"Within a short period of time two names have been resounding throughout the whole length and breadth of our land. Bepresenting and illustrating the extremes of those great conflicting opinions which have been the moving springs of all our recent history, they have been each, to their partizans, held “ as high names lifted high,” and as surely denounced by their opponents as unworthy even of that “had eminence” to which the freaks of fortune had lifted them. The one, a statesman of repute and ex alted station, forgetful of old ties, of honor and of gratitude, regardless of justice and blind to truth, united himself with the foes of his country. Ambitious of distinction and thiißting for power, he won his honors through dishonor, and secured his sinful supremacy by sins of ever deepening dye, until he reached the extreme of disgrace and the lowest depths of degradation. So has one bright name fallen, lowering day by day from honor to infamy, and the end has not yet come! The other name that has been ringing throughout our land is that of a rough, rude, stein old man, who, stung by injus tice and oppression, supported by a high and holy purpose, but impelled by fa natic zeal, aiOße against the power of the law and the peace of his country. Both these men have been guilty of the same offence before the tribunal of justice, and both have been arraigned for like crimes— treason, conspiracy, murder ! But before the Higher Power how differently stand Jrffrrson Davis and John Brown ! In the case of the old Kansas chieftain there was neither conspirators at home or abroad to defend or extenuate ; for neither the folly of his attempt, the failure of his design, or the purity of his principles, could lessen Ms guilt or diminish his cul pability. Jefferson Davis, with all the prestige of rank and political power, carried into the camp of the enemy the secrets of the Government that he intended to destroy. Aided by powerful friends, drawing his ablest assistance and his amplest means from the nation which he hoped to over throw, h?inaugurated the most extensive scheme of treason, and pursued it with unremitting diligence. The warriors that the Union had educated were to be her conquerors; the statesmen she had trained her foes; the arms that she had made were to he directed against her life; and her own treasures were to undermine her power. Old John Brown, with a handful of men, seized a single arsenal, momentarily delayed the progress of a line of travel, and then lost all he had gained and all his fu ture hopes for a scruple of conscience and a feeling of humanity to Ms prisoners. He was warring for human rights, and was in his own conscience stainless towards God and man. His faith was pure, his princi ples high and worthy of all honor. He failed, and his failure Co3t him his life; yet Ms life and death weie great eras iu the mighty work for which he labored, and hastened its accomplishment. That which le attempted so unadvisedly, and expiated so sadly, was left to be accomplished by another hand. John Brown, piously and valiantly, en deavored to liberate the slaves, but it was Jefferson Davis who completed the work! "What the old Kansas chieftain failed to accomplish was finished by Davis and Ms slaveholding traitors. The fanatic died the death, the cause waß lost, the chains of the slave Beemed but more firmly clasped than ever. The un righteous power wMch had goaded him to defiance in far off Ossawatomie continued its dark deeds and fi'led the measureof its crimes. That question which Ms dying breath had urged upon the heart 3 and con sciences of his executioners, and which his wisdom foresaw as their destruction, was, indeed, to cause their ruin. Two years had not nearly rolled away when the aggressions of the power, against which he had striven, and the treason of the very men who judged Mm, brought the end for WMch their Victim prayed. And those who had wondered at his folly, and jeered at Ms madness, went forth to strug gle for the right, with his name for a b ittle cry. In the mysterious workings of Pro vidence the traitor to Virginia became, in every deed, the means of her redemption from treason. One of these men has assumed the honor of hc-ing the type of Southern aggression against the North; upon the memory ,of the other has been thrust the office of repre senting Northern aggression upon the South. It has been written “by their worts ye shall know them.” The one is the proven abetter of all daßtard schemes of injury to his former friends, the con niveT at the low sins of burglary and arson, the adviser of torture and destruction of helpless prisoners, the confederate of the murderers of peaceful citizens aud the confi dant of assassins; this has been tbe work of tbe Southern gentleman, while that rough old man enacted for the guidance of his followers the most stringent rules of hu manity in the treatment of all prisoners, conjuring them to obedience by their “fear of the Almighty God.” Such were the words of the traitor against Virginia, ard his deeds carried them into completest practice. Honor, personal honor, has been the boast of the Southerners; but their representative dragged his in the dust. Old John Brown exerted his latit failing strength, not in de fence of his life, not to eseipe a felon’s death, but to vindicate that alone for which he cared —his honor—and, assured that his intentions and hopes were clearly proven, consigned himself freely to an ignominious death. The very men captured by him describe the grandeur of the old hero’s at titude as he at once commanded his little garrison, encouraged the fearful, spoke words of kindly comfort and sympathy to his prisoners, and insured their safety by every precaution in his power. At the moment of his seizure so stood old John Brown, resting one hand firmly on his weapon, with the other clasp ing the stiffening fingers of his dying son, while the dead body of the other iay at his side—a type of courage, endurance, mag nanimity, and generosity. Of the last scene of Davis’ capture what remains to be said ! It must be left where it belongs,, to the pencil of the caricaturist, while over its rehearsal will ever peal “ Tie long laughter -.r tu® -world.” The Great Criminal. Sir Edward Coze, who was Chief Justice of England in the reign of James 1., and who suffered seven months’ imprison ment in the Tower of London, when he was seventy-one years old, simply because he had resisted illegal and arbitrary acts of one Of tbe WOTBt of European monarcbs, is remembered in these later years, not alone by his integrity as a judge, but by his great ability as a jurist; and the lawyer, American or English, who is igno rant of his “Institutes,” may he said not to know the greatest text-book of constitutional and municipal law ever written. Blaceetonr, notwithstanding his great merit, was something of a time server, and is liable to the imputation of ' having passed too lightly over the question of Prerogative—some affirm at the request or under the influence of George the Third, before and after he had ascended the throne. On the other hand, Coke, who suffered for his independence, was a great constitutional lawyer, whose honesty no one haß doubted, and -whose boldness was not to be subdued, whether by flattery or force. He is estimated as highly in tins country as in his own, and his dicta con-, stltute what iB called authority. Among the aphorisms, impressive and even grand in their simplicity, which were enunciated by Coke, are two which, we humbly submit, are especially applica ble, at the present crisis, to the case of that arch-rebel, Jefferson Davis, the head and front of the late rebellion, and the pseu do-President of the “ so-called Southern Confederacy" which it engaged to establish. One, speaking of treason, declares that “ Those who consent to the act, and those who commit it, should be visited with equal punishment,” ( Conaentientes et agen tes paripana fleclentur, ) and another, yet more familiar, says: “He who does a thing by the agency of another does it by himself.” (Qui faeit per alium facit per se.) These undesirable maxims were de rived, it is said, from the Boman Haw, but they emanate, in fact, from common sense itself. They will overthrow all endeavors, if any be made, to affirm that because Jef ferson Davis remained in Richmond, like a spider in the middle of Ms net, when his myrmidons carried fire and sword into the county of WasMngton and District of Co lumbia, in July, 1864, he cannot fairly be charged with the traitorous act for which he is indicted and will be tried. His is no charge of but of actual treason. He commanded certain persons to commit the direst offence that can be perpetrated ; he did it by and through them, and is as much guilty as if he had had the courage to place himself at the head of the hostile and rebellious raid. The treason of Davis has been hydra headed. Born a citizen of the United States,,he received the education of a sol dier, we will not say from the charity, but out of the bounty of Ms father-land; he performed military service for the United States; he entered the Congress twenty years ago; he served in army of the Re public during the Mexican war; he became one of the Senate of the United States; he received ofllce, as Secretary of War, under President Pierce ; he was re-elected Sena tor in 1857, and, when the Rebellion broke out, which his ambition and subtlety had helped to organize, abandoned that position, to take an active part in the illegal Secession of the South, and finally became titular President of the pretended Confederation. In each of the above positions this “ bold, bad man” must have taken a solem oath of allegiance to the country, its laws, and Constitution, which he betrayed. There fore, there is perjury as well as treason upon his soul. For four years he has been the evil genius whose devilish ingenuity and persistency kept the rebellion alive. He knew, two years ago, that there was no hope of suc cess for his bad cause, but worst ambi tion, which made Satan aspire and fail, tempted Mm to persevere. Of all guilty men, he is the guiltiest—yet, it has been whispered that, on trial, lawyers will en deavor to argue, for him, that, because he was not present in person he was not pre sent in spirit and fact, during the raid of July, 1864, and that therefore his being only “constructive treason,” theMokaana of the Rebellion is to escape the legal con sequences of Ms great crime! Of Ms crime ?—say, rather, of his multi plied crimes. He is accountable, legally and morally, for all the evil deeds com mitted by his creatures and dupes, in arms against the Republic, from the first shot fired against Fort Sumpter to the moment when, a new Jupiter Scapin, he provided an absurd, ridiculous, and contemptible finale to a most bloody struggle, by endea voring to escape in Ms wife’s bonnet, cloak, and crinoline. For the waste of blood and treasure during the last four years, for the other disastrous consequences of the war, for all the evils it has created, Jefferson Davis is morally and legally responsible. That he and his fellow-traitors were influ enced by noble and disinterested motives, we never can admit. They did not believe what they said and wrote. The people whom they had excited would probably have sacrificed them had they held back, when it came to blows. Latterly, when the Southern people saw the hopelessness of the contest, they would have given it up, but the leaders, hoping against hope, and knowing that they deserved no cle mency from the Republic which they bad betrayed, kept them up to fighting point. In the approaching trial it will be suffi cient to prove that Davis was in supieme command, as chief of the rebels, in Rich mond, when rebel troops, commanded by officers whom Tie has commissioned, made the raid into Washington county, in July, 1864. That proof made, an honest j ury has no alternative but to bring in a verdict of “ guilty” against the arch-traito^, It would appear, by a reference to the English papers which we have received by the last mail, that Earl Russell had given some necessary and hy no means unduly early information to the heads of various departments in the British Government. This information was, that “in the exist ing Btate of the Civil War in America, and the uncertainty as to its continuance, the time had arrived for ceasing to require belligerent vessels to leave the British ports within twenty-four hourß, and restrict their supplies to their actual requirements.” Tins step may be regarded as very signifi cant—significant that the British Lion feels that the American Eagle will now have leisure enough to look around her, with beak and claws strong and sharp enough to protect her own interests, and, should there need he, to vindicate her national honor most plainly and unmistakably. TETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.” Washington, May 30, 1865, The attempt of notorious rebels, the bit ter remains of the traitors of the counties bordering the District of Columbia, to enter the Legislature of Virginia, under the call of Governor Pierpoint, is a new evidence of the audacity of the despoilers of the Republic. They Galkin and take the oath, only to disregard it. Having broken all their former covenants, they will be equally free to reject the new one, no matter how severe and close its teims. Von know the dangerous philosophy lately preached that these oaths may be Bwom with mental reservations; and the exposed and angry “ chivalry ” are hungry to obey it. They seem to think it doing God’s service to cheat a generous Government; but the end will be the same. All their efforts in the* field having failed, it is too late for them to hope to resume power by such jugeling as this. It is the very meanest sort of thimble-rigging. There are several clauses in President Johnson’s amnesty proclamation, published this morning, which will not only prevent these trick sters from taking seats in the Virginia Legislature, but will punish them for trying to do so in the teeth of their persist ent and cruel disloyalty. You will ask whether these frequent instances of bad faith are specimens of the whole Southern people ? They are very disc'ouraging, cer tainly ; but I am glad to hope that they are exceptional. A very much better spirit is awakening among the deluded people of the late insurrectionary districts. Several causes operate to produce aud also to in. crease this feeling. And cliiefest of all is the now accepted fact that Andrew Johnson will enforce his policy at every haz ard. This is laid down so clearly that it cannot be misunderstood. If yielded to gracefully, they will find him magnani mous, merciful, and forgiving. Indeed, such is tbe sentiment you will observe in the proviso to Ms Amnesty Proclama tion. The sensible men of the South, many of the recent leaders in their armies and in their political bodies, sec in his re solute, explicit, and patriotic purposes, that which commands at least their respect; and where °ne respects authority, obedience is not far off., Occasional.

THE PIRATICAL PLOT AT SAY PH AY CISCO. A PERUVIAN STEAMER TO HAVE BEEN SEIZED. ARREST OF THE CONSPIRATORS. San Feancibco, May 26.— An examination mafla Into the circumstances attending the conspiracy to seize the Peruvian steamer Colon, at this port, re veals the following raots: The parties on board the bark Brontes, some roar hundred in number, en listed ostensibly to proceed to Arizona, but really to land on the Mexican coast, In the Gnir of Cali fornia. A man by the name of Williams was the general commanding the expedition, and another named Hnngerford, late of the Arm; of the Poto mac, was its oolonel. Subsequent to the detention of the Brontes by the authorities, Williams and others oonoooted a scheme to seize the Colon, run her to sea, and use her as a privateer against French commerce. Some of the leading parties In the con spiracy were formerly known as rebel sympathizers. The Mexican General Vega, agent of the Juarez Government, made large advances of money to Williams, as the leader of the emigration scheme, until he ascertained that the money was llkoly to be misapplied, when he gave Information against Williams. Williams bad given others to understand that the seizure of the Colon was understood between the Mexican and Peruvian authorities, and that the show of foroe in making the seizure was necessary to acquit the latter of any blame In the matter. The men selected by Williams for the enterprise were sworn to carry it through, on the blade ol a sword, In private, and the duty of one of the party was to out the telegraphic wires. The scheme oontem. plated the seizure of the French transport Peln when she came down from Mara Island. The par ties arrested are in the city prison, charged with conspiring to commit a felony. They will be exa mined before the police court to-morrow. The trial of the Panama pirates continues. The letters of the rebel Seoretary of the Navy, Mallory, show what was to be done. Its genuineness is admit, ted. The prisoners set up as their defence that they were engaged In lawful warfare, and should bo con sidered as prisoners of war. The subscription to the seven-thirty loan In this city yesterday was $260,000. THE SOUTHWEST. GOOD-FEELING AMONG THE PEOPLE Mallory and Cobb Coming Yorth Under Guard. NEGRO ENLISTMENTS IN KENTUCKY.

To tbr Officers and Soldiers of tkr Ashy of thb TnNNBBSMa WhiIe participating in the common feeling of satisfaction that the work of sub duing the enemies of our country has been so tho roughly accomplished, it is with a feeling of real sadness that I part from my companions In arms. It was with many misgivings that I accepted the v&eancy oreated oy the death of your able and much-loved Commander, General McPherson. But I found the most cordial and ooaßtant support throughout the Army, and take a pleasure and pride In attributing your uniform suooesß to that united action whloh your generouß confidence ore* ated. , Should you be oalled to other fields for active ser vice, you have In my successor, General Logan, an able, earnest, untiring soldier to lead you. With a feeling or tender recollection whloh binds us to our late Chief Magistrate, who has poured out his own blood in the common sacrifice, rpropose to you fer a life motto his words, “ with malice toward none, with charity for all, and firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.” These words are the truthful, practical, singular bequest that he has left us, and may we cherish them, not only ae the expression of bis life, bat as a precept which shall be the ground-work of perpetual union in this land 1 _ Now, to the army, I say farewell—well done, noble body of men. God bless and reward you for all your fidelity and sacrifices. So long as tbe old flag remains the emblem of these States, united, let It be counted an honor to the true-hearted soldier, or to his memory, that ha fought lu this army. O. O. Howard, Major General.

Whereas, a large amount of land In the State of Virginia, and other States that have been In Insurrection, has been abandoned by disloyal owners, and 1s now being cultivated by freedmen; and whereas, the owners of such lands are attempting to obtain possession of them, and thus deprive the freedmen of the fruits of their In dustry, it Is ordered that all abandoned lands in said State under cultivation by the freedmen, be re tained In their possession until the OfOpS now grow ing shall he secured for their benefit, unless full and just compensation be made for their labor and Its products, and for expenditure. The above order will not be so construe d so as to relieve disloyal per sons from the consequences of their disloyalty, and the application for the restoration of their lands by this class of persons will.

Thb Youngest Soddibb bbom Nbw Yobk.— A very pleasing Incident—the presentation of a medal to a young soldier—occurred in Hanson Place Methodist Episcopal Sabbath sohool, In Brooklyn, on Sunday afternoon. William Albertus, a volun teer in the forty-eighth (late Colonel Perry’s) regi ment, who had enlisted as a private when only thtr. tten years old, ana who was, it is understood, the youngest soldier In the state of New York, was pre sented with a gold medal by the officers of the sohool In whloh he had been a pnplt. He was oalled np to the desk, and after some remarks had been made by the pastor, wasjlecorated wlththe medal by Lieutenant Colonel Booth. The young man Is now seventeen years old.

It l? gratifying to lave to draw attention to the great Improvement, during the latt -lew years, In the production of books In this country. Time was. and not long ago, when few books published la the United States conld be aompared, as regards printing, paper, and binding, with pabiieatlons from the English press. That time has passed. American publishers now prodnoe works whloh arc not sorpasccd, la appearance, by Murray, Long man, orfcrntley, and have the advantage, besldes f of being cheaper to the pnrohasor. Take the besv publications of the leading houses lu our principal olties, and their prloe la about two-thirds lower than works or a similar oharaoter In England. It would be Invidious to single ont, for particular eulogy In tbfs respeot, sny American publishers who take a pride In producing bookß whloh. In all mechanical essentials, can challenge comparison with the most beautiful works Issued from the British prets. There are a few In this olty-stlll more In New York—and most of all In Boston, where espeolal attention has been paid to the typo graphical execution, and more particularly at two establishments—both looated at Cambridge—known as the Riverside Press and the University Press, These respective establishments do a great deal or work for the New York publishers, but there is no reason whatever why book-printing shall not be as well done In New York and Philadelphia as In or near Boston. We have been led Into these remarks on book* publishing because there are now on our table six volumes, emanating from Mr. Charles Sorlbner, an eminent New York publisher, whloh arefnlly equal to the original works whloh erst appeared lu Eng land. Each work is in two volumes, crown Bvo. (the neatest library size); the printing, upon laid tinted paper, is beautllnl, and the binding, In a sort of grained leather-colored oloth, is at once delicate asd firm. These works respectively are “ A New Life of Cicero,” by William Forsyth ,• “ The mad of Homer rendered Into English blank verse, by Ed ward Earl of Derby,” and the first pnrtlon of the 11 History ol England, from the fall of Woisoy to the Death of Elizabeth,” by James Anthony Fronde, These are standard works, whloh, at the present rate of exohange, cannot be Imported from England without costing the purchaser here seven dollars a volume, Instead of two dollars and a hair, whloh Is the retail price of Mr. Soribner’s beautiful reissue. Until the appearance ol Mr. Forsyth’s book the only English biography of Utoero (whom we pro ptrly ought to call Kekero t) was a lumbering Life by Dr. Conyers Middleton, a heavy and learned man, who was always scribbling. This Life of Cicero, In two volumes, first appoared in 1711, and, rcr want of a better, has repeatedly been reprinted. In organic defect is that Middleton- was very vio lently prejudiced In favor of Cicero, and did not hesitate, by the frequent suppression of truth and the occasional assertion or falsehood, to build up,' In his book, a far hotter character for his hero than he deserved. The author who should write a bio graphj of Napoleon Bonaparte, chiefly founded on what the exile of St. Helena wrote and said, In self extenuation or against his enemies, would prodnoe a very one-6lded work, but would scarcely be more partial that Middleton, who believed all that Cleero has said of himself as well as all that he has said of his enemies, and also softened down those points in which the great Homan orator unintentionally bore evidence against himself. The biography by Mr. Forsythls of a different and highly superior character. Mr. Forsyth, formerly a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Is a mem ber of the British bar, and so distinguished there as to be a Queen’s connsel. Since 1827 he has pub lished several volumes upon legal subjects, among which « Hortenelns, an Historical Essay on tho Duties of an Advooate,” published In 1849, and the "History of Trial by Jury,” alone arc likely to In terest the general reader. Iu 1833, Mr. Forsyth produced two volumes of the “ History of tho Cap tivity of Napoleon at St Helena; from the Letters and Journals of the late Lientenant General sir Hudson Lowe, and official documents not before made public.” This work, which was republished by Harper & Brothers, New York, was an attempt to rescue “ Sir Hudson Lowe, Sir Hudson Lowe, By name and oh 1 by nature so,” from the generally accredited oharge of having treated the Illustrious captive with undue severity and ungentlemaniy want of courtesy, and thongh Mr. Forsyth has shown that in many Instances hove merely obeyed Instructions iroin the British Ministry, he has failed to wash the hlaokamoor white. The Life of Cicero, Mr. Forsyth’s latest and best work, Is one of the finest examples of classic bio graphy ever written, in any language. At a time, too, when attention has been drawn to that mo mentous petlod in Homan history, which Is con sidered in Napoleon’s “ Life of Crosar,” and In Merl vale’s " History of the Homans under tho Empire,” the book appears very opportunely, Tho author has largely drawn his materials for Cicero’s life ont of Cicero’s writings—particularly from the familiar Letters to Attlcus—not using Melmoth’s florid translation, but referilng to the original. Ho has availed himself, too, of authorities which Conyers' Middleton conld not oonsnlt—for the plain reason that they did not exist In his time. We allude to the German historical writers and commentators, Including “ The History of Home,” (or "Pompey, Caisar, Cicero, and their Contemporaries,”) by Professor Drumann, of Konlgsborg. He might have made a larger work, hut we have Greek au thority for believing that " a great book Is a great evil.” The whole career of Cicero la olosely traoed, particularly from the murder of Osesar, whloh he approved, and his oharaoter, as a statesman, an orator, and a writer, Is finely and fairly Bammed np at the close. This summary (Vol. 11, pp. 319-880,) Is as ably written as anything of a similar class In our language. The work has a good index, and has twenty beantlfnl engravings on wood, Including portraits Of Cicero, Pompey, and Caesar. Already It is a elasslo and standard prodnotlon. The announcement that the Earl or Derby, who has twice been Premier of England, and Is now leader of the Opposition-party In Parliament, was about publishing a translation of Homer, took by surprise all but those who had seen the volnme of 11 Translations of Poems Ancient and Modern” pri vately printed, In 1862, for his personal friends, and which lnoluded a translation of the first Book of the Iliad, He avowed, in the prefaoe to that small volume, that his desire was "to Infuse into an al most literal version something of the spirit, as well as the simplicity, of tho great original.” The spa eimen excited so much admiration that his Lord ship was thereby encouraged to translate the re maining twenty-three Books, He commenced this self-imposed taßk In the autumn ol 1862, and his pre face to the published volumes b dated October, 1864. For the first time, at the mature age of sixty-five, Lord Derby challenges public attention as an author. It should be remembered, too, that while executing this translation, he waß engaged during six months of each year In attending to his duties In the Honse of Lords, wlth the farther ills advantage of an annual severe attack of the gout in the autumn. These facts are not stated In the preface, but knowing them to be true, we think It right to mention them—not In extenuation, for the work requires none, but to show how gallantly this fine scholar, who Is also one «f the leading and wealthiest peers In England, applied himself to perform what he had undertaken, His achieve ment Is the triumph of mind over matter. The metre adbpted ls.blank verse—not that whloh Cowper used when translating Homer—but tho metro In whloh Shakespeare’s plays and Milton’s greatest poem are given. As for his speoffic pur pose, let us express It In his own words; “It has been my atm throughout,” he says, 1 - to produce a translation and not a paraphrase -, not, Indeed, such a translation as would satisfy, with regard to each word, the rigid requirements of accurate scholar ship, but snob as would talrly and honestly give the sense and spirit of every passage-and of every line omitting nothing and expanding nothing, and ad hering as olosely as our langaago will allow even to every epithet which Is oapable or bring translated, and whloh has, In the particular passage, any thing or a special a9ddl3tluotivecharaoter.” He has adopted the Latin ratherthan the Greek nomenclature for the Heathen Deities— “Induced to do so from the mani fest incongruity of oonfoundlng the two; and from the fact that though English readers may be fami liar with the names of Zeus, or Approdlte, or even Poseidon, those of Hera, or Ares, or Hepbmstus, or Leto would hardly oonvey to them-a definite signi fication.” Even Professor George Allen, “ much re nowned for Greek,” will admit the propriety of this Choice. There has not been muoh difference of opinion, among the English orltlcs, as to LordDorby’s trans lation. It Is generally admitted to convey the spirit as veil as the meaning of Homer better than had hitherto been done. It leerni to ns that never before was the poetry of the great Hellenic Father of Song so nobly and co truly rendered into onr expressive Anglo-Saxon tongue—ln a word, It Is a transfusion rather than a translation, Fronde’s history of the last of the Tudor reigns in England—those of Henry VIII., Edward VI., Mary 1,, and Elizabeth—has excited more Interest and canted more discussion and criticism than any work of that class published slacc the time of Gib bon, with the exception of Macaulay’S ehef d'teuvre, Mr. Scribner will publish the entlrrf work: fonr volumes devoted to the reign of Henry, two to that of Edward and Mary, and two to that of Elizabeth. Before speaking of the history, let us mention a few personalities about Its author. James Anthony Fronde, who Is now 47 years old. Is son of the late Archdeaeon Froude, and younger brother, by fifteen years, of Richard Harrell Froude, who died In 1833, and the publication of whose “Bemalns” greatly accelerated, If It did not cre ate, the Tractarian or Newmaa-Puseylte move ment In the TJntverslly of Oxford. The Mr. Froude. whose work we have to notice, distinguished him self at the University, and, purposing; to devote himself to the Church, was even ordained deacon at the age of 37. Ho soon abandoned the derioal for the literary profession, and his first work was a volume of serious t»le3. In 1819, he published “The Nemesis of Faith,” whioh has gone through several editions, and from the opinions expressed In it (the reverse of orthodox), had to resign bis Fellowship in Oriel College, Oxford, to which he had been elected twenty-ore years before. After this, he wrote for Magazines and Reviews, and, In less, produced the first two volumes of hls “ History of England, from the Fall or Wolsoy to the Death of Elizabeth.” The whole work, as we have Stated consists of eight volumes. The distinguishing feature of the volumes before us,wbteh begin with the agitation for King Henry’s divorce from Catharine of Arragon, and oonelude with hls third marriage (to Jane Seymour), Is their strong and, many readers may think, thorough vin dication of Henry. The author freely consulted the State and other papers or the period of the time, many of them yet unpublished, and is the first Eng lish historian who had the opportunity of consult’ng and using the MS. Archives of Slmaneas, In Sp in, wherein are preserved not only a vast quantity of letters and despatches from England to Sp in, during the reigns of Philip and Mary and El'za both, but also the letters from Queen Catherine, during all her troubles, to her nephew, the Kit go’ Spain, better known, historically, as Charles V. Emperor of Germany. These doeuments thn.wa new light upon a very Important period of English history, including nearly the whole of the sixteenth century, and the events of the Deformation In Eng land. In the volumes before ÜB, the leading subjects a« the deßlre of King Henry to obtain a divorce lrom Queen Catharine—the struggle with the Papaoy literary Criticism. thereon—the disgrace and fall of Woisoy, who had tried to st and well with the King and the Pope —the growth of the Reformation—the marriage of Henry and Anne Bolcyn—the withdrawal of England from raps) jurisdiction—tbs Irish rebellion—the execu tion of sir Thomas More—tho death of Queen Catherine. Close following It, are the aoousatton, trial, conviction, and execution of Anno B.leyn, and Henry’s marriage to Jane Seymour. These are ln._ terwoven, of course, In the consecutive narrative,' but the heroines of the story are Catherine, who never surrendered one tittle of Mr rights, as Queen and wife, and Boleyn, who had supplanted her, and,- as Mr. Fronde shows from lncontostlble evidence, was as frail as she was fair. The whole work Is a valuable addition to British history, and we trust that little time will be lost In bringing out the re maining volumes. We have only to add that w» have received Mr. Scribner’s publications from J. B. Llppinoott it 00., and they can be obtained from all publishers. NEWS OF LITER ATUHE. This day, T.

The oil Btockß show no Improvement. Insurance Stock has been very very profita. ble for the past few years. Business has been so brisk, housee so much in demand, and so hard to replace when destroyed, that owners were more watchful and anxlons to prevent fires. It is when factories and houses beeome Idle and vacant that insurance companies suffer most. At such tlmos the Insured makes more money by a fire than he can cut of the property. The following were the quotations for gold yes terday at the hours named 10 A. M 11 A. M 12 M 1 P. M 8 P. M 4 p. m The subscriptions to the 7-30 loan received by Jay Cooke yesterday (amount to ibeo.ooo, including one of *lOO,OOO from Boston; one of *lOO,OOO from Cin cinnati ; one of *85.000 from Portland, Me.; one of *20,000 from Davenport, Iowa; one of *40,000 from New Haven, Conn., and one of *BO,OOO from Eon don t, New York. There were 582 Individual Sub scriptions "of *so@loo eaoh. It was not expected by the Secretary of the Trea sury that the new series of the loan would sell as freely as the first and seoond series. The National Treasury, Indeed, Is In no Immediate need of money and It Is understood that the ourrent rate of sale of the new series yields ah income fully equal to the wants and anticipations of the treasury officials. Those who now postpone their Investments in the loan, hoping for a modification of the terms on which It Is offered, as regards the reservation by the Government of the Interest option, will as bui edly he disappointed. The Oil City Register feels confident that those haying Oil stocks and lands may confidently expect an Improvement In their properties during the early future. Among other oonoluslonß It reaches the following: “ Taking all the chanehes into consideration, we think that oil lands, and stocks In legitimate oil companies, are the best Investment extant. The gentlemen who have large amounts Invested in oil lands and stocks, of the quality we have desorlbed need have no fear as to the ultimate value of their property. It would seem to us, notwithstanding the high prloes that have been paid, that the real value of really productive oil lands has not yet be*n reached. The present depressed state of the market Is owing to oauses that will only prevail tempora rily. The development of the business, and the magnitude it has assumod, is so vast, that It pre vents a great many from comprehending Its true value. The financial affairs of the country, for the, pest few months, have passed a trying ordeal, and now the prospect is as fair as any reasonable person could" expect. In the oil region the de struction of property by the good was not only immense, but the retarding of operations by the disarrangement oi almost every Uno of trans portation in the country prevented miners from procuring the engines and material necessary to the prosecution of their work. The num ber of wells approaching completion has been lees than at any similar season of the year since the development began. As a natural consequence, the supply has decreased. For It Is a fixed fact that until a more econo mical system of mining Is adopted, the number of new wells requisite to keep up even the present supply, will have to be largely lnoreased each year. The tailing off in the production, the reasons for whloh are amply demonstrated above, has had a de pressing effect upon the relative values of both lands and stocks in the Eastern markets. We know that this will be temporary. The next sixty days will bring the Bnpply fully to the average standard. Then the market for these wifi become healthy and stiong. We can see no cause for anything bnt the brightest anticipations for the future of the petro leum business. The present season, we are fully confident, will be one of unexampled prosperity to the trade generally.” The following table shows the amount to he paid on eaoh day of the present week for eaoh descrip tion of the new Jnly and January seven and three tenths or ten- forty Government bonds.
