FRIDAY* SEPTEMBER 9, 1859. Kecont Literature. AVhat n comfort, to all well-disposed minds, l(f that agreeable production of human intel lect, a good Kovel, Remember that to be good it must bo new —for it la derived from tho Latin word novellas, which comes from noens, which signifies new. Freshness and originality aro expressed in, the generic appel lation Novol. Thomas Gray, tho most elabo of poets, whoso life was really that of a nhsh of letters, once said that his idea of hap- W oBa was “to lio bn a sofa all day and read carnal French romarccs. 55 In his day, there wavo not many no\ els in his own language wdrth reading; Had he lived in our days, how !?<KBiust have been* As yet, there are ■ c * aflB writers of Action in this But tlicso, wc can. clgijn, possess great merit. Brockdun Brown\igpfe J* Foni mpro Cooper, John ]%l' M, Bird, Paulding and WUliam' ■Glhrovo Simms and H. IT. Miss’ IFftraor and 1 K. Hnwthoroo, (whoso «< Trumps” is one of the beat mirrors of New York society yet' given t 6 tlie world, as his « Potlphar Papers* 5 was of Fifth-ave nue pretension and ignorance,) Mrs. Stowe and Miss M. J. Mackintosh, with some half a dozen more, constitute this class, to which also belongs John Rsten Cooke, of Virginia, a national rotnancist, wc do believe, as much as "Walter Scott was. He has written n Tale of 17,74- 5 6, published by Messrs. Harper, of New Y-ork, called “ Henry St, John, Gentleman, of ‘Flower-of Hundreds, 5 in tho County of Prince Georgo, Virginia. 55 This is csscn tiilly an historical novel—historical, be cause many of liis dramatis persona are real personages, whoso names stand boldly out in the provincial, even In tho national, annals of tho country, and romantic', which n novel sllold bo, because' imaginary characters aro in troduced, with their joys and sorrows, their virtues and vices, their loves and hates. As with ono of Ids previous works, (“ Tho Vir ginia Comedians,”) tills story professes to hdiyt) boon taken from tho MSS. of a certain 0.-/EffinghamWe liavo been fascinated— Is tho suitable word—by this woll-wriflen bipk, which nono but a man of genius could i Composed. There are some lovc-advcn », and a few traces of lovers, but the main Interest attaches to tho historical ovents which ,aib hero made to form tho main action of tho story. Thcso aro truly ns well ns forcibly re lated. They show how Dtscontont, in Virginia anil other places, was born of Oppression and rlponod into Revolution, the fruit of which was Inuopendonce and Nationality. Mr. Cooke ha* taken no small pains, In an Appendix, to vefify tho facts which ho has ingeniously used ns,llio woof of, his romnneo. Thero was scarcely occasion for this—but tho proofs aro neit without interest. Among the characters wa liavo l’atriok Henry, Richard Bland, Ed mund Pendleton, General Andrew Lewis, Richard Henry Lee, Archibald Cary, Charles Lop, Governor Lord Hunmorc, Thotmu, Jef ferson, and others well known In tho annals of .Virginia. There is a glimpse of John Randolph, of Roanoke, then only a child. Mr. Gooko tersely describes Henry as tho tongue, JefTerson as the pm, and Washington as the iword of the Revolution. Out femalo readers will bo happy to learn that there is a good deal of luvo-makliig In this story. St. John, a lineal descendant of Pocahontas, makes love to lady for whom we have 6 apartlcu&r «jpird}--Master Thoma» A!gor, a full-dressod boau of tho period, follows suit with bor sister—Jack Hamilton, a disconsolate widower, marries a certain Seraphino—and a promising lad and lass, named Paul Effingham and Beatrice, or “Blossom” Watorswilld o tho like. Thoro arc about tho usual number of understandings and quarrels between tho hero and his sweetheart, (how expressive is that tine old Saxon compound,) and a great deal of suffering, which a word of explanation would have removed. Tho manner in which tho cloud botween the lovers Is finally removed is the only clumsy contrivance in the story, for the expedient of forged letters Is worn thread bare. Of the characters themselves wo could say much, did spaco allow; wo can only re mark that Mr. Cooke’s womanly creations aro real and living beings, and not the mere ab stractions of poetio imagination. They live, they act, tlioy speak, like fair realities. Sir John is a chivalrous gentleman, hut tho por trait of tbo whole story is tho Earl of Dun more, last British Governor of Virginia. Haughty and cowardly, intriguing and insolent, cunning and treacherous, wo liavo him here to tho life. Tw'o other characters are inimitably drawn. These are Captains Foy and Wators. These men had battled in the British service in the European wars; had been together at tho battle of Minden; had been separately complimented by their general for gallant achievements; had quarrelled and fought, each wounding the other. In Virginia, some fifteen ycara later than these occurrences, they meet-again—Foy as privato secretary to tho British Governor, and Waters as a man of standing in tho colony from property and per sonal character. Tlieso two men aro most artistically contrasted. Waters, a patriot, has not forgiven Foy, tho olliciul, for having wounded lilm by a fencing sleight-of-hand, which, from tho place where they fought tho duel, ho calls tho coup de Retnfeh. He is con stantly provoking Foy to fight, and at last suc ceeds—tho coup de Waters finishing Foy’s ca reer most cflcctivoly. These two men are won derfully well drawn; you have them so dourly before you that you seem as if you had asso-' dated withthem for yearn. But we njustieavo our readers, many of whom will also road this book, to discover beauties in it for themselves. It is certainly tho best historical novel that has been published for years, and Virginia should he proud of such a gifted son as she possesses in John Esten Cooke, who has thus presented tho world with the romaneo of his tory as connected with that State. Onco upon a time, it is Baid, a skilHil tran scriber so minutely wroto down tho whole of Horner’s Iliad so that it fitted within tho small compass of a walnut-shell. Tho legond does not inform us whether tho poem was legi ble. Wo have a worthy and highly esteemed journalist in Philadelphia who has outdone this iisdcss feat. Much hotter than tho Iliad in a nut-shell, is “The World in a rocket Rook.” This is tho namo of a valuable and very comploto repertory of statistics and other dcsirublo facts upon almost every imaginable subject connected with tiro World, its condi tion, and Us progress. I'lio author of this hook, of which G. G. Evans, of Chestnut street, has just published tho eleventh edition, is our woll-informed and excellent friend— everybody’s lYicrnl, so highly valued—Mr. William H. Crump, who has boon editorially connected witli The Inquirer for many yours. Tho words « Eleventh thousand ” onliistitlo pago give assurance of the popularity of his book, which is really a remarkable condensa tion of goneral information upon almost ovory subject—commercial, agricultural, his torical, manufacturing, financial, geographical, and so oh. Hr. Cntmp is so rellablo that his hook may bo sately referred to for authentic information. To tho present edition lie lias apponded data which bring his record of facts down tc tho - recent Italian War. A good al phabetical index gives additional valuo to tjjo work, by rendering its numerous facts acces sible. Wo congratulate onr brother of tho craft on having produced a highly useful work, tho merits of which have been fully tested by time. AVhAt have we next 7—a poetical volumo, published by 11. Dexter ft Co., of Now York, bearing the modest titlo of “ Rhymes of Twonty Years,” by Henry Morfonl. This volumo (got up with unusual neatness, and a lino portrait of, tho author) is also from tlio pen of, a brother-journalist, holding high rank, in Now York as Editor of an oxcellont Weekly papor called The Leader. Tho con. tents have been floating about, for many yours, in magazines, periodicals, and news papers, ant! the author docs well to rescue thorn from tlmt erratic state, and collect them thus. Some few aro first published in this volumo. Mr. Morford Las special ability as a lyrist. Iliu strength consists in tho ima ginative faculty being strongly, brought to work out, In song, the great* humanitarian principles which moke man wiser and better. l He takes an ordinary subject, in which a prosaic mind would Observe nothing striking, and treating it poetically produces a lyric which is destined to go “ tlm rounds of the press, 55 in a thousand newspapers, delighting crowdß of readers every whore. It is surprising how melodiously, yet how powerfully he sings. Ho never sacrifices sense to sound, like most of tho word-picking bardlings of the day, but breathes out the thought in good, bold language, which falls into Song, as it assumes form and beauty. Wo must not be content with praising Mr. Morford 5 s purpose and ex ecution, The following will bear oat the opinion wo hare given, and there are nume rous other poems in tho volume more strictly poetic, though, to our feeling, not more strongly* bearing the impress of truth and . simple pathos; THE OLD KNIGHT’S TREASURE, j ’. Sir John wu* old, andgnm and gray; Tho care* of sixty year* he *»re: The oharm of youth had withered away . From his iron feature* long before. In tusduH.chl hou*e of blaokened atone, With servnnts quaint, and tried, and few— For many a year he had livod alone, As the harsh and the cold and the heartjeei do. Thero was plate on his sideboard—plate of price; Hi* pouch had ruddy gold at need; And twenty men might well suffice The lands he held by dovrer and deed. He liml lived—the world said—much too long, Had sold his heait for wealth and power; And Liles, they thought, of bygone wrong, Would be waited, too late, at hi* dying hour. Beside the bod of grim Sir John— The quaint old faded bed of state Where in the centuries dead and gone Had slept gray heads with a diadem’s weight— Beiide hi* bed, and near at hand ' To his easy chair of oaken wood, Fastened and strapped with bar and band, A huge black casket ever stood. No friend of his—they were far and few— Had ever seen the opened lid t Not eventhe tongueof a servant knew What thing of wealth the casket hid. 'Twas rumored that at dead of night, When shut and barred wore windowand door, It opened to the old man’s sight; But that was a rumor—nothing more. Eyes glanced niton it, quick nr.d keen, Anil minds with doubt impatient swelled a What could these year* of mj stery mean ? What could bo the wealth the casket held? 'Twas wondrous wealth—so muoh knew all; For these bold words the covering crossed; “ all, if harm befall, Save this, whatever else is loat!" Perhaps the red gold nestled there, Loving and closo as in the mine; Or diamonds lit the' sunless air, Or rubies Mushed like bridal wine. Some giant gem, like that which bought The half of a raatui in Tiiuour’s day. Might here, beyond tomptation’s thought, Be hiddou in safety : who could say ? Sir John was dead. The needy'heir* Followed close and thick behind his bier, Blending disgust at the tedious prayers With a proper sob and a decorous tear. And scarce the sound of feet had died, Closing the vault for his mouldering rest— Wh*u rung tho chisel—opening wide That strange old guarded treasure chest. What found they ? Faces darkened and frowned. And curses smothered under the breath, An the henvy lid was at last unbound, And the hoirs expectant looked beneath. Not an acre—not a banquet nicie Would all the wealth of the casket buy! No wonder their faces this anger wore— That curled the lip and flashed the eye. What found they ? Top, and whip, and ball, And knife, and cord—each veriest to* That makes, through year* of childhood, all The merrier life of the bri*ht-ejed boy! For thirty year* that lonely man Had held, oh, dearer than honors won, Than the wealth that into his coffers ran— Tht toys of Ms buried baby son Oh, tinman love! oh, human grief! Y« make your place* wide and far / ye ruiUfl in every withered leaf, Ye are heard, perliaps, where theangele are ? In the coldest Ufo may rise some wail, O’er broken hopes and memories fond: God help us. when we set the pale That leaves one human heart beyond!

Another Venus, however, was sent in and TWO CENTS. was rejected, not upon the score of nudity, t, n » because of personal animosity toward the artist on the part of some members .of the committee. From some unexplained reason Mr. Page’s picture shared the same fate. A complimentary barbecue was given to Hon. Wm. Smith, of Qarrisonville, in Stafford county, Va., last week. Ex-Gov.

The steamer Ariel, which arrived here last week from Havrs brought twenty huge cases, contain ing sixty splendid suits of plate armor, for maa and horse, manufactured expressly for the produc tion of A'eTdi’snew openiof “Res Vepres Sic\lli epnes.” .-Some notion ofthe coH of these trap pings may be inferred from the fact that the duties paid on the consignment were nearly throe thousand dollars. The Irishmen of this city have determined to do something in the way of honoring the distinguished Marshal of France who bears an Irish name—McMa hon. A sufficient sum of money—about a thousand dollars—has been collected to purchase a horse, which will be bought this week or next, sod for warded by steamer. The particular animal has not yet been decided upon, but it will be one that will be aliko creditable to the taste of the donors and the reoiplent. The public are so familiar with the uime of Bln. Blandina Dudley, the foundress of the Dudley Ob servatory at Albany, that any little gossip about her is dnugbt up with aviditj. A few weeks since a stra&ge story was made public, and its accuracy sufficiently authenticated, that Mrs. Dudley had been Induced to convey all her large estate to two children of Rutger B. Miller, of Utica, reserving to herself only an annual income of $5,000 dnrirg her life. This foot having beon discovered when the derfd of trust was presented at Utica for record, the other relatives and legal heirs of Mrs. Dudley, undertook an investigation of the matter, whioh resulted In Mrs. Dudley's declaring that she never intended to make such a disposition of her es tate as she was informed she bad signed. Under these circumstances it was deter mined. by the parties interested—(the estate, by her will, was to be divided among five families) —to contest the validity of the deed. Preliminary proceedings were had, when a compromise was hinted at. Ex-Governor King was'chosen media tor, and after some negotiation it was agreed that Mr. Miller should assert to a revocation of the doed, ho being paid $lO,OOO cash for the interest of his children. But this has now been upset by the refusal of Mrs. Dudley, acting by advice of coun sel, to pay tho $lO,OOO. So the xnattor goes to the oourts, where the life of the old lady and the estate may both bo exhausted. Our neighboring city of Brooklyn waxeth wealthy. Tho assessors of that cily have just completed their annual valuation of the taxable property in the several wards of the city, and the result is that Brooklyn is set down as possessing real estato to the value of $00,150,.196, and per sonal to the amount of $10,896,740, making an ag gregate of $101,047,136. The Protestant Churchman, the organ cf what is called the Low Church Episcopalians of New York,Btates that at the Episcopal Convention, to bo held in this city the 28U« instant, a proposition will be submitted for a division of the diocese, and thereby open the way for iho election of Bishop. It also states that a memorial, drawn up by Bishop Onderdonk, will ho laid before the House of Bishops in October next, at Richmond, in which, after acquitting his brethren of improper motives in his conviction, r.cknowledging the jus tice of their act of dieciplit-t, and professing his sincoro sorrow and repentance, he asks that bis sentenoe of suspension may bo remitted. I learn from afriond of Bishop Onderdonk, who is familiar with alt that relates to his interests, that the allu sions to Bishop O. have no foundation in fact. He has never drawn up any such memorial or caused one to be drawn, nor is he making any efforts in the direotion intimated. It is more than prooable that at the General Convention to bo held at Rich mond, some movement, from those formerly op posed to Bishop Onderdonk, will be made for his restoration, but whether it will bo successful or not is altogether problematical. The Rev. Dr. Hawks has declinod the Professor ship tendered to him by tho University of North Carolina. Tho Hon. John Forsyth, of Mobile, and recently minister to Mexico, is a guest at tho St. Nicholas.

A Startling Anagram.— The New York Album says that the name so much in men’s mouths, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, mar, by transposition of the letters, be converted into an open plot— arouse, Albion ■ Mr. Editor : The name of tho remarkable man (at present occupying the most conspicuous position in tho world) alluded to in the above article culled from your ablo paper, is quito fruitful in anagra matio constructions. I submit two. First, his Im perial Majesty sees proper to curb his covetous neighbors, and pulls the check rein, thus signing his august initial . iVo / Austrian people, No!\Oba, L. (For Oba read obey, an anagramio liberty.) He next disposes of bis Pontifical Highness and h!s reign, In a summary manner, thus: Be soon a ruin, no Pope at all. To those who attach significance to anagrams, this last is singularly coincidal to the mission as signed to this man by some able interpreters of prophecy—namely, the downfall of the Papal power. t Messrs.

The nomination of Marshal McMahon to the command of the a*mjr of observation of the North, with his headquarters at Lille, is stain spoken of as certain. Marshal Niel had been appointed, but it was considered prudent not to leave him close to Marshal Omrobert, whose headquarters are at Nancy, as it is known that a very bad understanding exists between these two war riors. On the arrival of M. Farini, to *Mame the dicta torial government of Parma, a portion of the troop* prt'claimed tbeir fidelity tn the Bourbon Duchess, and took possession of the small fortress of Bardi. intending to hold it for their sovereign*)long as there shall remain any chance of the restoration. The Fey * also an nounces that a French division, commanded by General Bonrbeke, arrived at Parma on Sundav ;*and a contem porary suggests that the pretence of the French troops would teem to foreshadow the armed intervention of France tn the actual crisis, (or the restoration of the expelled dynasties. Yet the official and Governmental press in France is unanimous in repelling the imputa tion oi such a policy to the Preach Government. A proclamation of Ricftsoli, the Minister of the Intenor of the Tuscan Government, to the army, plainly radicates i that in the mind of that Government there may be yet some fighting before liberty and independence are esta blished in Central Italy. •• The Qfteni/ Wifntt Z/ifinir contains toe fouowiar Imperial decree: ‘ Count Rechberg,wbo retains his jest as Minister for Foreign Affairs, is appointed President of the Cabinet.

The artiele couclodec thus: ‘Too great caution in advancing is as much to be avoided as too ranch haste.*” . . 1t 1b said that the Duchess of Parma has rcceired very favorable assurances from Zanch, and that she will be restored to her former position, she undertaking to grant a Constitution 09 a liberal basis, and to adhere to the Italian Confederation, The plenipotentiaries hare, through the medium of the Federal Council, couveyed their thanks to the Government of Zurich for the excellent reception they have met with, M. Von Rettig has arrived here from Vieonawith despatches. Letters received here today, from Tangier*, state that the Emperor of Morocco is seriously ill, and the English physician has been summoned in great haste. Fears are entertained of disturbances taking place in ease of his death. A Perilous Voyage Across the Atlantic* Some few months ago instructions were received ta Eugland !>y Mr. John Watson, of London, wboiscon- of the tfnderraking, to despatch to Bahia a small screw boat to ply in connection with thq Bahia Railway. Accordingly, a pretty htUe craft was built of steel plates, and ns it was utterly impossible to steam such distance, even hod she boen freighted with coal, it was resolved to sepd the Little Lucy to Bahia under sail etooe. Al thouthonlj twenty tons register, to obviate too great buoy anev, which would have proved fatal in a sanaQ, she was loaded with eighteen tons of cargo, and started from the Tses on her tong and perilous voysre. Ou reaching Fabnou(h the captain and crew, becoming faint-hearted, put into that port, and declined to proceed further. A message was then tent down toLner pool, with the object of procuring a captain for the little remet. Ultimately Cantera Richard Breckon, a member of the Liverpool Mercantile Mann© Asso ciation, and the all-wit successful candidate for the schoolship Coawav, offered to navigate the rasselto Bahia. After much difficulty a crew was got together, but no fragile was the appearance of the tiny bark that ono of the crew absolutely Jumped overboard no »«« than sixtimesin a vain attempt to escape, the gallant cap tain, on each occasion, captnnng tee woakl-be runa way. On the 20th of April last, the Little Lucy again being ready for sea. Captain Brgckoo hoisted sail, and fearless!* steered down channel, hi* friends at Falmouth bidding him a sorrowful adieu, with the conviction that he never would reach Bahia- The hold captain, how ever, had no such f3ara: he had been to every pert of tho globe, was thoroughly fhrailiar with every trade, and. hAvint confidence tn mehttle craft, with a roll end flowing sail the Little Lucy bowled down channel, and the result nrored that lAßbun Breckon’s judgment was rich*. Nothing of importance occurred until the Teasel reached the Bay ot Biscay, when she encountered two severe sales, but, miraculous ns it seems, she weath ered both nobly, rising like a cork to every wave. There is no. doubt that to the unparalleled seamanship of Captain Breokon was due mainly the safety of the vessel and her orew. After clearing the Bay of Biscay the Phtobe Dunbar, a Urge ship belonging to London, with passengers on board, ceecried the Little Lucv.and.as toniihed to see so small a craft in such a latitude, the master signalled to Cap*. Breckon his wish to^cpmmn- Breckon entered Bahia.where the appearance of hta vessel created, at might be expected, a great sensation* When the length of the voyage is considered, the small ness of the vessel in which it WM made, the snort tune in which it was accomplished,and the dangers and risk to be encoantered. the voyage or the Little Lucy is an event perhaps without paraßeifor courage, skill, and daring. Captain Breckon is now in Liverpool, and it 1a to be hoped that tha rare Qualities h« possesses may find a 6ttin* sphere for their development.
