JAMES AND CooPER.-A London paper saws,
facetiously, that Mr.. G. P R. James, on his arrival
in America, backed himself for a large sum, to
write ten novels in less time than Mr.. Fennimore
Cooper would take to write five. At the end of
the first week, Mr. James had completed four and
had got as far as the two travellers fine sum-
mer's day evening. in the fifth, and was still, when
accounts left, in wind. At the same period, Mr..
Cooper had finished only one, and but just arrived
at the discovery Of the heros lost grandmother in
the tribe Of the Esqumaux, towards the middle of
second the severe weight of the materials be-
sides, was beginning to tell, and he showed visible
signs of punishment. There can be no little doubt
of Mr. James winning the wager.
