 4 tipipaoh n oo t¢a Westm • •
star &mane • (the Pei put Of athleh ita Amp •
pore over until be has It by heart); 0a the Rus
sian Armament ;' and On the War,' 1803, with
one or two of Windham's best, and vary few; or
rather none, of Bherldan'i t-tmt befmnat by no
meant stop here. If he would be a great .orator,
he must go at once to the fountain Lead, and be
familiar With every one of the great orations of
Demosthenes. I take for granted that he knows
those of Mao by heart ; they are very beautiful,
but not very useful; exempt perhaps, the Milo,
pro Ligario, and ono or two more ; but the Greek
must positively be the model ; andmerely reading
it, as boys do, to know the language, won't do
at all; ho must enter into the spirit of each
speech, thoroughly know the position of the
parties, follow each turn of the argument,
and make the absolutely perfect and most chute
and severe composition familiar to his mind. His
taste will improve every time he reads and repeats
to himself (for he should have the fine passages by
heart), and be will learn how much may be done
by a skilful use of a few words and a rigorous re
jection of all superfluities. In this view I hold a
familiar knowledge of Dante to be next to Demos
thenes. It is in vain to say that imitations ef these
models won't do for our times. First, I do net
counsel any imitation, but only an imbibing of the
same spirit. Secondly, I know from experience
that nothing is half so successful in these times
(bad though they be) as what has been formed on
the Greek models. I use a very poor Instance in
eying my own experienoe, but I do assure you that
both In courts of law and Parliament, and even to
mobs, I have never made so much play (to use a
very modern phrase) as when I was almost trans
lating from the Greek. I composed the perm
don of my speech for the Queen. in the Lords,
after reading and repeating Demosthenes for three
or four weeks, and 1 composed it twenty time over
at least, aul it certainly succeeded in a very extra
ordinary degree, and far above any merit of its
own. This leads um to remark, that though speak
ing. with writing beforehand, is very well until the
habit deftly 'peed% Is acquired, yet after that he
can never write tao much ; this is quite clear. It
is laborious, no doubt, and It Is more Moult be
yond comparison than speaking off-hand ; but it is
necessary to perfect oratory, and at any rate it Is
necesaary to reviles the habit of correct (Hatton.
But I go further, and may, even to the end of a
man's life be must prepare word for word most of
his finer passages. Now, would he be a greatorator
or no? In other words, would be have almost ab
solute power of doing good to mankind, in a free
country, or no ? So lie wills this, he must follow
these rules."
• The that that the famous peroration to
Brougham's oration in defence of Queen
Caroline, in 1821, had been composed over
twenty times at least, points out the moral of
Brougham's advice—that whatever is worth
doing at all is worth doing well, and that
nothing great can be accomplished, by speech
or pen, without great previous study, which,
in fact, is of itself very serious preparation.
Lord Brougham's elaborate advice to Ma
caulay, contrasted with the general character
of Lord Brougham's oratory, shows how
man's precept may differ from his practice.
Lord Brougham always spoke with a full mind,
sad therefore was never unprepared, but some
of his best speeches could not have been pre
pared, from the suddenness of the occasion
'which produced them, and these have electri
fied his auditors. To speak like a book, as
Edward Everett or Wendell Phillips does, is a
lent of high intellectual culture and art—but,
though It may be oratory, who will call It
eloquence? The fault of Macaulay, as a
speak, ,-aa dug nu would deliver an Edin
burgh Review article, upon his legs. It daz
zled, it delighted, it astonished—but did it
make any one among his hearers change his
opinion and vote accordingly Macaulay
made brilliant oratorical displays, but mere
oratory is not Eloquence, no more than the
fizz and sparkles of a Catharine-wheel consti
tute a flame.
Letter from e , Ezek Richards: ,
[Correspondence of The Presea
Wasiftvarox, February 6, 11330.
We had quite a lively scene this morning. The
rules wore suspended to bring up the Poet Office
appropriation bill; and the attempt of John S.
Phelps to tack on an amendment or two led to
considerable discussion. Messrs. John Cochrane,
George S. Houston, and others, who act with Mr,
Phelps, did nut all harmonize wilt his movement,
and made several ineffectual inroads on the propo
sition of the gentleman frem Missouri. Ile would
not yield the floor, and his confreres indignantly
characterized his action as a kind of coup &Pat,
tending to shut up without appeal, and in a most
despotic manner, a minority of the Houle. Mr.
Horace Maynard had an amendment which he
thought would suit Mr. Phelps, but not so the Mix
saurian, who became tough by opposition, and
more than over determined to hold his ground.
Messrs. Grow and Covode had their hands in, the
latter making some sensible remarks on the idea
of prevention being better than cure. For in.
stance, he was in favor of making legislation on
the appropriation bill complete and final now—
that the section covering interest should embrace
all claims ; so thlit the creditors would not be af•
forded aoy chance of coming hack for damages.
If this chance were allowed, damages would be run
up to a couple of millions, He desired to prevent
all such speculations.
Houston and Phelps got Into quite a snarl, the
former arguing, or, rather, striving to be heard at
the Mine time with the gentleman from sltasouri—
that the proposed amendment omitted one class of
creditors. In vain Mr. Phelps assured Alabama
that the change was only in the phraseology, and
not in the sense. For the words " salaries of o0l•
care and olorks" were substituted the words" sale.
ries of postmasters and the clerks employed in
their offices." Houston persieted that some credi
tors were omitted, and Coo"rane came to his aid
with an amendment Illustrating the point. He
proposed to mkt among the persons to be paid
those furnishing " mail bags, locks, paper, do."
By some legislative mancouvro, Coehrane's propo•
silica, like Miss Bogart's " losyer," came too late.
During the discussion, the Speaker ruled Mr.
Houston out of order. The latter appealed from
the decision, but the appeal was laid on the table,
by 135 yeas, to 59 nays. The bill was passed with
out any material alterations, the word eompensa•
non having been substituted for salary. The
whole appropflation Is betweem eight and ten mil
lions.
The postmastershipof the Luse attracts interest,
and the late very obliging and efficient incumbent,
M. W. Cluskoy, has a host of friends who wish for
his 111100e118, if in the nature of things It can be ex
pected. Mr. Lucas, the Republican nominee, is a
small, round•faced, and gray-haired gentleman of
about half a century of summers. He was formerly
a Whig editor in Morgan, central Illinois. Ile
was appointed to a clerkship in the Land Office by
President Taylor, and remained In during the
Fillmore and Pierce Administrations. More than
a year ago be fell under the ban of the Buchanan
Cabinet in having been the supposed author of a
letter In The Stages with Douglas proclivities.
Since then he has become a Republican, and is
said to boa bosom friend of Abraham Lincoln, of
Illinois, who—Seuator Douglas clatmd—bas a prior
claim than Seward to the exprersien of the " im
pressible conflict" doctrines, having made a speech
embodying them some four months previous to the
Rochester speech of the Senator from New York.
Lucas' nomination Was the canoe of very serious
disturbance in caucus. After a bitter tight, he was
taken up in preference to Governor Ford, of Ohio,
by two voted.

Republicans, 13 in somewhat the same category as

Illustrated as signally the harmonious union of
these two attainments; but It was his rare merit

secular interests, should so thoroughly fuse to

to present the twofold ureset of a Christian with

out a taint of duplicity or worldliness.
Judge Joel Jones was a native of Coventry. In
the State of Connecticut. Dasoended of Puritan
ancestry, and religiously trained by a mother who
was of the same godly race, he exemplified the in
heritance of natural virtue and the covenant mer
cy which is from generation to generation. At an
early age, impelled by that love of learning which
became the muter passion of his life, he resolute
ly braved the adieus fortune in the way of his
education. and entered upon the collegiate oeuvre
at Yale with no other resources than his own labors
as a teaoher of youth in theintervale of !study.
To the Degetlateei and struggles of this period,
well as to original disposition, he no doubt
pwed the formation of those habits of
Ting industry, perseverance, and system, which
eharteeterised his whole subsequent career, and
were the foundation of his success and use.

end at but one remove from the highest honors of
his class. His legal studies were pursued under
eminent teachers at New Haven and Litchfield.
(in their completion, he removed to this State,
and commenced practice at Easton. Here ho rose
rapidly in his profession, acquiring a reputation
for learning and ability, declining several nroffers
of judicial position, and, at length, &venting that
which brought him to our city, and ultimately
tablished him as President Judge of one of its
courts. Prom thin post he was called to the
Presidency of Girard College, and daring the brief
term of his incumbency, impressed upon that In.
stitution, then in Its formation, a marked and salu
tary Influence. On resigning this position. he was
elected Mayor of the city, from which olßee he re•
tire I to active private life, and had been engaged
with all his early real in his professional labors,
thuroh duties, and favorite studies, until a recent
period, when it became sadly evident that his
physical system, so long overtaxed by inoessant
mental apnlioation, was beginning to yield to fatal
Ouse. Having reluctantly abated his labors and
submitted to the necessary retirement and quiet of
en invalid, after a severe and painful illness he at
length passed away from the bosom of hie family
circle and friends, while in the full possession of
his faculties and with an anured hope of glory.
As a public, man, Judge Jones has left a reputa
tion of almost singular value. lie was, doubtless,
too much of a scholar and too little !notified by his
retiring habits, his religions tastes and principles,
In adopt congenially much of the routine which has
become essential to a successful politician. Yet,
be never held an office or discharged a trust in
which he was found wanting In any of the moral
qualifications of probity, discretion, and true solici
tude for the public welfare: affil If his political
friends and adversaries alike found it impossible to
draw him into some of the current arts of partisan
ship, he certainly did not forfeit their respect by
his strict adherence to duty, right, and principle.
As a jurist, his peculiar excellent** is too much a
matter of professional appreotation, and too wall
known to many in this audience, to admit or need
a place in our present reflections. His pupils and
associates have already hastened to bear testimo
ny to his uniform omelet courtesy and propriety,
to his accurate habits of thought and exprenion,
to his severe discrimination, to his sound practical
lodgment, to the value of his judicial decisions. his
legal consultations and opinions and to his tho
rough mastery of the whole philosophy, literature,
and practice ofinrisprodence.
As a church deur, he has left vacancies lament
ed alike for the personal intercourse and judicious
counsel which they terminate. In the various' note
slastical boards, of which he was an satins and pone
tual member, hisliterary and legal opinions, always
freely bestowed, were hrnaloakdo. In the *berth
of which for several years past he was a ruling el
der, hie characteristics were fidelity, humility, eon
ssientionsness, an edifying fervor and unction, and
• blameless and holy life. The prayer circle found
him always at Isle post, and while leading Its devo
tions, with hie rich Soriptural phrenology, drawn
from a heart imbued with the mind of the spirit,
and alike removed from the language of literature
or of conversation, the scholar and the lawyer for
the time so wholly disappeared in the humble
Christian, that the lowliest listener found himself
in sympathy. We shall long miss his families pre
sence from this scene of worship, whither be came
with such regularity, and at each returning com
munion so devoutly ministered at the table of his

But it was as a trained and ripe scholar that he

tracing their development. all the accemories which
history and learning could supply. This was to
