e, are likeliest to persist. Beside the imported romantic and legendary ballads, many songs and song-tales on the themes of broadside balladry of the last two centuries in England have currency in the United States, often in such disguised or modified form that their origin is no longer recognizable. Of this character is The Butcher boy, whose forsaken sweetheart hangs herself—a ballad related to the British A brisk young lover; also The Boston Burglar, or Charlie's Town—related to The Sheffield apprentice. To this same group belongs probably the confessions of Young McAffie, who poisoned his wife and her baby. The dying cowboy, despite its name, is ultimately imported. Still older is the ballad of the maidservant Betsy Brown, who is sold to Verginny by her mistress. An instructive instance of the migration of a song is offered by The Romish Lady, a story of a Protestant martyr, having considerable currency in the Central West. There lived a Romish lady Brought up in proper

iefly under it. . . . . September 28.—We intended to have left Wentworth House this morning, and, passing the day at Sheffield, about ten miles off, have proceeded on our journey to-morrow; but I found Lord Fitzwilliam had invited Montgomery, themall man, above sixty-five years old, rather feeble and sensitive, but good, kind, and benevolent, and greatly loved in Sheffield, where he has lived many years. He is a Moravian, and much interested in what relates to his sect and to Christianity.hatever he says, so that I was quite glad to talk with him. He told me, among other things, that Chantrey was born near Sheffield; that he knew him as quite a young man before he went to London; that he began in the country as a portrait-painter, anrly period. He told me, too, a good deal about Elliott, the author of the Corn Law rhymes, who is in the iron-trade at Sheffield, and who, it seems, has been these thirty years trying to obtain notice as a poet, but never succeeding until lately.

h pursued The path allotted him. How echoes yet each Western hill And vale with Channing's dying word! How are the hearts of freemen still By that great warning stirred! The stranger treads his native soil. And pleads, with zeal unfelt before, The honest right of British toil, The claim of England's poor. Before him time-wrought barriers fall, Old fears subside, old hatreds melt, And, stretching o'er the sea's blue wall, The Saxon greets the Celt. The yeoman on the Scottish lines, The Sheffield grinder, worn and grim, The delver in the Cornwall mines, Look up with hope to him. Swart smiters of the glowing steel, Dark feeders of the forge's flame, Pale watchers at the loom and wheel, Repeat his honored name. And thus the influence of that hour Of converse on Rhode Island's strand Lives in the calm, resistless power Which moves our fatherland. God blesses still the generous thought, And still the fitting word He speeds And Truth, at His requiring taught, He quickens into deeds.

s unhappiness. The young student disclosed to her, without reserve, the state of his feelings and the extent of his fears. She told me, says the Doctor, that she had had peculiar exercises respecting me since I had been in the family; that she trusted I should receive light and comfort, and doubted not that God intended yet to do great things by me. After pursuing his studies for some months with the Puritan philosopher, young Hopkins commenced preaching, and, in 1743, was ordained at Sheffield, (now Great Barrington,) in the western part of Massachusetts. There were at the time only about thirty families in the town. He says it was a matter of great regret to him to be obliged to settle so far from his spiritual guide and tutor; but seven years after he was relieved and gratified by the removal of Edwards to Stockbridge, as the Indian missionary at that station, seven miles only from his own residence; and for several years the great metaphysician and his favorite pupil enjoy

ality, which, fortunately for the Confederate artillery, compensated for the carelessness in the manufacture of cannon and the inexperience of those who directed the operations. The Blakeley guns, on the contrary, which had come from England, were not only constructed of superior materials, but with the greatest care, and were held in high repute, even in England, for their excellent qualities. Before landing at Charleston they had passed through many hands. The metal was prepared at Sheffield, where the Swedish iron, after having been melted in the furnace and then run into troughs (creusets), was then cast into rings, which were forged by the immense trip-hammers of Firth. Then taken to London, in the Blakeley shops these rings were put together, carefully fitted, turned, bored, and finally rifled; they thus combined the strength of a homogeneous metal like soft steel with the perfection of construction of cannon composed of several pieces. Those of large calibre were loaded

the Secessionists, and none here, even those whose sympathies are with the Northern States, attempt to justify the course which the Protectionists in Congress have pursued.' In Manchester the proposed increase of duties on cotton goods in the United States is causing great attention-- in Newcastle it is considered that it will be impossible to do business with the United States on the terms set out in the Tariff, while the business with the Southern States is described as satisfactory. In Sheffield considerable apprehension is felt as to the effect of the new tariff on the steel trade. In Wolverhampton the anticipation that the Tariff has become law darkens the already gloomy prospects of the iron trade.-- In that respect it has done its worst, but it is destined. if we mistake not, to be the fruitful mother of other disruptions. What interest have the great agricultural Western States, for instance, in being made tributaries to the iron-masters of Pennsylvania, or the cotton-spin

A man named Samuel W. Elrod accidentally shot and killed himself at the City Hotel, New Orleans, one day last week. Garibaldi was one of the first to sign the Italian protest, originated by Mazziul, against the French occupation of Rome. A pretty woman's soul sometimes sits and looks out through a bright eye, like a purring cut out of a sunny window. An old buchelor says that the talk of women is usually about men — even their laugh is but "He! he! he!" In a lecture on the Turkish bath, Dr. Thudicum asserted that the human body can bear 300 degrees of heat. It is stated that recently one firm in Sheffield manufactured in the space of three months no less than 280 tons of steel. Gov. Pettus, of Mississippi, was married on the 15th inst., to Miss Susan Howell, of Tuscaloosa, Ala. On last Friday the freight on wheat from Chicago to Buffalo rose from 7 to 14 cents per bushel. Grand juries, it is said, are about to be abolished in Great Britain.

European news. The speech of Lord Palmerston, at Sheffield, contains little more than was given in the telegraphic summary of it. The following extract is its conclusion, after speaking of the situation of the Government relative to the distress of the people: Yet, greatly as they commiserated that distress greatly as they admired the manly fortitude with which it had been endured, anxious as they must all be to relieve it, he was persuaded that the good sense of the people of England, and the proper feeling even of the sufferers themselves, must acknowledge that the Government were wise in not endeavoring to aim at the relief of that distress by measures of war, which, so far from mitigating, would only have aggravated the evil. The Government had before thought it their duty to advise their sovereign to observe a strict and rigid neutrality in that most unhappy conflict now waging in North America. (Cheers.) It was indeed painful to witness the loss of life, the wastin
