Sir Robert does not conine himself TO poll
tics, but dabbles a little in every thing. There
is no better or more liberal patron OF arts OF
literature, and his collections Of paintings and
statuary are second to few. As an agricultural
list, he surpasses all his neighbors, and no year
passes without his carrying away some oil the
principal prizes at the cattle shows. lie used
to attend the meetings in person, dine with the
gentry after the business of the day, and make
a speech that could not be surpassed for the
practical knowledge it displayed, by any one OF
the native clod-hoppers' He has the best
ponds and the finest fish in the country, the
best horses, the finest sporting dogs, the finest
preserves, and is himself the best shot within
miles of his residence. He will forgive man
for any crime but destroying his game; man
may steel q sheep with less IMMUNITY than he
may shoot pheasant or gin hare. These
are sacred, and every October he will retire to
the country, taking with him Prince George OF
Cambridge, and some twenty more OF the cock
ney nobility, TO relieve the turmoils OF office
and political wrangllng with fortnight's bat
tau shooting.
Sir Robert is immensely rich, though not a
large landed proprietor, His estate does not
comprise more than three thousand acres OF
land, The bulk of his money is in the funds
His family are all rich; he has i've or SIX
brothers, all living; each has q family Of eight
or twelve children, He makes it rule never
to give any situation under government to re-
lative; few years back, he gave an Office to
his nephew, Col Peel, but he did not suffer
him to enjoy il more than two months He
has established two annual prizes at Cambridge
at his own expense, both of which were won
the first year, by his own son, his fourth child
and the most promising member of his family

that if ever a monarchy is re-established in
Mexico, il must be by the will Of the people Of
the country, not by foreign interference, But
the attention this scheme has attracted in A
merca has proved powerful diversion from
the Oregon controversy; and, five are not mis-
taken, Mr.. Polk will find that, before he pur-
sues that subject, all his resources will be re-
CURED for the defence Of Texas and the pro-
ected attack on Mexico. We cannot venture
conjecture as to the fate Of Mexico itself at
such crisis, but the most accredited opinion
seems to be, that if Paredes is unable to sustain
himself, Santa Ana will be recalled, and inves-
ted with dictatorial powers
We abstain from Offering an opinion as to the
course which it may be incumbent on this
country TO pursue in the event of hostties be-
tween Mexico and the United States, until the
facts are before us. This much, however, is GER

and our duty TO be eager and resolute. The
difficulties which surround the Cabinet OF
Washington are self-sought and selt-created.-
The people may have TO bear the punishment
ofthe peoples folly; and the government which
yielded to its delusions will i'll provide for its
defence But since they have provoked these
discussions, and will, perhaps, ere long have
committed themselves by acts ola more deci
ded character, the time is come when we, too
must be resolved to lose no time in obtaining
for the British interests in Oregon, the protec
ton of "a de6nitve treaty with the U. States

SARCASTIC. On Monday last General Cass
replied to the great speech Of Col. Benton, or
the bill to protect the rights Of American Cit
zens in Oregon; when the latter made severe
and sarcastic rejoinder He insisted that the eff
ty four forty" men had been originally misled by
ignorance Of facts, but that now they were at
tempting designedly to m.iead the people. In
the course Of his remarks, Col. Benton said:
''The great organ, and FIVE hundred small
ones following is notes, and many ten thousand
tongues, had proclaimed the 81 10 line, and
our right up to it, and, thus acting upon the
patriotic feelings of the people, had prepared
them for q war with Great Britain for that
line, when there was no such thing; and Tor
Frazer's river on this side of it, without know
| ing it was there. The people had been led IN
| to error; inhamed to the war-point upon mis-
take: and now, when the mistake was shown,
the TUG Of another war came upon poor human
nature To admit the error and ask pardon OF
God and man, was the part Of justice and can
dor; but this was Illuminating to vanity, and
selcloye and the pride of consistency. 10

was the part of human frailty; and the Sena-

has obeyed the law OF frailty: he has persevered
in error he converts into design what was in
the beginning mistake We are now TO have
war, as far as the Senator and his party can
make it, upon design, and without pretext; toi
he could not name Frazer's river, which is the
sole object, and would be the instant cause OF
war.

MAJOR RNGGoLD's BIRTH-PLAcE. Riding
by former very stately mansion, about three
miles from this place, musing upon topics
various as we went along, we were sudden
ly struck with the thought, flashing with a
thrill through our mind, that the green mea-
dows and hedges and surrounding fields were
once the scene Of Major Rnggold's childhood
the birthplace of him who so Valiantly
fought in defence Of his country and now rests
in his grave on the plains Of Texas The site
Of the mansion, NOW Saint James's College
is one of the most beautiful on earth-paIticu-
lary so at this season Of the year. We view
ed the elevated building and rich and delight
fal scenery ,andinvountarly slgned, here are the
gambols and sporting grounds OF the once
youthful patriot and soldier, MAJOR Samuel
Rnggod. No doubt, those scenes to many OF
our citre is would recall recollections as fresh
as those g the morning. His relatives and
school mates are here IN numbers, to lament
and deplore his melancholy fate.
