COMPARATIVE EXTENT OF TERRrroRY.-
When we read of the wealth of England
1t is not easy to conceive that her territory
i. e., the territory of England proper
is less than several of our States; and that
the area Of the United Kingdom. including
England, Scotland and LELAND, is less than
half the area of Texas, and less than that
of California. The following figures will
show these things 10 be true.

Annexed we give the score of match game
of cricket played in this place last week between
the " LIST eleven " of Frenchtown and the" End
eleven of Lambertvle. The game was sharp
ly contested on both sides, and the Frenchtown
players deserve great praise for their aptness in
learning the noble game, having been practising
but short time. With few happy remarks
Mr.. Bullock, in behalf Of the Frenchtown players
presented the victors with the usual trophy "a
balD which was received by Mr.. L. j. Titus,
with appropriate remarks in behalf of the Lam
bertville players. Mr.. W. Gown acted as UNI

Literary Notices.

Decidedly the best, and destined ODE the most
popular of works issuing from the recent strug
gle in Italy, is the work recently issued by Evans
Of Philadelphia entitled " Italy and the war of
1859. 1t is from the pen of an italian lady,
who has under her inspection, all the necessary
data for an interesting work. The style Of the
work is peculiarly attractive and the descriptions
minute and instructive The work extends over
period from the earliest days of Italian con-
federacy down to the signing Of the armistice
between the beligerant parties at Villa Franco,
subsequent to the battle of Solferino
From the same Publisher, we have received
an interesting and instructive book, entitled
Lectures for the People" by Rev. Fl. Stowell
Brown The author is an eminent English di-
vine who, like Sturgeon, captivates the masses
by his earnest and pointed discourses The
thoughts contained in this volume are good; the
style easy and off-hand. Many lectures are
contained in this book, all of which are sure of
transmitting profit with pleasure. The subjects
are popular, and the ideas expressed on religion
are practicable and sensible We would remark
that this volume is issued by this enterprising
publisher by special arrangement with the au-
thor, and is included on the list of gift publica-
tions emanating from this active and honorable
house.
