LADY EMMA HAMILToN's "TARANTALLA.''-
What strange fascinating creature was Nelson's
| Lady Hamilton And what wilful, wonderful
| old oddity her husband was When near 10 years
of aye, he got up from his seat night TO capcr
| the Italian "taranialla' with Lady Emma. The
occasion Of this viracty was the announcement
of Nelson's brave G. ings against the batteries of
Copenhagen, in 1901, written to herself with his
left hand. a large and gay company Were present
at Sir Williams house i'll Piccadilly; the Dukes of
Gordon and Queeupury, Lord William Gordon, the
| Frenchman Calonnc; the Duke de NOla, noble
Neapolitan; John Philip kemble, the tragetilan,
and his wife; the Rev. Mr.. Nelson, (the shabby
brother of the hero, who, at this time, not alone
countenanced, but atlulated Lady Hamilton, and,
| on the death of the Admiral and his accession
10 the title, left her 10 contuiney and starvatlon)
Sir N. Wraxall and others. They Were all i'll high
spirits. Lady Hamilton played on the harpschord
divncy, and then, moved by the music, spTang
up TO 20 through the "taIantalla." Taking Sir
William by the hand, of they set, and the old Dip
lonatiSt did his best, but was soon forced to give
in. Then the Duke de Noa, forty years younger
man, took his place, and, after plunging about
bravely for some minutes, sat down cNhausted.-
Her ladyshipsent for her own mad whom she also
tired ont; and then got up Coptic servant, brot
TO her from Egypt by Nelson, Lady Emma danced
like Tcrpschore, SO strongly thrilled and inspired
was she by the glory of the onc-eyed and crippled
hero with whose name her own is inseparably en-
twlned. Her attitudes, looks, moyements-thc
passionate Corybanion grace of the whole scene
all were inimitaplc! Kcmblc must have feltwhat
| a magnificent actress she would have made-a-
most Siddons, though Lady Emma had certainly
none of Mrs. Jordan in her nature. No wonder
such woman shouid have fascinated the supctan
nuated old beau, Sir William. Still less that she
should have infatuated the sailors heart OF the
enthusiastic Nelson!

nritish Adroener Of pierce.

We observe that some OF the Democratic prints
trying To weaken the force of the fact that the
"British press favors openly the election ofPierce,"
byaSsertins that the Derby ministry Tory is the
tariff interest of England. This is true; but how
does it work. The Tory party of England have
always been the advocates of the British, but not
the American, tariff. That party, in England, is
the party which advocates the repeal of the late
corn-law policy, which reduccd the English duty
on our bread stuff, while,bat the same lime, the
Tory party OF England IlotorouSly iuyors re;luc
ton Of American duties, in order that the English
manufactures may underSell and crush our home
products i'll OUR own market. This is the PLAIN
statement OF the case there. The British Tories
favor and advocate the election of Pierce, because
they thereby open a market for their pauper pro-
ducts andarc enabled 10 crush the labor and enter
prise or citizens, while, nj the same time, they
are endeavoring at home 10 prevent our trade IN

advocate discrimination in Juror Of imerican labor,
or the Democratic party who advocate the prInci-
pie WHICH allows British goods 10 stand upon near
ly the same footing with our own products, while
the British tariff almost drives us from the English
market? Decide this question before you vote.

the communication of Lieut.. Maury to the New
Orleans improvement Convention, relative to this
magnificent valley. fully opened up and cult
waited, itwould be capable of supporting a popula-
ton of one hundred millions of souls. Ii is in ma
ny, far richer country than India, China, Japan,
Ceylon, Borneo, or any of the East India Islands.
Lieut.. Murray proposed that an attempt should be
made TO obtain the free navigation of the mighty
river of which the country under consideration, is
the valley, and which is five thousand miles long,
and one hundred and fifty miles wide at the mouth
with innumerable tributaries. 1t passes through
several States, the principal of which are Brazil
and Columbia. Certainly nothing could be more
advantageous, especially to the South, than such
treaty, for this is country peculiarly adapted to
slave labor. The mouth Of the Amazon lies direct
ly under the equator. ,,i'5 IS ,-ae ....s7raa5
There seems to be hope that the views of 1t.
NJ. may be carried OUT for we perceive by par
agraph in the New York Times, the American Min
lister to Brazil has already opened a negotiation on
the subject of the free navigation ofthe Brazilian
rivers, and that he has been most cordially receiv
ed. The other nations, doubtless, will be brought
over, and in few years expect to hear that the
Amazon and its Thousand tributares--all of them

Physical Geography.

There are few subjects which exhibit benefcent
design in more impressive form than that which
unfolds the adaptation of the physical structure OF
the earth to the wants ofman. The mountains,
plains and valleys, the harmonyo of colourng, and
all that appertans tothe beauty of struchre speak
to the eye and reqnire ITO aid from science 10 I'M
press the imagination. The fertility of the soil
supplies the necessaries of life and calls for nc
acknowledgement and praise. The stores of miner
al wealth. formed for ages in advance, TO be call
ed forth in due season in the support oil industry,
the Developments of art and the progress OF civ-
cation, are essential TO all the movements OF the
machinery of society," that the wisdom which null
ed their formation, and prepared these treasures,
could scarcely fail to inspire the tribute of admira
ltion. ..tFt ( W
Bit the great features of the physical formation
of tile earth; the distribution OF hills aud mountain
ranges on which clouds may break and condensc
into Tain the arrangement of the gentle plains that
spread out from the bases of each hill and noun
tain, until they ntersec other plains, which spread
out from other hills and other mountains, and form
channels at their intersection, for the drainage of
the surplus water shed from the adjacent slopes;
the adoption of these valleys by happy combina-
ton Of the dip towards the ocean, tie area DRAIN

ton, and the wants OF commerce., and the convc-
nicnce of cultivated man;-thcsc are the studies of

When, in former age, it was proposed in Spain
to unite two rivers by n navlgabe canal, a commits
sion Of the lnquisiton decided against the project,
the broad gound that, if it had been the will of
God those rivers should be united, they would have
been joined in their creation The decision was in
conformity with the spirit the age and the pco-
Pile, and was, doubtless, dictated by honest views

gift from God to the beings of his creation and to
be used, explored, studied and improved.

gifts But it does not follow because they sup
piled in abundance, they were intended forever TO
be wasted. 1t is more i'll unison with what is
known of the original design, TO conclude that the
apparent excess was intended for many useful plr
poses to be collected for the benefit of the parched
earth; for the power it affords; for the transpoIta
ton of the products which it serves to increase and
prepare and not for to burst, periodically, in

The Western Tablet, the organ OF Catholicism
in this diocese (Chicago), administers deserved
rebukc 10 the rcvilcrs OF Gen. Scott. Coming from
a paper which is neutral in politics, though con-
dnct.d by Democrat, it is the more f0rciblc.

of the odious test in New Hampshire, the editor
says: .4r,.s.ss4 ..r-.--.lat 81. -..--.. f a..
"Bmt, although we vindicate Franklin Pierce
against unjust atthcks Of the Wings, we would
warn all Democrats from joining in the ISLANDERS

selves, we have nothing to say against him; on the
contrary, we respect and honor him, and verify
