TspKACsMHYrs IN History. - The
power Of impeachment became, in the
hands of the popular party led by Pym

power, and they used it without mercy.
On the 11th of November, l640, the
House Of Commons debated with closed
doors, and when these were opened
msiority of the members, with Pym at
their head, proceeded TO the bar Of the
Lords and impesched Strafford, the most
obnoxious of the roysl ministers OF high
treason. The trial took place in West
minister Hall the following March. Next
to the trial of Warren Hastings 1t was
probably the most remarkable impeach-
ment case in English history. The Com
mons sat on elevated benches on each
side of the Lords. The King and Queen
occupied private boxes behind the
throne, hoping vainly thst their pres
euge would act as check upon the for
wardness Of the witnesses and the vio'
lence OF the managers. A gallery was
erected for lsdies, who paid high prices
for admission. The trial lasted thirteen
days. The spectators used TO come as
early as 5 O'Clock in the moruing.-by

rhe Levees of the Mississippi

The recent numerous breaches in the
leyees on the Mississippi River, which
assures the devastation OF the richest
norton OF southwestern Louisiana, and
The giving way Of the grand levee of the
Morgan sea, alone overhowing seven par
ishes, is attracting public attention.
This was one of the largest works Of its
kind in the world, and had been but re-
Gently completed. The work mas been
commenced on the Roman Crevasse fifty
ak miles above New Orleans, with 4
hope of closing it. These breaks will
cause great suffering among the poorer
classes OF whites, aud throw thousands
of freedmen upon the resources provid-
ed by the government daring the coming
season.
This subject attracted the attention OF
Congress just before the adjournment,
by the adoption of a joint resolution di-
rectiug the Secretary OF War to detail a
competent officer or officers Of the engi-
ueer corps to make an examination Of
the condition of the levees OF the Mis-
aissippi River, and report plan for
their rebuilding and improvement from
the mouth of the Ohio river to the Gulf
Of Mexico, with estimates of the cost.
These levees, as now constructed, have
been built without any plan or system,
aud the object Of the government is to
have q survey Of the river, and careful
observations made in regard to it, as
there is no way of constructing them
70 as to make the levee principle sue
ccssful by becoming acquainted with
the currents of the Mississippi River,
and long and careful series Of observa-
tious is necessary before that can be full
ly ascertained. THIS cannot be done by
any particular State, as it has only au-
thOrity to examine within the limits of
that State. Such observations made in
a portion Of the river will not enable a
successful leveeiDg of the stream. If it
is put under the care of the National
Government, to make the survey ofathe
stream, In the course OF time the whole
would be reduced to q system, and the
dams that govern these currents can be
ascertained, and the levee system made
successful.
In most of the Southern States large
amounts OF public lands have been Civ
en- to the several States for the purpose
Of constructing levees, but they have
been Of comparatively little value be-
cause they were conducted by men uu-
acquainted with the whole system. This
is a great and important subject and to
some extent 8 national work. The val
ley of the Mississippi River includes
more rich territory than any other
stream in the United States. In a de-
gree it holds in it the power almost OF
the country at the present time. More
or less Of it will become fertile and cul-
tivated if a proper system of construct
ing the levees is adopted. A few years
observations made at comparatively lit.
Tie cost will enable all the States inter
tsted to levee the river with entire sue
cess, which will far more than indem.
lily them by the success which will be
attained in the cultivation Of the rich
ields on that stream.

THE NEW YORK SUNDAY NEWS.

Our old friend, the New York Daily Nrtcs,
has assumed the proportions Of u large and re-
spectacle hebdomadal under the above name.
Its columns give evidence Of talent, care and
enterprise, and present as fine repast OF
reading matter-literary, political and miscel-
lancous-as any weekly journal issued in the
country. Mr.. BENJAMIN Woop the Editor and
Proprietor, has had the rare good fortune of
engaging two of the greatest living writer's OF
Europe to contribute to his columns, as will be
seen from the following paragraph, which we
clip from the last issue, (for May 5th.)
s'We have not deemed it necessary to speak much
about the progress and popularity Of the Sunday
Neus. That was matter Of town talk, and our
success was best exhibited in the fact that the
Sunday Ne,cs is found everywhere. But we can
rot refrain from sympathising with our slower
cotemporaries, who worry themselves in the effort
to understand ,oty it is that the Sunday Ne,os
takes as it does, when we refer our readers to the
announcement in our columns to-day that CHARLES
DICKENS is among our contributors, and that VICTOR
HUGO will soon place himself next to his distln-
guished fellow-author in the same category.
CHARLES DICKENS and VICTOR HUGO are enough

not fai to appreciate the true enterprise that has
secured, against all competition, such as these
