With the extension of the trade, sessions of the sales were also established in New York and at Hooton. The experiment at Boston was eventually abandoned, after a protracted effort to pander to the pro- vincial ambition of that locality, at the expense of the trade at large. The current trade sale, which closes here ‘this weekc, marks an important epoch in the literary pro- gress of the country, as it will be probably the last occa- sion of @ divided session of our national literary fairs. The sale at Philadelphia will hereafier be discontinued, as the entire business is about to be concentrated in one eon- yention-only, to be held semi-annually in New York. The expediency of this change is obvious in point of conve- nience, and it is only the intriguing pertinacity of the Philadelphia booksellers, in their effort to maintain the delusion of an ascendancy which has long since dieappeared, that has forced upon the trade the embarrassment and losses atiending the sales in that city for some years paat. ‘The commercial and social tendencies of the whole country with respect to New York, its unequalled facilities for trade, and its rapid achievement of metropolitan pre cedence, would inevitably compel the centralization o° abrogadion of the Thuladephia trace sales i bat one ot al ie ry de sales is but one of tee aeaiionné signs of the times, like many similar move- ments Bow developing, @ litte forced by ihe pressure of the recent revulsion, Purchasers who reach here from the remote towns in the interior refuse tobe humbugged end put to a woek’s extra and delay for a forced sale of duplicates in }’hilade! which they can buy inone lot by waiting forthe New York sale. ‘The priority of time has been considerately allowed t> the Philadelphia sale heretofore, and the New York session commenced only upon the close of its rival. In more prosperous sea sions this dodge bad the effect of collecting an attendance of buyers, and gave the Philadelphia prologue a chance to be heard. Now, when economy is the order of the day, the buyers determined that the paying of one botel bili and saving of a wock’s time must be heeded, and with thiv idea in view they pretty generally waited for the New York catalogue. The books are usually the game on both catalogues. The assombiage of a ful! competition of the buyers is a vital object, of course, where the sale is conduct- ed atauction. Of thesmall number who attended the Phila- delphia sale many acted upon the economical principle, and did not come to New York, thus deteating the object of Doth sales and causing addtional damage and discour- agement, at a time whea every ofort should have been braced against the do] mg tendency of the times, The bent that can be raid of tho sale just closed In this eity is that it realized tbe expectations of the contributors; in other words, it fully voritied their fears.

Moore was the first writer who relieved Irish history from the dryness of chronological detail which marked the works of ita cartier aunalists. His rich pootical imagi- nation invested it with attractions which rendered it readable to a large-class of persons, who would otherwise have felt no interest in the traditions to which he bas given such a romantic coloring. Seen through the me- dium thatvhe presents to us, Irish history offers a vyory different aspect from that which it bears in the works of Keating, M. Geogehan and others. Mr. Kirker has, therefore, rendered us a sorvice in reprinting Moore’s in- teresting volumes. In typographical beauty and accu- Tacy they surpass, in our opinion, the original edition.

A bat enmed, of short duration, in which Cobos and Telmant-- ‘anos were defeated. The federal four pieces of artillery and considerable amamni- tion.
