DoMBEY AND SoN.-The Diamond edi- tion of Dickens--the happy idea of Messrs- Ticknor and Fie1ds-hls excited an ahun- dance of competition. Several other cheap editions of the greatest of living noYelsts, have been commenced by New York and Philadelphia houses. But the diamond edition maintains it's supremacy, both be cause 1t was the first in the field, and be- cause 1t best fultils the purpose of a cheap, neat and readable reprint of Dickens works. The volumes are of such shape that they can be put into the pocket, talk en into the cars or carried into the country They are of the right size to be perused on a summer day under shady tree-to hn read of an afternoon under d shady porch of country house. The illustrations, too. are fresh and striking. The type is small but so wonderfully clear, and impressed upon paper of so soft tone, that he whose eyes are injured thereby, must bo already far on the road to blindness. It is uo. slight satisfaction, moreover to know that a portion of the proceeds of this edition goes to the anthor-giving the reader the comfortable feeling that while he is enjoying the writers may plot and charming style. he is not at tho same time an accomplice in a theft ''Dombey and Son. is the sixth volume of this delightful edition, and is every way equal to its pred ecessors. -HuDford Courdm.
 The cost of each volume of the beautiful Illustrated Diamond Dickens is only Si.50; plain edition S1.25. Everybody ought to read Dickens, and everybody can afford to. own this cheap and elegant edition. It can be procured of any bookseller, or will
 be sent postpaid by the Publishers Tcknor

FOREIGN. At meeting at Birmingham last week, Mir. John Bright advocated Church Legislative reform for Ireland The latest news from -Abyssinia is very dis. couraging, and forbids the hope of suc- cessful or safe move of the British expedi-
 tion, this season. The resignation of Mir. Adams as United States Minister to Eng
 land has been announced in London and he will take his departure from England in April.
 The Emperor Napoleon, it is said, has become convinced that Bourbon intrigues against him, are being matched in; Rome, and consequently his relations with the Pope are less friendly. The Emperor has also renewed friendship with Victor Emman- uel, and given assurances in favor of Unit ed Italy. The liberals in the French corps legislatif last week proposed that all offen- ces of the press shall have trial by jury. After a sharp debate this amendment was rejected. Napoleon has strongly objected to the interference of Spain in the Italian question.
 The fact that negotiations for 7commer- cial treaty between Prussia and the United States are progressing favorably has been officially made public in Berlin. saes~a

 We doubt whether Mir. Donnelly learns any such thing. In our magisterial capac ity no col.ntenance has been more 'familia, to us thnn his.

Whereupon, the World abuses c. c. v. to the full extent of it's extensive vocabulary. All the vials of wrath of which Mir.
