SIR ROBERT PEELLORD JOHN RUS SEL LORD MELBOURNE. i VA stranger siitmir m o u'nde sheath.' the rrallery of the House of Commons. toyard the 'end of some important de bate, has ! his aitention recalled by a sud den and strong 'sensation' 'n the house; a-universal buzz, a shifting of seats, a rjeneral couorh and clearing of the ti roajL preparatory, to all the members settling down to deep attention, and then a subse quent tot?il silence He looks around for thereason' of these unusual S jjns, arid and he observes a portly, well dressed man, with enormous watch seajs and; a oliiiteritio" cold guard, slowly taking off his; hat. aiid making manifest a head of rather red hair. The gentleman is slow and metho.djt'al inhis movements, for he feels thtre is no occasion for hurryr 'J'hTe is no chance of any small orator, precnaiit with a speech, aitemptiny; to seize upon the hotiS' and forstall his design.' Lord John Russell is prepar ing to take notes, and the lories are all getting their throats j into proper cheering trim." . . '. -I . ; ;; : ;.: The folio wyig is - the account rhicb the writer gives of Lord John Russell: "There he stands a little man in a brown coat, drab I trousers, and light waistcoat, about 45 years old, slightly made. He has taken off-his' hat and has risen to speak, and; the Babel of conversation, the shuffling, coughing!, laughing, apd talk ing is -a lfttle hushed, he commences, and you can just hear that he is speak ing. jt is ;an important .question he is '-about to answer, and the house at last be comes silent. Now you hear a weak voice hammering & stammering at every four or five sentences, and you wonder how a man without figure, voice, delive ry, or fluency could become the leading orator of the" House of Commons. But look over short reporters' notes and read wfraf he has said ; you will find no more eloquence to read than there was to hear ; but mark how closely to the point it was how exactly calculated to the occasion ''in st enough not an unnecessary, word; remember how cool and unrumed tne lit tle man replied to the abusive attack that called him up; with what tact he dispos ed of the motion he made without one word to the! merits, and without a snspK cion of excitement. Lord John has not the personal prowess of an Achilles, but he has the cool head and temperate judg ment which is far more useful in a mo dern ffeneral. He ha3 bten a long time climbing to his present altitude, nor would he ever have reached it had he, not been supported by the .vast influence of his family connexions. The Duke , of Bedford is one of the loftiest aristocrats ofthe most i aristocratic fraction ; for iri aristocratic feeling and exrlusiveness the whigs beat the toties hollow; therefore Lord John, who was the politician of the familv. entered the hou.se with advanta o-es which, if he had any ability at all. could not fdil to secure him success. It took Lord John some time to convince himself that he was not possessed of a vt'rv hiffh order of talent. He heroically added another to the little crowd pf trage dies that have been condemned, under the name of Don Carlos; he wrote a very rpndable biobranhv of his illustrious an cestor. Lord William Russell ; and h wroter'also, a work Upon th'Bruish con stitution, which onty proved that " the w hios of that day htid no opinion w hat ever of theiriown, and they stood like, a ship, with her sails all set, ready to run before any breeze that : popular f opinion might bio wiprovided always that .it bjew thuiTi into the nort of! ofEce." We chse with the author'? sketc h of Lord Mel bourne : ' Lord Melbourne, although no orator, can somHims rise with the 'occa sion ; and geuileiiianjy, as he usually is. confinino; himself, as he usually does, to the use of polished knightly arms, he can parrvsibe dagger, arid return the blow w hen? be finds himself forced to ruch an encounter. , Of all the antagonists of tfie present uay Brougham is unaoubt-dly and undoubted the one most to be feared. He bs introduced a style of tomahawk fighting into the House of Lords which the dignified occupants of that elysiu m of . repose have not witnessed for a long time. He Has interrupted their graceful holiday exercises pf Raited foils, with pip pf earnest conflict, and he has scandalised every occupant of the crimson cushions around j him, by the vulvar strength with which he strikes. iMeJbourne appeared an" easy victim, and Brougham unhappily has the organ of dtstructiveness very mountainous behind his ear, and oannot resist the temptaiion to a sacrifice. - When he taunted the premier with having a tongue attuned to courtly nirs, and with his ability to gloze, and to flatter, he could not have expected a reply. Yet a reply did come, and one so stinging and severe, that Brougham winced beneath it in visi ble agony, and rendered the highest tri bu'e to the" ability and power of his oppo nent by the rage and violence he exhibit ed in his answer. Great as is the power of Brougham, and bitter as is the feeling which he. n.ovv. evinces towards his quon dam colleagues, Melbourne never quails before him his sarcasm is usually quiet and polished, bul it tells immensely in the Lords. Every one there is ready to laugh against Brougham ; for the peers are something like frightened school boys exulting in their hearts at a sound thrash ing given to a bior strong.school fellow, who keeps them all, in terror of his fists." Exlrais from Mr Murry 's new look ori America. - ) The following is a sketch of a trip into Virginia His picture of Judge Marshall is true to the lile, and will be recognized by every admirer of that truly great man and profound jurist : "I had read so much extra.vagant praise of the beauty of Richmond, trmt I was somewhat disappointed ; nevertheless the vieyvv of the city, the rapids, interspersed with thousands of Lilliputian islands, and the wooded hills!-in the back ground, form a very pleasino; picture. The socie ty numbers among its members some of the most distinguished men in the Union; their friendly attention and hospitality to me warrant ;rny assertion, that 'their pri vate and social qualities are by no means inferior to their high public reputation. The names of Judge, Matshal, B. W. Leigh, and- Mr. Wickham, are familiar to all.. who have taken any interests in America law or politics. Judge Marshall, who is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and in fact, Lord Chancellor of the United States, is one of the most remarkable and distinguished men that has adorned the legislature of either shore of the Atlantic. He began life as a soldier ; during the American war, served in the militia, where he rose to the rank of general: after- which he (tame to the bar, and passed through all its graduations to his present high situa tion, which is. in my opinion, the proud est that an American can enjoy, not ex cepting that of president ; inasmuch as it is less subjecL " arbitno populans aurce : and.as the court over which he presides ! can affirm and decide what is and what is not the constitution of the United States. The Judge is a tall venerable old man about 80 years ofcasr his hair tied in a cue, according to olden custom, and with a countenance indicating that simplicity of mind and benignity which so eminent- v distinguished his character As a judge ie has no rival, his knowledire being pro ound, his judsrmenl clear and just, and his quickness in apprehending either the fallacy or truth of an argument as sur- prising. 1 nao tne pleasure oi several lonr convesations with him, and was struck with admiration at the extraordi nary union of modesty and power, gentle ness and force, which his mind displays. What he knows he communicates without reserve; he speaks with a clearness, of ex nressiom and in a tone of simple truth. -K;,-h mhels conviction : and on all subiects on which his knowledge is not certain, or which admit oi aouoi or argu ment, he delivers. his opinion with a can-i did diftidence, and with a deference tor thai of others, atnounting almost totfmi- dity ; still, it is a timidity wbicjwould disarm the most violent opponent; and win respect and credence from any auditor. 1 remember having often observed a similar characteristic attributecKto the immortal Newton. The simplicity of his character is not more singular than that of his life; r.nde. ostentation, and hypocrisy are-f f I ml mf " Greek tojltm; " and. he really lives up to the letter avnd spirit of republicanism, whilene maintains all the dignitj' due to his 'age and office. "His house is small and. more humble in appearance than those of the average of successful, lawyers, or merchants. 1 called three times upon him ; there is no bell at the door: once I turned the handle of it, and walked in unannounced ; on the other two occasions he had seen;me com ing, and had lifted the latch and received me at the door, although he was at the utne suffering from some very severe contusions received in the stage vhiletra veiling on that road from Fredericksburg to Richmond, which I have before des cribed. 1 verily believe there is not a particle of vanity iri his cdmnosition, un less it Iwof that venial and hospitable na ture which induces him to pride himself on giving lo his friends the best glass ot Maderia in Virginia. In short, blending. as he does, the simplicity or a chHd and the plainness of a republican with1 the i-.,v; onA hilitv of the' lawver. venerable dignity oi his appearance wouta not suffer H comparison with-that of the most respected and distinguished looking person in the British House ot Lords. "I spent a week very pleasantly in Richmond. At the tables of the three gentlemen before-mentioned, I received attentions more marked than I either ex pectetfor felt myself entitle to. Although the gay .season was over. the attractions presented by several of the ladies' drawing-rooms were such as to make me re gret the necessity for a speedy departure. Indeed, it is easy to observe tn Richmond the different shades of character between the belles of Virginia and those cf Neiv England ; if the tatter were more polish-' ed and weil informed, the former are more Irank, natural, and unrestrained, and the smile which lightens from the face of the one, warms and gladdens from that of the other. This difference would be more marked than it is were it not for the wide prevalence among parents in Virginia and both the Carolinas, of the custom of sending their daughters to be educated in New York and Boston, where they can have better; masters, and are re moved from the ft-brile danger of the Southern summer."' : Every reader will feel the' force ofthe following incident and admit the power with which the author 'has -narrated his anecdote : I "'While at Baltimore I strolled into the museum, to see the well known figures of Tarn O'Shanter 1 and Souter Johnnie, which were being exhibited. I was con templating them with the interest which the home recollections they suggested would naturally produce, heightened not a little by -the pure broad Scotch with which the exhibitor explained to the spec tators their distinctive peculiarities, when the grotesque group received an addition which 1 shall not easily forget.! Oh I how I longed for the pencil of a Wilkie, or rather of a Reynolds! Indeed the poetic contrast was stronger than that presented by the struggle between Trage dy and Comedy for the great actor; of the last century. How 1 do now long for the pen of the Wizard of the North, that I might delineate, for my own satisfac tion, or for: that of others, the scene, which, for a few moments, I enjoyed ! . It was simply this. The merry cobbler was sitting in stone, with ihe, broad Smile upon his countenance, and'the half emp tied can in his hand, when suddenly I observed a delicate round- arm passed around his nedc, and a profusion of dark tresses mingled with His gray locks 1 It was a young girl, of about sixteen or seventeen years, who, with the naivete o! youthful curiosity, had approached to take a nearer view of the jolly Souter. She was one of the most lovely creatures that ever I looked upon : her hair was dark and glossv : her eyes black and brilliant, -beneath eye brows most delicate- ly pencilled, and shaded by lids the fringe of which threatened to tickle her rosy cheek ; her nose was bf that fine correct form so distinctive of American beauty, II month rilnwfi two dimple4s that 1'syche might have slept in; her figure and her attittfae blended the playful grace of the child with thesyrnmetry of ripeningbloom : and thus,, in delighted and unronscious beautv, did she hang her arrh round John- ni.'c nuol; rsirinp n n d Innlii n t ft h i or r in . n.no- visacre, her arch eyes' beaming with - i :i r.'.ri LY- i- surnrise, anu . ner ium cnerry ups almost touching his rough. Cheek ! I could not c . .i t forbear gazing more intently pernaps than I ought; she happened to look up, and on encouSring my riveted eyes, she blushed deeply, and changed her posi- tion. JlSnedand left the room, for fear aughthould msir that lovely and perfect re of contrast !' nnfnl i Interrogatories Among a numbeT of amusing interrogatories which we noticed in a "down East" paper some time since, was the following : If the apple which William Tell shot from the head of his son. gave liberty to Switzerland, how ma ny bushels of the same size would it have taken to make a birrel of cider from the orchard?" If not as good we think the following will be found equally difficult of solution :" If the j experiments' of Dr. Jackson upon the currency of the country, have resulted in infinite mischief, how long will it take Dr IVart Buren to restore the business relations of the coun try to healthy action, by pursuing the practice of 'hU illustrious jredecessoi A.

The Educator is the title of a pub lication rt-cli I. v made ifr England undjjr the sanction1 of the General Society jof Education, and of which the object is to devise the best means of raising the so cial position of teachers. From thisUvoijk the following are extracts : What Education is Education does not mean merely reading and writing, nqr any degree, however considerable, of mere intellectual instruction. It is, in its lagest' sense, a process which extends from the commencement to the termina tion'of existence. A child comes into the world, and at once his education begins. Often at his birth the seeds of disease or deforrhky are sown in his constitution j; j and whOe he hangs at his mother s breast, he is imbibing impressions which will re main With him through life. During the first period of infancy, the physical framt expands and strengthens; but its delicate structure is influenced or good oreyiljby all surrounding circumstances cleanlif ness. light, air. foodf mtk.

Ev JSlrti gives a sensation, every gratinea or ae nied, every act, word; or. look of afTectionj; or of unkindness, has its effect, sometimes;; slight and imperceptible, sometimes obvi-; ous and permanent, in building up the human being; or rather, in determining the direction in which it will shoot uw and unfold itself. Through the different states of the infant, the chfld, the boy, the youth, the man, the developement of the physical, intellectual, and moral nature goes cn. the various circumstances of his condition incessantly acting upon him the healthfulriess or unhealthfulness of the air he breathes; the kind, and the suf ficiency of his food and clothing ; the de gree with which his physical powers are exeited ; the freedom with which his sen ses are allowed or encouraged to exercise themselves upon external objects; the ex tent to which faculties of remembering, comparing, reasoning, are tasked ;the sounds and sights of home, the moral ex ample of parents; the descipline of school; the nature and degree of studies, rewards, .and punishments; the personal qualities J of his companions; the opinions and.prac ticesof the society, juvenile and advanced, in which be moves: and the character of the nublic institutions under which he lives. The , successive operation of all these circumstances upon a human being Irom earliest childhood, constitutes his education ; an education which does not terminate with the arrival of manhood, but continues through life which is it self, upon the concurrent testimony" of re velation .1nd reason, a state of probation or education oVa subsequent and more glorious exjs.tence. Impo rirfnee of Physical Education. The influence of the physical frame upon the intellect, morals, and happiness of a human being, is now universally admit ted. Perhaps the extent of the subject is examined. The train of thought and feel ing is perpetually affected by the occur rence of sensations arising from the state of our internal Tjfgans. The connexion of high mental excitement with the phy sical system is obvious enough; when the latter is under tiie nmuence ot stimulants.

Without reference to its moral effects, bodillv nain forms a large proportion of the amount of human mi.se ry. It is therefore of the highest impor tance that a child should grow up sound and healthful in bodj, and with the utmost degree of muscuSar strength that educa tion can communicate- ' - Advantages and Strength,. ll should be an important' object in education to, give children a , considerable degree ot bodily strength. It'is not merely of-high utility for the laborious occupations in which most persons must pass their lives; it is often a great support to moral dispo sition. We should excite good impulses in children, and also give them the utmost Ltrength of mind and body to carry thexn !...

Flibti lefl4m. To ndvauceat once to the point, ; w should like to know from the Editor of the Standard, with what tort of grace Wr. Fisher can be set down at a Van Bureb man when he openly professed, in bis cir j. cular, in his public speeches, and his pri j vate conversation, that he was opposed la -Mr. Van Buren and to the leading meat ure of his administration, the Sub-Treasury scheme ! "How can be set him down as a Van Buren man, when be is ludbt ed for his election," to Whig votes? It i well kuown that in the county of Chatham there is a majority of at least 300 whiiV that in Randolph there is a TOajoritof ,"4 ; or 5b0 whigs, while iri Davidson, Rowan, and Davie there cannot be mustered mora than 3 or four hundred administration meii. Well but we suppose it would very wejl consist with the facile political virtue of ; the Editor of the Standard, that Mr. Iih- J er should surrender himswlf.to the custody of 14 or 1500 administration men, in t district comprehending greatly uio re ihqu 0000 voters. I j m But this is not all. At the last election which was held in this State, for member of the Legislature, thefe was no adminis tration ticket run in the counties of Row an, Davie and Dividson ; while in j Chat ham and Randolph, the Von Burea tick et was wofully beaten leaving the wheU Salisbury district without a single admih . istration member of the State Legislature. Yet this is the district that the Editor of the Standard, with all that preciienesi of ' political morality for which be is so admj rablv distinguished, would" wish to, set dow'n as having elected a Van; BuTeli man to represent it in the Corigress of ibir United States, while the gentlemati, too fwho is thus claimed in such m6dett and ;unpresurriing manner, has, in the most explicit and responsible manner, repeated-' lv. declared his opposition both io Mr. Van Buren and his favorite measure, th'f Sub-Treasury scheme. - . j j It is true, that Mr. Fisher may hare te ceived a greater nuniber of the d'H Stl ren votes, in his district, that Doctor Hen derson did ; inasmuch as the Istter gentle jman was much' more open and unequivo- '--ca in his declarations of hostility to the administration arid its measates than i vaa' . Mr. Fisher. But it is equally true, that', U large proportion of the votes receifed by Mr. Fisher were cast for him by tneni bers jol the whig party; olherwtse," could not have been elected ndr even jfiare made a decent run. It h equally true, that he would not have received thes whig vote, without the mosil posi live declarations, on his part, that he wia opposed to Mr. Van Buren and his rrtea sures. Mr Fisher, in additipc to all this, vVe are told, pledged himself, to the eveit of the Preich ntial election going to: th blouse of Representatives, to vote for that candidate for the Presidency who. might' receive the vote of th2 State. So if the administration party may lawfully claim a triumph in the election of Charles.Fish er, it is a triumph which has been achiev ed under false colors, and which is tim tu red; with deception and bad faith. : Massachusetts and the Pretidencf The Boston Courier in long and able ar tide, examines the pretensions of General Scott as a candidate for the Presidency arid adds the emphatic declaration.1 - ; "Of one thing we feel quite confident, and, however unwelcome tnt aeciarsuon may be, we have no hesitation in majcing it, that, if ii en Ay clat should nol Tf ceire the nomination of Ike Whig Nation sal Convention, the eUcloral me of Mai achusetls icill be obtained for : lUftTt Van Buren." ! . 1'; 1 The report of Committee to; the City rnrr!l of New-York, appointed to da termine the best mode of .improving 1H r?.r Denartraent of that city, recommend the general use of Hose Carts instead of Fire JEngines, as being more eiH:ient and economical.
