If Burns entertained such a supreme disgust for an awkward squad of Scotchmen, that he vould not tolerate: the idea of their partici~pating in the funeral services over his grave, how.much more disgusted must Walker have felt, to be shot by such scarecrows of sol* diers as Central Ameri¢a produces! Such abominable caricatures of military pomp— ragged, dirty, bare-footed, and bare-legged Indians and Negroes, fellows afraid of the flash, of their own vile guns—think of the offscourings of humanity pulling their triggera on “the grey-eyed man of destiny !"— But, menthan Walker have died more igneblypand perhaps he thought of this, at the last, and found consolation in the thought. In 1852 and 1853, Walker was a young ‘. But the lar sadly qactel ts , .

Mr. Girrard was: in earnest-hewould do so. “Tam in earnest,” and Ben sought the best cooper in Spring Garden, became an apprenbarret as the best. He announced to old to set up business. The old man was gratibest barrels he could turn-out. Ben did ‘his prettiest, and wheeled them up to the old man’s counting room.

He, there and then, conceived the grand design of invading and revolutionizing the state of Sbnora. After ~ much patient effort, ‘and after encountering. and overcoming numerous obstacles, he finally sailed from San~-Francisco; with a smalj force of brave but indifferently disciplined adventurers ; but, instead of landing on the}; chore of Sonora, hé disembarked at La Paz, near the southern extremity of Lower Califernia. His operations in Lower California were " 80,generally and so faithfully chronicled in the California newspapers, of 1854,that nearly everybody in the State must be familiar with. them. He was eventually beaten out of Lower California, barely saving his life, and reached San Diego, with the survivors of bis expedition, in an exceedingly pitiable plight.

But, if people fancied that he had exchang_ ed the sword for the goosequill and the camp for the printing office, they were mistaken; tor it was not lung until, under some sort 0° bargain with one of the political parties in Nicaragua, he was off, with another small body of adventurers, to extend the “area of ireedom” in that benighted region. Everybody kuows how miserably that movement terminated. In the desperate hope of becoming Mjustrious in Central Ameriga, he headed two subsequent expeditions to the soune of his turmer exploits. Que of them was irustrated by a distinguished American nuyal officer, ~ Who received but poor thanks from the government for what he did; and the last ius, terminated, as “we are led to believe, by his death at the hands of the vagrant soldiers of ‘Honduras. As the matter stands, it is very probable, had not John Bull taken a share in the perfurmance, that Walker would have conquered Honduras and triumphantly resumed the Chief Magistracy of Nicaragua ; but. that British ship of war, the learius, finished the business; and though. Hondurian muskets mcy have the immediate honor.of sending ‘him to his grave, his blood will really lie.at the door of ‘the British nation.
