MR FROUDE AND MRS MARY CARLYLE.
The controversy recently carried on in the Times, respecting Mr Carlyle's " Reminiscences," is not likely to terminato soon. Mr Fronde, wishing to act a generous part and to bring all bitterness to an end, sent unsolicited to Mrs Mary Carlyle a cheque for the handsome sum of £1500. This is believed to be the entire profits on the work that has occasioned so much ill-feeling among the historian's friends. It appears that Mrs Carlyle did not receive the cheque in the spirit Mr Froude could have wished, she, in acknowledging its receipt, indicating that she only thought she had got what really helcr-ed to ht>v. Mr Froude has been' leaally'advised that if the money is accepted In this way, some of the other friends may also claim a share in the profit!'. Under these circumstances ho ha 3 stopped payment of the cheque, and will wait the issue of the negotiations for a more friendly settlement of the dispute.
