We have just concluded the perusal of this work and can truly say, that we think it fully deserv ing of all the praises which have been so liberally bestowed upon it by the press. The plot is well laid, and the different parts harmonize well. Th?? life of the author (it is an autobiography) opens in the times of the last of the James', and extends through that of William and Mary, and Queen Anne, and ends in the reign of the first George.? He is intioduced to us in England, and after ac companying him through a life of vicissiiudes and perils, at one time finding him serving under the '?great Marlborough," (the perfidious Sir John Churchill) in Flanders, at the bloody battles o? Blenheim, Ramillies and Wynendael, at another, finding him iu league with Ihose who hurled the might Duke from his high place, attained by the coolest courage contrived with the most unblush ing venality; we finally land him on the placid shores of the Potomac, after a marriage, having in it much of the romantic mingled with itsoposite.? The work is peculiarly interesting, because of the introduction of the "stars of literature" of those days. Dick Steele figures in all the wild excentn city of his leal character, Addison is smooth and unpolished as his own diction, while Atterbury plays the churchman accordingly to the true and liberal spirit of the parsons of the early days of the English church. There is much of interest and in struction in this work, and a more pleasant method cannot be found, of spending "eveningsat home," than by reading this production of Thackeray. It can jbe had at M'Mechen's, under the M'Lure House. We cannot do better than copy the following ju dicious remarks of the National Intelligencer up on the ten million appropriation, to which we have heretofore invited the attention of our readers. The proposition is so monstrous, so overwhelming to the true and limited powers conferred upon the Federal Government, so eminenily despotic in its tendency, and so obviously at war with the Reserv ed (lights of the Stutfs by tending to build up and make all powerful the Central Government, that it cannot be too seriously scrutinized by those in terested in preserving the balance of power and the true relations of the Federal and State Govern ments. We have always feared less from the Legislative encroachments of the Central Gov ernment than from the Executive branch, but we hove in this, a proposition to be sanctioned by the Legislative branch for enlarging and rendering al most absolute the Executive, or one man branch of Federal Government. The Archimedean lever is lost t:? the world, but if we were called upon to find its substitute, we should unhesitatingly locate it in the purse-strings. Money is the controlling power in all humau transactions, and though ten or twenty millions may not perhaps be all power ful, yet the precedent would remain, and in other hands, and under other circumstances might pro duce the most alarming and disastrous results. Let us beware then how we set a precedent such as this, unconstitutional, unprecedented, inexpedi ent and highly subversive of the conservative principles of our Government, which recognize the Federal Executive as our servant rather than our master. "The most important"feature, however, of the wtek, of tne Session, and indeed of the Thirty second Congress, is, in our estimation, the vote in the House of Representatives upon the proposition to place at the discretion of the Executive ten mil lions of dollars, to meet such exigencies as may present themselves, "from hour to hour," in the foreign relations of this country; and the Delate which lias beg"n and is going on, in the Senate, involving questions cognate to it. The vote in the House of Representatives only can be considered conclusive, the debate in the Senate being yet in progress. But that vote, of one hundred and fifty members to twenty-six, refusing to entertain the porten'ous proposition referred to, must be regard ed as auspicious to the hope of a peaceful and con servative. administration of tlit. Government for some time to come. That trust may indeed be dis appointed; but this vote leaves room for hope, for which hardly room would have been left, had thij proposition, under the circumstances, been received with favor by the Representatives of the People. In characterizing this as a dangerous proposition, no reflection is intended upon the mover, or upon those who sustained it by their votes. With their known opinions of the proper policy of this Govern ment in its foreign intercourse, and of the primary o' jects of good government generally, the proposi tion is a perfectly natural one for them to have biought forward. To us, who entertain very different views as well of the constitutional powers of Congress and the President of the Uniled States as of the proper em ployment of tho-e powers, the movement appears to be not unnatural merely, but entirely foreign to the spirit of the Constitution. In the first place, its adoption would have con stituted an anomaly in legislation, of which no ex ample is to be found i:t the history of th.s Govern ment, the one or two cases of supposed precedent differing from it in the very material fact that they wste based on existing exigencies, and not "on such exigencies as may arise" out of the relations of this country witli the other Powers of the earth, and which are no more likely to arise now than they have be^n during the last four years, within which not only no such extravagant appropriations have been deemed necessary by Congress, but the requi site appropriations for the support even of the Peace Establishment of the country have in many instan ces been flatly refused, or reduced far below the actual wants of the public service. In the next place, as is most aptly remarked by one of ourcotemporaries, (the Boston Journal,) the "Constitution has thrown around the public purse the mast careful and jealous defences, to guard ii from the discretionary use of official men; and last of all should the President, who is an executive officer, having nothing'to do with the disbursement of the public moneys except the sanctioning of ap propriation bills, as he does all other laws, be al lowed to hold in his own hands any discretionary fund. The Constitution says no money shall be drawn from the treasury but in consequence of ap propriations made bylaw; and enumerates the par ticular duties of Congress, by authority of which such appropriations are to be made. In voting money out of the treasury, a specific purpose is designated in the law; and nothing but an inevitable and stringent necessity will or ought to permit any departure from the established custom. No other reason ran be as>igned for this extraordinary mea sure just now than such as has existed since the foundation of our Government, and such as will continue while the world stands?jealousy of for eigu Powers, the rumors of uucertain wars, terri torial acquisitions, or Govcrmental jpterlerence, &c., which auy nation, strong in its own integrity, ami confident in its own strength, would al.ow tu pass by like the idle winds." The circumstauces under which the proposition (or this grant of money was presented to the House of Representatives were well calculate I to excitt distrust and alarm in all reasoning or reflecting mind-*. On the 22u of last month occurred in the Senate a brief but memorable" debate, which wt had occasion to note at the time, iu which Messrs. Mason, Cass, Undr.*wood, and others took part, upon the relations of the Spanish territory of Cuba to the Cnit?H* States; which debate was made the subject of an elaborate article in a tract issued from the office of the Democratic Review, (pub lished at New York,) in which the opinions ad vanced in the debate, that the United Slates is con tent that Cuba should for the present remain a colony of Spain, and that we will not interfere with it ueta* other Governments attempt to grasp 01 b?y it, or until it has achieved its own indepen dence. are ridiculed as "stale and worn out doc trines;" whilst, (savs the reviewer) "the whole race of statesmen toho have thus far been in place art about to disappear before the flood of progress and improvement which they do not understand and cannot resist;" winding up this wholesale denun ciation and proscription of political wisdom am experience in its own party with this very intelligi ble proposition: "Our peotle leant Cuba and they will have it; end it is idle f<-r politicians to name the cases in which they will give consent to its ac quisition.,' This is, iu brief, the logic of the mod ern Democracy, ami the way inwhich it deals with every thingthat is most respectable initaown ranks. And, pursuing for several pages a strain of reason ing1 to sustain this demonstration, the article of the Review anives at the following conclusions re markably consistent, in their substance, with the proposition defeated in the Hoaseon Monday last: "All around the hor-zon the tempest lowersovei the United States, and not less among the legacies of the outgoing Executive to the incoinming Presi dent is the sequal of this very Cuban difficulties.? It behooves us all to be prepared for extremities.? "Che measures to be taken are very simple. The principal are to follow Cromwell, in praying to God and keeping our powder dry. "The sinews of War should not only be forth coming, but in hand; and we have bestowed 011 the quesl ion of finance long anil careful attention. "We are in favor of a credit of several millions wing- opened at the Treasury for the use of the next President in case of need. It is not much differ eucewhether the amount placed at his order be five or ten millions or twenty millions; and out of the abundant surplus on hand over the estimated ex penditures, it will be better to make ample p*o visions for contingencies than to have the Execu tive without money at a critical moment." In a preceding part of the article, the Reviewer had yet more explicitly unveiled the projects and calculations of the young (and verdent) Democra cy, asfollows: "With the President Elect at their head, the pa triotic spirits of the county, who are the m~n of the future, will not lag behind Manifest Duty and Des tiny in refer-nce to the waters, and islands, and isthmuses of the Gulf of Mexico." A yet more remarkable coincidence than the conclusions of the "Democratic Review" is the conspicuous publication, in a leading Democratic paper in the ciiy of New York on Sunday, the 16th of this month, (the day preceding that of the vote upon the question in the House of Representa tives,) of an article noticing the first suggestion of this Ten Million preposition to the House, (a few days earlier than the vote upon it,) in which the credit is claimed for that journal of having been the first to advise the measure, and after commend ing the frank disclosure, in the body of the resolu tion, of the contingencies to which the money is to l>e applied, the same journal recapitulates as follows "the more prominent reasons why this lund of ten millions should be voted to the discretion of Gen. Pierce:" "First, then, our delicaterelations with Spain, and inc dentally with England audFrance, on the the Cuba question; our confused and embarrassing relations with Mexico; our intricate, perplexing, and mortifying relations with England in Central America?to say nothing of the affair, of Hayti, or of the inviting field for anlarged system of com mercial facilities with the States of South Ameri ca?will demand of the President elect, from the day of his inauguration, all the skill,sagacity,tact, talent, courage, and discretion which he can briiiL' iuto'his administration. Secondly.he will be requir ed to act without further delay, and upon a bolder and mo:e positive and decisive schedule than the milk-and-water policy of General Taylor's Cabi net and of Mr. Presideut Fillmore's. In the third place, a decisive reversal of their policy iu regard to Cuba, Mexico, or Central America, may bring us into collision with England, France, or Spain, or with all combined. "In the mean time. Congress, adjourning on the fourth of March, does not reguiarly meet again till the first Monday in December next. During this 1-ng vacuum of nine months the whole weight of the Government, with all its foreign responsibili ties. will rest upon the President and his Cabinet. I11 the absence of any discretionary power, or dis cretionary means, he may he reduced to the extre M1TV OF CAL.I.1 NO AN EXTRA SESSION OK Co.VGRESS; whereas, with a a reserved fund of ten millions to back him, that expensive, and generally worse thau useless expedient, may he avoided. At all events, it is the part of wisdom to provide, as far as the crisis requires, against any probable neces sity for an extra session." In view of these disclosures, from collateral sources, of the ends for which these ten millions of dollars were desired by certain aspiring gentle men 10 be put into the hands of the President, with the avowed purpose of placing these transcen dently important issues b-yond the reach of con gress?without holding the mover of the proposi tion 111 Congress accountable for what has beeu said out of doors in favor of the scheme?is it pos sible toshutour eyes to the extent of the dangers which, through the wise discretion of the House of Representatives in declining to entertain this proposition, the country hasso far escaped? With what more deplorable evils could the opening of Pandora's fabled Box have filled the confines of earth than the consummation of the views of these journalists might have shed, by kindling a general war, not upon this People only, but upon nearly every nation with which we ate now in friendly intercourse ?

Fjrk.?The Louisville gJournal of Friday last says: "Our citizens wete startled about 8 o'clock last evening by the crv of fire, which proceeded from the Louisville Hotel. The fire originated in the room of the house-keeper, which was in the fourth story of the main building, immediately back of the rotunda. The fire spread very rapid ly. It burned off the entire roof and most of the third story of the main building. The furniture was either burned or broken by removal. The first and second stories suffered no damage except from water. The two large wings back of the hotel, as well as the splendid new wing fronting on Sixth street, escaped injury, but their contents were much damaged by removal. Ancient and Modern Cities.?We are to con sider London as a considerable c.tv, and New Yorkers regard their village as an immense munic ipality. But if the Mayors of Ninevah and Baby lon cou!d revisit the earth, they would laugh at the pretensions of the moderns. The area of Babylon was two hundred and twenty-five square miles, and that of Ninevah, two hundred and six teen square miles, while that of London and its environs is but one hundred and fourteen square miles. TiieMcDonouh Will Case.?The New Orleans Picayune, in its evening edition of Monday last, has the following in reference to the recent decis ion of the McDonogh will case: The case ofjthe State ofN. Orleans, vs. the cities of Louisiana and Baltimore, in which the State seeks to get possession of the McDonogh estate un der a clause in the will, was decided this morning by the Supreme Court, a majority of the Court be ing in favor of the cities. The decision was deliv ered by Chief JusticeEustis in an exceedingly well written and able opinion. Mr. Justice Slidell gave an able dissenting opinion in the case. OUT1IERN AND WESTERN COMMERCIAL CONVEN TION.?An adjourned meeting of the ciiizens of Memphis,?said to have been the largest prelimi nary meeting ever held in that city,?convened on the 15th inst., for the purpose of taking the first steps towards the accommodation of the Southern and Western Commercial Convention, which ad journed in Baltimore to re-assemble iu Memphis in June next. The meeting expressed "a deep and abiding in terest in the object of the Convention," expressed ! its especial gratification that the next meeting I was to be held in Memphis, cordially tendered the hospitalities of the city to all persons who might on that occasion attend its sittings from any part of the Union, and appointed a committee to make all necessary and proper arrangements for the holding of the Convention.

The Currency. Messrs. Editors: The attempt now making in Congress to put down the vile spawn of paper coin, so prolific in the District of Columbia, is most meri torious ou the part of the promoters and friends of the measure, and must, if successful, as it should be, prove highly salutary and beneficial to the peo ple of the District, and indeed to the State at large. It is high time that the Legislature of every State in the Union should look more strictly into this matter of paper money. For why is it that with all the prodigious influx of gold which is constantly pouring in upon us, there should be solittl? gold or silver, and so much paper money in circulation! In some of the great commmcrcial nations of the Old Woild, where th?evil o' an unrestrained pa per currency ha<Tbeen oflen felt, it is consoling to think that public feeling and the power of govern ment have been successfully exerted in grappling with and checking it. The thing has been sub jected to a judicious control, and placed under a salutary restraint. And our rulers here might well imitate the good example by abolishing entirely the issues of oue dollar and five dollar bills, and pla cing such restrictions on, and exacting such secu rity of all parties, companies or corporations issuing paper money, as may, if not fully, yet to a consid erable extent, protect the public, whosb crtdulity 01 necessities induce the use of these often worth - iess "promises to pay." Sundry interested parties, brokers, bankers, &c., who live by aud fatten on the vicious system in question, are, sotospeak, "moving heaven and earth" to obtain a repeal of the excellent law of the last session of our Maryland Legislature, which abolished, after the 1st day of March, the privilege of issuing notes or bills of a less denomination than five dollars. Why, instead of repealing that wise measure, its provisions ought Io be extended, and issues for less than from ten to twenty dollars should be entirely prohibited; above these amounts the is sues should be subject to a strict control, such as commercial experience and legislative wisdom may readily devise. Thankfully approving and earnestly hopingthere may be 110 repeal, but rather a hearty main'enance of the small note law, I am, Messrs. Editors, Yours, respectfully, A Looker-on. Baltimore, Jan. 21, 1853. Railway Matters. The rail is now down on the Indianapolis road to Union, connecting the line from this city by Dayton and Greenville. Daily trains are advertised to run regularly from Lafayette and Terra Haute by Indi anapolis to Cincinnati, in onr. day, commencing on the 1st of February. The Louisville and Frankfort company have re solved to take a vote of the Stockholders on the propriety of constructing a branch of their road from Eminence to the Ohio river, opposite Cincinnati, and also for a branch to Harrodsburgh. The line north of Troy to Toledo, 011 the Dayton and Michigan road, has been all let to Toledo, in cluding the Equipment, Station Houses, &c., Mr. Dolittle, the efficient contractor 011 the line, has the whole contract, but the terms have not trans pired. The Delaware Gazette states that the Springfield and Mount Vernon Company have recently sold $500,000 of their bonds, at the East, on advanta geous terms, und that the Little Miami Company has taken $200,000 of their stock, and agreed to run the road, for a term of years, in connection with their road. The Lebanon Star says the subscriptions on the "straight line" road, from Xeuia, by Lebanon to this city, with "an arm to Springfield," are 'mount ing up,' and that the rond will bemadein two years. The Hoard of Directors of the Marysville aud Big 1 Sandy ltailway Company invite proposals for the graduation ami matoury of the road between Mays ville and Springville, intending to commence the work about the first of April. Quite a number of contractors on the Pittsburgh and Steubeuville Railroad, we understand, have left, without giving notice, after receiving their es timate?ami what is worse, forgetting to pay their laborers ?Steub. lit raid. Some of th.* Cincinnalians are strongly in favor of abandoning the White Water canal and building a railway in its stead. This, we tlnnk, would be a good change, provided they could secure it against floods, which have always been the ruination.of the canal. TheOl.ioand Mississippi Railway begins to make quite a show in the way of an embankment through the bottom, between the Miami river and this place. They have a good force at work, and intend putting the line through to this place immediately. A passenger car was put on the track c?f the L. & U. M. Railway on Monday last.

Here is a paragraph from the New York Jour nal of Commerce, that will arrest the attention of women who bake their own bread, if nobody else. The Croton flour is bound to rise. Says the Jour nal : Patent .welf Raising Flour is an article entering into very general consumption, 1,000 bbls. being manufactured at the Croton Mills per month. Its peculiar properties are imparted by incorporating with the flour, during its inancfacture, supercarbon ate of soda and tartartic acid,in suitable proportions ?Not less than 100,000 lbs. of the former, and 70,000 of the latter have been imported during the last six months, to be used in the preperation of the self raising flour. By the new process, the usual way of raiding bread by the partial decomposition of the dough, (which is said to cause a deteriora tion of the valuable qualities of the flour, anu a loss equal to 16 per cent In weight, compared with bread raised without yeast,) is avoided, The proprieto.s of the Croton Mills, are prepar ing^) give a collation a* their establishment, during thenextweek, for benefitof housekeepers, at which they propose to serve up bread, biscuit, &c., from the self raising flour, produced within forty-five minutes from the flour. The St. Ciiari.fs Hotel.?We learn from the New Orleans Picayune that the new St. Charles hotel, built 011 the site of the hotel of the same name destroyed by fire in 1851, is completed and will shortly be opened. It will vie in rich finish and splendor of decoration with the hotel palaces of New \ork. The building occupies a whole square of ground, und has 407 rooms devoted to the accommodation of guests, in addition to the nume rous offices, parlors, &c. The genilemeu's dining room will accommodate 500 guests. All the ar rangements in the way of heating and lighting are on the most improved plan, aud steam occupies an important part in facilitating the operations of the establishment. The ladies parlor is fitted up in magnificent style, the furniture made for if, cost ing 815,000. A gold service, designed for private dinner parties, numbers 122 pieces, and a silver set, designed for the ladies* ordinary, numbers 400 pieces. Maine Law in the House. Yesterday Mr. Fisher, chairman of the Temper ance committee, reported back the bill embodying the general features of the Maine law, with an a mendmeiit striking out the entire bill and inserting in its place Mr. Hush's bill of the last session.? This bill allows the manufacture of spirituous li quors in the State; it allows the transportation of liquors through the State, and storage in the State, and also allows the sale of liquors by any one, withoutrestrictiction, for medical, ineehatiieal and. sacramental purposes. This bill may be found on page 756 of House Journal of last winter. After talking about the bill, and proposing amendments for some time, Mr. Gest moved to amend so as to prohibit the manufacture of spirituous liquors in the State. This, so far as we could judge bom ap pearances, was opposed by the friends of the bill, thinking that if it was attached it would kill the whole thing. The amendment was lost by a de cided vote. The House adjourned without any definite action on the subject.? Ohio S. Journal. Horrible Accident.?The Portsmouth (N. H.) Chronicle gives an account of a terrible accident | which recently happened to a farmer (name not I given) in Wells, Maine, by falling from a haymow | and becoming impaled upjn the point of a hay pull er.

Upon the sacred solitude. For there are treasures richer Tar, To me, than gold or gem, Than pearl, or sparkling jewel rare In monarch's diadem; The wealth or years that still will last, Choice relics from the buried past. There aro rich joys, and transient tears. As bright as sumuiei showers, That quickly passed, and only gave New joy to childhood's hours. Unlike when youth and hopes depart, Ai.d tears are shadows on the heart. There oft I list the happy tones Of youthful joy and mirth. And meet the glance or eyes that long Haveelosed on scenes or earth; Which memory, raitMul to her trust. Hath garnered from the sleeping dust. And loved ones all too bcautiftil, For this cold world of ours? Loved ones who gently passed from earth, As dew from oir the flowers; The grave hath won?yet unto me; They live in deathless memory. And ever from her treasured store There conicth unto me, Joys that I ne'er again may know, Save in their memory. And were life now but grief and tears, Joy would spring up from by gone years. MOLLIK It. A Letter from General Pierce. The following touching letter was written by General Pierce to.a personal friend soon after his retirement from the United States Senate and some time after the death of a beautiful and manly boy, in reply to a letter of condolence. A later, and still more melancholy bereavement, gives it an additional interest that all will appreciate. Concord, N. H., Nov. 30.
