Death of Lord NIacauIey.

Among the announcements contained in the news by
the last steamer from Europe is the death of the ceebra
ted essayst historian and poet T. Darlington Macauley
not long since called to the House of Lords Baron
Macauley, a compliment never before bestowed upon
literary in England.
Lord Macauey was engaged, previous to his death,
upon the great work of his ehis history of England,
but less fortunate than his amented contemporary Wash
ington Irving he did not live to complete it, Irving
did his life of Washington.
Lord Macauley was one of those brilliant writers,
whose unbounded learning, fertility Of language, and
aptness of illustration gave to his reviews of works. a
value above that attaching to the works Themselves
We remember the sensation created by his article on the
trial of Warren Hastings 1t perfect gallery Of
pictures and now, when of tastes have
somewhat changed and We have less admiration for
fine writing than we had at our outset in life
we still admire Macauley's essays almost much as
ever, although we cannot think his style suited for
sustained work like the history Of England
Irving F. DeQuncey, Macauley, the names with which
we have been familiar rapidly passing away, and
yet we do not see how their places are to be filled, bu
we presume that they 1UiH be filled.

An Extra sessiOn.-The Newborn Progress.


The Newbern Progress of Saturday rather excerpts
to some remarks of ours in reference the proposition
to call an extra session of the Legislature We said
that some bitter opponents of the Democracy had in
this connection INDUCED themselves in Sneer at Gov
ernor Ellis being lacking in decision afraid of respon-
sibiity, ETC.
Now, we were not aware that the Progress or its
correspondents had so sneered at Governor Elis-we
did not suppose that to words in the article ex
cepted to- the Progress or its correspondents would be
the first to denounce the Governor if he did call an ex
ira sesson-would be among the first to howl over its
extravaganza and the first to deprecate any action the
Legislature might be disposed to take" Certainly any
persons to whom our language would apply, must be
cassed among the bitter opponents of Democracy II
we are mistaken in supposng that it does not apply to
the Progress its correspondents that paper can Of
course inform us of our error.
For the rest-the Progress will have seen that Gov
ernor Ellis has already expressed himself fully, and we
think satisfactorily upon the subject of extra session
We must say that we agree fully with his Excelency.
