We have not, in a long tiuio, perused a work fiction that has interested us as mitch as St. Eb Wo have read, before, books as fascinatii and, perhaps, books as learned; but have ne' found tho two united as in the present work. 1 havo read moral and religious novels, plenty them, and wo have also read the sentimental a tho sensational. St. Elmo belongs to none these. It is sui generis-uniting good points fr< thom all, skii?nlly woven toge'"".er by the hand genius, and endowed by that magic wand with air of life few could bestow upon such a cumbi some mass of learned material Miss EVANS is unquestionable a most l-emai i able woman. When she mado her debut, sor I eight or nino years ago, by the publication of Be lah, Rho created a great sensation in literary c cles, and the discerning every where at once pi dieted for her a brilliant future. Macar?a, pu lished during the latter part of the . war, disa pointed her admirors; it was a story deeply tingi with the sadness of the times in which it w written, and is, perhaps, moro full of tho defects bo found in all the writings of our authoress, thi either of her other two books. Although the authoress deprecates adverse cri icism, and devotes two labored chapters to th ??bject. adopting a trick by no means new, of a: ticipating every possible objection to her wor and refuting the same,-she has really nothing ? complain of. The first critical journals of tl country have spoken of St. Elmo in terms of moi unexpected praise. It should bo remembered thi she laid herself open to criticism to a remarkable di gree even in Beulah. It was tho first production of young and unknown authoress, published with ht name in full, who laid cit.im to an amount of lean ing, very unusual in novelists, and altogether s among female writers, The book, although gil ing abundant proof of merit, was not withor. many faults, which, however, the consid?r?t critic felt sure would be corrected in tho futur writings of tho authoress. Beulah, accordingly, was widely read, and it ''learning" as widely condemned. People tailed unkindly about the authoress, and charged he with making a parado of her erudition. Macarit met with the same fate. When St. Elmo was an noimced .the novel-reading world was on tho qu vive, to see what it was like. They Itnow Mis: EVANS possessed great power in constructing ai interesting narrative, and were perfectly willing ti onter tho golden regions of cloudiand, with her ai cicerone. The more judicious of her friends anr admirers wero naturally curious to seo the im provement wrought by years of study, and by tin experience of several additional years of life. W? hr -?>; now read Si. Elmo, and while wo place ii above any cotemporary work of fiction proceed ii America, and read it with the greatest oleu.^ire we cannot in candor withhold ?ensure, vhoic w< think it deserved. Miss EVANS has cultivated her fart.)', porb-''.ps over much. A duo adm'xture of the reid and idea! is requisite to constitute a perfect work of art. Ic "St. Elmo," tho lattor greatly predominates. Thc pictures she paints are fine creations, life-like, too, in a certain sonso, but not faithful to nature. They are very attractive, indeed, but they are na? ture idealized. In this she can find precedent in DICKENS, the greatest of living writers of fiction, who, invariably in ever}' one of tho numerous characters be has given to tho world, improves on the homeliness of nature. > "Edna Earl," tho heroine of this book, is alto? gether, perhaps, the most remarkable character known, either in history or fiction. Lady JANE CTREV was a tyro, and tho "Admirable" CRICHTON, i very ordinary Cliricbton, when compared with "Edna." This young lady, daughter of a carpen? ter, and grand-daughter of a blacksmith, born in the vicinity of Chattanooga, early lost her parents, ind at the age of twelve her grand-father died, the [astDf her kin. She then, young as she is, deter? mines to mako a support, in order to educate her? self as a teacher; and with this view Bots ont for Columbus, Ga., where she hopes to find traplo) uent in a certain factory. Tho car runs off the rack, there is a grand smash-up, and little "Edna" rastaincd a Berious injury. Hore she is found by 'Mrs. Murray,"a lady of wealth, who lived at a most gorgeous palace, along, the Georgia State Road, near Chattanooga. Said palace was known is Le Bocage, and in reading Miss EVANS' deecrip ;ion of it we constantly forget wc aro not reading if the Garden of th 3 HESPEEXDES. Hore Edna pur? ines her studies under the direction of tho clorgy nan of the neighborhood, Mr. Hammond. Ero tho reaches eighteen summers she has mastered he omni scibue. The Talmud was familiar to her LB wero the writings of ZOROASTER. Tho Organon >f Aristotle formed her light roading. She vrbte a brilliant and most learned monograph, phi ch was published in the leading literary maga ine of New York, entitled: "Who struck tho Mar? jie Gods of Greece," to prove that Alcibiades Avas LO t the iconoclast he has BO long been considered. ?1 this before she was nineteen. Miss EVANS likes not to have her learning found ault with. But no one can read her books with >ut running foul of these loamed snags. We will tot say that sho has gleaned it all out of thc mcyclopaedias, a charge sho seems specially to :esont. Wo will only remark, in tho first place, .hat the greatest of all a- is to conceal art. [yarning is no reproach, but an ostentatious dis Dky ia no.1! to bo commended. Any one who has n his own person climbed the steep hill of knowl? edge,-plodding before the break of day, and painfully bonding over the blurred page by the lim and feeble glare of tho midnight lamp,-ac? quires a veneration for the ancient treasures, and speaks not of them as lightly as does our au? thoress. There aro plenty of learnod men, and there have been learnod women also, but ladios lo not generally graduate in the abstrusa sciences, or discuss nico points in Greek history with Groto, at the age of seventeen or eighteon. The acquisi? tion of learning is tho work of a fifo time, and thc same man is raroly an adept in classic and scho? lastic lore, and, at tho same time, the writer of brilliant romances. Wo know BULWER will bo quoted as an exception. But his learning is in the back ground, ae compared with ST. ELMO. WALTER SCOTT also know much of many things, but seldom obtruded his knowledge on his read? ers. Nay, ho was himself remarkably humble on the subject of his acquirements. But we have said enough, and moro than enough, on this topic. "Edna Earl" is doubtless the beau ideal of Miss E.'s type of truo and perfect womanhood, and the character ?3 woU drawn, and fascinates the reader, as Edna is said to have fascinated all who came in contact with her. St. Elmo, the hero, is per? haps still less true to nature than Edna-alto? gether ideal if not impossible,-both as to his vices and to his virtues, and sudden aud radical re? formation. But such aB ho is, he will bo readily acknowledged King in every fonder female heart. The aim of the book is a noble one,-no less than to teach woman her proper sphere and mis? sion; and although tho model is somewhat too highly drawn, and beyond the reach of tho great majority, etil1 it is one wo can have no hesitation in recommending. Miss EVANS is a great admirer of JonN BUSKIN, and sends forth her book with a beautiful motto extracted from his writings, which we reproduce, as best exhibiting the object of the work under consideration : "Ah, the true rule is-a true wife in her hus? band's house is his servant; it is ia his heart that, she is gueon. Whatever of the best ho can con? ceive, it is her part to be; whatever of the highest he can hope, it is hers to promise; ali that is dark in him she must purge into purity; all that is fail? ing in him she must strengthen "into truth; from her, through all the worlds clamor, ho muBt win his praise; in her, through all thc world's surface, he must find his peace." M?BS EVANS has made her mark in literature, and we hope she will write again and often. Al? ready, her publishers inform us, 20,000 copies of St. Elmo have boon sold, and more are being printed. The secret of Miss E.'s success is that she is atnie, whole-souled woman, and finds, even for her ideals, a ready appreciation and sympathy from myriads of her countrywomen. Never before could America boast of such brilliant succoas on the part of a female writer. MARGARET MAITLAND OP SUNNYSIDE ; by Mrs. Olyphant, author of "Zaitlee," &c. Mrs. OLYPHANT is a favorite author of ours. She is always instructive and charming, and in none of her works more so than in the one now before us. tho quaint, simplo language in which the story is told has a peculiar fascination. There is a won? derful strength and beauty in tho Scotch idiom, and here we have it in all its purity. Mrs. Margaret 3Iaitland is a Scotch lady, belong? ing to the middle chas of society, daughter of the former Minister ol' Pasturelands, and sister to the ono with whom we form acquaintance in the pages of her history. She and her servant, Jenny, are both perfect in their way, finely drawn types of (hoir respectivo grades, each using tho language Buitcd to hor sphere of lifo in full perfection. Indeed, it is hard to find a better picture of Scottish life and manners, certainly not a moro pleasing one, than is here presented to us. Grace Maitland, the heroine, is educated by Mi's. Marga? ret Maitland, and though bearing the same name, is no relative. She and Mary Maitland, the minis? ter's daughter, Mrs. Margaret Maitlands niece, are beautiful, natural characters-not strong-minded wornon, but pure, gentle and true; such as shed a soft, sweet influence over all that como in contact with thom; such as we sometimos have the privi? lege of meeting in real lifo, as well as in tho papes of fiction; such as it is good to be associated with, even in the realms of imagination. - There is not much piot, but quito enough to maleo tho boole interesting. No thrilling excite? ment-no murders-no bigamies-no wonderful mysteries-all is natural and peaceful; and for this reason the book is doubly, welcome. It comes to us like an oasis amid the siroccos, which consti? tute the fashionable literature of the day, and wo recommend all who wish something truly refresh? ing-something that will make them feel, when they lay the book down, that they have parted from good and genial company, to read this book. When tho book first carno out, it was vory much admired, but it has been out of print for some years, and is now republished in a very attractive form by W. J. POOLEY, New York, and is to bo found at S. G. COURTENAY'S book store, in Broad street, through whom we have received our copy. THE OLD GUARD, a Monthly Magazine, devoted to Literature, Science and Art, and the Political Princi? ples of 1776 and 1787. February. The February number opens with an able and exhaustive article from its editor, entitled "Con? gress, not a Congress," which every Democrat and Republican in the land ought to read. W. GIL MOBE SIMMS' story of "Joscelyu," grows in inter? est, and promises to bo intensely interesting. JOHN ESTEN COOKE'S second article on "The Battle of Port Republic," is more sketchy than tho nrst one on "Manassas." The story of "Alverly" is well done. Tho "Capitol of Washington," from the grnphic pen of JOHN R. THOMPSON, formerly editor of thc SouUtern Literary Messenger, is a dashing description of thc present condition of that struc? ture. Prof. T.'s description of tho "Alhambra" is almost equal to IRVING'S. The poetry in the num? ber is good, especially THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH'S ' 'Charge by the Ford." Tho Book Table and Edi? tor's Table will attract attontion. FROS! EUROPE. By late steamer from Europe wo have the follow? ing goneral news: England. THE ALABAMA CLAIM?. Referring to tho Alabama claims, tho London Times of tho 8th of January says: Wo havo authority to stat . that in reply to a com? munication roccived from thc Government of the United States, lie . Majesty's Minister at Washing? ton has oecn iustr lcd tb ascertain whether that Government is prepared to accept the principio of arbitration upon the pending differences arising out of *he lalo civil war, provided an agreement can be come to" as to the pointa to which such ar? bitration should apply. Tho Times, of thc 9th, says : lt is now for tho Government of the United States to say whether they will accede to tho prin? ciple ol'arbitration, thc preciso terina and subjects of which are properly reserved for subsequent dis? cussion. Ol' course the depredations of thc Ala? bama are tho real sources of disput e; and tho great question for tho arbitrator will DC to what extent, if any, Great Britain is responsible, legally or mor? ally/under circumstances to bo duly sot forth in the case, for tho consequences of her escapo from tho Mersey. The law officers of tho two countries, if they could meet for consultation, would proba? bly succeed, in a very few hours, in framing a statement perfectly satisfactory to both. There is, indeed, no controversy about the facts. The jontrevcrsv is about tho" principles which Bhould je applied "to them. Here the amplest discretion should, upon every ground, bo loft to tho arbitra ;or. Tho Times believes that Lord Stanley, in making i proposal all bul identical with that which Lord Ltussell declined, will be supported by pablic opin on, and, further, that his moral courago in taking i COUTPO repugnant to a falso but plausible Bonti nentof national dignity, will bo rewarded by ? success. I The Telegraph's account is as follows : . i It is understood that her Majesty's Ministers . ?avo expressed their readiness to deal with tho ! ?laitns put foi ward by tho Government of Washi? ngton in rospect to tho Alabama by referring the natter to arbitration. In so doing they rescind he refusal of Lord Russell to admit tho idea of ar litratinn; but at tho same time thoy recognize 1 hoso diflicultics in thc way of any such sottloment vhich promptod tho decision of tho late Minister br Foreign Aflairs. Of course, while tho principio >f arbitration is accepted, tho acceptance must bo lubjcct to tho condition, that tho points referred ihall bo found admissible; and the Government of ho United States will now havo to define what aro he exact ?SBUCS on which it claims rcdross tor al eged injuries. PARLIAMENTABY EEFOBM. All tho conservative joiirnols, in their new year's irticles, indicate reform as one of tho things to bo lone this year.. It may, therofore, be sot down as :ertain that Lord Derby's Government will bring n a bill to amend Parliamentary representation. Che Liberal papers advise tho pcoplo to be on their *uard against deception, as it is likoly some bill vhich will confirm tho powor of the aristocratic 3las6os, while professing to extoud tho franchise, ivill bo introduced. Tho Morning Post, of the 2d (Tory), suggests a possibility that othor legislation nay impedo progross in the matter of reform, and suggests tho pacification of Ireland and the in? crease of tho army as among pressing matters. THE CABINET. Tho first Cabinet meeting preparatory to the as? sembling of Parliament was hold on the 6th inst. Ct has confirmed that gravo differences had existed n the Cabinet on the subject of military estimates, md it was believed that these divergences of iriow8 had boen adjusted by a compromise which ii'ould involve a small incroso of military expondi nre. It was also given out that the question of a Reform Bill had not boen absolutely sottlod, but that thc Ministry was likoly to "proceed by roso ution," unless tho temper of the House of Com? mons should bo manifestly in favor of immediate iction. Hungary-. PESTH, January 3.-In his answer to the con? gratulations offered to him on New Year's day, M. Doak said: "At the beginning of tho last year, wo know that a grave duty weighed upon our consciences, but none of us foresaw that beforo long that duty would become as heavy as it is now. So many ' misfortunes, so many political and material mise? ries, havo overwhelmed us, that it is difficult for us to avoid thom completely. I do not Bay that every hope i.j vanished, but a solution is*more difficult now than hist year. We do all that can bc done. Wo go as far as wo can go, and wh3ro duty bids us lo go. However, I ask you but ono thing continue, to have confidengp in me." Austria. Thc Emperor and Empress rccoived at Vienna, on thc 8tb inst., a numerous deputation sent by tho Huugarian Diet to congratulate their Majesties on tho opening of the new year. Tho Emperor, in reply to the address from thc spokesman of tho deputation, expressed hopes that thc New Year would afford, by tho blessings of poaco. some com? pensation for thc losses which had befallen thc country, and that in Hungary the sure basia of public welfaro and constitutional development might, by the display of mutual confidence, bo more apecdily and lastingly strengthened. Prassln. . Tho hereditary Princo of A-ignstonburg had issued an address to the inhabitants of Schles? wig-Holstein, dated Baden, January 2. lu this address, while reserving the Augustonburg claims, he releases tho SchlcswiR-Holatoiners from all obligations undertaken toward him by oiths or promises of allegiance. A deputation from the nobles of Schleswig-Holstein waited upon the King at Berlin on thc 7 th. when Herr ?erentiow, spokesman of the deputation, addroased hiH Majesty as follows: "Wo aro happy and grateful to see our dearest interests imrusted into the hands of your Majesty, and we are proud to belong to the renowned Prussian monarchy, mid to par? ticipate in tho blossings of the common Father? land." The ceremony of formally taking posses? sion of tho Dtichios was expected to take place in a few days. A proclamation has boon issued by the Minister of the Interior, ordering the electoral lists for ihc North German Parliament to bc drawn up by the 15th of January, and tho elections throughout tho entire monarchy to take place on thc 12th of Feb? ruary. Germany, FRANKFORT, January G.-Yesterday thc Assem? bly of Burghers unanimously resolved to accept thc functions of municipal councillors which havo been offered them by thc Prussian Government. BERLIN, January "il.-Thc party of Progress in? tend to br.ng forward a bili in thc Chamber of Deputies demanding that the members of the North German Parliament ahould receive a salary, and that their travelling expenses should be re? paid to thora. It is positively asserted that Heir von Savignv will be appointed President of the Federal Com? mission. Russia. A St. Petersburg telegram, of January 5, says : Three ukases concerning Poland, and bearing date the 19th December, have boon issued to-day. The first introduces the Russian system into the financial administration of Poland, and publishes a provisional financial direction at Warsaw under the control of tho Finance Minis ry at St. Peters? burg. Tho definitive constitution of thia office as a permanent finance direction ia reserved. Tho second ukase regulates, the postal administration of Poland, and subordinates it to the Russian Min? istry of Posts and Telegrapua. The thiid decree simplifies the general Polish administration. It orders that from the ISfih of January, Poland shall be divided into five instead of ten provincial gov? ernments, and eigWy-fivo districts, and that of? fices for the payment of taxes shall be establish? ed on that day in the governments and districts according to the new division of tho now kingdom. "It also grants fuller powers to the Governors, and orders the formation of local bodies of guards. "The sentence passed upon the. Polish exiles who took part in the revolt m Siberia having been confirmed by the Emperor, have been carried into effect. Of the seven condemned to death, four have been shot, and thc remainder sent oft* to bo kept at hard labor, together with thoso who wore sentenced to the latter punishment. Corporal pun? ishment has boen remitted in all cases." Tho London Times says thc Imperial decrees abolish all that remained of Pol-ind as a separate kingdom. Russia baa had her will, and Polish na? tionality CCL'-SOS to exist. Tho Invalide Eusse, commenting upon tho ukases relating i Poland, Bays that the object of these de? crees is the practical union and equalization of the regulations existing in Poland with those in force in Russia. "Administrative assimilation," it adda, "will enablo the Government to extend to Poland all the improvements which have been introduced in Russia. ' It is not true that Marshal do Borg, Lieutenant of the Emperor in Poland, will be merely Governor of Warsaw in consequence of tho new measures introduced in that kingdom. Marshal do Berg will continue to exercise tho functions of Viceroy in Poland as heretofore, and he continues to enjoy the full confidence of his sovereign, while his rule seems to bo fully appreciated in Poland itself. Greece. REPORTS FROM CANDIA. ATHENS, December 29.-Mustapha Pasha, on the 9th of Decorubcr, bavins: traversed the village of Alikiano (which was " pillaged bv his troops), attacked tho advanced positions of* tho Christians at Kates, and, after five hours' hard fighting, tho Turco-Egyptian army was obliged to fall back on Laki, suffering a loss of 500 to OOO men. ' It is af? firmed that, in traversing the villages of Orthormi and Coraco-Scafida, tho Turkish troops massacred thirty women and childron. In tho villages of Galala and Skinez, near Canoa, two peaccablo Christians have been put to the sword. The Governor of Canoa has informed tho Con? suls, by circular, of tho blockade of Crete. . Tuc United Stato3 Consul replied that he could not consider it legal, since it waa ncA effective. Two thousand women and children dying of hungor and cold wore on the scashoro in. Selino waiting for 8ome Europe tn men-of-war to save them. A Tnrk iali frigate made its appearance and began to fire on them, killing a few and wounding others. Thc number of tho Times newspaper containing a leading article advising Turkey to voluntarily gtvo up Candia and thoreby aottlo the. Eastern question for a time, was publicly crowned by tho people last night. P.

A Berlin telegram states that negotiations have recontly taken place between tho Governments of France and England relative to the differonccs which havo arison between Greece and Turkey, and that the two Governments havo resolved not to interfere in thc matter, excepting in tho case of intervention on the part of Russia. Thia latter essentiality ia not considered probable. Tho Evening Poat (evening edition of the official Vienna Gazette) declares cortain statements con? tained in a recent article of tho Memorial Diplo? matique to bo false, and aova Austria has.nindo no proposal to the Signitary Powers of tho treaty of Pans, but haa only addrcsaed a confidential dis? patch to the Austrian Embaseador in Paria, in atructmg him to open tho way for an exchange of views between the French and Austrian Cabinets on the questions at iBsue in tho East. PROM WASHJINGTON. SUr-RAOE IN THE DIBTRICT. Tho Mayor of Georgetown, Mr. TIcnp' Addison, is the first person to move practically in tho mat tor of carrying out tho details of thc recent Suf? frage Act for thia Diatrict. He iasuos notice to? day "to all tho malo inhabitants of thia town, above tho ago of twenty-one years, both white and colored, that tho Mayor and Board of Aldermen of thia town will bo in open session, in thc Mayor's office, between the hours of 10 A.

Corr. ?. Y. Times, Jan.'ll. SUPREME COURT. ' - I leam that tho decision of tho Supremo Court in the tost oath casca has received a very narrow construction at the Treaaury. It ia. for tho pre? sent at least, hold by hcada ol'.Bureaus in that De? partment that the decision does not embrace oili cors of tho Government, and that no salari?e can bo (brawn by officials who have boon unable to talco the oath proscribed by tho Act of July 25,18??2. Prom thia it would seem that it is thought, in sotno quarters that, howovcr plainly tho reasoning of a court might apply to other than the very caaos be? fore it, tho special matter decided only should bo considered aa Bottled. Doubtless this question will re?oive the early consideration of the Attorney General, when, it ia to bc hoped, a different rilling will bc uniformly adopted. The Government itself ia evidently a siiffercr from thc limited number of peraons, under existing circumstances, from among whom they arc compelled to choose the offi? cers connected with thc revenue and postal Kys? toms in thc Southern Slates.

Steps will bo taken so to co-oporatc with General Howard as to avoid waste or misdirection in tho distribution of the supplies, and Commodore Garrison has offered the use ot a steamer to convoy contributions to mid? point which may be designated. The Now York World has a notice apparently of tho same move? ment, which says: "No political color whatever ia to be given to this movement, it will have but one object, the sav? ing of them that aro ready to perish, and will bo administered in but one spirit, thc spirit of that charity which blcasca both them who receive and them who give. Tho ladies are encouraged to their good work by Mayor Hoffman, by the Catho? lic Archbishop of New Yorn, by Bishop Potter; by Dr. Tyng, and by a number nf other eminent lay? men and clergymen. They have taken a central office at No. 14 Bond street, whore supplie* of dry goods, clothing, &c, may bo uont from 9 A.M. to o' P.M."
