NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Messrs Lea & Blanchard, of Philadelphia, have
sent US, through the hands of Mr.. Franck Taylor,
bookseller, Pennsylvania avenue, the third and
fourth volumes Of ''the Narrative Of the United
States Exploring Expedition, during the years 1888
1889, 1910, ls4l, and 1s42. BY Charles Wilkes,
| U. S. NJ, commander of the expedition, &C."
These volumes of this most interesting work are
devoted to able Of the Sand
witch islands, the South Sea islands, and indeed Of
|the islands of the Pacific ocean generally, and to
history of the visit of the squadron to the of
Oregon. The limits which we are constrained to
assign to notice Of them will prevent from en-
|tering into anything like extended review of their
contents. We shall merely bear witness that, in
stead of losing interest, might be expected,
when it is remembered that this narrative is so very
|volumnous and minute, they are increasing in al
most all the requisites to fix the attention Of general
READERS. Besides their usual amount of matter
likely to prove of absorbing interest the philose-
|pher, their pages replee with details concerning
the American and foreign missionary efforts in these
islands, which have for SO many years been the
of most active and efficient missionary opera
tons. The whole question of the difficulty between
the Roman Catholic and dissenting establishments
in the Pacific is ably reviewed, and detailed histo-
ry of these troubles is given which necessarily en-
braces general and most minute summary of the
progress of missionary labors in the islands
IA full history of the political relations of the
church establishments, with the governments and
their subjects, and accurate description of them
as they actually exist. Here, there is, in a compare
lively short synopsis thatmatter for which the reader
3would attempt in vain to search the missionary
ports and journals. There is no subject not imme-
diaely connected with home affairs, of such Interest
to large portion Of the American public and we
direct their attention. with great pleasure, to these
volumes for information, for most important ant
agreeable information. Their notes on Oregon, too
are no less likely to attract readers now, when
next to Texas, that region occupies so prominent
position before the great body of the people of tn,
American Union.
