The a nova work ia a delineation of the scenes ano

of Manuel Pereira, ateward of toe British brig Jan
sou, in the jail of Charleston, S. C.
The following notice of this work ia oopied from th>
Nat urn a/ Era of February 17:
"The above ia the title of a work now in press
founded upon that infamoua statute of South Carolina
by which her oixizeus claim a right to imprison eolorm
tnum n, of all nations, and even those oast upou theii
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 encountered, and her wrecked condition
when brought into the port of Charlestou, S. C.; to
gether with the imprisonment of Pereira, several aea
men belonging to th^ New Kngland States, and two
French seamen ; tho prison regimen, character 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, pointiug Southerners to the things that call
for correction at their own hands, with a force thai
oannot be mistaken. The work is written by one who
has taken a prominent part in the affairs of the South,
and cannot fail to interest alike the general reader
commercial man, and philanthropist."

Extract from the Preface :
''The books nro intended to be books of instruc
tion, rather than of mere amusement; and, in peru
sing them, the reader may feel assured that all tho in
formation which thoy contain, not only in respoct to
the couutries visited, and to the customs, usagos, 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 striot
accordance with fact. Tho main design of the narra
tive is thus the communication of useful knowledge;
and everything which they contain, except what ia
strictly personal, in relation to the actors in the story,
may be depended upon ns exactly and scrupulously
true." Published by

CLEVELAND'S
ENUUBH LITERATURE OF THE 19TH CENTURY.
New Edition.
C. A J. BIDDLE, No. 8 South Fifth street,
J? Philadelphia, have recently published * new,
stereotype edition of
English Literature of the Nineteenth Century,
On the plan of the author's "Compendium of English
Literature," and supplementary to it. Designed for
colleges and advanced classes in schools as wel as
for private reading. By Charles D. Cleveland.
The " Compendium of English Literature," by Prof.
Cleveland, comprises biographical sketches and se
lections from the writings of English authors, from
the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, chronologi
cally arranged ; together with copious Notes, explan
atory, illustrative, Ac. The volume now advertised,
which is arranged on tho same plan as the " Com
pendium," comprises in its list of authors such as
flourished in the eighteenth oentury, but died in the
present; together with those strictly of the nine
teenth century, whether living or dead.
The present edition of "English Literature of the
Nineteenth Century" contains biographical sketches
and selections from tho writings of one hundred and
six authors, the nainos of twenty-seven of whdm did
not appear in the table of contents of tho former edi
tion ; together with many improvements throughout
the volume.
Prof. C.'s two volumes of En?lisb 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 relative
to "English Literature of the Nineteenth Century,"
ars selected from a large number equally commenda
tory of the work:
From Prof. Clmunny A. Goodrich, D. D., of Yale
College.
" I consider Prof. Cleveland's ' English Literature
of the Nineteenth Century ' an appropriate sequel to
his 'Compendium.' The author na< shown the same
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
yoang. Few persons can understand what an amount
of rsadiog, thought, nice discrimination, and labori
ous cot densation of knowledge, are requisite to the
production of such a work ; andjust in proportion as
men toil more exb nsively in This fluid, will be the
estimate they will put upon this result of the author s
labors "
From George B. Rmertott, fwy., of' Host on.
"I have examined your ' English Literature of the
Nineteenth Century,' and I like it exceedingly It
is extremely well and fairly done. Tho biographical
notices are just and discriminating; and, wnilo they
are long enough to gratify tho cariosity we have to
know something of an author, they are so spirited as
to awaken a desire to know more. The selections
are admirable I have adopted the work as a text
hook for my first daas, every individual of which ia
now preparing, under its guidance, to give a fuller
account of the writings of some one chosen author."
From Rev. H. P. AydeUtt, D. D., of Cincinnati.
" I have examined with much care, and still great
er pleasure, and, I trust, not a little profit, your
' English Literature of the Nineteenth Century. *
* It is, I believe, the viehett collection of gemt in
our language. Tbrre is nothing in it I would omit,
and yet it is not too large for jnrpnlar use. Consid
ering the very brief limits to which yon were obliged
to confine yourself, I am surprised at the fullness and
richness or your biographical details. Yonr roost
difficult and delicate task, however, was the eritioal
judgment to be pi seed up.n each anthor; and here
I think yon have been very happy -discriminating
and jest, and yet kind. * * But I would feel that
whatever I have said about the volume, however
trpe, ought to be considered i s of little worth, could
I not add?as I cheerfully do?a stro g testiiqony to
its high moral tone and eminently Christian spirit.
The genersl roador cannot fail to be interested, the
student profited, the scholar delighted, and the man
of piety pleased, with your ' English Literature of the
Nineteenth Century.'''

A REFORMATORY PAPER FOR CHILDREN.
THE JUVKITTLE INSTRUCTOR
Edited by Untie Lmius, SyraaiAe, N. Y.
THE want of a paper for children, of a reformatory
character, has long been felt. The juvenile pa
pers of our land do not meet the demands of the com
munity. They please the eye and interest the ?>ad?*.
but do not instruct and enlighten the mind with ret
erence to the great sins of the day. Reformers The
Juvenile Instructor Is Intended to meet this demand.
It is the paper for children?for Sabbath sehools and
Day schools. .
The Instructor is published erery other week, or
twenty-si* numbers per 7??. A new volume com
mences January 6, 1854. A Corresponding Editor
has been secured. Her writings for children are al
ready known and admired by many. Illustrations
will be riven ia every number. No reasonable ex
pense will be spared to make it attractive. Five thou

Itb Pi Ki.n.?Dealing with gcnoral principles, with
arguments alike applicable to every community where
the traffic exists and with facts illustrative of these
arguments and principles, the paper will be rfatiomu
iO its spirit, in its saope, in its purpose, and, we trust,
it will be National in its circulation and iniiuonce.
Suoh is our aim and expectation. We desire to see
tho Principle of Prohibition established in State after
State, till it bocoines tho recognised pojicy of the Na
tion. It In our ambition to bear & part in this groat
work, and to this end The Prohibitionist is estab
lished, not as the organ of a society merely, but of a
Great Reformatory Movkmiint.
Itb N?c*8BITV.?Tlio oxisting Temperance Jour

perance Hanks. Their price almost necossarily ro
stricts them to tho friends of tho cause. Thk Pko
htbitionist is designed for oirculution (instead of
tracts) among tho indifferent and the hostile. For
this purpose it is put at a prioo so low as to enuble
the friends of Temporance in every school district, by
combined action and at an inconsiderable expense,
to placo a copy in each family that will consent to re

and most eminent writers in the temperance ranks
throughout tho Union.
Tho work will be stereotyped, and back numbers

THlTNElir YORK MUSICAL REVIEW
AND
CI10RAL 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
??ry next, and thenoeforward it wUl be published
every two weeks?on every other Thursday; thereby
giving more than twice as much matter, without any
increaso in price. Each number oontains sixteen
quarto pages, lour of whieh are new mnsic, consist
ing of glees, hymn tunes, chants, anthems, dedication
and holyday pieoes, and, in short, every variety of
musia adapted to purposes of religious worship, to
publio occasions, and to the home oirele; all of which
will be of a practical character, and suoh as oan 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 eirele of Jorrespondence, home and foreign,
is complete. The 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,
and the new arrangements, rendering it the cheapest
as well as (it is hoped) the most valuable musical
paper ever published, must largely increase its al
ready unparallelod circulation.
Termu. ? Ono dollar per annum, or six oopies for
five dollars, always in advance.
Q^- The music alone in a volume would cost over
five dollars in the usual form. Beside this, tnere will
be an immense amount of musioal news, essays, orit
icism, instruction, Ac., all for only one dollar! Ev
ery one feeling a particle of interest in the cause of
music will surely subscribe.

THE WEAL AND WOK OF SOCIAL LIFE.
One Volume 12mo, SI ?
THE objeet of this tale is to exhibit in different
phases, in high life and low life, tho accursed
effects of intemperate drinking, the bane of social
life the curso of civilised man. The characters an
well and sharply drawn, and tho various wenes are
described with much spirit and graphic offect. * ?
* We are disposed to regard the book "the best
of its kind that has yet appeared.?Button Traveller.
It is not often that wo read a story of any kind,
but wo have broken our practice, and have read thin
book not only with pleasure, but with agratifloatM.il
whioh but very few novels bavo ever afforded us. 11
is a quiet and simple, but still striking and offectivo
picture of American social life.?Chicago Tribune.
Written with rnarkod ability.?Zanetville Courici.
A thrilling picture of the offocts of that infernal
bane of social life, intemporanco.?Richmond Pat
ladtui'
Tho style is attractive and fascinating ; there is m
freshness and originality about it, tliat is vory pleas
ing. * * * One of its chief merits is the oxcol
leuco of its oonvorsations.?Enquirer.
Has so many thrilling passagos and well-drawn
characters, that you read it with absorbed attention.
It cannot fail to achieve for Mrs. Collins an enviable
popularity. She takos us with hor to the drunkard'o
homo, and tolls of tho hungor and the fear, the toil
and the suffering, that are there. She paints, with
a woman's delicate skill, the meek patience, the
long-abused, but unchanging love of tho drunkard's
wife, touches the deepest chords of the heart, and
makes them vibrate with pity and with indignation.
Chrittian Herald.
Though Mrs. Collins has alroady hosts of admi
rers of her literary productions, this work, wo pre
dict, will iucreasc that number ton-fold, and give
hx<r a reputation worthy of her high talents.?New
Albany Tribune.
The stylo is easy, natural, beautiful, chaste, and
at times very eloquent. We would commend it es
pecially to young ladies, that they may see to what
dangers they are oxposod, in forming alliances with
the fashionable in high life.?Ohio Organ.
A deeply interesting and powerful work. It vivid
ly portrays some of tho terrific exploits of strong
drink in both high and low life. Nor are such scent's
as it depicts either imaginary or few. Let this book
circulate. It has a beneficent aim, and is the vehiole
of admirably old and most salulary lessons.? Pret
byterian.
* * # Has sketched it in its daintiest form of
fascination, as woll as in its giiin and dismal aspect
of open degradation. Rarely has a woman ventured!
to hold the torch to such a dark recoss of human
woe.?Daily Timet.
We know of no passage, anywhere, more uniquely
boautiful, more intensely absorbing, more ovorpow
ering in the pathetic, than the thirty-fourth chapter.
It is indeed a gem. We doubt whether the celebra
ted ohapter devoted to the death of Eva, in Uncle
Tom's Cabin, is superior. * # * It is certainly
the most powerful temperance tale that we have ever
perused.?Journal atul Mettenger.
Beautifully written. * * * A work of groat

* * * The incidents dramatic, and the inter
est intense to the end.?Ohio Statetvum.
Wields an easy pen, and skotohe* men and man
ners to the life.? Vretbyteruni Herald.
Graphic, truthful, chaste, and deoply affeoting, the
story winds itself into our footings, and we bocouie
absorbed in the plot, as if we boheld before our own
eyes tho realities of the author's delineations.?Dai

Such a Paper is demanded by the Farming
Community. /
The publishers confidently believe that the agri
culturists of this country are becoming too. muoh
awako to the demands of their own calling to bo
longer satisfied with the slow monthly issues of a pa
per professedly devoted to their interests, or to trust
alone to the irresponsible extracts in a "fanner's
column," so popular just now in papers chiefly devo
ted to business, politics, or literature; aud they look
for the unitod support of all the intelligent farmers
of this country in their continued effort to furnish a
weekly paper of a high and reliable character, whioh
shall be progressive, and at the samo time cautious
and conservative in all its teachings.
Essentially an Agricultural Payer.
The Agriculturist will not depart from its legiti
mate sphcro to catch popular far&r by lumbering up
it* pages, with the silly, fictitious literature, and
light, miscellaneous matter ot the day; it has a high
er aim; and a small part only of its spacc will be
devoted to matters not immediately portaining to the
Igreat business of Agriculture. The household at
well as tho out door work of the farm will receive a
due share of atlentinu. The humbugs and nostrums
afloat in the community will be tried by reliable sci
entific rules, aud their worthlescness 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 readecs only
that which is safe and roliable.
An Independent Journal.

merits; and the truthfulness, seal, and ability,
which it brings to the support of the intorests of the'
farmer. It is untrammeled by any collateral busi
ness oonnectiens whatever; nor is it the organ of any
clique, or tho puffing machine of any man or thing.
Thoroughly independent in all points, its ample pa
ges are studiously given alone to tho support and im
provement of the great agricultural class.
