In addition to all this, she could not be ignorant that her young husband degraded himself and dishonored her, as the young planters of the South were accustomed to degrade themselves, and dishonor their wives. I shall not dwell here upon what followed. The difference of opinion, or rather of feeling, upon this subject of slavery — so vital to them as slave-owners — ended at last in complete and bitter estrangement. A separation followed. Mrs. Kemble retired to the beautiful village of Lennox in Massachusetts, where she occasionally had the pleasure of associating with her children, and where she was the delight and ornament of a large circle. Nor was the public entirely deprived of the benefit of her talents. Inheriting from her father an amplitude of person which time did not diminish, she was no longer fitted to resume her place upon the stage. She has given, however, as every one knows, series of readings from Shakespeare and other authors, in the principal cities of the U

This is another example of the manner in which the devil sometimes overreaches himself. George Thompson to W. L. Garrison. London, Feb. 5, 1863. Ms. and Lib. 33.34. Since I last addressed you, I have attended meetings in the following places, viz.: Sheffield, Heywood, Dumfries, Kilmarnock, Greenock, Dumbarton, Paisley, Glasgow, Stirling, Perth, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Galashiels, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bristol, Bath, Stroud, Kingswood, and London.

ns of Sir Walter Scott, and made an excursion to Abbotsford. He was in Edinburgh nine days, meeting some of its most famous men; dining with Sir William Hamilton and Sir John Robison, Secretary of the Royal Society, enjoying the society of Jeffrey, who was assiduous in attentions, and entertained by Sir James Gibson Craig at Riccarton House. Next he visited his friend Brown at Lanfire House, Kilmarnock, and joined in the rude festivities of a Highland wedding. While lodging at an inn at Dumbarton, he passed a day with Talfourd, then living in a cottage near by. He was the guest of John A. Murray, the Lord Advocate, at Strachur Park, near Inverary. He visited Stirling and Glasgow, and crossed to Dublin, where he was welcomed by Lord Morpeth, then Chief Secretary of Ireland, and received civilities from Thomas Lefroy, M. P. for the University. The record of this part of his journey is not complete, none of his letters between Oct. 7 and Oct. 24 being preserved, except a brief one

Enclosed is an autograph of Sir Walter Scott, given me by Sir John Robison, the Secretary of the Royal Society at Edinburgh, of which Scott was President. I am glad Mrs. Story is so well, and hope I shall not be forgotten in your house; and am, As ever, most affectionately yours, Charles Sumner. To George S. Hillard. Dumbarton, Oct. 1, 1838. I now write you, my dear Hillard, from the foot of the far-famed Dumbarton Rock, which has withstood sieges without number and witnessed so many deeds of chivalry. It is a huge hunk of stone, precisely like the picture above, Referring to a vignette at the top of the sheet. with sides nearly perpendicular.

On his return from Scotland he visited Lord Brougham at his seat near Penrith, William E. Forster at Burley, Wharfedale, the Earl of Carlisle at Castle Howard (whom he met for the first time after an interval of fifteen years,) and Lord Hath Castle; duke and duchess crossed the loch with me and said good-by most cordially and kindly; took the stage-coach, and sat on the box by a most communicative coachman to the head of Loch Goil; then by steamer into Loch Long; then the Clyde to Dumbarton, where I stopped to visit James Stirling at Cordale House; his carriage and servants were waiting for me; he has just written a clever book entitled Letters from the Slave States. Pleasant evening. October 25. Mr. Stirling lent me his carri

e "depositaries," as they are styled, of the Confederate Government, have contracted for a large vessel of 3,000 tons, which is to be built at Stockton. Messrs. Thompson Brothers are building on the Clyde a powerful iron-clad steam ram "for the Emperor of China," to be ready for sea on the 9th of April next. She is about 250 feet long, by 45 beams, and 35 in depth.--Her armor plates are from 4½ to 5 inches thick. Her engines will be of 500 horse power each. Mr. Peter Denny, of Dumbarton, has constructed two fine screw steamers. They are lying in the Clyde. Report of a somewhat authentic kind says one of them is partly owned by "the Chinese," and partly by individuals at Nassau, New Providence. It is publicly announced that she is soon to be employed between Nassau and Charleston. The term "Chinese" is in general use in the building yards of the Clyde and the Mersey to designate the Confederates, and the "Emperor of China" has no other signification in this connection

Thomas Bold is a shipper of Liverpool whose name loyal Americans should learn. He it was who built the Virginia as a Confederate pirate, Lieut. Maury furnishing the funds. Chappell, Jones & Co., of 28 Chappell street, recruited the crew from the Seamen's Home, telling them they were wanted for a trading vessel bound for Singapore. Peter Denny, of Dumbarton, had a good deal to do with this pirate, which carries nine new guns. When off the north coast of France the Virginia or Japan, (for that is the name under which she cleared for Singapore,) received ammunition and arms brought her by the British steamer Atar, and her crew were informed of her piratical object and the Confederate flag unfurled. Twenty-seven of the men refused to sign the articles, and were taken back to England by the Atar, while those who consented to serve received £10
