being found guilty. The heroic Griffith,
It appeared, Lad been "on the fuddic"
for two months, and knew nothing of the
trial or Of the search that had been made for
him. The body was shown to be that of
Tom leicester, who, having been also ION
the fuddle," had drowned himself BY acci-
dent. Ar. Gaunt resumed his place in socI-
ETY., and, coming Just then into splendid
Inheritance from another distant relative, ho
built 1ne mansion and Invited his wife to
thare it, They soon became rcconcllcd; the
Attorney General Was couslderate; and It
was tacitly agreed on all hands to ignore his
little felony. Ar. George Neville fell In love

1fthere any ''moral'' to this story We are
unable to discover it. The plot Is inecn-
ious, the dialogue lively and amusing, the
characters shl1fully drawn. But the action
Is frequently unnatural, the situations
forced, and some OF the most striking fen
tures appear like distant mutations Of other
works. At one time we are reminded of
Othello, at another Of Tom Jones, now OF The
Stranger, and anon Of Aurora Floyd. Mr.
Rcade is not happy in his children, and dis
ereetly keeps them In the background. The
little daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Gauut Is
brought ont once or twfce TO help forward
their reconciliation; hut she Is not moro at
tsactiye than the children who play like
part in Kotxebue's drama. As to bigamy In
novels, We are little tired It. Miss Brad.
don set the fashion, and George Elliot fol-
lowed It In Romo1a. Mt. Reade ought to
show more originality. We hope the next
author who serves up a crime of this sort
Will not stop short Of trigamy, OF even quad
rlgsmy.
In Mr.. Reade's style there is not enoneh
repose. There Is q too evident sclrcon-
| sciousncss and selCaasertlon. We Imagine
the author TO be constantly thinking "This
| IL very fine; this will make people stare"
&c is like m actor who is always speaking
at the audience. tie does not, indeed, play
sneh prauka In this ns In some of his former
novels, where his smart sentences were en-.
forced By magnificent type in a manner un.
rivalled except By the pages Of the lamcnted
John Phnnix.
That there are coarse phrases ard coarsel

night Within the last thlrty-dye years
four murders have taken place In that vicin-
Ity, and uone Of the criminals have been con-
yicted or punished. The fzst one, Soadfah

william Rowe, who had driven Ar. Linus
Goodrich from his house, and who came to
Mr.. Bird for protection: The latter returned
with Nr. Goodrich to his house, and Just rs

such blow on the back Of bis neck with an
axe as to nearly sever his head from his

eztApe to Canada, and an account Of whose
capture at Chatham we published = short

ccntsired, by eomt neans, to arrange the de-
tails Of the conspiracy with eight other con-

and keepers, Rnd liberate all the prikoners-
For this purpose Bo1t1es contriyed to get

ever, the officer Of the Institution, having
kept q sharp watch On his movements since
his recapture, discovered his dcsigns, snd the
conspiracy was thus nipped In the bud.

Immediately placed In irons and locked up
in cells. The balance Of the convicts see-

Mr., Reade, apparently, does not agree With
Sir Walter Scott's theory in regard to tho
title of bis novels. That great master, in
the preface to 1vauhoc, congratulatcs him
self upon the name Of his story because,
first, II had an ancient English sound aud,
secondly, It conveyed no indication what
ever Of the nature Of the tale. This last
quality, he says, Is Of no small Importance.
"Nhat Ia called taking title serves the
direct Interest Of tho bookseller Or publisher,
who, by this means, sometimes sells an edl-
tlon while 1t Is yet passing the press. But
ifan author permits an over degree of attcn-
tion to be drawn to his work Gro It hasnp-
pcarcd, he places hi1nsaf In the embar-
rasslug condition Of having excited degree
or expectation " hlch, If he proves unable to
satisfy, Is an error fatal to his literary repu.
tation."
A want of confidence, however, is not one
Of Mr. Reade's failIngs, and, doubtless, he
feels able to satisfy all the expectations
which the most taking title can excite. Such
title moreover Is OF great advantage to a
serial story, which like wounded snake
draEs Its slow length along, through twenty
numbers Of monthly magazine. This mode
of publication also influences the style Of
noyel writing 1t the present day. The read.
cr's interest must be stimulated br each sue.
