ENGLAND'S FAILURE TO GRAB EGYPT. | (SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE.) | Loxpox, May 20, 1876, | At the reception of the Prince of Wales by the ! Lora Mayor and Corporation of the city last evening everybody of importance, except the Premier, Mr. Disraeli, was present. THE GUILDHALL. The venerable structure known throughout the work as the home of Gog and Magog, and called the Guildhall, was a perfect blaze of artistically designed decoration. The city magnates, Indeed, had spared neither expense nor attention in preparing the setting for the picture which was to be memorable hereafter as the great civic reception of the heir to the throne of Great Britain, Ireland and India, MEDIAVAL PAGEANTRY, The medieval pageantry which usually siumbers around the fabulous giants whom “country cousins” are sent maliciously to see get_down at noon and walk about, was developed in a marvellous degree. To make the aspect still more picturesque an im- ‘mense temporary castellated tower, covering the entire front of the ancient hall, was erected and brilliantly illuminated. This, with the concomitant Military display, made a striking open air picture upon the arrival of the Prince and Princess of Wales, THE SCENE IN THE STREETS. The Prince himself went in semi-military state, to the gratification of the thousands of citizens assem- bled on the route from Marlborough House through the Strand, Fleet street, Ludgate Hill, St. Paul’s churchyard and up to the open space in front of the Guildhall. IN THE GUILDHALL. The interior of the spacious Guildhall was lavishly decorated. Gog and Magog never looked down on a brighter scene, and they have turned their armored ugliness toward many a brilliant civic display. The great stained glass windows were filuminated from without, and fags and banners bearing the arms of the city companies and expressions of welcome of room was a blaze of light and greenery. A BRILLIANT GATHERING. The rooms were brilliant with military and naval uniforms, civic dignitaries in all the glory of furred Tobes and massive golden chains of office, and ladies arrayed in gorgeous toilets, The guests were re- ceived by Lord Mayor Cotton until six o'clock, THE RECEPTION, At that hour the procession was formed to receive the Prince, headed by the Lord Mayor. After him came the Aldermen, Sheriffs and sword and mace bearers representing the city. The procession marched to the gateway and awaited the coming of the heir apparent. TUE PRINCE, At length a fanfare of trumpets announced the approach of royalty. The Prince wore the scarict uniform of a feld marshal, and appeared In splendid health. THE PRINCESS OF WALES. The Princess Alexandra wore a costume of pale blue silk and costly lace, trimmed with rosetree branches and crimson roses; @ coronet of roses sur- mounted by a diamond tiara, with a necklace of dia- } monds, THE LOVING CUP. At the banquet the usual toasts were succeeded by the loving cup. The Prince of Wales made a happy speech, which was, much cheered. A grand ball concluded the festivities, HONORS TO COME. After this magnificent display of civic hospitality there is no doubt that the Lord Mayor, at the end of his term, will blossom into a full-blown baronct, the end and ait of all good lord mayors, THR COACHING CLUB, The first “turnout” meeting of the members of the Coaching Ciab took place in Hyde Park to-day. Lord Carington, in the absence of the Duke of Beau- fort, took the lead. The Duke's coach brought up the rear. It was driven by the Duke's second son, Lord Edward Somerset. A FICTURESQUE SCENE, The thirty coaches, horsed with spanking teams, | wending their way along the side of the Serpentine through the giades of Hyde Park, presented a mag- | nificent spectacie, THE MOST ATTRACTIVE VENTCLE. Mr. Brassey's turnout, a chocolate colored coach, | with black panels and wheels and 9 team almost matching was the most admired. THE FASHIONABLE WORLD PRESENT. Mia Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, Prin- | cosa Mary of Cambridge and the Duke of Teck were present, with many representatives of rank and fashion in London, Lord Carington had two Indian princes on his A WORD FOR THE LONDLY Drtvens. Lord Cole's style of driving was much admired. Subdued applause on the part of the spectators rewarded the way in which Lord Macdui brought his team of superb dark browns into line, is coach ‘Was @ very clegant dark green, picked out with black. OTHER COACHES. Among the ottier coaches present were those of Mr. Murietta, Sir Hs Thompson, Sir Talbot Constable, ari Poulett, Captains Ashton, Foster and Whitinore; Colonels Somerset and Thursby, Major Juzy, Mr, Chaloner Smith, Mr. Carter Wood and Messrs, Sande- man, Gassett and Taplin, x OTRRATIC DEBUTS, ; the returned Prince gladdened the eye. The ball artista, Mlle. Ricca was honored yesterday by be- eae ing selected to sing the solo verse in “God Save the | Queen” at the Guildhall banquet before the Princo | of Wales. HER FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE. | This afternoon at the Floral Hall concert sifo sang “Ab, Mio Figilo,” from the “Prophéte,” being her first public appearance in England. MISS ABBOTT. Miss Abbott appeared in the same concert. She sang “Ah, ento,” by Mercadante, and, accom- panied by Signor Ciampi, the duet “Io Vidi la Gloria,” from the “Figila del Reggimento,” recety- ing genuine applause. ROSAVELLA. Mile. Rosavella ts convalescent, She 1s announced for the Floral Hall Concert of the 3d of June. MISS VON ELSNER'S DEBUT. Miss Van Elsner made her début as Isabella, In “Robert le Diable,” at Prury Lane to-night, wisely taking s secondary part under Mme. Nillsson’s kindly care. | | | HER PERFORMANCE. Thave just returned at midnight from Drury Lane, having witnessed the performance of three acts, Miss Van Eisner sang “In vano il Fato” and “Della | Tromba Guerraera” correctly and spiritedly and with a good stage presence, reaping merited ap- | plause from an English aristocratic audience, not | mentioning that of her personal friends, who, at the end of the first act, summoned her before the cur- tain, EXCELLENT FRIENDS, Mr. Mapleson deserves thanks for giving Miss Van Elsner the benefit of careful rehearsals. She also enjoyed the kindly co-operation and advice of Mme. Nilsson. She gives promise of developing into a singer of sterling merit. MISS KATE FIELD. To complete the record shall 1 include Miss Kate Field? who, after singing on Thursday the Spanish | muleteer’s song at Miss Farren’s benefit at the Galoty Theatre, was offered an engagement for opera in September ; but whether in Italian or English Tumor sayeth not. IN THE PROVINCES. Turning to the provinces, Mr. Packard, the Misses Gaylord and Josephine York are doing admirable work with Carl Rosa in Birmingham, attracting the largest houses ever known there. A PROPHECY IN PROCESS OF FULFILMENT. Thus the prophecy made fifteen years ago by a New York impresario, that within twenty years America would supply singers to our lyric stage, seems now to commence the era of its fulfilment in England. Patti and Albani are already at the top of the ladder of fame, which our recent aébutantes are steadily ascending. ; THE CENTENNIAL REGATTAS. Mr. Frank Rees writes :—“The committee of five of the Oxford University Boat Club, in whose hands the American College challenge was placed, find tt impossible to form a representative crew. There- fore they decline to accept. They, like the Cam- bridge men, coutd send unrepresentative crews to America, but the University will not indorse the ac- tion. It is not at all probable that they will be rep- -Tesented at Philadelphia in any of the Centennial boat races.” FOR NEW YORK. Ex-Minister Francis and wife will leave, for New York next Wednesday. FINANCIAL APFATRS. ‘The commercial and financial world during the week has been quiet, although it must be confessed that an uneasy feeling exists in consequence of the Eastern complications, A DEPRESSED MARKET. Money ts remarkably easy, and the stock market is not only inanimate, but it shows that prices are fall- ing, except for consols, United States bonds and other standard securities. Foreign operations are restricted by this pecniiar tone of the market and speculators are evidently ‘morous. The quotations are likewise sensitive. AMERICAN BONDS, Governments continue steady and, as a general ‘ing, good railway bonds are well maintained. THE EGYPTIAN MUDDLE, The Egyptian unification scheme is not favorably regarded. Itis now probable that Mr. Wilson will not remain in Egypt, and it fs dificult to see how he can be useful in the Khedive’s new treasury organt- zation. The Keonomist declarca that “the Egyp- tian finances are more unsatisfactory than ever.” ‘The Times says that “the Khedive retains precisely the same irresponsible power, has never been recon- ciled to the prospect of being controlled, and re- mains under the new financial decree the master of the destinies of Egypt.” ENGLAND'S FAILURE. ‘The inference is that England has failed to secure a dominant influence, notwithstanding the labors of Messrs, Cave and Wilson in the purchase of the Suez . Canal. TURKISH SECURITIES. Turkish bonds have receded considerably to-day. SILVER. Silver is quoted to-day at 52;d. per ounce. BUSINESS PALLURES. Sir Edmund Buckley, Bart., member of Parliament for Newcastle-under-Lyme, has been declared bank- | rupt. He transacted business in Manchester and elsewhere as a manufacturer of chemicals, a coal and lime merchant and a manufacturer of bricks and tiles. His Habilities are $2,500,000.

The Radicals Crying for Amnesty in Falsetto. THE THEATRES AND OPERAS. {A Batch of New Works, Revivals and Annonnoements-— | The Rejected Artists, [SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. ] HERALD BUREAU, NO. 61 AVENUE DE 1/OPERA, Panis, May 20, 1876, The stormy debate on the amnesty question was adjourned amid noise ana fury, signifying nothing. Its radical promoters were not serious. It was simply a make-believe effort on their part, and done to satisfy their Communistic constituents, The radicals, however, will move a supplementary in- quiry to ix upon. Bonapartist agents the responsi- bility of the Commuutstic troubles, and so revive the amnesty qnestion, which is the only burning one in French politics at present, although nobody can tell here what a day may bring forth to set all the Deputies by the ears. MICHELET’S MEMORY, The translation of the rematns of the historian, Jules Michelet, to Pore 1a Chaise evoked worldwide tributes of respect to his memory, 4 A STUDEN ONGRESS, In this age of international congresses, when almost everything that people could assemble over or in the name of has been used up, it ts refreshing to find something new. Itis now proposed to hold | such a congress of students. This is a prolific idea, and the interesting picture of the youths from the Latin quartér in solemn conclave with bespectacled boys from Heidelberg, budding priests from Rome, ‘Varsity oars from Oxford and young Dons from Saragossa, would be worth a visit, even if their as- sembled wisdom did not set the Seine on fire.” The idea was first mooted in connection with Michelet's funeral. Apropos of students, 1 finda curious in- stance of self-conscionsness in the French stu- dents—namely, their frequent announcement of the fact that they are the great men of the future, and this not merely as individuals, butas a body. It has its grain of truth in it, but when one hears a Knot of Parisian students gravely approving the expression of it one is led to wonder why English and American youths do not portion out the future world between them in the same confident way. A LARGE MEETING. A meeting of about a thousand students was held yesterday to discuss the organization of the pro- posed congress. A large number of students from the: provinces and some foreign students partici- pated in the discussion, The latter will be entertained to-night at a ban- quet by the Parisian students. PUBLIC MORALS, Deputy Rouvier is to be prosecuted for an outrage on public morals. MARSIIAL. NEY'S EXECUTION. The question of mistaken identity regarding Mar- shal Ney's alleged escape to America, despite the historical evidence of his execution after the fall of the First Napoleon, is fidiculed hete, THE EUROPEAN OUTLOOK, Alook around Europe discovers to the close ob- server that England is becoming the monarchical headquarters of Europe. THE REPTILE FUND. The latest emanation thence is.a pressure being brought upon Germany to restore to the King of Hanoyer the $15,000,000 of private property seques_ trated by Germany after the war with Austria, form, ing what is known since in the Bismarckian world as the “reptile fund” and used to suborn the press and serve the purposes of the Prussian secret service generally. TURKEY FALLING TO PIECES. It is the general opinion here that Turkey is break- ing up at last. The indemnity demanded from the Porte for each of the consuls murdered Is $250,000, LES ERINNYRS. ‘The new lyric drama, “Les Erinnyes,” the words of which are by De Lisle and the music by Massenct, was produced on Monday last at the Theatre Lyrique and proved a decided success. It 1s note- worthy that among a light-headed people like tho French @ taste for heavy classical drama should pre- vail, while serious peoples like the English and the Americans should become so fond of French theatri- cal frivolities. L'HOTEL GODBLOT. Tho new piece by MM. Sardou and Crisafulla, en- titled “L’Hote! Godelot,” 13 running the gauntlet of adverse criticism. It is @ wholesale plagiarism from Goldsmith's charining beara “She Stoops to Conquer.” i LE MODRLE, A delicious little piece, “Le Modele,” by M. Louis Leroy, was produced this week at the Palais Royal Theatre. THEATRICAL NOTES. Leonard Kronnstat’s “Ticket-of-Leave Man” has been revided at the Ambiga Comique. It ts probabie that the government subvention to the Theatre Lyrique will be increased to $60,000 per annam, Mile. Jeanne Bernuarat, a sister of the celebrated actress and artist, Sarah Bernhardt, will make her début shortly at the Gymnase. ‘The Bouttes Parisiennes is to produce in Septem- ber a new operetta, which M. Offenbach ts said to be at present finishing in America. Collarius, the inventor of the polka, is dead. ‘The new qnatuor by Signor Verdi 1s to be ex- ected by the famous artists Sivori, Wientawski, Leonard and Servats. “Aida” still draws immense houses here.
