In the literary world very little is stirring,
except the gossip on the domestic affairs of
Charles Dickens. Probably his explanatory
letter published month ago, and full of mys-
terious allusions, has excited as much curios-
lty in America as here. The facts dimly al
luded to are these: About twenty-five years
ago, Mr.. Dickens, then a clerk, married a
very pretty and amiable young girl, (whose
parents opposed the match as far beneath herr
and took her home to obscure lodgings in
Furnival's Inn. For some years they lived
very happily together; but Mr.. Dickens hav.
ing become great men, ,hatered and courted,
finds that his domestic felicity is not as great
as could be desired. Two or three Yeas ago,
he gave dinner to his literary friends on the
anniversary of his wedding day. and in pro-
posing his wife's health, stated that he had
never seen shade OF i'll temper over her in
his life, Ibis equability Of disposition does
not satisfy him. She is not Intellectual. He
reads his works to her, and she, absorbed III
needle work, inquiries abstractedly what he
means by some Of his most brilliant passages.
In short, she is not companion to him, SO
the brilliant novelist and actor separates on
the ground Of +" incompatibility' from her
whom he vowed befre God to love and to
cherish, and from henceforth their lives have
separate ends. The eldest child. a youth Of
twenty-one, has chosen to follow the fortunes
of his mother, while the daughters remain
with their father. To make the affair still
more notorious. young lady, Mrs. Dickens.
sister, has undertaken to keep house. fol
Mr.. Dickens and his daughters. The whole
affair is very repugnant to our ideas of matri-
monial constaney. and has not enlarged the
circle of Mr.. Diekens's admirers. London

7ne Cable Heard From

Cant ! S. Cummings, of the ship Alice Mon

,ollowipr dispatch, by which'it will be seen that
the .elegraphic squadron coumsneed laying the
cable about June 26, but that it parted on Sun
day morning, June 9th, when only about
forty miles Of it had been submerged. The
Niagara had returned to the starting point
in mid ocean, and was there awaiting the return
of Agamemnon, to reunite the cable again, and
recommence the laying, aRd great confidence
was entertained by Mr.. Field, of the final success
Of the enterprise. The weather had thus far
been very nnIsvorable:

not think the squadron met before the 2Sth.

and unsettled. Mr.. Field seemed in good spir'

AN UNFoRTUNATR ILLUSTRATION. - Senator

unfortunate illustration to show how he was GO.
ing to deal with his foes Of the Republican party

eused of being in alliance to defeat him. He
said al shall deal with this allied army just as
the Russians dealt with the allies at Sebastopol
that is, the Russians did not stop to inquire,
when they fred .broadside, whether it hit
Frenchman, an Engllshman, or Turk. Nor
will stop to inquire, nor shall hesitate, wheth-
er my blows shall hit these Republican leaders
or their allies who are holding the federal offices
and yet acting in concert with them"
The Russians at Sebastopol got sOhspped, and
Mr.. Lincoln, the opposition candidate, called the
ttention Of Senator Douglas to that fact, This
charge that 1he Republicans Of Illinois are in
league with the miserable Buchanan Office holders
is made by Senator Douglas just for effect. 1t is,

PLENTIFUL CRors.-The season has been
an unusually favorable one. thus far, for the
crops of all kinds. The prospect for plen-
ufui harvest was never better. Fruit trees Of
all kiads are literally loaded with fruit Tne
apple tree is well set through this State. The
recent frequent rains cannot but swell the
burthen of the grass crops in the interior IN
localities where grass does not mature as early
as it does nearer the sea coast. With all these
Hattering prospects of an abundant harvest,
we hear complaints from country people as
usual. that hay and other articles of produce
will be scarce. We presume such would
have it SO, for their own individual gain.
