Tho Private fjetteroot Dickens to Fors? ter, Relating to HU American Tour In 184?. [From Forster's Lire or Dickens.] THE OUTWARD VOYAQB. "We have eighty-six passengers; one! such a strange collection of beasts never was got to? gether upon the sea since the days of the Ark. I have never been in the saloon sijce the first day; the noise, the smell and the closeness being quite Intolerable. I have only been on decs: once-and thep I was surprised and dis? appointed at the smallness of toe panorama. The sea, running as it does and has done, is very stupendous, and vfewed from the air or some great height, would be grand no doubt. But seen irom ibe wet and roiling decks, in this weather and these circumstances, it only Impresses one giddily and ralnfully. I was < very glad to turn away and come below again. "I have established myself, from the first, In the ladled' cabin-you remember lt! I'll describe Its other occupants, and our way ol passing the time, to you. "first, for the occupants. Kate and I, and Ann-when she ls out or bed, which is not often. A queer Utile Scotch boy, a Mrs. P-, whose husband is a silversmiih lu New Tork. He married her at Glasgow three years ago, and bolted the day aller the wedding: being (which be had not told her) heavily in debt. Since then she has been living with her mother; and she is now going out under the protection of a male cousin, to give him a year's trial. If she ls not comfortable at the expiration ofthat time, she means to go back to Scotland agalo. A Mrs. B-, about twenty years old, whose husband is on board with her. He ls ayoung Englishman domiciled in New York, and by trade (as well as 1 can make out) a woollen-druper. They have been married a fortnight. A Mr. and Mrs. C-, marvellously fond of each other, com? plete the catalogue. Mrs. C-, I have settled, ls a publican's daughter, and Mr. C-is running away with ber, the lill, the time piece off the bar mantel-shelf, the mother's gold watch Irom the pocket at the bead of the bed, and other miscellaneous properly. The women are all pretty; unusually pretty; I never saw such good faces together, anywhere. Their "way of passing the time" will bi found In the Notes much as lt was written to me, except that there was one point connect? ed with the card-playing which he feared might overtax the credulity ol' hts readers, but which he protest ed had occurred more lhau once : "Apropos of rolling, I have forgotten to v mention that In playing whist we are obliged to put the tricks In our pockets, to keep them irom disappearing altogether; and that five or six times In the course of every rubber we an* all flung from our seats, roll out at different doors, and keep on rolling until we are picked up by stewards. This hus become such a mat **" ter of course that we go through lt with per? fect gravity, and, wheu we are bolstered up on our sofas ugaio, resume our conversation or our game at the point where it was interrupt ed.' The news t nat excited them from day to I day, loo, of which lillie more than a hint ap- I pears ia the Notes, is worth giving as origin-1 ally written : .'As for news, we have more of that than I you would think for. One man lost fourteen pounds of vlugt-ua in ttie saloon yesterday, or another got drunk before dinner was over, or another was blinded with lobster-sauce split over him by the ste wai d, or another had a fall on deck and fainted. The chip's cook was drunk yesterday morning, (having got at some I salt-water-damaged whiskey) und the captain ordered the boatswain to piay upon him with the hose of the fire eugine until he roared f r mercy-which he didn't get, tor he was sen? tenced to look ont for four hours at a stretch for four nighty running, without a great coat, and to have his grog stopped. Four dozen plates were broken at dinner. One Bte ward I fell down the cabin stairs with a round of beef, and injured his foot severely. Another I steward fell down alter him and cut his eye I open. The baker's taken 111; so ls the pastry? cook. A new man, sick to death, han been required to Hil the place of the latter officer, and has been dragged out of bed and propped up in a little house upon desk, between two I casks, and ordered (the captain standing over I bim) to make and roll out pie-cnist. which he protests, with tears In his eye1, as lt is death to him In his bilious slate to look ar. Twelve dozen of bottled porter has got loose upon deck, and (he bottles are roiling about dis? tractedly overhead. Lord Mulgrave (a hand- I some fellow, by-tbe-by, to look at, and noth? ing but a good 'un to go) laid a wager with twenty-five other men lost night, whose berths, like his, are in the fore-cabin, which can only bc got at by crossing the deck, that he womd I ?</ reach bis cabin flrat. Watches were set by the captain's, and they sallied forth wrapped I up in coats and storm caps. The sea brnke over tbe ship so violently that they were five and twenty minutes holding on by the band rail at the starboard paddle-box, drenched lo tba skin by every wave, and not daring to go on or come back, lest they should be wash d overboard. NewsA dozen murders in I town wouldn't Interest us half as much." I HIS ARRIVAL IN BOSTON. He resumed his letter at Tremont House on Saturday, the 28th of January, having reached Boston that day week at five In the afternoon, and, as his first American experience ls very lightly glanced at in the Notes, a fuller picture will perhaps be welcome : "As Ute Cunard boats have a wharf of their own at Hie custom? house, and that a narrow one. we were a long I time (an hour at least) working in. I was standing in full fig on the paddle-box be side the captain, staring about me, when sud? denly, long before we were moored to the wharf, a dozen men came leaping on board at the peril of their lives, with great bundles of newspapers under their arms, worsted com? forters (very much the worse for wear) round their necks, and so forth. 'Aha !' says I, 'this is like our London bridge;' believing, of I course, that these visitors were newsooys. But what do you tnlnk of their being editors ? And what do you think of their tear? ing violently up to me and beginning to shake hands like madmen? Oh! If you could havel men how J wrung their wrists? And if you could but know how I hated one man In very dirty gaiters, and with very protruding upper teeth, who said to all comers after bim, 'So you've been Introduced to our Irlend Dickens, I eb? There was oue among them, though, who really waa of use-a Dr. S., editor of tue_. J j He ran off here (two miles, at least,) and or? dered rooms and dinner. And In the course I of time Kate, and I, and Lord Mulgrave (who wan going back to his regiment at Montreal on Monday, and had agreed to live with us in the meanwhile)sat down in a spacious and hand? some room to a very handsome dinner, bating peculiarities of putting OD table, and had for? gotten the ship entirely. A Mr. Alexander, to whom I bad written from England promising to sit for a portrait, was on board directly we touched the land, and brought us here in his carriage. Tuen, after sending a present of most beautiful flowers, he left us to ourselves, and we thanked him for it." What further he had to say of that week's experience fiodslis first public utterance here. "How can I tell you." ne continues, "what bas happened since that first day ? How can I give you the faintest notion of my reception here; of the crowds that pour in and out thc whole day; of the people that line the streets when I go out, of the cheering when I went to the theatre; of the copies of verses, letters of congratulation, welcomes of air I kinds, balls, dinners, assemblies without end ? There ls to be a public dinner tome herein Boston, next Tuesday, and great dissatlefac- I tlon has been given to the many by the high price (three pounds sterling each,) of ihe j tickets. There ls to be a ball next Monday week at New York, and one hundred and fitly names appear on the list of the committee. There is io be a dinner in the same place, io the same week, to which I have had an invita Hon with every known name in America ap- j pended to lt. But what can I tell you about any of these things which will give you the slightest notion of the enthusiastic greeting thev give me, or the cry that runs through the whole country ? I have had depu? tations from Ihe Fur West, who have come Irom more than two thousand miles distance; irom the lakes, the rivers; the backwoods, the log-houses, the cities, factories, villages and towns. Authorities Irom nearly all the States have written to me. I have heard from the universities, Congress, Senate, and bodies, public and private, of every sort; and kind. 'Ic is no nonsense, and no common feeling,' wrote Dr. Channing to me yesterday. 'It Is all heart. T?tere never was. and never will be, such a triumph.' And It is a good thing, ls lt not * * * to find those fancies] lt has given me and you the greatest saiisfactlon to think of at the core of it all? It makes my heart quieter, and me a more retiring, sober, tranquil man, to watch the effect of those thoughts in all tl.!?? noise and hurry, even than if I sal, pea in hana, to put them down for the first time. I feel, in the best aspects of tliis welcome, something of the presence and influence of that spirit which directs my life, and through a heavy sorrow has pointed upward with unchanging finger for mere than four years past. And If I know my heart, not twenty times this praise would move me to an act of folly." FIRST IMPRESSION'S. " 'Well,' I can fancy you saying, 'but about hts impressions of Boston and the Americans?' Ol the latter, I will say not a word until I have seen more ot them, and have gone into the in? terior. I only say, now, that we have never yet been required to dine at a table d'hote; that, thus far, our rooms are as much our own here as they would be at the Clarendon; that but for an odd phrase now and then-such as Snap of cold weather: a tongue-y man for a talk?: ive fellow; Possible* as a solitary Interrogation, and res? for Indeed-I should have marked, so far, no difference whatever between the partleB here and those I have left behind. The women are very beautiful, but they soon fade; the general breeding ls neither stiff nor for? ward; the good nature universal. If you ask the way to a place of some common water-side man, who don't know you from Adam-he turns and goes with you. Universal deference is paid to ladies; and they walk about at all j season?, wholly unprotected. * . * * This hotel is a trifle smaller than Finsbury square; and is made so Infernally hot (I use the expression advisedly) by means of a fur? nace, with pipes running through the passages, that we can hardly bear ir. Tnere are no cur? tains lo the beds or to the bed room windows. I am told there never are, hardly, all through America. The bed-rooms are, indeed, very bare of furniture. Ours is nearly as large as your great room, and has a wardrobe lu lt, of painted wood, not larger (I appeal to K. ) than an English watch-box. I slept lu this room two nights, quite satisfied with the belief that it was a shower-bath." The last addition made lo this letter, Irom which many of the vividest pages of the Notes (among them the bright quaint picture of Bos ion streets) were taken with small alteration, bore date the 29th of January: "I hardly know what to add to all this long and unconnected history. Dana, the author of that. Two Years Before the Mast," (a book which I hal prized much to bim, thinking it like De Foe,) ''Is a very nice fellow Indeed; and in appearance not ai all th? man you would expect. He Is short, mlld-Iooklng, and has a care-worn face. Ills father ls exactlv like George Cruikshank after a night's Jollity-only shorter. The pro? fessors at Cambridge Uulversiiy, Longfellow, Felton, J ired Sparks, are noble fellows. So ls Kenyon's friend, Ticknor. Bancroft is a fa? mous man; a .straightforward, manly, earnest heart; and talks much of you, which Is a great comfort. Dr. Channing I will tell you more of after I nave breakfasted alone with him next Wednesday. * * ? Sumner is ol great ser? vice to me. * * * The president of the Sen? ate here presides at my dinner on Tuesday. Lord Mulgrave lingered wilh U3 till last Tues? day (we had our little Captain lo dinner on the Monday,) and then went on to Canada. Kale is quite well, and so ls Anne, whose smartness surpasses belief. They yearn for home, and so do I." TRAVELLING IM AMERICA. "I have ollen asked Americans lu London which were the better railroads, ours or theirs? They have taken time for reflection, and generally replied on mature considera? tion that they rainer thought we excelled; In respect to the punctuality with which we ar? rive at our stations, ami the smoothness of our travelling. I wish you could see what an American railroad ls, in some ports where I now have seen them. I won't Eay I wish you could feel what lt ls, because that would be an unchristian and savage aspiration. It is never inclosed or warded on. You walk down the main street of a large town, and slap-dash, headlong, pell-mell, down the mid? dle of the street, with pigs burrowing, and boys flying kites and playing marbles, and men smoking, and women talking, and chil? dren crawling close to the very rails, there comes tearing along a mad locomotive with its tralniof cars, scattering a red-hot shower of sparks (from its wood fire) in all direction?: screeching, hissing, yelling and panting, and nobody oue atom more concerned than if lt were a hundred miles away. You cross a turnpike road, and there ls no gate, no police? man, no signal-nothing to keep the wayfarer or quiet traveller out of tho way, but a wood? en arch on Which ls written, In great letters: 'Look out for the locomotive.' And If any man, woman or child don't look out, why, it's bis or her fault, and there's an end ot li. '.ihe cars are like very shabby omnibuses only larger, holding sixty or seventy people. The seats, Instead of being placed longways, are put cross-wise, back to front. Each bolds two. There ls a long row of these on each side of the caravan, and a narrow passage up the centre. The windows are usually all closed, and there is very often, in addition, a bot, close, most intolerable charcoal stove In a red hot glow. The heat and closeness are quite insupportable. But this Is the characteristic of all American bouses, of all the public institu? tions, chapels, theatres and prisons. From the constant use of the hard anthracite coal in these beastly furnaces, a perfectly new class of diseases is springing up in the country. Their effect upon an Euglishman is briefly told. He Is always very sick and very faint ; and has an intolerable headache, morning, noon and night." ? ., ^ ?_ EARTH CLOSETS.-Carefully prepared statis? tics put the number ol deaths at thirty thous? and annually, resulting irom cholera, dysen? tery and typhoid fever, allured chiefly by the open privies ol the country. The Journal of Applied Chemistry says of this fact: "It ls asking too much of an intelligent community that it should tolerate such nuisances much longer, and we reiterate what we have said before, that nothing but Ignorance stands in the way of the universal Introduction ol the dry-earth system. We last year gave the re? sults of our experience with the earth closer, and this year can add the accumulation of another summer's trial. We prepared three barrels of sifted and semi-dried earth for our supply for a family of eight persons, and this material, with a barrel of hard coal ashes, making four barrels In all, was found to be sufficient for four months. The greater part ot lt passed through the closet five times, and, when stored away in the barn this autumn, was not so disagreeable in odor as many sam? ples of guano." The same paper argues that as soon as earth closets become generally known and introduced, and the value of the material becomes kn^wn, it stands to reason that companies will "?. .organized who will furnish all the dry earth and empty the scut tleB without any charge lo the family, and I eventually they will pay for the privilege. This Is certainly an Important subject, wheth? er it ls regarded la a sanitary or pecuniary point of view, and especially so for large cities. A NEW PARTITION WALL.-A new kind of wall is coining into use in England, the ad? vantages claimed for which are the very im? portant ones ot non-absorbency of moisture, non-conduction of heat, economy of space, a washable surface, and, withal, cheapness. Over a irame-work of strong cross-wires, of about one-eighth ol'an inch in thickness, there is woven a compnct layer ot fibrous matter, which is saturated with a solution that renders it fire-proof. It ls then subjected to a very powerful pressure. A coating of light Scon's cement ls then put upon it lor InBide facing, and of Portland cement for outside facing. By this means surlaces are made Impermeable to moisture, smooth, und easily washed with water, thus saving the expense of repeated lime-washings. It Is lormud Into slabs in Iron frames, which are put together and closelv and securely fastened wilh bolts. The Blabs are fruin one aud a half Inch to four Inches thick. They serve as superior paneling for dividing walls and partitions. Whore space ls of import mice, it has the advantage, perhaps, over concrete walling. In enuring a wall to be made ot not more limn one and a half or two Inches in thickness, and yet its qna lty ls said to greatly deaden sound. -The Norfolk, Va., Journal agitates for tel? egraphic communication along the coast from Cape Henry to Cape Hatteras. It would be a measure of safety to the victims of shipwreck on that coast. THE DATS OF THE COMMONE TUE STORY OF ROSSEL'S RESIGNA? TION AND FLIGHT. A Brave Man's Admissions. A number of Rossel's writings, Intended for posthumous publication, have appeared print In Paris. The author, In the extract fol lo win g, explains the exact nature of the circumstances which attended his resigna? tion, contemplated arrest and final flight : 'On the 8th o? May the chiefs of legion as? sembled to enter their protest against the formation of regiments. Many of them who were sent to me for this purpose de dared that their authority was sufficiently established to enable them to put troops the field at once, and promised me for the next day twenty-five battalions, ol five hun dred men each, In marching trim. I did not place much dependence on this promise; but as a success was urgent. If it were only to give time to organize the defence, I determined, they brought me a few battalions in good con ditton, to go out with them and engage the enemy In the open field. I gave orders at the same time for Bergeret's regiment to be pres ent, as I knew lt lo be better prepared than the others. Bergeret promised, but gave an excuse at the eleventh hour for the absence of three battalions which would not march for want ot certain accessories. Several chiefs of legion came also In the evening to apprise me that they would not be able to provide the troops which they had promised It was then that I dictated my resignation copies of which I sent to the most widely cir? culated Journals. 1 he next moment I learned tli at the tri-color was floating "over Fort Issy which had been abandoned on the preceding evenlog by the garrison, and which I In vain attempted to reoccupy. I went afterward, for conscience sake, to see the troops which the cblels of legion had assembled, and caused their effective strength to be counted. This effective did not amount to five thousand men, and was composed of wretched troops. The Commune, on receipt of my letter, sent two deputations, one after another, to persuade me to withdraw roy resignation. On my refusal, they ordered the commission o? war to assume the direction of a delegation of war, and to place me under ar? rest. At the same time, the central commit? tee, which was sliting at the ministry or war. was Eendlng me deputation after deputation to ask me to present myself at their meetings I was obliged to j le d to their pressure, and I gave ihem the explanations which they re? quired, pointing out to them that I could not be expected to do all the work-to be at once corporal and captain-to run hither and thith? er alter men who were tired of fighting, while all those who ought to have been working were occupied In very unseasonable delibera? tions. The central committee was stupe? fied. On leaving, I went and dined with Dombrowskl, where I received a messenger from the central committee, who Informed me that the committee was going to ask the Commune to allow me full powers. I re? turned to the ministry at about ten o'clock, where I received the visit ot all tue commis? sion ol war, reinforced with Johanard and Delescluze. Alter the first compliments bad passed between ns, Delescluze reproached me with having publicly placarded the capture of Fort Issy. I answered him rather sharply that the people ought to be the first to hear news of this Importance. We argued for some time on this point, which was the great? est grievance the Commune had against me; and the commission, which had brought with lt a warrant of arrest, went away without communicating this warrant to me, and after having begged that I would continue to discharge my lunctions till the next day. This I agreed to do only on the con? dition that I should be allowed lo retain one of the members of the commission to sign all documents. On the following morning the commission, very much perplexed at not having carried out Ita formal order, sends two of UB members to Inv?teme lo accompany them to the Hotel de Ville, and I remained at the Questure till five o'clock without being either free or a prisoner. At five o'clock Gerardln Joined us, and Informed me that be had come to constitute himself a prisoner with mc. The fitting of the Com? mune had J)een uproarious. No reason would be listened to, and an act of Indictment had been* decreed against me. They had even named the court-martial, of which Collet was to b<3 the president. I could not bear the idea of appearing as an accused before thia Collet, whom I had seen in abject fear of the shells at Issy, and it was then I determined to fly from the juBtlce of the Commune. I brought Gerar din away with me In my carriage, which set us ! down In the Boulevard Sr. Michel, and each of | us went In search o? a lodging. .I served the revolution lulthfully, blindly, HU the day when experience had convinced me of the vanity of the hopes 1 had founded on this venture. The Commune had no states? men, no soldiers, and did not wish to have any. It accumulated ruins on itself, without having either the power or even the desire of | cresting anything aireen. Opposed lo public? ity because lt was conscious of its folly, op? posed to liberty because lt existed lo an un? stable equilibrium, from which the slightest move was bound to make lt fall, this oligarchy wai the most odious despotism that could bo Imagined. Possessing only one Idea of gov eminent, which consisted In keeping the peo? ple in its pay, it squandered by its expendi? tures the savings of the Democracy and ruined the hopes of the latter by causing the people to lose the habit of working. When I saw that this evil was beyond remedy-that every ef? fort, every sacrifice, was barren-my role came to an end." __ FASHION NOTES. -A new style of for is known by the name o? wolverine, and will be, it is said, aa popular next season as sealskin ls this. -The dresses are ail trimmed with small bows of the silk, and a shade darker Dian the dress. Ladles, it seems, cannot get along without bows (beaux.) -Four curls depending from the top of the head, where they are fastened by a knot of | black velvet or bow of bright ribbon, ls the latest fashionable style for dressing the hair j for young ladles. -Crimson cloth jackets or sacks, trimmed with jet beada and embroidery, are very fash? ionable for opera wear, or for afternoon recep? tions, with dress or bonnet trimmings to match. They contrast well. -The light-colored tortoise shell ls becom? ing all the rage, and every style of ornament ls made ol lt. Some very pretty fans have al? ternate sticks of dark ana light color, which are very unique and pretty. -In New York, ladles, when on promenade, wear a belt of leather around tue waist, to which ls fastened a clasp which holds an um- j brella of brown, purple or blue silk on one | side, so that a lady may carry an umbrella without being obliged to take her hands out of j her muff. -Colored lace Is very much used for trim-1 ming handsome light silk costumes, and many fashionable ladies submit their handsome point and valencienne laces to the hands of the dyer, to conform to a fashion which, like all others, will soon die (dye) out, and then lt will be of | no use whatever. POLITICAL CHESSMEN.-At the exhibition of | the Art Association of Munich there was dis? played a curious set of chessmen carved by an eminent sculptor. The principal pieces rep? resent in figure aud face the leading charac? ters of France and Germany. The rival kings are the EmperorB William I and Napoleon III, and the queens are the Empresses Augusta and Eugenie. The other principal pieces are stat uettes of Prince Frederick, Bismarck, Von j Moltke aud the prominent German generals: j while Theirs, Gambetta, Bazaine and other {leaders are on the French side. The pawnB t consist of Uhlans and German light horse, ' who are opposed to Turcos and members of | the Mobile Guard. The two castles on the German side stand for Rastatt and Mayence, while those on (he French side stand for Strasbourg and Metz. It ls suggested that, although these chessmen may be valuable as souvenirs ot the Franco-German war, yet they cannot be used to advantage In the mimic game. For, when Hercules and Lichas play at dice which 1? the bettor men, the greater throw may turj by fortune from the weaker hand, BO in a contest between equally-match? ed chess-players using this Franco-German set, the German pieces may be captured, and the Emperor William driven Into a corner aud | checkmated.

Experience ia the use of this GUANO for the psst six years in this State, for Cotton and Corn, has so far established its character for excellence as to render comment unnecessary. In accordance with the established policy of the Company to furnish the best Concentrated Ferti? lizer at ihe lowest cost to consumers, this Ouano ls put into market this season at the above re? duced price, which the Company ls enabled to do by reason o Its large facilities an i the reduced cost of manufacture. The supplies put Into market this season are, as heretofore, prepared under the personal superin? tendence of Dr. St. Julian Ravenel, Cbemlit or the Company, at Charleston, S. C., hence planters may rest assured tnatlts quality and composition ls precisely the same as that heretofore sold. At ihe present low price, every acre planted can be fertilized with 200 pounds Guano at a cost not exceeding the present value or 30 pounds or cotton, while experience has shown that under favorable condition of season and cultivation, the crop is increased by the application from two to three fold the natural capacity of the soil, hence under no condition could its application fail to compensate for the outlay.
