Nobody knows how to turn himself, and the future is indeed enve- loped in the clouds. There 1s considerable substantial ground for the opinion that Captain Stockton will step into the shoes of Mr. Secretary Upshur, the latter continuing to discharge the duties of the Department of State. Daptain Stockton has made very respectable pro- ficiency in the political science of the present day, and is an excellent practitioner of those talents and graces which verily go ngt without their reward under the present regimé. ‘Who is to be Attorney General, andwho is to goto France? The Joneses have not yet determined. Forricx Naws.—The steam ship Great Western, from Liverpool for New York, has been at sea eleven days. On Friday she will no doubt make her appearance, bringing a cabin full of passengers, and thirteen dayslater news from all parts of Europe. ‘Tue Faurts or OtConneiy’s Anoiition Sreecu— Tue Proeress vue Reacrion.—The Tribune, with a silliness, sand absurdity perfectly excusable in the organ of the Fourierites, and the persevering advocate of all sorts of ultraism in religion, ethics and polities, aceuses us of a desire to crush the re- peal agitation in this country, by the publication of Mr. O’Connell’s speech in denunciation of slavery. ‘The public know very well that the uniform policy of the Herald has been to give a fair hearing to all sides. Cn all great questions occupying the public mind, it should be the aim of every journalist, who desires to serve his generation, to present them in all their aspects and bearings. It was in this spirit that we gave publicity, on this continent, to this amazing speech. For the disagreeable effects which may follow, the “Liberator” only is to blame. MoveMENTS IN FAVOR OF GENERAL Cass.—The po- pular voice in Ohio is calling out very loudly in fa- ver of Cass as a candidate for the next Presidency. Mr. Vas Buren has no chance in that State, and 1n Pennsylvania and Indiana he will also find the star of Cassin the ascendant. A great mass meeting is soon to be held in Columbus for the purpose of making a decided demonstration in Cass’s favor.— Many of the leading democrats in Ohio have ap- pended their names to the circular summoning this great gathering of the forces, the spirit of which may be fully perceived from the following extracts: Bnit is it the part of wisdom to risk all the great and fun- Camental principles of the Democratic party, upon the fortunes of an individual whose suceess, in the event of his nomination, would be extremely‘problematical ? Mr. Van Buren bas never yet obtained the vote ot Ohio fer the Presidency , and it ts firmly believed by our most saga- cious politicians, that he cannot, in any contingency, ucceed either in this State or Pennsylvania. In Indiana, is prospects are still worse. A reference to the former votes of these States, combined with present indications, places this beyond doubt. Independent of all the celings now manifested by Mr. Calhoun’s friends, seems to deprive us of all hopes of their aid in support of Mr. 0 Buren. On the contrary, Mr. Calhoun has nochance the Wi With General Cass as our candidate, we hazard nothing in saying that the democracy would carry all these great States by overwhelming majorities. In all the essential yualities of a hero, patriot and statesman, we trust that you will agree with usthat Gen. C: in no degree be- hind any of his competitors for the Presidential Chair, and he has the additional aavantage of being an especial ob- ject of dislike to the aristocracy of England, on account of bis successfully contending for his country’s rights in the dominion of the seas. Briefly premising these matters, we now solicit your opinion id regard to the expediency of calling a meiting of the friends of Gen. Cass, to be holden at Columbus, an: iso in relation to the time at which it would be most ad- visable to hold it—for the purpose of aJopting measures to promote his nomination by the Democratic National Con- vention. Ifyou approve of such a meeting, you will please advise us, by an early reply to this circular, and state the probable number that will attend such a meet- ing from your county. We believe the great mass of the people to be with us in this matter, and that if suitable steps be taken for the development of public opinion, there can be no doubt as to the result. AccerTaBLe —Matter for a hearty laugh in these days of influenza, prostration, and soda water. We had it yesterday in the “ official organ” inthis city— e.g —speaking of Captain Bob Tyler's repeal speech at Boston :— It as one of the most polished, enthusiestic and eloquent efforts that ever proceeded from so young a man, and fur- es the best evidence that the peculiar gifts of sincere, iant and thrilling oratory for which his honored father is S) distinguished, have descended in full lustre to the The destiny of Robert Tyler isa high and noble ‘The worldis bright before him, and he bears within mself faculties and powers enough to place his name mongst the proudest and most honored in his country’s history. it isnot singular that to ayoung, fiery, and chivalric pirit like Mr. Tyler’s, the cause of poor unhappy Ireland should have appealed with extraordinary force. With that benevolence, expansive as the sunshine, which is one of the most glorious attributes of his nature, he could not look unmoved upon the struggles of that wretched yet noble land.

To-mor- - ne New York, Wednesday, June 28, 1843. Annvat Corporation Excursion To Ranpatt’s IsLanp.— Yesterday was the day appointed for the annual excursion to Randall’s Island. This Island, itis well known, is a corporation speculation—for they gave some $60,000 or $70,000 for the island, accerding to the bequest or will of Mr. Randall, the original proprietor. Mr. Thomas Bell is the present very polite and worthy lessee ofthe island, for which he pays annually the sum ef $800 per annum. We advise the Common Council to look about the East River,and see if they cannot find some other islands to purchase, elways provided they produce good cherries: But, as we were saying, yesterday was the day set apart for the annual visit which the Common Coun. cil, by the invitation of the lessee, pays to the afore- said island. It was very quietly whispered about among the chosen tew that Alderman Hatfield’s Dry Dock Omnibuses would be ready at one o’clock in front of the City Hall. Accerdingly, at that hour the members of the Common Council, together with the Alms House Commissioners, and quite a num- ber of ladies, with some children, were ready to eater the omnibuses which were provided for their reception. Among ihe party we noticed the following Alder- men, cx-Aldermen, and Assistant Aldermen :—Hi field, who was rather the king of the party; Lee, Who is next in size and importance; Woodhull, the minority prince; Scoles, who was happy with the ladies. But we cannot get on in this way, so here they come: Brady, W. Dodge and ladies—indeed most of the gentlemen were accompanied by ladies, and some of them very handsome, too—Nichols, Rawson, Dunning, Vandervoort, Brevoort, Seaman, Alderman Hart of the 18th ward, Nash, the Hon. M. G. Leonard, M. C., Patterson, Emmans, Ward, Smith, ex-Alderman of the 13th, Assistant Street Commissioner Waterman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Dougherty, Saml. Jones Willis, Clerk of the Board of Aldermen, Dr. Bartol, Clerk of the Board of Assistants, Mr. Comtroller Smith, Mr. Deputy Comptroller Young, and various others, whose names we cannot recall. We must not for- get to mention, however, that the Common Coun- cil, including the ladies, who were allowed to vote on this occasion per se, appointed Alderman Hatfield to be the captain of the party, and John Jones, of New York,to be the official clerk to record the pro- ceedings. The omnibusses were duly freighted, including the ladies and children, and the baskets, and every thing else that could hold cherries, and away we went to the tune— “And were all picking, pick, pick, picking. ‘And were all picking ripe cherrieson the ile.” Nothing specially worthy of notice occurred, with the exception of the excessive heat, until we arrived at the foot of 125th street, upon the banks of the East river, opposite Randall’s Island. Here the only means thatpresented of crossing over, was an old scow, which beggars all description. There were about 100 of the whole party, and asthe scow would not accommodate but fifty, the remainder of the party had to get over the best way they could.— The tide was sitting very strongly up the stream, and the wind was also blowing strong in the same direction. Alderman Nicols said he understood navigation right well, having studied the science in Canal street agreat many years ago—he was ac- cordingly allowed to take the helm, that is, the oar. But no sooner had we cast oft from the shore, than the current took usall very rapidly up toward Harlem Bridge,which was two miles above Randall’s Island. Ald. Nichols insisting all the while that we were go- ing directly for the other shore. Everybody else, however, saw that this course would take us to Harlem Bridge. By this time the scow began to make water, and all hands were ealled to the pumps, but no pumps could be found. The ladies were of course alarmed, although such of them as were notsea-sick behaved with great propriety and presence of mind. “This will never do,” said Alderman Ward; ‘‘we shall all go to the bottom’—whereupon he seized an oar, and pulled away most lustily, to the great relief of the ladies—but unfortunately pulled the wrong way, as not unfrequently happens with those who pull one way and row another. Alderman Ward’s rowing the wrong way, in addition to Al- derman Nichols’ steering the scow up stream, when he ought to have steered her across the stream, would certainly have sent the whole party to Davy Jones’s (not John Jones’) locker,had not Alderman Ward just at the very nick of time, when all were expecting to go to the bottom, broke his oar. It is impossible to describe the scene of confu- sion which ensued. The distressed situation of the scow was however seen, and boats put off to the relief of the party—and some on broken pieces of the scow, and some in one way, and some in another, gottoland. Thirty-nine souls were saved from off the scow alone. How many were lost we have not heard. On arriving at Mr. Bell’s establishment every thing was in readiness—brandy, wine, crackers, cheese, cherries, by the bushel, joy, hilarity, and happiness to the full. It is impossible to describe whe antics which were cut, nor would we if we could ; so great was the joy of escaping from ship- wreck. Although Mr. Bell had an abundance of nice fresh oxhearts, and all sorts of cherries ready picked, yet nothing would satisfy Alderman Lee but he must go to climbing the cherry trees, to the greatalarm of Alderman Hatfield, who was afraid the young man would fall. Alderman Nichols un- dertook to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor, but fell a martyr to his gallantry to the ladies, for whom he undertook to pick the cher- ies. " Alderman Ward did not care much about cher- ries, but took a particular fancy to some fine poul- try upon the premises, and so you might see him lurking about the fences witha stick in his hand.— He fell upontwo very black young crows behind a tree, which he mistook for hens, and was very anxious to ascertain when they would lay eggs again. As they were young cocks, it was difficult for Mr. Bell to satisfy him, and the subject was finally referred to the Committee on Arts, Sciences, and Schools, of which Alderman Woodhull is Chairman, from whom a lucid report may be ex- pected. As for Aldermen Leonard and Seaman, they found infinite amusement in the dairy yard when they dis- covered two dozen splendid cows, which sup- ply the Corporation tea table at six cents a quart, pure milk, there being no Croton water at Randall’s Island. Alderman Leonard thought an immense saving might be made ifthe Common Council weuld only go up te the Island and take the milk originally in the natural way. As for Alderman Smith, the only remark we heard him make was, that he tried very hard to behave himself with propriety. Alderman Hart, of the 18th ward, who still holds over to the great disappoint- ment of the next in succession, made himself very useful in carrying lemonade to the ladies. He never drinks lemonade himself. The firet regular toast, proposed by Alderman Lee, was to the abundant hospitalities of Mr. Bell, the lessee. The next regular toast was to John Jones, of New York, who gave the Honorable the Corpo- | ration ot the City of New York--to which, in the absence of his Honor the Mayor, Alderman Lee re- | sponded in a very neat and pithy speech. | In fine, everything passed ofl with the most un- | bounded happiness to all and singular present, and | all left the island wishing that cherry time would | come once a month the year round. Tue Next Coneness.—Elections have already been held in ten States, for members of the next House of Representatives. The remaining States hold their elections as follows: — Mis i a 7; Mississippi, Monday in Angust, 10: 10; Illinois, first Mon Thursday in August, Le 4; Kentucky, first Monday in August, ngust, 7; Tennessee, first Vermont, first Tuesday Tuesday in Septem) Jand, fir day in Ovtober, 6; Michigan, fir mi in Ccvober, 3; New Jersey, second Tuesday in October, 6; Penosylvaua, second Tuesday in October, 24; Ohio, second Tuesday in October, 21; Rhode Island, undeter- mined, % Tote, 14 Hawkers anv Peptars. en men feel deeply they will speak strongly, especially where they have pecuaiary and personal interests involved; and this is possibly the position of “A Mechanic of the Fourth Ward,” who has forwarded to us a commu- Rication on the evil of hawking and peddling. With creat justice in the cause which he espouse, harsh terms may be ill-timed and inappropriate, though the provocation to intemperance of expres sien is so great as to mitigate its culpability. We nevertheless allow him to state.his own case, and urge it in his own way, which he does as fol- lows: — Mr, Eprron— ‘There appears to exist among our mechanics and regular dealers, an association of feeling and true interests to break up this unlawful and pernicious system of traffic; and from what has already ap- peared before the public, I should judge had pro- ceeded from a strong body of our citizens, who seem determined to eradicate the evil. Itis a source of extreme gratification to myself to witness this concerted acti as it was only by union that we secured our né | independence. The editers of several of our popular daily journals have also enlist- ed their powerful aid to sustain the justice and the demands of our hard-working mechanic, who toils all night and all day to support himself, his wife and his little ones, who are dependent upon his exertions for all the enjoyments and comforts of life. And the dealers in merchandize of every description also have just cause to enter their complaint to the ta- thers of our city for suffering so great a nuisance to exist among us. This growing curse upon our me- chanies, and dealers in every kind of goods, wares and merchandize, | would intorm you, 1s not sufler- ed in any city of our whole Union. But here, in the city of New York, here they congregate trom the four quarters of the earth, take their stand in front of our very stores and dwellings, display their trumpery and stolen goods in full view to the multi- tude, and, without having a license, commence business. The store keeper dares not affront them, nor the police to remove them. One is afraid of the mob, that loves excitement, and the other of his office, tor fear of losing it. The Alderman and his Assistant wink at the violator of the law. Conse- quently it opens a wide avenue for all to continue on in their business until the free and independent mechanic and merchant of our city steps up fearlessly and boldly and demands of our authorities a complete renovation throughout.— There appears to be only a complaint against selling goods on our side walks, some ignoramuses fre- quently express. Iam daily an eye witness of hawkers and pedlars selling articles of dry goods from covered top wagons, owned by English im- porting merchants in Pearl street, who 1am inform- ed have at least a dozen or more constantly in ac- tion in this city and around the country, without any license; also hawkers of tin and wooden ware hanging on their arms and shoulders for display— gloves, hosiery and suspenders by the arm full— coats, pantaloons and vests thrown over their backs —hats and shoes in baskets—watches and jewelry in trunke—hardware and cutlery in cases—station- eryand ink in small bundles—crockery and glass- ware in market baskets—and every thing, be the same more or less, the original property of some hardworking mechanic or storekeeper who has been so unfortunate as to be robbed by some scoundrel who finds his support in this class of men. Ican also enumerate among this class of itinerent deal- ers, men who have no habitation or name—here to- day and oft to-morrow—pay no license, rent or tax- es—support no families—feel no interest in, the wel- fare of our country, and who are the main instru- ments of all the crime committed by the young and rising ‘Eeperation of our country. ps Mr. Editor, while I feel interested in the cause that protects us all, allow me to go alittle farther and goli- cit the aid of our landlords. Nothing but co-opera- tion of all classes of society is wanted, and we shall gain our cause. It must be broken up extirely, and no licenses granted ot any kind whatever, whether onthe sidewalks, around the markets, in wagons, handcarts, barrows, baskets ot trual None but those who hire stores and_ dwelling conduct business on honorable principles must be enceur- aged and sustained. A Mecnanic or THE Fourta Warp. On the subject on which our correspondent feels so intensely, we may say for his consolation that the Common Council have taken steps which may lead to a mitigation of the existing evils. Commit- tees of the two Boards have been appointed to di- gest an ordinance which shall protect the legitimate trader, and committee from the Mechanics and Traders Association, has been delegated to confer with them on the question which so vitally affects their interests. Facts and argumeuts in that quarter, then, may aid the cause, and to that body we com- mend the letter of ovr correspondent. Exce.Lent.—Mr. George Jamieson’s representa- tion of the part of Martin Heywood, inthe thrilling play of the “Rent Day” at the Park, last evening. Spirited, forcible, and juatly conceived throughout. Nrsto’s.—That most pleasing of Auber’s operas Ie Domino Noir, is to be performed thisevening, and again will Mlle. Calvé charm her auditors by her admirable execution of some of the most bril- liant airs ever penned by composer, in L’Eclair ; she has astonished the musical community by the force and energy of her style in the ‘* Black Do. mino;” she delights by the ease and grace with which she sings the songs of Angele; the efficient manner in which she is sustained by Madame Le- court, Messrs. Lecourt, Richer, and Bernard, and the superior manner with which the music is per- formed will ever render this epera a favorite with the public. As Bowery AMPHITHEATRE.—The beautiful panto- mimic act entitled the Sprite of the Silver Shower produced at this establishinent should be witnessed by allthe lovers of equestrian performances. The little Miss McFarland is certainly a prodigy, and the feats of Master Glenroy is astonishing. Laver rrom Mexico.—By the arrival of the brig Petersburg, Capt. Larkins, from Vera Cruz, we have received our files of the “‘ El Siglo Diez y Neuve” to the 30th of May inclusive. We find nothing very interesting or important. Santa Anna stands ona tottering foundation. His administration must very soon be brought to a close amidst violence and blood. Three thousand Indians, and one thousand troops, have besieged Chilapa. Gen. Braro writes the Mexican Secretary of War, that he cannot aid the besieged, ashe has only two hundred men under his command. Mexico is in a very unsettled state, riots and out- breaks are continually taking place, all through the interior of the country. The yellow fever has disappeared from Guayaquil. The quarantine is removed from versels coming from that port to Mexican ports. Later From Havana.—By the arrival of the brig Hayne, at Charleston, we have received advices down to the 17th inst. Our files contain nothing of importance. Bull fights were the order of the day.— Feur glorious fellows fell,but before the fatal thrust, well did they give battle, and four dead horses, four others badly gored, and a picador crushed between the palings and a dying horse so badly, that it is doubtful if he will recover, attest how well the in. domitable fought. There had been three execu- tions within the last fortmght, and an equal number of azotados, or whipped. These punishments were all within one month after the committal of the of- fences. There were ramors of negro disturbances in the islands of Jamaica and St. Domingo. Of busi- ness in general, the “* Noticioso” says: — “€ gee our statistics of commerce for the month of May last with that of the same month for the year pre- vious, will be seen hew iil founded are the croakings of our Peninsular friends of the press. The exports of sugar are 134 per cent more; molasses 21 per cent; brandy 22 percent; cigars 26 do; coffee 63 do; wax $0 do; honey 200 do; leat tobacco 332 do—while our imports present a pic- ture no less flattering, viz.: a total increase of $99,200 37}. The increase on export duties is $17,637 624; while on the imports the deficit is only the trifling sum of $1,852 424.” Later prom Porr au Prince —By the arrival of the Pandora, Captain Paxton, at Boston, we have advices to the 13th. We leara that it was very sickly at Port au Prince. Almost every vessel in port had lost some of its crew by the yellow fever. The English Consul died a few davs before the Pandora lett, of the prevailing epidemic. Larter rrom Nassav.—By the schooner Helena, from Eleuthera, we have the report that on the 17th June the captain of the British packet echooner Non- pareil from Nassau, New Providence, reported to Mr. Bethel, merchant, at Governor Key, Eleuthera, that a British man of war brig, of 18 guns, bad an engagement with a piratical bark, during which the brig was sunk, andall hands lost. This engagement several of the crews of small drogers was seen by tt wlio were passing atthe time. ‘This we give as we. received it, not having much belief in the truth of the report, Tae Late Mr. ARE.—A recent number of the “ Madisonian” contains the following brief me- moir and deserved tribute to the talents and virtue of the late Attomey General :— Mr. Lecans wasbern in Charleston, South Caratins, in tl ear 1797. early education and pri naples were formed under the care and tuition of the Rev. Dr. Waddell, a celebrated Scotch Divine, whose good fortune it has been, to have witnessed the value and importance of the sound lessons thus early inculcated, apie in the highest stations by the most prominent and able men of that State. Alter having thus laid the foundation of his education, and having imbibed at this pure {guntain that mora} instruction and rectitude of-prineipio. which shone so highly throughout his whole career, he was ad- mitted to Columbia College, where he graduated with the first honor andthe most marked distinction at eighteen years of age. Even at this early period of his life, the eyes of his class and college were turned upon him with hope and expectatien, as the first among the rising young m™ i tate, and destined to occupy an eleva in her own and the National Councils. Encour- jus for the service and honor of his country, he embarked for Edinburg to complete, in th lished schools of its University, the higher at hich subsequently formed so interesting and valuable a part of his public history. Having estab ed an enviable repu. tation at Edinburg, beloved by all, the companion of the Professor, the friena of the learned and great, he then made the tour of Europe, perfecting himself in the mo. dern languages, storing away knowledge and experi- ence, and returned to Carol tthe age of twenty-two years, afinished scholarand a promising statesman. He was immediately electe.l to the Legislature, and continu- edin that body, without interruption, until 1831, when he was chosen Attorney General of the State.— How well he filled these offices will be remembered with pride end satisfaction by every Carolinian — ‘The statute book o ‘o him some of its most unfading es, and that he im; dignity and character toa ‘al position aires & listinguished for the learning and bility of those who had filled it, will be admitted by all familiar with the rise and progress of the eminent lawyers of the State. He was invited by General Jackson, to take the mission to Belgium. His diplomatic career, through four years, was signalized with success, addin; by his own fame and erudition to the reputation of his country, and earning for himself, through the polsied and refined cirele of Europe, a character for philosophic research and splendid acquirement. Before retiring from this mission, he was nominated by the People of his native city as their Representative in nd was elected by a powerful vote, immediate ly on his return. Ofhis ition in the National Councils it is needless to speak ; his works, whils{* attached to the Committee of Foreign Affairs, form an essential part of our public history, and his efforts on the floor ef the House, in canvassing the great political questions of the times, will endure whilst patriotism shall preserve the reminiscenges of that Congress. From that period, until tendered a seat in this Administration, he was engaged in professional pursuits, involving issues the most intricate and delicate which have ever been submitted to the juris prudence of the conn in all of which, without one exception, he never failed to sustain himself as a jurist deeply and thoroughly skilled in all the great principles at stake. He has gained for the office of Attorney General a name which will not shrink from one with any like position in any other country. His well-schooled habits of study seemed formed and adopted to the philoso- phy of thelaw. In the “ wars of the giants” before the jupreme Court he was at home. He lost not a single case. Such is a brief glance at the history of him who is now numbered with the silent dead. He was patriotic inde- votion to his country, airiend to humanity, generous in his impulses, strong and affectionate in his attachments, oa manly, consistent and honorable in every relation of fe. Athis customary Lecture on the Constitution of the United States, to the Students of Dane Law College, on Thursday, the 22d instant, Mr. Justice Story made the following remarks upon the charac- ter of Mr. Legare. They were taken down bya gentleman present, and have been published under the sanction of the learned Judge, in the Boston Ad- verviser:— When I last met you, I little anticipated the calamitous event, which has since occurred, inthe death of a distin- uished man who or in the city of Boston on Tues- lay morning last. Whoever considers the principles of the Constitution can never forget him; for he was firm andtrue to its doctrines, and exhibited that elevated and comprehensive statesmanship, which the Constitution de- mands of its real friends. 1 refer, of course,to Mr. Le- gare, the late Attorney General, with whom I had the Bappiness to be intimately acguainted; whom I knew not only asan accomplished gentleman, but also as agreat lawyer. [speak of himto you here, not merely to pay @ deserved tribute to his worth, but because I know ot no man whom I would sooner propound ss an example to young men entering the profession, which he has so much adorned. Ihad indeed looked to him with great fondness of expectation. I had looked to see him accomplish what he was so well fitted to do, what, I know, was the darling object of his pure ambition —to engraft the Civil Law upon the Linn ere of this country, and thereby to expand the Common Law to greater usefulness and a wider adaptation to the progress of society.— It is a most singular circumstance, that eminence in ge- neral literature should, in the public mind, detract from aman’s reputation as alawyer. It is an unworthy preju- dice, for certainly the science of jurisprudence may bor- row aid as well as receive ornament from the cultivation of allthe other branches of human knowledge. But the poe exists—and yet one would think that the public ad witnessed so. many examples of men who were great scholars and great fawyers likewise, thet the prejudice might be at this day disarmed of so much of its quality, as is apt to do injustice to the reputatior: of living men. Lord Mansfield was a most eminent scholar in general letters; but he was also unsurpassed in jurisprudence. Sir Wm. Blackstone was so elegant a scholar, that his Commen: taries are models of pure English prose; but they are none the less the invaluable mine of the laws of England. Lord Stowell, the friend and Executor of Dr. Johnson, was, in various attainments, exceeded by few; but his knowledge of eed jurisprudence was greater than that ofany man othis day. Some of the proudest names now on the English benches are some of England’s best scho- lars. But there,as well as here—though certainly it is far greater here—the public prejudice almost denies to a great scholar the right to be eminent as a jurist. Dr. Johnson has said— And mark what ills the scholar’s life assail, Toil, envy, want, thepatron and the gaol. None of these were the evils of our friend. His only evil was, that his reputation as a lawyer was sometimes underrated, because of his great general attainments. But nothing could be more untounded than this idea. He con- sidered the Law as his pursuit; as his object; as the field of his ambition. Fifteen years ago, knew him as an eminent lawyer ; he afterwards went abroad ina diplo matic capacity; and, at Brussels, where he resided, de- voted himself anew to the study ofthe Civil Law, with a view to make it subservient to the great object of his life, the expansion of the Common Law, and the forcing into it the enlarged and liberal principles and just morality of the Roman jurisprudence. This object he seemed about to accomplish; for his arguments before the Supreme Court were crowded with the principles of the Roman Jaw wrought into the texture of the Common Law with great success. In every sentence that I heard, I was struck with this union of the two systema At the same time, the whole was wrought in a style beautiful and chaste, but never passing from the line of the argument nor losing sight of the cause. His argumentation was marked by the closest logic; at the same time he had a resence in speaking, which 1 have never seen excelled. lehad a warm,rich style, but he had no declamation; for he knew that declamation beiongs neither to the juri nor to the scholar. It was only during the last summer, that he wrote to me that he intended to translate Heineccius’s Elements; for he wished, he said, to entice the American Lawyer to the study of the Civil Law. He added, that he had no- thing to gain by undertaking such a work, but that he would undergo the labor as a homage to his country. Knowing his eminent qualifications for the task, I ad ed him to make the translation, and to add to it notes of his own, so as to adapt the principles to the existing state of the Common Law; telling him that he would thereby confer a benefit on his country, which neman of the age would be ligely to exceed. A few years since he published a paper in the New York Review, on the Origin, History and Influence of Roman Legisla- tion, and afterwards printed it separately from the Review itself. Whoever reads that essay —and 1 ho you will all read it—will perceive his vast attainments in the Civil Law. You, who have not heard him, cannot judge of is attainments in the Common Law ; but I, who heard his arguments, know that he devoted himself to the Common Law with a wise perception of its de- fects, and a purpose to ameliorate them with the riches of theCivil Law; and J may say of him, having seen his mastery of both systems of jurisprudence—that he walked withthem triumphantly,the one in ene hand, and the other in the ether hand, in the path of a greatjurist. Although he might have had other places in the gift of the Government—as I have been told—yet he desired only the office of Attorney General, and he desired that for thesake ofthe Law. When, therefore, the question is asked, was he eminent as a lawyer? I answer, no man more so. Do you esk what was the secret of his emi- hence? 1 answer, it was diligence, profound study, and withholding his mind from the political excitements oftheday. To me, his Jossis irreparable. How few do I seo around me, of severe studies in jurisprudence, will- ing to devote theirdaysand nights to the mastery and improvement of it as a great science; and looking for the fame that comes of devotion like his. Such study is not fanued by the breath of popular applause, and so it is rare. But inhim itshone most brilliantly. I pronounce him o great loss, as one of the most valuable lights o jurisprndencethatit has been my happiness to know;f my misfortuneto lose. It was but the day before yester. day—and before | had heard of his death, the news of which met me as I was going from my own house—that had taken down Cicero de Claris Oratovibus, and had turned to the passage where he begins Ast leaving € to go to Rhodes, I heard of the death of Horten: he groat Roman lawyer, so se justly p by Cicero, died, as we’ are told, when his usefuiness had been completed, How different from him, who has been taken from us, when we had just learned to appreciate his inestimal to the Jurisprudence of the country. To Ceth another orator, Cicero applies the remark of Enni Is dictus ollis popularibus olim, Qui tum vivebant homines, atque mvum agitabant, Flos delibatas populi.* of the Attorney General not delibatus populi ; 1 say , Flos delibatus juris + As I looked a little tarther, 1eame upon the passage which, by a strikiog coinci- dence, expressed what has since been realised by my own feelings, ns the fullinfluence of such a life ; a life, tae on. deepjlamentation for which is,that he had had too little time to make himselt ally appreciated by the whole re- public. ‘They therefore seem to me to have lived both fortunate and happily, not only in other States, but espe- cially in ours, who have been permitted not merely to en- joy snthority and the renown of action, but also to attain the praise of wisdom ; whose memory and reputation, in our gravest and severest carer, have been truly grate(u!, whenever in history we have fallen upon them. 1 dis. miss the subject, with the remark, thatthe constitution has lost one of ita host friends ; the ‘Supreme Court one of its brightest ornam nis; the country en inestimable man, whose independence, whose putlic Virtue, whose rare en. dowments; and whose freedom from all the arts of popu: larity gaye full assurance of a life ofthe highest value to e me, had my own career closed before hi ingle word of praise from his lips, could | have looked backed to know it, would have been as valuable a tribute 48 from any other human being. * He who was called by the men of other times, then upontheatage, the chosca flower of the people. tl say of the Attorney General, not chosen of the peo- ple—Tay of him the chosen flower of the law. boa J City Intelligence.

The result has been that these powerful agents, im their new andenergetic forms of administration, have triumphed over difficulties that baffled for ages the most profound and skilful practitioners of the healing art. French chemistry gave to the world the rich boon of a concentra- ted form of the valuable qu: ew of the first, under the name of Quinine, and what foreign science achieved for the Peruvian Bark, domestic skill has effected for Sarsa- parilla. Sur stantial and wide extended as the meri and fame of the former, in both respects Bi Va prepa- ration of the latter bids fair torival and equalit. In com- plaints to which the former is applicable, t! vice and judgment of medical knowledge aud experience is abso- lutely essential, for the state of the patient and the pro- gress of the malady must direst and govern the applica’ tion of the remedy, to time and quantity. In those more slow and deeply seated diseases, for which Bristel’s Sarsaparilla is a specific, (as scrofula, secondar, fi and geoerally all affections of the principal organs, glands, bones and tissues.) no such care is requisite , itis only necessary to administer the remedy agreeable to the prescribed§directions, and persevere in its use until the seeds of the malady are expelled from the system, and health completely restored. For all these complaints, and their manifold varieties,Bristol’s Sarsaparila is a safe, sure, and reliable remedy, and the only one. Beware of imitations and counterfeits, of which ahost have been called up by the wonderful success of the genuine Bristol’s preparation, They are the offspring of avarice, and are the cheaply and ignorantly compounded nostrums of men who care not it the hoy and health, and even lives of the afflicted fall a saer: 0 their ceptive pretence, so that they can but gratify their in tiable and remorseless cupidity.
