THE SUN. LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1862. We hope Mr. LINDSAY'S or Lord TEMPEST'S motion will be fairly discussed to-morrow night. Every thing admonishes us that it is of the last importance to decide it correctly—the rapidly ceasing employ ment of our Lancashire mills; the meetings of various kinds in the North ; the perplexities of the Poor-law Board ; the appeals to public charity ; the impatience of Sir CHARLES WOOD'S sluggish ness and obstructiveness in the Government of India—all remind us that the next winter will be a serious crisis in the most populous and wealth producing part of our kingdom. And we submit to public consideration that this question—the question of our relation to the Confederate States —has hitherto been discussed on far too narrow grounds. We admit that for a time it was right to abide by the technicalities of international law, and that if the North prohibited our trading with its Southern ports, we were bound to do so. We ought to wait and see whether the insurrection of the South was a revolution, an affair of mob tur bulence, or the union of a vast community for what they regarded as their rights. We were right, therefore, as a matter of humanity, in recognising the temporary position of belligerents as the one we must assign to each ; though even this gave such mortal offence to the proud citizens of the North. But we must equally deny that we are bound to stop at that position just as long as the ambition of the North may see fit to demand. Now that the South has maintained its position for a full year, and seems likely to main tain it for ever, now that it has driven the great army of the North from its capital, with little apparent likelihood of ever losing that capital, now that it has shown itself capable of superhuman exertions and sacrifices to achieve its independence, wa are entitled by the laws of nations to consider whether the Southern Government has not earned its title to recognition. Even on the ground of international law we must think we are now at liberty to deal on the de facto principle with the South. We are met indeed at the threshold, with a kind of augmentum ad Angliam—an appeal to English consistency, against acknowledging a Slavery Re public, one whose cornerstone is slavery. W e heartily wish the argument would hold, as between North and South. We are sorry it will not. The cornerstone of the Union is also slavery. This is distinctly so—for Mr. LINCOLN has twenty times, and in twenty forms, declared that to abolish slavery would destroy all hope of restoring the Union. There is no mistake on this point. The much lauded, but really infamous constitution of the Union, provided that the Union by its Federal powers should uphold slavery, and force back the fugitive to the whipping post of his tyrant. The Union created that abomination of Christian civili zation, the fugitive slave law, and Mr. LINCOLN himself, as an essential condition of the Union, in sided on the maintenance of that law, and has, even since the rebellion, put in force in Washington. Mor es • ver, t he North everywhere depresses, insults, and deprives of civil rights the free negroes ; the mom State of lir • hibit their has just passed r eso l u ti ons t o pro eiltrY within its territories. We cannot allow, ther e f ore holders as a , that t o recognise actual slave- G"_ ra e ment is at all worse than to recognise those wh o e rnment, a n d th ose w h o, are fighting t o i nc l u d e them w ith themselves in one 43°v if they do not enslave th e oo 00, drive him from sOciallhint.ed, and r i e ta lirtio *.4e ti n t rkti Y maltreat him. their doors, or politically and. But the view at which we have eft - that, the N orth o ll U s r technical t heos t o ties w a w n hh d aiet t eh he esre S e o mm u a t sy h , tb t oe he case is one which overri d es tech nicalities. Here we, of course, include Pra nce wi th ourselves. We hold that the question of cott on supply is one of such magnitude that the necessity of millions being saved from starvation, or, what is as bad, being saved from the demoralisation muse- quent on pauperism, requires us to acknowledge that necessity "a higher law than any of the con- ventional arrangem ents termed inter national law. Not only is the independence of the South now a fact, and the Union a fiction, but, were it not so, it is now for us to consider the moral claims of our starving millions in comparison with the demands of the North to prohibit our buying of the South. We maintain that the moral claims of the 4, F uN" EVERY WEEK ONE PENNY. ANTERBU Ry HALL. C The renowned Performers, DEBONNAIRE and A.UGONARD (from Paris), at Ten o'clock.

It comes then to a question of policy. Looking at India, looking at Canada, have we a right to inform Mr. LINCOLN that with or without his consent we shall reopen the cotton trade at the three ports—Charleston, Savannah, and Mobile— not now in possession of the Union ? Of course in forming him that we did so simply to save our workmen from starvation, and that we should take no part in the war, even at those ports, beyond seeing to it that our traders went out and in in safety. In regard to India we see, alas! that our hopes have deceived us. Manchester, hankering after American cotton, and hoping against hope for peace, did not cover India with its agents, to teach the natives, and to buy of them, and her operatives need, now, a speedier help than India can furnish. As we could not get enough cotton from America to supply our wants for years to come, India would still have the fairest opportunity gradually to in crease her supply, But war with America, and danger to Canada, we are told, would be the immediate result ; then, it is added, it would be cheaper for us to support Lancashire in idleness than to fight the North. To that we demur. We maintain that we should give no casus bell to the North; and the South has some claim on us; but our operatives' claim to the cotton the South is willing to sell is of such a nature that we cannot admit the right of the North to prohibit our purchasing it. Then, as to the North declaring war against England, we do not believe it dare do so. In that case our recogni tion of the South must be with an offensive and de fensive alliance ; and the South has pretty well shown that it could furnish the North with military occupation. Again, France would be heartily with us, and the North would be in turn cut off from the world—every Southern port would be opened—the Mississippi would be restored to the States border ing on it, and the Northern ports would be blockaded. We have, however, no fear of war. The North would be but too glad to cover its defeat by the South under the pretext that it could not fight the South, England, and France together. As to trade—the South is now our only hope. The North has out off, with its own hand, the trade of Europe, and professes to exult in the sufferings of Lancashire, and the manufacture of all articles it needs at home. The South, at least, is interested in free-trade; so in fact are the North-Western States, for both want to sell agricultural pro duce dear, and to buy manufactures cheap. We have, then, commercial hold of the entire South, and of half the North itself ; and it will not be easy, therefore probably quite inigossible, to unite th e w h o l e o f th e Northern States, a war with two great European powers. The main consideration is, however— would it be right for England and France to insist on recognising the independence of the South ; or to insist on—what comes practically to the same thing—a perfectly free trade in cotton from Southern ports which are in the hands of the South itself, it being obvious that the South will not ship at ports occupied by Northern troops. If this be right, as we believe it is, then we may safely do it. We shall be justified both by heaven and earth in taking cotton from those willing to part with i rather than see Manchester and Rouen starred to death, or supported by charity. The reconstruction of our Navy—the transfor mation of our hearts-of-oak into iron-plates—a change like this so gigantic and so comprehensive renders the actual condition at this moment of the British iron trade a matter of paramount import ance. There is not a patriotic Englishman amongst us but will turn to the consideration of this great subject, with unaffected interest, whenever, in its regard, there may arise an opportunity of obtain ing anything like reliable information. And here upon the very threshold, as it were, before taking another step in search of this reliable information, the wonderfully welcome fact forces itself upon our recognition that " for the first time in the history of the world" the Supply of Iron Exceeds the Demand ! Strictly speaking, then, the present may be called with truth the Age of Iron. Far more even than the Age of Gold—notwithstanding the affluent outpourings of the precious metal carried across the ocean in shiploads from California, and from British Columbia, and from our Australian possessions. The Nineteenth century is literally in a double sense the Age of Iron. It is so, be cause of the abundant and overflowing supplies of that once rare and costly material. And it is so, moreover, still more, if possible, because of the multiplicity of its means of application or employ ment. Although iron has been more or less in use from the remotest ages, from the days of TUBAL CAIN, downwards, the iron trade as it now is, dates back to a period, comparatively speaking, very recent indeed. The growth of this wonderful branch of industry has only in fact been very lately described in any way worthily. WILLIAM FAIR BAIRN, the greatest authority upon the subject of Iron living, the greatest worker or applier of iron (we might venture to assert without any fear who t ever of contradiction) either living or dead, is the practical philosopher and master engineer whose hand has bat very recently traced the History of Iron, and narrated with befitting accuracy its Pro perties and Processes of Manufacture. Others with him—SCOFFERN, CLAY, OXLAND, TRURAN, AITKIN, PICKETT—had previously recorded the peculiarities as the various useful metals and their alloys, particularising at the same time (1857) their application to the industrial arts. But Mr. FAIRBAIRN it is who has still more recently (1861) penned—it should have been either with the latest improvement in the shape of a steel pen, or with some classic specimen of the iron stylus—the " History of Iron," with the record, as we have said, of its Properties and of its Processes of Man ufacture. Aided by all the lights that have thus been thrown upon the past and present condition of the iron trade, more particularly in our own country —we arrive at the distinct apprecia tion of the wonderful and vitally important fact above alluded to. Namely, that precisely at the very epoch when such a circumstance has be come, so to speak, more than ever desirable, we might say even, in a measure, an imperative neces sity—for the first time in the annals of the earth, the supply of iron exceeds the demand, within the present century ! That although the period has actually arrived when England has been covered over with an iron network of more than 10,000 miles of railway ! A length of iron road recinir g i n itB m ere repair a daily consumption of nearly 500 tons of this now all but übiquitou s spi enously i As a circum s t ance con tion of iroo ati ve of the v as t consump more than ten e have mentioned th ese thZ s miles of iron rail wa y merely to begin viithr- Besides those we have iron machinery construoted and con t 'W e hav ° e ru possible, calculation !cting beyond all di rec tions spanning ou r rivers i ron brid ges i n a ll we bay - a iron houses , sohools, 444 una our estuaries. urci tes per petually in course of tnanufaeture for " home con sumption," as the prospectuses say, and still more frequently; we believe, for "exportation.' We are spinning iron out, as a protective sheathing for the electric core of copper, in countless lengths for telegraphic wires, both submarine and snperterres trial. We have built blocks upon blocxs of iron fire proof warehouses. We have almost all the various appliances of civilised life fabricated in the same Iprotean and magically adaptible metal iron fences, iron railings, iron gutters, iron hurdles, iron pipings, iron pumps, iron window frames, iron shutters, iron doors, iron spoutings, iron mile-posts, (mile-stones becoming rapidly more and more of a misnomer), iron street curbs, iron utensils and imple ments of every conceivable description, domestic and agricultural. That inexhaustible Humourist, the the author of the immortal ballad of " Miss Kil mansegg and her Precious Leg," would have found a still more facil theme for his whimsicalities had he imagined her leg constructed of Iron rather than of Gold. Yet meeting us though it does at every turn in some strange and wondrous metamorphose —iron pours into our possession more rapidly than we can turn it to our use. Even at this crowning epoch in its History, when it is about to replace in the form of iron ships -of - war the old hearts -of - oak fleets that, manned by other hearts of oak in the shape of our gallant tars have won for England the glory of her maritime supremacy. As to the rate of increase of late years in our production of iron, as the " raw material" for all these appliances, enough will have been said when we have mentioned that, whereas in 1840 it was a little less than 1,400,000 tons—and had risen in 1854 to 2,700,000 tons—it absolutely exceeded in 1860 the stupendous aggregate of 4,150,000 tons! This in " pig iron," the rawest of the raw mate rial—in " puddlecl iron," that is iron partially ma nufactured—and in " wrought iron," or iron actu ally finished and ready for employment. A re viewer in the current number of the Edinburgh, in the course of a singularly alai° and instructive paper upon this subject, ingeniously compares these three very different descriptions of iron to render their difference at once perfectly comprehensible even to the uninitiated—the " pig iron" to flour, the " puddled iron" to dough, and " wrought iron" to the perfectCd loaf. A comparison, by the way, all the more art uric' consideration, when we reflect that "the st.‘.l of life," by the processes of digestion, yields to our system the wherewithal requisite for the fabrication and repair of parts of our animal economy as various as bone and muscle, nails and hair, veins and arteries, blood and nerves ! Typical all this of the railroads and telegraphic wires, the houses and the bridges, the implements and the machinery, constantly in course of fabrication from iron by the skill of our artificers. The Edinburgh Review, in the brilliant and instructive article here referred to, condenses within a very brief compass the epitome of the " History of Iron," as related by Mr. FAIR BAIRN, the distinguished engineer. This survey, rapid though it is, extends back to the Homeric age, when, as the writer remarks, iron was so rare that a lump of it no bigger than a man could carry, was deemed a prize not unworthy of being struggled for in the funeral games of PATRO CLUS. The manifest knowledge among the Romans of the art of " increasing the blast and the combustion of the furnaces," is duly recognised as the sequel to the first of those three great inven tions, forming the " landmarks in the history of the iron manufactures." The earliest of these three great inventions, the starting point in those notable annals being, of course the production of pig-iron— say by TUBAL CAIN. DUDLEY'S discovery, imme diately before the date of the Commonwealth, of the art of substituting common coke or coal for charcoal in the smelting furnace being the second ! Finally came the third and crowning discovery—the appli cation of the hot blast in lieu of the cold blast blown into the furnace, thereby wondrously increasing the combustive power obtained in the process of manu facture. This discovery of the hot blast dating back only some three and-thirty-years from the present date—the invention having been patented as re cently as 1829, by Mr. NEILSON of Glasgow, who has the honour of being the inventor. From TUBAL CAIN and DUD DUDLEY, and on to Mr. NEILSON of Glasgow—behold the three great epochs in the rise and development of the grand Cyclopman system of the world's iron manufacture ! A system so marvellously developed by this time that our car riages, our ships, our roads, our houses, our bridges, are all capable of being made with iron—are being made with iron in all directions ! That it were easier to enumerate the things that are not made of iron than those that are ! That our annual make of iron—pig-iron, puddled-iron, wrought-iron— is rapidly advancing here in the United Kingdom alone from an aggregate of from 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 tons! Truly thig more than any pre vious epoch in the world's history is peculiarly and essentially, as we have said, the Age of Iron. One distinguished as such from all others not so much by the universal use to which iron is put, but by that fact over which the lover s o f th e ar t s o f civilization cannot exult sufficiently, that exceptional fact,which we cannot repeat too frequently, that it is the first epoch in which the supply of iron exceeds the demand, extraordinary though that demand is known to be. We entirely concur with Mr. HENLEY in the plain common-sense view which he took of the bill for the prevention of night poaching last night. It will lead either to doubling or trebling the county police, or to their being half killed by poachers_ It is a bill for the open conversion of the police into gentlemen's gamekeepers, and thus preserving sport for these gentlemen, at the cost of the general public. We have said sport, we ought rather to say diversion or amusement. The game preserving W hi ch gives rise to poaching is not for anything so manly as sport, but just enables the effeminate modern fowl-shooter to station himself where the game shall be driven to the muzzle of his gun, to murder them by pop-shots. Were game in the way an d to the e x t en t requi siteworthy of the name, we should h ear but little sport of only poachers. As to rabbits and hares, they have no bu s i ness to exist, except in very limiy ted re numbers,a among ng in a culti va ted dist r i c t, a t a ll . They root crops simple ve rm i n w hi c h destroy much mor e th an they eat; and in fields of Ta young corn, they devour it before it comes into ear• We aro told by a metropolitan journal that game preserving has now become assimilated to keeping poultry. We are sure no sportsman would allow that it is so ; unless, indeed, he were employing such a description in condemnation of the practice of some of his landlord neighbours. We have no objection whatever that that should be done. We should desire nothing better than the abolition of game laws, and the application of the same laws to the preservation of any animals whatever which any person saw fit to keep domestically, as to poultry. If I choose to keep a tame magpie or raven, so that it can be receg • nised as mine, why should I not be protected in the possession of it. We only ask then that these gentlemen poulterers who deal in pheasants, partridges, hares, and rabbits should, to such a reasonable extent. domesticate and protect them, that they should lose the ollarac ter of - wild animals and become private property. While they allow them to roam as wild creatures, it is perfectly certain that the poacher and the thief will never, in the rustic judgment, become conver• tible terms. We can tell the game-preserving landlords that they are doing a very unwise thing for their order in thus turning the police into gamekeepers. In two houses, nearly constituted of landlords, it is easy for them to pass the bill now before them ; but it will not be easy to get rid of the discredit which will long attach to its memory, or to prevent the great change it will produce in the character and position of the rural police. We think Sir G. GREY end Mr. HENLEY deserve the highest credit for their manly resistance, in such a House, to such a measure. They were desirous to prevent the House from yielding to the strongest of temptations, that of legislating for the class to which the members almost all belong. The House has just gained itself some credit by putting an extinguisher on the BUCCLEUCEE job—they will lose it all, if they do not take care, in this darker job of night poaching. We wonder very much how many out of the 3,000,000 inhabitants of this capital will find it possible to swallow Mr. CRAWFORD'S explanation of the motives recently actuating the majority of the Thames Embankment Committee ? The mem ber for the City of London has a word or two to say on his own behalf and on that of his brother committeemen. They had not the faintest idea of gratifying in any way his Grace of BUCCLEUCH. What he decided upon was designed by them en tirely pro bono publico. Just in the same way—was it not ?—to gratify not: his sub serviency, but his spleen, that Mr. PECKSNIFF summarily dismissed Tom PINCH from his house hold because, forsooth ! he (Mr. PECKSNIFF) had a duty to discharge to Society ! The Committee upon the Thames Embankment had a duty to discharge to society in the matter of that embankment, and so—entirely for the general advantage—they pro posed to mar the whole scheme by breaking it short off at the corner of Whitehall-gardens. It was simply a coincidence that, by so doing the privacy of the Duke of BUCCLEUCH'S shrubberies before the river front of Montagu House came to be preserved : or, rather(h2ppily we can say this), was merely proposed to be preserved. As good luck would have it, the House of Commons, in committee, thought diffe v from the Committee. The result being that the amet:dment was amended back again', Mr. CRAWFORD'S letter to-day, striving t o expLiin away that blunder on the part of the m e l anc h o l y little majority of seven tof which the h on . gentle man himself was one), will go dow n , we b e li eve, with not half-a-dozen out of out' 3,000,000 Lon doners. MEXICO, A letter from Mexico, dated June 10, says : The French still remain stationary at Orizaba, and from all I can learn there appears to be little chatlce of an im mediate advance upon the capital. They have been joined by some 5,000 reactionary troops formerly under the com mand of Cobos, Marques, and others. These are beiLg drilled and placed under the command of French officers. Zuloaga, Cobos, and Padre Miranda were shipped off by the last packet ; the country is well rid of such scum. Marques has joined the French, and has since been em ployed in escorting 250 waggons from Vera Cruz to Orizaba, laden with provisions and stores for the army. This would seem to indicate a lengthened stay at OrLaba, and the general opinion seems to be that Lorencez will not attempt any offensive operations until he has received re inforcements from France. Ortega, with the San Luis and Zacatecas contingents, amounting to about 4,000 men, passed through the capital a few days back, with the in tention of joining Zaragoza, who is supposed to be stationed, with the main body of his forces, at San Augustin de Palma, midway between the cities of Puebla and Orizaba. The latter, when all the reinforcements have joined, will be able to muster between 15,000 and 18,000 men. This force once disposed of, the country at all events between Orizaba and Mexico will lie at the mercy of the French; and, as the interior has been drained to get together this force, I doubt much whether any further opposition will be attempted, except such as may result from an ill-organized guerilla warfare, which would be easily put down. The present party have little to hope from the enthusiasm of the nation. Proclamations calling upon the people to arm in defence of their liberty and homes have been tried, but failed of effect; and nothing can better prove the complete apathy of the nation than the fact that not a single volunteer corps has been raised, and that Juarez is left dependent upon the forces originally levied to combat the reactionary party, and which are now recruited solely by forced conscription. The idea, therefore, entertained by portions of the English press that the French had only to show themselves as invaders for the Mexican people to rise en fume is purely absurd. The fact is that the great majority of the nation dread European policy far less than they do American; they are capable, moreover, of discriminating between war declared against the party now ruling in the capital and war declared against the nation generally ; and, although they deprecate in strong terms the course pursued in putting forward Almonte, still they are rather disposed to view the French as friends than as invaders who seek to destroy their nationality. The conduct of Sir C. Wyke and General Prim is much criticised by the French and Spanish residents here. They argue " that the English and Spa nish Commissioners might reasonably disapprove the con duct of M. de Saligrj, and refuse to allow the Spanish forces to take part in any aggressive movement, but that it did not therefore follow that they were warranted in order ing the re-embarkation of those forces, thus leaving the French entirely to their own resources; that before taking such extreme measures they might, at all events, have awaited further instructions from home," Certainly it does appear strange ships should have been placed at the disposal of General Prim, that his troops might be con veyed to Havannah with the least possible delay, and that the very first act of Sir C. Wyke upon his arrival at Puebla should be to sign a treaty with the party against whom our allies had only a few days previously declared war. All these extraordinary circumstances may be easy of explana tion, but to uninitiated here they are utterly incompre hensible. It 15 asserted in well-informed circles that Gene ral Prim was, in the first instance, instructed by O'Doi2lel to back the Frena2 policy, but that when it became known to the Queen of Spain that Archduke Frederick Maxi • milian was likely to be put foi'ward as a candidate for the Mexican Throne she took umbrage, Jpnceiving that a Spa nish prince ought to have been preferrea that other in structions were afterwards sent him, and h e nc e the present comp ' ica lion. Juarez and his party are flow building all their hopes upon the Corwin Treaty, and they have already, by antici pation, disposed of the greater part of 11,000,000 dais thereby secured. Many doubt whether the United States, notwith standing their recent successes, will be willing to involve themselves in Mexican affairs. A few days will solve the mystery. No one believes that the `'Dyke-Doblado Treaty will be ratified by our Government, therefore few trouble their heads about it. Reports are current to-day that Zaragoza is only waiting the arrival at Ortega to at tack the French in Orizaba. The reception his troops met with in the " Barranca Secca" on the 18th of last month will, in my opinion, be sufficient to deter him from such an act of folly. Ido not believe that the Mexicans will ever again meet the French in the field ; they may, perhaps, make a stand behind walls, but even that 1 consider doubtful. It is asserted, with how much truth I know not, that a French foraging party was at tacked by General Negrete at the head o f a large force, but that the latter was completely routed. The ridiculous proclamations put forward by the Govern ment and its Generals to the effect that the French soldiers have come to deposit their decorations at the feet of the Mexican braves, coupled with the report, now generally believed, that several French wounded were bayoneted on the field after the affair of the sth, h ave excited the French only to be washed out by blood. This is much to be regretted. Buitson, a reactionary chief, still holds his ground in the mountain de las Cruces, a few leagues from the city. He levies contributions, robs diligenees, seizes conductas, &c. Only a few days back he attacked and destroyed a small Government force stationed about two leagues from Mexico. In the face of all this we are gravely assured that the pre sent Government are capable of restoring peace and tran quillity throughout the republic, a nd, what is still more astounding, the re are some people' who are fools enough to believe in these assurances. Don Manuel Escandon, the great Mexican capitalist, died on the morning of the 7th. By a decree of the 27th of May, Goods coming from Vera Cruz are t o pay importation, inte rnation, and all other extra duties which would have been recovered in that port if in Possession of the Supreme Governments. Merchants, therefore, wishing to bring up merchandise must pay double duties. Such an enactment is, of course, tantamount to a prohibition.

The Patrie states, on the authority of private correspondence from Warsaw, that three officers of the Russian army, who had been condemned to death by a court-martial, " for having excited and propagated discontent against the Government," were shot on the 28th of June in the fortress of Modlin. Their names were Arnhold, Sliwicki, and Roskowski. The first was a Swede, fiom Finland; the second a Russian ; and the third a Pole. The sentence was not executed in Warsaw, from an apprehension that the soldiers might refuse to carry it into effect, and give a dangerous example of in subordination. The three officers were shot at the foot of the fortress wall ; they died with great courage. Arnhold left a sum of 5,000 roubles to pay his own debts and those of his comrade, Sliwicki; the remainder to be given to the library of his regiment and some charitable institutions. It is stated that the execution has not had the effect anticipated, but has excited a general feeling of indignation, as it was considered that on the trial no crime was proved against them that could legally incur the penalty of death.

The Adrn: - ral reminded the Envoys that it was to an illus trious Frenchman, the Bishop d'Adran, and his cowatriots, that Gia-Laong, the grandfather of the reigning Emperor, owed the conquest of his States when he had been driven from them by an usurper. lie added that the concessions then made by this Prince could not be considered as simple acts of favour, but were the price of eminent services rendered him. SLAUGHTER OF 3,800 SHEEP AT ONE TIME.—It may not be generally known that the "scab" is a disease eminently contagious and destructive of sheep-life, and that it rages with fearful virulence in Victoria. Diseased sheep are, on no consideration, permitted to cross the border into New South Wales ; and if the "scab" be discovered to exist in a flock the drivers are by law compelled to de stroy them to prevent the spreading of a disease so fatal. Some few weeks since a flock of sheep numbering nearly 3,800 were driven across the Murray, with the intentiono taking them to some part of the new country lately m he disease; dis covered in the direction of Cooper's Creek.

His Highness the Viceroy of Egypt, b order to testi y his appreciation of the hospitality he had received during his visit to London, more particu larly to those whose graceful favours he had received, determined to receive them in Oriental style on , board his fine steam yacht yesterday. For several days many persons have been engaged in prepa ra ti ons f or t h e f ete, and as f ar as thein structions of the Viceroy were concerned no expense had been spared to make the entertainment worthy of the giver and also the receivers. Our readers will remember that the Viceroy's steam yacht went to Liverpool to be lengthened, and since may be said to be thoroughly transformed. The well-known firm of George Forrester added 75 feet to her length, and after many additions to the steam machinery, the state saloons were handsomely decorated by papier macho and glass panels paint ed 11 landscapes. The roof of the state saloon, divided into numerous compartments, with a gilt mould ing, has a rich and light aspect. The state saloon, wherein the banquet was served, was carpeted by a rich pile carpet, admirably suited to the orna mental accessories of the room. All the furniture, excepting the chairs of the guests of his Highnes s, was of the finest mahogany, covered with crimson satin brocade, and each of the saloon windows had a richly carved and gilt cornice, hung with curtains, of crimson and white brocade. The very master . piece of elegance and luxury was the Viceroy's bed room, en suite with the saloon. No European potentate could have conceived a more elaborately furnished dormitory. The bedstead framework was richly gilt, and the furniture covered by a beauti fully embroidered brocade. The spacious apart ment was adorned by rich buhi cabinets and chests of drawers of the choicest woods. In the c entre was a table of ebony, bearing a candelabrum of silver. At one end was the toilet table, the look ing-glass being framed in silver gilt. This WO.' riously arranged room was on this occasion exclu sively appropriated to the Royal and distinguished female visitors. Among the alterations made at Woolwich, Messrs Forrester and Co., under the Viceroy's own orders, have added two state rooms on each of the paddle-boxes, which at a late hour were used for smoking. Both rooms are lined with crimson and satin damask, with curtains of light blue figured damask, and blinds of marine blue silk. The after deck was the prominent object of la terest. The path to the state cabin and saloon was covered with scarlet cloth, and all around the deck were terraces of the choicest varieties of flowers. No less than 4,500 plants were supplied by M r . T. Brigden, of King William-street, City, and what were particularly admired, natural grapes, black and white, apples, and figs, in pots, placed at in tervals. The state saloon was beautifully deco rated by the rarest cut flowers. The banquetting table was tastefully arranged, and covers were laid for 50 persons. The ornamental plate was all of a utilitarian description, for although the board was profusely decorated with flowers, there was an air sence of the customary vases. Beyond some exqui sitely.chased and sculptured stands containing bon• bons, and the rare fruits clustered in bouquets, this table was different from anything to be seen at home. On elaborately-worked silver stands,work ing on a pivot,were placed seven descriptions of wines, sherries, hock, claret, sauterne, and linel, port and champagne being also supplied. Next to the wines came a corresponding stand for raspberries, currents, and the most approved fruits of the season. Then came a similar silver stand a nd crystal dishes of pickles, so numerous in variety as to surpass the writer's vocabulary. The only drawback to the Viceroy's princdly entertainment, and one that really is to be regretted, is the want of the bill of fare. We were informed that it was not usual with the Egyptians to supply that edium of information, consequently we are un able to gratify onr readers. Suffice to say the banqnb t was purely in the eastern style, the wines being per.mitted only by the enlarged and liberal views of the Viceroy. The Hon. Charles A. Murray, selected by the Queen to attend Qn the Viceroy, and Mr. Larking, the courteous diplumatic representative of his Royal Highness, were in attendance shortly a fter two o'clock, to superintend the preliminary arrange ments. Just before the company congregated a severe storm passed over Woolwich, and it is feared would mar the fete. The Duke and Duchess of Somerset, Viscount and Viscountess Pal merston ,Earl Granville, Earl and Ccuntess Russell, however, were among the early arrivals. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam' bridge, the Princess Mary, and Prince William of Denmark arrived at ten minutes to five o'clock. Lady Geraldine Somerset and Lady Marian Alford accompanied the Royal party. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess of Mecklen burg Strelitz, attended by Lady Caroline Ou st and Colonel Tyrwhitt, came shortly afterwards. The Viceroy's band, on the arrival of the R o y al family, played the National Anthem. The banquet passed off without the slightest hitch. Gunter's experienced waiters were at a loss at times, owing to the courses being what they considered not a la mode. However, the Royal and other guests seemed thoroughly to appreciate the extra ordinary affair. Nothing Imperial or Royal could surpass the choice fruit or the magnificence of the banquet. Some of the dishes of Sevres china cost 100 guineas each. It is as well to observe that the Viceroy drank only water, that from the Nile, dur— ing the banquet. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg S(relitz, and the Grand Duke of Saxe Weinaur took their departure shortly after nine o'clock. The Duke and Duchess of Somerset, Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, &c., left for London soon afterwards. The Earl and Counteo Russell departed for Richmond Park. All who had the honour to pavtake of the hospi tality of his highness retired highly gratified by the cordiality and magnificence of the entertainment. ARRIVAL OF PRINCE AND PRINCESS LOUIS AT DARMSTADT. On Saturday last, at half past five o'clock in the after.. noon, their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse made their entry into Darmstadt. The Grand Duke, the Prince and Princess Charles William Louis (parents of Prince Louis), the Prince and Princes& Alexander, and other relatives of their Royal Highnesses, had met them previous to reaching Darmstadt, and accom panied them for the remainder of the journey. ao e t on their arrival bypoetical The railway station, as well as the whole town, was hand some)' decorated, decorated, and at the former place a guard of honour of the' st Regiment of Cavalry, w ith their band, were stationed. ..;heir Royal Hi g hnesses w e congratulated n t chief au th or ities of the city and by th e izens,d a pl commander of an hcnorary guard of ci em by a party of young girl s address was handed to .t h Their Royal Highne sse:s, though not unmoved at the warmth of their recep tion, returned their acknowledgments for the cheers wh ich met them o, all sides, and then took carr iage drawn y six horses , and were conveye d to their places in a Prince Charles's Palace a., a w a lk ing pace, pre ceded and followed by thu mounted guard Reis and Wilheimmen Strause, throng-1:i which the pro cession passed, were gaily decorated, rand were lined on e ither side by the guilds and choral societies, the scholars of the town schools, with their flags and banners: ; while be hind them were thousands of people of all classes, many of whom had travelled some distance in order to be present. It was an exceedingly animated sight as their Royal Highnesses passed through the city, amid the joyful ejaculations of the masses of people, the sounds of the welcoming bells, and the fluttering of the thousands of flags and banners waving on all sides. All eyes were naturally turned on the young Princess, beaming with. grace and beauty, of WllOB2 excellent qualities so much had been heard, snd who was now greeted by the inhabitants as their own. Ali " elcorne I" a thousand times repeated greeted her Royal Highness on all sides, and flowers were showered on her in profusion. A kindly look of gratitude from the Royal pair and repeated inclinations of the head testified to the pleasure they felt at their cordial reception. Notwithstanding the rainy weather, thousands of p eo ple continued to remain in front of the Palace, and most heartily did r h v join in the cheers raised from time to tirue durin g th e even i ng. T he w h o l e of the Gran d D uca l fa m, with the Prin ces and Prince sses , a ppeared at the windilyows and graciou s ly acknowledged this demonstration. Their Royal Highnesses travelled from Bingen to Ma- Yellee by railway, and proceeded up the Rhine by steam boat, reaching Darmstadt by train. Throughout the whole journ e y from Bingen they were most heartily greeted at all plac e s where a halt watt made, and an earnest was given of the demonstration awaiting them on reaching their desti nation. c,], i t E,
