The cheap and neat edition of Charles Reade’s novels is, already swelled to lour vol umes, each, containing one story in a form at «nce handy and' handsome. Two addi tlohal volumes are just out, “Never too Late fo'Mend,” and “Love Me Little, Love Me Long..”' The former contains Mr. Reade,’s. fievere strictures on prison-discipline, as wel' Bsan absorbing delineation of gold-mining and general manners in Australia. The second is enriched by his best study of female cha racter, the cool, polished, but lovely LHcy Fountain. The books, we believe, are as math as we shall ever get for a dollar. They are perfectly elegant, clean and genteel. The industrious editor of Childs's Lite - rary Gazette has discovered the main facts of Mr. Reade’s life. Our readers will be glad to get even a paragraph of biography about a writer who shows no ambition to have his photographs and history hawked among the shops! As there naturally is some ouriosity re specting an author so gifted and popular, and as not much is known on that head in this country,we shall here state some facts which it may gratify our readers to leans’ Charles Reade, Dorn in 1814, is the youngest son of the late Mr. John Reade, of Ipsden House, Oxfordshire, England. He became what is called a Demy of Magdalen College in the University of Oxford, and, in due course, was elected a Fellow of that College—the average emoluments of that office being estimated at some $2,000 a year, with a set of rooms rent free. It is held for hie, or until the fellow pleases to reßign it; as was done] by Lord Macaulay, who was a Fellow of Trinity Col lege, Cambridge, when he went to India, officially charged with the duty of helping to construct a code of laws for that country. In moßt instances a Fellow of a (College forfeits his station on marriage. A certain number are exempt from taking Holy Orderß, and are lay-fellows. In 1848, then being twenty-nine years old, Mr. Reade was called to the bar by “The Honorable Society of Lincoln’s Inn.” He has not followed up the profession of the law, preferring that of letters. His first avowed work was “ Peg Woffington,” published in 1852. His “Christie Johnstone,” a charming Scotch story, ap peared in 1853. These indicated a great deal of talent, and the author's prestige was con firmed by “Never too Late to Mend,” a novel in three volumes, which dealt witu the great social question of reforming criminals. This Was published in 1856, and created a great sensation. In 1857 appeared “The Course of ; True Love,” followed by “Jack of • All; Trades” and “White.. Lies" in 1858; “Love Me Little, Love Me Long,” in 1859; and “The Cloister and the Hearth,” of which a mere sketch, afterwards expanded to a large work, appeared in Once a Week in 1861. It contained a faith ful representation of domestic life in the ages preceding those known as “the dark,” and had Erasmus for its hero. “Hard Cash, a Matter of Fact Romance,” was published in All The 1 ear Hound in 1863, and “Grif fith Qaunt, or Jealousy,” in a London maga zine in 1860. Last of all, he produced “Foul Play,” last year, in conjunction with Mr. Boucicault, who, however, contributed to that remarkable work not much more than a Tew suggestions and parts of two or thrae isolated scenes. Besides the above works,he _has produced some others of minor import ance, and has occasionally contributed to the English periodicals. NATURAL SCIENCE. *TDE NEWLY-RESTORED SAURIAN AT THE Al'A - I)BUT OE SCIENCES —THE FAUNA OF THE HALIDONFIELD MAULS. We are glad to have at length, from the competent pen of Prof. I. P. Lesley, a full description of the discoveries made by Mr. Foulke in the marl pits of New Jer aey, and especially of the gigantic saurian which enters into geologic history designated by his name. Our quotations from Prof. Lesley’s memorial will have the double effect of interesting our readers with a graphic piece ofnarration,and of setting right any erroneous statements in paragraphs of inferior authority which may have been clipped for our col umns. Prot Lesley's account is as follows: Mr. Foulke’s name is forever joined with one of the most remarkable discoveries in Palaeontology, that of the huge Saurian of the Cretaceous rocks of New Jersey,the Hadro tmtrva Foulkei; and to a new shell, the Corlula Foulkei, found in the same stra tum. The history of this discovery is given m lull in the proceedings of the Academy of , J? 18 ' Bcicnceß of Philadelphia, under date of December I4ih, 1858; and it need not here ' n . detaiL It illustrates, how ever, his capacity for that persevering and in telligent research, to which modern science owes its triumphs, too well to be pissed over With a mcTe verbal allusion. 0 country house ’ pmi* ; t ; rK(iy ’ & bout six miles 1 ftru ttd u phia ’ ia the summer and autuipn of 1858.

It was 119 easy matter to find the.pit* itself; and] alter it had " been found, many trials must be made to identify the ex act; place where ;bpuea had been discovered. At last success crowned] the undertaking, ) : la the. west, wall of the pit r under eight feet of surface rock, lay a thin stratum of decom posed shells, and two feet beneath this another, in and on which were found a pile of monstrous bones, enveloped in the tough, lenaceous, bluish marl,from which they were carefully extricated with a knife and trowel, drawings and measurements being made of each bone where it lay,to prevent embarrass ment in the study. Wrapped in coarse cloth and straw, they were despatched to the Mu seum of ibe Academy. * The animal specimen thus discovered is unique. No other like it has ever been en countered, either in the New World or the Old, although hundreds of bones have been annually turned out from the marl pits of the Atlantic seaboard. Most of these bones, it is true, have been reburied, or destroyed, through ignorance of their scientific value; and there is no knowing how many skeletons of Hadrosaurus might have been secured. But as yet this is the only one; and we owe its acquisition to the scientific cultivation of one, who was prevented from running a bril liant career in Bpecial science only by the philosophic scope of his whole life, and the ohedieneewhich.Le.o.w.edtoother duties. The creature was an immense herbivorous saurian, with huge hind legs and very small arms, a veritable crocodilian kangaroo, as large as an elephant, and as tall as a giraffe. One of the highest living authorities, Profes sor Huxley, has just published his opinion that we have in this and other allied Dinosau rian forms a synthetic type between the rop tiles and the birds. The Hadrosaurus may have been amphibious in its hao its. Its long lacertian tail and the strocture of its feet suggest aquatic habits; but when on shore it must have walked in a measure erect, like struthous birds, or have leaped like the batrachians. When feeding it must have made a tripod of its hind legs aod tail, grasping with its short fore legs the branches, on the leaves or fruit of which it browsed, of some kind of ever green; for all the specimens of wood found embedded with it proved, on microscopic examination, to be coniferous. How its carcuss came to lie upon a bed of shells, interspersed with these chunks of wood is hard to explain. The shells were of forty- two different species, and some of them so fragile and yet so uninjured,the most tender and delicate forms showing no trace of abraßion, and the two valves of all the bi valves being still together, that the water in which they lived must have been either per fectly protected from the winds, or else pro foundly deep. The marl itself is sufficient evidence of the stoppage of all the currents carrying the sand. We might therefore sup pose a bog—or lagoon—or archipelago deposit. But this supposition is opposed by the great geographical extent of the Middle Cretaceous Formation, from New York to New Orleans ana Cairo; and by the uniform composition of the mineral, and uniform thickness of the stratum. * * * Where was the forest in which this strange creature browsed? What was the river down which his dead body floated? Where ran the shores of the sea in the marl of which he sank? Why were his bones not destroyed before the sediment conld cover them? How high were the Germantown hills in that Cre taceous era? And what was the Gulf Stream doing? How far may the dip of the visible strata carrry out the marl beneath the Atlan tic seaboard? What has given this almoßt imperceptible and yet universal southeast in clination to all the Cretaceouß and Tertiary Formations of the Tide Water border of our Continent? These, and other questions like them, are worthy of the sleepless thought of our geologists. But a prolonged discussion of whether the facies of the fauna of the Haa donfield marls is enough like the faoies of the fauna of the Blackdown Greensand of Fit ton, or tho Cenomanien of D'Orbigny’e enu meration, to establish the Synchronism of their deposition, seems almost puerile, as we know lhat every region has its different fauna at the present moment Such questions may do to exercise the observations of young geologists and stimulate their classifications. But trained and experienced thinkers will busy themselves with far more difficult and delicate questions, until the settlement of which our science will continue to wear too much the semblance of a-watch-case without the works. It was chiefly because of his in terest in such questions that Mr. Foulke never engaged in the determination of specific forms. His mind waß philosophic in the largest and highest sense, and loved to deal with questions of the most comprehensive reach: while he felt all the importance of ac curacy in delails, and the genuineness of fun damental data. But he was especially in spired by the progress of Human Knowledge; and many an hour he spent discussing its steps ano stages in the history of the past, its lines of movement now, and the indications of Its future course. ’ Mr. Hawkins is well known for his admirable pa lieontological restorations in the grounds of the Sy deT-ham Palace, lie is at present working ont,in the Maieum ol ibe Academy at Philadelphia,similar resto rations of Amei Pan extinct monsters, for the Central Park «t New York.

At the meeting of the members ol ihe Academy called to-day toexamiue the liniHhed monniiug and to listen to Mr. llawkius's description of the parte, Dr Leldy, In behalf of tlie Curators of tbe Academy, accepted ihe gift, returned thanks to Mr, Hawkins, and described the discovery of the bones. He gave greut praise to Mr. Foulke for the re* olution with whicn he pushed forward his re searches, after" having been advised Lhat there was good reason for believing that any bones discoverable would probi bly be ihoee of mammoth, several skele tons ofwhi<h had been found in marl pits in New Jer sey. Ab the b"Dcs of Hfidrosaurus which were found were those of the left side of tbe animal, ou which it lay, it is probable that th« lon boues, found twenty years previously, hrd beeu those of the right side, to gether wiih the missing v.-riebne and skull.) SOCIAL PENALTIES. The pressure of Boclety upon the individual is, and must always remain, one of the most important subjects of the anxiety of men who study the conditions of human progress. In excess it plainly leads to the most pernicious results, by stifling those eccentric growths of opinion and feeling out of which new and im proved forms have to be taken and shaped by a process akin to that of natural selection among species, and without which the exi gencies of circumstances must infallibly out strip the means of satisfying them; and eo a confused kind of despair grows np in the minds, and stagnation in the habits, of men. On the other hand, a deficiency in this pres sure leads to evilß hurdly, if at all, less griev ous than thuße which come of its excess. That everybody should ba legally at liberty to follow his own will in the few purely self regarding kinds of action, and in all matters of feeling and opinion, is a maxim which needs no comment nor confirmation either in England or in any other country which has taken its ideas upon law from English institutions. Thus much is a clearly proven piece of wisdom which no English or American lawgiver is at all likely to overlook. Tbe law, we may be quite sure, will never repair any neglect "oh the part of the community to punish dissent from the ruling and accepted ideas ot the lime. But is there no (hiDger of this neglect occurring? no danger of there springing up largely an indif ference to the claims ot accepted maxims of conduct, an under-estimate of the value of social nccaid, a passionate readiness of self bEßcrtion, a foolish, thoughtless, aud in cer tain conditions of temper, a malignant con- tempt for the advantagea-which the aoeiftl unlbn confers even upofi;tlibBe who have.taost diverged from tho beliefa which have been chiefly instrumental in binding our modorn Bsciety together ? If' this be .' so, 'andthere are some, wise i oh-, servers who profess toentertain ap prehensions in this direction, then it is cer - tain that the penalties which society—that is to say, the majority of the circle to which a man belongs —has it in its -power to iufllct have lost their efficacy as deterrents, and that a growing number of per sons are less and. less moved by fear of them.: It is.worth while to put this in another way, perhaps? that the pleasures which society has to offer, and its prizes, and everything else, have lost their attractions for many minds, so that to be deprived of them counts for less than it might do, or than it used to do. People of a certain sort, and that hardly the lowest sort either, venture to encounter the disapproval of sets and circles to which they belong, because their approval brings no consequences tbat they are capable ol holding dear. In other words, opinion has not moved equally over the face of society. One portion of the world has pushed on or aside, while the rest has re mained stationary and fixed in a little narrow circle of ideas, pursuits, and pastimes, which the others have outgrown. The.stiffening of social forms, the ever-growldg rigidity of etiquelte6,tlro’'multiplicatfair-orfssbionable Bhibboleths of speech and/thought and habit —all thiß means the voluntary, self-exclusion of a good many people of independent humor from a life which cramps, restrains, and infi nitely wearies 1 them. : And the striking thing is, as we have just hinted, that those who flout society, and re treat to rural hermitages, dr shut themselves up in solitary chambers—or else, while feign ing solitude, enjoy companionships unrecog nizable by drawing-rooms—are not by any means people of the lowest sort, either in in telligence, aspiration, position, or general social good-will. They are no mauvais bvjcta, out-at-elbows, insolvent, inveterate foes to the minor courtesies, hostile to the tailed coat. On the contrary, in all these things they are found blameless. Tneir bills are paid, their clothes well-made, their linen good, their salutation and accost beyond reproach. Neither, again, are they as a rule mere cynics. It is not because they despise life, and its enormous tasks and tiny accom plishments, that they save themselves (to use a French idiom) from the lavorite haunts of the majority ot their fellows; ralher because they esteem life too precious to be given away to folly and griev ous hollowness. It is probably inevitable that a little tolly and a great deal of hollow ness should grow into communities that are very large, very rich, and, from their uumel lowed age and fundamental constitution, very artificial. But the inevitable is still very ot ten that to which the best minds least easily reconcile themselves. This or that may be no more than the necessary result of conditions which no mortal man can repair or much modify; yet we like it just as little, and are just as little ready to Bubmit ourselves to its burden. .Pence, the more unavoidable yon Bhow the artificiality of society to be, not the less but the more are people whom artifici alily revolts disposed to turn their backs on the scene, and seek simplicity in solitude or else in a clique. It is quite true that in neither of these two resortß are they sure of fiDdmg what they seek, for the solitary and reserved man not seldom becomes as artificial in his own way as the dweller in coarts and hingß’ houses, while in small cliques artifi ciality in one shape or other is pretty sure to have a place, and little circles of people with some special aim or principle to bind them together are notoriously apt to develop a canting phraseology, an esoteric mannerism, a half-pious affectation,compared with which the mannerism and affectation of Fop’s Alley or the Belgravian rout actually smell of Ar cadia and the green fields. For all this,how ever, there is rather a feeling abroad that the true so cial penalties are what are currently styled social joys. To be invited to a great number of drawing-rooms is a worse fate than to be excluded from them. To be patronized by a great host of, men and women for your merits is to have 4 more evil thing befal you than if you had been cut by them for your sins. A wise man might consent never to be invited out to dinner, if the alternative were the position oi a frequent diner-out. It may be said, with reason, that the so called plea sures which society places at the feet of those whom it delightelh to honor are not particu larly pleasurable in themselves, but are the outward and visible signs of a high esteem and creditable repute among men. The weakest part of this con-’ eolation to the temporary idol of those who distribute social prizes is that he secs them bestowed, far more steadily and lavishly than upon himself, on the mob of the men tally rag-tag and bobtail who fringe dinner tables and drawing-rooms. If to be taken much notice of, to have many cards on one’s manllepiece, to dine at maDy boards, aad stand in many crowded saloons and ou many crammed staircases, be in truth outward signs of social grace, how comes it that they are still more conspicuous in those on whom we would rather have looked for a brand, or the mark of the beast ? This is one of the maDy trains of reflection which are leading some men to a forward and audacious con tempt for the worst penalties which the ogre of society is able to inflict on the self-pos sessed person. It is sufficiently obvious how powerful an instrument for the coercion of nnreasonable whimsicalities and unseasonable manifesta tions of an eccentric and inexpedient person ality is thus thrown away. If the pleasures of social intercourse were more carefully thought about, and more wisely organized, then every body who had not been born a Di ogenes—and the character is mostly artificial —would take as much pains as he could-to avoid breaking with a body that had so much to give him, and so much to snatch away from him. It would be a great misfortune, both for the individual and for society, if blandishments and social joys were to trip men up in the conscientious search after truth and elevation of character, or in frank and manly expression. But there is nothing either discreditable to a man or dangerous to anybody else in a certain strong re luctance to offend the opinion or feeling of people about him, with whom he is ac enstomed to live, and to whom he owes much obligation. If occasion arises when it is above all thingß expedient that some person or doctrine should be smitten hip and thigb, then the unanimous verdict of the best per sons that have ever lived testifies to the need of sacrificing this rightful considerateness to what happens at the time to be the more binding duty of proclaiming a truth or vehe mently protesting against an error. But the temper of our day perhaps attributes some thing too much of a merit to the discovery of discrepancies between oneself and the bulk of one’s neighbors. Men, and especially women, think lesß than they did, or than per haps it Is well that they should think, of flying in the face of old and decent usage. They too often leave tbe beaten track, not pained at the pain which their divergence gives to worthy souls to whom they owe many a debt, but rather as an army with banners,victorious andjubb lent. They too often shake off the old things, not with a touch of regret at parting with what has served generation after generatioirof good people, but as clever' men who have found out a trick and an imposture.. Thera may he many causes for .such a humor,, and one of them ia tho disregard into which so V„ ciety has brought such pains and penalties>9 fit has,tO use. But thlß, after jail, is only re*, 'moving the difficulty a step farther back. Why have" the social sanctions grown so comparatively inefficient? Why are average social pleasures so slight, and the depriva tion of them so little felt? It must be that the world has grown so big, there is Buch ample room and variety,that men have widor choice of societies than they have in simpler days and among more primitive communi ties. i A man must be a decided villain to be universally tabooed, and on the other hand there are not many forms ol: eccentricity which he can choose to play at in which he will fall to find playmates; and, if he has-' any just force of character, it will be no drawback to tbe pleasures which their companionship confers upon him that they are not tho vapid and monotonous pleasures of that lofty, but far from exhaustive section which calls itself the world. Seen in this light, the complaint of the decay of tho efficacy of the social pen alty does not come to very much; it only im plies thatthere is no longer anything like a single and 'Suifqrm tribunal for that sort of divergency to which the complaint usually refers. Out of the track of acts and opinions which universal common sense holds to be peßlilont and wili not-tolerate on any., terms, a_ man may defy the opinion of one set of people in the just confidence that he is secure of the approval of some other set. There is scarcely anybody in the world, and certainly not any body worth taking into account, who is not responsible to Borne social tribunal or o.ther; only in Cur modern society these tribunals are vastly numerous—whether too numerous and too individualized for the perfect health of the body politic,only very wonderful philoso phers indeed can positively decide. — Satur day Review.

R. Cp CENTRAL PAOIEIC R. B. CO This great enterprise is approaching completion with a rapidity that astonishes tho world. Over fifteen (1600) hundred mites have been built by two (2) powerful com panies; tUe Union Pacific Railroad, beginning at Omaha, building west, and tbd Central Pacific Railroad, begin* ning at Bacramento, and building east, until the two roads shall meet Lees than two hundred and fifty miles remain to be built Tho greater part of the interval is now graded. and : itis reasonably expected that tho through connection between Ban Francisco and Now Y ork will he completed by July h Ab the amount of Government aid pendent upon the length of road each shall build, both companies ore prompted to great efforts to secure the construction and. control of what, when completed, will be one and the only grand Railroad Line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. One Hundred and Ten Million Dollars (8110,000,000) in money h&yo already been expended by tho two powerful companies engaged in this great enterprise, and they will speedily complete the portion yet to be built. When the United States Government found it necessary to secure the construction of tho Pacific Railroad, to develop and protect its own interesMt gave the companies authorized to build It such ample aid as should render its speedy completion beyond a doubt The Government aid may bo briefly summed up as follows: First—The right of way and all necessary timber and stone from public domain. Second—lt makes a donation of 12,0)0 acres of land to the mile, which, wheu tho road is completed, will amount to t Acntr-tUreo million (23 000,000) acres, and all of It w ithin twenty (20) miles of the railroad. Third—lt loans the companies fifty million dollars (860,000.000), for which it takes a second lien. The Government has already loaned b he Union Pacific K&Uroad twenty-four million and fifty-eight thousand dollars (824,058.000). and to the Central Pacific Railroad seventeen million six hundred and forty-eight thousand dollars (617.fi48.000), amounting in ali to forty-one million seven hundred and six thousand dollars ($41,706,000). The Companies are permitted to Usue their own First Mortgage Bonds to the samo amount as they receive from the United States, and no more. Tho companies have sold to permanent investors about ($4O 000,000) forty mil lion dollars of their first Mortgage Bauds. The com. panice have already paid in (including net earnings not divided, grants from State of California, aud Sacramento city and ban Francisco), upwards of ($26,000,000) twenty five million dollars of capital stock. In considering this question it must be remembered that all tho remaining iron to finish the road (a contracted fer. and the largest portion paid for and now delivered on the ltne of the Union Pacific Railroad and the Central Pacific Railroad, and that the grading is almost finished. WHAT RESOURCES HAVE THE COMPANIES TO FINISH THE RI9AD T Find—They will receive from tho Government os the road progresses about 83,000,000 additional. Second-They can issue their own First Mortgage Bonds for about $9,000,000 additional. Third—The companies now hold almost all the land they have up to this lime received from the Government; upon the completion of the road they will have received in ail 23,000,000 acres, which at 81 60 per acre would be worth $84,600 OOg.

Tbe Bcmalni of fOn, Surratt. A Washington despatch says that the President issued an order,'yesterday morning, for tho de livery of the remains of Mrs. Snrratt to Father Walter, of St. Patrick's Church, of this city, and yesterday afternoon, at three o’clock, that gentle man, In company with Mr. Townc, and Harvey & Marr, undertakers, proceeded at once to the Arsenal, and the remains were disinterred. Im mediately after the execution,. Mrs. Surratt's re mains, with those of Payne, Harold and Atzerodt, executed at the same time, were placed in boxes, and interred in graves near the scaffold, her body being at the north end of the row and the others adjoining her remains in the same order named above. The body of Booth was also bu rled near there, that is,inside the old Penitentiary building,near the main door of the warden’s resi dence. Tbe body of Wirz, tbe ADdersonvllle jailor, was placed in the yard adjoining tho body ot Atzerodt. A wooden fence was erected around the graves, and a wooden head board, with the name of the person buried below, placed at each grave. In tbe fail of 1867, when the demolition of the Peniten tlary building was determined on,it be came necessary to remove the bodies, ana they were buried in the warehouse known as No. 1, the second building below tbe principal office, tbe bodies being plaeed under the flagging. Mrs. Sur ratt’s was laid next to tbo north wall of the build ing. and the otbere adjoining, in tbe following order: Poyno, Harold, Atzerodt, Wirz,and Booth. There the bodies of nil have remained until yes terday. The coffin, when lifted, was in tolerable condition, and when opened the remains were fonnd to be in an excellent state of preservation. Tbe face, though black, was yet perfect in feature, and tbe whole body compact and firm. The dress looked well, and the gaiter shoes appeared to be not tho least soiled. Upon tbe day of her execu tion her daughter Annie, who visited her, took from her bonnet a steel arrow and stuck it upon her mother's dress, close up to the neck, which remained where \l hod been placed by the daughter: Tbe bottle, with the name of Mrs.Sor ratt written upon apiece of parchment within, was also in the coffin, and without shifting anything the coffin was placed in the undertaker's wagon and driven to Mount Olivet Cemetery, where the remains were transferred to a handsome walnut coffin, and then placed in the vault until to-day. AnDie Snrratt, her brother Isaac, a lady friend of the family, Father Walter and Mr. Towne, will be present at the funeral, which takes place to morrow; at two and a half o'clock. It lslntendcd that tho interment shall be conducted with the strictest privacy, and with the exception of the undertaker and tboso mentioned, none others will be present. TUe Insurrection in Cuba. Havana, Feb. B.— A band of lnßnrgenle, whose numbers aro unknown, have mado their appear ance at the town of Camarones,on the line of the railroad between Cienfoegos and Villa Clara. A detachment of troops have marched against them. A panic pro vails in Cienfnezos,and many families have fled from the town, fearing the in surrection will spread to that district, and have arrived in this city, Fort Cabanos, which guards the place, is gar risoned only by a battalion of volunteers, and a force of regulars has been despatched to reinforce them. The Diario, in its account of the outbreak at Camarones,states that the first act of the rebels was to destroy a section of the railroad botween Clenfuegos and Villa Clara. The same paper ac knowledges that the situation in this quarter is very grave. Much excitement has been created in Havana by versions, more-or less exaggerated, of events in the Central Department. An approach of the revolution to the vicinity of Clonrngoes, which is the'centre of a large planting district, is ex pected to cause a rise in the sugar market. Sev eral attempts have been made in the Vaelta Aba jo region, and the first and fifth battalions of vo luntcers are under orders to proceed to that point to provent the renewal of disorders. Strangers continue to arrive at various points on the coast, supposed with the intention of joining the revolutionists. Many have been ar rested on suspicion. The government has chartered several steam ers, and is preparing some mcn-of-war and light draught steam launches to soil to Roman Keys and prevent the expected disembarkation of an expedition from Nassau, and when that is ac complished, the flotilla will proceed to attack the earthworks which the insurgents have erected at La Guanasa. The rebels recently assembled at Managua to the number of three hundred, They were at tackedby the troops, according to official report, were defeated, losing all their arms and ammuni tion, and eleven prisoners. Alex. M. Bu krill, whose death occurred in Newark, on Sunday, wob well known to the members of the legal profession, as the author of Burr ill's Law Dictionary, Burrlll’s Practice, Bur rill on Circumstantial Evidence, and Burrill on Assignments, works extensively found in the li braries of lawyers, especially in Now York, where he resided during the whole active period of his life. Mr. B. was graduated at Columbia College, in the city of New York, In 1824, at the age of 17 years, and although the youngest member of the class, he received tho highest honor, tho ap pointment to deliver the Latin oration at the Commencement of that year. Mr. B. was a fine classical scholar, and was remarkable for pre cision abd nice discrimination In the use of lan guage. The definitions of moro.than a thousand words in Worcester’s Dictionary aro credited by that lexicographer to Mr. Barrlll. Chancellor Kent, in whose office Mr. B. pursued his studios for several years, pronounced’ him one of the. most leaned young lawyers with whom ho had ever been acquainted. —Karl Formes has turned actor, and will make his first .appearanco in Liverpool, in tho character of Bhylock, at tho Theatre Royal, on the 20th of March next. ~ —The Columbus (Georgia) Sun genially say s: ‘‘Wo take it that Edwards, the luiotic and, in ebriated vagrant who represents this district,djog. enjoyed a lucid Interval.
