The l'atrie of this evening says that although the Schleswig question may have become wearisome to the public, yet the Danes still command the entire sympathy of the French people. The Ironer, replying to the North German Gazette, says :—" We are identified with Europe. Everything which concerns peace and order and the European balance of power must be an object of interest to us. - The same paper also publishes a letter from the Deputies Piccioni and Morin, asking for a subscription in favour of the Danes of Schleswig who are refugees in Denmark. The Prance adds that undoubtedly that letter will find a lively echo in France, where the cause of Detunark is so popular. The Viceroy of Egypt leaves here to-morrow for Dijon, where he will meet the Sultan. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. THE RITUAL QUESTION. Yesterday afternoon a Triry crowded public meeting was held in St. James e-hall, Mr. J. C. CoL QUHOUN in the chair, to protest against the spread of ritualistic practices in the church, and in support of Lord Sbaftesbury's bill. The proceedinp having been opened by prayer, read by the Rev. Canon E. Willmot, . . . was passed, a suit, now in progress, bah been commenced in the Court of Arches, with the view of test ing the legality of same of the most objectionable prac tices of ritualists. Whatever be the result in the first Instance, there can be no doubt that ultimately the case will be carried to the highest court of appeal, and a deci sion obtained on the quests= at Mite which will be at mos final and binding on the practice as well as en the conscience of the clergy. The law, on which high legal authorities deliver conflicting opinions, being thus defined and settled, the main difficulties will be removed, and private judgment could not countervail against the decision of the court. Meanwhile a royal commission has been issued, which has already commenced upon a wide field of inquiry. In the sionstitu tics of that commission you, in common with others who rightly or wrongly have freely expressed their distrust elsewhere, appear to have little confidence. At the same Mme, whatever be the conclusions at which its members nay arrive collectively, good cannot but result from the free ventilation of the subjects under discussion by men of different minds and various phases of thought, acting wedge a sense of the deep responsibility of the duty midgned to them. It would be worse than useless during the actual =of the suit at law on th e one b an d an d the sintul dies of a commission of , inquiry on the other, (PION OUR OWN 001 PARIS, THURSDAY EVIDYING.

That the passing of the Reform Bill in its present shape will be the signal for new excitement and agitation throughout the country ; and these societies pledge themselves not to cease from their efforts until representation shall be fairly based on numbers, wealth, and intelligence. That all legitimate and necessary expenses of elections ought to be paid out of the local rates." PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Jt NC .4F. The King left this morning for Liegnitz.

NEW YORK, Jura 18, ETZKIWG. The Attorney-General Stanberry las delivered an opinion that the Southern military district commanders have no right under the Reconstruction Act to remove civil officers, executive or judicial, or appoint their suc cessors. He says, " Commanders have no right to estab lish military courts to try civil cases. This is con trary to the Civil Rights Bill, which is still in force. Civil officers can only be temporarily I suspended in • case of riot. The military power in 'the South should act as a police force to preserve order and enforcelexisting laws when neglected by local officials ; but commanders have no right to declare a new code of laws, as this assumption of such powers would place them on an equality with Congress." Attorney-General Stan berry then proceeds to repeat his former opinion as to the extent of disfranchisement, declaring that substantially the Reconstruction Act only diefrancluses those rebels who held national, or state, or military, executive, or judicial office, having taken the oath to support the constitution of the United States. It is reported that President Johnson is preparing an order reinstating the Southern officials recently removed, and prohibiting their removal for the future. . . The Cabinet - is said to favour the enforcement of the Reconstruction Act as interpreted by Attorney-General Stanberry. Congress will pro b ably reassemble in July. . . A new jury hasTheen .worn in on the Surratt triaL 'One witness deposed that he saw Surratt conversing with Booth at I•ord's Theatre at Washington previous to the assassination of Presiuent Lincoln.

Arrange ments are consequently in progress for determining the place which may be occupied by British subjects at the said cities and ports for purposes of residence and trade, and due notice will be given as boon as these and other necessary arrangements for the execution of the said treaty in respect to the said cities end po rts shall be ooze pletetl.-11A ItltT PAH/Lll4l, her Britan nia Majesty ESIVVJ Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary m Japan." The Puteie takes upon itself to clear up the doubts which have lately arisen about the time of the Sultan's arrival in Paris. It says that ho will land on Saturday at Toulon, and after official re-' . ceptions there start immediately for Lyons. His next halt will be at Dijon, where he will have en interview with the Viceroy of Egypt, and he will reach Paris in the afternoon of Sunday. I am by no means confident that this programme will be realised, although it is stated that the Sultan will not stop at Marseilles now but reserve his visit to that city for his return. The Courrier de Marseillee, cited by the Constituti.mitel of this morning, says that he will make a public entry into Marseilles on July 1, attended by General Count Palikao, who has been sent by the Emperor to meet him. The telegram stating that the Sultan was too " fatigued" at Messina, to re ceive the authorities there, suggests a serious doubt whether he, an Orientalist so accustomed to his ease that the Divan or sofa is synonymous with his court, will care to stand the rattle, unused as he is to travel, of an express train, " without drawing bit," from Toulon to Paris ; and then, instead of .going at once to bed, sit bolt upright in a gala carriage for the inspection of the public all the way from the Lyons Railway to the Elystce. I greatly incline to think he will excuse himself, and that we shall not see hint at the distribution of prizes ea July 1. It waneeported by the Jourwd do , Barre that the Vicergy of Egypt, offended by cavalier treat meat on the part of the Turkish Ambassador, was going to leave Paris sooner than he had intended, on purpose that he might not meet the Sultan. It is certain, however, that the Sultan has ex pressed a desire, perhaps ono ought to say issued a command, that his vassal should meet him on his way from Toulon to Paris, and according to all current report the desire will be complied with. There was a rehearsal yesterday in the Salle Hers, and this morning in the Palais de l'lndustrie, of Rossini', hymn, which is to be performed at the distribution of raises on July 1. It is not, as has been said, • " Hymn of peace," but a " Hymn to the Emperor." Prince Arthur, now the guest of. Lord Cowley at the British Embaasy, will set out on July 2 for tour in Normandy, accompanied by Major Elphin stone. The Figaro says that 300 fr. and upwards aro offered for places in the Champs Elysees Palace, on Monday, to witness the distribution of prizes. The Bourse was even weaker than the last few days. Rente fell 15c. for cash, and 224 c. for ac count, closing at 69fr. 15c. in each case. Italian fell and Mobilier sfr. THE QUEEN'S DRAWING ROOM.

SOCIRTV FOR THR PROPAGATION OF THE Gosrut. —Yesterday evening there was a festival meeting in con nexion with this society in the 'lave of Westminster abbey. There was a full choral service, the prayers being Admirably intoned by the Rev. S. F. Jones, M.A., in cumbent of tit. Matthew's, Spring-gardens. After the third collect the Hallelujah chorus was sung, and the lUOth Psalm immediately before the sermon, which wee preached by the Very Rev. W. G. Majee, D.D., Dean of Cork. He selected for hie text the 15th chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel, verse 32 :—" Then Jesus ailed his dis ciples unto him, and said. 1 have componeion cm the multi tude." On this he founded an toned appeal on behalf of the society, in aid of which a collection was made. The CHAIRMAX referred to two incidents which had occurred since last he addressed a public meeting: one, the introduction of Lord Shaftesbury's bill, about which, es it would be spoken to by Dr. McNeil; he would not say sword; the other was the appointment of the Ritual Com mission. The composition of that commission was curious, but knowing Mr. Walpole well as an honourable and in.- partial man he was certain it was not Mr. Walpole's com• position. Moreover, he was sure it was not composed by a politician or a statesman. (Hear.) He said it then advisedly, that the commission had been composed under the advice and by the subtle art of an ecclesiastic, and not by a statesman or politician, and that to the church of this country it was ibe most offensive act that this or any other government had committed. The object of Lord Derby in directing the ap pointment of the commission was explained by his lord ship when he said that be was anxious to see those ritualistic practices, which were the revival of what had not for three hundred years been heard of in the church, discontinued. He condemned the appointment of the Bishop off Oxford—the ecclesiastical authority and adviser he alluded to—as • member of the commission, likening it to the appointment of Mr. Bright os a member of • Fenian commission, should such a body be appointed— Mr. Bright being, though nominally an upholder of this law, always one who covered and excused its inf The Bishop of Oxford had in the House of Lords being an extreme man, or that he had any part . the present innovations; but against till,. he (the chaff referred to the bishop's acts—his support of the Bch at Hurstpierpoint and Shoreham, from which countenance of the Bishop of Rochester had been - drawn, his advocacy of protestant sisterhoods, that - crescence of modem filets, and his encouragement of various ritualistic innovation; as confession, the chaste of the elements of the Lord's supper, and discou ragement of the old evangelical practices of the reformed protestant church, and especially his recent charge, in which he insinuated the change of the elements in the Lord's supper, contrary to the doctrine of Hooker, whose disciple he p rofessed himself to be. but who repudiated the idea of the actual presence of the body and blood of Christ in the elements. There was nothing more obi noxious or offensive to the faithful laity than the intro duction of unauthorised practices ; and, reminding that laity of their influence, he called upon them to exercise it as the only means of preserving the blessings of that church of which they were members to the people of this country. Mr. Emnr moved the first resolution :—" That this meeting views with alarm the persevering endeavours of the ritualistic party within the church of England to assi milate her services to those of the church of Rome; and appeal, to the lay members of the church to use the re sources and influences which they may possess to put a stop to all ritualistic practices, which are opposed to the spirit and principles of the Reformation." He observed that theobject of the ritualists was tosubverttheprinciples of the reformed church, and to bring the nation back to Rome. Sir H. Enwasnes seconded the resolution, regretting that on his return from India, where Hindoo superstition and caste were dying out, be found England relapsing into idolatry and Popish superstition--whole congregations worshipping stone images, worshipping wax candles and brass candlesticks, seeking to conciliate the deity with offerings of flowers sad incense, and setting more value on stole end chasuble than on the simple Word of God. Depend upon it a ritualistic could never be a missionary church, and could never war success tufty with idolatry. With ritualism the reformed church of England could not be preserved. (Hear, hear.) It had been said, if the ritualists go out of the church, the church cannot be saved. But if it was • Question of who should go out, who should it be ? (A N ohm : Dr. Piney.) Those who adhered to the Thirty-u' e Articles, or those who denied and repudiated them, although they bad sworn to uphold them ? The people of this country abominated popery, and although it was possible and pro bable that ritualism might drive them into puritanism, it would neverdrive them into popery. (Cheers.) lie advised the laity to depend upon their own influence and exer tions to put a stop to these practices, and not to depend upon the commission or upon convocation, which did not represent the clergy, much less the great body of the members of the established church. The question wallops for every individual, for every pariah vestry, and for every hustings at the forthcoming general election. The resolution wee carried unanimously. Genoa Illittan, in so argume.nhative and eloquent ad dress, in which he pointed out the systematic suppression of certain passages of Scripture, and the bringing promi nently forward others by the Romanists and the ritualists to give • scriptural authority to their practices and idol.. tries, moved the following :—" That this meeting, cor dially approving of the Clerical Vestments Bill introduced by the Right Hun. the Earl of Shaftesbury into the House of Lords, pledges itself to use every means within its power to ensure the success of a measure at once so simple and effective, and resolves that • petition in support of this bill be now signed by the chairman on behalf of this meeting." This was seconded by Mr. T. CHAMBERS, M.P., and carried. On the motion of Dr. Cowan, seconded by Mr. R. BA X- M.P., the following resolution was also carried:— " That the cordial thanks of Old meeting are due and are hereby given to the Hight Hon. the Earl of Shaftesbury for the valuable servicee rendered to the church by the in troduction of the Clerical Vestments Bill." ..... The usual acknowledgments to the chairman concluded the meeting. A numerous deputation from the laity of the three metropolitan deaneries of Southwark, Lambeth, and Streatham, yesterday afternoon waited, by appointment, upon the Bishop of Winchester, at Winchester-home, St. James's-square, to present an address to his lordship on the subject of the ritualistic practices in some of the churches of South London, situated within his lord ship's diocese. The deputation was headed by General Sir Geo. Pollock, Major-General Laurance, Hon. S. R. Curzon, !LP., Mr. W. H. Stone, Colonel lirDougall, Captain M'Douald, Mr. Coder-Sheri ff DeJersey, severalof the county magistracy, and included the churchwardens of St. Mary's, Lambeth ; Trinity Church, ; St. An drew's, Lambeth ; St. Mary, Rotherhithe ; St. Michael's, Stockwell ; Christ Church, Old Kent-road ; St. Paul's, Clapham ; St. George the Martyr, Southwark ; St. Mary Magdalene, Peckham; St. John's, Waterloo-road; Christ Church, Rotherbithe ; St. George'., Camberwell; St. Thomas's, Lambeth ; Nine Elms Church ; Christ Church, Bermondsey ; end many others. The Rev. J. Bowstead, Rural Dean of Southwark, and the Rev. J. Nicholl, Rural Dean of Streatham, were also present. The Rev. J. Ling ham, Rural Dean of Lambeth, was prevented from attend ing by indisposition. Major-General Lets CYCE having briefly introduced the deputation to Dr. Sumner, the address, which it is not armoury to reproduce as must of its points are referred to in his lordship 'a reply, was read by Mr. Frazier, the Hon. Secretary of the Lambeth Church Association. Mr. John. son, the Chairman of the Surrey Quarter Sessions, and others, afterwards made complaints to the right rev. pre late upon the recent and still increasing departures from the simplicity of the forms of worship which had prevailed in the church during the past three centuries,the ritualistic ceremonies of St. Mark's being specially referred to. The Bishop of WINCH VSTEK having stated that he con sidered it to be one of his first obligations to confer with the laity, and receive suggestions from them whenever it was deemed to be necessary, proceeded to deliver a formal answer to the address, in which he said:—lt is with ex treme regret that I feel myself compelled to acknowledge that the introduction of excessive ritual into some of our churches gives but too lunch reason for the expression of opinion contained in your address, and amply justifies the alarm felt by a numerous body of the laity resident in the three deaneries of Southwark, Lambeth, and Streatham. If the practices to which reference is made were purely novel, and indicative of nothing more than an increasing love of ornamentation, there might be grounds for tolerating them, however objectionable they might be in point of taste. But the gravity of the question really consists in the return to forms and modes of worship once rejected in our churches as inconsistent with the principles of our reformed faith. They con fessedly involve doctrine at variance, as we believe, with the plain meaning of our articles and Liturgy, and once, and as it was hoped for ever, solemnly repudiated by the church of which, clergy and laity alike, we are mem bers. On some of those practices you have ani madverted, and, as I think, justly, connecting them with the declaration recently presented to the Archbishop of Canterbury. And you give as your opinion that the time has arrived when prompt measures must be adopted to restrain and correct the grievance which you complain of. But those measures, as it appears, can only be effected through the authority of the courts of law. You refer to the resolution on ritualism passed unani mously at a very numerous meeting of the bishops in the Upper House of Convocation of the Province of Canter bury, and you express your hope that I shall not be con tent with it. That resolution, in addition to pointing out minor evils, set forth the dangers "of favouring errors deliberately rejected by the church of England. ' This was an attempt to guide by the force of opinion, proceed ing from a quarter entitled by position to respect and deference. But where persuasion and remonstrance fail the episcopal bench have no summary mode of action, they can only authoritatively act through the medium of the law ; and you are not ignorant of the uncertainties attend ing the prosecution of intricate and difficult questions, whether of doctrine or of discipline, in the Ecele &radical Courts. Since, however, that resolution to inatTii . 1 so teem. It would be worse than useless during the actual pendency of the suit at law on the one hand and the simul- taneous sation of a commission of inquiry on the other, I to institute further proceedings, to be carried ocipori eosins in an additional prosecution. lam painfully sensible of . the truth of your remark, that the circumstances which • have given nee t o y our address are destroying the confi- .4 dence and exercising a very prejudicial and gmwing ' in- ttuence upon the attachment of the laity to the church. They cause nos diviaiou only, but alienation. They pare- ! lyre, as I have had myself reason to experience to a t 1 ..171.utrarb as th arch • But pendisfeltuftelue of *rigs already in progress, ••• • , I earnestky . deprecate all hasty movements which may increase the difficulties and weaken the hands of those who are labouring to protect the purity of some of the most important articles dour faith. For my own part, I hold no sympathy with an excess of ceremony, which I deem inconsistent with the simplicity of the church of the Reformation, and am pained at the jeopardy in which some of her distinctive doctrines appear to be placed. I cannot see my- way to do more at present than to promive consis- I , tent discouragement, and of my deternii nation e to repress error of doctrinro:xceasive ritualiam by every lawful means in my power i(.Applause.). Mr. Fiixzi tic made sonm.remaras upon the power of his lordship to deal with the curates who officiated in the churches where the objectionable practiees existed. Dr. Sunsuit pained out the anleulties that stood in the 4 i i , way of enforcing this power of removal, and urged that it would be ungenerous, and might be unwise. to Proceed ' against the curate shindy became his office did not test t ( il i wn a Legal ers.ear, ) permanent tenure like that of his incumbent. . 1 The deputation, aft er th an ki ng hi s l or d . thip for his courtesy, then withdrew. _ , •THR OXFORD COMMEMORATION. OXFORD, TtICII.IJAV. The gathering in the Corn Exchange last evening, known as the University ( . oiiiinemoration Ball, quite rivalled the meeting., of the Masonic awl Christ Church bodies, and kept up the reputation of the Oxonians for providing visitors with recreation of an agreeable and first-class character. The attendance was again most numerous, and an addition, fee the ocaision, to M. Jul lien's band of talented slides rendered the musical arrangements moat complete. The St. John's Amateur Theatrical Society brought their labours to a conclusion last evening, having performed The Liar and Ova sinuous at Home in the music-room since Monday. The former, considering the confined apace, has been admirably put upon the stage, the dresses being extremely beautiful. Mr. R. Nolan, as Young Wilding, was the life of the piece; while Mr. Trail!, as the friend and liar rine oud non, was equally amusing. The burlesque as a compoiii• thin was very good, and sparkling w.th admirable puss and bon owls; but the absence of cho ruses and the limited number of characters ren dered it not so brilliant as it might have been. Mr. E. Nolan was, as Clytemnestra, greeted at every turn with deafening applause, and a whistled song by him was rip. tarouslyncored. Between the pieces the band played imue agreeable music. The complete cast of the two pieoes was as fellows :—The Liar.—Sir James Elliot. H. W. Turner ; Old Wilding, C. T. Cruttwell ; Young Wilding, E. Nolan ; Papillon. H. D. Train ; Jobn (Miss Godfiey's servant), G. P. Leach ; William (Young Wilding's servant), H. G. Warman • Miss Orastham, H. W. Paterson ; Miss God frey (a rich old maid), J.

Nathan, of Tichborneateset, supplied all the appurtenances, with the exception of the wigs, which were by Masan Wickens, of London. The " Shooting Stars" also continued their successful career , with a repetition of The Follies of a Night and Ariadae, which were witnessed by a large and appreciative audience. An amusing allusion was made by the r erfornsegs during the evening to the persecution of the Oxford city magis trates, and the summonses which had been served on them for Friday next were exhibited en the stage, and an ap propriate tableau, formed by the aid of thus.: formidable documents. The eases will doubtless prove of great in terest, as on the one hand the magistrates are anxious to show their authority over the university men engaged in the proceedings, while on the other there is the considera tion of the mud amount of money which is spent in the town by these and similar amusements. The law doubt less should be respected in these matters, but when a bench of magistrates have tacitly allowed private theatrical representations top on for years pais, it is very hard that the pieties engaged in them should be fitted, when they had no opportunity of knowing they bad broken the law until they had gone to great expense, and were too late to give the necessary *even days' notice of application for a license. A further perforumme is announced fur this evening, when also the inen.beis of Exeter College will hold their annual ball in the Own Exchange, which will almost complete the festivities of the Commemoration. THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY CONFERENCE.— This conference again met in Paris on Wednesday, Prince Napoleon presiding for the first time. His imperial high ness maned the sitting by expressing the gratification he felt at Leing called upon by the Emperor to take part in the labours, which might do much to develop international relations. He then particularly dwelt upon the import ance of arriving .t a practical result, and showed the necessity of acting in a spirit of conciliation, and of sacrificing, if necessary, exclusive ideas and national pi defences, as that the succtss of such a meat undertaking might not be compromised. The delegates gave their undivided approval to these i.en tduente, and afterwards pissed a resolution respectfully thanking the Emperor for the honour lie hail dune then, in appointing Prince Napoleon president of the conference. A discussion then ensued upon the various questions con nected with the unity, title, and weight of internati , nal money. After three hours' deliberation the confervuce adjourned until to-day (Friday). The Alomiteter of yesterday has an article headed I " The Sultan in Paris," n which Abdul Ariz is highly eulogised fur the reforms he has carried out since his accession to the throne of Turkey. "The Sultan Abdul Avir. (says the Monifenr)errives in Paris preceded by the reputation of a moverign anxious to let his subjects enjoy the advantages of our social state.
