Had he not become bad king, he might have
made good inquisitor. Raised from the con-
fessional to the throne, his new dignity sat
awkwardly upon him; he tempted fate for six
years, and when folly, obstinacy, and tyranny
had wrought their own cure, he embraced once
more, with creditable equanimity. the calling
for which nature had designed him. and died in
sackcloth at Edinburgh. On Louis Philippe.
the trials Of his youth produced beneficial re-
suits. He proved himself good soldier, a
sound counsellor, and even successful school
master A convenient forgetfulness Of princi-
pie crowned him the ''citizen king" and for
eighteen years he enjoyed peace, prosperity,
and the general esteem of the world. These
could but delay the fatal blow; his time came,
and his last hours were passed in poverty at
Claremont. Half Of the career Of Napoleon ILL.,

tumely; he is now on the pinnacle of greatness.

when will q suit be brought, in the name Of the

The Judges, on recent occasion, were very
prompt in maintaining their own dignity, and
indicating the laws against refractory Alder

taste of the same sauce, which is just as good
for them as for smaller fry. An unfortunate

Astounding Statement.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
What does Mr. Greeley mean by making such in
situations against the poor single men, Of this city,
as is contained in yesterdays Tribune. He says-
Unhappily however, the poor single who receives
ten dollars and per week. ard ought to at least
half of it, too generally squauders liquors and segars
balls theatres gaming &C., the whole Of his surplus
earnings, and finds himself at thirty without dollar
ahead and with gro,cing family to support so that he
do nothing TO aid his less fortunate and less capable
brethren. II we could only surmount this difficulty we
think the residue might be soon conquered
Now, Mr.. Editor, think you ought to say word
in defence of the personal morals of our young
men. No doubt many of them have some Z wild
oats to SOW previous to arriving at the sedate and
pous age OF thirty; but to say that it is generally the
case that the poor single men of New York have d
growing family to support at the age of thirty il
rather Sfrdchcr, even for the Tribune. DO tell
Greeley that the statistics of egitimacy will not
bear him out in such IN assertion. Yours, trnly,

lecture of Rev. Theodore Parker, on "the
Anglo-Saxons-their origin and influence" 1t
is scarcely necessary to say that what comes
from this gentleman on certain subjects, ought
to be received cum grano salis-with little
salt to qualify it, Like all anti-slavery zealots,
he takes particular pains to blacken the charac
ter Of his country. He describes the English
as a race Of freebooters, who conquer, rob, ex-
terminate, and Cypress other races in the most
scientific manner. In this he is not far mis-
taken, as India and Ireland can testify. But
when he places the people of this country in the
same category with the British in regard to
marauding and plundering propensities, and
when he talks of worse condition of any por-
tion Of our population, black or white. than
that which characteristics ST. CHESS in London.
he does the institutions of the United States
gross injustice.
The lot Of the negroes of the South is enyia-
bic compared with that Of millions OF the people
Of England. And as to the fighting, fillbus-
tering and cupidity which he ascrbes to the
American people, he does not fairly state the
case. When John Bull adds to his territory,
lie makes serfs and tributaries of the inhabi-
tants, and does not admit them to the rights
and liberties of British subjects. To be
conquered by the British, is therefore terrible
calamity. 1t is just the reverse with Ameri
cans. When they subdue, it is not to plumber
and bring under the yoke 1t is to extend to
the conquered the same equal laws and the
same blessings Of republican freedom enjoyed
by themselves Texas has her place in the Union
on the same footing with the oldest State, and
her condition is vastly improved since she
ceased to belong to Mexico. If Cuba were ac-
quired tomorrow, either peacefully or by the
sword she would be received into the Union on
the same terms as Texas or California-her
people would become redeemed, regenerated
and Disseminated by the genius of our institu-
tons; their condition would be elevated, and
they would forever bless the day that the Lone
Star was numbered with the galaxy Of the
United States. But how different is the case
with the conquests or John Bull The vanGuish-
ed are degraded and oppressed for the
support Of the most expensive government in
the world; and if they complain or resist, their
burthens are aggravated, and in place of whips,
they are "chastised with scorpions"
Instead, therefore, Of Brother Jonathan hoping
10 lie, one day, as respectable as John Bull we
rather think the balance for respectability lies
at this side OF The Atlantic, and the reverend
lecturer would think so too il lie did not look
through pair Of abolition spectacle.

MAGNIFICENT MEASURE OF CITY IMPROVE
MENr.-A plan has been recently proposed
which, if carried out, will prove to be the most
beneficial Of allthe schemes introduced, Of late
years, for the remedy Of the real or supposed
evils, physically speaking, of New York This
plan consists in the extension of the Bowery
and Sixth avenue to the Battery. The Bowery
is to extend from somewhere near Walker street
into Pearl, and to be Of the width of one hun
dred feet to its terminus; and Sixth avenue is
to be extended to the intersection of Greenwich
street, by which it is to be continued, one hun
dred feet wide, to the Battery. Maps and speci-
fications Of the proposed extension have been
prepared and are open to public inspection,
at No. 8 James street.
The originators Of this grand proposition Of
city improvement have not resorted to the
same questionable means of having the project
realized, which have been hitherto pursued in
most similar matters. They have got up Pc
tition to the State Legislature, which is now in
the course of signature throughout the metro
polls for the passage of a law appointing COM
missioners of estimate and assessment for this
matter. and providing that the subject be submit
ted to the electors of the city and county ofNew
York, at the next annual election and in case
of majority of votes in favor of the proposed
improvements, then the law to take effect i'm
mediately thereafter. The one half of the cost
is to be betrayed by the city, and the other as
sessed on individual property.
There is no question Of the beneficial impor-
lance which the accomplishment of such a mea-
sure would have upon the business appearance.
and health Of this metropolis. At present, the
two great thoroughfares sought to be extended
are only open from point which is almost be-
yond the business limits of the town; but were
they opened, as it is proposed they shall be,
then, with Broadway, they would form triple
arterial communication from end to end Of the
city, in the benefits of which the east, west, and
central localities, would alike participate. As
it is, Broadway is forced to do the work and
centralize the traffic and business which ought
to be thus equitably distributed among the
other avenues; and as schemes for the relief of
Broadway have been recently engaging the at
tention Of philosophers and spectators, we
think that the sovereign remedy has at last been
found in the proposed plan. which will effect
ually rid it Of the affection it now suffers from
plethora. Let those who coincide with US in
this opinion sign the petition now circulating.
and support the measures to be taken to pro-
mote its success.
