has not invented any thing, nor do any ofhis
acts display features of originality, in any de-
gree, unless cestain dubious changes of accent
and emphasis termed g new readings" may
claim that merit. His scene of operations,
too, Is worthy ofremark. 1t is called the

Such is the employment, and such the scene
of operations of the celebated Edwin Forrest.

of bombast and drivelling, in such manner,

England to display his handsome form and
roaring enunciation abroad, and has gather

betoasted more than many better men have
been. But with how much justice, let others
determine. "

yesterday, was received the frame of two
story dwelling, of the dmentions of twenty
five by thirty feet, completely ready for rails

seem like carrying Goals to Newcastle, and
indeed it is somewhat difficult for us to ac-

cept upon the suppositon, that the immense
demand for building timber here, has SO raised
the price as to render it an object to import
it from other places.

Kings arose from the weakness Of man,
not from his wisdom ; they were not in
