LONDON, March l3.-Gladstone has
written a letter to Earl Granville an
nouncing that he viii continue the
leadership of the Liberal party, but
wanting rest he asks to be relieved from
its responsibilities after the present SEES
sion.
The entry into London Of the Duke of
Edinbure and bride, Duchess Marie,
took place yesterday. The display was
grand and imposing, and notwithstand-
ing the snow storm that prevailed, the
streets were packed with immense
crowds of people to witness the pageant.
The procession started from Paddington
station about noon, passing through Ok
ford and Regent streets TO Buckingham
Palace, where the royal couple were
formally received. The whole route was
gaily decorated with bunting, and a
warm welcome was extended by the
people to the royal pair. The Queen
accompanied the procession IN state'
The city was splendidly illuminated at
night. Ten thousand soldiers lined the
route of procession. The Grand Ouch
ess Marie received perfect ovation
from the people along the whole line of
the procession. Her appearance along
the route was greeted with cheer after
cheer, to which she responded with
slight bow. She was dressed in purple
velvet cloak, trimmed with fur, and her
head was adorned with a beautiful white
bonnet.

Exeter Cathedral.

Exeter Cathedral is noted among the
great churches of England for several
things. 1t has an outline shared by no
church in England, save its own NINA
ture at Ottery, and by not many else
where; that is. the absence OF either
western or central towers, while pair
OF towers form the transepts, after a
manner which Archdeacon Freeman, in
his work on the cathedral, reverently
compared to two hands lifted in prayer,
but which irreverent people say gives
the church the look of paddlesteamer.
This arrangement is known to exist in
three continental churches only; the
metropolitan church of Lyons, and the
cathedral churches at Chalons and Ge-
neya. But Lyons differs from Exeter in
having western as we'll as transept tow
ers. Chalons has not exactly transept
towers. but towers east of the transepts,
as in SO many German churches aud in
the Church of Notre Dame IN Chalons
itself. Altogether, says the Saturday
Review. the closest parallel to
Exeter is Geneva. Another point at
Exeter is that it forms link between
Romsnesque and Gothic buildings. AT
Peterborough and Norwich the earlier
style prevails; at Wells and Salisbury
we have only the later. At Exeter we
have a Gothic body with, so to speak,
Romanesque wings. And mark again
that the Romanesque Of Exeter has a
history OF its own. As at Wells, the
Old English church survived longer than
usual. For one reason, it was nearly
new at the time Of the Conquest.
Bishop Leofric, who survived Williams
coming several years, could hardly De
expected to pull down the church which
he had himself built. The next Bishop,
Osborne. a Norman who had come IN
under Edward, identified himself with
his adopted country, adopted the man
ners aud feelings Of an Englishman,
and, we are expressly told, abstained
from destroying his predecessor s works.
The remodelling Of things was therefore
put off at Exeter, as for other causes 1t
was put off at Wells. Neither Of those
churches had any share in the FIRST great
impulse of rebuilding in the days OF
the Conquest, the impulse Of which we
see the fruits at Winchester and 81.

New YORK, March l3.-It is stated

the appropriation by Congress being

The election of Jay Gould as one of
the directors of the Union Pacific rail-
road was much discussed 10 Wall street
yesterday, and his power in that Com
pany is conceded. The most prominent
of the day discussion was the fact that
he again entered into the control of the
Company, which can issue more stock.
There is now thirty-six million and odd
Of stock issued, the amount authorized
being the handsome total of one hun
dred million. Spectators who watch
Gould's movements are waiting for signs
Of his own Union Pacific stock being
unloaded, and for the opening Of new
and more gigantic share mill. The Times
this morning editorislly says: The
Union and Pacific is now in the hands of
Jay Gould. He owns l67 900 shares out
of 100000, and he is endeayoring TO
have a dividend Of four per cent. de-
clared, which he calculates will have the
effect of sending the stock up in the
market and induce outsiders to come in
with their little pots. When they have
deposited their money it will probably
be to the interest Of Gould to swindle
them out of it in some form or other,
and we shall see the Erie reviewed in the
future history of the Union Pacific"
The resignation of Auditor Durham,
OF the Erie, is accompanied by rumors
ofimpending ruin to that company. 1t is
also discussed aud believed thst the
stock jobbing operations of Gould are
to defeat the loan aud break down the
Erie stock.
