"All naval officers on duty, or such as may wish to
testify their respect for the memory of the deceased by
their presence, are to be in undress uniform (plain trow.ers),
and the latter, together with the officers of the public
establishments, the corporation of Portsmouth, and such
military officers and civilians as may be present, will be
admitted within the enclosure abreast of the Monarch,
where places will be assigned to them by an officer of her
Majesty's ship Duke of Wellington..

"IV.

Such further instructions in regard to details as may be
requisite will be given to the officers whom they concern.
(Signed) "J. IforE, Vice-Admiral."

On being received on board, the coffin will be placed on
a bier under a lofty pavilion on the ship's upper deck,
where it will remain until the ship takes her departure for
sea on the following day. The pavillion will only contain
the body during the time the Monarch is stoatuing out of
Portsmouth harbour, and lying anchored at Spithead, and
when entering and lying in tho American harbour. For its
reception during the voyage a mortuary caapel has been
constructed on the of tern►est part of the frigate's main deck,
and into this the coffin will be removed before the anchor
of the Monarch is weighed from Spithead. No trouble or
expense has been spared in the preparation-of this chapel,
and a very imposing effect has been produced. The chapel
is circular, with dome, walls, and floor covered with black
cloth. From the centre of the dome white silk cords ra-
diate, looping up round the upper part of the walls fes-
toons of cloth fringed with deep white lace. Round the
walls atintervals the monogram "G. P." in silver, wreaths
of immortelles, and silver-plated brackets with double
waxlights. The bier in the centre of the chapel, on which
the coffin will bo deposited during the voyage, has on
either side four huge silver-plated candlesticks, each being
nearly 3ft. in height, carrying wax tapers as exceptionally
large as the lofty and gleaming masses of metals that hold
them. The public have been admitted on board and in the
chapel as freely as they chose, and some thousands of
people have availed themselves of the opportunity, the con-
tinual stream of visitors passing through the dockyard to
and from the Monarch from nine in the morning until near
sunset, and especially after noon, never seeming to slacken.
Mr. Peabody accumulated the greater part of his vast
wealth during the last five-and-twenty years of his life.
It is said, on trustworthy authority, that at fifty ho was
' worth but little more than 550,000. The United States
screw corvette Plymouth, 18 guns, Captain W. 11. Macomb,
arrived at Spithead on Saturday from Marseilles, and on
Monday went into Portsmouth at high water to fill up
with coals. In steaming up the Solent from the Needles,
in charge of a local pilot, the Plymouth took tho ground
twice off Newtown, owing to the thick weather prevail-
ing at the time,but she remained on the ground only a short
time, and sustained no damage. Sho will sail in com-
pany with her Msjoaty's ship Monarch for Madeira and the
United States. The body will be removed from West-
minster Abbey at 11 o'clock to-day, and convoyed by_the
South• Western Railway from Waterloo Station.

Two Japanese boys have been sent to a military
school in Massachusetts, and a Japanese Prince and re-
tinue has arrived at San Francisco to make a tour of the
States, but more especially to proceed to the Sandwich
Islands as a Special Commissioner from the Mikado to

inquire into the condition there of the Japanese labourers
on the sugar estates. The Pacific steam line to Yokohama
will do much to break down Japanese prejudice and exclu-
siveness, and to introdaco this old but little known family
of the human race to mankind. Two Etindoos, as• the
American papers persist in calling tho Parsee as well as
the llindoo gentleman now travelling through the South-
ern States, will take back to Tudia with them a new idea
of the Anglo-Saxon race. Some papers outer into a mi-
nute description of the caste of the Parsee, and no Asiatic
ever helps an Anglo-Saxon, probably not comprehending
the real meaning of the word caste. Properly!speaking theae
' • ""

is DO caste in India except among tho llindoos. The
Parsee, the Mussulman, and others aro distinct races, and
no more 'Undoes than are Americans, and they might as
well discuss an Englishman's caste or that of the degraded
descendants of the Portuguese in India as that of the
Parsee. They are Ghebres or Fire-worshippers, originally
from Persia, who are tho richest and most intelligent citi-
zens of Bombay and of the Western coast.

That interesting question to America, the Bible

iu Schools, continues to make its way to tho front. Many
of the Thanksgiving sermons had a special reference to

the subject, and much diversity of opinion is expressed.
For instance, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and the Rev.
Dr. Ewer, who perhaps might be as likely to arrive at the
same conclusion as Mr. Spurgeon and Mr. Mackonochio of
St. Alban's, favour, at least conditionally, severing the
schools from State support. Archbishop M'Clpskey's
organ, the Tablet, desires that the proportion of the public
money to the number of the Catholic children educated, be
appropriated to the Roman Catholic schools, and the whole
internal management left to their educational autho-
rities, the rest remaining under public control. But this
is exactly what must journals strenuously oppose, as this
is the thin edge of the Catholic wedge, which would soon

be effectually driven home to the destruction of the corn •
mou school system. The 3oncral opinion of moderat.•
mon appears to be this : —the Bible is the best of all books,
most beautiful in precept, most beautiful in language, most
thrilling iu incident. For these reasons it is the best of
school books, more espec!ally as the basis whereon stands
Christianity. But a largo section of Christiana disapprove
its general reacting by laymen, and some citizei.s are not
Chrhtians, and disapprove of the book altogether. Both
these desire to set up schools fur themselves, but it is the
national wish that the children of the nation should receive
their early education on a commen system in the State
schools. To persist in using the Bible as a school book is
to defeat this, therefore it is better to keep the Bible at
home and in Sunday schools, which would thwart the in-
tention of those who desire separate schools by removing
the only objection they can raise against the national wish.

A characteristic article appeared last evening in
the Pall Mall Gazette on Sir G. Young's paper on the Ala-
bama claims. There is nothing mere easy than to pooh-pooh
an insult, even when coupled with an injury. It is done
every day, and every effort of counsel is thus to treat a
bad case, adding to that abuse of the plaintiff's attorney
At the same time there is nothing more absurd than for
a man who dwells in a glass house to justify and uphold
the precedent he may have established of throwing stones.
Were it not for the application of the latter case
to England, we could quite understand the Pall
Mall's treatment of the subject, but it would be
simple suicide on the part of England to allow the pre-
cedent England has established to stand. Herein lies
the strength of the United States and the weakness of
England. Yet it is wholly overlooked in the article,
while the people who do see it, and regard it with such
apprehension, are sneered at as those who cannot let
things remain in that happy state in which the rejection
by the Government of the United States of the proposal

it had itself framed had left them. The Government thin

had framed the proposal did not reject it, nor did any other
Government of the United States reject it. That Go-
vernment accepted it, but another authority in the United
States also necessary to any U.S. treaty, that is, the Senate

—rejected it. There was a time when any discussion of the
subject was declined almost with disdain, but England
has got so far as to bo ready to pay for the material
damages, and she will before long advance to the point,
which she feels bitterly, though she will not confess, which
is an acknowledgment of wrong. America says, " Let the
precedent stand," and if the Pall Mall Gazette ro-echoes
this, why touch on the subject—" Let it stand."

ELECTION NEws.—A New York correspondent
says the recent New York election cost Tammany over
$900,000. The grand torchlight procession cost $120,000.
Mayor Oakey Hill contributed 20 per cent. of his salary,
and eight candidates for office contributed $5,000 each.'
All the subordinates in public offices under the control of
Tammany were taxed 20 per cent. on the amount of their
salaries. The candidates for the State Senate paid about
$28,000 each, with the exception of William Tweed, who
paid nearly $50,000. Alaska advices report the election of
General I'hrie as Delegate to Congress. As the Legisla-
ture of lowa will soon meet, the Governor, Mr. Merrill,
declines to make a temporary appointment iu place of
Senator Grimes, leaving it to the Legislature not only to
elect a citizen for the remainder of that Senator's term,
but for the succoedir.g six years, and Mr. Allison's chances
appear to be on the increase. It is now reported that
Texas has gone Republican, not Democratic, as before
stated. In the Virginia Republican Convention, Nov. 24,
an address to Congress was adopted, declaring the elec-
tion in Virginia "a Confederate triumph, achieved by in-
timidation and fraud, the secret of the Republican defeat
being the submission to a separate vote of the test oath and
disfranchising clauses," and asking Congress to order a
now election ou the constitution as a whole, or else to
exact the test oath from the members of the Legislature,
and give the seats of those who cannot take it to their
eligible opponents. About thirty delegates seceded from
the Convention, being dissatisfied with its proceedings.
The House of Representatives in the Tennessee State
Legislature has tabled the bill permitting negroes to hold
office and to be jurors, wLile a till repealing the law
imposing penalties for distinctions in public cars and
other places cu account of race has passed to a third
reading.
