THE ORIGIN OF THE pttkwIck PAPERS.

The ORIGIN OF THE PlCkWICk PAPERS.
The author of those admirable Sketches of ''Po-
puar Persons and Places;'' now in their second
series, which have, from time to time, appeared in
the Boston .4ttas, furnishes the annexed history of
the Pickwck Papers, Which Were the foundation
of Dickens fame as writer:
GAS great many Stories respecting the origin of
the PIckwlck papers are current, none of them be-
ing the true one, and as know the correct one
VIII Just relate here, how it was that Boz so sud
denly rushed INTO popularity and went up like the
rocket, to come down, as it is generally admitted he
Is descending, like the stick
An artist named Seymour was, a few years since;
dragging out, in poverty, miserable, despondng
lie. Ills sketches were, in the midst of all his
prlvatlons, strange TO say, OF humorous character
and one day having conceived the idea of Depicting
In series OF sketches, the adventures of benevo-
lent Knight Errant, he made the four drawings
which accompanied the first number Of the papers
Having thrown these sketches by, he thought no
more OF the matter and again fell into desponden-
cy. His wife was energetic woman and one
evening, urged by want, she took these drawings
and proceeded to the shop of Mr.. Spooncr in the
Strand, who is publisher of caricatures. for the
purpose OF dIsposing of Them in order enable her to
meet the wants of the passing hour. Mr.. Spooner
was absent, and the poor woman was returning
home with broken spirits, when, happening to pass
"io oi'oP Va Ch"Piiah u 11all, VINO were then III q
very small way of business, she went in and offered
MIR. Chapman the drawings for a mere trife-or,
In fact, anything she could get. Mr. Chapman.
after some hesitation, purchased them, and on con
sulting MS partner they thought it would answer
to engage the artist to do more sketches and to pro-
cure some one to write story TO them, adopting
Seymour's idea OF the benevolent old Gentleman
Knight Errant. AT that time some sketches of
every day life and every day people We're being
published IN the Morning Chronicle, by Boz; and
Chapman & Hall thinking him the very man they
wanted, applied to Dickens, who agreed to write
the sketches for the sum have before mentioned.
thus 1t will be seen that to Seymour belonged the
original idea of Pickwick the benevolent old gen
tleman. Poor Seymour committed suicide soon
after the arrangement, the popularity which his
sketches acquired, having proved too much for him.
and his wife is now indigent--whilst Boz and the
publisher have almost coined money!"

But her memory stll, around my heart,
Like morning mists has hung.
They tell me of an angel form
That watched me while slept
And of soft and gentle hand
That wiped the tears I went.
And that same hand that held my own
When I began TO walk
And the joy that sparkcd in her eyes
When first l tried TO talk
For they say the mothers heart is pleased
When the infant charms expand
wonder if she thinks of me
In that bright happy land.
For know She is in Heaven now
That holy place OF rest
For she was always good to nc,
And the good alone are blcst.

She kissed my burning brow;
And the tear that fell upon my check

And have still some little books
She learned me how TO spell;
The Gliding, OF the kiss she gave,
still remember well!
And then she used 10 knccl with ME,

And raise my little hands to Heaven,
And tell me what TO say,

The West Indies and Brazil take do,tJle the

EXPECTATION OF AMERICAN WHEAT.

LITTLE VALUE OF TIE BRITISH MARKET.
The Free Traders of both England and America
are aware that unless an extensive and profitable
market for American Grain can be found in Great
Britain,>Ro great reduction Of the American farm
viii be sustained by the American people. They
knoylkhst the effect Of reducing our Tariff is to
ncrea$ the importation of British fabrics and so
far, ID diminish. or, at any rate to prevent the in
crease of american Manuiactures-the Home Mar
ket, and the largest. market OF American Produce.
They-say, it. Isl beher for us to have sour work
shops in Europe" Why? 1t is not better for
American Mechanics, Africans and Manufacturers;
for their business is just so far discouraged. Who
is it better for They say, the FARMERS, who
will export grain TO feed these %orlmen Of the
'sworkshops of Europe" But Farmers know that
the men and women who make broadcloths, Hats,
shoes, paper iron, Sc, will eat just much bread;
and rather more, if they live i'm America, than If
they live in England. Why, then, is it better for
the Farmer 10 keep our workshops in EurOpe2-
Why, the last resort, when driven from all other
argument. is, that the foreign fabrics cheaper
This is denied But SUPPOSE it true. What then2
IF the Farmer gains ten dollars year on one handj
and loses but smalk part of his home market; he
is loser by the bargain. He knows this and
hence the great object of the Free Traders, both in
England and America, is to convince the American
Farmer that he is TO have an crtended market IN
England for his products. This is the whole of
the argument. II it be not convincing the battle
fails.
We affirm that there are no facts, and not even
a toerabe argument, to sustain the theory of Free
Tr,ide, in the present state OF Civilization. We
shall examine

g And then the theory.
]. As to the facts, they belong altogether 10 the
past or the present. They cannot be dawn from
the future because the future has never come. 1t
is of the ways of mere theorists TO Supply by
bold prediction the total of either fact or ar
gument. They take refuge in the clouds of iniagi-
nation when they are driven from the Castle of
Reason.
The FIRST Flcr is that our trade with England,
Scotland and Ireland, in Wheat or Flour; is ALMOST
NOTHING, compared with the magnitude Of our
crops. We have before us the last Treasury Re

great care. 1t shows the commerce of the United
States IN each particular article, with each district

it cannot be shown from any thing in the past.
