THAT singular specimen of an apostle of the Gentiles in the nineteenth century, M. Lo' is Vatru.tor, who is more a Roman than a Gaul, though his style is very strongly flavoured with Gallic salt, wrote two books which achieved, and deserved to achieve, a certain success among the scandalous and the devout public of his nation a.al his adopted country. In one, entitled " The Per " fumes of Rome," he described his impressions as a pious Catholic layman of the capital of the Papacy, which by right of the majestic monuments and traditions of its ancient history, and of the haunting memories and associations which make every vestige of its ruins holy ground to the pilgrims of everycreed and country, no less than by the buried multitudes of its Chris tian martyrs, and the splendid fans—as many as the year counts days—of its Paganism trans formed, claims the rank and title of an " Eternal " City." There might be something of presump tuous impiety in this appellation were it not for the profound and melancholy irony of an eternity which is composed of all that most reminds the generations who come and gaze and go, of the perishableness, the transitoriness, the inanity of the proudest human names and works in this world below. No sublimer teach ing of the vanity of mortal destinies is to be found than in that " majesty of situations " which M. Vein ttor worships at Rome. That mute sermon—that " sermon in stones "—which makes the voices of the present Rome sound so weak amidst the echoes of the past, is one that all the pulpits which proclaim the eternity of the latest dogma cannot silence or preach away. The eternity to which they bear witness—these ruins upon ruins—is no more and no better than the eternity of matter—an eternity of perishable elements incessantly transmuted or transformed. Those churches in which the rites of a transformed worship are celebrated are built over and some times out of the remains of heathen temples. And to-day, as two thousand years ago, the priests of the dominant worship proclaim the city of these altars " eternal." With " The Per "fumes of Rome" M. Vzurizor contrasted the "Odours of Paris," greatly to the disadvan tage of the capital of modern civilization. Some thing more than a Roman at Rome, the fervent Catholic journalist could not shake of the Parisian in his contemptuous and angry peregri nations through the theatres, the casinos, and the estainineta, the schools, the lecture-halls, the dancing-gardens of Paris. Be denounced the vulgar luxuries and unsavoury seductions of the French capital in the choicest argot. It was easy enough to make Baron HAI:MULCH'S architectural prodigies look small beside the monuments of the Roman decadence, and to turn with an impatient sneer from the feverish ennui of the modern city of pleasure to the solemnities and sanctities of a city which not even a frivolous mob of fashionable tourists can vulgarize. M. VEUILLOT, certainly in a style not always so edifying as his theme, drew the two pictures of Rome and Paris with all the zest of a sinner, and all the zeal of a penitent. But he has now found a rare occasion for en larging upon his favourite text, in transferring himself from Paris, in all its glory, to Rome in all its spiritual splendour, as the capital of the Christian world. M. Vriumarr, feeling sick, as many leas pious people may have felt, of the fumes of Parisian dinners, the gas of Parisian theatres, the cease less gabble of the Boulevards, and the buffets of the Champ de Mars, rushed off to Rome to refresh himself with the " perfumes" of the Tiber, and of that vast collection of ecchsiastics who have come together at the call of the Vatican to celebrate the eighteenth centenary of the mar tyrdom of Sr. Prrza and Sr. PAUL. Preferring, perhaps, even the "odours" of the Italian king dom to those of a steam-packet from Marseilles to Civita Vecchia, this remarkable religious product of an age of unbelief passed over the moun tains to Turin and Florence, and thence to Rome. Everything in Italy displeases his delicate taste ; the custom-house officers at Susa are rudely conscientious ; Turin is dreary, and has a "left off' look ; Florence is simply an abomina tion; its walls are covered with odious caricatures; the Parliament Chamber is a hive of drones and wasps ; only ten frescoes of Bun Ananuoo THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1867. redeem the pollution of that abandoned little city. The passage from Florence to Rome is " from " death to life." n In the Papal frontier no searching of luggage, no passports ; but whether this surprising change is the result of an under standing with the Italian Government, or only a temporary relaxation in favour of distim,fuished pilgrim, M. VEUILLoT forbears to state. The celebration of the eighteenth centenary of Sr. Pares and Sr. PAU L's martyrdom will indeed have done something for humanity if it abolishes ; the search of luggage and passports. Once at Rome, M. VEIJILLOT is in his • element ; or rather in his purer element. Ho I writes with fervour and unction ; but with a calm superiority which he too often forgets I amidst the " Odours of Paris." In describing the magnificent ecclesiastical ceremonials of which the daily modern " majesty" of Rome consists, and to I which the present picturesque assemblage of the hierarchy, and clergy, and religious orders from all parts of the Catholic world contributes, the effect of vast numbers and variety of cost 1111 l c, he touches with a light and skilfhl hand the awnings, the tapestry, the ,garlands, and all the scenic de corations and appointments. And while in a few I words, the force of which all who know the Eter nal City will understand—" you feel that you are " in Rome"—he presentato the reader's imagination a background unsurpassable in affecting grandeur, ho concentrates the light upon that central figure of the venerable POPE on his knees, and rapt in an ecstasy of adoration, borne aloft through the crowd of worshippers amidst the booming of guns and the clangor of the trumpets. The picture is exe cuted with rare skill, and with that conti nence and compression of style which may be re commended to some of the word-painters who per form such prodigies in the English language. No doubt even ecclesiastical ceremonials have their unitize . There is a slight touch of the thea trical in representing the venerable Pore "on his " knees," when in sober fact he is sitting under a convenient disguise. " You feel that you are " in Rome," exclaims M. Yee ; but it is not in the Rome of the catacombs and the martyrs. It is in the Rome "of Neao's circus," of "the " obelisks erected in honour of ATIOUSTUS and TIRERIUm, and raised again by SIXTUs QUINTUS." Even so staunch a hater of Ciesarism as M. Vatiim.or cannot deliver himself from the tyranny of these tremendous Pagan memories. This is the " majesty of the situation ;" these are the names that possess him while he contemplates the successors of the Christian martyrs, marching with deeply-felt but somewhat dissembled humility through the Piazza, glowing with colour and resound- ing with military music. M. VEUILLOT does not fail to make a point of the contrast between the weak ness and defencelessness of the temporal power and this immense act of duty to the spiritual authority of the Head of the Church by the faithful from all parts of the earth. But he judiciously abstains from pressing the logic of his comparisons too far, as it might prove that as the spiritual authority was never so strong as when the temporal authority was most weak, it might be even stronger if the temporal power were abolished altogether. We dare say there were sincere Catholics present in the Piazza of St. Peter who could not escape the impression that the &moves of the Foreign Legion, and the gendarmes, and the artillery, were some what out of place in a celebration of the martyr dom of ST. PETER and ST. PAUL, unless they might be supposed to figure as theatrical repre sentatives of the Roman soldiers who " kept the " ground " during the crucifixion of the Apostles. of the Pope seems to be unalterably established. It will be impossible for the Holy See to blind itself to the indif ference with which the decrees of the council will be re strived by the outside world. The Russian government, which now alone continues or revives the old practice of persecution, cares little whether an anathema provoked by logical adoption of the principles of the allocution is ut tered by a pope or by a council. Antiquaries will watch the show with interest, as ill the ancient forms will be carefully observed ; an 1 perhaps a lay politician here or there may believe that tho council will strengthen the Pope for good or for evil. There is no reason for any anxious protestant above the level of the Birmingham rioters and their instigators to be alarmed at the prospect of a general council. On the Irish church the Saturday Review sums up by saying that nothing will be done in calm and compara tively promising seasons. The Irish church will be dealt with some day, and as there is little hope of its being fairly dealt with, there is every chance of its being un fairly dealt with. As the patient will take no medicine, the probability is that he will be poisoned souse day or the other by quacks. When reform is impossible, revolution is certain. It in more than probable, it is almost certain, says the Spectator, that one of the strangest scenes of an age fertile in strange scenes is about to transact itself in Rome. The Spectator is informed on good authority, which cannot on such a point be mistaken, that Renter's unnoticed tele gram of the pith inst. is true, that the Papacy, in its despair, has resolved to use its last resource, to wield once more the weapon which for three hundred years Popes have dreaded to unsheathe, lest it should be turned against themselves, to 'ummon once more the body which even the II tramontanes hold to be greater than the Popes, the mystic depositary of inspiration, the sovereign parliament of the universal church. After remarking on the reluctance which may exist on the part of the Pope and souls of his cardinals to convoke a council, the Spectator proceeds. The Pope may recede, even now, busily as Archbishop Manning works on to his end with the full approval of the Vatican, but if he per sists and the gathering to canonize Arboes be changed into an (Ecumenical council, 1867 will be marked in history by an event greater than Sadowa, nothing less than the pro clamation throughout the world of the descent of a new Avatar. Imagine !it is not only possible but likely that in the nineteenth century the larger section of Chlisten dom may be called on by irresistible authority—for the decree of a council is to Roman catholic' throughout the world irresistible— to believe that the written utterance of a single human being is equivalent in obligation to a reve lation from on high. It seems incredible, but in spite of the denials with which, if the scheme is postponed, we shall be flooded, it is true. Without Mr. Henley the Spectator doubts very much whether Mr. Disraeli could have got through his difficul ties. Here alone was to be found an indisputable tory squire, always opposed to touching the church, or even to opening the universities, apt to get angry about the parochial Poor-law system, and to speak of the agricultural labourer's position as providential, if not provident, —a man with no little weaknesses about the game laws, with no hysterical feeling as to the horrors of hovel-life, with a certain squirearchical kindness, but also the due aquirearchical hardness of nature,—and yet all in favour of the old "historical" borough franchise, and quite willing, when told to "name this child," to answer, in clear, deep, guttural accents, " Household Suffrage," and to renounce the tempting devil of municipal vestries, and all his works in the shape of the small tenements, and other local compounding acts in its name. No wonder Mr. Henley has obtained a great position in relation to this bilL He is at least as much its author as Mr. Disraeli himself. And while Mr. Disraeli's parental anxieties about it have necessarily been selfish, Mr. Henley has held a purely disinterested position as an unretained, voluntary counsellor of the house, with all the influence and honours of that dignified independence.

ISAUGURATION OF THE ALBERT ORPHAN ASYLUM BY HER MAJESTY.-(THIS DAY., THE CEREMONIAL. BAUSHOT HEATH, SATURDAY. The village of Bsgshot, in Surrey, is expected to be a scene of considerable commotion to-day, owing to the festive preparations incidental to the inauguration of the Albert Orphan Asylum by her Majesty the Queen. The Albert Orphan Asylum, named after the late Prince Consort, is situated at Collingwood Court, a beautiful and healthy site upon the Chobham Ridges. The existing build ing is an ornamental Italian edifice, to which it is in• tended to add another wing with dining-hall and chapel, and the laying of the foundation stone of this new edifice was the important portion of the day's procedings. The asylum stands in the midst of about 200 acres of ground, part of which are cultivated. The building commands some lovely views and is ap proached from the Bagshot Road by an avenue of some extent and the entrance to which is adorned by triumphal arches on the present occasion. At present there are 169 boys and girls in the institution The boys are trained in horticultural ►nd field labour, and the girls in domestic work of every kind. The asylum is about six miles from the Sunningdale station of the South Western line, and three from the Blackwater sta tion of the South Eastern Railway. For the accommodation of the 2,000 visitors a large cere. menial marquee was erected at one end of the present building by Mr. White, of London, and furnished with tiers of chairs facing the foundation atone and royal dais. The tent was artistically decorated, and near it was another in which the Messrs. Staples, of the Albion, Alderegate-street, had made preparations for lunching 1,000 guests. A suite of apartments, including reception, dijeuner, and retiring room, were most tastefully fitted up near the ceremonial marquee, by Mr. Seaton, of the Hampstead road, who, to his great credit, did this at his own expense. Her Majesty leaves Windsor Castle shortly after :i o'clock in the afternoon, and drives by road through the park and so on to the asylum, where the Queen snivel about half past 4 o'clock. Her Majesty will be received at the entrance of the ceremonial tent by the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy, Home Secretary ; the light Hon. H. T. L. Corry, First Lord of the Admiralty ; the Earl of Lovelace, Lord Lieutenant of Surrey ; J. More Molyneux, Esq., High Sheriff of Surrey ; and the Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of Winchester, Bishop of the Diocese, the band playing th e " N a ti ona l A n th em ." The Hon. Secretary V. illiam Williams, Esq., will read the following address: " May it please your Majesty,—We, the president, com mittee, and friends of the Albert Orphan Asylum, hail with delight and gratitude your Majesty's condescen sion in favouring us with your presence this day. We humbly desire to express our thankfulness to the Giver of all good, that he has so long preserved your Majesty in health, and so graciously in dined your Majesty in heart to encourage and to counte nance efforts that have for their object the glory of God, the extension of the Saviour's kingdom, and the spiritual and social welfare of the destitute poor in your Majesty's realm ; and we fervently pray, that He to whom all power is given in heaven and on earth, may long vouchsafe to your Majesty His grace to will and His power to continue those acts of Christian effort and benevolence which have so signally benefited your Majesty's subjects, commanded the admiration of surrounding nations, and rendered illustrious your Majesty's reign. The firs t idea of this institution occurred to some here present, who, when sorrowing in common with the rest of the people of this country for the loss of a prince so esteemed as - your Majesty's late beloved and lamented Consort, felt that • suitable and practical memorial of our grief would be the establishment of an Asylum for Destitute Orphan Children, selected from a class in which his royal highness had always taken a great interest—the working men of England; and we have always fostered the hope that, in consideration of the illustrious prince whom this institution is intended to cam memento, and the class whom it is desired to benefit, your Majesty would one day sanction the undertaking, by performing the ceremony we are this day assembled to witness. We tender our humble thanks to your Majesty for having so graciously complied with our request, and for having thus gratified our long-cherished wishes; and we now beg to hand your Majesty a more detailed report of the history and object of the institution." Her Majesty will then lay the foundation stone of the proposed dining hall and chapel, and will declare the insti tution open to receive for all time destitute orphan children, and to be called " The Albert Orphan Asylum." After the reading of prayers and the pronouncing of the benediction by the Bishop of Winchester, the ladies will parr before her Majesty, laying their purses on the founda tion stone, and a list of contributions collected by the stewards rill be banded to the Queen. The ceremony was to conclude with the National An them, sung by the children of the Asylum and assembled company, after which her Majesty will retire. The Earl of Bradford, the Lord Chamberlain, and the Countess of Bradford were honoured by the com pany of the Duchess of Cambridge at dinner last evening at the family mansion in Belgrave-square. The following had the honour of dining with her royal highness Excellency the Austrian Ambassador and the Countess Apponyi, his Exoellency the Marquis of Abercorn, Emily Duchess of Beaufort, the Marquis of Hartington, the Marquis Conyngham, the Earl of Shrewsbury and Lady Gertrude Talbot, the Earl and Countess Spencer, Lord Strathnairri, Lady Beillie Hamilton, Hon. Frances Bridg man, Sir George and Lady Julia Wombwell, Mr. Baillie Cochrane, M.P., and Mrs. Cochrane, Mr. Greville, &c. Covers were laid for 22. Later in the evening the noble countess had a concert, at which a numerous and fashion able company assembled. - - . Lord Kenlie entertained at dinner last evening, at his residence in Grosvenoustreet, his Excellency the Italian Minister, the Marquis of Waterford, the Earl of Gafford, the Earl of Bective, Lord Methuen, the Hon. Spencer Ponsonhy, Mr. Henry Lowther, Colonel Crealock, the Hon. Lionel Ashley, Hon. Major Henniker, and Mr. Francis Lowther. Lady Hoare's ball at Cromwell Houses, South Kensington, took place last night. Nearly 800 persons of distinction thronged the saloons, and the carriages had not discontinued setting down company at half-past 1 o'clock. The Advertiser states that the Premier is suffer ing from severe indisposition. " During the debate raised on Thursday evening by Earl de Grey and Ripon on mili tary administration, Lord Derby was compelled to retire from the House of Peers, and an attack of the old malady now confines him to his chamber. It may be some days before the noble earl is able to resume the active duties of office." The four grand gala carriages of Versailles have been brought to Paris to be placed at the service of the fiultan daring his ate, in the !mach capital, OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) The Times contends that the government were relieved from their obligation to support the Attorney- General's clause, providing for the due demand of rates from all voter*, by the altered view taken of it by the com mittee. Their true fault yesterday consisted in voting for the clause at all. It is absurd to suppose that an engage ment on the part of a minister should override the good of the country, and the agreement to assent to an impolitic proposal was at an end when the opinion of the committee was clearly shown to be opposed to it. The enfranchise ment can be sufficiently secured by the publication of rates on the doors of all places of public assembly. Nobody expects her Majesty's ministers, the Daily News says, to abide by their politial pledges ; but the under standing into which they enter with the House of Commons ought to be scrupulously adhered to. The ministerial adhesion to Mr. Denman's proposition was the very essence of the arrangement. The renunciation of the Irish Reform Dili is another apparently capricious breach of a specific promise. The Telegraph observes that it is scarcely possible to conceive a grosser breach of faith, or • proceeding more subversive of mutual trust between the government and the house, than that which was so flagrantly committed yesterday, with the connivance of some, and the negative assistance of other Ministers. The abuse of trust, how ever, has helped to demonstrate the absurdity of a rating suffrage. No step which the committee can take, not even the adoption of a clause enforcing the delivery of a notice, will, so long as the personal payment of rates is the foundation of the franchise, deprive the parish officials of an undue, and it may be a corrupt, influence over the constituency. The Times protests against placing the Viceroy of Egypt in an ordinary London Hotel, under the pretence of re ceiving him as the guest of the state. After showing the great services rendered us by the Egyptian government in permitting the establishment of the Overland Mail, and in allowing us to transport a number of the reinforce ments at the time of the Indian mutiny acrom the Isthmus, the Times proceed. to say emphatically that every one of ordinary tutu and feeling must perceive that nothing can be more shabby, more unworthy of our guest, and more dishonourable to ourselves than the reception which the government has devised. It i. enough that we have let the Russian Emperor come within a few hours' journey of our shores without asking him to cross the Channel, although the heir to the British Crown was re ceived by him with magnificent hospitality. We have to ask of the government that a second breach of good manners shall not be perpetrated in the case of the Egyp tian ruler. THE WEEKLY PRESS. Discussing the question " What is to be done with the Irish church r the E.eantiaer comes to the con clusion that the endowment of all creeds is wholly un attain►ble. Lord Russell would equalise, by redistribut ing the ecclesiastical funds that now exist. Lord Derby, if he be not greatly belied, is ready to attempt equalisa tion by the creation of new endowments for catholic@ and pre@byterians. The Atomiser is persuaded that which ever alternative he tried, the constituencies of this country will forbid their representatives to assent to either; and that, after long and it may be angry discus sions to no purpose, statesoim will find themselves driven to the one and only resource—that of obliterating the cause of quarrel, and appropriating church property in Ireland without reservation to purposes of general utility. Treating of the proposed council at Rome, the Saturday Review finds it difficult, sinless it should be thought expe dient to make the council declare the inviolability of the Pope's dominions, to anticipate the nature of any other business which can employ the spiritual parliament of the inhabited world. The councils of Basel and Constance had popes to censure or heretics to burr, and the council of Trent, itself serving as a substitute for the free assembly which had long been demanded by nations and by princes, elaborated in the iotere.t of Rome the lax doctrines and practices of the middle ages into a new and elaborate system. The propose t council of Rome has no relipintui dirfrranee to adjust, for bishops, priests, and laity are all agreed on doctrinal questions; sad, except in the matter of infallibility, tie supremacy PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. In thediviaion last night upon the Attorney-Gene ral's clause, providing that every poor rate payable in re spect of premises conferring the parliamentary franchise shall be demanded of the occupier by a requisition or de mand note, and that no rate shall be deemed to be payable until the expiration of seven clear days from the service of such requisition or note, which clause was rejected by 207 to 205, the great body of the conservatives voted iu the majority. In the minority, however, were the following ministers or ministerialista :—Mr. Adderley, CoL Ann coley, Mr. J. B. Bowen, Mr. Corry, Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Du Cane, Admiral Duncombe, Mr. E. Egerton, Lord Claude Hamil ton, Colonel Percy Herbert, Sir F. Heygate, Colonel Hogg, Mr. W. Hughes, Mr. Hunt, Lord H. Lennox, Colonel C. Lindsay, tool John Manners, Lord R. Montagu, Sir C. Mordaunt, Mr. Mowbray, Mr. Noel, Sir S. Northoote, Sir J. Pakington, the Attorney. General, Viscount Royston, Mr. Sclater-Booth, Mr. Abel Smith, and Lord Stanley. The following liberals, however, voted against the clause: Sir A. Agnew, Mr. Akroyd, Mr. A. Base, Mr. M. T. Bass, Sir R. Blennerhassett, Mr. E. P. Bouverle, LordJ. Browne, Sir E. Buller, Mr. F.

The following public notice for the information of masters of private steam and other vessel, in tending to be present at the great naval review off Spit head on the 17th proximo has been issued by Admiral Sir Thomas Pasley, Port Admiral and Naval Commander-in- Chief at Portsmouth : " By oommand of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. " Steamers, sailing vessels, and boats are not to attempt to cross the line of the ships of war to be reviewed on Wednesday, the 17th of July. They are not on any ac count to pass between the columns, nor to occupy any part of the man-of-war channel between Spithead and St. Helens during the evolutions. Steamers are to keep to leeward of the columns, or ships in order of sailing, sa the smoke might prevent signals being quicklynoticed, t causing accidents ; and vessels WS not to pass t o ward of the royal yacht if it can possibly be avoided. As the evolutions of a large number of ships of war require a considerable space, masters of vessels will see the necessity of steering accordingly, and not close in so aa to interrupt the evolutions. The ships of war to be reviewed will burn Welsh coal, in order that the view of the evolutions may not be obstructed by smoke, and to obviate the chances of collision. Captains and masters of steam-vessels intend ing to be present on the occasion are requested to adopt the same or other necessary precautions to avoid incon venience from smoke, and they arc hereby warned that any vessel causing such inconvenience will be liable to be re• moved to a distance.

OXFORD COMMEMORATioN. —ln the list of die tinguisbed persons on whom the honorary degree of D.C.L. was conferred at the Oxforl Commemoration on Wednes day hat. some persona may have missed a name which was intended to he one of its brightest ornaments. It had been proposed in the council of the university that Lord Kings down ahMald be asked to accent the highest honour which the university can bestow. The motion was opposed by Dr. Posey, but, on a division, was carried by a very large maiority. there having been only two dissentients. Dr. Puiey objected to the nomination of Lord Ringsdown on the ground that the judgments for which he had been responsible in the Judicial Committe e o f the Privy Council had given great offence to churchmen ; and he is said to have informed Lord Kingsdown that he should resign his own seat in the council the moment it was publicly announced that a name so obnoxious to himself and some others was to be proposed to convocation. Lord Kings ' down's health is unfortunately so much impaired that he was unable to endure the fatigne of a journey to Oxford, where, in spite of the objections of Dr. Pussy, we are sure that the name of so impartial and eminent a judge and of so ripe a scholar would have been received with acelama, lions by the members of convocation, who will regret that • degree was not conferred by which the university would have received at least as much honour as it bestowed.— Herald.

They in tend spending the autumn at the chateau of Erdman/4mi, in Silesia. Curious anecdotes are in circulation at Rome respecting the Oriental customs of some of the bearded patriarchs now here, and of the pious honor they excite in the mind of the Cardinal Vicar. One venerable old Byzantine is accused of having repaired to the Pincian Gardena, at the rear of the promenade, attended by his Tshibookjee, who spread his master's carpet in a suitable spot on the ground, where the cross•legged patriarch en. joyed the tahibook ►nd the music with Asiatic serenity. Spanish and Portuguese prelates roll their cigarettes in the Café Greco, and French cures visit the seven Basilicas accompanied by demure white-capped bonnet. " But the greatest infraction of etiquette was perpetrated by two patriarchs who met the Pope walking on the Ponta Molle road, and, after prostrating themselves on the ground to receive his Holiness's blessing, suliequently arose and im parted to him their own benediction, to Pio Nono's great amusement, and the surprise and alarm of his noble guards and household prelates. The Chinese Apostolic Vicar, in his audience of the Pope, could not get on in any language possessed by his Holiness, who, addressing the court prelates present, said Quest* povoro pre lato c un gran brutto servo di Dio.' " Richard Wagner has had a serious quarrel with his royal patron and friend, King Ludwig of Bavaria, and has left Munich. A letter from Berlin says :—" For the last three or four weeks, Wagner and the celebrated pianist Hans von Billow had been drilling the company at the opera for a very magnificent representation of Lohengria, and had engaged the services of the somewhat elderly tenor, Tichatschek, of Dresden, for the principal part. The first great dress rehearsal took place on June 10, when the King, as well as all the art-loving world, were present. The audience generally were extremely well satisfied, but net so hie Majesty. The next morning Tichatachek received a delicate communication from the royal critic, that the princip►l part was to be entrusted to another and a younger man, Herr Vogel. Some little ob jection to Tichatschek's costume was alleged as the reason of the King's displeasure. Both the public and Wagner disapproved of this summary dismissal of the great singer, and Wagner left Munich a few days afterwards." An Arab writes to the Timr2 :—" I called on Abdel Kader when he visited England, and was truly sur prised to hear from his own lips, in Arabic, that be could not stay any longer in this country, giting me to under stand that he expected a better treatment than he had met with. I spent two hours in the room of his secretary—a Christian of Damascus—and I shall only repeat one of his remarks, 'Do not,' said he defend this people ; we came to see them, and they allow us to live in • Khan ' Ever since Abdel Kader's visit I never spoke with an Arab who did not complain very bitterly of that reception. Now, England is to be visited by the first Arab Prince, ' Kadiawi Messer,' will the English government allow him to live at the house of hia own agent and at his own expense' Was the Prince of Wake thus treated in Egypt'!" A German named Kancke was arrested at New York en the 12th inst. as be landed from the Bremen steamer America, charged with stealing ,00(.)

After the removal of the cloth, The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Bright) requested the secretary to read two letters, one from the Comte .de Paris, and the other from Mr. Adams, the American minister. Mr. CHENSON (the hon. secretary) then read a letter from Mr. Adams, in which that gentleman expreseed his gratification at being invited to attend, his cordial sympathy with the objects of the gathering, and his re gret at being unable to be present. The following is the letter from the Comte de Paris: " York House, Twickenham, S.W., June 26. " Sir,—Engagements of long standing will prevent me from being present at the breakfast which will be given on Saturday to Mr. Garrison. I regret it extremely, and I hasten to beg you to thank the committee in the Cora tease de Paris's name, as well as my own, for the amiable invitation which you have transmitted to us. I wish at least to avail myself of that opportunity to tell you how much I sympathise with the mark of esteem and respect which you are about to give to the courageous and inde fatigable champion of emancipation. The abolition of slavery is indeed a cause dear to every liberal heart, what ever may be its country ; and as we all belong to an epoch which, besides its faults has also its greatness, we may be proud to see it wipe off this shameful stein in ourcivilisation. The cause of humanity has definitively triumphed, thanks to the energy of a free people. Slavery is henceforth con. deemed by public opinion, oven in the countries where the law allows it still an ephemeral existence. But those who have served this cause can never forget that at a tune when its succor appeared only as an impracticable utopia, it had enlisted already a handful of eloquent defenders, and that prominent amongst them was William Lloyd Garrison. After consecrating his life to a task so difficult at the outset, he has had the happiness to see the accomplishment of the salutary revolution for which he laboured. He has at last been conspicuous, even for his moderation, in the midst of that American people, who formed in the manly school of liberty has shown itself as great in victory as in adver. sity. While we pay deserved homage to those who receive during this life the recompense of their devotion to their principles, it is impossible not to associate with them the memory of those who have been the martyrs of their enure from the name already historical of Lincoln to the last of those who are inscribed on the long and precious lists pub lished in America, and so jostly called • The Roll of Honour.' In receiving a man whose character honours America, I thank you, sir, for having thought of me, and for having counted on my sympathy for all that is great and noble in that country which I have seen in the midst of such a terrible crisis—l remain, sir, yours truly, " LOURS PHILIPPE D'ORLEANA, Comte de Paris. " F. W. Charon, Esq., Hon. Secretary." The GH A I RM AN, who was received with cheers, which wen again and again renewed. addressed the assembly. He said he considered it • signal distinction to be permitted totate• prominent part in the proceedings of the day, which were intended to commemorate one of the greatest of the gr eat triumphs of freedom, and to do honour to the most eminent instrument in the achievement of that triumph. There might be perhaps those who might ask what vas the triumph of which he spoke. To put it briefly, and indeed to put only a part of it, he might say it was a triumph which had had the effect of raising four millions of human beings from the very lowest depth of social and political degradation to that lofty height which men had attained when they possessed au equality of rights in the freest country on the globe. (Loud cheers.) More than that, it was • triumph which pronounced the irreversihle doom of slavery in both count, be and for all time. When he looked at that ball and at that assembly, when be partook of the sympathy which ran from heart to heart at that moment as they welcomed their guest, be could not but contrast Mr. Garrison's pre. sent position with that which, not so far back but many of them could remember it, he bad occupied whilst in his own country. (Hear, bear.) Mr. Bright, after re ferring to Mr. Garrison's imprisonment in America, ad his subsequent career as • journalist, psi 1 an eloquent tribute to the upholders of the anti-slaver: mew in this country, mentioning, especially, tae name of Parr:et II r. tineau. In the eulogy which be bestowed upon Mr. Garrison he included Mr. Wendell Phillips, Mr. Lovejoy, of Illinois, Horace Greeley and others, and concluded a speech remarkable for eloquence, force, and simplicity, by giving as the verdict which the present and future gener.,tions would pass on tame persons the quotation of the .meient poet—" Are they not on Fame's eternal bead-roll worthy to be filed?" The Duke of ARGYLL then moved the presentation of the following address to Mr. Garrison "To WILLIAM LLOYD GA RILI`4OM. ESQ. " Sir,—We heartily welcome you to En, in the name of thousands of Englishmen who have watched with admiring sympathy your labours for the redemption of the negro race from slavery, and for that which is a higher object than the redemption of any Mode rue, the vindication of the universal principles of humanity and justice ; and who, having sympathised with you is the struggle, now rejoice with you iv. the victory. Forty years ago, when you commenced your efforts, slavery appeared to be rapidly advancin; to complete ascendancy in America. Not only was it dominant is the Southern States, but even in the free States it had bowed the constituencies, society, and, in too many instances, even the churches to its will. Commerce, linked to it by interest, lent it her support. A great party, compactly organised and vigorously wielded, placed in ha hands the power of the state. It bestowed political offices and honours, anl was thereby enabled to command the apostate homage of political ambition. Other nations felt the prevalence in your national councils of its inso lent and domineering spirit. There was a moment, most critical in the history of America and of the world. when it seemed as though that continent, with all its resources and all He hops*, was about to become the heritage of the slave power. But providence interposes to prevent the permanent triumph of ,rids It interposes, not visibly or by the thunder bo lt, but by inspiring and au,t.doing high moral effort and heroic lives. You commenced your crusade against slavery in isolati..n. in weak , nese. and in obscurity. The emissaries of ati thority with difficulty found the office of the Line. rotor in a mean room, where its editor w.s aided only by a negro boy, and supported by a few in4gnificant persons (so the officer, termed them) of all , olaiirs. You were denounced, persecuted, and hunted horn by mole of wealthy men alarmed for the interests of the:r class. Yoe were led out by one of these mobs, and saved from their violence and the imminent peril of death almost by miracle. You were not turned from your path of devo tion to your cause, and to the highest interests of your country, by denunciation, persecution, or the fear of death. You have lived to stand victorious rod honoured in the very stronghold of slavery ; to see the Hat of the republic, now truly free, replace the iiag of slavery at Fort Sumter, and to proclaim the doctrines of Or Liberator in the city, end beside the grave of Calhoun.
