DECLINE OF ROYAL AND NOBLE FAMILIEs.-
Burke, in the Anecdotes of the Peerage,"
says: 1T has often occurred to us that a very
interesting paper might be written on the rise
and fall of English families. Truly does DR..
Borlase remark, that 'the most lasting houses
have only their seasons, more or less, of GER
tain constitutional strength: they have their
spring and summer, sunshine glare, their wane,
decline and death Take, for example, the
Plantagenets, the Staffords, and the Neviles,
the three most illustrious names on the roll Of
English nobility. What race in Europe sur
passedin royal position, in personal achievement,
our Henrys and our Edwards? ? and yet we find
the great-great- t-grandson of Margaret Plantage-
net, daughter and heircss of George, Duke of
Clarence, followed the craft of cobbler, at the
little town Of Newport, in Shropshire, in the
year 1857. Besides, if we are to investigate
the fortune of many of the inheritors of the
royal arms, it would soon be discovered that
the aspiring blood of Lancaster had sunk into
the ground. The princely stream flows at the
present time through very humble veins Among
the lineal descendants Of Edmund of Woodstock.
earl of Kent, sixth son of Edward l., king of
England, entitled to quarter the royal arms,
occur Mr.. Joseph Smart, of Halestown butcher
and Mr. George Wilmot, keeper of the turn
pike gate at Coopers bank, near Dudley; and
among the descendants of Thomas Plantagenet,
duke of Gloucester, fifth son of Edward l., we
may mention Mr.. Stephen James Penny, the
late sexton Of st. Georges, Hanover Square,"

TELEGRAPHIo FEAT.-The New York and New

received messages to and from each terminus
with rs much ease as though it were only to
and from Philadelphia or Boston. At twelve
o'clock, message of thirty-four words, adj
dressed to the New Orleans Picdyune, was sent
from the Office in this city direct, and an answer
was returned in less than five minutes. The
distance between New York and New Orleans,

HoAxING LEARNED Bopms.-The broadest
and most laughable attempt of this kind wa
ever heard of is related by the venerable Mat
thew Carey of Judge Breckenridge the elder
The Judge, it seems, had mortal antipathy to
philosophical societies, which was the more re-
markable from his being a scientific and we'll
read man. But he at length explained the mys-
terry, by stating that he had been rejected by
the American Philosophical Society, of which
he was candidate for membership, in revenge
for democratic vote he had given in the legis-
lature OF Pennsylvania against what was termed
the province money" And he resolved to be
reyenged in return. He not only wrote his sa-
tirical work called Modern Chivalry, but he
palmed off upon that body some most ridiculous
deceptions Among other things, he took his
grandmothers fan, and, having ingeniously
twisted, gummed and painted and prepared it.
sent 1t to the society as the wing of bat!
Matthew Carey says sit was received with due
solemnity, and o vote of thanks was passed to
the donor. debate arose as to the species Of
bat to which it beonged and a committee Of
seven was appointed to ascertain whether it
was the wing of Madagascar or Canada bat.
The committee sat three weeks, and, after con-
sulting Buffon's Natural History and Gold
smiths Animated Nature, they reported that it
must have belonged to Madagascar bat It
was pronounced the greatest curiosity in the
museum, except q large sheet of brown paper,
which he hung in the chimney, and disguised
with SCOT and dirt, and palmed upon the society
as part of a Brahmin's shirt!'
EQUALITY OF THE RAcEs.-This is the sub
ject of a new work by John Campbell, which
has just issued from the press in Philadelphia.
To prove the inferiority of the negro to the
white race, the writer adduces many facts, both
ancient and modern. We have only room for
the following extract:
9 | take it for granted that no dark race Of
men has ever been equal to white race. Equal
numbers, cetcris paribus, the dark race must
submit to the fair; the two cannot exist to-
gether in the same community on terms Of
equality. speak not here of the justice or in
justice of the matter-I only speak Of the fact:
the whole history of the world proves it. 1t is
an actual fact, truth, a reality, as it was five
thousand years ago, 80 it was four, and three,
and two, and one thousand years ago-so it is
to-day, that the dark races have always to
yield to the superior intellect of the white.
Never ut any given time, from the most inf
nitely remote antiquity until now, has there
ever appeared race of negroes, that is, men
with woolly heads fiat noses, thick and protru-
ding lips, Who has ever emerged from state
of savageism or barbarism, to even demi civil
ization: look to the West Indies, to Brazil, to
Australia, to the Gold Coast, to Zanguebar, to
Congo, to Senegambia, to Ashantee, nay, to
the civilization under his Imperial Highness
Faustin, the first Emperor of Hayti and an
swer me, ye Garrisons, and Philipses, and Fol-
SONS, and Smiths, what has this race done in
five thousand wears %
