new periodicals. The Rev. author whose benevolent inves tigations among the California .qhinrae hava done so much to spread a true idea of .their condition over the country, discourses In the AprU number of the Overland upon the sit nation of the women of that race who have strayed to our shores. This paper accounts for the generally poor character of the Chi nese femalcß in California by a variety of suggestions; the unwillingness of Chinese emigrants to bring their wiveß, the low con dition of female intelligence in Asia,the help lessness and difficulties of the women who have arrived, tho violences of Asiatic pirates, and the habit among the poor Chinese of , considering female children as an incum brance, and selling them to any irresponsible hurcbaser. At the same time he deprecates | our judgment of Chinese female honor and j virtue as inferior to our own; he insists that Chinese girls are edu- , cated at home with the utmost care in modest and retiring habits. He has a touching story of a wife braving the baas of caste and tempting the ocean alone to come and live with her husband in this country; and another of a wretched brother writing from the Shen Ling district a proclamation which has been posted in San Francisco, con taining a dark story of war, pillage, violence, and the committal of a pure girl to prostitu tion in America. From the factß contained •in this article it seems evident that the setting of Asiatic women on our coasts should be peremptorily forbidden; for they are sure to be of the order of victims, a Chinaman never bringing biß legal wife to this country, which he always means to quit as soon as possible. At, the same time there is, fortu nately, sufficient evidence of occasional virtne and undeserved misfortune among this class in California to enlist the sympathies of the good. We await the time when these Chinese articles from the Overland shall be gathered into a book; they would make a useful and enter taining collection of authentic evidence on a new subject. We cannot desoribe at length the various matters treated of in this well ventilated, wholesome and spicy magazine. It is simply irresistible. The pictures of life in foreign plaees, such as Panama, the Fiji Islands, the Texan Prairies, Montana, are more life-like than photographs, and more absorbing than the voyageß of Binbad. We can pay the Overland the compliment of de claring that no one of the monthlies to which our desk is habituated has become so much like a bad habit—so near, dear, pleasant and hard to part with.—Published by Roman & Co., San Francisco. The Journal of the Franklin Institute, for April, edited by Prof. Henry Morton, contains the usual variety of scientific infor mation, popularly treated; the editorial com pilation of Items and Novelties gives space to sixteen minor subjects in mechanics and natural science : Mr. Robert F. Fairthorne, in a letter to the Editor, describes a new cement or luting,invented by him, which wil' resist sulphuric, muriatic or nitric acid; this paste is made of silicate of soda and powdered E i» HH Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Mechanics, Physics, OhemUtry and Meteor ology, are severally treated in a number of esßays by variouß contributors, and Educa - tional Matters and the proceedings of the Institute are noted by the Editor : the num ber contains five wood-euts and four plates. There is always pith and strength in the numbers of The American Exchange and Review: among the extended articles in the May issue we find interesting accounts of Wine in the East, the Fiji Islanders, and the Revelations of the Spectroscope. The de partment of Mining and Metallurgy, ably edited by Dr. OBborn, of Lafayette College, contains the latest discoveries and news; and the departments of Insurance, Money, Trans •vjjprtation, snd Arts and Patents, severally : embody information that can hardly be found 80 well digested elsewhere. This is a Review that one cannot take up without lighting on something that one has not thought of before. It is published by Fowler and Moon, . r >t'i Chestnut street The New Eclectic for May has a portrait of Berthold Auerbach, the same as that pub lished in Leypoldt’s edition of his current novel. It continues this author’s exquisite romance of “Little Barefoot,” and likewise presents another instalment of Trollope's “Phineas Finn.’’ The essays are the best and latest that have appeared in the whole periodical press, including the Eaglish Re views, the Overland Monthly , Appleton's Journal , aDd even tne Ration; with trans lations irom French authorities, and Die Oartenlaube: the selected book-notices, mißcellany, and all the short clippings are alwayß the best of their kind, and very fresh.

The competition for the better specimens offered was frequently quite brisk, and the prices obtained were generally good. A “Street in Dieppe,” by Maroy of Paris, about 8 by 14 inches, brought $6O; “A Cha teau near Macon,” by J. B. Hubert, about 12 inches square, sold for $33; “liob Roy” — small—by De Keyser of Antwerp, brought $4O; and a Frencn smuggling boat, by Le Bas of Paris, the same price. “Telling For tunes,” a little group by Ferdinand Marohn, sold for $42; a view of Arquille Verte, Gha mouny, by Hedwig Calmelet, brought $120; “The Three Ages,” by Rocco, about 8 by 10 inches, sold for $100; a group of flowers by Francois Rivoire, about 12 by 20 inches, brought $i8o; “The Bonfire,” by Edouard FriSre, about 10 by 12 inches, commanded $l6O, and a small head of an Italian girl, by Seth Chevey of Boston, brought $l6O. —Among the American artists in London few are exciting more attention among the critical, by their works, than Mr. George Boughton, who has already gained a good re putation in both countries by the freshness and originality with which he managed to treat so old a subject as the Pilgrims Lauding at Ply mouth. Those who enjoyed a sight of that will be glad to learn tnat Mr. Boughton has just completed, tor the Royal Academy Ex hibition in May, a large picture, founded on some lines by Longfellow describing Standish and his men, led by a friendly Indian, going ' forth to intercept the savage warriors who meant to attack them. Thoße who have been to Plymouth will recognize at once in the environment the long level beach beneath the rising ground which the pilgrims are about to ascend. The settlement itself 1 is out of sight. The eea, sky, sand and dis -1 tant wood, cloudlike in the misty distance, comprise the entire scenery of the piece. Tnere is no green leaf, and nothing nearer a flower than the brown and yellow lichens on a rock in the foreground. Yet there is a certain tenderness in the light pervading the picture. The Work is remarkable for its nobie simplicity and its moral impressive ness. Here are a dozen Saxon men in homely gray garb, the only signs of humanity againßt the misty white of sea and sky in the back ground, with whom destiny marches. There is no fine military array, no glitter of armor, no proud flag; only a few hardy men on a lone beach who look to the immediate business in hand, and have not the slightest notion of I cutting a figure in history, or on the walls of j exhibitions. This is the way destiny moves, i so slowly on the unobserved landmarks ! which kings and peers paBB by to be treasured at last by Art and Ro mance. Only in the strong, determined i faces of Blandish and his men do you discern i the vast historic distance from which the j little procession has come. From an artistic | point of view one finds the artist's felicitous ; tact in the fine color which he has got for the ! Puritan group, which would naturally be of sombre costume, by depicting the red skin aDd savage trappings of the half-nude Indian who leads them, and constitutes the most prominent figure. This lithe fellow is a model Indian, the perfection of animal repose and strength. The whole is a work which might almost reverse the saying of Goethe, i that no young man can be a master, because youth cannot have repose. The sincerity and 1 iruth which characterize the paintings of this young American artist are visible in every \ part of a work which several connoisseurs i have already pronounced one of which Ame • ricans may be proud. Mr.Boughton has also prepared for the Exhibition a very charming ! picture of peasants in-Brittany worshipping at a wayside crucifix, on which are bound small bunches of wheat, to indicate thankful ness for the harvest. Death ol a Vencruale Bostonian. Mr. Samuel Krolhlngham died calmly, as one falls asleep from the pleasant weariness of a long journey, yesterday afternoon, at the resi dence of his son-in-law, Rev. Chandler Robbins, D. D. He will be remembered by a few as en gaged for a short lime in mercantile pursuits; by more as ilie Cashier of the United Slateß Branch Bank in this city; and by a still larger number as President of the Slate Bank; and all who remem ber him in the days of his activity will bear wit ness to his ability, his unswerving integrity, and bis conscientious devotion to every duly. 'His i urly manhood and his maturity were marked by quietness und efficiency, free from all ostentation, seeking only to be prompt, diligent und thorough in the discharge of all his obliga tions to the community, nls friends and his family. When, after a period of faithful serving ® and well-earned prosperity and enjoyment, he was visited by the severest of bereavements,bowed by It firuiity and stricken wild blindness, he was found e qnal in the strength of bis faith and tho hopefulness of bis affections to the long hoars of feebleness, durkness und trial.

Second —Every uninhabited dwelling and every inhabited dwelling where a white flag Is andis playcd, will bo reduced to ashes. Third —All women away from their houses will come to Bayamo or Jlguari, or they will be brought by force. The proclamation is dated at Bayamo, April 4. Havana, April 28, via Ket West, iprll 2‘J.— The second battalion of volnnteers, commanded by Colonel Zeulula, and forming tbe garrison of Fort Cabana; in tile harbor of Havana, having refused to obey an order for tbe release of a prisoner, Gen. Dulce and Btaff were obliged to proceed to the fort In full uniform. To effect a change in the disposition, the Captain-General made an address to the volnnteers, when they suffered the prisoner to depart under an escort of government troops. This action ol the volnnteers has occasioned great Indignation, on the part of the public, and threats are made against the Second Battalion In caec they lay down their arms, which is not, how ever, anticipated. The revolution in tbe Eastern Department Is training strength. The Spanish troops In that portion ol the island arc suffering greatly from eickncss.
