An Echo to th e Anastasia Unsle Tom." Moulatoa sad Stoneman. The author states with some ingenuousness that he hoe "in some respects connected his plot with the work of Mrs. Stowe," and further that "several of the characters named in Mrs. Stowe 's work will be found also named in this." He adds that "there were two interesting personages mentioned in Mrs. Stowe's work, namely, Susan, and Emmeline, her daughter. They are sold into slavery to separate masters. After Emmeline's escape with Casey, Mrs. Stowe dismisses her with a few words, in which she is stated to have become the wife of the mato of a vessel. The author of " Uncle Tom in England" " could not help feeling that something more was needed, from the interest centered in her character, than that she should be matte, qff' in this way, leaving her mother in bondage. Having the story of a prototype before him. the author could not resist the temptation to repudiate two lines of Mrs. Stowa's book, and to make Emmeline the instrument of her mother's emancipation." How far—on the face of his own facts—the writer may be considered to be making an unjust attempt to share the popularity of the last popular novelist— will be a matter for the p u bli c to determine. For the rest, he has written something more than 200 pages of more or less exciting incident, of a nature calculated at the present moment to satisfy some of the appetites of those whom Mrs. Stowe may have left, like (Elver Twist, "asking for more." The author apologises for errors, on the ground that the work was a labour of love--a3complished in seven days. For a labour of love this is rather careless treatment, to say the least of it. Most continuations and imitations are failures, and it is pr3bable this book will afford no great exception to tho rule. A NEGRO CONFESSOR. (prom the PittoknyeA Journal.) In the many criticisms on Mrs. Stowe . ' great work, no objection is so common as that of exaggeration or overdrawing in thefinalet of Uncle Tom's death. All who read the newspapers agree that whippings to death do occur, but ad will not, or cannot, believe that any one, for con science sake, has died by the lash here, in this glorious nineteenth century. Those "'Jiggers " who aro whipped to death are desperate characters—persons who have worn out the patience of overseers and masters by crime and laziness. in the summer of 13.39 we were in Louisville, Ken tucky. As no great change has ever taken place in our opinion on this slavery question, we were at some lois then for • place to go to preaching, mid used on the Sabbath to walk out to a graveyard, or into the fields, or up and down the streets in search of sermons. One forenoon, passing a little frame church on Walnut -street, if we recollect rightly, we heard the voices of • congregation singiui. Brother Samuel, who was with tie—it wan further down street than would have been thought safe fur • woman to walk alone at midday—mid it was • congregation of methodists, and a liekieliMillenthm, he thought, but Named us he hid once dilemad beard a-sermon he liked. mma*bl and teak a mt. A plain-looking elderly awa pesibell Y tbe maul style for methodists—preachers la tausay piano—all about religion—its comforts in life sad trim& la death. Like Uncle Tom, he insisted, with unummees, that it was " a greet thing to be a " Religion—it made the weak strong, and the nummesillmeat honourable. To illustrate this grand truth, he tali an anecdote as something coming within the range et big own knowledge, at an tit slave who had " got reli ghts." His master was kW, bat irreligious and reckless , and was withal mash bapasurd by the sarnestuma of his earmat's prayer. sail itabartalitaa But one evil day, on the lebbstk, too . tlds same kind master was drinking sad Male with a 'Mar, when the conversation tamed spea le religion of Amt. The visitor boasted that he mid " whip the relights sat at any ' nigger' in the State is hall so hour." The muter, proud of ponatekis a rare specimen. boasted that he had one out rid wham the religion could not be whipped. A bet wee laid, sad the martyr summoned. A fearful meth of 'named.% ad blasphemous denial of his Baviser id iri s s a requirod of die did disciple, upon pain vof being to deed% Thu sewer was, " Bream de ' Lord, men ain't !" Throe% oaths, nineties, and noise were tried, but he tell ow Me Mem. and fielding up his hands, said, " Bent& Last, Rim% I ain't ! Christ, he die for me ! Huse, dean, mime, I eew't." The em.r em enemed his aids, the old man was tied up, end the Mimi, aommomed ; but the shriek, for mercy won eR iistneadogled with prayers and praises— prayen in his ens mil and these of his murderers. When hilaidng lad revived, the tondo of fetters freedom how punishment teem ffed opts, and again he put them away with the matlimod exclamation, "Chit t he die for me ! Brea de Lard, mar% I caa't." The bet woe to the full value of the property endangered. The men were flushed with wine, and the experimenter on nligioa" insisted on t rying it out. Honour da maodid should have a fair chance to win his bet, end the old disciple died under the lash, blessing the Lord that Christ bad died for him. TM preacher gav• his recital with many teen, and before he was done we do not think there was a dry eye except oar own in the buss.

BAILING OF THE FORERUNNER FOR AFRICA. The Forerunner, Captain J. B. Atkins, a new and beautiful vessel, belonging loth* African Steam Navigation Company, arrived at Plymouth on Thursday musing, from the Mamie, after a speedy passive of thirty-four hears, in weather well calculated to try her capabilities as a sea boat. Several of the directors came round as passengers, and, amongst them, Mr. Macgregor Laird, the founder of the =y. The Forerunner is an iron steamer, propelled screw, of 400 tone, and 60 horse power. tier ex teems length over all is 170 feet, and breadth of beam 22 feet, drawing, with full cargo and coals for fifteen dap, I sine tut water fore and aft. The saloons and pivots cabins are designed with every view to comfort and ale- 1 Ranee, and her great length, tapering mute, and external colour, which is entirely green ' give her a light and grate ful appearance. The contract for the conveyance of the mails was only completed in March last, and the tercel has hem built an d made ready for sea within six months. The Forerunner takes out a full cargo of mis:ellaneous goods, and a large amount in specie, and also carries a number of passengers. Her berths, though comparatively small, ere well lighted and ventilated, and this company have, we believe, the merit of introducing for the first time in a mail packet-ship Silver's waterproof and tliatable mattresses, each of which is said to be capable of sustain ing the weight of eight persons in the water. She also carries powerful hose, to be worked by the ship's engine, in ease of tire, and two capacious life-boats, each with MU room (or thirty persons. rho latter have been imported from America. and are similar to those now generally em- played in the United States navy. They are constructed of galvanized iron; hare air chambers fore and aft ; and are ' considered peculiarly adapted for vessels trading in hot climates, the in.:terial of which they ere constructed not being likely to deteriorate by exposure. Capt. Atkins, who commands the Forerunner, is a seaman of much experience, and was, until recently, in the employ ment of Messrs. Wigram, in one of their Las; lndiamen, and, therefore, well acquainted with the passenger trade. Ws crew consists of first and second officers, ten able sae- men, three engineers, and sit Armes. The en lily servants ale also appointed by himself and under his implicit control, and, looking to recent examples, the most rigid regulations are prescribed with respect to lights, smoking, and other practices involving danger by fire. A nand expedient has also been adopted by the directors, at Mr. Laird's sugges tion, with a view at once to preserve discipline and encou rage propriety of behaviour. A certain per tentage is allowed upon the passage mor.ey and freight rich voyage, which is called good-conduct money, and divided amongst the officers and crew ; the former getting two-thirds and the latter one-third each. This is Meth on the system of "lays" in the whaling service, and gives ell on board an interest in the sucecse of the voyage, and, as the captain has the power of withholding thee* gratuities in cases of misconduct, a salutary means of punishment is thus provided. We are told that the Forerunner is specially designed by draft of water to enter the harbour of Lagos, it being ez peeted, as a consequence of the friendly relations which we' have bitterly established with the chicb and other inha bitants of that part of the coast, that an extensive trade will soon be in operation. Already it has exhibited itself 1 in an extraordinary degree at the Gambia, and there tan be no doubt it will be further encouraged by the facilities afforded to commercial enterprise by the active directors of the African Steam Navigation Company. The Foreruaner will be succeeded by four other steamen of a much larger elm, two of 900 and two of 1,060 tons burthea s teseileury month, and a steamer will shortly be laid me to Mobil cad Teneriffc, which, from the beauty of its athisie Nth pltharesipm scenery, is likely to rival the I I former ghee as a Nmeamiust. hitherto, however, Tens ' riffe kr ass been mark mewled to by Europeans for pur poses of bean, owing to the want of opportunities of roachint s Faviag it at INIIIISSieft intervals , such opportn- ' nities ing solely apes the thence visits of eligible I vessels. nder all eirmanistugne we hal that great public advsatage• will be derived hen die Warts of the company to wide we new allude; the harthealsirm influence of legi timise esmaesee math math se later show its effects in en peesedieg a Imehmene talk the way of the missionary i . sad the curb et these at home, be they tell- Ist= up, or Niue phithithapihth having in view the recla mation of the with ethe.

The novel announcement of an orchestral per formance without instruments drew a considerable &mini:me to this theatre last night. Many, doubtless, went inen du loos asto the prasibility of so instructing the human voice —flexible as it is—as to imitate, with proximate fidelity, a variety of wind and stringed instruments in harmonious concert; sad such persons were not disappointed. It seems that nature will only submit to a certain amount of torture, beyond which she vindicates her rights. This was very much the case last night ve:th the " Organoptionic Band"—a company of twelve German performer., who, without any mechanical aid, executed, by the yoke, seri nil pieces of music, same of them of no son.l difficulty. The programme consisted of three parts, commencing with " Rule Britannia," which was executed by the whole band. A 'screen, who only heard and did not see what was going on, would certainly say that he listened to music, 01111 to the music of well.kuowu instruments, but of such Under stop and weak volume, that he would remark that they were instruments that had lost tkeir wind—in fact, instruments in the last stage of consumption. That three new visitants are ingenious and surprising, that they must have undergone considerable and laborious raining, in order to giro such wonderful intona tion and modulation to the human organ, is an acknowledgment to which they are justly entitled ; bat as is the case with almost all exhibitions of this kind, from which action and variety are ►bsent, they are not cal culated to afford an evening of sustained and continuous amusement. The " Huntsman' Chorus," from " Der Freischutz," with an echo, in imitation of the musical box, was, perhaps, the best executed piece is the entire pro gramme, the echo being wonderfully true. A solo, imita tive of the piccolo, was likewise admirably done; full of energy and action, but necessarily deficient in the sharp piercing tones of that instrument. Both of these perfor mances were encored, though there was a very just and considerate feeling against repetitions from the evident effort and strain which these displays occasioned to the per formers. Polkas, marches, waltzes, fantasias, were all exe cuted with equal facility, and there seems scarcely an instrument, from the cymbal and drum to the Scotch bag pipes, which they are not capable of imitating with more or less fidelity and exactness. Some of them can imitate three or four instruments almost without a pause. Perhaps there are few who will not be pleased to hear these new comers, if it were only for the strangeness of the thing, but they must not expect that the music, though sometimes sweet, will wrap them in Elysium. We may say of these sorts of amusement what Georges Dandin says of the rack, —"et eels fait toujour passer one hews." THE BRITISH MUSEUM. The institution should be made either a national museum or a national library. Both it cannot permanently be, and the sooner a choice between the two is made by those who have the power to make it, the better it will be for science, antiquities, and literature. If the miscellaneous galleries— now, by the admission of the heads of departments them selves, scarcely available for serious study—were emptied of their contents, we should have a library the finest—as in a few years it will be the largest—in the world, with ample space and verge enough fur all purposes, not only for our time, but for ages to come. The other collections would all find their more appropriate resting places elsewhere, in special museums. To repeat ourselves: Is not the Zoo logical Garden in the Regent's Park the natural repository for the stuffed animals and birds? Would not the metallic and geological treasures stowed away in the Museum be more useful to the public if gathered under such a roof as that of the Museum of Practical Geology ? Ought not that matchless collection of osteological speci men/ POW rotting in the cellars of the overgrown mansion in Bloomsbury to be transferred to the great museum of the medical profession ? Is not Kew the obvious home for the botanical sp.eimens ? And so of all the rest. No other country mixes up in the same collection obelisks from Luxor with lady-birds from Kent, sea shells from Sums: with eoluenns from the Parthenon. Still less convenient is it to have these things jumbled together with books, prints, and manuscripts—u readers at the rooms in Montague-place have most of them found to their cost. Many of our readers probably know that at first it was intended by the founders of tho itish Museum to collect and preserve the national pictures under the name roof with all these things —one of the wings being appropriated as a picture gallery. But when, in 1823, Sir George Beaumont announced to the trustees his intention of making over to them his extensive collection of pictures for the benefit of the public, the diffi culty of finding room to hang them so as to be seen created the necessity out of which arose our National Gallery. Thus the first limb was lopped off the design. Difficulties of a similar kind are at this moment pressing on the trustees. They are embarrassed with the mass of their wealth—and nsein4 should prevent the ultimate dispersion of the esnlemet of the Manama into special ell Thom gsathmaint already talk about limiting the fatale grew* of sistills and antiquarian departments " by sordiatt al; POPOIWOW and by refusal of gifts," in a way to s w that this node of deeding with the question of has been pressatad to their minds as a possible expe dient. But if so, wiser, see they to stop ? lithe alleged want of space be mesa nifilciant to justify the rejection of a Lamm or a Sphinx, what is there to prevent the same reason being given for the rejection of books or manu scripts ? The very idea of such a helpless mode of evading the difficulty is absurd. A rich and powerful country like England, teeming with intellectual activities, unable to provide a lodging for its historical and scientific treasures ! —Arkisaust. THE MACKEREL FISHERIES. Probably but few are Aware of the great extent of the masharel mid ether iliedes. It has been estimated that duke the eemmer neenehe. we rather between Jane and November, more than 70,010 vessels are constantly engaged in the different kinds of fisheries, employing no lees than 240,000 men. By a treaty with Great Britain, American vessels are allowed the privilege of fishing within certain limits of the Gulf of St. lAwrence, and the quantity of fish taken from this plain alone is truly astonishing. The meat of Newfoundland yields its codfish to the hardy sailor from May until December, while the better class of mackerel are taken tram August to October. Many mackerel, however, of • proper dem am take* along the southern shore of the United OWN peke to this, but as • general thing they are deemed worthy of little notice. The Bay of Cheteisr, along the coast of Pintas Ed ward's Island, the Magdalen Islands, sad Northumberland Straits, are the cheesed areherel grounds. Here the Beet et vends at ewe dme will often ,amount to twn thenseinsl as • general thing I not more then beat tin In fees red vessels sail in 1 company.

This is either her ring, porgies, se dams, well salted sad cleansed, put up expressly for the purpose. The average oast of it is about three and a hale dollars per barrel, at lout two barrels of which are thrown away per day in good fishing. Yon then have 16,000 dollars per day thrown away to the fishes, or say 100 dollars per vessel for each trip, which is below the actual amount, and we thus have the enormous sum of 200,000 dollars. The method of taking the mackerel is very simple. The vessel is " hove to," and men are arranged on the " wind ward" side as many as can conveniently stand from bow to stern. Each man is presided with four lines, only two can be used in fast fishing. On each line is atta ched the hook which is sunk into an oblong bit of lead called a "jig." A barrel is placed behind each man, into which the halt are " snapped as caught, the jaw tearing out as easily as though made of paper. Owing to this tenderness of the jaw, the fish must be hauled very carefully, though with great ra pidity. One man stands " amidships," throwing the bait which has been carefully ground to keep the fish about the vessel, while the hooka are baited with any tough sub-1 stance—either pork rind, a bit of liver, or a piece of the mackerel itself. When the fish bite rapidly no sport is MOM exciting! a doaen men will often catch from thirty to fifty barrels in au hour. When caught they are split, gibbed, scraped, washed in three waters, and then salted, the whole being done with astonishing celerity.—Daltjae Cdronicle.

SOME PASSAGES IN THE LIFE OF WELLINGTON. (prep the !coif anal Nad(ll , l, Ga:ette.) We know not the date of the following occur rence, but we had it some years ago on testimony that en sures its authenticity. It might have been upwards of 20 years back; indeed we think It took place when the Duke was Prime Minister. One morning &clerk in the Ordnance-office was called upon by a gentleman, a native of the same place iu the north of Scotland with himself, who then for the first time hot visited England. lie stated that he had that morning arrived, and had come to him to introduce him to the Duke of Wellington, he being impressed with the idea that his friend in the Ordnance•ottiee was in such a position as could at any time command an interview with one w ho, if not then Master-General, had, at least, formerly held that position. " I—l introduce you to the duke ; the thing is out of the ques iou, my good friend; but us you se e m s o b ent on it, and have come up from &whimd for no other purpose, pos sibly, if you will go to Apsiey !louse and make known the purport of your calling, the porter may be able to procure you an interview." Disappointed, but nothing daunted, the old Scotch gen tleman wended his way up St. Jamee's•street, and along until he arrived at the house of the great cap tain. On the gate being opened, he informed the porter that he desired to see the Dale of Wellington. " Have you an appointment with the nuke inquired the faithful sentinel. " No; but 1 wish particularly to see Lim." There must have been something peculiarly winrint, if not commanding, in the manner and appearance o: the venerable stranger, with his silver locks hangin, , nt his shoulders, who now, without introduction, without a pre vious appointment, with much earnestness was w.kin.t to see the great lord of the mai.sion ; for the porter. ..:T• r a while, said. " Sir, it you will give me your curd, 1. 0,.l ice what can be done." In a few minutes the porter returned, desirieg the stranger to walk into the house, where he wee shown into a ZOOM. He had been there but a short time who the duke came in with the card in his hand, to " Mr. Robertson, what is your busin e ss with m e ? I eau *fluid you ten minutes." Your grace," said the patriarchal visitor, his face beam ing with intelligence and los couidenance brightemeg eith satisfaction, " I have attentively watched your grace's career fr.an the day you were an ensign cp to the preNent hour. lam now, as your grace aces, a very old man, _old must soon leave this world ; but I felt that I could ~.it be gathered to my tethers in peace without having le.held your grace. I arrived from Scotland this morale:, e ach this sole object. The only wish I had on earth is ne,. {ra tified, and to morrow mutating I shall set off on my way home again." " Well, Mr. Robertson," said the duke, " next t t the honours I have received frees my Sovereign, this is cei the greatest compliment ever paid inn. lam now od 4e:a to leave you, but you will come hem to dinner at seven o'clock, and to morrow I am going down to Windsor, and shall be happy to take you with me."

A clerical friend was consulted, who said it would per haps have been wrong to have purposely chosen the sub ject, but as it occurred regularly in the course he was giving, and as the sermon was already written, he tli,ught it best to go on with it, in the hope that it might be blessed. On the following morning, when the preacher had given out his text, and read the verse— " Now Neaman, captain of the host of the King of Syria, was a great man wit► iiis master, and honourable, In by him the Lord bad given deliverance to Syria. Ile was also a mighty man in valour, but he was • h FT," the duke, placing his elbow on the front of the pee, and fixing his eyes on the preacher, appeared to give the utwest attention to the discourse. On coming out of church some one—we believe it wu the Duke of Manchester—tapping the Duke of Wellington on the shoulder, said, " Alt he has hit your grace, I think." "He has hit US all," replied the great captain; " but I happen to know that the subject was not purposely selected, but came in the order of a course of senno..s en the lessons of the day''—for the medical attendant bad told him that the minister was engaged on such a course. The duke was called away before the next Sunday to attend a cabinet council, but he desired the physici.in to make known to Mr. the reason of his absence. TUB DI:111 . 5 LAST VISIT TO ♦ PUBLIC ANCSEMENT. —lt is a singular fact that his grace's last visit to a 1.4 Ain exhibition was to witness the representations of his own campaigns at the Gallery 01 Illustration, Regent-stret -. It was a private view, and is described as being of the most interesting; character. As scene followed genie, the duke identified the localities, even occasionally pointing out par. titular buildings. As the illustration or his own imn 'eta! deeds passed before him, he gave a running comment cv of the events to the distinguished party that accompanied enriching it with interesting details, coupled with ,vnie most recherche anecdotes. TES DUKE AT CHILTENHAIC—A singular little inci dent occurred, not uninstructive, as illustrative of.chari. ter in connexion with the duke's patronage of the Rotunda Promenade Ball, the ordinary charge for admission to v.:deb wee 34., but, on this occasion, the proprietor, either biliing to reap a richer harvest of profit, or to render his room, less crowded, advertised the price of the tickets at 4e. This did not escape the notice of the duke, and a polite =wigs was sent, through a friend, that his grace would not con•idcr any advance upon the regular entrance-charge any ooinpli phment to himself ; and the proposed alteration wei, of course, abandoned, but not before it had provoked avere animadversion.— Lookw THB Delta OF WELLINGTON AS • CONNOISSEVII.— Among the many anecdotes which have been publish , d of the illustrious man whose decease still forms almost the only topic of conversation, there is one which is not very ene rally known, we believe—or which has not at least been published. It cannot fail to be remembered that the Duke of Wellington became the purchaser of one of the lugs pictures of Waterloo by our own celebrated painter, it William Allan. After the picture had become the pro' irty of the duke, the artist was instructed to call at the Lase Guards on a certain day, in order to receive payment. Punctual to the hour appointed, Sir William met his gr tos, who proceeded to count out the price of the picture, when the artist suggested that, to save the time of one whose every hour was devoted to his duty, a cheque might be 'Men on the duke's bankers. No answer was vouchsafed, how ever; and Sir William, naturally supposing that his modest hint might not have been beard, repeated it—" Perliaps your grace would give me a cheque on your bankes ; it would save you the trouble of counting notes." This time the old hero had beard, and whether irritated at being stopped in the middle of his enumeration, or speakine his real sentiments, we know not, but, turning half tonne. he replied, with rather a peculiar expression of voice and c,uu tenance—" And do you suppose I would allow Cou'ts's people to know what a fool I have been ?" We give the anecdote as it circulates among the friends of the late Sir William Allan, by whom it was told with great 9,4 humour. It reflects no discredit on either 4; party. 'Their i..eaa of art were certainly very different.—Scottisli !WSJ. Ott. Or Ulf Bemis LAST Am OP BINIVOLIINeB.— We axe informed by the Secretary of the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Royal Benevolent Society, that, about the middle of last month, the late Duke of Wellidston presented the noble donation ot SOL to this valuable tamely. AN OLD COMBAT)* or visa I/VlZ.—Among the retinue of the late duke at Widmer, in Mr. Townsend, a venerable looking old soldier, holding the oleos of warder and steward of the castle, and who bravely served his country in the field under his illustrious master. This veteran was formerly in the 2nd battalion of the Grenadier Guam* with wtheh corps he was present at the storming of Bergetn-op•Zoom, under General Graham. The advantage gained by the capture of that strongly-fortified place, as is well known,was not judiciously followed up, and the result of the error was that many of our soldiers were driven to surrender. But Townsend, when called upon to give up his arms, refund, and having induced thirteen of Ms comrades to join hors, they passed the square of the town in the face of the enemy • cross fire, and mounted the batt e ry whi c h t h e British were about to evacuate. There he turned some guns upon the enemy, and cepended the whole of the ammunition within reach, ev, n to the contents of his own and his comrades' poaches, and then retired, perfectly nu scathed. His gallant little party, by this act of velour, effected their departure from the town, thus escaping the horrors of a French prison. This veteran also fought St Waterloo, being then a sergeant in the Guards. He there took part in the memorable end crowning charge of the British Guards upon the Imperial Guard of Napoleon, and in that desperate yet decisive affair he had his halbert shot from him, and his hat carried away by a gun-shot ; yet he survived to receive the above appointments from the duke, which he holds to this del. His grace also nominated him to a vacant wardership in the Tower of London, two years since. Tun WILLINOtON MONVIIIIN'T IN NVTNINOID-PA/Ll. Meet of our readers are aware that a monument has been long in course of erection in Wynyard-park, in commemo ration of the visit of the lamented warrior to the Marquis of Londonderry in 1827 ; and it is perhaps worthy of notice among ooineident events, that the last stone had hardly boss fixed in its place, and the finishing touch put upon the work, before the melancholy tidings of the great captain'. death reached the can of the workmen, and changed, es it were, the pillar of triumph into a cenotaph of grief. The duke arrived at Wynyard on the 26th of September, 1827, and on the following Wednesday the lamented warrior !viaited this city, and received addresses from the corpora• ' tion and inhabitants, to which his grace returned very flat tering replies. Indeed, his northern progress was one con tinued ovation. Ilia grace left this city about nine o'clock cease Friday morning, on his way southwards, and arrived in town on the Sunday evening.—Diwitant Adostisser. -~
