I'uci DAY.— Mornimr, 41). Onl.—Afternoon, 4h. 9 0m. I'.)-MoE.ww.-11.orDiug, 41i. 40tu.—Aftertioon, 4i. 57m, .At jJljt Si flit LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1867, Lord GREY'S amendment, which has now ap peared, is not, on the whole, so bad as it might have been, and it is so ingeniously worded that it may be made to signify a great deal or a very little. At any rate it is before the world, and people can make up their minds about it, and decide upon the course which they will pursue. We have no doubt that the noble lord is perfectly sincere in the course which he is taking, and fully believes that the requirements of the case call for the protest of the Howie, but at the same time we think he is mistaken in the matter, and has arrived at a very erroneous decision. At the pre sent time it is not only of consequence for the House of Lords to pass a Reform Bill, but it is essential that it should be done with a good grace. If this amendment be carried it will spoil the effect of the thing, for it contains rather a sweeping cen sure of the measure which has been sent up unani mously by the Commons. A collision between the two houses is most earnestly to be deprecated, but it would be a worse result to offend the public, and the popularity which the bill has already gained will make it. The expression used in this amend ment, that the bill to which the House is resolved to assent, does not appear calculated in its present shape to effect a permanent settlement of this im portant question, or to promote the future good government of the country, is a virtual reproach to the House of Commons for having performed the task intrusted to them so very inefficiently, and for having urged upon the House of Lords the accept ance of a measure which is not calculated to secure the desired objects and promote the interests now at stake. The latter part of the amendment seems to be trying to do away with the impression created by the earlier portion of it, and seeks to se it down easily, as it were, by stating that there will be no opposition to the second reading, because the House recognises the urgent necessity for - the pass ing of a bill to amend the existing system of repre sentation. If this be true, it contradicts the asser- tion that goes before, and the sort of intimation held out that the bill cannot pass in its present shape. It is idle to lay down rules that are at war with each other, and quite un suitable to the emergency before the House. The truth is that Earl GREY has some crochets of his own, and feels indignant at the thought of Re form being settled to last his time without realising any of his visions, or giving to his plans a local habitation and a name. Many may have the same sort of feeling with more self-command, and rank the general interest as of more consequence than their own particular and individual satisfaction. The most noble ambition in such a case will be to aim at speedily arriving at a result which will satisfy the country without flying too high at unobtainable excellence or imaginary altitudes. Yesterday a meeting of Lord DERBY'S supporters was held at the official residence of the noble lord in Downing-street, in accordance with the circular issued on Tuesday. Lord DERBY stated that it was desirable to pass the Reform Bill as speedily as pos sible through the House of Lords, for it had given great anxiety to Her MAJESTY'S Government dur ing its progress in the House of Commons, and it was also very much to be wished that as few alterations as possible should be made in it. At present, he added, he did not know the" precise nature" of all the amend ments which were contemplated, but he believed that some of them would entirely " invalidate" the bill, and to these he should offer a decided .opposi tion. The remarks of the noble lord will be con sidered most appropriate by those who understand the question in all its bearings. It is most desirable that a speedy assent, and, if possible, an unanimous one, should be given by the House of Lords to this measure, so significant and so long called for by the intelligence of the community. It is satisfactory to note that their lordships separated with the un derstanding that " every effort" should be used to carry the bill as soon as possible, and with as few alterations as possible. Forewarned is forearmed, as we all know, and hence it is encouraging to find that the friends and supporters of the Government are on the look out, and seem resolvel to do their best in the matter. It will take many by surprise if there is another fight to be got through in the Lords, after the many struggles that have been waged in the Commons; but, if it must be so, the friends of Reform must do their utmost, and their efforts may be stimulated and their energies re doubled by the remembrance of the many successes which they have already had in the hazardous pursuit of their task. It would be, indeed, vexa tious if the work of the Session were frustrated through the waste of time and the collision of interests induced by too long an inquiry into the particulars of the question, and a revival of some of the most disputed points connected with it ; but we hope and expect better things from the sense and patriotism of the majority of the House of Lords. Yesterday was one of the most eventful days since the arrival of those visitors d'outre mer who have kept our sober capital in one continued whirl of excitement during the last ten days. During the afternoon all the north-west of London was full of eager anticipation on account of the pro posed visit of the Belgians to Holly Lodge, High gate, and the road from Albany-street to Highgate hill was lined with crowds of spectators long before the appointed hour. Every available window showed rows of lookers-on, while Belgian, French, and English flags floated gaily in all directions, transforming the quiet suburban route into quite a festive spectacle. The Belgians, when they came, were cordially welcomed, and marched up to their destination amid loud cheers. Both they and the populace were, however, doomed to a slight disappointment, for it had been rumoured that the Prince of WALES was to honour the fete with his presence, and the Belgians were accordingly kept waiting in the grounds for a considerable time, while the rows of lookers-on up the highway kept their places, and watched patiently for the coming of the expected Prince, who, after all, never came. As the fete was entirely independent of his visit, there was no real ground of complaint, and the Belgians soon forgot the tedium of waiting in the lavish hospitality of Miss BURDETT CoUTTS, while the sightseers had plenty to do in looking out for their return. The entertainments of the day were not then over, so far as the Belgians were con cerned, for they had two sources of amusement open for the evening. At the Agricultural Hall there was a really excellent concert, and the enterprising proprietor of Cremorne had thrown open his gardens for their reception. Despite the fatigues of the day this was the most popular of the two. At any rate our Volunteer guests will have no reason to variety complain of any lack of in the entertain ments provided. The day's programme for the SULTAN was a very brilliant one, including a banquet at Gloucetcr Houze, and the magnificent ball at the Indian Office. The latter was one of the most successful affairs of the kind ever attempted in this country, and Sir STRAFFono NOIITIICOTE, whose abilities as a man of business are well known, last night came out in a new character, and proved himself to be a most accomplished master of the ceremonies. The entertainment was given by the Secretary of State for India and his colleagues to the head of the Mahometans, of whom the population of India is so largely composed ; and, as it was a national State reception, so it was carried out in a truly national spirit, and was worthy of au entertainment offered by a gre ►t people to a distinguished guest. Many of our most elaborately prepared fetes have lately been marred by the weather—i-since the review at Spithead, the recep tion at Wimbledon, and even the ordinary proces sions of our guests to and from the places of amusement, or the scenes of hospitable reception, have all depended, more or less, on the weather, which seems to have been resolved from first to last to preserve its traditional cha racter in the eyes of foreigners. The State Ball was, happily, independent of the vagaries of ST. SWIM'S, and, consequently, he was unusually mer ciful, and allowed the sightseers in the streets to pursue their avocations unmolested. Within the India Office itself the spectacle was a marvellous one, and proved that amongst other tokens of national progress must be ranked the great advance made in the capacity of the English for decorative entertainment. It was a happy thought to select the new India office for the occasion, being at the same time a most appropriate site for the reception, and a worthy inauguration of the new State offices. With all our largo buildings there are not many rooms in London which would have answered the purpose ; and though the suite of State rooms in St. James's Palace were at first thought of. No sooner was the inner courtyard of the new India- office thought of than its advantages were at once appreciated. The tempo rary conversion of the court into a ball-room gave ample accommodation to the guests ; and although it involved a vast amount of labour in a short time. No one who was present last evening would have realised the fact from the spectacle. All was as if it had been originally designed as a scene of Oriental splendour and fairy-like enchantment, and the Genii of the wonderful lamp themselves could scarcely hive fulfilled their tasks with more rapidity and more success. The SULTAN himself appeared to be much gratified at the beauty of the scene, and watched the dancers with evident pleasure. lie arrived late, owing to the banquet at Gloucester House, but he remained until an hour little consonant with oriental_ customs. The rooms were thronged with visitors, whose most brilliant and varied costumes enhanced the effect of the scene, which was one not often to be witnessed in grave and sober London. At all events, whatever the dis appointments occasioned by our traditionally vari able skies, our guests must acknowledge that we have spared neither expense nor exertion in their entertainment, and it is to be hoped they will over look the inclemency of the climate in consideration of the unvarying kindliness and hospitality of the people. CORRESPONDENCE FROAI PARIS. --~ - (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. There is nothing of importance in the illoniteur to-day. It is filled with a very long discussion in the Senate yesterday, relative to the law for the abolition of imprisonment for debt. Two proposi tions were made. The Commission proposed that the law should not be subjected to a second delibe ration. On the other baud it was moved that the law should be sent back for the consideration of the Legislative Body. The result was that thc... Senate decided that the law should not be again considered by the latter Chamber. According to the votes on the second proposition the Senate does not oppose the promulgation of the law. The King and Queen of Portugal have arrived at Bruzsels, and will leave that city to-morrow (Satur- day) for Paris. There have been so many reports respecting the intention of Queen Victoria to visit Paris that it is difficult to place credence in them. The Paine, which ii often officially infortne 1, says that her Majesty is not coining to Paris. The Empress has accepted an invitation of the Queen to pay a private visit to Windsor, and that the Empress will leave for that purpose on Sunday or Monday. The Empress will only stay two days in England, and will return to Paris by the way of Cherbourg.' This news is confirmed by the Constitutionnel of this morning. It is stated that Berczowski does not intend to appeal against his sentence. One would think not. lie has escaped very well from the consequences of his odious crime. The Siecle says :—" We have often had occasion to publish proofs of the oppression practised by the Prusians upon the people annexed to Prussia, and of the resistance with which they meet. A letter has been sent from Cassel to the National Gazette of Berlin which describes the indignation excited there by the violent application of the Prussian laws and the arbitrary acts of the agents of M. Bismark. The Prussian Government em braces every opportunity of expressing its sympathy with the Russian Government. Either the confe deration of Northern Germany will be only a name or it ought to have sufficient vitality and strength to control the despotic and anti-liberal acts of a Power which appears only to have assumed the direction of federal affairs for the purposes of personal ambition." A funeral mass has been celebrated at Trieste to the memory of the Emperor Maximilian. The Queen of the Belgians was present. The court of the Empress Charlotte was represented by Count de Bombelles and the Prefect Radonetz. The Vienna Gazette officially denies the existence of a pretended despatch from Bavondo Werther, published by some of the French papers. It also contradicts a report prevalent at Vienna that the Archduchess Sophia had lost her senses. The venerable ex-King of Bavaria, Louis the First, is, as 1 have said, a very early riser. About six o'clock every morning he takes a walk about Paris. His dress is a paletot and grey pantaloons, and he wears a very large brimmed hat. His ap pearance is that of a respectable, rich old gentle man. lle is fond of theatres, and has been several times present. On one occasion he went to see the dancing at the Jardin Mabille. A house is about to be pulled down for the for mation of the boulevard Arago, which was built under very remarkable circumstances. The pro prietor of it, M. Perrot, was his own architect, his own carpenter, his own stonemason, and his own bricklayer. It was begun in 1844, and finished in 13 years. Over the door is the following inscrip tion—" Labor improbus omnia viurit. I built this house alone, without the aid of any one, although never brought up to the trade of builder. August 25, 1857. PERROT." The house is not a small one, but is six storeys high. It is situated No. 14, Rue Constantine at Plaisauce. This labour affords an illustration of the idea of the sceptic philosopher who said, " When you have not a penny to pay your rent, you . must get a house of your own." The works now in operation for the demolition of the ancient convent of Ave Maria have led to some interesting arcl.asological discoveries. Enclosed in a leaden box the heart of King Antony of Por tugal has been found. This Antony, the natural child of the second son of King Emmanuel, was a pretender to the throne, and supported by. Philip the Second of Spain, was cro wned at Lisbon in 1580. Driven from his kingdom shortly afterwards, he went to England, and from thence to France, where Henry the Third fitted out a fleet to support his pretensions, and gave the Portuguese Prince the command of it. But Don Antonio having been attacked at sea by the Marquis de Santa Cruz escaped in the midst of the action, and re turned to Paris, where lie died in 1595. his body was taken to the Cordeliers and his heart to the Ave Marie. It is intended to build a handsome new market upon the site of this celebrated Convent. The Presse of last night had an alarmist article upon the subject of Italy. It says :—" From private and sure information from Florence we fear that very grave events will arise shortly. M. Rattazzi did not comprehend the consequence of the course he adopted in seve:ing the ties which still bound him to tho moderate party, and in throwing himself into THE SUN. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1867. the arms of the Revolutionary Left. His alliance with M. Crispi has na other object in his eyes than to obtain consent to the law relative to ecclesiastical property, and he thought he should have the power to make all sorts of concessions to the most radical enemies of the Holy S2e. Forgetting that he was Minister when Garibaldi was wounded and ar rested at Aspromonte, he did not think that his name could only excite hatred and rancour among his new allies. The latter have displayed extreme skill. They allowed M. Rattazzi to make advances to them, and to compromise himself deeply. The situation has now changed, however, and every one appears in his true character, the dupe and the duped. According to our information, the late sit tings of the Parliament were characterised by ex traordinary violence. The Conservative minority united themselves into one link, and made a striking effort in favour of ideas of conciliation and compro mise. The whole of the Left assumed an audacious attitude towaids the clergy, and said that the Roman Question must be settled. This situation, a lroitly brought about by the Left has enabled Garibaldi to conic upon the scene. lie went last Sunday to Pistoria, where, gathering a considerable crowd about him he indulged in the most odious declamations against Pius the Ninth, declaring that the moment was come to take action against the old man, the tool of the priests. In consequence we must expect that M. Crispi will soon be Minister. Garibaldi will have friends in his camp, and in the presence of these dangers the friends of Italian Royalty will not appears to be impossible, even e CC: en Li b e y to a a c d o o u p p t. d,ei S a i t tf ., e , ty The weather is more like the time of the equinox than that of genial July. The storm of wind and rain last night was really terrific. At eleven this morning the rain fell with an abundance and vio lence seldom witnessed, and there has been rain fre quently during the day, accompanied by strong wind. The barometer still indicates unsettled weather. As to the temperature, it varies conside rably between morning and evening. The time allowed to summer is passing away, but in Paris we have hardly had one real summer day this year. The Moniteur of this evening states that the Italian Chamber of Deputies has agreed by 298 votes against 30, to the first article of the project of law relative to the liquidation of ecclesiastical patrimony. Two members abstainel from voting.

THE REFORM BILL 1N THE ROUSE OF LORDS. THE AMENDMENT TO BE MOVED BY EARL GREY. The following is the res elution which Earl Grey intends to move as an amendment on the motion for the second reading of the Representation of the People Bill in the House of Lords : "That the bill to amend the laws relating to the repre sentation of the people in England and Wales, to which it is asked to assent, does not appear to this li , mse to be calculated in its present shape to effect a permanent settle ment of this important question, or to promote the future good government o f th e country ; b ut t h e h ouse recognis ing the urgent nece ss it y f or the passlig of a bill to amend the existing system o f representat i on, w ill not refuse to give a second readin g t o that wh i c h has been brought to it from the House of Commons, in the hope that in its stages it may be found possible to correct some of its faults, and to render it better fitted to accomplish the proper ob jects of such a measure." Meeting of Conservative Peers• Yesterday afternoon a great meeting of members of the (louse of Lords took place, on the invitation of the Earl of Derby, at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing-street, for the purpose of con..iderin,g with him the present aspect of the Bill for the Representation of the People, which has been sent to their lordships from the House of Connnow. A considerable number of persona asiernbled to witness their lordships' arrival. The Earl of DErtnv received them iu the large room upstairs, and thanked them for their attend ance. He said it was highly desirable that the Re form Bill, which had been carefully considered by the House of Commons, and which had given much anxiety to her Majesty's Government during its progress in the Lower House, should be passed as speedily as possible through the House of Lords, and that it should be subjected to as few altera tions as possible, the discussion of which would necessarily prolong the session to an inconvenient period. He said he was not yet aware of the pre cise nature of all the amendments which were to be proposed, but to some of those which were to be placed on the paper, he should give his decided opposition. Some of the amendments which, he understood, were to be proposed, would entirely invalidate the bill, and open the path for a renewed discussion of the whole subject in an o th er session of Parliament. The bill as it at present stood would, he trusted, prove a satisfactory settle ment of the question for a long time to come. A long discussion ensued, in the course of which a strong impression seemed to prevail that the lodger franchise, as settled by the House of Commons Bill, should be adhered to in its integrity, but that at some future time there might be some better plan adopted for the redistribution of seats. Their lordships separated, with th e f u ll under standing that every effort should be made to carry through the bill as speedily as possible, and with as few alterations as possible. There were about 100 peers present. THE WIMBLEDON MEETING. Yesterday was the wind-up of the Wimbledon meeting, so far as regards shooting, which to-day finally closes with a grand review, at which his Majesty the Sultan will be present. Association The fi rs t was f or a gave £5O for ru nn ing prizes This iyne yeartwo the competitions. single competitor, during the five minutes, firing twice at a target 120 yards off, and between each pairs of shots running a distance of 100 yards, loading when he likes, but not coming to the firing point. The second series was precisely the same, but was for two men working in file —a front and rear rank man. This competition was not very much pa tronised; for during the first week men were too busy with their other this week the weather has been so bad as to make running in the mud as unpleasant as it was im practicable. Yesterd ay, however, the groun d h a d dried sufficiently to engagements, and during enable two Scots to eclipse anything that had been done before, and to carry off the prize.

Yesterday evening his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, with his chief Alinisters and the most dis tinguished members of his suite, was entertained at the new India-offices, with a splendour and mag nificence which quite threw into the shade all similar entertainments in London for many years past. After so many disappointments it is some comfort to be able to state that the great Ball, or, more pro perly speaking, the State reception of the Sultan last evening at the India-office, was perfectly suc cessful, and regal in its appointments and splendour from first to last. It would be difficult to overpraise all the arrangements for this superb entertainment, and almost equally difficult would it be to convey to the general reader a fair idea of the difficulties to be overcome before a fete so suddenly resolved on could be carried to perfection in a building which is nut only empty, but will for months to come be incomplete. A special room was set apart for the reception of the illustrious visitors. This overlooked the Park, and was so draped and fitted with mirrors and gilding as to make a most elegant little saloon. Its glories, however, were as nothing compared with those of the chamber specially set apart for the Sultan's reception and the Sultan's supper. This was the India Council Room, one of the most beautifully decorated of all the fine apartments in the new offices. Except its superbly carved mantel-piece, in itself a perfect monu ment and work of art, very little was seen of its other decorations yesterday evening. All parts of its walls were covered with rich draperies grace fully festooned, and all the treasures of Windsor and Buckingham Palace had been ransacked to lend additional splendour to its adornment. At the upper end, under which his Imperial Majesty was to sit at supper, was a trophy of massive golden plate. There were shields, and cups, and salvers, as largo as any shield, the rarest and most antique specimens of workmanship of their kind, one or two being from the hand of that great master Benvenuto Cel lini, and others dating as far back for their origin as the days of Queen Elizabeth. Mixed with these, so as to form a background to their brilliancy, were the time-honoured regimental standard s o f many regiments, all covered with glorious names of tomes achieved, some dim and dusty-looking in their faded glories, and others mere tatters of discoloured silk hanging to the poles. Conspicuous at the base of this great trophy of artistic wealth and historic honours was a hugh tiger's head and shoulders, about four times the natural size, in gold. It was beautifully chased so as to resemble the markings of the beast's skin, and the widespread open jaws of the monster were filled with teeth of rock crystal. This was a trophy from the treasure-house of Tippoo Sultan.

The prices of wheaten broad in the metropolis are from 9id to 101.; of household ditto, 7d. to 9d. per 41bs loaf. In artistic worth this regal trophy was incom parable, though in actual money value the golden plate which covered the Sultan's supper table w, - )uld have been a ransom for a King. All that the Royal Palace could spare of their most costly table deco rations for State occasions were displayed last night. There were gold epergnes, gold flo wer vases, gold centre pieces, gold ice pails, gold knives and forks, gold salts, and gold bouquet holders. Everything on the table was of gold, and although .all were of similar patterns, some pieces were of au antiquity that dated from a time when the Sultans were, if not the fi rs t, at least the most dreaded Power' in Europe, and when every Sovereign, save that of England, sued for their friendship and trembled at their wrath. Some idea of the value and extent of the plate thus placed at the service of the Imperial guest and those who accompanied him may be judged from the fact that there were no less than nine dozen soup plates and 16 dozen supper plates allotted for the use of the Imperial party. Such were the most prominent features of the preparations made to receive his Majesty, but, as we have said already, no amount of mere descrip tion would do justice to the splendour of their effect when seen as they were last night. Amid all the glow of thousands of lights shed upon the brilliancy of State uniforms and Court dresses, the spectacle of the Imperial reception was really one of grandeur. The principal guests began to arrive, with praise worthy punctuality, at half-past 9 o'clock ; but before this time the upper corridor and galleries were well filled with visitors. The Lord Chancellor and Lady Chelmsford and Mr. Disraeli and Mrs. Disraeli were among the first to take their places on the dais, which was gradually occupied by a brilliant throng of the Great Officers of State, Am bassadors, and Ministers from foreign Courts. Be fore this time the lower corridor, from which the procession up the hall could be seen to great advan tage, was crowded with ladies and their escort, nearly all the gentlemen being in Court dress or uniform. It was nearly 11 o'clock when His Ma jesty arrived. Ile was met at the Park entrance by Sir Stafford Northcote, the Minister for India, Sir James Fergusson, the Under-Secretary of State, and the members of the India Council, and was ushered to the Reception-room, where the Prince of Wales, Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, and other members of the Royal party were present to meet him. After a short interval a procession was formed, and pro ceeded through an open space roped off in the centre of the hall to the dais and chairs of State which were arranged there. The Sultan led her Royal Highness the Princess Alice, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cambridge; and after them came Prince Louis of Hesse, the Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburg Strelitz, the Duke and Duchess of Aosta, Prince Teck and the Princess Mary, the Duke of Cambridge, and suites. His Imperial High ness and the Royal party having taken the seats pro vided for them, the band of the Coldstream Guards struck up the first bars of a quadrille, which was then danced in an open space formed in front of the dais. Eastern monarchs don't dance, and are said to wonder why other people should, when men and women can be hired to undergo this fatigue. So the Sultan looked calmly on while the twelve couples who formed the only quadrille party went through the well-known figures. The Prince of \Vales danced with Lady Northcote ; Princess Alice honoured with her hand the Minister for India. The Duchess of Cambridge remained seated on the right of his Imperial Highness, and the Duke of Cambridge during the quadrille took the chair on the Sultan's left, which had been va cated by the Princess Alice. His Excellency Fuad Pasha, as usual, acted as interpreter in the conver sation between his Imperial Majesty and any of the royal party whom he addressed. After the quadrille came a waltz, which was re stricted as before to the royal party. But the waltz somewhat languished, and was not shared in at the most by more than six or seven couples, sometimes only by two or three. It was kept up, however, as waltzes are, with a fitful energy long sustained, and the guests outside the privileged circle watched the dancing with immense interest. At half-past 12 the Sultan signified his pleasure to take supper, and a new procession was formed which proceeded up the grand staircase, and past the pleasant cascade, with its refreshing sound of falling water, to the chief supper room. The ap proaches were lined by Yeomen of the Guard and the picturesquely-attired members of the Sultan's body-guard ; and a stately show it was as the courtly throng divided to allow the chief guests to h pass, the Sultan giving his arm to the P r i ncess Alice as before, and the Prince of Wales and the other members of the royal party following to the banquet prepared for them. The band, which had played a grand march as the procession passed, now struck up a merrier strain. Dancing was vigorously begun while the distinguished guests were at table, and was still more vigorously continued after supper. Great statesmen and diplomatists don't as a rule dance, and one or two whose official positions required that they should were observed to be rather at a loss in some of the figures. Few politicians even are fascinated by this amusement. Since a ball it was to be, Sir Stafford Northcote was therefore per fectly justified in inviting a proportion of " ball going people," as well as the more staid and per haps more distinguished persons who, like 'the celebrated Tenth, don't dance."

It was stated in evidence that on the 3d inst. the deceased had an altercation with his son Daniel, who kicked him in the abdomen. On Tuesday last he died from neglected inflammation of the bowels. The son said that his father had been kicked by a horse, and it appeared that the deceased made a statement to that effect to the surgeon. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Daniel Wright, who was then committed for trial THE BALL TO THE SULTAN AT THE Guards acted as masters of the ceremonies, and did INDIA HOUSE. their best to prevent the ball from flagging. A large proportion of the guests, however, were satis fied with having seen the Sultan and the Royal party come and go in procession, and after supper did not return to the ballroom. Supper was pro vided for 2,500 visitors. THE VISIT OF THE BELGIANS. Yesterday the Belgians spent one of the most en joyable days they have had since their arrival in London. They marched from the cavalry barracks in Albany-street to Highgate, where they were en tertained by Miss Burdett Coutts under circum stances which must have made the fete at Holly lodge thoroughly agreeable. Though the route from Albany-street to Miss Coutts' villa lies through what may be called a suburb, the inhabitants of the districts through which they passed made such pre parations for giving them a hearty welcome that their progress., both going and returning, was marked by general enthusiasm. At 1 o'clock the troops as sembled at the barracks for a general parade previ ously to their march. Sir P. Hunter, Col. Warde, Col. R. Gardner, of the North-east London Rifles, and other English volunteer officers attended to assist the Belgian Staff in their arrangements. Col. Gregoire and most of his staff were mounted on this occasion--a circumstance which added considerably to the appearance of the column while marching. At 2 o'clock the commandant gave the order to march, and the Chasseurs Eclaireurs, headed by their band, passed out of the barrack gate. They were fol lowed by the Chasseurs Beiges, better known as the Belgian Volunteers ; and then came successively the cavalry, artillery, and infantry of the Garde Civique. When the troops turned from Albany street into Park-street on their way to the Kentish town-road, they found that nearly every house was decorated with banners, and that a number of flags hung on cords stretched across from one side of the way to the other. The great lamp at the point where Park-street runs into the Kentish- Town-road had been converted into a sort of trophy. A very large number of people had assembled at that spot, and they cheered our visitors with much warmth. Along the Kentish Town-road and High gate-rise, up to Holly-lodge, there was a much larger show of flags than had been made for the Belgians within a similar length of ground in any other part of the metropolis. Most of the shops were closed, the pavements were crowded with people, and every private window was filled with spectators, most of whom wore ribands of the Belgian colours. The cheering was continuous. When the Riflemen reached the foot of Highgate-hill the bells of St. Anne's began to ring out a merry peal, which was continued till long after they had entered the grounds of Holly-lodge. Near the entrance gates a very handsome triumphal arch had been erected. On a banner descending from the centre with the words, " Welcome to Highgate." A guard of honour composed of men of the 20th Middlesex Rifles was drawn up outside the grounds of the villa, and presented arms as the Belgian Riflemen filed in through the gates. The Belgians were formed in lines on ground which, at some distance from the houses, slopes in the direction of the Highgate-road. After some delay they were re-formed in column, and, with bands playing, marched up to the lawn in front of the villa, where they were reviewed in presence of an illustrious and distinguished com pany. On the balcony, in front of the drawing rooms, were the Duchess of Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess of Meckletiburgh-Strelitz, the Prince and Princess of Teck, M. and Mdme. Van de Weyer, the Count and Countess do Paris, the Duke and Duchess of Aosta, the Duke of Wellington, Baron Bentiuck, the Netherlands Minister, Lord Gran ville, the Marquis d'Azeglio, the Bishop of London, Lord Mansfield, Lord Frederick Paulet, Lord Claud Hamilton, &c. Seated under the porch was Miss Burdett Coutts, and in her immediate vicinity were Lord Stanhope, the Marquis and Marchioness of Normanby, Lord Overstone, Lord Churston, Colonel and the llon.

In making the presentation the Commandant said he did so in the name of the Chasseurs Eclaireurs of Belgium. Tho name of Miss Burdett Coutts was well known in that country. There as well as here it was identified with philanthropy. He was proud to be the medium of conveying to Miss Coutts the sentiments of his countrymen, who had the greatest admiration for her benevolence. Miss Burdett Coutts begged that Major de l'Eau Audrimont would convey to the Chasseurs Eclaireurs her thanks for their very beautiful present, which, she assured them, she received with very great pleasure. 3,1133 Coutts added that she was happy to have so many of the Chasseurs, as well as of the Garde Civique, her guests that day. The whole corps having marched past in slow time, they were conducted to the portion of the grounds in which the tents for the dejeuner had been erected. There were three tents. In one covers were laid for 1,228 ; in each of the others there were places for 488. There was another tent, very pretty in all its details, which was fitted up for the hostess herself and her Royal guests. It cow" manded a view of the other three tents, and was lined half round with mirrors, which reflected much of the scene outside. The repast pro vided for the riflemen was an excellent one, aud elegantly served. Champagne was distributed 1 11 _ profusion, and there was an equal abundance o£ . bitter ale. Before the close of the dejeuner each of the tents was visited by Miss Coutts, who was ac companied by the Royal and distinguished per sonages, who were guests at the villa. At the close of the dejeuner Colonel Gregoire pre posed the toast of " The Queen of England," an d the Prince of Teck that of " The King and Queen of the Belgians." Before leaving the grounds the entire body of the Belgians conveyed through their officers their acknowledgments to Miss Burdett Coutts for the compliment she had paid them, and the pleasant afternoon she had enabled them to spend at Holly-lodge. THE AGRICULTURAL HALL. The concert givenlast night in ho n o u r of our Bel gian visitors was a brilliant affair in its way. Th e hall was illuminated and decorated precisely in the manner described in our notice of the ball which was given on the previous evening, and a crowd scarcely less vast had assembled shortly after eight o'clock, the hour at which the concert was adver tised to begin. Considering that the entertainmen t was got up especially for the Belgian Volunteers , great surprise was felt that comparatively s° few of them were present. Indeed, but for the knowledge of this fact, the Belgian element, as re presented last night, would scarcely have beon re marked. A ball, however, kept up till six or sae° in the morning, and immediately succeeded by 3 fete champetre, like that to which our excellent friends were invited by Miss Burdett Coutts, woul d appear enough to satisfy for a time the strong craving after amusement. And doubtless the phi - E:ical exhaustion created by these two events, tb ° one following so closely;on the other, kept a large number of Belgians away from the concert. Thes ° who came, however, were evidently pleased with tbe entertainment provided for them.
