Our London C Lonpox, July 6, 1858. ‘The Efforts (| Suppress Prostitution—Their Ineficacy as | Yet—Ie Filthiness of the Thames River—The Late Out- rages Repudiated by the English People—Movements of the Queen—AMusical and Dramatic lems, dc. Ia this modern Babylon there is always one leading topic which engrosses public attention for the time. Las, year it was the “:ocial evil’? which drew from the press columns of comment on the causes, increase aud effects ef pubiic prostitution. Meetings were held, suggestions wore made, and ordinances passed to care, or at least modity the evil; and I expected on my return to flod some good effecis from such varied effurta to sup- press « nuisance and hide frem the public gaze scones of dissipation unparalleled in any other city in the world. But, alas! I fied the Haymarket is still, from eve till morn, & pub.ic market for the supply of victims to man’s lust, and the traffic as open, bold, and far more dis- gusting than the sale of cattle in the shambles. Yos, ia the very heart of London this cancer still existe; and the fair and pure and beautiful of Eogland’s mothers and Gaughters, passing t> ber Majesty's theatre, must gaze upon @ scene sufficient!y disgusting to sheck the senses of any man not entirely lost to decency. In Paris such an. e@xbi dition could not exist, ncr would it be tolerated inany other city in the world. Will some philosopher expisia why 1) is tolerated here? ‘The all-engrossing topic of the present moment is al river Thames; which, being usei as the common sewer for this ated city, vi emits odors unlike those of ‘‘araby the blest.” You cannct cross a bridge without icbalg or take a ‘00 the river without di ot ) diarrbo from by sudden smells.

Our Parts Panss, July 16, 1868. The Inauguration of the Cherlouns Arsemal—Iis Absorb- ‘ing Importance and Political Interest—The New Peace ‘System of the Anglo-French Alli snc:—EJec! of the News the Conference, with its troublesome bone; the Danubian Principaiities; the promising barvest and hopeful vintage; the Emperor's restored health; Prince Nepoleon’s speech at Limoges, and a hundred other matters, all more or less interesting, are completely shelved to mike way for the absorbing intorest felt in the op: ning of the great naval arsenal at Cherboorg in the prisence of the Queen ce Engiand. All France feels itself, as it were, summonsd toa new Field of the Cloth of Gold, compared with which, however, the eppreaching rendezvous is as the mountain tothe moure. Cherbourg is indeed “the result of the long con tinued rivalry of the two nations,” and it is characteristic of the man who, six years ogo, uttered the famous words, “The Empire is peace—peace, sinve France wishes it; and when France ig contented, the world is tranqul;”’ that his should be the band to pu’ ihe finiahing stroke to what bad proved too much for three successive sovereigos of the Bourbons, for Louis Philippe, and even his mighty Uncle. Vauban it was who devised it in the reign of Louis XIV., but the gigantic work dragged heavily on through three successive reigas, till Napoleon I. took it up and ipfured new life into the project; and it is now the “‘beir of my uncle,’’ the man of peace, par excellence, who completes it. About itscharactar there can be vo mistake. It is @ pistol at half cock alwaye at the br. of England. The harbor is 400 motres in lengtn, 200 in Width—the height of the quay beleg eighteen, aud the depth of water nine. It has been hollowed out, no! merely of the rock, but of the granivw itself, by a mining system not tried heretofore, or, at least, of which the prodigioas results had not been as yet tested. Never had the reso lute will to conquer nature attempted so much or suc ceeded so well, ‘The subject is alike intereeting to every shade of poltti- cal aspiration, and the occasion one which, witn the coa summave tac! and exquisite good fortune which seems to attend him, the Emperor has happily ident'fied himself with at a period when France wis greatly in wat of some pecuiar stimulant. The proposed hospitality to the Queen of Eogland seems more to ve viewed in the light of a challenge than a bona fide invitation of gooi will, and the Queen’s prompt acceptance of it with a squadron of tix sail of the line, six frigates, and a flotilla of royal and admiralty steem yachuw, under the command of two of her most distinguished admirale—Lord Lyons acd Sir C. H, Foermantle—to bs looked at much in the same spirit. I do not find that sundry remarks contained ia certain semi-cfllic'al journals are borne out—that in this meeting of the sovereigns of two mighty peoples, ssotner pleage is given tor the peace 0/ the world. Toere can b> BO real good will when there is--we qiil not say foar— Dut mistrust; and it is as clear as the sun at nvonday, that France and Foglana caunst have any real tain in esch other, whi'e each daily is aiding to its menos of offence and defence.

Narvaez must bave had a strong suspicion of what was goirg to bappen when he left the court at Aranjuez for Paris; and toe French must be persuaded that it is enough for Espadon to be gone a week for all Spain to turnawry. The immediate cause of the change in the miniatey, it is agreed, bas been the manner in which the conduct of the country has been arraigned in the British Parliament, with regard to the slave trade; and the con- stant solicitsticn of Isturiz to be permitted’ to rotire, favored the ascendancy of O'Donnell, when 1; w.8 cou- sidered that an administration fall of energy and spirit had cecome necessary. The Conde Lucena had waited a ‘eng time patiently for the opportunity fully to arrive for the fruition of his ambitious hope; and at last it has dis- tinctly come. In the few days of his administration, the light of day and the power of electricity heve not sufficed to make known his measures so fast as he has taken them. Orders are rapidly paseed slong the wires into every part of the ktpgdom, and every morning the official gazette teoms with oecrees and appointments.

He compared the Usion to the Gordian knot, which, however, there was no Alexander in the world strong enough to sever; and although the assembly around him was composed of Americaps from every portion of the republic, whenever allusion was made to the union of their country the spon- taneous burst of cheering reminded him of the olden times st tho Fourth of July celebrations, It was only by coming abroad, he said, that Americans kaew how much they enjoyed in their own land. Each of them would return to his home loving it more “and more, and would regard every attempt made to array ore section of it against the other as treason against tho blood of their patriarch sires. His allusions to the viru leut attecke of the German prees upon her peo ple aud her institutions, were most happy. *‘We can stand heving some bard things said of us,’’ he observed; ‘(we bave eo much light, so much good, that the evil in- separable from humanity, and which therefore exiats ‘us too, though { sincerely believe in a minor de- tn other communities, becomes the more mani- feat, and this evil our foreign di to the world.” Then turning : “Hare,” he coptinued, “is the men, known and beloved the wide expanse of our country, who remem. bers erick the Great, the Washington of Prustia—if 80 honored # pame may be sanllad te 9 Ring ebe, mare then fifty years sgo, on our own native soil, sat under the counsels of those statesmen and patriots whose re. nown is coeval with our repubdiic; the link consectiog three generations and more, during which period we b grown from a humbie colonies to a mighty — from a emall people of three millions of souls, in- & barrow strip of on the shores of the At- babiting lnod lantis, to ® powerful republic of thirty millions, streiching Ocean to ocean, and from the ice-bound lakes of the junpy waters of the Cairboren Sea. and and enthusiasm, as our fathers did before us, to the senm- ment. We go not believe our vation ig all Norto or al! South, but we do believe the States and Territories of our Uvion are ore.” The Governor ciosed his remarcs with a spirited appeal to the love of home, of friends aud reia- tives—quoting the beautiful lines: There is @ power to make each hour As sweet a3 Heaven designed it, Nor peed we roam to bring it home, Though few there be that flad it! ‘We seek too high for things close by, And lose what nature found us; For life bas here no claim 80 dear As home, and friends around us. Among tbe other , Cloqueat or humorous, that were delivered on occation,! wili only mention an ad- dress by Mr. Faward 8. Jaques, a very talented young gen- Heme from Virginia, who has 1B prosecuting his su ties at Berlin for the last two years, tad took the opportunity of saying afew words of farewell to his friends and country: men on ols returo toAmerica. “I have,” he said, “al- ready replied to the toast to Virginia; bat pow, as D- portunity is given me,I will take occasion to say @ wor ‘or myself This oceseion is peculiarly int tome, ‘recause {t is the inst time Lshali be abie to meet my Ame- ricaa friends before leaving Berlin, where I have resided for the last two years, aud where have spent so meny bappy hours. 1 need not say that [ have seen much here to admire, much to learn, much to remember forerer with pleasure But this is not the point to which I would 1 wish to propose & sentiment—a sentineat which, though shared by every American here, it becomes me especially toutter; for, having sojournea here longer than any American presest, except the permanent residents, I can speak from a more protracted experience, and being on the point of leaving Berlin, { have nothing either to gain or lose by eayiog what I think.

At the special request of the amoaseator, ana to the agreeable surprise of all those who koew that the illustrious and venerable savant had not spoken in public for years. either at politital or solentiflc gatherings, the author of ““Coamos’’ rose from bis seat, and after aeking permission to express bimeel! in the French lnoguage, addressei a fow remarks to the assembly.

The mercantile shipping | owned in the former city exceeds by far tuat of the |at ter, It amounted at the beginoiag of tais year to 491 vessels, while Bremen could only muster 279.
