    of nature and probability , hot allowing- ofany exaggerated colouring to mar the artistic proportions of his picture . The trials and sufferings of the poor female relative and dependent—a class of society none the loss numerous iron 1 the fact of its being almost entirely unrecognised—are faithfully and touchingly delineated ; and the reader experiences a laudible thrill of satisfaction when the two heroines , I / aura Hope and Anne Ellison , rise triumphant over the difficulties by which their eaily career has been surrounded , and find refuge , from the taunts and insults of unprincipled and exacting kinspeopie , in the arms of affectionate and decidedly eligible husbands . Without doubt , this tale is worth the reading , and we can safely recommend it to the inspection of the public . Boston and its Inhabitants , by the Hon . Eleanor Eden , is also a work of considerable merit . Were it not for a tendency on the

    part of the authoress to enlarge unnecessarily upon unimportant details , Which somewhat retard and render tedious the action of the story , the present would be a most agreeable and instructive work of fiction . The characters , which are chiefly selected from that favoured and privileged class of fbciety , generally designated by the term " fashionable , " are all drawn with the most delicate and artistic finish , and cannot fail to secure the approbation of the reader We refrain -. from going into any particulars of this story , the plot being scarcely of that description which shows up favourably in an analysis . We will , therefore , conclude our remarks by saying , the substance of which has been already stated , that were this decidedly clever production reduced to about one half its present compass , the result , would be in the highest degree satisfactory , both to the author and the reader .

    "VTEVER was any author subjected to such treatment as ouirgreat . 131 dramatist . Every possible kind of intellect makes every possible kind of speculation regarding what lie has written ; and the commentators bore the reading public with their squabbles to such an extent , that if he were not the most delicious as well as the pralbundest of w-wterBr-hia-producfcions ^ ouldHbe-aTOT puzzling ever published . . The pi'esent addition to the Collier controversy , or rather attack , neems to us totally uncalled for . The belligerents in that controversy seemed to be fully aware that they had tried tho patience of readers to the utmost , and that Mr . Collier ' s known probity of character was an unanswerable reply to , the rancorous and petty attacks , made on his works . That ho had fallen into some errors was likely enough ; but that he was the unmitigated scoundrel his few opponents tried to mako out , -was believed by no one who had not mingled with the cliquo , who having rashly commenced the . ' attack , seemed to think there was a necessity to continue it , at any cost to their victim , or to their own characters as reasonable and just raon . The present pamphlet chiefly impugns the accuracy of Mr . Collier ' s roports of some lectures of Coleridge ; a matter , as it appears to us , not of the slightest moment , as we have Coleridge ' s Lectures on Shakespeare in a much better and more satisfactory state . Next comes a bitter attack on some of tho readings of the 1 ( 332 , or Perkins' Folio , which tho author may certainly impugn , if it pleases him . Amidst all this hubbub of controversy and heat of contest , wo are bound to say the author makes some excellent suggestions as to various readings , and scorns to havo n pure taste and an appreciation of the groat writer . Embedded as the now readings are , in tho wrangle of contention , wo expect vory fovv persons will trouble themselves to dig out tho good from bucIi a mass of petty and tddious controversy .

    SPECIAL . Hanover , August 7 , 1860 . SEVERAL semi-official reports are in speculation respecting the late meeting of the Prince Regent of Pkussia and the Emperob of Austkia 5 and the Prussian Cabinet , it is said , has despatched to the different German Courts a circular note , in which it is stated that the results obtained at the Baden meeting have been perfected by the meeting at Teplitz . The two monarchs are of one accord to defend , afc all risks , the integrity of every state of the Confederation ; and , though no positive stipulations have been made , they have come to an Understanding upon all the great European questions . As one consequence of the meeting at Teplitz a note has likewise been despatched to the Tuileries by the

    Prussian Government , expressing the conviction that the neutrality of Switzerland can never appear sufficiently secured so long as France refuses to declare the nature and extent of the obligations attached to her late territorial acquirements . The Prussian Cabinet ente rtains the hope that France will perceive the absolute necessity of affording every guarantee that may secure the completest neutrality to Switzerland , and thereby restore confidence to Europe generally . A note to the same effect has been , or will shortly be , despatched by Austriato Paris . The Donmi Zeitung publishes the following semi-official notice of the Teplitz meeting : — " The eventful days of Baden-Eaden have been followed by the no less eventful days of Teplitz . Their significance ami their aim

    were the same . An equal and common necessity drew the princes of Germany together . What was cbinnienc . . iat Baden hits been completed at Teplitz . The broadest and firmest basis for a united German policy upon all the great questions winch are now agitatin * Europe has been estabh ' shed . The interview between the two great sovereigns of Germanyy upon whose good understanding the fate hot only of Austria and Prussia , but all Germany , depended , has confirmedthe happy -union of alltheFederal States ; Without pretending to be initiated in the late transactions of the two princeswe may declare it as our conviction that a thorough accord

    , exists among all the Governments of tte Confederation , and more especially between the two Great Powers . We believe it to be no longer a matter of doubt that guarantees have been obtained for the combined action of all the forces of the country , inthe event of any aggression upon German territory . For the attainment of this long-desired end , not only Germany , but all Europe , has reason to be thankful . The policy of this country is clearly not ao-oressive , but pure ' y defensive . Consequently , the close union of all the States can never be a source of alarm to other nations . It serves merely as a guarantee for the maintenance of peace , and

    the balance of power . , ,. , The Press declares the following to be a reliable report of tlio entered into . On the other hand , it may be accepted as a fact that the eventuality of an attack upon Yenetia has been taken into consideration , and a line of conduct arranged . As long as Italians alone shall be opposed to Austria , Prussia will in no way feel bound to leave her position of neutral observation ; but should the events of the war take such a turn as to lead to another intervention on the part of France against Austria , should the legions of STapoleon again descend from tho Alps , Prussia would regard this as a serious menace of the existing balance of poAver , and fool obliged to interfere actively . Herein lay the difficulty , for should she

    Prussia , in such ; an event , be of ^ effectual assistance to Austria , would require not only the exercise of all her strength , but the combined strength of entire Germany—an utter impossibility under the present military constitution of the Diet . A compromise was , therefore , entered into at Teplitz to tho effect that , in case of another intervention in Italy by France , the Federal army will move upon the Rhino , and tho supremo command bo conferred upon the Prince Regent . The importance of this arrangement for the integrity of Austria and tho influenco of Germany , ns also for the maintenance of tho balance of powor , is self-ovidont . According to the Brcslau Gazette , tho Prince Regent , on hia arrival at Teplitz , greeted his Ministers with groat heartiness * and expressed himself somowhat in these words : —" Gontlemon , our line of conduct remains unaltered . We shall not deviate from

    the path we have adopted ; and I think Austria "will follow us m the same diroction . " It is , therefore , to be hoped that each country , in its own way , will strive to reach one and tho same object . " It is generally supposed that tho sudden and apparently frank appeal . ta-tho-peaple ~ of—England-by-the-Emperor-JNAPOLKON is , in a great measure , to bo attributed to tho meeting at Toplitz . Opinions are divided as to the effect it will produce upon tho public mind of England ; but the majority ol the journals aro inclined to think it will lend force to tho peace-preaching of tfyo Manchester party , and disincline tho nation from a closor alliance with the Gorman Powers . Some would gladly boliove that tho Emperor ' s letter has arrived a day bohind the fair ; and that a coalition has already boon conoluded between England and tho chief Continental Powers . By all appearances England lms laboured hard to bring about a good understanding between
