"They were gentlemen who died for their king, Sir. My dear brother George and I always said, we would salute 'em when we saw 'em," Mr. Warrington said.

grandeur, the young gentleman bade his talkative host good-night.

The next morning, Mr. Warrington, arrayed in his brocade bed-gown, took his breakfast, read

"You'll have a mob at your heels if you do, the newspaper, and enjoyed his ease in his inn. Sir," said the alarmed lawyer. He read in the paper news from his own country.

"Confound the mob, Sir," said Mr. Harry, loftily, but the passers-by, thinking about their own affairs, did not take any notice of Mr. Warrington's conduct; and he walked up the thronging Strand, gazing with delight upon all he saw, remembering, I dare say, for all his life after, the sights and impressions there presented to him, but maintaining a discreet reserve; for he did not care to let the lawyer know how much he was moved, or the public perceive that he was a stranger. He did not hear much of his companion's talk, though the latter chattered ceaselessly on the way. Nor was Mr. Draper displeased by the young Virginian's silent and haughty demeanor. A hundred years ago a gentleman was a gentleman, and his attorney his very humble servant.

And when he saw the words, Williamsburg, Virginia, June 7th, his eyes grew dim somehow. He had just had letters by that packet of June 7th; but his mother did not tell how, "A great number of the principal gentry of the colony have associated themselves under the command of the Honorable Peyton Randolph, Esquire, to march to the relief of their distressed fellow-subjects, and revenge the cruelties of the French and their barbarous allies. They are in a uniform ; viz., a plain blue frock,. nankeen or brown waistcoats and breeches, and plain hats. They are armed each with a light firelock, a brace of pistols, and a cutting sword." "Ah, why ain't we there, Gumbo?" cried out Harry.

"Why ain't we dar ?" shouted Gumbo. "Why am I here, dangling at women's trains ?" continued the Virginian.

"Think dangling at women's trains very pleasant, Master Harry!" says the material

The chamberlain at the Bedford showed Mr. Warrington to his rooms, bowing before him with delightful obsequiousness, for Gumbo had already trumpeted his master's greatness, and Mr. Draper's clerk announced that the new-istic Gumbo, who was also very little affected comer was a "high fellar." Then, the rooms surveyed, the two gentlemen went to Leicester Field, Mr. Gumbo strutting behind his master; and, having looked at the scene of his grand-privateer. sire's wound, and poor Lord Castlewood's tragedy, they returned to the Temple to Mr. Draper's chambers.

Who was that shabby-looking big man Mr. Warrington bowed to as they went out after dinner for a walk in the gardens? That was Mr. Johnson, an author, whom he had met at Tunbridge Wells. "Take the advice of a man of the world, Sir," says Mr. Draper, eying the shabby man of letters very superciliously. "The less you have to do with that kind of person the better. The business we have into our office about them literary men is not very pleasant, I can tell you." "Indeed!" says Mr. Warrington. He did not like his new friend the more as the latter grew more familiar. The theatres were shut. Should they go to Sadler's Wells? or Marybone Gardens? or Ranelagh? or how? "Not Ranelagh," says Mr. Draper; "because there's none of the nobility in town;" but, seeing in the newspaper that at the entertainment at Sadler's Wells, Islington, there would be the most singular kind of diversion on eight handbells by Mr. Franklyn, as well as the surprising performances of Signora Catherina, Harry wisely determined that he would go to Marybone Gardens, where they had a concert of music, a choice of tea, coffee, and all sorts of wines, and the benefit of Mr. Draper's ceaseless conversation. The lawyer's obsequiousness only ended at Harry's bedroom door, where, with haughty

by some further home news which his master read; viz., that The Lovely Sally, Virginia ship, had been taken in sight of port by a French

And now reading that the finest mare in England, and a pair of very genteel bay geldings, were to be sold at the Bull Inn, the lower end of Hatton Garden, Harry determined to go and look at the animals, and inquired his way to the place. He then and there bought the genteel bay geldings, and paid for them with easy generosity. He never said what he did on that day, being shy of appearing like a stranger; but it is believed that he took a coach and went to Westminster Abbey, from which he bade the coachman drive him to the Tower, then to Mrs. Salmon's Wax-work, then to Hyde Park and Kensington Palace; then he had given orders to go to the Royal Exchange; but catching a glimpse of Covent Garden, on his way to the Exchange, he bade Jehu take him to his inn, and cut short his enumeration of places to which he had been by flinging the fellow a guinea.

Mr. Draper had called in his absence, and said he would come again; but Mr. Warrington, having dined sumptuously by himself, went off nimbly to Marybone Gardens again, in the same noble company.

As he issued forth the next day, the bells of St. Paul's, Covent Garden, were ringing for morning prayers, and reminded him that friend Sampson was going to preach his sermon. Harry smiled. He had begun to have a shrewd and just opinion of the value of Mr. Sampson's sermons.

From Utah our intelligence is confused and contradictory. Governor Cumming, under date of May 2, describes his journey from the camp at Fort Bridger to Salt Lake City. He left the camp on the 5th of April, accompanied by Colonel Kane, as guide, and two servants. He was every where received and recognized as Governor of Utah, and upon approaching the city was met by an escort, including the Mayor and other municipal authorities, who conducted him to lodgings which had been prepared for him. Brigham Young imme diately waited upon him, and promised him every facility for the performance of his official duties. The Territorial seal and other public property were tendered to him. He says that the public records were found in perfect preservation, and the public property generally was in good condition. Hav ing been informed that a number of persons who were desirous of leaving the Territory were prevented from doing so, he issued a proclamation announcing that he assumed the protection of all such persons, and requested that they would communicate to him their names and residences. The names of 56 men, 33 women, and 71 children were sent to him as desiring protection. Of these the majority were of English birth, who stated that they left the congregation from a desire to improve their circumstances. Leading men among the Mormons had promised to assist them in leaving the country. The Governor describes a meeting at the Taber

He was introduced to the assembly by Brigham Young as Governor of Utah, and proceeded to address the audience, informing them that he had come to vindicate the national sovereignty, and to secure the supremacy of the Constitution and the laws.

Between three ranted by no new instructions from Government, but arose from the wish of the officers to obtain the prize-money resulting from the capture of slavers. Orders were promptly forwarded for the cessation of their offensive proceedings; and from the proceedings in Parliament, elsewhere noted in this Record, it is apparent that the British Government has no intention of advancing any offensive pre-probation.

A new gold-field, said to be of extraordinary richness, has been discovered upon Frazer's River, in the British possessions. This river empties into the Gulf of Georgia, a branch of Puget's Sound near the boundary between our territory and the British Possessions. At the distance of 160 miles from its mouth, in latitude 52° 30', or some 300 miles further north than Quebec, it receives Thompson's River, a considerable stream flowing from the east. The gold-diggings are at the junction of these rivers. According to report, this new gold-field rivals in richness and extent those of California and Australia. A large emigration from California had proceeded to this region, many of whom encountered great hardships in endeavoring to make their way to the mines. The Governor of the colony had issued a proclamation forbidding all persons to enter the river for the purpose of trade, without a license from the Hudson's Bay Company, under penalty of seizure and forfeiture.

He congratulates the country upon "the auspicious issue" of the difficulties, but adds: “I regret the necessity which compels me to mingle with my congratulations the announcement of a fact which will occasion great concern: The people, including the inhabitants of the city, are moving from every settlement in the northern part of the Territory. The roads are every where filled with wagons loaded with provisions and household furniture, the women and children, often without shoes or hats, driving their flocks they know not where. They seem not only resigned, but cheerful. It is the will of the Lord;' and they rejoice to exchange the comforts of home for the trials of the wilderness. Their ultimate destination is not, I apprehend, definitely fixed upon. 'Going south' seems sufficiently definite for most of them; but many believe that their ultimate destination is Sonora. Young, Kimball, and most of the influential men, have left their commodious mansions, without apparent regret, to lengthen the long train of wanderers. The masses every where announce to me that the torch will be applied to every house, indiscriminately, throughout the country, so soon as the troops attempt to cross the mountains. I shall follow these people, and endeavor to rally them." The Governor concludes his dispatch by announcing that he should restrain all operations of the military for the present, which would probably enable him to receive additional instructions from the Government. Upon the reception of this dispatch, the President transmitted it to Congress, with a Message, dated June 10, announcing that there was reason to believe that the difficulties in Utah had terminated, and that there would be no occasion to make any appropriations for calling into service the two regiments of volunteers authorized to be raised for the purpose of quelling disturbances in the Territory of Utah. Private letters from the camp, however, give a much less favorable aspect to the affairs of Utah. According to these, Governor Cumming has been overreached by the Mormons, whose object is to gain time to gather their crops. Mr. Bernhisel, the delegate to Congress from Utah, has issued a card asking the public to "distrust the letters with which the journals abound, purporting to come from the station of the army of Utah, which are composed without any regard to truth of statement by those whose personal interests will be promoted by our country's persevering in the wicked enterprise denominated "the Mormon War. Can they hope," he asks, "after we have entirely aban

There is imminent danger of a general outbreak of hostilities among the Indians of the north. A detachment of troops consisting of four hundred men, under command of Colonel Steptoe, is reported to have been attacked on the Snake River, near its junction with the Columbia, by fifteen hundred savages, and totally defeated, with the loss of three officers and fifty men. The attack was made while the troops were crossing the river. They lost every thing except sixty pack-mules, and were compelled to fall back with the utmost precipitation.

SOUTHERN AMERICA.

From Mexico we continue to receive tidings of anarchy and confusion, but their general tenor is unfavorable to the prolonged existence of the Zuloaga Government, which is reduced to the utmost straits for want of money. In the capital a forced loan was imposed upon foreigners. The French Minister appears to have acquiesced in this. Mr. Otway, the British Minister, declined to agree to it until he had consulted with his Government. Our Minister, Mr. Forsyth, refused his assent, and formally protested against the contribution being exacted from American citizens. Juarez, the "constitutional President," was at Vera Cruz, which still held out against the Government of Zuloaga. From the various States we have vague and contradictory intelligence of military operations being undertaken by the two parties; but the contest was feebly waged in consequence of the exhaustion of both.

From Central America the only news of importance relates to the efforts made by various parties to secure the Transit Route across the Isthmus. Martinez, the President of Nicaragua,

prevent the abuse of the American flag, which had occasioned the difficulty. Mr. Disraeli said the best dispatch that could be sent to America was the calm and dispassionate spirit in which the House of Commons was discussing the question. He was not annoyed that American ships of war had been sent into the Cuban waters, because they would then see for themselves what had taken place. He added, that the American Government had been invited to engage in measures to protect each country against abuses of its flag.-In the Peers, Lord Malmesbury said that he had admitted to the American Government, as a question of international law, that England was not entitled to the right of search; but he had put it to that Government whether it would permit its flag to be prostituted to the worst of purposes; had urged the necessity of an ocean police, and that some understanding should be come to between maritime nations which would enable the nationality of vessels to be verified without any danger of a breach of

This, however, has been peremptorily denied by the French Minister, and present appearances indicate that M.

In the mean while the American claimants to the proprietorship of the Transit Route are urging their demands, and the treaty negotiated by Messrs. Cass and Yrissari not having been ratified, the matter is undecided.

GREAT BRITAIN.

In the House of Commons, Mr. Bright interrogated the ministers in respect to the alleged outrages upon the American flag. Mr. Fitzgerald, the Under-Secretary of State, replied that Government had received no further intelligence. It was obvious that the cases reported in the newspapers had been grossly exaggerated, but it was quite possible that the commanders of some vessels had exceeded their duties; if they had done so Government would be ready to make ample and frank acknowledgment. He had entire confidence that when the disposition of this country was known, all difficulties would be amicably arranged. The Government, acting under the advice of the Crown lawyers, had given up the right of search and of visit in time of peace, but had invited the United States to join in an ocean police. It was under consideration whether the squadron should be withdrawn from the Cuban waters, and orders had been sent to the commanders of cruisers enjoining upon them the strictest prudence and caution. Lord John Russell said if

tion with the American Minister, that such an arrangement would be effected. With regard to Spain, it was notorious that the moral support which she had received from England had materially aided her in resisting the wishes of the United States to annex Cuba; but if she persisted in sup

present anxiety of Great Britain would be exchanged for indifference. Earl Gray thought the United States and France solely responsible for the renewal of the slave-trade. As he understood the question of international law, an American vessel filled with slaves might leave Africa without England being able to interfere with her, notwithstanding a perfect knowledge of her character. The Earl of Aberdeen coincided in this view of international law. The Coolie trade, carried on between China and the West Indies and other British colonies, has been brought before Parlisment again. The Bishop of Oxford denounced it as amounting to a renewal of the slave-trade in a most objectionable and illicit form.The bill for the government of India has passed to a second reading. In moving the reading Lord Stanley explained the details of the bill. It proposed that the government should be carried on by a Minister responsible to the Crown, assisted by a Council of fifteen members, holding office for life; seven to be nominated by the present Court of Directors and eight by the Crown; vacancies arising to be filled alternately by nomination of the Crown and of the Council itself. The final decision upon all questions would rest with the Secretary of State. The civil service would be open to competition.Mr. Bright said that the system of annexation had created an empire too vast for management. As an indispensable preliminary to good government, the office of Governor-General should be abolished, for it was impossible that one man should govern well the twenty different nations which compose that empire. India should then be divided into five or six Presidencies, independent of each other,

Literary Notices.

History of the United States, by GEORGE BANCROFT. Vol. VII. (Published by Little, Brown, and Co.) Mr. Bancroft has arrived at what may be deemed the culminating period of his great historical work, in the events which formed the introductory scenes to the drama of the American Revolution. He is no longer to record the struggles of the early set-ditions of the Presbyterians justified resistance to tlers with the elements of nature, the horrors of savage warfare, and the oppressions of arbitrary legislation; but to depict the stirring and fearful times when the colonists were called to pass through the baptism of blood and fire as their initiation to the blessings of freedom.
