THE QUARTERLY REVIEW.

A letter has been received at Charleston, dated
London, July 10Th, from which the following is an
Iextract.
"Mr. Rogers, from Maryland, is here for the
purpose OF challenging the Quarterly Reviewers
for having attacked the character OF Mrs. Law, his
wiles mother. The author OF the article in which
she Is mentioned is, believe Clifford, and he has
consented to publish an Apology
In the last Quarterly Review, the following note
is introduced at the close of the work:
In the article on Fauxs Memorable Days in
America, %. II. No. $50 passage was introduced
from that work, rejecting on The Lady Of MIR. Law.
We have since been FULLY satisfied, that every part
OF the statement III which she is mentioned, is de
void OF truth and we therefore take this opportu-
nifty OF expressing our regret that calumny so IN
founded, should have been so unwttingy copied in
10 our pages.
Nov we have mentioned this article, we may
add, that, In saying ii was not mentioned by wha,
means Mr.. Law acquired his ,'mense property in
India there was no thought whatever OF mpeach-
ing his integrity. We know no more OF Mr.. Law,
than Faux tells and merely meant 10 say, that no.
thing was to be found in his work, respecting the
capacity in which Mr.. Law acted in lndia or the
situation which he held"

most remarkable circumstances peculiar to this ami
NAL is, that the female is provided with pouch,
Marsuplum, or false belly, capable Of containing
several young. The commonly received opinion is,
that the little animals shortly after birthare some
how conveyed by the exertons of the parent into
the pouch, where they remeined attached to the eat
until they had acquired sufficient strength 10 SO in

6 About the year 1894, Mons. De Beauyois,* in
conjunction with G. w Peale, in Philadelphia, pro
cured number of Opossums for the purpose Of
asceralning the exact size of the young, when they
crept as was supposed, into the pouch OF the mother
In the majority of instances, the young were so large
as to go in and out at will but at length female
Opossum was obtained with pouch so slightly de.
veloped that 1t was only discoverable by the closest
examination. They were greatly asonished TO per-
ceive adherng to the teas within the pouch several
embryo Opossums, not more than three .toa1thS Of
an inch long. One of these was separated gently
and without in jury, and inmediatly afterwards care
fully reapplied TO TIL Ieat but no effort could re-
attach it, none of them at this period having any
appearance OF life In eight or ten days from the
first examination, when they manifested signs Of
strength and motion, they might be separated and
would again apply themselves. AS soon as they be-
came able 10 walk they would pass in and out oil the
pouch of their accord.

nine young ones larger than mice; which were
carefully kept until the young ones grew to be as
large as rats and no longer sought refuge in the
maternal pouch. Being DESTROYS of preserving the
animal with some of the young ones peeping out Of
the pouch, they were Immediately killed In skin
ming the old one, discovered that the whole Of
the pouch and teas were separated from the animal,
and in day or two would have dropped off leaving
the female Opossum they are often observed
without vestage Of the pouch or false belly. From
these facts we are unayodably led to conclude, that
the young do not of themselves at first enter The
pouch, nor they introduced subsequent to
birth by the parent--but they grow with the growth
OF the pouch, which is at last capable Of containing
nine or ten young ones as large rats, and that the
pouch is formed and thrown off, with every litter OIL

THE SPANISH MATDEN.-By MRs. HEMANs.
Why is the Spanish maiden's grave
So far from her own bright land
The sunny flowers that DER it wave
Were sown by no kindred hand.
lis not the orange-bough that sends
Its breath upon the sultry air,
IT'S not the myrtle-stem that bends
To the breeze OF evening there
But the Rose of Sharon's east ern bloom
by the silent dwelling fades,
And none but strangers pass the tomb
Which The Palm OF Judah shades
The lowly Cross, with flowers o'ergrown,
Mark well that place of rest
But who hath graved, on its messy stone.
A sword, helm, crest!
These are the trophies of a chief,
lord of the ak and spear
Some blossom plucked, some faded leaf,
Should grace maiden's bier!
scom not her tomb--deny not her
The honor Of the brave
Ger that torsaken sepulchre
Banner and plume might wave,
she bore the steel in battle tried,
Tier fearless heart above,
And stood with brave men, side by side,
lii the strength and faith OF love
That strength prevailed--thst faith was blessed
True was the javelin thrown,
Yet pierced it not her warriors breast,
She met il with her own
And nobly won, where heroes fell
III arms for the holy shrine,
A death which saved what she loved SO well,
And grave in Palestine.
Then !et the Rose Of Sharon spread
Its breast to the glowing air,
And the Palm of Judah lift its head,
Green and immortal there!
And lei yon grey stone, undefaoed,
With its trophy mark the scene,
Telling the pilgrim Of the waste,
Where Love and Death have been.

New York. Dec. 9.-The match for $1,000
aside between he English boat Certain Death, be
longing Captain Harris of the frgate Hussar, and
The American boat american Star, belonging to this
place. was decided in favor of the latter, which bea
a ul quarter of a mile, in a of four miles The
American was rowed by four of our Whitehall boat
men.
We are informed that the rowers of the Hussar's
boat do not belong to the crew OF the frigate, but
are Thames watermen, brought from London for
the purpose Of manning this gig-and have won for
Captain Harris several in the West Indies,
Zone at jan aica for 100 doubloons) and have never
before been beaten.
1t will be recolected that the Star was beaten

that the Whilehallers rowed the .Npr- York, and
offered to change the boats and row for the same
stakes in the Star We presume they would do
The same with The Hussar's boat. They have now
an unquesonabe claim to be considered the best
