Tax Sronu Yestenpay.—Yesterday, all day, an extensive storm prevailed in the South and West, with high winds and heavy rainfall in some sections. The same storm is reported as advancing towards this region, and may be looked for, therefore, to-day. The setting im of the May rains, so well known for their destructive, inundating effecta, is prompt and early this year, find it looks as if the Southern States and the Missis- sippi basin will have an abundance of rain. The Rocky Mountain snows will hardly dis- solve before their usual time for melting—the 1st of Jane—when, if the Western rivers are atall well up in their banks, serious floods may result. An extraordinary rise of the river at Nashville was reported yesterday afternoon, and it is not unlikely that this will be followed by other easily flooded rivers. Last month the gumber of rainy days exceeded that of thé clear days, and it is usual to expect sbout the same condition of weather for May. Tae Dorce Wan m Asta.—The Colonial Minister of Holland informed the Parliament yesterday that the government expeditionary army, lately operating against the Acheenese, had re-embarked on the vessels of the royal Sect lying off the city, and that the men were mot molested by the enemy during the opera- tion, This is an exceedingly nice way of put- ting the matter of a rotreat and is highly com- plimentary to the good breeding and military esprit of the Asiatics. They rank, in both qnalities, fag shave the Modacs. The First Hours of the Great Expo- sition—Our Pen Pictures and Greet- ings from Vienna, While the great world-gathering at the capital of the Austrian Empire was holding high festival yesterday in the glorious temple devoted to the cause of universal progress the genius of the Hznaxp correspondents and ‘the wonderful powers of the ocean cable were quiety preparing a practical illustration of those mighty achievements of science, those grand triumphs of the human intellect, which are mpidly drawing the people of all nation- alities and of all climes into a close and com- mon brotherhood. Even at the very moment in which tongues were busy in Vienna dis- cussing in every language of the globe the incidents of the earliest moments of an expo- sition that seeks to bring into communion the thought, the labor and tho genius of the world, in order that by discussion and compar- ison they may work out benefits for all humanity, the little wire under the sea was flashing through three thousand miles of ocean those graphic descriptions of the scene and those happy thoughts of some of the actors which are eagerly read in America to-day. Yesterday German greeted German in the streets of the Austrian capital, in the splendid walks of the Peater, or within the walls of the building now des tined to become historical, conveying hearty congratulations to each other upon this hap- piest festival of the goddess of the opening Spring. To-day two of the most eloquent tongues in Fatherland speak words of greeting and affection to their countrymen across the Atlantic, through the columns of the American press, and bid them share in the rejoicings of their kindred at home. Yesterday the Arch- duke Charles, standing beneath the splendid dome of the Prater building, welcomed the Emperor of Austria to ‘‘the halls devoted to the peaceful progress of mankind through culture and labor.” To-day his words and the imperial reply meet the eyes of millions of people all over the world. So here in New York, as in other places thousands of miles from Vienna, the mighty power of the electric telegraph and the enterprise of the modern press are illustrating to-day in a practical manner the fact that all the world may soon become a Universal Exposition, and that the pegples, although divided by mountains and oceans, may ere long be drawn together in a community of thought and interest and progress as effectually as their representatives were yesterday drawn together beneath the dome of the Austrian palace. Yesterday was not an auspicious day at Vienna, so far as the weather was concerned, for the opening of the great Exposition. The balmy air and genial sunshine which ordi- narily greet the Austrians as they pour in multitudes into their glorious park to cele- brate the May festival were wanting. The beautiful Prater—beantiful in joy or sorrow— lay cold and sobbing and in tears in the out- stretched arms of the ruffled but loving Danube. Why was it that the clouds gathered darkly over the brow of heaven, that the rain came down and that the wind sighed sadly through the trees on this event- fal day? Did the spirit of War, once so proud of the martial fame of Austria, mourn for the humiliations of the past, and grieve at the coming triumph of peace? Could the tears and the sighs have been called forth by the dis- graceful sight of the flag of the Western Re- public, the sheet anchor of the oppressed of all nations, flying, union down, over a closed American department, ‘dark, barren and dingy, like an abandoned railway town on the plains?’ Might not some imagi- native and doubting German mind have discerned in the incident of the unfavorable weather a bad omen for the tran- quillity of Europe, a portent that foretold a troubled close to the great carnival of peace? No doubts or fears, however, seem to have troubled the minds of the masses of people who flocked to the scene of the day’s event— the opening of the Exposition building—and the weather appears to have been the only depressing feature of the hour. It was, per- haps, natural for the English temper to be ruffled by the rain and the wind and the cold, and we are not surprised that, seen from an English standpoint, the picture looked all as dreary as the weather and as unenjoyable as the inauguration of President Grant. The bold Briton loves his comfort, and although his darling London spreads over him a con- stant moisture of rain, sleet and fog, he re- serves his inalienable right to grumble at cloudy skies elsewhere. At home, where the sun is seldom seen, he arms himself with an umbrella as naturally as an Indian on the warpath arms himself with his scalping knife; but away from home, where he expects sunshine and discards his umbrella, what right has the sky to be over- cast and the rain to fall? The gay crowds that flocked to the Prater evidently did not cherish such feelings, for they seem to have defied the elements in their determination to do honor to the momentous event. The scene is brought vividly before our eyes by our cable despatches, and we can almost picture it as an occurrence of yester- day in our own city, sographically is the story told. We can imagine the day, with its fitful gusts of cold wind, the ruffled, leaden waters of the Danube, the rustling, trembling trees, the flags flapping angrily over the wings of the gigantic edifice. We can see the gayly dressed crowds thronging the magnificent Ringstrasse, passing over the sus- pension bridge, along the noble Praterstrasse into the park, and down the principal avenue, with its rows of stately trees. An orderly con- course it is, as becomes the city; no boister- ousness or vivacity, except at intervals where @ group of some more excitable nationality is passing along ; an entire absence of that nec- essary ingredient of a British crowd, called “chaff.”’ Stepping inside the building, under the grand dome, we can behold the gathering ot the motley crowd in a variety of costumes ; the men of the East and of the West; rich uniforms, velvets, silks, satins, gold and silver braids, furs and laces. We can hear the mur- mering sound of the mingled voices during the interval of waiting, the outbreak of a noise like breakers on» shore, as the arrival of the Emperor is foreshadowed ; and then the roar- ing tempest of cheers as the bands strike up the national air, and the royal party enters the space reserved for them. As they take their seats we can picture the sudden flowing around them of the gorgeous uniforms and costumes of the royal household, until the reserved gpace is filled and a border of richly OO dressed court flunkies trims its edges. We can fancy the embarrassed formal address and reply, always stupid, always inaudible ; the general look of relief when they are concluded, and then the free and easy breaking up and wandering around the building. Wo can even single out in our mind’s eye the individual members of the imperial party; the sad-looking Emperor, his pleasing and gentle wife, the stolid-looking German princes and the jovial heir to the British Crown, who would, probably, have been well pleased to break loose from the party and join the group of his British subjects whose cheers he recognized above all the welcomes. It is the true art of journalism to bring these scenes home to the mind’s eye of the reader, and this has been accomplished in our special cable histories to-day. If our pen-pictures of the scenes of yester- day are of unusual interest, the stirring words of Berthold Auerbach and Louise MiihIbach to their German countrymen in America are equally pleasant and valuable. Although the former is not present at the great world-gath- ering; although he writes from a verdant val- ley of that Black Forest around which his stories have thrown so deep an interest, now that his essay is before us we feel that without it our story of the opening of the Exposition would have been incomplete. His words call to mind the true philosophy of the great event which attracts the atten- tion of the world. Each contribution to this collection of the world’s achievements, how- ever important in its way, appears in itself trifling amid the great aggregation. “Yet it is one sound, one accord of the great symphony,” and its mame is _ labor. This is the lesson which Berthold Auerbach learns from the Exposition, and when he pic- tures Benjamin Franklin walking through its halls and pausing before the electric tele- graph now made to speak through thousands of miles of ocean, he only points out' to the mind what unforeseen results labor and the interchange of thought may yet have in store for fature generations. So also of Louise Mihlbach’s earnest words to her German sisters in America; without them there would be a blank in our varied and graphic account of the great event. It needed her grace- foland earnest pen to point the moral of the great carnival of peace; to draw the con- trast between the contests of the battle field and the contests of ideas and labor ; to tell the united rulers of Europe that they must take with them from Vienna the lesson that the arta of peace are mightier than the glory of destruction ; to urge, in glowing words, upon her sisters in America the duty of laboring in the cause of universal peace. We point with pride and satisfaction to the great triumph of journalism secured by the Henratp to-day. It marks another forward step in the already brilliant career of the American press. We have brought before the eyes of the American people in varied.and graphic histories the events of yesterday in the Aus- trian capital, and we have given to the Germans in America the May greetings of their most distinguished countrymen ht this interesting moment. We offer the Hznatp of to-day as a contribution to the great Exposi- tion, for it, indeed, affords as striking an illustration of the progress of the world as can be given by any exhibitor, Resignation of the Italian Ministry, The action of the Italian Parliament in voting, on the 30th ultimo, a War Office appro- Priation of large amount for the building of an arsenal at Taranto, in opposition to the wishes and remonstrance of the Ministry, has produced a Cabinet crisis in Rome. The members of the Lanza government tendered the resignation of their portfolios to King Vic- tor Emmanuel yesterday. His Majesty ac- cepted the act. The Crown is, consequently, engaged in the work of constructing a new administration. The Parliament has ad- journed until Monday, at the request of the ex-Premier, who has intimated that an official reorganization may possibly ensue. This may happen, or, on the other hand, the King may be compelled to call in the aid of new advisers. The legislative majority is evidently of a war-stripe policy. The nation is burdened with debt, and the people complain of the rigor and weight of the royal taxation. The army eats up a huge amountof the fruits of the in- dustry of the country, and, even under such circumstances, it is proposed to increase the military establishment. ‘The Italian radicals imagine that they perceive the darkening shade of what may come to be a war cloud jn the East. They are congregating in Rome for the purpose of endeavoring to prevent a mon- archist consolidation in that direction. Signors Lanza and Sella appreciate the difficulty and wish to stand still. The occurrence of a Min- isterial crisis in Italy, under such circum- stances, is a sevious event, a fact which is completely acknowledged by the contents of our telegrams from the Eternal City. A Casz ror Our Youna Men's CurisTun Assoctation.—It is not the case of the Modocs, for they are past praying for; but it is the case of the monks at the holy places near Jeru- salem, the Latin monks and the Greek monks, who from quarrelling have proceeded to fight- ing. Several serious fights are reported be- tween these two orders of monks, resulting in ‘*cracked crowns and bloody noses.’’ These hostilities must be stopped, or the Mohamme- dans, who rule the country, will step in, and then the Emperor of Russia may again have a word to say on the subject, and then the East- ern question comes up once more, and the ‘sick man’ of Turkey may have to leave. ‘Who can tell? The destinies of nations are bound up in the preservation of peace among ,| the Greeks and Latins at these holy places of the Holy Land. Sr, Pererspure and Tue Peace Prospect tw Evropz.—According to the Provinzial Cor- respondenz the meeting of Emperor William and the Czar Alexander means peace. It con- firms the peace policy agreed to by the Empe- rors of Russia, Germany and Austria in Sep- tember of last year. This, according to the Berlin Journal, is significant, because the pros- pects of continued quiet in Western Europe had been gloomy. The festivities in St. Petersburg continue; and while the people are putting forth their strength and the power of the press is overshadowing thronesand crowns, two Northern Emperors are vainly imagining that they rule the world. We are not sorry to learn that the Emperors mean peace, but we are more pleased to think that the Emperors cannot help it. Die deutsche Correspouden des Berald ans Wien.

Tae Caurcues axp Crercy Contron Bru proposed by the German government has been finally passed by the Prussian Dict. The members of the Upper House of the Legislature have agreed to its provisions by a large majority. The enactment applies to the Roman Catholic and Evangelical churches equally, and is opposed, with almost equal intensity, by the clergy of both communions and their friends. Its operation under Bis- marck will consequently give rise to very many exciting crises in the course of the prog- ress of the politico-canonical history of the day. Tae “Lost Cavse’’ Loomma Ur m Texas.—It is reported that a resolution in- troduced in the Texas Legislature, inviting President Grant to visit the State in the course of his projected but subsequently abah- doned Southern excursion was voted down by large majority, and that on the next day a resolution was offered and passed inviting Jefferson Davis to visit the State, and that Davis has accepted the invitation. They are a peculiar people, those people of Texas. Actrvg Operations AGarnst CapTarx Jack are suspended while our troops on the ground are awaiting reinforcements.
