"a ten, ‘The n 0s, 64, ui | NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1870. THE MURDER ON THE SOUND. Excitement on City Island—The Corpse Exe ed and Identified—Probable Assassina- Bonrd a Sound Steamor=Stra! Conduct of a Relative. Within the past few days the isolated inhabitants of City Island—forming one among the many verdant ‘Spots in Long Island Sound—nhave been diverted from their pastoral sports and fishing excursions by a de- gree of excitement seldom experienced in thetr midst, The washing ashore of a murdered man in their neighborhood, the farcical inquest on and uncere- monious burial of the corpse, and subsequently the exhumation and identification of the assassinated stranger, form at present the topic of conversation among the residents of the island, As the particu- lars relating to the finding of the body alluded to Were given im the HeRraup of yesterday, together with the informal tuvestigation as to the cause of death, it ig unnecessary here to reiterate the tragic story. On Thursday evening Joun Richards and Morris Keeze, of New York, accompanied by a boarding house keeper from Bridgeport, Conn., called on the poormaster at City Island, and produced a note from Captain Ward, of the Tenth police precinct, stating that the first named party belteved the deceased to have been his brother, Christian G. Richards, late of Kast Bi port, and requesting that the body be exhumed for his inspection. They had in their pos- session a likeness of the missing man, which Poor- master Baxter at once recognized as that of the murdered stranger. Having first obtained a@ permit fi a 5 from Junice Bou, why ld ihe aqua gud afey on the d }, the body was exhumed and fully identified by Richards a8 that of hig brother, and also by the house keeper, at whose place the decease n staying in Eriegeport. It was ascertained from Poormaster Baxter, by a HERALD reporter, who visited City Island yesterday afternoon, that Jolin Richards, who was about visiting Europe on important business, wrote to his brother, some three weeks ago, requesting him to come on to New York, as he wished to see him be- fore sailing. He received no answer, and after a fow days is letter was returned, unopened, from the Post Office at Bridgeport. Becoming alarmed, he proceeded to the latter city, and, on arriving at the boarding house of the deceased, learned that nis brother had left for New York about a week pre- viously. Inquiries regarding the missing man were ‘at once set on foot in Bridgeport and vicinity, but no clue could be found as to his whereabouts, Baxter States that it 1s generally believed the deceased was Taurderca while on board the steamer Bridgeport, and that the boay was thrown overboard into the Sound at a point east of Hart's Island, from whence it drifted with the east wind to the spot on the western shore where it was found. his theory, he States, is fare yee by the fact that two Hell Gate gee named Charles E, Adams and Alexander ata, both living on City Island, stave that while boarding the Bridgeport about daybreak of the morning supposed to succeed the night on which deceased left Bridgeport for New York, ue, saw a quantity of blood on the deck avaft the cabin and near the stern of the steamer. ‘Thus, if true, would have formed a most important evidence before the jury of inquest, Another strange feature of this mystertous case is observable in the circumstance that after the re- mains had been exhumed and tdentfied, John Richards, who claims to be a brother of the de- ceased, requested the poormaster to reinter the 48 he was about sailing for Europe, where he would be absent two months, at the expiration of which time he wouid have the body removed and properly tnterred. As a consequence the corpse was again committed tothe earth. It appears that de- ceased was a German, about twenty-six years old, and had been empioyed as foreman in & machine shop at Bridgeport, Conn. Hts brother, while at City Island, stated that he frequentiy carried con- siderable money with him, and that he was rather parilal to drinking lager beer. CLASS DAY AT COLUMBIA COLLEGE, The Exercises, Music, Dancing a: Eating. The gutters and sewers drank vast quantities of water from the skies yesterday afternoon and even- ing, but this caprice of Mother Earth in satistying her thirat by copious draughts did not prevent the gathering of a very stylish, intellectual and pleasant throng at Columbia College to drink at the fountains of collegiate lore. The young ladies cared little for the rain, but much for the eh, whom they accompanied upon the promenade, The graduates were exceedingly happy. They chatted, told re- panies of their grenttn 94) Split jokes in Latin and Greek, and warblec old story with eloquent pleas. You could note the pale-faced studious youth, in whose brain was lit the lamp of application; the features of another who evidently 8 number one in classic deviltry, and the bear- i third denoting contempt for the integral calculus and disgust for philosophy and tigures.

Piate was placed by Grand Marshal George Peabody; a fine oration recelved much applause as it was eloquently pronouncea by T. 0. Ecclesine, and the Class Poem was recited by John Cooper. Smoking the class pipe, overtures, galops, waltzes and dancing, accompanied by music under the direc- tion of Theodore Thomas, ended the entertainments of the day and evening. A fine supper was spread in the College building, where many were devoted guests. The parting song, rendered in concert, closed with these words:— Grasp each hand, O Classmates true, For we needs must break the spell, Brothers of the White and Blue. ‘Alma Mater--fare ye well. The class standing of the graduates has not yet been determined, GLADIATORIAL MIMICRY, Sparring Match Between Mace and Allen A Big Night at Brady’s Currtculam, The lovers of the manly arts and exercises in Jeisey City enjoyed a good time last evening at Pro- fessor Brady’s Curriculum. The principal feature o1 the evening was a sparring match be- tween Jem Mace and Tom Alien, who is soon to contest with McCoole for the championship of America. The crowd at the Curriculum was unusually large, fand the inter- est felt in the friendly meeting of these two late con- testants for the championship of the world was dis- Played in a demonstrative manner when they en- tered the arena. The entire gathering rose to their feet and made a simultaneous rush from all sides, and would not have left the contestants epeing space were it not that they were kept bac! 80 determinedly. The uproar which followed the appearance of Mace and Allen having been quelled, Mr. Abrahams introduced the famous pugilists to the assemblage, and dis- played the belt which each of them was presented with by their friends in honor of victories won. Having shook hands, each set himseif in scientific atiitude, and a@ regular set-to followed, Mace did not seem over auxious to “shine,” but rather ap- peared as if he wished to let Allen have some little satisfaction for his recent defea. Allen struck the first blow, hitting Mace on the chin @ rather severe BP Mace took it in good humor, but evidently resolved mental, not to allow his opponent to get such an unguar cd low at nim again, They now closed in and the ows became fast and furious. The first round was closed in five minutes by Mace ae blow from Allen and turning away. After about three minutes’ breathing time they met again, and soon Allen jum) back on receiving a tremendous bruiser on the jaw. He atonce came up again, and then fol- the best sclentific sparring which was made, Allen getting the worst of it. The third round ended in a close encounter, each turnin; away badly out of breath. The third and last roun: ‘was @shortone. Mace was only re ceges to show some of his old “science,” while Alien was plainly becoming fagged. Mace turned away after giving Allen A crasher on the nose, which sounded through the rink. A variety of other sports—velocipedism, pedestri- anism and trapeze performances—were introduced, and the evening passed pleasantly. EUROPEAN MARKETS. lowed Loxnox Money ManKer.—Lonnon, June 10-5 P.

Particulars of the Sad Event—Remarks of the London Press—Sketeh of His Life and Works, London, Juve 9—~10 P. M The London Globe, tn its last edition this evening, startled the community with the announcement that Charles Dickens had been seized with paralysis and was lying insensibie at his residence at Gad's Lill, near Rochester, in Kent. The news spread rapidly and created the most profound regret. But the worst was still to Gome. ‘Telegrams have since been received announcing the death of the great novelist at a quarter past six o’clock this evening, Mr. Dickens was at dinner on Wednesday when he was seized with @ fit. Dr. Steele, of the village of Strood, who was for many years the family physician of Mr. Dickens, was immediately called im and re- mained tlil nearly midnight. ‘The condition of the patient becoming worse and Worse, It was deemed advisabie to summon phyai- cians from London, Telegrams were promptly de- spatched, and this morning several Lonaon physi- Clans arrived at Gadshill, A consultation was held, and the case was at once pronounced hope- less. The patient sank gradually and died at fifteen minutes past six this evening. Mr. Dickens had been ill for several days, but not seriously. He had even visited Rochester aud other points during the present week, Dickens’ Memory—Queen Victorin’s Message of Condolence—Puvlic Business Suspended in Loudon, LONDON, June 10, 1870. ‘The news of the death of Charles Dickens, which ‘was published in the city this morning, produced a feeling of deep, intense regret in the public mind. Queen Victoria, immediately after the intelligence of Mr. Dickens’ death was communicated at court, despatched a special message of condolence to the sorrowing members of the family of the deceased author. The public tustitutions in the city suspended business immediately after hearing of the melan- choly event. Remarks of the London Press ou tho Melaus choly Event. Lonpon, June 10, 1870, The death of Mr. Dickens has plunged the nation into mourning. All the London papers have obit- uary articles this morning. . ‘The Times says:—The ordinary expressiona of re- gret are now cold and conventional. Miliions of People feel the personal bereavement. Statesmen, Savans and benefactors of the race when they die can leave no such votd. They cannot, like this great novelist, be an inmate of every house. The Daily News says:—“Without intellectual pedi- gree his writings form an era in English literature, He was generous, loving and universally beloved. He leaves, like Thackeray, an unfinished story.” The Morning Post says:—‘Charles Dickens did more than any contemporary to make Engitsh hite- rature loved and admired.” The Telegraph regarus the distinguished dead as a public servant, whose task is nobly fulfilled, SKETCH OF CHARLES DICKENS. Charles Dickens was born in the month of Feb- ruary in the year 1812, at a place called Landport, one of the large suburbs of Portsmouth, where his father, Mr. John Dickens, held a position in the Navy Pay Department, the duties of which required fre- quent changes of residence. Thus it was that the infant years of the future novelist were spent at Plymouth, Sheerness, Chatham and other seaport towns. This was at the time of the war with France; but after the exile of Napoleon to St. Helena the father retired on a pension and went to London, where hé obtained employment as parliamentary re- porter for the daily papers. In the British metropo- lis Charles received a moderately fair education. We doubt if he learned the classics, an1 it is certain that be never studied at any college. ENTRANCE INTO JOURNALISM. It was the desire of his father that the late novelist should follow the legal profession, and when he had reached the proper age he was placed a3 clerk in an attorney’s office. For abrief period he remained there; but the law was not congenial to a lad of Dickens’ ideas, and he soon abandoned its study, by permission of his father, and engaged In the occupa- uon of a newspaper reporter. His first engaget it was on the True Sun, a liberal journal tnen strug- gling for existence. His connection with this paper, however, was brief and not very profitable. Dickens next attached himself to the Morning Chronicle, and it was while asso ciated with this paper that he first earned reputation for ability and originality. He at- tracted the attention of the editor, who requested him to contribute articles other than those in the regular performance of his reportorial duties, Dick- ens complied with this request, and published tn the Morning Chronicle a series of papers, under the title of “Sketches of English Life and Character,” which became quite popular. These he subsequently re- vised and collected into the two well known volumes of “Sketches by Boz.’ The success of these works created much curiosity as to who the writer was, and @ strong desire was expressed that he might cast aside his fictitious title and reveal himself in propria persona. About this time the following witty epigram appeared in the Carthustan in rela- tion to the public excitement:— Who the Dickens “Boz” could be Puzzled many a learned elf; But time unvefied the mystery, And “Boz” appeared as Dickens’ self. The adoption of the nom de plume of ‘*Boz" also athacted some degree 01 attention, and in answer to the inquiry of a friend on the subject Mr. Dickens ave the following as his reason for its adoption:— .e hada younger brother who resembled so much the Moses in the ‘Vicar of Wakefield” that he used to cali him Moses; but a little girl, who could not at the time speak plainly, was in the habit of culling Moses “Boz.!? This simple circumstance induced the author vo assume the title appended to his matden effort, aud under this name he was introduced to the public, These works were produced in 1837, and almost simultaneously with their introduction the couc opera of “The Village Coquettes” appeared from the same fruitful pen. In these the genius of the author began to exhibit itself, The easy grace of the composition and the versatility displayed gave evidence of an intellect of unusual power. CAREER AS AN AUTHOR. The “Posthumous Memoirs of the Pickwick Club” was the next attempt at aythorsttip. This work was the suggestion of Mr. Hall,a member of the pub- lishing house of Hall & Chapman, which establish- ment engaged Mr. Dickens to write the story. The manner in which it was written, the flow of natu. ral humor it contained and the whole treatment of the subject brought fame to the rising young writer and fortune to his publishers, From this time Dickens began to rise rapidly. He Was fast advancing to an enviable position in the literary world, His style was original and distinct from the writers of those days, It was pecuilarly his own—natural, easy, simple. Many excellent offers frum publishers, arising from his successes, were made to him. “Nicholas Nickleby” was the next production, and in this ‘work he depicted the atrocious cruelties then, and it is feared even at the present day, prac- ised upon the helpless children and neglected orphans of the middie classes of England in the cheap schools scattered throughout that land, This work Was written from personal observation and from information received from those living in neighborhoods where these schools were allowed to exist. In Bentley's Magazine, of which Dickens was the first editor, the story of ‘Oliver Twisv? appeared, and iv its chapters the dark sides and secrets of low life were treated in aromance. The gloomy haunts of the dismal, wicked dens with which London is infested were thrown open to pub- lic view. ‘This work did not attain a very great de- gree of popularity. Soon after the appearance of “Master Humphrey’s Clock,” which was the general tile for a collection of tales, jolued by a connecting narrative, apd by the publication of which Mr. Dickens sought to carry out a long cherished plan of supplying good literature to the people at a cheap ores. he paid a visit to this country. On his return to bart in 1842 he published his “American Notes for General Circuiation.” Had Charles Dickens never penned this work neither his own nor the American people would have been losers.

Immediately ater he published “Martin Chuzzie- wit,” and in 1844 he paid a visit to Italy. Inthe following gat ‘on his return to England, he engaged in the publication of a cheap dally newspaper (the Daily News), He surrounded himself with a corps of popular writers, and labored energetically to niske the paper a success, but failed in the attempt. Witharawin from the editorial chair of the Datly News, he turned to purely literary pursuits, and recommenced the publication of humorous serials. At intervals he produced tales of au Imaginative character. “Christmal Carol” was the fi ‘This Was published in 143. “The Chimes,” “The Oricket on the Hearth,” “The Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain,” and ‘The Battle of Life” fohowed. “Dombey aud Son’ appeared in 1848, and the year after he produced “David Copperfield,” Que Ol Gay best, U Gut tue very best, storles that Iek- ens has ever written. In 1856 “Bleak House” made its appearance, followed the subsequent year by “Lite Dorris,” “Phe Uncommercial Traveller" and “A Tale of Two Cities.” “Great Expectations” was his next production of any importance, and one of his most touching, In 1860 Dickens started House. hold Words, & cheap literary miscellany, bul owing to some dispute between him and his publishers while the magazide was most successful he severed bis connection with it, and a short time aller com- menced @ new periodical under the name of All the Year Round, which journal he continued to edit up to the time of bus decease, In he pub lished in 1864 “Our Mutual Friend,'! “T Taunted House,” “Mugby Junction,” “Dr. Marigold's Pre- scriptions,’ “Mrs, Lerriper’s Lodgings,"’ “Mrs. Ler- ns yt Legacy,” and other stories, 1D the early fall of 1867 Charlies Dickens paid an- other visit (o this country, With the characterise generosity of a great poople he was warmly we- comed and a hearty greeting was accorded to him, and this by tbe descendanta of those whom he #o cruelly sauirized when he thought ue had vidden adieu to America forever, During this visit be gave public readings in various parts of Cie country, everywhere before crowded houses and enthusiastic andiences, Atadinner given him by members of the press just prior to his departure for Boland he Virtually apologized for all the bad things he had said about America, and declared that he would print the speech he then delivered with all Lue futuse editions of his works, DOMESTIC AFFAIRS, Mr, Dickens’ domestic life was marked by matri- monial infelicities, In 1833 he married a dauglter of George Hogarth, the composer. For some years the couple lived happily together, ana hat several children, But subsequently Dickens became dis- contented with the domestic qualities of lis wie, and quarrels became frequent, finally resulting in their separation. Of this domestic trouble we shall say tittle, The novelist ever held himself justitied in acting as hedid, 1t is true that he somewhat hastily made public his side of the story, and ap. surdly sevel his connection with Punch because Mark Lemon lo publish his statement in that aper. Nevertheless there seems but little doubt hat bie Dickens was pot A woman calculated to sender appy 4 than of the disposition and cuaragter of the it . late nove! CONCLUSION. But a few weeks ago Dickens bade adieu to the public aga reader. For years his readings had en- joyed considerable popularity im Englan!t, and the announcement of his retirement from behind the footlights was received with general regret. In his speech delivered at the close of his last reading he id that henceforth he would deal with the public solely through hia writings. About this time he began the publication of a new novel, “ ‘The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” which he leaves unflulshed, and which promised to be one of the best of his works. He has passed away from car.h to the re- gret of all lovers of English literature. Few writers of fiction have ever touched the popular heart so deeply. A satirist of the highest order, his satire was seldom mingled with bitterness, A humorist, there 1s not one word in his humor which can shock or repel the most sensitive reader, and we can laugh over the oddities, comlcalities and eceentricities of Sam Weiler and his father, Micawber, Barkis, Dick Swiveller, Silas Wegz and the rest, without being pained by the vulgarity which is so often associated with wit. Full of pathos and tenderness, Dickens could paint the joys and sorrows of humanity with a master hand. ' A pano- rama of his creation passes before us at this moment, and the figures of Little Nell, of the Child Wite, of Agnes, Estrella and others, surrounded by all the dcamatic scenery in which the artist depicted them, stand out tn all the charms of immortality. For these creations wilt never die but with the language. They will be read and laughed and wept over with as Much zest and emotion in the indisceruib.e future even as they are at this moment, And what of the genius and fame of Dickens’ If 1 ve true, asa philosopher, whose name we have forgotten, once said, that that man was alone great who had made his fellow man,happy, then the genius and fame of Dickens rest on @ surer foundation th@p any prince can give him, JEROME PARK RACKS.

More Outrages on the Morris and Essex Line=The Ontraged Passengers Declare War to the Bitter End—The Indiguation Meeting at Montclair. The obnoxious regulations of the Morris and Essex division of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Raliroad are still carried out in a manner that has fairly aroused the latent indignation of the patrons of the road and induced them to organize in bodies and declare war to the bitter end until some change for the better 13 effected. Yesterday another series of outrageous ejectments are reported. Prominent among these 1s the case of Mr. R. C, Browning, a highly respected mer- chant of this city, whose residence {s at Urange. Mr. Browning, it appears, is a commuter, and de- sired yesterday to lay over at Newark 80 asto pay his local taxes. When near Roseviile he refused to have hig ticket punchea or to pay fare. As a conse- quence the train was stopped and the gentleman was put off forcibly hid the conductor and fireman, The jatter went rolling in the mud with Mr. Browning. The utmost indiguation was manifested by the other passengers at the treatment their con- Jrere had received, and were only prevented from interferin, by his earnest solicitations. “He has ex- pressed his devermination to drag the matter before the courts at the earliest possible day. He is a man ot means, and has the reputation of mean- ing every word he says. It is also stated that Mr. Fairbanks, of scale celebrity, was treated similarly yesterday, as well as others, Suits have already been commenced bay the company to recover damages, by Mr. W. A. Torrey and one or two other gentlemen under Itke circumstances. In addition, commuters, clubs are betng organized at various points along the line with a view to a grand legai battle, if necessary, to an adjustment of the grievances. The meeting called to assemble last evening at Watchung Hall, in the village of Montclair, was, as might naturally be expected, from the shocking state of the weather, especially in the country, sien- derly attended. Indeed, tt was mater of wonder to the keeper of the hail that even a H&eaLD reporter had the courage to go abroad on such a night. About Le es eight o'clock the meeting was formally calied to order by W. A. Torr chairman of the Commuters’ Executive Committeee, and Mr. Albert Pearce voted into the chair, while Mr. J. B. Kearney was chosen Secretary. Mr. Edward Moran at once took the door and suggested that owing to the paucity of numbers present and the ing Beoba e matters which it was proposed to bring forward and discuss, 1t woud be best to ad- journ the meeting till to-night at the same time and place. The motion was carried and the meeting accordingly adjourned, Measures were then taken to secure a large attendance to-night, MORE FAEELOVEISM IN NEWARK, In the Newark Police Court yesterday another atrocious case of alleged freelovelsm, blended with an exhaustive supply of rum, was developed in the case of a man named George W.

Yesterday morning the First brigade, Firat division Nattonal Guard, under command of Gen- eral Ward, proceeded to Prospect Park Parade und for review. The weather was of the most disagreeable description, as the heavy rain, carried at an unpleasant angle by the high wind, drenched the troops at Intervals, while the mud and sloppy streets and roads made the marching exceedingly diMcult. ‘The brigade comprises the First regiment, Hawkins’ Zouaves; the Tweillth, Twenty-second, Sixty-ninth, Seventy-firat and Sev- enty-ninth regiments, and turned ont about fifteen hundred strong. They were reviewed at Proapect Park by Major General Shaler, commanding the di- vision, and staff, They went through @ series of dificult manceuvres ta a bighly satisfactory man- ner, considering the disadvantages under which they paraded, ineiuding loadings and firings with blank cartridge. ‘Iwenty-flve rounds were fired. Too much praise cannot be awarded to the brigade for the bury d and prompt obedience evinced by them tn parading during such unpleasant weather, but the necessity of subjecting them to such discomfort is certainly to be regretted, and it does seem that the parade might reasonably have been aid pln But the First brigade ts composed of splendid material and tne regiments composing ityhave stood worse storms than rain storms.
