The Doctor was arrested lale on Wednes day, and bad not given bail last evening. Tbe aflldavit made in the case Uv Mr. Q,ulmby develops his supposed cause ot uclton, as it does, perhaps, also, lu part, the nature or the answer lie will Interpose In the proceed lng commeuced against him by his wife. He alleges that he married Gertrude A. Reynolds, his present wile, in this city, on the 17th clay of August. 1803, and resided with her as her husband until the 8th day of November last, having issue of the marriage one boy, now nearly three years of age. He says that during June, of I860, the defendant, a physician, came to this city to re side, taking up bis lodglntzs at the Orient House, In this city, in the vicinity of plulntltrs residence. They became acquainted soon alter this, it is alleged, and some time In the month of August, 1806, having confidence in the profes sional skill and integrity ot Dr. Fuller, he eua Vloyed him as family physician. Dr. Fuller Is represented to be a married man, and the father of two children. Taese, the plaintiff says, came on a vilt to Chicago lu September or October, 18(tl, remaining hero until tbe following March, when they left, as bis best information is, having once since visited here tor a short period of time. Mr. Quimby states that during October his wife being In ill health, Dr. Fuller commenced tr eat ing her professionally, continuing to be her physician, and lu such capacity frequently calling at defendant's house, until the lsth day ot October last. During this time he ha J confi dence In the physician's honor and integrity, as well as in bis professional skill, not until subsequently, and lhatjvery lately, beootnlng aware that her affections had beeu alienated from blm, though during the last portion 6f tbe period her coDdp.?t seemed strange to Ulna. On the 8th day of November, lid proceeds to unv his wife, on her own accord and without bis corisent, as welt as without a cause, but at tbe instigation of Fuller and confederates of his left the house of her husband, and has not since returned; causlDg a bill ot complaint to be filed In the Superior Court against him, falsely charging him with having at divers times since their marriage committed adultery with Jane 13. Reynolds, the mother of his wife, and pray ing for divorce. In this connection he asserts that he has always well and faithfully observed his marriage obligations.

Tbe couple, it fceerus, bave been loving despe rately bard for some time pa-t, but the cruel parents of tbe young lady put their veto on the match.

The hour and place for the two to meet wcro fixed; but the jouug lady beiDg a little timid, re mained at home until the time was almost up, anxiously collating an excuse to "git tip aud frit." Juht in tbe nick of time, her mother told her to go out and get aloat of bread, and never was a loaf of bread so opportunely wanted. Donning her shawl and bonnet, off she went, met her lover, and the two went steam ing away to Weldou, where they were duly united in the holy bonds or matrimony. They returned to Richmond on tbe net train, the bride taking along with her a loaf of bread. Arrived at home, she delivered the bread and introduced her husband.

It is reported that John Hancock, formerly Collector of Internal Revenue In the Fourth District of Tcnnsjlvania, has been appointed Deputy Collector under General Stcadman, at New Orleans, and will leave soon to enter oa his duties. Ttaa Philadelphia Revenue Board. Postmaster Bingham, and Chambers McKlb" ben, Assistant Treasurer at Philadelphia, have tendered their resignations as members of tha Internal Revenue Board at Philadelphia. The cplnion prevails here that the Board will be discontinued soon. A Phlladelphlan Appointed Treasury Agsnt, C. M. Donovan, late State 8enatorin the Penn sylvania legislature, has been appointed Special' Agent of the Treasury Department, and assigned to duty in the South, and will gperate at Mem phis and New Orleans, His appointment was made upon the recommendation of Senator Buckalew and Hon. James Campbell. The Senatorial Caucus. The Senate caucus, which has under considera tion the propriety of making a change in the Sergeant-at-Arms, will meet again to-morrow morning. The friends of General Burbridge are confident that he will eventually bo selected to succeed George T. Brown, the present in cumbent. If this succeeds, it is thought Sena tors will not stop there, but that other changes in the elective officers will be made. Oojd for Trad. The settlement of the impeachment question and the stoppage of contraction by Secretary McCulloch will, it is thought by shrewd ob servers here, produce great activity in various branches of trade, and cause a rise in all good interest-paying securities. The passage of the House bill, on Saturday, to repeal the act arthorizlng McCulloch to retire four millions monthly, by such a decisive majority, indicates its certain passage in the Senate, which will stop contraction bylaw, and not leaveit dis cretionary with the Secretary to contract or not at pleasure hereafter. Effect of the Defeat of th Impeachment tuestlon. The defeat of the impeachment proposition has caused deep feeling between the two wings of the Republican party, and bitter recrtmina. tlon has been indulged by some of the extreme radicals towards those Republicans who voted with the Democrats against impeachment. The Chase men declare that the Grant Republicans were afraid to meet the issus squarely, but la bored to defeat the majority report, as its adop tion was considered unfavorable to the Grant programme, Jn order to reconcile both parties, it is not improbable that Senator Drake's resolu tion, or something similar, censuring the Presi dent for defiant language in his late Message, may be passed by both nouses, as it is thought this will act as a salve to the wounded feelings of the impeach era, and restore harmony to the party. Some of those who at first were opposed to a resolu tion ot censure, on the ground that it was going out of the sphere of Congress to censure a co ordinate9 branch of the Government, are now favorable to it, as they argue that Congress has as good a right to censure the President as he has to censure and condemn the acts ot Con gress, which he did so anspaiiDgly in his last Message. Troubles of a Customs Collector. Collector Cake arrived here this morning. lie comes at the request of Secretary McCulloch on matters connected with the administration of his office. Modification of ths Reconstruction Bills. Tbere seems to be a disposition on the part of some of the leading Republicans in both Houses ot Congress to modify in some degree the Reconstruction acts, but .not to abandon in the slightest degree the general principles on which these acts were based. One of the modifica tions proposed is to make a majority of the votes cast in future elections sufnzient to adopt the constitutions which may be presented to the people; and in this way it is thought all the unreconstructed States will be represented be fore the present session of Congress adjourns. Another change which finds much favor is the enfranchisement of a considerable number of those now disfranchised under existing laws, as It is known that many of these pitrties, who com pose some ot the leading men of tbe South, will warmly advocate reconstruction on the Congressional plan, if some concessions of this kind are made.

The Jaffa Colonists, The following extract of a letter from an officer on board the CTnlted States steamer Swa tara will be read with Interest: "The American colony at Jaffa is gradually dispersine. The Quaker City took off severnl, and a bu tlklcnt sum was subscribed on board tbis vessel to send one family home. This was not done on account of any very great sympathy on our part for any of tbe people, but because all tbe members of this family were, and had been sick, and we did not like the Idea of leav ing tbeui to die lu a strange land, or beg of the Arabs. "Elder Adams, the apostle of this Church, and founder of tne colony. Joined the party of oflicers who visited Jerusalem, and made such an unfavorable impression on them by his own statement of affairs as to satisfy us all that he was no enthusiast, bat a common swindler, who hoped to establish a rival colony to that of Salt Luke. He is a common fellow, a prototype ot the Mormon elder, I can scarcely conceive it possible that any intelligent men could have surrendered themselves so completely to his guidance. "People who never would have paid their pew Tent at home without takiug a receipt, ap pear to have blindly placed the whole or their means in his hands, without any vouchers, articles of association, or means ot controlling its disposition. They assert that they believed the second advent of Christ was about to take j. lace, end even those who did not believe this were of opinion that the aacient fertility of Palestine was about to be restored by some revolution of nature, and they wished to be on band when tbe distribution of farms and town lots took place. This is absolutely the explana tion given to me by two of the most intelligent ot the colonists, one of them a supporter and tbe other au opponent of Mr. Adams. They have been severely punished. "Cretan affairs remain in the same unsatis factory state; the real revolutionary govern ment ot Crete Is established here in Lyra, and I am Informed that they will not accept any con cetsfous or compromises otferel by tbo Ottoman Government. Tbe removal of the families and tbe assistance they receive through blockade runners will, undoubtedly, enable them to con tinue tbe revolution so long as they are per mitted to entertain hopes ot foreign interven tion."

On (Saturday evening tba great muster of KnglUb fiction, Char lee Dickens, reached this city from Hoe ton by ILe 7-80 train, whloh left Boston at 11 A. M. of "VUurdar. On leaving; the train Mr. Dickens jrvooeeded directly to tbe Westminster Hotel, corner of Sixteenth street and Irving Place, where his name and that ot his suite were registered by Mr. Dolby, the agent of Mr. Dickens. Mr. Dickens looked aged and worn, and was attired in a plain travelling suit of tbe Quest Urltlaa manufacture. Mr. Dickens was accompanied by Mr. Osgood, of the firm of Tlcknor & Fields, of Hoston, Mr. Klchard Kelly, a personal friend, and two servants. Mr. Dolby, bis agent, also remained at tba hotel during tbe night. After going to bis room and wash ing himself, Mr. Dlekens descended la evening costnme to tbe dinner-table, where a number of lale diners curiously observed tbe movements of the great novelist. Mr. Dlokens partook of a bounteous and saocnlent repast In a quiet manner, and remained at tbe table for ex actly filly-tbree minutes. Then Mr. Dlokens ascended to bis room and bad a conference with Mr. Dolby and his chief servant, and retired to rest arter tbe windows of his room bad been safely fastened from the Interior. During tbe evening there was no excitement at or near tbe hotel, and very few persons were aware of tbe arrival of this truly great novel ist. At an early hour Mr. Dickens arose, clothed himself comfortably, and bud another conieience with bis agent, after which break fast was discussed quietly and without any demonstration on tbe part of Mr. Dlokens' fellow-boarders. It may be, perbaps, inte resting to state that Mr. Dlekeus did not atteiid any church yesterday morning, but re mained indoors nnlii the afternoon, when Mr. Dickens, refreshed, after bis comfortable nap and breakfast, veutured around as far aa Hleln way Hall, together with his agent aud the doorkeeper whom Mr. Dickens has brought from England to take tbe tickets during his readings. This precaution prevents the ad mission of so many dead-heads, who would cer tainly gain admission through tbe local door keepers. Mr. Dickens and his agent wentall through Btelnway Hall, looking at tbe Bents, going upon the stage, examining the doors, the ceilings, aud trying the acous tic properties by shouting to his agent, who kept away In the farthest part of tbe hail. Mr. Dickens then inquired how many persons tbe ball would hold, and was Informed that it would comfortably seat 2500 persons, be sides giving standing room to a great many more, who would be certain to listen to the readings of the great English novelist with all tbe more pleasure from being compelled to Ftsnd during the side-splitting Jokes, in the l'lckwlck reading particularly. Mr. Dlokens tben returned to his hotel, perfectly satisfied with tbe hall In wblob be is to give his first reHdirjg. (Several gentlemen left their cards during the afternoon, but only two or three were admitted to the prlvaoy of his rooms. Mr. Dickens dined in the evening, partaking lightly of the food set before lilm, and returning, as usual, to his suite of rooms, which are numbered on the hotel register 40. 60, 51. Oreat writers, poets, thinkers, soldiers and statesmen, all have their likes and dislikes; and our reporter was informed by a person who bad an opportunity of observing Mr. Dlekeus closely tbat he did not use mustard during the entire time occu pied by him In eating his dinner. This is a singular fact and worthy of note. Mr. Dickens refused all invitations to go out or visit yester day, and will continue to do so to-day. There aie a great number of persons who are but too eager to annoy distinguished stran gers with undesired and obtrusive civili ties, which a gentleman of Mr. Dickens' si anti lug is positively forced to decline. The nume rous Jenkinses and Jefferson Brloks of the New York press will not have any opportunity to chronicle every movement of Mr. Dlekens d uring his stay in New York, as tbat gentleman has decided to keep strlolly secluded. We understand tbat until a late hour last evening Mr. Dickens read the "Christmas Carol" and tlie "Trial Scene, from Pickwick," as he does all his selections before appearing In the pre sence of an audience, to perfect himself la his part. The "Christmas Carol" and "Plckwlok" will be read by blm to-nliibt at Btelnway Hall. Mr. Ulekene retired to bed at a late Hour last night, and will arise at aa early hour this morning. From Detroit. Detroit, Dee. 7. Colonel V7. P.

J The public is Just now congratulating Itself on tbe fortunate appointment of General Schenck, of Obio, as Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means, to the slight of Messrs. Hooper and Garfield. Both the latter gentlemen, on Saturday, vo'ed against the bill prohibiting further' contraction, thus severing themselves completely, on this most Important topic, from a majority of the Houe and the country. As the ebaironanship of this commit tee is the most influential position in the House, the Speaker should be thanked for not giving it to a gentleman who is so severed trorn the pre vailing opinion on the fundamental finauclul ltsue of the day. The statement of the condition of the na tional debt, made public this morning, reveals only what has already beeu made known by the reports of the Secretary and Comptroller.
