LONDON, May 26, 1870. io common with many other Englishmen, I often wish (hat some American newspaper would take up to earnest the subject of what is one of our great national offences, namely, unmitigated funkeyism. Bear in mind that in this term I do not include the correct and proper respect which ali sensible men, ali over the world, pay to those who, ag the Seriptures say, ‘are placed in authority over us,’ I hold—and I think 1 hold rightly—that the tndivideal whe would swagger up to the President of the United States and treat him with any attempt ‘at tamiliarity or disrespect would be quite as great @ snob aa the man who would refuse to take off his hat to Queen Victoria, In all lands there are cus- toms and observances which ought to be respected altke by those who inhabit the land and those who re merely sojournerain the same. But it is very ‘ent with the offence of which we are in Eng- land getting every year more guilty. The man who wonid in Rome Kneel to ask the Pope's bleasing would be merely doing in that city what the Romans do. So would he who, when preseuted to Queen Victoria of Gagland, would kiss her Majesty’s hand, an individual who asked President sing or attempted to Kiss the hon- man’s hand would probably be shut up asa dangerous !unatic, What I complain of 1s sub- servieney when and where none is due, and Ipro- coed to give an example of it which at present ia miking a great noise in London. ART AND THE EXHIBITIO! no doubt, aware that we e every year ‘in Babylon a great exposition of paint- Tags by Living arusts. To get a picture into this e: hibition ts what every young artist is ambitious of; to have oue © ed 1s What he fears most, That a number are and, indeed, must be rejected yeur ts, no doubt, inevitable. For instance, vis Beason tiere Was hanging room for about 3,000 pictures, Qud not less than 7,000 were sent in for ap- proval, Among the very many rejected were a pair of portrais Of tue Prince and Princess of Wales, by a cortatu Mr. Weigal, @ portrait pamter who has be- come fas sonable stace he married Lady Rose Fane, aistor of tae Karl of Westmoreland. These portraits were Jusily rezarded by the Coramittee of the Royal Academy as tue veriest daubs that were ever sent tn to be judeed of by the committee, and the Prince and Princess of Wales had expressed themselves exceed. ingly u's alisfied with them. But a painter does not merry the sister of an earl for nothing. Mr. Wegol iound means of making matters pleasant somewiere or other, and, to the astonishment of every one, after hia pictures had been reje ted, an order from the Queen, as patron of the Royal Academy, came that they should be nung. Her Majesty was certainly in ber right when she gave this order, for it 13 a prerogative she pos- sesses in the Royal Academy. But it is one she has hever exercised betore, aud which has never ere this occas.on been exercised in the same way. That is, no piciure has ever been commanded by her Majesty to be hung after its rejection, although such acommand has often been given before a picture has been placed before the commitiee. Be that, however, as it may, the artists of London are furious at what they deem the slight that the committee has alowed ty be put upon itsef, They say that the Committee of Selection, having once rejected the portraits, ought never to have given in about them; and that they ought respectfully to have potated out to her Majesty that they could not recall the decision tney had arrived at. However, the triumph is for Mr. Weigul, for there his two pictures are to be scen in the piace of most honor i the centre room of the Royal Academy. It is now said that when the the order that these portraits should had no idea whatever that they | en rejected, and that she 1s now not xed when she has discovered the fac poth utterly worthless and “danbs"’ hb tiem say.

The Exhibition of Fans—Royal Contributors, Including the Prince of Wales. in the South Kensington Museum, London, May 25, was to be held a private view of the tutenior of the great Exhibition of Fans, The exhibition 1s part of the scheme of the Department of Science and Art for the Art Instruction of Women. To promote this object the department offered prizes in competition for fans painted by the students in the female schools of art in 1868, and again in 1869, The fan mount, to which in the first of these years the ohlef prize was awarded, is included in this exhibition, and It is in- tended to continue the competition. Her Majesty Queen Victoria purposes to offer a fan prize for com- petition at the International Exhibition of 1871. The Society of Arts has also offered its gold medal (of the value of twenty-one guineas) tor the second best fan exhibited. The Cornelia Guest and Baroness Meyer de Rothschild have each offered a prize of ten pe for the two next best fans. The Princess oulse Will exhibit a fan of her own workmanship at the Exhibition of 1871. Her Majesty the Queen exhibits seventeen speci- mens of fans in the collection.

MADRID, May 25, 1870, The military revolution at Lisbon has caused a good deal of excitement in political circles, and hs given rise to speculations as to what will be the anal result of the outbreak. The military revolt at Lis- bon to the cry of “Viva Saldanha !” “Down with the government !” ig simflar in many respects to the almost exclusively military outpreak at Madrid in June, 1866, to the cry of “Viva Prim!” “Down with the government |’ The immediate result, however, is very different. In the bloody Spanish combat of June, 1866, the existing government triumphed after some 2,000 troops and civilians, between killed and wounded, had been put hors de combat, At Lisbon the losses have been comparatively tri- fling and the triumph of the revolutionary party com- plete. In June, 1866, the Spanish government crushed the rebellion; but their triumph was tem- porary; the reigning dynasty received its death wound. The cornerstone of the House of Bournou was knocked away, and, after swaying to ana fro tor a while, the whole edifice fell with a crash that shook more than one other dynasty and startled monarchs whose thrones were regarded hitherto as the firmest among the firm. At Lisbon the revolution has triumphed and the royal family may be considered as prisoners of the fortunate old General Saldanha. The King has re- cetved a grand lesson touching the littleness of royalty and how short the time Which it takes to convert Kings into exiles; how majesty in purple robes, with crown and sceptre, may be made to crouch at the feet of an old soldier like a whipped cur. The throne of Luis of Portugal is in a shaky condition. Earthquakes are not unfrequent at Lisbon, and are often dangerous in the extreme ; but to Dom Luis aC litical earthquakes are far more dangerous. re political earthquake of Jast week jerked bim from his throne on to the carpet. Old Saldanha took compassion and led him again to the royal chair. Let him beware of the next terrenoto—tmat may piteh him out of the window, PORTUGUESE HISTORY.

All the companies belag mustered Cap- tain Piua Viclai barangued the troops, calling upon them to upset the Ministry and “prociaim’! the brave jarshai Saldanha. The soldiers, as one man, gave their consent in loud “vivas” for the old Duke. The Colonel of the regiment ran great risk of losing hits life, for he opposed the movement. The men, how- ever, contented themselves tn making him prisoner. At half-past twelve three shots were heard in La Plaza Neuva, which is supposed to have been a sig- nal for the Tenth regiment of infantry, for itat once left its quarters. Major Pimenta, of the cav- alry,. took charge of the Piaza de Armas (Arsenal). A sergeant of the detachment of ortillery in charge of the Castilio de San Jorge opened the powder magazine and gave the necessary quantity of powder to fire the salute of twenty-one guus at daybreak, which was done amidst deafening vivas for “the constitutional charter,” ‘‘the people,” “the army,” and “Marshal Saldanha.” A good many pie had already entered the ar- senal, the plan of the msurrectionists being, in case of need, to arm the citizens in ite defence, while they engaged the troops still faithful to ile govern- meat, The Vifth regiment of chasseura guarded the castle, aud were soon joined by the greater part of the Tenth reginent, the whole of the Seventh, the half of the Sixteenth, nearly the half of the regiment of chasseurs No. 2, and a good pact of artillery No. 3. With all these forces a column was formed, and, headed by the veteran marshal, started for the Plaza de la Ajuda, where the royal palace is situatea, which they entered by the street called Don Vasco. In this square the government had concentrated the follow- ing troops, viz:—The First lancers and some artil- lery.

Criticiams New Books. THE LIFE OF BISMARCK, PRIVATE AND PoLirical, With Descriptive Notices of his Ancestry. ByJoho George Louis Hesekiel. Transiated and edited by Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie, F. S. A., F, A. 5. L. New York: Harper & Brothers. Much of the historical value of this biography 1s lost because of the excessive partisanship of the author, His materials for making the work the best life of Bismarck yet written were undoubtedly ample, it being evident, from the facts narrated and from the nw ‘ous private letters written by the Prussian Premier to his wife aad others, that the source from which Herr Hesektel drew them was none other than the Count himself. The book ts, we admit, very interesting. It gives us a charming pic- ture of Bismarck’s domestic life; shows us German lite among the nigher classes, and introduces us to terms of social famitiarity with the ian who outwit- ted Napoleon and deteated Francis Josgph. The life of Bismarck i minutely and, for the moss part, aceu- rately detailed, and the fact that the author was evidently inspired by the sabject imparts to the book # sort of sem! cial air Which makes it all the more desirable to read it. Theu, again, the style in which it 18 written is graphic aud entertaining. These are the merits of tuts biography. Its demerits are comprised In the extravagant laudations of Bis- marck, whom Herr Hesektel would have us belleve to be little short of perfection, His defence of abso- lutisiu ts praised, his arbitrary acts are defended—in short, hero worship is 60 apparent throughout the work that we cannot place any reliance upon the estimate formed of Bismarck’s character, Now, we have as high an opinion of Count Sismarck as it tx possivie to eustly hold. No person can ques- tion his great abilities, his skill and his daring in diplomacy; for these he has manitested too platni: to the world for any one to deny his. #8011 them. But to write @ history of Nts life, such as WI stand (he tes! of criticism, some ovher pen is needed than that of Herr Hesekiel, who is entirely tov prejudiced in favor of Bismarck and absointism to do justice to the opponents of the Count aud to democracy, CONFERENCES OF THE REV. Peake LACORDAIRE, De- luvered in the Cathedral of Notre Dawe, in Paris. ‘Translated from the Freach by Henry Langdon, New York: P. O'Shea. Less impassioned than Bossuet was and less theatrical than Hyaciniie 1s, Pere Lecordaire was abler than either of these great French preachers, A convert to Catholicism, be remained through life a warm defender of the Church and at the same time a liberal of the school of Montalembert, Although some of his writings were coudemned by the Pope (Gregory XVI.) and he submutted to the will of nis superior, he never abandoned those ideas of liberal- ism, united to a pure Catholicism, which have en- deared him to the Gailican Chui It Was io 134L that he appeared, or rather reappeared, at Notre Dame, ana delivered the first of ule serics of dis- courses which fave made his name famous and which we have the work before us. He produced immense excitement; thousands flocked (o hear nim; there was a great rdiigions revival, audio his efforts were due, in some measure, the compara- tive moderation of the rea republicans at the revolu- tion of 1848. Lacordaire’s pier great “conference” was held in ark 3, Sy re he Was ap- pointed director hate at Sorat, and eight Years later the brilliant and gifted Dominican monk Passed away from earth. We need hardly say that the sermons before as are well worthy of perusal. They detend and uphold the dogmas of the Catholic Church and they teach religion tu its purest and Most exalted seuse, Not alope for their theological arguments are they valuavle.

Appleton & Co, of this city. The author is Professor of German in the ublic schools of the city of New York and has renee his great experience to bear upon the work, which, from a cursory glance, we are inclined to praise highly. The novel principle on which it 1s compiled is excelient, and we have no doubt that it will be foand effective and trustworthy by all who use it, Mr. Ezra Seaman has written a very interesting work on “The American System of Government’? (New York: Charles Scribner & Co,), in which he de- scribes “its character and workings, its defects, ont- side party machinery and influences and. the pros- perity of the people under t's protection.” The de- fects of our system of government are pointed out as tending to Qemoralize our people and as threaten- ing the stability of our institutions; and Mr. Seaman suggests numerous reforms to atrost our downward course. Qne chapter of the work is devoted to a con- sideration of the Woman question, and the conclu- sion is gained that the proper sphere of woman is the domestic circle, with, of course, certain exceptions. The book is interesting and is thoughtfully written. Very neatly printed and with a handsome binding is the little volume entitied “Lifting the Vou.” (New York: Charles Scribner & Co.)

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF INSANITY, Unaccountable Action of a Jersey Policeman, A few days ago, near the Market atreet depos, in Newark, the attention of the vencisbie Ben Gott was attracted to a large crowd in the square, and, push- tug his way through, he discovered a worman strug- gling violently with two men, one of whom wore the uniform of @ Phillipsburg policeman. On in- quiry it was discovered that the woman was a rav- ing mantac, named Carole Smith, of Phillipsburg. Further ingwiry developed the fact that the officer had been instructed to bring her to Newark, and there turo her adrift on the community; shat on the way thither she had became so violent in the cars that a second officer had to be called in at Elizabeth; and that an abortive attempt had been made to get her out of the cars at the Chestnut street depot in New- ark, the plan being apparently to place her on the platform and then leave her to the mercy of strangers, or rather place strangers at her mercy. ‘The untortunate woman scratched, tore and bit whenever she got a chance. Uncle Ben insisted that the Phillipsburg man should not leave his charge, and ordered him to take her to the station which he did, John Baker, No. 1. in charge of the Newark authorities, with the under- Standing that a3 soon as he could get back home he would consult with his superiors about the woman. Nothing has since been heard of the officer or from the Phillipsburg authorities, In the meantime Caro- line tore every stitch offer back and persisted in remaining in her cell throughout Wednesday night tn puris naturalibus, She refused everything in the way of food or drink and behaved most violently to the prison attendants. Yesterday afternoon she was laced in a straight jacketand removed to the county jail. Her case and the action of Baker is to be Oficiaily inquired into. THE MANHATTAN. MARKET.

With the amendation of the old bymn, it 13 safe to say ‘John Jourdan moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform" (or his peelers to reform). Since he took the reins at the Central Ofice great and radical changes have been effected in nearly every case for the better government of the force. What Jourdan recommends is usually coincided in by the Commissioners, For years the Board of Police Surgeons has been a close corpora- tion, whose members have been in the habit of boast- ing that they have more tnfinence at Albany than the Commissioners. They have been in a few iso. lated instances defiant and insolent to thelr su- pertors, the Commissioners, who could not brook such indignities. The result ts that the Board— Messrs. Benjamin Franklin Manierre, Henry Smith, Joseph A. Bosworth and Matthew T. Brennan—have within a few days devoted their attention to the re- construction of the SURGICAL ARM OF THE FORCE. In addition to previously announced changes in the Board of Police Surgeons, the Police Board yes- terday removed Surgeons A. 8.

His Honor bad escorted a lady friend to the depot of the Newark and New York Railroad, on Broad street, and was sitting with her in the ladies’ room, guietly chatting and puting ao cigar, waiting for the train to get ready for start- ing. Suddenly he was pounced upon by Pat Clinton, the depot master, who is no respecter of persons, and peremptorily ordered him to leave tne, room. “Get out 0’ this,” said he, laying his hands onthe Mayor with @ touch not re- markable for its gentleness. ‘I wonder you don’t have more manuers than to smoke in the ladies’ room,” ¢ontinued Pat, serenely oblivious that he was assatling 20 less a Lorgrae# than the Chief Magistrate of the city, The latter was so mortified at the brasquettess of the man as to be rendered speechiess, He teft the room abruptly and took a iater train, The incident has occasioned not a little talk and quite a deal of laughter aii parties, {tis & question whetber Pat does not now feel more annoyed than did his Honor.

Sharp Attack by a Madrid Paper om the Administration in Cuba, The Island a Prey to a Number of Families— Tho Recent Debate in Congress—Its Effect Here—The Spanish Presson the Alleged Crueltios Practised by the Troops— The Proposed Commission— News of the Insurrection. Havana, June 4, 1870. Considerable stir has been made here by an exposé of matters in this island by the Sufragio Untversal,& paper recently established tn Madrid evidently in the Interest of the republicans, The Spanish motto in Cuba at present is, “‘He who is not with us is a La- borante,”” and of course the journal mentioned is stamped as the organ of the Cuban insurgents, Ex- tracts from ita articles, taken from various issues, have been collected by the government and are re- Published by the city journals at the request of the Captain General's secretary. Evidently this is with a view of counteracting thelr influence,.on the prin- ciple which actuated the husband, who himself told all his peccadilloes to his wife, making them out 60 dreadful that she didn’t believe him or his enemies when they repeated them. The articles refer to the odious and tyrannical administration of affairs wm this island, extending through so many years, and the anomalous relation which revolutionized Spain now holds towards it. The reign of cruelty existing here and the malign influence of the volun- teers upon the colonical government are severely apimadverted upon. The journal says By the hand of fate which fell! upon Cubs the families of ins, Lopez Roberts and Santos and their descendants are filling the office of a vulture over a dead body. What follows in the administration ? That the Auditor of War, the Chief Inspector of Customs, the administrators of the Post Ollice and the archives are all Rodases, and, Ike him, ail work for themselves. ‘That the Governor, Loy cupied with the subscription of the D: sien bel to ‘disaffected and Rome converted into & plage, eon property. of paupers; all this for the pury in- oreasing the figures. And shall we say nothing of the Senor ohan; and seils oficial , and not only Jo to. hirsecit’to the pens of tna capital ? what ie the pathelogieal condition of Cuba?” By reading'the reverse of what is stated ia the fort- nightly reviow (@uincera), which is nothing alse than the organ of a mutual, admfration society, will be explained the sad existence which the Antilles are dragging out. Many satirical questions, and dificult to answer, concerning matters here are propounded. With these extracts is published an article from El Diario Espaiol, of Madrid, defending Rodas and the other officials assailed. Everybody is reading and commenting upon them, and though the Sw JSragio Universat in its articles may be controlled by prejudice and opposition to the existing govern- ment, and may do Injustice to the persons referrea to, if it succeeds in arousing a spirit of inquiry in reference to the true condition of affairs here good must result, The recent debate in the House uf Representatives on the Cuban question, following on the arrival of Mr. Phillips, late Consul at Santiago de Cuna, natu- rally excites much interest here. The foolish em- bargo on American papers continues, but a great many get in despite of it, and they are sought for and read with tenfold avidity. As the result, the report of Joraap, the comments of the press on the execution of Goicouria and the brothers ro, and the recent debate referred to, are more thoroughly understood than they otherwise would Nave been. The animus of the latter ts considered very un- poke aud among iet }, the organ vers Spaniards, devotes full three columns to the subject, as usual laudatory of Spain and abusive of everybody else, particularly the HERALD, to which it applies a variety of discourteous names. It makes at least one good point, as follows:— The Spaniards ¢o not destroy, The Spaniards rebuild. As knows the HERALD, and all the periodicais which, like the Hural.p, prostrate the sacred character of the pross to gold, our a 4 themselves for mode\s the heroes of the ai sigalg The conductors of the Voz de Cuba, like all Span- fards, seem to have such a pie idea of the power of gold and the propriety of being influenced by it that they Invariably attribute the opinions and ac- tions of their opponents to it. It denies that Mr. Phillips was in any danger in Cuba, or that the treatment he received affords any base of complaint. ‘The al.eged cruelties practised by the Spi jh au- thorities and troops in this island are being com- mented on extensively by the press of Spain, and irre this has called out hy cia here.

If peradventure they ure brought into the cities by the columns in operation a summary court martial foliows, but as preparations for their execution are generally going on at the same time periaps it is not too much (o pronounce such a trial farcical. By far the greater number are, however, not brought in. After being questioned by the commander he signt- fies to his Subaitern to take them on in advance of the column, where they are shot down and left there food for vultures. Very often these prisoners are {anocent country people—that is, innocent of any overt act and not taken with arms, ‘Lhe quick, re- morseless choking to death of Goicouria and the brothers Aguero, and the more recent shooting of the young soa of Cespedes, are fresn in the mind of Christendom. There are well authenticated accounts of horrible cruelties practised. by contra guerillas and certain battalions enlistea for the war and made up of the very scum of the iand—the majority criminals; but these are condemned by the government and the very great mass of Spaniards, who cannot be made responsible for them, further than they are naturally encouraged by the indiscriminace massacre of all prisoners of war. This has beea going on for nearly two years. They are facts as well known as possible. The kill- ing of prisoners 1s admitted and justified. ey 88 “the insurgents are not belligerents, but bandits, and assassins, Outlaws whom any one is justified tn kill. ing.” As to the a to send a commission from the United States to the island to get at the truth, it is an. exce'lent one, provided it be permitted ‘among the Cubans to take een, Other- is ot soar Mort tis robable ig Would be the benefit of the ) Members of the commission. The news from the insurrectionary districts is of little interest, In furtherance of his preparations for coming home the a General sends to the Gazette an extended Very detatied account of operations in the Camaguey, from which as a con- clusion 18 drawn the “total annihilation of the rebel- lion."” In some of the encounters it is admitted that the troops. met with determined resistance, but the usual victories are in the ena reported, Among the presented and captured are the wife of Ignacio Agramonte and the families of Argllagoz, Guerra, Cisneros, Simon!, Stephens and otuers of Puerto Principe, The killing of the chiefs Goyo Mola, En- riqne Mora and Joaquin Guzman is reported, Some correspondence of Agramonte of interest was cap- tured, Osear Cespedes, son of the President, wag shot on the 29th, In the Eastern Department the insurgents are holding thelr own, and seem to be ‘inflicting considerable loss on the Spaniards, On the 16th of May Marcano attacked the tenancy called Congo, which he ‘burned, killing four volunteers. According to Spanish accounts the con- tra guerillas marched out in pursuit of his party, and succeeded in Killing the chlef, Gabriel Perez, and eleven men. They also came prea @ hospitat containing twenty sick and wounded. A fight had taken place near the river Bury, which the insur- ents, under Modesto Diaz, were about crossing. fhe Spaniards acknowledge a loss of seven wounded and four contused. In the jurisdiction of te and in Las Tunas small encounters are reported. In Cienfuegos D. Higinio Moreirio Espinosa has been sentenced to death for the crime of disloyalty. So muen criticism bas followed on the manner tn which embargoed properties have been administered that the Captain General has seen fit to address a cirenlar to the commission, which consists of nine articles explanatory of the duties. Under these tha members are held toa strict accountability, and it they are carried out will put a stop to the dishonesty Which is so generally believed to exist. SOUTHEAN WOMEN'S BUREAU.
