CIFIARLES DICKENS. The sensation of the day is undoubtedly Whales Dickens. The public generally is excited over his wonderful delineations of the characters which we have all known inti mately and loved so long, and the prominent topic of newspaper criticism is that of last Eight's first appearance of the famous novel ist. It is worth while to note the tone •of Ahem. criticisms. The Ledger gives a brief acoount of the "reading," as it is called for convenience, but does not enter upon , any special criticism of the performance, although the thorough enjoyment of it is warmly ex pressed. The North American gives two well-written articles upon the subject, evinc ing deliberate judgment and a good discrimi nation. Its single disappointment is one which was shared by many hearers, in Mr. Dickens's "Sam Weller," who it con fesses "was not exactly the Sam we expected to see." It pays Mr. Dickens a neat com pliment for his good taste in the matter of dress and general personal appearance, and revels in the Fezziwig ball and over the Cratchit Christnaas dinner with an unction which was irresistably inspired by the artistic handling of their author. The Inquirer has a long, but terribly undigested disquisition upon the "reading," with a good deal Of fan ciful writing about- Demosthenes, Cicero and Roscius,with whom the critic classifies Mr. Dickens! A minute description of Mr. Dic kens's table follows down to the row of gilt nails and the exact measurements of its several parts. The writer gives a very inaccurate account of the Christmas Carol dialogues, misquoting the very first sentence and losing the whole, point of other passages, and dis misses the Pickwick Trial with seven lines. As a criticism it is too hurried, labored and over-loaded to read well. 'The Age has a brief, easy, kindly, and fair criticism. It makes the mistake, however, of calling his voice "thin and husky," and his facial expression wanting in "variety and flexibility." The latter fault, particularly, cannot certainly be charged upon Mr. Dick ens. It, moreover, undertakes to try Mr- Dickens by the standard of- "other authors reading their own works," but as he is the only author of any note who ever did read his own works, it is difficult to establish any such standard. Nor can he any longer be ranked as "an amateur and not as a profes sional speaker," but as an artist not only in the lick] of romance, but in that of the dra matic art itself.. The Morning Post has a sprightly and sensible article, giving a good humored poke at the Enthusiasts and a cutting slash at the Sneerers. Its detailed criticism of the performance last night, is, in the main, a very just one. Like everybody else, it felt dissatisfied with "Sam," who has evidently become idealized by the American public to an extent which could only be satisfied by Mr. Dickens giving his "Sam" in costume, when, we fancy, most people would hail him as their identical old friend. The Post calls Winkle "at fair success," when he was really a pro digious one, if not the most perfect character of the evening. The disappointment which the lost expresses at Mr. Dickens's first re ception shows that the writer is not familiar with the peculiarities of a quiet, critical, in. telligent Philadelphia audience. Mr. Dickens knew it better, and expressed himself after ward as delighted with the warmth of appre ciation which was manifested. The riT.BB gives a thoroughly ill-natured, dyspeptic sort of criticism. It sneers at hie whence as composed of people who will not go to the opera, and of people who have grown suddenly rich and who wish to appear intellectual. it calls the Dickens furore "cheap and meaningless," and talks about the American people "taking life" for less insults than Mr. Dickens has heaped upon our flag. ilia tones are "not natural," his inflections are "monotonous and frequently irrelevant" He does not attempt "to arouse emotion" (although the critic, if present, must have seen the alternate tears and laughter that followed each other all through the evening.) He calla it a "genteel exhibition," and advises people to charge their two dollars "to curiosity, and not to literary taste." The 'whole article is dolefully dyspeptic, and per haps Mr. Dickens himself accounted for it ilast night, when he said: "A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheats. Yon may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of -mustard, .a crumb of cheese, a fragment of au underdone potato,-" MORE FUN. The arrangements that have been made during the present season for the entertain ment of the public have never been surpassed. Moglish, German and Italian opera; concerts , and oratorios; Dickens, Mrs. Kemble and Murdoch; the Hanlon Brothers, Signor Blitz and the Skatorial Queen; lectures, balls and •'funeral obsequies;" and all other imaginable devices for the delectation of the public palate kr amusement. In pursuance of this com mon purpose to make the winter of 1567-8 a gala season, the Nrtional Union Constitutional Johnson Bread and Butter Club is giving a aeries of unique entertainments consisting of solemn reports of meetings at which *undoing resolutions are passed by tremendous majorities of six, roaring speeches delivered to the same num ber, and nominations for all the offices In the gift of the people distributed among the faithful half duzen with a liberal hand. All the six attendants at the meetings are prepared to be "standard bearers," and to aevOte themselves to any office of honor or emolument which may be "lying round Occasionally,_an extra entertainment je given. Thus, a few weeks ago, Vie Presi- Alle.st of the Club, Dr. Wilson C. Swann, was lteminated for Mayor ' of Philadqpltial The idea was good and the President, having pit kis own nomination to the vote, declued 11 carried,' amid thunders of applause, and made a speech which, bring -too good to be ajoyed by the half dozen alone, was-pub dol. It served, however, but a temporary 'tirjaooe. The people laughed for a dty or tiro over the grotesqueness of the ide t, and Oen treat , novelties,---ibe Hanlon 13x•others, t) one Or two cilia tbiugs,—put the j at of the public mind. • iko'Xi. U. (:). J, B. 8., Club is 41.1 irre- delVNty I=l pressiblo little organization, and is evidently resolved to spare no expense for the amuse ment of the community. . Accordingly it came out last night witli a new cast of cha racters, new scenery, a now plot and with all its best artists, and to-day the public is on a broad grin over the new performance. The Club has risen to higher levels, and, aban doning low comedy, aspires to the legitimate drama. From the municipal, it soars to the national. From manipulating the' mousing politicians of city wards, it assumes the charge of the Custom House. From bearing the standard of the mayoralty, it grasps the broad banner of the Presidency. It flings its folds to the breeze, and, with a cheery "Here we are again !" it salutes the ,public, while yet tingling with the pleasant sensations of Charles Dickens, with the announcement: I+'or• President, ANDREW ;TORN HON, For Vice President, • WILSON C. SWANN. "Johnson and Swann" is to be the fierce battle-cry in the coming conflict. The N. U. C. &c. Club has declared it by a vermilion edict. Under this glorious banner march proudly the six, while all the people greet the parade with undisguised amusement and delight. Seriously—if such things can be criticized seriously—the assurd proceedings of this little Club ought not to be published in the news papers. It only brings private citizens, who, as private citizens, were quiet, respectable, inoffensive people, into com mon ridicule, and does no manner of good to anybody. With Dr. Wil son C. Swann, in his individual and pgji vate capacity, the public would have nothi!g whatever to do. Like his neighbors he would sit under his own vine and fig-tree with none to molest him or make him afraid..'llut,when he makes himself a public character by such cheap machinery as the presidency of this insignificant little body of office-seekers and holders, he becomes a . proper subject for pub lic criticism, and betrays a degree of inordi nate weakness and vanity which makes hirn a source of unmixed amusement to the whole community. Such ridiculous nominations as those made last night ought to be kept out of the public papers. SOME Fii MS ABOUT lIIONARIDEIS. There are thirty-nine persons in the list of reigning sovereigns contained in the Gotha Almanac for 1868. In that for 18.19 there were forty-eight. The wars of 1859 and 1866 have, therefore, destroyed nine sovereign States, great and small, and they have been absorbed in Italy and Germany. Priam 1865 to 1867, both inclusive, the list of Monarchs contained the name of Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico. That is also dropped now in the new, volume, and the final record is made of Mexico as a monarchy, simply to mention the death of the Austrian prince. Of the reigning monarchs in this year's list, the oldest is Pope PiusN Ninth, who Will be 76 on the 18th of next - May. King William First of Prussia, in whose short reign such great changes have been wrought in Ger many, will be 71 on the 22d of March. The Emperor of France will be 60 on the 20th of April, and the Emperor of Russia will be 50 • on the 29th of the same month. Queen Vic toria will be 49 on the 24th of May, and Queen Isabella, of Spain, will be 38 oft the 10th of October. The King of Italy will be 48 on the 11th of March; the King of Sweden 42 on the 3d of May; the Emperor of Austria 37 on the 18th of August; the King of Den mark 50 on the 18th of April; the Sultan 38 on the 9th of February; the King of the ,Bel glans 33 on the 9th of April, the King of Portugal 80 on the 31st of October; the King of Bavaria 23 on the 25th of August, and the King of the Greeks 23 on the 24th of De et tuber. The youngest monarch on the list is Heinrich XXII, Prince of Reusi-Greiz, a migLty State of about forty-five thousand in habitants and an army of 334 men Prince .Heinrich will be 22 on the 28th of March. Among the sovereigns below the first rank, the King of Denmark, who has lost much territory, and who is, personally, not rich, may be remarked up on as having made a good disposition of some of his children. His oldest daughter is married, to the Prince of Wales, and if she lives, may be Queen of Great Britain; his second daughter is married to the crown prince of Russia ; and may be Empress one of these days; his second son is King of Greece, and married to a Russian princess. The crown prince of Denmark and a younger brother and sister remain yet to be disposed of in marriage. If they have as_ good luck as the others, .the, family will be alf noted as were the Saxe-Coburgs for making exalted marriages. Queen Victoria, for in stance, who has some trouble in finding Pro: testant - matches for her children, migh marry a daughter to the future King of Den mark, now twenty-five, or a son to the Prin cess Thyra, now in her tenth year, Speaking of Victoria, of her nine children four are married, and she has eleven living grand-children. Prince Alfred, now called the Duke of Edinburgh, is said to be the best of the sons. lie will be twenty-four years old next August, and may be con sidervd a good match for some German or Danish princess. Rail accounts are correct, . he is likely to make, a much better hughirid than the dissolute and shallow-brained Prince of Wales does to his good, pretty and invalid Danish wife. There are a good many other facts in the Gotha Almanac that may be stated in future articles. AN ORIENTAL HINT TO NEW YOUR. The New York newspapers are making considerable fun out of the fact that within a few days a party of Japanese went in full .lap costume to see Mayor Hoffman in his otlice. After making a fitting Oriental salaam, they offered him the Compliments of the sea son in the Western mode. They then pre sented him with a sword. In return his Dunes gave them• his photograph. The Jape now made a fresh offering of some curious ,fans, leaving the Mayor rather puzzled what to bestow.in return. With great presence of mind, he took up u pamphlet copy of his late message and handed it to them; and this bad trade so disgusted the subjects of the Tycoon that they immediately resumed their . straw sandals and shaking the municipal (bit from their soles,they quitted tlin-0 tyoral presence. There Is one view of this business wi11.% seems to have escaped the observation of the mole-es( d Golhainitp, scribes. The J.t2s are a ken set **Chaps, and it did not rdquire a very prolonged experience in New Xurk to discover that Its (initials . are the greatest peoundrele out, of Sing Sing. The great THE. • ^ 'V • • ,4 4. •t • DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-PHILADELPHIA, TTIESDAY JANUARY 14, 1865. Japanese remedy for, this official cutaneous affection of the palms is hari-kari, and thinking Mayor Hoffman the proper man to begin with, and being uowilling that he should suffer for the want of proper tools, they presented him with a ripping-up in strument of the most approved 'pattern. It must, ere this, haVe, greatly disgusted the an tipodean visitors of the New York Micado to find that be has not acted upon the hint, and after ripping himself up, sent the hari kari tools around to Fernando and Ben Wood, the Board of Aldermen, the Common Councilmen and the Court-House Commis sioners, in order that they all might imitate his example, and thus enable the people of New York to make afresh start. The Jape have yet to learn that. New York officials are an incorrigible set. They coolly pocket the tools furnished them for the pur pose and refuse to get up a grand . ltari-Icari. We honestly believe that if the United States were governed by a Tycoon with more abso lute powers than our own A. J. enjoys, and he would sentence the whole batch of Alder men and Common Councilmen to be hanged, they would manage to make a "job" of it. In the first place they would get the contract for building the gallows and swindle the Tycoon most atrociously in the way of over charges; then they would get themselves appointed on a Commission to inquire into the Gallows Corruption business, and this Commission wOUld run up a frightful bill 'for office rent, clerk hire, witness fees, stationery, &c.. And finally, when the question of swindling was settled, it would be' found that the scamps bad actually stolen the gallows and retailed it out for kindling wood, and the treasury of the Tycoon having been depleted through the various bills for incidentals, there would be no money left to buy another gallows, and k , the rascals would escape hanging after all. The Democratic party is getting on. At Selma, Alabama, they had a meeting yester day, and they actually hoisted the American flag! And what is more, there was consid erable cheering about it. This important fact we learn from special telegraphic des patches sent to the leading Copperhead news papers at the North. This promises well; the southern Democrats have long tabooed the Stars and Stripes, while the Northern ditto have shown such a wishy-washy sort of fidelity to it of late years that it amounted to but very little. Tne ordinary world of fashion takes its cue from Paris,and Eugenie dictates to all creation the law of hoops and chignons, while her august lord prescribes the cut of coats, beards and pantaloons. By the same token, the Northern Democracy copies its fashions from the South. It followed to the letter the fashion-plates set by, the opponents of the admission of California into the Union because California said she did not want sla very, within her borders ; it copied the Le compton cut, which declared that Kansas should be a slave State whether she would•or not, and it threw up its cap and hurraed for the "stern statesman ;" called Lincoln a go rilla, scoffed at New England, declared that the Union wasn't much of a Union after all, and did many other curious things because Richmond said they were the fashion, and the fashions must be followed if the Democ racy would keep itself in favor at Court. We are glad to note that the Alabama Democracy have taken to hoisting the American flag,and we earnestly hope that its Northern brethren will follow the example to the extent of holding and acting upon some honest and truthful patriotic sentiments and prin ciples. South Broad street is destined to become one of the most splendid parts of the great avenue. The only thing in the way of its rapid improvement is the freight railway, and this, it is hoped, will be removed. One of our citizens is only waiting for an as surance of this to break the ground for a splendid residence at the corner of Broad and South streets, and others are contemplated in the same neighborhood.

The maximum grade from the foot of the mountains to the summit ie but eighty 'feet to the mile, while that of many eastern roads is over one hundred. Work in the rock•cuttinge en the western elope will continue through the winter, and there Le now no reason to doubt that the entire grand line to the Pa. chic will be open for breinese in 1170. The means provided for the construction of this Groat National Work are ample. The United States grants its Six Per Cent.'llonds at the rate of from 0116.000 to 548,000 per mile, for which it takes a second /ten as eecnrity, and receives-payment to a large if not to the full extent of Its claim in services. These Bonds are Issued as each twenty.mile section is finished. and after it has, been ex. &mined by United States Commissioners and pronounced to be in all respects a firstclass road, thoroughly supplied with depots, repairshops, stations, and all the necessary rolling stock and other equipments. The United States also makes a donation of 12,800 acres of land to the mile, which will be a source of large re. venue to the Company. Much of this land in the Platte Valley is among the moat fertile in the world, and other large portions are covered with heavy pine iambi and abound in coal of the best quality. The Company in also authorised to issue its own First Mortgage Bends to an amount equal to the issue of the Government and no more. Hon. E. D. Morgan and lion. Oakes Ames are Trustees for the Bondhelders,and deliver the Honda to the Company only as the work pro acmes, 00 that they always represent an actual and pro. ductive value. The authorized capital of the Company is One Hundred Million Dollars, of whioti over five millions have beau paid in nptin the work already done. At • preeent, the profits of the Company are derived only from Ito local traffic, but this is already much more than sufficient to pay the interest on all the Bondi the Company can Issue, if not another mile were built. It if not doubted that when the avail is completed the throngt traffic of the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pad fie Btstes will be large beyond precedentand as there will 'be no competition, It can always be done at profitable rates. It will be noticed that the Union Pacific Railroad to, to fact, a Government Work, built under the enpervielon of Government officer!. and to a large extent with Go vernrnent money, and that its bonds are belied Emden Government direction.

At the usual office hour this morning, General Grant appeared at the . War Department, and arranging his papers, locked the door of the Secretary's office, and taking the key with him, proceeded to the building op posite the War Department, used as the head quarters of the army. At half-past 10 o'clock, Secretary Stanton, accompanied by his lon, ap peared at the War Department and proceeded immediately to the otric-e of the Secretary, but finding the door locked, took a seat in the ante room, where he was the recipient of congratula tion from many Senators and members of Con gress, who bad assembled to see what would Labe place. Mr. Stanton - appeared Lo be in un usually fine spirits, and converted freely with those about him. Upon the arrival of Mr. Stan ton, General Dent proceeded to headqiiarters of the army, to inform General Grant of the fact, and to obtain the key of the Secretary's office. In a few minutes he returned and placed the key in . the hands of Adjutant-General Townsend, who, with military present-arms fashion, placed it In the hands of Secretary Stanton. As soon as the latter was safely enseonsed in his offleP, the Radical members of Congress from Tennessee waled upon him In a body to present their congratulations at his restoration, and to ask him to use his influence to continue the operations of the Freed men's Bureau in the States of Tennessee and Kentucky after the 15th of next February, at which tinic,by order of the President, it ceases In these two States. Mr. Stanton replied that so long as he had any power he should use it to protect the weak, and would do his best to have the suggestions made carried out, but ho further stated that it would probably be a few days be fore matters would commence to run right in his oSlce. • As the Tennessee delegation was withdrawing, they met Gen.

Message of Governor Ward, 0 .1 Ne w Jerbey. TR] NroN, Jan. 14.—The new Legislature rite to. day. The message of Governor Marcus L. Ward is very long. The receipts of the treasury, under the head of "State Fund,"during the year ending November 30th. 1867, were $563,916 96; of which $268,259 96 were from transit duties from rail roads and canals. The disbursements were $509,056 64. The War Fund debt is $3,295,600 ; a decrease of $99,600. A claim of $777,516 76 against the United States, for advances made in arming, equipping and transporting soldiers of the State, has been reduced by $651,617 48, leav ing a balance to be adjusted in the future. The Sinking Fund is working well, and it promises an extinction of the State debt by 1883. The public schools cost during the year *896,530. The message gives various particulars concern. lug the State institutions, the Prison,. Reform School,Soldiers' Home, Soldiers' Children's Home, &c. The War History,intrusted to John Y. Foster, hue bcen completed. In conclusion Governor Ward remarks as follows on national affairs: "The condition of our national affairs excites the deepest interest in the public mind. The re storation of the whole country to its ,former peace and prosperity, the reconstruction of the Southern States upon the basis of national safety — and - the—due—protection of the great Interests of labor, and the re duction of taxation as far as is consistent with financial prudence, ought to command the Pall concurrence of all our people. For such re sults we must rely, in my opinion, on the wise and considerate action of that loyal Congress which has unswervingly fulfilled its duty to the nation. It seems, however, scarcely necessary for me to impress my political convictions upon those who have assembled here to transact the business of the State. In those convictions lam firmly groundtd in that truly Republican faith which recognizes the claims of Loyalty, Liberty and Humanity. The nationality which is symbolized by one flag, one people, and one govtrument ; the Liberty which sinks alike all questions of race or creed—the Humanity which secures and protects the rights of the humblest in the land, form the basis of a creed which no tem r orary change of public opinion can ever shake. Upon that baste our nation will be truly recon structed, and its onward and upward career will be assured alike by the wisdom of man and the favor of God." Saw 888 Burned.
