Mathew Paxton. Edited by the author of " John
Drayton," "Ailieford," dec. 3 vols. Hurst and
Blackett.
To those who appreciate a simple, truthful style
this work will be welcome. It shows the calm
even tenour of life in a humble way. It is the
autobiography of a man whose course was run half
a century ago. He was born and brought up in
the Highlands of Scotland, a shepherd's son. But
in his case, as in that of many others who are
weak and afflicted in childhood, nature made com-
pensation in intellectual gifts for what was deficient
in personal and physical attributes. Mathew Pax-
ton was instructed by the clergyman of the district,
in common with his neighbours' sons. These lat-
ter, however, he soon surpassed, and at last his
instructor confessed he was equalled, if not excelled,
by his promising young scholar. The next step
was for Mathew to go to college at Glasgow, which
he was enabled to do in virtue of a charity to
which the more efficient youths were entitled. He
set out. His parents, simple, primitive people,
were much affected at his leaving their solitude
among the mountains for the snares and perils of a
great city. He remarks that, though more than
forty years had gone by since that evening, he still
could hear his mother's voice singing the Psalm
they had chosen out for that night's devotion, as
being suitable for the occasion, commencing thus:—
"Jehovah hear thee in the day
When trouble he doth send,.
Aid may the name of Jacob's God
•
Thee from ail ills defend."
The adventures of the ignorant and unskilled
Loy are sufficiently ludicrous to account for the
derision he metwith in Glasgow. However, he
met with the triumph his talents and industry de-
served, and. some
of the scoffing youths of the
town looked annoyed when
and ill-favoured wanderer from the hills put at
once into the first classes,

see-
ing Mathew a master of arts, a degree of honour
enrwriich he had neve attained himslf. The next
portion of the story is not so pleasing.
Mathew
went to London, where he met no pleasant
friends or companions as he had done in Scotland.
The institution at which he was placed was a
branch society, and limited in scale and narrow in
its undertakings. After two years the hero re-
turned to his own country, and took his last
year at Edinburgh. This was a bright epoch -
in his career. He was enabled to form many
agreeable acquaintances, which were a pleasure and
profit to him in after years, and to renew his friend-
ship with John Walkinsha w, the son of his Glas-
gow master, who had always been a very congenial
spirit. This young man was studying for the law, and
an interesting sketch is given of his course. Mathew
Paxton himself was in training for a Presbyterian
minister. After his collegiate career had satis-
factorily and honourably terminated, he went back
home once more to await his final trial for the
office to which he had devoted himself. In await-
ing this period a great misfortune befel him,
which clouded his hopes at that early point of life,
and cast a shade over the rest of his existence. A
neighbouring clergyman was a great friend of
theirs,. With his family, Mathew had been on inti-
mate terms since childhood. He was sincerely at-
tached to Jane Wood, the eldest daughter, but a rival
stepped iu between him and success. John Ogle, a
young farmer in the vicinity, was a handsome,
dashing, high-spirited young man, possessed of all
those outward attractions and attributes that
Mathew was deficient in. After a painful strug-
gle he gave up hope, and departed to a distant
sphere of action ; he was ordained with-
out difficulty, and set out with faith and zeal
to labour in the holy and sacred work he had
undertaken. He did not, however, succeed ac-
cording to the measure of his wishes, and
soon gladly changed his abode for another.
The new people he took charge of were cele-
brated for a very ungracious and quarrelsome
race, but Mathew Paxton was pleased to have
difficulties to overcome and dangers to surmount,
and so he persevered. Some very interesting
cases aro narrated, in which he took an energetic
part in serving and benefitting his people. Dur-
ing this time his rival, John Ogle, had
married Jane Wood, and they lived near
to him. John Ogle was a firm and true
friend, however, to Mathew Paxton. He was
unconscious of being any hindrance to his hopes,
and soon Mathew became more reconciled to his
fate, and constant intercourse with Ogle increased
his admiration for his good and honest conduct.
After au interval of calm both the parents of Paxton
died suddenly. This completely unnerved him ; they
were his only ties to life, and he felt alone and use-
less. An awful awakening was given to rouse him
from his lethargic despondency ; his dear friend,
John Ogle, whose kindness and attention had
been Like that of a brother, at the time
of his trouble, was killed in a frightful
and sudden manner. In his will he had ap-
pointed Mathew Paxton the guardian of his chil-
dren, and besought him to train them up in a way
befitting their temporal and eternal interests.
The sight of Jane, a widow forlorn and help-
less, of the innocent orphans committed to
his charge, raised the dormant spirit and.
awoke the vacillating will. He found he had
slumbered at his post ; in his dreams of earth and
its sorrows he had neglected his work in the
heavenly vineyard he had undertaken, and he had
deserted the plough to which he had put his
hand in the sight of God and man. In
the concluding page he declares that forty
years have passed away, but he had never
fallen back again. He felt no more a waif
or a stray on the ocean of life, as he had once
imagined himself, but he was assured of
having much to do with the well-doing of others
in private and in public. With this bright
sunset to his day, which had been cloudy and.
stormy many times, he takes his leave of the
reader, and concludes an interesting epitome of the
chances and changes that sometimes befal the
simplest in the most retired walks of life.

THE ENTENTE CORDIALE.—A few days since two
parties, one French and the other English, pitched their
camps on the Pyrenees, within a couple of gun-shots
from each other. The scene of perfect courtesy which
occurred is thus narrated by a correspondent of the
Siecle :—" A guide came to tell us that our neighbours
had no salt, and begged us to give them what we could
spare. 'They want salt,' we cried, `and English too I
'
Ah ! we will realise the Auglo-French alliance - here is
ours. Pray tell them that we are dreadfully hungry,
and short of bread.' Back came the guide with 'a loaf
from the English. We sent a ham • the English replied
with a notable portion of terrine de Neirac, truffied to
the crust. We rejoined by the despatch of a basket
of beautiful Toulouse peaches ; the English again by a
bottle of Malvoisie. We gave up, perhaps with a little
regret, a half bottle of liqueur de chartreuse ; they.
returned a magnificent nougat. At last we decided upon
despatching the best-dressed and most elegant of our
party to exchange compliments with our neighbours.
Monsieur to Baron M—D—, a man of charming man-
ners and tact, was appointed our envoy. He advanced ,•

A DESPERATE FIGHT IN MISSISSIPI.—A Correspondent

Mr. 'Bias had rented a part of Mr. Rupert's land from.
Mr. Hall, and not long since some of the gentlemen in
the neighbourhood, suspecting
Bias of trading with their
negroes, set a trap for him, and caught him. Hall, see-
ing that Bias must leave the place, bought the crop that
was growing on the place, to secure the rent for Mr.
Rupert, because he, _ 2

accused of being accessor to Bias's rascality or conniv-

against Dr. Brown's breast„ and snapped a cap, where-
upon a warrant was issued to arrest Hall, who said that
he would not be taken. I had not been in the house more
than an hour when Hall's horse returned without him,

fired at once. He Is not sure that he shot Hall, but
Hail's shot took effect in Gully's left arm, shivering the

his bridle-arm useless, dropped his pistol and caught the
bridle-rein with his right hand, and then pursued and

both fell to the ground. Gully called on his friends to

in the act of shooting rushed at him. It appears the

disabled, he leaped a fence about 10 feet off, at which

THE NOVICES AT WOOLWICH.

In the early part of the week 41 of the novices, as the
officers and able seamen designate the landsmen who enter
for instruction in the flag-ships at the various ports with
the intention of joining the fleet as ordinary seamen, were
discharged from the Fisgard flag-ship at Woolwich, and
proceeded to join the Algiers, 91, screw steam-ship, Cap-
tain Talbot, before she left Sheerness for Portsmouth and
the Black Sea. Five of the novices were also discharged
to make up the number of the Lynx, screw steam despatch
gun-boat, Lieutenant Commander John P. Luce, previous
to her departure from Woolwich for Greenhithe, Devon-
port, and the Black Sea.

Their lordships have been so pleased with the progress
of the novices instructed on board her Majesty's ship Fis-
gard, their rapid acquisition of nautical qualities, and their
knowledge of naval gunnery, that they have ordered that
the novices at the flag-ship at Woolwich shall in future be
paid their two months advance of wages, and have granted
to them all the other privileges connected with the naval
service. Rear-Admiral Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence has
taken a great interest in the progress of the novices on
board the Fisgard. He has come to Woolwich and passed
several afternoons on board during the present year in wit-
nessing their drill.

" Raby Castle, Sept. 10, 1854.
"Sir,—Having observed in the Times newspaper that
you have taken the trouble of collecting subscriptions
towards liquidating the expenses to which Lieutenant
Perry, of the 46th Regiment, has lately been put in mak-
ing his defence ; and feeling great sympathy for that
young officer, whose name I never heard before, as hav-
ing been made a victim, whatever may have been his
faults, by an unjust cabal on the part of his brother offi-
cers, to gain favour with the commanding officer of the
regiment, I beg you will accept from me a cheque for
50/., to be expended in the manner mentioned. I know
nothing more of the evidence given atthe Windsor Courts-
martial than what I saw published in the Times—which
• I carefully perused every day—but something more
may have transpired than what met the public eye, to
induce the members of the court to decide upon the ver-
dict they thought proper to give, which certainly sur-
prised me, not as a civilian, but as an officer of long
standing in the army, and I hope I may add of some
experience, having served in every regimental rank,
from a cornet of Dragoons to that of Lieutenant-Colonel
commanding an Infantry Regiment, the 75th Foot, in
which latter capacity I served for two years. I have
always studied to the best of my ability the duty of a
regimental officer, in every progressive rank, and of this
I speak with great confidence, that the conduct of officers
in each rank, as well as the discipline of the regiment,
must depend upon the actual diligence and super-
vision of the commanding officer. If, therefore, youths
in the lower ranks of regiments are allowed to practice
every sort of riot, drunkenness, and debauchery, and no
notice taken of it by their commander, are they to be
made the victims, and he to be let off Scot free, when
by his own culpable negligence he has been the sole
cause of it ; For such is the case with Colonel Garrett.
Was there ever such a disgraceful state of any British
regiment brought to light as that of the 46th in the late
proceedings at Windsor ? What therefore does surprise
me is this, that they, the court, should make no report as
to the conduct of Col. Garrett. Is it, I will ask, the opinion
of any man, civil or military, that such an officer should
continue in command of a regiment which he has
publicly disgraced / And yet I have never heard of
his being ordered to quit the regiment, or of his being
allowed to retire from the service by the sale of his com-
mission. These, sir, are the reasons which have in-
duced me to send you the cheque, which I have en-
closed, and for troubling you with this long letter.—l
have the honour to be, sir, your obedient humble servant,
CLEVIILAND, Major-General in the Army.
"To the Mayor of Windsor."
" Raby Castle, Sept. 14, 1854.
"Sir,--In acknowledging the receipt of my letter,
with its contents, I feel very much obliged to you for
asking me if I have any objection to the sentiments con-
tained in that letter being made public. I certainly
have no objection to giving my assent, inasmuch as I
bad much rather, as a military man, that my reasons
for doing what I have done should be made public than
that any false interpretations should be given to those
reasons. No doubt there may be many persons who
may think I have acted wrong, but this I can safely
assert that I have acted solely from conscientious mo-
tives. No one is more conscious of the necessity, or
more anxious to uphold military discipline, in its fullest
extent than I am. I think the memorandum issued
from the Horse Guards, since the recent trials at Wind-
sor, most excellent. The only point in which I differ,
which is in Article 10, is that it appears to sanction the
commanding officer of a regiment giving up a part of the
management of the interior discipline of his regiment to
his major. I have always thought myself, when in
command of a regiment, and I still entertain the same
opinion, that a commanding officer is solely responsible
for the conduct and discipline of his regiment, either in
the barracks or the field, and which he cannot be if he
gives up the management of a part of that discipline to
to another.

" Again apologising, sir, for thus further troubling
you, allow me to remain,
"Your obedient humble serTant,
"To the Mayor of Windsor." "CLEVELAND.

WINDSOR, SUNDAY NIGHT.

These were the charges against Thomas Tibbey. Mr.
Cox, of the firm of Willoughby, solicitors, appeared for
the Imperial Company, and Mr. Herring, solicitor, for
the defendant, T. Tibbey. Mr. Henry, the Secretary of
the Imperial Company, Mr. Wild of the Great Central
Gas Consumers' Company, and gentlemen connected
with other gas companies were present.
Prior to the case against T. Tibbey being called on,
Thomas Gibbons, a livery stable keeper of Brooks-mews,
Brooks-street, Hyde-park, pleaded guilty to summonses
charging him with having fixed;or caused to be fixed, a
gutty percha pipe, and with having by that' means sur-
reptitiously obtained the company's gas.
Mr. Long inflicted a penalty of 40s. in each case, and
Mr. Henry, the secretary of the company, requested
that the sum might be placed in the poor-box of the
court.

Mr. Cox then proceeded with his summons against
Tibbey, and said he would take the last one (that
which referred to the making the hole in the gas meter)
first.

After some technical and legal objections by Mr. Herring
on the point which was overruled by the magistrate, Mr.
Cox said the charge was, that the defendant had, by
means of a hole made in the meter produced before the
court, surreptitiously obtained a supply of gas to the
extent of many thousand of feet, between the 3rd of
June and the let of August in the present year. In-
deed, the whole amount of the gas, which he thought
he should be able to prove, had been used or consumed,
without payment, amounted to nearly 60,000 cubic
feet. The alleged fraud had been discovered by means
of a test meter placed a short distance from defendant's
premises, and which detected the amount of gas his
meter ought to have registered.
Evidence having been adduced,
Mr. Long said his mind, in the present state of the
case was, that the complainants had not made out any
case at all. No doubt this hole had been made by some
one, but it was not proved that it was made either with
the defendant's knowledge or consent.
Mr. Col- said, after the expression of opinion from the
Court, it was useless to proceed further with the case.
There could be no doubt but the gas companies were
being robbed of many hundreds of pounds in this way.
Mr. Long inquired if the other summonses were to be
proceeded with ?
Mr. Cox said certainly not, after that decision.
The case was then dismisses, and the parties left the
court.

ST. MATTTIEW, BETHNAL-GREEN.—On Saturday after-
noon Mr. William Baker, the coroner, held an inquest
at the Crown public-house, Church-street, Bethnal-
green-road, on view of the body of Ann Hale, aged two
years, who died of Asiatic cholera. Evidence having
been taken, the jury returned a verdict of " Natural
death from Asiatic cholera." Several deaths took place
on Saturday in various parts of the parish ; the epidemic
is rather on the increase. The medical arrangements for
the speedy relief of the poor are well regulated in this
densely-populated portion of the metropolis.
ST. GEORGE'S-IN-THE-EAST.—Yesterday (Sunday) two
more deaths occurred in the cholera ward of St. George's
in-the-East, 3, Bath terrace, Backroad. The deceased
persons died after a few hours' illness. The first case
was that of William Stradhough, aged 35 years, lately
residing at No. 6, Wellington-buildings, Cannon-street.
The deceased was in the employ of Mr. Fairolough, the
extensive dock carman of Christian-street, St. George's.
The second victim was Jeremiah Bryan, aged 26 years,
of No. 8, King-street, Old Gravel-lane. The deceased
has left a wife and large family totally unprovided for.
Five deaths have taken place in one house, situated at
No. 41, Pell-street, Ratcliff highway, during the last few
days, from the epidemic, and many other persons are
in a dangerous state, suffering from choleraic diarrhoea.
There are several nuisances in the neighbourhood.
A. memorial has been forwarded to Lord Palmerston on
the subject connected with the interment of the dead,
but the result of the communication will not be made
known until the meeting of the parishioners. Dr.
Glover, of the Board of Health, has paid a second
official visit to the board of guardians, at the workhouse,
in Old Gravel-lane, for the purpose of making additional
arrangements for the relief of the afflicted poor.
THE LONDON HOSPITAL.—A malignant case of cho-
lera was admitted into the London Hospital ward, at
half-past nine o'clock on Saturday night. The deceased's
name was Christian Kampflihalken, aged 32 years, a
Russian sailor, who was seized with violent symptoms of
the disease on board a Russian prize, now lying in the
eastern basin of the London Docks. The best remedies
were adopted by the medical gentleman, and at the re-
quest of the captain the deceased, at a late hour, was
placed on a stretcher, and con% eyed to London Hos-
pital ; but on his arrival at the surgery, Mr. Birch, the
t esident surgeon, pronounced the unfortunate man to be
dead. The poor fellow expired on the way to the hos-
pital. The cholera ward is nearly filled with dangerous
cases, and many have been successfully treated by the
medical officers, who are unremitting in their attention
to the unfortunate persons. Tho number of out-door
poor who apply for the cholera mixtures is seriously on
the increase.

ST. PAUL'S, SIIADWELL.—On Saturday afternoon,
Mr. Rogers, the summoning officer of St. Paul's, Shad-
well, reported several new cases of Asiatic cholera,
which had terminated fatally, in New Gravel-lane,
Claremont-square, and other over-crowded parts of the
parish. An extra medical officer has been appointed to
visit and prescribe for the poor, by order of the guar-
dians of the union.
TECH STEPNEY UNION.---Several deaths have occurred
from the epidemic at Limehouse, Ratcliff, Mile-end Old-
town, and St. John's, Wapping. Mr. St. Clair Bullet),
one of the principal parochial surgeons, has had five
fatal cases since Friday. The extensive sower works
which have been going on near the Stepney station of
the Blackwall Railway, for the sanitary improvement of
the district of the Commercial-road, have been stopped
by order of the Board of Health until the epidemic has
subsided. Two deaths took place on Saturday on board
the Newcastle colliers lying in the river off Ratcliff-
cross.

The works of this stupendous undertaking being now
in active progress, a short account of what has been mot
inappropriately designated the greatest work of modern
times, cannot fail to be interesting to our readers.
As is already well known, the commercial reason given
for the construction of the Victoria-bridge is the neces-
sity of bringing in the exhaustless products of Canada
West, and of the Western. States of the Union—such as
Michigan, Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, &c.—
without break of gauge or of bulk, from the extreme
western point of British North America to the Atlantic
seaboard. The promoters of the undertaking allege that,
by means of the bridge, they will be able to meet the
requirements of this traffic more cheaply and expedi-
tiously than by any other existing route, whether of rail
or of water ; and they must be doubtless strong in the
faith, as its cost is to be about seven millions of dollars,
or about one-seventh of the total expense of building the
1,113 miles comprising the Grand Trunk Railway of
Canada. _ _ .

The friends of the boy Simms have served Major
Maxwell and Adjutant AP...Mester with a notice of action
for false imprisonment, and if the matter be not ar-
ranged the writs will be down to-morrow. It is under-
stood that the officers of the 46th are preparing an
elaborate defence, which will shortly appear in the shape
of a pamphlet.

ACCIDENT ON THE SHP.EWSBURT AND CHESTER RAIL-
-IVAY.—On Saturday last an accident occurred to a goods
train on this line, due at Shrewsbury at four p.m., by
which the driver, Blackburn, lost his life. About hal.
past two o'clock in the afternoon, two men, in the employ
of Mr. Morris, of Chirk, were unloading four trucks of
wheat ; the waggons were on a siding which connects
with the up line, near Chirk station, and it having com-
menced raining rather sharply, the pointsman told the
men not to disturb the trucks until after the goods train
bad passed. The pointsman then went to the signals to
telegraph the goods train, which was due. During his
absence Morris's men unhooked one of the waggons,
and, not being scotched, it ran on to the main line. At
this moment the goods train came up and ran into the
truck, upsetting th engine across both lines; the spring
balance of the engine was broken, and Blackburn, the
driver, was frightfully scalded by the steam which es-
caped. The stoker and guard were not seriously injured.
The two men, through whose carelessness or stupidity
this distressing affair happened, were taken on the saute
before Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart., M.P., by
wiiuw they ~ere COM all‘ted 101' trial at tat: 11,..tit Den-
bighshire assizes for manslaughter. The inquest on the
body of the unfortunate driver, Blackburn, will, Wo
unclerstand, take place to-day (Monday).

THE EAST LONDON UNION.—The board of guardians
of the East London Union have issued orders to the
medical officers of the several parishes in this district
for the speedy relief of poor persons afflicted with
diarrhoea and sickness during the visitations of the
disease.
ST. MARY, NEWlNGTON.—Yesterday (Sunday) a
sermon was preached at Trinity Church, Trinity-square,
St. Mary, Newington, to pray the Almighty to relieve
the inhabitants from the fearful ravages of the epidemic,
which has been very fatal in the parish. A subscription
was raised at the close of the service for the relief of the
poor who have suffered from the disease.

The bridge is to be tubular, on the plan of the cele-
brated Britannia-bridge over the Menai Straits, in North.
Wales. It will consist of 25 spans, or spaces for navi-
gation, between the 24 piers (exclusive of the two abut-
ments) for the support of the tubes. The centre span
will be 330 feet wide, and each of the other spans will
be 242 feet wide. The width of each of the piers next
to the abutments will he 15 feet, and the width of those
approaching the two centre piers will be gradually in-
creased, so that these two piers will each be 18 feet wide
or three feet more than those next the abutments. Each
abutment is to be 242 feet long and 90 feet wide, and
from the north shore of the St. Lawrence to the north
abutment there will be a solid stone embankment (faced
in rough masonry towards the current) 1,200 feet in
length. The stone embankment leading from the south
shore of the river to the south abutment will be 500 feet
long. The length of the bridge, from abutment to abut-
ment, will be 8,000 feet, and its total length from river
bank to river bank will be 10,284 feet, or 176 feet less
than two English miles.
The clear distance between the ordinary summer level
of the St. Lawrence and the under surface of the centre
tube is to be 60 feet, and the height diminishes towards
either side, with a grade at the rate of 1 in 130, or 40
feet in the mile, so that at the outer or river edge of
each abutment the height is 36 feet above the summer
level. The summer depth of the water in the St. Law-
rence varies from 14 feet about the centre to 4 feet to-
wards the banks, and the current runs, at the site of the
bridge, at a rate varying from seven to ten miles an
hour.

Each of the tubes will be 19 feet in height at the end,
whence they will gradually increase to 22 feet 6 inches
in the centre. The width of each tube will be 16 feet,
or 9 feet 6 inches wider than the rail track. The total
weight of iron in the tubes will be 10,400 tons, and
they will be bound and rivetted together precisely in the
same manner and with similar machinery to that em-
ployed in the Britannia-bridge. The principal part of
the stone used in the construction of the piers and abut-
ments, is a dense blue limestone found at Pointe Clafre,
on the Ottawa river, about 18 miles above Montreal,
about eight above the confluence of that river with the
St. Lawrence. A large village has suddenly sprung up
at the place, for during the last twelvemonths upwards
of 500 quarrymen, stone-masons, a!,d labourers, have
been employed there. Every contrivance that could be
adopted to save manual labour hag also been applied,
and its extent will he judged from the fact that the ma-
chinery at the quarry and the adjacent jetty has (in-
cluding the cost of the jetty) involved an outlay of
$150,000. Three power steam-tugs and 35 barges,
each capable of carrying 200 tons of stone, have been
specially built for the work ax a cost of about $120,000
These are ❑sed for the conveyance of the stone to the
piers, and by the end of September next, a railway on
the permanent line of the Grand Trunk track, will be
laid down from the quarry (close to which the perma-
nent line will pass) to the north shore of the St. Law-
rence, so as to convey along it the stone required for
the north embankment and for the northern ataitment.
The piers close to the abutments will each contain about
6,000 tons of masonry. Scarcely a, block used iu the con-
struction of the piers will be lessthan seven tons weight,
and many of them, especially those exposed to the force of
the current and to the breaking up of ice in spring, will
weigh fully 10 tons each. As the construction of " pier
No. 1" is already several feet above the level of the river,

AMERICAN SCULPTURE.—A correspondent of the
Newark (U.S) Advertiser, writing from Florence, says of
Miss Hosmer, the young American sculptress .—" Miss
Hosmer has taken a villa for the summer in the envi,
roils of Florence, and will here occupy herself with draw-
ing out compositions to mould later into *clay. Her
drawings are said to be full of feeling, and classically
beautiful. She 11;1s already made several successful busts;
also the study for an ideal statue, which will occupy
her next winter at Rome. Being but 22 years of age,
what she has done is remarkable, and full of promise,
which cannot fail to be realised, her genius being
unite(T. to an intrepid will and executive force seldom
met with in so young a person. She is wholly devoted
to her art--rises at six, works all day, 'and to lose no
time in the feminine art of the toilette, adopts such
modes as utility, not the French modiste, invents ;
never suffering pre-occupation with what people may
think, or who will call her eccentric, to distract her
mind from the one purpose of her life. Her only amuse-
ment is riding on horseback, which she does after the
most independent sort, alone ; and some idea of her
enduring energy may be based on the fact that she has
made the journey of ten deys, from Rome to
Florence, on her horse. In fact, the " American
sculptress" needs• no u!,, alier servante as a gallant or
swordsman ; she can work her •own way through the
world—fight it, if necessary—and so she will do, we
believe, in. the higher and more difficult world of art.

THE LATE CHIEF BARON O'GRADY AND MR. oV°l'
NELL.—On one occasion when Chief Baron O'Grady r-.
sided as judge of Assize at Clonmel, the late Mr. 007 0.
.5,
nell was engaged for one side, when it became neu.itto
to examine as a witness a child of tender years. "Lid
the child was put upon the table, the learned judge ",,-11
his head leaning forward, and his eyes closed, t°
sk
appearance fast asleep. Mr. O'Connell stood up °an
the child the usual questions with re and to the 318. t
1.
eePf
of an oath, and percoiving the judge apparently asl
asked the child in a loud tone of voice, whether dile rbei
lieved it right to tell the truth ? which the child answer
in the affirmative. The Chief Baron not showimg n
sign of intelligence, O'Connell in a still louder kei the
the same time with his eyes calling the attention of %a
bar to the somnolence of his lordship), asked the chtito
whether it was not a very bad thing to tell a
till
which she of course answered that it was ; the judge
maintained the same position, showing no signs of dly,
ing. Mr. O'Connell made a final effort to rouse hid l!r jdj
ship, by calling loudly to the little witness, " If you
a lie, where would you go after death ?" "To hell, sir',,
" I do not wish you to go any farther, Mr. O'Coiew"
said the Chief Baron. quietly opening his eyes.
