such an organization However, few
names were obtained and the speaker, de-
termined to succeed, appointed another
meeting. At this meeting a number Of

the society, and an organization was soon
effected. The Division is now in active

"Strong fears have been entertained that
Dickens, in dying, had left uncompleted

by various journals that this was a fact
Mr.. Dickens publishers, however, have
made statement as to the condition OF
this romance which is calculated to- set
at rest any doubt as to the completion OF
the story. They say that besides the In
stalments of the novel already published
they have received sufficient material for
three additional numbers, the compost

mass of memoranda almost sufficient to
complete the narrative, and partially as
