To conclude with Under the circumstances of the case it would have been impossible to have complied with the demand of the Cabinet at Washington for his withdrawal. It would have been an admission of his guilt, and of the complicity of the English Government. The moment, however, that ti complaint -.wan withdrawn against our Govern ment, we might have appointed him =to another diplomatic position, and substituted &Minister more agreeable to General PIERCE. The desired object- would thus have been obtained without offence or insult on either side. That, however, did not suit the policy of the candidates for a renewed tenure of office, and hence the difficulty that has so materially endangered the amicable relations between the great branches of the Anglo- Saxon race. It is to be regretted that the Parliamentary discussion on this interesting and all-important topic will not take place before Thursday. In such matters promptitude is indispensable. "It 'twere done well 'twere well it were done quickly." The delay even of a single hour is inexcusable, more especially when Government might easily have foreseen the step so recklessly adopted by their opponents. We trust, however, that the announcement will be made this evening. Lord JOHN' RUS S ELL has given notice of exhibiting an interrogatory, and judgingfrom the terms in which he expressed his intention we only hope that the answer may not be in accordance with his wishes or expectations. He once disregarded the honour and interests of his country, and in so doing irretrievably forfeited the confidence of his fellow-citizens. He will therefore no longer be regarded as a safe counsellor in matters of inter national policy. Thera is now but one course to adopt, and that is to dismiss Mr. DALLAS, and patiently to await the next movement on the part of the Government and people of the United States ROYAL PRINCESS'S PEIPJATRE.: ox ?ORD-STREET. tradrziho Management of 'lr.

The cause of National Education has at least secured ono thing, a vote of nearly half a million of money in furtherance of the system now in force. Not less than 451,0001. was given without a division, almost without objection, for Mr. BARNES' amendment to reduce the vote to that of last year, namely, 396,921/, was meant rather as a pe for his speech than as a business proposition. The feeling is strong in the House that Govern ment should do something, and hence though few are satisfied either with the practically irre sponsible powers of the Cenamittee of Privy Council, or with all the decrees they have issued under the name of minutes, yet the money is cheerfully voted, and perhaps double the amount would be were it but demanded., So far as we can judge from the representations of both friends and foes of the preSent system, it has been honestly worked on the part of Govern ment ; the causes of complaint are either inciden tal to Government operations or inherent in the very nature of the subject. Government Inspec tors will be a costly and meddlesome class of persons, and disposed to bother others with their oivn crotchets. The educational Bishops must be expected to imitate the Bishops who superintend another class of teachers, but, on the whole, they appear to advantage in the comparison. The reports of many of them also have been worth much, as sources of authentic information, .what ever we may think of their opinions and theories. Nor is it easy to see how, if pecuniary aid be afforded to schools, it could be safely given with out some verification of the mode of its application. It is a psrt of the present scheme, however, as likely 'as any to degenerate into jobbery and favouritism, and the House was quite justifisd, therefore, in ics strong aversion to .L >rd JOHN Russzrz's resolution, which would have increased the number of inspectors and arranged their grades, till we should have had a psrfect Educational Hierarchy, with Sir JOHN IC NYE SHUTTLEWORTH, or the Minister of E location, as the Archbishop —his subordinate Diocesans, Archdeacons under the name of Sub- Inspectors, and a clergy in the form of Government Dominies in every parish school. There is hap pily no disposition to go further than is absolutely necessary in the erection of a costly establishment, easy enough to build up, but which, if it be found too cumbrous and expensive, will be defended on the eternal plea of vested interests. Better waste a few grants than create too many salaried officers. On one point we think the minutes very arbi trary—the refusal of aid to send tr schools. Schools have been opened, in AI oichester cially, which cenfiue the school instruction to the impartation of secular knowledge, and leave the religious instruction where it is, in our opinion, best the hands of the S today school teacher and the minister. The division of labour alone is a great gain, and one practised in the education of all the superior classes of society. The schools are, therefore, perfectly un se itarian, and their general instructiou of a decidedly supe rior class. It is, however, Lord JoaN RUSSELL'S crotchet that the Hely Scriptures shill be read daily, even if profaned by rolling, in all.schools aided by Government ; and hence some merito rious schools are excluded from their fair share of the public grants. We trust Mr. IVlir,NEit G IBSON and Mr. Fox, who have taken up the case, will not permit the continuance of this injustice. It is the more flagrant since it was shown that 90 per cent. of the children actually frequent Sunday Schools, and itis surely worth something that the mental ilakedness of. the other ten per cent. should be solved—the edn cat i o To a vary groat exte n n 9overed-Ivith the fi g l eaves of the despised secular educat ieducation.

LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 16, 1856. The . despatches from Mr. MARCY relative to the dismissal of Mr. CRA3IPTON, and the revocation of the exequaturs to Messrs. AIATHEWS, BARCLAY, and ROWECROFT, have been duly published, and will be found in extenso in another part of this day's impression. They are exactly of the cha racter we have - already described, inflicting the gross insult in very courteous language, and ex pressing an anxious desire to maintain the most amicable relations, while virtually suspending diplomatic intereourse. Her MAJESTY'S Government are fully and com pletely accoitted of the charges previously pre ferred. The conciliatory spirit displayed in L)rd CLARENDON'S Note is du'y acknowledged, but at the same time the Minister and CJUSUIS of the English Gevernmerit are grossly insulted and seriously injured. They are punished without being allowed to defend themselves, or proving that they are innocent of the grave offences laid to their charge. This is totally opposed to the spirit of the constitutional laws of the United States as well as of t'lis country. It exhibits a pettifogging spirit totally unbecoming the government of a really great nation, and seems as if they were nettiated by the desire to seize with avidity any pretext fur offence. The matter; too, is greatly aggravated by the fact, that at the very time when they were re senting, with such stringent tenacity, an alleged violation of the municipal laws and of the sove reign rights of the Republic, they had recognised the piratical government of Nicaragua, which was altogether foUnded on a far more decided infrac tion of those •very laws and rights, and which infraction; if not directly sanctioned, was at least tacitly connived at by the PIERCE-MARCY Cabinet. It is idle to say that the offence of Messrs. 02AMPTON MATHEWS, BARCLAY, and ROWECROFT cannot be forgiven, while the far more serious- acts of WALKER and his associates are regarded not merely with indifference, but oven indirectly encouraged. It is thus evident that there is more in the matter than meets the eye, and that the insult to Great Britain iA founded on some unexpressed purpose, w ith th e intention of Making political capital for a falling and hitherto . Unpo ls di r vernment---to catch, in fact,:ithe doubtful voted for the P res i dential popul a ti on, election, - .of the worst alias of the of those who omit no opportu n i t y of exp ress i ng 'their . ardent desire " to whip the tarnatioa Britishers," and to administer a severe castigatio, to " the unnatural mother." It would have been more to the credit o f Messrs. PIERCE and MARCY if they had refrained from trespassing on such doubtful - ground for such improper purposes. :"'They have exhibited a little ness of mind that. must seriously degrade their country.... , Even if all that has been alleged against the British Minister and Consuls could be esta blished, beyond the possibility of doubt or eon treverayin'Sfrong Government, conscious of its own posi:tion i :would have disdained to avail itself of a merey-13ersenal, charge, or to have pursued with unrelasting animosity four individuals for acting is dience 'to instructions which they were bognd obey, even if through excess of zeal they-had e _*O;ioded th e au t h or i sed l i m i ts.

These denominations, who spend lire in filthy - courts, I • in the midst of dirt and ragl, or who' carry on lie lovest occup itions—constitute a considerable kiss, and the one which most needs to be reached tha governmental or by voluntary philan .ltropy. But how to do it ! The drainage of the metropolis and the purification of its river is a trifling difficulty in comparison ; wa know more than one way in which that could be done. But how to purify the moral stream which is daily increasing upon us in L - mdon and all great towns especially, is a question no educational engineer idea dr emotion by tone is another matter, and leelodge. to the intellectual or - sentimental department of art. One may exist without the other ; mechanical and poeti cal 'perfection, indeed, are rarely united in one person, but Johanna Wagner forms a most remarkable excep tion►, for not only is her natural voice surpassingly riche and beautiful, but she knows how to empl , y all it' tones to the very best advantage. Her sostenuto singing and declamation are worthy of all praise, and there is no greater mistress of the arts of swelling and diminishing the sound, and rendering it subservient by emotional colouring to the purposes of dramatic expression. Other florid execution we had few opportunities of juJging on the present occasion, but whatever floriture she at tempted were accomplished with perf6ct skill and bril liant bravura. • - . - r r 4 - I T. 4 s r NE WS. 4, MARSEILLES, SUNDAY.

Wagner wag, of course, most cordially greeted when she made her appearance upon the stage, There was something, also, to charm the eye as well as to pique the curiosity, for the public beheld a tall, elegant person, clad in the picturesque armour of the middle ages, with a profusion of light hair streaming from the golden casque which rested gracefully on her bead. Her manner and deportment at once betrayed intimate familiarity with the stage, as well as the eas e an d f reedom of a well-bred woman. Nor could it be concealed that an artiste, in the genuine meaning of the word, was present —one who aimed at individualising the fictitious personage she was about to represent, and filling up the outline of the dra matist with breadth and power. Throughout the whole of the phases of passion, excitement, and distress, which . make up the operatic portraiture of the unhappy Romeo, she made a deep impression, simply been - use she grasped the peculiar sentiment of the unmeant with sympathetic purpose, and developed it with a sensitive and highly cultivated judgment. Her interviews with Giulietta were as fraught with tenderness and devotion as her grief at her • suppoged death was overwhelming and profound. The last act was but a further illustration of the trans scendant ability in expressing the fulness and intensity of grief—now somewhat calmer and more resigned, but destined to a terrible revulsion when the faint and lan guid tones of the entombed maiden proclaim the fatal truth that she—lives ! It would be difficult to imagine ac ,ing more piteous and affecting than that which the audience witnes.ed on the part of Mdlle. Wagner, who, in these latter passages of despair and affliction, never, for an instant, lapsed into extravagance inconsonant with the grave solemnity of the r ego°. The natural voice of Nldlle. Wagner is a contralto, all this part of her register, as well as the lowest of her soprano notes, being remarkable for their richness and beauty. The delicate and fervent feeling which we have spoken of as incident to her acting also animates her singing, and in he delivery of recitative she loiters upon every note, as if to extract the remotest particle of weaui. g of which it_ is susceptible ; while to the airs, and concerted pieces she communicates an expression which we can feel to be but highly dramatic and discri minative. We have only t) add that, whether as an actress or a singer, she took complete possession ...f the house on Saturday night. She was recalled again and again ; and no ovation that' we have witnessed or, the stage of this theatre —and we have witnessed several— ever surpassed hers in vigour and persistence. • TURIN, JUNE 15. ale distribution of the Queen of England's medals to the Sardinian troops has passed off with great success.

Wagner's whole performance has inspired us with unbounded admiration of her powers as a tragedian. Were she to act Shakspere's own Romeo, with all its rich and beautiful details, instead of the meagre outline of the Italian libretto-maker—were she to give us the romantic love at first sight, the passionate fervour of the moonlight wooing under the balcony, the scene with the carv, and the thousand touches of truth and nature wi is oar poet has thrown in, what a picture could she n,t give of the enamoured Italian bo)— what an effect could she not impart b the saddest tale of true love that ever was told. Were ahe to "throw music to the dogs," and be, u. her wa tongue, the Romeo of Shakspere, she would be, in her own country, such a Romeo as the Eogli stage has never possessed. There is some music which may exalt and inteni ity the language of passion ; but it Millie. Wagner reaches the heart and stirs the inmost affections, it is in spite of, and not by the help of, the unmeaning sing- song of Bellini. That AUL,. Wagner is a great singer is as certain as that she is a great actress. (From the Morning Advertiser.) The stature of Mdlle . Wagner is considerably above the middle height; and her maj sqtic figure and impres sive action were grand adjur,cis 11) the immense sticce , s which she achieved on Saturday. Her voice is a mezzo soprano, of good quality, and great power. But with this natural gift Mdtle. Wagner conjoins what we must c ill, to a great extent, acquirements. For instance, aided by remarkable physique, she succeeds in passing, in her recitative and declamation, from the ordinary firnale voice to a contralto id its lower range, with a t/nil/re that completely astounds the auditors. On the repetition, however, of this remarkable achievement, surprise,at. the unexpected effect gives way to un• alloyed admiration of this almo,t unexampled attribute of the artiste. This was most remarkable - when, entering in a suit of splendid armour, , Romeo, - com missioned by the chief of the Ghibellines, delivers as <a ' Montagtie, the proposals for peace to the capulet,- as. °lie of the leaders ;of the Guelfe. There was a betoio. dignity in the delivery, a hell-like cleiirnesis in the voice, a heroic dignity in the action, and an impressiveness in the accent, which commanded admiration. The aria, "Si Romeo t'ncciso tin figlio," w as a masterpiece of execution. In the trumpet-like defiant "La trem..nda ultrice spade," the effect was electric, and the victory complete. Vehement ariplame followed this unsurpassed bravura. ,The next scene was in fine contrast, and the., duo, " Miglior pa,ria avrem," with Giulietta Blur), confirmed the impression that an unrivalled Romeo had been introduced to the London operatic stage. The first act closed upon the genial•and melodic " Vieni; ah ! vieui , e in 'rria riposa," and the pretty repeat by Gitilietta. Twice was Mdlle. Wagner recalled at the close of the act, and, amid showers of bouquets, led or. Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied . by the Prince Frederick William of.

A. barbarous custom prevails in the prison at Staff.nd io the burial of criminals subjected to capital punishment, and it was adhered to in the ease of Palmer. It will, perhaps, scarcely be credited that his body on being - removed from the scaffold was divested of every article of clothing, and buried in a perfectly nude state, without even a shall.

In the evening there were a supper, ball, and fireworks. The Dauphin was then five years of age, and was able to replY himself to the usual questions." The Emperor on the occasion of the baptism °f the Prince Imperial has decreed 11 promotions to the rank of commander, 23 to that of officer, and 242 nominations to that of Knight of the Legion of Honour, among officers, sub-officers, and privates in the army and gendarmery; and 2 promotions to the rank of grand officer, 10 to that of commander , 20 to that of officer, and 100 nominations to that of knight among officers and non-commissioned officers in the navy and marines. Another decree makes 5 promotions to the rank of commander, 8 to that of officer, and 32 nominations to that Of knight among officers and non-commissioned officers in the army and navy on the retired list. The Emperor, who, at the time of the accouche ment of the Empress, caused. to participate in hi! clemency more than 800 convicts at the ba g nes ana in the different prisons of the empire, has just granted, on the occasion of the baptism of the Prince Imperial, numerous pardons in the different penitentiary establishments.

The opera chosen for the occasio❑ WAS one of the earliest compositions of Bullini—" I Capuletti ed i Mon - tecchi," and from the very first moment Mdlle. Wagner ►na le her appearance on the stage success was certain. Throughout the whole of the four acts, into which the opera is divided, ➢Zdlle. Wagner's career was one con tinued triumph, and at the fall of the curtain, at the termination of each of the acts, she had to re-ap• pear to receive the applause of the brilliant and aristocratic audience she had enchanted. Madlle. %Vaguer's voice is a mezza soprano, extending, indeed, to the contralto region. It is iminansely powerful, and every note between G natural (ledger line beneath the treble clef) and B natural (ledger lino above the treb'e clef) is pure and wonderfully sonorous, and id the whole of our experience we certainly never heard any vocal tone so sustained, equal, and voluminous as hers. The other parts in the opera were very 'effi.liently supported by Madile. Jenny Bauer, Herr• Reichardt, and Signor Beneventano. We coraially agree in the Mowing opinions of the powers of roladlle. Wagner, given by our morning con- emporar.es (From the Times.) When first Madame Rist.:ri, in the character of Medea, passed along the rocky background, that first entrance was sufficient to prove that all was riget. The same may be Laid of Mademoiselle Wagner. When she ad vanced from the back of the stage as the armed R)meo, her stately form encased in the most glittering mail, the clusters of fair hair falling ab. , ut her neck, the tall plume v.aving above her bead, she gave full earnest of her victory. " Vera incessu patuit dea ;"—there was a revelation of superiority in the very step, and the sono rous voice in which the young warrior announced his mission as an ambassador of peace to the Capolete, and welch rang through the house as penetrating and as awakeniug as toe surnames of a trumpA createe a feeling which was nothing short of amazement. People could net so soon make up their minds whether they were look ing at a great vocalist or a great actress—but, at all events, a grand apparition was before them. A step light and tnejeetie, a v ice combining the resources of the con tralto and the soprano, a spirited mode of declamation, a native grace that rendered every pose a pictorial illustra tioa—this as altogether such as union of elements as for a while suspended the power of reflection. Toe truly martial manner in which she shouted forth the air of defiance, " Le treinenda nitrite spada," must brilliantly wound up the first scene, and in the next came the duet with Giteietta, in winch Mademoiselle Wagner displayed all the pension of an ardent lover, still in the same grand sculptured style with which she had represented the emotions of hatred. An enthusiastic call fellowed the descant of the drop-scene, and as soon as the plaudits had subsided a few sounds of di approbation were heard. Tee which could only have denoted some personal feeling—for to aeiribute them to critical opinion would be simply preposterous—bad merely the effect of re kindling the zeal of the audience and Mademoiselle Wagner was again summoned before the certain. The second act of " I Capuletti ed i Montecchi" is similar ie character to the first scene of the first act, being chiefly made up of a squabble between the rival factions, occaeioned by Romeo's attempt to carry off Giulietta, an I thus topreveot her marriage with Tubaldo. The dispute between Romeo and Tehaldo in the third act, which is brought to a sudden termination by the appearance of Giulietta's funeral in the background, brought with it a new oeportuuity for display ; and a wind effeet introduced by Mademoiselle Wagner took the audience by surprise : " Vieni, io ti sprezzoe sqdo Taco i seguaci tuoi; Tu brainerai fra not L'Alpi frapprste a it mar," said the infuriated Romeo, and while pronouncing these words of defiance Mademoiselle Wagner took such a sudden leap from the highest to the lowest extremity of her voice, and at the same time ac:mmpanied it with such an expression of overwhelming wrath, that the combiea.tion of the vocal feet with the histrionic out br -ak was of surpassing effect. The Romeo of Made moiselle Wa . -4ner reaches his climax in the fourth act which is almost identical with that of, not Shakspere, but Garrick. Tne h- art-rending sobs with which Romeo Slogs himself on the supposed corpse of Giulietta and his a i iand.ininent to a luxury of wo— the transient rapture with which he ohs rves her resus citation, the shriek and attitude of despair with which he exclaims " Ah, infelice !" as the remembrance of the poison flashes through his mind—came in sub rapid succession that the audience looked on with umninaied a,diniration, till at the descent of the curtain they rolled forts the most deafening applause, and thrice summoned before the curtain the great artiste, who had already been called at the end of every act. Those persons whose memory does not take them back to the days of Madame Pasta, and who were not at her Majesty's Theatre on Saturday night, will, doubtlesm, have a difficulty in con ceivieg that such excitement could be got out of such .an li:lipid opera as " I Capttletti ed i Montecchi." The new Rome.) gives life to what was lifeless. (Front the orating, Poi& ) Johanna Wagner has appeared at last, and 'at once fully justified all that has been said of her by the best Gerinac critics.' With one stroke she has annihilated whatever prejudice circumstances might have raised against her, and conquered the almost insuperable diffi culties which her own mighty reputation had thrown in the mayor success with a new and critical public. The few, however, who were acquainted w,th her powers could have no fears for the result, which proved to be as we had confidently anticipated- 7 a° artistic tiiumpli of the loftiest order.

THE BAPTISM OF THE IMPERIAL PRINCE. PARIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 14. The baptism o f th e Imperial Prince was cele brated to-day, 'at half-past 5 o'clock p.m., in the church of Notre Dame. A salute of artillery fired at six o'clock this morning, announced that this was the day fixed for the ceremony, and at two o'clock all the avenues leading to the cathedral Were occupied by the Luperal Guard, under the command of General Regnaud de St. Jean d'An gelY. The Master of the Ceremonies also arrived at an early hour to superintend the execution of the programme and the placing of the persons in vited, who began to enter the church at half-past two. A porch was erected in front of the principal entrance for the arrival and departure of the car riages, and two wings in the form of tents covered the two side gates. On-the square of the parvis stood two high masts carrying banners with the armorial bearings of the Empire. Two other masts, with similar colours, were .placed at the entrance of the Rue d'Arcole, and two large banners floated on the top of the towers. The square was sanded and strewn over With flowers and foliage. . The appearance of the cathedral was such as to astonish, we might almost say astound, those with whose eye it was familiar in its ordinary aspect, and to enhance with delight the stranger who saw it for.the first time in its new aspect. The building had .undergone the most wonderful transformation. From the roof to the ground the whole pile has been painted. 'The cold whitish grey pillars were swathed in crimson velvet, with longitudinal bars of gold ; and the capitals of the columns were gilded, producing an effect like that of the light Corinthian acanthus. The ogival arches, spring ing from column to column, if we may use such non - professional phrase, were painted in very deli cate colours, raised by a drapery of deep crimson, with bees ; and behind was a gallery for spectators; hung with a lighter coloured7crimson cloth, with festoons of green leaves, Under this were tribunes equally inclosed in crimson velVet. The fLior was carpeted, with space enough left between rowa,of benches for the ; precession to pass up. The light fell through windows expiesaly coloured- by some improved process, so as to represent the stained glass iu which the metropolitan cathedral has been wanting. Everything that art inspired by zeal Could do was set at work to giVe Notre Dame the aspect of a church of the 13ch century. The roof :was painted blue, with stars, according t o th e h a bi t of - that age . N or is all this fine work to be lost to the future, for acc or di ng to t h e approved success of the whole experiment, or of part, the plan 1, r the -i nternarfeateration of the cathedral is to Le decided. In the centre of the transept rose a platform, six steps above the paVement of the church, closed bye, railing, with an opening on the side of the nave. On tli t at stage 'were placed the altar, three steps higher, the: entrance of , the sanctuary ; the throne of the Emperor -and: Empress, three steps higher, opposite the altar; the baptismal fonts, one step higher, between- the altar and throne; the throne of the eaa'dinal. Legate a Latere, two steps higher, at the entrance of the sanctuary, facing the altar and throne of their .
