An autograph is more than merely an object of historical, literary, or social history. It is a relic of the actual writer, whose hand has traced the writing, and passed across the sheet. In an autograph, we have something which the writer must have touched.' It is like touching the writer only= once re moved. Here, for example, two autographs aro now before us—little more than signa tures, yet singularly interesting. One is the handwriting of Wri.m.A.3l FALCONER, author of " The Shipwreck," the other of the celebrated Rev. Jens WESLEY, founder of the religious sect of Methodism. We have e word to say about each, and conmirce with the Poet. The History of Literature, unhappily fruit ful as it is in examples of misfortune, has scarcely any more melancholy than that of WILLIAM FALCONER, Wheel) whole career might be described as a life-long struggle with diffi culties. A Scotchman, born in 1780, he was the son of a barber—an occupation which was followed by his townsman, ALLAN RAMSAY, the poet of Edinburgh; those eminent judges, the late Lord TENTERDEN and the present Lord Sr. LEONARDS (better known as Sir EOWARD SIIODEN) were also barber's sons. Permoxxn was launched into the world of action very early as a sailor boy, and had become second mate in a merchant vessel, when •he was wrecked, off Cape Colonna, In the Levant, be fore he was 18. Entering into the Royal Navy, he became servant to a purser, who cul tivated letters, and not only allowed him the use of his books, but took a pleasure in in structing him. FAtoomnit's debut in authorship was at the age of twenty.oue, when ho published some elegiac, verses on the death .of FREDERIC, Prince of Wales, father of GEORGE 111. This effusion had smooth versification; and a groat amount of what is called " loyalty," but it excited little" attentien—uor did it merit much. At the age of twenty-seven, the poet was promoted to the quarter-dock as a midshipman. He was shipwrecked, a se cond time, in 1760. There wore seven hun dred and thirty-four men on board the Rami fies, and- only twenty-six persons escaped, of whom FALCONER was one. The well-known sea-ballad "Cease; rude Dorcas? was written alter this casualty. In 1762, "The Shipwreck, in three cantos, by a Sailor," was published in London, and immediately took the high stand, in English poetry, which it has since retained. So en tirely was it a narrative of facts, that Fame- NELL prefixed to it a chart of the ship's way, and a section of the ship itself, to illustrate the details. No doubt tho events of his ship wreck on the Britannia were more especially in his mind, while writing this poem, for the ship bears the same name, and the wreck, which took place, in fact;off Cape Colonna, has the same locality in the fiction. .cc The Shipwreck" went into a second edition in two years, and has since been repeatedly re printed. Experienced officers have declared that the whole course of working a ship, through a tempest, as laid down in this poem, is exactly what a judibious and well-. skilled seaman would have taken. In other words, it Is practical as well as po— etical—a rare combination. There is reality in the narrative, and all the power which re ality bestows. The skill with which the dig nity of poetic composition is maintained, even while the most familiar technical phraseology of navigation is employed, is ,almost marvel lous. The second .edition, by the way, con tains a thousand lines more than the first.' FALOONIM'S original design *as merely, to „da!terlhe wreelc.` But, as Pori enlarged hie 1 4001 itib'l4oW2'lo4a44 1.14:14.14vg; otho sylomw so dick 416' poem by introducing, in the ,audttional the characters of AlbOrt and Redmond; (the first and second In command,) with the lovers, Palemon and Anna. A pursership in the navy rewarded FAL CONER'S poem, and on the comparative ease and competence which this situation gave him, ho completed his Marine Dictionary, the labor of many years. It was published early in 1769, and immediately after its appearance FALCONER was appointed purser tothe Aurora, a British war-frigate which was despatched to convey to India Mr. HENRY VANSITTART, father of the late Lord BEXLEY. This ship left England on the last day of September 1769, touched at the Cape of Good Hope, Which she left on the 27th December—and never reached port. Captain LEE, who com manded the ship, insisted on taking her through the Mozambique Channel, of the navigation of which ho was wholly ignorant, and lost the ship through his rashness and want of judgment. WILLIAM FALCONER, whose poem was so sadly prophetic of his fate, was 39 -when he perished. Ho left no children, and less is known about him than almost about any other English poet. He never was in what could be called easy circumstances, but, a little before he embarked on his last fatal voyage, is said to have received an offer of partnership in the publishing business, established about that time, by Jong MURRAY, of Fleet street, Lon don, father of BYRON'S publisher and friend, and grandfather of the present Jourr MURRAY, publisher, of Albemarle street. - Falconer's Marine Dictionary, which con tinues a high authority—though steam-navi gation makes a now and extended edition very requisite—appeared in 1769, and was repeat edly reprinted. In 1815 the sixth edition ap peared, revised and enlarged by Dr. WILLIAM BURNEY, with new engravings. It was pub lished in 410, at the price of four guineas and a half, equal to $l9. At that time it was con sidered the best authority. It mast be greatly modernized to adapt to present use. We have before us the fragment of a receipt for the subscription-money, part of which, according to the custom of the time, was paid in ad vance. It runs thus, in print and manuscript, the italicised words being FALCONER'S hand -writing : The book will bo ready to deliver to the sub scribers in March 1768. 5 * The prise will be closed after the Subscription is closed. Received of Air. RobB s rt Toes. Half a Guinea, being the First Payment for the above Work ; which I promise to deliver accord ing to the Terms of the Propcsids. The work in question was the Marino Dic tionary, (its title-page calls it a Dictionary of the Marine,) and the handwriting in the above, undoubtedly FALCONER'S, is bold, running, and legible. This autograph is exceedingly scarce—indeed, there is not a duplicate of it in the British Museum. One of our earliest recollections, however, is of having seen a full Prospectus of the Dictionary—in fashion of a full title-page—with the receipt at foot, and the plain, bold signature attached. We knew nothing of the value of autographs at the time, (our own was in the incipient or chrysalis state known as pot-hooks and hang s,) but we knew that poor FALCONER had written if The Shipwreck," and met the doom which he so poetically and prophetically de scribed. We find here that the incidental notice of FALCONER has run into greater length than we anticipated. The Reverend Jowl WESLEY, who had many occasions to exorcise patience while living, must wait a few days until we can pay attention to him. There is a little story about' this particular autograph of his in our possession which we cannot afford to throw into a few sentences. CAPITAL PenssnmENT.:—While several States have made strenuous efforts of late years to abolish capital punishment altogether, the Legislature of Georgia is now endeavoring to extend this penalty to other crimes than murder and arson. Two bills have boon introduced, with a view to make both night burglary and robbery by force capital of fences; but each hos failed in the Senate. They have, however, been amended so as to snake the punishment twenty years in the penitentiary, at the discretion of the port. Linos - on the Death of Thomas L.

THE HISTORY OF PROSTITUTION, ITS EX. TENT, OA.T.ISE3 AND EFFECTS THROUGHOUT THE 'WORLD. 1 vol. Bvo pp. :885. By WILLIAM w. SANGER, M.D. New York: Harper 4.• Brothers. Society, until recently, has been content to shut its eyes to such social evils as it lacked the courage to grapple with. Currer 8011, in " Shirley," re marks, with much force . and point : "To sash grievances as society cannot readily cure it usually forbids utterance on pain of its Scorn; this scorn' being only a sort of tinselled olodk to i to deformed weakness." In fact, it is much' easier to ignore glaring wrongs in the body politic than to risk the reformer's usual fate in trying to; right them. It is much cheaper to gain credit for virtue by de nying all knowledge of vice than by making open confession of what is patent to the most careless observer, and by earnestly seeking for the efficient remedy. Though modern society has much to plead guilty for and mush to blUsh for, still the laet few decades bear witness that it has awakened to a consciousness of the fatal erior of apathy in regard to matters of the meet vitel importance to its well-being. The most convincing, evidence of the fact is the rich harvest of iesult which, has waited en philanthropic effort, and which has in augurated Asylums for the Destitute, Five-Points i Mission Schools, Ironies for Friendless Children, 1 and the many other practical schemes of benevo lence now in active operation, ,these same spirit which has stimulated reform in ,these directions, has prompted and directed the investigation out of which the present volumel has come. The social reformer cannot, be called to Solve a more difficult problem than that which is here brought under discussion. I • Dr. Sanger has earned a high reputation as Phy sician-in-Chief to the Blackwell' Island Hospital, New York—a position whioh has;afforded him pe okliar means for the fulfilment of his humane task. The volume now submitted to the public is, in fact, an official report to the "Board of Alms house Glovernors." of New rotk,.by whom its statements and facts are entirelyiendorsed. How ever startling and frightful ma'' be the details which Dr. Sanger has summed together, they have the warrant, so far as the city of New York is in volved; of official inquiry, having been arrived at by a recent and very minute , investigation. made under the immediate cognisance if ,the Police De , .... , partnieht Of that city!'

The career of these poor outcasts of society is fearfully brief, not extending; on an average, over four years! Ignorance anti intemperance are found to go hand in hand as their attendant spirits of evil. T wo•thirds of these women bad not received the first elements of a common-school education, and five-sixths confeised to the ha bitual use of alooholio stimultinta—the latter characteristic being almost invariably a heredi tary legacy from intemperate parents.— Out of the two thousand who made full replies to the official inquiries, it appears that 1,349 had lost fathers, and 1,234 bad lost mothers. Of the pa rents, fourteen hundred and seventy-nine had died before their daughters had reached the age of fifteen—a foot impressively elsquent of the value of parental influence. AMong the prime causes of this moral degradation, next to the lack of parental training, is the very inadequate re muneration of female latter ; and on this point the array of proofs is as convincing as it is melan choly. From carefully-propared statistics it up pears that in Now York city the amount of capi tal Invested far the support of this social evil Is not lees than four millions of dollars, whilst the pecuniary damage inflicted on the community roaches the enormous amount of .seven millions per annum ! Returns from other cities nro given, and if the results of the inquiry instituted during Mayor Yana's term era not wide of the truth, Philadelphia stands in very favorable contrast with New York, its percentage being lower than that of any other oily in the Union. The total number returned for this city, in September, 1856, was slightly under six hundred—a , number which Dr. Banger regards as very much undirstated. How far the sterling principles of morality of the disciples of Penn may have operated to produce this marked contrast, we do not pretend to esti mate, but we feel confident that they have had a potent effect, and wo do not doubt that the moral tone of Philadelphia is, In consequence, far above that of .her great commercial rival. Dr. Sanger deserves groat credit for the ability and research which be has brought to the difficult task he has essayed. His statistics are wonder fully minute, and his generalisations are natural and logical. His language is chaste and elevated, and wholly free from any suspicion of catering to a prurient taste. Ho presents the evil in all it: hideous deformity, and not glossed'over with any fascinating coloring. lie proves , conclusively, from historlo data, that prohibitory measures have signally failed to suppress or oheok the evil, theta crying necessity exists for some action, and that mo tives of the wisest policy require a change of proce dure. His examination and disoussionof the beet plans to be adopted, with a view to ameliorate the evil, evince a heart full of humanity and a mind im bued with sound philosophy. Tho effect of the volume cannot be otherwise than beneficial, and of this foot the names of the publishers would afford, if it wore needed, a very strong warrant. We trust its mission may bo soon accomplished in the inauguration of practical reforms in this new sphere of benevolence.

(Prom the Washington Union of Nov. 28th.] This able officer is now in this city, under orders for special duty. , The expedition of Captain Marcy from Fort Bridger to New Mexico last winter, on which he was despatched by General Johnston, for the pro curement of horses; mules, and cattle for the army at Camp Scott, was one of the most remarkable on reeord. The route he pursued, .which lay In a pretty direct line across the Übinty and Rooky 'Mountain chains, had:been traversed beforein the summer tittle by hunters and trappers, but bad always been set down, even by these hardy men, as impracticable in the winter season. The old mountaineer Bridger . prononneed the expedition impracticable. Captam.Marev set out from Fort Bridger, however; on the 27th November last, with forty soldiers, twenty-two citizens, thirty days' ra tions, and sixty-five mules, and reached Fort Mas sachusetts, New Mexico, six hundred and thirty miles from Camp Scott. with the loss of but a sin gle man, on the 17th of January, performing the journey in the depth of the winter. Immediately after entering the mountains, (we derive our information from official papers,) the snow became so deep that it was impossible for the animals in their jaded state to make any pro gress through it. Forty men were accordingly placed in advance of the mules to break a track for them. This course, which was pursued from day to day, enabled the party slowly to farce its way up the western slope of the mountains ; but the snow rapidly increased in depth as they ad vanced, when, as they approached the summit of the mountains, it lay about five feet deep upon the level, and here the leading men were obliged to crawl upon their hands and knees to prevent sink ing to their necks. The progress of the party was necessarily very slow, and although they labored most faithfully every day from daylight till dark, yet they ad vanced only nineteen miles in five days. The ani mate, finding no forage except the pine leaves, be came weaker continually. Many of them had died, and those remaining were reduced to a state bordering on starvation. The majority of the men had worn out their shoes before one half of the journey was performed, and, owing to their ex posed condition, several had their feet badly fro zen, rendering it exceedingly painful for them to march or sleep. On the 3d of January the rations were all con sumed, and the party was reduced to the necessi ty of subsisting upon such of the animals as be came exhausted and could perform no further ser vice. This meagre and unwholesome diet with men who wore undergoing the most intensely severe labor that the human system is capable of sustaining, soon told upon them, and after a few days they became weak and emaciated, while the amount of labor they could perform sensibly di minished. Yet this little band of excellent sot, diers, all of whom had volunteered for this severe service, performed the hard task allotted them cheerfully and with alacrity, and no one of them during the entire march, ever uttered a murmur or manifested the slightest insubordination The bravo men had undertaken the difficult and den- gerous service for the laudable purpose of procuring food and animals for the comrades they had left at Camp Scott, who, there was good reason to be• lieve, from the famished condition of the small number of animals which remained to them after . . . the long march from Fort Leavenworth, and the attacks of the Mormons on the trains, would be in a condition of want before the party could re- turn. It is known that Captain Marcy obtained the desired supplies in New Mexico, except American horses, and that he returned safely to Camp Stott with his welcome purchases. The return route of the expedition was from Fort Union over the Raton mountains; thence skirting the wcs ern base of the Rocky mountains, across the head-waters of the Arkansas and South Platte rivers to Bridger'a pass at the Laramie river; thence along Bryan's trail to Sege creek ; thence north across to Bitter creek, and down that to Green river, and to Camp Scott—the whole ma king a distance of seven hundred and forty miles. It is a noticeable foot in regard to this road, "that it affords a panne from the waters of the 4tlantloto those of the Poi& without going over a mountain.. The anent to the summit level of the Rocky Mountain chain is here so very gentle as to be almost imperceptible, and for sixty miles upon the plateau forming the dividing ridge the eve cannot distinguish which course the wateg takes." It will bo remembered that great apprehension was felt lost the Mormons who, in strong parties, wore sant out to waylay Captain Maroy, should euccoed in stampeding the animals and cattle he was bringing in from New Mexico. This officer, however, had provided against any such disaster. Ile Pad enlisted in his party, while in New Maxi ' eo, all the experienced hunters, mountain and frontier men that could be found, and thus pre. pared to act on the offensive, by anticipating the enemy,. and stampeding their own horses and mules. There is no doubt that he would have as tounded.. the Mormons -by`completely succeeding in this project had they fallen in with him in their scenting excursions. Captain Marcy is the anther of the valuable report on Salt Lake Valley, which, has been pub lished by the Government, in a large volume, and to which the country is indebted for nearly all its accurate information in regard to the Mormon Country. .
