A Sea-Cattain, trading to the African coast, was invited to meet a committee of a society for the evangelization of Africa.

LITERATURE. BEVIEW OF NEW BOOKS. From Smith, English & Co. we have re--oeived "Villa Eden; The Country House on the Rhine," Tart I, and "Edelweiss," by Berthold Auerbach. Published by Roberts Brothers, Boston. The first-named work is published in pamphlet form, and the latter is one of Messrs. Roberts Brothers' very tastefal "Handy Volume" series. These are stories that we 'can heartily commend, and which every lover of good literature will heartily enjoy. . Anerbach's style is a charm of itself, and the reader is fascinated from the com mence to the end of one of his idylllo pieces. "Edelweiss" is graceful and enter taining at the opening, and it is not until the story has advanced some distance before the real purport of the anthor begins to be un folded, and the profound dramatio interest of the little homely tragedy slows how much there is below the surface. "Villa Elen" is translated by Charles O. Shackford, and it will be published in four parts. The other story, named from the Alpine plant,' "Kdel weiss," which signifies "noble purity," is translated by Ellen Frothingham. Turner Brothers & Co. send us "The Brawnville Papers." Edited by Moses Coit Tyler. Published by Fields, Osgood & Co. The editor, or rather the author, of this work is an enthusiast on the subject of physical culture, and this book is made up of a series of papers originally contributed to The Herald of Health. The subject is thrown into the form of an entertaining series of sketches, which have the merit of being amusing as well as instructive. In a playful sort of way the author has made the exploits and conversa tion of an imaginary gronp of characters the means of illustrating his ideas about a sound mind in a sound body. The same house sends us "My Ten Rod Farm, or How I Became a Florist," by Mrs Maria Gilmore. Published by Loring. This is one of Loring's useful series, and it may be described as a sequel to that very popular work, which excited the rural enthusiasm of so many city-bound readers, " Ten Acres Enough." The author tells how a great deal may be done with very small means by those who have patience, skill, and industry, and we hope the pamphlet will have a large circu lation. From Sch refer & Koradi we have reoeived a specimen part of a new edition of Callot's French-English and English-French Dic tionary. This is a standard work, and its value is well known to all who have occasion to use a French and English dictionary. A number of important improvements have been introduced into this edition, which will add greatly to its value. The dictionary will be issued in twenty-four weekly numbers, at fifteen cents a number. Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger send us the April number of the Architectural Re view, edited by 8amuel Sloan, Esq. This valuable publication is, as usual, attractive in appearance, and its table of contents pre sents a series of articles that are interesting to the amateur, as well as useful to the professional architect and builder. A number of designB for buildings, with full plans and specifications, are given. Turner Brothers & Co. send us Captain Mayne Reid's magazine, Onward, for April. The sketches, stories, and verses are of the usnal spirit-stirring character. The gallant Captain informs us that hitherto he has writ, ten each number of the magazine himself, and he could easily continue to perform the task. He is somewhat doubtful, however, whether the quality is equal to the quantity; conse quently he will hereafter secure a sufficient variety in style and substance, by alternating his owtr contributions by artioles from other writers. The Riverside Magazine for April, whloh we have reoeived from Turner Brothers & Co., opens with one of Hans Christian Anderssen's delightful sketches, entitled "Luck may lie in a pin." The other artioles are up to the usual standard of excellence, and the illustra tions are numerous and good. Published by Hnrd & Honghton. Our Schoolday Visitor for April, published by Daughaday & Becher, has an attractive variety of stories, sketches, and verses, illus trated by some spirited designs by Schell. This magazine is increasing in favor with the juveniles, and the publishers and editors are exerting themselves to make each number better than the last. . Peterson's Ladies National Magazine has for a frontispiece a steel engraving entitled "Grandfather's Pipe." A double-page, highly -colored steel fashion plate is also given, together with patterns of all kinds of needle-work, the latest fashions, eto. The stories, sketohes, and poetry are interesting, and the items of useful information about household matters will ba appreciated by many of the readers of the magazine. Re ceived from Turner Brothers & Co. From the same house we have received Our Boys and Girls for April 3 and April 27, ! edited by Oliver Optic The number for April 27 is embellished by steel portraits of Grant and Colfax. The Little Corporal for April, published i by Alfred L. Shewell & Co., Chicago, has an attractive variety of articles suited to the taBtes of young readers. Harper's Magazine for April opens with somewhat melo-dramatio but interesting arti. ole, by .Taoob Abbott, entitled "The Freaks of Lightning." Either Mr. Abbott has not done the fair thing) by the publishers, or the pub lishers have not acted ingenuously with their readers. The article in question, with all its illustrations, la taken bodily from a work published a year ago by Messrs. Sampson Low, Bon & Marston, London. It is trans lated from the Frenoh of W. De Fonvlelle by, T. L. Phipson, and Mr. Abbott is only enti tled to the credit of having strung together a series of extracts from it. The proper credit to the real authors ought to have been given as la the usnal custom when artioles of this description appoar in a magazine. Messrs. T. B. Peterson & Brothers send us "Woodstook" and "The Betrothed," two volumes of their cheap edition of the Waver ley novels. Prioe 20 cents eaoh. A CnrioMty or I.lteratnrfl." To the Editor of The IXtning Telegraph. In a recent book review you reprinted from Tttinam's for April "A Curiosity of Literature," the tenor of which was to the effect that Wolfe's ode on the burlBl of Sir John Moore was not uu original production. In support of this allearcd "fa t," evidence is given in the form of a French poem, said to have been written in commemora tion of a Bretou ofliccr who was shot in 1749, at the siege of Pondicherry, and this poem, it is said. Is to be found in the Memoirs of Lally Tollendal." Still further evidence is presented in the shape of a German poen dating "from the second half of the seventeenth century,'' and written in honor of a Swedish hero "who fell at the siege of Dantsic." These three odes being, as stated, "almost literal trainlations of each other," it la evident that all three cannot be equally original. ' To the German poem is given the palm, by Seni ority, and it is surmised that Wole stole his inspiration, almost word for word, at second hand from tho French poem. No three poems, in three idioms so distinct, could by chance so precisely coincide; but Wolfe, had he sufficient genius to make so inspiring a translation, would doubtless have had wit enough to have made greater deviation Irom the so called "original." The exactness of the triple like ness, therefore, would seem a strong presump tive evidence of a "hoax." In fact, numerous poems have, at various times, been put forward as the origlnsls of Wolfe's inspired ode; but they have been proven to be impostors. Bearing upon this point, I beg to give you an item , (originally from Notes and Queries first series, running from 184a to 1855) which I have before me in a book published by Appleton in 1857, comprising selections from the above- named London weekly. Tue article is not un interesting, particularly at this juncture: THE BURIAL OF BIB JOHN MOOBE. The undoubted author of the monody on the burial of Sir John Moore Is the late Rev. Charles Wolte, a young Irishman, curate of Donougu. more, Diocese of Armagh, who died in 1823, in the 32d year ot his age. His "Life and Re mains" were edited by the Archdeacon of Clogher; and a fifth edition of the volume, 8vo, was published in 1832, by Hamilton, Adams & Co., Paternoster Row. At the twenty-fifth page of the memoir there is the narration oi an Interesting " discus sion between Lord Byron, Shelley, and others. as to the most perfect ode that had ever Deeu produced. Shelley contended for Coleridge's on "Switzerland;" others named Campbell's "Hohenlinden" and Lord Byron's Invocation in "Manlred." .But Lord Byrou left the dinner table before the cloth was removed, and returned with a magazine, from which he read this monody, which just then appeared anony mously. After he had read it he repeated the third stanza, and pronounced it perfect, and especially the lines: But be lay like a warrior taking his rest, With tils martial cloan around aim. "I should have taken the whole," said Shelley, "for a rough sketch of Campbell's." "No," replied Lord Byron, "Campbell would have claimed it had it been his." The memoir contains tho fullest details ou the subject of the authorship, r. Wolfe's claims to which was also fully established by the Rev. Dr. Miller, late Fellow of Trinity, Dublin. It was stated in an English paper, published in France some years back, that Wolfe had taken the lines from a poem at the end of the "Memoirs oi Lally Tollendal," the French gov ernor of Pondichcrry, in 175G, and subsequently executed In 1766. In this paper tho French poem was given, professing to be a monody on Lally Tollendal and to be found in the appendix to his memoirs. It was only a clever hoax from the ready pen of "Father Prout," and first appeared in Rentley's iliscet'any. No greater proof of the lncouve. Lltnce of facetias of this peculiar nature cau be required than the circumstauce that the fiction, after a time, gets mistaken for a fact. There shortly afterwards appeared the following letter in the Courier, Wednesday, Nov. 3, 1824: ODE ON THE BURIAL OF SIR JOHN MOORE. To the Editor of the Courier: Bib. Permit me, through tlie medium of your highly respectable Journal (which I have cnosun a the channel of tills communication Irom my having been a subscriber to it lor the last fifteen years), to ob serve tbat the statement lately publisned In tbe Morning Chronicle, the writer of which ascribes the lines on the bnrlai of fcjir John Moore to Wolfe, Is lalse, and as barefaced a fabrication aa ever foisted on ihe public The lints in question were not writttn by Wolfe, nor by Bailey, nor 1b Deacoll the author, but they were composed by me. I published them originally, some years ago, In the Durbam County Advertiser, a Journal lu whloh I have at Ulll'eient times inserted several poetical tr'fles, aa the "Prisoner's Prayer to Bleep," "Linta on tbe Lamented Death of Benjamin Ualley, Ksq.," and some other little effusions. I should not, sir, have thought the lines on Sir John Moore's funeral worth ownlngs had not the false statement of the Chronicle met my eye. I can prove, by the most incontestable evidence, tbe truth of what X have asserted. Tbe first copy of ray lines was gl veu by me to my friend and relation Captain Bell, and it is In his possession at present. It agrees perfectly with the vopy now lu circulation, with ttils ex ception It does not contain tbe stanzas ooiu raenulng with "Few and short," which 1 added afterwards tit the suggestion of the Hev, Dr. Aidereonof Butlerby. i am. air. voura. tn. H. Mahhuall, M.. D. South street, Durham, Novemoer 1, lSii. This letter was a mere hoax, and was so shown to be two or three days a'ter its publi cation, by an authenticated statement that "Dr. Marshall, of South street, Durham," was ahorse doctor of dissipated lafher than literary habits, and not even a graduate of the Veterinary Col lege. He had, of course, nothing to do with the letter. Benjamin Galley, who is termed esquire iu the letter, was a poor Durbam idiot; aud by the Bev. Dr. Alderton, of Butlerby, was meant Hutchinson Aldersou, the bellman of Durham. The paragraph in the Morning Chronicle, to which Dr. Marshall's letter refers, had been inserted by John SUuey Taylor, a bosom friend of Wolfe, the author of the monody. Mr. Taylor replied to tbe Doctor's letter In Hn angry philippic, and evidently thought he was dealing with the genuine letter of a real M. D although he insinuates that be was a quack, and advises him, instead of claiming verses which do not belong to him, to oontent himself with writlnj? verses on the tombstones of his patients. It will be seen by the Doctor's lettsr that he not only claimed the authorship of this "mon ody," but also of "The Prisoner's Prayer to Bleep." Professor Wilson, of Edinburgh, there upon avowed himself the author of the latter poem, and was probably as much deceived by the Doctor's letter as Mr. Taylor Had been. The article from Holes and Queries gives otber gossipy information, besides quite an interesting descriptive letter from ths clergy man who officiated at the burial. It seems not Improbable that the writer In Pfnam'hafallenupon "Father ProutV'hoax- ing French translation of Wolfe's monody and some German triplicate. At all events, Dr. Marshall's letter is an apt illustration of the value that may sometimes attach to "internal evidence," apparently minute aud authentic. Respectfully, W. II. F.
