Book Notices

From Taylor Maury we have " Berenice-
A Novel," by Mrs. E P. Lesdernier, who
lately gave some attractive poetical readings
in this city. The work is of unequal power,
but evinces, we think, much vigor and origin
atty. Mrs. Lesdernier is young yet, and as
her style natures we predict that her name
will be found high upon the roll of American
noveliss.
From Taylor Maury we have 4" Colombia
from the French Of Prosper Merimee, and
which is q picture of Corsican life and man
ners, translated in the lively and piquant
style of the original The letter-press is a
curiosity in its way, being a revival of the
beautifully open, clear, old-time letter "Co.

well-known publishing house of Phillips,
Sampson Il Co.
married, not Mated, )" by Alice Cary, from
Taylor Maury, is q work of more sustained
power than we recollect to have seen from this

Sisters Cary, it abounds in beautiful descrip-
tive bits of country life. Derby & jackson

MORE ABOUT THE WASHINGTON CANrArR1cE.
MISS MAY.-Some days ago we made an ex.
tract from the Paris correspondence of the N
Y. Times, in which this lady was spoken Of
in high terms, and now we take something in
the same strain, from the correspondence OF
the New York Courier q Enquirer. The
writer says:
" Some nights ago, at the American Minis.
ter's, L had the pleasure of hearing a-Miss
May, young American lady, who bids fair
to hold high place in her profession-uniting
as she does, the qualities most essential to sue
cess in opera, commanding figure, fine intel
lectual expression, q voice of wonderful power
and sweetness, and singing as a worthy pupil
of the eminent Ronconi of Florence. On this
occasion Miss May ELECTED the warmest ap.
plause for her charming rendering of 90 luce
di guest anima," from Donizetti's LINDA de
ChamiounG. And again at soiree given at
her own apartments, to which invitation both
rank and talent responded, she enchanted her
auditors with the cavatina from Rigoietto,
with that from IL Irovators. and the Boisro
from the VeSpres Stctitennes

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Wilson called
the attention of the body to the assault made
yesterday on Senator Sumner by Mr.. Brooks,
member Of the House, and said that he left
it to some older Senator to suggest the course
that the Senate should properly pursue.
After pause Of a few moments
Mr.. Seward moved the appointment of O.
select committee to inquire into and report
upon the affair, &c.
On motion of Mr.. Mason, it was amended so
az to have the said committee chosen by bal
lot: whereupon Messrs. Cass, Allen, Dodge,
Pearce, and Geyer were elected.
The Senate then proceeded to the consider
alton of private bills.
In the House, Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, moved
a preapble and resolution, setting forth YER
sion Of the assault by Mr.. Brooks, of the
House, on Mr.. Sumner, Senator, and direct
ing the appointment of selet committee of
five to inquire into the circumstances of that
affair, with power to send for persons and pa
pers, &c.
Nr Clingman maintained that the subject
was not privileged one.
The Speaker overruled the point of order.
MI. Clingmsn, appealing, denounced the
version OF the affair embraced in the pream-
pie as iaise and grossly unjust, though he ac-

The Union, saying that it desires not to be
understood rs intimsting either what our
Government ought to do or will do in the
premises" discusses Lord Clarendon last re-
ply in the enlistment affair. The editor argues
that while it embraces what he conceives to
be q satisfactory apology so far as the British
Government is concerned, it fails to cover the
case of Mr.. Champion personally, holding
that no such disclaimer on the part of the
British Government relieves this Government
from the necessity Of taking further steps with
reference to him. The editor then argues that
between Mr.. Champion and the witnesses for
the Government on the Hertz trial, the latter
are entitled most to be credited by the Amer
lean authorities. We also find in the Union
an elaborate article to show that neither Abo
lition religion, Abolition morality, nor Adolf
tiOn politics are trustworthy, or, indeed, worth
