Hewitt, the well-known artist, Is engaged upon a portrait of the lion. Andrew G. Curtin. Even in its present unfinished con dition it is a "speaking likeness" of the , distin guished original, and it is a great success both as it work of art and as a portrait. The picture, which will be finished In a few days, will proba bly be placed In the Academy of Fine Arts, where the many friends of the ex-Governor will have an opportunity of inspecting It. It was painted by order of a party in Pittsburgh,and it will afford the people of the smoky city a correct idea of what Philadelphia. artists' portraiture are capable of performing. IVLW PUISLICATIONS. Messrs. Peterson & Brotherspublish, for future reference, a thick pamphlet volume containing the unabridged Impeachment proceedings. It exhibits the whole of the preliminary proceedings in the House of Representatives, and in the Sen ate, together with the Eleven Articles of Impeach ment, and the whole of the proceedings in the Court of Impeachment, with the verbatim evi dence of all the witnesses, and cross-examina tions of the same, the speeches of the Managers and all the counsel on both sides, the decision, of Chief Justice Chase, anti the final verdict of the Court. The popular edition is in 290 pages, in terspersed with eight wood-cut portraits, and is really cheap at fifty Cents. An edition in much finer style, bound in cloth for the library, is sold at $1 50. For the adornment of tasteful homes nothing comes in so well as the excellent chremo fac-sim ilea of famous pictures now published in the lithographic establishments of Europe. Messrs. Sons are now selling at their gallery, 81e, Chestnut street, a new -importation of the very best colored and steel engravings, the latest pub lic.ations of French and English houses. "Peace" and "War" are two graphic and imaginative de signes by Gustave Dora.. "From Waterloo to Paris-1615," is by Marcus Stone. A fine por trait of Geo. Peabody, Esq., is by Pickersgill. "The Offer" and "Accepted" are two capital nar rative pictures after Thomas Faed. The finest landscape compositions of Rowbotham, Birket Foster, David Cox, Penley's Scotch Lakes, &c., are Included in the tempting portfolio opened by Messrs. Earle. ART 1 ICEIII9. THE LAST D'HEYV ETTER COLLECTION AT Scorr's GALLERY.—The collection of pictures at Scott's, now visible day and night at the Gallery, and to be sold on Thursday and Friday even ings, is of a very mixed character, but coqains some good things. By %V. Koekkoek, of Amsterdam, there are Street Scenes in Amsterdam and Utrecht, No. 41 and No. 118. By the late B. C. Koekkoek, Moun tain Scenery, No. 10C. A lair interior with three figures, No. 107,called "The First Step," is by Gyselinek of Antwerp. Portillje has a hard, mi nutely finished female head, No. 131. A quantity of other paihtings, representing domestic sub jects,often with a taking narrative,are by Lampe, of Ghent; Chas. Leickert, of Amsterdam; Van Leemputten, of Brussels; Van Rompaey, of the same city; Walravens. of Amsterdam, ck.R. There are a few copies, finely executed, from old Dutch masters; the best is No. 121, a large interior after Tenlers. A clever study after Co rot, in which the vaporous tone of that master is suggested, is by poor Julliard, the French. bird painter,Who recently died among us, so young,so talented, and so far from home. There is another class of conies which give less pleasure—for ex ample No. 105, "Boy looking into a Well," un blushingly printed in the catalogue with the name of Edouard Frere. The most attractive English picture is No. 91, by E. C. Barnes, of London, called "Nature and Art." A painter,armed with palette and brushes, overtakes a buxom girl who M. carrying her basket through the fields, with the usual result. W. Shayer, Senior, of Shirley, is the author of a landscape, with gipsies, No. 83. Arthur Gilbert, of London contributes No. 84, "Moonrise in the North." Thomas Holland, of London,No. 152, a. water-color of Flowers. T. P. Hall of Lon don, an amusing figure-piece, No. 46, in which a brace of chambermaids are shedding the light of their criticism upon a half finished portrait, which the artist arrives just in time to catch. A large Marine, No. 86, "Near Land's End," is by Edwin Hayes, R. H. A. American artists are not omitted in this cosmo politan pantheon of art. Rindell, of New, York, has a twilight, No. 38, soaked with his usual ver milion. Van Willis, of New York, 48, the Road side Inn. Isaac L. Williams, of this city, con tributes the "Roman Campagna," No. 146, and "Mt. Mansfield, Vt.," 147. Hamilton has a water color, No. 151, and a Marine, No. 26. A number of the works of the late Leon Julliard are ex posed for sale, of which the landscape studies are less satisfactory than the animal subjects, such as the Squirrel, 66, Dead Bird, 150, or Chickens, 92. Winner has a religious subject, "The Rebuke to Simon," No. 103, and a "Mrs. Partington," No. 141. T. J. Fennimore, of Philadelphia, exhibits an effect of "Morning—Moose River," 'No. 108, which indicates a rising talent in the vein of E. D. Lewis. Mr. Howard Helmick, a Philadelphian, now improving himself in art at a village near Paris i has a small subject, No. 64, of a 'Girl in the Woods." Gal van contributes two figure pieces, both of which tell their story well, No. 169, "Homeless," a group of refugees in a snowstorm, and No. 42, "The Rear Guard, Tennessee."' H. C. Bispham has a "Cavalry Charge," No. 88, designed with a considerable amount of undisciplined vigor. We may bring up the line with the veteran Rem brandt Peale, whose landscape study, "The Old Mill," reveals the tradition of a bygone age. —Mrs. Ann B.Stephens has written still another " fresh sensation novel," entitled "Doubly False." PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1868. EUROPEAN AFFAIRS LETTER FECONI PAR'S. First COMMUIIIOI3 of , the Prince, im perial—The Pomp and Circumstance of Ihe Ceremony—Appearance of the Cathedral—An Interesting Spectacle —Contradiction of Patti's Marriage— Jules Favre and the Emperor. (Correeyoudence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.) PAnis, Friday, May 8, 1868.—A1l nal., is talk ing to-day of the ceremony which took place yesterday;—the First Communion, as it is termed, of his Imperial Highness. the Prince Imperial. Some six columns of the 211oniteur are occupied this morning with the details of the celebration; and I should not like to have assigned to me the task of counting how many times the words "Son Altesse, Monseigneur le Prince Imperial" (poor boy!) occur in the grandilo quent official narration of the event. There is ' something to my mind (and I think most Americans will agree with me) extremely repugnant in making the performance of solemn religious duties a matter of parade, let the party be ever so elevated and when this is done in the can of a mere child, the Impropriety becomee still more glaring and apparent. Sending the Prince down to Brittany with so much pomp was, I think, a mistake ; and If this be so as re gards secular matters, it is certainly not less true in matters of religion. Certain I am, at least, that there is no antiquated sentiment either of loyalty or religion left among the educated classes of the French people, upon whom such appeals arc capable of making any favorable or permanent impression. The only part of the nation they can Influence, perhaps, are those large masses which are still left in ignorance and Eu per atit lon in France, as in most other Euro pean states; and whom an old legitimist, the Marquis Segur d'Agguessean, in the Senate the other day, called the "rile multitud'e," just as lie might have done in the times of Louis XIV! But instead of criticis ing, I must attempt to give you some idea of this singular ceremony of the First Com munion of Napoleon-Eugaue-La - lis-Jean-Joseph, Prince Imperial of the French people. It was performed of course, in the chapel, of the Tui leries, which, being small, made the difficulty of obtaining a ticket very great; for the Empress's orders were that only members of the Imperial t.anily and household should be admitted. These, however, cad their ramifications, stretched, of course, on such an occasion, to their extre - Lust limits, are sufficiently numerous, and quite sufficed to fill the chapel with a gorgeous crowd, every one being in full dress. The building itself was heavy with rich velvet and gold dr4eries. Seats of honor were placed at one side, for the Emperor and Empress, with chairs for their im mediate attendants; and on the other side, for members of the Imperial family—amongst - whom the Prince Napoleon did not appear, though his wife, the Princess Clotilda, was there, and also his eldest son, Prince Napoleon Louis, with a number of other play-fellows of the Prince imperiaL In the very middle of the choir, just in front of the altar, were placed a chair and prie-Dieu for the Prince himself. lie entered the chapel about half-past nine, accompanied by his Governor and Aide-de-Camp, and was conducted to his place by the Due de Cambaceres, Grand Master of the Ceremonies, the Governor and Aide-de-Camp standing behind on each side. The little fellow, who was dressed in' a blue jacket and white trowters, with a white cravat, looked what tion French call Fein, that is, pale and impressed with the solemnity of the occasion 'and the scene around him. The Emperor and Empress were received at the door of the chapel by the Archbishop of Paris and his clergy, the Emperor being in full evening dress and the Empress in grey silk. Mass then began, in which Faure, of the Grand Opera, sang the principal solo parts, Anber having also com posed a canticle expressly for the occasion. But the only real, object of interest during the cere mony was the bearing of the • child who played the principal part in it, and whose most insignificant motions were watched with almost painful curiosity by the whole as sembly. The first incident was at the Offertory, when one of the assistant clergy approached the Prince, and led him, holding a lighted taper in his hand, to the steps of the altar, on which he knelt down and kissed the pastoral - ring of the Bishop of Arras, who performed the Mass. The sight of the pale child, evidently overawed and under deep emotion, at this moment was touch ing. When he had returned to his seat, the Arch bishop of Paris, Grand Almoner of the Emperor, came forward and addressed to him and his parents an allocution, which had the fault of being too long. The Empress, however, seemed to be deeply affected by it, and listened most atten tively. Then followed the ereatereligious act of the occasion: Tho Master of Ceremonies of the imperial chapel again conducted the Prince to the foot of the altar, when he knelt down and re ceived the communion from the hands of the Archbishop of Paris. The form is to hold a napkin under the chin of the communi cant at the moment of reception, lest any fragment should fall and be lost, and to hold the corners of this napkin on such an occasion is, it appears, considered a great honor. And so the Prince Jottehim. Murat and the Governor of the Prince Imperial held two corners of the napkin, and the Vicar General and First Chaplain of the Emperor the other two. The Archbishop then delivered another and shorter address, con taining exhortations to the Prince to perse vere in the paths of rectitude, following by some rather too laudatory remarks,l thought, for the place and the occasion, on the virtues of the Empress and the wisdom of the Emperor. The ceremony closed with the benediction of the Archbishop upon the assemblage. Altogether, it was an interesting spectaele;though far from being devoid of painful feelings, when we saw this poor trembling boy surrounded, at such an age, by all this artificial pomp, and thought what a haz ardous- career' he was entering upon, and how utterly wretched and unfit fur anything else his training and education were making him, should fortune some day play him an unlucky trick. Ho knelt a long while on his chair after he went back to it from the altar, with his hands over his oyes, and I dare say he was shedding tears. His mother was evi dently affected, and even his cold-visaged father gave symptokts of emotion. It was a trying day for the child; for in the evening he had to go to the ceremony of Confirmation, which was nearly as long. TheEmpross gavefifty francs each to about 3,000 children who were born and received their first communion on the same day as the Prince. Patti, La Diva as she is called, is not, married OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. after all, either "civilly" or uncivilly; and the an nouncement of the fact, in the most positive terms, at the moment I was closing my last let ter, by the Figaro, "on authority," was either a btupid canard, or a piece of ignorance—most probably the latter. I fancy, however, that there is no doubt that ,the syren's engagement with the master of the ceremonies and leader : of the cotil lions at the Empress's private balls,is "on" again; and the noble Marquis's recent visit to London had more to do with love than with politics. Jules Fevre was presented to the Emperor, two days ago, on Ore occasion of his election as an Academician. The whole party were strong Oppositlonists, but the interview passed over without signs of ill-will or ill-breeding on either side. The Emperor was courteous, as he alwayS is, and reminded M. de Remasat of their former intimacy at the Elysde, in the times of the Re public. When Jules Favre presented, as usual, a copy of his discourse the Emperor thanked him for having eulogized so successfully a phi losopher who was one of the glories of France. Besides these ten, M. Villamain was there, an ex- Minister of Louis Philippe, who has written most severely upon the First Napoleon. But the Em peror greeted him 'with his customary politeness. The mention of M. de Remasatlreminds me of an authentic anecdote of the son of that gentleman, a young man of great ability. He had occasion once to Wait upon the Duc,de Moruy, who re ceived him by saying, somewhat superciliously : "Your name, sir, I think is ?" "De Remusat," said the young man, interrupt- ing him, "In my family it is usual for a son to be called after his father !' "I wish you could have Ken the look he gave me," said my informant. The Russian Ambassador, Baron de Budberg, took a most cordial leave yesterday of the Em peror and Empress, who presented him and his baroness with theirportralt and other tokens of esteem and regard.' A fo6lish altercation, liter ally about nothing at all, at the Jockey Club, led to a duel betweenfre - Aniliassador, who resigned in order to fight, and Count Meyendorf. For tunately neither party was much hurt ; but the aged mother of Count Meyendorf died of the anxiety the duel caused her, and the result of this foolish affair has deprived the Emperor Alex ander of a valuable minister. John Bright on Disraeli—A Fierce De. nuneration. In the course of the debate in the English House of Commons, on the 7th inst., upon the Irish Church question, Mr. Bright made use of the following strong language against Mr. Dia raeli: I am not aware, sir, that anything has been said which could have afforded the honorable gentleman the opportunity of which he has availed himself of firing a parting shot against the resolutions. [A laugh.] But the proposi- Won of the right honorable gentleman himself, as shadowed forth by his Irish Minister. was that he should pay the Roman Catholic delay of Ireland —cministerial cries of "No" and roposition cheers)—and that he should increas_ ,r double the R(9lura. Danum. I think the right honor rabic gentleman may learn from what has passed to-night how small a cham._ he would have had in this House of passing a measure for the en dowment of the Roman Catholic clergy. If he had brought that question fairly before ' the house yoebibly he would not have made great confusion, for in all probability he would not have been able to induce ten men of his 'own party to follow him. At any rate, so far as, we are Concerned, we 'have taken an opposite course. A large majority—the largest that has ever voted on anygreat question since 1841—has sanctioned the resolutions that have been introduced by the right hono rable gentleman the member for South Lancashire. And we find that, notwith standing a good many archbishops and bishops —I am not familiar with all the gradations of dig nity in the Established Church—but deans, rec tors, vicars, curates and other clergymen of every order—notwithstanding they have met and made a general protest against the policy that has been pursued by the House,yet I suspect that although there are many honest people in the country who would support them, the great preponderating opinion of the United Kingdom will be in favor of the course which the majority of this House has adopted. I Loud cheers.] I will un dertake to say that, apart from tne prejudices and convictions that aris)f from association and training in a particular Church, you will find Jew thoughtful men on public questions in this kingdom who are not in favor of the great mea sure of justice to Ireland which we are endeavor ing to advance. There is no man on either side 01 this House who will undertake to say that he will find any men by any species of selection or any microscopic investigation in any country in the world, who have a claim tointelligence and knowledge on public questions, who would not give their sanction and approval to the policy which the House has pursued. [ Cheers. I Sir, I am as much interested in the peace and prosperi ty of Ireland and of the United Kingdom as any gentleman on the other side of the House can be, and I have for more than twenty years taken a strong interest In Irish questions. I have de plored the condition of that country ; I have felt it to be a scandal to English statesmanship, and 1 have said so here often and often. I have held consistently for twenty years the convic tion which the right honorable gentleman at the head of Ihe government himself held then— [loud cheers]—and which, if it were possible now to put him under an accurate , examination from which he could not flinch, he would be obliged to say that he holds now Lcheers j because, on a recent occasion he admitted that the main sentiment of that speech which he delivered twenty-live years ago was right. But lamin a different position from the right honorable gentleman. I have not been endeavoring to climb the ladder of parlia mentary promotion and notoriety. j Cries of "Oh!" and cheers.l. No, sir, I have only had the single object—so far as I have had anything to do with Irishquestions to promote what appeared to be just to that country, and which would tend to the advantage of the United Kingdom. The right honorable gentleman the other night, with a mixture of pompousness and sometimes of servility--cloud cries of "Ohl" I—talked at large of the interviews which he had had with his sovereign. I venture to say that a Minister who deceives his sovereign renewed cries of "Oh, oh!"]—is as guilty as the conspirator who would dethrone her. I "Oh!" I do not charge the right honorable gentlemen with deceiving his sovereign; but if he has not changed the opinion which he held twenty-five years ago, and which ho has said in the main was right, then I fear that he has not stated all that it was his duty to state in the in terviews which he had with his sovereign. Let me tell tho honorable gentlemen opposite, and the right honorable gentleman in particular, that any roman this country who puts the sovereign in the front—[loud and continued cheering from the oppoaltionj—of a great struggle like this into which it may be we are about to enter—who points to the Irish people and says from the floor of this House, "Your Queen holds the flag under which we, the enemies of religious equality and justice to Ireland, are marshalled"—Leheers and counter cheers]—l say that the Minister who does that is guilty . of a very high crime and a grt at misdemeanor against his sovereign 'and against his country. [Cheers.] And there is no honor, no reputation, there is no glory, no future name that any Minister can gain by conduct like this that will acquit him to prosperity of one of the mostgrievous offenees against his costotry which a Prime Minister can possibly commit. ZzGILAINID. [LNud opposition cheers, and ministerial cries of "Oh, oh !"1 The Clergy on the Irish Church Ques- On. Wednesday, May 7, a large and Influential meeting of the "supporters of the Union of Church and State" was held in St. James' Hall, to condemn Mr. Gladstone's resolutions proposing the disestablishment and dieendowment of the _ Irish Church. The Chair was taken at 2 o'clock' by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, and tiefore that hour the hall was densely crowded. The meeting was a stormy one. Wilberforce, the Bishop of Oxford, was greeted with hisses, and had much difficulty in addressing the meeting. Speeches were made by the Archbishops of Can terbury and York, the Lord Mayor of London, Lord Harrowby, the Dean of Westminster, &c. Accounts in the Daily Telegraph say : The Bishop of Oxford's rising was the signal for such a tempest of hisses that even the deafening cheers of his friends could not drown the unwel come sounds. The Opposition evidently thought that the right reverend prelate had a sneaking fondness for Popery; at least they roared out "No Popery;" they hissed,hallooedostamped their feet, and for ten minutes made the hall very much like what Bedlam might be if it were un controlled by lunacy , commissioners. At last, what we may call the ministerial party got the upper hand, collared the most sibilant of the Bishop's critics, and, after a free fight, turned them out of doors." The Bishop then proceeded; but when Dean Stanley was speaking there was another disturbance. Dean Stanley rose to move a resolution, which, while hostile to disestablishment, was in favor of largo modifications, and even reductions of the ecclesiastical revenues. "Not five words had ho spoken," says the writer already quoted, "before it was clear to the, audience that by mere endowments he sot comparatively little store. What he advocated was establish ment; what he valued in establishment was the check which it imposed on clerical tyranny, by giving laymen a large share in the govern ment 01 the Church; and he avowedly demanded that check because he was a `Liberal of the Liberals.' `lf Mr. Miall had appeared on the platform and calmly proposed tonso the revenues of the Irish Church for draining the Bog of Allen, the uproar could not have been greater than mat created by the Dean's courageous utterance. Hisses, inarticulate shouts, cries of :Sit down,' and exclamations of blank amazement brought the divine to a dead stop. In vain did the Archbishop of Canterbury benignantly implore a hearing for the distinguished and ;silted theologian ; in vain did ho declare that he would leave the chair unless silence was pre served; in vain, after his own voice had been drowned by the din, did he attempt to command attention by seizing a stout walking-stick and making the table resound with vigorous raps. It was of no use. The Liberal banner had been proudly waved in the f4ce of the meeting ; the words 'reduction of the revenues' had been whispered; it was as clear as day that a traitor had got into the camp; and amid a storm of his ses and yells,the Dean had to sit down defeated."
