Wo -trust he will itoceivo a welcome that will show that out countrymen will not only forget his ungracious, and ungrateful treatment of their characteristically enthusiastic reception of him some seventeen years agO) hut that they will remember that in that time he has added new laurels to his literary fame, and wo trust that' his judgment has also , been’improved and strengthened by the, lessons of experience - he has since learned. We would not, indeed, ad vise that he should' be’ greeted with the ; same hurra that signalized his visit in 1841-42—or that on ovatum Should ho extended to him in every city,—or' that New York should lay wreaths of flowers. at his feet, or that Phila delphia shduld 'come forth headed by - its Ho norable Toms “ with their hearts in their hands,” or that he should be pestered and pet ted wherever he passed, without any regard by bis admirers for his comfort, or for their own dig-, nity- Let him feel that a great people have magnanimously overlooked his most unjust re turn for, their sincere hospitalities, while che rishing a' proper and dignified' admiration for his'contributions to the literature of the world. a. CbabieS Dickens was' horn nt Xandport, Portsmouth, England,' in .1812. He was intended for the profe&Sion of the law, hut his father, a reporter ,of_ Parliamentary debates, having set, the examplei'tho son also became a reporter in the Parliamentary corps of a daily newspaper. In this great, school—which (as many Instances in the Old World as in onr own country have proved) is singularly calculated to prepare young men for the battle of life— • he laid tho foundation for an enduring fame. Thrown into association with the, public men of Great Britain on the one hand, and by his journalistic, connections made acquainted With ’ every-grade of common life oh tho other, he 'was uhcohscioiisly prepared for the display of tho peculiar qualities of his mind 'in that field upon which lie'afterwards became so prominent a character. Ho was first engaged in the'office .of the London True Sun, and subsequently on the Morning Chronicle, in the evening edition of , which appeared the “ Skotches of "Life and Character”—after-, wards published as “ Sketches by Dor,” in two volumes, in 1888-87. The extraordinary merits of these papers induced an enterprising publisher to engago'Mr. Dickens and Mr. Sev modb, (a comic draughtsman,).“the one to write, and tho other to illustrate, a book to ex hibit the adventures of a party of cockney sportsmen.” Seymoub committed,suicide be fore tho book was finished, and the illustrations were continued by Habiot K. Bbowne, under tho signature of “ Pkiz/ ! Tho reception of this book, in England and the United States, immediately established tho fame of Diokens as an unrivalled humorist, and a keen observer of human nature. Tho scholar in his closet, the statesman in ids library, the mechanic in liis workshop, tho thrmor, and in fact every class and condition, hailed it with enthusiasm, Tho newspapers were filled with praises of the young writer. Old "Weller, and Sam Woilcr, and Pickwick, and his associates, with the other characters that figured in that remarka ble book, not only formed tho subject of con versation in all circles, but attracted crowds to our theatres, where they were dramatised for tho popular amusement. Money poured iqto the coffers of Mr. Dickens, and tho pub lishers (md file public alike insisted upon more Pickwicks and We)}ers. Tlfese were speedily followed,by “Nicholas Nickleby,” «flliycr Twisf,” the “ Old Curiosity Shop,” “Barna by .Bndge,” oH which were in succession eagerly purchased by hundreds sf thousands of delighted readers, On flip completion pf “Master Humphrey’s Clock,” in which the two preceding tales were • included, Jfr, Sickens visited America; and when ho - -y- ij,iyn flo/T?" -1 —3id—g*«M— . the result of produced by his tour, in his “ American jQTftcg for perioral Circulation,” published in J 842, -This fyoftk was infinitely discreditable to Mr. Dickens, not merely in matter, hut in manner. ; ft WB3 hastily written, and filled with little of, the ge nial and generous spirit that had made bis other pages so attractive and fascinating. We forbear alluding to that putt of it in which ho spoke of Philadelphia, especially pf hjs yjsit to tho penitentiary, and the extraordinary iq corisistency betwopq hjs speeches at the din ner given to him ■in that ipsflfliflpq, nod flip opinions noted down after his return jo fit? native country. Those, who had straggled for the rivalry of introducing him to the American puhljo wore covered with ridicule. Of conrso, ' every species .of condemnation was poured out, in retaliation, upon hinj, jffe was attacked, in the newspapers and mercilessly ridiculed ftf every variety of caricature, fho piojtt successful 'reply to his criticism Upon the Americans was that entitled “Change for American Notes in Letters from London to New York,” by a lady. Nor did lie tiro in his ill-natured allusions to the people of this coun try; for in “Martin Chuzzlcswif,” published in 1843, he continued to laugh at ills menus, -lip Americans. Visiting Italy, in 1844, where he remained for about n year, he established in 1845 a new morning powspapey ip London, en titled the “Daily Hews/* whjcp liecouductei for a short time,The flews is now a leading journal. After his retirement from (die Neyis he gave to the world “Domhcy and Soil,” “ David Copperflcld,” “ Bleak,House,” “The Child’s History of England,” “Memoirs of .Joseph Grimaldi,” and various “Christmas Tales,” among which tho “Cricket on the Hearth ” and the f rphriptopas Carol ” were pre-eminently successful. The ‘ffyipkep pn the Hearth,” Itself a domestic dramo, was played for hundreds of nights in this and other cities, realizing enormous profits for tlio thoatri cal managers. To these literary labors of Mr. Dickens mjjst.bo added “Hard Timed for Theso Times,” published in 1864; “Littia Dorrit,” in 1857 ; and the pjdohllphmehtof ■«Household Words,” probably the most successful journal of tho sort ovor known, even in these days of progress and of enter prise in newspapors. It Is stated that :the circulation of “ Household Words,’? In Lon don alone, in the single year of 1868, amounted 1 to ninety thousand copies j it is an oxtrp- ordinary, production exhibiting no p pply fer tility of conception and imagination, font re markable for tbo.practfcfli ib/ormatipn it con veys on scientific,legal,,4omo9tle, and general subjects* ■ Of courso, Jfr. could not have prepared all these papers Mm self* although his prolific pen doubtless touched overy one of the pages. Other writers of gifted abilities and attainments have, it is said, given him theiv aid s' ai}4 successful imitation of his exquisite stylo conceals tjio imposition from, detection, especially when the* jwjiojo #rork is polished under his o\yn personal super intendence, prior to its being sent before the pnblio with the prestige of bis name, A re cent difficulty with his publishers, grdjribg out, of certain domestic troubles of Mr; Dickesb, iod,uced him to abandon'tho “ Household Worits,” and to inaugurate a #p)v periodical en titled “AU the Year Round,” in wnich tho sajpo characteristics are preserved, and eyen moire industry and ability manifested.

Tho appointment-of Alexander. Dimitry to, the ' Central Aiueriowi-niißßldja TriU givo groat aatlnfabr aon to his many friends in this r oily' end in NeW' Orleans. Bfr. Dimitry is a gentleman cxfcraor dinary acquirements and genius, well acquainted with the Spanish and other languages, an accom plished writer and speakor, and at the time of his appointment occupying an important desk In tho. Dopartmoiit of Stato. Ho is rather impetu ous for'a diplomatist and somewhat cccbntric,and, ©a he goes,to a. field requiring groat command of temper, and upon an orrand from which muoh is oxpeoted, he must mustor all his amiabilities and all his prudonoe. Mr. Dimitry was a graduate of Georgetown College, and afterwards, I believe, a professor of that institution. Ho was married, in this city, to Miss Mills, the daughter of a highly respootable ettison, and has lived a numborof years in Louisiana, where ho oecnpiod an important posi tion in the University of that State. It is so rare that literary men, men who devote their livos to tho acquisition of knowledge rathor than to tho pursuit of political ambition,* aro rccognisod and rewarded by, an Administration, that it gives mo special pleasure' to spoak of this. appointment in terms of pTfilso. Mr.Buohanan has,in tho selec tion of Dimitry, boon onablod for tno first timo to oariy.out hia plodge that ho would appoint no citizen on a diplomatic mission who did not under stand tho language of tho court to which ho was accredited; I need not instance tho cases in whioh he has not como tip to bis own declaration in this respeot, but tho instances of J. B. Bowlin, Goorge TV*.'Jones, John Bigler, and Edward A. Turpin, all sent upon important missions-on the South American Continent, not to go into particulars or-a full enumeration of some still more unfortunate, selections, of whioh J. Glancy Jones and B. F. Angel are two examples in the Old WotW, will show bow entirely Mr. Buchanan has ignored that which he voluntarily regarded ns an indispensable requisite when bo came into power., / While you notico the pledges of 1826, and parti cularly Mr. Cobb’s speech At West Chester, in Sep-' tember of that' year, in support of the doctrine that tho Kansas-Nebraska bill and the Cincinnati platform meant -neither more nor less than that a Territorial Legislature could prohibit orproteot sia yery in the Territories, you seem to have forgotten that the present Secretary of tho Treasury went to Baltimore, at a very, early day , in that campaign, (tho 22d of April, 1856;) and, there made a speooh; which is even stronger upon this point than those ho made in your ewn State. I hayo had tho plea sure of reading some extracts from that speech. It has not heretofore been published. A rfjioyfc was taken down i from his lips at the’time, and I may, heronftor, giro*you some of these extracts, in order ,to show that even before a Southern audience Mr. Cobb did not hesitato to assert tho Very same prin ciples for whioh suoh men os you are now sought to bo excommunicated by tho Administration. He then and thore fully asserted and maintained tho dootrino of popular sovereignty. ■ The States, of to-day, opntalns the following editorial, whioh will explain the .manifest disposi tion to mutiny, recently more than onco, by Bennett, of tho Nov? York Herald : ' ’ - *f We presume tho. readers* of.tho Now* York Herald have noticed recently the great deficiency of Washington nows in that paper. They may de sire to know tho reason for it. It is well understood here that the Herald’s facilities forgetting Import ant’ information from the different departments.of tho Government-, have been considerably curtailed of late. Orders, we understand,.have been issued, to the effect that tho agents of < Jack Ketch of the press’ aro not to have any "advantage hereafter over other papers outside of Washington city. Brigadier Goneral George Washington; Bowm&n’B paper, it is said, has boon seriously injured ,by_tho Government officers giving Important information to the Herald in advanoo of it. As the Brigadier announced in tho first issue of thefrowttV/tttow, that it was his intention to print ( emphatically a newspaper,* ho found to hto great disappointment that tho Herald got all the news whioh ho considerc <1 rly bolongecLto him os tho ofltofai organ, while got . nothing. His protest,, however, hfts no doubt, had tho effect to eaugo this oh an go of policy towards tho Herald . What will ‘Jack Keton of tho press ’ say to it?” Before the session of Congress, you may be certain Bennett* willbooutin favor of Seward, or Cameron, or Banks, Or Chose, or Halo, or some other aeotionnl candidate. .If he does not, there is no truth in tho saying that “ tho dog will return to its vomit, and tho sow to its wallow.” Mr. Buchanan cajoled him,' after his election, by one or two petty appoint ments, and by personally noticing and flattering him, and also by a promiso to furnish the corres pondents and reporters of the Herald with tho freshest departmental and diplomats news. In this, as in respect to all tho rest of his promises and pledges, J. B. has beon os folthloss as the wind, and Bennett finds that ho has beon fooled. It is reported here, ho is nlroady preparing a resitmi of the bitter things that have been said against Mr. Buohanan before and since his elootion, which, when finished, aro to be stewed together in a caul dron of the most poisonous malignity, and that tt is to bo presented to tho Presidential lips through tho columns of the Herald, to a few preeks.

[From a Special Correspondent.] Something is tho matter with tho Croton water.’ It is mouldy and musty. It is rovolting alike to the taste and smell. I presume that occasional doad cats aro pitched into the reservoir by enter prising boys; but tho prosenti is. not the cßsenco’of cat; it is more it' is,’ ; in filthy.'- won’t euro it.- It i 3, indoed, so. thoroughly nasty that I quite agreo with the gen tiemabV who thought that water was very good for bathing purposes, and.-navigation and, washing— but, said ho, “ for a stcady drink) £ive me him !” Wo shall all bo driven to rum as a stoady drink,' unless the Croton oan bo absturged and purified. Lager won’t do. There is too muoh wator in that, and too fow. hops. As for myself, I melt ice— being temperate among the temperate, and hold ing all potent beverages in abhorrenco. But although the elomont’ of ■ water is “ tolera ble and not to bo endured,” tho clement of air is delightful.' Tho weather is cool, sweet, and pleasant. Never w.as there a nicer summer'. It has made the city bettor than the country. A great many have very sensibly staid in thoir own comfortable dwellings in town, and ocoupiod their own spacious oharabers, instead of tho miserable little ten-by-fourteen boxes, dignified os rooms-in the country hotels and “housen,” reeking of straw beds and stifling you with,a, closo, damp, atmos phere. In my opinion the country is a humbug. Green aro they who “babble of green-; fields. Give me briok and paving stones. A man lives in the town ;he but vegetates in tho country. * ' The rains have been abundant, and the Croton, . thoughJutteriy’deteßtable; bOth to taste and smell, is welcome in its bountiful application' to tho sprinkling of streets. Never was the city in a- L CleaUer, J healthier; or in general better condition. True, tho pavements aro still generally In a dis graceful state, of dilapidation—especially jn those streets whereon rails aro laid—but the immortal Delavan, new city inspector, and tho illußtrioua PillBbury,. new general superintendent of police, have done and are doing their,duty nobly., Except the Croton, when yon raise it to your.llps, nothing stinks. ! Countless loads of garbage (whioh, If ap plied to* tho land, would have raised a wilderness of vegetables) have been dumped into.the North and East rivers,'and chlorido of limohas been scattered through tho gutters with no sparing hand. Eren the Flvo Points smell less rankly than Usual/ The reproach of. dirt* and stench is in a. fair way of being removod from this city, whicK ought to be, with its two rivers and great bay, the cleanest in the world; : % • Thore is also a poroeptible diminution in moral nuisances. The worshipful company of 'beggafr has been largely diminished. The basement doors aro comparatively let alone, and tho hordes of malo' and tomato mendicants whioh usod to infest the areas aro oompolled to burrow in their own holes; What is more astonishing than all is, that you can now find a policeman, if you want one, in some other locality, than round the doors of grog shops. They have ceased to he habitually boosy/and the es3enco of tobacco, no longer streams out of the corners of their mouths. UUder the illustrious Pillsbury they have become decent,.orderly, olean, attentive, and civil. They do not treat, thieves any better than honest men. In tho foshionablo localities, numbers of mag-- nifioont mansions closed. Dust Is on tbeir front-blinds and tarnish on their door-plates. The owners-are or were presumed to |>e out of town. S ime, if notmany, are in foot hi town; but they live in tho book rooms, and novor como out exoept in darkness. It would compromise their positions in sooiety to be known to bo in the city, during tho months of July and August; it would be tho vory acme of snobbishness. Ask whero they aro, and they hoar you ask; tho servant’s re ply is, the family are in Europe, or at Niagara, or Saratoga, or Newport, or at the soasldo, or among tho mountains; while the foot is they aro munch ing mutton-chops at noon in tho back basement. ' , And not only aro tho houses, but also the fashionablo churches olcsed. Tho amount of gen teel worship done hero during tho summer solstice is trifling. It is only tho poor, whom wo have with us always and in plenty, that gather together in the less protontious sanctuaries. -To them the scats are freo,or they ofln sit in rich men’s.pews— such rich mon as, acoor(|ing to tho gospel in Henry Ward Boocher, havo tho oxolusivo right to tho best seats in tbo convonticles—an(|, indeed, to all tlio Boats, if tbo preacher be popular onough to make thorn soli; that is, if he gives a flrst-rato, jolly, entertaining sermon every Sunday, and exhi bits .an occasional yellow girl in his pulpit, or, rather, on his platform (since the pulpit is dis carded), as an interesting fcmalo fugitive from the galling chains of slavory. r If Beocher’s gospel be carried out, and tho poor be klokod utterly forth from his, and‘other rich' dwellings of the Lord’s elect, “ oonferendo-rooms” will hqyo tq bo provided under the main edifice, wherein the poor may congregate, and, thus sitting under tho (froppipg? of tho sauotuary, ho enabled to Imbibe a few into their parched and thirsty mouths, by fayor of holes bored through; the floor of tho aislas fojMbot Christian objoct. Probably Boocher would change thorn also, and thus radons thom to a place on the oxtoriorof his now “ Church of the Pilgrims,” whioh, as it is said, Is to: contain 10,000 inside,* and 15,000 outside. A good joke is told of Booohor and Park Benjamin, though it'is probably not trno: On one *of thoir lecturing expeditions, thoy wore, riding in the same railway : ear. (Jetting - into conversation about proaohjng, Bocoher was so courteous as to ask Benjamin to como ovor (q Brooklyn sopie 'Sab bath morning and hoar him. “ I do not know whore.your meeting-house Is,” said Benjamin! “how shall I find it?” “Oh,” repliedßeeoher, “ all you have to do is to come over one of the fer riejj,.ahd follow the crowd.” “I would como,” continuod IJenjamin, but for one roason.” “Ah! what is that ?’? asked Beecher. said Benjamin, with a merry look'out of'his eyos, “I rnako it an jnyariablo rulo noyer to go to any-plnco of anitfseijynf Sppdays t’?

To this end, three or four carpenters erect a scaffolding to near the top, and attaching a rope Bwung over tho limb below, cut off andjpwgrtho whole by. small-sections. Fifty to sixty dollars the interred in thus felling somo of the larger specimens. In fact, ahqndred sources of almost oongtant expenditure exist here which the casual observer would scarcely imagine. The two “ receiving vaults,” situated in the rear. of , tho chapel, and adjoining tho houso.of the su perintendent at North Laurel Hill, are a feature of much value and importance.

Early yester day morning,'or in the .course pf th§ night prece ding,/a 1 telegraphic' despatch Was reoeivedfrom Pans by Marshal Valliant, now commanding the Frepch aray,of Italy, desiring him to aoeelorato the movements of ; that part of the army whioh-ia to retnrn to France at once. Instead of marching, asit had been intended they shonlddo, tho troops are to be sent by J railway. Tho French force in northern Italy ’is now'l2o,ooo strong. Some of tho, reinforcements that eame from France in the course of tho; present month- were* sent back forthwith., Of the 120,000,60,000 are to be forthwith despatched to Susa and Genoa by. rail, at tho rate of 3,soo'per day to each place. ‘ , - 'At Genoa.they.will he' shipped to Mar seilles, while from Susa they will maron across the Mont Cenis. '. This passage has Mtberto been made, a four days’ march (during the prosent war) by the French.- but it'might easily be_;done in threo, evon by soldiers so heavily laden os they are. The des tination of these 60,000 men, or at least of the greater part of.them, is Paris, where they are to o assembled in tirpe for the on the 15th August, i Tbd ‘are; to be taken to Pans j and.even the Torcos are to bo treated to a sight of 'the capital. What Anstrlan shot and shell have spared of these ferocious African sava ges will shortly be displayed npon the Boule vards. It is presomable that thoy will there be kept in -rotherbeiter order than they have been in Italy, whore-they.have made.themselves remarkable for their disregard of the rights of property,- and for their fierce menaces and prompt recourse to their arms when their habit of appropriation was op posed. To revert, however, to the intentions of the French Government with rospeot to the 60,000 ton fresh from the batUe.flelAs of Lombardy, whom ' - o Parisians are scon to have an opportunity of greeting and applauding. When Paris and the 60,00.0 have been regaled with the sight of each other, the latter will be promptly conveyed to the farther, however, be ■, it clearly understood, than to the Frenoh bank of that stronm. in whoso Immediate vicinity it is pro posed for a time to quarter them. That* this last step is completely decidedly npon I will not assume the responsibility of positively affirming, but that H i| |n . contemplation tho information that has reached me scarcely- mo to- doubt. On the other Jmnd,' although. now certainly contemplated, there is timq for change between tins and the 16th of August. 'A‘twofold obioot is awlgued to the movement; it la desired fo enow with what rapidity, wore it necessary, a French army-could be irauß ported from the scene of victories in the south to fresh enterprises in the north; and, also, it fo in tended to give a hint to Prussia, pot to interfere overmuch in the diplom&tio arrangements which will, porhaps, be in aotire progress three weeks hence.” Hbaht-Renmnq Scehe—Appaluso Death FROH-HruBOPEOBiA.—We are nearly every Iper doomed to record one or. mate of thoso most awfoT of- deaths in which the King of Terrors as sumes tho appalling shape of hydrophobia. Some four weeks ago, a Fronohman,'named Louis Laclere, a laborer, was bitten on tho arm and wrist by a dog. About four days ago thq first symptoms of the hor rible malady ho feared-began* to manifest them selves. His employer procured hie admission to the city hospital, where the best accredited reme-' dial measures were at once studiously adopted in his behalf. Dospito these,'he steadily grew worso. For tho most part entirely conscious of his condi tion, he gradually became the> helpless prey of a series of torrlblo spasms, which hopelessly in creased jn intensity and frequency. His agonies wore as if'an internal fire were consuming him. In calmer intervals, when water could bo offered ’ him, he would snatch tho dipper and greedily gulp the draughtr-up&n .which a. spasmodic closure of tho glottis and a'sonso.of mortal .strangulation, as in'lockjaw, would attack him and bring on the fiercest features of his madness. He would start violently and snappingly at the bystanders, giving vent, w»b horrihly oopterted features, to noises re sembling those of. a forlous dog. * The spectacle is described as heart-rending and shocking iu the ex treme, until death released him from his tortures on Sunday night.—Sf.
