A House TO LET. A Christmas and New Years
Story. In six chapters. By CHARLES DICKENS.
Svo. PIP. 81. Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson &
Brothers, BOG Chestnut street. For sale by Henry
Taylor, Sun Iron Building.
We are of the faith of those who believe in Boz |!
There is no truer genius in English literature! We
do not know that the popularity of Dickens has de-
cned, though it is probable that, to some extent,
this is the case. He has certainly been cast some
what, into shadow by the rising of, what many be-
lieve, greater light. Thackeray and Dickens,
however, are so distinct in the manifestations of
their genius, to render comparison between
them, for the purpose of assigning to either supe
rior excellence, very difficult They stand at the
head of two schools, and none may say which is the
greater master. We may allow to Dickens place in
literature resembling Hogarth's in art while Thack
erays rather resembles that of Vandyke or LEY
But we gain little by such comparisons. Dickens
is the painter of the pathos and the eccentricty of
that part of life ranging from the very dregs of
society," no higher, perhaps than the lower strata of
middle life Thackeray's sphere is above this, So
cially, but is more limited. He sketches with
a master hand the portraits of those who sit in the
choice seats of the worlds drama-but he does not
often get above this or below it.
We think Thackeray the more conscientious
painter; his views less grotesquc and fanciful
und truer to nature than the quality of Dickens
mind permits his works to be- On this &C
count, perhaps, many would be disposed to
cede to the latter loftier Imagination than be-
longs to the author of Vanity Far-forgetting that
adherence to truth is the highest manifestation of
that faculty.
"a House to Let' is one of Dickens annual
Christmas stories, rather, collections of stories
The present one has no other connection with that
festival, than as suggesting appropriate present.
With hearty admiration for the author, we must
admit that only of his stories, here presented,
has any great merit. But the Manchester Mar
ria0 is perfect rem

The political partnership which has hitherto ex-
listed between the North and the South is about to
be dissolved. Senator IvERsoN has given formal
notice to that effect and of course it must be So
In the Senate on Tuesday, he announced the in
tentlon OF the South, at an early day, to retire
from the firm, and start in business in its own
name, and on its own account. He in fact init
mated that if the question were cleft to Georgia
ITO decide" the decision would be in favor of an
immediate separation. Now-Mr. IvERsoN as we
have heretofore had occasion to mention, and take
pleasure in repeating-is a statesman and a schol-
ar. He has been Judge, if we are not mis-
taken, and is now Senator. He is a thoroughly
practical man, besides-is Mr. IvERsoN. There
is no humbug about him. Not the least in the
world. What he says he thinks, and what he be.
lieves he believes with all his heart For abstrac-
tons and abstractionists, he evidently hasn't

accordingly loses no opportunity of attesting his
own by his speeches and his votes In this mat

peased by promises of better treatment in future.

lis not now near at hand" At all events ba
thinks, that under the circumstances. it wonId be
apiece of useless extravaganza to attempt to build

mends the construction of two. He opposes the
route adopted by the Senate Committee, "because
lit would not be through the South" and advo-
Gates the selection of another which shall "aid the

THE AMERICAN ON PROVISIONS.


MEssRs EDIToRs: The example set by your cor
respondent Iron, this morning, induces me to make
few remarks on the Prouision article in the Amer
ican's Commercial Statement. The very confused
manner in which the article is written, through
out demands extreme attention to come at its gen.
eral meaning; but no one, not posted, could read
that portion of it relating exports of Provisions
without coming to the conclusion that we had been
large shippers the past season from this port. Of
course, in a Statement prepared for the single pur-
pose of presenting the commercial statistics of
Baltimore, the inference is, that all the figures
given relate to the business of this city, exclusive
ly, unless it is expressly stated to the contrary.
How absurdly, then, reads the remark, without
any explanation or qualification that "the exports
to England the past season were AZ, 465 boxes Mid
dies, and q, l96 bbls Pork, against s5,60S boxes
Middles and 6,522 bbls. Pork the previous
&C." What is the use of preparing statements for
public information, which are certain to lead all
astray, who not otherwise informed, and who,
of course, need nothing of the kind?
Provisions.

The New Haven Journal is requested to say, that
statement made in the Hartford Times and copied
in other papers, respecting the will of the Hon. H.
l.. Ellsworth, is premature. The will has not been
"approved," or offered for probate. No direct
legacy has been made to Yale College. Whatever
of this kind exists is resduary and is contingent
on the settlement of an estate lying to great ex
tent in wild lands. Hence no just estimate be
put on the value and the one given in the Times is
certainly very great exaggeration.
