The Companies shall be made up from the following sources, viz; First. By taking those officers and enlisted men of commands now in the field (whether actually present or temporarily absent) who, from wounds received iu ac tion or disease contracted in the line of duty, are unfit for field service, but are still capable of effective garrison duty, or such other light duty as may be required of an Invalid Corps. Regimental Commanders shall at once make out, from information received from their Medical and Company Officers," and from their ownknowledge, rolls (according to the Form furnished) of the names of all the officers and. enlisted men under their commands who fulfill the following conditions, viz: - -1. That they are unfit for active field service ,on ac count of wounds or disease contracted in the line of duty; this fact being certified by a Medical Officer in the ser vice, after personal examination. - , ', 2. That they are fit for garrison duty; this fact being likewise certified by the Medical Officer, as above, after personal examination. 3.

J New York, May 19, 1863, A NORTHERN REVOLUTION, looking to the impeachment of the President by the next Congress, and the establishment of a lawless dictatorship, is being systematically organized and worked-up in thiß State and city by a strong body of political desperadoes who are - neither afraid nor ashamed to avow their designs. Either these men mußt be summarily dealt with by the Government before it attempts to adopt or put in force any new war measure, of it wiUfinally be compelled to resort to martial law and the bayonet to Beeure any obedi ence or attention whatever to its authority. You Philadelphians can have- no idea of the extent which the infatuation of treason has reached in New York; for with you, the utterance.of treason is chiefly confined to a few paid emissaries of the rebels from other States, and to two or three insignificant and uninfluential sheets. With us, however, the chief officers of the* State and the ‘party officially controlling both State and city, are the, movers in the infamous busi ness; and their journalistic organs include about half the established press of New York. They grow bolder every day,As they believe themselves to be growing stronger, and since Governor Seymourgave them public assurance of Mb full’ sympathy and co operation with them in his insolently-mutinous let ter to the directors of the recent vYallaudigham, meeting at Albany, they have been more audacious than ever. At the mass meeting in Union Square* last night, at least five thousand of the most despe rate characters of the town were openly incited to violence and bloodshed by speakers of their own class appointed for the purpose. One or two“spe*' cimenfrof the speeches delivered there, will serve to shew what I mean.". There was McMasters, of the notorious Freeman's Journal, a man who has been* in Port Lafayette, and should be there still. Talking to the excited mobocrata around him about'" saving their liberties,” he asked: “And how were they to save their liberties? [A voice— * Fight for it.’] Yes, if necessary, fight for it j but not in a disorderly fight; for if you were to punish those who first ruined you, there will be other masters to take their places. But you must act-by organization; organize not in wards, for wards are too large. Organize in your neighborhoods ~ .by tens, by hundreds, and by companies, 'arid by regi ments,And then send to your Governor for war com missions when your regiments are organized. This is your right (though Federal power has attempted to infringe it in Indiana and Ohio) to bear arms. It is the sacred and inalienable right of freemen in America. It is written in the Constitution of the- United States, and the Constitution of the States say, too, that you shall have the right, to bear arms, not for the Union,but for the State. Then it was their duty to prepare themselves;orderly and firmlyto preserve, under their gallant leader, Governor Sey mour, their liberties and the liberties of their State. [Cheers.] . ‘ ; Another speaker said that “Cccsar had had his Brutus, that Charles I. had had his Cromwell, and the George 111,-of the present day might profit by their example. He would ask his hearer if he had three hundred dollars in his pocket. [Voices —‘ No, no.’] Then they would have to go to war [‘No, no’] while their employer in Fifth avenue, who had three hundred dollars, could remain. Would we have such refusals to go to war, if this war was for the Constitution? [‘No, no,’] But when the Presi dent-called upon them to. go and carry on-a.war for the nigger, he would be-d—d if he believed-they would.go. [Voices —‘You may bet your life we won't.’ ”] ■' ' -•And thus is the mob of this ciiy being taught to believe that it has a constitutional right to do just exactly what'the Southerners are now doing. It is not hard to anticipate just what the result will be. At the first attempt to draft, here, the streets will swarm with an armed and ferocious mob; if Go vernment requires Governor Seymour to order out. the military of the State, for the suppression of riot, the Governor will peremptorily refuse to do so. Then; probably, we shall have a‘declaration of mar tial law, and a force of United States troops sent, from .Governor’s Island, by General Wool, to put down.' the revolt; these troops will be at once op posed by the State militia, under orders from Sey mour, and then ! -All this maybe avoided by some decisive action on the part of the Government now. THE HON. BEN "WOOD has his Daily Neivs in full blast once more, and preacheß treason by the column. One of his edito rials to-day, however, contains .a sentence which I cannot help approving, viz.: “It is amusing to hear men, who favor the prosecution of the war, affect indignation at the arrest of Mr. Yallandigham ” The Honorable Benjamin partially exonerates the .Administration from the shocking charge of sup pressing the Neivs twenty months ago, and intimates that the real criminal whb Secretary. Cameron. Speaking of the arrest of Yallandigham, it is worthy of note that the World of to-day indulges in virulent double-leaded leader on the subject of the sentence passed upon that traitor, and demands of the President his immediate and unconditional re lease. Oh, for another deluge! > < MATTERS GENERAI/LY '■' • - • - arc not very exciting to-day. Gen. Ward B. Bur-, nett has an appointment from Washington to nize the troops of the State of New York, now being formed under the Governor, for service in the field.” You may be able to understand this better than I do. The Italian Opera has collapsed, and we shall have no more for some two months to come. The season has been highly unprofitable to Maretzek, who was very foolish to resume it at such an unfa vorable time of year, and without a good leading prima donna. Madame Medori returns in Septem ber from Europe, and there wiil then be morechance of success. Rear Admiral Paulding, commanding at this station, has paid a formal visit, in full uniform, to' the' French frigate Guerriere, in the bay, being received with a.salute of fifteen guns and any quan tity of civilities. is magnificent, the mercury ascending, and gold steady. * CITY OF BOSTON [Special Correspondence of The Press. ] For three weeks, until yesterday, we have groaned . under cloudy skies and dripping umbrellas ; for only a single day since the first of May have the clouds consented to let us see the sun unveiled} and even, now there is only a cort of compromise between fair weather and foul, for the wind still blows from the East, and the East iB not to us the land of poetry and rong, but only the home of all the demons of storm and mist, and of. codfish and lobsters, which cannot be' called poetical. The grass has tried to grow, and really looks green ; but the trees have not yet succeeded in leaving the barrenness of their’ wintry aspect, and only a very venturesome and really hardy apple tree thinks of being in blossom. Even salmon and shad haye felt the depressing influ ence of the rainy weather, and respectfully decline being caught. The City, Fathers seem to have feared there was to be nothing but gales and storm through the summer, and have sold the yacht Una, which has been the pet of the last three city govern ments, and served very much to make pleasant the heated portion of their, term of office. She only brought $1,500, notwithstanding she cost nearly ten times that, and was a favorite model of Steers’, of •New York; who built her. It is to be hoped the offi cials will turn their energies now to the completion of the new City Hall, a project of the last adminis tration, and, consequently, allowed to languish now, while those having business with the^various branches of the city government have to go all over the city to accomplish what should occupy only a few minutes. The old City Ilall is fairly among the things that were, and the old Hancock House, on. Beacon street, will soon follow, the land on which it stands having passed-into tlie hands of private parties, who will erect new dwellinga;on the spot, while the old mansion.will be taken down, and re erected on some prominent spot in the suburbs. To those who love the- antique and picturesque, the change hardly seems an improvement; for the old house iB the centre of many-a pleasant association connected with the old colonial times, andits quaiiit ness, and pleasant situation among lilacs and roses, would endear the spot to one unacquainted with its history. Excitement over the movements v of the. Army .of the Potomac has almost entirely died away, and there only remains the firm feeling that, more than ever, the South must be made to yield. Recruiting is nearly at a stand-still except for cavalry and for the negro regiment; the latter is full' and almost ready to leave for the South, the Governor having, presented them with their colors, and. the officers: being all appointed. Another regiment will be im mediately organized when this one. leaves, .and ar rangements are made so that it is expected the janlcs will be filled within two or three weeks from the opening of the rolls. At the navy yard the greatest activity prevails, over three thousand ;men being employed. Some half new and old, are nearly ready for sea. It is at length de cided that the Ohio shall be thoroughly repaired, partially iron-plated and stationed at such a point aa to command the entrance to the harbor, while additional defence along the shore will be at the same time provided for. - v The number of young men gone to the war very muchjinterferes with boating this season,'as many of them were important members of our best clubs. Two regatta’s are, however, decided on, one for .Tune 17, for the Beacon cup, while the regular re gatta, under the direction of the city government, will take place on July 4. It is also understood that the Harvard College boatmen have sent a challenge to Yale for a match to be pulled early in the summer. The Athcnseum-GaUery exhibition is again open, with Eome new pictures, and many of the old ones, including the neveMailing unfinished canvas of Allston’s Belshazzar’s Feast. vThe change in. the sculpture gallery is almost imperceptible, being con fined to a change of arrangement of the old subjects. TheAthenreum, asa whole, is in a very flourishing condition, having plenty of money and spending it judiciously. Gottschaik has been here the past week.giving three concerts, which were well attended. Camilla Urso announces a farewell concert, after which she goes to London. The Florences have drawn fair houses at the Boston Theatre. The pleasaateafc theatrical entertainments of the season were those given at the New Tremont, last week, by Paul Juignet’s French Troupe. The actors are all oare ful and pleasing, and the thea’ae was decorated with growing plants and bloohiiag flowers, giving the cosy little hall more appearance of a gentle ms n’e private proper/cy than of a public theatre.

PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1863. An Ambuscade—A Fatal Mistake—Foster’s Expedition Completely Successful—The Dismal Swamp Canal. [Special Correspondence of ThePress.O Fortress Monroe, May 19, 1863.‘ An ambuscade was skilfully laid lor a" party (two companies) of the Ist New York Mounted Rifles, Col, Bodge, as they were scouting on the Providence Church road, near Suffolk. A regiment of rebel cavalry, coming from the neighborhood of Smith field, concealedthemßelves in the woods and allowed the scouts to pasß into their centre, when they charged them, severely wounding Major Patton, and capturing some thirty-two of the Mounted Rifles. This unfortunate surprise occurred yester day morning. Later in the day the bodies of three of the men who had been slain were'brought in. The rebels had stripped them- of all their clothing from boots to cap. Such savage barbarity should not be allowed to pass unnoticed, nor be long un punished. ’ There is a report of a still more melancholy nature from Suffolk. It is rumored that two of our regi ments, (I will mention none particularly, lest rela tives should be made uneasy, without cause,) were marching along, different roads, and as they neared the point wherje they converged’in the shape of 1 an acute saw the gleaming of each other’s musketß over the intervening strip of brush, and precipitately fired on each other. Very few killed and wounded. The object of the expedition sent from Suffolk, under command of Acting Brigadier General Foster, has proved completely successful. The undertaking was one of importance, and re quited great skill and firmness, to bring it so quickly and successfully to a close. Dr, Harlan, who was appointed acting medical director, in place or Br. Hand, captured by the rebels, on Bl&ckwatcr road, was himself taken bj the same roving band of gue rillas. Albo, another surgeon was reported taken prisoner, as he waß returning from Oarsvilleto Suf folk, - last night. Br. Hand has at last been heard from. He is now a prisoner, at Franklin, as was conclusively presumed. No further depredations have been committed on the Dismal Swamp Canal, running from Norfolk to Curratuck Sound. As soon as it was known the schooner laden with corn had been; destroyed, a de* tachment ,of infantry, some cavalry, and a few pieces of artillery, were .sent there to chastise the -audacious 'guerillas. I understand this l-oute has been freely used to smuggle,, stores to the rebels. Thousands of dollars’ worth of provisions have been shipped by this route, and the rebels have hereto fore looked very favorably upon the two Govern ..ment-boats-which-used to ply between Norfolk and Ncwbein. It is incomprehensible to me why the guerillas should-have taken these boats. .Bid they think the telegram from 4 North Carolina, which showed how a young Secession widow grew sud denly rich, would injure their profits? • The correspondence of the Tribune contains a vin dication of the llth Corps, from which we extract the following : The line of battle taken by the 11th Corps was formed early. and kept during the day. It was a long, weak line, that might have been pierced at almost any point ; and, making it still feebler. one brigade was detached to pursue the retreating (?) rebels ! No advantage of ground was gained by thus extending it. Rifle-pits had' been dug along'the front, affording'our tro.ops large measure of safety while'firing upon the enemy, tempting to sweep over.the open field before; them. Meanwhile the rebels were busy trying our line, in order to seize upon and profit by its weak points.. About noon it became quite evident , they had made \ their decision, for large bodies were distinctly seen" passing along the Kathanpin road-in the direction of our right flank. This road branches off from the plank road, eight m iles from Fredericksburg, at a place called Deckers. At Ford’s tavern,' four miles from Deckers, it receives Brock’s road,-running almost at right angles with it, and intersecting the: plank road and the old turnpike. (A glance at any one of the published maps or diagram's ofthelate fight will show the great facility these roadways' gave for massing forces upon our right). - Their course and relation to each other ought to have sug gested the probability of the movement, and caused such a disposition of forces as would have enabled ,ub to meet it promptly and effectually. But .the wisest men seem fated to seasons of stupidity. The commander of the Ist Division was not even aware of the existence-of the roads, or the topo graphy of the locality. '"When aßked by.one of his ablest regimental commanders, “Do- you know where you are?” he answered “No ; I don’t know as Ido !” “Do you know anything of the roads of this lection?”\“No.”‘ _ - \ - : ; f;- Tbis same regimental officer then went toan-old resident “ Yankee "clock pedler,”/arid got a descrip tion of them, and then made a rough: diagramyand biought it to. his undisturbed general I But e%en after this he failed to appreciate - the significance of -these numerous roads as a channel for the rapid movements of troops. The day wore idly away with us while the rebels were perfecting Jheir pifins. At about, 2P. M. } Captain Santer, Co. B, 55th Qhio, out on picket, sent in his first sergeant witHsWord -that the enemy were massing on the extreme-- . right with infantry-and artillery. Subsequently scouts from thq2sth Ohio brought thegeneraluntel ligence that the enemy were in full force upon.our right. After a while a cavalry officer 'camevdaah ing down the road announcing that the criemtf were in force on.our right with artillery!. .Thes&JhTice .repeated ought to have rouße*pft» most lethargic, .keeper of -such, holy; interests • a*- were they fell upon ears that heeded ; them not! No front was ordered, No_ adequate obstructions were r . placed in the way of the V advnhcing hosts. The as-' tilleryall remained in its former position, ready ttfv repel only a front attack—the front and flank skir mishers had not even a line of communication with each other I Such was the position of affairs with the Ist Division, occupying the extreme right. No. wonder the fear became general and painfully %vi-,' dent to every subordinate officer thafour flank waSv being turned. At 6 P. M., the. attack commenced without pre monition. No mounted sentinel came galloping up. with the news, but very little picket firing heralded it. The first note of warning that the shock had ■? come was the shock itself! A tremendous volley of musketry, immediately followed by a deluge of grape and canister, and the rebels were upon us in over whelming numbers in three concentric columns. One was moving down the turnpike, one down Brock’s road, and the other farther to the left’, and,' as their prisoners stated, in full brigade liue and forty deep, while a section of their artillery was brdught up to a position in the road commanding our line, which'it swept. What coula 4,000 men do with 30,000? Their flank and rear being entirely exposed to its foes, and their--> position enfiladed at that. But now surely, after, this surprise in the rear, they will change front;: common sense demands that, and military science may well blush in shame if it be not instantly done, ’ The commander of the 55th Ohio, casting his eye upon ; the right, detects it completely flanked. Putting to his horse, be hastens to the division commander* and shouts, “Our right is turned; may I change front?” “No;” is the reply. In a moment-he is with his regiment again, and, seeing his right giving _ way, he flies to his general a second time. “The; right is breaking, and no enemy in front of us; .may I not change front, and at them in our rear?” “ No,” was .the gruff reply ; and thus soldiers who . never yet had failed to do their duty, and whom Napoleon’ would have deemed worthy a place in the .“ Old Guard,” were left in the. trenches' under an enfilading fire of grape and canister, and unable -to discharge' a musket directly or obliquely at their foes, who were sweeping them down. When called off at last, without command of any general officer, they broke by files and companies, but reformed be hind the gallant 25th Ohio. I cite the 55th, not that they did better than others, but to show the consum mate skill; with which the division was handled. The 75th and 25th Ohio regiments acquitted them selves like men who had a country and honor to de-. fend, while the ljth Connecticut, although under fire for the first time, equaled the most veteran in splendid conduct. The loss in McLean’s brigade is very great, both in the ranks and in-field officers. The noble Riley is dead. The heroic Richardson; is dangerously wounded. The brave and undaunted- Noble, faint from loss of blood, leaves the field to his gallant lieutenant colonel, Walter, who gave up his life in the very act of entreating his men to stand fast by the flag of the country of his adoption and of his love. ; S TUYVES A.NT.

At a military commission, which convened at Cincinnati, Ohio, on the 6th day of May, 1863, pur suant to Special Orders, No. 135, of April 21, 1863, current series, from these headquarters, and of which Brigadier General: Robert B. Potter, United States Volunteers, is president, was arraigned and tried Clement L. Vallandigham, a citizen of the.

Specification—ln this, that the said Clement L.

CFrom the Richmond Examiner, May 14.1 - All the poor honors that Virginia, sorely troubled and pressed hard, could afford her most glorious and beloved son, having been, offered to his mortal part in this, capital, the funeral cortege of the famous Jackson left it yesterday morning, on the Jong road to “ Lexington, l in the Valley of Virginia.” It was the laat wish of thedead man to be buried there, . amid the. scenes familiar to his eyes through the years: of-his manhood,'obscure and unrecorded, but, • perhaps, filled with recollections to him not less-affecting than those unconnected with the brief, but crowded period passed upon a grander stage. This .-desire, expressed at Buch a time, demanded aiid has received unhesitating com pliance. Yet many regret, -that his 'remains SI- not. .rest in.- another spot. Near this city t.hill.crbjvnedJ^y.secular oaks,,-washed by.the terfT ia great in the State’s “history from the days of Elizabeth to the present Hour, which has been well selected as the place of national honor for the illustrious dead of Virginia. There sleep Monroe and Tyler. We. . haveneither a Westminster nor a Pantheon, but all would wish to see the best that we could givecon ferred on Jackson, Hereafter Virginia will build for him a stately. tomb and strike a medal to secure the memory of His name beyond the reach of acci- M dent, if accident were possible. But it is not possi ■ ble; nor iB a monument- necessary to cause the story of this'man’s life'to last when bronze shall have corroded and marble crumbled; . Then, after sketching his career in the United States army, the Examiner notes some incidents which transpired while he was a professor in the Virginia Military Institute, as follows : His services were nbt conspicuous here; Colonel Gilham was considered as the military genius of the school, and Thomas Jackson was but little thought of by the small hero-worshippers of Lexington. The cadets had but little partiality for the taciturn, praying professor. He was stern in the performance of his duty. At one time his life was threatened by a cadet, dismissed from the Institute, the wild boy actually going to the extremity .of lying in wait for him, on the road leadingfrom the.lnstitute to the village. As Jackson, in his accustomed walk to ward the village, approached-the spot where his enemy awaited him, a bystander 1 called out to him of-his.danger. “ Let the assassin murder, if he will,” .replied the Professor, as he walked, in the most un concerned manner, toward the young man, who slunk abashed from his path.' Perhaps none of the acquaintances of Jackson were-more-surprised at his brilliant exhibition of genius in this war than those who knew his blank lifer at the Institute, and were familiar with the stiff and uninteresting figure that was to beseen every Sunday in-a pew of the Presbyterian; Church .at Lexington. But true genius awaitß occasion com mensurate with its power and aspiration. : The spirit of Jackson was trained in another Bchool than that of West Point or Lexington, and, had it been confined there, it never would have illuminated the •page of history. In the early periods of the war, Jackson, commis sioned colonel by the Governor of Virginia, was at tached to General Johnston’s command on the Up per Potomac. At Falling Waters, on the 2d of July, 1861, he engaged the advance of Patterson,.and gave the Yankees one of the first exemplifications oi his .ready-witted strategy,: as Patterson never knew that, for several hours, he was fighting an insignifi cant force, skilfully disposed to conceal their weak ness, while Johnston was making his dispositions in .the rear. t : : 1 - . The first conspicuous services of Jackson in this war were rendered at Manassas, in 1861; although the murks of active determination he had shown on the Upper Potomac, and the affair of Falling Waters, had already secured to him promotion to a origadier generalship.. The writer recollects some paragraphs in a Southern newspaper expressing great merri ment at the first apparition of the future hero on the battle-field.- His r queer figure oh horsebaok, and the habit of settling his chin in his stock, were very amusing to. spme correspondents, who made a flip pant jest in some of the Southern newspapers of the military specimen of the Old Dominion. The jest is forgiven and forgotten in.the, tributes of admira tion and love which were to ensue to the popular hero of the war. Jackson spoke his first, immortal; words at Manassas, when he stayed the retreat of our forces jußt as it verged on irretrievable disaster. : “ They are beating us back,?’ said another general. “No, sir,’’^repliedJackson, as his eyes .blazed with a victorio'Uß courage. “We’ll give them, the bayonet.” 1 The expedition to Winchester, the operations in Shenandoah Valley, when Banks was driven back,' and the part which he took In the campaign against Pope, are in detail, and the writer con cludes as'follows :v . “ The.participation of Jackson in the campaignof ‘ Maryland ainl that; of the Rappahannock shared their glory, but without occasion for observation on those distinct; and independent movements which were his forte, and for the display of which he had room iii the Valley campaign; and thatagainstPope. The manner of his death, on the field of Chancellor ville, haß already been related. He bore his wounds* and the pain of his disease without a murmur, and among the. low,’intelligible words of the noble suf ferer, were, the recognition ~of the hand of Godin hia destiny, and the remark that even his wounds were ‘a[blessing he would not part with, 1 since - Providence must nave giyen them’ forßome wise and good purpose. 11 Finally his mind wandered back, in the delirium of approaching dissolution, to the scenes, of the battle. He again gave the word of command, ut tered words of encouragement to regiments stag - gering under fire, ordered his commissary to hasten on with needful food to exhausted troops. Almost -the last sentence was the order he had so often given in-life : ‘A. P. Hill, prepare for action.’ ‘‘Theaccounts given of Gen. Jackson’s appear ance are varied. Many could see nothing great in his form or face. But those are they who hold to . the, stage idea of a hero. Jaokson’s face wa3 hot ca daverous; he did not roll his eyes about, nor wear long, greasy, black curls over his shoulders. But. experienced observers of men do not hesitate to de clare that.they have recognized him among a crowd of other officers as the only man there who could be Jackson. He was a muscular man, six feet high, of a!clear white complexion, blue gray eyes, sharp aquiline nose, a prominent chin, set on a powerful and well-curved jaw-- The skull was magnificent in size and shape: the forehead both broad And high, and balanced by a long, deep mass behind and above ■ the ear.” / ' . - ALARM IN MISSISSIPPI GOV.

JOHN J. PETTUS, Governor of Mississippi. Kotices of New Books. Stanley’s, " Lectures on the History of the Jewish Church,” of which the first part, including from Abraham to Saul, has been republished by Mr. Charles New Yerk, in a splendid Bvo. volume of 612 pageß, is one of the most valuable ad ditions to Biblical history that has yet appeared. The Eev. Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, its author, who will probably be made a bishop in the Church of England, on one of the earliest vacancies, was born in 1816, and is eon of the late Bishop of Nor wich, nephew of the first, and cousin of the second Lord Stanley of Alderley, one of the Palmerston Cabinet. Educated at Kugby School, byJDr. Thomas Arnold, young Stanley graduated at Oxford, in 1838, became a scholar of Balliot College in 1839, and a Fellow and Tutor of University College in 1841. His first works were biographical, viz.: “ Life and Cor** respondence of Dr. Arnold,” and "Memoir of Bishop Stanley,” He then published sermons, and a " Commentary onSt.Paul’a Epistles to the Co rinthians.” In 1851 he was appointed one of the Canonß of Canterbury. After this appeared* - his " Sinai and Palestine, in Connexion with their His tory,” which was republished in New York, and "Historical Memorials of Canterbury.” In 1856 he wasappointed Pegiua Professor of Ecclesiastical His tory in the University, and still more recently, Canon of Christ Church, which is a richly,endowed office. ‘‘Three. Introductory Lectures on the Study of Ecclesiastical History,” showed his capability for hiß new office. As a chaplain to Q,ueen Victoria, Dr.' Stanley haß been a frequent visitor at Windsor, and when the Prince of Wales visited the Holy Land, last year, Dr. Stanley accompanied him. The new volume, on the History of the Hebrew Church, consists of lectures which he had addressed to his usual hearers, at Oxford, chiefly candidates for Holy Orders: the twentieth (on the nature of the pro phetic teaching) was preached as a sermon from the University pulpit. The author affirms that the work is to be regarded, not as a Hitstory, but as Lec tures. We grant that it is more familiar (and per haps all the better for that) than a regular history, and perhaps a trifle more desultory, but it is essen tially historical. The work is strictly ecclesiastical, for it treats only of the Jewish Churchy and its ma- 1 terials are drawn from the Bible, a book sacred to Christianas to Jew. The book first treats, in an Introduction, of the three stages of the history of the Jewish Church—the Patriarchal, the Monarchical, and the Captivity. The work will be completed in three volumes, of which the first, now before U 3, disposes of the Patriarchal period and of the Monarchical down .to Samuel. The main au thorities : are the Canonical Books of the Bible, glimpses of the Lost Books, such >id as the Sepfcu agint text supplies, certain heathen traditions, East ern traditions, and the four works of Josephus. The narrative is clear all through; the time, prophecies, and life of Samuel, are especially well illustrated. An appendix refers to the traditional localities of Abraham’s migration (Dr. Stanley visited the Place of Abraham, at Birzch, near Damascus, in 1862) j contains, a description of Dr. A.’s visit, with the Prince of Wales, to the Cave of Machpelan, covered by the‘mosque' 1 at Hebron, which the Prince was allowed to enter by most extreme and unusual cour tesy ; thirdly, it gives a graphic account of the cele bration of the Samaritan Passover, on Mount G-eri zim, by the one hundred and fifty-two Samarians who live near the summit of the mountain—a tradition ary celebration, which Dr. Stanley also witnessed last year, and which is usually hot shown to stran gers. The general character of his book may be summed up: It really teaches, without verbosity, ostentatious display of learning, or absurd diver gence from fact and argument into .didactic commen tary or exhortation. It is a hook produced by a full mind. We must compliment Mr. Scribner on the excellence of its typographical execution, which surpasses that of the English edition.' Thereare maps of the migrations of Abraham and of Palestine before the Conquest, and plans of the mosque at He- - bron,f Noel Paton’s sculpturesque picture of Barthram’s Dirge, and of T. Allom’s View of Philadelphia, one of the Seven Churches of Asia. The Turner, in the National Gallery at London, is one of the great maiter’s finest pictures. Jewett’s account of Chelsea China, Professor Ansted’s Becohd paper on Science and Art, and the continuation of Wright’s amusing History of Caricature and of the Grotesque in Art, are "articles of merit and interest. But, indeed, the whole publication is good.
