THI111) EDITION. THE _MAGAZINES. Blackwood's Magazine. Fraser's Magazine. "A Week in Florence" is an animated sketch of a residence in that fair city, and many descrip tions are ably given. The first day was rendered remarkable by a fog. A ludicrous picture is drawn of the contrast presented between the com forts of an English home, and the ,defective ap. pliances that there exist to defend one from the outward atmosphere. The following days are fully occupied with various visits to the chef d'oeuvres of art, some of which are related in an impressive manner. The four chapters of the Luck of Ladys mede" advance the story considerably, and are more over full of adventure, and display many exciting ' passages. The reader feels interested in the un fortunate old abbot, Martin, whose kindness of heart redeems in some degree his laxity of dis cipline in the government of his monastery. The clouds begin to gather darkly over his head, and his existence goes far to prove that the calm of the cloister consisted more in words than reality, since all the passions and prejudices of the outer world were sown broadcast in the retreat, and flourished the more vigorously , as they had nothing from without to rival them in the thoughts of the brothers. The bold awl unscrupulous temper of Sir Godfrey at last seems to burst through all restraints, and to be determined to give vent to all its fierce feelings whoever might stand in the way. In the next division of this tale it is most likely that many More important occurrences will be registered. There is an elaborate criticism on the "Idylls of the King," which is in its general tone distinguished for discrimination and taste, though of the two the writer is rather too favourably disposed towards Tennyson. It is a most interest ing paper to study, as the most important points of the books are described, and the characters of the poems subjected to a careful analysis. There is nothing to differ from in the general purport of the opinions expressed regard ing the superiority of the two last Idylls over the former ones. It is said that Tennyson is a poet who dwells more with contemplation than action ; his story seems often a trouble to him to tell, there fore it is better that it should be simple, Concluding with these remarks— Even his best characters do not stand alone, and reveal themselves wholly to us by their own words and deeds— the rare prerogative or ',no c.catioaaof the greatest masters of song; he is forced to eke them out by much description, mediate or immediate; and therefore they rather resemble sonic of those works of early Italian art, where much dra pery oonceals the defects of the figure, while the head looks forth on us with almost angelic beauty, than the men and women, instinct throughout with life, of Italian art in its perfection. He rises very high sometimes, but he has not strength of wing for very long flights. Therefore he has done most wisely not to attempt an Epic, in which he must have failed (the names of those who, in any age or country, have succeeded in that truly great attempt are soon counted), but to devote instead four short poems to tho earliest tradi tions of his country. Of these, we wish we could say that all are worthy alike of their subject and of their author; but at least the two last will spread the renovated renown of Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot, far as the English language extends; and (far different from their ancient prose predecessors, the reading of which the unhappy Fran cesca remembers in the shades below to deplore as the in strument of her destruction), will by the pure and lofty sentiments which they tend to foster, as well as by the de light they cannot fail to give, make no inconsiderable addi tion to the great debt of gratitude which his country al ready owes to her worthy son, Alfred Tennyson. Captain Speke's discovery of the Victoria Nyanza Lake, the supposed source of the Nile, as recorded in his journal, is one of those publications all must feel a wish to become acquainted with: There is always something attractive in the descrip tion of that river whose source has for so long been a mystery, and the mention of the problem being solved is sufficient to arouse curiosity and excite interest to the highest degree. It is,' therefore, to be expected that few will leave this journal of Nilotic adventnre unperus....d. There is an article on the "Future of India," that contains some very wise remarks on the state'of affairs. It is said that" the whole question of Indian government has become a military question." Further on the writer adds that they are sadder and wiser men than they were, feeling the burden of a terrible nightmare clinging to them. Hence arises the ardent desire so universally felt to get home, while most married men will consider that India is no longer. a place for women and children, and therefore a life there will comprise more hardships than before. The paper concludes by observing that the " greatest danger that lies before us at present is the discontent Which is convulsing not the native but the European mind." These are solemn facts to dwell upon, and it would be well if they were more generally regarded, as all are too prone to think when the victory is gained that all danger is over, and neglect needful preparations until a new difficulty arises and a new stormbursts forth. The papers on " The French on Queen Mary," and Vaughan's " Recollections in English History," are well written, and present. a variety to the more heavy ones on political subjects of the tour. The former is the most noticeable, and claims attention. Dublin University. " Artist and Craftsman " is continued in a very long instalment. The story is well written, and presents us with many varied phases of character. Clara Jerningham is a strange yet attractive being, who, notwithstanding all her endeavours to keep herself as retired as possible, is continually be coming mixed up with momentous affairs, and at last is obliged to quit the country where she had earned so much applause. On the whole, this tale is a very exciting one. There is a paper on " The Marshals of Napoleon the Great," which is well worthy of perusal. It is only a short sketch, but replete with stirring records, as it tells of men who were suddenly called from a humble station to fill a place in history. They are here described as "Children of Mars, baptised in fire and blood—a con stellation of war-stars. What a halo, ruddy with the reflections of the battle fields, gleams around the grim warrior-heads of Napoleon and his mar shals ! What a master, and what men !" There is an article on " W. M. Thackeray—Satirist and Humorist" —"which is most interesting and entertaining. This is the first part, which treats of his earlier miscellaneous writings. Few will hesi tate to accord the subject of this memoir a high place among the literati of his age, and it will be acknowledged by the readers who can appreciate his excellencies that ample justice has been ren dered in these pages t o hi s b r illi an t t a l en ts and estimable qualities. One of Thackeray's most en thusiastic admirers was the late lamented Charlotte Bronti : and mention is here made of his portrait being installed as the most cherished of all her household gods, where it even now remains " upon the wall of a little old-fashioned sitting-room, on the ground floor of:a mourn ful-looking house upon the borders of a churchyard hid away among the wild moors of Yorkshire." One of the most noticeable incidents here recorded is that which chronicles the turning point in the career of this eminent man, when he relinquished the day-dreams of his youth and turned his thoughts to letters—abandoning art. Mr. Thackeray himself gave an account of it when speaking at the National Gallery on the sub ject of Literature : " Had it not been," he said, " for the direct act of my friend who has just sat down, I should most likely have never been included in the toast which you have been pleased to drink ; and I shsuld have tried to be, not a writer but a painter or designer of pictures. That was the object of my early ambition ; and I can remember when Mr. Dickens was a very young man, and had commenced de lighting the world with some charming humorous works, of which I cannot mention the name, but which were coloured light green, and came out once a month ; that this young man wanted an artist to illustrate his writings ; and I recollect walking up to his chambers with two or three m drawings in y hand, which, strange to say, he did not find suitable. But for that unfortunate blight which came over my artistical existence, it would have been my pride and my pleasure to have endeavoured one day to find a glace on these walls for one of my performances." An eighth number of the " Season Ticket" fur nishes a fund of amusement by its spirited style and satirical comments. Its title this time is " Our Neighbours and Distant Relations." The sketches of Heinrich Heine and Jaques van Artevelde are at tractive in their different ways. The great German poet is sufficiently celebrated for his name to secure attention , and it is satisfactory to follow his career as it is hero traced before us. It is observed that till the appear ranee of Mr. Bowring's translations, of his works the productions of Heine were not familiar to Eng lish readers, but it is to be hoped they will now rank with English classics. In the eventful life of J. Artevelde there is enough to fo rm material for an exciting article, and such is the one now before us. The Flemish patriot shared the fate of many of his race in his life of turmoil, his violent death, and in the misrepresentations of his enemies which sur vived himself. The career of this man is—one among many of the mediaeval records that are en• compassed with perils and replete with strife. A very able paper on two' of the great chiefs of modern Parliamentary warfare arrests the attention of the reader of Fraser. It is entitled " Pitt and Canning—Fifty Years of Parliamentary History," and is from the pen of the writer who signs him self " Shirley," and whose productions are generally distinguished by moderation and refinement. It is not difficult to discover in the present instance to which side his predilections incline him. The two great Tory leaders are the owners of his political allegiance, though his criticisms 'are often fair and unbiassed. The fifty years which terminated with the death of Canning are those which he passes in review—that eventful half century which saw the French Revolution and the European war, the :close of the life of the great Commoner, the political warfare of Pitt and Fox, and the career BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

ASSAULT ON A MEMBER OF THE JUNIOR UNITED SER VICE CLUB.-Mr. William Barnes, a gentlemanly-looking person, and whose residence is in the country, was charged before Mr. Bingham with assaulting Captain Robert Gor don, of the Junior United Service Club, Charles-street, Haymarket. The defendant, who was labouring under great excite ment, said ho wished for an opportunity to send for his counsel, Mr. Mills. Mr. Bingham said he would hear what the nature of the case was, and, if necessary, ho ,could afterwards send for his legal adviser. Captain Gordon said ho was leaving the Junior United Service Club on the previous night, about 12, to proceed home, and when he got to the bottom of the steps he found the defendant, who was a total stranger to him, standing there. The defendant was obstructing his way, and looked at him in an insulting and menacing way. lie asked what ho meant by obstructing him, when the defendant commenced abusing him, saying, " You -, I'll knock you down." Not wishing an altercation with him, he walked away, with the view of getting a constable, when the de fendant followed him, and sneaking behind him knocked off his hat and smashed it. lie got a constable, and on inking him back to thn Onh he found the defendant in front of it, and he gave him into custody. Charles Lawrence, cab driver, badge 10,226, confirmed a portion of Captain Gordon's evidence, and said the defend ant, on his return from following the captain, said to him that he had knocked off the gentleman's hat and kicked him. Inspector Holden, of the C division, said that from the Lime the defendant was taken into custody he had continued in the same state of excitement as he then appeared. Mr. Bingham said now ho had heard the case ha should not require the witnesses to again atteni, but he should cer tainly require good security for his future conduct, before he should allow him to go, and he must be detained. THAMES. EJECTING A BAD TENANT.—Mr. W. H. Cable, an ex tensive house proprietor, of 28, Old Church. road, Stepney, applied for an ejectment warrant to expel from one of his houses a tenant named John Field, an attorney's clerk, who had not paid him any rent for 13 weeks, and had barri caded his house. The complainant was accompanied by Mr. H. Robins, a broker and appraiser, and it appeared that Field rented a house, 34, Old Church-road, Stepney, at a rental of 4s. 6d. per week, and that no rent had been paid for 13 weeks. All attempts to levy for the rent had been fruitless, for the house was constantly closed, except on Sundays, when no distress could be levied. An attempt was made to serve a notice to quit on the tenant or some member of his family, and that had also failed. The notices to quit, and notices of ejectment were then affixed to tho front of the house, and the period having expired when possession of the house ought to be given to the landlord, he applied for a warrant to enter into possession and eject the tenant. Mr. Cable added that he had repeatedly ap plied for his rent and been treated with derision. Service of the notices having been proved, the Magistrate issued a warrant of ejectment, and intrusted it to Piller, an officer of the court, to execute. He returned shortly after wards and said that he found the house empty and all the furniture gone. The inmates were missing, and had fled after sunset yesterday. The magistrate said that Mr. Cable must put up with the loss of his rent, unless he could - trace his tenant. Tho Police Act gives a very cheap and easy method of ejectment to the landlords of small tenements, and proceed ings which would have occupied several months at an enor mous expense under the old law can now be determined in a few days at an expense of about ss. only.

SERIOUS SHELL EXPLOSION AT WOOLWICH ARSENAL —Yesterday afternoon, at half-past two o'clock, a very serious accident occurred at Woolwich Arsenal, by the unexpected explosion of an 8-inch shell, which had been returned with a number of similar shells as old stores from the Channel Islands. It appears that a gang of la bourers were employed on the wharf in breaking up these missiles, which had previously been tested to ascertain if they were empty, when, on applying the hammer, one of the shells exploded with a loud report, and the men stand ing near were thrown about in all directions. The utmost consternation prevailel, and hundreds rushed to the spot from all parts of the establishment, when it was found that three men, named Daniel Bremmer, Morris Caen, and Wm. Norgrove, had sustained extensive injuries, but fatal results were not anticipated. _ _ _ At a meeting of the Senatus Academicus held on Tuesday, the degree of LL.D. was conferred by acclama tion oit'Lord Brougham : Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh.

Commencing with a brief retro spect of the general features of Lord Chatham's character, the writer, like most other critics, does not award him unqualified praise, but he maintains that Chatham did what no other statesman of his ago could have done. He reconciled the divided and conflicting sympathies of the nation, he made them once more a combined and loyal people. " He found England divided and dispirited; he left it united and exultant." Passing on to the two great rivals who immediately succeeder: Chatham on the political stage, the writer accords the pre-eminence in statesmanship to Pitt. Admitting all the force and fascination of Fox's genius, he remarks, that " '1 he prolonged authority of the son of Chatham was not an accident. What is the explanation ? The nation admired the lavish gifts of the one ; but it had confidence in the other. It is the triumph of character." The disparaging assertion that Pitt's success was only a succession of fortunate accidents is justly contradicted, since history. will hardly de n y him,. Ns hatever his errors in policy, a place among the foremost of our s tat esmen . C om i ng t o th e ti mes of his brilliant pupil an d successor , the writer con fines his eulogium c hi e fl y t o hi s F ore i gn po li cy, on which he asserts th e f ame o f M r. C ann i ng must ul timatelydepend. Tra c i ng th e pr i nc i p l es w hi c h ac tuatel his policy, and its beneficial results, he laments his absence from the Foreign Office during the years between 1810 and 1822. One of his grounds for re gret may be heartily joined in, when we reflect on the misery caused by the Treaty of Vienna. " Had Canning remained in office we may rest assured that he would not have sanctioned the settlement of 1815. Had he remained in office the Holy Al liance' would haveheen nipped in the bud, and the struggle we have lately witnessed—a struggle to readjust on a better defined, and m ore natural basis the distribution of power in Europe—might have been averted." An extract is given from his famous vindication of his policy towards Spain and Portugal, in which he electrified the house by the-assertion that he had "called a new world into existence to redress the balance of the old." The summary of his later years is brief, but the general view taken of the different charac ters of the great statesmen of their time, and of the chief features of their policy, is full of interest. A paper on Indian Finance is written in a clear and lucil manner, and touches on the hardships of the Civil Service. " Holmby House" is continued, and apparently advances to its conclusion. The unfor tunate Humphrey is again in the hands of the rebels, and ,the doom of the King is rapidly ap proaching. The other story which has divided the reader's interest with this historical narrative, the tale of " Sword and Gown," is brought to a conclu sion, which, like the preceding chapters, is written with force and ability. The stern and reckless hero meets a soldier's death in the charge at Balaklava, but the fair and stately heroine, Cecil Tresilyan t re appears by his death-bed in the form of a hospital nurse. Evangeline is no longer alone in her mourn ful re-union with her lover, for many heroines of romance of the present day have donned the grey dress and close cap of the Sisters of Mercy. Tne characters are sketched with vigour and indivi duality, and the style is often forcible. Occasionally, however, it is marred by a straining after effect.

An article on Hallucina tions offers some curious facts fur the attention of the psychologist. An essay, entitled, "Has Poli tical Freedom receded ?" replies to that question in a very unsatisfactory manner, but its logic is not unanswerable. Colbunz's New Monthly Magazine. The recent progress of geographical discovery furnishes the subject of the introductory article, which takes a review of the achievements of science and the advance in knowledge which has been made by modern enterprise and perseverance. The curi ous story of " The Signal Lights" which is appa rently going to relate the marvellous fulfilment of a dream, is proceeded with. We fear some misfor tune is about to befal the fair dreamer, Mrs. Lake. Sir Nathaniel, in his Notes on Note Worthies of every age, avails himself of the wide limits allowed in his title b 3 ., transporting us to the days of Plato, and discussing the somewhat melancholy career ofDion, the Syracusan patriot.

The disciple of the schools and follower of Plato was greater in theory than practice, like many another philosopher before and since. Mrs. Bush by concludes her tale of " The Planter's Daughter," and narrates the insurrection of the negroes and the escape of the heroine, Mrs. Evelyn, from them. It is scarcely fair, however, to allow her " the last word" in the long pending dispute with her hus band as to thelrights of the rival races, as the arguments in favour of social order will not sup port the doctrine of slavery. Professor Ranke's new contribution to historical literature is discussed and several extracts from his History of England are given. " The long night in '37," is a very sin gular paper, of a new kind that has lately ap peared in several periodicals. In this class of papers the hero tells his own story, and relates the fearful affliction that has befallen him in the possession of a supernatural power that isolates him from his fellow-creatures. Sometimes it is the power to foretel events, somc‘imes to read the thoughts of others. On this occasirn it is a more mysterious quality, the victim's time glides with extraordinary rapidity, he lives years while others only exist hours. It is certainly curious, but such a style of writing is open to many objections, and is decidedly morbid in its tone. The episode of Agatha does not improve its sense or attraction. The " Auto biography of Hans Mitterkamp" is continued, and describes the battle-field of Jena. Edward Row sell contributes one of his reflective papers on Church Services, awl Church Dissensions. The ninth number of Stereoscopic Glimpses shows us Young at Welwyn,' watching a thunderstorm, as we can fancy him standing meditating while some of the finer reflections in his immortal "Night Thoughts" flashed across his brain. It is a novel and striking idea to give, as it were, a momentary sight of each of our great poets in his home, and the contrast afforded by some of their circumstances must strike forcibly on the reader. " The Last Days of a Poet" record the mournful story of Heinrich Heine's sufferin as and death, and expresses indignation at the indifference with which Ger many has regarded the loss of her greatest poet of the time. Me United Service Magazine. A paper on "Manning the Navy" attacks boldly the defects and deficiencies in our system of naval management. We have ourselves often called at tention to the evils arising from the changes in the controlling departments with every fluctuation in the strength of rival political factions; and the same arguments are adduced in this article with force and vigour. The following remarks are full of truth, and the facts speak fur themselves` to all unprejudiced persons : Manning the navy is a subject of such vast importance to this country that it should be elevated to the rank of a science. Every branch of the service has its established and distinct department. Paying, victualling, doctoring, steaming, and shipbuildinr, constitute each a department under the Board of Admiralty; but the most important branch of the navy is left almost to chance. The First Sea Lord of the Admiralty is entrusted with the management and culture of this vital branch; but only as a component part of a voluminous whole. What makes this arrange ment still more objectionable is, that the same sea lord is, as it were, a bird of passage. The Surveyor of the Navy, the Medical Director-General, Comptroller of Victualling, Sce., and the Accountant-General, hold permanent offices. These heads of departments, although nominally under the control of certain Lords of the Admiralty, are so much fix tures, that they, generally speaking, instruct, instead of being instructed. But providing men for the navy is left very much to accident, or to the care of irresponsible officials. During the last ten years there have been six changes in this particular office. Some naval lords have taken ono view, some another, and hardly two have been agreed upon the best method of securing a supply of men for the navy. One has favoured continuous service, another has thought so poorly of that plan as to allow the men entered under that engagement to be dispersed. The First Lord for the time being'reeeives instructions from the Premier, and "cut down" or "fill up" becomes the order of the day. The senior Sea Lord, that is, the Manning Lord, must shut his mouth or resign ; the Premier is not to be dictated to by a Lord of the Admiralty. After taking a thorough and searching viow of the subject, the writer concludes by an impressive lament over the inadequate rewards offered to un befriended merit : Let the noble duke who now holds the post of First Lord of the Admiralty look well to the present contrition of tho navy. The ambitious lad who takes the shilling of the re cruiting sergeant, and enters the army, may have his dreams of becoming an officer of rank realised, not so the naval apprentice. The one is cheered by the hope of one day gaining an honourable position in society ; the other knows full well that the summit of his glory is a boatswain's or gunner's warrant. Reform the navy, my lord duke. Now is the time—it may lie now or never. Your grace is lis tening week after week to various plans for improving the service. Now you are troubled with a growl from the old admirals—again, the claims of the commanders and neglectel lieutenants are pressed. The masters have sought to be emancipated, and other officers have had their grievances brought before you for redress. But while attending to these do not forget the claims of the active serving officers, who will have to oppose their shoulders to the enemy ; and more than all, open the gate of promotion to the highest rank to the humblest possessor of merit. When weighing the claims of the different aspirants for rank, turn not to the peerage, nor to the list of illustrious commoners. Listen not to the suggestions of political supporters, but let rugged merit plead her honest cause, and have justice. Then, and then only, will schemes for manning the navy, and for the establishment of a naval reserve, gain the ear and heart of those whom we should encourage to serve in the British marine The terrible losses at sea by the late disastrous gale prove the need and value of good harbours of re fuge. The continuation of the article on this sub ject will scarcely fail to secure attention. Papers on Chinese and Indian affairs, of course, occupy a place. In one of the latter the injustice of some of the sentences passed on the rebel chiefs is dwelt upon. The hanging of Tantia Topee, the Maheatta leader, who was not accused of the darker crimes of the other native chiefs, is contrasted with the provision and safety granted to the heartless bar barians who seem to have forgotten the common attributes of humanity in the tortures inflicted on our countrymen. There is certainly some serious error in such inconsistency. There are several articles on subjects of interest, and the naval and military intelligence of the month is as usual given in full. SURVIVORS OF FR -I .2VKLIN'S COM PANIONS. The _Medical Times says :—" The news recently brought home as to the fate of Sir John Franklin shows very renrirkably the fault committed by Go vernment in neglecting to follow the advice of a well-known member of our profession—Dr. King. It is now known that Franklin's ships were wrecked close to an island—King William's Island—lying off the western land of North Somerset ; and traces of the expedition have been found on the southern shore of this island, at Point Ogle on the continent of America, and at Montreal Island in the estuary of the Great Fish River. Now, in February, 1&45, Dr. King proposed to Lord Grey, then Colonial Secretary, to go by the Great Fish River to the western land of North Somerset to aid the Frank lin Expedition in its survey. Two years afterwards, when anxiety was felt for the fate of the expedi tion, Dr. King made his second offer to Lord Grey to go by the same route to the same coast to search for and assist the expedition in its difficulty. The letter making this offer was dated June 10, 1847, and, curiously enough, it is now shown that Franklin died on the 11th of June, one day only after this letter was written, near the very spot which Dr. King proposed to explore. After Franklin's death, it appears from the records found by Captain M'Clintock, 105 survivors were on the road to the Great Fish River, in April, 1848 ; so that had Dr. King's proposals of 1845 and 1847 been accepted he must have met the party and rescued them. Year after year Dr. King reiterated his warnings:and offers, and in 1856 memorialised tha Admiralty to arrange a combined effort by sea and land, again directed to the precise spot where the remains of the expedition have been found. Had his offers been accepted, not only would our gall-nt countrymen have been rescued, but no ne cessity would have arisen for the expeditions of Ross, Richardson, Collinson, Austin, Penny, Bel cher, or Kellett, at a Government expense of two millions ; nor for the private expeditions under Ross, Kennedy, and M'Clintock, or the American efforts of De Haven and Kane. We do not mention this in any spirit of vain regret, but to point out that a summer land search up the Great Fish River would be devoid of danger, would be inexpensive, and might be successful in rescuing some of the 105 survivors, all of whom can scarcely have perished in a country where there is plenty of game." WASHINGTOY6 FIRST LOVE. A correspondent of the Century, in giving some reminiscences of the old country seat called " The Cottage," in Hanover county, Virginia, relates the following account of Gen. Washington's proposal for the hand of Mary Cary, and his rejection by her father : " Her father wai Wilson Cary, Esq., of Celeys,' in the county of Elizabeth city, descended from the noble family of Hunsdon, in England. His relative, Colonel Archibald Cary, of Ampthith, in Chesterfield, was, at his death, the heir apparent to the earldom. The worthy old gentleman seems, from all we know of him, to have been as proud as the Coneys or the Somersets, and to have thought his family the noblest in the land. He lived in great state, with chariot and horses, plate and velvet and embroidery—a worthy of the old school, fully satis fied with the' order of things,'and enjoyingserenely the good gifts of Providence. His beautiful daugh ter was a great heiress, and had many suitors. The one here alluded to was a young man of very high character, a relative of George Wm. Fairfax, Esq., who lived in Belvoir, on the Potomac ; and here he met with Miss Cary, who came to visit Mrs. Fair fax, her eldest sister. He at once proceeded to fall in love, which he did with an ardour characteristic of his nature. " When Miss Cary went back home to Celeys,' on James river, he followed her like a courhgeous gallant, and laid open siege to the fair fortress. In the good old times, however, something more was necessary than the consent of the young lady, and so the youth duly asked a private interview with the lord of the manor, who listened to him in silence throughout. When the lover had finished Mr. Cary rose, made him a low bow, and said that if this was young Mr. Washington's errand at Celeys,' his visit had better terminate—his daughter had been accustomed to ride iu her own chariot.' And with this allusion to the poor condition of the younger son, the interview terminated. Young Washington bowed and turned away, and in due time married the young widow, Martha Dandridge Curtis, who resembled Miss Cary,' says an authority, as much as one sister ever did another.' " The old tradition does not end here. Many years fled away—Mary Cary was Mrs. Ambler, and her discarded suitor was the man who had just re ceived the sword of Cornwallis at Yorktown, whom the whole civilised world hailed as the greatest among the great, the foremost man,' not only in America, but of ' all the world' He passed the old metropolis, 'Williamsburg, at the head of his victo rious troops, and the people were almost crazy with joy and admiration. The vast multitude nearly prevented his horse from proceeding; the calm statue on horseback passed on serenely. All at once he perceived at a window, or in a crowd, his old love, Mary Cary. He raised his sword and saluted her profoundly. She fainted. But it does not seem that the lovely woman was to blame. She htd not been able to return, the affection of the youth—that was all. She married him who won her heart, EdWard Ambler: He was worthy of this noble lady in rank and character. He was descended through his mother from the great Huguenot house of La Roche Jaqueline, in Vendee, and inherited the honest instincts of his race. At 12 years of age he had been sent for his education to England. He graduated at Cambridge, and then made the grand tour of Europe, returning to Virginia when he was 21. He was married to Miss Cary soon afterwards, became collector of . York ; and was so much respected that when Lord Bottetort came to Virginia as governor he brought a letter of introduction to the collector. He died at 35, and the Revolutionary war break ing out soon afterwards his beautiful widow moved away from the scene of her grief. and took refuge in the ' Cottage' far up in Hanover." Belvoir, the seat of the Fairfaxes, spoken of above, was on the bank of the Potomac, three, four, or five miles below Mount Vernon. The only re mains now of that fine residence is a low mound of [ broken mouldering bricks, covered over with wild vines. - THIS DA Pa' SHIPPING.
