MISS CLARA FISHER.

As this far famed actress is about to visit us
to fulfil an engagement at our Theatre, it may
not be improper to devote n few moments to
her history.
Miss Clara Fisher, according to the Biogra-
pher OF the British Stage, lis the fourth daugh-
ter Of Mr. Fisher, some years since proprietor
Of the Steyne library, at Brighton, and lately
a respectable auctionoer in King g-Street. Co
won't Garden. She was born July IA, 1911.
From the moment infantine perception COM
menced, she exhibited a considerable degree
Of observation and feeling. In the nurses
arms she Showed a passionate fondness for mu-
sic, which was her first chara cteristic; and
showed by every sign Of extreme delight her
partiality for some tunes, whilst others that
were not agreeable 10 her ear, were opposed
by every indication Of aversion. Music 10 the
infant is language, and the child decided on
its expressions by the same powers that On
adult would Of appeals of eloquence addressed
to his feelings. She discoursed with sounds,
and evidently received and communicated ideas
under the influence Of harmony. DR.. "Wil-
liams. known under the appellaton Of Anfhony
Pasquin, who was acquainted with Miss
Fishers family, nlludes in his Dramatic
Censor" " to her, then not many months old
as al instance of wonderfully premature en-.
dowment. Miss O'Neil's appearance in Lon
don induced Mr.. Fisher, ,--then resident there
to take his family to see her performance, and
amongst them Clara, then four years old. The
play was Jane Shore, and from tho impression
made on her mind by that admirable actress,
may be dated the ardent bias for tho stage
which has ever since imbue6 her mind, and
which nothing has been able to conquer. On
her return homo, il is said she went through in
dumb show a great part Of the performances
sho had Witnessed; and soon after being taken
to the Olympic, where a clown danced a gro
tesque dance; on her return home she went
through every step, with all the humor, gri-
mace and distortion, she had recently seen. II
was in 1917 that an event happened which led
her at once into public notice. Mr.. ID. Corr,
composer Of the music IN The Trapsiiers, &c.
had made an arrangement with the manager OF
Drury Lsno Theatre for performance thcro OF
Garrick's burletts OF Liihpuf, by young per-
sons b, wesn the ages Of six and ten, and who

Mr.. MDUFFIE's REPoRT.-We receiv-
ed yesterday from Mr.. Pearce the report of
Mr.. M 'Duilie, chairman Of the committee Of
Ways and Means on ''the state of the Public
Finances" Mr. NJ Duties whole aim appears
to be, TO attack that part of the annual Report
Of Mr. Rush, which recommends the protection
of Domestic Industry. We shall when our time
will allow take some extracts from the Report
and shew the fallaty Of the ground assumed by
Mr.. MD. Mr.. M'Duffie concludes his report
with the following paragraph
"It was principally to protect foreign conf
merce that this Union was originally formed;
and il may well be doubted, whether the de-
struc,ion Of the former would not put in jeop-
ardy the very existence Of the latter, by great
ly impairing both the motive for preserving
and the means Of sustaining, our expensive ma
tionsl institutions. The Committee, believe
that the Representatives. Of the People are
called upon, not only by considerations con-
nected with the national wealth and revenue,
but BY every consideration which gives valuo
TO the union Of tho States, TO reject the rec
ona,nenddtion Of the secretary ofthe Trsa'u-
nv, and arrest the progress Of a system, the
possible consequences Of whieh no American
can eonfempiate tDith indife'enee."

o-NATURAL HIsToRY. The proprietor
the American Menagerie of wild animals has
made us a visit, with the whole Of his formda.
BILE caravan, which is now exhibiting at Mum
roe's Inn, Market Square. The Menagene
contains an Elephant Of the largest sze ever
exhibited in this town, a full grown Royal tt
ger, Of Asia, u Leopard, two bumped or
pleasure Camel, the only one on the CONT
nent---a Guanicas, two Kangaroos, from New
Holland, beside variety Of minor animals:
the whole embracing a spectacle, peculiarly
calculated to CRAFTY the curious, and the ad-
miters Of natural history. The place Of exh-
bition, is we'll fitted up for the reception Of la
dies and gentlemen, and nothing offensive to
the most fastidious, is to be seen in the Mena-
gere.
The proprietor Of this establishment, was
the owner the Elephant, which was wanton-
ly murdered in Chepatchet, two years since
by body of desperadoos, and as he then lost
the principal part Of his private fortune, il is
no more than just and proper, that we should
by eur attendance, offer him some remunera-
ton Among all other studies, that Of Natural
History, is the most interesting and those who
are disposed TO become familiar with il, may
now accomplish their wishes, without resorting
TO books; and by paying 'rifing fee, they can
hold free communion, with representatives from
tho animal congresses, Of the four quarters OF
the Globe.

Mr.. MAcREADY. Mr., Macresdy, the dis
tingushed British actor, has published in The
New Monthly Magazine. a long article purpor-
ting to be faithful accoun: of the life of
William Granville Graham, late associate edi-
tor of the New-York Enqui er,whilst that gen.
tleman was in London. From the article il is
evident that Mr.. Macready was actua;ed by
good intentions and in drawing up his papers,
which induces one man to furnish facts in
relation TO his next neighbor.
The great length Of the article, forbids our
believe we 81 olld receive the lhlnks Of many
OF our readers.

HENRY NEELE.-The poet, and author of
Romance Of History, committed suicide, at his
lodgings, FIect-slreet London, about month
since. Mr.. Neele, was one of the most inter-
esting writers Of the age. HIS Romance of
History, will -perpetuate his memory. and gain
for him a posihumous fame, seldom enjoy
Cd Depression of spirits, disease to which
literary men are more or less table, and which
is generally the companion Of scdentary life,
drove him to the commission Of the rash act.
1t is reported, that he has left papers and MS.
behind him, which will be speedily prepared for
the press.

Mr.. Brougham's recent Speech in the House

Mr. BrOugham's recent Speech in the House
INTO the abuses which have been introduced
into the administration ofthe laws OF England,
is concluded by the following remarks:
"You have a great and glorious race TO run |;
your name will GO down TO psstcrity as that of
the most useful and important Parliament that
ever met. The far-famed conqueror Of his time
the victor Of Italy and Germany. counted all
his trumphs ptiful, and not worthy Of being
mentioned, in comparison with the Code which
he had established, and by which his name
would be known IN future ages. Try to rival
him--not in the desolatlng paths Of war, but in
the sacred arts Of peace. The Aaiterers of the
Edwards aud tho llenr'os compared them to
Justinian;--a far higher praise could be with
truth bestowed upon that Parliament, and that
King, under whose sanction, by whos0 as.
sistancc, counsel, and advice, a thorough and
wholesome amendment should be effected in The
laws Of this realm. (Cheevs)-H a crown 10
my simple view, possesses any lusass, it IS be-
cause II entities ihGse who wssra to promote
The welfare Of mankind. Augustus bonsted that
he found Rome brick, and that he loft it mar
bic; a greater boast may yet be made by your
King that he found the law DEAR and he left
il chenp( Cheers;) that he found il sealed
book, and he left il a volume open to al
(cheers;) that he found it the pa ,rimony of the
rich, and he left 1t the inheritance Of the poor,
(Ioud theersD that he found it sword in the
hands of oppression and craft, and that he left
it the staff of honesty and the shield of the
innocent" Continued cheering.)
The Liverpool Mercury says that "the speech
of Mr.. Brougham, on the state Of the law,
is allowed to be one Of the most surprising, if
not the most extraordinary forensic efforts ever
made in Parliament. If we recollect Alright :,
Sheridan, when he took so active a share in
the impea chment ofW arren Hastings, was some
what longer on his legs than Brougham was
on the late occasion; but par, Of the time was
occupied 6y the production of papers and docu-
menis; whereas Mr.. Brougham went on speak
ing, eloquenty and logically for upwards of
SIX hours, during which time he contrived to
rivet the attention of the whole House. In
fact, he may be said TO have spoken the vol
luminous pamphlet in which his speech has
been subsequently embodied; the report of the
speech, as given in an abridged version in the
London papers, measures twenty seven feet.
three inches; and it has been calculated, that
fit were displayed out in the fashionable
novel type, it would form n volume thicker
than any one of the Wnverley novels.''

" BAPTIsTs OF NoRTH-CARoLINA".-
The association of Baptists reciding in North
Carolina, who recently seeded from the for
mula Of the church, so far as to discounte-
nance the continuance of Foreign missions,
have published paper, in which they state
that they have witnessed with deep regret, that
some nf The sister churches of the North have
denounced them, "and dospitefuly used
them," because they have refused to encour-
age Foreign Missions. They say, that they
have been unjustly assailed, and accused Of IN
fidelity and Of innovating on the principles Of
the primitive Church. and declare that their
faith in the Holy Trinity. as we'll as in the
scriptures remain unshaken. The paper they
have presented to the world has a meek and
pious aspect, and breathes that language
which encourages peace on earth, and good
will among men.
1t has appeared 20 us, throughout the whole
Of this affair, that several of the Northern
Churches have been too much disposed to be
angry with their Southern sisters, and have
unnecessarily accused them Of rebellion and
infdclty. 1t is to be hoped that the schism
which at present exists between the churches,
will bs healed, snd that peace and good will,
will obtain an oscsndancy over the angry pas
sions, which too often are generated by mutu.
al Misunderstanding. The Baptist church
Of America, has from an early period in the his
tory OF our country, maintained very respecta-
bic and dignifsd standing, and we should be
sorry to see ii broken up by Theological d'a-
preements. and unnecessary schisns.

THE Proposals have bcen is-
sued at Baltimore, for publishing in thst city
new Literary Gazette, to be entitled the
" Emerald,' under the editorial ma cement
of RUFUS DAWES, Esq. of Boston. Mr..
Dawes is gentleman Of brilliant talents, and
as a poet, ranks among the ablest of the coun-
try. A retiring diifidence has heretofore KEEP,
him from the eye of public observation, and
like too many of his race, has suffered others
TO wear the honors which his own productions
have Justly won. Not long since, he was asso-
ciated with Mr.. Frederic S. Hill, in publishing
the Esprit of Cotempora ry Poetry,"a work
which possessed many merits, and displayed a
cultivated taste and sound judgment. 1t was
popular, though the publishers lost by it, and
whilst it was puied from Nova Zembla to
Japln," Mr.. Hall received all the credit, whilst
Mr.. Dawes was not mentioned, simply because
he did not claim those rights, to which he was
entitled-and that credit which was his due.
We shall look for the Emerald with some in
terest, and as we are satisfied that it must be a
work Of merit, we beg leave to commend it TO
the fostering care, and kind guardianship, Of a
liberal, intell gent, and literary community.

Hon. JONATHAN RUssELL.-It is surmised,
upon what grounds we know not, that Mr.. JON

Of the infamous pamphlet published by Isaac

the wife OF the President, s most foully abused
SO gross and impudcnt an attack upon lady,

the charge made against him, II he would not
have the present feeling Of pity that is enter
tanned for his fallen state, changed into utter
contempt and abhorrence
1t is certainly not incumbent upon a high
minded and honorable man TO reply to every
charge made against him, but Mr. Russell,
