LETTER FROM ENGLAND.

W.
LONDON, June 8.
Every eye in England is turned now upsI
Russia: there seems to be q very grea
likelihood of war with that arbitrary, ar
rogant, and restless power. She has an

age, and willing to throw his glove to al
the world, if need be, talks loudly of enact
ing the FIRST act Of drama, to be called
the Destruction of the naval power Of
Russia" But, it Is said, that the Duke OF
Wellington is warmly opposed to a rupture
with Russia, and here scandal has found a
peg to hang one of her progeny upon. A
year ago, the Duke was very much in debt
within few weeks, he has found means to
free himself from all pecuniary embarrass-
ment, and has purchased the beautiful es-
tate of Sir Peter Pole, the ex-banker of
Strathfeldsay, for G260O0O, and has an
n0xed two other estates to 1.-THE whole
costing near O0,0OO-and enclosing a
space Of near 80 miles in circumference.
In addition to this, the site 10 marked for n
superb mansion, which will cost or E300,-
600 more, forbye the penishing." Apslsy
House, his Grace's mansion at Hyde Park
Corner, has undergone complete repair at
an expense exceeding 100000, [$l5O,00Ol
and orders have been given, it is said, for
new furniture! Presuming upon this sud
den show of wealth, the Duke is openly
accused of taking bribes from Russia /!
Others more charitable, suppose that it is

SOUTHERN BRAvADo. The Governor of
South Carolina, Mr.. Miller. could not let
the opportunity of 4th of July dinner, in
his own State, pass without leading his
voice to stir up sectional animesities con-
corning the American System. His speech,
previous to announcing his toast at the din
nsr, is as inhamatory IS any which last
year produced. The dissolution Of the
Union he speaks Of, as if such an unholy
attempt would deserve commentator, if
the tariff were not repealed. In his preface,
or exordium, however, he announces what
may well GccOunt, if it does not apologize,
for his foolish remarks. His words are I;
"Impudenee is sometimes virtue. / do

then little instinct-4ature's license to do

has decided preference for the license to
do icrong, rather than for the iHducemsnt
of reason" to do and speak right.
The following is another paragraph from
the hot-headed gentleman's speech:
I" As it is, there never was a more fatal
delusion than the South Tar Scheme. Should

we have still conservative principle
Euents prove the truth of the position that
si0ue labor can sloeep free labor from the
field Of competition from cambria and needles,
to blankets and cannon"
The following is the Governors toast:
"The Msnufacturers-We feel a sym
patty for their distresses, and so we do for
Rowland Stevenson"
A clergyman named Carlton delivered
an Grafton at Savannah on the 4th of July,
in which there were many violent passages.
The closing paragraph will sutnce 10 shuw
the spirit Of charity in which the citizens OF
the north are considered by the reverend
gentleman. We had hoped (says the Bos-
ten Paliadium) this fierce sectional inveter-
acy was wearing away. But we begin to
fear it will continue, whom we see the cier-
gy giving to it their sanction IN such I'M
measured language as this =
"Whsn dead to the voice Of reason. they
shall laugh ut your reproaches, then bear
sOith them no longer,-tear the recollection
of that affection from your hearts, and its
shackles from your hands, and, to use the
words Of one of Gcorgia's pureSt patriots,
having exhausted the argument, stand by
yo~r arms"

"On Sunday, the Goth ult., in the AFTER

upon the waters Of the lake, about seven
