Fashionable London is praying for the preservation f the life of Lady Constance Stanley, daughter of fourth Karl of Clarendon and wife of Hon, ik Arthur Smith Stanley. The reason ts that Queen and Lady Constance have been life com- and that Her Majesty is perhaps more strongly od to her than to any other of her personal ends, and if Lady Uonstance dies it is problematic \ehat the Queen will open the session of Parliament in ere She will doubtless be glad to Mind a pretext for voiding publicity. ; COURTIERS AND TRADERS EXPECTANT OF 4 PAGEANT. 4 This isthe view which prevails among the cour- iors, There is, hence, a threatened collapse of the lizabethan scheme of the Marquis of Salisbury, who, in an article published in the Quarterly Review, glorifies | @ public and private character of “Good Queen significantly hinting that England and the at large would be better if Victoria imitated the Virgin Queen. It would prove a great disap- | pointment, not only to Lord Salisbury but to Lon- }donera generally, who peruse the daily account of | ‘the preparations which are being made for the yusual festivities, and who have actually yseon the cream colored horses of the royal mews, fat oe lazy from inaction, taken out for exercise prepara- ‘tory to their laborious duty of dragging the state ooach, which has been repaired and regilded. PASHIONABLES IN A PLUTTER, ‘ In the fashionable world there ts quite a flutter to se- ire places in the galleries of the House of Lords, in der to gaze on the features of royalty. ARISTOCRATIO BOCIAL REFORMATORY (DEAS. In these circles there prevails also a great desire to Bee the Queen lead London society again. They attrib- jute the general immorality prevailing among the upper to her absence from public life; but:I am afraid i fa oe must await the coronation of Edward VQ, for an assertion of the dignity and splendor of the yalty, and, perhaps, an improvement in the moral ne of English society. WITTICISMS DIRECTED AGAINST THE QUERN, | Meanwhile poor, good Queen Victoria is made a batt Wor the low wits of the day. The lowest of the whole productions, entitled “Edward VII,” appeared tome It is full of pictorial and doggerel insinua- levelled at Hor Majesty, treating of the gillie JJoha Brown, the yacht Mistletoo incident and her }Bcoten seclusion in ® pointedly disadvantageous ganner. 4 QUEER sToRY. One of the journals asserts that the Queen has com- pmanded the presence of the Princess of Wales to ympany her when she is going to the Parliament fnoes, not wishing to test her own personal popu. parity, and being anxious to hide behind the cheers Swhich will be given for Alexandra. A SOLID SUBSTITUTE. Any way, whether the Queen appears in public or Nes, we are promised the appearance of Dr. Kenoaly, who will be escorted to the House of Commons by the bers of the Magna Charta, Association, bands of asic and banners. PRECAUTION AGAINST A REPETITION OF HISTORY. The police wiil doubtless interfere to prevent a repetition of the tumults which occurred in the me- Mropolis a hundred years ago, when, as Dickens de- woribes in “Barnaby Rudge,” Lord George Gordon did ‘Whe same thing. ‘THE MOVEMENT FOR ABDICATION. The Prince of Wales has a strong party engaged in ‘PAvocating, directly and indirectly, his mother’s abdi- @ation of the throne. PAWNING ON TRE BRIR APPARENT The authors of the “Coming K.” and “Jon Duan’’ Mhave in “Edward VIL’ changed coats, Instead of pvilifying the Prince of Wales they dwell rather on This bonhomie and his undeveloped soldierly qualities, The book is full of fawning sycophancy. The Prince Qtiains military glory by defeating the Russians, with ‘their Prussian allies, {n India, Thon he comes to Sues, ‘whore the Engiisb are hard prosacd by the Russian army. Gere be gains a grand victory at the head of the Indian “troops. A MERALD IROS-CLAD PRESENT. The whole theory is absurdly improbable.

The case in point is as follows:—A Wesleyan minister pamed Keot wished to have « gravestone inscribed prue.the words that the deceased waa “Dauchier of NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY. JANUARY 30, 1876.—FRIPLE SHEET. Rev. H. Keet, Wesleyan Minister.~ xno sev. mr. Smith, of Christ’s church, official delegate, objected on behalf of the Established Church. AN TMPORTANT DECISION, ‘The Court has decided that the word “reverend” ts not a title of honor or courtesy but a landatory epithet, never exclusively belonging to the English Church establishment, but simply a matter of usage, and that ‘usage bas long conceded the title to the Wesleyans, ‘The Dean of Arches had erroneously assumed that the prefix “reverend”? was rightly a title of the clergy epis- copally ordained. vUN OF THR PULPIT MEN. Now comes the grotesque part of the affair. Several ministers of the Church establishment have written to the editors of the religious newspapers requesting that in future they shall be addressed simply as ‘‘rector”’ or “vicar,” omitting the title “reverend,” which is now, they say, desecrated. The quarrel affords much amuse- ment to the secular journals. ‘THE LORD MAYOR AS A MORALIST AND MISSIONARY. A grotesque matter, also, is the raid of Lofd Mayor Cottom apon the users of Billingsgate vernacular, under an old law of Charles IL, which has been re- vived with the view of putting a stop to the use of bad language. There have been several arrests of swear- ers. Some of the streets of the city are placarded thas:— nenenooe “FRIEND, DON’T SWEAR! ? IT IS AVELB ‘AND SINFUL HABIT.” MOD 8 Half a dozen of the persons arrested have been rep- rimanded and promised money fines the next time they were brought before the most worshipful ‘‘beak.”” ‘THE OARSMEN OF THE UNIVERSITIES. I have received telegrams from the presidents of the English universities’ boat clubs. WHAT THE OXFORD MEN SAY. Oxford says that the matter of an international collegiate match in America will be discussed at a meet- ing of the club to be held on the 2d of February. A special to the Standard says there is little’ chance of their being represented at the International Collegiate Regatta at Now York on the 19th of July, but a Phila- delphia fixture, in August or September, may induce the club to send & crew over, WHAT THE CAMBRIDGE MEX SAY. ‘The Cambridge club mon say they can give but faint hopes of acceptance, because the American regatta fol- lows too closely the annual May races and the Henley contest, Every effort will be made to secure an ac- ceptance by some of the Cambridge crew. TRAINING FOR THE GREAT AQUATIC DERBY. | Oxford and Cambridge universities are actively train- ing their mon for the great annual race—the aquatic Dervy—to come off on the Thames on the 8th of April. ‘THE TURF—THE SPRING HANDICAPS. The weights for the spring handicaps are just pub- | Mshed, and Admiral Rous. gives to the world his opin- ton of the American horses. Ow THEY ARE WEIGHTED, In the mile International Handicap Preakness has 126 tbs. to carry, Munster, who is within four pounds the dost animal training, bas five mora, In the Newmarket Handicap, Pageant, a moderate antmal, has to give Mate, whose woight is 119 Ibs., 5 Ibs. In the City and Suburban the six-year-old Lowlander has to give Mate 21 Ibs Mate’s weight {s 115 Ibs. and Bay Final’s 108 Ibs. | Forthe Great Matropoittan, Bay Final has 112 Ibs, | and receives 18 lbs. from Louise Victoria: bas 94 Ibs. The best three-year-old im the race, sup- posed to be Lizzie Distin, has 98 Ibs. ‘THE CHANCES. It is evident that Admiral Rous does not think that Bay Eagle bas much chance for the Derby. « Bay Final, in the Metropolitan, should have a great chance, as he receives weight from some moderate horses. ‘THE AMERICANS NOT BUSY. At present the Americans are not doing much om the turf. THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK Continued dulness is reported in business circles. Pailures here and elsewhere exercise a depressing in- fluence, and outside of well established securities there is nothing which invites investment. In the Stock Exchange speculation is very quict, and little demand is to be noted in government stocks or home railway shares. Brief activity was exhibited in BGYPTIAN BOXDS on the basis of favorable rumors, but as they were not verified reaction occurred, and there was a decline of from one to two and a half per cent. Mr. Cave, the British Commissioner to the Khedive, is expected in Bngland at an early day, and his report is eagerly awaited. The depression of Egyptian securities has attracted the largest speculative attention during the week. Sales have been made at from one-half to one and a half per cent decline, Hungarian, Turkish, {tal- lan and Argentine bonds have also been lower. ‘THE KHEDIVR’S PROSPECTS. The mission of Mr. Cave is the basis of much specu- lation, and the London Zconomist freely expresses the opinion that the failure of the English government to straighten the finances of the Egyptian Viceroy is re- garded even in government circles as a probable con- tingency, An editorial in the 7imes, which asserts that Egypt must restore her credit by her own exer- tions, alone and unaided, has caused a profound sen- tation. We have reports from Paris that those in that city who are interested are likewise considerably ex- cited.” A alight advance has occurred in Spanish bonds ow- ‘ng to the success of the Alfonsists. ERIE. The committee of bond and share holders in Erie re- cently held another meeting, which was Jargely at- tended. The reorganization scheme was again dis- cussed, although without important result. Sir Edward Watkin presided, and in the course of his re- marks stated that the committee were anxious to act with their American partners to the end that thorough co-operation ebould be established. THR EMMA MINE, It is not improbable that two gentiemen will shortly leave for America for the purpose of obtaining the views of prominent citizens with reference to the condition and prospects of the enterprise. Notwithstanding the declaration by Revordy Johnson that be bas faith in Minister Schenck’s honesty tn this matter the new Emma Mine directors are ofa different opinion, and writs have deen issued against Messrs, Park and Stewart, the American promoters, The statement that a writ has deen issued against Minister Schenck ts not true. He ‘g regarded by some legal experts as exempt from ar- rest, owing to his ambassadorial character, The mat- tor, however, has been officially submitved to the best lawyers, to the ond that it may be determined whether he can be attacked through the American cdarte, ,and tf not whether the American government can be held responsible. ss AMERICAN SECURITIRG. ‘The principal feature of the market is a desire to purchase American secarities, prominent among which ce government bonds, American railway bonds, how- For the Prince of Wales Stakes, at Epsom, Bay Fagle | evor, are likewise In sharp demana, and, judging from the large blocks of stock that have been recently pur- chased, the tendency is upward. MONEY is stagnant, and should continue easy, but the demand from Germany continues’ France is quietly absorbing specie, and it is not unlikely that within « few weeks the drain upon the Bank of Eng- land will compel a change in its interest rate, A leading financial journal, referring tw the accumulation of uninvested money, draws attention to the fact that there is a dearth of bonds whieh offer a fair profit, and that first class American securities with &@ remunerative prospect, if offered, would meet with a warm weloome. Commenting upon the proposition embodied in Sherman’s bill, the same paper says that if his system were adopted in the United States gold dollars would probably soon issue from the British Mint and become useful coin. SPAIN. WAB OPERATIONS AGAINST THE CARLISTS—THE ALFONSIST COMMANDERS ACTIVE AND sUC- CESSFUL—-THE POLITICAL COMPLEXION OF THE CORTES, “4 Mapnip, Jan. 28, 1876, The following information in regard to the opera- tions in the North has just been received here:— The Alfonsist General Quesada occupied Villa Real, on the frontiers of the provinces of Alava and Gui- puzcoa, an important Carlist position, defended by five battalions of troops, with four Whitworth guns and some cavalry. The royalists captured the artillery- ‘men, two of their guns and ail of their material. The Carlists also lost heavily in killed and wounded, MALDONADO’ ACTION. The Alfonsist General Maldonado simultaneously oc- cupied the heights of Artaban, to the east of Villa Real, meeting with only slight resistance. MORIONES’ MAROH, General Moriones, after taking the Montgararte Cor- dillera, occupied Zaros, from which he threatens the Carlist rear, _ AT GAN SEBASTIAN, The Carlists have suspended the bombardment of San Sebastian, and commenced withdrawing their siege artillery. . THE PARTING IN THB ComTES, It now seems that there has been but one republican (Castelar) returned to the new Cortes, and but one radical (Anglada). The Marquis of Sardoal, extreme monarchist, will lead a group of six or seven deputies. ‘The constitutionalists or Sagastists will number thirty- six, . Very few moderates or partisans of religious unity have been returned. The elections to the Senate will probably be favorable to the government, . CIVIL MARRIAGES. Covocrs, Jan. 29, 1876. The Cologne Gazette's Madrid correspondent writes that, by order of the Spanish bishops, the bodies of all persons dead prior to the 9th of Febraary, 1875, who were only civilly married, will be exhamed and removed from consecrated ground.

The rejection by the Reichstag of the additions to the penal code for farther restricting the clergy by prohibiting the posting of objectionable commanica- tions on the doors of the churches, occasions general surprise. It was intended as a supplement to a previous bill prohfbiting abuse of the pulpit. The latter Dill was evaded by placarding the objection- ‘able communications on church doors or by pamphlet Pastorals, and the proposed clauses would have applied the pulpit law to those communications, VON aRNIM’S CASE. A compromise has been reached by a majority of the Reichstag, including the national liberals and she lib- eral conservatives, regarding the proposed Arnim clauses of the penal code, that, In order tq make a diplomatic servant punishable, the intention to offend must be proved.
