That remarkable sensation book, “Out of the
Depths : the Story of a Woman’s Life,” repub
lished by W. A. Townsend A Co., of New York,
is attracting attention and dividing public opinion
in this country as it did in England. It reallv is
the autobiography of a woman of the town, and
shows no Email knowledge of the dreadful life of
people of that class. It docs not contain an im
pure thought or sentence, nor can it awaken an
impure idea. The story is tinged with romance,
too, but yet reads as if it were based on fact.
A Com|>endmm of Classical Literature, by Prof.

view of tho moat eminont of the Greek and Latin
poets, historians, philosophers, orators, and mis
cellaneous writers; with their lives, accounts of
their writings, and choice extracts (selected or
original translations) from their works; and brief
notioesof such classical writers as are less gene

NEW YORK.
New York, was engaged on a Diary of the Ameri
can Revolution, collected from the Whig and Tory
newspapers of the period,.and from original does
menu. It is to be completed in two Bvo. volumes,
one of which (in his possession as a specimen by
which to collect subscribers,) has been exhibited
to us by Mr. John McFarlane, agent for this State,
the District of Columbia, and Canada. It will bo
published by C. Scribner, of New York. The spe
cimen volume in question is incomplete, wanting
one hundred pages as yet—having been bound for
canvasring. Enough thoro is, however, to show
ui that the work will be extremely valuable and
interesting. As the Preface says:
“ The diary form of the work presents the every
day life of the people—this day news of the 1 affair
at Lexington,’ or tbo ‘ bloody at King’s
Mountain, is brought to us, and the next, someone
jokos on the ridiculous figure Earl Percy made re
treating beforo the provincials, ‘ who fought like
savages from behind stone walls and fences all the
twelve miles from Concordor another page pays
a well-merited tribute to the ‘gallant Ferguson,
who fought like a hero for Ms king. 1 One day the
pious Dr. Leonard preaches patriotism and self
reliance to the anuy at Cambridge, and the same
aftornoon Putnam goes out with his forces to fight
the British on Hog Island. Thu day General
Washington arrives, ‘amidst the acclamations of
the largest multitude ever gathered iu New York,*
and in tho evening ‘our new* Governor Tryon
lands quiotly from the ship‘Juliana,’ which tho
day beforo anchored at Sandy Hook, being ju<t
thirty-five days from England. The work also con
tains accounts of the balls, parties, marriages and
deaths, oriticituns upon men and books, wedding
parties, slcigh-ridcs, tho Whigs tarred and fea
thered by tho Tories, and vice versa; fox hun'&by
offieersof tho British army; surprises, birthday
colohrntions, practical joke 3 by men whom wehavo
boon taught to bolievo were of the mo3t serious
natural disposition; patriotic songs and ballads *
horso racc3, games, masquerades, reviews; anec
dotes of tho most oelebratod men and women, po
pular merriments and usages, and the oelobrations
of national festivities ” The work i 3 ably anno
tated, where necessary. The illustrations, con
elating of plans of cities and portraits, are admira
bly engraved. Mr. Moore has hit upon a novel
idea, which no other man of our time could aocom
pletely work up. Ilia American Songs and Ballads,
and American Eloquence, show his marked ability
na a historian and antiquarian.
The July number of tho Irish Quarter!)/ Review
devotes over ono hundred and thirty pages of small
print to a biographical and critical notice of Lady
Morgan, the latoly-doceased Irish novelist. She
commenced by writing bitter-bad poetry- Her
biographer says: “It wasofton at tho most un
seasonable moments that the muse would turn
caressingly to Sydney. Sometimes, when in bed
at night, enveloped with darknosa and Limerick
,blankets, a gush of insptratiop would saturate the
little poet’s brain.” How sho camo to havo a hus
baud and got him knighted is thus rolatci: “ Sur
geon Morgan, in tho mean time, with n smitten
heart, followed Sydnoy Owen&on to Dublin,
and persecuted her with declarations of the love
which filled him to distraction. Tho popular Duke
of Richmond invited tho authoress and Mr. Mor
gan to ono of the private balls at tho
Viceregal Court, llis Excellency, in tho course
of a lounging conversation with Miss Oweuson,
playfully alluded to the matrimonial report which
had begun to be bruited about, and expressed a
hope to ha\o the pleasure, at no distant day, of
congratulating heron her marriage. ‘The rumor
respecting Mr. Norg&n'iide'voittiiicai,' she replied,
'may or may not bo true; but this I can at least
with all candor nnd sincerity assure your Grace,
that I shall remain to the last day of my life in sin
gle blessedness unless souio more tempting induce
ment than tho mere ebango from Miss Owonson to
Mistress Morgan bo offered me.’ The hint was
takeD, and Charles Lennox, Duko of Richmond, in
virtue of tho powers of his office, knighted Surgeon
Morgan upon tho spot.” Then she married him,
and bccamo Lndy Morgan—forty, hut neither fat
nor fair.
In " American Photographs,” by the Misses
Turnbull, recent tourist* In theUnitod. States, they
apeak of a •* shopping excursion *’ with an Ame
rican lady Ono who professes to belong to that
class has written to a London paper, denying that
tho above phrase, or tho term “fixings,” can be
used by any “ but the low and vulgar in the United
States, just as many Cockney and slang words are
used by the samo clrss in Great Britain," and add
ing thateho nover heard of “fixings” except in
tho books of travel written by English people.
Then the lady has missed a native dish ot ‘‘chick

The Critic , a literary journal in London, be
lieves it perfectly true that an American agent is
in England, “ who offered Mr. Dickens £lO,OOO
down in cosh if ho will bind himsolf to give a se

as wo happen to know, was $25,000, or half tho
amount named here. Tho Critic adds: “ Strange
in it may appear, however, the great author does
not peem to bo particularly anxious to accept this;
but whether because ho thinks he can employ hia

“Hunted Down.” which lately ran through thro*
numbers of the Net? Yorhht>r. It oeeupled about
seven columns, altogether, la the Ledger, and wae
really not nearly so good as Emerson Bennett
would have written. The subject is eld, being the
case of Wainwright, the English artist-anther, who
insured the lives of bis relatives and friends, and
poisoned them off to get- the money promised by
the policies. Bulwer, it may be remembered,
founded his novel of “Lucretia” on this aetoal

What i a Mr. De Quineey'a real patronymic?
Ihe correspondent of a Manchester paper write*
thus: “Sir—Sixty-five years ago come Deem Ur,
I was apprenticed to the drug business in the shop
now occupied by Mr. Gibbons U Market-street
lane. The adjoining premises, cow Mem. Thom*
son, booksellers, wts then a warehouse, the firm
Mullion A Lennox, in the Irish linen trade, no
cessors to Mr. Quinesy. I knew Mr. Qcineej’j
residence very well; it was then a delightful walk
in the fields, in the neighborhood of Greenbeys,
Cornbrook, separating the road from the grounds.
I wish to sak yon if you think you are eorreet in
•dding ‘D*’ to the name Quineey? I kuow D«
Quineey, the Opium Eater, ttils ns he spent hie
early days here, at Greenbeys; but that addition
to the name was not nsed at the time to wbleh I
have alluded, so for as it eama to my bearing.
Yours respectfully, A Puscnaszn. Broughton,
August 25,1859. P. 8. I always thought the *IV
was added by the Opium Eater to give more con
sequence to his name.” To this the editor adds:
“ We cannot answer the question further than by
stating that in Laurent’s map of 1793 It i* marked
as *Mr. Quincey’s bouse,' tho *De' being omitted.
The name does not occur in the oldest Manchester
directory that we have at hand, that of 1797”
There i? a great lottery of old 'pictures in Lon
don. “ The Birth of Jupiter,” supposed to be by
Julio Romano, cost Lord Xorthwaek £6O, and was
bought for the National Gallery, at his sale, tor
£l,OOO. A “Venus,” presumed to be by Titian,
which was purchased at an auction some years
ago for less than £2O, has been bought by the
Duke of Wellington, on the advice of BaropMaro
cheth, the sculptor, for £5,000. The paternity of
both pictures is very doubtful.
Gotham is a name often gjven to New York by
Its inhabitants. In Europe, it is a term of re
proach, and “ the wise men of Gotham ” is gene
rally laughed at. In Kelly's Proverbs of all Na
tions, the following explanation is gfrun; Gotham
is a village of Nottinghamshire, declared by uni*
versal reasons unknown, to be the
headquarters of stupidity in this country, on
whoso inhabitants all sorts of ridiculous stories
might be fathered. The convenience of having
such a butt for sarcasm has been recognised by all
nations. The ancient Greeks had their Bceotfo,
which was for them what Suabia is for the modern
Germans. The Italians compare foolish people to
those of Zago, “ who sowed needles that they
might have a crop of crowbars, and dunged the
steeple to mako it grow.”
The French say, “ Ninety-nine sheep and a
Champenese make a round hundred,” the man
being a stupid animal like the rest. The Abbe
: Tuet traces back tho origin of thti story to Cseearis
conquest of Gaul. Before that period the wealth
of Champagne consisted in flocks of sheep, which
pa’.d a rate in kind to the public revenue. The
conqueror, wishing to favor the stable of the pro
vince, exempted from taxation all flocks numbering
less than a hundred head, and the consequence was
that the Champenese always divided their sheep
into flocks of ninety-nine. But Caesar was soon
even with them, for he ordered that in fatora the
shepherd of every flock should be counted as a
sheep, and pay as one.
