"A Handbook of Legendary and Mytho logical Art," by Clara Erskine Clement, pub lished by Hard & Houghton, has been sent ns by Forter & Coatea. In hor preface the au thor states that this work originated in her own experience of the want of some hand book of reference, both in reading and in visiting art gnllrien, and that it has been written for the purpose of instructing her own children, for acquiring herself a more exact knowledge of the sub j eots treated therein, and to supply to others who may noed it information about legendary and mythological subjects bo frequently treated by artists of all ages. The first division of the book de scribes symbolism in art; the second gives the legends and stories which have been illustrated in art! principally those of a re ligious character; tke third division gives the legends of place; and the fourth division briefly recounts the ancient myths illustrated in art. The work is profusely illustrated by examples from the performances of the best ancient and modern masters, and it con tains much interesting and valuable informa tion. A greater amount of art culture than Mrs. Clement apparently possesses should however be brought to the preparation of snch a book as this, if it is to have a per manent value with artists and real connois seurs and is to fulfil all the conditions compiler has drawn her informatton from a great number of standard authorities, and the hand-book iu accurate and valuable so far as it goes. Its usefulness would be greatly increased, however, if it were arranged as a dictionary, and if the various legends related were supplemented by brief mention of the most important pictures and statues which illustrate them. Mrs. Clement plainly lacks the knowledge necessary for the preparation of a critical work, and this hand-book, while it will be a valuable addition to any artistio library, might easily be improved upon if some one who has made art a study were to undertake the task. From Porter & Coates we have also re ceived the "Heir of Redclyffe,"byMiss Yonge, author 9 the "Two Guardians," etc Pub lished by D. Appleton & Co. This is a neat two-volume edition of a very interesting novel which for a number of years has main tained a merited popularity. "Our Girls" is the title of a book by Dr. Dio Lewis which has just been issued by Harper A Brothers, and which we have re ceived from Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger. Pr. Lewis writes in a genial vein, and, with the exception of a tendency at times to elanginess, "Our Girln" is thoroughly excel lent in manner and matter. It gives import ant and valuable advice with regard to 1 em ale dress, and the numerous moral and sanitary questions connected therewith, end much good counsel about the proper means to be adopted for the preservation of health. There are some exoellent hints with regard to women's work and wages, a chapter on matrimony, and dissertations npon a va riety of other subjects of interest to girls of all ages. The agreeable style in which this work is written will doubtless secure it many readers, when a more polished performance would secure none; and while the geniality cf Dr. Lewis sometimes runs rather over, bis defects of style are such as will rather aid than impede the object he has in view. John E. Potter & Co. send ns "Diseases of the American Horse, and Cattle and Sheep," by Robert MoClure, M. D., V. S. This work gives the principal diseases to which horses, cattle, and sheep are subject, in alphabetical order, with plain and practical directions for their treatment. It will be a valuable addition to the libraries of farmers, stock breeders, and others who have the care of torses, cattle, and sheep. From W. S. Turner we have received Jlpplcton's Journal and Every Saturday. The Central News Company, No. 50. Cbesnut street, sends ns the latest numbers of Punch, Ihe St. James Magazine, and Fun, Titers? Musical Monthly tot March con tains a variety of new vooal and instrumental compositions. The March number of TJie Manufacturer and Builder is filled with a variety of papers cn practical subjects. Leisure Hours for March contains bio rrachical sketches and portraits of State Senator George Connell and Samuel B Cluley, Esq., of Pittsburg, with a variety of interesting stories and sketches. The Maroh number or lie American Educational Month'y has a number of well written articles on educational subjects. Van Nostrand's Eclectic Engineering Magazine is made up of selections from the Lest foreign engineering publications. A writer in the Boston Traveller seems to regard General Magruder as having been by far the most successful of all the Rebel Generals dnrin? the war.

T ESOLUTION -l Of Request to the Congress of the United States to Repeal the Income Tax. Whereas, In the opinion ol a vast majority of the citizens of Philadelphia the income tax, as now assessed and collected, is inquisitorial, un equal, and oppressive. It invites the commis sion of penury; it oners a premium ior msnon estv, and U most offensive to American sensi bility and education in exposing to the public the private an airs 01 individuals: ana Whereas, Ihe amount realized therefrom Is vastly disproportionate to the expense of col lection; and Whereas. The said tax was originally imposed on the sole ground that it was necessary as a war measure, and 'as such submitted to and cheerfully paid by the people; and the reason of the imposition of the tax being abrogated, the collection of the tax should also cease; now therefore Resolved, By the Select and Common Counils of the City 01 rnnaaeipnia, 'mat me con gress of the United States be respectfully re quested to repeal the act providing for the assessment and collection of a tax on in comes. Resolved. That the Clerks ot Councils be dl rected to transmit to each of the members of Congress from Pennsylvania a copy of the fore going preamble and resolution. President of Common Council.
