These volumes close the series Of De Qun-
cey's writings which these enterprising Ameri-
can publishers Tcknor, Reed, & Fields, have
presented to the Public in remarkably neat
and convenient form.
The Westminster Repie0 for April, in the
course OF an excellent article on this remarka-
bic writer, pays deserved compliment to the
literary discernment of our publishers and read
ing public Even Sydney Smith, now, it re-
marks, would be fain to admit that among the
many tests Of the permanent merit of an English
work, none perhaps. is soundor than the judg.
ment Of An American public. "Carlyle," it
says, was recognised in America long before
England had perceived his genius and his
strength ~ lit was America that first collected
and reprinted the admirable Miscelanies Of
James Martineau; and it was America who
first repuDiisneu the vaYrant arucies oi tnc

After all, then, it is admitted that "pirates,'
tho publishers of this country, have done some
service to English authors.

The livelong day, this summer weather,
Chased by the zephyr feet.
The light and the shadow go together
Over the browning wheat
And after the staring daytime closes,
Passiorless white, and high
The moon peeps into tho elvish roses,
Out Of her native sky.
Under the hill where the sun shines DINNER,
Shrunk from the eager beam,
The brook goes on, with ftir, glim'ner,
And music for a dream.
Over the groves and moistened meadows
The steady gray hawks wing,
And down below in the shifting shadows,
The merry small birds sing.
My tired foot, from tho bread sun going,
Presseth tho curling moss,
Andmy eye doth SOC, mid tho groom leaves showing
The fair clouds fit across.
Give mo bed with brook. fa, nigh mo,
Pattering,lew and sweet;
And glimpse of the Dryads glaucng by me,
With white unbuskincd feet.
Give me brown-loavcd volume olden,
Quaint with its antique dream,
Loading the full-aowered tances golden,
Back in swelling stream.
And vision Of ancient groves md meadows
Whore Hyacinthus mods;
And fairly CLEAN through the mythic shadows
White temples of the gods
Then shall the sky, with its deep blue glory,
Telling of Heavenly Cline
Mistily blend with the gentle sto.y,
Draperied in the rhyme.
SO shall a ray of sunshine brighten
LIES ever. tiresome sleeps,
And purcr starlight come to tighten

THE REFUSAL TO SELL BURNS.

Mr.. H. w. Allen, OF Louisiana, says that
Col Suttles refusal to sell Burns was IN conse-
quence Of an existing law in Massachusetts,
which provides that any person selling slave
in Massachusetts, IL liable to fine and impris-
0nment The volume containing this law Mr..
Allen carried to Col Suttle, and reminded him
that he ives already under arrest for kidnap-
ping, and IL he sold Burns he certainly would
be held answerablc under the law forbidding
such an act; npon this he positively declined
selling Burns in Massachusetts. Therefore,
his refusal to sell Burns was in consequence Of
the iato of Massachusetts,. Mr.. Hallett the u.
\ District Attorney, was in no manner rcspon-
sible for the failure Of the SALE The sale it 10
said, will yet be contaminated, party having
left Boston with authority and the money to
make the purchase p baltimore A'nerican.
This is all as ridiculous as it is dishonest.
Col. Suttle was prevented from selling Burns
by these who wished q complete triumph Of
the slave power in Massachusetts, even though
Mr.. Allen was called upon, we suppose as
one skilled in such matters, to determine the
value of the body and soul of a human being.
He rated that price at twelve hundred dollars,
which il moro than crippled negroes usually
sell for But then, it is said, he showed Col.
Suttle.a law forbidding the buying or selling
Of human being in Massachusetts. We are
sure this is an after thought; and yet it is Of
no value. He showed COL Snttle no law for
bidding the nanumission Of a slave in Massn-
chusetta, and no law against a division Of the
pecuniary sacrifice required among several
parties
The thing is too absurd for argument; and
yet Slavery depends for excuse and support, at
every step, upon such absurdities

THE FUGITIVE BURNS AND HIS MASTER AT

The Alexandria Gazette, Of yesterday, says
"Col. c. F. Suttlc has arrived home. He
thinks, that although the Boston public are OPP
posed 10 the Fugitive SLAVE Lato, a majority Of
the respectable inhabitants of that city were in
favor OF sustaining the laws Of their country,
and opposed to the mobs and Violence exhib-
tied. Anthony was much rejoiced to 81 oape
from the killing kindness of his dear friends,
into whose arms he had unfortunately thrown
himself and will doubtless, hereafter, be a
WISER and we hope a better man.
If Col Suttle or the editor Of the Gazette was
about purchasing lot Of ground from mar
red man, he would require the wife Of that
man-though the most intelligent and inde-
pendent woman in the land--to be interroga-
tod, apart from her husband, in order that her
real, uncontrolled wishes might DO a -certained ;

letters patent. Those millcrs who have exam
ined the machine acknowledge its merit, and
no one can doubt its introduction into immedi-
ate use. Any practical miller can dress pair
OF burr-stones in half tho time which is ordi-
narily required to do it in tho usual method
and it will be better done. The machine makes
clear clean, thread-like mark, and does not
break the face Of the stone IL can be control
led mt the will Of the operator---and no can
make the mo delicate lick and one giving the
force Of ten pounds, if required. The machine
will last for twenty years; and any one who
has experience enough in milling to know what
is required to sharpen the face Of stone for
grinding, can soon learn 10 do good Job with
H. Other advantages are claimed for tho ma.
chine, but these are enough to bring IL into
