Eee suddenly acquiring @ fortune and returring home to spend it, It is so with the hatives of Great Britain who go to her East India and provincial possessions ; so with those of France who emigrate to her colonial possessions; with those of Spain who go to her colonies, and es- pecially to the beautiful and bountiful island of Cuba; in short, it is so with nearly all natives of old countries who transplant themselves from one flag on one hemisphere to the same flag covering a dependency on the other. But vith the great mass of foreign emigrants to the United States—the Irish, Germans, Scotch, ‘Welsh, some French and a few English and Italians—they come here to stay, or, after realiz- ing competencies, revisit the land of their birth, not to squander their wealth there, but just to fet the old folks at home understand how con- tented, happy and prosperous, how independ- ent and politically influential they are in the Jand of their adoption. With this balance sheet we are glad to see so many steam- ships leaving this port for Europe crowded with passengers; for we are conscious that but very few foreign born citizens who have ‘boon successful here revisit the Old Country for ‘he purpose of remaining there, or for the pur- pose of treacherously undermining and belit- tling this. This is a system of incomes and outgoes in which the American republic is not to lose, but, on the contrary, is likely to gain much in the estimation of Europeans in all well informed circles. Every true adopted citizen who goes abroad on a summer pleasure trip is simply a perambulating advertisement of the advantages of this country end of the blessings of a republican form of government. VaLoorrepE has thrown a great many gal- lant riders, and now is to be himself thrown aside, Tug Ngws FRoM MeExico.—The corres- pondence from the city of Mexico and Matamoros which we publish to-day, gives an interesting review of the positions of parties in that republic. It is evident that Mexico is about entering upon a bitterly contested canvass and election, and if the government makes use of the appliances usual there to cause the returns to result in its favor a widespread attempt at revolution will be the result. No improvement is ex- hibited in the condition of the country, and the grant of extraordinary powers to President Juarez, which makes him the actual dictator, is giving great dissatisfaction. That singular phase of social decay, the practice of kidnap- ‘ping persons of wealth and taking them to the mountains until ransomed, continues to ex- tend, and it is now stated that even children three years of age are taken in this way. In Tamaulipas the rebels are continuing their advances unchecked, and the letters from there give slight hope of the pacification of the country. YACHTING. The Commodore of the New York Yacht Club has just received a letcer from Mr. Benjamin Moran, Secretary of Legation at London, enclosing a neat ‘schedule which embraces the name of every yacht, ‘where belonging, her tonnage, rig, and also the mame of every owner of a yacht comprising the “Royal Western Yacht Club” of England, of which the Hon.

Sir Francis Head, formerly Governor General of Canada, has sent @ letter to the Zimes, enclosing his correspondence with Secretary Marcy arising out of the Canadian rebellion in 1837, Sir Francis, tn his letter, argues that if the United States was in the wrong at that time, then England has dormant claims for apology and compensation, though they have been long ago overlooked and forgotten, If the United States was right, then he supmits to the good sense and good feeling of the Americans the logical, moral and political impossibility of now re- fasing a reply for the Queen’s neutrality proclama- tuon similar to that which they gave themselves in 1837, He calls attention to the fact that England was the only country in Europe which pledged her- self by proclamation to remain neutral in the late war, and concludes with a promise to reply ina second letter to Mr. Sumner’s complaints of the as- sistance rendered by England to the Confederates. Mr. Forster, Vice President of the Council, in an address to his constitutents, opposed the views put forward by Mr. Sumner in his speech on the Ala- bama claims. He said the government could not be held responsible for the offensive acts of individu- als. It had strained the jaw in favor of the United States in stopping the rams. England was prepared to pay for the mistake in the case of the Alabama on due arbitration. He considered concession be- yond a certain point would be crime, but ended by declaring that he felt assured that war would never occur between England and America. SPAIN. Discussions in the Cortee—Talk and No Action. MADRID, May 21, 1869, The debate on the future form of government for the country was continued in the Constituent Cortes yesterday. Admiral Topete, the Minister of Marine, spoke moderately, though at considerable length, mainly in reply to Castellar, who had made a power- ful speech in favor of a republic the day before, Topete in Favor of Montpensier for the ‘Throne—Paseage of Two Articles of the Constitution, em gr he Manprtp, May 21, 1860, In his reply to Sefior Castellar's speech, Admiral Topete declared that he was opposed to the restora- tion of Queen Isabeila, He thought the elevation of the Duke de Montpensier to the throne was desira- ble, but said, as ®@ member of the Cabinet, he should strictly subordinate his action to the policy of the Prime Minister and Minister of War, who, with nim- self and all the other members of the Ministry, awaited the decision of the Cortes for their guidance, He concluded by advising the Cortes to take care that no daring man cut the knot which they were unable to untie. Article thirty-two of the constitution, declaring that “all powers emanate from the nation,” was adopted by the Cortes to-day by acclamation. Article 33, declaring that “the form of govern- ment of the Spanish nation is the monarchy,” was Passed after a protracted debate, by a vote of 214 aflirmatives to 70 negatives. IRELAND.

WILLIAM J. COLEMAN, President, The Committee on Direct Trade made an amended report, meeting the objectionable clause discrimi- nating in favor of Norfolk and endorsing the airect trade schemes inaugurated at other Southern ports; and the report was unanimously adopted. The Committee on Finances and Banking reported resolutions:—*That the conventioa recommend and urge Congress to 80 amend the National Banking laws as to give the Southern and Western States a fair and equitable proportion of banking capital and circulation, either by redistribution or an increase, as their wisdom may determine.” Resolved, That the convention tavor the reduction of the interest on'the national debt by any means consistent with the faithful discharge of the obligations of the government to ra. the public ere:tttor Resolved, That the Convention recommend the Lezis- latures of the various States to repeal all usury or other the validity of contracts, that Jaws which tend to im capital seeking iavestments may be rendered more secure, Various resolutions and amendments were offered, but were voted down. General Duif Green read an elaborate memorial on the subject, which was re- ferred to the standing committee. The Committee on Manuiactures and Mining re- ported in favor of recommending the Legisla.ures of the various states to encourage manufactures by the enactment of laws freeing the capital imvested in mn and manuiactures from taxation, thus inviting the world to best its capital and put it to work to develop our internal resources, Congress to exempt from duty the machinery for the manuiac- ture of raw material. On the subject of mining the committee asks further time to prepare a report. The Committee on Agriculture and general busi- ness reported in favor of publishing the preliminary bc of Commodore Maury on the physical survey of Virginia; also for the appointment of a committee of three from each State to solicit aid for that pur- ; also fora committee of five to memorialize ngreas to aid the plans for connecting various rivers, a8 suggested by Commodore Maury, and that said committee also collect all statistics on this sub- Het, and present the report to the next convention. ‘ne ‘was adopt le for the appointment of a standing committee of uve to me- mortalize on subjects endorsed by the Con- vention, and not referred to a special committee, which was adopted; also for a committee of five to correspond with the Board of Trade at Manchester, England, on the subject of cotton culture, which was pce also that ‘ser nero poo a] si YY grain movement augurated pe- tween St. Louis and Liverpool a New Orleans, which was adopted.

AMUSEWENTS. GRAND Orera House.—Tie fifty-firat and final performance of ‘The mpest”’ was given at suis house last night before one of the most brilliant audiences of tue season, The tempest which raged with dampeuing effect without did not prevent ‘Tne Tempest’ within from raging with all the splendors of scenic and other effets, with which its great author evidently intended it should be clothed. The piece has occupied the boards for seven weeks and has served the great purpose of marking an era in Shakspearian revivals if it has done nothing else, It was fitting, too, that it should close its career in a tempest of another sort, and it was also fitting that “The Tempest” of the diving William sould end its last magai- ficent flurries to the tune of the appreciative plaudits of a large and admiring audience. The merits of the production have already been com- mooted upon: 2 rompine but to be said that ce rep! ion last night passed off very agreeably ana was liberally appiauded, the Morlaceut ba let especially so. Since the first production of the plece the part of Prospero has been filled by three differ- ent representatives—originally by Mr. E. L. Daven- ‘Wards by Mr. Neil Warren, and dinally by james Carden. The theatre will remain closed this afternoon and evening for the complete rehearsing of Sardou’s new play of “atrie,”” which 1s to be pro- duced without fail on Monday, trem the original French models and designs, Its cast will include Messrs. C. W. Couldock, George H. Clarke, Frank Mayo, Mrs. Gladstone and hrs. Stetson, in addition to the reguiar coimpany. Masical and Theatrical Notes. The following matinées are announced for to- Caste,” at Wallack’s; “Wild Oats,” at “The Forty Thieves,” at Niblo’s; ‘The Her- ‘mit’s Bell,” at the Fifth avenue theatre ; “Robinson Crusoe,” at Wood's Museum; “Hiccory Diccory Dock,” at the Olympic ; “Kobingon Crusoe,” at the ‘Tammany ; ‘Piuto,” at the Theatre Comique ; “Pyg- malion,” at the Waverley ; “Stage Struck,’’ at Tony Pastor's Opera House, and negro minstreisy at Hooley’s, Brooklyn. Professor Risley’s troupe of original Japanese, in- cluding the wonderful little “All Right,’’ remain but for a few more nights at the Stadt theatre, to delight our appreciative gymnastic German citizens with their celestial tricks and tumbling. On Thurs- day next they open at the Acedonoy of Music in Brooxlyn, where they will evidently show the pious denizens of the ‘Heights’ something new in the way of moral gymnastics. The numerous faults, drawbacks and shortcomings of the new pantomime at the Olympic having been pomted out to the management, Mr. George L. Fox, Who 1s author, clown and manager of the piece, has set to work in downright earnest to remedy its de- fects, which were pointed out to him by the HEsALD, and 1s endeavoring, so far as possibie, to make the new pantomime worthy of his name and fame. The ballet has been curtailed in ite painful and tiresome hoppings, and consequently is now quite enjoyable. ‘The stupid bear has received his quietus, the useless band of singers have aeparted silently from behind the wings, aad the irreverent harangue by Mr. Fox, in the court room scene, has been discontinued, in short, the court room scene entire has been cut out of the piece, which, itis almost needless to say, 18 thereby much improved. Notwithstanding tus praiseworthy “reconstruction” of the pantomime there yet remain a few improvements to be made in i before it can be termed worthy of the genius of the inimitable Fox. Furnish the funny giant with a more robust wife, let us have less talking in the giant's castie, and by all means let us have some- thing more refreshing from the orchestra. The Kuiralfy troupe of Hungarian grotesque dancers and pantomimic combination are expected to arrive in this city next week. Tuis troupe, wiica consists of twelve persons, were originaliy intended for the pantomime of “Robinson Crusoe,” now on the boards at Wood’s Museum; but the indomitable Coiville has effected an arrangement with the man- agement of the eg theatre by which the troupe in question is to imtroduced to the New York public through the medium of “KHiccory ecte § Dock,” the new pantomime now being per- formed at the Olympic. This will materially im- prove the ballet at the theatre above named, and will, doubtless, prove an attractive feature to tue piece, i We are to be favored with Italian opera next season in an unadulterated manner. At least such are the promises made to us by Impresario Mitchell, of London, who contempiates inaugurati aeeaann of Italian opera on a grand scale early in tall the Academy of Music in this city. Mlle. Titiens, Mr. Santiey and @ number of other well known operatic stars have already been by Mr. itchell to come to this country for that purpose; and ifthe manager will bus give us someshing, when the time comes, m the .way of grand opera which can really be termed meritorious, and if he will bi with him only first class ese there isnot the htest doubt that be will fin that the American people are both willing and abie vo support and appreciate Italian opera when thus ted to them.

Notwithstanding the inclement state of the weather the attendance was fair, the room being well filled. A ek of the persons presen however, were ut spec. tators, the number of purchasers being soime- what limited. The pictures offered were, as on the first night, mainly the works of Duich ana French artists, with a few paintings by English and Flemish painters, The quality of the various works Was somewhat uneven, some being very excellent, wiule otbers were, at the best, but of a mediocre character, As is general at auction sales some of the lots offeted realized as much as they were worth, while others were disposed of much below their value. Some of the least meritorious patnt- ings realized the best prices, the better ones going at a reasonable figure. Two or three of the more valuable lots were withdrawn, the prices offered not approaching in any way near their cost price.

Le was the son of @ generai in the service of the East India Company, and was born in Edinburg on the 20th of June, 1798, After graduating from Exeter College, Oxford, he entered the Church and served as curate in several provincial towas until 1827, when he moved to London, flere he engaged in literary pursuits and soon became known a8 a writer of merit. Among the earliest of bis works were “Specimens of the British Poetesses’? and one edl- tion of the poet Collins, Ata later date he edited, with notes and biographies, the dramatic and poeti- cal works of severai authors, including Beaumont, Fletcher and Mariow@. Gifford’s unfinished edition of Shirley was also completed by Dr. Dyce. Tne work which establisied lis reputation, however, was his edition of “shakspeare,” which was first pebiienea in 1857, and was received with marked favor by the press and public. “Kecoilections of the Tale ‘Talk of Samael rs,” another of his works, js well known in the United States, where it has been reprinted and largely circulated. At the time of bis ith Dr. Dyce was employed on a translation from the Greek of “Athenwus,” aud had: just pub- lished @ new edition of “Shakspeare.”” “Aithot Not @ brilliant writer, the literary productions of the deceased were distinguished for the care and thought bestowed upon every subject and for the clearness with which each idea was expressed, We bi meg that, in a great measure, Leap orange possessed rested upon the indus’ judgment which enabied him to furnish correct ographies of early writers and to fairly determine the true test of their works, Dr. Dyce was in the seventy-tirat year of his age. TUE TWENTY-SECOND REGIMENT, N. G. Visit co Sing Sing—Target Practice—Bad Weather but a Gorgeous Time. Sing Sing had a genuine sensation yesterday. The Pleasant militia regiment, the Twenty-second, of this city, visited the village on the hills up the Hudson for @ day of pleasure, target exersise, reunion, to receive a stand of colors and to be séled, Well was the programme carried out. Despite the violent, imauspicious storm, which began just as the regi- ment, after trooping over the hills toward the park selected for shooting practice, arrived, the day will long be regarded in the same sense by the members as the Arabs used to designate their fortunate occa- sions—‘“‘white stone, lucky day.’’ The regiment met at their armory betimes in the morning. At seven o'clock sharp there had re- ported for the different companies to the command: ing officers the following numbers:—A, Lieutenant Frankun, 25; B, Captain Cullen, 46; C, Captain Tate, 40; D, Captain Vose, 35; E, Captain Besson, 33; F, Captain Clanrandall, 38; G, Lieutenant Commiskey, 25; H, Lieutenant Van Schaick, 23; I, Captala Brown, 24. - ‘They journeyed thence in a boat up the gorgeous river of the North, but it was quite noon betore they arrived at the dock. ‘The village was out in its holiday attire. Military schools, young ladies’ seminaries and all the pupils of the Many educational institutes had a vacation day, and they meant to make merry, and they did. The sun shone at this time and nad hitherw. The elements were as bright as the weicome of President Naxon and his board of trustees, composing the Tank and file of the village wealth. The prizes were many, seven in number, appro- priate and wortny of Deine received by the gentle- men of the regiment. They were—First, gold mounted rife, Winchester repeating, by Colonel Remmes; second and third, gold medals, by the Board of Oiicers; tourth, do., by Captain Vose; fifth, do., by Lieutenant Austin; sixth, full dress uniform, by Quarvermaster Rogers; seventh, do., by Lieutenant Colonel Porter. Tne steamboat finally arrived at the wharf, and the regiment was greeted most kindly by the im- mense concourse of people that had long watted pa- tiently their arrival. They were escorted by the Mount Pleasant Cadets, under Major Churchill; ca- dets of Major Holbrook's military school, Washing- ton Engine No. 1, Protection Engine No. 3, Protec- tion Hose No. 3 and Ossii Hose No.1, these being followed by contatning the village oficiais and the guests of the regiment, of whom there were quite a number. Thus escorted the regi- ment took up its line of march through the streets of the village, ‘over hill and dale,” followed to a large extent by the citizens, and arrived at the grounds laid out for target a. Hoag's iarm. ‘They are pleasantly siti ona h bluff over- looking the Hudson, and specially adapted to the uses to which they were put. Targets about afoot square had previously been erected on an adjoming and rifle-pits dug, but some little delay was experienced in the com- mencement of firing, on account of the quan- tity of water that had lodged in the pits. Tais difficulty was soon overcome by the use of the “bailer,” and the companes took w their positions opposite the targets, of whic! there Were nine in number. At about this time rain began, which had the e7fect of dampening the other- wise bright prospects of the command. Nevertheless the ammunition was distributed to the ts of each company, and amid the rain the shooting began, the companies joading and firing at will, and the dis- tance being 200 yaras. This plan was adopted by the judges, Lieutenant OColonei Porter, Major Camp and ex-Captain Brugate. ‘The ay of these shots, each member three trials, 1s as follows:— Company A.—Anderson, 8; Anderson, 3; W: j Cunntugham, 8; H.

The same Pulmonio Syrup and Mandrake Pills that renewed hia iease of itfe are dving the same thing daily for scores of others. A man like Dr. Schenck, whose per: afflictions forced him to the study of diseased vital o1 cannot fail to be qualified to pronounce upon the curabillty Of these diseases when fastened upon others. He palpabiy proves that one-half the cases treated as consumption con- aist of an entirely different malady, and that doctors are druzging away at the respiratory Orzans of the suifer:rs when the seat of the dis ase is actus lvin the liver.
