Heels, or some of the other volcanic mountains with which this island abounds. At other times they would cross extensive marsh lands, abound ing in a damp, warm, clayey mud, from which issued a thick smoke and steamy mist—arising, probably, from the vapours of the numerous geysers, or hot sulphurous springs of the country— causing a muggy warmth in the atmosphere, in strange contrast with the naturally intense cold of the climate. The dismal aspect of this bleak and barren territory is partially relieved by small towns and villages, at a great distance from one another, or by a few lonsly farms, dotted hers and there over the face of the interior, and sometimes pitched on the side of steep bare hills, or preci pitous mountains. Solitary churches likewise occasionally diversify the scene, and these edifices are more rudely constructed, and of simpler materials, than perhaps the oldest and most un pretending rural church in England, being, in the word,' of our author, " long, low, barn-like " structures, built of wo od, flanked on each side by walls of turf, of the thickness of many feet, and usually roofed with felt. Notwithstanding the general barrenness of the Icelandic soil, there are several bright patches of verdure and pasture land in the country, and wide grassy plains, or long strips of earth, covered with vegetation of various kinds, appearing like oases in the desert. Mr. Shepherd says that in some of the more sheltered spots attempts have been made to grow a few common European vegetables, but with no great success. All the corn re quired by the people is imported, and the trees are but few and stunted. The inhabitants of the interior of Iceland seem in many respects as simple and primitive in their manners and modes of life as in their buildings. They are often cf a diffident and retiring nature, but very friendly and hospitable to strangers. The women employed at the farms occupy themselves in making stockings. gloves ' and other articles of apparel, while the men attend to the cattle. Many of the higher classes and of the better educated Icelanders are very in telligent. There are but few men of any rank who cannot read, and books are found in most houses. Many of the clergy are so fluent in the use of Latin that it was not unfrequently made a means of com munication between them and our travellers. At one of the farmhouses where they halted the host was a shrewd, clever man, who had travelled a good deal in Europe, having been employed as surveyor of timber in the Danish dockyards, and, his busi ness having often taken him to England, he could speak English pretty well. From this individual our author learnt that, during the heavy snow storms, farms in exposed places are sometimes completely covered in, so that the inhabitants are obliged to cut steps in the snow to the roofs of their houses, and plant large flagstones on the top as landmarks. The same is done with the sheep ! and cattle-houses, and the Icelander digs through ! the snowdrift to the roof, and lets himself down to the flock below. On the 29th of July Mr. Shep herd and his friends returned to Reykja-vik, with out having been able, owing to stress of weather and other drawbacks, to accomplish the one great object of their expedition into the interior, viz., the ascent of the Online Jokull mountain. Never theless, their trouble was not wholly unrewarded, for they saw much that was interesting, and Mr. Shepherd's little volume contains a good deal of curious matter relative to Icelandic life and habits, and to a part of the island that had never hitherto been described, or even fully explored. The worki is embellished with two admirable tinted illustra-1 tiona, taken from drawings made on the spot by Mr. Fowler, which give a vivid idea of the dark and savage grandeur, the remoteness, and gloom of Icelandic scenery. tittrature.

In to-day's sitting of the First Chamber, during the debate on the budget, the Minister of Foreign Affairs made a speech, in which, referring to the difficulties with Belgium on the subject of the Scheldt, he said that the South Beveland Canal fully answers all the maritime exigencies of Bel gian commerce. Ho also touched upon the Luxem burg question, and declared that it was not Holland that had given the first impulse to the negotiations on that subject. The budgets for the departments of foreign affairs and justice were adopted by the Chamber. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 23. It is expected that a Turkish Representative Assembly will shortly be established, composed of sixty members, and having committees for the several administrative departments.

THE MARRIAGE OF THE COUNT OP FLANDERS. —The Echo dot Pm-lenient of Brussels has the following remarks d propos of the of the Count of Flanders: —." Will it not be said that this alliance indicates a too manifest leaning towards one of the two powers whose , antagonism at this moment causes so many anxieties, and I this tendency at such an instant, is it compatible wit h the absolute neutrality of Belgium? Any one would be much ' mistaken in attributing to the marriage of the Count of Flanders any significance whatever of this nature. Quite the contrary, the French government can only see with the liveliest satisfaction an event which establishes a tie between this dynasty and a family connected with the most glorious recollections of the Napoleonic period. The Prince of Hohen zollern, father of the future Connie.' of Flanders, is sae of the sister of Joachim Murat ; and one of the sisters of this Prince married the Marquis de Pepoli, grandson of Murat, and one of the distinguished diplomatists of Italy of the present day. Thus twice the blood of the Hohenzollern' has been allied to the glorious plebeian blood of the brother-in-law of Napoleon 1. The marriage which is going to be celebrated will therefore consecrate fresh ties with the imperial dynasty of France at the same time aa with the illustrious house associated with the development of Germanic grandeur. Placed between Germany end France, Belgium, so often the theatre of sanguinary struggles between the German and Latin races, forms to-day a barrier which covers the frontiers of the one as of the other • and henceforth it may be said that her RoyaPdynasty ;sill form a connecting link between ' the two powerful military monarchies."

(PION 011111 SPICIAL CORILSBIOADZIT.) ROME. APELIL 20. Daring the night of Saturday-Sunday, April 6-7, while I was absent from Rome amongst the mountains, a very remarkable manifesto, contain ing the programme of the most advanced section of Roman liberals, whose leaders have formed them selves into a board of direction, styled " II Centro d'lnsurrezione," was posted up in conspicuous places about Rome. At the risk of drawing the atten tion of your readers to a document with which they may probably have already been made acquainted, I cannot refrain from communicating to you a very brief synopsis of its contents. At the outset, I may observe, that there are not two opinions here as to the vigour and ability with which the manifesto has been drawn up. Even " 11 Comitato Nazionale," out of whose sails the wind is, to a great extent, taken by " II Centro d'lnsurrezione," in its counter-manifesto, issued April 9, while it laments the indiscretion of causing a schism in the ranks of the liberals, is moved to something like admiration of the generous senti montaavfisoedbyitanserevigorousrivaL For myself, accustomed as I am to the somewhat milk and Water addresses and publications of the National Committee, I must confess to having found the manifesto of the Centre of Insurrection very strong and refreshing reading. At this moment, 11 a.m., the noise of the discharge of cannon, com bined with the distracting clang of several thousand church and convent bells, which, having held their tongues with difficulty for the last two days, are now announcing—thirteen hours prematurely one would think—with all their might and main the joyful tidings of the resurrection, renders it no easy matter to proceed with my writing. Setting forth in its opening paragraphs the hard case-of the Romans, in finding themselves placed arbitrarily in a different category to the rest of the Italians—a fact instanced by the rewarding of Garibaldi on the one hand with the Grand Cordon of the Asnunsiata, for freeing the Neapolitan pro vinces, and on the other, with a bullet at Aspro monte for attempting to free Rome—the manifesto goes on to look for the origin of this cruel want of logic, Iwhich it finds, naturally enough, in the presencS of the French at Rome. " Thinking of the Italian nation," runs the manifesto, " the Romansiwere able, for seven years, to endure the burden of the supporters of the temporal power ; thinking of themselves, they could only curse their brave allies of Magenta and Solferino. So strange and uuhl a contradiction as that, like every thing ntrary to logic and so doomed to perish, was bound to come to an end ; and at length this abnormal state of things had its bounds fixed by the convention of September 15, 1864. . . . By the convention, which now forms part of the public international law, the right, which is no longer denied to any people, of having the government of its choice, was recognised by diplomacy as being inherent in the Romans. From that day the Romans were poten tially masters of their own destinies." " Actually they were slow to avail themselves of their opportunity when, the contracting parties having faithfully observed their pledgee, the last French soldier left the soil of Italy. Then was the moment for us to have risen. Then was the mo ment to have given the world a proof that only main force could keep us down under the subjec tion of the priests." Having shown how the Roman question entered into an entirely new phase after the literal execu tion of the convention, the manifesto goes on to accuse the national committee of imbecility in neg lecting to rise to the new occasion, and to make an appeal to all such Romans as wish "to overthrow the government of the Pope, and re-unite Rome to Italy, as its capital," to come and shake hands all round. " For us," runs the manifesto, " the past does not exist, and the requirements of the country are our future. What we propose is to prepare for, and hasten on the moment, when Rome, respecting in the person of the Pope the head of the catholic religion, shall bear down the temporal power to the ground. To rise without the conviction of succeed ing would be a blunder ; not to rise when success must be ours would be a crime." After as suring the Romans that simultaneously with the insurrection of the city of Rome a rising will be organised to take place in the provinces, the mani festo concludes by publishing the following letter from Garibaldi, dated S. Fiorano, March 22, and addressed, " Al Centro d'lnsurrezione in Roma :" Gentlemen,—l am proud to style myself " Generale Romano." I gratefully accept the charge which you com mit to me, and hereby communicate to you the names of those Romans who will compose the centre of the emigra tion at Florence. I am sure that the whole of the Roman emigrants will unite themselves to this centre, which enjoys my whole confidence, as I have full con& dance in you. - C. GARIBALDI. In the subjoined letter Garibaldi invites the Roman emigrants at Florence to organise them selves under his immediate direction : My dear Sirs,—lionoured by the confidence of your follow-citizens, the centralisation of the whole force of the Roman emigration being an indispensable condition of enabling you to help your brethren who are still groaning under the government of the priests, I invite you, gentle. men, to form yourselves into a " Centro del Emigrations Roman.," in order to act under my immediate direction, in accordance with the instructions which you will re ceive. I have full confidence in you. Re good enough to explain theme my wishes to your fellow emigrants. 0: GARIBALDI. These documents, which were published ten days since by the Opiteione of Florence, have, it cannot be denied, a business-like look about them, but nevertheless there seems little or no probability of an immediate outbreak. With Garibaldi for its animating spirit, and union with Italy and con stitutional monarchy for its political watchwords, the Centro d'lnsurrezione is gaining ground every day. That Garibaldi, and the triumvir Montmchi, with the great majority of the republicans of 1849, whom the recurrence of eighteen years of reac tionary government has made converts to mo narchical principles, as at any rate the best com promise, should give their support to the " Centro d'lnsurrezione" seems the best augury of success. Martini alone holds himself aloof from the concern. 818 MAJISTY " CALLIMG " • MINISTER TO A PARIKH thicami.—At • meeting of the Kincardine O'Neil Presbytery the other day, a call was laid on the table from the parish of Cathie to the Rev. Mr. Taylor, Mon trone. Amongst the signatures to the call was that of Dr. Robertson, who had been instructed to subscribe the document on behalf of the Queen. The call was sustained. —Edinburgh Courant. THE BOMBAY MAIL. —Stria, APRIL 26. —The Babette, from Bombay April 14, arrived at 3 p.m. today. A special Court of Common Council was held yesterday, at Guildhall, at which the Loin XATOR pre sided. for the purpose of receiving a report from the joint Police, and Lae r; Parliamentary, aid City Courts Committees reference to the Tra ffi c Regulation *ill for the metropolis, at present before the Rouse of Commons, and also the draft of a petition to parliament against the measure, and praying that the Corporation of Leedom might be allowed, if seemeary, to appear by counsel awl to give evidence against certain clauses contained in the proposed bill_ - Alderman Rose n in moving that the report be agreed to expressed his opinion that many of the clauses in the bill were prepared by persons who evidently were entirely ignorant of the nature and extent of the commerce of the City of London, and believed that if the one prohibiting the delivery of maks between the hours of ten in the morn lug and six o'clock in the evening ever became law, the trade in wine, beer, sugar, and several other articles would be at once entirely put a stop to. (Haar, hear.) The idea also of being compelled to apply to the police for permis sion to do certain things that were absolutely necessary for carrying on the commerce of the City appeared to him to be so monstrous and so contrary to all the principles of freedom that were entertained by 'ftglishmen, that he thought it was the duty of everyone to endeavour to prevent such a principle from being carried out. (Hear, The magistrates were also to be deprived of all control ; and so far as the trade of the City of London wee concerned he would only say that it appeared to him that if this measure ever became law the sooner every trader got out of the City the better. He hoped, however, that they should be able, by the resistance they were about to offer, **peeves* this arrativos aftpt to destroy the commerce of the City of London from being carried into effect. (Hear, hear.) Alderman J. C. LAWRENCE, in seconding the motion, said that, instead of the bill being entitled A Bill to regu late the Traffic of the Metropolis, it would be more pro perly described as one having for its object the nipples. lion of the trade of the City of London. The evidence that had been given by Sir Richard Mayne before the com mittee of the House of Lords, and upon which evidence I the bill seemed to have been principally founded, was of the most extraordinary character; and in answer to one of the questions that were put to him he gravely expressed his opinion that the traffic in front of the Mansion-house and through the Poultry was nut greater than Ili g. an r i other parts of the metropolis. (A laugh.) With to the clause in the bill requiring the delivery of certain heavy articles before tea o'clock in the morning, he should like to know what would be the consequence if this was carried out, when thousands of empty vehicles would be leaving the City after ten o'clock, and would meet the stream of trafffc which poured into it at that hoar from all directions, and whether the most terrible blocks and stoppages would not necessarily be created by such a state of things? (Hear, hear.) Sir Richard Mayne admitted that the object he sought to attain was to reduce the number of vehicles coming into the City, and at the same time also said that if the measure weal parried in its present shape it would give the Commissioner of Police the power to make regula tions to any amount of stringency that he might consider necessary. He then adverted to the proposition of Sir Richard Mayne, that housekeepers should leave their coal cellar, open, in order that coals might be delivered during the night, and be asked what sort of security the public would have against robbery, or against the coal merchant supplying twentydlve hundredweight of coals for a ton. (Laughter.) The effect of these and other similar regulations would be that the trade of London would be carried on by night instead of by day ; and he said he agreed with Alderman Rom in the opinion that the proposed measure bad been framed by those who were entirely ignorant of the character of the trade and com merce of the City of London. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M'Osoitos said that be had taken great interest is the question of the regulation of the traffic of the City of London, and could have wished that the bill brought for ward by the corporation had been carried into effect. The Foment measure was, however, so different from the one be referred to, and was so stringent, and so utterly incon sistent with the notions that were entertained by all preo tical men as to what should be done, that he felt com pelled to oppose it, end to express his belief that if such a measure was permitted to become law, it would tend to entirely destroy the trade of the City of London. He might add that there was not a single large town in Beg land where each extraordinary powers were gives to the police as were proposed to be entrusted to them by this measure. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Dr JERSEY, the chairman of the Commissioners of Sewers, also spoke against the bill, and said that if it was to be passed in its present shape a responsibility of a very different character would be thrown upon the commission, and they would, to a certain extent, be placed under the control of the police, and the most extraordinary anoma lies would arise. lir. C. J. COCKERELL expressed his surprise that the House of Lords, who could not know anything of the sub ject, should have taken upon themselves to initiate a bill for regulating the trail° of the City of London. tHear, hear.) The effect of the measure in its present shape would be to place the trade and commerce of the City of London in the power of the Commissioner of Police, and be could state that so far as the propped regulation for the delivery of teals was concerned, if it was carried out, the public would have to pay at least half•a-crown a ton more for this article. Alderman SALOMONS expressed his opinion that a more extraordinary and ill-conditioned bill than the one in question had never been introduced into parliament. He had a great reepeet for the police, but he considered it a meet monstrous thing that they should be entrusted with such powers as were proposed to be given to them by this measure. Mr. MEDWIN also supported the report. Mr. BEDFORD caused a good deal of laughter by read ing some of the clauses of the proposed measure. and said that by one of them any person who assumed the clothes of an " authorised " shoe-black was to be liable to a pe nalty of forty shillings. Also, if two persona made a bet in the street • constable was justified in apprehending them, and they were liable to • penalty of forty shillings. If, therefore, it should happen that Lord Derby, just be fore the Derby or any other great race, were to meet an other noble lord and offer him three to one spinet • par ticular hone, • policeman would be justified in laying hold of them both and dragging them off to the station house. (Laughter.) He characterised the measure as being one of altogether an absurd and monstrous descrip tion, and said be !toped they should succeed in preventing it from being pained into law. The motion for agree to the report was then put and carried unanimously, and the necessary arrangements were made for at ono. presenting • petition on behalf of the corporation against the second reading of the bill. The court then adjourned. On Thursday a conservative dinner took place at Halesworth to celebrate the return of Mr. F. S. Corrance for East Suffolk. About three hundred gentlemen were present, and the chair was taken by Mr. H. A. S. Bence, of Thorington.liall. In responding to the toast of his health, the Hon. J. M. Henniker. Major, M.P., referred to the government Reform Bill, to which he saw, he said, many objections ; but he thought all who desired a satis factory settlement of the question were bound to give way to some extent. He expressed his approval of the personal ratepaying and residential clauses. Mr. Corrance, M.P., followed, expressing a general approval of the government measure, but he claimed for the counties a larger share in the representation than they at present enjoyed. Lord Augustus Hervey, one of the members for %t est Suffolk, and Mr. E. Greene, the conservative member for Bury St. Edmunds, were also present, and the latter said he be lieved that reform had come not from below but from above. He strongly objected to a hard line, and would rather vote for household suffrage pure and simple than • IL line. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORRB.—The mom bete of this board met yesterday, Sir J. Thwaites presid ing. Mr. Pugh, the member for Camberwell, introduced a deputation from that pariah to present a memorial praying the board to withdraw the Metropolis Improvement Rate Bill, now before parliament. Mr. Potter spoke at some considerable length, urging the adoption of the memorial, and endeavoured to point out that local taxation had reached its limit. and that it was impossible for their dis trict to bear as increase of 44d. in the pound, which the act would impose, also that all moneys raised locally should be so spent. After a few words from Mr. L. Taylor, in favour of the memorial, the Chair man explained some evidence which be had given be fore a select committee of the House of Commons, in which he was reported to have said that " local taxation had reached its limits." This was reported without any of the surrounding explanations, which would have given • very different complexion to such • statement. The whole argument of Mr. Potter seemed to tend to the abo lition of the powers of the board to tax the metropolis, and in favour of locally taxing the people and disbursing the money. If that project were carried out, what would become of all the great improvements of the metropolis Could such works as the Thames Embankment be carried out? Or, if so, would it be fair to charge the whole ex pense to the parishes of the Strand end Westminster? There were many other instances which be could give where great public improvements were made which it would be quite impossible for the parishes in which they were made to bear the expense, and he thought that if the memorial should be complied with it would aim at doing away with all public improvements. After some discussion, which eventually became of a personal nature, the memorial was referred to the Works Committee, and the deputation withdrew. THE FENIAN TRIALS. DUBLIN, FRIDAT NIGHT. The trial of Thomair Burke, leader of the Tip perary Fenians, and of Patrick Doran, who took part in the attack on the Stepaside police barracks, was proceeded with to-day. After the opening statement of the Attorney-General, Patrick Keogh, a tailor, was examined, and gave evidence of the rising at Tallaght, Patrick Condon, alias God frey Massey, the principal informer, detailed all the plans of the conspirators, and identified Burke as having taken part in some of the meetings at which the intended insurrection was discussed. Massey was appointed to a high command in the Fenian army by Col. O'Kelly, who after the deposition of Stephens was appointed commander-in-chief. Massey stated that he had been a colonel in the Confederate army, and had & commission in the English land transport corps. Another informer named Corydon also a Confederate officer, was examined. It was this individual whose information led to the arrest of Massey, and put the authorities on the alert with respect to the intended raid on Chester. At the conclusion of his direct evidence the further hearing of the case was adjourned. The Norwich Working Men's Oonserrative Asso ciation bold a demonstration on Thursday evening In St. Andrew's-hall. The *hair was noospied by Sir S. Bic- MOLD. who was aapparnal by Si, W. Bane, I[.P., the Hon. T. He Oro. ILP., Mr. C. H. Bead, M.P., Mr. K. Howse M.P., Mime! nun, Mr. W. B. Fernand, Major Walpole, &c. THE REPRESENTATION OF 11111 PIIOPIJL—At • special meetiog of the Toin Council of Birmingham yes terday, on the motion of Mr. Alderman Hawke*, a reso lution was passed to the effect that a petition be we welted to parliament praying that in the bill now before it a clause may be inserted enacting that hereafter Bir mingham shall have additional representatives. - - Reronit MEETING AT DERBY.—On Thursday evening apaesting was held in the Corn Bachanip, Derby, under the auspices of the Derby branch of the Reform League, to consider the present position of the government Reform BilL Long before the time for the commencement of the prooengs the immense ban was crowded with working men, and throughout the evening the demonstration was of a moat enthusiastic character. The deputation were Professor Rodgers (Ox ford University), Mr. J. Nuttall and Mr. Wright (Bir mingham). One resolution was as follows :—" That this meeting tenders to the Right Hon. William Ewart Gladstone its sympathy under the recent trying defection of a portion of the liberal party, and hereby records its senae of gratitude for the great services ren dered by Mr. Gladstone during the last two years in the cause of reform, and would also venture to ask that he, as the leader of the reel liberals both in and out of parliament, would still continue to guide the counsels of reformers in the House of Commons. That this resolution be "irked by the chairman, and forwarded by him to Mr. Gladstone on behalf of this meeting." The proceedings were brought to a close with cheers for Mr. Gladstone and groans for Mr. Bass. THE ELECTORS OF BOSTON AND MR. PARRY. At a meeting of the committee of the Boston branch of the London Reform League, held on Tuesday evening, the following resolution on the conduct of Mr. Parry the liberal member for the borough, in voting agai nst Mr. Gladstone in the recent division on the Reform Bill, was unanimously passed :—" That this meeting desires to ex pire- in unqaalified terms its disapproval of the conduct of Mr. Parry, the liberal member f. r the borough, and considers that, by his uniting with the tories and sham liberals to defeat the honest endeavours of Mr. Gladstone to make the present bill more just and acceptable, he has forfeited all claims to our confidence in him as a liberal representetive." EDl:warms IN Irmia.—Yesterday afternoon the ninth annual meeting of the Christian Vernacular Edu cation Society for India was held at Willie's Rooms. Mr. J. C. Colquhoun presided, and there were present the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., the Rev. Canon Auriol, Dr. Davis, &e. The Rev. J. W. Titoomb read the report, which stated that the society bad four training colleges in active operation, which there was every reason to hope would henceforth become centres from which Christian vernacular education would receive a new impulse. The efforts they had made to raise the standard of secular education in the native heathen schools, and to introduce Christian instruction into them, was carried forward with increasing seal and vigour. The government still continued their grants in aid towards them. 72 schools, containing 4,000 boys, were now under the charge of the society's native Christian teachers. The publication work of the society had already been actively carried on, educational works having beet lased in fourteen at the rate of 1,200 copies a day. The society t gu igi e ling . fully one-third to the supply of Christian literature in India. The receipts during the pest year amounted to 6,345/. The Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., moved the adoption of the report. Dr. Duff, who might be truly called " the apostle of India," had borne strong testimony to the value of the society's operations, and that alone ought to entitle it to the liberal support of the public. He believed that no man was more convinced than the present Governor-General of the necessity of promoting education amongst the masses of the population throughout the whole of India. Other addresses were made and reso lutions carried in furtherance of the society's objects.

COLLISION. —The weather underwent a considerable change off the Northumberland coast on Wed nesday night, the wind getting round to the N.M., and hlowing a gale. Between 9 and 10 o'clock a screw hopper, I No. 1, belonging to the River Tyne Commissioners, ran into a stesnatug, the Vigilant, off the harbour mouth, and sank her in a few minutes. All hands Jumped from the tug into the hopper, but the master. William Ramsbaw, and the vessel sank with him. He has left a widow and five children. The rough sea has completely Molten the tug up, and her wreck is scattered along the shore. SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT CLIPToN St'NPENNION BIUI*GE.—On Thursday evening, shortly after 6 o'clock, • lad named William Miles. 13 years of age, who is engaged as • ticket-collector on the Clifton side of the Suspension bridge, which spans the Avon and connects the counties of Gloucester and Somerset, left his post and got on to the parapet at the side of the bridge for the purpose of Gathering prime of the wild flowers which abound in that locality.

On inquiry at the hospital last evening it was ■fated that the boy was still alive, but that he was in a very precarious state. LITERARY ACTIVITY IN AMERICA.—The literary acthity in this country at the prevent time is remarkable. We saw, the other day, in the private office of one of our prominent book publisher., three towering piles of manu script volumes which bad been forwarded to the house in the course of a fortnight When it is considered that we have more than twenty publishing houses of prominence in this city, and that each of them could probably show a harvest of equal magnitude, the Unmet.* amount of book writing that is done may he partially estimated. But only partially, for Boston, Philadelphia. Hartford, and other cities, possess publishing houses that rival those of New York, and all of them doubtless have constantly ac cumulating piles of manuscript seeking for publication. Of course, not one in • score of the books offend are pub lished, or can be published. This is bard on the poor writers, but were it otherwise it would be banter still on the poor readers. We may remark, also, that the activity of magazine writers is no ler remarkable than that of book writers. We are informed by the editor of one of our popular magazines that he receives from 2110 to :MO contributions every month, while the limits of his maga. rine prevent him using more than a dozen out of the whole. We are almost afraid to sawhen we consider what may be the result of our remark y- -that the magazi ne editor referred to complains of the real scarcity of good poem. and stories. Most that are gent him are, in his opinion, atrociously bad—though of course their authors would not agree in this judgment. But we suspect he is right.—lfew York Tires, April 10.
