The late Archibald Alexander. D.D., LL.D That portion the Protestant Church which nt periods or in dirTrrent parts of the country has been known by the name ot Pu? ritan, flMSJOglti malist, or Presbyterian, has nut oDly a large number of individuals af great ability and Paming. httt several inn lies of rentaihahlp We need lionthe Mathers, the the Dwights, am) the BaulTwiM. to illustrate this fact. The Aleianders are not less dutinjrnished.

Al Ai.i xAM'Kk, who died fall of paara and honors, at Princi ton. on Tuesday morning, area ene of the giants of these days am! tha father of a race of giants. The name ha- become rencra ble and sacred, and its distinction is iMf not only to continued, but to be mere-seel by its awing inheritors The late Professor of Theology in the San aary mi the Presbyterian Chnreh ai New-Jersey, was born oa the I7th of April, 171t, on the banks of a small tributary of the James Hirer, called South River, and near the western foot of the Blue Ridge, in that par: of Augusta County, Virginia, which has State, from the great natural curiosity it contains, been named KocBbridfO. He was iaactwded by both from Presbyterian-, of Scotland, who emigrated first to Ireland, and thence to America. He eduea'ed at Liberty Hall Academy, which has since become Washington College, under instructions ot the founder of that Kev iiiiam Graham an able and eminent preacher and profeeeOT.

Beai i Mr. tiraham, hie classical taachert were James I'nestly, afterward President ol Cumberland College, Tennessee, and Archibald Roane, afterward tiovernor of Tennessee. Jn the Summer of 1789, he joined in the full communion of the Church, and commenced the etndy of Theology under Mr Graham, who had a class of six or eight students. He was li? censed to preach by the Presbytery Ol I.exing len, October 1, 1701, and wa- ordniaarl OB the Mh of May. Part of the intervening years he spent in it in erant labors in Virginia, and in that region which now Ohio.

In the Spring of 1797 Be bectUWt President of Hampden Sydney College, in the county of Prince Edward, at the same time i mg pastor ot the Churches ol and Cum? berland Hi was now hut twenty-five years old, and it may safely he alleged thai there was nev er won in this country, at so early an age, a more brilliant or a purer reputation. His arduous and reponsable duties were discharged with industry and energy, rgatl to his abilities, until health gare way, and. in the spring of 1801, lie resigned these charges, in well-grounded apprehension ol a settled pulmonary consumption. The Summer of MM was spent by Mr. Alex? ander in traveling on horseback through New Kurland, and by this means he so lar recovered bis health as fa resume the Presidency ol the College ami the harre ol his parishes.

Altout the same time he was married to Jane; te Wad dell, second daughter of Rev. Joints that remarkable preacher whose blindness and eloquence have been celebrated by Mr. Wirt ia the The British In the Autumn of 1808 be received a call from the Third Presbyterian Church, at the corner of Pine and Fourth sts in Philadelphia. Though he had declined an invitation to the same church ten years before, he accepted this, and thus be? came a second time the successor ot the Rev. John Hlair Smith, D.D.

He continued at tin post until, in the Spring of 1818, he was sum? moned by the (ieneral Assembly of the Presby? terian Church to be- the first Professor in ths Theological Seminary then tust founded at Princeton This chair we belie ve he occupied until his within a few weeks, at least, discharging all its honorable duties It is pleasing fact that the lirst two Professors in tins Institution were associated its service nearly forty years During this period a large number of clergymen have proceeded Irom the Seminary, and it has now not far Irom one hun? dred and fifty students. It is important to ob? serve that it has no connection with the College of New Jersey, at the same place. The eminent usetulness ol Dr Alexander is not to be measured by the long ami wi.se discharge vf his duties as Professor He was a volumi? nous, very able ami popular writer, in addition to occasional sermous and discourses, and nu? merous smaller treatises, he wrote constantly for PrtnotoH stretsw, a quarterly miscellany ol literature, and theological and general learning, of the highest character, which is now in the twenty-seventh year ol its publication Uu work on Tkt ssssdfwess th' CAristisa ftrAgi'ea has passet! through numerous editions in Ure.nl Britain as well as America, snd this, as well as his Trtatist on th' Canon uf hich has also been republished abroad, are believe has appeared in two or three otln i lainruaees '1 he substance ot the latter has. bowev, been incor? porated with liior? recent editious ol the tormei, under the title mi gVsfcnsN of th' Anthmtt itv, Inspiration arid Caasaa ol Auth it, mf tkt ly Scriptum, of which a tilth edition -the last we have published in Philadelphia Among his oih, works are THaiejafi a Comprndof lUbi Tiuth, mid I lory Colonitntion on thr It rstrrn Ceasf i the last an octavo volume et more than six hundred pages, published Philadelphia in iMtti His principal wilting, however, bars been unpractical religion an i on the History and Biography ol the Church, and these tat the noaf part have been published anonymously.

Prefaaaor of Oriental Literature ta the Theological Seminary at Princeteui. and author ol the well-known works on the Karlter and the Later tan of Isaiah. He is generally regarded as one of the meat profound ami sagacious scholars of ihe present age.

that interval the great city has expanded in all directions, exhibiting a growth which, under ihe circumstances, is quite as raw arkaWe as that of New-York. Brcmpton, a. Putney, and the other suburban villages on weet in a rapid state of annexation, and continuous lines of building extern! nearly to Hempstea' ind Highgate. I can with difficulty find my old land- marks in the suburbs. But the built-up portion at the city does not change the houses are old snd smoky as ever.

The Exhibition, however, has given a much more interesting character to the crowds in the streets. Creat numbers of rinn; al? ly French and Herman, are now in the city, and Ihe people have grown so accustomed to BM heavy beards and ferocious moustaches, instead of smooth chins and mutton-chop whiskers, that a little deviation from the ordinary English standard of dress and appearance, attracts no attention. When I first visited London I found myself stared at rather too much for convenience, for wearing a collar turned down, after the fashion of American youth but now I might appear with one as broad as the Hutchinson family's, and be passed by without notice. All the sights of the city (especially those which cost nothing) are crowded The authontiea groan at the thought of the "tuppences" lost to St. Paul's, but Punch has had it his own way this time.

Many of the nobility, imitating the generous example ot Hermans and have thrown open their galleries to the public. The halls ol Northumberland House are as crowded the aisles ot the Crystal Palace. It is pleasant to see, in such crowds as daily con? gregate in all these as well is in the streets, peaks, theaters, such an inflexible spirit ei good humor. I have yet to hear the first rude or impatient word. The Policemen, of course, are everywhere, not as disturbers, but as peacemakers, and are rightly respected ty all classes.

In point oi manly appearance, COVrteej of manner and intelligence (in all that concerns their business.) they are tlie finest body of men in the world. The Cryatal Palact (to see winch is worth a visit from the uttermost ends of the earth) still draws its filty and sixty thousands a dav. and would continue to do so for much longer than the taroareeka which are left. In spite ot thv nlories of sculpture ami the mechanic arts in the nave, the lustrous silks and superb porcelains in the gaUeriee, the tables oi malachite, urns of porphyry and bron'orcd robes of gold and pearl, I found my eyes constantly wandering away to I the contemplation of the Palace itself. The vast nave, springing from sueli slender pillars, and held together by a clasping network ol iron threads, opens so far before you, that its termi? nation is blue and hazy in the distance.

The transept, arching high above the old elms, to bo a second heaven under heaven," for the sunshines warmly through it, and the changes of the sky color its roof with varying blue and while. The beautiful symmetry ot thiaimmenec structoie, is l.v Iis harmony ol colors and blue and white ot the pillars and gliders lelieving the heavy red of the draperies, ami the whole touched with illuminations of gold and mere brilliant tints, Irorn the costly ar? ticles exhibited. Surely Aladdin, and not Joeeph Paxton, was thebailderofthiapalace. Aladdin's story the prophecy of this For the genii wrought underground lor the material, and the spirits of Light and Air assisted in raising it. And was it not created (in the architect's brain) in a single night And aie not the Royal Com? missioners going to rub the lamp, so that it shall instantly disappear, and no man know where it stood 1 find the American Department better filled and much more creditable to us than I had anti? cipated, but everybody tells ate it Las vastly un? proved within the last month.

In fact, it is now acknowledged that the Americans have sur? passed all othei nations in the utility and import? ance ol their contributions. McCorniiek's steep? er is so crowdi that you can scarce get a glimpse ol the machine, and 1 have heard silver? smiths apeak with delight ol the workmanship of goid plate. This, and the Greek Have, and the Daguerreotypes, and the India Rubber, and the Carriages, arc always sur? round, by speetators. People have not yet eased miking oi ihe yacht itisrsca, and vou see picttues ot her everywhere The Knglish ac? knowledge these triumphs with a good grace, and will undoubtedly profit by them The Times honestly admits hhat the Reaper is to England the most important of all the contributions made to the Kxhibition. uh this turn ot tilings, there is a little danger ol our becoming vain-glorious.

The bas rehe.s. and the obelisk ol black marble, are those described in Layard's work, but exhibits more akili in their execution than the engravings indicate.

They are much superior to the mains of cotcmporary Egyptian art. The ac? cident oi their sepulture through so many cen? turies has preserved them, in many instancee, as fresh as when fixet chiselled. The Jong table's of cuneiform rharaoW? are sharply and clearly cut, aad even the lino ruled the engraver for etiidance. are Mil! perceptible The sys- I adopted in formmr an alphabet of the character, ii eery and beautiful.

I perceive in a Tntmns, just received, that you bats reversed the order oi my propoeed trip in the East. I leave to-morrow for Egypt and the Fpper Nile, and probably "Hi not reach until April or May next.

The coming season is every respect the most favo? rable for Egypt aad Nubia, and Winter? Sviia are too cold and wet to travel there arith comfort. There is still a laree number of Americans in London, though the greater part of tho-e who were here during ti Summer have either re- 1 turned rkune or zone on the Continent. I no? ticed that at halt the names on the visitors' books at Kenilworth am! S'ratford were Ameri? can, and was glad to see the mos' oi them also registered in the book of contrihutions toward paying for the Shakspere Cottage. There haa been such a large representation here that the shop-keeping, cab-dnving and beggins popula? tion have come to recognize us quite lktallibly. I It is in vain to try to pass yourself off as an Englishman.

On entering shop, the first salu? tation is Well, ymtr country is beating all of us, at the Exhibition or, here is something which al! buy to take home," and of course you cannot disgrace your country by re? fusing to buy also Cabmen always stick a few pence extrs on the fare for you, and if you give the conductor ot an omnibus sixpence when the tare fourpence. he touches his hat, with a "thank you. sir." which quite cuts you off from asking lor the twopence change. On the Conti mnt, I am told, things have come to the same pass, with the additional peculiarity tha: Ameri? cans are known by tin stawng only one day in each place. The literarv world of London is almost depop dated at present.

I was fortunate enough to meet Robert and Elizabeth Barrett BrOWBBsf, two of England's noblest poets, before their de? parture for Hans, whither they have gone to spend the Winter. William and Mary Howitf have mat lett for the country. Their daughter, Anna Mary Howitt, who has been studying at under the painter Kaulbaeh. is now with them, on account of her health, which had be? come impaired by a too enthusiastic devotion to her art. Carlyle left on Wednesday, on a visit to Lord Ashburton.

Tennyson is now in Florence, where he will remain year or more. His brother who married an Italian lady, has been a resident of that city for so i time. I have lieen glad to find again, six years since I saw hnn Switzerland, (iermam's most persecuted poet, Ferdinand Freiligrath.

His family has recently joined him, and he has decided to remain here, instead ol going to AmeriCH, (te wan hin first intention In ol all the trials through which he has gone, be ia still cheerful and hopeful, and seems hap? pier than when I first saw him in exilp. Lady Fit incline Stuart Wortley, the pane? gyrist of America, and one of the most courage OU8 travelers I ever met, is now here, and is about publishing a poem on the Croat Exhibi? tion. At Birmingham, I met with my friend Bu? chanan Read, several ot whose pictures have been purchased by Mr. Joseph Pickering, ol that place. Mr.

Read is now or. his way to America. Mr Creenough, the sculptor, is here, alao on his ay home. There is a complete lull in political excite? ment The Cuban invasion, Australian gold and the probabilities of a revolution in Europe next Summer, are the principal topics of talk The first is indignantly denounced, the second satis? factory discussed, and the third unanimously anticipated i t. The nnd I as a Motue Power.

a recent sitting of the Paris Academy of Sciences, a eominunici'tion was read by Mr. Aristide Duniont on this interesting subject. This gentle man, who conceited last year the only method of bringing closer the inhabitants of Pans without ainothering them-that is to say, an electric tele? graph radiating over the citv-has endeavored to find out the actual cost of Eleetro-Magnetic power. The result he arrived at ia, that one-horse pow er during one hour, produced by a steam engine, aosts two cents, and by an eleetro-magnctte machine $4. Notwithstanding this enormous difference in Mr.

D. advocates tlie use of electncity when the power required ra small and is to be at irregu ar intervals I The apparatus he experimented, upon wa- of a very small size, giving about the hundredth part of one horse-power. To that cause must, in all proba bility, be attributed the great cost indicated. JacOtt, in ItSa, with his boat on the Neva, carrying li per sons at the velocity of three miles per hour David son, lM'i, running six tuns at four miles an hour on the Edinburgh and Oaaosaray railroad, and Mr Page in his interesting experiments at Washington, iva had results much more favorable.

The mam jsjint of the invention appears to be that the principal element consumed to produce elevtnetty, is sea-water.

We are permitted to describe recent discovery, which the inventors hope to render more perfect, and which is just the I Sirs of the above.

It consists in reducing the friction of the cars on the rails to a mere nothing, by an ele? tri. battery, so arranged as to raise and very nearly tVttft nd thetn in ihs perfect suspension being only prevented by the ne? cessity of a slight pressure to maintain the cars on the track The inventors design first to apply their pn i lo the lusspsilllioil of passengers, and they expect to travel at the rate of eighty miles an hour, with less and greater safety than is now done at S.1? miles Their laiix ire in the fjrm. au 1 not weighing mure than seven to the foot, are supported by wooden pillars, lixe lamp-p at an elevation of feet above tue ground, and feet apait.

The effect is understrsod as ihe wires are united to a pile to form ai ireuit.the magnets ex? ercise a powerful attraction on the rail, but this being immovable, the magnet itself the attrac? tion, and the car attached follow ing, the sliirht pres. sure which it still exenises on its wheels foal eqnal to its eight, minus the attractive power of the magnets.

It may be observed, that electricity in this arrangement will not cost much. It is not as motive power, but as itte pressure it Joes not, consequently, be. me exhausted, and maybe continued without much expense. This invention is verv in principle We cannot vet judge whether it has been lUBVientlv elaUvrated to be pr i I The first mvi ntion, above alluded to, to press locomotives against rails, not worth much, in our opinion, to apply to common locomotives, which may, without difficulty, be made weighty enough for any labor required of them but in con? nection with the second invention, it is invaluable, a- allows the BSS of at leint BI BfjH OS Ihs CSTS thsmselvss, and this is of great import? ance when the -trn. lure BOt Mand upon ground.

Colored import? ant discovery appears to have been made simulta? neously in Amen, a by Mr. Hill, and in France by Mr. Niepce. have been exhibited here and there, but no clear explanation of the process has been made known in either country. POUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
