ARDENT AND INPRISONNICNT OP Till POPS'S
CHAMEIEKLAINB.—ROIIII, JULY 7.—The fiat and second
chamberlains of the Apostolic Palace, the Very Rev.
Girelamo Gigli and Father CanieUi, have been arrested
and confined in the prisons of the Inquisition for having
secretly published in Nome a memorandum justifying
the conduct of Cardinal d'Andres. This memorandum
was largely distributed among the bishops and clergy pre-
sent at the centenary festival. The printer was speedily
discovered, but he alleged in justification the formal order
he had received from the first chamberlain. Nevertheless
it has not yet been made clear whether the second cham-
berlain may not have surreptitiously used the name and
authority of his chief for his own purposes. In addition
to this matter the second chamberlain will have to answer
the charge of complicity in certain political intrigues
against the Pontifical government, documents of a oom-
promising nature having been found at the Quirinal as well
as at his private resideace.—Brufer's Express.

The Sultan of Turkey arrived in London yester-
day afternoon, and met with a reception which, if
not wildly enthusiastic, was at all events hearty
and cordial. The roads through which ho passed
on his way from the railway station to Bucking-
ham Palace, more especially the Mall in St.
James's-park, were crowded with people, and
although theircheers and acclamations had no power
to disturb the habitual placidity of the onental
potentate, they must have been sufficient to convince
him that the friendly feelings exhibited towards
him by the Sovereign and the government are
fully shared by the inhabitants of the metropolis.
The preparations which had been made in
the Charing-crosa station, although sufficient, were
by no means elaborate. Our metropolitan sta-
tions do not very readily lend themselves to
ornamentation; but enough had been accomplished
yesterday to give our imperial visitor a foretaste of
the consideration with which he islikely to be treated
throughout his stay in this country. The western
a-rival platform, at which the train bearing
the royal travellers was to draw up, was
covered with crimson cloth, and the lampposts
were tastefully wreathed with flowers and ever-
greens. At the end nearest the hotel the plat-
form had been separated from the rest of the
enclosure of the station by a solid barrier, which
on the outer side was a mere mass of dead cold
timber, but within presented the appearance of a
thickly planted hedge of evergreens, through which
an infinite variety of wild flowers forced their way
to do honour to the monarch of the East. At the
entrance to the station from Hungerford-bridge,
and in the space ordinarily allotted to cabs and
carriages attending the arrival of trains, there
had been erected two platforms of a somewhat box-
like character, which were early occupied, princi-
pally by ladies, whose beautiful dresses re-
lieved the monotony of the scarlet and crimson
cloth with which the structures were covered, and
contrasted boldly and effectively with the many
coloured flags and banners which surrounded
them, and concealed the ordinarily bare or ad-
vertisement clad walls of this part of the station.
We need hardly say that the Turkish flag was pro-
minent in more situations than one, but the colours
of all nations appeared to have been enlisted in the
service of the decorator, and easily distinguishable
among them was the flag of Belgium, whose
civic soldiers divided with the Sultan the honours
of the day. Undoubtedly the most effective part
of the decorations was that upon the station front
of the hotel. The balcony which runs across the
whole length of she building wax covered with
crimson cloth, which was half concealed by small
festoons of flowers and leaves, the loop of each
festoon embracing a small escutcheon, upon which
the crescent and star in white shone upon a green
ground. The windows of the dining saloon
were draped with red cloth, and each window
was adorned with a sort of cornice of ever-
greens and flowers. Above the exit arch
was displayed the green banner of the Prophet
bearing an inscription in Arabic, and on either side
were trophies composed of the flags of all nations,
in which the crosses of more than ono Christian
country were blended with the crescent of the Mus-
'outman. The platform upon which the illustrious
travellers were to alight was guarded by a railing
hung with scarlet cloth, and ornamented with ever-
greens and white lilies, and the carriage way was
strewn with yellow sand. In this roadway were
drawn up, soon after two o'clock, some half-
dozen of the royal carriages, with the coach-
men end footmen in state liveries ; and
one side of it was lined by a guard of
honour of the Grenadier Guards and the band of
the Coldstreams, which at intervals discoursed
most excellent music. In addition to the plat-
forms which had been provided for spectators the
roofs of several rows of carriages were covered with
eager gazers, and not one of the windows of the
hotel or refreshment-rooms which looked upon the
platforms wm without its occupants.
The guard of honour was under the command of
Colonel Dudley Carleton, and a troop of the
Blues,which was drawn upoutside the station, under
that of Colonel Williams. Sir It. Mayne and the
two other Commissioners of Police, Captains
Labalmondiere and Harris, were in attendance ;
and among the officers of the household of her
Majesty and the Prince of Wales who were present
to receive the illustrious guests wore the Duke of
Beaufort, Masterof the Horse ; Viscount Hamilton,
officiating as Groom of the Stole ; and the Hon.
Chas. Wood.

Precisely at a quarter before three o'clock the
royal train ran into the station, and although at
that moment not a glimpse could be caught of the
Sultan, it was greeted with loud cheering on the
part of the gentlemen and the waving of handker-
chiefs and parasols by the ladies. As soon as the
train was stopped the Prince of Wales stepped
upon the platform, and was immediately followed
by the Sultan, who was at once recognised, and
whose appearance was the signal for a renewed out-
burst of applause. Then came the Duke of Cam-
bridge and the Viceroy of Egypt, and imme-
diately afterwards the suites of the two
illustrious visitors alighting, some actively, some
with more of oriental deliberation, from their car-
riages became mixed together in apparent confu-
sion upon the platform. The Prince of Wales was
in the uniform of a general, and wore across his
breast the broad green ribbon of the Medjidie.
The Sultan is exceedingly like the photographic
portraits which have during the last few days been
exhibited in our shop windows. In stature he is
below rather than above the middle height. In
figure ho is portly, but not heavy; and although his
countenance, the lower part of which is shrouded by a
dark curly beard and moustache, is somewhat want-
ing in expression, the idea which it suggests is
rather that of indolence or indifference than of want
of intelligence or incapacity to be interested. His im-
perial highness wore a dark blue surtout, richly
embroidered with bullion lace upon the chest and
half way up the sleeves. His headdress was a plain
red fez, and by his side he wore a scimetar,
the scabbard of which was of shsgreen. Like the
Prince of Wales he wore the ribbon of the Med-
jidie, and the breast of his surtout was, in addition
to its embroidery, decorated with the stars of that
and other orders of knighthood. The Viceroy of
Fpt is shorter, stouter, and darker, than the
Sultan ; but his glance is much quicker and
brighter, and the expression of his face is more
European in its character than is that of the
Ottoman emperor. His highness's costume was
similar to that of his suzerain, but its embroidery
was less rich, and more of the plain cloth was dis-
cernible in the intervals of its ornamentation. The
Sultan was accompanied by Yousaouf Izzedin
Effendi, his eldest son, and his two nephews,
Hamid Effendi and Murad Effendi, who also wore
the customary blue surtout, with more or less em-
broidery, and the red fez. His imperial
Majesty's suite consists of no less than fifty-nine
persons, and includes the following dignitaries :
His Highness Fuad Pacha, Minister of Foreign
Affairs ; his Excellency Kiamil Bey, Grand
Master of the Ceremonies ; his Excellency Arify
Bey, First Interpreter ; Alifuad Bey, Private
Secretary to the Minister. Imperial Household—
His Excellency Djemil Bey, First Chamberlain ;
Emin Bey, First Secretary ; Halid Bey, Second
Chamberlain ; Hairoullah Effendi, First Almoner,
with five other officers of State. Military Staff—
Rasaim Pacha, Admiral ; Marco Pacha, Principal
Physician Reouf Pacha, Brigadier General,
First Aide-de-Camp' Riza Bey, Colonel Aide-
de-Camp ; Hazif Bey, Colonel ; Salyh Bey,
Lieutenant-Colonel, Aide-de-Camp, with five other
officers of State. Household Ahmed Bey,
Master of the Wardrobe ; Hall Effendi, Hus-
sein Bey, Halil Aga, Said Bey, Edib Effendi,
with twenty-six other officers. These officials
include among their number representatives of

many, if not all, the races which are or have been
subject to the dominion of the Sublime Porte, and
as they stood grouped together upon the platform
their several nationalities were clearly indicated by
the expression of their countenances and their
various costumes. Here were to be seen the keen,
clear features and the handsome uniform of an
lonian • and there the haughty figure and the
lofty caftan of a Circassian. The figure which
among all attracted the most attention was that of '
Hairoullah Effendi, his Majesty's chief almoner,
who wore an extensive cloak and turban, and the
green colour of which garments suggested to those I
who pretended to some acquaintance with the East
that he had either performed the pilgrimage to
Mecca or was a descendant of the Prophet. From
the respect shown to him by all his companions it
was clear that he was a man of importance, and '
not to be confounded with the ordinary attendants
upon the Sultan.
The train stopped a short distance from the
place where the royal carriages were drawn up,
and his Imperial Highness had to walk some little
way before reaching the vehicle which had been pre-
pared for him. As he passed up the platform he
had the Prince of Wales on his right hand, while
the Duke of Cambridge was immediately behind
with one of the great dignitaries. The Viceroy,
who was accompanied by the members of his
own subs, remained a short distance behind.
The bearing of the Sultan, although not without
dignity, was somewhat listless, and he appeared to
pay little attention to, or derive but slight gratifi-
cation from, what was going on. As he moved
a'owly along he was loudly cheered both by the
privileged individuals who had been admitted
into the specially appropriated part of the station,
and by many others who, without any authority at
all, had taken possession of the roofs of carriages
and other points of vantage from which
they might witness his arrival. In response
to these acclamations he repeatedly waved his
right hand with a not ungraceful motion,
but although he two or three times ele-
vated it towards his head, it never reached his
fez. After a short delay ho entered the carriage
appropriated to his reception, and was followed by
the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge.
The principal members of the suite were distributed
in the other vehicles, and the cortege drove off
accompanied by an escort of the Blues, the troops
saluting, the band playing, and the spectators cheer-
ing. As soon as the carriagewhich contained his Im-
perial Highness passed from under the archway
into the courtyard of the station it was received
with a hearty cheer, and similar expressions of wel-
come accompanied the of the illustrious
visitor all the way to gru:gisham Palace. The
route pursued was by Charing-cross, Whitehall,
through the Horse Guards, and along the centre of
the Mall. The whole way was lined with crowds
of people, and at every point the Sultan was
greeted with the heartiest manifestations of public
admiration and welcome. At Buckingham Palace
he was received by some of the great officers of the
household, and was immediately conducted to the
apartments which had been prepared for his re-
ception.
This morning the Sultan will visit her
Majesty at Windsor Castle, and will remain to
luncheon. During his short stay he will occupy the
apartments recently appropriated to the use of the
Queen of Prussia in the York and Lancaster Tower.
He will lunch with the Queen, and will leave the
Castle on his return to town at 2 o'clock. In the
veiling his Imperial Highness will be entertained
by the Prince of Wales at Marlborough-house.
On Monday night he will visit in state the Royal
Italian Opera-house • and on Tuesday the Crystal
Palace. On Wednesday, he is expected to be at
the naval review at Portsmouth. On Thursday
he will be entertained in the City, and on Friday at
the India-office.

The train which brought his Majesty to town
yesterday was accompanied by Mr. E. Watkin,
M.P., chairman of the South Eastern Railway
Company ; Mr. Eborall, the general manager ;
Mr. Knight, the traffic superintendent, and other
principal officials of the line.
