The German ‘mail steamship Bremen, Captain Neynaber, which left Soutnampton on the 30th of June, arrived at this port yesterday morning.

The Northedst Correspondence mentions that the provisional government of Servia, at Belgrade, placed seals on the property belonging to the late Prince Michel. On investigation the amount was found to be one million of ducats (each 5f.) in specie and thirteen millions of ducats in various securi- ties. ° ‘ ‘The Sultan has conferred the dignity of Pacha on two Prussian officers who have been occupied as in- atructors in the Ottoman army.

The address was signed by upwards of twenty thousand clerical and lay communicants of the Church of England. The Archbishop, in reply, ‘was of opinion that the Bishop of Nafal had been Spiritually depdsed from his functions, Like the deputation, he was careful to designate his right reverend but heretical brother ‘Dr.’ Colenso. The London Star, speaking of the son of the late Emperor Theodurus, now on his way to England, says:— ‘ rik Theodorus’ son is the maternal grandson of a former Prince of Tigre, who Was deleated and cap- tured by the Abyssinian King. His mother, it will be remembered, dicd of consumption a few cays after her arrival in the British camp. She prayed that the wardianship of her son might be entrusted to aptain Speedy, for whom, years ago, Theodorus en- tertained a high respect.

A wagon, accompamed by M. Gritiet, Who manufactures Uiis dangerous arucie, brought 2,000 Kilogrammes (4,4)1 pounds) to the quarries belonging to M. Zaman, where It was to be used in blasting operations. The wagon arrived at. the quarry, foliowed by M. -Grillet, already Mentioned, three soldiers and two workmen to unload tt; two carpenters were working at’a little distance, and a young girl was close by gathering shavings.

Dodestel itself, In su; e detail itis in keeping with the general design. A Square of cast bronze placed on tho stone pillar sy) & similar slab oi Jess dimensions, decorated with inscriptions and reliefs. On its front, a fitting motto of the monument, appear the closing words of Luther’s celebrated speech in the Worms Diet:— “Here I stand. 1 cannot speak nor act otherwise. So help me God. shen.” inder the legend are the- medailions of John the Constant and his son John Frederick of Saxony,who 50 steadfastly stood by Lu- ther in his troubles, On the opposite side 18 en- graved a passage from another speech of the flery reformer:—“The Gospel which the Lord put into the mouth of the Apostles is His sword. With it He strikes the world as with a thunderbolt.” Under. “neath are the portraits of Ulrich von Hutten and Franz von Sickingen, the two noble knight who brought the chivalrous spirit of their class to the de- fence of Truth and its less warlike champions. To the right of Luther we read the following sentence from his correspondence:—‘‘Faith is life Im God, but it ig only through the spirit of Christ that we can hope to understand Holy. bal vorteata of <i Buggenhagen, the Pomeranian reformer, an Tones Senna, the intimate friend of Luther, into ‘whose ear, @ moment before his death, he poured the confession of his unshaken faith, are inserted on the same side. Einally, on the left we read:—Those that rightly understand Christ will not be moved by what man may enjoin. They are free, not inthe flesh, but in the spirit.’ John Calvin and Ulrich Zwingli, the founders of the Reformed church in Switzerland, are aptly placed under this motto, their deviations from Luther pro- ceeding from their partiality to the spirit rather to the letter of the Bible. . ‘The lower slab contains scenes from Luther's life in aito ritievo, Here we have him making his speech in Qie Worms Partiament, nailing his themes to the door of: Wittenberg Cathedral, marrying his Catha- rine and translating the Bible In the sequestered castle of Wartburg. For character and finish these smaller castings ave ly praised. The four figures sitting at the feet of their nfore successful brother in arms next claim our attention, Petrus Waldus, of whom no portrait has been pre- served, is represented as a r wanderer, with torn cloak and staf, and preaching, with the Bible before him, as his guileless heart dictates, Wickliffe, whose features are likewise unknown to posterity, is arrayed in a doctor's garb—a venerable Sage, gently stroking his beard as a man wrapped in con- templation, #ussis the martyr, preparing for death. Weighed down with bodily weakness and prolonged imprisonment, he sits a harrowing picture of misery. But his sharp and emaciated features are lit up an inspired look directed towards the crucifix clasped in his hands, The vehement apostle is aise (hey in the person of Savonarola. He lifts his right hand to heaven and beats his heart with his le! jooning down on the spectator from his cowl with eyes flashing fire. To the ‘victorious tranquil- lity of Luther these sorrow-laden harbingers of a terday form a@ contrast alike beautiful from an fim a8 it is satisfactory from an intellectual point of view. Of those on the balustrade, Frederick the Wise first meets onr eye. Wearing the ermine robe of his the imperial crown at his feet. He looks pene the right nor to the left, but, as was his wont life, straight forward. His firm yet unpretending countenance is characteristic of him who would rather remain ruler of Saxon; than sway the empire with its by sey factions ant interminable discords. Next to Providence, it is to this great and good man that Germ: is indebted for the triumph of religious liberty. It was he who protected Luther from the sword and poniard of his enemies, gave him a livelihood and afforded him leisure for his spiritual work. It was he who con- cealed him at Wartburg, made him a professor in the Theological Faculty at Wi ets, and furnished the wherewithal to maintain that delightful home presided over by Kate.. An Englishman is naturally gratified to reflect that, as he was the most cele- brated ancestor of the Prince Consort, he stands in the same relation to the future kings of his couniry. Unfortunately the principal branch of his issue have relapsed into Catholicism. In the course of the last century the Dresden dynasty, to be able to ascend the Polish throne, changed their religion. They have long lost the bei Wale for which they sacrificed so much, and, residing again on the Elbe, are now the only Cathoit ppeecetary they rule. But to rev the monument, Philip of Hesse, who very ngarly forfeited his patrimony by taking mp the causé, is ‘one of the best statues, his huge sword he awalung the a i a doctor of divinit 8 a prototype of the German professor of the day. You almost believe you hear him lecturing, so grave and schojastic is his mien. What he achieved for the Hebrew grammar, Me-- lanchtion, Who stands opposite, did for the Greek. Without the aid of these two Luther's translation of the Bible would have been impossible. The mid expression of countenance and .temperate dignity smeanor which distinguished Meianchthon are well-rendered in the statue. ‘rhe three symbolic figures representing Magde- burg, Spireyand Angsburg are not ail equatly pet Magdeburg is praised as a most exquisite mance, Spires Letuing on ze3 up to heaven as though ohn Reuchlin, in the cloak of us, diseomfited, dishevelled, her aris hanging down, her eyes fixed in despair.

Their achievements are worthy of the studio whence they proceed; but, while Lr eggs 4 themselves of their task in excel- lent style, each of the three sculptors seems to have followed the particular bent of his genius rather than co-operate with the others in the prd- duction of an artistic whole.

The interest taken by the public in thé great de- bate on the Gladstone Church bill in the House of Lords seems to have increased in intensity during the interval since Friday. Not only was St. Ste- phen’s Hall lined on both sides with a multitude of strangers waiting their turn for admission, as on the | first night of the discussion, but the Great Hafl, the a Gallery were besieged by a crowd more than sufi- cient to fill the very limited space that could be ab lotted to them.

The Duke of AkGyw gladly accepted from a Min- | istry which had abandoned its y standard, aud from Lord Grey, the type of crotchety pol me reproach that the disestadlishmenit of the Irish UI arty questions out of the lation, economy of the funds of the Irish Church. ton of abstract specu had voted for the first resolution might consistently hers r vote against a measure of disendowment, and Peers who voted for this bill might con- sisiently vote even fe pol future measure of disestablishment. Nor would this bill kill the Irish Chureh by inches by means of continual ex- tensions. It would, in all probobility, insure a speed; compromise among religious parties in Ireland, and, at all events, could not be extended without the con- sent of this House, As to its origin, he dented, while severely rebuking Lord Derby for his “parody” of Mr. Gladstone’s speech and opponente’ speec! eneral, the cogency of the accusations against the jate Ministry for not having brought forward this question of the Irish Church while absort by the question of reform; and he thought thatthe Fenian conspiracy, though not connected directly with the Irish Church, was @ most proper occasion for the Legislature to show that its con- science had been awakened as to the neces- sity: of diminishing the traditional disatfection which was the pabulum of Fenianism, The pretene government, as renrape ee by the Secretary for Ireland (since he could not appreciate the Duke of Marlborough’s distinction between endowing pro- fesgorships and endowing @ university), had itself evinced a sense of the necessity of doing OTIS, But it had done nothing, The occupants of the Episcopal bench, with the esprit de corps existing between all established churches, had adopted the ecclesiastical motto, “Non possumua.” Hence the task was forced on the liberal party. And in the plan it had chosen he was convinced it had decided Panty in not attempting to effect that for which, indepengent of other objections, the funds would have proved totally inadequate—viz., indiscriminate religious endowment. Their plan had been assailed as a violation. of the rights of property. But the resem question was one of policy, not of pro} ys it was noteven the fact that the property enjoyed by e Irish Church was bai sp sgl of @corpora- tion, for it was the property any numberof sepa- rate corporations. But, moreover, the right to cor- porate property was exsential different from the right to private rOpery and the State, guided by a conscience enlightened by reason, had a perfect right to deal with property given to religious ag well as other public uses. He himself, as a public felt, free, and even bound, to restore the property af this Ohurch to ts true uses, and to take tt from a fla- cae unjust use; and believed, Protestant though 6 was of Protestants, that the interests of Protest- antism in ireland would suffer no detriment. The BIsHoP OF OXFORD read, written broadly over the whole of the Duke of Argyll’s courageous beri the title “Presb; lan.” He asserted at, whatever might be alleged, there. was a clear intention to disendow, and the expediency and justice of this he denied, ‘The circumstances of the Janadian Church were entirely unlike those of the Irish church. A nation or Church in its youth could dispense with endowments. A nation’s youth was the time of endowments; but achurch which had once been endowed formed, as did men, habits from these circumstances, and it was ungenerous and unfair, in spite of Mr. Spurgeon’s congratula- tions to the Irish Church on its threatened fate, to abandon it, despoiled of its anglent endowment, to an unequal conflict with religious bodies which had not been endowed. He maintained that to confis- cate “the property: of the Ivish Church, which was still the Church of St. Patrick, would, besides being most unjust to the seven hundred thousand Pro- testant souls, be unjust to the Church of Ireland itself, and would be to allot the penalty before allotting the blame—dlame which, when the accoun!s were fairly cast up, would be found to attach, first of all, to the English government, which had, as Boul- ter, Spenser, Swist proved, made the Irish Church the meanest instrument of our misrule, He urged, finally, the rejection of this measure, as what might be, he would repeat, 2a Sp ge ate as an attempt ‘to buy off assassins, as unfair, since it made the Trish Ohureh the State’s wiping Boat as inexpedient and ungrateful, since it would deprive Ireland of the most intelligent and energetic class of the commu. nity, and a8 a scheme which would, in deference to the sentimental grievance which persons felt at the possession of property by their neighbors, endanger the highest religious and political interests of we country. Lord SHAPTESEURY was vehemently opposed to the tablishment of the Iris Chureh. He, moreover, vonsidered the bill feeble, meagre and insignificant. But he feared that its rejection on the eve of an elec- tion might be used to indace a feeling that the House was opposed toa fail inquiry on this subject and might thus prove injurious to the Irish,Chut He concluded by announcing his intention, out ‘of re- gard to the opinion of friends, of taking no part in the division, ‘The DuKs or RrcHMOND thought the minority argu- ment a dangerous one. At all eventsthe Legisiature would certainly not ta past times have entertained a plan for disestablishing the Irish Church, and as the proportion of its members to the popuiation had ia creased there was less reason for doing it now than rmeriy. Ue believed that the Irish Church had a perfectly good ttle to its endowments and that to deprive it of them would be on all grounds impoiitic and unjust, Lord BANDON considered that the Irish Church conld make out a goud historical claim to its esta‘es, which, were not, in fact, spoils. of the Roman Catholic Church, and that there was no conhection between F sta and this question. He had been unable to disco’ any parallel to this bill but in the history of the sorceress Medea, The Church of Eng- land and of treland was one, and injury to the one would be injury to the other. As for the question of the interests of Ireland supposed to be likely to be promoted by this bill, the best thing for Ireland would be to give it ean, and develop its natural re- sources, but politically to leave it alone. 5 Lord Granary thought there was a good deal in the argument for the bill based upon Feuianism, and very little in that against it derived from the proba- bility that disestablisnment would have the effect of doing away with the clergy tu their character of resident gentry. Karl RUssELL was of opinion that great art had beea used in avoiding the reai question at issue, and throwing dirt on opponents; and he drew a@ par- allel between the poiitical conduct of certain former members of the houses of Kussell and "Stanley. Passing lightly by objections to the bill ou points of detail, which might be easily corrected in pices] and the advantages alleged to accrue to It from the presence of the clergy as a body of resident gentry, he contended that the Irish Chureh not on! ed in promoting religion and morailty, whic! were the ouly true objects of a church, but worked | end harm by keep! ine up among the the eeling of an ineq ty ‘This might deed, have been assuaged had Mr. Pitt's pled; given at the Union, been redeemed. As cure of this grievous inequality was dethanded. He himself at one time thought, but he thoucht no longer, that an endow- ment of the other religious bodies in Ireland would be sufficient. The conservative party in this House appeared ready to reject the measure of relief which this bill contained, notwithstanding {ts approval by a majority of the House of Commons; but he warned them, by reference to the precedents of the Catholic Relief, Corn Law Repeal and Reform biils, that if this bill were rejected bills would be sent up from the other House by still incroasingg majorities for the disestabjishment and disendowment of the Irish Church. He proceeded to defend the conduct of the late Ministry iu pot having undertaken @ measure of this sori, together with a Keform biil, and con- cluded by expressing his confident conviction that none of the fatal consequences predicted by the op- ponents of this bill would follow. The LORD CUANCELLOR sald that this bill professed | to be a mere c that the proposition whence it followed, which had not been brought, t!- deed, before this House, was embodied in the reso- Jution of tue House of Commons that the Church of Treland should lo exist as an Bstablished Church, wh both disendowment and | disestablishment. ‘These were the real issues now at%take. But the bill, Uie very title of which was & misuomer, Was, apart from tie consequences which | tt involved, so full of faults’ of detail that the only | possible way of remedying it in committee would be | by strixing out every clause, By it the succession of the Cuurch, uninterrupted for ages, would be broken olf, mot because something had been determined, bat because i might be— with the result that the national Church would .bo placed in a worse position than any voluntary Church, and that the working in the dierent dio- ceses of the island would become entirely unequal. | In the course of a very elaborate review of the bill, for which he denied that the act of 1833 was any precedent, he showed @hat the consequences to the | Tamilies of deceased bishops and incumbents would be calamitous; that one of the most practical results would be, by suspending the patronage of the bishops, to deprive seventy out of seventy-five curates of all chance of benetices, and that generally | the action of the Church and the process of augmen- | tation of poor livings by the Ecciesiastical Commis- sioners, to which the faith of Parliament was | pledged, would be paralyzed. Then, passing from he details, be claimed the authority of Lord Palmersion for the conclusion that the act ¢ Union was against the bill; and he distinguished the legislative interference with the Church Establish- ment in Australia and Jamaica from the present at- tempt. But the bill was said to be required as an act of justice. Now, there being admittedly no rival clatinants, there coukd be no injustice in the reten- tion by the Irish Church of its pro) ry —cnleee JS deed, possession of property ey any.

One said, eloquence; another, knowledge; and a third aptitude for work. Pitt replied, ‘No: neither eloquence, nor knowledge nor labor, but patience |’ We know that lony before the English Minister Buffon had considered patience to be genius itself, The theory of youth in political positions, put forward by our contemporary, is vicious in its very foundation, for youth and age are relative terms, since one man is old at twenty- fiye and another young at eighty. We have excellent personal reasons not to say @ word in disparagement of youthfulness, But we know that in every career— in all flelds open to individual activity—nothing can take the place of the experience, calmness, seif-pos- session and serenity of mature age.” The Aventr National, speaking .of a bill now be- fore the Legislative Body to abrogate article 1,781 of the Civil Code, declaring that masters in disputes with workmen should be believed on their simple aifirma- tion, observes that down to 1843 it was quite natural that the article in question should form part of the French legislation; for as the system of elec- teral qualification reserved to proprietors and li- censed traders payittg 200 francs In taxes, the mo- hopoly. of political capacity and prudence, the pre- sumption of morality ought to vary according to the diferent classes of citizens. Some vain attempts had previowsly been directed against the enactment, but the revolution of 1848 alone could give them full satisiaction. : ‘. ‘Yhe Emperor Napoleon arrived at Fontainepleau from the camp of Chatons on Saturday evening, June 27. ‘The following letter gives an account of the pro- ceedings before the departure:—His Majesty got on horseback this (Saturday) morning at eusht o'clock precisely and passed the trooys®@n review for the last time before leaving. ‘They were formed ina large hollow square in front of tie imperial quarters, the infantry and cavairy massed on the*sides, the artillery in two lines at the botiom and the engineer corps opposite this latter.

Rome, June 21, 1868, The Neapolitan Bourbons cling to Rome as their last rock of refuge upon Italian soil.’ Erancis II is still infatuated enough to dream of restoration and is in- cessantly busy in receiving and despatching his emis- saries. 1t ts his hired agents among the dependents of the old régime and his numerous volunteers among the clergy who in Sicily and the Neapolitan provinces strive assiduously to fan the embers of discontent into a flame, which if ever kindled will be quickly quenched in the blogd of the poor tools who allow themselves to be carried so far, That some such mad rising may take place tn Sicily ts only too probable, as there the elements. for it are most abundant. The present Italian administration may be unsatis- factory euough in some respects, but what would Naples gain by the restoration of Bourbon rule? Let the history of the Two Sicilles answer, or let us look at the system working nodeMbur eyes in the happy realm of the most Catho- lic Isabella, Some Neapolitan peasants—most prob- ably escaped brigands or deseriers from ‘the con- scription—have sately found their way to Rome and made touching offers of devotion to their former soveretgn—for a consideration.

NEWPORT. Newronrt, R.I., July 10, 1868. The past three weeks of hot weather has made a great difference in the population of this.city, There are new arrivals daily, and the geason ts fully com- menced. The hotels are all opened and have as many guests 98 usual at this time. More cottages have been rented than ever before, one agent alone reporting one hundred and fifty houses let by him- self up to this time, “At present there is but one house to let on the avenue, though very fine places can be obtained om the courts and avenue lead- ing from it. The cottages bring more than ever be- fore, some letting as high as $4,000 for the season, which is pretty fair house rent for three months. Among the New Yorkers here I notice the names of H. T. Tuckerman; the poet, E. B. Willet; Wm. Mackey, Stuyvesant Le Roy, Newbold Edgar, G. P. Wetmore, Paran, Stevens, R. L. Maitland, R. M. Hunt, Daniel Fearing and others; also Mrs. Augifst Belmont and Mrs. George Francis Train, with their families. Mr. Belmont himself is expected, but as George Francis’ movements are rather uncertain, his coming is not much depended upon. All ofthese gentlemen own places here, come early, stay late, identify themselves with the interests of the city, and, with many others, are looked upon by the citizens almost as Newporters. Among the foreigners are Count Rasen, of Stockholm, Commander Swedish royal navy; Baron Osten Sachen, Consul General of Russia, and Baron Wescisstitte. To avoid tue rush on the Sound boats, which the low fares have occasioned, several families have chartered steamers for the express purpose of bring- ing them here from New York, in one case paying as high as one thousand doilars for three persons, ‘The present 1udications are that the scason will be very gay, and more people {han ever are expected. It is conceded by ali tourists and pleasure seekers that Newport stands at tue head of the list of sum- mer resorts, ‘Certainly there can be no butter place to pass the heated term. The beach, avenue, harbor, drives, &c., are not to be surpassed at any watering place.’ Better facilities for boating and sallingcan-. not be found in America, and, above all, the chuinate is thé most invigorating and salubrious on this coast. ‘The air is soit and baimy and the nights always cool and comfortabie, owing to the refreshing sea breeze which comes up every afternoon, ‘The city presents now a very fine and pleasant ap- bone The grounds are in exccileut order; the jaws 100k fresli and green, dotted with urus and rustic vases overtiowing with plants, The piazzes are filled with hanging baskets und there is a proiu- siomof flowers everywhere, While the croquet par. ties—the ladies in thelr.dainty costames—euliven the gcenernd rake the place look just what itis, a charming summer retreat.

Schueider’s orchestra from New York commences an engagement at Lhe Atlantic House Lext week, re- maining trough the season. There is also a first class band at Fort Adains, which can be heard in the city quite distinctly when the wind is in the right direction, bs . It is rumored that a New York gentleman has pur- chased a piace here ior the purpose of converting it into a race course. Whether there is any wath in the report or not I cannot say; if true, tt will be something entirely new for Newport, as there has never been anything of the kind here. A statue Is to be erected here in Touro Park by August Belmont in honor of Commodore M. C. Perry, who secured the treaty between Japan and. this country. It is to be a very fine thing bronze, fif- teen feet high, standing on a base of granite seven feet; thetwhole to cost twenty thousand dollars, It will be an ornament to the park and as a work of art will surpass anytung of the tind in tie city. SUMMER RESORTS IN VIRGINIA. Ricamonp, Va., July 9, 1368, The heat here for the last ten days has been abeo- lutely intolerable, and has resalted in much sick- ness. A wet handherchief-in one hand and a palm Jeaf fan in tue other are the accoutrements of all pe- destriang who venture upon the streets. The ther- mowmeter has ranged from ninety to one hundred de- grees. In consequence of this intense temperature all who are able are leaving the city for the country and various watering places. Thé strects in the so- cial and fashionabie portions of the city are comp@ra- tvely degerted. The mountains and seacoast of Virginia will pre- sent this summer a throng of visitors and scenes of festivity unequalied since the beginning of the war. The mountain retreats, so celebrated in the past bis- tory of the fashion, brtiliancy and weaith of the country, after beiug for: eight years deserted, will again ring with the music of the dance, the laaghier of distinguivi@d beauty, and echo to.the moonlight songs of the operas. The refreshing shade, magic waters and landscapes of boundless grandeur and beauty of the Virginia springs were in days past alike the hope of the invalid and the foy of pleasure seeking beau and belie. Before the whistle of a steam engine had started the echoes of the mountains. Presidents of tle United states, Senators and distinguished people of both sexes and of. all parties stayed it from Washington to the White Sulphur, the Sweet, the Alum and the various otNer noted springs. The war, however, played havoc with them all, Their magnificent and exten- sive buildings aud costly and beautiful grounds were given up to the dogs of war. The cavalry of both armies, from time to time, occupied them, and rack and ruin was the consequence, But since the con- clusion of the confliet they have arisen from their ashes, like a bright feathered phoenix, whose bril- Hance attracts the votaries of enjoyment from all sections of the continent. T regard to the seacoast, it may be said that it ts somewhat remarkable that with all her advantages Virginia has never had a first class watering place. O14 Point Comfort was, Y bY the war, uite popular with the beaw monde of Maryland and Lh oer] but the war served it somewhat rudely, and the halls that for years had been the home of gleeful voice and whispered flirtations were given over to the clangor of arms, Venus surrendered to Mars, and Old Point ts no longer knowa among the water- Revels, nowever, & Watering Jace just about the centre of the Vi ia coast, pisc® das in the few with bet lane and North Caro course of @ history. antages: that nature has bestowed upon it every food, fish and fowl that is known to, salt wat Oyster# retain their flavor all hordes oe ud ‘rithout the slightest diMcul 0 caugl ‘The vj ry of the bird hunting is wonderful and e: citing.
