SIR WALTER RALEIGH.


of This unfortunate man without experiencing
feelings of the deepest sympathy in his late, or
The conviction that he was the victim OF over
weaving confidence on his own par, and treach-
cry on the part OF his sovereign, who is as well
known in history for her oibeS as she is Tor her
Intellectual vigor But OF all his severe trials,
perhaps none possesses so much interest, anu
appeals so strongly 10 the sympathies vi The hui
man heart, as the parting scene in the prison cell,
when for the last time he is permitted TO embrace
the wife of his bosom, and then torn away and
separated from her forever.
We have been led 10 make these remarks by
an examination OF a splendid line engraving Of
Leulz's painting of tina, hear-rending scene, pre-
scented to us by Messrs. Drinker & Morris, Hon.
orary Secretaries OF the American Arl-Union.
A friend, fine artist, who is now in this city,
informs us that nothing could have been more
admirably conceived than Ire two figures in the
re.ground, representing Sir Waller as freed
from the manaces which bound his feet, his
hands still trammeled and his fine features ey-
pressing the torturipg grief Of his soul, which
evidently arises more from an anxious Soicudc
for The welfare Of that devoted being vino clasps,
in the agonies oil despair, his tetered hands than
any dread for the awful fate to which he is DOOM
ed But who but The painter can describe The ier
rble feelings that agitale The bosom Of that vile,
and distort The lines OF beauty into expressions
that, even in picture, can scarcely be viewed
wi,hou, the kindling Of emotions which promp,
him to rush upon The armed myrmidons who
may be seen in The distance impalen, for Inc Ie.-
minalion OF This sad interviews
These remarks may seem better suited 10 The
criticism Of the original painting-but their ap-

THE NEWS BY THE CAMBRlA.-The
correspondent OF the Philadelphia Ledger, wri-
ting from New York, in relation 10 the probable
effect Of the news on The markets, says:
1.-THE Unexpectedly severe commercial inlelli-
eence received BY the Cambria has created &c
neral excitement here, without confinement 10
circles, and speculations upon the consequences
that will result from il TO large dealers and spe-
culaiors are rife. No doubt numbers here and
elsewhere will be involved in pecuniary ruin by
the very great decline which has taken place on
the other side in all descriptions Of breadsluffs.-
But there is reason TO hope that the case is not so
desperate as The quotations frs, transmitted By
telegraph would a, The first blush appear 10 indi.
cate, and for the following reasons;
"From all that appears in the accounts re-
ceived, by far The most productive cause in The
decline was The powerful panic which The Lon
don money market had experienced, and which
OF course affected every department Of business.
The continued favorable prospect OF The crops OF
course exercised large influence in this mat.
ter but nothing approaching that produced by The
Cause first reterredt TO. This panic, like all other
panics OF the kind, will be Of bnl temporary con-
inuance, and, as its strength, names and conf
dence becomes restored, It's influence on the mar
kets will also disperse, and they will be left to the
operation OF other causes entirely. Relieved oil
| this incumbrance the markets will Of course inn
prove"
