The elements for its over- Sores a5 ace pet agitation ; and the clique obtained power, of retaining it for any length of time, give ives ‘to the sole rotates: ge Tilgg agar , through anticipa’ upon public wee and ill concealed jobs among their fa 1 POLITICAL PARTIES AND PRINCIPLES. These political cliques, which here take the name of partiesx—but, as I have already explained, have Mttle organized support among the muss of the popu- Iation—represent the elements of the great social and political struggle which ia going on bere. The Sdeas of the age, and the vested interests of privi- Ieged classes, are engaged in a conflict which must eventually result in victory to the former; but whe: ther i will be a victory of destruction and anarehy or simply one of reorganization, no one can foretell. The several great divisions that are carrying on this eonflict are here ranged in the following manner:— The puros isthe general name for all who look spon the church as the great element of reaction and revolution, and whose p»licy is directed to the break- ing up of ecclesiastical corporations aud pnivileges, the tion of the xtanding army, the establish. ment of a federated constitutional government, and arenes #0 faras possible, imipating the United They have little or no party organization, and per the leading men who entertain these geners! risteiples there is great diversity of opinion as to eas 'y and measures that should be pursued. This ie the reason why, when they*have been nomi- paily in power, they have done so hittle in the path of action which they advocate. As @ general resuit from personal observation here Iam convinced that the ideas of this party are gaining grouud among the population, aad that they posexs greater vitality than any other. The measures of the Lerdo law against the charch roperty has created among the passive classes of the commenity e pecuniary interest in the success of the which waits only 4 favorable moment to it itself. Iam also assured that among the Jower classes of the population there is a growing disrexpect tor the c! wy In contemplating the pos- sibility of foreign aid, party looks to the United Btates for assistance in izing Mexico. In open hostility to the puros are the conserva dors, which is, in fact, party of the clergy. Their policy ix simply one of preservation of the old inetitations, first among wie = = poche & eccesiastical corporations. To this they have the maintenance of the army, with special privi- leges, and their policy of government is to return as pearly ax possible to the old colonial «ystem. The States are to be reduced to departments, depending upou the central government, and everything inao- vasing upon the old order of thing» is to be resisted. This ix the party now in power, and it counts among its supporters Many men of strong intellect bub not of administrative capacity. It has not been abe yet, after two months, to ae a complete eannet, no one being found willing to take the Treasury Departm The fiscal system of the re- lic has in fact ever been organized on a perma- pent basis, and the treasury is the great cunme and eascer of Mexico, ‘Aw @ political party the conservadores exhibit more nigns of organization than any other here. An attendance upou the church ceremonials and proces- sins ix cited by them as an evidence of popular strength, and every exertion is made angwent it. Trivate invitations W attend are circulated in profu- aon on the oceasion of the church festivals, and per- anal efforte are made—not by the higher clerzy rectly— but through the adininistrators and stew- wis of the ecclesiastical pe ny hry are laymen. In this way they getup a larger Stendanee, and of a better “ase ‘of people, at the @lebration of church solemnities than Ihave ever wen in any other part of Spanish America or in ent, in. The opponents of the church here insixt that this atendance is brought about, not from any sympathy with the party or it« principles from motives of private interest. The corporations interested are extensive house owners, and their tenants hope by arquiescing in the wishes of the steward in this matter to obtain from him repairs and favors which tmants everywhere desire. They are aleo lane kenders on mortgage, and through thi« have @ lar ufivence ‘As T have already stated, the aim of the con dren ie to resist innovation. They are now fig ing the battle as though they believe they can yr erve the possessions of the church and its political iftnence; but I find among the best men warty that, in view of the great stragcle going on inet the temporal organization of the church in sanish America, they entertain little hope of suc- sew, and believe that a few years will sweep every- thing away. unless they can find some means of preservation. ‘One of their dreams, with this Object, has been the idea of a European intervention and the estal- lishment of a monarchy here. A very limited num- ber, but the most nowy of the party, look to a simple Spanikh intervention. Others again hope for « joint intervention by England, France and the United States. Some of the Buropean ministers have lent themselves actively to these projects, but they never have taken a feasible and practicable eharacter Between these two ies there is another which dtylen iteel! moderado. Ita peculiar characteriatic ia that it always wishes to modify every principle or licy #0 a# to make it acceptable to ita opponents, “a party it has no organization whatever nor principles of its own. [ta watchword ix“ — mise,” and with this the clique composing it n comes inte power through the exhausting conten- tions of other parties. : There are besides these many petty cliques which follow some individual leader, but the great repre- wentative of these is what is called the Santanista party. The Santaniatas have no principles of their own, but are held together by the cohesive power of blic plunder, After being a little time in power The become plethoric and timid, a8 was the case in rt ‘ ao year Santa Anna fled + ted ye coun try, having a well organized and equipped army ot 38000 men under his command, when his opponents did not command, all told, 5,000 ill.armed troops. After a couple of years of retirement they became again voracious, and set to work, as at the present time, when they are promising all things to all men 4 a condition of the recall of theirchie!. All parties hate them, but they are strong in the army, which they court and flatter at all times, ‘rom these cursory remarks it will he seen that there is going on here a struggle between the ideas of the age and the theories and titutions of the past. But it is a struggle with ‘ont ization or great leaders, and presents tha far only an inherent power of destruction, while it is impotent to organize and establiah. The effect is seen in the disintegration of the republic, whieh Ihave already painted, and above all in the demoralization of society, which leads every man to distrust his neighbor and to entertain no confidence in his “frend. THR FUTURE OF MEXTCO! It isthe conviction carried by this state of thing, which I have endeavored to present in a concise manner, that has led many of the ablet men in Mexico to love all confidence in her futare. Do Lucas Alaman, ove of the clearest thinkers aud best NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1858—TRIPLB SHEET. writers of the country, closes hia “History of Mexi- co” with the following mournful prophecy:— Mexico will doubticss bea prosperous coumry, for its it promise it; but 16 will mot be so for the whabst it, Itseeme as if it were destiny the ations which bave sett io it ip different periods of time should ¢ from i, leaving hera'y @ remembrance of their ¢xistence, ax the peopiec that bait the edifices of Palenqae and owers which we admire im the peninsuly of Yucatan pas boon destroyed; no one knowmg what it was nor how it disap peared, a8 the Toltecs perished by the bande of the Savages from the North, leaving no other memorai than the pyramxis of Choiuis and Teotihuacan; aad, finally, as ‘tbe ancient Mexicans fell beneath the power of we sarde, the country gaivimg greatly by this change of do- Miniog, bur 48 former pussessors becoming surjecis to apother. So also the present iwhabitants wil! decome ruined, without receiving even that compassion which their predecessors obtamed; and there may be applied to the Mexican people of our day what the Latin poet said of one of the most famous persons of Roman hiswry:—Slat magni nominis umbra—tbere remains only the shadow of former iusérious times. I do not cite these words because I have found Teason to agree with Senor Alaman. He was an in- fide] in the political ideas of America, and believed that salvation for the nations existed only in the monarchical system of Europe; a system which his clear reason told him can never be established in any country in the New World, and much less in Mexico, which is in such close proximity to the giant republic of the North. Other writers in this country as‘ able a3 Senor Alaman entertain different views from him, and burture hopes which he refused to cherwh. Oue of these, Reape) ideas ae already made on Lents upon the country, and who may yet plough it wit! prolific furrows of thought, thus closes an aduress to hia count upou “the political and social condition of Mexico,” published soon after the war with the United Btates:— But if, as we fear willbe the case, we Hearn nothing from the severe lesson we have received—if we are to go on in ip ail things a9 beretofore—if the base mteresw of peTeons OF Corporations are to prevail over the trae inte- rests of the country—if the army and the goveroment officers, instead of being the servants of wociety, are to continue to be its tyrants and xe executioners—if the clergy are till to wm the policy of the country m order to prevent Ks advance—if tne government 6 to be forever solely endea' to meet exigencies of tbe day without consiiering of the tuture—if the adm- uistration of justice 40 ovntinue as beretefore, aud criminals to walk triumphant m society—if industry apd commerce, instead of bemg prosected, are to be siways outraged with heavy and urjust’ burthes, to maiptain @ muliitude of idlors who wisb to live without work—if the pubic debt, instead of receiving Wat organi- zation that would transform it into an element of order and prosper oust always remaip in that chaos jo whed DOW is 1 savely the avarice of greedy and miserabie specuiat the ame contracted ideas which bave bitherto prev s\eo in regard $9 foremners are will to con tinue fo tha: ‘bey cannot settle freely among a8, por take any interest 10 (be advance of the country, and, tinaliy, W our usual pronunciamientos, Waring dewn and puttin, up goveroments eve@y three months w order to satisfy all the discontented who sim at living upon disorder, aad tae number of whieb must tocresse prodigiously in view of the impunity enjoyed by the distur ders of public order; then it will be absolutely necessary that overy senaibie Mexcap, and ai) those who have anything ‘o ivse, anali become convinced of the truth, however sed 1; may be. ‘This truth will be that we cannot go on alone & 8 uabou, apd that we sball peed, a+ ieast for some years, ihe sup port or the armed intervention of some foreiga Power.

And this is the result that the peopleyf Mexico look forward to hopetully, ‘Tired and disgusted with the constant pickerings of the politicians aud the army, the great mass of the people are much more disposed to acquiesce ia foreign intervention than are those who govern to admit it. I have conversed with all classes ou the subject of the evils that afflict Mexico, and among them all, aud without a single exception, the only expression of coufidence and hope has been in something to come from abroad. j meaner and social disintegration which existe here, destroying not Koen hen Sp yea of the republic but the very cohesion o| ene rhe rng evident to the great mass that does uot ime: with omy or is more readily admitted by them than the public men; yet these jatter do not deny the facts which meet one at every turn, and acknow- ledge that intervention must come souner or later.

Until that thme the coustant struggles which have been witnessed in the past for the sesmon of the government will be continued, w! the power of government wo resist the elements op- poeed to it will become daily weaker and weaker. While it is at present powerless to maintain in- ternal peace, it is utterly so to impose upon the rapacious local rulers in the distant quarters of the republic a@ due respect either for the general Pea or for the international obligations of e country. Pri®ute property is not respected, and the representatives oi foreign governments, when claiming the rights of their fellow citizens, are not heeded, if indeed they are not insulted. With sufficient elements of public wealth the con tracts of the nation with foreign citizens, and even with foreign governments, are not fulfilled, and have little chance of being fulfilled, oy A 4 be en forced by an exhibition of power. interest on the English debt has not been paid for tive years and the payments stipulated nay never ve resummed again unt) the republic is reorganized through | foreign aid.

A wpirit of guerrilla warfare ia springing up in Many portions of the country, where a thirst for rapine, covering itself with the mantle of political aolorngag threatens the most destructive evils to wociety. ¢ roads everywhere are in possession of = rubbers, aud the government caanot put them pwn. What with this danger on one side, and the inter. Tuptions canred by the civil contentions, the trade of the coontry is paralyzed; and with the contine- ance of the present condition of affaira merchants ard traders are disabled trom fulfilling their obliga ne. It is the opinion of men well versed in the business of the country, that should no improvement occor in political affairs, there will not be o solvent merchant in Mexico within two years. lustead of a tendency toward stability there is evi- dently a continued advaner im another direction. The rancor of parties throughout the country is im- creasing, and should there Le no foreign support af- forded to some @overnment in Mexico, there is every provpect and probability that the aid of private ex peditions from the United States will be sought and btuined. The exp eof Nicaragua may yet be repeated bere, even in a more disastrous degree. in these contests the church property must con- | tinue to be the great and constant olyect of attack, both on the part of its enemies and its friends—by the former with the hope of spoil, and by the latter under the plea of resources for defence. The digni- taries of the church are well aware of this, and see in foreign intervention the only hope of avoiding de- struction » are a few of the many reasons that have been addnved to me here why a foreign intervention is an- ticipated and hoped for, and they will aot fail vo have weight with the rest of the world. There only remains for cunsideration the questiens who #hould intervene, and how such a step should be carried out. As thix report haa extended to a much greater length than I had intended, 1 shall limit myself to a few suggestions merely. WHO SHOULD INTERVENE IN MEXICO, AND HOW IT SHOULD B® DONE. It is natura) that each of the different interestaand parties in Mexico should desire an intervention favor- able to itself and its ideas, Thus one aspires toa purely European intervention, another to one parely American, and still another to a combined intervea- tion by the great Powers of Burope and America. The first principle upon which such an interven- tion should be based is undoubtedly that of consis tency with the existing order and tendency of things in Mexico, combined with a due protection to domes: tic and foreign interests. Besides the fact that an exclasive European pro- tection would find itself in conflict with the taterests and the policy of the United States, my observation bere leads me to believe that it would be ui direct o, position to the impulse of this republic, which toward a political and social reform in @ republican sense. An exclusive European intervention would therefore give rive to new and ter contlicts, and thus fail in extending peace protection to either the domestic or the torvign interests invoived. A joint protection by the great Powersof America, and Kurope is a thing probably too elaborate and complicated to be readily attained of succesfully carned out. It would, moreover, be inconsistent with the true policy of the United States, which ig- pores @ participation with Buropean Powers in inter- veuition in American questions. Intervention by the United States fa therefore the only practicable one in the present emergency. Properly initiated and carried out, it would be ac- cepted by all parties here, and would redound to the advantage of all interests, Am evidence of the readiness of the country to accept such an interven- tion is seen in the avidity with which the present government sought its recognition by our Minister, and the deep regret with which that recognition was and still is contemplated by all who are opposed to the existing order of thing». The policy upon which such a etep should be based seems to me tobe that of giving support and strength to a federal representative form ot government, and impressing npoy jt a foreiga policy based Upou the faithful fulfilment of all existing engagements, and a domestic one which, while it favored the tendency of the country toward reform, respect the rights of hfe in being. Koch @ support can only be attained by bringing to the uid oF the government here a foreign foroe, hound in some way to the government of the United Btates to secure its red and to give it a moral in- fluence beyond ita intrinsic strength, and by easing to this government some form of guaranty whit shall enable it to obtain the means of raisin, equipping this force, aud to meet the exige! of the Btate for a time, while it reorgauizes its system of revenue. For the carrying out of these measares I would suggest that a convention be entered into between the governmenta of the United States and Mexico, by which the former agree to grant a furlough for a certain number of years to a stipulated number of the officers of the ‘American army, who, in conjuction with other citi- zens of the United States, shal) be authorized to raise and equip in the United States a body of mili- tary colonists for a limited term of service under the government of Mexico—the officers of the arm, ies thie furlough and appointment to hold their allegiance to the government of the United States, and to be bound to it to support and carry out the terms of the convention between the two governments, That ail contracta made between the Mexican overnment and these officers and citizens of the nen: Bases for aren Cr for the of money for use of the Mexican ie be recognized and included in Tae convention be- tween the two governments, and their fulfilment guaranteed by Mexico through such international stipulations as may be found % f such @ convention were made I am induced to believe that all the pecuniary resources requi- site could be found here, and in the United States the men for the enterprise would not be lack ing. Bot in order to establish and carry ontsuch an intervention the initiative must be taken here; and the success of the negotiations, complicated as they must necessarily be, will Ce ager upon the character, bag pers tact and ability of the representative of United States in Mexico. An intervention founded upon such a policy as I doubt net would be readily admitted ey this epee loubt not w lic, and acceptable to the foreign ppd pais ote Unless something of the kind is established, I see 20 other hope for Mexico than to goon in the path of demoralization and disintegration she is now pur- suing, until anarchy shall have swept away the exist- wg order of things and pre; the for the advent of new communities and a new empire. LJ The march of civilization ia treading close upon the northern border, and it is a march which Knows n@mercy for the theories and forms of bygone times. Mexico, imbued as she is with the it and institutions of the past, cannot keep pace with the mighty changes of an age in which steam is the common carrier of matter, and electricity of thought, unless she accepts thore reforms consonant with the political axioms of the age, and opens wide her doora to the peaceful developement of commerce and the mechanic arts.

LONDON: TRUBNRR & CO, {From the London athenwum, April 3.] The old “ Encyclopedia Americana,” the publi- vation of which commenced about twenty years ago, had bat slender claims to its distinctive title. It was edited by a German editor, Francis Lieber, and nine- tenths of it were a translation, honestly acknow- ledged, from the German “Conversations-Lexikon”— the fruitful mother of a large family of cyclops: dias. It the American publishers considered it no infringement of literary courtesy to change the title of the book they borrowed, they had soon an oppor- tunity of extending the indulgence they claimed to a Glurgow publisher, who took the liberty allowed him by the state of the law of appropriating as wuch of their property as be thought worth taking, and circolating an improved edition in Great Britain under the title of “The Popular Cyclopadia.” “The New American Cyclopedia” will apparently far surpass its predecessor in dimensions. Its first volume curries us just about as far into the alphabet as the first half volume of the “Encyclopedia Ameri cana,” the set of which was to extend to a dozen, but went one beyond. In place of drawing the main body of their information from one source, the edi tors acknowledge in the preface their “ special obli- gation” to three—to the French “ Biographe Générale” of Didot, to the German “Univ Lexi- kon” of Pierer, and “to the ‘Enghsh Oyclopedia,’ edited by Mr. Charles Knight, whose in some instances, have been drawn upon for useful information.” They state, also, that numerous other encyclopedias and dictionaries of various kinds have been “diligently consulted and compared.” Building on this foundation ‘ ‘The New American Cyclopedia, the publishers do not hesitate to say,” iu a widel; circulated adverti-ement, “will be superior in extent, variety and exactness of information to any similar publication in the English language.” ‘Lhe boast is asomewhat too lofty one under the circumstances. Ot cyclopsedias, surely the very highest class is that which is compiled from o1 authorities and com- of original articles, bringin; ther informa- jon that was never brought together before. There are two cyclopedias of this kind now actually in course of pyblication in the Englixh language: “The English Cyclopedia,” an improved edition of “ The Penny Cyclopedia,” to which the American.editors acknowledge their ‘‘indebtellneas,”-to use an Ameri can perere, and the “Encyclopaedia Britannica,” to which, with all its shortcomings—which the Athe- naum hus sometimes felt it its duty to point out—a large tribute of praise is undoubtedly dae. It would be scarcely just to put into competition with works like these a compilation from compilations, a cyclo- pedia of which the main contents were only skil- fully poured from one bottle into another, even if the bottlebolders had been remarkably judicious and painstaking in the execution of their task. Part of the new cyclopedia has, however, we are told, been taken trom “recent biographies, histories, books of travel and scientific treatises,” and “many of the writers employed upon this work have enriched it with the fruit of their persoual researches, observa- tions and dixcoveries.” By an unfortunate arrange- ment, no reference is given in any case to thesources from which any particular article is derived, 80 that those which claim to be original can only be discov- ered by conjecture. They appear to be chiefly thove on .‘Almack’s,” “The Agapemone,” and other subjects os seen econ connected with either America or England. ‘the number of articles in the first volame of “The New American Cyclopedia” is unusually large, al- together about 2,500 in 752 pages, or on an average more than three to a page. By far the ter num- ber are of ap historical and biograph character, and science ix not at all so prominent as usual in English cyclopedias, though there is an article of some length au animal magnetism, pronouncing in its favor, aud one on anthracite, to which there are a few wood cuts, the only illustrations in the volume. Of the biographies by far the largest and most ela borate are those on American names, and these are at once the newest and the most valuable featare in the work. ‘The life of John Quincy Adams occupies eight closely pene double columned pages, and that of bis tather thirteen. ‘ The biography of liv- ing citizens of the United States,” said the preface to the old “Encyclopedia Americana,” “ has for ob- vious reasons been omitted, but the reader will find ap account of our most distinguished toreign cotem- poraries.” The most obvious reason for omitting articles of this kind was the convenience of the com- pilers; are glad to find that in the new dia they are to be inserted for the quite as obvious reason Of the satisfaction of the reader. The Ger- man “Conversations Lexikon” was, we believe, the first general cyclopedia which introdaced the bio- graphies of living men, and “The English A eng dia,” the first English work of its clags to follow the example. We know of no # and more able way of acquiring a general knowledge the state of modern cotempor literature than by the perusal of a series of good biographical articles on cotemporary authors, and it may, we think, be put on record during Mr. Dickens’ lifetime that he is author of the “Pickwick Papers,” and has made a tour to America without incurring the reproach of betraying secrets. e The main staple of the new cyclopwdia is, aa we have stated, a large quantity of short articles. The first and obvioox effect of this peculiarity is to make the book very dry reading. If these notices, how- ever, comprixed {he real pith of what is known re- specting the subjects they relate to, of course their sbortoere would be a recommendation, and we should feel grateful to those who had compressed so much into so small a compass. We have tested some of the articles here and there with the view of ascer- taimng how far this was the case, and the result has not been satisfactory. Let ux examine a single no- tice, sufficiently brief to be quoted entire:— Aimquist, Kari Jonas Ladwig, @ Swedish writer, boro in 1798, who began life as @ politician, bat soun left politics for the charms of e primitive mode of life in tho Swodish forests. After this be tried the pulpit, but the sphere of ibeok gy 414 not afford sufficient scope W be espirativns, and be eventually devoted himsel! to literawure, woere be bas a realy gained some distinction by & collecticn of ro- mantic poems, the most celebrated of which ia the “Dorn- rowepbuscb.”” He bas written varions elementary works op bistory, geography, &c., io addition to grammars and wexicoux, abd bes likewise Composed two epic poems, mebemse-ei Nibar” and “Arthure Jagi,’’ Desides ro. mance# dramas, tales and humorous slu-iew On comparing this article with that on the same subject in the last edition of the German “Ounversa- tious Lexikon,” we find that every particle of infor- mation it contains has been taken froin one publica- tion; that the German original contains additional information which the American compiler has neg- lected to transfer, and that some of that which be has taken he has mistaken. At the outset, the Ger- man, in the preliminary description of Almquist, styles him “a very fertile Swedish writer,” which the American not very judiciously curtails into the bald desiguation of “a Swedish writer” merely. The German, after assigning his birth to 1793, pro- ceeds to state that “at first he entered on an official career” (eine amtiche Lauf bahn), which the Ameri- can, apparently unable to comprehend the phrase, renders that he “ began life as a politician,’ a me- thed of beginning lite which may be customary in America, but certainly is not in Sweden. “ Hut,” pursues the German, “he withdrew in 1823 to the forests of Wermland, to live in the manner of the old free peasantry.” The American draws from this that he “soon left politics fer the charms of « primi tive mode of life in the Swedish forests,” but as Almquist took this step in 1423, he must then have been thirty years of age. The German informs as that in Alimquist’s career as a theologian bis demo- cratical and neological opinions involved him in a contest with his ecclesiastical superiors, and that he had to stand @ trial before a consistorial court, which, however, ended in his acquittal. Thin definite statement is translated by the American cyclopredist into a mist of vagueness. “The literary activity of Almquist,” says the German, “is extraordinary. He has written intro — afl pps age arithmetic, handbooks ¢ at A geography, fs my and dictiona- ries. In Germany be is chiefly known by his pro ductions in polite liveratare. Toe most important among them bears the title of ‘Dornrosensbach,’ (Tornrosens Bok, &c.,) @ collection of romantic fic- tivns of the most varied description.” in this pas sage the Swedish title of Almquiat’s work is given, and also the German ‘ivalent; the American com- piler, instead of ren: into the German equivalent, and calli it the Book,” copies the German, does not copy it correctly, turning buch into busch, the “book” into «bush. Moreover, instead of saying that the “Dornrosens- busch” is itself @ collection of romantic fictions partly in prose and partly in verse—he tells us that it ia “the most celebrated of a collection of romantic poems.” In fact the of Schems-el-Nihar and “Arthurs Jagt,” or “King Arthur's Chace,” which be mentions in the next sentence are two of the con- stituent parts of this very “Tornrosena Bok.” The German article proceeds to an enumeration of the titles of various other works by Almquist which the copyist summarily cancels. As the “Conversations Lexikon” wae published in 1861, it conld, of course, carry the career of Almquist no further than that fas’ but from the “New American Cyclopedia” of #68 some fresher information might have been expected. It may be learnt from so ac: cessible a book a8 “Howitt's Northern Literature” that in 1861 Almaquist was accused of the crimes of forgery and attempt to marder—that, una- ble to meet the charge, he from Sweden; that he is eaid to have been one of the counties visiters of the great exhibition in that memorable year, and that he i# srr to have afterwards concealed himeelf in the United States of America. Our critictm has beea somewhat minute, bat Almquist must be taken aaa “knight of the shire,” who represents a large constituency. We are afraid that no reliance can be sately on the com pletenees or correctness of the statements of the Cy cloptedia in general. The article on the “ Acta Sanc- torum” is pitiably imperfect. One of the most in teresting tacta connected with that long array of folios is, that the publication of it was commenced in the seventeenth century, and is still proceeding in the nineteenth_the first. volume appearing in 1643, and the filty+4i: in 1853. The Cyclopadia merely tells us that this “chief modern oolfection of tives of saints and martyrs wae collated”— probably a mix print for collected—* by a society of learned Jesuits at Antwerp in the seventeenth century.” In the ar ticle on “The Arabic Language und Literature,” the amount of rectification required is endless, Zeuker's “Bibliotheca Orientalis” is described as “an index to all printed Arabian works,” instead of a catalogue of all printed Arabic, Persian and Turkish works, Ari bian and Arabic being, moreover, as little equivalent as catalogue and index. Hadji Knalfa’s great, work is described as ‘A History of Arabian, Persian aud Turkish Literature,” instead of a dry bibliographical catalogue ot socks in alpbabetical order, and we are told that it was “published KN Fhagel, vola. 1 stead of that it was published by Flugel with translation—an important Eee of informatic those who do not read Arabic—in six volumes, the last issued in 1852. Von Hammer's “History of Arabian Literature” figures as a work complet in 1842 in two volumes, It ia in seven, or rather seven bud appeared at the time of the author's death in 1857, the plan being then about balf carried out. Some mention might have been made of the im- mene scale on which the book is constructed, the even volumes extending to about seven thousand pages, and containing notices of about eight thou- tand authors. We are told of Ibn Batata that hiv travelwere translated—it is not said into what lan- guage—by Mowra (Moura) at Lisbon, in 1840, but we are not told that they were translated into pees ih in 1629 by Dr. uel All, or nearly all, the scattered fragments of this article on Arabian literature are to be found in the article of the “Conversations Lexikon,” but in a better ar- rangement and accompanied by fuller information. Surely, of the two, the plan of theold “Enoyek ia Americana” was preferable—to take the articles as a were found, translate them, and say 40. general incorrectness seems to pervade the printing of the volume, an evil the more serious as the Americans are very fond of perpetuating what- ever they print by means of stereotype—an inven- tion which, however useful in other ot, HOODS destined to become the bane of cyclopadias. In the article already mentioned on Arabic literature the “Praise of Mohammed” by Busiri is awid to have been published by Rozenweig, at Vienna, in 1624, instead of 1824; in another part of the article 1624 is given asthe date ef an edition of Omur IbualWardi, ublished at Lund, as if Arabic works were likely to ue from the press of Scania in the sixteenth cev- tury. In the life of Aldridge, the Mulatto Roscius, among the Continental capitals at which he appeared, we find Perth instead of Pesth. One of his favorite characters is said to be Hugoin “The Padlock.” Certainly, the best known fact in connection with the Negro m “The Padlock” is that he is Mungo bere, Mungo there, Mungo, Mungo, everywhere, except inthe pages of the “New American Cyclo- peedia.” With arare felicity, after commending his representation of “Hugo,” the writer adds that Aldridge is “also a good comedian,” apparently sup- posing that his acting in “The Padlock” ix of deeply beg cant. One of the larger articles is on the interesting subject of “ Americanisms.” .It is mentioned in the course of it that “two vocabularies of Americanisins have been published, one at Boston, by John Picker- ing, in 1516, and the other at New York, by John Ruseell Bartlett, in 1848.” It mighthave been added that an abridged transiation of Bartlett's book haa appeared in Dutch—a lar fact—and that there isa dictionary of English and German, by Elwell, publishe w York in 1850,in which many Ame- ricanixms included and pointed out by @ distin guishing mark. To put this distinguishing mark, and put it rightly, seema to be a task transcending the powers of any individual, and we would recom mend the Philological Society, when they have saf- ficient leisure from the labors of their new gigantic dictionary, to appoint a mixed commission of Eng- lish and Yankees to endeavor, if possible, to draw the boundary line to the satisfaction of both nations. The best way to begin would, poner, be to take a popular American novel, and have a discussion on each word or Teaser that sounded strange to an Engheh ear. It would Vege d be found that ma- by of them were equally strange to natives of dif- ferent portions of the United States; and, on the other hand, it would certainly be found that many phrases which Americans would set down as Ame- ricanisms were as English as Addison, In the ar- ticle on Americanisms in the Cyclopsdis it is amus- ing to see what odd misconceptions on that score occur. * Politician,” we are told, “in the United Btates, means a person who busies himself with the management and contests of a political party: In England it means a xtatesman.” In England there is a tolerabl: en goed ree ing, known by the name of “ The Village Pohticians,” which shows that the term is not of so stately acharacter. Again, * is the American term for a stage-coach, and it sometimes, but rarely, used in that sense by the Englieh.” “Stage iscertainly now used but rarely in that sense, because tages are themselves a rarity, bnt the word only enepraree with the thing. Further, we ure told that “ Ride, in the United States, means riding either wagon or on borse- back. The English restrict ” to horseback... . Ride was formerly used by the English as it is now used by the Americans.” Qne would like extreme ly to know when English people ceased to “ride in a coach,” and what is the word that has dixplaced it. But the richest piece of information for the English reader is that contained in the notice of the word “ticket” — © Ticket ie ured Ree Americans in many ways up Krown tw the Eaglish. When an American engages « paskage on a railroad ho purchases a ticke|—ths Aogiiat man is booked at the box cffice. The American purchases ® “through ticket” or a ‘way Ueket’—the Englianman in booked for @ portion or the whoie distance of hia inteuded Journey.’ If the writer of Americanisms” should ever take a journey w England, which be evidently has not done hitherto, he will find that his “ Americanisms,” “way ticket” excepted, are the current language of every railway station in or out of Cockneydom. To sum up, asan American Cyclopedia, the new werk will be welcome from the fulness of the in- formation it supplies In an accessible form on Ame- rican topics, but as a general cyclopmwdia it fails. Ttw longer articles seldom rise above the level of medi ocrity; its shorter ones are so compressed that in many instances they might with advantage be cancelled. Garrison Letter to the Orsini and Pierrt De- monstration in Boston. At the meeting in Boston on the 29th ultimo, in “honor of Orsini and Pierri, the martyrs of liberty,” a letter was read from W. L. Garrison, of which the following are material portions: — Boston, April 29, 1858. I deem it an honor to have received an official in- vitation to be present, this evening, at the ineeting at Naswau Hall, to commemorate the memories ot Orsini and his associates, who have recently been be headed by the decree of a remorseless tyrant in the person ot Louis Napoleon; because it implies that you believe my sympathies and —_ are with the opprewed throughout the world, without regard to race, color or clime.

She holds every seventh oft her vast population in fetters of iron, as a te beast, as an article of merchandise. With four millions of slaves in her ruthless grasp, she has not only lost all reve- rence for human rights, but she ridicules and rejects her own Declaration of independence; and hence her instincts and feelings are with every tyrant in Europe, and its dow: Oo Masses, and such will be her state and attitude until she breaks every fetter, and liberates every slave on ber own soil; then shall she lead the nati of the earth to universal freedom. Much more | could add, for my heart is full, abd I “could pour it out like water,” but | must pause.

It would be a long history to recount all the methods employed by the priests to fil their pame at the expense of the bigoted and credalous. Popery has been called with much truth the religion of money; for money plays the chief part in this com- munion, whether to supply abundance and toxary tothe prelates, orto pay the yenses of popular superstitions, or lastly, to buy venal consciences. fach archbishop and bishop of France has obtained an increase of 6,000 (ranca a year in the ak lowed them by the government.

Sometimes the clergy inbes a lottery in order to procure an image of the Virgin Mary; the means is not very woral, since it exches covetousness; but the bad means are justified on Je- suit principles—by the good end. Sermetimes the do- nora are rewarded by masse performed tor them- xelvex or their deceased relatives, and it woald seem hat miraculous cures and other wonder have been pertormed in answer to the prayers of the priests for their benefactors. Miracles are, indeed, a capital re- sort in these speculations of the clergy. [tia very agreeable to be cured suddenly of a alysis or any infirmity which has baffled the skill of physiclans, ‘This compensates for the sacritice of a little money for the erection of an altur dedicated to the Imma- culate Conception. Further the popish curates, or their agents, sell medals, images, chaplets, wax candles which have been blessed, various amulets, and tous extort mo- ney from the poor cou these popish agents addi children of Mary, in which he advertiws the sale of bottles of the’ water of La Salette for five france. And ax all the pious children of Mary have not five franck to expend for this minvculous water, the shrewd merchant informs the public that he wall deal out the water by the half bottle, quarter bottle, fitth ot a bottle; at very moderate prices. How like the ignoble traffic of the monk Tetzel, who three bondred years ago stirred the indignation of Lather! In pecuniary matters Rome does not change, ith all these contrivances, a bishop residing in the south of France did not receive enough build achapel and erect # statue to the Immaculate Vir- gin. And bow think you he obtained the money which he needed?? He put his hand, by his own sa- thority, into a chest dest to provide food for aged and infirm priests. The moneys here deposited had been contributed from the salary of vieart and curates. It was a sacred trust. Bot the Bishop dis- honestly diverted the funds from their proper object, without consulting those who had entcusted him with posed to lack bread. They will lose the pension that they hud acquired by jong und rigid economy, bee: dishonest prelate hax thought fit to use part of t ry in honor of the Immaculate Conception. The affair has caased much dissatisfaction. Curates, robbed anjaatly, have cried out, although they are under compl subjection to the Papal See, and I believe that the overvmuent itself has testified ita displeasure to the Bishop ut this abuse of conlidence. Any one may worship the Virgin Mary; but uo one has a right to be dishonest. The attention of France hua lately been drawn to a scandalous lawsuit, before the Imperial Court at Paris. The following are the facts; A new monastery wax founded in the beginning of thix century, bearing the name of Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, and of the perpetual worsnip of the very holy sacrament. This society of monks is called the Congregation of Pic- ux, because one of itt principal houses ix situated in the street Picpus, in Paris. At tint women or sisters were the only members of this order, but. after a short time there came also Brothers of the: Sacred Hearts, dc. Hence there arose intestine quarrels, The brothers pretended to have the #u- preme directioa, and naturally the divers would net consent willingly to be deprived of theu fe rights. The lady superior was always in with the male superior. In vain Pope Pius LX. sent two letters to restore peace; his interference was effectual, and finally a number of nuns, headed by the Marchioness de Guerry, rescived to form a sepa- rate or dissenting houxe. This lady, on withdraw- ing, demanded the sum of 1,200,000 franca, which tbe had intrusted to the congregation of Picpas; bat the dignitaries of the Bucred Hearts refased to re- store the money. The Marchiouess de Goerry carried her claima be- fore the courte, The result of a long trial was: 1. That the congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary has never been anthoriaed by the government, and that its existence ix contrary to the laws of the country. . 2. That the nuns, after promising t give a gra- tuiteus education to poor young girly, have young ladiex belonging to wealthy tarulies, who pay them handsomely. Sd. That they do not distribute alms to the poor, in spite of theif engagements to do wo in their rules, 4.
