HENRY CHAPMAN & CO.May 19,\t188 DEATH OF HUMBOLDT.Humboldt died on the 6th of May.lived but a few days more than four longer he would have completed the year of his age.Fredrich Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt was born in Berlin.Sept.14, 1769.Hestudied at Frankfort-on-the-Oder, of Berlin, and at Gottingen, devoting himself chiefly to the natural sciences, to the Greek language, and to the application of science to the practical arts.His university studies were varied by excursions to the Hartz Mountains, and the vicinity of the Rhine, which occasioned the first fruits of his literary labors, in a work entitled, \u201cThe Basalt on the Rhine\u201d (1790].In the spring and summer of that year, he made a tour through Belgium, Holland, England, and France.The acquaintance of Sir Joseph Banks, and the enthusiasm of one of his companions, who had made a voyage to the South Sea, awakened the desire for visiting tropical regions, and gave a colouring to his future life.On his return he passed some time at a commercial academy in Hamburg, with a view of engaging in the pursuits of trade.But his inclinations strongly tended to the cultivation of physical science, andin 1791, he repaired to the School of Mines at Freiberg.His researches led to the preparation of a treatise on the fossil botany of Frieberg, which was published a year or two later [1793.] A larger work on the physiology of muscles [1797-99-] attests the predominant tendency of his mind.The death of his mother in 1796 removed one of the obstacles to his cherished purpose of a scientific expedition to the tropics.After pursuing an extensive course of study in the application of astronomy to geography, and engaging in meteorological observations with Von Bucb, he went to Paris, where he first made the acquaintance of Bonpland, with whom he passed the winter of 1798 in Madrid.This was, tbe turning point of his life.Such a favourable impression did he make on the Spanish authorities, that he received permission to visit at pleasure any of the Spanish possesions in America or the Indian Ocean, with a guaranty of the free use of his astronomical instruments, and of no restraint in the collection of specimens.In June, 1799, he embarked, in company with Bonpland, for South .America, and arrived at Cumanain the middle of July.The next eight-teen months were spent in an exploring tour through Venezuela ; and iu February, they left the aea-coaat for the south, with a view of reaching the river Apure and the Orinoco.They passed over the cataracts cf Atures and May-^n^'an canoes to Fort San Carlos on ness, returned to the Orinoco, of which they made the first exact scientific observation.From Cumana, at which they arrived in safety from their perilous excursion, they sailed to Hayana, where they remained several months.They next went to Bogota, the vicinity of which they carefully explored, aud in September 1801, continued their journey to the South, arriving in Quito, Jan.6, 1802, Here they remained until the following June, pursuing their researches in the volcanic region, and ascending to bights which had never before been trodden by the foot of man.On June 23, 1802, they reach a bight of 19,230 feet on the Chimborazo, which was more than 3,000 feet higher than the point attained by La Condamiue in 1738.Here they planted their instruments upon a narrow ledge of rock which projected from the vast field of unfathomed snow.A broad, impassable chasm prevented their further advance ; they were enveloped in thick fogs, and in an atmosphere of the most piereiug cold ; they breathed with difficulty, and blood burst from their eyes and lips.Only once has this elevation on the Chimborazo been surpassed, when Boussiugault, in 1831, attained a summit of 19,600 feet, by a different path from that chosen by Humboldt.Crossing the passes of the Andes, the travelers pursued their way to the upper valley of the Amazon, and made a thorough exploration of that portion of Peru.Iu December, they sailed from Calioa to Guayaquil, and after a second tedious voyage, arrived at Aecupulco, March 23, 1803.Thence, they proceeded to Mexico where they remained for several months, pursuing their researches in the volcanic regions, and making rich and valuable collections in natural history.In March, 1804, after exploring numerous localities on the Mexican coast, Humboldt sailed to Havana, where he remained for two months, gathering and arranging the materials for his \u201c Political Essay on Cuba\u201d (Paris, 1826).He next directed his attention to the United States, and accompanied by Bonpland, visited Philadelphia and Washington, where he was treatedwith distinguished attention by President Jefferson, and after a brief sojourn, sailed for Bordeaux in July, 1804.He now took up his temporary abode in Paris, where, in connection with Gay-Lussac, he devoted himself to chemical researches, chiefly on the composition of the atmosphere, until the following March.After a journey to Italy, he returned to Berlin in December, 1805.In 1807 he accompanied Prince William of Prussia on a political mission to France, and with a view to the publication of works, made Paris his residence until ISSY.The first portion of his great work, \u201c Voyage to the Equinoctical Regions of the New Continent,\" was published in Paris in 1809.In the Winter of 1827 he delivered a course of lectures in Berlin on the \u201c Cosmos,\u201d which were the foundation of his celebrated work of that name.In 1829, Humbold was commissioned by the Emperor Nicholas to make an expedition to the Altai and Ural Mountains, with a view to examining the mineral treasures of those regions.The tour extended through Moscow, Kasan, Tobolsk, and Barnaul to the Chinese frontier.This journey furnished the most valuable contributions to the science of physical geography, and owing to the interest which it awakened, a regular system of observations was established by the Imperial Academy of St.Petersburg, thoughout the Russiau Empire, ior the purpose of noting the changes in meteorological phenomena.The political movement of 1830 gave the activity of Humboldt a political direction to a certain extent, but without diverting his attention from the pursuits of science.In May, he attended the Crown Prince of Prussia to the last Diet of Warsaw, aud soon after was with the King at Tepliiz ; and on the accession of Louis Philippe, was commissioned by Frederic William III.to acknowledge the new dynasty at Paris, and to forward political intelligence from that capital to Berlin, He received many similar commissions within the course of the next twelve years, which required him to spend a considerable portion of his time in Paris.Since 1842, Humbolt has resided at Berlin, engaged in the preparation ot \u201cCosmos,\u201d which sums up the observations of a long life on what may be termed the \u201c Harmonies of the Universe,\u201d receiving visits from strangers of every nation, who were attracted by his scientific fame, carrying on an extensive correspondence with men of learning in various departments of research, and cherishing the curiosity of w M.YOUNGER & CU.'S Celebrated Abbey Brewery PALE E.INDIA ALE, just received, aud for sale\u201450 hhds.HENRY CHAPMAN & CO., Agents for Canada.May 19.\t118 OR'SALE- 10,000 Minots Prime OATS 5,POp do do BARLEY Apply to HAVILLAND ROUTH Se CO.May IS.\t117 of the Celtic races we speak one language and have one and the same system of commerce and law ; are, in fact, one and the same people, with the exception of the flunkeys in Punch\u2014there are reasons of irresistible force for believing that the secret treaty negotiated by time, na-tuie aud necessity between the people of Great Britain and their descendants on this side of the Atlantic, will suddenly gome to light in a manner that will astonish and check the European powers, should they attempt a general movement against England, with a view to the destruction of her political and commercial system.The fact that England is a free trader anp not at all anxious for the success of our home manufacturers, does not affect the question of international interest ; the planting interest of the South is more bitterly hostile to Northern manufacturers than England itself, but the South is nevertheless a part, and parcel of our soul and body, and we should defend her to the death if she were in danger, as we would England.The party that has been so many years dominant in the United .States is decidedly English in its tastes and proclivities, especially for fillibusterism and free trade, and there are the same efforts in England in favor of slavery that are now being made iu the Southern United States.Indeed, is not the only great prophet' aud philosophical defender of slavery, Thomas Carlyle, an Englishman ?In point of religion there are no obstacles at all to the continuance of the natural union that exists between England and the United States.We have Catholics, Protestants, Quakers, Baptists, Jews and Mormons, and so has Great Britain ; and perhaps iu the same proportion or nearly so.Unless it be lending us money by the hundred millions at a time, England has not done us the smallest conceivable injury this last twenty years ; on the contrary, we have been bullying and threatening her about her paltry little consular acquisitions iu Ceutral America, to which she attaches no value, unless they may finally aid us in populating those countries with some of our own peopie, who will supply English goods, and raise coffee and cotton for the Liverpool market.Republicanism, born and educated iu England, attained its majority and manhood in America.Its reaction upon Europe gave rise to all the French revolutions, ending in the establishment ot the Napoleonic dynasty by the suffrage of the people ot France ; but while the moral reaction of English principles developed in America has overturned a succession of Empires, aud necessitated a reconstruction of European Governments, the effect of these principles, upon England herself has been merely to aid her in the process of graduai and healthy reforms.She has not, therefore, the least fear,of American republicanism as a disturbing cause, but contiuually appeals to it, aud fortifies herself by its example.The quarrels of England with her colonies in 1776, and subsequently the war of 1812, are acknowledged by English historians to have been results of mal-administration on the part of the Crown, and there is not a statesman of eminence in the British councils who does not regard the United States not only as the natural ally of England, but, iu fact, part and parcel of her political system\u2014an independent one, it is true, but yet intrinsically the same in law as in language, lineage and religion.We therefore regard it as a proof of consummate wisdom and courage on the part of Mr.Disraeli, in the face of much brutal prejudice, that he uas been the first to publish the intimacy of the two nations as the open secret of England\u2019s greatness and security.Bold and powerful as we have ourselves become, the British barrier between ourselves aud Europe is pernaps no less necessary to us than we are to England.The removal of the British fleets from the Allantic would necessitate on our part, the immediate construction and maintenance of a navy fully equal to that of England and superior to the present admirable steam marine of France ; and averse as we are to the extreme doctrine of free trade, it appears to us that Urn British Navy is virtually, in part, our own, supported by the concessions our free traders have made to the manufacturing interest of Great Britaiu.The English navy is the fifiJESfeaUfe.maratime supremacy, Euglaud opens everywhere for us a market for the produce of our soil.Jealous as she has always been of our handicraft, she has manifested extreme liberality iu regard to all the raw materials of industry ; not it is true from any spirit of philanthropy, but because of that profound dependence which she feels upon the United States ; dependence for commercial sympathy, revenue, speculation, mutual benefit, as intimate in kind, as that between Liverpool and London.Not only is war between the two countries politically impossible, a mere Celtic nightmare; they are daily more necessary to each other\u2014 more re-active and amicable dependants.No greater proof of this can be adduced, than the fact that as there is no distinct British clique among American Politicians neither does either people seek to operate socially to disturb the po-iftical system of the other.There is a practice of thorough non-intervention, precisely such as exists, or should exist, between any two States of the Union.That England will not go to the wall, if America can prevent it, is not only the belief of Mr.Disraeli, but of every sensible American who has looked intelligently into the cause of affinity that make each half of the British race necessary to the prosperity ot the other.In the final issue every minor consideration will go down before the affinities created by blood and interest.manI0T?Mrest\u2019 (ietentioil> 1038 or forfeiture.\u201d la Ss orr°,f C0UQtHc3\u2019 \u201cigaorance, unskil-or crew\u201d bv wv6!3)011 ttle part 01 tlie officer3 included ffiitWtb'Ch 1033 might occur' are also the English Comm n0t ackaowled£e,i by of the highest Courtn ^ ^ decisioaii limited the nrmii ^ m trt'eat Britain.bave If the cantain Ph llCatl°n to 1Iueiuional offences.unlawful aLt nf °Wner of the ^5®$5,75;

he has left the Empress all the functions of the Regency, and has weighted them with those proper restrictions which he thinks necessary to prevent the operation of amiable weakness or feminine ir- i resolution in matters of State.In his absence he has left her his \u201corder and instructions,\u201d to guide her, and his photograph, newly taken, to console her.If we look back for a precedent for an event of this Courtly importance, we must rest upon the magnificent ceremonial whibh accompanied the departure of the uncle of the present Emperor in the month of May iu the famous year ot 1812.Then, also, an Emperor ot France recommended to the protection of his people his wife and his one child, and went forward in a plenitude of magnificence which even Napoleon III.cannot yet emulate, to take the command of half a million of men in arms, and to direct the thunders of 1,300 guns.Even the huge armies now on foot are not to be compared with such tremendous armaments, nor will there interpose between Paris and the seat of war any so magnificent a delay as that which drew together half the Sovereigns of Europe to do homage to the Great Napoleon at Dresden, and showed the world four Kings and a crowd of Princes waiting in the Imperial ante-chamber, and an Empress of France treating with a somewhat contemptuous condescension the Imperial Archduchesses, her German relatives.If we thus recur to history, it is that the events of the last few years seem to have brought the great wars of the First Napoleon nearer to our own time.In the forgotten days of peace, some seven or eight years ago, the present generation felt itself divided as by a gulf from the tremendous conflicts of the Republic and the Empire.We could scarcely imagine that in the streets of Paris we walked about surrounded by tbe children of those who had seen tumbrils full of unfortunates go to the guillotine, and had formed part of armies of a quarter of a million, operating along a line of two or three hundred miles.But these mighty events now seem leas strange and less foreign to our own experience.We have become accustomed to the rumors of wars and alliances, the despatch of regiments and ships, the news of succeîsful sieges and hardly-won fights.We turn to our histories to find that the armies marshalled under the banners of rival States are now vastly more numerous, expensive, and well equipped than those which fought at the outset of the Great War.The vessels which contended at the Nile and Trafalgar were mere nutshells in comparison with the stupendous bulks which will be b:ought into action, should the only two great Naval Powers which remain in Europe oppose each other in war.These facts may seem commonplace, but still it is of the utmost importance to recollect that thestruggle into which the European nations may now be drifting is on quite as large a scale as that which exhausted their energies at the bginning of this century.True, as a recent speaker observed.a great French Revolution does not happen every fifty years, and war of the present day may want the fierceness and enthusiasm which prolonged a former one for twenty-two-years.But ruin may come just as well from a war commencedlanguidly andprosecuted weakly as from one which engages the passions ot every peasant.The burdens of war, the horrors of war, may be as terrible when both sides are wishing for peace and asking the reason of the fight, as when a Revolution is battling with Kings, or a crowned, soldier placing his relatives and his comrades on the thrones o Europe.THE CROPS IN THE WEST.Journeying from Berlin to Elora the other day, says the Berlin Chronicle, we were delighted with the splendid appearance presented by the growing crops, particularly fall wheat.The fields sown with the latter grain are covered with vegetation of the strongest and healthiest appearance, well advanced, and promising a superabundant yield.The farmers are jubilant over tbe prospect, and we pray that they may realize all their expectations.And this they will certainly do, if the worm and mat do not get into an extensive business.BOSTON MARKETS.[FromT.D.Heath\u2019s Circular.] Boston, Saturday, May 21.COFFEE\u2014The market continues very quiet for this article and no sales of any importance the past week.Java continues to be held at 14Jc ÿ1 lb, 6 mos, but is quiet.Imports from January 1 to May 1.1858.\tt
