Tao ‘first contingent of the Chinese expedition has set sail from France, aod several Rogtisu regiments have already arrived in China from Tadia. » com! 1 movement of the allies will be made till the spring, when tho forea ta China will be strong enough & advance. Joba Cainaman must make up bis miad wa drubbing; but the great result of all this will be to drive the wedge of civilization into this enormous mass of humanity, that bas deen for un- known centuries given up to boathenism and all its otioas superstitions. China, us well as ths rest of the world, must gain in every point of view—religious, moral aud materiai—from the new crosado just now settmg forth under the banner of the Cross. Whether the Allies will pursue the poticy bithert carried out of sharing with all nations whatever commercial advantages they may wrest from the Chinese, remains to be seen. Thore ia little doubt they will take good care to indemnify themselves, not only for the indignities of the past, but for all the losses and expenditures of the present war. At the last meeting of the Financial Reformers at Liver- 1, Mr. Bright made one of his best speeches, in which Be'propoanded some novel theories of taxation. His idos was to do away with all indirect taxation, and to make every one coutribute to the expenses of the State, accord- ing to his property. I think Bright would have some trouble in convincing W. B. Astor, and our other New ‘York millionaires, of the wisdom or justice of this peraonal kind of taxation. The fact is Mr. Bright seems disposed to astonish the world by the boldness aud uovelty of his theories, and the consequence is that not a few of his arguments ure fallactous, and several of his statements grossly erroneous. It is odd that thts eloquent Quaker, who upholds in Parliament the doctrine of poace at all | hazards, is yet without its walis the most vebement and Debigerent orator that mounts a platform. Since the © time of O'Connell he has vo match for pugnacity, abuse and denunciation; and consequently his influence is | ‘email, though «!] admit bis fine talents.

Victor Huge on John Brown. {From the Loudon News, Dec. 10.) ‘When one thinks of the United States of America a ma- Jestic gure rises to the mind—Washington. Now, in that ‘country of Washington see what is going on at this hour, There are slaves in the Southern States, a fact which Strikes with indignation, a3 the most monstrous of con- tradictions, the reasonable and freer conscience of the Northern States. These slaves, these negroes, a white men,& free man, one Joho Brown, wanted to deliver. Certaivly if insurrection be ever a sacred duty it is against slavery Brown wished to begin the geod work by the deliverance of the siaves in Virginia, i & Puritan, a religious and austere man, and full of the gospel, he cried aloud to these men—bis brothers—the ery of emancipa- tion— Christ bas set us free.” The slaves, enarvated by slavery, made po respouse to his appeal. Slavery makes desfness in the soul. Brown, finding himsvif andoned, fonght with a hanafal of heroic man; he struggled; he fell ridalea with bullets, bis two young ons, martyrs of a holy canse, deat at his side. This is what is called the Harper's Ferry affair. John Brown, taken prisoner, has just been tried with four of his fellows—Stephens, Coppie, Green ani Cope- land. Whatsort of a trial 1t was a word will tell. Brown, stretched on a truckie bed, with six balf-closed | wounds—a gun shot wound in bis arm, one in bis joins, | two in the chest, two in the head—almost bereft of hear- ing, bleeding through his mattress, the spirtis of his tw dead sons attenciing bim; his four fellow prisoners craw ing around him; Stephens with four sabre wounds; “Jas- tice’’ in a hurry to have done with the case; ao attorney, Hunter, demanding that it be despatened with sharp speed; a judge, Parker, assenting; the defence cut auort; scarcely any delay allowed, forged or garbled docaments, put in evidence; the witnesses for the prisoner shut out; the defence clogged; two guvg loaded with grape brongnt into the court, with an orcer w the jailors to shoot the Prisoners in case of any attempt at rescue; forty minutes’ deliberation; three sevtences to denth. Taffirm, on my honor, that ‘all this took place, not in Turkey, but in America. Such things are not done with impugnity in the face of the civilized world. The universal consciencs of man- kind is an ever watchful eye. Let the jadges of Charles. | town, and Hunter, and Parker, and the slaveholding ju- rors, and the whole population of Virginia, ponder it | well; they are seen They are not alone in the world. | At this moment the gaze of Eorope is fixed on America. Jobn H Brown, condemned to die, was to have been don the 24 of December—this very day. Butaews has this instant reached us. A respite is granted him. It | is not uptd the 16th that be is to die. The intervalis ebort. Has a cry of mercy time to make itself heard? | No matter—it is a duty to lift up the voice. | Perhaps a second regpite may be granted. America is | a noble land. The sentiment of humanity is son quick. ened among afree people. We hope’ toat Brown may | be saved.

Withe more one lover, the more one admires, the more | ‘one reveres the republic, the more heartsick one feels at | such a catastrophe. A single State ought not to have the Power to dishouor all the rest, and in this case federal ntervention is a clear righ® Otherwise, by hesitating to unterfere when it might prevent acrime, the Unioa be- eomes ap accomplice. No matter how intense may be the indignation of the generous Northern States, the Southern States aseoviate them with the disgrace of this murder. All of us, whomacever we may be—for whom, the democratic cause is « common country—feel our- selves in a mander compromised and hart. If the scaffold fbould be erected ou ths 16th of December, the incor- ruptible voice of bistory would thenceforward testify that the angust confederation of the New World had added to @ tes of holy brotherhood—a brotherhood of blood, | and the fasces of that splendid republic would be bound | together with the running noose that hung from the gibbet | of Brown This is a bond that kills. } When we reflect on what Brown, the liberator, the | champion of Christ, has striven to effect, and when we | remember that be is about to die, slaughtered by the American republic, the crime assumes the proportions of the nation which commits it; and when we say to our- selves that this nation is a glory of the human race; that—like France, like England, like Germany—she 1 on of the organs of civilization; that she sometimes even out- marches Europe by the subjime andacity of oer progress; that sbe is the queen of an entire world; and that she Dears on ber brow an immense light of freedom; we affiem that John H. Brown will not die, for we recoil, horror struck, from the idea of so great a crime committed by £0 great a people. In a political light the murder of Brown would be an irreparable fanit. It wonld penetrate the Union with a secret fissure which would in the end tear it asonder. It xecution of Brown might consolidate slavery in Virginia, but it is cortain that it would convuise the entire American democracy. You preserye your | shame, but you sacrifice your glory. In amoral light, itseems to me that a portion of the light of huranity would be eclipsed, that even the itea Of justice and injustice would ve obscured on the day which should witness the assassination of emaacipation by lib- erty. As for myseif, thongh Tam bat an atom, yet being, as am, in common with all other men, inspired with the conscience of humauity, I kneel in tears before the great starry banner of the New Wor.d, and with clasped hans, and with profound and filial respect, I implore the itlus- triour American republic, sister of the French republic, to look to the safety of the universal moral law, to save | Brown, to throw down the threatening scaffold of the 16th of December, and not to suffer that, beneath its eyes, aud Tadd, with a shudder, almost by its fault, the first fatri- Cide be outdone. For—yes, let America know it and ponder it wall—there is something more terrible than slaying Abel—i Washington slaying Sperticus. VICTOR HUGO. Havrevinie House, Dec. 2, 1859 | Important from China. | REPORTED HOSTILITIES COMMENCED AGAINST RUSSTA, ‘The following iz an extract from a St. Petersburg letter | received in Londou:— | A courier arrived to day in forty-two days from the Amoor, with great news, The Emperor of China has given the Russians notice to | quit, a he had never anthorized the cession of territory, and had only just heard of the settlement.

Letters from Madrid assert that the Spanish poole, 60 far from showing enthusiasm for the war with Morocco, | were exhibiting signs of discontent. A rumor was current that O'Donnell intended returning soon to Madrid, and that the Spanish army would remain encamped in Africa for the winter. A Madrid despatch of the 8th says that orders had been given for a levy of 50,000 men in January next, Reporte were current in Madrid that dysentery, and even cholera, had broken out among the Spanish troops ‘1B Morocco. Tt was thought that the Spanish generals would not assume the offensive till all their forces were concen- trated, Official details of the Spanish losses on the 19th of No- ‘vember and subsequent days ehow the following results:— Oficers—f killed and 45 wounded. Soldiere—79 killed und 717 wounded. Paris (Dec. 8) correspondence of London Herald.} Spaniards were constructing a fleld-work, outside the walls of Ceuta; but the incessant attacks of the Arabs rendered its success impossible. The working party had times been obliged to run for their lives ty the entrenched camp under their walis, and seldom escapod ‘without serious casualties. ’ General Echaguo, therefore, them supported by the Bourbon 88 & covering party; but the Arana fel: | demand at the quotations:— Moors, from the fact that it was @ tair stand up band to band fight They threw away thetr long cam brous muskets, alter their first voll sarod oath their long sag Upon the Spanish gunners and stabbed them at their guns—they rushed upon the hives of Spanish infaatry, who awaited thotr ‘onset with levelled bayonets, and forced then down with the desperate energy of their charge. O'Donuell bas sent vp reinforcements, and the gallant Moors will doubtless be ultimately beaten by sheer superiority of numbers, but no one can help admiring their galiautry, ‘The details T have given you above you may rely on as perfectly authentic. I perceive by a Matrit telegraphic despatch, dated Us day, that the Spacish governmont Dave publixbed a garbled account of the affair, Thy only point worth noticing init ia the avnvuncoment that no uarter was given or taken, and the palpable falsehood that the loss of the Moors was 500 killed and 1,600 wounded. It is awell known fact that the Moors, as all Exsterns, carry off both killed and wounded. The statement is, » merely a clumsy falshood, in tended to allay the excitement which the news of this re- verse had created in Madrid. A letter from Madrid, dated the 2d Decembor, which is published im the Paris correspondence of the Loudon ‘fimes, eays:— Tho Serallo is a little cluster of old houses, about a league from Ceuts, which the Moora’ of the Riff occa- pled, and which we wok. , Who commanitet pag eg to fe priged by 800 Moors, who fell, poniard in hand, on them.

Thave just seen a letter from an artilleryman who was wounded on the 26th in the affair of the Serallo, and who bas returned with others in the same condition to Spain. According to this letter, the Moors bear themselves with extraordinary andacity and persistence. They rushed on with poinard in hand to the very guns, ‘and kilied the mea at their pieces. The government not nformed us that the Moors capture 1 a gun, and took somo prigoners, but the ietter T allnde to states such to be the fact. Op the 30th there was avother aifur on ths same spot, begun, as usual, by the Moors, The Gazette of this morn ing meotions it. The official despatch says that the loss of the Moors could not be exactly given, because they carried off their deat and wounded. Then it adds, that the loss must have been considerable, for the Moors hav Ing been cut in two refused to surrender. This means, I Suppose, that the Moors, having been cut up, aud refusing to surrender, were ail killed—otherwise they would have had no lors. But in this case, who removed the dead and wounded? This looks like @ gross eontradiction. But ail the despatches published in the are drawn up in the — manner, 60 that it is pot easy to ascertain the truth. The Madrid jourpals of the 3d instant do not contain any detailed account of the last affair in Morocco, but they say chat there is reason to believe that the major part of the troops with whom the Spaniards have hitherto fought are reinforcements sent by the Emperor Muley Abvas, who is still at the head of a large army between Tangier and Tetuan, to the contingents at Anghera. Oae of the jou Is state that, in the action of the 25th ultimo, the ‘Moors, in spite ot the discharge of grape, succeeded in reaching the Spanieh guns, and they fought band to hand with the Spanish artillerymen. Some of them were even apimated with such rage that they bit the Spaniards and aitempted to strangle them. On the first the weather, says a telegraphic despatch, “was horrible’? at Ceuta. ‘Tt was said that the Moors had carried to Tangier the heads of seven Spaniards. The Emerald Mines of Muzo. [Translated trom El Noticioso de Nueva York. ‘The New Granadian g)veroment has advertised to be let by contract, for a term of years, under terms which will be found in another columa, the valuable but little known emerald mines of Muzo, These are the only true emerald mines in the world. and the gems taken from them have the dark green color 80 much prized im Europe. The Russian emeralds, found | in the washings of the Ural mountains, are the only ones that compete in the market with those of Muzo, to which | they are inferior both in color aad brilliancy. These mines were extensively worked under the colonial rale of Spain, but their Jocality was strictly hidden from the world,and the idea prevailed im Europe that the true emerald was found only in Peru, where, in fact, no eme- ralds bave ever been found. After taking out an enor- mous qvantity of the gems, the Spanish government | ordered the mines to be closed, under the fear that this | Precious stove would become too common and lose its value. When the war of independence was over, General Bolivar granted a privilege to open the mines to Senor , who made an immense fortune from them, which | was inherited by his son. On the expiration of the con- tract with Senor Paris, the mines were rented by a company of merchants in Bogota, at the rate of sixteen thousand dollars per annum, but their operations have been conducted with silence and secrecy. As this contract is about to expire, the Gravadian gov ernment, with that liberal spirit which has uiways marked its policy, has determined to throw them open to the competition of the enterprise of the worli. We have visited the mines and carefally examined tho, working. The operation is probably the simplest mining op2ration in the world. The veins of calcareous spar which con. tain the emeralds crop out on the opposing sides of a deep ravine. These are worked down with the bar, and the debris is carried off by a rush of water. When indications of the existence of emeralds appear in the face of the cliff, through the greenish tinge which the vein of white spar assumes, the stone ts worked off with great care until the emerala’ pocket is reached. The opening offered by the Grapadian government to the mining enterprise of the world if a novel ove, which may produce great changes n the supply of gems. The Markets. LONDON MONEY MARKET.

Since the middle of October we have had an unusua) quantity of bad weather; it has rained at times in tor- rents, and at others we have had very heavy gales of wind, nearly approximating to hurricanes. For several days in suocession the sun has not made his appearance; and if the weather has been as bad outside as it has been here, there will have been many casualties to the shipping in the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Tho pre- vailing wind has been from the north northwest, and at times chopping round to the west and west southwest. Up to this time we have not beard of any damage to any ves- eel bound to this port, excepting the brig Kate, from Now Orleang, which was caught in a very severe gale, and for three days was in great danger; she escaped, only slightly damaging a part of her cargo of flcur. The English brig Halifax Packet, Gowan, master, was blown ashore bya norther on the coast, but the wind suddenly sbifting to the southwest, she was blown off, and was brought in here, when she was found to be 80 badly damaged that she was condemned, stripped and sold yesterday at public auction for about $1,100.

Holltster, Jobn T, Johnston, Rufus K. Delafield, Thos. Snodgrass and Others—Verdict of the Jury, Censurivng the Owners and Occupants of the Building. The Coroner’s inquest in the Broad street calamity was reeumed at No. 4 Centre street yesterday morning at tea o'clock. The following is a report of the evidence elicited, together with the verdict of the jury :— Edward J. Lowber, being duly sworn, deposes and says:—I reside at No, 199 Henry street, Brooklyn; I ama mercbant; 1 left the store about tev minutes before the accident ocourred; on Monday morning we notified the agent of the etore that there was somo defect in the build- ing, and that afternoon he sent his carpenters to inspect the premites; on Tuesday morning the carpenter bad bis tim. bers there and went to work; the first indication we had was on Thursday or mort oat Ye laat week by the porter’s noticing one of the bolts which fastoned the end of one of the tron girders lying uy) the scales, about tomo when T cams twenty or thirty feet from the place ly occ: it bad been broken off; it was shown to me ‘hon T ip, and I immediate), cellar and cxamine 1 me down stairs; 1 went lute the cellar and saw ‘wall bad cracked come two or threo feet from the the square oj }, extending diagonally to the bottom; I then directed bim to get braces and put in the opening prevent any further spread of the wall ton; aie was pve and without any. nity or heavy — pressure, forced back to its position; when he reported that closed the slight opening or crack I concluded the pres- gure could not be so very more particular! ‘any movement of floors above, which we always con- sidered the weak part of the store; I told the porter to keep a on wall in the cellar, and to report to me any change he femur tre aris its Monday morning last he rej Pre roy the store that the wall was spreading out side- ways in another direction; I made that it would bly alarmed at the walls moving in that way; the carpen- ter came,as Ibave before stated, and commenced his work the next day, about noon, and had put up bis girder and braces in the cellar, intending to brace the girders to moved into the store girders were put in each cellar to sustain the first floor; the character of our business required that the first floor should be very strong, and we had it strengthened accordingly; we at no time had any doubt or distrust of the solidity and strength of the foua- dation walls, ner had we ever discovered any indications uptil afew days previous to the accitent; we had pre. viously bad more weight wpon these floors than we had at the time of the accident; previous to the accident the floors showed no indications of moving or having an unusual pressure upon them, and would, I have no doubt, have sustained a much greater weight; in my opinion, the defect was in the foundation walls; had the floors been twice as stroug the result would have been the same; when we first leased the store the owner gave us’ a verbal guarantee that the building would not prove defective; we considered the beams the weakest part of the building; they were lighter and further apart than is uguaily the case in stores built for the grocery business; it is not unusual for floors to spring from the weight placed upon them: our atore is ninety fect deep, and about forty feet in width; the beams rested upon a truss built tor the purpose, and extended into the main wail about balf an ivch; we bad between five and six thoveand barrels of flour in the building at the time of the accident; since we observed the defect we took in no gooas, but, on the contrary, we delivered about one hun- dred and fifty or two hundred barrels; there were two equare openings in the partition wall in the cellar; one had been constructed before we came there, and the other one we had made for our own accommodation; the cellar walls were two fect thick and about six feet bigh; | think the mortar used in the construction of the walis was not as good #s it might have been. S$ V. Hollister, of No. 383 Third avenue, deposed as fol- lows:—lam acatpenter; on Monday I was requested by Mr. Delafluld to examiue the walis of the store Nos. 54 and 56 Broud street; I went there, and upon examination I found the cellar wall under the centre piers had com. menced to crack and was giving way; I reported the fact to Mr. Delafield, when he gave me orders to secure the wall as soon as possible, I ordered somo timber that after- boon, and the next morning I commenced supporting the first uer of beams with girders and stancheons; wo got two girders and five stancheons, and then quit work; hari we put up the last stancheon I observed that the stone wall under the iron golamos was cracked and split in two im the centre, that one of the bolt in the girdle bad given way; I did not consider there was any immediate danger, and expected to resume my work the following day; when I went there first I made the remark to Mr. Lowber that all we could do was to ehove it up until some of the weight was taken out of the upper floors; then we could muke eome further repairs; Tconsidered the building a safe one; the breaking of the Stone in the partition wall by the column haviog been forced {nto it, in my opinion caused the accident; it was the great weight ot the floors above upon this pillar that cracked the stone; the founcation bad not settled any, and the stone a] to be of proper strength aud thick’ nees; the crack iu the partition wall was about three feet from the opening and about twenty feet from the rear wall; the stone tbat I speak of was on the foundation, and im- mediately under the pillar; it was not cracked when I went into the cellar; the crack took place about twenty minutes before I left; the braces put in by Mr. Lowber’s porter were quite suiticient for the purpose. John T. Jobnston, residing at No. 8 Fifth avenue—I am president of a railroad company, and do business at No. 9 Wall street; the stores Nos. 54 and 56 Broad street were built for me, as agent for my father, in 1845; they were built entirely by days’ work; the first and second floors were laid in cement, and the building throughout heavily timbered; they were built for warehouses, and finished for stores; the alteration by which the wall on the first floor was taken out, and a heavy iron girder substituted, was also doue by my orders, by days’ work, and in the best possible manner; 1 considered the stores both before and after the alteration to bave been fully equal to apy ordinary load that should be put in a store; the alterations were made about 1850; at the time of leasing the store for the grocery businees 1 told the parties that Ithought the stores were strong enough for any ordinary load, but I gave no verbal gua- Taptee against 1088. ‘A Juror—I was under the belief that the stores were not intended for the grocery business. Were they not in- tended for the dry goods business? A. They were finish- ed for the dry goods business, but built for warehouses: always considered them equal to any ordinary load. Q. Do you think Metsrs. Kent & Lowber had the stores overloaded? A. I am not a good judge of such matters, perhaps, but in my option I think there "was an’ overload; there is no store built so strong but what it can be broken down by overloading; I cannot give any opinion as to what would be considered an ordinary load, or what weight the stores could sustain. Rufus K. Delatield deposed as follows:—I reside on Staten Island, but do business tn this city; Tam azent of the pro- prietor of the buiidings Nos 64 and 56 Broad street. By a Juror—I executed the renewal of the lease; there wat no mention of a guarantee for the solidity of the premiees, and no allusion made to it whatever. Q. Did’ you st any time receive information that the premises were not fit for carrying on the grocery business? . Do you attribute the accident to the faulty condition of the cellar wall or the overloading of the store? A. I could not say what caused the accident; I have often been in the store, aud always considered it a solid structure; I never saw it overloaded during my visits; always kept the building in proper repair and was prompt in my engagements with the tenants; the building was leased for the grocery business, but I understand some 5,000 barrels of flour wore stored there on commission. Thomas Snodgrass, Sergount of the First precinct po- Hee, residing at 49 Whitehall street, deposed as follows:— 1 was present at the time of the accident; I was standing ut the corner of Exchange place @d Broad street when Engine Compahy No. 20 came down; I went to the stores 64 and 66 Brood street, ana with a’ number of firemen and cfficers entered the building; the front was standing, and I thonght perfectly safe; some of the firemen went up stairs and turned off the gus; the colored porter informed me that there was a fire in the front office, and I ordered him to put it out; Idid not consider there was any further dan- ger, and ordering the offices and firemen out, shut the door; the colored man then told me that there was a stove in the rear part of the store, and for fear there might be uny fire there we went into the store next door to see if there was any; we had just eutered the building when the crash took pl nd the front wall fell out; I came expecting to find a great many persons under the ruins; I went to the station house for help, and by tho time I got back they had got officer Stewart out of the ruiis; on examining him I found that he was severely injured, and -sent for Dr. Andrews, who stated that deceased could not live; 1 then took deceased's watch and some other articles, and bad bim conveyed to the New York Hospital; deceased akked the doctor if he was likely to die, and requested that bis wife might be sent to him; I saw the body of Mr, Wm. J. Ely after it had been taken out of the ruins, and had it conveyed to the station house on a shutter; the building fell at foorteen minutes past six o’clock, as shown by the watch fonnd upon the person of Mr. Ely: I did not give the officers any directions to guard the building, as | did not consider the front wall dangerous; we did no keep people off the sidewalk, because we did not suppose there was any danger whatever; we have orders in such cases, where butidings are daogerous, to guard tho same; we wore two days guarding oae in West street, but it 13 agri) yet taurice O'Connell, of the Firec precinct police, deposed that be was standing on the sidewalk with officer Stewart at the time of the accident; I was one of the first to assist voceased outof the ruins; atter extricating him we took him to the New York Hospital, where he died the same evening; I did not eee Mr. Ely taken out, my attention being taken up with officer Stewart, » B. Bouton, M.D., testified to the canse of the we:—T have made an external examination hn Stewart and William J. Ely, the first York Hospital, and the other at the Firet house; 1 found the bodies very tnuch tangled, and exhibiting the appearance of having been roshed by 4 fatiing building; from the history of the cage J am‘of opinion that deceased died from injuries received by the falling of the buttding Nos, 54nd 66 Broad atroct. Coroner Schirmer then submitted the case to the jury, who, alter due deliberation, rendered the following VERDICT: That deceased came to his death by the falling of the building Nos. 64 and 66 Hroad street, ocoupled by Menara, Kent and Lowber, and owned by Mra. Bard; that the firat aud immediate cause of the falling of the building was the settling of one of the main rear supports into mason work of the cellar centre wall. by which the whole weight of tbe contents seems to bave been throws on this weak point; thet the cave of the accident was owing to the overloading of the building; parmuch wet had pot been built strong enough for purpose for which it was used, we fod that the origi owner and occopapts are censurable, Further, we would alko censure the police for sot taking the necessary precautions to prevent people from cougregating of pass- bg jo front of the store while it was in 80 precarious a condition, 10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Tp your issne this morning, regarding the catastrophe ia Broad street, you make a general observation upon the fitness of nearly all the “ houses,” as you are pleased to term them, in that street. Being large owners in the vicinity of the accident, we think you are doing us a great injustice, without intending it. “The stores owned and built by us are. constructed in the most substantial and perfect manner, having been built by days’ work an’ with very heavy timber, ip the beet possible manner, without any reference to the dry goods trade.

THOMAS DE QUINCEY, OF EDINBURG. [From the Manchester Guardian, Dec. 10. Death has blotted out another great name from tho catalogue of English authors. THoMas oe Quivcey died on Thursday. This distinguished and voluminons writer was born in our own city about the year 1786; but he lot Manchester early in life. Since 1843 he has resided in, or in the neighborhood of, Etinburg, and in the modern Athens he breathed hie last. For a considerable period before his death, he was et in editing a perfect col- lection of bis productions, which, as bas been well ob- served, had previously beeu buried in the periodical lite- rature of his generation; and it will be some satisfaction to his admirers to know that he lived long enough to com- plete the work to which his fading energies were applied. Like Leigh Hunt, who has but from among ur, Mr. de Quincey was one of the few relica left us of one of the most brilliant ages of English literature. He was one fthe friends of Coleridge, Southey and Wordsworth; —with, perhaps, the exception of Landor aud Brough: am—may be regarded as the last of that noble array of men of letters who shed such lustre over the early part of the nineteenth century.
