still there has not been us many really

genuine snobs, who have enJeavored 10

sessions and their very laudabIe desire 10

aud dowers, whose heads are frosted

whose years are approaching a close, who

ridiculous, by aping The young man and
attempting 10 be exceedingly graceful and

weakness and supplying folly. We know
Of several instances where men tf over ak

OF bright and sunny twenty, all engaged in

REMARKABLE New NOVEL. Z" Bre-
Der" or Mountaineer OF the Allas."--
By w. 5. Mayo, NJ. D., Putnam, New
York.
We have hardly had time to do more
than turn over the pages Of this highly
wrought tale. We have seen enough,
however, to justify MS in saying that the
" Breber" will be ranked with that ella IS
OF ethnic novels, of which " Anastaslus"
is The acknowledged head. When Mr..
Hope, OF London, brought ou, 4" Anastasi-
us" 1t was seriously conterded by the
North American Review, that he could
not have wril'eni,, because he was too
in imately conveIsant with the languages,
history aud manners of the East, an Eng
llshman, not a naive of the East, j, was
supposed, could no, have attained tina, in
innate knowledge. A Le-an,ine French
man i, was conjectured, furnished the M.
teria's, in manuscript.
DR.. Mayo q d" Breber' of Morocco, pre-
sents equally faithful pictures of the tribes
and nat ons Of Western Africa. Anasta-
sius" is confined to Turkey and Egypt.
The Bre5er or Berber rare has singu-
lar interest to the modern historian. Conde,
in his Conques, Of Spain, by the Arabs,
and more recently, the gIea, work OF Gun
jangos, shows, ,ha, that conques, was cf-
fec,ed by the Berbeis.
DR.. Mayo's last novel, /" Kaloolah," :"
was aPpauded by the English Reviews
Their chief objection to il, was, the two
grea, indulgence Of poetic imagination and
creative genius. The 4" Dreber" fortunate.
ly has redeemed this defect, il is a romance
founded upon incidents Of frequent occur
renee in tns plra,ical descenls of the Moors
on the coast Of Spain. Whoever wishes
to read ihs history Of the Salee Rovers,
the Algerino Corsairs, the Tunisian Pirates
and Of the depredstions Of Barbary Pirates,
until our Commodore Decatur classified and
reduced them to subJec,ior, will find the
whole story in the "Breber." The novel
reader will find incidents Of surprising I in

PRor. WEBsrER.-A Boston cores
ponde t of the Salem Register, writes
under date of 23d, to tha, paper:
This morning conversation passed
in NY hearing between gentleman
and Mr. Andrews the jailor, respecting
Prof. Webster. gathered the follow
ing, though with some difficulty, by
occasion of the perpetual din, caused
by the going to and fro Of the noisy
vehicles which throng the streets.
MIR Andrews states that, the Profess
sor's health is perfectly good, and his
spirits as buoyant, and his conversation
at times as sprightly, as though moth
ing were about to ,ranspire. He says
that for few weeks past, he has OBJ
served his eyes to be little bloodshot,
and tears occasionally tricklc down his
checks, and on several occasions found
him engaged in ferven, prayer, end
porlng over his bible, and other religI-
Gus books, ;pparan'ly unconscious Of
any one.
Mr. Andrews thinks him TO be most
extraordinary man, and hardly knows
wha, to think Of him. He thinks il cru
e. to place guard of five or six men
upon him, as was sugge sted, but that he
s!.ou'd be left to himself, and afford
him opportunity for meditation and
prayer, as the time for such exercises
will soon he brought to an end. Mr..
A has some apprehension that the
Press will ensure him for the course
he has adopted, in not placing strong
guard, but he has done what lie sup,
posed to be duty he owei to fellow
dying man, and says that ifProf. Web

1.-THE present condition and future use
fulness Of the American Navy absolutely re-
quire the immediate action Of Congress in
its bahaf. Promotions in the Navy are
81 slow that men often reach thirty five be-
fore they become Lcutenants, and thy can
har ily look forward TO a Csptancy during
their lives. What is iheie, then, to induce
our bes. officers, among those who are in
the meridian Of life, 10 remain in The service,
when their best years must be wasted as
Passed Mdshpmcn or junior ! ieuieaanis J
Why nothing, for there is nothing to arouse
their ambition, and nothing TO make them
feel that interest in their profession which
alone can make good and efficient officers
In order to accomplish the necessary re-
torn, and to make our Navy wh it ou2h'
to be, Congress must establish new grade
in The service, such as Admirals or Lieu
ienan, Generals, and they must also ere
ate " retired list" Let them create the
higher grade, and promote the senior off.
GERS TO this, with a suitable increase Of pay,
and that will ,dvance all the junior officers,
who have too long bee. neg ected, and pro-
vide, for the future, against any such stag
nation as now exists in the advancement of
Naval officers. After officers have reach
ed a certain age, let them be made Admi-
rails or Lieutenant Generals, on whatever
you may choose to designate the grade,
and their names then be placed on " re-
tired list :" thus, although they are still IN
the service and still in the receipt Of their
pay, they will have honoraby retired from
active service, having served and honored
their county during their day al d genera
,ion, land in the evening Of their existence
their county will honorably sustain them.
We think that su,h RETURN will meet
the hearty appreciation of nearly all the Of
icers of the Navy, aud it is certainly one
which the efficiency of this branch Of our
national defence iInperatively requires. II
This is not done, the Navy will very soon be
in most lamen,abe plight. We know
gentlemen who have been in the service
twenty years, and who have nearly or quite
reached The meridian of life, and yet they
are only Licu,rnans, and, under the pres
ent system, they can hardly expect TO adj
vance any farther. We all know that as
men progress in life, although naturally
brave and courageous, they become more
cautious and ,mid, and are less AMI less
qualified for the full and prompt discharge
OF onerous dutes. A man of sixty is %, as
adventurous on:,he seas as man of thirty
five or forty; and hence, as a general thing,
the older cannot be as efficient an Officer,
in all respects, as the younger. These and
other considerations VII materially suggest
themselves TO The mind Of every one, why
a reform should he had in our Naval service.

MURDER OF MRs. KEApP.-Ii appears
that the Mrs. Kospp, alias Louisa e. Van
Winkle, Of whose ,ragical death at Tro y.
we gave an account in yesterdays Tribune,
was the woman who lately KEEP O. The

Broadway. She formerly kept a similar
establishment, on larger scale, in Readc

on The lsi of May the house was torn
down. and she went to Murray street. This
latter place she disp sed Of and Quilted FIVE
or six weeks ago, since which time we be-

Van Wlnke was marie 10 a Mr.. Knapp,
about three years ago. Shc was then
abou, III, age of 81, and moi a few envied
the favored suitor. Several children were
born to them, and we believe she was in
mourning for The death Of one Of them at
the tim. Of her violent death. a short
time since, she with her husband took
place in Murray street, which place we re-
gret to say, was a ta' ern. How she could
have condescended TO such means Of en-
ployment for livelihood, we cannot imag-
inc. 1t was, we learn, while thus employ

himself into her affections, with whom she
left tn, city less than two weeks ago. She
had remarkably high spirit, and it may
