SUES NOVEL, THE WANDERING JEw.-Ast the pub.
lie have been already informed, this great work was
purchasedn advance Of its appearance in Paris, by
j. Winchester, at an expense of $4,000. The first
number has been issued, and the demand for the
work, even in this early stage. we are informed,
surpasses his most sanguine expectations. The Sc
cond number is now in type, and as it embraces o
highly interesting portion Of the work, il may be
reasonably expected to bring large accession Of
patronage.
| The demand for Eugene Sues works, both in
French and English, is steadily increasing. The
author of the Mysteries Of Paris" since the ap-

he stands second to none in the estimation OF the
public as writer OF fiction. The great demand
here for the work in both languages, has induced
Winchester to issue French edition, which laud
able step has, it seems, encountered the hostility Of
competitor, who, by his indiscreet and unfair re.

open to censure. Mons. Gaillardet, editor of the
"Courrier desl Etat Unis," who wishes, il woult

What Mons. Gaillardet means when he tells the
