In
point of fact, MOTLEY has deserted his colors, and, as a diplomat, is by
no means up to the American Standard. As it is clear he cannot maintain
the _prestige_ of the Star Spangled Banner abroad, we call upon the
Government to give him Hail Columbia, and order him home.

BOOK NOTICES.
IN SPAIN AND A VISIT TO PORTUGAL. By HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN. New-York:
HURD & HOUGHTON.
A good summer book of nearly three hundred pages. As usual, ANDERSEN is
not abstruse in his way of putting things. His narrative is adapted
alike for the juvenile mind and for the adult. There is no periphrasis
in it.
