Vr I ■ ' Messrs. Roberts Brothers, Boston, have lately published a volume, the very title of which carries its charm with it*, “Charles Lamb’s Memoirs,” by the venerable “Barry Cornwall.” Mr. Proctor, although approach ing four-score years has undertaken this memoir as a real " labor of love,” and the personal reminiscences of this last survivor of Lamb’s personal friends possess a rare attraction. It is not so much on account of any new light oast upon the well-known charactetof “Elia,” but beoause every lover of letters loves all that can be told of Charles Lamb, that this new memoir will be read and enjoyed. It abounds with incidents drawn from Mr.—Proctor’s own mejnory, and is altogether a charming picture of that most charming of all the English literati. A valuable appendix to' the volume - gives the recorded opinions of various dietin' guished authors,: oh.the subject of Lambjs genius and character. For sale by Ash mead and Eyans. Ticknor & Fields have published -“Trea sures from Milton’s Prose" edited by Mr. Fayette Hurd. The work consists, as its title indicates, of ohoice extracts from Mil ton’s Prose Writings, illustrating the various phases of the character, opinions and motives of jhis great author. Familiar as most English readers with Milton’s verse, comparatively few .of the present generation know much about his prose essays, which really constituted the great labor of his life. The present volume is an admirable selection from these , productions of his mind and pen, and deserve an atten tive and general perusal. ‘lt is indeed one of those books “which no library should be without.” For sale by &. W. Pitcher. James S. Claxton has recently published a reprint from the London edition of a little treatise on the Millenium, by Eev. J. 6. Gregory, M. A. It is entitled “The Churoh and the World, at the Revelation of Anti- Christ” The author, without fixing any precise time for the coming of the Mille nium, is. profoundly impressed with its near approach. His discussion of the subject is marked with much scriptural research, and the deductionswhich he draws as the result of his investigations are eminently useful and practical. J. B. Lippincott & Co. publish, in a very handsome volume, “The Divine Attri butes,” by Emanuel Swedenborg. The writings of this remarkable philosopher and theologian are comparatively little known by the massof intelligent American readers, and in the attractive form in which they are now presented many will be tempted to in vestigate the theories of Swedenborg who have never studied them before. The Presbyterian Publication Committee, 1334 Chestnut street, have just issued a neatly printed volume, called “England Two Hundred Years Ago,” by F, H. Gillett. The story is laid in England at the time of the accession of Charles 11. and treats of the trials of the non- conformists of that day. The book has much historical interest and will be a valuable addition tothe parish and Sunday School library. An Excursion Towards the Setting Snn. At 9 o’clock this morning a party of gen tlemen started from this city, via the Penn sylvania Central Railroad. They intend visitißg the line of the Union Pacific .Rail road, Eastern Division, arrangements hav ing been made to take the party through to Fort Riley, Kansas, and back without change of cars, as we understand. Therohte of the party is as follows: Going West they proceed to Pittsburgh; thence, via the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad, to the city of Chicago. Thence to Quincy, Illinois. Thence, over the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, to Leavenworth. At this point the Union Pa cific Railroad is reached, and the party will proceed to Lawrence, Topeka, - and finally to Fort Riley, on the western verge of Kan sas, where the railroad at present stops, on its way to the Pacific. Op the return trip the company will travel by rail to Kansas City, to St. Lonis, to Indianapolis, to Columbus, to Steubenville, and thence, via the Pan Handle route, to Pittsburgh. From this point they will return to Philadelphia via the Pennsylvania Central Railroad. It is supposed that the trip will occupy abont two weeks. The following comprised the excursionists who left 1 this morning—Gen, Wm. J- Palmer, Edward Miller, the distin guished civil engineer, Thomas A. Biddle, Esq., Strickland 1 Kneass, Esq., Theodore Cuyler, Esq., Casper Souder, Esq., of the Evening Bulletin, Charles G. Leland, Esq., of the Press, Dr. Le Conte, Wm. H, Clement, Esq., Capt. W. F. Colton. A few gentlemen from Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati (including Governor Dennison, of Ohio), will also join the party. Every preparation has been made to have the trip a great success, and the excursionists will doubtless return with many new ideas con cerning the great West, and particularly the route of the Union Pacific Railroad, The Arch—Mrs. Drew in “Women Will Talk;’’ also the burlesque “Mazeppa.” The Walnut—Mr. Booth in “Romeo and Juliet” and “Tamingof theßhrew.” The Chestnut —Miss Leo Hudson in “The French Spy;” also “Nuraey Chiokweed;” The American —Miss-Kate Fisher in “The Cataract of the Ganges;” also the feats of El Nino Eddie.

If we feught to es tablish another Union, we fought without a purpose,‘ since we already had a Union; if to duplicate offices, it was a politicians’ war; if to securefreedom of States, we should have fought under the “old flag,” and never gone beyond a “Provisional gov ernment.” * The Bulletin, however omits the fact that the rebellion had a cause in slavery, and aa that is lost forever, so are all the elements that nurtured it.

PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, OCTOHEH 29,1866. THE FENIANS. IMMENSE MASS MEETING IN NEW YORK. Speech of Head Centre Stephens,&c. [From to-daj’a N. Y. Times.l Large green posters displayed upon the corners of the streets and the dead walls of the city, during the past week, have in formed the community that Mir. James Stephens, Central lOrganizer of the Irish Republic, would, On yesterday afternoon, deliver his last public address in America, at Jonea’B Woods. The Stephens’ meetings previously held in this city have not been, numerically speaking, extraordinarily suc cessful. This was attributed to two reasons,, one of which was the dissensions which existed in the Fenian ranks, and the latter and most potent one was the. fact that an admission fee of fifty.cents was- charged in each instance. Yesterday the pecu niary reasons were removed, ana- it is claimed that the other has disap peared also. But whatever previous Fenian meetings may have been, the one yesterday was a most decided success, so far aa num bers are concerned. Mr. Stephens was ad vertised to speak at 2 o’clock P. M., and for an hour previous to that time it was almost impossible for native-born citizens to get to the ground by the public lines of travel, so densely packed were the cars with our Celtic population. Ail the cars on the Sepond and Third avenue roads were put in requisition, conveying from fifty to seventy-five passen gers each. There were Irish women and Celtic maidens in the seats of the cars, Hi bernians ontheplatfbrms,Emerald islanders on the roof, and natives of Erin’s green Isle sitting in the windows with their legs hang ing outside, and beating the-“devil’B tattoo” on the panels. Two or three of the cars broke down beneath the weight of Fenians crowded upon them, and additional mo tive power had to be applied to those which succeeded in making the trip. However objectionable Sunday mass meet ings may be, they are certainly a source of profit to railroad companies. From every direction the Fenian stream flowed toward Jones’s Wood, and when the hour arrived for the exercises to begin there was not less than one hundred thousand persons present. Thiß mass of humanity swarmed throughout the entire park, seeking out and admiring the autumnal beauties,and they were many, of this rural spot. “Weighing- machines” and “hang testers,” usual- hangers-on of all crowds, were dniy in attendance, while the blind woman with her squeaky violin,gave you a “God bless yon” for the penny dropped in her apron; and that ether wo man, with her highly polished apples,’and the dirty little boy with wormy peanuts, offered their wares for sale,, tempting children in arms to cry aloud until “mam ma” invested currency therein to appease them. All the ingredients which go to make up an immense, crowd were there:,and Celtic New York, in its Sunday bib and - looker, enjoyed a holiday. Nothing Irish was lacking, save whisky and fighting. Ike Arrangements; As you enter Jones’s Wood you pass through a small grove and then enter upon an open grass plot of some ten- or twelve acres. In the centre of this open space was erected the speaker’s stand. From this spot the ground gradually rises in all directions, so that the platform occupied the centre of a natural amphitheatre, admirably formed for the accommodation of a great multitude. As our police authorities do not believe that mass meetings for sectional purposes are in accordance with our national institutions or the sentiment of the community, they in no wise give them encouragement. Accord ingly the large detail of policemen usually seen at all publiegatherings in the city were Dot present yesterday. Superintendent Kennedy, after consultation with the Police Commissioners, refused to sends police man, to preserve order at the meeting, and consequently the Fenians were left to take care of themselves. A reserve of policemen was held at the adjacent station-houses, however, to be in readiness iu case any of the characteristics of a Donnybrook Fair should break forth intones’ Wood. A small body of Fenians, who 1 wore green ribbons in their button-holes, were supposed to be a species of police-citizen-soldiers, and com petent to preserve order. There was little occasion for their services, but had they been called upon to exercise their functions they would have been about as successful in that great crowd as was the man who tried to “whistle down the wind.” Speech of Sir. Stephens. At about. 3 o’clock a shont up near the ho tel in the Park, announced that Mr. Ste phens had appeared upon the ground. The crowd swayed in that direction, and as his bare bald head became visible, bobbing about amid the multitude,, 'cheer upon cheer proclaimed the satisfaction of his ad mirers. The race for the speaker’s stand then commenced, the crowd closing so ra pidly and so closely abont it that for a time there was some doubt of his being able to reach it. With the assistance of several six feet committeemen, whose energy was equal to their length, Mr. Stephens reached the stand alive, although somewhat the worse for wear. The surging crowd greeted him with vigorous shonts,and with waving of hats, eanfea and shillalahs. Some minutes elapsed before order was ob tained, the many thousands in their eagerness to get within hearing distance of their chief, crowding and jamming toward the platform until that frail structure was threatened with speedy and complete anni hilation. Mr. Stephens at length began to speak, but his voice could not reach one twentieth part of bis audience; and those who-were notable to hear him soon became restless, and pushed and crowded upon'one another,disturbing the entire mass. Several rimes the speaker was forced to pahse in his remarks, and finally ceased speaking withont having said ail he intended. -It was an impossibility for the voice of any man to be neard by all assembled there, and it was equally impossible for so many to remain quiet and orderly. Mr, Stephens said nothing but what he has previously said id bis speeches, and which has been reported in the Times . He addressed the audience as “Fellow-countrymen and friends of liberty from all lands.” -He Bald, I know there are many of. you present here to-day who are the representatives of struggling nationali ties, and who are looking for the establish ment of a univeral Republic whioh shall extend all over the face of the earth. This immense meeting will convince our friends as well as our enemies that Fenianism' has not, as has been asserted, died out in Ame rica. It will also convince th6-friends of liberty that we are in earnest, and that I was in earnest when I said that I would begin the fight in Ireland this year. las- OUR tnBLOLE COUNTRY, sure you, hay countrymen, that I shall bs there, and that our battle-flags shall be unfurled, upon Irish soil before the New Year dawns. [Great applause,] I haVe had bard work to convince yon of my in tegrity, and of the integrity of the men at - home; but at . last [you believe, and ihis meeting shows that you put confi dence in me. The ■ great trouble with . Irishmen in America has been their want of -faith in their brothers at home, and you have been led astray by false representa tions. Yon-could not havs abandoned ns - in .the hour of onr peril bad you- known how Ireland stood. . Nor would the great Ameri can people have ridiculed and derided us had onr standing been known. But tbkr could not be—we were obliged to -work in ■ secret, and to keep a strict watch On every one, and whoever has reported that we were not organized never knew-anything about us. Oneyear ago we'had two hun dred thousand sworn members, and fifty ■ thousand of these were weil drilled and dis ciplined soldiers. At that time the British army in Ireland was in onr power and had we received from you the assistance you had promised ns, every man of that army would have’ been cap tured by us," and Ireland would to-day have been a- free. Bepublic. We have realized three great triumphs, in one of which was equal to a revolution. We had edneated the Irish peo ple to believe in Bepnhllcan ideas, ana to day were they allowed to choose their own form of Government, nine men in every ten would vote for a Bepublican Government. We had also edneated the people to-distin guish between the spiritual and temporal duties of their priests. We taught them to rely upon the clergy in all matters pertain ing to their religion, bnt in matters of §tate to look upon a priest only as a citi zen. I knew from expedience that no hope ef freedom to Ireland could be entertained unless this was done. I re member that in 1848, when we were in arms, a priest who‘was a stranger to ns, and who was unknown beyond his own parish, oonld, by his authority, disperse onr follow ers at any moment. And they did this more . than once. Now, if an officer of the Army of the Irish Republic was to be opposed by priest or bishop, he would be unheed by the Irish soldiers. The people had to be taught tomake this distinction Detween the spirit ual and the secular relations the clergy held toward them. The third triumph Ireland had made was the gathering together of a n erful army. The people unused to arms, been trained ana disciplined until they were as good soldiers as I ever saw, and were animated by a determination to restore their native land to freedom. You failed us then. The arms and munitions yon had . promised did not arrive, and we were pros trated for the time. Bnt this prostration was only temporary. Within the past three months I have heard from nearly every parish in Ireland, and learn authori tatively that the organization is as strong as ever it was. and that the spirit which animates it is also as strong. The speaker referred to the dissensions in this country among the Fenians, hat said they were now happily nearly, if not entirely, healed. He cautioned his hearers to beware of all persons who ’ should attempt to distract them from giving aid'to Ireland by pro posing expeditions to Canada or elsewhere, and denounced as enemies to Ireland one and all who should oppose the fight which was to occur on Irish soil. Mr. Stephens concluded by reiterating the statement that he would raise the standard of freedom in Ireland before the dawn of the New Year, and that, too,under most favorable auspices. A Spy In the Army. Just as Mr. Stephens concluded his re marks a rush was made by the crowd toward one side, and presently a struggling mass of people were seen to pash rapidly toward the trees in rear of the stand. Word passed that a spy was among them, and it was said that the notorious Dawson, the English detective, who caused the arrest of so many Fenians in Ireland last year, was the unfortunate person. Cries Of “Bring a rope,” “Hang him,”«fcc.,were often repeated, and for a time it really looked as if the indi vidual would speedily be dangling from the limb of a tree. Mr. Stephens, however, de manded that the man be brought to the platform, and the order was complied with, after much struggling and poshing and threatening. When the poor fellow was finally pulled upon the platform he was nearly used up with the hustling and fright he had received. He proved to be an Irish man, and gave his name as W. H. Tolly, and said he resided in Ninth street. He was subjected to a severe examination, and was at length vouched for by some well-known person. He did not care to descend from the platform, however, until Mr. Stephens had drawn the crowd away by returning to the hotel. When Mr. Stephens disappeared the immense assemblage dispersed quietly and in good order, crowding all the down town cays to overflowing, and forming a continuous procession down the several avenues. The Committee appointed by Tammany Hall to confer with the President in rela tion to the late Fenian trial, left for Wash ington on the 7P. M. train. Mr. Stephens announced at the meeting that he did not believe the British Government wouldhang the Fenian prisoners lately condemned to death in Canada. The announcement was. received with great applause. A Hunt After a $130,000 Package of IT. 8. We bear a curious story about a package of some $120,000 in Government Bonds, which may be worth relating. As we un derstand it, the bonds Vere the property of a large wool house in this city, and the package had been taken by one of the part ners for safe keeping.' It was afterward decided to send the package to branch es tablishment of the house, located in one of the western cities; and a son of one' of the partners was deputed to get the bonds and take them West, He procured the package at the house where it had been left, on -—■ street. It' was in a tin box, or case. .He wrapped it in a paper, pnt it in bis carpet bag, and started for the business house of the firm, in another part of the city. On passing through Asylum street, he stopped at Casper Kreuzer’s boot and shoe shop, to procure something in his line, ana in making room for it in his carpet-bag, he took out the tin box wrapped in a pa per.and laid it far a moment on the coun ter. On adjusting his oarpet-bag he forgot to put in thehonds, and left the package on the counter. Nor did he discover the loss on going to the firm’s house of business, but af ter arranging his affairs,wentoff on the cars with his carpet bag. About a month after his arrival at the west, the firm here sent him certain directions in regard to the sale: of a portion of the' bonds.' He, not finding the package, and thinking he must have left it in the safe at home, telegraphed back that he had no bonds. The firm then telegraphed him to return home immediately, for: the The Fenlato Trials. Bonds. [From the Hartford Times.) bonds were-missing. He cam© on-, and had . a consultation with tbs firm in the counting room. It was his belie?, and their’s too,that he had put tha-bonds intothesafe-, and that somebody had obtained access to it, in an unguarded moment during ■ business hours,.and made off with the tin-- ;box. In the midst of this troubled doubt, he suddenly started' up with the excHsmaticar that he must havs-left the package it Kreu zer’s boot store, and off he went to find' it, Entering the shopvhe said to-the proprietor,. “ Kreuzer, I’ll take that parcel r left here some time ago.” The bootmaker turned,, and reaching up to a show-case where he kept hoots on exhibition in the- pro dneed the package-. It had’ never been opened. It had laiß for a fortnight on'a shelf or counter where they wereaccustocaed" to unroll and cut leather; and where the ’proprietor had placed it, under the impres sion that it would- soon be called far. 'Finally, seeing that it was not-called for, be unrolled the paper, and seeing a tin box, ;pnt it, withont opening it, in • the show-case for safe-keeping. And thus the $120,000 in Government bonds, after being lost for six weeks; were all recovered, Thiscase shows ’that people are sometimes careless in large matters as well as small ones. RUSSIA. Kelatlons ef tbe Empire Towards Prussia and- Germany Rapid Increase ef - the Population. [St. Petersburg (October 11) Correspondence of the . Loudon Standard.] As no one knows what may be the limits of Count Bismarck’s ambitions views; peo ple naturally speculate npon the probable late of tbpse neighbors to whom he may consider it advantageous to extend the benefits of Prussian administration, and there are persons here as well as abroad who think that the German provinces be longing to Russia on the Baltic are not safe. They have no faith in the loyalty of the Livonians, the Esthonians, and the Cour landers. They think that they are dissatis fied with the government, and would be very glad to torm part ot the great Ger man nation. It would, however, be wrong to attribute too much importance to the disputes between the German Russians and the imperial government. They only wish to remain German so lar as retaining- their religion, their language and their customs is concerned. It is true, they have been too exclusive, and would willingly have continued the old system of preventing Russians from ac quiring land in the provinces, and of keep ing the local administration in'their own hands; bnt they have nothing to gain by a change of masters. By their intelligence, their education, and their probity they are. enabled to play a conspicuous part here, for they are in advance of the Russians in point of civilization, whereas if they belonged to Germany they would probably soon sink into insignificance. The fact of their occu pying some of the most important positions, renders them very unpopular, and we often hear the Rnssiansdolefully enumeratealong. list of names of Germans employed in the diplomatic service, in the armv and navy, and in the varions branches of the adminis tration. The chiefs of some of the depart ments share the popular prejudice on this point, and would gladly fill np their vacan cies with Russians only,, but they find it impossible. Their excellent training is one of the causes of the superiority of the Ger mans. The Russians have-long refused to believe in a classical education; they teach their sons everything except Latin, and consequently have plenty of philosophers at eighteen, who have a smattering of every thing, and think themselves properly qua lified to make plans for changing the form of government The recent trial of the Karakozoff con spirators, some of whom were students, sev eral mere hoys, has, however, convinced the Government that the advocates of classical education are right, and as no one is more with this conviction than Prince Lieven,- the new curator of the University, of St Petersburgh, the present system will probably be modified. When this is .done tbe Russians will have a better chance of competing with the Germans. In the mean time they may be assured that it is no more the desire than the interest of the Russian Germans to be annexed to Prussia. No one understands this better than Count Bis marck himself, who evidently intends to keep on good terms with this country. The near relationship between the reigning fam ilies will always have considerable influence in keeping np a close connection between the Courts, and the best understanding ex ists between the two Governments. The Russians show that M. de la Paletta made a very moderate calculation when he said that in less than a century the popula tion of Russia would be a hundred millions.

Ido not understand them myself, bnt that is no reason for not describing them. One Madame Boyer, a milliner, took me to the top of a high place, and.behold what I saw! The first glory developed—the presenta tion dress of the princess, after the mar riage—is composed of a train of rose pink velvet,’ trimmed with' a deep border of mag nificent Bilverlace, of a most beautiful floral design and cobweb-like texture. Bouquets of the same were appliques to the train at equal distances. The petticoat of the richest rose satin, trimmed with the same lovely lace as She train. • There was also the orineess’s pillow, the covering formed entire.y of the. richest guipure.
