of letters from Dr. Pleasant Jones to Major
Joseph Jones, of Georgia" This is the title
Of book just published by Lippeneott 4
Co., Philadelphia. 1t may be called "Row-
land for an Oliver" for taking as its motto,
the scriptural words, that with what inca
sure We mete, it shall he measured to you
again." it presents such record OF misery
and crime in England as will show that,
from that quarter at least, the Southern peo-
pie should have no stones cast at them, on
account Of their domestic condition. We
cannot say that their national ordinations
aud denominations are any more to our
taste, than personal quarrels: but it may be
we'll enough occasionally, to teach other ma
tons, that they had better be concerned in
casting the beam out Of their own eyes, than
in pulling the mote out of ours. The array
Of facts given, proving the evils that exist
in Great Britain, and the neces sity for the
people there Of looking at home, before they
commence "phiianthropic" exertions abroad,
is quite startling. The book, we doubt not
will attract no little attention, both on this

The National Intelligencer, referring to
the disturbances on our Mexican frontier,
produced, it is said, by the raids Of the Mexi-
cans across the border, says that they afford
some faint idea of the responsibilities that
would be entailed by 'protectorate" over
the whole of that distracted country. 1t Is
as much and more, under present circum-
stances, than we can do, to keep the peace
on the frontier; what would be the trouble
