T1IL DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, MARCH 28, 1871. HTDHATURn. REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS. From Claxton, Rernsen A Haffelftnger we kave received the following new publica tion: Crnden's "Cod cord a nee to the Holy Scrip tores" in a standard work which need no spe cial des ription or recommendation, aa ita ralue is well known to nil theological students. The grea cost of the work, however, has hitherto kept it out of the hinds of the mass of the people. Abridgm nta, it ia true, have been pn' lished, bnt these of eonrse are mnoh less vJuil le than the complete work, which has now been issued by Mewsrs. Doid & Mead at a price which will place it within the reich of all. Thin edition is printed npon thin bat strong i aper, BDd for all practical purposes it is worth as runch as the more expensive issues. This work is a complete dictionary and alpha betical index to the Bible and the Apocrypha: it gives the signification of the priucipl words, by which their true meanings in Scripture are shown; it gives an account of Jewish customs and ceremonies, illustrative of many portions of the sacred record; and a concordance of the proper names of the Bible, with thir meaning in the original. The price in cloth ia $ 27.r; in sheep, $3"50; and in half morocco, $4 -CO. Dodd & M-ad also publish "Max Kroruer,"by Ilesba Stretton, a story for young people descriptive of the recent siege of Strasburg by the German army. "The Forest House" and "Catharine's LoverH," by MM. Erckmann-Chatrian, pub lished by Roberts Brothers, and transited by John Siiuins, will favorably introduce the celt brat ed Alsatian brother-novelists to American readers. "The Forest House" is a powerful story of the middle ages, and it gives a wonderfully vivid description of the life led by one of the robber nobles of the VoRgPS in the old feudal times. "Catharine's Lovers" is a very pretty little story which pictures Alsatian village life of the present day in attraoMve colors, and it remm ls us of some of Auerbach's -graceful little village tales in its charming simplicity and quiet humor. "The Mutineers of the Bounty," by Lady Belcher, published by narper & Brothers, relates in a more complete form than has ever been done before a story with which every schoolboy is familiar. The mutiny which took place on the 26th of April, 1789, was caused by the tyranny of the commander of the Bounty, Lieutenant William N. Bl'gh, R. N. The leader of the mutineers was the first mate, Fletcher Christian, and after dismissing Bligh and those who adhered to him in a small boat to find their way to land as best they could, Christian and his fellow-mutineers endeavored to find some solitary island where they would be safe from pursuit. They set tled finally upon Fitcairn'a Island, taking with them several Tahitian men and women, and founded one of the most remarkable colonies the world has ever knon. Christian was its governor, and h trained hi paopl o t virtuous, and established a system of laws which has worked most harmoniously to the present day. The colony w.s discovered finally by a British ship, bur only one of the original mutineers, the patriarch John A lams, was then surviving. A portion of the colony afterwards removed to Norfolk Island, but a large proportion of the descen dants of the mutineers clung to their old home, and they and their children still in habit Pitcairn's Island. The story of the mutiny of the Bounty ia one of the saost romantic in naval history; and the volume before us, which is largely made np of letters and original documents never before pub lished, is one of great interest. Lady Belcher was the step-daughter of the late Captain Peter Heywood, U. N., who was a midshipman on the Bounty and one of the mutineers, she accordingly had access to a large muss of important material, which en ables her to throw much light npon the causes of the mutiny and the fortunes of the mutineers after they abandoned their com mander and separated themselvea from civili zation. T. B. Peterson sends ua a cheap edition of "Jack Hinton, the Guardsman," one of the most lively and amusing of the early novels of Chai-les L-Vcr; and "Pickings for the Picayune," a collection of humorous anec dotes which contain food for mirth. The American Tract Society has com menced the publication of The Illustrated Christian Weekly, the first number of which is before ua. It is a hands -me sheet, with really beautiful illustrations, and is filled with stories, sketches, a -d ess iys suitable for Sunda. reading. W. 8. Turner sends us ' Cyrilla," a well written and high'y entertaining novel by the author of "The Initials;" nd "Madame de Chamblay," one of the later performances of Alexandre Dumas. From Mr. Tnrner we have also received monthly part No. 24 of App'eton's Journal, which contains the weekly numbers fr March.

The following items, translated from the Leipsio JUustriste Zeilung, will be of inte rest to the Masonio fraternity: Nov. 2G, 1870. We have already mentioned two manifestoes put forth by Masonio autho rity, in Switzerland and Belgium, against King William and the Crowa Prinoe. One has also lately been issued by a number of Paris lodges (not all, however, under the Grand Lodge of France). A circular has been sent forth reoeutly, as a set-off to the above, by the Grand Lodge of Baireuth, to which most of the lodges of South Germany are subordinate. In this the responsibility of the untold buffering caused by this war is fairly placed on him to whom it belongs, the position of Germany with regard to it is de nned, while the duty of Freemasons in all lauds is clearly declared to be to do what they can to remedy the injury done to thousands, in person and in property, by the war, ami hIi-o to soothe the wounded hearts which will bleed long after peace is made. Seventy wounded men have already been received in the MaHonic Hospital at Hamburg, of whom foity-eight have been discharged cured, and one Las died. Dec. 10, 1870. A Masonio periodical will appear on Jan. 1, 1871, at Temesvar in Hun gary, under the name of the Union Jlungif riatt-Austrian Masonic Journal, The editor, Albert Strasser, Secretary of the Lloyd So ciety of Temesvar and Orator of the Lodge Hungady there, says in the first number that the "need is great and is deeply felt among all the brethren in Hungary that the Masonio order, now in its infancy there, although looking forward to prosperity under the pro tection of law given to it, should be in close connection with the Masonio world outside. It will thus not only be aided and strength ened itself by the example of others, but will also obtain influence and position among Masons in other countries, and will lend a helping band to feeble lodges who are striving after higher standing and stronger life. Brethren everywhere are urged to support this new enterprise by sending subscriptions. In Vienna, also, a weekly paper has ap peared, edited by S. Schlesinger, and pub lished by a society called "Hnmanitas," formed on Masonic principles. The paper bears tbe some name as the society. The Relief Committee of the united lodges, at Frankfort-on-the-Main, has declared its in tention to give its care more particularly to special cases of reed, which cannot bo well be reached in detail by general societies. Up to tbe middle of November about 10,000 florins had passed through their hands, of which a part had been given to special socie ties end hospitals, a part for the relief of the families of soldiers in the field, and the rest for single cases of urgent need. Deo. 24, 1870. The Grand Lodge of Saxo ny has issued a protest against the abuse of Masonry on the part of foreign lodges, by the introduction of politics into their meet ings. Jan. 7, 1871. Within the last ten years Masonry has obtained a foothold in Egypt, and, as a result, free schools have been es tablished and maintained in Alexandria and Cairo. In the latter city there are from 300 to 400 Masons, (a third of whom, perhaps, are natives,), and they have now two English, two Italian, one French, and one German lodge. There are now 33 Masonio lodges in Portugal- Jan. 21, 1871. The Grand Lodge of Swit zerland has refused decidedly the reqnest of one of the Paris lodges for an expression of ita wo m b politloa! oltnnllOU, giving aS a reason that, although the misfortunes of the French nation claim the sympathy of every Mason, not less than the fearful sacri fices brought upon the German people by thia war, still no expression can be given to that sympathy, which might, by giving it the form of a political demonstration, be at varianoe with the principles of Masonry. Jan. 28, 1871. Acoording to recent statis tics, the number of lodgea in all parts of the world, which are subordinate to the Grand Lodge of England, is 1334; while Sootland has 504. In Asia tbe number of English lodges is as follows: 5 in Smyrna, 3 in Hong-Kong, 3 in Shanghai, 2 in Yokohama. Alexandria in Egypt has 4, and Cairo 3. Feb. 4, 1871. The Masonic lodge at Carls ruhe has sent forth a circular addressed to lodges all over the world, asking for aid for Buttering brethren in Strasburg and Kehl. The Grand Lodge of Hungary, at Pesth, has received recognition from the Govern ment. Tbe fourth lodge there was organized in January. Feb. 11, 1871. The amount colleoted by the lodge at Cailsruhe for the sufferers at Strasburg and Kehl reached at the middle of January more than 8000 florins. The itfasonio Life Insurance Company, es tablished in Hanover in 1843, extending its operations now over all German countries, numbered at the close of the last official year 1577 members, with a capital of nearly 500,000 thalers. (Insurances of 400, 300, 200, and 100 thalers.) The reserve fund of the company is about 20,000 thalers. Ftibiuary 18, 1871. The collection made by one of the three Prussian grand lodges for tbe German William Foundation amounts so far to 7!50 thalers in property and 4 100 in money, in which last sum is included a sum of 250 thalers from one of the German lodges in New York. Another collection made by the same grand lodge in October for Masonio lodges in Strasburg amounted to 14 51 thalers. A number of donations have also been given directly t individual lodges. At the beginning of the present year there were in Hungary eighteen Masonio lodges six in Pesth, two in Arad, two in Temesvar, and one in Alt-Ofen, B ja, Kaschan, Oden burg, Oravitza, Presburg, Szegedin, and Wersobatz. A seoond lodge in Oravitza will soon be formed. The Russian papers announce the death of the composer Seroff, a gentleman who, as Meyerbeer's mother said of her son to Heine, was "not obliged to write music" Indeed, his first inclinations in oonneotion with the art which, as a youDg man, he cultivated merely as an amateur, led him to produce not musio but musical critioisms; and, in the opinion of many, it would have been well for him if be had contented himself with show ing what, in the way of operatio ait, ought be done instead of attempting to do it himself. Like Wagner, and like Berlioz, he was fond of pointing out the absurdity cf certain conventional forms in opera, but, also like Wagner and like Berlioz, ha did not always succeed, while avoiding thefce forms, in producing musio as interest ing aa it was doubtless original. Prussian journalibts praise Seroff for having always endeavored to give his musio a truly natioual character which in the case of one of his two or three operas, called Judith, would seem to say mon for his patriotism than for his goo J taste. Even those Polihh ethnologists who, aa if to damn the Ruaaian nation beyond the piKhiLility of leden-ptioi), assign to the "Muscovites '' A Hebrew origin, would smile at the notion of Judith being made to sing in the Russian manner. But the faot is Seroff was less ft child of Russia than a disoiple of Wagner. Like Wagner he considered na tional legends good subjects for operas, and, like Wagner, he neglected perhaps could not invent what is called "tune" and culti vated "continuous melody" in lieu thereof. Many of Seroff 's very interesting oritioisras on contemporary performances appeared in the Journal de St. Petersbourg. SPECIAL. NOTIOE8. gQT REDEMPTION OP" 8TATK BONDS.
