It was, therefore, with mo small degree of anxiety, not wholly unmixed ‘with curiosity, that the announcement was re- eived in the feet that he was to preach before the rew of the flagship Wabash this morning, M. ape) can certainly plume himself on his eudtence, Yor not an oMcer was absent who could be re- Yeased from daty. MONSEIGNEUR CAPEL Yethe prime assistant of Archbishop Manning, of London, bis residence being. as his card designates, Bearsdale Villas, Kensington, W. His reputation @s 8 florid speaker was quite sustained. He Is ever ata loss for a word, and generaliy a good ‘word, to express his meaning. His tone of voice Is Bigh to pitch and he speaks more rapidly than UNITED STATES STEAMER mm Pranes. | Most divines, which renders it difficult to gseport bim with accuracy. In appearance Be is about the middle height, with @ @orid complexion, of spare balid, a head of thick Bair, shot with gray, perhaps forty-five years of age. His mouth is very mobile and very expressive, @s Ww generally the case with a mouth in a face ‘which 1s closely shaven. The tone of voice, before re= Serred to, is peculiar. It leads the hearer to be- Bleve—provided he does not see the speaker—that he }s praying when preaching, and preaching when Praying. it may be described, therefore, as a prayerful monotone. He wore the canonicals of ms Whurch in andressing the crew, and commenced ‘with reading a selection from his prayer book. He then took as his text the parable of tne Prodigal Bon, which he read with so slight an accent as to Wecelve any but the most practica: ears. The only Weviations noticed were no.leage for knowledge and hi-red” for hired. Hts trlumpn over English is Bignal; so much sv that It is said that he is English. Bat then he uses the French much too beautifully for that. Is is an open question; but I lean to the Bide that he is more of French, He may be called Franco-English or Anglo-French. He spoke what te written, or nearly 80:— HIS SERMON.

Exhibition ef Selouw’ ‘Jerusalem, im Her Grandeur and in Her Fall.” It would perbaps have been :mpossible for an artist to have selected @ subject for his pencil more full of deep and lasting interest to the civilized world than that which Mr, Selous has chosen, Whether we look upon Jerusalem from the merely historical point of view or turn to it with feelings of religious awe, as tne scene of the awful sacrifice which was the price of man’s redemption, it possesses for the intelligent mind AN ABSORBING INTERRST, Our thoughts are carried back to the days wien God seemed to concentrate all 81s love on His chosen people. The artist has raised trom its runs the magnificent femple of Solomon and surrounded it ‘with the principal edifices of the existence of which we have apy knowledge, In treating of this subject of Jerusalem in her grandeur the artist has been necessarily compelied to depeud very much on his Imagination, aided by such authentic descriptions as exist in sacred ur profane history. Indeed, the guthority of archeology and the late topographical surveys have given such reliable data for the Teconstruction Of the city as it existed in the time of Christ that in all essential particulars we may look upon Mr. Selous’ painting as a fair representation of the scene. The treat- ment, from an artistic point of view, 1s very satis. factory, great attention having been paid to the Perspective drawing, and an amount of care and industry has been displayed in the working out of the details that partakes of the marvellous, For exampie, in the ‘Temple the smailest detail of orna- Meutation has been pained in, without, however, imterfering with the geaeral beauty of the work. An lnpression of grandeur and richness 1s conveyed which harmonizes well with the generally accepted idea of the beauty and magnificence of the Lemple, im which reposed the visibie sign of GOD'S COVENANT WITH MAN, But we confess that, much a3 we are interested tn the Jewish city in the days of its pride, 1 18 witn the Jerusalem of to-day, in its ruin and decay, that we are most coucerned. There is a mysterious sug- Legieneiresrt in the crumbling walls and dilapidated houses, Which, somehow, touch a secret chord of sympathy, and awaken teeiings for which we in vain attempt to account by reason, ‘The same influ. ence made itself felt by the artist, and the result 1s seen 10 & Work that, looked at pictorially, ts far su- perior to its companion, In both pictures the point of view is almost identical, so that we can compare at our ease the picturesque ruin of today with the grandeur of two thousand years ago. As we look ‘rom one to the other there comes back forcibly the listory of unat pure and gentle lite which the wicked populace sacrificed to thelr jusensate hate, and the ¢ye wanders inquir- ingly irom the Hl of Olives to the distant horizon, where the via dolorosa euds at THE DIMLY SHADOWED MOUNT OF CAVALRY, Our thoughts revert the more Lreely to this subject in the picture of Jerusalem in her ball because there 18 nothing bul the associations of the place to attract our atiention, It is true the artist has placed & number’ of groups of travellers, | guides and soldiers in the foregrouud to Telieve the mass of masonry which occupies the | Ceatre of the composition, but though these groups ) are admirably arranged, and falfll their purpose | the prosure, they do not necessarily add very much to the interest whic Is aturaliy centred in the caty itself, The time chosen by the artist is when | the sun is going down, Out not in one of those ' GORGEOUS FLOODS OF GOLD AND CRIMSON LIGHT so common In the East, Minuiul of the sad history, Witich more than aughtelse makes us love and re- * | vere the crambling Walls of the old town, the artist has thrown a mellow, shadowful itgut over the scene; aud even the setting sun seems to veil his glory as his last beams Kiss reyerently the mount whereon died tae Son of Man. ‘The most striking butiding in the present city is the mosque of Omar, | occupying almost the sane ground as the Temple did of old, A salient angie of the wall which Is rapidly {ailiag to decay 1s said to have formed part of the ancient Temple; but of tnis there 1s uo abso- jute certaiuty. We must compliment Mr. Selous on the remarkably effective manner in which he has dealt with his subjects, and the evidence which they jurnish of real artistic feeling on his part. In Jerusalem, In her fati, the twillght which bathes the scene in half tones of a subdued religious character 1s well in keeping with the siate of ruin of the city, Over the foreground shadows are stealing, mingling with the faint, mellow rays cast over the landscape by the departing sun, and lend- ing an air of PEACK AND MYSTERY tothe scene which accords well with the thoughts which naturally suggest themselves. ‘The compusi- tion of the work 1s vold and free, with sense of dis tance and space well conveyed. What tends the greatest importance to Mr. Selous’ work is its truthfulness and the almost topographicul fidelity which marks his drawing. On this point we have the evidence of a number of distinguished travel. Jers who have dwelt long in the Sacred City and are necessarily familtar with the scene. No one who takes an interest In the history of the Christian Church ought to neglect to visit tne exhibition rooms, on the corner of Twenty-second street and Fith avenue, where Mr, Selous’ pictures have been placed on view by Mr. Derby, by whom they were brought to ts country.

The Montgomery Ad@veriiser remarks tbat since the nomination of Judge Davis, of Liiiots, for the Presidency, and Governor Parker, of New Jeracy, for the Vice Presidency, by the labor reformers, an impression has been steadily gaining ground throughout the country that on this ticket all the conservative elements in opposition to Grant and the extreme raaicals can be thoroughly concen- trated. So far as we have any knowledge of public sentiment tn the South, continues the Advertiser, the leading {dea with our people 1s that the North- ern and Western democracy shall choose their candidate and select thelr own groand for the coming great and decisive battie, The Southern States will ratily by their votes in Convention the cholce of the North and West, and, moreover, will Cast at least eighty clecioral votes for the Ucket, General Gr in West Virginia. The Wheeling Jn/elligencer (repubilcan organ in West Virginia), after enumerating a sories of rea- sons why General Grant should not be renominated, continues :— A We expect to defer to the jalgment of the Phila- delphia Convention, and to give its nominee, who- ever he may bo, the best ele we can; and we think it very probable now that judgment will be adverse to our own and that nominee not the one of our choice, But we have a right to independent opinion betore the Convention acts, and we esteem the rignt of free discussion too valuable to suppress our opinions out of fear that we may be im the minority.

Andrew Rennie, a young Scotchman, arrived in this city on Thursday last from Canada, having in his possession the savings of several months’ hard labor, and purchased ticket per steamer France for his home, While standing at the foot of pier 46 on Saturday morning, waiting for the steamer to sail, he was approached by a well dressed and conversant mdividual, Who claims to be John Edwards, twenty-two years of age, residing at 325 West Thirty-fourth street, who inquired if he in- tended sailing in tic Frauce, Being Informed in the affirmative, Edwards replied he was just the man he wanted, as he had a sick brother also going in the same steamer, and if he Would look after and tend to his wants he would remunerate him for it, ihe bret teh young Scotchinan, desiring to earn an honest penny, accepted the situation.
