A NEW ROMAN NOVEL.--MT. Herbert, the
tinguished author of " Oliver Cromwell," after the et
ample of Bulwer and Lockhart,-is, it appears, about `,
test his powers as a delineator of the manners and cue
toms toms of classic times, by the production of a work en:
titled " The Rotnan Traitor, a True Tale of the
n,y
public." We hail this announcement with gr'-ot
pleasure. Mr. Herbert has already given suffici°,,y
evidence of his ability as a novelist, to leave not a dello%
of success, as far as the interest arising from the c„,„°
,truetion of his story is concerned ; and we underswij
that almost all the characters are veritable and renowlLA
personages of the Republic, and that they are depicilei
with a degree of skill and accuracy, displaying a gri
amount of classical learning on the part of this poPtjoe
writer.

origin of the disaster. Nothing satisfactory, horle,lo,
was arrived at. Mr. Rudge, the traffic superintenaf,,e r
resumed the company's inquiry in the course of the
noon, and from what transpired the cause is left in to"
mystery. That it broke out in the lamp-room therne
no doubt. The trimmer states that after the deparwio•
of the last train on the previous night, and at the eidl
elusion of the day's business, he is positive that he 'of,

thing that would lead him to suppose that a fire fiag

that the estimated loss was 3,5001., and that the proPespe
was uninsured. There has been no stoppage to de
traffic on the line, and a great number of workmen '',3o
busily employed in repairing the damage which has il,
