Leslie, the FuintcriS' '
PliilaJelplili Ims every riglit to claluiLealio,
llio Paintop, os a son. His paronts wore Ame
rican. Hia father, the fViohd o( Franklin and
Latrbbo, settled in ;busii(o3S, in Philadelphia,
as a clock and watchmaker, in 1786, and ivas
a man of extraordinary ingenuity in mechanics.
Ho removed to London in 1793, and theroyin
October, 178 i, Ghnvlea Robert, the eldest sen,
was born. In 3800, tho family returned to
Philadelphia, where young Lesiio received an
ordinary solid education. At tho ago of ton
ho lost hia father, mid his mother, .Jeff almost,
unprovided for, opened a boarding-house.
From hia infancy, Leslie had tho desiro to bo
a Paint'or, but his mother had no means of
giving him a painter’s ednention, and appren
ticed him to Bradford &Juskeep, booksellera
in Philadelphia: Tho senior partner dis
couraged hia essays in Art, until tho hid paint
ed o, portrait of Gcotgo Frederick Coeko, thu
actor, whom ho had seen frequently on thb
stage, and mot onco at a dinner at tho llsh-houso
on tho Schuylkill, which sketch was so vo.
markably like that when it waa carried to tho
Exchange' Cotlco House, at the hour when.ft
was most frequented, (’io attempt was thought
most surprising for a boy, and in a few days
iiia fame was spread among tho wealthiest men
in tho oity. Mr. Bradford, 'ids master, then
saw that tho lad was inionded to bo an artist,-
and found no difllcnlty in raising a fund by
subscription, to which lio contributed liberally
himself, auflicient to enable him to study,
painting tiro years in Europe.
Up to thiutimo, young Leslio had scourm
pictures except those in Peaio'a Museum, to
which ho had freo access, through tho pro
priotor’s intimacy with hia father, and those
in tho show-room of Mr. Sniiy, <*tbo beat,
painter in Philadelphia.” In hia autobiogra
phy, Leslie also acknowledges that tho win
dows of tho print shops were also so many
academies to him, and, ho'odds, « often de
tained me so long .when I was sent on errands,
that I was obliged, on leaving them, to run as
fast aa possible to make up tor lost time.”
Tho Hr. Sully to whoso pictures Leslio hud
.access, is the artist, now in tho fullness of hia
honorable and venerable years, and (hen in tho
zenith of hie tamo, who yet remains among
us, working at his case!, at an ago many years
morci than that mentioned hy the Psalmist as
tho natural limit of human existence; with the
delicacy and l'orco of hia earlier execution.
Half a century ago, ns at this hour, Thomas
Sully was kind nud liberal in his treatment of
rising ability, and therefore his friends will
recognise him, at once, in tho following.pass
age from Leslie’s Autobiography«Be/ore I
left Philadelphia, Mr. Sully, with whom I had
become acquainted, gave mo tho first le’sshn I
rccoivcdin oil-painting. Ho began a copy in
mypreaenco, and then put his paletto and
brushes into my hand, tolling mo to proceed
in tho samo way with a c<%’ of my own. Tho
noxt day ho carried hia work further, and I
sgaln followed him, and bo on, until tho copies
were both finished s thus explaining to mo at
onco the processes of scumbling, glazing,
Ac.” We may anticipate a little, end add that,
in London, soon utter, Benjamin West, then
President of the Royal Academy, took equal
pains with the youth. Thus, the two instruct
ors o l Leslie, bya fortunate coincidence, were
Sully end West—both Philadelphians.
Leslio arrived in England in December,
1811, being then seventeen years old. In
London ho mado tho intimate acquaintance of
Allsfon and of Morse, (who had not then
dreamed of tho Electric Telegraph,) and pur
sued bis studies, iu thoir society, with the
earnestness and industry which so Materially,
develop Genius. He was admitted &' student
Of tho Royal Academy—an excellent school
of art—and successfully competed iQrtwo of
tho silver medals giyon as therowssrd of fir-'
thtica! merit. Following tho oxamplo oi
West, ha first struck. lleh At
ls miscalled,) and painted a few historical
pictures—such as San’, and tho Witch of
Endor—taking portraits “to make the pot
boil,” but soon discovered that his strength
lay in more familiar subjects and upon a smaller
scale.
TUe , 'lli’sl of tlicso wliicli obtained notico was
“Sir Roger Jo Coverloy going to CburcU,” ox
bibited In 1819. Two years lotor appeared Ms
« May Day in tho Time of Quoon Ellzaboth,”
nhioh procured tiis election as Associate of
the Royal Academy, before ho wa3 27 yoars
old. In 182 G, ho was elected. R. A., tho
highest distinction which a paintor can re
ceive in England. In 1833, Loslio was Pro
fessor of Drawing, jbr a few mouths ouiy, at
tho Military Academy ol'Wost Point—the
state of his wife’s health aud various discom
forts in his situation impollcd him to return
to England. In 1847, ha was elected Pro
lessor of Painting at the Royal Academy, and
his Lectures, which wore sensible and prac-
tical, : were recast into “A Handbook lor
Young Painters.” His only other literary
work wasalifoof Ida friond John Constable,
tho landscape painter, which is wrltton in a
most unaDectcd, pleasiDg, and instructive
manner. Ho died, May 5, 1859, in htu 66th
year.
The paintings which hnvo made Leslie’s re
putation have chiefly illustrated the genial hu
morists of English literature—AddisoD, Gold
smith, Fielding, Shakspearo, Sterne, Popo,
aud Smoliet, ond it is worth notice tbathaving
choflon incidents suggested rather than de
scribed by them, he was able to oxorcise his
own qnlet humor anil creative imagination.
“Don Quixote” was a treasury upon which ho
drew many subjects—and no painter has so
thoroughly realized the idoa of Immortal San
cho Panza. His Scriptural pieces are few,.
His portraits were good, hut not brilliant j
yet, of the thousand and one Court pictures,
representing various incidents iu the llfo of
Queen Victoria, tho best is that, by Leslie, of
her "receiving the Sacrament after tho Corona
tion, Juno, 1888. It contains numerous por
traits, well grouped, all of them excellent liko
nesses.
Mr. Tom Taylor, an English man of letters,
author of numerous plays “ adapted” Rom tho
French, and of “Onr American Cousin,”
(which ho fortunately sold Iwicc—oiieo to the
late Mr. Siisbee, and then to Miss. Laura
Keene,) appears no Editor of Leslie’s Autobi-
ography and Correspondence. Ho had pre
viously dono tho same for poor Hnydon, aud
produced a painfully interesting book. The
prosent is much better. It opens with Mr.;
Taylor’s Introduction, in which he treats, ra
thor cx-calhtdra, of Leslio’s Pictures and of
his Characteristics ao an Attlat,(wlion ho apeaks
of Bnssano »3 Bassau, wo. wonder that he did
not also abridge Da Viuci into Da Vine,) ;
next ioilow Leslie’s own Autobiographical
Recollections, occupying 170 pages, and ex
tending down to aperiodjustbeforohisdenth;
and the conclusion contains extracts from Les
lie’s Correspondence, given in annual succes
sion, and strung, very neatly, upon a slight
editorial thread of connecting narrative,
winding up with an Appendix of tho list
of pictures painted, and of all tho pictures
exhibited, by Leslio. Tho book, lot tho pub-
lic believe na, is one of tho most readable bio
graphies published for years. It is the life of
an able, amiable artist, who had troops of
iriends, and deserved tho honors he won. Tho
numerous letters from Washington Irving, in
tho correspondence here, aro full of interest,

ble )md tho painter’s namo been given, and
had Leslie’s fhc-aimtlo bcon added, a great
drawback on the value of this book is that it

Ono word about tho copyright question and
this volume: Ticknor k fields give' Mr. Les
lie’s family a pecuniary interest in tho sale of!
this American roprint, and yet sell the volume
for $1.25. It is handsomely got up, and
equal, in all respects, to tho English edition,
2 vols., Bvo, which soils in London for $4.50,
and could not bo imported and sold hero, uj
tho lowest, for less than $5. lYero thoro an
International copyright, is it probable that
tho American edition would bo sold lor $1.25 ?

must be increased seventy-two millions in or- i 1
dor to derive tbo required sixty millions of
customs, what will bo the deficit in our export
account exclusive of specio !
Mr. Com* leaves us the choico between a
heavy incrcaso of our foreign debt to make up
tho required amount of foreign imports, and a
large increase of our treasury debt it the cus
toms shall tail to meel his estimates.
Our calculations, it will bo observed, have
been made upon tho estimates furnished by
Mr. last annual roport. Hut while wo
urc-witing, tho nows from IVashington informs
us that the & ecvetary haß lately revised his es
timates, ami that tho current year’s expendi
ture will require soventy-two millions, instead
of sixty, of last December’* statement. Must
we’bavo'tho JOOmiiiions of imports increased
to 4b& millious, or 78 millions above those of
lust year, to provido tho necessary rovenues ?
Or is bis system of finauco a mere policy of
receipts und disbursements, with constantly
growing funded debt, and tveasury-noto bor
rowings from tbo future, for its principal items
of increase ?
lie bus expended a surplus iu tbo Treasury
on tho Ist July, 1857, of seventeen uud tbreo
quarter millions; a permanent loan of twenty
millions j a temporary Urnu of twenty millions
in treasury notes outstanding, aud has reduced
tho public debt subsisting nt tho lima ho took
office, a little less than four millions. These
items leave Ins account current with a balance
agaiust him of (ifty-thrcu less what
ever sum there may bo unappropriated iu tho
Tvciumvy- -say four or fivo millions. Forty
nine millions of a deficit iu tho account of
ordinary receipts and expenditures of tho
Government in three years aud a quarter!
.To which it is now perfectly clear, twenty
millions more must be added for the unexpived
nine months of bis administration} for this
additional deficit is demonstrable from tbo
data of bis recent revision of bis estimates for
tbo current year.
A sixty-million debt piled up in four years
under the tariff of 1857 even outstrips that
whicii grew out of tbo Compromise act, whoso
level twenty per cent, duties did something
better for tho Treasury than the arevago nine
teen per cent, duties of 1857 with its greatly
enlarged free list, aud tho naturally increased
expenditures of tho Federal Government, to
say nothing of its corruptions and extrava
gauco under the present Administration.
Will tho couutTy beav this onothor year ?
Wlil Congrc33givo another year’s leaseto this
atrocious system ?
As certainly as 1842 reversed the policy of
2833, ao surely will 1860 or IBGI consign tho
tariff of 1857, Secretary Conn, and freo trade
to political perdition.
"Wo here close our iormal examination of
tho protective policy of tho nation, aud the
history of our tariffs since tho organization of
tho Federal Government. Tho cubject has
grown upon us in the process of its troafmeut.

Waving fields of grain, luxuriant orchards, and
rich green meadows fly past t! l0 train in rapid and
variegated succession, presenting to the viotv a
oontinnous panorama of rolling farms, nndniaUng
lawns, Irrigated with gentle stream, and dotted, ot
intervals, with clumps of primeval woodland.'
Since tho construction ofthi? road, extensive
building improvements have been made at Tsriotu
points along the lino. Of these, the mo3t promi
nent are at (inskortown, Sellersville, Lan3dole,
and North IVales. A Rhort distance north of the
first of these stations, tho road crosses the narrow
rooky bolt of bowlder formation, which, in varied
expanse, extends from tho Now Eoglond coast, in
a southwesterly direction to the Mississippi river.
At this point tho drift is abont three miles in
width, and tho country it traverses is similar in
soil and character to that which marks its entire
course, not only iu this, but every ether State
through which it passes. Tho road has two ton
nols, t'io longest of which, in Bucks, i? 2,150 feat
in length. Hear the line of Buoks and Lehigh, at'
tho Coopersburg stetioD, n'a enter what, from tea

Tho town of Bethlehem is ono of tb® mojfc
pleasantly situated and tmtoiioaJly Interesting
in Pennsylvania. Its topographic
dissimilar to tha Scripture town la
lt was named by its pious Mo* .
mlan founders,' ono hundred and twenty years
agi-. It is ritusted on tbo brow of a hill, affording
a fino view of- tho surrounding country, checkered
with roads,' steep htlJstdfts. rivulet?, and sunny
vales. The town unuiburs about three thousand
inhabitant.?, all of whom, that I have scon, soern to
or,joy health and competency. From’its original
settlement, until within the present decade, Beth-'
lohom wna au exclusively Moravian community,
members of no oilier denomination being permit
ted to bold properly within it? ibcorpcratßd
ilmiU. Sinco Ibia: restriction h&3 been to*
by the Legislature, a number of
persona of other religious peTtmarions, who before
osoupied property on IsocO.hflTQ possessors
by purchase,- so that gradually, white the town still
retains tbo marks of its primitive oharaeter, they
ar«, nevertheless, gradually giving placo to tha iu*
novation* and customs of other scow, find it 1? no
difficult to foxeseo that, like tho Seventh-day Bap
tis<3 at Kphrata, Lancaster county, and other. imi*
societies, tfa& ifOJA-'
vuus at Bethlehem will, cio Ipng.dukvo - merged.*
tboir identity in thq groat aMUUom of tho ilTtog
wots which aro gradujly but surely approximating
nQ&ror a universal standard-from ycsVtoycar. At
the project time it numbers two Moravian church.*
es, ono Qaruiun, and ouo Kngliah, two Mo'.hodist,
one Lutheran usd Garmanßoformcdcombiuod, and
ono Catholic.
In many respects, liothtebem ha-J bean a boacoa
light to tbo rest ot our Commonwealth. Tho edu
cational interest early inaugurated her©, &nd kopt
np e/or since, is worthy of the widest emulation.
I doubt if iboro is another town of equal size in tbo
Union whore tho aamo amount of educational faci
lities exist, a? at thi3 quaint old town ou the bank*
of tho Lehigh. Threa schcola ore kept ia opera
tion nearly tuo year round, usually numbering an
aggregate of from eight to nine hundred scholars.
Those aro about equally divided between the
Seminary for Young Ladies—in whtoh many
of the most accomplished ladiw of our laud,
and the wives of some of our most distin
guished men, huvo boeii educated; tho Parochial
School, endowed by tbo Moravian churoboa hor®,
In whlok tbo charge? tor tuition are merely
nominal, and tho Free School of tbo borough,
which Is kopt open nine mouths in tho year.
Tbo annual proceeds of the former of these
institutions aro largo, and are devoted en
tirely to tho work of missions, In which tue Mo
ravian Church has always takou a leading part.
Tho Parochial School hero referred to gave a
closing 6oriea of entertainments in tho spacious
hall of their new building, on last Thursday, which
wet© largely attended by tbo citizens; aud the
masnor in wbioh tho pupils acquitted themsolves.*
no les? than tbo cbaraot6r of tbo various dialogues,
etcetera, fpokon, was an olcquent comment npoc
tho cQoioncy with which this institution 13 ccu
duoted.
Tho habits of tho people cannot fee too highly
comtuonded. They aro at onoo, intelligent, In
dustrious, virtuous, and long lived. The German
language is still mainly spokon by them. Tho
healthy Inflation, no lca3 than th® accommodations,
aud tho excellent society attracted hither €vcry
soason, renders Bethlehem ono of tho most popular
of our iutotior summer resorts. The hotels aro not'
oxcolled in any inland town that I have over
visited. Tho old u Sun,” conducted by Mr. Lei*
bert, besides being a spsoious and admirably kept
house, is famous in history for its Revolutionary
association?. A room in it, atlll preferred iu its
origiual form, wa3 occupied by Generals Washing
ton and Lafayette on moro then ono occasion ; and
during tho grout excitement in this region attend
ing the anti-tas robcliion in 1793-9, in consequence
of tho Federal Government attempting to collect &
direct tax, this houso, which was originally built
in 175S, ; was th© scene of como of tho most tnomo*
rablo acts. - • '
Another nrst-olass house hero la the Eoglo Hotel,
which hn; been kopt during tho last sovaniosu
years by Mr. Caleb Yohe Tho National Guard of
your oity, numboring sotua hundred aud fifty man,
be3id}9 musicians, are to encamp within a abort
dbtanco of tho town from tbo sth .to th® 15th
proximo, and dineht tbo “Eiglo.” Tho Sold se
lected for tho enoftinpuieut is a bold, open cm!-
uoucQj ovorlookiug Bathtehem from the north,
with tho Lehigh on the right, and tho ruo
andcring Slanookasy in front. Independent, of
tho usual ingress of summer visitor?, it is enp
posed that this prospective military pageant
attract hundreds of excursionists during tho
ten days of its continuance. .Tho American
Hotel, located in-tbo moat elevated .pan of the
towD, is nlso admirably situated, aud I understand
suitably propnrod to accommodate boarders; and it
will probably’not be lopg b fl^orc largo additions to
tho hotel .facilities I havohord speoiSod will be
rendered necessary, by th© growing popularity of
tho pla.ee as a boalf.hful resort for mir citizens. At
fomo fntnrc timo, I hope, from tho spot, to indite a
