Stoßr Ul' Oetim: or PICK WICK.—Mr. Dickens has latterly been issu ing what is called a popular edition of his work., in which .ho treats us to this little account of the origin of Pickwick: - "I was a young man of three and twenty when the present publishers, attracted by some pieces I was at that time writing in the Morning Chronicle newspaper, (of which one series had lately been collected and pub lished in two volumes, illustrated by my es teemed friend Mr. George Cruikshank,) lonited upon me to propose a something that should be published in shilling numbers— then only known . to me, or I beliere to any body else, by a dim recollection of certain •Inte - rtuittable novels in that form which used to be carried,,attaut the cotzuti:y'by peddlers, and over some of which I remember to have shed innumerable tears before I had served my apprenticeship to life. "When I opened my door in Furnival's Inn to the managing partner who repro pentad the firm, I recognized in him the person fro'n whose bands I had bought two or three years previously, and whom 1 had never seen before nor since, my first copy of the inagazirie in which my first effu sion—dropped stealthily one evening at twilight, with fear and trembling, into a dark letter box, in a dark office, up a dark court in Fleet street—appeared in all the glory of print; on which memorable occa sion—how well I recollect it!—l walked down to Westminster Hall and turned into -it fur half an hour, because my eyes were fu) dimmed with joy and pride that they could not bear the street, and were not fit to be seen tl.tpre. I told my visitor of the coin cidence srliio are both hailed as a good omen, and so fcll to the business. "The idea propounded to me was that the Iconthly something sh2ul4 be a vehicle for certain . plates to be executed by Mr. Sey mour; end there was a notion, either on the prat of that admirable humorous artist or of toy vi , iter, (I forget which,) that a 'Nimrod Cltzh,' the members of which were to go out shooting. fishing, and so forth, and getting tbemmehos into difficulties through their want of dexterity, would be the best means of introducing these. I objected, cm consid eration, that, although born and partly bred in the country, I was no great sportsman, except in regard of all kinds of locomotion; that the idea was not novel, and had been already much used; that it would be infi nitely better fur the plates to arise naturally nut of the text; and that I should like to j take my own way, with a freer range of 3:n-dish scenes and people, and was afraid I shy tQultimately do so in any case, what ever muse I might prescribo to myself at starting. My views being deferred to, I thought of Mr. Pickwick:, and wrote the first _number, from the proof-sheets of which Mr. Seymour made his drawing of the Club, and that Imppy portrait of its founder by which La is always recognized, and which may be :imid to' have made bins a reality.

Mug 41eztrr sae' !./EMETFRIE.9.—Qn day evening a - meeting of lot holders and other interested in the.diferertt cemeteries assembled, in an9wer to a posted call from the Committee appointed •by the 'Town Meeting of the previous week, for the pur pose of expressing their sentiments in regard to the appointment of a custodian for the grounds. Michael Clepper was called, to the chair, and J. C. Pfahler appointed Sec retcry. A paper was drawn up by Mr. Fisher, and signed by many present, pledging the subscribers to employ the person who shall be appointed by proper authority to act as grave-digger and care-taker at the cemete ries end to occupy the contemplated dwel ling, should such be erected. The following gentlemen were, on resolu tion, appointed by the chair to represent and wait upon the several societies and individu ale concerned, and obtain, if possible, a general acquiescence in the contemplated arregetnents: J. H. Mifflin—individuals interested in Old Brick Grave Yard; James Myers— Presbyterians; Samuel Grove—Methodists; Dr. D. I. Bruner—Odd Fellows; P. Fraley —Borough Authorities; 'Richard Derrick— German Reformed and Lutherans; B. F. Ap pold—Lot-holders in New Cemetery; J. 11. Mifflin, also to represent the unsold portion of the New Cemetery. It was appointed that these gentlemen should meet the originnl Committee on Wednesday evening, and report, to attend which meeting a general invitation was ex tended to all interested. On Wednesday the Committee met at the Town llall. Mr. Fisher, Chairman of the Committee, being absent, Mr. Grove was elected Chairman; Dr. W. S. MeCorkle, Secretary. But alight progress was reported. Mr. Mifflin produced a written pledge from sev eral of the parties interested in the Brick )rave Yard of a similar character to the one got up and signed at the previous meeting. Mr. Grove, ou the part of the Methodists, expressed a willingness to co-operate in the appointment and employment of a general custodian. Col. Herr, as delegate from Co , Initnbia Public Ground Company, offered a piece of ground adjoining the Brick Grace Yard, as a site for the proposed dwelling. Afterwards a general discussion arose, and numerous suggestions were made; nothing giving general satisfaction being brought before the meeting, which took no action, adjourning with the understanding that the Committee should meet again and make such effort as it deemed best calcula ted to effect the desired object, viz; put our grave yards in good order and insure them from future outrage end desecration. From the variety of interests concerned, the progress of any effort to bring together these interests in one co-operative action must necessarily be slow. A serious error was committed in the delegation to the com mittee, by the original Town Meeting, of powers which that meeting had no authority to confer. Had the resolution creating the Committee simply instructed it to report a course of action, or even authorized it to pro ceed to solicit subscriptions without the ad ditional power of disposing of the money subscribed, more certain progress would have resulted. The members of the Com mittee, while shrinking from no hurthen of effort laid upon their shoulders, yet have declined the responsibility of an attempt to carry out their instructions without a previ ous consultation of the numerous individuals and societies interested, and have asked for official action on the part of the congyega dons and others owning ground in the dif ferent grave yards. Jo calling for this ad ditional action and expression of rentiment on the part of societies and citizens, the necessity; for some more formal appointment of representatives to act fur these interests in so important a matter h'as become appar ent. This need cause no delay, however, in ascertaining the disposition of citizens to contribute, or, indeed, in oLtaining the re quisite funds for the undertaking. The Committee, in view of the many conflicting opinions as to the proper mode of pro cedure in the case, has resolved not to go back from what has already been dono.— The people are fully awake to the impor tarnee of acting nt once in this matter, and a warm interest is taken by almost every citi zen of the borough; therefore the Commit tee has determined to ask subscriptions without further discussion, and trust that, when the entire feasibility of the plan of erecting a dwelling and appointing a care ' taker for the grounds shall be demonstrated, by the liberality of mr citizens, the different parties interested in the grave yards will at once take prompt measures to secure an authorized and official representation in a Board of Managers or Trustees, into the hands of which the responsibility of further action will be gladly resigned. Until such board shall hare been appointed the Com mitten will not relag, its efforts to secure the success of the undertaking, and appeals to the citizens for liberal encouragemect. WRIT MONDAY' IN LANCMITER.---LASt Mon day was the great day of jubilee in Lancas ter, and the city was thronged with plea sure and lager seekers. There was the legal amount of eating, drinking, and merry-mak ing, and Fulton 'pill was the theatre of the usual saturnalia. The room was thronged afternoon and evening. and the modest "fraulsina:f the earthen crocks of the coun try, coated through the dunes side by side with the brazen vessels of town; may there not bare been, as in the able, danger is the contstet7 Lager an 4 whisky rap in the gut tern, and the license of the day induced more or lees rowdyism. 4.

It appeared that the young fel low had seen "Liz" in the kitchen, and wa s charmed; had immediately made over to her his personal estate to the amount above named, and entreated her to "tie up" with him. The young woman consented, received I the deposit, then laughed in the enamored Dolly's face, declaring she would 'Neither runny for gold nor good.. Nur marry for SIOOIIIK but only love." When expostulated with upon the light ness and impropriety of her conduct, she expressed a belief that she was no such fool as to marry so ugly an., old "cuss" as Del linger, evidently estimating her promise at the average value of such pledges. With singular inconsistency, however, Elizabeth liehl firmly that the ceremony of joining to gether for all time had been solemnized be tween herself and the infatuated ll.'s dollars, and resolutely shut her oars to every propo sition for divorce. She had clearly taken the old man's dimes for hotter or for worse, and with a wife's genuine devotion (when $3O are in question) refused to "desert Mr. Micawlicr." The bereaved John, as we have stated, appealed to the Justice, And Hollingsworth was sent in search of the recreant "Liz," who was not to be found. The afflicted swain wept copiously while catering his complaint, whether for the loss of "ye mayde" or "ye monie" does not clearly ap pear on the docket. He refused to be com forted, and went his way into York county blaspheming. A. HONE TOR THE FRIENDLESS.-011 the 20th inst., Constable Hollingsworth arrested, on an order from Esq. Welsh, James McNeal and Jacob Grubb, both of Lewistown Pa., charged on view of the Magistrate with drunken and disorderly conduct, and goner. al vagrancy. Grubb was found ih a drunk en sleep profaning the stops of Justice it self, and McNeal was aroused from a like nap in the gutter near the Collector's office ' where he seriously interfered with the sew erage of the borough. The culprits plead for no heavier sentence than a reprimand; claimed respectable connections, good char acter, &c. The Justice being cognizant of a a little operation wherein these worthies had ' "done" Jim Walker out of sO cents worth of lager and oysters, and of the fact that their repose for the last week had been en joyed in gutters, hog pens, &c., in a com mendable spirit of philanthropy provided them with a temporary honte:at Lancaster, fur fifteen days. They are now with Cad well. CHEAP Warms- vs. P. R. R.—On the 21st inst., A. 'Weaver made complaint before Thomas Welsh, Esq., against Henry John son, for stealing a Bagatelle ball from the saloon near the Canal Basin. Henry was arrested and arraigned. He proved to be a short, stout, black negro, con siderably under alcoholic influence. The ball was in his possession, and he stoutly maintained Olathe purchased it for sixpence. He defined his position as that of an influ ential officer of the Penna. R. It., hailing from Altoona, from which place he has been traveling on secret service along the Hoe of the road. Reaching this point soon after the granting of additional accommodations fur "strangers and travelers," authorized by the into liquor law, nod seduced by the exceeding plenty and the cheapness, to say nothing of the quality, of the liquor of the place, he pitched a temp,;rary and figurative tent, and set in to take advantage of his op portunities. Having been drunk since he arrived he felt qualified to speak, and de clared that he had never found whisky so cheap And abundant. As for the "2 cent article." it would let a man fight, but kept his soul above theft. The Justice dismissed the charge of Is.roency, but holding that the prisoner had no authority on the Philadel phia Division of the R. It. R.. committed him to the County Prisoa for 30 days, as a vagrant. Cossrinscy.—During the examination of Johnson, Mrs. Sawn ey, of the 11111, appeared and claimed to be heard in behalf of her child, wrongfully detained at the County Residence. She wanted to know if " 'Squiah Welsh bad the contrac' fob sendin' nig ga'S to Jail!

On motion of Mr. Pusey the Gas Commit toe was instructed to put up a gas light at the corner of Fifth and Union streets. Mr. Murphy moved that the tax collector, Mr. llollingsworth, be authorized to call upon delinquent tax payers, and notify them that if their taxes arc not paid within one month, measures will be adopted to collect them otherwise, which was agreed to.

Attest, WM. F. LLOYD, Clerk. Philadelphia Correspondence PHILADELPHIA, May 26, 1858, H, W. RerLert—Tlis Cause of his Death —Met bretis-..Ateso' York' Letter Writers— , The Death of the Opera--72hs The letters left by the unfortunate Mr. Herbert, (whose suicide was alluded to in our last letter) in which he indicated in general terms, the immediate cause of his death, point to one of those dreadful inflic tions, which appear to have been sent upon the earth to punish a 'wicked world, and pay' up sinful man for all the evil deeds done in the flesh, conceived in the heart, or dreamed Grin the imagination; besides several other things never done, conceived, or dreamed of by any-human being on earth, in his wildest moments of reckless fully. .And this worst of all avenging dispensations, may be com pared to a scourge which mankind is whip ped withal—the most terrible' of scourges which never wears out in the using; to a pestilence which never ends, ha's no inter mission; and defies all 'healing arts; a &m -ine which consumes the land ferever, and yet never finishes its work; a pestilential nnisancefor, which there is no abatement; a pervading, Insidious, malignant blight, which the sunshine of no face can dissipate, the showers" of no imploring teirs Moisten into green and 'vigorous health. The name of this perpetual and pervading curse is "twaddle." It is a demon which dwells on earth, the last of a 'race of devils driven out by the power of that light which broke into the mist and scattered the clouds of superstition. All the Genii of evil , fled save this'olie, which by some unfortunate "compromise" was -allowed. tc:, remain in consideration -of certain benefitstobeconferrodon,the "moral nature" of man, by keeping him in a -con stant state of terror and dread, lest his evil deeds being "reported," should overwhelm him with ruin. The places best adapted to the shelter and protection of this evil spirit are the bosoms of the people who are without any particu lar occupation, and consequently without any specific object in life; except to excite a little interest and attract attention. It seetus that this useful and-self-denying class of beings was not without a representative in the flourishing manufacturing town of . Newark, in "the Jerseys," near which, the eccentric Henry IV. Herbert had his dwelling. A few weeks after the marriage of Herbert, when he was quietly 'fixed in his country retreat, and in his own language "began •to dream of happiness once mere," he had oc casion to leave home for a day, while his wife remained behind. During that day,. and in the brief interval of the husbatid's absence a human form, moulded, as 'tis said, in fashion of the "gentler sex," but possessed with this evil genius or demon,", ("twaddle")—entered the dwelling of the Ilerberts; and having performed the errand for which in all probability it was born upon the earth, this being, as it wore, its "mis: sion," retired to its own home to await in calm and peaceful anticipation the effective operation of the poison. On the return of the husband, he finds his wife gloomy and depressed, silent and filled with grief but refusing to reveal the cause; all that she will say is—"some one has called," and made certain revelations concerning her hus band, which render it impossible that she can ever again entertain the slightest regard or respect for him. Yet she steadfastly re fuses to give the name of her husband's traducer; of course, under an extorted pro mise of silence on that point. She farther resolves that it is necessary for her to re turn to her parents, and never more reside with her husband. This determination is carried into effect, and the whole result has been communicated to the public. The worthy dispenser of charity, (in the form of information for "moral ends,") who brought about the shocking catastrophe, doubtless revels in the consolation that she "done her dooty;" and though her benign influence, with its radiant beams culminated in the murder of one person, and east a last ing shadow over the, life of another—this meek informer would not have it otherwise; for if she "had not done her dooty," her earthly mission would not have been ful filled. 'What good could by any possibility have come out of her revelations, is a ques tion which never occurs to her mind; that is a matter of not the smallest consequence in life. But to have made a revelation, to have told something which will proba bly distress acme one, or destroy something; this is luxury enough, glory enough, this is worth living for; in point of fact, so delight foal and improving to the heart is the very fact of having done this deed of love, that even the fame of having done it is a matter of no account at all; and in a spirit of vir tuous self-denial she won't oven have her name sounded as with a trumpet of praise, among her fellow creatures, but insists upon a rigid maintenanee • of incognito in such ' kind, healing duties. Did ever any one be hold such goodness, such modality, such self ' denial? Heaven help yea, madam, and all like you —you may hare done your "dooty"—but you are a murderer—that is all—farewell— and in your need, may the world be more merciful to you, than you bare been to the "children of the world!" It the whole country is not in a state of freiqled agitation with regard to the rela tions between the territorial authorities of Utah and the Federal Government, it is not for want of constant and very earnest effort by the press of New York city to keeP . o the si.eam, and stimulate excitement. Every day we have the "most important intelli genoe" from numberless "correspondents" who appear to occupy and 611 up that Ili off valley of milk and honey, or the rilderness and deserts which intervene between it and the country of the Gentiles. These letters come;:so xn . !3lch as tpmatter of course, in the day.y . rfroz•alpg thik impression is irresistililit'tlmt they are writ tea in New York, and dated from any point in the extreme West vilfick the correspon dent with the aid of, - Coltort i s Atlas rnaj , „ have a fang , to visit-1n imagination. Per haps the colors on theAraPmaYliTEe a fliii4 turn by indicating a regular series of points whenceletters conveying "inrportantintellP• gene" may be dated; for instance, letter No. 1, may be supposed to be written from some abandoned Fort in a red region of country; No. 2, from a green ;pot in the same desert; No, 3, from a mound in a blue oxpansereg-prairie; sandal) onyin a kind of cycle of letters, until the history of every square mile of that:ceuntry Oman have been written out and pirblished by the press of the American metropolis, to enlighten the mind of the 'nation with a sort of garret room geography, just as the editorial matter of the second floor educates "the great heart of the nation!" As the letter of one day al ways contradicts the statements of the day previous, the public is never at a loss what to expect—and fur the matter of that, owing to this very fact, might get along pretty comfortably from day to day without any letter at all from Utah. "The opera" in this town, has, for about the fourth time during the past season come to a dead halt, and knocked 'off for want of support. There was a great deal of first rate putbing done just before the collapse, and some wonderful stories were told, a fortnight ago, about the great success of this refinement, as foreshadowing the future elevation of the American nation as high in the scale of humanity as the German, the French. or the Italians (!). But now a strange degree of inconsistency is manifested by the same industrious scribblers, who are mourning over the early death of the poor opera and speculating about the causes of the sad catastrophe. We will venture an opinion upon it, which may be useful to the anxious enquiries, on the "dead head" bench. Like all other great enterprises which have been begun without the means of completion or the em ployment to support it, the opera must "go down;" the first investment must be sacsi deed; the concern must pass into other hands; and then it may be resuscitated with some improvements on a more economical and practical basis, by which means it may boorish in our midst like a green bay tree. As the great Northern Pennsylvania Rail road was begun some five or six years ago under the most brilliant auspices, and dashed ahead in the most reckless spirit of enter prise and extravagance, swamping about its whole capital twice over, and at last falling to such a depth of depreciation that no hOpe is left for it except over the defunct bodies of the original corporators—so we fear the opera must follow' suit and be lost in order , to be saved. How is the weather in Columbia? It has the appearance of rain in this region; and if we could call to mind the last bright day, we ,might entertain the hope of a little,rnore sunshine in the course of the season. But seeing is believing;' and making ra calcula tion in a constant mist is boo difficult and doubtful to be worth the trial. Pu. A Puzzled- Yankee BE PAUL LAURIE. One very pleasant day in last July, as I was riding from Saint Paul towards Alton, I overtook a "character" in the shape of a "real live yankee," who it appeared bad nothing to recommend him, save his own assurance; but of that there was no lack.— As we caught each other's glance, I nodded slightly, my fresh acquaintance imitating a bow as he jerked out, "Idornin'l mighty pleasant day Squire." "Yes, it is rather pleasant." "Some of a horse, that o' yourn." I did not reply, but instead scanned my neighbor's beast closely. Ills eye detected the scrutiny. `•I guess he'll do, won't he?" . "I should judge so," I replied, no little amused at my fellow traveller's manners; "I presumebe belongs to you." He puckered his lips, half closing his eyes at the same time, then jerked his head has tily to one side, as be managed 'to squeeze out, "Ye—es----no l" a long rause; "Wall, stranger, I'll be Intoned of I &now who owns it," and he'made-a sorty attempt at a laugh, • . . • . Evidently the man is poking fnn at me, thought the render's:humble servant, but I could not lode& remarking aloud, "That is a little singular." • • The giggle died sway, the grimmaceleft his face. "Not of you knew the hull on it. You're a new cotter, I take it, stranger." "No. lam not,". I.anewered, dryly. "No offense, Squire, come from the East?" "Yes." - • • • My companion blew his nose vigorously, patted his horse on the neck, and than placed a fresh quid of the Weed between his lantern jaws. • "Wall, about this hose; it is mine, an it ain't mine; leastways, I'm not sartin, yet. It would take a Philadelphia lawyer to• de cide on it; that's so, even so." And hero my companion assumed a med itative manner, working his jaws freely. I deemed it best to give him his own time to explain himself. After riding a half mile in silence, he broke out with, "Much acquainted hereabouts?" "Very slightly." "P'eaps you belong to St. Peters river or to below?" I shook my head, and once more he came back to the ownership of the horse. "Vfall:about this yer hose; I'll bet you never heard of tech as idee as this hoes trade; but may be you could guess where I come from?" "From Connecticut?" "No! from Vermont.
