Nothing in the history of equestrianism has ever approached the superb riding of the Mdlles. Montero and Salamonsky in their double Pas de Deux with Messrs A. Salamonsky and A.

The interval between the election of a new Presi dent of the United States and his actual accession to office, is somewhat awkward for all parties. He who is still at the White House exercises, indeed, the legal authority, but his power is fast on the wane. It is known that its term is rapidly approaching,. and the busy crowd of eager expectants which ordinarily surround him, begin to turn their attention in ano ther quarter, and pay their homage to the rising sun. This is naturally to be looked for, and no one can justly complain of it as a hardship, but a recent attempt to curtail the authority of the PRESIDENT, during the last few weeks of his term of office, has not succeeded. It has been proposed in Con gress that the Senate should refuse to sanction any appointments made by Mr. JOHNSON, lest they should interfere with General GRANT. The good sense of the members has not, as yet, adopted this inva sion of the ordinary routine. It is said that the movement was started by friends of GRANT, and that he himself has given his sanction to it for fear that the incoming administration should be embarrassed by Mr. JoriNsoN's appointments. General GRANT however, must not expect to be free from the ordi nary drawbacks and discomforts of power. He has Congress in his favour at present, and need not there fore anticipate the same unceremonious treatment of his appointments by the Senate which Mr. JOHN SON has had to encounter, and unless he excites the personal hostility of the dominant party it is impro bable that there will be the same endeavour to cir cumscribe his patronage. This same question of official patronage is of wider interest than it seems. It is one of those points on which Americans cannot fairly claim to be in advance of ourselves. The patronage of a PRESIDENT is con siderable, and as in the States there is not much po litical work done without some strong motive, the division of the vacant offices among the new PRESI DENT'S followers becomes a matter for serious con sideration. Those who have interested themselves in his election have often done so on the pledge of a share in the good things in the gift of the chief ruler of the States, and one who has been long and intimately acquainted with the people has regretted that a President should often be ham pered during all his term of office by the pledges which he has given before securing his election. It is not very likely, under such circumstances, that the best man will always be chosen for the best place, and the confirmation of appointments by the Senate, which is constitutionally necessary, is no doubt intended as a check upon any imprudence on the part of the Pre sident, but, at the same time, it gives rise to inconve - niences. This was shown recently when personal and party feeling prevented the Senate from approving any appointment of ANDREW JOILNSON'S, whether it were good or bad. If recent rumours are to credited, General BANKS must certainly be looked for among the members of General GRANT'S new Cabinet. It seems, from a story current in the New York papers, that GRANT, who in his earlier days was known to be disliked in high quarters, was at one time iu imminent danger of political and 'unitary extinction. It was resolved by the Washington authorities that he should be superse led, and positive orders were sent to General BANKS, then investing Port Iludsen, to take the cernmand of GR kNT's army before Vicksburg. BANKS protested on the ground that the abandon ment of his p)sition would be highly prejudicial to the Federal c tuse, bat a more imperative order was seat, against which BANKS again remonstrated. A direct censure arrived from Washington, when the sudden fall of Vicksburg converte I the unpopular commander into the hero of the hour. The Washing ton authorities were glad enough to keep the secret of their blunder to themselves, and General BANKS thought it prudent to do the same until GRANT'S election to the Presidency, when he has made it known, expecting, no doubt, that the news would have weight with the modern ULYSSES. The much-needed reforms in the commercial legis lation of the States are not as yet progressing very fast. The action of Congress is not hopeful, the Senate having passed the Copper Tariff Bill increas ing the duties on imported copper. The Bill passed the Lower House in December, so that although it has to go back with some amendments, there is little chance of a more enlightened decision being arrived at by the Representatives. Some of its op ponents are clinging to the hope that the PRESIDENT may be prevailed upon to veto it, but the symptoms of progress are thus not very encouraging. There was, however, some plain speaking in the Senate during its passage. Senator FERRY of Connecti cut declared the bill to be not only unjust in itself, but dangerous as a precedent to special legis lation, which he believed to be always unwise, and he reminded the House that they had heard before the alarming cry, that the copper interest would perish without protection, and yet it turned out that the copper production in the Lake Superior region had actually increased. Another Republican Senator said that no interest in the country was satisfied With the existing tariff. The wool interest had been specially protected without any good re sults, and now it was proposed to single out an other interest and to legislate specially for it. This Senator, however, objected to the bill rather on the ground that it was piecemeal legislation than be cause it was protective. It seems curious, notwith standing the treason lately talked in Manchesteritself, to find members of Congress openly declaring them selves in favour of a bill which is to raise the duty on copper 300 per cent. A Republican from Oregon pronounced in favour of protecting all Ame rican interests, and said he was prepared at the earliest possible moment to support a general mea sure, which would prevent excessive itnp ortations. We may suppose that the principle of the bill was very popular in the Smate, for it was passed by a vote of 32 to 11, an-1 it was decide] that it should take effect innuediataly.

The "Hallelujah polling. Chorus " was then magnificently rendered by the choristers, the whole congregation standing. The Dean, Vice-Dean, ' and Archdeacon, who had conducted his Grace and the attendant bishops to the altar, having taken their places in their stalls, the service at once commenced. At the end of the first lesson the Archdeacon—or rather his proxy, ;:be Venerable Benjamin Harrison, Archdeacon of Maid stone, fee the infirmities of age prevented the Venerable James Croft from discharging the duty—leaving his stall, proceeded to conduct the Archbishop, attended by the Dean and Vice-Dean, to the throne, on the south side of time choir, when, his Grace being seated, the Vicar-General presented the mandate of enthronement to the Arch deacon, and requested hini to proceed. The mandate, read by the auditor, was followed by the form of induc tion, by which the proxy of James Croft, Master of Arts, -archdeacon of Canterbury, inducted, installed, and en throned the Most Rev.

The anthem, by Canon Oakley (a former pupil of time Archbishop), was " This is the day the Lord heti' made." Then the Archbishop, attended by bishops repre ecnttmmg the offices of Provincial Dean, Provincial Sub- Dean, Provincial Chancellor, Provincial Precentor and Provincial Chaplain, time Dean and Vice-Dean of the Cathedral and the Archdeacon, was conducted to the ancient marble chair which is placed in the south tra.useet, where the same form of induction. with O Lord, save Thy Servant our Pishop.

And let our cry come unto Thee. rho suffrages ended, the Dean said the following orayer : klmighty God, the giver of all good things, who by Thy Holy Spirit hast appointed divers orders of ministers in Thy Church, mercifully behold Thy servant, Archibald Campbell Tait, who is now admitted to the high office and dignity of Archbishop of this Pro vince, and so replenish him with the truth of Thy doctrine and adorn him with innocency of life, that both by word and deed he may faith fully serve Thee in this office to the glory of Thy name and to the edifying and well-governing of this Church.

Amen. The benediction, pronounced by the Archbishop from the dean's stall, brought the long service to a close. The Proceedings of the enthronement were not, however, over with the ceremony in the choir. There yet remained the installation of his grace in the Chapter House, whither the choristers, lay clerks, minor canons, King's scholars, schoolmasters, auditors, the six preachers, honorary canons, and canons proceeded in a procession, leaving the choir by the north door, and passing through the north aisle and martyrdom, at end of which walked his grace the Archbishop, attended by the archdeacon, dean, and vice dean. Here the Archbishop was placed in the chief seat, and the following affirmation was administered by the Archdeacon :—" My Lord Archbishop,—You declare that you will maintain the rights and liberties of this church, and will observe the approved customs thereof, and, as far as it concerns your Grace, will cause the same to be observed by others as far as such customs are not repug nant to God's Word, the laws, statutes, provisions; and ordinances of the realm, as to her Majesty's prerogative, and not otherwise. The Archbishop having declared the archdeacon, the dean, the canons, the honorary canons, the six preachers, the schoolmasters, the auditor, the minor canons, the grammar master of choristers, the surveyor, the organist, and lay clerks promised canonical obedience to his grace as their diocesan and archbishop. The assembly was then dismissed by the Dean, and an account of the proceedings was afterwards produced and signed in the audit room in the presence of a notary public. The congregation, at the request of the authorities, did not follow the procession from the choir into 'the Chapter House. The congregation was a very large one, and the number of clergy was very marked. Not less than two hundred of them joined in the procession. Four bishops there were—their lordships of London, Oxford, Rochester, and Ely,who,together with Dean Stanley (as proxyfor the Bishop of Winchester) accompanied the Archbishop to the marble chair. Dr. Tait looked exceedingly well in his robes, and seemed to have begun to survive that worn look which over work in the diocese of London had laid upon hint Of course the "mayor and corporation" were present, and shone forth in all the splendour of their "State dress." After the service there was a luncheon in the new library of the Cathedral given by Mrs. Alford, where a large party met the new Archbishop.

BRADLAITGII'S CASE. —Mr. Charles Bradlaugh. writes to the papers :—" Permit me to state that I have this morning searched the registers at Somerset House. The Sporting Times is not registered. Another paper with the same name was once registered ; but this was before the popular journal of Dr. Shorthouse came into existence. I believe Dr. Shorthouse would contend, as I contended at the trial, that his publication does not come under the statutory definition of a newspaper." THE SENIOR WRANGLER.—Some attempts have ocen made to detract from the merit of Mr. Hartog as Senior Wrangler, on the assumption that he is of more advanced age, and therefore of more mature mind, than his competitors. This assumption is founded on the fact that Mr. Hartog had taken a degree at the London University before proceeding to Cambridge. It appears, however, that Mr. Hartog was matriculated at the University of London in July 1862, being then 16 years old, and that, having obtained the highest honours attain able in that university, he entered himself at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1865. In that university, having passed through the usual course, he presented himself for examination in the Mathematical Tripos in January 1869, and came out Senior Wrangler at 22 years of age. A much more serious question for Mr. Haan is the fact that by the existing regulations at Trinity College he is debarred from being elected a Fellow, and that his Senior Wranglership is likely to be a barren honour so far as college preferments arc concerned.

For the same object donations have been received to the extent of 24,300 more. For the relief of poor members k." 770 were contributed at the communion table ; and a sum of £6,600 expended for the erection of almshouses for the aged, For Sunday and ragged schools, tract and other societies, col lections made produced nearly £l,OOO ; and a sum of ELM was lent to other churches for the erection of chapels in which to worship.
