CHARLES DICKENS IS DEAD: Charles Dickens, the great English noveiist, isdead. The unexpected and sorrowful tidings Were conveyed to us throngh the Atlantic Cable this morning, and no sadder message has it ever brought us. The announcement will be received with grief no less profound in this country, than in the land of his birth, for we are a reading people, and have long since forgotten any grievance we imagined we had against the gveatest writer of fiction of the century, in the great pleasure the immortal creations of his genius have afforded us. Even if he had not in his own frank and manly way corrected the im- pression created by his earlier works that he was hostile to our people and our institations it would not have detracted from his popularity here, where nearly every man, woman, and child is indebted to him for hours and days of unalloyed pleasure, and where the charactors he has depicted are as real and as familiar to us as if we had lived among them for years. The opening chapters of the story on which he was engaged at the time of his death, ‘‘ The Mystery of Edwin Drood,”’ show that he had lost none of of his peculiar power. On the contrary, hi+ admirers think it gave ample promise of being in some respects his best work. Mr. Dickens’ readings trom his own works in this country in 1867-8 are remembered with d i_bt by the multitudes who crowded the halis where he gave those unique entertainments. The pathos he threw into those affecting pas- sages of David Coppertield, which even on the cold j rinted page move the most unsympathetic readers, was in striking contrast with the ro!- licking style in whichehe related the comical incidents at ‘Bob Sawyer’s party,” or the sly humor with which he gave the trial scenes from “The Pickwick papers,” showing him to have been a thorough master of the dramatic art. Mr. Dickens was born at Portsmouth, Eng , Feb.7, 1812. His father, Mr-doha Dickens, who bad held for many years an office in the Navy Pay Department, retired om a pension in 1815; and being a man of some fiterary faculty, he became a feporter for the in Lowden, He intended bis son for the of an at- torney, and placed him in @n for upon his mainl: t: a taste by an indiscriminate ene See 's connections exchange his uncongenial occupation for the more agree- ab‘e duties of a newspaper critic and er. He was attached to the True Sun after- wards to the Morning Chronicle, which was at that time a daily paper of large circulation a intiuence. A series of sketches of London life, manners, and localities, published in the even- ing edition of the Chronicle, under the are of “Boz,” attracted much attention, and showed the unknown writer to be —— of aremark- able and original vein of o! ion and retiec- tion, though by some it was regretted that such powgrs were exercised to 50 it an extent in the Gelineation of scenes of vice and misery and the exposure of the weaknesses and infirmities of humanity. The sketches were afterwards collected and published (182%) in two volumes. The abi isplayed in these sketches was so Lomy that Mr. Hall, of the tirm of Chapman & all, proposed to the writer the scheme of pre- ng a work of fiction, to appear in monthiy numbers, with illustrations by Seymour, acomic draughtsman. it was su, d that ‘the ad- ventures and mishaps of a club of originals would furnish a happy medium for the powers both of author and artist. Upon this hint the first nun ber of the “Pickwick Papers” was written, and et with illustrations~ by Seymour. This clever artist died by his own hand be‘o e t 1e appearance of the second nim- ber; and the task of illustration devolved upon por to K. Bows, whe, w cond ure of ““Phiz,” continued with great spirit the style of pictorial embellishment whlch “his predecesor so harnily begun. ‘She work was completed and published collec- e's in 1ss7. But before it was tinished it had 3 ee of popularity to which noth- ingin English literature since the publication oF the W: Everybody, laughing over the luli Pickwick and his associates, the trial scene of Bardell vs. Pickwick, and the quaint sayings, grotesque comparisons, and inimical conversa- tions of the elder and younger Weller. Between the appearance of the first and last number the author rose to be the most popular living writer in the English language. By some the “Pickwick Papers” is still esteemed Dickens best work. His next work “Oliver Twist,” appeared originally in monthly naim- bers in “Bentley’s Miscellany,” a magazine of which Dickens ‘assumed for a time the editor- ship, and was published collectively in 1533. This novel fully sustained the high reputation acquired by the “Pickwick Papers.” If the oe not 80 roar abundant, so genial, ere was a deeper io pewer, especially in painting the darker passions of the soul and the tercible retributions of silt. . serial numbers, published collectively in 1809,the “Lifeand Adventures of ickleby;”” which, with some little greatest variet power.

After the publication of this work Dickens made a visit to America, arri in Boston January 22, 1842, and sailing for England on June following. He was everywhere received with a degree of enthusiasm mate to is alarity as a writer and excitable of the American people. His views of American life and manners were published upon his return, at the close of 1342, under the title of “American Notes for General Circula- tion,” a work which added nothing to his repu- tation, though it was ‘here and there with gleams of his a in 1843 he wrote his‘ Obristmas Carol,” a short story inculcating the virtues of benevo- treat favok’ everd!

Dickens had also acted with distinguished success in private theatrical, and has publicly read his own works to large and gratitied audi- ences in almost every part of England and America. He made ‘his second visit to this country m the fall of 1867, and was warmly welcomed wherever he went. His readings from his own works the next few months will be long remembered by those who had the pleasure to hear him. It was in 1858 he amicably separated from Mrs. Dickens with whom he had lived some 2) years and had several children. The cause was an uncongeviality of temper, implying no dis honor to either party. — FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS, This Afternoon’s Proceedings, Farpayr, June 10.
