HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. THIS PAY.—Morning, 11h. 23m.—Midnight. To-Monr.ow.-Morning, Oh. Om.—Afternoon, Oh. 331 n r37:' 64-'4'417 C -4 \-±",...• LONDON, TVEDNESDAY, FEB. 19, 1868. We feel assured that the public will learn with great satisfaction the news of Lord DERBY'S im provement. The last news from Knowsley are, indeed, surprisingly good, considering the alarming condition of the noble lord on Sunday night. We learn by telegraph that the bulletin issued last even- ing by the doctors in attendance stated that his lordship continued to improve in a " very satisfac tory degree." We may, therefore, reasonably hope that the worst of the attack is now over, and that with time and care the noble earl may be restored to health and strength. The sad intelligence of the critical state of Lord DERBY'S health caused great alarm among his friends in London, and, indeed, spread a gloom over all circles. Perhaps there never was a statesman who more thoroughly commanded the respect of all men than the noble lord now at the head of her MAJESTY'S Govern ment, and he possesses those high feelings of honour and that independence of spirit which are always looked upon as particularly characteristic of Eng lishmen. It is always a feature of our political life that when misfortune and losses assail our men of mark the bitterness of antagonism is put away, and the fierce discussions of party strife are cast into the shade. The higher and better feelings of our nature rise superior to the more paltry and trivial ones which concern self interest, even if that interest brought one to the fulfilment of exalted services to the country and the realisation of a noble ambition. But we would go further, and indulge in the confident belief that the sentiment extends still further, and goes yet beyond the moment of excitement and the day of trial and emergency, and that those who yesterday grieved at the sad condition of the noble lord will to-day re joice at his improved state, and would to-morrow hail the intelligence of his chance of complete re storation. Should it please Providence to permit the noble earl to return to the duties of his exalted position he will be warmly welcomed by all those with whom he mixes in public life and political duties, and the country at large would vie with them in feelings of gratification. By his own party Lord DERBY has been justly appreciated, and the confidence he has always met with, and the devo tion which he has inspired during the darkest days of defeat and depression, have exhibited a marked contrast to the manner in which some other political leaders have been treated by their followers. • Without passing any disparaging remarks upon , others, we may be permitted to say that no man ever deserved their confidence more than Lord DERBY has always done, for he has at all times been sincere and straightforward, and has always ranked the claims of justice and the considerations of honour above the more immediate gains of the moment and the inducements of power and in fluence. It is peculiarly unfortunate that Lord DERBY'S health should be in so critical a state at a time when he is of so much service to his Sovereign and his country ; but it is doubly distressing when we consider that it has been in a great measure brought about by the sacrifice be made in assuming the Premiership. It is well known that the noble earl did so because he felt that the emergency was great, and that his duty to the Crown and the country no less than his responsibility to his party demanded it of him. It is premature to talk de finitively of other arrangements now, but it is evident that the Government could now do better without Lord DERBY than it could have at a previous time. Had he relinquished the onerous duties of office last year at this time the Reform Bill could never have been car ried, but there is now no such anxious and exciting project before Parliament. These things are, however, to be left to the consi deration of a future day; and we trust that, amid the changes so constantly arising among us, it will be long before it ever become the practice among us to speculate upon the results that may follow upon the retirement of a leading statesman, and still more upon the consequences that may ensue from his death. We should act more in accordance with good taste and right feeling if we content our selves with taking things as we find them, instead of wandering away to reason and augur upon events which may not take place for a long time to come. The lives of our leading states men always attract a great share of public notice and attention, and the family and friends of Lord DERBY may feel convinced that they have many to sympathise with them ; and that not only those of his own immediate circle, but the community at large, will rejoice to hear of the improvement of his health; and while there is nothing in his career that one could wish forgotten at a time like this, they will lose the thouget •of political aspe rity, and only remember his devotion to his country and his upright career as a statesman, and his high and honourable reputation as a Minister. It is true, that nothing the noble earl can do could increase his fame, or add lustre to his distinguished career ; but we, in common with his contemporaries and the public, cannot but feel that we can ill afford to lose his services ; and whether at the head of the Government, or only in his private capacity, the House of Lords will cherish the hope of retaining among its members one who has been for long years its most distinguished orna ment, the pride of the aristocracy, because he has shown of what excellence it is capable, and to what lofty heights it may attain. The answer which Sir STAFFORD NORTEICOTE last night returned to Mr. FAwcErr's questions respect ing the fortunes of our Abyssinian expedition give forcible evidence of the manner in which rumour is apt to outrun truth. Had the unfavourable re ports which have lately reached us been circulated during the recess there would have been no means of testing their accuracy, and they would have re mained uncontradicted, causing much anxiety and apprehension to those directly connected with the expeditionary force, and exciting general uneasiness and dissatistaction. Happily we are in the midst of the Parliamentary Session, and Mr. FAWCETT'S inquiries have elicited a statement of the true posi tion of affairs from the Secretary for India, which is altogether different from the news we have been hearing. There has been from the first a party in this country who, whether from dislike to war under anp circumstances, antipathy to increased taxes, or a desire to prejudice the movements of the Govern ment, have studiously taken the most dismal view of the expedition and all its belongings. The climate, we were told, was fatal to Europeans, and when this was disproved by the health of the captives under most trying circumstances, we heard that the scarcity of provisions and lack of water would effectually bar the progress of an invading army. Then we were assured that the Abyssinians were so much afraid of their tyrant that they would certainly oppose us most strenuously at his biddin g , an assertion which has been completely disproved. Besides all this, most alarming accounts were in circulation respecting the Guinea worm, the Isetse fly, and other intangible but deadly ene mies, which lay in wait for mau and beast on the dreaded plains of Abyssinia. The mortality among the mules and horses has unfortunately been very great since the landing of our troops, but with this the Isetse fly has nothing to do. As for our men they have enjoyed excellent health, and have found the climate to be neither oppressive nor injurious. Sir S. NORTHCOTE being less informed than the croakers has heard nothing of the scarcity of water, and Sir R. NAPIER is eaually ignorant. The THE SUN, LONDON", WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 19, 1868. last c pmmunications which the Secretary for India r eedi ed from Sir ROBERT NAPIER were dated the nd 25th of January. In the first of these he s ap the total amount of water daily condensed by th e two fixed condensers and by the vessels in harbo ur amounts to one hundred and sixty tons. Of those 120 tons are daily placed on shore, which affo. Nis a copious supply for all the troops, fol lowe ts, and animals at present at Zulla. The letter of t . hi 25th, dated from Zoomayloo, goes into furtb en details, and is even more reasoning. " This place„"' writes Sir R. NAPIER, " is one of great im portm ce to us ; it has the first good water. The wells ;are in the bed of a river, the water excellent and ph mtiful, requiring only the means of pumping it out.. I think there is little doubt that this should be our supply for Zulla, having the convenience of the railway to bring out the piping, and the con venien reof the pipes to supply water for the engines." It is a very important question. The human con sumers of water at Zulla by the last estimate amounted to 11,500, and a failing of water would be something not to be thought of without anxiety. Of course as long as we have our condensers at work we are sure of a general supply, but if a bad gale came the ships might be out of gear for a time. The wells at Zoomayloo will be a most valuable source of supply, and will not be subject to the influences which might affect the con densers. So far as the Government has yet received information, there has been no lack of water. On the contrary, all official accounts have showed that the supply was abundant. So much then for one great danger. Another subject of anxiety to the British taxpayer has been the monthly cost of freight which has been estimated at something like £400,000. Sir STAF FORD NORTHCOTE could give no exact information on this point, not having received the details he wished for from Bombay, but from what he knew he believed the amount would be much less. As for THEODORE'S arrival at Magdala, it is possible, like many other things, but entirely uncertain. The movements of the Egyptians, like other in cidents, have been greatly exaggerated. So far from a formidable body of Egyptian troops having entered Abyssinia simultaneously with Sir ROBERT NAPIER'S advance, the VICEROY has given orders for the recall of the solitary battalion which he had sent to Massowah. Lord STANLEY represented to to him that such a movement might be misunder stood by the Abyssinians, who might suppose that we were in alliance with their dreaded neighbours and rivals, and also that the advance of Egyptian troops would be very inconvenient to us, as they must naturally draw their supplies from the same sources. The VICEROY received these suggestions in the most friendly spirit, and while he assured Lord STANLEY that the number of men advancing to Massowah had been greatly exaggerated, he pro mised to recall them immediately. The ac counts of the large body of troops en tering Abyssinia independently of our force must therefore have originated in fact ; but, like other reports of the kind, they grow with time and repetition. It would be a little singular if the VICEROY, so soon after his visit to this country, should rashly provoke the power of England against himself, and we can scarcely suppose he would be so rash and so impolitic. Altogether the intelli- gence which Sir STAFFORD NORTIICOTE has received, and which he last night communicated to the House of Commons, is calculated to reassure the public mind, and to dissipate any anxiety which might have existed as to the present well-being and future prospects of our expeditionary force. LITERATURE. Lord Lytton's Fasays and Criticisms The Miscellaneous Works of Edward Bulwer, Lord Lytton. Three Vols. Richard Bentley. If there is one English author now living whose name may be regarded as, beyond all others, typi cal of English literature it is the author of these volumes. There are writers among his con temporaries who stand forth conspicuously as the representatives of their own chosen departments in that literature : several of them being men illustri ous by the splendour of their genius or by the variety of their achievements. Among novelists, for example, there is Charles Dickens. Among histo ria.ns there is George Grote. Among biographers there is John Forster. Goldsmith—Greece—and how many inimitable masterpieces of fiction from Pickwick to Copperfield, from the Christmas Carol to Great Expectations, afford evidence in each of these three familiar instances of the perfect accuracy of our assertions. Then, too, among our popular poets, among our popular dramatists, among our philosophic essayists, among our Parliamentary orators, other names might just as readily, as in the foregoing instances, be adduced. Yet, as comprehending within the scope of a single genius, within the compass of a single career, within the mastery of a single ambition, these, and to gether with these, a variety of other distinct and distinguished reputations, the name of Edward Bulwer, Lord Lytton, stands forth, among them all and above them all, without any rival or competitor whatsoever. As a writer of fiction he is our English Sir Walter Scott. As a philosophic thinker he is recognised, appreciated, and honoured beyond the boundaries of England, but especially far and wide throughout the great German Fatherland. As a Parliamentary orator, how is it that he was spoken of—and that, too, but very recently—by an orator no less accomplished himself than the Lord Chief Justice of England ? Why, in terms no less emphatic, in terms no less avowedly prophetic, than these : speaking of Lord Lytton's reputation as a statesman and orator of the highest order, but more especially of his reputation in the latter capacity-- " I venture to predict," said the Lord Chief Justice upon the occasion we are referring to, " that those speeches which in the great arena of political con flict, the British House of Commons, my noble friend has pronounced will remain as models of the highest and the noblest eloquence and of deep thought—such as should characterise the statesman and politician—clothed in the glowing and graceful language of which no man is a more complete mas ter." The enumeration, however, of a mere selection from among the masterpieces he has produced, in such variety and at the same time in such affluent abun dance, will more than j us tify us in claiming for him that distinctive pre-eminence which we have not hesitated to pronounce his by right, namely, that of being in his own person the typical representa tive of the whole mass of our living literature. As a Poet he has securely and nobly assutned his posi _ tion in the national Walhalla. As an Epic Poet by right of that "life of his life"—Dryden's dream deserved for his realization—his patriotic and chivalric celebration of " King Arthur." As a Poetic Satirist by right of tha " New . Ticaon." As a Lyrist by right of hour many ex. visite snatches of harmonious song —nn least charming among them, Nydia the blind girl's tender ditty about the flowers in " The Last Days of Pompeii." In his capacity as a Dramatist, again, the eminence he has long since won for himself is, to say the least of it, sufficiently conspicuous and assured. His is the most brilliant comedy of mo dern times—" Money." His the happiest achieve ment in the department of the historical drama— " Richelieu." His that most charming of romantic plays, that sweetest love story put into action and dialogue—" The Lady of Lyons." Reverting for a moment to a consideration of his larger and more comprehensive fame as a Novelist or Romancist—a character in which his celebrity is intensely and essentially that of Bulwer rather than of Lytton —how comprehensive and diversified have been the raids of his adventurous genius beyond the borderlands of Fable, beyond the boun daries of Dreamland, as a great Master of Fiction akin in the daring, the vividness, and the grasp of his itnagination, to the loftiest even among such dreamers of dreams, to Scott, to Vwon re putation lists often Le Sage, and to Boccaccio ! And here it is suffi ciently remarkable to notice, in regard to Bulwer as a upon Novelist, that he reputation.has in that Enteg ri nctPtalicei with vizor closed —disdaining the aid of the prestige appertaining to him by reason of his already recog nised achievements as an imaginative writer--he has Godolphin" had repeatedly won success anew upon the unassisted and isolated merits of this or that individual pro rdnuncttiohnrn. ug A h s ee a v f e a r s a h l e io d na it b in le ne no b v e e f l n , i before it was ackno 0/ - lodged. "The Cantons," again , appearing anony mously in Maga, there mastered the admiration of its first readers before its in the authorship wa s least suspected. Just as "The New Timon" some y ga ea in rs ed p th re e v e i a o r u n sl f y t ,haeupdub alifet,etrhwoanrgdh the Poet's identitys " King Arthur" all the while remained sedulously concealed. Or, as, in yet another instance, "The Lady of Lyons," had charmed the playgoers nightly for a whole week before the name of the successful playwright had been announced. What is still more remarkable, however, in regard to Lord Lytton's reputation in all his various and widely-contrasting characters, is the very simple and perfectly well-known fact that the progress of his career has been facilitated in no one instance by any adventitious aid towards the furthering of his or of its advance- meat. In other and plainer words, he has always stood from first to last altoge ther aloof from any and every literary clique or coterie. He has no reason to thank the literary critics of his own time in his own country. Elsewhere his genius and his achieve mants—his genius in all its phases, his achievements in their manifold diversity—have had full and gene- roux recognition. Elsewhere they have had this full and generous recognition—in France, in America, ,n Germany, more especially in Germany—not in England, not at least as a rule among the English critics, whether daily, woekly, monthly, or quar terly. Ile has no reason, we repeat, to thank them for having participated in any, even the smallest, way in the building up of his reputation. He has less reason, indeed, than any author now living to thank the critics of England for even civility in the consideration of his many rare and lofty merits. The singular, almost we had said an- tagonistic, attitude which the English critics have always thus assumed in regard to him, through- out his career, still remains however we may scrutinise it —as in a very great degree incomprehensible. It has been consisten`4, we should perhaps rather say persistently, main tained by them from first to last through the three principal epochs or divisions of his life, when he has been familiarly known and honoured among the general public as Author, Statesman, Orator—asPo at, Novelist, Dramatist—as Administrator, or Mau __ _ _ of-letters, now as Mr. Bulwer, now as Sir Edward, now as Lord Lytton. Whatever the reason of the an tagonism referred to—whether arising from any constitutional disdain on his part of anything having about it even the merest semblance of a conciliatory have been attribut a bl e i n it s origin advance, or to what ever e l se it may all this while has been f rom fi rs t t o l ast, a f ac t sufficiently uu gin—there the fact generous so far as the critics themselves are con- cerned and by the author himself (it must even be allowed by them) a lt oge th er unprovo ked. It is a fact, however, so far of value that it establigies be- yond the possibility of contradiction this truth— that a wide and itninense reputation may be firmly established and long maintained quite irresPec- Avely of professional criticism, we would oven B ►Y .n absolute defiance of its pertinacious and implac- able antagonism. No author has had so many editions during his lifetime. None bas been read more widely or more eagerly. In the Tauchnitz re _ . . . . print of his writings, his books are thumbed and dogs-eared all over the Co n tinent. Music and Painting have offered the trib u t es o f their embellish- meat to his imaginings. But otherwise than in ,hese particulars, the public recognitions of the genius of Balwer as an Author and as an Orator, and of the duplex reputation he has won, here in the Senate, here in the World of Letters, have been TWO two sufficiently conspicuous, hoW ever, and sufficiently illustrious as it has happened. His nomination to a baronetcy by one Prime Minister (Lord Melbourne) at the time of her Majesty's Coronation ; his elevation to the peerage by another Prime Minister (Lord Derby) —both as tributes to his genius as an Author and as an Orator, to his achievements in Statesmanship and in Lite rature. As a Baronet in whom letters were honoured, Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer was gazetted simultaneously with Sir John Herschell as one in whom Science was honoured by the Government. As Lord Lytton, Bulwer entered the House of Peers fittingly and appropriately in the wake of his some time contemporary, Lord Macaulay. Numerous and considerable though his more important achievements have been in the building up of his many-sided reputation, it is especially noticeable in regard to Lord Lytton that there are several among his various productions which, while they have been merely subsidiary to the achieve ment of his general fame as a writer, when they come to be regarded separately and apart, seem to have been almost overlooked in their pecu liar excellence as isolated masterpieces —or if not overlooked seem to have been, at the least, over shadowed. Entirely apart from his other produc tions as a Poet, apart from his epic of " King Arthur," his satire of the " New Timon," his mis cellaneous Poems (published in a separate volume by Murray), his dramatic pieces (published by Rout ledge), including among them " The Duchess de la Valliere, " The Sea Captain," and " Not so Bad as we Seem"—apart from his masterly translations from Schiller, and his charming re-bodying forth of " The Lost Tales of Miletus"—there is that Poli tical Poem of " St. Stephens," which is in itself worthy of securing to any author, no matter whom, a distinct and separate reputation For, it is a masterpiece. Minor masterpieces there are which he has written and which " the world will not willingly let die"—radiant among them that, to our mind, loveliest among all his lesser poems, the one beginning— "l do confess that I have wished to give My land the gift of no ignoble name"— an aspiration which he has at least the consolation of knowing that he has long since and very nobly realised. Another of these minor masterpieces— one purely incidental of its kind—is that delight fully humoristic Apologue of the Dog, the Cat, and the Griffin, recounted in the " Pilgrims of the Rhine." There is, moreover, that finest Ghost Story surely that has ever yet been penned, " The Haunted and the Haunters," which may be found in the tenth volume of the " Tales from Blackwood," and which is not only the gem of that particular volume, but the gem of the whole collection. Books within books, too, he has with a curious felicity shadowed forth; and those, though each of them, as one may say, the veriest adumbration of a masterpiece, as such a masterpiece in the mere conception of it never theless. Instance this, that literary achievement of Leonard Fairfield in "My Novel"—a bijou book at once the envy and the despair of Randal Leslie. Instance this again, Mr. Austin Caxton's great work on "The History of Human Error," always pre paring for publication, but never yet completed. Besides the original edition of each of his works at the time of its first or separate publication, Lord Lytton's writings, as already remarked, have passed through an unusual variety of collective reprints. His Poems, for example, issued in five handsome volumes by the Messrs. Chapman and Hall, have also appeared in a single volume, at once cheaper, compacter, and more generally accessible, thanks to tha.enterprise of the Messrs. Routledge of London and New York. The latter publishers, again, have endeavoured by a series of what may with justice be called extraordinary adventures, to compete in the dissemination of the collected Novels, Tales, and Romances of Sir Edward Bulwer now Lord Lytton, with the beautiful Library Edition published in from forty to fifty yolurnes by the Messrs. Blackwood and Sons of Edinburgh and London—who have al most, one mi g h t say, assume d b y r i g ht th e position of publishers in ordinary to the Poet and Novelist to whom of late years 131ackwoods Magazine has been mainly indebted for the continuance of its pre-eminence %mong the monthly periodicals. Maga having been the medium through which were first introduced to public notice, besides the Translations of the Poems of Schiller, and the Parliamentary gallery of oratorical portraits sketched in poetry under the title of "St. Stephens," besides minor talcs, such as the "Haunted and the Haunters," and minor Poems, such as " The Boatman" (a poem worthy of Schiller himself) —the whole of the Caxton Essays, and, better than all, the whole series of the Caxton Novels, namely, " The Caxtons" "My Novel," and " What will he do with it ?" Com peting with the Messrs. Blackwood, as we have said, even under the so far depressing influence of the latter being placed upon a " coign of 'vantage" as the publishers of the choicest, that is, of the Library Edition of Lord Lytton's Novels and Romances—the Messrs. Routledge have, by the payment to the. noble author within these last fifteen years of the sum of thirty thousand pounds, secured to themselves during that interval the privilege of scattering those famous fic tions of his far and wide over both hemi- pheres, wherever the English language is spoken or read, in a succession of cheap editions, that seem at last to have fairly exhausted their ingenuity as caterers for the reading public in the shape of thoroughly good and yet readily accessible—in other words, wonderfully cheap—literature. Last year, for example, each work was published complete in itself for a shilling : while just now the whole set of novels is announced as having been reissued in a new form in eleven volumes of 800 pages each, price thirty shillings. And yet, notwithstanding all this multiplication of editions, separate and collective, cheap and costly, compact and volumi nous, there still remains one other, which, according to our notion, not only might, but ought to be issued from the press, if only as a crowning tribute to the industry and the diversity of the genius of a Great Author whose writings are in every way so remarkable. A Comprehensive Edition we mean of the whole of those writings of his, without exc3p tion, whether prose or poetical, whether dramatic or oratorical—an edition comprising within it the whole of his Poems, the whole of his Plays, all his Novels and Romances, all his reported Speeches in Parliament and out of Parliament, and together with these his numerous miscellaneous productions,includ ing among them even those of a more or less fugi- tive or seemingly ephemeral character. Such, let us say, as his Political Squib (about the Pike, the Perch, the Tench, the Dace, and the other occu pants of the fishpond) which, it may be remembered, was published some few years since in the columns of the Times, apropos to the then European " Situa tion." Or such, let us add, as his celebrated pamphlet of " The Crisis," a pamphlet that ran through an astonishing number of editions within a few weeks after its first appearance, and the trenchant arguments of which materially affected the balance of parties in the General Election immediately afterwards ensuing. A comprehen- sive edition of " The Works of Lord Lytton," such as we are here suggesting—not of his Poems merely, or of Ilia Novels and Romances, or of his Dramas, or of his Speeches—but of the whole of his varied and voluminous productions without excep tion, might, we would still further suggest, be even then considerably enhanced in interest and in general attraction by being profusely and appropriately illustrated with intermingled steel engravings and woo lcuts, after the fashion of the largest and most valuable edition of the various writings of Sir Walter Scott. In the embellishment of such a comprehensive edition as the one hero proposed, the principal book illustrators of our own time would beyond any doubt of it be proud to co-operate, just as the Stodarts, Leslies, and others of the pre ceding generation, were eager to take part in the pictorial adornment of the fancies, whether prose or poetic, of thatXizard of the North, the author of "Marmion" and of " Waverley." The pencillings of Millais and the etchings of George Cruikshank, the landscape vignettes of Birket Foster, and the character drawings of John Tenniel, might fittingly be combined with those of John Gilbert, and Charles Keene, and Harrison Weir, and of LATEST INTELL MENCE.

The Vienna papers publish an account of the dinner given by the King of Hanover yesterday in celebrating the 25th anniversary of his marriage. They state that in the toast his Majesty proposed he returned thanks to those who had come from a distance to be present at ,this family meeting held to show the intimate connection of the house of Guelph with the Hanoverian people. He entertained the conviction that he should return to Hanover as a free King. His ancestors bad been compelled to leave the country, but found upon their return a larger Guelpbic kingdom. Providence justified him in the belief that he too would go back to the country as a free and independent Sovereign. Hi s Majesty concluded with drinking prosperity to Hanover, and a speedy reunion in the land of the Guelphs. The dinner was attended exclusively by Hano verians. FRA: CE.

This interesting fact will, when fully known, oven further increase the demand for these Choke, long -approved Teas. They are not sold loose, but only in Packets. others whose names it would be needless to enume rate in the decoration of the letterpress, the at traction of the whole of this Illustrated Edition being yet further increased by the introduction, at appropriate intervals, of the better-known portraits of the author at different periods of his life—Cha lon's sketch, Count d'Orsay's profile of him, the noble likeness by Maclise, the admirably charac teristic one by Lane, and, to complete all, a well executed facsimile from the only satisfactory pho tograph of Lord Lytton as he now is, namely, one very recently produced by Mr. John Watkins, of Parliament-street, Westminster. By the aid, and only by the aid, of some such Comprehensive Edi, tion as this will any adequate notion bo ever afforded to the general public of the industry, of the originality, of the diversity, and of the curiously flexible adaptability of the genius of the Author and Statesman, of whom Sir Alexander Cock burn exclaimed, as recently as last November, " Since the commencement of his literary career what a series of triumphant successes my noble friend has achieved ! Poet, novelist, dramatist, thinker, critic, philosopher ; how much has he done to contribute to the delight and the instruction of the intellectual world in every department of thought I While, like a second Sheridan, passing beyond the bounds of that literary world in which he was destined to shine, he has added the reputa tion—the great, and deserved, and honourable re putation—of a statesman and orator of the highest order." If only as affording conclusive and re markable evidence of the extraordinary industry of his career, an edition of his works thus comprehen sive and all-embracing, would possess a singular interest of its own. But not alone would its records be demonstrative thus of industry of a very excep tional and almost unprecedented character—it would afford indications also of a rapidity of execu tion and of a fecundity of imaginative power still more remarkable of their kind : proofs, these latter, not so much of resolute intellectual application as of that %strum, or aflatus, which is universally regarded as the distinctive appanage or peculiar prerogative of those alone who are endowed with the supreme gift of genius. As demonstrative of which m ost rare and exceptional possession, what inci dent in an author's life could be regarded as having a more singular significance than the fact that within an interval of merely three weeks the whole of Lord Lytton's magnificent historical romance of " Harold" was produced ? A marvel in its way, if only regarded as a mere feat of pen man ship, but astonishing indeed when it is remembered that the three volumes thus composed by Lord Lytton, or, as he then was, by Sir Bulwer Lytton, within au interval of three weeks—a volume a week l--are in themselves, though ostensibly prose in the manner of them, a rhythmical poem of a very original character, both in conception and in exe cution. Hardly less extraordinary or less signifi cant in its way, is that other well-known incident in Lord Lytton's career as an author—that within a single fortnight the whole of the five-act play of " The Lady of Lyons" was conceived, composed, and completed. Achievements like these are only to be compared to feats of authorship in the past which are still looked back to with feelings of sheer amazement—as, for example, when it is borne in re membrance that within the very same interval as that within which Lord Lytton wrote his five-act play of " The Lady of Lyons," Lord Byron wrote his poem of " The Corsair," and that whereas, as we have seen, Sir Bulwer Lytton took merely three weeks within which to produce his romance of " Harold," it is related as an extraordinary circum stance in the biography of Sir Walter Scott that it took exactly double that interval, that is, not three weeks, but six weeks, within which he produced the whole of his three-volumed novel of " Guy Manner jug." Hardly less worthy of note here, again, as facts illustrative of the imaginative verve, so to speak, of Lord Lytton as a Romancist are, among others, these two which we are tempted at this moment to recall to public recollection in his regard, namely—that while writing at Rome his historical romance of " Rienzi : the Last of the Roman Tri bunes," happening to visit Naples and the disen - tombed cities iu the immeditte neighbourhood, under the shadow of Vesuvius, his im sginatioa was so captivated by a day-dream awakened in his fancy by that spectacle, that he interrupted those labours of his upon the theme of " Rienzi" until he had thrown off as a relief to his brain and heart his radian im Iginings of " The Llst Days of Pompeii." As a companion picture to which retrospective in- cident in Lord Lytton's caror as a It ornancist, we would here also recall to mind that other hardly less extraordinary circumstance related of him as a Novelist, that he was engaged simultane ously, that is, of course, turn by turn, in the production of two such wildly contrasting works of fiction—the one a ghastly record of Secret Crime, the other a bewitching and most fascinating delinea tion of Domestic Virtue--" The Cantons; a Family Picture," and " Lucretia ; or, The Children of Night" —here Austin, and Roland, and Blanche, and Pisistratus—here Lucretia Dalibard, the poisoner, and her evil associate and accomplice, Gabriel Var ney, otherwise known in the annals of infamy by his real name as Thomas Griffiths Wainewright— the " Janus Weathercock," of the once famous and popular London Magazine. Pending the time, how ever, for the issuing from the press of some such comprehensive edition as we have here already indicated of the whole of the various writings of Lord Lytton as Author and as Orator, as States man and as Man of Letters, as Poet, Novelist, Dramatist, Essayist, Critic, Thinker, and Philoso pher, it is at any rate another and a notable step towards the ulterior realization of such a de sign—the publication now for the first time, by Mr. Bentley, of the whole of "The Miscellaneous Prose Works" of an author otherwise so various and so voluminous. Here, at any rate, in these three noble volumes—volumes that at once take their place. upon our bookshelves side by side with the three volumes of the Library E lition of the Essays of Lord Macaulay—we have collected together at last the whole of the hitherto scattered Essays and Criticisms of ono chiefly known hitherto in his capacities as a Poet, as a Novelist, ae a Dramatist, and as an Orator. Here are accumulated in a single work or Collective Edition the numerous and varied miscellaneous prose con tributions of Lord Lytton to the chief among the leading periodicals of the day, whether monthly or quarterly. Among others, the whole of those charm ing essays, written by him during the two years of his Editorship of the New Monthly Magazine, and afterwards published as a collection in two volumes, under the title of " The Student." Added to which, again, here also are the whole of the yet more remarkable and thoughtful Essays contributed by him, under the pseudonym of risistratas Caxton to the pages of Blaawood'slliaga zinc, and afterwards issued, as a separate publication (also in two vo lumes) under the title of " Caxtoniana." Besides which—as constituting in fact the chief interest and attraction of the present Edition of Lord Lytton's " Miscellaneous Prose Works" as the comprehensive collection for the first time of the whole of his critical, historical, and biographical papers in the periodicals —we find here, for the first time gathered together, for the first time acknowledged, and for the first time carefully revised by their author's hand, the whole of Lord Lytton's hitherto anonymous or un- acknowledged contributions to the Quarterly, to the Edinburgh, and to other similar publications. A 9 might have been anticipated when this remarkable collection was first announced, the range of Lord Lytton's survey, in the mere selection of his themes, is sufficiently Wide and comprehensive. He here scans, with some degree of philosophic deliberation, what he had already so marvellously though as ,he occasion admitted but incidentally, described towards the conclusion of " Zanoni," that lurid and ghastly epoch in modern history known by the horribly significant title of " The Reign of Terror." Setting forth in this wonderfully diversified collection with his disquisition upon which stupendous theme, it is especially noticeable to observe the widely con- trasting interests of the various subjects selected by Lord Lytton at different periods of his career for the exercise of his critical acumen, and for the conse- quent manifestation of his essentially cosmopolitan tastes in literature, and his intensely patriotic poli tical predilections. As vividly contrasting indeed a 3 though alternating "from grave to gay, from lively to severe," his survey passes from Sir Thomas Browne to Charles Lamb, from Oliver Goldsmith io Pym versus Falkland ! The felicities at once of thought and of expression upon all those varying themes crowding upon our attention as we turn the pages, and surviving long after we have closed the volumes in our delighted recollection. How happily, for example, when speaking of Goldsmith, does he refer to leim as a sort of Irish Gil Blas, terminating in a Fabricio instead of a Minister's Secretary. And when referring afterwards to what he aptly speaks of as the inimitable sense of proportion and fit ness of adjustment between the thought and ex pression of each, how felicitously he indicates a resemblance between the prose of "Elia" and the verse of Horace —remarking elsewhere of the former that there is no malice in the smile of Lamb—Lamb's keenest sarcasm, quoth he, being his archest pleasan try ! Often enough, as a matter of course, do we find occasion here to differ from our author in regard to many of his deductions, though never with out recognising the ingenuity with which his arguments are enforced. His estimate of Ilazlitt, for example, to our judgment is throughout far too depreciatory ; while his disintegration, so to speak, of the component parts of what must always still re main for us the inimitable whole of Gray's Elegy in a Country Churchyard —seemingly to Lord Lytton a chaotically jumbled though, of course, a by no means simply fortuitous concurrence of atoms—is cruel to the extent of being absolutely pitiless. As to the general arrangement of the contents of the three remarkable volumes here submitted to our consideration, no other as it seems to us than the very order in which they are herein placed could have been at one and at the same time so simple and so symmetrical. Firstly, that is as constituting the contents of the first volume, we have the criticisms hitherto unacknowledged con tributed by Lord Lytton to the principal Re views, to . the Quarterly, the Edinburgh, the Foreign Quarterly, and the London and Westminster. Ap pended to these criticisms —perhaps the most re markable among all which is the masterly paper ou " Pitt and Fox "—being the exquisitely appre ciative "Life of Schiller," originally prefixed to the translation of the poems of that Ministrel-Drama tist, to whom he admirably well applies the phrase in which Herder was designated by Jean Paul Rich ter, namely, when pronouncing him "less a Poet than a Poem." Secondly, as the contents of the second volume, we have the Essays written in Youth, those mingled criticisms and apologues in other words, which were formerly published under the title of " The Student"—appended to these, also, being another paper of separate and very singular interest, not, however, as in the instance of the biography of Friedrich Schiller, a reprint from a volume al ready published, but a paper " Never Before Pub lished !" A paper written only half-a-dozen years ago, namely, in 1862—descriptive, first of all, of an exquisite pseudo-classic Garden Retreat, con structed by our author in the immediate neigh bourhood of his ancestral mansion of Knebworth, .a garden in honour oP Horace and his Contemporaries, chief among the latter being of course Augustus, and Maecenas, and Virgil—de scriptive afterwards of two strikingly contrasted interlocutors, who are here designated respectively Metellus and Gallus—the whole of this graceful preamble leading up very naturally and very charm ingly to a disquisition by Metellus " On the in fluence of Love on Literature and Real Life." Finally, as the contents of the third or con cluding volume, we have the collection of Essays written in Maturity, and al ready widely and honourably known under the title of " Caxtoniana." Considering these later essays as the product of Lard Lytton's intellect now in its prime, we have, to adopt a phrase of his own already referred to, a consciousness of the inimitable sense of proportion and fitness of adjustment, we will not say here merely between thought and expression, but between theme and treatment, between the subject under the Essayist's consideration and his own philosophic estimate of its intrinsic value or importance. Our meaning here we could hardly illustrate more aptly perhaps than by echoing a charming thought that recurs to us from that gentler Rochefoucault and more graceful Montaigne, the inimitable La Bruyere. "Aux enfans," says he, somewhere in his Carac teres, "aux enfans tout parait grand, les tours, les jardins, les edifices, les meubles, les hommes, les anirnaux ; aux hommes, les chosen du monde paraissent ainsi, et j'ose dire, par la memo raison, parcequ'ils soot petits." How pathetically just, how mournfully wise, how lamentably true as applied to men—aux hommes—to the generality. To a cynical giant like Swift, it is otherwise, and that diametrically. Ho stalks among his fellow mortals not so much like a Lemuel Gulliver as like a scornfully colossal sage from Brobdingnag among the Lilliputians —becoming at last " mad for the sight of his eyes that he did see," when those poor diseased eyes of his showed him, through their dis torting lenses, the human form divine diabolically caricatured into the Yahoo Among those rarer intellects, on the other hand, who have won for themselves the Platonic balance, who have grown to the full altitude out of the dwarfed condition hinted at by La Bruyere, men and things—all those varied themes for philosophic consideration here descanted upon by Lord Lytton —assume in the end their just and accurate proportions. It is the sense of this which constitutes in effect the crowning charm of these ripened products of the intellect and judgment of Lord Lytton in his twofold character as a Poet and as a Philosopher. So regarded, they have an especial value and importance of their own, even among the more highly elaborated masterpieces, whether of dramatic, epic, satiric, historic, lyrical, critical, oratorical, or romantic art contributed by the same affluent and masterhand to the stores of our national lite rature. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. GUILDHALL. BOASTING OF BEING A FENlAN.—Edward Cotton, an ivory turner, living at 19, Charterhouse-square, was brought before Alderman Finnis, charged with being drunk and disorderly. Henry Southerwood, 488, said that morning, at a quarter to one o'clock, the defendant was in Earl-street, Blackfriars, drunk. He refused to go home, declaring that he was a Fenian, and conti nually throwing himself down on the ground. He declared himself to be a Fenian, and said he carried a sword-stick. Witness, seeing his wife carrying two sticks, asked to be allowed to look at them, and found one really to be a sword-stick. Prisoner was fined ss. for being drunk. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Two lads, named Wm. Jones and Wm. Smith were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows : Police-constable Shrive; 82 C, saw the prisoners go into a marine store shop in Moor-street, St. Martin's-lane, last night, having a bundlelwith them. He got the assistance of another constable, Herring, 60 C, and then went into the shop, where he found the prisoners. On asking Smith where he got a rug which the bundle contained, he said first that two young men had given it to him, but after wards that he purchased it up in Old Compton-street. On the way to the station Smith pulled his handkerchief out of his pocket, and while doing so dropped a skeleton key, which he said was his latch key. He knew the prisoners as companions. Herring, 60 C, having given similar evidence, Smith said that all he knew about the rug was that he picked it up. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner would be re manded, but he would take bail for Jones. Shrives said that Jones was au old hand. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that being the case, there would be no remand. WORSHIP-STREET. BURGLARY.—A dirty-looking fellow, who gave the name of John Lewis, and described on the charge-sheet as a labourer, of "no home," was charged before Mr. Newton with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house and pre mises of Mr. William Abraham Crapp, No. 4, Fassett-road, Dalston, and stealing therefrom. The charge having been proved, Mr. Newton fully com mitted the prisoner for trial. di; Cl gt reig exp hay, chat loan cent T. htlv ( bay j Co ln ann,
