"WHO WAS JUNIUS P"

Thurlow Weed, Esq, Editor of the Albany
Erening Journal thus writes concerning the
identification of Junius;
After Breakfast my oil friend, Mr.. Parkes,
took me to the venerable John Taylor many
years ago Editor OF he "London Recie,c," and
who, in 1916, startled the Literary and Political
World with his "Junius Identiied"-a volume
with such an array of facts and circumstances
as to leave little if any doubt that Sir Philip
Francis was the Great Unknown. The pecui-
arity of Mr. 1aylors Book was, that the evi-
dences which went to prove Sir Philip Francis
the Author of the Junius Letters, at the same
time disproved the claims in favor of the dis
tinguished men Q.ord Chatham, Mr.. Burke,
&c.,) to whom they had been attributed,
While it is difficult to imagine an intelligent,
unbiased mind, after the perusa of Mr. 1aylors
Book, refusing its assent TO the conclusion it
reaches yet such minds did reject the evidences,
and the question was revived in England and
America, with etrnestness and acrimony. Those
who could not answer, contented themselves
with abusing Mr.. Taylor. Among the distin-
gushed writer's who entered the field against
Mr.. Taylor was Mr. Macauley. In America,
several leading newspapers, and two or three
distinguished writers, also took ground against
Mr. Taylor's view of the question. In a most
humble way, but with much earnestness, es-
poused the other side; and l wrote, in "bad
grammar and worse taste," doubt not, several
articles, proving to my own satisfaction, that
Sir Philip Francis, of whom until reading "Ju-
MUS Identified" had never heard, was Junius'
This early interest in the controversy MADE my
intiview with the Author peculiarly interesting
He is 81 years old, and in delicate health but
cheerful and bright. He was colemporary
and friend of Charles Lamb, and like him, is a
Bachelor, living with an old Maiden Sister.

BATAvIA.-Batavia, the capital city of the
island of Java, acc ording TO the description Of
q newspaper correspondent is brilliant speci
men of oriental splendor. The houses, which
are white as snow, are placed two or three hun
dred feet back from the street, the intervening
pace being filed with trees. literally alive with
birds, and every variety of plants and flowers.
Every house has piazza in front decorated
with beautiful pictures, elegant lamps, bird ca
ges, &c, while rocking. chairs, lounges, &C., of
the incest description, furnish luxurious accom-
modations, for the family, who sit here morn
ings and evenings.
At night, the city is one blaze of light from
the lamps. The hotels have grounds of eight
or ten acres in extent around them, covered
with fine shade trees with fountains, Hover
gardens, &c. Indeed so numerous are the trees,
the city almost resembles forest. The rooms
are very high and spacious, without carpets,
and but few curtains. Meals are served up in
about the same style as at first class hotels in
in the United States although the habits of
living are quite different. At daylight, coffee
and tea are taken to the guests room, and
again at eight o'clock with light refreshments.
At twelve breakfast is served, at seven, dinner.
Coffee and tea are always ready, day and night
No business is done in the street in the mid
die of the day, on account of the heat. The
nights and mornings are cool and delightful !
birds are singing all night. The thermometer
stands at about 50 deg. throughout the year.
The island Of Java contains a population of
100000; the city of Batavia 100000. The
island abounds with tigers, leopards, anaeondas,
and poisonous insects of all kinds. The finest
fruits in the world are produced in great pro-
