by every Democrat who desires to know the truth. The Delegates to the Cincinnati Convention will find it invaluable as a text-book with regard to the party divisions in the State of New-York.

Some Account of the Life of Spencer Houghton Cone, a Baptist Preacher in America. New-York: Livermore & Rudd.

It would scarce become us to play the critic upon this volume. The life of one, however, who possessed great influence, and who always used that influence to maintain and strengthen the harmony of action and feeling between his brethren of the North and South; who, by a wise conservatism, long aided, in an eminent manner, to repress every feeling else; whose heart, whether in civil or religious matters, knew no North, no South, no East, no West, nothing but a common and glorious country, a common and glorious heritage of freedom, and above all, a common and glorious Gospel; the life of such a man, however plainly and poorly told, can not fail to exert a beneficial influence upon the minds of those who read it, especially at this time, when so many are preaching malice and all uncharitableness, rather than peace on earth and good will to men.

The Bunsby Papers: Second Series. Irish Echoes. By John Brougham. New-York: Derby & Jackson.

A HAPPY title. But is not Master John happy in every thing? Simply the greatest pet of the greatest number, does he not realize the wildest Utopia of Utilitarianism in his own good-looking person? The public are equally tickled, whether they listen to the rich unctuous roll of his voice delivering his own wit, or the wit of others; or whether they kindle the evening fire with his "Basket of Chips" and spread their hands with a comfortable chuckle over the genial blaze. In sooth, we are happy, too, this month. The kindly lobe of our critical heart is the only one called into action. Doesticks and Brougham are before us, and we can not fetch a sneer, or set a frown, or utter a "pish!" for our lives. We are for the nonce, therefore, truly happy. The Bunsby Papers before us are a collection of Irish stories told with admirable point, and colored with the warm hues of Irish genius. They are all interesting-all lively. There is not so much of the sparkling wit, and rollicking mastery of words as one who had listened to "Pocahontas" might be led to expect; but in place of those, we have what the great world and the little world will better appreciate― romance, life, passion, variety, and interest; something which every body can understand, and something which every body will probably read.

THE press of matter upon our pages compels us to postpone until next month Reviews and Notices of "The Modern Revolutionary History of Ireland-Savage ;" "Ruskin's Modern Painters ;" Quarterly Law Journal, Nos. 1, and 2-Randolph, Richmond, Va; "Vagabond Life in Mexico;" "Pluri-bus-tah;" Humboldt's Island of Cuba; Wau-Bun and others.
