AFFAIRS IN EUROPE. Our London Corresposdence, Lonpon, May 26, 1853. The “ Uncle Tom” Stowe Reception at Al- smack’s—Minute Accownt of the Assemblage—Jo- seph Sturge andthe Marble Bust—The Professor and his Harangue—Mrs. Stowe is Inspected by John Bull—She Won't Shake Hands with Him— John Nods his Head at Her, and Talks of More Money, §c., Fc. AB may naturally be expected, there is a uniform sameness and identity in all the cases in which Mrs. B. Stowe is received in public. The account of one is an account of all; and although the names of | places are varied, and the names of the leaders and ebairmen at the meetings, yet in fact each party and meeting is 4 re-production of the same people, and of one same special class. In all cases it is a de- monstration made by the exclusive pious class; a | gathering for their glorification, where they talk of | what they have done and what they are going to do, They bave been going on at this rate for many years | past, boasting what super-eminent, active, energetic Christians they were, par excellence, above all others, | and how they were going to Christianize and reform | the whole world. But the more busy they have been, the more has true Christianity fallen into contempt; while the Jworld which they think they are ope- rating upon has become, if possible, more worldly, | selfish and wicked. They are the claas of Protestant Jesuits, and whenever they have had full power and | opportunity, they have shown the wretchedness of | their pretensions. Witness the Sandwich Islands. I attended the soirée given to Mrs Stowe at | Almack’s rooms, on Wednesday last. A alight. | graphic sketch of it will be sufficient. At an early | hour the large and elegant room was filled with peo | ple, the greater proportion being ladies, all evidently by their manners and dress, of the bourgeors class, | anda large proportion Quakers, It was an assem | Dlage of the people whose ideas of trath, justice, ind | virtue consist in following with zeal the various re- ligicus schemes or other shows of the day, such as temperance, teetotalism, peace, abolition, ocean steamers, postage, tract societies, Bible societies, &c. The visit of Mrs. S. to England has given quite a lift to these people. They exist only by having every now and then some thrilling public exhibition—something calcu- lated to excite and amuse the multitude. At one time it is a Hindoo prince; at another time a con- | verted Esquimaux or Mahomedan, or Jew; at ano- ther time a biack man, to tell of the horrors of slavery; at another time a missionary, to relate his | own wonderful exploits, &c., &c. All this helps to keep up excitement, and revive the fading zeal of | the multitude, which is entrapped by all these exhi- bitions. Precisely such an assembly met together to | gee Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. The meeting | was detained a long time waiting for the arrival of | the lioness, the present object of the momentary adoration of a multitude ever ready to shout and exult at any new bis oe presented them for admira- tion and worship. Meantime a marble bust of the | lady was elevated on the platform till she herself should appear, and occupied the most promiuent lace til! it was removed behind, tomake way for the airman. At length Mrs. S. made her appearance, coming on to the elevated platform by a side door, | and her appearance was the signal for the endearing applause of the dear creatures assembled to do her honor. In exterior manner and deportment, Mrs. | Stowe bore with becoming modesty and propriety | the show made of her. She is much better looking | than the daguerrectypes and engravings in the shop | windows represent her to be. In her pictures itis a of a coarse, fat, vulgar, brazen-faced woman; but she is quite the reverse in fact, and in paleness | and elegance of figure, joined with ease and self- possession of deportment, is quite an American lady. What, however, her inwar been at seeing all this Uncle-Tom-foolery—how all this unmeaning, silly incense and insincere flattery worked uj being. She at all events had the skill and the tact to conceal every emotion. Joseph Sturge, the Quaker, then took the chair, and the address was read by an efficer of the Society. This document was tame, common-place, canting, artful and bombastic, made up to catch unthinking, superficial minds. It is a specimen. however, of the Janguage generally held forth to Mrs. S., and of the nes. : The address ha been read,and greeted, as of eourse, With a nominal applause, by the actors below, who performed in full accord, according to all the doings of the actors above on the platform, the large sheet of paper on which it was written was then handed to Mrs. S.and her husband, who sat close behind the reader. They received it, looked at it fora minutes, when it was laid upon tise table. Professor Stowe, as he is styled, thenrose, with spec- tacled nose, to address the expectant friends below. This gentleman is alsoa specimen of a class which, though known elsewhere, is yet 2 pecaliar genus of Massachusetts. It is the clerical, gold-headed cane schoolmaster class, which, once upon atime, asto nished the natives inall the States of the Union, b, ita superior primness, and which used to go fort’ from Massachussetts to become the leading school- | master and exhorter in the Southern States. Those | days, which we well recollect, are gone by, and the type has almost ceased to exist, or, at all events. to ow the learning of its spectacles and the profundity of its nF gees cane in those regions, once snch a rich field for clerical adveuturers from the North. | The class of men of this type is different now to what | it was then. I knew and often met with thea years ago in varions parts of the Union. Barring the prim assumption of a showy exterior and clerical dignity, they were—when not on show—clever, amiable fellows. But now they are become exclusive possessors of all the philanthropy and ail the piety in the world, and if you do not follow them and subscribe to their iustitations, you are guzsi ex- communicated. Professor Stowe is one of the tip- tops df this type, and is stamped with all its charac- terictics—its pomposity, itsairs, ite dignity, its pecu- Jiar mannerism. Mrs. Stowe, of the two, looks to be the better half: there are no airs nor manuerism about her. Weil, to make a Jong story short, this eminently and dis- tinguishedly pious looking and pious acting man made an ewinently pious harangue. The burden of his song was the same as in all his similar exhibi- tions; for the poor man has no ideas, and no capa- city for uttering even the ideas of others. He has one idea, viz., that he and his coadjators are the eminently aud the only pious, and that they are doing, and are going to do wonders, and make tue world better and different to what it ever has been, and to what the Scriptare of truth de: ves it to be. And, then, after he and his folks have done all their wonders, (or, as is always the case with thein, are just on the point of doing tuem, and only ve- uire a few more generous subscriptions and liberal id,) after they have done all, they ing im the name of the Almigity,as a second class helpmate, and what has been done by them they trust aad hope is all by the aid and help of Him! When the Professor had concluded his old song, which he has repeated in different tuues at every place in which he has been, the chairman concluded the business of the meeting by pro- ing to raise a fund of money to be given | Mrs. Stowe, for her to employ it as she | may think best, in promoting the various great | causes which those various Hg have in band. | After this, Mrs. Stowe was placed ina chair close | upon the edge of the platform, and the crowd below led past her, and—looked at her! It was in | fact a review of Mrs. Stowe. Special notive had been repeatedly given thatno shaking of bands would be allowed, ‘and, therefore, the motly company was confined to the gratification of looking at her and nodding ater as they filed by. We left them all nodding- vi wed along the refreshment rooms— took or rather snatched a cup of tea and bit of cake and absquatulated rather disappointed, we mus confess, at the bootless display. ALBEMARLE sTREZT, ProcaDILty, } Lonpon, May 27, 1853. { The “ Derby Day"—The Course, the Start, th Race, and the Struggle to Win—Turkey and Russa—The Queen's Birthday and the Queen's Dockyards—* Uncle Tom,” Mazzini, and Pope Mastin the Fifth—Theatricals, §%., §c. Never within our recollection was there so inte- resting an event as the celebrated meeting, ‘‘ The Derby,” this year. The extraordinary fineness of the weather cansed the gathering to be more than usually great ; and from an early hourin the morning the trains from London Bridge brought immense crowds of every description of persons, all anxious to wit: | ness the great race of world-wide reputation, which on this occasion more than any previous, has excited ®@ vast deal of interest. Indepeadently, however, of those; who came down by railroad, there were great numbers who vehicles, every variety of y rying along the read to the scene of action, ‘s donkey-c to the aristocratic ng four-in-hand, recalling the a forgotten glories of the “ road down” on the De day. The first race ron was for the Carew stakes won by Mr. Sykes" three year old colt; but the chief excitement was later in the day, as the tine sppreached fer the ¢ From Tott me by their own or hired ich might be seea hur | in it some months ago. emotions mast have | mn her vanity—can be knéwn to nohuman | mind of the people who old it.“ Exuad disce oia- corner far beyond the stand houge, might be seen a dense sea of human beings on both sides of the course; and this reached its maximum when the telegraph board announced that twenty-eight horses were to start for what Lord George Bentinck called “the blue ribbon of the turf.” The horses soon afterwards cautered up the course from the paddock; and after due time allowed for the inspection of the candidates, they were put in charge of Mr. Hibbert, and taken to the starting post, from which they set off in capital style, at the first signal. Nothing could pe more exciting and beautiful than the scene then presented. The grand stand was extremely gay with all the summer fashions, and the private stands were crowded with the members and friends of the stewards and the Jockey Club; in short, a more brilliant meeting, th as regards the numbers of the visiters and the fineness of the weather, has never been seen_on m Downe. All got off in a cluster, except Cumberland, Strathemore, Cheddar and Cineas starting in front; but they had searcely proceeded half-way up the hill when Umbriel took up the running, with Cheddar, Orestes, Cineas and Ethelbert close in his wake, fol- lowed by Pharos, Honeywood and Filbert—West Australian, with Siltingbourne, being the next in succession. No material cranes too place until they arrived at the turn, when Rattle went on with the lead, but at the road he in turn was passed by Cineas, and West Australian, with Siltingbourae close behind him, was seen to draw forward. Atthe distances these two singled out themselves, and a very exciting race home ended in favor of Australian (ridden ae Butler) by a neck, who was fol- lowed by Siltingbourne and Cineas, Rataplan making a good fourth. The race was run in two minutes and tifty-six seconds, and the stakes amounted to £5,425. The other races were for the Epsom town ) plate, won by Mr. Drinkald’s Snarry; the Great Ex- bition plate of 100 sovereigns, won by Mr. Magin- nis’ Olair-de-lune, and the Durdans stakes by Lord Londesborough’s Gold Dust; but these were minor affairs, and seemed to excite bu* little interest, after the Derby had been once decided. The betting on the Derby, at starting, was six to four against \Vest Australian, five to one Sanat Orestes, s’x to one against Honeywood, eight to one against Silting- bourne, and thirty to one against Cineas. Among the leading fashiouablea were the Duke de Nemours the French Ambassador, the Dukes of Richmond and Montrose, the Marquises of Exeter and Clanricarde and the Marchbioness ot Aylesbury, the Earls of Jer- sey, Derby, Wilton, Chesterfield, Besborough, Gran- ville and liers and Maidstone, Count Bentevoglio, Baron and Baroness Rothschild, Lords Burleigh, Exmouth and Londesborough, Sir Robert Peel, Sir Sandford Gra- ham, General Anson, the Hon. W. Bagot, Admiral Rous, &c. The oe fine throughout, and the heat was intense. e road om the return was as amusing as in the most thronged days of the olden time; and the parties in earriages were so covered with dust that, forsooth, they appeared more like whitened millers than the spruce, well-dressed gen- tlemen who went down in the morning. Never, per- haps, was there a Derby day which gave more gene ral satisfaction. The rejection of Prince Menschikoff's ultimatum by the Sultan seems to Jeave no room for doubt a3 to the results. War now appears quite inevitable; and from our own naval movements it is more than pro- bable that England is likely to assist the Sultan against his northern foe. Thus we are pretty sure of a continental war; and i’faith,if our ministers had acted in a manner worthy of this great country, which has so long maintained the ce between the European nations, we should have been engaged i Lord Aberdeen, however, has 4 yearning for the Czar, and threugh fear of of- fending him, has not @ little sacrificed the dignity of the ¢ountry under his management. It is to be hoped that now things are come to this pass we shall no longer have to Se ere of the shilly-shally policy of our ministers, but that they will at once interfere | a put a stop'to those aggressive movements of the ‘ussian Autocrat, which threatem not only the peace, but the independence of Southern Europe. At any rate, the appointment of Reschid Pacha as Fo- | reign Minister in the Ottoman Court, argues no in- tention on the part of Turkey to give way to the Czar; and it is to be hoped that France and Eng- land will both assist their old ally, and give the | Russians a severe lesson as to their future conduct. The abominable system of bribery that has loag prevailed at all dock yard elections, and which has very receutly and most properly been exposed, will, we trust, cause some of our liberal members in the Houre of Commons to propose a vote of censure on the late Beard of Admiralty. The cases of Chat- ham and Plymouth are too gross to be passed over in silence, and the country will not allow the cou- duet of the Duke ef Northumberland and Mr. Stafford to pass without a very marked expression of disapproval of their mal-versatious in oflice. John Bull pays taxes to support the navy of his country, but he will scarcely be content to have his pockets picked to pay the electioneering expenses of the admiralty candidate What is wanted, however, is | not a mere resolution, but the enactment of a law to distranchise all persons government employ, | whether naval, military, or civil. Nothing less than this wiil secure that ity of election which Wag- land professes to desire, aud which, we trast, it will ere long possess. | Teesday last was a day of great gaiety in London, op account of our beloved Queen's natal day. Ail the household troops were reviewed by Lod Har- dinge and his staff; and in the evening the leading Minisiers of State gave dinners to the mili- tary and diplomatic bodies, the judges, &c. At night, too, there was a very general illumination at the West End. The elub houses were beautifully resplendent with devices in gas, and many of the | Queen's tradesmen exhibited very splendidly in | bonor of her Majesty—the handsomest of all being those by Howell & James, Nicoil the tailor, Jay in Regent street, &c. The petticoat agitator, Mra. Stowe, continues to excite great interest among the Exeter Hall saints, who seem to look upon the little lady as some one of more than human talent. Her husband, too, is al- | most daily making speeches against slavery, aud ab- surdly abusing the [English for encouraging North American slavery by the use of slave grown cotton —as if, forsooth, he was not doing the very same thing himselt. We admire consistency, and Buch a flagrant breach of it makes him ridiculous in the eyes of all thinking persons. It is to be hoped that these agitators will soon move their quarters; and we shall be quite delighted when they return to their own native country, and cease to annoy us with their | vapid tirades against the United States, with whose internal and domestic ever to interfere, whe thing else. ‘The Italian patriot, Mazzini, has once more re- turned to the shores of England, much to the gra- tification of the thousands of our countrymen who Ry pathize in the etruggle of the people of italy by their hereic leader. His efforts, it is true, have this time been defeated, but the people of Italy are not dismayed; and his safe return, after his exposare to the united efforts of the Austrian, Piedmontese and French governments for his capture, is a strong proof of the generous devotion and fidelity of the people of Italy towards their beloved lead cure; nor need he fear the surt ce here of Ans- trian or Prossian spies, or of Lord Palmerston and his new police. t would appear that dead Popes can obtain ¢arcely more respect than ia grauted to their living Apes we have no right waat- eras regards slavery or any- | successors, for one of the defanct successors of St. Peter lias been plundered in his own coffia.

The Grand Encampment i The Imperial ‘Finances—Opposition of Count de Montalembert to the Emperor—Marshal Ney’s Widow—Ilus- trious Arrivals—A Royal Negro—The United States Squadron—Russia, Turkey, China, Italy, Greece, §c., Fe. The most important gyent of the week is the es- tablishment of the Camp of Satory, where 10,000 men of infantry and 5,000 of cavalry have been sent | the more to live in open air, and to learn the habits of soldiers, where they are on duty in peace, to prepare forthe time of war. The “would-be” reason given for this useless encamping of the troops in such an insalubre place as Satory, which is a sort of swamp, where no sweet water is to be found, and which, no doubt, will be a cemetery for the unfortunate soldiers, during the burning days of June, July, and August, ‘The only reason is “ strategy,” and the necessity of teaching the soldiers the art of war, which, after such along time of peace with foreign powers, is totally forgotten by the new regiments of the army. Such is the reason now given by the Emperor; but the true cause of this agglomeration and muster of 15,000 men, without mentioning the army now in the barracks of Paris and its suburbs, is the fear en- tertained that a coup demain—an attempt to over throw the imperial government—might be undertaken ere long, despite the d silence of the press, not only ia France, bat in the other countries of Europe. The deeds and bombastic steps of the Emperor are far from being popular. The treasury of the govern- ment is somewhat empty, and the expenses dally incurred by order of Louis Napoleon are already enormous. No one can tell how immense will be the bankruptcy of France when this whole affair shall burst up; but it is sure that, if not totally blown up, he credit of France will be shaken for some years. In prevention of a coup de main, the Emperor desires o be shouldered by a large number of troops, and he camp of Satory has been ordered, and imme- diately formed, without paying any attention to the increase of expense. The words Aprés mot le Déluge seem to be the motto of Louis Napoleon. Marshal Magnan will command the troops of the Satory camp, which, as it must be known, is situated on the heights of Versailles, near St. Cloud, where the Emperor goes to rusticate with his courtiers, in company with tne Empress. They left yesterday morning for that palace, where they will remain ti the end of June next. A grand ball isto be given there on the 7th of next month, at which, on account of the immense rooms on the piazza and in the gar- dens, more than 7,000 persons are to be invited. A great scandal took place in the House of Re- presentatives, on the 20th inst., but owing to the repressive laws of the press, the private correspon- dents of the English and Belgian newspapers did not dare to publish the details of the affair till a few days ago, and even then part of what they published is void of interest. I will give the readers of the HERALD a full report of that incident, which may be considered as the most violent oppo- sition offered to the principles of Louis Napoleon since the coup d'état. The Assemblée was examining the budget of the receipts, aud M. de Montalembert took that oppor- tunity of delivering a speech, which was an energetic protestation against the decree of the 22d of Janu- ary, 1852. The language uttered by the orator was concise and eloquent, and though several contemporaries of M. de Montalembert, viz. : Messrs. Barochie and Granier de Cassagnac, replied to himin & very irritated tone, the speech of the defender of the Orleans family was much approved of by many of his colleagues. His intention was to advise his contemporaries to reject the project of the budget, and to explain the reason why he intended to do se. He declared that the acceptation of that budget of the receipts of 1854, in which were included the re- ceipts collected by the sale of certain properties which had been taken out of the hands of the Or- Jeans family, seemed to him an implicit sanction of the decree by which the sale of these properties had been ordered, and that his conscience was opposed to any acceptation of a participation in such an ano- malous action, which was contrary to the eternal rights regnlating individual property. As may be supposed, the reply of M. de Cassagnac was bitter and vivlent. He reproached his antagonist aa to hav- | Ing sold his conscienee to Louis Napoleon; but M. ge Moxtalembert denied the fact, and declared that his only intention, whea he had taken rank in the Napoleon pry, was to help the government of the President Napoleon to reconstitute French society on @ new baris M. Billault, the Speaker of the House, also interrupted M. de Montalembert, and, among the numerous remarks which he made to him, declared that he had not to accept the mandate of a representative, if his intention was to make op- ion to the government, for he was not called there for any other thing but to vote in favor of the laws presented to his examination, and to that of his colleagues. The utmost confusion then reigned in the As:embly; but, despite this unexpected de- bate, the law was voted by 233 yeas, to 4 noes. The anger of Louis Nepoleon, when he knew what had taken place in the Assembly of the Legislative body, was extreme; but he was not able to do harm to M.de Montalembert, who had kept in his dis- course the more parliamentary reason, and the mat- ter was dropped, at least for the present. But Louis Napoleon remembers his enemies, aud no doubt he will not forget M. de Montalembert. The widow of Marshal Ney wrote, on Friday last, to the Chief of the State, declaring that she desired not to have any countenance given to a project of law which had been presented to the House, to ob- tain the arrears of the pension due to her as the wi- dow ef a marshal, from 1616 to 1830. She gave asa reason for her refusal the opposition which she knew would be made to that demand among the members of the legislative body. It is not known what answer has been made to Madame de la Moskowa, but it is | certain that the publication of her letter inthe Mont- | teur is equal to the withdrawal of the project. It is said that Louis Napoleon intends publishing a decree | which will grant a sum of money equivalent to the | arrears duc to the lady. The brother of his Majesty the King of Sardinia, H.R. A., the Duke of Genoa, who is travelling in Europe under the name of Count of Govone, arrived in Paris on Sunday last, from Dresden, accompanied by the Marquis of St. Marzano, Chevalier Dalla Valle, both captains of artillery, and his aid de camp and by the Marquis Rapallo, and Chevalier Avo- gadro, Lis officers of ordnance. The Ambassador of Piedmont, in Paris, Marquis de Villa Marina, ac- companied by all the employes of the Legation, and by Count Goyon, aid-de-camp to the Emperor, ou duty, to pay to the Duke of Genoa the compli- | ments of Louis Napoleon, were in attendance at the | railway deft to receive the royal guest of Fran The Duke of Genoa stops at the Legation of Pied: | mont. This illustrious personage was born at Turin on the 15th November, 1822, and is now thirty-one | years old. He was married in 1850, to Princess Mary Elizabeth, of Saxony, who is now at Dresden, among her rela The Prince is grand master of the Artillery of Piedmont, and he was present as com- mander in chief at the attack of Peschiera, during the revolutionary war of 1848 and 1549. On Monda; last he was received by Louis Napoleon at the Tui- leries, and attended, with him, the performanee of Roesini’s “ Moise,” at the Grand Opera House. We have also now, among the guests of France, a black warrior of the kingdom of Trarzos, the son of the King Mela ot of Africa, whojgis called Prince Sidi Amraan. This young man came bere uaoder the be of the Governor of Senegal, to visit France, and to finish his education, in order to propogate civilization among his negro subjects. It is generally hoped that this black pong man will soon acquire all the virtues of Mra. Beecher's “Uncle Toi.” The news received from Romo is of a better kind. The specie currency was more freely operated in, and the public treasury was alread, i its payments ott in specie and part in bank notes. The bills ave josing 14 per cent, whilst during the Mazziniat tion the discount was 47 per cent. The the railway from Rome to Fraszati, wh continued to Naples, hes been granted to M. agent of the firm of Masterman & Co., of Loni We learn from Naples the intelligence that the gov- ernment has ordered the of alarge nam- ber of people. Several di ished members of the bar have been put into jail, on the ground only that they had assisted in the defence of several po- litical prisoners. Among those who have been ban- ished from the kingdom, I mention the Marquis Luigi Dragonetti, formerly Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, a distinguished /rteratewr, and one of the most moderate and learned men of the Neapolitan King- dom. The King of Belgium and his son, the Duke of Brabant, leit Vienna, on the 22d of this month, f friendship with which they ¥ revolii- both re d, and the alliance of the royal prince with the imperial family of Austria, are considere n Eorope as aa eventof much importance—as a modification of the respective situations of the fi eign powe 1815, had towards E by the jealc hus bec an obatecle to prevent France, ase of @ wart 1g @ ive passage over its territu! No doubt that Hngland has also arranged all that ‘air of alliance between King Leopold, Russia, and austria.

He had returned to to com municate to Mme. Messlenghi, sister oasnth, a new plan of a revolution by the Magyars. Several persons have been arrested and hung. It is said that daring and knowing chiets of the country are concealed in the mountains, waiting for new orders. The most important news from Turkey is the change of ministry made by the Sultan, Abdul Mody. Mustapha Bashaw, (futher of Vely Bashaw, now Ambassador in Paris,) is named Grand Vizier ; Ali Bashaw, ex-Vizier, is named Minister of War ; Rifaat Bashaw, Minister of Justice ; Reschid Basliaw is also named Minister of Foreign A@tira. This change of mii is of very great and incontesta- ble Sr ine ‘o one can tell what Prince Mens- chikoff will do. The leading journals of the Parisian and English press, think that he will ask for his pass- orts. It iseven said that his ultimatum will pro- Face a declaration of war, and that Russia only awaits the end of the winter season in the Baltic Sea, to begin the war operations. Till the melting of the ice in the Northern Sea, it would be impossible to order the Russian squadron at Cronstadt to leave that port and come in the Mediterranean waters; and its co-operation is indispensable to Russia. It has been said by one of the English newspapers—the Morning Pest—that the “ only thing which will be brought back from his embassy by Prince Menschi- koff, will be an insult and much shame.” What a change in public opinion since a fortnight! And who can tell how will end this bombastic embassy of Kus- sia to Constantinople? From Athens we received the intelligence that an American squadron. of five men of war, had entered the harbor on the 2ist iust. Mr. Marsh, Minister of the United States at Sonvenenenle: was on boardof the Cumberland, and was coming to the court of Ring Otho, to obtain the redress of certain wrongs done to an American missionary, named King. The United States frigate Constitution was in the port of Algiers on the 14th inst., and sailed thence on the 16th inst. It is rumored in Paris that the Emperor intends to send a ficet in the Chinese seas, to have the influence of France respected there on the same footing as that of England, particelarly now that the Celestial Em- pines on the eve of being destroyed. Such a pre- nce of France is quite legitimate, and Louis Napo- leon.could gay, a8 i rancis I. used to say of Charles V. of Spain, ** I should like to know the paragraph of Adam’s will bequeathing to my cousin, the Empe- ror, the exclusive possession of America.” As Eng- land is there in China, why should the French not have the same right to be present? The Madiais, man and wife, arrived on the 20th inst. at Nice, on their way to Geneva, where it is their intention to reside. Monsignor Gaetano Bedini, Archbishop of Theba, and Ambassador at Rio Janeiro, left Paris yesterday for the United States and Mexico, where he has some important functions to perform. Mme. Cavaignac, wife to General Eugene Cavaig- nac, the hero of 1248, has given birth to a son. M. Moyhet, formerly Belgian consul in New York, is now at Brussels, where it appears he has been re- ceived with much honor by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He has been promised another consulship. P. S.—We received through the telegraphic wires a double despatch from Constantinople, which still leaves the question d’Ortent unsettled. The first despatch announces that Prince Menschikoft having Ret received any satisfactory answer from the Sub- lime porte to his ultimatum, had left the city and embarked at Odessa. He had, nevertheless, left be- hind him two secretaries, to whom he had given power to settle with the Sultan Abdal-Medjid. Tho second despatch announces that the new cabinet of the Sultan had fully agreed with the Ambasador of Russia, who had been received in private audience by the Emperor of Turkey.

The sun is bright over our heads, the heat is ex- treme, and the evening of each day is spoiled by a thunder storm, accompanied by lightning and show- ers, We are already in the heart of the summer sea- son, without having experienced the pleasures of the spring season, which is so celebrated in Europe, and particularly in France. Never, I dare say, for many years, has such inactivity of everything, natural and supernatoral, been felt on the continent. The French climate is changed, the French habits are no longer the same, the hearts of the politicians and merchants are turned, &c. France is no longer the France of the last century. Whatachange! Indeed, what a change! No doubt the French nation has always been celebrated for its versatility; but now this defi- ciency in the character of men has grown to sach an extent that it has even had influence upon the weather. The monomania of the moving tables and spiritual rappings is still a Vordre du jour, and the amateurs of that “sport” are daily increasing in number. How long will this last? That is the question. These “fancies” will not havea long duration in Fraace and in Paris. It will be remembered that during the Restoration there was a phenomena which was experienced during three months. All the pretty women of Paris, when they were out at night, used to be stung, as if by a long | needle, and none of them were able to detect the pigveurs in the crowd. All the women of Paris were desirous to receive a sting, and they ventured into the street without fear. After this monomania the woman with the skull head made her apparition. It was said that she had an income of 3,000,060 franes a year, and that she wanted to find a husband. After this fantastical apparition, which occupied the minds of all the beaux of Paris, we had the “rein of the two cent pieces,” which used to full in the Rue Montesquiur every eveninz, from nine till ten o'clock. The street was nightly crowded from its commencement to its end, and the “ coppers” were picked ap by the crowd, and kept with the utmost care as “ good luck pieces.” But the police invaded the place, and in a short time the ‘“ clardestine mint’’ was shut up, and was never more opened to the public. The acapuncture mania came next. It was fashionable to have a number of needles intreduced in the calves, and to be stung as a fricandecu. After this we had the exhibition of the ‘“ stones,” thrown every evening from the top of a house situated on the place of the Pantheon. This fashionable ‘ pelting’ was the rendezvous of all the elegant people of Paris, and everybody seemed delighted when he had received a shower on the head. Then came the discovery of the sympathetic shell snails, which lasted about six months (quite long, indeed, for Frenchmen). Every one had a box of shell snails, which was operating, like the Morse telegraph, from one eud of Paris to the other. We have now the turning tables and rappings, and those who are even now still in doubt, are say- ing, as Galileo—* However, it moves aronnd.” Fortunately the French nation has the reputation of being the wittiest people in the world; and never- less they are always moving—arownd a vicious eC. Whilst these hnmbugs are all the go in Paris, the | prices of material life are increasing, and the meat | und bread, the indispensable part of the food of man, | has been raised by the butchers and ba meantime, the rent of the houses is y such an extent that those who have but income, do not know what to do 7a cheap enough to suit the How long will such a thing last’ moderate order to flad ight of their No one fashionable fete which I will mention in ) correspor is that given on Tuesday fat the British by Lord and Lady C Jey, in honor of the anniversary of Qieen Victoria's The magnificent par- Hami- rlen lora of the Englieh hotel bad br nated and decorated for the occasion, and the of thia elegant 5 » had been adorned with colored glasses, which gave to this ball the appearance of a Site Vinstienn i acesses of the and Pri ted, an not to forget a selec- EE Ra he cnecal Mn Sandford, now acting as Charge of the = in Paris, interim.

Mr. Lannoy, a geutleman connected with the news- per La Patrie, on Friday last accompanied Mr, Deschamp in his balloon, the ‘ Napolean,” which started from the gas factory two and a half hours after at the village of Guster near Toigny, having thus made a circuit of 220 kilometr above the level of the earth. The rapidity of its ascension and peregrination through the air was cal- culated at 128 kilometres an hour. Mr. Lannoy made several experiments of the most extraordinary Hina, which he will soon report to the Academy of nces. fally progressive and beneficial. It was first oreated with a fund of 235,000 francs, and made operations for 1,517,000 francs. The benefit for the fast year has been 83,317 francs. ° ‘The Emperor has ordered, at Chilouse Sou Sorane, the building of a vaste for his own use, which will be, as is reported, the ne plus ultra of shi ‘The best painters of Paris have been ordered to re- present on canvass the finest views of Spain, to be placed in the saloon of the yacht, which will be called “Eugenie.” It will be achieved within three weeks. Two young hears of the menagery of Paris have been sent to the city of Berne, to be placed in the ditcher of that Swiss place, of which they are the living coat of arms. All the animals of the same kind which used to be kept there had died during the last month.

At the Ambigue-Comique, a fancy play, in four acts and twenty scenes, called “Le Ciel et I’Enfer,” was performed on Monday last, and proved very suc- cessful. The plot is not very interesting, but the costumes and scenery are magnificent. At the theatre of “La Gaité,” a drama, in five acts, called ‘Les CEuvres du Démon,” was also per- formed with much success.

Narrow Escape of an American Packet Ship. [From the European Times, May 21 The American ship Connecticut, McWilliams, commander, which left Liverpool on the 21st of last month, (April.) for New York, with about six huo- dred emigrants on board, has Juxt succeeded in reach- ing Falmouth, after a most narrow escape of being overcome by @ succession of frightful gales to the westward of Cape Clear. Some five or six days after she had left the Mersey, with every prospect of a rapid voyage across the Atlantic, the wind veered round to weet-north-west, and in twelve hours it blow terrifically frem that quarter.

The Eastern Question—the Turks and tho Greeks. [Athens Correspondence of London Chronicle, Mey 19 At present, while the fate of the Ottoman empire is the great question, it may not be uninteresting to cast a glance upon the respective strength of the populations which inhabit that part of Europe. An exact statistical account of this empire is an_impos- sible undertaking; the Turkish government docs not possess one, ond among their institutions there is nothing which tends to the centralization of infor- mation; and we must also take it into consideration that all the notions which the Turks farnish on this The emigrants seem to have subject, and which have served as a basis to the sta- | di- | tistics dal by various travellers, eee minish the number and importance of the Christians. The following information, which we have collected from among the best informed inhabitants of each district, may be considered as tolerably exact:— ‘The number of furks a¢ Constantinople is + 499,000 Turks in European Tuckey and the isiaad + 2,600,000 ople 150,000 4,650,000 | 1,290,000 1 200,009 We o4 Visks (of Pind 600,000 Albavians (Christians) 600,000 Armerians (Chtleians) at 250,000 There are aiso at Constantinople about 10,000 other Christians of all nations, and 20,090 Isrs tos, who, from hatred to the Christians, always side with the Turks against them. Among the 2,600,000 Tarks of the provinces, £00,000 in Bosnia are renegade Slavonians, and almost all the Turks of Epirus are renegade Albani- ane. The Bulgarians are not Slav ans, but of quite a different race, and the Slavonian dialect they speak is a borrowed strength of attra their intere: ne.

Besides this, it is an incontestable fact that the’ Christian Atbanians and the Viaks of Pindus are only distinguished from the Greeks by their dialect, fog else they identify coms em; and it is by no means agreeable | and we may here observe that among the Greeks of | Suropean Turkey we could not avoid counting eT reeks of the coast of Ada Minor, which is, the other side of this great basin, essentially Greek. | Latterly, strong attempt has been to in- | spire the three other populations—the Wallachians, Bulgarians, and Slavonians of Servia—with senti- ments of individual nationality ; but, excepting the Wallachians—one portion of whom follow the Russi | policy, while ancther party,.out of hatred to thal olicy, prefer throwing themselves into the arms ofy, , the ‘turke—the Bulgarians, and even the Slavonians, feel themselves much more drawn towards the Greeka | of Byzantium whom they long acknowl ag | their masters, and together wit! born the oppressor’s yoke aud sighed for liberty | than towards the Russians, to whom nothing attract | them, were it not for the skilful policy of Russia, , Who overwhelms them with benefits era le But in order accurately to appreciate the strengtlr of the Greeks, in comparison with that of the other populations of European Turkey, one must also re | collect that they inhabit the coasts and archipelagow | of the most beautiful of seas; that free Greece pos- | sesses 30,000 sailors, and the whole Greek race cam offer more than 140,000 excellent seamen, which is % | very considerable force, and, finally, that the Greeks. are at the head of the civiligation of the East, ané | are the race decidedly the most active, the most en- | terprising, and the most susceptible of developes ment. Wesee bythis that it is not, as some publicists have suid, that Turkey, onee eliminated, leaves , nothing behind her but chaos and void, or as others, who, wishing to prove that if the Turks are not sus- ceptible of a regular government, the Greeks, their | heirs presumptive, are still less so, point to the | kingdom of Greece. They follow the prejudices | which have been purposely spread abeaee! by inter- In- | ested or misinformed persons. It is true that | Greece poseesses neither railways nor electric telo- graphs; it is also true that her government is noé exemplary; but whose is the fault? It was foreign 4 intrigues that pushed her toa violent revolution, | from which she has not yet been able to rise, an which has chased from her ministry and front her administration all the men of capacity, and of robity which she possesses. And yet, in spite of Dicas disadvantages, an impartial observer cannot see without astonishment what Greece has becoma in less than twenty years. From 800,000 inhabitants, her population is now 1,200,000. Towns are risin; | on all sides, the plains and valleysare now in ful cultivation. Instruction has covered the whole eount with elementary and superior schools ; her universi- ty spreads the higher branches of study to the rey extremities of the Hast; and her commerce, it well known, is growing every day more considera- ble. Let us ask if marting from the same point, ' any other country in Europe could arrive farther than feeble Greece has done in so short a time. But there is anotl fear expressed by certai writers on the East, which seems equally vain. It is not the Slavonian, but the Greek race which pre- dominates in European Yurkey, and the Greeks are not devoted to Russia unless they are forced into her aris, When France claims the Holy Sepulchre, and Russia, by condition or polisy, assures it to Greeks, she certainly wins their affections, Wher Russia endows their church, protects them against the oppression of the Turks, and is always purposely represented among them by men of the most amiable character and conciliating manners, generally belonging to their own nation, she must naturally gain upon those who dream of the spiritual conquest of the country by | missionaries or a propagauda—who, like Mr. Worms, in his work, profess that, in the interest of the equilibrium of Europe, it is necessary to permit the Turks to oppress the Christians for fear the latter should become more powerful than their masters, or on those who contide their diplomatic relations to men excellent in themvelves perhaps, but incapablé, through the circumstances in which they have un- fortunately found themselves, of being individually on a cordial footing with the Greeks and their go- | vernment, And such is, it must be frankly avowed, | the position of the present Minister of Great Britaiy in Greece. The despairing doctrine that, after the | inevitable fall of Turkey, there is nothing to be ex- | pected but a social dissclution, or a Russian domina- tion, is certainly quite There is a third solu- ion perfectly natural, ich would b2_ advantae | geous to everybody, but particularly to those who | trive in time to make it so | One of the most distinguished political writers of Europe (M. St. Mare Girerdin) said lately that there | is nothing now but commercial peey in the world. It | iz, above all, if Turkey and Asia Minor become a Chria- tian and civilized State, that general commerce will gain immensely. It is true that the European States | pay only three per cent on the entrance of their mer-’ | chandise into Turkey, as in all barbarous countries, | But, then, what is their active commerce with that | country? In order to understand how it would in- crease a hundredfold were that country to change its condition, one has only to examine what was the | commerce of England with the Morea, Livadis, and | the Archipelago under the Turks, when only three | per cent was paid, and what it is now with the poor | Kingdom of Greece since the introduction of the | usual rights. On the affair of the 12 ie ae though now terminated, Russia demands a treaty in order to shut the door against all future claims. M. de la Cour, declaring that he has no instructions on this point, has referred to his government. The Child Vagrants of London, {From the London Dispatch. May 15.) While reading with much satisfaction of the exa- | mination of nearly a thousand young children, of both sexes, which took place on Monday last at the Borough r schools, the {aetna returus just given with regard to the vagrant children of the metropelis check our hopes and damp our exul- tation. In the streets, as prefessed mendicants and | thieves, who could give no account of themsely the police picked up fourteen. Ninety-four coul not give the lightest, trace ef their parents, while two hundred and thirty-one are stated to have ood condition of life; so that this elec. jither from a perverse disposition on the part of the children, or from ® neglect on the part of the parents, or from both combined. It w: stated that the parents of five hundred an eighty geuld at least maintain them; but this acntence seems to have a qualification, as in the fee case it was evident they did not, and, per- naps, we should modify the assertion by udmitting that the: rtially provide for them. The next ex i plan, the evils of which | hove peatedly stated in the papers, », that the parents of 411 sent their offspring he streets to beg, and as this is a gs: of ecercion, compelling children to bring home some thing, semehow ter pain of blows or depriv tion of focd, it is clear that this batch must cont bute an annual quota to the class of professional thieves, which exhivits the deplorable and pitiless train of circumstances under which they are destined a life of vagrancy and crime, terminating one knows not how, and dreads to question. Here we tave a total—a fraction of the whole, however—of one thousand three hundred and sixteen, all of whom were found in the streets, outcast and alien, one half Lelplesely so, and the other moiety tnder pretty much the same condition at the very test. We now come to the second division, those , ‘ound in the low lodging-houses, professiona!!y mendi- cants and thieves, levying contributions on the pnb- lic, through misplaced sympathy, or by the badder chances of robbery. In these dens the police disco- vered forty that had no parents. One handred and five had parents w ould maintain them, and o this score nothing is added. One thousand one hi dred and eighty parents could help to contribute to ie support of their children; but as itis not stated in what proportion, nor where the balance is to come from, we are left to eves at the one, and to inferthe | latter, certainly without much fear of error. Four | hundred and ninety-three were sent out by their parents to beg, or steal‘ convey,” the wise call it ir having been found in the 4 proof of their want of adequate success, vs also of the system of “ home’ terrorism, which holds them in subjection, the dread of t they receive, as a rule, should they retwm to their brutalized meee without the requisite amount. We hay in this ji ivision, a total of one thousand seyen hundred | the merciless treatm and cighty-two, making In all three thovsand and ninety-e! juvenile mendicants and thieves, wha | are, by the force of their position, condemned to live by plonder or in pri for the rest of their carecr, besides adding to their numbers in a certain ratio a second generation which must continually descend ia the seal ally speaking, be more helpless, | degraded and dangervus with each advancing age, | These numbers, however, do not give us anything like a correct idea of the vast amount who do not come under the notice of the police—thove families of children which are seen with men and women’ | about the streets daily, nor the iv it are | hired out, or cartied to arouse charity by their own parents. As it is a part of the proficient in the art of men cy to avoid coming under the cognizance of the police ot oll, it is fair to assume that by far the gre majority manace matters so well as to sueceed in their object.
