D-CKENS READINGS—FIFTH NIGHT. Last night Mr. Dickens repoated the reading of ‘‘A Christmas Carol’’ and “Bardell ve. Pickwick,’ Theae, it is known, were his first readings in New York on Monday night of last week, and they are the com: co ment of another series of four aights during the present week, There is little abatement of the desire to hear Mr. Dickens or interest felt in his teadiogs, for Stelaway Hall was flied with am audience tnat relished greatly the entertainment. Aa @ teader simply, Mr. Dickens probably is unri- valled. He appears to greater advantage no doubt in reading his owe compositions than be would in roading those of other authors, for having created the charac- tere, he knows exactly how they should be represented, Then, it is said, he has studied thoroughly every atti- tude and expression of his own face before « mirror in order to acquire the fame he has justly reached and tue dollars which he will doubtless earn, It has boen often said that the highest art is attained when art is not seen or is concealed, aud Mr, Dickens has pearly succeoded in that, for bis eacy manner, attitades, expression of the face and delivery are natural, aud just as be bas por- tray nature in bis works, ‘bere is, perbaps, no ieeaore author whose works are so easy to read as hia, ‘The style ja coprerrational—as Gm. talk in the every dag intercourse of iife.
