PROFESSIONAL YEARS OF BISHOP HOBART. It is our intention in a subsequent number to devote to this recent and interesting volume that needful time and space which we cannot now command. The Professional Years' is a sequel to the 'Early Years' of this loved and gifted prelate, and is from the pen of a ripe scholar and able writerJOHN MCVICKAR, D. D., — in all respects an appropriate biographer of such an ecclesiastic and man as was Bishop HOBART. If the publication of the 'Closing Years' is to depend alone upon the favorable reception of the work before us, the author will, we confidently predict, be ere long called upon to redeem his tacit pledge to the public.

FRANCIS' TRANSLATION OF HORACE.-These volumes make numbers eighteen and nineteen of Harpers' Classical Family Library, and contain a translation of Horace which, by common consent, is allowed to be the best in the English language, together with many imitations and translations of particular odes and satires, by different eminent individuals. Although the peculiar charm of Horace evaporates more in the translation than that of almost any other author, it has been preserved to a certain extent in the imitations and free versions to which we have referred, and we think the work of Francis much improved by their insertion. The enterprise of the BROTHERS HARPER, in thus supplying the community with useful works at an extremely low rate, cannot be too much lauded.

POPERY. Mr. JOHN S. TAYLOR has published 'Thoughts on Popery: by Rev. WILLIAM NEVINS, D.D., late pastor of a church in Baltimore.' A glance through the book shows us that it is written with spirit, and that the author has taken the advice of the apostle, and 'used all plainness of speech' in the discussion of his various divisions of subject matter.

COX ON THE BOOK OF DANIEL.-C. C. P. CROSBY, Clinton Hall, has published in a neat volume 'Outlines of Lectures on the Book of Daniel. By the Rev. F. A. Cox, D. D., LL. D.' It is the first American edition of a work which has acquired reputation in England, but which we have not as yet found leisure to peruse.

BULWER'S WORKS. - 'Paul Clifford' forms the fourth number of HARPERS' new and enlarged edition of Bulwer's novels. Its externals and typography are of the same excellence which has characterized the precedent volumes of the series. We cannot say as much for the engravings, which are blurred and indistinct.

AMERICAN CORRESPONDENTS ABROAD. — DR. RUSCHENBERGER, author of Three years in the Pacific,' who sailed eleven months since from the United States in the sloop-ofwar Peacock, (from which vessel, until recently, no intelligence had been received,) was at Bombay on the 24th of October, on the eve of pursuing his voyage. He has commenced a second work for the press, to embrace the events of his present interesting expedition. We hope soon to be enabled to present our readers with some of his promised sketches. PROFESSOR LONGFELLOW has passed the winter at Heidelberg, on the Neckar. Indisposition, and domestic affliction in the loss of his amiable and accomplished lady, at Rotterdam, have prevented his appearance in our pages since leaving America. From these gentlemen, as well as from Mr BROOKs, and our correspondent G. W. GREENE, Esq., now in Italy, we have good reason to anticipate valuable as well as seasonable aid. Many of our readers will be gratified to learn, that we have the like prospect in regard to the Rev. Dr. HAWKS, who has but recently sailed for Europe.
