THE AMERICAN HORSES--POLO The Financial Outlook—The Cave of Silence— American Securities Improving. ~' {SPECI DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE, ] pa Lowpon, March 25, 1876. The theatrical trick of Disraeli to éignalize his Ministry by conferring the title of “Empress of In- dia” on the Queen of England ts not the easy or py,” task that he anticipated, *& POPULAR QUESTION. , The discussion waxes violent on all sides, and those who were inditferent a month ago whether the Queen was called Padishah of Hindostan or Be- yum of Bhopal have now convinced themselves either that the new title is a dangerous innovation or a necessary assumption in name of what is already a matter of fact. It is discussed vehemently by those who, in loyal haste to endorse it, add a couple of “h’s” and a final “‘r” to it, saying “Hem- press of Hindiar,” or by those who belittle itas throwing away a title on the blacks of "Indostan. OPPOSITION GAIN. ‘The opposition in the House of Commons had un- floubtedly gained ground since the last debate, as was seen In the discussion on the third reading of the bill, which, contrary to their expressed deter- mination, they forced upon the House. IN THE LORDS. ‘The government have, however, @ safe majority in ‘the House of Lords, where the debate on the sub- | ject is unparalleled for invective and satire. THE COURT. The departure of Her Majesty on her German tour will transfer the court to Baden on Monday next, when England will be left in charge of the Princess of Wales, the Prince not being expected back for a couple of weeks or more. THE LATE SEASON. From these causes the London season will hang fire until the shadows of Lent have passed away. THE OPERA, ‘The opera at Covent Garden commences on Tues- day next, when “William Tell” will be given. SPRING MILLINERY, Bond street, the great West End emporium of fashion, begins already to wear an aspect significant of lively preparation for the battle of dresses and bonnets. ‘ IN THE FIELD. ‘The hunting season, which has had all varieties of hard and soft weather to contend against,.is draw- ing to a close, and the red coats and “tops” are re- turning to town, ‘The Empress of Austria, who is here, has been en- Joying hefself in runs with the Bicester hounds. : ARE THE PENIANS TO GO FREE? In connection with the statement freely made that an amnesty will be granted to the imprisoned Fe- nians on the prociamation of the imperial title, I may state that the Secretary of the Home Depart- ment has called for reports from the directors of convict prisons upon the arrest, trial, conviction and subsequent behavior in jail of the Fenians still iifbar- cerated. This is held bya great many to forebode their release. NOT THAT KIND OF MAN. The story of the American scandals has reached Constantinople, where the Stamboul alludes gravely to the little amir of General Schenck with that woman, Emma Mine. Great preparations fre being made by the mem- bers of the Hurlingham Club for the approaching Season in the game of Polo. In the Park a pavilion has been erected for the use of the players. An improvement has been made which will give the four-in-hand equipages more turning room. The ground has been slightly elevated, in order to afford more convenience to the spectators, A GRAND EVENT FOR THE MILITARY. During the week subsequent to the Epsom races the Hurlingham Club will give a Polo cup as a prize. ‘The competition will be open to officers of all regi- ments in the service. Stabling and forage have been placed at the disposal of the officers for the use of their horses, All others will be charged $5 a week for the board and stalling of their animals. THE AMERICAN HORSES, ‘The HERALD’s Newmarket correspondent tele- graphs the following news concerning the American horses:—Preakneas did his best gallop since he has been in England to-day, covering two miles at a nice pace. Mate and Bay Final followed at some distance. Yesterday the horses went two and a quarter miles, but at a slower pace, only these three of the string being at all got forward. THEIR PROSPECT. Shonla the American horses win in their early en- gagements it will be at @ disadvantage in point of condition, NEW BOOKS. Messrs. Sampson & Low will publish next week MacGahan’s work, “Under the Northern Lights.” ‘The same firm announce a book entitled “A Mad World,” by Julius Chambers, it being @ narrative of ‘two weeks! experience by the author in an Ameri- can private lunatic asylum. FINANCIAL, The money market may be reported easy, owing to the repayment of the Suez Canal money, the arri- ‘val of bullion and the cessation of German purchases. A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK. During the week there bas been experienced not & little depression in nearly all speculative depart- ments, which culminated on Wedmesday; but thts, fortunately, ta passing away. The announcement of the indisposition of the government to publish the report of Mr, Cave, the Egyptian Commissioner, nat- urally bad its effect, yet a dispassionate considera- ‘tion of this action by the press has served to restore contidence. It is generally believed that England will mot lend assistance to the Khedive in all of his | schemes. PGYPTIAN FINANCES. At best Egyptian finances are greatly unsettled, ‘The Khedive, in revealing to Mr. Cave his financial ‘werets and allowing an official examination, doubt | the steadiness of American securities, whether in NEW YO RK HERALD, SUNDAY, MARCH 26, 1876.—QU. ADRUP leas expected the assistance of the English govern- ment; but this, as before indicated, ts not forthcom- ing, and hence he declines to be publicly communica- tive. Upon this affair the Economist says:—“The decision of the English government not to imterfere relieves the foolish purchase of the canal shares of its worst objections. England is now delivered from the fear of a series of equally bad bargains.” AMERICAN SECURITIES. It is satisfactory to quote in the present state of the market a general advance in American securities since the beginning of the year. Milwaukee and St. Paul has risen thirteen per cent, Pennsylvania two | and a halfand other stocks in proportion. In fact the department of government or railway bonds, has been one of the redeeming traits of a market which otherwise has been exceptionally dull and depressed.

Ferdinand Freiligrath was buried in the cemetery of Cannstadt, near Stuttgart, on the 2ist inst. formed an almost interminable procession, which followed the hearse, covered with | flowers, wreaths and palms, to the place of | its last destination. UNIVERSAL SYMPATHY. From all parts of Germany the mourners | had assembled ; from every quarter the most touching sympathy had been manifested. The famous publishing house of Cotta, the Augsburg Alyemeine Zeitung, the Frank- Society, the Vienna Concordia | and innumerable literary bodies were rep- | resented cither through members or rich | floral gifts, while thousands of private in- | diviguals, prompted merely by their own | feelings, joined the funeral procession. THE PEOPLE'S PARTY MOURNING. The grave was surrounded by Luawig Pfau, Otto Mueller, J. G. Fischer, Professor Lubke, Schmidt-Weissenfels and many other leaders of the people's party mourning their | irreparable loss. | THE YUNERAL SERMON. Minister Hertle, of Cannstadt, preached | the funeral sermon, and was followed by Carl Mayer, who in the name of the people's party bade the beloved dead the last fare- well, CARL MAYER'S PAREWELL ADDRESS, His oration made a powerful impression. He spoke of the poet's faithful and devoted labors, and pictured in glowing colors how the freedom and unity of his fatherland had | always been his highest ideal.

He had been suffering from hypertrophy of the | heart; his heart had attained double the natural size. Freiligrath died because his | heart was too large.
