In this utory MiB Douglas Las givea no
new Ideas to the world. Judging from the
Ityle of the nairatiTe, and from thi majority
Of the quotations which head the chapters,
we should imsglDe that the was a student and
admirer of what is known as the 'ppasniolio"
School of literature a school which still ap
pears to Lave a strange fascination for a cer
tain olass of writers, although it never had a
healthy life; and many of the works qnoted
by Miss Douglas have almost been forgotten by
the general reader, and are only remembered
as cariosities by the litifrateur. The leading
characters in "Sydnie Adrianoe" do not im
press us us studies from life by a keau ob
server of men aud manners, but rather as the
reproduction of conventional types that we
Lave met with frequently in a somewhat ex
tended course of fiction reading, and which
rnsy be traced back to Charlotte Rron.v'ft
really great novel of "Jane Eyre." It would
be a matter of cuilons speculation to estimate
Low maDy writers lady writers espscially
Lave, consciously or unconsciously, imitated
this work.
The hero of Miss Douglas' story is one of
those mysterious, unfathomable men who
make the heroine uncomfortable by studying
Ler with Bteely grey eyes, which look into her
very soul; who have no sympathies with any
of the little social nothingnesses which make
life pleasant; whose cold-blooded sarcasm and
irony, which we should take to be evidences
of biliousness rather than higb-mindedness, are
Tented on all occasions, opportunely or inop
portunely; and who, to crown Lis
offenses, makes the young lady do all the '
courting, and almoBt forces Ler to pop the
question. A thoroughly disagreeable fellow
is this St. John, to our fancy, and one with
Whom we would not defcire to be intimately
acquainted, although Le appears to be a pet
of the author, who makes her heroine finally
yield to his influences and throw herself into
his arms. Sydnie Adriance, too, has an
air of mystery about her which
her friends and acquaintances cannot
fathom, and she is attracted to St. John by an
elective affinity which renders resistance on
her part in vain; but, taking her all in all, she
is a rather attractive young lady than other
wise. "Eydnie Adriance" is a cleverly written
story, and in many respects it indicates a de
cided advance over the previous works of the
author. Miss Donglas, however, would pro
duce something better entitled to commenda
tion if she would forget her books for a while,
and endeavor to study the scenes and char
acters of the busy everyday life around her.
These will afford abundant subjects for the
exercise of her talents; and whatever defici
encies may be exhibited in comparison with
the works of the best writers, such studies
will possess more real value than any imita
tions that she will ever be able to produce.
From John E. Totter & Co., Nos. 615 and
C17 Sansom street, we have received "lira.
Partington's Knitting Work," a new edition
of a book that achieved no inoonsiderable
amount of popularity when it was first
published several years ago. Mrs. Parting
ton was a hit not of a season but of many
seasons, and that she still lives, as garrulous
and as genial an old lady as ever, we judge
from the oracular utterances ascribed to her
which we continually meet with in the
corners of the newspapers. In the volume
before us we have the best of the
Partingtonian sayings and doings, in a conve
nient shape for reference; and open it where
We will, there can be found something to raise
a pleasant smile and to annuo an odd half
hour or so, such as comes to the busiest men
in the midst of the busiest seasons, sometimes.
The book is illustrated by Iioppin's designs,
which admirably hit off the different char
acters. The same house sends us "Five Hundred
Employments Adapted to Women," by Vir
ginia Penny. The question of women's work
and wages is increasing in importance every
day, and anything that is likely to open new
fields of remunerative employment to tie
Weaker sex is worthy of encouragement. Miss
Penny has given a list of industrial pursuits
in which women have been, are, or might
be engaged, with estimates of the
rates of wages. Many of the employ
ments indicated are not likely to
be adopted by women except in rare in
stances, but it was just as well to make the
list as full as possible, if for no other reason
than to encourage the despairing by showing
what women have done already in occupations
jnany of which are generally supposed to be
monopolized by men. The estimates of wage3
are based on ante-bellum rates, and are
not, therefore, altogether reliable at the
present time; but the book will,
we think, afford some useful hints
to those women who are anxious to find some
honorable and remunerative means of earning
their own living. The necessity for the thorough
education of women in the branches of indus
try which they may be disposed to adopt
should be insisted upon in all works of th'S
kind and in all essays on this subject, for
without such education the women-workers
will always compel with the men at a disad
vantage. "Talks about Adam and his Family" is a
little work published by the Auierioan Sun
day School Union, the title of whUjh is suffi
ciently indicative of the nature of its contents.
It will be a matter of regret with book
buyers that the name of Tloknor At Fields will
henceforth disappear from the title-pages of
some of the choicest works published in
America. The Aria has been dissolved by the
retirement of Mr. II. M. Ticknor. The re
maining partners, Messrs. James T. Fields
and James It. Osgood, have associated with
them Mr. John 8. Clark, and they will carry
b the publishing business of the old firm
aider the title of Fields, Osgood & Co.

LIBERIA.
Inlcrrftt Iiik Ktnt-tM-.4. of IrekHiil
ltOlMM'1.
Recently, at the Old John Street MUi.ltit
Epiffopal Church, Nw rork, the Hon. Jo
eph J. Roberts, who was for fight year I're
sidfijt of Liberia, made gome interesting s'atn-mt-nts
in regard to the hiittoiyaud coudiilo.i
of that republic. He paid that the idea of a
colony of emancipated slaves aud free uxgioea,
to tft established on the African coast, origi
nated with hobert Finley aud othrs, early iu
the preFtnt century. Mecsri. Mill aud Uur
gets were sent out by tbem to flic upon thu
Bite. They firtt went to Loudon, aud ufter
consultation with Clarkson aud Wilberforoe
Eettlrd upon Sierra jone. Ttie ..rut ship
sailed troui New Vork inthewiutrof lull) -'JO,
and the colonists lirat landed in Sierra I one,
but finding they were not cordially received by
there iu power there, they established them
selves at Cape Mesnrado. The obj-toU held la
view by tbone who projected the enterprise
were four, nauielj : First, to establish an asy
lum for the free negroes of the United States;
Second, to test the capacity of the negro for
telf government; tbinl, to check the slave
trade; aud foNitli, to carry civilization iuto
Anita. After the ill success of the colonidH
in Sierra Ltcue, they derived tuuuli be u. tit
from the advice of Commodore Stockton, then
a naval officer in com maud of a vessel on the
African coast, who recommended Cape M,.-tu,-rado
as an enable seat for their future repub
lic At this place there was a large slave
mart. The strangers were at first received
with fritndhip, but the slave traders soon
incited the natives to hostilities against then.
In November, lti.0, they were attacked by
lfiOO of there savages. Ouly 115 Rtrong, they
succeeded in repuhiug this formidable Dani.
They afterwaicH Butcjssfully warded off the
attack of a Biill more numerous force. The
Africans, incited by the slave traders,
then called on Kicg Bosun, the most
powerful chief of that region, to come
down and assist them, lie came down
to the coast, bnt as they could not satisfy him
that tbe Americans had done them auy iujury,
he refused to interfere. It may be remarked
that the sister of this monarch was one of the
iirht converts to Chrirtianity. The colonists
did not for several years set up au independent
government, but, at length, difficulties having
arisen out of the iefu.-al of British traders to
pay duties on gemls imported into the terri
tory which the colonisis had bonght, the con
nection between Liberia and the American
Colonization Society w.n severed, and the Re
pnblic of I iberia established a Government,
which ban been recognized by fourteen of the
nations of the civilized world. The four
objects of the originators of the enterprise
bave not proved to be visionary. Liberia did
and still does famish an asylum for auy who
choose to avail themselves of its ad
vantages. It Las shown the capacity
of tbe African race for Eelf-goveru-ment.
It has been efficient in repress
ing the slave traffic Years ago the (Imm
inent broke up all the barracoons along its
six hundred miles of coast, and has never
allowed any to be established there sinoe. It
has had at least some civilizing inlluenoes.
More than two thousand slaves taken out of
the holds of slave ship3 have been taught the
arts of civilized life and turned into good
citizens. Moreover, the chiefs aud head men
of the surrounding tribes are now anxious to
send their children, that they may grow up
under the civilizing icnueucnsof the Christian
republic. Although these chiefs have nothing
to pay, the people of Liberia receive their
children, and hundreds of them are constantly
residing amoDg their more cultivated brethren.
As to religion, though there are but two or
three white missionaries, there are between 40
and 50 churches, nearly half of which are
Methodist.
The Rev. John Snis, American Minister,
resident and Consul-General to Liberia, fol
lowed President Roberts, and gave a very in
teresting account of the progress of religion
among tbe native Africans. Of the four Pre
sidents of Liberia, three have beu Methodist s
and two Methodist clergymen. The Methodist
Bishop of Liberia is a brother of President
Roberts. Over four hundred converts from
the natives have been made by the Methodist
Church alone, three hundred of whom are at
present full members of that communion.
In response to inquiries, President Roberts
Stated that Liberia was deficient in the means
of education. They Lad some well-educated
men among them, but there was such a defi
ciency of capital as to make it impossible for
their college and schools to meet all the de
mands which were made upon them. As the
richest chief was he who had the greatest
number of wives aud slaves, and the natives
were utterly barbarous, the Liberians were
obliged to take the children which were sent
to them and bring them up for nothing, and
he was sorry to say that in some cases they
had been obliged to refuse applications. The
college, of which Mr. Roberts is now the
President, had a grand field, but was ham
pered by poverty. The population of Liberia
was stated by Pres'dent Roberts to be about
COO.OOO, of whom from 15,000 to 18,000 were
American negroes. It is extremely to be re
gretted thtt the unfavorable weather pre
vented a full attendance at this interesting
meeting.

Mr. J. Payne Collier writeB:
"After some consideration I have deter
mined to make a pause in the issue of my
series of fifty reprints in what I have called
my 'Blue Series.' It has included seven poeti
cal miscellanies, beginning with the only
known first edition of Tottell's 'Songes and
Sonettes,' 1557; and my intention was to con
tinue them by the earliest impressions of the
productions of our most famous poets such,
for instance, as Daniel and Drayton,
whose poems, as originally published, were
in all respects different from the form
they afterwards assumed. Whatever may
be the case with my subscribers (so to call
them), the publio has given me sufficient en
couragement whenever an opportunity has
occurred; because a complete set of my repro
ductions only a short time sinoe produced at
auction more than double the money they had
cost a dead recipient; and a day or two ago in
Glasgow my repiiutof 'Tottell's Miscellany'
alone was Bold in the same way for triple the
amount I obtained for it, charging, as I inva
riably do, no more than the cost of print,
paper, and transcript nay, in not a few in
stances, having had the transoripts made
several years ago, I willingly made them a
present to my friends; so that, in fact, in those
instances they paid merely for print and
paper."
Mr. Collier describes his financial difficulties,
and adds that it was his intention to follow up
the " Blue Series" of the ancient English
poetioal miscellanies by a reprint of Church
yard's " ChlppeB," (an author who began
writing in the reign or uaward VI, ana con
tinned to write until after James I had as
cended the throne.) For the same pecuniary
reason he is unable to give the singular "flyt
ing" between Churchyard and Camell, of the
conclusion of wnioh he is in possession of the
sole existing copy; and his Intended reproduc
tion of the original editions of the works of
such great poets as Daniel, Drayton, Chap
man, Marston, etc, must also be relinquished,
lie continues: "I cannot consent to be X3
or X4 out ol pocket by every Blue Hook I
proiluiie. My 'Yellow Series' I sUjII iioti'.lu'i
an long as I am permitted; bnt even a uoo
the reoiplttit.it of tlicpe rare, most aunnlo fttvt
very intcrnilng traols, I find sotnu limit itors,
although I tniuidh for a In ehillings whit no

A curious moral obliquity in the adminis
tration of the local Kuglith Government at
IIong-Korg is revealed in a recent memorial
presented to the Duke of Buckingham by tli4
Indian Committee of the British Asaocutiou
for the Promotion of Sooial Science.
This memorial is long and miuute, but the
main facts presented are these:
"It appears from tbe papers presonted in
March last, by the Queen's command, that
the local authorities in Heligoland had, at
different times in the years 1850, 1S57, anl
1858, granted or confirmed to two oommon
gambling-house keepers in succession (native
of Frank lort and Cassel), in consideration of
the yearly payment of eight thousaud thalers I
. .1 . L 1 ..a A 11. . - . . 1 1 - M
in aim bucjeci to me approval oi ner
Mtjesty's Government, the privilege of the
gambling establishment, or exclusive right to
the pames of hazard in Bali island
of Heligoland, till January 1, 1871;
that thoce concessions are still in full
operation; that the local authorities in the
other colony, that of Hong Koug, had, so
recently as the summer of 1SGG', taken upon
themselves to pass an 'ordinance,' by which
all existing laws in restraint of publio gaming
there were to be deemed repealed, and thy
themselves enabled 'from time to time to
frame and pass suoh rules, regulations, and
conditions as might be deemed expedient for
the better limitation aud control of gaming iu
that colony;' that those provisions hae been
acted on ever since, and with such effeot that
there are now existing at Hong Kong, under
the royal license, twelve public gamiui-houses,
managed by a gambling firm, out of the pro
fits whereof a Bum of nearly two hundred
thousand dol'ars yearly is received by the
local authorities."
The memorial goes on to represent that
"with respect to Hong Kong the Gaming
Farm appears to have been carried into effeot
by tbe local authorities after her Majesty's
Imperial Government had o'early expressed
their disapproval of it, and their determina
tion not to accept a revenue raised by such
means; insomuch that since the summer of
If-G6, when the first ordinance was passed,
the farm had been created by the local
authorities, put up by them to sale, and
granted to the highest bidder; the yearly
consideration money received in advance from
the farmer, and, as already mentioned, twelve
licensed gambling-bouses were Bet up by him,
and brought into active speratiou amongst the
mixed community of less than one hundred
and eighteen thousand inhabitants of both
Sexes aud of all ages, by whom that little aud
unproductive island is already over-peopled,
and where gambling was previously known
only as a crime both by Chinese aud by Bri
tish laws."
Finally, the memorial make3 the following
statements, which are corroborated by docu
ments accompanying the petition itself:
"(1.) That neither the Chinese laws and
nsages, ner the local ordinances against gam
bling, have ever been fairly put into execu
tion, nor revised with that intention; and that,
on the contrary, one most excellent ordinance
(No. G of 1857) for improving within Hong
Kong the Chinese law of the tithing, and hun
dred, and the frank-pledge, which in China
have always been found quite sufficient for the
entire suppression of the practice, was never
put in force at all from the time of its enact
ment until that of its repeal. (2.) That in
some respects the first ordinance relating to
gambliog was so ill-planned as to make it diffi
cult for any prosecutor to obtain a conviotion.
(3.) That the present governor has reported
that when he came to the colony two years ago
the local police were the least effective aud
most corrupt body of police whom he had ever
Eeen. (4.) That their pay being very scanty,
and the nominal part of the informer in the
mulct levied on gamblers not being allowed to
police informers at Hong Kong, they were the
more open to the bribes which the gambling
houses offered."
The petition concludes with the usual prayer
for the reform of these abuses.
In the course of this document, moreover,
occurs tbe following paragraph, which reveals
the fact that the gambling licenses are not the
only nor even the worst features of the Brit
ish Government in China. The petitioners
say that "they cannot conclude these last
observations without deploring that the
Quetn's sanction was ever given to the two
precedents which appear to be relied on in
favor of the Gambling Farm, that is to say,
the Brothels Linoense act of 1857, and the
Opium Shops Farm of 1858, measures to
which the objections are so patent as to need
no exposition here. And they are pained to
see that the great spread during the year 1867
of the debauchery, or, as it is called, 'the
trade of the Opium Farm,' is even made a
subject of gratulation in the Registrar-General's
report for that year already cited."
