Townsend & Co., of New York, who possess the copyright of Cooper's novels, have commenced the issue of their new and superb edition, beautifully printed,. on the finest paper, and handsomely botind, with original illustrations by Darley. The volume just published Consists of 505 pages small Bv4, and contains the entire of The Pioneers, which first saw the light in 182'3. , This, the - first of the Letither-stooking novels, was the third in point of coniposition. "Precaution" was not much. "The ppy" showed indications of talent. "The Pio neeis" gave ample evidence that - Cooper was a man of genius. In this new and beautiful edition we have two engravings on steel, executed with deli4ooy and yet with force, from drawings by and a dozen beautiful and charaoteristio headrldeoes and tall-pieces, executed on Wood, after, designs by the same artist, who really seems to hive taken to illustrating Cooper, as a labor of love, so congenially has he translated the author's blea,into that expression which an able artist sometimes happily seizes, which Parley never misses. This new edition of Cooper will probably have as large a sale as any series of volumes ever ; published in this country. It is, emphatically; one of ( the roost - Splendid collections ever issued-- equalled,, only by the. embellished Abbotsford edi-. lion of Scott's Novels, which IS 100 bulky in size and delicate in adornment for daily use. On the oonkrari, tut Cooper is equally adapted for the par43riand,the library. IlonsartoLD WAvEnLay.--We have alluded to the ;Waverley Novels, which reminds us of the beautiful re-issue,•with latest corrections and notes, 'whieh the Boston publishers, Ticknor Al Fieltlo,ave nearly brought to a close. The latest isgueij volumes contain Boott's romance " Count Robert*. Paris," with engravings after T. Allom and,;JOhn Gilbert. "Castle Dangerous," and "Tl 4 burgeon'! Daughter," will appear in the two Including volumes,' to appear , next month. The p4litt will not regreLto learn that the series will.l4:,l4tended to .50 volumes, in order, as the pablisAcr ,state, to allow of, the addition of "the very Wt-r.ndex and Glossary-, together with other important matter, such as a convenient and indis pensable, catalogue of the characters introduced, and wt very minute account of the principal Inci dents in, each novel." Theso aro new and valua ble feMirca, and will, give wonderful complete neas td i the collection. Fiti*Kit , i3Rllllllß'S NEII9 NOVEL.—The meat genial and gifted of old maids, Miss Drainer occu pies a iferemoet place among the writers who are deservedly popular here and in England. She 14c. been • most fortunate in her transla tor.

The new book, milled " Fatheiand, Daughter," Which Messrs. Peter son lateirrashed- through the press and the bind ing-romOn less ,than forty-eight hours, has also been trinslatedlnto English by Mary Hewitt. In this volium, abandoning the hackneyed theme of mere lovers'. courtship,- Frodrika Bremer has chosen fOrher loftier subject the love of a father for his child. In her preface, she says: "I took with me the idea of this story when I last left Sweden ;, the inspiration for it I first ob tained hi a land where, under shelter of the tree of freedons, I ear the relationships of family life developing , themselves in their full beauty and power. West of the characters and occurrences which I have here portrayed are taken from real life." In fact, there is as much observation -as in vention in Ibis romance of family life. In some of her luteipovels, Mae Bremer his occasionally run into exitavaganoo of thought or expression. Not so nowil, The narrative runs smoothly on, the interest deteening through each Successive chap ter, and thenharacters &awn with certainty, ease, and truth:: , liany'bright eyes will be dewed with tears over these pages. Many a strong-hearted man will flitClibiself affeoted in like manner; for, indeed; It to a delightful volume, awakening all the nierWaitionforttufrated. AMERICAN ALMANACK FOR M.—From Messrs. Peterson we have received this useful and relia ble work, published In Boston. This Is the thir tieth annual volume, and we may safely say that the work itgenerrdly'referred to, abroad as well as among ourselves, as a repertory of authentic information upon all points connected with the Government of the United States, federally and separately. Moreover, it contains not only offi cial lists and stotiattoe og the Union generally, but of each State and Territory. The amount of salary for each eMoe is stated, the extent of popu lation, the revenue and debt of each State, to gether with a condensed Chronicle of Public Brenta, and a general Obituary. The Astronomi cal Department, which is full of interest, has been prepared by Mr. G. P. Pond. In the portion de• voted to European statistics wo find much and exact Information, particularly relative to Great Britain and France. The present volume con cludes with a General Index to the last ten volumes (1860-1859) and alio an Index of the Obituary Notices during the same time. Tao Sconnixn or rue WHITE Henna.—A popu lar book (a copy of which never happened to fall into our hands) is "Tom Brown's School Days," written in honor of Dr. Arnold, the great head of Ittigby School, and confessedly the best English preceptor of modern time; a man who won his pupils' hearts by kindness, whereas the Parrs, the Busbys, and others, alienated them by severe and sometimes capricious discipline. Mr. Hughes, who wrote that book, has just produced another, {ftich has "also been reprinted by Ticknor d Fields, of Boston, who preserve some pecuniary interest for the author. Mr. Hughes presents us with a clerk to a Loodon law firm, who is allowed a fortnight's holidays, and does not know how and where to spend them so as to secure a maximum of enjoy ment for a minimum of cost. Luckily, an old schoolfellow, who has become a farmer in Berk shire, invites him down to pass a low weeks in the country, and assist at the Scouring of the White Horse. Now, this quadruped, whioh may be sees at many miles' distance, is only the figure of a horse, about 374 long, cut in the turf, on the side of a groat chalk-hill, and traditionally re ported and believed to have been BO out, in the year 871, to commemorate the battle of Ashdown, there Tough: between the Saxons (under Rings/Ethel red, and his brother, Alfred the Great) and the Danish invaders The Saxons won the day, and Alfrei had the White Horse, the standard of Hen gist, the Dane, out out on the hill-side, where it has since remained for nearly a thousand years. At intervals of several years, the inhabitants of the district assemble to " scour the White Horse," that is to remove the weeds and keep the en oroaching turf from intruding on the antique out line of the steed. On snob 000asions there is not only a country fair, but a variety of rustic sports almost peculiar to the distriot. There was sash a " Souring " in September, 1857, of which, aided by the pencil of Richard Doyle, the artist, Mr. Hughes was the historian. lie brings his Cockney clerk down to the country, puts all the desoriptions into his mouth, (or rather pen,) and sends him away, at the fortnight's end, in love with Luoy, his farmer-friend's pretty sister, and bound to marry her with all docent speed. This book is destined to become popular. It is a lively and racy record of English country life and enjoyments. The manner is as easy as that of Mr. Samuel Tit marsh, when relating the adventures of the " Great Beggarly Diamond "—but the tone is better. Mr. Hughes is not a bitter and cynical satirist, like Mr. Thackeray, / but a thoroughly genial, good humored writer, with a heart in his bosom, as Oli ver Goldsmith had, and as Charles Dickens has. There are some country-ballads in this book, amusingly exhibiting the peculiar patois of the English provincials, each county having its own dialect. As a sample, and because of the sound practical philosophy of the last four linos, wo give a Berkshire ditty, as sung by a brawny young car ter, after the " Scouring," with groat died Philadelphia AN 1 wur in Ou-bit , o gardln, Not myroar nor hat au hour, T'wur ther I teed two maydeae, Milo under Cu-blVe bower, A-githerin of sweet jam-mine, The lilly end the rose.

CIIPI WS GARDEN SYLVAN HOLT'S DAUGHTER.—This is an Eng!i h novel, by Holum Lae, a popular writer, which the Harpers have reprinted. We envy our read, te the gratilloationsof luxuriating, in the calm quiet of home, over this story. We read it in a railros , l oar, and it very pleasantly made us unmindful of the length and fatigue of a long journey. Ma e garet Holt Is the heroine of this novel, is a true woman, who is married (In the middle of ,tho volume) to Colonel Fielding, the man of her choice, and unfortunately separates from him, because be has neglected the adage " better be off with the' old love before you are on with the new." HOW-. ever, the story is free from Vicious scenes and oho,: ranters, and ends as happily as the most romantic boarding-school young demoiselle could desire. It is well written, and has the interest well sustained • all through. DEXTER'S STREET-Tllol3olTS.—Here is a small volume, with illustrations by Billings, written by the hey. Henry M. Dexter, pastor of Plne•street Church, Boston, and well worth notioe: The au thor, who has a sound heart as well as a clear head, has here collected over half a hundred Sketches, written on topics suggested to him in every-day life. They have already appeared se parately, in a newspaper, we believe, and aro of sufficient merit to justify their presentation in book•form. Mr. Dexter is a genial humorist, as well as a Christian minister, and his sketches, though they do not sermonize; have an underour• rant of morality and religion which may be useful, because it is not intrusive. tTIIEL'S Lova-Lim—Margaret J. M. Sweat, *ho wrote ins hooky (published by Mudd & Carle ton, of New York,) has great power of eloquent eipreisien. She has Scarcely any story to narrate, in Ethel' s letters to, her betrothed, but there is a passionate earnestness, not at all sensuous, which will interest many. We were led on, unoon- Measly, to read the volume through, and, though we could ill spare the time, cannot think itwasted. Ethel is a line, frank girl, 'and deserves to find happiness in that wedded life of which, it ap pears, she has not a shadow of apprehension. COREDIRS OF TERERCE TRANSLATED. - The voldme of "Harpers' Classical Library," just issued, contains the comedies of Terence, literally translated into English prose, with notes; by Henry Thomas Riley, of Carcihridge University, (lCugland,) as well as the well-known blank-verse translation by George Colman. The first trans lation is entirely new, and the text of Volbohr . , 1848, has been followed generally. The transla tion is exact and elegant, and the notes, which are numerous, will be found most useful. We retain the opinion that before any pupil be put to learn ing a classic work, be should first know all about it, by carefully perusing such good translations as Harper's Olassioal Library supply. At present, the pupil literally flounders and frets, guesses and scrambles through the classics. Neither would we prevent the use of a translation at any stage of the Instruction ; ' it saves time and facilitates labor. MRS. PULLAN'H LADIIIB' Mannar, or FANCY Worm—From Petersons we have received this book, published at New York. It contains-every thing relating to ornamental needlework that a lady can desire to know, is written with enviable clearness of diction, and contains several hundred wood-engravings, many of them printed in colors. It thus is a handsome as well as a very useful volume. Mrs. Patton has long been standard au thority, in England, upon ladies' fancy-work, and now resides in Brooklyn,phere she wrote the pre sent book—her best. In the Introduction, writ ten in a lively manner, Mrs. Pullen very strongly compliments this country upon its invention of the Sowing-Machine, which, she says, is destined to bring on "the time when women, disenthralled in a great measure from the drudgery and weariness of plain neeslietrork by its extensive introduction, will have more time to acquire, among' other charming accomplishments, that of fancy needle work." She adds, " the day does not seem to me very distant when a Wheeler de Wilson sewing machine 1011 be found in every household, no a matter of course, just as muoh as stoves or chairs." Of the particular machines which she thus names, Mrs. • Pullen speaks from exeerienceohe Says, and only because she has thus proved their utility: As time-sayers, the sewing-machines are invalua ble, and also because of the delicacy, firmness, and elegance of the work. Mrs. Pullen, in her book, gives full instructions for using the ma chine, with notices of the parts of each garment which it can readily execute. . Tua Atorrawroos OF %HAIM'S]) LlPS.—Rnad Carleton, have published this as a companion to " Woman's Thoughts about Women." It is not written by Miss Mulook, as this notice would im ply. It is a series of practical arguments against Old Maidism, and may be read by the anoient celibates with considerable advantage. SOME OF THE PERIODICALS First of all, our own Philadelphia periodicals: Godey's Lady's Book, with a very nice steel en graving, called " Winter," and a miserable wood cut, coarsely executed, entitled " Catching a Tar tar." Peterson's Ladies' Tnternattonal Maga zine, with a pretty steel-plate of "Papa's Break fast," and a Winter Scene, on wood. showing such an old chateau as is described in "Bleak House," powerfully effective, with its strong contrasts of light and shade. Then, Arthur's Ladies' Rome Magazine, with a pretty plate of " Grandfather's Watch." These three Magazines also have ex cellent letter-press, and sin end of fashion-plates. Lastly, Challen's Illustrated Monthly, of which the dark copy of Sir Joshua's 4 Infant Samuel " cannot be considered an embellishment. Some of the literary articles are very good, but this maga zine strikes us as being too serious and sermonizing for young people. Harper's Magazine opens with a most inte resting paper, profusely illustrated, entitled "Washington at Morristown," written by Mr. Tuttle, and literally crowded with details relative to Washington and the people who surrounded him while he wintered in " the Jerseys." The article, "A Christmas in Hamburg," is capital, and ought to have been illustrated. There are some good stories, a heavily didactic lot of ballast treating of " Self-Culture," four new chapters of "The Virginians," (in which, as usual, the story does not advance,) and a very amusing Editor's Drawer. Here we also have (from Mr. Zieber, the Phila delphia agent) the new number of Blackwood's _Magazine, giving the conclusion of Bulwor's fine story, "What will he do with it ?" which the Harpers have just issued in book-form. Other no ticeable papers are these on Japan, the Periodical Press, India undor Victoria's Government, end an Angling Saunter in the North of Scotland. ft Is fair to add that this January number of /Vac?, wood is printed upon as good paper no is used for the original Edinburgh edition, and that this im- provement will bo continued. The Knickerbocker for February has not yet reached us. It is regularly irregular in its ar rival. The Atlantic Monthly (received from Peter : son and Brothers, and also from T. B. Pugh) continues its successful course We turned first to The Professor at the Breakfast Table, and hav ing found him as philosophical, common•sensioal, and amusing as usual, were content, and looked into the continuation of Mrs. 11. B. Stowe's new story, The Minister's Wooing. It favorably pro gresses. As well, each its own way, advance the articles on Dante and Shakepeare, and the story called Bulls and Bears. There is, as the opening article, an eloquent plea for Woman's Rights. Wo notice some notion above the ordinary stamp, and a little poetry. But the prose and prosaic rhapsody called "Did I?" is wholly unworthy of a place in such a periodical as this. No country paper within our knowledge would publish such an absurdity, even if tendered for its full value— nothing. A now number of that admirable Philadelphian quarterly, the American Journal of the Medical Soleness, edited by Dr. Isaac flays, has just been issued. It contains, as usual, a large number of original communications, reviews of professional works, bibliographical or briefer notices, and a quarterly summary of the improvements and dis coveries, at home and abroad, in the Medical M enses. The February number of the Ilistortcal Maga zxne (Amerlean "Notes and Queries") has not et reached us. From its publisher we have re ceived, and shall soon notice, the recently-pub• lished Letters to Franklin from his Family and Friends. A BOY CARRIED OYER TILE FALLS OP NIA.

A night or two since I listened, With'profound Interest, to the narrative of an editorial friend, proprietor and editor of one of the leading Sunday papers, who do ribed a scene of exceeding sad ness, of whioh he had just been witness. He had' called at the lodgings of Mrs. E. P. Lesdernier, who had just returned from giving one of her pub , lio readings. He found the lady depressed in, spirits—almost heartbroken, indeed,, by the ra-; pidiy approaching death of her twin eons—young gentlemen nearly of age—whose fatal disease, eon-! sumption, was soon to claim its victims. They `Were taken ill, nearly at the Same time, a yeari ago, while Mrs. Lesdernier Was pursuing heri profession in California. She immediately re-; turned, took them to the South, trusting that a milder climate might prove beneficial to them,, and, whenever opportunity offered, gave readings as a means of support. Por nearly a year this poor lady struggled against misfortunes that would crush most women, dividing her time be tween her children and her profession, and bur rs, tor from MA snAiles and the applause of her pub lic] duties to the sickbed of her boys. On Sunday week one of them died, and the other, noticing something that 'made him suppose. they were waiting for him, said to his Wetter: 'f rain sorry, mother, to keep you waiting ; I shall be ready-to morrow." And so he was next morning he died. To-morrow their remains will be placed in one grave. Alas ! as the poor mother approaches her desk to read to her audience the sublime ores 'tions of dramatists and poets, who can imagine the . load of sorrow that shrouds her heart I and that 1 while her mouth utters the beautiful commit or the sparkling wit of the playwright, her thoughts and her alfeotions aro with her twin sons In that bourne whence none return. I The Adjutant General of the State has made up tho amount of expenses incurred by the military occupation of Staten Island, growing out of the Quarantine riots, as follows: Pay of 250 officers and men for 1 month and 15 days 518,538 25 Pay of 125 officers and men for 2 months and 8 days 12,128 00 Subsistence, transportation or troops, arms, ammunition, kc 24,573 81 Total For twenty-four thousand dollars of this amount, for the pay of the hoops, Governor King became personally liable by giving his note, which was discounted in one of the banks of the State,-and becomes due some time in the spring. A bill Will be introduced in a few days to reimburse Governor King, pay off this war debt, and assess the amount on the county of. Richmond. Whether more troops will be required to colleit the taxes so leafed is a question for the future. The deaths in this city during the week ending on Saturday last amounted to 431, a decrease of 23 compared with the corresponding week of 1858. Diseases of lungs, sore throat, &0., are quite pre valent, while complaints incidental -to children have abated. ' ,The ,Tom Paine festival was not very largely attended ; but what it lacked in numbers was made up in the largo Infidelity and .any amount of strong-mindedness of those who constituted - the assembly. There waiii heel-and-toe shake, a feed, and things potable. This part of the frolic was presided over by William E. Rose, who read seve ral toasts, which were responded to by Oliver W. Hull, Mrs. Ernestine L. Rose, George W. Vail, and others. The first three toasts were as follows: The Memory of Thomas Paint .—The author-hero of the'Revointion ; the star thetpolnted the way to In dependence ; the light that relieved the darkness that tried men's Route, that dissipated the fears of the timid and encouraged the hopes of the sanguine for the ultimate triumph of right over might, by the in dependence of the United States, the model Republic et the world, with one black spot on it. • Y'he Rights of Man.—The cause for which Paine was expatriated from England, imprisoned in Prance, And persecuted, slandered, and abused, even to this hour, in the United States of 'America. ' Education.—The husbandry or the mind. Plant the thorns of superstition, and 'you will gather the briars and thistles ofThigotry; sow the seed of demon. etrable truth, sod you will reap a plentiful harvest of the fruits or knowledge,. to enrich not only the present bat future generations, The New York News has taken% fresh start in the great , race of New York joirnalism: It an. flounces that has recently been placed upon a substantial PeonniarY footing, and'that it will be . its elm "to restore peace to our troubled orameileL. to ignore past differences; to encourage 'l)oracils °ratio leaders i to abandon all doreestio.finula; - and the various organizations of the party to fall into line, preparatory tirthisrireatnattle of 1800. - " Ate an indication of its more prosperous condition, it opens with a long special telegraphio despatch front Washington, after the manner of the Herald, Tribune, and Times. If the News can,and make itself truly a Democratic newspaper, and stand boldly aloof from the countless cliques and factions that pervade the Demooratlo party of the city and State, it may succeed. Thus far, no such effort has ever been permanently successful. The Tribune has returned to the old plan of placing heads to its editorials in large type. The rumor that there is trouble in the editorial camp of that establishuient, I have the best reason to know, is entirely without foundation. Samuel Wilkeson, Esq , recently one of the editors and proprietors of the Albany Evening Tournal, is now on the editorial staff of the Tribune—having regained health sufficient to warrant a return to his oustommy brain-work. Ile is l a 'ready and able writer. Charles Gaper, one of the cleverest of our pro fessional playwrights, has written a comedy— " Oar Female American Cowin," which was pro duced last evening at Burton's, with decided sac- OeSS. The religious services at the Academy of Music continue to be crowded. One of the most elo quent sermons of the series, was delivered on Sun day evening by a gifted. young Virginian, the Rev. Mr. Hoge, and it is now currently reported that the wealthy old Collegiate Reformed Dutch Church have made overtures for his services, and that the trustees of the Rev. Dr. Spring's ural, one of the wealthiest congregations in the city, have pro posed to him to become the colleague of that ven erable minister. The dark side of New York life, yesterday, re veals a murder, an attempt at suicide, and no end of email villainies. Letter front Washington. Correspondence of The Presaj WAsniewrors, Feb. 1, 1859 The grand feature of the House's performance yesterday has shown which way the wind. blows. I refer to the cold water bath given to Houston of Alabama, and his twenty-million-dollar loan bill. The negative vote of fifty-four members upon the Suspension of the rules for the introduction of the bill was a hard blow, but little expected, I sur mise, by Houston or the friends of that measure. It clearly indicates that it is the will of the ma jority that the only relief to be given to the exi gencies of the public service shall be in the form of an increase of the tariff. This seems to be a settled fast, and no loan bill can stand the slightest chance of success, until such a tariff bill is re ported by the Committee on Ways and Means. Although an effort was made by some to suspend the rules for the introduction of the bill, with a view of afterwards hinging on the tariff bill, by the shrewd and far-seeing members, especially of the Pennsylvania delegation, it was viewed pretty much in the light of a ruse to favor the passage of the bill, which, once obtained, the tariff would be non est invenius with the same "tinkle-me-I'll tiokle-you " sort of individuals. Now that this profile of Cobb's has not gone down with the House, it is to be presumed that a statement relative to the condition of the Treasury will be immediately at hand. And so it is that the finances of the Government being in a most deplorable condition, and that the first loan bill has been so signally defeated, the result must be to hasten on the tariff question. Pennsylvania hal taken a noble stand upon this question, and if her Representatives but preserve her unity of sentiment, as she heretofore has done, and as she must do still, many cheering and happy signs will speedily loom up. The Naval Investigation Committee still con tinues its labors. They have had a large mount of evidence before them to indicate that a great amount of corruption has existed at these yards, and that the work performed has cost the Go vernment double the sum it would have soot pri vate individuals. The Philadelphia and Brooklyn navy yards have been grand workshops of politi cal engineering, for the solo purpose of furthering the political ambition of certain members of Con gress, while the entire revelations of this evidence is of a double-dyed nature. Mr. Morris and others, of your city, it is rumored, will be ex amined before the committee to-day. By a resolution introduced and passed in the House yesterday, the evening sessions will be a matter of nightly occurrence for some weeks to come. As an offset to this, propositions were. made that the speakers should pay for the printing of their speeches, and that speakers should confine themselves to the subject of debate; but they were voted down, and consequently the full license of Congressional debate will be unchecked. Extensive preparations are being made here for the celebration of Washington's birthday, on the twenty second. A grand party will take place at the mansion of Judge Douglas on Thursday evening. The affair of course, be a sumptuous one. Cos.
