indispensable compulsion. I have lately referred to the maxims in Hamlet, but they are found repeated by Shakspeare. For as Hamlet is led to ruin by the Ghost, so is Macbeth by the Witches, Hekate, and the super-witch, his wife, Brutus by his friend, in which condition they are not equal to their lot; so also in Coriolanus one finds something similar; enough, a free-will that transcends the power of the individual is modern. But as Shakspeare does not arouse it from within, but allows it to be brought about by external causes, thereby he manifests the art of compulsion, and approaches the antique. For all the heroes of poetical antiquity, would do only what is possible for man, and thence arises the beautiful equilibrium between free will, compulsion and consummation; yet his compulsion is always ruder than what we might expect, when our admiration is aroused. The necessity which more or less, or perfectly excludes all freedom is no longer agreeable with our disposition; nevertheless Shakspeare has approached this in his own way, for while he makes necessity moral, he thus unites the old and new world to our delightful astonishment. If we would learn something of him, here is the point which we must study in his school. Instead of seeking after our romantic style, which may not be reproved or disregarded, to exalt it exclusively beyond moderation, and to yield oneself up to it in a one-sided way, whereby the strong, substantial, vigorous side is mistaken and allowed to go to ruin; we should seek to unite within ourselves only so much the more, every great and apparently irreconcilable contrast, as a great and inimitable master, which we prize so highly, and often without knowing why, beyond all pre-conception, has already performed in a really miraculous manner. It is true he had this advantage, that he came just at the harvest-time, that he, in the course of his life, dared influence a protestant land, where bigotted opinions were quiet for a long while, so that a true naturally religious man, like Shakspeare, remained in freedom-unbound by any precise form to unfold religiously his own pure internal religion. The foregoing was written in the summer of 1813, let no one criticize and find fault, but only remember the above sayings, that at the present time also there was an individual attempt, merely to show how the different poetical spirits endeavored, in their own way, to unite and dissolve every extraordinary contrariety, among such a variety of presented appearances. To say more would be as superfluous as if one should call attention from all sides since the time alluded to, to this question; and beyond that we have obtained an excellent exposition. Above all others I will mention Blumner's highly valuable treatise on the idea of destiny in the tragedy of schylus, and of the excellent review in the supplemental pages of the Jenaian Literary Gazette. Wherefore without proceeding further on this, I will turn to the third point, which relates immediately to the German theatre and to that peculiarity which Schiller has seized upon to confirm it for the future.

MUNIFICENT BEQUEST.

THE WILL OF THE LATE JUDGE MULLANPHY.

Those only who have observed the diseased and destitute condition of a portion of the foreign emigrants who arrive in St. Louis, can fully appreciate the value of the bequest made in their behalf, or the enlightened benevolence which dictated the last will of the late Judge Bryan Mullanphy of this city. It is natural that one possessed of property should bequeath it to his relatives, or personal friends; and hence the individual who regards the claims of suffering humanity as being paramount to those of his immediate relations, provided their condition is above want, may be regarded as a moral hero.

The immediate relations of the deceased are all in the enjoyment of large fortunes, and doubtless rejoice in this manifestation of his moral worth.

The property bequeathed to the city of St. Louis, in trust for the benefit of foreign emigrants, is estimated to be worth two hundred thousand dollars.

The following is a copy of the will as published in the Missouri Republican:

"I, Bryan Mullanphy, do make and declare the following to be my last will and testament

One equal undivided third part of all my property, real, personal and mixed, I leave to the City of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, in trust and to be and constitute a fund to furnish relief to all poor emigrants and travellers coming to St. Louis on their way bona fide to settle in the West.

I do appoint Felix Coste and Peter G. Camden to be executors. of this my last will and testament, and of any other will or executory devise that I may leave.-All and any such document will be found to be olograph, all in my own hand writing.

BRYAN MULLANPHY.

[Seal.]

The above was signed in the presence of witnesses and deposited with the Mayor of the City of St. Louis 31st August, 1849,* and was admitted to Probate at the late June term of the Probate Court for St. Louis county.

• Judge Mullanphy died on thed 15th ay of June, 1851.

EMIGRATION OF PAUPERS.

[From the New York Sun.]

During the last three or four weeks, several hundred paupers have been landed at New York in a starving and diseased condition. The majority of these, it appears, are taken from the poor house, in the South of Ireland, by the land owners, on whose property they have been living, and who, for their support, are forced to pay poor rates, which are levied on the land at so much per acre. It may be seen from this, how desirous these land proprietors are to get rid of such burdens. Accordingly, they take them from the poor houses, or off the land, and contract with the captains of English vessels to ship them to some American port at a reduced rate per head, in consideration of the number. The food they receive during the passage, is of the very worst description, and this, combined with the sickness consequent on a long sea voyage, renders them fit subjects for the hospital, on their arrival. Some are so exhausted with disease and hunger, that they often do not survive the voyage, while others die a few days after landing. On Sunday last, about one hundred of these miserable creatures might be seen in an almost naked and famishing state, in Broadway, begging the charity of the passers. Many of these were formerly honest, independent farmers, in their own country, before the famine, and bad legislation, together, reduced them to poverty and starvation. There are also, we understand, a large number living in the last stages of disease in some of the most loathsome cellars at the end of Washington and Greenwich streets where they are unable to obtain that medical attention which their condition requires.

Among those who are engaged in sending these unfortunate beings to this country, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and the Knight of Kerry, have rendered themselves conspicuous. These are at present engaged, as we learn from some of their former tenants, in making arrangements for the whole-sale deportation of the paupers on their estates, numbering altogether two or three thousand persons.
