most shameful outrage was committed on
two unofending colored persons yesterday, by
party of lawless fellows said to be from our

from Alexandria, and when near the A1ue-
duct, she was forcibIy drawn to land, and the
parties in question went on board, when find

time the outrage was committed, has gone to
Alexandria this morning, for the purpose of
securing the services Of some of the Virginia.

ANNEXATION OF NICARAGUA.-A writer in
the Mobile Daily Register argues at much
length in favor of the annexation of Nicaragua
TO the United States. This movement seems
to be a favorite one at the southwest, and in
New Orleans especially the greatest interest is
manifested in the fate Of Walker and his men
The fllibuster chief was formerly a resident of
New Orleans and is native of Nashville,
tennessee. One southern writer anticipa tes
that, when the Mexican and Central American
States are annexed to the United States New
Orleans will become the great commercial en-.
porlum of the western world, and overshadow
entirely New York, Philadelphia, and other
Northern marts.

The lNGoLDsBY LEGENDS; or, Mirth and
Marvel. By Thomas Ingoldsby, Esq (the
Rev. Richard Harris Barham With a
Memoir of the author. Reprinted from the
Tenth English Edition. With Illustrations
by Cruikshank and Leach. Philadelphia ::
Willis I: Hazard. (For sale in this city by
Franok Taylor.)
We we'll remember the feeling of delighted
astonishment, the amusing flow, and facility
OF versifcation, of these legends, occasioned
us upon our first coming upon them in Bent.
lcy's Magazine. With the single exception of
Byron's Don Juan, We think they have no
parallel in the English language. The writer
of the Memoir says, with truth, "popuIar
phrases, sentences the most prosaic, even the
cramped technicalities of legal diction, and
snatches from we'll nigh every language, are
wrought in with an apparent absence of all
art that surprises, pleases, and convulses the
reader at every turn" The humcr is all
pervading, lowering at times on the verge of
the irreverent. As with Sterne, the title of
"Rev Ia connection with the author name
strikes one rather oddly. The reader NAV
enter upon the legends, however, without fear
of encountering the grossness of Tristan
Shandy. The illustrations are bad copies of
the originals.
LIFE OF NAPOLEON Ill. EMPEROR OF THE
FRENCH. By Edward Roth. Boston: Pub
lished by Patrick Donahoe.
The interest which this narrative excited
on its appearance in the columns of a Boston
weekly newspaper, causes its present appear
ance IN book form. Without laying any par
ticular claim to originality, the author has
made good use Of materials drawn from the
best French authors, and has, altogether,
made very readable book The description
of the escape from Ham, for instance, has all
the fascination Of romance Like Abbott,
he is firm believer in the Napoleon dynasty;
and the history of the present emperor takes
natural rose-colored tinge. The extensive
extracts given from the works of Louis Napo-
leon, with his correspondence, proclaim ations,
DEGREES, messages, &c, are valuable additions
to the work.
From Franck Taylor VIC have "Mother
Goose's Melodies" beautifully illustrated
All attempts to supplant Mother Goose by more
instructive" lyrics have signaIly failed, as
the constantly required new editions of the
old favorite sufficiently shsw.
Also, from Franck Taylor, we have "The
Children's Picture Gallery" got up in style
to gladden. the eyes of the little folks.
