SIR THOMAS LAwRENcE's FIRST LOVE.
Sir Thomas Lawrence was, in early life,
deeply enamourcd of daughter of Mrs
Siddons, whose fate has been Il source of
sorrow to him for years, even though his
spirits have been buoyed up by the friend
shin Of some of the most eminent and en-
ated personages in Europe. When he
first proposed to Mrs Siddons, some OBJ
lection was made on the score of his want
of wealth; but Mr.. Siddons with true lib
erality, said, that "a he was n young man
of powerful and rising talents there could
be but little doubt that he would be able
to support his daughter in a comfortable,
if not in splendid style; and, as he was
known to be in embarrassed circumstan-
ces, offered at the same time to relieve
him of his membranes, and desired him
to send him clear estimate of his debts,
that he might be enabled TO commence a
married life unfcttered by the pressure of
adverse circumstances. When Sir Thom-
rs collected his bills, he found the amount
far greater than he had himself believed;
and not to shock his intended iathcr-in-
law, by sum total which would make
his mprovidence appear intolcrable, he
deducted five thousand pounds from the
amount, little thinking that discovery
would be made of the concealment, and
prove fatal to his hopes of happiness. 1t
was however, discovercd and Mr.. Sid
dons, in anger refused, his consent to any
further CORES spondencc between him and
his daughter. Sir Thomas was almost
frantic at the fatal effects of his own folly,
and did every thing in his power to re-
trieve his error Miss Siddons was in
pitiable condition, but as he had deceived
her father respecting his embarrassment
said nothing; she bore the blow as quiet
ly as her feelings would permit. In Il few
months, however, her excited and agoniz-
ed feelings brought on severe attack of
illness, for which the physicians ordered
her to Bristol, where her recovery soon
became hopeless. Blightcd affection had
reduced her to the verge ofthc tomb, and
now her parents would willingly have
given up all their property to have avert
ed the dreadful blow, which was soon
likely to deprive them of fondly-lovcd
child. Mr.. Siddons offered to send for
Sir Thomas Lawrence ,and do every thing
in his power to add to her comfort; but
the poor broken hearted girl only replied,
"No; it is too late now," and she very
shortly afterwards perishcd in tho prime
Of life, the victim of thwarted love.

A gentleman of the city Of New " ork,
now on tour through Europe, in letter
to his friend, givesthc following account
Of the expedition recently fitted out at
Toulon, which place he visited in May.
"On arriving at Toulon, we found the
place crowded with soldiers, horses, and
every thing you can think Of for the cx-
pcdition to Algicrs, the port crowded with
transports and vessels of war, say 500 of
the former and $50 Of the latter; we were
so fortunate as to get a room on the quay
commanding view Of the whole. Mr..
R---and myself knowing that we
could not get permission to enter the Ar
senal, thought we would makcth attempt
to pass unnotccd, walked boldly past the
guard who mistook us for persons em-
ploycd. We had our travelling dress on,
my French cap gives me something OF a
French air-wc made quite survey OF
the Arsenal, there are six beautiful ships
of the line building, they are sharp on the
floor, ours believe are flat amdships--
the RATS for landing the troops at AlSicrs
are to be lloatcd by casks. We also saw
the galley slaves with their chains, about
1000 are employed in this place.
next morning we took boat, sailed round
amongst the ships in the outer harbor,
which is very excellent; most orthc trans
ports are Ncapoltan and French, few
Sandman; they get 13 lr.per ton month,
the owner victuals and mans. Flour at
the moment would have paid handsomely,
large sales at AZ fir. per bbl. American.
The ships ofwa arc very handsome and
mcnts, about 1000 men, embark; it was
done with great regularity, and very
quick; it raincd hard the whole time, the
poor soldiers were drenchcd; about 49,
900 sail with the expedition, of which
5000 are cavalry. A large body will be
cncampcd near Toulon ready in case Of
need; Frenchmen, however, speak Of the
capture of Algicrs as certain; arrange
mcnts are made to hold possession of it
two or three years, TO destroy all the
ports on the sea side; should they be fort
innate in weather to land, there is no rca-
son to doubt their success. The sol
diers are all young, from 10 to 22-thc
commanding General, Bourmont, is un-
popular because he deserted Napoleon.
From all could learn, | have no doubt
the vessels got under way to day-ln tcu
days we shall have reports of their do
ings. Toulon appears imprcgnablc, by
sea and land. The cost of this grand
expedition is immense, not less than lOO,-
100000 frs; every possible provision is
made to ensure success and for the health
of the men; how formidable and imposing
it appears compared with the few ships
sent to Algicrs by the U. States!"

he seldom fails to draw tears from his au-
ditors. He found his parents, and bro
theirs and sisters alivc-thc house, the

ADVICE OF AN INFIDEL.

Dr. Elliot was well acquainted with
Col. Allen celebrated infidcl in Ameri-
ca, and made him visit ut time when
his daughter was sick and near DEATH
lie was introduced to the library, where
the Colonel ead to him some of his writ
ings with much scli-complacency, and
asked 'Is not that well doneW While
they were thus employed, Il messenger
entered, and informed Col. Allen that his
daughter was dying, and desired to speak
with him. Hc Immediately went to the
chamber, accompanied by DIR. Elliot
who was desirous of witnessing the inter-
view. The wife of Col. Allen was pi-
Gus woman and had instructed her daugh-
ter in the principles'of Christianity. As
soon as her father appeared at her bed
side she said to him "I am about to die;
shall believe inthe principles you taught
me or shall believe in what my mother
has taught mc!' He became extremely
agitatcd; hislips quivcrcd, his whole frame
shook, and after waiting few moments,
he replied, "Believe what your mother
has taught you"

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.

The patent lever Watch is claimed as
an English invention, and Robert Ros-
cal, itoskclll of London, the vcndcr and
patcntcc of watches upon this construc-
ton, has made an immense fortune by
the business. lie obtained the invcn-
ton in this manner: Mr.. Asa Spencer,
when working as journcyman watch
maker in Hartford, made the first lever
watch, and kept it for his own use. He
afterwards commenced engraving, and
went to London with Mr.. Perkins in that
business. He there showed his watch
to MIR. Roskell, who borrowed it long
enough to get the model, and immediate
ly introduced the invention to the public
as his own, and obtained patent; thus
acquiring credit, celebrity and wealth
by the invention, while the actual inven-
tor (as is often the case with men of gen
ius) was thrown into obscurity and pow
erty.
