The .futtor Of Wauerly.--The failure Of the
great booksellers Constable b Co. is said to have
ruined Sir Walter Scott who had made himself re.
sponslble for them to large amount 1t has pro
duced, too, the Development of the incognito, hilh
eto preserved by the author Of The Wayerly novels,
Sir Walter having. al it is said, in order to prove
his claim on the estate, been obliged to swear that
ne had an interest author in the proceeds of those
works. According to the annexed paragraph, how
ever, he will not be reduced to perjury:
Sir Walter Scott, notwithstanding the unfortunate
issue of the commercial spccua,icns with which he
has been mingled, will not be in destitute condi.
ton. Lady Scott has large fortune left to her a,
the decease OF brother, which hereafter will de.
scend to the children. The estate at Abbotsord
about 40 miles from Edinburgh, on which large
fortune was expended, was some years back settled
upon his son, who married lady of considerable
wealth. The lucrative Office held by sir Walter
himself will remains after all pecuniary ditiicute.

II would appear from the following article that new
claim to the authorship of the celebrated letters Of unui
is set up.
The Author Of Jilnus--A work has been recently
issued from the London press, the object of which $50
prove that Mr. BURKE the author of the letters o.
Junus. Its pretcnsons said to be at least as strong
not stronger than any of its predecessors in the same @
age Of discovery is added, by London print to which
We are indebted for The notice of the fact that the author
anaytcay Junus and Burke, and compares whae
has written with what he has spoken and atoge seems
to have afforded probable development OF the So
cret and more satisfactory evidence the subject yuan
have appeared in all former publications of the same Ten
dency."
1t should be remembered that Burke not only denea
his claim to the authorship of the letters of unlus 70 "
Johnson but that in speech in Parliament he aacAes
the writings of Junius, and condemned them with g,sn
warmth of expression. He said that the magnty dIspl
ed by this author in his letter the king "made bis blow
run cold" 1t should be remembered that the style OF s
two writer's is different it is possible to be-that a
distinctive traits of Burkes style variant from ,nG
of Junus both are from those Of John Bunyans sye

been hurled upon her head from the angry SKIES

of grief and as soon as her agitation would permit

the floor The shock was severe upon the gentle
man, and had it not been Tor the mysterious Incl
dent Of the picture, would have been much more So
hut the singular conduct Of B. on that OCCASION
had in measure prepared him for some strange
disclosure. The usual restoratives having been
applied. the unfortunate lady was so far recovered
as 10 speak further upon the subject, and the secret
having been thus divulged, she unburdened her
heart more freely, and proved the truth OF her re-
presentations, by producing the certificate Of her
marriage from resident clergyman, who confirms
It's genuineness and authenticity.
