SECOND EDITION of BARBARA'S
HISTORY. By AMELIA B. EDWARDS.
From the rimes, March 28. —" It is not often that we light
upon a new novel of so much merit and interest as' Barbara's
History.' It is a work conspicuous beyond the average for
taste and literary culture, and felicitous in its delineation of
some very delicate a❑d refined shades of character. It is a
very graceful and charming book, with a well manac ed story,
clearly cut characters, and sentiments express -d with an ex-
quisite elocution. The dialogues especi,lly spa kle with re-
partee. It is a book wh4h the world will like, and which
those vk ho commence it will care to finish This is high
praise of a work of art, and so we intend it."

audiences at this theatre that the management has
not found it necessary to produce any important
novelties for the Easter holidays. But, by way
simply of complying with custom, a new farce, by
Mr. J. M. Morton, was last night played fot the first
time, "Drawing Rooms, Second Floors, and Attics"
is the title, and it treats of the adventures chiefly of
Triptolemus Brown, a chymist's assistant, who
is brought up from Cambridge by an uncle, Mr.
Cockletop, to be married offhand—after the manner
of uncles and nephews in farces—to Miss Bunny,
the daughter of an old friend. Pursued by an in-
furiated rival, he makes his way up a chimney to an
attic, where he meets the real lady of his affections,
Phoebe Fur below, a laundress. Thence he is forced
to take another flight down the chimney, which
lands him in the second floor, inhabited by Miss
Hardaport, a fascinating milliner, with 38 male
cousins, and finally, precipitated through the win-
dow of the second floor to a balcony below, lie makes
his appearance battered, and tattered, and grimy—
unrecognisable even by his uncle—in the greatest
confusion among the inmates and amusement to the
audience. The piece is written in Mr. Morton's
usual sparkling style, and the part of the luckless
lover—who is at last made happy—is exantly suited
for the versatile and energetic Mr. David Fisher.
Nothing could be more unreserved than the verdict
of approval which rewarded both author and actor.
