child still clung to him, embittering his agonies with its tears and lamentations. Still rapidly came on the fierce and disordered mass, and louder rose upon his affrighted ear the cries of the many mouthed monster for vengeance. More fervently in that moment of despair he clasped the fainting form to his breast, and felt even the pulseless, inert burthen link him more strongly to hope. Savage and merciless though the crowd might be, could it while the ties of nature thus coiled around him-wife and child speechless in his embrace-cry aloud for his blood, and wreak its vengeance? While the miserable man thus clung to a shattered raft amid the waste which swam before, and the storm which pealed around him, the yelling of the mob and imprecations on his name came on still nearer, like waves that gather in the distance, and, bearing on the fragments of the wreck, fling the ghastly offering at our feet. A moment more, and the leaders stood before their victim. lends the mother in the moment which threatens her offspring; "leave not this child fatherless, she hath not wronged ye. Her tears speak her innocence, and beg in silence for the father." She spoke to stones, to men hardened by the contemplation of the crimes they came to avenge, and deaf to every sound save the reiterated cry which burst from their own lips-" death! death!" "The rope! the hook! the Tiber!" rose once more around and above them. The hideous images created by these words inspired Sejanus with a wild and terrific energy, which for the moment baffled even the strength of numbers He rushed upon his most forward antagonist, and, seizing a club, hewed his way through the pressing crowd. It was vain, however, as the delusive strength which precedes the final throe of life, lending the hope of a moment to the dying; the club was stricken from his hand, and gasping, shrieking, and struggling, he was overpowered and borne down breathless to the earth. "Guilty! guilty!" shrieked the doomed man, his smothered voice scarcely rising amid the pressure and the tumult, " still, mercy-mercy-oh! spare-" A blow laid him dead at their feet, in the very mo his body, and, amid a burst of savage exultation which seemed to anticipate even posthumous revenge, he was dragged from the prison. They looked on him, pale and trembling in the embrace of his wife and child, but the sternness that bow ed the iron and resolute visage of each, showed that the heart was impervious to the silent appeal of nature. Still on they came, tumultuously; every shout a cursement of entreaty; the rope had been adjusted round upon his name-every cry, for vengeance. The eyes of Sejanus passed unconsciously from one to the other, as in fierce and impenetrable array they ranged themselves before his dungeon; some armed with clubs, others with swords, as design had provided, or chance flung them in their way. A dim and confused mass floated before his imagination: he could not trace a single feature, nor recognise a single voice, but the dreadful perception weighed upon his mind of one vast body knit together for the same dreadful purpose-death and destruction. Mother and child were now the solitary tenants of that dismal cell. Some moments after they had left the prison, she endeavored to collect her scattered senses; she looked round wildly; she could individualize neither object nor place; time seemed to fly with a speed which bore away the reality of the image, only to leave its horror in the dream; the dim perception of furious clamor rang in her ear, and the figures of armed a frown knit every brow, and sternness compressed every lip; yet was every thing in that moment confused and impalpable. "Away, away with him! the rope! the hook !-men surrounded her in a dense and congregated mass; the murderer to the Tiber!" burst with a simultaneous discord from the multitude-and, as they shouted, the ghastly instruments of execution were exhibited, and one mighty rush on the moment filled the cell. Sejanus spoke not, stirred not; he stood perfectly motionless, save for a convulsive tremor of the arm as it unconsciously clasped more closely, for the last time, the pledges which life had left him. Amid this vague and wildering thought, she felt the arms of her little daughter Claudia clasping her neck, she heard her soft and sorrowful voice, as vainly she breathed accents of tenderness and consolation. The voice of her child was a link to the horrors of the scene she had Regardless of the protection vouchsafed to him in the witnessed; with the force of a spell it re-painted the presence of wife or child, they grasped him violently murderous mob, as they pressed around, and trampled and bound him.

We think that the readers of this work will feel disposed to say, that Mrs. Ellet has furnished them with a rich mental banquet. At least, we have read some seventy or eighty pages in it and say so ourselves. The style is elegant, and the analysis of character well conducted. Of this, we give the following specimen-that of Philip the second : "Mercy? mercy? Ha, ha! Mercy to the murderer? Away with him!" was the infuriated and deriding answer, as almost with one hand, they grasped and tore him from the innocent forms which still clung to him. "Have ye no mercy? mercy for his wife and child ?” "Philip, as first in place, claims our attention; harderied Apicata, following them on her kees as they tore hearted, cold-blooded, selfish and cruel by nature, him from her presence, her hands locked with a convui- limited in his intellect, unrestrained by moral principle, sive agony, "a wife-a woman, kneels, implores ye as and of unbounded pride, he is thoroughly a tyrant.

Yet thing solid or brilliant to the monuments of our national we do not see him brooding over his cold and solitary literature. destiny; he sways a mighty sceptre with an iron hand, with an indomitable will, and finds his employment and pleasure in subduing the force of others, in adding to the vast distance that already separates him from inferior mortals. To elevate himself, and through himself, all that bears relation to his greatness, is the sole aim of his existence; an aim which he pursues steadily and unswervingly, and to which he would render all things else subservient. His bigotry and relentless tyranny have plunged the Netherlands into misery, and excited them to revolt; but the flinty despot dreams not of retracing a step of his course, to secure their allegiance; the thought of their sufferings, of conciliating clemency, finds no place in his mind; he discerns afar off the goal of his wishes, unlimited sovereignty;-the path to it is through blood and misery, over the trampled bodies of thousands of his subjects-the desolation of widowsthe ruin of orphans-the blight of a prosperous and happy land-but he pauses not, though the sympathies of Europe for an outraged nation call on him to forbear! His understanding, fettered by selfishness, admits not the idea of the spirit of independence that is abroad; he hopes to conclude his work by the same means that begun it; to fling "Himself against the wheel of a world's fate." For our own part, we have been pleased with the portions of Harry Franco which we have read. It is filled with well-told adventures, is interesting and instructive. The style is easy, and the incidents, on the whole, natural and life-like. We commend it to our readers, especially to the young who are setting out in the world, to battle with its storms, and to encounter its snares and temptations. We repeat that we were gratified with what we read. We, of course, do not pretend to offer special criticisms upon the work. We commend it to public favor, and hope that the author will not let his pen lie idle or cease from his literary labors. North American Review--No. CIV. July, 1839.

His gloomy and austere superstition strengthens and heightens his other evil qualities, by stamping his actions with its terrible sanction. His jealousy is the offspring of pride; a pride of no generous origin, and producing no salutary effects; such a passion as might dwell in the bosom of the enemy of mankind. In the depths of his soul no soft or beautiful image is ever reflected; the stern and the hateful alone abide in those recesses unvisited by kindly gleams of sunshine. This picture is gradually unfolded to us in the course of the tragedy." We venture to say, that those who are not acquaint ed with the writings of the great German dramatist, will derive much instruction from the perusal of this work, and those who are, much gratification. Literary Examiner, or Western Monthly Review-by E. Burke Fisher--Pittsburg, Pa. We have been favored by the publisher with the second and third numbers of the "Literary Examiner or Western Monthly Review"-(the first it is presumed has miscarried)-published in the city of Pittsburg and edited by E. Burke Fisher-a gentleman of fine literary attainments. The work is of beautiful typography and each number contains nearly eighty pages of interesting matter. Many of the articles which our leisure has enabled us to read, are written with great ability, and there are none we believe not entitled to the character of respectable mediocrity. The tone of the numbers before us is both moral and patriotic, and the Harry Franco; a Tale of the Great Panic.

Hence the necessity for all good men, who have the means, to encourage every thing calculated to arrest the march of corruption and decay. We must never cease in our efforts to promote the great cause of universal education. We must strive to purify public opinion and elevate the standard of public and private morality. We must endeavor to inspire the love of virtue and a taste for the beautiful and good both in art and nature. Our countrymen are too much wedded to the sordid pursuit of gain. How to grow rich, seems to be the only problem worthy of solution. To be free, virtuous, and happy, are objects of comparative insignificance!

VIII. of your rising, of the hour you breakfast, dine, sup, visit; tell me of any thing, but leave me not in doubt about your health. You began well, but then you abruptly break off, and say, "but my fate cannot yet be determined." Has the doctor said so, or do I mistake the idea? Heaven grant I may. How cruel is this, my dearest girl, to leave me in suspense? Why, my dearest girl, will you torment yourself, in your letter of the third, by anticipating evil to yourself and me, and by a comparison of your situation with those who are apparently happier? Consider, my Patsy, you are why turn them to your torture, or my anguish? You dive a philosopher-you are a heroine-your feelings I love, but not, my dearest, into the dreary mansions, and lonely retreats of those who pass your window, with cheerful faces, and hasty steps. You feel not their woes-you see not their troubles; they may have husbands pining in dungeons, children ready to devour the scanty morsel that hard labor, and frugal industry may have scarcely earned, unknowing where the next morsel is to come from. They may have their nearest connections swallowed up at sea, or devoured by the horrid engines of destruction-they may not have a pillow where on to rest their weary heads. From these, I A letter from Theodorick Bland, Jr., to his lady-copied from the thank my God, my Patsy is yet secure. Could you behold the original, and never before published. distress that ravaging war has occasioned, in this once delightful spot, this garden of the world, you would say 'twere wise to keep it from our doors at all events. What is the sacrifice of a few years to the good of the human species ? what heart can behold the outrages committed here, and sit with inactive silence and look on with obdurate apathy? Fear not, my Patsy,-yes, "you will again feel your husband's lips flowing with love and affectionate warinth." Heaven never means to separate two who love so well, so soon; and if it does, with what transport shall we meet in Heaven? And does poor Dido sympathise with her dear any accident that may befall her, add one atom to my dear's distress. Are you not an artful slut?--I too could, nay almost had made a blot. Did you not know the eloquence of that black spot in your letter? Why was the ink lighter colored than the writing? Was it not diluted with a precious drop from my dearest Patsy's eyes. I thought it was, and kissed it: henceforth I shall think a blot the most elegant writing. Not one letter. Yes, my dear, I have stolen from the silent night two hours about a week ago, and sent my heart to you in a sheet of paper. Have you not received it? I left it at head-quarters, and will inquire after it tomorrow-no, I cannot. To-morrow I shall go to Brunswick, if nothing happens to prevent it, by order of the general, with a flag of truce. It will be, I believe, a pleasant expedition. Perhaps I may meet some of my old acquaintances. You say, my love, you must see me for a very particular reason. As soon as it can be done with honor, my Patsy shall be gratified; but that, alas, (is now) impossible. I will not flatter, my dear; but why sit down in silent melancholy ? Why make yourself, and me too, unhappy? No, my dearest girl, let me hear that you are easy, sprightly, gay and cheerful. It will not retard our happy meeting, nor sour our separation. Why, when the cup is bitter, will you add gall to it? Your prudence has suggested to me what I did not think of. What gold and silver you can conveniently spare, you may leave with Mr. Powell. Render him and his lady my best thanks for their kind regard and civility to my Patsy, and apologise for my not waiting on them before I left Philadelphia. You may give *** a kiss for his kindness to you, and that will pay the ***** well enough. I know I value it at above one hundred pounds. Tell him I will pay him money for inoculating the negroes, as much as he asks. His man is good for nothing; I have cursed him ten thousand times. His kindness is nevertheless in letting me have him. If Isaac can be conveniently spared, after being well smoked, washed, and dried, send him to me, and take Kit; if not, send Kit, after a thorough cleansing-it would be bad to communicate the small pox. Captain John Nelson, of my regiment, will accompany you to Virginia, if you go soon; but I will write another letter in a day or two. God bless you-my paper is out, and my candle burnt down. THEO'K BLAND. My Dearest Patsy,-I hereby acknowledge the receipt of your three letters, (besides one I received on the road, favored by Capt. Nelson,) the first dated the 10th day of inoculation, the second the 3d day of February, and the last the 1st day of February. I am now set down with the serious intention of answering them, and of indulging myself after two or three days marching and counter-marching, in a little chat with my angel, my Patsy. But not like you, I have begun, and perhaps may end, with an account of myself. Oh, Patsy, why do you not speculate always of your-mistress? take care of her, for her master's sake; but let not self, of your state of health, of your thoughts, and your actions;-of your thoughts, I confess you do ;-but do not suffer them to run wild in the exuberance of your fertile, (for our situation) too fertile imagination. Believe me, my dearest wife, that Providence, to whom you fervently pray, will hear your prayer, and shield your husband from harm. The horrors of war, I mean the dangers of the field, are fewer than your fears and feelings suggest to you. I have been in the field; I have seen the enemy drawn up; and am safely returned to a mansion, as peaceful, though not so pleasant as our little farm. We have this day been amused with a distant engagement, which we since learn was at a place called Quibble Town, where there was an incessant fire of cannon and small arms for near three hours; the particulars are not yet come to hand. I was two days ago with part of my regiment, and a body of troops under the command of General Sullivan, on a foraging party; our plan was executed one or two of the light horse fired a shot or two at a small party of the enemy; a party of foot marched up to attack them, but they retreated and left us the field, without the least damage done on either side. We brought off five or six hundred cattle, and about as many sheep, belonging to tories, who had joined, and were about to join the enemy. Colonel Scott, of Virginia, had an engagement six or eight days ago, in which the enemy are said to have lost thirty men killed, and about sixty wounded; but from a tardiness in another officer, was obliged to retreat, leaving eight men killed, and ten or twelve wounded. The enemy were near treble his number, and he behaved gallantly. But oh, my dear, shall I tell you of the disgrace of our countryman, It will fly soon enough; I shall therefore say no more: a court martial has been this day held on him, and the best that can happen to him, will be to be broke with infamy. But what are these things to my Patsy? They are the common talk of the camp, and I thought I would give it to you. In your letter of February 1st, you tell me you have been (exceedingly) ill for five days; but think, my dear, how cruelly you have stopped: you do not tell me you are now well, nor can I know, but by the have been, and inferring from your hand-writing, and your going to the glass.

The Medical Department of this institution has recently been reorganized, and the Lectures will hereafter commence on the first Monday in November, annually, and continue until the 1st of March. During this period, full courses will be delivered on the various branches of Medicine by THOMAS SEWALL, M. D., Professor of the Principles of Pathology and the Practice of Medicine. THOMAS P. JONES, M. D, Professor of Chemistry and Pharmacy. HARVEY LINDSLY, M. D., Professor of Obstetrics and the Diseases of Women and Children. THOMAS MILLER, M. D., Professor of the Principles and Practice of Surgery. JOHN M. THOMAS, M. D., Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics. JOHN FREDERICK MAY, M. D., Professor of Anatomy and Physiology; late Professor of Surgery in the University of Maryland. The lectures will be delivered in the large and commodious building situated at the corner of 4 street and Louisiana avenue, nearly equidistant from the Capitol and the President's House. In the arrangements of this building, particular reference has been had to the study of Practical Anatomy, a branch which the student will enjoy peculiar facilities for cultivating, both on account of the abundance of materiel which he will be able at all times to command, and the accommodation of the rooms provided for the purpose. In order to exemplify the treatment of the diseases lectured on by the Professors of the Practice of Medicine and of Surgery, a Dispensary will be attached to the College building, from which patients will be brought before the class, and thus the student will enjoy the combined advantages of oral and practical teaching. The Professor of Surgery will not only show all the operations upon the recent subject, but will afford the student an opportunity of repeating the more important ones with his own hand. He will have at his command, for the purpose of demonstrating the operations, complete sets of the most approved instruments, recently imported from France. The Professor of Chemistry has a valuable and complete Chemical and Philosophical Apparatus, which was carefully selected in Europe, and which will afford him every facility of demonstrating, by experiment, the truths of his department. The Professor of Obstetrics will illustrate his lectures by obstetrical apparatus, and an ample collection of preparations and drawings. As there are many young men of talent and worth in different parts of our country, who, from restricted circumstances, are unable to avail themselves of the benefits of public lectures, the Professors have resolved to admit, gratuitously, two such students from each of the States, and one from each of the Territories. In order, however, to guard against individuals whose education and character do not qualify them to become useful members of the profession, the selection is placed in the hands of the Senators and Delegates of Congress, each of whom bas the right to select one student from his respective State or Territory, and whose certificate of selection will be a passport to all the lectures, by paying only on entering the school the usual Matriculating fee of five dollars. The whole expense for a full Course of Lectures by all the Professors is $70. Dissecting Ticket $10; optional with the student. The requisites for graduation are, that the candidate shall have attended the Lectures of each Professor two full courses, or one full course in this school, and one in some other respectable institution. He shall have entered his name with the Dean of the Faculty as a candidate for graduation, and delivered to him an inaugural dissertation on some medical subject thirty days before the close of the session, and pass a satisfactory examination. All persons who have attended two full courses of Lectures in this school are entitled to attend succeeding courses free of expense. The degrees are conferred by the authority of the Columbian College, incorporated by an act of the Congress of the United States. Good board can be procured at from three to four dollars per week.

This Seminary is located on Shocka Hill, three squares from the Capitol, in a healthy and central situation; the house is very spacious and thereby capable of accommodating forty Young Ladies. The course of instruction embraces Reading, Orthography, Penmanship, Grammar, Arithmetic, Geography, (ancient and modern,) Universal History.

And since at the present day it has become quite a desideratum to possess the faculty of conversing in the modern or Italian in the family. languages, the Young Ladies are required to speak either French SYSTEM OF THE SCHOOL. The School is divided into four departments, each being totally disconnected with the others, and having a well qualified teacher presiding over its limited number of pupils, who pursue the same course of study, in the prospective hope of advancement. As soon as prepared to enter the next department, they are promoted, and studies of a higher grade are assigned to them. The utility of such an arrangement has been tested by four years' experience, and every succeeding has manifested the same happy results in the zeal and advancement of the pupils; thus the inconveniences of a crowded and promiscuous School have been obviated, and the anxious solicitude of the Principal set at rest. In order to render this Seminary such as was needed, there has been no trouble or expense spared to obtain the services of well qualified teachers; aware, as Mr. Persico is, that public confidence can be inspired, and public patronage meted out to him only in proportion to the usefulness of his Seminary. The morals, health, comfort, and improvement of those intrusted to Mr. and Mrs. Persico, are made objects of their special attention, and no pains are spared, either by them or the resident teachers, to enforce every measure which may tend to the happiness of the young Ladies.
