In T1109119V9 PRESS appeared a paragraph, headed " Americanisms," probably taken from some other newspaper, which professed to trace certain slang words to foreign sources. Some of the derivations are fanciful, but probably not the less true. Stampede, chaparral,raneh, and e•omose are set down as Mexican. Stain= pede, which originally meant a general scamper of frightened animals on the Western prairies, come from the Spanish word estampado, stamping of feet. Chaparral, indicating a se ries of thickets, of various sizes, from one hundred yards to a mile through, with bushes and briars; all covered with thorns, and so closely intertwined together as almost to pre vent the passage of anything larger :hart a wolf or ban, coma from tho Spanish chaparral, a bush of a species of oak—the termination al signifying a place abounding in, as parcel, a vineyard.; ea/dal, a coffee plantation. Ranch, a rude nut of posts, covered with branches or thatch, where herdsmen or farm-laborers live or only lodge for a night, comes from the Spa t:llos rancho, and, in Mexican parlance, a village composed of few or many such huts is called a rancheria. Vamose comes from the Spanish names, let us go, and is used, Mildly in the Southwest, as to depart, decamp, or be off. As regards English slang, now naturalized in this country, we shall only notice the words mentioned in the paragraph which suggested these remarks. In that excellent work, Bart lett's Dictionary of Americanisms, are given numerous examples of English slang or patois engrafted upon the Anglo-American language ; but Dr. Alfred L. Elwyn, of this city, pub lished a Glossary or Supposed Americaniams about three years ago, in which he endeavored to 'prove, and did largely prove, that the ma jority of so•eonsidered Americanism were English corruptions—chiefly provincialisms— variously brought over and adopted here. we have not fir. Elwyn's book at hand to refer to, but recollect that, though it occasionally en deavored to prove too much, it generally es tablished his case, and was learned, ingenious, and amusing, as well as instructive. Should Dr. Elwyn have a second edition, we beg to refer him to a curious work published two years ago by John Camden Hotteu, London, who, indeed, is also its author. This is a Dictionary of Modern Slang, Cant, and Vulgar Words used at the present day in the streets of London, the Universities of Oxford and Cam bridge, the Houses of Parliament, the dens of St. Giles, and the Palaces of - St. James. We imported our copy, and have derived much in formation and instruction from it. The arti cle on Americanisms in Appleton's new Ame rican Cyclopedia is satisfactory, though ne cessarily brief. Larrup, given by Bartlett as an American ism, means to beat or flog, and is noted kr Ha, liwell as an English provincialism. Mitnte, to run away or abscond, is a very old English word. We have read an epigram, written as far back as M, describing the manner in which James 11. was hit at for the manner in which he ingloriously fled his country when the Prince of Orange arrived. It ended thus Scarcely four years King James be reigned, And then he mizzled." The legitimate word mizzle is a verb neuter, signifying to rain in imperceptible drops, and comes from mist, an Anglo-Saxon word. Very small rain, would easily become familiarized down to a verb, mistle, to rain, and from mistle would come mizzle. Mr. llotten explains mizzle as "to run away, or decamp; to disappear as in a mist. From mi44../e, a drizzle rain ; a Scotch mist. And then one mizzling Michaelmas night, Plh4 Let up, a release, is not an Americanism, but a phrase borrowed from the dialect of Bri tish pugilism. Rotten does not node() it_ He says that let on, to give an intimation of having some knowledge of the subject, is common in Seutland i and is employed by Allan Ramsay in The Gentle Shepherd." Yearn, meaning yours, (contraction of yos_. own,) is decidedly English, generally usetienit only in the West of England, but among the cockneys of London. Our% ours ; hern, hers ; theirn, theirs ; and him, his—obvious corruptionsall—are undeniably English. Slit'sa is a word which we have never heard in Eng land. It is a fact that scarcely any of these corruptions of the English language are ever used in Ireland. There, certain vowels, (chiefly the a) are sounded rather too broad ly for ‘4 cars polite," but that is all. Authors and actors Mho say Pater and *wale instead of' Peter and sweet, show great ignorance of Irish- English. The fact is, English is comparative ly a novelty in Ireland, having been very little spoken there until the latter part of Elizabeth's reign, when Raleigh colonized the county of Cork, (his residence, with its fine old garden, is still habitable in Toughall,) and the early part of the reign of .Tames 1., when the North of Ireland, and especially Derry, was colonized with English from London. Bogus certainly is not an Anglicism, and we doubt whether its meaning would be under stood in England by one person out of a hun dred thousand, and then only from reading it, in extracts from American journals. Rotten does not give it in his Dictionary of Modern Slang, Cant, and Vulgar Words—which goes far to show that it is not used by the lower classes in England, and certainly bogus is a word which no educated person, on either bide of the Atlantic, would employ, by choice, in speaking or writing. The word is not to be found in any English dictionary. Webster does not give it at all, and Worcester, adopt ing it from Bartlett, decisively dockets it "A cant term, 11. S." THE PRESS paragraph says: "'Bogus' is another Anglicism. It is, we belleVe, the vul gate for 6 Itorghese,' the name of a forger who operated' somewhat extensively across the water about twenty-five years ago. He passed false tokens and counterfeit bills to the amount of many thousands of dollars, and hence the term 'bogus' is applied to whatever is false and fraudulent?? Bartlett, which is undoubted authority, thus notices the word : cc Boons, adj., Counterfeit, false. The Boston Courier, of 411riti 12, 1857, in repOrting a case before the Superior Court in that city, gives the following origin of this word : The word bogus is a corruption of the name of one Borghese, a very corrupt in dividual, who, twenty years ago or more, did a tremendous business in the way of supply ing the great West and portions of the South with counterfeit bide and bills OD fictitious banks. The Western people fell into the habit of shortening the name of Borghese to that of Bogus; and 148 WI t, ea well as all others of like character, were, universally styled by them 'bogus' currency ! By an easy and not very unnatural transition, the word is now applied to other fraudulent papers, such as sham mortgages, bills of sale, conveyances, &c."' After this'explanation, the word bogus will scarcely again be claimed as luvring British origin. At the same time, we hold, with Dr. Elwyn, that a great number of reputed Americanisms may be traced back to English provincialisms of which, in eighteen counties alone, nearly 31,000 have been arrested by local glossaries. There are probably 00,000 words it: the collo quial tongue of tho lower classes of England. Of' these, a great number have been gradually introduced here by immigrants. The tendency of all modern languages, for the last eighty years—certainly since the commencement of the first French Revolution, when it became the fashion to adopt the cant, slang, and pro vincialisms of Paris and the country—has been to grow corrupt. To modern France, the quaint lollop erupleyed by Rabelais, him. ray, and Froissart, is comparatively unfamiliar, and thousands of words and phrases aro now spoken and written which were not heard, ex cept as slang, by Corneille: and Fenelon, Ra cine and Rousseau. The same deterioration of language is in progress in England, and, not less rapidly, among ourselves, from the sign and cant which we invent as well as from that which we adopt. The subject of Arnerieanigme, real and re puted, is of great interest, and we may occa sionally. return to it. New Publications. BAND-Boox OF FOREIGN TRAVEL.-11Arper Brothers; New York, will immediately publish a ktend-beek evr Travellers in Europe and the East, being a Guide through France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Sicily, Egypt, Syria, Tiarkoy, Green, Bwitzerland, Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, and Great Britain and Ireland. The work is from the pen of Mr. W. Pembroke Fetridge, and its object is to supersede Murray's eoelly series of separate Guide Rooks, (whisk are decidedly English in the tone and character of information,) by a single volume. at a reasonable price, touching and teaching upon every point triteregElbe to Avs,rzean travellers. There Is an immense amount of information here, the fruit of personal experience and observation, and an Ame rican about crossing the Atlantic will probably stove forty per coke, of dos Gruputtrtittero, besides seeing everything worth looking at, by availing himself of the practical wisdom, springing out of experience, in these pages. The book is no hasty compilation, but every line of it original, and, to our own knowledge, (for he did us the compliment of consulting us on its plan end substance before eorumeneement and during the progress of its execution,) Mr, Fetridge has been nearly three years engaged in writing it, having .previously made several tours over the ground he describes, to obtain full personal knowledge of everything. One thing we recommend to persons preparing to go to Europe and the East—let them consult this Iland•book as to elothing. route, travelling ex penses, and such material points. CHATEAURRIAND'S GENIUS OF CHRISTIANITY. —MurpbY & Ben, DaltiMons, have brought out (l vol. large 12mo, pp. 784) a new, handsome, and cheap edition of Chateaubriand's remarkable work. This is the fourth revised edition, with a preface, bloaraphz, and eoplotta appeildix of crttical and explanatory notes, by the Rev. Dr. C. J. White. It has been newly and fully translated, without any omission or alteration, _Nearly half a century ego. the first English translation, by the late Mr. Frederick Shoberl, was published in London; well. executed, but, from the translator's ultra Protestant feeling, very unfaithful, inasmuch as the most striking arguments in favor of Catholicity were wholly omitted. The edition before us contains nearly one hundred pages of this valuable and interesting suppressed matter. The "GSnie du Cbristianisme," published in 1802, at the time when Napoleon, as a matter of State policy, was endeavoring to turn the mind of France from infi delity to religious faith, at once established its writer's fame. It, was, indeed, the fruit of a re action in his own mind, the death of his mother having affected it so much as to lead hint from scepticism to- belief. His own words were, " I wept and I believed." The book sensibly touched Napoleon's imagination and assisted him in rebuild ing the altar In Prance. It is not alone poetical and brilliant, but has a wide range of subject, with illustrations drawn from Nature. Art, Science, and literature. It does indeed set r9r;ll the Spirit and beauty of the Christian religion. WESTCOTT'S STUDY OF THE GOSPELS.—GouId and Lincoln, Boston, have published (I vol. hum% 12mo, pp. 476) the (( Introduction to the Spirit of the Gospel, with historical and explanatory notes," by Brooke Foss Westeott, formerly Fellow of Trini ty College, Cambridge, and now one of the Masters of Harrow School, and author of a ' , History of the New Testament Canon." To this American edition is prefixed an Introduction by Horatio B. Hackett, D. 11_, Professor ie Newton Theological InstlL anon; which Introduction, being rather a labored eulo gy than a clear criticism, might have been advan tageously omitted. Of the work itself we can speak Melly. II occupies a place between tne books which endeavor to prove the complete Mir mony of the Gospels, and those which consider it of mall importance. Let those whose faith has been shaken by such writings as Strauss's ' , Life of Jesus," read three chapters here and their disbe lief -will be broken :—these are chapters ILL on the Origin of the Gospels•; IV, on the Clharecteristics of the Gospels, and VIII, on the Difficulties of the Gospels. In the Appendix are some curious facts on some of Apocryphal Gospels, and ingenious Classifications of the Gospel Miracles and Para bles. The Index is so brief that we aro justified in describing it as, next to Dr. Hackett's meagre in troduction, the weakest part of the volume. TILE CLIANNINGS.—The whole of the unusually large edition of this novel published by Peterson arid Brothers baying boen exhausted, a new edition bee just been issued.

No. 403 Chestnut street, we have the Illustrated Lou don News and Illustrated News of the World, 9f .Aprli 0, and the CQraltill Illitgazinc for April. There is a fine portrait of Mr. George Peabody in the former, with numerous original views of the American War by Frank Visitelly, and Egypt by Frank Dillon- The other pictorial gives" a splendid portrait, on steel, of Sims Reeves, the best En glish tenor. There has lately been some delay, here and in New York, in the delivery of the British pictorial and literary journals, bat the fault does not rest with any vendor in this city. The supply here is generally received from Willmar Rogers, the wholesale agents and importers of New York, whose stook has been seized, several time, of late on a charge of containing books, which should pay a higher duty than wienripars. This will probably turn out seriously for the New York agents, and has materially Inconvenienced enbscri hers and purchasers here. The Conziall Maga zine, containing Thackeray's editorial valedictory, which we published some days ago, ales has addi tional chapters a the Adventuresof Philip, and, as a Roundabout Paper, the opening of " The Notch on the Axe," also by Thackeray, apparently a quiz upon Dickens' Great Expectations. The other articles, more or less readable, are The Brain and its Use, Firedamp and its Victims, a Fit of Jealousy, Inner Life of a Hospital, First Beginnings, On Growing Old, and an illustrated poem called "Irene." Water MR, EDITOR: Permit me, through the columns of your widely circulated journal, to call the attention of the " proper authorities " to the want of a suf ficient supply of water which exists in Frankford, Twenty-third ward. The water furnished us is drawn from the Delaware at a point near where Gunner's Run empties the accumulated foulness of dye works, poudrette establishments, and in the beat of summer nig reacler9 egg readily imagine with what delightful sensations we quaff this nec tar, which is dealt out to us as sparingly as though it were precious as diamonds. Many of the inhabi tants of Frankford have been deterred from intro ducing the pipes into their houses owing to the fact that during the time when most needed the supply fails. After an early hour in the morning it is im possible to draw water for service in bath-rooms, and, in feet, upon the ground floors of our houses we oftentimes have no water from moon o'clock in the morning until six in the evening. If a full supply of good water could at all times be obtained, I have no doubt that many persons would introduce it into their houses and a revenue be thereby created for the city, whereas, the quantity now used does not pay the interest upon the coat of laying the pipes. Those who use the water are called upon to pay for that which they do not receive. This is manifestly unjust, and should at once be remedied. If OSURZAIS deslFe the Citizens or Frankford to use the water more generally, they must give us a bet ter article, and more of it. During the days of our Borough Council, in gold lang syne," Public Pumps " were located at various points through our streets, to supply our engines in time of fire. These pumps have been suffered to get out of repair under the delusion that, after the introduction of the water pipe; they would no longer be needed. We are now, often times, for as many as ten hours at a tints, without any water above the rise on Main street, at the lower end of Frankford. Yoa eau easily perceive, Mr. Editor, that a wide-reread destruction of pro perty might at any time occur, and our firemen be compelled to stand idly by, and witness the cecina. graben, without being able co rimdor any assistance. These evils require a prompt remedy. If we can not have better water, let us, at least, be furnished With a better supply. If the basin at Kensington will not contain a sufficient quantity to supply us at all times, let its capacity be increased by the ad dition of seven or eight feet, and the money will be well spent, Boping, Mr. Editor, that this canes of complaint may speedily be removed, I am yours, respectfully, FRAPNV9II9I April 39, Mt Foarficrvilv, THE CAPTURE OF NEW ORLEANS, FURTHER.
