The visit OF Charles Dickens.

1t is now officially announced that Dickens
will leave England for this country either on
the 26th of this month or the I'd of November,
and will begin his readings here during the
first week in December We are told that we
can form no intimate acquaintance with Mr..
Pickwick, Sam Weller, Sergeant Buzzfuzz,
Little Nell, Dick Swiveller and Bob Sykes
until we have heard their oral impersonation
by Mr.. Dickens. It appears that We are to
have a formal but agreeable introduction to
these celebrities, as also to Sairey Camp and
Betsey Prig, by the gentleman who is best &C
quainted with them.
We have no doubt that Dickens will make q
success on his second visit to America He
comes now to amuse, not to caricature us, and
though his contemplated tour may be less of
an ovation than his former one, It will turn out
more profitable to himself than his " American
Notes." with their very large general circu-
lation." He may find material enough for an
other book in the curious characters he will
meet among the radical politicians. The char
ter election, too, will be on the tapis, most op-
portunely. on his arrival, and what magnin-
cent study Of human nature there will be In

dates for the various Offices who will then

Valuable Certificates Of Character.

Mr.. Romero, some Tina Minister Of the
Mexican republic near our government, is
about to return to his country. He has re-
ceiyed on the occasion some valuable testi-
monials to his good behavior and excellent
conduct while here remarkable documents !;
nothing less, in fact, than certificates OF charac-
ter, and this from men like Thad Stevens,
Henry Wilson, Roscoe Conkling, William II.
Seward, Robert Dale Owen, Schuyler Colfax,
John A. Andrew and two hundred Others We
do not know what may be thought of these
documents in Mexico, but there is every pro-
liability that they will prove perilous stuff for
the Minister 10 take home. Our readers have
heard the savage bitterness with which some
Mexican leaders have expressed themselves
against this country and its people, and espe-
cially against American interference in their
domestic concerns Have We not even heard II
If Mr.. Seward had not spoken in his favor
And now Mr.. Seward speaks in Romero's
favor. Alas, for Romero Thus the question
naturally arises whether all these recommen-
dations will not put the amiable Minister in
unnecessary peril, since these laudations Of
his character will certainly be regarded as an
attempt to affect Mexican politics-perhaps
even the Mexican Presidential election. We
are in hope, however, that Mexico may take .
more kindly view Of the case, and consider all
these notes as only quiet attempts to appease
her wrath and get on the right side OF her by
fattering the national vanity.

City Markets.

The city market property has been the
latest subject Of one of those lengthy commu-
nications which the Citizens Association Pc
riodcally address to city and State officials.
This time the person addressed is Comptroller
Connolly. There is little in the letter beyond
a repetition and endorsement Of the Comp
troller's expressed views on the subject They
applaud the course of radical reform initiated
by him in this important branch of the city
kets at their estimated vaue-fve million dol
lars. The Association bring forward estimates
and figures to show the gross mismanagement
of this department, and are after dishonest and
corrupt officials, as usual, with sharp stick.
The figures prove that not one-half of the
proper amount OF revenue from this source has
found its way into the City Treasury, and that
the majority of consumers are at the mercy oil
up town retailers, in consequence of the mis-
management and bad location Of the mar
kets. That the market income has been here
tofore squandered upon Corporation thieves
and political pensioners is fact too glaring to
deny. The sale Of the property would also
rebound to the pecuniary advantage Of the
city, as the proper investment of the purchase
money must yield . much higher sum than
the present income. But, on the other hand,
if the Comptroller has commenced the work Of
reform, and will persevere in il until he has
weeded out every abuse, there is no reason
why the market property may not be made
even more profitable source Of revenue to
the city than by private sale. Let the dilapi-
dated affairs that now disgrace our city be re-
placed by handsome, clean, we'll managed and
properly located structures, and the income
will be trebled in very short time. The
value Of the property is always on the increase,
and when the drainage of Corporation thieves
is effectually stopped the city will reap more
benefit from it than by selling it As it has
been, the market department Of the city gov
eminent would be di-grace to any country
village, and is unworthy Of the leading city in
America.

II will be seen, by the correspondence pub
lished in another part Of the HERALD that the
widow Of the lamented late President appears
before the public under peculiar and unfortu-
nate circumstances. She offers in this city the
most valuable portion Of her wardrobe for
sale, from necessity, as II is alleged. She
appears at FIRST TO have had some delicacy
about taking this step; for while she has right

been made The republican Congress may be
to blame for not showing more liberality to the
widow Of their chief and prominent individ-
uals OF the party (some Of whom are named),
who were deeply indebted 10 Mr.. Lincoln for
faVors, deserve condemnation for their ingrati-
tude; but Mrs. Lincoln's circumstances can
have no political effect We may regret the
want of liberality on the part of Congress and
the necessity which places Mrs. Lincoln in her
present disagreeable situation; but she has an
undoubted right to dispose Of her own property
as she pleases.

If anything were wanting to prove the march
OF the HERALD as an indispensable advertising
medium, we might bring forward the numerous
advertisements which we receive by telegraph
from the different parts Of the United States,

points TO the fact that the city Of New York is
the acknowledged business centre Of the coun-
try, while the HERALD is the recognized repre-
sentative Of It's progress.

Tho Reciprocity Treaty with tho Sandwich
Islands.


Our San Francisco kilograms inform us that
the Hawaiian Legislature approved of the pro-
posed Reciprocity treaty on the 22d Of Sep
TENDER, and that 1t was Immediately signed by
the King. Among the natives OF the islands q
great deal Of anxiety is manifested to know if
the treaty will be promptly approved by our
government We have no doubt that it will
be ratified at the earliest possible moment, Tor
the treaty is Of vital Importance to US as
commercial people. Not that our direct trade
with the Sandwich Islands is of great value
but the geographical position which these
islands occupy makes it of vital interest to US
to stand well with the people there. We have
an enormous whaling interest in the North
Pacific Ocean, and that branch Of our industry
Is now 80 managed that the Sandwich Islands
become the great centre from which our whal-
ing feet obtains Its supplies, refts, and sends
home the oil resulting from successful cruise.
We average an annual transshipment Of Of
least three million gallons of oil from Homo
lulu, while from five hundred to six hundred Of
our whaling fleet mike that port their rendez-
vous. Besides this, the islands are made very
valuable for our merchant ships which traverse
the North Pacific waters. So far as the mere
commerce Of the islands is concerned, it
amounts to nothing. The exports and imports
combined do not exceed two million dollars
annually.
The population of the kingdom has gradually
decreased until it is now seventy-three thou
sand about one half what it was when the
islands were discovered by Captain Cook.
The disease then given to the natives by the
English sailors has created fearful havoc
which is still reducing the population.
By examining the map it will be observed
that the Sandwich Islands occupy a .geographi-
cal position which makes them, in time OF war;
the keypoint Of our Pacific Ocean trade. Any
powerful nation, like England or France
possessing or indirectly controlling them
would be able to cut us off completely
from the great East India trade, which
we are now 50 rapidly developing. Not
only do the islands form magnificent
outpost with reference to. our own trade, but
wi h regard to the whole future commerce Of
the world. The unerring finger Of progress
points to the fact that almost the entire trade
Of the world will pass the narrow strips of
land in Central America which separate the
Atlantic from the Pacific Ocean. The whole of
the East India commerce will thus lie at the
feet Of the Sandwich Islands while they will
also be naval outpost for the whole of the
North American and Asiatic coast to the north
OF latitude twenty. We must not lose sight of
these facts Now is the time for US to build
up our interests in the Pacific Ocean and shape
our future commercial policy on broad foun-
dations !; for it is upon the shores OF the Pacific
that we are to find the means for the greatest
unrolling of our future greatness

1t appears that our immediate neighbors o;
the Park Bank have advanced their columns
little too far into the public highway-to the
extent Of six feet, or thereabout They have
had this infringement upon the public domain
legalized by resolution of the Common
Council, and Mayor Hoffman has allowed the
resolution TO pass by default for want of veto,
although he was notified by the Counsel to the
Corporation that there was serious legal OBJ
lection to it, as will be seen by the following

Now we have not the least objection to the

sonally concerned. We understand that they
intend to put up front Of the gingerbread
order, costing million dollars, which is to
be adorned with statues Of all the heather
mythology. II will be an ornament to the
locality and will greatly improve the adjoining
property but we should like to know how the
stockholders will relish the expense-whether
they are willing to balance diminished divi-
dends against the vanity Of the directors and
the spleen Of an architect who wants 10 out

Hoffman's motive in permitting the illegal

not be misunderstood. II will be rcadiy per-
ceived that he favors this encroacl upon the

will in some way damage the p.opesIy Of the

is fairly eating him up.
We object, however, to that kind OF legis-

which are denied to the poor apple woman
who, perhaps, has q starving family in some
obscure home depending upon her, and which
denies 70 the poor crippled soldier who lost his

lege Of little space in the streets wherein to

may earn small pittance by the sale Of news

done in the case Of the Soldiers Messenger
