LELAND, so well known as one of the most learned of our German
scholars, has made a specialty of the character known in this country
as a "Dutchman." The little volume under notice, which has been very
tastefully set forth by Messrs. PETERSON, contains much amusing matter,
couched in that queer compound of German and English in the manufacture
of which Mr. LELAND excels.

We are indebted to Messrs. GURNEY & SON for a number of photographs of
public characters, executed in the best manner of the art. The "mugs"
issued by Messrs. GURNEY are quite equal, if not superior, to that most
celebrated of all mugs, the "Holy Grail."
CONDENSED CONGRESS.
SENATE.
[Illustration with letter 'A']
Action in Congress has not been very lively of late. It is Lent; and the
exhilarating sort of entertainment provided by the "high requiem" of
a SUMNER, or the wild warbling of a DRAKE, is considered to be
unseasonable. The Senate is not a faster, though Senator SUMMER'S tongue
goes faster than any body else's in it; nor yet a prayer, though Senator
YATES is undeniably Prairie in his oratory; but it is a humiliation.
