LADY ALICE; OR, TlfE New UNA.-The first
copyof this novel reached New Orleans Yesterday
by mail We understand from Mr. j. B. Steel that
he will have a inll supply in a few days The book
created quite sensation in England, where it first
appeared, and afterwards in the Northern cities.
The following notice is from the Literary World
The author has elaborated his work with care
and industry. He invites its critical perusal, and
judgment upon its merits, less a fiction and
love story Than work of art, exhibiting high

seasoned romance, Although the story is confess
eddy for The sake Of moral and, in part, of doc
trne, the author wisely pereeives that there is very
little staple for the purposes of fiction in morals and
doctrines by themselves. They must be displayed,
/ like very precious jewels, in the most elaborate
setting. The piety and the prudence which the
reader would quite overlook in garUsnu, he will
admire prOdigiously in a princess. The religion
/ which he would be apt TO think dull ia the parish
church, invests itself with the most salutary and
delightful influences 10 the warm atmosphere of a
ducal chapel Accordingly, the author abandons
the meagre r5te Of the mOralist rises at into
the upper regions Of romance, and, being there,
selects his materials with the most discriminating
spirit of eclecticism. He is determined TO have
every thing of the BEST His characters are picked
out Of the seleotest society. They are almost all
lords and ladies. The two volumes are a sort Of
