CHARLES DICKENS.
THE coMp1rxrNTABY DINNER AND THE FAREWELL
ADDRESS.

The dinner given to Charles Dickens, in London,
on the occasion Of his departure for the Unitea
States was great historical event. 1t was

The poor artist, the poor actor, from their respec-

side with the Chief Justice of England, the Peer
of the realm. The humble citizens OF the Re-
public OF rightly 80 named since we have
not Sovereign among us, as one Of them once
sa;d-were sandwiched between paunchy bankers
and merchants who had never forgotten the denn-
estor of the "Cheeryble Brothers"-these we're for
once on an equality. When this exceedingly mis-
celaneous assembly" las aristocrstis said to nave

reception room, the one question was, who's Who!
Bnt soon there vas o goodly company OF hve

guests of the occasion. At length the doors were
thrown open, and the wel-known faces OF Bulwer
and Dickens appeared at it. They we're arm-in'

whose walls all around were written in great gold

Things IN WASHINGTON.

We take the following dispatches from the Balt-
more Gazette
"oLD THAD" AND IMPEACHMENT.
Thaddeus Stevens has prepared the following
bill to be introduced in Congress
Be IL enacted, That whenever the President or
Vice. President Of the United States shall have art-
cles accusing him of high crimes and misdemean-
ors duly preferred against him. and the court con-
stitutlonaly provided therefor shall have ordered
his trial and fixed the day for it to commence, he
shall be considered as lying under disability to
discharge the powers and duties Of his office, and
said disability shall remain until the termination
of said trial.
TIE EXTRA SESSION.
There is disposition manifested by leading
conservative Republicans to do away with the
nine days session by adjournin, over from Thurs.
day to Monday, from Monday to Wednesday, and
from Wednesday until after Thanksgiving. The
ground taken is that no practical legislation can
be effected in this short session, and that nothing
can be gained by sitting. Those favoring i'm
peachment will, it is understood, oppose adjourn
ing over.
SOUTHERN RADICAL CONVENTION PROPOSED.
1t is proposed, we learn, by Southern Republi-
cans now here, friendly to Chief Justice Chase, to
hold q Southern Radical Convention here, on the
22d of February, to bring forward the name Of Mr..
Chase as the candidate Of the Convention for the
Presidency. =.
WEDDING IN HIGH LIFE.
1t is said that cards are out for wedding in
high-life. Baron Henri Van Havre, Of the Belgian
Legation, leads to the altar one of our city bellies.
THE PURCHASE oE THE DANISH WEST INDIES.
The amount mentioned in the treaty wisn Den
mark for the cession of the Drnish West India
Islands to the United States is ascertained to be
$780, 600 in gold. The stories which come from
Europe about the leins of thu French upon these
islands are without foundation. There is no doubt
that Rev. Mr.. Hawley, Of Auburn, N. Y, has gone
to 81. Thomas on business connected with that
subject, the cession being dependent on the con-
sent Of majority Of the people Of the islands. 1t
appears from official statistics that or another
OF the West India Islands suffers from hurricane
almost every year. Danish statistics show that
since 1719 st. Thomas has been visited by seven
similar caamites at intervals varying from sixteen
to thirty years.

BRAVE LADY.-A Paris paper publishes the
following anecdote relative to Mrs, Stone, an
American lady known at Rome: 'This admirable
woman, having learned that six Zouaves, wounded
in the affair of Monte-Libietti, in the hands
of the Garbaldians, at once left Rome alone, and
went to the enemys camp. The town mad been
evacuated by the revolutionary bands. Mrs.
Stone presented herself and asked for Menotu
Garibaldi. He was ct table and refused to be dis
turbed. She insisted on seeing him, and he came
out. his hat on his head, and looking angry: What
can I do for you Madame? he said. sir, said
Mrs. Stone, 4 have travelled all over Europe, l
have lived in all kinds Of polite societies, and
never saw man address a woman with his hat on.
That custom is probably new one and forms
part of the manners which you bring us.
Menott uncovered, and afterward showed the
greatest readiness in complying with Mrs. stones
wishes. She visited the wounded, attended to
them, went to her own lodging to seek linen and
medicine, and returned with Nine. Banzler, the
wife OF the Minister of Arms, to organize ambu-
lances. 1t is the same General Kanzler who had
sent to the Roman Legion, when directed on Ne
rola, an order in the following terms "Two COM
panies OF the Legion will leave, will beat the i'll
surgents, and then return to Rome." And re are
still called on at college to admire the savings Of
Epaminondas.
