Cireulation of the New York Newspapers, One of the most remarkable statements relative to the circulation of the newspaper press of this city, hhas recently emanated from the U. S. Circuit Court ‘ef this District, under the head of “Rule 70,” regu- fating the proceedings taking place under the Bank- Ww fiad this statement in the ‘Courier esterday, which journal, it appears, the «ppointment of “Bankrupt’s official for the southern District of New Youk.” H % of proceedings in bankruptcy requir- “ed to be published im newspapers, shall be inserted. “ia at leas: three of the following papers published ‘daily in the city of New York, of which tHe Cou- “aren sp Enquema, because of heving the largest “circulation, SHALL ALWAYS BE one. The Morning, “Courier and New York Enquirer, The Journal of “Commerce, The New York Daily Exprese, The “New Yor Standard, “The New York Commer. “cial Advertiser, The Evening Post, aud The New “York American.” By this “Rule 70,” it appears that the Court has appointed the “Courier & Enquirer” the principal efficial Gazette, on the express ground that it has the “largest cireulution.” Now, it happens to be well known inthis community that such a state- ment is not founded in fact. According to the best nacans of information, the circulation of these prints age about as follows :— Cmmeviation oF titi Wate Srreer Parr: « York Ame Evening Post + © Tot RoE EH “ ‘This estimate, we believe, is a pretty fair state- arent and es near the truth as it can be got—but as we have no wish to underrate any journal, we will eorrect any item, if application be made, accompa- wied with proper authority. It comprehends the wwhoie circulation of the Wall street press, which, by the order of the U.S. Court, enjoys the whole monopoly of the advertising growing out of the Baakrup: Law, on the ground too, dat Uicy have the the largest circulation, and can therefore give the greatest publicity to these proceedings. But how stand the facts with regard to another portion of the press ‘The cash press, comprehending the Sun, Tribune, and Hera!d, to say ncthing of other prints, have a cireulation far beyond all the Wall street press, put together.

The cash press are at the head of the great intellectual movements of the age.

We give to-day one of the most important doeu- ments ever placed before this ‘breathing wort, since the celebration of the birth day of Homer in Athens, during the forty-seeond Olympiad, or the great festival tothe memory of Shakspeare, cele- brated in England on the 4th of June, 17-4 old style. Jt is the preliminary proceedings, in the great festival, or welcome, by all the talents and respectability—all the fashion and philesophy—all the virtue and genius of New York, to be given to Charles Dickens, the immortal Boz, on his arrival in this mighty democratic metropolis. Read, reflect, and prepare youreelves—ladies and gentlemen. Next week will constitute aw era in the literary history of the world. Boston can’t do the thing—and New York has to step forward and felcome the greatest original genius of the,age—the very Shakspeare of the newspaper press. This grand and glorious,movement will outstrip that even given to the heroic Lafayette, fifteen years ago. It will embrace all classes, all talente—all the bumani- ties of life—price of tickets only $5,00, cheap as Mississippi State bonds, or United States Bank stock. Some of the grandees of the age proposed to put the price of tickets at $29, some at $10—but in con sequence of the prevalence of repudiation and the failure of the banks, it was thought best to cut the price down to five dollars, admitting a lady and gentleman. Further preparations are making. All the artists in town are busy—all the milliners up to their eyes, from Madame Lefevre down to Madame Lafirage—all the tailors overwhelmed with orders for vests, coats, pantaloons—cheap for cash—no credit. All these preparations—and the anticipated display are worthy of the man—of the age—of the country—and of the imperial city of New York. Charles Dickens is a self-made genius—equal to any of the master-spirits that have given an impulse to civilization, from the time ef Moses and Ho- mer to Joe Smith, the Mormon. He began life as a simple police reporter, for a London moern- ing paper—-and he is now at the head of an original species of literature which is full of philosophy, virtue, humanity, and in- tellectual movement. Homer raised the simple ballads of Ionia into the lofty epic of all Greece— Snakspeare the old-fashioned chronicles of Holings- head into the majestic tragedy of English literature —Scott the border tales of Scotland into the classical novel—but Dickens, beginning at a distinct point in modern society—and starting from the news- paper prees, has elevated the eimple police reports into a new,classical,and original species of literature, that bids fair to outstrip every mental movement that has preceded it, and to leave its fertilizing tracee wherever its spirit is understood. He is the Burns— the Beranger—of the police report, and as such let him be honored, stuffed, feasted, wined, dined and danced, a8 one of the master-spirits of the hu- man race—one of those great minds that seize upon the salient points of the age, and give it a new and interesting direction. Dickens as a re- porter for a daily paper—as an editor of a daily paper—uae a contributor to the periodical, bas been doing in England, what we have been doing in this country—revolutionizing the Anna-Maria, Rosa- Mati!da,twaddling school of literature,and going into the real world and real eventsof humaa life, to pick up materials, and generalize living characters for the advantage, iastruction and amusement of the world uround us. In the columns of the New York Herald, many scenes can be found that will compare with the most finished in Boz’s worke. The sources of each are alike—the realities of life— and hence their similitude. Letus, therefore, bid welcome to Charles Dick- ens—he deserves ail the honor we can smother him with, short of absolute suffocation, Hurrah! Welcome to Charles Dickens—The Boz Ball, to be given under the direction of a Com mittee of Citizens of New York, at the Park Theatre, on the cvening of the 14th of February next, It having been announced in the public prints, that Mr. Charies Dickens had landed in the United Siates, a numerous meeting of citizens was held at the Astor House, on Wednesday evening, January the 26th, to take into consideration the propriety of tendering to him a suitable welcome on bis arrival in New York The meeting was culled to order by Wm.
