RowLANDsoN.'We copy from London
publication, the following sketch of Rowland
on, the celebrated English painter, whose de-
signs are familiar to most of our readers, and
to all who have read that humurous poem, en-
titled Doctor Syntax in pursuit Of Picturesque.
Rowlandson was an exceedingly eccentric
genius, and it is to be regretted, that he, like
too many Of the favored SONS Of nature, wasted
his life in comparative idloness, and at last died
amid all the horrors Of indigence and misery.
Although at one time, possessed of what would
be called in this country a handsome fortune,
such was his thirst for idleness and play, that
in few years he sacrificed the whole Off at
the gaming table; and with that kind of self
complacency which is ever the chara cteristc
of the proAgato, smiled at the approach Of
sef-invited ruin:
This well known and admired artist was born
in the Old Jewry, July 1856; his father, then
living there, was a commercialist Of great re-
spectability. HIS mothers great-great-grand-
father was Lord Mayor of London, and dying
ii
IN office by SIR Thomas Pilkington.
Thomas Rowlandson was educated at the
school of DIR. Barvis in Soho Square, at that
time, and subsequently, an academy of some
celebrity, Richard Burke, son Of tho late Ed
mund Burke, M. p. was hls school-fellow,--
Mr.. Holman, the celebrated tragedian, was
also educated there. The academy was then
kept by DR.. Barrow.
At very early period of his childhood,
Rowlandson gave prcsage Of his future talent;
and he drew humorous charact cters of his master
and many of his scholars before he was ten
years old. The marsin of his school books
were covered with these his handy works.
In his sixteenth year he went to Paris, and
was entered a studon in one Of the drawing
acade MICS there, where he made rapid ad-
vanccs in the study of the human figure and
during his residence, which was nearly two
years, he occasionally INDUCED that satirical
talent, in portraying the chara actcristics of that
fantastical people whose outre habits, per-
haps, scarcely demanded the exaggcrations Of
carcature.
On his return te London, he resumed his
studies at the Royal Academy, then held in
some apartments at old Somerset 'ousc. He
had been admitted on the list of students be-
fore his visit to Paris.
Tto celebrated Mr.. John Bannister, who
had evinced an equal prediction for the gra-
phic art, was at this time a fellow student; and
1t was here that that friendship commenced be-
tween them which continued through hfo.
The elder Rowlandson, who was of spocu-
lative turn, lost considerable sums in expert
menting upon various branches Of manuiac-
tures, which were tried on too large a scale
for his means; hence, his affairs became en-
barrassed, and his son, before he had attained
his manhood, was obliged to support himself
He, however, derived thnt assistance from
an aant which his fathers reverse Of fortune
had withheld, TLis lady--who was Made

THE UNITED STATES TELEGRAPH
The most unwcaricd pains are taken to circu-
late through tho body-politic, tie poison with
which the United States Telegraph is gener-
ally surcharged To extend its circulation,
ovcry art is rcsortod to, and when artifce fails,
it is given gratuitously to those who VIII re-
ceivc it.
In proof Of ,his, we state the fact, that the
Telegraph is sen, to an eminent gentleman Of
this town, free Of charge, and post paid. The
gentleman assures US, that lie never ordered
tho paper, and that he knows not by whom it
is sent. AS it comes thus cheap, however, the
gentleman receives il, and sometimes reads it
among tile common lumber Of the kitchen. 4
paper must be exceedingly hard pushed for
readers, when such measures are rcsortcd to,
to give il circulation. If this paragraph should
chance to reach the eye of Duff Greene, the
Editor Of the Telegraph, We will, for his ospec-
ial information inform him, that if he sends his
paper to the gentleman in question, snpposing
him to be Jacksonan, he. is in error, and
that he 10 whom il comes addressed, post
age paid" is a friend to the Administration
In this instance, at least, General Greene is
bitten, and before he gives away his papers. he
should be certain of his mcn We have often
heard before this, that these means we resort
ed TO give circulation TO the Telegraph, but
never before had any proof of,ho fact. Ii what
VIC now state, should be denicdby the Editor Of
tho Telegraph, we will produce abundant evi-
dcncc 10 induce conviction.

aware Of this, as any other individual, and
though he could have done much with his
vote, towards securing to HIMSELF any ends that
his ambition might have contemplated, he
threw every thing aside, when the good of his
common country was at stake, and gave
his vote and his influence, to that man, whom
he believed to be best fitted for the chief mag
istracy of the nation. He was placed in
delicate, difficult situation; ;-many Of those
friends, who had supported him through thick,
and through thin, had entertained an opinion,
that in the event Of his not being returned to
the House Of Representatives, he would give
his influence to Mr.. Crawford, whilst none of
them. supposed for a moment, that no would
go for General Jackson. In this the hour of
emergency, he consulted the good of his coun-
try, and without having any previous consul
tation, or taking any advice, he determined
to vote for Mr.. Adams.
AT this particular juncture, citizen of this
State, who had been devotedly engaged in his
cause, whilst he was before the people, wrote
him, stating that report had gained circula-
ton in this quarter, that in the event of his not
being returned candidate to the House, he
would vote for Mr.. Adams; and expressed
hope, that he would not, in any event, give
his vote for General Jackson. To this, Mr..
Clay made prompt reply, stating in substance,
that in pursuing his line of conduct, he should
be governed by his best judgment, should vote
for Mr.. Adams, and leave the result ofbis con-
duct for the consideration Of the American
public: that in acting as he should act, he
believed that he should promote the interests
of the country, but if a contrary effect were
produced, he should content himself with the
reflection, that he erred, in acting in accord
convictions Of his conscience. Governed by
these feelings, he gave his vote to Mr.. Ad-
ans; and by thus exercising those rights which
were constitutionally granted to him, he has
incurred the proscriptive anathemas of band
Of virulent opposers; and in the fulness of their
ire and malice, they have ascribed to him
overt acts of political alteration and corrup-
ton, of the most heinous nature, and Of which,
if he were guilty, no punishment could be suf-
ficiently severe to be applied, by the way of a
corrective.
But in the midst Of all this tumult, this war
ofextermination and persecution, the Secretary
''stands alone,'' smiles at the rawlings Of his
enemies; and satisfied with an approving con-
sience, persucs his vocation, ,abors in the great
vineyard of the country, and has the heartfelt
satisfaction Of knowing, that he meets the ap-
probation and applause, Of nine-tenths Of the
American people.
