LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 4, 1868. We have now before us the particulars of the fare well dinner to CHARLES DICKENS, and they will be found very interesting. So much attention has been directed to all the details that have been fur nished of this visit to America that the closing scene will not fail to be regarded with pleasure. It is satisfactory to notice that the most perfect success attended the affair, and that the feeling which animated the assembly was throughout of the most cordial and ftieudly character. Mr. GREELEY commenced the speeches of the even ing, and related an interesting anecdote in connection with the object of their meeting. Thirty-four years ago he printed one of Mr. DICKENS'S earlier stories in the first number of the first journal with which his name was connected, and where, in truth, he had met with a real "David Copperfield in Italia." Alluding further as to the manner in which their distinguished guest had elevated himself, he said that he was not ashamed of having come up " from the lower rounds of the ladder of the press," and though none of those present had reached so high, still his suc cess was a sign of hope and encouragement to every one of them. "We are each successful in his triumph in seeing how he has done ; how nobly, how untir ingly he has done it ; with what thorough success he has preached the gospel of humanity, until even nobles and kings have listened in admiration. I say we have in this success of his an encouragement to every one of us, saying ' far up higher.' " When Mr. DICKENS rose to respond the enthusiasn_ and excitement were so great that for some time he could not be heard. During his speech he referred to the extraordinary tales he had heard of himself relating to his doings in America, and the printed news which bore reference to his doings and sayings had amazed him more than any " printed news" he had ever read in his life. All these marvellous tales had been surpassed by the intimation that he was compiling a work on America, which was the more astounding as he had made it well known to his publishers on both sides of the Atlantic that he had positively declared that no consideration would ever induce him to write another book on America. Considerable satisfaction was evidently expe rienced by the remarks which Mr. DICKENS made as to his impressions on that his second visit to America. He desired, he said, whenever oppor tunity offered itself, to express his high and grateful sense of his second reception in America, and to bear his honest testimony to " the national gene rosity and magnanimity." The changes which have taken place since the period of Mr. DICKENS'S last visit across the Atlantic have been striking and almost marvellous. Those years, he admitted, " have not passed without making changes in me, and I am not so arrogant as to sup pose that I have nothing to learn and nothing to correct in extreme impressions since I was here first." This passage in his speech was loudly cheered, and on his return to England Mr. DICKENS declared that he should bear such testimony to the gigantic changes in the country for the benefit of his country men, and also record his noble reception, and this ho should have allied to every copy of the work in which be alluded to America, not in love and cheerfulness, but in justice and honour. Points of difference, of course, there must ever be, hut that is not to be wondered at, and, as it is effectively put here, it rests with the two great nations to uphold the great Anglo-Saxon race and all its achievements before the world. Conseruing the chance of a war ever taking place, Mr. DICKENS referred to the point in the most spirited manner, and with real American force of expression. He said that honest minds and both sides the Atlantic must believe that it would be better for this globe "to be riven by an earth quake, fired by a comet, overrun by an iceberg, and abandoned to the Arctic fox and bear, than that it should present the spectacle of those two great na tions, each of which has in its own way and hour, striven so hard and so successfully for freedom, ever again being arrayed the one against the other." Mr. DICKENS read for the last time before an American audience at Steinway Hall, and delivered at the end some impressive remarks. The shadow must pass, he said, which had been hovering over them for some time, and in reading PEGOTTY'S words he had felt their full significance, (g M y future life lies over the sea." The relations be tween him and his American listeners must be broken for ever, in actual meaning, but in thought and memory they would long survive. By the winter fireside, or in the green English summer weather, Mr. DICKENS has declared that he will often recall to mind the assemblies that have lis tened to his words; and we belLve that the feeling will be reciprocated, and that in long years to come, when the shadows of life have fallen and buried in oblivion much that now seems important around us, there will be many to re member this visit of our great novelist and humorist to the far West, and that they will tell their chil dren and impart to strangers the success which attended his voyage across the broad Atlantic, and it is not expecting too much to say that even now we may derive great benefit in our mutual re lations with America from the kindly feelings and Luxuriant and Beautiful Hair is the distinguishing badge of Youth."

Red Bull Wharf, Angel-passage, 93, Upper Thames street, London, E.C. THE StTN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1868 reciprocal tastes that have been encouraged, for literature has formed a neutral ground on which to meet. The anniversary dinner of the Royal Academy is always one of the most interesting festivals of the year. It is one of those auspicious occasions which gather together round one hospitable board the foremost men of the day. Princes of the State and Ministers of the Crown are surrounded by those who claim the royalty of genius, by the agents of a power not ;less mighty, though less tangible, than that of the successful statesman. There are as sembled, too, those men who have won distinction in other walks of life, who have investigated the mysteries of nature as well as discovered the secrets of art, who have followed more material professions with that ability and that per severance which almost infallibly command success. The lawyer, the general, the surgeon, the politician mingle with the sculptor, the painter, and the author, while that civic power which plays so useful a part in our constitutional system is not left unre presented. England could hardly, indeed, find a more worthy assemblage of her " representative men," of the sons who have brought to her as well as to themselves fame, and wealth, and power, than is to be found in the annual banquet which in the opening days of merry May happily inaugurates the great pictorial exhibition of the season. Saturday's festival was a more than usually bril• liant one, and there were several circumstances which heightened the general interest. The Prince of IVALEs was present to receive a cordial welcome on his return from Ireland, and to join in the re joicings over his brother's fortunate escape. Then, too, there was the successful termination of the AbyssiniancamPaign for matter of general congratula tion,NN hile the circumstances more particularlybelong ing to the event of the day deserve especial notice. It is possible, we may hope indeed probable, that it is the last time the dinner will be given in Trafalgar squate. On the 10th of December next the Academy will have completed its first century, and, its members, while looking back with just pride upon their past history, are eager to celebrate their centenary by removing to their new galleries at Burlington House. If the technical difficulties which always oppose themselves to such changes can be got rid of in time, it is hoped that an exhi bition selected from the works of all the members of the Academy from its foundation, to the present day may be opened on the 10th of December. Such an exhibition would be the finest memorial of the past, while it would afford a most interesting and valuable opportunity for the stu ly and compa rison of the works cf our natiomd painters during the last hundred years. . _ _ The Lord Chancellor, who, in the unavoidable absence of Mr. DisizAELl, returned thanks for her MAJESTY'S Ministers, referred to the creation of the Academy in 1768, and remarked that it was a pre decessor of his—Lord CAMDEN—Who revised and settled its first code of laws at the time that he was holder of the Great Seal. He remembered being told by another predecessor, the late Lord LYNDHURST, that in early life he had derived much pleasure and advantage from attending in that Academy the lectures of Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS. In tne nistory of the Royal Academy, there is, as Lord CAIRNS observed, a specially distinctive feature. It is the only academy of the kind in Europe which has not been maintained by the State. It has been almost from the first self-supported, and yet it has done good service to the public cause. " I look back," said Lord CAIRNS, " on the history of the Royal Academy for the _last 100 years as the bright belt of light which has shone athwart .this century of art, concentrating and bicdiug together those rays and flashes of geuiu3 which otherwise would have been dispersed, or even ex tinguished." In its new sphere of action we may hope that its influence will be yet more powerful for good, since it will have greater scope and be less fettered. At present the mere task of selection becomes from the restricted space painful and invidious. The President on Saturday gave a few particulars of the difficulties attending this duty. The works of art sent for exhibition amounted this year to the number of 3,011. The pictures alone amounted to 2,683. With the closest pack ing the number which the committee have been able to get on the walls is but 896, while the pictures accepted and not hung are 180. The rejection of so many works of art must, as Sir FRANCIS GRANT observed, necessarily cause much irritation, and if the academicians have sometimes given reason for c omplaint, it is evident that by the mere deficiency of space alone they are often compelled to be un gracious. At the same time there are improve ments which might be made, and which will no doubt be made, in the constitution of the Academy, and it gives us good hope of future reforms when we see that the recommendations of the Royal Commission, which at first excited some dis- pleasure at the council table, have since been adopted one by one. The academy has achieved for itself a proud position, and it has succeeded in doing much for art, but there is yet more to be done which the vigour and experience it has acquired will better fit it to do. The Archbishop of YORK, in an excellent speech, pointed out the beneficial in fluence which art was capable of exercising on the great body i of the people. " The Academy," he said, 4 , had during its first century done much to raise art, and he hoped that in the next century they would do as much to popularise it. The contemplation of such works as were to be seen on the walls was (he said) very good for cultivated men. Could it do nothing for the uncultivated ?" Referring espe cially to a town in his own diocese—Sheffield— he said that the preacher, and the teacher, and the essayist were all doing their best against the bar barism which existed there, and thathe believed art also could do something. The picture" Worn Out " in this year's exhibition shows how powerfully the painter's skill can touch that magic sympa thetic chord which " makes the whole world akin." Near the close of the evening the toast of the Royal Society was responded to by Sir RODERICK MURCHISON, one of whose ancestors, drawn by no less a pencil than that of Sir EDWIN LAND SEER, adorns this year's Academical exhibition . Sir FRANCIS GRANT, in proposing the toast, com pared the firmness of the staunch old Jacobite to the resolute determination with which his descen dant had combated the universal opinion respecting the fate of Dr. LIVINGSTONE. Sir :toDEP.ICK himself expressed his hope that at the next anniversary dinner of the Academy they woull have among them not, " the late Dr. LIVINGSTONE ' of last year's catalogue, but the living LIVINGS TONE: himself--a hope in vvliich all must join. CRYSTAL PALACE.—The Great k •Moral Festival of 5,000 voices will be held at the Crystal Palcco to-mor row, commencing at three o'clock, under• the dioction of Mr. G. W. Martin.

LATEST INTELL WINCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) STOPPAGE OF A PRESTON BANK. PRESTON, Monday Morning. The bank of Messrs. Roskell, Arrowsmith, and Kendall, in this town, suspended payment this morning.

Mr. Boutwell opened the argument for the pro secution, and declared the Tenure law to be con stitutional, and that President Johnson bad no right to violate the law in order to obtain a judicial de cision on its constitutionality. The President was bound to enforce, but had no right to question the acts of Congress. Mr. Johnson had violated the Tenure Law, and thereby the Constitution. The assertion that he had sought legal aid was a pretext ; his object was to obtain despotic control of the Go vernment offices for corrupt purposes, and to recon struct the Union in the interest of the rebels. The advice of the Cabinet could not justify the President in defying a violation of the laws of the land. The evidence regarding Mr. Johnson's speeches went to show that a man capable of making such speeches was unfit to hold the office of President. The Se nators, in their verdict, had no right to be governed by their private opinions of the expediency or con stitutionality of the Tenure Law. The charge had been sustained by the evidence, and a verdict of Guilty would bring peace to the country. The Senate agreed that all the counsel and mana gers should deliver or file arguments. It is announced that Attorney-General Stan berrs continued illness will probably prevent his further participation in the defence. General Logan read a printed argument, declar ing that the object of Nit. Johnson was the despotic control of the public officers, and the removal of Mr. Stanton was a clear violation of the Tenure Law and the Constitution. The President averred good intentions, but any criminal might make the same pretence. There are indications that the new Constitution has been adopted in South Carolina by a majority of 30,000 votes. THE WEST AFRICAN MAILS. LIVERPOOL, May 4. The West African mail steamer Lagos arrived in he Mersey to-day. She brings 32 passengers and L,208 ounces of gold dust. The different stations on the coast were very free from sickness. The war between the natives at Cape Coast Castle continues. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SUNDAY, May 3. The optimists are in the ascendant to-day. In the first place the Japan difficulty has been got over. Some weeks Igo eleven of the crew of a French ship were murdered at Kobi,and it was feared that we were in danger of a Japanese war. But the Mikado has proved more reasonable than the Tycoon proved to your remonstrances on the murder of Mr. Richardson. Twenty Japanese have been beheaded, and £22,500 have been paid in compensation. So that little " black spot " has been dissipated. Another affair, which a few hours ago threatened to give us trouble, now seems certain to bo arranged. Our Consul at Tunis had drawn up an agreement by which the Bey agreed to preserve the rights of his foreign credi tors (chiefly French), but at the last moment his High ness refused to sign the document. Thereupon our Consul hauled down his flag, and refused to hold any diplomatic relations with the Tunisian Government. The France, in mentioning this circumstance, kindly insinuated that English intermeddling was at the bottom of the affair. It now appears that, so far from this being the case, England and Italy have a perfect understanding with France, and we agreed upon the terms which they mean to exact from the semi-barbarous African sovereign. It is pretty cer tain, therefore, that we shall not hear much more of this matter. As to more important matters, they too are couleur de rose this evening. If we are to believe the reports current to-day, Bismarck has voluntarily informed our ambassador at Berlin, M. Benedetti, that the Prussian Government will not allow the Customs Parliament to sanction any measure opposed to the Treaty of Prague. This declara tion is offered, no doubt, in consequence of the attempt which is being made by the representatives from Baden to get up an address in favour of the unifica tion of Germany. I presume that our Government will be wise enough to rest contented with this assurance, and not have the imprudence to offer any objection to the pro posal now before the Parliament for granting to Germans the right of domicile in any part of Germany. This is a purely domestic matter, though, of course, it will tend to bring about eventually that unification which France by ao means relishes. It is believed that the Emperor will make several visits within the next few weeks. After M. journey to Orleans, Ise will, it is hoped, go to the agricultural show at Rouen ; then to the International Maritime Exhibition at Havre ; and the Boulognese have asked him to open a new dock. He will thus have abundant opportunity for making pacific speeches, if the spirit moves him to do so. M. Baudrillart has an article upon the expeAei speech at Orleans. The new editor of the Constitutionnel says that ae does mot know if tie expectation is well founded ; but 'le believes in peace, not merely because he wishes :t, but because the Emperor is peacefully inclined. lie admits that armed peace is a necessity which France may accept for patriotic reasons 'without loving it as a thing good in itse:f, "but it renders impossible all serious economy" Some persons say that short and successful war would be better than an armed peace. "No doubt it would," says M. BaudriPart ; but while patriotism forbids us to doubt that it would be suc lessful (and in reality all Europe believes this), would it be short? Must we not expect checks, such as even Louis KIV. and the First Napoleon sustained? M. Baudril 'art goes on to express his surprise at those who attribute warlike intentions to the sovereign who made peace in the Crimea and at Villafranca, m mei case against the wishes of his ally, He then goes on to show how many times war has been predicted, and how often those predictions have failed. ' The army is ready, but where is the war? If there is lot sufficient security in Europe to arrive at a common and desirable understanding for an immediate disarmament, there are no longer causes of war which should justify 113Prehensions and leave the public in a state )f anxious disquietude." M. Baudrillart goes m to ask " Who wants was ? Certainly not England, with Fenianism to deal with ; certainly not Russia, with its costly expenditure on public works, an d bleedingXoland that would arouse to a terrible awakening the day that a European war broke out ; certainly not Austria, intent upon healing the wounds sustained two years ago ; certainly not Italy, with her financial diffi eulties." The article then goes on to chaff the young ardent spirits who are always for sounding the trumpet even in full peace. They may safely be left to talk of war over the beer-tables of Alsace. It would be a more serious matter if the officers desired war with that passionate avidity which has been attributed to them. But they do not desire it. If war broke out they would fight with spirit ; but they are men of their time, are patriots breathing the air of a more humane civilisation than was inspired by .out veterans. The elite of the army is in unison with civilian France. It has the same spirit, and beat with the same heart. The alarmists may, there fore, calm themselves. If the Emperor speaks at Orleans, he will, though under the shadow of the warrior heroine of France, speak with quite another spirit than prevailed then. The Emperor is the representative of the modern spirit. If he is the heir of the heroism of France, he also personifies its reason ; his language will know how to ally them. Such is the substance of this remarkable and very able article, which occupies three columns in the Constitu- Gonne,. It is a highly favourable symptom of peace. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post, writing m Saturday at 6 a.m., was very gloomy. What perma nent hope of peace could there be with an army of 1,200,000 men in France, one of 1,428,000 in Prussia, one of 1,466,000 in Russia, and Austria preparing to establish one of 1,000,000 " Every Government on the Con tinent (almost without exception) wants money, all are increasing their taxation, nearly all asking for loans ; commerce languishing ; food dear, and in some quarters of the world populations have this year suffered from almost starvation. This is no exaggerated picture of what has followed the great Univer sal Exhibition at Paris, which was to do so much for man kind. Such a peace as the world now enjoys is surely as bad as war. Public opinion is speaking out more loudly every day, and finance is telling most Governments that their warlike expenditure mast be limited. These are the ply favourable symptoms which come with the month of May." But a paragraph dated an hour later is of a wholly different tone. The corresponded says "I have received today a communication from Berlin of con siderable importance, and which, I think, m ay be depended upon. The French Government has for some time past shewn considerable anxiety a s t o the political results which might grow out of the de liberations of the Customs Parliament with reference to the possibility of that assembly voting further an. nexations to the Prussian Crown. lam now informed that Count Bismarck has assured the French Ambassador at Berlin that the Customs Parliament will not be allowed to entertain any suggestions which might offend the Treaty of Prague. Under such circumstances the last apparent and immediate danger of a rupture between France and Prussia is removed." If this be true, the present mock disarmament of one per cent. will, of course, be succeeded by a genuine one of not less than ten per cent. Our wishes are stronger than our expectations. The Paris correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, whose mot d'ordre is always " peace," says that while still believ ing in peace, he is bound to say that "money is being spent at Cherbourg and elsewhere with a perfectly reckless disregard of the estimates." He presumes that the peccant Ministers will be brought to book during the discussion on the estimates. " In the meantime the expen diture and the haste to complete the naval works in every branch are great facts—great facts, certainly ; but still I believe only efforts to act on the maxim—' If you wish for peace, arm '—which the Imperial Government has owned to be its aim. I confess the question is bristling with contradictions and difficulties. A very wellinformed man, who is compelled to study the subject, tells me that France must fight. She has spent so much money on sailors and soldiers that one fine day the people will say •Eh bien, let us pay on, but do give us something for our money.' " It is rumoured that the Austrian Government has made proposals on behalf of a disarmament, and it is sup posed that the recent granting of furloughs, "more apparent than real," by the Prussian War Minister, may have been partly due to Baron von Beust's representations. The Provincial Correspondence, a Prussian journal, denies this, but says that the recent reduction of the army (by 12,000 men) is a proof of the pacific intentions of the Government, and that there is no serious question at issue between the Governments f Europe. The Prince of Prussia continues to be the object of the most enthusiastic reception. At Parma, Bologna, and Florence the acclamations with which he was received at Turin have been repeated. To Prince Napoleon the frenzy, as it seems to him, is insupportable, and he refuses to go on to Florence, 'and expcse himself to the humiliating con. trast between the reception given to him and that given to his rival. A correspondent mentions that the French residents at Florence are completely scandalised by this anti-French manifestation, and that one of them remarked to some Italians who were cheering the hero of the day, "You want foresight." The Italiani answered, "That may be, but we do not want memory. We remember that your troops are still in Rome." The Etendard says that the Powers are at this moment negotiating with the Sultan for the return to their own country of the Cretan refugees who are now in Greece, and in a state of great poverty and distress. The Etendard declares that this is the only question upon which negotiations have passed. MR. CBARLIES DICKENS'S FAREIY ELL TO AMERICA.

(From the United Ssrvice Gazette of April 25, 1868.) An act of •justice has at last been done by the Admiralty in the promotion of Commander Bed ford Pim to the rank of Captain. An enumeration of the services of this distinguished officer would serve to show how hardly advancement in the Royal Navy is earned when unaccompanied by private in fluence. Before attaining the rank of Lieutenant, Captain Pim served in all quarters of the globe, but this his first step came by seniority, and, moreover, he passed the best examination of his day at college. He volunteered and was employed in three Arctic ex peditions, and was the connecting link of the North- West Passage, saving from starvation and death the officers and crew of H.M.S. Investigator when hope lessly beset in the ice. He afterwards served with distinction in the Russian and last Chinese wars, and was wounded on three occasions, twice severely, once receiving six bullet wounds. Captain Pint is favourably known as an author and writer of considerable ability. He has devoted much time, energy, and money during the last six years to his great project of opening a transit through Nicaragua, and which is now in a fair way of being carried out ; in addition to this, Captain Pint has taken quite a lead in the development of the commercial resources of Central America, and to his business ability and organisation we are in debted for the successful introduction of more than one undertaking in that part of the world. Capt. Pim has made two efforts to obtain a seat in Parliament ; his last attempt at Totues deserved success, if only for the gallantry displayed iu at tacking the pocket borough of the then First Lord of the Admiralty. We heartily wish Captain Pim may succeed in the object of his ambition the next time he enters the lists ; for men of his calibre and thorough business knowledge are sadly wanted in the House of Commons. At present there are nearly seventy members of Parliament more or less closely connected with the army, but not seven who know anything of seafaring matters, a state of affairs in the councils of this great maritime nation which every well-wisher of his country must desire to see remedied. been a success of the most decided character. The public interest in them has never abated, and his closing reading in New York last evening was given to as overflowing and appreciative an audience as that which listened to the first one in Boston six months ago. The American people know Mr. Dickens better, and he knows them better, than ever before, and it is evi- dent that on both sides the admiration has been vastly increased during his half-year's sojoura in this country. Mr. Dickens's friends who are con- netted with the American Press bade hire farewell at a banquet at Delmonieo's, in New York, on April 18, the gathering being said to he the largest and most influential assemblage of n ewspaper men ever seen in America. Two hundred gentle men, from all parts of the country, sat down at table, and, Horace Greeley presiding, addresses were made by Henry J. Raymond, George W. Curtis, Wiliam H. Hurlburt, Charles Eliot Norton, and several others. Mr. Dickens was somewhat indisposed, but he made on thepccasion a characteristic address, so full of genuine affection for America and her people ,hat it has silenced all cavillers. Had he made this speech on his first arrival here it might have been thought that he desired to propitiate favour, but his making it on the eve of his departure is taken as a renewed proof of sincerity. As his farewell to the United States Mr. Dickens said : " Gentlemen,--I cannot do better than take my cue from your distinguished prasident, and refer in my first remarks to his remarks in connection with the old, natural association between you and me. When I received an invitation from a private asso ciation of working members of the press of New York to dine with them to-day, I accepted that compliment in grateful remembrance of a calling that was once my own, and' in loyal sympathy towards a brotherhood which, in the spirit, I have never quitted. (" Good, good," and applause.) To the wholesome training of severe newspaper work, when I was a very young man, I constantly refer my first successes ; and my sons will hereafter tes tify of their father that he was always steadily proud of that ladder by which he rose. (Great applause.) If it were otherwise, I should have but a very poor opinion of their father, which, perh a p s , upon the whole, I have not. (Laughter and cheers.) Hence, gentlemen, under any circumstances,this com pany would have been exceptionally interesting and gratifying to me. But whereas I suppOsed that, like the fairies' pavilion in the " Arabian Nights" it wouli be but a mere handful, and I find it turn out, Lke the same elastic pavilion, capable of compre- heading a multitude, so much the more proud am I of the. honour of being your guest; for you will readily believe that the more widely representative of the press in America my entertainers are, the more I must feel the goolwill and the kindly senti ments towards me of that vast institution. (Ap plause.) Gentlemen, so much of my voice has lately been heard in the land, and I have for up wards of four hard winter months so contended against what I have been sometimes quite admir ingly assured was ' a true American catarrii'— (laughter)—a possession which I have throughout highly appreciated—(renewed laughter)—though I might have preferred to be naturalised by any other outward and visible signs—(shouts of laughter)—l say, gentlemen, so mach of my voice has lately been heard that I might have been con tented with troubling you no further from my pre sent standing-point, were it not a duty with which I henceforth charge myself, not only here, but on every suitable occasion whatsoever and wheresoever, to express my high and grateful sense of my second reception in America, and to bear my honest testi mony to the national generosity and magnanimity. (Great applause.) Also, to declare how astounded I have been by the amazing changes that I have seen around me on every side— changes moral. changes physical, changes in the amount of l an d . subdued and peopled, changes in the rise of vast new cities, changes in the growth of older cities almost out of recognition, changes in the graces and amenities of life, changes in press, without whose advancement no advance ment can be inade.,anywhere. (Great applause.) Nor am I, believe me, so arrogant as to suppose that in five and twenty years there have been no changes in me, and that I had nothing to learn and no extreme impressions to correct when I was here first. (A voice, " Noble," and applause.) And, gentlemen, this brings me to a point on which I have, ever since I landed here last November, ob served a strict silence, though tempted sometimes to break it, but in reference to which I will, with your good leave, take you into my confidence now. (Laughter and applause, and cries of " Silence.") Even the press, being human—(laughter)—may be sometimes mistaken or misinformed, and I rather think that I have in one or two rare instances known its information to be not perfectly accurate with reference to myself. (Laughter and applause,) Indeed, I have now and again been more surprised by printed news that I have read of myself than by any printed news that I have ever read in my present state of existence, (Laughter.) Thus, the vigour and perseverance with which I have for some months past been collecting materials for and hammering away at a new book on America have much asto nished me—(renewed laughter)—seeing that all that time it has been perfectly well known to my publishers on both sides of the Atlantic that I posi tively declared that no consideration on earth should induce me to write one. But what I have intended, what have resolved upon (and this is the confidence I seek to place in you) is, on my re turn to England, in my own person, to bear, for the behoof of my countrymen, such testimony to the gigantic changes in this country as I have hinted at to-night. (Immense applause.) Also, to record that wherever I have been, in the smallest places equally with the largest, I have been received with unsurpassable politeness, delicacy, sweet temper, hospitality, consideration, and with unsurpassable respect for the privacy daily enforced upon me by the nature of my avocation here and the state of my health. (Applause.) This testimony, so long as I live, and so long as my de scendants have any legal right in my books, I shall cause to be republished, as an appendix to every copy of those two books of mine in which 1 have referred to America. (Tremendous applause.) And this I will do and cause to be done, not in mere love and thankfulness, but because I regard it as an act of plain justice and honour. (Bravo, and cheers.) Gentlemen, the transition from my own feelings towards and interest in America to those of the mass of my countrymen seems to be a natural one ; but whether or no, I make it with an express object. I was asked in this very city, about Christ mas time, whether an American was not at some dis advantage in England as a foreigner. The notion of an American being regarded in England as a foreigner at all, of his ever being thought of or spoken of in that character,was souncommonly incongruous and absurd to me that my gravity was, for the moment, quite overpowerel. (Laughter.) As soon as it was restored, I said that for years and years past I hoped I had had as many American friends and re ceived as many American visitors almost any Eng lishman living— (applause)—and that my unvary ing experience, fortified by theirs, was that it was enough in England to be an American to be received with the readiest respect and recognition anywhere. Hereupon, out of half-a-dozen people, suddenly spoke out two, one an American gentleman, with a cultivated taste for art, who, finding himself on a certain Sunday outside the walls of a certain historical English castle, famous for its pictures, was refused admission there, ac cording to the strict rules of the establishment on that day, but who, on merely representing that he was an American gentleman, ou his travels, had, not to say the picture gallery, but the whole castle placed at his immediate disposal. (Laughter.) The other was a lady, who, being in London, and having a great desire to see the famous reading room of the British Museum, was atsurcd by the -d► English family with whom she stayed that it was unfortunately impossible, because the place was closed for a week, and she had only three days to stay. Upon that lady's going to the Museum, as she assured me, alone to the gate, self-introduced as an American lady, the gate flew open, as it were, magically. (Laughter and applause.) I am unwillingly bound to add that she certainly was young and exceedingly pretty. (Laughter.) Still, the porter of that institution is of an obese habit—(laughter)--and, according to the best of my observation of him, not very impressible. (Great laughter and cheering.) Now, gentlemen, I refer to these trifles as a col lateral assurance to you that the Englishman who shall humbly strive, as I hope to do, to be in Eng land as faithful to America as to England herself, has no previous conceptions to contend against. (" Good, good !" and cheers.) Points of difference there have been, points of difference there are, points of difference there probably always will be between the two great peoples. But broadcast in England is sown the sentiment that those two peoples are essentially one— (great applause) --and that it rests with them jointly to uphold the great Anglo-Saxon race, to which our president has re ferred, and all its great achievements before the world. (" Bravo," and applause.) And if 1 know anything of my countrymen—and they give me credit for knowing something—if I know any thing of my countrymen, gentlemen, the English heart is stirred by the fluttering of those Stars and Stripes, as it is stirred by no other flag that flies except its own. (Tremendous applause, and three cheers.) If I know my countrymen, in any and every relation towards America, they begin, not as Sir Anthony Absolute recommended that lovers should begin, with " a little aversion," but with a great liking and a profound respect—(applause)-- and whatever the little sensitiveness of the moment, or the little official passion, or the little official policy now, or then, or here, or there, may be, take my word for it, that the first enduring, great, po pular consideration in England is a generous construction of justice. (" Bravo," and cheers.) Finally, gentlemen, and I say this subject to your correction, I do believe that from the great majority of lione.t minds on both sides there cannot be absent the conviction that it would be bAter for this globe to be riven by an earth quake, fired by a comet, overrun by an iceberg, and abandoned to the Arctic fox and bear, than that it should present the spectacle of these two great nations, each of which has, in its own way and hour, striven so hard and so successfully for freedom, o'er again being arrayed the one against the o ther. (Tumultuous applause, the company rising to their feet and greeting the sentiment with enthusiasm.) Gentlemen, I caanot thank your president enough or you enough for your kind reception of my health and of my poor remarks, but, believe me, I do thank you with the utmost fervour of which my soul is capable." (Great applause.) The band then played " God Save the Queen, ,, the company joining in it with enthusiastic voices. ,-F.,>tirtulfar. HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, May 3• The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise , drove out yesterday afternoon. _ _ The other members of the R o y a l F am ily also went out.

THE LATE VOLUNTEER REVIEW 421 PORTSMOUTH. The official reports on this review are published' Lieut.-General Sir George Buller, in his report , describes the amount of force and the character of the manceuvres of the day. He praises the mann er in which they were done, and says " Major-General the lion. James Lindsay, In spector General of the Reserve Forces, was indefa tigable in all th e arrangemen t s prev i ous to and o 0 the day of the review, a ssisted, too, by his activeand efficient staff officers, and I may add that the appointment of this officer will be of essential val ue _ in increasing the general efficiency of the volunt eer corps. " As a general observation, in conclusion, 1 may state, although with some exceptions, that the 10- struction drill, the practice of the simple deploy ments, the oblique and direct echelon movement' the observance of strict silence during movemen t ,' and the cessation of fire when ordered are want,in„T and not sufficiently considered, and without Wet,,v no volunteer force would be of much avail, if r.; quired to take its place in the field with regec e troops. The simple rules of skirmishing, tool toy long advantage of cover, and not remaining 1 1": 4 , long in it, should be inculcated, for without ti' t knowledge generally no lesson is taught or learn by the assembly of large bodies for sham fights. 1 ,0 " I beg to bring also under the notice of ' 0 royal highness the efficient assistance rendered, ° this occasion by the mayor and c i v il authorit 3e3 and which insured the success of the day." The Duke of Cambridge a nd Sir John Paki l !,,; ton both expressed complete s a ti s faction with " report. An attempt has been made, says the Daily P ie : graph, to excite sectarian animosity by the announcoa iell that the official invitation forwarded to Cardinal c elloll o from the Castle, on the occasion of the Prince of 'W ifj e % visit, was addressed by the Premier's directions to ~)0 Excellency the Cardinal Archbishop of Dublin. 11 ,, 1 0 f sting of the appellation resided in the two little wordS Dublin." No doubt, if the impotent Ecclesiastical Titri., Bill had ever been anything but a dead letter, an Lig .1.5 11 Minister could not have described the Cardinal as A rc : bishop of Dublin. But that ill-advised act has long D. ': fallen into disuse, and is now about to be formally' scinded. Under these circumstances, the Record i t " € , e 4 would be puzzled how to describe the Primate of the if' t Catholic Church in terms which would not be inconsi °t ij ell e with the assumption that in these realms the exists n 9 of the Papacy is not officially recognised. Styled by name, a cardinal would be offensive to the " No P c P, e ltil party ; and even if the prelate had been a ddressed ti t the curt simplicity of a Quaker's letter, the Pr °t .. .„ eS ies o Electoral Union would still h ave been indignant u to the superscription had been couched in such terms leo render the invitation an insult and not a co mplimen t les t real head and front of the offending is that the Cart`,lo, sat as an honoured guest at the Prince of Wales's The recognition thus given was as gracious as it liet te, complete. On account of some question of okief:n eo Cardinal Cullen had, down to the occasion of the Pr ' C veC visit, never dined at the Castle. The difficulty/ Neliateeot it may have have been, has now been suecessfulli;lie over, and both at the conversazione of the Roya l P th e Society and at the visit to the Hospital °' 01 ,00 Mater Misericordite, his eminence wore the rod c r to - of State belonging to his office.
