GOOD OUT OF EVIL.--'Selections from the Court Reports, originally published in the BOSTON MORNING POST, from 1834 to 1837. Arranged and Revised by the Reporter of the Post.'--The writer of this work is surely chief of the _adepti_ in his art, for art it is. He is a prëeminent 'dab' at his business; uniting grace of composition with a keen sense of the humorous, and the reflections of a heart open to the influence of generous emotions, and full of sympathy for the unfortunates, whose abandonment to temptation he records. As contrasting examples of pathos and fun, we would instance the picture of maternal affection, in the story of the three juvenile book-thieves, and the cool knavery of the _omnium-gatherum_ varlet, whose systematic pilferings were directed by a written programme, as: 'Visit Bailey's Female High School--_scrutinize_;' 'Get books from library--_valuable_;' 'Go to the theatre--_once_;' 'Go to the Museum, night and day; _criticise, and get every thing I can_;' 'Visit Horticultural Rooms--_and get things_;' 'Get some pocket-handkerchiefs--_gratis_,' etc. These 'Selections' will amuse a dull hour passing well. The reader will find the book fruitful of fun or instruction, open it wheresoever he may. Boston: OTIS, BROADERS AND COMPANY. 'THE ARETHUSA.'--Such is the title of a naval story, in two volumes, by Captain CHAMIER, R. N., author of 'Ben Brace,' 'Life of a Sailor,' etc. In our judgment, it is his best work. If not as a whole, certainly in particular scenes it has not been surpassed by any previous effort of the author. The wreck of the Tribune, the naval warfare, the pestilence at Jamaica, and many other detached scenes, which might be mentioned, are most vividly portrayed. We would counsel Captain Chamier, however, not to meddle with character of which he knows nothing more than may be conveyed in the terms, 'I reckon,' 'I guess,' and 'I calculate,' in endless iteration. His 'Corncob' is an imaginary anomaly, and has no counterpart in America. Philadelphia; E. L. CAREY AND A. HART. New-York: WILEY AND PUTNAM. 'REVIEWERS REVIEWED:'--BY THE AUTHOR OF 'PELAYO.'--This is a little volume of seventy-two pages--dedication, introduction, argument, text, notes, and appendix, all counted--and is facetiously denominated by the young lady-author a 'Satire.' The editors of the 'Courier,' 'Gazette,' 'Commercial,' and 'Mirror' journals, together with the KNICKERBOCKER, are the victims--because they could not admire 'Pelayo.' For our own poor part, the force of the attack has stunned us. We know not what to say. Also, we wist not what to do. 'Where,' (to adopt the kindred language of our fair satirist's illustrious archetype, 'Rosa Matilda,') 'Where is Cupid's crimson motion? Billowy ecstacy of wo! Bear us safe, meandering ocean, Where the stagnant torrents flow!'
