PreseoHs History of Ferdinand and Isabella. -Ths
London Courier, in notice Of this work, which It
predicts must undoubtedly hereafter take its place
on the same shelf with Hume, Robertson, and Glib
bon adds that llleis the popularity it has achieved
with the American public little do heyyet appre-
ciate il as the first star which has appeared that
horizon, the darkness of which has hitherto been
rendered only the visible by the brilliancy Of
such authors as Irving and Cooper" The Courier
nfers from this, that although works occasion
ally produced in the United States creditabe the
talent and scholarship Of the country, they do not
prove general advance in literature, the degree
to which il is appreciated and encouraged there"
The best refutaion of all this is the announcement
Of the third edition of Mr. Prescous History in less
than nine months from the date of its first publica-
ton. The first edition was disposed of in few
weeks, and second, nearly twice as large is now
exhausted. We suspect it will not be easy to meet
with an instance Of an historical work of like cost
and magnitude-from the pen of an author before
unknown-which, without the aid OF subscription,
has met with more rapid sale, either on the other
side Of the water, or on this.-N. Y American.

NApoLEoN's Wrpow-In the account of the coro.
nation Of the Emperor of Austria as King Of Lom-
hardy, we find the following short notice Of Maria
Louisa, the widow of Napoleon.
In the state carriage, next to that Of the Emperor
was the widow Of Napoleon, Maria Louisa.-Her
full form, ample courtenance, and careless or
tented expression would seem TO indicate that the
vicisstudes of life have passed over her without
leaving any deep traces Of saddening recollectons
behind. "...#. un
How cold and hcartess must be the breast Of this
eontented woman She Is now the wife we believe
Of some German noble, and follows joyfully In the
train of the legiimntes wherever they move. Little
did the Emperor Of France, or the excite Of 81.
Helena anticipate that this would be the fate OF the
mother OF his child and the wife Of his bosom.

A True Gentieman.-A true gentleman is Gods

virtue is his business isSudy, his recreation con-
tentedness his rest, and happiness his reward God
is his father, and the Church Is his mother; the
saints his brethren; all that need him his friends,
and Heaven his inheritance; Religion his mistress,
Loyalty and Justice his two maids of honor Devo-
ton is his chaplain, Chastity his chamberlain; So
briefly his butler Temperance his cook, Hospitality

Discretion his porter 10 let in and out as is most fit.
Thus Is the whole family made Of virtues, and he is
the true master ofthe family. He is necessitated TO
take the world in his way TO Heaven, but he walks
through it as fast as he can but all his business by
the way Is 10 make himself and others happy. Take
him all in two words, He is a Man and a Christian.

The Battle of Eiepen Hundred Horses
Two of the (Spanish) regiments which had
been quartered in Funnel, were cavalry, mount
ed on fine black long tailed Andalusian horses.
It was impractcable to bring off these horses,
about eleven hundred in number, and Romano
was not man who could order them to be
destroyed he was fond of horses himself, and
knew that every man was attached to the
beast which had carried him so far and so
faithfully.
Their brides were therefore taken of, and
they were turned loose upon the beach. A
scene ensued such az probably never before
was witnessed. They were sensible that they
were no longer under any restraint of human
power. A general conflict ensued, in which,
retaining the discipline they had learned, they
had charged each other in squadrons of 10 or
IL, then closely engaged, striking with their
fore feet, and biting and tearing each other
with the most ferocious rage, and tramphng
over those which were beaten down, till the
shore in the course of quarter Of an hour,
wns strewn with the dead and disabled. Part
of them had been set free on a rising ground,
at a distance; they no sooner heard the roar
of battle, than they came laundering down
over the intermediate hedges, and catching the
contagious madness, plunged into the fight
with equal fury. Sublime as the scene was,
it was too horrible to be long contemplated,
and Romano, in mercy, gave orders for de-
stroying them; but it was found too DANCE
rous to attemptto do this, and after the last boats
quilted the beach, the few horses that remain
ed were still engaged in the dreadful work Of
mutual MISUNDERSTANDING.

POETRY.
From the Knickeyboekey.
"THERE is ONE GOD"

What speaks the thunder, when It's midnight cry
Rolls through Heavens vast and cloudy palaces
What writes the lightning on the ebon sky,
When the fierce tempesl's, wrapt In sackcloth rise
From their huge cradles on the roaring seas
What shout the gaunt and time defying trees,
That toss right royalty their arms on high,
When from the hills the cold north western gale
Calls 10 the torrent in the misty vale,
And the air rings with heavens artillery!
fnERE IS ONE Gop!"--lo HIM they lin their prayer,
he framed them temples and they worship there
Storm, wind, and bowling thunder! Go vain man
And think their mighty creed false one If you can
