He said he was under a vow not to speak. He had been under the necessity of refusing to attend, and certainly to speak, at any public meeting whatever for months to come.

He had written himself out of all engagements in England, Scotland, and Ireland (laughter) and it was nothing but the attractions of this lady (applause and laughter) and the noble cause in which she was engaged that brought him there that night. He had the deepest sympathy for this cause and he might say for his brethren of the clergy, that he believed they sympathised with him in that feeling.

Virtue. Belfast J. Harion, Waring Street. Containing, as it does, the first part of the illustrated catalogue of the Great Exhibition of 1862, this number is, perhaps, the most interesting that has ever been issued by the proprietors of the Art Journal and quite irrespective of the catalogue, it is not in any respect behind its predecessors. There are two admirablelineengraviiigs onefromMr.

A. Johnson's picture, The Sabbath Eve," in which the figures are grouped in a manner worthy of Wilkie; the second from Turner's charming work, "The Sun Rising in a Mist." The engraving of this picture is wonderfully executed, and all the dreaminess of the original is given to the middle distance, contrasting fully with the distinct lines and busy groups of the foreground. The Illustrated International Catalogue" occupies twenty-four pages, and every page is crowded with engravings produced in the highest style. First come selections from the contributions of the well-known house of Hunt Eoskell, formerly Storr Mortimer," and many articles are represented at once perfect in design and finish, including cups, vases, and articles of jewellery. Amongst the contributions of other houses is an exquisite cup cut from a solid topaz, and mounted in pure gold.

The design of this exquisite bijou is beyond praise, and on the workmanship, the celebrated artist, M. Chesnois, has been engaged two years. The "Catalogue" reflects the utmost credit on the proprietors of the Art Journal and the numbers containing it will be eagerly purchased. It will be, in itself, one of the best and richest products of the Exhibition. THE TOUE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.

Alexandria, March 21. My. last letter mentioned tie departure of the Prince of Wales for Upper Egypt. To-day, intelligence has come that bi.8 Royal Highness had reached ThebeB on his way back to Cairo, where he may be expected within the next few days. The party proceeded up the Nile to the first cataract, the limit of their voyage, according' to the usual plan of travellers, with as little delay, as possible, though not without the incidents of sand-banks and rocks, which, at this bite season, render the navigation of the rapidly-sinking river so difficult.

The first sight of an Egyptian temple which the Prince enjoyed waa at Esneh, where, during the necessary halt by night on the upward voyage, the Roman portico of that temple was well seen by torch-light. From Assouan he visited Philae, the holy island, on the frontiers of Egypt and Nubia and, after exploring its picturesque group of temples, returned the same day to Assouan, and immediately commenced the descent of the river. Edfou, which within the last few years has been entirely cleared, by order of the Viceroy, now presents a complete plan the only one in existence of ah Egyptian temple, and thus affords to travellers in Upper Fgypt something of the same information which could formerly be obtained only by the sight of the rock temple of Abou Simon, in Nubia. This instructive' example of Egyptian architecture was the first which the Prince witnessed on downward voyage, and was a good preparation for the magnificent confusion of Thebes, which he reached on the night of the 15th, with the intention of remaining three days. The first was spent on the Eastern bank of the river, among the ruins of Kamac and the day being Sunday, his Royal Highness and suite attended Divine service, which was performed in the great hall of that splendid temple by the Rev.

Professor Stanley. The second and third days were to be devoted to the temple and the tombs on the Western bank, after which bis Royal Highness intended to return to Cairo, visiting the chief objects of interest on tho way. weather has been singularly propitious. The Southernmost limit of his Royal High-ness's voyage was marked by the portent of a cloudy day and a rainy night, unusual at all times in Upper Egypt, and especially rare so late in the season. The Prince has also been enabled to combine his love of sport with the'other objects of his tour, especially at Edfouand between Esnehand Thebes.

The health of the Prince and his suite continues unimpaired. GARIBALDI' AND THE ITALIAN CRISIS. FBOM'THE MOBNTHa POBI. The two addresses by Garibaldi t6 the Italian clergy, just published in the Turin journals, are documents equally characteristic of their author and of the remarkable epoch in Ms oountry'B history at whieh they have appeared. The theology of Garibaldi' may be summed up in two or three very simple articles.

The consecration, by religion, of ithe liberty, equality, and fraternity which the soldiers of democracy would gladly help to establish in every-region of the globe the identificationin Italy, of the Roman Catholic priesthood with the national cause; are to him the chief ends of pulpit oratory and parochial teaching. In the address to the Italian priests, circulated some three months ago, but now published for the first time, Garibaldi had told them that a sublime mission was being opened up to the true ministers of Christ in the Italian peninsula that, except by stifling the voice of conscience, they could not remain the accomplices of what was done at Rome, to the injury of the "common country; that they should 'fight the go6d fight for the best interests of the human race; that they Should diffuse among the people the holy word of the religion of truth, and that a grateful country would insoribe their names amongst those of the heroic sons by whose efforts she had been redeemed from bondage. -It may be presumed that 'the' patriotic 'exhortations of that -first address did not produoe the effects amongst the Italian priesthood' which Garibaldi had fondly looked for. The second address, issued from Genoa on the 12th of this current month, is in a sharper tone. Gari-baldi here tells the Italian priests that he has no intention of dwelling too severely on their past conduct, but if, in future, a good understanding is to be maintained between the Italian laity and the Italian priesthood, it must be on the condition of the latter turning away from evil and learning to do good.

Hitherto, he says, their work has been one of unmitigated evil. They have converted Rome into a den of wild beasts, ravening for the destruction of Italy. The cardinals, Garibaldi tells the Italian-priests, are doomed. If they can still be saved, well and good; but if not, let the Italian clergy loudly and emphatioally proclaim that they separate their own interests and hopes from those of the purple tyrants of the Vatican, and let them preach from, their pulpits the dootrines that their country must be-made free, and that the Vatican will incur eternal damnation-. The Italian priest, Garibaldi affirms, who proclaims these truths, will receive first, the approval of his own oonsoience and next, the gratitude of millions of his fellow-countrymen.

If the Italian priests are to be regarded as brothers by the Italian laity, it can only be on the condition of their returning to that ancient Christianity which taught self-sacrifice, mutual forgiveness, and the sacred truth of the equality of all mankind. The most suggestive commentary on these addresses of Garibaldi is to be found- in the riots by which the peace of Naples was disturbed on the 15th. They owed their rise to the 'sermon preached by a reactionary priest named Cocozza, in the Church of San Severino, situated in the immediate neighbourhood of the University of Naples. Liberals, constitutionalists, patriots, Protestants, and Atheists appear to have been all jumbled together by this Ket-tledrummle of Neapolitan reaction in one farrago of abuse. Amongst the congregation were some of the students from the neighbouring university.

They are reported to have given utterance to their disgust in tolerably strong language. Instantly they were surrounded by the mob, pursued as far as the university, where the lazzaroni, their assailants, rushed in after them, and a general melee ensued several companies of the troops had to be called out before the tumult was appeased but this did not occur until several of theoombatants on both sides were wounded. Meanwhile the charges of Protestantism and Atheism, which had been hurled against the professors and students from the pulpit of San Severino, were caught up in other parts of the city, and screamed out by furious beldames in the middle of the streets. All who sent their children to schoolB or colleges not under the exclusive superintendence of the priests, were denounced to the vengeance of the mob. These acts of reactionary violence stand but too closely and clearly in connexion with the centre of all Bourbonite and reactionary intrigues with Rome.

It appears that, on the same day, reactionary risings were intended to take place (and did partially occur) at other points of the Neapolitan territory. From tho number of functionaries appointed under the old Bourbon regime, still filling the bench in the Neapolitan criminal courts, the actors in these scenes calculate on a sure acquittal in the event of their being made omenable to justice. The old Bourbonite element is likewise very strong in the Neapolitan police force. Whilst these Bourbonite partisans know that the ex-King is still allowed to remain at Rome, and to plot against the peace of his former dominions with impunity, they; cannot bring themselves to believe that his cause is wholly lost. They are, therefore anxious to secure to themselves a locus penitential, to curry favor with the power whioh may be again and not to commit themselves altogether irretrievably in the cause of King Victor Emmanuel and Italian unity and independence.

The Neapolitan police are said, in accordance with this feeling, to have lately winked at the transmission to Rome of a number of cases containing the Peter's pence contributed by the faithful to meet the more pressing wants of the Holy See. It is in accordance with the same feeling that they do dot exhibit the requisite vigilance in proceeding against and putting down riots like those of the 15th, There is a thorough understanding between them and the priests, who are the real instigators of all these disturbances. The addresses of Garibaldi, especially the last address from Genoa, show to what very serious consequences the antagonism between the Italian priesthood and the Italian laity must ere long lead. Let it; be remembered that the words of Garibaldi are received almost as the inspiration of a prophet by millions throughout the Italian peninsula. It is a strange sign of the times one of which the magnitude cannot be over-estimated that the patriotic leader to whom the Italians look up with so enthusiastic and passionate an idolatry should impress upon the priesthood of his country, as a sacred duty, their announcing in plain language to their fioeks that the Vatican and all its inmates are hopelessly doomed to ago in a way which he considered was most suitable to his profession.

He never was a smuggler but once. (Laughter.) He disapproved of all kinds of smuggling, and had never been a party to anything of the kind, save in smuggling tho Word of God into Italy, which he was a party to many years ago, (Applause.) He once attended a meeting in this city, which was addressed by a lady of color, to advocate the cause oi the enslaved America, and he had the honor on that occasion of doing what he supposed no Yankee would do walking arm-in-arm with that lady of color to the platform. Now, it might be said that ladies stepped out of their province in addressing public meetings of that kind, but when a lady had got a good cause, and had got a head, and had got a heart, and had got such a tongue (laughter) as the lady who had addressed them that evening, he thought that the male sex, clergy and all, would do well to come there and learn a lesson from her. (Applause and laughter.) He was not sure that he altogether agreed with his distinguished friend in wishing a very speedy settlement of the Roman question. He was sure that all who knew him know that he had no sympathy with the Pope (cheers) that he had no sympathy with the temporal, and.

far less with the spiritual, power of the Pope but ho was inclined to think that the longer the Pope stuck to Rome, the wider would become the breach between the Pope and the Roman people. The longer the sore ran, the deeper would be the wound and the less chance of healing it up. (Applause.) He did not envy the Pope his seat upon 30,000 French bayonets. He was sure the poor old man or the poor shrivelled image in the niche as the lady had called him (laughter) would find himself much more comfortable elsewhere. He anticipated a glorious future for Italy.

He found, on visiting that country last year, that the spiritual was advancing pari passu with the temporal, and for himself, he had always believed, and would continue to believe, that in order that liberty should stand on a solid basis, she should stand on spiritual freedom, or she would not stand long. (Applause.) He had been forced to speak against his will, and he could only say that he had great pleasure in seconding the motion of the gentleman on his right hand, to return the thanks of that whole assembly to this noble-hearted lady for the admirable, interesting, instinctive, and stirring address which she has delivered. (Loud cheers.) dtfimitemai REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE DURING THE PAST WEEK. FROM THE MARK LANE EXPRESS OP MONDAY. The past week has been warm and wet, and altogether unfitted for labours in the field.

The further sowing of Spring corn is impeded, as isthe beneficial thrashing of wheat but the grass lands are renewing their growth, as well as the young corn, and all vegetation has been pushing forward, giving the prospect of an early harvest. The sudden changes, however, of this climate make all calculations unsafe. The markets continue to show the unfavorable influence of the weather on prices, which have been still declining, and tho opening of the Baltic before granary stores are much reduced is not likely to stop the movement. This can only be done by short markets in the country. The matter, therefore, is in the hands of those who yet hold stocks, which in many places are said to be getting very low but no serious falling-off yet appears in the weekly returns.

These since harvest have averaged an excess of 30,000 qrs. weekly beyond the previous year. Such free deliveries upon a deficient crop must eventually tell, unless made up by adequate imports. But to make these there is no inducement to merchants here hi the relative position of prices, while to foreign growers tho rates are high, and as appearances on the ground are generally favorable, much is likely to come forward. Notwithstanding all that had been said of the serious deficiency of the French crops, markets kept drooping in that country, the price of wheat in Paris being down about 3s per qr.

Arrivals, again, are appealing in the Baltic, where the river navigation has been resumed, and holders there appear willing to take less money. Forced sales have been made at Hambro' at 2s per qr. abatement. Leghorn, where there was a great deficiency of native wheat, is now overdone with foreign supplies, Venice and Trieste being also cheaper, excepting for maize, which is much in demand. Odessa is apparently in an expectant attitude, and unwilling to quote lower rates, without sufficient business and New York odviccM are very dull.

The sales reported of floating cargoes of wheat this week were rather in favor of buyers, and it has been the same with other grain. The deliveries of wheat noted last week were 78,300 qrs. at 59s 5d, against 65,778 qrs. in 1861. The London averages were 61s 2d on 1,296 qrs.

The arrivals into the principal ports of Great Britain for the week ending March 19, in wheat and flour were equal to 84,050 qrs. wheat, of which 42 qrs. were from the colonies. The wheat trade in the country has again been very unsatisfactory, chiefly through the unfavorable character of the weather, which seriously affected the bulk of the samples exhibited. There was scarcely anything diy, and the value of such was little changed but for secondary qualities most markets were down Is per qr.

This was the case at Hull, Bii'mingham, Spalding, Bourn, Louth, Gainsborough, Lynn, Melton Mowbray, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Burton-on-Trent, and Bristol. Spring com has generally kept declining in value, barley excepted. The supply of home produce at Dublin was moderate, and rates unaltered, excepting fine oats, which were held for 6d per barrel advance. Foreign wheat was dull, at Is per qr. decline, and maize was very heavy and neglected.

Some later reports from Ireland were rather improved for wheat. LONDON, Monday, Makch 81. Grain. Wa have tho arrivals oi English wheat small, and we liavo only moderate arrivals from abroad.

On Tuesday, it. was rumored tnat.he was ooming oacK witn tne the. President's order, relieving him -from the com- jiicuiu vi uie wnoie oi tne army, lanu resuicimg mm to thecorps on the Potomac. iThe most tremendous invectives are hurled at him in the columns of the New York 2YMne. As a specimen, take the paper and read the cwfespohdence of March 13th.

If he comes dbck nere, it is evident to ail ne is lost; ne cannot stay where he The Question is. Can he or will he go on?" The mischief of railway com munications in sncn a country as America is, tnai in States not mnbh developed they have prevented the enrtfltrrirttirm nf cnnrl mnxta. nr bb.vfi' led to their neglect and ruin. When, therefore, tie rail is destroyed and the bridges blown up, it is difficult to move an army difficult, hut by no means impossible. The moment General1 M'Clellan found the enemy moving, he should have pressed on them and kept them going, always supposing that he had the means of doing so.

If he had not, whose fault is or was it? General M'Clellan has been "master of the situation" up to a short time ago. Never had general such advantages unlimited confidence, a vast army, abundant supplies, the largest transport possible, railway communications, fine weather, good material I shall not pretend to criticise his military Ab I have never been an extravagant eulogist of a general who had never been tried, so will not join in the senseless invective which denies to' him all merit whatever. It strikes me that he was over-: staffed, that he had undertaken or been ordered to do that which was beyond his capacity, and that he was unfortunate in having around him gentlemen' who seemed to believe they had a right to think for him, who opened his letters and did not answer them, and screened him from view, as though the virtue would go out of him by exposure to the public. But that he is a soldier of conduct and skill I am, fully in-clinedto beUeve he loves his profession hd is well acquainted with its principles; ho has gained the regards of the army; and if to-morrow he fought and won a great battle he would be master of the; situation once'more and do whatever he pleased with1 the people. The account of his first council of given in the New York Tribune, is very extraordi-; nary, if true, as it seems to be.

Nor should it be forgotten that the Generals of Division were divided on tho question of carrying out the President's instructions to attack the enemy, and that the majority of eight to four were against the feasibility of its execution, the dissentients in favor of action M'Dowell, Heintzelman, Keyes, and Stunner being those just named to command separate corps d'armee. It is represented that the General has fallen very much into disfavor at the White House, and there are people who really think Mr. Lincoln was serious when he said he would take the field at the head of the army, if there was no other way of Btirring it. It is probable that General M'Clellan will now leave a garrison force in the works covering the city of Washington, and will move his corps to operate from the waterside if he gets time enough to prepare for such an expedition. On this point speculation is useless.

The contest between the Monitor and the Merri-mac diverted attention for the time, and still attracts much notice. The common remark is that the naval supremacy of Great Britain' is disposed of, and that no town can be rendered safe by fortifications. It certainly is a matter to talk about and think over. If the Merriniac could be fitted up by the Confederated and effect such enormous mischief, what could not bo done by a ship built for the purpose The pilot turrets are weak points. In the Mississippi gunboats the pilots refuse to take charge of the gunboats after the recent experiences at Forts Henry and Don-nellson.

It is impossible to suppose that Mr. Davis, if he has the smallest military enterprise, will not overwhelm Burnside before he is How he allowed Banks to remain unmolested is beyond understanding also- But, in fact, nothing is known here of the numbers', views, and movements of the Confederates except what they like to tell. It is wonderful that they could so long conceal their weakness at Centreville and Manassas. They repeated the wooden-gun trick and the "quaker" delusion once again but I shall not say a word about the defences till I have had an opportunity of seeing them. The Union feeling could not be very great to have kept all this in tho dark.

It is'said that the General never know of his removal from command of ail the ariny till he read the order in one of the papers. General Freeman's command is accepted by the people without so much surprise as might be expected. The Germans and Abolitionists are playing round the tub that has been thrown to them with great delight. The country is not yet aware of the causes for irritation which exist in Washington against General M'Clellan and his want of success. The politicians had set their minds on a great battle to wipe out the stains of Bull Rim.

The advance made' under the circumstances relator! partially satisfied the people. It is obvious that it wuu xue retreat or tne enemy on Sunday which caused the onward movement of the Federals oh Monday, and that the retreat did not take place in consequence of the advance. It is not possible to say how far it may have been caused by the apprehension of being outflanked by a larger force, but it is plain that Mr. Jefferson Davis had made up his mind to withdraw the Confederates within narrower lines wnen ne aenvered His Message to his Congress, admitting they had attempted to accomplish more than lay in their power. Winchester is now evacuated by Jackson, and is in the occupation of Banks.

The Confederates have fallen back to Strasburg, 18 miles South-West of Winchester, the Western terminus of the Manassas Gap Railroad. Gordonsville, on which the main body of the force at Monassas is believed to have retired, is on the railroad to Richmond, and is in direct communication with the Western and Central Virginia, Tennessee, and all the South and West. The fears respecting an attack on Burnside have not yet been allayed but he is aware of the retirement of the Confederates from Manassas and the chance of being attacked by them, and will be prepared accordingly. Yesterday, men were sent off in 40 steamers and other vessels down the Potomac, no doubt to reinforce him. A flotilla, with great quantities of stores, is lying under the guns of Fortress Monroe.

If the Quartermaster's Department fail to supply the troops out at Manassas, they' must be withdrawn and I think it will be found that General M'Clellan will return to Washington with the greater part of Mb army, and commence operations in another quarter. As was supposed, the tax on flour has been rejected. Canada will not gain the fortune she might have expected in case the impost was retained.

C. Dallas sdine account of the visits which those gentlemen have lately paid to Spain, to inquire into, and if possible, ameliorate the condition of those Protestants who are now nn-dcrgoing imprisonment in that country for the profession of their faith. General Alexander gave a very! interesting account of his mission. He had satisfactory interviews with Lord Clarendon and Lord Russell, and Lord Russell gave him a letter of introduction to Sir John Crampton, our Minister at Madrid. He had also credentials from the Geneva Conference M.

Guizot, at Paris, he found, was actively engaged in getting up a representation on the subject to the Cortes. He saw Lord Cowley, who gave him an introduction to M. Thouvenel, the French Foreign Minister, who gave him an open letter of introduc-' tionto M. Barrot, the French Minister at M. Thouvenel expressed his sympathy with the ob-, jects of the General's mission, and commended him: to M.

Barrot for such: non-official assistance as it might be in his power to render. He arrived at Mad-, lid, and saw Sir John Crampton, who warmly syin-' pathised with, the object of his mission, and gave him good advice. At Paris and Geneva, he got letters of introduction to the Duo de Montpensier, and also to Count! Stackelberg, the Prussian Minister at Madrid. The Due de Montpensier wrote very kindly, and said that, if the matter had been put in the form of a peti-, tion, he would have presented it to his the Qtieen, and he expressed himself in, the kindest manner. Count Stackelberg received him with all the warmth of a fellow-Christian.

Marshal O'Donnell said that, if he came as a private English gentleman he would receive him but that he, could not do so if. he came in any representative way from any of the English societies. He frankly placed before his Excellency the nature and objects of his mission, and admitted that a society in London had made all the arrangements. He gave the Marshal Dr. Merle minute, and stated that he would throw himself upon the magnanimity of his Excellency and of the Queen, with reference to his, co-religionistsi His Excellency said he would call the, attention, oi his colleagues to the matter, and he ypuld place the documents before them.

He said that the, revolution nary party had been very and that the masses conf ounded Protestantism and the revolutionists together, as both introduced the Bible and spoke of civil and religious liberty. His Excellency, spoke in complimentary pterins of the Queen of England! and alBO of the British army.

The Cardinal sud' ho did- not fear Is-lamlsm, but he did fear Protestantism, and he cautioned the Government not to grant it any liberty in But he felt convinced jtfiat if the question rested solely with O'Donnell, no one would any longer be persecuted in Spain on account of his religious convictions. TheGeneral concluded by saying that his mission, he believed, had been a complete success.

The papers collected in this neat little volume were first published in All the Year Bound," where they deservedly attracted very great attention. The style of the sketches," as the author somewhat disparagingly calls them, is light and agreeable.

There are four chapters the first, The Disease the second, The Operation the third, The Cure and the fourth refers to Judge Longfield's proposal for the transfer of property. In chapters one, two, and throe Ireland is represented first as a patient at the last gasp then as undergoing an operation, painful, but essential; lastly, as healed.

Abd-el-Kader's Present to the Emperor Napoleon. Two of the most perfect horses that Abd-el-Kader has been able to find, after a long search, in all Arabia are on their way to Paris as a present to the Emperor. Writing of them to General Fleury, Abd-el-Kadcr says I have found a dark bay stallion with black mane and tail, rising seven years old, such as is not to be matched in all the tribes of the desert. His reputation is so great that the Bedouin Arabs would take a twenty days' journey, and more, to take a mare to him. I have besides selected a three-year-old colt, who, for beauty and noble race, is unequalled.

The Arabs can trace his family for fifty generations, pure from any crossing. Desiring to present these horses to bis Majesty, I beg your Excellency to send the necessary orders to the French consul atBeyront to have them embarked with the grooms in charge of them."

The Court Times says We have heard lately of some very musical lines, written by Lord Carlislo upon a tree which died in the grounds of the Viceregal Lodge in the Phconix Park, and which had been planted by the first Lady Eglinton. Twelve months did not elapse before both were gone the fair lady so fondly loved, and the tree which she had planted with her own hand as a memento of her stay in Ireland. So run the lines, which are inscribed on a tablet erected over the spot whorethe tree was Poor tree Another mistress placed thee here To be the glory of the glade around Scarce o'er thy head has passed a single year, And she, too, lies beneath another raound But mark 1 What different terms your fates allow, Though like the period of your swift decay Thine is the sapless trunk and leafless bough, Hers the green memory and eternal day I A PARISIAN FANCY DRESS BALL. A magnificent fancy dress ball was given on Thursday night last, at the Hotel of the Interior, by Count and the Countess de Persigny.

The fete commenced at midnight in order to bring it within the Mi-Careme, and almost immediately after the splendid rooms were filled with a crowd of the very highest personages in Paris Ministers, Marshals, Members of the Diplomatic Body, and the elite of the fashionable world. The various suites of apartments were dazzling with lights, flowers, and the richest hangings, and a long temporary gallery constructed outside in the garden, and running along the whole Northern facade of the hotel, enabled the thousands of guests to communicate with the various saloons without impediment. The Countess de Persigny in a most ingeniously-devised costume representing a Winter's night with flakes of snow, and the Count in a domino, received with most perfect grace the guest at the entrance into the long suite of roomB. The Princess Anna Murat was dressed as a Neapolitan, and the Princess Christine Bonaparte as a Myosotis, her dress being covered with blue flowers. The Countess Walewski, wore a gipsy costume of blue and crimson satin, and the Count a Venetiandominoe.

The Countess de Moray was a Pierrette, white satin and blue buttons Mdme. Alphonse de Rothschild appeared as a Hebe of the time of Louis XV. and Mdme. Gustave de Rothschild in a dress covered with ivy and margnrites, sprinkled with emeralds the three daughters of Marshal Magnan appeared one as a bee, another as a Scotch huntress, and the third in a dress sprinkled with red camelias Mdme. Mag-nan, was in a modern Greek dress; Mdme.

Pereira represented an Angel Mdme. Erlinger in a harlequin dress of red and black Mdme. Emile de Girardine appeared as a Marquise of Louis followed by a page, and holding a lofty parasol and Mdme Leopold Lehon, in a dress covered with cherries. Prince de la Moscowa wore the dress of a Reitre, chief of German mercenaries in the middle ages. Prince de Demidoff was in the costume of a marquis of the ancient Court, wearing in his laced cravat the famous Saucy diamond.

Count de Luteroth wore a dress representing Gambling one-half red velvet and the other black (rouge-et-noir), with a girdle embroidered with playing cards, pieces of gold, and bank notes, and having at one side a full purse, and at the other an empty one. M. Cordior Randouiu appeared as Don Quixote on horseback, and Sancho Panza on his ass. A person, whose name we could not learn, wore a costume representing on one side marriage, and on the other widowhood. Notwithstanding that there were two admh'ably-aiTanged ball-rooms, with Strauss's orchestra playing their most inviting music in one, there was but comparatively little dancing, the spectacle of the splendid and most original costumes being infinitely more attractive.

Two spacious rooms fitted up as salons-de-conversation, were during the night constantly occupied, and it was even said that an illustrious personage appeared there more than once in a black dominoe when going through the rooms. Every kind of refreshment was furnished in profusion', there being a magnificently supplied buffet open the whole night, and a regular sit down supper at separate tables afterwards. The variety of this splendid fete was enmess, ana morning iouna the guests, as they were retiring, still doubtful whether they ought most to admire the splendour of the entertainment, the beauty and elegance of the costumes, or the exquisite grace ana urbanity witn which the Count and Conn tess de Persigny did the honors of the fete. Galig- num. Enolish Ladies and "Distinguished A trial of remarkable interest and one particularly interesting to English ladies with a penchant for foreign alliances, took placo on March 21.

before the Imperial Court of Paris, presided over by the First President, Devienne. In April, 1857, Miss Clementine Thompson, an English lady, aged twenty, was married in England to a French gentleman, calling mmseii dean josepn, jrrince cie itohan de Denis, do lonrondel, aged sixty-eight, since deceased, The witnesses of the marriage were Lord Claren don, Lord and Lady Palmerston, and several other persons of high rank. The husband died week after the marriage, and, as it is alleged. in a gallopmg consumption. A son was.

however. bom in Paris eight months after the marriage, and una son was registoreu ma zatner names, at tne Maine of the 10th aiTondissement. The widow. ever since 1857, has called herself the' Princess de Rohan, and her infant son the Prince de Rohan. In February, 1858, tho Prince de Camille de Rohan cited Madame de Rohan de Fenis before the civil tribunal of the Seme, to show cause why she should not no loroidden to bear the name of Rohan.

Madame do Rohan do Fenis pleaded that the Prince, being an Austrian subject, could not appeal to the French tribunals on the matter but the objection was overruled, tne cause was tried, and tne tribunal gave a judgment prohibiting Madame de Rohan de Fenis and her son from bearing tho name of Rohan, and ordering that the registration of the child should be rectified. From that judgment the lady appealed. The Appeal Court, confirming the judgment of the Court below, held that Madame de Fenis nee Thompson) had no right either to the title of princess or tho name of Rohan, and restrained her from using them. This is a terrible lesson to ladies who aspire a- i. iu linuiy uisimyuisiieu lureigiiers.

Agreeable It is decidedly the-reverse of a'pleasant surprise, when, having entertained vour friend and his charming wife and interesting young iiwiiij iui weeiv ur lurimyui, you pan witn expressions of sincere regret and affectionate promises to meet agam shortly, xou send them off to the railway station in your carriage, and their luggage in the Coburg cart, and return to your ordinary avocations. Hali-an-hour afterwards the carriage and the cart drive up to the door and disembogue your friend, his charming wife, and interesting young family, with their thirteen corded trunks duly labelled, once more in your entrance-hall, in consequence of having missed the train by two minutes and a-quarter. If dearest mends would make a clean breast of it, this unexpected realisation of their hopes to meet again shortly is anything but a pleasant surprise. The process of onee more welcoming the involuntary guests, and if there is no other train that day, locating them in apartments which, had been already abandoned to the attentions of the housemaid, providing aeririn fni their conveyance to the station, and going through uio uuiemony 01 leave-taiung witn expressions of renewed regret and doadly-livolv hones of meetiner airam shortly these are trials which test the strength of the most ardent affection and shake the foundations of uus-iuug inenasnip. A Rich and Gay Hairdresser.

An application has been made to the Civil Tribunal to prolong the powers of a person who had been appointed a provisional guardian to the estate of an old man who died in the Rue St. Nicholas, in January laBt, and who had long been known to the neighbours as tho the juge. de paix went to seal up his property to secure it for the rightful owners, he found an immense quantity of jewellery, consisting of diainond rings, bracelets, brooches, also in eash, and a red pocket-book full of love-letters, addressed by ladies of high rank to Peter Frederick Scheult From these it was ascertained that tho deceased was once the fashionable hairdresser of the French Court during the first empire and the two succeeding reigns. Scheult was a Pomeranian by birth, but having attained great excellence in Mb profession, he came to Paris, and got appointed bead hairdresser at Court. He held that post till 1830, when ho had amnHRnd fortune of about He then purchased the domain of Montcient, near Nantes, where he always passed the fine season in a little cottage which he had built for the purpose.

The room he ocenpied in Paris was a miserable hole, dirty, and with scarcely any furniture. As the deceased died without a will, and his relatives are all in Pomerania, considerable time will be required to realize the estate, and therefore the prolongation of powers was granted as demanded.

There waB a fair'ave! rage supply of foreign stock on offer here to-day, in, for the most part, good condition. Sales progressed slowly, at drooping currencies. From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, the arrivals of be.asts fresh up this morning were large for the time ol ear and their general quality was very, prime, especially the Scots, shorthorns, and crossea. Although the attendance of buyers was tolerably numerous the beef trade was' in a depressed state, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. The very best Scots and crosses sold at 4s 4d but many really prime beasts changed hanAs at in 2d and even 4s per 81bs.

Tho reooipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire comprised 2,700 Scots, shorthorns, aiid crosses; from other parts of England, 950 various breeds; from Scotland, 400 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 150 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was good, both as to numbers and quality. Downs andhalf-breds in the wool, were in steady request, lit prioes nearly equal to those realised on this day B6'nnight-the extreme quotations being 5s 8.3 per stherwiso the' mutton trade was very dull, and the currencies gave way 2d per 81bs. Prime Downs, out of the sold at 4s lOd per 81bs. were well supplied with lambs, and tho demand for them was very inactive, at 4(1 uer 81fis.
