School Books.

We have received from Messrs. ID. Appleton
& Co. Of New York several works belonging to
their excellent series of school books.
GRAHAN's ENGLISH SYSoSYMEs is a work in
which the most important synonylnes Of the
English language are classified and explained.--
This book will be of great advantages not only TO
the pupils Of our schools, but to all who wish to
have thorough understanding Of the English
language. Crabbs's work is heavy, and in many
cases the author labors to find distinction
where there is no difference. Mr.. Graham e.
plains what he understands SO thoroughly that
no one can fail to see the point clearly. The
exercises are arranged as to give a very pleas
ant exercise to the intellect of the pupil, and 10
make him familiar with the application Of the
different words
MaxpEvILLr's CouRsE OF READING and the it,
tie book which forms an introduction to the
large one, will be found Of great value in the task
thing TO meet with good reader--much more
so than TO meet with a good musician, or even
a good writer-and yet who does not know what
exquisite pleasure good reader may impars to
the social circle , Every attempt to make an
improvement in the present state Of thing
should meet with encouragement.
The Appletons have added another to their
valuable series OF elementary French works
this is Rowan's Modern French Reader. This
in connection with Ollendorff s French Gram
mar, De Fivas' Elementary French Reader, and
CoIlots Dramatic Reader, will be sufficient to
give the pupil a complete knowledge Of all t,e
important principles of the language: The
book before US consists entirely Of selections
from modern French writers, as Bslzac, Dumss
6 uizoi, Hugo, Lamartine, Merle D'Aubigne,
Michelet, Soulie, Sue, SismOndi, Tbierry
Theirs, DE Tocqueyille, &C., and is intended To
make the pupil acquainted with the Frelch Of
our own day. Changes are constantly taking
place in language, and the power Of fashion il
felt as much among words as among things
Such book as this was greatly needed.

70 The loss in consequence of the attack upon

Every man who Is for free discussion-and
who is notG must rejoice to observe-not only,
that slavery Is becoming general topic OF de-
bate aud eonversstion--but that it is discussed
with more calmness and thoroughness on all
sides.
One instance We give in to-dsy's paper, in
Mr.. CLAWS able and eloquent Colonization
speech. Not harsh word is to be found in it!
Not single thought unkindiy expressed! he
speaks freely; speaks earnestly to the abolition
lists Of the North, to the ultras Of the South
10 all men.
Another may be found in Mr.. PALFRrr's
strong speech in the House at Washington.
He biinks no question and lodges no issue
He examines thoroughly the positions set forth
IN defence OF slavery by Mr.. CLISeNAS Of
North Carolina. But he does IL calmly, in ad-
mirsble temper and with u truly christian
spirit
Yet smother instance, may be observed In
Mr. CuNeNASs speech in defence Of the Soutt
and of slavery. He Acknowledges what il
wrong in the conduct Of the perpetualists; h.
Condemns what he thinks improper in the &C
ton of the abolitionists. But his tone is manly
and marked by liberal courtesy. He does no
deal in denunciation, abuse; he reasons, appeals
to the common sense and better feelings Of men
This is as il should be. If we can land w

Those well advised on this subject, say the
"outwsrd run" has measurabIy ceased. The
whole amount of coin shipped TO Europe since
the LIST Sept. last, amounts to near eleven mil
lions. The Journal of Commerce of the 26th,
says: TT
The London Packet this week took $lo0, 900,
and small amount will probably 90 by the
next steamer. But this coin was purchased be-
fore the decline in bills, and is sent forward
because it cannot be disposed Of here without
loss.
Within the last four days three or four hum
dred thousand dollars in coin have been receiy-
ed here, and large sums in American geld have
been deposited in the Banks for want Of better
market. The amount of duties paid in just
now is quite large, but hardly ten psr cent. 10
