A biography of Assh?*ton Smi'b, ibe jreat Nimrod of England, lias just been published in London, and fioin a review of t we take the following passage: This hero, not only of fox-hunting, buf if all sports?for he was a first rute shot, ' rii ki-t^r, boxer, billiard player and sailor, is well as rider and huntsman?was formed t?y nature for his part. \ lie was one of the ' igiii inc.lit tor exertion and endurance? ive feet ten inchcs?willi a well proportioned, muscular, rather fclight fraipe, weighing en stone in his early days, and latterly ' ibout eleven siono ten. Once only Wfr* found a man who could stand before hit* ists, and that man said that his blow was ' ike the kick of a home. The story of his jrcat set-to with the coal heaver, who bad truck his horse, is alreadv nrettr ??lt ' > , :nown. His features wvre plain, and not ndicative of high breeding, but intelligent, nd full of the ralmness of perfect eelf pos- ' ession and a resolute will. The son of a ;reat sportsman he whs in the saddle from ' lis childhood, and so c?>mph;tely did lie ' ;row to it, that it was the pillow of sick- ^ ii'Bo, and the srra chair of his age. , I A prine-dy fortune enabled bim to carry n his calling in a princely style*, and mar- ( ying at fifty one, be bad no family cares t o turn bin mind from tbe main object of lis life. Lie had tbe eye of a hawk, and lot only for a line ncu>6? couniry. but for >ther things. A l>ox of papers was stolen rom his study. He called in all Lis serervnnts, questioned them all around, and * eceived from tliem all a denial. One of 1 hem afterward returned to the room to put * oats on the fire. He collared bitn at once, 1 nd the man confessed himself guilty. He 1 ad rend guilt in hie face. His temper waft oi, and once he appeared before a police < lHgUtrnte for thrashing tlie son of tbe at- ' orney to a bubble railroad who bad 1 rought in his bill. Be was good and 1 teadv friend nnd hater, and generally rath 1 r ol stinate, coming of sire who, having < pponed I be making of Menai Bridge, < 'ould never cross it when it was made.? < ii the hunting field his tongue was sharp c ut not foul. 'Now, then, sir, if you don't 'I tiink you've done harm enough ride * rough my bounds again ; but if you I link you bave you may aa well go home.' 1 Tbe dietetics of a man who rode Lard 1 rith bounflft till eighty are worth knowing.

He cAat do t lift. On coming;home from hunting he J ?ed to go to.bedrfor an hour, and then in- * > a warm bath b*foreigner, He hardly * rer wore ?.great coat. In hie latter days ' e took to the water cure, and wafted it- ' ry "body etto to tak^t^ it. \ He w?s a dwperptftipder ia tbe JWf aenae * f the U-rtti. Perhaps no o?ber man e?er >de deliberately and habitually for | fM. He used to -aay that with a 11 -A > WW\ \ * - *<4 - , . full, you might get over anything; and that any man who professed to ride ought to know how to fall, and in his tumbles never but twice broke a bone; and of the two times, onca for having a clasp knife in his breast pocket. He always fell clear of his lior^e, and never let go the bridle.? Once when bis horse was plunging round him as he lay on the ground with the briI die clinrhcd in his hand, a nervous friend called out to hiin to let go or he would be I 1_? I l ? : kk-kcu. no replied, 'He shall kick my I brains out first.' In making a cast, as in tlie run, lie went without hesitation straight ever everything where the scent lay, and to this his success as a huntsman was pnrtly due. On one occasion, at the close of a run, ho rode up hill over a fence,csirrying away the top rail, which, when the top rail, which, when tbe top rail had been carried away, no other man in the fit-Id would look at. Finding the pate at the end of one of tbe two parallel bridges locked, he leaped clear over both rails to the other bridge. One day, in a hard frost, he persuaded a master of hounde with whom he was staying just to put the hounds into covert and ' let them find a fox, and, the fox being found, went away with them, and ha-* a hard run 1 over the iron ground?a *pree, the thought 1 of which sets one's teeth on edge. People were not astonished to sec him go straight over the most tremendous hut I I * """ were surprised to 6eo that he did not even look round at tbe leap when he was over. Though a desperate rider he was not a ' wild one, but on tbe contrary, most jiidi- ' cious, and gave his horse every chance.? ( H is hand was unequaled, and horses which ' no one else < ould manage were tractable ' with him. He never lost bis temper with ' animals. His horse knew it was useless to ( refuse with him. una nf ^ , ..?? v. tucui ivnjjru with him into the middle of the pond, f which he had unconsciously ridden up to, 1 with his head turned away, and which the f t or.se thought it his duty to take. Ilis ? hounds hailed his approach; with joy, afar off. though lie only hunted and never led 1 them. lie was absolute m f. ^ and nil that belonged to it, and what the r Duke of Wellington was to our other Eng ' lish Gent-rals, that was Asshetou Smith to 9 other English huntsmen. Nor was lie master of the sportsman's j* waft alone. His wtrong Reuse and warm hi-art m?de him in other ways a useful ? man. He did a great deal of good, real ? g.Mid.andin a judicious way. among the ^ poor on his estates, esp?*eially among quar rj 111 vii on u is great quarries in Wales, lie saw the great fact that property is the root of a social virtue, and gave each of his men 8 as far as lie could, a few acres of waste ? land, which they of course, turned into a * garden! ilo was a builder of churches ^ nnd of schools, and the clergymen of his parishes found his hand always free. He ^ bad a great torn fur mechanical contrivan- 11 ceii, and was a great ship builder. He even ? (lis; uted willi Mr. Scott Russell the meritJ(? rjf having originated the "wave line." He *' is said also to have bc?-n the first who sug ^ Sf?-sted our fleet of gun-boats. What it sur r prises U9 more to hear, is that he. whs not without literature.

HAYOTB. We take the following beautiful extract from the chaste, elegant and vigorous oration of Thomas M. Hanokel. It in a life picture of one of South Carolina's most gifted sons?one whose forensic encounter in the United States Senate with the great Webster, was perhaps as great an intellectual conflict as has taken place in modern parliamentary History, rivalling, and we think fully equaling those of Demosthenes and ^E?c.hine9 and Cicero and Ilortensius. ! "I need not say to you that Mr. Ilayne was a bright example of all the b^t quali i ties of our public men; tlmt liia life was pure, and his intellect cle: r, vigorous and commanding; tfiat as he was energetic, firm and enthusiastic, so was he frink, patient, gencrons and courteous. Ilis public life comprises a period of the most intense 1 political excitement in the State, yet < through all its storn.s, those great qualities i shone brightly out. His mind and .his ] uharacter were both eminent!? nr?Ki!m>l i , -"I I aud as the most prominent feature of his I character was an "ardent, zealous and uncalculat'ng' devotion to duty; so wai he able to present the reasons and considerations which had satisfied his own mind with 11 clearness and a force of argument which carried conviction to others, and with a t>eauty of language, and eloquence of expression and gallant enthusiasm, which warmed and de'.ighted his hearers. He | was one of the handsomest men of liia dar J, ? ind no one wlio baa seen him will forget t .lie bright and beautiful smile which beam- I ;d from hifi eye atid played in the line of i jis lips, nor the outlines of his noble brow, < narked with lines of patriotic anxiety, but i villi no trace of unworthy passion or selfish i !?re on its lofty front. Long will I remera- 1 >er the last tiinn I saw him in life, sitting e unong our professors on the platform of < he old College Chapel. IIis presence that I lay among the useful students of the State, 1 eemed to me like the floal evenings of 1 tpring, and the memory of.his life liku t I " * * * no iruiuui snowers oi Summer, which i ring *tie glad harvests of Autumn. His t neniory should, I think, be peculiarly dear i> the people of South Carolina; for he i tRB her faithful representative and her lova' I liHTDpion in tbo hour of her sorest tri.-.l i nd her greatest need. It should be proud 1 v cherished by the City of Charleston, not i inly because he was her own ??n, but be- t Huse lie was her own son, but because in i is declining years he put off the nonors of I be Executive, to become her first Mayor, <j nd lent a dignity and grxco to the office, a uicu 11 nas never since lost. Hi* memory c lion Id be especially grateful lo the women v f South Carolina, not only for the pure \ mJ gentle (Traces of bis domesliu life, but a ecause all who remember to have heard t .irn ?p?-ak, muBt remember with what ti raeeful eloquence and'kuighily tenderne?s d t was wont ?o appeal to 'the fair daughters ti f Carolina.' It wa a?favorite passnge in U I! his public addresses, and it seemed as i! a e desired to invoke the purity and ibe u eutleness of woman to preside over the p uder conflicts of political life, and to at* s ^st that the bearing of every combatant ? 'as the bearing of a true knight, thai ev- & ry blow was fairly delivered and every ei ince was gallantly broken. I have paused a > pay this tribute to the memory of Hob n rt Y.

It in, besides, n little romance in itself, and mou peculiarly interesting to the admirers of Kmi. (ju Stael: I hesitate, from the apprehension of ridicule, when I approached the delicate subject of my early love. Uy this word I dtf not mean the polite attention the gallantry, without hope or design, which has originated in the spirit of chivalry, and interwoven with tfte texture of French manners, ['understand by this passion the union of Jest^e, friendship and tenderness, whirh is inflxnied by a single female, wliu-li prefers her to tbe rest of her pex and which peeks her possession as the supremo or the whole Lappiness of our being. I need not blush at recollecting the object of my choice; ?nd though my love was disappointed of success. I am rather proud that I was one capable of feeling such a pure and exalted sentiment. The personal attraction of Mademoiselle Susan Curchod were embelished bv the virtues and talents of the nind. Hit fortune was humble, but her Vfmily was respectable, llrr mother, a na,i'-e of France, hau preferred her religion o her country ! The profession of her at her did not extinguish the moderation md philosophy of his temper, and Jie lived content with a small salary and laborious luty, in the obscure lot of minister of Craffy, n the mountains tbat separate the Aays de Vaud from.the country Burgundy. In the lolitude of h sequestered village, he bestowid a liberal, and even learned, education on lis daughter. She surpassed bis hopes by ler proficiency in the languages; and in ler visits to Fomo relations at Lausanne, he wit, the beauty and erudition of Madunoisellc Curchod were the theme of uni- j 'ersal applause. The report of such a ptorligy awakened ny curiosity ; I saw and loved.
