Our Relations with England.

Semi-of6cial letters from England
give assurances that the British Gov.
eminent is gradually changing from its
original partiality for the Rebel States.
The Government is yet anything but
friendly to tire Union, but is evidently
not so open in its hostility as it was be-
fore the arrival of Mr.. Adams. These
letters leave no room to doubt that the
Ministry had once determined upon
recognizing the Southern Confederacy,
and they were endeavoring to partici-
pate such action before the arrival of
eur-new Minister. In the interview
which MIR. Adams had with Lord John
Russell the former very distinctly ex-
pressed the strong belief that the Brit
ish Government intended such pur-
pose, and charged the British Ministry
with a want of common diplomatic
courtesy in thus attempting to decide
upon so vital question before afford
ing an opportunity to the Administra-
ton of explaining the position in which
the Government of this country was
placed, the objects of the rebels and
the power of the Government to sup
press the rebellion. Mr.. Adams took
occasion to represent to the British
Minister the injustice of recognizing
the.rebels, and to warn him that the
government would not permit the in
reference of any foreign Government
TO prevent the subjugation of the Rebel
States of the Union.
It is probable that the Spanish Gov.
eminent will decline to receive Carl
Scharz as Minister to Spain. At least
the Representatives. of Spain here at
Washington do nM hesitate to express
sach a belief.

Correspondence of the N. Y. Times
PARIS, Tuesday, May 81, 1861.
Mr.. Dayton, the new American Min
lister to France, delivered his creden.
tials to the Emperor, at the Palace of
the Tuileries, on Sunday last. Mr.. d.
was accompanied to the palace by the
Introducer of Ambassadors, Nj. Feuil-
les de Conches, in one of the State car
riages of Bis Majesty. The Minister
was received in the throne-room, where
His Majesty was surrounded by the
officers of his Court in official costume.
Short speeches were made, which con-
tanned only the usual phrases of intro
ductory ceremonies; but a lengthy
conversation took place afterwards, in
which the Emperor again spoke in a
feeling manner of the troubles in the
United States, and not only expressed
desire that there should be no disrup-
ton of the Union, but offered his SER
vices in whatever way they might be
useful. Mr.. Dayton explained to His
Majesty, at length, the present condi-
ton of things in the United States,
and gave him the outlines of the policy
of the Government at Washington.
The American Minister was highly
gratifed with the manner of his recep-
ton and with the sentiments expressed
by His Majesty.

The musical entertainments given By Prof.
NsxrLra and his pupils, on Thursday and
Friday evenings Of this week, At Rabbits
Hall, we're attended, both evenings, BY full
houses. The Professor gave notice hast
week tia. he intended these concerts should
excel everything Of the kind heretofore at
tempted 10 this city, and il vas the uuani-
nous declaration Of those in attendance,
that be had hep: his promise. We have no
hesitation whatever, in pronouDcing The
entertainment, On both evenings, the best
We hare ever attended in the West. The
singers laborsd under great disadvantage
in the unsui,ablsness Of the room-being
very long. and the ceiling quite lov-yes,
Notwithstanding this, they all acquitted
themselves in manner highly creditab!e-
doing honor to themselves, and giving salts
faction to the people. We are more than
ever convinced now, that Prof. MUELLER
understands his business, and not only
knows how 70 make music himself, but also
bow to ins,ruc. others. The Professor will
give another concers,as the same place, some

SCHOOL ExHIRlrIoN.

The exhibition given BY the pupils Of Mr..
BAKrE's school, on last Monday evening,
was we'll attended, and duly appreciated
About three hundred persons we're present,
and all seemed highly pleased with the enter
tainmens. The performance throughout
was much better, to our mind, than that OF
the frss night. The pieces selected, might
have been to some, less interesting in char
ac,e, and sentiment, than those of the first
night. bat the interest manifested by the
scholars, and the care taken by them to
have their parts perfect, and an apparent
ambition to excel, rendered the performances
much more interesting. to US, than that OF
the other evening. The parts acted by the
smaller scholars were all, upon the latter
occasion, as upon the former, well done
unexceptionable. The larger class of pupils
acquitted themselves creditably, and per-
formed their parts in manner not to be
excelled BY any but professional actors
thus proving conclusiyely that they can
when they uiH. We would like to speak
Of the several actors personally, but the
remark applicable to one would equally
apply to all-shey did we'll. The music, BY
Miss SARAH ADAMS, was, We believe, the
bes. performance upon the Mslodeon, that
| We ever heard,-the instrument was almost
made to talk. The ''Battle of Waterloo"
was executed in q manner that would have
done credit to any player. Miss ADAMS is
evidently possessed of musical talent of no
ordinary character, and with proper cult
walton will become one of the first fema' e
musicians in the West. The singing, BY the
young ladies, was exceilent,-the last song,
ssColumbia the Gem of the Ocean," sung
| by Misses MARY BLooMER and MARY AMY,
constituted in itself musical entertainment
not to be excslled anywhere.
c. Bids fox eight millions of the q. S.
loan authorized by the late Congress, were
opened, at Washington, on the Cd. Abou!
thirty million were bid for-the bids rang

Of the Treasury will accept no bid below "a
cents, therefore the amount determined up.
on is only $3,l00,000. All accounts from
Washington agree that the revenues and

SARzA.-We have long supposed this
celebrated drug, had come to be an exploded
humbug, but we are assured by those skilled
in the healing art, that not the Sarsaparlla
itself is to be blamed for this conclusion,
but the miserable worthless preparations of
it that have been palmed off upon the com.
neutrality-suspicious. which contain about
as much of its virtues as they do of gold
dust. 1t is commercial fact that almost
all of the Sarsaparilla gathered in the world,
is consumed in the old countries of Europe,
where the science of incidence, has reached
its highest perfection, and where they know
the best what to employ for the mastery OF
disease. Hence we are glad to find that We
are now to have compound Of this excellent
