Mr. Dickon's readings, but being prevented by ihe nat uro of their avo? cations from attending any entertainments in the evening, addressed a letter to Mr. Dickens, requesting him to give what in their own par? lance would be called a morning performance. To this appeal Mr. Dickens has acceded, and ?dil give three morning readings ia London. -With the other advances of the day In rail Toad travel, must be uoted an arrangement whioh has just been completed for through trains between New York and New Orleans. The only change of cars ott this whole trip will be at Louisville, whioh is very nearly a half? way point. The through time will be ?eventy vbt hours. Sleeping-oars are tb run on all trains, and berths or sections may be secured for the whole trip. At most seasons of the year the difference of climate between the ter? minal pointa of this immense line witt require passengers to provide for a change of clothing during the journey. --It is ?tated, st ml-offidally, that the rc e?ltfta from customs now promise to be the largest of any on? year in th? history of the government-reaohmg probably $190,000.000, >or $20,000,000 in excess of the estimates, and .it it not impossible that they may even reach ike nigh figure of $200,000.000. The internal revenue receipts to the present time are in ex <ee*s of $110,000,000. Th? remaining three months, till July, will cover the greater por? tion of tho income tax and the special taxes which fall duo May t, and which will augment the recoipts to $150,000,000, and possibly to $100,000,000. _It is said that wlien the character of Mr. Chandler's speech was explained to Mr. Thorn? ton, the British Minister, he laughed scornful? ly and exclaimed, "Pshaw 1 very good speech to tickle Yankee Doodle's vanity, but nothing moro it lt. Vox et prouerea nihil. America can't afford to uo to war with us, you know, and wo shan't bo frightened by throats of that kind." He is also oredited with the remark that the Chandler speech will be a God-send to tho Tory party at home, as they will besuco to construe it as a menace; which the party in power will bc called upon to resent, or ciao bear the odium of submitting to it. In any Bvent, it will answer to inflamo the popular fooling, and put tho day of sottlemont farther ?way than ever. CHAR L?STON. : SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 24, 1869. New Channels of Trade. The New York spring Irado has not been nearly as aotiye as it was expected, to be, and tho commercial press of that oily are endeavoring to figure out the exaot cause of the disappointment. The Southern trade was less than was expected, while the West is so crippled by the shrinkage in grain and the failure to realise upon the bulk of last season's crop, that the traders of that section h?ve been unable to meet their ob? ligations with the usual promptitude. But there is another solution of the matter that the New Yorkers seem to admit with some reluctance, since it foreshadows a per? manent loss of, trade lo .their city. .Thia is explained by a Washington paper to be the successful effort of the Western jobbers to sstablisb. a direct trade with foreign coun? tries. The result of this movement is bo joming more apparent each season. As the rade of the interior centres inoreases, the nercbanfs of the principal distributive narkets find it profitable to import for themselves, and it is simply a question of imo as to when the great cities of the West, low demanding to be made ports of entry, viii distribute most of their imported goods 'rom their own centres, instead of paying tribute to the seaport markets and the nu? merous railroads. Many kinds of West tndia, South American and European pro luctiouB, which were lately drawn from Mew York, now Beek their destination ria the Southern ports. The opening of the Pacific Railroad must tend to revolutionize the Asiat ic trade, causing the goods of China and India to roach the Western cities via San Francisco instead of New York; To these movements must be, added the growth of manufactures in the interior, and the increasing competition offered by all the old centres of commerce on the At? lantic coast. Portland and Boston vie with New York for the trade of Canada and tho Northwest. Philadelphia and Baltimore contend with her for the trade of the West and Southwest. Charleston and Norfolk will be formidable competitors, as their direct steamship lines become more nume? rous and their railroad connections with the West and Southwest are completed. . New York will doubtless always continue o be the leading city of the Atlantio coast ; ?ut will hardly be able to maintain the overshadowing supremacy of the past. The Cap Which Cheers. The New York Tribune has found out that the climate and soil of the South are admirably adapted to, the culture of the tea plant; and the New York Shipping and Commercial List says : "Samples of the leaves of the Young "Hyson Tea plant have been received from ((the plantation of Captain Campbell, Knox ?ville, Tenn. The plants were obtained "through tho Agricultural Department at "Washington, in 1858, grew well, and have "attained a size of from six to. eight feet, "From the experiment? made in Tennessee, "it seems" that the eastern part Cf that "Stftte is well fitted for the growth of,thia "plant." , This is doubtless thought te be a wonderful discovery; and Mr. Greeley who, if he may be believed, understands Southern farming and planting better than men who have practiced it all their lives, will be surprised to leam that tea-raising in the South is no novelty. A Mr; Smith commencedi the cul? tivation pf tea many years ago near Colum? bia in this State, and waa very successful. The example was followed by many others. Dr. Aoee, of Talbot County, Ga., has been at the business for many years, and the plant is still grown, though not to any great extent. . The faot is that the ten ptaa? snay b easily raised anywhere in the South. It ii a hardy, vigorous evergreen, bears a beau? tiful blossom and makes a very handsome ornament fer the garden. With a little care and attention any one may have all the varieties of tea? for they all oomo from the same bush, the difference being in the time, of getting the leaven, and have better tea than such as is adulterated by the Celes? tials, or the Yankees who import what ono? was a luxury, but what has become a ne? cessity to almost every family. We may be for awhile Seo ond Chop in poi it los, but if we like we oan have at onoo First Chop tea. r rjfe-, "? ''? i ?--' . IT ia reported that Dr. M. H. Collins is a candidate for th? office of Appraiser of the Port of Charleston* and has been recom? mended by one of the senators and tare? of the representatives in Congress from South Carolina.

St?- vi? -wa. REMINISCENCES OF FEUX MENDELSSOHN BAR? THOLDI'. A Social and ArtiBtio Biography. By Eliso Polkc. Translated by Lady Wal? lace. With additional letters addressed to English correspondents. Now York: Loypoldt & Holt, 18G9. Charleston : John Russell. Thia is an nrtistio biography only so far as it narrates the manner in which tho musical works of Mendelssohn wore composod and produced, no attempt being made to give tech? nical analyses of bis compositions or to traco in bard lines t ho plan of his professional life. His varied compositions aro treated as being a part of Ibo mon, not as an accident or nn ex? crescence, developing tho idea that they who know not bis music know not Mendelssohn, and that to thoso who know not Mendelssohn his music is unknown. Tho story is one of touohing affection, earnest friendship and de? voted love, with strains of the master's melo? dy running through che whole, to form tho simple, enthusiastic and large-hearted man whom the world knows as Mendelssohn. No one can read this book without knowing bet? ter, and admiring more, the author of St. Paul and Elijah, the Songs Without Words, and the fairy music of Midsummer Night's Dream; and the heart would be cold, indeed, that could blame an enthusiasm which becomes some? what monotonous iu bestowing a praise so |? honorably won. The translation is a good one, although tho womanly italio is not sparingly used, and the book is well bound and clearly printed on tinted paper. ERIPI,0\MKNT.-T?O IV DULL.
