What of that, when we find its :crack articles in the New York Albion, a paper which principally constitutes our Saturday reading, for it _ contains matter enough to oc- • cupy a whole !afternoon, and it gives more English literature atid,nevoi, with that rare ar ticle, a Parisian letter teeny written in Paris, duet any other paper wititimour. kuvwledge, .This Albion, by the way, is atc. excellent ex , ample of the_ advantages Cuiaraing , from it' Atter? divhdon of label ; thi#llllo.. tairie iii'accernpitiAereailiffr Oath 'irilia,i'iiiTtransia.ter of Beranger, who attends to the editorial department, with competent assistance—its musical and theatrical criticism is held as standard authority in New Eork— and there is Mr. S. I. Ahern, an Irish gentle man, ably attending to business matters, cloverly keeping up (even in these troublotts times) the full tale of advertisements, and managing affairs so that the paper is never misdirected, is always mailed in time, and is so regular in its arrival that every subscriber, no matter how distant, may calculate upon re ceiving it as regularly as if it were published next door to him. The Albion has immense circulation, not only in Canada and other British colonies, but also in the leading cities of the United - States, and is, indeed, one of the seniors of the New York press, having been established as far back as June, 1839. We have been led into this digression upon the Albion by the fact of its containing that article from the Saturday Review about Edwin James, which we mean to notice. Edwin James, it should be premised, is eldest eon of Mr. John James, for many years Secondary of the City of London, and grand nephew of the late Alderman Harvey Combe, a great brewer in his day, and I. P. for Lon don for many years. It was this Harvey Monate who once gave Beau Brurnmell a terri ble rap ou the knuckles. The Brewer and the Beau were gambling together at Brookes's, and Brummell, who was insolent to a degree, called out ttCome, Wash-tub, what do you set ?" Combo set a pony (twenty-five guineas), and Brummell won twelve of them in succession. Elated by his luck, Brummell bowed and said 4 , Thank you, Alderman, in future I shall drink no porter but yours?' Combo turned the tables on the impertinent Bean by answering, "I wish, sir, that every other blackguard in London would tell melhe same." James, the Secondary, was, what is called, "a solicitor." The fact is, attorney has been' voted vulgar, but it actually means one who' attends to criminal and common law cases, while a solicitor devotes nimself exclusively to what is called Equity business. Having two , sons, James made an attorney of one and barrister of- aua other. Edwin - James was called . to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1835, and was: then'abont 26 years old. His family connec tion gave him large practice from the first, and his talents were equal to it. In 1852, he was of such standing that he could afford to accept a silk gown, the distinguishing costume of Queen's Counsel. In 1856, he was made Re corder et Brighton, which added some £2OO to his income—a sum which never was nearly an equivalent for the loss he sustained by settee from the London law courts, while ju-; dieially at work upon the bench at Brighton. In 1858 Mr. Edwin James obtained great political as well as legal popularity by his suet eflat_tlyt Old o n a elate fetptitheridtfi Orsini, against the life of die Ernieiorltui poleon, and, in February, 1859, becoming a candidate for the parliamentary representation of Marylebone, he headed Sir Benjamin Bali, (who had sat for the borough since 18820 by some 600 votes, and • had five times as many votes in his favor as Lord Stanley, the Tory candidate. He entered Parliament as a Re:- former of the out-and-outer class, thoroughly in favor of the Ballot, and very anxious for the abolition of Church-Rates. Regular in his at tendance, eloquent in his speeches, consistent ly liberal in his votes, after all Edwin Jamee did not succeed in Parliament, and, in Easter Week, announced his intention of retiring, on the plea that parliamentary labor interfered with his practice at the bar. At the same time, be resigned the Recordership of Brighton. The Saturday Review, edited by kid-gloved gentlemen, who boast of their Univetity standing and hate all that Lord Dundreary would call vulgaw, has dropped fiercely down upon poor Mr. James. " lie has fallen, it said, from his place in Parliament like a star from heaven. His descent is as rapid, and more merited than his rise. The daring genie has been played as long as the lights lasted they have died out suddenly, and the daylight which is growing on the walls shows that the audacious player has not won. Mr. Edwin James made a leap at the moon, and, having just missed it, is at present descending with a velocity that increases every minute in coma pound ratio. Like a falling meteor, he trails fire in , his track." Referring to the alleged cause of his retreat, (that private circum stances compel him to devote his attention more exclusively to his profession,) thefie turday Review adds: cc Want of private for tune might compel even a better man to re_ sigh a still more respectable seat; but it must be dire necessity that compels a barrister to withdraw from the green pastures and still waters of a Recordership. Most men hold on to a judicial sinecure until they either lose it, or perceive that it is likely to be taken, bon gri mat gri, from them. Bat though the causes that necessitate Mr. Edwin James's re tirement are no doubt as deplorable as they are mysterious, far be it from us to deplore that retirement itself." Mr. James entered Parliament, like other lawyers, to place himself prominently in pub; lie view, with a hope; no doubt, of becoming one of the law-officers of the Grown, which would give immediate high station and large income, with a not remote prospect of a Judgeship—perhaps of a Peerage also. In December, 1859, when the office of Solicitor General became vacant, cruel Palmerston, in stead of appointing Mr. James, gave the place to Mr. Atherton. This was the crushing blow. Proceeding with its comments*. and dwelling upon what it a ff ects to call is the mys t ery " of Mr. James' self-extinguishment, the Saturday Review goes on thud, in a vein terribly satire cal,• not to say actually personal, upon' the lawyer's Parliamentary career : " We feel the sort of shook at his unexpected die; applesauce that we feel when harlequ in in the pan te:alms jumps down a trapdoor at e vary minute wa are waiting for him to do something. Where bee he gone? Into what has he jumped? What i f he going to do next? During his brief appear &nee on the Parliamentary • stage, Mr. James's movements have been as prominent, as noisy,and as fantastical as those of any harlequin that ever leaped. Re. entered with a swing, a rub, and a bound; and, having attracted as muoh attention in as short a time as possible—having made a time sand noises in a thousand half minutes—he makee his exit with a tumble. He has hardly bun a member of Parliament, in the ordinary sense of the word, at all. That he was ever in Parliament was always understood to be a kind of coarse joke at the expense of representative institution!. He imparted an sir of vulgarity to the whole history of the last year by visiting Italy in the character of an English politician during the Neapolitan re volution. lie wrote to the Times about Neapolitan prisons, and made writing to the nines ridiculous. lle shouted like the rest for Reform.

We learn that dcwhen Mr. Edwin James first took his seat it was with the hope that by a bold and brazen push he might be `Come so powerful at to succeed.

Mr. James, like the late Sergeant Wilkins, has long been laboring for creditors, and fora class of creditors who certainly cannot count on much sympathy froth the public, should Mr. James have de termined on releasing himself from their claims by measures which would be ineouipa tible with a seat in Parliament or a judicial office.' This is certainly a painful position, in which a man with au income of at least £40,000 a year thus voluntarily places him self; and his Hebrew friends must be terribly exacting in their pound of flesh, if such a princely fortune—double the salary of the Prime Minister—is not enough to satisfy their demands." To those who would inquire why a gentle man with a law practice of fifty thousand dol lars per annum should be "hard-up," we ten der a reply, in better language and with more force than any explanation of our own. Here, apropoa of this very ease, is the London Times' sketch of an English barrister in full practice "He must be called at four o'clock, and sit read ing hiepapere by oandlelight when lees prosperous Christiens are, comfortably asleep. He must be holding conimitations at hours when the most hum ble - bank clerk is only just getting his breakfast. He must be in court, with half a day's work done, for the most part at, nine o'clock.. Then he has his weary hours of wrangling, reading, verifying authorities, and spinning oat hours of talk, less to convince the court than to satisfy his client/I. In the afternoon, when the burden of the day is thrown off by all ordinary laborers, the prosper one barrister is needed at chambers. There are oases to answer and. Conferences to bold, and the work of to morrow 10 just come in, and he must go hot= and read. up as much as he dan , hefore bedtime, throw the rest aside, and make haste to take his modicum of sleep—for the inevi table morrow will bring its candles, and its brief bag, and :its mass of labor, which cannot wait for the sun. Our Q. O. has the greet prizes of his profession' within his grasp. He le riming into notortetY—we cannot call It fame—perhaps into popularity. The Solicitor Generalship may be in view. 'Then the labor of the House of Conosione is superadded, and he must be strong to mind and strong in body if he li.e-nil - this and de not sink under it. It - a hard life at best—a few meet :.roves for recreation during the year, and all the rest =intermitting toil—great game when the time of profit comes but little leisure to enjoy them. Let the brick Layer who grudges his ten hours of saun tering labor at a mechanical handicraft think What a life this Is The bricklayer declares that he can not live without having Illosen hours out of every twenty-four to improve his mind'—at the Club pot-house; the lawyer has scarcely an hour in time day to. talk to his wife a eon Maohildren. Yet this' is the bright side of such a career as we have imagined. The bar is what is' oalled a career of ambition. He who starts on inch a career must be supposed to have faith in himself. He dares great ly in his early days, and his daring takes the form of running into debt. Not a few have even befit their bitter moan upon this very daring and this very indebtedness. The power of which he him self is 00IIffitiOall, keensighted observers also see. Perhaps he becomes careless and extravagant upon borrowed money, and he is a slave for life; his labor is not for himeelf, his successes bring to him no reward, his , path upwards in ;..paiiiaidon - . is :in. - to, competence or to ho-. .wor. :The worliti men in) the- -Lam list. are :tie taskmasters And: she . monopolists of his earnings. He is paiing—we mean he ii add lag to -his indebtedness—at the rate of`misty; or even eighty, or, we have been once assured by one who sank wider the hopeless content, even 180 per cent. for money borrowed in remote dates, and paid twenty times over, yet surviving In a mound of bills and bonds. There la not a slave in South Carolina who is so much to be pitied as this prosperous,Ahriving, rising, popular barrister. He is not even master of his own honor. Professional honor reqnires the nicest observance, and is sensi tive to the most delicate touch ; and the higher an advocate may rise, the more conspicuous are his acts, and the more responsible is he for scrupulous attention to the lightest shades of professional pro prlety. But the man we are now imagining has 'coarse taskmasters, who will insist. upon opining his talent into gold, for the gold when gained is ' theirs. It is an evil in our system that attorneys can push any man of talent up to that position in which he only just fails to storm the Bench ; and it is a still greater evil that this power is not con fined to, or . even chiefly possessed -by, the most honorable elasa of that profession. The bar, itself, seems to be somewhat leas tenacious of its cor porate honor than it has been in former times, or instead of deploring these things privately it would long since have purged them' Of course, we can know nothing of any Individual case which does not come forth in some official way out of the privaay in which 'such matters always dwell. as long as possible. The current scandals, therefore, which have suggested these remarks must pass un• fixed. We think, however, that it may fairly be suggeateil to the profession itself, whether some means cannot be taken against making mere busi ness ' in court the Alpha and Omega of profession al estimation, and against the system which now places the honor of the bar In the gift of the least reputable among the attorneys." The above is one of the saddest, because one of the truest, of portraits from actual life. It represents a class of able men who have none like them here,—nutlike them, we mean, in getting such small returns for such immense labor. In this country, a lawyer is not neces sarily obliged, as it were, to aim at making such a show in society, at such a terrible cost. We have men here with Mr. Edwin James' ability, but, happily, without his necessity (tor it is almost that) of "pawning a prosperous future for a very liliputian present.

Vane/tarot In America, must be accepted as an amusingly absurd and, ridioulously laughable parody upon c' Oar American Cousin," hi which Mr. Joseph Jefferson and Mr. Bothern were the original Asa Trenehard and Lord Dundreary, at Laura Keene's Theatre, and, the originals studied by Mr. Clarke and Mr. Wheatley, (.• gags" included,) when the play was to be brought out at A roh-street Theatre. There is aemuch differenee between the originals and the copies of these two characters as there is between gennine licidaieck and Jersey older oopy,how ever good, is but a copy. In the play, as written by Tom Taylor, Asa Trenehard, the American Cousin, was necessarily a leading part, and admirably did Mr. Jefferson play It. Bat Lord Dundreary was actually nest to nothing, so unimportant bad the air thor made it. We have beard that it did not origi nally contain more than "a length," which Is only forty-two lines, and the adroitness with which seve ral performers in Laura Keene's company tried to dodge it bas been deseribed as extremely amusing. At last, venturing upon it as a sort of forlorn hope, &Ir. Sothern consented to play the part. He either was allowed or took carte dlantite as to expand ing it, and finally succeeded in making it a great feature in the play.

Ilis Is genuine light comedy of the present day, not the faded tradition of a by-gone time, when the oomedian dealt out his words with such grave Noletenity, that *he spectator was fain to fancy that light comedy was apeolfloally a heavy affair. In " Our American Cousin at some," by Mr. C. Gayier, of New York, we have a caricature of the Lord Duradreakv of the original play. It is an extravaganza, full of fan all through, and many of its numerous jokes are so supremely ridiculous that, after having involuntarily laughed at them, you laugh again at yourself for having done so. Mr. Sothern has two charactera in this piece— Dundreare himself, (an hirsute and absurd as ever, yet gradually improving into a man under the influence of love,), and his younger brother, the lion. Sam. 'Alm doubling of these parts is a dramatic curiosity, and shows Mr. Bothorn to be, in ail respects, a pretty sharp and active fellow. My Lord walks out at one side of the stage, and, almost bafore you ean look around, Stun walks in at the other. do it is, all through the piece, and it really is surprising how rapidly dress and hair are changed. Sam, we take it, is a finer conception than Dundreary. lie is the bash. wellborn Englishman. Hie love-soene, where he proposes to Edith Talfourd, (played by Miss Price, who haa not yet learned to restrain her laughter on the stage,) was rwrsr ap vary amusing, sad another capital hit was where Trenehard teaches Dundreaiy how to pro nozince r'a_ That same part of Susie Trenclard, played by Mu. Cowell, Lee nothing In it, except that ono Beene, and so clever and versatile an actress was misplaced in it. But she introduces into it a very popular song, with a " stunning " chorus, in which "Dixie" is commemorated, and, singing it in IL very telling manner, it bee received a double encore every night. Mrs. Cowell appears to have a new version every time she sings it, and the al lusions to passing events, adroitly brought in, re peatedly draw down the house." Some mere "walking lady" can fill this part at New York, but only a good vocalist like Mrs. Cowell can give the song, which is a great attraction in the piece. Mr. Vining Bowers plays the oharaoter of Asa Trenchard very well indeed—in a natural and elleotive manner, and Mies Miller, &ebb wife, ren dered justice to a small character. Mrs. Thayer'i accent, as an Irish orange•seller, is the most un- Irish we ever heard, but Mr. Young, as Uncle Pete, a gray-haired negro-servant, played evenly and ably throughout. Two more oharaoters must be mentioned, though our space is limited to•diy. The first is Ord Coyle, which Mr. Dubois per sonated with intense truth and force. In feet, what Is actually a small part, he gave with each diatinatnees and energy as to make it truly notice able. Every now and then Mr. Dubois plays very artistically—We is one of the occasions. Binge Mr. hothern first produced than play here, several weeka ago, a new part has been introduced. This is an undersized morsel of male humanity, Tiger to Sam, and bearing the aristocratic name of Master Buggins. This part is played by Miss C. JeXereon, a quaint little lady with a eonsidera_ ble alum of the talent width has ran through three generations of her family. Dressed up in drab livery, with laced.hat and top-boots, Master Bugginr is an amusing addition to the draws and his bye-play with Kinney, especially on the steamboat, was quite in character with the spirit of the piece. Mr. Sothern plays every evening: this week. We candidly confess that we cannot understand the policy of following such a "screaming" three act farce as " Oar American Cousin at Rome " by snob a oommonplace two-act piece of heavi nese as is announced. It is like throwing a wet blanket upon the fun of the Drunireary extras. gauss. PRILADILPHIA PIRPORMERS >x Losinox.--On Easter Monday, a new comic picoe, by Samuel Lover, entitled" Mac Carthy More," was produced at the Lyceum Theatre in London. The %raver says : " ft was reoeived with every token of appro bation. In plot and general etrnoture it le slender alined to flimsiness, bat yet so rich and genial is the humor that rune through every wens of it, and so natural is the acting of Mr. John Drew in the part of the genuine native of the Green Self who holds the foremost figure in the piece, that no one can possibly see it without a sense of delight and pleasure. Mr. Drew's impersonation of.the part is entitled to the highest praise; rich in humor and overflowing with fun, bat never come, never vul gar, never extravagant. A more natural, and eon. sapiently a more 'agreeable, delineator of Irish character in the humbler walks of life las not been seen upon the board of a London theatre for many a day." On the same evening, at the same theatre, the Observer sap, another new drama, entitled " New Year'e Eve; or the Belle of the Simeon," was also produced, In which Miss Matilda Heron and Mrs. Winstanley severally made their drat appearance at this theatre, and in which, it my be further said, each of those isdiea added materially to her previews reputation as au aceorapliehed actress. The play is an adaptation from the French drama of th e younger Datum, and, In Borne of its scenes, presents a strong resemblance to the famous Dame eta Camellia." The part of the laroime, Rosalie'Lee, wham ateadfast virtue dually brings her in triumph through trials which have carried her to the very verge of the grave, was very dra• matioally sustained by Miss Matilda Heron ; and a fashionable London milliner, Mrs. Bobiverte, was most amusingly impersonated by aim Wiu - Stanley.
