IHE ORIGIN AND H1sTHnT or TIE ES9L1sH LAM
GUAoE. and the early literature it cunbodies by
Geo. r. Marsh: New York: Charles Scrlbnce
Chicago: s. e. Griggs g. Co., Nos 80 and II Lake
street.
This work is composed of twelve lectures,
delivered before the Lowell Institute, Boston,
in The winter of 1SGU-G1. The copious notes
and Illustrations added in tie publication,
make it Il large, and VIC need scarcely add, Il
most valuable book. The period of English
history embraced i'll the work reaches from
the commencement Of the reign of Henry III,
in The thirteenth to the close Of that Of Eliza
beth in the seventeenth century, about 100
years. At first the English language, if in
decd it deserves the name, was rude and un-
couth-the language Of a pcople very little
removed from absolute barbarism. Its growth
towards the perfection it reached when the
immortal Shakespeare found it capable Of ex-
pressing every possible phase Of human pas
sion and feeling, marks the gradual develop
ment Of the English people in every thing
that can distinguish the highvst style OF
Christian civilization.
It is easy to sec that the task which our
author imposed upon himself was one requlr-
ing the widest and most careful research, the
incest discrimination, and q sound cultivated
| Judgment. For that task, probably no man
living is better fitted, and as might be expect
! ed, he has acquitted himself in q mastery
manner. No recent addition Of more import
ancc has been made to English literature than
the work before us. No scholar, nor any one
who aspires to be such, can afford to be with
/ out it.

The reputation Of both the author and th'
editor Of this work is fully established a
among the first philologists Of the age, ant
hence among scholars the mere announce
ment Of the work is all the recommendation
it will need. To right understanding Of ou
language, it will be found a most valuable,
not an Indispensable assistant.

1ion to TIC proposed scheme, but
Lc thinks that an equally serious

of the currency when The government shall
Commence redcen,ing and cancclling its

be any objection at all, except that every
interference cf the government with the

is grievance if not q crime.
We will so as far as anybody in admit
ting the necessity which has existed for an
issue If Treasury Notes. The people were
induced TO lend money to the government
in this way when it could not have been
obtained in any other way. The people
are satisfied with *'greenbacks,'' believing
that they will ultimately be redeemed
at one hundred cents on The dollar But it's
on the transition from Treasury notes back
to q different currency, which musl some

The Federal forces now occupy Baldwin,

passed Guntown last nignt retreating

1t is. estimated that 10000 had deserted
since they left Corinth, mostly from Ten
nessee, Kentucky aid Arkansas. All the
regiments from these States passed down
closely guarded on both sides By Mississippi
and Alabama troops.
1t is believed by country people that
Beauregard can't enter Columbus with half
the troops he brought away from Corinth.
Tie whole country east and north Of Bald
win is full of armed soldiers returning to
Tennessee and Kentucky.
Gen. Pope telegrapEs from the advance

The enemy drove and carried eff every

NEW YoRK, June 9.-The Fortress Mon-

On BOARD THE STEPPING SToNE.-Among
others who had come down with the rebel
flag of truce train from Richmond OBJ
served Mons. j. D. Pruyn Vice Consul of
the Netherlands, at Charleston and bis fam
lily, and D. Lecompte D'Choseaul, French
Consul at Charleston, his wife, child and
servant made enquiries for their leav-
ing their posts at this pressing moment to
look after the interests OF their country
men in secessia, but did not obtain any
satisfaction. Two things are pretty cer-
tain. First, they did not leave the conted-
crate ships until she was sinking and I'd,
they did not leave without Instructions from
their respective governments, and it may
yet appear that n. Mercier's visit TO Rich
mOnd had something to do With the mat
ter.
