Vre Tagus And The Wter I Or, Notes Of Tr...
VRe Tagus and the Wter i or , Notes of Travel in Portugal , Spain , and Italy , tn 1850 . By W . E . Baxter . 2 Vols . London : Bentley . Is the present state of the Continent , everything calculated to tferow light upon the actual state of the people , attel of public feeling , is peculiarly interesting ; and *&<* , m addition , it is remembered that strawcta ^ rfrl persevering efforts are made in this country feifcSs'tore Papal supremacy , a book , which describes & e ' existing condition of three purely Koman Catholic % 6 'hatries , will natnra / Jy be readVith deep interest . § fr , Baxter possesses the advantage of having travelled in many parts of Europe , and of being
familiar with tho olddr portions of the United States . He thus brings to & s examination of the social status of a new field e £ observation , a standard of comparison , and a test derived from the observation and study of other social , economical , and political circumstances , thaa those immediately under his notice . This description of knowledge enables a man to see more of tho real life , as well as the peculiarities of ithe people , among whom he sojourns for the time "being ; and to bring out these facts forcibly before the mind of the reader . The eye of the traveller must he educated t o see well ; and unless it he so , ho may travel from Dan to Beeraheba and see nothing '—= at all events , nothing that is worth narrating to another .
Although Mr . Baxter is a Protestant with very decided opinions on many political and economical questions , there does not appear to be any reason to suppose Itis predilections hare induced him unduly to sh ** c tbe picture he presents of these Roman CaiiRg-o countries . The statements ho makes of tberr condition are most melancholy . Everywhere , araikx the rule of the Austrian , the Bourbon , aud the E * , ho found poverty and discontent . But what
< can be expected of countries where , as in Portugal , 'there are absolutely no roads ? The mere fact carries ' us back to the dark ages , and demonstrates that the ' material rule of the Priesthood is as injurious as Itheir political and religious supremacy . Within tho 'last thirty or forty yeats Portugal must have retro" graded ; for , surely * ^ 'ben the Duke of Wellington was at Torres Vesas he must have had better roads for the traa «> ortt ? t men and munitions than this : —
At t $ 0 s VfBn £ e fte left tho cultivated district to cross bare gfasarjrliWiS v vyu a paved track so rugged and foil of dangers fesfcslhat'our postillions frequently diverged from it to seek a smoother way over the fields . No words can eorweytocivilized cars any adequate idea of the execrable math , over which four hardy horses dragged our vehicle at the-rste'of two and three quarter miles an hour to Torres Tedraj . "Sometimes we descended an inclined plane , more dike a'timber slide than anything else ; sometimes the horses scrambled like cats up a ormpiau ; sometimes the wheels
settled down into deep holes , out of which violent efforts * wcre required to drag them , and at others we were jolted over huge bxulders and shelves of rock , until every bone in « onr bodies ached . Many mule-paths in Switzerland are -well made in comparison with this high road between liishon and Oporto . I would rather ride forty miles on the mountains of Scotland than ten on the leading thoroughfare *? Portugal , How Antonio managed to hold on , 110 man can tell . At the termination of the journey he complained of innumerable bruises .
The portion of the work which relays to Ital y fully ' bears out the statement of M . Alazzini at the 'conversazione of the Friends of Italy , reported in Jast week ' s * Star . ' Everywhere , and in every circle ¦ of society , Mr . Baxter found a general detestation of Hhe Austrians , tha French , the King of Naples , and of the Pope , though the last is looked upon as the Hool of others . Mr . Baxter is of opinion that this "feeliair is affecting religious belief , and that when the
Italians find an opportunity to throw off the foreign yoke , they will at the same time sweep away the Papacy . The superstitions practices and the gross immorality of the priests , have rendered great numbers of the people infidel . The Church which claimed from them a belief in its infallibility , having beeaetscovered to beahugo imposture , they " have lost & 4 t $ i in everything else . An Italian gentleman vtftli whom Mr , Baxter travelled , forcibly expressed wie way is which religious men are affected : —
I wae struck by the effect which political grievances had produced npes tbe mind of this patriotic man . " I am a R-iman Cnfeolic , " ho said ; " but when I see the Pope iead-mg fko vanguard of despotism , indebted for his safety boftfte bayxsnets of France , intriguing to garrison Rome TVftn Aestrians , shedding the blood of his people , and encouraging that treacherous Sero the King of Kaples—when a look around and find Protestant countries enterprising , iappy , and free , while Papal countries are deserts lik ' e spam , and trampled on like my poor Italy—can you wonder , * ir , that I begin to doubt tbe Divine origin ot ' the faith of « ny fathers ?" In Milan , and indeed throughout Lombarby , there is no 'disguise in the feeling of tho people towards the Austrians . This is the state of passive resistance Mr . Baxter found 1 here .
In the year 1844 . the Corso , or Boulevard which sur-TouudstheCityof Milan , presented on fine summer eveninjrs an animated spectacle of carriages and equestrians , rich liveries , and gaily-dressed fashionables ; it Was pleasant then to sit under the elms , and look on the one hand towards the Alpine summits tinged by the setting sun , on the other at the glittering pageant which these pleasure-seekers displayed . Sow all is changed . On the evening of a festival , I sauntered along this spacious drive , * nd found it forsaken , desolate , lonely . Here and there a grim Austrian soldier guarded a cannon , or a tradesman * nd his wife jogged along in a rickety gig ; but the nobles , the equipages , the prancing steeds , had all disappeared—« one to Torin , to Paris , to London—to any place where tho
hated uniforms of Hapsburg are not seen . Those who eemain have sold their studs , appear seldom in public , and , smug retired and obscure , wait the good time coming , * n . en UajAgatT shall sound the loud tocsin , and Austria , Tfi t y eho ! d tte pol't" * emancipation of Italy , aim jri-i servea . during my previous visit to Lombardy , ™ LT felt b J all classes towards their German v 77 V !? eTen tlien could s P end a few days in it n I if ° ?» aml especially Venice , without observing en -LZ d ] s ! fte was love in comparison with the uniolS 1 d " ungovernable detestation , expressed « : ?'• t- » aa ' wnm , and child , when speaking of an ' T ' " Wo f me , Icd aIwa * s in thc P nb , ic C 0 DTey--r _; i "' *™ . ? ° wsDd with a ereat manv neonle in everv

have given up using it ; not a man was to be seen smoking in the streets ; and scarcely had I entered that , as well as other cit ' ic , when I was warned not to put a cigar into my mouth and thereby break the rules of the " Invisible Government . " "If you smoke , sir , you will be knocked down , " was repeatedly remarked to mc , Contrast the desolation , estrangement , poverty , and discontent which pervade the realms under the fatal domination of the Papacy and despotism with the state of affairs in Piedmont , where the p riests are not entirely in the ascendant , and where there is yet a constitutional government , and some freedom of opinion and action ;—
Once Piedmont Was the persecutor of the WaldensoSj the incarnation of bigoted cruelty ; now she has established liberty of worship , and a Protestant chapel is being erected at Turin t formerly her ministers approved of thatprohlbitory fiscal system from which commerce has suffered so much in the Mediterranean { but during the past year they haVe concluded a £ reo Trade treaty with Lng ' and , ttnd prosperity has returned to Genoa to an extent even beyond tbe expectations of the most sanguine mind . What a change has this liberal policy produced within tlie last fewvears ! ... Not long a o , the city of the Darias sdemtid rapidly hasteninglike Veniceto A premature dewy , out ot
, , lato that f etroga-le movement has been stopped ; ln . 1 Si *> ] observed manifest symptoms of improvement , and in i « ji the appearance of the Porto Franco , or quarter of Dondeo warehouses , quite surprised me . One could scarcely move for the crowd of merchants , clerks , warehousemen , and porters , busily engaged among bale-goods and ^ produce ; the quays resembled those of Liverpool or Aew YorK , more than the deserted wharves of a declining land ; and the business there transacted has so outgrown the capabilities of the harbour , that it is said government have determined to abandon the arsenal and dockyards to commercial purposes and remove thoir establishment to La
Spezna . _ r * * * * It is really heart-cheering now to stand on the pier of Genoa and contemplate the forest of masts within the mole , to mix with the commercial men on the Bourse or at the Porto Franco , and to see the vast amount of traffic on tho road toward the lighthouse . I had heard of tho rapid strides being made by Piedmont , but the reality surprised me . From Pietra Sante to Sice , from Spizzia to Genoa , marks of industry , energy , and progress on every side appear- . admirable roads , well-cultivated fields , silk-works , canvass-manufactories , ship-building , railways , new villas , all bear witness to a rising people—a people who must
infallibh lead the civilisation of Italy . They have no rums amongst which to meditate , unless they be the venerable walla of Genoese palaces ; but the mintle of England has fallen upon them ; and when a period of freedom has brought forth its proper fruit , wo may expect to seo all that is good and great in the Peninsula rallying- round the throne of Turin . llow mysterious are the ways of that God who has so ordered it that a country once the highplace of ignorance has become the very a : rong-hold and refuge of Italian patriotism ! Watch well , ye enemies of tyranny , over the independence of S . » rdiaia , and the liberties of the Peninsula are safe .
We hare confined our extracts to those poitions of Mr . Baxter ' s volumes which treat of the political and social aspects of these nations ; but it would be doing him an injustice , if we left our readers to infer that other and lighter matter is not to be found in his p ^ ges . Lest such an impressi on should have been produced , we will conclude with a thrilling story of a ' hair-breadth escape' while travelling on the Simplon , between Sion and the summit of that Alpine-road . At one o ' clock in the morning , I was nwr . kened by a crash and a tremulous motion . Thinking that we had run against a waggon , I kept my seat , but in a minute or two tho driver turned towards the lamp a countenance on which terror was so legibly written , that I instantly opened the
door and sprung out . " For God ' s sake , sir , take Citre , " shouted the conductor , who , seated on the box beside tho coachman , with one hand held the wheel-horses on their haunches , while with the other he firmly pressed the handle of the drag . It was a pitchy dark night , the sides of tho road being invisible excepting where thelamps shone Beside me the driver , his teeth chattering wit *» fright , could say nothing but" Oh , mon Dieu . " I heard somewhere or other tho roaring of a torrent , and on a free near me a screech-owl added its shrill cry to the voices of the night . Several minutes elapsed before I could realise the awful nature of the peril which , thanks to the extraordinary presence of mind displayed hy the conductor , we had almost miraculously escaped . Bad he not left his usual place to sit on the box , humanly speaking , not one would have
survived the hour to narrate the terrible catastrophe . A wooden suspension-bridge , seventy feet in height , and spannifig a rapid river had been swept away by a rise of waters , consequent on a thunder-storm in tho mountains . On the brink of the precipice thus caused we stood , our leading horse having fallen over it had been instantaneously killed . Had his harness been of stout lauher , no mortal power could have saved us ; but providentially ho had been attached to the vehicle only by two rope traces and a slight back strap . The tremulous motion I had felt was thc struggle between the wheel-horses pulled hack hy the heroic conductor ( for the driver was powerless from t ? rror , ) and this unfortunate animal , as it hung suspended in middle air over the roaring torrent . Thc crash was the recoil of the vehicle , when the traces broke and the victim fell headlong into the
abyss be-low . Cautiously approaching the brink of the chasm we found the remains of the harness , and discovered the exact nature of our situation . I have travelled not a little both by land and sea , in all manner of conveyances ; and on every kind of road , but such a scene as that * ! never expect to witness again , though 1 should spend the remainder of my years in wandering to and fro over the earth . The dread hour of midnight , the solitude oftho Alps , the rushing of the river , the cries of the scroech-OWl , the chattering teeth of the poor driver , the sighing of thc wind , the cold air from the glaciers , the terrible nature of the danger , the miraculous manner of escape , combined to fillmyrnind with an awe , which returns to produce a tremour even while I write . It was one of those awful scenes which solemnise the feelings of the most callous , and remain engraven on the memory while life ifcselfendaves . * * * Had the conductor been inside , had tha harness been of leather , had we attempted to cross when the bridge was
sinking instead of after it bad sunk , had the horses been at a gallop , our bodies might even now have been buried in some of those rocky caldrons from which the Ilhone struggles to get free . * * * Thc supports of the bridge were still standing , but the roadway had ftllen in ; so cross the vehicle could not . The stream was not only deep , but wide and rapid , besides having precipitous banks ; so fording was out of the question . But fortunately for ua , the conductor had proved himself a man equal to an emergency . As soon as we hid recovered from the shock , tho driver w . is sent with a lamp to scramble along the side rails of thc ruined bridge and alarm a village about half a mile beyond . Wearily did the minutes pass away before , amid the darkness , we heard the cheering cry from the opposite bank , "An secours , au secours . " In a very short time , tho active peasants had laid planks along the ruins , on which , one by one , led by our intrepid conductor , we crossed the stream . Our trunks and bags succeeded , while the horses dragged back tbe diligence to tbe place from which they bad started .
Lifc.And Letters Of Joseph Story, Associ...
Lifc . and Letters of Joseph Story , Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Uwted States , and Dane Professor of Law at Harvard Uavoemty . Edited by his Son , William Story . 2 Vols . London : Chapman . Jtjdge Sioby achieved European as well as American celebrity , in consequence of the rare combination of faculties , which enabled him at once to master the driest branches of the law , and to present the results of his investigation in an attractive and copious , yet clear and logical , stylo .
The leading epochs of Joseph Story ' s life may be briefly told . —He was born in 1779 , at Marhlehead , Massachusetts , where his father was a physician in good p ractice . After some education at an indifferent school , he was sent to Harvard College , in 1795 ; having given token of his future industry hy making up in a few months for the bad system of his teachers . In 1 / 98 he quitted college , and , somewhat against his will , began to study law as a profession . When he embarked in business , in 1801 , bis prospects were not very promising . He was a Republican in
politics ; the people of Massachusetts in general , and of his part of the country in particular , were Federalists ; and party differences were quite as violent in America as in England at the same period . He was of thc Unitarian persuasion , and the stanch descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers looked upon such a person as little better than an Atheist . His purity of life , his steadiness in stud y , his attention to business , and his great abilities , soon brought him into note . So clear , indeed , was his success to the experienced ^ that when his course was discussed one day at a dinner-party . Judge Sewall , a staunch Federalist , said to a brother judge , It is in vain to attempt to put down yonng Story . Ho will rise , and I defy the whole bar and bench to proventit . ' In 1805 ho was elected a member of the Legislature of Massachusetts , and in
1808 to Congress , his presence at which first raised his doubts of Republican virtue , and gave him a distaste for the trade of politics . In 1811 ho was appointed Associate Justice of tbe Supreme Court , and in 1839 Mr . Dane founded the Dane Professorship of Law , on condition that Story undertook the office . In both of these cases he sacrificed money to a sense of duty and a love of work . When he was appointed to the bench , his income was "between 5 , 000 and 0 , 000 dollars a year , with the prospect of increase ¦ , the salary of an associate judge was 3 , 500 dollars , raised in 1819 to 4 , 500—about £ 1 , 000 a year . The . salary of the professorship , after deductions , was onl y GOO dollars , althoug h he soon increased the number of students from 1 to 100 . Ho cannot be said to have died early , for death found him iq hb siztj-jsixtb year ;

yet he really died of over-work in the general and the particular . The labours Story underwent were enormous . In addition to his duties as a Circuit Jud ge and a Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States—which were enough to have fairl y occupied a man—be carried on a very extensive correspondence , gave his attention to public affairs , was at the call of liifl friends for lectures , public addresses , and so forthj and fulfilled the duties of Law Professor fit Harvard Collesr , *^ . On the other hand , his publications stem alone sufficient to have employed the life of an ordinary m ; i «{ when the rccarcii tbey required i * rj ;> nsi dered , and that this research could not eieu be attempted without much preliminary training ; His sort tliiis siims up * his legal and literary labours *
The judgments delivered by him on his circuits comprehend thirteen volumes ; the Reports of tho Supreme Court during his judfcianifu occupy tliirty-fivo volumes of which ho wrote a full share ; his various treatises on legal subjects cover thirteen volumes , besides a volume of pleadings ; ho edited and annotated three different treatises , with copious notes , and published a volume of poems ; he ' delivered and published eight discourses on literary and scientific subjects before different societies ; ho wrote biographical sketches of ten of his contemporaries ; six elaborate reviews for the ' North American ; 'three long and learned
memorials to Congress ; bo delivered many elaborate speeches in the Legislature of Massachusetts and the Congress of the United States ; he contributed a largo number of valuable articles to tbe " Encyclopaedia Americana , " and to the " American Jurist . " lie also drew up many other papers of iraportadce , among which aro tho argument before Harvard College , on the subject of the Fellows of the IJnivevsity ; tho lteports on Codification , and on the salaries of the ludiciary ; 3 veral very important acts of Congress , such aBthe Crimes Act , thfc Judiciary Act , the Bankrupt Act , besides many other smaller matters .
If it be objected that a , considerable drawback should be made from the Reports , since they are the records of spoken judgments , it must be rehiarked in reference to the question of labour ,: that he often wrote his judgments , and that his method of preparing them in particular cases was conscientiousl y minute . Mr . Groenloaf thus relates it as having been communicated by my fither to him but a short time previous to his death : — " It was his habit , after hearing an argument in any case of importance , to defer tho investigation of the matter until his mind had cooled after the excitement of the
hearing , and freed itself of all bias produced by the hieh colourings of the advocate and the eloquence of bis appeals —leaving in his memory only the impre sions made by the principal facts and tho legal reasonings , of which also ho tooo full notes : after this , be carefully examined all the cases cited and others benringon the subject , reviewing and fixing firmly in his mind ail the principles of law which might govern the case . By the aid of these princip ' es he pro * ceed' -d to examine the question on its merit * , and to decide accordingly ; always first establishing the law in his mind , lest the hardship of tho case should lead him to an illegal conclusion .
This labour was undergone by a man not originally of robust health , and with a digestion so far impaired by early study as to impose dietetic caution through life , from a natural aptitude for work , a steady continuity when at work , and a careful husbandry of time . So strong bad this aptitude become through long habit , that even when age was Creeping on him , Judge Story could not bear to be idle or to contemplate a life of ieisure . It is not uninteresting , in tracing the career ' of men who afterwards become eminent , to nute the home influences hy which thev were surrounded in
boyhood . Story ' s father seems to have been a man of resolute character and sterling- good sense . lie was one of the band of revolutionists who , in 17 ^ 3 , boarded the ships in Boston harbour , and threw overboard the t-iii ; an act which fired the revolutionary train—the result of which was the emancipation of the United Provinces from the sway of Great Britain . Here is a domestic anecdote , however , which shows the sturdy politician in a very pleasant light , and contains also a moral worth remembering by parents ;—
One evening ( it was one of many ) , after the family had retired , tho elder boys rose , dressed themselves , and ' crept softly down into the kitchen . Having built a roaring fire in thc great chimney , a privateering expedition investigated the birder , captured its viands , and they soon began preparations for a good supper and a jolly night . In the midst of these arrangements they were startled by a loud rap at the door . | n a moment all was confusion . Extinguishing their lamps , hiding as well as they could the materials and implements of cookery , : > nd clapping a wooden cover before the oven , ihcy fled for concealment . The steps of the Doctor were heard on the stairs , and in a moment he entered .
The savoury smell could not fail to attract his attention , ami ghncin ? round tbe room ho saw , peeping from under the table , the legs of one of tho boys , who had ' not calculated on the development made by the lamp . But apparently blind an-i ilj .-if ho wont straightway to the door , and admitted live visitor , who came to consult him professionally . As tho two sat talking before the fire , a scrambling noise was heard under tho table , which the visitor noticed and observed upon , " Ah , " says the Doctor , " you see wo keep a dog . " Upon the departure of the patient , he went directly up stairs , and recounted the whole affair to his wife , whom he recommended to take better care of the provisions for the future .
The Judge ' s son fr ' ives a glowing account of his father ' s character , which , however perviidud by filial affection and partiality , appears to have been deserved by the admirable qualities of the man . As a teacher his powers were peculiarly rare and felicitous . He loved his vocation , lie knew no sweeter employment than to ijevelopo and expound to his pupils those lofty principles of morals and justice for which he had so pure an enthusiasm . In their sanguine hopes and thirst for knowledge he beheld hia own youth reflected , and in pouring forth to them from the full fountain of his earning ; ho " breathed a second spring . " His extraordinary fluency , his warm and sympathetic nature , and his great acquirements , all conspired to fit him for a teacher .
Knowledge radiated from him into the minds of all around . Tho spirit in which he taught was beautiful . His side whs that of justice , truth , right . lie strove to rouse in his pupils an ambition for pure and noble aims . At the threshold of manhood he made them swear fealty to morals and war to falsehood upon the altar of the law . He taught by his character as well as by hia words . Ho was fond of contrasting the mean huckster and trickster in the law with the shining examples of the distinguished men who had been his contemporaries , and of urging upon his pupils that no victory was worth winning unless it could bo won honourably . His lecture-room was never dull . Whatever might
be the subject , it was treated with such fire and earnestness , such warmth and geniality , that no one could listen without interest . Ilia room was always crowded . There was in his manner thc utmost affibility . No su'jict was sotnte and stale that it did not bloom afresh at bis touch . Hour after hour , year after year , passed away , but his enthusiasm was 'perennial . Ia the full stream of hia knowledge , hia heart kept throbbing like a tide . * * Tho winged words on which these teachings woro borne , havo fled away , but the seeds they planted in the hearts of those who heard them are growing yet , and bearing good fruit to this country and tho world .
Justice Story died on the 10 th of September , 1845 . His mortal remains repose in the Cemetery of Mount Auburn , not far from the university where many fellow labourers in the work of human improvement still lament bis loss , and within a few feet of the grave of his friend , the earnest and eloquent Channing .

Tho accused was a miller and corn dealer in an extensive way of business at Gloucester , and in the previous year had filled the high and responsible office of sheriff of Glowcester . His disappearance caused great excitement at tho time , and large rewards were offered for his capture , but it was not until January last that any certain tidings of his retreat was
obtained . In that month a Gloucester emigrant to Cincinnatti , Ohio , recognised him and his wife at a boarding-house in that place , and having sent intelligence to England , Mr . Power , of the firm of Lucy and Co ., corn . factors , of Gloucester , was despatched with tho necessary authorities for his capture . On arriving at Cincinnati Mr . Power found the fugitive had left , but ho traced him to Richmond , Indiana , where he effected bis capture , and where he was living \ mder the assumed name of Baxter . With great coolness the prisoner denied his identify , but Mr . Power being certain that ho had the right man , caused him to be detained by tho authorities , and he will shortly arrive in
this country . "We hear that tho Lectures of Aiebuhr on Ancient History , translated from thc German , with additions and corrections by Dr . L .

Tho work , consists of three volume ? , comprising tho history of ail tho nations of Antiquity , with the exception of that of Rome . In his account of the Asiatic Empires and of E gypt , Niebubr is reported to have foretold more than twenty years ago , tho splendid discoveries which have been made in our own days by M .

ADELPHI THEAtfeg . Mr . Tomkins Tipthorp picks up a pocket book at the corner of Chancery-lane containing two tuuidved pounds , which he spends in millineries innumerable , for the cratification of his sweetheart , Miss . Fanny Smart . But like tho hero of the " Two Bonycastles , " his conscience smites him soro ' y , tho moro so when he finds that the gentleman in brown ; who ho believes if the owner of the cash , is tho undo of tho aforesaid Fanny , and with whom he presently comes in contact . The agony of Tomkins constitutes tho substance of the farce in which all this takes place , and Wright revels in it . " Who Stole the Pocket Book , ' * in a word , is an extravagant not long but broad ; and loud were the roars of laughter which it occasioned on Monday night , when it was produced for tho first time .

QUEEK'S THEATRE . « ' The Corsican Brothers , " a highly popular and interesting drama has been produced at this theatre in a manner which reflects credit on Mr . James , the lessee , and Mr . E . Green , the stage manager . Tho plot , though simple and easily explained , is of rather novel construction , and as a previous knowledge of it would tend to allay the interest excited by its representation , wo loavo our readers to judge for themselves , at the aama time assuring them that they will bo highly gratified , The Twin Brothers are ably impersonated hy Mr , T . Evans , the part of tho Roue is sustained by Mr . E . Green with his usual ability , and all tho other characters are well supported by tho entire company ; "Jack Ilann" and " Blackboard , the Urate , " concluded the entertainments .
DhajIatic ilBADixO . —A Dramatic Reading of « King John" was given by Mr . Frank Fowler , on Friday , March 26 th , at the Assembly Rooms , Tauxhall Road , to a highly respectable audience . Mr . Fowler , / before commencing , announced himself as an amateur labouring under indisposition ; nevertheless , as he proceeded in his arduous task , he was frequently greeted with tho unanimous cheers of the audience , and several passages were loudly and deservedly encored . Mr . Fowler possesses a considerable amount of confidence , an excellent taste , and a flexible voice ; qualifications essentially necessary in tho personation of various characters . The Reading gave general satisfaction .
The Crystal Palace. On Saturday Last Nea...
THE CRYSTAL PALACE . On Saturday last nearly 50 , 000 people visited the condemned building , and about four o ' clock there must have been 20 , 0 ( 10 persons assembled at onetime The display of carriages outside reminded one of tho Sxhibitioo , and within , the appearance of the company exceeded in respectability and nearly equalled in numbers many of the shilling days . The experiment of the contractors in throwing the place open to tho public has , so far , been a complete success . Thousands of signatures have been attached to the petitions laid out on tables in the transept , and , had the facilities for signing been greater , this method of manifesting popular feeling might have been extended much further . But a mere sentimental wish will not save tho building now , and , if itis to be preserved , vigorous steps must bo taken . by all who are interested in tho subject . So strongly is this felt , and so pressingls the emergency , that three distinct movements have simultaneously
originated on the subject . In one of these Sir Moses Montefiore has taken the initiative , and has announced a meet in <{ to be held at the Mansion House on the 7 th of April , over which tbe Lord Mayor has promised to preside . In another Mr . Oliveira has been the prime mover , and has got together a large amount of influential support . The third movement , and probably that which has at present assumed the most practical and effective form , includes tbe name of Sir Joseph Paxton , who is determined to confute by deeds the inferences which the recent commission have drawn from his evidence . The report of that commission certainly placed him in a very awkward position , and , though his letter shows clearly enough the unfair use which has been made of an accidental and imperfectly expressed statement , which he bad no opportunity of correcting , tho fact re . mains , that the chief blow struck at the building was struck through him . Probabl y all who aro disposed to exert themselves for tho preservation of tho Palace will unite their efforts , and adopt the self-supporting principle , on which the Great Exhibition was so successfully carried out .
United Patriots' National Benefit Societ...
UNITED PATRIOTS' NATIONAL BENEFIT SOCIETY AND BRITISH EMPIRE FREEHOLD LA . ND AND BUILDING SOCIETY .
A public meeting was held on Monday , at the Literary Institution , John-street , Tottenham-coun-road , to hear an explanation of the principles and benefits of the above Society . Mr . Meaden , of Blandford , was called to the chair , and briefly explained tbe objects for which the meeting was called , Mr . D . W . Ruffv , the Secretary to the Society , addressed the meeting , and showed that the principles of uniiy and cooperation were the prime agents of all the great improvements and undertakings of the day . The working classes alone seemed backward to take advantage of this great source of p > wer and prosperity . Provident societies were a
link in this great chain ; each bad their separate advantages ; hut few combined those of the United Patriots' Societies , which had been established nine years , and had proved productire of great benefit throughout the length and breadth of the land . It had branches in all parts of the kingdom , and in this respect was far superior to a local society , for experience had shown them that several of their branches would have been defunct had they not been sustained by the general union . The Society was enrolled , and defalcations strictly guarded against . It was formed into six divisions , with benefits according to the payments ; the highest receivine I 83 . per week in sickness , £ 20 on a member ' s death , # 10 on the death of the wife , a superannuation fund , widow and orphan fund , medicine and medical
attendance , when sick , benefit in case oi loss by fire , and expeases of management , for an average payment of lis . Gd . per quarter . The lowest , or sixth division , receiving 7 s . per week , in sickness , and £ 2 10 s . on a member ' s death , with al ! the . other benefits in proportion , at an average expense of 4 s . 6 d . per quarter , thus linking the various classes in society together . They had aU « a Gift Fund to providn against a member being turned out of the Society through poverty . For these various benefits the Society had disbursed the sum of £ 12 , 600 , and had now in tbe Dank and invested in the Building Society the large sum of
£ 3 , 673 7 s . 9 d . Formerly the Society invested the whole of its funds in tbe Bank , but they had seen the wisdom of investing a portion of their funds in a Building Society , formed by themselves , and thereby greatly increased tbe rate of interest upon their capital . Mr . Ruffy then dwelt upon the great advantage this feature of tbe Society gave it over many of its competitors , and showed that the stock they bad in hand was a sure guarantee for Ibe members receiving tbe benefits assured to them . He also illustrated , by many anecdutes , the manner in which the Society promoted tbe interests of those connected with it , and sat down amid loud cheers .
Mr . W . C . WoatEV , of Addleatone , next addressed the audience , and dwelt upon the advantage of members connecting themselves with a society which had a stock in band . Until the members had created a capital it was impossible for them to disburse any benefits . The speaker , at some length , showed the advantages of Provident Societies in general , and of the United Patriots in particular , and expressed much pleasure at a statement made by Mr . Rnffy— " That the Freehold , Land , and Building Society was about forming a branch , which should come within the means of the agricultural labourer . " He concluded by showing the advantages of Freehold Land and Building Societies in a political , social , and moral point of view , and , during bis address , was much applauded . Some questions were asked , which were duly answered by the Secretary . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting dissolved .

Anna Maria Ogle , of Eaton-place , Belgrave-square , having by her will bequcated a sum of £ 7 , 000 , to Admiral Sir Charles Ogle , Bart ., and Henry Denton , Esq ., of Lincoln ' s-inn , to be ap . plied to such charitable purposes as they , in thoir discretion , should think fit , Sir Charles and Mr .

Giles ' s Raeged School , £ 100 ; the Leicester-square Soup-kitchen , £ 33 . Making a total of £ 7 . 233 . Fbikndlt Societies . —The reports of the Registrars of friendly Societies in Scotland and Ireland ( presented to Parliament ) have just been printed . In Scotland it is stated
on a rough estimate that the registered societies dis-™ nn ^ bout £ 30 » annually in sickness , and that about « J 0 , 000 of tho population are enrolled as members , The registrar is of opinion that many of the societies are not proceediug on sound principles . In Ireland it appears that the returns furnished show that during the respective periods covered by tbem there had been expended in respect * of deaths the sum of £ 115 2 s . ; sickness , £ 13 0 si" « d ! yjinda total expenditure of £ 225 18 s . 7 d .
