The following notice of this work ia copied from th?

"The above ia the title of a work now in press
founded upon that infamous statute of Koulh Caroliua
by which her oitiaens claim a right to imprison mlurn,
smhuh, of nil nations, and even those cast upon theii
shores in distress We have perused the book in ad
vaiiue of it* publication, and find that it gives a life
like pioturu ot Pereira, the vessel in which he sailed
1 he storms she encountered, and her wrecked condition
when brought into the port of Charleston, 8. C.; to
guthcr with the imprisonment of Pereira, several sea
men belonging to the Now England States, and twi
Flinch seamen; the prison regiiuen, character of thr
(ftirleston police, and the mendacity of certain offi
oiula, who make the law a medium of peculation. Th?
work is replete with incidents of Southern life and
oharacier, fainting Southerners to the things that call
for correction at their own hands, with a force thai
cannot be mistaken. The work is written by one whr
has taken a prominent part in the aQ'uiraof the South
and cannot lail to interest alike the general reader
ooiniuercial man, and philanthropist."

formation which they contain, not only in respect to

modes ot lilo 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. Tho main design of the narra
tive is thus the communication of useful knowledge;
and everything which they contain, except what is
strictly personal, in relation to the actora in the atory,
may be depended upon as exactly and acrupulouslv
true." Published by

F ?' * ?f?DLE, No. fl South Fifth street,

stereotype edition of
English Literature of the Nineteenth Century,
On the plan of the author's " Compendium of English
Literature. ' and aiipplemcntary to it. Designed for
colleges and advanced classes in schools as we! as
for private reading. By Charles D. Cleveland.
The ' Compendium of English Literature," by Prof.
Cleveland, comprises biographical sketches and so
lections from the writings of English authors, from
the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, chronologi
cally arranged; together with copious Note*, explan
atory. illustrative, Ac. The volume now advertised,
which is arranged on the same plan as the "Com
pendium," comprises in ita list of authors such a*
nourished in the eighteenth century, bat dtfd in the
present; together with those strictly of Uie nine
teenI h century, whether living or dead.
The present edition of ' English Literature of the
Nineteenth Century " contains biographical sketches
and selections Cram the writings of one hundred and
six authora, the narno of twenty-seven of whom did
?"t ap|iear in the tnhle of contents (if (he former edi
tion ; together with many improvements throughout
the Volume.
Prof C.'s two volumes of Enflish Literature art
now extensively used as toxt-books In colleges, acad
emies. and the higher class of seminaries, throughout
tlio I 'uited States. The following opinions relative
to " English Literature of the Nineteenth Contury,"
are selected from a large number equally commends
lory of the work:
From Prof. C/uiunrrt, A. Gootlrirh, D. />., of l'a/r
Votlr.gr.
" I consider Prof. Cleveland's 'English Literature
of the Nineteenth Century ' an appropriate sequel to
his Compendium. The author nai shown tho sum*
just and delicate appreciation of literary excellence
in this, as in the former volume; and, as it reaches
down to our times, it will be still more interesting to
a large portion of the public, and especially to the
young Few persons can understand what an amount
of reading, thought, nice discrimination, and labori
ous coi densation of knowledge, are requisite to the
production of such a work , and jnst in proportion as
m?n toil more extensively in this fieltl, will be the
estimate they will put upon this result of the author s
labors."
Prom Grorge ft Rmrrmtn, Kfq , of'tlotton.
"I have examined your ' English Literature of the
Nineteenth Century,' and I like it exceedingly It
is extremely well and fairly done. The biographical
notices are jnst and discriminating , and, while they
aro long erough to gratify the curiosity we have to
know something of an author, fiey are so spirited as
to awaken a desire to know more. The selections
are admirable. I have adopted the work as a tefct
noak for iny first ciass, every individual of which is
now preparing, under its guidance, to give a faller
account of the writings of some one chosen author.''
From Rev. B. P. Afdilott, D. P., of Cineimmtti.
" I have examined with much care, and still greats
er plearure, and, I truat, not a little profit, your
English Literature of the Ntnete*Dth Century.' *
* h is, I believe, the rirkrM ro/ltrlion of gemn in
our hvgrmge. Thers is nothing in it I would omit,
and yet it ia not too large for oofruJnr use. Consid
ering the Very l.ri?f iiu.it* to wV.ich you were obliged
to confine yourself. I am surprised at the fullness and
richness of your biographical detail* Your most
difficult and dell *ate task, however, waa the critic*!
judgment to be psseed up n each author; and here
I think you have been very happy?diacriminalirg
and jnst, and yet kind. * * But I would feel that
whatever I hare said ahont the volnme, however
true, ought to be considered ss of little worth, could

tivo Committee of the Now \ork Stute Temper
ranee Society, will issue the first number of a Month
ly 'i'einporance Journal, under the title of" [hi Pko
hi HITIOMIHT."
Ith Sizk.?It will bo printed on a doublo uiodium
sheet, making eight quarto pages, of four oolumns to
a page; and, excluding advertisement*, each number
will contain an amount of rewliug matter equal at
leant to that furnished by our larger sixod dally jour
nal*, or to that of an ordinary duodecimo volume of
150 pagan.
Its Objkct.?To advocate tho Cause of Tein|>er
anoe generally, and especially the Legislative Prohibi
tion of tho Traffic in Intoxicating Beverage*, to pre
pare the mind* of tho masses for *uch Prohibition, by
showing its expediency and Necessity, and to secure,
bv all the influence it may legitimately exert, tho
vigorous onforceuient of Prohibitory Law* whou ob
tained.
Its Field.?Dealing with general principles, with
arguments alike applicable to every cpiuiuunity whore
tho traffic exists and with facts illustrative of these
arguments and principles, the paper will be Nut to nut
in its spirit, in its soopo, in its purpose, and, we trust,
it will bo National in its oiroulatiou and influence.
Such is our aim and expectation. Wo desire to see
the Principle of Prohibition established in State after
State, till it become* the rocogniaod policy of tho Na
tion. It is our ambition to boar a part in this great

Great It kit ohm a to kv Movkmkmt.
Ith Nbcicssitv.?The existing Temperance Jour
nals have little, if any, circulation outside of the Tem
perance Hanks. Their prico almost necessarily re
stricts them to tho friends of tho cause. Tiik Pro
hibitionist is designed for circulation (instead of j
tracts) among tho indifferent and the hostile. For
this purjioso it is put at a prioe so low a* to enable
the friends of Temperance iu every school district, by
combined action and at an inconsiderable oxpen.se,
to placo a copy in each family that will consent to re
ceive it.
Its Piticx.?Ono copy for one year - - $0 60

the Executive Committoe, who have roceived ample
assurances of literary aid trom not a few of the ablest
and most eminent writers in the temporanco ranks
throughout tho 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. Soovill, Pub

THE 1EW YORE MUSICAL REVIEW
AND
CHORAL ADVOCATE
IS the cheapest and best Musical Paper in the
wprld. This Journal, which has heretofore been
published monthly, commences its fifth year in Jan
uary next, and thenoeforward it will bo published
every two weeks?on every other Thursday; theroby
giving more than twice as much matter, without any
increase in price. Each number contains sixteen
quarto pages, four of which are new music, consist
ing of glees, hymn tanas, chants, anthems, dedication
and holyday pieces, and, in short, every variety of
inusio adapted to purposes of religious worship, to
public occasion*, and to the home cirole, all of wnich
will be of a practica^cbaracter, and such as can be
sung by persons of ordinary musical attainments. In
the editorial department of the Review are engagod
tin addition to Mr. Cady, the former editor) gentle
mon of the highest talent and riocst musical experi
ence, among whom are George P. Root, William B.
Bradbury, Thomas llastings, and Lowell Mason;
and its circle of correspondence, home and foreign,
is complete. The Review will also be a regular me
diuin 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,
and the new arrangements, rendering it the cheapest
as well as (it is hoped) the most valuable musical
paper aver publisbod, must largely increase its al
ready unparalleled circulation.
Trrmt. ? One dollar per annum, or six copies for
Ave dollars, always in advance.
(jy The music alone in a volume would cost over
five dollars in the 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 foeling a particle of interest in the cause of
music will surely subscribe.

These Reprints have now been in successful opera
tion in this country for t wenty years, and their circu
lation is constantly on the increase, notwithstandini
the competition they encounter from American peri
odicals of a similar class, and of numerous Eclectic
and Magazines made up of selections from foreign p?
riodicals. This fact shows clearly the high estimat>oi
in which they are held by the intelligent reading
Eiublic, and affords a guarantee that they are estub
ished on a firm basis, and will be continued withou
interruption.
Although these works are distinguished by the po
litical shades above indicated, yet but a small portioi
of their contents is devoted to political aubiccts. I.
is their literary character which gives them their cbie
value, and in that they stand confessedly far abovi
all other journals of their class. BlaeJcwotd, still un

tains its ancient celebrity, and is at this time unusn
ally attractive, from the serial works of Bulwer aa<

first appearing in it* columns both in Great Britait
and in the United States. Such works as " The Cnx

Peninsular Modal," "The Green Hand, and other
serials, of which numerous rival editions are issued bj
the leading publishers in this country, have to be re*
printed by those publishers from the pages of Black

THK WKAL AND WOK OF SOCIAL LIFE.
(hie Volume 12rno, SI.
THK objoet of this tale is to exhibit in different
phusux, in high life and low lifo, the acoursed
effects of intoiuperate drinking, the bane of social
life, the curse of civiliiod man. The characters arc
well aud sharply drawn, and the various scenos are
described with much spirit and graphic effoct. * *
* Wo are disposod to regard tho book as tho best
of its kind that has yet appoarod.?liosion Traveller.
It is not often that we read a story of any kind,
but wo have broken our practico, and have read thic
book not only with plousuro, but with n gratification
which but very few novols have ever afforded us. It
is a quiet and siiuplo, but still striking and effective
picture of Auiericaii social lifo.?Chicago Tribune.
Written with marked ability.?Zanesville Courier.
A thrilling picture of the effects of that infernal
bane of social life, inteiaporance.?liirh nmnd J'al
ladmrn. t-wt.-i;
The style is attractive aud fascinating; there is a
freshness and originality about it, that is very picas
ing. * * * One of its chief merits is the excel
lence of its conversations.?Enquirer.
Has so many thrilling passages and well drawn
characters, that you read it with absorbed attention.
It cannot fail to achieve for Mrs. Collins an enviable
popularity. She tukos us with her to the drunkard's
home, and tells of tho hunger and the fear, tho toil
and tho suffering, that aro there. She paints, with
u woman's delicate skill, the meek patience, the
long-ab(ued, but unchanging love of the drunkard's
wife, touclics the deepest chorda of the heart, and
makes them vibrate with pity and with indignation.
Christian Herald.
Though Mrs. Collins has already hosts of admi
rers of nor literary productions, tbis work, we pre
diet, will increase that, number ten-fold, and give
ber a reputation worthy of her high talents

The style is easy, natural, beautiful, chaste, and
at times very oloquent. We would commend it es
pecially to young ladies, that they may soe to what
dangers they are exposed, in forming alliances with
the fashionable in high life.?Ohio Organ.
A deeply interesting and powerful work. It vivid
ly portrays some of the terrific exploits of strong
drink in both high and low life. Nor. are such scene)'
as ilrdepicts either imaginary or few. Let this book
circulate. It has a boneficent aim, and is the vehicle
of admirably old and most salulary lessons.?Pres

* * * Has sketched it in it* daintiest form of
fascination, as well as iu its grim and dismal aspect
of open degradation. Rarely has a woman ventured
to hold tho torch to such a dark recess of human
woe.? Daily Time*.
We know of no passage, anywhere, moro uniquely
beautiful, moro intensely absorbing, more overpow
ering in the pathetic, than the thirty-fourth chapter
It is indeod a gem. We doubt whether the celebra
ted chapter devoted to the death of Rva, in Undo
Tom's Cabin, is superior. * * * It in certainly
the most powerful teinpcrauoe tale that we have ever

Periodical of sixteen large quarto pages, making

sine of those in the first ten volumes of the Agricul
turist.
It is beautifully printed with type cast expressly

or, bound together.
A copious Index is weekly added, which will b?

mg, which transpires either at home or abroad, and

the Planter, the Fruit-Grower, the Gardener, anij .
the Stock-Breeder; thus making it the most com

Suck a Paper is demanded by the Farming
Community.
The publishers confidently believe that the agri
culturists of this country are beooming too mueh
awake to tho demands of their own oalling to b?
longer satisfied with the slow monthly issues of a pa
per professedly devoted to their interests, or to trust
alone to the irresponsible extract* in a "fanner's
column," so popular just now in papers chiefly devo
ted to business, politics, or literature; and they look
for the united support of all the intelligent fanners
of this oountry in their continued effort to farniah a
weekly paper of a high and reliable character, which
shall be progressive, and at tho same timo cautious
and conservative in all its teachings.
Essentially an Agricultural Paper.
The Agriculturist will not depart from its legiti
mate Sphere to oatch popular far or by lumbering up
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 be
devoted to matters not immediately pertaining to the
great business of Agriculture. The household as
well as the out-door work of the form win receive a
due share of attention. The humbugs And nostrums
afloat in the community will be tried by reliable sci
entific rules, and their worthleasness exposed. It is
the aim of the publishers to keep this paper under
the guidance of those who will make It a standard
work, which shall communicate to its readexs only
that which is safe and reliable.
An Independent Journal.
The A mrrtrun AgnrvJivritU stands upon its own
merits; and the truthfulness, teal, and ability,
which it brings to the support of the interests of the
farmer. It is untrammeled by any oollateral busi
ness connections whatever; nor Is it the organ of any
clique, or the puffing machine of any man or thing.
Thoroughly independent in all points, its ample pa
ges are studiously given alone to the support and im
provement of the great agricultural elan.
