The Empress Eugenie—Significance of Her Eastern Pilgrimage. All the historical accounts of famous royal pilgrimages are eclipsed by that of the Empress Eugénie to Constantinople. Nothing of the kind in ancient or modern times exceeds the splendor of the reception of this royal lady by the Sultan—no, not even the reception of the Queen of Sheba by King Solomon—and no similar event in history has been more signifi- cant in an international, a political and social point of view. In reading the graphic descrip- tions of our correspondent at Co stantinople, in the several letters which have been pub- lished in the Heratp, of the arrival of the Empress at the Golden Horn, of the magnifi- cent reception of her by the Sultan, of the gorgeous entertainments, lavish expenditures and brilliant fétes to honor her, and of the enthusiasm of the people, it seems more like the beautiful creation of the imagination than a realily. No dream of the Oriental mind ever revelled in scenes more grand and poetic. The gorgeous Arabian Nights tales are dimmed in comparison. Yet it is all real. Every word is historically true. Every circumstance or incident connected with the visit of the Empress to Constantinople is full of interest and suggestive of great ideas bearing upoa the present remarkable age and the future, All the events are particularly in harmony with the progress and spirit of the times, with the commanding position of the Emperor Napoleon, with the charming charac- ter and influence of Eugénie, with the noble and liberal Sultan of Turkey and with the famous historical and poetic spot where they transpired, In the days of ancient chivalry and great wars between Europe and Asia— between Christendom and Mohammedanism— this was the battle ground. In more modern times it has been a constant subject of dispute and jealousy among the great nations. It has been the seat of mighty empires, and from its position on the confines of Europe and Asia it dominated both continents. The site of Con- stantinople and the command of the Bosphorus and Dardenelles in the hands of a great and ambitious nation in modern times would place toa great extent both Europe and Asia at the mercy of such a Power. The Czars of Russia saw this and had thelr eyes con- stantly fixed on that spot, and their policy always directed to the acquisition of it. The most terrible conflict of the age, and, perhaps, in history, that of the Crimean war, arose for the possession of Con- stantinople on the part of Russia, and for the defence and preservation of it under the rule of Turkey on the part of allied Europe. But all the chivalry that surrounded this famous historical ground in early times, all the great wars that have been fought there or in connec- tion with it, and all the poetry and romance associated with it do not exceed in interest and significance this event of the Empress Eugénie’s voyage to Constantinople and the chivalry displayed by the Sultan. Our correspondent says when the Empress took leave of the Sultan on board of her own steamer, and when his Majesty pressed her hand for the last time and bade her farewell, she was deeply affected and tears filled her eyes. How beautiful was this! And how natural. Though she is the most exalted lady in the world and fills a larger space in the eyes of the world than any other, she has all the fine sensibilities of a woman's nature, The chivalry of the Sultan, the generous and easy, though respectful bearing of all toward her, and the exclamations of delight from the people wherever she went sunk deep into her heart, Never will she think of the thrilling scene when she went up the Bosphorus to the ‘Valley of Heavenly Waters” without emotion, for there she was greeted with admiration and warmth of feeling by the crowds of people and elegant ladies of the highest families in Turkey. As she mingled with and moved slowly about among them they assembled round her and exclaimed, ‘‘Mashallah! Mashallah!” How beautiful! How beautiful!” How could this charming woman help being touched on leaving when she remembered this. Then a new world was opened to her—a world that inspired her fine imagination, aroused her womanly sympathies and laid open to her sensitive mind a wonderful future, of which she had in that very visit become an important instrument. We cannot yet realize the surprising effect the voyage of Eugénie to Constantinople and the East must have upon the social and politi- cal condition of Turkey, aa well as upon the policy of France and Europe generally with regard to the Turkish empire and questions affecting the East. The barriers of exclu- siveness and religious prejudice which had existed for ages and had made Mohammedans and Christians hate each other were partially broken down when the Sultan visited Paris; but this visit of the Empress has shaken them to the very foundation. When the Sultan gave his arm to Eugénie and cordially pressed her hand in the presence of the most bigoted Mohammedans, and the Turkish people exclaimed, in admiration, ‘Bravo, our noble sovereign!” the night of centuries of dark prejudice and igno- rance was swept away. From that moment a new age was opened, and the world made extraordinary strides to a better and happier state, It was the opening of that seal when the millennium should commence— when the religious prejudices and intolerance of all the nations of the earth shall be broken down and the purest and best religion become universal, But the influence this visit will have also upon the political status and rela- tions of Turkey, as well as upon the East generally, will be very great, No eyent—no, not even the war of the Crimea—can do more QQUsT O6 F. Lanahan, of Tunes: w. w. [to swongthen the Turkish empire and to aive it a powerful impulse in the way of modern progress and civilization. Egypt, through the influence of the Suez Canal, may, in time, become an independent nation or empire; but the Turkish empire, apart from that, is safe and may expand. — Still, the personal influence of the Empress, the Emperor Napo- leon and the Sultan, and even the influence of the great Powers upon the mighty social and political changes that are taking place, are subordinate to those other great instrumentali- ties of the age—the magnetic telegraph, the press and steam power. These are they, in fact, that are revolutionizing the world; and individuals, no matter how great or distin- guished, are impelled by them. Of all the remarkable persons of the age, however, there is none, perhaps, destined to exercise a greater Influence, both in social life and the political future, than the Empress Eugénie. Tue West Indian Naval Expedition=Spain aud Cuba. A formidable squadron of United States war ships—first class monitors, steam frigates, &c.—will soon be gathered in the West Indies. It will embrace the Dictator, the Miantonomoh, the Swatara, the Nantucket, the Severn, the Yantic, the Albany, the Powbatan, the Semi- nole, the Tuscarora, the Nipsic and the Kan- sas—a force sufficient, as Secretary Robeson has laughingly expressed it, to “blow up the whole Spanish navy.” Some of these vessels are now on the station, others have just gone down, and others will shortly follow. What is the object of this imposing warlike array? We are assured from Washington that it is not intended for the occupation of the black repub- lic of Hayti, or the yellow republic of Domini- ca, or the Bay of Samana, or anything of that sort; but that the design is to have this large force on hand in the West India waters ‘‘to be ready for anything that may turn up, and to act as a naval corps of observation.” The reason assigned for this powerful precautionary movement is that “the administration knows not what a day may bring forth” and is resolved to be prepared for any contingency. We may reasonably infer that things are approaching a crisis in reference to Spain and the island of Cuba. The administration has failed to make any impression upon the gov- ernment at Madrid in behalf of the Cubans. All the approaches of General Sickles to the Regency looking towards Cuban independence have been emphatically repelled. Spain will devote her last ship and her last man to the maintenance of her dominion over the island, She is resolved to subdue or exterminate the Cuban rebels by the bayonet, and they have resolved to expel the Spaniards by fire. We know that the sympathies of General Grant, meantime, are with the Cuban cause; but that he has not been clearly satisfied that, under the law of nations or the constitution, he can, upon his own judgment, concede them belligerent rights. We think it not improbable, however, that he has made up his mind to submit certain recommendations in his annual message to Congress in relation to Cuba, and that, in anticipation of affirmative action upon them by the two houses, he has The Religious Movements of the Time— Presbyterian Union. We have more than once of late had occa- sion to say to our readers that in matters reli- gious the times wore singularly lively. This is true not of one nation, but of all nations. The religious even more than the political questions now command attention. It is not, in our opinion, an unhealthful sign. Our ago is practical beyond any other which the world has known, Reason is imperious and exact- ing. It ignores what the world calls faith. Time was when faith was imperious and intol- erant. To exercise the highest God-given faculty—to think for one’s self—was a sin which merited death, but which death could not expiate. We have advanced since then. Reason now rules. Faith has become the little sister ; but reason is magnanimous. It does not need the help of the stake, the block and the halter, Yet, in spite of the ascend- ancy of reason, the age is not irreligious. We have rationalism, but we have little or no inf- delity. Never were the churches, externally, more prosperous; nor, although religious questions have more deeply and more seriously agitated the minds of men, have they ever commanded an interest so general. We have seen how the Ecumenical Council has filled the world with hope and fear. It has threaiéaed the Catholic Church with division, It has made the Eastern Church indignant, but it bas aroused it from its leth- argy. It has shaken the Protestant world as nothing has shaken it in its whole history. Within the fold of the Catholic Church the action of Father Hyacinthe, the protest of the Fulda Convention, the attitude assumed by Bavaria, by Austria, by Spain, by Italy, and particularly by France, have been sufficiently alarming. In North Germany anti-State Church sentiments have become so powerful that a disruption and the establishment of a vigorous Free Church would not be a sur- prise, In the English Establishment recent movements have more than ever alienated the High Church from the Broad Church party, and the Evangelical or Low Church party looks upon the other two with greater dislike, ifnot with greater horror, By the appoint- ment of Dr. Temple, Head Master of Rugby School, a notorious Broad Church divine, and NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1869.-TRIPLE SHEET, result in Utah as it has ever done elsewhere, There will be Luthers and Zulngliuses and Hyacinthes to disturb the equanimity of the Prophet's state, and mayhap bring the trouble to such a focus that the whole polygamic insti- tution will have to go down before long. This would not be a matter of serious regret to the Gentile world. The abomination should be extinguished by Congress at its next session, whatever may be done in Utah. When the republican party declared, in 1854, against these “twin relics of barbarism,” slavery and polygamy, they forgot the latter in their eager- ness to obtain political capital by wiping out slavery. Having done that effectually, it is time that they should turn their attention to Brigham Young's monstrous doctrine. This may now probably be done without cruelty or the exercise of force. The times in Utah are evidently out of joint, and in the existing divi- sions we may find an opportunity to get rid of the obnoxious polygamic portion of the com- munity by letting them go off to the Sandwich Islands or the Feejee Islands or whitherso- ever they please outside of our territory. The industrious population among the Mor- mons might be retained in the Great Salt Lake valley. They are useful members of the com- munity, who could be made auxiliary to the progress of the vast Western Continent through which the Pacific Railroad is to carry the com- merce of the country between the two oceans. Mormon industry and appreciation of free speech and thought belong to our civilization. Brigham Young’s beastly polygamic system belongs to the Dark Ages, with which we have no sympathy or alliance. Let him begone with it, then, to the Cannibal Islands or the infernal regions, and the sooner the better. Congress has a clear case to act upon in the extermination of this abominable excrescence upon the social and political body, and never was there a better time to act than now, in view of the internal dissensions prevailing among the Mormons themselves. If the offen- sive features of the Mormon creed are not abolished peacefully by Congress the whole race will probably ere long be exterminated by the white settlers and will become scattered and hunted tribes like the red men. The Peabody Obsequies in Westminster one of the authors of “Essays and Reviews,” ‘to the vacant See of Exeter, Mr. Gladstone, while he has shown much wisdom and not a little nerve, and while he has gladdened the hearts of the Broad church- men, has lost many votes both among the Abbey. George Peabody, the American merchant in early days, the London banker in the maturity and the decay of his life, and from first to last the universal benefactor of his kind—a man as cosmopolitan in his charity as he was Puseyites and the Evangelicals. Scotland is busy with grand union movements; and Ire- land is religiously, even more than politically, active. On this Continent and in these United States, so far as religion is concerned, we have the world in miniature. We have the Chinaman with his Joss house, and we have Buddhists from Japan; we have the Mormon and the Free Lover, and the Shaker and others of that genus; we have Jews in numbers, large and ever-increasing; then we have Christians of every name and of all denomina- tions, Nor can it be said that any of those thought it expedient to prepare for a possible rupture with Spain. We cannot believe that General Grant is playing in this naval movement the puerile game of the King of France, who, —with forty thousand men, Marched up the hilt, and then marched down again, On the other hand, when the administration “icnows not what a day may bring forth,” we apprehend there is some ultimatum in view which may bring peace, but which is more likely to bring war. But, after all the general denials at headquarters, may not the real object of this expedition be the occupation, with authority from Congress, of the republic of Dominica on the basis of a treaty of annexa- tion? We were given to understand at the last session of Congress that Dominica was ready to come into the Union, and Hayti, too, and their annexation was actually proposed through the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, We know that during the recess of Congress Baez, President of Dominica, has been kept pretty busy fighting the revolution- ary party of Cabral, and that in Hayti the black dictator Salnave appears to be driven to his last ditch; but as the leading men of all parties and all colors in both divisions of the magnificent island of Hayti are desirous of annexation, we have only to say the word to the de facto governments to secure at any time possession of the whole island, Hence we say that with all the general denials at headquarters of any purpose of occupation of Dominica or Hayti, or any part of elther of those republics, by this great naval expedition, the object is, perhaps, to be on hand for the formal occupation of one or both, in anticipation of the early adoption of a treaty of annexation by the Senate, on the general terms of the annexation of Texas, Since the abolition of slavery and the estab- lishment of civil and political equality in the United States the blacks of Hayti and the mulattoes of Dominica, for their future peace, safety and prosperity, desire annexation, Nor could a more decisive movement for convincing Spain that Cuba is lost to her be adopted than the annexation and occupation of the great neighboring island of Hayti by the United States, At all events we expect that in the forth- coming message of the President to Congress we shall have such recommendations bearing upon both the islands of Cuba and Hayti as will speedily result in establishing the inde- pendence of the one, as a beginning, and the annexation of the other, Two States from the island of Hayti—one from Dominica, the Spanish speaking and mulatto republic, and one from the Haytien, the French and black republic—will have to be organized, and, looking to 1872, they will be quite an acquisi- tion to the party in power at Washington, as will also be the State of Cuba, Tur Custom Hovsg Drawsack Fravps.— Deputy Collector Blatchford’s leave of absence has expired, but he has failed to put in an appearance at the Custom House. Large amounts in false papers on drawbacks signed with his initials are reported against bim, and numerous other parties are said to be plicated in these frauds, running up to seven hundred thousand dollara, But as Judge Pierrepont has the investigation ip hand woe expect that in due time all the material facts. in this ugly business wil be unearthed, are inactive. Our Catholic fellow citizens are now looking eagerly towards Rome; our Episcopal friends are divided between the merits of Puseyism and Evangelicism; our Methodist brethren are in much trouble about the lay element; the Congregationalists go on in their own quiet, noble way. All of these, however, are prospering in numbers and in wealth. The Presbyterians—numerous, power- ful, intelligent, active, but much given to division courses—seem to have turned a new leaf; for allover they are influenced powerfully by union sentiments. On Friday last, at Pitts- burg, there was presented a spectacle which has more than once happened already in the history of Presbyterlanism, but which, it must be admitted, has been too rarely witnessed in the history of Christianity. The Old and New Schools, divided since 1838, have now merged their differences, and become one, The first frujt of this union will be the union in Scotland ofall the Presbyterian churches not dependent on the State for support. The second result will be the union in this country of all the Presbyterian bodies, New and Old, Reformed, United and the rest, Once this second and larger union has taken place, there can be no good reason why the Reformed Dutch Church should not come in and swell the ranks of Presbyterianism. No good man but desires to see a broader union still, What is wanted in all the churches is a simplification of creeds. We are asked to bolieve too much, Let reason be more respected, let Faith take her proper place, and.a united Christendom will cease to be an impossibility. Mormon TroublemA Case for Cone arens. The recent rebellious developments in the dominion of Brigham Young look to be of a more serious character than might have been supposed from the simple defection of a few literary men, who proclaimed their indepen- dence of the Prophet, and are disposed to defy the excommunicative thunders of the Salt Lake Vatican. It is evident, from the current which events are taking in Mormon- dom, that a revolution is seething there, which, if 1t does not lead to an open rupture between Young and his people—threatening, perhaps, an exodus of the chief and his favor- ite followers to the Sandwich Islands or some other haven of refuge—may, at least, sap tho foundations of the Prophet's government and probably materially change the leading prin- ciples of that peculiar religion which has heretofore cemented this extraordinary body of people into a unit, Although the question at issue between President Young and his Trecusant subjects touches not polygamy directly just now, amore dangerous subject, one which lies at the bottom of nearly all rev- olutions which have any vital force—namely, freedom of speech, the right to think and to publish spoken thoughts—is the theme which has begun by excommunication on the one hand and is followed by defiance on the other. “To honestly differ with the priesthood in any of their measures is apostacy” is the de- cree of Brigham and the elders. ‘“‘If it be so, then I am an apostate,” replies the excommu- nicated editor of the Utah Magazine, and his colleagues make a like confession ; for they do not see everything with the ecclesiastical oy; The and do very seriously differ with the pri hood, Now, al} this gonflict betwesp ecclépi Nonh gubboriix amd feocdlom of, great of heart—has been laid to his temporary rest in that grand old cathedral where sleep the lost mortality of a hundred kings and queens, and nobles and statesmen, soldiers and poets who have been deemed worthy the ex- alted honor of a tomb or a statue in Westmin- ster Abbey. The fact in itself would amount to little were it not for the spirit which ani- mated the homage thus designed to be rendered by both Queen and people to a great and noblo- hearted citizen of America and a bountiful benefactor to England. In both of these capa- cities the character of George Peabody was evidently appreciated. It was at the request of the Queen herself that these solemn cere- monies took place in Westminster Abbey, thus indicating the appreciation of the deceased which she had always manifested in his life- time. The royal presence was represented at the funeral—as on all such occasions when the most prominent British subject is conveyed to the tomb—by her Majesty’s private secretary, General Gray, the royal carriage and that of the Prince of Wales followed the hearse; and, indeed, in every way that honor could be done to the occasion by the royal family, there was nothing wanting. Among the mourners were the Prime Minis- ter, Mr. Gladstone; the Foreign Secretary, Lord Clarendon; John Bright, the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of London and the adjoining coun- ties and many of the most distinguished men in the British metropolis, When the body was laid in the temporary receptacle we are told that a ‘‘floral cross” was lajd upon the coffin. From whose hand did this graceful tribute come? Was {t not the last offering from sove- reignty itself? We know that up to the last hour of Mr. Peabody’s life the Queen was most solicitous concerning his declining health, and had he lived a little longer she would proba- bly have been present at his deathbed, At all events, we know that her affection for his character lives beyond the final hour of disso- lution, or the ceremonies in Westminster Abbey would have been a mockery, The last honor to the dead is the offer to convey the remains on board a war vessel—the Inconstant being ordered for that service. Our Navy Department has very properly telegraphed by cable to Admiral Radford, commanding the American fleet in Europe, to detail a war ship for the same melancholy service, It is pre- sumed that the American war ship will act as ® convoy to the British man-of-war. Admiral Radford will, of course, act with becoming delicacy in assisting at the friendly offices of the British Queen and government in convey- ing to his native land the remains of our late estimable countryman, Tuk Gorp Market.,—Gold fluctuates on the narrow margin between 126 and127, That famous order of Grant on that disastrous day to the bull ring when they had rushed up gold to 165—that famous order, ‘‘Sell five millions,” did the business, The gamblers in gold pools have been shy of that little game ever since, and the government fairly has them on the hip, Tae Spanish Torone Stitt Gors Bra- Ginc.—The Spaniards seem very difficult to please in regard to the selection of a monarch, and, on the other hand, several of the proposed candidates appear rather {ndifferent about ac- cepting the proffered honors. The latest case is that of the Duke of Genoa, whose can- didature is approved, it is said, by the entire Cabinet of Italy, but whose mother, the Duchess, it appears, has not forgotten the mournfal fate of the Emperor of Mexioo. From the many accounts received from various parts of Spain it certainly would appear that the elevated socialist ideas that prevail, espe- cially among the country people, are far from offering any great inducements to the aapl- rants. Whoever should prove the lucky win- ner of the prize will have an excellent oppor- ty of moking a atriking débat on the regea f Europe, and will aoon find that there Guth to the gd maxim, thpt “eit that Ie dot gold.” Our Religions Charitin® We published yesterday description: of two institutions in this city and vicinity which for beneficent purposes and practical operatty\a cannot be much excelled by any metropolis im the world. We allude to the Home for Found- lings in East Twelfth street, and the Protecto- ries for boys and girls in Westchester county. Tho former institution, which is under the man- agement of the Sisters of Charity, stands as a bulwark against the advancing tide of the shocking crime of child murder, which has been so long a scourge in the community and a besom of destruction to the minds of the young females of the metropolis. If this class must err it is at least an amelioration of cir- cumstances that the sin of incontinence is not followed by the horrible crime of infanticide. The police returns show that since the Home for Foundlings has opened its doors to the poor waifs and strays of infancy this crimo has greatly diminished, and in many districts it has wholly disappeared. The Catholic Protectories, which were estab- lished by the late Dr. L, Silliman Ives, were incorporated by the Legislature in 1863, and are located about fifteen miles from the oity, in Westchester county. One branch is de- voted to the care of girls and is in charge of the Sisters of Charity; the other, which accommodates over sevon hundred friend- less boys, is in charge of the Christian Brothers. The inmates of these institutions are poor children, who are either picked up in the streets, homeless and parent- less, or arrested for vagrancy or on minor charges of larceny, resulting from want and hunger. Here they are protected from evil soci- ety, their minds are trainod in morality and re- ligion, and their worldly comforts are attended to until they are old enough to take care of themselves. What praise is necessary to give value to such noble charities as these? Their object, as well as their results, speak elo- quently for them. New York is, indeed, grand and liberal in all its charites. There is no limit to the princely donations for the allevia- tion of human misery contributed by the gen- erosity of this public. And surely there are - no charities more worthy of support than those where helpless children are snatched from the vicious atmosphere of a large city and trans- formed into virtuous and useful citizens, Tug Fasnions.—Our special weekly report of the dress fashions and styles of costume prevailing in Europe, more particularly in Paris and on the Continent, published this morning, is dated at Marseilles on the 29th ultimo, The ‘‘fashionable world” had turned its face towards Egypt, and its members and devotees were streaming in crowds to Alexan- dria, Suez and Constantinople. The writer records this fact besides sketching land scenes en route, and describing the peculiar styles of costume prevailing in Marseilles, and furnish- ing some interesting notes on the éon of that city as differing from that observed in Paris, AMUSEMENTS. Boora’s THEATRE.—Mr. J. Palgrave Simpson's drama of “Time and the Hour’ was produced for the first time in this country at Booth’s theatre laas night, The drama affords an excellent opportunity to display the ability of the company. The charac- ters are strongly marked and the play itself contains many fine dramatic situations, The scene between Sir Philip Deverell and Marian Beck, at the close of the second qgct, and the sleep-walking scene of Sir Philip at the close of the Play, are particularly fine, These two Characters were respectively played by ‘anny Morant and Mr. Theodore Hamilton. Aa Marian Beck Miss Morant gave a fine penne if cul the part, and Mr. Hamilton, in the more di rle of Sir Philly even with @ keen conception of the author, Hu ‘ep Walking scene at the close of the play was a tine effort and well deserved the a jause it received. It would be dificult to Ond i ig peculiar line of business a more gr able player than Mr. Oharies Peters, and the us tation he has already won as a charac actor was fully sustained last night by bis repre- sentation of J. Montgomery Brown. Brown fe thy funny man of the piece, and Peters’ playing dre forth many @ hearty laugh. The juven! art, George Ayimer, Was played by Mr. augustus Piton. ‘This actor has evidently made Mr. Edwin Booth his model, and, a8 18 the Gage with most copyists, he fails into the errors of the master while trying to give his most effective points. Mr. Pitou was most stagey. Miss Blanche De Bar, Mr. Fenno and Mt. Decker were all excellent.in the characters allotted to them, ‘Tue scenery, as usual, was very fine.
