(the last of the month,) but upon the 23d ttl

the quantity of letter-press and four times .th
probable number of engravings, at the sans;
price. It is said that 60,000 copies of the firs,
number have been printed. It will open wit
a serial tale by Mr. TusczErtax, illustrated bt
himself, and the first of a series of essays fro*
the same pen, to be called ,tf The Roundabo4
Papers." Two other serials will be commenced*
and Sir Joua BURGOYNE supplies an article o'
Rifle Clubs, an essay upon Animal Life belpt

to contributors will be unusually high, (doubli
the rate paid to Blaciewood's writers,) but ,tl#
copyright, contrary to the general 'custom
periodicals, will wholly pass from the andel

A rival to this publication, bearing the title
of Macmillan's Magazine, the first number
of which appeared in December, will publish

From W. B. Ziobor wo have received the new
number of thv North Amencan Itertcw, Just pub•
Robed by Crosby, Nichols, 1 Co., Boston. Thl d
is oho boat number wo have seen for a long time,
anti, indeed, this periodical has latterly shown
considerable aocesilon of ability and spirit. Out of
eleven articles, half a dozen are of great merit.
The best, beyond all comparison, to that upon the
China Question, tracing the Into war down to its
present status. This, testified on all points from
rieloial data, is by far the most complete history of
the case yet published, here or In England.
Another excellent paper is that upon George Can
ning, the British statesman, tracing his whole ea
reor. It is slightly in error when it soya that, on
her return to England In ISM,: Caroline of Bruns
wiok "took up bor abode with Alderman Wood
in the City." She went to his house in South
Audley stueot, which is in the west or fashionable
part of Westminster, and at least two miles distant
from the city of London, a trading place wherein
very few persons of means reside. We have to no-
tiro, also, a satisfactory article on Wesleyan
Methodism, hated upon the admirable biography
of John Wesley, contained in two volumes of
the Bev. Dr. Abel Stevens's "History of the
Religious Movement of the Eighteenth Cents

C.rlton ik Porter, Now tors—the fatreet rmoount

rise and progress of Methodism. Papers upon the
Assyrian Empire, the Indian Tribes, the Commerce

Farewell Address, George Withers, the poet, the
Literature of the Italian War, (a notice of French
hooks on that subject,) and Mr. Starr King's now
" White Hills," snake up tho remainder of the eon
tents. The first twenty papa are occupied with
a review of the whole of Tonayson's poetry—surely
a dilatory notice.
We may state, en peasant, being reminded of it
by the üboro mention of the book, that we made a

CHILDREN'S BOORS.
The great peoullarity of Children's Books of the
present day is that, for the most pArt, they are as
readable by adults as by young folks. They are
not written down to the juvenile comprehension,
according to the fashion of other times, but aro
written intelligibly. Moreover, they instruct as
Welt as entertain, and their illustrations are well
designed and well engraved. Desiring to clear our
table of the remaining Children's Books, after the
great Christmas overflow, we shall briefly notion
them here, as we have read them through, and our
opinion may assist parerfts and others who desire to
buy.

Mr. Taylor, the chairman of the Committee rip
minted to remodel the Mouse committees, report
el the following : that the Ways and Moans be
'termed from nine to fifteen; the ,ludielary is
dvided into two, a local and general ocinmittee,
°instating of nine each ; Pensions and Gratuities, of
Baron; Claims, of nine, Agriculture and Menefee
teres, of coven; Education, of fifteen; Accounts,
ofeeven ; Vico and immorality, of seven; Militia
6:litem, of Bevan; Election Distticts, of seven;
Banks, of thirteen; Estates and Etteheats, of seven;
Endo, Bridges, and Canals, of nine; Corporations,
of fifteen ; Counties and County Seats, of eleven ;
Cempare Bills, of fire; Library, of five; Railroads,
of thirteen; Oily Passenger Railroads, of eleven ;
Printing, of three; Public Buildings, of three;
Mines and Minerals, of thirteen. One or two of
the old committees are abolished, and all the root
are changed morb or less.
Mr. Lawrence, of Washington, thought some of
the eammittoee were too cumbersome; and the re•
au't would bo that members would be compelled to
Sc; on at least three important committees, which
was more than any one man was capable of at
leading to; but Mr. Taylor explained that they
had made a careful calculation, and discovered that
no gentleman would be required to servo on more
then two committees. This explanation satisfied
the member from Washington in that respect.
Ur. O'Neill was In favor of striking out the Com
mittee on City Passenger Railways, and referring
that subject to the oily members. no thought that
the Legislature had been pestered with passenger
railway schemes ouftleiently last winter, and he
wail sure that Philadelphia did not want any more

but Mr. Strong differed with them both. Re
thought passenger railways were a step in advance,
and were highly popular with the people of Phila
delphia. hi r. Duffield took the other side, and the
country members generally were opposed to ma
king it a special committee composed of the mem.
bars from the city. Mr. Ridgway thought that
there would not be the rush thie winter for railway
charters that there was last, tionerally they have
proved to be poor speculations. More than half
the companies are not paying running expenses.
Of the other half, some are paying well, and others
not BO well, but none will be likely to ask for any
more legislation. Those who got burned are dis
posed to keep their fingers out of the lire, and
there who are making_ money are disposed to let
well enough alone. No Ration was taken to-day.
It will probably be passed tomorrow, and rite
Speaker will announce the committees on Monday.
City passenger railways are an institution"
enticed eitedusively to Philadelphia and Pitts
burg; and, it mine to me, that the members from
those two pities are the proper 'persons .to 001;011030
that committee. What can the member from Jef
ferson, or Ting* or Potter, know of the necessities
of Philadelphia in regard to railways? Whit doer
he know of public sentiment there, except as It
comes through that corrupt channel, the lobby?
Absolutely nothing. I have always maintained I
that the subject of passenger railways should be
referred to the Counoila of your city, and that a
general law should be pllitSid on the subject; but
as this has not been done, the next best thing Is to .
refer the matter to a committee composed of meta-
bers front Philadelphia and Pittsburg. As the
passenger-railway bubble has pretty much ex
plated, it is hoped that gentlemen from the coun
try will not invest largely, in that kind of security,
and that the diogracoftil tioishea of last winter will

Mr. 0081 was happy to bear the explanation. Ile
did not products the resolutions with the view of
saying anything to the Massaehusetts delegation,
but to ascertain whether they were genuine.
Mr. Extol' said, the editor of the Barnstable
paper was a Union•loving, strong constitutional
Democrat, representing a high otilco in Barnstable.
Mr. Cons did not care what aloe the editor held.
HO was a representative of the true doctrine. lie
hoped the sentiments deotared would enable all
sides to profit by them. Ile wanted his constitu

In the North and Massaehusetts men who are
animated by the spirit of their Revolutionary fa
thers.
Mr. Davie, of Mississippi, occupied some time to
show why the Southern Opposition should co
operate with the in the election of a
Speaker, against their common enemy, the Repub
licans. The anti-Lecompton men had said that
when it could be shown that their votes would settle
the question, they would act effieiently. Ile pro
posed that the Southern Opposition and anti-Le.
oomptonites help the Democrats to elect a Speaker.
Let the Americans take the two next best °Mears,
and the anti-Lecomptonites the remainder, and di
vide the patronage among them. So far es ho was
concerned, he was willing that this should be done
for the sake of organization, and scouring a na
tional Speaker.
Mr. STOKES, of Tennessee, spoke of the Repub
licans as a sectional party. He bad his doubts as
to the nationality of the Democracy, and was pre
pared to sustain this opinion, and quoted the
Washington States anti Charleston Mercury (De
mocratic papers) in proof.
Mr. MiLcs said this was most extraordinary.
The Mercury was not In full fellowship with the
National Democracy, though it expressed his sen
timent&
Mr. STOKES replied that the Detneeraoy is split
and torn into fragments. The Southern Opposi
don could not come to the aid of the Democrats,
who were split into (notions. They found them
selvea standing between the North and South an a
national conservative party. They want a Union
party, and stand here to-day as Union men. There
was a sentiment of seoesston in the Southern
States. lie had heard wore of such doctrines
since he came here than over before, and these
came from the Democratic side. With reference
to the organization of the House, he denied that
there wan any epproaoh at aßiliation between
the Southern Oppositionists and the Republicans.
He would not, under any circumstances, vote for
the Republican candidate, (Mr. Sherman;) but ho
called upon the Democrats to vote for Mr. Wieser,
and dotnande why that party had not concen
trated their vote upon that gentleman before. The
Southern Oppositionists and the Republicans would
never affiliate upon the slavery question, although,
upon other important questions, they might agree
—such as on the tariff, and in a mutual conviction
of the corruption and incompetency of the present
Administration. lie was opposed to the disunion
sentiments which had been uttered by Southern
gentlemen, in certain contingencies; and he, as a
southerner, would not look upon the eleotion of a
Black Republican to the Prealdeney as a canoe of
disunion.
Mr. Kral., of Arkansas. Woohl you vote for
Fred. Douglass as President?
Mr. STOKEi. Thequestion is Irrelevant inasmuch
as the Supreme Court has rated that a man of oolor
could not be President.
Mr. liver. But the gentlemen knows that one
of the first things proposed by the Black Republi
cans, if they get into power, is to reform the Su
promo Court and to remove this disability
Mr. Swims did not know that. Be was a Union
men, and was anxious for the organisation of the
Rouse by the election of a Union and national man
an bpoaker, so that the business of the country
might he proceeded with, and Immedistorelier ex
tended to the creditors of the tiovernment.
Memo. Ham, of South Carolina, WRIOUT, of
Teneaziep. ItC9T, anti several others gave as their
reason for not voting for Mr. Gilmer that ho was
eu adbya dozeno:mor
of his own
party, but if called upon to choose between a sound,
conservative Democrat and a Republican, he would
prefer the Democrat.
Mr. Wlastow, of North Carolina, moved that
the house proceed to the election of a Speaker,
and demanded the previous question.
Mr. Hicamatt, of Pennsylvania, hoped the de
mend would bo voted down, as ho wished to offer
en amendment providing for the adoption of the
plurality rule. lie wanted to know how long this
spectacle was to be presented to tho country.
Mr GARNETT, of Virginia, replied that, if ho
knew the sentiment of the Democratic side, they
would remain there till the 4th of March, 1801,
betoro they would consent to the plurality rule.
They would hold the Republioans up to the indig
nant gaze of the country for attempting to place in
the chair on endorser of the Helper book.
After calls from diffetent sides, the roll of the
House was called over.
Mr Ilicamax wits anxious to show to the noun.
try who were the dhorganizera.
Mr. GARNETT charged the Repnblloana and
South Ainerioans no disorganizors---epne party in
opposing the Democratic, candidate as Speaker,
and the other in putting forward as a candidate a
man who had endorsed the Helper book.
Mn. litcalwr was ready for the issue. Let the
responsibility rest on the head of those who took to
prevent an organization.
Mn. CLARK, of Missouri, said he should insist
flrstion a vote on ble resolution, declaring an en
dorser of the Helper book twilit for Speaker.
Mr. STV{TON said the Republiee.na had no objec
tion to voting on all the pending propositions in
Walt order.
'Mr. Et - mynas, of Pennsylvania, contended that
nothing was in order but a motion to proceed to an
Wootton or to adjourn.
Mr. WINSLOW said the plarailtynde mid net
be adopted for a very long time—in his opinion
never.
- Mr. 'flyaway said, he would not abate one jot
or tittle front his position.
Mr. Bisonsu, of Ohio, asked, If the Republi-
Cone will consent to vote for Mr. Clark's resolu
tion, would Mr. Clark afterward consent to a
vote being taken on the plurality rule?
Mr. CLanic would make no mob arrangement.
With casual crow-firing , the yeas and nays were
ealled on Mr. Winslow 's motion. Will the
main question (a ballot for Speaker,) be put ?"
For the main question, 108.
Against the main question, 100.
This showed the position of the Mouse on the
plurality rule • those voting for the main question
being against It. On this question, Mr. Adrain
was the only outsider who voted with the Republi-
Cane.
Before a ballot tru proceeded with, Mr. DAVIS,
of Indiena said the time had arrived when there
ought to be an organisation. The country bad
become weary of this protracted struggle. No
party in apposition to the Belosbiloarui could elect
its particular favorite. He nondidaed Hon. A. J.

years , will testify that they were never legally
married, in the hope that such testimony wLt ro

a mistake—the law accepts his own colon:EEL:a of
marriage, which aillbe abundantly proven, and the
firmer their long-continued recogniticn of each other
as man and wife, as sufficient evidence that coca
was the fart. There does not seem to be a loop
