A countryman once visited a picture gallery, and was shown a painting by Morland, representing three pigs eating out of one trough. His critical faculty being appealed to, he said, " Well, they are plaguy like pigs; but the artist is wrong, as I ne\ er yet saw three pigs eat together unless one had his foot in the trough." The late Mr Forster was possessed of the MSS. of all of Mr Dickens's novels, with the exception of " Our Mutual Friend." That MS. was presented by Mr Dickens to Mr Dallas, the critic, the author of " The Gay Science," but is now in the possession of Mr George Childß, of Philadelphia. Mr Elarvey, of St Jameß's street, possesses the MSS of " A Christmas Carol," and Mr Bentley possesses the MSS. of the early stories written for Bentleifs Miscellany.
