Nobody was at table but the Prussian Minister, Colonel Mure, Monsignor Wiseman, and Lady Westmoreland, who, if not a very gentle person, is full of talent, spirit, and talk. . . . Afterwards we weount Ludolf, Sismondi, Madame d'orloff,—the wife of the reigning favorite of the Emperor Nicholas,—the Abbe Stuart, Monsignor Wiseman, and Mr. Hare.

aming out of the earth, Longfellow presented me with a goodly sample of the red and golden leaves of the previous autumn, which, although dry and faded, still glowed like gems; these leaves I brought away with me, and they now form a garland round the poet's portrait; a precious souvenir of that morning passed at Craigie House. My Reminiscences, by Lord Ronald Gower, American edition, II. 227, 228. Lord Ronald, Gower then quotes the words used long since in regard to Longfellow by Cardinal Wiseman,—words which find an appropriate place here. Our hemisphere, said the Cardinal, cannot claim the honor of having brought him forth, but he still belongs to us, for his works have become as household words wherever the English language is spoken. And whether we are charmed by his imagery, or soothed by his melodious versification, or elevated by the moral teachings of his pure muse, or follow with sympathetic hearts the wanderings of Evangeline, I am sure that all who hear my voice

Latest from Europe. The latest dates from Liverpool are to the 5th instant. Great Britain. The news received from America per steamship China, indicating a continued war in the United States, has imparted a decided improvement to the cotton market, and rather unfavorably affected United States securities.
