THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1861 Shaksperiana.--No. 6. The rarity of personal relies of William Shakspere is remarkable. His Inlet in the parish-church of Stratford-upon-Avon; his native place, was probably executed (Sir Francis • Chantrey, the sculptor, thought) from a east taken after his death, and time we have a reliable .‘ counterfeit - presentment" of the man. This is the more probable, in asmuch as this monumental bust very closely resembles Shakspere's portrait, engraved, perhaps even drawn, by Martin Dr:Mob:int; prefixed to the first folio edition (A. p. 1023) of the Poet'sworks, and with its authenticity vouched for by his intimate friend Ben .ton son. Shakspere's Last Will and Testament, - . prepared in - .Tannery, hut not executed until March,- 1616, four weeks-before his death, consists of three sheets of impel', itith signature upon each, feebly and uncertainly"' 'Written, as if the testator *ere-then imffering from illness.: : • There are two other Shaksperian Ante graphs, the-authenticity'of which fs'undenia ble. Both are - upon legal intitruments, duly executed,' and - the' writer of-this article - has seen these, as well as the signatures to the - Will. The first is his signature subscribed,- in Shakapare's own hand, upon the indenture assigning a small house near the Blackiriara Theatre, in the city of London, to Wm. Shake perti, oh .10th March, 1612-13, for the pur chase-money of £140"; and the- second is upon a deed whereby Shakspese, on the fol lowing day, mortgaged the house to Renry Walker, the vendor, for £6O, having paid down only £BO of the purchase-money. In 1841, the first of these legal instruments, fairly endorsed upon parchment, was: sold by auction, in London, byMessre. Evana, of Pill Mali. Bearing Shakspere's signature, au then*. beyond dispute, it was sold tor £162.15, —equal to $Bl4 of our money—but the pur chaser did not ,'retain it long, for it again came under the hammer in 1842, and produced nearly the same sum. The Mortgage Deed, which Shakspere had also signed, was known to have been in existence at the Com mencement of the .present century, .brit it appears to have been lost, for many years. The fact is, it was in the hands of an auto. graph-collector in the country, who did not like to mention the fact of his possession, for. fear that . it should be claimed by the actual owner. About twenty years ago, it was brought to London, and privately exhibited. No claimant appeared, and the possessor, growing bolder, allowed it to be described in the newspapers. At last, (in 1847, if we re collect right,) Mr. John Payne Collier, Presi dent of the Shakspere Society, read a very interesting paper`upon these two Shaksperian legal documents, and, to the satisfaction of the Members, among whom we were, ex hibited the indentire whereby Walker sold the house in the Blackfriars to Shakspere, and the deed whereby, on the next following day, Shakspere mortgaged the property to Walker for the £6O of the purchase-money which then remained unpaid. Both documenta were originally in posses. sion of David Garrick, we know, who lent them to Edward Malone, editor and biogra pher of Shaimpere, who described them in his life of the poet. Malone seems to have re tained thorn until after Garricles death, when they were claimed by Albany Wallis, attorney at-law, living in Southampton street or Nor folk street, in the Strand, London, who (with Lord Camden, formerly Lord Chancellor, the Right Bon. Richard Rigby, Paymaster of the Forces, and John Paterson, Esq.) was joint executor of Ganick's will. The mortgage deed was purchased, for £l4l, by the Corpo ratien-or I-ae don. and is now in the City Li brary. The civic funetiotiaty who trod 6%, exhibit it, a dozen years ago, invariably de scribed it as cc the hot-ograph of Mr. Shah spare, a great pote several hundred years ago, and author of Ben Jonson's play of The City Madam!" In the British Museum,. besides the first deed, (from Walker to Shakspere,) is Flo rio's translation of Montaigne's Essays, (folio 1603,) upon the fly-leaf of which is the sigma tore, W. Shakspere," closely resembling the autograph of the poet. This was pur chased, at an auction in London, for £lOO, and eventually became public property at a small edvance. Mr. Payne Collier, in his Life of Shakspere, expresses his conviction that this is a genuine signature. We confess to considerable doubt!, upon the matter. There is not the slightest evidence, beyond the close resemblance of handwriting, to show that this is Shakapere's actual signa ture. Nay, more : having repeatedly and minutely examined it, we arrived at the con clusion that the ink, which has a yellow tinge, had faded, not naturally by the lapse of years, but artificially. It is well known that, by adding a little sulphate of iron to ordinary ink the tint is immediately changed tram black to brown, and, as you augment the quantity, from brown to yellow. This is the way in which the appearance of antiquity is generally given to imitations or to forgeries of old handwriting. There is a test, how ever, which we took leave to apply. A strong magnifying glass will show the deposit; on the paper, of minute crystals of the salt. In the aignature upon the fly-leaf of Florio's Mon taigne such a...deposit is plainly perceptible. Hence our doubt touching the authenticity of the writing. It has been argued that the book must have been known to Shakspere, because it was published in his time, and because Florio was a writer known to Min. Mr. Allibone, who gives a detailed account of John Florio and his writings, notices the fact that The Reso .inte, as he called himself, had criticised Shak- Spore and others for writing neither comedies nor tragedies, ge but representations of histo ries without any decorum," and quotes Dr. Drake's statement that, in retaliation, Shak vete ridiculed Florio in his character of Ho: , lofernes, the schoolmaater in <oLove'e Labor Lost." Dr. Drake got this idea from Bishop Warburton. Mr. Grant White, (whose edition of Shaluipere, if 'completed as "commenced, will be a credit to this country,) thinks, how ever, that the declaration that the pedant schoolmaster was, a satire upon John Florio, cc rests upon assertions not worthy of serious attention." So think we. Shakapare was the best-natured man with the bestLnatured muse, and seems to have avoided, as far as possible, noticing sneers or attacks upon him. We forMerly examined a book in England, and purpose telling our readers all about it some day, which we verily believe to have not only been in Shakspere's library, but to have been constantly referred to by him, for his historical plays, besides being covered, in some parts, with copious notes in what much resembles , his handwriting. Moreover, It bears Shakspere's signature—apparently more authentic than that in the Ily-leaf upon Florio's Montaigne. This is Ralph Holins hed's a Chronicles of Englande, Scotlande, and Irelands," 2 vols. folio, published in Lon , don, 11 1577—a book knoWn to have been used by Shakspere in the arrangement of some of his historical plots. In the copy which we examined the reigns dramatically illustrated by Skakspere—and none but these reigns— have a vast number of manuscript marginal notes, and, in most instances, a resume of the events is written in at the conclusion of each. Sam Weller, when he wrote his celebrated Valentine,' addressed, a To Mary, Housemaid, at Mr: Nuphins's Mayor's, Ipswich, Suffolk," finished abriptly, which made his virtuous and plethoric , father say, " That'e raythei a sudden - , pall up, ain't it, Sammy r" where upon •tintiixolite youth replied, te Not a bit on it ; she'll•vish there vas more, and that's the great art o' letter-writin." Orrseree plc, we pause here,•leaving Shakspere's own Holinshed for another:day. • I T I s anima that- ex-Piestdeat Embalm km1030411+4 the 1111111b1 55,000 for tit of viduntaera at Lancaster.

Pa, [Correspondence of The Press.] CoLoamr.-Foweint : Amid the general uprising of patriots in the loyal States of the AM62101171 Union, we are apt to.fix our attention lip= the larger towns and °Mee, entirely overlooking the efforts made In villages and country distriots. Let me gall the attention of your roadoro to tbo patriot - Imo of a mere village. Mill Hall is a little monntain-bid borough in Clinton county, and, until recently, has been a very quiet place. Bat the news came tbat SumPteee flag had been Insulted by traitors. and that Pied. dent Lincoln had called far volunteers. Ven geance was the cry then. Inmde of four days company of seventy-ewit - fighting men—the Keyetone Infantry, Captain Bossert—was formed, and. reaelted " Camp Cumin," at Rarrstiburg. Thirty-one or thme men belonged to our village— the rest from its immediate vioinity. The orders for this- heroic band to march to the Look Raven Depot, three miles distant, en route for itarrlsburg, came-at a late hour of the night ; most of the citizens and soldiers had retired. The drums were trafte...., and the whole village rushed to headquarters. The moon had just, risen over our mountains, and threw a sheet of silvery , light on all below. Thirty feet of bunting waved in the braes., and ibeneath its ample folds the men ra pidly formed into line. Sisters, wives, mothers were there to bid the last, fond " Good bye." Ac: cursed 14 the traitors, who have-made it necessary for our brave men to shoulder the musket, thereby causing the great fountain of female affbetion and sympathy to pour itself out in tears. Our brave women'-wept but said - , " Go, and God be with you." One brave woman wished she were a man that she might light by the aid, of her husband. A mother said, t " give my two sous to ray country, and Attune I could fight with them, if necessary." A man,:nearly sixty years old, declared his intention "to O." Being told he could not endure the fa tigue of drill, he replied, " I can take care of the sick and wounded; he went along. The -,oommand " marsh" was given, and the troops moved-forward amid the most heartScheer ing ever echoed ,back:by our mountains. A cler gymen. being present, collected the, women and Children, together and poured out a prayer to AI =IVO God in their behalf. One lady - an after the soldiers, shouting at the top of her voice, " Three more cheers for the Union:" They were given with a will. More than $l,OOO has already been subscribed as a relief fund for the - families of this company, and additional subscriptions are being made every day. When. the melt of Pennsylvania meet Southern traitors, on the battle4eld, the Mill Hall company —the "Keystone Infantry"--will not be found wanting. CONEITITVTION. MILL Ham., Pa., April 29, 1861.

The nation composed from all nations (.6 PiurtbaB Unum), and the hope of all nations, the United States of America, is now in proems of being severed ! Rehellzon is in the land ! Excite meat universal and intense. Blood has been shed, and tear is upon nil • NO created power can create motion. Motion may be directed..

The whole land in in minion. My elm is to be instrsdnentel in giving a true direction to the pre- sent national movement. For this I invited the meeting of this audience. The response is both reipeotfal and:reepeotable. . - The enthusiasm of the population is wild. This wild confusion which is manifested is nothing else but the force of the ernes petries—the lime Of MM• try—rising and brooking forth from the hearts of the people . . •Both matte*. born and adopted eitizens - see thisr country In danger. They ire indignant. The spirit of war is rising in them and flowing out from them. Now, allow me, reapeoted hearers, to show you what constitutes the elements of the pa triotism which can save this nation, Wbeee very existenoo le so fiercely threatened Nation laving patriotism has in it : • 1. The love of peace, and the hatred of war.`"l am for peace, but when .1 speak they , are for war." =Ps. 120, 7. " Scatter thou the people that de light in war "—Ps..6B, 30. 2, Gisnuinepetriotism has in it a love for one common nature, and especially for - our kindred. Aristotle said ." every.man is altos autos, another 'ourself." Teirtulliarcsaid to the heathen concern ing the Christiane, "Et fratree etiam vestri MMUS Jure Warm midriff uniue "—Are are also your brethren in the right of nature, our COMM= mother. " Shall Ise up again to battle agaluet the children of Benjamin, my brother ?" Judges 23,28. True patriotism looks to a oommen coma try, a common humanity, and espeoially to .near kindred, beforei it goes to war, and will not draw the sword unless war is forced upon it. :3. A nation-saving patriotism bas in it the spirit of pure righteousness. It will not contend with the sword for what is unjust. It know, very , well that " righteousness exaiteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." Prov. 14, .34. 4. Such national patriotism has in it a spirit. of pare liberality and generosity to the patriots who volunteer in the time of dangerfor their country's defence, and to their families left at. home. Bar %Mai, the Gileadite of Rogelim, acted thus to David and his men. Ile brought forth bed, and batons, and earthen vessels, and wheat and barley, and flour and parched oon2, and beans and and ruched pulse, and honey and batter, and sheep and cheese of kin for David and for the people,". he.. Nation-eaving patriotism will not hide its wealth while others are jeoparding their lives'in "the high places of the field " for their common country, but will do what is honorable and truly patriotic. 2 Sam., 17, 28, 20. b If: war be forced by treason or rebellion, or foreign invasion, upon a people, true patriotism will tight, and fight valiantly ; so it is truly con rageous: Under such circumstances, every honest patriot feels that God'a curse must rest upon cow ards! When Moab rebelled, and without just cause, the Ohaldeans were commissioned to chaa• • Use them. A prophet Galls themen of Moab "mad men." He tells them they shall be " out down." He declares that it is the work of the Lord to "cut them . down " Upon the Chaldeens he pronounces the cures of God, if they ehould, through cowardice or pity, not do thefr duty thoroughly. " Curled be he that death the work of the Lord deceitfully; and cursed be he that keepeth back hie sword from blood." Jer. 48,10. B,eal patriot. will not do their work by halves. if they muse fight. They will not spare, as. Saul did, the Amalekites, and lose a kingdom ; nor PS Ahab did Benhadad, and forfeit his own life : "thy life shall go for his life." 1 Kings, 20, 42. 6. True patriots, if necessity calls them to fight, will go as a unit. When the tribe of Benjamin brought on civil war, ail the other tribes mustered against them. They Coma up agairset Benjamin as one man. • They do not appear to have mine under the authority of any head; but if they had no oommander.in•ohief to be their head, they did not come without a heart : for "all the men of lend were gathered against the city, knit together as one man." Judgee, 20, 11, All their individual intercom were merged in one for thepublic good, the grandest attribute of the patriotism which is nation-saving! 7. The patriotism which eaves a nation will bring the ladies to action. They will help their country and countrymen, as the ladies in Bgypt did, Exoti; 1. 17; as Deborah did, Judges, iv. 7; as Jael, the wife of Heber did, var. 21, oh. v. 24-27. They will also suffer in a good cause heroically, as did those women referred to in Hob. xi. 35. and as many ladies did during the American Revolution, and 'also in other lands and at other times. . - 8. And pure, selkienylug patriotism will, by its infolding, expanding, inspiring energies, penetrate the ministers of religion also. The priest of the Most High God, Melehisedek, must panotion the victory which Abraham won, bless the commander, and refresh him and his soldiers, Geri. xiv. 18-20. Aaron, the High Priest, will assist Moses against Amalek at the battle of Rephidim, Brod. aril 12. At the battle of klizpeh, Samuel the prophet preyed down from heaven such thunder ea utterly routed the Philistines, 1 Sam. vii. 7-13, and afterwards hewed Agag to pleats before the Lord," oh. xv. 33. Jehoiada, the High Priest, commanded the guards at the execution of the wicked woman Atha fish, 2 Kings xi. 13-18. When the Chaldean ca valry advanced as far as Dan, in their invasion of Judea, it was the patriotism of Jeremiah the pro phet which first i cried out to the men of Judah, "Why do wo mit sail?" Jet. viii, 14. The same prophet cursed the cowards among the army alluded to in oh. xlviii. 10, and foretold the siege of Baby lon. Even Paul the apostle passed the highest honors upon the patriotism of that °luster of mili tary worthies named in Bab. xi. 32-85. But, al though ministers of religion should be the purest and most valiant of all patriote, y et their chief bueiness, when " war is prepared , " is to preach, pray, and " wrap between the porch and the itltar," Joel ii. xvi. 17, oh. iii. 14. They should plead most earnestly for God's mercy upon the land. Thus, my fellow-eitieens, I have given you a few of the ingredients included in that kind of patriot ism which, wherever or whenever found in a peo ple, never failed, ultimately, to save the nation it defended. I will oonolude with a few remarks by way of application. And 1. Let our aim in war be the procuration of solid and permanent peace. War is a great evil, bet, if honorably conducted, not so great an evil as the loss of a nation's liberty, or national demoralisa tion or a national Boandaloue paaoe. 2, Remember war is 'Awful unlawful on one side, and oftentimes le so on both. If begun for slight causes, or until every BMWs to obtain jest satisfaction peaceably, has been resorted to, it is eminently unlawful, and awfully wicked. 'Un lawfulness cannot be charged upon the party who, on proper ground, endeavor for pekoe, or only act in salt defenoe. • 3. Remember many of your kindred, your friends, and those in commercial relations with yen, are located amongst Secessionists. Shall I go up against Benjamin my brother?" This is a very touching question! The answer we give, is, No, not ceaselessly 1 Samuel, 17, 28. But if Benjamin ices brought on the war, and will not repent and submit, and the nation's character must be remeditessly ruined by his atrocious sin, obstinacy, and pride, then the answer from God, is, 4 ' , Go up, for to-morrow I will deliver them into thine Mind." 4. Remember that, as victory is of God, and numbers are nothing with him, that prayer to the God of the armies of Israel, in the name of Jeans Christ, • for our land and its inhabitente, for out armies in the field, and for all In authority over no is a Godly, Indispensable, and most important duty : Dent. 26, 15 ; 2 Ohron. fl, 34, 35; Col. 3. 17; 1 Tim, `2, 2. And fi nalist, my respected hearers, remember that, as many of you like myself, be ing of foreign birth and education, yoi having bound ourselves, by solemn oath, to sustain the United States, we must not now perjure ourselves,_ but 'UMW up o our oaths in defending our adopted country; and in the -sight of Almighty' GOd to whom we have sworn, and of our Ametioasi brethren, do our duty, and not turn eqwardly erastore in the hour of national dlstrefis r [This is the sort of pulpit, mettle; we should judge, of whioh to make chaplains for the army, who will be of real service in huqdring the soldiers with true courage.

In this spirit we hope that the approaching session of the Legislature :will: make some provisions in regard to the dam at Columbia, on the Susquehanna , so as to out off the water from the canal ottamootting with Baltimore. In this manner the bullies and mer chant abettors of assassination would be brought to their sense of right and honor.
