Edwards Pierrepont, United States Minister at the Court of St, James, entertained General Grant and suite at the official residence, Cavendish square, the heart of the Faubourg St. Germain of London, The American embassy is a fine old English mansion of capacious interior and sombre appearance, situated near the gloomy castellated residence of the Duke of Portland, from which Thackeray draws his description of the home of the Marquis of Steyne; Cavendish’ square’ is the’ centre of the homes of the Bentincks’ and the great earls of the Harcourt fam- ily, and was the resting place of the aristocracy when driven from their palatial houses in Soho square by the mob in. 1740. In ite neighborhood is what Ton- hyson calls ‘the lon; unlovely street” street” where young A. H ed, for whom he wrote | “his “In Memoriam.” “It is: now given over to dukes, ministers, noblemen and high class physicians. 4 SPLENDID GATHERING. The mansion of the American Minister was decorated profusely with flowers and bunting and illuminated with glaring lights, under which glittered and flashed, on the breasts. of high officials, jewelled stars and orders, war decorations and rib- bons, making o dazzling coup d'qil as the variegated throng moved through the spa- cious salons and corridors, NOTABLE ABSENCES, Lord Beaconsfield sent his regrets on ac- count of illness, The royal family were also absent, because the Court is in mourn- ing for the Queen of the Netherlands, lately deceased.

Robinson, manager of the Daily News, and Mr, Frank H.

[DY CABLE TO THE BERALD.] Loxpox, June 5, 1877. ‘The world moves! Whatever England’s feelings may be toward America, to General Grant, the head of the conquering American army, she is now in the highest degree friendly. Thus far the journey of the hero of Appomattox has been as triumphant as Shermen’s march to the sea, Pro-slavery Liverpool from the top of its cotton bales welcomed, with civic honors, the man who made cotton bales scarce in that port some twelve to fifteen years ago. Manchester burst into enthusiasm over the gallant American sol- dier, who stopped the whirring and click- ing music of her cotton jennies during the same period. When centering the theatre there the performance paused for the moment, the orchestra struck u “Hail Columbia,” and the operatives in the gallery, many of whom had gone on short commons during the rebellion, cheered vociferously. So much for the blessed operation in England of that law of change which is the law of Nature. F THE GREAT AMERICAN. In honoring Grant the English feel that they are honoring the most distinguished citizen of the United States. Thus it ing to kill the fatted calf in his honor, and several other emblematic abnor- mally adipose animals besides, The Prince of Wales gives a dinner in his honor.om the 2ist inst. The Queen ‘returns to Windsor ; next week from her Highland refige at Bal- moral, and will show the ox-President some royal hospitality. WHAT GRANT THINKS OF 17. General Grant is amazed at his popularity and delighted with his welcome. As show- ing how it has stirred him, I may remark that he has been already driven to speech making. I fancy that he looks forward with no little dread to two years of this sort of thing, particularly for a man who has said that after sixteen years’ service he wanted a rest. However that may be, it is so seductive and pleasing jug} now that he may be pardoned his pleasure, for which of us would not be merry in his place? A GRAND RECEPTION, The reception at Minister Pierrepont's this evening has been immensely successful. The Legation in Cavendish square was in- teriorly decorated with the grandest profu- sion of flowers, with the grand old American flag over all, A BUSH OF APPLICANTS. Since the announcement was made that the Minister would receiye the ex-President, Mrs. Pierrepont has heen overwhelmed with requests for invitations, and out of her good nature acceded until the number of cards out guaranteed perhaps a greater throng than would ordinarily be comfortable. But after all what is a reception withont ao crush ? HEAVEN'S FIRST LAW. Despite the immense crowd, especially of onlookers in Cavendish square, there was not the slightest confusion. Carriages rolled up, occupants moved out and up into the mansion with that absence of surrounding noise and shouting which characterizes your true reception where the ton is bon and the servants properly drilled, On entering the guests were shown into the cloak rooms, on the ground floor, where wraps were left and a last glance in the mirrors taken, Who, even a philosopher, disdains that Inst reflective glance? Certes, not one within my ken. THE RECEPTION PARTY. On ascending to the drawing room floor the guests were announced in the small anteroom where stood Mrs, Pierrepont, General Grant, Colonel Badeau, Mrs. Grant and Mr. Pierrepont in the order giver. Mrs. Pierrepont looked well robed décol- letée in a dress of sherry and black silk trimmed with embroidery and exquisite white lace, Mrs, Grant's dress was canary colored, with overdress and high bodice of brown damask silk. BECRIVING. The guests when presented shook hands first with Mrs. Pierrepont, who pre- sented them to General Grant and suite. This was made @ vey pleasant process. Except in rare instances it could not be extended beyond asentence or two; but then we all know how significant that may be made when on either side is wit, worth or beauty. TO SOLID comMFoRT. From the reception chamber the guests then passed into the large drawing room whose exquisite decorations pleased the eye, while the galaxy of great and high-placed people gave the mind food for admiration or at least lenient criticism. Thence at a later hour the company proceeded to the supper room downstairs, making merry amid cork- poppings and delicacics until one in the morning. GLADSTONE AND DERBY. Among the earliest arrivals were Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone, who remained in the ante- room with General Grant until the arrival of Lord Derby, when the ex-Premier moved loftily away. Gladstone looks like Daniel Webster in little, while Earl Derby reminds one of a highly successful city banker. Derby's face beamed radiontly, as though Bussia was a myth and the Sublime Porte something good to drink. JOHN BRIGHT. Then came John Bright, M. P., silver haired and silver voiced, the first Quaker who held a place in the British Cabinet, and the stanch friend of America. His meeting with Grant was very cordial. ENGLISH PEBRS. He was followed by the Earl of Shaftes- bury, Lord Houghton, tho poet, whose pleasant smile and genial manner were not uhknown to the ex-President, and the Marquis of Ripon, a clever statesman wha served many years in the Cabinet and whom | every lady calls a thoroughly good fellow, SCOTCH LORDS AKD LADIES, Among the succeeding myriads I noticed the youthful face of the Marquis of Lorne, the hnsband of Princess Louise and heir to |. the dukedom of Argyll. He was accom- panied by his sisters. The paternal face of the Earl of Caithness, which is no stranger to America, next gppeared from the throng of honorables. On his arm was the Countess, whose bosom was literally ablaze with diamonds, A VARIOBUM OF NOTABLES, In quick succession came Lord Mayors, past and present, the Past ones Plain, and the ‘present one colored as the print shops have it. Then stalked in, with many a characteristic bow and snlagm, ambassa- dors in glowing uniforms from all the ends of the earth—from Brazil to Cathay. | Now, with that suavity born of complacency to constituents, corrected by the occasional tilts of the forensic arena, come members of ‘| Parliament, while, sandwiched between, are the representatives, in conts or trailing garments, of the oldest families of England. I need not say that I do not mean the Browns and Smiths, who may be old, but have had no college of heralds to count all the sprouts of their family trees, LITERATURE AND MUSIC, There was Robert Browning, the poct ; William Black, the novelist; Edmand Yates, the writer, and Arthur Sullivan, the musician, There were dozens of others whose single entities would inflame the hostess of an ordinary drawing room with pride enough to withstand the boasts of her rivals for six months, but I cannot make my letter a dictionary of authors. . THE AMERICAN COHORT. Every American resident responded to the Minister's invitation. The Morgans and the Peabodys, Mr. James McHenry, Chevalier Wikoff, Mr. G. W. Sinalley, Chief Justice Shea, Mr. Moncure D. Conway, Mr. Newton Crane, Consul at Manchester ; Mra Fairchild, Mrs, Julia Ward Howe and her daughter, Maud ; Mr. and Mrs. Ives, Mrs. Hicks and Miss Nannie Schomberg were among the most prominent. FAULTLESS TOILETS. The immense majority of the dresses of the Indies were in excellent taste, and none The American belles carried away the palm for style and beauty, were censurable. as thoy usnally do on such occasions. BAYING FAREWELL. At half-past twelve Mrs, Pierrepont and General Grant came down stairs and, standing in the lower hall, bade farewell to the parting guests, while Mrs. Grant, Mr. Pierrepont and Colonel Badenu took up position in a separate room, the amiable Secretary of Legation, Mr. William J. Hop- pin, hovering over one and all. The children of both nations !¢f% the legation with a feeling that the tie between them had been strengthened in the generous hos- pitality of the American ropresentative and the cordial response of England's best and greatest. FUTUBE MOVEMENTS. After General Grant has completed his visit to Mr. Pierrepont: he will stop with Colonel Badeau, and then proceed to the Continent. A GBEAT DIscovEnyY. If General Grant's two years’ residence in Europe cements the amity between the Old World and the New he will have sorvod his country to excellent purpose. What is, how- | tal on each side as closely as the special ever, of perhaps greater moment to Ameri- can statesmen, ‘ho will have invented a dateer for et-Presiatits. i KATE FIELD. OLIVE LOGAN'S ACCOUNT: (2 civtt 20 rad ireniup.j Loxpon, June 5, 1877. ‘What glory our Ulysses shares from England ! Are we not proud we ali should share with him? These, if not exactly Shakespeare's words, express my schtiments and those of all Americans I have met since General Grant came over here, What I want to convey is that we are very prond, and the ghost of the Bard of Avon will forgive me if I have substituted the. classic namo of our great soldier for that of the big sulky fellow who loafed in his tent while his fellow Greeks were being hammered with ‘‘woes unnumbered” by the confederates of lofty Ilion. Shakespenre’s curse on him who moved his bones does not, I hope, apply to those who, with laud- able intentions, alter his lines. This night, indeed, the American people have had their pride gratified in the most brilliant way at the reception which was tendered to ex- President Grant in the spacious drawing rooms of our Minister at the Court of St. James, THE SOCIETY DESCRIPTION. Most people who have dived into contem- porary English fiction or who have read the pretty stories told of levées and receptions in London or Paris would be able to fill in for themselves the picture of what to-night’s reception was like; but then they might set about taking off a little tinsel here and ao little grandeur thero, and so would minimize the affair until it looked no brighter than one of the thousand and one affairs that take place here during the sea- son. Thus they would do unconscious injustice to a remarkable historical event, and what I have to say is intended to round off the outline that such meagre information as the stately society man vouchsnfes to his friends; as, for instance— ‘At the Pierreponts’ reception to Grant? Ya-aa; great crush; everybody was there.” Of course Lady Flora has more to say about it, but then, mingled with a little about the “lion” is so much about Her Ladyship's “set” that it would scarcely re- pay the trouble of writing it. “LION” WORSHIP, I don't wish to get too far away from Min- ister Pierrepont’s, but let me touch upon this noble English cultus, the worship of the “tion,” Here fs sodiéty, a blas¢ world of en- Allthat money can purchase it has; but the round of all things eatable, drinkable, wearable, visible, audible and tangible which mere money can procure grows wearisome and may be had, too, with- out ever entering the charmed portals of “society.” Hence was the sovial “lion” in- vented, and aptly enough his popularity is called “the rage.” We have them here season after season of all dimensions, from the right royal monarch of the jungle down to leonunculi about as formidable as My Lady's Maltese terrier with the hair clipped close over his body and a comical little tuft left the end of his saucy tail, while the locks on his neck are left in funny semblance of o mane. In a bad season these diminutive lions, captured out of the Oriental principalities or sume of the many preserves of science or travel, answer very well for society to salaam before. When, however, a genuine “lion” along, the leonuneuli are foresworn, and trot up and down the streets and the club steps without anybody to admire or to pat them. Then the hair grows out over their small, neglected bodies, and they become like Tray, Blanche, Sweetheart-- little dogs all. In President Grant ‘‘so- ciety,” nay, the State, saw a first class lion, and the smaller leonines of all degrees nro, for the moment, put on the shelf. Let us go and seo him, then, attended and sur- rounded by all London's distinguished men and lovely women, the wearers of England's aristocratic and society greatness. THE AMERICAN MINISTER'S. Our road is through the quiet of great West End squares and long, silent streets where the rich and the puissant abide in palatial homes. We find ourselves in St. Jomes’, and at last the carriage turns into the great quadrangle of Cavendish square, with its railed in patch of verdure in the centre and towering mansions on the four sides, All this is dimly seen now, for the night has wrapped the square in shadows save where ruby gleams of subdued bright- ness stream through the closely drawn scar- let silk curtains of the grand old mansion wherein dwells Minister Pierrepont, THY SCENE AT THE DOOR. There is a line of carriages before the door, each quickly depositing its load of beauty and distinction and driving away. Asolid framework has been built over the pavement, supporting an awning. ‘The entire pathway is covered with scarlet car- pet. A number of deferential link bearers, wearing scarlet tunics, move about opening carringe doors and turning on the light of bull's-eyes or square old-fashioned lan- terns, so that no tiny foot in satin shoon shall make a false step. THE WISTFUL CROWD. Beyond in tho street, and lining the por- on comes policemen on duty would allow, are massed in groups detachments of England's poor and hungry to get a glimpse of the fairy land wherein abide riches, beanty, high birth end distinction wom by sword, pen or Bencil, We have as we pasé in buts glance, alas! for those in the street, with the offi- cious policemen pushing them back into the shadows beyond ; but I can hear ono ask an officer, as he recedes :— “Wich is *im ?” “Oo? (gruftly). “Graunt.” ‘E's hin a hour.” JOHN THOMAS. Wide stcod the hospitable doors inside of which, ranged on either side of the hall- way, stood statuesquely or bowed obse- quiously to welcome and direct the guests, ® gorgeous array of footmen in liveries of blue and gold, and showing in silken hose those wondrous padded calves at which jocund Thackeray langhed and whose fair proportions whimsical Léech so often de- picted in Punch. THE FLORAL DECORATIONS. The second glance after entering the doors brings, to the eye a beantiful vision of rich colors, and to the sense the perfumes of a thousand flowers. Flowers everywhere! From ground to roof, peeping in clusters of brilliant blooms from amid cool frameworks of rich greens, they glow in the mellow light of the chandeliers like gems, until their fragrance seems a thing almost palpa- ble.. Amid the surging crowd of guests, some in gay military or diplomatic uniforms, others in floating billows of lace or warm shining seas of silk one hears on all sides the comment that no such floral dis- play has ever been seen before in a private mansion in London, “(WITH THE cotons.” . From the balcony of the topmost story depend groups of American flags in gay, saucy, bright, new hues of red, white and bine silk. They seom put there as re- minders of the great days gone by amid the Southern swamps, when Grant, under his well worn standard, tattered, torn and faded, performed deeds of valor that good men and true remember, THE RECEPTION CHAMBER. In the elegantand flower adorned bondoir at the head of the stairs stood Mrs, Pierre- pont and General Grant in the order named. Directly behind General Grant was stationed Colonel A. Badeau, who is actually United States Consul General, bnt who during Grant's stay acts as his Aide-de-camp In waiting, permission having” been received from the proper atthorities to allow him to perform this service near his old com- mander. EX-PREMIER AND 2X-PRESIDENT, At the moment of my approach I find the ex-Premier of England, Mr. Gladstone, being presented to the ex-President and warmly pressing his hand and congratulat- ing him, while the stately and even beanti- ful Mrs. Gladstone, dressed in a delicate costume of blue and white, with a cluster of fine diamonds setting off the long blue plume in her hair, is discoursing with Mrs. Grant. QUAKER AND FRIEXD OF THE UXION. Scarcely has the ex-Premier passed on when the imposing head of John Bright, Quaker, reformer, liberal leader and out- spoken friend of the Union in its dark days, is seen. Crowned with a wealth of snowy hair which surmounts the massive, cheery face, the head of this man of the people would be notable in any gathering, and is doubly so here, as the grand old Quaker shakes hands with the General. PEERS AND PRERESSES, Hither comes the usually solemn faced Earl Derby without the weight of the Eastern ques- tion on his shoulders ; after him the Earl of Shaftesbury, of beneficent doings, and then the Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster, perhaps the richest peer in England ; nay, half the peers and peeresses of the realm. A WONDERFUL PICTURE. Oh, but for time and space to tell the tale of the gorgeous pageantry which moves be- fore the eyes, now shifting into brilliant groups, now breaking into spots of color, changing and mingling in charming perplexity, but all dazzling the sense not alone by gorgeous tints or subtle tones, but in the added thought that the mon and | women who give being to the throng are the essence of the wealth, the beauty and the might of Old England, {[t is perhaps the most brilliant social episode in the history of the American nation, “Washington never enjoyed anything like it,” said one distinguished American when the Marchioness of Westminister, smiling her sweetest, was talking to Grant, while half a dozen countesses were waiting for » chance to have a word with him. BEAUTIFUL AMERICANS, Besides the gathering of the nobility the reception has brought hundreds of Ameri- cans, drawn hither from all parts of Europe in the desire to be present at the féte. Beautiful American women are here in great number, among whom none is more admired than Mrs. Hicks, of New York, who is chatting a good deal with Lord William Lennox, to whom, rumor says, she is af- fianced, Nevertheless, her hearers say she « raturning to New York soon. — 4 PLAIN DRESS COAT. General Grant is attired in plain evening dress, which is conspicuous in its plainness amid the stars, garters and ribbons worn by many of lesser note; even the Japanese Minister is more gorgeous. As for the Chi- Hise Embassy, no tea chest ever equalled their curious splendor. I hear many re- grets that Grant did not wear the uniform, that the English people might see the im- posing garb, MBS. GRANT AND MRS. PIERREPONT. Mrs. Grant wears a toilet of claret-colored stamped velvet and cream satin, bigh- necked and with long sleeves, Mrs. Pierrepont isclad in an elaborate cos+ tume of scarlet and black. THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON. Perhaps the most conspicuous person after General Grant is the Lord Mayor of London, rigged out in the odd parapher- nalin of his office, with his long cloak and massive gold chain. It is as good as a feast to see this rosy, good-natured potentate gossiping pleasantly with those presented to him, and not seeming a bit prond, though only to be lord fora twelvemonth—-a fact one would imagine enough to stiffen him into the seventh heaven of arrogance. HOW HE MOVES, He easily makes his way through the crowd, which is so dense that other people have to be motionless ; but is he not ‘Lord Mayor—o king sitting where all is money-— and High Cockalorum of Temple Bar, *throngh which even the Queen may not pass without his high and mighty permis- sion? GRANT LOOKS WEL Every one remarks how well the General looks. Surrounded by fine specimens of English manhood, through whose’ sturdy veins courses the bluest blood, the robust form and rosy face of Grant are conspicuous in their healthy appearance. Mr. Glad- stone's complexion had the hue of illness when his face was near Grant's, and Mr. Bright's pallor was noticeable. “He looks like a soldier,” said a viscount- ess by my side to a right honorable with a scarlet ribbon at his neck. “He is undoubtedly the greatest warrior of his age,” was the response. CALM AND UNROFFLED, So flowed the stream of conversation, while he to whom all this honor was paid stood with a bearing as composedand un- fluttered as when in “Ole Virginny” the drum tap beat to action, and the boys went marching along. OLIVE LOGAN, A VISIT TO HIS DAUGHTER [br CABLE TO THE HERALD, ] Loxpos, June 7, 1877. Genera!
