THEArLANnc MoNrHLY.-We have

Il HE w y Udtc
received the May number of this popular American
monthly. Mrs. Stoves new romance is commenced
in this number. 1t is entitled .'Agnes of Sor-
rento." The story is one of love and duty, of joy
and trial. Its heroine is ayoung girl, born in a
Catholic,eountry and educated under the influence
of Catholic institutions and in the development of
the plot the author has sought to illustrate the in
fuence of that creed upon the lives and characters
of its yotaries. 81 u slEgssT
From the intense interest in this subject which
has been manifested by the people of the United
States within the past few years. and the fact that
it has entered largely into the discussion of the
political as well religious questions Of the time
it cannot be doubted that Mrs. Stoves elucidation
of it, through the medium of fictitious narrative,
will cause it to be widely sought for and as
eagerly perused as her previous brilliant c,ntrbu
ton to American literature have been. TheAtlan-
tic is published by Tcknor & Fields, Boston, 90

TIE VALUE OF IRON BATTERrEs.--The late engagements in Charleston has disclos- ed two facts, which are well worthy utten- ton. One is, that the most efficient of the batteries which demolished Sumter was an iron battery, which is said to have been the first actual test in actual war of iron tortl- fcations. The other fact is, that the float
 ing iron battery successfully resisted all the heavy shots of Sumter, thus demonstratns the value of iron armor for vessels, Tn at tacking ports We would suggest whether floating batteries. similar to that in Charles ton. might not be constructed in this city, and lowed down to the neighborhood of Old Point, whilst few batteries on land might be constructed of the same material, and brought to bear upon that famous for oss.-Richmoad Dispotch.
