Lonpos July 17.—Business in the House of Commons continues ta make slow prog- ress. The obstructive allowance between the younger Tories, Sir Drummond Wolff, Lords Hamilton and Churchill, and the Irishmen is daily becoming more open. Since Lord Lansdowne’s resignation the Government shows some irresolution about the Eviction bill, withdrawing from pledges asunderstood by Mr. Parnell, and offering concessions to the Whigs. Further proof of the Whig discontent is shown by Lord Hart- ington’s brothers opposing the Govern- ment. at the instance of his father, the Duke of Devonshire. Many Irish proprietors, notwithstanding Mr. Fors- ter's attempts at conciliation, are panic- stricken, One large owner of liigh rank has already closed his house in Ireland, dismiss- ing twenty servants, and announcing that he intends to live for the future abroad. He es- timates that the bill will reduce his income $50,000. PASSIONATE CONTROVERSIES, scenes alnost riotous, occur nightly in Par- Jiament. The House is fast losing its repu- tation for decorum. Personalities were nev- er so bitter, and the decencies of debate were never so frequently violated, the truth being that the House is now brought face to face with a series of questions no longer merely political, but regarded, rightly or wrongly, by powerful classes as vital to their exist- ence. Numerous privileges now assailed have heretofore been reckuned invivlable. On the other hand, the feeling among county gentlemen is even stronger. The Government is constantly denounced for favoring spoliation ur confiscation because it is endeavoring to protect Irish tenauts against arbitrary landlords. English land- lords foresee that their day is coming. Hence this violence far exceeding anything in polit- ical or in ecclesiastical matters. MIL GLADSTONE 1S DAILY DENOUNCED in London drawing-rooms as a revolutionist and Communist. Threats are already rife that no Governmeut bill will, be allowed to yass in the House of Lords. Society says that Lord Hartington’s resignation was oily averted by Mr. Gladstone’s pledge that the Irish bill, if rejected by the Lords, would not be reintroduced into the louse of Commons. Ministers nevertheless privately affirm that they tully intend to per- sistin reftgi je fi measures, ine the Game and Burials bills, become laws.

The British istands have been visited this week by the most fatal and destructive thunder-storms on record. The first was experienced at Manchester on Wednesday. The lightning struck two houses standing ou the banks of the River Irwell, completely felling them to the ground. Two men and one lady were killed, and it is yet un- certain whether or not there are any more bodies lyin, in the — ruins. At King’s Lynn a whole flock of sheep were Killed by hghtning on Thu At Ches- ter a territic storm burst over the whole dis i At Cork, during 2 violent storia man and several cows @ Killed. Tratic and railroad serviees were stopped, the floods putting out the fires of the locgmotives. Fifteen head of cattle were killed by light- ning at Northampton, and the water rose so rapidly that it flowed in at the windows of the houses. Several cattle were drowned hundreds of tons of hay were At Swanza no fewer than nine houses were estroyed, some of them being swept entirely Jiundreds of acres of land, includin; hay fields, are entirely submerged. ‘avisto rain caused the Tay to overflow banks, and the water rushed intuacoalmine where three men were at work. Before an alarm could reach them y were drowne The metropolis was visited on Wednesda: by hail and thunder storms. The rain fell in torrents, accompanied by heavy thunder, vivid lightning, and WAILSTONES AS LARGE AS CHERRIES. In the market at Harborough boats were plying in the streets, conveying provisions to qaany the — imprisoned inhabitants. ‘Two men were drowned at Loughborough. The waters are —oyer the tops of the chedges and resemble: an. inland sea, Large numbers‘of horses, cattle, sheep, and pigs have been lost. Farin-houses .are conipietely isolated, the highway being in some places six feet under water. At Leices- ter, the railway service was reopened Jast_night, but the Leeds, Manchester & Liverpool express had a narrow escape trom destruction. Just beyond Lyston Junction the embankment is thirty fect high, and a viaduct carries the four, lines over the brook, where there has been a heavy rush of water. The bridge was: apparently all right, but as soon as the guard’s van passed it fell with a loud crash into the stream be- fow. The goods and passenger train follow- ing the express traia_ stopped just in time to prevent it from ing into the yawning gulf. The railway lines are still lying ata depth of four teet. ‘The whole district is one extensive lake. OPPOSITION TO THE ERECTION OF A NA- POLEONIC STATUE IN WESTMINSTER. To the Western Associated Press. Lonpox, July 17.—In_ the House of Com- mons, last night, the motion of Briggs rela- tive to the erection of a statue of the late Prince luperial in Westminster Abbey was amended by omitting the words ‘and is { calculated to impair the good feeling be- tween England and France,” and, as amended, the motion was carried by a yote of 171 to 116. Gladstone and others disclaimed Court in- fluence, which Mr. Briggs had hinted in moving his resolution. . - John D. Hutchinson, Radical member for Halifax, declared that the Queen’s assent to the project had been given reluctantly. Gladstone said that “‘althougi: the preroga- tive of the Crown regarding burial in West- minster Abbey is absolute, there is no dis position in any quarter to trespass in any ‘Way upon the province of the House in this manner. I think, however, the House would do well to avoid interference,” When the question on motion as amended Was about to be put, Gladstone, Sir William Larcourt, Home Secretary, and other mein- bers of the Government left the House. ‘The Times, in an editorial referring to the Pith the majority, i jority, includi Mr. Beresford Hore who ates “Dean” Stinkey more loves the Napoleui he ‘Tels doubes sybether it would not .

Gladstone has remitted 15 per cent of the semi-annual rents of his Hawardeu-tenanis on account of their losses from exceptional seasons and reduced prices. He had pre- viuusly reduced their rents in the samo amount in 1379, THE WEATHER. Throughout the West the weather has been unusually adverse to business and ag- Ticulture, and in some parts of the country even disastrous. Itis still hot and sultry, with frequent thunder-storms. Parts of Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire, Gloucestershire, and Berkshire are submerged by the overflow of the rivers. Railway tratiic is impeded, and. the crops, especially hay, ruined. Some lives have been Jost by the floods. In Ireland the weather has been favorable to crops since Thursday.

The opening of the Whig “cave” in oppo- sition to the * Disturbance-in-Ireland bill” was the chief topic of discussion in political circles yesterday, the oppon t ernment regarding it asa serious break in the party and the supporters of the Govern- ment making light of it, declaring it had no backing in the country, and that the divisions in Commitiee showed the position of the Governinent to be growing stronger instead of weaker. The Whig meeting seems to have been less important than was at first believed. A number of gentlemen met on Thursday at Lord Fitzwilliams’ house, and, after a brief conversation, adjourned to the House of Commons, where a larger meeting took place. It was noi resulyed to commu- nicate with Gladstone, as has been stated. No formal resolution was taken, and some of those who attended the eaucus afterwards yoted in tavorof the Government in divis- ions on the bill. The pr s of legislation has been very slow this week, and members are ‘eady are ranging pairs for the rest of the session. THE RIFLE. Six Lords and six Commons had _a contest toxlay.at Wimbledon at 200 and 500 yard ranges, as follows: Two hundred yards, Commons, 262; Lords, 219, Five hun yards, Commons, 483; Lords, 433. THE ENGLISH TEAM into power as the choice of the nation. About 250,009 copies of L’Intransigeant were sold yesterday. Their circulation can- not continue unless Rochefort excites POPE Jar passions to white heat, which would drag him into trouble. * THE OATH OF OFFICE | | was wiscly not imposed on_ the Colonels at the distribntion of flags. If a few Colonels had publicly refused to take it, the effect would have been unfortunate. High society was uot present at this grand military solemnity, President Grévy performed his part with staid. dignity and simplielty. His speech is universally approved. It was wise, grave. patriotic, and elevated. Gens. Bourbake, Borel, Decrot, and_ the Duke D’Aumale were ‘not invited to Longchamps in a military character, and, thinking it would show lack of dignity to go a3 spectators, hey did not use the tickets sent them. Gambetts’s father and mother looked on from the tribune. ‘The former is Q white-headel old inan of the Di Vinci type, with a forest of bushy hair. Ilis wife is the image of her iNustrious son, who will review the Cherbourg fleet next August, and make a program speech. Gambetta was ac- claimed on Wednesday in the Buis and the evening on the Boulevard. THE FESTIVITIES SURPASSED ALL EXPEC- TATION. ‘They were sporadic, spontancous, dazzlingly brilliant, and pervaded with an enthusiastic spirit, In the populous faubourgs it was a sight tosve people like ties crawling along the house tops, hanging on to window sills to decorate the houses with flags, gar- jJands, and lanterns. The streets were brill- jaut with the tricolors, embowered with verdure. Dancing was universal; even policefnen sacrifievd to Terpsichore. There Was a grand fancy ball attended by men and wonen In the costumes of 1789. At the Operon. last: night there ‘was a2 gala representation in honor of the army. President Girévy forgot to wear the Grand Corden. Mme. and Mille. Freycinet and other Jadies in black occupied the State box; offl- cers in uniform filled_ the pit, balcony, boxes, and gullerles. Nobody rose at the entrance of President Grévy. He slipped quietly into his place, though the “ Mur- seillaise ” announced him. ‘The mob, search- ing for liberty trees, broke into the grounds of the Princesse Craon and felled somesplen- did old timber. SWISS SOCIALISTS. To the Western Assoctated Press. Panis, July 17.—Ten Geneva oxiles have published an address denouncing the Oppor- tunists as the cause of their punishments, and urging continued efforts for the estab- lishment of a Socialist Republic. ROCHEFORT AND GAMBETTA, Rochefort. declares any compromise be- tween him and Gambetta impossible. He vs the existing Chamber of Deputies is en- titled to no respeet, because it has abdicated its functions and has surrendered its authori- rE to Gambetta. Genoese corsairs may be as fa prerous as Roman Cxsars. All true Re- publicans should unite to nip this dangerous orator in the bud. 4 BANQUET. Gambetta gave a dinner Inst night to the officers who came to Paris to receive flags. lie visits Cherbourg Aug. 9, where a grand banguet in his honor will be given by the niu p cipality, to which S90 Mayors have been. invited. Gambetta reminded his hearers of the state in which the Empire left the army, and said its present reorganization was all the more thorough because the army felt that the country vow possessed durable republican institutions, ‘The virility and merit of our army, he said, are a surprise to Europe. ‘The speech was received with great ap- Diause. MATRIMONIAL. ‘The Mayor of Cannes yesterday married an ex-priest named Breurick, aged 9 years, and a convert to Protestantism, to Mile. Vernot, a Protestant, aged 33 years. GERMANY. THE EASTERN QUESTION. Berry, July 17.—An interchange of views is proceeding between the Powers with re- gard to the possibility of bringing pressure to bear on the Porte. No detinit propusals, however, have been made up to the present time, nor has anything been arranged in re- gard tol a naval demonstration by the fleeis of the six Powers. THE COLLECTIVE NOTE, According to private information from Constantinopie the Sultan has instructed his Council to discuss the “collective ‘note’ and subinit to him the dratt of areply to it. It is thought the reply can hardly be delivered to ue Powers before the beginning or Au- gust TORILLING. SouprnsiAvseN, July 17.—Prince Giin- er LU. arzburg-Soudershausen has abdicated because his sight has failed. His eldest son, Prince Charles, assumed the gov- ernment of the Principality today.

GERMANS TO REFORM THE TURKISH FI- NANCES. CoxsTANTINOPLE, July 17.—Artendorff, German Gov iment Counsellor, who came here to as: carrying outreforms, has re- turned to Berlin to select: members’ of his staff. He will-return with six German staff officers and ‘ials for Ministers of War and Foreign Affairs. A German officer has been appointed side-de-camp to the Sultan. NO POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE. Loxnox, July 17.—-A Berlin correspond- ent writes: ‘“Gerinany is acting in the East in concert with Austria, and any alliance with the Porte would be Austro-Turkish, or, perhaps, Austro-German-Lurkish: bub before the idea of such a league could be mooted the wildest mGiée must be going on in Europe. Only when everybody's hand is taised aguinst his neighbor could there be any occasion tor Germany joining Turkey. That the Sultan, in bis present desperate pest don, among other visionary schemes may indulgy in the idea of a Gérman-Russian war and German-Turkish league is quite credible; but there is a long way between the actual state of things and ‘such a contin- gency. The Sukan has asked for some members of the Prussian civil service to assist In reforming the Turkish Administra- tion, and the request has been granted. Be- yond the displaying of the belief in the con- tinued existence of Turkey, the action of the Berlin Government in this inatter has no political import.” ALBANIA AND MONTENEGRO. Coxsraxrrxopre, July 17.—M. Novikoff, Russian Ambsasador here, bas formally drawn the attention of the Porte to the men- acing concentration of Albanians at Tusi. Abeddin Pasha, Minister of Foreign Affairs, expects to succeed in effecting a peaceable cession of territory to Montenegro without surrendering Dulecigno or Tusi. to compete in the match next week will com- rise Halford, Humphrey, Young, Fenton, aker, of the Third Middlesex Resiment, and Martin Smith.

Special Cable. Pants, July 17.—Stirring events have been crowded into this week. Rochefort’s arrival was the signal for a. workmen's demonstra- tion which reminds one of Garibaldi’s recep- tion in London. It was the outcome of the close sympathy which the working class had’ for the editor formerly of the Lantern, and had no insurrectionary character. Rochefort again occupies the editorial chair in the Rue Croissant. His journal, L’Intran- sigeamt, is a speculation of the Hebrew, Meyer, the actual proprietor of the Lantern. Rochefort has a ‘secured minimum sal- ary of 1,000 frances daily, and theee centimes on every five | copies circulated above 40,000. His first article was hesitating and confused. His second edi- torial was on Gambetta, who, he assumes, when the Chambers decidea on elect- ing reneral _ ticket, wil date Deputies on a put himself forward as a candi- in sixtv de come MAYNARD, Loxnos, July 17.—Mr. Maynard left Con- staneinonle on the 16th inst, homeward oun RUSSIA. AN AMERICAN LION, St. Perensnune, July 17.—The presence here, attended by a staff of experts, of Barker, the American, has given rise to tne most varied rumors concerning the introduction of the grain-elevator system, construction of a Siberian railway, and exploration of the iron and coal districts of Southern Russia. It is believed the Government is determined to appropriate a considerable sum to the en- largement of the fleet, and it is reasonable to Suppose Barker, who is. backed by a popertut American syndicate, is avilling to ieip the Government, Barker hasyery much astonished Russia by the scrupulots honesty with which, under disadvantageous circum- stances, he fultilled his former contract for supplying cruisers, and he has been received here with singular favor. He was even ad- mitted to a private audience with the Czar, . LESSOVSKI. . Onessa, July 17.—Admiral Lessoyski sailed to-day fur Port Said.

Authentic returns from certain States have changed somewhat the calculations that the results of the primary elections showed Gen. Gonzales to be elected President. Some ir- regularities occurred in some of. the States in the late primary elections, but nothing as bad as in furmer times. now believed that no election wil! result by the people, and that the elections wili be thrown into Con- gress. It is also believed that, if Congress confirms the election of Gen.

In Asia Minor, where each rovince has its distinctive peculiaritios, we Eave fifteen Irelands to deal with.” ROME. PAPAL AFFAINS, , Rome, July 17.—The Diritto says Signor Vannutelli had a long andience to-day with the Pope. Contrary to custom, no one was present at the interview. Signor Vannutelli has not paid his usual visit afterwards to Cardinal Nina, supposed to be because the Pope disapproved of Cardinal Nina’s con- duct of the Belgian question. SOUTH AFRICA. THE BASUTOS. Care Town, July 17.—The Basute Chief Letza sent his guns to the Magistrate who is charged to receive surrenderd arms, but they were stopped en-route and seized by Chief Letza’s suns, Masupha and Letsorodi, who oppose the Government in the disarmament. question.

Panis, June 29.—By his speech on the Amnesty bill, which has been placarded over Paris, M. Gambetta, without taking posses- sion of office, has become in the eyes of France and the world thé real personification of Government. Time and circumstances have cleared the way, and the force of things has made him the pivot of every political combination. In <Augtist, 1875, you pud- lished an article on Freach pretenders, who were then eight in number,—M.

Panama, July 6.—Ibe most important news from the South, after the particulars of the taking of Tacnaand Arica by the Chili- ans, is the announcement that Peru and Bolivia are about to enter into a confedera- tion und become one country, under one flag and one Governinent, aiid to be known asthe United States of Peru and Bolivia, ‘The pre- liminary basis of union has already been drawn up and signed in Lima by the duly- authorized representatives of the respect- ive Governments, aud has been laid be- of State of Peru, which body fills the position occupied by Congress previous to the Dictatorship. The protocol, which is a leng: almost a constitution in article thus defines the object of the union: “Peru and: Bolivia shall fori’ one nation, to be named the United'States of Peru and Bolivia. This union‘-rests on the public rights of Americans, And is formea for the purpose of securing independence and in- violability, the peace at home and security abroad, of the States comprised in it, and to he: romote their development and prosperity.” What the real object of the union Nan Bei or -What benefits are to be derived from it, ‘are not yet clear to most persons. In Lima it is believed by miny that the leading object of the confederation is to checkmate Chill in her long-cherished project of concluding a sepa- rate peace with Bolivia by offering her the Department of Moquegua, with Area, in the south of Peru, for her chief seaport, in ex- chenge for Antofagasta. This would have suited Chili very well, as she would have &nined possession of the whole of the nitrate Gistricts and southern guano deposits, and have had Bolivia wedged in between her and her hereaiter deadiy enemy, Peru. But 30 eee Ching diplawiatists ‘pave failed in this, now what they gain by the sword they will have to hold by the sword. “J fe THE TAKING OF TACNA. "he most concise account pndlished on the const of the taking of Tacna and Arica isthat given by the Lima correspondent of the Star and Heratd. Frow it is taken the following: in the battle of ‘Tacna it now turns out that Viee-Adiiral Montero very wisely clined the coumand offered him by Campero on the day before. The disposition of the allied forees having heen made by the latter, the former refused to assume so grave a responsibility xt so critical a moment. The rnny, It is now asserted, only consisted Peruvians and 3,200 Bolivians, 8, | besides some 2,000 more in Arica, too far off to render any assistance. The allied forees were divided into two wings, the left wing under Col. Camacho, and the right un- der Campero. ‘The Chilians, instead tacking in front, “as _ seems to have been anticipated; poured their Whole force on the left wing, which vas reinforced again and again from the re- serves under. Viee-Adiniral” Montero’s com- es that could be brought up could repel the impetuosity and stubborn- ness ef the attaci: on the left wing, and the reserves which had been sent to its assist- ance were finlly driven back on the already weakened right wing. With an enemy double his own in numbers at the outset, five times the artillery possessed by the allies, and the army now flushed with sure signs ot victory, Montero could not hope to win the'day, although he fought, as all seem to have fought, as brave and good soldiers should fight, until he was compelled to retire aatily leave Tacna to the tender mercies of i. , TUE LAST CARTRIDGE. “After this terrible disaster it was seen that Arica inust fall. Once the conquerors had reorganized their force, they sent 6,000 men by train to Linta, where they encamped onthe 4th of June, under the command of Gen. Baquedano. He, apparently unwilling to shed blood unnecessarily, and knowing the little garrison could not hold the place, however much they might -resist, sent in a flag of truce, and, while complimenting his foes, asked them to surrender, The answer Was characteristie,—‘Not until the last cart- ridge is fired.’ Once more he sent, and again Bolognesi, after consulting with his braye brother officers, returned the same answer, and then prepared to fight to the last. Beloguest was the General in command, Juan Moore, was in command — of the ‘Morro and = =—_Lagomarsino — of. the Manco Capac. The Peruvians seem to have been under the same delusion here as at Tacna. They had made every provision for ‘heir enemies in‘ the front, while the batteries of San José, Santa Rosa, and the Morro were to keep up a well-sustained fire on the Lord Cochrane, the Magallanes, Covadenga, and Itata, which were sure to‘ open fire. But, alas for human calculations! the enemy inarched around, taking a large ireuis trom their encampmentat Lluta to the ilageof Azapa, occupying inthe march the nights of theS5th and 6th inst. At daybreak of the 7th the men in the newly-constructed forts to the east of the Morro saw no signs oi the cnemy, but at the booming of a gun from seaward the ground was alive with Chilians, and with one splendid charge they took the first fort in the rear, killing every soul whihin it ‘The next was taken in like manner, and every man there also bayoneted. While this was Bola on the gnus from the Morro were fully occupied with the Ciilian squadron, and had such not been the case they could not have been turned against the foe now preparing for one final rus to capture this post so long de- sired, ‘Che charge was made, and, after a perate fight, hand to hand, it fell, a few only of its gallant defenders escaping to the Pi. where they all gallantly met their jeaths. *.©'The San José and Santa Rosa batteries wereunderminedand the yaults were stocked with explosives connecied with the Morro by | electric -wires, the intention belng, if they should fall into the possession of the enemy, to blow them up. Itis asserted that Moore, before he received his death wound, touched ths fatal button and destroyed them. Some four hundred Peruvian soldiers were blown up with the battery of Santa Rosa, they not having had time to vacate it. AT SEA, The fight seaward, too, was severe: The hrane, we learn from Chilian sourees, received one shell, whi entering one of her ports, killed twenty-six men; the Coya- donga received several shots, and, according to rapurts from the same yuarters, had to be run aground. And the Menco Capee? When Lugotnarsino saw the hights taken he knew ‘us but one hope for him, and that was to sink his ship. So, steaming gently out, the plugs w opened, he and hig.imen took to the boats, and the ship keeled over and went to the bottom. Beloved as he by the commanders of the neutral vessels, the laws of ueutrality would not allow them to sive im ‘on board, and he finally sur- ‘oc ered himself « prisoner to the Captain of. the tata. In less than three hours from the. firing of the first shot all was over and the Chilian fleg waved triuniphantly over Arica, For- uinately the foreign men-of-war had taken on board hundreds of women and children of different nationalities, otherwise the. hor- rors would have been eased a thousand fold. The victorious soldi in the city, the wine stores and in the afternoon Arica w: f be wise after the event is proverbially easy, and so I cannot help adding that if the Chilians were as numerically strong us they are said to have been on the 2th ult. it seems as if Campero should never have risked a batile in open ground where it was simply sible fur jim to maintain iis position. ‘The news was received here very quietly.

DEVLORABLE OUTRAGES. “Later advices confirm that the Chilian soldiers were permitted to sack the city, the restut being, according to an eye-witness, thut there is not a single house left standing in acomplete condition. The miserable ex- cusé given by the Chilian officers for this outrage was that they could not control their men. Admiral Riverds has declared that if the Chiliaus come Lima will share the same fate as Arica.—be xiven over to ahorde of drunken savages, because, forsooth, ‘we cannot restrain our men.’ I say if this ts allowed it will be a scandal to Europe and to every civilized Power whieh has its repre- sentatives on this coast and its men-of-var flonting idly by. ‘These are outrages which could be prevented and ought to be revented, and if the United States and Purope had taken up the question after Bollendo had. been sacked Arica might have been saved from wanton destruction, and Lima and its women.and children un- threatened.” , deaths, miracles, * ‘Adiniral Montero is said to have arrived at Puno on the lth ult, after his retreat from Tacna.

Bernhardt for Deserting the Comedie Francaise. A Russian Story of the Grand-Duke Alexis’ Experiences in New York. The Duchess de Houchy and Her Receptions—An Academic Hutual-Admiration Society. Special Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune. Pants, June 24.—Instead of - absenting itself from Cumédie Francaise, -and donning the figurativesackeloth and ashes, on account of the absence of Mile. Sara Bernhardt, as the great artist had anticipated, the fashion- able world of Paris has welcomed her sub- stitute, the new Clorinde, with great en- thusiasm and brilliant houses. At the last performance Mile. Grévy was in cream-col- ored satin with black velvet trimmings; the Countess de In Rouchefougauld-Bisaccia, in white satin and point de Venise, with a coiffure of ruby plumes; the Princess Bien- coyano, in bleu-lac, with a crown of pansies; the Vicomtessedte Ganay, in robe of style Louis XVL, with fichu Genlis, and coiffured with many colored roses. The celebrated beauty, Mme. Bischoffsheim, wore a robe of light-biue combined with the color cheveanx de Ia reine, heavy with silk embroidery, and ornamented with gold buttons and wild flowers on the corsage, and similar flowers in her hair. Mme. Stanley was all in rose, with a chapeau Van Dyck, also in rose-color, and long ostrich-plumes; while equally charming costumes greeted you on every hand. It is very. evident the Comédie Francaise IS NOT MOPING ® over the departure of Mile. Sara to England; and, mortifying as this fact is to the lady’s pride, she 1s not only obliged to acknowl- edge it, but also that her place has been ad- vantageously filled by her rival in order to decrease the amount of. damages demanded by Mf. Perrin, Director of “La Maison de Moliére.” “What harm,” asks her lawyer, “has the departure of Mlle. Sara Bern- hardt inflicted on the Comédie Frangaise?’» M.: Perrin demands . 300,000 francs for damages sustained by her action; but the Court cannot allow such a charge in view of the trifling loss to the theatre!” M. Barboux, the lawyer of Mile. Bernhardt, commienced,his argument by stating that he did not intend to justify his client, but mere- ly demanded that the damages should be granted in conformity with injury sustained by the theatre, which, he maintained; was very trifling. The plea of indisposition was brought forward by M. Barboux, which he stated, had prevented her from obeying all the demands of the inexorable manager. In substantiation of this he produced a letter written by Mile. Bernhardt and addressed to M. Perrin in the early part of the present year. “This letter,” he said, “is full of touching melancholy.” But the Court did not'seem to be impressed with the same idea, as the lawyer’s sad expression of coun- tenance, as he read the touching missive, was by no means contagious in the assembly. ile, Bernhardt therein recounted the sut- ferings she had endured on account of hav- ing exposed herself to fulfill a sacred and imperative duty demandedof her by Heaven. She was commanded, she stated, to cross the threshold of the New Year ina cemetery, and there to pray for the souls of the dead; and in the performance of this holy: duty she tooka violent culd, which so weakened her that she had been unable to attend all the re- hearsals required of her since. “ This,” added Af. Barbout, “was the cause of her failure in ‘L’Aventuriere.’” The law- yer went on to say that the public had spoiled le. Bernhardt; the adulation she received would have turned stronger heads than hers; and this also is worthy of consideration in a case where heavy damages are demanded, a3 the public is ina ereat measure responsible for her caprices. In the consideration of her lawyer, Mile. Bernhardt WAS SUFFICIENTLY PUNISHED, as the following humiliating language proyes: “She is no longer of ‘the Maison de Molitre; she is of little account when separated from that classic temple where she Teisned a queen, and you have ¢reated pow- erful rivals in her place. This is sufficient for such a sensitive nature,—a nature so sad and dreary, classical and romanti¢; a daugh- ter of Racine, nursed by the shadowy poesy of the North; one of those fanciful creations with which Shakspeare has pcopled his ‘Midsummer-Night’s Dream.’ ? after a few remarks, Deputy Brugnon gave his opinion as follows: *No one can place themselves beyond the law; no artist, no matter how renowned, has a right to break a.legal contract by caprice:” and the cuse was referred to the next session of the Court for Judgment. “AL. Allon, the lawyer of M. Perrin, was very severe in reviewing the conduct of Mile. Bernhardt, remarking: “ [will show. you a woman dazzled by gold, who has. just sold herself to the Devil. Butthechastisement will come; she will be punished for havin left the Comédie Frangaise. England and America will not understand her, and, if her fortune increasus, her renown will fade ait) But,” explained M. Allon, with great vehemence, “these moral chastise- ments are net enough; there must be some- thing positive; therefore we demand from Tile. a Bernhardt the sum of 300,000 francs tor damuges. Mer pride will be satisfied with this sum. It js the same amount formerly demanded from Rachel. A sum amply justifiable. a3 we lose anactress beloved by the public, and who belgngs tous. She is 35 years old: will this be told in America, or will it be necessary to decrease it? Atall events, that is of no im- portance here, as her career is far from its end, and she has nothing to dread from obesity, that. misfortune so common to wonien as they tdvance in life. ‘Therefore, as her engagement with the Comédie Fran- gaise extends sixteen years longer, it will ily be perceived . that the sum demanded for the violation of this contract I NOT UNREASONABLE. In 1879,” continued Sr. Allon, ‘she hada wonderful success in England. Her value as an artist, her elegance as a woman, her talent as a sculptor, and almost as a littéra- teur, seduced the London public, and.she received brilliant offers for. the following season, which she accepted, without speak- ing of this new engagement to. the Director of the Comédie Francaise. She took good care not to mention it, but on the first pretext departed.” M. Allon continued his appeal ina manner greatly at variance with the touching melanetioly. with which M. Barboux had invested his heroine,— satirically alluding to her having lowered herself by signing a contract with some American Barnum, and of the vulgar curi- osity to which she would be exposed in America. - ‘The opposing counsel denied that she was going to Americn in search of dollars: *“Kuchel went there.” he said, “tand returned impoverished and dying.” The duties of Mile. Bernhardt were tuo arduous, he main- tained, and she was obliged to seek engage- ments elsewhere; “the chords of the Jyre had vibrated too long; they were weakening, and ere long wouid be broken.” A year ago this capracious ‘actress was guilty of asimilar transgression, but soon repented, and gladly returned to the Théatre Francais, and M. Perrin. knowing the nature of this excitable woman, expected to see her return as ‘on the former oceusion, and even now BEGAEDS SUCH A RESULT AS NOT IMPROBA- BLE. In view of the enormous damages she will be coinpelled to pay for violating her con- tract here, she muy prefer to make an ar- rangement with her foreign manager to re- lease her, and return tu the theatre where she will be more highly appreciated than any other inthe work. In the event of her go- ing to America, she-will never be grateful for any kindness or adinirati extended to her there, her. selfis nature. demanding more than it is in the possibility of mortals to bestow. In fact, this seems to be the ease with most celebrl ties returning from foreign tours, wi only lack an appreciation of the attentions they have received, but distort them ina ridiculous manner. I have at this moment before me the’Hedyela, 2 St, Petersburg ga- zette, from which extract the following re- garding the visit of ‘fos Grand-Dule Ales Alexaudrowitch to erica: rand- Duke. sojourned at a hamble hotel. He vas constantly surrounded by_ report- ons who never allowed the poor Princes 4 2 moment's repose, in the theatre, or in the street, or even in the hotel. He was tioned about himself, Russia, ‘the Russians, the Court of St. Petersburg, private concerns, and on every subject impertinence can de. vise. They even desired to know how he erformed his toilet, how he undressed; how e slept, etc.; nnd many requested, without success, to remain with him all night. At length one managed to secrete himself in the bed-chamber of the Grand-Duke, where HE REMAINED HIDDEN UNDER A TABLE. Great was the surprise of his Highness, when. ‘he read in the morning papers the hour at which he had retired; how he had_ undress- ed; when he extinguished. bis candle {?}; on which side he slept; that he went. to slee; immediately on retiring, and snored; at wha time he arosa, ete. Thiszedition had extraor- dinary success, and the Grand-Dake Taughed heartily when, on the following day, nt the table-d’hote, the. correspondent re- counted the hisfory of the affair. ‘O heroes of journalism!’ he exelaimed at the conclusion of the recital.” ‘The Hedyeta only recently received this account from its New York correspondent, who probably can- tents himself with the idea that Americans do not understand the Russian language, and therefore the existence of the humble hotel with which he embellishes the troubles of the Grand-Duke will never be disputed. It is true, Americans are frequently too demon- strative in their admiration for foreign celet- rities; but this is far less censurable than the gross exaggerations of the recipients‘of these attentions, who distort — mis- taken_ kindness into senseless ridicule. The New York correspondent of the Hed- elu is evidently Ignorant of the interior ar- Tangements of the great hotels of that city when he speaks of extinguishing candles, and probably pictures. his own humble-resi- dence, in his Ignorance of establishments which have no equal in all Russix, At all events, he sad! ly misrepresents the magnificent hotel.at which the Grand-Duke sofourned while in New York, when he sneeringly speaks of it as a humble dwelliig.. To return to Paris, however: I have first to note the grand receptions of ‘ THE HOTEL MOUCHY, : which have already commenced, and which will continue until .August. A review of toilets at tlie first reception given here last week would be Interesting as authentic speci- mens of the modes tor the coming season; but, in view of the iinpossibility of doing so. in the compass of this letter, will merel: State that the guests of the Duchess de Mouchy were remarked for the elegant sim- piicity of their costumes,—many of the skirts wing perfectly plain, but of cent material. In the revival of these fates, at the Iotel Mouchy, we recail the time when little Anna, now Duchess de Mouchy, played with the village children in Bordentown, where. she . was born, and where her early childhood was assed, far away from regal surround- ngs. Her father, Prince Lucien Murat, who fied to America on the downfall of his uncle, married a Miss Fraser. of New Jer- sey, subsequently known in Paris as the rincess Murat, and who died some two years ago, inuch lamented by Parisian socl- ety. ‘The Duchess often refers to her New Jersey home, where atone period her mother kept School in order to support the family during her husband’s misfortunes, or rather his extravagance, for he squandered fortunes in his pursuit of pleasure. Prominent among literary receptions may be mentioned that_of the Duke WAumale, whose chatean welcomed last week THE IMMORTALS OF THE ACADEMIE FRAN- CAISE. A grand dinner was_ served, which was greatly enjoyed, notwithstanding this was especially an intellectual feast These sayants are very clannish, and admire each other exceedingly, as all receptions of new members of the Académie serve to demon- strate. On these occasions the new candidate addresses a compliment to the Académie; the Director replies with another compli- ment; ani, in fact, every one compliments each other. And Jam here reminded of an incident of an- Englishman, who asked Voltaire where he could tind a history of the Academie Frangaise. ‘“Thete is no history,” answered Voltaire: “but there are sixty to ‘eighty vol- umes of compliments in ”” ‘The En- rint.’ glishman obtained some of shese, and discov- ered that Voltaire was correct. “All that find here,” said he, * is, that, the new them- ber having pronounced his’ predecessor a great man, the Cardinal Richelieu a very great man, the Chancellor Séquir quite a great man, the Director auswered in the same manner, adding that the new member might be a great man, and that he (the Di- Fector) would always stand by him.” These Academic harangues have been compared to those solemn masses where: the ofilciating priest, having thrown incense over all pres- ent, ends by throwing it over himself. -You may imagine, therefore, how this mutual- admiration society enjoys itself on festive occasions. p ALL LITERARY PARIS was convene at the salons of Mme.

Excitement Caused by 2 Rumor of His Death. Special Dispatch to The Chicaco Tribune. New York, July 18.—The city was thrown into a state of considerable excitement last evening by « rumor to the effect that ex-Gov. Samuel J. Tilden was dead. No one had any positive information to the contrary, and so, though the aged politician was not known to be In particularly ill health, the mere fact that he is an old man, and not avery robust one, was sufficient to give an air of. probability to the painful re- port. A reporter was dispatched to Mr. Tilden’s residence, in Gramercy Park, at half-past 11 o’clock. Mr. Tilden had left town for Greystone, -his country residence, near Yonkers, on the Hudson, on Thursday last, and was not at that time under the in- fluence of any malady. His clerk, John Keogh, had Jeft him in his usual health at Greystone during the evening. and no dis- patch announcing any change in his condl- tion had since been received. A Among politicians the rumor that the for- mer chieftain of the Democratic party had been so suddenly taken off caused 2 pro found sensation. In club-houses and the cor ridors of the hotels the probability of -its trnth was discussed, and there was much de- bate as to the effect of Mr. Tilden’s demise upon the Presidential campaign, in which it was believed he Intended to play an important part. The rapidity. with which the news spread from one end of the city to the other, and from side to side, was almost inarvelous, and the denial of its authenticity did not follow closely on the heels of the original story. In fact, many men returned to their homes this morning in the belief that one of the most distin- gitished of American politicians had just passe | from the scene of his many strugzles and Flewrles, his trials and bitter disappoint- ments. a Cleopatra’s Needle.
