' 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.

t Ik AT.nnsioN to the “Lost Cause,” the
Memphis ' Bulletin well says : “In truth,
'there can be no cause lost that was never
won apd never defined. 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. It is the
- will of the nation that the South shall guar
antee that in no form shall that cause ever
be revived*

AMUSEMENTS.
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

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.
In 1850 it wa5'75,431,000, in the present year
it is 82,272,000. Should this rate of-increase
continue it will only require sixteen years
to bring the population np to the dreaded
figure. \

I mußt now see if I can make your read
ers undefstand the glories of the trousseau of
the Princess Dagmar! 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. Many articles of underclothing
were also displayed, all of the richest ana
most fairy-like description; indeed, so fine
that you could hardly see them without a
magnifying glass.
I also saw the gold lace, embossed with
pearls, for the trimming of a dress for the
Empress of Russia; but it was not yet de
cided whether the dress should, be made of
white satin or turquoise blue.velvet. Hav
ing seen the effeGt of this beautiful trim
ming on each of the materials above men-:
tioned, I should decide in favor of the white
satin, bad I a voice in the matter. 5 '
There was also a dress for her Majesty the
Queen of Wurtemburg, quite of a simple
kind, and for morning wear. It was com
posed of a rich blue silk, trimmed with
yelet of a deeper shade, and was, indeed,
what I think slang people in your country
would call a “howler.” - ;
- By-the-bye, I forgot to tell you that the
robe of the princess cost “only £200.” >
The ladies with whom I had the happiness
to be were in fits of delight at the “cheap
ness.” “Cheap as possible,” said Mrsi X.

A benevolent gentleman, traveling in the
Green Mountains, discovered at the door of
a farm house a baby brandishing a two inch
mortising chisel, to its imminent danger.
Takingaway the sharp edged tool, he sought
the mother.. “Madam,” said he, “I thought
it my duty to stop and tell you that your
little child has got the chisel.” “Oh, sir,”
said she, “I’m ever so much obliged to vou.
I knew something was the matter with"that
child, and didn’t know what it was. They’ve
got it awful down to Bennington.”

inquire into the financial condition of this
portion of the country, and I learn that
Sheriff’s sales are becoming so common,
that almost no purchasers are found for the
valuable lands and other property exposed
for 'sale.' A gentleman informed me that
some twenty farmers had been sold ont
lately, their lands bringing less than one
dollar per acre. A sad instance of the re
verse of fortune' produced by the war was
mentioned in the case of old Mr. Prewett,
of this county, whose estate was sold out on
the first' Monday in this month. At the
breaking out of the war he was the Weal
thiest citizen of Tuscaloosa, county. He
owned three hundred and sixty slaves, and
large tracts of land. He had 1 large sums of
money out at interest, secured by mortgage
on negro property and land. He 'was a
homespun, economical countryman,' who
bought everything at the lowest price for
cash. He paid his physioian’s bills before
the doctor left the nouse.; When General
Groxton came to Tuscaloosa he took from,
this old man some forty head of horses and
moles, all his money, provisions, etc.,
which was his first calamity. Nektcame
emancipation, which swept his slave pro
