The nineteenth anniversary OF the New York
CITY Tract Society was celebrated yesterday even
ing at the Tabernacle, Broadway The female
branch of the same Society united with il at the
same time to celebrate Iher twenty-third anniver-
sary. (Thus, as il sometimes happens in the bonds
of matrimony, the Lady Society is older than the
NAL in this union)
AT seven o'clock the chair was taken by w. B.
CROSBY, Esq.
After solemn prayer by Dr. ALEXANDER, the
annual report of the Female Branch read,
which was followed by two other reports, contain
ing highly tlattering pictures of the and la
bors OF the two societies during the past year. Sc
yera other reports were read containing interest,
ing accounts of the progress and abors OF the So
ciety, with various anecdotes occasionally inter-
spersed descriptive OF the wonderful results produced
by the distribution OF tracts and the serious feelings and
solemn and deep Impressions excited by their perusal

/ LITERARY INrKLLIoKNcK.-Our tables are covcret
with new works, magazines, poems, novels, and
nonsense of all kinds. To review the huge patches
OF poetry and pueriity with which are inundated
by the booksellers in any exact or literary method
is utterly out Of the question. Neither do we care
to notice at all the new works OF the day, as they
referred to by our lazy and idle contemporaries
who generally reprint the title page OF the book, and
pronounce long eulogy on every issue OF trash
from the literary press
Setting aside the mere reprints of old standard
works, of new editions of the Bible and of prayer
books with beautiful illustrations, the whole litera-
ture of the present day may be divided into three
kinds or descriptions. The first may be called the
,waddling school, or the school of twaddlers This
school of literature embraces all those silly love
tales and re-vamped articles which are found in ma
gaines, and which are supposed to be published by
a certain class OF iterateWs of both sexes, at so
much page, and are read with some degree of in
terest at young LADIES' boarding schools, and by
milliner's maids on Sabbath days, and are nothing
but nonsense. The second class of literature may
be called the mysterious the mystical This class
embraces all those which, like Sues, or Bulwers,
or the German novels, are mixed up with cant and
mysticism, with dash of RIGHTEOUSNESS in Is
and infidelity in religion, all one particularly
as to start and amaze the young minds Of the pre-
sent age The third school of literature may be
denomnated the semi-classcal or halfcommon
sense, mixed up with boundless Imagination, look
ing to the future. Some OF these literary contribu-
tons you will find in some of the magazines, and
some are published in books, on their own hook.
Among this class we are disposed to enumerate
Maturin, young literary man, the of the elder
Maturln, the author of "Melnotte" and "Bertram."
Young Maturin has lived here several years, and
recently has contributed to the Democratic Re-
view" number OF pretty ballads, nomlnaly from
de g~eyre He has followed up this publication with
new novel, called "Montezuma, the Last of the
AZtecs," historical romance, well worth reading,
and a considerable work OF art. For another au-
thor of the same class, we might point to Edwards
Lester, the author of some works on the Literature
of Italy, and matters in that REGION and perhaps it
would not be amiss to include in the same class,
Louis Fitzgerald Tasstro, Park Benjamin, and
few others of the lame ducks of this literary age.
This class belongs to the common sense portion of
literature, and if they understand their position and
prospects, and avail themselves of the materials
thrown before them, may yet create sensation in
the literary world.
We shall enter into more extended examina-
ton of the subject hereafter, and crticse ALL I'M
sparingly. Hitherto there has been manufactured
variety of great men-artiss, politicians, actors,
minister's and what not. We have more great men
in literature to manufacture.

By the New York, which arrived

the annexation question, is steady and
uninterrupted. All doubt as to the
decision of the Texas Congress upon
the propositions submitted by the A.

posed to annexation, was through the
action of President Jones, who, it was
at one time conjectured, would refuse
to negotiate on the basis proposed BY
the resolutions Of our House Of Repre-.
sentatlves under the expectation that
IN that event, the President of the U.
