We have received from Mr. Pomekoy of this city, copies of the two following works, lately issued from the press of Dewitt and Davenport, publishers, New York. . i. . " Father Gavazzi's Lectures in New York, report ed in full" by T. C. Lti ind, Phonographer ; also the Life of Fathek Gavazzi, corrected and authorized by himself, &c." This book is well executed so far as the cheap form given to it would allow, and its appearance corres ponds very we'd withlts popular character. It is cm ' phatica'.ly a book for the people, and is destined, we doubt not, to an extensive circulation. The Life of Gavazzi, which forms about one-third of the volume, is altoge'.her unworthy of its subject; but the lectures are the characteristic proiucuons of the eccentric or ator himself, and cimnot fail to entertain, instruct, and electrify the "reader as he hangs - spell-bound over the rirps that contain them. We regard this remarka ble man 8 n-oHjee Ut-ho wot.aerJ , if not admir eda great original, independent mind, evolved from the diaos of, Italian revolutions. What he is or is to be, we cannot conjecture. His chosen mission would seem, to be to hu? like Sampson the pillars of the Papacy and hurl it into ruin. His intellectual force, hisi. heroic courage, and his perfect isolation, render him a host in himself, and have made him the most formidable antagonist of Rome. The lectures are characterized by a bold and peculiar eloquence, and a manly independence which will gain for him many admirers. They are rather too discursive, and exhibit considerable egotism, but his enthusiasm for Italian regeneration will generally cause the reader to for get his faults and sympathize with his sentiments. Without endorsing the book, we recommend it to the reader as one of the most attractive we have met with, and one widen, v&T hope will tend greatly to advance ' the cause 'of popular liberty throughout the world. .

A question for the decision of the courts, under the copyright law, is likely . to arise out of the . publication in Harper's Magazine, for September, of a tale entitled " Uncle Bernard's Story," which originally appeared in Putnam's Magazine. From there it was copied into Eliza Cook's Journal, an English publication, and then reproduced by the Harpers, who had over looked the source from whence it was-taken. Put nam's periodical is copyrighted, and the publishers, claim that the transfer of .the story to the columns of Harper's Magazine is a violation of their copy right, and have applied for an injunction to prevent the Messrs. Harper from selling the September number of their magazine. j This action, if pursued, will bring up the ques tion whether the copyright o ? whole masrazine will protect the indmJaat--&nicle. separately. Although there has been no intentional violation of the 'copyright law by the Messrs. Harper, yet if these proceedings are decided against: them, the .Umflaea wiil amount to a very large sum. The penalty for a violation of the law is fifty cents for each and every copy of the copyrighted publication illegally issued. The publishers of Harper's Maga zine claim a circulation of one hundred and twenty five thousand copies, which would make the pen alty $62,500 oue half of which would go. to the Government, and the oilier nalt to tne jpuonsners aggrieved.
