The above work is a delineation of the scenes and
incidents connected with the imprisonment, in 1862
of Manuel Pereira, steward of the British brig Juo
son, in the jail of Charleston, 8. C.
Th# following notice of this work is copied from tht
National lira of February 17:
"The above is the title of a work now in press
founded upon that infamous statute of South Carolina,
by which her citizens cluim a right to Imprison culuM
seMuun, of all nations, and. even those oust upon their
shores in distress. We have perused the book in ad
vance of its publication, and find that it gives a life
like picture of Pereira, the vessel in which he sailed,
the storms she enoounterod, and her wrecked condition
when brought into the port of Charleston, 8. C. j to
gether with the imprisonment of Pereira, several sea
men belonging to the New England States, and two
French seamen; the prison regimen, charaoter of the
Charleston police, and the mendacity of certain offi
cials, who make the law a medium of peculation. The
work is replete with incidents of Southern life and
character, pointing Southerners to the things that call
for correction at their own hands, with a force that
cannot be mistaken. The work is written by one who
has taken a prominent part in the affairs of the South,
and oannot fail to interest alike the general reader,
commercial man, and philanthropist."

" Rollo on tho AtLtnilc " is the first book of a se

Extract from the Preface:
" The books aro intended to be books of instruc
tion, rather than of mere amusement; and, in peru
sing them, tho reader may feel assurod that all the in
formation whioh thoy contain, not only in ros]>cct to
tho countries visited, and to the customs, usages, and
modes of life that are described, but also in regard to
the general character of the incidents and adventures
that the young travellers meet with, is in most strict
accordance with fact. The main design of the narra
tive is thus the communication of useful knowledge;
and everything which they contain, oxcept what is
strictly personal, in relation to the actors in the story,
may bo depended upon as exactly and scrupulously
true." Published by

ENGLISH LITERATURE OF THE 19TH CENTURY.
New Edition.
IP C. A J. RIDDLE, No. fi South Fifth street,
Philadelphia, have .recently published a new,
stereotype edition of
English Literature of the Nineteenth Century,
On tho plan of the author's " Compendium of English
Literature," and supplementary to it. Designed for
colleges and advancod classes in schools, as wel as
for private Trading. By Charles D. Cleveland.
The " Compendium of English Literaturo," by Prof.
Cleveland, comprises biographical sketches and se
lections from the writings of English authors, from
the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, chronologi
cally arrangod ; together with copious Notes, explan
atory, illustrative, Ac. The volume now advertised,
which is arranged on the same plan as the " Com
pendium," comprises in its list of authors such as
flourished in the eighteonth eentury, bat dial in the
present; together with those strictly of the nine
teenth oentury, whether living or dead.
The present edition of " English Literature of the
Nineteenth Century" contains biographical sketches
and selections from the writings of one hundred and
six authors, the names of twonty-seven of whom did
not appear in the table of contents of the former edi
tion ; together with many improvements throughout
the volume.
Prof C.'s two volumes of English Literature are
now extensively used as text-books in colleges, acad
emies, and the higher class of seminaries, throughout
the United States. The following opinions relntive
to "English Literature of the Nineteenth Contury,"
are selected from a large number equally commenda
tory of the work:
From Prof. Chtm wry A. Goodrich, D. D., of Yale
College.
" I consider Prof. Cleveland's ' English Literature
of tho Nineteenth Century ' an appropriate sequel to
his 'Compendium.' The author nai shown the same
ust and delicate appreciation of literary excellence
n this, as in the former volume; and, as it reaches
down to oir times, it will be still more interesting to
a large portion of the public, and especially to the
young. Few persons can under*tan<Twhat an amount
of reading, thought, nice discrimination, and labori
ous cot densation of knowledge, are requisite to the
production of such a work ; and just in proportion as
men toil more extensively in this field, will be the
estimate they will put upon this result of tho author's
labors."
From George B. Emerson, Esq., of Boston.
"I have examined your ' English Literature of the
Nineteenth Century,' and I like it exceedingly It
is extremely well and fairly done. The biographical
notice* are just and discriminating ; and, while they
are long enough to gratify the curiosity we have to
know something of an anthor, they are so spirited as
to awaken a desire to know more. The selections
are admirable. I have adopted the work as a text
book for my first class, every individual of which is
now preparing, under its guidance, to give a fuller
aooount of the writings of Some one chosen author."
From Rev. B. P. ApdeJott, D. D., of Cincinnati.
"I have examined with much cart, and still great
er pleasure, and, I trust, not a little profit, your
.' English Literature of the Nineteenth Century.' *
* It is, I believe, the richest collection of gems in
onr language. There is nothing in it I would omit,
and y?t it is not too large for popular use. Consid
ering the very brief limits to which you were obliged
to confine yourself. I am surprised at the fullness and
richness of yonr biographical detail*. Your most
difficult and delicate task, however, was the eritlcal
judgment to be p.irsed upen each author; and here
I think you hare been very happy?discriminating
and just, and yet kind. ? * But I would feel that
whatever I have *&id about the volume, however
true, ought to be considered ?s of little worth, could
I not add?as I cheerfully do?a stroig testimony to
its high moral tono and eminently Christian spirit.
The general reader c?nnot fail to be interested, the
student profited, the.scholar delighted, and the man
of piety pleased, with your ' English Literature of the
Nineteenth Cer.tnry.' "

Such ia our aim and expectation. Wo desire to see
tho Principle of Prohibition established in State after
State, till It bocomes tho recoghised policy of tho Na
tion. It is our ambition to bear a part in this groat
work, and to this end The Prohibitionist is estab
lished, not as tho organ ot a society merely, but of a
Okkat Rkkorma ioky MovKHKr^r.
Its Nkcsssitv.?Tho existing Temperanoe Jour
nals have little, if any, eiroulation outside of the Tem
perance Ranks. Their prioo almost necessarily re
stricts them tq tho friends of the oause. The Pro
hibitionist is designed for circulation (instead of |
troots) among tho indifferent and the hostile. For
this purpose it is put at a price so low as to enable
the friends of Teiuporance in overy school district, by
combined action and at an inoonsiderablo expenso,
to place a copy in oaoh family that will consent to ro
oeivo it.
Its Paten.?One copy for one year - - $0 60
Three, to one address, ono year 1 00
Seven do. do. - - 2 00
And for oach additional four copios, $1.00 will bo
added, for any quantity less than fifty copies.
For fifty copies to one address - - $11 00
For 100 do. do. - - - 20 00
No subscription received for loss than ono year,
and in every casq tho order must bo aocompanied by
the money.
The paper will be undor the general direction of |
the Executive Committeo, who have received ample
assurancos ofj literary aid trom not a few of the ablest
and most eminent writers -in the temporanco ranks
throughout the Union.
The work will be stereotyped, and back numbers
can be supplied to new subscribers at any time during
the year. .
All orders should be addressed to 0. Scovill, Pub

THE NEW YORK MUSICAL REVIEW
AND
CHORAL ADVOCATE
IS the cheapest and best Musical Paper in the
world. This Journal, which has heretofore been
published monthly, commences its fifth year in Jan
uary next, and thenoeforward it will be published
every two weeks?on every other Thursday; thereby
giving more than twice as much matter, without any
ncrease in priee. Each number contaiiA sixteen
quarto pages, four of which are new musio, consist
ing of glees, hymn tunes, chants, anthems, dedication
and holyday pieees, and, in short, every variety of |
music adapted to purposes of religious worship, to
public occasions, and to the home olrcle; all of which
will be of a practical character, and such as can be
sung by persons of ordinary musical attainments. In
the editorial department of the Review are engaged
(in addition to Mr Cady, the former editor) gentle
men of the highest talent and ripest musical experi
ence, among whom are George F. Root, William B.
Bradbury, Thomas Hastings, and Lowell Mason;
and its circle of correspondence, home and foreign,
is comolete. Tho Review will also be a regular me
dium for the announcement of new musical publica
tions by all the leading publishing houses in the
Union. The subscription list of this paper is now
larger than that of any similar journal in the world,
j and the new arrangements, rendering it the cheapest
! as well as {it is hoped) the most valuable musical
I paper ever published, must largely increase its al
ready unparalleled circulation.
Termt. ? One dollar per annum, or six copies for
five dollars, always in advance.
Qy The music alone in a volume would cost over
five dollars in tho usual form. Beside this, tnere will
be an immense amount of musical nows, essays, crit
icism, instruction, Ac., all for only one dollar! Ev
ery one feeling a particle of interesfin the cause of
music will surely subscribe.

Blackwood'B Edinburgh Magazine (Tory.)
These Reprints, have now been in successful opera
tion in this country for tumnty years, and their circn
lation is constantly on the increase, notwithstanding
the competition they enoounter from American peri
odioals of a similar class, and of numerous Eclectie.
and Magasines made up of selections from foreign pe
riodicala. This fact shows clearly the high estiraatioi
in which they are held by the intelligent readily
public, and affords a guarantee that they are estab
lished on a firm basis, and will be eontinued without
interruption.
Although these works are distinguished by the po
litical shade* above indicated, yet but a small portioi
of their contents is devoted to political subiocts. It
is their literary character which gives them their chiei
value, and in that they stand confessedly far above
all other jouhials of their class, lilurkicood, stall un
der the masterly guidanoe of Christopher North, main
tains its ancient celebrity, and is at this time unusu
ally attractive, from the serial works of Balwer and
other literary notables, written for that Magasine, and
first appearing in its oolumns both in Great Britait
and in the United States. Such works as " The Cax
tons " and " My New Novel," both by Bulwer; *' Mj
Peninsular Medal," "The Green Hand," and other
serials, of which numerous rival editions are issued b)
the les*ling publishers in this country, have to be re
printed by those publishers from the pages of Black
wood, after U has been issued by Messrs. Scott if Co.
so that lubsoribers to the Reprint of that Magasini

One Volume 12mo, $1.
TIIE objeet of thia Ule is to oxhibit in different
phases, in high life and low life, the accursed
effects of intemperate drinking, the bane of social
life the curse of civilised man. Tho characters are
well and sharply drawn, and tho various aconea are
described with much spirit and graphic oflect. * *
* Wo arc disponed to regard the book as the boat
of its kind that haa yet appeared.?lioston Drawller.
It is not often that we read a story of any kind,
but we have broken our praotico, and have read tins
book not only with pleasure, but with a gratification
which but very few novels have ever afforded us. It
is a quiet and simple, but still striking and effective
picture of American social life.?Chicago Tribune.
Written with marked ability.?Zantsville Courier.
A thrilling picture of the offects of that infernal
bane of social life, intemperuncc.?Richmond nil
ladiurn.
The style is attractive and fascinating ; there is a
freshnosx and originality about it, that is very pleas
ing. * * * One of its chief merits is the excel
lence of its conversations.?Enquirer.
Haa so many thrilling passages and well drawn
characters, thatyou read it with absorbed attention.
It cannot fail to achieve for Mrs. Collins an enviable
popularity. She takes us with her to the drunkard's
home, and tolls of the hunger and the fear, the toil
and the suffering, that are there. Shfc paints, with
a woman's delicate skill, the meok patiencc, the
long-abused, but unchanging love of the drank ard'a
wife, touches the doepeat chorda of the heart, and
makes them vibrate with pity and with indignation.
Christian Herald.
Though Mra. Collins haa already hosts of admi
rers of her literary productions, this work, we pre
dict, will Increase that number ten fold, and give
her a roputation worthy of her high talents.?Nao
Albany Tribune.
The style is easy, natural, beautiful, chaste, and
at times very eloquent. We would commend it es
pecially to young ladios, that they may aoe to what
dangers they are expoaed, in forming allianoea with
tho fashionable in high life.?Ohio Organ.
A deeply interesting and powerful work. It vivid
ly portrays some of the terrific oxploita of airong
drink in |)oth high and low life. Nor are auch scenes
as it depicts either imaginary or few. Let thia book
circulate. It has a bonoficent aim, and is the vehicle
of admirably old and most salulary lessons.?Pres

* * * -Has sketched it in its daintiest form of
fascination, as woll as in its giim and diamal aspect
of open degradation. Barely has a woman ventured
to hold the torch to such a dark rdceas of huiuau
woo.?Daily Times.
We know of no passage, anywhere, more uniq?.ely
beautiful, more intensely absorbing, more overpoW
ering in tho pathetic, than the thirty-fourth chapter.
It is indoed a gem. We doubt whether the celebra
ted ohapter devoted to the death of Kva, in Uncle
Tom's Cabin, is auperior. * ? * It ia certainly

Such a Paper is demanded by the Farming
Community,
The publishers confidently believe that the agri
culturists of this oountry are becoming too nmcli
awake to^ the demands of their own railing to bo
longer satisfied with the slow monthly issues of a pa
per professedly devoted to their interests, or to trust
alone to tho irresponsible extracts in a" farmer's
column," so popular jjuet now in papors chiefly devo
ted to businoss, politics, or literature; and they look
for the united support of ell the intelligent fanners
of this country in their continned effort lo furnish m
weekly paper of a high and reliable character, which
shall be progressive, and at the same time cautious
and conservative in all its teachings.
Essentially an Agricultural Paper.
I The Agnrulturi.it will not depart from its legiti
mate sphere to catch popular favor by lumbering op
its pages, with the silly, fictitious literature, and
light, miscellaneous matter of the day; it has a high
er aim; and a small part only of its space will bo
devoted to matters notiminediately pertaining to tho
great business of Agriculture. The household a#
well as the oat-door work of the farin will receive a
due share of attention. The humbugs and nontrums
afloat in the community will be triod by reliable sci
entific rules, and their wortblessness exposed. It is
the aim of the publishers to keep this paper under
the guidance ot those who will make It a standard
work, which shall oommanlcate to its readers only
that which is safe and reliable.
