Pur Periodical Literature.
There are at least three first-class Ameri
can periodicals on which the stamp of the
American mind is deeply impressed—theae
are the National Quarterly .I&viese, edited by
Edwiird I. Sears, A. M.; the AtlantieMonth
,ly, edited by ProfeSsor J.. It Lowell ; and
.ITarpers Mayazine, which, without any
avowed literarThead, is-admirably conduct
ed. These three periodicals stand in the
first rank. The two first are wholly origi
nal ; the last is chiefly so. There are not
more than, three first-rate periodicals in Eng
land. There is actually no Review in Eng
land equal to Mr. Sears' National Quarterly;
no Magazine - as good as Harper's or the At
lantie, _Monthly. Now and then, to be sure,
some'very brilliant or very learned article
does appear in an English quarterly or
monthly, which sets the world talking or"
thinking—for half an hour. It fizzes and
gees:: round, like a Catharine wheel, or as
cendOike a rocket, but then is the end of
it. The articles in-our magazines are better,
.on the whole, than any that their British ri
vals now publish Even Temple Bar and
t4e Comw, which premised so well at first,
have settled down into 'dull respectabilities.
The-Edinburgh ! has declined since Macaulay
ceased to write in it. The Quarterly has
been slow since the death of 'Lockhart.
2:4*serla changed its very nature when Ma
ginn, and Mahony left it. Blackwood has
neyerfairly held up its head since "glorious
John" Wilson ceased to 'feed it from the
fountain of his Wonderful and prolific genius.
The-star of literature, like that of empire, -is
cidnrinathig'in the West:
NATIONAL QUARTERLY REVIEW.
A new number of the Naticmal Quarterly Review
has just been published. It appears, we must say,
with' remarkable punctuality. It completes the
sixth half-yearly volume, to which it gives title-page
and index. We are disposed to consider this the
best number yet issued,—more, varied in subject,
more able in treatment, more lucid in criticism, and
• not less fearless in truth-speaking. Its principal
subjects are' critical, scientific, and philosophical.
But there is also'an infusion of the practical, which,
no dotibtovill interest business men and those who
have an interest in " the almighty dollar" and its
smallest fractions. Last September this Review
contained an article on Quackery of Insurance
Companies, which "fluttered the Volsci at Coroili,"
for it drew forth the indignation of the tribe of petty
journals which live upon insurance advertisements,
the money expended for which is literally plundered
from :the funds of the reepective offices, inasmuch as
they are not read by the public, in elass-publications
of small circulation and little' reputation. Adver
tising is an excellent thing, but it is better to pay
five dollars for an announcement in a journal siren
lating.3o,ooo per diem, than to pay two dollars in
one of,which only 6,000 are sold. Of the .propriety
of exposing quackery in insurance, or in any other
public department, whereby people's money may be
perilled by investment, there can be no doubt. If
any Philadelphia journalist had written, boldly but
truly, only nine months ago, on the,then suspected,
and indeed known-to-many, condition of the United
States Insurance, Annnity, and Trust Company,
(corner of Third and Chestnut streets), he might
have saved hundreds from ruin. Inthe new number
of the rational Quarterly, the question of Insurance
Quackery is again taken up, treated from its origin,
and boldly laid bare; at the same time, justice is
done to the Insurance Companies which are above
censure, and of those beneath, not even the titles
are given—a forbearance due, we suspect, to a
wholesome dread of the libel-law which, delighting
in fiction, declares "the greater
the truth, the
greater the libel." The article cannot fail to be of
use, if it only leads to this—before any one insures
property or life let him carefully examine and ascer
tain the character of the office to which he trusts his
money.
- The: purely literary papers are those upon the
Works and Influence of Schiller, which really is a
biography as well as a fine piece of analytical criti
cism; Lucian and his Times, which will introduce
to Many the earliest and severest as well as the best
tempered : of keen satirists;.Charlemagne and his
Times, a fine hiatorioal study ; and a rapid notice of
J. Sheridan Knowles, the dramatist. Akin to this
subject, too, is a lucid yet subtle essay on Orators
and Lloquende, from which we give two brief ex
tracts:
" All eloquence, therefore, is the fruit of earnest.
ness. The orator's soul must be in his accents;
must modulate his tones,
control .his speech, and
inspire his utterance. It must speak with all its
tongues and voices—as Cresar's woundswere orators
neither dumb nor mute in the Senate house of Rome.
Itniust be read in the eye, heard on the tongue, and
legible in every featifre. In deep and earnest feeling
alone is the magic that shall touch the heart. The
intellect alone in vain essays this strange power;
she may, indeed, strike the chords of the mystic
lyre, but / no music will respond ; no song be sung ;
no anthem of grandeur roll its rich measures along;
no choral strains bring down an answering gift from
heaven. The heart must speak; and then not even
Mernnon's lips shall murmur such sweet music,
though, more than an earthly sun send his royal
beams of light and warmth upon him.
" Simulated feeling will not ?to ; the tears must be
real ; they must not only fill the eyes, but flow from
the heart. Curran, intellectually, was quite inferior
to' Burke, but he was the greater orator, for he
sooner reached the sympathies of the masses ; swayed
them as forest trees are swayed by resistless tem
pests and storms ; and that power which he in so
remarkable a degree possessed and exercised, gave
him a decided advantage over that wonderful states
man, philosopher, and orator—that man whose
name is but another for genius and learning.
"The orator is to be himself, and not to strive - to
be another. He is to improve his - own manner; to
cultivate his own genius,; to bring to grovith and
fruitage his own faculties and powers.- He should.
have his style, a style peculiar to himself, and not
study to imitate the action nor to acquire the gifts
and endowments of another. No reason can be as
signed why the natural manner should not -he the
best and most effective. Indeed, we know that it is
both graceful and expressive. In the unstudied and
untaught grace of the child, in the innocence of in
fancy.entirely unconscious and unrestrained, and in
the wild freedoth and untutored movements of the
savage, we behold the truth of our declaration.
And were men not cramped by artificial rules, we
should see natural, and hence expressive, grace of
action in all. •
" In the- instances already - named is found some
share of that grace and ease discovered only among
the cultivated and the polished. But every man
-who rises to eminence as an orator learns by expe
rience to solve this problem for himself, and dis
cards all institutes and mechanical formulas as un
natural restraints upon the freedom of nature, de
structive alike -to grace, beauty, and power of ex
pression, and adopts from choice what nature,
wisest mother of us all, suggests and leaches. Every
greatorator, therefore, has a manner of his own.;
.he paints his own great picture, having found his
own pigments and mixed his colors, and laid them
on the canvas of his own genius and inspiration.
He copies no one ; or if he copies, he still retains
his individuality ; the work is his'and not another's
the beauties and
. glories of the composition attest
his claim tonheir authorship. His oratory is as
peculiar to him as the cast of his countenance. His
manner is the result of the emotion he feels, and is
peculiar to the color and tone of his thought and ex
pression. Nor is he troubled by the theory of action ;
he thinks not of his hands nor his feet; he has no so
licitude about his gestures; he is oblivious to every
thing mechanical and constrained ; he trusts to him
-self and nature ; be is received into her family ; he
becomes her.child ; he is crowned her son and right,
ful heir ! A happy manner is a great accomplish-,
Gent; but if the orator nave -it not, he thinks not
of it, but gives himself up to his theme and to,
theinspiration it enjoins, nor wastes his time in
grasping shadows. He cannot afford-to waste the
thunder of reason, nor the lighting of conviction;
nor the penetrating fires of argument, for the sake
of obtaining the outward graces of the schools.
Think, if you can, of Chalmers, the great Scotch
orator and divine, troubling himself with the mere
outward graces of eloquence ! What did he know
of action in the sense of which the schoolmen
speak? He knew nothing and cared less. He -- had
no action ; was - hardly conscious that he had hands
or feet ; but you could not hear that great master of
oratorical presence and power, without being in
spired and carried hway by the resistless tides of his
eloquence." "
This is finely because . truly written, and the
vAiole article abounds in thoughtful passages like
this. The remaining papers treat of Astronomical
Theories, Electro•Blagnetism and Kindred Sciences,
and Culture of the Hunian Voice. In this last, the
Reviewer partly bases his remarks on " The Philo
sophy of• the Human Voice," by our townsman Dr.
James Rush—a work of great acumen and merit.

Chandler Moulton. Here'we must interject the re
mark that, in two of these tales, the incidents are
'almost identital. In "My Thanksgiving," and
also In "Kitten," the whole interest turns on
the fact of a lover's going to the war, being
reported ' dead, returning home, and having
the usual tragic end of matrimony. In

cially described as " quite deaf," she is ,represented

man of ninety-three.. "Fifth Avenue" is a satiri

severest personal character ever put in print. It
makes one anxious to read the book itself, and an
able review of it in another part of the numbe4.(by
Mr. Guernsey, we suspect,) adds to that desire. We
would suggest, however, that it Is scarcely fair to
sneer at Louis Napoleon for having "carried a chaff ,
as a special policeman" in London in 1848. A Char- -
tist demonstration was expected and dreaded. All
ranks, all ages volunteered to act for Rie defenoe of
, public order. The Earls of Eglinton,. Chesterfield, and
Wilton, the Duke of Beaufort, and other noblemen,
volunteered to act as special constable; and Napo
leon, their intimate, who had been protected in his
exile by British law, did the same. Is gels a thing
to taunt him with? "A Queen's Day," by J. H.
Siddons, is curious as containing a guess-work ac
count of the manner in which Queen 'Victoria passes
her day. He describes the "Gentlemen-at-Arms"
as a corps, each of whom pays .£l,3oefor his com
mission, the fact being that, for some time past, this
purchase-system has been abolished, and the com
missions are given to deserving military and haval
veterans. He says, " I once held one of these coin
missions ; and after, by selling the- commission
which I had bought, I had relinquished the weary
Privilege of standing bolt upright for four hours in
the presence of the Sovereign and the Court,-I held
a small appointment in the royal househohL"
We affirm that J. H. Siddons, (neither - in that
alias nor in hie real name,) ever did' hold one of these
commissions ; and as for residing in a-royal` palace;
as one of the royal household, the only &welling'

Col. Ferguson has sufficient strength to hold the

1862, and the end of last month. Mr. Mason's letters
urge the Government. to recognize the Confederate
States and to break.the blockade. He goes into long
arguments on international law 5 but most of Earl
Russell's replies are merely courteous acknowledg
ments of having received his communications. On
the 2d of August, however, Earl Russell Writes :'
"In the face of the fluctuating events of the war ;
the alternations of victory and defeat; the capture
of New Orleans ; the advance of the Federal's to
Corinth, to Memphis, and the banks of the Missis
sippi as far as Vicksburg, contrasted, on the other
hand; with the failure of ,the attack on Charleston
and the retreat from before Richmond ; placed, too,
between allegations so contradictory on the part of
the contending powers, her Majesty's Government
are still determined to wait." .
In the beginning of this year, Mr. Mason .ad
dressed to the Foreign Office a letter merely dated
"January, 1863," in which he objects to the views of
the English Government on the subject of blockades.
In reply to this, Earl Russell writes :
-
"I have, in the first place, to. assure you that her
Majesty's Government would much regret if you
should feel that any want of respect *as intended by
the circumstance of a mere acknowledgment of your
letter having-hitherto been addressed to you. With
regard to the question contained in -it, I have to sav
that her Majesty's Government see no reason to
qualify the language employed in my, despatch to
Lord Lyons of the 16th February last. It appears
to her Majesty's Government to be sufficiently clear
that the declaration of Paris could not be intended
to mean that a port must be so blockaded as really
to prevent access in all winds, and independently of
whether the communication which might be carried
on in a dark night, or by means of small low steam- '
ers or coasting craft creeping along the. shore; in
short, that it was necessary that communication
with a port under blockade should be utterly and ab
solutely impossible under any circumstances.
"In - further illustration of this remark, I may say
there is no doubt that a blockade would •be in legal
existence although a sudden storm , or. change of
wind occasionally blew off the squadron.. This is a
change to which, in the nature of things, every
blockade is liable.. Such an accident does not sus
pend, much less break,. a blockade. Whereas, on
the contrary, the driving off a blockading force by
a superior force does break. a blockade, which
must be renewed de. novo, in the.-usual form, to be
binding upon neutrals: The declaration of Paris
was, in truth, directed against what were once
termed ' paper blockades e. - that is, blockades not
sustained by any actual force - or..sustained by a
notoriously inadequate naval: , force, such as the
occasional appearance of a man-of-war in the offing,
or the like. The adequacy of the force to maintain
the blockade must, indeed, always, to a certain ex-

- - - -
11tirr.az:DoEvILLE, Ga., March 2.45.---The General
Assembly convened in extra session and was organ
ized to-day.
Governor Brown sent in a message, in which he
recommended the restriction of ,cotton planting to a
quarter of an acre to each hand, under a heavy
penalty. He argues the necessity of the cause for
this action by presenting the possible scarcity of
provisions.
He recommends that further restrictions be put
upon the distillation of spirits, so ab to prevent the
lige of potatoes, peas and dried peaches for that
phrpose.
He opposes the endorsement of the bonds of the
Confederate States by Georgia, as calculated to
impair the confidence of capitalists and to injure the
credit of the State both at home and abroad, while
it can do the Confedetacy no good.
He recommends that Congress be requested to
levy a tax to repay the interest on the whole debt
and create a sinking fund to extinguish the whole
debt gradually. He argues in favor of a cordial
support being given to the Confederate Government
and Administration.
He recommends an increase of the salaries of the
State officers, and desires the Legislature to devise
the best plan of furnishing laborers for the coast
defences. He also recommends that the State ears
be used to carry corn to the destitute portion of the.
State. An amendment of the militia laws of the
State is also recommended.

Russian Consul was- threatened with violence by

of Poland, even at the expense of war, which
would be popular in such a cause. Lord Palmerston
refused to commit himself.

that Poland, if - left to herself, will be eventually a

far from the rebellion being crushed, it seems not

LORD LYONS ON "RECOGNITION."
Among the. diplomatie correspondence' lately pub- '
lished ie ns, letter. from Lord= Lyons, written just
after the successes-of the Democratic perdr in the "
elections, in which he states that several icaders of
that party _had. sought interviews with him, and'
told humthat a proposal. of foreign intervention at
that time was-inopportune, and would weakeic'them
and strengthen thewar party. He remarks that be
fore the elections- am inclination to a peace nolicy
was SO ill received-that a strong declaration in favor
of war-was thought-necessary by the Democratic lceckirs,
who accordingly were, at the` date of his letter,
clamoring for a more- vigorous prosecution of hos
tilities.
Referring to the opinions of those who recommsild
mediation - , as preliminary to the recognit on of the•
Southern Government,,Lord Lyons said :
"I do mot clearly understand what advantage to ,
expected to result from a mere recognition, and I
presume -the -European Powers do not contemplaW
breaking : the blockade- by. force of arms, or engaging:
in`hostilities with the United States i n support of
the independence of the South."
With reference to the apprehensions of some who
feared an attack on Canada in the event of a recon
struction of the Union, Lard Lyons writes:
"lithe reconstruction be still possible, I do not
think we need conclude that it would lead to an in
vasion of Canada, or to any consequences injurious
to Great Britain." ,

THE POLICE-
[Before Mr. Alderman Baffler.] %
Lost or Stolen.
A woman, pretty well advanced in years, named Ann
Budd, was arraigned before Mr. Alderman Beitler, on
Saturday afternoon, on the suspicion of having stolen a
sum of money amounting to between *1,400 and $1,600
in United States Treasury notes, belonging to Jesse R.
West, an old man, for many years a farmer in New
Jersey. From the evidence adduced at the hearing it
seems that Mr. West had recently taken lion% No.
:much Second street, to live in for the remaining portion
of his days. He engaged as - his housekeeper Mrs. Ann
Budd, who had kept house for him bdore. On Friday
lie purchased two or three chairs from a dealer at the
corner of .Second and Queen streets, and paid for them
from a pocketbook containing all his money, which he
replaced, or he thinks he did, in the inside breast pocket
of hie s vest. Re then carried the chairs to his new place
of abode. When he arrived he felt very tired, sat down,
laid his head into the lap of the housekeeper and soon
fell asleep, After he awakened she took a walk to a
neighbor's house. r wring her absence he felt for his
money. It was gone. When she returned, lte informed
her of the loss, and said that nobody could have taken
the money but herself. She stoutly denied the insinua
tion, and suggested that he may have lost it; that he
might have misplaced the book under his vest, and in
walking it dropped on the paVement. At her suggestion
.hg . nd vertised one 'hundred dollars reward for the re
covery of the book and its contents He, would not
charge her di] ectly with purloining the money, but she
might have done it.,
The dealer from whom Mr. West purchased the chairs
'testified that, to the best of his knowledge ,and belief,
after paying for the chairs, Mr. W. returned the book to
the pocket from which he hadjust taken it. Mrs. Budd,
e think it no mere than proper to state, ha.s'acted in.
the capacity of housekeeper for a numbos of persons., not
one a; whom, as she avers, ever charged-ber with steal
ing anything. She had been entrusted with many
valuable things, and this is the - first time her character
for honesty has even been called in question. In regard
to thismatter, condoned Mrs. Budd, I have.but little to
say; I really do not know anything about it; if he thinks
I have his money, let him keep on thinking so; I know
(here she spoke with slight cruphasis)chet I never Saw. it.
The defendant was required to enter bait in the sum of
51, 5(0 to await-a further hearing.
He Modifies Isis Evidence,.
In the recent abduetion case, heard betbre Mr.-Alder
man Beit ler, one of the witnesses, calling himself. Henry
T. Houmertze, testified that the person whom_ he saw in
the tailor store under the Continental was the same as
he Who interfered with the nurse at Seventh and Market
streets. On Saturday Mr. Houmertze called upon the
alderman and desired to state that, after due reflection,
he could not say positively that he was the same .man.
but he rather entertained the opinion that he. was not
the same individual. This counter statement makes a.
wonderful difference, so far as the charge of conspiracy
'is concerned.
Outrageous Beha-clor.
Charles Wagner and John Bleerossin were arraigned
before the same alderman, on Saturday, on the charge of
making attacks upon colored persons.who might chance
to pass Front and. Chestnut streets. The defendants are
draymen: One man, named John Young, Isbile peace
fully passing along, was molested by the defendants; as
is alleged, and badly injured by them. The .Prisonera
were ordered to find bail to answer.
[Before Mr. Alderman Dougherty.]
Alleged Leweeny,
A young man, known as John Price, alias Reddy, was
arrested at the Continental, on Saturday evening, by
Officer Russell,- on the charge of stealing, a box of
cigars from the store of Mr. Horn, Continental building,
fronting on Ninth street. It seems the defendant went
into the store and secreted a box of cigars beneath his
coat, and then. passed into the bar-room, thence
into the main passage-way leading to Chestnut
street. A piece of ,the box lid being loose, fell
to the Goon Finding that he was thus discovered, he
ran, and throwing the box down,. dodged around to
avoid his pursuers, and finally entered the reading-room
unobserved. While examinir g the contents of a literary
paper, which he held before his face, he was arrested by
15fr.-Russ,el, employed as a special detective at the esta
blishment. The defendant was required to enter bail in
the sum of 5100 to answer. lie was arrested a short time
since at the Kensington depot, on the charge of being a
professional thief, and' was committed by Alde:man.
Beitler for 90 days. On Saturday he was brought before
court on a writ of habeas corpus and discharged. In
his own defence he says he was drunk and did not know
what he was doing, when he took the cigars.
[Before 11r. Alderman McMullin. 3
A Han Stabbed in the Neck.
On Saturday, a woman named Catharine Buckley, re
siding omßird's alley, near the Southwark Hall, was
arraigned on the charge of stabbing a man, named
Sheerer in the neck, either wi d.
th a pair of scissors or a.
small knife. Mr. Sheerer resides up town, and is said.
to be a married man. He was at the residence of Mrs.
B. on Friday evening when he received the stab.. The
provocation for the use of the weapon has not been . pub-
Hely stated. Mrs. B. was committed to await the re
sult of the injuries to Mr. Sheerer.
[Before Mr. Alderman Hutchinson.]
Alleged. pisortlierly.llorase.
