AFFAIRS IN EUROPE, d Bunun, Dec. 6, 1865. Dfectef the Death of the King of the Belgians Upon Bu- ef which is'no longer doubtful, has caused great agita ‘tion in the political world and something like # panic on “Ghange. Thongh the monarch of a small kingdom, ‘Reopoid haz played a prominent part iu European his- tery, and his demise is likely to be productive of more Smportant resuke than that of many a greater potentate. ‘Wie personal qualities commanded a respect which stood htm tm iieu'of natural strength, and seoured bis kingdom fem the aggressions of his powerful neighbors; Det his son does not enjoy these advantages, end is said to be as unpopular at home as he ts little esteemed abroad. The times are un- Mavorablo to the existence of weak States, and it is ‘Wy mo means improbable that the second King of the Belgians will also be the last. A mystery still hangs @verthe negotiations of Count Bismark with Louis Na- Peleou; but there is every reason: to, believe that they ‘weve not without relation to the approaching vacancy in fhe throne of Belgium, and that the Prussian statesman would be ready to purchase the consent of thé French Saaperor to the annexation of Schleswig-Holstein by al- Yewing Lim carte Wanche in the land of the Walloons. By the recent article in the Ounstitutionnel it would seem et those overtures did not meet with sa favorable a re- @eption as migtt have been anticipated; but the utter. neces of the semi-official prints are as often intended to ‘milelead the public as to enlighten it, and it would be premature to infor from the parade of disinterestedneas. whieh the French government delight in that thetr virtue has been proof against the saduc- fens of tho insidious Bismark. At any rate the Promier has returned from his journey in excellent eptrits, and has not the appearance of a man who has fBed in his most cherished projects. It deserves no- Wee, too, that his organ—the North German Gazette—has Milled ite columns for some time with doleful descriptions Of tho style of things in Belgium, which it represents emtromely factious and infected with revolutionary and soeialist tdeas, against which it is quite as necessary for ‘theneighboring Powers to interfere as against the “‘licen- fMeusness’’ of the press in the free city of Frankfort, It fwevident that the good for nothing Lamb is troubling ‘the waters again, and the virtuous and amiable Wolf will be obliged, sorely against bis will, to wring the bleating malefactor’s neck to teach him better manners. ‘®he qurinunca have discovered a political motive for the bethrothal of the Princess Helena of England with Princo Christian of Augustenburg, which has certainly Been concruded with a haste and secrecy tmusual in Sys eoengemanta, They scout the notion of its being alove match, seeing that the Prince ia fifteen years elder than his intended, and it is not likely she should {af in ovo with a man so much her senior. If they are to be trusted the real plan is as follows:—Prince Frede- sick of Augustenburg, or Frederick VILL, as he calls him- Fa. Will resign his ‘pretensions to the succession in ik-Holstein to his younger brother, who, as ttre Basband of an English princess, and supported by the ‘qavral influence and eventually by the material power of Great Britain, will force Prussia to relinquish her an- Hon schemes, and acknowledge him as the in- @ependent sovereign of the duchies. This would un- @eubtedly be a very promistng move, if the relative Positions of England and Prussia were the same as they ‘Were two years ago; but it requires no spirit from the Seep to tell us that Englapd would not go to war with Prussia for the sake of placing one of Queen Victoria’s @ughters on the throne of Schleswig Holstein, and that would not be deterred from annexing the duchies mere threats, which she knew woll enough would mever be enforced.

By imperial ukase the city of Tashkent, which was @apiured last summer by Goueral Chernayof, bas been Sermally incorporated with the Ruseian cwp're, and will Meenceforth be the capital of the new province of Turkis- tan, the area whereof is estimated at Ove hundred thou- and square versts, or about ten thousand geographical equare miles, When the capture of Tashkent was firet ennounced by the Invalid that journal was instructed to add that {ts occapation was only temporary, to prevent Mts falling into the hands of tho Ameer of Bokhara, and Wat vO soon a5 measures Were Laken to secure the city against such a contingency it wowld be evacu- ted by the Russian troops. You were informed at the time that this was ali bost—that our government had peo idea of abandoning so important a conquest, and it is GMoult to imagine whom the official journal expected to @eceive by such assurances. {If they were meant to allay the apprehensions of Engiand, which is seriously alarmed ab the steady progress of the Rusaian arms towards India, they wero, to say tho least, completely superfuous, for Sohn Bull is]too experienced @ hand and too well posted fm Asiatic affairs not to know that in those regions « Ruropean Power never recedes when it haz once advanced, umless It wforced to do s0-—a8 John was bimeel! in Aff. gbavistan, It should be remarked, however, that there fe a party in our government who disapprove of the policy of annoration which was initiated by Nicholas, and i¢ ‘Seing pursued with so much snccess under Alexander II., who are of op:nion that we have quite territory enough without adding to it new acquisitions which are separated ‘ead which, by their very distance, G@eancinl sacrifices, while the future advantages to be de- ‘Pived from them are at best problematical. But this perty is in the minority, and after having surmounted the almost insuperable obstacles that opposed our advance @eroee the Kara-Tegh (Binck Mountains) and the Goiad- tage Bleppe (Desert of Famine), it isnot in haman mature to stop short now we have just reached the oases of the Saxarien and the Oxus, which in former days were the eae Hyeriging mgnercnioe, mt mp mul NEW YORE HERALD, and only wan} 8 regular government and security from the incursions of their predatory neighbors to render their country once more the gardea of Asim A report that came round by way of England, porport- ing that the Chinese province of Khbotap had applied to the British government i India for protection against an impending attack of the Russians, is contradicted by the Journal de St. Pedersburg, which states, quite correctly, that Khotan is divided from Russia, in the first place by the provinces of Kasi and Yarkand, and, in I al by of ramifications 4 the Himalaya, and that such an attack pare mg impossible, It does not follow from this that there is no foundation whatever for the report; for, although Khotan is certainly in no immediate danger, its governors might wall feel alarmed at the approach of the Russian power, and think {t advisable to look for @ protection before the enemy were at their gates, Con- sidering, however, the neighboring provinces of Keshgar and Yarkand are in open insurrection against the Chinese government, and that Khotan also contains a large pro- rtion of Mahometam inhabitants, who undoubtedly ve more sympathy for the co-rellgionists than loyalty to the Celestials, it may be conjectured that if the Authorities of that province have really applied for help pet the a econ it is oan 80 lr inst the Russi: who are along way off, as the rebels who reat their doors. England well hardly interfere, as she to have resolved not to mix herself up any more with the politica of Central Asia, althongh she cannot look with a favorable eye upon the establishinent of independent Mahometan principalities in Kashgar, Yatkand and Khotan. In Europe England is the great shield of Mahometanism, and justifies the honorable title claimed for her during the Crimean war of boing the first Mahometan Power in the universe; but in Asia, especiaily since the Sepoy revolt, the extension and consolidation of Mdhometan rule is sngshing bat to her, as the safely her Indian empire Is: dependent upon ‘its . being inhabited and surrounded by nations as various in creed as in race. Jf, indeed, all the tribes from the Thian Shan to the Hit and from the Caspian to the Lob-Nor, were united in one great kingdom, they mizht form an “efectual barrier to the further pregress of Russia; but to effect this would require a new Genghis or ‘moor, and such characters are mo longer produced by the Tartar world, It is singularly fortunate for Russia tbat the war in the Caucasus is over, and that she is therefore at liberty to make it tNe basis of hor operations in other of Asin, One of our old Caucasians, Colonel Fadeyeff, has written a puspbles or series of letters in which he gives a sketch the whole struggle against the hardy mountaineers, from the first apparition of Russian bayonets on the heights of the Caucasus to the exodus of the Circassians, and shows the importance of its results on tho future history of the East. He says it way a capital mistake of the Allies during the Crimean war to waste their ener. gies before Sebastopol instead of landing their army on the eastern shore of the Black xea and endeavoring to expel the Russians from the Caucasus, which, with Schamyl still unsubdued, they would scarcely have failed to accomplish. Omer Pacha made a move in the right direction when he attempted to march to Kutais; but not being supported by the French or English, he was, of course, easily repulsed. Had Transcancasia become a ‘province or vascal State of Turkey, Russia would have been thrown back to the north and cut off from all connection with tho fertile regions of the Caspian and the head waters of the Eu- phrates, Her influence in Asia would have been com- pletely lost, and it is doubtful whether she would ever have been able to recover it. Now, on the contrary, se- cure from attack in her rear, and with a veteran army of one hundred thousand men at her disposal, abe is in the moat favorable position to interfere in the events that are preparing in the vicinity of her frontier. Colonel Fadeyeff thinks the Turkish empire is breaking up at last, and that we shall come in for a share of the spoik It may be recollected that a map of Europe, and the adjoin- ing parts of Asia and Africa, was published lately in Ps in which Poland figures a8 an independent kingdom and Russia is indemnified by the Asiatic provinces of ‘Turkey. There are many persons here, even in the governing circles, who ‘would be inclined to accept such @ solution of the Polish question; for, though Poland may be kept down for a while by force, it is felt that she must always be rather @ source of weakness than of strength to Ri and that the wisest thing we could do would be to ve a connection which is borne with impatience by one party and from which the other derives no real advantage. To be sure the Poles must give up all idea of getting back the old Russian provinces which once formed part of their kingdom, for it would be as much as Prince @orte- chakof’s, or any other Rusrian stateman’s head was worth, to of surrendering them. Advices from Odessa state that the railway fo Balta is opened, by which the granaries of Podolia brought into direct communteation with the Black Sea, This is of the highest tmportance for Odesea, whose commerce has hitherto been suffering from the competition of the Danubian provinces, the produce of which, owing to the miserable roads in Southern Ruesla, could be shipped at lower prices from Galatz and Ismail than the Russian cereals could be from Odesta. The cholera appears to be subsiding. From Berdit- choff, where it was most violent, the last accounts are favorable, and, as it has not come nearer to our capital, we yf hope, since the cold weather has set in, it will keep tance. ‘The last day or two, however, there has been a change, and it is quite mild again, though our myetoorologista continve to prophesy a very eevere winter, Claims of Irish Soldiers on the United States Government.

Huntington's magnificent painting, The Republican Court, or Lady Washington's Reception Day, purchased by A. T. Stowart, Esq, of New Yorks, at s cost of twenty thousand dollars, te to be exhibited for the benefit of the Lytng-in Asylum of the Infants’ Home, situated at the corner of Lexington avenue and Fifty-first street, The picture is highly interesting, both as a work of art and from the fact that it embraces life-tike portraits of the most distinguished personages of the trme of Wasbing- ton. Mr. Stewart has generously consented to the ex- hibition of the painting im order that the excellent charity named above may reajize an addition wo its funds, of which it stands much in need. The Corporation of the City of London has ordered that the whole of the windows in Guildhall shall form « completo series of stained glass illustrations exhibiting the principal events in the history of the city from early times to the present, and the first experiment has been made by the formation ef one window. The window contains eight subjects, embracing @ period of about one hundred and fifty years, commencing in the reign of Henry Ill. and ending in that of Henry V. The sub- jects are not placed exactly in chronological order in the window, but are arranged with a view partly to har- mony of subject, and party to illustrate the various phases of buman life, in which the city has always played a conspicuous part. Thus the two upper sub- jecta, Noa. 1 and 2, illustrate the civic, 3 and 4 the fes- tive, 5 and 6 the Industrial, and 7 and 8 the heroic ele- ments. The subjects have been selected with great care and carried out with great fidelity to authorities. The great work of Gustave Dore in illustrating the chief passages of Holy Writ is spoken of as a monument of hus taste, powor of execntion, patience and reverential. feeling. The affecting picture of “The Deluge’’ is re- garded as one of bis noblest efforts. On a small rock that jnts up sharply from the turmoll of waters women und children are clinging: and the beanty of the mater- nal instinct is enforced by the central form of a gaunt lioness, who holds aloft in her mouth one of her whelps, heedlees of the naked human babes crouching as heed- less of her, There is the “Judgment of Solomon,” in which composition originality is carried to the reversal of previous treatment of the subject. ‘The grave, white bearded figure of the King, whom Raphacl has depicted sitting calmly on his throne, becomes tn Dore’s picture a youthful, beardless sovereign, who stands erect and delivers his elict with a majesty not so passion- less as that of Raphael's Solomon. Again, the swords man who prepares to cut the babe in halves is ap old grizzly soldier, not, as in Raphael’s work, a youns, naked servant. There is the “Death of Samson.”’ The smallness of the principal figure, compared with the im- menso masses of wreck, the toppling pillars and cornices, and the huge equare blocks of displaced marble, is far more forcibly suggestive than where Samson himself nearly fills the scene, There is an “Entombment,” which, though it cannot pretend to vie with composi- tions that have engaged the highest efforts of painting, is remarkable for lis truthfnlness—one special instarive being the rigidity of the Saviour’s arm, the muscles straightened by tension on the cross. There is the “Meeting of Isaac and Rebekah,” with the tall, jank forms of the camels against the glowing evening sky. There is the “Destraction of Pharaoh’s Host,’ with the Israelites crowning the distant hill, and the figure nse, searcely visible, with upraised arms, looking s the boiling, yeasty flood.

At a late meeting of the Royal Institute of British Architects, in London, Mr. White read a paper op iron work a8 applied to architectaral purposes, He was.of opinion that tor cathedral architecture, and all the finest specimens of the art, iron is inapplicable, principally be enrise its great density does not permit its axe where au hw pression‘of bnik is designed to be conveyed, aud be- cauve of ite Habillty to oxidize rapidly. In ite place, for railway rheds and other buildings where utilitarianism is fan important element of construction, he thought iron very uee(ul, He Janrented the falling of in the quality of ‘wrought jron work ax compared with that of the four. teenth and flteenth centuries, aud the variety of shames that are common fn the manufacture, For | instance, it is not nmcommon to twist a square wrought iron rod, to increase both it strength and its beauty, for application to building purposes; yet rods are regularly cast in that shape, almost by the mile, He thought the present propensity to | ‘turn out goods by castings or machinery, to represent wrought iron work, reprehe and pointed out the falling off in the quality of wrought work, which is | visible tn the gates of many old mansions and aucient cathedrals, on comparing them with those of modern construction, CRLEBPATED PAINIRES PAINTED AT WORK.

Mr. Fi more’s ie another good one, representing him seated | bofore the easel, on which is the beginning | of his well known picture of “The Mob at the | Tollories.”’ Mr, Firth ie painted at his great “Royal Marriage” picture, with some aristocratic beauty seated on the throne, Mr. Millais is painting hia ‘Firet Ser mon,” from his own pretty little girl in her red cloak and fore. Mr. Pbillip’s beautiful studio scarcely gets justice done to it. The portrait, however, will serve to recall the distinguished painter of Spanish life and cha- facter.

SOUVENIRS OF VOLTAIRE AT avction, A late auction sale at the chateau of the deceased Marquis de Villette, in France, attracted a crowd of amateurs, who bid fora few historic souveuirs of Vol- faire. £7 was paid for the crown of gilt paper bestowed by the Thédtre Francais on Voltaire; his eatin vest wont for £19 12s. 6d., his dressing gown for £39 78. 64., his arm chair for £80, and his portrait by Largilli@re £288, Considering that this is a work of merit, by one of the greatest portrait paluters of the time, the sum appears trifling when compared with that given for the old robe de chambre, Voltaire first presented this painting to Mile, de Livry, and subsequently wishing to oblige the family whose hospitality he onjoyed so much of, begged Mile. de Livry (then Madame de Gouvernet) to allow him to transfer his gift to ‘the Marchioness de Villette, THACKERAY’S MONUMENT IN THE ABBEY, The honorary monument erected to the memory of William Makepewoo Thackeray, in Westminster Abbey, was uncovered on the 22d of November, The memorial consists of a fine bust, by Baron Marochetti, upon a base of red serpentine, tnounted on a bronze suppor, which | bears the tuscriptiou—a simple record of the nae and of the dates of birth and of death.

It has long been called by the neighbors L’orme de Florian. The Mayor and Municipal Council of Gagny solicited the Marquis de Nicolay to dedicate this elm to the public, und he having consented, it has been fenced in with iron railings, aud seats have been placed, around its trunk. My Viennet, the acadeinician, being asked to write an in- scription to be placed on the tree, composed the following lines, which may be read on a tablet gfllxed to it;— Flor'an me ehérit; mon ombre Vinsnira. Sespére qu’a mon tour sou nom me défendra, {Florian loved me; he found inspiration under my chade, Let me bope that his naie will protect me from outrage. } Literary Intelligence. arloton has in press completed and will iesue the first week in January, a new volume by Private Miles O'Reilly, entitled “Scripblings of # Year,” which is said to be very excellent and humorous by those who have geen its proof sheets.
