Notices of New Books,
Mr. F. Leypoldfc, foreign book-seller in this city,
hasjufct published.a delightful little volume, neatly
golrup, and worthy of obtaining here a popularity
equal to that which it has in Europe. It contains
the letters of Fc lix Mendelssohn- Bartholdy, the
musical composer, from Italy and Switzerland, (and
also from Weimar, Preßburg, Munich, Paris, and
London,) in 1830-32. The translation from the
German was executed for the English publisher
by Lady Wallace, the mother of the late Sir Wil
liam Eon, aScottish baronet, who; turned actor.
Next to the correspondence or Byron and Scott,
these letters of MendelssohUj 'written'between
the ages of twenty-one and twenty-two, may be
taken as models oi good, familiar writiug upon the
variety of subjects which attract a tourist’s atten
tion. Those from Italy are especially good, and all
through the volume we find sensible criticism, not
only upon music, but also upon sculpture, painting,
.and- scenery’. Thesnatches of personal action are
given in the most natural maimer. The. whole cor-
Teepomienee was written without the slightest view
to publication, and is better in one Bense on that very
-account. Abiief biography of Mendelssohn suitably
,prefaces the letters. It omits many leading particu
lars in Mendelssohn’s career, and misdates others.
For instance, the “ Marriage of Oamacho,” a three
•aot opera, founded on an episode in “ Don Quixote,”
and produced on the Berlin stage in 1827,-is hot men
tioned. Next, it is stated that he left the Universi
ty in .1827, and , went to England in the following
year—whereas he did not go thitheruntil April, 1829.
No notice is taken of his visit to Scotland, and tour
through the Highlands, and the Hebrides,-in the au
tumn of that year, though we owe hiß fine orchestral
piece,The Isles of Fingal,” to his recollections of
Scotland, and though, in various of the Letters
now published, he alludes to his Scottish jour
ney and to his Overture to the Hebrides, sug
gested by it,, which he completed at Rome in Decem
ber, 1830.. His oratorio of; “ St. Paul ” is mentioned
as having been produced .at Dusseldorf in 1838,
under his own special superintendence, but not. a
word, is said of the great event of, his life, its per
formance in England, (at the Birmingham Musical
Festival : in.'beptember, 1837,) also under his own
direction, nor of his having also attended the Bir
mingham Festival in 1840, when his “Lobgesang;”
or, “ Hymn of Praise,” a sinfonia-cantata, com*:
posed expressly for that occasion, was first perform
ed under his own direction. The biography omits to
say, .that in 1811 the late King of Prussia named
his maitre de chapdle at Berlin. We are
told that bis oratorio of “Elijah” was produced
in 1847, at the Birmingham Festival. As we hap
pened to have been present, we .can say, from per
sonal knowledge, that it was performed there a year
earlier—namely, on .Wednesday, the 25th of Au
gust, 1846, Mendelssohn conducting, and the chief
vocalißts being Madame Oarradori Allen, Miss
Maria Hawes, Mr. Hobbs, Mr. Lockey, Mr. Henry
Phillips, and Herr Staudigl, the great basso.
There were eight encores. On the folio wing evening,
at the second Concert of the Festival, Mendelssohn
conducted his overture and music to-the “Mid
summer-Night’s Dream.” The biographer’s aum
lmng-up of Mendelssohn’s character, professional
aud private, is truthful and terse.
Mrs. J. Sadlier, of New York, has written several
works of. fiction off Irish subjects, or largely intro
ducing Irish characters, which have great circula
tion in thifl county and in- Canada. She has also
translated extensively, from the Spanish and French,
and is, indeed, a highly accomplished as well as a
gifted and original writer. As Wordsworth says:
“A perfect woman, nobly planned. ”
Her fictions may be divided into three classes:
Historical! as “The Red-Hand of Ulster,” and “The
Confederate Chiefs;” Irish, as “New Lights,” anil
“Maureen Dhu,” and IriahrAmericafy showing the
Irish element in this country and in our time, as
“The Blakes and Flanagans,” '“Willy Burke,”
“Bessy Conway,” and several other tales, of which
“ Old and New; or, Taste versus Fashion,” is the
latest and best. On this hook the best criticism we
have heard was from a lady who said, “ I scarcely
think that I am reading this story, for the people in
it are so natural;that I seem to hear them speak.”
It is a natural, unaffected, and probable tale,
the incidents ,and characters of which have
caused a lively sensational effect in New York,
among the pseudo-fashionists of Irish descent and
faith, who, having risen from want, by industry, en
terprise, and good fortune, get ashamed of their
country and its religion, and, very properly, are
ridiculed for their folly. “ Old and New ” has made
a stir among the Irish aristocracy of New York. It
has more incident, too, than its author has usually
introduced.
Of “ The Youth’s Catholic Library,” also publish
ed by D. & J. Sadlier, of New York, three volumes
•have been published, all translated from the French
of Balleydier, and others, by Mrs. Sadlier. . These
are “The Pope’s Niece,” “The Vendetta,” and
“Idleness; or, the Double Lesson.” Each volume
contains five or six stories," chiefly amusing, and
faithfully translated. There are now in the press
three corresponding volumes, also by Mrs. S,, viz:
“Father Sheehy,” “The Daughter of Tyconnell,”
and “ Agnes of Bramsburg.” The price of these plea
sant volumes, which are neatly hound in fancy cloth,
is only twenty-five cents a volume. Mrs. Sadlier
haß the rare merit of never being dull or tedious.
Mrs. Gaskell’s story, called “A Dark Night’B
Work,” which has simultaneously ran through AH
ike Year Roundand Harpers' Weekly, now forms the
last-issued volume of that excellent series, “Harpers’
Library of Select Novels.” It has the merit of
being earnestly, as weli as Bimply written, and reads
like a narrative of actual fact. The heroine is a
certain Eleanor Wilkins, whose life is spent, and
heart nearly broken, in the endeavor to conceal a
murder committed by her father in a moment of sud
den pasßion.—The new hovel, “ Very Hard Times,”
Which will run through Harpers' Weekly during the
next seven months, is from the pen of Ohas. Reade,
the novelist and dramatist. People ask; who is Mr.
Readfel. All that biographical dictionaries tell of
him Ib, that he broke ground in a comedy called
“ Masks and Faces,” which probably suggested his
writing “Peg Woffington,” a novel on the heroine
of his play. He subsequently produced “ Christie
Johnstone,” “White Itiesj” “Never Too Late to
Mend,” “Love Me Little, Love Me Long,” &o.
His latest is an historical romance, called “The
Cloister and the Hearth,” in which the adventures
of the parents of the great scholar Erasmus are j>up
posed to be related. To this, we have to add that
Mr. Reade, now approaching middle life, is a Fellow
of Magdalen College, Oxford, and also D. C. L.,
or Doctor of Civil Law.in that famous university.
His income from his fellowship is about $2,000 a
year. He cannot marry, as a Fellow, without a
special vote of hiß college. Usually the fellowships
are vacated by accepting Church preferment, or by
marriage.
A Popular Life of St. Patrick, Apostle and Patron
of Ireland, published by Messrs. D. & J. Sadlier,
New York, bears on its title-page only the modest
announcement “ by anlrishPriest.” This author,
Who has executed his task in a satisfactory and im
partial manner, judiciously distinguishing between
tradition and fact, is a young Catholic clergyman
who has devoted hiß leisure to the study of Irish
history, literature, and antiquities. In his biogra
phy of the pious man under whom Ireland became a
Christian country in the fifth century, he has not
left one leading incident of hiß life unnoticed. ,Of
course, he does not attach equal importance to each.
It is surprising how much is accurately known of
St. Patrick’s career at the distance of nearly four
teen hundred years. His autobiography, or “ Oon
feßsions,” remains, as well aB one of his letters, and
contemporary writers took care to preserve recol
lections of him. His biographer distinguishes be
tween what he wrote and what has been attributed
to him. The 17th Marche which Ireland celebrates
as her Saint’s day, was the day of his death, A. D.
465, and not of his birth. Armagh andLownpatrick
claim the honor of having received his mortal re
mains, hut the balance of evidence is in favor of the
latter place containing his grave. The concluding
chapters of this volume give interesting information
about the eArly Irish Church j its faith, doctrine, and
sacraments, and the condition and prospect of the
Catholic faith in Ireland at the present time. The
book, we may add, is singularly , free from contro
versial points. All sects may read it.
Periodical Publications*
The May number of Harper's Magazine , received
from - Peterson & Brothers, completes the 26th vo
lume of the work. Its readers will be glad to learn
that the publishers have in preparation, and soon
will issue, an index to the whole work, in which the
articles .will be arranged and classified under appro
priate heads, with the names of the authors. The
May number contains thirty-one illustrations, be
sides fashions, and a couple of whole-page facetiae,
entitled “Mr. Pigg’s Picture Gallery.” The Edi
tor’s Drawer is unusually good this month, The
number contains contributions from Harriet E,
Prescott, Samuel Osgood, Bourne Palmer, A; H.
Guernsey, Louise Jurniss, D, P. Thompson, Mary
E. Bradley, George William Curtis, Dinah Maria
Mulock,N. ,G. Shepherd, Charlotte Taylor, J. W.
De Forest, Caroline Chesebro, Egbert P. Watson,
Marian O. Evans, Joseph M. Miller, B. J. Lossing,
Anthony Trollope, and H. M. Alden.
The best articles are “ Scenes in the War of 1812
Hull’s Campaign,” and “ A Trip to the Caucasus.’,
We take leave to affiliate the latter upon Joseph M,
Miller, Esq., of thiß- city, a gentleman who has
travelled extensively and observed closely. His
tour, to, and beyond, the Caucasus was made in.
company with a Pole, who 1b a captain in the
BusBian service. Mr. Miller’s style is rapid and
graphic, and hurries the reader.on, just giving him
jime to see all worth seeing on the way.
Harper and Brothers have issued the first and
eecond numbers of Harper’s Pictorial History of the
War, Each number contains twenty-four pages
email 4to,;(size of llarpcr’s Weekly,) of letter-press,
liberally illustrated with well-engraved portraits,
views, plans,'maps, fac-similes, &c. The price is
only twenty-five cents per number, and the two
parts before üb, besides a copious Introduction of
preliminary events and causes, bring the narrative
down to the bombardment and evacuation of Fort
Sumpter, in April, 1861. As a contemporary history
of the Great Rebellion, this is by far the best
we. have seen. Received from T.’B. Peterson &
Brothers.
A Brief Notice of the Late experiment at
Charleston*
To the Editor of The Press :. .
Sir: To assail Charleston, from the sea, the first
difficulty in the way is to cross the bar, to find,
enter, and to follow the channel, from which every
Aid to navigation has been removed,'and to keep
Afloat while deprived of these usual guides during
"the excitement of battle, arid amidst the obscurity of
its smoke.; This difficulty is rendered more embar
rassing when the approach is to be made, as in this
instance, in vessels of such peculiar construction as
not .to admit of the use of the lead to sound with, or
•of a compass, to steer by, and which shut up the
captain, pilot, and' helmsman within a narrow iron
; box, with only small sight-holes to see through.
In peaceful times, it was not always* possible for
experienced pilots, familiar with the channels from
daily ÜBe of them, to conduct vessels of commerce
safely in and out of Charleston, with all the aid of a
clear field of buoys, beacons, ranges, sound*
ingfll and the compas, and with no disturbing cause
to distract their attention from the position and
course of the ship. .The harbor has been closed to
lis for two years; its channels are always subject to
change from natural causes, arfid artificial ones have
been added in the Interim by ourselves, which were
calculated to alter them still more. It may be as
sumed that insurance could not have been obtained
under'Such circumstances, minus the fighting, and,
considering these impediments < in the way at the
outset, it will be apparent that the admiral’s jurtg-
Mid determination must have been sorely tried j
when he-dreaded to take the - risks of the mere navi- j
§>auon in going in and in getting out, and that in"
tnie., vital .matter everything depended upon the ■
management of his captains and upon the recollec
tion of their pilots.
If it had been practicable to take the : tide upon its
flood, and he thus borne rapidly by the forts, within
gunshot of the city, something might have followed,
and in repassing the forts the ebb would have as
sisted the vessels: to regain, their anchorage: but it
was deemed nccesß&ry to enter with' the last of the
ebb, because the channel would be then most dis
tinctly marked, and also because, in the event of
grounding, the rising flood would aid in getting
afloat.
l ortunfttely, the tides were at their spring j the
water waklugh; the bar was'safely passed, ami the
channel gained without a gun from the enemy, al
though within easy range.
- Every place has its weak side, and here the rebel
engineers had neglected to command this entrance,
which has not been used since the hulks were sunk
in it, and Which they probably thought we should
.not attempt..
Thence the Monitor, the Keokuk, and the Iron
sides, about the centre of the line, moved oautiouslv
toward Moultrie, taking the fire of that fort of
Sumpter, of Cummings’ Point, and Fort Wa-ner
and returning it, until they were brought up b? the
oracles which were stretched across the mouth of
the haibor, and which effectually arrested their pro
gress. Here they were exposed to a rapid, continu
ous, and concentrated fire of .the, most formidable
missiles ever used against floating batteries* which
wouJcl have knocked wooden ships into too'thplcka
V* a minutes, and which, in a very brief time,
disposed of .the Keokuk most effectually. ' This ves
sel.received ninety shots, a greater number than
were thrown by all the iron-cladu/luringthe engage
ment, and sunk the next morning. • The dispropor
tion of guns between the attacking squadron and the
rebel batteries, is made most clearly manifest by this
fact. , . n .
The fire from the shore-was not only terribly
heavy, but most wonderfully accurate, lor, besides
striking the Keokuk nearly a' hundred times, the
slender smokestacks of the .monitors were , fre
quently hit; one completely riddled, as well as their
wheel houses, turrets, decks, and-the little portion
of their sides above the water. The Ironsides did
not steel* well in-the tide way, could not be easily
handled, and had to be anchored , twice duringthe--
hottest of the fire to avoid grounding, which was
narrowly escaped.
From the outer group of, torpedo 3, one of which
exploded near the Weehawlcen, and of the adjacent
obsl ructions on which the Patapsco hung for ten
. minutes, could be seen a line of buoys Btretching
from Sumpter to Sullivan Island,-and apparently
sustaining net*work and hawsers to foul screws,
and farther up a row of piles extending probably
from Fort Johnson to the middle ground.
To have ventured to enter among these obstacles
would have been to expose each and every vessel to
certain destruction. It was five o’clock in the after
noon, the reconnoissance had been made, and the
Admiral wisely withdrew his little fleet to its ancho
rage before dark, with certain ulterior intentions
lor the morrow, , that were not carried out, from
causes not necessary to be mentioned here.
Thus ended the first eßsay of iron-clads against
forts, rifled guns, torpedoes, and obstructions. Both
parties made the best use of their material.. The
rebel artillerists stood to their guns, and served them
well, and the Admiral, the' captains, the pilots, and.
the crews of the iron-clads, proved themselves quite
equal to this extraordinary occasion.
Let us hope that as this Is the simple truth, it will
be accepted as such by the country, and let us profit
by the experience thus gained; and learn how we
may close our ports to an enemy, even it he be iron
clad.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY AND
" » "WONDERFUL RESULTS ‘ ACCOMPLISHED BY
PROP. C. H. BOLLES, 1330 WALNUT Street.—The
difference “between /act and fictions, of permanently
curing the suffering of their disease, and advertising to
cure, and showing no better evidence than offering re
ference of some persons in far-off localities, can well be
appreciated by anxi'ous seekers after health, upon atten
tively reading the following -certificates or cases from
some of the most reliable gentlemen of Philadelphia, who
TlaO P wTSoTStreet 4 by «
Pacts are stubborn things, and as.evidence is required
for the establishment of all facts admitting of the least
doubt, and as the astouishing cures perfored by Prof
BOLLES are such as no other mau has ever performed in
this or any other city, it seems important in the present
case to offer some proof by way of certificates from some
of the most reliable gentlemen of this city, and more
because there are some in this city .who have the auda
cityto claim to treat according to Prof. BOLLES 7 dis
covery, and these same personsarereally ignoranto/ihe
; Positive or Negative Poles of any Electrical Machines, :
and therefore, Prof. BOLLES has cautioned the sick
against trusting their health in such reckless hands.
. Read the > following certificates of cures of most obsti
nate diseases lyPraf. Bolles, 1380 Walnut street,
Philadelphia.
The 'first cure was performed three years ago, and
continues well to this date : . -
- About nine years ago I had a severe attack of dyspeptic
symptoms, which increased on me during the whole
time, and I supposed, and also my physicians that
treated me, that my real disease was dyspepsia, and at
first was treated for that disease. My symptoms were at
first great hunger, and had and exhausted feeling in the
stomach, only when-Late often. Sometimes, however,
I experienced loss of appetite, ..very disagreeable nausea
In the stomach, pain in the epigastrum, heartburn, great
fullness about the stomach; and pain through the pyloric
region; a feeling sometimes of great weight in the sto
mach, collection of • acidity in the stomach, fetid
taste in the mouth. When the sense of hunger came
'on- as above described, I had a sense of fluttering
about the chest, and a sinking faint-feeling at the
Eit of the stomach,, which was, in my first attacks, re
eved only by taking food,-and many times inmy walks
through-the streets of Philadelphia, when these sinking
spells came on, I was obliged to call at some restaurant
and take food, hut this only relieved me for the present
time, and thus I suffered for years under the bestmedi
eal treatment in the. city. However, my physician, at
last pronounced my disease cancer infche stomach.- l
continued to be treated for what I was informed to be.
a cancer up to'the time that Professor Bolles came to
this city and advertised his important, discovery, in the
application of Galvanism and other modifications - of
Electricity, for the cure of (as he announced) acute and
chronic diseases, and more especially., cancers,- tumors,
white swelling, &c. I immediately called on Prof
Bolles, at 1220 Walnut street, for. advice,in my case. I
will here state that! considered my case a hopeless one,
but notwithstanding this, my hopes were'at once re--
vived, when Prof. B, frankly told me that he could
. cure file in a few days, and I am frank in saying that in
twelve or_ fourteen treatments I was perfectly cared.
This cure to me looks mysterious. And will ever appear
a wonder of wonders, but to Prof. B. all seemed cer
tain,'as he remarked at the commencement that he knew
fco a day how long it would take to produce a cure. .
lam certainof a permanent cure from the fact that
about two years have elapsed since my cure, and I have:
had no symptoms of return. I think Professor Bolles
-has made a very important discovery in the application
of Electricity for.the certain cure of acute ana chronic
-diseases, know of a great number ; of persons, whom he
has cured of the most obstinate diseases, both acute - ;and
chronic. I have watched his success for more thau two'
- years, and take pleasure in recommending his scientific
: discovery to sufiering humanity. I shall take pieasur -
In being referred to by the diseased. -
H. C. SHURTLEFF, ,
3783 MARKET Street.
The following -wonderful cure of Epilepsy was per
formed more than eight months ago and remains well
to this date. >
. Read the following attentively \ .
The following is a statement of facts fn reference to my
condition and astonishing cure of Epilepsy:
. For five years previous to my knowledge of Professor
C. H. Bolles’ discovery of the therapeutic administra
tion of Galvanism, Magnetism, and other modifications
' of Electricity for the cure of all acute and chronic
diseases,,l had been -severely afflicted wich Epileptic
Fits of the.most obdurate character, and had abandoned
all hopes of ever being cured,.as..l .had for.years tried
' the treatment and received the counsel of the most emi
nent Medical Men of the States, with the view of obtain
ing relief if any could be found among the Old Schools:
■.but all -my;efforts were unavailing, and, therefore, all.
hopes were abandoned, as I thenknew of no greater
skill for the cure of obstinate casea-:than;in tne-Old
Schools. -About six mouthb/ago mv. mind was turned
to investigate the new' discovery of .Prof. C. H. Bol
les, 3220 "Walnut street, and., after noticing several'
certificates of, cures which!.were, published," and some
from persons with, whom L was acquainted/ and
knew them to be reliable men, I was. induced to
«all on the'Professor, and obtain his opinion of my case.
After he had examined me about ten minutes, he frankly
Informed -me that he could cure me,- and offered to give
me a written warrantee of a completo cure, and in case
of a failnre to charge me nothing. This at first seemed
an impossibility; but ths frankness and earnestness of
the Professor convinced me of Ms scientific accuracy in
the diagnosis of my cash. He disclosed all my suffering,
and symptoms for five years past as well as X knew them
myself. I will here state, for thegood of humanity,
and especially those suffering as I was, that lam per-,
fectly cured. -I further would state that more than four,
months have elapsed since my cure, and I'have had no
symptoms, and, therefore, feel confident that I am cured.
I shall take pleasure in being referred to.at any time, by
any one suffering, as I was, And any information of my
condition previous to toy cure will be freely givento any
one at 1548 North THIRTEENTH Street, Wiladelphia.
