New Publications.
The new cumber of the Quarterly Bcview, (repub
lished in New York end received from W- B. Zie
ber, South nurd street), contains the long and able
article on the Danish Duchies, which we noticed
yesterday. There also are papers upon the past,
present, and future of China, ‘'New Englanders
and the Old Home,” being notices of Emerson s
and Hawthorne’s boohs on England and of Dr.
Holmeß’ famous - Autocrat of the Breakfast Table,»
and a very full review of Captain Speke’s “Jour
nal of the Discovery of ihe Source of the Nile,”
The reviewer doubts whether the great geographical
enigma of ages has yet been satisfactorily solved,
in fact, though it ba» been shown thatthe Nile nows
out of the Victoria Nyanzs Hake, there yet remains
to be explored the largest of the rivers which feed
that collection of waters. There is an emuiing ar
ticle, semi-scientific, upon “ Eels,” and a disqu e-
Mon upon ** Sons and Pistes.” Here, too, is a good
account of “Home in the Middle Age*’ ««> best
part of which ie a comparison of the o
“ it , i *J i ' h 1,,e “ *’ p r 7”dlDg this is an analysis of
the^ofofce’ro‘by William Foreyth, an English
jult published. The book muet possess great
merit for i’s accuracy and fulness are apparent even
the account here given of it. A perußal of the
wholo or Conyers Middleton’a Life of Cicero will
convey less to ,he mind, respecting the greatest ora
tor and philosopher of the Homan Empire, than the
summary here given of Mr. Forsyth’s book. Cicero
wae one of the greatest Homans—yet of him re
mains no genuine statue, bust, or coin! What sha
dows we are, and what shadows we pursue.
Forsyth’s Life or Cicero, which supplies a great
want in Roman biography, (for Middleton too much
excuses, while Drumann too much aocuses the great
orator,) will, doubtless, be republished here. In it
will be found a great deal to explain Cicero’s rela
tions with Julius Cffiiar. Now that Louis Nape
leon has himself undertaken to write the biography
of Ceesar, (to he published, we predict, about the
year 1900— if then), the attention of scholars, poll*
Hcians, and soldiers has latterly been drawn to the
real founder of the Homan Empire. Those who de
cline waiting for the Imperial but remote biography
may contest themselves, now, with Merlvale’s
si Hietoiy of the Homans under the Empire,” which
takes in what occurred from the period of the first
Triumvirate to the period of the transfer of the seat
of Empire from Home to Constantinople. It eon
aists of seven volumes, now in course of republica
tion here by D, Appleton & Co., New York, from
the fifth London edition. Two of these have ap
peered, giving the history of the Homans from
Sulla's death to the assassination of Ceesar, on the
Idea of March, A. TJ. 109-710, which is B. C. 45-it.
In these two volumes is the full and trne history of
Caesar. His public csreeric traced very closely, and
hie private Hie as fully developed. This is the best
account of Caesar yet written, and not even the Em
peror Napoleon’s, if it ever appear, is likely to equal
it. The work can be procured from Mr. Simons, 33
South Sixth street.
Horace said that the stomaoh was the true 11 ma
gister artlum,” and he was right. If people mutt
feed te support nature, they may as well have their
food properly oooked and served. Somebody who
taw Dr. Johnson eating heartily of come delicacy,
rudely observed: “I perceive that, after all, pMlosoj
phera enjoy good living as much as other people.’
The Doctor looked angrily at him, and grumbled
out the rational retort—“Do you think that God
made the good things for>o7» only V’ A clevermaga
ziner might easily write an agreeable and Instruct
ive article upon “Cookery, Ancient and Modern.”
The Greek and Latin writers could give him a great
deal on the early history of the subjeot, and there ic
pot a country in Europe that has not a cookery book
of its own. We possess one in English, printed in the
time of Shakspeare. Within our own experience is
the oookery book of Mrs. Eundell (which enjoyed
a popularity equal to that of “Ohilde Harold,”
when it appeared simultaneourly with that poem,)
and Mrs. Glass, Dr. Kitchener, Miss Acton, M.
Jarrin, M. Tide, M. Francatelh, M. Soyer, Miss
Leslie, Mrs. Widdifield, and others, have written
on the cuisine with equal ability, success, and profit.
The very latest work of this class that we have seen
Is a 12mo. volume, pp. 060, entitled “ What to Eat,
and How to Cook it.” The author is Pierre Biot,
late' editor or the Almanac Gastronomique, of Paris.
The publishers are Messrs. Appleton, New York.
The merit of the book Is that it is praotioaL It also
is economical, simple, and comprehensive, contain
ing over a thousand receipts, with particular in
structions how to prepare and serve not only the
regular dinner, hut also breakfast and snpper. It
also is well indexed, a great advantage in such a
hook of reference.
There is a short article on “ The Stomach and
Civilization,” by F. L. Sarmiento, of this city, in
the current number of Harper's Magazine, which
touches generally upon the practice of gastronomy,
Horn the earliest time to the present. The writer
sets up English and depreciates Americsn cookery
rather too much. In plain roasted and boiled meats
the English are unequalled (one’s mouth waters at
the thought of a boiled leg of Southdown with
turnips and caper sauce), but beyond this and plain
puddings, John Bull must yield the palm to Brother
Jonathan. Mr. Sarmiento says that the Homans
held eels very cheap:—but the Quarterly Beview, in
its elaborate article on Eels (noticed above), says,
and shows, that “ the ancient Greeks carried their
partiality for the eel to a most ridiculous excess,”
and adds, “ They were kept by the Homans In their
fish ponds (vivaria), ready at hand for the table when
required.” Pliny mentions what an immense
quantity of eels were consumed is his time. The
article, in which many curious facts are collected,
is suggestive and amusing.
In country, although Evchre and Poker have
hocta of proficients, the good, old, and truly scienti
fic game of Whist still has many admirers, for
them, and for the rising generation of card-players,
Messrs. Appleton have published a neat little hand
book, in blue and gold, entitled “ Laws and Prac
tice of Whist, by Cavendish,” which is now the
authority upon Whist, as Hoyle was, a century ago,
in the London clubs. It is the best Whlst-book
ever printed, giving a reason for everything.
We have the Dental Cosmos for March, in which
the most noticeable original papers are Practical
Uinta, by Dr. J. D. White 5 Hydrostatic Blow-pipe,
by Dr. O. A. Kingsbury; Dental Suggestions, by
John D. Wingate, Bellefonte; The Strange Case o'
a Ruminating Man, b; Charles £. Davis, New Bed*
jOrd j Teaching, by Dr. J. Poster Flagg, and Inflam
mation, by Dr. W. H. Atkinson. We may notice,
also, Dr. Qeo. W. Ellis’s paper on “ Nervous Affec
tions originating Horn Dental Dlaeace,” and the dia
cussion upon it, in the Odontographic Sooiety,
The third number of the Philadelphia Photographer,
published by Benerman & Wilson, has just appeared,
The contents are original, for the most part, includ
ing a letter on the literary and judicial application
of Photography, by Edward Everett. The illuaira
tion la an orginal view of scenery near Flat Rock,
Schuylkill, photographed by Wendell Taylor, We
agree with Mr. Wenderoth, in his notice of its pic
ture, that, beautiful aa it is, it would have been im
proved by cutting out the centre vertically instead
of horizontally, so as to give a lull view of the
tree in front. We do not detect the solarized spot
or “ghost” in the centre, which Mr. Wenderoth
notices. No doubt Photographers’ observation is
more exact and minute, from practice, than that
of ordinary persons possibly can be.
Mr. Carleton, New Fork, has sent us, through
Peterson & Brothers, two new books. One is the
reprint of a work by an English author, entitled.
•> Tales bom the Operas,” being, in faot, the librettos
of about a dozen operas turned into prose tales.
Tbe other is “The Art of Conversation, with Di
rections for Self-Education,” and is one of the most
agreeable—because sensible and well written
works of the kind we have ever read. This is an
original book. Under the head “ Self-Education’
it gives a catalogue raisonnd of the books which
may he advantageously read and studied by those
who desire to obtain information on various sub
jects. The closing chapter, “On Vulgarisms in
Conversation,” gives a pretty full list of English
and American vulgarisms. Many of these arc made
by using noun-substantives as verbs, such as to ad
vantage, for to profit. Such familiar contractions as
oint, Instead of sc not or am not, are properly com
damned. Forever, instead of for ever, is also on this
blacklist. The New England feel of it is not men
tioned here; nor the use of hop instead of dances nor
thatmiienble skedaddle, Instead of ran away. The
book will do good, and deceives to have a large
circulation.

freon, and instead of having set speeches, there were
fivMninute speeches made to show the value of Sun
<lay*sohool instruction. It was a meeting of great
Interest.
The Conference was opened this morning in the
usual way by J. Hugg. Various resolutions were
presented and adopted. The Conference then pro*
•seeded to consider who shall be admitted to mem
bership on trial in the Conference. Edson W.
SursfSamuel H. Assy, Edmund Hewitt, Armanius
Eawrenee, Samuel S. Weatherby, George W, Dob
bins, D. G. Knowles were admitted. <3t, W.
Nicholson was recommended, but his loyalty be
ing called in question, bis esse was referred to a
committee, who, after a free conference, reported
that there was just causefto suspect his loyalty some
time ago, but that his views recently changed en
tirely, and be was cheerfully admitted.
Alter the usual resolutions of thanks the Bishop
announced the appointments and the Conference
adjourned. The fields of labors for the members of
Conference for the coming year are as follows:

The Board of School Controllers.—
A stated meeting of this Board was held yesterday
afternoon. , , ,
A communication was received from the Eighth
section, requesting authority to form new division*
in the secondary schools for boys and girls, and to
appoint teachers to the same; one from the Four
teenth section, requesting the erection of 11 head
assistants” in grammar schools of four or more
divisions, whose duty it shall be to assist in the
teaching of the drat division; one from the Nine
teenth, recommending the sale of the Franklia
School-house, on America street, above Columbia
avenue, to that a new building may be erected out
of the proceeds; also, informing the Board of the
opening of a fifth division in the Witte School
house. The communications were referred.
The Committee on Aooounts reported bills amount
ing to SI3S 614 97, which were ordered to be paid.
The same oommittee made a special report with
holding their approval of the bill for the salaries of
such teachers as have been appointed since January.
This was done in consequence of the refusal of the
Directors of the 26th section to transmit to the
Board -the names of such teachers appointed since
January who do not hold proper certificates. Agreed
to.
The Committee on Text Books reported a resolu
tion authorizing the introduction into the public
schools of Brooks’ Arithmetic and Key. Agreed to.
Mr. Shippen, from the special committee appoint
ed to investigate the maimer in which the late ex
amination of the Girls’ High School was held, made
a verbal report He stated that the Investigation
occupied much time, and the testimony would cover
very many pages, tie desired to know whether it
was the wish of the Board to have the report printed.
Mr. Shippen then offered a resolution that the re
sults Of the late examination be reported, and the
committee on that school admit the candidates.
In the course of the debate upon the subject Dr.
Nebir-ger charged that the examination had been
conducted with too much secrecy, and that the com
mittee did not do justice to the Girls’ High School,
by making an announcement that they had no fault
to find with the principal, especially as they knew
nothing detrimental to him.
The committee replied that they were disposed to
give all patties justice, and they were willing that
the testimony should be seen by the Controllers and
the teachers.
A resolution was offered, permitting the results to
be seen by the reporters of the press, which was
subsequently wiihcr&wn.
Mr. Shippen’s resolution was adopted, as likewise
an amendment that the averages of the Hancock
School be reported to this board for future action.
Davenport’s History of the United States was re
stored, by resolution, to the list of textbooks fur
nished to the public schools. It was stated that in
the book, wherever the word “Southern Con
federacy” appears, the word “so-called” has been
prefixed,
A resolution was adopted requesting the joint
commission on the subject of oommon-sohool educa
tion to give their attention to the subject of reading
as practised in the sohools.
Mr. Shippen offered the following, which was
adopted:
Whereas, The United States Sanitary Commission has
authorized the holcisat of a fair in ihie city in June next
in aid of ite fond*, and has called nponall citizens, with
out distinction of party, for assistance In its behalf; and,
takereas, members of this Board have been appointed a
special committee to enlist the active co-operation of all
punilsin their respective school sections: therefore.
Resolved, That the United States Sanitary Commission
has our warmest sympathy, and the fair in its aid shall
receive our earnest and active co-operation, and. far
ther, that we commend the subject to the several eactious,
as well as to all the pnplls of the First School District.
Adjourned, .
Select Council.—The members of Se
lect Council had a special meeting yesterday after
noon, for the purpose of taking action on unfinished
business, President Lynd (U.) in the ehair.
The resolution from Common Council relative to
the repairing of Gray’s Ferry bridge was concurred
in- Also, numerous other bill, from that branch.
The bill making an appropriation to the Depart
ment of Highways, Bridges, Sewers, Ac., for grading
and bridging Fifth street, from Nioetown lane to
Fisher’s lane, which was postponed at the last stated
meeting, was again taken up.
Some length of lime was spent in discussing the
amendment made to the Sint seetion of the bill In
reference to in whose presence the bids advertised by
the Highway Department should be opened.
Mr. Miller fU.) thought no Highway Department
had started worse than the present one. The con
tract system is still carried on by them. They are
forced by outside pressure.
Mr. Davis fU.) said that Mr. Miller in the oourse
of his remarks had reflected upon the present High
way Committee and the Chief Commissioner of
Highways. He hoped that Couneils would judge
them by their actions alter they had committed
wrongs, and not till then.
The second section was also amended, and the bill
passed. Adjourned.

tral Board of the United Statea Sanitary Commis
sion appointed, by the President, whose sessions are

John C. Fifield vs. The Insurance Company of the
State of Pennsylvania. From the Nisi Prius.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff upon
a policy of insurance of the defendants, issued upon
the 24th of November, iB6O, for one year,!from tie
2*d of December, iB6O, upon plaint’s interest, in
cured at 53, 0C0, in the brig John Welsh, valued at
$12,000 The perils insured against were of the seas t
jires pirates, rovers, assailing thieves, jettisons barra •
fry, fre ; and it was provided that the company should
not be liable for any claim for a loss by seizure, cap
toje, or detention, or the consequences of any at
tempt thereat- Upon the trial, after proof of the
policy, and an admission by the defendants that due
preliminary proof had been given by the plaintiff,
the plaintiff proved his ownership of one-fourth of
the vessel, and that she was built in Gloucester,
N. J.i and registered at Philadelphia. The first
mate of the brig Thomas R. Ackland then proved
the loss of the vessel, as follows:
Tlie brig Bailed from Philadelphia, May, 1861, to
Trinidad de Cuba, and there took a cargo of sugar,
and left the island on the 23d June, 1861, for Fal
mouth. England. On the morning of the 6th of July,
bfiug distent about two hundred and fifty miles from
the Nantucket shoals, they fell in with a full rigged
brig, which at first hoisted French colors. Upon
nearing the John Welsh she hauled down the French
flag, and hoisted what was supposed to b 8 the Seces
sion flag, and fired a shot at the plaintiff’s vessel.
The John Welsh hove to, and was boarded from a boat
sent by the straDger, the boarders not carrying their
arms openly, but concealed in their boots and
drawers. The man in command of the boat demand
ed the papcrß ©f the John Welsh from her captain,
which Were given to him; and then g*ve the witness
to understand that he had full charge of the vessel*
The boat’s orew went all over the vessel, plundering
whatever they thought proper to take. The crew of
the John Welsh was ihen transferred to the stranger
veitel; the captain of the John Welsh, the witness,
the steward, and a boy remaining on her. A prize
crew was brought back to the John Welsh, and then
her captain, the witness, the steward, and boy were
removed to the stranger. The John Weisu then
filled away, proceeding in » oouthcrly dweotion, ana
was never ecen or heard of afrerwards. The stranger
vessel cariled five guns and was strongly armed, n»v
ir g from ninety- five to one hundred men. They allege
no authority for the capture, nor did they say what
they were, only that they were going to capture all
the Northern vessels they could come across. The
witness described them as pirates who robbed nun
on the high *eaa. After the,Tohn Welsh w*« taken,
the stranger subsequently attacked ana took several
vessels; among others the Enchantress, and the ship
Mary Goodell, in which vessel the witness returned
: to Maine. The strange vessel had three or four dif
ferent nsmes. Some of her crew called her the Put
nam, some the Jeff Davis, and some another name.
She had no name painted on her, and was an Ame
ricambuilt and rigged vessel, which her crew said
had come from Charleston* The crew of the brig
were subsequently captured, brought into the port
of Philadelphia, and indicted, tried, and convioted
of piracy in the United States Clroult Court for the
Ea.tern DLtrlot of Penney lvania.
The foregoing are the facta of the cate, aa deve
loped upon the trial at rUaiPriua.
Tt waa there tried hy the late Chier Juatloe (Low
rie), to FcOruar", reel, and he directed l tire jury to
find a verdict for the plaixtl.i, upufl the evidence ,
gives, for the fall SmoUtitof hi« claim With interest,
leaa the amount of the premium-note riw.n by htm
with interest thereon, reserving the poiut whether
the plaintiff was enttiled to have judgment entered
on the verdict. The jury fouDd a verdtot for the
plaintiff in the turn of $2,848.75, Afterward., upon
areunsent, the judge, upon the 2iat of February,
1863, directed judgment to be entered in favor of tne
defendant., upon the point reaerved, whleh waa
done accordingly.
From tide judgment a writ of error was then taken
to the Supreme Court, where it waa argued yester
day upon the question whether the Jeff Davis is to
be regarded ae a pirate or a public enemy. If the
former, the plaintiff will recover, for he waa insured
ae against pirate., but if the latter the judgment in
favor of defendant will stand, for the inauranoe waa
not agalnat “public enemfea.” Charles Gibbons
and George W. Biddle, for plaintiff in error: E S.
Miller and Benjamin Gerhard, for defendants in
error.
The argument was not concluded, and the court
adjourned till this morning.
In the Nisi Prius, Judge Agnew, no oase waa
ready, and at an early hour or yesterday’s cession
the eourt adjourned till this morning.

John F. Delaney and Patrick McOroasln were
charged, the first with an assault and battery, with
intent to kill, Alderman James McCahen, and also
with carrying oonoealed deadly weapons; and the

THE POLICE.
(Before Hr- Recorder Bnea. 1
Final Hearing.
William H. Martin, eharged with enlisting minors,
and foiging the names of tne parents to the written
consent, had a final hearing yesterday. He waa
fully committed to answer. He is charged with
having enlisted five boys, named George Bronson,
aged fourteen years, William Barber, aged fourteen,
William H. Campbell, seventeen, Samuel Desney,
sixteen, and George Mohler, fifteen years. He had
enlisted these boys for a heavy artillery regiment
now doing garrison-duty at Washington. A por
tion of the bounty-money was obtained, of which
cum it is alleged the deiendant retained one hun
dred dollars.
The boys were taken to the barracks, and tbe com*
mander of tbe post, upon questioning the defendant
whether the written consent of the lade had been
properly obtained, replied in the affirmative, and
produced the cooumente. They purported to have
been written or signed by the parents, the defend
ant’s name appearing as a witness. Martin was
questioned minutely on this subject by the barracks
commander, and he replied that he saw the parents
sign the consent.
The fathers and mothers of the boys were at the
hearing yesterday, and they .testified in the most
positive manner that tbe; never signed any paper
of the hind. Provost Marshal Yaraley, upon mus
tering in the new recruits, rejected these boys be
cause he did not consider them physically qualified
to discharge the duties that would be required of
them; that to muster them in would be imposing
upon the United States Government. He had no
power to discharge the boys, and therefore they re
mained at the barracks for a couple of weeks. In
the meantime, the parents of some of the missing
youngsters got wind of their whereabouts. They
made application to District Attorney Mann, who
promptly gave the necessary Instructions how to
proceed. The arrest was made by W. Trefta, of the
Recorder’s office, which finally resulted in commit
ting the acousea, to take his trial at the Criminal
Court.

nue and Lawrence street. It la alleged that a party
of Individuals were in the saloon between one and
two o’dook yesterday morning, and, without any
apparent cause or provocation, o ommenced a row,
during which the furniture and fixtures in the bar
room were pretty well demolished. The proprietor
and hia wife interfering to prevent the destruction
of the property, were assaulted. The;alarm.attraoted
the attention of the police, and the two defendants

Iheir escape. The accused were required to enter
ball In the sum of $l,OOO to answer.
CBefore Mr. Alderman BelUer.l
A Recruit for tike War.
A day or two sinee, a scene attracted more than
ordinary attention at Fifth and Walnut street*. A
police officer of-the Third division hod in custody
two colored men, one of the Utter carrying a sheep’*
pluck. The descendants of Ham walked along like
a couple of black sheep going to the slaughter.
They were finally landed in the basement of the Gen*
tral preparatory to a public hearing before the com
mitting magistrate of the Gentral Station. Quite a
curious crowd stood wondering at the scene. At six
o’clock in the evening the two men were arraigned ;
one was named Jabezj the other Joab.
The officer simply stated that he arrested the two
men for disturbing the peace, and “walloping a
pluck so fast between them that he oould not tell
who had possession of it.”
The magistrate, who is distinguished for his pow
ers of investigation, asked the prisoner “ what he
had to say.”
Joab replied that Jabez was the eause of all the
difficulty; to which Jabez responded as follows:
?• Joarb, you knows dat ar isn’t so; It Ain’t de
truf, bress de Lor.”
“It 1b de bressed truf,” replied Joab, “for you
knows de pluck was mine.”
"Now, Jo»arb f you knows de debbil will speak
truf sometimes, and you is wus dan de debbil heset”
The magistrate observing the under lip of Joab
protruding to an extraordinary extent told him to
eject that quid of tobacco.
“Sab, die chile don’t zaokly understand you, sab,”
.replied Joab.
“ Spit out that tobacco you have in your mouth,”
responded the official.
“ Why lor bress you, honey, dat ain’t no tobacco,
daf ar is whar Jabez hit me.”
“De pluck didn’t b’long to him no how,” said
Jabez. .
“Well,” said the magistrate, “the pluck was
yours**”
“ Yes, sah, dst’s a fac. ”
“ Well, have you pluck enough to fight
“ I spec I ha*, in kase of some circumstance**”
An officer proposed to Jabez that he had better
enlist.
“Hab no ’jections to dat; was gwang inter de army
anyhow, but can’t go if I goes to prlssum.”
The case here ended, and in a short time the U. S.
colored troops hod the accession of another recruit.
