QUEEN VIcToRIA's BIRru DAY, the
21st Mav.-An extract from the Life of
the Duke of Kcntis having some circula-
ton in the papers, as containg some sin
gular facts regarding the birth of that il
lustrious lady In 1919, the Duke, her
father, being in Germany, expressed
strong desire that the then approaching
event should take place on the fourth of
June, George the 3rd's birthday, andin
England, that the child might be true
born Briton. The Dukes family were
litterelly prevented from going to Eng
land through the want of necessary
means. The biographer charges the
Dukes royal land dissolu!e) brother wita
studied neglect of the Duke, in this en-
crgency. And it is striking, if this writer
is TO be credited to mark the earnest de-
sire of the Dutchcss, that her child should
he born in London, and the narrow chance
that was encountered of the present
Queens being eligible to the throne. The
Duchess was enabled to reach the En-
glish capitol only by the assistance of
private and comparatively speaking hum
BILE, friends, George, then Regent, did
not attempt to conceal his dislike Of his
brot:.er, he father Of the future Queen.
But the father and mother succeeded in
III cir aspirations, and Victoria was born
on the 21st of May, 1919; and will conse-
qucntly be thirty years old, one week
from to-day. She is the mother of six
children--.hc eldest princess, the
Youngest prince, the second prince,
and the other three princess. The latest
born, whose birthday was the lst inst,
is by right and title, the Duke of York
the eldest prince, the Prince of Wales.
The emigration from New South Wales
into California, has been already very
great, and it is destined, it would seem, to
be much extended. Out Of the Savings
Bank of Sydney, N. S. W., 100000 were
drawn in one week in November last, by
persons designing to try their fortunes in
California, and notice was given by others
of the working classes that, in the month
of December following, 100000 would
be called for. This heavy draft upon the
Savings Institution obligd them to scel

Connected with this, we learn that at the
same time there were some three hundred
houses, from the same causes, for sale OF

by oTwAY CURRY. q
'Tis sweet to think when struggling
The gaol of life to win,
That just beyond the shore of time
The better yenrs begin.
When through the nameless ages
least my longing eyes,
Before me- like n boundless sea,
The great hereafter lies.
Along its beaming bosom
Perpetual summer smiles,
And gathers like a golden robe,
Around the emerald isles.
There in the blue, long distance,
BY lulling breezes famed,
/ seem to see the Towering groves
OF old Beulah's land
And far beyond the islands
That gem the wave serene,
The image of the cloudless shore
OF holy heaven is seem
Unto the great hereafter
Aforetimes dim and dark
] freely now and gladly give,
Oflife, the wandering bark.
And in the far offheaven,
When shadowy seas are passed,
BY angel handsits quiyering sails
Shall there be furled at last,

Gals of Great Britain have become invest
ed with degree of interest hitherto un-

between the hasty, disiointed, and nc.
cessarily imperfect records of the news
papers, and the elabora, emd pondcrous
|trcatiscs to be furnished by tie historian
at a future day. Whoever reads these
periodicals obtains a acorrect and connect

events of the old world, as they occur,
and learns the various conclusions drawn
from them by the leading spirits of the
age. The American Publishers. there
fore deem it proper to call renewed atfeints
ton to the works they republish and the
very low prices at which they are offered
to subscribers. The following is their
list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGm REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
and
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the

firmly expressed, of the three greal par
ties in England Tory, Wing, and Radi-
cal--"Blackwood" and the "London
Quarterly" are Tory the Edinburgh
Review" Wing; and the "Westmiter''
Review" Liberal. The "North British
Review" owes its establishment to the
last great ecclesiastical movement in
Scotland, and is not ultra in its views on
any one of the grand departments of hui
man knowledge; twas originally edited
by DR.. halmers, and now, since his
death, is conducted by his son.in-law,

TmRpL owEL FACTORIES. The Lowell
Advertiser in noticing the assertion that
some of the factories in that city had stop
ped running because they could not sell
their goods, says:
Some of the mills in Lowell are to be
stopped to hayethcir machinery repaired
and improved, and some to substitute the
Turbine for the old wheel. But not
one, we think, on account of depression
of the manufacturing business.
1t says also that the owners intend get
ting rid of their foreign laborers to a
great extent, and get back the American
men and women, whose labor, after all,
is cheapest on account of their greater
skill.

The PRESIDENTIAL MOVEMENTS. w e
have already noticed the formation of a
"Free Trade Association" in New York,
having for its object the abolition of
any tariff or duties on imports whatev-
er, the total discontinuance of custom
houses, and the establishment of abso-
Lutte freedom ofimportation without any
check, impost or limitation whatever.
The Tribune tells us that another and
more formidable movement has recent
ly been commenced, which has leading
tendencies in common with the forego-
ing, but which is rather more practical
in its aims. 1t is in effect secret Or
ganization Of the free trade importers,
shippers, agents of foreign manuGactu-
rers, &C., to accomplish the nomination
of Hon. Robert ]. Walker, of Mississip-
pi, (Mr. Folks Secretary of the Treas
ury, and the main architect of the pres
ent tariff,) as the next ''Democratic"
candidate for President, at the same
time placing 'the party" on distinct and
unequivocal Gree Trade" grounds,
and then securing its triumph in the
election of 1852. This movement, the
Tribune says, has been backed by a
subscription of 100000, payable half
on demand and the balance in six
months.

PRESIDENT FILLMoRE.-Among the
proceedings Of the Convention, found in

&C., wlth the spirit of which the reader
with be pleased. He has borne himself
nobiy in this matter. We have noticed
with great satisfaction, his opinions
wherever expressed-in his message, and
in such other communications as have
met the public eye. His answer to the
enquiry of the Governor of South Caro-
lima, as to why he was sending troops in
that direction, in which he very politely
told him he was under no obligation to
State authorities, and intended as the
Commander of the forces of the country,
to distribute them where his judgment
led him to think proper, and his express
ed determination to make the officers of
the General Government in the North,
carry out the laws Of Congress, are equal
ly pleasing to the good citizen. He bids
fair to make avery popular President.

KILLING SnEEp.-William Tatnall,
in Christiana Hundred, had eighteen
sheep killed by dogs on the night of the
Sd instant. Micajah Churchman had a
lot killed within a short time, and sad
havoc has also been made on several
focks in the neighborhood.
We are assured that not less than one
hundred and sixty sheep have been kill
led in this manner; within the last three
months. This is great loss, not only
to the owners, but to the Stgte, as the
effect must be to prevent the farmer
from rearing sheep. To remedy this
evil we should have a law enacted the
coming winter, taxing dogs, and apply
ing the amount Of money realized in
this way to the establishment of a fund
to pay for the sheep which may be
hereafter killed by dogs. This would
be just-those who keep dogs should
pay for whatever damage they may do,
the whole canine race should be made
answerable for the evil deeds Of the
