Literary Rarities.?Unlikoly tilings arc sometimes found in out-of-the-way places. A copy of the first folio of Shakspere's plays (102.1) has been met with in a carpentei's shop near Maidenhead, and is now in proper hands. It seems \ that it was sold at a country auction many years | go, and bought, with some other hooks, for a few shillings by the present owner. A copy of Spenser's works, folio, Kill!, which formerly was < the properly of one of our greatest poets of that ] day, has also turned up in the same neighborhood, | together with the second edition of the notorious production of Philip Stubhcs, "The Anatomy of 1 Abuses." At Reading, only a few weeks njjo, a gentleman purchased three of the tracts of the | celebrated Kob?-rt Greene, publiyln-d between 1.1S9 and 1617, including the "( roatMvorlh of ' Wit/' in which Shakspeare is designated as 'the I ( only Shuksccne in a country."

We pulilidhed an item on Monday stating the udden death of Jclm li. JJavis, one of the jiro- 1 prietorxnf theOirard IIamiso, New York. The ' gentleman is still alive, and the mistake was i owing to the telegraph, which rendered a di* patch which was sent to his family stating, " Father ia no worse." " Father is no more." The same family were alarmed a few years since hy ' a similar blunder crcnted hy the telegraph operator, who scul a dispatch which should have I read 41 Father has taken possession of the lii- i rard House," no that it read "Father has tuken poison at the Girnrd House." i Marriage on the Cars.?Quite a romantic effair occurred on the ears between Atlanta and Mnrietta, last Monday morning. A couple, on matrimony intent, got on the train at Holtouville, Cobb county, intending to Mop ut Marietta and get the knot lied, but fiudimliug a clerical and 1 legal gentlemen from Atlanta on board, the ceremony was performed while the train was making 1 thirty miles an hour, and the happy couple went on tneir way rejoicing.

On the 3ltli of Oerember there liail been 82 mills stop|>i'>I; 2-1 were i>till operating, but only 2 of litis iiimilier were working full lime, the others working but two or three ?litv? in the week. OUR TRADE WITH EUROPE. We have seen it stated that in the single inonih of December, we s-ent from the port of New York, .<$7,.r>iH?,o()ll in specie. From Hoston, >52.500,1 mi0 in payment of our debt. This, with llie value of cotton, !?l.r>,(J00.00l\ would make a total of $:;i,()iHi,0nn forwarded to our creditors jvcr the sea in t wo months time. REMOVAL. We would rail attention lo the advertisement, in another column, of die removal of Uami.y'h Hotel. Mr. K. has removed to the house formerly occupied hy .Mrs. Ai.ixn, and is prepared lo accommodate hoth permanent and transient :ustom. It would bo superfluous to say any tiling in commendation < ( this house, as Mr. R. md his excellent lady have been engaged in the lUMiicss of Hotel keeping for a number of years. Any one who once visits their house will not fail o go back again, for Mrs. Hanky is u must ex:ellent Landlady, and one who understands how 0 "do up" tilings in the culinary department lo 1 nicely. DIRECT TAXATION. We notice Hint lion. \V. W. Boyck, Tlcpreseiiative from llichlnud Pistriet, who fur some time iust, lins alilv advocated llie abolition of our sysem of l-iii.-inir a revenue l>y .duties on imports, ind the Milisiitmion of direct tnxmion for tliis mrpo.se, lias submitted tlie following resolution in Jongrcss: J{>solved, That a committee of seven be nploinled, to which shall lie referred to inquire into ind report on ilio following subject?, viz: A reduction of tlie expenditures of the Gov:rniuent; The navigation laws of the United States; The existing duties on imports ; and The expediency of a gradual repeal of nil iluii*.s on import*, and u resort exclusively to inter* lal taxation. SLAVE TRAFFIC. England and Franco, although professing an ihhorreiice for this traltiir, it would appear from lie fallowing, copied from tlie Washington Union, li:*v they ore virtually carrying oil this trnftic, indor tlio name of apprentices. We enn see no lilR-rence in tlio apprentice system und tliut of lie unrestricted slave trallic. These apprentices ire captured by African chiefs and sold as npirenlices for a limited time, against their consent, l'liey are thus forced into (slavery iu its mo?t nn:;ial form. But to the extract: By a private letter received iu this city from Nnaiigo, Coast of Africa, dated September 23, lc'57, we ore advised that the French have prac ically engaged in the slave trade under the name of upjireiitiers, and t hat a ship, the "Clara," j( llurileaux, was at Lnango at the date mentioned above, loading with negroes for Martinique, ' \ French war ^learner lay along sidn to protect' lier from the Kngiish cruisers, who would have irized her hat that she had a French naval officer m hoard with orders to the French Commodore lo ported her. The English are also using nejwes as slaves at Sierra Leone. The Freach and English Ciovernments are participating in a trade which they ufl'-ct to deem so hideous. A barraeooii has been built by tin; French at Lonngo, to lie Used for the safe keeping of the slaves until Llicy are ready for shipment. There is no secret in this biisMncrs, and no disguise is attcmptod. FROM WASHINGTON. A correspondent of the Charleston Mercury writing from Washington, says that Senator ['ugii's bill for the admission of Ivniibas is premaUirc, inasmuch as the people cf that Territory have not yet formally applied for admission.? When the Lecomptoii Constitution does formally some before Congress for adoption, there will be produced against it the joint resolutions of the laic Kansas Legislature, remonstrating against its adoption, and rccoinmcnding the Topcka Coniiitiiiiini; the returns of the tripartite election, to lie lieltl this day?provided such returns show a litlerenl. result from that of the election held on the 21 si nit.; and, us wc- arc informed, affidavits nun vcmuciiK.'s, ien?'ni?j 10 (shew I lie irregularity ami illegality of tlie Locompton Convention.? There i>re declined to be throe parties in Congress on the Kansas question, when it comes tip officially: the Administration party, in fnvor of the adoption of the Lecompton Constitution, unless ionic flagrant, mid material irregularity and illegality be shown; the Douui.ab prnty, in favor of rejecting the Constitution uud passing nn enaL?'iiinr act for the formation of uuothcr; and the Republican party ultra, iu favor of adopting the Topeka Constitution. Again in referring to the Nicuragttan affair, ho iins the following : 'We speak knowingly, when we say that Commodore Paulding will not ho cashiered, not even reprimanded, for hi* conduct in arresting Walker and his men. The sentiment of the Administration is, that although Commodore Pauliling's instructions did not literally extend to the soil of Nicaragua, still tiro unlawful expedition having escaped his vigilance upon tl?e high sean, lie wus hut following up the spirit of his inatruc ...........>fs ?>V 'WAI<WUIVI<<II UII >>>rrigD BOII, provided he could do so without interfering with the peacc of the government of such soil, nnd especially when in so doing, he was relieving 3Uch government of a dangerous foe. Cotton Shipment.?The Journal of Commerce in making its j early reports and summary of the United States for 1857, slates: ''The number of bales of cotton shipped was 2,9(55,588 against 2,991,175 for the preceding year, and 2,303,403 for the year 1854-5. The price averages higher than for any preceding year since 1H39. This has increased the total value of the shipments, although the quantity is less tliun last year. A very instructive comparison of the difference to this country of a change in the ex|>ort price is shown in the relative quantity and value shipped lust year, nnd Ilia year culling June 30th, 1855. The quantity is very nearly the same ill both cases, hut the value li?s gained over thiriy-tlirco million dollars. A Hard Case of Commercial Distret*.?No place abroad, says the Boston Transcript, has Buffered more from the commercial revulsions than Hamburg.

Uoitxe of lieprcsentaliuei.?The House went " into Committee of the Whole on the State oi the Union, uu the President's Annual Mcs- 1 sage. Mr. J. Clancy Jones, in the House, submitted '' a aerie* of resolution** referring the various " branches of the Message to the appropriate com- *' mittees. Mr. (Quitman moved an amendinciit referring P that part ol the message relative to tho enforce 11 meiit of the neutrality laws to a select committee ll of live members. a Mr. Stephens concurred almost entirely with p the argument of Mr. Quitman, lie wished this matter inquired into by some committee who "j Would report.

We " have already an army and navy for this purpose. Then for what purpose dors the President want additional forces?

To do that, the whole neutrality law '' must he perverted. *' If the President had the right to make seizures in a foreign land lie lias the right of n dea- v put nscommnndcr in -chief of the army and navy. P If men can ho Ruptured as these were, they must he captiirud for no ofteiice. The pursuit of any expedition heyond three miles from land is unlawful, and its capture on a foreign soil is also " unlawful, and as the gentleman from Georgia ^ (Mr. Stephens) said, it is rohhery to do it. lie did not know what position the Administration 0 occupies, llo believed that Cnpt. C'hatard in " sight of Puntsi Arenas allowed the disembarka- 81 tion of Walker's men, heeanse he had not the power to prevent it. and that ollicer was recalled in J? disgrace. " ]>ut Commodore Paulding nt that very spot sent his men 011 shore to capture Walker nnd ''1 his men, nnd ho is not yet involved in disgrace. 01 A singular stsite of affairs?Cliatnrd disgraced for not doing what was done by Paulding, who i> ^ retained Air.

Washington, Jun. 7, 1858. Senate.?Sir. Hammond, the newly electcd Senator from South Carolina was iu his seat toi4?y . . ? Mr. Seward presented a petition from citizens ^ of New York, for the extinction of slavery by remunerating their owners, which was laid 011 Uie ' table. . . Several bills and resolutions were introduced, and after some business of an unimportant cliur- J. acter, the Senate went into executive gesssion. ' JIauxc.?The Central American question was taken up and Mr. Eli Thayer made a speech, ^ which was in fuvor of Americanizing Nicaragua by colonization. , Mr. Adrian condemned fillibustering in general, ami attached no blame to Commodore I*aulding, for his course in arresting Gen. Wulker. Without transacting any other business of . importance, the House adjourned to Monday. ^ bitertsliuff Cnxe.?An interesting case is before r' the Supreme Court of New York, in the shape of a suit brought to recover possession of a nutnber of letters written by General Washington to Colonel Tobias Lear, (his private secretary,) now in possession of Mis. Edward T. llighee, * wife of Ilcv. Dr. Higbee, of Trinity Church.? j Mrs. Iligbce is the. niece of the widow of Col. y Lear, nnd the letters in question, at the death of j( the latter, wore handed over to her (the niece's) r cure, with instructions, however, to have them || sent to Mrs. Mason, the mother of Senator Ma- ? ,.r v:..-:-:.. ?-J ?- - v/i i gmm, mm iu accompany t'.iein with a note, expressing the desire of Mrs. Lear, that it should he held subject to the directions of the J lion. Kichnrd ltush, of Philadelphia, und that he should make what use lie deemed proper in the way of publishing the letters, and presenting tliem eventually to tho State of Virginia. 8 The plaintiffs in the case are Wilson 1%3're nnd * Louisa Lincoln I?ear Eyre, who charge that the defendant.. Mrs. Iligbee, never executed the re- T quest of Mrs. Lear, and that she ought, now to " he compelled to give up the letters. Defendant's , counsel, in the course of their argument, said his client was willing to present the letters to the State of Virginia. The letters ore said to be literary curiosities in their way, and refer prin- v cipally to uppointments to offfec. Hon. George Bancroft was iu court, and by permission of Mrs. Higbce's counsel, examined the document*. 7 The Latest Fashion.?The lady promeuadera | on the Avenue, this morning, were somewhat ( horrified at the appearance of a distinguished n foreigner, who held up her dress so as to display v an undoubted scarlet underskirt. What an idea? e Yet these same peasant petticoats are now all r the rage across the water. Queen Victoria t brought them to Ixindon from her Balmoral pal- a ace iu the Highlands of Scotland, about two 0 years ago, and this year they have been adopted ? by the Empress Eugenie. Of course, they are i a la mode, those of alternate uarrow stripes of ( red and black flannel being more distingue than e the plain scarlet. Silks and satins are lo be no 0 longer trailed in the raud, and the ladies who wish to be a la mode should not only provide c themselves at once, but practice gathering up ? their <lres?ca in graceful folds, so as to dixplay | about a foot of the bright-colored underskirt.? t All of which Li respectfully submitted.?

This is stating thesui it in elegant Johnsonese; lint, uuglier, it may li s-hmtly rendered thus: "IJlow your horn, ify<> if do not sell a il d li<li !" and it is in this fori c that this tid-lnt of wisdom is usually cominun a eated by ancient mariners to callow mongerx < t- the scaly commodity. The knob of the ndvic is, that whether one he ii|i or down in the work it is his duly, by making a great noise and a ftu e generally, to announce uniiiisttikably to hi compatriots that he is living and kicking."
