Y„ have just published, in handsome book form, “The New Gospel of Peace.” This keen and amusing satire upon recent American politics, especially as they relate to the city of New York, is one of the most striking of the varied literary productions of the war. The secret of its authorship has been well kept, and is made the subject of a capital serio-comic disquisition in the preface of this' edition. The Chaldaic origin of the •work will scarcely be disputed, after this learned argument in its favor. The close imitation of Scriptural phraseology in this ■clever production will always lay it open to the charge of needless irreverence, in many minds, but its caustic wit and the powerful political influence whioh it has exercised, ■entitle it to a place in the library, amongst the other records of the rebellion. The present edition is enriched by solemn foot notes, by way, as the author says, “of exe gesis, improvement and edification.” It is for sale by J. B. Lippincott & Co. “The History of a Mouthful of Bread,” is the title of a book just published by the American News Company. It is the first American edition of a French work by Jean MacS, which has already passed through seventeen editions .' in Paris. The main, purpose of this capital book, is to convey in simple language, adapted to the compre hension of the young, a clear idea of the ■digestive economy of the human system, and the author has displayed marked ability and ingenuity in his difflonlt task- ■ The American edition is a reprint of an English edition, the errors of which haye ■been corrected and the text restored to a jcloser adherence to the original. The book ■■will be a most valuable aid in the instruc tion of the young and will also be a valuable aid to those of older growth whose present ideas as to the processes to which a “mouth ful of Bread” is subjected, are very vague’ and crude. For : sale by J. B. Lippincott ■& Co. : J. B. Lippincott <fe Co. have received from Lee <fc Shepard, Boston, “The “Way of the World,” a novel by Mr. William T. Adams, better known as “Oliver Optic.” Mr, Adams has made a high reputation as a writer-of juvenile books, and in this, which we be lieve is his first esßay in regular romance,'' he shows ah ability whioh/has produced a very readable American novel. T. B. Peterson <ft Brothers, have received from Harper & Brothers, N. Y., “Annals of of a Quiet Neighborhood,” by George Macdonald, M, A. This story purports to be the narrative of a vicar of a quiet Eng lish parish, and it is told with ;an easy naturalness and with a fine appreciation of English character in domestic' and rural life. Loypoldt & Holt, N. Y. have just pub lished a very pretty edition of “King Rent’s Daughter” translated from the Danish of Henrick Hertz by Theodore Mar tin. This exquisite little lyrical drama, although intimately known in England, has never been published but once in this country, and tben in a very common pamphlet form. The simple, peaceful story of the poem is beautifully told and the translator bas evidently caught the inspira tion of the original, In biß free and vigorous versification. For sale by J. B.

Christmas was celebrated in this oity yes ; terday in the usual manner, bnt with con siderably more spirit than it has been for several years past. Monday was a very dull day. The rain fell in torrents during the morning, and afternoon, and everything in dicated a disagreeable Christmas. The juveniles and shop-keepers looked disap pointed. The latter class had not mnch reason to complain, however, as all the stores where Christmas articles are to be had were crowded, notwithstanding the stormy weather. Towards evening the wind shifted, and the sky brightened up. The celebration of Christ mas Eve commenced" abont six o’clock, when people began to flock to the lower part of the city. Eighth street and Chestnut street were the centre of attrac tion. On Eighth street, the crowd became very dense and locomotion was exceedingly siow. There was very little disorder. The order of Mayor McMichael for the preven tion of pushing and pnlling was carried out by a strong police force, the officers being stationed bat a few feet apart on Eighth street, from Sansom to Race. During the evening thirty-nine persons were arrested for drunkenness, disorderly conduct and in sulting females, and several individuals were captured, for indecently' assaulting women. The cases were all disnosed of by Alderman Beitler, who was at 'his post'at the Central Station. The dealers in tin horns and penny trumpets must have done a thriving business. Such a tumult and din has not been heard for years. Nearly every person seemed to have a horn; all used their lungs lustily, and each seemed to try who could make the most noise. Fantastical dabs and small bands of masqueraders, with drums and trumpets, were more plentiful than usual. Some of the costumes were exceedingly fanny,were well got up, and created much amusement. The crowds continued to throng the princi pal streets until midnight, ana long after that hour the noise of the horns was kept kept up in some of the thoroughfares. 1 Christmas was ushered in by the ringing of the chimes of Christ Churcb; St. Peter’s Church and St. Stephen’s Church. The morning opened with a bright sun and a keen atmosphere. The little ones were delighted,and everybody was highly pleased at having such a fine day for the celebration of the festivities. Services were held in the Roman Catholic, Protestant Episcopal, Lu theran and Moravian Churches. The inte rior of all the church edifices was beauti- tifullv decorated with evergreens. The services were all well attended. At the Cathedral the service was grand. Hummel’s Grand Mass No. 1, in E flat, Mozart’s Te Hewn, and the Grand Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah were sung. The choir were assisted by the Germania Orchestra. Rt. Rev. Bishop Wood celebrated mass, and a sermon was delivered by Bishop O’Connor, of Pittsburgh. ... . ’ In the afternoon people turned out in the streets in large numbers. Chestnut street was a perfect jam on both sides, until dark. The noise of the horns was well kept up, but there was little or no disorder. Aider man Beitler had only! ten cases of drunken ness and disorderly conduct last evening. The poor were not forgotten yesterday. The soup houses were ail: engaged in the distribution of soup. At the Bedford Street Mission House an excellent dinner was pro vided for thechildrenwho attend the Sab bath and day schools. The various other charitable -institutions in the. city ■ also - fur nished a good dinner for the inmates. The boys at the Lincoln Institution had a fine time yesterday. After attending service at the. Church or the Epiphany they re turned home, where they were welcomed by a large company of the ladies and gen tlemen who are interested in l this admir able institution. The boys surrounded a splendid Christmas tree, whioh was - bend ing with all manner of pretty things; and sang several Christmas-hymns and carols’ with much spirit. While thus engaged they received a visit from -His Honor Mayor McMichael, who was welcomed by the boys, through the medium of their captain, Jenness Dexter, in .a neat little speech, to which the Mayor replied in his usual felici tous style. He was greeted with a hearty round cif cheers," followed by cheers for Mr. Superintendent Borrowes, General Meade, the ladies, and other friends of the insti tution. After the distribution of the presents, consisting of skates, sleds, soarfs, and all manner of appropriate toys, the boys sat down to .very comfortable Christmas;din ner, supplemented with no end of cakes and candles. A happier houseful of child ren was nowhere to be found; yesterday, than beneath the hospitable roof of the Lin coln Institution. s::;; : The children of the Church Home, Twen- - ty-second and Pine streets, had a- very *,‘merry Christmas.!’ The parlors' of the 1 Home were beautifully decorated with ever greens and flags and in the midst a tall Christmas tree stood, loaded with the usual fruit of thatpeonliar annual. The happy little inmates were all agog with delight over their. substantial: and pretty presents. They sang a number of beautiful carols, in i a style reflecting great credit on their excel lent teachers, and afterwards did full justloe to a bountifnl Christmas dinner. The.Churoh Home, under itsprCseht admirable manage ment, is one of the model institutions of Philadelphia, and it was very pleasant to PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26.1866. see these merry little children entering with suoh glee into the enjoyment of the liberal provisions made by their friends, yesterday, lor their benefit. Christmas passed off pleasantly at the Northern Home for Friendless Children. In the morning the children, numbering over three hundred, were treated to candies, cakes, etc.. after whioh they sat down to a bountiful dinner, which the little fellows ap peared to enjoy amazingly. In the after noon, a large audience listened to the reoi : tation and singing by the children. The recitations were conducted by the Misses ! Walk, the principal teachers, and -the sing ing by A. M. Spangler. Sami. Mason, Esq., , presided. After the schoolroom exercises, : the visitors were invited to examine the ; building and its arrangements, as well as ; the handsome supper-table, on which were ; placed in-great profusion, oranges, raisins, h andsQme cakes, together with ooffee,bread, ; and butter,presents,<ko.

Y, Times, of December 25.] 1 Death of the Portuguese minister. His Excellency the Commander J. C. de (Figanlere e Morao, Minister Plenipoten >> ary from Fertngal, died at 1 A. M. on Monday, at his son’s residence, in Brook lyn. Mr. D. Figanlere was a native of Lis ' bon, and was 68 years of age. He has been many years m the United States, his first official position having been as Consul at ; Norfolk. He was Charge d 1 Affaires at Washington at the time of Don Miguel’s usurpation, under whom he refused to serve. After the fall of Don Miguel, Mr. de Figaniere was reappointed, and has ever since represented his native country, his rank for many years having been that of Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Ex traordinary. By virtue of seniority, he has for a long time been Dean of the Diplomatic Corps. Many important questions have arisen daring his term of office between this Government and that of Portugal, ;»nd he has eondnetea his share of the nego tiations with great zeal, fidelity and ability. He has resided for some years on a farm near Charlestown, Md., only going to Wash ington on visits of business or State cere mony. An illness which seized him last autumn has detained him in Brooklyn ever since. In his social relations Mr. de Figa niere was everything that the true gentie man should be. His career, both profes sional and private, has been thoroughly honorable, and he leaves to his sorrowing family a record that they can view with pride and affection. The funeral services of the deceased gentleman will take place in the Chnrch of St. Peter and St. Paul, Brook lyn, E. D., on Thursday morning. The re mains will be taken to Philadelphia for in terment In the family burial lot at Laurel HilL From the Journal of Commerce, Dec. 25, Death op Com. de Figaniere. —The death of the Portuguese Minister, which occurred on the 24th Inst., will be heard with regret by many readers. We have re ceived a tribute to his worth from a distin guished member of the bar, which we gladly publish: ; Joaquim C»sar de Figaniere e Morao, Commander de Figaniere, Minister to the United States for Portugal, died at a son’s residence in. Williamsburg on the 21th of December instant. This gentleman—a gentleman in every sense of the word—was Known for many years by the leading men of New York. Mr. de Figaniere was the son of an admiral, and, as a youth, was a midshipman in the British navy. In New York, he was, during a long period, the Portuguese Consul General, and his excel lent conduct and large ability caused him to be promoted to the position of Minister for Portugal. Such a change, from consular to diplomatic service, is rare, and only takes place through merit. Commander de Figaniere was a thorough diplomatist—we üße the word in its highest meaning. Onr archives at Washington hold proofs of bis great talent, in connection with grave national matters. He labored with (tuccess for the honor of his country in the important case of the General Armstrong, and his despatches, protest, and correspond ence in matters connected with the wine trade throughout the world, and custom du ties attaching thereto, are referred to at the present day. He was looked on as senior of the foreign ministry at Washington, and there was no equal to him among them in bis knowledge of international law. : He was a scholar. This is proved, among other things, by bis published translation of- Les Quatre Ages of Count de Segur.ln all business dealings, he was most sensitively honorable. With a very handsome, intel lectual countenance, there was a carriage, a grace, an amiability that gave instant as surance of goodness, charitableness and true courtesy. While many outside of his family circle will readily eoho all that is here put forth, never was character more charmingly displayed than in this gentle man,when looked at as hnsband and father. And, as a friend, he who pens these lines can attest his beautiful sincerity. Mr. de Fi ganiere—it is more than thirty-five years ago —was his first acquaintance on coming to this country, and it was at a time when the writer knew no one here, and wanted cheer ing and encouragement. He not only got these in the most delicate and self-sacrificing manner, but a friendship was formed which showed there was the closeness of brothers in the grasping of hands on the death-bed. “ I recognize you, old friend! I recognize you, ola friend! Don’t leave me, old friend!” ■ If he had failings, we never discovered them; they must have been connected with some overstraining of a virtue, and could not, in such a large heart and with true no bility of disposition, have emanated from any low vice.

Daring the past year Mr. Shinn, the agent of the society, has made a complete exploration of Camden city and county, and has supplied by saleand donation, every family with a copy of the Scriptures that was destitute of a Bible. A va9t amount of work has been done, and an equal amount of good effected. A Work House.— For years past, in fact ever since Camden was a county, the people have felt the necessity of a suitable work house, where those yonng men and boys who have been convicted of crimes can be sent instead .of the Penitentiary. The mat ter begins to assume'a tangible form, as the Board of Chosen Freeholders have taken the subject In band, and are taking prelimi nary measures to have one erected.
