Baltimorb, Ang. 16, 18C8.
The consecration at the Cathedral to-day of
Hlght Bct. Thomas A. Becher, D. I)., aad KigLl
T. Jamee Gibbon, D. D., drew forth an Im
mense crowd In and outside the church. There
irere thousands of spectators from all parts of
the city, and of ell denominations, but chiefly
Catholics. The ceremonies commenced at tea
O'clock in the morning, and continued mntil tw
r. M. The Most Reverend Archbishop Spald
ing; porfoimcd the couBCcratlonal ceremonies,
assisted by the Right Rev. Dr. Whelan,
Bishop of Wheeling; the Right Rev. Dr. McGill,
Of Richmond; the Right Rev. Dr. Wood, of Phi
ladelphia; Right Rev. Dr. Lynch, of Charles
ton; Right Rev. Dr. Biyley, of Newark; Right
Rev. Dr. Domenec, of Pittsburg; Right Rev. Dr.
Oliara, of Scranton; aud Right Rev. Dr
Shanahnn, of Uorrisburg. A preat number of
clergy from this and other dioceses were In
attendance.
The two reverend gentlemen consecrated were,
Right Rev. Thomas A. Becher, D. D., for the See
of Wilmington, Dc-1., whose diocese will com
prise the State ot Delaware, the eight counties
of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, und the two
eastern counties of Virginia, Accomac und
Northampton; and the Right Rev. James Gib
bons, D. 1)., for the Vicariate of North Carolina,
lie will reside In Wilmington, North Carolina,
and have jurisdiction over the whole Slate of
Korth Carolina. The former is a native of Pitts,
burg, Pa.; the latter was born In BuRimorc.
The entire ceremonies were grand, solemn,
imposing. A specially attractive feature was
the gorgeous vc-troeuts worn by the priests,
and those who participated. They were rich and
highly ornamented. The Archbishop was in
full robes. The music was exquisitely magnifi
cent. The inside of the Cathedral, duriug the
entire ceremony, was completely Jammed.
Every available inch to staud upon in the
naves aud aisles was occupied, and every pew
filled, whilst hundreds, yes, thousands stood
on the streets and pavements out ide the build
ing and in front of tiie Archbishop's palace.
The spectators were of all ages, eiies, Bex, and
colors. Many strangers were here from Phila
delphia, New York, Washington, and other
places to witness the scene, which is a rare one,
cot oiten occurring in our city.
The forthcoming address of the Conservatives
who have withdrawn from the Democracy,
being prepared by cx-Qovernor Bradford, will
be a very able and highly important paper. It
must produce a telling effect throughout the
Whole country. It will, probably, be brought
out at the next meeting in. a few days. This
movement has greatly disturbed the Democrats,
and promises to be formidable. Thousnnds are
only wanting an excuse or opportunity to come
back to their first love, whilst not a lew Demo- j
crats, with nearly all tue Boys in Bluo and Jack
Tars, are wheeling Into the Grant and Colfax
nrmy. Maryland will "be heard from yet. There
is trouble amongst the Democrats which
threatens disruption of their party.
The Maritime Exhibition at Havre.
THE AQUARIUM.
The fresh-water eels appeured particularly at
home in their compartment in tue aquarium,
and were all entiiely at rest duriug the time I
etood belore their tank. A large number had
iuterwoveu themselves, eo to tptiak, aaiouast the
stems of a cluster of aquatic plants, whilst many
others had buried themselves to the neck In the
sand at the bottom of their prison-house, the
narrowed limits of which did not appear in the
Icitst to militate against their healthy condition.
This comports exactly with what we knowot
their habits, lor there is perhaps no tish bo uni
verstilly found over the world as the eel; it is to
be met with in nearly all regions, except those
in which extreme cold prevails, and inhabits
nlike the islands and continents of Europe, India,
New Zealand, and many other countries too
numerous to mention. Although undoubtedly
fresh-water fish, it is constantly found in salt
water, and I doubt if there be any single harbor
in the British islands or on tho continent where
fresh-water eels may not be caught by hook and
line by those who understand the right tackle
end baits to be used.
1 do not consider tlicy would live in the open
Ben if all access to fresh water was denied them,
or access to a harbor in which the saltness of
the wuter is somewhat tempered by the intiltra
tion of fresh water lrom tbe land ; for on a recent
visit to Dielette, in Normandy, I tound on the
beach, close to the mouth of the little river, a
dozen dead eels washed up by tbe sea to hiuh
water mark. This little liver falling into tho
tea from a somewhat Lite ber level than the tide,
the eels had no opportunity of passing through
mixed water; and I - think it probable they
therefore succumbed to the saltuess of the sea,
ns their eyes had turned white, just as if lime
Lad been thrown into the water. Some of my
acquaintances are occasionally surprised at the
idea of the existence of eels in harbors, although
it is perfectly well known to tnose who have
paid some attention to eels and their habits.
Votwithsianding all that has been printei on
the subject offish, popular knvwledge regarding
this branch of natural history is ot a very low
prude, tbe attainmenu of tbe majority of the
world reaching no higher than the power to
di.-tiiiL'uiah between a mackerel and a sole, one
of which being a round, tbe other a flat tish, it
is of course impossible to confound them.
The ability, however, to distinguish between
a flounder and a dab, a grey mullet and a bass,
or a pollack i.U'i a coal lish, are retincments to
Which comparatively few have yet attained, or
Will be likely to attain, until some moderately
S rices work with colored illustrations he pro
uced; for very few will give tbe prices required
to make high class woiks on this subject remu
nerative to author aud publisher. Amongst the
thousands of visitors to this aquarium and
there have been uniuy it is probable that not
one in five hundiefl could give the names ot
nny half djzen tish selected indiscriiniuately
from ihe tanks; aud if they desired in
formation, where could they obtain it?
for 1 saw no oilicial appointed to ex
plain matters to visitors desirous of iden
H ying the ditlereut specimens. This is what I,
have to conn lain of iu the other departments
namely, that no one is to be tound actually on
the sprt, officially credited to explain matters.
If you inquire lor a'cuts, you 'find they are
employed by a number ol exhibitors, and there
fore cnuuot Uevole their time to any one indi
vidual tiim, or to any particular department,
each and till of which should be provided wiUi
an oiliclM (catalogue in baud), who should
make the circuit of his particular department
at stated houis. giving an exnlanatory lecture,
in fact, as be went lrom stall to ktall.
The amount of useful inf rmatiou which could
lie coinuiuiiieated iu mis luauucr would be verv
preat, and visitors would leave the exhibition
with some Idea of what had fallen under their
notice, Instead of being couscious of a kind of
mental chaos, in wuicu Dronse-", anipery gooas,
reserved meats, chain cables, jewelry, steam
fniriuHS. nickled mackerel, sea boots, llsLiug and
pleasure boats, nets, aud various appurteuauces
and nppliaucca are jumbled together iu laby
rinthine eiiiaiitrlement. Fortunately for myself.
my previous experiences enabled me to recognize
tbe uses of tbe diilrrent objects falling under
in? notice; but the visitor is in ueueral ballled
tonipleielv u be desires to obtain any pur
ttcular information, aud bus to give it up iu
despair.
Anionest tue varied inhabitants of the aqua
rium inuKs i iounu no specimens more interen
jiit' than the treat cuttle au (Seoia officinalis).
several of which swam about, apparently unite
at home in their transparent piison. Noue of
tuu Cutilob 01' c-Uo u. J iiu jl pio'.uiea to
Jock upvtt wbea out pi tUcij tkceut, e;vuct
alive or dead ; but in the aqnarinm tank, whf re
eveiy movement is plainly visible, they may bo
Inspected with real feelines of pleasure, lrom
their elegance of action, aa they slowly float ot
raploly paddle themselves throuch the clear sea
water. Tbe great marine zoologist, Mr. Gos.se,
has fo ably described those creatures tbat I
feel I cannot do better than refer jour redden
to bis book.
la my opinion the aquarium is the most inter
rstig part of tho whole exhibition; and
amongst the inhabitants of tke tanks tbe cuttle
fish attract more attention than any other speci
mens. Peveral visitors have named them the
elephant fish, from the shape ol the head; this,
however, is supplied with eight trunks instead
of one, each ot which has equal prehcntlble
power in proportion to its size to that of the
single proboscis of the elephant. The aquarium
alone Is well worth the voyage from England.

TnB Penkstlvama Peace Eociett Meeting
at Abingdon. A meeting of the Pennsylvania
Peace Kociety was held at Friends' Meeting
House, Abingdon, on Friday afternoon.
D. IJ. T. Child, the Secretary, presented a
summary of tbe proceedings of the Society
durina the past year, by which it appears they
have entered into an alliance with tho Union of
Peace at Havre.
lie lo read tho following, letter from the
Hon. Charles Sumner, In rel'erenee to Article VI.
Washington, D. C, Aur, 13, lMiH. Dear Hir:
Nothing cau be more interesting than tbe
Idea ot a revision of the law of nations, and the
reduction of nil its vnrious parts to a clear and
intelligent code, which all can read and under
stand. Such a work would be an epoch in
civilization, and prepare the way for permanent
pence among nations.
Therefore, I saw with singular pleasure that
the Society for the Advancement of Social
Science in England had entertained this great
Biijcct, and that a jurist, as experienced and
liberal ns Mr. Dudley Field, had entered upon
the work.
1 am glad to know that tho Peace Union and
the Society which jou represent are laboring in
the same direction. Anything that I can do
to promote so beneficial a project will be done
cheerfully to tbe extent of my ability, and
according to the time at my command, wbioh is
very little. Accept my best wishes aud believe
me, Dear Sir, lailbfully yours,

This grin is evidently meeting mnoh favor
abroad, particularly in those countries whose
people are skilled in tbe nse of firearms. The
Providence Tool Company supplied fifteen
thousand stand of these arms to tbe Swiss
Government, and we give below very satis
factory statement of the result of their nse.
Tbe company is now engaged in filling a simi
lar order for another Luropean government.
The Swiss ihaqvhooler's Uazelle, of Jane 19th,
says:
Tn Teabodt Gun. Last Sunday the Feld
schntzenverein of the district of Thai well held
their first meeting this year. Since all tbe
rifiemen were to lire with the reabody Gun,
which is now in tbe bands of the sharpshooters,
except two, who had the ordinary field rifle,
great interest was manifested in the result of
tbe shooting. The success of the gnn was
surprisingly complete. Fifteen sharpshooters
fired 20 shots each, together 300 shots, at dij
tances respectively of 300 and 400 paces. A
shot in the breast of tbe figure of a man,
which formed tbe target, counted 3, in the
bead or legs 2, and for the target 1. In these
300 shots CG0 points were made, being 93 per
cent. bits. II ad tbe marksmen been more
accustomed to the trigger, which was some
what stiffer than their own gnns, OG per cent,
would have been obtained a result which has
never yet been attained by the usual field rifle.
All the sharpshooters, iuoluding those who,
using the arm for tbe first time, regarded i
with some distrust, were afterwards enthusi
astic in praise of its precision, rap'dity of fin,
and simple manipulation. One of the marks
men fired four shots in 24 seconds, making at
4C0 paces 2 breast bits, and 1 to the right and
l to the left. Consider the terrible effects of
one battalion even, armed with this weapon
and skilled in its nse.
The enns fired, not having any hair trigger.
and a stock a little too straight, they were in
this respect not so convenient as the field
rifle; but one soon gets accustomed to this.
These little drawbacks are far more than out
weighed by the many good qualities of the
Peabody. The ammunition, of Swiss manu
facture, wa3 excellent; not one shot of 300
missed fire, so that in this respect, also, we
can be perfectly satisfied, and Switzerland
may congratulate herself upon ber possession
of ber 15,000 American made Peabody guns.
I'rovidcnct Journal, August 11.
The rapidity with which a traveller cau now
pass from one distant point of Europe to ano
ther is certainly marvellous. Any tourist who
desires to reach tbe Turkish capital from Paris
can effect his pnrpose in less than five days by
following the itinerary announced by the East
ern Railway company namely, Stuttgard,
Munich, Vienna, tbe Danube, Odessa, and
Constantinople, with, in all that distance, only
fifteen hours' sea. But if the speed is won
derful, the prices are not les3 so 434f. first
class; 2'JSf. second; or, by railway second class
and steamer first, 30b f. In addition a stay can
be made at any of the cities mentioned on
the way-bill, should the passenger be so
inclined.
