The most remarkable thing ‘about this progress through Whitechapel was the development of an intense loyalty among the great anwashed who live by tens of thousands in the pur- Heus of that malodorous locality in every degree of poverty, squalor and wretchedness. A SIGHT FOR COCKNEYDOM. Royalty is a rare sight there, and as an open air attraction costing nothing the progress was sure to draw. There was apparently some doubt as to the loyal temper of the denizens, but it was soon seen that there was no danger to be apprehended on that head. Immense crowds drawn from the choice localities of old Ratclitfe Highway, Limehouse and Poplar on the right hand of the royal route and from the wide districts of Hackney, Bethnal Green and Spitalfields on the left hand poured in upon Whitechapel. WAITING FOR THE GTEEN. From early in the day anxious throngs, among whom the fair sex was represented, lined the side- Walks. As the time for the passing of the royal cavalcade drew near the masses of people pouring {nm upon the route became denser and denser. Cav- airy and policemen kept the crowds back so as to \eave a clear space for the carriages and escort to pass. As the crowds from the outlying districts, composed of decent workingmen, with their sweet- hearts and wives, gangs.of horse playing reughs and ‘troops of boys, came up they packed the side streets @way back from the line of route. ‘ LONDON FUN. , The London crowd is at once goodhumored and ‘brutal, and until the shouts inthe distance. an- -mounced the coming of the Queen ‘rough jokes, snatches of “Tommy, Make Room for Your Uncle” nd Cockney “chaff were bandied about with ap- parent good nature. LOYALTY AND BRUTALITY. The cheering from the masses on the street and the waving of handkerchiefs from the windows of the main thoroughfare were continuous; but at the cross streets, as the cavaleade passed the hoarse whirlwind of hurrahs was followed by shouts, curses ‘and groans of pain as the pressure from behind be came more intense and the people in the main street turned to crush their way home again. FILLING THE HOSPITAL, ‘The scenes that ensued were shocking to human Rature. Women were crushed, many fell and were trampled on, and those who got out of these crushes with only torn clothes thought themselves lucky. Numerous accidents are reported, but of course they are only the sérious cases, Thus, in @ manner the Queen could never have desired, the progress in the Bast contributed a large number of patients to fill the London hospital wards. AT THE ABBEY, The Queen was present at Westminster on the * occasion of the funeral of Lady Augusta Stanley, on Thursday. “RMPRESS OP INDIA,” DUE TO DISRARLL The new imperial title has been virtualiy accepted by the second reading of the bill in the House of Commons. There was an animated and somewhat bitter discussion. Disraeli and Gladstone, even Kenealy, participated tn it. BY THE GRACE OP SPENSER. As foresliadowed in last week's special cable tele- gram to the HenaLp, Disraeli made a strong point of Spenser's dedication of the “Faerie Queen” to Good Queen Bess. He also quoted Gibbon’s passage on ‘the happiness and greatness of mankind under the Antonine emperors. VICTORY FOR CABINET AND CROWN. ‘The division resulted in an overwhelming victory for » the government. So Victoria, by the grace of God Queen of England, will soon be, by the interposition Of Disraeli, Empress of India. A UNIVERSAL PROCLAMATION. ‘The new title will be imperially proclaimed simul, taneously throughout the empire from the towers of Windsor, the Goverment Ifouse in Calcutta, at Valetta in Malta, on the banks of the St. Lawrence, {nd in British Columbia, from Dublin Castle and Edin- burgh Castle, at the antipodes in Melbourne, dydney, Hobart Town, Auckland, in Hong Kong, at Cape Town in Africa, in Fiji and from every centre Where subject peoples listen to the roll of British drams. r FENIANS TO GO FREE. Fam informed that this proclamation will be fol- lowed by the release of the Fenian prisoners. CARDINAL MANNING AND THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY. 1am also informed that there will be startling * proceedings in Parliament on Wednesday next, when an attack will ¥ made on Oardinal Manning and the Duke of Norfolk. ‘The Home Secretary will ve questioned respecting Cardinal Manning's alleged ‘violation of law by conferring the title of Artium Magister on One who, by this ‘title, now claims to \uold this rank in the Catholic University College. ‘The Home Secretary will be also asked if the Duke. - © ¥ ar LHe een NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, MARCH 12, 1876.-QUADRUPLE SHEET. funds for German Catholic priests, and asking what Steps does the Secretary propose to take to punish the offenders and prevent a recurrence of the acts. WHAT THE MINISTRY MAY DO, The Secretary will, probably, reply that the government cares nothing about the affair, A lively scene will be the result. OVER TO ROME. I privately hear that two high noblemen have gone over to the Church of Rome this week. REPORTED ELOPEMENT IN HIGH LIFE. I have been also informed that a married lady, of the highest rank and the greatest Court favorite, | has eloped. London society will be thrown into a state of great excitement, and the news will cause the Prince of Wales great regret, several of the Jady’s friends being in his suite. POSTHUMOUS TRAGEDY BY BULWEB. A posthumous five act tragedy by Bulwer has been discovered by the editor of his posthumous papers, A London manager who has seen the piece is charmed with it and wishes to produce it. The scene is laid at Athens. It is written in heroic Metre and is highly poetic in treatment. THE NEW AMERICAN MINISTER. Mr. Richard H. Dana’s nomination as American Minister at the Court of St. James is most heartily received. The Atheneum Club is preparing to give Mr. Dana an appropriate welcome. THE LATE AMERICAN MINISTER, Mr. Schenck is much sympathized with here. No paper, except the Hour, published an account of Macdougal’s act in serving the writ upon Mr. Sghenck. ARISTOCRATIC PEDESTRIANS. A pedestrian match is on the ‘apis between Lords Charles Ker and Marcus Beresford to walk 100 miles for $5,000, OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE DECLINE. ‘The Oxford and Cambridge Universities’ boat clubs have despatched ietters to America declining the collegiate challenge for a match during the Centen- nial. Each of the universities hopes, however, to send a “four” to Philadelphia. THE AMERICAN HORSES. Concerning the American horses I am enabled to state that Preakness has accepted for the handicap Tun at Newmarket, to come off during the second week in April. He is weighted for 126 pounds. He is not considered as having much chance, being too big in flesh. A GRAND INTERNATIONAL POLO MATCH. A grand polo match has been arranged by the Union Club of Berlin. It is tocome off on the 23d, 25th and 27th of May, under the patronage of Emperor William and the Crown Prince and Princess, and will be played outside the Brandenburg Gate, by officers of the English Life Guards and gentlemen of the International Gun and Polo Club. RECEPTION ARRANGEMENTS. The visiting gentlemen will be received and a special saloon railway carriage placed at their dis- posal at Ostend. The Polo ponies will be sent by way of Ham- burg. POLO FOR THE GERMAN ARMY. There will be other athletic sports besides polo. ‘The latter game willbe afterward introduced into the German army. PIGEON SHOOTING. Pigeon shooting will occupy the time of the parties on the 2ist, 22d, 24th and 28th of May. SPRING RACES. On the 28th of May there will be spring races at the Hoppegarten and also pony races. The visiting gen- THE COMMITTEE. ‘The Ambassadors at Berlin and in London belong to the committee. ‘WESTON STILL WALKING. Weston, the pedestrian, had made 450 miles at a quarter to twelve to-night. Many of the English aristocracy, accompanied by ladies, Earls Rosebery and Dudley, Lords George Paget and Westmoreland, Sir Robert Peel and 10,000 people were present. Wes- ton will try to accomplish his 500 mile feat in a few ‘weeks. THE FINANCIAL CONDITION. In financial circles there is a gloomy feeling. The trade prospect is not encouraging. Foreign securi- ‘ties, almost without exception, are weak. A special event is the fall in Argentines to the extent of 12 per cent. : AMERICAN GOVERNMENT and railway securities are also flat. Nevertheless, these show considerable steadiness, in view of the daily reports transmitted and of the probability that the really good stocks will improve during the cen- tennial year. The recent failures have exerted a demoralizing effect. THE SILVER QUESTION, At @ recent meeting of the Politico-Economy So- ciety of Paris the subject of discussion was the de- cline im the yalue of silver. It was generally agreed that the solution of the problem is to be found in the im- mense production of American mines. It was also said, in the course of discussion, that the mone- tary policy of the United States is not yet under- stood. M. Chevalier declared that the present glut of silver was predietedby Humboldt in 1802, while he was investigating the Mexican niines, of which he then wrote that they were only “skimmed,” and, when worked by enterprising people, would produce enough to inundate Europe with silver. LIBEL SUIT AGATNST A NEWSPAPER—APOLOGY OF THE PROPRIETORS—REMARKS oF THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—JOHN YoRSTER’s BE- QUEST—ECCLESIASTICAL CONFLICTS. Lospox, Feb, 26, 1876, The World newspaper has once more succeeded in wriggling itself through the meshes of the law, but this time ft has hart itself severely. Yesterday the affuir of the libel referred to in my last was discussed before the judges of the Queen's Bench division ot the High Court of Justice, An apology was tendered on behalf of the proprietors of the World, ana, to the astonish- ment of suciety at large, has been wecepted by Mr. Horsman, M. P. Au array of eminent counsel was engaged in the case, notably Hawkins, } Queen's counsel, the most. apbtle crozs-examiner at the common Jaw Bar; the ex-Attorney Geoveral, Sir Honry James, Q C.; Serjoant Parry, a lawyer welt versed in criminal matters, and last, not Jeast, ove of the Lewises, whose firm is always em- ployed fn actions at law’ of « ticklish natare. Parry, on bebal! of the World, vegged sincerely to apologize, and to express the regret. of the proprictors of that paper for the insertion im its columns of the paragraph complaiued of “I desire,” said the learned Serjeant, “on the part of the defendants, in the most distinct manner possible, to withdraw all imputation against Mr. Horsman, There i* mo foundation for the pa: graph im question, and the paper hag beon misled.” There was blank astonishment depicted in the face of almost evory one in Court, the Judges included, when this admission” was made, The Lord Chief Jus tiee moved himself uneasily in his chair, looked at his brother Mellor, then. toward his brother Field, stopped Mr. Serjeant: Parry's speech, and retharked that tho libel tmpdted to Mr. Horsman conduct of the basest and most dishdnoravle charac- ‘ter, and that he considered the Court was not to be _* DENorfolk has violated International IaW by ralsing’| wed for tho purpose of extorting, an apology, “it | | the German papers, with few exceptions, hurled their people publish libels,” declared Chief Justice Cock- burn,” they must take the consequences, Ifa crim- imal information is moved for, it is vot because the de- fendant comes and says he finds he has made a mis- take that he is to escape the consequegees of his act. There ought to be NO MISTAKES MADE in cases where character is involved.’” Mr. Serjeant Parry—I am aware of Your Lordship’s Opinion on this subject, It is now the first time I have listened to it, and I havo always done so with the greatest respect. The Lora Chief Justice—I have always held the opinion I have now expressed. Mr. Serjeant Parry—No doubt, My Lord, and Ihave told my clients that such were your Views. They have | placed themselves unreservedly in my hands, and although from the terms of the paragraph personal | malice might be inferred, yet-—— The Lord Chief Justico—1t matters little whether the | Motives were malicious or not. You tear a man’s character to pieces and then you say you have made a mistake. Mr. Serjeant Parry—I hope Your Lordship will feel that if a journalist has by accident inserted a paragraph in his paper— The Lord Chief Justice—If ho can show it was by accident—if he can show who was the tudividual who has misled him and is the author of the scandalous matter he published—well and good, Mr. Serjeant Parry—The publisuers and proprietors of 4 paper are legally responsible, My Lord. ‘The Lord Chief Justice—And morally, too.

After a lengtpy discussion the compromise was al- lowed, but nut without a strong PROTEST FROM THE JUDGES. The Lord Chief Justice said:—*if we could compel this prosecution to be carried to its legitimate end we might not listen to any proposal for compromise in the case of #0 serious a libel a8 this appears to us to be, because [ can scarcely conceive anything more serious | than the charges that are made agamst Mr. Horsman, | But we are powerless in that respect, because if we prevent a compromise to-day *we cannot prevent it vo-morrow. The ‘present is & compromise which the Court iy most unwilling to listen to, I wish to say ‘suis, that in a case of a serious libel like the present, to have the process of the Court put im motion merely to obtain a retraction and an spoleay is what this Court ought not to submit t Where @ party can show that he has been jed, or that what is complained of has been inserted in bis Bewspaper without his concurrence or knowledge, or in his absence or other fair excuse, then nobody Would-object to @ retractation and apology. being ac- cepted and the matter settied and got rid of. “But in a serious case of libel we must for the future lay down a stringent rule as to not allowing a compromise where no excuse or palliation can be offered. In such a case we must make it a stipalation before granting the rule nisi that the case shall be carried to its legitimate end, so that the high process of the Court may not be ob- tained increly lor the purpose of obtaining a retractation. However, as bere, Mr, Horsman, instead of insisting on going on with the prosecution, is content to stay the proceedings where they are, be itso. We express uo ‘opinion as to the propriety Or impropriety of such a course. We only say that the process of the Court ought not to be used for purposes which fall short of the purposes ot justice.” SAVED. And so the printer of the World is saved from the durance vile of Newgate and the proprietor of the paper from a heavy fine. Every one knows that the editor would have been compelled, had the prosecution been carried forward, to change places with the printer, and therefore’ the clever editor of this clever paper, ulpeit his amour propre must be deeply wounded this time and the prestige of his journal somewhat tarnished, may congratulate himself on the vacillating weakness o1 Mr. Horsman, mémber of Pur- lament, some time Secretary for Ireland, a sate Lord of the Treasury and what not. FORSTEK’S LEGACY. The late John Forster's legacy to the nation is pro- voking some discussion in literary circles, An at- tempt is being made to invoke power suiticient to re- movethe bequeathment from the trusteeship of the South Kensington authorities to the care of the trus- tees of the British Museum. The legacy is a most valu- able one, and there is little doubt that it could be turned to greater account by being exhibited to the pubhe at Bloomsbury, near the very centre of Lon- don, than away in the regions of the western suburbs. Besides a large number of tracts and broudsheets, re- lating to Charles L, the civil war and the commoun- wealth, and to Ireland and Swift, the Forster collection includes all the manuscripts of the Dickens novels, ‘with the exception of “Our Mutual Friend.” ‘To these most interesting literary relics oy | be added fourteen volumes of pamphlets, arrangea ’y Lord Macaulay ; Addison’s “Travels im Italy,” an ez dono copy to Swift; Pope's annotated copy of “Garth’s Dispensary ;”” the “Lives of the Poets,” corrected in Johnson's own handwriting; Swift’s own copy of the “Dunciad” and Byron’s copy of “English Bards" given to Leigh Hunt, ‘A whole host of.manuscripts and autographs of greater or less importance are included in the collectiva, and -Sinere enumeration of the Uvlesof the books im it ‘Bits 272 closely printed octavo pages, . .. ~ si THX CHUROM. : * Clergymen ‘over here of ai] persuasions seem to be afflicted justnow with an itching band for the pen Which amounts to @ disease with them.

Now the ninetwenth article of the Church of England affirms that “the churches of Jerusalem, Alexandria avd Antioch have erred,” “and that net only in the living and manner of ceremonies, Dut also in matters of fuith.’’ His Grace of Oxtord bas in effect pitchea over one of the most vital clauses in his sworn faith. It is terrible to contemplate where ths continuous ecclesiastical fighting over here is likely to end.

Dover, England, Feb, 24, 1876, The Deutschland disaster, with all its attendant horrors and the flerce denunciations of the German press as to the conduct of the Harwichers on that oc- casion, are freshin the public mind. The grass bas not bad time to grow over the graves of the victims of that terrible night on the “Kentish Knock,” when now another lamentable misfortune occupies the attea- tion of the two countries, This time it is England's turn to condemn, and, on the whole, the condemnation is passed im calmer and more dignified terms by tho English press than wus the case when a few weeks ago avathemas at the seafaring population of the east coast, The cable will have given you an account of the COLLISION OFF DOVER, fm open daylight, Uetween the Franconia, Hamburg- American steamer, bound for New York, and the Strath-Clyde, British steamer, bound for Bombay. HISTORY OF THM DISARTER, Brieily recapitulated, the history of the disaster 13 as follows :—The Strath-Clyde, having cleared from the Vie- toriu Docks, dropped down (he Thames on the morning ofthe 17th inst. Sho was oil Dover in the afternoon and put in at that port for the purpose of landing her pilot. This dove, she steamed straight out at full speed in a fresh breeze and a strong sea, her decks yet l.ttered with upstowed cargo and crowded with the passengers, many of them officers in the army proceeding, with their wives, to resume their military duties in India, and who were bow taking & last look at the “white cliffs’ of their native land. While the Strath-Clyde was steaming out of Dover harbor a large steamer, the Franconia, was seen about four miles distant northward, bearing down clmanel. Filteen minutes sufficed tO brmg the two Vesséls unpleasantly near each other, and the Strath-Clyde changed her course im order to let the Franconia, Which was moving at a much | greater rate of speed, go by. But the lutter, instead of holding on ber course, at the same moment ported her helm, and ran at full speed RIGHT INTO THR STRATH-CLYDE, ripping a hole two feet wide and four deep in the un- fortunate vessel le. Having executed this ramming manquvre, the Franconia made off as fast as possible without lowering a boat, throwing a buoy or taking the slightest notice of her victim. In a few minutes the Strath-Clyde went down, and her human freight, with the exception of a few of the crew who had jumped into toe chains of the German steamer’s bows, were Jolt struggling m the Waler—rari nantes in gurgite vasto—theit DROWNING SURIRKS being heard, it is vad, from the Admiralty pier at Dover.

MACMAHON DISQUIETED, The unmistakable symptoms of discontent at the ministerial selection leaves President MacMahou discouraged and uneasy. GAMBETTA'S STRENGTH. On the other hand, in proportion as the discontent takes organized shape, M. Léon Gambetta becomes more confident and hopeful, and is undoubtedly the most powerful man in the Parliament. AMNESTY. Victor Hugo is the leading figure in the movement for a general amnesty to the exiled and imprisoned Communists, and will shortly make a demand there- for. THE East. France and England are engaged in offering bail for Egypt in her monetary difficulties, each trying to ! obtain the best mortgage on the revenues of the Khedive, who does not object to giving a lien on the future if the present is made financially easy for him, ANOTHER TURKISH LOAN. ‘The Porte is at present raising a new Turkish loan at the enormously high figure of eighteen per cent. | With its present deficits on former joans Unis extras ordinary bait is nécessary to get any money as ull, | and that, too, at quotations which will increase the — promised percentage to unknown proportions. The Sultan’s immediate need for money is to settle the arrears of pay due his soldiers, at present unsuccess- fully engaged in the attempt to butcher Christians. SPAIN. Don Alfonso returns from the north to find a fresh republican insurrection brewing in Spain, NEW PIECES AT THE THEATRES, Two new pieces have just been produced. One at the jolly little Palais Royal is entitled “Poste Res- tante.” Itisa lively, bustling comedy, written to inagurate the re-engagement of those droll actors, Ravel and Brasseux. The play abounds in capital situations and rattling buifoonery. STAGE ENGLISHMEN. ‘The other piece has been produced at the Théatre de Cluny, and is called “Lord Harrington.” This is a very curious piece, the author exhibing the most confused notions of British manners and customs, ‘The stage Englishman here is, however, sué generis, and a8 unlike anything English as the raving French- man of the old English farces was unlike anything French. STILLBORN. In musical circles it is rumored that the new ‘Théatre Lyrique will die before its birth for want of | capital. Verdi, the composer, has been engaged to lead the orchestra on the first six nights, for which “Alda” has been announced. PRIME DONNE TEACHING SCALES, Among the former queens of song who have gravi- tated from the stage to the class room are Frezzo- lini, Lagrange and Laborde, who now give singing lessons here. Mme. Viardot also has a class. LUCCA AND THE PARISLANS, At the Grand Opera House they are preparing a grand reviyal of “L'Africaine,” which will bring out Pauline Lucca in the title rdle. It may be recalled that Lucca created the part in London in 1864, a few months after the first production of the opera in Paris. It was then stated that Meyerbeer before he died had selected Lucca for the part, in which after- ward she made 80 great @ success. Notwithstand- ing all this it is doubted here that the Parisians will listen to the wife of a Prussian officer, » THE THEATRE TAX. The Parisian managers expect that the new Cham- bers will abolish the theatre tax, which, under the name of “Droits des Pauvres,” nets a large sum an- nually for the Charities of Paris. The tax has ex- isted either as pure bounty or legal tax since the same purpose. The Spanish Minister at Washington was yesterday telegraphed to in relation to the ubduetiun by the | friends of Sefor Holgado, and arrived im-town last evening. THE CRISPINS.
