NEW PUBLICATION& Shakespeare's Midiummer ' Night's Dream. Illustrated with . twenty-four silhouettes 'by P. Roinswka. Boston : Roberta Bros':—This v4l - which the publishers just Managed sto iqueeze from the press in time : to nick the Christmas season, with but a few' poor' hours ,tro spare, will certainly disappoint, their visions if it prove nothing more than .a "holiday book;" a costly sacrifice, that ,is to say, to a tertian conventional sense of anniversary duty, obliged to be ;Very, worthless and expensive,, to hard a Cerittin glided; baaet4silbi, dbn't-toueh me bloom upon it, to:be feared and respected brit neverused,.tn be ,uncomfortably and un teleaningly'spientlid while it lasts, and to fade from the centre-table to the closet before next Christmas. ,If :this is to: ihe the place of the present edition, then it was horn . too late to Davy had any proper reason for existence. But wi'tiwitik,.aia• beautiful and clear imprint of Shakespeare's principal effort of fancy, com mended to the eye by all that is generous in pafer and print, and embroidered throughout wip a strange tracery of unfamiliar designs, the Book . nay prove something better than - a holiday trifle, and may secure a place among the Shakespeare hiver's friends as a suggestive and valued reading companion. A good deal hasiteen printed about the strange manner of these drawings,the labor of a German artist hith erto 'unknown among its, and bearing the queer manic of Konewka. They are simple silhon ettesras if cut out of black paper and attached to the leaf. It is true that the, designer has shown great , skill in giving variety to the poses and groupings 'of these little figures ; . but it is an injustice to art to celebrate the oddities be fore ns as if there were any great merit in re stricting the pencil so. The fact is, the sil houette is ~ a.convenient veil, under which a thousand imperfections may be concealed. There is nothing in the book to prove that Mr., Paul Konewka , has any serise.of chiaroscuro or ofair,'of foreshortening, of indicating the round. Designs on the principle of these be fore us' have been the favorite . recreation of many artists, usually of ` the dash-away species, who, holding a large brash_ heavily charged: with black pigment, could throw off' an ex pressive attitude almost in ,a moment. The sketches before us attempt something higher, and seem to recall rather the black designs on Etruscan pottery than the slashes of carica turists. We have already, in some preliminary remarks about this work, expressed regret that the publishers did not ally the adopted style of art in people's minds at once with the classics, and put to flight all associations with low iomic work, by supplying a mat tint of the fawn or orange color usual :in old vases, on which the black designs would imprint them selves with, less of raw contrast, and more of richness 'and tone. A red border having al ready been prepared for 'each page, the mat could have been printed with one trouble. In the twenty-four pictures thus presented, there is great choice, Mr. Konewka commanding his hand with sure success , when he • is at work on little children or 'clowns, and showing far less distinction in his touch when treating young heroes and ladies. We think we per ceive a staginess, an old-young look, a want of elevation, and breeding, and race, in every one :,of the figures representing the mortal lovers in the play. The fairies, on the con trary, are rarely exquisite ; the four elves who sport around the beheaded figure of BottOm, topped by little Cobweb, who scatters films over his brain, are full of tricksy life and grace. ()heron, in the shape of Corin, ‘; versing love to amorous I'hilida," is very elegant. Herinia and Helena quarreling in childhood, though rather Germanesque than Shakespearian, are full of spirit. yttek, meeting the fairy, bursts with saucy life. li i many cases the slight, de partures allowable from strict silhouette, as in giving gauziness to drapery or wings, and reticulation to the locks of hair, are used with great gain of effect.' The figures are supported 'upon, instead of ugly blocks of ground, fan tastic scrolls always appropriate to the scene, whether the thorubush of Moonshine, the wali-of-Troy" pattern of Wall, the thistle of Bottom, or the flowery entanglements of the woodland scenes. The drawing, although we contradict the united press in saying it, is not of that exquisite refinement which is universally attributed to it. Many of the faces are , coarse and bloated, with a peculiar German pulpy mouth which is the trade-mark of the. artist'; and many of the limbs are im perfect in outline. But in expressive ness, in the power of telling the story, not a figure has missed ; and in saying that we say a good deal. The publishers • have pre pared for the title-page a steel-plate vignette of a head, a fancy portrait - of Helena. They wish us to contradict the report, circulated in a con siderable-porton of the press, that this is a like ness of a particular New England beauty. They claim that it is strictly ideal. But they cannot force this claim. The head is a tell tale,-of strictly American type,having the very look of a photograph, and such as airy artist would decide to be studied from a model. Everything considered, we think this volume deserves a much higher place than the ephemeral holiday book. It is not only an or namental quarto to decorate a marble slab,but it is a book that helps the fancy in making friends with the lfiflumnier Right'., Dream. We only hope that the consideration it has met with will not prove a w ill-of-the-w isp to our artists— as the celebrity of Retzsch's outlines did some years ago—and lead them to fancy that fame will follow them if they enter these easy and stylish limitations of art, and then begin 'to turn out thousands of silhouette illustrations at once very peculiar and very . i‘ horrid." The Primeval World of Hebrew 'Tradition. By Frederic Henry Hedge. Boston : Roberts Bros., 1810.—This is another of those efforts, so distinctly model n in their scheme, to treat the Bible realistically, and harmonize it properly with modern philosophies of history and disco veries in science. The reader will find Mr. Hedge always, ready :with a theory; and, apart from the general shock due to his wide departures from the old "evangelical" style of commentary, ' will be a good deal troubled by his extreme and often flippant readiness to set up a theory of his own, of course quite conjecttiral, in the place of a literal interpretation of - the old history. We can best justify our criticism by a rather long extract, giving the new reading applied by Mr. 73edge to the plain story of Cain and Abel : CAIN, OR, PROPERTY ANL STRIPE AB AGENTS IN CIVILIZATION "Property is theft," was the saying of the French socialist. Property is violence, says the testimony of Hebrew tradition. This first said necessary step' in civilization, Involving a conflict ofivills and rights, was not to be taken without, opposition and deadly strife. The fiery of Cam represents tbat first step, repre_ bents the beginning of civil society, as the story of Adam, in Eden represents a state antecedent to civil life.. ' . • What the facts precisely were.that gave riae to this stay it; is inniossible to say. — These dark traditions of a prehistoric age are not'to be received as exact. report, but es mythicalin vestinent of historic fact. , In the absence written chronicles, when pase'litiente live oily in the memory, - and are handed dOWnv by verbal transmission from generation to genera tion, it is only the more salient points and the prominent names that tradi tion retains. An imaginary Case ,May illustrate this law. Suppose there were no written history of our late civil War, "and no contemporary documents from which to compile one. Suppose the art of writing were unknown and the whole transaction com mitted to the keeping of tradition, that is, to the memory of successive generations. What. aspect would the factste to assume in seine distant aee,.say, after a lapse of a thou sand years ? Most probably that of a personal contest between Abraham Lincoln and Jeffer son Davis, resulting in the death of the former. The causes of the contest, the rights 'of the case, would be variously conceived and repre. sented by descendants of the different parties, or rather by the different streams of tradition originating with, thern, and embodying differ ent views of the question. One wonktrepre sent it as an act of aggression perpetrated by Lincoln , with a view to deprive .Davis of his slaves ; another would describe it as a movement on the part of Davis to overrun the territory of Lincoln, and to occupy it with an alien race. Such, we may imagine, would . be the fragmentary and contradictory notes that might survive of a great historic event, in the absence of written testimony. And such • I suppose to be the character and historic import of this ancient fragment of Hebrew tradition. I suppose it to be the sediment and mythical deposit of some historic event, some great conVulaitni 'of the early world, of which the names of Cain and Abel have survived as prominent acters,—a fatal encounter between two parties. repre sented by these names. This critical event which forms an epoch in human history is here presented in the form of an apologise. Two brothers, the first of woman born, dtvell side by side in a region bordering' on the land of Eden, a region still glowing with the beauty of primal nature, and re joicing in the presence of the Lord. Inclina tion leads them 'different ways; they apply themselves each to his chosen pursuit. One pastures his flocks and leads the roving life of, a shepherd; the other, more progressive, tills the ground and seeks in the sweat of his face a more varied subsistence than unfilled nature even then could supply. Tlie Lori, it is said, favored Abel rather than Cain; the shepherd obtains some advantage over'the planter. Im mediately the world becomes toe narrow for the brothers. Violence. ensues; the elder lifts his hand against the younger, and slays him. For this he is drivenfromhis native land, and finally takes ap his abode in Eastern Asia,where he builds a city, and where be and his de- . scendants introduce the arts of civilized life. Such is the form in which tradition has em bodied some of the facts connected with the first division of the human family. The facts appear to have come to us through a colored medium,—a medium colored in the interest of the shepherd race. We have here one side of the story;` there is another version of it, pre served by some tribe of the Semite stock, in which Abel appears as the aggressor and Cain as the victim. What is clearly historical is the fact of a rup ture between two classes or tribes, -a nomadic and an agricultural people, and the consequent migration of the latter in an eastward direction from the land of their nativity. The story sup poses some advance in the arts of life. It is no rude," state of nature," so called, no infant so ciety that is broUght to view. Between the period represented by Adam and that represented by Cain and Abel, a long tract of time must be supposed to have in tervened. The condition of primitive nature is outgrown: ,artificial life has begun. We find man in possession of domestic animals, which be has learned to train and make profit able; We find him tilling the ground, conse quently in possession of agricultural imple ments, Which, however rude. presupposes skilled labor ter their invention. All this implies pro gress, and progress implies time. Two distinct callings—two at least—have developed them selves,—the shepherd's and the husbandman's. Hence, conflicting interests and occasional col lisions,—the herdstaan claiming unlimited right of pasturage, the planters seeking to re serve and inclose a portion of the land for agricultural use. It is likely that both parties had cause of complaint. On the one hand, the sequestration of what had hitherto been com mon would seem an invasion of his natural rights to the herdsman; and, on the other, the damage done to his plantations by the, grazing herds must have been an intol erable nuisance to the, planter. Both are represented as addicted to the worship of Jehovah. Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord, and Abel, be also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and his offering, but un to -Cain and his offering he'had not respect." Here we • have evidently the speculation .of some narrator who has colored the tradition with hiS own conceit. To suppoSe that God is better pleased with the offering of slaughtered lambs than of; fresh fruits is a monstrous mis conception of the Godhead. It was some re flected idea. of atoning blood, as constituting the value of sacrifice, which gave this color to the story. The novelty of giving this wide political view to a narrative which, in the Original, moves with the large simplicity and limited personae of an epic, is perhaps palatable; however disre- Spectful ; we only claim that if We go to bowl ing, down the original history, which is unsupported evidence of an entirely self-re- . liant kind, we then have a I.abilla rasa for every man to construet his them) on, and that Mr. Hedge has no individual right to present his own as at all authoritative. In the same spirit, and with a calm which we cannot but admire, Mr,. Hedge denies the report that Methuselah lived 060 years, simply because so long a life would have been a bore. He pat ronizes MOses's aceinint of the flood, - lartd his Christianity is shocked at the theory of ; it as a punishment for the crimes of mankind. In his notion, the old Fourierites of the day having made an awkward failure in their at tempt to hive the human family, a cataclysm of Fome sort followed, and was called'a: . jtidp went by subsequent moralists. So the failure of .Nizurod's,..tower,- and the- • confusion- of tongues, becoMe with him typeS of the slow rise and fall of a great: empire, with 80, gradual dispersion and misunderstandings of its subjects. When Mr. Fledge is less tickled with a theory, the originality which is natural to him produces some very fine effects. Ills analysis of human nature is subtle, and only errs in sometimes taking, as fundamental expressions of character those sparse speecheS or deeds which may have been accidental or the birth of circumstance. We like the following study of the contemplative patriarch whO came be tween Abraham and Jacob : THE P.A.TRIAMII IFAAC Leos conspicuous . in the' record than the other two with whom his name is associated, —the one as father, the other as son . ;--La mute, undemonstrative, isolated figure between majestic Abraham and plodding, scheming, shuffling Jacob , he, too, has stamped his type on his deseendants. His people still name. blot in the triad of pregenitors who . „ THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY. 6,1870, prefigured the fortunes the race endnres. The ancestral three have each beentathed to their progeny one distin guished trait. From Abraham the race de dived the•idea of, one God, the : original Impulse oftheirAMonotheism. Father Jacob gyre them the acquisitiveness, the calculating spirit of trade, and the long-suffering ) which still distin guish them among all the peoples of the earth. The legacy of Isaac was : the ;silent, brooding mind, the tendency to inwardneils, less gener ally diffused, less frequentlY"deVeloped, less na , tionally prominent, but Still on the whole, as 'it seems to me, a Characteristic trait.' That little piece of character-drawing would have been enough, a few years ago, when Gil- Allan was writing, to build up a reputation and even now, when close study of history has extended from profane story to the Bible chronicles, and become a common luxury, it proves Mr. Iledge's originality, and discrimina tion. Another of his well-expressed theorems, fixes, as we think, with dearness and beauty, the plactkof the Bible in relation to science : Much ingenuity has been expended in vain attempts to reconcile the Bible account of crea tion with the commonly-received conchisions of science. As if the.interests of religion and man's WellLbeink depended on the scientific accuracy of the Book of Gene Sis, nay, on the literal interpretation of that Book. what perverseness of unbelief• can exceed the perverseness of religious bigotry which would make religion accountable for the views enter tained by remote antiquity on subjects which the latest science has scarcely yet explored,— the, bigotry which fancies the credit of the Bi ble or the value-of its spiritual revelations im paired by the fact that the writers thereof . en tertained the opinions common to their age on matters of scientific import.. - Mr..lleflge's little work will undoubtedly set ideas to , springing, and its error of dogmatism is so obvious as to correct itself. It will do no harm to those who have come in contact with the stronger personalities and wider science of Strauss and Renal'. The book is put in neat shape by Roberts Bros.,' and will be found in the stock of Messrs. Porter & Cates. Mrs. Stowe's book, " Lady Byron Vindi cated," was published yesterday by Fields, Oa good ! Sc. Co.,' in a l 2mo of nearly 500 pages, antique type. We have been compelled as •common news-caterers to take so much notice of the work that there is no necessity : for doing more in this column than announcing its ap pearance and repeating-that the book, in our opinion, unlike most of the publications. to which Messrs. Fields, Osgood k Co. lend their names, is not one for family reading. , Froth • John Penington & Son, 127 South Seventh street, we receive a little work in French on the Sun, Le Soleil, containing those clear statements of the present theory of light, and of the machinery of the solar system,which we should expect from the author, Amedee Guillemin---a writer having a quite singular faculty in the composition of works of popular instruction. Fifty-eight illustrations improve the expressiveness of the treatise. Teachers who read French will find this work exceed ingly helpful in,expanding their ideas on the subjects *flight, optics, gravitation, &c. Messrs. Penington & Son likewise import, as one of the latest literary sensations, • Lai Arts au Moyen Aye, by Paul Lacroix. This is a splendid quarto, remarkable for its minute and exact copies of Works of art. Four hundred cif these illustrations arc fine wood-cuts. Nine teen others are chromo-lithographs, devoted to the representation of masterpieces of color, and vindicating the true place among the industrial arts of this modern nse of tinted printing-ink. k A correspondent of the Boston' Trtmscilp INriteE; LW* NEN "In - 1844 1' was neutenant on board the 'United States ship St. Lonis, in the China seas, Commanded by Captain Isaac McKeever, who oue day informed me in the course of familiar conversation that he was on board the Consti tution, and officer of the deck and watch,when Lord Byron visited the Constitution in 1822. Me said Lord Byron was very much embar i.assed by his reception, all the officers pssem-. bled on deck in full uniform and the inarines drawn up under arms to receive him. Count Gambra, the father of the too celebrated Countess Guiccioli, accompanied him. An ele gantly bound volume of an ,Amerlean edition of. his pOeMs was lying on the cabin table, which be examined, with the remark that it was the handsomest compliment ever paid him. " At that time the pronunciation of his name was disputed in the United States and Com modore Jacob Jones, who commanded the Mediterranean squadron, of which the Consti tution was the flagship—a man of great sim plicity of character—put the direct question to Lim : Pray, my Lord, which is the more cor rect pronunciation of your name—Be-ron or Byron ?' Lord Byron's reply, though not a direct one, settles the question as to which he favored. He .hesltaisql a.m ionient, said Captain. McKeever, and then said : My graMlfitther called um By-ron ; my mother called me By ron ; my yuerdinn, Be-you:'—intoning his voice, and speaking of his grandfather with pride s of his mother with affection, but of his guardian with contempt. Yet: notwithstan& ing this declaration, I have seen his name writ ten in his own handwriting—itheron the walls of the Bridge of Sighs or on a column of the Temple of Theseus at Atheirs,l forget which— and spelled Byron or Biron, certainly not with a SCIENCE ANI) lIOLY WRIT MORE BYRON.

Letter from M. de Limey,. The journal L'lWitne de Suez of the Ihth of December publishes the following with respect to the canal: The subjoined letter has been communicated to us. 'lt was written by M. de Lesseps to a body of shareholders, in reply to an address forwarded to him by them aiking him to pro cure from the Khedive a temporary guarantee for the payment of interest: Gcnt/einen : The directors have transmitted to me the letter bearing your signatures rela tive to the Suez Canal. In consequence of the sinister reports that have been circulated re garding it you propose to ask of the Khedve a temporal) , miarantee for •the payment of in terest. What has occurred to justify with a request, the evident result of wiC.cli would be to give rise to the supposition that the share holders, after having had faith iu their enter prise and sustained it through ditliculties are discouraged now that the work has heen clowned with fatal striking success? de mand for a guarantee, which I abstained from making.at the beginning, as containing a prin ciple contrary to my convictions, could not now be adopted by your president.. Nor is there any necessity fot such a guarantee. It ,Tests, with the shareholders to keep up the valite of the shares by the attittetk they assume in •' , .the face of the calumnious 'reperts that have been propagated coneerning*lnterprise, evidently for the purpose of lowering the 'price of the securities and thereby causing you to dispose of them in order that they themselves may buy them at a discount—a proceeding which proves that they estimate the worth of the shares more highly than you yourselves do. A stran ger to all kinds of Bourse speculations, I learned with the greatest astonishment that on tire day succeeding the Inauguration of the canal, ac complished with unhoped-for stuxess there was a great fall in the price of the shares. • I am quite aware that the majority of the share holders lave been unaffected by these rumors, rightly attributing them to the manoeuvres of stook jobbers; but I do not the less deplore. the alarm that has seized the minds of some of the most steady • and oldest of my co-operators. Why is it that past expe rience has not warned them. against the. un blushing falsehoods which a body .of jobbers have set afloat on the Paris Bourse ? I have but one reply to make to, reassure those of the shareholders whose alarin has been awakened. Between the 17th and 24th of November 130 large vessels passed from one sea to the other, representing a gross tonnage of 80,000 tons. Since that time the navigation has not been in terrupted a single day ; every vessel arrived at either port has and can pass through the canal without the Slightest difficulty. Our position is, therefore, excellent, and to-cut short the scan dalous proCeedings of the clique aboVe-men- Coned, I have requested the Council of Admin.- istration to convoke a-general assembly at an early period. Consequently, I shall soon be among you and will lay before you, with the same frankness as heretofore, the exact condi tion of our flue and fruitful undertaking.

The followingis from " Notes on Burgundy," by Chars Richard Weed, just published in London : " The foolish and often insane attempt, so prevalent, unfortunately, with our country men, to ape their betters, is rarely seen in France. Contentment with .their lot Seems to be very general ; and, if it is a feature of the French character to be amused with what we should perhaps call trifles, this custom has at least the advantage of occupying time harm lessly. It is impossible, of course, to be the guest of a French family,where there are daugh ters, without being struck by the great contrast between their life and that of English girls. This contrast appeared to me now to be more striking than ever, and this is the case ; for, while the French girl has been, so to speak, standing still,- her life before marriage running in the same narrow domestic groove, our English girls have been accorded, more liberty, of which they bave not been slow to take advantage, with what result, -in many cases, is well known. Thus encouraged to indulge in amusements Of the most exciting nature, a orriet home becomes a bore, and their young life is spent In frivolities which aresorry preparations for the Years when they hope to be matrons. There is, doubtless, much to be said against the French system of marrying girls to men whose characters they have little or no opportunity of studying; but, although continental marriages are not, as a rule, the result of innival love, it is certain that in France a maidenhood of glittering but unreal splendor is rarely, if ever, succeeded by a wifebtxxl of,disappointment and unhappiness."
