LEWIS, the originator of the Fairmount water works; JULIUS R. FRIEDLANDER, Principal of the Pennsylvania institution of the Blind from its foundation; JOHN VAUGHAN, whom every body knew; and ADAM WALDIE the publisher of the well known "circulating Library." The list of lot holders includes at least a thousand names, among whom are many of the distinguished citizens of Philadelphia. Already we have the tombs of great men in politics, in the Army, Navy, science, philanthropy and usefulness; and not many years hence Laurel Hill will be a place of pilgrimage almost, to visit the sepulchres of the great and good of our land. It is a place to be proud of not only by Philadelphia, but by the whole country, and he who devised and put into execution its plan deserves the thanks of his fellow citizens. It is a lovely spot, and the time will come when Pere la Chaise will not compare favorably with Laurel Hill. The author of the "Guide" has afforded a beautiful illustration of what Laurel Hill is, and all those whose affections have a sad remembrance there will be grateful for the work. It is now pretty well settled that burial places in large towns are deleterious to the living. We find this subject mentioned by Edwin Chadwick in his "Report on the sanatory condition of the laboring population of Great Britain." He states, (see Medical Examiner of Philadelphia,) a remarkable circumstance: "A bird fancier who lived near Clare Market, London, in a situation particularly exposed to the combined effluvice from a slaughter house and tripe factory, found he could not rear his birds in this place. Birds fresh from the country would die in a week. He had previously lived in the same neighborhood in a room over a crowded burial ground in Portugal street; at times in the morning he had seen a mist rise from the ground, and the smell was offensive. That place was equally offensive to his birds. On removing to another situation not exposed to such emanations, he was again able to raise birds." The inference is plain, and there are strong reasons which might be urged in favor of extra-urban cemeteries, independent of the influences exerted by the gaseous matters escaping from grave-yards into the atmosphere breathed by the living.

After this specimen it may be well to mention that the book was got up by subscription; no body has published it, and any publisher would have risked too much in such an undertaking, both in fame and fortune. We recommend the lady's friends to watch her carefully and not permit her mind to be exposed again naked to the public. Paper, ink and pen should be kept out of her reach, for with such powers and such a disposi tion to use them, it is impossible to foretel the deep distress she may bring upon the public, to say nothing of those who become her supporters, by subscription, She ought to be taught that the possession of wealth does not authorize a woman to exhibit her folly to the world of letters. She would do well in future to submit and defer to the opinion of her male literary friends all her own productions before she commits them to the printer. NOTE SUR L'ETAT DES FORCES NAVALES De La FRANCE.-A pamphet of 40 octavo pages attributed to the Prince de Joinville. The author assumes that in as much as England is the first naval power in the world, and as France is deficient in many essential points in her navy, the British navy should be a criterion for that of the French. He urges that a naval force moved entirely, or at least in part, by steam, is peculiarly adapted to the genius of the French nation, whose commercial marine is too limited to furnish seamen in sufficient numbers for the navy. But in steam ships of war, very few professional sailors comparatively are needed, and at a moment's notice, regiments of soldiers may be embarked to manage the batteries and do the fighting. He condemns the practice of building small vessels under the name of larger; that is, a frigate | cost of building, equipping and sailing an Atlantic should mean a vessel say of 50 or 60 guns, and steam ship of 2000 tons was stated.

Is this a sufficient sum to tempt a young man of education and talent to engage in the study of such a science as that of medicine and surgery? Is $480 a year a compensation to tempt a trustworthy surgeon to leave the shore for a sea life? Would any man who can pay $125 for being carried across the Atlantic, be willing to trust his life, in case of necessity, to any surgeon, (so called,) whose knowledge and skill would not be worth more than $480 a year? We hope the passengers would think their lives worth more than such a risk. Our navy is being reduced; ships of the line have been withdrawn from active service, and many if not all frigates are to be laid up, leaving sloops of war as the emblems of our naval force abroad. This our pride may learn to bear, but continue the plan for only a few years, and the navy will have few officers whose experience would give them confidence in the management of a frigate, or ship of the line. A man might be a most admirable seaman in a schooner, brig or sloop of war, whose qualities would fail to bear him out in the management of a large frigate, a ship of the line, or a The scheme estimates an annual net profit of squadron.

A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON DISEASES OF THE EYE.-By William Jeaffreson, &c. 8 vo. p.p. 307. London, 1844.

The sense of tightness across the fore- letter, from which we extract the following senhead, giddiness and constraint of respiration experienced by nervous individuals upon entering apartments heated by air, dried by hot iron stoves, or anthracite fires, or furnaces, may be referred to the change alluded to above. To obviate this difficulty it is only necessary to contrive a stove or heating apparatus which will warm the air of a room to 70° or 75° Farenheit, without becoming itself hotter than boiling water or 212° of Farenheit's thermometer. In very cold weather this can only be done by extending the surface from which the heat is communicated to the air, or in other words, augmenting the size of the stove to dimensions far beyond those now in ordinary use. The rapid circulation of water at a temperature of from 180 to 200° through iron pipes of from one to four inches in diameter, furnishes perhaps the very best means of obtaining the least objectionable kind of warmth for inhabited apartments. The principle of circulating water is very simple. Cold water is heavier than hot water, and the apparatus is so contrived that the water finds its way back to the boiler in consequence of increasing its weight by losing its warmth. The principle is illustrated on a small scale by the not unfrequent plan of supplying hot water to bath rooms, remote from the kitchen, by means of what is known by the name of "hot water back," placed behind or above the kitchen fire. In London the hot water apparatus is extensively used in private dwellings. In the United States we see it chiefly in hot-houses, conservatories and some few public establishments. It is particularly tence: "As a token of our affectionate remembrance and grati tude, we beg your acceptance of a piece of plate of the life afford you some pleasure, as having been presented to value of three hundred guineas, which we hope will in after you by those who appreciated your virtues and had experienced your fostering care." From such an announcement we expected something rarely excellent, but the work contains scarcely any thing that is not found in similar works, except self-glorification. It will not be republished we guess on this side of the Atlantic. So much for you Mr. Editor and for your readers. Let them take my hints and save or spend their money accordingly as they deem best.

CYLLENE. The author is rather minute and prolix, and his letters have hence been compared to the "Annual Register" and "Hansard's Debates." We commend the work to our readers. It is handsomely gotten up, and bound in cloth. THE HISTORY OF CHIVALRY, OR KNIGHTHOOD AND ITS TIMES. BY CHARLES MILLS. Author of the History of the Crusades, &., &c. This is another work of the valuable "Library of Standard Literature;" and is to be followed by Niebuhr's Rome, Ranke's celebrated Histories of the Popes, the Reformation, and the Ottoman and Spanish Empires, and the works of Proctor, Guizot, Wraxall and others. We rejoice to see some indication of a revival of chivalry. Our times are sadly deficient in that spirit of gallantry, to which it gave rise, and we are sorely tempted here to indulge in a tirade upon the beaux of the present day. We commend to their selfish natures, the study and practice of chivalry. Especially let them read and ponder on Mr. Mills' chapter upon "Dames and Damsels and Ladylove." When the unfortunate Marie Antoinette fell, Burke eloquently declared that the days of chivalry were gone. Burke was a philosopher and a prophet. The days of chivalry are gone. The beaux of these latter times, (too many of them at least,) have laid aside chivalrous feelings of disinterested gallantry, and given themselves up to a species of genteel loafing and dignified ease-taking. Few pay their devoirs to the fair, but those who are "courting," and too many "court" only to mend their fortunes. "Dames," and a most worthy class of "damsels," politely called "wall flowers," because they are often too sensible for foolish chit chat, or not pretty enough to be flattered, are entirely neglected. Ladies escort themselves about-or take their little brothers, or elderly relatives with them; or send to some well known bachelor friend; whilst the beaux parade in double files and think it honor enough to condescend to talk to the ladies when they meet them, at parties and other places. Out upon such craven laggards! Can't some Pope seize his pen? Can Salmagundi speak no more? If these gentlemen don't improve their gallantry, they shall feel the denunciations of chivalry, the displeasure of the fair and the bitter invectives of Americus South. RELIGIO MEDICI. ITS SEQUEL, CHRISTIAN MORALS. BY SIR THOMAS BROWNE. KT. M. D. With resemblant passages from Cowper's Task and a verbal index. These two works contain a mine of wisdom and truth from which many subsequent writers have dug some of their richest ore. Religio Medici seems to have been one of the favorite companions of the poet Cowper, whose poem, the Task, contains many passages bearing a striking resemblance to parts of it. These are all collected by the Editor at the close of this volume. Sir Thomas evinces much reflection and no little learning; and the perusal of this little volume will exert a good influence upon the mind and character of the attentive reader. THE KITCHEN AND FRUIT GARDENER, A SELECT MANUAL OF KITCHEN GARDENING AND CULTURE OF FRUITS. The whole adapted to the climate of the United States. This is a very useful little work, intended as a companion for The Complete Florist," and the other household volumes, recently issued by the same publishers. 66 The first volume of these agreeable and instructive let ters was issued some months ago, and many of our readers have become acquainted with them, either through that volume, or the English and American notices of the work. The letters to Sir Horace Mann, in the volume before us, extend from 1776 to Sir Horace's death, in 1786. These are followed by letters to George Selwyn, the duke and duchess of Gloucester and the Rev. W. Mason. The volume also contains a Memoir relative to Walpole's income, "short notices" of his life and a description of his villa, Strawberry Hill, which is so frequently mentioned in his THE CYCLOPÆDIA OF PRACTICAL MEDICINE, Edited correspondence; all of which are by the Earl himself. The by Dunglison, has now reached its XI. No. To be comletters to Sir Horace Mann contain much interesting infor-pleted in 24 parts, 50 cents each.

Walpole's sentiments were quite liberal and he often speaks freely in condemning the course of England. The style of the letters is familiar and often humorous and readily engages the attention of the reader.

It is attributed in New York to Mr. Eubank, the author of a late very valuable work upon Hydraulics. He is a sort of scientific antiqua rian, taking great pleasure in investigations, that would hardly be thought of by another.

D. effusion of human blood. In some of the islands there were evidences of a considerable progress in Arts, and tradi tions of valleys inhabited by men in an advanced state of civilization. The author indulges in some speculations as to the settlement of these islands, in connection with the peopling of America. Some of the islanders are said to have been circumcised. The visit to the English settlements on New Holland is interesting. The English do not occupy the most fertile parts of this Southern Continent, and the attention of colonists is directed towards it. The Australian islands are represented as perfect paradises, the climate being most delicious and salubrious, and nature furnishing a superfluity of the greatest luxuries. The publishers have well contributed by print, style and embellishment to render the volume attractive. MCCULLOCH'S GAZETTEER. No.'s XVI and XVII, received through Randolph & Co.

BY THOMAS JEFFERSON JACOBS. Illustrated by numerous engravings. The contents of this volume correspond with the above title. We have seen a notice of it, in which some "old tar" impugned the credibility of its statements. They are truly striking and wonderful, but we have long since learned not to doubt things from their apparent improbability. The most authentic narrations would at once stamp such a course with folly. Still it may be well carefully to canvass the marvellous and the pretended "hitherto unknown." If Mr. Jacobs'accounts be authentic, they are worthy of serious examination. We can only mention a few things that struck us. In the first place he became connected with the expedition by fraud and stealth. Morrell, offended because two agents or supercargoes had been sent out with him, seems too easily to have satisfied himself with his determination to abuse the confidence that had been reposed in him by the outfitters of the expedition; and the author, after all, by no means "clears up the mystery that has surrounded this famous expedition." He expressly abstains from making disclosures; and contents himself with some very general vindications of Morrell-that he was not so bad a man as had been represented. Of what occurred after he left the Oakley, in China, he relates little except her loss. Papua, Bidera, &c. are said to be native names for New Guinea, New Britain, &c. which lie in the Pacific Ocean, just under the equator, and N. E. of New Holland. The explorations of the Oakley also extended out into the circumjacent seas, and to islands said to have been by her first discovered. The manners and customs of the islanders are full of interest. Here we must condemn the course often avowedly pursued towards the natives and the unnecessary kept one of the finest and best assortments in this country.
