one of the two, not being able TO sleep, and

10 amuse himself in the kitchen, where he
heard some people talking.
After diverting blmsalf there for some
time, and wishing to return to his bed, he
again went up stairs, but, instead of enter
ing his own chamber, went into that of the
deceased count. over whose head they had

THE LAST DAYS, OF PoMPEII.-This is
Mr.. Buwer's new novel, the appearance OF
which the public have been led to expect
fer some time past, by an occasional extract
in various daily and weekly papers. AS the
name denotes, the time, and scene, and in
ciden,s, and chara cters, are classic and the
success with which Mr.. Bulwer has dealt
with them, shows that they are well adapt-
ed for the purposes of romance. In Pom
peii were blended the refinement of Greece
and the maguifcence and luxury of impe-
rial Rome; arts still fiourished amid the
barbarck grandeur that yet invested the
mistress of the world. Christianity had
dawned upon mankind, yet the gorgeous
and poetical superstitions of the Grecians
and Egyptians still swayed the millions
who received the mandates of the forum
the rude, stern virtues OF the republic, had
given place to more than eastern pomp,
luxury and effeminacy, yet multitudes
thronged to witness the sangulnary combat
of the gladiators, and human courage was
mated with the ferocity of tigers for the en-
tertainment of the people. Such are the Ell.
ements with which the vivid Imagination
of BuIwar has wrought, and the result is a
splendid and exciting picture. The story
is one of deep and powerful interest, in
creasing with the progress of the tale,
and ending at last in climax OF mingled
terror and sublmity-,he destruction OF
the city by tremendous eruption of We
suvius, which is wrought up with fell
cious power of description.
