La acknowledge a power higher than kiniy, and abdicate tb throne. The spectacle cannot fail to interest a g-neroua mind, and to engage for the royal competitor tha foil mood of fsiiiMais which ws met to common men. If a dob arch proves bunaelf master here, be rcnalrj I Unz indeed, 1 ti dominion will ow bttU to arsenals or armies. If ha fails, It ia lua last appeal and the Waterloo of hi career. Tbo philanthropist cannot observe without Joy tbat tbaa tbo world advances.

This super-kingly power, popular opinion, to which now even emperors moat bead, was ala-aya influential, and even in despotic times and countries waa so much reepectod tbat it bad to be manacled and trodden oat. Honarcha watcbed it with dread, and clappod fetters upon the sprawling infancy of the thins, while at fdt instinctively, hither and thither, aad before ft could get strength. For it has various names as popular opinion, bam an rights, political equality, democracy but by them all meana to express one great, bottom truth, the divine right of liberty or republicanism, oppoaition to all Alexandrian, Osarisn or Napoleonie idcaa. This troth tends to overwhelm all manner ef sophistries, however enforced and include the right of self-government, though never so much of mlgovornmcnl, ant implies faith In the people, bocaase God. It takes its stand on the deepest principles, and goes back to the essential flt- ncss of things discarding at the first the Machiavellian notion of a perpetual tutelage of the people according to the vocation of legitimate rulers.

Popular opinion was respected, we said, always but now its detrieiona cannot be evaded. Whatever bold legitimacy can keep, mast be kept under its sanction. The question in, therefore, how to conciliate it, or if, in its singleness of sight it cannot be conciliated, to divide it into parties, of which the lesser "made the stronger by intelligence and wealth, but seduced by the bait of power and at say be allied with the kings to rale tho rest. So the flack, though tl shearers be rather too many for comfort, may atilTbe sheared, and the spoils be worth something. Wbon we look over Kirouox's Life of Ltrsar, we see no particular reason why, for the sake of history, the book should have been written.

It contain nothing new of great valuo no historical fact of importance, rescued by study from threatened oblivion -no remarkably lucid collocation of lac's, which, though known to scholars, or accessible to tbexu, needed arrangement for popular use. At the same time it ia each a book as a studious or opinionated gentloman bad a right to make, and to ask for it the indulgence of the world. As as indication of the elegant scholarship of tho author, and a monument of the studies of his life, or even as a statement of his opinions upon the art of governing, and the divine right of "peoples' to obey, it is welcome enough, and may seek Us niche. On this ground alone, it will be read and criticized, and, we suppose, without doubt, be presently shelved in curious libraries, with the Elkon JUisilike. Reviewers have occupied themselves, not wisely, in criticising the minor conclusions of the author of this history, on such questions as whether Cesa crossed into Britain from Boulogne or YTiuaant, or whether the meeting of Cass, Poxrxx and CaAbsca at Lucca was a political conspiracy or a friendly caucus.

Such matters are open to opinion, and that of Nafo-Llo is worth more or less than that of another student as he more or less carefully considers' the subject. As to the particular location of the Portias I tins, for example, the decision rests mainly upon the understanding of a confessedly obscure paasage in Strabo, upon which Mr. Na-volboh has an indefeasible right of opinion against Mr. Quest. This right of opinion he exercise, and certainly gives strong reasons for hie conclusion.

It is complained, too, that he writes aa if ha was not aware of the labors of Niibumb and Sir Geokoe Lxwis. Such objections axe frivolous. These gentlemen are hia virtual co temporaries. He does not write aa if ignorant of Tacxnrs, Lrvr, Plutabch, Polybitb, Paciakias and DiODoaua. Nor do criticisms of the style ef the English translation, however well merited, do mere thin surface.

Among the superficialities of the work, these criticisms fairly aland. The translation ia somewhat unfortunate. The style is often inflated. in its La-tinity, as for example "The genius of Gksau was not jet revealed, and the vanquisher of See-to miocs was the only one who dominated the sit uation, by hia antecedents and high achievements.1 (VoL 1, p. SIS.) Such a word as rival (vol.

1, p. 46) ia used, or identical, (voLl, p. 61,) or such a misuse, aa the "commandment is given him by unanimous consent (vol. p. 274) occurs.

England, too, creeps into the copy for Britain (voL 2, p. 118.) an oversight which a Saturday reviewer has not failed to pounce upon. But anotherattempt by the aame critic ia so unsuccessful, and redounds so much to the credit of the imperial writer, that it ia worth notice. In a note on page 17a, volume 11, Kapoleox refers to an ancient chronicler, named and quotes from his book. The reviewer asks, sneer-bgty, whom this ancient writer may be.

Rev. W. DAatxi. waa a chaplain to Queen EuxaBETH, and wrote a History qf Dover Caste, the Latin manuscript of which waa, certainly aa late as 1760, in the Library of the Col-legs of Arms. A translation by At.it, Cavpbxix waa published in 1786, in London, by Hoofs, High Holborn.

It is an interesting evidence of the care which Napoixom gave to his work that be or his agents found out this somewhat rare book, and probably the manuscript copy, as his paragraph from it ia evidently taken from the original and not from the easier medium of the translation. This ia evinced by the only error in the quotation Wilbred being put for With-red, an evident error of the manuscript copyist. The oversights and error above noticed, bow-ever, though they impair the literary completeness of the work, are unessential, after all, and the fact that a hypercritical review discovers so few, is no common praise. Few writers, let ua honestly coulees, could have passed the searching ordeal which a princely author, and a Frenchman at that, must undergo in the nineteenth century, so well. The work indicates careful atudy, and must be praised for its clearness and industry.

There are passages which show that the writer has absorbed the authorities, and which develop that descriptive force which only cornea from a clear and full digestion. Among others, we might cite the account of the subjection of the Nervil, toL iL, pp. 113-128, one of Ckabb greatest conquests, and which is worthily told by hia present biographer. We are reminded, aa we read, of the unfailing tact of SaKxsrsau, who thus amber history in hia muse j.You an do anew this mantle I remember Tba nrt tune aver Csut pot It Twae oa. a Wammr'a evaeuag, ta bis teal.

That day be overcame the siervu." rjeraonal iKes upon Cixin in the first volume, Book while they are also ia the best eijie of the writer, remind us again of the world-poet. Ilia charmcterixation ta the tragedy, of the haughty, dressy, resourceful, ye affable and generous, and bos nnkindly patrician, who anticipated modern tactics ia hia generalship, and left the greatest inatanoe extant of the taint of personal ambition upon deeds which but for that might have been eternal benedictions, could have served' Xapoudov aa well as the ancient writers front whom he drew the traits of his subject. The moat tei but Lti rA? error cf the vofesia rangemeos. The first volume was, in a large degree introductory, nearly two-thirds being do-voted to the geography and earlier history of Borne. The career of Cjcaaa tip to the year of Borne G95, when be was about 41 years oil, conclude that volume, and the present opens with the Gallic war.

Two-thirds of the second volume are occupied by a free translation and expansion of Cksab's Oomtnentaries, and the remainder by a relation of events at Borne during the period covered by the with recapitulation, which seems onneceewary. It serve, indeed, to give dramatic effect, and to fix toe) arnchroQal amazement more ckaity bat the aesno okjecte nnijrht have been gamed by interspersing; the Brents at Borne and the trarmlatioos, and a saving of a hundred pages effected. This would have enabled the publishes to make tbe edition uniform in the elegant atyie of tbe first volume, instead of using the thin paper which crowds the 659 pages of the second volume into tbe compass of tbe 462 pagos of the first. The scuolarahip of the History of uliut Guar, aa already intimated, is more than respectable. It withstands criticism, generally, and is, on the whole, the beet part of the work.

The author, indeed, shows not a little comprehensive and philosophic capacity, and if be were not an Emperor, and the imperial slave of an idea," there is no knowing what bo might not have acocrmplishod. One eeea, with pleasure, that while he has a scholar's accurate aim at dates and places, which he establishes generally in notes, be ia far from thinking, "with that fliese constitute history. He embalms, or rathor petrifies, in certain convenient places, great philosophic and bastorio truths, as when he remarks: In civil commotions each olass of society 'divines, as by instinct, the cause which roepoods to its aspirations, and foels itself attracted to it by a secret affinity. Men born in the superior classes, or brought to their level by honors and riches, are always drawn toward the aristocracy, whilo men kept by fortuno'in the inferior ranks remain the firm supports of tho popular cause (voL 2, p. 563 or as when ho approve, as a truth, the stamp of grandeur and patriotism, the rallying cry of the great Yebcixobtosxx If Gaul has the sense to bo united and become one nation, it may defy tbe universe (voL 2, p.

617 or asy when speaking of tho social condition of Borne in O-esab's youth, he says 1 ho Bomans had undergone an influence which may be compared with that which was exercised over tbe French of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries by Italy, thon, it is true, superior in intelligence, but perverted in and adds: "It might be said tbat there existed then at Borne an aristocracy without nobility and a democracy without people." (ToL 1, pp. 226, 23L.) More pregnant still, and with a warning in them, one would think, against bis own practises, are the following words of the author When In the midut of general prosperity dangerous Utopias spring up, without root in the country, the slightest employment of force extinguishes them; but on the contrary, when society deeply tormented by real and imperious needs, requires reform, the success of the most violent repression is but momentaneous, the ideas repressed appear again incessantly, and like the fabled hydra, for one head struclc off a hundred others grow vp in Us place." (YoL 1, p. 246.) A fine burst of generous feeling, helped possibly by the remoteness of French interests, concludes the description of thoaancient glory of the Mediterranean nations The remembrance of such greatness inspires a very natural wish, namely, that henceforth the jealousy of the great Powesa may no longer prevent the East from shaking off the dnst of twenty centuries, and from being born again to life and civilization." VoL 1, p. 154.) If the conquest and occupancy of Algiers occur to the reader of this paragraph, he has only to remember that the theory of Napoleox is, that nations need an energetic midwife to hasten their birth, and a severe schoolmaster afterward, and always offices which ho and his family, by a sort of apostolic succession from Cxsab, and the other scourges ot humanity, stand divinely commissioned to falfllL There is nothing to compare with an axiom of established truth, or an expression of generous feeling, virtuously set forth, and used, not as a rallying point, but as a point of divarication. One may awing, quite ainoerely, on oceans of vagaries and falsities, around this point, and it .1 1 ..4 a uiua uwi we ueceivo outers ana are sou-oe-oerved.

As in the Hebrew tongue the aamo root of imprecation may mean either to bless or curse, so from- the same axioms a akQlful writer may argue despotism or republican Lam. It is not so long ago that men have forgotten how under forms of popular suffrage an Emperor was elected at the bayonet point, and the sharp cut of a coup d'etat solved the tnoonveniont remainder. Something has to be forgotten, or swallowed, or smoothed over, and then, under the soothing, concealing cloak of time, all is olaimed to be voluntary, popular and fair, and appeal is made to present prosperity and national pride for proof. We need not go to France either for such instances. Tbe great rebellion, which, in the interest of tyranny, strove but yesterday to stay and overthrow all good government, human liberty and advancement, was false and hypocritical, how well we know, aa hell itself.

This infernal conspiracy, not against the United States merely, but against human interests everywhere, was, by the grace of God, overthrown. But at the very time when, as of old, the stars in their courses fought against Siaera," so now, Heaven ran to help men below, in the struggle which must determine between Truth and Liberty, and Falsehood and Tyranny at this very time, the chief exponent or 'despotism in the Old World appears to stay the fafing cause with his treatise. LoCis KaroutoK backs up by his pen, in Europe, and is ready to muster his armies to sustain the false principle, which the thunders of Heaven have contradicted in America. If this is true, it ia frivolous to assail the book before us, with verbal and Literary criticisms, even if vulnerable in those respects. What it means and intends is what concerns us.

It is not to be despised, for it has a. powerful constituency. Even in free America we can scarcely, unclutch the claws of our 'self-imposed office-holders. They grow fat and strong upon the pabulum we give them, and come nigh to overpower us, their clients. It ia greatly worse where Bepublican feeling ia repressed, and free institutions mocked with a semblance of suffrage, and the people, uneducated to self-government and cooperation, see the failure of their pretended Legislatures to ameliorate their condition, with wonder and discouragement.

AD the kings and oppressors of the earth are marshalling under the banner now unrolled. Their hired mercenaries are arrayed their aristocracies are with them they can buy many votes among the people they can deceive not a few. They can keep even the Ganballis quiet by activities. Tbe Koesuths and Vlaa-ainia run away suartyr dam for truth being reserved for higher eoula, and perhaps for coming days. Only bore, ia Amerioa, is the truth affirmed, aad are tbe peril is by no means past.

Whatever genius Narorxcoi might have bad for history, in his individual eapacity, as lost in the apologist for imperiahsm. He aeizes upon the materials which a remote period of history affords him, and which sei 111, among all that offer, best suited to bis end, for the avowed piipjee of proving caste, and vindicating the divine right of rulers a right, be it observed, not founded necessarily upon legitimacy, but upon ability. Of course, the only proof is success; otheraiseS ua would have ecu as great as CV.ta. Wt etibt indeed, pause to ask what StK-naat LnVteoce is apparent between the two, tiivpt tho dura 04 of their 'rflarau an 1 u.ea to iuire ho fur reformatory measures of the first may. have prepared the way for the more distinctly successful career of tbe second.

But both inquiries are make needless as to the result by the fact that even Cjbab only postponed the inevitable demoralization and decay whiota there was no power in his system to core. We must look deeper than this quackery of imperialism for the nufTsration winch is to ennoble tho human race. Narotxoa'a object, then, is not to present the truth of hiutory. He goes to history, like a religionist to tbe Bible, to prove his theory. With an unscrupulous sincerity, and the skill and zpi! of fiaariciim, be bends ercrythssg to bis purpoaq.

It is especially in bis way to find paraQcla between Cauia and NaroLxos. He avows hia conviction of a hkoDoss between the two, in mission, purpose, and personal character, tor whieb likeuens be would willingly win a superstitious reverence. Because Njlpolxos would have invaded England from Boulogne, Gatsan most have chosen tbe same point of debarkation for Britain because Cksab built flat-boats, or scows, to carry bis legions and munitions high up 00 the shallow shores, Naroixos certainly djd the same thing. Ho experienced, indeed, in consequence, tho same inconveniences which beset the Roman Gen oral, which shows that in imitating great men it ia expedient to avoid their errors. It may argue a culpable indifference to the blesaings of an enforced civilization, but we pity the man who can read the superb account given in the volume before us (pp.

272-357) of tbe repression of tha Gallic revolt, under the noble YescniarTOBix, with any other feelings than those of admiration for the bravery, sympathy for the cause, and Borrow for the extinction of the courageous and independent race, whom he led in tnid (virtually) final and unsuccessful struggle for liberty. As single acts at critical times; determine character, Gxsab, too, must stand condemned by bis murder of Yebcwoe-torix. This wonderful man, not less great than his conqueror, distwguhihed by a courage, skill and patriotism, which are nowhere exceeded in history, was meanly butchered by at the end of hia career, and upon his voluntary surrender. No explanation can gloss the atrocity, or relieve the character of Csar from the stain of a cruel pusillanimity. He feared the man.

Unhappily for the parallel which the author is ever so anxious to sustain, the act is not without a mnemonic in Utter As to thU eventful war, which taxed the skill and resources of GxsaB, beyond, any other in which he waa engaged, Locu Napoleon' sums up the case as follows Thus, while wa honor duly the memory of Vsa-ciNGETomx. we are not allowed to deplore his ue-fraL Let ua admire tba ardent and sincere love of this Gaulish Chieftain for the independence of his country but let ua not torget tbat It la to Uia tri-ump" of the Boman armies that we owe our civilization; institutions, manners, language, all come us from the cunqueaf- If bus am we much more tha children of the conquerors than of tbe conquered tor, during Iour years, the former bsve been our masters for everything which raises the soul and embellishes lite; sod when at last the invasion of the barbarians cune to overthrow the old Boman It could not destroy its foundations. Those wild hordes only ravaged the territory, without having the power to annihilate the principles of law, justice and liberty, which, deeply rooted, survived by their own vitality, like those crops which, bent down for a moment beneath the tread of the soldiers, soon rise avain spontaneously, and recover a new hie. On tbe ground thus prepared by Boiujn ciKsllaauon, the Christian idea was able easily tolant ftscif, and to regenerate the world." This well-written and Bpecioua passage, which nothing more than rhetoric, must stand in our limited space for a specimen of the reasonings by which the author defends his "idea. The military figure by which it ia bo prettily turned ia peculiarly appropriate, because it is untrue.

-The crops trodden by the soldiers, never rise again spontaneously, and their desolation furnishes the strongest protest that nature and industry make against war. It ia quite obvious to remark, as to the rest, that those boasted institutions of civilization and religion gained nothing by the devastation of the barbaric northern countries, against which the Boman arms -could have always amply defended their territories. On the other hand, the Subjection of these countries was one of the causos tbat brought upon the Bomans the corruption fatal and necessary following of the ambition of its Gzsaks which left the proud city finally a prey to the very hordes once so cruelly subjugated. The murder of YEBCCfoarosix and the massacre of his people must, therefore, be otherwise excused. Still further, we need only remind the student of history that it is riot to the Boman civilization that the world chiefly owes its subsequent advancement.

It cannot be denied that it is to the Saxon element, mingling influential! with all races, that the present strength and stamina of humanity is due. Tbe Boman element, which KaPOLBox seeks empirically to restore, is that which clings to decay. It is that ewhich employs the superstitions, which represses the freedom, which manacles the conscience of man. It is that which to-day is catching its breath in Europe, and panting in Mexico. It is that which taints even the nations and governments that ought to be boldly on the people's side.

It is that which preserves the balance of power. It is tbat which at once moves Europe' to war, and bolda it back from general conflict. If it goes down, more than Austria fails, for even Prussia and Italy will part with, more than they are prepared to lose. Handle it Carefully, ye potentates, for your ripe rottenness is in it when it bursts your day 'will be over, and occupation, as well aa Mettebsich's, be gone. THE APOSTLS.

By Ekxkkt Rfxax, Membra de L'lnutitut, aic. Translated from lbs original French. Kaw-Yora: CaaLaxos, lsfie. This is the second volume of a aeries of three, wL'ch the author has tbe coolness to call The Origins of Christianity, but which should be more properly styled The Bomance of the History of Christianity, not that thereris not a great deal of history in it, and such as could only be written by a man of spirit and genius, bat the most material part of the history ia scarcely treated with- the candor and sagacity which are worthy a member of tbe Institute of France. The first volume of the series, is, as all our readers know, The Lifo of Jeans.

The third will be The Life and History of St. PauL" The three together constituting the attempt of a writer of great learning, much observation and travel, and of infinite genius and boundless audacity, who is withal, master of a very beautiful diction, to give hia own theory of the origin of the most wonderful movement which the world's history has ever experienced and recorded. With the theory which he has given of the life of Jesus, many of our readers are familiar. It ia a theory which ia in some respects the moot decidedly unique which the world baa ever seen, inasmuch aa it ascribes to a pious youth of moderate abilities, of bumble condition, of devout aspirations and of infinite imagination, the capacity to grow into, an extraordinary enthusiasm in respect to hia own origin and destiny, which bad the power not only completely to possess his own to control the souls of others to such a degree that though bin doctrines were repulsive jtnd bis precepta severe, multitudes) were constrained to believe ia his claims and to become hia flimnptea. The problem assayed in this version of the life of Jesjos waa safficieiiUy severe, and the solution sufficiently improbable.

But tbat prinNjeed in the history of the Apostles is, if possible, still mora trying and complicated. For the author is compelled to explain bow these followers, scattered and depressed by the execution of their master, came to believe that be waa alive again, and to declare that they aaw bint fox several instance, and that they saw him ascend into the sky. He ia forced alao explain how a reuiark-eite event oocumsd ia' the City of Jerjjalju. which brought a great number of bis enemies; together, forced them to hear tbe story concerning hia reported resurrection and ascension, and which was more difficult, forced them to believe it, and to enroll themselves among bis disciples. What complicates: tbe difficulty still mora ia, that a very determined and excited enemy of the new fifth reports that when on a journey he saw Jesus in miraculous appearance, and be also is changed from a bitter enemy to a zealous be liever and disciple.

What adds still more to the difficulties of the author, is the power and extent and rapid progress of tbe movement involving, aa ft doca, multitude of men, moat dircrae ia their previous history, and very unlikely to be excited or overborne by any common emthnwiasm Another feature ia wholly unique, and it makes the problem the hardest that waa ever proposed for solution upon any theory of the purely natural origin of Christianity, and that ia the fact that the movement they aet in motion baa been bo All these difficulties are set aside by one sinele-talisman, amiable enthusiasm. This is applied to every case however peculiar, on evcryvocaaion however unlike any other. When the disciples go one after knot her to the sepul chre and bring back the aame report, when Mary thinks she sees Jesus in the garden, when two disciples walk and talk with Him on an evening journey, and be explains at length tbe hitherto misunderstood passages of the Old Testa ment, when Jesus comes and goea into their assemblies in an unexpected and mysterioua manner, when He makes an appointment with the whole company at a place, and there discoursing at length with them concerning what they were to do and what they wore to expect wbon He was gone, and when in the midst of Hia discoursing He ia Ulted up before the eyes of a very large company who were ready to swear and to die lor tne trutn tnai iney saw it done all ia accounted for by a simple haUncina-tion of the fancy kindled by religuma enthusiasm. When Saul is arrosted near Damascus, and thinks he hears Jesus and sees visions, he was simply strongly moved I by bis own agitated re flections concerning Jesus, while his nervous system is prostrated by kind of sunstroke end- mg in uuauness, wnicauu luterrvu, mvu at kiko of distinct visions, ending with a vision of a man who heals him by a word purporting to come from Jesus himself- Ia' confirmation of thia theory Ben as tells cs very naively, I experienced a cridia of this kind at Byblcsj and with other prin ciples I would certainly have taken the hallucinations thatl experienced there for visions. This ia a fair example of the mode in which the author reasons, if he can be said to reason at alL He is quick to discern likenesses, and fertile to suggest, if we ought not to jsay to create them, but he is wholly inapt to boo! differences in both kind and degree.

The Mormon delusion and Babism in Persia serve important uses in hia mind to illustrate the origin of The capacity of the human soul to be strongly moved by hallucinations, and of communities to Buffer and endure torturo and death for a common belief, is adduced as though they explained every possible case of faith in a supernatural messenger or a supernatural communication. The readiness with which he accepts the results of certain methods of historical and exegetical criticism, and the confidence with which he pronounces their decision, would be amusing if there were not such obvious haste and predetermination in the judgments themselves. Monsieur Bem Ait is doubtless very learned in Semitic literature, but he ia not an authority in New Teatameut criticism, and the readiness with which he accepts the conclusions of other critics without revising them, ia anything but creditable to his critical sagacity. But wliile this work fads to have very high historical value in the most important particulars, it were most unjust to call it only a romance, or to deny it very considerable worth even as history. The geographical pictures are graphic, minute, beautifully doubtless true.

The portraitures of the times are wonderfuUy startling for their freshness, fullness and fidolity. The delineations of individual men attest the author's wonderful power to conceive the past, and his still more remarkable genius in setting forth what he conceives. In ail these respect 1 his genius is decidedly French, but it is none the less genius for that. He follows in the footsteps of both Chateaubriand and La Mabtixe in his passion for oriental scenery and oriental life, but with greater force and felieity than either. Were we to express our opinion of the book in a word, we should compare it to a beautiful and highly-finished frame or border, adapted for a noble and true picture upon one of the noblest subjects conceivable, of which the drawing should be faultless, the coloring exquisite, and the expression divine.

Into this frame, so perfectly wrought, baa been 'thrust an unsatisfactory caricature, disproportionate and incoherent in drawing, bizarre and inconsistent in color, and flat and feeble in expression. The truly critical and devout Studena of the origin of Christianity may insert! in this framework, so skillfully prepared by this gifted author, a worthier portrait of the principal characters and Bcenes, and an this way make it subserve important uses to himself as be reads the histories and epistles of the New Testament.

J. G. Wood, lilustrstsd. Kew-Yora; Babpeb a Bso-TalKBS. i Thia handsome volume has already gained so wide popularity that jit hardly seems necessary to do more than call attention to the appearance of the American edition.

Harper's Monlh'-j has drawn freely upon its unique engravings, whicb have illustrated at least three articles upon natural hiotory in that popular periodical, and the English edition has already had quite a large circulation here, in spite of its high cost. Tha edition of Hakper Bbotkebs is foruiehed at Kttle more han half the price of the English, while it ia but little inferior to it in respect of Certainly no more valuable work upon atural history has been published for years, either here or in England. Mr. Wood has that love for hia subject which springs from thorough familiarity with it, and he writes in an agreeable and entertaining manner, which will be sure to interest and fascinate every reader whether he may be old or young. In a former notice of the work the contents of the volume were briefly summarized.

A single extract wQl be enough to indicate the character! of Mr. Wood's style, aa well aa to show the interesting and varied informa-he has here Under the division building birds" be gives the following account of the 'Bower Bird" of Australia, which constructs a house, or rather a bower, apparently for its own amusement, and then decorates it with all the brilliant fragment it can gather. Mr. Wood writes of this curious bird as he haa seen it at work in the London Zoological Gardens. He says Whether works smartly or not ta tta native land I cannot say, but it eerta'iUy does not hurry itself la tnia country.

The writer dedicates thia little volume, which groups together interesting anecdotes and reminiaeencea of one of tho greatest of modern tragedians, as follows Mother: that name so hallowed and revered. Is but a synonym of sorrow to you, the ever paaant and long suffering, I dedicate these iiagaa In her preface she says A calamity without precedent has fallen on our country. We of all families, secure in domestic love and retiremmt; are stricken desolate. Tbe name wc would have en wreathed with lauruts rs dishonored by a sou his well-beloved hia bright boy Absalom I My task never should have been resumed, but in the heaviest bours of our sorrow so many tongues were free to calumniate us, privately and professionally, that I am urgod to complete my work, in the belief that, wuile this truthful sketch may tend to interest tbe friends of my lamented father, it will serve In all honest minus to confute tbe aspersions of evil men." While we cannot regret an impulse which haa resulted in any addition to what was before known of one who has filled so large a space in the records of the American stage aa did the subject oft hia little volume, the writer of these reminiaeencea -may perhaps again be assured that there is not now nor haa there beon any tendency on the part of the public to hold a family responsible for tho great crime of an individual member. So far as they are ooncored hia infamy ia buried with him.

We are reminded by thia volume that the elder Booth was born in tho parish of SL Pancras, London, in May, 1796. Eia paternal grandmother waa Elizabeth Wilkes, eousin to the orator John Wilkes, and hia father, Richard Booth, was educated for the law. Conceiving an ardent love for republicanism, Kichab emborkod for thia country, while the war of the Revolution waa in progress, determined to fight for American independence, but waa taken prisoner, and conveyed to France, whence, in course of time, he returned to England, where he afterward, intermittently, practiced his profession. Tbe career of the son is sketched by bis daughter from the time he first appeared on the stage in Ens-land to the time of his death on the Mississippi River. Many interesting anecdotes are related, and the reader will only rogret that the account of the career of the great actor ia not luller and more detailed.

The writer tells us, that of her father's family of tentchildren, there are now living five Jcntus, Rosalie, Edwtx, Asia and Joseph. There was one sou, the fruit of a boyidh mesalliance contracted in Brussels, in 1814, who, if alive, la still a resident of London, but tho family have no further knowledge of him. As a frontispiece to the volume, we have an engraving of the subject of it, as Richard the Third, executed in London" in" 1820. A number of copies of old play bills add much to tho interest ol the work. DC PROKOTiDIS.

A Tale of the Social Deposits. By Wuuia Oilbkbt, author of anirlay Hall Asylum." Londsn aad New-York: ALEX. Szaiuas. Mr. Gilbert seems to be a favorite contributor to some of the foreign religious periodicals, but, judging from this work, he has hardly a single characteristic which ia likely to make him popular here.

In the first tNiace, the title of tbe story is commonplace and unattractive. De Profundus" haa been applied to so many and such various productions in prose and verse, from Ds QciifcsT downward, tbat it haa come to' mean nothing at all, and were it not for the supplementary title to the book, very few would imagine that these familiar Latin words covered in thia instance a tale of low life in London.

Before her death she geta him into the Scots FuaiLer Guarda as drummer-boy, but be tires of that, and deserts at the advice of Jemima," a daughter of his protectress, who ia a servant girl. The two are thrown much together, and finally marry, although "Jemima" ia the senior of "James" by several years, and then by the display of a degree of stupidity which would hardly be looked for in any grade of life, they manage very innocently to get into all.

TUB CROPS. Miscellaneous Accounts frost stll Sec- tlons. The Pittsburg (Pa.) Qazetle says "That the Spring had an unfriendly opening must be confessed. Rains were withheld over large stretches of territory. Grasses did not start.

Seeds did not germinate. Late irosts did some mischief. -We have recendy crossod Pennsylvania diagonally from the southwest corner to the northeast and from what we saw add heard we cannot be mistaken in sayina; the hay crop is at least a lull average, and ia being Secured In excellent condition. Winter wheat and rye is good. Potatoes and other roots give token of yielding better than common.

Of fra its. so much cannot be said. In some counties sttswberries. Both VI and cultivated, failed a'-most entirely, and raspberries are not plenty. In the weswa-n counties these fruits were abundant.

In the northeastern counties a worm has destroyed the currants, by rendering them poiaon-ous; in multiplied instances killing the bushes. Peaches are in most of tbe counties a bad fail.fre, aa were cherries. Ot apple pears snd quince there la not half a crop. Grapes, wherever the climate ia congenial, are abundant, and if not struck with mildew, will be of excellent quality. In some vineyards, which we have carefully examined, the vines are fruited up to the utmost limit.

We think nearly all are ao. The prospect of an abundant peach crop in Bjutheru liLnois is reported to be very promising. 'Tho Logansport (led.) Pharos says: "The wheat harvest was late and is about over. crop is oner ally light, but the grain very fine. Some farmers have a fair crop, but the average yield will not equal ol a full crop.

Oats are promising well. Hermann, Gasconade County, noted for its wine, will suaer a ptrtitl failure of the grape crop this year. The Catawba, which is the staple, will not yield more than half a crop. Kext to it tbe Concord ia tiia most extensively cultivated, which. boeer.
