Wil4am gmlen Cresson, a young painter of the greatest ingkeise, died on WednesdaY everAng at lbillford,Pa.,whither he had repaired for the benefit aids failing health.' He .was but twenty, five years of his ago, and his early death Is a piteous shock to avery large circle of warm friends: what it is 'to his family, among whom his place was such that Iris loss is the , desolation of all, we will not eOnjecture. The extreme versatility of Lie talents r and Ma habitual disposal of them for, the benefit of any scheme of charity , or public good, brought biro , .io contact with many of the best and brightest spirits of the time, who Are to-day made Mourners troth:Al his grave. By. special predilection a painter, his musical and histrionic talents were so marked that his frlendri l eannot think of him as of any bounded captivity; in bis soul Art included all; at his first 'step -upon Ibehighway _of life ithe • merit branched before him into the three grand bat easy roads,---mnsic, painting, - speech,—by any one of which the path was plain. to fame. Cree eon's intelligence, however, was too sagacious to allow him to disperse his genius aimlessly over a number of pursuits; with every temptation and every opportunity to be a dilettante, he early set his young,-grave facecir) one master career, and gave to that the force of his native will ; the brnal playedinhishatuiallAay r andabsorbed, tire dominion of the sun; if he touched the keys at twilight, or read the actor's role at midnight, these were the adornments of private life and the charm of 11111 circle, never his appeals to public sympathy: it was not until the claims of the sanitary aseoilatßii — is, daring the war, touched whit - pity - souk of - the wuni tiistingulaiteci items of the day, and made them forget privacy in the ardor to be of use, that a limited publicity was given to, his marked histrionic faculty;then it was perceived that either as an elegant comedian or as a star of parlor opera, Cresson's natural gifts net ded only a little attention to bring them to an ea quisite perfection. Before the public Cresson was a painter. En ?owed with a natural eye for color, he placed himself in boyhood beneath tht best attainable colorist, and Rothermel had no pupil of such aptness and such immediate promise; but while studying oils beneath the master, his keen wit, eellghtful fancy and occasional satire were filling sketchbook after sketch-book, and running over the edges of his portfolio. He could not write a letter without an arabesque margin of the most Feinted and fantastic illustra tions; and the instant fixing upon paper of whatever struck his eye in the passing - comedy of life made of his pencil such an instrument of correction, terror or delight as the pun was to Charles Lamb or the piano to Theodore Rook. Among the subjects of this ready faculty was the .enerable actor Charles Rean, who upon seeing one of Cresson's designs illustrating his great conception of Louis XI , readily attached his name to the page as a voucher for the accuracy of the hit. In painting proper, his first marked success was his Bluebeard. The truculent spouse, the frightened wife, the gorgeous chamber, were the admiration of the best critics. The painting was in a vein which Cresson continued to love iearly and to pursue with success. Among the Ugh-fantastical caprices of legend and fairy lore, the young painter found a ground where his love 01 brilliancy and serio-comic romance had full play. These was a modesty, too, in this choice of subject. Those who knew him best knew that he was all the time pressing towards a higher attainment,and longing for the time when he should feel competent for the delineation o' pure poesy and soul-eothpelling story. Ah, boy dropping into . the grave, like an early flower, that palette hardly harmonized and crudely mixed, who shall tell what dreams you have had, what a future you I ntended ! Who knows what passion of sad ness may have filled these last musing, invalid months, when you saw slowly and inevitably withdrawing from your powers those coble phantoms that you loved, that career your ambitioc compassed, those attainments that seemed your rights! In a little time, had life been spared, the fuluese of a completer cal ture would have allayed that heroic thirst ; masters of the old world would have set to the true line that eager pencil; the sight of all that has been done in the kingdom of art, the history of all the schools, in their germ, their glory, and their imposing decadence, would have been un rolled before those eyes that nothing escaped. Now the chance is past, and the pictor ignotus whose public was but his city and his home, recedes complainingly from the world he seemed born to charm. The curtain of a profound dis appointment closes upon that career which was watched only with laughter and delight, and the lamp of wit and genius goes out, dying into the long, dreamless dark.

How Conroe colored Royalty Con. ducts Italieln The Faris correspondent of the Boston Post gives the following amusing account of the Queen of Mob ely " Her , Majesty • Fatonma-Djotalx"-, Queen of Mohely. has been a guest of France, at the hotel dn Lotivre. She Is a little creature, coppery and with bulging ,eyes which are black and good natured. She has a tine month and teeth and long and silky hair, covered by a golden diadem anartnany,valls. Her costume is Turkish' trow seri; with colored boots, and a 'scarlet spencer. She walks' clumsily and speaks' 'French with facility and correctness. Accompanying her are , her son-in-laiv, an enormous negro of_three and• twenty, who wears a turban and carries a naked sword ; and a lady-in-waiting "on the queen, who resembles one of those. Nubian figures which' 'Support Vase-- Etreggue, witty a bead' enveloped by , 'a shawl and enortnous eat drops and) grinning teeth. The cook. of Her , Majesty is also with the party. He :tie a huge African who bears, like the son-In-law of his mistress, a sword without its sheath, though his most formidable occupation is to massacre spring-chickens, half a dozen of which•Fatottma devours daily. The cook is a personage, and, untised to European. shoes, appears awkward. in them, yet sa tanck delighted at his own erratic movements caused thereby as is the watching crowd in the court-yard of the hotel du Louvre. Strapped to his back is a sort of game-bag in which are always a cenple of live fows :in the event of her Majesty feeling peckish when out upon a jaunt. At such an emergenty, the gentleman In ques tion clips off the head of the captive bird and presents the quivering neck to august lips, which suck the blood with great apparent gusto, and the flesh, afterwards broiled, the Queen of Me hely devours rapidly with a pinch of mustard powder.--Ordinarily-for-a napktn-her-majesty uses the curly head of a dusky boy, several of whom travel in her suite in this capacity, but the honor of licking her mistress's fingers be [eggs to the lady in waltingaforesaid,who sleeps at the foot of Fatonma's bed, washes twice a year the rosel knees and elbows and even three months 4;e - out - her kwereign's ears. - The - Queen . ral years ego there was a revolution in Mada gascar. The yellow King was dethroned and spirited away. Some said he had been slain, but It has recently been ascertained that he is alive and in captivity, and the "little Qneen Mohely" has asked aid of the Emperor to deliver the mon arch in the vocative who is of her family and an ancestor. A religions society established in Madagasear, composed of Spaniards and 'French men,has taught the languages of that:,• two to the Queen and persuaded her to undertake the trip to Europe to beg for the succor needed. Everything in the plan proposed, it seems, pleased her and ber son-in law, except the boots—for barefooted, they were told, it would never do to go to the courts of - Paris and Madrid. The Queen and re lative, thh, have been practising with boots, more or lees, for a term of years, and as they can both stand upright in them at present, these chil dren of the woods and desert think the object gained—equilibrium and self-possession, when dbod in leather, being with them the perfection of diplomacy. They would be spell-bound if called upon to measure the political potency of a double clog-dance. At home the pal ,Pss of Mobily consists of a quantity of piles driven into the ground, upon which is built a large cabin of logs. The bodyguard of the queen sleep below upon the ground, ana a few are eaten nightly by the wild beaats of the emmtry—Where, - laot many years ago, the natives were fond of human hams and heels, if particularly done in souse. It was a prince of Madagascar, educated in. Paris, where Cie lived for nearly a score of years, who, when re turned to his father and mother, the king and 4neetr, thorough-bred and plump from European living, was joy fully devoured by the old folks and a few intemes the night after reaching home. But the Queen of Mohely. by public proclama tion, abolished boy and girl fare from her table, nor does she run the risk of being munched by man-eaters like her bodyguard—the tiger swal low's the chapeau with the soldier,whose uniform is a red feather in a cocked hat, and white gaiters, and the officers for drapery have a silver ring in the nose or on the little finger, according to their rank—but climbs a ladder of fifty feet to each the palace portal, then pulls the ladder up eehind her. All these kitchen facts are related to me, but I scrutinized her Majesty on one oc casion, when busy with her food—saw the entire process and her sharp white teeth,as she gnawed at the breast of a half-done chicken and tore off the strips of flesh—and concluded that, pinched with hunger, and no one near, she was hardly the one I should select to watch! a well-basted baby, turning on the spit, if I had one cooking for my dinner." Gossip from Paris-Religion,the Press, Polities and Royalty. PAnis,July 21.—The Ecumenic Council threat :no to be a thorn in the side of all statesmen, but worst than all is Mr. Veuillot, worse than all the diplomatists and writers who drop from my pen. Lie has brought out a novelty in the Univers, and a novelty that promises something very revo lutionary in the Church. The epitome of his tong columns on the pre'sent state of Catholicity is to forewarn the world that as the monarchies of Europe have fallen off. the Roman Catho lic Church will renew her vigor among the de mocracy. More of this when more has appeared, but such a man as Mr. Venillot has not published so long and important an article with out knowing exactly what he is about and what others are about likewise. His hold on ultramontanism and the hold of the same party on him are very significant. Rochefort is making himself more enemies with every dawning morn. His last number is more cutting, more uncompromising than over. Lachaud, the great speaker, better known as the defender of Madame Lafarge, is opposed to Jules Simon as Deputy for the future elections. All the population of Torz are to vote for him. Mr. Lachand is considered less dangerous by the majority than Jules Simon. He is also ap preciated at court by the Empress. At first he refused, preferring his rank as first notability at the'bar to the fifth or sixth rank at the Assent blue; but his scruples have been silenced. All the factory people have offered to pay.expenses, and the struggle between the two candidates is fair. Things, look bad at Rome, the Pope having had to give up an excursion in the country for the sake of economy. It is not generally known that whenever he leaves Rome all his suite, from the major domo to the stable boy, has double pay. Alexander Dumas is at Havre, and *as last seen at the bullfight in a tribune, where he was the central point of attraction and of universal gaze. He was with six beautiful Spanish ladies, all of whom tried to emulate in attention towards him.

Extraordinary FLonirrice, July 21,1861.—1ta1y and England have - been very near having - a tiff mpon a point of naval etiquette. On the 11th in t. the British frigate Caledonia, with Admiral Lord Clarence Paget on board, arrived off "Ancona and gave the customary salute of twenty-one guns. No re sponse, however was made from the fort, and after waiting in vain for five hours, the commander of the Caledonia sent an officer on shore to inquire the meaning of eo strange a discourtesy. The Italian naval officer of the port was profuse in apology, and had to adtnit the awkward fact that he had no powder and not even a gun at his disposal fit to fire a salute. IL appears that he had already besought the military commander of Ancona to return the salute, but that officer had refused to transgress the regulation establishing that salutes to• ships of war is the business of the naval officer of the port.. Vainly did the latter represent his destitute condition in the matter of powder and guns; the soldier was obdurate, and would not yield until he got ti• telegraphic order from the War' Ministry at Florence to rouse the welkin by his field pieces. Finally, after an Immense amount of negotiation and fuss, the salute web returned just within the conventional twenty-four hours and the Caledonia departed satisfied. A would-be first class. Power cuts a very' poor figure lu, such- an incident -as• this., More serious, however, la the utterly condition of so important a port as Anemia. Not a gun in the fort and no gunpowder tells a sad tale of poverty or improvidence atheadquarters. The affair was brought up in Parliament yester day and the Minister promised that it should not • occur again. He will at least provide the porta with saluting popguns and powder enough, oven if he finds them no cannon wherewith to repel a hostile attack. F T?W "" rl' " 1/ " I rm & I niNDON, July 25, iB - 65.-- - marican actors are beginning to make quite a stir in London for the summer season; but those who are acquainted 1 with American theatricals will roar with laugh ter when they hear who these actors are.

The others noticeable as instances of the class-a actors who, represent the American stage abroad. Why not send us Forrest and Booth to put these "great tragedians" in their proper places? ixeontive Committee N. Y. "Boys In This Committee has held several meetings lately, ana has ilnallY established its headquarters in Rooms Nos. 16 and 17, Astor House. The following address has been issued by the Committee, and speaks for itself : THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE "GRANT AND COLFAX BOYS IN BLUE" To the Veterans of the State of Xeo• York!—Co3r a.t.ars • The greatest and most desperate war known to history-was waged for four years with the avowed object of destroying our beloved Union and blotting out our nationality. That contest was a necessity of our former conflicting systems of civilization, North and South. It was ordained to come when the grand principles of the Declaration, becoming overwhelming In the multiplied and powerful free States, should threaten, by their example and their progress, the existence of Haman Sla very. It came, and against the Government, against our nationality, the slaveholding - States, con trolled by the favored few in whose hands their system placed their governments, declared open war. Loyalty was stamped oat and treason ruled. Besides this, a large minority at the North, bad enough to be traitors, but too cowardly to take up arms, gave evidence by their hiss of the presence of their ppison. James Buchanan, then President, declared that "the Government had no power under the Constitution to protect itself," and Horatio Seymour said: "Successful coer cion is as revolutionary as armed rebellion." But sublime patriotism has kept even pace with freedom in its grand progress, and millions of men and thousands of millions of treasure were freely offered in defence of imperiled liberty and a threatened nationality. You know full well the details of the mighty four years' struggle. They are with you daily in the hallowed memories of every battle field; the sable weeds of mothers and sisters of dead com rades remind you; onerous taxation, which re duces your bumble incomes, reminds you; nor have you forgotten that thousands of lives and millions of treasure were added to the score by the "aid and comfort" given armed treason by Copperheads, who, when you marched gladly to to the front singing We're coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more !" called you Lincoln hirelings, and hissed between their teeth the hellish wish "that , you would never return alive;" and who, in conventions assembled, deliberately proclaimed the war a failure, and demanded that "the unholy war should cease." By the skill of our generals, the valor of our armies, and the generous support of all loyal people, the Government triumphed over its enemies, and the nation was saved. Defeated treason was prepared to accept any terms at the hands of victorious loyalty, only asking,and that as a boon, that their lives and property, other than slaves, should be spared to them. Then an apostate President, himself the rebel lion's greatest victory, by his acts proclaiming himself the government, assumed to establish civil governments in the conquered territory. Then abject, shame-faced, whipped Treason again held up his head, and the leaders of rebellion be came civil rulers, and loyal people South were placed under ban. But Congress, fresh from the people, and their authorized voice, wiped out the governments of Andrew Johnson, and estab lishes governments based upon loyalty and im partial suffrage. The election of 1868 will embody the verdict of the American people, as welt upon the triumph of our armies over armed rebellion, as upon the Congressional Reconstruction of the rebellious States. With poetic justice, Ulysses S. Grant, or Ho ratio Seymour, is to become the representative of that verdict. We trusted him when to trust was to risk all. Scarcely less is the trust that the American peo ple are called upon to repose in him who shall succeed Andrew Johnson in the high office which he so deplorably prostitutes. Around a more dangerous, because less brave man than Jefferson Davis, to-day every disloyal person, North and South, is rallying, in the hope of accomplißhing, by a flank movement, what brave traitors failed in by direct attack—the over throw of this Government. The Democracy of Horatio Seymour is Re rolu r ion; the Republicanism of Ulysses S. Grant is peace, and a restored prosperity to the whole country. Every man who wore the "blue" when treason leveled cannon, musket, and sabre at the heart of our loved country, is invited to join us in the work of making the great captain of our victo rious armies President.

A correspondent with Grant upon his Western trip writes: '' At Central City and Georgetown, Nevada, the miners were apparently the most eager to see General Grant. A company ofperhaps a dozen of these Came in from a distance of ' eight miles. Thege were men of opposite- political sentiments in about equal numbers among them, bat it was not apparent in their behavior. One, who, was appointed chairman of the party, said: " Gene ' rai Grant, we are a rusty set of hard-working miners; we are shut out from the world, and are not, so well posted !nal the news of the day—we lave - ma:vote in the coming election ; but for all that We are not less anxions to see the first man of the country, to shake hands with him in wel come, and show our civilization." Gen. Grant manifested a great degree of emo tion in replying to this friendly greeting: "I thank you, gentlemen, for this • generous expression of friendship. It is as gratifying as It is sincere." There was no eager crowding and rushing, or unseemly behavior by these men, who exhibited a greater degree of gentlemanly respect and Ipii ce_lhan_was obßprvad In _the conductof_so large a company anywhere on the way. —The Natchez (Miss.) Democrat Is thus pro fanely and ridiculously offensive: "If we have __either_tolleht,_or_to_forgetthat_there ever was a Eunneynede,Lllor a Sydney, or a Jeanne d'Arc,or rola - tme - , - Itriirstticer - for the coun try's sake, and to show that Christ did not die in vain for the human race, let us prepare for it. Even if we must die, let us die game! Thousands of our young men are too proud to work. Let them not be too proud to die, if need be, for their country." The Jeffirson (Texas) Ku-Klux (Seymour and Blair) says: "We well know that if our standard bearers shall be made to trail our proud banner in the dust, that then the expiring shriek of a cherished freedom will be heard, and a night of eternal gloom and misrule will be ours.' And further: "How shall we obviate a war of races? There is no way under the broad canopy of hea ven, without it is driving from our midst these low, mean white men. With them out of the country, the negroes and white people could get along peaceably and quietly; but if they are allowed to remain in our midst, just se sure we are bound to have a war of races, and when there is one drop of blood spilt, we predict that it will flow as freely as dots the Mississippi." —The kt, Joseph (Mo.) Herald, speaking of the disturbance created by Democrats at the recep tion of Gene. Grant and Sherman in that city last week, says : "In the noisy mob hooting and yell ing Insults at Grant and Sherman, wii recognized the same boisterous element which passed a re solution at a meeting in the Court House in 1861, that no appointee of l!4r. Lincoln should ever-oc cupy the St. Joseph Post Office; the same ele ment that raised a Rebel flag at the foot of Felix street,and killed the commerce of the city dead as a door nail for tour years ; the identical element which tore the flag from the roof of the Post-office, and threatened with death any man who dared insult the chivalry of the South by unfurling the banner of his country." —The Raleigh (N.

We must stick to our principles (all good Democrats and Republicans alike), and stand by the old flag, and tread under our feet the flag of secession and repudiation nn furled and borne by Horatio Seymour. I tell yon we must whip them again, and we will do it." —The Southern l'indicater, of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, warns the people of that State - not to be misled by lying Radical emissaries." It says: "We desire our democratic friends to be wary bow they listen to the voice of the Radical press. Since the presidential nomination'a movement has been set on ,toot to prejudice the Southern mind against General Blair. It le published to the country that he is the individual who, when Postmaster- General, refused to allow Democratic papers to come South. This is a vile fabrication—an elec tion trick to carry out their infamous plan to further persecute us. It was Montgomery and not Frank P. Blair who was the corrupt Post master-General." How will Montgomery Blair like the com pliments of his present bed-fellows? And what will Frank think of this attack upon hie brother? —After quoting the letter of Gov. Seymour, wherein he states he never owned a United States bond, the Cincinnati Enquirer, Pendleton's home organ, says: "We did not need this to convince us that Mr. Seymour was not the bondholders' candidate. Those who attended the Now York Convention from the beginning to the close were made thor oughly aware of this fact. The bondholders' hopes and anticipations were entirely in a differ ent quarter, which was well known by Ohio and by Mr. Pendleton's friends, who nominated Mr. Seymour when their own favorite could not be selected. Mr. Seymour represents the people r hi this IF sue, and not the bondholders." An English paper says: "A fisherman of Mo vagissey lately became impressef. %,,tl2 the idea that he was 'ill-wished' by a pc .r widow, whose son had been dismissed from a mackerel seine. To avert the evil corsequences which he appre hended might ensue, be procured a large bone, and after filling , the hollow with pins, proceeded to place it in the chimney. Daring this ceremony he rend portions of the Bible, especially the 109th Psalm.

His plan is that, in the car stations, there is to be an ordinary steam engine, of about sixty-six horse power, for.compressing air into reservoirs. The reservoirs ap made of a paper composition and two of them are placed on top of the cars. ' On each car there is to be a small engine, operated by air, supplied from the reser voir in the same manner as steam, giving the exact amount of power that is required to com press the air. The engine is not diflictilt to run, and the ears can be stopped as readily as whore horses are used. Each car will have 300 pounds of air to start with, which will be sufficient to run it nine or ten miles. The exhausted air, - as It escapes from the engine, may be used for venti- - laden.
