lished by MIR. Charles Scribner, New York, and
is for sale at the New Tract House, Fayette
street. east of Charles street. 1t is printed in
beautiful style. on fine white paper, with large
clear type. The christian public has looked for
ward with deep interest to the appearance of this
bouraphy-an interest excited by the universally
known character of the subject. and by the pecu-
liar qualifications of the 10 edit the lie Of his
DISTINGUISHED father. DR.. Alexander had long
stood in the front rank of American clergy
position earned by service of sixty years in the
pulpit, and as Professor in the Theological Semi
nary at Princeton, for forty years. The simple
ity and great modesty ofhis character, his peculiar
and most effective eloquence, his dev0ut and holy
life, his high genius and large atainmens, made
him to America what DIR. Chalmers was to Scot
land. We have carefully examined this work,
and do not hesitate u say that more valuable
contribution to christian biography has not been
made, in any part of the world, during this cen
tury. II is chiefly autobiograhical. and possesses
all the peculiar traits of the character of the au-
thor; and the editor has arranged the materials
with ccnsummate tact and good taste, supplying
all DEFICIENCIES, and making an admirable work.
In reading it. we are forcibly reminded OF the
autobiography of Dr. franklin, as il is marked by
the same simplicity Of narration, and deep knowl-
edce of human nature The death bed scene is
one of the mos, beautiful and touching we ever
read. without 0Stentatious display. but calm,
modest, and confident and truly sublime close
of long life exclusively devoted to his great
mission A most interesting portion Of the book.

that Commodore Perry has succeeded in the ogec'

have been obtained for the commerce OF tins coni'-

The same condition is contained in both treaties
namely, that three ports are to be opened III

date Of March 81, stated that Commodore rerry
was hourly expected there on his return from
Jeddo, and il is probable therefore, that the state
