No doubt this science is susceptible of improvement, as well as any caller; but "change is not always reform," and the author who revives and adopts a long-exploded error, or promulgates a new one, for the sake of ap -1 treating to be a discoverer, certainly deserves censure Liather than praise. The author of this work appears to have contented himself with the endeavor to be useful rather than briillint—to arrange, simplify, and illastrats his subject, rather than to excite wonder by i Ithe advocacy of startling pant Lam In addition to the usual definitions, principles, and rules, this book contains a collection of idionts/aulty `or difficult constructions, Lc.; with the necessary ex planations or corrections.

Mr. Crittenden's amendment as passed was materially improved and modified since, it was first offered iti the Senate. - Instead of saying that the Constitution with which Kan sas is now - admitted shall be - submitted to the popular vote, it refers to it merely as a Con stitution framed at Lecort.pton. It prevents less than a majority of the Board of Com missioners from certifying the vote , on the COnstitution to the President, thus rendering Kickapoo frauds and the like fruitless. It re jects the land-grab ordinance, and punishes illegal voting or ftaudulent returns with se vere penalties. ,It-deelares that if Lecomp ton is rejected, and a new Constitution rati fied by the people, Kansas shall he absolute ly in - the Union ; thus, preventing any fac tious resistance to her admission next winter, or any demands for, compromises as condi tions of admission. s The AmeriCans of Washington are as re joiced at the result as the Republicans and the Douglas,Demoerats in Congress. The I Buchanan Men mourn and threaten alternate ly. Old Buck is very gloomy and indig,- ham. The whippers-in insist that the llouse must and will recede; but the anti-Lecomp tonites are firm, and all say that the man who yields shall be branded by the wit,* phalanx as disgraced. Mr. Harris of Illinois came in ram his sick room, determined to vote, if it cost him his life, as it may. He ' with Messrs. Hick min and Chapman -of Pennsylvania, voted to reject the Senate 'oHl absolutely. A STIVOIN . I3 REBC;KE.- Senator Clark, of New Hampshire, in the course of his speech, recently, in addressing himself to the remark of Mr. Hammond, of South Carolina, that Northern laborers are slaves, said : " With all due respect to the Senator, I say that they can not only,get a dinner, but can give one to the Senator if he wants it. But I would advise the Senator not to talk of, mud-sills there, otherwise five feet ten inch es ,of ground—if that is the gentleman's height—might be his portion. In the 'Revo lutionary war a blacksmith of New . Hamp shire .gave his services to the State. His father said to him The State is poor, don't ask for your money now.'

He went into an analysis of the amendment, and then compared it with the original bill," The' debts to contractors' spoken of bythe gentlemen from Chester,(Mr. Hodgson,) was a phantom, and had no foun dation: He -was authorized to say, there were no debts to contractors.

Entertaintitg these views he 'was , ' in flivor of the State's being divorced from all • her public works. Last winter he advocated , the sale of the main line, and he was now in I favor of selling the remainder of our State works. I But while he was in favor of selling them, it should-be done in a proper way. .As rep.l resentatives we are guardians of thelproperty: of the Commonweath, and should sell these ' works - as an executor or guardian would sell property of an estate to the highest and best: bidder. This bill provides forselling •them to the Shnbury and Erie railroad, which is, said to be a bankrupt' company, for a fixed price.- Now we might.not be able to realize any more were we to put them up at - publid sale, or to find any more solvent purchasers,! hut our constituents would be justifiable in presuming that we might. the same as parties! interested it: an. estate miehtff an ,executor sold property at private sale. He alluded to the Sunbury and Erie , railroad as one of the gre,test enterprises of the age, and spoke nt.length of the advantag -es to be derived-from its eompletion. ,• I. • He would be glad to see it completed, and would vote to give the State- works to them if they would satisfy him that this . would complete it ; but he could not well under. stand how they could complete a railrondl that vreetl , l cost over. twenty millions of dol lars, with minds thaewe are told are worth less.
