« There can be no doubt that these novels of Guerraz*
cl are*of marked and high literary merit. Their sty e
is clear, pore, and vigorous. The power of the author
is shown in his brilliant pictures, hli vivid descriptions,
and h(s brief, energetic expression* of feeling His
characters are drawn with abort, sharp strokes, as with
the point of a sword. The reader becomes a spectator.
From bis post of observation he sees a drama enacted
before him *, the scenery and costumes are perfect *, there
is a fearful earnestness and vitality In .the performers.
With parted Ups, and cheek growing paler, he watches
with eagerness the progress of the action till the cur
tain falls.”

The novel of Veinon Grove is in our judgment tbe
beet vet produced by an American lady. In no Ameri
can fiction has the interest been maintained with such
power. Faihos is ihe quality most at the writer’s com
mand. The incident of Eva’s blindness is narrated
with wonderful and startling naturalness, and affects
the reader more, we think, than the similar occurrence
in the case of Muriel in ‘•'John Halifax, Gentleman,”

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1858.
-: -Atlantic and Pacific Kailroad.
.-Repeated efforts to discover a N’ortliwest
Fassage from the Atlantic to the Paciilo, have
•been made, with the desire to roach Asia,
■from Europe, through the Arctic Ocean with
out going round the Cape of Good Hope, at
Hho foo r f of Africa, or Capo flora at the lowest
of South America. These efforts,
principally mode hy England, during the- last
forty years, have cost much, without pro
ducing 4ny practical or useful results. It is
so.doubtful whether such a passage exists,
that tho Mo ot Fbankmn may bo said to have
ended the' inquiry. Nor, jf such’ a passage
could be found, through’ tho hyperborean
waters of tho Arctic Ocean, is there the
slightest: prospect, of its being useful, at any
time,fpf,ordinary, navigation. ;
. -Instead, of prosecuting , the > hypothetic
search, in the frigid zone, tho British.Govern
hierft contemplate the formation of a north
weft; land route, from the Atlantic to the Pa*
cifle, ih 'tho tomperate zqno. The entire ef
the American Continent, north from the 49th
parallel of. latitude, with the exception of
Greenland, on.'the extreme northeast, and
Russian America, on. the extreme northwest,
belongs to England, l'he Canadas, Nova Sco
ia, and New Brunswick, adjoining the United
States, lie in tho southeast'of British North
America*. Vancouver’s Island, and what is
marked on the maps ; as New Caledonia, but
lately re-named British Columbia, are in the
southwest of British America, also next Unl
tedsßtatea .territory. It is matter of public
notoriety that* in these last-named provinces
abundance of gold has lately boon discovered,
and 'that Frazer’s River is said to be as au
riferous as California or Australia. Tho' cli
mate of British Columbia is as temperate as
in' those parts of the United States which it
On many accounts, therefore, it is
highly.ellgible for colonization, which it is the
unconcealed purpose of the British Govern
ment to foster as much as possible.
Onoihaif the shores of Lake Superior be
longs to tho United States, the ‘ remaining
moioty ; being within Canada. The mineral
treasures which abound every where within
the yiejnity of this Lake have drawn a large
population an the Canadian side. It is certain
that, ;eye long, a railway will thence extend to
the river St. Lawrence, and to Halifax, tho
great port of Nova Scotia, passing through.
New -Brunswick.' On the other hand, tho dis
tance westward, from Lake Superior to Fra
zer’s Rivor; in British Columbia, (where it
falls info the Gulf of Georgia,) : is only about
1,600 miles aoross. The British Government
seriously contemplate making a line of rail
way from Frazer’s River to Lake Superior,
the continuation to Halifax being constructed
by private enterprise. In plain terms, thore
is to be a railroad, right across North Ame
rica, from 'Halifax to Frazer’s River—a gi
gantic undertaking, worthy of the wealth,
the energy, and the polioy of a great com
mercial .power.
For, If this groat line be made, a vast tido Of
emigration may be expected to pass over it,
not only from Europe to the shores of the Pa
cific, but from tbo United States also. Along
tba ronto itself, in favorable localities, towns
may bo anticipated to arise, and population to
extend. These would strengthen tho southern
boundary-of British North Americas. Asa
matter~of*mero policy, England would act
.trisbly inf peuring the chance of this.
Let such a line of railroad be made, and the
Canadian or American could cross from the
Atlantic to v the Pacific In a week, while, thanks
to'steam navigation, the European emigrant
ceuld make the .journey in little more thau a
fortnight. As it is, the journey of the latter
bos to be made round Capo Horn, or across
the Isthmus of Panama —wasting several weeks
in a journeyof 8,000 or 10,000 miles to reach
Fraser’s river. So, also, the American desi
ring to go tirom the Atlantic seaboard to his
own California. What the United States
should have done—viz : make a railroad from
ocean to ocean, across its own territory—Great
Britain will probably do within its own limits
of-territorial possession.
As to the labor by which this line 1b to be
made, thero seems not much difficulty. It
has been contemplated, for some time past, to
bay part of the Hudson’s Bay Company’s ter
ritory for a penal settlement, the Siberia of
England. The saving of expense in prisons,
and the abolition of the fclckot-of-leave system
would be' J excellent results. Tho convicts
transported to this remote portion of British
America could be largely employed in making
the railway lino between Frazer’s River and
Lake Superior.
For the mere purposes of emigration, the ad
vantages of ‘the Atlantic and Pacific Railway
would be almost incalculable. But other and
scarcely inferior gains aro to be obtained.
Such a line would vastly facilitate European
communication with Eastern Asia. Take
Shanghae, in China, -for example. It is the
most distant mail packet and trading station
in Asia, from Europe. Very speedily, under
the new Chinese Treaty, a post on the Yellow
Sea, yet more remote, will bo opened to com*
munication with the « outßide barbarians.”
From Southampton, in England, to Sbanghao,
via Egypt, is now a distance of 10,500 miles,
and two months’ voyage and travel are not
considered tedious, considering the distance.
Were 'there a railroad across British North
America, Shanghao could be reached by a
westerly route in less, and the port on the
Yellow Sea in little more than a month. A
shorter ronto to China is indispensable—and
here it would bo.
The distance from Liverpool to China,
through British North America, about 11,000
miles, might then bo ran over in a month. It
would connect Europe—but principally Eng
land—with China, Japan, tho Corea, Slam,
Cochin China, the Eastern Archipelago, and
the northeastern shores of Australia. The
route from Europe to Hindostan would con
tinue, os it now is, down tho Mediterranean,
and across the Isthmus of Suez. Another
line would bo to Australia, through Panama.
The third would bo to China, via the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad. With two Pacific lines,
both of which seem inevitable, the Pacific
Ocean would be almost as much studded with
steamers and sailing vessels as the Atlantic.
As regards the route to China, from British
Columbia, it is a favorable circumstance that
coal for steamers abounds in Vancouver’s
Island, and also in Japan and Borneo.
IfEngland got tho start of us, in making a
great Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, we shall
repent our own snpinonoss only once—and
that is always .
Atlantic Monthly for November,
Wete we possessor of an owl, undoubtedly wo
should saoriOoe it to Minerva, the mythological
female who, specially has Magazines under her pa
tronage.- Thus would wo show our gratitude—
first, to the editor of tho Atlantic Monthly , for
announcing that tho “ Autocrat ” will oontinuo to
write for him; and next, to tho “ Autocrat H him*
self for coming baoksosoon. The artiole called
“AviBi ttot he AutooraVs Landlady” oertainly
interest* our Holmes and hearts. [A pun is in
tended here, and if you did not catch it, traok
back over the preceding sentence until you do.]
The Landlady is tempted to obat about tho Auto
crat and his young wife—to describe them—and,
above all, to part with certain MSS. of bis, ono of
which, “The Old Man of the Sea,” is actually
printed at the olobo of the artiolo, and a lively,
truthful poem it is. Here is tho full length (in
little) of the Autocrat: *.
a This gentleman warn’t no great of a gentleman to
look at. Being of a very moderate dimension— five foot
fiv« he said, but five foot four more likely, and I’ve
he*rd him Bay he didn’t weigh much over a hundred
and twenty pound. He was light-complected rather
than darksome, and was one of them smooth-faced poo
nle that keep their balrd and wishers out close, just as
if thev’d be very troublesome if they let ’em grow—ln*
stead of layln’ out thetr face in grass, as toy poor bus*
hand that’s dead and gone used to say. He was a well
behaved gentleman at table, only talked a good deal.
*nd nretty load sometimes, and had a way of turnin’
no his nose when he didn't like what folks said, that
one of my boarders. Who is a Texy smart young man,
said be oould’nt stand, no bow, and used to make faeca
and Doke fun at him whenever he see him do it.
<«He never said a word aginst any vittles that was
Bet before him, but I mistrusted that he was more par-
tiokerlar ln hia Gatin’ than ha wanted folks to know of,
for I’ve know’d him, make bellive to oat, and leave the
viitled ohhil platd when he didn’t Be*m to fancy ’em:
bnt he, was vdrV careful never to hart my feelln’a, and
I don’t belief he’d have spoke If he had found a tad
pole in a dish of chowder. Bat nothin’ could hurry
h‘ra when he was about Ms Tittles. Many’s the time
I’ve seen that gentleman keepin’, two or thtee of ’em
settln* round the breakfast-table after the rost had
swallered their meal,'and the things was oleared off,
and Bridget was a-w&itin’ to get the cloth away—and
there that little mv l would-set, .with.a tambler of
sugar and water,—what he used to call 0 Buk'ray,—a
talkiri’ And a-talkin’.—and sometimes he would
laugh, and sometimes "the tears would come intu bis
eyes,—which *as a kind of grayish blue eyes,—and
there he’d Bet and set, and ray boy Benjamin Franklin
hangln’round and gettin’Jate for school and'wantin’-
au ■ excuse, and an old gentleman that’s one of my
boarders a>listenin’as If heV&n’t no older than my
Benjamin Franklin, and that sohoolmistress settin’ jest
As if she’d beeu bewitched; and you might stickpins
into herwlthoutherhoilerin*.”
There are many noliceahle artides, besides this
Czar-ish one, in tho Atlantic 2\lont!dy for Novem
ber, of which we have an advance eopy from a
kind friend. If the stanzas entitled “Tho Last
Look,” full of pathos and. beauty, are not by Dr.
Holmes, we are a Dntohman. IVe notice the con
clusion of Dr. J\ W.’ Palmer’s story of “ Miss Wim
ple’s Hoop,” and hope there is truth in the report
that the author means to dramatize it. His
** Qaeen’s Heart,” whioh either of our theatres
here might profitably produce, shows his skill that
way. A splendid artiole on Bpouoer—suoh as
Professor Child might have written—and is full of
interest!. So are ”Railway Engineering in the
United .States/’ (a most admirable paper), U A
Prisoner at War,” and “ The Great Event of tbe
Century,” authors’ names unknown tons. Miss
Chceabro’s story, ” Her Grace,. tho Drummer’s
Daughter,”.ia oonoluded There is a first-rate no
tioe of Randall’s Life of Jefferson, by W. Dor
sheimer, ,who reviewed Farton’s Life of Barr.
n Washing of the Feet, on Holy Thnrsday, in St.
Poter’s,” may’ be affiliated upon tbe author of
“Saints and their Bodies,” and “A Sample of
Consistency,” terribly severe on Mr. Cushing, is
probably from the band whioh gave us “The Pocket
Celebration of the Fourth.”. There aro soveral fine
poems in this number, besides tbe two already
named.

n&bt, author of “Tho English Bible,” etc. lvol.
12 mo. iJosion: Gould & Lincoln.
It is singular, as the translator observes, that
there has been no Amerioan historian of the
New England Thoooracy. This volume, by the
German biographer of Wilborforce, selected by the
late Dr. Neander, who “ endorsed ” the work,
gives the history of the Congregationalism in New
England to theßovivals in 1740. The subject has
been treated very fairly and ably, and the reli
gious world is muoh indebted to Mr. Oonant for
patting the work boforo it in so accessible a form.
Having always understood that tbo Bible in com
mon use, with which we havo been familiar from
our youth, was translated by many soholars, and
not by one; in the reign of James I, and not re
cently, we are not a little surprised to see Mr.
Conast claiming to bo “ author of The English
Bible.” Barely, no uninspired person was “author”
of any part of the English Bible! Wyollffe, Miles
Gorerdale, and others, translated thffHoly Scrip
tures into English boforo tho version authorized
by James I was published in 1611—none of the
translators, however, olaimed, os Mr. Conant

FEiTAI/E COWVEBBATION IN AUERICA.—A book
published this year in London, entitled “ The Eng
lishwoman in America,” contains the following
passage describing a scene whioh the authoress
places, on board a steamboat upon Lake Cham
plain : (r The hroakfast hell rang and a general
rush took * place, and I was left alone with two
1 young ladies, who had Just become acquainted, and
were resolutely bent upon finding out each other’s
likes and dislikes, with tbe intention of VowiDg an
eternal friendship. A gentleman, who looked as
if he had oome out of ahall-roomreame.up, and
with a profusion of bows addressed them, or the
prettiest of them, thus: 1 Miss, it’s leedipg time, I
guess; what w s ll yod eat?’ . ‘ You’re very po-Ilte:
what’s the tioket?’ 1 Chioken and oorn fixings,
and pork with onion fixings.’ ‘Well,‘l*m hungry
some; I’ll have some pig and fixings.’ The swain
retired and brought'profusion of viands, wbioh
elicited the remark, .‘Well, I guess that’s sub
stantial, .anyhow.’- Tho yonng -ladles’ appe
tites seemed to be very good,, for I heard tbe
observation, you eat considerable;-you’re
in fall blast. I guess.’ ‘Guess I am; it’s all
fired cold, and I have been an everlasting long
time off my feed ’ A long under-toned con
versation followed this interchange of civilities,
when I-heard the lady say, in rather elevated
tones, [ You’re trying to rile me some; you’re piling
it on a trifle too high.’ ‘ Well, I did want to put
np your dander. Do tell, now—where was yen
raised V ,‘ In Kentucky.’ < I could have/gnessed
that. Whenever I sees a splendiferous girl, a
kinder gentle goer and high stepper, I says to my
solf, That gal’s from 014 Kentuck, and no mis-'
take.’ ”
RUSSIAN Kuo yr Nothings.—(From Haxth&u
sen’s Russian Empire.)—The land is rising rapidly
in value; nine or ten years ago it fetched eight or
ten roubles the dessetina; it is now worth ; from
thirty to thirty-five roubles. Some yean ago the
rent was from ten to fifteen oopeks the dessetins,
whereas it is now from one rouble to one rouble
fifty oopeks. One offset of this tide.of .emigration
has been to bring hither aorowd of vagabonds, rim
away serfs, Ao., to whom the name of Neznayusht
chie, or Know Nothing, has been given. In reply
to any question respecting' their history, birth
place, trade, residenoe, and so forth, 'they never
make any ether answer'than “Ne znayu,”.(l
know not.)
Effective Pueachikg.— (From Southey’s Life
of WesleyO—Sewel relates with all simplicity and
sincerity, in his History of the Quakers, that his'
mother, a Dutch woman, preaohed in her native
language to a company of Engllsh Friends, and
that though they did not understand a single word,
they were, nevertheless, edified by the discourse.
A man returned from one of Whitfield’s sermons,
and said it was good for him to be there; the
piaoe, indeed, was so crowded, that he had not
been able to get near enough to hear him; “but,

Resignation of Judge Porter.
Philadelphia, Oot. 16.1858.
Jhs Excellency William F. Father , Governor
of Pennsylvania —Dear Sir : On the first dsy of
your entrance on official duty, I received from
your hand a commission as a Judge of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania. The event then . con
sidered possible, perhaps I should say probable,
hag just been realized I have little to say of the
means whioh produced it. On receiving the ap
pointment I thought that, being a Judge, actually
fitting on tbe bench' and deciding on the rights of
men of all shades of polltioal opinion, I ought not
to write a political letter, nor make a poUtioal
speech. In the first place, I was not willing to
hide with my claims to tbe offioe, however email,
in the shadow of a mere political question. In
the next plaoe, I was and I am thoroughly con •
vinccd, by reading and reflection, that whenever
a judge oan bo elected by reason of his sentiments
on any question of politics, that moment the real
power of tho judicial office will disappear. Possi
bly this may be very erroneous doctrine, very in
opportunely expressed, but I shall maintain it
while I possess a moral sense or retains rational
faculty. In the certain prospect of a defeat far
more disastrous, notone hairsbreadth of it should
be abated.
The reverse which has occurred to the party is .
of less coneequence than we are apt to suppose.
The Democratic party is coeval with the Govern
ment itself, and it will exist so long as the Repub
lic endures., Within its ranks men will always be
found who remain there only to do with more suc
cess tho work of disorganisation. The party itself,
though depressed, is not destroyed. The point of'
Us lowest depression is that from whioh it will, of
necessity, begin to rise. At this moment, I solemn
ly believe it to be the.best and strongest political
organization whioh has ever existed for preserving
the interests of the whole oountry.
Now to’tho point I am not weak enough to
suppose, that the enolosed commission • baa had
muoh to do in causing the present political excite
ment. Nevertheless, it is plain that the people of
Pennsylvania prefer another person as a Judge of
their Supremo Court. Iu these oiroamßtanaes, it
seems to me a simple dictate of delie&oj and pro
priety to retire from the office. In. addition to
this, I ought to state that there are several im
portant o&uses ponding in whioh I wish to take
part as counsel, and those require immediate at
tention. I therefore, enclose my resignation.' The
offioe was tendered by you very kindly, without
solicitation on my part. I resign it gratefully,
and without, as I hope, having brought noon it
a stain cf dishonor. Dess was accomplished than
I could have wished, but I am not conscious
of an sot whioh does not meet the approval of my
own sense of duty. To yourselfporsonally, and to
those friends who are sending me their sympathy,
I beg to say, in a word, that there is no cause for
regret. I return to a profession whioh I was con
scious of abandoning too soon, and to a position at
the bar as honorable as that whioh is now relin
quished, and so muoh more remunerative, .that
comparison is out of the question. Certainly, I
ought to regard it no hardship to exohange for the
comforts of home that wandering life whioh the
law of Pennsylvania compels her judges to lead.
If I havo any regrot, it is in parting with those
pure and upright men who will remain to dis
charge their arduous and unrequited work.
Wishing you a prosperous administration of
pubtio affairs, I am, very respeotfully and truly,
y oUr s William A. Porter.

Remarkable for . a pRiNOEss.-T-Aiiother
opera singer has, arrived in New York, .having
been heralded by the manager as a prineess. One
of the New York papers gr’avely awuree the public
that “ bo far from assuming the airs of h pnnoess,
her condescension Is remarkable. During the
voyage she entertained the passengers by.,singing
some of her favorite songs eaoh nignt in the saloon,
the weather .being too boisterous to go on deck:
•and her'kindness was such that, by her request,
even the? common sailors were permitted to be
within'hearing of her ‘melodious-warblings.’ The
condescension or allowing the 1 common ssllorshon
the same ship to be 4 within hearing of heVwarb
ltngs’ is one of the most remarkable instances of
voluntary sabmission-to the foroe of oiroti instances
on record. The lady.wiU probably'bo equally
condescending on shore, and ring, half tbe evening
for fifty cents to the same or other common sailors,
whose taste for opera may lead them to the Aoa

Adam Leckxone were at breakfast In York, Penn.,
one of his eons, aged.vi x years, nine' months, ana

Naturalized Citizens.—An Important de
cision regarding naturalised citizens has been de
livered recently by tbe Supreme Court of Tonnes-
Bee, it having decided “that» naturalized oitisen
must reside six months in' tbe county, after his
naturalisation, before he is entitled to a vote.”
Mutiny.—The sailors on board the barque
Reindeer, bound from Kiobmond to South Ameri

bills on tbe People’s Bank of New York have made
their appearance. The bills are very well exe
cuted. "
Hoxs. Goddard, it is expected, will make
an excursion in his mammoth balloon, at the next
agricultural fair in Fredericksburg.
A Sharp ’un.— Whilst on a flying visit to
Norristown, yesterday, we heard of a good joke which
recently occurred, in whieb The Press formed as im
portant feature. Col. Jack Wood—the man who soaig
nally defeated Owen Jones—had prooored some three
hundred copies of the paper containing 001. Forney’®
latest political aptihob, for gratuitous distribution. Ar
rived at one of tbe points in his district where there
was.a political meeting, he aceoeted a boy. some four
teen yean of age, and presenting him with a “quar
ter J’ requested him to distribute the documents among
the crowd. Tbe hoy,somewhat reluctantly, consented.
Standing by him was a little “ sharper,” some 10 years
of age,' v bo immediately spoke up and said he would ail
in the task of distribution, when about one half were
given him; when, as if inspired by a sudden freak ef
generosity, he volunteered to take charge of the whole
batoh. To this the elder boy, who was of a somewhat
sleepy disposition, readily, acceded, thinking, no
doubt, as he had pocketed the “ quarter.” that
hewas driving amost profitable bargain. Tagging under
his load of Press, oar juvenile, friend took hfe de
parture, with the view ef disposing of his freight to the
assembled sovereigns. In about half an hour, Oolonei
Wood, in his electioneering round, came across the
yoaegater, with a crowd of some hundred or two about
him, crying , “ Philadelphia Press, with Forney’*
speech,” and rapidly disposing of them at three esnti
each • Before on. hour be had sold his entire lot, reali
sing some five or six dollars; and. had his supply been
double what it was. he could readily have put them off
at the same rate. That was a cute buy. While kl®
sleepv senior was content with the “ quarter,” without
trouble, be had foreseen In the matter a little specula
tion, and had availed himself of it; and we predict for
him a career of more than ordinary business success in
life.
Market Fachitieb Required.— For some
time past the citizens residing in the neighborhood of
South Eleventh street market have felt the inidequscy
of ihe market facilities In that neighborhood. Petitions"
have, on several occasions, been sent to Councils, ask
ing the extension ef the market two sqaares farther
south, to Carpenter street; and two weeks ago a nume
rously-signed petition Was presented, asking, If Coon*
oils coaid not extend the markets, that they would allow
farmers and gardeners to s*U their produce' from thetr
wagons along Eleventh street, from Shippen to Prime.
All the stalls in Eleventh-street market are rented, and
auoh is tbe competition, when one is vacated, that per
sona frequently give - one hundred dollars premium to
secure the choice; If two more squares were added,
the stalls would be immediately tenanted, and yield a
revenue to the city far beyond the interest of the mooey
it would cost to build them. The last seotion of this
market was built In 1858, since which time tbe neigh
borhood has rapidly increased la population, rendering
more market accommodations a public necessity. ** hen
the market houses are removed from Market street the
dealers must find quarters elsewhere, and a number of
them are desirous of reotirg stalls in Rleventa-ati&efc
market, but at present they cannot get them.
Suspected Arrested*-—'Yosfcov
day morning, before the police magistrate of tbe Twen
ty-fourth ward, a man named James Elliott was charged
with burglary. He was arrested about onfrw’cloek yes
terday morning, while coining out of a grocery store
on Market street, above William. He had four coats
on his back, and one rolled up in a bag. Several very
floe linen towels were also found /upon his person.
They are inscr.bed “H. B. Norris*,” and await an
owner at the Twenty-fourth ward station-house. The
•censed had In his possession a pair of scales and
weights, a saw, a hatchet, a lantern with a candle in it,
and a large store-door key—all of which he Is supposed
to have stolen from the above place. He was com
mitted, -In defimlt of $l,OOO bail, to answer at
court. Subsequently he wss charged with the Jajueny
of seven Vvotj bagatelle'balls. He echnowledged this
theft, and Informed tbe megUtrate where the propatty
could be found. He was held for a further hearing on
thin charge. _
