ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE.

Halyaz, Dec. l8-The steamer Canada
from Liverpool, with dates to the 5th instant
has arrived here.
The steamer Adriatic arrived out on the
evening of the Sd.
Acknowledgement was opened on the
Sd, with the delivery of the Queens speech in
person. The speech is very vague. She de-
plores the commercial distress, and reioices in
the successes of the Indian army; commendS
the earnest attention of Parliament to the
affairs of India; also, says that no fears are
entertained for the peace of Earope, and prom.
ises Parliamentary reform
The Chancellor of the Exchequer had intro
duced into the House of Commons a bill for
the indemnity of the Bank of England, and the

The new American steamer Adriatic arrived
off Point Lynas on the evening of the Sd, but
owing to the lowness of the water did not
reach Liverpool till the afternoon of the 4h.
The launching of the Leviathan steamer is
slowly progressing.
The Queens speech is tame, and generally
of only local interest

The American Journal OF Education Hartford, Conn
F. c. Browne1.
The December number of this excellent quar-
te.y has been received. 1t contains large
fund of the most valuable information respect
ing schools, teachers, and the general subject
Of education. There are sixteen articles in all,
and two or three illustrations. Such a work, in
any enlightened country, is truly invaluable.
Teachers should have it, parents will do well to
read it carefully, and the statesman and legis-
la.or can gain much useful information from its
pages.
Three Days in Memphis. BY Max Uhlemann. Trsnsla-
ted by E Goodrich Smith For sale by the booksellers
generally.
Proo.-sheets Of the aforementioned work lie
upon cur table, and demand attention. The
title is curious one, and, taken by tself, would
be 81 enigma to nany. the subject is Mem.
phs, the ancient, the old capital of Middle
Egypt. The author is q distinguished German
Psychologist, one of school of investigators
WHO do not endeavor by their discoveries to de-
stroy the Sacred Scriptures. The translator is
well known resident of Washington, and has
made an excellent and faithful translation.
Of the work itself, we can but say that the
authors design seems to have been to convey
to the popular mind knowledge of the man
ners, castoms, religious belief, and history, of
Egypt, as it appeared centuries before the Chris
tan era. To do this, he visits Memphis by Wis.,
ion, or in Imagination, while it is yet in its
glory, and describes what be sees, the people,
and the Institutions. Several tales are inter
spersed, TO catch the readers attention and
sympathy. Ia one of these, the conflict between
the priesthood and the kingly sovereignty is
most powerfully delineated.
The style of the book is clear and graphic,
and often intensely interesting. That it will
be sought after by the learned, and those who
wish to learn something of the character of the
people of Egypt, We do not doubt.

This individual is still confined In jail at New

His wife continues to visit him every Saturday,
and remains by his side until the succeeding
Monday morning, when she returns home to

correspondent of the Boston Journal writes
"The evidence against him comes from wit
nesses scattered all over the country-some Of
them residing even as far south as New Or

this, it will be needed only to obtain such evi.
dence as may be had in Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, and Albany. In these cities, the
Government cay that proof enough and to spare
can be had to establish his entire guilt, beyond
shadow of doubt.
"The mail agent has worked night and day
in collecting these proofs, and now says he is
ready for the trial. He has received varied
information as to the contents of the distracted
Philadelphia mails, and is satisfied that the
amount of renittances contained in all of them,
and destroyed by Tuckerman, will amount to

DO benefit to the robber, as the remittances were

fortunate is it that the depredator has been
checked in his evil ways.
Tuckerman is a young man of many good

my last visit he has fallen away in flesh, looks
