CELEBRATION OF
WESTINGHOUSE BIRTH DAY,
IN FRANCE.

p.Rfs. Feb. ss, ls24.-The birth
aay Of W ashington was celebrated by
the Americans in Paris, on the 2ist,
the ssd being Sunday. They met to
tbe number of about forty, at the
Quadrant Blue, and partook Of a
dinner, served up in the greatest style
Of elegance. Mr.. Barnet, our Con.
sui. presided. with the Marquis de la
Favette on his left, and Mr.. Sheldon,
our Charge des AHaires, on his right.
.Tbe flags Of France and the United
States were displayed behind the
Presidents chair, aud two wreaths
were suspended, ono on the right,
enclosing the name Of Washington,
and the other on the left, enclosing
that of La Fayette. Those only who
have seen the table of a fashionable
French restorateur, arrayed for a
public dinner, can imagine the taste
and fancy which were displayed on
this occasion.
Nothing is calculated to make an
American esteem his country so
much as q visit to Europe. 'Home,
sweet home,' the land of 'virtue, Ii
berty, and independence is never so
dear, as when viewed in contrast
with the vice and despotism which
reign over these lands. So we all
thought, or seemed to think, when
we came together, to celebrate one
of the most animatiug American an
niyersaries. You will see that we
could not fail to be in a patriotic
mood. The set toasts were necessa-
rily circumspect, on account OF the
modified kind of liberty which prevails
here: and the volunteer sentiments
sent TO the chair, were very judicious'
Iy called by the President, who IS a
careful man. I send you a list OF
some of the toas.s: l endeavort to send
those which were the best. but will
not aver that my taste in the selec-
ton is right. If any are neglected
which ought to be given, the extreme
haste in which J write, must apollo
gise Tor the omissions
On reading a toast complimentary
to La Fayette, he rose, and made a

THE FALSE ONE.

THE FALSE ONE.
Ride on! ride on, with thy bridal company;
Ride on thy coal black steed, thou false one,
ride!
How gallant is thy bearing, and how proud
Wave the white glsncinss Of thy plume! Ride
on,
And as thousands shout thy name, heed not
n one shall deeply curse it. When thy heart
Beats with the presence OF thy lar young BRIDE,
Remember not the one which thou hast LETT
A level furnished in its light. To break:
And when her blush looks beautiful, forget
The blush you kissed, when on your bosom lay
the poor forsaken maid of Arragon!
And when before the MOBILES fths land,
Beneath the proud cathedraPs frested aisle, .
You plight your marriage vows, think not Oh
those
You breath'd in the lone citron grove, the stars
Witnesses sfthe contract. Fare thee well.
On rode the Bridegroom, to the breath Of flutes
And the salute oftrumpets. Suddenly
A sush of perfume and sound Of song
RIOS. slow and sweet9hey usher'd in the
Bride:
On came the Lady, with her bright hair
wreath'd
Around with Indian pearls; q silver veil
Play'd DER her jewell'd waist. Andthey were
wed,
That dark .ey'd Cavalier, and that sweet dame;
And as the gay procession left the church,
Gsther'd multitude around, and wished
All happiness to their nero and his BRIDE;
And to q flourish of glad instruments
A chorus Of rich voices made reply.
Yet ever and anon single song
low and melancholy song, was heard,
The very echo of broken heart,
Like the swan dying in soft music. None
OF all the train could tell whence came that
voice:
But each one felt its influence, as it wak'd
In each some sad, forgotten memory;
But more than all, It seemed to call dark thot
Upon the bridegyoom's forehead, and his lip
Grew pale with some deep feeling. But it
ceas'd,
And e. n felt as weight had left his heart,
When died those tones of sorrow into silence;
But all remarked how strangea gloom had
fall'n
Der the Count. Yeton they rode, and reach'd
His palace, bright like day, with Psrfumed
lamps:
The stately banquet was spread gorgsousiy, =
And in the glory Of the festal hall,
And in the gladnsss of its melody,
All soon for got the melancholy song.
Next day there wa, a sound of pity heard
In the proud streets of Seville: at the foot
OF Count Hernando's statue, that one rais'd
To honor him, when first and last in battle,
He singly stood against the Moors, and turn'd
The fortune Of the 6ght,) as If In prayer,
A maiden kneIt; her long hair Ind her face,
And its black curls were drench'd with the
thick dew.
She had been all night there: for some recaf'd
Seeing q pale girl kneeling there, when first
Upon the statue fell the cold moonlight.
There was wreath of laurel hung above,
Fresh green; below it, like an offering.
A cypress braid, with one pale, wither'd rose,
Bound by broken chain Of gold.
They teuch'd the hands
When the pale maiden answered not tneir
words:
They were like marble, heavy, white and emil:
They parted from the facethe thick dark hair'
And look'd upon . corpse!

"Bv this il appears that the total number of
political Journals in England, Scotland, Ireland
and the British Islands, has augmented three times
IN the short space of about forty years. The diff
ference is not so grca, with respect 10 the English
metropolis; for oltho' i'll 1882 there were only
cigccu papers publisiic l. nine of these were daily
ones, and the remaining nine twice week ones pro-
duciny in all seventy-two weekly ones ; whereas
in 1921, the increase in daily Newspapers was from
ninc to sixteen, the decrease in twice week from
nine 10 eight, and the increase of weekly, of which
none appear TO have been published in 1899, was
thirty two; the difference, therefore, iii the propor-
ton of weekly Newspapers between these periods
being only what seventy-,wo is to Que hundred
and forty four, or exactly half. This, to be
sure, is fair criterion of their increase as the
number of copies sold in the last period must have
doubled the number sold in the first period Ii
shows, however, tho state ofthe the circun.
stances, SO far public feeling involved under
which the proprietors of these Journals thought such
speculatons prudent There still thirteen daily
papers published in London seven thrice n week
nine twice week (sx of which, however, ca only
be said TO be second editions OF the same papers)
and twenty-tmee weekly. II appears that these
Journals circulated in 1921, 16,2515 34 copies for
the stamp duty upon which there was paid to the
Stamp office the sum Of 27o,908k lbs. sterling!
g The English rebellion of 1G11 gave rise to many
more OF these tracts, which during the time of the
long Parliament were principally filled with violent
appeals to the people, suited to the violence and the
"yPoNiiSy VI pcrlOu. anu intended 10 Justify The
proceedings of the legislature towards their con-
stituents, the soldiery, aud the multitude. Many of
these tracts bore the title of Durnal Occurrences
OF Parliament" These, however, were entirely
superseded by the establishment of "The Public
tntellisencer," in 1865 "Thc London Gazette
commenced: it at first published al Oxford and
called The Oxford Gazette" "The Orange In
teiiigencer was the third Newspaper, and tho first
after the Revolution in 1858 there appear to have
oeen nme London papers published weekly, al
though the last mentioned seems TO have been the
only daily one. In Queen Anne's, reign, in 1908,
their number increased to eighteen, bat still
there was but one daily paper, The London Cou-
rant. In the reign of George l, the number was
augmented to three daily, six weekly, and three
times week. In the reign of George II, the num-
Der OF copies of newspapers published in the whole
OF Engla land was follows
