Bn eee Pn ITALY. — SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. ‘The Naples Banquets to Admiral F ‘arraguts 4 a Navies, March is, 1868. ‘The naval banquet given by Admiral Prova.'® of the royal Italian navy, to Admiral Farragut came O2 inth is city to-day, It was attended by the chief naval officers of Italy, the American admiral and many United States officers, and a brilliant assemblage of ‘non professional guests, R ‘The toasts were friendly and cordial towards tho Union, and highly complimentary to Admiral Far- ragut. The city authorities will give a banquet at an early day to the Admiral in the name of the Neapoll- tan people. : (Re ENGLAND Ireland—A Catholic University—Compliments to Ex-Amer‘can Officials. In the House of Commons to-night Mr. Gregory inqwred what ground the government intended to take in regard to the nse of mixed juries for the ‘trial of foreigners in English courts. The Attorney General replied that the government did not propose to interfere with the decisions of the judges on that point. Lord Stanley made an explanation as to the present state of the controversy with Spain con- cerning the Tornado case. He said the last step yaken by England was to demand the release of Mucpherson, Earl Mayo, Ohief Secretary for Ireland, said he would soon submit to the consideration of the House # plan for @ new Irish university, the officers of which were to be named by the Catholics, but whose privi- leges were not confined exclusively to Catholics. ‘The House then went into committee and resumed due debate on the grievances of Ireland. Mr. Horsman, member for Stroud, said the Minis- ters had promised a reform in Ireland, but their re- form proved to be only a commission of inquiry and @ new university, More than this was needed to conciltate Ireland, He deprecated the creation of a new college, of the character described by the Chief secretary for Ireland, as likely to foment sectarian vitterness and anger. The laity were satisfied with the present system of national schools, He declared chat no ministerial statement had ever caused him so much pain, A great opportunity was lost to con- viliate Irelaud, which should no longer be ruled by English lawa, customs and prejudices, but according to the wishes of the Irish people. Mr. Robert Lowe thought there was no good reason why the different religious sects should not agree as well in [reland as they did elsewhere. The existence of Fenianism was not in point as an evidence of dis- content, for there was no proof that the body of the Irish people sympathized with that rebellious spirit, which was confined to American agitators. The trouble was deeper seated. It was untrue that Ire- vand had been injured by English legislation. Gene- val assertions only were made about land griev- ances, but no facts were presented. He was ‘opposed to the system of small tenures urged by Mr. Mill and others, as not the highest type of civilization, which, if adopted, would be stereotyped ad infini- tum, He deplored the establishment of a sectarian college. Neither the clergy nor the laity wanted it. The proposition was simply a trick of the govern- ment to gain time. The fact was that one-tenth of ali the property in Ireland was public, but was used for the benefit of only one out of twelve of the in- habitants. That was the great evil, and it was a scandaious one. Mr. Thomas Hughes made a speech in which he urged a general reform in Ireland. Mr. Vance in the course of his remarks argued that free trade had been very injurious to Ireland. Mr. Jacob Bright forcibly denounced the anomalies of the Irish Church establishment. Mr. Mill deplored the beggarly account of the Irish policy of the Ministry, He approved of the manly »speech of Mr. Lowe on the Church question and concluded with an argument showing that such a college as was proposed was impossible. Mr. Gathorne Hardy defended the government, giv- ing a long ‘review of its Irish policy. He said he bvelleved the same fears were expressed and reasons given in 1843, yet how many years had the whigs held power since then without taking any action in regard to the grievances of Ireland. At eleven o'clock to-night the debate still con- tinued and the House will probably hold an unusu- uily long session. ‘The British League of Peace and Liberty proposes to offer Mr. Charles Francis Adams an address pre- vious to his departure from this country. The ad- dress will be presented through Mr. John Bright. Mr. Henry W. Lord, who 1s about to re. from the American Consulate at Man- shester, was entertained by the merchants of that city last evening at @ farewell dinner. The principal speech was made by the Mayor of Man- chester, Who Pa his regret at the departure of Mr. Lord, and warmly enlogized his conduct as commercial representative of the United States in Mi al eater, ‘The oMcial returns of the Bank of England show that the amount of bullion on hand has increased 24.006 wiring the week ending to-day.

PrKe’s OPERA Hovse.—Another dbutante, Madaure Izora Elder, made her first bow for the season before an immense house last night. The opera was the sparkling, merry “Crispino e 1a Comare,” and the new comer was the Annetta on the o¢casion. If, as her friends say, this was Mrs, Elder's firat appearance on any stage, operatic, concert or dramatic, her début was an extraordinary success, for ladies do not generally display such excellent acting at thetr first appearance in public, Her voice is something like Miss Hauck's, but of very limited’ power. The tone is pure enough and possesses at times a degree of brifiiancy. Her voice, however, needs considera- ble training and acquaintance with the stage to ac- quire ease and dramatic power. She was recetved with enthustasm, and her friends seemed te have ral- Hed in large numbers last night, Roncont was the Pe a and every one knows what he is in this col . The rest of the cast was satisfactory, and the sextet was tumultuously encored. “Don Giovanni” to-night and “Fra Diavolo” at to-mor- re matinée will bring the present seasen to @ STEINWAY HALI—FANNY KEMBLE’S RRADINGS.— Mrs. Kemble on Wednesday's matinée gave toa large audience as her reading the “Merry Wives of Wind- sor,” an agreeable change from those heavy and dismal tragedies such as “Coriolanus” and “Julius Cesar.” The age of those heavy old tragedies has, in fact, gone by, and the age of sparkling comedies, spectacles and extravaganzas is in full blast. The Treading of “Julius Cesar” the other night, for ex- ample, was most admirable, but the impression loft upon the mind was dismal. On the other hand, while the greater variety of characters, and the wit, tricks, fun and merriment of the “Merry Wives of Windsor,” afforded a larger scope for the versa- tile powers of the accomplished reader, the impres- sion brought iene y the hearer was jnst the differ- ence between that of a pleasant summer picnic and @ funeral. In this important view of the subject, Mrs. Kemble, great as she is in Shakspeare’s tragedies, would do well, we think, to give us less of them (ex- cept “Macbeth,” “Romeo and Juliet” and one or two others) and more of Shakspeare’s sparkling come- dies. This evening, we are accordingly gratified to State, she reads the interesting and pleasant story of “Measure for Measure.” Hoo.ey's OrEna Hovse, BROOKLYN.—A minstrel hall, and yet not all a minstrel hall, is Hooley's Opera House, for within tt are associated occasion- ally good dramas, most instructive dogs, panto- mimes and burlesques of superior order, At present the “Wild Fawn of the Woods” is the great spec- tacular attraction, of the merits of which we have already spoken, The facilities of thie theatre are highly favorable for the production of pieces like this. Nor ts the i any limit to the enter- prise of the manager in getting them up. ‘The pre- sent six nighis season of “Vivian and Dave tend, together with the “Fawn,” draws immensely, What Brooklyn would do without Hooley is @ probl MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES. A great treat was provided at the Theatre Royal, Hull, in the appearance of Miss Bateman for four nights, commencing February 24, in what we may call her own creation, Leah. Her rendering of this character is too well known to all, and has been too often described in theae columns, for us now tv occupy space in its description. All we can say is that the impersonation and realization are perfect, and that her attitudes form a succession of artistic tableaux that photograph themselves vividly on the memory.

ALBANY, March 12, 1568, Both houses worked véry thdnstriously to-day, sit- ting until the latest hour of the morning session and adjourning to meet again thisevening. The monoto- nous sound of debate in Committee of the Whole and of rolicallom third reading of bills was a contrast after the stir of yesterday. There was a little display of feeling this morning over the bill to loeate Courte of Special Soastons in all the police courts of New York. <A few years ago, it will be remembered, @ Dill was passed making Justices Dowling and Kelly the presiding justices of aCourt of Speciai Sessions, The’ other magistrates have contended that it was a very unfair procedure, inasmuch as the police justice who committed a man for any offence in a few hours or a few days after- wards sat to try the same person. If, however, all the magistrates’ were invested with power to alt at the sessions, the Board of Police Justices could so arrange {t that she accused would always be tried by @ magistrate different from the one who made out the commitment, The présent bill was intro- duced, col uently, to make all the police courts in New York Courts of 8; Sesstons also, It reached its third reading t« and was sed in the House by a large majority. ‘The republicans ran about not knowing what way to vote and seeking tn- formation, They voted for it almost unanimously. The qi was in the democratic ranks and was quite a bitter one, the opposition coming-from those who have some Pique against the demo- cratic police justices, Senator Genet introduced a bill which ts & quadra- ple the fees of coroners, und thereby largely add to he already very lucrative emoluments of that bu- reau of the city government, The bill proposes to five eacl coroner ten dollars for simply viewing the ly and adds almost as much more for the aueceed- inemens fo. the progress of an ingunes, ‘ne Broadway elevated railroad plan of last winter was revived in the Senate this morning.

This price is ten per cent below the lowest point touched in 1866, the fuctua- tions during that year having been from 4¢ to 70, since which time the stock has been steadily declin- ing in public confidence. Sixty-five per cent of the gross receipts of the company are, it ia stated, now absorbed in working expenses.

I and [1 «After many years of persevering toil,” saya the autho, “I present to my brother graduates of the Militar,¥ Academy this record of their services, hon- orable to themselves, giving world renown to their Alma Matc®, and claiming for their country @ place in the first r. ‘0k of military nations." ‘This work will not be considered by the public im the light tn whi &h its author modestly regards It, as having its chief i: Werest in the circle of the graduates from the Military academy. Itisa contribution to the history of the count ty, and just now will be more especially regarded a.¥ @ contribution to the history ofthe war, It ts hardi,¥ possible to over estimate tts value in this regard, 1't contains, well digested im cyclopredic form, a vast . mount of information of a Kind always diMcult to ‘tain, inasmuch as tt is im 80 great a degree personal, It comprises in its two Volumes of over six hundred pages each “The Etats de Service’ of all graduvtes from the catab- lishment of the Mititary Academy in 1802 to the present time; a complete r \gister of the officers of the institution, with their his\‘orles; @ full Uist of the military posts of the United : tates, present and pest; an alphabetical tabie of all battles, combats, actions, &c., imwhich graduates huve participated; besides much other useful and sti\tistical informa- ton, And these “Etats de Service,” 2,400 in number, though not biographies in tbe ordinary sense of the term, nevertheless contain the promtnent facts of each individual's military or public lite. They are the protracted creations of a lifetime, and do nos come in the category of the numerous easily writtem’ narrations and so-ealled histawies of the events of our great civil war with which.the press teems, and, moreover, they demand habits of mind, intellectual qualifications and tastes which are rarely combined.: When, however, such a work does at rare intervais appear it at once becomes @ necessity. No historian can write, no student can read av study his country's history without it, while to Mbraries, public und private, it becomes a.sine qua non. Nor would any one who has-become acquainted with the character of this work and feels interest ia the civil or military cureer of any one of the Academy’s graduates, or would have a remembrance ef the events of our various struggles with foreign Powers ov of thoae of that nfomentous one for ou® national existence, willingly be without these volumes. The preface to the work sets forth in brief the im- rtance of military education, 1% seems strange hat it could be necessary lo argue such a point, that we could expect individuals or nations to excel the most diMicult of ali arts without the study an practice whioh every other art er science or culling demands for its perfect exercise. Yet we cannot tgnore the fact that there are those who depreciate military education, and by the phrase “heaven born generals" would wxlerstund men who, from the bar or the plough, pass al once to the suc cessful command of armies. Such anomalies are never presented. Cromwell, indeed, had little edu cation of any kind when he entered public life, bur it required ‘years of the stern teachings of actu warfare to make him. the great soldier he becams Great soldier ag he was, he became yet greater ask statesman, and that, too, in the same school of actak practice in the art of stalesmanship. ‘The argumens against education would in Dis case be as stron, therefore, a8 upplicd Lo its use for making statesma as soldiers, Many, however, admit the paces of militay education while denouncing the Military Acadery a8 a means to that end. ‘Against tne aspersions of such it is the festurest General Cullyn’s work that. it furnishes so rich tu terials for its vindication. ‘To showing how the Acs- demy has been not only the means of giving.us sm accomplished body of officers for our amny, but aso of raising the siundard of seientific education in all the colleges of the land, and of stimulating the de- velopment of works of civil e1 ecring and internal improvements by furnishi e country with able civil engineers, a portion of the pce is devoted; and we think his statements, founded as they are upon the carefully collected facta which the book re- cords, Sinat be convinely fa! pal who hogy preju- diced beyond the power of truth to com The author is not less earnest and full tn dealing with eee of “disloyalty.” He Snipes that the most loyal branch of the public service when looked at asa whole, was that mainly constituted by the Academy and its graduates.

In the latter, mirthful acenes and care- less indolence of youth join hands with rosy- faced, laughing men and women in all the ani- mation of the hour. In accordance with the plans arranged the ladies last evening wore dresses of calico, while their gallant cavaliers were dressed in full evening costuines. Their neckties of elaborate calt- cote design and badges of similar material rendered the pleasant beauty of the whole artistic arrangement ble indeed, Many were the ladies present and many the designs of catico costumes; but the ant- mated beauties won distinctive honors by the displ of such charming taste that, although white—puri- ty’s own emblem—was quite appropriateiy universal, there were such numerous reliefs in tinted dresses of exquisite taste aa presented a scene of unusual beauty.
