LETTER FROM BALTIMORE.
lNrom our olen oOrrespondent.

kfon1 our olC7l Correspondent
BALTIMORE, Aug 16 1863.
The conservation at the Cathedral to-day Of
Right Rev. Thomas A. Becher d. D., and Right
Rev. James Gibbons, d. D., drew forth an i'm
mense crowd in and outside the church. There
were thousands of spectators from all parts OF
the city, and OF all denominations, but chiefly
Catholics. The ceremonies commenced at ten
o'clock in the morning, and continued until two
p. NJ. The Most Reverend Archbishop Spald-
ing performed the consecrational ceremonies,
assisted by the Right Rev. DR.. Whelan,
Bishop Of Wheeling; the Right Rev. DR.. McGill,
OF Richmond; the Right Rev. DR.. Wood, of Phi
Iadelphia Ri ght Rev. DR.. Lynch of Charles
ton; Right Rev. DR.. Bayley, of Newark; Right
Rev. DR.. Domenec, of Pittsburg; Right Rev. DR..
OHara, of Scranton; and Right Rev. DR..
Bhanahan, of Harrisburg. great number of
clergy from this and other dioceses were in
attendance.
The two reverend gentlemen consecrated were,
Right Rev. Thomas A. Becher, D. D., for the See
of Wilmington, Del, whose diocese will COM
prise the State OF Delaware, the eight counties
of the Eastern Shore Of Maryland, and the two
eastern counties of Virginia, Accomac and
Northampton; and the Right Rev. James Glib
bons, D. D., for the Vicarlate OF North Carolina.
He will reside in Wilmington, North Carolina,
and have jurisdiction over the whole State of
North Carolina The former is native of Pitts
burg, Pa; the latter was born in Baltimore.
The entire ceremonies were graud, solemn,
imposing. A specially attractive feature was
the gorgeous ve5tments worn by the priests,
and those who participated. They we're rich and
highly ornamented. The Archbishop was in
full robes. The music was eXquisitely magnif
cent The inside of the Cathedral, during the
entire ceremony, was completely jammed.
Every available inch to stand upon in the
naves and aisles was occupied, and every pew
filled, whilst hundreds, yes, thousands-stood
on the streets and payements out.ide the build
ing and in front Of the Archbishop's palace.
The spectators were of all ages, sizes, sex, and
colors. Many strangers were here from Phila.
delphia, New York, Washington, and other
places to witness the scene, which is a rare one,
not often occurring Ill our city.
The forthcoming address of the Conservatives
who have withdrawn from the Democracy,
being prepared by Ex-Governor Bradford, will
be very able and highly important paper. 1t
must produce telling effect throughout the
whole country. 1t will, probably, be brought
out at the next meeting in q few days. This
movement has greatly disturbed the Democrats,
and promises to be formidable. Thousands are
only wanting an excuse or opportunity TO come
back to their first love, whilst not q few Demo-
Gratis, with nearly all the Boys in Blue and Jack
Tars, are wheeling into the Grant and Colfax
army. Maryland will be heard from yet. There
is trouble amongst the Democrats which
threatens disruption of their party.

alive or dead; but in the aquarium tank, where
every movement is plainly visible, they may be
inspected with real feelings of pleasure, from
their elegance of action, az they slowly float OF
rapidly paddle themselves through the clear sea
water. The great marine zoologlst, Mr.. Gosse,
has so ably described those creatures that
feel cannot do better than refer your readers
10 his book
In my opinion the aquarium is the most inter-
esting part of the whole exhibition; and
am ongst the inhabitants of the tanks the cutie
mems. Several visitors have named them the
elephant fish, from the shape of the head; this,
however, is supplied with eight trunks instead
of one, each of which has equal prehensibe
power in proportion TO its size to that of the
single proboscis of the elephant. The aquarium
alone Is well worth the VOYAGE from England.

The Peabody Gun.

This gun is evidently meeting much favor
abroad, particularly in those countries whose
people are skilled in the use Of firearms. The
Providence Tool Company supplied fifteen
thousand stand Of these arms TO the Swiss
Government, and we give below O very salts
factory statement Of the result of their use.
The company is now engaged in filling SINH
lar order for another European government.
The SDisS iShdrTShooteT's Gazette, of June 10Th,
says:
THE PEABODY GUN.-Last Sunday the Field
schutzenverein of the district Of Thalwell held
their first meeting this year. Since all the
rihemen were to fire with the Peabody Gun,
which is now in the hands of the sharpshooters
except two, who had the ordinary field rifle
great interest was manifested in the result Of
the shooting. The success Of the gun was
surprisingly complete. Fifteen sharpshooters
fired 20 shots each together 300 shots, at dis
tances respectively of 300 and 400 PAGES. A
shot in the breast of the figure of man,
which formed the target, counted g. in the
head or legs 2, and for the target 1. In these
300 shots $50 points were made, being SO per
cent. hits. Had the marksmen been more
accustomed to the trigger, which was some
what sitter than their own guns, SO per cent.
would have bean obtained-a result which has
never yet been attained by the usual field rifle.
All the sharpshooters, including those who,
using the arm for the first time, regarded /
with some distrust, were afterwards enthus-
astic in praise of its precision, rspidity of fire,
and simple manipulation. One of the marks .
men fred four shots in "a seconds, making at
400 PAGES 2 breast hits, and to the right and
l to the left. Consider the terrible effects of
one battalion even, armed with this weapon
and skilled in its use.
The guns fired, not having any hair trigger,
and stock a little too straight, they were in
this respect not so convenient as the field
rifle; but one soon gets accustomed to this.
These little drawbacks are far more than out
weighed by the many good qualities of the
Peabody. The ammunition, of Swiss manu-
facture, was excellent; not one shot of 300
missed fire, so that in this respect, also, We
can be perfectly satisfied, and Switzerland
may congratulate herself upon her possession
of her $4,000 American made Peabody guns.

The rapidity with which traveller can now
pass from one distant point of Europe to ano-
ther is certainly marvellous. Any tourist who
desires to reach the Turkish capital from Paris
can effect his purpose in less than five days by
following the itinerary announced by the East
ern Railway Company-namely, Stuttgart,
Munich, Vienna, the Danube, Odessa, and
Constantinople, with, in all that distance, only
fifteen hours sea. But if the speed is won
derful, the prices are not less so-434f. first
class; 29Sf. second; or, by railway second class
and steamer first, $685. In addition stay can
be made at any of the cities mentioned on
the way-bill, should the passenger be SO
inclined.

WASHINGTON, d. G., Aug, 13, 1s6S.-Dear Sir:
Nothing can be more interesting than the
idea of a revision of the law of nations, and the
reduction of all its various parts to a clear and
intelligent code, which all can read and under
stand. Such a work would be an epoch in
civilization, and prepare the way for permanent
peace among nations.
Therefore, | saw with singular pleasure that
the Society for the Advancement of Social
Science in England had entertained this great
suect, and that jurist, as experienced aud
liberal as Mr.. Dudley Field, had Lentered upon
the work.
am glad to know that the Peace Union and
the Society which you represent are laboring in
the same direction. Anything that | can do
TO promote so beneficial project will be done
eheerfully to the extent of my ability, and
according to the time at my command, which is
very little. Accept my best wishes and believe
me, Dear Sir, faithfully yours,

drck in the chair on motion, committee was
appointed, consisting of William D. Kendrick
Chief Engineer McCusker, George w. Downey,
NJ. ID. Lynch, Samuel Yeaoer, Marshall Garri-
CUES, and Daniel Murphy, to prepare a circular
setting forth the particulars of the formation Of
the association and Its object. The committee
held meeting on Friday evening, at which the
circular was read and approved,
1t states that the number OF companies now
represented in the Association is thirty-three,
each having paid their share, $50, which in the
event of all the companies participating with
the public and other contributions, it is thought
will cover the cost of the monument contracted
for at an expense of $4,000, to be finished in
powered with authority to receive donations
toward the monument fund. The committee
appeal to the companies who have not joined
the Association to do so, that the object OF the
members may be effectively carried out.
