''Vi, HEW PUBLICATIONS. ■Parliamentary Law is admirably expounded by the present Secretary of the Senate of In diana, Mr. O. M. Wilson, Esq., in his Digest, the second edition of which was lately issued by Kay & Brothers, of this city. .In a compass not too extensive, Mr. Wilson prints the text of the United States Constitution, and a his tory of its adoption, amendments, &e.; the Digest proper occupies tlrreo hundred pagos, and cites an infinity of those precedents in the government of the English Parliament on y*Wch our Lex Partiamentaria principally de pends. The English authorities which lay ■ down the law for the House of Commons are individually voluminous.tliough few; not many have ever attempted to classify the enormous and confused mass of ‘ inconsistent examples from which that law must be distilled/ The skilful baud that saves the American Senator, or legislator from the turning over of these 'weighty yet unprofitable authorities is certainly a friendly one. And the universal intelligent attention with which, in this country, the in habitants watch the proceedings of their legis latures or congresses, and the care with which they need, to carry down parliamentary rules into their local organizations and debates, wall make this digest a handy reference for every public-spirited person. We are not surprised ■that editions are multiplying. To many in this city the fact that Mr. Frederick C. Brightly gives the digest his unreserved commendation, will he a sufficient-'testimony to its legal merit and reliability. . “ American Commercial Law, relating to every kind of business; with full instructions and practical fonns, adapted to' all the States of the Union.” Mr. Franklin Chamberlin, of the United States Bar, in an octavo of nearly a thousand pages, comes up handsomely to the assistance of the business man, citizen and legislator with a clear explanation of the course of American law in every department of trade, together with appropriate formulas of all kinds. His book is wiitteu on the. unassailable theory that in a country like ours, where every man is or may soon be a public man, an acquaintance with commercial law ht least, if not with crim inal law, is a necessary preparation for good citizenship and wise legislation. The book under review treats of such matters as the powers and limits of Agents; what is neces sary to make Agreements binding, with a dozen forms; Sales; Liens and other claims upon estate; liow to confirm gifts; of nego tiable and non-negotiable mercantile Paper; of Partnership; of Corporations, with many useful forms; Insurance of every kind, very fully treated;.of Arbitration; of Bankruptcy; of the various valid Titles; of the lien of mort gages ; of the relations of Landlord and Tenant, and those of Husband and Wife ; of Parents, Huardiaris, Apprentices; of Wills; of the pub lic rights on the highway; and a full explana tion of the general subject of patent and copy rights and the privilege of Trade-marks. The 'book seems to he expressed throughout with fulness and clearness for the ordinary non jprpfessioua] reader, who will doubtless find that the possession of it will save tlie cost many times over in legal advice. This conve nient compendium is published by O: D. Case & Co., Hartford. Philadelphia .agents, Par melee & Co. Of showy hooks suitable foi holiday presents and not too dear, we would instance “Bible' Lyrics,” by Rev. John A. Murray, an attempt, often very successful, to Versify Bible passages, or transfer their native lyric quality into modern metres. The illustrations are worthy of attention, as developing the process of copy / ing, by the Osborne photo-lithographic method, the great plates of Dores Bible into pictures a little smaller but otherwise identical. By.this process every line is preserved, though every one is roughened, with some loss of tone and beauty ; still, the copies retain Dores. energy and opulence almost unimpaired, and carry this work up to an eminence hardly reached by any of the strictly original illustrated books of the season. Parmelee & Co. sell it, the publisher being C. F. Vent, of Cincinnati. The “Bible Looking-Glass” is a book of quaint religious emblems, often enforced with strange old Wood-cuts or cheaply daubed de signs of an allegorical character; much of the letter-press is anecdotal, and quite contradicts our familial' idCa that, a parable must' neces sarily be in antique garb. The author or editor and illustrator, is Mr. John Warner Barber, an engraver of New Haven, who is a character in his way: he says he has been assured that his figurative print, “A Miniature of the World in the Nineteenth Century,” has been tlie human means ofturning “several” to the path of salva tion; his “Voyage of Human Life,” not quite so artistic as that by Thomas Cole, but doubtless yaite as inventive, appeals to us equally adapted to lead sinners of a certain class up to the mys tic Triangle which blazes in the sky over the bald crown of the pilgrim. The book is made up of several parts, and is one of such miscel laneous contents that we think something new might he lighted upon in it, on , any wet Sun day, by the most determined reader, alter no matter lioW many years’ possession of the treasure. Published by Howe's Subscription Book concern, Cincinnati, and sold by Parmelee &Co. “ Women of the Bible” is the title of an elegant solid octavo volume, in which the careers of twenty-seven ot the principal heroines of Jewish and Christian history aro described in reflective and elevated prose, the letter-press giving place here and there to finisheeb wood-cut illustrations. The binding is in handsome bevelled style, wj|h gilt edges. This is one of the most creditable publications of the American Tract Society, ahtT may be found among tlie rich literary stores displayed at their Philadelphia Branch, No. 140 S Chestnut street, Philadelphia. BCENFA IN CEYLON | From the Overland Monthly.) - On-every side nature seemetl teeming-with life and motion, as we journeyed onward, past »' clusters of the ylorioSit xuptrba, orchids, aiid climbing plants,’whicli liung in festoons from the undergrowth. Insects of the most brilliant lustre bung on‘the leaves, or hovered about the trees, while birds of a varied and beautiful plumage flitted 1 across our path. We stopped at different villages, where refreshments were obtained in the shape of coffee and rice-cakes, and the delicious king cocoanut, the water of which, medicated with a dash of cognac, I thought quite equal to champagne. Asi wo proceeded, 'a lazy rattlesnake might be observed dragging his weary length across the l'oau, or climbing the side of some native hut, under no apprehension of violence, as the natives are for bidden by their religion to take life in any shape.' This code is not,ihowever, always ad hered to, since they are readily roused to anger, and revenge themselves in a cruel mau »er on anything that has injured them. Thus, on one occasion, while I was riding in the jum cle nuar Ranee, oil the south coast, r observed a wounded alligator bound by.ropes to a tree. It appears he had committed sundry, depreda tions on cattle; and although pierced by half a ‘ dozen bullets while in the water, he exhibited sufficient vitality to make extraordinary efforts to escape, after being dragged qshore. A batch of natives were amusing theniSelves by inflict ing-prodigious whacks, ou, his carcass with huge billets with appawntlybut little effect. One aggrieved partywas iu the- act of making a furious onslaught, when the mon ster, by a sudden flank movement, caught him right amidships, and sent him howling a dis tance of several yards. It was-manifest that tlie destroyer of cattle was not to be done to death by any amount of hammering; so lie, was left attached to the tree, and for a month afterward his mortal remains diffused an odor over the neighboring district that did not savor of “ gales from Araby the Blest.” At Bentotte, the half-way house, the midday meal is taken, and a certain degree of rest af forded, which by this time. has become neees-; sary. In tlie cool and comfortable rest-house we found no difficulty in satisfying tlie craviugs of hunger, and the more importunate demands of thirst. Tlie river is here crossed by a bridge of boats, which is occasionally swept away or injured by .-heavy , freshets, which bringdown heavy pieces of timber, and sometimes small islands, against the bridge. Ten miles further on we arrived at • Caltura, where are the re mains of an old Dutch fort, and in the vicinity of which are the caves where a species of swal low constructs the famous edible bird’s nests, so much valued as a table luxury by the Chi nese. The village is distinguished for its ex tensive arrack distilleries. In tlie vast topes of cocoanut palms from whence these dis tilleries are supplied may he seen the opera tions of the toddy-drawer, as he rapidly as cends, descends, or runs along tlie numerous lines that connect one tree with another. Within eight miles, of Colombo, the road runs through the cinuamon gardens. The aroma so much lauded by voyagers as emanating from, this famous laurel is, when close to it, anything but agreeable to the olfactory nerves; and the vaunted plant itself is by no means an im posing shrub. Its cultivation has deteriorated considerably of late years, owing to the mo nopoly at one time exercised by tlie govern ment, and subsequently, to tlie heavy impost levied oii the trade. Driving across the Gal leface, and entering the fort by the south gate, we arrived about four o’clPck in Colombo, the seat of. government. The English society here is net such that a stranger will appreciate, un less he possesses introductions of a certain character; but lie can find ample and inter esting employment for his in rides and drives about Colombo and its neighborhood. Shortly after my arrival I accompanied 4 friend on a visit to his estate, a few miles be yond Negombo. The heat was intense, and the lowering of the dark, leaden' clouds por tended the setting in of the monsoon. After a pleasant ride of several miles, we reached his' bungalow, which stood on an eminence, just as a few heavy drops of rain gave notice of the impending storm’. An ayah, or native nurse, was carrying his child in the veranda as we entered; hut we had scarcely been seated be fpre a flash of lightning, followed by a terrific crash, of thunder, struct* the house. We heard a scream, and the father rushed into the ver anda. There was the ayah lying stone-dead, and tire infant on the ground a short, distance from her. We picked the little one up, and found it uninjured. These tropical storms, al though .very violent while they last, are of short continuance, and the effect they have in clear ing the atmosphere is delightful. Vegeta tion revues, and animal iife, which for a time had been dormant, breaks into renewed activity. Tire land-leeches become especially troublesome after a shower of rain, when these pests of the jungle attack the traveler in myriads. Though ho is mounted on horseback, they will quickly ascend the legs of the horse while in motion and fasten on to the rider before be becomes aware of their existence; and it is’not desirable to re move them until they have drunk their fill of blood, for fear of causing an after-sore, Silk leggings are the best protection, and are gen erally adopted in those districts where these voracious creatures abound. Though venom ous reptiles are so numerous in every part of the island, the casualties caused by them are by no means common as might be supposed. The most detestable of these, to my mind,were the (lying frogs, so called from tlieir capability oi .springing from one tree to another. They are gree'ii, arid very poisonous, principally in festing remote clumps of cocaanut trees. They give vent to a most disagreeable squeak as they leap front branch to branch, and this inhar monious sound jars on the nervous system of those acquainted with-the habits of the reptiles. The highway to the coffee-districts is the Kandy road, which at all times,-but chiefly in the coflee season, is a scene of bustle and ac tivity. Bay and night the bundys , drawn, by the small hump-backed oxen' of the country,, traverse this r oad, and the bells on each cause an everlasting jingle, broken only by the song of the driver, who, walking between the con veyance and his bullocks, stirs them up with a. pointed stick, or twitches tlieir tails to increase their speed. Droves of larger oxen, laden with coffee from the mountains, passed us, and occasionally a colossal elephant-wagon, drawn by one or two elephants belonging to the en gineer’s department. This road, cut, as it must have been, at an enormous expense,opens up the ,Kandyau country through the Kaduga nava Pass, and presents a magnificent speci men of engineering skill. . Its completion made a hitherto inaccessible country practica ble for British troops; and since that time no difficulty with the-warlike mountaineers has occurred. The scenery as we ascended the mountain pass, and tliehce to Kandy, is one of surpassing magnificence. The ancient capital of the kings of Kandy has little to re commend it, except its prestige and ruins. Its greatest curiosity is the Dalada, said to be the sacied tooth of Buddha, for the possession of which have been waged innumerable wars,and to which unnumbered pilgrims have flocked in all ages to express tlieir veneration. It is said by unbelievers to be only the tooth of a pig, after all; hut this m yassant. The Botanical Gardens at Peredinaia are well worth seeing, as they are stocked with the finest exotic aiid indigenous plants and trees to be found in any collection in the East. Prom Kandy to Neuera Elba, tbe sanitarium of Ceylon, the road is car ried to a height of 0,000 feet above the sea. The town is built on tbe mountain plateau,and the loftiest ranges in the vicinity give growth to the superb rhododendron, which rises to the height of filly or sixty feet, and is covered with a profusion of blight crimson flowers. On these invigorating heights the invalid coming from the plains below, can„if n,ot too far gone, recruit bis. health and.strength,.and enjoy himself with as much .zest- as if he were in a temperate, instead of a tropical region. I shall never forget tbe pleasurable sensation { experienced in finding myself again in a climate where blankets were a necessity; to wake up in the morning and-discover the hoar-frost on the ground, and thin ice on the water; but, espe cially, once ‘more* to see European fruits and flowers around me. This sort of thing could only lie fully appreciated by one who,.like my self, bad been broiling for years on the arid plains of the Deccan. It was a change'from tbe bowling wilderness to an elysium, and I ■was more ilian ever inclined to think, with the Mussulman, that. Ceylon must verily have been the original Garden of Eden. Such a pleasant dream .could not last long. Duty demanded my presence in the dank and unhealthy jungles of the low country ;, and.Neuera Ellia hence forth to me would be inaccessible except as a .resort for sickness, on- medical certificate, and with the august permission of leave of absence from headquarters.

Promised Reforms lm France—Speed, of ttae Emperor. Faihs, Nov. 29.— The sessions of the Senate and Corps Legislate were reopened to-day with greafeeremoriy by the Emperor, who de livered a speech from the throne. It was hoped the Empress might return in time to take part in the ceremonies, but she has not reached Paris. .The Emperor said : ✓lt is not easy to establish regular and peace ful liberty in France. For months past society seemed menaced by subversive passions, and freedom compromised by excesses of the press and public assemblages, hut common sense has "already properly jiulged these culpable exo nerations, which, after all, have served but to prove the solidity of the edifice fouuded by popular suffrage. But the uncertainty and trouble must last no longer ; the will of the people most he known. France wants liberty wiUi. olden and order I answer for: help me messieurs to secure liberty. Between those who would change all and those who would grant nothing, a glorious course may be chosen. The Emperortheii referred to the Scnatm Coimtltmn of September hist, which he said he had proposed with the purpose of inaugu rating a new era of conciliation and progress. He proceeded to enumerate the municipal reforms to be made. He pronounced the situation of the country satisfactory, and de clared that the' more he was ready, however, to "rant reforms, . the more decided he was to maintain the principles of the Constitution. The l elations of France with foreign powers were friendly. The Jfimperor continued: . AVe have reason to be proud of our epoch. Tlie New "World suppresses slavery, Russia frees her serfs, England renders justice to Ire land. Bishops are meeting at Rome for wise and conciliatory purposes, and the; progress of science draws nations nearer to each other, while America unites the Atlantic and I’acifie; everywhere, capital and intelligence combine to / connect by electrio \\ ires ’all .nations. France and Italy will soon be joined by tunnel through the THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPfIIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30,1869, i - Alps, and the Suer. Canal has already united tile Mediterranean and the Red Sea. The Empress is not present to-day, because I de sired her to testify the sympathy of France with the wonderful genius and perseverance of a Frenchman. , The Emperor concludes: Messieurs, you resume your labors after an unusual interruption of the session. I hope the bodies of the State will apply loyalty to the modifications lately made hi the. There is to be a.' more direct’ participation of the nation in its own affairs. This will be a new force for the Empire. France can sup port free institutions, which honor civilized nations. Palis, Nov. 29.2-The following is a synopsis of the reforms promised In the Emperor's speech: ■ ■ Mayors arc to be chosen from municipali-. ties; municipalities will he elected by universal suffrage* communal councils will be. estab lished ; fresli prerogatives will bo granted to the Conscil.i Oeneraux. The colonies are to participate in this movement. Universal suf frage will be ; extended, and there will be a more rapid development of primary education; a diminution of the costs of justice and a re duction of the. war tax on successions. The savings bank system is to be extended; more humane regulations are to be made for the labor of children, and there is to be an increase to small salaries in public offices. Useful measures connected with agriculture are pro mised ; also an inquiry into the excise and pro ject of law regarding customs duties. _ The speech says the situation is satisfactory, tliat the foreign relations are the subject of congratulation,'that its finances are prosperous, and tiiat the Chambers must prove that France is capable of free institutions, which are the honor of civilized countries. Pauls, Nov. 29, evening.—Laige crowds were collected around’ the hall of the Corps Legislatif to-day, but no disturbance occurred. Within the Chamber the scene was of great interest. Henri Rochefort was not present, and his name, when called, was received with hisses. The Emperor’s address was listened to with the deepest attention, and was frequently ap plauded. At that point Where the Emperor declared he would answer for the, preservation of order, the applause became enthusiasts The official journals this evening praise the speech, while the opposition press complain that the Emperor does not promise reforms which France needs. # Philadelphia Bank Statement.
