A REMARKABLE BOOK ,
JUST PUBLISHED,
THE PLURALITY OF WORLDS
WITH AN INTRODUCTION.

BY REV. EDWARD HITCHCOCK, D. D.
President of Amherst College. 12mo 800. :
o. scientific and theoretical work Of
great ability, and one that cannot fail to ar
rest the attention of the world of science.
Its anthor takes the bold ground Of contest
ing the generally adopted belief Of other pco-
Piled worlds besides our own earth. a gen
tlcnlan upon whose judgment we place much
reliance, writes in regard to it The Pu-
nlity of worlds" plays the mischief with
the grand spcculations of christian and other
astronomers. 1t is the most rcmorsclcss ex-
ecutioncr of beautiful theories | have ever
tumblcd upon, and leaves the grand universe
OF existence barren as n vast Sahara. The
author is a stern logician, and some of the
processes Of augmentation are sneularly
fine. Many Of the thoughts are original and
very striking, and the whole conception OF
the volume is as novel AS the results are UNI
welcome. | should think the work must at
tract attention from scientific men, from the
very bold and well sustained attempt TO set
aside entirely the scientific assumptions OF
the age.

worth quite as much TO the manufacturer this
year as last But the condition of the fnan-
cial affairs consequent upon the war, and the
high price for breadstufs, will tend TO de-
press the early market below the peint to

harvest in England and at home, the chances
are that the price Of wool will materially ad-

that at no time this year will the price OF

Thn News.

BY the arrival of the steamer Africa at n.
York we have three days later news from
Europe. The latest intelligence received by
telegraph from the Baltic is that the troops
from Bomarsund are to be re-embarled for
service elsewhere. In the Black Sea the feet
is still inactiye-the expedition for the Cri-
mea not having sailed-but by the latest adj
vices preparations are still making for that
event. On the Goth of August the Army of
Occupation entered Wallaclfia. The whole of
Wallachia, and probably Moldavia, will be oc-
cupied. The Russians were still concentra-
ting on the river Pruth, and the Turks at
Bucharest. No immediate battle is expected.
The Turks met terrible defeat at KarS, and
lost 2OOO prisoners.

raging so wildly around him. Finally, when
all hopes of restoring order were at an. end,
one of the Secretaries rose, and shouted at
the top of his voice for the delegates in fl-
vof of the resolutions to get to one side of
the house. a number OF delegates without
knowing the reason why, did as they were di-

ment was intended for, they resumed their
former position. Opponents Of the resolu-

yells and cheers, and the widest excitement
