BERLIN, April 6, 1868, After the passage of the emigration treaty on ‘Thursday the debate on Dr. Waldeck’s motion to al- low fees and mileage to the deputies of the Reich- stag was taken up, and afforded Count Bismarck an opportunity of uttering some of his a@ captandum phrases, accompanied with bravos from the right and inceasant laughter from the left side of the house. The Count’s strong opposition to fees was answered by @ fine speech of Dr. Waldeck, who showed that his bill was intended as an improve- ment of the constitution, and would not, as Bismarck had said, lay the axe to its foun- dation, that principles of liberality only could draw the South toward the North, &c., &c. Biamarck again rose for a personal remark, saylag:—‘‘The sup- position of the gentleman that the South Germans will not join us because we are not sufficiently liberal is altogether erroneous; they do not like us because we are, in their eyes, too liberal. You laugh, but it is a fact. The late electionsin South Germany have proved it, You have no idea of the inward. merri- ment I experience on account of your laughter, for by it you show your extreme ignorance of the actual state of things. If we were to make concessions to the South, assist them in maintaining an institution such as is now tottering in Austria, make reactionary concessions to them, we might gain a majority there for annexation, (Lauguter) 1 will leave it undecided whether it is at all a preference to be liberal. But it seems certain to me that Southern Germany ts far behind us in liberality, I will not say as faras a whole gencration, but as the period since the July revolution.” (Bravos and laughter.) The vote being then taken on Dr. Waldeck’s bill, @ very small majority, only five—97 noes to¥2 ayes—decided against it, On friday, before the adjournment of the Reichstag to the 16th: inst., Herr Lasker's bill was considered. It provides. o member of any Diet or Chamber in the North German Confederation shall be lia- bic to be prosecuted for his voting or expression of opmion daring the exercise of his functions. How smal! is the foothold enjoyed by constitutional doc- trines in this country was shown by the effort of Dep- uly Yon Leydewita to choke off the debate. This noble- nian ioved Hot only the order of the day, but the sinuple order of the day, on which motion, according to the rules of the house, on'y one member pro and one cont re allowed to speak, This was, however, objected re Windthorst to make t ‘They disputed the competency of the Reichstag vo A Dil, Which frespasses upon State rights, 4 some governments and would step upon the toes of sovereignty. As a compromise, Connt Bisinarek spoke of is wilfingness to aid the Chaniber in its efforts to gain liberty of speech, but declared himself terrified at the thought of voting the same to fifty or almost a hundred parliamentary bodies within the Band, He said he con- sidered liberty of speech a ~high distine- tion, fit perhaps for the Reichstag, but not for proyine.i 3; if given to the latter it would soon be asked for for election meetings, and then what guarantee is offered agaiust its abuse? He would not promise to vote for it nor exert his intu- ence with the other members of the Bund Councti; all he could do would be within the Prussian sphere and in opposition to his former sayings and doings against liberty of apeech. “ But to make it a general law, give it to hundreds of corporations without se- curity, that indeed he could not advise; if he gave up, for the sake of public opinion, what'he thought reasonable, he would jose more ia respect than he would gain in popularity.” What do Bismarck’s American friends think of his innate love of freedom and independence? Do they know that in 1849 he said in a public speech, “ Large cities are the principal hearths of revolution; they ought, therefore, be razed to the earth and blotted out of existence?” Lo Gotham house owners ad- mire such views? As to liberty of speech for all deputies within the Bund States, the Keichstag did not share¢the “Iron Count’s” views, 119 ayes voting for Herr Lasker's Dil, 65 against it; but owing to the avowed opposi- tion to be made by the Count in the Bund Council it has but itttle chance to become a law. A letter from the Germans in New Orleans was read by President Simson. It is accompanied by a silken Bund flag, embroidered by the German ladies of that city, who request its beg pues Sb in the hall of the Reichstag. After the latter has veen re- opened on the 16th inst., it is soon to be adjourned again to make room for the Zoll Parliament of both North and South Germany; then the final session of the Retchstag will commence, and, it is supposed, be closed in time for the King’s summer tour to Ems, where, a8 rumor has it, he will meet the Emperor Napoleon and conduct him to Berlin, ‘he Zoll Parliament elections in Wurtemburg and Bavaria have turned out quite anti-Prussian, The Zukunft, speaking of the election excitement in Stuttgart, says:—*Mr. Bancroft, the discoverer of that slight difference between the King of Prussia and the President of the United States—appointment for life- ume and hereditament (the impeachment trial was not yet thought of}—could have beheld in Suabla an election agitation not unlike one in the Far West; stump speakers, huge posters with the names of can- didates, nage, transparencies, Ae ape free fight and everything else to complete his picture of larity. Even the speeches of the candidave: bold, and uninfiluenced by fear of the ‘hate and contempt paragraphs,’ which in Prussia silence all oppositi jon, or reward it with fine and incarceration.” Considering the defensive capacity of Germany, it must be taken into account that the Baden and Wur- temburg armies are completely organized .on the Prussian footing, and that, after protracted toil and opposition, the Bavarian Chamber has agreed to tol- low suit, though in more than one district of that country serious revolis among recruits and militia troops and the parole—“we don’t want to be Prussi- fied""—nave been rife. Another step towards union may be recorded. On the Ist inst. the Mecklenburg and Hanseatic fag was lowered in Hamburg, Bremen, Lubeck and all Mecklenburg harbors, and the black-white-red Bund colors hoisted instead, All German vessels do now curry but this one flag. As to the bill of expenses to ne footed by the peo- ple, the new tax on tobacco and petroleuin, though not yet agreed to by either Zoli Parliament or Reich- stag, Seems to have encouraged the Bund Council to assent to an increase of pay of army officers, from meis upwards, to commence with the Ist of January, 1569, nd also to a new reguiation of ad- vancement in the army. Both Mecklenburg and Brunswick, who have not yet entered into @ military convention with Prussia, will thereby be induced to come to terms. A new arsenal is being built in Stettin; the new ninety-six pounders have been tried and found excellent, their conical shot striking through the thickest tron-plated targets. ‘The expense of testing a few of them—a forenoon’ experiment by the ilery Commis upon their und in the suburt Rerlin, witnessed by the ud even the Pri 8 Charle owns the chiehainshi of an artillery regiment—was mot less than 30,000 thalers; enough to have gone a good ways in alleviating the sufferiug in Bast Prussia, As @ rather opportune thing to justify the enormous military budget, the Danish question begins to loom up in the French and Austrian press, Denmark is said to have claimed back Alsen and sundewitt, with the Duppel fortifications.

RUSSIA. Commercial Reforme—English Opinion of the Alliance with America. {From the London Times, April 10.) The Empire of Russia is just now passing through ose revolutions of opinion which determine ly. It is not t, Or her designs upon Asia, or any other such demonstrations on of conquest. It is a home question ex- clusively, and oue which, though it undoubtedly in- terests ourselves and other people of Europe, con- cerns the Russians most of all. Briefly, the controversy is between free trade and Pro- tection. ‘That conflict of views which sooner or later arises in every state, according to its enlight- enment, has arisen to Russia. The most discerning statesmen of the bows gd have long felt the necessity of revising its tariff, and, except for a pecular, and unexpected opposition, their opinions would, in all probability, have before now prevatled, Most read- ers will be aware that the accession of the present Emperor to the throne was signalized by the adop- tion of what, under the circumstances, nay be termed a traly liberal policy. emancipation of the serfs ‘was of itself enough to characterize the new era, but besides that great measure many other reforms were gradually introduced by which the institutions of the country Were more or less assimilated to those of Western Europe. In the track of these wholesome innovations it 1s probable that free trade would have soon followed, when the rising spirit was sud- denly checked by a singular burst of popular feeling. ‘The Crimean war had left Russia enfeebled but not dismayed, and it can readily be imagined that a struggle distinguished by so many acts of heroism had acted powerfully upon the patriotism of the na- tion, This spirit became plainly visible during the last abortive insurrection of the Poies, England and France, a8 will be remembered, ventured upon some mediation in the government replied to the overture by a manifesto claiming for the whole empire an_ invinei) mination to juestion; but the Rus ian deter- aintain its ryghis aod its powe! $ not unnatural ebuilitioa of sentiment vith the revision of the tarliT it may per- der to imagine, but such was the cuse. or “nationality,” became a popular cry, t whieh had been evoked in behall of imperial pre‘easions Was transferred into a strugg.e for manufacturing monopolies, Moscow was a cen- tre of indinstrial enterprises as well as of aristocratic opinion, and “nationality” in industrial as well as in political institutions became a watchword of the old Muscovite party. The sticklers for the traditional pouicy of Russia were at the same time the protec- tors of Russian manufactures. Nobles and mill own- ers joined together to keep Russia as she was, Rus- sians were to be as they had always been—independ- ent, sel(-supporting, free from foreign influence and at liberty to accomplish their own destiales in their own way. This curtous indentitication of political und commercial traditions has actually enabled & comparatively smal! ome | to offer a successful resistance to free trade. commission which sat upon the question not long ago confined its sugges- tions of financial reform witnin very narrow limits, and itis now thought doubtful whether @ new com- Tulssion may not undo some of the little which had been done. “ Kussia for the Russians, and Russia for herself are the cries which have prevailed against the interests of seventy millions of consumers.

The Russians might ly the moral to their own case, but we may aiso in conclusion, that we have, in one respect, a kind of direct concern in the commercial policy which they may please to adopt. The revision of the imperial tari! is very closely connected with the prosperity of the imperial finances, and Russia is so ently a borrower that her finances cannot be a subject of indifference to paeope. ‘The higher Russian credit stands the better is it for Russian creditors as well as for Russia itself, and nothing would so tend to. this credit aga tariff more in accordance with the commercial prin- ciples now recognized in Western Europe. ‘To this extent the question may be said to interest us, but that interest, the Russians may assure themselves, is second to the concern we feel in the adoption of a wise policy by #0 great and populous a nation. INDIA. British Advance in Central Asia—Commercial Intercommunion—Official Inquiry and Ar- raugement of a Tarif In Thibet—Outlets in China and Russ a. (Bombay (March 14) correspondence of Loudon Times.) The government of India has just published a com- munication from the Punjab authorities and a re- port by Dr. Cayley, both of very deep interest, on the trafic between India and Central Asia. Lord Eigin’s death prevented a settlement with the Maharajah of Cashmere of the rates of transit duty tnrough his territory to Yarkand. These rates, however, were 80 prohibitory—being one hundred and fifty per cent on sugar, seventy-eight on tea and thirty on piece goods—that in 1864 Sir Robert Montgomery arranged for their reduction. But the Maharajah and his offl- cials 0 managed the reduction that the Punjab gov- ernment’ publicly pronounce it to have been “In reality little more than a sham.” Mr. Forsyth, c. ©., the Commissioner of Jullundur, the di- vision through which the chief commercial route les, discovered that all trade between Little Thibet and our provinces of Kooloo and Lahoul was practically arrested in Ladakh, which juts out be- tween the two. The impression had been sedulously fostered that the Maharajah was the paramount Power, and that the Queen and the Indian govern- ment were of no account, while our leading native official in Kooloo was in the habit annually of doing homage and offering tribute to the Maharajah, To prevent this and Rt Red the engagements of 1864 the government of Indla deputed Dr. Cayley, an ener- getic and intelligent assistant surgeon, to Leh, the capital of Ladakh. His instructions were to abstain from interference with the internal administration of Cashmere, but to see that the tariff of 1864 was car- ried out; to prevent any oppression of our tr: and to report not only on the nature and develop- ment of the trade with Central Asia, but all political information, especially as to the progress of events in Chinese Turkestan. Dr. Cayley reached Leh in June, last year, and his labors a8 a medical man and & commercial and polit- ical agent have fully justified his appointment. A uniform duty of 5 per cent. ad valorem is now levied on goods passing to and from Yarkand, the great mart of Little Thibet through Ladakh. Even after all this, however, the Maharajah ig doing his best to deceive us once more. He has tried hard to prevent the fine Turfani wool, of which the true Cashmere shawls are made, from finding Its way to Umritsur, His oppressions and monopolies have driven many of the weavers from the parey valley” to that and other inarts of the Punjab, aud many more would dc- sert were they allowed to do so, But the weavers can do little without the wool, and have been driven to the use of the very inferior article, Changtang, which is produced in the Chinese territories of Ru- dok and Churmuti, and reaches Umritsur and Noorpore without ing through Ladakh, The moment the real Turfani wool reaches thes¢ Places the great manufacture of true Cashmere shawls will either be transierred to them, or the Maharajah will be forced to abate the oppression whieh he exercises over his own weavers, who are in Se worse than serfs, leading a life similar to that of the “next”? and “addicti”’ of the Roman task- houses as described by Livy. Accordingly, the Ma- harajah is to be “courteously but firmly” required to carry out his engagements of 1864 aa to wool, in ed@nmon with all other articles, The Lieutenant Gov- ernor ‘assumes,’ says lis communication to the government of India, * that there will in future be no attempt made on the part of the Maharajah to exer- cise a monopoly over goods in transit, as being a proceeding opposed to the law of all nations,”’ jt only the presence of a British officer at Leh every season and the appointment of a permanent Resident to the Cashmere Valley will secure the honest discharge of ita ei ements by the Cashmere adininistration, It is to be hoped the Maharajah will Jearn how much better comparatively free trade will pay him than his monopolies, which have in truth year eted hens nearly destroyed the trade altogether, ‘The details given by Dr. Cayley may be compared with the recent report of M umiey on the Russian traMe. The distance from Umritsur to Leh is 525 mniles, or forty-two marches; there are five high gses, all above 13,000 feet, but the road is easy for jaden ponies. From Leh to Yarkand, the great mart of Little Tnibet, or what was lately Chinese Turkes- tan, the distance is 350 miles, in thirt; tive passes, none of which is lower and three of which are covered by glaciers and pe petual snow; yet, in spite of the intense cold, the transfer of the gsi from yaks to ponies, and the large unbridged rivers, the trade is brisk because the rots are so great. The imports into Leh from arkand and Changtang a few years ago amounted to £39,000 in valu last year they fell to £17,000, owing to the Cashmere restriction and political dimiculties caused by the expulsion of the Chinese and the rise of the Kush-Begi, to power. The imports last year consisted of wool, brick tea from China through Lhassa, felts, cotton, sliks, carpets, leather from Russia, the silver ingots known as yambres or kurus, gold bars and gold dust, musk und sult; which last the Cashmere authorities monopolize, compelling the people to carry it free of cost to Sreenuggur and Jummoo, Among the imports Were 80 Ib of common seaweed ali the way from the China seas, used as a medicine for goitre on account of its todine; and a la number of silk handker- chiefs from Bokhara, of the fnest_ texture and most variegated colors, The exports from the Punjab to Leh for Yarkand amounted to 1,900 imaunds (each 80 Ibs.) worth £17,300, They consisted chieily of English cotton goods, which are “greatly in demand’ in Yarkand, the traders asserting that “almost on unlimited amount of them” could be disposed of, But Dr. Cayley warns — sellers inst infertor cloths, He states that the broadcloth trade has been already ed by the old and infe- rior articles sent up from Hindoostan, so that Russian broadcloths now flad their way across Asia to the Punjab. Cottons of bright colors, red, blue, green and yellow, if of good quality, will sell at high prices in any quantity. So with tea. Since the Chinese have beea driven out of Turkistan it is sup- plied from India, China tea has hitherto been sent up from Bombay and Caicutia; but Dr. Cayley as- sures us that any quantity of second class green tea from the Himalayan plantations would sell at Yat kand at 6s. a pound. He expresses a “great hope that in a few years Indian (eas will find their way to Russia by this route, ag China teas do now, The dls- tance from Kangra to the nearest Russian ports is only two and a half months in time; from China it is from five to six months’ duration. Some of the In- dian teas seat to Petersburg by sea have been highly approved there. The other goods in demand Yarkand are spices, sugar, goat skins, indigo, idles and scissors. The expulsion of the Chinese has withdrawn all demand for opiam and left heavy stocks in the marke Yarkand is the one en/repot. There caravans from Bokhara, Kokan, Russian Turkistan, Kashgar, Tur. fan, Akser and the countries to the’ northeast meet the Indian traders ‘tor takes place, Only one- third of the price is generally pad in gold and silver. Hut Mr, Forsyth’s experiment of a fair at Palampore Was so sticcessful last year that probably that will form the Indian centre beyond which our tea planters, at least, need not go or send, Dr. Cayley’s repre- sentations of the ultracttons of the trade are as satis factory as they are experienced, Whatever may be the political state of the country, the respect for trade is 80 throughout Asia that no convulsion long interferes with it. The Kush-Hegi, who has conquel the whole of Little Thivet and threat Russia, is anxious that we should send an accredited envoy to Yarkand, and Dr. Cayley warmly urges this on gov- ernment. Ills territory covers an area of 30,000 square miles, and coutalns upwards of a dozen large and important towns. The detaily of the whole sea-borne trade of India for the past seven years gives an idea of the value of this internal trafic, which ts yet in ite infancy—is, indeed, at the lowest point ever reached.

On the 4th day of March, 1869, a new administration will be inaugurated. That it will be republican I do not doubt; for noone can well mistake the result of the coming Presidential election. Brecrshing portends the nomination and election of General Grant. ‘The whole country will unite in a common effort to render his administration successful, and such it will be. Resting Semiy in this belief, and regard- ing the commencement of this administration with the altered condition of the public offices of country attendant thereon as a most proper rie awe a change in the representative oMice, I asl another 1 be selected to take my place. In declining ‘a renomination I must couple therewith my most rofound and heartielt acknowl ents of ti generous confidence and Cee ever extended to me by the people who have 80 often empowered me to represent them. Trusting that they may select some one more worthy than I to express their voice in the councils of the nation, more competent to enforce their will, and not less true to liberty and human rights, I com- mit to their char — oe se the next siesos convention the dut; select my succt .

It seems they have car- ried their candidates for Judge and Clerk of the Recorder's Court, and gained four Aldermen in the City Council, by over nine hundred majority. Last year, at the Mayoralty election, the republican ma- jority was $,938—democratic gain, 4,848! The Chi- cago Times (democratic), among other ebullitions of its enthusiasm at the result, utters the following :— The republican national convention will be com- elled to hold its session in # democratic city—unless it moves away from Chicago. The chief city of Grant’s own state has pronounced against him. Chicago is democratic. This is great glory. The de- mocracy have covered themselves with honor and triumph. ‘The republicans have covered themselves with confusion and defeat, Itis a magnificent vic- tory. ‘The people have spoken in a loud voice. It is a great premonitory sympton. It is the handwriting onthe wall. It means greenbacks, It means Pen- dicton. It means revolution. Jt means that the day of reckoning with the destructionisis and spoilers 1s athand. It means that civil liberty and the rights of the States are to be re-established all over the land, and military despotism crashed under the heel of the people, COMPARATIVE STATEMENT. ‘The following exhibits the comparison between the vote thrown on the 2ist instant and the election one year ago for Mayor:— ——1867.-———. _ ————1868,- —_.

A feminine correspondent of the Philadelphia Press writes from Washington (April 21) about the incoming President-expectant, and thus felicitously and fancifuily touches up the old man:-— Massachusetts spared him room to be born, but the great West nourished him upon her broad bosom, and there his mind drank in the grand landscape of dimpled lake and sunny, dew-kissed prairie, and there he learned, irrespective of color or sex, devo- tion to his race, A seli-imade man, like our own la- mented Lincoln, iooking out upon the world with tne same kind, brown eyes; but there the com- parison ends, Mr. Wade is not tall, ungainly or awkward, Rather above the medium height, broad shouldered, he was apparently built for use instead of ornament, like a printing press or @ steam engine. Handsome, for the reason that not a weak piace in form or feature shows itself; comely, because every point is purely masculine, with no trace of the other sex, unless his mother’s soul looks out of his brown eyes—for it is well known that Mr. Wade is one of the Kindest men in Congress, also woman's best and truest friend—it is for this alone that we stand in his presence with uncovered head. It was Senator Wade who brought the bill before Congress giving to women in the District of Columbia tue right to hold her own property and earnings in direct opposition to the wishes of a dis- solute husband, It was his personal efforts in the beginning that changed the laws of Ohio In woman's favor, and, to use his own language, “If did not do it because they are women, but because it is right, The strong have no business to oppress the weak.” Sitting in his presence, the other day, we ven- tured to remark, “How did it happen, Mr. Wade, that you signed the petition of Mra, Frances Lord Bond, recommending her for a consulate? Would you really advise the country to give a woman such ® position?’ The spirit of mirth danced over his face as he replied, would sign any petition that reads as that did. It said, ‘if she couid perform the services better than any oue else.’ [had a doubt in my tind about that; but if she could do the work better than any one else | would not prevent her because she is a Woman.” Political Miscel Under the heading of “A Man and a Brother” a Georgia exchange furnishes the following:—An unpretending slab of humble bass wood at one end of the square aperture in the sand where the emancipated dust of the veteran reposes telis the passing traveller, In this aunpie manuer, the tragic story:— ive Sam, A Native of Yazoo county, Mississippi; a Bred a Siav He starved to deatii a free Awerican citizen, His Carecr Was brief—an oxcelient fleld hand and @ loyal soldier, and A patriotic citizen, who voted often and earnestly; being suddenly deserted y his carpet-bag friends, le sickened and died of too mach Liberty and ‘Too lttie—Grat, Yet o’en those hones from Inauit to protect, Some frail memorial still, erected nigh, With uncouth lines and shapeiesy ac Implores the passing trowple of a sigh BenLook Froit, A now dodge of the radicals to procure the impe ment of the President has been the writing of violent letters to Senators pretending to emanate from Ku Kinxes and threatening them with ali sorts of “raw head4 and bloody bones"? trouble, even death by nusadsination, if they dare to vote for impeachment, } It 8 aot to be presumed that these letters are writ- deck", SHEET. ten with the connivance of Senators in order to sereen them from popular obioquy in case tmpeach- ment shall be carried. ‘The Minersville (West Va.)

Opening of the St. James Hotel—Description of the Building and Its Appointments. Boston, April 22, 1863, ‘The opening of the St. James Hotel last evening was an event that will not soon be forgotten in the city of Boston. The old town has previously enjoyed sensations of a stirring nature, among which we can mention the famous ‘tea party” in the harbor in the last century, and the not leas important event to the local interests of the city—the final departure of the Cunard steamers from the port. Both were looked upon as historical events. They are to hereafter divide the honors with the great event of last night— the operfing of the St. James Hotel, What- ever tends to add to the comfort and enjoyment of the great public deserves hon- orable mention, The new hotel which I am about to describe is certainly entitled to notice, because it meets the wants of a great public, which has long desired a first class hotel in this city, where all the elegance and comfort of the present day are afforded. Boston has long been behind the time, Its hotels have been old fashioned, dark, gloomy and decidedly peculiar. One looks over a cheerful burial round; another stares on @ horse car depot, and a ird is painfully close to the City Hall. None are quite up to the demand of the times. They might have done for the nw ererrcorg) but for the present it is an acknow! tt that they are far behind what is demanded by the iblic, just travelling pul ‘The St | built Ps journalist, Mr. Maturin M. Ballou, who ie scheme which hundreds have dreamed over, is designed to fill the most ad- vanced wants of the New land ple, and, in- deed, the entire people of the tates, The St, James is located at ‘otel, just ed, the “south end» of. Boston, "It is" on twenty minutes’ ride from thedusiness portion of the city, and yet it is clear out among the n fields, where the fresh air has a full sweey lany people are stupid enough to suppose that it is too tar from the centre of city trade and trafic to succeed, but they lose Fi of the general drift and current of life, which flows from and not to the busy marts of commerce. The Park of New York is to bethe broad point around which the elegant residences of the wealthy New Yorkers are to cent and so it is in Boston. The natural tendency of the Bostonians is to get out of the crooked and contracted streets of the old town and to seek broader fields, where there is room and air and freedom. So the great New England hotel goes out to the South End and es- tablishes itself as a beacon light to which all the better people, who like a rus’in urbe life, will soon hasten and build around it a new bie The St. James Hotel is the largest building in New Engiand and one of the largest, as it is the finest, hotel in the world. It is built of brick, faced with Quincy granite, and with its six lofty stories lords it over Franslin Park and looks down upon the city of Boston and across to Clarlestown and Chelsea like @ gigantic French grenadier, assured and proud of its position. Take the facade of the Tuileries in Paris and you have a correct idea of the front of the hotel. Those grand, broad, airy turrets of the Mansard style loom up above the French roof and add a stately ef- fect to the entire building. Indeed, they domineer over the entire city and emphasize that portion in which they stand. The outward effect is colossal and imposing. Baron Haussman’s dream of the Magnificent in architecture is here developed, and old travellers look around, when they glance at the splendid domes, to catch a sight of the Notre Dame or the Invalides towering aloft, a8 though they gazed in the Parisian sky. ‘The interior is quite in keeping with the exterior. It is a model of convenience, elegance and coumfort. The experience of @ lifetime has its fruition in the internal economy of this grand hostelry. ‘There is no new invention which can economize labor or pro- mote comfort that is not embodied in the ‘improve- ments” of the hotel. Machinery is brought in play to perform the labors of the house. Guests are car- ried up to the highest foor in smoothly gliding cars, 80 gently that they do not realize the fact that they are moving until they reach their domicile. Their clothes are washed, dried, ironed and laid before them by machinery without noise or confusion, All the domeatic labors, save those iat te table and in the apartments, are per! yy the agency of si No more complete mechanical houseliold exists than. the St. James. ‘The furniture and all the accessories of the hotel are magnificent. The most exquisite taste pervades the entire establishment. ‘There are no gold and glit- ter to captivate the senses for the moment, but every thing is solid, comfortable and elegant. I venture to assert that there is no hotel in the world that equals the St, James in all its Geena 1 have not the space to describe them in detail. 1 can only general- ize, and convey the entire idea by saying that it is by all odds the first hotel in the world, in eve: of the term. Boston may well be proud makes the city 8 grand watering place, because St. James, located in the het yet in the coun- and contiguous to splendid bay, and close at hand to the charmin, suburbs of the town, affords to the public the most attractive caravanserie in the entire country. The leasures of the city are extended at one and the charms of the country are to be enjoyed at the other. What can be more desirable, in the absence of the Cunard steamers, Saratoga, or Lake George? Last night more than ten thousand le crowded the brilliant .halls of the people’s palace and right ym inaugurated its career. The proprietors, Mr. J. . Stetson and Mr. Charles Stetson, Jr., gave @ happy evidence of their talents as hosts in generously and liberally su ing the immense crowd of visit- ors—the élite of the city—with a supper that certainly met the highest expectations of the guests. While the thousands moved in and about the hotel, Gil- more’s Band discoursed captivating music in the most brilliant style, filling the halls with melody. Mr. J. R. Hall, the architect, in giving Boston so splendid a building, is certainly entitied toa brief mention. He has produced something that the coun- try may be proud of; and the Stetsons wil! surely see to it that the reputation of the house will never pule, BOOK NOTICE. Sriarcat. Wives. By William Hepworth Dixon, author of “New America,” “The Holy Land,” ae Penn,” &¢, Philadelphia: Lippincott & That this work has already secured an immense cireuiation is a proof of its supplying an actual de- mand. Its success refutes at least one of the many severe criticisms hurled at it—that it is superfluous. ‘The author begins his preface by saying:—‘“The sub- ject opened in these pages is so far new that scarcely any of the facts are to be found in books. Man in his higher phase has hardly come within the grasp of science, and the histories which shall illustrate his spiritual passions have yet to be compiled. One chapter in one such history is diffidently offered in the present work.” He adds:—‘‘I have collected my facts in distant places; in the Baltic provinces, in the west of England, on the shores of Lake Ontario, in the New England cities.” This indication of the sources from which his material has been derived should silence those superfictal critics who have imagined that a special motive of Mr. Dixon is to injure America by exposing a8 something peculiar to American society what we see in all our Gothic capitals, from Stockholm to London, from Berlin to New York—a rapid slackening and unwinding of the old fashioned nuptial ties, to the great relief and delight of pupils in the schools of Milton and Goethe; to the very great scandal and amazement of men who look on marriage and divorce from the point of view held by men of the Latin race. The sixty-four chapters in which, with all the skill of a first class reporter, Mr. Dixon sets forth the facts scattered over the wide field of reading and travel explored by him are suggestive as well as entertain. ing. That the glowing style in which some of these chapters have been written by the editor of the London Atheneum has been gravely censured can be accounted for only by presuming that some critics are capable of condemning a book solely because it is not dull. 4 ‘The objection that this book is not profoundly sct- entific and philosophical is equally idle, for the au- thor manifestly neither intended nor tried to make it so. He has merely aimed to collect and put into con- densed form a mass of curious facts illustrative of his subject—“ Spiritual Wifehood.” With this pur- pose his researches extend from St. Paul and the holy sister who accompanies the apostie on his trav- ela, and from the Agapm or love feasts of the early Ohristians to the promulgation in the middle ages by the great fraternity of the free sptrit of the old Gothic doctrine of spiritual and natural aMnitios, « doctrine which startied mankind in the conduct of John of Ley- den; which appeared in the sermons and the practices of Ann Lee; which took aspectal form in the apecula- tions of Emanuel Swedenborg; which found a voice inthe artistic work of Wolfgang von Gasthe; and which has been varionsly Lota wed by the Bbellans of Ost Preuasen, the Lampeter Brethren of England, tie Perfectioniata and the Mormons, and the free lovers of every aehoo! in America. Ja this country the great revival of 1892 has been followed by the ‘strangest results, which are clearly extibited by Mr. Dixon, Who claims to be, perhaps, the frst writer by waom the fact has been noticed eeof the moat singular movements in the hes of our generation seem to have been con- nected, more or leas closely, with the state of mind 6 in Germany, one in Bng- rosuited, among other things, im the establiai of tarve singular societies le Congregation of hay wont Pletiste called the Mucker) at Kéniguberg,! me of Princeites ut Spaxton and the Bible Communist at Oneida Creek.

Wassinaton, April 20, 1868, To THE EpiTor oF THR HERALD:— In your Washington correspondence mention is made of the sale of two iron-clads—Oncota and Catawba—to Alexander Swift & Co., for the sum of $755,000. To those who do not understand the case the sale may appear to be a very pretty thing. These monitors cost the government a little ever $1,400,000, have never been in commission, and are, if there is any choice in the iron hull moniters, or if they are worth anything, the very best in ournavy. But there appears to be something very singular in the sale of these monitors when viewed in connection with the rumors and talk on the street about the action of Congress, the Navy Department and certain foreign officers. It will be recollcoted that Congress almost suspended operations white the act authorizing Secretary Welles to dispose of useless iron-clads was being put through. Some people thought the Treasury would fait or suspend unless the iron-clads were immediately sold and the value received was deposited in the Treasury forthwith. As soomas the bill passed authorizing the sale, and the board ‘was appointed to appraise them, the Secretary ad- vertised for proposals before the board had time te even see them, much less to determine which were ef the least value to the government and report their estimated value. The Secretary's advertisement was dated 18th February, and the bids were opened om the 20th of March. The following bids wore re- ceived, viz:—Partridge & Perry, for Oneota $476,000, for the Catawba $480,000; M. F. Merritt & Oo., for Oneota and Catawba, $801,000; Daniels & Smith, for Oneota and Catawba, $1,590,000; Fuentes & Co., for Oneota and Catawba, $1,025,000; Wm. D. Ri Oneota and Catawba, $ Oneota and Mravyiet $850,000. It is difficult to understand were accepted, and that Ale: r Swift & Co., whe were not bidders, conld buy these monitors for $66,000 below the lowest bidder, unless we take the = lanation of a letter published in the El Cronista rch 7, @ translation of which is as follows:— stare gorrempondent, Mr Wis Hcsemeut of the pat that ie pi Manel Fao the details of the transaction, T-desire to furnish thei for ub t that the well-disposed le see hor Parties fn this case Cate for the laws of thelr own, sF # i i aa tli i i i s. ii ‘4 ? i i 3 neota for them was $1, pt at 3 above the al cost rties Interested. them for sea, and the oF March.
