MIR. c. DICkeIIS.

This gentleman has been pretty severely
handled for his notes on this country. His
egregious vanity led him in the belief that be-
cause he could sketch English low life to per-
fection, therefore he could scan and measure
the colossal llubs of this great country at
single glance. Mr.. Schoolcrait in recent
lecture in New York, deals him the following
severe blow -
Travelling has this pecularity, that in addi-
ton to the never ending charm of novelty, il
enables one to select and fix upon any one, two,
three or dozen subjects, to which the mind,
by natural bias, or education, leans. But it
too often happens think, at least for the
cause of good books or useful knowledge, that
travellers in foreign countries allow these &C.
lections to fall upon the merest evesy day tri-
sequence for the present age, or for poeterity,
to be informed. Perhaps this sllusion will be
better understood, and | dare say, the Society
will pardon Il, if instance the case OF an
Engli-h writer popular fiction, of celebrity,
who recenty favored this country with a visit,
the scope of whose observation was, in great
measure;eonfined to the comforts OF his appe-
tito, dr'toh mere animal qualification. And he
ieit, an this respect, under the force of piece
ofcrtieism once made on the poet Blackmore
that
"Hr oas eyalitc in trifes, aud eminent
in H@g nifcant knowiedge,"
In the only instance in which the visitor re-
ferred to took notice of the natural history o
the country, he most probably misiook, in the

MILroS J. .ALgx,sprR-The jury in the case
Of this unhappy man brought in the verdict on
Tuesday afternoon a week, at o'clock; we give
below the affecting scene, as reported for the Uni

Before that hour, the jury appeared in the boz;
and that fact taken by those verscd in such
matters, as an indication tha, they had agteed,
which supposion proved to be in this case,
as att the opening Of the court, they rendered the
following verdict Ave find Milton J. Alexander
not guilty of the felony of murder, but guilty Of
msnsaughte
The priscncr, who had been standing, as is the
form, no sooner heard the last words than he fell
backwards in his chair in a plroSism Of grief, his
sobs were long and loud, hut far exceeded by
those which burst from his aged and agonized
parcn, and his elder brother. The spectacle was
a most affecting one: from the moment OF the rem
ditfon Of the verdict until we left the court room,
(at nearly five o'cock,) the father had not taken
his hands from the body Of his son, which he clasp
ed as convusively as if he was then to part from
! him forever.

! words of con ISOLATION mo the fathers ear but up
/ to hr nomeu, in which W. lift, with but little ap-
parent eli ct. The hrother too, remained inconso-
