The new novel by the author of “ Qaeecby,” now In the pross of Messrs. Lippioeott, will be oalled “Say and Seal.” Mias Augusta J. Evans, of Mobile, said to be very handsome and not long out of her teens, has written a lone-novel of Southern life, called Beulah, which shows ability of no common de gree and great constructive power. It is published by Derby and Jackson of New York. An enlarged edition of «The Napoleon Dy nasty,” containing a vast amount of Information respecting all the Bonaparte family, has just been published by Sheldon k Co., of New York, and brings the narrative down to the close of the Italian War. It is written in adaahing, spirited, striking manner', and in addition to its former por traits there is given a new one of the Empress Edgenie, after Winterhalter's famous portrait. That remarkable sensation book, “Out of the Depths : the Story of a Woman’s Life,” repub lished by W. A. Townsend A Co., of New York, is attracting attention and dividing public opinion in this country as it did in England. It reallv is the autobiography of a woman of the town, and shows no Email knowledge of the dreadful life of people of that class. It docs not contain an im pure thought or sentence, nor can it awaken an impure idea. The story is tinged with romance, too, but yet reads as if it were based on fact. A Com|>endmm of Classical Literature, by Prof. Charles D. Cleveland, of this city, is announced as nearly ready for publication. He is well qualified by literal education and literary taste for such a work, whioh, we learn, “will embrace a general view of tho moat eminont of the Greek and Latin poets, historians, philosophers, orators, and mis cellaneous writers; with their lives, accounts of their writings, and choice extracts (selected or original translations) from their works; and brief notioesof such classical writers as are less gene rally known and road.” The seventh volume of tho Now American Cyclo paedia has just appeared. It contains a world of information upon many subjects.

New York, was engaged on a Diary of the Ameri can Revolution, collected from the Whig and Tory newspapers of the period,.and from original does menu. It is to be completed in two Bvo. volumes, one of which (in his possession as a specimen by which to collect subscribers,) has been exhibited to us by Mr. John McFarlane, agent for this State, the District of Columbia, and Canada. It will bo published by C. Scribner, of New York. The spe cimen volume in question is incomplete, wanting one hundred pages as yet—having been bound for canvasring. Enough thoro is, however, to show ui that the work will be extremely valuable and interesting. As the Preface says: “ The diary form of the work presents the every day life of the people—this day news of the 1 affair at Lexington,’ or tbo ‘ bloody at King’s Mountain, is brought to us, and the next, someone jokos on the ridiculous figure Earl Percy made re treating beforo the provincials, ‘ who fought like savages from behind stone walls and fences all the twelve miles from Concordor another page pays a well-merited tribute to the ‘gallant Ferguson, who fought like a hero for Ms king. 1 One day the pious Dr. Leonard preaches patriotism and self reliance to the anuy at Cambridge, and the same aftornoon Putnam goes out with his forces to fight the British on Hog Island. Thu day General Washington arrives, ‘amidst the acclamations of the largest multitude ever gathered iu New York,* and in tho evening ‘our new* Governor Tryon lands quiotly from the ship‘Juliana,’ which tho day beforo anchored at Sandy Hook, being ju<t thirty-five days from England. The work also con tains accounts of the balls, parties, marriages and deaths, oriticituns upon men and books, wedding parties, slcigh-ridcs, tho Whigs tarred and fea thered by tho Tories, and vice versa; fox hun'&by offieersof tho British army; surprises, birthday colohrntions, practical joke 3 by men whom wehavo boon taught to bolievo were of the mo3t serious natural disposition; patriotic songs and ballads * horso racc3, games, masquerades, reviews; anec dotes of tho most oelebratod men and women, po pular merriments and usages, and the oelobrations of national festivities ” The work i 3 ably anno tated, where necessary. The illustrations, con elating of plans of cities and portraits, are admira bly engraved. Mr. Moore has hit upon a novel idea, which no other man of our time could aocom pletely work up. Ilia American Songs and Ballads, and American Eloquence, show his marked ability na a historian and antiquarian. The July number of tho Irish Quarter!)/ Review devotes over ono hundred and thirty pages of small print to a biographical and critical notice of Lady Morgan, the latoly-doceased Irish novelist. She commenced by writing bitter-bad poetry- Her biographer says: “It wasofton at tho most un seasonable moments that the muse would turn caressingly to Sydney. Sometimes, when in bed at night, enveloped with darknosa and Limerick ,blankets, a gush of insptratiop would saturate the little poet’s brain.” How sho camo to havo a hus baud and got him knighted is thus rolatci: “ Sur geon Morgan, in tho mean time, with n smitten heart, followed Sydnoy Owen&on to Dublin, and persecuted her with declarations of the love which filled him to distraction. Tho popular Duke of Richmond invited tho authoress and Mr. Mor gan to ono of the private balls at tho Viceregal Court, llis Excellency, in tho course of a lounging conversation with Miss Oweuson, playfully alluded to the matrimonial report which had begun to be bruited about, and expressed a hope to ha\o the pleasure, at no distant day, of congratulating heron her marriage. ‘The rumor respecting Mr. Norg&n'iide'voittiiicai,' she replied, 'may or may not bo true; but this I can at least with all candor nnd sincerity assure your Grace, that I shall remain to the last day of my life in sin gle blessedness unless souio more tempting induce ment than tho mere ebango from Miss Owonson to Mistress Morgan bo offered me.’ The hint was takeD, and Charles Lennox, Duko of Richmond, in virtue of tho powers of his office, knighted Surgeon Morgan upon tho spot.” Then she married him, and bccamo Lndy Morgan—forty, hut neither fat nor fair. In " American Photographs,” by the Misses Turnbull, recent tourist* In theUnitod.

Then the lady has missed a native dish ot ‘‘chick en fixens.” * The Critic , a literary journal in London, be lieves it perfectly true that an American agent is in England, “ who offered Mr. Dickens £lO,OOO down in cosh if ho will bind himsolf to give a se ries of readings in America” The actual offer, as wo happen to know, was $25,000, or half tho amount named here.

It oeeupled about seven columns, altogether, la the Ledger, and wae really not nearly so good as Emerson Bennett would have written. The subject is eld, being the case of Wainwright, the English artist-anther, who insured the lives of bis relatives and friends, and poisoned them off to get- the money promised by the policies. Bulwer, it may be remembered, founded his novel of “Lucretia” on this aetoal occurrence. What i a Mr. De Quineey'a real patronymic? Ihe correspondent of a Manchester paper write* thus: “Sir—Sixty-five years ago come Deem Ur, I was apprenticed to the drug business in the shop now occupied by Mr. Gibbons U Market-street lane. The adjoining premises, cow Mem. Thom* son, booksellers, wts then a warehouse, the firm Mullion A Lennox, in the Irish linen trade, no cessors to Mr. Quinesy. I knew Mr. Qcineej’j residence very well; it was then a delightful walk in the fields, in the neighborhood of Greenbeys, Cornbrook, separating the road from the grounds. I wish to sak yon if you think you are eorreet in •dding ‘D*’ to the name Quineey? I kuow D« Quineey, the Opium Eater, ttils ns he spent hie early days here, at Greenbeys; but that addition to the name was not nsed at the time to wbleh I have alluded, so for as it eama to my bearing. Yours respectfully, A Puscnaszn. Broughton, August 25,1859. P. 8. I always thought the *IV was added by the Opium Eater to give more con sequence to his name.” To this the editor adds: “ We cannot answer the question further than by stating that in Laurent’s map of 1793 It i* marked as *Mr. Quincey’s bouse,' tho *De' being omitted. The name does not occur in the oldest Manchester directory that we have at hand, that of 1797” There i? a great lottery of old 'pictures in Lon don. “ The Birth of Jupiter,” supposed to be by Julio Romano, cost Lord Xorthwaek £6O, and was bought for the National Gallery, at his sale, tor £l,OOO. A “Venus,” presumed to be by Titian, which was purchased at an auction some years ago for less than £2O, has been bought by the Duke of Wellington, on the advice of BaropMaro cheth, the sculptor, for £5,000. The paternity of both pictures is very doubtful. Gotham is a name often gjven to New York by Its inhabitants. In Europe, it is a term of re proach, and “ the wise men of Gotham ” is gene rally laughed at. In Kelly's Proverbs of all Na tions, the following explanation is gfrun; Gotham is a village of Nottinghamshire, declared by uni* versal reasons unknown, to be the headquarters of stupidity in this country, on whoso inhabitants all sorts of ridiculous stories might be fathered. The convenience of having such a butt for sarcasm has been recognised by all nations. The ancient Greeks had their Bceotfo, which was for them what Suabia is for the modern Germans. The Italians compare foolish people to those of Zago, “ who sowed needles that they might have a crop of crowbars, and dunged the steeple to mako it grow.” The French say, “ Ninety-nine sheep and a Champenese make a round hundred,” the man being a stupid animal like the rest. The Abbe : Tuet traces back tho origin of thti story to Cseearis conquest of Gaul. Before that period the wealth of Champagne consisted in flocks of sheep, which pa’.d a rate in kind to the public revenue. The conqueror, wishing to favor the stable of the pro vince, exempted from taxation all flocks numbering less than a hundred head, and the consequence was that the Champenese always divided their sheep into flocks of ninety-nine. But Caesar was soon even with them, for he ordered that in fatora the shepherd of every flock should be counted as a sheep, and pay as one. PERSONAL.
