If there Were any heart and feeling in human gov ernments —if national conscience ami na tional morality were not extinct, all the liberal powers of Christendom would at once suspend all diplomatic intercourse with the Courts of those imperial assassins—their “Christian Majesties” of Austria and Rus sia. As it is what will he done ? England and France w ill protest against the course pursued by Austria, and expostulate with her perhaps, but there the affair will end. Our Government will, of course, do nothing. But ought not our people to speak ? Our sympathy will now avail little to the Hun garians, but it is not too late to let the im perial butchers hear the voice of indignant Freemen. * ©ui* ©ossip Column. An American Absolutist. Orestes, (Brownson) in his last Re view, utters the most violent invectives against the brave defenders of European Liberty, vvhom he styles enemies of God and j man. He would of course place Washington, Bolivar, Tell and Kosciusco, in the same category with Mazzini, Kossuth and Gari baldi. Hear him: “ The people rejoice over the victories of ! the insurrectionists, and weep over their defeats, but have not one tear to shed over the brave soldiers who are murdered in their endeavors to preserve social order and whatever else is dear and sacred to the un- I perverted human heart. Their heroes and I model men are such enemies of God and j man, of society, of true liberty, such mis- ] creans, as the Muzzinis, the Kossutlis, the Ledru Rollins, the Blums, the Boms, the Garibaldis—vile criminals, deserving noth- ! ing but the extreme vengeance of the law, j and the execration of every man who has a human heart.” South Carolina Institute. We wish to cajl the attention of our read- j ers to the advertisement of the first Annual j Fair and Exhibition of tiiis important and s highly promising Society. The Fair will commence on the 20tli inst., in Military I Ball, Charleston. Ex-Governor Hammond will deliver an Address on the first evening j We learn that the contributions already received warrant the belief that the exhibi tion will exceed the expectations of its most sanguine friends. We hope that the Fair will be thronged with visitors. The value j of the Institution can hardly be over-esti- ! mated, and it should he encouraged and j fostered by the people. Our Contemporaries.

Lee. Some three or four weeks have elapsed since the sad announcement was made in our columns of the death of this amiable and accomplished poetess. A want of time [ alone has prevented us from paying a tribute J to her memory —such as our knowledge and | long appreciation of her excellence would have justified. While we were suffering some self-reproach at our constrained negli gence we received from our friend I)r.

The History omit: United States of Ame rica. from the dls-overy of the Continent to the erg v'iz.a' : eu of Government under the Federal Cat.stitutien. By Riehanl Hildreth In three volt 8 v<>. New York: Harper X Bro.h rs. A want of leisure for the examination of the third and last volume of Mr. Hildreth's compendious work, has delayed our notice of its appearance perhaps unwarrantably long It affords us pleasure, at length, to say that the high opinion we conceived of the work from the first volume is fully con firmed by the subsequent portions, nnd wc hail it as a most reliable—candid and tho roughly comprehensive history—speaking much for the industry nnd discrimination of the author. To those who look for the brilliance and picturesqueness of Macaulay in Mr. Hildreth, a severe disappointment is inevitable. The absence of these cha racteristics does not, however, either in validate the integrity or diminish the value of the work before us. These arc positive, and independent of the style of the author, which is not perhaps peculiarly attractive though always correct and perspicuous.— His narrative is straightforward and un varnished—his inferences are natural and iogieal. He has w ritten like a man aware of the dignity of his theme, and has made no pretensions to eloquence of diction or to splendor of illustration. He has evidently felt the responsibilities of liis task and has performed it with an earnest purpose of truth and justice. Without approving all his conclusions—without endorsing all his verdicts on the actions and characters of his heroes —we may yet, and do most cordially, acknowledge our general satisfaction with the manner in which he has executed a del j icate and important labor. An appendix to ; the third volume embraces besides the nu j merous authorities consulted by the au | thor —a very full and copious analytical [ index to the work which adds much to its completeness and value. No American Li brary will henceforward be complete with out a copy of Mr. Hildreth's History. The Old World, or Scene- an 1 Ci ies hi Fo eign Lauds. By Willi; m Furni s. N w York: I). Appleton & Cos. Phila Iphia : G S. Apple on, 1850 Books of Travel and Sketches of Scenery and Society in Europe, have been multi plied till all available ground seems to have been occupied and improved, and we now scarcely expect in anew book in this line anything else that is new. If the oft re peated descriptions of men, tilings, of places and customs are reproduced in a pleasant style, we are satisfied that the au thor has done all that could reasonably be expected of him. On this ground the work before us must certainly be commended.— It is written in a lively and gossiping style, which renders even descriptions of places and tilings which have been described a thousand times before, highly interesting. While we find little that, is really new in Mr. Furniss’ book, we find much that had not previously been placed before us in so clear a light - And the work is not entire ly devoid of the element of novelty. In the ti>o „ ..*1...--.. ,L^..-: r *L—- .aa — ~~r- ’ in and around Constantinople especially, there is a great deal of freshness, and some thing that is new, to us, at least. JVe have j marked a description of the “ Feast of Bui raam ” for insertion in our “ Library ” Department. The following paragraph con tains a quaint sketch of a quaint little town in Old England and will give the reader an ideo of Mr. Furniss’pleasant style of de scription : * “ By early dawn wc were out, and see ing the quaint and funny town of Chester. There never was a place made up of such odds and ends. It is a curious, and about the only , relic of the walled towns of “Old England.” It is a singular patch work of Saxon antiquity, Roman cohorts, middle-aged persecution, and modern im provements. Here a bit of railroad, there a bit of church. Now walls overtopping I houses give sly winks into private bed i rooms, and crowd out bits of the town ; then ! pieces of tow n hang over the walls, where I straggling abutments thrust out their el bows over the ditch. Here a Roman hot bath, there a Saxo-Gothic cathedral. Be yond, three rows of galleries peep curious ly over the street, and almost project to the opposite piazzas; anon, the streets them selves lose their way among this labyrinth of crazy tenon outs, whilst the whole vil lage is jumbled in sucli wild confusion of shapes and design, as if the ancient car penter who built here had taken his houses and thrown them at random on the parish.” Commerce of the Pra r es. or tin- Journal of a Santa Fe Trader, &c. By .1-s ph G egg 2 vols. Philadelphia : J. \V. Moore. These are by no means dull volumes, though their title may uot seem an attrac tive one, and the reader may think that they only cover ground already occupied by such writers as Irving, Iloffinan and Kendall. The fact is four of the topics dis cussed by Mr. Gregg are not touched at all by the writers above named. Mr. Gregg made eight expeditions across the Great Western Prairies, and resided nearly nine years in Northern Mexico, du ring which time he was actively engaged in the Commerce of that country and across the Prairies. He had therefore superior advantages for acquiring correct informa tion on the various topics treated. The reader will see that ho male good use of his facilities. He gives a full and lucid ac count of the Santa Fe Trade and tlie modes of conducting it, with much interesting in formation connected with the early bistort and present condition of the people of New Mexico, and the Indian tribes by which the wild regions of that country are inhabited. He also touches ou many collateral topics of interest. The work is illustrated witli maps and engravings. * Sketched of Life and Charactkh, By T. S Arthur. Illu-traled with lti eagrnvi gs ami portrait of the author. Philadelphia: J. W Bradley Without any genius, Mr. Arthur pos sesses nevertheless a fair talent and con siderable tact, which have enabled him to produce a large amount of popular fiction. He illustrates the common-places of life with a good degree of skill; seizes on the prominent moral points of society, and sur rounds them with the drapery of fiction, so that they attract the attention of the multi tudes. He must be content with a popu larity confined to the present, for there is ! certainly nothing in his works to make them immortal. They deserve praise for their tendency rather than intellectual me rit—and as household readings, have a de cided value. Mr. Bradley has made a neat and comprehensive selection of his most and successful stories. j Q. Ct’RTH Ret t, Ee Gestis A’cxandri Ma-zni, Regis Macednnuin, Lib iqui supersunt VIII.

A School Compendii m <>f Natural an 1 Expe rimental Philosophy. By Richard Grcm Par ker, A. M. New York: A. S. Barnes & Cos. We have examined this book carefully and consider it the very best elementary text book in Natural Philosophy extant.— This is saying a great deal for it we know; but it is said with reason. The work is more thorough—more philosophical—more modern and more intelligible than any j other with which we are acquainted.— Teachers would do well to introduce it into their schools. A hook of “ first lessons ” lias also been prepared from this compen dium which is admirably adapted to its | purpose. The Pilot. A T.-le of :h f?ea. By the aitl.or of Th Fpy,” & • ( n -vol , 12mo. pp 48fi New York: Gen. P. Putnam. This is a revised and corrected edition of one of llr. Cooper's very best works —and one of the very finest sea stories ever writ ten, Twenty-six years have elapsed since it was first published, and unlike many contemporaneous works, it has become more and more popular with its successive edi tions. It is now issued in a typographical dress worthy of its fame, and wc read it with a fresh interest from the beautiful pages of Mr. Putnam’s edition. Mr. Cooper is unquestionably the ablest American novelist —nnd one whose name and fame are identified with American lit erature. To commend liis works is entire ly unnecessary; they are already “known and read of all men.” This volume end the Spy are the only ones yet issued in Put nam’s uniform edition.

Their previous church music books have been, and still are, very popular— but they claim to have made great improve ments iu the present work, especially in the introduction of beautiful melodies and cho rals from the German collection. It has also an Appendix, embracing the old and favorite tunes in general use. We commend the Mendelssohn Collection to choristers and amateurs. The Fountain of Livr.o Waters ; A Scries of Sketch'?, By Layman. New York: Geo. P. Patn.-im, 1850. This is one of those books which are tlieir own reward to the author—who might with propriety —though “ dying, wisli no line to blot,” of the graceful and beautiful ‘ sketch es ’ which Ins pen has traced.

The publishers have done well to issue in a style corresponding totheirvery excellent edition of Macaulay's History of England from the accession of James 11., that of Mr. Hume, embracing the entire antecedent annals of the kingdom. Mr. Hume’s work is among the ablest histories ever written— and will be acceptable to thousands of rea ders iu tlie very cheap but neat style in which it appears. Six volumes will em brace tlie entire work. As Messrs.

The .Yew York Sun says : “ There is no security to life or property in the republic, and even in the city of Mexico assassinations and robberies are committed in broad day-light, in the very face of the authorities, and yet dare not move to prevent such outrages or punish the villains. The people are dis satisfied with the government. A large portion of tiicni openly advocate annexation to the American Union as their July hope, while others call for the return of Santa Anna. Two pronunciamcntos have been made for his return, but the stronger party arc in favor of annexation. El Siglio XIX is a stirring annexation paper, and a tre mendous war of words is constantly carried on between it and El Monitor, the govern ment paper. The feeling in favor of the United States is very strong and constantly growing. Every one except those who are in power regret the day the Americans left country, and long for their return. If Americans could be induced to emigrate in large bodies and settle in Mexico perma nently, they would be gladly received.— They could obtain all the land they desired free of charge, ami become owners of any mines they might discover.
