Opinion of the Abyssinian Victory—Engiand’s War Principle and Pewer. {From the St. Petersnnng Birjeviya Vedomosti, duly 1}. ‘The Anyssinian war places English foreign policy ‘in astriking light. Bold and energetic asfever, the statesmen Who planned the expedition have been ! amply rewarded for their venture and will derive the greatest possible advantage from the millions in- Without desiring to write a panegyric on English policy we yet cannot help acknowledging that it is based upon a true conception of the in- terest of their country and carried on with unremit- ting assiduity to promote the object in view. Of late England has been often reproached with apathy and indifference to current events, Her ony of non- interference, people were in the habit of assuring each other, had lost her the influence formerly pos- sessed on the Continent. But England’s centre of gravity no longer lies in Europe. ‘hat she exercises closest vigilance over the interests she has really at heart is suMciently manifest from the history of ber colonies, and also from the present war, which many ‘among us a short time ago were fain to regard as a | sort of British eccentricity. In invading Abyssinia England well knew what she was about. Although certainly provoked by King Theodore, she svailed herself of the opportunity to strengthen her some- what Geclliiing esas in Eastern Africa, and suc- ceeded. The battle of Magdala will be an effectual set-off to French preponderance, so greatly in the ascendant in those parts since the commencement of the Suez Canal. The Abyssinian expedition affords an instructive lesson to the other Powers. We are perfectly convinced that England, were any of her vital interests violated by European States, would act as resolutely as in this African cumouty. English policy has always been disting ed by a clear notion of the real wants of the coun- try and the immediate aims to be striven for. It 1s tor this reason that England, as a rule, is 80 unwilling to meddle with the aifairs of other States and to interfere in the complicated questions called European. With her own concerns fully occu- pying her, she is not very apt tobe enthustastic about “ideas,” or to aspire to a prestige which does not produce substantial advantages, She does nothing for the sake of appearances; but is ever ready to sacrifice her millions and pour out the blood of her sons when something worth having is at stake. English policy, both internal and external, is based upon a system established some hundred years ago, and perfectly independent of the men who may temporarily compose the govern- ment. To this consistency England, com- paratively weak though she is in a mili- | tary point of view, is indebted for her position at ) the head of the civilized world, The very reserve which she practices in her relations to other States nd the methodical rigor with which she adheres to ar system enable her in an emergency to sway the decision of most of the questions agitating the world, | British Reception of the Russian Compliment.

Guildhall, London, is rather an antiquated place for the new fashions started there at ap important city meeting this week. It appears the Lord Mayor gathered up his garments and departed with a gusto which few who wear robes can hope to imitate. He preferred this dignified conclusion to his natural Instinct, which was evidently prompting him all the time to turn up his shirt sleeves and give Mr. Beales some bodily oratory. The fastrions of the “ring” were so nigh becoming political fashions in the same august assembly, and boots were 80 strikingly getting the ascendant that your corre- spondent could not well refrain from hinting on the new style of parliamentary manners among the tories, Aldermen with placards on their stomachs are not, I hope, to cause a revival of heavy jet belts on ladies who are not old women. These placards are no more elegant than the spring bell which the mandarin Tien Tien wears on his abdomen in the comedy called “Fleur de The,” and wich he honors with the name of timbre deUEiat, Every thine the bulky old sinner laughs the bell tingles, the State, of course, swells up at very pulsation, ‘This course of ideas leads me to mention tue jewels showered down on the genuine “Grande Duchesse de Gerolstein,” now in London, were the jewellers have had more orders this season than on any other, it is prepamed, for the sublimest expreasiin of admira- ion must be diamonds. Mlle. Schneider's spasmodic kick, her sharp cut of the whip across poor #aum’s waistcoat, and her knowing winks, are the sources ofthe wealth of exotic gardeners and indigenous lapidaries in all great capitals. A lady who cannot kick, wink and whisk at one of the theatres is a bad sign for nursery gardens and jewel stores. ‘Nothing costly enough in the shape of Indian tissues, Lyons devices, Alengon laces, can be found for the following stars, who are all going to marry:—Mlle. Blanche Pierson, Mile. Rose Marie, Mile. Andrea and Mile. Patti. The latter is to become Marquise de Caux on the ist of August by the most gracious pe: mission of his serene arbitrator, Mr. Strakosch, May this much contended topic be the last heard of it, Bankers who have let jewelled butterflies hover all over the diva from their prodigal hands can now lock up their safes. La comédie est jouce, Another fashionable rumor is that Mile. Nilason 1s beg te to an Englishman, and Paris is in mourning for Finette, who has gone to show the “French national dance, Le Cancan,” to boyards, who will crush rubies to mix in her Moselle. ‘This is all very sparkling, alas! but Paris is emptying. If a real queen does come here she comes incognita, as did the young sovereign of Portugal last week. She remained long enough only to purchase some lovely foulards and ae muslins, with lace in- sertions, then proceeded to the Chateau de Meudon with her sister, the Princess Clothilde. We must be pooriy off for news to have to notice that M. Giais- jizoin went to Mabille and was accused of this rivate act by the papers as soon as he woke up the following morning. The big wall which has beea raised to prevent journalists from prying into the bles life of “great” individuals does not seem to quite high enough. As soon aaa member of the majority turns into Mabille, there it 1s blabbered out on the plea that Mabille is public life. By the way, Louise, the heroine who danced the cancan on M. Mabille’s kettledrums, is only exiled to Asuicres. ‘That locality in perpetual yachting gear is much excited about the regatta which is to take place on the 2ist of July between Havre and Cherbourg. Sport is languid, though the meeting at Fontaine- bleau last Sunday was an improvement on tue pre- vious one.

Manager Bateman inaugurates the second seasow of opéra bouge in this city to-morrow evening ab Niblo’s Garden, Having digested the “Duchess!? and “Helen,” we are now to have “Biue Beard,’? which 18 said to be a litte stronger Uhan any other of Offendach’s works, and, as a natural consequence, we shall soon expect to hear the whole town, or rather what there is left of it, whistling or humming the light and sparkling airs from “Barbe Bleue? as is now the prevailing fashion with the solos, duets and choruses pur- joined from “La Grande Duchess,” “La belle Héléne,” and “Orphée aux Enfers.” Mr. Bareman ig determined to make the coming season of opera doug in this city superior in every respect to the one that preceded it, and with this object in view) has selected with much care and at an im~ mense expense a company of musical and dramatic artists that was pronounced, before it left France, by French critics, to he fully equal and in some re- spects better than the one performing at the Va- riétés theatre, Paris. Knowing full well that the New York public would expect an improvement upon his first effort, which they supported in such aiiberal manner, Mr. Bateman has spared neither trouble nor expense in collecting such talent, both male and female, as could be induced, by large sala~ ries, to come to this country. Several of the leading artists are old favorites in this city, and all of the new ones come well recommended and occupy lead- ing positions in their prof ession, Conspicuous among the new additions stands Mile, ima, tne original Cendrillon at the Chatelet, Paris, and who in the part of Boulotte, in “Barbe Bleue,” ‘set the French caplial in ecstacies for one hundred consecutive nights. She is aaid to possess & beautiful face and figure, in addition to a charming voice. The other leading members of the company are Mile, Lambelé, Mie. Jeanne Duclos, Mile. Rose, and Messrs Aujac, Dardignac and Guidon, tenors. Mile. Tostée wilt return from Europe early next | month, and will immediately make her renéree before. the public at Niblo’s Garden, With the attractions! of the new artists, the new costumes imported ex~ preasly for the occasion, and the new scenery, the coming season of opera bouffe promises to be & mos’ auspicious one at this establisyment. Besides the irrepressible Bateman we shave two more Richmonds in the field of opera bouge in the persons of Grau and Pike, Mr. Grau is at present, busily engaged in improving the general appearance! of the French theatre, wh.ch will be opened early im the season with a combination of talent, which has, been imported into this city from Europe for the ex~ press purpose of electrifying staid New Yorkers with the dainty and delicious nonsense of Offer r.

She is said to be an accom~ plished act young, good looking, and a dashing, ! spirited Grand Duchess. Monsieur Carrier comes to us endorsed by the best critics of Paris, and is said to be a first class actor and possessed of a magi nificent voice. The following operas bowse will be: brought out at the French theatre by Manager Grau} during the seasoi “La Grande Duchesse,”” Belle Héléne,” “Le Pont des Soupirs,” “Barbe; Bleue,” “Fleur de Thé,” “Genevieve de Bral ant,’ | &c.

An electrical organ was recently inaugurated in the Chureh of St. Auguctin, Paria, a short description of which may be interesting. A single wire passing from the key to an clectro-magnet communicates tet it a galvanic current, thus obviating the old system of the long chain of wooden #lips called trackers that required such hard thumping to cause them (o move prompuy. This electro-magnet, by means of a smal! valve, Works the pneumatic lever, Which consists of 4 sort of bellows placed just under the wind valve of: the pipe. These wires form a small bundle easily grasped by one hand, They supersede the whole system of trackers, give greater durability to the instrument and a lightness and equality of touch, which all organiste cap appreciate. Apart from this novelty of detail the St. Augustin organ, like its elder brother at St. Eustache, is distinguished by an exquisite beauty and parity of tone, particularly in those fancy stope (such asthe hautboy, clarionet, bassoon, flute har! monique) which imitate instruments in the orchestrw with a@ fidelity hitherto unattained.
