This is the clay appointed for the great cosmopolitan gathering at Port Said, to celebrate the opening of M. do Lcsseps' great work. The harbour is a scene of extraordi nary animation; the forest of masts would do credit to the pool of the Thames, and for variety of flags and of nationali ties represented by the great fleet now in the port, the display is pr•^bably without precedent. About a hundred ships have got into the harbour during a fresh breeze, and have safely taken up their positions inside. This speaks well for the capacity of the harbour, but it must be owned that Port Said lc•oks as if a heavy sea would sweep over and wash it all away. Indeed, the storm which prey ailed yesterday has covered with water the very spot on which the opening ceremony is to be performed; and at this moment hundreds of labourers are at work bringing earth to raise a portion of the ground once more above the water, and also in cutting channels by which part of the unwelcome flood will be returned to the sea. Nothing could better illustrate the peculiar position of the town than the fact which I have just mentioned ; and that a resident popula tion of 10,000 souls should be found in such a place is not the least wonderful part of the series of wonders which the genius or tenacity of M. de Lesseps has accomplished. Soon after eight o'clock this morning the Emperor of Austria entered the harbour. A terrific cannonading from the men-of-war announced the fact ; and the yards of the cosmopolitan fleet were manned with sailors of almost every maritime nation—French, English, Russian, America; Swedish, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, and Greek. The Crown Prince of Sweden bad already arrived, and leiSer digni taries have come pouring in during the day, the can nonading and the manning of yards being repeated, though on a smaller scale. The sinister predictions of failure were not, as you will have perceived, fulfilled. But the possimisti got up all sorts of alarming reports. On the preceding evening, after the ceremony on the shore, it was rumoured that the Latif, which had been sent ahead to take soundings, IIOLBORN. 11 , 0YAL MUSIC HALL, Proprietor —Mr. J. S.

The wretched vessel had stuck fast, owing, as it seems, to her double screw. For a time the most gloomy apprehensions of a blocked way prevailed, and for a time, too, they were justified, for all efforts to get off the Latif failed until a large tug came to the rescue, and all was clear. It was an uncomfortable quarter-of-an-hour for everybody. But it ended happily, the pessimists were confounded, and it was afterwards ascertained that sure skilful piloting would have obviated the risk of disaster. The same remark applies to one or two other slight mis haps which occurred as we moved upwards vessels scraped the side here, and another there; but nothing serious happened. That the result was not owing to the deficiency of water is clearly proved by the fact that the whole fleet advanced when the Latif was got out of the way ; whereas had the water been really too shallow the disaster would have been repeated, for there were larger vessels behind the Khedive's yacht. The event is a lesson in caution, but not a reason for fear.

Piecework has endowed even donkeys, camels, and Arabs with energy, and the sides of the canal swarm with all these creatures engaged in loading or carrying sand to the top of the bank. At nine o'clock we reached Ismailia, and a magnificent sight the town presents, situated as it is in the form of a crescent on the sides of Lake Timsah. It would bo diffi cult to do justice to the events of the day at Ismalia. The Empress landed early, and entered with great spirit into the varied scenes which were presented to her notice. She mounted a camel, and finding some difficulty in keep , . ing her seat, she good humouredly received the necessary instruction in this difficult art, after which she was able to sit with her usual uprightness, and to bow with her usual grace. The Viceroy has invited 3,000 European and 20,000 Arabs of various tribes to asemble here. They are come, and many thou sands more with them, and now present a collection such as, perhaps, has not been assembled during the present generation. Not only the invited guest, but the uninvited visitors find everything provided for him. On landing he is invited to enter newly-erected cafés, take a seat, listen to music, and sip coffee free of any cost. Long wooden buildings have been erected in which eatables and drinkables of all kinds are freely offered to all corners in European costume. The flow of champagne has been as unrestricted as the filling of coffee-cups. To all the public entertainments admission is obtained without any demand for tickets or orders. The native Arabs appear to be delighted to shew their special performances in their own tents to any visitors, and esteem the honour thus conferred upon them as a sufficient reward, for the cheer is courteously offered. The visitor may see all kinds of dances, and even see a snake eaten, if he wishes it, free of cost. The Arab chiefs are mostly proud of their riding and shooting. With wonderful dex terity and swiftness they gallop, turn, fire, receive a loaded pistol from their servant, and fire again. The great wonder of the affair is not, however, in the details, but in the combination. We are in the middle of the desert, a place which a short time ago was abso- ~~. ._ry eir AMSTERDAM INTERNATIONAL EXHIBI TION, 1869.—The GRAND DIPLOMA OF, HONOUR, being the First Prize , and superior to the Gold Medal bas been awarded to LIEBIG COMPANY'S EX TRACT OF MEAT ' • which likewise carried the First Prizes at the Paris and Havre Exhibitions.

New York ........ OBITUARY.—Thomas G. Pratt, ex• Governor of Maryland, died at Baltimore Nov. 9, aged 65 years.—Ben jamin H. Norton, formerly postmaster and newspaper editor at Hartford, Conecticut, has just died at Pictou, Nova Scotia, where he had been Consul since President Taylor appointed him in 1849. He had held the Post office only eight days, when President Jscksoon revoked his commission, and gave the place to Judge Niles.—We observe in the New York Herald an obituary notice of B. Hammott Norton, "who stood very high in the order of Freemasons, and was probably the only American who ever filled the position of Master of an English Lodge."— On the night of the sth inst. Otis Tufts, a wealthy citizen of Boston, the inventor of the elevator now generally in use, dropped dead in that city, of heart disease. At Worcester, Massachusetts, three women ap peared at the polls at the election and claimed the right to vote. A vote was cast in Worcester for a State ticket headed by a woman, Mrs. Anne Shaw Greene, the wife of Col. Greene and daughter of the late Robt. G. Shaw, of Boston. Senator Munroe, of Roxbury, who voted against Woman Suffrage at the last session, was nearly defeated by the vigorous action of women. Mrs. Lane, of Lynn, the head of the woman's branch of the labour reform organization, with two other women, enlisted in Monroe's district in his opponent's behalf, and not only canvassed it intnehand, but distributed Moo at the 1;0110. The Empress of the French arrived this morning, and tie salutes which greeted the Emperor of Austria were renewed with increased vigour. Everybody was awakened at seven o'clock by a terrific roar from the ships' broadsides. The morning has been spent in paying visits, and never did any harbour present a more brilliant appearance than Port Said throughout the day. For the purpose of the opening ceremony a canopy has been erected on the spot, which, as I mentioned yes terday, was covered with water, but has now been raised; and opposite this spacious canopy, are two Temples, one to the left bearing the sign of the Crescent, the other the sign of the Cross. At three o'clock the Empress, the Emperor of Austria, and the Khedive landed, and walked along a timber way, about a third of a mile in length, which gave the whole population an opportunity of seeing the procession and receiving gracious bows from the Empress. On arriving at the mnopy, the party were received by M. de Lesseps. The royal personages took their seats upon the front row of arm chairs, facing towards the sea. The Empress, and the Emperor of Austria occupied the two centre seats ; the Khedive was next to the Imperial lady of France ; the Crown Prince took up his position by Francis Joseph; Prince Oscar of Sweden and the Queen of Holland were next; and Prince Louis of Hesse and Mr. Elliot, as the representative of England, took the two extreme seats. Behind these came other rows of seats, swarming with gizes minores, ambassadors, princes, ladies, and courtiers. The gathering of Englishmen was considerable. Amongst rd. P's. there were present Messrs. Elliot, Edwardes, llourley, Gregory, and Lyttelton. Besides these, Admiral ►nd Lady Milne, Sir F. and Lady Boileau, Colonel and Mrs. Elliot, Mr. Spencer Ponsonby, Mr. Hawkshaw, and ,thers were there. When all were seated, five or six men, who, I suppose, were prophets, appeared in the Temple devoted to the Crescent, and one commenced reading an address, to which no person seemed to give any attention. This occupied ibout ten minutes, and then the service in the Christian Temple commenced. Nearly the whole assembly it once uncovered, and the strains of solemn music broke pleasantly on the ear. After a short Mass, a priest, whose :ommanding aspect arrested the attention of all who saw I.im, came forward to deliver the oration, and, in a voice so loud that no one could fail to hear, and so pleasant that io one could fail to listen, occupied the attention of the cast assembly for twenty minutes. The preacher was Monsignor Bauer, the young chaplain of the French Court. His manner was perfect; of his matter your readers shall fudge for themselves. His oration was as follows : Monsignor, Madame, Sire, I may certainly affirm that this work is not only one of the most solemn of the nine teenth century, but also ono of the greatest inscribed on the annals of history. On this marvellous shore,wherever we turn our gaze, and in view of this cosmopolitan gather 'rig, what subjects for joy in the present, and for the future what glorious hopes ! Behold, then, the termination )f this task, reputed to be impossible ! Behold ;hose ships starting forth to unite the East and the West ! Even as in the chronology of the past is inscribed the memorable date which revealed new world, so in the chronology of the future the 16th ,f November, 1869, will stand forth in ineffaceable charac ters. Thus we have two worlds united in one. The splendid East and the marvellous West draw nigh and salute each other. Hail to the splendid East, where rises at once the light of the sun and that of the intelligence! Hail to thee, also, Oh "West ! who hast fostered this light, and made it the common heritage of all! To-day is the restival of all humanity. This canal, which seemed to us only made for material riches, will be the great road of light, civilisation, and intelligence. This great river will make of two halves one world and one humanity. I see a boundless horizon, where move the highest thoughts and the most glorious destinies of the human race. Manners, language, habits, all will be united in one single family ; no more territorial divisions, no more intellectual separations. Here let me pay my just and sad tribute to those who have died victims of this great work,and who repose to-day in tombs without epitaphs. Their names, though not inscribed in marble, will live eternally in the memories of those who witnessed their struggles and thcir sufferings. But adieu to those mournful reflections, and let us think of the triumph of the moment. Monsignor, the name of your Highness stands first in our grateful recollection. Receive, in the name of all those who have passionately desired this great work—receive by our mouth all their thanks. What you have wisely de signed you h:.ve courageously accomplished; enjoy to-day your glorious success. The East and the West receive you with acclamation. Egypt will owe her splendour to you, Monsignor. Allow the voice of a priest to congratulate you upon the change and progress accomplished in the land of the Pharoahs. The land of all slaves is become, to-day, the land of all liberty. Thanks in the name of Christianity ; in the name of France, and in the name of Europe. Thanks in the name of the human race. Madame—and this is no light affirmation—history will tell all that this marvellous work owes to your cordial sympathies. Here again you heart has beaten in unison with that of France. But there is a man in whom is personified, so to speak, the great work which brings us together on this shore, yesterday so barren, to-day so hospitable. His enthu siastic and generous devotion, his constant labour, his perfect loyalty, his continuous solicitude; in short, every thing that constitutes the powerful originator, have made of him the greatest glory of the nineteenth century. Thus there is one name which, without disparagement, we can associate with that of Christopher Columbus—it is that of Ferdinand Lesseps. (Bravo! bravo! bravo!) But beside the triumph, we must not forget to give a tender recollec tion to those who have perished in the task, and this offend no national susceptibility. All people of the earth have joined in this gigantic work. In it no enemies are conquered other than space, barbarism, and the sand of the desert. Let me be allowed, in conclusion, to salute all the illustrious men who honour and delight us with their presence. Sire, your apostolic Majesty has given to this stupen dous work the testimony of your s ympathy. The Adriatic Sea, which forms one part of your vast empire, has become one water with the Indian Ocean. May the God to whom you have just given testimony by kneeling on the tomb of the Saviour of the world, may that God bless you and the people confided to your care. To end with a thought as great as the occasion, let us, 0! all you whom I call brethren before God, raise our minds oven to the great mass of hurnanity,and higher still, let us raise them to the very Divinity who has permitted man to accomplish this unhoped-for enterprise in the heart of his creation. 0 ! God, to whom we owe all these wonders, grant that this work, which should be so fruitful in material results, may become for all people a work of progress and civilisation, and become a new era i n humanity. Great cheering followed this fine oration, and the passage in which allusion was made to M. de Lesseps was greeted with especial applause. The proceedings here were now ended.. The procession returned as it came. But the fes tivities still continued; rockets and fireworks flew into the air, and the illuminations after sunset made up a splendid spectacle. Novintass 11 Throughout yesterday everybody was anxious to know what position was alloted to them in the procession of ships through the Canal, but it was not until the morning that the orders were issued. At half-past eight the Aigle, with the Empress on board, entered the Canal without a single cheer or gun-fire to mark the event. The Emperor of Austria entered in the same solemn silence, but a cheer was raised as the Prince of Prussia moved on. It was remarkable that the important moment was allowed to. pass almost in silence—a silence which seemed ominous. Other ships followed in rapid succession, and during the day forty steamers passed the obelisk at the mouth of the Canal and steamed towards Ismailia. The predictions of failarawere universal. Everybody expected to be blocked up before and behind, and to have to spend several days in the desert, with the danger of short rations, and other . un.- a --a 4.1,A Menai lutely a barren waste. We now have here fifty largo steamships, a good sized town, a magnificent palace, seven times as many tents as can be seen at Wim bledon, fifty thousand people of all nations and tongues, camels, the largest horses, the fleetest donkeys, and that nothing may be wanting to make Londoners feel at home, we have a shoe-black brigade. All this can be seen at the same moment. As I write, our ship is moored in the centre of the lake, the town surrounds it in the shape of a crescent, and, with the aid of a good glass, I can see all that I have described without moving from a chair. But to realise the scene fully you must be in the midst: the confusion of tongues, the energy, the laziness, the discord, are indis cribable. Like the Chinese, who preferred the tuning of the fiddles to any other part of the performance at the English theatre, so the Arabs regard discord as the per fection of music, and the most incongruous sounds appear to afford the greatest delight. Your readers must pardon the frequent use of superlatives, but I cannot dispense with them in describing the illuminations which take place every night, but which are given this evening on a scale of magnificence which cannot have been equalled in modern times. From six o'clock until long after midnight the whole neighbourhood has been one vast ocean of lamps. The town occupies one side of the lake, and the ships the other, so that the circle of light is com plete, as nearly all the ships are illuminated. On the shore the extent of the illumination is truly wonderful. There are streams of lamps on the ground, making seas of fire, lamps on ropes, lamps on poles, lamps on trees, lamps arranged in devices, lamps on arches triumphal. How they are lighted, and what is more, how they are all kept lighted for eight or ten hours surpasses my comprehension. Afew months ago there was a heap of sand at Ismailia; this evening six thousand people stood upon that heap of sand under a huge palace which gave them ample accommodation for the purposes of a ball. The Morning Post ought to be published here to-morrow, and it would have a subject worthy of its columns. I shall not attempt to say who arrived, or when they arrived; of course everybody arrived, and why should I repeat the names of the Empress, the Emperor, the Khedive, ➢l. de. Lesseps, and other heroes ? Let me say that although six thousand people were there, dancing was possible, and was carried on with great vigour and decorum. There was an unlimited buffet the whole evening; but as only 800 persons could sit down to supper at one time, it is possible that some of the guests retired supperless to bed. Such a thing has happened, however, even in England, and the fact neol not be allowed to detract from the splendid administrative ability which has prevailed over every obstacle, and carried through these stupendous fetes in a manner which commands the admiration of all. NOVFAIBER 19. We have orders to start to-day for the Bitter Lakes, where we expect to lay to for the night, and proceed to Suez to-morrow. An unbounded confidence has taken the place of unlimited mistrust. Perhaps both are unreasonable ; but the fact that over fifty large steamers have traversed forty miles of the canal is a proof that many of the anticipated difficulties are unfounded, and that all the canards which have been so rapidly circu-_ lated during the last few days are untruthful. 'Up to the present moment no serious interruption to the navigation of the canal has taken place, and the experience gained has been on the whole highly favourable to the final sue., cess of the undertaking. [ADVERTISEMENT. I —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Dyspepsia, Jaundice.—These complaints are the result of a disordered liver, whch secretes bile in quality or quantity incapable of digesting food. Digestion requires a free flow of healthy bile, to ensure which Holloway's pills and oint ment have long been famous, far eclipsing every other medicine. Food, irregularity of living, climates, and other causes are constantly throwing the liver into disorder, but that important organ can under all circumstances soon be regulated and healthily adjusted by Holloway's pills and ointment, which act directly upon its vital secretion. The ointment rubbed upon the skin penetrates immediately to the liver, whose blood and nerves it rectifies. One trial ie all that is needed, a cure will soon follow.
