American Influence In Europe.

A European lettcrwriter states that
1t is believed by many capable of judg-
ing, that had an engagement taken place
at SMYRNA between the So. Louis and
the Austrian war vessels by which Car
tain INGRAIrA,l was surrounded it would
have beon followed by rising of the
people of Hungary and Italy. If this
be true, it shows not only how a small
fan would throw Europe in blaze, but
what influence the United States exerts
over the destinies of the Old World.
A correspondent of the New ork
TINES, believed 10 be KossurH himself
writes to that paper as follows
"The people of Smyrna witnessed with
the liveliest enthusiasm these proceed
ings They went on for hours to cheer
America, and to shout VIrc IL Repu6-
Aquc p Thanks have been voted to
Captain INGEAHAM and to the United
States Consul at Smyrna, and compli-
mcntary address to President PIERCE,
directly expressing the gratitude of the
people of Smyrna for seeing the honor
of their port so nobly vindicated, and the
rights of humanity to generously pro
tectcd by republican America"
Again, says the same writer
Minister MARSH, having returned, ON
July 9, from Athens to Constantinople,
the nation ofpolitical refugees, brought
brilliant serenadc to the American le-
cation. Secretary BEowN appeared on
the balcony to acknowledge the compli-
ment of the endless cheers and created
a fanatic enthusiasm by shooting out the
words Tire eFindepcWiencc de III HH',-
garc! Firc Findpcnieace dc Ia H.

"Oh, heavenly balm of consolation

These extracts sufficiently exhibit the
state of feeling in some part of Europe,
and the light in which the conduct of
Capt IvGGAnAM is viewed They show,
too, how much power the United States
may exert, indirectly though it be, upon
the course OF events among the oppress
ed nations. This KoszTA was not an
American citizen-he had only declared
his intention to become such Yet this
circumstance was sufficient to secure the
intcrpostion Of the American authori-

Gossip from Haydon's Diary.

Let no one hereafter say, that Dos
wells "Life of johnson" is the only
good biography in the English language.
There is now second, namely, the Life
of Haydon," the English painter, a work
which is justly styled by the Leader,
the saddest, yet most inspiriting and
intensely interesting book that has ap.
peared for long while" 1t fulflls the
two conditions of biographical literature
perfectly ; inasmuch as it is a minute
and accurate picture of the man, and of
the time in which he lived, as it was seen
by. and as it influenced him. The great
cr part of the work is simply the diary
kept by Hayden a diary with frank.
ness, dash, an abandon, quite uncxam.
pied and abounding in the most deli
cious gossip concerning celebrities of ev-
cry kind and every grade. The work is
not yet republished in this country, and
therefore we do not hesitate to select a
few brief passages from its tempting pa
ges.

On December 2sth, the immortal din
ner came off in my painting room, with
Jerusalem towering up behind us as a
background. Wordsworth was in fine
cue, and we had a glorious set-to-on
Homer, Shakespeare, Milton, and Virgil.
Lamb got exceedingly merry, and ex-
quisitely witty and his fun in the midst
of Wordsworth's solemn intonations of
oratory, was like the sarcasm and wit of
the fool in the intervals of Lear's pas,

made a speech and voted me absent, and
made them drink my health. Now,
said Lamb, you old lake poet, you ras-

We all defended Wordsworth, and al
frmed there was state Of mind when
Voltaire would be dull. Well, said
Lamb, here's Voltaire-the Messiah Of
the French nation, and very proper one

My own Statement.

(Concludcd)
Time passed on. l was thirty five
years of age. 1t was proper | should
marry. Moreover, | had seen young
lady who pleased me- l did not fall in
lovc,f | never fell into any thing; but I
fancied the girl. and was content to risk
with her that portion of my happiness
which might be dependent upon a wo-
man. Her father was rich, Of curse, or
! should not have looked at her twice.
llo was a merchant with whom l had
dealings. | purposely came in contact
with him so often in business way that
he invited me to his house. / dined with
him. Although Sarah was polite, she
did not seem TO be pleased with me. Af-
ter this, went frequently to the house.
and at different times solicited her COM
pany to places of public resort, but these
invitations she never accepted. She was
indifferent, certainly, but | entertained
so good an opinion of myself. that
thought could win queen if l chose.
My liking for her increased the more !
was in her society. Had my nature been
ardent, | should have been deeply in
love, but | never allowed my passions to
get the better Of my reason.
My business increased, and l was al
ready worth a handsome property. My
position in the world made me almost
sure of success. Every thing prospered
with me, and at every turn mado mon
ey. The time was come when | thought
it proper to bring affairs with Miss Sa-
rah to happy termination. OF her fa-
ther ! was sure. Devoted to the acqui-
sition of money himself, he saw that
was one created to be rich. l mention
ed my intentions to him only to receive
his assent. Clasping me joyfully by the
hand, he told me to consider the matter
as settled so from his counting-room

Miss Sarah Immediately, l asked the
servant if she were at home. The man
appeared embarrassed, and stammerod
Yes Feeling l had right now to en-.
ter the house, | walked into the parlor,
where there was rather an odd perfor-
nance in progress. Seated on a couch,
with a happy, beaming face, was Sarah,
while over her was bending a gentleman
kissing her fair hand as | entered. They
both started and blushed as they beheld
me. The gentleman was my brother
Tom
why, joshua said he, with the old,
good-humored smile upon his oounten-
ance, / was not aware that you neglec-
ted business SO early in the day to call
on the ladies' ..
Sometimes, Tom, answered I, coldly,
such things come in the way of business
is it me, then, whom you wish to see2'
said Sarah, with symptoms of agitation.
1T is indeed, Miss, replied | 'and as
it is about matter exclusively our own,
| shall be pardoned if request brother
Tom to leave us, Notwithstanding the
pleasant time he seemed to be having of
1t when | so unexpectedly broke in upon
you
An angry flush lighted up Toms face,
and an indignant glance came even from

demonstrate with a prominent publisher
respecting the character of the books
which hc issued. Bulwer's novels, II L
remember rightly, were the special OBJ

biblipole, who was at first taken aback
by tile vivacity of their assault, put in as
a plea IN mitigation that the greater por-
tion of his publications were unexcep-
tionablc to even the severest criticism
on the score Of moral character The
