NEW PIIBLICATIONS.
"Protestant Episcopal Church." Under
this title the phonographic report of the
proceedings of the last General Convention
of the P. E. Church, has just been
. pub
lished by MesSrs'. Sutton and Murphy. The
proceeain& of thil body have attracted
more attention and excited a wider interest
than those of any religious body ever as
sembled in this country. The marked
ability of most of those by whom the debates
were conducted, the 'gravity of many of the.
questions discussed, the national bear-
ing of some of them, andother circumstances
combined to arrest public attention to a
very unusual degree. The whole of the de
bates and proceedings were phono
graphically reported, and are now presented
in a handsomely printed super-royal octavo
volume of about four hundred pages. That
great pains have been taken to make these
reports as perfect as possible is indicated by
the carefully prepared Index, which is pe
culiarly valuable in a volume of this sort.
There are one or two curious facts estab
lished by a .reference to this Index. In a
deliberative body of over two hundred mem
bers, its action was mainly controlled by
about twenty men, who divide amongst
them the extraordinary number of twelve
hundred speechei great and small. These
are distributed in the following proportions:
Clerical—Adams 57, Buel 49, Clarkson 45,
Cummings 57, Craik 54, Goodwin 58, Howe
79, Harels, Kerfoot 44, Mead 89, Mahan 62,
Randall 55, Vinton 99, Wharton 62. Lay—
Chambers 99, Fish 41, Otis 49, Ruggles 69,
Welsh 75.
Many of these speeches are of marked
ability; and the average of them we regard
as much above that of most deliberative as
semblies. As the record of the doings of a
large representative body of one branch of
the American Church, convened immedi
ately after the close of the rebellion, this
volume possesses an interest which extends
far beyond the pale of, the Episcopal Church.
It can hardly fail to secure a large sale. It
may be procured in this city at the Episco
pal Book Store, No. 1224 Chestnut street.
The Presbyterian Board of Publication
have recently added to their extensive list
five new volumes. The principal of these
is "Daily Meditations," by Rev. George
Bowen, for twenty years past a missionary
in India. The volume, as its title indicates,
is a series of meditations upon passages of
scripture, arranged for each day in the
year. There is a clear, vigorous, manly
Christianity running through its pages,
which seems to belong to those who grap
ple with the world's wickedness in heathen
or destitute places in a purer form than with
many who devote themselves to the expo
sition of scripture, as an intellectual, rather
than a practical occupation.
"Leaves of Consolation," by Mrs. H.
Dwight Williams, is a collection of prose
and poetry culled from a very wide-spread
field, illustrating the various forms of human
suffering, and the consolationswhich a pure
and simple - Christianity so abundantly
affords to the bereaved and afflicted. There
is nothing so catholic as human sorrow, and
the compiler of this volume has gone glean
ing through all the wide fields of literature
gathering everywhere fresh leaves to bind
together in a combination admirably
adapted to comfort the mourner in the bit
terest sorrow.
"Love to the End," is a series of brief
essays on the closing days of the human
career of the Saviour of the world. It is
from the pen of Rev. Charles E. Knox.
" Brookside Farm House," and " Helen
Maurice" are two pretty little juveniles,
illustrated with well-executed engravings,
which , will make themselves welcome at
many a fireside and in many a Sunday
School library. Like all the publications of
this house, these five volumes are all issued
in admirably good taste, paper, printing and
binding being all that can be desired.
After an interval of seven years the ninth
edition of Livingston's "Official Directory
and Law Register of the United States" has
just appeared.. The labor of preparing such
a work at this time must have been im
mense, comprising as it does a well classi
fied list of the 30,000 lawyers of this country,
thoroughly revised since the close of the
war. As a manual of reference the work is
exceedingly valuable, not only to profes
sional but to business men. There are
certain defects in the work which, we
should think, might easily be rectified.
The Judicial organization of the Federal
government would be a valuable addition,
in place of the very partial and incorrect
list, introduced for some reason in the de
partment of New York. In this list Judge
Catron (deceased) is retained,Judge Davis's
district is called vacant, and the Tenth dis
trict, judge Field, is not mentioned at all.
Such a work as this should give a fall list
of all the judicial officers of the United
States, and that, in a department of its own
and not as a "sandwich" amongst the
lawyers of New York. Another defect is
the omission of the executive and judiciary
organization of several of the States, such
as Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey
and Delaware, which must certainly have
been easily accessible. The correction of
these palpable defects will increase the
value of future editions of this very desirable
work. •
" A Story of a Trooper," is a new cavalry
book, published by Dick & Fitzgerald, New
York. - It is the personal narrative
of F. Colburn Adams, and covers the
ground of the war up to the end of
McClellan's disastrous , campaign of
the Peninsula. The opinions of the
writer are of course of no more value than
those of the scores of other writers who have
preceded him, and in some respects, of ra
ther less value than the average. Mr. Col
burn has managed to preserve his faith in
McClellan as a very great general, and he
contrives -to introduce slurs and sneers at
Pennsylvania enough to prove him a full
blooded. New Yorker. The style of th? ;bo o k
is good and many of the incidents are lively
and well told, but if we were writing his
tory, we should consult a few additional
authorities, before adopting all of the
"Story of a Trooper" Ina incontrovertible
fact. For sale by 3. B. Lippincott & Co.
T. B. 'Peterson & Brothers have just pub
lished a "Story of a Trooper," about whom
there can be no question. It is the Life of
Philip H. Sheridan, by Chaplain Denison,
1:T. S. A. Within the brief space of, two
' Innulred pages, the author has given us an .
Inrcellent sketch of the brilliant career of
the greatest Cavalry General of modern
times. Official dciciiments have been largely
drawn upon for authentic information, and
the volume is conscientiously limited to the
narrative of the stirring events which have
made General Sheridan's name 'so famou.
F
The. biography closes with Boker's cell
prated poem of" Cavalry Sheridan."
The "Belton Estate," by Anthony Trol
loppe, has been< read with much interest
during its weekly appearance in Littell, and
will be gladly welcomed in its complete
forth. Like all Trollope's books, it is well
written and entertaining, but we could
wish for sOmething more new and original
than the scenes and correspondence be
tween the lovers. Many of these in the
Belton Estate remind us instantly of simi
lar situations and letters in "Can You For
give Her" and "Miss Mackenzie;"but on the
whole,we can heartily recommend the book
to our readers. Published by Harper BF
Brothers. For sale by T. B. Peterson &
Brothers.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers have reprinted
in cheap form, Topper's novel, "Twins and
Heart." The author's numerous admirers
in this country will be glad to see this re=
production of one of his best efforts.
A. S. Barnes lk Co., New York, have just
published a new Geography, in which the
science of Geography is sought to be im p ;
parted to the pupil by familiar language
and intelligible engravings, rather than
through the medium of scientific and diffi
cult terms. It is in Atlas form, beautifully
printed and copiously illustrated with nu
merous original engravings. The author is
Professor James Monteith, a teacher of high
standing. For, sale by Sower, Barnes &
Potts.

COWARDLY ASSAULT. —!Abin Dougherty
was before Alderman Johnson, yesterday,
upon the charge of having assaulted a one
armed man, the keeper of a tavern in the
Twenty-fourth Ward. It seems that a few
nights ago four men, one of whom is alleged
to have been Dougherty, went to the tavern,
and after beating the proprietor, robbed the
money drawer. A warrant for the arrest of
the party was placed in the hands of officer
Pritner, who found Dougherty at Leiper
yille on Saturday. There being no cars
running after the arrest, the officer walked
to the Twenty-fourth Ward Station House
with his prisoner. The latter was commit
ted to answer at court.
FIRE IN THE FOURTH WARD.-At 6 o'clk
last evening a fire occurred at the building
No. 604 South Second street, occupied as a
residence and dry goods store by Thos.
Moore. The contents of the store were de
stroyed, the loss being estimated at $5,000,
upon which there is an insurance of $3,500
in the Royal Insurance Company. About
five minutes before the fire was discovered,
Mrs. Moore had occasion to go into the store
and took with her a lighted candle. The
moment the front door was opened the
flames spread rapidly,and the contents were
totally consumed, scarcely a vestige being
left. The building was very slightly in
ured.

festivities. The parlors wese splendidly
decorated with flowers, flags, birds, &c.
After a sumptuous repast a number of toasts
were drank, suitablel to the onaasion, a neat,
modest speech to the 'congratulations of his
friends. The Liberty Cornet Band then
made its appearance, and with music,
dancing, &c ., ` mirth made gladness," until
long after the "wee small hours."

DARING THIRF.—A daring robbery was
perpetrated a night or two since at the house
of a colored man, named Boley, residing
near the gas works in Camden. A colored
lad glorying in the name of George Wash
ington Johns, became aware that Boley had
some money, and being intimate at his
house, took advantage of his friendship, and
while he was at church, entered his resi
dence, broke open a desk and abstracted
therefrom fifty-eight dollars. Boley's wife
was in the house at the time, but being
alone and completely helpless, she could
make no resistance, and the boy, after ob
taining the money, left the premises. As
soon as Boley returned, he went to Marshal
Campbell, and notified him of the fact,
when that official went to the house of the
robber and arrested-; him. He was com
mitted.
SENTENCES Or THE Cous.T.—On Saturday,
in the Court of Quarter Sessions for the

carriage, five years in State Prison; Wm.
Julius, colored, housebreaking and robbery,
one year; William Clay, atrocious assault
and battery, one year; Robert Roberts,
larceny of twenty turkeys, one year; Geo.
W. Haines, bigamy, two years. There is an
unusually large amount of criminal busi
ness before the Court, and the rest of the
cases will be disposed of during the present
week.
PAINFUL RUMOR CONFIRKED.—TIie pain
ful rumor which prevailed in Camden, to
the effect that a vessel laden with merchan

confirmed this morning. The vessel was
commanded by Captain Smith, of Camden,
with two of his brothers, and the necessary

were frozen to death. The rest of the crew
were on the wreck five days, and had been
feeding on the body of the cook 24 hours,
