I always think when I am with this class of persons, or when I hear them diacussed, of the dandy whom I heard say, years ago, in deprecation of real qriticiam upon that first of * Oulda’s” novels, “G@rinville Do Vigno: “But the fellow knows so much!” (Oulda” as then sup- posed to benman.) Here was tle sume cause and effect. If ever there wasa book full of gound and fury, that book tas, and fs, “Gran- ville De Vigne.” But there were plouty of puo- » ple who thought then that this sound and fury, this quoting from various learned and fumuus sources,—which was “Oulda’s” trick then, ‘whatever {tf may be notv—waa sure evidence of the profundity and gen- ius of the ‘ author, Anyhow, the anthor was certainly to be respected, he knew somuch.” The readers who vindicated their ‘taste in this way have, many of them, since Jearned better,—not by their own wisdom, but by the influence of the really cultivated, whose general judgment has been too sweeping for them. \Vhother the folluwers of TUG REY.

NICKOLSON rovlowed the circumstances of the murder, the trial, the evidence, and all tha elreumstances connected with Paatr's alleged visit to Provi- dence, Mr. Nickolson thought there was w painful doubt in the case, and be desired the Governor to take that doubt {ute consideration, By a combination of circumstances they wero unable, or had failed, to lave Mr, Downing identity Phuir until now; and his positive {dentifteation mado a doubt in the minds of many. ‘The convict was menaced with Judicial murder, Ie was now socure, and there was no dunger that justice would be cheated in the end if a stay was now granted, MM.
