THE DAILY EVENING 1EL1GEAPH. PniLADELPUIA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 18GG. LITERATURE. : REVIEW )F NEW BOOKS. Battle Tieces. Dy Herman Mel Tillc. New York : Harper & Brothers.- J. B. Llppincott & Co.: Philadelphia Agents. Mr. Herman MelriUe has not been heard from for several yean. Some time since his etorlcs of adventures attracted considerable attention, and wo i him no small fame as a teller of such tales as delighted our boys. He now appears before the world in the charac ter of a poet. Ills baU'.e pieces belong ta that claps of rhyme which have of late more than overflowed our country, and any new contributions muslb3 recommended by some special exceilence to be welcome. Melville has no special excellence. His conceptions of a battle are extremely vague, and the move ment of an army to right or lett depended principally upon whether the preceding line ended With "bright" or "cleft." In his obe dience to the established rules of metre, he rivals the renpect paid to law by gipsies. To show bis total disregard to the proper num bcr of feet, we quote at random some verses: Thp elooray huHs, iu armor crim, Like clouds o'er moon have met, And prove tb U oaV, end iron, and man Are toutjh in rirjie -et. But Bplendora wane. The Ba-S?ht yields No Irr.nt 01 old display; The giirnUure emblazonment, And htrnifiiy all riecay. Towerini anr in partli? liiht, The th'ct.i life Albioj's i'oMands shine Tne fiill-autkil fleets, the shrouded show 01 ships oi-t'jrvi'.ne. On scanning the lines, their glaring errors become appuent. Again, on page 31, we find a poem which is entitled the "Stone Fleet," but which is obscured by doubtful expressions : I have a Iceling lor thoa ships, Kiica worn :nd fticienr one, With pre.it I). air" bows, aai broad inthe beam: Ay, it vfii unKmdly done. r.u' bo they -.e.'ve the Obsolete Even o. Stone Fleet ! The metre is sacrificed in the fourth line; and will the author be good enough to ex. plain what he means by "serving the obsolete ?" But Irom what we have said, it must not Se inferred that the collection is totally desti. He of true poet'c 'celtng. In mauy oi the es we come upon the delicata fancy which trty belongs to the Muse. We Instance the folltynij description of the rising in the sprit, ol 1801 :- Sthe winter died desn.iirinGr, Aid the we-. r.y weeks ot Ltit; Anuihe ico lioiiii'l rivers tnel.en, n toml of lalth was rent. Oh, t,p nsiuw of ihe t'eo;)le Caup wirh cprm'Tin1? ol the grass, They rboiindcrt "oru tlejectiou Aitpr Kater came to ens. And theyoung were all elation flouring Sumter's ci.anou roar, And they tboii'i it how tame tho nation In the ae that weat beiore. The poem on "The Martyr" is not a bad enort, but it is written in a metre which navors rather of a roundelay than a dirge. IDC first VPrm loorla Good Friday was the day Of the preilv?v and crime, When they killed hira in his pity, When ttiey killed him iu his prime Of clemeicy and calm When wit'i yeurain? he was rilled To redeem the evil-willed. And, thojq'a eomipror, be kind; But they killed him in his kindness, In their madiicjs and thcr blindness, And they killed him iiom behind. There i Bobbins' of the strong, And a pall upon the lurid; But the people in their weeping U..re the iron hand: Beware the peoole weeping When they bare the iron hand. But by far the best poem in the book, and one which, oi itself, is sufficient to eancel many of the defects of the others, is the one which treats of Sherman's march. It lias acquired considerable popularity, and our readers will doubtless remember it by the commencement : Not Kcnesaw high-arching, Nor Allatoona's glen Though there the praves lie parching Stayed Sherman's miles of men; From charred Atlanta marching They launched the sword aiuiu. The eolumns streamed like riven Which in their course asree. And they streamed unlil their Hashing met tue npnint oi tne sea: It was ulorious glad marching, xum uiuicntDtr, 10 ids sea. The measure, that of Lord Macaulay's ''Horatius," is admirably suited to such a description, and the whole poem is full of Are. The wcrk is neatly bound, and should be placed side by side with those ol its contem poraries which treat of the same topic. Ten jears from now is will recall the fire of the days which tried men's souls. The history of a successful piece of lite rary thievery has been given to the world by M. Leopold Delisle, in some, "Observations on the Origin of Several Manuscripts in the Col lection of M. Barrois." In the famous library at Ashburnham Place, Susses, is a collection of 702 manuscripts, formed by M. J. Barroi, and purchased by Lord Ashburnham in 1842, M. Bairois died in 1855, and a sketch of (his life was printed in the Bulletin of the Societe de I'Histoire de France for 1856. Ashburnham Place is out ol the way, and not often visited by literary inquirers. Lately, however, M. Paul Meyer, of the Eibllotheque Imperlale, was admitted there, and wfo presented with a copy of the catalogue of the collection. His friend, M. Delisle, borrowed this catalogue, and on reading it over was struck with the similarity of names and subjects to those of a quantity of manuscripts which were 6tolen iiom the library, now the Bibliotheque Impei iale, about twenty-five or thirty years ago. Pursuing his Inquiries, he found that thirty-three of the most valuable volumes of which the Bibliotheque was plun dered had been picked up by M. Bairois, and were now in the Ashburnham collection Some of them were in their original condition, but mc of them were cut to pieces and re bound by the plunderers, so as to multiply the apparent number of manuscripts. It is a satisfaction 'to 'know that many vaiaaDie manuscripts are still within the reach of his . . . . . torical Inquirers, and are in such Intelligent keeping as that of Lord Ashburnhatn, who seems to have deserved no blame in tne matter. Libraries should be more on their guard, and publish instead of conceal their losses. If they communicated to each other and to book collectors on account ot their marks and sizes, of which they should use plenty, such losses would be less (requent, and the books could not be sold without de tection. ' Alurtlier search among Washington Ir- vlng's papers has brought out several unpub lished manuscripts on Spanish subjects. These are to be issued soon by Messrs. flurd & Houghton, in two volumes, under the editorship of Mr. Pierre M. Irving. The unpublished papers are "The Legend of Don Roderick," "Legend of Count Julian and his Family," "The Legend of Telayo," "Abde- nahman, the Founder of the Dynasty of the Ommlades in Spain," "Chronicle of Fernin Gonzalez, Count of Castile," "Chronicles of Fernando the Saint," and ' Spanish Romance." To these are added the "Letters of Jonathan Oldstyle, Gent.," and various biographical sketches and reviews that have not hitherto been collected, but which will be welcome in thcr present form to all who read and admire Irving. They have a way of suspending publica tions in Russia as they have in France, when they become obnoxious to the Government, the latest victims In the former country being the Cozremcnik (Contemporary) and the Eusskoe Slovo (Russian Word), which were suppressed on the ground that their articles were subversive of law and social order, and inimical to religion and good morals. As the leading writers of Russia contributed to thoir pages, and as most Russian novels appear their first, the extinction of these reviews is a loss to Russian literature. Mies Agnes Strickland, who seoms to have written the lives of all the royal per sonages of England, has recently laid violent hands on the seven bishops who were thrown into the Tower by Jeffreys, under James II. Thev have olten been written about before. these bishops, and never worse, but generally better than by Miss Strickland, who lacks the first requisite of a historian ca mness. She is as spiteful against those whom she dislikes as an aged spinster when the character of an absent and handsome friend is in question. Hon. George P. March's articles in the Nation, on the "Construction of the English Toncue." are attracting deserved attention on both sides of the Atlantic. The Ration is one of the best periodicals in its way which we have, rjosublv because it has no rival in its peculiar, and very acceptable field se lected. Mr. Lewis Gidley has lately translated . in n measure which is described as being a five line stanza ot trochaic tetrameter, with a trochaic dimcter-hypereatalectic. 'Thcebus, what a name 1" Ihe Hound Table ot the present week groans over the "scarcity ot clergymen." Bet3 are being freely made as to what will be the Dext subject of complaint. A Letter from Miss M. E. ltraridon. To the Editor of ihe Hound Table Sir: I have been lavoicd with a copy of your Journal lor July 14, 1SGU. in it 1 perceive that you re view, as written by rce, a novel entitled "What is this Mystery?" published in New Yort by Messrs. Hilton & Co. Allow me to say, in reply to jour most illiberal criticism, that I never wrote a novel wnn tne ime given, arm mal i have never had any correspondence with Its publishers, who, nevertheless, announce their book as printed .'roru my "advance sheets," and who alto cniuaeterize ine woik as -miss urau don's latest ani best." It may Ce-rl nope u is not n acconianee with American notions of literaiy fair dealing to niake those po'.itively lalse statements, juetsrs. rniton cc no. may cm live protlt Irom them; but the true interests of literature and its commerce cannot be served by isuch audacious mendacity. - 1 trunt the day will never come when English publwhers Bhali fall into imitation ol the course pursued by Messrs. Hilton & Co., in the publi cation of "What is this Mystery ? A Novel, by Mis? M. E. Br; drlou." Doubtless It would te a "em art" speculation to appropriate any anony mous trash, label it with the name of an Ameri can writer of repute, then announce it as printed Irom b' or ner "acivance sneers," unci pun in into circulation as the "latest and best" of that writer's productions, when tne verbiace, so issued, is neither the "latest" nor the "best," out is ab.'oiutelv tne verv reverse or wnat it pieteuds to be. But should such tradimr ever arUein Eneland, then, perhaps, Americnnstate3- nien will see the urgent necessity for an inter national copyright, to protect the characters oi American wi iters from the outrageous dishon esty into which unrestrained literary piracy can degeneiate. For the present, the reputation of every English writer is at the mercy of aiy American puoiisner; ana wnue tnis unnappy state of thii es continues vnrec m-ocated, I sup pose It will last, however much its continuance may demoralize tne commerce ot literature, ana However niucn u may encourage uownrignt knavery. Let me add mat literary crnirism, as a cor rective influence, is not advanced by personali ties; and that it is insultius to un author and unfair m iisell to assume, as you do when re view ine "Wh.it is this Mystery ?'' that "her (the author) creations were tho result ol the medi tations and inspirations ot a milliner's f-hop." This remark Is simply impertinent, and it is only as true as may be the assertion that the review in which it appears is the result oi tho medita tions ami inspirations of a taiioi 's shop; tftousjh why pood and w holesome "meditations an 1 in spirations" should be tnreign to millineri' and tailors' shops 1 uiu at a loss to discover. More over, oflensive criticism will ratner deter than tncourage literary aspirants always a very si nsitive race for vrhobe advent you insert, in the same number of toe Hound Table, an elabo rate demand. 1 have the nonor to be, sir, your most obedient servnut, M.

Atvrrauk Wittnn Gen'lemcn I On Thursday night, the 29th day ol March, a gang 0' bnrgliirs visited our manufactory, which Is situated In an unfrequented place, near the lake, and made a desperate attempt to open the Lima's Safe you recently sold us. which, however, rest ted all tnelr e (Torts The safe bore marks 01 heavy sledging, but without any effect npon the chilled Iron door. The dial of the lock was entirely destroyed, and will require to be replaced by new one. Their most determined efforts seemed to be In tbe uso of carefully prepared thin teel wedgea. twenty of which were driven around the edge ot tbe door, but did not disturb the lasteulngs of tbe sale in the least. Although we bought this as one ot your common Mercantile Sales, we regard this severe test sufficient to prove It equal to any Burglar proof that can be made, and woithy to be confided In undor any circumstances.
