WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 14, 1861. t’p firm. Thais ia scarcely any thing doing by the pub lishing trade in the United States. This week we have to report from Ticknor Sc Fields a volume containing the second series of “ The Recreations of a Country Parson,” who is now known to be the Rev. Mr. Boyd, an Episcopal clergyman in Scotland. He has been writing Essays in Fraser’s Magazine for the last three or f ur years, and his latest production is as fresh as his first. It is difficult for a fHll mind to write itself out. Mr. Boyd has extensive scholarship, accurate as well as far-seeing oh serration, and a style which is just a little more elevated than high-bred conversation. A quiet humor runs, in an under-current, through all he writes, and he has evidently seen the world as well as read books. His new volume is on sale at J. B. Lippincott’s. The new volume of Irving, National edition, (published by Putnam, and tor sale by S. Ha sard, Jr., in this city,) contains the concluding portion of « Mahomet and his Successors” — it actually takes up the record from the death ot Mahomet, in 622 to the invasion el Spain In 710, dnring which period the Moslem faith spread largely over Asia and Africa, and tri umphed wherever it went. The volume Is a valuable contribution to the History of Reli gion. Mr. Putnam has also republished from the original, in pamphlet form, a letter from Henry Lawrens, second President of the Continental Congress, to his son, Colonel John Lawrens; dated Charleston, S. 0., August 14,1776. It is taken from the Collecton of the Zenger Club, and was the initial number, privately printed, of their historical Series. The object of its present publication is to rebut the Southern theory, “ that the same antagonism that now prevails between the North on the subject of Slavery, existed at the time of the American Revolution,” and that, to use Mr. Everett’s words, “It is the South which has changed, and not the North.” The new number of the Edinburgh Review, which commences a volume, has been received from Mr. Zieber, South Third street. The best articles, where all are very readable, are those upon Buckle’s Civilization in Spain and Scotland, in which the author is nearly de molished; the Literary Remains of Albert Durer; Carthage; Richard Porson, the Greek scholar j the Countess of Albany, the last Stnarts, and Alfieri, and Da Chailla’s Gorilla book. This last, in a very captious spirit, blows hot and cold upon the book, alternately praising Du Chaillu and carping at what it sets j forth as discrepancy in his dates. We lately noticed this book of Da Cbailla’s j very tally. It has been published, with nu merous striking illustrations, by Messrs. Har per, of New York, (together with Dr. Davta’s Carthage,) and a more thoroughly Interesting book of travels and personal adventure we have rarely met.

Literature, Science, and Art. The tradition is that Joe Miller, comedian, was a grave man, who never jested or smiled, off the stage, and that the tnn was to heighten the effect of puns and jokes by attributing them to one who never made even an original play upon words ! The redaction of the duty on paper promises to give a great impetus to cheap literature in England. Three halfpenny (cent) magazines have just been started in London, each with wood cuts, and 8 pages, halt the siza of the London Journal. Among the young Irish poets, Aubrey de y e re, brother of an Irish baronet, is considera bly distinguished. His principal poem is « The WaMeuaos.” Wo perceive, by a re. view in an English paper, that he has just published another volume, entitled " The Sis ters, Inistail, and other Poems.” Here is a picture of Irish famine, drawn with wonderful fidelity: Sudden fell Famine, the Terror never absent long,- TJpon onr land. It shrank—the daily dole; Tne oa'me&l trickled from a tighter grasp; Hanger grew wild through panto; infant eries Madden’d at times the gentle into wrong: Death’s gentleness more oft for death made way; And like a lamb that openeth not iti month, The iacrifioial People, fillet-bound, Stood np to die.

And here, to contrast the poetry of the East with that of the West, is an almost literal translation, by Win. 0. Wells, of a Turkish poem which occurs in a Turkish romance: And, Io! a maiden of heavenly face. From head to foot fall of graoe; Tall ot stature, light was she. Like unto the oypress tree.

Bo sweeps o’er the walls of phllosophis, The bulwark ot sense must down needs be, For in are rushing the waves of lore’s sea. There has lately been published at Prague, in Bohemia, the Autobiography of Dr. J. F. Oastelli, who has lived all his life at Vienna, and has been writing for the stage ail bis life. This’memoir conies down to the year 1881. We learn of him that the number of his dramatic works amounts to a hundred and ninety .nine; tor some years he was the poet of the Kamther-Thor Theatre ; he knew all the singers and some of the composers of the Austrian capital; he remembers a character who figured importantly in the life of Mozart, and the first performance of (be ‘‘Zauber fiote.” He knew Sonntag, and .Weigl, the composer of a popular German opera, « The Swiss Family,” of' which he wrote the libretto; Zacharias "Werner, the dramatist; and Theodor Earner, the patriotic poet. He collected more than 200 songs, 1,800 snuff-boxes, a mass of books of plays, por- traits of actresses, autographs of actresses, and all the play.bills ot Vienna since the year 1600. On one occasion, he was re fused permission to print a song of bis own, which another wag allowed to pirate. At the time of the French invasion ol Austria, a pa triotic song was the cause ot Dr. Oastelll’a proscription. He applied to the Emperor of Austria for help, but the Emperor, on hearing that he had written a war-song, asked who had told him to do so. Dr. Oaatelll mentions that the production of Schiller’s ‘ Don Carles’ was loDg forbidden, because Don Carlos loved his stepmother; in ‘ The Robbers,’ thi ; Father was turned into an uncle, and a stupendous effect was produced by the cry of “ Uncle- cide,” substituted for Parricide, A oomposer wrote a sonata to the manes of Hummel, but there was a law of the censorship that no De- dication might be printed without the-permis sion of the person to whom it was offered. Accordingly the Censor asked the composer to produce the permission of the manes ot Hummel. Sir Benjamin Brodle, the eminent surgeon, having been compelled, by ill health, to resign the Presidency of the Royal Society of Eng land, two persons are named as likely to di- vide the votes of the members. One is Lord Brougham, the other Major General Sabine. Brongham, now almost eighty-three years old, (he was born in Edinburgh, on the 19th Sep- temper, 1778,) wrote an Essay on the Inflec tion and Reflection of Light, when he was only, seventeen, which he forwarded to the Royal Society. It was published in their transactions in 1796, with a continuation in 1797, and a paper on Porisms in 1798. Gene ral Sabine is now seventy-one yeara old, ha- ving been bom in 1790. His Essays on the Pen- dulum, published in 1825, gave him a high re putation as a man of science. Although an artil lery officer, he took part in the Arctio voyages of 1819 and 1820, under Parry and Ross, and his magnetic observations daring that voyage gave the first great impulse to the systematic study of the phenomena of terrestrial magnet- ism. From 1827 to 1830, he was Secretary of the Royal Society. He has been 23 years a member of the British Association for the Ad- vancement of Science, 21 years one of its Se cretaries, and 8 years its General Secretary, filling the office ef President in 1853. He has been Treasurer of the Royal Society since 1850, and Vice President. He is author of thirty-tour memoirs, published in the “ Philo- sophical Transactions.” No donbt Lord Brougham stands high as a statesman, legisla- tor, judge, man of letters, and man of science, bnt at his advanced age, he cannot devote the time and labor to the Presidency of the Royal Society—the highest office, though unpaid, Science can bestow upon any of her sons in England. It is probable that General Sabine, who has latterly been locum tenens for Sir j Benjamin Brodie, will be, elected. Among the Presidents of the Royal Society, founded in 1660, may be named Sir Christo pher Wren, 1680 ; Samudi Pepys, the Diarist, 1684; Lord Somers, one of Macaulay’s heroes, ’1698; Sir Isaac Newton, 1703; Sir Hans Sloane, 1727; Sir Joseph Banks, 1778; Dr, W. H. Wollaston, 1820; Sir Humphrey Davy, 1820; Davies Gilbert, 1827; Duke of Shssex, 1830; Marquis of Northampton, 1838; Earl of Roßse, of the great telescope, 1848; Lord Wrottlesley, 1864; and now Sir Benjamin Brodie. The following anecdote, which we take from j The Critic, is remarkably curious—if true. It I purports to nave been sent by a correspondent; I « Mr. Sims Reeves was announced to appear at the concert in Scarborough, on Friday, but in consequence of a relaxed throat he was nnable to appear. Mrs. Howard Paul, who happened to be In the town on a visit, was in duced by the local entrepreneur to impersonate the eminent tenor, wMchshe did with so much skill, singing Ms songs with such exactitude of voice and expression, that, conpled with her extraordinary ’ make up,’ many of the audience were not aware of the substitution. This was said to be one of the best musical « sells’ that ever occurred in Scarborough, where, by-the by, Mr. Reeves has never yet sung.” As many of onr readers know, there is a mania, among some people, for collecting violins by eminent makers. At a recent sale of musical Instruments, in London, among the prices realized were £Bl for a Stradivarius, £4B for another violin by the same maker, £B4 for an Amati violin (formerly the pro perty of Sir W Curtis). The violoncelli fetched lower prices; an instrument attri buted to Joseph Guamerius brought £5O; another, by Stradivarius, was secured by Signor Piatti for £4O. It has been discovered, by comparison of various paintings, that many portraits called Mary Stuart (Queen of Scots) do, in reality, represent Mary of Gnise, her mother. Such is the casewith the portrait of Mary, in white mourning dress, at Hampton Court, which belonged to King Charles the First, and is mentioned in the catalogue of Ms pictures. A valuable, but much ruined, por trait of Mary Stuart has been found in the col lection ot Col. Mejrick. It is painted m oil, nearly lilo-size, and corresponds exactly with the small miniature in the collection of Queen Victoria, which represents her, at an. early period of life, placing a ring on one of her fingers. There has just been added to the National Portrait Gallery of England a very spirited terra-cotta bust of Oliver Cromwell. It bears the impress of being a study direct from na ture, and evidently served as the original mo del for the marble bust which Mr. Labonchere, now Lord Tannton, contributed to the Man chester Exhibition. The marble bears the nairifl of Edward Pierce, a leading sculptor of the Seventeenth century, who executed public statues for the city of London, and. whose busts of Sir Christopher Wren and Sir Isaac Newton, at Oxford, rival the most successful efforts of Roubiliac at a subsequent period. This portrait of Cromwell corresponds with the known miniatures by Cooper, with Lely’s portrait at Florence, Lord Spencer’s Walker, and the fine drawing, life size, at Sidney Sus sex College, Cambridge. But it seems to have been done at an earlier period than any of tbem. In the terra-cotta bust there is a comparative profusion of hair on the head, and even the second wart on his face is lost in the fullness of the moustache. In all the paintings above mentioned the hair is very thin, and an isolated lock is observable in the centre on the forehead. The fall hair and starting eyes give a peculiarly lion-like cha racter te the countenance. There is a posthumous oast of Cromwell, taken a few honTS after bis death, which WaB exhibited at Edinburgb in 18S0, where we saw it. The mould actually contains three or four stiff gray hairs, from the grisly and shaggy eyebrows, which adhered whon the plaster of Pariß was taken off. We do not recollect the name of the owner of this cnrions and valua ble cast, which, by the way, was only a mask of the anterior portion of the head. The tea tores were strong, marked, and massive. Thohas J. Armstroko —King & Baird have published a pamphlet containing a report of the trial of Thomas J. Armstrong, the murderer, with an account of his execution and bis pretended “ Confession,” in which ho aggravated his crime by attempting to throw Ita commission upon two innocent persons. He who was prayed for, as ” this dear young man,” went ont of life with a lie upon his Ups. Those whs are ontions in sueh mat ters will avail themselves of this opportunity of ob taining a full and authentlo record of Armstrong’s file and death. From Atlantic City- UmTED StATSB HOTBI, Atlantic Citt, August 12,1861. However watering places in general may this season be languishing for lack of custom, Atlantic City is literally alive with visitors, some from Washington, afewfrom New York, a goodly number from Western and Central Pennsylvania, bnt the mass are Phila delphians. Last Saturday carried the sea son to the noonday of its prosperity, and on that evening I presume, after the arrival of the last train, there remained few unengaged sleeping apartments on the Island, the princi pal hotels being filled even to tbe full extent of their ground floor parlors. The day was one among a thousand for the trip. The heavy rain of Friday night completely neutra lized the dust, and the locomotive of onr train maintained an exemplary freedom from cinders, which, with a veiled sun and fine breeze, made our journey hitherward unusu ally pleasant,. This hotel on Saturday evening presented a gay and joyons Scene. At the nsnal hour for opening the “ hop” (a phrase made execrable by its association with the pedal movements of a toad), gentlemen with their wives and daughters formed a very pictu resque and animated border around the spa cions dining saloon, leaving an open area in the centre for dancing. Several distinguished persons were present, among whom I observed Sehor Lisboa, the Brazilian Minister, with Ms interesting family. His Excellency Go vernor Curtin, with his family, is also sojourn ing here, entering into the enjoyments of the place with a genuine republican simplicity. By the way, I suspect that this hotel has carried off the palm, tMs season, In the way of attracting celebrities. In glancing over the register I find, among others now here, the I names of judges, statesmen, army and naval officers, men professionally noted, and emi nent civilians. Among the first named are Judges Thompson, Cadwalader, Hampton, Hepburn, Knox, and Casey, all of Pennsylva nia, moßt of them with their families. Among the war officials I may mention the names ol Major Zeilin, of the United Btates Marine Corps, who was in the battle ot Bull Rnn, and still carries his left arm in a sling from a Minie ball wound there received; Major Lamed, paymaster in the U. S. army -, Col. Frank Patterßon; Col. Wm. Lewis; Col. P. C. Ell maker and family; Col. Morehead and fami ly ; Captain Robert, and the family of Capt. David McKibbin, recently returned from Washington Territory ; Hons. Henry D. Fos ter, A. K. McClure, and Alfred Gillmore of I this State, are also here; so are Sheriff Kern and family; St. George Tucker Campbell; Hon. Charles Ingersoll; Dr. McClellan, bro- I ther of the General; the Wisters of Ger- I mantown, one ot the most prominent fami- I lies in Pennsylvania; John Brodhead, prest- I dent of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, I and wife; and Mr. McTavish and wile; the I latter, as I stated in a former letter, is a dangh- I ter of General Scott. She is a most eatima- I ble lady, and is reputed to be the best bather, I of her sex, on the island, and is a bold, inde- I pendent, vigorous swimmer. I M. Mercier, the French minister, is expect- I ed to arrive to-morrow, and the English and I Spanish ministers have engaged rooms for I themselves and families, and will be bere I abont the 15th of the month. Of course, Mr. I McKibbin and Ms active office assistants, I Messrs. Shaw and Robinson, are sparing no I paras in making everybody feel at home; and I In thiß respect it is but just to add that the I hotel proprietors here generally are doing all I in their power to rival each other in attending I to the comfort of visitors. Religious services were held yesterday, and largely attended, in all the churches; in addi tion to which there was preaching at 10$ A. M. in our hotel by Eev. Dr. Wilmer, rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Locust street, above Sixteenth. At the appointed hour the large ladies’ parlor, in which the services were held, assumed quite a chapeMike appearance. The room and the adjoining hall were closely filled with a congregation intelligent and atten tive, and, judging trom the very general re sponses during the service, one largely com posed, if not of those in communion with the Episcopal Church, at least oi persons familiar with its beautiiul and impressive ritual. The music, for an im pro vised choir, was remarkably good, as it could not well help being, with Mr. Eedner, the accomplished organist of St. Andrew’s Church, presiding at the piano, as sisted, as he was, by such excellent vocalists as Messrs. Coffin and Wells, of yonr city. The subject selected by Dr. Wilmer was, << Wisdom is justified oi her children.” Al though accustomed to reading his sermens in- j variably In the pnlpit, his discourse yesterday morning was entirely extempore, it not im promptu, and the quiet, appropriate, conver sational style in which it was delivered pleased everybody. Nor was the subject-matter un worthy the reputation of its author. I have made a brief abstract of it for publication. The sky this morning is leaden and lower ing ; still, there are indications in the mercury that when the clouds break away the weather Will be warm. There are many merchants here, who, from the inactivity of trade at home, I find are disposed to protract their | sommer absence from it. These men have | been braviDg a fearful financial storm for | months, and have not yet successfully outrode it. Some, perhaps, never will. Notwith standing this, to their credit be it spoken, their visages are not elongated by the sacri fices which have been forced upon them by Southen rebels; on- the contrary, several of them have remarked to me that the mainte nance 0/ the Government is their chief concern, and that their means, “to the bottom dollar,” are at the service of their country. I believe thiß to be the general sentiment of the mer. chants of Philadelphia, and it is at once a flat denial of the Southern slander, that “ North ern merchants are mere mercenaries,” and a noble vindication of their patriotism. All honor to these men who are supplying the sinews of war in the lace of bankruptcy and financial ruin! Gratbeard. Startling News from Southern Kansas* SBCBSBIOMIBTS AMD IMDIAHS COMKITTIMS DRPBB DAtIOHS—BBTTLBBS DBIYBH OPf IHB CBEBOKBB MBDTBAL LAMBS—tUTBBB BBTTLBBS KILLED - [From ths Leavenworth (Kansas) Conservative ] Mr. Avery X. Bpenoer arrived here laßt evening, from Allen oounty, this State. He left Allen oounty on Tuesday, for the purpose ef procuring assistance for the settlers on the neutral Indian lands, in Southern Kansas, who are being driven out and murdered by a band of some five hundred Stoessioßists and Cherokoes, under the oomm&nd of one John Matthews, formerly a trader among the Osage Indians. Mr. Spenoer informs us that this Matthews has driven the settlers off the Central Lands, and fdso off a strip of Government land, three miles wide, below the Neutral Lauda, hanging and shooting seme sixteen of them, besides taking everything from them that he possibly oould- Sixty families of the settlers have taken refuge in Humboldt, Allen oounty, and Leroy, Coffey oounty. Mat thews also took twenty prisoners at one time, but through the influence of Gapt. Miller, of the Che rokee Nation, they were set at liberty. He made tie threat to the prisoners that he would bum Humboldt and Osage Mission in loss than a week. The band also took some forty horses from the set. tiers om Lightning eraek. The band is well armed with rifles and revolvers, and their only object appears to be plunder. Matthews Is a bankrupt trader. Some time sinoe he borrowed money from an old man, named Sage, then living on the Neutial Lands, and to pay Sage for his money, robbed him of thirty head ef horses, and drove him off. Matthews’ first lieutenant is a man by the name of Samuel Patton, who murdered a man in Ar kansas last fall, and made his esoape. A reward of five hundred dollars was offered for bis attest, and bo was oaught. Subsequently he broke jail, and oame to Kansas, and ia now first lieutenant of Matthews’ gang oi out throats and thieves. Matthews endeavored to get the Osage Indians to join his band, but through the iufinenoe of Father Suoemaker, a Gatholio priest, stationed at the Mission, the Osages refused to have anything to do with him. Mr. Spenoer oalled on Governor Robinson, to ascertain if ha oonld not do something to pro toot tho settlers Horn Matthews and his gang. The Governor sent him over to Captain Frinoe, as he had not the power or authority to send troops to thoir assistance. The people along the border of the Neutral Lands feel very mueh alarmed, and fear an attaok from this roving band of desperadoes. If they had arms to defend themselves they would feel more seeure. The State has neither arms nor ammunition to sup ply them with. Gov. Robinson has repsatedly urged upon the War Department the neasßsity of furnishing our people with arms; yet no favorable answer has ever been reoeived. We trust the Go vernmont will soon begin to understand our ex posed situation, and either give us the means for self-proteotion, or allow the Kansas regiments now in Missouri to be stationed on the irontier, for home defenoo. Thu Board of Engineers, which has been in session in the chief engineer’s rooms at the Brook lyn navy yard, adjourned on Saturday sine die, and sent on to the Navy Department a list of the §en, lemon who were examined and passed by it. 'or over eight weeks the board continued Bitting, and during that time its labors have almoßt revo lutionised the oorps of engineers, as regards num bers and rank, la 1860 there were 174 engineers in the navy, of whom 23 were chiefs, 43 were first assistants, 29 ware second assistants, and 92 were third assistants. We should not wonder if there were double this number in Govornmeut pay now. The names of tho greater portion of the gentlemen passed in Brooklyn rocontly have already been printed.
