EMINENT PERSONS ABROAD. nit. THOMAS ntcir.

Asl had not only long been familiar with Dr. l)icir’s works, but had had the pleasure of a correspondence with him for several year-.4, it was purpose to visit him, from the time that fltutbdeterinined to go to Scotland. Accordingly, I went from Edinburgh to Dundee by coach, and was there met b Dr. Dicks son-in-law, who had come, by request of the Doctor, to take me to Bi-oughty Ferry, distant about four miles.

Broughty Ferry is a. small villiage, of very mean appearance, .and I should eup- pose that its chief attraction lay in the fact that Dr. Dick resides there. His dwelling, however, was not immediately in the village, bttt about it quarter ofa mile back of it, on a beautiful eminence, which overlooked Dundee and a large tract of the adjacent country. As we approached the house, Mr. M., his son-in-law, told me that the Doctor was upon the look-oiit for us, and he knew that we were on the way, for be perceived that his window was thrown up; and as we appi-oaclicd the house, he came running out with the activity oh; boy, and gave me one of the moat affectionate greetings I ever had from anybody. He immediately intro- duced me to Mrs. Dick, and she scarcely fell behind her husband in demonstrations of good will. She was the daughter of is celebrated clergyman, Dr. Young of Ha- wick. She had been married to Dr. Dick live or six years, "but had before

married to a Mr. Davidson, 8.

lecturer on Chemistry, who, in consequence of some explosion that took place in connection with some chemical experiment, while he was lecturing in Ire- land, was regarded as an astrologer, and had measured out to him by the ignorance and superstition of the poor Irish, it pretty severe retribution. Mrs. ick herself was mtich engaged in philosophical pursuits, and in her appearance was not unlike Marin Edgworth. She had, two or three years before, attempted to lift i-iontetlting which won an over-tnatclt for her strengtli, and from that titne lind lost the use of one arm altogether.

Doctor Dick's house whs it small, neat building, and the grounds around were laid out and ornamented with exquisite taste. found hiiti in person i-other belowthe tniddle size, though well proportioned, with it face and manner woll becoming it “ Christian philosopher.” He had formerly been a settled minister in the United Secession Church, and had very considerable popu- ltirity asa preacher. He was subsequently for ten years the teacher ol' 9. school at Pesth; butfrom the time he came to Brough- ty Ferry, he had been engaged in nothing but making books and cultivating his grounds; though he occasionally delivered scientific lectures, and tiow and tlteii preach- ed for it. brother minister in the tieigliboiii- hood. I found his coriveration marked by very tnucli the satire characteristics with his books. Though he seemed to be truly evangelical in his views, he dwelt more upon the philosophy of rcligon, and especially the connection ofreligion, with science, than upott those generally admitted truths which we are accustomed to identity with- the life and power ol'Christianity. His heart was in henven—l doubt not in more senses than one—-his telescope and observatory wit- nessed to his love oftlie visible heavens as tritly as his Bible, and his closet could have done to the invisible. I know not that he ever claimed the honour ofany new astro- nomical discoveries; but he certainly de- served the honour of giving additional ut- traction to the discoveries of others, and of renderln them eminently subservient to the interests oftrue religon. He seemed to me to possess, in u. very uncommon degree, the spirit of an enlarged philanthropy; be con- sidered that knowledge was essentially diffu- sive—that no man or body of men have a right to appropriate it exclusively; but that it is a debt which every one owes to the common humanity, that he uhotild extend the circle ofuseful knowledge as far as he can, taking care, at the same time, that diffusion is not at the expense of thorough- ness and accuracy.

Dr. Dick seemed to be quite rich in philosophical apparatus, and in the morning, tiller breakfast, he ainusedutc by taking me upon his observatory, and settin me to look at various objects through both the telescope and the microscope. We walked for a while over his grounds, and then ascended a bill a little way off, from which he pointed out to me the dwellin ol'Thomns Erskine, the author of the word: on Faith, &c., who was, just at that time, as I under- stood, rather a conspicuous follower of Edward Irving. We also walked into the village, and on our way went to an ancient tower, now in ruins, the origin of which lies back beyond all tradition. ,

Having spent the principal part of the day with Dr. Dick, I bade him and his family farewell, sortie time in the afternoon, and took the steamboat for Edinburgh. where I arrived the saute even‘ . It was an exceedingly interesting day to me, and alter

It

the lapse pf sixteen years, Ican bring the_ venerable man and his household before me almost as vividly as ever.

It has been a matter of great regret to Dr. l)i(‘l{'s friends, that after he has con- tribiitwl so largely to the benefit of his generation, and of posterity, he should be subjected, in his old age, to pecuniary st. sits and etnbarrasements. It is not so much philanthropy as simple justice, that should be appealed to for his relief; and ifl am correctly informed, such an appeal has al- ready been made, and not without some suc- cess. I regretted to notice that an appli- cation lately made to the government in his behalf, for it pension, had failed’

Some two years and it half ago, a para- graph went the rounds of our papers, stating that Dr. Dick had closed his mortal career. I owed him it letter at that time, which, of course, I never expected to be able to pay. Indeed, I should have written it letter of condolence to his widow, but that the wife whom I saw was dead, and he had subsequently married another. Ihad thought of him only as prosecuting his noble researches in brighter worlds, when 8. few months ago I was assured by it friend that

1'. Dick was still living, and in the eri_'g)y- merit of his usual health. I wrote im- mediately to inquire if he was really extent, and he answered me at once by it long and agreeable letter, assuring me that he was still a dweller upon the earth, and that his misson did not yet seem to be ttite ac- complished. He cannot be tnttch less than eighty; but his handwriting betrays nothing of the trepiulousness of old age.

THE CHINESE IIEBELLION. THE REPULSE OF THE IMPERIALISTS AT

AMOY.

Sii.ttvcit.u-:, Jl‘LI' l0.—’l'lie pa merit of taxes is everywlit-re resisted, and at 'liangliu.e it was expected I) every one. both natives and foreign- ers, that t ie mandarin of Amoy would make an effort to recover tieir city, which they wanted the courage to defend when they had it, and from which they fled in such terror that they could not litid time to strike it single blow. l-Itery ellort. was made to collect it respectable force for that purpose, and the whole coast of ‘orkcin was visited by junlrs, with inirndttrins in them, in order to brin the hardy race of that province to the scenoo action. According- ly’ on the 28th May, an Imperiitl force, consist- ing of 14 war junks, was seen to approach the harbour of‘.-\inoy. As the do hap oned to be wot, with ii. continuous dribb e an occasional heat’ showers, and us these douglity warriors had oiled to provide tlieinselves with umbrellas U ' stsui-liitn emergency,aecordingtoCbineee fashion, the fighting was put off until the weather should become agreeable and line, and the junks crime to an anchor in the outer liar- bour. The following day (Sunday, 29th) being beautiful and bright, there was not the slight- est excuse for putting off the li ht any lon er, so the jttnks were heard to be a I getting tlieir great clumsy wooden anchors up preparatory to entering the hitvbotir. They it proaclied in fine style with numerottebrilliattt age and pen- nnnts ll 'iiig front their iiiastbcads, gongs bent- in , untl firing ufguus and crackers, which they di with the double object of stiinulating and supporting their own fainting courage, and carrying terror into the hearts of the rebel posecssors of the city. This cflbrt at frighten- ing an enemy is always is favourite plan with the Chinese, and held in great esti- mation by them, inasmuch its by this incans they hope to t: rid of the very unpleasant alternative of litin . This warlike declara- tion and hubbub ha , to it certain extent, the desired effect, for on the approach of the titan- dui-in lltIJIlII’BI, many of the insurgents, struck to the heart with the nic that this formidable up roach created, too to their heels, and were to soon from the decks of the junks. sculling away in numerous boats from the scene of so imminent it danger its that which threatened them. The admiral came bravel on in his war-junks when he saw the excellent elects his ruse,and by way of having its fullest effects, the gouge were mu e to sound more lotidly, the flags blew more merrily out, while crackers, musketry, and big guns all lent their influence to increase the confusion which was thought to prevade the whole rebel camp. This, however, was the cause of the mandarin‘s defeat. For tbey believed from the numbers they saw hur- rying awu that the nic waegenerttl, and landed wit a small body‘ of about 500 men to mount the huge fi-it ents of granitic rocks that are piled up like water-worn boulders all round the city 0 Anioy. The rushed down in a body from this natural fortidcation to attack the northern gate, where they expected no resistance, for on their way they had been told that the usurpere were rushing out of the op- posite one ll-inell, as they themselves had one is few ys before; and that they had only to enter and take scion of their old quar- ters. Instead of t e very easy conquest the Imperialists anticipated, they were met with a most determined resistance. The approach to the northern gate was by a narrow rig-sag lane, leading into an open trian lar space, based by that part of the city wet in which the gate was. The gate was a double one, as is the cuetom in the walled cities of China, there be- ing one in the inner with another in the outer part of the wall, and both opening at rigzrt angles to each other, with a square chant r between them that was open above. and large enough to contain a respectable guard, with a loco of artiller to command each entrance. fore the nasal ts bad time to font in any- thing like order, and as soon as the foremost of them emerged from the lane, under the com- mand of a mandarin who wore a blue button and fenthsr,aad who distinguished Iihsslf by his brsvsry lalsadlsg ltistneit to the stack,

The nur- iowness of the street increased the confusion, for the retreat necessarily became diflicult when those who lied found it crowded with men eagerly advancing to what they believed was certain vic- tory. In vain did the brave std mandarin call to his men to turn. for the day might still be theirs if they had only the courage to sdvsitce—in vain did he try by showing bold front himself. and turning round to lay about him among the enemy, to restore tlte courage of his people.
