We have received, through MI. J. B. Steel, No. so
Camp street, copies of the following new books.
ORIENTAL AND WESTERN SIBERIA. By Thomas Wit
lam Atkinson. New York Harper & Brothers.
This is narrative of a years exploration in
a comparatively unknown part of the world and
makes up fine large octave elegantly printed and
embellished with numerous engravings. Siberia, so
long known the country of Russian exile has
been very little known in any other respect but now
that its geographical scenery and the manners and
customs Of its inhabitants have been laid before the
world by gentleman as artistic with his pencil as
polished and graphic with his pen it must stand in
the front rank of understood nations. Mr.. Atkinson
an Englishman visited the country solely as an ar
tst, actuated by the enthusiasm which ever prompts
the followers of that profession to penetrate the wild
and the unknown. Whilst he claims that he has ad-
hered strictly to nature in his drawings of scenery
and to truth in his delineatfoAs of people aud de-
scrptions of adventure, he has SILL furnished book
of uncommon attraetiveness one which goes far to
dispel the dreary and nhospitable ideas which the
bare of Siberia is wont to call up. The explo-
rations, however, were not confined to Siberia a
good part of the time was spent in Mongolia, the
Kirghis Steppes, Chinese Tartary, and part of Cen
tral Asia and it may well be imagined, that the
WauueriuSs Vi SFhiNeu fuIopeah anld the Wild
mountain scenery, the wild animals and the wild peo
pie of those wild regions, could easily afford an
abundance of material for a cultivated pen and pen
Gil. The book is destined to large reading 1t i.
bound in uniform with Livingstoncs and Barths AT
rican Travels, and will make an excellent hbrar,
companion for them.

TAKING THIEF's LIKENEss.-A noted pickpocket
was arrested in New York. a few days ago, for ope-
rating on the pockets Of two ladies in Broadway
The officers not finding any stolen property on his
person, decided to discharge him after taking his
likeness. The pickpocket, however, refused to per
nit them to take bis picture and be accordingly
locked up for several hours. The officers, finding
that he as determined to hold out and not permit
them TO accomplish their wish, took him out on
Broadway and placed card on his back with the
words "a pickpocket," in large letters, inscribed
thereon After parading up and down the street for
some time, followed by about two hundred boys and
men, he finally yielded to the officers and was taken
to the gallery, where fine picture of him was taken.
He was then discharged from custody.

The following account OF the collision of Holyhead
England, on the llfh ult by which the ship Lesnder
was lost with several of her crew. is furnished BY
passenger;
The Leander was hpe ship Of 800 tuns. and sailed
from Liverpool fdr New Orleans with fine southeast
breeze a. O'clock M on is Tuesday morning having on
1.-TWO mates steward, cook and fourteen scaren- She
was in light order having about 800 tuns of salt and
$50 tuns ballast on board. We Base Point Lynas at
3 o'clock Skerries at 5, Holyhead at 6 having run
all this time eight and nine knots an hour, with
fresh breeze and al plain sail set
All went on well until or A. M., on Thursday,
when was awoke by a terrible crash OF umheT, and
the first impression that the ship had been struck
by lightning I arose and tied on my left belt, and
tried TO open the stateroom door, bot it jamred
fast heard the mates voice cry run to the pas
sengers' roomn and Immediately he and the captain
son burst open the door, and the mate broke the
window and got out following him that way. Going
forward to the cabin, which is deck, with slightly
| raised walk round three sides OF it, found the
| captains wife, son and second mate. then knew
we were into and cut thirds through the deck
Just abaft the main rigging, starboard the lee side
The captains wife exclaimed the ship is sinking
| oh, save me, somebody
1t was true and while she spoke the ship settled
fast in the water went aft again to the pinnacle.
| A man rushed past me, put the wheel down, and
inmped overheard. took one look forward and saw
the waves rise every side. and then pour In like
cataract Then was carried far down with the ship
and came up to struggle with the waves, with the
others in like circumstances The time OF these
occurrences must be counted by seconds not more
than five minutes elapsed from the first shock until
the ship went down. The steamer that run rs down
was a short way or and in about twenty minutes
was picked up. She turned out to be the North
American, from Portland to Liverpool.
When all saved were mustered we numbered twelve
viz the captain and his son, mate, steward, cook
six men and myself; the captains wife, second mats
and eight men being lost The case Of the second
mate is peculiarly distressing. He was the only soi
OF his mother and she is a widow. We had ever
kindness shown us on board the steamer, and tn
passengers raised money enough to give the mate f5
and the eight crew 81 each. How the acciden
occurred know not, nor who was to blame-thi
will, no doubt, be investigated.

ROMANTIC GIPsEY SroRY.--A story is ahoat
that some gossip has been oceasioned in Camberand
county Pa, by the following circumstances
Mr.. George Fry, Of Shippenburg, married gipsey
girl, belonging to a gang who were haunting the
neighborhood, about three years ago. The gipsey
girls father was so enrged at this that he kidnapped
her. and sent her to parts unknown. Mr.. Fry mourn
ed her loss two years, and then married again. But
says the Shippenburg News, Mr.. Frys first wiie-hs
gipsey wife--in company with George Fry, the
second" arrived in this place in search Of him. By
the assistance OF officer Shode she was successful m
finding him.
Limited space orbids US from entering into details,
at tns time of the excruciating suffering Mrs. Fry
has undergone since her departure from this place.
The intelligence Of her husbands second marriage
was a severe shock to her, but she emphatcaly de-
cares her exclusive right to him. 1t appears, by the
way, that Mr.. Fry's second wife was a widow, that
her husband went to California some years ago, and,
soon after his arrival there, it rnmored that he
was murdered. few weeks since a letter was
ceived from him by her, we have been informed in
which he states that he will return in the next
steamer, etc. What the finale of this romance will
be, is beyond the power of human ken.
