Prof. LEWIS, of Union College, has published an Address delivered there some months since, in which he reviews with great ability the theories and schemes so abundant at the present day, of which Nature, Progress, and Ideas are the common watchwords. He treats them all as branches of _Naturalism_ and as in direct hostility to the Scriptural doctrine of the Divine government. The discourse is marked by the scholarship, vigor, and clear analysis which characterize all the productions of this distinguished writer.--Bishop HUGHES has also entered the lists against the prevalent Socialism of the day; not, however, in an original work but by causing to be reprinted the French work of the Abbe Martinet, entitled "Religion in Society," and by writing an introduction to it.--A new book on _California_, by Rev. WALTER COLTON, is soon to be issued. Even in the multiplicity of books upon this subject that have recently been given to the public, one from Mr. Colton's pen can hardly fail to attract and reward attention.--A work on the _Logic and Utility of Mathematics_, by Prof. DAVIES, is announced by Barnes & Co. Prof. D. is singularly happy in presenting mathematical truth clearly and attractively to the mind, and we anticipate, in this new work upon the characteristic advantages of his favorite studies, a production that will be widely useful, in promoting juster views of Education and better modes for its successful prosecution.--Prof. BARTLETT of the West Point Academy, announces a new work on _Natural Philosophy_, for the use of Colleges, which will be of value.--Mr. E. D. MANSFIELD of Cincinnati, a clear, strong and judicious writer, has also in press, a Treatise on _American Education_, which will be pretty certain to contain a good many practical suggestions worthy of attention.--The Reader of the opening article in this number of the New Monthly Magazine, will be glad to learn that an edition of the writings of DE QUINCEY is soon to be issued from the Boston press of Ticknor, Reed and Fields. No living English writer equals De Quincey in his peculiar department; in acute analytical power, and in the precision with which he uses language. He does not write for the masses--but to literary men, persons of cultivated taste and a critical habit, an edition of his Essays and multifarious sketches will be exceedingly acceptable. We presume, however, that nothing like a complete collection of his writings can be made.--An illustrated Edition of LONGFELLOW'S _Evangeline_ is also announced, and a new volume of Poems by JOHN G. WHITTIER, one of the most vigorous and masculine of living poets. Like other poets of the day, Mr. Whittier addicts himself somewhat overmuch to hobbies, and his present volume is to be mainly made up of Poems upon Labor.--LOWELL, also, has a new Poem in press, called _The Nooning_.--A new volume by Rev. HENRY GILES, entitled _Christian Thoughts on Life_, is announced. Mr.
