We published ill the last, and have also published in the present number of the Ban- ner, portions of ''.Mdrtin Chuszlecit,n a new work, by Charles Dickens, author of ''Ame- rican Notesn Ii is extracted from the month ly serial supplement to the New World-a periodical which every literary gentleman should take Martin Chuzzlewit is an enter taining work, and perhaps the best of Mr. Dickens's popular productions. When in America, he was almost deifed, and espe- cially in tho city of New Y ork, where there is much of servile imitation of every thing that is English. There was the great Boz ball, which cost thousands; and perhaps al the very next tenement, the philanthropist might have found starving wretches and mi serable mendicants Mir Dickens has ex- pended the whole force of his ridicule upon the New Workers, in the most amusing style; and we are glad that lie has done so, for they richly deserved it. Their obsequiousness to him was disgusting to every proud republican. This work and his American Notes ought to teach us, for almost the hundredth time, that to lavish countless attentions on foreigners, is not the way to gain their esteem or pre- serve our own dignity. There should be, to

 be sure, a proper degree of atiention-that

 which IS due from one gentleman to another;

 but to make lion of every one, the moment

 he sets his foot upon our shores, cheapen.
