Things Abroad.

ROYAL VIsIrs.-A late number Of
thel London Herald devotes its long col.
umns by the dozen to descriptions Of
Victoria's visit to the Duke Of Buck
ingham, at Stowe, large portion Of
which is taken up with description of
the interior Of the mansion of this no.
bleman. 1t is filed with treasures Of
every kind Of art, and on this occasion
all that ducal magnifcence could COM
mand was layishcd by the loyalty If
lis proprietor, to add 10 the beauty and
magnihcence of the mansion. The
queens suite Of apartments are thus
enumerated:
"The suite Of apartments especial
ly dedicated for the service of her ma.
jesty are on the eastern side Of the
mansion. They consist chiefly Of the
rooms called the Rembrandt room. the
breakfast and small dining parlor, the !
ante-library, the library, the music
room, the drawing room, the state
dining room, the state dressing room,
the state bed chamber, and state closet.
The room appropriated for the royal
bed room is the Rembrandt room, SO
called from its celebrated collection of
the works Of that great master. Be-
sides these, and among the many other
things equally worthy Of notice. are
the curtains and covers of the sofas
Of China silk, worked in silver on q
yellow ground. In the centre Of the
ceiling is painting by Valdre, Of Ve-
nus at her toilet.
| The furniture Of this room is princi.
pally ofmarqueteric. Two very mag.
nificent cabinets, with drawers and Sc
cret springs, are deliberately inlaid with
ivory, mother-o' pearl, and colored
woods, representing landscapes, figures
birds, flowers, &C.; they are mounted
in ormolu, in the centre Of one ofthem
is beautiful chasing in silver gilt of
a bacchanalian subject. /"
Such is the character of a column Of
such de- scription. The most delicious
odors pervaded the royal apartments;
they were lit up with heraldic Ian
terms, and filled as well with oriental
as European articles. We select two
descriptions
son the floor Of the room are two
ottomans ;ione Of crimson velvet, with
covcrid of Indian gold tissue; and
the other formed out of the cover of
Tippoo Saib's state palanquin. Il is
worked in gold and silver thread and
spangles, with the royal tiger stripes,
the emblem Of Tippoo, embroidered
thereupon.
"The sword and dagger which are
laid upon it were found in Tippoo's
bed chamber. in the palacelat Serinpa-
patam, Immediately after the storming
of the fort by the British troops
The handles Of both are enamelled in
gold, and were probably preserved by
Tippoo Saib in remembrance Of his
father, as they are stamped with the
letter II in the Persian charcter, signi-
flying that they had belonged to Hyder
Ali. They were presented to the late
Marquis Of Buckingham, by Richard
Marquis Of Wellesley"

short Patent Sermons.

IN these WcTuS
SLAYER or slain, it matters not,
We s,,uggle-perish-ar forgot!
The earth grows green above the gone,
And the calm heaven looks sterny on.
My hearers don't see what we
have to brag or feel proud of. We are
nothing but detached masses of COM
mon clay, possessing powers of loco
motion, and imbued with thought and
feeling :-avalanches of humanity
rolling down life's hill, with increased
velocity, into the dark vale of death
Coming generations-approaching in
mighty throngs, with low, incessant
thunder and a perfect rush, like flocks
Of sheep or herds of buffaloes-are
crowding and tumbling us by scores
over the fearful precipice. Down we
70, boys, with all our greatness and
boasted lsonors! and the peasant
ploughman, as he guides his share in
after time among our ashes, will pot
pause to consider whether the heap
that vert king will grow any better
potatoes than the mortal refuse Of a
poor pennyless fool. Then, my friends,
of what have we to feel so almighty
proud? OF fine, noble appearance :
AS well might horse or a jackass.
OF elegant apparel $50 may Loop
ard or peacock. OF riches ?-they
are ours but for day old Ocean hath
them for ever, and yet he behaves just
as he would without them. OF reason,
intellect and understanding ?-they are
the gifts of God, and we ought to feel
ashamed of ourselves that we make no
better use Of them. OF superiority
over all other beasts (? Get out the
lion licked the unicorn in fair fight,
and then went about his business as
though nothing of the kind had hap
peued. Had one Of us accomplished
such victory, we would have thrust
our hands in our breeches pockets
thrown back the head--put forward
the breast and belly-given stride
that would have reached halfway to
Oregon--s,raddled 2yramids-puffed
out the cheeks, and let off steam, gas
and wind enough for forty steamboats,,
as many balloons, and an extensive
windmill. The matter is, we have
really nothing to be proud of, but
truth, honesty and justice and these
articles are so very scarce that not one
in thousand can adjust his cravat, jerk
his coat collar, and pull down his vest,
with noble consciousness of having
them in his possession.
My friends--as says the text, acf
struggle. We struggle with circum-
stances-struggle to stem the tide oil
adverse iortune-struggle to get above
one another-struggle to get married
and then, (too frequently y like a
couple OF wrestlers, help to get each
other down-struggle with the devil
all through life-and, at last, have a
desperate struggle with Death. Fool
ish beings. We take Time by the
coat-tail. pull back with The might of a
maggot, and imagine we can hold him
in his impeiuous career! We strip
Pleasure to the skin,-take her cloak,
'kfrock. bonnet, hustle and all-rob her
OF every charm--and then say there
q no such thing as pleasure in the
world We extinguish the torch that
Hope holds in her hand, and follow
lightning bugs into ud-puddle By
operative folly, you frighten Happi
ness from your FIRE sides, and then say
nat she has " left your bed and board

The critic Of the London Herald
finds a world Of fault with the struc-
ture Of Meiamora, but seems well
pleased with the personifcation Of it
by Mr.. Forrest. 1t talks in the fol-
having manner about his acting:--
/" The character of NJ rtamora SEEM
ed TO suit Mr.. Forrest better than any
thing in which we have We, seen him.
1t is essentially melo-dramstic, and his
peculiarities Of manner therefore are
hardly objectionable. In an early
scene, when he faced the council Of
the white men, and pleaded in mag
unanimous terms for the rights Of the
poor Indian, he was very effective,
Gaping the interest Of the situation
by the startling energy with which he
slew his false countrymen, and -four
ished the tomahawk OF defiance. But
bis triumphant movement was at The
end, when he took leave Of his wife,
and sacrificed her, to avoid foreign deg
radiation. There we're really some
