LECTU ° On France--By the Rev. Dr. Bard, ‘The licy Dr. Baird delivered the sixth lecture of bis course on Furope, at ibe Brooklyn Female Academy, on Tarcry As uroal, a large audience was in at- tendance. France was the eubject of the present dis- oourte; but before entering on it, he made a few prelimi- mary remarks on whet he had said in @ previous lecture of Hungary, in which he had been questioned. He stated that he did believe that the whole nation of Hungary was (not the Magyar portion) unprepared for a republic. He did not use the word in the limited sense, but em- braced the whole people, whether there be fifteen millions, as Kossuth eays. Le expressed his opinion tha! they are not prepared for republic institutions, as many people in this country seem to believe. He did not think Hun- Gary is es well prepared as Norway, for this simple reason that out of fifteen millions, there were only three and a balf of Protesis: ts and they certainly were the most in- telligent portion in that country. Now, the Magyars are @ pretty well informed people. They have been experi- enced in governicg copetituvionally. with a constitution Dearly ae cld as (bat of Nngland, which bad been granted to them by onecf their monerchs. They are certainly able to govern thewrelres w: But who would that the other portion—entirely Sclavonic, with about twoor three hundred thousand Jews—were os well able, when these people had po share in the government’ until lately, when Koseuth proposed to give to them thelr rights, and induced the nobles to bestow upon them a large portion cf their lands, 1t was & nople pro- P ition, and if carried into effect for Sfty or one hundred yeers, would have e highly beneficial result. He sgain stated that he did not believe, taking in the whole populetion of Hungary, that they couis RES IN NEW YORK. vening. carry on & republican government. If all the people | there were as well inforined as the Magyars—if al! could read as extensively, nay, almost as unfversaily, as they do—if they knew the Soriptures and the ooneti- tution, which even the little childron were acqusiated with—ruch thing might be done, They, however, deserve their independence, snd will make progrest in the courre of tine.

Poli- tieal ecenomy teaches that there should be mo rotation of offices, but we reverse that rule. We should apply the fame democratic principle to trade. The wateLmeker bas been long enough at his art, let the cobler now ree can he not make watches Money is always representative, and follows the fortunes of the owa- er. The city dollar avd country dollar are not ail slike. The farmer knows that the dollar is not a waif; it represents time, and labor, and land. The city doilar is light, and passes quickly, beoause it is easily earned by artroke of thi ay or some lucky speoulati dollar is not value in itself, but is the representative of value. Wealth is mental and moral, and is enhanced by equity. Ifyou take out ten of the honestest merchants in Wall street, and supplant them with rogues command- ing the same amount of money, society soon feel it. Insurances, banks, the pulpit, the bemch, the schools, will be affected by the change. Political economy teaches how strictly the delicate springs of this society are vibrated by honesty and probity. God has made the profitable the badge of the good. Mirabeau, was pot much of a saint, remarked to his boekselli wife, that if there was no such thing as probity, men would f00n invent it asa means of getting rich. “In this view of property, we must acknowledge the claims which are admitted by rociety to wealth even although there are Many objections to its existence, Some men get rich by inheriting what their father sad the skill to acquire by gupicring talent. Some get rich in apite of theaselves, Some by spending little, and living long, Theorists have scught to remedy this by abolishing money; but the grcund on which the present position is based, that pro- Perty be secured to its owners, and it is better that wealth should be enjoyed by fools and sots than that any uncertainty should paralyze the arms of the worker.

The next thing that attracted the attention ef the sa- dience was the vivid description of the revolution of 1830, given by the Rev. lecturer. One scene is worth remembering, via, the origin of the barricades. Dur- ing the conflict between the troops and the people, the young men belonging to L’ Ecole Polytechnique, & military ‘@cademy, numbering about five hundred, were dismissed on a charge of mutiny. bu’ sllowed to walk off with their side arms.

Nothing cculd be more congenial to himself than to have an opportunity of speaking to the all- conquering ecul of woman.

This subject cannot be ciscuseed without ensountering in limine the modern theory of woman’s rights. The leader of this sect in Europe is Miss Helex Maria Weber, or rether Helen Maria Weber, Req , who dresses with coat, vert, and biped continuations. With this sect, the old rsying thst the tailor makes the man, is only halt true, for it seems he is te make the womanaiso. Bat there isa fact which settles this question of distinction, at onceand forever. God created male and female on the principle of division of ial cf the other, and both are necessary to make up eseh. lie ia the half part of man, to be completed by her, and she is a halffnished, glorious excellence, evly to be made up by him. The human intellect, in all its mys ‘Woe completed male aud female, and each is sterile rpert. It is argued that Eve was from Adam; and from hence is derived an argu- oLiden tity and consubstantiation, But from how much ofron was weman rade! Why, only from about the 1-160 part of his osseous construction. As to the ilnatured remark of woman being made out of the crockedest part of man, and being consequently of a crocked disposition, it seemed to him that, even if true. it was bul right it should be #0, for man was an exceed- ingly crack i himself, and wanted something which would :uit with his own nature. Adam must wus token from him; snd this accounts for the mes- meric influence which woman still exerciees over man. Deiween the sexes, therefore, there was an innste and copnete Giifirence.—the woman eurpasees the men in beauty. affection and purity; in the lower half of our rature the balence seems to bein fever of the man; but in the higher end purer, it is favor of the woisn, proving thet women truly is the last and greatest ot Gea’s creation.

Our election for State officers will take place in a few days, and, not less from its peculiar local character than from its being the first in order during the Presidential year, attracts more attention than is generally bestowed upon the political matters of this State, There is power enough in the opponents of the prerent ruling party to crush it as effectuslly as the whig ascendancy was re- cently broken up by # uvion of all its opponents in Mas- eachusetts. The difflouity has hitherto been in combin- ing there various materials so as to make them work harmoniously as a whoie—at least until after the ocour- rence of some given election. Our opposition parties con- sist of—First, the old whige, a broken. harrased, and al- most disbanded political army, sick at heart almost unto death, from the battles (that is to say, the defeats) of more than twenty years, and who would long ago have become extinct as a party but for two things, namely,— the occasions! sucess of their party in national con- tests, and the prospect of achieving something at home ibrough # upion with the abolitionists. The cecond branch of the opposition consists of the abolitionists, or free s:ilers, who are of a rather different description of politicians from their brethren of Massa- churetts, leaning as strongly to Scott and whiggism ay the latter do to Butler and democracy. They are a sti, surly, and rather bard set of customers, much better re- Preeenting the fortiter in re of politics than the suavituy in modo, They ere the self-styled Fabrioli of their party—the men who pride themselves on being pure; whereas they Dave never been tempted.

That third class is the whig party, which, in some respects, very closely resembles the old demo- eracy. | . Some time tince, some of our editors, of different par- ties, * buried the hatchet.’ to use their om words, aod | which batchet bad been their chief weapon. Taore was | great occasion fer the funeral ceremonies that ware thun | obser at—and for the credit of our press, | nm sorry to hay tay it—the batobet has been resurrectionized, snd is now in fuil operation. together with the scalping. knife, which has always boen held to accompanyit.

The whig editors aleo appear to be equinting in that direction; yet it is, without doubt, a ruse to diaw off the atten- tion of the other parties, and some of their own, slzo, from the real state of things. Foster, al- though an ablo man, and sound on matters of party prince’ ipl lacks one very essential ingredient in @ candidate just the present time. His avail- ability has always been exceedingly questionable, and is more decidedly so now than ever before. His party, knowing this, have not the slightest designs of attempting to carry him through an- other canvass, but will bring out a man whom they may etand an average chance to elect That man it is thought they have foundin the person of Hon. James Dixon, of Hartford. The whig managers have recently learned the notorious fact that a candidste from that city is generally the successful one. Mr. Dixon, the soi disant candidate, is a yo ang man of fair talents, and has twice ropre- sented his district in Congross. He is a faithful worker, and one of that kind that many timos elest ane ves. Ho will, without doubt, be tho oan- jate. Mattors in the democratie camp also have lately aseumed a different phase. That Gov. Seymour would bo the candidate for another term, has been considered a matter of course. Ho is a gentle- man of fine talents, and his course during the time that he has been in the executive chair has been generally popular. His party, however, thinking their chance for the next Presidency tolerable fair, will probably give him leave to withdraw, and will take up the ibn: Samuel Ingham, ef Saybrook. Mr. I, was speaker of the last House, has been ia neminetion has been pretty, = nian democrat, of decided talents. a successful candidate, on the eve of a Presidential election, bas always been correctly considered a3 bad policy; but in tho event of a democratic Presi- dent being elected, Gov.

That appears to bo the order of arrangements, as at present marked that my prediction is correct A strong curtis being made by the temperance party to carry a law eimilar to the ove of Maine, through the next Legislatere. They have canvassed the Stato thoroughly, and have been actively ia the field fer three or four months past. The plurality system effectually cuts off the hope of third party organizations, consequently, they are trying to fasten themeelves to one of the great parties, and by that have as yet, however, boen ab- results, Both je * Maine law”? parties regard the advevates o. 4s aiming to Pour the sweet milk ef concord into heil, Uproar the universal peace, confound All unity of earth, ani will besitate about endorsing their views and actions.

Tho expression against tho law in all quartere of the Siato is, however, general and decided; and instead of gaining any new addition of strength, tendency has beenia a decidedly differ ent direction. The law is certainly tho most mepstrous specimen of legislation that ever dis graced the statuis book of aay State. The liberal of all parties, sects aud organizations, are all op- pred toit. In conversation with a noted tempe- rauce man, only a few days eince, be informed me that, from tho best information he could gain, thero were not “live thousand votore in the whole S:ate ylo.” The “law” tramples on every form of legal precedent; invades the dearest rigats of the people, and strikes 8 fearful blow at the fount of our do- mestic happiness and tranquility. ‘The chances for its enactmentare growing most “beautifully lesa,” it all. ¢ have the temperance question to add tothe ex. citement of our contest, This question is causing the } most lively discussions all over New Hugland; ani al- though the people of New Ilampebire are not, pechaps | fomuch moved by it es those of Meewachusetts aad | Maine, it nevertheless has much in‘uewce ia certain | parts of the State, and, therefore, it should be taken into xecount in muking up an opinion as to our fature politl. | cal position.

Our Boston Correspondence. Bosron, February 21, 1852. The Maine Law in the Senate—Appointments— Literary Natter—Theatrical--Mr. Winthrop— The Weather, &c. Tho Senate of Massachusetts have had the Maine law before them for several days pasty which is tho only subjoo} of a politioal character tbat is much talked of, or that is likely to be, until it shall have been completely dsposed of. Thero have been two long debates on the law, tho quos- tion being on an amendment to the bill, by which it wili be submitted to the people. Tho whiga deny the constitutionality ef tho proposed amond- ment, and the enemies ef tho bill hope that 1t will be adopted, so as to compel them all to vote against the law with such a provision attached to it. In this way they hope tho bill will be thrown out of the Senate, and their hope is not without some foundation, for, if the twelve whigs shall vote against it, it is fer from unreasonable to suppose that at least cight coalitionists will not do 60, and thus the project be stifled immediately. The friends of the law made a great mistake in report- ingit to the Senate. Had they sent it to tho House, it would have passed that body, and have come down to the Senate with the prestige of suc cees aboutit and made its way in spite of opposition. As it is, I consider the ohances of its being carried are about equal to those of its failing, sofar as the Senate is concerned. Tbe debates that have taken place have been very spirited, and have gome what relieved the Senate trom the charge of being one of the stupidest political bodies m the country. ‘They have taken a very wide range, and have attracted crowds to hear them. Of the speeches made, that of Mr. Warren, of Suffoik, (whig.) against both the law and the amendment, is consigered the best on that side: and that of Mr. Robinson, ef Berkshire, (freeseiler,) in favor ef both the law and the ameaament, as the best on the side of the proposed law. Politicv, as you may suppore, are largely introduced into the disous- sions, and are the cuyente avd currie which add mutch to the pungency of the montal feasts. Mr. Thomsa Jiussell, a freesoi! lawyor of good standing, has been made Police Justice. This was the place which the en:ire press of the State, with | some very few exceptions, called upon tho Gover- nor to bestow upon Mr. Gill, who has been se long | hard. J caw him the other day, at a meetin; Board of Overseers of Harvard Univers Sezate chamber, and positively he looked older thaa dees his ancestor, Governor John Winthrop, whos portrait, all bearded and ruffed, looks doyn upon the conscript fathers ot Massachusetts as thoy are engaged in the grost employment of passiog orders of notice. There is some excuse for a whig beiag a little glum, and Mr. Winthrop is understood to have been very confident that he would bo elected Governor. He looks haggard, care worn, aud de- jected. Strange that men should take to heact so very much their failure to achievo rowa of thorns. With an ample fortune, a beautifal wife, the highest social potition among us, and the ovr- tainty of always baving that respect which talent and ‘moral worth comes! to their possessor, one would think that Mr Winthrop might manage to make a very cunshiny thing of life. One istempted to apostrophize him i the words of Cowley: — Oh ! who would change these solid joys For empty shows, aud senseless notse, And all which rank ambition breeds, Which reem euch beauteous flowers, and are such poison. ‘ons weeds But who ever heard of defeated statesman being consoled by a scrap of poetry, oven if it were as sweet ag the music of David's harp? I never did, Serainy: so 1 shan’t blame Mr. Winthrop very muoh if he prefers politics to postry, and makes another dash at fortune. ALGoma, Another Candidate for the Vice Presi- dency. Wasuinaton, Feb. 20, 1852. TO THE EDITOR OF TUE MERALD. Allow me to cuggest to you the name of Gov. R. K. Call, of Florids, as one worthy the considera- tion of the public in determining upon the candi- date for Vice President. Gov. Call was ths intimate friond of General Jackeon for the last twenty years of his life—has filled, with great credit, many prominent stations in public life—has deservei and enjoyed the con- fidence, and even admiration, of Genoral Jaoksov, asa soldier, and above all, he has proved himself te be an bonest man. Gov. Call ig mado vp of candor, a sound and fafe judgment, a faultless chivalry, and a noble benevolence, which have served to mark his career, both in publio life and as a private citizen, with that broad consorvative fecling in which alone our country now bas hope. His geographical position, in conection with his decided adherense to the compromise measures, Woul'lseom to point him out asa fit associate in tho ucxt canvass for the old hero of the yellow plume. In view of your great magnanimity and disia- terestedness, in allowing full and free discussion vpon all topics connected with the public good, | through your columns, | have not hesivated to ask | for this hort notice of General Call a place. As thero is nothing which can bo exasptionable | to any one in this short communication, ] need not | give my name; and with much admiration for the | connected with the Boston Post. Though koown | national spirit of your paper, I subscribe myself, to be a atiff democrat, Mr. Gill’e appointment was | recommended by both whigs and freesoilere, and tho whole Massachusetts press would have been | gratified at co deserved and solid a compliment be- ing paid to one of its ablest and ol jest members. No man ever owed more to the press than Gover- nor Boutwell, and no man ever did Jess for it in ra- turn than the same gentleman. It is almost an | offence in his eyes that a person recommended for a place within his gift has belonged to the press. Yet ho might have made an exception in Mr. Gill’s favor, for FES y Rent lemaa was very useful to him in those days when there was no prospect of his getting beyond tho place of town representative, and when, consequently, his services had the merit | of being disinterested. But disinterested sorvices are always at a discount, and probably his excel- lency believes, with another eminent politician, that gratitucle is a Jively sense of favors to come. Mr. Park has taken the District Attornoyahip of Soffolk. Jam not aware of any farther distribu- tion of ‘the spoils,” though there are many good places at present occupied by whigs, who are ra- gated by the coalitionists as fat enough to kill. ’robably the ‘* massacre of the innocents” will bo resumed in tho course of a few days. I: is suppoted that there will be a vacancy ia the Auditorship, as Mr. Wilder bas good prospect of obtaining the ofiice of City Treusurer of Boston, a much better place than the one he now holds. A History of Borton, by the venerablo Josiah Quiney, Sen.,is understood to have beencomploted, snd is soon to be published. I[t is said by his friends that his original intention was to hava published it on his eightieth birthday, which ocour- red in the month of January; but from some causo thet hao nob become publicly known, the design was not carried out. Tho work will unqustionabty be one that will command attention, a; well from its manner as its matter. It is not the least curious of the literary defidiencies of the world, that no history of Boston—none, | mean, worthy to bo called history in its true sense—should ever havo | been published, Ono would think that a place with such literary pretensions, with so many scholars, and with so much in its aunals worthy of being related in 2 proper marner, shuld have long since stood on the same footing with less important com- munities. . It has been understood, for some time past, that Mr. Frothingbam, janior editor of the Post, is engaged on auother work, illustrative of the annals of Boston. If it ehall prove as interesting and useful as his History of tho Siege of Boston, tt will be a very valuable addition, indeod, to American literature. Mr. Sparks is engaged on his long announced “History of the American Revolution;” but no one, 80 far as I know, has the remotest idea of when it Geneeat Catt’s Prin. Love and Elopement from the Sacred Heart, and Suicide ia Paris, TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. A very romantic account under this heading lately appeared in your journal, but as it some- what unpleasantly involves an institution, which seeks no sch notoriety, I subjoin tho facta of the ease. Ta the latter part of 1850, Miss Wayne, or Wohn, presented herself to Capt. Charles Fletcher, at Liverpool, to obtain a passage on his vessel to the United States. Saring the voyage she so intores- ted Capt. Fletcher that, on the arrival of tho vos- sel, he introduced her to his brother, Captain A. S. Fletcher, and his lady. When they heard some part of her history, and found that domoestis aflio- tions had compelled her to seek an asylum in Amerios, where she hopod hertalonts would secure her a position as governess, sho wag invit:d to their house, which became her home. Captain Fletcher, still interested in Miss Wayne, requested the Reverend Mr. Bacon, of Brooklyn, to uce his influence in obtaining her some omploy- ment in the boarding school conducted by the ladies of the Sacred Heart. She was, in conse- uence, resoived there gratuitously ss a pupil, till rther measures should be taken to employ her, if poesible. ‘This was her first connection with Cath- olics, for she was, as sho profossed. a Protestant, uua no innueuce was used to induce her to become a Catholic. The idea of hor becoming a momber of the community never entered the mind of one who knew her. Sho waga Protestant, and it was conseyuently impossible. Her stay, moroover, was extremely short: shé lft tho house of the Ladies in May, and began to give lersons in the city. Soon after she aitemptid to commit suicide, and bad actnally been placcd by her friends ia the Lunatic Asylum. Sbo was subsequently boarding with Mrs. Nye, in Fulton s:rect, Brooktyn, where ehe mado another attempt on her life, but did not give herrelf ® mortal wound. Sargical aid was called in, and tho ingisiou in the throat closed. While in this state, suo revealed hor early history to Mrs. Fletcher: the real onuse of her desperate resolution was now known; butas she had disclosed | her real name ard tho addrecs of her family, Capt. | Fletcher genorously resolved to restore her to them. On ber way to Liverpool she aj attemp- ted to drown hersolf; bu: Capt. Fletcher had at | last tho consolation of restoring her to an afllicted mother, Ife trusted that she would there forego will bo published. It has long been said that he and Mr. Bancroft were waiting cach others movo- | other jacks. Mr. Bancroft’s work is understood to be much more comprehensive than that of Mr. Sparks. It extends from the time of the treaty of Aix-la-Chapolle to the commencement of our pre- sent form of national government, and thus em- braces an important period of colonial history. Mr. Sparks’ work opens with the commencement of what we g| Cae ol the Amorican Revolution, or immediately after the conclusion of the old French war. Both (eaeaee are writing from abundant and valuable original papers. havo been assured, by excellent authority, that Mr. Baneroft’s work will, from such sources, throw much new light on the conduct of the Wuropean continental governments towards the colonisiz in the early days of the Revolution. Mr. Hildreth is busily engaged on the third vo- lume of the second series of his “ History of tho United Statos,” boing the sixth of the entire work; but not, it is very likely, the last. His fifth volume closes with the year 1807, and, consequently, hisnoxt must bo devoted te the embargo and tho war, sub- jects which cannot be handled—certainly not by so fiery a partizan as himself—without oxciting a good deal of politival feeling The democrats declare that the second series of hia work has thus far boon | filled with libels on Jefferson and culogies on Ha milton, equally false. It is cortain that he writes with a great deal of partiality, and not unfrequently with @ sort of forocity, of the political partios of the | past generation of tho constitutional republic; nor | 4s there much prospect that he will become less par- tialas he goes on with his book. He has become lees and lesa impartial as he comes down toward our time. Indeed, be cannot be impartial. [¢ would be to violate the first law of bis montal being were he to succeed in getting up a strictly impartial hietory. Perhapshe would be legs road uf | ho were more jast; for, much as mon praize justice, they do not love it.
