naturally became its Paris correspondent. Thus,
like Dickens, he commenced his literary career as
journalist In Paris, Thackeray met his pres
ent wife, an Irish lady of a good family, and mar
| ried her.
From this time dates his first purely literary
| effort-the "Yellowplush Papers" aftorward
| published as '.Jeames DiaIy"-in which his char
acteristic tendency is clearly indicated. The step
fathers " unconstitutional" absorbed most of his
property, of course, and failed. The son was
obliged to return to England, and to begin work
in earnest for himself. He wrote for Fraeter's
| Magazine and literary reviews for The Times
IN which he ridiculed the early Bulwer style of
romance-the interesting burglars and romantic
murderers But the public, resolved upon en-
Joylng the fascination of crime sentmentally des-
crlbed, received his structures coldly. The
struggling author turned to the humorous,
sketch style to win an and gain penny
Literary friends more fairly favored than he,
opened their purses to him. but his wife became
insane, and is, at this day, the inmate of an asy-
lum. He worked industriously with his pen

sketches his characteristic power shows ITSELF
The two last were written after the great fame
and success of ''Vanity Fair, but they are only
studies for his large pictures-and it may be
noted as proof of his genuine genius, that the
completed figures are infinitely superior to the
designs, and it is in completing the picture from
the sketch, so that it shall gain in meaning as
we'll as in elaboration and size, that the true ar
fist is shown. Mr.. Thackeray offered the MS of
| '.Vanity Fair" to magazine. The editor de-
clined it. The author published it, and made his
name immortal. 1t was followed by '.Penden-
mis-, y mellower ripper fruit, to our fancy, but
we have no thought OF entering upon criticism
of the author. His latest public literary work is
the course of lectures upon the wits of Queen
Anne's times, which has been read before literary
and fashionable London, and received with the
greatest applause. Copious abstracts were pub
lished in the leading journals, and there is little
doubt that they are quite worthy their author
Mr. Thackeray is now understood to be engaged
in completing novel, of which the scene is laid
among the persons and the times taaated in his
lectures.
OfMr Thackeray' intention to visit the United
States we hear nothing said. We think that there
could be little doubt of the success of his lectures
here.-N Y. Tribune.

CHARLES X. MALLORY.

To the voters Of the Judicial Circuit composed of
the counties Of Henrico Charles City, NeaU
Kent, James City, City of williamsburg, York.
Waraoach, Elisabeth City, Gloucester, Mat
hews and Middlescr.
You will be called on, in a few weeks hence, to
exercise by far the most important function with
in the scope of the elective ranchse-the election
of Judge. Who shall be the individual selec-
ted is a matter of the deepest moment to every
citizen who has ght to maint ain or to lose.
The merits of several candidates, among them
Judge Christian, Judge Clopton and Col. Mclean
dish, have been duly indicated by their respec-
tive friends and from those merits it is not my
purpose, in the slightest, to detract.
But with all respectfor the claims of those gen
tlemen may be allowed to introduce to the vo-
tiers of the Circuit another gentleman to whom
they may, with all safety and confidence, entrust
the administration of the judicial office | refer
to CHARLES X. MALLORY, Esq, ofthe county of
Elizabeth City, in whom united to the three
indispensable qualifications for the Bench-sound
legal attainments, high moral fitness and physi-
cal vigor which will render the administration of
justice absolutely certain. He lisa sound Lawyer,
with mind decidedly legal in its cast, devoted to
the profession, studious and interchangeable, with
decided business aptitudes. For elevated character
and all the moral characteristics that beft for the
judicial station, no man in the Circuit else
where stands before him. And he is in the very
prime of life, being aged about thirty five.
On the latter qualification he ought to have the
decided preference over all the other gentlemen
named for the office. The latter have passed,
considerably the meridian of life have reached,
indeed, that period when both the mental and
physical faculties must be on the decline, and eau
scarcely be expected to be possessed of the fresh
ness aud vigor which are required for the GER
tain administration of justice. In a word Mr..
MALLORY is their full equal in all other respects
and greatly there superior in this, and there
fore better fitted for the Judgeship of SO large
Circuit.
l will only add that Mr.. MALLORY has been
brought before the Circuit by the urgent socita-
tons of large portion of the people of the lower
part of it, and that those where his abilities and
virtues are best known, he will receive-what he
well deserves-a warm and almost undivided sup

The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company
have received such assistance from the cities of
Georgetown and Alexandria, and from the Banks
of the District, as to be in condition to commence
(and, it is believed. to carry through) the repairs
to the Canal rendered necessary by the ravages
of the late freshet. Georgetown has advanced
$4,000, Alexandria SOS, 900, and the balance has
been made by the Banks.
The Chief Engineer feels assured that the
amount of $4,000, nor the time mentioned for the
completion ofthe repairs, (vz: the LIST July next,
will be exceeded. He thinks that the damage
done is not really bad as that of 1647, and that
when repaired the Canal will be worth $4,000
more than it was before the flood

The Savannah Republican says of General Ca
nedo, the successor of Gen. Concha, us Captain
General OF Cuba, that he is a man of about fifty
of rather severe aspect, good features and very
elaborate courtliness of manners. He bows gra-
ciously to every negro who takes off his hat to
him, and seems determined to be popular. The
Cubans do not appear to have made up their
minds whether or not to like him. He, of course
will find it difficult to please both Creoes and
Spaniards, who mortay hate each other, and he
cannot we'll please foreigners, with the spon-
ging and annoying system pursued towards all Wis
tiers to the island.
