The state was maddened by contradictory reports on this all absorbing topic, and Houston in disgust abandoned the army, the bar, and the abodes of civilised life, betook himself again to his "wigwam-home," and there "buried his sorrows in the flowing bowl."

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LnwooL, Avo. 14. MORI CIL SAWN PLAIT. Joseph Pattnegton, 30, baker, was charged with haying entered the shop of Mr. Gregory, provision merchant, Sattermirket-street, Warrinroe, and stolen therefrom about 101. in copper. Mr. Moak and Mt. Crete app-sired for the prosecution, and Mr. Wheeler for the prisoner. Oa the night of lie 26 , h of March last the prosecutor stated that he had mein his premises ammo before retiring to rest. but apes gait eg up la the morale, he found an estrange ismi Wm breed by a back window, and that the thieves, perks theengh the house to the shop, had with• draws the MIMS hem the lock of the door, and stolen the mosey from •be. in the shop. Soon after the robbery the prisoner wee mopped by a polies °Meer with about U. 1a copper, which he mos tarrying in a carpet bag. Whet it was searched he meld not eves tell the amount of mosey it contained. It was found that among the coppers there were several coins which the prosecutor eau his wire were enabled from certain marks to identify. The landlady of the Unicorn, Warrington, proved the primmer having obtained some drink at her house on the evening before the robbery upon credit, and to his having called the neat atomise and paid for it. lire. U. Lecklaod, whose husband keeps the Three runs, In Wigan, deposed that the prisoner called there and gave her the carpet bag containing the coppers to keep for him a short time, alleging that he had changed his badness, and wee now is the jewellery lice. It was while In her house that the bag was searched by the paint. The copper wee wet and dirty, sad appeared to have been concealed in some midden. _ Mr. Sim, chief constable of Wigan, gave evidence to this effect—When questioned about it, alter being taken into Custody, the pnmner said, "It's my own; I here berm getting from 20e. to SOL a-week, tthii dy to copper. I bass had it eososaled." It trammed, la the oross-examination of some of the witness's, that, although the prisoner was a baker by trade, he also followed the occupation of a hawker of ginger bread, and that he sometimes had a considerable quantity of copper money in his possession, bat nothing like the cluantity which was found in the carpet bag. Mr. Wheeler addressed the jury for the prisoner, con tending that an unfair method of "pumping" had been resorted to by the police for the purpose of extracting from him expressions upon which a conviction might be founded. With respect to the coins which had been identified by the prosecutor and his wife, that branch of the evidence for the prosecution ought to go ter nothiag. People lived nowa days in strange times, and they had lately seen a return of the amount expended by certain quack doctors, and others, in advertising. Among the devices resorted to was that of placing names of parties end firms upon the coins of the realm. One of the penes was marked by Lloyd's Wiskly Naas, another by an implement maker, and a third with ioitials. Hundreds—nay, thousands—of pence had been similarly marked, so that speaking to their identity was impossible. Verdict, Gstilly. Bentence—four years' penal servitude. IRLIZZ AND OTHERS 11,ZOCLI11. The plaintiffs were the wigneee oii7Lid J. Potter, cot ton•pinnen, of Manchester, who became bankrupts in 1841. The defendeat, who wes also a oottoncpinner in Manchester, bum* bankrupt in 1847, and the action was brought to recover 601., the amount of an I 0 U, which he gave_ under the following circumstances. One of the Meson. Potter was patentee of a self-acting mule, which was well known and ostensively used in cotton-spinning mills. The defendant had several of these mules at.work in his factory, and not having obtained a limas*, he was liable to an action for infringing the patent. When he was made a bankrupt his assignees continued the working of the mill, and they also accordingly became liable for an infringement of the patent. In consequence of this liability of the assignees, and • claim having been made before for compensation for this breach of the patent right, it was agreed on the offer at the defendant to stay all proceedings on the payment of 601. by him. Mr. Bodes said that he then had not the money, and his lOU we. taken on his promise that it should be taken up in a few days. He failed in his pro mise, and the present action was accordingly brought. After the case had proceeded for some time it was agreed to take a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed, subject to a reference.

Driaboater, 29, law writer, was indicted for having feloniously embessled 101, which he had received on account of William Ranee, his master. Mr. Langford was for the prosecution ; Mr. W. J. Payne for the prisoner. The prosecutor was a solicitor, residing ai Lower Edmon ton, baring offices in King-street, Finsbury, and he anl the prisoner bad been acquainted some years. Early in the present year the prisoner was taken into the prosecutor's service, first to arrange the bocks, and then to take part in the general business of the office; but on the 3rd or 4th c.f April be had notice to quit, and accordingly he left, and afterwards entered the service of the law stationer to the Charity Commission. It was found that the prisoner had received 101. from one of Mr. Roscoe's clients, named Hunting, which he did not pay over, and the chief clerk wrote to him about it, desiring an explanation. The pri soner promised to settle the matter, and explained that he had had to pay certain fees in Hunting's matter, that he had • claim for overtime, and that be had a running account with Mr. Roscoe, and was authorised to pay himself out of the money be received. After this " proceedings" were threatened, but the prisoner paid little attention to that, as he wee nadir the impression that the threat had reference to • county court summons, and not to a criminal prosecution, and that he should be able to settle the balance. That was urged on his behalf. In July sonse- 1 thing unpleasant occurred in the office, and one of the con sequences was that the primmer was taken into custody on the 17th, by Inspector Brennan, for embeasliag the IW. He had not kept out of the way, or concealed his address from the prosecutor, but the charge being preferred, the , magistrate sent the case for trial, but admitted the accused to bail, and he now surrendered. He had his mother, wife, sad two children dependent upon him for support, end it was tasted to the jury that if they acquitted him he would immediately return to his present situation. On Saturday last the prosecutor gave the prisoner's wife • sovereign, and on Sunday both prisoner sad his wife dined with him, at his hostas at Edmonton. The prosecutor doubted whether the prisoner bad acted feloniously. Mr. Bodkin, in summing up, oommented on the singular circumstance of a person asking a man and his wile to dinner on a Sunday, knowing that on the following Wednes day he was to appear against the husband to prosecute him for felony. Charles Bright, 32, was indicted for stealing • pint of rum, the property of the Si. Katharine Dock Company. Mr. W. J. Payne was for the prosecution ; Mr. Hong for the defence. The prisoner had been a labourer at the dock for six years, and had bores a very good character. On the 31st of Italy he was detected secreting a pint bottle of rum by the side of a cask, and it was proved that it had just before been takes from where a customs officer was taking mmples of ram, during his temporary absence. The jary found him Guilty. Biz months' bard labour. Josiah Branekflower and Henry Brenehlloteer were in dieted for haviag ualawfieUy assaulted William W. et. Mr. Gut appeared for the promeutien ; Mr. W. J. Pays* for the dehisce. It appeared that the prosecutor, a broker, living in the Cartain road, was empowered by warrant to make a levy on the defendants goods, at their house, which was in Camden-street, Bethnal-green, and on his proceeding to do so, they questioned his right, and ejected him from the premises. They *brew him down on the pavement, and kicked him in the abdomen, using an amount of violence which was quite unjustifiable even U they were right is re sisting the levy. The jury found them Guilty. Kr. Bodkin sentenced them each to two months' imprimis seat. Binvoritin Malty, moan, was iodiotocl for having as moulted Patrick Dawson. Mr. Salter wu for the prosecution ; Mr. W. J. Payne for the definer. -------- Oa the 27th of Jane the prisoner went with a van to the Tower to deliver use goods, which his employer, Mr. Porter, cabinet-gasket, of Camden-town, had to supply unde r a untrue with the Board of Ordinate. The progenitor, ' asi aged man, was employed at the Tower, and it wee part of his duty to ass that a aerials bridge over the dry moat was kept clear of obstruction. Seeing the prisoner's van on this bridge, he desired him to move it away, telling him that be was bound to see it removed. As angry altercation took place through the prisoner refusing to move the van, sad he threatened to shove the old man over the bridge if be interfered with him any hitter. This threat was repeated three several times, sad se the prosecutor insisted os the bridge being clear ed, it wee at last carried into execution. The prisoner seised him by the neckerchief, bat he ena trived to extricate himself from his grasp, and then the prisoner deliberately ran towards him with both bands up lifted, and pushed him over the bridge. He fells depth of nine feet smogs some coal boxes, end sustained nth in juries as might have proved moat 'erica', especially to • man of his advanced years. The prisoner was given Into custody, and he then made admissions which bore out the old man's version of the traseaction.

On the night of ' the 7th July be was passing by the Islington poHoe-staton, when the prisoner and another man raided at him, and 'knocked him down by a blow en the bead with a sharp weapon. While he was down the other man held him while the prisoner boat him about the hand with a large tin can until he became insensible. His thumb was broken, and his head cut open in five places.

MANSION HOUSE. &mow woodho;;;;;; w ho hasbeta ;Z some time known to the police as an active associate of thieves and house-, breakers, was brought before Sir B. W. Carden, upon the charge of having feloniousiy received a B.nk of England note lot 20!., which had, together with other bank ,notes, been stolen from Mrs. Parsons by two women and a little girl, near the station at London-bridge. Inspector Brennen, of the G division, said—Between seven and eight o'clock this morning, in consequent* of information which I received, I went with another con stable to No. 19, Sarah-street, Kingsland-road, Shorediuh. I found the prisoner In bed there. I was in plain clothes, and I said to him that I belonged to the police, and came to take him into custody for being concerned, with others, in stealing a sum of money in back notes, in the month of July last, and that I was also informed that he had been found recently dealing with a 20/. note, part of that robbery, on which charge a publican named Foley was in custody. He said, " I know nothing at all about it. I know nothing of what you are talking of. I don't thick you know what you are talking about your self. What do you want me for ?" I then repeated what I had previously stated, and told him to dress himself. He sat some time on the bad, and then I asked him, " Pray how long are you going to keep me hers 1" He said, " You know you must not ask me questions — it is not your duty." After be had dreseed himself we proceeded down the Kings land-road towards Bhoraditeh church. He said, "Where are you going to take me to ?" I said, " To Foley's public-boa., ; end if you are not identified you shall not be detained." He welted for some time, end then hesaid, " Well, you can only make • vitae.' of me. I'll be a witness, so helping God, 11 you like." He then said. " We went with Tom what's his nuse—l forget his name, but Ted Foley known him br these twenty years—last Wednesday week, and Tom asked him whether he would buy a 201. note. We told him it was square, and he said he did not care a He bought it for 121. We told him not to take it to the Bank, or it would burn him." He said " I don't think be (Ted Foley) went himself to the Benk ; bet he sent some ens else He told us he should not be gone above three quar ters of an boor, end I don't think he came back for two hours and a halt." The note was, the prisoner said, an old ripped up thing. The prisoner—Witness, I wish to ask you a question. You say that I stated that we went last Wednesday week to Foley's. Now how could that be when every one knows that the thing took plass this day week ? Witness—l have only stated what I believed you said. Russell (the detective officer) said—This day week Foley, the publican, who is now in prison, was taken into custody charged with having received a 201. note. I was prattle at the time. The note was produced here, and was much torn and dilapidated, and a lady named Parsons gave evi dence on that occasion of the loss of it. Oa Wednesday last, on first going into Foley's house with the man named Bern stain, who had gone to the Bank to ebange the 201 note, I saw the prisoner and another man at the end of the bar, sitting on a tub, and when Foley came home afterwards be was taken into custody, bat the prisoner and the other man who accompanied him left the house after I went, and Foley, upon speaking to his wife, said the men I had seen at the bar were those from whom he had received the 201. note. Sir R. W. Carden—lt has been said that the prisoner is known to the polioe. Has he been in prison on any serious charge Several officers said the prisoner bad boon several times in prison, and bad lately been committed from the Mansion• house. The prisoner —That was ooly for wigging. ffir. Goodman (the chief clerk) said the prisoner's con. stout employment war to watch for and pick up countrymen, induce them to go to low pnblio bonus, and rob them of their money and watches, by tricks with cards. The prisoner—That's all, my lord. It's mere wagging; nothing but card playing. I know I was at Foley's at the time the officer was there. There's no doubt of it. The prisoner was remoulded. Mr. Hobler, the solicitor to Foley, who was on Wednesday, the 8..1e of August, remanded to prison upon the charge of having feleniousty receiving the note, attended wi th ball (or [bat prisoner, end offered two respectable sureties for the appearance of bis client ; but Sir H. W. Carden said it was quite impossible that be could think of accepting bail alter the evidence he bad heard that day. The prisoner was then ordered to be brought up, together with Foley, for further examination on a future day. Joseph Sataideret, a well-known pickpocket, who has been frequently committed from the Mansion-house and Guild hall justice rooms, and a young man of respectable appear ance named Ford, who laboured under the infirmity of deafness, were charged with having stolen ten shillings and athoence out of a lady'. pocket. Thomas Smith, mvsenger at St. Bartholomew's Hos pital, said—Last night abut 8 o'clock, I was on London bridge, and Ford looked at me in rather a suspicious man ner, and then I observed Saunders in front of two females. Ford wee clue behind them. I saw Saunders put his hand into the pocket of one of the females, both of whom then crossed over the bridge, and! went over to them and asked them whether they had lost anything. They said they bed not; but upon my saying " I was glad of that," one of them put her hand in her pocket and said she had lost twelve shillings. I then told her to follow me, end I called a policeman. I saw the two prisoners in conversation together, and they parted, and I ranged out Saunders to the pollee man as one of the two who had committed the robbery Ford said to me, that I had better make a job of it. Croes examined by Baundors-1 saw your hand in the lady's pocket. The complaisant said she knew nothing but that she had been robbed of the money. Ford—Ho says be saw me speaking to this boy (Saunders) I call Ood to witness that I never saw the boy till I went over to where the crowd was about him, and then I was taken into custody,the first witness having pointed out me as I one of them. I never thought of such a tbiog as picking pockets. Sir H. W. Carden very closely inquired into the particu lays of the eau, and was informed by a detective policeman. who asked about Ford's character in the neighbourhood in which the young man resided, as well as about his pursuits, that no imputation of any kind bad keen east upon him at any time. The alderman, after having re-esamined the wit neueo, said, that of the guilt of Saunders there was not the slightest doubt, but his opinion of Ford was quite different from that he had been obliged to form of that offender. He did not believe that Ford bad any the slightest participation in the conduct of the person neat to whom he had been placed at the bar, and it was his firm impression that the witness Smith, who bad acted with such praiseworthy seal for the service of the ladies, was mistaken as to the identity of that young man, who would lease the justice-room with out any injury in his character. Saunders was then sentenced to be imprisoned in Hollo way Gaol with hard labour for three calendar months. GUILDHALL. Sir Peter Laurie attendee with aaotber of Wm. Mark's circulars, bearing the usual official looking blue seal. As in former cues, Mark promises Mr. Balky, of 46, Fleet- street, the favoured individual in this instance, that be shall "hereof something of importance to his,advantagr," on for warding 11. marling to the "office for the settlement ~f claims against the general government of the United States," at 92, Warren street, New York, City. The worthy alderman said he had expressed his opinion with regard tv Wm. Mark and his fraudulent transactions, and the press were giving every facility to expose him; it would there fore be unneuesary fur him to make any further remarks to pat the public on their guard. MARLBORO 00 H -STREET. Lessen Eppelesee; wife of the Prussian ambassador's porter, appeared before Mr. Bit ghats' to refute the charge brought against keg by a cove try somui of having atoms from her an ear jewel of the alleged value of 6,000 dollars. The complainant, it will he recollected, stated that she had a jewel is her possessior which she had rehired 6,000 dollars for at Leipzig, and which she had offered for sale to the Baroness Rothschild ; that she went M the Premien ambassador's for assistance ; that she showed the jewel to the porter ; that the porter took her home to his wife, the accused ; and that, alter staying two or three nights at the prisoner's lodging, she missed her jewel ander circumstances which induced her to charge the porter's wife with the robbery. Mr. Bingham, from the earnestness of the complainant, although evidently not placieg entire credit in her story, was induced to remand the charge to a future day, in order to give time to the accused to produce evidence of her innocence. The sassed was enabled to bring forward such testimony as clearly proved that the story wee trumped up, that the jewel was valueless, cad that struts documents bearing the Bareness Rothsehild'a sigrature were spurious. Mr. Bingham wee satisfied with the evidence, and imme diately dismissed the charge. Ilerbert Temp/mom was ordered to find boil to answer the charge of keeping a house of ill fame, at 92, Newman street. The house is well known as being conseeted with the trifle in foreign prostitutes, and has more thou ogee attracted the notice of the polies sad parish authorities. Notelets Colbert was aloe brought into wort, dressed in mane apparel, and required to find bell to answer the charge. Edwards one of the summoning (Maus of the court, by the eurcisii of emisiderable dexterity, contrived to take the woman into custody in Pantnn.street, in her disguise, and just prepared for a flight to Peewee.

The defendant appeared to a 1 former summons, when be was described as the owner and occupier of the house; but es in the evidence it was ascer tained that he was improperly described, the present sum• mons was issued in terms describing him as a person using a certain house. Mr. Walsh, solicitor, Staples Inn, was engaged for the de fendant. Nathaniel Lush, a Waterman, No. 15, D'Orleq•street, Chelsea, stated that he was et the defendant's bi.usis on the 10th of J sly, at 12 o'clock at noon, when he was shown a list of horses which had to run at the Liverpool Races. He asked the defendant about the state of the adds in reference to t►em, in consequence of which he deposited 7s upon them. He gave a man at the bar half-a sovereign, and re ceived 3s. in change. Witnesses were sworn for the defendant, who stated that the complainant was at the house in the evening between six and seven o'clock, and one of t►em, a man named Ronson, said that he was at the bet all the day. He did not see complainant there at 12 o'clock; and he gave the complainant change for half a sovereign, which he tendered for • pint of ale. Hr. Arnold said that it was a question as to the credibility of witnesses, and that be was inclined to believe the state• Went of the complainant. The penalty for the offence was for a sum not exceeding 1061, or a period of imprisonment with hard labour without penalty. The defendant was had in the mitigated penalty of 201., or in default of payment three months imprisonment in the House of Correction. Mr. Walsh gave notice of appeal, when bail was tempted for his appearance at the unions—himself in 801. and two sureties in W. each. LAMBETH._ Francis Morris, a well-known and convicted thief, sur rendered in discharge of his bail. On the night of Wednesday. the let inst., three notorious pickpockets, named Caroline Cox, E.'s' Scott, and Agnes Morris were apprehended at the Waterloo station by In spector Bent, while attempting to pick the pockets of some passengers who had arrived by the Portsmouth train. When taken to the police-station, toe prisoner Morris drew from her arm-pit and close to her ski, a puns containing twenty five sovereigns, which she said were marked and were her own property, and also a gold watch end chain, which she said belonged to her. On the following day the prisoner volunteered himself as a witness, sad swore that the money in the purse was his proper, and that he had given it to her to keep, but his account of him self, and his mode of living, was unsatisfactory, and it was also sworn by a constable that the prisoner rushed to the cab-door and spoke to his wife Agnes Morris, telling her to my the money found en her was her own, and fur ther had made use of violent threats towards the constable. Mr. Norton therefore was of opinion that he had something to do with stealing the money found on his wife, end ordered him into custody, but admitted him to bail. At the subsequent examination of the prisoners they were all sworn as notorious and convicted pickpockets, and the three women were sent to Wandsworth Rouse of Correction for three nsonthe each. The male prisoner, Morns, was remanded en bail. Yesterday Mr. Bent Informed the magistrate that though he had received numerous communications from persons who bed been robbed, none of them described the purse bound on the prisoner, or the sovereigns lost, as marked. Mr. Wontner, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, applied for the restoration of the 251. found on his wile, and also the watch and chain to be restored to his client, ob serving that from the admission of Mr. Bent that no robbery had been committed, or at all events that there was no reason to suppose that the money in question had formed any part of a robbery. The prisoner said the whole of the sovereigns were his own, and that the reason for his marking them was this. Having been in " t:ouble "he was of course known to the police, and some members of that force being in the habit of tskiag up persons like him from caprice or spite, he made it a rule to mark all the money about him with a cross, so that he might be able to speak to its identity as well as its amount, and therefore they could not keep his property from hits. After some farther evidence Mr. Elliott laid that the watch and chain might be restored, but he should not at present make any order reopecticg the money. The prisoner was discharged. MARKETS.

Since the end of last week the weather has been comparatively dry, but cloudy, and the wheat crop is ripening slowly, but barley and oats on some early soils are fast approaching maturvy. The continued drooping tendency of the English markets (pre viously much above ours) has counteracted the more unfit vnurable accounts as to the prospects of the harvest gene rally, and business during the week has been very limited, with prices rather in favour of buyers for most articles except barley and beans ; of the latter, a parcel of foreign sold at 47.. 61. per qr. of 631bt. At this day's market only a limited extent of business occurred in either wheat or flour, and the sales reported were at a decline of 6.1. per boll and le. per sack, but sellers g Ily conceded the reduction with great reluctance, particularly for flee qualities of wheat.

Gd. THE CROPS. The weather, which for the last six days hai been fine, is ripening the crops, and within these few dye has effected a wonderful transformation. The sickle has already partially commenead operations. Borne wheat is itretriev ably lodged, but it is surprising how much even of that, by means of wind and sun, has filled up and ripened. A great deal of grass, owing to its being so long upon the ground, has become nest to worthlem. Of wheat we have observed many fields upright and uninjured. Although much of the best wheat and barley too have suffered, still • greet quan tity that otherwise would have been poor and light, has bees filled up and matured by the ann and teat.— Wolver hampton Chromick. Metwithatouding the unfavourable weather during the last two or three weeks the harvest prospects In this district are on the whole of a promising character, and in the nouns of another week or ten days the harvest will have become general. Several of our most successful farmers have already commenced operations. Oar Egremont correspond ent informs as that the sickle is already in active operation in the neighbourhood of Middletown, Netbertown, and Conlderton, and the yield everywhere is abandant.--Claw• borland Pacpuef.

The Life of Sam Hosicess. New York. It is curious to observe that while we in this coun try have almost (hay to express oar disapprobation at the corder of public men, and the management or public business, our brethren on the other side of the Atlantic are gi:ing sent to similar complaint", and texprresiog a similar anxiety with regard to the general aspect of affairs. If we are found blaming " the system," and lamenting that the right men do sot set into the right place, or if they do scarcely fulfil the expectations that were raised of them, the American is blaming his system, and for precisely the same reasons. In an address lying before us from the General Committee of the Deenecracy of New Hampshire, we read that " the people of the United Butts cannot shut their eyes to the fact that, as national conventions are at present organised and conducted, no distinguished citizen of the republic, who has gained the confidence of the people, by . commanding ability displayed in a long life of eminent and valuable public service, can empire to the Presidency. National conventions role ell such men off the line of promotion to that office." The free action of the electoral system has been !camped' by the devices originally constituted, per bap' to steady and simplify its working. Great dis satisfaction has been expressed at the result of the election of 1862. A powerful party are anxious to go' back to a freer system in the election that is to take place next year. General Sam Houston is the candidate they propose, and the above work, an anonymous life of that individual, may be regarded In the light of a party manifesto. Of the book itself, cosaidered as a biography, we, cannot say much. It is written throughout in a' style of hszy bombast, through which the subject in the minutest actions of his lite appears magnified to the proportions of a hero. Houston is one of those met, more numerous than we are apt to believe in these prosaic time., whose life, from its varied phases, possesses something of the interest of a romance. A self-relying man, whose lot has been cast in strange places, he has wrought out for himself a wild aad ad venturous career. A simple and authentic narrative of that career would be found sufficiently attractive though it might want the embellishments of syste• 'natio exaggeration. Houston was born a few miles from Lexington, in Virginia, on the god of March, 1793. His parents were poor, but his ancestors we are assured may be traced back to the Highland' of Scotland. Young Sam does not appear to have owed much to early education. " He is said (however) at that time to have learned to read and write, and to have gained some imperfect ideas of ciphering." When about 13 years old he lost his father. The family then emigrated to the west, and settled on the backs of the Tennessee. Sam took to reading Pope's Homer, and working in the fields, but being at last compelled by " fraternal tyranny" to go into a merchant's store, ho decamped from behind the counter, and went and took up his abode with the Red men of the prairie. With these new comrades he lived several years , returning eccesionally to the abodes of civilised life, to purchase some little article of taste or utility for his Indian friends. His liberality involved him in pecuniary engagements. To relieve himself from these, he returned to Tennessee, and opened a school, in which he professed to teach " the children of the pale-faces" the science of "common things." Haring realised enough money to pay his debts, he shut up his school, and in 1813 enlisted io the ranks. " Most of our readers are doubtless familiar with tionalise of the day ; and true to the oompanions of his youth, he has always shown himself a friend to the red' man, and a staunch defender of his interests. That he is not an abolitionist we gather from the ex pressed opinion of his biographer, to the effect that the negro has been elevated in the social scale by the ictioo of slavery. Nevertheless "ho has been a do. mocrat all his life," and " has stood forth among the brightest, the greatest, and the best impersonations of the spirit of American patriotism." Such is General Sam Houston, a candidate for the presidency of the United States. Of this biography As a literary effort, as we have before intimated, we cannot speak in high terms. But the book is well worthy of perusal, for the light it throws upon the present state and opinions of party in America. loto the real nature and merits of the coming struggle it is not necessary for us to enter here. We could wish, however, that the writer of the work before us had been more circumstantial and pectin in dealing with this part of his subject. But u the book is written for Amerieses, it may be sufficiently full for them, to whom all the intrigues and manteuvres of party are familiar; and therefore we will not preen such an ob jection against a useful and readable volume.
