The Careerof a Rising [ Man . A Novel . By M . Versteb , author of " Arthur Clifton . " Newby . —We had intended giving an extract from this volume , but are prevented . It is written in a bold and spirited style , and is remarkable for a vast deal more talent than usually finds its way into a fashionable novel . The story itself is ,
