"Well, that Is rather odd, and what the end of it will be I can't make out," says the , reader. "No more can I," says the writer, "for in Lon don the grotesque amounts to 's fascination; and of all the odd plates in creation, that city is the oddest where if you go to the left ybtere right, and if you go to the right you're wrong;" that is, when you drive or go on horseback, be cause the rule here is not "turn to the •right - , as the law directs," but turn to the left. If you ask an Englishman "why 2" 'he replies; "We always like to have the whip side of our horses, and, turning to the left, we keep a look-out on the right side." 'That is certainly true, and not only of your own horses, John, but any other man's. King Theodore's, for instance, at the Crystal Palace. He is mewed up in an inclo- Imre about fifteen feet sqgtare, and a shilling extra will admit any ,, one who is curious to see this trophy of the Abyssinian war. To say "mewed np" is to use an. English expression:7Btables are unknown in London. They are all called "mews." Where a million of pounde is paid for an acre ground, mews are seartiVon private property. The consequence is that corporations or associa_ dons purchase or rent the ground, build the stables, and each parish or district is furnished with a boarding-house for horses, price accord ing to the size of the apartment occupied. Now, don't sneer, reader; please remember this article is partly on the odds of London, and the differ ence in the size of horses is as great in London as between a Newfoundland dog and a Mexican Chewawa or pocket dog in America. For instance, on Hyde Park a family of seven, the majority being grown people, father, mother, nurse and foot elan and three children, will come trundling along in-a basket coach running - onfottrwheels, all the same size, being about two feet and a half In circumference, the size of the back wheels of our children 's velocipedes,with not two but one, little dump of a horse, whoisn't 4 Shetllnd pony nor a donkey, but one of a breed of English horses reared on the principle of a dwarf pear tree, for quality and not appearances. --A tough, heavy, shaggy, - obstinate little animal, whoie speed and strength are like John Bull's love of Ilinghlnd, never questiOned. Presently the Princess of Wales comes dashing along in a baronche so high that a small pair in stairs is necessary to climb into it, and a pair of magnificent horses, whose tails are over a yard long; withOnt' comm near' the ground, carry this melons burliest_ Aiontpalsige„ to l'aris ..„ li tit 'VW - contrast Ilia not` reached 4 elliTUrr yet! IF your imagination is quick enough, catch up the little 'horde arid- little carriage Ititli,a b g family in it, and jest as you get to the Mar e Arch, the Oxford street entrance to /Lytle Park, you will see a long line of Flatfish horses, high as an omnibus almost, and nearly all of thetu elute, with immense bushy fetlocks and rough coats, drawing on a balance . cart great blocks tif granite. Of course they stop just before the gate, and- one horse is sure to stand directly in the left drive. What would you feel like doing in such. l a position, reader, with the full knowledge that a good dinner was waiting at home for you and an appetite somewhat sharpened by your dririi ! John Bull, seztior,rnaketino atittabont it, but gii, tug 'taught spur away go pony, carriage, mother, nurse, footman _anti_ the three rhibb-Pil right under the big horse and come out all right on the other side, without grazing his big legs with either side of the carriage! Some young Americttn who has "done London" may say, "I latow all about big horses in London; I went to the breweries and know how they grow horses!" That is quite another thing. The strong horse described above was Flemish, an lin portation. The immense, smooth-coated, fine Looking brewery , horses are not strong. They are fed on malt, and get puffed up, and get beau tiful silky coats, but if they are wounded by any accident their blood is so poisoned" by the inhale ration of the fumes from the brewery vats that they die of gangrene. The same is the case with the men who work ititthe brewery. There are, of coursB,strong English cart hors bred, but they are not so large as strangers are fed to suppose before they visit England. The medium sized carriage and riding horses are fine, but the French horses fire much prettier. Some persona have the mistaken idea that London Is so immense that, compara tively speaking, there is no end to it. Bat he city of London has an end at Temple Bar, that divides the Strand and Fleet street, or cityi of --Westminster, from the city of London. These two cities and thirty-five other towns form one vast metropolis, called London, just as Smith wark, • Kensington, Spring Garden and the city proper used to be called Philadelphia, but were not one Until the Consolidation, some years ago, when the grandilluminatiOn of Philadelphia gave evidence of- - the people's satisfaction. Such an event in London would not only be a matter of importance to the'people, but save her Majesty the Queen some trout*. For instance, if she enters "the city" whicli is . governed. by the, Mayor . .of London, she niust ask permission of that descendant of Whittington. On her approach, the gates of Temple Bar pare immediately closed, though never shut at any other time. An officer of the Queen goes to the gate,. knocks loudly, and it is opened by 4 the Mayor's orders. Then the key of the city is or • mallY presented:to the Queen, and shegoeson:er int way. This ridiculous old custom is never alto ed ~ t o ,he , . ,broken although there is no ore .'sienso in it than there would have been, (hefore the consolidation) in , the. , people of Spring Gar den putting a gate at Sixth and Vine, streel so • the Mayor of Philadelphia ,would, have s ha to ask their permieskin to enter: tlie , district. iOn , . enenceasion the Queen;wislting,to:go incog4ito, •entired ".the city" in her carriage, but waslim 'mediatelY reeogniied, mobbed and' informed -,that-the Queen of England should not encroach on, the privileges of the Mayor of London ! . That Was an end to her experiment, and'iney •as well end,these scraps of information that interest visitora irtlondon. , Some , day, the ,readerti itho• Have faithfully_inad_ilds -trifling-article-shall- be, rewarded-with an account of: a great holiday at. the Polytechnic; where the 'couplet that 'heads this article was sung. - , • - - E. 11. W. .. • OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. KUUIMPLPHIA, WEDNESDAY,, AUGUST 2 6,'1868. . _This London Press on Thaddeus I, agervens. The Star'thinks that ie *recent times no man probably exercised so commanding an influence upon American politica as Mr. Stevens. It says:, In all that appertains to the reconstruction of the Southern States he has been the ruling spirit of Congress. By great force of will, by the un sparing use of invective, by a thorough know ledge of parliamentary usa and by a deep at tachment to the cause of human freedom, Mr.- Stevend not only made Idnuielf the foremost man in the Howie of Representatives, but succeeded in• carrying through both• branches of the Legislature a series of measures', which' —whether his own name is destined to live in history or not—will shape the *hole, future of the American 'nation. Thaddeus Ste vens had a bitter tongue, but its bitterness wax* more keen because it was generally used against; traitors and evil-doers. • His hostility to the South was the natural consequence of his anti-slavery op_inionli. ,TWenty years whem he first en-' teAtil Congress as one of the representatives of from -Pennsylvania, his 'voice' waSconstantly, raised In denunciation of negro slavery.- It was therefore, not surPriaing—indeed it was to his immortal honor—that when the opportunity occurred he resolutely determined to' give effect to the opinioni-which heliad advotated daring his previous career. The civil tvid political equality now enjoyed by the negro race In the Southern States is, in a great measure; the fruit: of that determination. His financial heresies will soon be forgotten; but this noble monument of bis labors as the leader of -the Republican party will survive even his own personal fame. He died in harness, and after his work had been fully accomplished, for although, his _impeach ment of Mr. Johnson proved abortive, yet he as completely defeated the .pelley of the President and his athisers as if he had actually succeeded in removing him from is exulted, office which he has so unworthily till The Daily News thinks that Mr. Stevens had outlived his work, the principles for which he stru:ggied having been established by IWelation; and that he "was not the man for leadership in reconciling times." The .Vezcs says : - He' was more a revolutionary leader than ,a statesman. He had that firm grasp of great prin ciples. and that enthusiastic confidence in their application which leaders of great national move ments always possess; but ho had none of that power to understand and appreciate a policy other than his own, which is so necessary to a statesman. He could never see that there might be two opinions on great national questions— those who were with him were for their country; those who were against him were against their country: He could not change with circumstances, but played the crusader when the crusade was over; and kept sounding the trumpet of battle after the victory was won. For a year or two past he has.been the stormy petrel of politics. ' His weird" look, his wonderful energy in triumphing over manifest physical decay, and his excited oratory, made him , the most remarkU,- We figure in the Howe of Representatives. But Ids influence over legialation was but small, and his sway over the popular mind had departed from-him. His work was done when the battle was won and the Congressional - poiiey firmly established, and his departure from the scenes of his triumphs will leave a personal void; but can not be said to leave any importantplace unfilled, either in - the' leadership ot, his party or in the counsels of the nation. The- Telegraph believes It in a great, measure due to Mr. Stevens's _vigorousand persistent warfare against slavery, and his fiery and, unre lenting denunciation of tko,treason4 oll tbAt sobers; Olt thellalia llerat larty was alibi ' conduct the war to a victorious accomplishment orall the great ends at stake: - 3 From the day on which the defeat of Ball Ruhr. first convilld the icalth.that the battle was Alf hfe or death, Status and his colleagues began to proclairit - the truth that the &nth coral} never he (*.ribbed soJasig as war-Vans not declired againat slay ay as as against the Confederacy. Thetrine at itt F ' Sot. enunciation was not at all nel=l4,-* • tvntbstanding the out cry of theool *, li,airats, the Republican "Moutitaln;" " - afailiff,.-ind 'lag friends were called, kept on declaring that there could be no peace 1511, the uneettliar institution", had been abolished •Al the outiet. they were laughed et, reviled as traitors, eondemned as fanatics; bin they kept on their. Cato-like cry that Slavery must be *destroyed, till atlastthe course of events justified their counsel, and they found that Go vernment and ,people _ were both upon their s 1 e. Just BO since the war; Thad Stevens's cry, "The Commonwealth is still in danger," had finally brought his party to accept -the doctrine that democratic institutions must be established in the South as well as at the North.' The per sonal energy and talent of Thad. Stevens achieved what Sumner, Wade, and Butler, without hipi, would have tailed to do,'and negro suffrage was made a tenet of the Republican platform. The Telegraph estimates Mr. Stevens's personal char acter as follOWs There was something grand in the very ferocity of his anger. He hated the Southerners as Cato Sid the Carthage.nians, as _W%Blain 111. hated. the French. Their friends• were his enemies, their toes his friends. Extreme old age, failing strength, and mortal pain never softened the fury with which be hunted President Johnson down from the hour of his defection. He-was neither goad, nor wise, nor- generous; but in his time did 6ignal service, and, with all hla4iults, we may apply to him that famous phrase,, , 4•That. Was a [ban." With his' death 'we may fairly expect wiser counsels to prevail in the Republican party. The Standard finds Mr. Stevens animated by no other motives than "hate" and "revenge," as it might well do with such a misapprehension of his character as the following: sentences betray: Implapable In his hawed 01 every human being, except a negro, who owned a Southern State las his birth-place ; hard and cruel by nature, so that a tale of misery or distresz was never known to move him, he was exactly fitted for the -is rn work which. had to be done by the ruling patty 1 4 during the civil war. -* • 0 *:' , Sumner for nearly twenty years, and Stevens for more than thlrty, bad waged incessant warfare against tithe Southern party ; and wlule one was smarting tin der the personal outrage committed by Brooks in the Senate, the other is said to have carriedhie fondness for the' negro into his own home. When the war broke out the hearts of both leaped for j ay, - and - when it was brought to an end "revenge" was Pr , only cry whick ___...... ever , came to their lips. t-- , --, - ---.. , FRANCE. ; Noting cavaignae and Napoleon at the sorlitatne General CavaignaWS ilildossiSignals liar Son to Refuse the [Paris titirust 18) Corresiondelice of London Timee.l An incident occurred the:other day, during the distribution of prizes to the best pupils of the colleges and lyceums connected with the Univer sity, which was hifildltuth&great hall of the Sor bonne. The proceedinglavne of much solem nity; it is held annually,-at the commencement of the vacationsvit.: invariably; attracts- a great. number of spectators, among whom are sore of the highest official' personages, civil alnd an It Is presided ' over ^byhe 3dinister of Public Instruction, Who, in his capa, city of Grand.blastekof the University pronounces an oration antiplaced.; with his hand the rowns of laurel °tithe heads of the lauerates who 'have obtained:the tnizegt in their respec tive classes. Among the'youths - mho weremost distinguished for ,Greek composition in the 4ec .ond. class of lair c 9ll bol.(CharleMaghe) was ,the son of General Cp - vaignac,-.,and the moment his name was proclaimed,, which it,was on two rpc4' essions, a 'burst' of applause- followed:, M. - Durny, who, as. Minister,"preardiul, had hylhia side_ the Prince- - Imperial, who'-appeani4 to be delighted with thb whole_ procetaing; attenliod _by his governoryGoterall-Frtisliard; and hls frt. vate 'tutor. No one joined' tuorle_heaftily_ln the applause bestotied-on'the - son of his old commie , 'than the General, and blq example,was 'Wiled , . by his pupil,. Young Oavaignac" was caller up, by the,Minieter to receive the crown which he held in his hand. The youth, who is, I believe, fifteen years old, did not move from his place. A professor of his college, thinkinp he did not • bear the summons, made signs to him to come forward. Be hesitated for some time, then rose from his place and made a movement as if to answer the appeal; but at that moment a lady, understood to be his mother, Madame Cavaignac, half rose from her seat, and made a sign with-her arm forbidding him to stir. Another burst of applause followed, in the midst of which the young man, who appeared much moved, and did not seem to know what he had beat do, resumed his seat. The Minister remained standleg- for some minutes waiting for him, but as nobody cam* forward toyeeelve the prize, as well as the congratulations Of the Prince Imperial, be re quested 'that "the pupil Cavaignac , being obsent," the next'prize manshould be called lip: This incident somewhat troubled the Order of the ,proeeedings. Little attention was paid by the spectators to the rest of the ceremony , and it • became the principal topic of conversation the rest of the day. The applause which was heard within the walls of the Sorbonne was renewed out of doers among - the young people,. and as they grew somewhat tumultuous some arrests, it is said, were made by the serving . de ville. With my recollections of General Cavaignae and my admiration for his conduct, I still, think that the advice given to his son to refuse the , honors awarded for proficiency in his studies by the head of the University of which he is a pupil was not in the best taste. If it be °radation to accept rewards of merit from the hands of the • Grand Master of the University, 'it no less a degradation to receive his education at a college of the University, and not less so to accept the degree of Bachelor of Arts and Sciences, because the diploma le - made out •in the name of the Emperor and is signed by his Minister of Pub lic. Instruction. Among the many persons who have been elected, since the empire, members of the French Academy there are several who as suredly do not cherish friendly feelings towards the Emperor or imperial institutions; but this does not prevent them from presenting them selves in academic costume at the Palace of the Tuileries to solicit his Majesty's approval, and to receive, without displeasure, his congratula tions, should he think proper to express them. In the Comtitutionnel M. Boudrillart asks : "Can it be the presence of the Prince Imperial that prevented young Cavaignac from accepting, like his comrades, his reward ? Such a preten sion would be most strange. Poor young man ! Perhaps he has never been told that after the days of June it was against his father's life that all the attempts of the demagogues wore di rected. Whosoever represents order in France, whether his name be Louis Philippe, Cavaignac or Napoleon, will be sure to have against him a party-that has been - devouring-us for the last eighty years—the party of anarchy, the enemy, of liberty as of order, and the scourge of all honest men." The following letter on the subject appears in one of the evening papers : 1 "I hope, sir, you will give the publicity of •your journal to the following facts: Yesterday, during the distribution of prizes at the Sorbonne, the recollection of a life of integrity and , devotedness' caused the proclamation of the name of Cavaig= nac to be received with sympathy. Tile young inheritor of that nam c ellid not think proper to go - to receive the aced? of -the son of him who canagd his father to be arrested in the night, thrown into a prison vtu3, - and, shut up like a malefactor, conducted • to the fortress of Ham. Each one will ; appreciate - that -conduct accord= ink to his conscience. But by the side of .the young Cavaignac as - etwor lo 4,- ithilk fades, educated with him, full "orjoy 4 at the good fortune of his friend, and- Pia* heartily in the applause given to him. A f faith° latter been made respcnsiblefor, the rte, of Cavaig nee to „receive the grown which, sited him? Anyhow, the fact Is that his app93 an : ooked Open as a crime, alid,that he wits)) ' i t* quit the place. He replied. Wit he had' ht to ap a6d plaud. Hu was told thathe would be Wiwi out by force. "Do soli he retlied; forlit felt that to submit to an act of Injustice would be tokauthor ize it. When the proceedings, were over the Cart- Btu" of the .Lyles Charlemagne interpellated the mother of the young Sends; ,a widow to whom rxhie ,of the trials of life- has been spared a woman'easy to crush. 'Ton are quite.rejoicedt"he Said,"at the success of your son in the ton3petitioti? Well,then,he has turned a day of rejoicing into one of sorrow. He is expelled from the Lye4e.

Opposition from all kinds of men the Government has had to bear often enoegh, but opposition from a schoolboy:— ii is exceedinglyawkward.

Rome. The Pope has bit upon a fineplan to sober down his ever unruly Romans. In the year of the Council he • intends to celebrate also the "Year of the Jubilees" (Anno Santo), which on account of his "absence in 1850 did not come to pass. > This would be no joke. Al? "wordly' amusements," such as theatres, concerts, balls, &c.., would be entirely 'at an end during that whole year. We wonder how the Romano would' like that? „ The Auzeigir, of Mayence, publishes a letter from a Pontificanonave, written in the name of nearly 800, 0.2 7 / 1 /1118, hi* comrades, whop have; been arrested. for attempting to desert their: colors.

The Frontier Between France and Spain. The Pall Mall Gazette says:—M. Prevost-Para.' del relates in the Debate how, after fifteen years of contestation, the frontier between France and Spain has at length been fixed. It might have been supposed that the natural limits having been clearly defined by the Pyrenees, the task of drawing-- a frontier line between the two countries would have presented no diffictilties,bat it seems thkt every yard of mountain was con tested, and the Spaniards in some instances produced documents dating from 812, .or the time of Charlemagne. On their side the French were ' rather short of old parchments many having been destroyed during the revolution, but they are not dissatisfied with the treaty signed on behalf of their government by General Caller. 31. Prevost-Paradof says _RAlE:interesting to flnd that the Spanish villages annexed to France by Mazarin at the- treaty of the Pyrenees are en tirely French in feeling, and he concludes his ar ticle by remarking that during the fifteenyears occupied by these negotiations more than one treaty, the result of force, has been signed and violated. He hopes that the Franco-Spanish ant rangement,peacefully conducted, will have a long existence." „ IFires in Russia. A St...

"About the beginning of this latter period little levet ; owed, and the im pression was that the eruption was nearly over; but on the 12th greater activity, which continued till the 15th of February, was observed, the deto nations were loud, generally it f the morning and evening; some - stones were thrown out, and theri comparative silence. ensued. Daring these two or three days several "shockft of earthvake were registered, and , the apparatus of variation was disturbed. A few sublimates were collected on the summit, but no; sufficient to mark the end of the eruption. Op the 17th yet greater activity was perceptible, and Its periodicity was _ con- _ firmed; Twice a day Vesuvius puts forth all its energies, interesting equally the scientific and curious. "The guides of Vesuvius who reside in Resina saY that in their town great shocks were felt, sufficient to make their doors and windows tremble. Columns of stones, they add, were shot into the air at the height of three hundred metres, something little short of nine hundred feet. The lava,too,progressed considerably,forni lug at the foot of the cone five different streams. which poured over like cascades. On the 18th the great cone began again to roar with con siderable violence, and two shocks of earthquake were felt distinctly in Resins, the very summit of the coke fell in, forming by the'ebstruCtiOn of 'the material three craters, Whielf threw 'out large qtrantitles of stones, and offered, as it were, a magnificent display of fireworks. The entire .cone trembled, too, as if shaken by an earthquake, for four or five seconds, while later in the day the lava forced an opening in the direction of the Plano dello Gines tem,' and' flowed onwards in a stream of full ten metres in width. From this time to the end d 2 the month the mountain has contlnuedlo thundorouid to throw out masses of red hotlava, Which, dividing into many streams; present. at a distance a spectacle of great beauty. Frepent though slight shocks have been felt at Resins, and;indeed, other places in the immediate neigh borhood; but they create no alarm, as the people are so accustomed to their return. On the night, however, of 27th there was one unusually strong. It seems now to be confirmed that the volcano acts under inner influence. In truth, the periods its greatest.eruptions get every day about half an hew later, coinciding with the 'evolutions of the planet. "I have only to note the nature of the mate rials win& have been thrown out during this the third phase. The ashes and the sublimates have been in , small quantities, whidit, according to Palmieri's own assertion on several occasions, indicate that the druPtion is pot near its termina tion. The sublimates which have appeared, how ever, on the smoke-holes have been chlorure of clipper and of lead, while the absence of chlonire of iron has been noted as remarkable, although on the ton of the cone it has been found united with 'oligisto' iron., The concourse of visitors is greater than ever." - THEATRES, Eto: Tun Cur.ersur.'—The White Fawn continues to draw large audiences at the Chestnut; and there seems tab° a fair probability that it will have a long and successful run.
