THE CABIN BOY'S STORY.
A SEMI-NA XTTICJIL ROMANCE OF INTENSE
INTEREST, BY THE AUTBOR OF THE"Ph
RA TE DOCTOR," THE "LA WYER S STORT,n
THE ?OLD DOCTOR,n dv
Thf success hitherto enjajed by the author of the
?bore popular works Is ? sufficient guarantee of the
favor with which any produfUosi coming from hip
Cn will be received by the public. ''The Cabin
y's Story" is a romantic narrative, illustrating
the horrors of the Slave Trade, as carried on in the
Coast of Africa. Tbe author has served in the nary
?and the descriptions and character* arc painted
from personal acquaintance with them. The story
Is full of exiting interest and adventute as the cel
ebrated work of Defoe, "Robinson Crusoeand has
the advantage over that glorious fiction, inasmuch
as it is (bunded on facts of every day occurrence ?
The history of the heroine of tbe story, Zuleika, the
Circassian Slavs, purchased at Constantinople, edu
cate-1 and married by the reckless, yet chi?alric Sey
mour?tbe commander rf tbe Albatross, is simply
tbe narration of a fact painted from the life, and ail
the numerous characters portrayed througheut the
story are vividly and graphically drawn.
The publishers have already received orders for
the whole of the edition it was origi tally their in
tention to publish; consequently they have been
obliged largely to increase it; and they respectfully
request that all orders may be sent in immediately.
They oonfl lently expect that the work will create
M much interest as any work of fiction that has cf
late emanated from the press, as notwithstanding,
sino? the publication ot"Uncle Tom's Cabin," works
relating to slavery in America, pro and con, have
been numerous, none have appear*d having relation
to the system of purchasing slaves tn the African
Oast, written by one who has wltntsfxl it in all its
hideous deformity Thn work is written in chaite
and pure language, and will be a welcome and in
structive addition to the fasily library.
The work will form a beautiful octavo volume of
400 pages, handsomely illustrated with fine engrav
ings, and elegantly bound in cloth.
Pri?e in cloth, $1; in paper 75 cents, at whkh
rate copies will be sent by the publishers to any
part of the country, free ot postag-*.

DAILY EVENING STAR. !
' NELSON'S LOTS
" Lamartine's Memoirs of Celebrated
Characters," has, in the memoir of Nel
son, an episode concerning the famed
beauty that once cnchantcd him. Tra
cing Nelson tlirough the early stages of
his rapid and signal success, the author
leaps us to the contemplation of his
"fatal attachment" to Lady Hamilton?
she who was "at first the Aspasia, and
afterwards the Herodias of her age."
Here is a description of how this wonderful
woman emerged from obscurity, and
blazed on the world.
lady iiamiltox's youth and fortunes.
Her only name was Emma, for her
father remained always unknown. She
was one of the children of love, of crime,
of mystery, whom nature delights to
overwhelm with gifts in compensation
for the loss of hereditary claims. Her
mother was a poor farmer's servant in
the couaty of Chester. "Whether she had
lost her husband by death, or, like Hagar,
had been abandoned by her seducer, she
arrived, unknown and reduced to beggary
at a village in Wales, the Switzerland of I
England. She earned in her arms a fe-1
male infant of a few months old. The
beauty of both attracted the simple moun
taineers of the village of 11awarden; the
stranger pickcd up a livelihood by work
ing for the farmers and gleaning in the
fields. The marked and noble features
of the child served to propagate the rumor 1
that her birth was illustrious and myste
rious; she was said to be a daughter of
Lord Halifax. Nothing afterwards, either I
in her fortune or education, gave color to
the report. At the age of twelve she I
was received in a neighboring family as J
children's servant. The frequent visits I
of her master and mistress to London, I
where they resided in the house of their I
relative, the celebrated engraver, Boydell, I
gave her the first idea of the impression I
her figure produced on the crowd in pub
lic places, and a vague presentiment of I
the high fortune to which her beauty!
would exalt her. At sixteen she made I
her escape from Hawarden, a field too I
obscure and circumscribed for her ex-1
panded dreams, and engaged herself in I
the household of a respectable tradesman I
in London. A lady of superior rank, I
struck by her appearance in the shop, I
elevated her to a higher position in ser-1
vitude.
Almost without employment in an I
opulent family, Emma gave herself up to I
the persual of those fascinating romances I
which create an imaginary world for the I
love or ambition of youtnful minds: she I
frequented the theatres, and ^imbibed I
there the first inspirations of the genius I
of dramatic expression, of action, and 1
attitude, which she became the animated I
statue of beauty and passion. Being I
iischarged by her mistress for some house-1
hold negligence, her growing taste for the I
theatre induced her to seek a situation in I
the family of one of the managers. The I
irregularity and freedom of that estab-1
lishment, the constant intercourse with
xctors, musicians, and dancers, initiated I
tier in the subordinate mechanism of the I
Iramatic art. She was then in the flower |
of her youth, and the full perfection of I
her beauty. Her tall and elegant figure I
equalled in natural grace the studied at-1
titudes of the most practiced figuarantes. 1
Her voice was soft, mellow, and capable I
of expressing deep tragic emotion. Her I
countenance, endowed with susceptibility I
is delicate and varying as the first feel-1
ings of a virgin mind, was, at the same |
time, pensive and dazzling. All who I
jaw her at that period of her life agreed J
in describing her as a resuscitation of I
Psyche. Purity of soul, transparent!
through the elegance of feature, surround-1
ed her, even in her dependent position, I
with a respect which admiration dare not I
overleap. She spread fire without being J
entangled in the flame herself; her inno-1
cence found a safeguard even in the ex-1
cess of her beauty. Her first fall was I
not a descent to vice, but a gliding into I
imprudence, arising from a yielding na-1
ture. A young countryman of the village I
of Hawarden, son of the farmer who had j
first given an asylum to her mother, was I
seized by a press-gang, and carricd in I
fetters to the fleet at anchor, in the!
Thames. Emma, at the entreaty of the I
prisoner's sister, accompanicd her to the I
captain of the ship to 'tnplore the libera- J
tion of her brother. Won by the beauty J
of the fair suppliant, ho listened to her |
prayers and tears, removed her from her |
low though honest station, overwhelmed 1
her with shameful luxury, furnished a I
house for her, supplied her with masters |
in every ornamental accomplishment, I
boastfully displayed his conquest in pub-1
lie, aud left her, when the squadron!
sailed, exposed without safeguard to new I
seductions.
One of his f'iends, bearing a noble I
name, and possessed of a large fortune, 1
carried off the faithless Emma to an es-1
tate in the country, treated her as- his I
wife, made her the queen of the hunting 1
parties, fetes, and balls; and finally grow-1
ing tired of her at the end of the season, |
left her in London at the mercy of chance, I
necessity and crime. Thrown back from |
this golden cloud on the hard pavement I
of the metropolis, and depreciated in the I
eyes of her former protectors by the pub-1
licity of her adventures, Emma was re-1
ceived by night, and in rags, under the 1
care of one of those infamous procuresses I
who carry on the trade of seduction. Ac-1
eident alone preserved her from infamy. I
The woman who had given her shelter, I
struck by the natural grace and modesty I
of her demeanor, and astonished at her |
overwhelming charms, introduced her as I
a natural miracle to a celebrated physi-1
cian, eminent for his admiration of fe-1
male beauty. This was the well-known I
Dr. Graham, (the inventor of the celes-1
tial bed,) a voluptuous and mystical I
luack, who professed to worship and to I
possess some profound intelligences re-j
specting the secrets of nature, by which I
means he had acquired a suspicious and I
fantastic reputation. Dr. Graham le>udly
expressed his admiration at the sight of
the young orphan, and liberally rewarded
ber introducer. He received her into his I
awn house, publicly advertised that he
possessed a rare example of the efficacy
of his specifics to produce the perfections
of life, beauty, and health, in % human
being; and called upon the incredulous
to come and oouviac* themselves by look
ing on an animated image of the goddess
Uygeia. At this appeal, addressed to li
centiousness rather than to science, the
disciples of Graham crowded mysterious
ly to his amphitheatre. The unfortunate
victim oi her own charms appeared
clothed in transparent garments, in the
oostnmc of a divinity: her covering
scarcely concealed her blushes.
The pride of the physician, and the
enthusiasm of the spectators, burst forth
iu loud acclamations. Tainting and
statuary had never before presented ideal
form and coloring equal to this example
ofliving nature. Painters and sculptors
vied in rivalry to copy from this divine
original. Among them Romncy, one of
the leading artists of the day, produced
many duplicates of the same lovely coun
tenance. He painted the fair Emma as
the goddess of the heathen mythology,
and under the attributes of the leading
heroines of poetry and the drama. The
portraits, being engraved, multiplied
throughout Europe the features of the un
known beauty. Romney, like Appelles.
subdued by Campaspe, became enamored
of his model, and carried her oT from
Graham as an exliaustless treasure of art
and fortune- He sold for their weight in
gold her portraits, either as the sorceress
Circe, or as Innoccnce holding a sensi
tive plant, and astonished at the motion
of the flower. Thus anonymous publici
ty at the same time protected her mod
esty. The produce of her attitudes,
which she received from Graham and
Romncy, enabled her to live in Ixmdon
in the shadow of respectable retirement.
The celebrated Madame Lebrun,artist in
ordinary to the Queen of France, Marie
Antoinnette, painted her at this time as
a Bacchante, and carricd her features
over to France. Quite a young Eng
lishman, of the illustrious house of*
Warwick, Mr. Greville, nephew to Sir
William Hamilton, embassador to Na
ples, discovered Emma in this obscurity.
Passion made him believe in her virtue ;
he loved, and endeavored to seduce her.
Whether she really desired to redeem the
errors of her early life, or preferred an
honorable name to a large fortune, she
steadily resisted his solicitations, and
was only won by a promise of marriage
as soon as the consent of his family could
be conquered by perseverance. They
lived as man and wife during several
years. Three children followed this se
cret union, and nothing for a time dis
turbed their happiness. Emma, always
grateful and warm-hearted, even at tbc
expense of pride, sent for her indigent
mother to reside with her, and treated
her with respect and kindness, in spite
of her servile condition.
In 17?0, after this interval ot domestic
happiness, constantly interrupted by the
remonstrances of his relations : Greville,
deprived of his salaries of office, and
pressed by accumulated debt, hesitated
between the necessity and sorrow of cast
ing off the woman he considered his wife.
Their mutual grief at the prospect of sep
aration poisoned the last days of their in
tercourse. At this crisis, Greville's uncle.
Sir William Hamilton, arrived in London.
He was unmarried, master of a large for
tune, and intended his nephew for his
heir. But his aristocratic consequence
revolted from the idea of acknowledging
as his grand nephews the children of a
prostitute. lie refused either to consent
to the marriage of Grenvillc, or to pay
his debts ; the nephew saw no resource
but in the intercession of his mistress.
Emma, at his suggestion, attired hereself
in the garb of her infancy, and, in a stiff*
gown and straw hat, waited upon his
unclc. She threw herself at his feet, con
fessed her fault, shed tears as j>ersuasivc
as they were genuine, appealed to the
tender pledges of her love, and l*sought
Sir William to pardon the father and
mother, for the sake of the unfortunate
children. Her triumph was more signal
than she anticipated. The old man, fas
cinated by features and accents which
surpassed all he had ever looked on or
listened to, either in the classic master
pieces of Athenian statuary, er on the
voluptuous l>ards of the Italian opera
houses, yielded to the seductions which
had enhanced his nephew. The same
love which he had refused to understand,
revenged itself by reducing him to the
thraldom of Greville.
The beauty of Emma overjjowered him,
and, like one seized by sudden madness,
he forgot, after two interviews, his age,
his rank, his repugnance to matrimony,
her obscure birth and irregular life, the
mutual affection long subsisting between
her and her paramour, the living pledges
of their love, the scandal and infamy of a
traffic in female charms; and, finally,
purchased the possession of the venal
beauty by the discharge of his nephew'a
embarrassments. They were privately
married in London, and Sir William has
tened back to Naples with his prize,
leaving his union undeclared. Her beau
ty dazzled Italy as it had previous! v fas
cinated England. But the knowledge of
her avocation as a model, which could not
be concealed, and rumor of the shame
less bargain between the uncle and
nephew, preceded her to Naples. Thu
ambassador, to stifle these reports, and
re-establish his idol, was compelled to tho
ceremony of a public marriage. Scandal
disappeared before the rank and resist
less charms of the young ambassadress.
She was presented at Court, and at the
first glance won the admiration and en
thusiastic attachment of the Queen.
To say the least, it is generous to be
lieve that Nelson did not know the charm
ing Emma's antecedents. His sponta
neous love arose for Lady Hamilton, to
all appearance as distinct a being as could
be conceived from the ragged wanderer of
London streets, or tho woman who sat aa
a model of a Circe or a Bacchante. The
enchantress exercised a stern influence
over the conduct of Nelson?so stern,
that it left deep and everlasting shadows
en the splendid fame of the hero.
