The BULwER Scandal London correspond
ent writes that Lady Bulwer, who was once the
torment of her husbands life, publishing novels
every year or two-in which he was the villain,
and his death described as the most desirable of
events-is now believe, out of harms way"
She is understood 10 be in a lunatic asylum. A
peeress by right, she never enjoyed the honors of
the station. Lady Bulwer was always passion
ate woman; she was hot-headed Irish girl Of the
middle classes, who could not brook the least
contradiction or apparent neglect.
Bulwer was fond of her, and dedicated one OF
bis early novels to her in affectonate terms.
When the qusrrels began the husbands mother
made things worse, and after disgracefu scenes
had been enacted, a separation was agreed to-.
When Bulwer was q cabinet minister he sought to
get her confined in an asylum. but she obtained
Der release, posted to the county town at which
be was to present himself for reelection, and hsr
angued the farmers frem wagon! Their only
surviving child, Mr.. Robert Lytton, now rising
fast ia the diplomatic world, and known as Owen
Meredith" undertook to live with his mother and
keep her from mischief; but her violence became
at last real insanity. Some of her books, such as
I" Chevely; or the Man of Honor are clever,
though the haired Of her husband which they re.
veal is sickeniDg. She extended this feeling 10
his friends. and Mr.. Ben Arsby" (Disraeli) and
Mr.. Dickens figure prominently in her works.
When Mr.. Dickens took the world into his conf
dence and narrated the facts of his separation
from bis wife, Lady Bulwer was 10 ecstaGies. She
claimed it as proving the justice OF all she had
said.

The New York correspondent Of tie Cincinnati
Enquirer, writing of the book trade, says: "Our
publishers are brushing up for the holidays, and
busting the presentation books they had to lay
by last January. Some of them have immense
stocks of these books on hand, and will be lucky
if q ey turn them into cash this year. Books
ranging from five to fifty dollars volume are now
displayed on their shelves and In their windows,
and the stores are beginning to gil up with people
who want TO give Christmas presents to other
people, and have judgment TO choose things re-
ally worth giving. The gorgeously gotten up
youth, whose heart futters furiously at sight Of
crook backed divinity. lays out bis spare green
backs on fine gilt Moore, or Byron, or Tennyson,
while his father, perhaps, is selecting Horace,
Virgil, or msyhsp Burke for the hope OF the
household. Every year the custom OF presenting
books instead of gewgsws increases in favor aud
practice. And certainly il is good custom. The
leading publishing houses now vie with each in
getting out holiday books In exquisite style. Aud
this competition has led to the production Of vol
umes which, in make up, will not lose by compsr-
ison with the best printed in Europe. The book
trade has been rather quiet during the year. but
the present month promises to witness unusual
activity. and the large houses expect to work of
more high priced books than in any former
season.

FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER IL, 1858.

A RARE CHANCE FOR CAPITAL.-The great
National Telegraph Company will promptly set to
work, in the early part of the new year, planting
their poles and laying their wires, from city to
tity. all over the continent of America. The CEN
tral Office will be in New York city, and the wire
network of the company, connecting all business
points with that great commercial metropolis,
will, when complete, be under as easy and prompt
control as the wires used in New Orleans by the
FIRE alarm telegraph organization. The compile
,tion of this extensive enterprise will force COM
petition. and cause reduction in the charges for
telegrsphiDg of at least fifty per cent. on the
rates now exacted by the monopoly which con.
trolls all Geographic communication in this country.
1t is stated by competent judges that even this
Wholesale reduction will still afford far heavier
dividends than any other branch Of business.
1t is time for the merchants and capitalists of
New Orleans to consider this great project and to
wake up to its extraordinary advantages. Already
q party Of railroad contractors have made propo.
siton to construct II 500 miles of poles and far.
nish Is 0C0 miles of wire for certain amount of
shares in the capital stock of the company.
II would be a stain upon the fair name of COM
mercial enterprise in the Crescent City if our men
of business were TO allow themselves to be ex-

portions of the country.
