DEATH OF WASHIN G7'ON IRVING.

The mail steamer Canada, which reached Queens-
town on Monday afternoon, brings the mournful
intelligence of the death of Washington Irving,
justly acknowledged to be " ono, of the most grace-
ful writers America ever produced." He was born
in New York, April 3d, 1783. His father, a respect-
able merchant, originally from Scotland, died while
Washington was yet young, and his education was
superintended by, bid elder brothers, three of whom
had, without relinquishing active professional pur-
suits, gained considerable reputation for literary
abilities. Mr. Irving's first essays in literature were
made in the New York Morning Chronicle, in which
he published his "Letters of Jonathan. Oldstyle,
Gent.' These letters were concluded in 1802; and as
symptoms of pulmonary disease now betrayed them-
selves, it was resolved that in the following year he
should visit the south of Furope. He accord-
ingly sailed for Bordeaux, and travelled through
the south of France to Nice, where he took a
felucca to Genoa, in which city he remained some
two months. He then went by sea to Sicily, made
the tour of the island, crossed from Palermo to Na-
ples, passed through Italy, meeting Allston at Rome,
who strongly recommended him to devote himself
to art; thence over the St: Gothard, through Swit-
zerland to Paris, where he remained several months.
He next went to Holland, whence he embarked
for England, and passing there a part of the au-
tumn; he returned to New York in March, 1806,
completely restored to health. He resumed the
study of the law, and was admitted to the bar in
November of that year, but never practised. Shortly
afterwards he took the chief part in "Salmagundi,"
the first number of which appeared January, 1807,
and the last in January, 1808. In December the
following year he published his Kn;ckerbocker's
History of New York. In 1810, two of his brothers,
who were engaged in commercial business, one
being at the head of the establishment in America,
and the other in Liverpool, gave him an interest in
the concern, with the understanding that he was
not to enter into the duties and details of the busi-
ness, but pursue his literary avocations.
During the war with Great Britain in 1813-14
he edited the .Analeetie Magazine, and in the fall
of the latter year joined the military staff of the
governor of the state of New York, as aide-de-camp
and military secretary, with the title, of colonel. At
the close of the war, May, 1815, he embarked for Li-
verpool, with the intention of making a second tour
of Europe, but was prevented by the sudden and
great reverses which followed the return of
peace, overwhelming, after a struggle of two or
three years, in which Mr. Irving took an active
part to avert the catastrophe, the house in which
his brothers had given him an interest, and in-
volving himself in its ruin. In 1818 he deter-
mined to employ his pen as a means of support, and
commenced the series of papers entitled " Sketch
Book," which were transmitted piecemeal from
London, where he resided, to New York for publi-
cation. Three or four numbers were thus produced,
when, finding that they attracted notice in Eng-
land, he had them published in one volume, Feb.,
1820, by Mr. John Miller. On his failure shortly
afterwards the work was transferred to Mr. Mur-
ray, with a second volume, published in July of
that year. Mr. Murray had bought this copyright
for £2OO, but its success far surpassing his expec-
la.tions, he sent Mr. Irving, of his own accord, first
£lOO, and, the sale still increasing, an additional
£lOO. After a residence of five years in England,
Mr. Irving removed to PariS in August, 1820, and
remained there until July of the following year,
when he returned to England 3 and published his
" Bracebridge Hall," in London and New York, in
May, 1822. The following , winter he passed. in
Dresden ; returned to Paris in 1823, and crossed to
London in May, 1824, to. pull%h his " Tales of a
Traveller," which appeared in August of that year
in two volumes, and in four parts in New York. In
August he returned to Paris, and in the autumn of
1825 visited the south of France, passing part of
the winter in Bordeaux. In February, 1826, he
left that city for Madrid, where he remained two
years. There he wrote the " Life of Columbus,"
which appeared in 1828. ' •
In the spring of 1828 he left. Madrid on a tour to
the south of Spain, visiting Granada and the main
points mentioned in the " Chronicles of the Con-
quest of Grenada, by Fra Agapida," of which he
had made a rough sketch. 'this he prepared for
the press at Seville, and transmitted to London and
New York for publication ; it appeared in 1829. In
the spring of this year .he again visited Granada,
and resided some three months in the Alhambra,
where he collected materials for the work published
under that name in 1832. In July he came to
England, having been appointed Secretary of Lega-
tion to the American Embassy, which office he
held until the return of Mr. *Lane in 1831,
when, after remaining a few months as charge, he
resigned, on the arriva of Mr. Van Buren. While in
England, in 1830, Mr. Irving received one of the
fifty-guinea gold medals, provided by George IV.
for eminence in historical composition, the other
having been awarded to Mr. 'Hallam, the historian,
and in the following year the University of Ox-
ford conferred on him the degree of LL.D. In the
spring of 1832 hereturned, to New York, after an
absence of seventeen years. His appearance was
greeted on all bands with the warmest enthusiasm ;
a public dinner was given to him, at which Chan-
cellor Kent presided and. similar testimonials
were offered-in other cities, which he declined. In
the summer of that year he, accompanied Mr. Ells-
worth, one of the commissioners for removing the
Indian tribes west of the Mississippi, and whom he
had met on a tour to the west, on his expedition.
The most interesting portion of this journey has
appeared in the " fourron the Prairies," published
in 1835. This was followed in the same year by
"Abbotsford and Newstead Abbey," and " Legends
'of the Conquest of Spain." In 1836 he published
" Astoria,' and in the following year" The Adven-
tures of Captain Bonneville." In 1839 he entered
into an engagement, which lasted two years, with
the proprietor of the Knickerbocker Magazine to
furnish articles for that periodical. In February,
1842, he received unsolicited, the appointment of
Minister to Spain. lie left for Madrid on the 10th
of April of• that yea.. His official duties termi-
nating in the slimmer of 1846, he returned to
America, and in 1848 commenced the publication
a revised edition of his works, most of Which hell.
been long out of print. /n 1849 he published
" Oliver Goldsmith,'a Biography;" " Mehemet and
his Successors," 1849-50; and "Life of Wcshing-
ton," 1855.
Washington Irving resided up to the time of his
death at his country seat, 4 4 Sunnyside," on the
_ banks of the Hudson, 25 miles from the city of
a, New York.

[ADVERTISEMENT].—The difficulties and dangers of
bringing up infants by hand or wet nurses have been entirely
overcome by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food,
which feeds, strengthens, and removes all the little pains
and irregularities infants, are so subject to. The following
letter speaks volumes :—" Grammar School, Stevenage,
16th Dec., 1850. Gentlemen,--I think it but common
justide to you to state that I have used Du Barry's Rove-
lenta for the last four months, during which time our in-
fant' has never had disordered bowels, from which it had
suffered much during the previous six months, whilst being
nursed, though every care was taken to prevent it. Had I
known of your valuable food sooner, it would have
saved my infant much pain, and me also the hea•v7
expense of a wet nurse.—l am, &c,. ROBERT AMBLER.

•-7*Colonel VEREKER, who occupied the chair, said.
—Before entering upon the question for which this
meeting has been called, I wish to take a broad
and general view of the Volunteer Rifle Movement
throughout the kingdom, and see whether that
movement is right in principle. There are two
classes of objectors to the movement—those who
think that this and other• warlike preparations are
injudicious, as being likely to give offence to neigh-
bouring countries, And those who think that such
warlike preparations •are injudicious,-because they
betray an amount of groundless alarm which ex-
poses Great Britain to the ridicule of foreign nations.
Now, I beg to say I do not think. that either of these'
objections is based upon,common sense,' and I trust
this meeting will coincide with me in taking this
view of the question. If foreign_nations are sincere
and honest in their professions of loyal alliance, why '
should they take offence at our endeavouring to raise
our military establiihment to 'some . faint. approii.:
mation to the armies of all the great Continental
States P (Hear, hear.) If I choose to put up bolts
to my doors and bars to my windows, surely no one
has a right to come to me and say, " What.are you
doing all this for ? 1)o you suspect that I harbour.
any design of trying' to break into your hOuse ?" I
should naturally reply to such a. remark :—" Such
a suspicion never crossed my mind until this mo-
ment, but you, seem so angry at my taking com-
mon prudent precautions, that I begin to think
you must have sonic sinister object in vieW." But
I am sure that the 'ideas of persons . who raise
such objkcjios are purely, visionary. I am
sure • that no enlightened Foreign Governmeat
could for a moment entertain any unkindly
feelings ,at seeing us doing that at the eleventh
hour which ought to have been done years ago.
(Cheers.) Our policy is never one of aggression.
The great Continental wars iu which we have been
engaged were not entered upon through lust of con-
quest, or from a base and perverted ambition of
military glory. We have never taken up arms
except in defence of the weak or to prevent Europe
being trampled beneath the iron heel of overgrown
military powers: 'raking all this into consideration,
surely no other country can for a moment imagine
that our preparations are intended for aught but
self.defence, and for placing ourselves in the position
our rank as a great nation entitles us to. Now,
with reference to those who say that we expose
ourselves to ridicule by betraying such apprehen-
sions of foreign invasion, I beg to say that, in my
judgment, we have been for many years exposing
ourselves to ridicule by neglecting to take the very
course that we are
,now adopting, and by. sleeping,
as it were, with our doors and windows open, so
that any who pleased might come in and attack us
with comparative impunity. Depend upon it, the
ridicule and obloquy which we have hitherto in-
curred from our insane foolhardiness are fast dying
away, and the world are beginning to see that we
have the old blood of true and loyal Britons in our
viens. • (Great' applause.) You will have resolu-
tions proposed for your consideration, and I am
sure, when all explanations have • been given, you
will concur in the prudence of their adoption.

(Cheers.)
The Rev. Dr. WiLsoN,.the incumbent of Knights-
bridge,moved the first resolution—" That this meet-
ing warmly sympathises with the' great national
movement for the formation of a powerful volunteer
force for national defence, and is therefore of opinion
that a company of Volunteer Rifles should forth-
with be raised for the district of Belgravia and
Knightsbridge, and that the company already in
formation for the district of Brompton be corn-
pletedf He said he was not guilty of any derelic-
tion of duty in proposing this resolution, because
he considered it a peace movement, and he consi:
dered he was as much bound in duty to preach love
and devotion to our Sovereign as to preach the fear
of God. The Scriptures said—" The strong man
armed keepeth his house." We were the strong
mail, but we were not the strong man armed.
(Hear.) if they did not keep their position in the
scale of nations, they would soon become a byeword
amon,, the nations of Europe. He believed that
the Emperor of the French entertained the most
kindly feeling towards this country ; but the Em-
peror of the French was not the French army.
(Hear.)
Mr. STIARPUB seconded the motion, which was
carried unanimously.

FIRST SURREY RIFLES.
Last meeting a numerously attended meeting of
the inhabitants of Wandsworth and the surround-
ing neighbourhood was held at the Spread Eagle
Tavern, Wandsworth, to promote the formation of
a volunteer rifle company for Battersea and Wands-
worth, in conjunction with the Clapham Company
of the Ist Surrey Rifles.
The chair was taken by C. Corthorn, Esq.
The CHAIRMAN having briefly stated the object
of the meeting,
Mr. Churchwarden KNIGHT moved the first re-
solution:—" That this meeting recognising the
tendency of the volunteer movement to promote
the peace and security of the British Empire, desire
to see the formation of a :corps for Wandsworth
and its vicinity, and pledges itself to give such
corps its hearty and energetic support."
Carried unanitnowly.

General Poulocx teen moved the seaond,resolu-
tion, which was •as follows :—"That this meeting
resolves that the corps now to be enrolled, shall be
raised in conjunction wit'i the Clapham Company,
and form part of the First Surrey Battalion.' He
believed that a feeling had sprung up in some par-
ticular districts,. especially in Battersea, that a
corps raised in a certain district should be kept in
that district, under the command of an officer. Now,
he could say, from his own experience, that would
be a great mistake. If every town and village was
each to raise a corps, and not join any regiment, it
would be perfectly impossible for a general officer
to command them. Supposing several companies
were called out the general officer would say to one
party, "You go to the right," and to another, "You
take up that position to the left." The parties
would then begin to quarrel, and the men of one
company would say—" Why, have we not a right to
say that we should take up.that ground as well as
they"? while, on the other hand, the other party
would say "We liko that ground best,. and we will
go there.,' (Hear, hear.) This being so, it
was quite clear that if they did not act in unison
they would be utterly unfit to perform the duties
they might be called upon to execute. (Hear, hear.)
He merely threw out these hints to show them the
position they would be in if they acted indepen-
dently of one another.
The resolution was carried amidst loud cheers.

The proceedings terminated, after a vote of thanks
,o the chair had been given.

PADDINGTON.

In this parish a movement has again taken place
for the purpose of forming a volunteer rifle corps
in the parish. It will be recollected that some few
weeks ago it was resolved at a public meeting of
the inhabitants, to forma corps in the parish, but
which eventually ,fidled from the want of. persons
coming forward to be enrolled. - Some . influential
gentlemen of the parish seeing the extraordinary
exertions making throughout the country, for the
establiiihment of rifle corps, have resolved to con-
vene a public meeting; to consider the propriety of
forming a volunteer rifle corps in the parish, but
the day on which it is to be held ha's not yet been
appointed. .
