Dickens, I.irtIe Folks.

Nothing ha, given the writings Of Charles
Dickens SO strong hold upon the hearts Of
parents as the Nell-known exc Hence of his
portrayal Of children and their interests. These
delineations having received the approval of
readers Of mature age, the different child
characters hsve been detached from the large
II ass of matter with which they were orig nally
connected, and presented in the authors own
language, to a new class Of readers, to whom
the little volumes will be as attractive as the
larger originals have proven to the general pub
lie. A series OF twelve volumes has been pre-
pared, presenting, among others, the following
characters: 'Smise," from Nicholas Niekleby;
Little Nell,' from The Old Curiosity Shop
"The Child Wife," from David Copperfield
1.-THE Boy Joe," from Pickwick Papers, etc.,
etc. new edition of the first volume of the
series, Little Paul, from Dombey Son, has
just been issued, illustrated by barley, and
attractively bound. The other volumes will
shortly follow. Sent postpaid for $1.OO; or any
volume will be sent with years subscripti II

latest special advices from Bucharest put the
number OF Turkish prisoners taken at 40 600.
Dispatches received direct from the scene OF
the conflict were to the effect that Osman PashA
ordered q sortie in the direction Of Widen.
Bis valor, which is described as desperate,
was everywhere the theme OF conversation.
The sufferings Of the Turks in the beleaguered
town were actually awful. Cold, disease and
famine decimated the ranks and reduced the
soldiers to living skeletons. To aggregate tile
sufferings there was no doctor, and no medicine
could be obtained.
