Between thirty and forty years ago, William Bone served the reading public and ruined himself by writing and publishing " The Every Bey Book " and "The Table Book." These were popular im provements upon John Bra•ty's Clovis Calen darin," an ingenious work, rather heavy in its execution, Improving upon Ilona and Brady, and covering a wider ground, en all to blend amusement and instruction, Messrs. Chambers of Edinburgh and London, have commenced a publication, in monthly porta, en so to make two or three handsome volumes, the size of their excellent Encyclopedia now in progress. It will be reproduced, on this side of the water, on good-sized paper, printed from duplicate stereotype plates, and at the English price, by J. B. Lippincott & Co., of this city—a firm completely identified, in this country, as 00- publitherc of their make, with William and Robert Chambers. The new work is entitled II The Book of Days ; a Miscellany of Popular Antiquities, in Connection with the Calendar. Including Anec dote, Biography, and Mowry eliao.Oitie.4 of Literature, and Oddities of Human Life and Character." The publications of Messrs. Chambers are all eminenfiy pr..eile.l, and conelstenily atm at in structing and elevating the People. Disseminating information indispensable to ordinary and intelli gent life, in a simple and comprehensible style, they are to nearly every household the source of much instruction and pleasure. Chambers' Ency clopedia, now in course of publication, is of itself a library in a few volumes, and, containing the most. generally wanted information on nearly all subjects, is worthy of its title, " A Dictionary of Universal EilOTtleOge for the People." Bat the " DOA of Days" is the latest and, in some respects, promises to be the most popular of the Lippincott-Chambers' publications. Part lis before us. Commencing with 6, Time and its natural measures, 77 it continuos with "The year, the day, the month, the calendar, primitive almanacs," dco., on all of which topics much valuable information is given in a piceCing manner. Following this is a descriptive article on January, which fitly commences the work : the preceding part be ing introductory, The history and characteristics of the month follow, with representations of snow crystals, and proverbs suited to the month. Next comes the Kalendar, with notices of the most im portant incidents connected with each day—disco veries ancient customs—festivities—appropriate poetry—saints' days—popular notions and super stitions—and noticesof eminent persons of all coun• tries and lima! born on the different days. In this opening part the record comes down to Twelfth Day, (January 6,) and there are notices, with por traits and other illustrations, of Edmund Rorke, Burger the poet, Lord Ellesmere, Wycherley the dramatist, Robson the Cambridge carrier, General Wolfe, Ovid, Lord Chancellor Rosslyn, General Montt, Wedgwood the putter, Bough - to aurruld (a capital sketch), the brothers Grimm, Rachel, and Benjamin Franklin. The work is liberally and elegantly illustrated, and will be wonderfully po. pular in families There were no such books is the days of our youth. NES. BENET WOOD'S NEWEST NEW NOVEL It ha .uid that IN apolcou could dictate, on three or four different subjects, to as many secretaries all at once. Mrs. Henry Wood must have similar means of putting her clever fictions upon paper_ Within the last fortnight or so, we have noticed two of her new novels, and here is a third, to be published by T. B. Peterson in a few days, printed from the manuseript and a& aaEg proof sheets purchased from the author, so as to anti cipate its appearance in London. "A Life's Secret : A Story of Woman's Revonge," does not resemble any of Mrs. Woed'a preceding tales, ea. cept in the wonderful power of putting the render into full possession of the motives of the leading characters, in giving the LAM natural Waver , satins, and in concealing the denouement to the very close of the story." This last, so essential to, the novelist, Mrs. Wood possesses in a larger de gree Thai) any other living writer_ Mixed up with the incident of the talc, whim' runs through it, is a striking and painfully truthful account of the rise, progress, and decline of the social evil called a builders' " strike." It is as powerful 99 painful, and ebows Mrs. Wood's possession of the elements of domestic tragedy. WESTRIN3TEII REVIEW Some time ago we informed our readers that the Trestinimste, Remew had changed hands, and would be issued in future by Mr. Triibner, the well•known foreign publisher in London, who him self writes books as well as sells them. His Bio graphical Guide to American Literature (pp. 554, °deco), published in 1859, is extremely well ex ecuted, giving a classified list of books originally published in the United States during the last forty years, with a bibliographical introduction, notes, sa d talplaabetioal index. Tile West TR.P7F6I4T E8V6610, establhbed in 1824 by Jeremy Bentham, started with two leading ideas. First, that, in mundane matters, it would advocate the Utilitarian principle of " the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people," next that its writers should treat spi ritual matters as if their creed was universal dis belief and doubt of whatever Christians have been accustomed to hold sacred. Macaulay, (Edin burgh. Review. March, 1829,) in his celebrated criticism on Mill's article on Government, gave a death-blow to the impracticable principle of Utilitarianism, but the skeptical spirit of the original writers has always prevailed in the Review. Of late years, where it has net been Soeiman, it has been Free•thinking. The April number, the first under Mr. Triibner's atimi nistration, has reached us through Mr. Zieber, fiemst for the Net, York: rspublloalloa of tla o British Reviews, and is a decided improvement, in its general articles, upon its predecessors. It opens with a curious paper on the Mythelogy of p o ly. nesia, followed with articles on English Endowed Schools, German Life during the last Two Centu ries, and the recent Autobiography of Mrs. Delany, the particular friend of George 111, and his wife. The initials G. L lead us to think that a scholarly notice of Cmsar's Campaign in Gaul was written by Mr. Long. The only heavy article, which is charitably brief, is a review of Bishop llerepdvids Fathers of Greek Philosophy. An amusing re • sums of a chatty book by M. Bouche de Perthes— a fair disquisition on the character, conduct; and policy of Napoleon 111, and a justly severe anatomy of Thornbury's Life of Turner, the painter. The closing article is an elaborate bio graphic eulogy upon Lord Stanley, eldest sonof the Bari of Derby, an able man, now only tairty•six, yet with eleven years experience in the Mouse of Commons, who ought to rise, for he prefers principle to patty. We can honestly say that the new number of the Wesimtnster, in the articles just men tioned, has not an exceptionable sentence, and we rejoiced over its improved and chastened tone. Appended to the main body of the Reotem, how ever, are nearly forty pages in small type, in which contemporary literature is more or less fully no ticed, under different heads. In the number be fore us, the opening subject is headed " Theology," and is an elaborate defence of the Realism of the poisonous "Essays and Reviews" which have caused so much discussion and dissension in the Anglican Church. The Westminster Reviewer treats the subject precisely as Dr. Strauss, or any other Socinian would. The "Essays and Re views" he praises to the seventh heaven, but no scorn and contempt are sufficient in his mind, for the various Replies to these pestilent productions, and the prophecies and miracles recorded in Holy Writ are chiefly worthy, in his view, of being Hill culed and logically argued down. Me calmly as as a postulate, that "the doctrine of the Atonement, as taught by the Evangelicals, is of fensive to the moral sense." In conclusion, we recommend Mr. Triibner, if he desire to have the Westminster Remelt , perused by Christians, to purge his small type of Socinianism and disbelief, as he has already purged the main portion of the publication. NEW POETRY There is one thing worse than common-place prose—namely, bad poetry, which is prose run mad. Mr. Carleton, a New York publisher of taste and judgment, has sent us two volumes of verses, twin like in personal appearance, but very different in degree. These are severally entitled, " Sybelle, and other Poems : by L," and " Ballads of the War : by George Whitefield Hewes." The anony mous author clearly exhibits the faculty divine, not so much in the - principal poem; for .t Sybelle " has too little incident for most readers, but in the less ambitious compositions which occupy more than half the volume. Some of these minor poems are so essentially lyrical that, as one reads them, they almost make music for themselves. A little gong called " Jenny " (p. 104, 5.) reminds us of Burns, yet, is by no means an imitation ; "A Song for New Year's Eve," and " Signs of Spring," would bo creditable to any poet; "Hoeing Corn "tells a love story in a few stanzas; "Kitty's Choice" shows that feeling for humor, which oven the state. Hest bards sometimes exhibit; (just as we may fancy Jove playing with his thunderbolts) and " King and Queen," quaint and brief, mightbe taken for )6 delicate translation from Beranger, minus the sen suous feeling of that true lyrist. The anonymous author of " Sybelle" is a poet. " Ballads for the War," Mr. Hewes appears as ono who has mistaken aspiration for ability. fie Wally confesses ' and Wm mitigates eirititigam that his Poems "are the work of much labor and much love," and not careless, casual productions. Although in his PTerlieV ) be Realm of diving for 41;0 bright diamond of renown in a diamond sea—for getting that pearls, not diamonds, aro dived for— we admire its candor and manliness. The ine quality of Mr. Hewes , verses is surprising_ A ballad, entitled The Soldier of the Third," sug gested by a war-incident related in The Press, is better than nineteen-twentieths of the ordinary newspaper poetizing of the time. It has the true ring, and is exciting. " The Lady of the Lieu tenant Colonel," and a few other pieces, are also good—but, with singular bad taste, Mr. Hewes overweighs them with compositions in which vul gar subjects are treated in a free and vulgar man ner. " The Big Whisky Punish" would be con temptible, even as a street ballad, The verses tt To a Foundling," commencing Little babe! little babe ! Little babe, lOW ; Why do you alumina , hese Tell me, I pray, are as puerile as nursery nonsense rhymes. The puns in "The Rifle and Bayonet" and " Philip's 'Victory over Milts — are miserable.

EYEBMEABT'S MISCELLANIES This is a neatly gaup volume, published by Edward F. James, West Chester. It is a mixture of good and bad—or, more properly speaking, of readable and unreadable compositions. The bat ter, which happily is the larger portion, contains Mr. Everheart's recollections of travel in Great Britain and -Ireland, France, Switzerland, Austria ? Trurwin, llohand, Italy, Simi% Qreuuo, Turkey, Egypt, and the Holy Land. Of these reminiscences and observations he might have made a larger book, It is very good as it is, for what he bag to say is said in an easy, pleasant way. If Remi- niscences of Rufus Choate and Judge Story are out of place in this book of foreign travel, so are the Em.ays on Women, Misapplied Tadao*, Tee, the Dog Boz, and Oliver Goldsmith. More especially is Mr. Everheart's juvenile Washington's birth- Oay Oration of 1848, and his seven years' later Agricultural Address, in which he quoted Latin to the farmers. We notice some errors of haste, each as "There are but few countries,"—the but being superfluous, and the positive mistake of saying that the old city of Chester, in England, is "some times called West Chester." There is only one Chester in England, and the word " West " is eo ea refined to that.

To-day the army is really moving • all of the dozen roads leading to Corinth are filling up with troops, waggons, artillery, and ambulances, Knowing that there was to be &race:a...1.a.... ad s areerad eu , I west out early to the front. I followed the wrong road to the wrong place, and consequently found nothing, bat I had a delightful and interesting ride. I sae accompanied a of the way by the o,lessi of lb. RAT-seventh Illinois Regiment, who had entered this very locality with the advance of Pope's army last Sunday morning. The remains of the Secession army were every where risible; their old ramping grounds were eadly dlstle guished, and wagons and ambulances were strewn along. They tenet have had a hard time getting away, the roads were very bad. I finally arrived at the place where the heed of the salami& was peatis g 'e s ay L.,4 made a slight attack, driven the enemy's pickets a short distance, fired a round or two of musketry, and then, owing to some failure in a part of their arrangements, wore o bli g ed ko fall baek. IL we. aald that some of tho troops had not yet got into line. It looks to me as though tho whole army was going to march with ex tended and gradually converging lines to Corinth. To morrow will unanestionably AAA Our AdWiette, either In_ aideor close under their entrenchments. Meantime, it is curious to see how matter-of-fact everything Is; how devoid of excitement and interest everything is; how utterly ignorant evorybudy is of what is going to happen, or - of the significance of any move. A colonel of a regiment receives from his bri gade commander an order to furnish so many men at ROI an hour, to be at a certain point, They are sent they march along the route ; they are ordered to deploy as skirmishers; they deploy, and finally espy a hostile picket-guard; they are ordered to fire, and they fire, or thee are ordered to advance, and they lakrange j or to frill back, and they ran back. Meantime, they are fol lowed by other men ; they have not the least idea how many. They cannot even tell whether they are simply moving camp or making a reconnaissance, or advancing With the purpose of a general engagement. They do as they are ordered, and then atop. They have no respon sibility, and very little care, as to what happens. But toy•and-by, the noise of firing along the whole line shows them Mat the battle le really in Preeress, and then every men understands exactly what is the object of the gene ral, and bow he can best promote it. Then the hot fever of excitement fires his blood, every nerve is strained; every muscle taxed to its utmost capacity. Evory earn. mon soldier becomes a part of the brain, and the energy, and the courage, that wins the grand battle—the result of leeks of marching, bridge-building, patient waiting, and anxious expectation. This morning I visited, as I have said, the head of the column which made the attack. The men had stacked their arms, and were lying on the ground waiting for their provisions to come up. They were chatting and laughing in the most unconcerned manner. They did not know whether they were going to fight the next minute or retreat, and, as a natural consequence, they wisely resolved not to care. All along the road, the soldiers on the march had the same appearance of care lessness. They mightkave boon going after water, for all the interest they appeared to express in their counte nances. To-morrow, when, if it does not rain, we shall march on Corinth, a gefficral idea of what is to be done will get about, and every face will be lighted up with in• telligence and interest. But it must be remembered that our task is only half done, if we simply take Corinth; we must capture the force, and that may require Wale longer manoeuvring. " Patience, and shuttle the cards." I visited some of the houses along the route. Every house is strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to pass in or out. We have had enough of spies, and all the people in this part of the country are thoroughly Seces -61011. One of the two women left at a large farm house was quite voluble in relating her troubles and distresses. Der five cows were gone, her chickens bad bees stolen or bought [away, and her larder was entirely empty; ever) - thing wee either "done" or " done gone." What ludi crously uncouth expressions these Southern people have! Even the best educated of them talk with's negro twang. Thielively individual was possessed of an acerbity of tem per, which contributed any thing but a pleasant exprea don to her countenance. The daughter, who was quite pretty, got au upward curl on bar nose, and an interest ing curvature on her upper lip,and in that bewitching facial condition ebe petrified her lovely features for our especial benefit, for which we were very thankful, though we would not have put her to that trouble for anything. We found a good-looking officer of the Seventeenth Ohio bad evidently bOan endeavoring to get into our Helen's good graces, and bad, as evidently, been sadly discomfited. After withering us with the superb and queenly expression of contempt which I have faintly en deavored to describe, she flounced amiably into the house and glared at us through the keyhole. Ono of our party, of course I don't say who it was, was extremely good-looking, and probably fascinated eves the obdurate heart of a /inception, I have travelled, during the last year, in the wildest and most uninhabited parts of Wieconsin, away up in the Pineriee and the cranberry marshes. and in the most forlorn parts of Egypt, but rover, until I saw this Tennessee Pythoness, have I beheld a woman without hoops. This sad indi cation of berbariem I was not prepared to meet, and when she strode Into the house on the heavy majestic, and feebly endeavored to put on etyle with her conened and flabby skirts, I looked at her a moment as though she were Banquo's ghost, and then put spurs to my Woo and galloped off as Uta ding was after me.

In order that you may fully com prehend bow bravely the Now Jersey Brigade (com posed of the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Red. meats), fought, I will endeavor le give you a faithful synopsis of everything they did. The rebels commenced leaving their fortified position before Yorktown on Friday last on Saturday, or rather early on Sunday morning, our pickets brought in word of the leaving of their rear guard, and immediately General Smith's Division, stationed on our extreme left, followed them in pursuit. At ten o'clock on Sunday morning, our divirdon, undue command of Brigadier General Hooker, broke camp and followed in the retreating steps of the rebels. The First Brigade of the Division, under General Grover, pushed ahead and got about two hours start of the other two brigade& Our brigade (the third) marched until mid night without resting, without eating a mouthful, save a few hard crackers the men had in their haversack& WA then bivouacked is the weed& with.me but the trees, in the midst of a terrific rain storm. The next morning at daybreak, we again started ahead, the mud knee deep, and the rain still falling in torrents. The men carried in their knapsacks, betdoes their usual bsoQago and shelter tents, sixty mimes of cartridges. With this heavy load they staggered, without eating any breakfast, or drinking anything but rain water caught in their india,rubber blankets. After marching two hours, we heard the distant booming of artillery, and an aid riding rapidly up to us, ordered us to close up and move on lively, as the enemy had made a stand about two miles glee ( ' of lie. At about 8 o'clock We arrived at the battle field, and without unalinging knapsacks or stopping for a moment's rest, our Brigadier, Frank Patterson, formed us in line of. battle. Iu order to fully understand our Maim let me digress, and give lon a description of the ground on which we fought- The main road to NU liemsburg, along which we Caine ; is cut through a dense forest of pine of enormous growth, and just where the spires Of the town rifle to view spreads out an Open plain of some miles in extent. On this plain, directly in front of the road, is situated the strongest of the rebel en trenchment& In order to strengthen their defence at this point, the rebels lit d felled the trees on both sides of the road for about two hundred yards in the forest, and the same distance along the road the brsnehes inter lacing and pointed towards us, made almost an im passable barrier. However, into the fulled' . timber we taffies], the Fifth Regiment in advance, the Sixth following, then the Seventh, and last the Eighth. To the left of this impenetrable, I was about to say, cheveaux de frize, is a little wood that is abided on its left by a deep ravine, into this wood We worked our way to relieve the First Brigade that had been fighting the enemy since four in the morning, (it was then 8 o'clock.) I was ordered to deploy two coiri And 06kAtel$: G, es okirruisher a did, and soon drew a volley from the enemy, who were stationed in the ravine above alluded to. Their first fire cost me four men wounded and two killed ; but I assure you my boys took ample revenge. Shelterluffthemstirod behind the trees, they poured volley after volley into the rebels, and, from their proximity to them, their buck and ball did terrible execution. As I had no bugler, and no bugle with me, to give the command to my Men, I or dered them to fall back, and immediately our whole bri gade opened fire. There we fought, alternately advancing and retreating, until four o'clock Tic the afternoon, Then we wero out of ammunition, our !mullets were caked with powder, and meted by the rain that was still falling in torrents; and not even then do I believe the brave Jersey boys would have fallen back, had it not been for their loss of officers. Col. Starr, of the Fifth, was wounded; Lieut. Col. Yanleer, commander of the Sixth) and the adjutant of that re g iment, beside., a num ber of the line officers, were killed. Lieut. Col. Carman, commanding the Seventh, was wounded; and Col. John son anti Major Ryerson, of the Eighth, were, the first evemehd, the tweed killed. We then loft the wood., and met Sickels', or the Second brigade of our division, just coming up to our relief. The offi cers endeavored to rally the men behind the relief, but without avail; they were thoroughly ex hauled, without ammunition, and their moistures clogged from constant firing. A battery of regular artillery, just as we were coming out of the woods, came very near causing a panic, by shamefully abandoning their guns and dashing away on their horses. The enemy immediately took the battery and used it with terrible effect, ou us. It was at this moment that our fates trembled in the balance. Should Sickel's men waver (and death and destruction raged rampant In their ranks), our defeat and annihilation seemed inevitable. General Heintzelman, our corps com mander, rode everywhere, cheering on the men, and beg ging those tt at fell back to close up to the front. Gen. Hooker eat, cool and collected, watching the progress of the fight ; when, at half past four, all seemed lost, he or dered up Smith's battery to the centre of the road, to fire ou friend or foe should any retreat be made. At iP. M. the distant sound of bugles apprised as of reinforcements coming to our aid, and soon after General Kearney, (formerly of the First New Jersey Brigade,) now in com mand of Hamilton's division, with that division, rode up, and we saw we were saved. Tears of joy sprang to the eyes of every one, and, with one wild shout, those brave boys rushed into the field. The enemy fell back, gradu ally, tbo firing ceased slowly, and, with their arms be side them, our tired soldiers sank down on the damp ground to rest. Other reinforcements game up during the night, and early in the morning the enemy retreated beyond Williamsburg, pursued very closely by our forces. The loss in our regiment was very great, considering the number of men that we took into battle. On account of the straggling, we went into the fight with about 380 wen, end our loss was es follows: ?t , killed, 94 wounded, and two or three prisoners. The loss in my company was ten wounded, four killed, and one taken prisoner, besides my first lieutenant, Thomas C.

The remaining one fought us for an hour afterward, making this bombardment of two hours and fifteen minutes' duration. The gunboats Aroostook and Port hoist were with us, but dill not take an active part in the engagement, though they did some execution with their long guns. FLIGHT OF REBEL GUNBOATS The rebel gunboats Jamestown and Patrick Henry were OUT under the aims of the eeoond fort, but, instead of assisting its di•fence, they got up steam and ran away with all speed towards Richmond. Our damage in the engagement wee small. One shot struck the Aroostook and went through her bulwarks under the hammock net tines. No one wits injured. Ono or two shots struck us, but they oily left their mark on our Iron mail and glided oil' After passing The second fort, wo started up the river, but the buoys have been removed, and there we stuck bard and feat, waiting for high tide.
