SERGEANT AMBLER. I'VE understand that
Sergeant Amber is meeting with very fatter-
ing success in the sale of his autobiography,
having secured the subscriptions of large num-
bers of our prominent citizens. His quaint
language, simple and direct, filled with the
idiomatic expressions peculiar to his nation and
class, and his graphic account of his struggle
with and victory over an inordinate appetite
for strong drink, with the details Of his connec-
ton with the British army and afterwards
with ours make the volume very interesting
and readable. The Sergeant is man of fine,
erect, solderly bearing, and his proficiency in
fencing, boxing and general military accom-
plishments gives peculiar grace and precision
to his movements. Besides being an author
the sergeant is an orator, and delivers addresses
on many topics in all the places visited by him.
