pD-" BLAcKwooD" for November
opens with a poem entitled the I" Golden
Age" in which mild satire is embod-
led in easy versifcaiion. A large por-
ton of the number exclusively Of the
serial novels, is taken up with discussions
of English politics. An article on Queen
Mary pays a high tribute to the merits
of Miss Strickland as her biographer.
In regard to the character of Mary, the
writer gives highly rhetorical summary,
as follows
The extraordinary and increasing in
terest which the memory Of Queen Mary
has excited, in every age and part of the
world, is to be ascribed not so much to
the overpowering influence of any one
charm, as to the combined effect of many
with which it is invested. She united in
her person the whole attractions which
taken singly, have secured Immortality
for their pOssessor in former times. No,
less lovely or enchanting than Cleopatra
she subdued every man, save John
Knox, who approached her, and inspired
all the ardent and romantic in tn, Other
sex with the most absorbing and endear
ing passion. Not less captivating thar
Helen, she beheld all the princes of Eu
rope at her feet, and provoked strif'
in Christendom more fierce and lastin,
than that of ten years duration aroun'
the walls of Troy. She rivalcd Zenobi
in the spirit and animation with whic'
she traversed deserts on horseback, AM
endured with manly spirit the danger
and privations of war but, unlike her sh
did not fail in the moment Of her sores
trial, or mar her memory by quailing be
fore an inevitable fate No martyr G
the Chistian faith ever Thought life Wa

eyinced in death more sublime or he

Elm Grove Cemetery.

The object of the present notice is to
call public attention to recent pur-
chase of fifteen acres of land, lying on
the banks of Pawcatuck River, about
one and half miles south of this village,
for the purpose of establishing a public
cemetery. Many of our citizens who
have felt deep interest on this subject,
have, for sometime past, been endeavor-
ing to select some spot best adapted to
this sacred purpose. Various places
had been examined by them, to all of
which there seemed to be more or less
objection, until at length, their attention
was directed to this lot, when it was
agreed, without dissenting voice, that
more suitable location could not be
found in our vicinity.
The ground is beautifully situated on
the banks Of the river, commanding
most picturesque view of the stream, at
= a convenient distance from the village,
while it is far enough removed, to re-
{ main forever undisturbed by the en-
croachments Of man. The lot is already
, much improved, by the avenues, grading,
and planting of trees, and the work is
: still successfully progressing, under the
skilful superintendent of the Rev.
e John Taylor, who has manifested very
praiseworthy interest in this matter.
r 1t is expected that there will be lots
10 ready for sale, to any persons who may
n. wish to secure them, on and after
l. Wednesday of next week, the price o
lie which will be made moderate, and tn,
&C. proceeds of sales strictly applied to th
ms improvement and embellishments of tn
he grounds.
1t has been deemed expedicnt to hav
in the spot consecrated, by appropriate re
m ligious services, which will take place Of
IA Wednesday, the 22d inst, at 10 o'clock
les A. NJ, on the premises, on which occa
sr- sion, it is expected the clergy of tn
IN village will be present, and a genera
nd attendance of the public is respectful
ch requested. 1t is seriously to be hope
'us that this enterprise will be properly ap
i'd preciated and encouraged by all OF
,ial people.

FRANcE.-Thc New York papers are
filled with the details Of the Revolution in
France. The first news from thence did
not indicate that the contest had been SO
sanguinary as il is represented to have
been, in The following extract Of letter
IRON an American gentleman, now in Lon
don under date Of December -:
II heard day before Yesterday from Lord
Clarence Pagct, the Director Of The Ord
nance, that government messenger had
arrived from Paris, saying that there had
been 5000 killed instead of 500 as stated
and ,ha, the majority were innocent per-
sons, who had taken no part in the revo!u
iion. Another gentleman who has arrived
from Paris, an Englisbman who has resided
there, says tina, il shots were fred out Of
one house in block, cannon were fred in
10 tho whole block, aud the soldiers then
rushed in and hayouo,ted Mdiscriminaiel,
all within. This gentleman says he es-
capped from one Of those blocks Of houses,
but that his wife and clerk were killed BY
the bayoneis of the soldiers. Ialso learned
through Lord Paget that the British gov
ernmeut are a good deal alarmed at the sup
position TINT Louis Napoleon will unite
with Austria and Russia to pu. down Eng
land and liberty 10 Europe, and that the
government dockeards nre alive with as
many men as can get around The ships,
getting them ready for sea-
