It weU known that the Interest which Mr. Croswell and Mr.

Dickinson hare ahown in each other's ooneems, grow out of no personal respect entertained by either of then for the other, or any diiin-teretted desire to promote each other's welfare. ach knows the other, and of coarse each distrusts the other, bat in the alliance which they hare recently struck, they hare a common interest which will bind them together with the fidelity of thieves while it last. What that interest is, we hare Utore alluded to, but some of our readers ma; not be so familiar with the grounds of sympathy betwoeu these chemeri and their whig allie-, nor their motires in thus prematurely forcing upon the democratie party the issue of Dickinson or whiggery. We desire a word with them on that subject to-day It appears ty the report to the 8tate Senate, made March ISO, that Mr. CroswoU was indebted to the Canal Bank in the nun of of whieh 27,481 was upon endorsed paper, and upon notes ol P.

M. Wetmore for and it. Schell for $7,600 Of the direct indebtedness, (1156,413,) the report ajst 600 00 was made ia 1844. a.74 00 do 184s. T320 14 do 1848 112.TS 00 do 1847.

048 S8 do 1848. 48 The amount taken in 1847 was inrested, it is said, in a mail steamer speculation in which Mr. Wet-more, the Nary Agent, inrested about 1 180,000, embezzled from the gorernment moneys in his hands. The act ef Concress npon which this mail specula-tioa was based, was passed March 3d, 1847 the fourth section of which Is as follows 4 That from and immediately after the passage of ib iui uw aui oi tneBeerexary or the Nary te contract, on the part of the government of th United States, with A. Sloe and others, of Cineiauati, for the u.npufwiiD.

Tbs said mail to be trausported ia at least fits steamshloa of not laaa ih.n lsiin then, and propelled by engines of not leu than 18O0 horse power, i rei'uictf, tne compensation for such service sball not exceed tne sum or SVU.euo per aonam. (See laws, 1847 The law was modified by the aot of 1848, so as to authorize the Secretary of the Kavy to per month, for the construction of the vessel, aot to exoeed (290,000 in all, and to take a lien on the vessels.

Shortly after this, the parties to the contract quar relled, and in the litigation before the U. S. Court, some curious beta were disclosed. Sloo, the complainant, ret forth that he had assigned 'his contract to the defendants, George Law, M. O.

Roberts, Pros per in. eunore, fcdwin Croswell and Bowes 11. Mo- uvaine, tney agreeiag to snpply the necessary steamships, for which they afterwards got the government Tl a to advance the money. It was agreed that Roberts should act as agent for the company at a salary of $10,000 a year Croswell also as an agent at $5000 a year Law to superintend the construction of the ressols at a salary of $3000 a years end Mcllvaine, as agent of Col. Sloo, and to be pail by him foOOO a year.

It was alleged in be half of that "the U. States gorernment agreed to giro, in the ten years the contract had to run, 900,000 to earr the mail, while the outlay for carry ing would not aiuiunt to more than $1,500,01 X)." In the report of tie Secretary of the Mary, dated December 1st, 1849, aid made to the present Con gress, that functionary sas The law under which these ressels are constructed does not elearly and distinctly define the powers and rights of the Gorernment over them, therefore, urgently invito the attention of law under which the contract was msia, to th-i Service in which the ressels are to be engaged, and to lueii, tnat, mould it be deemed adrisable to extend tho terms, then it may regulate the whole Subject by some distinct and unequivocal Mr. Preston, at the same time, spoke in condem nation of the "union of public and private means in this system of Ueean bteamers," nd said that it was sot called for by the necessities of the mail Mr-rice, and was of injurious influence to the Nary. Attempts hare been made in Congress to investigate the subject, in order to legislate npon it with distinctness, or to pat a term to the contract which the company hare entirely failed to comply with, on heir part. Two instances of this kind are thus reported by the papers In February last, Senator Downs of La offered resolution of inquiry into the system of ocean mail eon tracts, by steam companies, the compensation brrarb.es of contract by thouiTfany.

Senator Dickinson of N. objected to the reception of the resolution, and it lies over." On Tuesday the 13th of August, there was a similar passage in the Senate Mr. Davis of Massachusetts, submitted a reso lution directing the Postmaster General to m'2e a report to the Senate relatire to the contracts for mail terrioe by sea going steamers, the coat of such oootraou, tne manner oi penormuoe of such ser rioe, 6ie. Mr. Dickinson objecting, the resolution lies rer." The subject is to be kept oat of Congress until the last day of the seloo, then forced into the appropria tion oui, ana so passed without discussion, as on a occasion.

For this purpose, and to get rotes for the appropriation from the South, Mr. Dickinson is useful to Mr. Croswell and Croswoll, in return, makes himself useful to Mr. Dickinson and the South. Rut hwblia'ationa of the editor atnl kt.

k. tor and his aemooratio colleagues at Washington, his gratitude co-ex tensive. Tho whig Secretary of the Treasury has the supervision of his contract. Tha rotas of whigs In Congress are necessary to aveara appropriations. By a reoent order of the Supreme Court, entered npon tho application of the Raocirer of tho Canal Bank Mr.

White, a leading whig that person was directed to dispose, at publio sale, of all tha assets of tho back-except iu claim gainst Mr. Croswell, which he retains In his hands. In going for Mr Dickinson or a trAig, Mr. Croswell, therefore, readers himself acceptable to a large cirole Mr. Dickinson is in faror of the election of himself, or a Whig with a decided bias towards the first al-ternatire.

Mr. President Fillmore is In faror of the election of Mr. Dickinson, or a Whig with a decided bias in faror of the latter. The Cabinet, including the new Secretary of the Nary, hare the tame Inclination. The Southern party is in faror of the re-election of Mr.

Dickinson, or a Whig. The. Reneirer of the Canal Bank is in faror of the election of Dickinson, or a Whig with a conviction that Ike chaaee will not fall to Mr. D. Mr.

Croswell is in favor of Mr. Dickinson, or a Whig because he wants Southern rotes for appropriationsgiven to sustain a Southern press at the North and because he needs a convenient man In Congress to stave off inquiry and because he wants that siknoe and impunity from Whig officials at Albany, whieh his partner, Mr. WeUnore has reoeired at the hands of the Whig functionaries at Washington. His interest is measured by the $5,000 a year he now receives and his share in prospective profits of $1,200,000. It was attempted to enlist Mr.

Seward in this intrigue in faror of Mr. Dickinson or whig, by placing all the New fork nominations, la nearly every instance friends of the whig senator, in the hands and at the disposition of bis hunker colleague. Thus nearly all the enemies of the democracy of New York, whigs, slavery propagandists, and all, are in faror of Mr. Croswell, making the issue which he Is so pertinaciously engaged in forcing upon the democratic State Convention as a fard'tial principle of the party," and nearly all of them hope that it will result in the election of a whig. With the democracy of New York, to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

Fables. A now ronton, ehienr from original sowrees, by Rer. Thomas James, M- A. With sacra than 6 fly illustrations, designed by Juba Tto-aelL New ork. Published by Robert B.

Collins, No. 254 Pearl street. -No better time than the present eoald well be selected to bring before the American pubfie an elegant edition of the works of one of the most iHtutrions slares of antiquity. It is a fact Worth reaeotins: anon just at this time that sop, the originator of tho de partment of literature with which his tamo has been identified for more than two thcatand years, whose bole Socrates amused himself with turning Into Terse, and Which the greatest writers of antiquity constantly quoted which were eorrent ia all the fashionable society of Athens which Plato allowed to be read in bis imaginary republic, from whence Homer was excluded, and to the rerrification of which Phaedros owes all his fame, was a slave, a mere chattel, who, twice in his life, was bought and sold in the market place like a dumb beast. And it is a coincidence worth noting, in the same connexion, that Phaedros, the next most ill as trio us fabulist of anti quity, was else a slave.

The question naturally occurs to the curious en quirer whether the complexion has much, if any thing, to do with man's propensity to enslave his fellows, and whether those who in our own country, are now struggling to extend their accursed dominion over the bodies and souls of black men, would not be just as ready to extend it over white men if they taw before any reasonable chance of success. Aristotle found arguments to justify the enslavement of Plato, and no public sentiment as outraged by the procla mation of laws which transferred from one master to another, the personal control and ownership of such nun as Zenophon aad JEtop. Would the defence of southern institutions and southern rights now be one particle lers violent or menacing if every slave in the Union was of Caucasian descent, and wore a fair complexion 1 Leaving oar readers to speculate upon this inquiry at their leisure, we will torn to the dis charge of our critical function. Next to the Homeric poems, no works of antiqui ty hare been so universally read and admired as the fables of sop. Seren cities dispute the honor of having given birth to Homer.

Three still claim to hare been the birth place of Esop. It is doubted whether the author of the Homeric poems ever put any of them in writing. It is certain that none of the fables of sop, if ever written out by him at all, hare been preserved in the language which he used. The better opinion seems to be that he nublkhed ttem froin bis lips as occa sion offered, and that he relied entirely upon the memories of his hearers and of pos terity to perpetuate these monuments of his genius. He seems to hare spoken them, as occasion offered, in the streets and public places.

For example, when at Athens, he lectured the people through his fable of the Frogs asking for a King at Corinth, be warned bis bearers against mob law, by the famous fable, whioh Socrates afterwards, while in prison, tamed into Terse, of The Members and the Belly. When he was on his last mission to the Delphians, which terminated so fatally, and they threatened, what they afterwards executed, to destroy him, he endea vored to urge upon them the sacred lavs of hospital' ity, by telling them the fable of The Eagle and the Beetle, though without sucoess. It was in this way that the fables of JEaop, like tho jokes of modern wits, have been preserved and perpetuated by the memo ries and in the language of those who heard them. The present collection is taken from the versions of rarious ancient writers, the eldest of which. Ba tatas, lived about five hundred years after vEsop is supposed to bare died.

The popu'ar editions of JEsop, with which the literary publio is most familiar, hare been translated from a spurious version of a monk, of the middle ages, by the name of Planudes, and from the collection of Phaedrus, the Roman poet. The learning of Bentley has proven that not one-half of the fables ascribed to iEsop could have originated with him, and more recent discoveries at tho Vatican, have furnished yet ampler means of perfecting and expurgating the Esopin collection. These means have been used with great care and judgment, by the iler. Mr. James, the editor of the work before as, who has given the world, for the first time, a scholar like and classic edition of the fables of Aiiop Though the volume before us is a republication, it is in no particular inferior to Murray's London edition, so far as we are competent to judge.

In typography, illustrations, paper, and presswork, it is equal to the best specimens of English book-making We may be permitted to add, that if the ancients hare lea us any book, for its Toiame, of greater interest, or more abounding in wisdom and in wit, we are not ie to name it. Bentley confounded tho literary coxcombs of Christ Church, by proring that the fa bles of Esop, which they quoted as one of the evi deuces of the superiority of the ancients over the mo derns in literary wealth, were not written by an an cient, but by comparatively modern writers. The re ply of Bentley was conclusive, for it exposed the ig norance of his adversaries, who rested their argument upon the style and literary atruoture of the tables. If they had rested npon the imagination, the wisdom, the logio, the experience, the wit, which these fables display, and which were anoientand Ksopian, Bentley would hare lost one of his most brilliant triumphs. Certainly antiquity has left little so worthy of as eren the unauthentic and rariable versions of the fables of this Samian slave.

Gothic Aechitbcttjrr Applied to Modern Kksi-ornces, by D. H. Arnot, Architect. New York, D. Appleton Si Broadway.

The abore is the title of a quaio Tolume, Just published, in a complete fora, by Messrs. D. Appleton it having been originally issued in nine numbers. The work, the want of which has been long felt in this country, is quite original in ite conception. Its plan include, not only buildings as a whole, but entrances, hells, stairs, parlors, and all the minor details of domestic architecture.

These are illustrated in no less than thirty-six plates, some of which are colored and illuminated in the finest style of art. This, we stottld state, was among the first works of the kind issued from the American press, and reflects not a little credit on the talents of the author, who has had tho whole superintendence of the engraving and letter-press, the former having been executed by himself, from his own sketches. The work, which is of intrinsic value, not only to the student but to the architect, should be in the possession of erery lover of the science. The incongruities and absard combinations which hare crept into modern architecture, through the ignorance of those professing a knowledge of it, has long oalled for some reform. In some places we see the Gothio mixed in ineitri- able confusion with other forms, totally dissimilar in character, and such distortions and monstrosities are most frequently seen in what are termed, by the uninitiated, handsome residences.

It is with a riew to tho correction of this false taste, and for the better information of those unacquainted with the more important particulars of domestie architecture in this style, that the work has been written The descriptive portion of the book cannot fail to be interesting to the general reader, divested, as it is, of all those technicalities which serve only to obtcore what is not itself quite intelligible. The engravings ore executed in a good style, and with a nice regard to the effects of light and shade, and the lines of designs are drawn with a distinctness very seldom seen in lithographic plates.

W. cV B. Weeterman Brothers. New York-This is aa American Dictionary of the English and German languages, with the pronunciation and accentuation of Webster and Li pejus, containing also a grammar of other languages, and dialogues constructed expressly with reference to grammatical forms. Special attention also has been paid by the compiler to those technical terms which are in general use, and to those numerous familiar American words and expressions which, if not Americanisms, are yet more in rogue here than in other countries where English is spoken.

The dictionary is a small one, and easily handled, but being closely and fiuoly printed, a Urge number of words and phrases are included in it. The author has shown on usual skill in the condensation and arrangement of his material. To those who are beginning the study of either the German or the English languages, such a neat and at the same time copious band-book will be of the greatest assistance. The magazines.

The mercantile interests of this city, so far as they are connected with those of California, will be gratified to learn that the Treasury Department at Washington, hare just made an important decision under the following cir cumstances All the early shipments from New York to' San Francisco, across the Isthmus, were made precisely as our coastwise shipments are made. Certified manifests and consoler endorsements were not legally necessary, nor were they required.

When these goods arrived at San Francisco, Mr. Collier, the Collector there, undertook to charge duties on these goods, or to require bonds for the production of proof that they were of American origin, or had paid duties iu the United States. This proof, it was impos sible in most cases, to procure. Besides, as many of them were shipped while Mr Lawrence was Collector, he could not certify, now being out of office, nor could Mr. Maxwell, as the oircumstanoee occurred before he came into office.

Neither could the former or present American Consul, at Panama certify, for similar reasons. Owing to the intelligent perseverance of Messrs. Livingston, Wells 4c by whose exertions the Treasury order of the 28th of February was obtained, regulating the present mode of shipments, relief has at last been obtained for the early shippers. Mr. Meredith would do nothing, but Mr.

Corwin, on being apprised of the facts, has issued an order to Mr. Collier, to cancel these bonds, on the production of a list of the goods shipped, with the marks and numbers, the names of the ressels by which sent, and an affidavit of the shippers at New York, as to the origin of the goods, or their having paid duties. Messrs. W. dc hare deposited with the Collector of the Port, a copy of the affidavit on which the new order was obtained.

A Free University. The only University that we know of at present in fall operation, in which all tuition Is absolutely gratuitous, is the Unirersity of Michigan. This institution situated on the Central Railroad, about two boors ride from Detroit, at Ann Arbor. By act of CoDgress, one section of land in erery township in the state was reserved exclusively for iU endowment, so that it is wholly independent of all fees from students for tuition. The buildings are unsurpassed for neatness and eommo-dioosness.

Antiquities or the As it would be impossible ts continue our account of the early records of the city in the regular order of dates without devoting more time than we have at our command, we will note those events and things of more particular importance and prominence, only giving the correct time as near as can be ascertained. The next street noticed on the records, after Exchange-place, referred to at the conclusion of our first article, is Beekman, which was regulated and pared in the year 1750, about whioh time the Episcopal church, known as St. George's, was erected.

A new edifice, In the Norman style of architecture, has boen built on Stuvvesant square, within the last two years, to which the name of St. George's Church has been given, the old church being situated at too great a distance from the congregation, the larger portion of whom reside np town a number of the parishioners still continue, howorer, to worship in the old build Log. The street derives its name from William Beeck-mao, who was the proprietor of a farm on the site of this thoroughfare. Aiifficalty arose between this worthy gentleman and some persons who claimed a right of way through his grounds. In proof of their claims they stated that their cattle with those of their neighbors were herded erery year on the commons, at pre sent the Park, forming a pathway which has since been converted into a street.

This took place as far back as the year 1636. In 1766, the Brick Presbyterian Chuich in this street was erected, the Presbyterians of tho city baring previously presented a petition to the town Council for a grant of the angular piece of ground 'o the north-eastward of the vineyard, and opposite the old wind mill spot," as stated in the records of that day. In addition' to granting the petition, a perpetual lease of the ground for forty dollars per annum, was also given. At the termination of Beekman street was a twamp, which was bought in 1734 by Jacobus Roosevelt, who paid two hundred pounds for hit purchase. The ground is at present occupied by Ferry and other adjoining streets.

The Bowling Green, which has excited no small share of attention from the publie, on account of the strange appearance it at one time presented with its fountain of artificial rock, was in the year 1659, according to the old Dutch records of that dato, used as a cattle market. Adjoining this ground stood a church, though to what denomination it belonged is not sta ted, on one side of which posts were erected for the purpose of securing the cattle brought to market. A resolution was passed by the city gorernment, to the effect that sheds should also be built on the ground. In this market a fair was held every Thurs day. Friday, and Saturday of each week, which Continued for several year after 1676.

It was not however, until 1728, that it was converted into a publie pleasure ground, when it obtained the name of the Parade," though it most hare since greatly contracted In tixe, at its present dimensions would hardly allow of its being employed at a publio promenade. The ground was formally made orer to the people in 1732, by a resolution which stated that walks should be made therein for the beauty and ornament ox tne oowung ureen, as weU as for the delight of the inhabitants of this eity." That the agreement might be made in due legal form, Peter Kavaxd. wiauaaainn.aua Aoacr jay, were appointed ko-teet for the people, at the certainly not extraragant rent of one pepper corn per annum, for the term of elates yean. Broad street, at present tho most business thorough-faro in tha city, was originally a marsh, through which tho Dutch shortly after their settlement on the Island, true to their inatiiict.made a drain which they termed the "graft" or canal. On each side of this canal a number of dwellings were erected in 1656, after which it vat called the Hecre graft," which signifies the principal drain," the name given to it by aa ordinance pawed at this period.

As the high tides which came np this canal generally caused a earing in of the banks, the sides were boarded op with planks stuck endwise into the ground. It would teem that thii "graft" was dectned of some importance by tho Dutch, at aa officer as appointed for tha special pmrpoee of keeping i.it jaod eondition, Tt- f-'T r-T rtrh thsf mi-wH float end acooam saodate reseets of a large aavwraj. of whieh. mav-loadot their eargoes here tnesawi a ImiIs, wWefc MOOaV ierested in the tiiMtr avmong esas athar ia- aMaajtel Sana JliaaAa.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 24. 1880. was the erection of a market house in 1677, toon after which date tho street was called Broad street, la 1710, a new market house was built between Wall street and Exchange Place, to which was added another, erected about twenty-eight years after. Aa exchange Was eosameneed in this street In 1751. aad finished in 1755, the expenses of which were defrayed by subscriptions.

Daboll's Foo Whistle. This Ingenious invention was exhibited at pier No. 3 orth River, yesterday, to a large number of persons, who were present at the invitation of tho inventor, Mr. DaboIL Tho machine, which weighs about a ton, It of a cylindri cal form, two feet and a half in diameter, and about three feet and a half in height- On each tide is a balance wheel weighing four hundred and sercnty-five pounds, by which, with the aid of a tingle opera-tire, the air pumps, of which there are two, are set In operation. These force the air into an air-chamber from which its escape is prevented by means of a conical valve worked by a spring, which, in addition to the pressure of the condensed air from within the chamber, effectually prevents its passage out.

When the machine is charged with a pressure of 240 pounds to the square inch, the air it passed by a stop cock from the chamber into a tube, from which It Issues with great force against an iron bell, (the first of the kicCt we were informed by the inventor, ever made in this country,) producing a sharp shrill whistle, whioh may be heard at the distance of several miles. This machine hat been made to demonstrate the entire practicability and general utility of such means of warning for light-ships, light-houses, The Fog Whistle, which was in use on board the lightship at Bartlett's Hoof, in Long Island Sound, last fall, is said to hare been equal to the steam whistle attached to locomotives, and much superior to any bell. Notwithstanding the testimony of several owners of ships, in regard to its merits, the Superin tendent of Light-houses, although strongly urged to substitute it for the bells, which were in general use then, refused to do so, On the ground that it would take too much time to charge the machine. The inventor since, however, entered into an agreement with him, that the gorernment should pay half the expenses towards the construction of another, that the superior qualities claimed for the fog whistle might be subjeoted a fair test. After a great deal of time and labor had been expended, the present article was made, which can be charged in the short space of half a minute.

Such machines, if generally adopted on our sea coast, must be of in calculable benefit in protecting our eommeree. Mr-Daboll, the inventor, is a resident of Providence, Rhode Island. The Pacific.

N. New York Dispensaries. We give below the re ports, for the month of uly, of some of the Dispen saries in New York; which may be.found interesting as exhibiting the number of persons who hare obtain ed relief from those institutions. Tho number of patients who have been relieved by the New Tork Dispensary, which is situated on the corner of Centre and White streets, during the last month, was 3.701, of whom 3000 were attended to at the dispensary, and 701 at their residences 1,515 of these were males, and 2,186 females. 15,235 prescriptions were made up by the apothecary, being an average per day of 500; the largest number put np for a single day was 702.

--In the Northern Dispensary, on the cornet of Waverley place and Christopher street, a large nutn ber of patients received assistance for the mouth end ing July 31st. The number of patients treated during that time is 1S9. Of these, 1785 were cured or rolioved, 17 died, 9 were sent to the City Hospital, 9 discontinued their visits to the dispensary, and 69 are still under treatment. No less than two hundred prescriptions were made up here daily, making a total of about 6,000 for the month. In the City Hospital 220 patients were admitted during the past month, which, with 235 remaining under treatment from the month of June, makes a total of 455, 246 of whom were discharged, leaving 209 in the institution at the commencement of the present month.

Hon. Henry Clay passed through this city this morning, on his return to Washington, having left Newport in last night's boat. The Coroner held an inquest yesterday at the City Hospital upon tho body of Prous Seatoorcs, a German, 19 years of age, whose death was caused by his falling into a hogshead of boiling swill, a short time since, while at his employers on Long Island. Deceased arrived in this country, from Germany, on the 4th of July last. Monument to Silas Wrioht.

On Tuesday next, 27th will be completed and dedicated at Weybridge, the monument to the memory of Hon. Silas Wright, whioh has been provided for by the contributions of his many friends and admire-s, prompted by the generous exertions of Solomon W. Jewelt, Esq. The day selected for the ceremony is the third anniversary of the deplorable calamity which deprived New York and the Union ot one of the great est and best statesmen who have adorned our annals and shed the lustre of their virtues and their genius upon her councils. The occasion will call together a large assemblage of people from rarious parts of the country, anxious to assist in doing honor to the memory of the illustrious dead.

it will also summon from their homes a number of the distinguished men of all parties, vhose pride it was to be bound to Mr. Wright by the tics of an honorable and enduring friendship. Among the latter are Ex-President Van Buren, Gen. John E. Wool, Hon.

B. F. Butler. Hon. John Van Buren and Frau ds P.

Blair, Gen. Scott, whose letter we hare oeen permitted to see, expresses a strong hope, not unmingled, however, with doubt, that he will be able to disengage himself from official duties in order to be present. The letters of Mr. Van Buren and Gen. Wool, are very explicit, so that nothing but some unforeseen event can prevent their attendance.

it is expected tnat Messrs. J3. cutler and Jonn Van Buren- will deliver addresses at the niacins- of the Cap Stone, which will take clace at 3 o'cloca P. M-. on Tuesday afternoon next, August 27.

nose wno design, to attend are advised to ame at Middlebury before going orer to Weybridge, as the village at the latter place is small, and no arrangements, will be there made for the accommodation of a crowd. The ride over from Middlebury is only four miles. We are sincerely stratified to be able to chronicle thus early, the consummation of an enterprise, whioh, while it is valuable as a tribute to the memory of the dead, is the more gratifying, because it is a tree and spontaneous offering of the popular heart upon the shrine of wisdom and rirtue.

OQs- A statement in the money article of a eertaln morning paper, referring to a transaction bat wean our selves and Suydam, Sage is erroneous as to fact, and yet more so as to the hnprersions it seems calculated to prodoee. The i referred to, amounting to (6,000, were taken, In the regular course of our bus'twss, from Messrs. Ward on the 19th of April last, long before the credit of Suydam, Sage Co. was impaired or suspected. Information communicated since the failure, and ths advice of experienced counsel, have induoed the legal pioeeedings whieh have been adopted, and which, it will be seen, will be fully sustained by proof.

The arrest of one of our firm upon any charge however absurd or reasonable, Is neither refutation nor defence. These questions should properly be left to our legal tribunals, aad we regret exceedingly that we have felt compelled to make even this brief explanation through the public prints.

Price, uslin, CO cents per volume Muslin, gilt edges, '4 cents per volume.

In selecting the subjects for the successive volumes of this series, it has been tha object of the author to look for the names ef those great personages whose histories constitute useful, and not metely entertaining knowledge. There are eertain names which are familiar, as names, to all mankind and every person who seeks for any degree of mental cultivation, feels desirous of informing himself of the leading outlines of eir history, that he may know, in brief, what it their characters or their doings which has given tht so idely-extended a fame. This knowledge, which it see incumbent on every one to obtain in respect to such men as Hannibal, Alexander, Ctesar, Cleopatra, Darius, Xerxes, Alfred, William the Conqueror, Queen Elisabeth, and Mary Queen of Scots, it is the design and object of these volumes to communicate, in a faithful, and, at the same time, in an attractive manner. Consequently, great historical names alone are selected and It has been the writer's aim to present the prominent and leading traits In their characters, and all the important events in their lives, in a bold and free manner, and yet in the plain and simple language whioh ia so obviously required in works which aim at permanent and practical usefulness. We know of no writer in this county whose style and ability better fit him for such a service.
