LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW FOR APRIL.
The political article of this number
Foreign Afairs-War in ltaly"-will be
read with unusual interest at the present
time, as it discusses the views and position
of Austria. Iu a review of C~arlyle's Fred
erick the Great, the conclusion is arrived at
that the work "may be more fairly regarded
as a vehicle for the expression of the authors
opinions on men and things, than as Il valua-
bic contribution to a history which has been
so often written and which thus far he leaves
much in the same condition a. he found 1t"
An important paper is that ON Bunsen's
Egypt and the Chronology of the Bible.
The remaining articles. The Minstrclsy OF
Scotland, National Gallery, Devonshlre,
George Ill. and Charles James Fox, and
Lord Brougham and Law Reform, afford a
welcome variety to the number. The paper
on Devonshire, in particular, adds a valua-
bic chapter to those local histories which
have formed so pleasing Il feature in some
Of the recent quarterly publications. Re-
published by Leonard Scott y Co., 81 Gold
Street, New York, who also reprint the North
British, Westminster and Edinburgh Re-
views, and Blackwood's Magazine; at - a
year singly, or so a year for the whole five

LOCAL ITE n S

Tur New BAPTIST MEETING llorsE.-Ih
improvements begun some eight months
ago by the Baptist Church on their former
Church edifce on Washington street, are
rapidly approaching completion. The con-
]gregation have been occupying their new
and commodious Lecture Room, since the lst
of January last; and on Sunday tomorrow
they will, for the first time, worship IN their
main audience room.
The workmen are now engaged in putting
a coat of Mastic on the exterior of the build
ing, which, when finished, will make 1t one
of the most attractive looking Church editi-
ces in the city. We need hardly say, that
all concerned in this improvement, have
ample ground to congratulate themselves on
their SUGGESTIVE architect who designed
the contractors who built-and the cOngre-
CATION, who, by their contributions have SO
perseyeringly pressed on with their under
taking. We are informed, that with the
exception of about $50 only, the whole sum
of money thus far expended on the building
and its furniture. has come exclusively from
the members of the Church and congre-
CATION. As. however, the improvement is
one which should enlist the sympathles OF
all christians, it is hoped that many Of our
citizens will avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity Ito be given them tomorrow, we I'M
derstand) of contributing something towards
this admirable improvement.
Divine worship, in connection with the
dedication of the Church, editice to the
Lord, will be held in the main audience
room, tomorrow morning, at Ii o'clock, and
at night at = o'clock. The Rev. J. L. Bur-
" ID. D., of Richmond, one of the most
popular pulpit orators in the State, will
preach on both occasions. a subscription
collection will be taken up to assist in pay
ing the remaining debt on the building. The
public are invited to attend.
EyCrRsloN.-The first Excursion Of the
b'h' h'A'H''
Young Catholic Friends Society, for the sea-
son, will take place on Monday next. The
steamer Thomas Collyer has been chartered.
to proceed to the White House, where we
have no doubt Il most delightful day will be
spent. The proceeds of the Excursion are
to be appropriated to liquidate the debt due
on St. Mary's Hall.
FAIR.-The Ladies of the Methodist Pro-
testant Church, are to hold a Festival al
American Hall, commencing on Tuesday
evening next, the proceeds of which will be
applied for the benefit of the Church. II
will be a handsome affair.
CANAL TRApE.-The coal trade on the
Canal has commenced again vigorously
and we hope may be prosecuted successfully
without farther let or hindrance.
CIRCUIT CorRT-TENTu DAY.-The court
Yesterday was engaged on cases of no public
interest, and adjourned sine die.

Nohs.-The associated press report from

ated.

ket. this morning, 225; Smith got Il plurality
there. and Thomas Is ut Occoquon.
As for the vote Of Fauquier, it is really yet

passed through the county to-day--leads us

it may be 100. and it may not be-.

The only positive news we yet have from
that county is from Amisyille, where Thomas
gained % votes on the vote between Showden
and Smith. when the county gave Snowden
80 mi jority.
We have little faith in the absolate or even
approximate accuracy Of the returns 50 tar
from Prince William, Stafford, Spottsylva-
mia, and King George. Our belief Is that
Smith is reelected by a plurality of from %
to 80 votes.
Leake, Dem, is probably elected over Pow
