"East Lynne," by Mrs. Wood, has been exceedingly popular.--"Lady Audley's Secret," by Miss Bradden, is described as a "sensation novel," and has had an immense sale. Among the favorite novelists of the time, Bulwer has published his "Strange Story;" Wilkie Collins (author of the "Woman in White") his "After Dark;" G. A.
