HENRY COLMAN'S NEW .MOI )T'EdROBIE Messrs. Little..& Zrown, of this city, .haveinpress, an4 will soon. issue an ,exceedingly well written and interest -ing'worki descriptive of"European Life -and-Maniers." It is from the pen of Rey. Henry Colman, a gentleman well and favorably known to our readers, as au ihtelligent and accomplished clergy MA !and-an interesing, gifted and pow erful writer. We have been 'fooi-ed 4bythe publishsrs with a sihbt of some dftlid prof-shoots of the forth-coming volumes, and are thus enabled to speak ifth "iVowledge of the interest. which tis iork cannot fail to create when it shall appear. It is to appear I in ;two large and handsome octavo volumes. *inpIper, typography and general ex ecution, Lit is, like every thing that ibsued from the press of -these publish ers;weillidone and a credit to the Bos. ton press,. In this respect, it leaved -nothg. to be -desired. ~With regard to intrinsic merits of the work itself, we need notsay much. All A9, reglermare already. aware of. the r.markable facilities -and unequalled o portunitiesAM. Colman has enjoyed, during his residence in Europe, to gath erimOst aftple'materials for a work of this kind-, and wehave all seen that no ian, is-better fitted by his "natural pow ee of' observation and' hisI ease and freed m ol tfle, to tI' h'ese rich stores.to theiribest account., IL coitld n6t fail, therefore, that such a bombina tie of portunity and-ability, as'in the preterit case, shonld result in the pro. Action of jut such a work as the two volumes whose proof sheets now lie upon our tble. t islfull of varied, interesting and often most valuable observation. We . forbear any more comments of our own, d in 'evidene of the. correctness of our 'aorible opinion of the work, de vote the rest of our space to a few brief 'and disconnected extracts from its pa gesiselected at random and hastily, without, in any case, taking any pains tos give what may seem to be the best p-oriona.'

'I do not exaggerate, I cannot.go beyond the reality. TnE WOMA* O0 ENG ANd.--The neatness of the better clas of women is quite st-iking. The majority of themi wear white. cotton stockings, *-ithout those dirty pantalets which you soe bob. bing about the ancdea of our 4mi'enien, and they have to mudh good sense dn der an affected modpsty to let lieir clothes draggle in the mud; but theyi faise their skirts a little, and you will see them elegautly dressed, and walk- I ing through, and crossing the muddiest i streets in the rain, and not a peck of dirt upon their shoes or stockings. I wish our ladies at home would take I some lessons from them. Another I thing shows their good sense. They all, in walking, wear patterns or thick-* soled shoes, as thick as cork shoes, or else galoshers. India rubbers are not i seen. They have another practice 4 which I greatly admire. They seldom wear false curls; but women whoselhair 1 is gray wear it gray, and seem to take I as much -pride in their silver locks as i the younger ones do their auburn tres- I ses. I have met a good many ladies 4 in company, but I do not find them to i differ greatly from those I left at home among the well educated classes. Man- 4 ners, inwever, are certainly much more I agreeable; for they are not put on for I the occasion, but grow up with them is mtter-of course. Every'thing in soci. i ety proceeds much inore quietly than i with us. From what I can see, the 4 English women must be excellent house- I wives, as nothing can exceed the neat- ] ness and comfort of their establishments. 1 I do wish I could show you my bed- I room and parlor, and let you see how I neatly I am served. 4 CHAnITY CHILDREN.-The most in teresting sight which I have yet seen in England, was the meeting of the charity 1 children in London and its vicinity i i St. Paul's church. They were from 4 about eight to ten years old; the girls i all dressed in neat white saps, the boys I all in dark long coats and shirts of diC ferent colors, according to the school to which they belonged; the red ribbons,i some with white, and some with blue; and here were from seven to ten thou- I sand of them, all arranged in the centre: of the cathedral, on seats rising one above another on three sides of an oval, with the audience in the centre, and4 stretching along through the great aisle.> During the service, I went into the whispering gallery, which is at the bottom of the dome, extending all round it', and directly over their heads, about two hundred feet from them. We could hear them distinctly, and saw them tc the greatest advantage. They resembled a beautiful bed of variegated fioters, and indeed it seems to me no thing on this earth ever appeared one half so beautiful. I was greatly exci te,d dnd was half tempted, in *a state of delirium, 'to throw myself over the railinig. How much I wished that you and youi- mother could. have seen it. After the service, the schools went out in diffet ent processions and direstious, it reqluiring a long, time to c lear the chapel; and I Webt up to, the cupola of the church, from which' ve could see them' winding offihgdifferent directions, and threadin the differ-ent atn'eete, like so thny boautifdil ribtinde. These dhill dron, by the benotolcnce of good chris tian men and women, arc talken from homelessness, and poverty, and desti tution, and all the exposures of vice and mnisery which attend them, and re eive a good and useful .education, to ta~rgngtousin so. pso-, A.4:t'eturned -to Mel. rose 'aud visAitedAotbf6WW J ih is o "1y to dayw\ Ifi, Week,*Wednepays andri as, 1ni 5 61c.

The hall into which we enter is hung vnth various uiteces and suits of armor,1 md istrumev.ts of war. Two statutes, ne ropr2sentiing a knight in full armor, nith 'a sword a o long and heavy, that it vould seem or ily suitable for show, and he other a -k iight in full tilting armor, ire placed at the end of the room; and here are 'ike'xiso shown the keys of the ild Tolbooth, or prison in Edinburgh, :lebrated in :the Heart of Mid Lothian. Lhe fire place has a grate, which belong !d to Archbishop Sharp, and Roman tettle said to be 2000 years old, quite ike our modern cast iron pots. The text room showy i was the armory, filled nith small arms of a great variety, Lmong others a sword of Celtic origin, if curious workmanship, presented to 'ir Walter by the city of Edinburgh. nto this room we were allowed to look, mt not to enter. I should have said hat the suit of armor on one of the mights in the entrancehall was report d to have been found on the field of Bosworth. The fire-place in the entrance hall I vas modelled after the arches in the uins of Melrose Abbey; and a hart of I ieiling in a recess of the dining room I s ornamented with carved word, called ho Star of B3ethulehem and copied from he beautiful chapel at Roslin Castle. We were shown, afterwards, the din ng room in which are several most val- I mable pictuzres; one of Oliver Cromr-ell, Ldmirab~le and very rare; one of Charles KII. of Sweden; one of General Fair- I e~x; and a most touching one of the I mead of mary Queen of Scotts after her Ixecution-.t is an original, and Sir I Vater Scott would never suffer a copy I o be taken. One cannot help execra ing the memory of.Queen Elizabeth.< [n another room we were shown sever d l2ictures of the Scott family; Lady < Beott, Scott's second daughter, Anne Scott, and an admirable portrait of I Scott himself, by Leslie.) T1he next room shown us was the Ii- I rary, containing some thousand vol rnmes, carefully guarded from removal by a wire grating. Hero was a finei bust of Wordsworth, one of Shakspoaro, taken from his toeub at Stratford, and Above all, of Scott himself, by Chantry, Full of life and expression. In this room was a set of ebony chairs and an ebony writiung-desk, of most curious and cx pnisite workmanship, said to have be Longed to George II., and presented to Sir Walter by George IV. The next room shown to us was the sanctuary of Scott, his private room of. study, with the chair remaining in the position in which he sat, the desk at which ho wrote, and, in an adjoining closet, the clothes which he last were. The walls Df the room are lined with books, with a small gallery running round the whole, and a pnivato stair-case. bv which h caie froin his bed o He -foldI the Iuehds Ik ~ th l Mto Ifo~gi d b h as i hpleased, oe the w1isi- or ' she rpliod Is- iinligisble;,' most gace complimeand appg, ciated by Sir Walter.

Scott ivas' a n'ost eminent benefactor, not'to the world at large merely, in the imount of pleasure which he diffused,, md the curiosity which he gratified ut to Scotland, especially, in a more iumble and'pecuniary sense. He,,nay se said to have illum nated every place which he touched, and to-have threwn in interest around, in .a word, t nade alive, every object which he de. icribed. Interesting and delightful as iociations are now connected- with in iumerable places and spots, loqhs and ;lens, crags and caves, castles: and -ins, churches and abbeys, before icarcely known, but now eagerly sought , ifter by the admirers of his works; and t iow Scotland actually swarms with ourists, attracted by his descriptions, y eautiful and enchanting as they are xith all the eagerness and enthusiasm >f the most impatient curiosity. Their lisbursements in the coumtry must a. nount to a very large aum. It is eta ed that Cadell, tho bookseller and pub- w isher of his works in Edinburgh, has " -ealized from them no less a sum than 4 a] 9179,000 sterling. At one time the antograph mimi cripts of Sir Walter were to be seen at his person's place of business. He a 6" P1 ince removed them allto his housein' a he country, it is said, to avoid tie a' ronble of showing them. He is d& t' erving of severe censure, if for no bet. 0' er reason than this, after making so t plendid a fortune from them, he denies ie public reasonable gratification ' of st eeing them, though it might have cost lie entire attention of a man devoted to h xhibiting them, whose services the pub. a ic wouti have most cheerfully and li- W erally compensated. la Blen Johnson was born in Westmninis-s or, England, in 1574, and was des- h ended from a Scottish family. His fc 'ather died before he was born, and Ben ' was educated at WVestminister School 'i vhiile the great Camden was head mias- a or there. His mother marrying again, e was taken from school to work at his P tep-iiather's trade, which was that ofa a ricklayer. Not being captivated with his employment, he ran away and ~ rent to the Low Countries, wherb he N' lisdinguished himself in a mility ca- i acity. On his return to Englahd,.. ntered St. John's College, wibr[d"e t nd is said to have narrowly ecuon or having killed a person in a duel. Ie afterwards became an actor, and in his connectioniwas intimate with' Shak- ' peare. His "Alchymisat" gained' him I uch reputation that ho was, in 1619, a nade poetlaureat to king 'James ., avid Ii WIaster of Arts at Ox ford.
