The application of the joint-stock principle to Banking and Exchanges, under the control and general management of boards of di. ectors in London, has proved so eminently suc cessful in the Brit,sh colonies and dependencies, more parti cularly in the East and West Indies, that it is deemed •xpe dlent to intro uc,. that system into the Continent of Europe, With which our commercial intercourse is now so great as to demand additional facilities and satety in support of our mu tual monetary transactions. , B anking on the En t riish system, and with English capital, 'las already been applied with success to foreign countries in the Instances of the ottoman Bank as regards Turkey. and the Bank of Egypt in Egypt, both conducted under Royal Charters of Incorporation. Other companies have more re cently been established, with similar objects, under the Limited Liability Act. The Directors pr.,pGsc to take powers to apply for a special Charter for this Bank.

Notwithstanding that several new Marine Insurance Com panies have been established within the last few years, it is generally recognised that the means of effecting marine in "rances are not sufficient to meet the increasing expansion of trade, insurers being now driven to effect their insurances in remote towns in the provinces, in Ireland and Scotland, and on the Conti n ent s of E ur ope and Ameri ca . hea actual pric.. of s h a res in the existing Marine Insur ftc h e , Companies demonstrate clearly that the business is ' remunerative. Liverh new Companies one only has been established in 001, ad it has already secured a very large and lucra tive business therefore, More than half the exports and imports of the kingdom pass through the port of Liverpool, and there is no doubt, that another Company having its Chief Offices in ' 4O ll and Liverpool will meet with ample support. t• inder these circumstances the British and Foreign Marine ▪ num Company has been established. I The business of the Company will be c3nfined to the issu ,ng of policies on freight and goods only, and it is expressly this as a fundamental element in the constitution . of th Co d, that no insurance shall he effected on the ships emselves. „The principle of limited liability, as applicable to insurance e la Panlcs, came into operation during the month of Nov(m . Der last. The Directors, observing that in banking and other !niPortant commercial enterprises limited liability has met w.th Princi • universal favour, have adopted it as an unalterable ,„ Pe in the present undertaking. 4,ine Directors, therefore, express the greatest confidence in ▪ P. success of this Company 'Zell provision has been made by the Directors for the pre romotion money.

GODFATHERS' GIFTS.--The custom in ques tion is probably of older date than Chris tianity itself, and certainly older than its intro duction into Northern Europe. It prevailed uni versally among our Pagan ancestors, the old Teutons and t , candinavians, for with them it was a social law that whoever bestowed a name upon another was bound to accompany it with a gift. There is a curious illustra tion of this ancient rule in a legend which is preserved in the preface to the code of laws of notharis, king of the Lingobards or Lombards, The original name of this people was Winiler or Winils, and they had for rulers the two brothers Agio and lbor, with their mother Gambara. Once they were at feud with the dukes of the Vandals, and the latter summoned them either to pay tribute or fight. The \Visas chose the alternative of battle, where upm Ass and Atari, the dukes of the Vandals, went to Woden or Odin, the king of the gods, and prayed that he wou'd give them victory. lie answered, "I will give victory fi,ou:fbatande victory.women must "At to that party which first meets my eye at sunris e.

DEPUTATION TO THE AMERICAN MINISTER Yesterday afternoon a deputation from the exe cutive committee of the Emancipation Society waited on his Excellency the American Minister, in Portland-place, for the purpose of presenting him with a resolution, agreed upon at a special meeting of the committee, approving President Lincoln's Proclamation. Among the gentlemen comprising the deputation were the Hon. and Rev. Baptist •Noel, M.A., Mr. P. A. Taylor, M.P., Mr. Benjamin Scott, F.R.S A., Chamberlain of London, Rev. Newman Hall, LL.B., Rev. R. Everest, Rev. J. H. Rylance, Mr. W. Evans (chairman of the Emancipation Society), Mr. Edmond Beales, barrister-at-law ; Mr. W. Shaen, M.A.; Messrs. W. Hargreaves, Jacob Bright, H. J. Slack, James Beal, J. Gorrie, Harry Taylor, Washington Wilke, F. W. Cesson (hon. sec.), A. H. Dymond, W. Farmer, R. Moore, &c. Mr. Evans appropriately introduced the deputa tion, after which Mr. Cheston read the resolution, as follows : " That this committee, constituted without respect to political party or social distinctions, for the development of British anti-slavery feeling, has learned with profound sa tisfaction the issue, on the let. of January, of President Lincoln's Proclamation, declaring the freedom of all persons held as slaves in the States, or parts of States, in rebellion against the United States Government. That the Presi dent's injunction to the persons declared free to abstain from violence, except in self-defence, and to accept reason able terms of hired service, with the offer of military em ployment under the United States Government, is an effec tual rebuke to the imputation that servile war was contem plated by the Proclamation, or that the liberated negro would be left to starvation and crime. That this committee rec3gnises in the limitation of that declaration of freedom to the districts so described no indifference on the part of the President and his Cabinet to the injustice and evil of slavery in other districts of the Union, but an act of sub mission to the Constitution, and of faithful regard to their official oaths. That this committee also connects with this Proclamation of freedom, under the authority of martial law, the offer of compensation to loyal slaveholders for the loss of their slaves and that great scheme of emancipation sub mitted to Congress in the Message of Dec. 1, 1862, as an amendment to the Constitution. That those acts, taken together, and with them other measures tending to the free dom and equality of the subject race, inspires this committee with hearty confidence in the anti-slavery purposes of the United States Government. That this committee therefore offers to President Lincoln and his ministers, through their representative in this country, its warmest congratulations upon the auspicious aspect they have given to this now year, and joins with the President in invoking for these acts of freedom, justice, and mercy the considerate judgment of mankind and the gracious favour of Almighty God.' " Mr. TAYLOR, M.P., expressed the great pleasure he felt at the course the American Government had lately taken in regard to slavery. That course would greatly strengthen the people of this country, many of whom had been misled as to the origin and re sults of the war. Slavery bad been one of the causes which had sown dissensions between the two coun tries. He therefore believed that the Proclamation would not only tend to the entire abolition of sla very and the continuance of the Union, but that it would greatly conduce to a lasting peace between England and America. (Hear.) The Hon. and Rev. BAPTIST NOEL said he cor dially approved Mr. Lincoln's policy. He had ob served Mr. Lincoln's honest intention to maintain the Constitution on the one hand, and to do what the Constitution allowed, on the other, for the libe ration of the slave. The President had used the war power which had been put into his hands, and he (Mr. Noel) hoped that, under God's blessing, it might be the means of brining the rebellion to a close. In abstaining from taking the -same course in the Border loyal States he recognised the Presi dent's submission to the Constitution. But he (Mr Noel) hoped and trusted the loyal States would ac cept the liberal offer which the Government had made; and that, before long, America would be free from the stain of slavery. (Applause.) The Rev. NEWMAN HALL said the opinion of this country on the American struggle had been greatly misrepresented. The leading newspapers, which were supposed to represent public opinion, really did not represent the feelings of the masses. Many of the upper and middle classes had been misled on the question, but the working classes had no'. No meetings had been called in support of 81" very, while the meetings had been held against it bad been of the most triumphant character.• All tLe op position that had been attempted had been.an utter failure. He would just give one illustration of the inconsistency of those who misrepresented public opinion. In the Times of the day before there had been a leading article, in the first paragraph of which the President had been con demned, on the high ground of philanthropy, for not issuing the Proclamation, while in the next pa ragraph he had been condemned for what he had done on the ground that he had invaded the Con stitution. Now, when one paragraph in a leading journal contradicted another, he did not think there was much danger that the great body of the people would fall into error on the question. (Hear.) Mr. JACOB BRIGHT said he concurred in what had already been said. In Lancashire, where they should find opposition to the continuance of the war, if they were to find it anywhere, the working classes were almost unanimously in favour of the North. He had seen the question tested in Roch dale and many other places, and in these places he had seen a strong, warm, and earnest feeling in favour of emancipation displayed. (Approbation.) His EXCELLENCY then replied in the following terms :—Gentlemen, I receive this expression of the sentiments of so respectable a body with great plea sure and great satisfaction. I need not say how encouraging such manifestations will be to those persons in my country represented by the Presi dent of the United States, who have been di iven into the necessity of maintaining such a pAinful struggle as has been carried on by them in Ame rica in devotion to great principles of pub.:c law and public order. I am very much encourag d by the circumstance that there is growing here, and in Europe generally, a better conception than has heretofore prevailed of the principles involved in the struggle. The election of Mr. Lincoln was a great declaration of the majority of the people of the United States in favour of human freedom. The signification of it was that the persons then elected to places of responsibility should be so far imbued with that principle as that, while they carried on the Government in the spirit of freedom, they should at the same time avoid the necessity of a struggle of physical face. It was the conviction on the part of the opponents of that policy that the result would be as certain by that process, though perhaps much slower, that drove them into the desperate measure of stopping it at the threshold by violence. The consequence was that the Govern ment was attacked at its very foundations. The struggle to preserve it has been going on from that time to this. If, therefore, there has been what might otherwise be thought extraordinary haste and precipitate energy in any of the measures which have been taken by the Government, it has not been owing so much to any will of their own, as to the fact that the violence of the resistance has caused the necessity for them. I think the idea which it is desirable to present distinctly is this—that the struggle has been one of self-defence against the aggressive system that was threatening destruction to the whole edifice of government as it stood, for the reason that it was too favourable to freedom. And with regard to this proclamation, the desire on the part of the President of the United States has been, as I conscientiously believe, not to hasten the measure of emancipation any faster than popular sentiment in the Slave States would demand, nor any faster than the emergency should dictate, sr, in other words, s imply so to act as to prevent those very convulsions which war is too ap t t o precipi tate. Therefore , in all matters incidental to the maintenance of his policy, regard has been steadily had to the possible avoidance of those dangers of ser vile war which necessarily must have been foreseen by Rll thoughtful persons daring the contest. There fore, while always keeping in view the ultimate con sequences of this most remarkable, and, I may say, unprecedented struggle, I trust that the great results which we all hope to arrive at will be eventually reached, not perhaps immed;ately, not perhaps 1 o-day or to-morrow, or the next day, but ultimately, by a steady perseverance in one course, which may force the consent of all parties, and yet avert the fearful consequences which he might naturally ap prehend. I am extremely gratified i n the assur ances which have been given by several gentlemen with respect to the state of popular feeling in Eng land on this subject. I have myself had occasion to notice the fact that, although some of the exponents of the public sentiment have appeared at times to be exceedingly harsh upon the United States, yet that when opportunity offered for an appeal to the people themselves the sentiment has uniformly responded to the policy which the United States Government have enunciated. I am, therefore, encouraged to hope that the clouds which have hitherto gathered and at times somewhat portentously, over the ami cable relations of the two countries have now more and more the appearance of vanishing from the sky. I feel sanguine that the expression of sympathyfrom here; which I have been lately the medium of re peatedly - communicating to my countrymen, will have the effect of clearing away many impressions that may have been received by reading the attacks of hostile journals, and taking them too much as the true expression of the sentiment of the people. I think, by understanding distinctly—which they will now have the opportunity of doing—that the policy of Great Britain is not retrograde on the sub ject of slavery, wherever it may yet exist, and that it is true to the former pledges it so nobly gave to the world of its devotion to the principle of human freedom—the growing conviction of that fact will have the effect in America of restoring those ami cable relations and reviving those warm sentiments which ought to be entertained between the two kindred "peoples at all times. Gentlemen, I shall no longer detain you. I will just say that I shall have pleasure in communicating to my Government a knowledge of the sentiments which have been ex pressed here by you to-day. The deputation then thanked his Excellency for the courtesy with which he had received them, and withdrew. THE CHASE OF THE ALABAMA. (From the New Yoyk Times, Jan. 3.) The failure of our naval vessels to capture the Alabama before this time has caused the most er roneous impressions to prevail relative to the doings of the navy department. The public has been so far misled in this matter that it is only right to state the facts of the case. Notwithstanding the still un checked success of Captain Semmes, it is beyond contradiction that the history of the American, Eog lisb, or French Navy furnishes no parallel for the feats accomplished by our naval authorities in con nexion with the much dreaded pirate. In times of peace we had six navy yards which were pretty generally kept going, providing for the current wants of the 40 men-of-war we used to have in com mission. When war came upon us Norfolk and Pensa cola were swept away, leaving onlyNewYork, Phila delphia, Boston, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, (Washington being an ordnance yard chiefly), avail able. And these have had to fit out a series of squadrons in 15 months which could not be armed elsewhere in the same time. We have now over GO vessels more in commission than in England, and to keep their wants supplied, to keep them repaired, always relieved at the proper time, and to have ships approaching completion as others wear out, is one item of the daily work of the four navy yards named. Besides doing it well time has been found within the brief space of three months to equip a fleet for the purpose of overhauling the Alabama, which is now represented in every sea. In order to estimate the extraordinary energy required to accomplish this, it is only necessary to know that not one vessel in 40 at Mr. Welles's command would be worth anything for the business. The proper ships had to be first picked out, and as they all need great alterations, and as some of them were at the furthest end of the blockade, time was required to bring them home and put them in proper trim. And now, after 12 weeks' work, the following fleet is on the ocean, every vessel belonging to it a match for the Alabama, save in speed, and several well able to overhaul her : Vessels.

Nor does it include vessels fitted up elsewhere, and sent to the yards for " final preparations," which often occupy weeks ; storeships were provisioned , transports commissioned and sent away, and other work done which should be performed if troops were to be fed or a blockade maintained. We challenge any naval Power in the world to show such a twelve weeks' work as this. Under the circumstances, the mere manning of such a fleet as ours, and kseping it supplied with beef, bread, butter, cheese, flour, raisins, apples, &c., is marvel lous. France c h a llenged the world to equal her sending off 14,000 men in transports, and about ten Glen-of-war, in two weeks. We have sent as many ia a week, if the everlasting c h ang i ng of crews, re lieving and reshipping, were taken into accoun t. While all these facts are true, it may seem strange RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST.

It will be interesting to recapitulate the course taken by the railway revenue of the empire last year. The receipts for each quarter were as follows, as compared with the cor responding periods of 1861: 1867. IF6I. luereabe. Docrofteo.

These returns do not include the earnings of a few small lines, but they are sufficiently conclusive to enable a general idea to be formed of the course of railway affairs during the two years. The mileage to which the figures refer was 10,084 miles, Jan. 4, 1862, as compared with 9,846 miles, Jan. 4, 1861; 10,145 miles, April 5, 1862, as com pared with 9911 miles, April 5, 1861; 10,274 miles, July 5, 1862, as compared with 9,951 miles, July 5, 1861; 10,485 miles, Oct. 4, 1862, as compared with 10,186 miles, Oct. 4, 1861; and 10,557 miles, Dec. 27, 1862, as compared with 10,186 miles, Dec. 27, 1861. It appears probable that, not withstanding this increase of mileage and productive power, the aggregate receipts last year would have experienced a diminution in consequence of the depression of trade if the influence of the Exhibition had not supervened. The year 1 1 opened pretty well, an increase of £9,017 having been noted in the week ending Jan. 4, of £6,490 in the week ending Jan. 11, and £1,281 in the week ending Jan. 18. For the next 13 weeks, however, there was a continuous decrease— viz., £18,185, jam 25 , £24,281, Feb. 1; £16,614, Feb. 8; £13,874, Feb. 15; £11,840, Feb. 22; £17,630, March 1; £22,434, March 8; £11,485, March 15; £22,157, March 22; £50,595, March 29 ; £34,160, Aprils; £29,73VApril 12; and £2,5")1, April 19. The Exhibition was now close at hand, and an increase of £6,770 took place in the week ending April 26, In the next week, however, depression again became mas ter, and there was a reduction of £1,590. In the week end ing May 10 the balances again inclined the other way, and an increase of £323 appeared. The Exhibition movement had not yet commenced, and a decrease of £23,539 appeared in the week ending May 17, of £56,951 in the week ending May 24, and of £19,681 in the week ending May 31. At last, however, the tido decisively turned, and increases were recorded as under :—£45,525, June 7 ; £27,134, June 14 ; £16,177, June 21; £37,444, June 28 ; £42,213, July 5 ; £26,799, July 12; £25,220, July 19; £23,024, July 26; £35,310, Aug. 2 ; £33,918, Aug. 9 ; £39,866, Aug. 1 6 ; £36,260, Aug. 23; £39,258, Aug. 30; £49,264, Sept. 6 ; , £14,771, Sept. 13 ; £36,793, Sept, 20 ; £35,619, Sept. £15,286, Oct. 4; £26,489, Oct. 11; £16,116, Oct. 1 8 ; £ 954 ° Oct. 25 ; and £17,980, Nov. 1. The influence ofethbeeen Exhi bition now ceased, and it might, perhaps, ha ve This, vex pected that the increase would have ce as ed a how ever, was not the case, an augmentationNofof. 22 ; £14,090, ,443 appearing Nov. 8 • £14,800, Nov. 15; £ 18,095, ' Nov. 29; £17,756, Dec. 6; an d £12,7 1 9, Dec. 13. In th e ex d ecre ase of £4,260, but the fi na l week nest fth t week yearethere was a presented the satisfactory increase of £36,000. Thus, in 18 wok of the year there was a decrease, and in 34 an increase. It is interesting to notice how steadily rail way receipts rise as the year advances and more genial wea the Thus, r e ncourages travelling , --us, in the fi rs t week of Jan., 1862, the amount acquired was £463,265 ; in the first week of F e b,, £172,171; in the first week of March , £466 290 ; in week o the first week of April, £191 , 7 20; in the first ' f* M ay, £529,860 ; in the first week of June £76 474 ; in the first week of July, £579,332; and in th e first wee k o f August, £641,513. As the days began to shorten, so the receipts began to decline, falling to £634,588 in the fist week of Sept., £612,666 i n the first week dOct , £559,960 in the first week of N ov ., and £ 515,030 in the first. week week of Dec. It must lie admitted that the fluctuations indicated by the returns represent pretty accurately the state of the country. Thus, the reason why the figures for last autumn compared favourably with those for the corresponding period of 1851 was that the depression caused by the American troubles had ceased then to exert any comparative effect, being common to both periods ; while in the spring of 1861 it was little felt, and the traffic statements for the spring of 1862 consequently did not constrast well with their predecessors. It is satis factory to note that, notwithstanding the continued inter rOption in the ordinary courses of industry, the now year his opened well. The absence of the Exhibition stimulus this year cannot but tell upon the receipts of 1863, but if the American complications could be adjusted all would go well, • THE 'WESTERN MAIN DRAINAGE. Mr. FREEMAN brOlight up the. followin report of the Western Main Drainage of the Metropolis : " Your Honourable Board on Friday last (No 4) having instructed your committee to consider as to the desirability of rescinding the order of the board of the `29th of Jane, 1853 (N'o. 4), dealiiig with the Western Division Drainage, and as to the discharge of the sewage into the proposed ltdv level sewer, and also as to the capabilities of lite northern outfall works now being executed for carrying off such addi- , 3ac t h iegle a citt t oirntf i ): l o: t l3 h i:ssv o tewesu y ati c esi a lasu r niind l : S iss : ert S ertioch t n h t:di e s tional sewage, your cotnniitteo have directed their careful attention to the subjects comp Ind in Such reference, will probably be in the recollection of honourable members Bidder and Hawkosley and your engineer on the Main Drainage of the si t ut t e n er d hat t ion h e N a y t a,,,g t vheiaazt:iits pert, so far as related to the scheme for dealing with the drain • First, to -carry the sewage of the district into thegeneral inter• with the Therms ; and your hon. board, after (levet ing much consideration to those two questions, and having regard to the difficulties Which presented themselves in deal ing with the drainage of the) district, by reason of its low level and the consequent increased cost for pumping, ulti mately decided to tied with it exceptionally, and to adopt (ho Plan of deodorisation as suggested, which had already received Cubitt,,Mr. Bazalgette, Mr. neywood, end other engineers. the sanction of Mr. F. Foster, Mr. R. Stephenson, Sir W. "Your committee have conferred with your engineer as to the capability of the main outfall sewers to discharge the sewage coming from the western district, and they find that the capacity of those sewers is sufficient, at all events for a veryconsiderable period,to reed go the se wage from that area; that:being the case the question of conveying the sewage of the western district into the low level system, and ulti mately to the outfall at Barking, resolves itself into' one of expense, 'and your committee find that the c - .'st of increasing the, use _of:tlintw_e level sewers and providing _the requisite additional pumping power will amount in round numbers to about £180,000; and although this sum is a large one, "conveyed to the point. of your committee, aflor a most anxious- consideration of tho subject; aro nrmnimously of opinion that' it should be incurred; and that the western area should be treated differently.from that of the other portions' of the metro polis,' but that the Whole of the sovi4g,e; notwithstanding o th u e tia 4 ll l a i t t4 t a r l i.l e n o g at br s e h ek " , l a d nd b t e hey accordingly recommend That the resolution of the board, of the 29th Jute, ISIS (No. 4), directing the formation of deodorising works at Fulham, be rescinded ; that the sewage from the - western area be carried- into the Low-level Sewer to - be conveyed 4a Barking Creek, dud that the engineer be instructed to pre pare the:necessary plans and_estimates for the works.' (Signed) "JOHN TRAVAITES. "ROBERT FREEMAN. " EDWARD COLLISON." The hon. member moved the adoption of the recom mendation of the committee. tll : Lot oridaf two w i r 08 1 1 leea,ssr Mr. TITE. M.P., at some length went into a his tory of the resolution they wished to rescind. At the time it was passed the main drainage scheme was not decided upon, and the sum of .£200,000 was thought to be a large aiim :of money, but in compa rison with the works nowin progress it was a trifle. Although the members of the hoard in 1858 were, no doubt, justified in the course they adopted, yet circumstances had changed since then, and they were now right in rescinding the resolution they had then come to. Mr. NEWTON went into the debates that had occurred in 1858 on the subject, and considered the circumstances warranted the board in projecting those works, but now that a more complete scheme was being carried out those works ought not to be proceeded with. Mr. CARPMAEL and Mr. D'IFFANGER supported the motion. Mr. SAMUDA said the question was not the reso lution of 1858, but the position of affairs at , the pre sent time. If he had been a member of the board in 1858 he should have voted for the resolution, and now that circumstances were altered he should vote for rescinding it. Mr. CRELLIN thought the board in 1858 came to a proper conclusion, and ho thought nothing had oc curred since to induce the board to alter its opinion. Mr. WILKINSON said that when the resolution was passed, it was accepted only as an economical mode of purifying the sewage, but now, as it could be carried away through the main drainage works,. he would vote for its being so carried, as he believed it to be a saving of expense to the ratepayers. Mr. DIXON reminded the board that, according to the present plan, if any obstruction should take place, or if there should be any failure in the works, the district of Fulham would be flooded, and he would b,y no party to placing that locality in such a position. Mr. H. LOWMAN TAYLOR supported the motion, because, if the plans of the board were not carried out, the system of drainage in the metropolis would not be perfect. Mr. FREEMAN, in reply, said that in 1868 the re solution was adopted only as a temporary measure, and so great was the difference of opinion on the part of the members, that the board deferred buy ing the land necessary for the works until the latest moment. He, therefore, hoped the board would unanimously adopt the motion. The board tnen divided, when the motion was carried by a majority of 33 to 1. A deputation of medical gentlemen, principally medical officers of health, consisting of Drs. Thom son, Aldis, Challice, Gibbon,l3arclay, Viner, White man, Iliff, and Hillier, and Messrs. Burge, Liddle, and Re/idle, were in attendance to give their advice and assistance to the board if necessary. The CHAIRMAN said that the board having adopted the report nearly unanimously there would be no necessity for hearing the deputation. to be heard by one The cour tesy, decided on hearing one of th em. Mr. BURGE then sa id t h e proceedings of that of thei rgentlemen, number, however, the board, wishing asa matter of day had rendered th e i r l a b ours very light. It was their duty to watch over the health of the metropolis, and whatever steps they took were only takettin the public interest, and w ith no d es i re to obstirilet the board in their operations. He was quite sure that the decision of the board that day would be received by the whole of the medical pro fession as a boon, and would be a lasting benefit to the metropolis. The deputation then withdrew. The contract was given to Mr. Dethick, subject to the usual securities. The routine business having been disposed of, the board adjourned. ON SPEAKING TERMS WITH DR. JOHNSON. — One of the most remarkable connecting links be tween the present and the past, was Samuel Rogers, who lived until the close of 1855, yet who once went with a young literary friend to the house of Dr. Johnson in Bolt court, wiih a view to consult him about their writings. They were at the very door, when terror took pos session of their souls, and they fled from the tremen dous deity within. Rogers, however, must often have th e Lev i a th an rolling seenabout among the h u man billows of Fleet•street ; and he shook hands, when he was a youth, with the Doctor's special horror, Jack 'Wilkes. Walter Savage Landor, who was nine years old when Johnson died in 1784, is still spared to us. Had he ever seen the great dictator of letters, he would probably recollect him. The time has not long gone by, when it was no uncommon thing to meet with men who could speak of Johnson from personal remembrance; yet Johnson had been touched for the king's evil by Queen Anne. The writer has known two men, one of whom had conversed with the lexicographer, while the other had only teen him in the streets. The former, at the time of the interview, was a studious youth, preparing himself for a literary career, in which he afterwards acquired some name. He had gone into a bookseller's shop to inquire for some classical author, and found Johnson sitting there. The latter, seeing the young man poring over a Greek or Latin book, asked to look at it, questioned him about h;s studies, and received such satisfactory answers that he returned the volume with the impressive sen tence, uttered in his most dignified and yet blandest man ner : 'You may go on, sir; you may go on." The youth. thus magnificently ordained, as it were, ex cathedra, w as James Boaden, susequently author of a " Life of John Kemble," and of a novel which attracted attention, called " The Man of Two Lives." He survived until 1839, and somethinggreater of the J o h nson i an r amiability. His de prolongedmanner,thtooutghha that 1 softened atep period i w o t h gre portment and modeof delivery were at once formal and suave, Ho was fond of the Johnsonian " sir ;" and his respectful politeness in addressing ladies was altogether that of the o ld sc hool. Like Joh nson, Boaden loved nothing better than to "fold his l egs and have his talk out ;" and, being a man of large reading and cultivated mind, his conversation was well worth listening to,—Dicken's 6 .ded (4 Year Rentz'," 1. 18. ). 12. 5. 3. 27• L. 18. 27• . 20. . 21. .....••• ______,. ), the BOI" of A avia Tlick r es t.. hed, aril Tish ken the uhn om" .nn, Ad, bert
