Notices of Now Books* Tho setonoo of Political Economy, of tho groat ost national importance, although of comparatively recent organization, hag found an able exponont in Mr. George Tucker, forraorly Representative in Congress from Virginia, and Professor of Moral Philosophy in tho University of Virginia. Ho has published an ootavo volumo, of no great bulk, on- HUod “Political Economy for the People,” which, it strikes us, is one of tho most oloar and least con* trovertiblo treatises on the subjeot overwritten. It is a compendium of leoturoa whioh iie delivered in tho University of Virginia, yrith such alterations and additions ns his further experience and reflec tion havo suggested. Tho best chapters aro upon Rent, tho various sorts of Industry, Capitol, and Munoy, Published by C. Sherman tfc Bon, Phila delphia. Wo have received, published by D. Van Noa irnml, Now York, n volume by William Howson, Civil Engineer, upon tho “ Principles and Practice of Embanking Lands from TUvor* Floods, as ap plied tothoLevcosofthoMississippi.” Wonrofree to confess that tho subjeotof River Embankmont is now to us. Mr. Ilewson, however, tells us a great doal upon tho general question, and more particularly upon tho embankments of the Missis sippi. lie was employed upon tho dralnago am} reclamation of the Urent Valley of the Yaxoo, aud. .thereforewritos with, that .certainty of‘knowledge which prnoticel oxperionoo and thoroughly scienti fic acquirements glvo. The subject isonoof very great publio importance, and Mr. Howson has acted wisely in showing precisely what tho diffi culties are, bow they can bo ovorcomo, and what tho result. A fifth edition of a book, before the first was woll advertised, is a novelty, even in this book-making age. Snob wo havo, however, in “ Gold-Foil,” by tho writer whose vom de plume Is “ Timothy Tit comb,” who takes a great many proverbs, upon which he discourses, rationally and pleasantly. Dr. J. G. Holland, author of that oxcollcnt book. “ Bitter-Sweot,” is tho Ycrnoloua Timothy Ttt~ comhy who writes prose almost as well as ho writes poetry, which Is Baying much. Ilia “ Gold-Foil,” hammered, he says, “ from a hundred proverbs,” is really a collection of well-writton essays upon vnrlous subjects. It is published by C. Scribner, New York. A volumo of Sermons, by Charles Kingsley, who is at once divine, poot, and novelist, hns been pub lished by M. Doolndy, Now York. Dcspito his ap proach to Fourierism, Mr. Kingsley has lately been appointed chnplain to Quocn Victoria. His sor mons aro tho shortest we ever read—the avorngo being about nine 12mo. pages to each discourse. As plain, practical sermons they are scarcely to bo surpassed. Tho Life of John Wesley has lately been given, in tho two opening volumes of Dr. Stevens’ History of Methodism, ono of tho most satisfactory works upon roligious history ever written. Wo have long been determined to uotlco it In full. Meanwhile, thero is a companion work whioh wo would recom mend—a rovised edition of Gillies 1 Memoirs of tho Rev. Georgo Whltefield, with an introduction by ProfessorC. E. Stowo. It hasjust been published by Lonry, Getz, A Co., of this city, and should bo road by thoso who dcalro to know bow Methodism arose, and what its founders and ministers were, ft is printed with bold typo, and has a portrait of Whitcficld. Additional Interest Is conncolcd with this volumo from tho fact that, even moro than Wesley, tho cnrncrit labors of Whitcficld woto in this country. lie died at Nowburyport,on tho last day of September, 1770, oged fifty-six. A short time ngo wo noticed, with the praieo which it fully deserved, tlio first volume, octavo, of “Tho History of Herodolus;” being a now English version, edited with copious notes and np pondiecs, illustrating tho history And geography of 'Herodotus, from tho most recent Bourccs of in formation, nnd embodying tho chief results, his torical nmt ethnographical, which havo been ob tained in tho progroFa of Cuneiform and lliero sbphloal discovery, by Oeorjto Kawlinnon, M.

Appleton A Co., of Now York, who republish tho work here, in a style rivalling, if it docs not sur pass, the English edition, have just brought out volume 11. Tho wholo work will bo completed in four volumes. Engiah critics arc unanimous in pronouncing this Illustrated translation of Hero dotus ono of tho great books of tho age, nml we wholly ngreo with them. Even with in tho last twenty yearn nrcLtoologioal researches havo thrown ft flood of light npou the sub jects whereof Herodotus treated; his*history has had its groat accuracy strongly corroborated by these revelations, anl Ins geography established with no less certainty.

The first topio is treated with marked severity, ns regards the actions nml motives of thoso who would run paiscngor railroad cars on Sunday. Tho reverend editorhoroonuueiates tho following oddly-expressed d'.gma: “ fhiugh-J'acet tn-itj he awful in some ij'fior', but in this day, every Christian must make his forehead hard as flint against tho enemy.” Tho artiolo concludes with a sermon on tho physi cal advantages of tho Sabbath, which, howovor, had already appeared in print, ns has also Judge Thompson’s decision in Jcnndello’s case. The prophetic argument on Tho Present Crisis, in which Napoloon lIT is assimilated with tho Boast in Apocalypse, is ingenious indeed. Tho papers upon Explorations in Africa, Mora\ian Info and Chnrac tci, Modern Psalmody, and tho Influences and Re sponsibilities of Literature, aro nblo and to the purpono.

SIT GRAYBBABD, The immense crowds attracted by Mr. Spur geon’s preaching, on the other side of the Atlantio, no less than the onormous sales of his published sermons (by Messrs. Sheldon A Co.) on this side, have olioitod universal comment, and not a fsw threo theusaod-mile excursions have been made almost on purpeso to hear the man; “and behold a greater than Fpuigcou is hero”—at least so say some who have heard both in their own country. Like Spur geon, Mr. Guinness is ayoung man, notyot twenty five. He arrived heroin the steamer “ City of Bal timore,” an Friday of last week, and tho day after preaohed his first sermon in- America, in Jayne’s Hall.’ He bos prenched either twice or thrice ove ry day rinco then to congregations measured only by the capacity of tho churches in whioh ho spoke. He lias probably had an aggregate auditory of twenty thousand people within the week.' The quostion naturally arises, what Is the secret of this young man’s power? Let us sue. , In the first place, he comes before the people, Ins appearance, tuannor, and utterance, ail bear ing testimony to his Christian armor, aud His skill in wielding the “ sword of tho spirit.” Hii trum pet gives forth no uncertain pound. 110 comes no* in his own name, but In tho capacity of a “he rald,” and by his noble bearing in proclaiming boldly his messoge, the mind of his hearers is at once carried beyond the man to the Power by which be Is accredited. A more hold pnql&iiucr of Gospel truth, In all tha breadth and dopt|» ofiU tpdtrtfrj I bare 'seldom henrtf. Indeed, for ono of hfs years, he evinoes a wonderful acquaintance, not morely with tho loiter of Bcripturo, but with its broad oatholio spirit. With slight exceptions, the“graco of God,” and tho “glory of his Son,” aro at onoe the source and fountain of his preach ing. Though a study in himself, there is nothing of seif in his sermons. He feels his mission to be to tho unconverted, tho back-sliding, and hypo critical professors, and with this view hojdruws from tho treasury of God’s Word without stint, and expounds like a roaster. His provinco is evi dently that of an evangelist, rather than a pastor, or oven a teachor. We oan, perhaps, obtain no better idea of his stylo than by following him briefly through one of his sermons. On Wednesday ovening, ho oocupim! tho pulpit of the First Baptist Church, Broad and Aroh streets, and preaohed from this text: u lie ye reconciled to God ßefore entering the pul pit, there was an ovident interest manifested, by many, to sco the distinguished preacher. Pre ceded by three of his ministerial friends, Revs Cuthbert, Malln, and Alien, he entered, and took his seat upon the loft of the platform. In personal appearance, bo is quite prepossessing; above the medium height; in faot, rather tall; admirably proportioned, and looks tho gentleman all over. On this occasion, he appearod neatly attired in black, wearing a rather extonslve white cravat, a lino of dark whiskers meeting under his chin, having his long block hair combed straight back ovor his head, a la Rev. Mr. Carden, to whose upper fnco tho brow of Mr. Guinness bears some resemblonce. Ilia first appearance reminded me of Georgo Lippard. He has Lippard’a large flash ing eye, his full-developed mouth, his singularly prominent and hirsute brow, his walk, and some of his gestures, and, when he entered upon his dis course, I was still more struck with tho similarity of tho genim of tho two inon. Thore was the satno norvous enthusiosm, tho snmo power of in tense and exaggerated description, and tho same play of conntonanco, keeping pace with, and giv ing expression to opposito emotions, following each othor in quick succession. Tho calling of Mr Guinness, of coarse, hns a tendency to modify, somewhat, these peculiarities in his pulpit efforts ; but tho gonornl cast of his Intellect is certainly not unliko that of tho nnfortunalo novelist. Approaching tho desk, ho opened tho Bible, and in a cloar, full voice, with a very slight foreign accent, said abruptly: “Tho fifth chapter of Urn second cplstlo of Paul to tho Corinthians.” A bncf pnuso ousned, when hocoramcnccd rending a* follows, emphasizing every word as if he was as ab solutely certain of its truth as of his own oxist onco: “ For we know thut , if onr earthly house nf thU Sahtruaclc ivrre ditsolvedy tee httve a building of Gody (i house not made with hands, eternal in the /•ravens,' 1 Pausing hero again for a. moment, ho turned to his Congregation nhd ad ded, in a very impressive manner, “Sooner or later, your religion will bo put to tho test; tm-l do you think that with your last breath or so you can adopt this language? Happy are you if you, can.” This said, he proceeded to read tho ecoond vorse of tho chapter, expounding as ho proceeded/ Some of tho points made in the course of tho running ex position indicated a depth of research, and a con sistency with tho tmo spirit of tho Bible, ns a wholo, evlneod by few ministers of the present day, of twico his years, weighing the full forco of thi* expression. This Introductory commentary alone, which occupied some thirty minutos, would a fiord sufficient material for anartido; but as tho enunci ation of his text has not yet been reached, and an hour-and-a-qunrtor sermon U yet to follow, h few prominent points can only be noticed. “ The earnest of tho Spirit,” spoken of in the fifth verse, was illustrated thus: As in certain countries to Ou tlay contracts were t-caled by one party conveying to tho other earth and water as nn “earnest” of what was subsequently to bo conveyed; so God gnvo to believers in his Son tho “earnest” of their spiritual inheritance hereafter, by placing his own Spirit in tho believer’s heart, tho prosenm of which alono constituted him a son, nnd a joint heir with Christ. Ho deprecated tho idea of men “working out their own salvation,” with tho view of thereby obtaining salvation; rather wore they to work because salvation had already been given them. This view is, of courso, not new, being held, at least in theory, by all Calvin- Utio denominations, but tho manner in which it was presented by tho «peaker was very originnl. lie believes in a hnppy, cheerful, joyous Christi anity. Tho declaration of our Saviour, “ thy wholo body shall be full of light,” was pre.-ented with remarkable force, showing the fortuity of Hr. Guinness’ resources for illustration. Turning toono of tho gas-light globes at his side, he said in sub stanco: “ Let that globe represent a Christian, in whom dwells Iho spirit of Christ, who declared himself to bo ‘tho light of tho world.* Look at and admlro Us cffulgonco. Now go wrap it round and round with folds of ernpo, until it is so com pletely covered with a sable, opnquo garment that its light is clloctually hid from our view. This will represent tho Christian in a certain aspect— a dark gloomy object with no indication* of the light within But now reuiovo those fuldsof crape, until there shall bo nothing between the light nnd tho oye but tho crystal covering, and you havo an illustration of what the man of Qod should be. Ho now reflects tho Spirit which God has given him, nnd thus glorifies the Giver—now “ his wholo body is full of light!” Ho next pictured tho significance of “ a now crea ture in Christ Jesus,” adding, when done, “ I won der how many new cnatures thcro aro in this ton grogation.” Iji prayer, ho is earnest and eloquent, and every intonation bespeaks tho spirit of devotion. You neod not hear his words to distinguish that ho is addressing God, not man. Jlo docs not seem to dictate to tho Being ho is addressing, but. in tho attitudo nf a dependent yet confident suppliant, he presents his petitions in terms always appropriate and reverential. Uaving como to his sorrnon proper, he announced his text, from tho chapter already quoted, “ lie ye icconcited to Gad” which words ho ropcatcd slowly twioo over, nud then struck out in a strain of peculiar descriptive cloqucnoo to show man tho hue position ho occupied while alienated from God. He was not long in establishing his title to raoro than common etninonco as ft pulpit orator. Ho always extemporizes. Tndoed, for ono nlw preaches twice ns many times as thoro aro days in tho week, wri ting sermons would bo out of tho question; yet this may prove detrimental to his progress in the art of correct speaking. Even now his stylo is nt times objectionably florid for tho pulpit; though much of this is tho result of ft youthful ardor, which with caro ogo will correct. Ho has a vigorous per ceptive. intolloot, great powor of language, and an emotional temperament; his descriptions, hence, though always bold and strong, incline to tho gor geous. Tho contrasts between tho lights and shadows of his mcutal pictures aro too striking. In this particular his ttfyle admits of no medium shades. His imagery, though often sublime, i 3 nt times weakened by excessive ornnment. Ho rovols In tho portraituro of tho floating clouds, tho out strotchod landscape, and tho rolling floods. Tho dawn in his hands becomes tho “ rosy light of morn;” and tho rising sun, “tho brilliant nnd burning luminary of day, bursting in a blare of glory upon tho admiring world !” Still, it must not bo supposed that it is in tho powor of words alone that Guinness is great. Ho poßscssesconsiderablooriginality, and an instinctive appreciation of tho groat truths he preaches, which, after all, gives to him his magnotic power ovor his audiences. Ho pronohes with great plainness, but (judging from this single effort) doos not indulge in offensive denunciations, which tho Scriptures do not warrant. Ab ho approaches tho climax of a thought or Illustration you seo tho flro of hts mind running along tho train, till Buddenty it reaches tho magazlno, and, not unlike Henry Ward Beecher, ho oxplodes with a concluding avalanche, and then recedes to gathor up and roll in a new wave of his subject. This “ cxplosivo” stylo, by tho way, un less perfectly natural, is very absurd i but, in tbo TWO CENTS. subject of our present portrait, it is not a “froth and fury signifying nothing,” but a culmination of genuine power. In his gestures and expression of face Mr. Quin* ness is r thorough actor. la this respect he may be said to bo trlpled-tongued. Every thought be utters is not only couched in fitting words, but its spirit is depicted on his countenance, and influ ences every gesture of bis body. He has a voice of great clearness and volume; under complete con trol, being quite as effective In the plaintive sc centn of sorrow, as in the thunder tones which, with & knit brow and flashing-eyo accompaniment, mark his more boisterous flights. When his delivery becomes rapid, which it does as he grows more earnest, he has a habit of placing his tongue to his lips and inhaling bis breath wltji a sound that is distinctly heard all over the house. This he should ondenvor to correct. His sermon on this occasion was an impressive appeal to tho sinner; showing the natural es trangement of-the human hear! from God; that God’s goodness, great and wonderful as it was manifested in his works around us, was insufficient to induce a reconciliation— as an old Irish Bible exprossed it, a “ Second friendship” between man and his Maker. Under these circumstances Re demption had been provided in the shed blood of His only Son. God did not come to the sinner with threats and denunciations, but with the gen tle entreaties, “Bo ye reconciled,” “Believe and thou shalt have life.” But he could not conclude without also showing tho result of nor recoiring Christ by faith. This afforded a fine field f«r the speaker to employ his powers of graphio descrip thing*.tfr-Wue, and so for a moment, leav ing tho gentle invitations of grace, he resorted to the suasion of hell-firo and eternal torments, which the damned wore told, prospectively, would be their lot forever, and that, too, in a place within hearing distance of the angolio harmonies of hea von. Mr. Guinness’ description of hell was cha racteristically glowing; no lee* poetical than those of Dante, Milton, and Pollok, and no donbt quite a* Scriptural. With regard to the past history of the man, it may be stated that ho waa bora In Dublin, Ireland, and entered the ministry four year* ago. He has linco then,. preached with remarkable success in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and up to the lime of his sailing for America, took a prominent part in tho Accent religious movements in thoso countries. In ono respect he appears among us under peculiar auspices. Though invited hero by several ministers of different persuasions, he is in the strictest sense an Independent. Ho claims and admits no affinity with any denomination as such. Ifo never preaches for money, but labors upon tho principle that the servant of the Lord should look to the Lord for his hire, and not «tipa late with societies or individuals to preach so much Gospel for so much psy. The message he proclaims is, tbereforo, given “ without money and without price.” For this reason his preaebiog at home has been mainly in public balls, in market homes, and in the open air. Ho is the son of an officer In tho British army, his mother being the widow of Captain D’Estere, who was killed in a duel by Daniel O’Connell. PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

She is tall, large, and muscular, giving the impression at first sight of a frame capable of great etrength and long endurance. Her fsco is crave and thoughtful, wearing, even in this hour other trial, an expression of soberness rather than of sadness, as if, I.'ke her husband, she had long since learned how t? suffer and becalm.

Or can there be any hopes more forlorn than those entertained by the ad vocates of Congressional protection, when there is three-fourths of Congress opposed to granting such protection? Bach are the attempts of sensation politicians, with their vain and impracticable issues, to dis tract public sentiment, and disturb the peace and harmony of the country. The question of reopen ing the African slave trade is another instance of these extraneous and forced issues, which are only calculate! to dit ert public attention from its legiti mate objects. By admitting that Congress would assume the right, and grant protection to slavery in the Territories, what ultimate benefit could the slave-holder derive from such temporary relief, when perhaps two months after he obtained it, the Territory would apply for admission into the Union, with an anti-ilarery Constitution ? “ There can be nothing more impracticable absurd than the idea of a slave-holder setting a plantation in a Territory, which, in twelve months at most, is to become a free State. Then, as a question of policy, to say nothing of the usurpa tion of such an act, would it be expedient, or sub serving the slave-holder’s interest, for Congrees to grant him a slave code daring his sojourn in the Territory, when the people of the Territory, a few months after, would revoke and set aside sack smut ? No; sooner, we say, let the people of tha Territory know under what institution* they are to live, ana as they are to be the ones ultimately to decide what their institutions are to be, the sooner they exercise that prerogative the better for all parties concerned. “ But the Opposition say they object to Gnu, on the grounds of principle, but the principle and practice will be the same always; always will thoro be a maj >rity from the free States in every Territory of the United States that U opened tor settlement, ot their emigration will always treble that of the sl&vo States; and if the elimatewill not justify slave labor, there will always be a free- Stato Constitution; but if'ibe climate soil ore such a* to invite slave labor, then they wilt havo a slavery Constitution—fbr men’s interests regulate their actions everywhere. “If the population of Alabama could be trans ferred to Massachusetts, and that of Massachusetts to Alabama, we imagine that the institutions of the two States would undergo no change; and that Alabama would continue to be a slave State, and Massachusetts a free State. All the outside and extraneous influences that can ever be brought to bear npon the settlement of these questions, can avail nothing. The people will regulate their own concerns, and in accordance with the dictates of their own interest.” J ekfkrsox Territort.—The Louisville Courier of the 11th instant says: “ AFe had the pleasure yesterday of a visit from Hon. Beverly D. Williams, delegate elect from the Territory of Jefferson. Mr. AviXliams made the trip from Denver City to Leavenworth, a distance of 655 miles, in seven days and nine hours. He visited the Territory in May last, taking with him forty wagons, four hundred mules, and one hun dred and sixty-men and and laid out the first road for the express company. The present population of the Territory is about fire thousand; many of the miners baring returned to the State#, with the intention of going back in the spring with their families. About fifteen hundred, amply sup plied with provisions, will winter at the tnw»ff “ No doubt whatever exists of the great richness of the mines, which yield from two to fifteen dol lars per day. Russell and Nevada gntebet are tha richest yet discovered. Mr. Williams die wed us several specimens of scale gold and nuggets. “ Mr. Williams is a native of Boyle county, Ken tucky, a gentleman of fioe capacity, and win make on able and efficient delegate. It is understood that tho election will be contested by Dr. Will ing, but we presume with but very little prospect of success. •* A provisional Government has been formed, and a Governor and Legislature hare been elected. Tho Legislature met on Monday, the 7th ins!. “ We havo received from Mr. Williams a copy of the Rocky Mountain jV>w.». published at Anraria and Denver City, dated November 3d. “ Tho inhabitants of tho mines will petition Con gress at it* next session for tho organisation of a Territorial Government, to be called the Territory of JeffersoQ. Wo haTC no doubt the Territory will be promptly organized, and if so. daring the next spring there will doubtless be a large emigration to the mines from tho States. ” Another Homicide. [From the Smyrna (Del.) Times, J7tb inrt-1 We aro again called upon to chronicle another serious affair, resulting in death—the killing of a man named James U. Wilson, by a man named James Brown—which occurred on Saturday last, at tho farm-house of Benj. F. Hurloek, near Green’s mill, in Little Creek Hundred. The facta of the ease, related to ns by Sewell Green, £»., are briefly as follows : A man named William Dennis had a daughter, between whom and Brown there existed an at tachment, to which the father objected. The girl, on account of tho objections at home, left her father's house and took up her residence with the family of Manlovo Jones. On Saturday, the de ceased, with his wife, on returning from Kenton, stopped at Dennis's and took dinner, when the latter engnged him to aasist in taking his daughter home whither, however, she promised to go peaceably. While she was preparing her clothes for the return, Wilson started towards his home, DcnnN the carriage; when about a hundred yards from the place where the daughter was, they saw Brown, (wno was charged, though wrongfully, with baring persuaded the girl to leave her home), in the barnyard of Mr. Hurloek, in whoso employ he was. Dennis uttered an angry exclamation, at the same time banding Wilson a stick cut for the occasion. The latter immediately proceeded towards Brown, as also did Dennis. Wilson struek Brown with the stick, and Dennis struck him with a stone, when, as Wilson was in he act of repeating bis blow, Brown caught up a bean-pole and struck him on the neck, felling him to tho ground, and producing instant death, he (Wil.-on) not being seen to move after the fall. Mr. Green and others were soon on the spot, and labored for sometime to restore him to life, but from too beginning there were no signs of return ing life. There was no appearance of his neck being dislocated, as was supposed, nor was the slightest wound produced by the blow, which is said to have been a light one. A coroner's inquest was held on Sunday, and'a verdict rendered that “Mr. Wilson came to his death on Saturday, the 12th inst.,by a stroke from a stick or pole in the hands of James Brown, in self-defence.” Brown and Dennis hare since been held to bail, each in the sum of $5OO, for their ap pearance at the next term of court. Wilson and Brown, we learn, were strangers to each other, and the former being of a pugnacious disposition, and under the influence of liquor, must have acted en tirely at the instigation of Dennis, who was also inebriated at the time. It is a very unfortunate affair, though Brown acted clearly in self-defence, and is said to be uni formly a peaceable and quiet man. KrcEmox of Rev. 11.
