The question of the disposition TO be
made OF the mi lions paid over TO our gov
eminent by England in accordance with
the decision OF the Geneva council has ad-
vanced one step. On Saturday by vote
Of the House Judiciary Committee, it WAS
decided. after long discussion, that no
provision be made for reimbursing any iu-
surance companies in any losses sustained
by them under policies insuring vessels
destroyed by rebel cruisers. There is NO
reason to believe that this action will be
changed when all the members are pres
eat. Butler, Wilson. Frye, White, Ward
and Eldridge are known TO be opposed to
allowing the insurance companies TO par.
ticipate in the distribution Of the award,
while Poland, Tremain and Jewett main
tain that they should be placed on an
equality with all other corporations or
persops who sustained losses from the
Alabama and her consoyts, and thinks
that they should at least be allowed to alb
sorb such portion Of the award a. remains

DEATH OF DIR. KIRK.
The Rev. Ed. N. Kirk, d. D., one of the
foremost members Of the Congregational
ministry, died very suddenly AZ his resi-
dence last Friday afternoon. He had been
pastor of the Mount Vernon church for
thirty-two years, but during the past three
years he has been assisted in bis pastorate
by the Rev. Mr.. Herrick. DR.. Kirk was
dearly beloved by all who knew him. e.
pecially by those who belonged to his par
ish, and the news Of his death sent . thrill
of sadness through many hearts. He was
a graduate Of Princeton College and of the
Princeton theological Seminary. He was

wide influence. He will be buried to

Mr.. Edmund Yates Ia, written a LONG
letter, on the subject OF Charles Dickrn,'s
domestic difficulties, called out by the
concluding volume OF Mr.. Fosters bloyra-
ply but he adds nothing OF value To the
record of that di>agreeable passage
10 the life OF the great novelist He men
,ions, however. the hitherto unpublished
fact THAT the publication OF the famous
statement by NJ DicAen, ia Household
Words concerning the separation from his
wife. was due to Mr. Delane. cIitor of the
London Times. II is well known that many
OF Dickens oldest and most intimate
friends protested against his making a
private matter public, and Dickens finally
agreed to submit his statement to Mr.. De-
lane, and abide by his opinion Mr.. De-
lane thought 1t ought TO be published. and
so 1t was. Its author, however. was no,
prepared Tor the extraordinary revulsion
OF popular feeling which followed its an
pearance. His publishers, Douglas Jer-
rold, Mark Lemon and many other init.
mate associates openly broke with him,
violent articles against him appeared in
the newspapers, aud the following cpl
gram. not reproduced by Mr. Foster. was
widely Circulated
With tongue and pen no more NAV Dickens
fudge,
In vain for truth and charity he pleads:
The world aroused, the author now we'll
judge,
Not by his Household Words but house
bold deeds.
The virulence and the cxtent of the hos
tile criticism of that period may be ac-
counted for in part from the fact that the
public had been led. by the tone OF Dick
ems novels. to look upon their author as
the incarnation Of every domestic virtue;
and by his own confession he wassuddenly
found guilty Of putting away the wife with
whom he had lived for twenty years. for
the qualification ola capricious and NOR
bid fancy.
