life and writings, which I have prepared to be laid before the Institute with an accompanying letter. Of course, I was very much cramped by writing in a foreign language; but yet I have contrived to say one or two things which, I hope, are as just in fact as they are appositely introduced. Writing in the country of Cujas and D'Aguesseau, I could not forbear making an allusion to those great minds. As ever, my affectionate recollections to all your family and to yourself. C. S. P. S.

ttle of the commodity in question. To all thinking men, it must be truly refreshing to turn aside from the furious bustle of business into the quiet retreat of a library of well-selected tomes. Such a class as we have alluded to regard an oasis of this kind an indispensable requisite to perfect enjoyment. When one can, for a few dollars per annum, surround himself with all the highest products of the older civilizations-- when his surroundings console him for the loss of Paris, Rome, London, New York, and other large communities — when he is encompassed round about not only by the solid books which the best minds of those cities have produced but all those ephemeral, fanciful and jocose thoughts which passing events call forth from them, we think neglect of such an institution betokens want of literary taste, niggardly parsimony, or the absence of that refinement of which we are want to boast.--We believe the books of the Richmond Library are to be placed in the new building recentl

a Pope or Cardinal, apropos of the building of St. Peter's, the artist's assent, and the premier's triumphant rejoinder, "Then it was a job, of course." Mr. Adams has received two deputations this week, both congratulating him on the re-election of Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency; the one from the Emancipation Society, boasting such names as Baptist Neel, Thomas Hughes (author of "School Days at Rugby,") Newman Hall, Sir Charles Lyell and S. Lucas. The other from the workingmen of South London--the result of the public meeting in the Lambeth baths, spoken of in a former letter.--The addresses will be sure to get re-printed on your side of the water, hence I need say nothing about them nor of the occasions, only that the presenters of both were refreshingly in earnest and disposed to regard the matter as by no means and idle formal.
