Beauchampe is one Of the border ronances of the
fruitful pen and is marked by the same clear charae
teristics the others have As it has been before the
public previously and is well known to all readers Of
Mr.. Simms writings, it is unnecessary for US to do
more than give it that degree of commendation which
all of his writings deserve, without overlooking many
faults which are shared in common with them. There
is hurry and instability in their appearance as in
thatpf New York house which has been run up,
plastered painted furnished and inhabited in six days
from the close Of the contract to build it. The mate-
rial and the plan is good, but neither sufficient care
sufficient time have been used to render it what
it should be- reads well, nevertheless and some Of
the incidents are strikingy drawn. III $ 5S54

Of that singular order Of detective governmental
literature which was Initiated by the police Of the
French Revolution, confined by Yidocq, and further
Illustrated both in Engald and our own country, We
do not remember ever haing read any more interest
ing work than the one h&ore us. It is the chronicle
of mems exertions in themost actual, yet metaphys
cal field of labor we hap known a record Of the
daily dangers every monyed letter is subject to, and
of the guardianship andpolce that is exercised over
it, The interest of the istory is in the thousand and
one exploitsby which cine is traced home to the
guilty and the most sutle webs Of guile made plain
as cable. The ncidentare numerouI and effective,
and every one will be iterested in and repaid BY a
