In conference with Dr. Porter, Prof. Stuart, and others, the American Board of Commissioners was formed, and afterwards the American Tract Society, the first Teetotal Society, and the Education Society.

Dr. Woods' works have been published in a collected form, in 5 vols. 8vo., and they contain a treasury of learning and orthodoxy. It is understood that the History of Andover Seminary, from his pen, is nearly ready for the press. Richard Penn Smith, a gentleman of superior intellectual qualifications, and the author of several plays and novels which were highly esteemed, died recently, at his residence at the Falls of Schuylkill.

We regret to announce the death of William McIlhenny, Esq., who for many years was the librarian of the Philadelphia Athenæum. The deceased was a most estimable man, and was esteemed and respected by all who enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was one of the oldest members of the Philadelphia bar, was kind and courteous in his manners, and thus greatly endeared himself to all the visitors of the Athenæum. He was about seventy-six years of age.

It is with feelings of unfeigned regret that we record the following. From an intimate acquaintance with Mr. Worthington, we can sympathise sincerely with his friends and the trade generally.

DEATH OF J. HIRAM WORTHINGTON.-A despatch from Cleveland, Ohio, received this morning, announces the death of J. Hiram Worthington, of the firm of Jewett, Proctor & Worthington, publishers and booksellers of that city. Mr. Worthington was brother of one of the proprietors of this paper, and was well known and highly esteemed by many in this city, having been a clerk in the Traveller office for several years. He was an amiable and estimable man, active and indefatigable in business, never sparing himself in promoting the interest of his employers, and ever kindly and

"DIED.-On Aug. 8, in Gloucester-road, Old Brompton, Thomas Crofton Croker, Esq., aged 57." In this country comparatively little was known of Crofton Croker. He was very far from being a leader in the van of literature, but he was eminently genial; had talent, aptitude, tact, and industry; was widely known, when very young, as one who had successfully made researches in the antiquities and fairy lore of Ireland, his native country; and was as extensively acquainted with literary men as almost any person of his time.

He was born in Cork, January 15, 1798. Before he was 17 years old he had walked over the greater part of the counties of Cork and Limerick, accumulating a vast quantity of legends, anecdotes, traditions of old customs, and views of local scenery, for he was an excellent sketcher.

In 1821 Croker revisited Ireland for a brief time, accompanied by two clever artists, Alfred Nicholson and his sister. In 1824 the result of this and his former tours was produced in a quarto volume, as Researches in the South of Ireland. Truth to say, its quarto publication was very ambitious.

Mr. F. B. Habersham, assistant editor of the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, died lately in his 26th year.

Mr. Charles Preuss, recently deceased, was a native of Hanover, and has resided for many years in this country. He served with much credit in the Coast Survey, under Prof. Hasler, and showed superior talents as an engineer and draughtsman. He also accompanied Col. Fremont in his exploring trips to California and the Rocky Mountains, and at the time of his death was making charts of the recent survey of the

Early in 1825 appeared, anonymously, a small

volume entitled The Fairy Legends and Traditions
of the South of Ireland, with some fanciful woodcuts.
At once, it sprung into popularity.

As the Fairy Legends had a vast sale, John Mur-
ray pressed the author for a second series; and, in
April, 1825, sent him back to Ireland on a legend
tour. The quest was successful, for a second bud-

"completely spoiled to meet the views and wishes of Mr. Colburn," its publisher. For the Camden and Percy Societies, he edited several volumes, and printed one copy of a History of Kilmallock, in the South of Ireland, which he presented to Moore. His latest publication was a letter addressed to Mr. J. S. Redfield, publisher in New York, on the letters of Thomas Moore to James Power, his music publisher, suppressed at the instance of Lord John Russell, and published here by Mr. Redfield.

Crofton Croker has left an only son-a young man of much promise.

He was better as an antiquarian than as an author. His collections of historical and literary MSS., and of Irish antiquities, were very extensive-the largest, perhaps, of any private gentleman in Eng

land.

Caroline Bowles, the second wife of the poet Southey, died at Buckland, on the 20th of July. Her contributions to Blackwood's Magazine were anonymous for more than twenty years. Many of her most popular and graceful productions were furnished to that journal, as "Ellen Fitzarthur, a Metrical Tale," her first venture in literature; and, "The Widow's Tale and other Poems." Besides those pathetic novelettes, the well-known "Chapters on Churchyards," which have been republished in this country, were originally contributed to Blackwood. The next volume was "The Birthday, and other Poems," published in 1836. "Solitary Hours" was issued in 1839, and consists of a series of sketches in

prose and verse. Besides these, a little book entitled "Tales of the Factories." In 1839 she was married to Dr. Southey, who was at that time in a state of declining health; and as he soon after became feeble in intellect, she devoted herself, at great personal sacrifice, to the care of his remaining years, with the most assiduous attentions. About two years since, Mrs. S. began In October, 1826, Croker was introduced to Scott, to arrange her writings for a collected edition; at Lockhart's, in London. He was journalized by of which her long illness has probably prevented Sir Walter, as "little as a dwarf, keen-eyed as a hawk, and of easy, prepossessing manners-somethe completion. Among the correspondence rething like Tom Moore." That same year, a second ceived by Mrs. S. herself, or collected from edition of the Fairy Legends was published. In friends, are upwards of 1,200 unpublished letters

of Dr. Southey, which perhaps form the best past history of his familiar writings. The whole of these papers are bequeathed to Rev. Mr. Warter, a son-in-law of the deceased poet, and the editor of his "Doctor" and "Common-Place Book." A mistaken report has been widely circulated that Mrs. S. was a relative of Rev. J. Lisle Bowles, the poet, but she was none other than a literary relative.

of Archæology. He was often called upon to
deliver funeral orations in eulogy of the great;
but he provided, by express prohibition, against
the delivery of any such discourse at his own
funeral.

A notice of the death of M. Emile Souvestre,
occurs in a late number of the Journal des De-
bats. M. S. was born a Breton, and was first
brought into notice by his papers on Breton
popular literature, scenery, and superstitions,
which, after having been published in the Revue
des Deux Mondes, were collected and issued as
"Les Derniers Bretons," in 1836. Besides other
popular tales and sketches in prose, M. S. was
the author of several plays, among which is
'Riche et Pauvre."

Col. J. S. Skinner, in the Washington Monument, and also to make a donation to his widow, requiring a sum for both objects, of about six thousand dollars. Why such a place should be selected for a memorial of this kind, or whether it would be allowed to occupy such a position, we do not know. Another curious feature of the enterprise, seems to be to increase the subscription-list of the "Plough, Loom and Anvil," one half of such annual subscription being given to the above objects, the latter of which is certainly most commendable. Col. Skinner's memory is cherished with great respect by all readers of agricultural literature, and his widow should not be left to struggle with adversity.

Mr. G. B. Sowerby, lately deceased at the age of 65, was an eminent naturalist, especially in the department of conchology.

In 1830, Mr. S. published a single number of a work on the Species of Shells. Besides these, he issued 200 parts of a splendid work entitled "Conchological Illustrations," and an excellent "Conchological Manual," also, an edition of the latter with colored plates. Mr. S. traded largely in Shells and Minerals, and was much respected among connoisseurs. All the members of Mr. Sowerby's family are more or less interested and employed professionally in natural history, and his son has acquired an honorable reputation for his conchological writings and drawings.

On the 15th of July, George Cuitt, Esq., the distinguished etcher, died at his residence at Masham, Yorkshire. The only son of an artist of note, Mr. C. devoted himself to his father's

profession, and his sketches soon gave promise of talent. While yet a young man, he settled at Chester, and published some bold and striking etchings, entitled "Old Buildings at Chester," which were followed at intervals by a variety of similar productions. His "Yorkshire Abbeys' are said to be especially chefs-d'œuvre of art. In 1848 a very handsome edition of his collected works was published in folio, under the title of

In 1846, '7 and '8, he traveled in India, and made many valuable observations in natural history.

The death of M. Raoul Rochette, is recorded in the late English journals. He was a noted French antiquary and thoroughly acquainted with everything appertaining to antiquarian lore. He was a member of the Académie des Inscriptions, a Perpetual Secretary of the Académie des Beaux Arts, and University Professor

We might write a long chapter on the monuments now erecting, or whose erection is contemplated in memory of our revolutionary heroes, distinguished authors, or men of note. We need not express our own sentiments with regard to the structure which is to be known as the Washington Monument. We simply state what an Athens journal says: "The Greek Government has selected a marble block in the Parthenon, for the monument of George Washington, now being raised in the city named after him. It is to bear the following inscription: 'To George Washington, the heroic general, the high-minded citizen, the founder of modern freedom, the land of Solon, Themistocles and Pericles, the birthplace of ancient freedom, dedicates this old marble as a sign of reverence and admiration.'”

was set up with appropriate ceremonies, on the 6th of September, when a great assemblage was present. The monument is some twenty feet high and is very beautiful. It cost $2,500, every penny of which was contributed by deaf mutes. Addresses were delivered by Professor Clere, the Hon. Henry C. Deming, Mayor of the city, Professor Gamage, the Rev. Mr. Gallaudet of New York, Mr. Brown of New Hampshire, and the IIon. Henry Dutton, Governor of the State.
