"Air. Dlokens and the Cheeryble Brother." To the Editor of the Chicago Republican: As almost everything connected with the late Charles Dickens and the principal characters in his works is interesting just now, I will re late what I heard from a Manchester gentleman as long ago ago as the year 1823, of the brothers William and Daniel Grant of that place, the un doubted originals from whom he drew the "Cheeryble Brothers." The Grants were the sons of a calico printer, who was either a care lees or in different workman, and on one occa sion bis employers returned an imperfect piece on his bands, merely charging him however, with the cost of the materials. Not knowing what to do with it, be sent his boys out into the country to try to sell iU They suc ceeded so well, that their father bought "more of the same sort," and sent them off again. This was the origin of the great house of William and Daniel Grant. The brothers were greatly attached to each other, and had snch confidence in each other's integrity and good judgment, that their . business went on very smoothly. Their views and'feelings, too, were so -similar; tbat it seemed as though they were actuated by one impulse. Once when William was in Lon don, be made the acquaintance of a Sir Robert Grant, who was engaged in some benevo lent enterprises with which London, bad though it is, bas always abounded. In the course of a morning's walk, they visited a school for poor children, that so interested Wil liam Grant that he examined everything very minutely, and .inquired how it was sustained. Sir Robert replied that the school had a small permanent fund, but that its managers had sometimes occasion to ask the aid of their friends. "I think It is a most excellent institu tion." said the Manchester gentleman, ''and should like to leave it a mark of my approba tion." lie immediately drew an order on bis banker for A'WX ( 500 pounds sterling), and gave it to the Superintendent. As be was about to take bis leave, be said, "But stop, if I should fo borne and tell my brother what I have done, am sure he would be very much dissatisfied if f had not left it a mark of his approbation also." Ik- then drew another order for a like amount, "which you will understand is from my brother Danielhe said. In reading "Nicholas Nickleby," before I had half got through his description of the "Cheery ble Brothers," I felt quite sure that the Grar.ts bad sat for their portraits, and in a few weeks an article, from Chambers' Journal made my convictions doubly sure. It is the opinion of those who know the history of these noble men, that Dickens has rather under than overrated their characters. A Mule History. In the first instance when Chapman fc Hall were the publishers of Dickens, they declined, just after the publication of "Martin Chu.zle wit," to advance him the sum of 1000, which he wanted for his journey to Italy. The result was that Dickens applied to and obtained the money of Bradbury & Evans, the well-known publishers of Punch, to whom be at once trans fer! ed his business. Subsequently he had a difficulty with that firm, growing out of some matters connected with bis separation from Mrs. Dickens, and went back to Chapman & Hall, who remained his publishers to the time of bis death. By declining to make that small ad vance of 1000 small for a man like Dickens Chapman & Ilall must have lost at least 50,000. The fact is that "Martin Chuzzlewit" didn't sell so well as the previous works of Dickens, and they began to lose their con fidence in him. Moreover, the great Times had lust published an elaborate comparison between Dickens and Thackeray, in which the palm was given to Thackeray. Chapman & Hall looked upon this as little short o a coup de grace for Dickens, and concluded they didn't want much more stock in him. To be sure the distinguished autnor naa maae two or tnree iortunes tor them, but what of that ? Such is life. Dickens a Unitarian. Dickens was never formally connected with any religious sect, but bis rule was to worship with the Unitarians. While living id London be attended one of their places of worship regu larly, and had a family pew there. A. DANGEROUS MADMAN. A Lunatic Liooae and Exceedingly Fierce. About 9 o'clock on Wednesday forenoon, says the Cincinnati Gazette of Saturday, a colored lunatic ny the name ot liaines, at Longview, rent the iron bars of his cell, and beating down with bis frantic strength all opposition, escaped. Gaines is a farmer, and resided formerly near uisves, in ine western pari oi tms county, on the line of the I. and C. Railroad. He is a man of powerful muscle. For the last two or three months he bas been very manageable. When ever be has been given work be bas done it cheerfully. Much of bis time bas been spent in the garden, working on the Long view premises. It was thought be was nearly well. Day before yesterday morning some fury seemed to take possession of blm. He became un manageable manifestly dangerous. His attend ant succeeded in enticing him into a cell, with Iron grated window, where he was at once locked p. The thundering of his feet at the door the attendants counted only as so much belpless cage. Such a thought as his breaking out did not enter their minda. For hm iron bars were as withes to the giant who bore on bis back the gates of Gaza. How be broke them is a wonder .to all, but that he made room for bis escape was ocularly demonstrated. Out he flashed, with a maniac fire blazing And flashing from bis red, glaring eyes. A couple of attendants stood in bis way.and tried to prevent bis eseape. They were as children before the hammer-like blows of his fists. Another attendant ran to the help of these two, and was stretched senseless, with a gash In his bead, from xbe stroke of a short club the maniac had gathered npl By this time no one was disposed to stand in the way of the madman. lie escaped, and was soon out .of sight. Yesterday evening he bad aot been even taken or captured. It Is supposed be ha gone to bis old borne, near Cleves. EXIT HOLDEN I Deloen, the Forcer ana Blninlat, Give hla (iuarda the Hitw muA lUcapee. Tbe old saying that money can do anything bas been again verified in the case of Holden, who bas been arrested and under charges that would certainly have sent a poor, friendless vagrant in irons to jail, which in his case merely detained him at borne with the eompany of a polite attendant, witb little or no restraint upon bis liberty. Tbe charges against this man were of a more serious nature than yet made public and were withheld from the public eye by re quest of parties claiming to be bis friends, but who know at tbe same time that be bad been Indulging In the most reckless, ex penditures, purchasing a 11700 set of jewelry, gold watches, costly furniture, importing his cigars from Havana, his wine from Europe, even np to the day of bis arrest. Charge after charge were brought against this pet of society, each one clearly substantiated; then he applied for delav: his ball is fixed at a mere nominal sum tl500. After he had run around tbe city yesterday vainly endeavoring to get bis ball, he returned borne nudcr close guard. This morn ing be was ordered to jail for safe keeping, but when the constable went into his room about 8 o'clock to secure his delicate prisoner, he found J. H. Holden had "gone where the woodbine twineth," leaving his respective wives and creditors and victims to mourn his absence. Thus endeth another farce of punishing a fash ionable vagrant. A reward is offered for his recapture, but good-by Holden! Kansas City Bulletin, June 23. A CRASH IN BROOKLYN. Fnll eCthe Hamilton Avenue market One Per. trom Killed and Other Inlared Children la the Rains A Horrible Sunday Hcene. Brooklyn was the scene of another calamity yesterday morning, resulting in the immediate deatn ot one cmidj ana tne injuring ot anotaer to such an extent that it cannot recover. The accident was caused by the falling of Hamilton Market, situated at the cor ner of Hamilton avenue and Van Brunt street. The building is of brick, two stories in height, and was covered over with what is termed a self-supporting roof. It was partly occupied as a market, and tne basement was used tor stores, but all the latter were empty except the corner one, which was used as a liquor store by A. Cunningham. About 715 o'clock a loud crash was heard in the vicinity, and soon after a dense volume of dust ascended in the air. The people flocked to the scene, and for a time the greatest excitement prevailed. CHILDREN FOUND IN THE RUINS. On looking among the debris on the Van Brunt street side, two little children were found partly covered with brick and mortar. They were soon extricated, and proved to be the chil dren of Mr. Edward MuHen. a tailor living in Hamilton avenue, opposite the market. The elder child, Isabella, was about 12 years of age, and was badly cut and battered about the face and head. She died about an hour or two after she was taken out. The other child, Theresa, is about 6 years of age, is badly bruised about the body and cut on the head. She cannot re cover. STATEMENT OF THE AGENT. Mr. Keran O'Brien, the agent of the market, states that the building is owned by Mr. S. R. fit. John, No. 121 Clinton street, and others. It was built by Jacob Frost in the year 1856, who also built and owned Atlantic Market, both being built on the same plan. Hamilton Mar ket was worth before the accident about $30,000; and in the event of Its being repaired is dam aged to the extent of $20,000 at least. It was I sold by Mr. Frost to the present owners, and was used by the Health authorities as a cholera hospital during the prevalence of that disease some years ago. It was afterwards turned into a cracker bakery, and finally converted into a market again. It was insured against fire for its full value in the Imperial and other insurance companies, but there was no fire there at tbe time. The accident took place aboui 7-15 yesterday morning, when more than two thirds of the building fell with a terrible crash. The supposition is - that the rear wall gave way, part of which was built on piles. The building was examined several times by competent builders, all of whom pronounced it safe. Tne owners intended to make a five-story building of it in September next, and had no doubt whatever of its entire safety. N. Y. World this morning. A FEM ALE REGATTA. The Sensation or the Heanon Home ot the Ulrla Preparing for the Contest What tbe FHtuburc Oarainen Think of the flatter. Some weeks ago, says the Pittsburg Commer cial of Saturday, nnder the head of an "Aquatic Sensation," was published an item to the effect tbat a young lady of this city proposed to enter the aquatic lists. Since that time efforts have been made to arrange a race, and at last it ap pears that there is to be a female contest on the upper Monongahela course. The Nonpareil Club of this city give a picnic at Glenwood Grove on the lttth of July, and offer as a rize to the best female oarswoman a lady's elegant gold watch and chain. Three girls have already signified their intention to compete for the prize, and two of them are al ready preparing for the contest. Their names are Miss Lotta McAlees, Miss Sheridan, of the South Side, and Miss Miller, of Soho. Word has been sent to the young lady that the McKee Club proposes to put in the field, and it is pro bable that there will be other contestants. Miss McAlees and Miss Sheridan have already commenced practising, and one of them on Thursday evening rowed about in a scull boat, bandling tbe oars gracefully and skilfully. Some of the oarsmen deprecate the movement, and say tbat it is calculated to make the manly art of rowing a burlesque, and bring it into dis repute. One of them, on this ground, refused to allow Lotta the use of bis scull boat. Others think that the girls have a perfect right to enter the aquatic lists if they see fit to, and say they will do all in their power to make the race a success. Tbe race will be over tbe upper Monongahela course, at uienwood, ana win probably be one mile.. a half mile to the stake boat and return. so tbat an excellent opportunity will be bad for viewing the enure contest. LSOAL IWTllEEIOIlia'CU. The Sullivan Homicide. Court of Oyer and 2erminer Judges Ludlow and Paxson. This morning James Mahoney and James Clegget were arraigned for the murder of policeman Dennis Sullivan, and entered pleas of not guilty. District Attorneys Sheppard and Hagert intended to try the case this morning, knowing that if they did not It would go on unui lau, out Mr. u tiyrne, represent ing tbe prisoners, applied for a continuance, because tbe killing was of so recent occurrence, having taken place on the 12th lnsL, and the matter had assumed suoa magnitude since he had begin to in vestigate It, involving, as It did, the life of his clients, that he bad not yet been able to prepare his Mr. Hagert earnestly opposed this motion, on the ground that If the continuance were granted until Fall there was no telling what might become of the witnesses for the prosecution, and the Common wealth's case would be greatly damaged. Mr. O'Byrne said that If tbe trial was postponed it would be te the disadvantage of bis clients, (or they would have to lie la prison all tbat time. Mr. liagert took another view of the matter, and thought tbe prisoners would reap benefit from any delay, for by lapse of time tbe Commonwealth's witnesses would lose Interest in It and become cold, and all tne feeling would driit over to the side of the accused. After consulting with Judge Paxson, Judge Lud low said that In so serious a case, eadangerlng the lire of a citizen, the Court would not force trial be fore the accused had time to prepare the defense, and the continuance was allowed.

Xiij 0 jet oq trial, PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JUNE 27, 1870 SECOND EDITION LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. TO DAY'S CABLE HX2WS. Death of the Earl of Clarendon. The North Atlantic Squadron. The Cork Riots Renewed. Severe Storm in Pennsylvania. The Great Fire at Reading. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. Etc OBITUARY. The Earl of Clarendon. A cable despatch published elsewhere an nounces the sudden death in London yesterday of the Right Honorable George William Frede rick Villiers, K. G., G. C. B., P. C, third Earl of Clarendon, tbe British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Earl Clarendon was born January 12, 1800, and bad therefore advanced well into his seventy-first year at the time of his death. His father, the late Honorable George Villiers, was a brother of the second Earl of Clarendon, to which title he succeeded in 1833. At an early age he entered the diplomatic service, and subsequently was employed in the civil service both in Ireland and abroad. Ills first prominent position was that of British Min ister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Madrid, which he filled from 1833 to 1839. From 1839 to 1841, under Lord Melbourne's administration, be was Lord of the Privy Seal and Chancellor of tbe Ducby of Lancaster; on January 3, 1840, be was made a Privy Councillor, and in 1840 Presi dent of the Board of Trade. From 1847 to 1852 he held tbe responsible position of Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland. In February, 1853, he was appointed Foreign Secretary for the first time, and three times thereafter was called to fill the same high office. England was just entering upon the memorable struggle witb Russia, and he was called upon to direct tbe difficult negotiations with France, Austria, Prussia and Turkey, which preceded the Crimean war. In February, 1855, on the fall of Lord Aberdeen's Ministry, he was requested by the late Earl Derby, upon whom devolved tbe task of forming a new ministry, to retain his office. Earl Dei by failed, however, to get a cabinet together; and Lord Palmerston suc ceeded blm, under whom Earl Clarendon re mained in office as Foreign Secretary until the retirement of his chief in 1858. In that capacity be was called upon to sign the treaty ot 1'aris wnicn in the spring of 1856 brought the struggle in the East to an end. In 1804 he entered Lord Palmerston's second cabinet as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and again on November 3, 1865, was appointed Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, remaining in office until the retirement of bis colleagues in June, 1866. When Mr. Gladstone came into power in November, 1868, Earl Clarendon was appointed Foreign Secretary for the fourth time, holding the position at tbe time of bis death. During bis last incumbency he completed the negotia tion of the celebrated treaty with this country for the settlement of the Alabama claims which bad been commenced by his predecessor, the present Earl Derby, then Lord Stanley, and Reverdy Johnson, our Minister at that time. Tbe late Earl was descended from tbe brother of the famous George Villiers, Duke of Buck ingham, tbe favorite of James I, and on his mother's side from tbe equally famous Edward Hyde, Lord Clarendon, who was the grand' father of two Queens of England. He was therefore a grandee of tbe very highest rank, and possessed a family standing and influ ence which was on a par with bis high official position. He was a brother of tbe Right Hon. Charles Pelham Villiers, the cele brated free-trade advocate, was made a Knight of the Garter in 1849, and for many years was Chancellor of tbe Queen's University, Ireland. The public career of Lord Clarendon, extend ing as it did through a full half century, has been one of the most honorable and honored In the annals ot British statesmanship. It was in 1820, before he had attained bis majority, that he entered the diplomatic service as an attache to tbe British embassy at St. Petersburg. When, in December, 1838, be became Earl of Claren don, on the death of his uncle, he resigned his position at the Spanish court, and entered the House of Lords with a brilliant future before blm. Endowed with all the moat desirable gifts of fortune, in the shape of wealth, rank, and in fluential associations, and eminently qualified for bis new field of labor by an experience of twenty years in tbe field of diplomacy, he was soon enabled to assume a leading position in tbe House of Lords, and in less than a year was fully launched upon one of the most evenly success ful careers of modern times by being invited to a seat in tbe Cabinet. But his lite was far from being one of elegant and honorable ease. When, in 1846, he was appointed by Lord Russell Pre sident of tbe Board of Trade, he had a difficult task to deal with in consolidating tbe results of the great com mercial revolution which bad been produced by tbe repeal of the Corn Laws. While acting as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, be bad a still more difficult task on bis hands, but be acquitted himself creditably In ' the crisis in Irish affairs which then prevailed; and, although he failed to conciliate the people of Ireland, he won increased reputation at home, and received tbe order of the Garter as an acknowledgment of bis services. In the management of tbe foreign relations of England just previous to and during1 the Cri mean war, be encountered perhaps the most difficult and thankless task that ever fell to his lot. Party spirit ran high at the time, and even John Bright, who has for nearly two years sat In tbe same Cabinet with blm, assailed bis policy unmercifully at the time, on one occasion remarking, with a bitter sneer: ."Lord Clarendon has told ui ttut Europe was. standing on a mine and did not know It. I do not know that he Is much more acute than other people, but I can fancy that Lord Clarendon, by the blun ders of his negotiations, and the alliances he has en deavored to form, has placed this country on a mine far more dangerous and destructive than that upon which he thinks Europe was placed by tbe colossal power of Russia." Yet the circumstance that Lord Derby, the Tory leader, desired to retain him in the Cabi net which he found it impossible to organize in IE 55, and tbat Lord Palmerston kept him at the head of tbe Foreign office on coming into power after Derby's failure, was an indication of the manner in which he managed to conciliate, if not entirely to satisfy all parties, and to render Ehgland what she so often has been a unit in her treatment of foreign nations in time of trouble and war. On his third re tirement from tbe foreign office, in 1866, Lord Derby again, as a testimony to his diplomatic skill, invited him to retain his posi tion after the radical change in the ministry, but a second time was met with a refusal. Earl Clarendon's treatment of the questions at issue between Great Britain and this country has not rendered him altogether popular with us, but his' position on the Alabama claims question was simply dictated by the almost unani mous sentiment of the leading statesmen of England, and when be bad such a weak specimen of an immature diplomatist to deal with as Reverdy Johnson, It was not sur prising tbat his own views prevailed throughout the negotiation, and that the treaty, commenced while Lord Stanley was at the head of the British Foreign Office, was a complete surren der on the part of the United States. The Senate, however, promptly repudiated Mr. Johnson's course, and Lord Clarendon subse quently bandied the Alabama claims and other questions at issue with this coun try In a manner rather more reserved than before. Since Mr. Motley's appointment to the English mission, the only important question affecting the two countries whlck received atten tion was that touching upon naturalization, and the treaty successfully negotiated by him last month with Lord Clarendon was one of more than usual importance, as it sets at rest questions which have been at issue for nearly a century, which have actually involved tbe two countries in war, and wbieh have been the almost uninterrupted source of trouble, even in time of peace. As the new treaty Is based upon the American theory of allegiance, and is a practical abandonment of tbe English policy, its negotiation was as creditable to Lord Clarendon s liberal statesmanship as It Is satis factory to the people of the United States. Lord Clarendon, In 1839, married Lady Katha rine Grimston, a daughter of the Earl of Ver- lam and a widow at the time, and is succeeded in the title and estates of the earldom by his son Edward Lord Hyde, born in February, 1840.

The Great Fire at Readlnac. Sptrtal Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Reading, June 27. The destruction of the new car works of tbe Philadelphia and Heading Railroad Company, located to the north of the upper station, at this place, has thrown out of employment some five hundred men, most of whom have large families. The fire burned fiercely throughout yesterday, and still to-day there is a dense mass of smoke issuing from the ruins. The building, which was erected in 1865, cost $130,000, and nothing but the bare walls now remain. A great portion of these will have to be taken down, as the Intense heat has trans formed the stone into lime. The los3 will not be so severe as was at first imagined, but will even then foot up somewhere in the neighborhood of 1125,000. The building covered a space of 700 by 1G5 feet, and was tbe largest of the kind hereabouts. This is the third shop that the company bas lost. The fire originated in the vicinity of the oil room, and it is believed that it was tbe result of spontaneous combustion. The company, it is understood, will immediately proceed to re-erect the works. Storm in Fulton i;onntr. McConnellsburg, Pa., June 27 A very severe storm occurred at 4 o'cleek yesterday afternoon, accompanied with rain and hall.git came from the north and swept through the vallev. About one-hall ot the root of the court House was torn off and carried some distauco. The new Methodist Episcopal church was very much injured, and the walls at both ends re moved from the iounaation. FROM THE WEST. The Y.' M. C. A. Convention. Indianapolis, June 27 Almost all the city churches united with the delegates to the Con vention of the Young Men's Christian Assocla tion at the demonstration held in the Academy of Music last evening. The building was crowded to overflowing long before the hour for the services. A second meeting was organized in the Third Presbyterian Church, which was soon crowded, and thousands were unable to gain admittance at either place. George II. Stuart made the concluding prayer, after which the President briefly and feelingly addressed tne convention. The following resolution was adapted: Resolved. That the Fifteenth Annual Conven tion of the Young Men's Christian Association of the United fetates and tfritisn Provinces do now adjourn, to meet in Washington in 1871, at tbe call of the executive committee.
