THE ANGLO-SAXON. Published in London by Longman & Co. Edited by the Author of Proverbial Philosophy. Agent in Philadelphia, Mr. Moore, 193 Chestnut Street.

We are indebted to the politeness of the Rev. Dr. Lyons for the numbers of this new, original and elegant periodical. Its grand design, as declared in the prospectus, is to promote "unity and brotherly good will" among Anglo-Saxons, and all of Anglo-Saxon origin and relationship throughout the globe. In one of the numbers some light is thrown upon the meaning of that comprehensive appellative “AngloSaxon," which of late has come so generally into use.

"By Saxon race, (says Dr. Knox,) I mean the classic German of antiquity, now represented with more or less admixture by the Norwegian, Swede, Dane, Hollander, &c. . . . The insular Saxon is an offset from the continental; occupies England as distinct from Wales, the eastern coasts of Scotland and of Ireland. In America he is already paramount lord of all the northern portion-there the Saxon, true to his nature, has changed his name; he calls himself an 'American.'. . . The Anglo-Saxon in England stands on neutral ground. Anxious for the statu quo throughout the world, he dreads continental wars. His fleets are ever ready to support dynasties. As a merchant, he intermeddles every where; as a Saxon, his colonies continually threaten revolt. It is the same with Holland, also (peopled by) a thoroughly Saxon race -the twin-brothers in fact of the Saxon English.”

A map is given in the first number, on which are marked the parts of the earth's surface under the rule of the Anglo-Saxon race, and the population of those portions is set down at 188,177,763. This is a wide field for the diffusion of those principles of concord and amity which Mr. Tupper proposes in his magnificent scheme. We regret we have not room for a longer notice; but we heartily wish him success. Certainly he has given us four numbers full of beautiful engravings, replete with interesting matter, and in which we have facts and theory, philosophy, religion and poetry, admirably combined. As an example of the latter, we select the following specimens:

"The blended memories of the good and great,
Whom time has harmonized in excellence,
Are a fair meeting field-let angry hate
And jealous emulance be banished thence,
With sordid creed, and bigot self-pretence.
Thoughts that are holy, actions that are brave—
Counsels of wisdom, words of influence—
These are the sureties that are strong to save."

NOVEMBER.

Nov. 1st. At New Haven, Conn., Hon. ELIZUR GOODRICH, LL.D. at the age of 89.

Mr. Goodrich was one of the very few survivors among the men who figured in public life under the administrations of Washington and the elder Adams. Indeed, since the death of the late Albert Gallatin, he is believed to have been the eldest survivor among the members of Congress during that period.

At Kingston, Rhode Island, SYLVIA TORRY, at the age of 112. Her youngest child lived with her, and was 87.

4th. At Waterloo, Ill., Rev. PETER ROGERS, in his hundredth year. He was one of Washington's life guards in the war of Independence, and perhaps the last of that noble band.

16th. In Germany, Prince LEOPOLD ALEXANDER HOHENLOHE, Bishop of Sardica, Grand Provost and Canon of the Chapter of Groswardein, Hungary, and Mitred. Abbot of St. Michael of Gaborjau, was a scion of the Waldenburg branch of the ancient and illustrious German family of Hohenlohe. The prince was born August 17, 1794, and very early in life devoted himself to the service of religion. His fervour and piety were so ardent, and his prayers in behalf of the sick and afflicted proved so frequently successful, that many believed that he was gifted with a miraculous power. Some five and twenty years ago, this supposed divine attribute created a great sensation, and became the universal theme of conversation. The subject was then much and seriously discussed on both

sides. Since that little or nothing has been heard of the prince, who, it appears, shrank from the strange publicity given to him, and confined himself subsequently to the zealous and exemplary performance of his high clerical and episcopal functions.

Prince Hohenlohe, whatever might be the faith in his miracles, was much esteemed and beloved for the mildness and benevolence of his disposition; and his death is very generally regretted.

24th. In England, Lady CHARLOTTE LINDSAY, an accomplished and highly gifted woman, the last surviving child of the celebrated statesman, Lord North. She was one of the household of Caroline, Princess of Wales.

26th. In Rhode Island, Mrs. HENSHAW, the mother of Bishop Henshaw, at the age of 79. She was devotedly pious, and anticipated death with calm composure. On the day of her death, she withdrew to her room, apparently well, and in fifteen minutes after she was found by one of her daughters seated in the same arm chair in which her husband had died in 1825-her spectacles on-the Bible and Prayer-Book on the stand before her not a limb, feature or muscle moved, perfectly life-like; but her heart had ceased to beat.

27th. At Macon, Georgia, Gen. DUNCAN J. CLINCH. He was for many years an officer in the United States army. He served with high distinction in the war of 1812, was retained as a colonel upon the reduction of the army at its close, soon acquired a brevet as brigadier general, and with that rank, commanded in Florida in 1835-6, at the commencement of the Seminole war. He was truly a hero at the battle of Withalacoochee. He was afterwards a member of Congress, and recently a candidate for Governor of Georgia. He was "a soldier without reproach, and an honest man."

At Roxbury, Mass., JOSEPH ADAMs, in the hundredth year of his age.

DECEMBER.

Dec. 1st. In England, EBENEZER ELLIOTT, the celebrated "cornlaw rhymer," and devoted friend of humanity, at the age of 70. If Scott be the poet of Tweedside, and Wordsworth of the Lakes, to Elliott, assuredly, belong the heights and dales of Yorkshire-and, yet more, its "broad towns," in which manufacture is unable to destroy or efface the elements of poetry that lie in the human heart, "with all its dreams and sighs.

At Canonsburgh, S. C., Capt. JOHN WILLIAMSON, of the U. S. army. He was a native of N. Jersey, and an accomplished officer. In England, WILLIAM CHARLES KEPPEL, Earl of Albemarle, at
