"WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1858. Books and Authors, Among the ” literary announcements of our English publishers aro a few of some interest to American readers. Robert Bulwer Lyttou, only son of tho great novelist—who, as Lord Derby’s Colonial Secretary of State, is in a fail way of winning distinction as a great statesman a volume of poems, two or three yoSrs ago, entitled “ Clytemnostra.” His, nom dc plume is Owen Meredith, and tho hook Inis been so successful that a second edition ■is about appoariog. Ho has another volume in tho preßs,called'‘The Wanderer, and other Poems.” • 110 is twenty-six years old, and undoubtedly a young gentleman of promise. Seven years ago, when his uncle, Sir Henry Hulwer, wasin this country, llr. R. Bulwer Lylton was wellknown iu Wasiiington-society, .where, we bolievo, he did not make any. im .pvession of possessing any particular talent. -Macaulay, whose History of England seems ,liJ a state of suspended animation, is-not likely to advance it very rapidly by devoting I'isHitno to pot subjects in tho Encyclopedia ' jiHljinmca. Thero is a new semi-volume ■nearly ready, to which Macaulay has contri. .Imted the biography of William Pitt, tho -youpgor. We learn that to this same livraisan, .Sj. Uoidwm Smith (History Professor at Ox ifitji} gives a Lite of Sir Robert Peel; Palse ontology is written by Professor Richard •Owen; Physical Geograpliy by Sir John Herschell, the astronomer; Paloy and Pascal, liy Henry Rogers, the Edinburgh reviewer-, afnl Phrenology, by Dr. Poinlddon. Macau lay has already contributed articles on Addi son, Dr. Johnson, and others, to this Encyclo pedia. Additional volumes of his History ate scarcely to bo expected betbre March. Miss Muloeh is about publishing a new work or Action. Of tho female English novel writers this young lady is now the most papu lar. Instead of crushing her up, into a brief paragraph here, we shall give a personal sketch oi lier to-morrow. Dinah Maria Muloeh, al though she is in her thirty-third year, and not personally very fascinating, is sufficiently im portant, as a 6as bleu, to ho spoken of by her self.’ -By tho way, tho literary ladies of Paris have lately formed a regular Blue Stocking Clnb. About eighty years, associations thus called vietp very populur in London. Mr. Stilling, fleet, the naturalist, (as Boswell tolls the story,) always woro blue stockings, and his company was so muefi desidorated in female literary coteries, that these re-unions woro dull with outhis conversation. Hence, it used to ho remarked, by tho learned ladies, << We can do nothing, without the bine stockings.” Hence tho’ origin of the pbrnao. Onr fair correspondent “ Lyra,” who is ns angry with us 03 a fair and gifted boing can bo, becanae we have, not yet told her what -Charles Dickens reads in public, requests in formation, op the part, sho - says, “ of at least ono, thousand Philadelphia sho-admirers ol Longfellow’., new poem.” [Wo aro so fortu nately to have pleased her sense of justico by exposing tho systematic abuse of American authors in tho London Atheneum.’] TTo are asked la answer these questions: 1. Was John Addon a real character, as well as Miles Stuudish ? 2, -Had Miles Standish a wifo wlibse Chris tian name was Rose ? 3. Was ho a widower, and, if so, did ho marry again, with tho name of his second wife?.-, -. ..... 4. ff John’Alden was not a myth, Hi he really wed “the puritan maiden Priscilla,” and (•> this is the most interesting point of all/’ wo are told,) what was her maiden sur name? It is a pleasant and consolatory thought that wo can gratify a thousand-and-ono Philadel phian demoiselles, by answering this batch of interrogatories. Accordingly, John Alden’s name flourishes in the list of those who came over, in tho Mayflower to Plymouth Kock, which has been facetiously called « tho Blar noy-stouo of America. 2. Tho first wife of Miles Standish was named Rose. 3. His second wife was called Barbara. What her surname was, wo have not ascer tained. 4. Mrs. John Alden’s maiden name was Priscilla Muliins. Not ours tho fault that her patronymic was so vulgar, for Mullins, it must be owned, is not tho prettiest or most euphonic of sur names. We dure say that « the puritan maiden Priscilla” was by no means uuwUUng to change ]L To the English edition of “Tho Courrshifi,” a short preface has been annexed, by Mr. Longfellow* Speaking of Miles Standish, tho poet says: “Ho was twice married, and tho tradition has been handed down that, somo time after tho death of his first Wife, ho employed the friendly services of ouo John Aldeu to pay court in his name to a fair lady, who, however, toll in love with his ambassa dor, and Priscilla Mullins became tho wi(e of John Alden.” On this slight tradition, tho poet has built up his love-story. —Apropos of this, it may be well to state tlmt, though the Athenaeum so soundly rated and ridiculed the poottt—attempting even to annihilate the author by tho exquisite wit and raillery of calling hitn “Mr. Protracted-fellow”—other English journals hafo boon more favorable afid less unfair. The London Crilic t which stands.ijuitc as high as the Alhen'teum did in its ihofit palmy days, commences its review with the following remarks 1 “ Longfellow is, perhaps tho only American writer who stands to tho Eoglish reading public jn anything like tho same relation as that held by the roost popular living authors of Engluml— Cbarlep. Dickons, for exniuplflT-to the reading of tho United Statca. Preaoott, Bryant, Emerson,'Hawthorne,,each has a large circle of odmirors in this oonntry ; but Long fellow alone bus nchievod the not ©asily definable but most ompliatio and peculiar success, wbioh is embodied in the oppression ‘ popularity.’ lie has long been tho poet of our average ‘young ptoplo, J cultivated, though not in tho highest degree; for whom Tennyson is too enigmatic, and .the * spasmodists’ too irregular, turbulent, and mystical, 110 owes his success to his grace, polish, and melody ; to hi* ready intelligi bility t to the Innoebnt purity of his gontiment; to his skill In illustrating human notion and pas sion by. the introduction of natural imagery; and to his embodiment of avagno religious and othioal feeling 1q secular and pootio phrasoology weddod to harmonious numbers. It is in this last rcepoot that he has distanced tho British poet whom in other things ho most perhaps resembles, tho au thor of the ‘Pleasures of Hope.* Inferior to Camn bell in the gifts common to both—foebior. Its* ini ppsionod, and lovs oonoise—Longfellow lias parti aipted in tho spiritual influences widely dominant with tho now generation# Moralists may oondemn tho overstrained asceticism of ‘Evcoisior,’ and oritics may. laugh at the brokon metaphors of ‘ The Psalm oi Lifo;* butinpoonißlike thoso Longfellow hna known how to etrike a ohord over ready to vi brate in our modern breasts, and to which the tho pnst ago did not, and indeed could not, appoal.” This criticism, which shows discrimination as well as tnsto, may bo set oil’ against the “ slashing ” notice of tho assi-neum. Tho second volume of Mr. Grant White’s edition of Shnkspeare, now in course of pub lication by Little, Brown, & Co., of Boston, opens with roltiarks on tho title, dedication, Ohd other preliminary matter to'tho folio of 1623 and tho folio of 1632. Mr. White, whose editorial competency wo fully acknowledge, hero comments upon tho names of the princi pal actors in Sbakspearo’s plays, who were contemporary with tho poet, and gives somo biographical particulars of each. These de tails are full of interest, and not spun out. One of these actors was John Heminge, of whom it is predicated that “ ho was an impor tant person in the company.” Mr. White adds “ one statement in his will is ol conse quence, lroin its bearing upon this subject. He there stylos himsoif «citizen and grocer of Londonand although it is not improba ble that he may have become a tradesman af ter having abandoned the stage, still it is quite as probable that x ,he . had been Ored a grocer , aud that his connexion with tho company was rather of a business thqji a professional na ture.” Mr. White’s,speculations on this,'head, tho point of which we.huyo italicised, do not ex hibit his usual sagacity. One of. the privi leges of tho City of London, conferred by charter in the olden time, was that none but citizens could keep shops or be in business, within tho precincts, without belonging to one of the ciry-compauios. It was,cheaper for a man «to take up bis livery,” or freedom in a company, and thereby become free, than to pay tho fine leviable on him as «< a foreigner.” Jt is probablo that with this view, Heminge had taken up his livery in. “ the worship company of - grocers,” or that • may ,havQ been a, “ freeman of that : com pany, by' inheritance from his father. The r fAct of :his . being « citizen and gro cer,” affords scanty ground. for believing that he ever sold.a pound of sugar; no] more than the fact of Lord Derby’s being “ citizen and goldsmith” (which'he is) indicates that ho ever wrought in a jeweller’s workshop. Mr. Wire, Lord Mayor Elect of London, although a lawyer, is “ citizen and licensed victualler,” though ho certainly never whtered a cask of brandy nor sold, p pot of porter in his life. , The actual mistakes made by Mr. White, on what promises, to bo a very complete and of Sbakspeare, are so few, that he can afford to have the above miscon ception pointed out. Illinois Politics. Governor Wise:, of Virginia, having been requested to address the people of Illinois du ring tho pendency of the present exciting canvass in that State, declines the invitation in the subjoined letter, while taking occasion to express his hearty sympathy with Senator Douglas and the principles for which, as a Democrat, he is contending under circumstan ces of peculiar interest: ' .

As you Btate in your letter, t did in that conversation speak of Senator Douglas in highand warmer ms I said, in substance, that the people of Illinois little knew how milch they realty owed him ; that be hnd had the oourtiga and the patriotism to take an elevated, juat, and independent position on the Le enmnton question, at the sacrifice of interesting social relations, as well os of old party ties and associations, and in defianoe of the' powfer ond. patronage of an ongry Administration, supported by a dominant p vrty, and disbursing a revenue of some $BO 000,000 a year; that for this noble eon-' duot he bad bean almost overwhelmed with denun ciation; that the attacks made upon him in the debates of tho Senate wore frequent, personal, and fierce; that throughout the almost entire session' ho must’have felt the consciousness that he was in daily danger of being'so assailed in debate as to force him into altercations and quarrels that/might in their consequences involve the loss’ of hisf honor or tbo hazard of his life; that, notwithstanding all this, ho had kept his course steadily and firmly; and that throughout, the whole struggle he'has borne himself gallantly; that there wasj as it seemed to me, a heroism in his course that de served approbation, if not applause. ’ ' j In the abovo statement I have rather' confined, myself to those particulars of our conversation sug gested by your letter, than attempted to detkil'the whole of that conversation, which embraced muoh more, but the above statement oontains, as well as I recolleot, the snbstanoo of our conversation, and wbatevor else was said was in accordance with it Tb s conversation with you, sir, formed but a part of many other conversations of a like character, which I had on tho same subjeot during tho last session of Congress. 1 In these conversations, I did. among other things, express'my high opinion and appreciation of the conduct of Judge Douglas on the Locompton question. I expressed it fre quently, freoly and openly, and was careless who might hear or repeat it. Under theSa circum stances, I do not feel that it wonld beconte 'me to object, or that I have any right to obieot, to* your speaking of our conversation, when I have myself So freqnontly and so publioly deolared the ’whole substance of it. 1 I have thus answered your lotter, as I felt my self bound in duty to do. I must add, however, that I do not wish to be an officious intermeddler in your eleotion, or even to appear to be so. and I. therefore, reqnest and hope that whenever you have occasion to speak of our conversation at Washington, or of this letter, you would do me the justice to csplain, and to acquit me of any suoh voluntary intermeddling, or of the presump tion of seeking to obtrude myself or my sentiments upon the ittoution of tho pooplo of Illinois. I am, with great respect, yours, Ac., ! J. J. Crittenden. T. Lyle Dickey, Erq. Cold Comfort. The Charleston Mercury —one of the, few newspapers in the South which cordially] sus tain the Administration in its war upon Judge Douglas, and a fair representative of tho ex tremists who bitterly warred upon the j just Kansas policy which Mr. Bucuanan first es tablished, and demanded that Governor Walker should be deserted—spealcs this of the Congressmen who, after having betrayed their constituents by their votes on the! Le compton Constitution and in favor off the English bill, afterwards repudiated its jpro visions when canvassing their districts. The Mercury says: “ Tbo other half—being a mere fraotidn o the North, represented by aomo. twenty-four or thirty members in the House of Representatives, apd a half dozen in the Senate—were'supposed to be sound. They were bapraised in the. South the gold purified—martyrs ready for the stake-r-angels in their holiness, daimtlefc-ness and purity, dldihed iu the white garments of the Demooratio faith: They go back to tho people armed.with truth} the whole power <>f the Administration} and the great isau'es of the Union to support them Alas! they did noteven mnke a fight. They 'went dowh on their knees at tho first shout of Aholitiopism.iand crawled and prayed for pardon arid meroy, With abundant promises of futaro atonement They forthwith. »a one man, from Maine to Kansas, gave up the Kansas Conference Aet, and pledged them selves to vote for its violation on the first motion of tho Abolitionists in Congress.’ 1 ! Don’t Like It.—The Kentucky Statesman speaks thus of the uppointment of Jone& as Minister to Austria: ‘ “Tho telegraph rumors that the President;has softened the late- defeat of Mr. J Glfinoy Jones, to his laoorato-'i feelings by his appointment to the mission at Vienna. This is, we believe, the sixth or seventh diplomntio mission bestowed as a' re ward to tho Pennsylvania Democracy for their ovoithrovr. England, China, Romo, Belgium, Den maik, Au J *riit, and perhaps another, are now!the asylum of Per-nsylvaniaDomocrats Another such rout as that they suffered on Tuesday last would rcqu’ro the vacation of all the missions in utid South America to furnish diplomatic hospitals for tbo wounded in battle. Tho Austrian mission, us tbo roward of defeat, is rather a temptation to a candidate for Congress to let his election go by default.” “The liUtly Is the Least Part of Herself.” (For Tho Pr<*M.] In an old novel, called “ Charon, or tho Ferry Boat: A Vision,” published in 1729, tho Ferry man is roproscotod ns very busy, in cori&qaenoo of a sickly season, which had swept away many people. Numbers of the deceased aro standing upon the shore, and each has brought something of the goods mo3t valued in life ) oven these, of course, they are compelled to abandon, before taking their places in the boat. “In the midst of all this bustle,” says tho story, “there was one inoident ridioulous enough. A lady, whe had stayed for some time, and seen' the fate of all the rest, thought she would vory submissively prepare for her voyage; and therefore, quitting a huge wardrobo which sho had brought with her, and stripping herself of her jewels and of a very fine brooade gown whioh she had worn at a hall at court, whore sho caught tho oold of whioh she died, desired loavo only to he transported in her hoop pottiooat.
