MADRID, June 18, 1872, A heavy thunder storm came up suddenly this evening and swept out-of-door Madrid into shelter. @ut-of-door Madrid had taken more than usual ad- vantage of what at the outset was aciear, glaring Might—one of those nights you see so frequently in ‘this cloudless, open land. As I pushed my way from She Palace region to the Puerta del Sol, abont eight $m the evening, the sidewalks were crowded with eltizens, gossiping, shouting, chattering, with that @arnestness of manner which, when expressed in ‘What Byron might have called “the soft, bastard Latin,” has a musical effect, something like the overture to “Tannhauser,” or one of Wagner's ‘peculiar operas. All Madrid seemed to be in the streets discussing one of the perpetually occurring “situations” which seem to be inseparable from thi Strange land, On this occasion the situation was more than usually exciting. Marshal Serrano, who yesterday seemed to be dictator, had resigned, and Spain was without a government. THE POLITICAL SITUATION. It ia very hard for the foreigner to appreciate the Spanish political situation, for in 8 government verging on chaos how are we to understand that ‘there is even a situation? Ever since young Ama- deus came to the throne the question has been, @oes the advent of His Majesty mean a dynasty or | eimply an experiment in the revointion? The dy- masty began in that crime which deprived Spain of her ablest citizen and threw over the new reign a shadow, partly of terror, partly of interest and sym- pathy. It was Prim who called Amadeus to the throne. 1t was Prim’s arm which was to strengthen | the new sovereign—to be to the young Savoyard ‘what Charles Martel had been to the earlier kings of France and the great Warwick to the later Plan- taganets, But when the new King came to his own ‘his Warwick was lying cold and dead in the War OMce, shot to death in a narrow by-way as he was returning to his home about dusk from the Cortes, ‘The menace, the meaning of that event, have been @isquicting to Amadeus, The problem in all minds— ®panish men and all men who wished well to Spain—has been, not “Can the new King vale?” but ‘Can he reign?” Rulership was quite out of place in the new dynasty, and men called to saind with a shudder the foreign prince who went to reign over the Spanish nation of Mexico, the bright promise and the sincerity and zeal which attended him, his valor and princely devotion to his duties, and how all that came of it was that he should moet his fate from a corporal’s guard at Queretaro. AMADEUS f# quite as interesting a cnaracter as young Max- ‘milian. He is in the early flush of his manhood. Hie face is pale, heavy, expressive—a kindly, @ogged face—with shadows of sadness, perhaps sternness, passing over it; plainly the face of a man of nerve and will. Isaw him riding in the public Place this evening, as I have seen him nearly every evening recently. the people show Amadeus goes everywhere in the most careless manner, witha fine indifference to anger, to danger even more imminent than which fell to Prim, and so has extorted the admiration of all classes. Everybody regards the King as a brave, even a daring man, and this tralt goes far with this high-strung people. There was a suspi- cion of loneliness about him, as he passed swiitly along this evening, that invoked one’s sympathy, and made even his kingship a thing not to be en- vied. He sat back in a light open carriage, with a bdraided aid at his side, his hat rather pushed over his eyes—one gaudily-apparcliled jockey, with a | 1 powdered wig, riding ahead on one of the horses— his hand twirling a slight cane, carefully gloved | and rather foppish in his raiment, and receiving e@carcely any attention from the crowd. In these monarchical countries etiquette calls upon every one to doff his hat to the King and to pause with ‘uncovered head as he passes, Here, of all coun- tries the one where the Crown has been honored so Jong with a superstitious veneration, a king drove through a wide, crowded street and none heeded him. I watched his equipage, having some curiosity on the subject, while it passed within view of a thou- eand people at least—lounging in front of the coree bouses, going to and from the Prado, and although ail saw him and knew him, not more than three or four hats were raised in his honor. There was an evident eagerness in the manner in which he re- turned the salute of an attaché of a legation who Dappened to pass on horseback—a craving, as it were, for that courtesy which belonged to his birth and his rank, aud which, I take it, must be pleasant even to kings. But he drove through tie silent, sombre crowd of high-born, courteous, over-polite Spanish gontiemen—of men who excel in solemn ofMicious,resonant courtesies—practically unnoticed, understood what a keen observer of Spain, who has Jong lived, here meant when he ended his narra- tive of the King’s failure to root dynasty by saying, “Why, even the cabmen don’t take of their hats to him | A sad outlook surely fora young King, or for anyone in a king’s place, with royal duties to do and striving to achieve them. But beyond the King or any personal interest of his house comes ‘this grave question, ‘What ls to become of Spain? SPAIN, PASI AND PRESENT, It ie diMcult to disentangle this Spanish problem #0 af to make it In any way intelligible to the Ameri- can mind, Nor can we understand the situation here and the great movement that is now going on in Apain, without taking a broad and generous view of it. To do this we must abandon that tendency w Chauvinism in which Americans ana Engilsh are apt to indulge—the conviction that God has made the world for the blue-eyed races; the belief that the Latin nations, France, Italy and Spain are too far gone in moral and political decay to have any future but what we see In Carthage and Egypt. Aud yet itis very hard to take a hopeful view of Spain. I stood in the Chamber of the Tombs in the grand and gioomy palace monastery of the Escurial not long since, in the splendid apartment under the altar, where the Kings and Queens of Spain for more than three centuries are buried, The room is worthy to be a royal sepulcbre, decorated with an infinite profusion of costly marbice and precious stones, the poli*hed and slippery steps, the walls lined with jasp the urns of black colored marbée trimmed with bronze; the altar, the Italian crucifix, the play- house chandelier; the sarcophagi where the royal bodies moulder in pesce; the urna that await the future kings, if there are to be any kings. I thought as I stood in the ample silence and dismal splendor of the gloomy Pantheon of the Spain as left by that Charies V. who was first buried here, and she #pain of towlay whose government is #0 sore a problem to young Amadeus. When you th this you see what an almost ho 88 probe: before the King. That empire founded by Charies, and ruled over by Philip IL, was one greatest ever was governed by # mona in Hurope "8 power, especially by his alliances with the ee I No matter what temper of mind | NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JULY 1, 1872—WITH SUPPLEMENT, He had an army which had no superior, a navy eat enough to menace England, and which, but for the elements, would have successfully invaded it; and he was served by men who showed capacity for politics, diplomacy, administration and war, We fee what the intellect of the nation could achieve when we remember Murillo and Velasquez in art and Cervantes in letters, It would be tedious | and unnecessary to trace the steps by which Spain | In two centuries has fallen from the empire left hy Philip Il, to the nation which a minimum of the Court tranate rred to Napoleon by atreaty. Although | the Spanish tongue is spoken, and the Influence of Spanish custom is felt over the greater part of South and a large part of North America, nothing re- matne worth clalming but Cuba and Porto Rico. These islands, held by Spain with intense pride and solicl- tude, hang by @ slender thread, and must in time be a part of the United States. At home misgoy- ernment has done its worst. Public order exists only in the cities, Travel is as Maney eet in many sections as in crossing the Plains before the Pacific | Rallways were built. There are sections where the only activity shown 18 the activity of the bandits. The principal towns are remembered and visited because of their greatness in the time of Cwsar, and even of the Moors. The great intellectual movement which began with @ Reformation |! made no impression in Spain, The Inguisition was only suppressed in 1808. The Plaza Mayor, where the acts of faith were celebrated b; burning heretics, has had scarcely a stone changed. fountain plays where the faggots were wont to burn; but the traveller has to draw lightly on his imi tion to see the blazing fire, the terror- stricken condemned led to the stake, id the Jconies that surround the square lined with the noblemen and ladies of Spain, as eager for the sacrifice as they are now for the Sunday bull tight, which is regularly at- tended by from ten to twelve thousand inhabi- tants of Madrid. In Madrid there are some evi- dences of activity, but fitful and slow. Some of the wealth earned in Cuba is spent here; but Madrid is an uninviting city, without suburbs or surrounding advantages, tumbled here in the centre of a wide, open, treeless, stony plain, built to satisfy the whims of a king who had the gout and cursed the dry, ‘keen, rarified air from the mountains. Ail that remains to Spain seems to be its pride. There is no public order, and yet the Spaniard thinks order is as secure as in Switzer- | land. The public treasury js almost bankrupt, and | yet rather fan sell Cuba for three hundred mil- ons the hida!go would inour all the debt his cred- {tors would allow to defend it, In one province | the Carlists are masters, in another the repub- licans, and the air is electric with revolution. THE EVENT OF THE DAY. Nothing could be worse than the present condi- tion of Spain; I mean nothing short of national ex- tinction, like Poland or Ventce, or absolute national bankruptcy, 1s Spain really bent upon reformation —not to become the engine of Philip, for that is impossible, and happily 80, to any prince or any power—but to be what nature intended it, a rich, prosperous nation, with citizens worthy of tiose amenities whose valor, enterprise and Clee dom- inated Europe? Thisisthe problem, This problem makes Spanish politics so full of interest. reat movement is taking place in Spain, second only to what was seen tn France during the revolution. Tne most extraordinary event in its history thus far took place to-day, and all Madrid was out of doors discussing it, when the thunder storm suddenly came up and drove it to shelter. Let me, if such a thing 1s at all possible, disentangle the web still further, and show you What the exact meaning of these events ts. It is easy enough to condense from the forty daily news- papers here printed narratives and rumors, and | Speeches, and anecdotes, and to throw them pell- me# into a correspondence. I know how appalling such a spectacle is—how uninteresting at best ai | phase of Spanish politics can be to the aver American mind, now concerned about Presidential elections, Yet, if one looks at Spain as she now is, compared with what she was, and gives the marked | events now occurring their proper place and value, & movement will be seen of world-wide interest, and of especial interest to America, whose relations with Spain are really closer and more importaut than those ofany foreign Power, ‘THE CHOICE OF A KING. When Serrano, Prim and their comrades resolved to turn out Isabella it was believed that bad had | become worse and that there was no enduring it. Isabella was hustled over the border; Ser- rano was given the Regency, as a sooth- | Ing pegeant; all Europe was scoured for a king, and, in time, Amadeus, the son of Victor Em- manuel was found—a young man of twenty-five, | with an attractive wile, vastly rich in her own right, intellectual, spirited, devoted in Chure! matters, with abundant feminine superstitions and fond of the Pope. The young King was the best of Victor Emmanuel’s boys; rode well, was social and | chy did not trouble himself much’ about politics, and came here with two purposes—to remain In Spain onl Sere ashe pleased the people or the people pleased him, and to observe his oath to the constitution. He knows Pesnien clumsily, is much quizzed for his broken anish by the intolerant press, wears religious duties easily, is anxious to if a very constitutional monarch and is | fumous for his personal courage. This is all there | is of Amadeus. He isa very ordinary young man, | borne to a throne, who would make a first 1 tain of dragoons. His pay, your utilitarian readers wiil be giad to know 1s $1,500,000 a year. The revo- lution brought Prim and his colleagues to this end- | ing of It, that Spain being unable to govern herself | it was necessary to pay an Italian boy, who could | not talk Spanish, to do so at the cost of $1,600,000 a year, PARTIRS IN SPAIN, when this marvellous result was achieved, were dl- vided into five groups, and this distinction should be closely observed, for it is the alphabet of the whole question :— I.—The Carlists.—Those who believed that Don Carlos, the inale heir of the throne after Ferdinand should succeed, under the Sailc law which made woman Ineligible, but which Ferdinand set aside for his daughter, going back to the old Castile and Arragon custom and making women eligible. The Carlists are mainly peasants in the wild Basque Highlands, and the priests, who think Don Carlos toe go back as near to the Inquisition as possi- e. Il.—The Legitimtsts.—Those who desire the son of the extled Isabella to be proclaimed King, with the Duke of Montpensier or Serrano as Regent. Ifl.—7The Conservatives or Reactionis(s.—Those who believed the revolution was necessary, but that having been Coals rel and Amadeus hav- ing been really gained at great expense, the revo- lution should go backward, and there should be a strong government, and a strengthening of royal prerogatives and a clipping of the wings of the high-soaring “liberties,” such for in- stance asthe liberty of the press, and of creed. IV. The Radicals—Those who believe in a monarcity as perhaps all that is available for un- happy Spain, but anxious for reforms, and to limit the King’s prerogatives and make the government Uke that of England. V. The Republicans—Those who believe in a fede- | ralrepublic and wish no dynasty whatever, but | would send Amadeus and all manner of royal pre- | tenders over the frontiers to-morrow, and do some | wild things, perhaps, unless restrained. | OLD ESPARTERO. | In addition to these five parties there is another | Party, and a very important one, in the person of old Baidomero Espartero. Espartero has a position in Spain like that of Thiers in France, He is now eighty-two years of age, is a duke and prince, belongs to no party, lives in retirement, foucht im American” wars fifty years ago aguinst Bolivar and other immortal Spanish Wash- ingtons, and was badly whipped; fought the ( ists, and was Regent at one time, fi | man in Spain, and wh always sent for. “isp: i | only Spaniard of note who has not conspired against | the throne at one time or another,” To make matters more complicated, of these five parties no one controls the Cortes, | THE INAUGURATION OF THE PRESENT CRISIS. The advent of Sagasta to power was the begin- ning of the crisis. You can form an idea of Sagasta and his political relations to Spain by careiully studying the character of Willlam M. Tweed. I do not like to accept extreme opinions about any one in | public life, for the political necessities and respon- He is the figst | cnit hear But 1 He rep- insincere to do @ pubiic man justice, only one opinion of Sagasta. resents all that is truculent and and bose in’ the Spanish character. He was an accident in the revolution, As Minister he ap- | inet to politics the rules of Walpole and the Pel- hams. Since Spain would not give hima majority of its own iree will he would buy it, ‘The elections of the last Cortes were shameful, Mr. Tweed, in his sunnicst days, when the Fourth ward in New | York gave more votes than there were men, | women and children there resident, did not sur- pass Sagasta, It was believed he took the money o attain these results, and when the Cortes met, | and an ttem of two millions of reals was found | credited to “secret service’ and “suppression of conspiracies,” there was an explosion.

THE NEXT STRP. | What wasto be don Sagasta out of power | had his purchased majority behind him. On one side was Zorriila leading ‘the radicals, the party which brought the King tothe throne, aud who really made the revolution, On the other were the | Conservatives, whose attachment to the Was an atiachment to place—who would se | Don Alphonso or Don Car} as cheerfully as they served Amadeus, The cir aronnd the King na un to use strange doctrines, “Popular parties, | 'y said, “made dynasties, but ne consolidate | them. ‘The radicals did well enough to bring Am | deus in, but it required the old conservative ele- | ments to keep himin. It was very kind of Zorrilla and his friends to give him the crown; but if le would wear St he must seek alliances elsewhere.” Since Sagasta had fallen he could utilize his strength—the strength purchased with money taken from the treasury—and continue a Ministry which commanded the Cortes. Marshal Serrano Was summoned from the Basque country, where lie | Was in the fleld against the Carlists, and was made Prime Minister, ae SERRANO AS PRIME MINISTER, Everything looked well, ‘Ihe King had a Cabinet more of Zorrilla had the real significance. The radical party would | bein sibilities of the governing station make It very ditn- | Alphonso. i sei! him out.” “He ts already sold out.” “His Cabinet are in communication with Don Alphonso.” These and similar expressions were heard every- where, and behind all was the voice of Spain, mur- muring, angry, discontented, impatient with her dishonored Cortes; the finances worse and worse; Carlists cropping out again to rob and murder; al- together a most dreary outiook for the young King, and more so because the country, apart from Ser- Tano, had no respect for the Miniatry, while he him- self could not trust it. THE RETIREMENT OF ZORRILLA, The republicans remained in armed neutrality, tient, expectant, frank in their enmity to the lynasty, and eager to strike a manly blow. The Carlists were in exile or insurrection. The friends of Isabella were beginning to count the days when they could return to the honors and emoluments of Spain. The radicals were dismayed. Seior Zorrilla, e leader, resigned his seat in the Cortes and re- tired from’ public life. This step made a profound sensation and set all Madrid chattering for forty- eight hours, A letter published by one ofhis friends iving reasons for his course 18 amusing enough to translated and published, would space permit, as an evidence of Spanish politics, In this letter Spain was told how the great and mighty soul of Zorrilla was pained by the rise of Sagas! the scandals of his administration an the King’s steady drifting into his arms. Having done so much for the revolution he and his friends were turned out and told by royal lips that they were useful to break down but not to build up. Nay more, upon one occasion, as was solemnly narrated, Zorrilla went to dine at the palace, the occasion being a State dinner. When he came to the table he found, to his horror and grief, that his seat was ten or twelve removed from the King; that all manner of obscure and indifferent peop! le were nearer to royal majest There was the King whose crown he had given him shedding his divin- ity Sy sae people who Eoheniy had promised a) pointments from Isabella or Montpensier in their pockets, while‘he was compelled to absorb his olive oll and his garlic in silence and isolation. Then was his soul moved with a mighty grief, He hurried from the palace, wishing never more to see this heedieas and ungrateful King. The next morning he resigned his seat in the Cortes and retired to his farm, resolved, like Cincinnatus, to have nothin; to do with pupils fe. The retiremen' this meaning, which was unite the republicans and with that there would be civil war. With the Carlists upon one side, whose Tebellion had already strained the utmost efforts of the government to suppress and without avail, what would poor Serrano do were the republicans to rise in the South ? And all the time money affairs were becoming more and more dreadful. Money could ouly be had upon definite collateral security at twenty-five and thirty per cent. The budgets showed deplorable deficits, Cuba was draining the mother country, and affairs began to wear menacin, aspects across the sea, even in America, General Grant was beginning to hold emphatic tone about Cuban matters, and there was something more than appeared upon the surface in the assiduity shown by the American Minister since he returned relative to Houard and other matters, What if forbearance should come to an end in America, and ultramarine troubles come in addition to bankruptcy, mutiny, rebellion and revolution ? FEARS FOR THE DYNASTY—BRAVERY OF THE KING. The general conviction was that the dynasty was atanend, “I give Amadeus thirty days,” said a close observer. ‘We shail then have Alphonso or a republic, Anything but a republic will mean civil war.” As for the King, his fate would be that of Maximilian or Louls Napoleon. But the King, with that courage which commands the admiration of all men, seemed perfectly indifferent to his dange but drove out dally—sometimes alone on hoi back, sometimes with an aid in an open barouche, sometimes with bis wife, but never with a guard, SERRANO'S RESOLVE, Serrano took the government, resolved to save Spain. He announced that he would follow the policy of Sagasta, thereby hoping to conciliate the purchased votes in the Cortes which Sagasta owned and which gave him a majority, He then earnestly took hold of the situation, At a can- vass of the friends of Serrano it was resolved that Spain wouid only be saved in one way. The Cortes would be asked to suspend the constitution. Serrano was to be invested with dictatorial powers. He was to raise money by any tax he close to levy, to borrow at the easiest rates to what extent he pleased, to have command of the army and navy for purposes of order, to suspend the press if he pleased and be in all respects dictator. The mat- ter was debated in the cancus and put into shape. Anannouncement was made that Serrano was to be invested with supreme powers and that he would thus become responsible for the throne, the dy- nasty, public order and the welfare of Spain. And all Madrid broke out into another clatter, which lasted for twenty-four hours, and the radicals be- gan to talk of a convention to settle matters, while the reponucans began to sharpen their swords and talk of war. SERRANO'S INTERVIEW WITH THE KING. In this country no law can be presented to the Cortes without the King’s authority, But Amadeus a constitutional monarch and in the hands of his Ministry, Serrano had not troubled him with any preliminary discussion of the proposed meas- ures, Yesterday the decree was duly prepared, the machinery of the debate arranged, and the measure was to be given to the Cortes at two. Atnoon Ser- Tano went to the palace with his brand-new decree, and there ensued this conversation :— SERRANO—May it please Your Majesty, here 1s a bill we mean to submit to the Cortes, and Iam re- tty by the Cabinet to ask Your Majesty's au- thority. "AMADEUS (reading the decree) —Is this nota grave matter ? SERRANO—Yes, Your Majesty, a Rig grave mat- ter. But the condition of Spain, you know, &c. AmMapEUS—You say the Cabinet has considered and resolved upon this as Spain’s only salvation ? fi Alpi 4 true, Your Majesty. 5 Amaprus—Weill, let the Cabinet come to tho palace to-morrow, and we can have a council and talk it over, and can fully understand the situation, SeRraNo—But, Your Majesty-— AmMapE(S—But I would have it so. To-day Cabinet met in solemn session, Amadeus in the chair, It was talked over at great length. Spain's danger, duties and necessitics were can- vassed, and nothing could save Spain but the decree. And in the end the matier took shape of | this kind. AMADEUS—Well, noble gentlemen, I have heard your speeches and have given earnest thought to this subject. You ask me to sign a decree suspend- ing the constitution, Remember, I] have taken an oath to support that constitution, Ihave no right to violate my oath, nor has the Cortes. My obliga- tion ag a man of honor, the traditions of my house and my sense of what becomes my station all speak against this decree. SERRANO (the Cabinet aghast)—But, Your Ma- Jesty, we cannot be responsible for order unless this | Is done, AMADEUS—Noble gentlemen, when my grand- father, Charles Albert, was asked to sign a decree of this kind, and was urged to do so by Austria and Engiand, he declined. He said if he could not sign according to law he would abdicate. Rather than sign this decree I would sign my abdication. SERRANO (Cabinet in a state of mental nitro- glycerine explosion)—It only remains for us, then, to ask Your Majesty to ACC Axapnus—Be ft 5 And so dissolved the Serrano Cabinet which was to save Spain. It had lived ten days, At two o'clock the Cortes, which met to pass the bill, was informed that the Ministry had resigned. Ali Madrid poured into the streets and would have clattered until daybreak but for the thunderstorm which broke upon the city, not in itself unlike the political thunderstorm which now agitates Spain to its frou- tiers and excites the atvention of the world, FEDERAL COUNOIL OF INTERNATIONALS, The General Council of London Suspends the English Speaking Sections of the United States—A Strike from the Atlan- R RESIGNATIONS, tie to the Pacific by the Plasterers To- Day for Eight Hours, The Federa! Councii of Internationals held a meet- ing yesterday at 120 Spring street, Citizen Little presiding. Fifteen delegates of various Sections were pres- ent.

The Ascot Cup Day—Presence of Illustrious Per- sonages—All the Aristocracy on the Lawn~ The Fashions—The Prince of Wales’ Bets— Total Defeat of Sterling, the Would-Be Rival of Harry Bassett—Over- throw of Favonius, the Derby ‘Winner—Other Surprises. Lonpon, June 15, 1872, The Ascot meeting was brought to a close yester- day, and never perhaps in the history of the Eng- lsh turf was Ascot crowned with greater success. The weather during the latter part of the week was beautiful, and on the great day of the meeting— that devoted to the cup, one of our chief for horses that can stay—there was such a gathering ofthe aristocracy as is seldom seen even at this, the most lonable gathering of the season, Goodwood not excepted. Thursday is a day for “Ascot State,” and it was pleasant to witness the honest enthusiasm with which the Prince and Prip- cess of Wales were greeted as they drove up the course. They usually hire for the week Titness Park, @ house about five miles from the course, preferring it to Windsor, for the reason that her Majesty greatly dislikes racing, though while the Prince Consort was alive—and he did not care for the turf—they rarely missed attending an Ascot meeting as a duty of royalty. In the semi-state used on such occasions the illustrious personages drive to the stand set apart for them in four or five carriages, with four horses each, preceded by out- riders in gorgeous liveries, and by the master of the buckhounds, the Earl of Cork, dressed in a green coat with brass buttons, and a green cord round his neck, from which is suspended the bugle apper- taining to his office. The first carriage contained the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of Edin- burg, and Prince Arthur; the second, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Teck, and the others the ladies and gentlemen in attendance. THE ROYAL COUPLE were loudly cheered as they drove along the course, this being their second appearance on an English racecourse since their long Continental tour, under- taken for the establishment of the Prince of Wales’ health after his serious illness, and of that of the Princess, impaired by her devoted attendance on her husband, The scene presented on the lawn when the proceedings commenced was brilliant in the extreme. England and nearly all its wealth and fashion were present, and the toilets of the ladles showed @ wealth of fancy and taste altogether beyond description. For the benefit of your readers of the gentler sex I may mention that this year the prevailing color is blue, though it did not show a very marked predominance, We have anew tint here at present which is very fashionable, and in which blue and green are so equally mixed that it is diMcult to say whether it should be described as a blue-green or a green-blue, Maroon is also greatly In vogue, and a new color, which may best be likened to bronze, is frequently seen, and when trimmed with a lighter hue or the same—say saf- fron—is certainly striking. The polenaise of white, drab or maize, without sleeves, was greatly worn over dresses of pronounced tint Such as bluc, sink, maroon, wolet or purple, but costumes of all one color, from‘ the boots to the bonnet, were also seen all over the lawn. There were numerous cases in which the silk of the dress was covered wit) muslin, and many ladies aifected cloth jackets claborately trimmed with gold braid. Several elegant costumes were of black, with broad Sashes of blue or yellow, and bonnets to match; and I observed that broad stripes of black velvet running down the skirt were worn in some in- stances and with considerable effect. Veils of tulle covering the face and tied behind, whence re sweep over the shoulders are de rigueur, and feathers of the same color as the dress are in fashion. Copcaite the extensive range of stands was drawn up long line of four-in-hands belonging to our two coaching clubs—coaching is a variety of sporting greatly in vogue among our “men about town, and is decidedly on the increase—and there was almost as intch wealth, heel and fashion gathered on the roofs of these asin the royal lawn itself, Among the other notable persongges et ent were the Burmese Ambassadors, done up in all the glory of their Eastern costume, and though few ofour “swells” had the courage to talk to them they appeared to be perfectly at their ease, and moving about apn re Bay throng, smoking ciga- rettes, evidently took a deep interest in the sport. One of the principal events of Tuursday was ANOTHER COLLAPSE OF STERLING, who was at one time called “the best horse in England,” was valued by his owner at £10,000, and Was very nearly matched against your champion, Harry Bassett, In my last letcer I told you how, on ‘Thursday, he waseasily beaten by Albert Victor for Her Majesty's gold vase, over two miles—a defeat witch clearly proved that he was no stayer, the very point as to which we had always been in doubt; for though he had won several races over short courses, he had never been publicly run over long ones. His raceon Thursday for the Al Ages Stakes was a test of speed for the dis- tance, was only about five furlongs and a half, and, enough, he seeneey, disgraced himself even there. He had only two op- ponents, that magnificent “roarer,” Prince Charlie, winner of the Two Thousand Guineas, who, iike him- self, cannot stay, but has a wonderful dash of speed, and Wenlock, who ran fourth for the Derby, but on Tuesday was easily beaten for the Prince of Wales’ Stakes, won by Queen’s Messenger. Even money was now laid on Sterling, but he had never the host of a chance with either of his opponents, for, laying his ears back like a thorough coward, he re- fused to try, and the race was won by Prince Charlie, who beat Wenlock by three lengths. It is now evi- dent that Sterling has turned a rogue, and, instead of being worth £10,000, might be more beige valued, even for stud purposes, at about £2,000, Another singular race was that in which the Make- shift colt (by Young Melbourne), who, to the aston- ishment of everybody, almost beat Cremorne for the Derby, was TOTALLY DEFEATED by Khedive. It will be remembered that the Make- shift colt, who was never heard of until afew days before the Derby, started for that race at the long odds of 50 to 1, but at the finish came with such a tremendous dash that he almost caught Cremorne on the post. Asit was he was beaten by only a head, and in another stride would have won, For the Ninth Biennial, on Thursday, | odds of 7 to were laid on him against his solitary opponent, Khedive, but at the distance, when it came to racing, he rolled all over the course and on to Khedive, who had almost to carry home him as weil as his jockey, and con- sequently wou by only ancck. The Makeshift coit is also apparently a rogue, but he has only ron twice and may get over his infirmity. race of the day and of the meeting, the Ascot Cup, was as GREAT A SURPRISE. Favonius, who was made a tremedous favorite, won | last year’s Derby, and has always shown excellent form over loug courses, and so highly was he thought of that, it is reported, his owner, Baron Rotosehild, refuses an offer £12,000 for him, Hannah, also a noted stayer and winner of the One Thousand Guineas, Oaks and St, Leger, was started merely to make running for Favonius, Shannon was at one time as fine a stayer as any we had, and won the Good- wood Cup, beating the great Mortimer and Favo- of late she has shown but indifferent nius, bu form.

The Journeymen Barbers—Exciting Sce: The journeymen barbers, who lately formed a unton to strike for a reduction of the hours of lsh6r from sixteen to twelve hours per day, met at the Teutonia Assembly Rooms yesterday afternoon to discuss the results of the strike, in which, it ap- Pears, they have been as successful as could be ex- pected. Mr. Simon Corbett presided, and after some discussion on a question as to whether the Faccceines should not be conducted in the Eng- sh language, which was decided in the negative, Mr. August HEUPEL delivered an address, expos- ing the treacherous conduct of some of the mem- bers in continuing to work on the old system. He severely reprimanded 4 certain class of men who had been found working: on Saturday night at eleven o'clock, instead of knocking otf work at ten o'clock, os peceiped by the Union, and at one o’clock’ P. M. on Sundays, instead of closing shop at twelve noon. He urged that in order to carry out the object of the newly formed Union it would be necessary to agree to a compromise. Mr. KAEMMERER, the Vice President of the Union, who next addressed tiie meeting, also argued that under all circumstances it would be necessary to agree, at least temporarily, to a compromise. Mr. HuvurEL, the Secretury, proposed to offer the employers @ compromise extending the houra of work on Sundays from twelve o’ciock noon till one o'clock P. M. resolution was finally passed to ap- wint a conference committee to wait upon the osses, Who were assembled at the same time in the same building, offering a com- promise sep ‘oposedl. The committee was composed Of Messrs Heupel, Kaemmerer, Hehn, Stief, Koer- ber, Gerberg and others, who at once proceeded to the employers’ meeting and subsequently returned in astate of great excitement, denouncing loudly the conduct of the employers as brutal. They reported that the employers wowd not only not listen to ane cumpromise, but that " they had acted a brutal manner toward the committee, After a long and exciting debate a resolution was passed declaring that the men she!l remain tirmin their demands of what are thelr Just dues, The Employing Barbers—Almost a Row The employing barbers were assembled in another room of the Teutonia Assembly Rooms also, dis- cussing the question of a compromise with the journeymen. Mr. Peter Martin presided, and after several addresses advocating ® compromise, & committee was appointed to receive the conference committee of the journeymen. When the committee of the journeymen entered, and seats having been offered to the members on the platform, the meeting was addressed on behalf of the committee by Mr. Aug. Heupel, stating that the Journeymen’s Union had agreed to offer a com- promise, extending the hours of labor by one hour either on Saturdays or on Sundays. When the committee had retired the proposal of the jonrney- men was subjected toa debate, and Mr. Willet in- troduced a resolution rejecting the same, which, after an animated discussion, was adopted by an unanimous vote, The committee of the jurneymen was rocalled and informed of the action taken, Some sarcastic remarks on the subject by the Chairman of the committe, Mr. Heupel, was taken as an insult, creatingin @ moment great indignation and ex- citement, and the journeymen left the room in dis- gaat, making remarks expressive of thelr extreme indignation, This conduct so incensed the em- ployers to such a degree that for a time a row seemed imminent, which, however, was evaded by the speedy withdrawal of the journeymen. THE LONDON BUILDERS LOCK-OUT. ae aa The Labor Question in the British Me- tropolis=The Masters Assuming the Offensive—The Crisis of the Struggle— The Employers Lacking Harmony of Action. {From the London Telegraph, June 20.) The determined and now openly hostile contest between operatives aud employers in the building trade has actually passed into its second stage, Yesterday the masters assumed the offensive, and in a considerable number of instances pro- ceeded to the extremity of a lock-out. The tactics which they pursued did not indicate a great degree of concert. Some dismissed their men in the morning soon after the dinner hour, but most of the large firma allowed them to finish thelr day's work, Some proceeded by verbal intimation, some by posting up a written notice and others by ex- planation of their motioes, which in a few cases was accompanied by expressions of regret that tue dis- pute had not been amicably arranged. Asa rule the whole scope of the resolution passed at the ree Masons’ Tavern was enfor and masons, brick- layers, plasterers had to p up with the car- nters. There were exceptions, however, in which either o partial or delayed effec was given to the decree of the Builders’ Assoc tion, At the Brown Bear last evening there were numerous comments made on the diversity of re- | they refuse ports brought In from the several shops and jobs closed during the day. No two consecutive state- ments were alike either as to the manner in wh! the men had been treated or the impression i had received as to the real feeling of their respe ive employers. Promptest action seems to have been taken b; the firm of Messrs. Coils & Son, at Vamberwell. As- poe gery their men at eleven o'clock they subimit- ted to them a document which, if accepted, would have pledged them to give no support to the men on strike* at Messrs, Brass’ and Jackson & Shaw’s. This was tendered as an alternative to a lock-out, and some discussion upon it ensued. The pledge was firmly declined, A lock-out was there- upon declared, without any allowance, it was said, for “grinding hours.” That claim, which rests upon @ general though capricious custom of the trade, stands in lieu of notice to quit. Its brevity is a legal consequence of the prinelple of payment by the hour, which has been constiued by the imas- ters in London, with some sanction from legal de- cisions, as dispensing with the necessity for notice. On the men’s side the right which prevatls awong other classes of laborers has not been very strongiy insisted upon, Even before the hour system, short notice was a sore and often a hard subject. On the initiation of payment by the hour there was a tacit agreement that @ quarter day’s notice | should be given. It has since been curtatled, vvitii- | out any specific resistance from the men, to two hours. There are shops where it has been cut down toa single hour. Its “grinding” title it de- | rives from the peculiar occupation to which it is supposed to be devoted, A carpenter is expect | to enter a new service with his tools in perfect order, and ready for immediate use. The new cin- ace being exempted by trade etiquette trom joss of time through first besa it has natu- rally to fallon the old employer, During the last two hours that a carpenter ia In a shop he {4 | really preparing for the next place he may | go to, The curtaliment from a quarter day to | two hours was not the last modification. In- | | dividual firms may make it arule for themsel to allow only one hour, or they may apply dif times to different works, Tie men’s legal claim is disowned in theory yy Many masters, but only one instance has occurred of its being practic jected, Aseraple about incurring the odin of quarreisome tactics may very possibly restrain the men from using the opportunity which has been given them of Inviting a judicial decision, A rea- sonable amount of notice is stipulated for by the draft code of working rules, aud that points yore in the direction from which a settlement ts likew to come. The second lock-out reported to the delegation was that of Messrs. Myers & Son. When the men returned from dinner they were told that their wages were waiting for them. ‘bhey applied, and were paid up to three o'clock, which included two “grinding hours.” The chairman of the Mast vs’ Committce—Mr, Hannen, of Messrs. Holland & Hannen, Bloomsbury—notified his intention to close during the afternoon. The action of Messrs. _ Henshaw & Sons was looked for by the delezates with peculiar anxtety. Throughout the day there Was little doubt that the shop would be closed, and | found out many errors afterward, | was an error in t | been carted away, w and analf. A | tion on the master's resolntion, He has locked ont in due form, but with material reservations, He holds, for instance, that “improvers’ do not cone within the range of trades’ union disputes, and be will Sooorainays keep ou that class of his men, He does not view the jurisdiction of the Buliders’ Asse- | ciation a8 extondmg to the provinces, and so the heavy contracts he tas there will proceed under special arrangement. ‘The mast-rs’ resolution did not specify ‘‘bricklayers” among the classes to be locked out, and in this particular instance i¢ will be assumed that they are not concerned in the dispute, A strain has been applied to the ment by other employers in respect of time, ‘those have deferred closing their shops until the end of the wor! week—Friday night, It.would be has- ardous to attempt to pete a negative from the ims rfect details which have yet been coll he lock-out cannot be ascertained to have covet @ large amount of ground as yet. At the end of week it may be far more general.

Another Stupendous Job Comes to Light—A Por- tion of Montgomery Street Sunk in the Swamp—Half a Million of the Public Money Thrown Away—Who Will Be Held Liable+-What Mr, Stadiup Says, . wit TY, Sowers ibe"! ™ The Herat of the isth of September Inst blew the first blast that awoke the people of Jersey City from their lethargy while the city was pene plundered by a combination now known throughon' the entire country as the “Bumsted Ring.” The fret. chapter of the Jersey City frauds was published on that day, and chapter after chapter followed, till the people became alarmed, and they appealed to the Legislature for redress. The Legislature was deaf to the cry of relief, and obeyed faithfully the behests of the ‘ring’ by declining to interfere with their schemes of plunder, Yet the story of Jersey Olty’s wrongs was continued in the HERALD till a de- liverer—the faithful Judiclary—came to the rescue. The memorable charge of Judge Bedle, the finding of the unparalleled number of 148 indictments against city officials by the ntost honest Grand Jury ever empanelled in Hudson county, the trial, conviction and sentence of the Police Commission- ers and the incarceration of Bumsted himself in the State Prison, are facta not only fresh in the public mind but likely to be remembered for many years. And yet the Investigation into the munict- pal frauds is simply suspended, not by any means exhausted, pending tho trial of the indictments now in the District Attorney's office. The fate of Bumsted struck terror into the hearts of the city officials, and they are now moving very cautiously in all their transactions. The high- handed proceeding of opening or improving streets inspite of the remonstrance of a majority of the Bropere owners, and which the Head Centre designated one of the peculiarities of the charter, has not been repeated recently. No more threats of extermination against the small holders are in- duiged in, No more houses are to be pulled sons over the heads of thrifty occupants i sell out. The man who three years ago boasted that he would drive out every poor holder, especially if he were Irish, and who pledged himself that no Irish- man should receive a seat in any of the commis- sions, was overtaken by @ speedy retribution, though the reilection «fords but a poor consolation to the tens, nay hundreds, of industrious poor peo- le who are today homeless chiefly through his instrumentality. A vel important chapter of the mnnicipal frauds—the Montgomery street job—is here given for the first time. The people of Jersey City will hardly believe that the construction of this to street—about half a mile in length—has cost the city the round sum_ of $600,000, and yet such is the fact. But what will be their amazement when they learn that after this vast expenditure there 1s no street there to day. ‘This sounds like a paradox, and to those unac- quainted with tho manner in which things are sometimes done in Jersey it reads like a huge joke, But in this age of wonders people are becomin; once more credulous and more patient when their curiosity is excited. A large portion of this $600,000 job, a pile of masonry thrown up in the midst ga swamp, having an elevation in some places of twenty-live feet, dissappeared in the night, like one of the enchanted cities of old, about six weeks ago! It melted away, to all appearance, under the heavy rains prevailing at that time. The massive walls, which had been yy iron rods, sank into the mud, and a pile of yellow earth now marks where Montgomery street, the $600,000 job, once stood. ‘The walls were constructed with cement, to the width of from ten to fourteen feet at the bottom and from six to eight feet at the top. The space between the walls forming the street was filled in with earth, and the whole mass rested on an expansive flooring of piles and planking, ex- peed Wa entire length of the new thorongh- fare. Mr. O’Beirne, a civil engineer, who furnished much valuable information to the Grand Jury, made an examination of the ae of rubbish, and has prepared a lengthy report in reference to it. He showed that the cumbrous structure could not re- main long in its peertons and he accordingly warned several city officials when the work was com- menced against having the work carried out ac- cording to the plan then adopted. ‘The following items, copled from the records of the Board of Public Works in regard to this job, will prove instructive :— Denis Byrnes, grading and retaining wall west of TT ee bea ed 098 it Ki Jenking slont, piles and flooring 6 Jacob Perrine, abutments for tron bridge at the foot of the hill........... sn F.

Total... $565,050 ‘These figures fal! short of the actual expenditure, as they are taken from the published records of the Board of Public Works from ae to December, both included in the year 1871, and from the records of that Board and the Board of Aldermen for parts of 1870, 1871 and 1872, As the street will be con- | structed at all hazards, however, the people may | a8 well prepare themselves for another outlay. The great guest ion arises, should the city be held re- sponsible for the cost of this work, which has proved a failure? The principle has not yet been ac- cepted that the public shall pay for the biunders and mistakes of engineers, surveyors or contractors. There was a time in Jersey City when the bondsmen of a defaulter in a case like this would be held toaccount. But there is not a single instance in the administration of the Board of Public Works where the bondsman of any con- tractor, surveyor or other official was sued, al- though there have been lta defaults. ‘The part of this business which may prove a very serious matter for the members 0! e Board of Public Works at the next session of the Grand Jury is that the Board continues to pay out money for the sewer which sank with the street. The people will have to pay for another sewer there in a very short time to supply the place of that for which they are now paying. Tho HeRALp represen- tative called on Mr, Startup, the successor of Mr. Bumated a8 chairman of the Committee on Streets, in relation to this question of payment and reapon- sibility. Mr. Startup’s laconic answer w: Some- body will have to pay for it.” He added that it would be hardiy fair to hold the present contractore to account, as the fault lay with the men who d vised and carried out the dooring and piling p! In fact, the whole job was a part of the legacy be- queathed to the consolidated city by the ol porgen ring, which, for that matter, is identical with the ring that expired in the Court of Oyer and Ter- miner @ few weeks ago. Mr. Startup admitted that there were many grave mistakes made and much money misappited, but he never, he said, voted knowingly for anything wrong, though he e had intro- duced many wholesome reforms Into his depart- ment, and he would henceforward aim at economy. The conversation turned on the coal contracts. | Mr. Plympton, the representative of the Pavonia Club in the late Legisiature, was awarded a con- tract for five hundred tons of coal at $6 60 a ton, when 4 well-known firm offered to supply it for $5 90, In that instance competition was totally discarded after the bids were received, and a resolution was adopted au- thorizing the le to award the contract at thelr discretion, Startup argued that there ppltcation of the lowest bidder. ‘There is one at which claims some attention from the Street Department of the new reform ad- ministration. Some contractors have reaped rich profits by carting away sand from one street t i impr course — of yvement to another, an the city would be oharged for the filling material in both places.
