Knight's Edition of Shaxsperb. To the student of Shakspere, whether actor or scholar, Mr. Chas. Knight's edition of the works of the great Bard is a well of delight. The work is rich in historical and legendary elucidation in explanatory notes; in the clearness and perspicuity with which the plays have been edited in the unrivaled beauty of its embellialimenta and typographical execution.

There are other character istics of the work which will challenge the admiration of the student and critic. Appended to each play is a collection of the readings which disputed lines have received, together with criticisms thereupon. Prefacing each play oomes the legend or the historical incidents on which it is founded. Thus is' afforded to the reader the most ample and exhaust ive compilation of authorities, with which to assist him in the elucidation of intricate texts, and in the discovery of The work is from the press of Messrs.

According to the Judge's version, that eld and reliable family journal has for the last two years been deriving much of its financial support from Kellogg, and other prominent officials. It does.net appear to have belonged to any body, in particular, and, what with its embarrass ments with the courts and its pecuniary obligations to the chief men of the Iiad ical party, its sphere of jourhalisfio iisefulness must have been as vague and undefined as its title If this suit goes on much longer, the community may discover the family secrets ol the 'Picayune, which would leave the genuine creditors of that bedraggled establish. ment a very faint prospect; of recovering their money through its profits. 1 Evening Times, May 6. i The jmblio will readily understand the animus which dictated the above paragraph.

The Times is vain enough to imagine itself the! rival, of; the Picayune, and weak" enough to hope that it can injure the reputation of a. paper so well estoblislied in the pub lie confidence by the publication of the ex parte statements of an interested party." is iore difficult to conjecture the motives which prompted" Judge Alex. 4 Walker to appear before a court pf equity, with bos yery remarkable affidavit emphatically and oompletely contra dieted by the testimony, of others, the records of other courts and his own written statements and It is true that the Judge is out of employment, but that fact affords no satisfactory solution of the puzzle for whatever may be. the result' of the ease now pending, his ituation in that respect is not likely to be ir the least alleviated. It has been suggested to us that her has" probably been influenced by feelings of personal' emiuty the "late A.

M. Holbrook, formerly editor and proprietor of this paper but there is no proper reason why such should be the case. We believe that Mr. Holbrook always paid tha judge the full Yalue. of bis services, and that he only parted with him because he considered those services no longer It was a question between employer and employee and we cannot understand how a man of Judge Walker's breadth of view can allow himself to be influenced by a consideration so essentially small.

It is well known to the public that Judge Walker did at one time interest' himself in a' certain association styled the "Herald Company." That company was composed of himself and. other unemployed journalists of immense capacity, but, unfortunately, of limited resources. They and he started a little paper and called it the "Herald" we forget now its precise views and policy, but our recollection is, that somehow or ther it failed to meet with anything approaching even remotely an en thusiastic popular support. It wasv we are informed, upon the ragged edge of utter bankruptcy the time Picayune was VoffeTecl. for sale by the New Orleans; Printing Company.

With i the instinct of rats abandoning a tanking ship, the members of the Herald Com pany made all haste to 'take refuge upon sound and floating timber. They bought the Picayune at sheriffV sale, giving a twelve months' bond for $20,000, the purchase price, with Joseph Hernandez as security. They afterwards sold it to the late A. M. Holbrook, one of the joint stockhold ers, in consideration of the assump tion by him of the bond given for the property, and he conveyed the title to the New Orleans Hcaye Priirtinff Company, a company, composed exclusively of the stockholders of the Herald Company, retaining himself a controlling interest.

In spite of all the aid "afforded it by the powerful pen of Judge Walker and his confreres of the Herald, the Picayune lost money.

They! never gave one dollar to buy it they never paid one dollar to, maintain it. Theyt aay that the property is now worth $70,009.

"Does he imagine that he is more competent to manage it than its present conductors are. If so, why did he not give some evi dence of his capacity at the time he was himself a member of the Picayune staff We are forced to the conclusion that the Judge overrates himself.
