'6 THE DAILY EY SlKG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER lGt 1868. THE PECEMltEK BIAUAZLNEM. Llpplncotl's. M, Lottla Blano discourses in the following strain in hid article entitled "England and Napoleon III," in the December number of Li'lfincoWs: I was in London wlien, I" April. 1855, N-od-Icon 111 cftino ovi r to Kuxiund, ami I shall never forget how deeply humiliated 1 felt at the sunt Of the extraordinary oviuion tt Jell to his lot to enjoy in tbe capital of that free country. Thun dering huzzas greeted his arrival; ho was almo.it earrie J in triumph ; the newspapers vied witU each oilier in trumpeting his pralaes; the gov erning cliifts actually UoKaiinahed him; he wished to kis the Queen, and was welcome to it How could anj one lmugiue that an all; of Knuland had bren, lor a moment, among the Kfrtng-doeia ? Farewell to the cause ot justice I Nor have, ever since, the loudly-xprested society ceased to prop the fabric of ttie second of lccruiber. Loid PaimcrHon was the mouth piece of the patvielau fluukeyi!in of his class when, apropv$ of cenain lurloua attuck levelled at Alarzinl iu the Hou?e ot Commons, he most eiupliulically declared that the luiero-tt of ffiiropo la iiidBolubly connected, not only withth strtnfithening of Nupoleou's personal 1ower, but also wuti the consolidation of its dynasty. With no lest alacrity have all the leader of the conservative pary availed them-elven of every opportunity to coun tenance the French ruler, insisting on bis wU iom, doing homaee to his flrinnes-i, pretending to be lost iu admiration of his genius, rejoicing at his having i-o successfully muzzled the revo lutionary sp'rit, and deeming It a wouderlul piece ot good luck both for Kurope and Franco that a whole nation should have, as it were, disappeared to make roim lor one man ! Equally fulsome aud thoughtless has been the system of adaiation sdoptcd in reference to Napoleon (II by some of the leading organs of public opinion, and more especially tho Times. Even the Daily Te araph, a newspaper supposed to have bceu started wi.h a view to advocate 4 he popu lar cause, did not object to bo enrolled for ser vice in the liouitpurtist pres, and Its way ot Bouuding the note of praise borders samelimes en the ludicrous. Need I add th.it the Engl sh panegyrists of Na poleon III make it a point to cry down France whenever they cry tip tbe empire? The process has, at any rate, the merit of baing logical. Is it not worth noticing that In all the pub lic festivals in Paris the shout. '-Vive l'Einpe 'reur I" is always sent lorth by fashionable Eng lishmen, who would not for the lifeofthetn shout "Vive la France!" This retniiids me ol the dinner which took place at the Elysee few weeks alter the coup d'etat, and which was likened by a modern Junius to "the banquet of that Lydian King who flout d the prescience ot the gods." En; lien BobUmeD, English genilemeu, English ladies thebe were tbe guets of Napoleon Coats Bonaparte on the 30th of January, 1852, ' the pave of the boulevards (.till staiuej with blood, And the best and noblest sous of France smitten in liberty and life." In justice to the English nation, I must say that the aboe sorrowful remark by no means apply either to the working classes or to that considerable portion ot the Liberal party whieh Is represented in the flou-e of Lords by such men as Lord Kus-cll; in the House ot Commons bv such rutin as John Stuart Mill, Bright, Btansftld, Forster. and Torrcns; in the press, by such dally or weekly newspapers as the Daily News, the Morning Star, the Morn inq Advertiser, aud the Spectator. The Saturday Beview and the Fall Malt Gazette, in spite of their fastidious appreciation of popular rights, must also be ranked among the journals unpol luted by Bonapartisin.' However, the fact remains that England has given to the Empire an amount of moral support which, although conferred on it by no other bat the aristocratic interest, has greatly contributed to its maintenance. Bat there is a Nemesis for nations as well as for Individuals. Tha bulih goverulug climes must be aware by this time thnt vhvy have been playing a loiing game. Should they doubt it, let them esam.ne what they have got by strengthening the power of the French Em- ricror. Jn the Crimean war, England was hrown into the shade by France. The abrupt termination Napoleon gave to the war was obviously at variance with her interests and contrary to her wishes: sUU, she was tamed into compliance. The treaty of alliance signed on the 10th of April, 1864, led to tbe famous Declaration of the Sd of March, 185G, which entailed upon her the lots pf her maritime supremacy, compelling her to sur render the right of seaich. Bo lntle wsb tho influence of the IJussiuns shaken in the Eant by the (all of Sebastcpol that they have since entirely subdued Circas.ia, and laid, by the conquest of the Caucasus, the foundation of their sway over Persia, thus bringing nearer the day on which they will dispute the possession of ludia with the English. So little was the influence of England iu fcurope increased by her share in the victories of the Alma and Inker BiaoD. tbat when she thought tit to raise her voice in favor of Poland, Prince Gortschakotf mhook at her the finger of corn; and when Bho presumed to deprecate the invasion of Schlas-wig-IIolstein, hr indignant protests were scooted bv Von BiMnark. As for the way in which her services wore Tequited by her faithiul ally, it is enough u say that -he refused to join her in tbe Danish question; that he plauned and etl'ccted the Jin negation of Nice aud Savoy without cariug a in whether she liked it or not; that, having commenced the Mexican expedition with her, lie altered its character, reeardles of her re monstrance?, and marched his army to Mexico without her; in tine, that he managed to give to France the spectacle of a Queen of England froing down upon her knees at Paris before the tyrub ot the captive of St. Helena. As "contribution to history" Mr. William J. Taalding gives the following important let ter from JOHN MiRSnALL TO JAMES K. PAULDING. "Biohmoup, April 4, 1835. Sir: Your favor of the Xid of March was received in the course of the ma. I, but I have been confined to my room, and am only now resuming my pen. "The single difficulty I leel in complying with jour request arises from my repugnaacs to anything which may be construed Into an vidtureof that paltry vanity which, if I know mjself, tonus no purt of my character. To detail any conversation tbat might seem to ins Bualo that General Waxbiugton considered my engaging iu the political transactions of th) United (Stales an object of stillicieut conse quence to induoe him to take an interest iu ettecting it, may look like boastiDg that I held a more favorable place In tbe opinion of that great man than the luct would justify, I do not, however, think tbat this, perhaps, fastidious feeling would ju-tify a refusal to answer an inquiry made in terms entitled to my sincere acknowledgments. 'All who were then old enough to notice the public affairs of the United tSia e recollect tho arduous struggle of 1708 and 1799. General Washington, it is well kuowu, took a deep tute- reel m ir. xie DCiievea mat mo reai indepen dence, the practical self-tovernnieut of our country, depended greatly on its Issue on our resisting the encroachments of France. "1 had devoted myself to my prolession, an 1, thoueh actively and zealounly eugaged iu sup pott of the measures of his administration in tho Legislature of Virginia, had uniformly declined any situation which might withdraw me from tbe bar. In 17U8 I was very strongly pressed by the Federalists to became a candidate for Coug-rens, and the gentle man of that party wuo bad o tie red him self to tbe district, proposed to resign Lis pretentious iu my favor. I hal kowever positively refused to accede to tho proposition, and believed tbat 1 could not be Induced to change my determination. Io this state of things, in August or September, 1708, as well as I recollect, I received an invitation from Central Washtneton to accompany his nephew, ttie late Judge Washington, ou a visit to Mount Yemen. 1 accepted the invitation, and re named at Mouut Vernon lour or five days. During this time the walk and conversation in the Piazza mentioned by Mr. Lewis took place. 'Utncral Washington urged the importance of the ciisis, expressed his decided c mvlct on that every man wno could contribute to the succfts of sound opinions was required by tin most sacied duty to oiler his service to t io public, and pressed- ine to come into the Con gross of the. ensuinir year. "After the very natural declaration of dlstnnt In my ability to d,i any good, ( told him that I had made large pecuuiary eneatremen'. wblHi required cloe attention to my profession, n;id which would distress me should the em 'la ments derived from it be abandoned. I also mentioned the as? urai ce I bad given to the peutleman then a candidate, which 1 could not honorably vloUte. "He thntieht that gentleman would still will ingly withdraw in my favor, and that my be coming a member of congress for tbe preseut, would not sscridce my practice as a lawyer. At any rate the facrifiee might be temporary. "Alter cou'.iiiaing the conversation for some time lie riiiected my attention to his own con duct. He had withdrawn from otlice with a declaration of his determination never again, under any circumstances, to enter public life. Mo man could be more sincere In making that declaration, nor could auy mau ieel stronssr motives lor adhering to it. No man could make a stronger sacrifice than he did in breaking a lcsoluiion thus publicly maile, and which he had believed to be uunlterabln. Yet 1 saw him, In oppo-llion to his public declaration, in oppo sition to bis private feelings, consenting, uudcr a fciisc of duty, to surrender the sweets of retirement, and again to enter the most arduous and perilous station which an individual could fill. "My resolution yielded to this representation. After remarking that the obligation which hal controlled his course was essentially different from that which bound me that no other man could fill the place to which his counrry had railed him, whereas my service could weigh but little iu the political balance, 1 consented to become a candidate, and hn ve c jntiuued, ever since my diction, iu public life. "Ibis letter U intended to be private, and you will readily perceive the uuflliiep of niakiuglt public. It is written because it has b?eu re quetttid in polite and obliging terms, aud becaure I am willing, should your own views Induce jon to mention the fact derived from Mr. Lewis, to give you the assurance of its truth. "With very great rcpect I am, Sir, "Tour obed't servH, "J. Marshall." We take the following facts and opinions from "Oar Monthly Oossip," as usual one of the most entertaining portions of the maga zine: The Italian Opera delicate, beautiful, exotic as It is is psnshing edo vly but surely from the face ot the eardi. Here and there we find an uneay ghost from the burial-place of its departed glories (for instance, Mario, that luckless atage-lover, bent by the weight of nearly sixty years) hauntiuu the opera-houses of Europe, and still clinging to tbat spectral mantle tor which wait the shoulders ol no succossor. Gi isi, Rubini, Tain burinl, Persiani, Lablache, all are either dea l or voiceles, aud the land of their birth sends out no jonng siugers to seize tbe sceptres which they have let tail, to seat themselves on the thrones which they have left vacant. Italy no longer produces great musical artists nor even exiraorditary voices. Her celeb; ated compo sers, too, belong as much to tne past as do her great painters, and a second Rossini, even anew Donizetti or Bellini, appears to be as unhoped for and impossible a boon as another Raphael or Michel Angelo. And thl decadence has taken place in spite of all the fostering patron -age which fashion and royalty coul J bestiw. Impressarios have planted and kings have watered this fraeile blossom of art, but the increase has been denied them. London, during the season, is the chosen home of the Italian Opera. This year, two Italian Opera companies flourished there one at Covent Garden, and the other (late of her Majesty's Theatre, which was burned down some months ago) at Drury Lane. These two establishments comprised nearly all the best musical talent iu Europe, and were eallad emphatically lmliun Oiia troupes. Looking carefully over the lists of the singers ot both companies, we can tiud but three Italians wno are known to fame Pattl, Grazinni, aud Mario. Sipnor Mongmi, of the Covent Garden troupe, is also well spoken of, and is said to possess an excellent tenor voice. The latt sensations in tbe operatic world in London were created by Clara Louise Kellogg and Mad'lle Nillson the first named an American, and the latter a Swede. Nor need we contiiie our observations to Italian opera in Loudon. Tilieus, whose name is properly spelt Tietjens, the greatest "Nerma," "Medea," and "Fidelio" now on the stage, is a Dutch woman. Marie haxe, the prima donna ol the Grand Opera at Pars, imd the original "rielika" of L'Aiiicatne, whone voice Meyerbeer pronounced to be the finest soprano in tbe world, Is a Bel gian. Her predecessor at the Grand Opera, the world-renowned Sophie Cruvelli, was a German, and her leal name was Kruvcl. Nillson the beautiful, gifted JSillsou, who lately aroused even the blase Parisians to enthusiasm, by her personation of "Ophelia" in the dull, heavy Ilam'et ot Atubroiee Thomas, thereby saving the opera from total condemnation, aud changing an utter laiiure luto a partial pecuniary success is, as wa have before said, a Swede. Pauline Lucsa, the moat renowned "Marguerite" in the world, who is equally celebrated lor voice, artistic culture, power, aud beauty, is of Italian parentage, it is true, but is by birth, musical education, and re.-tdence a German. The charmiug Desiree Artot is a Belgian. Miolau Carvalho for whom Gounod wrote his M argue rite, his Mireille, aud his Juliet, whose Pamina in the inchanted Ftute was a marvel of vocal and dramatic perfection, and whose Reine Topazo still haunts the memory of tho e so fortunate to have seen and hearuit is a French woman. Italy's favorite prima donna of the present day is an American lady, Mrs. Jenny Van Zamtt, the daughter ot our well known aud patriotic townsman, Siguor Blitz. Tbe finest tenor voices now to be heard belong to Wuchtel, the German, and Mcntaubry, Kaudin, and Capoul, who are Frenchmen. There are no Italian baritones to compare with the Englishman Santley and the Frenchman Faure- no Italian bas.o who rivals Herr Schmidt, of the Imperial Opsra House at Vienna. Against this long list wc can place but few names of great Italian siutcers. The number comprises the veterans Mario aud Ruuconi, the baritone Graziant, the well-known tenor Gar doni, Maa'llus Puuco and Trebelli, aud, last and gtratect, the world renowned siren, Adelina Pattl. Yet even the claisis, ol this last to be considered an Italian prima donna are not incon testable, as she was born In Spain, and grew to womanhood aud received her musical education in the United States, In 18C4, Meyerbeer's opera of VE'.oVe da A'ord was revived with great splendor in Lon don, and was sung in Italian. Vet before it could be produced it was tound necessary to ergage M'me Miolan Carvalho and Messieors Nauuiu and Faure, all French singers, to play the parts of Catbanue, Dauilowitz. and Peter tbe Great, respectively. In like maimer, when L'Africaine was first brought out in London, Pauline Lucca Had Wachtel, both Germans, wire the Selika aud tbe Vasco de Gama Of the occasion. Le JVowe di Figaro was psrformed at Drury Lace during the past season. It was pro duced by Mr. Mnpleson with great care atid with a cast of extraordinary excellence, aud rewarded hia task and enterprise by proviug a wonderful success, every seat in the house on each occa sion ot Its performance being occupied be tore the r sing of the curtain. The cast of this Ital ian oieia (wiitten by a German) was as follows: The Couutess Almaviva," Mad'llo Titieus (a Dotch woman). "Cherubino," Mad'lle Nilhon (a Swede). "Susanna," Mad'lle Kellogg (an American). "Count," Mr, Sautley (an Englishman), "Figaro," M. Gassier (a Frenchman). The subordinate parta were, it is true, filled by Italians; and this fact, coupled with the idea that the words of the libretto were Italian, mav afford some email consolation to the devoted ad mirers of "real Italian Opera." As to composers, we have only to tarn to the list ot operas written during the last twenty five yeais to see how Utile the lyric stage owes to ltullaa art, Ho great Italian opera ha been troduced since Wiliam THi, and very fear hive since seen the lieht which have outlived the season of their birth. Verdi, tt is true, has, with strance inequality of power, given to the world rome magnificent scenes in combination with some utter trash, and he has writtuu some few entire operas which, by dinl of dranratic libretto", striking elTec.s. and abundance of noise, have attalnol to sorreihing like enduriug popularity. Bjt setting aside his contributions tothelvtiostae, what remain? Pettilla's lone, Ricci's Vritpino e la LOirtare tne list Is but a short one. Of ttie three most celebrated comi'oser of the present day, Meyerbeer was a Gerinau, Gounod aud Aubcr are Frenchmen. Go to Germany, O lover of music! and you may listen to the operas of Beethoven, Moetrt, Von Wtber, Meyerbeer, Gounod, Auber. sung by tresh, well-trained voices, and with chorus and orcl cstra of mngnineent siee and uusur pasiable pi riection. Go to fatls, and lour opera liousis woo you to enter and bo en chanted nnmcly, Les Ilalien, the Grand Opera, La Lyrique, and the OperA Comique, to say cothing of the witching melodies and inimitable drolleries of "Les Boufles Paris ienreB," where Otlenbach is king. Qo to Italy, O deluded mortal 1 and you will find uotlung but the weokest operas of Verdi BDd his disciples, wretchedly 6ung and vforso acted, but accom panied by a balletof unparalclled rplendor. The ereat thi a'tcs of Italy are given up to the ballet, which flourishes in rank anil unwholesome luxuriance over the grave of the Lyric Drama. llitheito no authentic portrait of tbe founder of Pennsylvania was generally known to exist, with the exception of the oil painting In tho possession ot the Historical Society of Pennsyl vania, itself believed to be copied Irom a medal lion on ivory painted in Dubiu iu 16(3(1. This represtnts William Penn as a young man of 22, in armor, with tbe family motto on one side (quite unlit for a Quaker) l'ax quwritur be to. Recently, however, an original crayon likeness of PcLn, as he looked in middle life, has come to light, together with one of his second wlte, liaiiLah Callowhill. They ate iu the pos-essiou of a gentleman who resides near Darlington, Fnglaud, and who says that these portraits have remained, with others by tho same artist Francis Place, an ancestor of the present owner aa an heirloom in his family ever since they were drawn. A confirmation of this assertion occurs in Surtecs' "History of Durham" (vol, 111, p. 371), where the author speaks of "several admirable crayon drawings by Francis Place a fine bead of Charles II and William Penu and his wife" being among the number. One of the Pening ton lamlly formerly lived near Darlington, and Place is known to have been on Intimate terms with the Peuinpton0. It is presumed that during one of William and Hannah Penn's visits, Place, who was an amateur artist, drew these portraits; this would account for their being at Hinsdale, near Darlington, bo far from Penn's residence. Photographs tor thee portraits have been sent to Philadelphia, and it Is proposed to have them engraved to illustrate the Historical Society's forthcoming volumes of the Penn and Logan correspondence. William Penn's face is quite handsome, and has far more character than the ordinary portraits or him in later life, all of which are taken fron a bust cut in ivory by Sylvanus Bevan, from recollections, after Penn's death. In addition to the above there is a painting on gla-is men tioned in the "Penns and Pennlngtons," which has been conjectured to be a likeness ot Penn, but w hich is far from being well authenticated, and which more probably represents one ot the Qsrney iamily.

These Bonds are the duly antboi iscd and sccred Ited obligations of one of the uosl responsible uorpsra tlor.s of the American Continent, and are secured by an absolute first lien upon the valuable grants, fran chlies, railroad equipment, business, etc., of the BEbT POR I ION oi the Great Katlonal l'dclllc Railroad Line, Titendlng eatwsrdly from the navliabls waters ol the Pad lie Coast to the line now rapidly butldlng from the Eastern States, They bear Six per cent. Interest per annum, In gold, AND BOTH PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ARE EXPRESbLY MADE ' TAV ABLE IN .UNITED TATEd GOLD COIN." The semi-annual C Jiipons srs parabla July 1st and January 1st, in New York city. The purchaser Is charged the accrued Interest from the dale of the last paid coupou, AT THE CUR RENCY BATE ONLY. RThls Issue of Bonds constitutes ens of the L 1RQEST AND MOOT POPULAR CORPORATE LOANS or tbe conntry, and therefore will be constantly dealt In, Tbe greater portlou of the loan Is now In the hands of steady Investors; and It Is probable that before many months, when the Road Is completed and the Loan closed, THE BONDS WILL BE EAGERLY BOUGHT FOR AT THE HIGHEST RATES. Thiy are lssned ONLY AS THE WORK PRO OREfcSEB, and to the same extent only as the U. Enbsldy B3Lds granted by the Government to the Pacllio Railroad Companies. Nearly FIVE HUNDRED MILES or the road are now built, and tbe grading Is well advanced on two Hundred and fifty miles additional. The THROUGH LINE ACROSS THE CONTL NINTwIlI be completed by the middle of next year, when the Overlaud travel will be very large. The local business alone, upon tbe completed por tion, Is so heavy, and so advantageous, thst the grosi earnings average MORE THAN A QUARTER OF A MILLION IN GOLD PER MONTH, or which 35 per cent, only is required ror operating expenses. The net profit upon the Company's business on the completed portion Is about double the amount of annual lnteren liabilities to be assumed thereupon, and will yield A SURPLUS OF NEARLY A MIL LION IN GOLD afer expenses and ' interest are paid even if the through connection were not made. The best lands, the richest mines, together with the largest settlements and nearest markets, lie along this pot Hon or the Pacific Railroad, and the FUTURK DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS thereon will be proportionally great From these considerations It Is submitted that the CEKTKAL PACIFIC RAILROAD BOJiDS, Secured by a First Mortgage upon so productive a property, are among the meat promising and reliable securities now offered. No better Bonds oan be made A portion ot tbe remaluder oi this Loan is now offered to investors at 103 per cent, and Accrned Iuterest, In Cnrrency. The Bonds are of S!000 each, Tbe Company reserve the right to advance the price at any time; but all ordeis actually in transitu at tbe time of auy such advance will be rilled at present price. At this time they pay more than Eight l'er Cent, upon the Investment, And have, from NATIONAL AND STATE LAWS, GUARANTEED PECULIAR TO THEMSELVES, We receive all classes of Government Bunds, at their full market rates, In exchange for the Central Pacliic Railroad Bonds, thus enabling the holders to realize irom FIVE TO TEN PER CENT.
