HARPER'S NEW MONTHLY.

  The May number of this attractive periodical has reached us. It contains several very interesting articles. John S.C. Abbott pursues his "Life of Napoleon Bonaparte," and continues to invest the hero of his choice with new attractions. His descriptive powers are great—a wide field is before him. We understand that Mr. Abbott is now gone to Paris, to make researches into facts connected with his present literary enterprises. We admire his perseverance, as well as his enthusiasm.

  The great attraction of Harper, at the present time, is "Bleak House," by Charles Dickens. The second part of this rich and entertaining story appears in the May number of Harper, and will appear in our paper of the two next weeks. We make no apology to our readers for devoting our fourth page to "Bleak House." To those among them who have read "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN," (and who has not read it ere this?) we commend this attractive story of the most popular of English writers.
