     We hope at least there is not one—who will, without emo— 
     
     timis of pleasure, peruse the passages which we give below 
     
    
   
   
    
     from a speech of Lord Brougham, delivered in the House 0.“ 
     
    
   
   
    
     Peers on the 7tl. ult., on his-motion of thanks to Lord Ash- 
     
     burton for [negotiating the Treaty of \Vashington. We cou- 
     
     fess our own unaffected gratification at such sentiments 
     
     from such a source, and will add our belief that language 
     
     at Once so friendly and so complimentary, and at the same 
     
     time so glowineg expressed, would hardly be as highly 
     
     prized in this country from any other source in England as 
     
     from the distinguished statesman from whom it proceeds.—

     , “Then it was said (said Lord Brougham) that Lord Ash- 
     
     burton had, at a public meeting, talked of Aili‘erica as the 
     
     ‘ ' cradle oflibcrty. [Lord Campbell: Bostou.] Yes, and this 
     
      said to be u cotiipi‘oiiiising not. But this was after the 
     
     negotiations wore over; this was “the song of triumph,” 
     
     to useJau expression of his noble friend opposite on a former 
     
     evening. At this public meeting at Boston .there was no 
     
    
   
   
    
     \ 
     
    
   
   
    
     ’ business to be transacted, but it'lwas held for the purpose of r 
     
    
   
   
    
     celebrating the alliance re—niade and the recoucilement 
     
     effected between these two great kindred nations. He inar~ 
     
     yelled to hear the Whigs object to atiy such proceedings at 
     
    
   
   
    
     a public meeting, but above all, to hear Whigs, or a. sort of 
     
    
   
   
    
     Whigsat least (a laugh,)object to any thing that was said in 
     
     favor of the cradle ofliberty. He should have thought the very 
     
     language was so sweet and dear to every friend ofliberty 
     
     - that: it might reconcile them to what might otherwise have 
     
     appeared a breach of dignity and decorum. Now there was 
     
     one other-authority, and it was the last to which lle‘WlSlHTtl 
     
     to relish—that of our revered monarch, George 1". He 
     
     did not consider that" he stooped from his high degree, or 
     
     that he adopted a truckling and unbecotriing tone, which iii

     On any night when the British House of Commons is in 
     
     committee of'Supply, and the Army or Navy-estiiiiates, or 
     
     any other of the many estimates so cou‘iplete is their totals 
     
     and so complex in the items by which those totals are arrived 
     
     at,aro under consideration, the visiter may see a rather 
     
     stout thick-set elderly gentleman, with a broad countenance 
     
     and massive head, sitting about midWay down the house, 
     
     on the second opposition bench from the floor, with a well- 
     
     iised copy of'tlic‘ said estimates in his hand, deeply and car- 
     
    
   
   
    
     . . , . . ' stl etiu'an'edin atask which by common consenti seem! 
     
     usually turgid With blood. In other respects these parts "'6 y n a v . , 
     
    
   
   
    
     coat-oiled to him almost sxolusively. \Ve necd scarcely say, 
     
     that the task ~isth'e narrow examination oftlie nature and 
     
     amount of every vote, and that the man who pcrformsit 
     
     with such energy and good-will is Mr.Joseph Iluine, the 
     
     member for Montrose. There he is, ofteuei' on his legs than 
     
    
   
   
    
     by smooth or vague- generalities, and with more inquisitive- 
     
     iiess than an‘iiicome-tax couiiiiissiouer. His name is one of 
     
     the few that stand out before the public as known and famir 
     
     her as a “household word,” and assoeiated throughout the 
     
     empire with the . principle of'slate economy. His reputa- 
     
     tion has‘beeii gained by the thorough-going manner with 
     
     which he has applied liimselfto that branch ofpiihlic . busi- 
     
     ness for which, from his peculiar qualities, lie is best adapt- 
     
     ed. He has an intimate knowledge of'liiisiiiess and accounts, 
     
     and grout dexterity in applying that knowledgcao the ef- 
     
     fairs before him ; while he possesses,'also, three great requi- 
     
     sites for man a who undertakes an almost individual opposi- 
     
     tion to the government, «prompted by the not very gracious 
     
     motives ofsuspiciou and distrust,—stout nerves, good com- 
     
     mon sense, and a strong constitution. Nothing can deter 
     
     him, nothing tire him out, nothing can put lllll’l down; once 
     
     resolved, he is the most iiiiii‘ioveable of Men who ever took ti 
     
     seat in the house or a stand on a principle. Abuse, even if 
     
     the forms of Parliament tolerated it, would be of no avail; 
     
     cajole‘ry with him is not to be thought of; and to sarcasms 
     
     or satire ho is perfectly inseiisiblc : to the glittering shafts 
     
     of'wit his nature is as impervious as the hide ofa rhinoceros 
     
     is to the light dart of the African hunter. Ho ‘lll'l be met 
     
     by nothing less than a thorough explanation, or a majority. 
     
     As an orator he cannot rank; for tlioiigli'pi'acticc has made 
     
     him a fluent speaker, his language is involved and his senten- 
     
     ces almost always incomplete. Though few men speak 
     
     more frequently or at greater length, he can better manage 
     
     the figures of'speech; and we should think him more likely 
     
     to vote for an addition to the secret-service money than to 
     
     give utterance to a metaphor. Of'imagination he has not a 
     
     spark, and as to poetry, anything i'ese-iiibliiig it is not him. 
     
     Should he ever quote, it will probably be the “Thrift, thrift, 
     
     Horatio,” of Sliukspeztre, who, by the way, described a kin- 
     
     dred spirit in the honest steward of'the prodigal Timon of 
     
     Athens, who says of himself— 
     
     , “\Vlieti chambers reeled 
     
    

    
     \Vith tliunken spilth ofwinc, when every room 
     
     Has blaan with light and braycd with minstreliy, 
     
     I have retired me to a Wiistefulcock, 
     
     And set iiiiiie eyes at flow.” 
     
    

    
     Our steward, however, is made of rather sterner stuff and 
     
     his more practical bent of'iiiind would haveled him in the

     the cock and stopped the extravagant effusion iii the most 
     
     uiisympiitliising manner poseible. , 
     
    

    
     Mr. Hume must be now verging to sixty years ofage, but 
     
     he is still halo and hardy; time can scarcely alter his in- 
     
     grained complexion ; even his hair is as thick and bushy as 
     
     that on heads that might belong to his son, though its liuelis 
     
     a decided grizzle. He seems to have been in Parliait‘ient

     those laws, those institutions—above all, that spirit ol'liherty, 
     
     'ofreli-gious as well as ol'civ'il liberty, which has made the 
     
     American republic the greatest democratic nation that ever

     in itself, there is enough to fill oiie with admiration, with

     and to carry those feelings to their utterniost, it is necessary 
     
     that we compare and contrast it with what has happened 
     
     elsewhere, in other parts of the new world, where all the 
     
     grits of Nature were not attended with the blessings ol'social

     he has represented many places. He was long fixed in filltl;

     the dead are not kept for several days, as with us, in the

     till certain signs of decomposition are apparent; and besides 
     
     this precaution, iii case ofsiispeiidetl animation, the fingers 
     
     of the corpse are fastened to a bell—rope, cotiimuiiicating with 
     
     an alarum, so that on the slightest movement the body rings 
     
     for the help which it requires for its resuscitation—a watch- 
     
     or and a medical attendant beingr constantly at hand. 
     
    

    
     Now, the duty of'answering the life-bell has devolved on 
     
     one Peter Kloppwuo very onerous service, considering that 
     
     for thirty years since he had been the oflicial '“ Dcath~ 
     
     Watch,” the metallic tongue of the alurum liiid never sound- 
     
     ed asinglc note. ‘The defunct Frankforters committed to 
     
     his charge had remained, one and all, man, woman and 
     
     child, as stiff; as still, and as silent as so many stocks and 
     
     stones. Not that in every case the vital principle was neces- 
     
     sarily extinct: in some bodies, out ofso many thousands, it 
     
     doubtless lingered, like a Spark amongst the ashes—but dis- 
     
     inclined, by the national phlegni,-to an active assertion of 
     
     its eXistencc. . , 
     
    

    
     For a German, indeed, there is a charm in a certain vapor- 
     
     ous dreamy state, between life and death, between sleeping 
     
     and waking, which a transcendental spirit would not dis- 
     
     solve. Be that as it might, the deceased Frankforters all 
     
     lay in their turns in the corpse-cliaiiiber, as passive as‘sta- 
     
     tues lulllllll'lde. Not a limb stirred, not a muscle twitched, 
     
     not a finger contracted, and consequently not a note sounded 
     
     to startle the ear or try the nerves of Peter Klopp. 
     
    

    
     In fine, he became a confirmed sceptic as to such resusci- 
     
    

    
     The bell had never rung, and he fell. certain that it 
     
     never would ring—unless from the vibrations of'aii earth- 
     
     quake. No, tic—death and the doctors did their work too 
     
     surely for their patients to relapse into life in any such inan- 
     
     nei'. 'Alld truly it is curious to observe, that, in. proportion 
     
     to the multiplication of physicians and the progress ol'medi- 
     
     cal science, the number of revivals has decreased. The. ex- 
     
     spimate no longer rally as they need to do some centuries 
     
     since—when Aloys Schneider was restored by the yolting of 
     
     his‘coflin, and Margaret Schoning, leaving her death—‘de 
     
     walked down to slipper in her last linen. _ l , 
     
    

    
     So reasoned Peter 'I{l0p[.), who—long past the first tre- 
     
     tnors and fancies of his nowciatc—had come,’by dint o'fcug: 
     
     tom, to look‘at the bodies in his care but as so n

     with dismal black, the’ lifeless body of Martin Grab was 
     
     lying in its shroud as still as a marble statue. .At his head 
     
     the solitary funeral lamp burned without a flicker—there 
     
     was no breath ofair .to disturb .the flame or to curve-the 
     
     long spider-lines that hung perpendicularly from the ceilitia. 
     
     The silence was intense. You might have heard the ghost 
     
     of'a whisper orthe whisperof‘a ghost, if'there had been one 
     
     present to utter it—liut the very air seemed dead _si_id stag— 
     
     nant—not elastic enough fora sigh even from a spirit. 
     
    

    
     “In the adjoining room reposed the Death-Watch, Peter 
     
     Klopp. He had thrown himself, in his clothes, on his little 
     
     bed, with his pipe still between his lips. Here, too, all, was 
     
     silent and still. Not a cricket chirped—filo! a mouse stirred 
     
     ._nor a draught of air. The light smoke of the pipe mount- 
     
     ed directly upward, and mingled with its clouillike s_hadow_ 
     
     anthem-tiling. The eye would have detected the flitting of 
     
     a mote, the 'ear would have caught the rustling of :a straw, 
     
     but all was quiet as the grave, still as it's-steadfast tombs—- 
     
     when suddenly the shrill hurried pools of the alarum-bell— 
     
     the very same sound that for fifteen years he had nightly 
     
     listened for—tho very same sound that for as many long 
     
     years lieliadaitterly ceased to expect, abruptly startled the 
     
     slniiiberiiig senses of Peter Klopp! 
     
    

    
     “In an instant he was out of bed nml on his feet, but 
     
     without the power offurtlier progress. His terror was ex— 
     
     treme. To be Walked suddenly in a fright is sufficiently 
     
     dreadful; but to be roused in the .dead of'the night by so 
     
     awful a summons-by a call, as it were, from beyond the 
     
     grave, to help the invisible spirit—perhaps a demon’s—to 
     
     reaiiiinate a cold, clammy corpse—~what wonder that the 
     
     poor wretcli stood shuddering, choking, gasping for breath, 
     
     with his hair standing upright on his head, his eyes starting 
     
     out of‘tlieii' orbits, his teeth chattering, his hands clutched, 
     
     his limbs paralysed, and a cold sweat oozing out from every 
     
     pore.ofbis body! In the first spasm of horror his Jaws had 
     
     collapsed with such force, that he had bitten through the 
     
     stem of his pipe, the bowl and stalk falling to the floor, 
     
     whilst the mouth piece passed into his throat and agitated 
     
     him with new convulsions. In the very crisis of this strug- 
     
     gle, a loud crash resoutided from the corpse—chamber—then 
     
     came a rattling noise, as of loose boards, followed by a sti- 
     
     fled cry—then a strange, unearthly shout, which the Death- 
     
     Watcli answered with as unnatural a shriek, and instantly 
     
     fell headlong, on his face, to the floor.” 
     
    

    
     “ Poor fellow! Why it was enough to killJiim.” 
     
    
   
   
    
     “It did, madam. The noise alarmed the resident doctor 
     
     and the military patrols, who rushed into the building, and, 
     
     lo! a strange and horrid sight! There lay on the ground 
     
     the unfortunate Death-Watch, stiff and inscnsible; whilst 
     
     the late corpse, in its grave-clothes bent over him, eagerly 
     
     administering the stimulants, and applying the rostoratives 
     
     that lied been prepared against his own revival. But all hu- 
     
     man help was in vain. 
     
     as Martin Grab was alive and actually stepping into the dead 
     
     man’s shoes, became, and is at this day, the otficial Death- 
     
     watch at Frankfort-on—tlie-Maiiio." 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     Ex'raaoanmaav Mncnamc.——In the town of Alyth, in 
     
     Scotland, there lately lived email of much provincial cele- 
     
     Vfii'ity, of'thc name ofJames 'Sandy. 'I‘lié originality of go- 
     
     nius and eccentricity of'cliaracter which distinguished this 
     
     rein ‘kable person have rarely been surpassed. Deprived 
     
     at an early age ofthe use ofhis legs, be contrived, by dint of 
     
     ingenuity, not only to pass his time agreeably, but to render 
     
     biniselfa useful member of society. He soon displayed a 
     
     taste for tiiccliaiiical pursuits, and contrived, as a workshop 
     
     for his operations, a sort ofcircular bed, the sides of which, 
     
     being raised about eighteen inches above the clothes, were 
     
     employed as a platform for turning lathes, tables, vices, and 
     
     toolsiofnll kinds. His genius for practical mechanics was 
     
     universal. ‘He was skilled in all sorts of turning, and con- 
     
     structed several very curious lathes, as well as clocks and 
     
     musical instruments ofevery description, no less admired 
     
     for the sweetness of their tone than the elegance of their 
     
     execution. He excelled too i"n the construction ofoptical 
     
     instruments, and made some reflecting telescopes, the spe- 
     
     cula‘ of whitih were not inferior to those finished by the most 
     
     eminent London artists. He suggested some important ii-ii- 
     
    
   
   
    
     _pi'ovcmeiits in the macliiner 'f’or spinning flax; atid, We 
     
    
   
   
    
     believe, he was the first who made the wooden-jointed snuff 
     
     lioxes,‘geuerally called Laurence IGrkboxes, some ofwbich, 
     
     fabricated by this self-taught artist, were purchased ‘aiid sent 
     
     as presents to the Royal Family, To his otherendowmetits, 
     
     he added an accurate knowledge of drawing and engraving, 
     
     and in both of'tbese arts produced specimens of'the highest 
     
     excellence. For upwards of fifty years he qiiitted his bed 
     
     only. three times, and on these occasions his house was 
     
     either inundated with water, or threatened with'ilanger from 
     
     fire. His curiosity, which wasunbounded, prompted him to 
     
     hatch difi'eijent'kiiids of birds’ eggs by the natural warmth of 
     
     his body, and lie afterwards raised‘the' niotly brood with all 
     
     the tenderness ofa parent; so that on visiting him it was no 
     
     uncommon thin}.r te See various singing" birds, to which he 
     
     may be said to have given birth, perched on his head, and 
     
     warbling the artificial notes he had taught them. Ntiturally 
     
     possessed of a good constitution, and an active mind, his 
     
     hpuse was the general (tOfi‘eeel‘ODm of the village, where the 
     
     affairs of both Church and State were discussed with the 
     
     lllttl0§t'fi'e€tl0m. , in consequence of long confinement, his 
     
     countenance had rather a sickly cast, but it was remarkably 
     
     expressive, and would have afforded afiiie subject for the 
     
     pcncilofVVilkio, particularly when he was surrounded by 
     
     his country friends. This singular man had acquired by his 
     
     ingenuity and industry an honorable independence, and died 
     
     possessed of considerable property. He married about three 
     
     weeks before his death. From this brief history ol'Jameev 
     
     Sandy, we may learn this very instructive lesson, that no 
     
     difficulties are too great to be overcome by industry and per- 
     
     severance, and that genius, though it should sometimes miss 
     
     the distinction 'it deserves, will seldom fail, unless by its own 
     
     fault, to secure competency and respectability. . 
     
    

    
     ’ TRICKERY IN TRADE—The last number of Hunt’s mer- 
     
     chant’ .Hlllgfizllle contains an interesting memoir of Gideon 
     
     Lee, from which we derive the following anecdote, illustra- 
     
    
   
   
    
     -tive ofhis own fair dealings, and of'the useful effect of trick- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ery in trade. No man more thoroughly despised dishonesty 
     
     than Mr. Lee, and he used to remark, “no trade can be send d 
     
     that is not beneficial .to both parties ; to the buyer as well as 
     
     to the seller, A man may obtain a temporary advantage by 
     
     selling an article for more than it is worth, but the very ef- 
     
    
   
   
    
     fect ofsuch operations must recoil on him in the shape of 
     
    
   
   
    
     bad debts and increased risks.” A person with whom he 
     
     had some transactions, once boasted to him that he had, on 
     
     on/o occasion, obtained an advantage over such a neighbor, 
     
     and. upon another occasion over another neighbor, “and to- 
     
     day,” said he, “I have obtaincd'one over you.” “Well,” said 
     
    
   
   
    
     ,Mr. Lee, “that maybe; but ifyou .will promise never to- 
     
    
   
   
    
     enter my office again, I will give you'that bundle ofgoat- 
     
     skins.” The man made the promise and tookthem. Fif- 
     
     teen years afterwards he ‘walked 'into Mr. Lee’s Office. ' At 
     
     the instant on seeing him he exolaitned, “Youhave violated

     “ SEARS’ BIBLE BIOGRAPHY is even more finely illustrated 
     
     and beautifully ornamented than his previous Works. The typo. 
     
     griipliy is clear and plain, the paper and binding handsome, while 
     
     the gilded figures give it a rich and tasteful appearance. The 
     
     literary Contents are connected biographies ofall the principal 
     
     characters in the Bible. These are well Written, and the whole 
     
     "lustrnted with several hiitidred engravings—Anappendix'is also 
     
     L‘dded, containing some interesting assays upon subjects ofimporr

     “ This work, from the information it gives respecting Eastern 
     
     Habits, Manners, Countries, Animals, Scenery and People, all 
     
     of_ which are doubly illustrated, by language and pictorial repre-

     “ There is no series of works, at the present day, of more 
     
     practical importance, and deserving better encouragement, than 
     
     that oer. Seatrs'. His design is to add to. and extend the ln-A 
     
     [crest oftlie Bible—to place its truths and valuable precepts Eden 
     
     attractive light. It is often remarked, that the young of the 
     
     present age, though so. intelligent, know loss oftlic Bible than 
     
     children fifty 'ears ago. The reason has been, that their hands 
     
     have been fil ed with popular and pleasing books, adapted to 
     
     their capacity, and rendered attractive by illustrations and been- 
     
     tiful executions, while the Bible has laid neglected by, all its 
     
     golden tales, and thoughts, and trutlis,cuncenled in the sober and 
     
     formal pliraseology of King Jutnes’s lung-wigged diviiics. Mrs 
     
     Sears, by giving them a popular form , has conferred I great favor- 
     
     upon the young, and indeed upon all closes." _
