As soon as the cntrunce Of Cavour in the boz
at the Scala, the night before last, was remark
ed, q general cheering and waving Of handker-
chiefs and hats followed All other 1nortals i'm
diately lost their attraction. nnd the only ideas
iu the heads of the Gominocs P<rfttts dttard<urs
seemed to be to approach the happy Prime Min
ter who had sat down in front Of the boz. The
difficulty was only how to get near him.
Que mask, boider than her companions, be-
gan to "ngacer" the great maa from one Of the
boxes just ADORE the ore in which he was seat

The New York correspondent of the Spriug-
field Rs3ublit7n writes that the Rev. Henry
GIattan Guinness, the sensation Eng,ish preach
er, now bo!dipg forth d1ily here, and whom
thousands arc rushing to hear, is young man
elegaa. in figure. His black hair is thrown back
from deicatc, pale face, remarkable for sensi-
bili1y aud for the Sweetness Of its expression.
He has dark eye, and mobile mouth; even
in repose,. sympa'hy quiyers in its treniulous
curves. He has an acute1y nervous orgauiza-
ton; he is sensitive. and sympathetic. In his
spirit, not 10 lis brain, lies the talismau Of his
power. His thought does not wander amid the
stars, but hoEers On level With rour heart.
His language does not scintilate the Geld sheen
Of rapt imagination; it is warm with the life.
blood Of emotion. His voice, solemn, far
searching, vibrating with a sweet, half me1au-
cloty tenderness, yon feel is surcharged with
gathered thousands. The man is consccrated
TO his work: his whole soul is baptized with the
lore of it; and ths great God bfesses him that
it is.
