The proceedings Of the House OF Representatives
OF Tuesday last deeply interesting. The dsso-
tuition of the Union has been prayed for by petition
and the aged Elk President ADAMS, who presented
the Objectionable documen', is on his defence for
the deed The House was governed by more
solemn spirit than usually prevails in that body, and
there appeared TO be forebodings of a crisis which
every lover of his country must deprecate. Mr.
Adams takes the ground that the oppressors of the
people Of the'north by the rejection of their petit
lions are OF the of some of those under which
our Revolutionary fathers suffered, and that the
Declaration Of the Nations Independence, which
justified the change of rules and the destruction of
the government, then would equally Justify an alter
alton now. " The beginning Of the end draweth
nigh"
hcKrSs,ANA.-Boston and all New England has
caught the Dickens fever. Fanny Elssler, Lord Nor
peth, Elder Knapp, and DR.. Lardner, are gone
for ever Tne danseuse or the lord can't hold can

From the Boston Post, Jan. 25th
The calls upon hun (Charles Nckens,) have been
very numerous from the hour OF his arrival at the
fremont House, up 10 this time, and probably will
continue to increase during the two weeks he will
remain here. Delegations from Hartford, CT, and
other places, are already here for the purpose of
rendering TO hun invitations TO dinners, and other
courtesles
From the Boston Transcript, Jan. 2sth
We understand that Mr.. Dickens has accepted the
invitation of the young gentlemen of Boston to a
dinner, which is to be given him on Tuesday next, at
Papantl's Hall, fremont Row. In consequence OF
the announcement that he would attend the Ire
mont i heatre last evening" the building was crowded
from pr to gallery, and when he entered the private
box which was reserved for him, accompanied by
his lady and Earl Mugrave, the whole audience rose
en- massc, and gave him three cheers, which he &C
knowledged by bowling to the assembled multitude
We trust he will have no reason TO complain OF want
of attention paid 10 him during his visit to this eoun
try, and that he will find his splendid talents are duly
appreciated. =,

To CHARLES DICKENS, ESQ
Welcome. loved stranger, from a distant strand
Welcome, thrice welcome to our happy land
Fair son of Genius Ruler Of the mind
Greater than thee thou leavest not behind.
Mover of Hearts each breast in some blest hour.
Has owned thy genius and has felt thy power
How happy, we, to welcome thee, extend
Our eager greetings to our guest and friend.
Thou-chronicler of poverty's dark maze
Hast oped new world to our wondering gaze.
To others leav st the wealthy, proud and great,
To picture forth the lowly wanderers fate.
To common writers leav'st the common strain
To fill thy place they would aspire in vain.
