PIRACY.-An article on the death of Arch
bishop Carroll, which has been sent forth to the
world as an ORR nal &C communication" and which
has been republshed in various newspapers, as a
specimen of the ability with which the .fmeriran
Quareriy ReUiep promises to be conducted, Will
he found, by a reference TO the files of the Federal
Gazette, to be nothing more than the amagama-
ton of two articles, one of which, originally, ap-
pearcd in that paper, Dec. 4th 1915, and the 9TH
or was republished on the 7th Dec. 1875 from the
Telegraph. One, if not both, of the articles, was
written by gentleman of Baltimore, several years
deceased The article in the Review is evidently
copied from the above, in many instances no al
tcration whatever being made in the phraseology
Where the language is varied from the original,
to our humble apprehensions the change is not for
the better.
REMARKs.--We find the above, in the Balti-
more Federal Gazette, of the 9th ult and we
think, that the detection of'h piracy will not rest
very comfortably on the pride and feelings of Mr..
Robert Walsh editor Of the American Quarterly
Review. Although it cannot be expected that the
editor of periodical publication has read every
thing adds nothing to his credit, if he happens to
be imposed upon. We venture to say, thot Mr..
Walsh, before he gave the offending article TO his
compositor, scanned it with his spectacles, at
least twcnty-four hours by " Shrewsbury clock"
and considered it very elegant and classical; when,
if he had known il had been published in a
newspaper, he would have pronounced 1t mere
trash, and unworthy Of place in his classical
publication. So much for the pride Of opinion,
and self concot.

GIFFoRp.--Wc copy from the New York Al
bion, the annexed synopsis of the WILL and avail
able effects of William Clifford, Esq. the translator
of Juyenal, and late editor Of the Quarterly Re-
view. The reader will be surprised to find, that
a man who devoted his life TO literature, was cna-
bed to collect so much money. The case is rare
ly paralcllcd, for with the exception of Pope and
Addison, most of the eminent English writer's have
descended to the grave, surrounded by penury
and want. But Clifford was as penurIous as he
was saturnine, and whilst he sought and thirsted
after fame, he was not unmndful of the charms
and bcatitude Of the " siHer."
"Mr. GFord's Will has been proved by his
sole Executor, and steady friend, DIR. Ireland,
Dean of Westminster. The probate is taken out
under twenty-five thousand pounds personal prop
crty; what his freehold estates were, we know not
This, however, is pretty considerable sum for a
man to acquire by his literary labour as Editor Of
the Quarterly Repiep, and writer Of Political
Essays. He gained very little by his Bdviad and
Meuiod; and, we have been told, that' Tor his
editions Of .Ren Jonson and fassinger, the book

Mas. KNIGHr.-This celebrated lady, in
connection with her husband, gave concert at
Franklin Hall, on Thursday evening last, which
was very numerously attended by the fashona-
bles ofthe town; ard each and all by the profound
attention thcy paid to the fair vocalist, whilst
they listened to her captivating melody, evinced
their admiration of her talents, and their respect
for her genius.
We would not be considered extravag,nt in
our encomiuns, but Justice requires us TO declare,
that in opinion, Mrs. Knight has no equal in
in this country, if she has in England, and that
she eclipses the &c Garcia and the Kelly" so
famed in song, and so popular, among the lovers
of melody There is in the demeanour of Mrs.
Knight, wnching excellence she does not Of
fcnd the eye with that species of trickery and af-
fectation, which distinguishes too many of the
singers Of the day, and although she is undoubt-
cdIy completely versed in the science she prac-
tces, she is far from the studied formaltes of the
pedant, and her notes flow with all that simplic-
ity,and ease which are so true TO nature and which
irresistbly awaken the passions, and delight the
senses. With her scientific qualifca tions, she
unites an agreeable person, and easy and fasci-
mating manners Mr.. Povcy, the brother of Mrs.
Knight assisted at the concert. He is good
singer, and gentlemanly and interesting in his
manners
We understand that Capt. Partridge's corps of
Cadets, who were in town, and on their march
to Boston, were politely invited to attend the

JACKSON PaEssEs.--We are enabled 10 an
nounce to the public fact, equally important
and interesting to the politician; namely, that
within the last week, the Agents of the oppos-
tion, have been in town, and have thus far, vain
ly negotiated for the purchase of one of the Prov
idence Presses, with view, to make it the vehicle
Of General Jackson's interest. We learn that an
extravagant price was offered for the Press to
which we now alude, but was rejected by its
proprietors.
The principal agent in this negotiation, is said
to be PROSTATE politician, man who figured,
two or three years since, in the public papers,
and Intellectually undertook to prove the analogy
between a " duplicate" Letter, and its original.
We state this as a tact >, and it is not improbable,
that at another time, we shall give full account
of the transaction.
