w e are astonished by the- bright, efful­gence of her views, the power of des­criptions, and the philosophic musings and wrapt conceptions, which pervade the pages o f that celebrated work—a work which, while it filled the scep-tered despots of the " H o l y Al l iance" with terror, drew from Lord Byron, the memorable and laudatory compliment, which our fair coflntrywomen prize more highly than all the imperial com­mendations which the Caesars and Czars could bestow upon adulating favorites. W e compassionate the tasteless critic who is not delighted with the beauty of her style, and the glow of her senti­ments", when she touches the affections and passions of the human heart; as like Goethe and ftousseau, her pages are fraught with that spirit of impassioned eloquence, which impresses upon her eompositionstfhe seal of rapturous en­chantment, and enlarges our ideas and liberalizes our mind, while it strength-enst hose bonds of philanthropy that bind us to our fellow creatures. T h e power o f woman in this literary age, is become as potent from intellectual influence, as she was formerly from personal at­traction. Still we must grant, that e-ven in ancient times, those women who governed the hearts and understandings of men with the most unbounded sway, oived their power, less to the witchery of beauty and thechairasof youth, than to the strength of mind and cultivation of talent, A women of elegant person al exterior, without the polish of accom­plishment, is like a flower without per­fume. Aspasia possessed neither youth nor-'beauty when Socrates became her disciple, and imbibed the principles of the philosophy of love at her feet: and her charms were laded when A-thens was governed by her decrees thro* the medium of Pericles.

By a late estimate, which, from the information possessed, and the correc­tions applied, by its author, cannot dif fer much from the truth, the whole pop­ulation of the globe is as follows : Of Asia , 5 0 0 mil l ions; Africa, 9 0 mill­ions; Europe, ISO mill ions; America, 3 0 millions—total, 8 0 0 millions.

• T h e number who bear the Chris­tian name," continues the same writer, " thro'ont the whole world, may be as­certained with sufficient accuracy for the present purpose.

" Europe, we know, contains the greatest part of the Christian popula­tion on the globe. After deducting a-bout three millions of Mahometans, we may allow the whole remaing popula­tion of that quarter of the globe to be Christians, in a very general accepta­tion of the term.

" In the United States, there are a-bout 8 millions that may be reckoned Christians. The Christian population of the European possessions in North add South America, is not certainly known, but it is probably not far from ten millions. I f we include Abysina in the list of Christian nations, we may allow about three millions of Christians for*.he conlinet of Africa.

»• /* your Fn^lishman so exquisite in his drinking ?"-~A young farming man, in the service of Mr. Kichardson, near Winterton, finding a jug from which bis master had been filling some bottles, put it to his mouth, and drank the remainder of the contents, about three pints of brandy. He then went to plough, but was found soon after fallen on the ground, and blaek in the face.—Mr. Hayes, surgeon, was sent for, and having been informed of the cause, lie and his assis­tant applied the stomach pump, which ex­tracted the whole brandy.
