Recurring to they subject of Orange procescdon3, and ti.e attempt on the, p in of some over-zeal.us Protestants in Ireland to re-establish, or rather to reorganize the Orange Association, and to give development and military array to the various affiliated bodies of which it is com posed, we cannot notice in terms of too strong commen dation the letter of the Irish Secretary (Mr. Lucas) to Mr. WATSON, which we published in The Sun of Friday last. Mr. WATSON—being at the time one of her MAJESTY'S Justices of the Peace for the counties of An trim and Down, and a Deputy-Lieutenant of the former, —had been so ill advised as, by his own confession (in answer to an application addressed to him by desire of his Excellency Lord HEYTESBURY), to have signed certain resolutions of the Lisburn Orangemen, in the capacity of chairman of their meeting. One of these resolutions wa s t o this ele :t :—" Resolved, that we deem it essential to take immediate steps to re• organize the Orange institution in this country, and that the county secretary be requ es t e d f ort h w i t h to convene a county meeting." The Enniskillen meeting, to which we have already devoted a special notice, followed. Our view of the illegality of the whole proceedings connected with that "demonstration" will be found in perfect accordance with the irresistible case sct forth by Mr. Lucas, in in timating to Mr. Wicrsox his dismissal from the Lieu- tenancy of Antrim. M. Lucas, after stating that Vs Excellency has receive.l, with deep regret, Mr. WAT. sox's acknowledgment, rofers this gentleman to the memorable answer or his late Majesty King WILLIAM IV. to the ad cress of the Hi ,use of Commons, presented on the 25th of February, 1836, praying his MAJESTY to discourage Orange lodges, and to the subsequent Act of Parliament, 6 and 7 Will. IV., c. 38 ; to the 2 and 3 Vict., c. 74 ; and to the 7 and 8 Vict., c. 78 ; as, in the tut instance, specially directed against, and throwing We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. M GUIZOT'S speech at Lisieux is the subject of comment in most of them, and La Presse takes the occasion to draw a most ingenious parallel, after the manner of PLUTARCH, between M. GUIZOT and M. THURS. They all also contain articles on the declaration of war by Mexico against the United States, which none of them seem to regard in a very serious light. From the following, which appears in the Journal des Debate under the date of Zurich, 10th August, it would appear as if another collision in Switzerland was immi nent : "Yesterday, the Berne Deputies left Zurich precipitately. The cause of this abrupt departure is a secret. This day the District Committees of the famous popular league are to mee t at Berne, an event of a nature to excite alarm in the Govern. ment of this Canton. While the popular league is deliberating at Berne, that is, at this moment while I am writing, the Committee of the Free Corps is sitting at Zoffingen, a sma ll town of the Canton of Argau, on the frontiers of Lucerne, which was their head-quarters, whence the expedition started. M. Stieger and M. Boschenstein are at Zoffiugen. This is the day also on which the Canton of Vaud is called upon to vote fey the new constitution devised by the lucubrations of M. Dr ay and his colleagues. Thus one-half of Switzerland is in movement at this same moment." It appears certain that Marshal BUGEAUD has been recalled ; Generals DE RUMIGNY, CUBIERES, and SE BASTIANI are each spoken of as likely to succeed him. The National has the following on the subject of the Great Northern Railroad:— - - --- " All the Companies that had been formed for the purpose of contracting for the Northern Railroad have capitulated in turn. " Yesterday the Company of Pepin Lehalleur surrendered, and to-day that of Admiral Rosamel struck its flag. In con sequence of the accession of those two Companies, it was ne cessary to make a new division of the shares. According to the information we have obtained, the division took place as follows : Francs. Rothschild was awarded ...... 51,500,000 Messrs. Laffitte and Blount 41,500,000 M. Hottingeur M. Rosamel ....... M. Pepin Lehalleur In all " Thus the eollusiou is flagrant, and there trill not even re- THE SUN, LONDON, direct legal impediments in the way of assembling :I of bodies constituted 1;14e the Orange Association ; and as subsequently eetie guishing their legal existence altogether. Nothieg can be more paternal or more w ise than the answer oi li"‘ I.g NV iLLIADI IV. to the address of the Commons.' Ti e King said, " that he willingly assented to their pi ayer, that he would take such measures as might seem exe.. dient for the effectual discouragement of Orange lodges, andj generally of all political societies, excluding per sons of a different religious: faith, using secret signs and symbols, and acting by means of associated branches." The statutes declare that such: societies formed with such object s a re ip so f ac t o ill ega l. Yet the members of this Orange body—of these " boys," as Lord GEORGE LOFTUS called them, in the fervour of his recognition—these affiliated societies, with their em blems and party colours and their military bands, were all of them, in the most ostentatious and offensive mari ner possible, paraded on the 11 th of August. Do the Irish Orangemen, who claim a monopoly of Irish loyalty, and practically assert a* exclusive at tachment to the throne and the institutions of the moaarchy—do they consider the evidence of that loyalty and the proof of this attachment to consist in this contemptuous disregard of the expressed wishes of a SOVEREIGN whose affection for Ireland, and Irish in terests, surpassed that which had been evinced by any of his predecessors on the throne ;—in this open and undisguised violation of an Act of that Imperial Legis lature, of whose integrity and supremacy they are the most eager champions ? Truly an Irish " dernonstra t;on" this, of deference to the wishes of the Crown, and of dutiful respect for the authority of Parliament! Mr. Lucas writes to Mr. WATSON, with equal force and justice, thus:—" The law being thus unequivocal, and the sense of the Legislature thus deliberately pro nounced, you have, nevertheless, thought fit, while bearing the commission of the peace, and the office of Deputy-Lieutenant for the county of Antrim, to attend and act as chairman of a meeting "—at which the reso lutions already noticed were passed. He proceeds—" As a Deputy-Lieutenant you should be an aid to the Lieu tenant of your county in all lawful measures tending to preserve its peace. You have encouraged asseinblice, the result of which, in an adjoining county, has been:: formidable affray, attended with loss of life." After so clear an exposition of the folly (to use tic mildest term) into which Mr. WATSON had been betrayed, and such practical, tangible evidence of the evils resultii from the singular want of judgment he had manifestee: in dealing with the Lisburn resolutions, as had been sup plied by the Enniskillen raree-show, and the political parsons, and the partizan-bands—is not the last phase of Irish-Orange fatuity almost inconceivable, which we find, by our latest accounts, has been exhibited in the preliminary feting and honoring of the ex-Deputy Lieutenant ? A number ;of ultra- Orange leaders, and among them we perceive (with more regret than surprise) is Earl RODEN are bent on bearing public testimony to their estimation of Mr. WATSON'S constancy and sufferings in the great cause, which, of old, had the distinguished honor to reckon the present King of HANOVER for its " Pon tifex Maximus," or its " Grand Master" at any rate. From the circumstance of seeing that men like Lord RODEN are committing themselves to this illegal and most ill-omened counter-movement, we are more than ever impressed with the serious nature of the conse quences in which the unchained spirit that has called up the Enniskillen demonstration may, ere long, involve the people of Ireland. It is truly melancholy to find the English Government (giving them credit, as we are wil ling to do, for a sincere desire to do more than conciliate the affections of that country—namely, to merit them 1,3 the adoption of a system of practical amelioration and equality throughout all the departments of the public service) —to find that Government thus check mated, as it were, by the blundering zeal and heated party spirit, and religious intolerance, of its own servants and magistrates,—and even by officers directly representing, in their particular distric:s, the authority of the Crown. On the other hand, no candid person can rise from a perusal of Mr. LUCAS'S letter to Mr. WATSON without a feeling of profound re spect for the enlightened firmness of the Lord Lieutenant in so promptly and emphatically repressing the first outbreak of this incendiary zeal, and for the tone of severe, but dignified expostulation, with which the Irish Secretary has conveyed the determination which his Excellency has arrived at, in this case, to the offending magistrate. It is oily from pereeverance in a stern and uncompromising assertion of these principles of political justice anti impartiality in her Majesty's Viceroy, that we can venture to indulge in any one hopeful augury of the future peace or prosperity of Ireland. Accounts have been riceived at St. Petersburgh which state that there had been a heavy fall of snow in the Caucasus between the Ifidi and 25th of Jute. It is add , ..11 that the movements of the Russian troops had not been discontinued. The Wurzburgh Gazette states that Queen VICTORIA, on her return from Coburg, will pass a night at Bamberg and Wurzburgh, and that it is probable the King c,f BAVARIA will have an interview with her MAJESTY. Letters from Vienna declare that the StaVs of Bohemia have obtained an extension of their representa tives of the burgess class, fourteen ,towns having been granted the privilege of sending representatives to the Diet. Madrid papers to the 9th have been received. Ac cording to an official bulletin just received from St. Se bastian, the QUEEN was to quit that place on the 16th for Mondragon, where she was to take the Santa-Agueda waters, and remain till the 25th of August. Her MA JESTY was then to proceed to Bilbao, and thence to Pampeluna, whither the Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS were expected to arrive on the 4th of September, or thereabouts. Troops had left. Madrid on the 6th for the northern provinces. The decree for the convocation of the Cortes is to ap- pear in the Gaceta towards the end of the month. The Carlists in the Basque provinces are in high spirits, as a general belief exists there that everything is arranged for the marriage of the Queen and the Count of MONTEMOLIN. Some of them even go so far as to assert that it will take place at Pampaluna during a visit of the Duc DE NEMOURS. We are not, however, inclined to attach much credit to these rumours. The Basques are in great trepidation as to the fate of their fueros—the Political Chief having of bis own proper authority installed the prefecture, an act which is a complete violation of the,fueros. A strong protest has been drawn up against this act and transmitted to the Government. General RolicALl is spoken of as the pro bable successor of General CONCHA. in Catalonia. It would appear as if at length it was intended that something should be done for the unfortunate bond holders. The Heraldo says— " The direction of the Treasury has been ordered to pay something to the active and passive classes of the State creditors. Such events take place so very seldom, that we loudly announce this one, to console and encourage the parties interested, or in order that the rest of the nation may celebrate such a phenomenon. To effect this payment the Minister of Finances has been compelled to apply to the San Fernando Bank, and to entreat it to advance 14,000,000 reals on the consignation of September." The Funds were rather firmer to-day. Three per Cents. rose for time ; they closed at 34 cash, and 31 at 60 days: 11,000,000 done. Fives, 22 5-16tha at 60 days: 1,000,000 done.

REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHWARK.—(SATURDAY.) As yet electioneering matters in this borough have not taken any very tangible form, the only reel business having been done by the friends of Sir William Moles worth at the meeting last night. Today Mr. Filcher, the only other candidate yet declared, held a private meeting of his friends at his own residence, out of which the nucleus of a Committee was formed, and a room taken for their use at the Bridge Hotel. Up to a late period in the afternoon, however, no formal meeting bad taken place. Rumours were afloat yesterday, that Arthur K. Barclay, Esq., of the celebrated firm of Barclay and Co., intended coming for ward in the Tory interest. In answer to this, we may say that at a private meeting of his friends, held yesterday afternoon, it was agreed that no gentle man connected with that family would contest the borough. The field is, therefore, at preseLt between Sir William Molesworth and Mr. Pilcht , r ; and if the friends of the latter show no greater activity Limn they have already done in forwarding the interests of their candidate, they will stand but little chance in contending against such an active and organiz-d body es constitute the Committee on the other side.

THE STANHOPE DIARY.—The Memoirs of Lady Hestor Stanhope continue to excite the most intense interest. " During Mr. Pitt s lifetime (observes the Chronicle) she was Pattered and honoured by all the higher clones, and especially by the princes, princesses, and the Cgurt circle, and she was pretty nearly worshipped by the place-hunters. Her influence with her uncle was great, and she used it generously. But while she thus, according to the proverb, made a number of enemies ungrate mfualpeig peopleer i sons, she, of rank at thesamaned consequencetime, madeam by ul h ti e tu r d o e w o n f course of conduct, which was upon occasions supercilious and arrogant to a degree, and by her unfortunate facility of saying sharp things with the most stinging effect. She certainly pos. ses , ed a rapid and deep insight into human character, and her remarks upon the distinguished persons with whom ,he was acquainted, as well as the many travellers who visited her at Jooa, are always pointed and searching, if not always just. As it may easily be presumed, she idolized her uncle's memory ; yet it cannot be fairly said her praise of him was exaggerated. All admired i p troe a d ss h a ti g hm e e s laog r f e tay l i a na t s i bt ng to him in her statements and reminis cences are of strikin g i n t erest , an d s h e h as b een able to do instances.jus ileitoimesmorFobxe,laienfdininany entertained a sr ong She per sonal regard for hi m .

EXECUTION.—On Monday, at 12 o'clock, Benjamin Ellison, an old man upwards of sixty years of age, who was convicted at the last Cornwall Assizes of the wilful murder of Mil. Ruth Seaman, at Penzance, was executed at Bodmin. The prisoner, who exhibited great firmness, confessed his guilt to the chaplain before ascending the drop. ~--- _ORNII44O, AUGUST 18 1845 rIONDA I AM ER 'CAN NEWS. OF TilE BidTA A.v F 1. t ON FLAGRATION IN NEW YORK. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAT NIGHT. Tile British and North American mail steam-ship Britannia, Captain Hewitt, arrived in the Mersey to-night at seven o'clock, bringing New York papers of the 31st July, Boston of the Ist inst., and Halifax of the 4th. The advices by this arrival are important. Those relating to Mexico and the Texas do not at all warrant the announce ment put forth on the arrival of the Fidelio, of Mexico having declared war against the United States. We regret to announce a destructive fire at St. John's, New Brunswick, which has destroyed property to the amount of 60,000/. The steam-ship Britannia, with dates from Liverpool of the 4th of July, reached Boston on the 19th, and the Great Western, with dates, to the sth, reached New York on the 21st. We have also to announce the extraordinary fact of the steam-ship Cambria, with advices from England, having reached Boston on the 30th, after one of the most extraordi nary passages on record-11 days 9 hours from Liverpool to Boston, including her run into Halifax, and stoppage there to land the mails and passengers. The papers by this arrival are filled with particular details of another great fire which has devastated the city of New York, a fire approaching in area and amount of property lost the great fire in 1835. The scene of the present conflagration borders on that then involved, striking across the city almost to the Hudson river, and destroying many store-houses oc cupied by the first merchants in the city, some three or four hotels, together with several blocks of the finest dwelling houses skirting along the lower end of Broadway. The fire broke out on the morning of the 19th ult., at about three o'clock, in an oil-store occupied by a M. Van Doren, in New-street, a narrow avenue running from Wall street to Beaver-street, parallel to Broadway. The exer tions of the several fire companies on the spot had very nearly succeeded in overcoming the element, when it was found that the fire had communicated to a store-house at the rear of the burning premises, in which was stored a vast quantity of saltpetre or some other combustible material. A few smothered explosions took place, warning the by standers of the impending danger, and barely giving them time to widen the distance between themselves and the burning pile, when the most frightful explosion took place, prostrating some half-dozen warehouses in as many seconds, and throwing masses of burning material high into the air, which, falling through the roofs of the buildings in the neighbouring streets, set all in a blaze immediately. The firemen being prevented, by the fear of a second explosion, from approaching the conflagration for some considerable time, the fire obtained tremendous head-way, spreading in five directions, and defying the utmost endeavours to extinguish or arrest it. It con tinued to spread and rage with astonishing fury till near ten o'clock. A.M., when its further progress was stopped, in some directions by change of wind, in others by intervention of fire-proof roof buildings, in ethers by the " Croton." Some three hundred buildings have fallen a prey to the calamity. comprising the finest part of Broad-street, both sides, a great part of Exchange-place, New-street, Marketfield street, and one-side of Broadway from the Waverley Hotel, corner of Exchange-place, as far as the Bowling-green ; also about three noble dwelling housos on the west side of,Broad way. From the lower comer of Morris-street, Broadway, where the fire crossed, it is no less than 120 feet wide; yet, aided somewhat by the wind, the fire succeeded in baffling all attempts to arrest it there, and would have tone clear down to the Hudson had not a change of wind taken place. The loss by this public calamity is estimated at from 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 dollars, most of which is covered by insurance, and as the loss is divided pretty equally amongst the numerous insurance companies, it is expected that nearly all will be paid, though several will have to wind up their ccticerns in conseq.:ence. . _ It appears a little uncertain how much human life has fallen a sacrifice ; but not fewer than ten or twelve persons are missing, and thought to have been lost. At the time the mail left this steam-ship the firemen were still employed in playing upon the smoking ruins, and in digging out the burnt merchandise. The Annexation Question was finally agreed upon in the Texan Convention on the 4th ult., and Texas now lies under the protecti. n and government of the" Star and Stripes.' Several companies of United States troops have left for the imntiers of the "sew State," partly to repel the encroach ments of the Indians, and partly to:act as a stay against any operations the Mexicans might commence. It was considered very improbable that any demonstration would be made by Mexico, she seeing the utter hopelessness of such a proceeding, nevertheless the U. S. squadron still cruised in the " Gulf," and acted as a damper upon any war like spirit the Mexicans might think proper to display. In the meantime large numbers of emigrants are moving to wards Texas,' and Cie country promises to become, under the new rule, a great cotton-growing country, the coming crop showing a tremendous increase over any former year. In deed the Texan cotton crop has been till now quite a dimi nutive matter; in future, however, she is to rival the old cotton-growing States of the Union, in the qaantity and quality of the staple cultivated within her boundary. Oregon and California still continue to receive their share of emigration, notwithstanding the unfavourable accounts lat6y received of the infertility of those regions. It is now plainly asserted, however, that emigrants can do much better nearer home, that is, not further from the Atlantic than the banks of the Missouri or Mississippi, though, as the taste of the people lies in getting as far from every one else as pos. sible, emigration to the " Oregon" will probably still con. tinue. The girl Henrietta Blanchard, who made an attempt on the life of one Pettiway, at New Orleans, her seducer, has been liberated without trial, public opinion demanding her immediate release. Pettiway, it appears, had recovered somewhat, and had left the scene of the affair. Green, the man who was on trial at Troy, New York State, when the last packet left, for the deliberate poisoning of his wife, has been found guilty, and sentenced to be exe cuted on the 10th September. The sentence will, no doubt, be carried into effect, notwithstanding the growing objection among the public against capital punishment. " ' The principals in the late anti-rent riots in New York State have been liberated on bale for one thousand dollars each. They were fancifully named " Big Thunder" and Little Thunder." The troubles in that quarter have en tirely subsided. A commission is being fitted out by the United States Government, for the purpose of rescuing several white chil dren, stolen by the Cumanche Indians, and now living in slavery among them. The Cumanches inhabit tracts of land lying beyond the interior boundary of Texas, and are proverbial tbr their thieving propensities. The,lllinois State Government has commenced work again at. the Illinois and Michigan Canal, assisted by capitalists in the state. The manufacturing companies of New England have declared their usual half-yearly dividends. From the various reports their affairs appear to be in the most satis factory state. Shares in several of the companies command 50, some 45, 50, 35, &c., per cent. premium. The Pennsylvania papers are rejoicing over the payment of the Pennsylvania dividend. They regard the credit of the State as fully re-established. Two-thirds of the interestc it appeals, is to be paid in cash, and the other third is cheques to be cashed as soon as funds are received. Stock is quoted 754 and . 7a• The proprietors of the Fitchburgh Railroad have declared a dividend of 4 per cent. for the past six months, during five of which the railroad has been in full operation. The electic telegraph en Professor Morse's plan will be in full operation between New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, in the course of two months. The wires are all ready, and will be immediately laid through the streets of New York, on posts twenty feet high. Tire -deaths in New York, for the .week ending 21st ult., amounted to no fewer than 4741 more than 250 above the usual weekly average. Hot weather is stated to be the cause, there being no fewer than 30 cases of coup de sold!, or sun-stroke, besides numerous other cases indirectly proceed ing from the intense heat. The thermometer has stood higher this season in N. Y. than has been known for thirty years, it b, tag up to 104 in the shade on several occasions. The corn crops throughout the length and breadth of the Union, except in Ohio and Michigan, were suffering severely from the intense drought. Cotton is said to look generally pretty well for a more than average crop, though growers were hoping for more rain. Accounts from Matanzas confirm the previous rumour of the great fire at that place. Trade was rather dull. Dates from Port Republicain to the 13th ult. represent the success of the Haytiaa troops against the Dominicans in glowing colours. The island continued in the same state of anarchy which has convulsed it for the last few years. Great excit emen t p reva il e d at Quebec among the lower orders on the 17th u lt., i n c onsequence of a prophecy made by some insane p erson , th a t the remainder of the city would be totally destroyed by tire on that day. Of course no fire oc curred, but the city was in a turmoil for the day. In Montreal, at the latest date, business was rather dull. No transactions to any extent had taken place in flour, and holders seemed inclined to accept rather easier rates. Ti ads in New York, which experienced rather a shock , owing to th e great t i re, h a d b een res umed pretty briskly, and a large fall in trade is in prospect. The transactions in Cotton during the last fortnight had been rather limited. Rates re main the same. Exchange on London was at 110 to 110 1 4, and very firm at that.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 7,000 bales, at previous rates. Shares were heavy, and only a small business was done. The Britannia brings late accounts from the United States as well as from our colonies. There is nothing more said about " war with Mexico," although the Texans had adopted a formal manifesto as to the terms upon which they were willing to annex their country to the United States. It is remarkable that drought had prevailed for some time, and that rain was very much wanted in America, being the reverse of our wants. Nevertheless no positive harm seems to have been done to the crops. The ➢loney market at New York was easy, and Stocks were tolerably firm, though dull. The payment of the interest on the Pennsylvanian Debt would have a good effect. We perceive that railroads were at tracting increased attention among the American capi talists, but we hope parties here will steer clear of any save those projected for our own colonies. The destructive tire at New York is the general theme of conversation among the American merchants. It is most gratifying to notice any private testimony to worth or misfortune, and we are pleased to learn therefore that Mr. Charles Mann, who suffered so severely as the partner of Alderman Johnson, has received from his creditors, in testimony of their esteem, a handsome silver snuff-box, with contents--100 guineas. This is as it should be. The weekly statement of the Bank of England leads us to conclude that among the public generally there is more em ployment for money, while the Bank Directors continue slightly to reduce the circulation. The notes issued were to the amount of 29,141,6051., a decrease of 55,1551. The bullion in both the issue and banking department was 15,669,654/., a diminution of 30,957!. While the public deposits increased 819,4041., the other deposits fell off by 772,4341. _ _ The Public Securities have been much the same to-day. Consols realise 99 1 4 to 99 for present transfer, and 99',4 to IA for Account. The premium on Exchequer-bills is 495. to 518. Bank Stock has been 210 1 .4, and India Stock is quiet at 270. New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. are 102 2 3 / 4 , and the Three per Cents. 99% 3 A. For the Foreign Bonds in general there is absolutely no inquiry. Mexican Stock has been better on the advices from New York, the Actives realising 35 to 35%, and the De ferred 194. Peruvian have realised 39 to 39% ; Spanish and Portuguese are nominal. Dutch Four per Cents. have been 100 to 100%. For Railway Shares the market is much the same as yes terday, and in respect to some of the lines, as the list an nexed will show, rather weak, the state of affairs at Liver pool, where Bear speculations have " knocked up" several parties, being partially felt here. The French Scrip Shares continue in most request. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES Bank Stock 2I O IA ___- 2ll 3 per Cent. Reduced % : 99 % 3 per Cent.

INAUGURATION OF BEETHOVEN. COLOGNE, Aua. 12. Cologne, through which the Royal cortege passed, for the length of a good English league, last evening, en route from the termination of the Anvers Railway to that of the Bonn line, was one vast bower of flowers and garlands, to say nothing of the national and other flags with which the streets were fur nished, as though they had been hung with tapestry. Her Majesty of Prussia preceded the Queen to the castle of Bruhl, a noble chateau, about some fifteen miles beyond Cologne, w here, a little before eight, the royal . party had again united. Here the British Sovereign was received with most characteristic honours. An orchestra, consisting of thirty bands, of twenty performers each, crashed out the National Anthem of our country, following it with " Rule Britannia," and the tatoo swelling from a wilderness of drums, from piano, till it thun dered in forte in magnificent effect. The coart of the palace was brilliant with Chinese lamps, and gay with companies of dancers, who polkaed their good-will offerings as the Eastern damsels of old gave grace and homage. Tuesday dawned with the promise of fine weather, which the noon duly realised. Notwithstanding the multitudes that thronged Bruhl on the evening preceding, long before mid-day Bonn was one crowd of elegantly and singularly arrayed dames and cavaliers. Here was the recherchl toilette of Paris, there the coquettish costumes of the surrounding peasantry, and, above all, the picturesque dresses of the students of the Uni versity, strictly fashioned after the mode of the olden time. The town, the most beautiful I have yet seen in Prussia, was literally wanton in holiday decorations. All the streets were lined with fresh-hewn boughs, of lavish foliage, and streamers of all hues, while the principal square, in which is situated the chief hotels and shops of rare merchandise, was a rich drawing room a/ fresco. Soon after twelve the ceremony of the inau guration commenced in the monstre place, a square adjoining the cathedral—a vast, august building. One end of it is occu pied by the chateau of the Count Von Fiirstenberg, and here the Queen, the:King of Prussia, and their respective suites, re• paired about the same time from the Palace of Bruhl. The cele bration consisted of orations, pronounced to the honour of the great musician, who conferred by his birth harmonious immor tality on the place, and the performance of some of his most favourite compositions. Presently the statue, placed in the eentre of the square—a fine piece of bronze, representing a figure that might serve for the genius of intellect—was unco vered amid the cheers of the assembled enthusiasts, and the roaring of artillery. This over, the royal visitors came for ward in the balcony, from which they had witnessed the cere mony, and received the grateful welcome of the assembly. His Royal Highness Prince Albert came in for a large share of the popular applause. After the ceremonial, the record of the inauguration was signed by the royal witnesses of it, and deposited in Beethoven's tomb, a solemn and most feeling tribute to genius. After the inauguration the Queen attended a concert, in which many of the most distinguished German artists took part, and subsequently returned to the palace of Bruhl, not, however, before honouring the University with a visit. THE LIGHTING OF COLOGNE AND THE SHORES OF THE RHINE. It was long known that the city of Cologne had provided, from its private resources, the munificent sum of six thousand crowns, for the purpose of lighting up their splendid temple and the noble lines of their picturesque city our bards du .Rhin, to do honour to the visit of our fair Queen. As soon as the intention of Queen Victoria was formally announced, the preparations were commenced on the most gorgeous scale, and the night of the 12th of August fixed on for the celebra tion of the most wonderful pyrotechnic festival certainly ever produced in this country. Soon after nightfall partial explosions of fireworks from the shipping and the shore began, and continued for upwards of an hour, as the tuning of the instruments precedes the regular performance. At this time also the rain descended thickly and heavily, but in spite of the weather, every coin of 'vantage, whence the mighty show could be commanded was occupied by persons whose appearance gave good assurance of their condi tion. The moon hid her face, as conscious of the rival she had to contend against, and the inky obscurity spread as if to give deep relief to the effulgence about to come. At nine o'clock the passage across the Rhine was put an end to, in consequence of the bridge of boats being opened to allow the steamers to navigate in front of the city board. There were two of the Company's vessels used in the navigation of the river, the Prin cess of Prussia being appropriated to the service of the sove reigns of England and Prussia. The hour of ten told harmoniously from the city churches when the river on both its banks sent forth the roar of artillery and the blaze of ten thousand coloured fires. It was now that the two Courts were gently falling down the stream abreast of the town. Incessantly rolled the deep diapason of the heavy guns of the batteries, and gleamed the glad fire of countless feint de joie. Anon, in front of the grand landing-place, off which the Queen of England's tender yacht, the Fairy, was moored, vast note of preparation was remarked. By gentle but sure degrees from her ports burnt a dazzling line of light. —the heavens sparkled with a flood of rockets—the towers on the banks of the river blazed up like giant beacons, and the yards of the various craft were manned by the seamen in their holiday attire. The Queen of the Isles comes in the pomp and circumstance of her estate. Hark ! a bell—a quick, sharp, treble startles the ear. Lo !in tracery of rays, such as mines of diamonds, rubies, and emeralds, might have fur nished, that marvel of the olden triumphs of taste and magnificence, the Cologne Cathedral tower bursts upon the wonder-stricken multitudes. The rays of sap phire, and of onyx, and of flowing gold, it strikes dim their vi sion and dumb their wonder. So stricken by a necromancer's wand, on the instant it flames forth in lusty light—a fire of ho nour and of homage such as never yet monarch lighted to the welcome of a brother or a sister sovereign. . . . Haply I may seem to speak of this scene in phrase too highly wrought for sober ears. To those who judge this writing soberly, I can not appeal—to such as had the fortune to witness the event to which it relates, I have but to say, " Alas ! that the vocabulary of language affords no words to record the glories of this night The illumination of the cathedral was the catastrophe of this stupendous scene ; and while yet the spirit of its wondrous in cantations waved its rod of fire around them, Victoria passed in triumph, and with many a loving wish and benediction from 'the lighting of Cologne and the shores of the Rhine.'" THE CEREMONIAL AT COLOGNE. COLOGNE, Ave. 14, 6 A.M. About three o'clock processions of the townspeople, mer. chants, craftsmen, and others, began to centre on the Ca thedral, and bands of lower-girls in picturesque attire, streamed along the streets garland-laden and crowned with wreaths. Also, as of course, music poured forth strains on all sides, and you had assurance of a fete, if it were only in the radiant faces of the multitudes. At four o'clock the bell of the cathedral sounded. About ten minutes after four the royal cavalcade reached the south tower of the cathedral, and then making a round of the whole building, finished and unfinished as its parts are, the Queen entered it, attended by the King of Prussia, and the royal and noble persorages already named as c imposing her suite. All the authorities of the city, civil and ecclesiastical, were in attendance to receive the august party, which was ushered through the cathedral by its functionaries, who pointed out all most worthy of notice, either for its beauty or historical interest. After spending some time beneath its venerable roof, and expressing unqualified approbatim at the magnificence of the scene, her Majesty thence proceeded to view the Museum Trankgrasse, a collection of pit.tures chiefly presented by Professor W ellroff, and remarkable as monuments of a school which had its origin from nature direct, without being fettered through the conventialisms of art. The Queen and her illuatrious host proceeded to the Castle of Stolz mfels. Her Alajesty remains but one night at Sto:zPnfels, but making forced journeys thence, is expected to reach Coburg on Satur day, by way of Mayence and Wiirtzberg.— Advertiser. LATEST PARTICULARS. A gentleman who arrived in London, on Saturday afternoon, by the Triton, after a stormy tassage of fifteen hours, from Ostend, witnessed the departure, from the ralace of Bruhl, on Thursday morning at eleven a.m., of her Majesty and Prince Albert, the King and Queen of Prussia, the King and Queen of the Belgians, &c.. for Bonn, to embark at that town ten Stolzenfeis. Her Majesty was in excellent spirits and health. At Coblmtz the preparations to receive the royal visitors were on the grandest scale. and a general illumina tion was to take place. 'the British royal steamer at Cologne was to ascend the Rhine as far as Mayence, there to wait for the return of the Queen after her visit to Frankfort, on her way home home from the Coburg territory. The weather in Germany and Belgium continued to be very rainy. In the churches, in the last.mentioned country, prayers were ordered for fine weather, and in some districts the bodies of saints had been dissinterred, and exposed at the altars for the cessation of rain. The utter destruction of the potato crop in Belgium is a great calamity, and is equivalent to a failure of the harvest. Apprehensions were also entertained of the fall ing in of the sand embankments on the line of railroad between Liege and Verviers. One of the most interesting events of the late inauguration of the Beethoven statue at Bonn, was the presentation of the degree of doctor of music to Ries, the father of Ferdinand Ries, the pupil of the immortal composer. Dr. Ries is 90 years of age, and was present at all the performances. On the day of his receiving the degree, the patriarch dined with Wegeler, 80 years of age, another fast friend of Beethoven. The English and French journalists present at the Bonn festivities complain bitterly, and, as we are assured, not with out cause, of the want of courtesy of the Committee. The banquet at the Golden Star on the last day was a scene of great riot and confusion, and at one period threatened personal col lisions. The tumult arose from Professor Wolff, of the Jena University, alluding to the Jews, in the course of the speeches he made during the dinner, such being the order of speech making in Germany. Wolff is of the Hebrew persuasion him self, and although a most learned and eloquent man, is disliked for that reason. At the concert at the palace of Bruhl, on Wednesday night, Meyerbeer conducted, and Liszt performed two pianoforte pieces. Some conversation taking place during one of his performances. amongst the royal personages, Liszt stopped suddenly in the midst of the fantasia, and did not conclude it. A similar occurrence took place in St. Petersburg with the pianist, who received a polite intimation from the emperor to withdraw from the Russian dominions. Staudigl, Pischek, Martins (the great tenor, from Berlin), Millie. Tuchek (from the same capital), and Pauline Viardot (sister of Malibran), sung at this concert. Spohr, Balioz, and Fetes, were invited to be present. During the visit of her Majesty at Bonn the Queen walked for half an hour in the garden of the house where Prince Al bert lodged whilst he pursued his studies at the university. Obsen er.
