The Daily JSTews MONDAY.MORNING, MAY 14, 1866. IilTERATlHE. LKS Ti-VAiLi-uns DI LA MIR.-Victor Hugo. Edition Upeclalo pour les Etats Unis. Sold by John RusaoU, Ring street. If tho oritical question, in regard to M. HUGO'S work, only woro as to ita rank in tho particular class of worka to which it bolongs, our taek would bo easy. As a soueatiou novel, its merita aro patent. AB compared with the writers iu the Po lice Gazette, or with Mies BRADDON, or with others of that school, ita author is ? maeter of bia art. Poet and dramatist, profoundly verBed in tho acience of human nature, having for external na ture the oye of a paiuter, anil over bia lauguago a degree of command that ouables him to repro duce at will the conceita of hia gorgeoua and ver satile fancy, bo combinea tho moat important .qualities of the novelist. "Lea Travailloura de la Mer" fully BuaUina the reputation he f* unod by 4,Notro Darno" and previous works. The style ia .brilliant, and every page aparkloa with epigram, not unworthy of his great countryman, the author of tho "_a_m"" Tho deacriptiona of natural scenery are unequalled by anything ive know of in onr own language. The account of the ma line cave, into whioh the hero, Gilliatt, doacende, ia a. marvellous feat of word-painting. By the power of vvordu the ocean, in calm and storm, ia ever bet?re the reader's mind; its broozos Idea bia cheek, *nd its solemn voice ia al way B Bounding in his ear,.' telling of the infinite and eternal. The drainait? jwraom-, or at loaat tho throe principal onoe, are natural, distinct and interesting. Lethiorry, the seaworn, shrewd. ?ucco8aful Bailor; Gilliatt, the g?nerons, bravo, droamy lover; Deruohette, "ravissante fdle du paysn -innocent, playful and tender-are all charming creations. The opening chapter, in which -thoso characters aro introduced, and their humble homes described, aro the plca eantest of the book, and lurnish ample proof of M. HUQO'B ability to attain bucceoB iu tho highest departments of his art. Bot if we muet admit the ?xcollonco of M. HUGO'S work, aa measured by his standard of art, wo are obliged to find fault with the standard it self. To us the French theory of the art of ile .? tion appears fundamentally wrong. Trio little girl, who ia represented by Punch bartering- with tho newsmonger for a paper, "with at least two murders and an elopement," ia typical of tho audience to which the French noveliat addresses himself. Tho horrible, the _arvellous, and too often the limpoesible, are the weapons of his dreadful trade. The great ?Greek critio declared ,pity to be the final causo of tragedy, and'tragedy is the most solenn and painful dopartmont-of art. Tho French romance writer finds pity a co_mon placo emotion, and is uot saiialled unless ?ho has conjured up Wonder, disguat and horror. He is the morbid anatomist of art. Disease and corrup tion-physical, moral, social-ai e his favori- t?p ica; the cancered breast attracts him, in 1rs cha i xaoter of art-t, more than ?the rosy cheek; the, agonies of the.*- nvict more?than the joy of the bridegroom. His previous works, among others, "Notre , Dame," and "Le dernier jour dur rondamiie,"' ?gave the admirera of M. HwJO'B great abilities ?oause to regret that he had not; embraced those correct principlea-of his art which are alone want ing to hia complete success in ita highest sphere. His preaent work gives evidence that the?ixty fonr years, which ?have not impaired his powers, j bave not improvad his judg- ent. Euowledge .may have come to him, but wisdom has lingered. The scene in winch his new talo ia laid, its ?machinery and its plot, are rich in the pro-ise and possibilities of a great .romance, but the author turns his hand from the diamond whioh ia within his reach, to pick up a gandy pebble. ?Sad ho restricted himself to a picture of life In the islands of the channel, of the humble fortun?e of the Guernsey cotters, of the loves, cares, and joys of Gilliatt and Deruohette, he might have produced a work that would hare ranked with ..'Hermann and Dorothea," or *_aul and .*_ .ginia." But his inch--.tion to the thanmaturgy ?of art was too strong to ?be resisted, and in consc <quence "Les Travailleurs de la Mer" deserves only that credit which ia due to pre-eminence in - ?the senaational school. , In Bupport of our criti-em, we would refer the j reader of this book to Clubin'a visit to the: Gaeressardo in St. Malo, to the murder of the ?"garde-cote" by Rantaine, to the horrible death! of dulan (who was eaten up by tho krakon, not' "devil-ash," as HAUPEU'S translation haa it)-to the combat of Gilliatt with the cepbalopod, and to the final suicide of Gilliatt. A loathsome .kennel, a wanton murder, a nauseating act of cannibalism, and a theatrical suicide, make up a I ghastly feast of horrors. And it must be noticed that these inoldonta are introduced without u/jces ?ity, and are related con amyre. The murder of the garde-cote does not assist the plot; as regards the demands of the tale it is gratuitous; at is forced upon the reader, and he _ not spared ?ho eight of the victim's gore. It is not enough for bim to know that Clubin has been devoured piece meal by the cephalopod, but he must examine tho monster's maw, and then inspect the well-gnawed akeleton. The fate of the hero, Gilliatt, would be more cad and touching If it ii ero less theatrical and un natural. Finding that the "ravissante Jille du pays," Deruohette,-the "frail bark on whioh is wrecked hin bankrupt soul"-loves another, he promote? bor marriage to bia rival, and assista her in embarking on the brig Cashmere, which ia about to sail for England. He then takes bia seat on a rook which be knows will be covered at high tide; watches the happy lovera on tho vessel's - deck in each other's arms, and as the white sails sink beneath the horizon the wavo washes over hiB Lead, and his brave heart is forover stilt. There is pathos in the despair of Gilliatt, but we oannot see why tho reader is tortured with a death ecene, that would not have beon unworthy of the Holy Office. Thoso whoee taste has boen formed in the Eng lish school of fiction, oannot appreciate those por tions of M. HUGO'S work which evidently give its author the most satisfaction. Murder, suicido, shipwreck and oombata a V outrance with imagi nary marine monstera, are no longer to our taste. If there are loathsome atcwa in populous oltioa we avoid them as we do executions, leaving both to the police or HABPEB'S Weekly. The painful ace nea and iucidonta of life aro BO many that we do not desire to have them multiplied by fictitious reproduction. The modern historian cloees the door upon tho unhappy Edward in tho banda of his torturers ; the dramatist drops the ourtain . that wo may not aeo the asp doiDg hia deadly work upon the lovely queen. The faithful (oven if idealized) representation of the overy-day lire of aooioty is the aim of tho best aohool of modern novelists ; ita careo and joys como noarest to the heart, as ita problems most attract the attention of modern readers. The thaumaturgical ma chinery of romaneo has been hid aside, and tho j- asters of the art of prose romaneo are now con ceded to be thoso who have made the leaat nee of the extraordioary or preternatural. Had M. Huao profited more by the example of those master pieces of English fiction, whose production it hu beon tbo privilego and delight of this generation to witneBB, he might Invre given to tho world a work that would have better doaorred, than dora " LOB Travailleurs de la Mer," tho praieo of being a great novel. Wo cannot boro dwell cither for praiee or blamo upon tho details of thin work; noither, on the ono band, upon ita humor and epigrammatic powor, nor on tho other, upon ita occasional in comprehensibility and irrovcronco, not to eay blasphemy. Wo muht close by recommending it, with all its faulte, to our reader?, who, if thoy do not And it as satisfying as the groat works of their own tongue, will at least enjoy ila refreshing con trast to tho worn-out horrors or Misa ?IIMUDN or the latter-day platitudes of CHAULES BRADE and 11 KM tv KINGSLEY. Mr. JOHN RUSSELL furnishes the work, both in tbo original and in a translation, under the title "Toilers of tho Sea." Till. UOJMIIAICaDIUKlVT OF VALPARAISO. From La Cr?nica, a Spanish journal published in New York, wo translate tho following communi cation from tho Admiral who bombardod Valpa raiso to tho Spanish Minister at Washington : Headquarters of her Catholic MajcBty'e squad ron in the Pacific, on board tbo Nmnanoia, in tho Bay of Valparaiso, the 2d day of AprU, 186G. To her MajeBty's Envoy Extraordinary and Ministor Plenipotentiary at Washington : Excellency : In order that your Excellency may form an oxaot idea of the ooourrencoa of the last fortnight, I havo the honor of plaoing before yon a summary of the most recent ?events, regretting that want of time should prevent my sending copies of the de spatches I have addressed to lier M ti je? ty'?* Gov ernment. On the 17th of last month I was invited to dine hythe American ?Commodore Rodgers, onboard hiB flag-Bbip. During dinner, the commodore ex pressed ardent wishes for the termination of our difficulty with Chile, and suggested that,*waro.I clothed with full powers, the attainment of-euch an object might, in bis opinion, be accomplished. Upon being informed that I had the neceesary powerB. be said he would immediately communi cate with bis Minister, and seo if their united efforts could not secure peace. A few daya after I received tbo visit of the Com modore and of Gen. Kilputriok. Both seemed animated by the boat wiahes, and invited mo to join them in a conference, which, though of a private and confidential character, might perhaps result in tha tormination of tho war. Upon my acceptance of the proposal, the Arae ricau Minister aaid to me, tliat dt hough tho con ference WAB strictly confidential, the Miuistor of Foreign Afiitirs of tho Rcpublio bad notice of the ?top that was now being taken, and that lie (the American Minister), aB well as tho Commodoro, who had taken the initiative in-the matter, wero very much interested in arriving at tbo object they had in ?view. The Commodoro made some -remarks to show the inconveniences which be thought existed for Spain in tho prolongation of this war, and giving me to understand that an unforeseen obstacle would be niet-with if the bombardment of Valpa raiso were attempted, he proposed apian for an arrangement which he considered equally honor able for beth belligerents. In accordance with this plan, tliero should be a ceseation of hoatfli ties, my credentials presented, and a new investi gation made of the different grie-vanceB against Chile. Aa an earnest of peace, there should tiret bo a reciprocal saluto of one-and-twenty guns, in the following manner : the flags of Spain and Chile hoi?tod at the mast-heads ?sf tho English and Amercean flag-ships, should be saluted by the g una of tho two Bquadrons, and in thin salute a hilean font and the 8panish Bqcadron should join in auch manner that, with the noise and tbe smoke, it ?hould never be known ?by whom the first gnn hall __ fired. An your excellency may readily ?appose, I re jected this arrangement, acknowledging, however,! the good inteistion that had suggested it, and stating that the instructions ol my Government; were so positive that, notwithstandueg any diffi-j ouliieu I ?right have to overcome, ano should I go' to the bot-toui <of the .Pacific in tbo attempt, I must have from-Chile the satisfaction which was due to us. Moved nevertheless by ?a sincere de sire for reconciliation, I would take upon myself the immeoee responsibility of not requiring any other Batirifaction than that contained in the ar*i rangement proposed? by, England and Trance, and accepted ivy Spain,, to which I would only add the restitution of the Covadonga, with itaflaga, arms and crew, in return for the prizes and .prisoners I bad in my power, ii at the sume time gave notice that if, by eight oiclock on the mornicg of the 27th, I Bhould not ?have received an answer, ac cepting the terms of this arrangement, I would address a communication to the diplomatie corpa, fixing a day, at the expiration of which I would open fire on Valparaiso. Both the minister and the commodore found tbe torms honorable Goa. Kilpatrick said bo would exert himself to his ctmost to have them.accept ed by Chile, adding that, howevor strange it might appear, it wau bia predecessor, Mr. Helson, who bad most etronuoosly opposed any coneeseion t J Spain, BO much so that unpleasant words had already passed between them. On tbe following day Gen. Kilpatrick left for t?a-tinco, not without hope, and the ?promise, given of hid own aoaord, .that ne would let me .know the result of his nego tiation. On the 27th, ?before ejgvht o'clock ?in the morn ing, General Kilpatrick again carne .on board of my ship, with Cumuiodoro Rodgers. His efforts had boen iu vain. The reply of the ?Chilean Gosr on-jtnent was that, in so snort a time,, it was not possible to assemble and consult tbe accr?dite?. representatives of the allied republic*. In con-] sequence of this reply, I stated to the Minister of{ the .United States that, aa ?I had previously to--1 formed him, I would within an hour send bim the,; promised communication. _ie commodore then told me more clearly ?.hat tho.un foresee?: obstacle would be, to which he had alluiied in our former interview. He said that probably he would nut be able to remain a pasaiao spectator of the destruc tion of a defenceless oity? that perhaps be might' .be compelled to oppose it by force; and that he thoughc the commander of the naval toreos of .Great Britain would join him for the same pur pose. I repli? d that I should be extremely ?orry to liollide with him after the warm Interest he had shown for Spain and her agenta; but that such consideration would not be aufflcient to prevent my executing the ordera of my government. The oommodone approved of my resolution, and eaid to me, on taking leave, that whatever might be the conseqnences of the conflict, I moat ever be assured of bia friendship and esteem; the aame words were repeated by General Kilpatrick. One hour after this interview I sent my commu nication to the American Minister, In order that through him it might reach the other members of the diplomatic corpB at Santiago. Od the 29th March I received the visit or Admi ral Denman, who told me that be bad been informed by the Amerioan Commodore of my in terview? with the United States Minister; that the .laws of war did not authorize the destruction of defenceless cities, inhabited almost exclusively by foreigner?; that it would be impossible for him to be a passive spectator of such a deed; that he would have to adopt measures, the extent of .Ahich he could not tuen define, and that he begged me not to commence operations until tbe arri val of the mails from Europe. My answer waa that as to the question of ri ht, the decision be longed to my Government-, but that as an officer I should obey my orders; and that, whatever might bo tbe attitude assumed by the naval forcea then in tbe bay; however reluctant I might be to come to such nu extremity; however formidable those forces might be, DO earthly consideration should detain me /rom the discharge of my duty, The Admiral grasped my hand and loft me with tho same assurances rf friendship and esteem as in the oaso of tbe Amerioan Commodore. On tbo Hamo day, tho 20th, I was onoe moro visited by the American Commodore, accompa nied by lue Secretary of Legation, with the appa rent purpoao of handing the roply to my commu nication. Ou doing so, he said that he had in tended t> oppose the boinuardnif nt of Valparaiso by force, because bo waa at the tiran convinced that Spain could not lawfully do ao, and that Chile waa in tho right; but that subsequently he had arrived at tho conclusion that rial-lit. moderation, ami digniiy were on the sido of Spain; wherefore ho not only should not oppose anything, but that his snips would move <?ut of the way at eight o clock in the morning of the 81st. ^ Ho insisted, nevertheless, in proposing another i ?' w^ioh 'w*8 ,h-t I should write a manifest, stating that since nothing could prevent the bom bardment, I would desist aud spare V-hut also. Tho commodore thought that auch aa act of gen erotity would be appreciated by the Government or Chile, which would then deolaro its readiness to accede to my demands. My reply was, that although by doing so I would ?nour the heavieat reaponasibelity, gtiiL for th? sake of peace, I would accept tho proposition, provided a member of tho Chilean Government would guarantee to mo per sonally, in tho presence of tho American MiniHtor, that my proceeding would be appreciated and re ciprocated. Tho proposal of tim commodore was nevertheless rudely rejected by Chile, and another one advanced in its stead, so ridiculous that it has only aerved aa a laughing-stock to tbo Eugliah and American commanders. The idea waa that a sort of international duol ?hould bo enacted, and this in terms indecorous and oven iusult iug. It being assumed tbat I dared not seek thom at Onloe, they proposed that wa ?hould meet with equal forces, tho determination and equalization ot which should bu left to Commodore Rodgers. The result of tho duel was to bo tho termination of tho war, and to tliiB no other de claration wliataocver waa added, i ho proposal, I again asy it, waa simply ridiculous, and in that light it has been viewed by every one, without perhaps excepting tho very person? who originat ed it. I consequently authorized tho Amerk-uu Commodore who boro tho dicpatch to say, in my behalf, that auch propoeals deserved no answer. It ia gratifying to mo to bo able to elate that both tho Commodore, and tho English Admiral approv ed my anawer; tho lattor was BO diagustou that, losing bia habitual reserve, lie said to me "Sir, tho letter you bavo just received ia in itself a sufficient justification for tho act you aro about to accomplish. Your conduct lins been most digni fied and proper, and your generosity has met no responso from tho govornmont of this couutrv." Previously to thoso incidents, on tho 27th, 1 had in Uko manner been called upon by tho represen tatives of England and France. Instead of pre senting themselves in the guiso of friendly ne gotiators, aud strictly neutral, theso gentlemen showed thomsolvca, on the contrarv, altogether partial to Chile. They contended that tho brief delay granted to the government for tho accept ance of tonas, would make any resolution appear as dictated under tho preaauro of force ; that suf ficient time had not been allowed for consultation with the allies ; that, in fine, a longer delay should bo conceded. They concluded by observing that they had strong reasons to loar for the lives of tho Spaniards at present in 8ai>tiago, should the bombardment tako place. To sll these remarks 1 answered, that it waa six months since tbe war had commenced, and that the governmont of Chile, who now complained of the short space al lowed, had never up to tho present moment made any proposal for au arrangement ; that the terms offorod by mo were precisely those of their own governments of England and France ; and that in the event of so savage a butchery taking place, it should bo visited with new and terrible rigor. The int-view terminated with inurl- of mutual cold ness. On tho 13th, I recoived from the aamo gentle men a plan for an arrangement, in which they proposed tho ceaaatioti of houlilities, tho with drawal of my vessels, and tho presentation of my credentials, all of which wero, as your Excellency perceives, totally inadmissible. At eight o'clock, on tho ninrnini*' of tho Slat, tho foroign vessels of war had witbdrawu from my front. At tho said hour of eight, the two guua woro fired that wero to servo as an ?inuouncoment that one hour lator 1 would opeu ou tho city. At a quarter pact nine, tbo frigate Bianca commen ced firing at the government warehouses and a small fort, and waa immediately followed by tbo frigato Villa do Madrid. Meanwhile tho schooner Vencedora directed her guns a?uiiist the Inten dencia, and the frigate Resolution ap*aiuet the railroad terminus; all of which buildings wore government property. At tho end of two hours the warehouse* were reduced to ashes; the fort was considerably damaged, aa vero also the In tendencia and railroad terminus; and a portion of the city was set on fire by a grenade ricochetting from the lutendoncia and exploding in a chemical laboratory. Tho firing was suspended at half past eleveu. It ia as yet inipc-ible to estimate the damages. The Chilean Government had decided on mak ing no resistance, and consequently ordered that not a gun should be fired. It was confidently expected that tho forces of England and the United ?States would oppose the bombardment. The property stored in the Government ware houses, and entirely consumed by tho firing, be longed to Frenchmen and Germana. The Government,had opposed the removal of goods by the foreign-merchants.

Ward Beecher has not a little puzzled his friends and admirers by the mariner be has treat ed publio affairs in soma lectures he has delivered this spring in Brooklyn and Philadelphia, and Wendell Phillip??-aa more than once taken his friend and brother to task for kicking ont of the traces. We haveireceived the following pen and ink sketch of thia singular personage, and doubt nut the likeness will be at once recognized : .i?ome time ago I went? to hoar Mr. Beecher, and f-*the first time saw aud heard a celebrity who has Ion? oxcitcd i_v .curiosity. I confesa that I have not been more agreeably surprised by tho mud ter, than moro disagreeably surprised by tho mauner of a ?speaker iu a long time. His decided indorsement of the President's course, his praise of the Southern people, and hie earnest appeals for the immediate admis.ion of their St-? - J without the concession of negro suffrage, surpciaed, confounded and disgusted his friendo, who loudly and deeply damn him as littlo better than a Copperhead. But I have never met a pub lic speaker who so little marita (he high reputa tion which he has achieved.

"We'jster, Clay, Prest ?u, .Hay ne, :Fugh, Yancey, ft-rwin, and hundreds of .lesser lights whom 1 have met, would, upon bia own field, have im a-asurably excelled him. While calmly listening to bia commonplace illt_t_attona, -H familiar flames and apothegms, his material ?wows of life, bia appeals to our coarser instincts, and making his lias a sailor would say) da_t>-tny-eyo air, and his how-vow manner, I saw __d appreciated the sonn?es of his popularity with ?ho half-educated. wide-awake, grasping, jostling, bustling and money-making .crowds who go to hear him, and who, from their very pursuits aud instincts, de mand ia a pres-o her a man wfc s se eye-teeth are cut in deviltry, ead whose smarm_H, apparent in his manner and ?language, gives promise of out witting tho devil, though he cannot cuido to Heaven. His pulpit style (for I am told ?these speeches were specimens of his mauner as a Chris tian teacher) seems borrowed from a distant view of small stump oratory, and I certainly have ?vit noBBod it more acceptably exhibited upon many stumps in our well-canvassed western counties."
