Crossing the English Channel—An At tempt at Suicide—handing In Dover— England and Its Natural Beauty— The Handel Festival—Tne Crystal Palace. t Correspondenceof the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] London, June 16,1868.—We were all most agree ably disappointed in the English channel. Leaving Paris at seven o’clock, P. M., by the Calais and Dover lines,for London, and arriving at Calais at midnight,after a comparatively comfortable Bleep in the cars, we refreshed onrselvee with cups of hot coffee and tea, so hot that had 'we not ob served a rule good for travelers generally, the alarming cries of "five minntee before the boat •starts!” “two minutes!” "only one minute, ladies!’’ would have occasioned gome discomfort, to say ■the least; but we kept our eyes on the captain and officers of the boat, and never budged till they laid down their knives and forks, and then •we knew the last minute was at hand. Entering the ladieß ’ cabin, we secured a berth by placing onr parcels and boxes in them, and then going to the •deck, we resolved to stay there in the fresh air, : -unless compelled by unavoidable circumstances to lie down.-' 1 The inoon was shining gloriously clear, and soon we were rushing over the waves, that gleamed with silvery reflections, and some-' times glowed with thousands of phosphorescent stars that were churned up from the dark water by the swiftly revolving wheels. Leaning over the railings, we gave ourselves upjto the dreamy, listless enjoyment of the hour and place, and al most lulled to Bleep by the indescribably delight ful motion of onr steamer over a quiot sea, we . listened to the conversation of a party near us who were comparing notes of traveL “Oh, yes," said one,- ‘T saw nine legs, three Bhoulders, five skulls and fonr complete skele tons of St. Paul!” At this there was a general roar! “I,” said another, ‘'saw a little skull of St. Peter at one place,and.when they pointed out a big one at another, I thought I had the guide ■when I told him that was number two.” “Oh, yes,” the fellow said, "but the little one was his •skull when he was a boy; this is the one when he JDaito (failing was a man.” Presently a woman, slight, very pale and with restless movement, crept near as, then walked to the guards, looked up at the moon, down at , the waves, then 'Walked away. Her expression made mo uneasy. | She came back again, and be for I could utter’ the rear that seized' me, she sprang over the guards, and In. on instant w a garrulous old woman, to pnrehase some trifle. ‘After gos? siplng a few minutes with herj .he laid down a N apoleon and went away. On seeing the money the woman cried out toherhusband to “come and see the customer who paid gold pieces instead of sous.” The mail, In his turn, looked outhnd re cognized the F.mperor. “Mon dieul” cried his helpmate in a paroxysm of terror, “and ito think that I have just been telling him that his coming here is the rnin of ns all!” The Emperor has been engaged, I hear;, all this morning with his architect, seeing if thejprlvate apartment cannot 'be so isolated as to allow the rest of tbe palaco to be visited'by the public without Inconvenience. The-hint of. the other day has not been thrown away on him. The Emperor is an early riser in the country, and rarely leaves :his chamber later than 7 or 8 o’clock. Not a few probably of your readers will remember the room where he sleeps, with its huge bed and heavy draperies of velvet and gold, where formerly slept Napoleon L(for whom it was fitted up originally), and afterwards in succes sion Louis XVllL,Charles X. and Lonis Philippe, and now again another Napoleon. The adjoin ing cabinet is almost precisely in the state in which Napoleon L left it. There stands the large, heavy cylindrical bureau, very like those seen last year in the American Exhibition; and there, too, stands the little circular round-table, or ijucridon, on which the great Emperor signed his abdication, and en the foot of which yon may still see the mark of the spur of the impatient monarch, as he fretted and turned over the stem decrees of destiny. That little table is a good memento mori for his successor to keep always under his eye. Another piece of furnituro there Is the well-known sofa, becomo historical since Baron Gros introduced it into his picture which repre sents Napoleon seated on it reading a despatch, while the King Of Rome (Napoleon If.) sleeps on his knee. Here the present Emperor finds his Se cretaries, M.Conti and ALPietri, successors of the lamented Mocqnard, waiting for him, with whom, fie occupies himself, on private or public affairs, till it is time to join the Empress for the morning t troll in the Jardin Anglais before breakfast. This first meal of the day is served at 11 o’clock, lh the simplest manner, and absolutely sans ceremome, in what was once the salon de famiUe of Louts Philippe. The Prince Imperial here oiso’joins his parents after his morning’s studies, and the repast is generally entirely private and confined to the three, except on special occasions. After wards they odjonra to the Empress’s favorite re sort, the Chinese drawing-rooms, decorated with some of the richest sjpoils of the Bummer palace of the Celestial Ruler of Pekin, and now, alas! transferred by the chances of war and the assist ance of rifled cannon into the possession of onter baibarians. Such of your readers as may,.’ by special permission, have seen this room, or rather rooms, will remember 1 the crown of the Emperor Hou Kong, presented, among other relics of his conquest, to her Im perial Majesty by the Count of Paiikas, com mander of the French expedition. Somewhat out of place, perhaps, is there enspended also the well-known painting by Winterhalter, represent ing the Empress snrrotihded by her ladies in Boccacion style. . , In the afternoon the courts of the, Palace are made more lively .by the preparations for the rides apd' ; drives .in the forest. Hero they- conic, char-a-bancs and four, breaks and pairs, buggies v and saddle horses ! When’the Emperor is In the country, he always uses chevau& dQg<>stft t luß : own private posters, that is, hofses of the Limousin breed, called Per cherona, stout, strong, active cobs, with plenty of mettlo-in them, their long tails tied up in a knot, and bestrode, by postilions in jack, boots, leathers,' cutfjrtailed coats, cocked hats, powdered wigs and long pig-tails! Think of tho "Democratic" Second Empire} and the ~ ilu du peuple exhibiting ' themselvos thus in , a la mode In grand mon arque! But it looks very well, and sounds uncommon lively, with its . cracking whlpsand jingling bells. Thoro are Soldom fewer than sixty of these Imperial postors alone in attendance wherever the Court may be,. for the use cif the sovereigns and their guests and. suite •But Louis Napoleon’s establishment has long OIIR WHOLE COUNTRY. been unmatched for horse-flesh of every descrip tion, race-horseß alone cxcopted, in which he has never indulged. All the different parties, in car riages and on horseback, issue out nnpcrceived from the numerous exits at the back of tho Palace, and are soon lost to observation in the Tecesses of the forest The dinner hour is at half-past sevm. before which there is a general muster again in tho Salon Chinois, to await the appearance of the imperial host and hostess. The .dining room,and there is not a nobler one in any palace In the world, Is tho beautiful Salle D’Armes of Henri IV.,’ splendidly restored by poor Louis Philippe, but destined for a successor, as yet more fortu-i nate. The Court at this season gives neither balls, concerts nor theatricals' at Fontainebleau; and “early to bed, early to rise” onght, to make Louis and his family “healthy, wealthy and wise,” if there be any troth in; the - old pro verb. ' i ; FBESXDBXmAI. PABAOBAPHS. r-Tho Washington correspondent of tho’ Charleston Aenu'S^vs: “The friends of tho Pres dent here claim that he will certainly receive the largest vote oh the first'ballot at the. Demo cratic Notional Convention.” 7 ' —The NaShvllle Gazelle says: “As a choice of evils, we • feel.&ee'to say that we would', prefer Grant to Chase; And when we assort that there are over 200,000 Democrats In the country of onr notion abont the matter, we defy contradiction.’’ —The Lynchburg (Va.) Republican informs Chief JnsticoChaBe that “he might have been tho next Democratic. President of the United States, in defiance of all the world and the rest of man kind,” if he had decided the McArdle case in the Supreme Court of tho United States three months ago. instead of postponing it for party purposes until December. , —Senator Hendricks, whose prospects for the New Vork nomination are improving, is a plain, beavUy-bnUt, substantial looking man, showing his Scotch-Irish descent in appearance and habits, as well as in mental characteristics; is smooth shaven, dark-haired, with large head and high forehead.. Ho is reputed the best lawyer, next to Reverdy Johnson, on tbe Democratic side of the Senate, and is a clear, forcible, and pleasant speaker. Politically, he is not so. obnoxions to the war wing of the Democracy as Mr. Pen dleton. - ’ - . —The Mobfle Register says: “Thei Chase move ment is arousing a natural indignation in Demo cratic circles in the North and West. We do not wonder at it It would be a fatal blonder, and what is more, a barter and sale of principle, from tho meanest of all motives—cowardice. ; We trust that tbe Democratic Convention will have tbe virtue and manliness to stamp its heel . upon the' indecent proposition, and not pofinte the white man’s standard in the coming; fight with the slightest talnt of mongrcflsm or snspi clon- of compromise with'the author of black suf frage.”.-' . ■’ ■'' —The National Republican says: “Whoever Is nominated at Hew York will be a puppet. It may be Hancock, Chase, Hendricks, or Pendle ton, but whoever it may be, he will be but nutty in the hands of ’a corrupt ring which rules, the organization. The secession principles 'are the predominant views'at the top, of the: heap, and tne Democratic party, aa at present organized, Is the exponent' and advocate of rebellion, and it can no mbrd free itself of this sentiment and pur pose than the leopard canjehange his spots.’'' —Prominent in the list of delegates to the De mocratic National Convention, to be held in New Yofk, July 'lib, are B. H.'Hill, Senator in the rebel Congress: John B. Gordon, - General in the rebel army; Thomas L. Price, General in the rebel army; Z. B. Vanee, rebel Governor daring ibe war: Wade Hampton, General in the rebel army; N. B. Forrest, General.in the rebel army; Robert Ould, officer in the rebitl army; J. 6. Barrett, rebel spy during tho war. As the Cop perhead Sutlers’ Convention is hard ran for Generals, we suggest that these gentlemen pre sent their credentials to both Conventions. —Harper's Weekly thus discourses, of “Weak Inventions:” The campaign against General Grant has thus far been conducted by saying that be is no soldier, and that his name is Hiram; that against Mr. Colfax by inventing a series of very stupid falsehoods. Whether the General is guilty of the name of Hiram is a point which may be safely left to his enemies to settle. Whether ho be a soldier those enemies who have a right to on opinion, .forinstance,Buckner at Donelson, Pemberton at Vicksburg, Bragg at Chattanooga, and Lee in ‘Virginia, have ■ probably made up their minds. If they have not, the rest of his countrymen have. As for Mr. Colfax's offences, the first, namely, that he insulted Union soldiers, is charged by the organa of the party that denounced the war as wickedjmd the soldiers as hirelings, while the Speaker was always most conspicuous among the eminent suppertora of the cause and friends of the army. It did not need his naturally in dignant denial of so bold a slander to dispose ofit forever. The other allegation is. (hat he is hostile to foreigners. Bat the truth is, that. Mr. Colfax has shown himself more friendly to the Fenian movement than almost all of our public men; and so well known is his sym pathy tor the just rights of oil men, of whatever land they may chance to be native, that ho has nlwayd greatly led the average vote of his party in parts of his State where the foreign element prevails. Those who know Mr. Colfax will smile at this kind of.feeble invention; for if bis politi cal principles did not forbid any such feeling upon his part, his political sagacity would pre vent the expression of it. The enemy must try again. Longfellow In Cambridge. (From the London Dolly Telegraph.] At Oxford Mr. Longfellow will meet with a more formal and stately welcome; but there is, I think, a certain appropriateness in the fact that Cambridge should have taken the precedence in conferring on him the fi-eedom of the English re public of letters. Nothing, indeed, could be sim pler than the manner in which that honor has been bestowed. The ceremonial at the Senate House was fixed for 2 o’clock; and about half an honr before that time a few groups of ladies, accompanied by Masters of 'Arts, collected in the building. Undergraduates, as usual, were conspicuous by their absence and the galleries which run round the Senate House,'and which are appropriated to the students, hardly mustered a hundred occupants. The body of the hall was’ fairly filled with the wives anddaugh tersof tho resident professors and tutors, and with a number of the towns-people, who had dropped in to catch a sight of tho author of “EvaDgeline.” The'Senate House itself is a place too full of hateful recollections to all who havo ever excureloncd there, to look otherwise than hideous to nine Cambridge men out of ten; but I think even indifferent and impartial spectators' must admit thatdt has no pretension to architec tural beauty.- At 2 the proceedings commenced with most-laudable punctuality. The Vice- Chancellor - for the year is • Dr. Thompson; the Master of Trinity and though to those who studied under the reign of Whewell no other Master of Trinity can ever come up to' the ideal of what the Master ough t to be, yet,to a more modem generation,Dr. Thomp son doubtless satisfied all the requirements of his arduous post. The Vice Chancellor having taken his seat in his chair at the - end of the hall,' Mr. Clark, the public orator, presented to him, in aLatin speech, thecandidatefaran hon orary degree.' Amid thO BCore or so of heads of houses and other academic dignitaries, consoleu-: ous by their scarlet robes,: the one on whom all eyes were turned was Henry Wadsworth Longfel - ln stature and figure there was little to at tract attention to the celebrity of the day. But the face was one which,: I think, would have'- caught ; the spectator’s glance, even If. his attention had hot been called to it by the cheers which greeted .Longfollow’s appearance in the robes of an LL; D. Long, wblto, silken hair, and a beard of pa triarchal leDglh and whiteness, inclosed a young fresh colored countenance, with fine eat features and deep snnken. eyes, overshadowed by massive black eyebrows. Looking at him, you bad the feeling tbqt the white head of hair and beard were a mask put on to.conceal a young man’s face, 1 and that if the poet chose he conla throw off. the disguise and appear os a man in the very prime and bloom of life. In tbe lost: unfinished fragment . which- Nathaniel Hawthorne ever wrote, he propounded the quaint theory that youth and strength were the natural appanages of mortal life,and that old men felt at times a sort of strange anomaly ;ih the mere fact that yoqth was no. longer theirs. If the doctrine thus put forward id "Pansey V had in it aught of truth, no man surely , would' feel Its lesson more quietly than Hawthorne's friend and; fellow-laborer in the,world of’.letters. In Longfellow's face the Contrast,' I might almost say tho inconsistency, between tbe youth of the ‘spirit and ’ the ago of the body seems to me singularly marked and strik ing. In a fewweli-roonded Latin sentences, tho Public Orator recited , the claims of ’ distin guished visitor to the privilege of. am Honorary degree. The names of ‘.‘Hiawatha" and “Enoch Arden” and “Evangeline” .sounded, strangely amid the eocoroua'peripds of the Latin oration. When it Was ended Mr. Clark led Mr. LbngfeUo w to the Vice-Chancellor, with whom he exchanged a few 1 words of complimentary, greeting; > then the ttsnal i formalities were gone- through,'with the exception of the oath, and thO namo of Long feilow was added to the list of illustrious' worthies recorded pn the muster-roll -of the 'graduates of Cambridge. ~ The small company of undergraduates cheered lordly as the new LL. D, took, nis seat amid, the dignitaries of the University; and then the regu lar business of Commencement was proceeded with. In France or Germany the writer of the poem wpnld have introduced some allusion -to tho presence of the veteran poet, the honored guest Of the day. But sitch departure from the written letter would be foreign to the traditions of Cambridge. So, when the poem had been duly read, as per copy, the ceremony ended; the undergraduates gave three cheers more for Long fellow; the crowd, such as it was, dispersed In a few minutes—and all was over. POLJTICAJL. , Tbe Western Trip of Gen. Grant— Speaker Colfax. [tforrespondenco of tho Cincinnati Commercial.] Washington, Wednesday, Jane 24, 1868. With Gen. Dent, his brother-in-law, Mrs. Grant, and the'children, only, Gbn.- Grant will leave Washington in a'few days for Newport Barracks; Kentucky. Close by, at Covington, he will see Jesse Grant, his father; tor this trip is to bo duty and’ family together in' all .its parts. From Covington the General will go either by boat or. ran to Jefferson Barracks,, near Stl Lonis; and while he attends to militaryofialrs at that point he wQI also examine into a farm that be owns near by—the same, 'pro bably, from which he carried-wood ’ to st.- Lonis to sell to: the first customer. Then Gen. Grant will go out the line of the Pacific Bail way, from Omaha as far as the telegraph , wires go. so as to be in constant communication with Gem K*w lins, who will administer the army, Orders 'ac cording to directions received' dally from General Grant, i Returning Over the direct Pacific road, General Grant will take the other Pa'cUio Rail way southward, and proceed over it hs far as the wires go. . ■ •... ... ;■,! .Hp.r Meantime, Mr. Colfax will pack up his traps as soon as Congress adjourns aud he bos at tended to his closing! duties, and,' joined by his sister, mother, father-in-law, and also by Mr. Samuel Bowles, of Springfield, Mass., Ex-Gov. Brass, of the Chicago Tribune, and A. D. Rich ardson. of the New xork Tribanc, will proceed west over the Union Pacific Railway to Chey enne, where Mr. Colfax huß a married sister re siding. Here he will meet the family of Goners! Grant, and the gentlemen of the company will then go up into the Rocky Mountains, visiting several places described by Fremont, and os yet unviaited by Mr. Colfax. It is uncertain as to whether Gen. Grant will accompany this party, or return, straightway to' the East. Neither General Grant nor Mr. Colfax will take any part in 'the coming campaign, beyond general conference with each other. It’mny gratify a good many interested people to know that between the two Republican candidates, office and its apportionment is never dhcuseed. It is Colfax’s aim only to keep the Republish;, party straight on the way to victory ana public confidence by keeping it right, temperate and progressive. It is Grant's aim only to got the country steady, make it satisfied, and give it peace. I doubt that any two candidates for mu innl honors of so high a rank have ever schemed so little as these men. Both of them are confi dent m the country’s verdict. Grant works hard at the army; Colfax Is in bis place steadily, ex cept when he gives the three now candidates for the Speakership a chance to take a lesson at pre siding. Tlio Wickedest in an in Now York. “Burleigh,” of the Boston Journal, confirms the account given of “the wickedest man in New York.” “Burleigh” writes: “1 visited the establishment the other day, with spbc friends,ot John Allen, the most noted keeper of a dance house that there is in New York. He prides himself on keeping the model dance house of the city. He is one of the most Intelligent and notorious of his class. His building stands like a palace amid tho rookories of lower New York. His parents were religious, and he was educated for the ministry. For a time he was a student in •the Union Theological Seminary of New York. His brother Is a minister, and his nephew he is educating himself for the ministry. Hebe gan his course in New York poor, and is now said to he worth $lOO,OOO. His place is crowded every night. His bar, which runs the entire length of the building, an immense concern, is Insufficient to supply the demands of the thirsty crowd who patronize this establishment. No charge is made for admission, but, every one who enters is expected to drink and treat some female of the establishment. If parlies don't dance they are ordered to clear out. Between each danco all the parties on the fioor are ex pected to go up ana drink at the expense of the men. The women are of the lowest order, nearly all, of, them foreigners. They wear flashy costumes, scarlet and other gay colors, short dresses, red-topped boots with bells affixed to the ankles. They ore kept hard at dancing from eight o'clock till twelve,and when they are all jaded and fatigued, or lag, they are kept to their work by shouts, imprecations and torrents of invectives, curses and often blows from their task-master. In the centre of the group Allen stands, a tall, slim, wiry fellow of about fifty, sharp, keen, the master spirit that controls IheCßlabUshment, now shouting to his girls, collaring an intruder and throwing him Into the street, or at the top of his voice readipg a passage from the Bible which always lies by his side. Tracts are lying around, ana leading re : ligious newspapers can be seen and read if any of the company have a taste that way. He is very proud to have >in his establishment a visitor who is a minister or a Christian. Ho will argue with him by the hour, intermingling his obscene and pecnliar phraseology by which his establlßhment is kept,up. He is perfectly willing that any man should pray in his establishment, sing revival or Sunday school hymns, or mako ad exhortation. If youcan reformor convert any in hla estab lishment; you are welcomo to do so.' He con tributes largelyto benevolent .causes, both re ligiousapd humane... Ho acknowledges that he ; wen t into his business to make money, and that : he has got what, he started for. Boys, men,, boatmep, captains from the rivers—country meu —old womon of-sixty.and girls not twelve, crowd his.place,’together with not a few who go. to see the sights and partake of the rude fun of the place." .
