The Emperor Alexander then made a brief reply, jaying that he was sensible of the honor conferred ipon him by the Sultan, and that now that the Lon- on Conference had removed all points of irritation tween Russia and Turkey nothing could disturb @ present entente cordiale.

SCENES ON THE ROAD TO ASCOT. The Grand Rendezvous of the English Aristocra- cy—Nobility, Beauty and Fashion Carry the Day—Roya!ty Represented. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, June 8, 1871. ‘The Ascot races, which commenced on Tuesday, culminated to-day in the great race of the meeting, that for the Ascot Gold Cup, value 500 sovs., given from the fund, and added toa subscription of 20 sovs. each, the second horse to receive 60 sovs. out of the stakes; three-year-olds, 103 lbs,; four-year- Olds, 122 Ips.; five-year-olds, 129 Ibs.; six-year-olds and aged, 131 lbs.; mares and geldings allowed 3 Ibs. ; about 234 miles, 30 subscribers. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ASCOT AND EPSOM. What Sterling 13 to Brummagem, what china to Staffordshire clay, that is Ascotto Epsom. Mobs people the Downs; mobs and snobs populate the Heath. Epsom favorites are those of the many-head- ed; Ascot favorites are the steeds of “M’lud,” and are backed by “‘M’lud’s” led captains and toadtes, and so of the spectators. Cocaigne 1s sparingly re- presented. The distance ts too formidable for the donkey cart, which could scarce do Epsom and back, Cabby declines on any terms to make so long a stretch at midsummer, So private turnouts alone occupy the high road, and nothing bus first class carriages by rail ure called for, THE ROAD TO ASCOT. The drives from Windsor and Frogmore and Claremont are suort; so royalty, English and French, are sure to be there, The roads have none of the Derby dust. Grass is visible by the wayside all day long, hot and dry as 1 13; tor this ts noc the carnival riot of the southwestern pike sending sandstorms across the country. We breathe the tresh air of the green fields, known of Falstaff, as we pass on our rigut the islets of Runnymede famed for the signing of Magna Charta, and look up atthe distant spires and antique towns of Eton and the donjon keep of Stately Windsor at we whirl by. Through the many miles of Windsor Park we pass leisurely, not startling the deer feeding calmly witnin gunshot; along the fairy lake, Virginia Water, under the clumsy “artificial ruin,” by the statue, out of the south gate we go; and lo, the Ascot stand, sur- mounted by the royal standard, looms into sight. THE RACE COURSE. Presently the wood-environed course, with its gTeen turf and brillant fringe of carriages, laden with fashion and, of course, with beaucy and wit, spreads out before us Ike the lists of Ashby de la Zouch, ‘ihe track, @ stranger with an eye to busi- ness quickly notices, has a good solid facing of Berk- shire clay. The starters are not tetiock deep tn dust as they quit the post, but find a fulcrum stif’ and steasy on which to base each forward impulse. Indeed, tn torrid weather apd prevalent drought the ground is inconventently baked, and the tender- footed favorite, only practiced on the sod of his pri- vate training ground, loses, however fleet, the van- tage secured to the slow-going roadster, accustomed to macadamized pikes.

The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has received a letter from the Superintendent for Montana Terri- tory transmitting a report relating to certain In- dians—Santee, Yancton and other Sioux—who have recently come to the Mik River Agency in Montana, and expressed their desire for peace and proposed to stay in that partof the country. These Indians have for years ranged over the country in Dakota and Montana, north of the Missouri river and into the Britisn Possessions, and been notorious for their depredations and for their hostility to the whites, The Comuussiover of Indian Affairs tiunks it would be well for all concerned if they could be induced to rejoin the tribes to which they originally belonged, who are now located in various Sioux reservations in Dakota, but at present this ts impracticable, as they do not desire it. The coun- try In which they express a wish to stay belongs to the Gros Ventres and Assinaboines, and the Indian Bureau deems it a matter for consideration whether it would be proper to comply with their wishes in this particular and also accede to their demand to be placed on a footing with the Assinaboines In respect of receiving assistance from the Government. It seems questionable whether they will long adhere to thew good purposes, although they may be treated well and permitted to remain in the Milk river country, as the spirit mantested by many of them indtcates a disposition tor evil, which, uniess under some stroug restraint, would provably lead them to renew their hostilities, murders and de- predations, In view of these considerations 1t is suggested that the matter be brought to the notice of the War Department, so that such surveillance may be had over their movements and such mea- sures adopted to prevent hostilities or difficulties on their part as may be proper.

Iv 1S INTENDED, at Florence, to reproduce by pho- tography the autograph manuscripts of Leonardo da Vinci, Unfortunately eleven volumes of the twelve which contatn the manuscripts, and which were presented to the Bibliotheca Ambrosiana, Mulan, by Galeazzo Arconato, are now at Parts, and it may be dificult, under the present circumstances, to nave them copted, even Lf they have escaped de- struction, The twelfth volume, however, which has remained at Milan, and which is the most in- teresting one on account of the autograph drawings of Leonardo, can be commenced at once. Mr. Scort, of the British Museum, has discovered in a MS. tract on “The Excellency of the English ‘Tongue,’ penned circ, 1590, by Richard Carew of Antony, Esq., and addressed to William Camden, then Head Master of Westminster Grammar School, @ mention of Shakspeare. The passage runs:— “WL you read Virgil, take the Earl of Surrey, Catullus, Shakespheare.” The tract bas been already printed in Carnden's “Rematus.”’ It is singular, says the Atheneum, that the passage should have hitherto been overlooked by Shakspearian critics, as 1618, undoubtedly, aneartier notice of Shakspeare 8 a poet, Witnoutany allusion to his plays, taan any mentioned by bis biographers, OBITUARY. Jules Mires. The death of this celebrated banker and financier is announced in a cable telegram publisbed this morning. M. Mii was of Jewish extraction, and was born at Bordeaux tn 1809. He received a fair education, and after leaving school engaged tn the business of a broker, but did not become prominent until after the revolution of 1843, when he was made manager of the gas company of Aries, Tuis was his first entrance into a series of speculations so exten- sive as to make him famous throughout Europe, He amassed money with great rapidity, and for the purpose of giving notoriety to his operations pur- chased and managed several newspapers. In 1851 he obtained the concession of the works of the port of Marsetiles, and for supplying that city with gas, and avout the same time founded the famous Crédit Foncter, and subsequently the Caisse Génerale des Chemins de Fer. He also secured the concession of the Roman ratlways, of the Pampe- buna raitway and of the Turkisit loan, His specula- tions at length became so gigantic that they gave rise to simister rumors, and finally, ou the 2ist of February, 1861, M. Mires was arrested on a charge of selling, without authority, shares belonging to shareholders of the Caisse Générale des Chemins de Fer, deposited with him for safe custody. On ls trial his counsel endeavored to prove that he was tne victim of political intrigue, and there seems no doubt that politics entered largeiy into the animus of his prosecutors. He was found guilty July 1, and sentenced to five years’ imprisonment and to pay a fine of 8,000 trancs. In April, 1562, this sen. tence was quashed on appeal, and M. Wires was set tree. He resumed business at once on as great a scale as ever, public confidence in him having beea scarcely shaken by the exposures which culminated in his trial. He was certainly one of the boldest speculators that France has ever known. Abraham B. Vanderpoel. This well Known citizen and veteran politician died at Fort Hamilton on Wednesday last, in the eighty-third year of his age. He was born in the village of Kinderhvok, Columbia county, on the 26th day of August, 1788, his father being Barent Vander- poel, a soldier of the Revolution and the first demo- cratic sherif? of Columbia county. The subject of this sketch was educated at Kinderhook Academy, then under the charge of David C. Werden, a highly educated and talented gentleman, who had been a colonel in the Irish rebellion, and who came to this country as an exile, in company with Emmet. At the Academy Mr. Vanderpoel remained until he had reached his thir- teenth year, When he was compelied to relinquish his studies on account of ill health, and soon ater became a clerk in a store at Kinderhook. Entering acuvely into politics, he soon became prominent. In 1510 he was elected a member of the Tammany Society, and at the time of his death was its oldest one. During the same vear (1510) he was appomted Posimaster of Kinderhook, a position le filled for about eleven years. In 1320 he became Clerk of Columbia county and ex ogicio Clerk of ail the courts. Five years iaterhe moved to tie city of New York, and in 1826 was appointed a Notary Pub- he and Commissioner of Deeds; in 1829 was made Inspector of Customs; in 1855 became Deputy Sur- veyor, aud in 1838 was appointed one of the Apprais+ ers of Customs for the port of New York. Throughout his lite Mr. Vanderpoel was an ener- getic and consistent democrat. He was a warm sup porter of the Erie Canal enlargement, and at ihe time it Was made a political question possessed great imfuence with his party, numberlag among his personal (riends such leaders of the democracy as Martin Van Buren, Andrew Jackson, Sitas Wright, De Witt Clinton, A. C. Fiagg, ©. C. Cambreleng, Wultam L. Marcy and others. ‘ Gn the 26th of May, 1518, Mr. Vanderpoel married Harriet, daughter of Joseph Goodwin, a merchant formerly of Lenox, Mass., and for many years a member of the Massachusetts Legislature. By this union he had seven children, only two of whom sur- vive him. He was & man of pleasing address and deservedly popular with allclasses. A warm friend an afectionaie huso: kind and imauigent father, and an upright his death creates a volu not easily filled. CORPUS CHRISTI zen, Ceicbration of the Festival Yesterday.

Of course, under such creeds as do not accept the doctrine of transubstantiation’ the feast i3 not so observed. ‘The actual anniversary of the Holy ucharist takes place on Thursday, ta Holy Week, When the Last Supper was held; but as this falls in the saddest part of the period of tue Paasiou, tt was deemed proper to set apart a day whereon all the soul of the Christian worla might find fitting tongue for their praise of the miraculous Doon. This was fixed for the Thursday next following ‘Trinity Sunday. Its service is one of the most beau- tiful tn the Oatholic Charch, Solemn High Mass 13 sung, litames are chanted and processions with blazing tapers, glowing banners, white-robed matd- ens scattering flowers, acolytes with goiden crosses, and priests under silken canopies, bearing tne Sacred Host in the golden remonstrance.

Unsuccessful Attempt to Heal Differences in | the Republican Ranks. The Contest Over the Customs Commissionership. Another Chapter in the Bowen Bigamy Case. WASHINGTON, June 8, 1871, Investigation of a Mississippi River Stcam- bont Disaster. In February last Secretary Bontweil issued an order directing that the most thorough investigation should be made of the cause of the disaster to the steamer W. R. Arthur, destroyed near Memphis, and by which sixty-five persons lost their lives. Tha local Board of Inspectors have, alter diligent exami- nation of all the facts that could be gathered, re- ported to Supervising Inspector Houston, of Louts- Ville, that the engines of the steamer were very de- fective, and that there was criminal carelessness and negligence, both on the part of the owners and ofmicers, in allowing the boat to be In service under such circumstances. The licenses of the engineers have been revoked. From the decision of the local board an appeal has been taken to the Supervising Inspector, who now holds the subject under advise- nent, but who will undoubtedly sustain the decision of the local board. In that event all parties con- cerned will be presented to the Grand Jury of the United States District Court of Louisville tor udict- ment on the charge of murder. The Vacant Commissionership of Castoms— Attempt to Heal Local Differences. There are now ten applicants for the office of Commissioner of Customs, the princlpal contestants being from New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. It is claimed that if the President would couter the appointment upon a resident of the former State tt would tena to heal existing divisions tn the repubit- can party in New Hampshire and secure their united effort in favor of tne administration, On the other hand, Pennsylvania considers that tt has been unfairly dealt with by the President tn the apportioning of government offices at Washington and that it has very much less than smaller States, that the position was first tender: lass, Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue, who is from Erie in that State, Was $500 less per annum than that of bis present position, and that he was not seeking nonors at such a sacrifice, The Mississipp! delegation are anxious that the President should recognize its loyalty to the administration and give the appoini- ment to some one from that State, Secretary Bout- well decidedly favors the claims of Penusylvanta, and those who agree with him that without the votes of that State a republican President could not be re-elected, say that it is high time President Grant should heed their wishes, The matter will be disposed of on the return of the President here next week.

Earl de Grey, Sir Stafford Northcote, Professor Bernard, Sir Edward Thornton and Lord Tenterden at the conclusion of each day's session made up a journal of the day's deliberations, Which were at their leisure written out in full, so as to form a complete and accurate history of the pro- gress of their labors, the different opinions ex- pressed in the formation of the dierent articles of the treaty, as well as the construction which should be given to each portion of the articles.
