NOTICE TO BOOK PUBLISHERS AND AUTHORS, ‘We have received from Dr. Lewis Feuchtwanger, au- ‘thor of ‘(A Popular Treatise on Gems,”’ an angry commu- nication complaining that we neither noticed his book por acknowledged its receipt. He says that for twenty- five years he has contributed by his advertisements to ag- grandize us, and that he cannot imagine that we would re- cetve a valuable work without giving for it a guid pro quo. ‘Tepreventany misapprehension as to our position in regard to authors and publishers, wo beg to tell this gontioman ‘and all others similarly interested, that wo hold ourselves ‘ound by no sort of obligation to them. When they ad- vertise with us it must be for the value of the publicity which our advertising columns afford thom, and not with @ view to securing a literary puff for their productions. ‘We shall notice no work which is sent to us on auch conditions; and in regard to the advertisement itself, we care nothing about it when coupled with such an implied fmsult, In our literary as well as in our political relations ‘with the public we ohooge to be entirely independent, and parties who, like Dr. Feuchtwanger, think that they can bully us into an opposite course, will find that they make great mistake, Those who send works to us must do it on the risk of their being acknowledged or noticed just as our discretion and their merit may induce us to deal with them, ‘Tue Navies or rae Worxp: their Present State and their Future Capabilities. By Hans Busk, Routledge & Co. ‘The alarm created in England by the extensive naval preparations of France, which, although probably not un- @ertaken with any idea of invasion, certainly have for ob- Ject to contest with her the future supremacy of the ocean, fmparts to this work a present interest. The attention which it excited is also justified by the care which seems to have been bestowed in getting up its facts, To the English, who have always fondly hugged the notion that their navy was immeasurably superior to that of France ‘or of any other Power, tho results brought to light by the researches of Mr. Busk have proved ‘‘a heavy blow and @iecouragement.’? Through the warnings of the late Duke of Wellington, Sir Baldwin Walker, Sir Howard Douglas, and Major General Burgoyne, they have bad Inklings that their boasted “wooden walls” were but weak and uncertain defences to rely upon; but ‘until the appearance of the present volume, they have not had their old convictions thoroughly shaken by the Yogic of figures. Of the general accuracy of the latter there can be no reasonable doubt, for Mr. Busk devoted considerable personal attention and pains to the inspection of the French ports, dockyards and naval arsenals, as ‘wellas to tho examination and study of such official do- cuments and reports as were to be procured in defiance ‘of the suspicious watchfulness of the French naval autho- ities. The English returns can, of course, be more im- Plicitly vouched for, as they were easily accessible. Taking the comparative view of the naval resources the two great Powers presented by this book, results will surprise most persons who have not keen watching the silent but rapid developement of those of France since the Prince de Joinville brought the capacities of an intelligent and scientific mind to bear on the sub- ject. Louis Napoleon has, no doubt, given an enormous impetus to it since his accession to power, but to the Or- Yeanist prince belongs the credit of having comprehended ‘and paved the way for the great changes whieh the intro- duction of steam is bringing about in the navies of the world. ‘We will first take the condition of the English navy up ., to April, 1859, as shown by Mr. Burk’s statistics, The annexed table, it should be stated, embraces all vessels afloat, building or converting:— ‘Tlustrated, Seamer i 8 : 2 b] Ee ES eerie EF Dadian or asst ene Bhipsof the line. 43 36 — ‘is 43 62 95 Frigates....-.... 19 9 10 58 88 96 Boeke... — 2 = = = Oo 8 Mortar ships... — a hap a AM tl Corvettes &sioops 72 «47 70sG:S TZ AZ Surveying and small vessels, 3 4 — 8 7 bo Gun vessels pcoeemaetin meine Gunboats, 1) 2 ede tes Floating 6 ay a ee Tenders, &c 43 —- —- @.a Troop and ships, depots, training _ and gunnery ships. 25 13 2 — 2% 15 40 Yachis. ae ee 5 Total 221 381 156 43. 221 530 761 Mr. Busk'tells us that the majority of the forty-three sail- ing shipspf the line are of very little use, not more than thir- teen or fourteen being reallyeffective. Of the fifty-eight fri- gates, not not more thay fourteen or fifteen can be ro garded as really scrvioeable. Of the seventy-nine steam Gorvettes and sloops (paddic) not more than twenty or twenty-four can be considered available for war purposes; 80 that from the above total we have to deduct 128 ves- sels, steamers as woll as sailing ships, as non-effective. ‘We now turn to a classified summary of the French wavy, completed up to the same period (April, 1859). Like the other, it includes all vessels building, converting, or ordered to be built. (Sailg Ves) Steamers. Description of Vessels, 130-114 ships of the ioe 90 guna... 1 3] 82-72 guns. ‘The above shows a total of 449 vessels, carrying 8,422 guns, with an aggregate power of 77,820 horses. Out of tho 14 sailing ships of the line three are in progross of conversion, and of the 37 steam ships of tho line 80 are complete, three are receiving their engines, and four are in progress of construction. Declucting from the British total of 751 the 128 vesols which are admitted tobe non-effective, there would, ‘therefore, remain only a numerical superiority of 174 vos- sels ag against France. Against the 36 screw steam ships ‘of the line possessed by England, France, however, num- bors 87, whilst against the 67 English steam frigates the latter numbers 61. Jf the investigation be carried through * the remainder of the lists it will be seen that in that class of veswels which will im future decile the mastership of the seas France is rapidly gaining on her powerful neighbor. It will be argued that the superior facilities of England will always enable her to keep a long way in advanco of France in the construction of vessels and in naval arma- ments whenever she may find a necessity for doing so. ‘Let us see what Mr. Busk’s tables say.on this subject. ‘The following shows the extent of the dockyard area of England and France, as aldo the number jof buikling slips and docks at the several ports Bl Goacno wookd el owweoh® € SI eres 3 El wenono pa s = ea | uct wl eeowco ae It should be stated that in the French computations the gun wharves and virtually yards are added in, which is not the cage in the English statement. Making allowance for this difference, Mr. Busk makes the superficial area of the English naval dock yards 200 acres less that that of the French. But of the forty-four English slips now in use, he says that only nine are adapted for modern first rates; while of the thirty-two completed docks no less than twenty-cight aro incapable of receiving ships of the largest class. The number of men employed in the Eng” lish dockyards in 1858-9 was 16,884, whilst in the French activity and bustle of preparation in the Jatier. siderably more than Engian@ to the horse power of en- gines of the more powerful classes of vevsels. The dif- ference in faver of France in that period is 14,847. On the giher hand England has added 16,078 in of France to the horse power of te ie the rank of frigates. By the oni 1 collective horse power of the whole navy of England wil De 99,512; of France, 82,044—showing ® close approxima- tion in this reapect between the two navies. As regards the future, France seems determined tooyer- come the disparity that exista by the magnitude of her ar- rangements. From the report prefixed to a report of the Minister of Marine for 1859, it appears that it is intended within fourteen years from tho present time to raise the French steam navy to one hundred and fifty vessels of war of various classes, built aftor the best models, with engines of full power, in addi- tion to seventy-two steam transports, and in the meantime to complete the construction at the several naval ports of the dry docks and factories indispensable to meet the requirements of the new steam fleet. The expense of these works is to spread over the period extending from 1859 to 1871, and it will amount in the aggregate to $44,200,000. By the spring of 1860 the French govern- ment will have afloat and in perfect order a fleet of forty screw steam ships-of-the-lme, six iron-plated frigates, thirty screw and nineteen paddle frigates, and twenty-six steam transports of the class of the Calvados, ‘The result of the proposed additions tothe English navy during the present year will be twenty-six men of war, which is, it appears, the limit of the present aggro. gate capacity of the English dockyards. By the autumn of 1860 it is expected that the entire number of screw line-of-battle ships in the English navy will bo rais- ed to fifty-six, with a considerable augmentation to the Uist of frigates. From the facta above stated it is evident thatthe French have been rapidly gaining on their neighbors within the Inst few years in the race for naval supremacy. Ina contest which the introduction of steam has rendered one of science rather than of physical superiority and train- ing, it remains to be seen whether French ardor, aided by a lavish expenditara, will not in the end attain as marked @ pre-eminence on the ocean as it already possesses in the ‘tented field.” ‘A Manvat oF Navat Tacrios, together with a Brief Critical Analysis of the Principal Modern Naval Battles. By James H. Ward, Commander U.S. N. With an Appendix, being an Extract from Sir Howard Douglas’ “Naval Warfare with Steam.” 1 vol., 8vo. New York: D. Appleton & Co. Captain Ward’s Manual poseeeses not only @ professional but an historical value, Whilst ‘t is one of the most.com- plete treatises that has as yet"been published on naval tactics, it gives us an accurate description of the evolu- tions of the great modern naval battles, with diagrams illustrating the positions and movements of the hostile ficets, For our own part, until we took up this volume we had never formed a definite conception of the daring ‘boldness and splendid seamanship of Nelson’s achievement in th battle of the Nile; nor of the high resolve and per- severing courage in repairing error and retrieving loss which gave to Perry the victory of Lake Eric. ‘Although the title of the book indicates it to be mercly a manual of naval tactics, the honorable Secretary of the Navy, to whom it is dedicated, will find in it a fund of suggestions which will prove invaluable to him in the discharge of his important duties. We commend to his special attention the eubjoined extract, which, from opinions that are constantly reaching us in regard to se- lections made for important positions afloat, to the detri- ment of discipline and efficiency, we doubt not expresses the sentiments of our best officers: — The éclat won in extra professional pursuits dazzles otr most capable and ambitious can officers, attracting them from the nautical branch of the servico—that in which, more than in any other, the practical experience of ite highest genius is needed. And the evil in question ‘becomes aggravated by the obstacles to the achievement of nautical reputation; for, besides much other dis- couragement, a young’ officer finds pre-eminent succoss in the trying situation of executive officer, the earliest po- sition aflording opportunity for the display of an ability on which the comfort, character and efficiency of a ship of war largely depends, not held, as it should be by the De- partment, a recognized claim to distinction. Hence, chilled fo his ‘aspirations, he turns away from that element op which, if fostered, he had emulated the reputation of Morris, or the fame of Decatur and McDonough. The of- fice of First Lieutenant is too important to be lightly filled, and he who brings to the discharge of its onerous duties a high ability, and sacrifices to all coriderations of personal ease, and garners from ite severe schooling the best pre- aration for command, should no longer be permitted to Feel that the sacrifice has been in vain. We predict for Captain Ward very many readers on both sides of the Atlantic, and take leave of him with the hope that a commander who knows 80 well how ‘to beguile the tedium of service on the African station”? may ‘son have the opportunity of flying his pennant on some more active scene. Tug TeLecrarh Manva. By Tol P. Shaffher, of Kentucky. Pudney & Russell. This is a compilation of very great valuc. It gives a complete history and description of the semophoric, elec- tric and magnetic telegraphs of the world, and is illus- trated by upwards of six hundred engravings and die- grams. These are all executed in a very superior style, and comprise a number of beautiful steel portraits of the men who have contributed most to the improvement, adoption and extension of the electric telegraph in this country. History oF Toe Western Inscrrection mn West- ERN PENNSYLVANIA, Commonly called “The Whis- key Tusurrection,” in 1794. By H. A. Bracken- ridge. ‘The volume before us revives the souvenirs of a bittor personal controversy, the mers of which have long since been decided by public opinion. The historical facts con- nected with it, however, possess an interest which justify its publication, the more particularly as the first history of the insurrection, published by Mr, Brackenridge’s father, has long passed out of print. Buack Diamonps. By B. A. Pollard, of Virginia. Pudney & Russell. Rabid abolitionists and prejudiced foreigners should tead this book. It represents slave life at the South as it 8, and not as it is represouted by Mrs. Stowe und other Partisan writers, who view it only through the medium of their passions and prejudices. Mr. Pollard, Southerner though he be, is yet far from being a bigoted writer. Fixed as are his views on the subject of slavery, he is too candid to uphold any of the abuses of the institution, and itis for this reason that we recommend his book to per- sons who have formed their opinions in regagd to jt with out the benefit pf personal observation. ‘Miss Lxsuin’s Buuavioun Boox.

Fine Arts, SECOND EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS OF THE FRENCH AND ENGLISH SCHOOLS. It looks well for the prospects of art in this country that foreign painters find it to their account ta’ run the risk of repeated ventures with their choicest works ig the Ameri- can market, It can only bethe hope of sécuring larger: price for their productions than they “get at home. that induces them to send on Jong journey: ‘They incur not only the ofa expendi- ture, but also of injury to the pictures themselves, by despatching them eo far. ‘The fact that, besides the regu- lag monthly renewal of the works of German artists im tho gallery of the International Art ASsvciaiony we have now as regular periodica] exhibitions of the French and German schools, proves that there isa large ‘and igoreasing demand for first class foreign paintings. ‘Bome persons suppose that the sale which the latter meet with here is injurious to the interests of our native artists. The reverse is the fact. Whatever tends to im- prove the taste of the public aud to enlarge their ideas in regard to art must exercise a favora- ble influence over the prospects of native talent. The time was when the works of American painters could not stand the test of such competition. Since they have found abroad the appreciation which, at first, they failed to meet with at homo—the estimate placed upon them has changed greatly. Our cognoscenti and picture buyers have discovered (by the eyes of others) that American paintings have a marketable value. The works of such men as Church, Kensett, Durand, Coleman, Gifford Hun- , Elliott, Kastman Johnson, and scores of others that we could name, are accordingly purchased before they leave the easel, and rarely find their way into the market at all, The consequence is that every young painter who displays the least genius is ng to participate in the benefits resulting from this home patronage. In- stead of diminishing or weakening it, the importation of European works only tends to givo a greater stimulus to the taste for native productions. Asin most other fields of rival- 1y ,tonly required opportunities of comparizoa to disabuso people of the projudice that American art was incapab! of as noble conceptions and of results as B sterid ‘fas those of the foreign schools, Instead, therefore, of feeling jealous of the neanaicn of Collections ‘of foreign works we hall the fact as a that art is beginning to receive in this country that attention and patronage which have ‘been always held to mark an advanced state of civilization and refinement. The more encouragement that is held out to them the better will be the position and prospects of our own artists. ‘The works now exhibiting in tho Gallery of Design offer both in quality and variety a more complete view of the capacities of the two modern schools which the collection represents than the first exhibition. Of the English painters we have imens by Ansdell, Landseer (Sir Ed- Grove, imore, #reet Halliay, Herring, Haray, Hook owe, e, Frost, Lewis, Lee, Linnell, Millais, Philip Poole Soloman, E x Ward, H. Wallis, T. Webster, &. Of the French there are works by Antigna, Bandit, Baugnict, the three Bonhours com juliette and Auguste), Bouquet, m, Couture, Courbet, Couturier, Devedeux, Dubufe, Duverger, Fauvelet, Fortin, Frere (Edouard) |, Frere - odore), Gerald, Gerome, Grenier, Gudin, Guitlemin, Isa- bey, Jacquand, Joannes, Lasalle, Lamoricierre, Lambinet, De ’Poitevin, Magues, Micas, Moreau, let, Muller (Charles Louis), Noel, Porteals, Rosseau (The- Gdore), Sant, Serres, Schlesinger (Henry), Seiguac, Traarrt, Doarnemine Me wiice (iinse there are works vy palnters oF coer wala such as Leys, Knaug, Yan Marke, Yau Scbendel, Van Se- ven, Verheyden and Willelms, &., &c. ‘One of the chief features of ‘the collection is ite richness in specimens of the French Bucolic school of art, repre- sented by numerous works of the Bonheurs, Couturier, Troyon and others. ‘The pre-Raphaelites have also contributed largely, and for those who have been converted to thelr heresies there will, no doubt, be much to admire in the pictures by Halliday and Wallls— the former a close imitator in sentimemtof Millais. In the poetry, natural grace and exquisite drawing and coloring Of ono of Schlesinger’s charming conceptions—*The Toi tation’’—there is, to our notion, more real genius displaj than in all the works of the revived school put together. If the ideal were to be wholly discarded in art, nature would be presented in aspects so crude aud revolting to the eyo that its pictorial representations would soon fall into discredit. The disciples of the pre-Raphaclite style ignore altogether the fact that the attractiveness of nature lies in its power of idealizing its own effects by the aid of the atmosphere, Amongst the larger works is a noble pastoral scene by Troyon ; a fine devotional picture—* Even- ing Prayer”—by Couture, and the celebrated _his- torical composition by Jacquand— William, the First Stadtholder of Holland, Selling his Jewels.”” In the course of afew days there will be added to the collection the following important pictures, which are now unpacking, “St. Agnes’ Eve,” by Helman Hunt; “Bunyan’s Pilgrim's Progress,” by Richard Redgrave, R. The Duel after the Masquerade,” by Geromo; “Leda,” by Ary Scheffer; ‘The Decadence of Rome,” by Couture, and The Lions, by Landseer. Altogether this collection is one of the most interesting and valuable that has as yet been exhibit- ed in this country. INTERNATIONAL ART INSTITUTION. ‘The additions to this gallery next month will, wo under- stand, comprise several pictures of heavy price. Amongst them are ‘The Funeral of Raphael,” by C. Thiel, of Dus- feldort, and “Othello and Desdemona,” by Professor ‘ohler. > MR. T. P. ROSSITER’S GALLERY. ‘ The admirers of this artist’s works have now an opportunity of examining them collectivély, at his resi- dence, No. 17 West Thirty-cighth strect. He has assem- bled in a noble apartment, built expressly for the purpose, most of the productions which have contributed to es- tablish his reputation. Here will be found his great pic- tures of “The Captivity of the Jews,’ ““Georgione and Com- panions going to the Lido,” “The Wise and Foolish Vir- gins,” and scores of other works which have from time to time constituted prominent features of our public exhibitions. The composition for a large picture entitled “Charity,” should not be passed by without a careful ex- amination. The labor and elaboration that have been be: wed on it makes one regret that the sketch itself was not amplified to its intended proportions. In conception, drawing and grouping it is a work of remarkable merit. The painting upon which Mr. Rossiter is at present en- gaged, ‘The Visit of Lafayette to Washington at Mount Vernon,” promises to be one of the most successful that this artist has undertaken, Whilst it preserves all the individuaiities of likeness transmitted to us by Stuart and other contemporary painters, it presents the chief figure of the group in a speaking and animated attitude, the ex- pressions of the originals from which it is taken being wonderfully transfused into the livelier mood in which he is depicted. The other personages of the scene are also authentic studies, the portraits of Lafayette and Mrs. Washington being equally spirited and natural adaptations to the exigencies of the subject of their well known foa- tures and characteristics. The landscape portion of the picture, the work of Mignot, whom Mr. Rossiter has asso. ciated with him in this task, gives us Mount Vernon, not as it is at present, but as it was in Washington’s time. Not satisfied with his personal observations on the spot, Mr. Mignot has been guided by the recollection of those re- tainers of the old household whose memories preserved the features of the place as it existed at the period of La. fayette’s visit. The result of the combined labors of the two artists will be to give us a picture which, for fidelity interest and charactoristiceffects has probably never been surpassed by any historical work similarly undertaken. ‘With a liberality which does him credit, Mr. Rossiter an- nounees his intention to throw open his ‘collection gratui- tously to the public. The days that he has fixed upon for this purpose are the Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays of each week, and tickets of admission can be procured by applying to Messrs. Appleton, Goupil, Schaus, Dechaux, and Williams & Stevens. MapAmm AwNA Bisnor at Brooxtyy.—This charming vo- calist gives her first concert at Brooklyn on Tuesday noxt.

About 1 o’clock yesterday morning, as three men named b-Wm. H. Smith, Phillip Fitusimmons and Johu H. Oole, all clerks in the drug store corner of Greenwich and Barclay steets, were walking down Broadway, it is alleged they were inaulted by four rowdies standing at the northwest corner of Broadway and Canal street. According to Smith's statement, he and his friends were quictly passing ut the time and gave no provocation to the rowdies, who hooted at them isi a tantalizing manver, and used the most scurrilous language. They made no reply to this insulting demonstration, but simply looked around to seo who the parties were. Hereupon the rowdies rushed upon the unoffending clerks, and commenced to strike right and Jeft, beating them in a brutal manner. Fitzsimmons, who {s quite a youth, ha] to be a few paces behind his companions, and was the first to receive the attention of the rowdies. Smith and Cole, seeing the manner in which Fitzsimmons was being handled, naturally enough rushed to his assistance, when they also were struck and kicked most unmercifully. Smith received several heavy blows in the head, and would doubless have been seriously injured, had he not promptly quieted the ruflans by dealing with them ina way which appears to be the only one calculated to put down rowdyism in this city. One of the fellows, who gives his name as James Wil , was busil; in pummelling Smith, when the latter drew a revolver and discharged the contents of one of the barrels into the ab- domen of his aesailant. Wilson immediately fell to the pavement, but almost instantly was on his feet again and scampering away as fast as condition would allow. Heran up Broadway to Grand street, and through Grand to the corner of Elm, where he again fell in a state of complete exhaustion, und was conveyed to a neighboring drug store for relief. In the meantime his friends made off and quickly disappeared, almost before the police authorities were aware of the occurrence. Smith and his comrades on the contrary, it is said, made no effort to escape, but remained on the ‘scene of the af- fray until the arrival of officer Crolius, to whom they sur- rendered themse! Officer Crolius was at hand a few minutes after the commencent of the difficulty, and wit- neased the shooting, but at the time did not know that any one had Deen shot. He nevertheless thought roper to arrest’ Smith and Fitzsimmons, whom house authorities. Wilson, the wounded man, was taken to the City Hospital, where he now lies in a dangerous condition. The ball penetrated the abdomen at the left side, and has not been diecovered, though the wound was Carefully probed. No trace has Smith, Fitzsmmons and Cole, are respectable looking and intelli: conveyed to the Sixth ward to await the action of the been found of the other rowdies. 0 drug clerks, gent young men. About baif-past ten o’elock Coroner Jackman proceeded to the City Hospital to take the ante-mortem examination of Wilson, who was ip a very low condition, but still was able to give his testimony clearly. A jury having been summoned, the wounded man, in reply to the questions of the Coroner, deposed as follows: Between twelve and one o'clock this morning I was standing on the corner of Broadway and Canal street, opposite the Brandreth House, conversing with a friend; a crowd came down Broadway hooting, quarrelling and shouting; roe they Lom poy verted I noticed a big man aud a little man engage: ting; the man seemed to be getting the worst of te ands crew Suet and fired at his antagonist, who ipted to get out of but did street, and (old a man that Thad beew wounded; he took me to 4 doctor’s on the corner of Grand and Crosby streets, and afterwards procured a carriage and conveyed me to the City Hospital; I never had any altercation with the man who shot me, nor did I have any acquaintance with him; I do not think he intended’ to shout me; at the time of the oceurrence there were several blows, hitting in every direction, but I did dot participate in the fight; I reside at No. 67 Wooster street, and am a shipcarpenter by occupation, Philip Fitzsimmons deposed—t resido at No. 821 Green- wich street; last night, about twelveo'clock, Henry Smith, Jobn Cole and myself, as we approached ‘the corner of Canal street, saw a crowd of young men standing there in front of the Brandreth House, mutering something to themselves; my friends were alittle in advance of me as we passed them, and J, hearing a hoot from the group, turned round to look at them; one of the men immediately, struck me a blow on the chin; I called out to Smith—the man still assaulting me—to come to my assistance, while I endeavored to defend myself with my umbrella; the next I knew was that Smith was in charge of an officer; I can- not swear that Smith shot the man, nor can I swear that Smith was struck by either of the parties; I cannot divine the object of the attack; I recognize the wounded man as being one of the party who attacked us. George C. Crolius, policeman of the Eighth ward, de- posed—I was attracted by fighting on the corner of Canal streot and Broadway, and on going towards the bellige- rents I observed the prisoner fire a pistol; he was in the act of putting it in his pocket as I approached him; I arrested him, and inquired what he fired the pistol for; he replied that he ditt it in his own defence: I called outseve ral times to know if any one was shot; no answer was given, and the men crossed over and went up Broadway: 1 took’ Smith and his companion, Fitzsimmons, to the sta. tion house, and returned to the gcene of the affray; there 1 first learned that a man had been shot, and had been taken to the City Hospital; I went there and found the wounded man and three of his friends at his bedside; these I arrested, but they denied that they knew Wilson at all; they were discharged from custody; this morning Iwent to the Hospital and saw Wilson, and asked him why his friends did not come to see him; he replied, those re his frionds whom I arrestod last night; one of them I knew to be a pickpocket. Upon this testimony the jury rendered the following singular verdict:— James Wilson came to his wounding, by a pistol shot fired by come person or persons unknown. Smith was held in $2,000 bail to await the action of the Grand Jury. Fitsimmons was held in $500 as a witness. The New York State Guard in New Haven, {From the New Haven Journal, Sept. 23.)
