and larce rinnlets of linn dark l.rmvn hair; such a one in short as would be highly admired by the double file of ounmen between which the fair Italians I are to pass when they go to the theatre of I.a Scala at Milan. On a visit she was paying to a family of her acquaintance, :ita good hundred miles distance trom the city she resided in, she captivated a young man of the family. Ho asked her in marriage, and obtained the consent of the young lady and her relations, hut as the gentleman was not well advanced in his profession, that of a Uarister, it was nrrronl tn Afr ceremony lor two years. In the mean time the betrothed husband came every now and then to visit his affianced wife, was welcomed by all the familv with a more than friendly warmth, and looked upon and treated by her friends ns the future husband of the 3 o-mg lady. Thus, the two betrothed, instead of going to' the altar plindfold, had an opportunity (and an enviable practice) to study each other's character, to accustom 'themselves to mutual respect in the presence of others, and fo correct whatever blemish they may find they had. To draw !ill closer the bonds of acquaintance and friendship between the two familes. a sister to the husband staid for several months at the house of the intended wife, rather as a relation than n friend; ih.os. instead of h sorious sister-in-law, the bride was -ir . . u"u- as ac(5 Kin j 1 VV.llquiring for herself a friend in her new larnil v. a bndcmaid for her nuptials. -nd, from the grnitude. that a friendly 1 : l 1 1 1 ospu.imy produces, a supporter and defender on every occasion. This young lady, who was known to me oerore the contract of marriage, did not alter in the least her manner of be naviour towards me. She was often be forehand inviting mc to take a walk with her as a guest, and I had sometimes the bonor of giving her my arm. Our walk was always a rvlrarchcamic one, on soli tary banks amid dcseitcd fields, as the hnglish taste will have it. Tun three times she came to pay me a visit it my own house, accompanied, howev er, iy a uear lively little sister of hers. She entered gaily, chatted good humorculy, and soon unfolded the object efher visit geucrally a polite imitation to dinner or tea; such visits are in this country neither an irregularity nor a phenomenon. Only be a bachelor, and young, (but not licentious at least openly,) and if you fall ill, you will have the visits of all the married and marriageable ladies of your acquaintance. More than this, she knew that my lin- ' n was neglected being that of an orphanf, destitute of country, and wandering over the face cf (he earth, and she cficred and with gentle violence took upon herself to set every thing at rights, then, with the same care and attention which a tender wife or a love sick damsel would fchow in latitude 11, she mended up my handkecciefs and shirts. If m latitude 1 1, a young woman had only knit a purse for me, my blind vanity would have made mc believe that purse contained her heart. Hut the heart of 1 fvTT wns ivcn t0 another, and s.ie would have died a mousand deaths rather dian be guilty of an indiscretion of mat sort, i he sacred promise she had given, did not, however, forbid her from being, according to the laudiblc custom of the nation, kind and courteous to mc and other?. She had a way of niakmg appropriate ;.nd tasteful presents. M hen 1 fcI out far Greece, she presented me with a handsome edition of Lord Byron's 'Childe Harold,' and when I returned, it having transpired that in mv new InaVinn-.

There is a world of people here, on this side of the mountains, and land enough for fifty European nations, and a thousand Dukedoms and Principalities. What a country this of ours! how vast, how magnificent. 1 ising m glorious results, if our States but cling together! Our geographies that speak of the West are"" twenty years behind hand. Our ideas (at least mine) are a hundred years behind hand. There is no fiction in Rcrkley's "Westward the star of Empire takes its way." Cincinnati, we all kr.ow, is a new city, in anew State, populated with a rapidity unexampled in the history of (he world but Cincinnati, new as it is, has all the air and manner of an old place. New as it is, there are no stumps and burnt trees standing in the streets as soma may imagine, for the streets are all, or nearly all, as well paved as are the streets of Boston. The h.iiU.I mgs arc not huts, thatched hamlets oh no but elegant brick blocks, vcrv m!in7 r f (Kn r-v r ...tit. . n V , C pnvatc mansion nouses. n nrU ,1 r,-,.,:r: 1 , . .IVJ mauuiCUIli as (here are in the Eastern States. It is i ianicee city in appearance, with Yankee industry, and Yankee thristiness. The houses aro built as we build them, with gardens and walks where they can be had. Tl.era arc no indications that the place is not as old as Portland. no signs of its unexampled growth. The inhabitants of onlv ten years standing are surprised to' find themselves where they arc in the midst of a growing city, surrounded with the luxuries of life, the hissings of an elegant society and a population now not of :0,000 inhabitants, as generally named, but probably 35.000! Such is the growth oi a city where land is now worth as many thousands of dollars as it cost single cents less than thirtv years ago a city growing rapidly now in spite of the check of t ie veto, and probably destined forever to be the empire city cf the Yv'est. Chance, it is said, fixed upon the location of Cincinnati the black lustrous eyes of a sutler's wife, removing hither rort Washington, in a manner which the truth-giving historian will tell: for such is said to be the origin and why j ! l . . may mere not oe romance m the tounding of Cincinnati, as in that of Rome ? But happy eyes they for th- city is in a teautilul va lev ill n snnri.iii; - ... ')'"-''uj amphitheatre, almost mrounded bv gradually sloping hills, now green to uicir summits and enchantmcr hpvnn,) lescription. Across the Ohio are New port and Covington, delightful villa surrounded by the same hills and the same landscape and all taken together here form, with verdant hills and elegant buildings, that charming association of nature and of art, which renders it one of the finest spots to be seen in the United States. I have escaped from the clouds of darkness that hover about one?s steps in the Southern States. This Ohio is New England in its aspect, its manners, and in much of feeling. IIencc,on the banks of the Ohio, on the Ohio and Indiana side, are the nourishing villages, and the neat little farm houses of New England .vith their walks and their gardens, their porticoes and piazzas, enjoying society and neighborhood, and proudly conscious this is all a land ofireemcn. I want no better condem nation of slavery than the left bank of the Uino, as you ascend it, contrasted even with Kentucky,butpartiaIIy alilicted with Uii3 pal-y. I want no better argument than the many farms and the neat dwellings, and promising agriculture of the free State. There is Madi son in Indiana, one of the most inviting villages I have ever seen, situated in a )1 "e";m,Cd r0m.the one 1 . . ... bank of ordinary height, and then hv.-.n other of nature's formation more beautifully shaped than the art of niaa can imitate.

J rooms, into whirhDr. Staughton introduced me. I saw many of its curiosities, its preparations, its printsand paintinps, which I should think of exceeding value. I called upon Mr. Flint, the J . whmiuulmi lecture literary lion ot tlie est, kno
ent and interesting in conversation, instructive also, and full of anecdote and information concerning the vallies of the Mississippi and Ohio, from New Orleans to Titlsburg. I looked into the Court House, for the Supreme Court is now in session. A
trial lor murder was on the tapis. Of course interest was excited, and the crowd was pressing. The presiding Judges here now are Judge Wright, well known as a former member of Congrcss, and Judge Lane, both men of auu r- v in land, but have grown up with, and are now identified with Ohio. The bar is principally of middle-aged and young men, a strong bar, as I am told, and as appearances indicate from the vigor, new nerve, and enterprise brought into (he held. I was introduced to very many of its members, intelligent, able men, who arc nearly all prosperous in their business but Cincinnati is now no place for a young lawyer to settle in lie had belter grow up with the growth of some other city, of which this West will by and by be as full as Germany now is. The Court House here might be a more convenient building but it an swers the purpose and is well enough perhaps in all but the accommodations of the members of the bar, though if an advocate talks much to the Court, hi neck must be pained from looking high up. I have seen our JNew England Courts far noisier than this and in de corum and propriety they are more than up with us. There arc many lawyers of high ability whom I could name, amongwhom ismy brothereditor,Charlcs Hammond, more of a public character among the foremost at the bar, though he takes care of the nation, the Stale polities, the church, and the Bank in addition. There is Mrs. Trollope's famour bazaar. I looked at that. It is an odd looking concern, part church, part jail, part bank, and part dwelling house wanting just enough of each to make you wonder what on earth it could be out of shape without form or comeliness. No wonder the Cincinnatians stared when such a structure was thrown up among them. It is deserted now; and as the ancients speak of Cleopatra's Needle, so we may call this Mrs. Trollope's Bell top, for the cupola is in the shape of a bell. Mrs. Trollopc is well known here. They savsho was intelligent, skillful in sketches, and cor responded with distinguished men broad, but wished to figure here as n Madam uc Slad. But Mrs. Trollopc was a vulgar woman, gross in a thousand things, w ith so muchoi the equivocal in nidi anc coma seiuom or never meet wuh the good society of Cincinnati. The people amuse themselves with, and laugh at her accounts.

The Court were retained some miuutes, owing to the absence of Mr. Randolph, who was at that time iu Church. During this period of painful suspense, a Filcnce almost death-like pervaded the whole Court House, which was crowded to excess. Mr. Kandolph having appeared, tha prisioucr was directed to look upon the Jury, and the Foreman, on the question being put, 'How say juu ; uo 3 ou unu me pnsioner guilty or not guilty?' responded 'Not cuilty?' The cheek and brow of Mr. Avery became instantly and violently suffused; he loaned his head on his right hand, raised his spectacles, and wept. Uis hand was clasped firmly by the Rev. Mr. Palmer, who accompanied him into Court, and fat closa by hi side during this aw ful crisis. There was not the least exhibition of feeling pari oi trie spectators. They retired in order and quietude. Mr. Avery wai conducted out of Court n board a schooner which had been prepared for bis reception, and in which ho embarked for linstol. LAW AN I EL J. CASWELL &.
