0. T., AND ONLY A FIDDLER. BY THE AUTHOR
OF " THE IMPEOVISATORE.''—We extract the following from the

- .
Literary Gazette of this day. It contains one of the highest
eulogiums ever paid to any work of fiction :—" What we thought
of " The Improvisatore" is vouched by several numbers of the
Gazette, in which we paid our tribute of applause to the originality
and genius it displayed. And now, having read little more than
the first of " 0. T.," we cannot resist the wish to tell the public
not to wait for next week when we may point out some of its at-

...... - - _ .
tractions, but at once procure one of the most interesting works
which has issued from the press for years. Its pictures of Danish
life are most natural and most admirable; its illustrations of super-

stitions, its descriptions of scenery and external objects, its touches
of truth in character and incident, its exquisite drawing of children
and children's minds, its naïveté and lively and sallies, its world
wisdom and Imaginativeness, all briefly set before us, as if in flashes
of light and intellect, possess so entire a charm, that we do not for a
moment hesitate to say that this is a book which will afford the
utmost gratification to every class of readers, and deserve a place

among the most sterling works of fiction that ever were produced.
Fredericka Bremer must look about her now ; for the Fates have
ordained the appearance of another greater' than she, and the lite-
rature of Denmark will hardly bring forth a third greater still.'
In short, this is a very delightful book ; and we feel certain of many
_ _

thanks the sooner it is in the hands of the many friends who follow
our advice in the choice of their reading."—Literary Gazette.

wages or a month's notice, and he was accordingly nonsuited,

been in the habit of seeing the papers daily, for which one penny per
day was charged, and the present proceedino were taken to recover
a balance due upon that account. Mr. CominisKioner Dubois—Then
you cannot recover, as you have been minty of a gross fraud upon the
Stain!) °nice in letting the newSpapers out for hire. The plaintiff—
But he was hi the habit of coining to my shop and seeing them.
Mr. Commissioner Dubois—That does not matter; it is a fraud upon
the Stamp-on-ice, and you render yourself liable to an indictment
being laid against you for it. The defendant did not deny that he
owed something., but from the dictum of the Commissioner in the
first instance, " that the plaintiff could not recover," thought it would
be his province to dismiss the case, This, however, was not done ;
and in opposition to his previonS opinion that the defendant was not
bound to pay a debt coutructed under illegal circumstances, the Com-
missioner ordered the defendant to pay the inll amount claimed.
