Captain Bradford and some other members of the commission disapproved of the boilers and believed them to be unsafe because of some peculiarities in their construction, while others said they were like many others in use through- out the country and perfectly safe, but no official opinion has yet been expressed upon them.

For forty days and forty nights the Church has mourned, fa spirit with ite Saviour; emblems of sorrow and repentance have been ‘worn; grief and sorrow have been expressed in every form; but to-day the habiliments of mourning are cast aside, and the joyous salutation “Christ is risen” is given and repeated on every hand To almost every Christian child the scene at the tomb of Saviour is familiar—the REE solid wealed PUT ual ges F Lil i | I Redeemer sleops."’ But not triamph; for suddenly a bright 4 a f i f i Fi eis (ibe g sale liste #8 etaeiiesbesiiee ze i eur which the val occurs of March and never later 1, and is colebrated now on the first Guin wil abo of the ” Resurretion wilt services and with his talented choir Mozart’s grand composition.

It is a bold thing to prodace a book and cafl it history, with an utter disregard of facts, dates, incidents and other accessories which, if good for anything, are valua- ble only so far as they complete a faithful picture of events, That such daring flights in the regions of authorship are made we have evidence in a volume before us, very well printed and bound, entitled “The Irish Brigade and its Campaigns,” by Captain and Aia- de-Camp D. P. Conyngham. This, it would seem, is chiefly a compilation from the letters of newspaper cor- Fespendents who accompanied the Army of the Potomac during ite eventful career in Virginia and Maryland. ‘The class of men who supplied the public journals with the exciting detaits of the war need not be ashamed of their labors, and are certainly entitied to have them reproduced ungarbled, or in a style cialming some originality besides looseness of method and indifferent grammar, In this work we fail to find any recognition of the sources whence the information is obtained, ex- cept in very few instances. The book is insecutive and disordered. Asa history it is merely fragmentary and more bewildering than instructive; the thread of the story is broken so often that it is impossible to pick it up again without entanglement. Large space is given to indiscriminate laudation of individuals, whieh, we presume, must be offensive to a number of gallant officers who, mo doubt, are more willing to rest their reputation upon honors won in the field than upon any Printed adulation, The arduous services of the Irish Brigade are well known. Few military organizations came out of the campaign with so superb a record. To tell thas story in. simple language would be sufficient without vulgarizing it, Itis mot easy to imagine the fine old veteran, Major General Richardson, using profane language while emptying a fask “in sundry pulls” at the foot of a haystask, before breakfast, as he is de- scribed on page 293; nor the dashing and courteous Han- cock issuing his orders with the accompaniment of shocking imprecations, It is not very complimentary to the gallant officers and soldiers of the brigade to find the jovialities incident to camp life—which most likely had pleasantry enough about them to make a good deacription—grossly exaggerated to vulgar debaucheries. Scenes and anecdotes abound in which profanity is sub- stituted for wit, and the coarseness of the caricaturist gives a distorted reflection of the keen, racy humor pro- verbially peculiar to the Irish character. Byron’s idea of glory is also fully realized—maintaining yourself valiantly and finding your name misspelt in the Ga- sette—for there is an alarming mixing up of names aswell as of the deeds attributed to certain officers which fell to the lot of totally different men. Some commanding generals would be surprised to find themselves accredited with feats in battle at which they were not present. These, however, are but trifling errors in a work which would seem to have for its object to present history upside down; to describe what did ‘not happen, and omit what did. Such contributions to what is popularly called the literature of the war we are afraid will not inspire much faith in the accuracy of compilers of historical ovents, when they wander widely from the almost unerring material supplied by the news- papers of that day. A volume of “Sermons,” by Alexander Hamilton Vin- ton, has just been published. It appears to be a reprint, bearing, as itdoes, a dedication, dated as far back as 1855, to the parishioners of St Paul’s church in Boston. In a modestly written preface we are told that the book owes its existence chiefly to the kind solicita- tions of a friend, who was pleased to charge himself with whatever pecuniary risk might attach to the under- taking. The deservedly great reputation of Dr. Vinton as a pulpiteer might, one would have thought, have rendered such 8 preface unnecessary. Considering, how- ‘ever, that the successful preacher is not necessarily the skilful writer, and that his sermons in print are certain to be judged by a test which is severe and in a spirit which is exacting, the Doctor’s modesty is excusable, Although 1 is not our intention to go minutely into the merits and demerits of this volume, it is but justice to the author to eay that the sermons it contains are credit- able alike to his head and heart. Compared with the class of sermons to which they belong, they are highly respectable productions. That class, however, {s not the highest. Compared with the masterpieces of sermon literature with which recent years have made us familiar—with such sermons, for example, as those of Robertson, of Brighton, and Areher Butler, of Dublin, with those of Melville, or Caird, or Guthrig, or with those of Bushnell, the two Alexanders, and other well known names on thie side of the Atlantio—they lag far behind, At the same time they are very fair specimens of popular sermon literature. Nowbere any uB- necesmary parade of learning, OF aah Ca sire to be onght eloquent which is the obief stumbling look of popular preachers, But there is good thinking, taste, elegance, dignity; and in each of the sormons it is made more or leas manifest that the author ise man of a truly catholic spirit, Dr, Vinton evidently inclines to the Evangelical school, but he is no bigot. We can easily conceive how # commanding presence, a voice Fadae iy ead aL PE Pe ren popular. “The Initials’ is the title of » novel which appears tobe @ republication of a European work, and we are surprised that the publishers should go so far for what has so little value, It gives false views of life, and like ‘& vast number of similar works published in the present age, it must exercise a pernicious influence, particularly on the minds of very young ladies, The hero of the story, Hamilton, is a young Englishman, a acion, of course, of a noble house. He goes to Germany to acquire the German language and to educate himself by travelling. Having accidentally become acquainted with a family, ne boards with them. In this family are two sisters just out of school. Both are beauti- ful, With the youngest, Creacenz, he falls in love, pays her particular attentions, Induces her to meot him im secret, and finally succeeds fn gaining her affections. And all for what? To gratify his selfishness and vanity without intending to marry her. He is a young English snob, who deems himself privileged to flirt with the artless girl and destroy her peace of mind. The elder sister, Hildegarde, who is a person of stronger character and greater intelligence, sees this, despises him for his conduct and quarrels with him. Afterwards he dis- covers that he is in love with Hildegarde, She, too, at last loves him, notwithstanding her previous contempt for him and her constant quarrels with him on account of bis unprincipled behavior towards Crescenz, Ae finally marries Hildegarde at the risk of offending his family and being cut off from them. Such is the main plot of the story. The whole tendency of the work is demoralizing, and it lacks the redeeming qualities of Deing well constructed and elegantly written. ‘The first number of a serial publication of Moore’s “Trish Melodies” bas been issued in Columbus, Ohio. ‘Ten numbers will complete the series.

President Woodford placed his watch on the desk before him, and thenceforward strictly enforced the rule, ‘THE EXCISN AMENDMENTS, A motion to consider the bill making amendments to the Excise law was under debate this morning in the Senate. Mr. O'Donnell got the floor, and argued against the measure, saying that the friends of temperance and all interested were satisfied with the present law. Mr. T. Murphy read telegrams from Mr. Schultz, Pre- sident of the Board of Excise; President Acton, of the Police Commissioners, and Mr. Eaton, counsel of the Excise Board, announcing their satisfaction with the Proposed amendments. Mr. O'Donnell said he had received a message of simi- lar character to those read, but he doubted their authen- ticity. Having consumed his five minutes, he sprung a parliamentary trap on the friends of the bill by calling for third readings—an order of business which could be deviated from only by unanimous consent—and so the amendmonts went over for tho time, They may be acted upon this evening.

THE CLOSING HOURS OF THE SESSION. A few minutes after nine o'clock the Assembly adopted and sent to the Senate a resolution proposing adjourn- ment at ten o'clock. During the absence of the messen- ger a recess was taken, wheroupon ® boisterous and up- roarious scene took place. Segars were brought forth and lighted; the members disposed themselves for a free and easy time, the facetious member from Kings county took tho chair and made a funny speech; tho lec- tarer, Ned Underhill, mounted the Clerk’s desk and recited one of his corhicalities; deputations were received from the third House; jokes, good and bad, were hurled from mouth to mouth, and the pro- ceedings of the Legislature and the peculiarities of its officers burlesqued and parodied, all to the delight of thronged lobby and gallery, where cock crows and cheers responded to the humorous efforts of the members, After an hour spent in this questionable and somewhat undignified amusement, a message was received from the Senate, proposing the hour of balf-past eleven, Messages con- tinued to vibrate between both branches, the presiding officers made their farewell speeches, and the Governor sent word that he had no further communications to make, At length, at two minutes past twelve o'clock, this (Sanday) morning, the ninetieth Legislature of the State of New York was declared adjourned sine dic.
