N New Curiosities of Literature, Mr. George Augustus Sala, a smart Bohemian on the editorial staff of the Daily Telegrapli, in London—the per sistent assailant of American institutions and the paid organ of “ Confederate " trea- son—came over to this country, some four- teen months ago, as “ Special Correspon dent,” and upon so short a notice that he -was compelled to leave some of his work unfinished in London. Part of this was a novel, entitled “Quite Alone,” which Mr. Charles Dickens had -engaged him to write, as a serial, for All the Tear soynd. In most cases, Mr. Dickenl, like a pru dent editor, takes car,e to have every, arti cle and every series of articles completed before he begins to print them in his perio dical ; .but, on this occasion, circumstances induced him .to deviate from the practice. Half of “ Quite Alone” had been placed in hands, had been read, had been approved, and Mr. Sala was about completing the story, when the sudden resolution to de spatch him to the United States, as special reporter for the Daily Telegraph, was an nounced, and he had to leave England without delay. Mr. Sala, to do him jus tice, is not only an able and ready but also a very hard-working and generally re liable author. Mr. Dickens, having, had many years’ experience of these qualifica tions, (for Sala’s reputation first arose, years ago, from his Dickens like articles in Household Words'), took his word for it that he would send the completion of “ Quite Alone” from this' side 'of the water, and it is said, indeed, that Mr, Sala promised and intended to write it on his voyage hitheT, The result was that “Quite Alone” was commenced in All the Tear Sound early last spring. Its author was able to make a bargain,- at New York, for the copyright in this couutry, and its publication was commenced in. Har per's Weekly, on March 4, 1864. It ram through that journal, aud has since been republished here, in book-form, in Harper’s Library of Select Novels. Mr. Sala was so much occupied in Ame rica with abusing our people, our institu tions, our ladies, our soldiers, our generals, our manners, and, above all, our came, that he had little time for such purely lite rary labor as the completion of hiß novel. He-darted over the country, in, all direc tions, from. New York to Canada, from Ca nada to Washington (during which jour ney he found that Philadelphia was situat ed “on the banks of the Susquehanna”), from Washington to the West, thence back to New York; after that, a flight to Mexi co, whence he returned in a huff because the authorities did not pay him sufficient respect.; a little time at Cuba, followed by a visit toNew Orleans; a tour to Saragossa, which did not please him; a residence at Niagara, on the Canadian side, where he took sweet counsel with Geobob N. San ders, and at the command of his proprie tors, a return to England as. sudden as his departure had been. ‘ No' wonder that the occupation of good living, to which he has no decided antipathy, the claims of society, (for some people, at New York, thought him somewhat of “ a lion,”) and the drain upon his mind of from three to seven columns of original correspondence by every mail to England so much absorbed him that he delayed writing the continuation of “ Quite Alone;" and, at last, when he compelled himself to the task, having about a hun dred and twenty pages to supply, found that he had lost the thread of his narrative, and, it seems, withja “devil-may-care” resolve, determined hot to supply the de siderated manuscript; at all. Of course, there came-a time when, no “ copy" ar riving from Mr. Sala, it seemed likely that the readers of All the Tear Bound and Harper's Weekly would demand‘the com pletion of the story, and object to its being left unfinished—a literary torso. Mr. Dickens cut the Gordian knot with as much decision as Alexander had treated Ms; another writer was commissioned to wind np the tale, which was done, as Mr. Sala found, more to his surprise than satis faction, when he returned home. Judging from internal evidence, we should say that Mr. Sala’s part of the work ended with the fifty-seventh chapter, when, after the burial of her mother, the heroiue is re moved by Jean Baptiste Constant to his hotel. The story is hurriedly wound up, after that, in three more chapters. Whether Mr. Sala can have a legal re medy against Mr. Dickens for thus getting “ Quite Alone ” brought to a dose may be a mooted point, but he certainly has cause to complain of Mr. Dickens’s literary Man Friday. In the first chapter, a certain Sir William Long, a fashionable man-about town, is stated to be “dose upon fifty yearsbut, in the last chapter, it is necessary to marry him to a young girl of seventeen or eighteen, it is said “he was fqrty.” When the story opens, a pretty horse-rider in Hyde Park is intro duced—the heroine of the tale—who is “ not in her first youth—not in her second yet,” who never turns up again,. on the saddle, through the whole tale, but is still in her teens at the end. In the middle of the story, Francis Blunt, the heroine’s father, puts a thousand-franc note into the toe of his boot, before he comes to a bad end and the Morgue, in Paris, and Mr. Sala’s substitute never even hints at what became of it—his prindpal would have worked it up into something remark able', we may be sure. There are many other broken threads not taken up, we can "see. J. K. CAiBWm.I.. Mr. Sala arrived in-London when Chap man & Hall, publishers of “ Quite Alone,” were about issuing that work in three volumes, having paid him for the copy right. He supplied a preface, briefly stating the facts which we have given in detail, and promises that if the public will only make haste and purchase that editiou, he will write them a new last act. The case is entirely unique in literary' his tory. j»2O-fmw«* As for the novel itself, there is scarcely a decent man or woman in it. Lily, the heroine, is a good little creature, without much brains. Sir William Long, the faded baronet, who is fifty when he woos and only forty when he weds, has some gene rous impulses, and Madame de Kergolay, the French Baronne, is a lady, thongh an old one, from the crown of her head to the sole of her foot. Nearly every person else is Bohemian, and from the very worst counties of that miserable Kingdom. It will be difficult for anything which Mr. Bala may write, as a last act, to -relish “Quite Alone,” clever as it is, but we should like to read his own finale, and trust that Harper & Brothers will print it, should it ever appear in London, Another curiosity of literature is the Almanack de Gotha —an indispensable hand book for all ’who have occasion- to; write about foreign countries, their rulers, offi cials, revenues, taxation, possessions, po-. pulation, naval, military, and ecclesiastical statistics, and so on. Accepted as autho rity all over the world, upon these matters, rich in genealogies, and, in most instances, with itß facts and.figures corrected or sup plied by competent and responsible per sons in the respective States, whose sta tistics are here given, it is very .reliable, and we have to thank Mr, F. Leypoldt, 1828 Chestnut street, for. sending us the new volume for 1865. The publication has been, delayed some weebl beyond the usual time, and this is believed, in Europe, to have arisen from a sort of difficulty between Napoleon 111, and Justus Perthes, its publisher. It is reported that Napoleon remonstrated against the continuance of the practice of giving not only the Imperial genealogy (Bonapartean) but that of the ancient royal family of Prance—to wit, the Bour bon! and the Orleans branches. This, he thinks, is a .SOmi-acknowledgment of two deposed dynasti*, the head's of which he considers Pretenders. ’We havcnot heard whether the King of Italy has also pro tested against the; continuance of the ge nealogies of the royal house of Naples and the Grand-ducal houses of Tuscany, Mo dena, and Parma being given, though their possessions are now wholly in his hands. Probably, as a concession to Napoleon, the genealogy of this Murat family is now first? 'introduced into the ' Almanack de ■ Qoihd; but, in cahtrast with this, is the house of La Tour d’Auvergne-Lauraguais, the very oldest, perhaps, in France. Na poLRON was repotted to be implacable, and threaten the publication of a rival to the German Almanac, of which one hun dred and two annual volumes have al ready appeared; will be called the “ Imperial Almanac,*’ and give the statis tics, &c., of all countries—no doubt, from a French point of visSv. It is singular W.p Almanack de Gotha has been a thorn to She first as well as to the third NAPOLsdfcif Til the sixteenth vo lume of the Correspondence of Napoleon. 1., which has just appeared in Paris, iira letter from the; Emp^or, tp M, de Chasc pagNy, his Minister4»f the Interior, re specting this work| wjiich had preserved the titles of Eing. 'OTke, and Prince, for thosUfwho, in the: beriming of this cen- had lost throne, dpkedom, and princi pality. It is dated “ Octo ber 20, 1807,” and readfbthua: - “M. nn Champaget : The ’ Almanac de Gotba’ Is badly done; mention Is - made in ft of the Count da Lille (Louis Die Eighteenth) and of all the Princes of the German Confederacy, as if no altera tions in the German Confederacy had taken place. The names of the Family of‘.France, hare been re ported in an unseemly manner. Summon the Mi nister of Gotba, and make him understand that all this must be altered In thenext Almanac. The House of Franco must be mentioned as in the Im perial Almanac (neither the name of the Count de. Lille nor that nf ahy Germad prince must occur In it aoy.longer, except those In power by foroe of the statutes of the JHhlnebund. You will demand that the paper in question will be communicated to you before printing. If there arebthor almanacs pub lished,in the territories nf niy allies, In which the Bourbons are mentioned, or In whioh the House or France is talked of In Improper expressions, you will write to these- Ministerajso that they should know that you have taken notice of It, and that it must be changed the Tear following. • ’■ Napoleon.” In 1808 an entire edition, ready for pub lication, was seized by a body of French gendarmes. The' alleged offence was that, in the alphabetical arrangement, Anhalt, of. the-Ernestinian line of Saxon princes, took precedence of Napoleon, who claimed to be placed at the head ofljSic nobility of the Rhine. was-that in 1808-the Almanac was printed in Paris, and from that time to 1814 was wholly under French influence at Gotha. Not until 1815 did it become independent, and then, in a supple mentary resume, recorded the? defeats of the French at Trafalgar and on the Peninsula, of which no mention had been made during Napoleon’s reign. - R. S. M. A Strange Story of an Old French Shin Xnameler. The following eccentric story of a Parisian no toriety Is extracted from the latest number of Bent ley's London Miscellany. Its author Is alleged to be Sir Lawrence Wraxelles, the molt fertile and fe licitous translator of light literature Hying ! Sir Law renee was a poof paragraphs some years ago, but by tact, ability, and perseverance had acquired quite a fortune ; when, by the death of an uncle, he succeeded to a Baronet’s title. This is his narrative: “Some days ago,, the Sands of Bummer wore running Into autumn, and the maroon leaves In the garden of the Luxembourg were turning to crimson and gold. JBCy',Mend Mena and myself tosh a cabriolet fot- the gare a%-Moant Far nasse, .and.,, set our fades towards Versailles. Mene Is the most Industrious chronicler of the demimonde. Ho has been as diligent as Frois sart to follow up the gay and beautiful favorites ol the Casino. and the quartier of the Made lalne, and. his little volumes upon Blgolboche, -Alice, and Flnette, &e., have had tremendous sales, both lit feulUeton and binding. He has corresponded with the Independence Beige for eighteen years, and has been four times ordered out of France; hut Ms. cheerluineSß, good humor, and grotesque persist ence Invariably lead to bis recdll. He Has a passion for hunting np all the current and doubtful celebri ties, and as readily ingratiates himself with them. I had before accompanied him to ‘ the dwelling of Bene, the rat tamer; Duval, the bouillon king; Armand, the scout of the sewers; Martin, the vene rable concierge of the Morgue; Pfeiffer, the bell ringer of the Notre*Bame; Obaniere, the bird staf fer, and Maugln, the itinerant crayon dealer; but the person to whose abode we wereat present bound exceeded’them all in strangeness. It was no other than old Jared, the head of the nostrum venders, whose same and riches are upon every Up, and whose person is as original as his history. “We dismounted at Belle Yne, climbed the steep . drive, lined on each side- with neat cottages, in one of wMoh dwelt Tom Moore, when bankrupt, and sat beneath the same maple where he had sat to hear Irving read Aim the first ehapter of Braeebridge Hall; entered the chateau, whose beautiful grounds were projected by LeNotre, the only gardener who ever made the adjustment of landscapes an art, and rounding the famous stone chateau, where dwelt so long Madame de Maintenon and the beautiful belles of Loialne; passed the screaming peacocks, the guides and donkey drivers, and descended into the picturesque village. When this chateau was a bat tiamented eastle, tenanted by the prpud seigneurs of Meudon, the philosophlo and satirto priest Rabe lais was the reotor of the parish ohuroh. The edi fice in which he ministered is still extant; the build ing which tradition indicated as his abode was the object of our excursion. “ It stands quite at the end of a narrow and sinu ous street, and the taste of its present eccentric owner has so perverted it that it 1b quite as gro tesque and Incomprehensible as himself. The tall, I yellow wans,-pierced with narrow, lancet-shaped I windows, uplift the steep, slate roof, bo oharkoterls- I tic of the renaissance architecture, and high in the I air waves upon the lightning rod the effigy o! two I heads, which, without assistance, I should never | have understood. I “ The obliging Mene informed' me, however, that I in those two heads lay the secret of old Jared’s I prosperity. One of them was oddly outlined, and I even from its windy perch seemed horribly contort- I ed. The other was a counterfeit presentment of tbe I same face, but more comely, ovular, and radiant. I They represented, as I was told, Jared deformed I and Jared rejuvenated, but only the most erratic man in the world oould have thought of epitomi zing Ms life in » wesjher vane. “We passed under ft gateway of high arches counterfeiting decay, and saw at the end of the garden the strange proprietor himself. If Jared, in his rejuvenescence, was so hideous, what must he have been in his deformity 1 was my mental excla mation. A fair face, even ruddy in Its complexion, was covered with a shaggy wig, which reached over hla shoulders, while beneath his twisted and knotted eyebrows peered two small and burning orbs suffi ciently intense and wild In their expression to recall the legend of “Barbe Blue ana Robert de la Marek.” The head was monstrous in Its propor tions, while the body beneath It was short and humped, and the limbs, which ambled nervously for ward to receive us, were of the consistence of toe slightest aprioettrees which studded the lawn. “ This uncouth and dwarfed figure, then, was Jules Jared, the first nostrum venderUving.’’ Passing over the story of a very remarkable in terview, the article In Bentley then says of Jared’s history: “ He wss originally a medical student in the Rue Qnatre Vents, and .{night have been praotiolng in some pigmy village of G-asoony to-day, had he not reached the very common experience of love. The object of his regard was the daughter of Jou beet, the surgeon, and-one of-the medical faculty. She treated him, as did everybody else, with marked deilslon ; and once, when he ventured to shew her come attention, named him un olive de la saumure (pickled olive). Thenceforth the object of his ex istence seemed to be to ’beautify himself, and he made the composition of cosmetics his whole study. Every reoipe, ancient or modern, he consulted, ex perimented with chemicals, made distillations from botanical juices, and, to prosecute his researches with more privacy, bought the Tittle hermitage of ViUebon, hi the neighborhood of Meudon, with some money bequeathed him; and devoted day and night to his laboratory. ’ The village people considered him crazy, the more so as he was ones heard to say he would yet be the landlord of the whole commune. “However, by hook or eroolt, he at last finished his researches. Whether .the fresh country air, ab stinence and regular habits accounted for it, or as he asserted, hfi new oosmetlo, he certainly had greatly improved. His complexion was particular ly brilliant, no longer covered With unsightly pim ples, and dark as an Algerine’s, but variably pale and ted. He suddenly appeared In Paris as the proprietor of a great Email or Enamel, but might have lived and died unnoticed, notwithstanding Its bruited virtues, had he had not resorted to shrewd meanß of advertising it. He hired a number of the best cotJfeurtto- make application of It upon their patrons. Those who tested it were pleased, and demanded if again. The hair-dressers, to satlsty oalls, were then compelled to purchase of Jared at his own prices. He thus raised sufficient means to lease half a dozen of the best stands in Paris, and made each of them a depot for his Email. Everybody, male or female, coming in to undergo curling or Bhaviog, was tempted to try the wondrous Email de Jared. Very soon the furore extended to the lorettes. Then,'ln natural order, it embraced the oourt.' No Parisian woman who oould afford it neglected to apply the marvelous oosmetlo. Whatever pieaseß France is coveted by ail the con tinent, and thus as his preparation became known over Europe the adventurous ohemlst prepared it; bujlng up the shops of tue hair-dressers. Taro or three court trials, la one of which the Em press was concerned, redounded to his profit. His odd life and person were bo. many firsoolass advertisements. -He : was introduced ln : comic songs at the Eldorado, burlesqued in the Porte St. Martin pantomimes, danoss at the Prado were named in his honor. In a word, he made good his threat of owning the village of Meudon, and the lady who had laughed at him married him, as much for sensation as for love or ambition. While Mene and Jared were talking together I wondered in my own mind If such a character: could exist out of France; if, in our sober England, any one in a walk ao lowly oould rice to similar eminence. But tbe old eonjurer, divining, my thoughts, Informed methat hlB monthly receipts for.tbe Email de Farit trom London alone were six thousand pounds sterling. So all oar English com* plexlons, It seems, are not unaided the gift of Na ture, j -. “ The fortune of Jared is estimated Sit present at three millions of franos.

Mr. James Brooks, a member of tho House, on tbe 6th of January, is reported-to have used Indebatethe following lan ****¥am bound to say that an effort was made by the. Federal Government during the pendency of the late Presidential election to control the olty of. New York by sending there a bold robber in the person of a Major General of the United States. Robber as he was of the public Treasury, and Major General of the United States as he was, he dared not exercise the. power given to him to attempt to control the actions of thoße whom the gentleman calls thieves and robbers In my own city.” The correctness ofthe reportofwhtohlhave taken measures to ascertain. Here there is a charge made upon the responsibility of tbe position. Mr. Brooks" occupies, of very high Crimea and misdemeanors al leged to be committed byjan officer of the United States, which, if he is guilty, ought 'to-be visited by the most condign punishment. If the charge is ca lumnious and false, then it is due to the national honor that it should bo unstained by the imputation ofthe employment of such a person lu Its service in . high official position, and it would seem also due to the dignity ofthe House that a public slanderer should be rebuked. The Constitution and laws of the United States and parliamentary usage give to the officer thus charged no means of redress through the ordinary courts of law, or any other mode known among honorable men; therefore, ap pealing to the sense of justice of the honorable House, I respectfully ask that an investigation may be ordered of the charges so preferred against me by a member of the House, through a committee of Its members, with the most ample powers of inquiry. Further, that in ordermot to embarrass the investi gation of confining it to the single charge made, I desire to have put In issue every offloial not of my public life which can in any way be supposed to affect my official Integrity or personal honor, and that my accuser have leave to make good his accu sation beforethe committee of the House, so that if the accused be found guilty, proper prosecution / may be ordered in tbe courts for bis punishment, or if the aoousation be found false and calumnious, tbq. honorable House may be In position to vindicate its own honor and dignity by the dne punishment of a public calumniator and slanderer.

Petroleum. A KBV THEORY Off ITS. OBISIN—THE EASTS A GBBAT RETORT-} HI TIJ MINORS COAL ITB CON TENTS, AND OIL AND BASES THE RESULT Off THE ACTION on HBAT UPON IT. There have been a great man; theories account-' lag for the existence o! petroleum In the bowels of' the earth, all of them more or less Ingenious and apparent); correct deductions from the results of research, butlnquiry has generally shown their fal sity. The last theory has a show of reason on its side, end is presented by a contributor to the Pitts burg Commercial. Tie says that all geologists agree that our bituminous coal has been formed from the prostrated forests of an age long past. We find that, b; patting this bituminous coal la a retort, we can obtain the same general character of product as by slating a well at Oil City. ■What Is left In the retort, after the oil has been taken out, Is a species of coke. Arguing from these well-known and acknowledged facts, he arrives at the conclusion that what man has attempted to do in a east-iron retort, an all-wise Providence has much more effectually done by the operations of Bis laws In nature; and that the anthracite coal fiblds in our own lands, and other lands, are simply what remains in this laboratory of nature, after, by the application of heat below and pressure above, the ell and gases have been driven elsewhere. The oil thus pressed out has trickled through the orevices of the roekß below these, now anthracite, but once bituminous coal fields, and we find It to-day In the pools and crevices of our different oil regions. The anthracite coal which remains answers to our ooko. We use It for the same purposes, for melting ores in blast furnaces, find for melting iron In foun dry cupolas, the great difference being that It is vastly superior In quality, a faot not to be wondered at when we remember the laboratory in which It was made and the all-seeing eye that superintended its production. This thing Is worthy of attention not only because It may unveil the mysteries of the chemistry of the earth, but also bsaanse If eorreot it will solve one .or two other Interesting questions concerning Internal heat, &e., which will so much advance the coarse of science. TUB STATES. A Ouni&us Deposit'.— On Saturday last, as a oonple ofyonng men were out gunning on the Cornwall Bills, near the road leading from Eby’s to Bosh’s tavern, they came across a depression or hole that the; thought might be the harbor for a rabbit. They Inserted a stick, and on withdraw ing it, a pieee of brass dung to. it.. They examin ed further, and being satisfied that It contain ed other articles, returned to their homes with the Information. Others then went to the place, and, on removing a mass of brash and leaves, a most curious deposit was exposed, embracing abont one hundred and fifty different articles, among which were spoons,, buttons, old coins, a oonple or muskets, pooket compass, &o. There seems to be no fixed theory about the matter. Some think that a murder has been committed In the. vicinity, and that those arttoles belonged to the Individual made away with. Altogether it is a very strange affair.— Lebanon Courier. Cavalry Krgimrnts.— Efforts are being made In different parts of the State to raise several oa valiy regiments by volunteers. Several of these regiments are entirely new, which circumstance is very apt to promote volunteering, as the new comers are generally very shy on entering old regi mentß as “ recruits.” This branoh of the service la also preferred by many to the Infantry and artil lery service. Provost marshals are now receiving recruits' for the . fid, 4th, Bth, 13th, IGth, and.Slsc Segments Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry. - Warning to Skatbbs.— A young man was skating in Chester county some days ago, and; npon taking off his skates after an hour or two or exerolse, he found his feet and legs so completely paralysed as to disable him from rising from where he had seated'himself. He was helped home, but died In a few days afterwards. It Is thought that paralysis proceeded from the skatwttraps being drawn so tight as to prevent the circulation of blood. Oil and Salt. —Samples have been exhibited in Fayette county, Pa., of salt manufactured v° m ' water taken from the 11 Elder Oil Well,” at a depth of 228 feet. The salt Is very strong, and of an excel lent 'quality, a pint of which was manufactured from two gallons of water, just as It came from the well. The indications for oil In this well are excel lent. The current or gas was so strong a few days ago as to throw the water two feet above the month of the well. At last accounts from this well they had bored twenty-two feet Into a sand rook of the finest and purest quality of white Sand. lob on the Susquehanna.— The quantity of ice on the Snsquehanna is larger now than was ever known before by the oldest inhabitant. The Ice la some places is piled np on the banks to the height of twenty or thirty feet, and has swept over the ca nal, lifting the bbats high above the banks. The river In many plaoes is frozen to the bottom, and in other plaoes the toe'ls Item 4to 6 feet thick. The people living along the banks are In constant dread of a sudden thaw, and have prepared themselves to quit their ,premises at a moment’s notloe.

To the Editor of The Press: Sir: a stranger remarked of Philadelphia that' It was the easiest city la the Union to get about la through the week, and the most difficult on Sunday and the stranger was right. In New York and Bosl ton you may pass, on Sunday from one part of the olty to another, no matter how romote, by means of .the street cars, as readily as on any other day; but In Philadelphia, whloh covers a larger area than either Boston or New York, the ushering In of Sunday tods the citizen deprived of all means of inter communication. Unlees you are a good walker you cannot pa this day visit your friends who live at a distance from your plaoe of residence, nor get to your church unless it is located near your dwelling, nor perform many of the Christian charities appro priate to the day, and for which the day gives oppor tunity. . Now, In the language of our Lord, “ the Sabbath was made for man, and not man ror the Sabbath.’’ Therefore, whatever Is useful to man is lawful on the Sabbath. It Is not useful, but hurtful, to man to pursue his ordinary business on Sunday, for the sake of gain; but It la useful to him to have all the proper means at his disposal on Sunday, for doing good and getting good. Released from the confine ment of business, the day gives him opportunity for charitable aots of various kinds, rand In a large city like this If Is wrong to deny him the means of passing easily and at will from one part to another. I call attention to this matter, not In the Interest of city railroads (in none of whloh do I own stock), but in the Interests of the people and for their good. My suggestion is, that three or four companies be authorized to wn cars on Sunday, crossing the city at right-angles, so that any person wishing to go to a distant part of the city may be able to do so wlth very little walking. If this were done, thousands of good citizens would be gratlfled and benefited.: With your permission, Mr. Editor, I would most earnestly call public attention to this matter, whleh has become one'of serious Importance. Ref it be freely canvassed, and an early movement begun. I am your Rlend truly, OKU Or TUB PSOPLB, Pnit,ADEf.rHiA, Jan. 25,1865. . Hew PablleatioDß, Our play-going readers may recollect that, some weeks ago, a young Philadelphian, Mlsb Olive Ro gan, played a short engagement at Cheßtnut-3treet theatre. She bad first appeared in New York, (in a play of her own writing, too,) and was praised there, •by ctitlce proverblally difficult to please, as a debu tante of considerable ability. Our own Impressions were decidedly in her favor. A handsome faoe, full of expression; fine eyes, which Seemed to dart I Imperious Inquisition to the heart ’ a well-shaped figure; good hair; easy and graceful carriage, and a voice ‘(ever soft, gentle, and low,” like sweet. Cordelia’s—these, in combination with considerable intelligence and good edueatlon, are qualifications which go far In making a,good' ac tress. And we Rankly confess that, considering her youth (for she cannot be more than three-and-twen ty), Miss Olive Regan bids falrto become a radiant “star” In the theatrical hemisphere, ere long. Of her Intelligence , off tSe stage, the most obvious proof's are two beoks which she has written. The first, entitled “ Photographs of Paris Rife,” written j In Pails and published In Rondon, found favor In i the eyes of the Empress Eugenie, and, what Is more to the purpose, wae warmly commended by. the English reviewers. Her knowledge of - Parisian so ciety, In which she lived for a time, and her fami liarity with the French language, have preparedher for the authorship of a sustained story; In one vo lume, just published by Appleton &.Go., New York, whloh we have received from Aahmead & Evans, In this city. The title Is “ Chateau Frissao; or, Home Scenes In France.” It Is a story of do mestic life, in and out ..of Paris, the object of which is to show the evils resulting from the well-known -French manages tie come nance, in which mutual affection Is the very last thing thought of by the parents and guardians who arrange them. The Beene shifts Rom Parte to the country, and even to Rome, Bayonne, and. Blarritzj but the moral te pointed all through the tale.. The Interest centres In the Count de Frtesao, his wife and daughter, hut several other characters are brought in. One of the best sketches Is that of Mademoiselle X., of the Oomedle Franqalse—so true to life, that It cannot have been merely imagined. The narrative, whleh is full of Interest, la easy, graceful, and vivacious. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The stock market still shows evidence of & progres sive downward movement. The “"bears’ 3 are at pre text! the controlling element in influencing prices, hacked up as they are by the favorable aspect of mili tary and national affairs. In the face of recent victo ries, and with the disposition manifested on the part of some of the Southern leaders to adopt measures looking to pacification, it would be a foolhardy undertaking to operate now for a rise The “bolls” of the market have an uphill work to attempt to effect an end which it is not in the nature of things for them to attain. The decline in stocks has failed to attract outside investors into the market, v ho are probably deterred'from b lying by an expectation that farther news of successes may de - press prices still.?ower, land, coxudderingthe competition of Government securities and oil and mining stocks, It is* reasonable to suppose that the public will not be readily drawn into speculations securities.

Norristown sold at 67%. The oil stocks continued to attract considerable attention. The mining and navigation stocks were very dull.
