Literary Reviews. TRAVELS IN ASIA MINOR. ‘The worid at large, and especially the learned of Europe, are partioularly interested by the ofa new work in Paris, which is entitled Asie Mi- meureou Description Physique, Statistique et Archa- logique de cette contrée—par Pierre de Tehthatchef—a Russian gentleman, whose eelebrity is quite Europe- an. This work is the fruit of three years of explora- tions made by the learned Russian traveller, already suffisiently well known to the public by his published labors, among which may bo mentiened his two great works upon the countries contiguous to China. Having ombraced within the cirole of his Studies all that was necessary to a complete picture of Asia Minor, the author has divided his work into two principal sections, to wit:—I. The physical Geecription; and 2. a general account, embracing the statietics, history, politics, national manners, and antiquities of that country, so little known, and which, by its remarkable position, ia destined to become again, as it was formerly, the great link be- tween the European and Asiatic worlds. The most important conquest which it would be possible for Europe to make of this magnificent country—upon which, at the present moment, all eyes are fixed— would bo to bring it within the knowledge of the public. This is what M. Tchihatchef has endea- vored to do; and it is one of the most impertant. and beld undertakings which any private individual, unaided by public authority, has ever ventured upon, The volume which is just issued is the first pertien ef the picture, representing the natural ox- ternal foatures of Asia Minor, and is entitled Geo- graphee Physique et Comparée de U Asie Muneure. It is confined to giving an account of the genera; configuration of the country—its rivers, its laxes, its miazerai wealth, its mountains, &c —offering, ‘on the ene haod, a comparison between the natural fea- tures of Asia Minor and those which characterise the ethor countries of our globe, and, on the other hand, presenting elaborate researches upon the changes which the surface and genoral appearance of this country have undergone since the earliest po- Tiod of whioh histery affords any record, down to the present time—the whole resting upon the testimony and monuments of all countries and all ages This volume, wifch is printed in a style af ele- ganee and richness worthy of its own importance and that of its subject, comprises 400 pages, grand ectavo, and is accompanied, first, by a map of Agia Minor, in two sheets folio, which has been con- structed out of materials entirely new or unpublish- ed, and which, for the present time, will present a true picture of that country, in regard to which we have so little authentic information; second, by fif- teem engravings on copper, of the same size with the text, reprocenting objects connected with the physical geography of that country; third, by twenty-eeven lithographs in quarto, representing the most remarkable sites in the country; and, lastly, by a portrait of the author, taken by moans of a new photographic process, from an original painting of the celebrated Russian artist, Charles Breelaw. All the drawings from which the engray- ings and lithographs are taken, wore made on the spet, and have been copied by the best artists of Paris. The work of M. Tchihatchef will soon be sent to the United States, and, though its price will be twenty dollars a volume, it will be bought by all the connoisseurs of the country. The first volume will soon be followed by those remaining portions of the work which are designed to complete the picture of Asia Minor, which will soon be completed imme- diately after the return of M. Pierre Tchihatchef from the East, whither he proposes going once again, at the beginning of the approaching spring. The work, when completed, will be composed of four volumes, and the publication will be brought te @ close in two years, or sooner. The other vo- yumes will scarcely exceed from $4 tu $3. Mesers Gide & Baudry, the well known publishers of Paris, havo undertaken the publication of M. de Tchi- hatchef’s work, and this is sufficient to cnsure that it wiil be a magnificent affair.

Sir—In due possession of your esteemed favor of the 15th inst., by which you desire that the subject of your circular of the 12th inst. might be brought to the notice ef the Imperial Government—the Aus- trian Consul General begs most respectfully to in- form you, that he has forwarded several copies of that cireular to his Excellency the Minister of Com- merce, at Vienna, accompanied by such remarks as the high importance of the subject demends. If the Austrian Consul General is to judge by the lively interest taken in the London exhibition, by the Austrian manufacturers and artists, and their great desire to participate in the trade of the United States, as it manifests itself at every opportunity, he would venture to say that their contributions to the New York Fair will be very considerable, and of a charaeter representing the state of manufactures of the country, as well as the fine arts. There is but little doubt, that the tendency of the New York exhibition, toward: an important improvement in the commerce and trade between Europe and the United States, will be greatly appreciated by public men on the other side of the Atlantic, and that, in a purely practical point of view, it will be acknow- ledged to present facilities for the introduction of new articles of merchandise, which could not possi- bly be attained by any other means. Your under- taking, therefore, enlists of itself the attention of those men whose duty it is to fucilitate the deve- ork. sm SarticEs. lopement of the national resources of the pe over whose offairs they preside, and it invites the enterprising man of business to exertion in your support, which promise to produce considerable mo- ral and pecuniary advantages to himself. The Aus- trian Consul General, in expressing his conviction that your enterprise, will mcet the most eatisfactory reception on the part of Austrian manufacturers, has the honor to subscribe, your very obedient ser- vant.

In communicating to you this imperial deter- mination, 1 am charged to beg you, sir, to be kind enough to give me dotailed information as to the formalities which will have to be complied with, as far as regards the forwarding of the products, aswell ag upon their arrival at New York, in order to avoid, by such preparatory measures, all kind of inconven\- ence that might result from ignorance of the regula- tions of the association.

Herel am, once more, at this charming empo- rium of fashion. It scarcely seems a month ago that I was in the same scones of excitement, fun, flirtations, courtships, &c.; but still, a whole year has actually rolled away, and although I now be- hold many familiar faces, and my cars are glad- dened by many of the same sweet and musical voices which then rang through these halls—yot many are absent—some are probably married, and have quieted down as staid matrons, while, possibly, others have become weary of too much pleasure. The Ocean House was never better appointed than it is this verything is in admirable order, and moves on ike clock-work. Mr. Weaver and his assistants, Deacon Olmsted, Mr. Hardon and Muster Ben, are very popular and give universal satisfaction But I cannot stay longer with preliminaries, for this splendid house bas a world wide reputation, and it needs no description and no at my hands. I know that all are impatient te have some acconnt of what is going on here and to hear all about our charming belles, bo We bave ao many of them here, that! scarcely know wheré to com- ing eyes speak their own * iss iy heed of Now York, is a young lady of scarcely eighteen summers; sho is very pretty, one of the best dancers at the house, and is making "iti Draper, ot Now York, is very pretty, sn r, of New York, is vei Se ee aT, wack a on nt a rac et one of the most sted bolee of the Ocean jrersh she is ttier than ever, receives even more attention, but i is more retired than ear. Her charms are ac- knowlenged by all, and her popularity is equal to her merits. Miss Sallie Tennant, of Philadelphia, is asspright- ly, pretty, and fascinating as ever, and receives a great deal of attention ; she dances well, and is much admired. Miss Richardson, a fair-haired belle from the Quaker city; she fooks Me much like Madame Anna Thillon, the celebrated vocalist, who is uni- versally acknowledged to be one of the handsomoest women in the ake & Mies Michler, of Easton, Penn., is here for the first time; she has hardly seen the roses of eighteen summers; she has a beautiful face, and her dark, piercing eyes, and bewitching manners, have sori- ously rear va matt a fluttering heart among eur young gentlemen. She dances well and drosses in good taste. She will certainly make a conquest be- fore the season is over, and Iam not gure that I shall not be tho victim, for her power is almost supreme. I shall soon have the pleasure ot knowing her, as I understand that she dares the “‘Spy” to speak of her, Mies Butterfield, of Washington, is a very pretty young lady. She isthe daughter of Judge Butter- eld, Corzmissioner of the Land Office. Miss Didier, of Baltimore, who will be remembered for her popularity last year; she is the best Polka | dancer at the Ocean. Tho two Misses Jarvis, of Middletown, Conn., are as lovely as ever; the bright black eyes of the one and the fair complexion, mild eyes and pleasing manners of the other, possess the same power as ever, and always gather a crowd of admirers around em. Miss Woolley, of Louisvillo, a western belle; she dances gracefully, dresses in good taste, is an excel- lent | aap and a great favorite; Louisville may well ud of euch a representative. Mrs. Dr. Sawyer, of Chicago, is a handsome, — eyed lady; she is a daughter of Judge Butter- eld. Miss Scott, the youngest daughter of the old hero of Chippewa, &c’, is a charming young lady; dig- nified, accomplished, and very agreeable, she is one of the chief attractions of society here. Next year she will grace the White House at Washington. The charming Madame Anna Bishop is here, and has been very successful in giving concerts, assisted by the world-renowned Bochsa, the greatest harpist of the age, and Siede, the celebrated flutist. I ful- Jy endoree all that you have in your columns in re- gard to the charmin, lame Anna ; her praise is on the lips of all, an HeddMegrd manners, rare accomplishments, and exquisite powers, make her an universal favorite. The glorious Germanians give their grand con- cert at the Ocean House this evening, and I am confident that the hall will be crowded, for py wil perform some of their most exquisite pieces. They are, if possible, more popular than ever; and Mr. Helmsmuller, their accomplished agent, is the fa- vorite of the house with the ladies ; indeed, the Germanians could do nothing without him. I shall be at the concert this evening, and shall note down the belles for my next letter. I have been intending to write this first one for several days past, but engagements here have prevented ; now that I am fairly started, I shall go on with the series, and you may expect to hear often from your old friend, THE Spy at THE OcgaN House. The United States Hotel, Boston. The general arrangements of this house are based upon a plan at once extensive and liberal, and it yet remains for Boston to erect a hotel that will surpass it in point of comfort and convenience. It has been thoroughly renovated throughout this spring, and is now in perfect order for the reception of visiters. It enjoys a high eke and has just been re- leased for aterm of yeurs to Colonel William H. Spooner. The corporation to which it belongs have replaced the old with new farniture, and the establishment, in every respect, is inferior to none other in the city. Everything is now in order, and the travelling pub- lic will find the United States Hotel all they can de- sire, with good bathing rooms, a reading room with all the leading journals in the Union; and car- riages, for pleasure and recreation, are always in readiness. The house contains about four hundred rooms, and is well ventilated. The ladies’ and gen- tlemen’s dining rooms are large and convenient, and agreeable in every respect. The table d’hote, or gentiemen’s dining room, will comfortably seat three hundred persons, and, with the ladies ordi- nary, is always suppliod with tne best the market affords. The house has five principal entrances, the largest and most convenient is on Beach street, two on Lin- coln street, and two more on Kinston street. It is situated at the termination of the Western, Worces- ter and Norwich depots, and very near the Fall River and Providence depots, and not far distant from the Northwestern and Eastern ts. It is the largest public house in New England, and per- haps, with one or two exceptions, the largest in the United States. It has in the interior four distinct capacious flights of stairs, rendering it perfectly se- cure in case of accident by fire ; besides, there ample supply of water, and hose fitted to the water ipes, and buckets kept in every part of the house Tied with water for constant use. There are two wings to the main body of the house, and hose can be attatched in any story of the wings to the main pipe, and the house flooded with water in s vory short time, if required. , The essentials of a hotel are comfort and convon- ience—not less than a good opportunity to transact business. It is within eight minutes walk of State street, and only two minutes to Washington street. The ladies, too, must be taken into theavcount, and all their little essentials be consulted; private par- lors, good attendance, and a thousand other conven- iences so requisite toa hotel. We hazard nothing in saying, that moro comfortable sleeping apart- ments for travellers, are not to be found in any other hotel inthecity. Let those who doubt it go andtry. The unremitting exertions of Colonel and Mrs. Spooner, to give satisfaction to all who visit this im- mense establishment, or are inmates of it, must be gratifying to them, who perceive their services are appreciated.

The hardships and privations we endured assure you, sir, Were very great; but it pleased Almighty God to deliver us safe out of our troubles. When I reached here I had but one dollar in tho world, and not a friend in this groat country, and the better part of my clothing destroyed, and stolen from me on board the ship. I have been unable to precure employment, in consequence of having lost my testimonials, and the party from whom I had them having died before Pitt Bog- land, I am unable to procure others. I was with Lieutenant Waghorn, R. N., for two years anda half. You are no doubt aware that he was the first Jag of the overland route to India. When he retired from business he obtained me an appointmentin the London Dock Company’s employ- ment, where I romained till June, 1851, ‘and should doubtless have remained there till now, as my con- duct, I believe, was uniform, and gave satisfaction to thore under whom I was a subordinate; but untoward circumstances, over which 1 had no con- trol, caused me to be discharged. A ycun brother ef mine was engaged in the sugar dey ment, London dock, and was subpoenaed as one of the principal witnoeses against tho company, in a trial brought by the Board of Customs against the company, for illegally evading tho duties. It coming to the knowledge of the Board of Direstors that 1 was rolated by the ties of consanguinity to one of the cipal evidences against them, I was immediately suspended, and eventually discharged.

Transactions were large, and a disposition was exhibited to put up some of the railroad stocks which havo lately been somewhat neglected. At the first board to-day, Erie Railroad went up 3 per cent ; Harlem, 3 ; Read- ing Railroad, 14 ; Norwich and Worcester, 14 ; Nicara- gua, 1; Canton Company, 134; Montgomery Mining, *{ ; Pennsylvania Coal Company, 144 ; Long Island,1 ; Utica and Schenectady, 3; ; Erie Bonds, 1871, 3; ; Erie Income Bonds, 34 ; North American Trust, 1. Hudson Rail- roud declined 3; per cent ; Dauphin Coal Company, 14, At the second board, Morris Canal advanced 3¢ per cent ; North American Trust, 34; Erie Income Bonds, \; Nicaragua, 3{ ; Canton Company, *< ; Hudson Railroad, 44 5 Erie Railroad, 4 ; Harlem, !¢. The market closed firm at our quotations, with an active demand for stocks generally. It is our impression that the movement will be steadily forward, and that prices considerably above those now current will rule at the end of another week or two, We shall have another arrival of gold dust from California in a few days. Tho steamer of the 15th of July, from San Francitco, it is estimated, would bring down nearly two millions of dust. This addition to our supply would have a favorable effect, as the exportations lately have been limited. The steamer from this port for Liverpool, on Wednesday, will take out about half a mil- lion of dollars, ‘The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, to-day, amounted to $144,022 39; payments, $42,985 76—~balance, $4,675,778 39. : Thereceipts of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company fo July, amounted to $112,879 52, against $69,756 97 for the fame month last year—increase, $43,122 55. Of the earn- ings for the month this year, $85,150 25 was for passen- gers, and $27,729 27 from freight. ‘The receipts on the Ohioand Pennsylvania Railroad for the month of July, were $25,247; and for the six months of the year, $125,118; since the opening of the road one year ago, $157,090; number of passengers carried since the first of January last, 108,629; total number carried since the opening of the road. 166,935. The road was opened from Pittsburg to New Brighton, twenty-cight miles, the Ist of August, last year; to Enon Valley, Pa- lestine, and Salem, during the fall months; and to Alli- ance. eighty-twomiles, in January last; and to Massillon, one hundred and cight miles, early in March. A furthor extension of the road, to the town of Wooster, the county seat of Wayne county, will be celebrated next weeek. Tke total tax levied in the State of Illinois for 1852, was $836,832 05, for the following purposes :—For paying the extraordinary expenses, interest on the school fund, &c , $20 56; for paying the State debt, $275,445 20; for paying the interest on the State debt, $206,709 67; In- sane Hospital tax, $44,151 75; Blind Asylum tax, $26,- 804 86—Total tax, $836,832 05. The population of the State, at the last census, was 851,470, so that the tax is at the rate of a fiuction less than one dollar to each inhabi- tant. The annual report of the Eastern Railroad Company gives the amount charged to construction and property accounts at $4.512 906 61—an increase of $574,126 28 over last year, arising mainly from the purchase of a majority of the stock of the South Reading and Saugus Branch Roads, and equipment for the former and Essex Railroad; aleo for the completion of the subscription to the Grand Junction and Depot Co., and for lands for an entrance into n proper. The liabilities, exclusive of capital stock, di- ds and Inccme account. are, to the State of Massachu- 5 tts $500,000; notes payable,$830,276 40; truckage account, $7,700 85—total, $1,877,977 25. The income for the year f om the road was $463,725 19; working expenses, $216.374 74; income from property, $22,248 12; surplus of former 268 53. Total reevipts, after deducting expenses, 2 0, from which has been paid dividends, $250,687 £0; interest, $32.81 47; renewals and damages, $7,048 09; leaving a surplus incom eof $5,530 33 In accordance with a yote of the stockholders, the directors have taken mea- sures to extend the road directly to Boston proper, with- out the intervention of a ferry. A branch has been sur- veyed from the Eastern Railroad in Chelsea, to a point ofintersection with the Grand Junction Railroad, and the work has been commenced in Chelsea. Land for a depot and station houses in Boston has been partly nego- tiated for, and it is believed the whole work may be com- pleted before the return of another annual meeting. The numper of passengers carried over the road during the Year, was 1,004,901, and the gratifying statement is male that not the slightest injury has resulted to any one. The official returns of the trade and navigation of France with her colonies and foreign countries, during the first six months of the present year, have just been published, the results of which, as compared with the same period in the previous year, are very favorable. Thus, the total duties recetved upon importations have been 69,002, 964f.; in 1851 they amounted to 54,655,101f, ; and in 1850, to 57,561,643f, The receipts for the first six months of this year, therefore, show an excess of 14247,- 803f. over the corresponding period of $451, and of 11,- 441,321 over that of 1850, A very large increaze is shown inthe importation of the various materials used for manu- facturing purposes, such as raw cotton, Wool, silk, indigo, cochineal, dye-woods, whale oil, copper. zinc, and nitrate of coda, In colonials there has also been @ very larg® increase In the imports of coffec and sugar, Soth of colo- nial and foreign growth. The principal decrease fs chown in lead, nitrate of potas, and olive oil, The import of linen thread and linens has been about the same as Last Year. In regard to exports, the returns afford evidence of an increased foreign trade, which is principally shown in the articles for which France has always found an ex- tensive demand abroad—such as wines, brandy, soap, printed cottons, linens, hides, leather, books, engravings: porcelain, and glass. In the export of grains, woollea yarn, and haberdashery, there is, as compared with 1861, a slight falling off ; a8 also in silks, plain calicees, and silk manufactures ; but the only important decrease is in the export ef refined sugar, which has been very mach below that of previous years, ‘The annexed statement exhibits the quantity and va- lue of merchandise exported (rom this port during the week ending the 7th inst., inclusive, distinguishing the destination and extent of shipments to each placo:— Commener or tHe Portor York, Weeery Exronrs, Flour, bbls. .20,110 $526 % 1,004 13 700 16 91, 100 17,317 200 16 1,000 6,400 48, Sarsap'la, bis. 17 375 Clocks,cares.. 30 430 Books, cases.. 9 387 ‘Whb’ne, Ibs.10,096 PaMieay iyons9 sro vceseruveluesenpenyuc tee $223,377 LIVERPOOL Cotton. bls. $87,088 Ser. stecl,eks, 2 $42 Flour, bbls. 3 Furnt’re, pkgs 2 = 176 ¥, Metal, bils. 81 7 Wheat, bu. .64,002 53,167 ZONE... +. 2 300 ©, Bones, caks, 37 500 Cobalt, cases.. 10 3,500 Furs, pkgs... 2 077 Rep'g Machne 1 106 Lith. prints,cs 2 220 + 12,025 $13,181 Cotton, bales. 445 $16,834 C’d bones, cases, 42 $218 Ashes, bbis.... 17 448 I.

Total value of merchandite exported ‘Total value of epccie exported Total exportation, first week in August, 1852... $1,004,281 The shipments of breadstuffs last week, from this port to ports in Great Britain, were unusually large, amount- ing to nearly one half of the aggregate exportation for the week. This is a very extraordinary movement for the reason, particularly in the face of the re- ports from Kurope, relative to the corn markets. and the favorable condition of the growing crops, By the steamship Pacific it is reported that the pros- pect never was better fora fine harvest, and the grain muikets were consequently dull and depreased, This is not calculated to give much encouragement to shippers of breadetufis on this side of the Atlantic, but did not, it seems, deter them from sending forward large supplics. Shipments of cotton have fallen off largely lattorly, and the effect on the Liverpool markets is visible in the last steamer’s advices. We notice in tho above table ship- ments of coal to China and the Sandwich Islands, propa- ratory to the establishment of a line of steamers between Canton and San Francisco, This line will soon be in operation, when we shall get advices from the East Indies, via the Isthmus, in about forty days. 100 tiyy krrie Con bde 2 5 Garl wu a os ugte 2 a bch Re etertee RR 10 Obto I & Trupt., 106 2 lo WO ¥igemon® tas Co.
