and so did not get to her Ladyship's till about eleven o'clock. As I entered her brilliant drawing-room, she came forward to receive me with that bewitching manner and skilful flattery which still give her such influence. Ah, Mr. Sumner, said she, how sorry I am that you are so late! Two of your friends have just left us,—Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Brougham; they have been pronouncing your éloge. She was, of course, the only lady present; and she was surrounded by D'Orsay, Bulwer, Disraeli, Duncombe, the Prince Napoleon, and two or three lords— Her house is a palace of Armida, about two miles from town. It once belonged to Wilberforce. The rooms are furnished in the most brilliant French style, and flame with costly silks, mirrored doors, bright lights, and golden ornaments. But Lady Blessington is the chief ornament. The world says she is about fifty-eight; by her own confession she must be over fifty, and yet she seems hardly forty: at times I might believe her twenty-five. She

n? I dined with Prescott yesterday. I always enjoy him very much. For you he has a most affectionate friendship, which he expresses to me constantly. In the Times of May 4 is a very interesting debate on universal suffrage, brought on by Duncombe presenting the petition of the Chartists. Lord John's speech is very good. Mark how gently he alludes to the United States. Macaulay's speech, though not wanting in force, fails in tact and address. I wonder there was not a laugh at his allusion to distress experienced under pecuniary difficulties. Speech on the People's charter, May 3, 1842; Macaulay's Speeches, Vol. I. 310-319. Duncombe must have started at it. Good-by. Ever and ever yours, Charles Sumner. To Longfellow he wrote, June 6, 1842:— It is artillery election-day, and the streets are full of happy throngs, and the Common is blackened by the multitude. . . . I received to-day an invitation from the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Dartmouth College to deliver th

Peace resolutions in the Senate of Iowa. We copy the following from the Dubuque (Iowa) Herald, of May 31st: We are gratified in being able to lay before our readers the following resolutions introduced into the Senate of this State by Mr. Duncombe, and the vote by which the Senate refused to lay it on the table. This is an indication that there is still left a healthy conservative constitutional sentiment in Iowa, which needs but a favorable opportunity to manifest itself for the preservation of at least a remnant of the Union, and some of the political rights resulting from the acknowledgment of the Independence of the United States: Whereas, At this time nearly one-third of the States of this Union have taken upon themselves the responsibility of withdrawing their allegiance to the Federal Government, and have established a Confederate Government separate from the Government of the United States, and establishing a Constitution Republican in form, and have sent Commi

hort of his duty in this matter. The eighth resolution declares in favor of foreign immigration. A new hid for the foreign vote. The ninth goes for a Pacific railroad, which probably secures all parties concerned in that project. The death pledges the national faith for the redemption of the public debt, which will be accepted as a good thing by Mr. Secretary Chase's bondholders. The eleventh declared for the maintenance of the Monroe , which, in winding up, is a pretty good thing for Duncombe. Negro suffrage, negro equality, miscegenation, free love, and woman's rights, &c., are among the reforms which the Convention turned out of doors, with a mixed delegation of army setters and contrabands, whites and blacks, from south Carolina. What Wendell Philips and his radical faction will say to this we think it will not be difficult to conjecture. The developments of a very few days we apprehend, from a popular reaction among Radicals and Conservatives, war men and peace men, R
