"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: ' .

TWO CENTS.
The Crittenden Letter*
Judge Dickey, an old-line Whig, recently
delivered a speech afc Decatur, Illinois, in sup
port of Senator Douglas, in the course of
which he read the following letter from Hon*
John J. Crittenden : .
Angus , 1858. •
! My Dear StR: I reoeived, somo aays*ago, your
j letter of the 19th of lastmonth,*in which you state,
i the substance of a cotivcr-alion betweon us, in ie
i lation to Judge Douglas, as said to have taken
! place in April last, at' the oity of 'Washington..
} You ask ifyonr statement of it is dorreot, and for
my permission to you to speak of it, privately or
publicly, as ooc >s»on may prompt you.
I remember well the conversation to which you
allude, and tho substance of it.* It occurred at
Washington during the last session of Congress,
nnd most probably in April, though I cannot-say,
that I remember the month. ' Your statement of
that conversai ion,' with very slight exceptions, oor
responds.witb.my reoolleotion ofit. 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., !

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.”

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. But Charon oalled ont to Mer
cury, and said it would fill his boat, and there
would bo no room for any othor passengers. Upon
this she drew a string, and very dexterously slip
ped off her hoop, and, coiling it up into as narrow
a circle as sho oould, clapped it under her arm.
The wholoorowd raisodalaugh at this expedient;
but it proved unsuccessful, for Mercury told her
sho must be content to leavo both her hoop and her
potticoafc. She was forced to snbmit. I kept my
oyo on hor for some time, bat the momont she was
stripped she took npso little room that she seemed
to vanish into nothing.”
