Anthony Trollope, author of “ DootorThorna” and “ The Bortrama ’’ One of theae, called “The Three Clerke,"{a‘eaeeaf{ally a atory.noi, only of Xondoh hnt alio of offieial life. The three individuals who maiidy flgttreln it l: aroolerks In tfovornment offloes IS London, and the ceiebratod circumlocution sys tem gets many a sharp hit in the cohVso of the tale. There is MMelhing, alßa. abopt coinpetitiyeeiaisi natlon/whfoh has been inEngland al simply topat pedantry lb office and oaelnde Or* dinary edacatioß : and good sense. The story la well told—particularly that of Alario Tndor, with his aihillon, temptations,- and fall. Bln trial, with the eaamlhatlen of-Mr. Pndy iSoott, M. P,, is well told.. There Is a capital full-length of Mr. Gregory “ a gray-halrod old pnbllo functionary,” witpae soul is wrapt np in bis efSoial life. The Female eharaoters in this novel are gene rally true-hearted and sensible gentlewomen.' ’* Castle Riohmond,” also by Mr. Trollope, wht) 33 a son of the famous'anthpreas pf 11 Mob and Manners in Amerlos,” and a. whole brigade of other hooka, la a tale of a Very , different descrip tion. . The ecepe Is mainly,ln Ireland, dutitag the famine of 1847, end we must say. that, Englishman though ha he,- Mr. Trollope allows an intimate so quaintataoe with-the Emerald Isle. Ho oleverly hits off the prominent oheraoteriatlos. of the Irish people, rloh and, poor, and .'shows a thorough knowledge, of localities-as well asoharaotor. Tt Is probably only oerelessness in the printing office which puts Maodom for Mac room, and mentions the leading thoroughfare in Cork as Pati-Ut instead of Patriok -afreet, the eoettb, In Ireland, In Duhallow, between Malic# and Kantnrk. Th'a Fitageralda, of Oaatlo Riohmond, are the leading oharaoters. Kr Thomas' til Ml sdli Herbert, with a certain cousin of Fitsgereld, of Hap Hoosc, one of the most thorough gentlemen, in heart and potion, we have .met with for nlong time, in nr .out of fiotion. A prondend poor Count ess of Desmond, with her yonng son and handsome daughter, also boars upon the action nnd passloh of thin' story.' The interest turns Upon the maehlha tions of a preoions - brace of,scoundrels, lather and eon, named Mollett, - who- hie tome power whloh they have to *ltort Money from ;Sir Thomas Fits gertild,,ana finally cheat 'themßelves.

This etory alone would-plaoe Mr. Tsulloph high among the beat no volute nf the day. Thackeray’s last Kovel, “Level the Widower,” whioh has exalted no small attention in the first volqme of the, Curnhill -jfrlagaziii'e t and simulta neously in Harper’ll Magazine, has been pub lished, by the Harpers, in ootavo, with the original illustrations. It will be read with Aviditj* because every,one.is curious about Thackeray ’s Writings. Speaking critically of it, #a must say. that the etory la-very-mnoti and has a mimihum nf incident, There are numerous oharacterh—-hot sue of whom we should care to taeot in aotunl life except poor -Bedford* Mid It wonld not be quite pleasant to nisoelaW with him, seeing that he is only a Servant. ‘ Yoq' will read “ Lovol,” and ad-- mire the author's knowledge of soolely, arid won der how ho so perpetually shows what a number of bad and baddiih people he mast have known. A hint is given, at the close, Diet ” t'oVel Married, ’■ may one day oomhieft this story, ijnless its morale be a grest deal better, we shall hive no very anxlons curiosity to reed It.’ ir.Thackeray WritCa many such tales aB “Lovol the Widower,’’ he will find hit reputation wane as rapidly as it rose.

The wholotjohrseof the Pathfind er’* passion for Mabel tlunhsm shows a ohlvalrous end delicate sentiment, fully in keeping with all that' is told, in other Tolnmes, of hfs manly, end loyal heart. Thc illustrations by Barley, upon sleei and wood, are exeouted by the best artists, In a man ner, suitable to the beauty and merit of the-de eigna. This Is the eighteenth' volume of the new edition, whloh, taken'as a whole.

Four numbers have appeared -each containing eight, vignettes on steel and es many more on wood, with descriptive letter-press from Cooper.

Simplicity and shrewdness an ouriously blended In this well-draws character, which is sketched with as mneh force, and far more delloaoy, than any of the sea-heroes of Smollett or Marryatt. Since the publication of Gerald Griffin’s fine story of “ The Invasion,” (now inoluded in the col* leotive edition of his Life and Writings, lately pub lished by Messrs.

The ticket office is on thedook oppotite the wheel-house, and is arranged with two holes, but only one wag open In the morning, and the man en gaged at it was not busy all the time. Moef of the visitors were ladies and gentlemen in coaples; ac companied by a few children—a large proportion coming in carriages. It is only those who oan af ford to indulge in that kind of looomotion who will bo likely to pay tbe $1 admission fee; for it prac tically excludes the army of mechanics and per sons of small incomes who would. be delighted to see tbe ship at a reasonable price. About 1,500 peoplo were admitted during the day. a Tjie Old Elm.—The old elm on Boston Jommou is in tho hands of the dootorß, and with a good premise, if not of recovery, of at least maintaining its present vitality ; Though very much like a man with one arm to the* shoulder 1 gone, it may, by .care and nursing, be made, perhaps, to live another half century.

The eighty-fourth anniversary of American in depondeoee wss doteb&Ued on AVeiaesday In a moro poaoeable and less lioisy manner than it has boon at any time for many years. This may be attributed, in & certain degree, to tho efforts of the Mayor and his. polieo to' put a stop to the general of fire-works, attendant as it is with dan ger to life, and property.

Tbeoxtreme right of. tUo pri equality, and made each State so vereign in itsolf, ylolding to tho Federal Govern ment such powers only ss would enable it to per form its functions with vigor and efiioiouoy, as a singlo nation. This was nn amicable arrangement, to be continued through all time, without tho right to dissolve or wooken its obligations. Every new State has been admitted into the Union upon the • original grounds of compromise, and Is alike bound by its requirements. Inferiority of position or privileges m any one State or geographical seotiou can never be tolerated without degradation to sueh State or section. The Constitution, sod the laws passed in accordance with its provisions, are the legitimate nrbitors of ell disputes arising between members of -the Confederacy- There is no higher law than tho Constitution itsplf. Theso aro funda mental truths, end upon them the Democratic party is based Bo it, therefore, Resolved, That to the constitutional safeguards provided by onr fathers, we must look, for protec tion and encouragement, denouncing every at tempt either to rectionaliao or consolidate tho powers of tho Government, to the destruction of Slat© rights, whether such efforts spring from the heresies of Blaok Republicanism, or tbe equally dangerous doctrine of secession from the Union. The internal nolioy of tho individual States ranst net be regulated according to the prejudice or oa prico of a baffimojorUy in Congress. Resolved, That-tho right ofefich State to rege late its own domeatlo polfoy is guarantied by tbe Constitution, and was never called in question until personal ambition or blind fanaticism discovered a method by which.tho Union could be placed in Kesofvedi That tho right is natural for commu nities, when doßtrons of forming either States or Territories, to determine whether voluntary or in voluntary servitude shall exist.within their limits ; and every attempt by the General Government to forco such States or Territories into tho adoption of either system, is a-violation of the Constitution, I and destructive of personal liborty. i Resolved, That tbo enemies of Democracy, j whether they bo called Black Republicans or ' Southern Ditmnloulsts, have a common and-! mutually understood -object—tbe destruction of ; the equality of the States and a dissolution of the j Union ; and as thopurposes'of suoh organizations j are alike treasonable in thoir character, tho j National Democracy will opposo both as dangerous 1 foes to the Institutions of tho country. Resolved , That, as a Domooratio Convention, composed of representatives from evory State in the Union, is the highest authority known to the party, tbe Democracy of Philadelphia do not ro cognize the right of any city, State, or county com mfttoo la the attempt to repudiate or compromise either its platform of principles or its nominees.

It will be no more than justice for the pirtiea who hold land warrants requiring, as they now do, upwards of seven million five hundred thousand sores to 1 satisfy them, to demand from tho .Government money equivalent to the value of g*id landi, bfiot to the passage of said homestead bill. Resolved, further. That as there afe nrfw two hun dred thousand suspended' claims in the Pension Office, a large amount of whioh will yet be allowed, arid there are daily on an average twenty claims jijrsented, and about twenty-five warrants are dally i ssued, as appears from the .reports of the,proper office, it serins not only unjust,,, but flagrantly wrong, for the two Houses of Congress to In Add pftsi a law repealing bounty-laud acts, by giving tho publlo lands away *t a nomioat prloo, when only a portion of the soldiers and sailors of the-war of 1812, and their widows, have received their land Warrants towbich they are entitled us* dev the present IwuntVflcf* of the nation..
