had a plan of giving, as a farewell to his friends, a private reading in a large hall, and a supper afterwards. I doubt the expediency of the supper. Such an entertainment for the benefit of the stomachs of several hundred persons will hardly serve any pleasant purpose of hospitality that shall be at all commensurate with the necessary expense. I can imagine, too, that it might be an unfortunate failure. Pray call Felton's attention to this matter,—as I believe he is stage manager. Mr. Calvert is here, whose name has a slight odor of literature. We have talked about Longfellow, whose friend he is. His admiration of James Lowell, whom he knows not, seems unbounded. He said he was very indignant with the North American Review for its want of appreciation of Lowell. I was pleased to hear such earnest praise from lips uninfluenced by friendship or the bonds of a coterie. I hope you will find time to write me once more. If any thing comes from Europe that will be interesting, se

at point in some of her studies, that, at his request, she undertook to render some selections of German philosophy into English for him. But I believe this attempt was soon abandoned. She found a valuable friend in the late Miss Mary Rotch, of New Bedford, a woman of great strength of mind, connected with the Quakers not less by temperament than by birth, and possessing the best lights of that once spiritual sect. At Newport, Margaret had made the acquaintance of an elegant scholar, in Mr. Calvert, of Maryland. In Providence, she had won, as by conquest, such a homage of attachment, from young and old, that her arrival there, one day, on her return from a visit to Bristol, was a kind of ovation. In Boston, she knew people of every class,—merchants, politicians, scholars, artists, women, the migratory genius, and the rooted capitalist,—and, amongst all, many excellent people, who were every day passing, by new opportunities, conversations, and kind offices, into the sacred circle

Machinery for printing calicoes. --An idea may be formed of the extraordinary influence which the introduction of machinery and improvements in engraving have had in cheapening the cost of printed calicoes, from the statement made in one of Professor Calvert's lectures, that large furniture patterns, such as are required for some of the Oriental markets, and into which sixteen colors and shades enter, would have cost formerly from seven to nine dollars per piece, because they would have required sixteen distinct applications of as many different blocks, and would have required more than a week in printing, whereas the same piece can now be printed in a single operation, which takes three minutes, and cost about one dollar and a half. So rapid is the progress of one branch of manu facture in connection with another, that it has only recently been possible to produce the rollers capable of performing this operation, that is to say, cylinders of copper forty-three inches in circumf

riday created intense excitement in Baltimore. The Sun says: The news of the attack on Fort Sumter was not generally known until late on Friday afternoon, and by many persons it was doubted. On Saturday morning, however, despite the rain storm that prevailed, the people flocked from every direction to the newspaper offices, all anxious to glean anything that would throw any information on the subject. The sidewalks were crowded so as to be almost impassable on Baltimore street, from Calvert to Holliday street. There was a general impression that Fort Sumter would have to yield under the severe fire of the batteries opposing it, but the wish was uttered from every one that Major Anderson and his garrison might escape unharmed. The telegram which brought the news that the Federal fleet was outside the bar at Charleston, created the idea in some that relief would be afforded to Sumter, though most people were sanguine that it would have to fall. In the forenoon a politicia

Maryland. --We have just conversed with a gentleman from Aquasco District, Prince George's county, Maryland, and we are informed that quite a serious disturbance took place there on the day of election of a member of Congress. Mr. Calvert, it will be remembered, was the Union candidate, and Mr. Harris the candidate of the Southern States-rights party. A large number of men went down from Washington, and, at an early hour, took possession of the ballot box. Mr. Jarbos, of the old fields, near Upper Marlborough, seeing a man whom he knew to be a Washington soldier place a pistol at the head of a man who had a Harris ticket in his hand, walked over and killed the miscreant on the spot. In less than ten minutes a company of soldiers, one hundred strong, marched in, and placing a halter round Jarboe's neck, conducted him to Washington. This is the way in which Abe intends to crush out Secession in the South.

the Sun building and spoke jeeringly of Col. Kane and the city authorities. This exasperated the crowd who had gathered there, and had it not been for the presence of a number of policemen, who protected Manly, he would have been severely dealt with. The crowd cheered for Col. Kane and Jefferson Davis, and for some time it was feared that there would be a serious outbreak. Through the efforts of the police the people were in a great measure dispersed. Still, however, the sidewalks from Calvert to Holliday streets were thronged with an excited multitude, discussing the events of the morning. The Exchange remarks, editorially-- The people of Maryland have at last been compelled to drain to its bitter dregs the cup of humiliation which conquerors ever press to the lips of a subjugated people. Their State was once the very sanctuary of freedom — and now! her liberties are prostrate in the dust; her rights are overthrown; and her citizens hold property and life at the suffer
