'Ilie Memoirs of Mad.'ime ReVamier, reputed the most beautiful woman of her time, ex tended from the last day of tho old monan-liy of Fra in e, through tin; Involution, under tho First Consulate, under the Empire, and finally l u ring the entire restoration, with Louis XVIII and Charles X on tho throne. Covering as they do more than a half century of the most interesting portion of the history of France, and introducing us to all tho prominent actors on the political stage, they cannot fail to ho re. reived with pleasure hy all who feci that timo is-well spent in contemplating tho secret springs of the actions of the great. Madam' IK'camier was the iutimato fricud of nearly all tho prominent actor in tho Kuropean drama, and her correspondence, which comprises tho great body of the work, cannot fail to throw light upon tho actions of those with whoso names we are all familiar. Hie was tho intimate of Madame lie Stai'-l, Hoi tense Heauharnais, tho Puchess of Devonshire, and all that galaxy if female wit and beauty that centred around the Court of France. She was tho cvnj'ulnnte of Alontmoiein-y, Chateaubriand, Talma, Lucien .Napoleon, Fouche, , and all the diplomatic corps of France and Germany. With such associations, and keep ing tip a constant correspondence with hor friends, she naturally leaves a vast collection of letters which are of deep interest. l!y means of this correspondence we are taken behind the scenes, and enabled to see the jetty quarrels which decided the fate of minis ters and even of crowns. The work is, conse quently, extremely readable. In regard to tho light thrown on the character of Madame Kucamier, wo cannot value highly tho "Memoirs." The translation, it seems to us, is rather too literal. While tho author continually assures us of the purity of the heroine, yet the letters published from a dozen diil'orent gentlemen must either have been written without the words meaning what they do when translated, or else tho boasted virtue seems rather apocryphal. Madame Kccamier lived, notwithstanding her tumultu ous life", to the ripe age of seventy-two, and expired peacefully In lbi'J. Tho "Memoirs" are written by her niece and adopted daugh ter, Madame Lenorinant. While- tho Litters received by Madame Kccamier aro given in full, yet it is noticeable that none of her lot :ors in reply are published. This deprives us of tho main material for a memoir, and makes ' the work rather a political history than pu rely a life of tho ijueen of Parisian beauties. The Markkt Assistant, By Thomas l)o Voe. New York: llurd & Houghton. We generally distrust any work which pro tends to bo a complete guide to marketing, for, as a rule, experience is the only useful assist ant in tho purchase of food. So far as any book gives directions in regard to the parts of an anatomical structure, and teaches the art of carving, wo valuo it. When, how ever, it claims to enable a novice to distinguish tender and tough beef, and other refined niceties, we lose all faith in its value. The work of Mr. De Voe is, in this view, both good and bad. It goes too much into detail and anecdote, and thus gets beyond the proper province of a market book; but when it gives hiniplo directions, and with well-drawn diagrams explains the anatomy of beeves and fowls, it is a valuable work. It is not a cook-book, but treats of that part of house keeping which precedes the culinary. It is neatly bound, and printed in clear, large type. A Complete Manual ok Knolisu Liti ha-ti-rk. Bv Thomas B. Shuw. M. A. Edited t.v William Smith, LL. P., with a sketch of American Literature, tiy neury T. Tucker man. New York: Sheldon & Co. A work with the pretentious title of a "Com plete Manual of Fnglish Literature" must con tain a great deal, ami must possess more than ordinary merit to fulfil the expectations of the reader. We are glad to say that the volume Lefore us comes nearer to a compilation mch as we should desire than any we have seen. It is intended as a text-book for schools, and contains the elements of English standard literature. It is divided into three parts: Tho first, English of which Robert of Gloucester isMhe type; the second, of which Chaucer is the best example; and the more modern, which familiar to us all. The authors principally dwelt upon, after a sketch of the rise of tho l&iglfah tongue and the earlier writers, are Addison, Spencer, Scott, and Thackeray. Tho whole work is as valuable an addition to text hooks as we have noticed since the appearance f "Chambers' Encyclopedia." It is bound for service, and, although only a modium tsized volume, contains an immense amount of matter. THE DAILY EVENING TELKGliAril. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, Vfnktian liiFK. By W. D. Unwell. New York: llurd A IIoui;hton. Second Edition. When Mr. Howell's work first appeared, we noticed its merits with favor. It is pleasantly written, and abounds in anecdotes, directions, and pleasant gossiping reminiscent irs. We shall, therefore, call attention now only to the additions made in the recent issue. We notice, first, the presence of a well-w ritten though by no means exhaustive chapter on "Holidays," which directs attention to the customs on which the Italians found their chief delight. A comparison is instituted between the former and present condition of Venice as a commercial port. Some interesting and reliable data on tho subject of trade are afforded ' us. These, with the index, are the only alterations made by the author. He has descriptive powers of a high order, and' has evidently felt a deep interest in his subject. One-third of success is achieved as soon as the subject is mastered by the author, and as Mr. Howell is perfectly conversant with Venice, his work may bo considered standard. Tiik Last Hays ok otm Saviour, liv Rev. Charles D. Cooper, J. B Llpnineult A: C. The Hector of St. Philip's Church has com piled the little book before us for Passion Week. It is entirely composed of extracts from tho various Gospels, arranged appro priately for each day, so that during the week tho reader may follow the events of tho lii'o of Cluistas they aro narrated by the Apostles. It claims no merit, except that it is jirojin- to the season on which we will soon enter. One Hunduki) Selections. By N. K. Richard son. A. Uiirrett & Co., No. 70;2 Chesnut street. Tho volume before us is designed for classes in elocution. It is composed of standard old pieces of poetry and oratory, with additions of such recent productions as "Sheridan's Ride," and the like. It is also enriohed by several original articles by Mr. Richardson, the com piler. It is cheaply issued, and will be found of service t students of elocution. The American Journal of Horticulture. We have received from tho publishers, Messrs. Tilton & Co., Boston, the March num ber of this new Horticultural Magazine, the success of which has thus far been remarkable. Although but yet in its third month, the pub lishers inform us that tho receipts more than meet its expenses, anil that its circulation already exceeds the number predicted by the warmest supporters of the enterprise as a good year's work. Tho publishers, in their intro duction, say: "As improvement and progress are to be our aim, we trust each month may be an improvement on tho past;" and they well redt 'em their promise. The March num ber comes before us an improvement on the February, as that was upon the January. Tho information is more varied, as well as of wider range. We had some fears, after an examina tion of the lirst two numbers, that its useful ness might bo impaired by making it, per haps, too local. The present number dispels all doubts of that nature, as its columns not only contain articles from the West and South, but promise to include every part of America. Two little volumes for children, "Zaido's Nursery Rook" and "The Children's Trea sury," have been published by T. Nelson & Sons, New York, and are for sale by J. E. Lip pincott Sc Co. They aro both admirable books for children. Tho American News Company has pub lished "Tristan," by Edward Spencer, and T. R. Callender, Third and Walnut streets, has it for sale. One of the most scholarly of Gorman peri odicals to.Iuhrbuch 'ur Jlomtinischt! uiul Jiiiilische Littaaliii; founded by Adolph Ebert and Fer dinand Wolf, and published quarterly at Leipsic. Tho special subjects to which it is devoted are the, Romanic languages and Eng lish, and its contributors are at liberty to write in any language they may choose French, Italian, Spanish, German, or English. ' Tlie last number contains tho conclusion of a col lection of the o!d popular tales of. Venice, by G. Widter, A. AVolf, and R. Kohler; a paper by M. A. llouchet on the use of atonic vowels in the Romance languages; and the text of a French romance written in 1300 as a satire against the Pope and tho clergy. This piece, "he Roman de Fauvel," is said to re semble in spirit the second part of the famous "Roman de la Rose." Tho editor of tho Jahr burli, Professor Ludwig Tenicke, reviews one of Mr. Morris' contributions to the Early Eng lish Text Society the collection of "Early English Alliterative Poems" while M. A. Scheler notices Andre van Hasselt's edition of the "Romance of Cleomadis," and proposes a series of emendations ef its text. The Countess do Roigno gives us in the form of a romance, entitled "Une Passion dans le Grande Monde, " a curious picture of the society in which she moved in the lirst few years of tho restoration of tho bourbons, and a number of clever sketches of character. Not tho least interesting part of the book is a biographical sketch of its author, by Madame Lenorinant, tho editor of tho "Correspondence of Madame K'Camier," of which Messrs. Roberts Brothers have just published a trans lation. A "ballerina" of the Modeua (Italy) Theatre, named La Rarbian, more than usually excited by the acclammations of tho public", executed a lias with a wrong calcula tion of distance, which carried her over tho footlights into the orchestra. In tho passage her dress caucbt lire from tho lamps, and sho was immediately in a blaze, which, however, was promptly extinguished by tho inusiciaus. She was carried out senseless, but was found to have sustained no serious injury, Mr. Partem' book of "Famous Ameri cans" contains his Xurlk American Heriew papers on Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Randolph, Girard, liemiett, and Goodyear; his Atlantic. article on Reedier and Plymouth Church; his sketches of Tbeodosia Burr and Astor, from JIarjnr's Maiii-lne ; and his essay on Vandor bilt, from tho New York Leiiycr. This collec tion forms one of the most enjoyable books of tho season. Tho London papers announce rather vaguely a new volume by Mr. Tennyson. It is to consist of seven songs, illustrated by Millaris, and accompanied by musio by Mr. A. H. Sullivan. 'J hey also inform us that the Laureate was lately presented to the Uueen at Osborne. 13 U O JP 13. France and noMi:.

P' ror bus always desired tho Independence of tho i.'oly See and the Independence of Italy. Kncn ol these two Interests would havo pre ferred to be the objeet or our exclusive prefer ence; but, notwithstanding the dlllinuUv of reconciling their claims, the Kmperor h:is never permitted himself to lorn tlie double care imposed upon him. To-day, Itiilv belli definitively couMltutod, tho consolidation of tho trim oral owr beconn s the principal object of our efforts, and the Holy Father lias the inllcst riit to await ilio result of tnem with conlldenee, and to Insure our success by such wise meut-un s as his conscience may so pest. Doubtless the departure of our troops will occasion the Holy Father emotions which wo can well oiiini rchend. Yet no moment could bo more favorable tor confronting the situation than Hint in which the national sentiment ln Italy was receiving such a complete satisfac tion rs that caused by the acquisition of Venctia. We lelleitate ourselvei upon tho circum stances because it was most desirable tout our occupation, a temporary measure, which pre served materially without consolidating morally, nml which could not become Indefi nite without, destroying tbe power it sought to defend, should ceaso. The Catholic world ought to know that we cheerfully adjourned so long a measure whoso nicei.slty had become manifest, ami it could not without Injustice Ignore the lact that when this necessity became Insurmountable we did what v e could lo secure to the Holy Father new and more valuable guarantees for the free and tranquil exercise ot his double sovereignty. 'J be Convention of tho l.ith of .September, despite tho ellorts made to beliltlo its import ance, attests in the highest manner our .-lu-cerity and our forecast. It v as a most dillicult tak to direct that almost ' Irresistible cuirent which seemed to (haw nil minds towards Koine. Wo nssuuieJ this dillicult task, and the selection of Florence as capital was the Urst pledge of the new policy w hich we advocated In Italy, find tho wisdom of which will continue to bo domonstrnted. Need I point out the full security which results to the l'onliilcal Government of King Victor Fmanuei to preserve inviolate, even by force, the frontier of tho Pontifical Miaios irotu exter nal Invasion, denying Itself the power to cross thcM: frontiers? W e are convinced that tho Cabinet of Flor ence, whoe reiterated promises connot be dis credited, will faithfully maintain that which V.0 expect from It. Obtaining from Italy a plcdce to assume its share of the l'oulitical ill bt, we have not only repaired an injustice, wo have also relieved the 1'apal 11 nances of a weight which was crushing them. What re mains to be done docs not depend entirely upon ourselves, but our counsels and our inllu ence will be employed without ceasing to im prove the situation. The religious 'negotiations of last year are reopened under new conditions, which, from the friendly disposition of tho Italian Govern ment, encourages us to hope for a favora ble nsu.lt. Tho return of the bishops to their dioceses will give a great satisfaction to the Holy Father, and greatly contribute to the tranquility of consciences. We do not doubt that l'ius IX will taue those steps which aro lequired by the nature of things, the oppor tuneness ol which is demonstrated. He knows our Ideas upon this subject, and that we sug gest nothing to him which cau cause him to hi sitate. or induce him to draw back from the dispositions which he has spontaneously uiani Tstcd. We believe It possible, in these conditions, to found too relation of the Holy See to its sub jects aud to the rest of Italy upon a natural and durable foundation. Inspire tho Holy Father Willi this conviction, which will give him courage to undertake t he work without delay. Tell him that the retlremeutof our troops dues not imply the abandonment of the great inte rests which for seventeen years we have guarded by our presence, and which, near or distant, we shall contrive to watch over with ent ire iiUeclion. You are authorized to leave a copy of this despatch with the Cardinal Secretary of State. (Signed) Mol'STlEU. The Jtichcst .Hun in the World. A London iournal, tho Cosmopolitan, says: The joung Lord Belgrave, grundsou of the Marquis 6l Westminster, it he lives to inherit his patrimony, will bo the richest mou in the world. When what Is now the lashionablo section of Loudon, known as Belgraviu, was but a sheep tarm, the first Marquis was leasing lots at ninety-nine years. By tho time the heir to the Westminster estates attains his majority all these leases will lapse, thereby addin? uu almost incomputable amount of ground rent to the estate. Tho present income of the property is said to be, 1000 a day; ten years hence, it will be ten or'fonty Mines this amount I The pre sent Marquis of Wct minster is about seventy two years of age. His eldest 9on tbe Earl of (irosvenor, ia about torty-seven; jmd his el Jest Foiij the young Lord Heltjrave, is about thirteen. By intermarriage this colossal lortune has not ofil.v been kept in the liimily, but multiplied in arithmetical ratio. The Marquis of Westmin ster married the Lady Elizabeth Mary Leveson Cower, second daughter of the first Duke of Sutherland. Earl Grosvenor married LaJy Constance Levesou Cower, daughter of the second Duke of Sutherland. Rich as thee piople are, we do not suppose that either the Crosveiior sons cr daughters will be likely to "marry for love," unless there is plenty of wealth to back it.

The Prince of Oraue. i& defendant in acuriou? f-uit which Is now boiore tho French law courts, M. Vanden Daele some vears since made a pood deal of money out ol a beer shop in Paris called the Saucisso d'Or. to which he attracted a large circle ol customers by telling- t-ausaires in one of which each evening waR to be found a tive-tranc piece in gold. Part of his profits be invested in an .estate in tho Ardcours. This he sold last j cur to the Prince ot Orange lor 300,000 francs, represented by bills.
