(lis author of "a Wik on annus" nJ vurious ollior facet iousTirodRetions of ilio same stamp, presented liltiiiell lor the rirrt timn, lat evening, before en Atnciioau audience, I oiiik'J of Ihe liloruij1, fmlnoinilito ami reli-gmus circle of this metropolis, in the llwt of his earies of lectures on the Humorous Writers nf Cu.en Anne's AJeign." In compliances with a r'set made on his hehalf, it lir-t through tlio n.wicpora, and then through Uw gentlemen he introduced liiin evening, refrain fiv.w giving a literal re pert of his lectures, hut II content ourselves by presenting to our readers some of the salient points in bis tlis-enuts.

Tin humorous wrilr who formed lie text for tlii initiatory disoeirse, was the celebrated reverend wit, lauieinM o4 politkal snar lor, Dean Swift. Tha mor defunct author of "Gulliver Travel," mii the "1. spier' Letters," if lie could have. Vnr1 th character yen by Lira the uuiib hingi-aplier of modern day would bavef.lt far Gem by that individual. Th Dean's public and private char acter wal held up to acorn and contumely by the lecturer ''ail Lit fm observed, learrie and conned by rote," for the edification of the au.

ditnee, and the principle of nil morlnir nisi bemum entirely repudiated. Wo cannot say but that In moat respect the fact and deductions presented were undeniable; but there ia something repulsive notwithstanding, in dragging to light again acta which had better bo forgotten, and placing in the public pillory of acorn a groat genius whom the ehadows of the grave have enshrouded for generations. Huntware, it would appear waaritfhl, when be mates Mure Antony say iu his oration over the dud Iwdy of Cuisnr, evil that men do Uvea after them, the good ia oft interred with tlicir bonus." The leotttrer commenced by sketching the early life of Swift. He waa bora in Iltiuliu, in No. 1 Hoey'i court, in 1C7, but was no more nn 1 Irishman than a child bora in India of English jurintsii i Hindoo.

occupied the position tn chaplain and secretary in (he family of Sir William Temple, receiving the munificent sabry of 20 a year, and a eit at the upper sevv.u ts table. Discontented with bis menial condition, he threw up his employment and return I to Dublin, where he took ciders in the church. But he grew tired of this life too, and resumed his former position with Sir William, exhibiting the utmost servility of character, bwifl had many biogrophers. Scott had written a lifo of him; so had l)r. Johneon but thtit honest, slur dy, old Englishman despised him, and was des cribed by Dr.

Wylie, of Dublin, as tlio most malignant of his It is not easy, said the lecturer, in explanation, for English critics to please Iiihmen, or even try to do so. Would his audience like to have been intimate with Swift I He himself would have delighted in being the call-boy to Shskspeare, to run his errands for liiin, and have the privilege of gming on his so rcne countenance. With Fielding, or Johnson, or Goldsmith, he would have felt happy but not uwuuowiib ne latter, said lie. II you were liia equal, would have scorned and insulted you; if.you met him liko a man, lie would have quail- al before yon, and years alter writleuan epigram against you. His servility was so boisterous, ihat it looked like independence.

Swift was one of the best characters history afforded, "To point a moral or adorn a ta'a." lie was a literary highwayman a McIIealb, aally out to snatch the prize he was so ambitious fr a good living. ftut the councillors of Queen Anne were right when they said that the author of "a tale iu a tub" was not the man to be muds a bishop. Digressing to a delineation of the. character of Temple, and thence again to the eer vility of Swift, he said that no prostration could fall lewer than his no slave bend more humbly. His hand was constantly stretched out to relieve the poor, but hs always insulted men as he served them.

The" Dean could not be an Irishman, as no Irishman ever gave but with a kind hand and a kind heart. The sincerity of Swift's religion was animadverted on the Queen, and the world were perfectly right in mistrusting his religion, liy his priestly vows he bound hinndf to hypocrisy for life. He had igraved over his ashes the words "laaa indigialio," but what right had the wretch under that stone, waiting lor the judgment of ail outraged God what right had ho to be angrv. Swift always raged against marriage and diildicn. lie, elite the nursery with the tread and gaiety of an ogre.

In his diary he mocks wlmthe calls "a modest proposal" in time of f.mine, lie says that an American informed him that a young, healthy child, was delicious, wholesome food, whether atswed, roasted, baked, or boilid, and served equally well in a raugouL I lie lecturer paid an eloquent tribute to Stella, apostrophizing her thus: "Pure and affectionate soul, tender creature, hoots it to you now that the whole world loves and deplores yon. Scaree any man ever thought of that ave who did not cast a flower upou it, and add an epitaph, fjeutlo ladv, you have hud millions ol manly hearts mourning for you. From geneiation to g-neralion they lake up the food tradition of your beauty, and watch and follow your tragedy. Mr. Tkackerar sketched in el quent teiius, the love of Stella and Swift, and his p.vsinn, alio, for that other woman, Vanessa.

Swift broke away from his fastest fii. nd, Sheridan, and shrunk away from his admirer, l'ope. lie wai always alone, gnashing in dullness, except when Stella 'a sweet emile came and shone upon him. Thinking of that man's genius and awlul downfall, was like thinking of an empire fallen. There were, he concluded by saying, other great names to mention, but me au (ntal and so gloomy as Swill's.

Tnus ended the first of Mr. Tiiaekeray's lectures, of which we have only given such a sketch as lo make its general outline and stylo of comjwitiou understood. It was listened to throughout with much apparent interest, though the audience gave fewet maiks of approbation than we are accustomed lo ses be4oed on some of ouremiiieut Iwcturerv At its conclusion, a large number of persons, including, of coiir-e, some ladies, waited to obtain introduction to Mi Thackeray, who is a grave, q' id looking person. age, of tall stature and dignified lejoi uncut, whose spectacles on nose, prematurely gmy hair, and iomewhat solemn tone of voice, are not what mighty expected in one having such a perception of the ridiculous.

i.ipenstx riie.Ytater according to the accounts of the City Comptroller and the Water have, during their investigation incurred au expense of Fatal Mistake at the Massacutsettl Humeral Hospital. The. Boston Traveller contains a long document from Dr. C. Warren, in relation to a death by chloroform, accidentally administered at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

It appears that chlorio or sulphuric ether is used in the hospital in preference to chloroform. Three operations were perfurmed on Saturday, Oct. 30. The operation was performed, aud the patient escaped without any other inconvenience than a slight soreness of the throat. The second case was for a tumor on the right side of the face.

During the operation the patient can very near dying, but was saved. The third case, which proved fatal, was that of a young man, nvout twenty years old, a native of Ireland who had his arm entangled in the machinery ol a hark null about nve days belore. tie refused to have it amputated until mortification had tak en place. On Saturday the operation was performed. Etherisation was carefully made, aud the operation was accomplished in about two minutes.

Just as it was finished it was parceled that his pulse was rapidly failing. Every ef fort was made to save him, but the patient breathed his last without au effort or convulsion. Dr. Warren adds: "On the following morning an examination of the body was proposed, but friends arriving, objected, and although we urged the importance of ascertaining the immediate cause of his death, they continued to object decidedly. Immediately after the occurrence of alarming symptoms in this case, it was discovered that the substance whijh had been used was not chloric ether, but chloroform and not till then did we understand the extraordinary pbenomeua which presented themselves in this aud the preceding cases.

This patient died with the usual phenomena of chloroform poison. Business Cabds, The Grand Jury of the United States Court in Philadelphia, has made the following presentment in relation to business card representing the United States coin There is one subject in connection with the forging of coins of the United States, to which the attention of ths Grand Jury has been especially directed. It is to the various tokens made of the Biz-', and in lhe simultitude of the coins of the United States, which are put into circulation as business cards, by persons of respectable character. The Grand Jury cannot but look upon the countenance of this practice as highly pernicious, and calculated to be made the meaus of great and serious wrongs upon the ignorant aud unsuspecting pojtions of the community. One instance has been brought to the notice of the jury, where oue these busiuess tokens, in size and figure resembling the half eagle, issued by a business firm in New York, was actually post upon a child attending a store in the lower pait of ths county of Philadelphia.

There cannot be any doubt that passing these business tokens upon the ignorant and unwary as genuine coins is within the act of Congress punishing those who pa counterfeit money. It is unquestionably within the moaning of the law, and those who issue ths tokens furnish tho opportunity to the unprincipled to use them for purposes of fraud. Hence the Grand Jury respecttully recommend thatjthe practice alluded to should he discontinue'! in future, und that if it be not voluntarily abandoned, Con grew should pass some law to meet the exigen cies of the cave. Coiik. Many persons see corks used daily without knowing from whence com those useful materials.

Coik are cut from large slabs of the cork tree, a species of oak, which grows wild in tho southern countries of hurope. the tree is stripped of its lark at about sixteen years old but before stripping it off, the tree is not cut wn, as in tho case of the oak. It is taken while the tree is growing, and the operation may be repeated every nine or ten years the quality of the bark continuing each time to improve the a of the tree iuoreases. When the bark i takeii otf, il is singed in the fumes of a strong fire, and after being soaked for a considerable time iu water, it is placed under heavy weight in order to render it straight. Its extreme lightness, the case with ahich it cm be compressed, and is elasticity, are prxqirrtirs so peculiar to this sub-tance, that no effectual (uUliiute for it lias ben discovered.

Mamlacuiitcr. A man named Weeka, of Saw aletn, was killed at Orange, in Iranklin Ciunty, on Thursday night, by a man uatuel Whitney, in tlie course of a dispute in re-Card to a proposed wrratliug match between the to partis. Whitney was arretted, and 1 now i jtil at Greenfield. i I Between the ruura of two aud four, T. no leas than six of these majestic leviathans of the deep, took their departure for different destinations on (his and ths European continent We stood for an hour on Pier No, 4, N.

and witnessed tho departure four of them at the same time, within a stone's throw ol each other. What an exciting scene I How little we, who only look on, know of tho heart throbbing, the ailent sorrow, and the outgushing anguish experienced on the sailing days of ocean steamers. At half past 2, P. the wha ves in this section of the city wore literally jammed with baggage, and passengers accompanied willi sorrowing friends Here, resting oa the arm of a husband about to leavo for California, stood a weeping wife, taking as il were, the last sad louk into tho face of the dearest object to her on earth. Two urchins, dinging to her clothe, stand playfully laughing at the vapor as it whiz-sea lorth in cloudy volumes from its iron confines beneath decks, utterly unconscious of tho heaving of the mothen heart, or the manly stiivings of an affectionate husband and kill i father to hide the filling tear.

There, are two sisters, carrying a brother's trunk lo a southern boat, while ho accompanied them with the rest of his bainrane. They set down the baggage and all sit down together, aud now comes the parting. The three have been preserv-el through long and stormy passage over ti broad ocean, and now he leaves for a southern put for employment, while tho sisters stop in N'jw York. Bui we mu.t forbear. The partirg enne, and saddened hearts and weeping liieiids were seen in all directions, wending their way nie, as if returning from a funeral.

How little we, who have, in our whole lifetime, scarcely been away from the city iu which wc were born, know of the bitter anguish felt at puting for a long season with dear friends. At 6 minutes to 3 o'clock, the tolling bells gave the signal of a readiness to depart, and at precisely 3 o'elock, foiirot those majeslio monsters of li ocean, ns if anxious to be freed from terra firma, and to strive for the mastery in their ow natie elemei burst forth from their moorings at ti same moment, and in the next moment the boi nr ing cannon from off the forward decks and the crceking of the steering wheels on deck, told us that they were all pointing their proud bows to the "ocean wave." It seemed to us all a dream. We uirncd around and we found oursclf in the midst of a group of mourners. Oh, how sad Jening is to part with friends, especially when there is little or no hope of seeing them again. We saw the deck of the Union, Charleston, our friend, T.I.

Johnson, his amiable lady, and the ly of Dr. imes MMIer, all of this city. They to St. Augustine, in pursuit of health. It ems but a month siuce wo witnessed the nup tials of Mr.

and Mrs. Johnson, and then he wa picture of health, but our friend, Dr. Bridge who, with his family, accompanied them to the boat, informed us that Mr, J. was in Mutch lost taken with bleeding from the lungs, mid since has had severai spells of bleeding; he became quite weak, and was informed by his physician that all hope of his recovery Acre would be vain. Hopes are, howerer, entui-talneJ thai the sulnbrious climate and balmy air of Florida will to far induce recovery as to permit him to return to his friends again in May next.

Ths Liquor Law im Nkw IIami-siiieb Onnion TUESiTtmoR Cot'nr Ji nots. The following the opinion of Judge Bell, Eastman, Gilchrist Woods, of the Superior Court, respecting the constitutionality of the Liquor bill 1st. The bill confers on justices au extent of authority the constitution does not sanction, par ticularly in respect to the power it gives them to pronounce a sentence of forfeiture of liquors seized for the violation of the law. 2b Ths bill provides for no trialbyjury, or appeal and trial by jury before a higher unt The constitution rovide that in nil controvoisie cincerning properly, the parties have a rig tt) trial by jury. 3.1.

The seventh section of the act conflicts directly with the constitution of the United Slates. This section provides that no action can bo maintained in any court in the State, either in whole in part, for intoxicating or spirituous liquor sold in any other State or county. 'o law of this Stato can deprive a citizen of tho United Stales of the right to enforce a claim of debt before the tribunals of this State. 4th. Liquors are property.

The law, in re. cognizing them as such iu the fourth section, when in the hands of town authorities for sale and mechanical use, cannot, by the force of a few phrases, make property lose its character when custody. filh.

The annexed coricspond- nce between the Secretary of the rul of Cuba and Lieutenant Davenport of the Cmctnt City, shows conclusively that the au-ihoritics of Cuba havo allowed the United States Mail Steamer C'reteenl City to enter the port of Havana (or the last time, us the letter says, if I'urser Smith remains on board.

Tho reply by Lieut. Davenport rs direct and to tho point, and he evidently is acting under the written instructions of his owners. That tho vessel will return to Havana with the obnoxious personage on board, we have not a shadow of doubt in our own mind. The next question to be considered, is, if she does, what will be the result? Will she be fired into and sunk is asked on every hand. To this question we can only answer, that it would be wholly aguinst the poLcy and interest of the Spaniel? Government to permit of such an outrage, nod we think thatthoy will tiud aonie excuse for admitting the steamer to enter Havana on her return trip.

If not, the vessel may be kept out of port by threats of being sunk. And if this threat is made, we hope and trust that the Coiusnander of tho Crticent City will have such instructions that he will enter, or at tempt it, Bt all hazards. If a Spanish vessel of war does fire into ni sink tho vessel, there will bo suuh a howl go up from the throats 0f American freemen as will make tho Island of Cuba tremble as if shook by an eaithquakc. We trust, however, that the vessel will be permitted to enter.
