Our readers may ask who is the Duchess Of Suth-
erand =? She is handsome woman, and is in toer-
able preservation, at the age of fifty. She has been
grandmother several years-having married off her
daughters, all of them handsome and healthy ear
ly ages. She was Mistress of the Robes to Queen
Victoria for several years. and is her personal friend
The Duke of Sutherland is nearly twenty years her
senior-a tall, thin, silent man, with light hair and
sandy whiskers, and much different from his younger
brother, the Earl of Eesmere, who is darkroom
plexioned and well-looking, you may Judge by
glancing at print of Landseer's" Hawking Party"
in which the Earl is the prominent male figure. The
Duchess Of Sutherland is one of the Earl of Car
isles sisters. He visited the United States ten or
twelve years ago, when he Lord Morpeih. 1t
is very odd that he, and all the male members of his
family, should be extremely plain in features, while
the females have been noted for their beauty. Earl

The FALL AN EMPIRE. The Chinese Empire
which according to its historians, dates so far
back that it might we'll have had beginning at
all, seems to be in a very precarious situation.
The sacred and celestial Emperor the brother of the
Sun and Moon, is now cursed with of sui lects
who little nothing for himself for his high
sounding titles. There be contagion in modern
progress The Chinaman never could have invenied
the idea of revolution. He have caught it from
some American European. He is the last man in
the world, who would be suspected of disposition
to indulge in any such exctements; but now that
he has begun, he determined to carry the af-
fair through in good earnest. Our readers are al
ready informed that Nankn has fallen in the hands of
the rebels. They also threaten Shanghai with force
of fifty thousand men. The general impression is
that the Emperor must abandon his throne He has
just lost krozing, his Commander in Chief and has
exposed his weakness, by issuing proclamation
calling the people for help. He has legaIzed the
opium trade at moderate duty, and newspaper mis-
named the Friend of China,'' hints that if England
or America will help to keep him on his throne, a
hard bargain can be drawn with him in regard to the
opium or any other trade. This looks like great
bride, but it will scarcely be accepted.
If this rebellion should finally triumph and that
it will seems almost certain the old exclusive policy
will besabandoned and China will take her place
with other civilized nations. The effects of such a
change the commerce OF the world is incaIcuIable

FAST EATING. writer in a late number Of the
chronological Journal, upon the application of Epi-
curean Philosophy, concludes follows:
Sometimes when l men boiling down their
food in such hot haste, feel like exclaming, what
pity, that man, who ought to be the wsest of God
creatures, should violate every dictate OF wisdom and
organic law, and poison his system by suffering,

MODEL RAILROAD. The Concord Railroad, Sc
miles long, has been in operation ten years. In
thai time no passenger has been killed or seriously
injured upon it. Six large passenger and four i'm
mense freight trains pass over it daily Most of the
employees meaning servants have been connected
with it from the commencement. They not only
know their duty, but take care to perform it. The

BRYANT AND LoEGFELLow. In a late number OF
the Revue des Deur MOndes M. Ampere continues his
American Promenade,'' having returned from Gin
cin4ai to New York by the Erie Railroad. We
translate of his rapid sketches of men and things
in this city. He says:
Mr.. Bryant is the Democratic poet, and the poet
of New York, as Mr.. LongfeIIew is the Wing poet
and the poet of Boston. Each of them has his en-
thusiastic parlisans, who are sometimes unjust to-
W ard the rival of their favorie. l shall endeavor
TO avoid these prepossessons and to remain impartla
Like Longfelow, Bryant is an English poet, born In
America. should say that, in regard to poetic form,
Longfe is the more European, and Bryant the
more English. The first has received the imprint of
all the literatures of Europe, and especially Of the
German literatue. The other is more exclusively
under the influence of the English literature. He
has that kind of originality which gives his rival
familiarity with the most different classes of poetry.
Mr.. Bryant, although he has translated poems from
the Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German, has
before mis- eyes only the models of the mother coun-
try. II would seem as if he had wished to vie with
the contemporary poets of England, and to take his
place among them as an American poet In his poem
of The ages, he has employed the old Spenseran
stanza, as reproduced by Byron in Childe Harold;
but if compared with Longellow, Bryant is the more
exclusively English in form, he is perhaps the most
American in substance.
He often treats of national and patriotic themes.
y l met with Mr.. Long fellow and Mr..
Bryant under very different circumstances Longfel-
low received me with graceful hospitality, in an
elegant abode in the midst of works of and souve-
Mrs of every country. l found Mr.. Bryant in the

The Career Of Gen. Hinton, the

the career Of Gen. Hinton, noted mail rob-

"The public will doubtless recollect the

The Conauerer's Grave.

The eyes. of William the Conquerer were
closed by menials, who, after helping them
selves to his wardrobe, absconded. and aban-
doned his unhuried corpse-as in his lass
hours he was forsaken by his friends and
his family. A peasant took pity on the
dead body of the king, and caused it to be
conveyed % Caen for burial. AS the bear.

scattered the procession, such as It was. is
seemed as if even this last miserable honor
was to be interdicted by Destiny. Worse

Having reached the church at last, the form
of funeral eiogae was got through, with
as much Show Of ceremony as circumstan-
ces permitted; ba! when the bishop called
upon the people TO pray for the soul OF the
deceased, citizen sprang up and vehsm mt
,ly protested against the Interinent. His
fathers house had stood upon that spot.
and had been illegally seized by William.
and its inmates driven out into the street.
For this wrong the citizen demanded resto-
ration Of the ground us the property Of his
family, and refused TO let the rites pro-
eeed
The justice ofthe demand was seconded
by the unanimous voice of the people; and
the priests, after vainIy demonstrating a.
gaiEst the interruption, were compelled to
compromise the matter, by purchasing from
the citizen the little space Of earth in which
the remains of monarch were about to be
deposited. The burial service was suspen-
ded while the price Of she kings grave was
debated and paid over in the nave Of the
church. This obstruction removed, all was

Another Natural Br. dgc.

We presume most of our readers are aware
that Professor Tuomey describes in his ge-
ological report4a natural bridge in Blount
county, Alabama, which possesses features
of grandure and picturesqueness equal tc
the famous natural bridge Of Virginia. 2
We have just been favored with a com.
munIcation from Marion county. in this
State, describing still another "naturaj
bridge" near the residence Of an old ac-
quaintance, Daniel Stanford, Of that region,
which the writer asserts s one Of the great
est natural courosi:ies now on the earth"
We give the subtsnce Of the description:
ut is ninety feet long, sixty feet. high,
from six to twelve wide, and from one and
half to four feet thick--having an arch at
each end that cannot be surpassed by art
This bridge is thrown across deep chasm,
both sides of which are perpendicular rock
extending up sixtyfeet from a dry bottom
mo water below the bridge. Tall trees
grow under it, amid whose branches the
adven urer viii find himselfin passing over
the bridge, and it may be cossed with per
| feot safety"

of nature as very sublime, and the natura
scenery around it is beautiful and grant,
