JAPAN. - it Radical Democratic Rebellion Against Unj Taxation, Aristocracy and High Bent, Ten Thousand Men Assault s Feuda' Castle— tte pot yet learned ee extae Nagasaky, July 1, 1878, Aneriovs outbreak among the jower class of the people has just taken place at Fukuoka, in the Province of Tsikusen. HISTORY OF THE MOVEMENT. to the numbér of'several thousands, ana armed themselves with spears and swo: baving no eee ve uses, 0, Soke eee, oat a was pene trom @ neighborn: gt, but these were for some time unable to cope with the rebels, who advanced within a short distance of the town of Torigoye. Here they set fire to and destroyed a hool, j-the schoolmaster and many pupils, the latest reports the riots bad not yet been it down, but the rioters were scattered about in parties, still destroying and ravaging. We it is probabiy owing to the barge iavue BRL ee cessive rice tax. THE PERUVIAN MINISTER, having settled the Maria Lua tase to. the Mutual satisfaction of both by leaving it tion, is negotiating a treat: Japan. Captain Garcia anticlpates no difficulty in this matter. But I strongly opine the Japs will endeavor to erase the “ exterritorial clause.” AS Peru has no subjects here, this will not-be of vital importance to, her, but it would be @ bad prece- lent; for the Japanese are by no means rear Ny nd Prepared to, administer anything likefcivilized law, although their immoderate vanity makes them think that they are. On the 2ist inst. 10,000 men, mostly farmers, After maning « treaty here, the Peruvian Lega- a. armed with bamboo spears, assisted by former Daimio retainers, armed with swords, and under the leadersnip of some thirty memon horseback, attacked the government Castle at Fukuoka, They readily effected an entrance, and.set fire to the buildings and destroyed all the oficial books and papers. Six oMcers are reported killed and four are said to have died by their own hands, by cutting open their bowels, as they saw the rebels overpowering them, Three officers only escaped, and fled to Laga, a city but sixty miles above Nagasaki; from ‘whence the first news reached us, THE TELEGRAPH LINB which has recently been completed from this port to Yokohama, and which unfortunately passes through Tsikusen, was utterly destroyed. The overland mail road was blockaded and is not yet cleared, so that all information is obtained slowly and with diMculty. BULLETINS FROM THE SCENE OF ACTION. Late in the afternoon of the 2ist a Japanese Steamer, with a foreign captain and engineer, arrived at this place with the information that the day before they had anchored three miles. of Hakata, a harbor in the disaffected province. They were met by the natives in boats, who warned them not to stop or land, However, several from the steamer pro- posed tosee what the trouble was, and accord- ingly went onshore. Here they found the people im an excited state, and they were threatened with death if they attempted to proceed. Discovering that the place was barricaded, they returned to the During the night they saw the town and all the adjoining villages for many miles in Names, INCENDIARISM FOR REFORM. ‘The plan of the insurgents: was to burn the houses of all who refused to join them, Thousands were thus daily addedto their number, until at Jast accounts the entire province, with few excep- tions, had risen. The number 1s reported by the best native authorities te have reached the alarm: ing figure of at least one hundred and fifty thousand, This wiil not appear overstated when it is understood that the whole region is densely populated, , PLUNDER WITHOUT BLOOD. There seems to have been, as far as can be learned, ‘but little bloodshed, although rich mer- chants and native banks were plundered of all the money that could be found. NATIVE TROOPS fave been despatched from Higo and Nagasaki, and latest reports say that the rebels have become more quiet, and it is hoped that the trouble is Mainly over; yet nothing definite can be known until the soldiers succeed in opening the roads. Re- ports also state that there has been a skirmish and 300 rebels killed. THE CAUSE OF THE DISTURBANCE, as far as can be learned, is as follows:— The government has heretofore required the taxes 01 the agricultural classes to be paid in whatever kind of produce they may raise or manu- facture, be it rice, wheat, tobacco or silk. But this year nearly, If not all, the tax must be rendered in actual money. The rainy season nas almost ex- pired, and scarcely any rain has fallen. Rice re- quires to be kept flooded for some time; there- tore the rice crop, which is well known to be the universal article of diet in Japan as in Uhina, will be, probably, a failure. n the 18th of June the farmers, as is the custom, met the rice merchants to consult in regard to the prices to be expected. The merchants refused to accede to the demands of the producers, and the latter were in a Tage and easily excited by certain influential men among them to revenge themselves both upon the government and the merchants. Treasury Grabs—Texation and Taxpay- ers in Revolt—Financial Reform or Rebellion—Government Routed=What the Indignants Demand—Stealages of Timber from Public Parks—Treaty- Making with Peru. YOKOHAMA, July 7, 1873. No new developments from the Finance Depart ment. The statement made by Wo-Yeno, com- mented upon in my last letter, seems to have ex- hausted the logical power of that functionary, and although the document has been pretty generally assatied, by both the native and foreign press, no mew defence has yet peen offered by the Finance Minister. THE PEOPLE MOVING. Rumors of rebellions reach us {rom several parts of the country. First, we have intelligence of a serious rising in Yesso. It is said that in Awamori Ken there is a rising of some thirty thousand men, and another one at Matsmai, The causes of the risings are said to be the heavy taxation. It may be rememered that there was similar trouble last year, and I am inclined to piace the causes of the | troubles in both years to the extortiong put upon the inhabitants by the Japanese om- cials connected with the Colonization Department. Another serlons disturbance is reported from Fukuoka Ken, in the isiand of Kisbiu, about one hundred and fifty miles from Nagasaki. Here some forty thousand men are in insurrection, only a few of whom are armed with firearms; the rest veing armed with bamboo spears, clubs, &c, They have burned several farmhouses’ of the more wealthy land-renters, destroyed the telegraph wires and Poles and the government storehouses. At first the government took nO notice of the affair; but when it had really assumed an appearance of in- surrection a Jew government troops were sent against the dicontented masses. The rebels routed them, killing a great many men, inctuding the commanding officer of the troops. The rebels now demand the following CONCESSIONS before they will lay down their arm: First—A return to the old han, restoring to the Daimios their lands and incomes. Second—That the oiticers of the district shall be appointed from among the inhabitants oj the dis- trict, not from a distant ken. Third—Chat the incomes and all property of the Samourai shai be returned. Fourth—That the taxes shall be reduced by one- half for the space ol three years. Fifih—Yhat the government shall cease cutting down the trees in the surrounding districts. Stxth—A retorn to the old Japanese calendar, It will be seen that these demands are serious and some of tiem impracticabie; but it appears to me that the second grievance complained of is a legitimate one. It 1s rather hard that a raw youth from Tokio or some other city should be sent out to govern @ district, the local requirements of which he 18 necessarily entirely ignorant of. Men could be found in each district euly capable of governi@g it; but I doubt whether the Japanese central government will ever concede this, The complaint about the taxes is also reasonabie. The people are taxed tearfully. In Matsmai, ior in- stance, the tax on fish amounts to fitty rt cent of the fish eaught! Such unreasonable taxation as this will cause riot and rebel- Mon anywhere. ©The rathiess destruction of timber by the government is also a serious source of eom- piaint. Trees have been cut down, even in the heighborhood of Yokohama and Jeddo, without any apparent Cause, the cut trees obstructing the roadways and the land from which they have been cut otherwise untouched, In some places beauti- ful parks and groves of trees have been destroyed without the slightest necessity for so doing. Yet these things are done by order of the government, much to the dissatisfaction of the people, who are Rot in the secrets of the government. As to the other demands—tne restoration of the Demin and Samourai and the return to the old calendar—these, [ imagine, are impracticabie, although the Japanese ae 90 tond of changing and obi back that nothing is impossible, THR AGITATION BXTENDING. Still another rebellion is reported from Torigoye Ken, in the provigce oi} Hoki, on the main island. The [ailagsie Jug jy A COYLEH TONE Ee iasse i tion will proceed to Chi CHINA, The Foreign Audience Question and Etiquette of Court—an Opium War on a Small Scale. SHANGHAE, June 28, 1873, On the 19th inst. Information reached this place that in the Pekin Gazette of the 14th of June a me- morial from the Tsung-li-yamen was published, begging the Emperor to grant an audience to those Ministers at Pekin who had brought letters from their sovereigns to the Emperor, and at the foot of this notice or memorial there was tte usual formula stating that the prayer of the petitioners was granted. A private letter, which I received a few days later, states that probably the 7th of July will be designated as the day of the first audience. That the right of audience is admitted cannot now be doubted. The tact ig that the Chinese have come to the conclusion that they cannot much longer resist the concurrent demand of the Western Powers, so they have seasoned their concersion by cour’ formul A complication; 18 also likely to arise. Jt is said that the Japauese Minister, Loyoshima, on account of his superior rank, takes precedence of all the foreign ministers. And the question is, shall Japan have the first audience? Trival as this may appear it is a question that is greatuly’exercis- ing the foreign diplomats at Pekin. A LITTLE WAR FOR OPIUM, From Chinkiang I have received an account of an opium war on @ small scale. Jt seems that au English firm sold a chest of opium the other day to be ‘sent into the interior, and had the li-ken tax paid properly; but when the chest got across the river it was seized by adeputy ol the Futai, and the men carrying it were arrested and ‘taken to the Li-kin Office in this city. In seme way word was brought of the seizure, and the Cantonese Went en masse to the, Li-kin Oftice aud completely gutted it, breaking the furniture and smashing wll the windows, besides giving the deputy @ severe pounding. ‘The opium was sent to the Taotai, who at first undertook to sustalm the seizure, but when he saw the feeling of the peo- ple he sent it back to the tax-omee and ordered out some of the ontside troops to protect the place, ‘The Chinese merchants had a meeting and decided todo nothing inthe way of paying taxes at the Li-kin Office until this case Was settled. The Tu- | tung (Commander of the Manchu troops), hearing of the mater, is said to have told the laotui that it was not the thing to order out troops to guard Li-kin officers, and especially without consulting him, so there seems to be divisions in the Celestial veuncils, Tie present Taotai has become unpopu- Jar by his disregard of nis own peopie and his ob- structiveness in everything that concerns for- eigners. TWO HAPPY ONES. ke RD 8% The Betrothal of the Duke of Edin. bargh—What the Russians Think of the Matrimonial Alliance. {From the London Times, July 26.) Russian papers not being allowed without special permission to dilate upon events inthe unperial Jamily, few and sort are the comments upon the auspicious news trom Jugenheim, There is, how- ever, no doubt that the announcement of the royal betrothal has been most sympathetically received atSt. Petersburg, both on accornt of the s.ncere interest felt in the amiable Princess and also as an eatnest of good relations between the two countries to whom the aManced belong. Her Im- perial Highness Princess Maria Alexandrovna is Honorary Colonel of the Yamburg Regiment of Unians, and the photograph in the uniform of this gallant troop, Czapka on heau, with the white sul- tana gracefully hanging down, certainly makes her the most charming officer in the service of All the Russias. It is asserted that THE MARRIAGE WILL BE CELEBRATED inJanuary, and that Queen Victoria has held out hopes of honoring the ceremony with her presence. | Her Majesty’s arrival in the Russian capital would certainly be appreciated as one of the most grati- | fying events in the history of the Court, and, per- | haps, ever of the country. It is believed in Rus- | sia that Count Schuvalot, when he visited England | aiew mouths ago in order to arrange the Asiatic difficulty, was at the same time commissioned to | settle certain preliminary questions incidental to | the matrimonial project recently announced. Un- fortunately, Count schuvalof was prevented from attending THE BETROTAL AT HEILIGENBERG CASTLE, his father having died suddeniy at Carisbad, and the duty devolving upon the son of conveying the remains to the family estate of Artimaya on the Finnish frontier. As the Count haa thus become associated with the destinies of an Knglisn Prince, it may not be uninteresting to knowthat his family, like the Suvarof®, is supposed ‘to have im- ted centuries ago irom Sweden, and to belong, in fact, eituer to the original Waragians—the northern conquerors of Buel or ip ite ven- turous Sea Las who followed In the wake of their successful predecessors. The family subsequently settied in the Province of Kostroma, among whose nobies it is mentioned as early as 1540. TWO BROTHERS SCHUVALOFF, | both of them field marshals, were created counts | by the Empress Elizabeth, whose succession to the throme they had actively promoted, Count An- dreas Schuvatoll, who died the other day at Caris- bad at a green oid age, filled tor many years at St. Petersburg the influential functions of First Cham- berlain and Grand Maréchal de la Cour, in which capacities his Kindness and unatlected benevolence won him all hearts, Of bis two sons, Count Peter, the one who visited England a few months ago, is Onief of the Third Department of the Imperial Chancellerie, in other words, Chef de la Haute Police—an office which need only be mentioned to mark its occupant as one of the most eminent personages in the Russian Empire, That he is likewtse distinguished as a statesman is doubtless known to all acquainted with the personnel of the Russian Court. Count Peter is married to the widow of Count Orloff-Den- issoff, nee Tchertkoft, His brother, Count Paul, like Count Peter, Adjutant General to the Emperor and chief o! the staf of the Guards, was left a widower atew years ago, his wife having been a Princess Bialoseiska-Bialoserska, of the great family o1 that name. Countess Sophia, the only sister of the brothers Schuvalofy, is the wile of Count Alexander BKobrinsky, Grand Equerry to the Emperor, THE DUKE. Of the few articles published in Russia about the betrothal, I select the following from the Golos for translation :— nding his youth, the illustrions betrothed of the Grand Duchess has enriched his mind by long and protitavle travelling. When bis life way ailempted in Australia, # also on other occasions, he showed great courage and uncommon firtaness of character. His noble frankness, his brilliant and cultivated intellect, his ex ceeding atmiability and affability have gained for him the sincere attacliment of all those who were fortunate enough to come in contact with him, As the nephew of the reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Prince Alfred is the heir olthat Duchy. and after his ancle's death will be one of the Princes ot the German Empire, Th Prince Alfred's betrothal to the most august di His Majesty the Emperor has been received in kngland with the utmost joy and satisiaction. The organs of all po- litical parties alike adinit that a marriage with the only daughter of the Russia p 1s the most brilliant match any European Prince could have aspired to. Al- though not attaching much political timportance to this alliance in an age in which hational interests are more powerful than dynastic connections, the English papers are in hopes that the event will strengthen the good. re- ladions existing betw: t and most power- ful empires of et they look upon the marrias i preservation of peace in Europe, There is nodonbt that in all Rustia the joylul event excites the same sympathetic feelings and good wishes as in England. Thear that the imperial family of Russia will shortly return to St. Petersburg, to be joined there in about two months by Prince Alfred, DARING ASSAULT AND ROBBERY BROOKLYN, It transpired yesterday that early on Jast Sunday morning, as Patrick Gilmartin was closing his liquor saloon at the cormer of State and Furman streets, a gang of roughs who loaf about the South ferry approached him and asked him to allow them to enter and obtain drinks. Gilmartin. seeing that they were already under the infuence of liquor, eared personal violence if he refused, an thinking that they would leave after drinking once, opened the door and the party —_ entered, After drinking several times the gang attacked Gilmartin, knocked him down, beat him severely, and robbed him of $476, which he intendea to expend in his business the following day. They then fed, leaving their viotim lying almost insenaible on the floor and bleedin, Profasely from his wounds.

INSURRECTION, In the barranca of Zorrillos, Jalicso, the govern- Ment troops under Urea had obtamed a signal triumph over the remaining bands of Losada still in the field, but with considerable losses to the troops. A priest named Aguilar revolted in the State of Jalisco. He with his followers of fanatic parishioners took to the mountains, hotly pursued by government troops, With diMoulty the band were surrounded, and after a siege of three days obliged tc surrender; but the priest and his ring- leaders, excepting two, escaped. These two were shot, and the captured rank and file allowed to recurn to their homes, which they did, vowing vengeance on his reverence, who had deluded and plunged them tnto a rebellion without plan or prospects, It was confidently expected that some time ere the close of the last month President Lerdo de ‘Tejada would lay down a definite plan of policy to be observed during his incumbency in office. Near Guadalajara the stage had been robbed of the correspondence, FINANCE. The government paid at the national Treasury all interests and instalments due on the loan of $500,000, negotiated a short time ago by the Ministry of Hacienda, FIRE.

This unheard of proceeding has aroused the indignation of the people throughout the country, The Legisiaturejof the State of Hidalgo solemnly protested against the outrage; but itis not known what action the fed- eral authorities will take in the premises, The Federalist, an administration newspaper of mucu influence, says that tue AMERICAN FRONTIER COMMISSION have made reclamations amounting to a fabulous | sum, apd that the Mexicans have acted in the | same spirit, adding that “‘petween order ing to pay | and paying there 18 an enormous distance.’ | WS ITEMS.

Passengers by the steamer City of Mexico, from Vera Cruz, state that 1t was currently reported that Manuel Losada, the great rebel Indian chief lately captured in arms against tne government, had been shot, AMERICAN PRESS ENTERPRISE: The following editorial article, transiated from the Federalist of the Sth ult., wiil be read with in- terest by Americans, a8 showing what our Aztec neighbors think of our newspaper enterprise and progressive ideas, It is as tollows:— It is known that American newspapers, dlways greedy for news to teed the curiosity of their readers, lose no o¢- casio to explore the most insignificant event. A man who has had a part, direct or indirect, in any public business or enterprise, is not well arrived in the country wuen & pack of reporters invades bis domicile, asking it quartef of an hour's conversation with him. The; a thousand questions point blank (quenia-ropa) a gach more indiser than the other, about the stat of the business at pen and its prospects in future. is ably bordered about, so as to give explanations; his amor propre is touched, Whether by emitting doubts about the realization of the project, or Making commentaries unfavorable to it, which the ‘party interrogated is forei bly obliged to correct by assurances that are so many more proofs which he goes on letting loose tor the con- struction of a sensational novel, and, in a word, th make him divulge.

And as soon as he ar rived in New Orleans, proceeding sad and with bowed head trom Vera Cruz, he saw hinselt assaulted by the n his concession jor the railroad trom the Gulf ity of Mexico,” and adds that “the Englishmen ave secured in their favor the support of the Executive by means of the triends of Lerdo de Tejada.” This double accusation would be serious if it were not laughable, and easy task it must be to show its entire falsity. The Eng- ish bankers who have ied through the colossal enter- pis. of constructing @ railroad between Vera Cruz and Locepe we suppose, men too practical to not know that it is impossible to compete wiih their line, for, the trafic being very reduced between the port. and the ital and the movem in passengers and merchan: dise not being sufficient Produce profits after the de- duction of expenses and the small interest on thelr capital which is invested in t! igantic enterprise, It is evident that it would be a useless work to construct another line from the Gulf to the central plateau. It is, then, apparent that the capitalists with whom Rose- crans ought he could count should abandon so. doubtful a decree’, by only the announcing to hem of the figures actually charged for transportation, us there remained to General Rosecrans all the inte- rior of the Rapoplie to construct! railwi a And ae Ob one the English company did not pretend to extend eir rails further than the cupital, and, on .the other, the extension of railroads in the country must multiply as an immediate consequence the operations of importa- tions and exportations of goods, they had a direct inter- est in pe realization of the Bralects of General - crans, So that itseems to us absurd to attribute to that company an opposition that redounded to itsown dam- age. Stating that the English “secured the support and favor bxecutive by means gf the triends ot Mr. je Tejada to deteat the modifichtions,” is to ignore racter of the President of the Republic and do an unmerited offence. Mr. Lerdo de Tejada is Ruished precisely ior his independence, and is not accessible to the intluence neither of his iriends nor enemies. Some of those who are adinitted from time to time to the intimacy of his hearth may perhaps con- gratulate themselves, through ostentation and vanity, " of exercising an ascendancy over his heart or his intel! ence, and invested with the talse prestige ot qgunpe pe pia DP raaatanicn triumphant ‘alts aap ‘int | Io) without doing the ayte-rooms and promise protection ton Yew deluged forker but we have the deep. rooted conviction that Mr. Lerdo vetoes expressly all meddling, poss or indirectly, in. his official acts or his policy; and what is more, We will say he not even honors such people with bis’ confidence in all that has relation with the progress or intention of the govern- ment.

Another word to conclude. We cannot pass unper- ceived a suspicion engendered by Mr. Sullivan, This gentleman sitters trom a greaterror in belleving that when We published the telegram from San Fran pretended to make of it an arm against the nic tract Company of Pennsylvania. Never has such # thought passed our imagination; first, because General Rosecrans not having now the ‘representation of the company, it cannot assume the responsiblity and th consequences of the individnal acis and words of @ pe son strange to it from the moment of his separation; and then, because annulled, the concession whieh the Union Contrac: ‘npany vindicates, such company has no ex- | istance. neither real nor imaginary, among us, not even @ reason of being, and it, would, torasmuch, not be Kenerous on our part to give “a dead Moor a great iance. wound,” THE EMIGRATION TIDE. aera A Slight Decrease This Year in the Number of Arrivals at Castle Garden— Last Month’s Immigrants and Destination—Still They Come Erin and the Fatherland It has been thought by many that there has been @ great decrease in the number of emigrants arriv- ing at this port this year; but the emigration statistics, as supplied at Castle Garden, show that the difference between this year and the corre- sponding months of last year 1s so small as scarceiy to be wortn consideration. Immigration still goes on with restless constancy, and though there have been many causes conspiring to check it at its two great centres—Ireiand and Germany—still the ‘from | thousands are flocking to our port from these two countries much in the same numbers as for years past they have ‘been. There has, however, been some slight decrease in the emigration during the seven months gone by of this year, as will appear irom the statistics given below.

This is logical and natural, In such @ moral situation it does not appear unlikely that Geu- eral Rosecrans has used hostile words to Mexico, that he | jas given loose rein to his resentment and his ideas— perhaps magmitied by the renorters, who drew forth lis secrets by hiy well-known frankness, which were con centrated In the despatch first published in Washingio and aiterwards in San Francisco, Cal.

Sadness and Sorrow Along the Route—The Re- ward of Virtue—An American Clergyman, Too Late to Meet ‘the Bishop in Life, Attends His Funeral—A Col- ored Clergyman at the Bier. (From the Daily Telegraph, July 26.) Steaming along as we did yesterday, by special train, through the baimy July morning towards the breezy Sussex downs, it might have been asked us, as uf Wordsworth’s “tender ebild,” “What could wo know of death??? Everything around seemed so exuberant in life that no thought of death obtruded itself. We might have been a large party, mainly clerical, running down to Brighton for a Summer day’s holiday under episcopal supervision. We were, however, Bishop Wilberforce’s great funeral party,, We were going to lay in the earth the morta! remains of one who— we could not help thinking of it—was that day Week as full of life, fuller of anima! spirits, than we at that moment. The deparvare of the train FROM VICTORIA STATION was marked by the heterogeneous appearance which always characterizes a gathering of the English clergy—for the occupants were mainly clerical. Now one saw a bishop, now @ bronzed clergyman from the country, here a well known London incumbent and there a young curate, Some few assumed square cap and cassock, but most were clad only in the “sober livery” of mourning. The train seemed quite full, and, punctually at the hour appointed, sped out of the station with its strange occupants, There was, a8 may well be imagined, but one topic of discourse on the journey. All spoke solemnly, but happily and kindly withal, of him to whom’ they had come to pay the last poor offices of respect that Summer morning. At Petworth station, it appeared as if every vehicle in the neighborhood had been impressed into the service for carrying us over the two miles that intervened between that place and our destination. The drive was a beautiful one, and as we defiled from the road into the um- brageous glades of Lavington Park, where a long stretch opened across the meadows, our cavalcade showed in its trae dimensions and was a veritable funeral procession indeed. Anon we reached the house of mourning, and, passing the veiled win- dows, entered through the hall into the apartment where the body was lying. The coffin was covered with a rich velvet pall, ou which lay the. ¢rosier of the departed Bishop and the msignia of his order, but all surmounted by exquisite doral wreaths an several crosses 0! flowers, one of great size; while on. the top of all was a _ large black and white crucifix, another standard one being also placed near the head of thecofin, Silently we passed around the narrow bed where he was sieep- ing 80 calmly in the sunshine and out again on to the crisp sward of the lawn, up the slopes of which we mounted to the tiny church hard by. whose tinkling bell warned us of the approaching cere- mony. By noon the little building had been filled, so far as its humble space could alford accommoda- tion for those who did not form the actual funeral party. HUMBLE VILLAGERS sat side by side with clergy, all bearing on their faces signs of the deepest emotion, and looking wiashully at the bier within the rude screen on which the Bishop's coffin was to rest. ‘The altar was draped with violet, and had upon it three can- dies and two vases of white flowers, the pillars of the chancel'screen being wreathed with lilies, The holy table was vested tor communion, and the ele- ments stood ready on a credence hard by. Soon, then, we heard the words, “I am the Resurrection and the Life’ resounding from the neighboring lawn, to tell us that the mortal re- mains of the Bishop had set out on their ney; and the long, winte-robed process passed round the green sward, entere jortal of the little church, The choir of St, Mary agdalene's, with the Rev, Richard Temple West, ; then came one bearing the pastoral staf! of the Bishop reversed; next the comin, still covered with its floral adornments, and borne by eight men in white frocks, Close by came THE MEMBERS OF THE BISHOP'S FAMILY and other mourners, and then the long line of clergy and dignitaries, who completely filled the body of the church as they passed to their seats, 4 4 | the long and expressive pause in (he when the burial service commenced, The funeral | psaim waschanted to a Gregorian tune, with har- | monium accompaniment, d then was read Paul's wonderful treatise on the resurrection, trom 1, Corinthians, xv., Whose marvellous analogies had been that morning illustrated tor us in the goiden Helas ripening for the harvest and the Summer woods only beginning to be dashed with Autumnal nts. At the conclusion of the lesson Hymn 191 (Ancient and Modern) was sung :— Christ will gather in His own To the place where He is gone, Where their heart and treasure lie, Where our life is hid on high. Day by day the Voice saith ™ inter thine eternal home ;” Asking hot if we cai ‘This dear soul its sum Then followed THE ANTE-COMMUNION SERVICE, the Collect Epistle and Gospel for St. James’ Day being used. As the olfertory iy “Who are these li mn, the beautiful composition, e stars appearing?” Was sung, | followed by that great gathering— Who are these like stars appearing, These, betore God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing Who are all this glorious band ¢ Alleluia! hark they sing, Praising loud their heavenly king. Thepe. the Almighty contemplating, Did as priests betore hin stand; Soul and body always waiting Day and night at His command; Now in God’s most holy plac Blest they stand betoré His tace.—Amen. Not @ heart there but thrilled at the appro- priateness of many of the expressi as aiso at | hureh Mill- tant prayer, Where God's, holy name was blessed | for all who had départed this life in His faith and icar. ‘Then came the celebration of THE COMMUNION, reminding one of the way in which tie primitive Church celebrated the anniversaries of tue mar- | tyr’ departure, not_as their deathdays, but as | their birthdays, by offering the eucharist or sacri- | fice of thanksgiving and praise. There was no cle- | ment of sadness, though ev element of s emnity, in the service. It Was a service worthy be hedd over a Christian bishop for whom we dar not “sorro'y even as others which have bo hop When the communion service was ended the 130th Psalm or “De Projundis” was chanted wile | the body was being moved to the churchyard. 0 u | | ho to that most sequestered spot, proceeded assemblage, the choristers surrounding | the grave and the resh forming a deep circie | around, The cofin was now uncovered, and was seen to be a handsome oak 0} witha simple tn- scription, over which again w laid the crosses and wreaths, while fresh garlatids were thrown in by ladies. As the service progressed the hymn, “prief life is here our porhon,” was sung, and then came the solemn finale, as, at the words, “ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST,” was heard that duit sound of the ciods on the | comin lid, so often taker to be the deathblow to | sut in Bishop Wilberforce’s case there seemed, as | have suid, to be none of this hoveless | element. In that most beantiful and peaceful | churchyard that bright Summer morning, with | children sweeuly singing round his: grave and | scented flowers heaped apon his comin, we left our | good Bishop sleeping, aud felt that, the close of | that Ife was a fitting sequel of what had gone be- | fore, the brigut eventide of @ lile that had been bright and bapp: as useful throughout— dashed, indeed, w Shadows at sundown y of “some natural tears; but still the appropriate closing of jife’s litte day, the commencement, a8 all present felt, of one | brighter still that should never know eyentide, shadow or tears, fot the former thiugs had passed away, and there would be ho night there whither he had gone before us. The last hymn, with which was conciuded nis traly happy ceremony, was very fitung. It ran thus:— O shepherd of the sheep. High Priest of things tocome, Who didet in grace Thy servant keep And take him sweetly howe; Chief of Thy faithtal band, He held himself the least, Though Thy dread keys were in his hand, O everlasting Priest, So, trusting im Thy might, He won a fair renown; Then rendered up to Thee The charge Thy love had given, And passed away Thy face to « Revewled in hig!

Clapham was named as the seat of the dio- cese, but the proposal was not favo! received. Among the many affecting incidents connected With the Bishop's funeral none..ls more worthy of mention than the presence of an American clergy- man from the diocese of Connecticut. He landed on Saturday last, and the oply imtroduction he brought in England was to Bishop Wilberterce. ‘Too late to present his credentials to the livin, prelate, he stood yesterday among the mourners around his grave. There was also in the proces- sion a colored clergyman, named Gordon, of the foresg African type. Aljogether there could have een scarcely fewer than two hundred or three hundred clergy present; and the assemblage was a striking instance of the effect that can be produced. by . the ritual of the Qhureh of England properly carried out, In fact, the beauty of yesterday's ceremonial con- sisted in its stmplicity. ‘There was every variety of opinion as to the pone vestments im which. to aitend a funeral. ‘The large majority of the clergy were in surplice, hood and’ stole; some few wore collegiate caps; one only—Dr. Monsell, of Guild- tord—a biretta. ‘Many wore wideawakes more or Jess ecclesiastical, some tall hata, a very few black gowns; but all were evidently possessed of one heart and one soul, and animated by a single desire to show respect to the memory of the deceased prelate, The special train returned from Petworth at five o'clock, dispersing that large funeral party Qver London about seven, MARKET DANCERS. Stagnant Water and Broken Pavements—Foul Air in Washington Market—Damp Cel- lars~ What Kills the Babies—Bad Fruit ‘and Cheap ‘Death. Some of our bad smells are conquered. Pluck and persistence on the part of the Board of Health have effected reforms where long experience had induced the belief that it was useless to look for them, But its fight is not finished. While indi+ viduals can reap rich harvests of profit by selling poison, or city ofMfcials can save themselves trouble by shutting their eyes over prac- tices prejudicial to the public health, there will still be fields for sunitary struggles. Our streets are badly paved as arule, A tew have been honestly laid with firin heavy blocks. Even these are not periect on account of the material lacking certain requisite qualities. Many streets are still paved with the cobble stones of various dimensions forming even in its best estate aroadway more adapted to retaining dirt than to facilitating its removal. ‘Both in’ the streets laid with trap-blocks and those in which cobble stones remain those wito have disturbed the pavement to get access to sewers, gas pipes or water pipes, have been allowed to reset the pave- ment solanitily that in ashort time the place be- comes marked by @ depression often reaching a foot in depth—a receptacle for street dirt and a reservoir for putrid water. We can never havo clean streets so long as this remains unchanged. ‘Till we can have clean streets we shall never have a thoroughly healthy city. Itis the duty of the Board of Health to continue its labors in behalf of cleaniiness till all these abuses are corrected. ABOUT TIE MARKETS. Nowhere is it more imperatively requisite for the public health to have the streets smvoth, un- broken, clean and the gutters so formed as to carry off quickly every drop of drainage, than in the neighborhood around our great’ depots of food. Hardly in any part of tne city are the streets worse than about Fulton or Washington Market. In all the streets which border these great trade centres, frem which immense quantities of food are daily distributed are deep holes and broken gutters, which defy all implements of street cleaning and set at naught the most earnest labors of scrupulous sweepers, Worst of ail is Vesey street. Lhisis paved, or once was, with cobble stone. It has been opened in many pia and presents telltale gulfs as formidable as th historic ravine accross which Colonel Chariey May made his renowned cavalry charge upon the Mexi- can batteries in the action of Resacca de la Palma. Fulton street, between Washington and West streets, is in nearly as bad condition as ‘Vesey street, though it has been paved with blocks. In many places it bas been broken up, and in both pavement and gutters are large receptacles for nastiness. West street is in better condition. Washington street, though not ay defective as the cross streets, needs attention before it will be in a faultless sanitary condition. South street, near Fulton Market, needs immedt- ate attention. The site of the booths recently abated sheuld be restored to the use of vehicles, and the gutter should be so repaired that itywill dig- charge the drajpage of the market stands freely. Beekman, Front and Fulton streets each need similar repairs, South street, between Beekman street and Peck slip, 18 soon to be relieved of the stores and stands which obstruct the gutter and gather der their floors festering masses of putrid gmail matter and street filth, SMELLS IN WASHINGTON MARKET, Inspector Judson and Architect Pheer found the air close, unpleasant and unwholesome in Washington Market, It was likewise so dark in the afternoon that gasitght was required, They advise an extensive annexation to the market building, from above, and the introduction of sky- lights and ventilators. These, if provided, will no doubt partly cure the evi. They tonnd its origin in the breath of the large humoers congregated there, the exhatitions trom meats, vegetables and le commodities, wnd in the large combustion of gas. DAMP CELLARS. So far aa their report shows it does not appear whether these bold searchers aiter unpleasant truth penetrated into the cellars wader the upper portion ofthe market, If they did it ts poxstole that they might nave added to the sources of foul ai in the market the efluvia arising {rom collections of water unpleasantly like the bilge water from ships, whose odors once sniffed leave mveinories never to be el- jaced, If the Sanitary Inspectors have not found | thelr way to these dow long unused cellars they | would doubdess derive use/ul kuowledge trom a thorough inspection there. BABY MORTALITY AND BAD BRUIT. Last week 889 babies, under five years old, died in this city. In the same meeting Of the Board of Health which received tuis report, quite appro- priately the subject of the sale of unripe ga Us now the city is abundantly supplied with meions, bananas, peaches, pears, apples, tomatoes, pota- toes and other frat and vegetables, much of it in @ State most dangerous to the health of those who are so indiscreet as to eat them, Thischeap death by ready-made cholera morbus 18 for sale literally everywhere. lt pre- sents its juicy temptation to every chud with a copper on stands by ‘the sidewalk, and is hawked ubout the streets in carts, itis sold by boys and irls, by Women and men.
