There are some miscellane ous stories, and the Editor's Table, ‘hlo.sy Chair; Foreign Bureau, and Drawer, whhibi are racy and brilliant to a degree: In the aiticlo on Pearls mention Is made of Lord John Thysne. This is an error": the mait'm naletels Thynne. Here aro a leash of clippings from the Drawer : A gensas-man in Sullivan county, Fetnayl- 'main, came to the house of Hiram Wilson. ibis was nob at tome, but his wife was.

B. Pugh, who invariably dis tances all the other booksellers in the supply of the .atlantic Monthly, we have the NOVOM ber number. But for the utter stupidity and irrelevancy of the antique jokes in page 818, the article upon Thomas Hood would be very good indeed. The writer'ealewa of Alm dif ference—an ideal ye ektfigiinet wit and !minor aro clear and" correct. 1 A chatty article on Faye' and Off Portuguese, giving the results of an. American's winter re. eidence in the Azores, will be read with satis-' faction, as well on account of its merit us simple good writing, as for the information ice agreeably communicates. The commencement of a story 'called Midsummer and May pro mises won, and ,the continuation of Doctor Holmes' desultory novel, The Professor's entampreuriC L areerelsnolteeefe—,..Flor tea-party and his description of the lady; Hero she is " Whether his equine Gip ulnae was of any Me to him bathe seleottonof the mate With whoteihe was to go in double harness so long as they both should live, we need notatop to queetion. At ediy rate, nobody could find fault with the points or Mies Manilla Van Dense to 'whom-he offered the privilege of becoming Mrs. Rowena. The Van must have been crossed out of her- blood, for she was an out.and-lint brunette, with hair sad eyes black enough for a Mohawk's daughter. A flue style of *omen, with very striking tints and out, lines—an excellent match for the Lieutenant; ex cept for one thing. She was marked by Nature for a widow. She was evidently got up for mourning, and never looked so well as in deep black with jet ornaments. "Tire men who should der merry her would doom himself ; for how coo she become the widow she was bound to 'be, unless he would retire and give her a chance? The Lieutenant lived, however, as we have seen, to bemire captain, and then major, with prospects of further advance, meat. Bat Mrs. Rowena often' said she never look well in colors. At lest her deetiny fel tilled itself, and the juetioe of Nature wan.-vindb cabal. Major Rowena got overheated galloping about the* field on the day of the great muster, and had a rush of blood to the head, in:wording to the common report; at any rate, something whin} stopped him short in bin career of expansion and promotion, and established Mrs. Rowena ip her normal condition of widowhood. " The widow Rowers was now in the full bloom of ornamental sorrow. A very shallow crape bonnet, fnlled and froth-like, allowed the parted raven hair to show its glossy smoothness. A jet pin heaved upon her bosom with every sigh of memory, or emotion of unknown origin. Jet brace., lets shone with every movement of her slender hands, eased in oleee.fitting bleok gloves. Her sable dress was ridged with manifold flounoee, from beneath which a small foot showed itself from time to time, clad In the same hue of mourning. Everything about her was dark, except the whites of her eyes and the enamel of her teeth. The effect was complete. Gray's Elegy was not a more perfect composition. "Mush as the Widow was pleased with the cos tume belonging to her condition, she slid not dis guise from herself that under certain oironmstanees she mighthe willing to change her name again. Thus, for instance. if a gentleman not too far gone in maturity, of dignified exterior, with an ample fortune, and of unexceptionable character, should happen to set his heart upon her, and the only way to make him happy was to give up her weeds and go into those unbecoming colors again for his sake— why, she felt that it was her nature to make the sa crifice. Bye singular coincidence it happened that a gentteman was now living in Rockland who united in himself all these advantages. Who he was, the sagacious reader may very probably have divined. Just to see how it looked, one day, having bolted her door, and drawn the curtain close, and glanced under the sofa, and listened at the key-hole to be sure there was nobody in the entry—just to see how It looked, she had taken out an envelope and written on the back of it, Mrs, Manilla Venner. It made her bead svnin-smd her knees tremble. What if she should faint, or die, or have a stroke of palsy, and they should breaki into the room and end that name written? How ehe caught it up and tore It into little shreds, - and then could net be easy until ehe had burned the small heap of piecee ! But - these are things which every honorable reader will consider im parted in strlot confidenoe." Tho italics in this extract are our own. A story called "'Tenty Scran',", (why will authors invent absurd names 7) is below par. The poetry is rather better than the usual run of Magazine Verses. But the crowning arti cles this month aro Recollections of Wash ington Irving, by G. I'. Putnam, his pub lisher, and a sensible paper touching Italian Experiences in collecting " Old Masten," Mr. Putnam's reminiscences aro unusually in teresting, for he has something to day, and has evidently a feeling of high friendship and appreciation for "Geoffrey Crayon,,Gent." In 1848, when all tho world believed that Irving's works had run out, Mr. Putnam made a bold and liberal offer to reproduce them. Irving accepted the proposal, and the number of volume since printed of these works, in cluding the later ones, amounts to 800,000. When the new National Edition is complete, (whereof the commencement of the Life of Columbus has just appeared,) the number will exceed 1,000,000 volumes! Hero is a personal anecdote front Mr. Putnam's article : "The'Retell Book' also received considerable new matter in the revised edition; and the story, in the preface, of the author's connection 'with Scott and with Murray, added new interest to the volume. which has always been the favorite with the public. Yon will remember Mr. Bryant'a re marks about the etiange in the tone of Mr. Irving's temperament shown in this work tiseentrasted with Knickerbocker, and the probable dame of this change. Mr. Bryant'e very delicate and judicious reference to the foot of Mr. Irving 'e early engage ; mont was undoubtedly correct. -- .A miniature of a young lady, intense - Ina', refined, and beautiful, wee handed me one day by Mr. Irving, with the request that Dvrorddhave a slight injury repaired by an artist, and a new ease made f or it, the old one being actually worn but by/ much, use. The, painting fon ivory) wan exquisitely fine.. Vilien I, returned It to him in a suitable valet won), he took : it to a quiet corner and looked intently on the face for some minutes, apparently unobserved iOs gars, felling freely on the glees setts wised. 2‘44 ,this Wes &miniature of the lady—Miss Roffman, a 015. ter of Ogden Hoffman—it is not now, porhaps, in dent:ate to surmise. It is for a poet to oh:motorize the nature of an attachment to loyal, so fresh, and so fragrant, forty years after death had snatched away the mortal part of the objoot of affection." And hero is one of Irving's adventures, related by himself, and no doubt true to the letter : "You remember bow the author of Pleasures of Hope' was once hospitably entertained Ibq wor ' thy People, under the silpposition that he was the exoellent missionary Oampbeildust returned ttom Africa, and bow the massive man of state, Daniel Webster, had repeated occasion in England to dis claim honors meant for Noah, the man of words. Mr. 'Tying told, with great glee, a little story against hinaself, illustrating theta uncertainties of dietant 'fatne. Making a small purchase at a shop in, - England, not long after his second or third 'work had given currency to his name, he gave his. address (' Mr. Irving, Number,' ate.) for the parcel to bo sent to his lodgings, The salesman's fano brightened : it possible,' said be ' that-1 have- the pleasure of serving Mr. Irving?'

Such aiprize as a bond fide Italian picture, by cone Mato great Old Masters, is scarcely to be obtained; in Italy, for any money. In fact, the public, or such of them as are interested in 'tile matter, know, with the exactness of a ca talogtio, almost overy work of merit which has been painted in Europe from the fourteenth to the close of the seventeenth century. Each of these pictures has a pedigree of successive .oivnerships. Each of these, if in the market, has a certain value, which Galleries and Col lectors will give, beyond the usual means of tr'a'velling Americans. Souk's M.urillo, in the Louvre, purchased in 1851, cost $128,000. 'Moreover, no genuine old picture is now al .loyved to leave ; Italy or Spain. What rich A,mericans buy in these countries are manu factured 'cc originals "—clever imitations and impositions, as the author of the article in the Magazine very convincingly shows. It would boi,wiser and more patriotic for an American to collect the works of his own countrymen than to loadfddiskWalls with fraudulent imitations, and !febble'coiiies of the cc Old Masters."

A 'few evenings ago an entire school of boys ocoupied a portion of the house, headed by their teachers, and we noticed on Friday evening hundreds dill tle fellows, from eight to twelve, under tho guar dianship of their parents, watching; with' breath less anxiety, the progress of " King Lear." Printed copies of the play, with the oaet of cha racters, are sold and circulated. The whole piece has been adapted, by Mr. Forrest himself, and it is a rare satisfaction to follow the actors through every soon?, and to scenic+ how thoroughly each has committed his part to memory. We can pay no higher compliment to all concerned than to say that, having followed them steadily through the whole performance, there was hardly one who was not letter perfect." "Sing Lear" was composed by the illustrious Shakeneare two hundred and fifty•five years ago, and was played on the 20th of November, 1607, before the English king. Not even the "Orestes" of Euripides, the ~Olementina" of Richardson, or the " CEdipus" of Stiphooles can be placed in com petition with this wonderful creation. Whether we consider it as a work Of art, or as a picture of the passions, it is entitled to the highest praise. All the human frailties ind sufferings are depleted —ingratitude, love, cruelty, revenge, poverty, ambition, and last. Not, indeed, with the rough candor of the rude era in which the play 17a# pro duced, bat with a mbattir to nata”....... ledge of the human heart that bespeak the almost inspired character of the immortal author.

This ease of flesh and blood seems to be too insig nificant to be thought on, even o$ ho himself no. sleets it. While we read the play we see not Lear but we are Lear. We are sustained by a gran deur which baffles the malice of his daughters and storms. In the aberrations of his reason we dis cover a mighty, irregular power of reasoning, un mothodlzed from the ordinary purposes of life, but exerting its powers, as the wind bloweth where it listeth, at will, on the corruptions and abuses of mankind." Who but Forrest could embody these emotions? Of all cotemporaneous actors, nature seems to have fashioned him for this unequalled conception. From the moment when he first appears, coated on his throne, and avows his determination to ap portion his kingdom among his three daughters, down to the closing scene, when, with the poor murdered Corde/ils in his arms, he confesses alike his cruelty to her and her consistency to him, he is the Lear of Shakspeare. Even after his reason leaves him, deserted ;by his daughters, he rushee into the storm and seeks the barren heath, his dignity of character never forsakes him. •Ile is the game king, whether the imperial diadem or the chaplet of straw crowns his white hairs. He re members alike the ingratitude of his daughters and the faot that he was born to rule. While dis cussing with peer Toni, who, in order to wean him from his sorrows, affects himself to be insane, ho insists upon knowing whether his companion is "a gentleman," and, while listening to the rav ings of Edgar, he exclaims, in the bitterness of his heart, "Nothing could have eubdu'd nature To such a lowness, but his unkind daughters." Forrest gave to his banishment of Cordelea, in the second scene of the first not, singular inten sity. lie would not discriminate between her love for him and that she held in reserve for the man she loved, and when old ICepe protests against this exoommunioation, and tells Lear, to his t eeth, that be is doing wrong, and Lear responds with his ter rible malediction, it was the poet that seemed to speak through the lips of the great actor. Nothing could have been finer than the manner in which ho pronounced the following edict of banishment upon I Kent: Hear ins, rash man! on thine allegiance hoar me. Since then haat striven to make as break out vow, And west between our montane', and ear pow ! r, Which nor our nature. nor our rams can bear, We banish thee for ever from our eight And kingdom if. when three days arc eapied. Thy hated trunk be found in our &imone, That moment is thy death. Away !" It to easy to imagine how Forrest would utter the oursee upon Goneril and Regan. With what volume of voice, with what a quivering frame, with what an agony of anger, be anathematises hie two daughters, and mills down from Heaven those miseries which finally overtook them ! But we cannot describe the effect upon the house when he finds Began following the example of her Sig. ter, and realizes his utter destitution, as he ex• claims : "Ileav!ns, drop your patienoo down! You ate me here, ye gods! a poor old man, tie full of grief ea age, wretched in both ! If it be you that stir therm daughtore' hearts .I:O a ti l eZ t iVea r ni'et , 'T r io f Ueli re with Tea anger 0, let not women's weapons, water drops,..

You think I'll weep; No. not weep have full cause of weeping ; but this heart Shall break into s. hundred thousand flaws, Or ere lilt weep.- 0, gods, I shall go mad !" Commentators all agree that nothing finer was ever conceived than the contraet between the pas sion of Lear and the effoot of the tempest, as, after his departure from hie ungrateful daughters, he goes out with only the sky for his covering and the earth for his bed. Wonderful, most wonderful as the genius of Shakspeare shines through all hie productions, this idea is moat touching. Lear does not know the banished Kent, who follows and waits upon him. But even in the storm, while the thunders roll and the lightnings flash, he is not insensible to the devotion of his strange follower, and alter welcoming " The dreadful pother o'er his head," and exclaiming, " I am a man more sinned against than sinning." he turns to his companion and sap, in the sweet est tom, " The art of our necessity is stlange,.. And eau make vile things precious—rdy poor knave, Cold as I am at heart, Pye one plane there • That's corn' yet for thee." Those of our readers who have seen the two pieturas of Lear now owned by Joseph Harrison, Jr., of this city—the one by Rothermel, and the other by Witt Camp, a foreign artist—will instantly perceive the likeness of Forrest in the work of Bothermel, who painted the head with the great tragedian for his model, and the striking simili tude between the Lear as represented in New York on Friday night as produced by Air.

The last act of all, when Lear meets Cordelia, for the first time since bb drove her from his presence, called out all the fihor traits of Forrest's noting. When he wakes from his sleep, and beholds Cordelza and the phy eician watching at his side, all the fires of his re sentment dead ; even the memory of the ingrati tide of his family lost ; a new world breaks upon his vision, and he sees something like a better state of things around him.

Buchanan's friends, dressed In appropriate 'costume—that of olowna—and led by two-disgraced Rnow-Nothings, did youths-infer of burning you in effigy in Centre Square. Theleaders to whom we refer aieJohn Reigart, letterearrier under Hiram Swarr, and Sebastian Mauer,' clerk under ayor Sanderson. From the positions whieh Rai. artand Musser; occupy near Swan and Sander- fon, I suppose springs the :minor that theft gen- Unman, acting tinder instructions fibm Washbg ton, were instrumental in thiaguttemaniy rums ; lon. I know not that Reigart being Mr. - llwriri-4 lark, and that Mr. Swarr receives his appoint meat direst from 'Mr. - Bnobaban, is SidEMMA leason for attributing this degoidation to the Na-: tuna!

I shall leave you to draw your own inftirenee. i I understand that a similar deimonstration wan recently made at Reading, which, It-is believed, *rut got up by George M.

If Florida exhibits symptoms of Bell-ism, the Grannies croak most ominously the name of "Forney."

Foster; ?pr eioellent candidate for Governor. The following is, the extract from our ootemporary of this city, which contains the Miserable, covert, and coward ly attack on the Douglas men, and which we em phatically brand as false. We quote : • I , We leave our intelligent readers to form their own conclusions as to wuo are the thousands of lumen Demoorats,' that sympathize in the Regudiertn triumnli and also. Avuo are the men to whom. Ina large degree. the ' Republicans are indebted for the triumph over which they ere now exulting.' " !The unbribed, unpurohaged Democrats, who can see a higher motive in advocating party faith than the mere peenniary rewards which inure to , their I ;umphs, would do well to remember ,with what p •rsistent misrepresentation and insult the Intelli gincer has mimed them. Let them remember that their meetings have been branded as gather ings gotten up by the Black Republicans; that their great standard-bearer Is a disorganizer; that they have been the cause of. Henry D, ros ter's defeat, and then, when this " roaring lien" becomes as gentle as a "sucking dove," - as Ire venture the prophecy the Intelligencor willbefore February neat, when the mayoralty. .agaitt looms , they may count rip how • much theis.g.rtitibsde makes them the debtor of their vilifier. Mark us, there will be many'lessons en' harmony and con dilation before the next Mayor's eleotiori. Of °Ours°, they will all be for the good of the party _ nothing selfish, no anxiety to continue the mourn bonny in the present chief magistrate of the city Ob no; nothing of that kind *mild influent,. so disinterested a Democrat ilt is not the intention of the Inquirer to advo ento Forney, or any other person, farther than such person is the representative or advocate of certain defined principles. The moment we be lieve Forney ceases to be an advocate of Bound Democratic, faith, that moment-we drop him. We have yet to seo the first sentence in The. Press which every Democrat who reads these lines,would not have swallowed as readily in 'ii .as -Diiine revelation, and we hoe as long -as we entertain such views to feel as wo now do : that there is in finitely more of honor and manliness in approving the rectitude of the course of the humble editor than applauding the treacheries and frauds-of patronizing power. When we yield either private ly or politically to the latter we hope there may be some Forney to tell the-world : Tnitnn is A HAN wHo nisrosas or ins possemez FO/1 A PRICE. The Distinionists would do much better if they would look the recent result calmly in the face, and ascribe it to the cause which has brought dis aster on the Democracy over the whole Union. It is too great a reflection upon the intelligence of the Amerman people to say that any individual, or any score of individuals, could have influenced such re sults. There has been some univeraally-cherished opinion of the people violated somewhere, and if they will divest themselves of the idea of their own infallibility they will be able to discern where and when that violation occurred. Whole States and nations do not change their party affection and 'all the ties of political association at the beck and nod of any man ; and the reasons which induce them to renounce their adhesion to Democracy; and transfer it to Republicanism ' must be of more im portance than the wishes of the most talented and learned gentleman- in the States. We tell, those Disuniemets, then, look to Washington, not to Philadelphia—to James Buchanan b Co., not , lto John W. Forney; to the breakers of the,pledges and promises given to the people, not to those who would have kept .- then! tiacredlarid they will li t find the proper and'on Canso of ottr defeats. - .oThe people do not always, bi,whiehr!ndivldual in a party has sinned, _ nt condemn him for WV,. in company of sinners.
