The Banquet (o Mr. Dallas at the London Mansion Howse Impression Oreated by his Speech—Sketch of Lord Stantd, ‘the Coming Man’? Amongst English Politicians —His Eloquent Denunciations of War with the Unite? States— ‘Probable Resignation of Lord Palmerston, «¢+ , One of those aplendid civic entertaismenta for which the Mansion House, the residence « the Lord Mayor of London, is famous, took place vosterday in honor of the Hos. George M. Dallas, the Uxited States Minister at this Court. The occasion was act the more interesting that it ‘was the first appearance in public of Mr. Dallas, and the greatest curiomty prevailed amongst the tvo hundred guests, al! of them of high Pariiamentary or civic distinc- tion, to see and hear the new American Minister, and the more so 9s at tai: crisis great anxiety is felt to know the real rentiments of the United States towards England. Nover was the debut of any public man in any new sphere of action more striking or successful than that of Mr. Dal" Jas Inat vight at the dianer of the Lord Mayor of Lon- don. From the moment he entered the brilliant recep- ‘tion rooma of the Mayoralty every eye was upon him, and it was curious to mark the growing effect of the im- Pression he produced. His erect figure, striking phy- sicgnomy, distinguished manners and easy deportment actually rade s sensation, and there was a general rush smongat the leading people present to be introduced to him, 1 may likewise add that in taste and elegance the Soilet of tne ladies of Mr. Dallas’ family, who accompanied him, abons conspicuoas)y amidst the glare of diamonds that decked the persons of the wives and daughters of the city magnates present. ‘The banquet was given in the famous Fgyptian Hall, the state dining room of the city palace, It iss noble @partment, of immense height, supported on either eide with lofty columns, richly gilded, and adorned with num berless mirrors and the finest pieces of statuary. The Dill of fare was worthy the gastronomic magnificence of London’s Lord Mayor, aud could not be surpassed for richness or variety. A skilful band and numerous chorus @iscoursed most eloquent music, vocal and instrumental, during the dinner, and crowned in delightful melody the ‘vulgar clatter of knives and piates. Tae chief guests of the fete nat at a cross table, at the top of the room, and were thus conspicuously in view of the whole company, ‘who were distributed amongst three tal running pa- Tallel the entire length of tne hall. The two persons the most remarked were Mr. Dallas and Lord Stanley, Seen at heif length behind the taole, end at a little distance, the Minister was pronounced an Qdmirable portrait of a great statesman. His lofcy brow, calmly repssing under @ canopy of snow white hair; his Gark, deep set eyes, aparkiing like jewelsin a cavern; his finely chiselled features, and the firmness and dignity that overapread all, ceetataly Bd token that the United Btates could, when required, get up ot 8 diplomatiat and a gentleman as any court in Europe proouce. Lord Stanley, the eldest son of the Earl ot Derby, a scion of one of tne best and oldess families of England, is looked upon generally as the comiog man, “looming in the distance.” He is some 34 years of age, ant Bo daguerreoty ce could resemble him closer than Colonel Fuller, of the Mfirror. His intellect, eharacter and posi- ticn qualify him to play a grand part in the political fa- ture ot England, and be has trained himself carefully for the task. A word for the Lord Mayor, who presided with much grace. He ts of the Jewish persuasion, and the first wno ever heid office in England, to which his abilities and ebsracter hove raised bim. He was elected a mem. Der of Parliament a few years sgo; but refasing to tat: the usual oath, ‘‘on the trae faitn of a Christian,” he was @biiges to resign. He rose after the cloth was removed, and, after the usual toasta to the Royal Family, he pro- posed the health of the American Minister in a neat speech, which seamed the frank expression of his mind. leoked upon the differences, he said, between England and tre We oie Cea gad Belly sins tiie no thing to do with diplomatic questions; but speaking, as he au, on behalf oe the great commercial metropotis of Wogland, be declared that all thet her citizens wished or oped was everlasting amity with the United States. This wentiment was hailed with enthusiasm by the intelligence and wealth of London present. Wnen the Lord Mayor wat down the band played ‘Heil Columbia”? and “Yan kee Doogie,” and it was certainly an extraordinary in- cident of the evening that the whole company beat time Joudly with thefr bands or knives on the plates, as though suddenly transformed by magic into so many uproarious, genuine Yankees. When Mr. Dallas rose he could not speak for a few mo- ments, such waa the cheering and hurrahing. He was ty calm, natural and dignified. The silence was then intease. Tue fine intonations of his voice, his ele- diction, smooth, full periods and graceful gesticula- ym soon ehowed that an accomplished orator was ad dressirgthem. The comp: was rapt in attention; not 8 woro—s look—escaped them. Mr. Dallas displayed the tect of an adroit politician when he declined, as inappro- riate, to touch upon the diplomatic difficultis existing ween the two countries; but with thst frankness and fulness of character which has always characterized fim he did not hesitste to ceclare, that as far as depead- ed on bim no exertions should be wanting to restore and walatain eternal harmony between two nations #0 nt on each other as England and the United Bta,es. This was received with deafening cheers. His 9 hy was admirable, even to its bein pened enough to be satisfactory, but lesving a relish for more. ‘It was generally declared that no American Mioister had ever made s more effective apesch io London, and that in matter and manner it left nothing to be desired or to be wurpassed. Tord Stanley's epesch was the next prominent event Of the evening. He spoke with the greatest facility, and real eloquence. His mind displayed the hignest disci- fine, aor did be neglect the smallest graces of witch- oratory. His lapgusge was chaste and his pte wentences rofled out with a majestic swell that prove the depth and breadth of his inspiration. Io the name of the Parliament of England and of her peop e, he re- pudiatod ali war with the United States, and seid he ‘would fook upon an Eoglishman who aimed at such fratricids aa an enemy to his country. He declared that the alliance of England and the United States was the hope of mankiod. Such sentiments as these, in the mouth of a descendant of one of the noblest houses of Engiand, may well denote what is now looked upon as the true policy of England towards the United Atates. thet invincible sptagonism— onsidered 1 impossible to overcome be- fo irreconcilable as the democracy of America and the aristocracy of Kng'snd, seem, at last, under the pressure of interest and the control of intelli- genee, inclined to mest intolerance; may, more, to weigh pleasantly together. We are truly living in an age when the schoomaster ts hard at work dispensizg lessons of com- mon sense. I add tbia rt comment to my report of the Lord Mayor’s dinner an its logical corollary. 1 have thought it abencdantly worth whue to enter into these is of the compliment paid by the first muaisipaiity im the world to the American Miaiater; for it ia important ‘at this tim mes, that the true sentiments of two such oations a¢ Engiand aud our own country should bo known accurately to each other, and an occasion like the one { have fsebly recorded, alfords an opportunity Sor mutual explanation, that I rejoice has been 80 ably aad cloquentiy responded to on both sides. There ia little news to send you. Lord Palmerston is twi ig into bad odor with the House of Commons, which ‘ise given @ majority against him, tantamount, ac- eording to usage, to a rejection of his government.

It will be swallowed hard by England, who deepiy r-grets bat spent all the money without having another crack at “Kooshians,’”” an they are atyled hore by the plébs. There are no symp toms yet of that wild speculation that was apprekended would follow the peace. People seem to be getting wiser. I may add by way of postacript, that Mr. George F body, the benker, and M:. Henry Wikol, of New Yor! ‘were present at the [ord Msyor’a dinner, and were aon! ed in the neighborhood of the American Mii .

We happen to know of one !ady, who, driven te her wit’s end to get at the ear of this Eastern Official, adopt. ed the following moce. She wrote a letter addreassd to him, stating that she wished for an interview of five minutes only, to lay before him a plot which she had ac- cidentally discovered for the assassination of the Sultan, formed by = body of Ruasians, and to be carried into action ag goon as the treaty of peace was finally ratified. She stated she waa not at liberty togive him the parti- culara on paper, but on being permitted to speak with hia Excellency she would @ tale unfold of such deep- dyed villany, and give such evidence in suppert of it, that the matter could not fail to invite his serivus at- tention. The Ambastador returned the le¢y ® note, Politely appointing the desired interview. On her ontry his Excellency waa astonished to see « young lady, acarce- ly above 20 years of age, and +« & beauty so dezzling, of manners 40 exquisitely obarming thet all the stifaess of official etiquette, assu=ted in honor of the promised {mportant revelation vanished at once, Gallaatly giving the lady bis«tm, be led her tos couch, standing respectfully be(r<® ber till ehe shonld enter upon the sub- jeot of her r#it. After a few preliminary ebservations, during ~fish a thourand little diplomatic usages proper to her a(x were not omitted: ‘Yea, your Excelleacy,”’ pie said, “I will tell you the plot. In Paris we know at present no other Sultan than yourself. You are not only his representative, but you are one and indivisible with him. It is you who fnvite all that is obivalrous and gale lant to your house—it is you who om Thursday next will open your doors to our Emperor—it is you who have summoned all the beauty of Paris to be present; it is only —unhappy I—who am not thought worthy to he your guest. Ihave ne beauty,” she continued, smiling with the most beautiful eyes that Tark ever gazed on; ‘1 knew it; but no one refuses to invite me but you; and therefore am I come, solemnly to declare that unless you repent and give me a card for Thursday, I will go round to ail the confectioners you have employed for your mag- nificent féte, will disguise myself as a kitchen matd, and will eaturate your ices, your jellies, your conpluses, your mayonatses, with some subtle poison that shall turn your household into mourning, and cause your head to be chepped off for making such an enemy as myself, expross- ly to mar an occasion so auspicious.” ‘This is the burden of the lsoy’s song; but to pretend to tel! you how ashe sang it, how she gave witchery to such a shadowy subterfuge by the sweetest voice, ‘the moat playful coquetry, the pre Liest set of teeth, the most beau- tifully formed mouth. and most love-like eyes in the world, is out of the question, ‘Now, won’t you ask me?’ she said, locking, malicious, into the ambassador's face. “Madam, I have already given five hundred more invita- tions than my house can accommedate; but rather than refuse one who threatens, with such grace, to do other than obey woul be more than treason; I will cover over my garden, and make an additional salon.”’ There was then great kfsaing of hands, and the ambassador Was soon seen handing down to her handsome equipage is beautiful visiter, who, with a card of invitation in her hand, drove rapidly off to the Comtess de ——, and told her story. It soon got wind, and Paris talked of no- thing else till the evemtful evening. The lady was, in fact, the newly married wife of Comte de Sauteville, whose name had been omitted, for political reasons, from the imperial list sent in to the ambassador as containing the names of those the Emperor would vouchsafe to meet, The ambassador told the story to Napoleon, who laughed heartily at the joke, and assured him, had he been in his (the ambassador's) place, he should have done precisely the same. Ard 80 the gardens were all covered over, thus @: bling the ambassador to considerably enlarge the num. ber of his invited. On entering the calon, at 10 o'clock, the fairy scene which presented itself was absolute enchantment. Every- where Orientalism met the eye—pagodas, Turkish lan- terns, shawl patterns, carpets; Ismps of many colors, and vivid in Eastern devices; servants in turbans, boys Erebus, clothed in Kastern fashion, handing re- ents—the very orchestra seated ina temple with minarets, looking like Eastern sages, with flowing robes end ample turbans. The air was redolent of Eastern per- fume, From a divan issued fragrant clouds of odoriferous amcke, puffed from pipes whose jewelled heads and amber mouthpieess rendered them fit playthings only tor the bands of kings. & Suddenly every eye was turned to the entrance. The Emperor, LORS by the Prinoers Mathilde, Queen Christina and P3 Napoleon, bad arrived. In an in- stant the whole embassy was ou foot. The amoassador himself bore the golden illuminated branches in his hand, stepping backwards before the face of the Emperor, with an empressement only to be acquired in the Kast. ‘The passage through whish the imperial party had to pass, was some 25 feet broad. It was covered wi:h Persian ruge of the most beautifal designs. Turkish ms glittered on the walla, rich with crimson lights, lowers, chaplets and Eastern transparencies. White robed men at-armsdottea the course on either side, and as the strains of Strauss’ fine band poured forth ‘‘Partant pour la Syrie,” while the Emperor, the Queen of Spain, and his cousins followed the retreating steps of his Turk- irh host and staff, it was impossible to imagine a more novel or ao exhibition. In the ball room his Mojeaty was accommodated with an ottoman on which the Sultan’s arms were richly em- bossed, and refreshments were at once carried to tne whoie party, the ambassador receiving them from the #ervants and cflering them himself to his guests. Despite the increased accommodations furnished by the enclosure of the gardens, the throng of guests was enor- mous, and the crowd at timer unbearable. Carriages were obliged to wait ree oor four nours before they could find a space whereon to deliver their occupants, by which time the Emperor bad taken his leave. The ataence of two persons was especially remarked—that {s, Count Orloff and Baron de Brunow. Ihappen to know that this matter hed en- tailed some serions discussion. At first it was determined by both these plenipotentiaries that it was their duty to be present, inasmuch as Napoleon especially desired it, ard the Turkish Ambassador till Tuesday evening, tuly relied on their presence. While at the Tuileries, on Tuesday worning, however, Baton Brunow took occa- #100 to mention the matter to the Emperor, a4 being so distasteful to his court that he hoped his Majesty would not lay hia commands upon himself and colleague. “We think, also, sir,” said be, “that however heppily the question is now settled between us and Turkey, some- thing is due to the memory of our late imperial master, whore views were so entirely disconsonant with the pre- sent state of affairs.” Napoleon, who, with a'l his obsti- nacy. is far too wise a man to exercise {t on trivial ooca- sions, acceded to the Baron’s views at once, teiling him at the same time that he would take upon himself hi excuses vith the Turkish Ambsasador. All the other ple- nipotentiaries were present. ¢ ball was kept up till four o'clock. The Emperor left a little before tweive o'clock, The same Kastern che- racter pervaded the supper aa ‘the decorations, Foun- tains of sherbert played in the middle of the table. Sweet- meats there were from Constantinople such as no one bad ever seen or tasted in Paris; jewelled cups of gold full of exquisite mocha; spiced compounds, unknown to Pari- sian cursine, wooed the palate, and mightily assisted the consumption of deep draughts of champagne. The belle of the evening. as wellas the most interesting personage, was decidedly the beautifal Countess whose daring exploit had succeeded in aurmounting the chevauz de frice of imperial and Eastern exclusion, and it was observed that the Ambarsacor, whenever his other duties permitted him, afd pot fail to pay her marked attention. ‘Thus ended the greatfite of the season- ing, quite as much from the political cir: tached to it as from the splendor and costly out’ay which accompanied it, It was the triumph of the sick man, who in health and strength was thus seen banqueting with bia friends, retainers and allies, while his powerful enemy, who at one time was reacy to ring the welkin at is death, and divide his subs:ance among his followers, now rateuikily by, eating, or rather chewing, the cud of bitterness.

Moving Day in Paris—Street Architecture—Rents—French Habits of Life—The Approaching Baptism of the Imperial Prince—Festivities in Preparation for the Occasion— Affairs of Italy—Enormous Railroad Tunnel, de., dc. Yesterday was a most important epoch in the urban economy of Paris, CYétait le jour de démanagement. Ts those who have not yet visited this attractive city, or rather those who have never made it their permaaen$ sojourn—for the two eiroumstances are widely different— it is probable that some account and description of thia démanagement may not,be uninterestiog, embracing, as it must necessarily, the general routine of Parisian do- mestic life. Much of the architectural beauty of the city is indebted to the general bait of living in reparate écages, or tista, in Paris, because, instead of an infintsteasimal number of tenements expressly erested for the convenience of mo dest incomes, disfiguring the architectural outline, and extending the streets and suburbs to such a length, as in London, that the town becomes less a capital than & vast province, all is condensation and uniformity. Poverty, however unseemly its garb withia doors, presents in Paris no external indication of its rags. Fronte wulla fides, must be the traveller’s motto, for yon proud structure, lifting its head to the shies with half s cozen sets of fists ‘one upon the other, is as likely to be the abode of the humblest as the highest, The wealthy man may rent a suite of rooms in it, comprising ante-chamber, salle @ manger, salon, four or five best bedrooms, with two or three servants’ chambers above, with a kitchen on the same level as his dining room, and two eellara for wiae and fuel; or the simpie workman may there hire a single room for himself and bis wife. There is a growicg ten- dency in the present day to modify this state of things, but axa general rule it still prevails. ‘The consequence is, that with mere than a million of inhaditants, all points of Paris are attainable within an hour’s walk, Wealth and grandeur mee} ths eye at every turn, and a stranger might imagine that he was literally visiting the city of princes, Very different indeed is the reality. Pass those palatial portals, ascend that long and wearisome flight of stairs, thread those iater- minable corridors, where the doors are numerically docketed, enter one of thom, and the filth and squalor that will meet the eye will convince you that Varis, with all ita blooming exterior, all the beauty of its domestic tront, is no exception to the general characteristic of cities, which embrace within their walls the antipodes of dominant opulence and garish destitution. But this ayaiem of collecting all varieties of the popu- fiticn under one magnificent tenement gives immense importy:ce to the day of démanagement. The usual course of letting is from the 15th of April, though the rame occurs in July, October and January, but the first mentioned date ia the more general ome. The term of bire may vary. For larg artments, a lease of three, six, or nine years, renewable every three years, at the option of the tenant, is usual, though sometimes arrange- ments may be made on the same principle for one, two, or three years. All are accounted small a) the eye of the law, when the rent does not exceed 400 fraces, and these are taken by the term, or three months, the terant baving the right, by giving six weeks’ notice, to quit in the middle of a term, which under no cireum- stances is admissible in large apartments. The rent o these last varies from 15,000 to 1,000 trancs, As, how: over, the move is more general in April, all parties, high and low, contrive, if possible, to keep their locations till that month, tn order to have a greater choice when hir. ing afresb. Thus s general bovlewrsemen! takes place about this tire.

I | am thenkful, nevertheless, for what the Church of Rome has done during the middie ages, though some of its abuees have furnished splendid themes for satire to the bent Itahan poets—Dante, Boccaoolo and Petrarch. 1am aware that Rome has done mush good out of Reme—tbat it hax mitigated the slavery of the feuda —that by placing itself above the arbitrary kings and princes of the middle ages, it has restrained their parsions and pleaded the cause of the people, when ther+ ty Popowencesanth WuRanh theirs oad when trary will of their despotic rulers. Iadwit all that, and & great deal more, Iam aware that the Church of Rome was the custodian of the learning and writings of earnic antiquity; that it bad» most powerful and benign in- fluence on the revival of the arts; that it was the great souros of civilization ia those times; in short, that it had @ great mission to fulfil~s mission greater than the shurch itaetf even dreamed of, and that for all this it is entitled to the sincere gratitude of every Christian, of whatever religious or political persuasion. But then, a vart deal of what was in former ages the pecu'iar office of the chureh to prevent and to accomplish, has now ba- come the organic law of many States under materia! guarantees such asthe church could never afford, and ube spirit of the age, aud the peculiar form that modern civilization has assumed have outgrown the spiritual care not only of Rome but of all churches, ao far es selt-determination aud tidividuali y have emaaci- pated themselves from the restrainta of positive au- thority, Modern Rome, therefore, exercises no real power.

I is no | a growing and prescribing, bat a yividing aod politically subdued church, cherishing at times ancient recollecuious ard the great rem-mbranse of swhority, but belog im reslity reduced to the more epiritual acc sxory to worldly power. From bets the ruler of kivgs, tbe church has become the spiritual adviser of thei mejeaties, or the minister of consoiation to those of its chiliren who may bear sorrow ani morti- fication for her sake. Modera Rome, therefore, is as much {n ruins as ancient Rome, Luther and Calvin, iv the 16th centusy, destroyes, its autaority wherever their doctrmes prevailed. but the eighteeath and uineteeoth oeiiutan bas produced s thousand Calvios, in every geoicgist, chemist and astronomer that has tortured ms.

The Church of Rome is so far reduced in power that it requires @ garrison of Freuch soldiera to protec: itself frum vulgar viclence at home; for you may set it down a‘ fixed fact,” that on the departure of the Freuch troops trem the Papal State, no worldly or spiritual power would be atrong enough to hold i:together.

But to aliow the Catholic bishops of the German, Hurgarian, and Polish provinces cf Austria to construe the concordat as they inay thovk fit. and to capitulate to the church in matters not strictly within its ecclesiastical province, was Lever for s single moment the purpose of Baron Zach, the autho: rs originator of the concordat. On the covtrary, the Austrian government o:gana have since explained the reason why the Emperor, in all Catholic church mi implicitly submitted to t Pope. He gave the head of the Catholic cbw what was his, so as to secure to himself and the sti the things whieh e pot of a strictly Catholic religious character. aay these orgens, ‘‘that the con- corcat is CoB: with the Holy !ather, and the Catho- lie chureb, as of right it ought to be, is placed under his conroj, the Fmperor may, with s good conscience, apply kimself to secure to the Calvinists in Hungary, Morsvia apd Transylvania, the free ond undisturbed ex ercise oF their worrhip, forthey are equally the Empe- ror’s su’ jects, ond bave # right to his protection. fhe concor’st refers exciusively to the government in church matters cf the Fmperor’s Uatholie eubjecta; the care tor all otbers is lett to the Ewperor.”’ And inorder that there may te no collision between the authorities of the Chureb cf Rome, fully reecgnized throughout the Em- peror’s dominions, and those of other churches there established since the time of the Reformation, tbe Em- ror bas called a mesting of ali the Catholic bishops of is vast empire, at Vienna, in order that s proper under- standirg may be bad between them and the civil officers of the government. The Holy Father here in Rome was uncer the impression that this meetis was called for purely ecclesiastical purposes; and as all the bishops of the Catholic chureh recognize bim as their spiritual bead, be vaturaliy thought that such a meeting ©; prelates would best answer the purpose for which they are convened, by his appointment of # President, in the sbape of his own nune'o at Vienna. Ths act of the Holy Father. however, excited quite a storm in Austria, and the Holy See bas at once been given to understand that the Emperor could not consent to such an appointment, as the bishops were not con- vened at V'enna for the purpore of regulating churoh waviers exousively, but aa the Emperor's faithful ser. van's, as good Austrian subjects, who ware to confer with their temporal master as to the beat manner in whioh the object of the concor¢at and the peace of the covp'ry could be dest secured by the mutual good under- standing ber the Ewperor’s temporal and spiritual servants, The meeting of the Austrian blahops, there- fore must be conridered a private one; and as auch a pri- vate meeting of the Emperor's friends and servanta, it waa haté)y proper to admit the Pope’s nuncio at all, much Jona (2 the eapacity of Presidents The languege of Aus- tria wae po decided, and the Pope’s dependency on Austria vor @ portion at least of his politieal existence ro LK gu rent, that the Papel government at once admitted ita mistuke, and the erroneous impresmon it had of the otject of the Episeopa!
