Christmas, to the minds of a large portion of our people, recalls a pagan satur- nalia, without the picturesque forms and social games of paganism. ‘There is no mistaking the presence of -what Irving terms the devotion of the Eng- Tish people to Christmas, when we seo the devotees reeling about the streets, mak- ing night hideous and crowding the po- lice courts on the following morn- ing, the fact forces itself that the British Christmas is most generally observed with a popular indulgence in brutal intoxication. The vast, and really meritorious, laboring classes of these islands of the United King- dom avail themselves of the advent of the happy season of Christmas to deprive them- selves of reason and feeling. THE MILLIONS IN IGNORANCE. «The lessons of Christmas have not reached the minds or hearts of the millions. Christ- mas indoors and Christmas out of doors are, with the multitude, different things. One class of the people regards the festival as a foretaste of heaven, while the other is not capable of entertaining that delicate senti- ment or holy aspiration.” THE PRESS PICTURE OVERDRAWN. The Times’ picture, as applied to the pres- ent Christmas, is overdrawn. CHRISTMAS EVE AS IT WAS. Christmas Eve in the metropolis pre- sented no difference from what is seen on an ordinary London Saturday night, with the exception of increased drunkenness in the quarters inhabited by the lower classes, and the perambulation through the streets of broken-winded singers, accordeon men and Manchester minstrels—the succes- sors of the ‘‘waits” of former days. With the exception of these there was nothing in the streets of London to remind one of the near approach of the great Christian festival. “(HE FEAST OF LANTERNS.” At the Brighton Aquarium, however, the “Feast of Lanterns” was repeated on Christ- mas Eve. A thousand colored lamps lighted up the cascade and fernery, producing the most delightful effects of color. The tanks were illuminated, and the finny and crust- .aceous denizens of the sea were scen as well as when lit by the rays of the sun. The build- ing was thronged to its utmost capacity with holiday folk. There was an excellent musi- eal programme, which was carried out with fine artistic effect. But London offered no such attractions, HIGH CHURCH SERVICES. In the churches Christmas Eve was cele- brated principally by the Ritualists. A floral ‘welcome was given to ‘‘Father” Christmas in most of the High churches, which were thronged, yesterday evening, by thousands of London fashionables. All the West End High churches held carol services—a musical | recital of the events which are recorded of the nativity of the Saviour. NO MIDNIGHT MABSES, The celebration of midnight masses was . discontinued some years ago by the Catholic | congregations, on account of the inter- ference of the city ‘“‘roughs” with the devo- tees whon on their way to and from the -charches, A HIGH CHURCH sUnSTITUTE. But there was something similar to the mass | dolls, baby dresses and tiny furniture. voorformed at midnight last nicht at St. Al- ban’s church, Holborn, where the Rev. Mr. Mackonochie, tho high priest of the High Church party, officiated. The church was elaborately decorated. The ministerappeared clad in the vestments of Rome, and said mass, in the English language, with all the formalities of the Papal ritual and the ob- servance of @ priestly genuflexion eastward. AN ALTAR PROCESSION AND SYMBOLIC CRIB. There was a procession of clergy and acolytes, with a canopy and incense, while the singing of the Christmas carol was con- ducted by the choir, There was also a crib representing the stable manger in which the Saviour was laid after His birth, THE SAME OBSERVANCES IN OTHER RITUALISTIC TEMPLES, Similar services were performed in half a dozen other churches belonging to the Rit- ualists. IN THE CATHEDRALS. The London cathedrals do not follow the pleasant custom of the country cathedrals on Christmas Eve. At Canterbury, Charles Dickens’ favorite Cathedral; at Chester and at Norwich, the cathedrals were lighted up for musical evening services, MOODY AND SANKEY’S DISCIPLES. In the lower quarters of London the dis- ciples of Moody and Sankey held noctur- nal musical services. IN THE QUEEN'S CHAPEL AT WINDSOR. There were midnight services in the Queen’s chapel (St. George's), Windsor, not- withstanding the fact that Her Majesty is at Osborne. AT ST, PAUL'S AND THE ABBEY. At St. Paul’s Cathedral this (Christmas) morning a full choral service was performed. A dean of the chapter preached a sermon on Christ's nativity. Dean Stanley preached in Westminster Abbey. Both of these grand churches were tastefully decorated. THE CARDINAL ARCHBISHOP AND THE CATHOLIC CLERGY, His Eminence Cardinal Manning, Arch- bishop of Westminster, officiated at the Catholic pro-Cathedral. The Very Rev. Canon Gilbert addressed a fashionable Catholic con- gregation at St. Mary's church, Moorfields, and the Rey. George Potter, the celebrated Jesuit, preached from the pulpit of the Southwark Cathedral. OTHER SHINING LIGHTS. Revs. Messrs. Parker, Verissey and New- man Hall preached eloquently to their re- spective congregations, Rev. Mr. Spurgeon was absent from the city. CARING POR THE INNER MAN, The afternoon hours were, of course, de- voted to caring for what Hawthorne has characterized as portion of an Englishman's anatomy ’—the stomach, “the most troublesome MLLE. ALBANI. Mile. Albani sang the soprano part in the oratorio of the ‘‘Messiah” given at Albert Hall, in the afternoon, THE PANTOMIMES. The performance of the Christmas panto- mimes will commence, according to imme- morial custom, in the city theatres on Mon- day, the 27th inst., popularly known as Boxing Day. ‘The pantomimes are somewhat scarcer than usual. A FIRST PRODUCTION. The Crystal Palace proprietary produced last week the pantomime of ‘Jack in Won- derland, or the Wonderful Beanstalk,” intro- ducing a negro troupe of performers and a refined and graceful ballet. AT THE ALEXANDRA. The directors of the Alexandra Palace commenced last week the performance of “Harlequin, the Yellow Dwarf, or the King of the Gold Mines,” a piece which causes the children to rejoice and wonder. WHAT WILL BE SEEN ON BOXING DAY, The chief resorts for amusement on Mon- day are Drury Lane Theatre, with Blanchard’s “Whittington and His Cat,” the Vokes fam- ily taking the principal parts. At Covent Garden “Cinderella and the Butterflies’ Ball and Grasshoppers’ Feast,” and at Sanger’s “Lady Godiva,” while many of the minor theatres in the city and all the suburban houses have announced pantomimes with grandiloquent titles, THE LITTLE ONES IN A HEYDAY OF ENJOYMENT. You can see from all this that the young | folks of London are amply provided for in the matter of Christmas holiday pleasures, not to speak of an international doll show which is to open on Monday next at the | Alexandra Palace, with prizes for the best CHRISTMAS WEATHER Christmas Day dawned with mild and sunny weather, old song preserved in the Harleian manu- scripts in the British Museum— If Crystmas on the Saterday falle, ‘That wynter ys to be dreadden alle; According, however, to an | Hyt shall be so full of grete tempeste That byt shall sle bothe man and beste, Fruite and corn shal fayle grete won, And olde folke dyen many on, NATIONAL CONGRATULATION, England congratulates herself that the dreaded part of the present season is already past. The month of December has been a | disastrous one, There were severe snow storms in its early days. Colliery explo. sions, attended with the most fatal conse- | quences, followed, and then came the burn- ing of the steamshio Goliath RETURNING HOPE. But the gloomy weather has disappeared. “Winter retires discomfited,” says a comic paper, “seeing that his services can be dis- pensed with,” SEATING, The skating rinks are crowded with peo- ple, both at London and Brighton. BUSINESS AND FINANCES. Business during the week in nearly all financial circles has been slack and stagnant. With the approach of the holidays there is aclosing up of transactions, and few new contracts are -heing mp made. The prevailing tone of the markets, reece is one of stead- iness, and encourages the belief that after the 1st of January a revival will occur in many branches of trade, and money will find more active use in carrying forward the va- rious projects upon which England depends for her wealth. FOREIGN SECURITIES in the main have been from steady to firm, not- withstanding the prevalence of rumors con- cerning Peruvian and Egyptian Stocks, that were calculated to affect the entire market sympathetically. In the latter less than usual activity is shown, and, pending the result of the missiou of the Hon. Mr. Cave, M. P., who has gone to Egypt on matters con- nected with the recent purchase from the Khedive of his in the Canal, there is not likely to be ma- terial change in prices, THE PERUVIAN BONDS there are contradictory reports with reference te the payment of the Jaiiuary coupons. It is said that negotiations for an advance to pay the same have been broken off in Paris and transferred to London. There is undoubt- edly a disposition here to render aid to the Peruvian government, provided the latter will give sufficient guarantees to make par- ties investing reasonably secure. to the purchase of shares Suez Concerning Reverting THE SUEZ CANAL, English, French and German journals con- tinue to discuss its effect from various points of view. A well known military and naval critic, in | recent number of the Cologne Gazelte, declares that, from a commer- cial-political aspect, there can be no doubt that the gain to England is great, because the command ef the Suez Canal supplies the last link missing in the chain of stations on the road to India, uniting Gibraltar and Malta on the one hand with Aden and India on the other. He claims, however, that the gain in material power is not so great as is represented by many journals; that THE KEY TO EASTERN EUROPE is not Alexandria or Port Said, but Con- stantinople, that order to neutralize the power of the latter po- sition by fortifying Suez, England would destroy the ‘‘international” character of the canal and evoke the protest of other nations. The writer further argues that in the event of war the defence of Egypt and the canal would necessitate a division of both her land and naval forces, and possibly make the purchase thus turn out a source of weakness rather than of gain. A number of English gentlemen who are and in interested in commercial affairs are now vis- iting Egypt on what in America you would call ‘* prospecting tours,” and the result of their observations is anxiously awaited.

AMERICAN RAILWAY BONDS. The best class of American railway bonds, those that have stood the test of panic, the shrinkage of values, the depressed condition of business for the past two years, and are not threatened with default, demand by investors and regarded among the most attractive of foreign securities. | Recently published American and English railways are re- markably favorable to the former, a fact which has largly conduced to their increased popularity, and secured for them the con- fidence ofthe public. Indeed the steadi- comparisons between ness of the advance of American government | and railway bonds is one of the most satis- factory features of the London market. CANADA'S DEFENSIVE POWER. Orrawa, Dec, 25, 1875.

PARIS ON CHRISTMAS EVE was one huge fair. From the Place de la Bastille to the Madeleine, the booths of the venders of fancy articles extended, each one surrounded by a throng of votaries and chaf- | ferers. It was easier to halt occasionally in front of these extemporized boutiques than to | move along, and a glance at the marvels of French taste and ingenuity was really worth | the trouble. seem to have been exhausted.

It is appar- | ently about the only way that the republi- cans can be kept from troubling MacMahon and the legitimists, and I commend it to their attention before it is too late. This en passant.

THE RELIGIOUS FETES. In noticing the religious ceremonies which took place it may be scarcely necessary to re- call that in Catholic countries the great dis- tinctive ceremonial of Christmas is THE MIDNIGHT MASS. I need not in these despatches enlarge upon the mysteries it symbolizes or the mighty Christian event it celebrates in all the pomp of the Roman ritual. In all the leading churches, with the exception of Notre Dame, the mass was held and the ger- vices were attended by great crowds of both sexes, At the Madeleine, the Pantheon and St. Etienne du Mont tho altar decorations were magnificent, and in each a representa- tion of the manger at Bethlehem attracted the attention of the pious and the curious. AN ABLE PREACHER. The services to-day were equally well at tended, the principal attraction being the celebrated Preacher, Pore Olivier.

THE THEATRES. ; ho From the church to the theatre is one step” with the Frenchman: that is if he ever steps intoachurch at all. Christian or infidel, however, he is as fond of his theatre as the Roman rabble were of the circus, and on Christmas eve the places of amusement here were all crammed. REVIEWS OF THE YEAR, According to the custom which has grown up of late years of presenting the events of the year in a stage setting, or exhibiting the men and things that have come tothe sur- face during the twelvemonth in tableaux linked together by satirical doggerel, Revues of 1875 were given at the Alcazar and the Théaitre Déjazet last night. There were some good hits in each, but I found one of them wearisome in spite of a dazzling mise en scene. MYERS’ CIRCUS. The great American circus opened by Mr. Myers at the Magasins Réunis has proved a great success. ‘I'he receipts have averaged $4,000 nightly, and the management expects to see this sum increased during the holiday season, which is now fairly under way. In- deed, when the great preliminary outlay for the huge exhibition is taken into account, it will be seen that only great returns at the doors, and long continued, can make this undertaking financially what it has been artistically—a success. THE AMERICAN LEVEE. On New Year's Day the honors of the re- ception at the American Legation will be done by Consul General Torbert in the ab- sence of Minister Washburne. FRENCH POLITICS. Turning to things political, I may remark that the ill-timed motion of the radical Deputy Naquet for extending an amnesty to the exiled and imprisoned Communists, which was so overwhelmingly defeated this liberal constituencies have begun to pour in INDIGNANT REMONSTRANCES upon their republican representatives who voted in the negative, much to the annoy- tion to bring about such a state of affairs, marking their lines as rigidly as Gideon ap- to the proper proportions for performing his memorably successful ruse de guerre. REPUBLICAN DISSENSION. Thiers, Gambetta and Louis Blanc, repre- equally opposed to Naquet on this question. The republican party, indeed, is as badly disunited as its enemies could wish. PUSH THINGS. Premier Buffet has issued instructions to the prefects of all the departments to sup- port the conservative candidates of every ! shade in the coming elections against those put forward by the republicans, hoping to | take advantage of the present state of affairs | in the republican lincs; but the latter have shown a wonderful tenacity of purpose, and, | with the advantages gained in the Senato- | rial elections of the Assembly, will not go» before the country wholly demoralized.
