BOOK NOTICES.

QUEEN yICTORIA'S JOURNAL, OR LIFE
IN THE HIGHLANDS, from ls4s to 1851, - to
which are prehxed and added extracts from
the same journal, giving an account of earlier
visits to Scotland, and tours in England and
Arthur Helps. Published by Harper K BROS,
New York. For sale by French Richardson
53i Pennsylvania avenue.
Queen Victoria's " Journal" as well as its
predecessor, "Life Of the Prince Consort," are
books containing materials destined to be more
valuable and popular in the future than in the
present. What Il diary left by Queen Mary, or
any of the wives of Henry the Eighth, would be
to Goldsmith or McCauley, this book will be to
the future historian. Simple details of every
day existence cannot but embody a certain
graduation OF samencss and tedlousncss, even in
the life of q sovereign. A double degree of mo-
notony encascs references to existing customs,
and habits common to the age In which we live,
which would be dlssipated II the modes and
manners Of past and unshared ages formed the
subject. II was during one of the official visits
OF Arthur Helps to the Queen that Her Majesty
permitted him to see certain extracts from her
journal, and II was through his solicitations and
the persuasions of q few very near and dear
relatives and friends, that she consented to its
publication. The Queen makes no pre- tensions TO
any skill in au thOrshlp. Impressions received In
the progress OF her journey In the Highlands
were jOtted down, here and there, simply to
recall to mind after Its termination scenes
and sources Of pleasure. Each daily entry Is
marked by the umost simplicity and severest
breyity, showing total absence of effort or
elaboration. Every line testihes the writer's
keen enjoyment and gratitude for present favors,
with the strongest goodwill aud bcnignity to-
wards her participants.
" LIFE OF MAxINILIAS |, LATE EMPEnOl or
MEXICO" with sketch of the Empress Car
lota, by Frederic Hall, one of his majesty's le-
gal advisers Published by James Miller, New
York. For sale by Coyle 4 Towers, 3li Penn
sylyanla avenue.
The sympathies and attention OF the reading
public cannot but be enlisted In the history OF so
romantic and eventful life as was that OF Max
imiiian's, late Emperor Of Mexico. UsyrpeT and
invader though he may have been, yet all ami,
mosities and censures were engulfed In the dis
astrous termination OF his ambitious projects,
and pity alone remains to enshroud his memory,
This narrative Is written by one OF Maximilian's
legal advisers who certainly possessed priyl-
eges limited to the few, for obtaining an Insight
into character, an acquaintance with facts, and
more than superficial knowledge Of motives
and results. 1t Introduces brief epitomo Of tho
history OF Austria, her origin, acecssions, de-
seendants, &c.j thence proceeds to the European
life OF Ing the genealogy Of
Carlota-thcn on through his calamituous MeN!-
can careers follows through his battles, sieges,
surrender, and imprisonmentj through his aecu.

The Dismal SWAMI Cannl.

The Speaker laid before the House yesterday
n communication from the Secretary Of the
Treasury, inclosing the opinion of the Attorney
General relative to the sale OF the interest of the
United States In the Dismal Swamp canal, nu.
thorized by joint resolution OF Congress pro-
vided the sale could be made in such a manner
as to secure its being kept open as a navigable
highway As the United States are simply stock
holders, and the sale would be but a transfer of
personal property, the Attorney General is at a
loss to see how the object can be accomplished
The Secretary, therefore, refers the subject to
Congress, and the sale Is meanwhile suspended.
