There was a very grand cere mony at the distribution of tbe Exhibition prizes In the building to-day. Seventeen thou sand persona, Including the representatives of every nation on earth were present, each dressed In their national costume. There were many Kusslana, Hungarians, Turks, Chinese aud Cir cassians in the assemblage. The arrangements Were brilliant, and in their entirety a splendid coup d a il. probably the most magnificent ever Witnessed. , Tbe north side of the Emperor's throne was hung with crimson velvet. In front were the members of the diplomatic corps, dressed In uniform. . , , The galleries were filled with ladies and 6 entlemen In full dress.' In tbe east end of the nlldlng was placed the orchestra, made no of twelve nunarea musicians, an organ ana musi cal bells. The roof of tbe building was deco rated with streamers, showing every color In 'the rainbow. The nave waa surrounded with ample parterres of natural flowers growing as lu a garden. The galleries were bung with flags, showing the different nations whioh had con trlbuted to the Exhibition. In the centre, placed on pedestals, were shown the best speci mens of each of the ten groups Into whioh all ' articles in the Exhibition are divided. The French Ministers of State were present In uniform, with Senators and Deputies of tbe Legislative Chambers of the empire. They were seated near the throne. The Bight Honorable tbe Xord Mayor of London, with several Aldermen of that city, were present, clothed In the red robes of the great English municipality, Napoleon's throne was guarded by a ' detacbrrent of the Cent Gardes. The streets were kept by strong bodies of police and the National and ImperlalGuards. At ten mlnntes before two o'clock In the afternoon a roll of drums announced the ap proach of tbe Emperor. The imperial cortege was preceded by squadrons of dragoons, lan cers, and Cent Gardes and trnmpeters. The Imperial party were conveyed in six carriages, each diawn by four horses. Royal outriders came on in advance of the carriage in which tbe Emperor was seated. This carriage was drawn by eight horses. It contained the Em peror Napoleon III, the Empress Engenie. tbe Prince Imperial of France, his Imperial High ness Prince Napoleon Bonaparte, and one of his sons. Tbere were thousands of people assembled round the Exhibition building at the moment, and the approach of tbe royal party was londly cheered by them. The Sultan of Turkey was present. The cortege of his Imperial Majesty was heralded by three carriages containing Turkish officials of great distinction, who came before the Hultan's carriage. This vehicle was drawn by eight horses, each horse being led by a servant clot bed In rich livery. All these car riages were literally covered with gold, having been brought In from the Palace of Versailles where they have lain since the time of Louis XIV for the special use of the ruler of Turkey, On the Sultan's right baud sat his nephew, the heir 1o tbe throne of Turkey, and In lront of his Majesty were his son and a second nephew. The Imperial foreigners received a warm welcome from tbe crowd. The Sultan . saluted the people by passing his hand from his mouth to his fez. Tbe ladles attached to the French Court were dressed In most magnl ' Scent costumes. Tbe olhcers of Napoleon's household, dressed in full uniform, entered the building, and took their places behind the throne. Next came Napoleon the Third, hav ing theBiiltan of Turkey on his right and next to him. . Tbe Empress Eugenie came next. Her Mfjesty was followed by bis l'.oyal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Prince Imperial of France, tbe Princess Royal of Prussia, Prince Humbert of Italy, the Princess Mathilde, hla Imperial Higness Prmce Napoleon Bonaparte, tbe Princess Clotilde, tbe Imchess d'Oste, tbe brother of the Tycoon of Japan, Prinoe von, Teck, and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, Field Marshal and Commander-in-Chief - of the British army. - Napoleon took hla seat on the throne In the centre of tbe group, having the Sultan on hla right and the Empress Eugenie on his left baud. The Empress was dressed In a robe of white satin, trimmed with silver, and wore a ' heavy diamond necklace. As the Imperial cortege entered the Exhibition building the orchestra, with a full chorus, gave tbe Rossini ' Hymn to tbe Emperor. The acoompanlments were sent forth from cannon and Joy bells. The ellectwas exceedingly thrilling, and themusio magnificent. The Minister of State then read to the Em peror the report of the Jurors on the successful exhibitors, and the productions and objects exhibited by them.. At Its conclusion Na poleon arose from hla throne, and In a loud and clear voice said: - Gentlemen: After an interval of twelve years I come for the second time to distribute rewards to those who have morl distinguished them selves in those works v .lcb enrich the nations, embellish life, and pAW the manners. The poela of antiquity u tue praises of the great games in which the various naUona assembled to contend with.. (ireoce for prl.i's in the race and other sports.v hat would uiey say to-day were they present at these Olympic games of the whole world, in which the nations of the earth contend bv force of lntolltxt alone, and seem to launch themselveh forth biniultuiiuously' n an lnnnlte career oi progress towurug an , ideal which has been incessttnUy approached without ever being able to be attained. 4 ruru all nurts of the earth have come repre sentatives of ' science, arts, bud industry, who have hastened to vio vvlui . each other and we may say that peopios and klnss have both come to do honor to tbe ,iiorla of labor, aud crown then by the ir pre sence with ideas of conciliation and ,paee. Indeed, in these great assemblies, which, anur to have no other object than material lutert ts, a moral sentiment always disengages itself from the competition of intelligence, a senti ment of couoord and civilization; and the 'nations in thus drawing near learn to know and esteem each other. Hatreds are extin guished, and the truth becomes more evident tbal tne prosperity oi eacn country coninuuuis to tbe (mperity of all. The Exhibition of IW7 may lunlly be termed universal, for it unite tbe elements i u him riouea 01 uiv iiuun. bv hide with tbe latest iuiDroveinonU in modem urt appear the products of tbe remotest ages, so that they represent atone aud i ii.tmnii time the genius of all aues and nations. It is universal, for in addition to the marvels ,ih imnrT brines for tha few. it displays also that demanded by their necessities tor tbe nrver aroused more lively solicitude. Their moral and material wants, education, condi tions of life at a cheap rate of living, by tne most productive combinations of association, have been tbe objects of patient Inquiries and serious study. Thus all improvements march forward. If science by turning matter to account liberates labor, tbe cultivation of the mind by subduing vices prevails over tbe vulgar passions and liberates humanity. Let us congratulate ourselves, gentlemen, upon having received among us the majority of the sovereigns and princes of Europe, and so many other distinguished visitors. Let us be proud of having sbown that France, as she is great. Is prosperous and free. One must be destitute of all patriotic faith who doubts her greatness, and mnst close bis eyes to the evidence who denies her prosperity. He must misunderstand our Institutions tolerant even to license not to behold in them liberty. Foreigners have been able to appreciate this. France, formerly dis quieted and casting out her uneasiness beyond her frontiers, .is laborious and calm. Always fertile in generous ideas, she is turning her feu Ins to the most diverse marvels, never allow ng herself to be enervated by material enjoy ment. Attentive minds will have divined tbat, notwithstanding tbe development of its wealth, notwithstanding the enticements towards prosperity, the iibre of tbe nation is always ready to vibrate as soon aa a question of honor of tbe country arises: but this noble susceptibility could not be subject for alarm, for repose would let those who lived a short time among us carry home lust opinions of tbe country. I feel persuaded that the senti ments of esteem and sympathy we entertain towards foreign nations, and our sincere desire to live at peace with them, will be reciprocated. I tbank the Imperial Commissioners, mem bers of tbe Jury, and the different commit tees, for their intelligent real In the accomplishment of thoir tasks. ' 1 thank also by name the Prinoe Imperial, who, not withstanding his tender age, I nave been happy to associate with me in tills great undertaking, of which be will ever retain the remembrance. I hope tbe Exhibition of 1867 will mark a new era of harmony and progress, assured that Pro vidence blesses tbe efforts of all who, likens, desire to do good. I believe in the definitive triumph of the great principles of morality and Justice, which, while satisfying all legitimate desires, are alone able to consolidate thrones, elevate nations, and ennoble humanity .'(Loud cheering.) After the speech, the exhibitors who were to receive grand prizes marched to the front of tbe throne, each group separately, the first being fine arts. As each name was called, the recipient asoended the steps of the throne, bowing to tbe Emperor and Empress, receiving from Napoleon's band the gold medals. These were passed one by one to Napoleon, by Mar shal Valllant, until all the medals were given. Many of the recipients were called up again and received the decorations of tbe Legion of Honor, the same ceremony being gone through with as in the case of delivering tbe medals. The gold medals only were distributed by tbe Emperor. Altogether tbere will be 18,500 re compenses to 60,000 exhibitors. There aie sixty grand prizes, nine thousand gold, three thou sand six hundred silver, and five thousand bronzemedals, and nine, thousand honorable mentions. - - In grouD eight the Emneror of Russia was awarded a gold medal lor fine horses. In group ten Napoleon himself was awarded a gold medal for a-model lodging-house. Mar shal Valllant was about handing it to htm when tbe Emperor beckoned to the Prinoe Im- Serial, who came forward, took it from the larsbal's hand and placed it in Napoleon's amid loud cheers. Tbe only one with whom the Emperor shook bands waa Hughes, tne In ventor of the printing telegraph. When all the medals and decorations were distributed, the recipients resumed their seats in the nave. Tbe Imperial cortege then left the throne and walked around tbe entire building, -passing various groups, and occasionally stop ping to examine tne tropmes. The EmnresB Eugenie evidentlv exnected tha? he Sultan would offer her his arm, but he did not. There were no loud cheers nntil the Imperial party reached tbe American department, when tne American uommiBsioners rose ana gave three loud American hurrahs. There was also much cheering when the English department was reacnea. The Sultan wore hla fez during the ceremony. He seemed contused. The Empress appeared delighted. The Imperial cortege left the Ex hibition gronnda in the same manner in which it arrived, with the exception that tbe Sultan's carriages preceded Napoleon's. Altogether it was probably the finest pageant that Paris has ever witnessed. THE CZAR AT HOME. Jeyem Reception of His Hatjesty A. Te Utnn and Crowded Attendance An American Senator Presented. St. Pktcbsburq, July 1. The Czar entered tbe capital at noon to-day. The weatber was warm. His welcome took the shape of an immense popular demon tration. At 1 o'clock In the afternoon his Majesty attended a Te Deum in tbe Kazan church, which was filled with the highest alenitarles of the Empire, the diplomatic corps, officers of the army and navy, and the city functionaries. His Majesty afterwards received the congratu lations of the diplomatlo corps at the Winter Palace. Senator Doollttle, of the United States, was presented to the Czar. Tbe Commsssionera of the Russian American Telegraph are here. Their prospects are good. THE EASTERN QUESTION. Popular Agitation In the Turkish Pro lnces. I'esth, July 1. News of a great popular agi tation at Carlowltz and Vakover has been re ceived. Slratmerovltz has been proclaimed Dictator by the Servian population. General Gableutz, of Austria, has been ordered to Croatia. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. Lord Stanley's Statement of Progress. London, July 1. Mr. Baxter, in the House of Commons to-day, asked Lord Stanley if any progress had been made in the matter of tbe Alabama claims, and if the claims of the British subjects growing out of tbe late war in America did not exceed those on tbe other side. Lord Stanley replied tbat the Government was not making very rapid progress in the matter of the claims. At the same time nothing had occurred to lead him to despair of a satisfactory settle ment. It was his intention, before the end of the session, to lay the whole case before the House. As to the other question, he was unable to answer it. , GAY WEDDING AT NASHVILLE. Brilliant Festivities. Grand Reception. From the Wanhville Union and Deipatch, ZIth. , The grand reception following upon the mar riage ceremonies whioh so recently united Dr. W. A. Cheatham to Mrs. Adellola Aoklln, took place last night at tbelr palatial home near this city. It was every way a magnificent affair, attended by a large number of prominent per sons, not only of tbe fasbionaole, but of the political and commercial world. a ihn invelv Burdens came In view bv the turnings and windings of the road, a scene of aazzjlug spienuor met tne eys. rroua every tree, and every shrub, aud every bulb within ti-t beautiful enclosure lights were flashing, otoe of them fiery red, others soft and pale, . wbtio others.

Upon her head a coronet sat gracefully, the gift of the Emperor and Empress of France, and a girdle with a diamond clasp encircled her walat. She looked lovely and happy, and was the cynosure of all eyes. Dr. Cheatham, tbe bridegroom, was dressed in black, relieved by a waistcoat of snowy whiteness, and a neat white tie. A pleasing smile rested upon bis features as he grasped the hands of the friends who crowded closely around him to oiler their congratulations, and all pronounced blra a most happy man. Invitations had been sent to fifteen hun dred persons, and the luxurious parlors were thronged with gnesis, many of them from abroad. Joy ana mirth seemed to move in the very sir, and tbe portrait faces that looked down from tbe walls seemed to have been sud denly Instilled with life, and lookftd smiling upon the happy gathering. Most of the ladies present were very richly dressed every one of them was beautiful. There may have been in dividual differences of opinion as to the bright ness of certain sparkling eyes, or the rich color tbat flushed the cheek of some pretty favorite, but a strict observer could hardly deny the claims of all. No one ever writes how hand some tbe gentlemen appear on suoh occasions, bnt it will not be out of place to say that the representatives of the sterner sex at the reoep tlon last night deserve a share of the general admiration. Among the guests from abroad we noticed General V. II. Hill, General Basil Duke, Gene, rsl J. B. Palmer, Hon. Ed. Cooper, Judge Meeker of Missouri, Colonel Hill of Franklin. John Overtop, Jr., Mrs. John Overton, Oolonei Rice, Mrs. Brinklay, and Mrs. Colonel McDon ald, of Memphis; Captain Fields of Pulaski, Cap tain Pointer and lady, and Mrs. Perkins, of Franklin: Mrs. Gnyon, daughter of Judge Guyon, of Louisiana. Others, not home folks, were present, with whose names we were un acquainted. The tables were crowded with everything that luxury and good taste could desire, and tbelr richness ezoited general comment. Tbe whole affair was one well worthy the occasion, and one which will long be remembered by those who participated in its pleasures. Only midnight closed the festivities, and a regretful sound seemed mingled with the rattle of the swiftly-moving wheels as tbey left the scenes ot festivity and whirled the guests to their quiet homes. , THE FASHIONS. Toilets Displayed at the City of Paris and Imperial Balls Diamonds and De corations Carrlaga Dresses and New Trimmings A Hovelty In Head Dress Skirts, 44 Overcoats" and Jackets Sashes, Hats and Collars. Paris, Jnne 13. It is perfectly useless, and I have given up looking for a text wherewith to open this correspondence. A wise old saving, all about the perverse extravagance of our times, would have looked very well and mlgnt have Impressed readers with an idea that this fashion letter was to beremonstrative ora calm demonstration, all against the Invasion of finery; bnt I have run over all the proverbs I think most of, and find nothing applicable to the nine hundred thousand francs spent by tbe good town of Paris for the bill given at the Hotel de Vllie to the Emperor or Russia and other sovereigns in this gay capital. Nine hundred thousand francs for a ball! exclaim those unsuspecting members of society who fancy that a ball Is a large hall round which people whirl, and in the centre of which fat ladies threaten to faint while their arms leave traces of elbows in gentlemen's ribs. A ball is no such thing at tbe Hotel de Ville, and the only fete on record at all approaching the last in splendor was given in honor or Q,ueen Victoria's visit in 1855. fen thousand invita tions were given out on Saturday, and elgbt thousand were accepted. When the sovereigns arrived in the Court of Louis XIV tbey stopped for seme time to look round them in complete amazement before tbey mounted the marble stairs leading to the hall called Henry IV, at tbe entrance of which tbey were received by tbe Prefect and Baroness Hanssmann. The walls round the Inner courts were hung with ivy and vine on gilt trellis work, and red velvet hangings fringed with gold were sus pended between the different arches. Cascades and water jets keptnp a cool atmosphere all the evening in every saloon; bnt the principal decorations were flowers, in immense profu sion. All the rarest exotics were placed up winding staircases and tbe lofty halls. After the Emperor and Empress had received tbe ambassadors and ambassadresses the doors of the nail were thrown open, and they entered tbe gallery, in which thrones had been raised, while the band played tbe Russian anthem. When it was over the official quadrille was formed, in which none of the reigning sove reigns danced, but Princess Mathilde dauced in the second, whioh immediately followed. Supper was announced at twelve, for which the famous plate exhibited by tbe town of Paris at the Champ de Mars had been carried to the Hotel de Ville. All tbe toilettes were repetitions of what has been described at the most remarkable tetei this season. Diamonds can be bnt diamonds; satins and tulle can but be of the richest or downiest; white lace tbere was in profusion; emeralds, rubies, and everything we deem mo it costly cannot be more than scattered with prodi gality. The only new styles were observed in bead dressing. The great thing was to be chien, which means, in plain English, "pug-llke." The word "chic" has no longer the charm of novelty. Tbe ambition to be chien is tbe ruling idea of tbe day. The origin of the word arose with the small lids called bonnets, whioh our belles wear on their noses, Just us little danolng dogs do on Italian organs. To look like one of these "bow-wows," and blink up thus know ingly under a bit of rim was, thought to be fas cinating until to be chien, with frizzles, was quite a novelty, and has at this present moment become a necessity. Our prettiest costumes, not carriage dresses, are frilled silk skirts and open grey overcoats, body and skirt In one, with long, wide sleeves. I much recommend white mohair, with blue silk cord trimmings, put on in tbe shape of cable and anchors round the bottom, a bine sash behind, sailor's hat with blue streamers, loose white jacket and open sailor collar, with an anchor on each front point. It is lively, light, and on of the least oousplouous of our walking summer or seaside toilets. Space must be found for the ball at the Tulle rles. Eight hundred Invitations alone had been distributed, and these among the very choicest and select of all the cosmopolitan noblette in Paris. Tbe Champs Elysees, Place de la Con corde, and the Tulleries gardens were crow Jed with curloua spectators; but tbose who had taken up their station at an early hour within tbe gates of tbe public garden, for the sake of seeing the guests arrive, were blltorly disap pointed. Every one was turned out at 9 o'clock, and every tree waa immediately illuminated with Chinese lanterns. Electrlo lights bathed tbe palace in ever-changing hues all night. The Czarewltch danced several times. Prinoe Humbert was In fact the only yonng prince who did uotdanoe, having been so lately distressed by the death ol the Duchess Mathilda, whom he was to have married. The Empress requested Mad'lle Malvezzl to otter him a flower in one of tbe figures of the cotillion, which, according to the code or that dance, is an invitation to waltz; but the Prince said he' was sorry he could not, and kept t he flower. Of course he was not obliged to dance, but I do not tbink any one envies Mad'lle Malvezal's posi tion on that occasion. Epaulettes, stars, crosses shone on the men for really the masculine part were all men, not genii in fairy land tbe women were all Un dines, sparkling with diamonds, which shone on their vaporous robes like orystul drops on the morning haze. Tbe richest toilets were covered with natural flowers; the most aristocratic robes were plain white, and nothing is 10 becoming when worn with the costliest Jewels. Nothlug but jewels were seen in the crowd, and another feature was the new broad sash. Our new colors are prettier by daylight than or an evening. Sunbeams, asb rose, aud mother-of-pearl blue are too soft under gas. Tbe new Jacket has taken Arm ground, as I prognosticated. It is a short, loos i Jacket, be hind not longer than the waistband, and tbe front is a square mantilla, with long ends; the sleeves are wide. The prettiest bonnet la made of silver grey leaves, with bright green berries. bnt brown Is the universal fashion, with a gold palm or butterfly on the left side. There Is also a new shirt, which is a go-between. It Is not long and It is not short. Jt is called "ronde," and Jnst toncbes the ground all round. It Is cut in points, and I suggest tbat fat old ladies, or, rooie politely, portly matrons, should adopt It In preference to the curtailed costumes they will show their deformities in with such nnao coantable obstinacy. MAXIMILIAN. Saml-Officlal Confirmation of Ills K ca tion Tha Humor Still Doubted by the Austrian Consul at New Orleans. New Ort.kanh, July h No positive informa tion concerning tbe reported execution or Maxi milian has been received, though the Wlokaoo is on her way here with all the news from the Austrian steamer at quarantine. J. H. Elmer, the Austrian Consul, is in re ceipt or the following telegram from the Secre tary of the Consulate, which came to hand early this morning: BotTTttWKST Pass, Jnne So. J. H. Elmer, Austrian Consulate, New Orlanna: Have been prohibited from Uncling at Quarantine. It Is slated upon reliable authority tbat Prince Maximilian waa shot on the morning ot JnaelV. Juares refuses to give up tbe body of tbe Prince, t The telegram is duly signed by Mr. Bndden dors aa secretary of the Consulate. The Consul has not, he states, as yet sufficient ground for believing that Maximilian has been executed, and asserts that the steamer being in mourn ing Is not of importance in determining any thing abont tbe matter. The Mexican Consulate Is in receipt of no fur ther information than the above, and the rumor of the execution is generally interpreted as needing confirmation. Official Information of the Execution Mecelved by tbo Austrian and French Consuls at Mew Orleans. New Orleans, July L Both the Consulates of Austria and France are in receiptor some official information that Maximilian was shot on tbe morning or June 19, and that Diaz occu pied tbe eity of Mexico June 20. The informa tion is deemed perfeotly reliable, and will be transmitted to Washington to the French and Austrian Ministers by their respective Consuls. Feeling of Regret at the Reported Exe cution In Washington Secretary Seward Blamed for his Mild Measures. Washington, July 1. The excitement rela tive to tbe declared execution or Maximilian has been most intense here the whole day. Tbe general feeling is one of profound regret, both for Mexican statesmen aud Maximilian. Much bitterness seems to be felt against Secretary Seward, who la now blamed for not writing a more peremptory letter to tbe Mexican Gov ernment, demanding, not begging, that the life of the ex-Emperor should be spared. It is said here that Secretary Stanton has ex pressed himself very strongly on the subject in private conversations, and has not hesitated to condemn Seward's course. Minister Campbell is also believed to be of the same opinion, and is said to have been surprised at the moderate tone of Mr. Seward's . despatches. He (Mr. Campbell) made his own letter to the Mexican Government much stronger than Secretary Seward's tame suggestions justified. , The Statement of Maximilian's Death , Fully Credited in Washington An Im portant Proposition Mads to tha United States by Franco In January Tbo Telegrams from Victoria and Napoleon Not Communicated to Juares, Etc. Washington, July 1. The official confirma tion of tbe execution of Maximilian in Mexico has produced a profound sensation here in Gov ernmental and dlploinatlcal quarters. At the Mexican Legation the news was first received from the Austrian Embassy, wbo gave it with tbeir official credence. Senor Romero made haste to communicate it to Secretary Seward, who expressed no opinion either way, but is disposed to look upon his efforts in behalf of Maximilian's life as hindered by the absence of tbe proper diplomatlo representative of this Government in Mexico. The Austrian Lega tion received tbe news with a thrill of horror, and sent it to Vienna over the Atlantlo Cable with all possible speed, and despatched it by telegraph to Count Wydenbruck, the Minister, who is temporarily absent from Washington. An Important official fact has transpired to day relative to the policy proposed by tbe French Government to the United States as regarded the presence of Maximilian in Mexico. It appears tbat as long ago as January last Count Berthemy, the French Minister here, informed Secretary Seward that Maximilian bad proposed to leave Mexico, provided that Juarez would convene tbe Constitutional Assembly for the election of a President of the republic. The Emperor was thereby willing to acquiesce in a republican form of government in Mexico, but desired a new choice of tbe Assembly for the presidency. lie was wining to pieage nimseu not to 00 ect if Juarez was chosen again. It seemed to I8 e the desire 01 the French Government to obtain the approval or this Government to this proposition, but Mr. Seward regarded such a step as nothing less than an interference In Mexican affairs. How far his official efforts to save Maximilian's life will prove to be an in terference, remains to be seen when the official correspondence is laid before Congress. It is further learned that the telegraphic re quests of Queen Victoria and Napoleon to Mr. foeward to nrge Juarez to spare Maximilian never reached the latter official, owing to the want of efficient diplomatic representation to Mexico on the part of this Government. yew York Herald. AFFAIRS IN NEW ORLEANS. Financial Rascalities Second Issue of Fraudulent City Scrip Indictments Against May and Whlttaker for Alleged Embezzling. - New Orleans, July 1. A second fraudulent lsBue of city scrip not named in the Comp troller's report has been ferreted out, though the amount of the issue cannot be ascertained.
