No. 11.Last night I was at the Opera.

Bulwer and D'Or-ay, by the wa.,.seemed to have formed an alliance to in-troduce the while cravat, as they were theonly men at the opera who wore them.-They are no longer dotnicillod together,the Count having given up his sepan,;e e<-tablihment. and living now ahogether atGoreHouse, Lady Blessington's residence.D'Orsay's beauty is in high preservamiin.but he has reformed his liW-- altocelier,drinks milk, and goes to hell at 1U o'elock.(not A.

Lady B's additional sPglendors of' etuipaue.There is a dash of melancholv grown

over D'Orsay's face since I saw him,which is not unbecotine. I would not

give much for what remains for hin to

discover in the fieldsof pleasure, yet ifeverman was capable of its keenest zest, itwas "le beant D'Orsay" at twenty.Lady Bulwer and Sir Edw:itd nre, as

Ithas happeued to me, not once, but severaltimes, to be asked the question. and itieI have been obliged to rob him of the honorof the great Dictionary. The literary,political, and legal men, however. throngaround Mr. Webster, and pay him all thehonor and deference whieh his warnestfriends to A nericia could exw;i-t or desire.I met him at Hallam's the hismorian, a

night or two since. where were SidneySmith, Babbidge, Milman Mills, MWar..ady, and a troop of other bright spirits atthe time. and his fine hetud was the focusof all eyes and thomights.

He is the hatdsomestman lever saw.humps or nob imps. Lookat his stuile!" I do not know whethermuch of this sort of tribute was expected,

' but Mr. Webster is likely to reap as manycompliments as laurels abroad.The Atne-rican merchants in London, I see, art, togive him a dinner, and be is overwhelmedwith nttentious, private and public.There are great nuimbers of American

ladies in London at present, and ihey seemto he a good deal the fashion. Mrs. VanBuren's quiet and high-bred matnners arevery muc'h talked off, and the M1ajor hin-self, like his brother, has been receivedquite as a prince rtyal-a-rnited to the,oor of the House of Lord, &c..-MisSedwick is here, but she seetms to require atru mpeter.

THE FIRST STATUE OF CANOVA.There are. doubtless, feiw of our readers

who have not heard ientioned with honorthe name of the great Canova, that skilfulsculptor of modern times, whose admira-bl* statues almo-o eqal the master-pieceswhich Grecian anitiqutity has transtmittedto us. Canova. like many other greatmten, owed his rise solely to himself.-l)ilient labhor wa~s the only source of hisfort une, and the first attempts (of his infaticy presaged the success of his mature age.Canova was an Italian, the sont of a ma-

son. All the education which he receivedlfrom his~ fathe-r consisted in learning thebusiness oIf his trade. As sootn as hisstreuth pertmitted, lhe learned to handlethe trowel and the hammer, to mix theplaster and to place the aravel-oceapa-tons which he discharged withI sufficientzeal andi activily to be soon ahle to serveas 'he journeymatn or rather the comp~an-ion o.f his father,niotwithtstatdinig hti youth.But in the frequent intervals of repose,w hiic.hisweakntess rendered indhispetnsa ble,he amuuased himself lby observing lie differ-put objects which he sawv about him-withsketchintg them rotughily with brick or hatrdstotne upon the wall against vwhieb heleantetd, or even with1 motdelling their fhrttsin the plaster and cemiettt whtich lie hadmiixedl. These constanit exercises, practi-ced with ats much perseverance as intelli-gence, sotn rendered himt fatmiliar withthe practice of dlrawintg andt oif sculpturein relief.

reveal iti till the world.ii father had been summoned to make

some repairs in the. country house of arich lord .f the neighborhood. He had ta-ken his son wvith himn, according tocustomn,to act as his journeyman, atnd the genteelcarriage of the little Canova'soon procuredhitm the affe~ction oif the chief cook and ofall the s.cullions of the house, so that, thedays's work being ended, Canova did notstir from the pantry, where he executedin crumbs of bread or in plaster, grotesquefigures anad caricatures, which delightedthe valets, and in return they fed him inthe style of my lord.One day there was an entermainment at

thie counttry house. Canova was io thekithten, playing with the scullions, whenthey suddeunly heard a cry of despair fromthe pantry, and saw the head cook comingout in alarm, throwing up his. cap, strikinghis breast and tearintgjgis hair. After the

irst moments of astonmshment, they crow-ded routnd hitm. "T am lost, "' he cried,SI ant lost !My magnificent master-piece tnmy palace, which I had built forthe dinner ! see itn what a condition it is!"Atid with a pathetic gesture, he showed

an edifice of pastry. which he had justrawn from the oven. Alas, it was burnt,overed with ashes, anid half demolished.There was a general cry of surprise andrief." What is to ho done?" dcemandcd the

chief cook ; "here is the dinner hour. Ihave not time to make anot her. I am lost!My lord expects for the dessert sonethiugremarkable. lie will turn me away!"

During these lamentations, Canovawaked round the demolisbed palace andconsidered it with attentttin.

"Is this for eating ?" he inquired."Oh! no, my little one," answered the

chief cook, - it is only to look at."" Ah well, all is safe. I promise you

someihing better than that in an hour fromnow. Hand rue that lutp of butter."The chief cook, astonished, but already

half persuaded by his boldness, gave himall beaanted ; and of tis lump of butter,Canovamnade a superb lion, w hich hesprinkled with meal, mounted on a pedestal of rich architecture, and hefore the bppointed hour, exhibited his finished workto the wondering spectators.

guests. Never had they seen, said they,sorentarkablea piece of sculpture. Theydemanded the author of it.

" Doubtless one of my people," answer-ed my lord, with a satisfied air, and he ask-.ed the chief cu k.

He blushed. stammered, atndi eled byconfessing what had happen- d. All theComttpany wished to see the young journey-mit, and overwhelmed Canova withpraisee. It was decided at once that thetoaster of the household should take chargeofhim.and have him go thro'igh sttaliessttitable to his precocious talent.Ti'lway had no cause to repent of this dci-sioti.

MAYOR'S OFFICE.Aug~usta, August 21st, 1839-5 P. M.During the early part of the last week,

five cases of Fever occutred in the secondWard of ouir city, which terminated fatal-ly otn the 18th and 19th inst. Some ap-prehentsiotns having been excited by thtsutnusual circumustatnce, I have consultedthe miedicalgetlemnen in rehttion to thecharacter and supposed origin of the dis-ease.The Faculty have rep~orted, that the dis-

ease nlluded to, varied in no material fea-tures from those fregntently exhibited inthe ordinary stummter and nurttmnal fevers,of all sonat hern climtaztes--thta it was neitherinfectious nor contagious-that it was con-finecd to narrow litits, an~d originated insomew local cautses, which have sitnce beenremtoved. The general health of' our citywnas never better than at thte present mo-ment. By p)reserving attention to thecleanliness of the lots, I feel assured thatour citizetns will be enabled to maintain thereputtation of Augusta, as the healthiestCity in the Southertn States.

The Nautucket Enquir,-r says, that . inthe town of Nantucketeontaining a popu-lauion of nearly ten thousand souls, thereare but three hundred subscribers for theEtnquirer, the only newspaper published inthe county." It must be acknowledlgedthat this ntutmber of subseribers only, to a

paper, tonks like a poor btusiaess for aneditor. Btut what prudent edbitoror pub-lisher would not prefer this numler. smallas it is, toea much larger one of non-payingsubscribers ! Some editors boast mitch ofthe numerous names which ther have ontheir hooks. They speak withgreat comt-placency, of 30.000 or 40,000 subscribers!Some papers which we have seen, pro-claim every week, to the world that theyhave upwards of30,000 readers. Now, towhat, does all this vain boasting anmount ?Probably, one-hair or two-thirds of thesesubscribers do not pay once, in four or fiveyears, or not at all. Still the expenses oifthese establishments, which must necessa-

rily be v'ery heavy, are going on at a fear-ful rate. In the course of time, as is " eliknown, the puliishers often fail, and
