If an author nay find satisfaction, at the end of bis literary if, at detecting in hia worka no word that ia not written in the eanae of troth and parity, rarely a pabliaher mar find equal prtde in the uniformly Ugh character of the book, be haa brought out lake away from American "literature the aatbora whom Treason As Field have been the eols medium of introducing' to the world, and or literature at ahornof a part of its fairest and Bobiet proportion. We need not enumeratav the hat of "Lgr whose-worka Ti cairo a Field, have siren na but taking in view their coos taut and prolific issue, of hooka and their admirable magazines, which hare exerted, and etOl exert, so wide-epreed and patent an influence, it may be eatery said that not only authors, artiste, engravers, and the publishing trade In general, but the American public aa a whole owe a profound debt of grati tude to thia bouse We will say nothing here, again, of the aerrice done by the same publish er, for oar national literature iairope, where, aa whole, the products of no publishers hare added so much lustra to American lettera aa 'those of Ticajwrn Fixum. No house, certainly, has ao impressed British autbora with the honor and generosity of American publishers, in the matter of copyright, aa thia. In fine, not lens praiseworthy than the uniformly high character and Talue of the worka they hare published, haa been the uniform excellence of their mechanical details.

They hare produced thou sand, of creditable specimen, of book-making. In typography, in taste, and in crier, in all that Kosa to make up a handsome and workmanlike took. While, bore and there, publishers bare been betrayed into issuing, now and then, wretchedly-made hooka, such aa, for their reputation', sake, they would Kladly afterward suppress, TKEXon Fields, from the Diamond Dickon, or the Bin. and Gold Lowell up to the magnificent Longfellow'. Dante, giro to the pub-bo nothing of which eithor they or it need be aehaanod.

First among the holiday book, announced by TicxMon A Fiaxbs we must rank their magnifi cent gift edition of Loaorrxtow's translation of Dinle, which la, we think, tha; moat superb pioo. of book workmanship, ever produced in thia country. Nothing could be more elegant, ana at the earn. Una substantial. 1US page is henry and beautifully tinted, the margiua wide.

and the type large and clear. It is a delight or Sly to look at such a book and turn the leave and when oonsider the boauty of the translation, and the Tatae and interest of the note, we auoll be at a loss to una a more per fect book, search we ever so widely among the well-stocked bookstores of New-York. The com panion book to this, Prof, Nob row's fine transla tion of lite New Life, ia worthy to be namod with it for all tha qualities that eonatitute a handsome book. Th two works should always atsnd aide by side on the library shelves. The illustrated edition of Whitthcb's Snow-Jtowifi ia also a work that reflect, great honor npon the art of book-making in America.

The illustrations are from original designs by Hakbx Fx.ns, a young artist who haa already attained high rank a an Illustrator of books. The draw ings for Snow-Bound were made from actual studies in that part of New-England where the scene of the poem ia laid and their fidelity to New-England Winter-life ia vouched for by the poet, and by every one who haa had the pleasure (or the misfortune) to be anowed up in that bleak and rigorous climate. Apart, however, from the question of fidelity to this phase of New- England life, the iHnstratioDS are worthy of the very highest praiee from an artistic point of view and tbey have been engraved on wood by Messrs. Axthoxt A Lnrroa in a style which must be prononneed equal to the beat English WW 111 IUV aUMA, U1U1UW UW UtiUI VI aupeiioritT ia wood-engraving haa be longed to but this edition of Snow-Bound shows that we have now reached a point of culture and finish in thia beautiful art from which, w. can challenge cotn-naruma with the beet work that En-rhah artist.

He is still a young man, and considering what he has already accomplished, and the seal with which pursues th. practice of his art, we have reason to expect great, things from him in the future.

The volume, which is an elegant quarto, ia printed and bound in very handsome style. Another very elegsnt, tnouh not a new book, is FoQc Song, selected and edited by J. W. Paurxn, with upward, of one hundred original illustrations, exquisite in design and execution, and fao-aimile. of original autograph copies of eighteen famous poems.

The volume is printed on fine tinted paper, at (he Brverside press, and is superbly bound. W. need only call attention to a work so widely known and so highly prized for the taste displayed in the selections, the beauty of the illustrations and its general ele gance. Cltriatian Lyrics, a very beautiful book, made up of choice selections from modern poets, and illustrated with over a hundred fine cngrav ings.

Tho selections comprise some of the beet poems of Gkobok Hekbebt, Oilks Fletchzx, Sir Waitk. Itatxioa, Faanois Qu axles, Cowran, Sir Wairen Soorr, beside, other, of less note. Of prose, there are selections from Jbsemt Tatxob, Bishop Hill, BrcHaan Baxtkb, Milton, Bishop Butler, and other great men whose name, are eminent in tne world of literature, Worthy to be named with these is the Story Without an Ettd, a charming book for children, with beautiful illustration, in colors. We bar.

rarely seen in book, finer specimens of this art. Of imported books Scbxbkeb A Co. have the largest and rarest collection in New-York. Among the finest are the works illubtrated by Ocstatb Doni.

The holiday publications of Messrs. Putnam A Sox, though not numerous, are very choice, There is, first, the quaint Legende ctf St. Gwen doline, with eight illustrations in photograph from designs by Ehhikoeb a handsame impe rial volume, elegantly printed and bound. As specimen of the art of photography applied to the illustration of books, this work has an interest apart from its literary and purely artistic merits. A suporb edition of Dr.

Pabsohs scholarly translation of Da5TEs Inferno, with photographic illustrations from the designs of Ocstatb Dobz, is also pub lished by Messrs. Putnam A Sow. It forms Tory important addition to the Dantb literature of the time. They likewise publish a gift eH tion of Tuckebman's Interesting worli on Ariitf Life in America. The psge is larger and heavier than in the other edition of this work, and the volume ia embellished with photographic like nesses by Roc wood A Savobt, of Huntington Chtbch, GurroBD, Elliott, Habt and other artists of celebrity.

Another elegant book by the PtrrHAMS is The Landscape Boole, contain ing Urge number of finely executed steel en gravings of American landscape, after draw ings by American artists, accompanied with es says, sketches and poems by Coopeb, Ibvtno, Batabo Tatlob, Bbtant and other American authors. We hardly need remind our readers that Messrs. Pctnajc A Sox are publishing a new and splendid edition of the works1 of Wasuino- tok Isnna. THE APPLXT058. generation, at least of New-Yorkers have known the Attlstoss as booksellers, publishers and stationers, and during their nearly forty year, of experience they have brought ont not a few good and popular editions of old books.

Their American Cgdopatdia, their Annual Cyclopaedia, the magnificent Tribute Book, Tke.Hovne-hoii Book of Poetry, (of which, by the way, a new and beautifully illustrated edition is just issued,) BoTXTOs'a Bhttory of the Navy and Ba- BXAtfs JAfe of.frant, are among their best- known publications, while their school-books. juvenile books, editions of Shajespeabx, Soott, Dicxns, Macaclat, Jasosox and other standard authors, have had large sale. But, on the approach of the holiday season, the store of the Messrs. Attlztox becomes specially attrac tive. Their collection of English and French gift books, finely illustrated works, and choic.

edition, of standard literature, is nnsurpsssed. Foremost among these is Makoix 's folio volume Let Jardint, a magnificent Paris book, profusely illustrated with engravings. A flue Florence (1818) edition of Daxte in the Italian, in four folio volumes, with 123 full-page plates, ana with tne text in large, dear type, is also very noteworthy. Among Jtueir brilliantly Claetrated gift-book, are the Chris tian Symbohtm and the Goden Calendar, both of which contain admirable work in chronio- lithography and wood-engraving. The Golden Thovght is full of excellent illustrations, the engraving being the work of the Brothers Dal- nxu Th.

Life of Man Sgmholued is another notable specimen of th. illuminated books which are specially adapted to Christmas gifts. A new edition of Bishop Coxx a Ca-Uttan Bat- lad, with fourteen full-page engravings and about sixty bead-and-tail pieces by Hows, is a favorite religion, souvenir and of the came sort is the superb New Testament, published by th.

The idylls are published separate ly in cloth or bound together in morocco. Bobt. Btcraxax'b new book of poems North CoaM, is another wrj praiseworthy publication. It contains about sixty admirable engravings Jby.

the brothers Dalztel. Of the poems we need not particularly speak, although the Celtic Mys tics are worthy of praise the illustra tions sre exceedingly effective and pleasing. 77-e Ballad Storie of the Affectum, by the same author, and mainly the. same artists ana engravers, is a smaller book in the same style, with twenty-eight illustrations. The Tovchet of Nature, with ninety-eight admirawe drawings by Hohnan, Hunt, Wolf, lenniei, Du Maurier and others, is another rery no ticeable boot One of the most beautiful editions of Bcbms, a gem of typography, and con taining over a hundred engravings from drawings by Habbisox Wiia, Bxnxzr Form, and others, is to be bad at Bootlkdob's.

Our rour- fooled Friends, by Mabt Howrrr, iDuatratea oy Habblsox Wetb, is one of the most elegant eni- -dren. books of the season. We must note, too, a book called Original Poem, by Jaxb Tatlob, (daughter of Isaac Tatlob,) not much known in America, but who win be known immediately when we explain that she is the authoress of those famous and favorite Who ran to neip me when I fenr verses, which have been so much narodied. and which are usually printed in jn- renfle reading-books as "anonymous." This book contains 114 small illustrations. We need not notice the excellent juvenile works, the new Mlihnn nf Fboissabt.

with the illuminated plates, the new book on the Microscope, and the ChriMtmat Annual with which Boctledob's name has already been associated. bubo a BOUOHTOK Still another tdtt handsome specimen of the application of photography to the illustration of books is furnished by a bttle Tolume puDUsnea by Messrs.Hunn A HonoHTOx.snd already noticed in the columns of the Ttxks, entitled The Three Jfohj Kinqt. It is a brief historical essay of the well-known legend of the three kings or magi who visited the cradle of the infant Jesus, and whose names were subsequently connected with many fables and myths, and whose bones are now reposing (according to Catholic authority) in th. Cathedral of Cologne. The illustrations comprise a photographic copy of a bas-relief representing the journey of the Holy Kings to find the star-proclaimed infant, and photograph, from various pictures referring to the same personages.

Hcbd A Houohtok also publish a wisely-made abridgement of Sir Philip Stoxxt. Arcadia, designed for readers in general, who would never have patience to peruse the work in its original form. At this publishing-house msy be found hoe charming specimens of forest literature, Vte rarest Ifymn and Jn the Wood, exquisitely illustrated by Hows the beautiful Biverside edition of Dicxeks works, with illustrations by eminent English artists the Globe edition of the same works, less elegant but neat and handy with many other handsome books suitable for Holiday Gifts. WALTEB LOW. To this publisher New-Yorkers are indebted for the importation of many elegant European works.

Among them we msy name Dork's illustration to Milton's Paradise Lost, to Don (the English edition,) to the Bible, (likewise the EngUtdi edition,) and to the fable of La Fontaine. These editions, though furnished at a much lower price, are very nearly equal to the French, the onfy difference in fact being in the quality of the paper, which in the Enghah editions is less fine and firm than in the French.

M. A Sevel Exhibitions A naansnetbi Catwe oai MaBettam Island. Great excitement has prevailed during the last few days among the hysterical old maids, fidgety old bachelors, hypochondriac and nervous people gen erally who reside in the neighborhood of Broadway and Thirtieth -street, in consequence of the reported discovery of a subterranean cavern an that vicinity. tnto which a luckless Fenian had fallen while exca vating for the foundation of a new building. The select few who were permitted by the owner of the premises to enter the newly found csve came forth from their explorations with the most marvelous tales of tbs wonderful sights they had seen, each one aiding to the stock of rumors afloat, snd Increasing the curiosity or the trepidation of the dweller round about.

All sorts of grave aur raises snd conjectures were put forth and discuses 1 at tea-tab Lee snd dinnerparties aa to tbe age, ortsiin, snd past uaee of the mysterious cavern. Some contended that it wse part and paroel of that ancient civilisation or tbe aorta American Continent shout which ws hear ae much. and a proof of the existence of a great and magnifioent city on Manhattan Island long anterior to CoLuarsua, and. may be, to Hoan.

And finally there were a few who insisted that ths cavern was nothing more than a freak of nature. like the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, or the Sybil's Csve at Boboken.

Counsel for the. churnsnta appear and move that ths appeals be dhv raissed, on the following grounds; First, that they art re net taken within ninety days after the rendition of ths Judgment; second, that there were no MtMssi allowance of appeals by the Court of Chums ta term tUae, or by Us ChiefVustloe tn ve-estion, which is essential within the ninety days al lowed by Uw for th taking pf such sppeel: third, thai there wss no legal for ths allow- saees of appeal within such prescribed tune.

The Court aubee-qaently took a recess, but did not make any final adjournment, the December Tens of IMS eon tinning until tbe commencement ef the regular term of 1M7. And if it had been adjourned it is contended in eup. port of the motion, there would have been an end of tne term, ana tne uown coma no nave neswrnDM until the Brat Monday of December ra the present year.
