J Literary Intelligence. ‘Mr. Cosmo Tones has in the press ‘The Life and Opin- fons of Frenchmen as they appear to an Englishman.” Prince Metternich, the Austrian Ambassador at the French Court, is, it is said, about to publish the memoirs of his late father, but it is impossible that some of the occurrences of his eventful life eah now be made known to the public. Ifthe memoirs of the late Prince Metter- nich should now see the light of theday, they must necessarily be incomplete and fragmentary. For the second time since thé establishment of Punch, four and twenty years ago, its proprietors are about to ‘be summoned to the law courts on an action for libel. ‘The aggrieved person in the present instance is Mr. Cox, the member for Finsbury. , Mr. James Kerr, late principal of the Hindoo College, Calcutta, has just published a work on “The Domestic Life, Character and Customs of the Natives of India.” Mr. Kerr has enjoyed the rare advantage of an intimate personal acquaintance with the internal aspects of Hindoo life. Mr. Stanyan Bigg, the author of a mystical dramatic poem, called “Night and the Soul,” which attracted some attention a few years ago, died on the 19th of May, at Ulverston, England, in his thirty-seventh year. A paper is about to be started in Brussels, in the Rus- sian interest, which is to reprint all"that appears about Russia in European journals. This will put the editors on their metal to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, in a very unpleasant way. Itis wonderful, of late years, how zealously and ardently Russia has labored to carry the day by the means of newspapers published in various parts of Europe. Charles Dickens had a narrow escape on the 9th ult. He had been staying in London during the season, and was returning to his country seat from a short conti- nental trip, and was in the tidal train, the greater por- tion of which was smashed near Staplehurst. For- tunately he escaped without the slightest injury. A book which is already creating much sensation in Dublin, and is likely to astonish many, is Mr. Jobn P, Prendergast’s ‘Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland,” just published by Messrs. Longman. Englishmen who are puzzled to understand how the Irish difficulty arose and what the Irish people want, had better read this thrilling narrative. It is only a compilation of official documents, abare chronicle. But it makes the sufferings of Long- fellow’s “‘Acadians’”’ seem slight and trivial, indeed, when compared with the consequences of the remorse- less policy which deliberately endeavored to supplant and extirpate a whole race. The daughter of that still admired benefactor of our youthful days, the author of ‘Midshipman Easy,” shows herself well able to sustain the lustre of her father’s name. The second novel written by Florence Marryatt (now Mra, Church Ross), entitled “Too Good for Him,"? and published by Mr. Bentley, is one of the most in- teresting and spirited domestic stories that have lately appeared. ‘The French (says the London Reader) are often re- proached for the superficiality of their knowledge. It is assumed that because they can always express their opinions with precision, and alwa: ippear to have opinions to express, therefore they cannot be qualified for stating views which are well considered or profound, If the reproach be generally applicable, the particular exceptions which must be made are very numerous. When a Frenchman is really master of his subject, he can treat it ina way which does not admit either of com- parison or of improvement. Not only can he propound that which is novel, but he can do #0 in such a style as te attract the attention of the most listless readers. More ently do we feel inclined to reproach French writers with the og mae A than with the shallowness of their works, when the writers are well versed in tho aubjects they treat, Brooklyn City News.

OURIOSIFY SEEKERS AFTER SOUVENIRS. The gallows remains precisely as it was after the exe- Cution yesterday, with the exception that the ropes and nooses have been removed, and one of the props that uphold the drop upon which Mrs. Surratt and Payne ‘stood has been selsed by curiosity hunters and cut up for relics. There is nothing to indicate that it is to be removed immediately. During to-day great numbers have visited the Arsenal, hoping to obtain some souvenir of the execution of yes- terday, But very few were procured. THE LAST DAYS OF TEE DOOMED. Captain Roth, of General Hartranft's staff—to whom was charged the duty of constructing the gallows, ar- ranging and carrying out the order of execution—informs us that but three days ago Payne pitched a game of quoits with Spangler a few feet in front of where the scaffold stands, The same officer also remarked that at the moment of giving the signal for springing the drop, Atzerott, who had an idea that he was to be swung off the end of the platform instead of falling with the trap on which be stood, was in the act of stepping backward from the verge of the scaffold when he fell. Mrs. Sur- att also made an exclamation desiring some one to sup- port her at the moment of her fall. ‘THR SURVIVING CONSPIRATORS. No order has yet been received at the Arsenal for the removal of Arnold, O'Laughlin, Mudd and Spangler to the penitentiary to which their sentence consigns them. ‘They were not cognizant until to-day of the decease of their associates in crime. When brought out for their customary ablutions this morning in the yard where the execution was performed, Dr. Mudd, on catching sight of the scaffold, immediately remarked that he had heard the sound of hammering on the previous morning, and felt approhensive that the noise was caused in the con- struction of a gallows. Spangler, who is a carpenter by trade, looked at the rude engine of death eritically, and doclared that its builders bad made ® good job, but that ho did not want to teat it: The prisoners are all allowed an hour in the forenoon ‘and a similar period in the afternoon for exercise in the prison yard, and since the adjournment of the court have boon in excellent health and tolerably good spirits.

About half-paat eight o'elock on Friday morning Miss Surratt, accompanied by a female friend, again vi the White House, having been there the previous even- ing for the purpose of obtaining an interview with the President. President Johnson having given or- ders that he would receive no one today, the doorkeeper stopped Miss Surratt at the foot of the steps leading up to the President's office, and would not permit her to proceed further. She then asked permission to see Genoral Muesey, the President's military secretary, who promptly answered the summons, aod came down stairs where Mias Surratt was standing. As soon as the General made bis Misa Surratt threw herself upon her knees afore ‘him, salehing him by the coat, and, with loud sobs and streaming eyes, implored him to agsist her in obtaining a hearing with the President. General Mussey, in as tender a manner as possible, in- formed Misa Surratt that he could not comply with her juest, as President Johnson's orders were imperative, and ho would receive no one. ‘Upon General Mussev’s returning to his office Miss Surratt throw herself upon the stair steps, where she re- mained a considerable length of time sobbing aloud in the [aera d anguish, protesting her mother's innocence, and imploring every one who came near her to intercede in her mother’s behalf. While thus weeping she declared mother was too good and kind to be guilty of the jormous crime of which she was convicted, and as- pokey that if her mother was put to death she wished to die also, ‘The scene was heartrending, and many of those who witnessed it, including a number of hardy soldiers, were moved totears, Miss Surratt, baving i cat waa finally persuaded to take aseat in the East Room, and here ahe remained for several ong ge agen up from her seat each time the front door of the mansion was opened, evidently in hopes of seeing some one enter who could be of service to her in obtaining the desired in- terview with the President, or that they were the bear- ers of good news to her. Two of Harold's sistors, dressed in full mourning and heavily veiled, made their appearance at the White House shortly after Miss Surratt for the pul of inter. coding with the President in behalf of their brother. Failing to see the President, they addressed a note to Mrs. Johnson, and expressed # hope that she would not turn a deaf ear to their pleadings. Mrs. John- son being quite sick, it was thought expedient by the ushers not to deliver the note, when, as a last expedient, the ladies asked permission to forward a note to Mra. Pat- terson, the President's daughter, which privilege was not granted, as Mrs, Patterson {a also quite indisposed to- day. A HEART-RENDING SCENE By permission of the authorities, the daughtor of Mrs. Surratt passed the night previous to the execution with her mother in her coll. The entire interview was of a very affecting character. The daughter remained with her mother until a short time before the execution, and when the time came for separation the screams of an+ guish that burst from the poor girl could be distinctly heard all over the execution ground. During the morning the daughter proceeded to the Metropolitan Hotel and sought an interview with General Hancock ding him, she implored in pitiable accents to get a reprievefor her mother, The General, of course, had no power to grant or obtain such a formed the distressed girl in as gentle a mi ral Hancock, with the kindness that always cbar- his actions apart from the stern his noble profession, did his bost to assuage the mental an- guish of the grief-stricken girl SCENES AT THE SURRATT HOURR. ‘The residence of Mrs, Surratt on H street, North, near Sixth, remained closed on Thursday after the announce. ment of her fate had become known.

The wardens of St. Mark’s church, Tarrytown, have determined to set apart their new edifice—the building of which they have some time hed in contemplation—as a memorial to Washington Irving. In pursuance of this plan they have purchased a lot of land in the village of Tarrytown, and are about to put there: beanti- ful structure of stone, to be known as “The Me- morial Church of Washington Irving.’’ The cost of the building, when completed, will be about $35,000. A portion of this sum bas already been subscribed; and, in order that the ae a, be ey and successfully carried into execution, contributions of all Christiaus who approve of erecting, among the scenes he loved so well, s0 appropriate a memerial to Washington Irving asa y dedicated ferever to the worship of the iting God, are solicited. The sum still to be raised s $20,000. Contributions (of any amount) may be addressed to the care of the rector. the Rev. Edmund Guilbert, Tarrytown, N. Y. A VENERABLE CHURCH. (Correspondence of the Richmond Republic.] Lancastar Country, Va., June 24, 1865. Christ Church, in this county, is a curiosity well worth seeing. The records of the parish extend back two hundred and eleven years, according to Bishop Meade, but the present building was erected in 1732. It has not been much used for some years on account of its isolated situation and the bad condition of the roads in winter. But notwithstanding this fact and the i it by both parties during the war, it in the main. It ia cruciform. e roof is very steep and the exterior somewhat ornamented around the doors and windows. Around the vene- rable building lie the still more venerable dead of two centuries. Entering the church the first thing that strikes the eye is the singularity of the pews, which are high and enclosed on all sides, each one being, in fact, a box with seats on three sides. This ar- rangement makes it impossible to see anything of one’s neighbor, even when standing up, except the top of the head. However, if the congregation couldn't see one another they could see the clergyman. Indeed, if they had a mind to do so. they could survey him all round by an occasional | change of seat, for pulpit is very high, and stationed at one of the angles of the cross project- ing towards the centre of the church. The usual sounding board is suspended over the pulp The chancel is in one of the arms of the cross on the right of the pulpit. The font, the bowl of which is now broken from the stem and lies upon the communion table, is large and beau- tiful. The top of the table is split either by the weight of the bowl or by violence. The original plastering is still on the roof and walls, uninjured save where discolore a afew leaks in the roc which has been only twice repaired, and is now in good ord The floor is of stone, and in the centre of the church is a tombstone inserted in the floor, bearing the solemn inscription:— “Hodie mihi, eras tibi”—To-day for me; to-morrow for thee."’ In one corner, near the chancel, is one still more curious, the epitaph on which is as follows. The spelling is ‘copied verbatim, but in the original every letter is a capital: — Here Lyeth Buried Ye Body of Jobn Carter, Faq, Who Died Yo 10th Day of Jan,, Anno Domini, 1000; and Also Jane, Ye Daughter Mr. Morgan Glyn, and George, Her H Son, ‘and Elinor Carter. ‘And Ann, Yo Daughter of Mr. Cleave Carter; and Sa rah, Ye Daighter of Mr, Gabriel Ladiowe; and Sarab, Her Daughter, Which Ware All His Wives Successively, And Died Before Him. Blessed Are The Dead Which Die In the Lord, &c. How many wives bad he, and whieh wore thes? Lately the ioe has been thoughtlessly used by picnio parties. Strange that se little reverence for Things dedicated to sacred uses should exist in the minds of people living in Christian lands.
