Lord Mahon is well known in this country by his tc History otEngland from the Peace of Utnicht to the Peace of. Versailles;" a Pe riod of seventy years; including the close of Queen Anne's reign and the acknowledgment,' by England, of the Independence of the United States. ,Ile., may yet write the History of Eneland from the death of-William when 'Macanlay'ends, to the time when his great work commences, and thus, to a large extent, fulfil the oitgiaal Idea. For some years, Lord Mahon, as politician, and author, his not had hitt name before the public. He is not dead, nor has be been sleeping. The fact simply is, that in 1855 by his father's death, he became Earl of Stan- i hope--and the title of ee Lord Mahon" was merely borne bte,him, ".in courtesy," ac cording to the British practice of allowing the eldest:sone of peed above the rank of Via count to bear their father's second title.

William Pitt heti been onfortunate, until now, in being Shown to the world by his .biographers. At the University of Cambridge, where he compietedhia education,Wm.l'itthasa clerical pedant named fretyman_for his tutor. When Pitt became Chancellor of the Exchequer, in 1782, be appointed• this Mr. Pretyman his pri vate Secretary, and, attending to his advance miffit in the Church, successively made him Pribeinisty of Westminiter, Bishop •of Lin.' coin, and Dean Of St. Paul's. When his name was Baba:Rifted for the bishopric to George 111., the monarch asked his age. cc Thirty:Jive," answered Pitt ! ec Too young, Pitt, too- young! Can't have it, Pitt, can't have it."• The Miniuter insinuated, "Had it not been for him, sire, I should never have been fit for your service." This settled. the point. The King exclaimed, as hastily as before,,lnit more deeisivelt, "•Shall have it, Pitt; atilt have it." And so the Reverend, and learned, and heavy George Pretyman be came 13 ishop.of Lincoln in -1787. Thirty-three years later, (in 1820) he was. made Bishop of Winchester,-and, in the following , year, pub lished the first portion pf the - Life of William Pitt, in - two great volumes; to which a third was subsequently added, „end a fourth was .in hands when the poor Bishop died, in 1827. When kitt was on his death-bed, in Jaimery, , 1806, lea bequeathed' allbis-papenr to! Bishop • Pretymare-Cfho subsequently changed his name to Toktline, arid' assumed the title of baronet, which he pretendedOharles 11. had conferred - neon one - of his ancestors —his eilleataorehorefete • thong& so 'lie* of pretensions toihiti title that he never assumed it, and. his successor, Kr. Ge o rge Tomline U. P. far Shrewsbury, has also &Alined it. - -The Bishop, with eminent want aff ,taste, judgment, andoomuem propriety, destroyed, all the letters addressidlo Mr. Pitt by hitovin nearest relatives, and did not leave even a single one of those from his mother, to whom hew:rote mere frequently than to any other person. Re burned all the letters from Pitt's .sisters ; a. 49 from the Earl of Chatham, his eldest brother, up to the time when he be came a meruher of the Cabinet. He burned all his own, letters to Pitt, and hundreds, if not thousands, of those front Pitt's colleagues to their own leader. Many of the commintica time; from George 111:-to Pitt remain, and are printed by Lord Stanhope, but the Bishop, in his ruthless. and 'barbaric •holocaust of valuable papers, included the draft-notes of Pitt's communicating to the King. One would think: not unieasonattly, that Pitt's private papers ought to bave been esteeme d as most valuable neiteriali by his lawn-sleeved biogra pher. The blogeaphtcal Bishop did not so -think. After burning the valuable manu scripts, which alone would have made his Lite of Pitt vrortir reading, the Bishop la beriousty applied hirnielf to disinter heaps of heavy rtibbish'ironr the Parliamentary De bates and Annual - Registers of the time. The only pert of the biography worth reading is that which describes Pitt's residence at the Univeraity._ MiCaiday said thafthe book bad the honorof, being the worst biography of its size, in the .world.. . The Edinburgh Review said. that ee the work-was less indebted to the author's pen thank! his Schisors." Bishop Tandineei first two volumes did not appear nntil 1821. Of course, Pitt, dying early in 1806, did not remain without. a bi ographer until then. In 1809, appeared, in three great quarto :volcanos, a History of tbe ' Political Life of the Right Honorable William Pit This was: the, production, paste and scissors largely assisting, of a-certain John Richards Green, who, for some reason or other; assumed theatame of John Gifford, and lifin:eoutellmee beet 'ignorantly mistaken for, or' confounded with, William Gifford, anther of the Beefed and the Mewled, political' and literary attires translator' of> Invenal, and editor of the Quarterly Review, from its com mencement in. 1809 to 1824. John Gitiord's Life of Pitt, written without • the; pereonal knowledge which Bishop. Tomline posseased, Ware largely compiled front Hansard (Faille ineetary Debates), and from newspapers. It „,,. . was intensely Tory in its - p rinciples; vehe ment in vindication of Legitinfacy,- e The right divine et wrong i " intolerant in its assertions• against the policy of putting Roman Catholics within the pale of the British Constitution, by admitting them to an equal participation ie, civil rights; and, as - was the fashion of the time, audaciously inso.; lent and even personally libellous upon Napo leon 1., who Was then shaking most of the thrones of Europe. This was all in consist ency with John Gifford's principles from the 'time of his commencing to write, at the -put break of the French Devolution—fhb history of which he wrote, in five great volumes. Ilei had successively established and edited the British. Critic and the Anti-J . 4o)6in Review, and, as a reward for his services, which ids intolerant Life of -Pitt was understood to bave completed, Mr. Silencer Percival, the Prime Minister, made hiM one of the Pollee Magis trate!' of London, though he,was not a lawyer, which responsible and lucrative office he held until his death in 1818. The third of Pitt's biographers Was bard Macaulay, who, • in 1859, shortly before he died, contributed the article 'upon William Pitt to the new edition of the ce Encyclopedia Bri taludea,"—brilliant, but, front its brevity, ta titer a sketch than a memoir. Macaulay, as might be expected from his political antece dents, viewed Pitt through a stronglyrtinged. Whig lens, and oontidorcd him, in some re rt !meets, as a statesman of rather illiberal views in his later years. Bat, on the whole, the aninmaryof , PitVe character by Macaulay is Met---somewhat generous even. After moti '<sing that his salary was considerable—ElB, ooo. from 1792, whin Greo43 111. insisted on ap pointing him Warden of the Cinque FOrter end•yet that lie died so *tor. thicalier death, the House of Commons voted: £40,000 to pay his debts, Macaulay remarks that it is neither right nor becoming in a man to whom the public has given an income more than suf ficient for his comfort and dignity, to bequeath to that public a great debt, the effect of mere negligence and profusion, and adds: " Re bad neither wife nor child ; he had no needy relations ; ho had no expensive tastes; he bad no loos election bills. Ilad he given but a qaarter of an hour a week to the regulation of hie nouaeboid, be would have kept his expenditure within bounds. Or, if he could not spare even a quarter of an hour a week for that purpose, he had numerous friends, exoellent men of business, who would have been proud to act as hie stewards One of those friends, the chief of a great commerolal house in the city, made an attempt to put the es• tablishment in Downing street to rights, but in vain. Be found that the waste of the servants' hall was almost fabulous. The quantity of butch er's meat charged in the bills was nine hundred weight a week. The consumption of poultry, of flab, of tea, was in proportion. The character of Pitt would have stood higher if, with the disin toreatedness of Pericles and of Be Witt, he had united their dignified frugality. "The memory of Pitt has been assailed, timers Innumerable, often justly, often unjustly ; but it has Buffered much leas from his ems/lento than from his euloglets. For, during many years, his name was the tallying cry of a class of men with whom, at one of those terrible ciovjunotures which 01:41- found all ordinary distinctions, he was accidentally and temporarily connected, but to whom, on al most all great questions of principle, ho was dia metrically opposed The haters of Parliamentary reform called themselves ratite's, not choosing to remember that-Pitt made three motions for Par liamentary reform, and that, although be thought that such a reform could not safely be made while tkri passions excited by the French Revolution were raging, he never uttered a word indi cating that he should not be prepared at a more convenient season to bring tba aciestioa forward a !earth time. The toast of ,Proushint-asoendenny was drunk on Pitt's birthday by a set of Pitthes, - who could not but be aware that Pitt bad resigned his office because he could Ina carry Catholic emelt: oipation. The defenders of the Test Act osiled themselves Pittites, though they could not, be ft norant that Pitt had laid before. George the. Third. unanswerable reasons for abolishing the Test Ad: The enemies of free trade ogled themselves Pitutes, though Pitt was far more deeply imbued with the doctrines of Adam Smith than either Fox or Grey. The very.negro•drivers invoked the name of Pitt, whose eloquence was never more eonsplcuously displayed Ulan when be spoke of the wire:roof the negro. This mythical Pitt, who Tit , sembles the genuine Pitt as little as the. Chide magne of Ariosto resembles the Charlemagne of Eginhard, has had his day. History will vindi cate the real man from calumny disguised under the namblanoe of adulation, and will exhibit him as what he was—a minister of great talents, honest intentions, and liberal opisions, pre-eminently qualified, intellectually and morally, for the part of a Parliamentary leader, and capable of admin istering, with prudence and moderation, the go. vernment of a prosperous and traeguil country; but unequal to surprising and terrible emergen cies, and liable, In each einergeneler, to err grievously, both on the side of weakness and on the side of violence." The Life of . Pitt, by Lord Stanhope, ought to be full, authentic, end well written. So it is. The author's lineage mingles with that of the great Statesman. He has himself been over thirty years in Parliament, and it requires a practical politician to write the lite of a %reat political leader. Moreover, though Bishop Tomline did destroy a great mass of invaltt_ able correspondence, and other manuscripts, Lord Stanhope atilt has had important sources of information, unpublished as well as recently printed. Ha has made use of the interesting Rutland Correspondence and the documents at Melville Castle, with fragments possessed 1 by the Duke of Bedford, LorkSt. Germaine; and Mr. Dundas, of Arniston, and these com bined with the Malmeabury, Buckingham, and Cornwallis Papers, added to the biographies Of Sidi:l:tenth and Wilberforce, have mainly Contributed to give value and reliability to what deserves to be considered as the best— we might say, considering the brevity of Ma caulay's sketch—the only good biography of William Pitt. We shall defer, until to-morrow, a particu lar account, with extracts, of this work, and shall conclude now by relating an anecdote of Tomline's Life of Pitt, which, it strikes us, is ,rather too good to be lost. • Dr. Tomlinejourteetnyears after the death of Pitt, had completed the first arid' recand volumes of his heavy biography. At that time, John Murray, of Albemarle street, Lon don, proprietor of the quarterly Review, was, supposed to be the publisher whose merely, taking up an, author conferred, by antioipa- . tion, a sort of reputation upon him. Besides, Murray was a very decided Tory. Dr. Tom. line wrote a brief note to Murray, mentioning that the first portion of his Life of Pitt was I ready for the press, and asking on what terms he would publish it. The Bishop, whose London antiurban residence was at Chelsea, aigned his note George Winton—a contraction of Georgina Wintonenais, his full Latinized signature, as Bishop of Winchester. Murray, who was ignorant of this, considered it an im pertinence for an utter stranger to write him a three•line note, and sharply replied,' with equal brevity, "Mr. Murray has received Mr. George Winton's note, and declines the prof fered publication." Soon after John Wilson Croker came in, and Murray, still piqued, threw the 44 Winton " epistle across the table to him. cc The very book," exclaimed Croker, '4. and the very man to write it." Murray, astonish ed, demanded an explanation. Croker an d/fired, The Bishop of Winchester was Pitt's tutor, private secretary, correspondent, friend, and literary executor." Murray, still mystified, asked 44 What has the Bishop of Winchester to do with that letter?" Croker explained the matter of the Episcopal signa ture. "Bless me," said Murray, seriously aimoyed, .4 I thought it was some Grub street compiler, and wrote him a short, stiff answer. I hope it has not been posted." On inquiry, it was found that the letter had been taken, with others, to the Two-penny Post Office,- an institution which existed, for city delivery, before Rowland Hill's time. With some diffi culty, Sir Francis Freeling, Secretary of the General Post Office, allowed Murray to with draw the letter, happily undelivered, in lien of which he sent a very courtly epistle, offer ins to wait upon the Bishop, and so on. The result wasthe publication of the first part, in two volumes, of Tomline's Life of Pitt. In ful ness of time, Croker, whoyne* the Bishop, and spared no one, told the particulars of the IX* ton" letter to his Lordship, who, beini very Sensitive, let Murray know, more than once'," that he was in the secret.

Finally, in 1851, she blew up in our harbor, and the terrible scene is yet fresh in the memory of those who wit nessed it If we remember rightly, eleven lives were boat at her explosion. Afterwards she was overhauled, refitted and obriStened, and, with the name o f M a yflower, drove for many years a prosperous business on the lakes.

Au ordinance had been lately promulgated, enjeln lng every citizen - of Richmond to report to the police every suspected person. Under that ordinance I was arrested, and my trunk was examined. • A petition for office to President Lincoln was found in it; that was enough to condemn me.

Not long , since, we were at the "right of coercion" by 'Government, when Govern ment is but/another term for the' .cright of 000rcion." Then arises the claim ofthe South for independence by the "right et revolu tion;" whim independence by revolution is not attained until revolution is successful. Now, we come to neutrality defended. In a New York journal; for the opinions of which we generaby have the highest respect, we have lately read two artiples apologetic of the pro posed neutral attitude of Kentucky. In the first, the argutgent is, --that the Union and Secession parties in Kentucky-are so nearly balanced that. we should let the Union men keep their oppo nents there In check, and not urge the State , further to our side. The second article • al-' though apologetic, hints that the neutrality might be a little one-sided. Now, the neu trality of any State is defection, and of a Bor der State is treason, as, owing to its rosttion, an attempt at neutrality is an aid and comfort to the enemy. If it were possible for Ken tucky to remove to some other portion of the globe until the contest is over, her going would, be defection, but the, mildest form of derelic tion. If she could keep both contending par ties from her soil, she would be antagonistic to the Government , only. It would be no wrong to the South, they having no right there. In this • attempt 8110 would be guilt/ not only of defection, bat treason, inasmuch as her attitude would furnish aid and comfort to the'enemy. To take up arms against the Government would, of course, be the moat flagrant treasoti. 4.-3 Kentucky cannot go to another•pertion of the globe, she cannot do what would be least derelict.

The Border States are brealittworks between . the North and South, ' and the South Is behind them. - As well might a' porti on of a gouty body claim exemption from.what racked the frame, as a State claims neutrality. One of the United States cannot lie on de oars, while the rest pull through the breakers. If the Government should' triumph, could such a State claim to share the benefits of the Union it did not help to re-cement? Should it be allowed to share them? No I Then it could not, in that event, be one of the United States, and nea trality ends in excommunication, the result of which is the same as secession. In unconditional Unionism, or antagonism, we must eventually stand arrayed. - The Unionism that is not Union through all the results that follow the adoption of the creed is not worth anything. Officers who resigned lately, in the anticipation of the se cession of their State, wish to return. In what respect are they better than those who resigned and were not mistaken in the seces sion of tbeie States? If the former were right, ho has State seceded been every . offic er Shall who they be resigned because is permitted to return because their State did not happen to go?

Such men ae those whom we have alluded are not the less traitors be cause they were mistaken in supposing that their States would secede; nor a State much lets traitorous because it is engaged in a mild form of treason, yclopt neutrality.

When a body of armed men is mustered in military array for 0 hostile purpose, every step which any one of them takes in execution of this purpose le an set of levying war. Merely cruising in an armed TOad., with ,a hostile plume, is 'levying war, though the cruiser: may not en counter a single vessel.. The e x cuse of compultion " is admitted only in favor of parties forced under a personal fear of death into the hostile sonde*, Who quit it afterward@ as soon as they Can, Any act in giving aid and comfort to, which, if afforded to foreign public enemies would constitute a treasonable adherence, will, when afforded' to rebels or insurgents, constitute an act of treason in 'levying war. There can be no mere 110009.01196 of • accomplices; all partioipants are alike, in law, , principals in guilt. Giving to enemies aid 'and comfort is a aped& cation of methods of treasonable adherence to elite mien. The examples of such adherence usually stated are, aooepttng commissions in their aryls* for hostile purposes, and furnishing supplies or in-. tellisence to promote such purposes. Though inch intelligence or supplies have been intercepted without having . reached their destine don, as haying . benefited in any manner the ene my, the offence is consummated if they have been placed in a course of transmission to the enemy. These are, perhaps, the only treasons of which the - commiesion in this district may be apprehecded as in any degree probable. They may be committed at any distareefrom the seat of actual or intended hostilities. , If treason of this or any other kind bee been amt. mined, it may be prosecuted in any district within Which any one act in part exeCteltille of it has hien performed. But, a mere non executed purpose to commit an act of treason, without any step taken in performance of it, is 110 t a criminal offence. Thus, Judge Washington was of opinion that carry ing provisions towards enemies, with an intention to supply them, would be treason, though the pur pose were frustrated.; but that merely going on an expedition for the - purpose of peaceably par• chasing provisions, in order that enemies might .afterwards be supplied with them, was not treason. - Judge C. then went on to refer to the terrille re- Omer of IllOrMooo of human vietims furnished by European , history, through the looseness end maisertainty of the crime of treason, "To avoid itioh evils, the language of the Constitution of the United States excludes from the defiuition of trea son all 111/otl Intents, plots, and rionspiratee to vio late the dirty, Mallegiance as have not beep is part at last executed."- • "Evidenbee ef sloths conspiracies or intent, may sometimes, indeedi to define the character of ants, as to afford proof 'Warthey amount either to lave lug war or adhering to enemies. But, unless an act clone kind or the other has been performed, no accumulations of such evidence can suffice to sus tain a prosecution for treason.'; - . " The Supreme Court, through Chief Justice Marshall, have said that, however degitious may be the crime of conspiring to subvert by force the Government of our country, such conspiracy is not. treason. To conspire to levy war, and actu ally to levy war, are distieot " All (mations under this head mat be consi dered with calmness and caution.
