M. JULES LECHEVALIER, known in this country chiefly as one of the foreign
Correspondents of _The Tribune_, but in Europe as an able writer on the
Social Sciences, has recently delivered in Paris and Berlin, and in
London, (where he is residing as a political exile,) a series of
lectures, which will soon be given to the world in a volume, upon the
subject of his favorite studies. M. Lechevalier's system, which he
denominates "New Political Economy," is based upon the principle of
association, in opposition to that of competition and _laissez-faire_,
which constitute the groundwork of the school of the present political
economists. In the course of his series he pointed out the gradual
tendency of the competitive principle to produce extremes of riches and
poverty, and ultimately revolutions, and maintained, that by the adoption
of the associative principle alone, society can be preserved from
confusion and destruction. He contends that the new political economy,
or _Socialism_, is essentially Conservative, while the present system of
unlimited competition, or buying cheap and selling dear, is destructive,
M. Lechevalier pretends to base his system on the moral principles of
Christ, and maintains that Christianity cannot be practically carried out
in any other way. His lectures abound in examples of the working of the
two opposing systems.

The Doctrinal Tract and Book Society, Boston, are going forward in the
work of re-publishing the old standard works of the New-England theology.
They have issued a fine edition of Bellamy and have procured an edition
of Edwards the younger. They are now about commencing the stereotyping of
Catlin's Compendium, and the whole works of Dr. Hopkins. We wish they
would go back a century further, and give us the best works of Mather and
his contemporaries.

There is a political novel by OTTO MULLER, of Manheim, announced, under
the title _Georg Volker: ein Vreiheits Roman_, which is said to give a
faithful picture of the Baden revolution, and to open with the rise of
the peasantry in the _Ottenwald_.
