THE °DOHERTY PAPERS of the late William Mac gins, L:L.D.' Annotated by Dr. Shelton Mac kenzie„ Editor of "Shiel's Sketches of the Irish Bar," "The Noctes Ambrosiante," &c. In two volumes, 12m0., pp: 376; pp. 483. New York: Redfield: 84 Beekman Street. 1865. We have already adverted to the extraordinary talents of Dr..Maginn, in our notice of the fifth volume of his papers, which Dr. Mackenzie is investing with a peculiar charm by his editorial • ;labors: These volumes'are chiefly occupied with . the papers which he contributed to Blackwood's Magazine. Maginn was a perfect store-house• of learning. He never forgot what he heard. His information was always ready at command. His facility in writing was truly wonderful, and whether he prepared a paper for publication in Latin verse, in imitation of Monkish rhymes, in French, German, Greek, or Italian, his work was done at once currents calomel, without any more trouble than the mere manual labor of putting it on paper. The literary world never saw any thing more wonderful • than his rendering into Latin poetry of the old poem of Chevy Chase, 'which formed his first contribution to Blackwood. It is hero given in volume L, pp. 191-2 R. Among his failings must be ranked an utter dis regard to his own fame, and hence the import.. ance of a competent editor to do justice to the varied productions in poetry, classics, antiquities, history, criticism, polities, and fiction, which in such wonderful abundance flowed from , his pen. To American readers many of his most piquant and telling allusions would be unintelligible, were it not for the admirable manner in. which Dr. Mackenzie has executed the task of editor. His _lntimate knowledge of the scenes and parties re ..4erred to; enable him to perform thiz.duty in a .. ..manner which could not be excelled by any other writer. SIMMONS Preached before the University of Cam bridge. By Rickard Cheneriz French, D.D., Dean of Westminster; author of " Synonyms of the Nei Testament ;" "The Study of Words ;" "English, Past and Present;' "Proverbs;" "Poems;" "Calderon," &c. 12m0., pp. 137. New York : Redfield. 1867. The titles of these Sermons are: 1. Christ the Only Begotten of the Father ; 2. Christ the Lamb of God; 3. Christ the Light of the World; 4. Christ the True Vine ; and, 5. Christ the Judge of all men. We are glad to see such a fullness of doetrinal statement in the sermons of Dr. French, as appears in the third sermon of this eourse.on the Atonement, in which vicarious sub stitution and plenary satisfaction are clearly taught. We would modify some statements in the fourth sermon; but, on the whole, they are conch more evangelical than the great mass of the pulpit exhibitions of the party in the English Church, to which Dean French belongs. NATIONAL RIGHTEOUSNREIB AND NATIONAL SIN, the substance of a Discourse, by Rev. A. L. Lindaley, South Salem, N. Y. The law of God is Ono, and Nations are as really bound by it as are individuals. A people, in their collective capaeity, have no , right to do that which would be wrong in an individual, unless it be in the punishment of eviLdoers, and in claiming services and prOperty for the general good ; and, in all this, they are to proceed Strictly on the principles of the moral law.

When> Sodom-and:its confederate tow,ns were destroyed, a molten sea was cast, upon which was written, in letters of fire, Jeho vah's wrath against those finally given up • by a striving Spirit. The words, were ,in scribed to be read in after ages. Prophets, Apostles, and the Son of God, in the days of his flesh, all point to them, whenever they speak of the overthrow of the cities of the plain. But 'frequently the disashr: which came upon the house of Lot, is either named; or intimated in connexion with the mention of the sad closing scenes'of the history of the. Pentopolis; thus • giving a unity of impression from the conjoined his. tory which we havein theae chapters' of the Bible. In this manner we shall view this part•of sacred history. Lot and 'his numerous family had joined Abraham, when; at the call of God, he emigrated to Canaan. But it is too evident ' to admit of a doubt, that an earthly, and not a heavenly country, Wal-in a' great measure - the inttneneing motive of the resolve to join - the household of the father of the faithful. Like those fed by miracle, who were ready by force to make Jesus king, while they looked upon him as a temporal Saviour, but who went away offended when he announced himself as sent'to redeem from sin ; so the house of Lot, when it was evident that " the better country," i. e., the heavenly, was the chief object of Abraham's search, soon found reasons for a separation. We are told that disputes between the servants or sub jeots of the two patriarchs was the cause which led to the settlement of Lot in Sodom. But, could we lift the curtain, we . might perhaps see that the servants of Lot were only carrying out the indifference shown by their master to the views and hopes of Abraham. Though they were . mistaken as to a total dissimilarity of aim by the two pastoral beads of families; yet, they did not miscalculate as to the ability to consummate a plan of separation, and to mark out another path for • them selves. Thus, Lot removes to the wicked, yet fertile ad populous plain of :Siddim, and settles in Sodom, its most important, and perhaps wealthy city. ' , Though we are not told that by ~ h is exchange of pastoral for city VW,. ha„,:pro- I meted nis wealth, yet it appears to ;b e inti mated that, at the sacrifice of principle, he . got for a time to himself great honor. His daughters are selected as wives by the men of the place. He is allowed to sit as judge, at " the gate of the city." His rescue, along with other. captives ,from .Chedarlaomer,' by Abraham, who would be looked upon in Sodom as a remarkable war rior, may have contributed much to• the deference paid him by all classes. Never, perhaps, until the evening of the visit of the angela r had.he heard words uttered against his character, and the propriety of t his course. For, though "his righteous soul was vexed from day to day by unlawful deeds," yet he seems to have concealed his 'disgust from the men of the city, , and even from his own house, and to have shown a readiness to treat kindly the wicked in the midst of crime., His conduct on the evening before the overthrow of the cities, points in.this direction prettrplainly. The sight of angel messengers such as he had seen when his house was -with God, as one with Abraham's, roused into activity his dormant and stifled feelings of piety. The strangers must abide in his` house for the night,. But the clamors of the mob soon cloud the sunlight that shines for a little.. while. He cannot bear that word shall be _ carried back to Abraham, arid others whom he respects, that he has violated the laws of hospitality, and treated unkindly, .men of God who have come to his house. ~.fEst.does not wish a suspicion to be whisperedin•the ears of the pious as to his piety. Ho,looki at • matters a little differently from oorne• others. He believes he can be righteous, and do great good to the 'ungodly, by get ting and keeping popular with them. So " he shuts the door after him," and between him and his pious guests; and lays aside the garments of piety to assume the clothing of a man of theworld--e, ven of a shrewd politician; courting' popularity by pandering for the wickedest principles of. depraved hu manity. Yea,*the feelings of the father, as .. well as the principles of virtue, are offered as a sacrifice at the shrine of .Popular favor. But the men of Sodom, as the wicked.some- times do, showed that their • hatred to piety, , was greater than their love of lust; Lot. : • must, therefore, - either avow himself a good man, and true to principle, or delivering up the pious guest's whom' he had,inirited to his house for the night, he must take sides with the Sodomites, in direct and 'open conflict with Jehovah and his laws. ' While Lot was hesitating, .he was pulled • into the house by the hand of the angels. This opened the way for the miracle of, blindness—at once a figure of the blind ,infatuation of a mob in every age of the world, and a sign from , Go& to' strengthen. the"Werik:faith of Lotand . .. Ins two daughters. With such'feeble exhibition of the inner , life which Lot did possess, we need not wonder .that. he was not made the instrument of salvation to his wife, children and ser vants, or , to' any of the inhabitants of Sodom; and that even the two daughters, who mith him escaped the general destruc tion., should blur over their own and their father's piety, by an act which, but for the faitlifulnetis of the saered historian in describing sinful human nature just as it is, would have been omitted as too,' humiliating terhe , narrated. Thus the servants and all the children except the two, sink, unnoticed' • and unnamed, with , the multitudes of the doomed - cities. It is said of. Methuselah, the oldest man of the antediluvian, age, " and he died." This death took place i the .• year of, the deluge, ,and is, recorded-as an exhibition of the Oommon ravage's . of .the messenger which sin has sent into. the , world, to exact his wages. So here, though • 'Lot's wife did escape sinking with others to. the bottom of. the Salt Sea, yet, looking back, she was overtaken by the fire of Je hovah, by which, smothered and stiffened as she stood, by saline, incrustations, she be came "a pillar oflialt"—a more striking monument of the judgments of God against , the:highly privilegedrilio::turn stheir hacks . upon the mountain - tit snlety, than if she . had been buried iii..the4onimon calamity.

Thus, upon the shore of the lake of. Sodom, a pillar is reared, and upon it is chiseled, in bold relief, a scene of awful, yet instructive interest. In the back-gronnd, part of the family and all of the numerous servants of Lot are sinking, with the masses of Sodom, amid flames pointing down from heaven ; sinking into bubbling, burning, bituminous waters. In ,the foreground %ap pears the wife of Lot, arrested, as she, had turned her face Sodomward, by a latni:ent flame which reaches out fromits fellows,.all of which pour down from Jehovah out of heaven; while Lot and his two daughters are hurried on; by the assistance • of angels' hands, to the little, city.
