Christian Andersen, whose works are almost as well known in England as in his own country, has now come forward as an English writer. His new fiction, " The Two Baronesses," makes its first appearance in the English language—composed in the English language by its Danish author. The following frag ment of the dedicatory epistle of " The Two Baronesses " conveys a graceful and grateful expres sion of its author's sentiments towards England and the English. These remarks are addressed to Mr. Bentley, the publisher of all Andersen's works, to whom as an appropriate mark of grateful friendship " The Two Baronesses" is dedicated. Speaking of England and Scotland in this dedication, Christian Andersen remarks— " I knew and loved those countries before my feet trod them. With Marryatt's Jacob Faithful,' I had long before sailed up the Thames; by Dickens I was led into London's narrow lares, and I listened to the throbbing hearts there; and in ' Night and Morning' Bulwer opened to my gaze the rich landscape, with its towns, its churches, and its villages. " I was at home on Scotland's mountains, and familiar with its deep lakes, lonely paths, and ancient castes. Walter Scott's genius had wafted me thither; Walter Scott's beneficent hand had extended to me the spiritual bread and wine, so that I forgot the earthly. "I was intimate with Shakspere's land and Burns' mountains before my corporal eye beheld them; and when at length I visited them, I was not received as a stranger. Kind eyes regarded me—friends extended the hand to me. Elevated and humbled at the same time by so much happiness, my heart swelled with gratitude to God. My next thanks are to the dear friends I pos sess in your great nation, and amongst them, to you, my friend, as one of the first. To you, who adopted my first romance, I here present my latest. "It is not Italy's beauty, and ; the manners and cus toms of her people which are here depicted: it is Danish nature the life of the world around me in the land wherein I live. May it preserve the affection of my friends!" The author's wish is likely to be realised. The "Two Baronesses" is well calculated to maintain the good opinion of Andersen's admirers, and sustain his lite rary reputation, but we cannot think it in anywise likely to enhance it. It is with extreme reluctance we pronounce this questionable commendation, for Andersen is one of our especial favourites. We ap preciate to the uttermost the exquisite simplicity, the genuine pathos, and the natural humour whiCh abound in his writings, and which constitute their pe culiar charm. The following very truthful remark which occurs in the " Two Baronesses" may be very correctly applied to its own author : " A novel that contains only events is read but once; the unexpected, the surprising, which was the life and soul of it, is departed, dead after perusal; on the con trary, where the human character appears forcibly and naturally drawn, where thought exists in living words, where poetry has its imperishable growth,—to such a work we return again and again; t hat book is read and re-read; one comes from it refreshed, as from a ramble in the woods in spring.' narratives—is " Seitwith t o h n e e b e e o s r e portions of An 's nre d fr e e r s s n e n o d ' s natural as f r om a ramble in the woods in spring." But, if excess of virtue be a vice in morality, in literature every at traction of style may become degenerated into a blemish, and so it happens with Andersen's simplicity —it occasionally dwindles into baldness of style and puerility of sentiment. It is because this is unfortu; nately too often the case in the " Two Bar onesses, that we are inclined to think this novel, notwith standing its numerous attractions, will not enhance its author's celebrity. It is true the action abounds with beauties, and we might very conscientiously pass over its defects, and pronounce only a favourable opinion of it; with an ordinary author we might, perhaps, adopt such a course, but with one like An dersen we must act otherwise. We should be loth to see him spoiled by too much commendation, and, therefore, admiring him as we do, we tell him candidly he must not be satisfied to rest on the reputation he has already gained he must increase it or it will decrease. The sorrows of genius are proverbial, but perhaps without the sorrows the genius would be little worth ; neglect, unmerited neglect, acts as a stimulus to the really great, whereas, " Approbation too profuse Wakes vanity to tame the Muse." Had the " Hours of Idleness" been greeted with universal applause perhaps " Childe Harold" had never been written. Andersen himself, in his youth, experienced all the hardships and anxieties of author ship, but his genius eventually was recognised, his simple pathos, his exquisite naturalness touched the hearts of the many, and those hearts became his own —for he is one of those writers whom we love rather than admire. Andersen is now a popular writer, and therefore it is that we are anxious to caution him against a fatal error into which some of our most popular writers have been betrayed. For example, there is one celebrated author and one celebrated authoress whom we could mention who having earned a wide-spread popularity by the excellence of their earlier writings, seem to consider they have done enough for fame, and now (it is to be presumed) only write for money —they write multa and not multum—they write works which, coming from other hands, would only meet with contempt, but which coming from them are read, for they have "a name," and are admired, it being in some circles the fashion to admire them. This is a fact too well known to be for a moment contested, and it is a course of proceeding which greatly dete riorates the character of our literature, and lowers the taste of general readers. Knowing this, and fully conscious of its bad effects, we are anxious to msrkeveryindication of similar conduct in our popular writers, and when, as in the ,case of Andersen, we detect incipient symptoms of such a falling off, we are unscrupulous in denouncing them. Having said thus much of our opinion of Andersen's being inclined to rest on his oars, as is evidenced in the " Two Baro nesaes,"..we will now turn our consideration to the mee2Erol: ui - i as sembled augment IIoYA L the A strengthie Tt n o ; Mauritius,battalion,ord Captain Low's company , .thWe RoyalooLw r A cii rtill N er addi tional company in the company, Bth battalion, u 7 n th der to-morrow d for Irela nd, orders ra sn tod under cleaps .the orders gar rison to a t in a n ea r l heavyy mman homes dant's inspection.

Major Ilennis's company, recently returned from Jersey, took over the horses, stores, and batteries, va cated by Captain tllis's company, at one o'clock to day, and the latter leave for Ireland at three o'clock to morrow morning, to relieve Captain Tulloh's company, Ist battalion, under orders to return from Dublin to head-quarters, being second on the roster for foreign service. The head-quarters detachment of Captain Poole's company left Woolwich on Thursday last, in ono of the Hull steamers, for conveyance to Hull, and two other detachments of the same company left for London on Saturday to proceed by railway to Tynemouth and Carlisle. Lieutenant Hambley commands the detach ment at Tynemouth, and Captain Mackay, on his return o'clockh i u n t t he inoactrno -ted..rGa ylfrtoharie gt shupnyoieatrdvarc'oidnwnoT. from Kingston, Canada, on promotion, will proceed to Carlisle to take the command of the Royal Artillery stationed there. It is stated that three additional bat tulions will be added to the Royal Artillery in April next, or as soon as the necessary arrangements can be ef fected for their organization, and every means are in con templation for rende rin g this branch of the service effi cient for the duties it has to perform.

These are chiefly a repetition of the regulations already published, with respect to medical aid being pro vided by the parochial authorities, the erection of hos pitals, places of refuge for the friends of those attacked, and the adoption of other precautionary measures; and it is ordered by the Board that " these special orders and regulations shall hereafter take effect, without further notification, in all places forthwith, upo n t h e actual occurrence of cases of cholera." In all cases, however, in which the orders are acted upon, immediate notice of the fact must be sent to the Board of Health, and the medical officers are required to notify from time to time the progress of the epidemic in their respective districts.

Notwithstanding the arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week, coastwise as well as by land car riage and samples, have been on a very moderate scale, the demand for that di , seription of grain this morning was in a very inactive state, at Monday's depression in the quotations. At the close of business a total clear ance of the supply had not been effected. Upwards of 9,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand since Saturday. Selected parcels of both red and white moved off slowly, at about stationary prices. In the middling and interior kinds scarcely any business was transacted. We were scantily supplied with Barley, all kinds of which ruled very dull; but we hav e no f urt h er reduction to notice in value. For Malt there was scarcely any inquiry at late rates. The Oat trade was in a very depressed state, and prices were with difficulty supported. In all other kinds of Grain, including Flour, so little was doing that prices were almost nominal.

No part of these works will be undertaken without the pre vious sanction of the proprietors ; a pledge to this effect was given at the last half-yearly meeting. The Leicester and Nuneaton Railway Act contains powers for the London and North-Western and Midland Companies to purchase the railway, either together or separately ; the directors are of opinion that it ought to be wholly in the hands of this company, and they have so agreed with the London and North-Western Company, subject to the sanc tion of the shareholders. Although the Act contains powers to raise 360,0001., the line from Leicester to Nuneaton is esti mated to coat only 250,0001. No. 7.—SUMMARY Or CAPITAL TO BE PROVIDED BY THE COMPANY.

In looking at the futfwe prospects of the company as to di vidends, the directors gillathe following facts for the guidance of the shareholders:— ' The average receipt per mile per annum for the year ending ...June 30, 1844 was £2,426 ft ~ tt „ 1845 „ 2,948 tf ~ ft „ 1846 „ 3,391 ~ ~ ~ f f f 1847 „ 2,704 f „ 1848 The estimated average receipt per mile per annum re quired to pay 6 per cent., when the works under contract are completed and paid for, is about 2,8501. In considering the probability of an increase of 230/. per mile per annum, as compared with the average mileage re. ceipt of the year ending June 30, 1848, it is necessary to bear in mind that more than 153 miles of railway have been opened by this company since Midsummer, 1846, and a con siderable portion within a few months only ; that the traffic of a district is not thrown all at once upon a railway, but that it requires some years for its development; that the traffic of this railway has suffered severely from the depres sion which has been felt in all departments of commerce; that it has also suffered from the abstraction of trafic,, caused by the opening of the Trent Valley, Caledonian, Great Northern, and other lines; but it is hoped that a general re vival in trade and the opening of the East Lancashire Rail way to Colne ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, from New Holland and Great Grimsby to Lincoln; the Mat lock and Midland to Ambergate, and the south Stafford shire Junction with the Birmingham and Derby—all of which are within a few months of completion—will enable the company to realise the above increase. By order of the board of directors, Derby, Nov. 17, 1848. J. F. BELL, Secretary. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 21.—Further errors in the case of Mr. S. O'Brien were, by leave, handed in yesterday on his behalf by Mr. Fitzgerald, one of his counsel. The argu ment in this case comes on to .day. The case will be argued on the part of Mr. O'Brien by Mr. Fitzgerald and Ur. Whiteside, Q.C., and on the part of the Crown by the Attorney-General and Mr. D. Lynch. The death of Mr. Bourne, which was rumoured yes terday morning, is very confidently asserted in the halls to day; and it is said that Mr. Peirce Mahony is likely to be his successor. The library of Conciliation Hall, which was sold last week, pursuant to advertisement, and which contained some valuable works on Irish history, had realised about 5001. There are 8,000 paupers on the outdoor and work house relief in Skibbereen. ACCIDENT TO THE HIBERNIA STEAMER. During the severe gale, at one o'clock this morning, the Chester and Holyhead Company's new and very fine steamer, Hibernia, on entering Kin gs t own h arbour, suffered considerable injury. It appears that a sailing vessel was coming in at the same time, and the Hi bernia, in order to avoid a collision with her, went so close to the eastern pier, that she struck with violence against it, displacing some of the large stones, and damaged her bow, and otherwise injured the fore part of the vessel. The passengers, &c., were landed without the slightest inconvenience; but the Hibernia remains fast on the pier. However, it is expected that she will be got off at high water, and that no great damage will have been done. Those packets of the Chester and Holyhead Company sail with great regularity, and are managed exceedingly well. The Cambria now lies in the harbour of Kingstown, and will take this dispatch at half-past eight this morning. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL STEEPLE-CHASES. LIVERPOOL, TIIESDA Y NIGHT.

JAMES DELANEY ♦ND ♦ NovlcE.—About 400 ad mirers of pedestrianism met yesterday on the New North Road, Holloway, to witness the race of 100 yards for 21., between these men. Shortly after two they made their appearance at the scratch. Much less time than usual being wasted in preparing, they both got off, the novice with a lead of one yard, which he improved, and at 40 yards was two in advance. Delaney here got up the steam, caught his man, and ran in a winner by one yard. Betting 7 to 4 and 2 to 1 on the novice. We are glad to learn that a new novel from the pen of Mn.s Gore is announced for immediate publication.
