The. Queente. hew nook. Not long elnee Quern Victoria wok a step which was without precedent in the history of royalty Sn En;„land by publishing the first volume of a biography of the late Prince Co'- sort. The reception of this book—,not only bv the English, people, but even by foreign nations— could not but be entirely satisfactory to the royal authoress, and bus, perhaps, .proved an en couragement to her to follow up her first work by another. The new work which has just made its appearance is entitled "Leaves from the Jour nal of Our Life in the Highlands, from 18-1.8 to 141; to which la prefixed and added Extract , : from the same Journal, giving an Account of Earlier Visite to Scotland, nod Tours in England and Ireland, and Yachting Excursions." Edited by Arthur Helps, London: Smith, Elder AT, Co. The London papers appear to bo charmed with it. The Star says: "This new volume gives us a perfect picture of the happiness of Her Mlijesty's wedded life. the simplicity of her tastes, her domesticity, her genial kindness, and, above all, her firm, con- Want reliance upon her husband. It is exactly what its title represents It to be—extracts from a journal, the writer of which could not have dt•eamstl, when she made the entries, that they would ever come to be read by millions of Inter esttal people. The work of editing_ has been done most, admirably by Mr. Arthur Helps. The arrangement is extremely good.• Mr. Helps has written a preface, without which the volume would scarcely be complete, for it not only tells us how the diary came to be published. but says come other things which it is quite as well the people over whom the Queen reigns should know." The circumstances which led to the , publication of this book are thus described in the preface: "During one of the editor's °Metal visits to Balmoral, Her . Majesty very kindly allowed him to see several extracts fromher lottrnal relating to excursions in the Highlands ot Scotland. He was much Interested by them, and expressed the interest which he felt. It then occurred to Het Majesty that these extracts, referring, as they did to several of the happiest hours of her lite, might be made into a book to bo printed privately tor presentation to members of the Royal Family and Her Majesty's intimate friends, especially to those whb had, accompanied and attended her in these tours. "4 was then suggested to Her Majestybvsome persons, among them a near and dear relative of the Queen, and afterward by the editor, that this work, if made known to others, would be very interesting to •them as well as to the royal faintly and to her Majesty's intimate friends. The Queen, however, said that she had no skill what ever in authorship; that these were, for the most part, merely accounts of excursions near home: and that she felt extremel,y reluctant to publish anything written by herself. "To this the editor respectfully replied, that if printed at all, however limited the' impression, and however careful the selection of persons to whom copiea might be given, some portions of the volume, or quite as probably incorrect repre sentations of its contents, might find their way into the public journals. It would, therefore, he thought, be better at once to place the volume within the reach of Her Majesty's subjects, who - would no doubt derive from It pleasure similar to that which it had afforded to the editor himself. Morecver, it would be very gratifying to her subjects, who had always shown a sincere and ready sympathy with the personal joys and sor row of their sovereign, to be allowed to know how her rare moments of leisure were passed in her Highland home, when every joy was height ened, and every care and sorrow diminished by the loving companionship of the Prince Consort. With his memory the scenes to which this volume refers would always be associated. "Upon these considerations, Her Ma i jesty event many consented to its publication. "While the hook was being printed, the editor suggested that it would gain an interest if other extracts, were added to it, describing Her Ma jesty's progress in England, Ireland, and the Channel Islands. The Queen was pleased to as sent, and the additions were accordingly made." The book is dedicated: "To the dear memory of lam who' made. the life of the writer bright and hapm these simple records are lovingly and grulellMly inscribed." It is not made np of eon tintious narratives. except in two or three in stances, brash:l3ply consists of extracts from. Her Majesty's journal. It is divided into three parts, respectfully headed, "Earlier visits to Scotland," 'Life in the Highlands, 1818.1861." and "Tours jn. England and Ireland, and Yachting Excur sions." The volume,-relates almost entirely to the Queen's experience of life in the Highlands of Scotland. The Queen was delighted with the Highlanders ' and chose trom among thorn her most Misted attendants. She says, in one part of her Rieman "All the Highlanders are so amusing, and really pleasant and instructive to talk to—women as well as men—and the latter so gentlemanlike." In another passage she ob serves ; "We were always in the habit of con -vorsing with the Highlanders; with whom one comes so much in contact in the Highlands. The Prince highly appreciated the good breeding, simplicity, and intelligence which made it so pleasant, and even instructive, to talk to them." From among the Highlauders the Queen chose some of her most trusted servants. She thus speaks speaks of Mr. Grant, her head keeper "He had been nearly twenty years with Sir Robert Gordon—nine as keeper. He was born in Braemar in the year 1810. He is an excellent man, most thistworthy, of singular shrewdness and discretion, and most devotedly attached to the Prince and myself. He has a fine, intelligent countenance. The Prince was very fond of him. He has six eons. The second, Alick, is wardrobe man to our son Leopold. AU are good, well-dis posed lads, and getting along well in their differ ent occupations.- His mother, a fine, hale old woman of eighty years, ' stops ' In a small cot tage which the Prince built for her in our village. He himself lives in a pretty lodge called Croft, a mile from Balmoral, which the Prince built for him." And Mr. John Brown,now an upper servant and permanent. personal attendant of the. Queen, is. thus spoken of "The same who, in 1858, became my regular attendant out of doors everywhere in the High lands, who commenced as gillie in 1849, and was selected by Albert and me to go with my carriage. In 1851 he entered our service permanentty, and began in that year leading my pony, and ad vanced step by step by his good conduct and intel ligence. His attention, care and faithfulness can not be exceeded, and the state of my health, whieh of late years has been sorely tried and weakened,renders such qualifications most valua ble, aud,indeed, most needful In a constant attend ant upon all occasions. He has since,most deserv edly, been promoted to be an upper servant, and my permanent personal attendant (December, 1885). Ho has all the independence and elevated feelings peenlitkr u p. the Highland race, and is singularly strai forward, simple-minded, kind hearted, and dis nterested, always ready to oblige, and of a discretion rarely to be met with. He is new In his fortieth year. His father was a small farmer who lived at the. Bush, on the opposite side to BalmoraL He is the second of nine brothers, three of whom had died, two are in Australia and New Zealand, two are living in the neighborhood of Balmoral, and the youngest, ( -----.Mveble (Archibald), is valet to our son Leopold, and is an excellent; trustworthy young man." When in Scotland, the royal family, to the im mense mortification of the High Church Angli cans, was accustomed to attend service in the established Presbyterian Kirk of Scotland. She thus speaks of the Presbyterian service conducted by one of her chaplains : "October 29, 1854.—We went to kirk as usual at 12 o'clock. The service was performed by the Rev. Norman McLeod of Glasgow, eon of Dr. McLeod, and anything finetll never heard. The sermon, entirely extempore, was quite admira ble; so simple,and yet so eloquent, and so beautifully argued and pat. The text was from the account of the coining of Nicodemus to Christ by night: St. John, chap. 5. Mr. McLeod showed in the sermon bow we all tried to please A:41; and live for that, and in so doing found no rest. Christ bad - come not only to die for us, but to show us how we were to live. The second prayer was very touching; his allusions to us were so simple, saying, after his mention of ua, 'bless their children. It gave me a lump in my throat, as also when he prayed for 'the dying, the wounded, the widow and the orphan'.' very one came back delighted; and how satisfactory it is to come back from church with such feelings! The servants and the ilighlanders, all, wore equally delighted." She speaks with not less enjoyment of artothek Scotch minister, whose sermon she co m mended to be published: October 14, 1855.—T0 kirk at 12 O'clock. The Bey. J. Caird, one of the most celebrated prawi . in Scotland, performed the service, and electrified an present by a most admirable end beautiful semen, which lasted nearly an --- hour, but which kept one's attention riveted. The text was from the 12th chapter of Hum sus, and the 11th verse 'Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.' He explained, In the most beautiful and simple manner, what teal religion is; bow it ought to pervade every ac.iou of our lives; not a thing only, for dandays, or for our closet; not a thing to drive us from the world; not 'a perpetual moping over good books,' bpt 'being and doing, good,' 'letting everything be done in a Christian spirit. It was as fine as Mr. McLeoll's sermon last year,' and sent us home much edified." The Queen became very fond of her honse in the Highlands, and thus wrote of it about a dozen years ago : ' "Ocarourtn 13, 1856.—Every year my heart be comes more fixed in this dear Paradise, and s much more so now, that all has become my dearest Albert's own creation, own work, own building, own laying out, as at Osborne; and his gteatlaste, and the impress of his dear hand, have been stamped everywhere. Ho was very buy to-day, settling and arranging many things for next year." On another occasion she writes: "At 8!-.: o'clock we started, and were very,very sorry to leave Blair and the dear Highlands - ! Every little trifle and every spot I had become at tached to our life of quiet and liberty, every thieg was so pleasant, and all the Highlanders and people who went with us I had got to like so much. 04 the dear bills, it made me very sad to leave theta behiad !" On returning to England she greatly missed the Highlands, and thus gave vent to her feelings: "The English coast appeared terribly fiat. Lord Aberdeen was quite touched when I told him I was so attached to the dear, dear High lands, and missed the fine hills so much. There is a great peculiarity about the Highlands and Highlanders; and they are such a chivalrous, fine, active people. Our stay among them was so delightful. Independently of the beautiful scenery, there was a quiet, a retirement, a wild ness, a liberty, and a solitude that had such a charm for us.' The following is the Queen's account of ono of the incidents of those expeditions in which she traveled incog: 'A few seconds brought us over to the road, where there were two shabby vehieles,one a kind of baronche, into which Albert and'l got, Lady Churchill and Gen. Grey into the other—a break; each with a pair of small and rather miserable horses, driven by a man from the box. Grant was on our carriage, and Brown on the other. We had gone so far forty miles, at least twenty on horseback. We had decided to call ourselves 'Lord and Lady Churchill and party.' Lady Churchill passing as Miss Spencer, and Gen. Grey as Dr. Grey! Brown once forgot this, and culled me 'Your Majesty,' as I was getting into the carriage; and Grant on the box once called Albert 'Your Royal Highness; which set us elf laughing, buf,tio one observed it. "We bad along three hours' drive; it was 6 o'clock when we got into the carriage. We were soon out of the wood, and came upon the Bade noch road—passing close by Kinrara, but, unfor tunately, not through it, which wo ought to have done. It was very beautiful—fine wooded hills, the high Cairngorm range, and Bea Mulch Haul, unfortunately much obscured by the mist on the 'top, and the broad - Spey flowing in the valley, with cultivated fields and tine trees below. Most striking, however, on our whole long journey was the utter, and to me very refreshing, solitude. Hardly a habitation ! and hardly meeting a soul!! It gradually grew dark. We stopped at a small halfway house for the horses to take some water, and the few people about stared vacantly• at the two simple vehicles. "The mountains gradually disappeared; the evening was mild, with a few dropsof rain. On and on we went, till at length we saw lights, and drove through a long and straggling 'loan,' and turned down a small court to the door of the inn. Here we got out quickly, Lady Churchill and General Grey not waiting for us. We went up a small staircase, and were shown to our bedroom at the top of it—very small, but clean—with' a large four-post bed which nearly tilled the whole room. Opposite was the drawing and dining room in one—very tidy ,and well-sized. Then came the room where Albert dressed, which was very small. The two maids (Jane Shackle was with me) had driven over by another road in the wagonette, Stewart driving them. Made ourselves 'clean and tidy,' and then sat down to our dinner. Grant and Brown were to have waited on us, but were 'bashful' and did not. A ringletted woman did everything, and when dinner was over, removed the cloth and placed a bottle of wine (our own, which we had brought) on the table, with the glasses—which was the old English fashion. After dinner I tried to write part of this account (but the talking round confused me), while Albert played 'pa tience.' Then went away, to begin undressing, and it was about when we got to bed." "Wednesday, September sth. A misty, rainy morning. Had not slept very soundly. We got up rather early, and sat working. and reading in the drawing-room till the breakfast was ready. for which we bad to wait for some little time. Good ten, and bread and butter, and some ex cellent porridge. Jane Shackle (who was very useful and attentive) said they bad all supped to gether—namely, the two maids, and Grant, Brown, Stewart and Walkef(whe was still there) and were very merry in the 'commercial room.' The people were very amu sing about us. The woman came in while they were at their dinner, and said to Grant, `Dr. Grey wants you,' which nearly up set the gravity of all the others. Then they told Jane, 'Your lady gives no trouble;' and Grant in the morning calla up to Jane, 'Does his lordship want me?' One could look on the BIRO, which is a .very long, wide one, with detached houses, from our window. It was perfectly quiet, no one stirring, except here and there a man driving a cart, or a boy going along on his errand. Gene ral Grey bought himself a watch in a shop for .£2." TIM NEWARK STEAM 1111.45 if Further Particulars of the Invention. (From the Newark (N. J.) Advertiser, sub.]. Few men have -been_ more talked-of _ormon dered at during the past fortnight than Mr. Ded drick's steam man—certainly none in as short an existence have become so widely famous. Many persons incredulously , received the story of its creation, and ridiculed the idea of an iron man moved by machinery. Several accidents in ex perimenting- persuaded others that the project was only visionary, and, could never become an available power. A few practical', machinists, however, sympathizing with . Mr. Deddrick, were confident of success. Their hopes have been realized, and now the wonderful piece of mech anism, if it could but speak, would undoubtedly exclaim "Ilomo sum I"-'-The delays that.were ex perienced in introducing his majesty to the pub lic were occasioned by weakness of the knees, brought on perhaps by over excitement in view of the trial to which he was to be subjected. The old spiral springs which we described as being necessary , to throw the foot forward have been superseded by stronger ones, of snore sim ple construction. Yesterday steam was gene rated and he (or it?) performed to the entire sat isfaction of admiring friends. Last night a trial trip was made through Broad street, to Crump's garden, opposite Military Park, where the ma chine will be exhibited to the public during t coming week. Mr. Deddrick -has been aim as beseiged by the calls of the curious and floods of letters haze poured in from all parts of the coun try. A. crowd of Nowarkers, the day after the publi cation of the description of the invention in our columns, thronged thd"door-way and effectually darkened .the windows of the shop, threatening to deter the machinists from completing their work. A large United States flag which some enthusiastic individual has presented to the in ventor has been arranged so as to allow the "man ,' some privacy, and the beacigers are drop ping off in thou attentique. One day last week, a committee of five gentlemen from Albany called upon Mr. Deddriel, to decide a bet as to whether there was any reality in the thing, as it was thought by some that it was only a news 'paper hoax.- liearly , -liftrietters, asking for far ther information, have been received. Some con tain orders for men and propositions forjerrito rial rights for the manufacture and sale of them. A gentleman from Chicago thinks the affair is just what is needed for work upon the prairies ' and level lands of the West, . and proposes that Übe allowed "to walk to Chicago," as the sensa tion produced. would eclipie Weaton's in his pedestrian trip. Other parties make equally en couraging propositions. Some are exceedingly facetious. A person in Pennsylvania wants a male and female,that heiney stock his place. Among the letters are five from ladies pro tending to be in search of husbands. Ono gen tleman wants a lady made to order, but the in ventor ungallantly replied that as his creatures doviot talk he is doubtful whether a "WORtallt would' to a success. THE DAILY KUNING BULLETIN.-PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 21,1868. HEATING Or THE tiny COURT "HOUSE.—In the Select Council yesterday Mr. Bumm, Chalrlfian of the Committee on City Property, made the following report: "Your committee have carefully examined the subject of the supposed inadequate construction of the heaters in the now courtrhonse. The com mittee have examined the subject with exceed it g care. They find that the reason - the appa ratus did not, properly heat the building, as complained of by his Honor,Judge Brewster, was owing to the ignorance of party who had it in charge. When the attention of the makerS was called to the subject they at once placed a competent poison in charge of the fire, under whose management, since Jan. Ist, it has abundantly heated the entire, building, and has given ample satisfaction to the Judges, to the members of the Bnr, and to all who are concerned in the comfort of the rooms. It is due to the entire Court and to Judge, Brewster to say that they were not aware of te cause of the, defi ciency in the heat evolved, and they cheerfully say, with great pleasure, that they withdraw their former remonstrance against the apparatus, satisfied of its economy, efficiency and value." A resolution accepting the report of the Com mitts e was adopted. A WontAti 13Anix Bunruw.—Last night about half-past eleven o'eldtk a fire was disebvered in the second-story of No. 1025 South stfeek The building ie owned by John B. Liebaux, midroneu pied partly by him as a shoe store and dwelling. Some rooms are rented out. The second-story front room is occupied by Mary Jane Manes. She has been indulging pretty freely of late, and last night was very drunk. When the fire was discovered, she was found sitting 'on . the door with her clothes in flames. A wash-stand and table had been upset, and upon the floor were the fragments of a coal-oil lamp. The flames were speedily extinguished, but the woman was badly burned. She was conveyed to the Hospital.

ELECTRICITY AND OLOCK-WORlC—Electrielty, combined with clock-work, has been attempted both in Europe and this country, but never yet met with perfect success. We were yesterday shown a clock, 'which is worked entirely •by a current of electricity, in combination with per manent magnets, and which--is the nearest ap proach to "perpetual motion" that may ever be (fleeted. It is the invention of three of our fellow-townsmen, who are well known among electricians and clock-makers._ It will never got out of order. The clock hus two compartments, the lower and smaller of which contains a small battery, consisting of a pint and a half of sul phuric fluid, with zinc and platina. The only attention required during six months is to pour about a tablespoonful of this solution in the cup. There is no "winding up" or other causes for a disarrangement of the works. The upper compartment contains the mechanical and electrical machinery. The mechanical portion is surprising for its simplicity. The pendulum has an automatic china connector, so that when it swings to the right, the waive current, passing around the positive polariged magnet, repels it to the left, meeting . ' the negative current, which in turn, in connection with tIM negative polarized magnet, repels it back to the right, and so on, in uniform at d regular beat. - • The movement of the pendulum is registered tff very simple mechanism to drive the hands. The s patentees of this important invention (which seems destined to create a revolution in the clock business), Messrs. Kennedy, Holt and Gerlach. intend placing one of the clocks in the Merchants' Exchange Rooms during the next week. At pre sent it can be seen at No. 134 South Tenth street.
