AUTronsur.--Mr. Miacaulay's "History" is out of print. Three thou sand copies-the number of the first edition-ard already sold; ~iid a second edition-it is said ani iinproved one-is aircady in the press. The rumor ruus tihat the author has Bold his two vol. ume~s for tehn yeara to'the Mga irs. Long man, for an annuity of ?000 for that period. If poetry be down in market value, history is, it seems, up. "The Row" and Alber~marle street would ,owv probably r'turn "Paradise Lost" without looking att it-so that Simmnons' -?5 wvas, after all, a liberal sum for an epic poem, whlen we contrast 1848 with 1607. Hlume made very little by his "History;" but Smnollett made ?2,000 ni a very short .timeo-and( his work is said to have solil to the theci ainazing exteint of 10,000 copies. It wvas time that iaistory' should have a turn. Mr. Hal lain's historical works have, it is true, sold well;, but Carter strug gled hopelessly against want--and Sir Harris Nicolas, whose whole life was dedicated unremittingly to the illustra tion of English' history, had just passed from amongst us in circumstances too painful to describe. Our writers should learn, howvever, (and there are exam ples enough already to have taught them) that the mere heaping together of facts, the dry dis[,lay, as it were, of antiquarian diligence, has but slender charms for the general reader. Tfhe labcors of Carte and Nicolas are-like the drawings of great masters-of use only to students. The multitude look for color and coraposition, and for that skill which can 'ven make dry bones -ive."2 e Iusidd to thi9 pleasing ac cotntol.the'book market tha't 10,000 soies of Mr." Dickens' Christmas Sto rywere sold on the day of publication.

The mortal remains of .the Commodore Bolton were yesterday conveyed in great pomp to their last-place of abode, the English burial ground hero. Several battalions of the regular troops, line, guard,- and artillery, opened tile procession. Next came the phil, carried alternately by the sailors of the .Jxsnceown and the Sardinian troops; and immediately behind this walked, as mourners, a pretty large body-of the staff officers of the Sardian army,.tho A meri. cans of the.Jamestown, and the English of tli isuOiusan 84' gun shij wificha * come into.thiiiharnbor the same day..

Brevet Major Danil T. Chapaon, (Captain 3d loifantrv,) is brevetted Lieut. Colonel.' EXAMINATION DAY.-The Seienee of a schioolexamination is v'ery prettily explained by a schoolmaster's ameedote. A country school-teacher, preparing for an exhibition of his school, selected a class of pupils, and wrote down the questions and answers to questions that he would put to them on examination day. The day came and with it came the hopefuls, all but one. The p)upils took their places as had been arranged, and :dl w~ent glibly ona until the question for the absemee, when the teacert asked: 'In whenedo -yon believe?' The 1pu11pil) osat ne dt to the n nt seat without noticinig ubu4se question it was replied: 'Napjoleon Bonaparte.' 'No, no,!' anugrily exclaimed the teacher. 'in whom do you believe?' 'Napoleon IBonaparte.' Hero the teacher began to smell tbe r-at, and said: 'You believe in the IHoly Ghost, do you not?' 'No!' said the pupil; amid roars of'un controllable laughter, 'the boy that be lieves in the Holy Ghost, has'nt come to school to-day; ho's at homo sick abed.' A SHREwD REPLY.---A young friend of ours was undergoing an ox annuation for admission to the bar. Judge 5-- had pushed his questions pretty closely, but the candidate was never at fault. Finally, the Judge pounced upon him as follows: "Suppose that a Boston importer should come to you with a case like this"---and hero the Judge wont on to state one of the most complicated questions that arise in re gardi to marine insurance. It was a poser. Our friend, intending to prac tice in the country, was not "posted" up" on this topic. But he was a Yan kee, and he never was at a loss for an answer. So soon as the Judge had summed up his case, and closed off with tho inquiry, "What would you say?" Our friend promptly replied, "I shotuld tell him t~o sit down, sir, until I coutld look at my books." "The best thing you could do-the very thing you ought to do," rejoined the Judge, "you are Tho Brighton powder-mnIll blewv up on Thursdpy morning.
