Born in 1780, Louls Mathieu Molé was bat a child at the period of the Revolution, and yet from that epoch dates the apprea- ticeship of his Tila in the midat of politteal persecutions, His father, President Molé, at first emigrated with his son, but had the imprudence to re urn to his countey before it wan delivered from the yoke of the Convention, The father and son were incarcerated; the former paying with bis life the eminence of his name, which was the most ilastrious of all the Parliamentary names of France.

Fernanpo Woop, Mayor of the City of New York. By Donald M’Leod. 0. F. Pareons, Nassan street. Thirty nine peges of this biography are occupied with the history of Mr, Wood’s progenitors. We pass them by without notice, as we care but little for these family illustrations. It is sufficient for our purpose to state that Mr, Wood {s descended both by the paternal and materna! lines from the first Quaker fugitives from perse- cution to thia country, snd that his ancestors distin- guished themselves creditably both in the political and commercial affairs of Pennsylvania, He was himself born in Philadelphia, on the 14th of June, 1812, the day upon which the Cabinet came to the resolution of declaring war ogainst Great Britain. He seems to have had but very little education, When he was elght years old he was cent to a) demy kept bya Mr. James Shea, Mathe- matical Master in the Grammar School of Columbia Col- jege. At the sgeof thirteen, his father being absent in the South, he took it into his head that his education wos finicbed, and that it was time for him to enter upon the great struggle of life. Taking up a newspaper and running bis eye down the column of wante, he discovered that Mr. Brewster, the keeper of am exchange office, wanted a boy. To thia person he engaged himself at the salary of two dollars a week, and this modest commense- went formed the starting point of his prosperous fortunes. When he was about twenty years of ago he was sent to Richmond to take charge of # large tobacco manufactory, and whilst there was smitten with a violent passion for ‘the stage, which lasted some months, In 1832 he re- turned to New York, and started for himself as a tobacco dealer in Pearl street. Engaging, however, too warmly in politics, as @ supporter of General Jackson, he lost both his time and bis money, and was obliged te give up business for Limeelf and become a clerk again. In this capacity he war enubled to save a little money and to es- tablish himself a8 a grocer at the corner of Rector and Weshington streets. Here he succeeded so well that in 1858 he had become the owner of two or three vessels ; and by the tine he reached his twenty-eighth yoar, he was elected (in 1840) to the Congress of the United States. He tok an active part in the discussions on all the leading political questions of the day, such as tho Fiscal Bank bill, the Tariff laws, the Navy Appropriation bill, and he drew up the report upon the Naval Dry and bloating Docks. He it was who gave most efficient sup- port to Protersor Morse in pressing the claims of the electric telegraph on the attention of Congress. These serious cccupstions did not, however, preveat Mr. Weod from occasionally indulging his propeasity for a practical joke. The following anecdote will be read with interest :— Henry Clay was particuisrly fond of him ; took a fancy 10 tim when first introduced, and never lost aa oppm tunity of paying him personal atteations. Perhaps he saw rome spark of that genius in the young man which so abounded in himself. Friends used to say, in- deed still may, that the lower portions of the faces of both were stropgly stmilar, that as it may, Clay loved to be with him, to walk and talt with him, and to be kixd to him. ‘One day the two, with an old Philadelvhian friend of Mr. Clay, were going down broad Penpaylvania avenue, when theold gentleraan desired them to stop in a’. a to- bucconi+t’s, that he might get his snuffbox filled. The three went in, and while there Wood saw tarougha half opentd door, leading into » back shop, four men seated at tatles, at awork which he, too, understood, but for the prerent did not confess his knowleoge of. “What,” arked he of the shopkeeper, “are those men <8 irg regars, sir,’’ was the answer, “Will you go Olay, and see them at their work tiainly,”” said the Kentuckian, and the trio en- tered. ‘There sat four artisans, dampening the Isaves of the frogrant weed, or spreading them ou; and cutting them up into wrappers with minute exactness, and the awift cerainty obtained by practice; or breaking off the dry fillers to the proper length; or rolling up the neat segar and terminating its fabrication with a twist not unsimi- Jar to an involcte pigtail. Use brings raplaity. From twelve to fifteen hundred in # day have been rolled up b; men jearned in that art; yet five or eight bundrel is thorgbt a gocd day’s work. The number daily accomplished by the Wasbing- tonian fabricants has not reached posterity ; but they were deft enough to make the Mill Boy of the Slashes say, ‘How very skilfully this is done! 0 would have supposed thet fo much ingenuity was required tor the meking of a segar?” “Léon’t ace any art in it,” eald Mr. Wood; ‘it reems to me a very simple matter; and J suspect that any one cam fo quite as weil.” Jooked at bim and said, ‘Young man, you de- ceive yourself. Leng years cf patient labor are required to accomplish what these men here aro doing gith anch apparect ease. It requires great experience to be able . to do this.?? ‘With ceference, Mr. Clay,” raid iebowor! “] differ from on. There cen be no art ror skill required to do what ese men are doinge See! They merely cut off a picce of the tobacco, roll some of the dry part in their hands, then wrsp it up, and the whole thing is done. If this is the precess any person can made a segar.’” Cisy Inughed t the shopkeeper and his men looked at the speaker with much ocnrempt for his presumption, aud fome wonder at his apparent self esteem. “if you think any one can makea segar,” sald Cay, “perhaps you had petter try;’’ and he swept his arm to- ward the table, with a glance at the proprietor. ‘One of the men arose with a premature amile for the bonster’s comicg defeat, who ant down, saying :— “Well, I may be mistaken, but as I really do titnk it pornible, I will try.” £0, sitting down, he took the knife and a tobacco leaf, and with @ dexterous cut prepared his wrapper, then broke the filling to the proper size, rol'ed all up togo- ther, twisted the small, symmetrical pigtail at the end, cut cff the top, and hanced the well segar to his distingui-hed fellow legislator. ‘and vented his surprise in numo- rous ejaculations, "The shopkeeper and his people stared with wonder at this new accomp ishment in a law maker of theirs. As for Fernando Wood, ho kept the secret, and the joke ran theroands of Congress, and was told at the expense of Henry Clay. When Mr. Wood’s term had expired, he gave up poli- tics, and applied himself again assiduously to business, In 1617 he was the owner of no loss than cight weasels, and in the following year, hearirg of the first discoveries of gold in California, he fitted out a vessel for Sau Francisco, and sold her cargo at such an enormous profit that it enabled bim to retire from trade and to speculate largely in real estate in San Francisco, as well as in this city. But « small portion of the biography ia devoted ta Mr. Wood's private history. The remainder is composed of hie Congressional spee shes and the history of his admin istration as Meyor, up to the present time. With these our readers are as familiar as ourselves, and can form their own opinions as to the utility of a career which has been #0 closely connected with their interests. The work is creditably executed as far asit goes, The task of eon- temporaneous biography 19 always a difficult one, and Mr. McLeod has evideatly been restrained in the use of his materials by considerations proper in themrelves, but whieh, of course, militate sgainst the completeness of his Darrative. Even with this drawback, it will be found worthy the attentive perusel of our readers, Apventunes or My Covsty Suoorm. By Timothy Templeton. We have received the proof sheets of an exceed- ingly curious and oufre work with the above title, which has been recently published in England, and is about to be re-printed here. The author is one of those eccentric geniases whose flights are always amusing, even when they fall short of the rational. He delights in queer conceits, extravagant images and quaint modes of expression. Like the “ Ram- bling Englishman,” who has lately given us such an amusing history of diplomacy, his peculiar style gives him a fair claim to the title of the “ Rambling American.” His narrative of what occurred at the Ostend Convention will, we rather imagine, take the wind out of Mr. Soulé’s sails, and deprive the ex- Minister of the gratification of disclosing for the first time to the public the many important subjects that were debated there, and the conspicuons part which he himself played in the discussions. Indeed, we whether, after the appearance of Cousin Smooth’s book, our late representative to the Court of Spain will deem it necessary to give his promised history of his mission to the public. The details given of Mr. Soulé’s movements and proceedings are so. interestingly minute, that. we whether that gentleman has anything left to add except some few unimportant. particulars. As, from this brief description, our re.ders must be burning to make acquaintance with this very remarkable book, we subjoin a few extracts, to give an idea of its general character :— SMOOTH RECEIVES THE DOCUMENTS, AND CALLS A CONGRESS ‘AT OSTEND, Several months hay ‘80d, during which no Instructions from the cet came re hand, I ae think he bad forgotten my mission, and taken himself to dieting on sodawater. Thon I received a private note from his boy Caleb. io which he stated, very confidentially, thet evertiieg was walriog: the next’ tara ta the Brigadier’s mind. Caleb’s letter discovered much impatience with his position, and agcod many oly remarks wnioh were intended as a hit at Marcy anc hir budget. Ishould tell the reader that en additional cause of my auxitty was the not receiving a reply to s te and note to Pierce, in priety of mle U neropuserated ate hiss I note holding a thing ‘80 open 1 base rid a of.

That fraternit; infalli. ces, might become somemtiat Presence, many bonest hearted republians would de deceived, and its resuit_be only the illustration of an unprecedented amount of foily on the pact of the Ameri- can Executive. With «li these very natural difficulties betore me, I deciées to charter the next Collins steamer, and proceed to the White Honse; there to learn in person what the boys were doing. I wes anxious t2 know what had become of Pierce and papa—whether papa was yet administering the pap tpoon to the General, by. way merely of coupterasting ‘be effect of the charcoal being piled on by the boys Jeff and Caleb, Now, lest there should be any one in Washington unwilling to separate Smooth’s bet er inclinations from the character of the convention ty he bolden, he would heresay that the bery vert of bis abiliiies were exeried with the General #gal the je ef making bis Ministers cu} so ridicu- lous a igure One mornizg, whlie consoling prea with ie ging of soon leaving Europe, its aristocracy, its kde geraft, and its sqxabbles, who should confront me ba grandtathe: ir ‘@ monster despatch under his arm, on hich loomed out in all ils teariet the great seal-of the State ment.
