THE GIFT BOOKS FOR 1851. SECOND NOTICE. A group of magnificent books, fiom the ,—< of Messrs. D. Appleton &, Cos. of New \ o rk, will lorni the eliiet theme of the present ari.c-le, a;. J might well claim a far more ex tL.;: :ed nonce than our limits will allow. It is compo-eil of four distinct works, each of them reflecting credit upon the taste and munificent eiiierprize of its publishers, whose numerous h*s aie daily teeming with valuable issues ,u almost every department of Literature and Science. They have recently erected upon Headway, a splendid store, for the proper dis- I ~y of their varied and extensive stock, both , i their own and of imported books. It pre , sa lofiy and imposing front of brown stone, 1 j? unquestionably the finest book-store in the United States. But to the group of books iinder our notice; and of these we name first, Our Saviour, with I’rophets and Apos ru:s. Many of our readers have seen and ad mire-cl a superb volume eniitied The Women of rut. Bible, containing highly-finished steel I .traits, illustrated by biographical sketches, I >iu the pen- i t distinguished American Di . It was justly pronounced the most mag n incut gift hook ol the last season A eom- Ia i.on volume to that, and every way worthy , i being connected with it, is the work before us. Ii is an imperial octavo, bound in massive arabesque morocco. The portraits are eighteen in number, and are executed on steel, from Pmderi's matchless pictures. They display the b. In-si possible excellence of line and stipple engraving, and form a rare and invaluable gal oi -acred portraits, in the contemplation and admiration of which, the mind and heart ( i tlie thoughtful and devout beholder must lind at once inspiration and delight. The por trait of “ Our Saviour” piesents a rare blend ing of inetlible tenderness and indescribable dignity, and nearly every one of the lesser sub jects is marked by characteristic excellence. It is not too high praise to say of them, that they are a collection of portraits in which are dis pl ived every possible perfection of humanity. The biographical sketches are remarkable for their comprehensiveness and elegance of style, and rarely, if ever before, have so many exqui si;c portraitures, by different hands, been grouped m a single volume. The religious public owes a large debt ol gratitude to the publishers for this splendid work, beyond all comparison the most precious of the Sacred Gilt Books for the approaching holidays. Passing to the second of our group, we have a volume of similar size to the former, but of greater thiekness, and we find upon its back, in ipaiint Kl.zabethun text, the inscription, The Queens of England. The title-page farther minims us that it is “ a Series of Por cius of distinguished female Sovereigns, drawn nid engraved by eminent artists, with biograph cal and historical sketches, from Agues Striek and.” From the earliest times of England's mon irchy down to the present era of her world cuowned grandeur, scores of female names lave graced her throne, aud shone with more ir less of regal splendour in her brilliant an nuls. Twenty-eight of these, from Matilda of Flanders, wife of William the Conqueror, to • r Gracious Majesty, Victoria the Queen-reg nant, are embraced in this beautiful volume, which thus conducts us through a queenly pic ture gallery, where we stop and dwell upon each face, while the story of an eventful file is breathed into our eager ear by one whose fas cmaiions of utterance have been every where cuntessed. Would that we had time to beguile >ur readers’ attention to some of the sweet and Noble faces that this royal gallery contains—to that ol tiie beautiful Eleanora, the first of the I’loviucal line of Princesses who, allied to the I’hiiitagaiiet kings, greatly afiected the desti uii's of England—of the illustrious Philippa of Ilainauit—of the unfortunate but fascinating Anne Boleyn—of the stately and magnificent Elizabeth—and last, though not least, of Vie nna, whose name is a spell to every British licait 1 We have named these iew, and this is all we may now do. We sincerely hope, how et’ r, that some of our fair readers will have tbs happiness of being made possessors, in fee ‘hiqi.v, of all the exquisite pictures in the col kit.oii we have thus briefly described. A Book of tiie Passions is an elegant edi -luu of .Mr. James’ well-known book of this came, embellished with sixteen fine steel en graving?, each having reference to the stories comprised in the work. It is a royal octavo ‘oTiuc, of much mechanical as well as intel lectual beauly and merit. Evenings at Donaldson Alanor is the hap py title chosen for a collection of stories by a lavourhc daughter of the South, Miss Maria J. -Mclntosh. It has been so recently noticed and commended in our ‘Book Table,’ as to render ‘t un icccssary for us to say moie than this ol ‘■.that it is one of the most charming and up- F pnate holiday or gift-books which this pro life season has brought forth, and should meet v -;tli especial favour from our readers. e have yet another group of these “ books 01 beauty” of which to make particular men !,,J| i> but must reserve them for next week's pa- P er - Those described above are all for sale at -Ml Russell's. HOW DO YOU DO! An ingenious writer in the London Quarterly j'fcicir, has undertaken to show that national ■ ‘mis of salutation are true indices of national character, and that the best history of a people may be found in its dictionary. Thus among ali ravage and warlike peoples, the common salutation conveys a prayer or wish that the Person saluted may enjoy Peace —the summum ,J '"“iin of individuals as well as nations, in such a ‘-'uiidition of hie. Throughout the Bible this ie invariable blessing —Shu him. ’ The wan ’ rm g Bedouins of the desert have to this day ’ same form of salutation. The fatalism oi •H shows itself in the phrase; “If God uil < thou art well.” Peace be upon thee,” says the fluent and “ Persian. “ How is the state of thine ‘■uiiour!” *• 1 make prayers for thy greatness !” iny thy shadow never be less !” This latter IJ ,n smack* of summer aud of the South. ’ :i a salutation would make a Northman er - It shows, too, a proper respect for J lor a dignified, aldermanic rotundity ! Ihe Greeks, a joyful people and full of the ’ lour of a life of action and success, offered ‘ -ulututiorr in the single word x al P e —“ re * Juice!” he salutation of the Romans was founded |J JQ l he idea of bodily strength and aptitude for war: with them virtue— virtus, manhood, was synonymous with being “ frigoris el fa mei patient, and they said salve, tale —be healthy, be strong. The commercial and enter prising Genoese of the Middle Ages used to a!Ly,Saneta e guedagno —health and gain! a phrase than which nothing could be more char acteristic. The obsequious Italian ol the pre sent day humbly announces himself “ your slave.” The proud Castilian says Buenas tardes —good late, instead of good evening, and his vaya con Dios, Senor Caballero ! has a taste ol strong self-respect, mingled with re ligious reverence. In his, “ May you live a thousand years,” are seen traces of the Moor. The phrase is too hyperbolical to have origi nated in Europe. Comment vous portez-vous, contains, says our reviewer, the very soul of the French character, their manners their history; and not only gives us a portrait of their past, but helps us to au almost inialhble prognostication of their future. Qu :l.tas is monstrously developed in proportion to qu mditas. How is the formula not what. The Ftenchman busies himself mainly with the shapes and shows of things, and therefore comment is the leading stroke in that involuntary photograph which he strikes off fifty times a day. Then the portez-vous, “ How do you carry yourself!”—an expression of the eager, restless, vivacious manners of the nation. In this Comment vous partez-vous, is manifested the theatrical character, in perfec tion—the instant identification of the person speaking with the person spoken to. Comment fa va-t-il ? is of the same tone and character. Leben Sie wohl, “ live thou well,” is the kind wish expressed in the salutation of the easy, fat, phlegmatic German. The “ swag-bellied Hollander,” entirely devoid of poetry and senti ment, salutes you with Hoe vaart’s-ge —“ how fare you ?” which typifies his trading, voyaging character. In Sweden they say llur md nif —“ how can you ! ’ —that is, are you strong and vigor ous ; and Far wal —“farewell.” John Bull and Brother Jonathan, in a hearty, cordial, but business-like tone, greet you with, “How are you i” and “How do you do!” VV hat could be more characteristic of the great and potential Anglo-Saxon race ? To do .’ “ You do of course—of this there is no ques tion—this is the all ol life, but how do you do! “ How are you ?” This is multum, or rather uniter sum, inparvo! It embraces all—health, wealth, knowledge, power. What could we say more ? And here it is all in three words, “ How are you ?” It is answered in thiee words: “I am well !” “ How do you do ?” Again the answer is, “Well”—I do well! Reader, “ How do you do ?” * (Pur tesiji Column. Magnolia Cemetery. This beautiful suburban burial-place was con secrated by appropriate services on Tuesday last. We were present upon the occasion and shared in the interest manifested by a large and very select audience. The consecration-prayer was offered by Rev. W. C. Dana, after which an address was read by Charles Fraser, Esq., in which he reviewed the history of sepulture, and presented a great many interesting facts and illustrations, in a style at once chaste and elegant. He was followed by W. Gilmore Simms, Esq., who delivered an elaborate poem, entitled, “ The City of the Silent.” Our limits will not allow us to speak at any length of its merits. It was characterized by the author’s wonted vigour of thought and melody of versi fication, and contained many passages of rare beauty and tenderness ol sentiment. The poet presented a series of graphic pictures of the various modes of burial among different na tions of antiquity ; and contrasted them very felicitously with the modern rites of sepulture. It was a performance of so much excellence that we hope to see it, as also the classic ad dress of Mr. Fraser, in print. The services were enlivened by two appropriate odes, sung, in admirable style, by a portion of Mr. Robin son’s class. Thus were the grounds of the Magnolia Cemetery set apart as ‘ the dwelling place of the dead,’ where, amid all >he varied beauties of Nature and the graceful decorations of Art, the living may hallow the repose of the departed, and contemplate Death in its serenest and fairest aspects. We sincerely hope thut the ‘ Magnolia Cemetery ’ may rival in beauty the ‘ Greenw’oods ’ and ‘ Mount Auburns’ of less genial climes. Judge Lumpkin’s Address. We were among the delighted auditors of the second Annual Address before the South Carolina Institute, delivered by the Hon. Jo seph Henry Lumpkin, on Monday night last. Every part of the theatre was thronged, and the audience presented a brilliant array. The theme of the orator was the policy of the South in the encouragement of manufactures, and many forcible arguments and apposite illustrations were adduced in support of the speaker’s views. He presented glowing pictures of what the South can and ought to become, by the proper development of her wonderful resources ; and our imaginations of her future greatness and splendour were kindled to unwonted fervour beneath his eloquence. We have not time or space to present an analysis of his addiess, which, however, we hope to do when it is pub lished. Meanwhile we must content ourselves by describing it as replete with sound reason, beautiful imagery, and a diction at once chaste and elegant. The only regret we experienced was that the distinguished speaker’s impaired health compelled him to confine himself too closely to his MS. to allow him to adopt that bewitching style of oratory for which his ex tempore addresses are so justly celebrated. Eulogy on Mr. Calhoun. We have barely time to chronicle, very briefly,the services which took place tins morn ing (Thursday) in commemoration of the vir tues of the illustrious Calhoun. Avery large procession of citizens and visitors was formed at the Oily Hall, and after inarching through several streets, it halted at the Circular Church, on Meeting-street, which was soon densely crowded in every part. After religious services by Rev. Dr. Post, Gen. James 11. Hammond pronounced a eulogy on the departed states man , in “ thoughts that breathe and words that burn.” It was one of the most elegant, exalted and fervent tributes to the virtues of the dead to which we ever listened, and it was not its least charm, that while every eye kindled with de light at the orator’s eloquent words, every heart confessed the justice and fitness of the praises he uttered. We have not time to say more of it now than this—that Carolina’s noblest son lias found a worthy eulogist. Rev. Dr. Manly, The name of this distinguished gentleman has been, of late, repeatedly mentioned in con nection with the Presidency of the South Ca rolina College. As there seems to remain no doubt that the College is to lose the services of its present able President, the question of the succession is a very important one. We allude to it now simply to express our cordial approval of the suggestion that the Rev. Dr. Manly would fill the post with the greatest possible benefit and honour to the Institution. SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. The Fair. We go to press too early this week to allow of an extended notice of the Fair of the South Carolina Institute, now being held in the Mili tary Hall. It opened on Tuesday, but many articles were subsequently received, aud the dis play was not perfected until the second day of the exhibition. Next week we shall notice lully several features of the Fair, and shall therefore content ourselves now with saying that while all our hopes and expectations, as to the extent and diversity of objects, are not re alized, there is yet much in the exhibition to animate the hearts of the friends of Industry, and to excite them to renewed zeal in their la bours for the development of mechanical genius and skill in the South. We notice a very in genious and beautiful machine for sharpening the teeth of saw-gins, invented in Columbus, Ga.—handsome brooms from No-th Carolina, highly finiHied dental instruments from Colum bia, and many other items, of which we shall make particular mention. The attendance of our citizens, and also of visitors front the inte rior, has been, aud continues to be, very large and constant. Soiree Musicale. We had the pleasure of being present, a few evenings since, at a Conceit given by the Misses Sloirian, at their residence, and consist ing chiefly of the performances of the pupils of these accomplished ladies. A rare degree ol excellence in both instrumental and vocal music was displayed by the performers, and we wete especially gratified and indeed surprised by the proficiency exhibited by some very joung pupils, whose style of playing would have done credit to pupils of twice their age and practice in music. We pay but a merited tiibute to the Misses Sloman when we say that the Concert reflected the highest credit upon their skiil and fidelity as instructors in the ex quisite Art of Music. Temperance Hall. Ibis hall was thronged to overflowing on 1 uesday night, by an audience which paid un stinted homage to the glowing eloquence of the Hon. Judge Lumpkin, in behalf of the 1 empcrance cause—a cause to which he has long consecrated some of the noblest powers of his mind, and in which some of the brightest trophies of his fame as an orator have been won. It is needless to say that upon the occa sion now referred to, and although physically indisposed, he met fully the public expectation, and filled Temperance Hall with the strains of a fervid and subduing eloquence, whose echoes will linger there long alter he has departed from our midst. Harriet Martineau Has published a letter in one of the London journals, advocating the formation of a “com bined household ’ for destitute gentlewomen. She states that there is a large number of ladies in London, of refined education and habits, who have been reduced by the chances of life to a state of indigence and suffering. They are out of the sphere of charity, helped at all, must help themselves. By uniting their funds, and availing themselves of the economies ot combination, Miss Martineau contends that they would be relieved from a listless and un cotnfortable life, and secure a much brighter and more cheerful existence. Somewhat such a plan was suggested by Robert Southey, and has attracted the attention of other philanthro pists. * Moore, the Poet. The Dumfries Courier has the following an ecdote ol the once witty and accomplished Irishman : He was lately present when a gentleman was requested to sing. The gentleman sat down at the piano, and in token ol admiration, sung one of the Irish minstrel’s own choicest strains. When he had finished, the poet exclaimed, “ flow beautiful! I have surely heard that be fore.” V\ e mention the incident, not wantonly to draw the veil from the countenance of s!eep tng genius, but because there is no one but must be deeply afiected when they thus strikingly find that— “ The harp that once through Tara’s halls 1 lie soul ol music shed. Now hangs as mute on Tara’s walls As it the soul were tied.” ” Musical Neighbours.” It we mistake not, this capital sketch, which tiie leader will find on our second page, will be extensively appreciated. We know not a few who can sympathize fully with Miss Lucy Lane, in her grievous tribulations. * Cabinet Portraits. W e invite the attention of our city readers to the advertisement in another column of Mr. Egan. Those who are in want of Cabinet or life-size poitraits, would do well to give him a call at his studio. Notes above Par. 1 he most valuable notes of which we have any knowledge, are those which issue from the throat ot the Swedish Nightingale. They are not only current but above par. (Our 36bd|{ (T'uliir. Additional Memoirs of My Youth. By A. de La martine. New York: Harper Sc Brothers. 1850. In his preface to this volume, Lamartine no tices the attacks of the critics—“the stern, rude men,” as he calls them, “ who will not yield till we weep,” on his previous work— Memoirs of My Youth, in which they harshly condemned him for thus unveiling his soul to the world. He says that the Confessions were published under the influence of a fatal neces sity, and that the same necessity impels him to brave again the censure ol the critics, by giving to the wot Id more of his heart’s secret history. We have read these heart-revelations with a deeper interest than that with which we peruse a romance, but with a feeling of regret, mingled with something like reproach. But whether Lamartine is right or wrong in thus making the world his confidante, the wot Id will eagerly read what he has written. Mr. Russell has the work. * Tiie Churches and Sects of the United States, containing a brief account of the Origin, History, Doc trines, Church Government, Mode of Wonhip, Usages, and Statistics ot each religions denomination, so far as known. By Rev. P. Douglass Gorrie. New York: Lewis Colby. This unpretending little manual possesses the real and rare merit of being a candid exposition of the history and tenets of the religious sects of this country, as exhibited in their respective books, or taught by their respective leaders. So far as we have examined it, it appears to be without prejudice or prepossession, and is un questionably the most comprehensive volume, in proportion to its size, yet published concern ing denominational characteristics. It will be found of great service to the student of limited resources, and also to the general reader. We are indebted to Messrs. George Parks &, Cos. for a copy of the work. Eulooy on the Late Hon. John C. Calhoun, deli vered before the Chrestomathic and Cliosophic Societies of the College of Charleston, July 6th, 1850. By Fre deric A. Porcher, Professor of Belles Lettres, College of Charleston. Published by request of the Cliosophic Society. Charleston: C. Canning. 1850. We arc indebted to the Cliosophic Society, at whose request it was published, for a copy of this eloquent and earnest tribute to the memory of Carolina’s illustrious statesman. It does credit to its author and is not unworthy to be sent forth in the name of the Literary Societies of the Charleston College. * Beranoer: Two Hundred of his Lyrical Poems, done into English Verse. By William Young. New York : George P. Putnam. 1850. The author of these very clever translations is an Englishman and the editor of the New York Albion. The American public has cause to be grateful to him for introducing to them, in so graceful and Anglo-Saxon garb, the great Gallic song-writer. is pe haps the most popular poet that ever lived. He is, and has been for the last quarter of a century, the idol of the French people. His songs are equally the admiration of the savan and the delight of the.unlettered men of the blouse, with whom some of them are as familiar and as dear as the nursery songs which their mothers sang over their cradles. They are intensely national and Republican and at the same time eminently genial, vivacious and cheerful. They seem to gush out of the singer’s heart—sponta neous, bird-like and full of melody. They are such songs as only a Frenchman could write. They are natural, lively and earnest. They appeal to popular sensibilities and to popular sympathies, and are written in the vigorous and idiomatic language of the people rather than the classic French of the Academie This fact renders the task of translation diffi cult—in many cases almost impossible, The merry Roi d’ Yevetot, Le Vieux Caporal, and Le bon Francois, usually make but a sorry figure in any other than their native costume. Mr. Young has succeeded in clothing them in an English garb, without making them either John Bulls or Jonathans. The few translators who have hitherto at lempted to render Beranger’s songs into Eng lish, have, in most cases, made decided failures. Mr. Young, entering into the spirit of the ori ginal, has preserved, in a great measure, their freshness, their wit, and even their peculiar rhythm and melody. Take, as an illustration, the opening stanza of that expressive little ode, Ma Vocation, in rendering which other trans lators have so signally failed. The original runs as follows; Jete sur cette boule, Laid chitiff et souffrant, Etoufle dans la I'oule, Faut d’etre assez grand ; Une plaint touchante De ma bouche sortit, Le bon Dieu medit: chante, Chante pouvre petit. It is thus “ done into English ” by Mr. Young: Plain, sorry, and sickly, Adrift on this ball, Trodden down by the masses, Because I’m so small, To my lips when a murmur Wdl touchingly spring, God whispers me kindly, “ Sing, little one, sing!” \\ c have no room here to give specimens of Mr. Young’s translations, but shall hereafter copy several of the songs in another depart ment of our paper. We need hardly add that the work is well printed and handsomely bound, as books that come from Mr. Putnam’s press are never otherwise. * History of I’ropellkrs and Steam Navigation, with Biographical Sketches of the Earl/ Inventors. By Robert Macfarlane, C. E, Editor of the •'Scientific American.” New York; Geo. P. Putnatn. 1850. This is a handsome vo unte of 144 pages, well printed and illustrated with numerous en gravings. It possesses no small degree of in terest and value to the general reader, who de sires to be well informed in relation to the pro gress of the age, in science and mechanical skill. To the inventor and the scientific me chanic, it must prove an important acquisition. Engravings representing the first rude attempts at the construction of steam-boats are given. The contrasts between these and the splen did ocean steam ships of our day are great in deed. * Farmer’s Giide to Scientific and Practical Aorici ltcre. New York; 1,. Scott Hi Cos. Number 8 contains the first part of Profes sor Norton’s American Notes, and is therefore one of the most valuable numbers yet issued. Nos. 9 and 11 (No. 10 missing) have been re ceived. The nun bers comprise about G 4 pages each and cost only 25 cents. The work will be completed in about 22 numbers. For sale by John Russell. * Pictorial Field Book or the Revolution. By Benson J. Lowing. New York: Harper &. Brothers. 1850. The eighth and ninth numbers of this beau tifully illustrated serial have been received.

Mr. Rus sell, King street, has the work for sale. * A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy, The Fragment, and the History of a Good Warm Watch-Coat. By Laurence Sterne. Grieg, Elliott & Cos.

The work is beautifully printed * (Dur Cnutriiipnrnrira. The Charleston Medical Journal.

An Anti-Slavery meeting in Faneuil Hall, Boston, on the 14th instant, at which George Thompson, the Engli.-h Abolitionist, was expected to speak, broke up in a row. The voices of the speakers were drowned by cheers for Webster and the Union, and groans for John Bull. According to the accounts given in our Northern exchanges, the scene was “rich” in the extreme. 3ta nf tlje Dni[. The Fire. —A fire broke out about 1 o’clock on Tuesday morning last, in the Foundry and Steam Manufactory of Messrs. Cameron, McDermid & Mustard, at the foot of the street leading to Patton’s wharf, which was burned to the ground, together with the Foundry of Messrs. Lockwood & Johnson, the Black smith Shops of Mr. Jeffords and Mr. Corby, and two wooden houses on Pritchard-street, owned by Mr. Smyser. Messrs. Cameron, McDermid & Mustard were but very partially insured. We are sure the ready sympathies and aid of their numer ous friends will not be withheld, and that they will he enabled to resume their business as soon as suitable buildings can be erected. Mr. Smyser was insured in the Hartford Insurance Company. About two li; ndred men and boys are thrown out of employment by this calamity. The efforts of our efficient Fire Department on this occasion were energetic and unwearied, as usual, but the want of water rendered their exertions of much less avail than they other wise would have been. No more lessons of this kind will, we trust, be needed to incite our citizens to action in regard to a supply of water for the city. We must have it, cost what it may. * Hr Another paper is about to be commenced at Washington City. It is a daily, to be called The Constitution, published by Robert Farn liarn &.
