The Proof.Sheets Of the Author of
Wayerley.

To the Editor of the London Times:
Sir,-Perhaps you may be able to honor
with a corner in your world-renowned CO.
lumns the following statement Of an inte-
resting and curious fact:
If | were not the sole survivor of all con-
nected with the publication of the novels
and tales of Sir Walter Scott should think
it strange that neither in the catalogue nor
in the account of the sale in the Times Of
the llth instant of the MSS. and proof
sheets of the author of Waverley, at Chris
ties, on Thursday last, is there any men
ton of a popularity which distinguishes
the latter documents from all other proofs
that ever were seen or sold. Not one of
them ever went to press. Sir Walter Scott
always had the proof sent to him IN dupil-
cate, writing his corrections on one copy,
and returning both to James Ballantyne,
who transcribed them on the other proof,
and that, of course, was the one sent to
press so that the originals are as clean as
when they came from Scott's hand. In this
respect these proofs are quite unique, and
no wonder they were go carefully preserved
by the late Mr. Robert Cadell. So scrupu
lous was the Great Unknown" in keep
ing his incognito that he would not permit
even single line in his own handwriting
to be scrutinized by the prying eyes of the
Modern Athenians," many of whom, fa-
miliar with his autograph, frequented James
Ballantyne's printing-oftice.
For my competency as an authority in
this matter l refer your readers to the Sc
yenty fifth chapter of Lockhart's Life Of
Scott"
I have the honor to be, sir, your most
obedient servant,
GEORGE HUNTLY GORDON.

often spoken Of in the social circle as one
who had been held in much estimation.
His untimely end was lanented, but there
were few who believed it undeserved.
It was after the lapse of several years
that some one who had emigrated to- Amer
ica returned. He was i'll, and troubled in
mind something lay heavy on his heart
and disturbed his conscience he made his
confession to his priest : He had been the
sweetheart of the murdered girl; she
had let him in by the back way, early in the
evening, to take tea with her. AS they sat
side by side he asked her for kiss, which
he would have suatched, when she denied
him; she took up her masters surgical in
strument, which she had to clean, and
which lay on the table beside her, and she
pointed toward him jestingly; in strug-
gle she fell on it, and it pierced her side :;
he snatched the shirt which she had in her
lap to mend and staunched the blood
which was flowing with it; but life
soon ebbed away, and he SAW the girl
that he loved-who had been laugh
ing and talking with him but few min
utes before-lying dead beside him his
agony only gave way to the instinct of self
preservation when he thought he heard the
sound of approaching footsteps; he thrust
the blood stained shirt into the coal-hole,
and setting the hall door ajar, he concealed
himself behind it, and when the crowd had
collected on hearing the alarm, he mingled
with it, and then passed into the street, and
on to the quay, and getting on board an
American ship, he sailed in a few hours.
When he learned that the surgeons life had
been forfeited, he was overwhelmed with
anguish. The only reparation in his power
was to clear his character from the dread
full imputation; but though he felt relief
in this act of justice, yet it could not undo
tho iuiurv infirtpd

ESCAPE AND RECAPTURE OF CoNvICTs.-
Wardwell, it seems, has been accustomed
for some time past to detail several convicts
to sweep outside the penirentiary gates.
On Thursday last two negro prisoners, hay
ing been detailed for that purpose, took ad-
vantage of their situation and made their
escape. On the afternoon of the same day
two members of the guard, being off duty,
were in Hollywood Cemetery, when they
saw these two men walking by, and recog-
nizing them as escaped convicts made af-
ter them and succeeded in securing them,
but not before they had offered very des-
perate resistance. Wardwell rewarded the
two guards by presenting each with pair
of boots.
