John Mar >by & C >., Baltimore. The author of this tale is one of the moat dis tirgniabed members of the B-itlah press, for many years connected with the London Chronicle and the Lot don Ikrald, now the ab'.e ed tor of the Dublin IVttkly Ttkgraph, and the au-.flar of a Catholic History of England, and oiler a andard wo.ks. Notaithetandiog tbe more feii<;u* pursuits in which he has been engaged, Mr KacCao# has found time to occasi;tally employ bis pen <n light liter atu e. Be is the anchor of several charming tales, la all of which a i gh moral a id religions purpose is visible and there is no writer, in shors, whoie works have grtaitf cuxxtEcy amongst tho members of his own talth. His la.t novel?"Floriuc"- although, like all hij tales having direct relert uce to one par lie alar ob ject?the glorification of the Catholic eo ;leai*9tic?l system, yet possesses an i&tnest fur the general reader apart from that fuamte. A li'elong ttndy of the monastic writers for nisturioal purposes, has stored his miud with a vast amount of-iafarm.-'ion rtspeeding the id-n and habits of the early Christian ages, and in a narrative professing to delineate the manners of those t<mes, he is enabled from this fart to input to it an actuality and life-Iks fidelity, wh'.eh tran sport us, as it were, bodi y to the t:mes and scsces of which he treats. Ia the story of' Florine," tSj. MacCabe pourtiays one of the mast inteAstiag episodes in the struggle of the Crass agalast the Crescent?the siege and captors of Antioch. Tae plot is simple but powerfally wrought out?its inty" rest beicg maintained le'B by the usual predom tut Itg influence of the love eUmaat than by the dramatic 50rce of its inc'idi-nts, the gbwiag vivil ress of lt3 descriptions, and t ae general accuracy of its local and historical da.ails. We hire said enough to f ive to our readers a general idea of tae merits of tbe story. We will now proceed tc gira h few extracts, which will enable them to judge for themselves. THE HENEGAPS. In the largest apartment 01 one of the highest towers that flsnkeo the walls of Aniioih, and from the a arrow orifices of which war comtuaod-.d a view of tne Christ an escampineot, there ttooo a iuao, cased in the thick plate Minor which, worn then by the Turns alone, was after wards adopted by the C'hri tiau*. and preferred by thain to tbe chain or scale armor In wbioh they had prcvoasly been invariably arrayed. The th'n, grilled ba r of this man showed that be had passed the middle periol of life; and the dark wrinkles in b e h-gh forehead, and noon bis hollow cheeks, and his sad downcast eye, served to prove that anxitlrs and cares bad with him outnumbered his years, snd were fast hastening him to his grave. The contraction of hie brow, the Hidden twitching of his fin gers, as they played unconsciously with the belt or hilt of his sword, and tbe half-muttered exclamation* that burst occasionally from his lips, us he paced up and do *n the room, and then unconsciously stood still, as uncon sciously to renew his solitary pace, :iHorded abundant evidence that within that weakened body there was a heart ill at ease?a mind dissatisfied with Itself?a can science that was cot to be hushed, and that would not be quieted into repose. Tbe man, as be walked up and down the apartment, suddenly stopped 1 A new object bad attracted bis attention. A flash ol light had burst upon the horizon, and for a moment his eyes were dazzled with a novel, unexpected, and unlooked for brightness. What could it be? He looked again?or rather he continued to look with a long, unswerving, steady gaze, on what at first attract ed bis attention; and then he p-rceivsd that, in the midst of a dark winter's day, tb? sun had suddenly clo Ten out for itself a road of light, acd its glittering rays weie now covering, as if with myriads of sparkling, daz zling diamonds, a polished golden image of the crucified Redeemer, which had been that day erected, for the firs time, in front of the light bias tent and saow white cros i that denoted the abode and banner of Adelmar, the Papa Legate and Bishop of Fuy. The man continued to gaze, until the object he so looked upon was lost in tbe blinding tears taat, In de spite of bis stubborn heart gushed to his eyes, and forced bis reluctant memory back to the days of his childhood, when a mother W;4 him what that symbol meant, anil wherefore mortals, wuea they look upou it, should bow their bead in rever>nce. and say?for so uhe had told him?-'Sweet Saviour ! look with pity upon me, a sinner " The man knew that he was alone?alons?quite alone; as much alone as if there were nought else in the wtiola wide world but himself and tbat glittering golden image of the Golbtad, on whioh he could now gaze with no ejo to watch him. The man felt tbat he was alone; snd so feeling, he re movtd tbe helmet from lis head,-and knelt down lowly and humbly before that golden image; anil, as he did eo, the words of childhood came again to his Hps, and he ?aid : ''Sweet Saviour ! look with pity upon ins, a sin ner;" and, as he spoke alond tbe words, he wept like a child. , Theee strong emotions passed away; and when he again gazed forth upon tbe pla ns of Auiioch, the sun light had departed, and the golden image could with difficul y be distinguished amid tbe banners, ensigns, flags, and crosses, that crowded the distant Christian encampment. With the sunlight had departed his feelings of devo tlon, but they had not visited the man in vain, for they had stirred up remorse from its inneimoat depths, and compelled him to think ot what he was and what he had been. He rose heavily and with difficulty from his knees, for the agility of youth wae no longer in his limbs; and, as he did so, his hand accidentally touched the figure of " the crescent" which formed an crnament on ths front of his helmet. A thrill of horror trembled through his it ami at the touoh. " Tbe crescent on my head I and that head has bowed flown before the cross ! Oh ! miserable ! miserable ! A renegade ! not true to God nor Mammon. A double traitor; forsworn on all sides; neither to be bound by the hopes of my youth, nor the promisee o! my manhood. A beheser in Christ, a fendatory to Mabomet 1" And to wept the renegade?so tat be with hit face bu rled In both hie hands, be knew not ho * long,"for new emotiom were throbbing in bU heart, when a mtttenger entered the room, to gay that a Greek named Alexander, of Constantinople, requested pe.mission to speak with him. "Admit him," said the renegade. So deeply engaged waa this man with his own thoughts that he forgot both the massage and the messenger the moment the latter had quitted the apartment. He changed, however, his attitude, for inetead of restiog hia face on both his hands, he leant hia elbow on the table, and auppoiting hia head in the open hand, as he gated upwards, he remained so absorbed in contemplation as net to notice the entrance of the person who asked for an interview with him. And as be tbus leant baik with pale face and grizzled balr, and eyes dimmed with tears, which still trickled in his hollow cheeks, he looked the emblem of profound grief in its saddest aspect, for in bis case It was grief?combined with old age and fragile health. The Greek, as he entered the room, removed from his clustering black locka the rich velvet cap which usually covered them, and bowtd low and reverentially to tha renegade; but as hs did so, instantly perceived that nsl UJkrhin entrance nor his greeting had been observed. The Greek, aa he noticed this, paused as he was proceeding to the spot at whlen the reoegsde was seated, and looked at him far some tims with a cnricus, inquiring, searching g?e, as If he felt an in ternet In the investigation; but if there was an interact felt, thsre certainly was no sympathy, for tlie expres sion of the face continued unmoved the eye glittered as brilliantly, aye, and aa malignantly too, aa that of a snake; and on the lip wsa the same cold, calm, heartless simper, rsther than smile, which the man first wore as be entered the room. The renegade still sat in the same attltnde of lassitude and of grief, uneoceelous of the presence of the stranger. The Greek'* cariosity was at length folly astiefled, end he determined to make hie preseni* known; and, these:ore, advancing up the apzrtment, be mat tared to himself, "He is much changed?more than I expected;" and then speaking aloud, he said "Do I not stand in presents* of tao Knur Feroz, com Blander of the ronnd tower* of Antioch r" "Such is my name?ancb too my title," answered the renegade. "Thy name ana bnslnees, etr anger?" "My name," said the stranger "la Alexander of Con stantinople; my bnsineee is that of my master, the lugh and mighty Prince, Alexin*, Emperor or the tfroeks." "I had a sen named Alextnder," remarked the rene gade, in a sad tone; "he should be about thy ago. I pray thy pardon, stranger, but there Is something in the sound of thy voice awakens the thoughts of my son. What was <ny father's nam#!'" "I entreat your Excellency not to presa me to tell my father's nama," replied tbe Greek. "And nhereforo?" aeksd kerox "Boeaute I tm not prondormy father," said Alex iindw. "Not proud of him! I do not underetand thee." "Then I must speak more plainly. 1 do not like t? mention my father's nemt, because?I am ashamed of bin*" Ferot felt a thrill is of Ics run through his trembling frame as these words ol the young Greek were u'tersd. tie, however, continued the conversation, for painful as it was, still It wsa in accordance with the train of thought over whioh be had been ruminating previous to lbs eetrsnr* of the stranger.

Between the froit or toe tent and the bor ders of the ravine no guard was stationed, as it waa ?itemed to be Inaecesaible On thin occasion, as on pre cecing evenings, tlie front of the tent was occupied bv eolciers aco camp followers, who corns to listeu to tha m.u;?e> ?f *?ufed by the sports wb chwers intend t! * pleasnres of the banquet.

His head was covered by a red "m which, In all his gyrations and evolutions, kept on, as ii it wire tightly faateneo by acme adhetive matter to the akull; the man s brown neck, arm', an t legs were bare. "d ?f.LIa body waa a tight fitting white jerkin, tavten ed at the waist by a red saah, in wiiicti were three a words fii??r'?.U4. 8 two daK86lB. unsheathed, and all oi glitter og lr gbtn.ss, which flashed aero is the eye by his ltceeaant moticns, but remained, in all tha ra tin faah turtl?ga, immovably within the close fit As eocn aa the Arab had reached the centre or the unoacnpied space, he stopped suddenly. He stood for an instant on hU feet, and then bounding about three feet from the ground he turned In the air, and catne down on both his Uanda, and aa he diu so, with hfs legs kick writ* th-m ail eorta of arnio trr-la, he walked deliberately lound fo thncreaeeat BPapeil tabid ; and whilut tbe whole audi&uco within tke tent, as well as the lookers on outside, wore roaring out their applause, or bumting with laughter at tha manner in which the thin, ague legs were capering in tbe air, there was one who aid not smile, but who kept watching the black, dazzling eves of the juggler, and who per ceived that be was taking a particular notice of tha ait uation of each peiaon at the table, and above all, had fixed his eye for a fnll minute upon the eulllcg, uncon scious, unsuspecting face of Swein; and she who watch ed him, ssfing this, whispered in tin ear of Morlae?"Do not pay attention to whatever I do; but bslieve It la done to serve you. Bellev# in me and pray for me;" and with these woids Zara disappeared from the banqueting hall of the tent. * 6 The juggler had passed and p%sa?d again tha Interior of the wide space reserved for acrobats and mounte banks. delighting aU by the oddity of big attitudes, when he again suddenly stopped, bounded upon his feet and then, leaping high in the air, came squatting down upon the ground ; and, after tumbling head over heels as if he wire in pain, and Injured by tha fall, he again eat etlll, end, taking out some balls, he began to cast them in the sir, mating them perform aU sorts of changes, and again provoking admiration and winning applause by tbe dexterity of hia motions, aw A6n blB Hia tails had ceased, he took np the three s words and daggers, flinging thorn in the a'r, catching them as they left, and at last exciting almost as much horror as admiration, when he appeal to be standing In the midst of death, by the shower of armed weapons that appeared momentarily descending upon him, and which he was constantly sending np again into the ?'?. v" * the r br?*th whan they saw him playing with these mortal weapons as if he never could be wounded, er aa if to to sport with death was a pastime. It wei in the midst of tho excitement caused by this fesrfol?to Europeans almost perfectly novel* exhibition-and when the lookers on were ad?'?tlon, that they forgot to exbi bit, by the usual demonstrations of applause, their de Ugbt and wonder; it was when the air was filled, as it might be aaid, with ascending and descending g sorts and daggers, that there swept a female form thropgh them, Disarranging them, and sending them down in what waa> really dargerous and unexpected coafuilon upon tbe head of tha juggler. No one had remarked the female figure until it was seen in tbe air, and then It csme (as It was afterwards eupposed) from behind the chairs where Florine and Qunbilda were sitting It was suspected that there the lemale unexpectedly mounting up on the high throne like back of Fiorina's regal chair, bad caught with one band a golden rope wbich hung from the roof of tbe tent, and swing log off into tha open space, bad purpose ly flung heaeetf into tha midst of tbe juggler's swords and doggers, and it might have been with the intention, f/i.1. * wounding him where he atood. Whatever was tlis object, there wti but one iaterpre'a ticn put upon the incident itself by all who looked upon it, and tlat waa, tbat it was done In connivaoca with the juggler himself; that it was intended te add to the eacitement of ihe sport; tbat tt was a preeonoerted ad citicn to the evening's amueement; and tbat to him was to be ascribed tha merit of this unlooked for novelty snd hence it happened that whilst the juggler himself etocd confuted, amazed and frightened, as the swords and caggcrs ware tumbling down and inflicting two sdght wounds upon him. the tent rang with arelama tions for him, and flbouts of laught?r t)ar.tt fortb. and cheers wei? given for the "juggler's wife," as the flying female figure in tbe air was designated. And at tbe applausta and cheers warv ringing out joyouslv, the female continued to awing in the air, and to Has hands to ber audience, as if thanking them for tbalr approval, until at last the ?wingiAg of the rope began to slacken, and aa it swung her within a few yards of the jusgler, she dropped lightly to the earth, and drawing forth awords and daggers from her girdle, she C02li?*'L 40 ?*), MWnnd, aa if entreating permission to exhibit ber skill. , ???|n burst forth, and tbe female tripped over to the table of tha guests?took from them two small circular silver dishea, and daetiing them up in tha air turn by turn, and catching them >.a they fall, and then making them send forth a jingling sound aa they loach ed each other In ascending, she returned to the eantre of tbe wide unoccupied circle. Ihe juggler looked on utterly confounded by this in cident, and aa much amazed at the woman's dexterity ae any of the by standers. He could not at flrst guess who his new aasUUnt was; her face was oorered 'bya thick white veil, which fitted her like a mask yd. wy. ?o close as to render every feature un \ .

Such were the various and conflicting considerations that made the sword of Selim tremble as it crossed that held in the tteady grasp of Zara. A bmst of applause cams ftom the delighted specta tors when they beard the first clash of blade against blade, being certain they should now behold a most mcgniflcent specimen of the sword exercise in a mim'c single combat. None but the combatants them.elves remarked that each had in the left hand a small dagger, which at the same moment both drew together. The combat was a. brief one; so brief, that it was over almost as soon as it begun. w As Belira ssd Zira crossed their swords, each followed the first, cut at on* another's beads by a stab which Zara bad faded to parry, but which etuck in hsr thick quilted silk jacket, but could not penetrate it; whilst her thrust at i-tl'm. though partially parried by his dagger, yet slid a'ocg the ribs, testing the flesh as it passed in ward.

Zara did, and grssplrg tbe rope which hung down in what might be now considered as the arena in which gla diators bad been Gghttng, she caught at it, and with a short run atd v'yornes Jump, she made it swing hsr high over tbe heat's of the guests, and then dropping behind the ctair of Florae, sfce disappeared as suddenly as she had presented herself to the view of the spectators Acclamation marked her exit as her entrance, and then lb* eyes cf all were turned to Selim, expecting to see him rise, and, like those who had preceded liim. go around tbe fable, where rat dames, knights and not las, calling out largeste, largesse. gehin rcrrain-d itill?perfectly still. There was no motion in a single limb. Not a linger moved, but there he lay with b's face buried in the earth.

Swtine and Florine, followed by Gunbilda, descended from their throne. Their guests rose ss they did so; but Florine motioned to them to remain s.tting, sai then, holding Gurbik'a's band in hers, ehe walked after 8wein around the table to the place where Selim was still lying.

It forma two handsome royal cctavo vclumra, with tbe same cuts by which it waa beioie illustrated, but with a larger and more legible type. We have had occasion so frequently to cri'iclae the merits of this production of Mr. Abbott that it ooly remains for ua to notice tha fact of its n -ar pt arar.ee in its new shape. What ever msy be the objections taken to the strong tone of partizanshlp which pervades it, there can be no question as to tbe ability with which it is written. If not or.e of the most Impartial, it is at all events one of the most interesting and picturesque biogra phical narratives thst has ever been penned. In an historical point of view, too, it possesses s certain va lue.

Opening np a new and moat important branoh of scientific re search, it is at orce one of the moot valuable and meet deeply interesting philieophical treatises that bin emanated from the pen of any writer of the last ball century. It givee ua not only a closely reason ed account of the winds and currents of the sea, but of the circulation of the atmosphere and ocean; of tli? temperature and depth of tne aea; ot the wonders that are hidden in its depths, and of tho phencmeoa which display themselves at its surface.

On Human Longevity and the Amount op Life on the Globe, by Professor Flounus, of the ^ French Acadtmy of Sciences. Bailliere. ^ This Is an exceedlrgly curious and interesting fUcatiee. It condcuees into the thickness of a small brochure the results of the labors of a host cf aci- 1 entitle writers, with the author's own conclusions. Tbe questions which it examhios may be thus briefly tun me d up:?1. The Amount of Life; 2. The ap pearance of Life npon the Globe; 3. the fixity of Species; 4. The Species Destroyed and Lost. Ia tfuee are included incidentally the conditions of Luman longevity, of the continuity of life and of old age. In reference to the opinion of Mr. R 9 veil Id Parke, that the beginning of the decrease of the ani luil economy is in the respiratory organs themselves, aud that in fact this is the first origin?the starting point of old age?Professor Floorend says:?" 1 oan not adopt this opinion. Old age does not coalmen :e at an organ. It is not a local, but a general phe nomenon. All our organs grow old. Moreover, it is not always at the same organ that wo feel the first effects of age; it is sometimes one, sometimes si. oi her, according to our individual constitutions." fcoUNTAIN8 AND llOLXIIILLS, OR RECOLLECTIONS OF a Burnt Jocbnal, by Frank Maxryatt. Harper Blotters. The value of this narrative conBiati almost entire* ly in the peculiar Idiosyncrasy of the writer.

Tbe publication of a volume of speeches by a politician argues that his own appreciation of their value is gieater than that of his contemporaries, who would otherwise have saved him the task.

Stringer & Towusend. This is a story of French rural life into ths current of which Dnmas' pen seems now to be entirely di rected, sir.ee he has exhausted the field of hiitory for his subjects. It is marked by all the defects aid all the exaggerations of hi* style, bat at tbe same tine possesses all that force of imagination and epigrammatic brilliancy whloh impart such a charm to his works. The Conscript may be ranked amongst the very best of his productions. Household Words, by Charles Dickens. Dix & Edwards. The Ju'y number of this intestine publication has some exoelleit papers, amongst which may be spe cified "The Mase in Livery," "The Plagues of Lon don," "Two Chapters on the Crimea, by tbe Roving Englishman," end "Boots and Coma."

We have, in short, uselessly whiied away our months and year*, and know nothing. We heard a little of the customs and knowledge of the Europeans arid Americans, and have desired to travel about <n the five great continents, but the maritime prohibit org of our country are exceedingly strict, so that for the foreigners to enter the " inner land," or for natives to go to other countries, are alike among the 1 immutable regulations.
