Aunt Polly was the first away, closely attended by Selim,
My Hobby, Terror, Chasseur d'Afrique, and Redan, in the
order we have given them. They ran thus to the Gros-
venor turn, when the leader gave way, and her place was
taken by Selim, who, with Terror at his quarters, came
into the straight several lengths in advance of Redan, who
bad been gradually making up his lost ground. At the dis-
tance Osborne brought up Redan, who had both his horses
safe at the enclosure, and won very cleverly by half a
length. Selim defeated Terror by three lengths for second ;
a bad fourth.

all the statues in this court, contributed by the
natives of lands where the fine arts were naturalised
thousands of years ago, the two finest statues should
be the productions of American artists. But they
have both received their inspiration under Italian
skies, in presence of the great models of ancient
Greece and Rome. Hawthorne's description, in the
" Transformation," of the Faun of Praxiteles has
been quoted as in a great measure applicable to this
masterpiece of Miss Hosmer. Mr. Hawthorne
writes :

"The Faun is the marble image of a young man having
his right arm on the trunk or stump of a tree ; one hand
hangs carelessly by his side; in the other he holds the frag-
ment of a pipe or some such sylvan instrument of music.
His only garment—a lion's skin, with the claws upon his
shoulder—falls halfway down his back, leaving the limbs
and entire front of the figure nude. The form thus dis-
played is marvellously graceful, but has a fuller and more
rounded outline, more flesh and less of heroic muscle than
the old sculptors were wont to assign to their types of mas-
culine beauty. The character of the face corresponds with
the figure ; it is most agreeable in outline and feature, but
rounded and somewhat voluptuously developed, especially
about the throat and chin ; the nose is almost straight, but
very slightly curves inward, thereby acquiring an inde-
scribable charm of geniality and humour. The mouth,
with its full yet delicate lips, seems so nearly to smile out-
right that it calls forth a responsive smile. The whole
statue conveys the idea of an amiable and sensual creature,
easy, mirthful, apt for jollity, yet not incapable of being
touched by pathos. Miss Hosmer's Faun is in a reclining
position, and is represented just at the moment when he is
dropping asleep—his left arm falls carelessly over the
stump of a tree, against the lower part of which he is lean-
ing ; the bead, thrown back, rests on his left shoulder, the
legs are crossed, and the right hand lies upon the calf of
the left leg, from which it appears to be gradually slipping
as the muscles become more and more relaxed under the in-
fluence of sleep. His sylvan pipe has fallen from his grasp,
and this, with a bunch of grapes, an oaken staff, and a
lizard crawling round the stump of the tree, form appro-
priate accessories to the figure of the sportive and frisky
Faun. Beside the Faun is seated a baby Satyr, full of fun
and mischief, who is busily intent on tying into a knot the
tail attached to the lion's skin that constitutes the Faun's
only covering. This is a capital little figure, full of life,
truth, and vigour."

The other statues, most admirable for their power
of expression, and their delicate chiselling, are the
" Camilla" by Pandiani, of Milan;' "The Woman
taken in Adultery," by Magni, of the same city,
and his " Singing Girl ;" and Mr. Kirk's statuette
of " Sappho." The most striking work in the col-
lection is the colossal statue of Pius IX., writing the
rescript establishing the dogma of the Immaculate
Conception. It stands in the Great Hall, nearly
facing the dais, and at a distance His Holiness
seemed to be giving his benediction to the Prince
of Wales, or praying for the success of the Exhibi-
tion. Most of the statues dome from Italy ; very
few are the works of British artists.

There are three picture galleries, one devoted to
the ancient masters, one to the modern English
school, and one to foreigners. In the last, which
is the gallery over the statuary, there are choice
pictures from Italy, Spain, France, Germany, and
Belgium. The British school is placed in the smaller
concert-room to the north of the Central Hall. It
contains a larger number of celebrated works, such
as Mulready's " The Wolfe and the Lamb," " The
Last In,"—a village schoolmaster receiving with an
ironical bow a schoolboy who has come in late ;
"The Village Buffoon," "LA Cottage:lnterior," and
" First Love." These are all remarkable for their
admirable discrimination of character, delicate
humour, wonderful drawing, and glowing colour-
ing. There are two pictures by Mr. Maclise,
" Noah's Sacrifice," and " Malvolio and the
Countess," but neither is a good example of the
artist's powers. There are three of Leslie's
finest works—" Sancho and the Duchess,"" Uncle
Toby and the Widow Wadman," and " Les
Femmes Savantes—Trisotin reading his Sonnet."
Wilkie, Turner, Danby, Landseer, Constable, Egg,
Roberts, Herbert, Philip, Leighton, Cooke, Ward,
Stanfield, Thomas, Anthony, Mulvany, Elmore,
Knight, Goodall, O'Neill, Hunt, Hughes, and
Wallis, are among the artists whose works adorn
this gallery.

Yesterday the attractions of the military review
by the Prince quite overpowered those of the Exhi-
bition. It was to be held at 11 a.m., but in conse-
quence of the rain it was postponed till 3 o'clock.
The streets of Dublin seemed almost deserted, and
there was scarcely a cab or car to be found at any
of the stands.

The following regiments were assembled on the
plain about 2 o'clock, the sth Dragoon Guards, under
the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Somerset J.
E. Calthorpe ; the 10th Hussars, under the com-
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel V. Baker ; the 11th
Hussars, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
C. C. Fraser, V.C. ; the C and E Troops Royal
Horse Artillery, under the command of Colonel C.
S. Henry ; the 29th, under the command of Lieu-
tenant-Colonel L. Farrington ; the 41st Regiment,
under the command of Col. J. E. Goodwyn, C.B. ;
the Ist battalion 60th Royal Rifles, under the com-
mand of Lieut.-Col. J. P. Redmond ; and the 78th
Highlanders, under the command of Colonel C. C.
M'lntyre, C.B. The troops were drawn up in line
in open order, extending right across the Fifteen
Acres. The Prince of Wales, who wore his uniform
as colonel of the 10th Hussars, rode across from the
Viceregal Lodge about three o'clock, accompanied
by the Duke of Cambridge, the Lord-Lieutenant,
and the Prince of Leiningen, General Sir George
Brown, Major-General Ridley, &c., and a numerous
and brilliant staff. On the arrival of their Royal
Highnesses a royal salute of 21 guns was fired, the
bands of the various regiments playing " God Save
the Queen." After the Duke of Cambridge, his
Excellency and suite had passed down the line, the
troops were put through a variety of evolutions by
Sir George Brown.
The tremendous charges and signal victories
which marked the varying fortunes of the.day are
described in the morning papers as vividly as if all
had been real. Happily there was no accident
during the day. When the sham fight was over,
and tho Prince of Wales had again taken his posi-
tion before the flagstaff, the whole of the troops
marched forward in parade order with bands play-
ing and colours flying, and so terminated the pro-
ceedings. His Royal Highness then proceeded, ac-
companied and escorted as before, to the Viceregal
Lodge, amid the most cordial cheers of a vast
throng, who were, with difficulty, restrained from
breaking all bounds, and rushing forward to make
their greeting more emphatic. Another royal
salute was fired as the Prince was leaving the
ground. The regiments then marched back to their
respective quarters. The clouds, which for the
half-hour previous to the termination had looked
most portentous, commenced a heavy downpour of
rain while the last salute was being fired, and
hastened not a little the departure of civilians, as
well as soldiers, for their homes. The day passed
off pleasantly, and the greatest good order and good
temper prevailed. The review concluded at half-past
5 o'clock.
In the evening the Prince of Wales and the Vice-
regal party dined at the residence of Gen. Sir Geo.
Brown, at the Royal Hospital. The Prince was

escorted by a troop of the 11th Hussars and received
by a guard of honour of the 29th Regiment.
DUBLIN, Thursday Night.
The Prince of Wales visited the Exhibition to-
day, accompanied by the Prince of Leiningen, the
Lord-Lieutenant and Lady Wodehouse, the Hon. J.
Wodehouse, Earl Spencer, Lieut.-Gen. Knollys, Mr.
Fisher,lsecretary to the Prince, Major Teesdale, C. B. ,
Lieut.-Col. Keppel, and Capt. Arkwright, Aide-de-
Camp in Waiting to the Lord-Lieutenant.
The Prince went to the Exhibition in an open
carriage drawn by four horses, with outriders, and
the members of the suite were accommodated in
other viceregal equipages. The escort consisted of a
troop of the 10th hussars. On arrival at the Exhi-
bition building the Prince was received by the Duke
of Leinster, Mr. Gilbert Sanders, the Dean of St.
Patrick's, Sir Bernard Burke, Messrs. F. W. Brady,
Maurice Brooks, J. Lentaigne, J. W. Switzer, T. Cot-
terell, David Drummond, J. Fry, W. Foot, T. Pim,
&c., who conducted the Prince through the building,
and pointed out its chief treasures, which his Royal
Highness spent two hours in examining. He was
enthusiastically cheered on entering and leaving the
building and in passing through the streets. From
the Exhibition the Royal party proceeded to St.
Patrick's Cathedral, where the Prince was received
by Mr. Guinness, the Dean, the Rev. Dr. Marks,Dr.
Sadlier, the Rev. Mr. Plunkett, and others. Having
been conducted through the cathedral by Mr.
Guinness, the Prince departed for the Viceregal
lodge, the Royal cortege passed through St. Stephen's-
green, Grafton-street, and along the Quays. The
Provost and Fellows of Trinity College have con-
ferred on his Royal Highness the honorary degree
of LL.D.

Alleged Jobbing at the Metropolitan Board
of Works.

Yesterday, atthe Marylebone vestry, and on the previous
afternoon at that of St. Pancras, the representative bodies of
the two largest and heaviest taxed parishes in the metro-
polis, very considerable sensation was caused by an an-
nouncement made by the members of the districts at the
Metropolitan Board that the committee to.whom the subject
had been referred had recommended the presentation of a
gratuity of £lO,OOO, viz., £6,000 to Mr. Bazalgette, and
£4,000 to his sub-engineers, for services in carrying out the
main drainage works.
At St. Pancras, Mr. S. TAYLOR, representative at the
Metropolitan Board, said he and his colleague had done all
they could to resist this extraordinary attempt to tax the
ratepayers, but they were in a minority of 8 against 23.
The original proposal was to present the engineers of the
main drainage works with a gratuity of from £15,000 to
£20,000, but that was so monstrous as to be eventoo strong
for the committee, who were coming up to the board with a
recommendation of £6,000 for Mr. Bazalgette, and £4,000
for his assistants. Mr. Taylor said (in answer to questions)
the ground of this proposal was, that had Mr. Bazalgette
carried out these works upon the usual percentage to engi-
neers, he would have been entitled to four or fire times
this sum and his salary together—his salary was £1,500
per annum.
Mr. J. SALTER moved, " That the action taken by the
representatives of the vestry of St. Pancras at the Metro-
politan Board of Works in opposing the proposed increased
emoluments to the. chief engineer and sub-engineers, meets
with the entire approval of this vestry, and that they be
further requested to continue their opposition."
Mr. Ross certainly thought that if, with all the talent he
had displayed, the chief engineer only got £1,500, the chair-
man of the board, who had £2,000 for merely sitting in the
chair, ought to be reduced to £5OO. (Laughter.)
The motion was carried unanimously.

At Marylebone, Mr. NICHOLAY introduced the subject and
denounced it as a most wanton and unwarrantable waste of
the ratepayers' money, and expressed his determination to
give the proposal, when it came up, his strenuous opposition.
Mr. HoLcomE moved, and Mr.FREETH' seconded, a resolu-
tion " approving of the course taken and intended to be
adopted by Mr. Nicholay in resisting the payment of these
gratuities of £lO,OOO to the engineer and his assistants, as
they are decidedly of opinion that such grants would be
premature."
Mr. FEEETII and Mr. GEORGE BUM strongly denounced
the predilection of the Metropolitan Board to squander the
ratepayers' money.

Professor MARKS concurred in the view of the resolution
that this proceeding was premature. Let them wait and
ascertain whether the main drainage had really the effect
that was contemplated, and if it did, then the testimonial
which should be presented to the talented man or men who
had carried it out, should be by a national and Government
grant, and not a mere local one. (Hear, hear.)
The resolution was also carried unanimously.

THE ISTHMUS OF SUEZ CANAL.—Mr. Alfred
Christian, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Malta,
delegated by the Chamber to represent the commercial com-
munity of this island at the congress of delegates invited
by M. F. de Lesseps to inspect the works of the Isthmus of
Suez Canal, has just returned to Malta. The journey through
the isthmus occupied about ten days, during which time
the delegates had every opportunity of inspecting the works
in progress and of conferring with the engineers and other
officers belonging to the company. The conclusion Mr.
Christian arrives at is that the completion of the ship canal
is only a question of time and money, and that in a very
few years the communication from sea to sea for vessels of
large tonnage will be established, thus uniting the West
with the East by an uninterrupted water route and shorten-
ing the sea voyage from Europe to India for steamers by
fully one-half. It still of course remains an open question how
far the canal will be useful to our sailing Indiamen, owing
to the prevalent winds in the Red Sea. About 80 delegates,
representatives of the various States and commercial com-
munities of Europe, Asia, and America, performed the
journey through the isthmus, accompanied by M. de Lesseps
and the principal officers of the company, to whom, we are
informed, the delegates are greatly indebted for the courtesy
invariably shown them, and for the readiness with which
all their inquiries were answered. It is to be regretted
that England was not represented at this very interesting
meeting, Mr. Christian, as representative of Malta, being
the only English commercial delegate present. The dele-
gates performed the journey from the Nile to Ismaila
by the freshwater canal, and from Ismaila, to Port Said
by the maritime (saltwater) canal. The boats were
towed by camels and horses, and for a distance also on the
maritime canal by steamers. After inspecting the works in
progress at Port Said the -delegates returned again south,
sailing back to Ismaila with a fresh northerly wind. The
maritime canal is not at present navigable for boats beyond
Ismaila; the remainder of the journey therefore to the Red
Sea had to be performed by the freshwater canal. This
latter canal takes its source at the Nile, close to the town of
Zagazig, and runs nearly duo east through the once fertile
land of Goshen until it reaches lsmaila: at about two miles
from the latter town it branches off to the southward,
leaving Lake Limsah and the Aitter Lakes on the east,
and joins the Red Sea at Suez. Ismaila is a flourish-
ing and picturesque little town of 3,000 inhabitants,
situated in the centre of the isthmus, 75 kilometres from
Port Said, midway between the two seas at the north
end of Lake Timsah, and owes its existence to the works
of the canal. The width of the maritime canal varies
at present, according to localities, from about 16 to 58
metres, except in the immediate vicinity of Port Said, where 1
it attains 84 metres. Its average depth at present is not
more than from 2to 3 feet. The depth of the freshwater ,
canal is much the same at present as that of the maritime
canal, but, of course, it is deeper during high Nile ; its
width varies from about 16 to about 25 metres. The com-
pany, we understand, have contracted with various French
firms for the completion of the whole of the works from the
Mediterranean to the Red Sea by the Ist of July, 1868, at
ceeding the subscribed capital of 8,000,000 sterling.

NEW Y641,1il 26
''After an almost total cessation of business for ten
days, New York on Wednesday resumed its usual
avocations, put off its face of gloom, and launched
into trade and pleasure with its characteristic
ardour. The long interregnum was devoted to
mourning and lamentation for Abraham Lincoln ;
a mourning as sincere as it was universal, and
highly creditable to the good heart as well as
the intelligence of the people. Few kings or em-
perors who ever lived have been so honoured in
their hour of death as the honest man, rail-splitter,
shopkeeper, and village attorney, twice elevated by
the votes of his fellow-citizens into political
equality with the most powerful Sovereigns of the
world. The agricultural and hard-labouring free-
holders, who form the bone and sinew as well as the
vast majority of the nation, had a pride in him, not
only because their suffrages made him what he was,
but because he possessed the rough but kindly
common sense and sturdy honesty of purpose which
are in the main the chief characteristics of their own
class. He was neither better nor worse than them-
selves, and bore himself bravely, innocently, and
yet shrewdly, through difficulties and temptations
greater than ever before assailed an American Pre-
sident. Had he outlived his second term he
would, like his predecessors—most of them men of
more brilliant capacity than himself—have gone
quietly down into the place from which he had as-
cended, a man of the people once more, neither
higher nor lower than his neighbours, and have left
behind a name which, whatever future ages might
have done to honour it, would not in all probability
have ranked very high in the estimation of his con-
temporaries. But the manner of his death became
his apotheosis ; and to all future time in America the
tall form of Abraham Lincoln will stand out in
heroic relief on the broad canvas of history, his head
encircled with the aureole of martyrdom, second in
the reverence of the public to none but ,George
Washington.

The procession that accompanied his remains on
Tuesday, after they had lain in state for 24 hours
and been visited by fully 100,000 people, to the rail-
way terminus, whence they were to be transported to
Albany, was the most imposing ever seenin America.
It took four hours to pass a given spot, marching,
slowly to the beat of muffled drums, or to the " Dead
March" in Saul. There was not much in the process
sion itself to appeal to the imagination7-nothing but
its vast numbers, and the almost breathless silence
imposed by their own sadness upon the half million
of bystanders who lined the long streets and avenues
through which it made its melancholy way. Every
head was uncovered as the funeral car rumbled
through the streets. These were all hung with fune-
real drapery, and emblazoned with mortuary inscrip-
tions setting forth the virtues of the dead, the sor-
row of the nation for his loss, or the undying con-
fidence of the people that although he had departed
to his heavenly home, the principles that animated
him when living survived in the hearts and the con-
victions of his countrymen. The immense prepon-
derance of women—or, as they are always called in
America, " ladies"—among the crowd, could not
fail to be remarked by every spectator, though
possibly the preponderance was more apparent than
real, inasmuch as the American lady, whether na-
tive born or fresh from the shores of the Emerald
Isle, always takes the front place vi et arinis,.if it be
not gracefully and willingly conceded to her. One
little episode of the procession was significant. The
Irish members of the Corporation of New York,
who had the management of the civic preliminaries,
with the strong dislike which the Irish as a body so
unaccountably entertain towards the negroes, had
refused permission to a coloured deputation to take
a place in the line, on the plea that the numerous
Irish benevolent and other societies would be
offended by their companionship, and might r esist
it. The decision was overruled by Mr. Stanton, who.
telegraphed from Washington that the negroes had
taken part in the funeral rites in that city, and
strongly recommended that they should not be de-
nied the same privilege in New York. In conse-
quence of his mandate the negroes were admitted to
the rear of the procession to the number of about
250, all well dressed in black. In Broadway their
presence excited but little notice or comment, but
in the aristocratic Fifth Avenue,where are the man-
sions of all or most of the millionaires of the trade
and commerce of New York, they no sooner ap-
peared than as if by preconcerted arrangement they
were greeted with a perfect furore of applause. The
ladies at the windows and balconies waved their
handkerchiefs, and in some instances flung flowers in
their pathway. The " American citizens of African
descent" were somewhat astonished at this sudden
popularity, as well they might be, remembering, as
many of them must have done, that they still labour
under social ban and exclusion, and that less than
two years ago men of their colour were hung to
lamp-posts or beaten to death by enraged mobs, in
the very streets through which they now passed in
triumph, for no other crime than the blackness of
their cuticle. Negroes, however, are not deeply rea-
soning philosophers. They took the compliment
paid them, and were evidently pleased with it.
The capture of the assassin Booth and one of his
accomplicees has had a soothing effect upon the
public temper. At first there was a general feeling
of disappointment that he had not been taken alive,
and that a more theatrical death than hanging had
been inflicted upon him without the preliminaries of
a public trial and sentence. But to-day the feeling
has to some extent subsided, and it is considered that
the trial of the meaner murderers, his accomplices,
three of whom are now in custody—Payne, who
attempted the cowardly assassination of Mr. Seward ;
Harrold, arrested with Booth; and a third, named
Asteroth, who was palpably acquainted with Booth's
design, if he did not actually aid in its perpetration
—will be conducted under calmer auspices than if
Booth had either escaped altogether or been taken
alive.

It is time that the evil passions excited by this
fiendish act should be allayed, and that men of
authority and influence should do their utmost both
by precept and example to discourage and denounce
the vindictiveness which too generally prevails. The
papers overflow with reports of personal violence
offered to eminent citizens—not because they make
ate rights is invaded by
light of the assassination, which none but two or
three drunken and silly or wholly insignificant per-
sons have done—but because before the assassination
they may have expressed political opinions not in
accordance with those entertained by their neigh-

April 29.

Mr. Stanton announces this morning from General
Grant, that the army of General Joseph E. Johnston
surrendered on the 25th to General Sherman, on
the same terms as those offered by General Grant
to General Lee. There remains now to the Con-
federacy no army but that of Texas, whither it
is supposed Mr. Jefferson Davis, under an escort of
2,000 Confederate cavalry, is proceeding by rapid
marches. Possibly if the new President were by
proclamation to offer to that army the same terms
as those offered to the armies of Lee and Johnston,
and be magnanimous enough to include Mr. Davis
as Commander-in-Chief, it also might lay down its
arms, and the American people of both sections,
freed from the horrors of war, might begin the great
and difficult work of reconstruction.
