A BOLD PREAcHER.-The holiness Of Sam
uel Davis, a qualification SO important, that
even Paul requested the Christians to pray
that it might be given him, will be illustrated
bv q single anecdote. When President of
Princeton College, he visited England for
the purpose Of obtaining donations for the
institution. The King George I'D had Gu.
riosity to hear preacher from "the wilds
of America" He accordingly attended, and
was so struck with his commanding clio.
quence, that he expressed his establishment
loud enough to be heard half way over the
house, in such terms as these: "He IS q
wonderful man :" "Why. he beats my
Bishops" sc. Davies, observing that the
King was attracting more attention than
himself, paused, and looking his Majesty full
in The face, gave him, in an emphotic tone.
the following beautiful rebuke. "When
the Lion roareth, let the beasts of the forest
trembe; and when the Lord speaketh, let
the Kings of tho earth keep silence" The
King instantly shrunk back in his seat, like
a school boy that had been wrapped over tho
head by his master and remained quiet
during the remainder of the Sermon. The
next day the monarch sent for him, and gave
him fifty guineas for the institution over
which he presided, observing q. the same
time to his courticrs-"He is an honest man
-un honest man."
lord IMorpeih-Thc Richmond Enquirer
of Tuesday last, thus speaks OF Lord Nor
pcth:
Lord Morpeth arrived in Richmond ON
Saturday evening, and left it, on last eve-
ming, in the cars for the South. He is pro-
ceeding to Charleston, and further South.
and perhaps to some of the West lndIaSlsI-
ands. He may return to Virginia IN tho
course of the summer, and visit our springs
and view our mountain scenery. But as no
is spoken of as a candidate for Dublin IN
the House of Commons, his sojourn i'll tho
United States may be cut short by the ne
cessity of his return home. Lord M. is ono
of the most liberal statesmen and popular
and rising politicians in the British Empire.
He has a strong Partially for the Ameri-
cans and expresses the sincerest desire to
preserve the harmony between the two
countries. He is struck with the great scale
on which everything is constructed IN Anne
rica-with the immense extent OF our coun-
try-the extraordinary volume Of our riv-
erS, &c.
lie is'travelling in the United States. ON
our railroads and steamboats,, IN the SIM
plest style-without equipage, without any
species of state, without even servant. In
his manners he is equally unassuming.-
He affects no airs; and appears only ike
a plain, unpretending, but polished gentle
man, of good sense-taking a deep interest
in all that he sees, speaking of our country
with great liberality, and never Boosting OF
his own.
Family Of Sir Waller Scost-Advices have
been received in England Of the death OF
Charles Scott, son Of the late Sir Walter
Scott. lie died at Teheran, and at the time
of his death was one of the persons attached
to the embassy of Sir John Mcneil The
editor of the Leeds Mercury makes the fol-
lowing comments Oh this melancholy event:
allow vain are often our most cherished
hone and ambition. Sir Walter Scott ex-
pected-toiled--and died---to found an
estate. His Family was then numerous,
and the Scots of Abbotsford were in his inn
agination to rival any of the border chiefs
of the oldcn time. Along line OF descendants
would regard him, the poet founder OF tho
family, with pride and yeneration' 1t seems
certain now, that the direct succession will
not continue beyond the present generation.
His eldest son has no family; the second
has died in a foreign country without issue;
both his daughters are dead. Misfortune
has lowered the crest of Abbottsford: and
the halls which Sir Walter took so much
pride in rearing, will scarcely ever again
be trod by one of his children. The only
survivor is now in India. Mr.. Charles Scott
was of a reserved and diffident temper and
disposition but possessed of considerable in
teliigence and fund of quiet humor, which
he delighted to exercise among his private
friends. He was carefully educated at Ok
ford. but from his unobtrusive manner and
retired habits was little known, and made
no cxertion beyond his official duties and q
few friends and relations"
