Summerhcl III was an extraordinary man. Though

preaching. he shone forth, from the first, burn

throughout, Of unwonted brilliancy. These

rHs TWO ADMIrALs. Tale by J. FESsNoRE COOPER.
We have not yet read this novel by the
thor of the Spy-but we see highly favorable
tees Of it in other journals: and any thing from
Mr.. Cooper's pen, which clcits praise from the
Press he has abused, We are inclined to think
must have merit. In this work he is in tho cle-
ment where he has always been most successful,
and from various points of prima facie evidence
We are inclined to think this among his really cx-
cellent novels. The Preface, we notice, vents
some of the ill-humor which the Author of Home
az Found" cannot observation-disclosures 1t Is not shown
in very offensive form. Under the mask OF
merely " condemning the patriotism that Is sensi-
tive about the honor Of cats and dogs, MT
Cooper evidently SAYS spiielul things OF that ieel-
ing among the people which Kisses the man VINO
wantonly caricatures our social institutions ana
ridcucs domestic virtues; he takes some con-
siderable pains say that the stars and
stripes are very taseess emblems to the Instructed
eye, especially in contrast with the broad white
field and Georges cross Of the noble English en- |
sign; and saws some very hard and we are ncll- |
ned to think not UNJUST things oour navy. Hehints
too that tie winds and waves of public opinion IN |
this country are very boisterous and sometimes
very capricious.-Very likely he is quite right.
TIE MILLENNIUM OF THE APOCALYPSE. BY GEORGE Bush |
Professor Of Hebrew and Oriental Literature in The |
New'fork University, Second Edition. Dayton anu
corner of Fulton Nassau-stS.
The author of this work is well known as among |,
the ablest and most profound Biblical scholars OF
the day and especially to the Prophecies con-
mined in the Bible he has devoted years OF close
and unremtted study. This has led him TO
more thorough investigation Of some Of the most
important subjects embraced in the Revelation
and to the consequent adoption of many iuterpre-
tations which NAV seem novel and unwarranted.
The leading feature Of his theory is that the pc
nod generally looked forward to as the Millennium
has already past, and this is supported with great
learning earnest zeal and strong argument The
work is written in chaste and elegant style ana
merits mos, serious attention from all who feel an
interest in the momentous subject it discusses.
