MORE OF Dickens HOUSEHOLD TRoUBLEs.-A New
York correspondent of the Boston Atlas and Bee sayss:
:" The scandalous reports about Dickens and his
family have excited much attention here; but the
manly card of Mr.. Dickens, published in Household
Words, relieves him from the impufation of infdelity.
L was yesterday conversing with a gentleman well
acquainted with the Dickens family, and he attributes
the difference between the novelist and wife to diverse
views they take in regard to the religious education
OF their daughters. Mr.. Dickens is a decided latitu-
dinarian in his views. and generally attends the Uni
,arian Church; while Mrs. Dickens, an Edinburgh
lady, brought up in the stricter doctrines Of Presby-
terianism, still clings to the religious ideas iuculcated
In her youth, and naturally wishes her daughters
brought up IN the same way. The fact of the dauoh-
tiers siding with the father merely shows that. ike
most young people, they approve Of those doctrines
that offer more freedom, and are generally more ar
tracriye. in appearance at least"
1t IS limited that the character Of Mrs. CIenam. in
Little Dorya, may have been intended to renrove
some Of the ansferities which have annoyed the no
yelisf in his wife

NEw YORK. July 20, 1857.
AR The Panama Rail-Iioad Company takes this metho,
~4rze o6informing those interested in the Whaling bust
a-ross the Isthmus Of Panama, for the shipment o
Oil from the Pacific tn the United States, and for sending out
fits and supplies from the United States TO Panama.
The Railroad has been in regular and successful operation for
more than two years, and its capacity for the transportation OF
every description of merchandise, including oil, Provisions. &c.
mas been fuly tested The attention Of several Captains OF
whaleshi,s has recently been turned to the subject Of shipping
their oil from Panama to New York during the present season,
and the Panama Railroad Company has made arrangement
plishment Of this important object. A Pier. $50 feet long, has
been built in the hay Of Panama, To the end Of which Freight
Cars are run to receive cargoes from lighters or vessels lying
alongside. and deliver the same alongside OF vessels ut Aspin-
wall. Vessels Of from 200 To 500 tons can lie at the Pier with
safety, grounding in the mud at low water.
The vessels to and from Aspinwall arr fast-sniing briggs, be
pared TO receive oil at Panama and deliver il in New York,
under through Bills Of l.adins at the rate of seven
cents per gallon, II received at the Pier. and eight cei Is per gal
lon n received in the harbor from ships tackles, charging for
the capacity Of the casks, without allowing for vantage. For
whalebone. one and one-haf cents per pound. This charge
covers every expense from Panama TO New York, in case
the oil Is sent through the Superintendent or Commercial Agent
OF the Panama Rail- Road Company, insurance excepted. The
freights may be mad kyable on the Isthmus or in Now York
AT the option Of the shipper.
The vessels Of the Company sail regularly semi-monthly. and
the average passages to and from Aspinwali are about twenty to
twenty-five days. The time occupied in crossing the Ishmus is
four hours. OIL, during its transit across the Isfhmus,w will be
covered with canvas, or conveyed in covered cars. and owners
he assured that every care win be taken to prevent leakage.
Several cargoes have already been conveyed to New York with
our the slightest loss.
OH or other goods consigned for transportation TO the Super-

put upon testimony, q Judicial decision can claim
little more respect than the drawing Of a lottery.
I know not what new legal enactments can reach
this evil. 1t is very alarming one, and it indicates a
grievous deficiency in the moral and religious educa-
ton Of the peoples
The other evil refsrred to is the miserable state Z
our prison system. Men and women are convicted of
crime. sent to jail, kept there, il may be, for a while
In idleness, because there is no remunerative labor
within the prison walls, then hired out by the day,
or for the term of their sentence, oftentimes by their
friends or relatives, and they live in just as much
comfort. with all their wants and tastes supplied as
fully as the most virtuous of their neighbors. Where
are the terrors of q law which has no final sanction ?
In these remarks no blame is intended to be
thrown upon those who have charge ofour prisons they
cannot make tricks without straw. The simple,
notorious fact only is referred to, that upon no island
IN the kingdom, unless it be Oahu, is there any eff
Gent prison system"

justice il should be recorded have become offenders
not as hardened williams, but under the influence Of
strong drink.
The number of persons a~rraigned before all the
Justices, as appears by their reports, amount to
3,238; of whom 1892 were convicted and $40
dismissed. One Of the Justices neglects to state the
number Of persons a~rraigned and subsequently, dis
missed by him. but as only 81 were convicted, it is
presumed the number dismissed were but few.
The offeLses for which they were a~rraigned IS stated
in the annexed schedules"
In his report for 1857 he says:
The number of persons a~rraigned beDte all the
justices, as appears by their reports, amount to 3.O61;
of whom 2,791 were convicted. For what ofenses
they were arrested appears also in the several sche-
dulles.
In the Courts Of Record of the island 81 persons
have been convicted on trial. Is discharged after a
verdict in their favor of :" Not Guilty. and 10 dis
missed upon the motion of the District Attorney for
want of evidence to be obtained to secure a conviction,
or public policy did not demand their trial. with the
consent of the Court.

kauai AND NnHsU-Tbe report of W. n. Rec.
ESQ.,, District Attorney for the Fourth JUDICIAL Dis
trict, is in some respects gratifying He says in his
report for 1856
"The number Of cases in all the courts is consider
ably less for 1856 than for 1855, which leads me 10
believe that there is a decided diminution Of crime
in this district From my own observation and from
conversation with men of intelligence and experience.
l believe that industry is becoming more general
among our native population. which of itself has a
strong tendency TO diminish crime"
And in his report for 1857 he says:
Il beg here TO add the testimony of our much res
pected local Circuit Judge. that the convictions for
perjury nc the last Circuit Court are producing a
Wholesome effect in REFRESHING this serious crime.'
be also adds 1T isA pleasure for me 70 state
siso, as the result Of my observation, that in the main.
the duties of our District Justices are promptly and
efficiently reformed.

Total applica.ions

The number Of divorces exhibits a lamentable defect
IN domestic fidelity | trust thai the wisdom of the
legislature will he able 70 devise some improvements
in domestic education especially applicable to females,
which will remedy this great evil.
The civil causes in the various Courts of Record
have rs formerly required great attention. Some of
them have inyot ed large amounts of property, and
OF course we're very important to the parties. The
business is 20 connected with foreigners, and increas-
ing III trade and commerce, that an increase of cases
OF a very important and interesting character is in
e table.
The jurisdiction of the court is extended by courte-
sy to foreigners, when it is important to the parties
that the matter of difference should be settled at once.
