Tears ago his domestic troubles made his family circle painfully conspicuous before the British people, and censure was freely be stowed upon one or the other p a rty to the de plorable conjugal quarrel by the intimate friends of either. But Dickens lived down the scandal, and it is a sufficient refuta tion of it, perhaps, that his children have always manifested for him the tenderest affection.

But no people will trust ns far, or regard our debt as safe, u ntil specie payments are restored ; and, u n til that time, our bonds will rank, as now, with speculative securities in foreign markets, and not w ith the public funds of the leading European nations. BOOZBINDEES’ CLOTH. T h a t an exorbitant tariff is not onlvagreat oppression in itself, but becomes the instru m ent of a m u ltitude of petty oppressions in the hands of those who administer it, is proved every day by experience in our custom Take, for example, such an article as book binders’ cloth, which is and can.be used for scarcely any purpose but as a raw material for making books ; u nder tbe present tariff it has always been classified among the manu factures not otherwise provided for, and taxed thirty-five per cent. There is but one mann- factory of this cloth in the United States, which thus enjoys the enormous “ protec tion,” or premium of thirty five per cent., or four large business profits, on its entire pro duct, a t the expense of publishers. Nor is there a ny compensation to publishers in the law. It is a maxim of the protection ists that every manufactured article ought to iw materials, so that have some premium e expense of their neighbors. But the duty on completed books is only twenty-five per c e n t.; a very h igh one indeed, a n d a heavy burden on education, b ut not a t all an equiva lent for the heavier duties levied on almost everything that enters into the manufacture of books, and ten per cent, less than the duty on this particular article. Thus the publishers of books suffer under an actual and large dis crimination against them, an anti protection, which, in the aggregate, goes far to destroy their business. But monopolies are never satisfied; and the manufacturers of this cloth now demand that the Treasury shall abandon the natural and obvious classification of this cloth, and g to the number of ' the inch, doubling the duty by a forced interpretation of the law. and m aking the monopoly y Department has isideration, and has sent out a circular calling for statements from 18 interested, before a final decision is T h e r e « still room to hope that the officers in charge of this matter will not do the injustice to our own publishers which la de manded of them ; but there is no room at a ll to hope that the present tariff can ever be ad ministered so as to make it other than a con fused mass of oppressive duties, framed for the benefit of private interests, and under w h ich these interests will constantly contend for influence enough to secure to themselves the utmost possible plunder at^the people’s all forms of industry may bav at the expense of the ir neig CHABLES DICKENS. So short a time has elapsed since Mn- Dickens was in this country, and we have heard of him so recently in bodily healiJi and vigor, a t civic feasts, or at his charming house a t (iad’s Hill, surrounded by his friends, that it is startling to read the cable despatch which relates that he died last night, of paralysis. The career of Mr. Dickens is so familiar to the majority of readers that it seems almost superfluous to retrace it, in giving expression to the common feeling of sorrow for h is death. Bom a t Portsm outh on the 7th of February, 1812, th e son of an officer in the pay depart ment of the Royal Navy, he was placed at the proper age in an attorney’s office, w ith the purpose of making him a lai his destiny was not to law. The true bent of his genius was not long in developing itself iu contributions to the newspaper press, and in early manhood he became connected w ith the True 8un, and soon afterwards w ith the Mornitig Chrmide as a reporter and critic of passing topics. Here we m ight pause a moment, to say that the training of Dickens was that of no venerable university, of no literary coterie, of no school of society, a n d to claim him as the one g reat crowning contribution of journalism to the world’s Uterature—^but this were a narrow and vainglorious thing in a journalist. The vision and th e faculty di vine w ith which Dickens was gifted would 0, auu IS society. Another is the wife o f Mr. Charles Collins, author of “ After D ark,” “ A Cruise on W heels,” and other novels, which have been overshadowed by the greater popularity of the writings of his brother, Mr. W ilkie Collins. In London Dickens lived mostly at the G ar rick Club, where he filled as large a place as John Dryden used to fill at W ill’s Coffee House. There was, at one time, some alarm created lest he should leave the Garrick, in consequence, as it was whispered, of the fact that one of his friends and publishers had been black-balled there ; but the trouble was composed, and the G arnck knew bim to the last. His town apartments were comfortably fitted up, but were not in the fashionable quarter. They constituted the second floor of the house in W ellington street.

Dickens m ight be seen at itly than anywhere else Verrey's, a restaurant in tbe upper part ot Regent street, where, often with W ilkie Col lins, he sat a t a little table in the corner re served for him especially by the mmtre d'hotel. The first question that will be asked, after the natural expression of regret at tbe loss of Dickens, is, “ Had he finished Edwin Drood?” A reasonable apprehension m ight well exist that this work had been left a mere fragment, like the “ Dennis D u v a l” of Thackeray. But the assurance was given by the English press, at the time the first sheets were sent to the p rinter, that the whole of the work had been completed, and we have since had little glimpses of the a u thor resting from his task, in careless freedom and the exercise of hospitality, at his country home in Kent- There is an affecting resemblance in the manner of h is passing away to the death of Thackeray, his great rival, seven brief years ago. The announcement in both cases struck upon the world w ith suddenness. No warn ing had been given of the coming blow. Of each it may be said, that With no fiery throbbing pain.

The general beUel that it is highly condensed nonrlshment, and that a pound ol it contains as much nutritious matter as thirty pounds of beef, does not bear examina- 1. A chemical analysis shows that the differ ence between the extract and good beef Is this: In tbe iormer there is but one-third as much er, there Is one-lourth less albumen, no tat, four times as much mineral m atters; while a of bodies called creatine, creatinine, Inosic acid and osmazone are introduced which are not found in beet at all. Now creatine is analogous in many of its prop erties to quinine, morp'nine, strychnine and other We bases which powerfully affect the ner- system. The other substances con tained in the extract are less understood. But it seems certain that, as combined In the Juice of the flesh, these articles Stimulate the nerves ol the stomach, and awaken and sustain both the appetite and the digestive powers. In these respects they act like tea, cot- lee, beer or wine, but have none of the depressing ive effects which follow these stimulants, 'rofessor Lankester Insists, “ whatever doubts may arise as to the action of creatlae and its consequences on the ultimate nutrition ot the nerves and muscles, there can be no doubt of the benefielal action ot tbe mineral matters contained in Liebig’s extract!” It contains phosphorus, calciuam, potassium, sulphur and iron; elements indispensable to the body, yet which may not be supplied snfflciently In ordi nary food. It may thus often supply needed nourishment to the nerves and muscles. The extract is made in South America and Australia at ten shillii including carriage, Eugene L. Sullivan and John F. Swift are now added to the list of Republican candidates for Governor ol California. As there are still many months in which to canvass, California will un doubtedly supply candidates for other states, to lings EngUsh per pound, and it sells in England at hlrty shillings; and much more here.

The summer exhibition will consist of all the works in the present spring collection which the exhibitors may permit to remain over, and of such other meritorions works as may be offered. Artists represented in the present exhibition are requested to leave their pictures now on the walls, as long as may be convenient to them, and all works will be retained until otherwise required by their owners. The summer exhibition will, like those of the winter, be changeable, so that works may be added at any time, or may always be withdrawn after reasonable notice.

The engagement opened with Mr. James Schonberg’s original fairy spectacnlar pantomime of \ Hop o’ my Thumb,” in which this famous troupe fully sustains Its popularity, and is greeted at each performance with cheers ot delight and approbation. The pantomime performedirmed inn somee twelveelve scenes,enes, withith allll tl care thihat i som tw sc w a the t has gained lor this theatre its present position. The- Interest of the performance is also greatly enhanced by the skillnl feats of Mr. Dan Leon. Another feature on the programme Is the singing of the popular song ol “ Love among the Roses” by little Ignacio Martlnettl, who bos only reached his sixth year. Taking the performance as a whole, it Is a very enjojable and entertaining one. It includes also the comical farce of the “ Young Widow,” in which Miss Theresa Wood and Messrs. Eeeno and Mestayer act in a very cred itable manner. Apart from tbe theatrical depart ment may be seen throngbont the day one ot the largest and finest collection of ammals ever as sembled together.

In the First Indiana district, now represented in Congress by Mr. Nihlack, democrat, the Re publicans are exerting themselves to effect a change.
