ENGLAND.
Reply of the London Times to Mr. Roia!:,
We publish upon an inside page to-day a letter ;
from 'Mt. Roebuck to the London Times. The
following is the Timea's reply: 1. .
"We aro glad to see that Mr. Roebuck is
sufficiently conscious of the extraordinary cha
racier of his remarks at Sheffield to think it
necessary to defedd them; but it would have been
more satisfactory if ho had frankly , expressed
regret for them. We are accustomed to make
allowance for the vehemence of his la and
look through his exAggerations to his intentions;
but rudeness to a guest is an offence which no
intentions can excuse; and when the dis
courtesy wad offered in public to a public
guest, it became our .duty, on the part of the
public, to disclaim and rebuke it. In Mr. Roe
buck's letter this morning we cannot discern any ,
valid justification of his speech. On the contrary,
his first plea may well be considered to bring the
offence into stronger light. Mr. Reverdy
Josenlte tells tis,did not take the observations
in question as an Insult. On the contrary, he
has eXpressed himself in the most handsome
terms in acknowledgment of his reception at
Sheffield. and of Mr. Roebuck's personal exer
tions on his behalf. In other words, Mr. &wady
Johnson is too generous to take offence, and Mr.
Roebuck interprets this generosity as a justifiers
tion of his having taken advantage of it by an-,
ticipation. It Is , bad enough , to be rude to a
friend; it is worst of all to presume on his good
nature In venturing on your rudeness, and it is
only a depot worse to plead his good nature in
excuse after the offence. Mr. Roebuck does not
seem to remember the proverb about returning
good for evil, and so heaping coals of fire on
your enemy's head; and ills evident that the pro
cess produces no effect on Kr. Roebuck. The
forbearance of Mr. Johnson deserves a cordial
acknowledgment; but to quote it in disproof of
any offence having been offered him is equally
ungenerous and illogical * *
After all. Mr. Roebuck's plea that Mr. Johnson
was not sensible of any disrespect having been
offered to the 'United States is sufficiently refuted
by the tact that he thoturht it necessary thus to
vindicate his country. Even supposing there had
been any truth in Mr. Roebuck s observations, it
would still have been the height of bad taste to
make them in Mr. Johnson's presence on such an
occasion. Mr. Roebuck prides himself on speaking
the truth; but there is, at least, a time for every
thing, and there are occa.sions .when the sort of
character Mr. Roebuck emulates is painfully inop
po: tune. It is possible that Mr. Reverdy Johnson
may be happy to listen private to the oracular
utterances which Mr. Roebuck thinks !M . AI ible;
but in a public reception of as American Repre
sentative, when the object of all was to cultivate
good will, it amounted to nothing less than an
injury to both countries for a man in Mr. Roe
_buck_a position-to use-language--cif-such—veke--
rnent disparagement. We - only hope Mr. Bever
dy Johnson will not fail to take notice that the
Jesuit has been repudiated by Engli sh public
opinion with equal vehemence and with perfect
unanimity. He may form soma measure, of the
honor , in
unanimity...:
we hold, his cotintry by the,
prompt recoil from Mr. Roebuck's words which
he everywhere witnesses."

or the queen.
LONDON, Sept. 20, 1868.—Telegrams to hand in
this city from Madrid, dated in the Spanish capi
tal yesterday evening, the 10th knit., convey the
highly Important Intelligence that the. Queen's
Admiral, wholemang the naval force oft
Cadiz, with th of the men serving under
his orders, has revolted against Isabella's govern
ment—the result of a political revolutionary agi
taticn which has been silently but actively pro
gressing among the royal sailors since the period
of the bantihment of the military generals and
the exile of the Duke`and Duchess de Montpen
der.
The generals so lately sentenced to banish
ment have- returned from, as they allege, the
places assigned to them under the royal warrant:
General 'Cabala from Lugo, Marshal. Serrano
from the Canary Isles, with his nephew. M. Lo
pez Dominguez, commandant of artillery and
formerly deputy in the Cortez ; General Cabal
lero de Rods, arrested at Zamora, from the Ba-,
tearie Isles; General Cordova- from-- Bareelonnot
Flgueras, and General Etchagae from the direc
tion of Pampeluna,Gen. Ras de Giants from Deva,
COTTIIIO from Estella in Navarre, Ustarla from
Teruel. kiesina from Ateca, and'Alaminos -from
Ronda. Marshal de la Torre headed the move
ment, sad the leading men of the old O'Donnel
list party sustain it. Several towns have joined
in the insurrection, and the most intense panic
prevailed at the Court in Madrid. Troops were
despatched with all haste to the South; General
Concha having been commissioned to command
the loyalist forces. , Futile attention is recalled
by these startling_eventalcithe protest issued by
the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier from
Liabon;after their sixtic - in -- the month of August,
in which they said :
But if we were to consider it opportune to
-tiefend ourselves - against—lmputations—hidden
under transparent allusions. when we are re
minded of the duties of loyalty whichAt is unne
cessary to recall to your Majesty; if unhappy
Spain is now passing through a difficult situation
—which we deplore with all our hearts—we are
not the generating cause. The origin of the
lamentable agitations which serve as a pretext to
condemn us, if it exists at all, must be sought
elsewhere. Whenever the, nation is agitated
it is because it is tormented by seri
ova uneasiness, for there are neither In
dividualities nor names powerful enough.
I to serve as standards and to drag a nation
after them. We protest energetically against
this manifest violation of the fundamental law
of the State and also of the eternal principles of
Justice, in the steps that have been taken by
your Majesty's government, and for this pur
poee we do not invoke either the considerations
of our rank or of family ties. * * * The
country la agitated, the revolutionlate avail them
eelvea of your name as of a standard and, take it
as the object of their machinations. Such'are
the just considerations upon which is based your
extra-legal proceeding,- a step derogatory to our
position, of which you have , intentionally
made mention to abuse us the snore.

The French Occupatloia of itome.
Bays the Paris correspondent of the H. Y.
Times: The cable will have - transmitted to you
before this a statement forwarded from Rome
through the Correspondence Havas to the effect
that the Pontifical Government has received the
assurance that the Fres& brigade will not be re
called so long as the advancedparty in Italy has
any chance of returning to power. Bo far is this
from being the fact that considerable progress
has been - made in the negotiations be
tween the Frenth and Italian Govern
ments for the total recall of :ttin. French
troops. The, Emperor is eagerly desirous to, put
an end to the embarrassments arising from the
occupation, and as the Government of, Italy is ,
equally anxious to terminate a state , of
things which is a atanding humiliation
for it, there la no ,reason why an arrangement
should not be'arrived at which will reconcile the
difficulties hitherto existing. The replacement
of M. de Bartiges by Id. de Bonneville is in
itself evidence that important modifications are
pending in the relations between the French and
Pontifical Governments. It certainly cannot be
merely to vary the form of the occupation that a
Minister is removed who Is 'known to be an
especial favorite with the Holy Father, and re
placed by a diplomatist whose opinions and an
tecedents are not likely to prove so agreeable
to him. There is another fact which would go
to confirm the belief that the occupation is
about to reach its term. The Pope,
yielding to the remonstrances of France, has at
last entered upon a policy of retrenchment,
commencing it by reducing the departments of
the government to two, those of the Ministries of
Foreign Affair* and of the Interior. If these be
followed by the other political refortins urged by
the Emperor, all pretext for the further reten
tion of French troops in Rome would
at once disappear. But in any case,' as
that city , is now well fortified 'against any at
tack by the revolutionary party, and thti Govern
ment of Victor; Emmanuel appear to be willing
to accept a modus stoma& which, will guarantee
the Roman territory against any act of aggr on
on its part, France , would be safe in withdrawing
its troops. Certainly, nothing would conduce
more to-neutralize the efforta of Garibaldi and-the '-
Red Republicans, •or to promote the generalint_
teresta of peace. • ,

G eneral Butler on the Election.
A reporter of the N. Y. Merald had a "talk"
with General Butler on Saturday, and extracted
from him the following opinion of the results of
the election
Reporter—What is your opinion, General, of
the prospects of the election?
General Butler—Oh, Grant and Colfax are eer-
Lain to be elected. There is no doubt about
that. They will carry all the States that Lincoln
carried in 1864, eXcept perhaps New York, and
the Democrattenotaln - atieria — Were - made with a
view to just such a result. 1 know
your New York politicians very thor
oughly, and I regard the whole trick of Sey
mour's , - nomination - att - designed - tniply to se
cure the State of New York. That is more im
portant to them than the Presidency, and they
would rather see Seymour beaten than not, pro
vided that his name aids them to win the election
in this State. They know that the whale Re
publican party is bitterly opposed to Seymour,
and they:would willingly trade him off in order
to carry in their State ticket. The electoral
ticket-lher'eartxtothbeor, - - - exenpFitait - may
afford them capital to_ trade off for_votea _for
their State candidates. Indeed, your New
York leaders would not on any account see Bey- -
mour elected. They are after the State and looal
Spoils, and would not desire the - dection of any
Democratic President unless they could use him
as they pleased. Yon have some twenty-five
tninions of local taxation here, and the handling
of that and the State patronage is worth more to
your Democratic leaders than, all the federal
patronage they could secure.
Reporterts--You think, thcn,that Seymour has
no chance of an election?
Geveral Batler—Oh, not the ilightest; and it is
very ;veil for him that he has not. If it were pos
sible that he could be elected he would no; be
ninety days in office. The knife, the ballet or
poison would remove him and make room for
Blair. Assassination has been introduced by the
rebels Into our political system, and they will
never hesitate now to avail themseiveb of it when
their-interests-are atetake.- Their first-experi
ment in that line has been. toe great a - success.
With them the ties of blood, affection
or loyalty will, no longer avail to prevent
the friends of the second in power from remov
ing the first oat of the way when the opportu
nity offers. Nothing but interest will stay the
assassin's hand. I should have fallen a victim in
New Orleans but for one thing—if they had mur
dered me they would have had Phelps over them,
and that would have been jumping out of the fry
ing pan into the fire. You may rest assured that
\ if! had been elected Vice President la ' 1864, in
'place of Andrew Johnson '
Abrahma Lincoln
would have been a living manto-day.

The musicians In this city are clearing their
throats, tuning their fiddles, tooting their horns,
lingering their pianos, drilling their harmonic
squads and selecting and practising their music
for the coining winter season. The campaign
promises to be lively, interesting and unusually
prolific of gclod things; in vocal and instrtunentai
music. It is our fortune to have in this, the moat
musical city on the continent, a large coterie of
accomplished artists, who aim high, and , who
while they endeavor to cater successfully.to pub:
lie taste, strive in the spirit of genuine enthusi
asts to advance the interests of > their art, and at
the same time to raise the standard of popular
appreeistion,by preaenting only high class music,
the work cite masters. , Last winter we
had in this city a greater number of- serial musi
cal perfonnanses, and more single entertainments
given by wandering minstrels: than anyother city
hobo United States. At most of these, nothing
but what may fairly be called chaisiesdr music,
was presented. Some of the artists loot' money,
but many of them succeeded very fairly peen
niarilv. The fact that so many of them suc
ceeded at all,—so well indeed that they, have de
termined to try it again, speaks weilfor the good ,
taste and the high culture of our citizens. It is
to be hoped that liberal and generous support
will be extended to every one of these gentlemen
during the coming season. We owe it to them
to sustain them in their efforts to minister to our
highest sense ofenjoyment; we owe, It to , our
selves to encourage them in their attempt to po
pularize a science whose immediate eitect upon
a community is in the largest intellectual and
moral sense beneficial.
Ve give below a summary of the arrangements
that have thus far been made for the winter sea
son on the ppart of a few of our leading artists and
musical societies. The list excludes several well
known musicians and more than one association,
but this is attributable simply to, the fact that
iiiese have not yet determined upon their precise
line ofaction.

respectable societies, will torch'• Offenbach'e

"Itis - a work which -Is -as unique in forth- and
conception as it is transcendent in -Musical
beauty and masterly execution—the special; title
and character of which.were merely .viewed by
the, composer as , the vehicle for effects of strong
contrast in musical thought; the absence of all
sectarian feeling havieg been , sufficiently proved,
by his withdrawing the work from its Wended
public performance on account of the dissentions
which arose between the Catholics and Protestants
of Saxony at the period of its completion. .
:Mr. Bentz, it will- be seen, begins extremely
well, and he will fulfil the high promise of this
programme, by giving in the succeeding series of
thirty concerts, such works as Schubert's "Un
fir.ished Symphony," Beethoven's "Battle of Vit
toria," Symphony, and his first and eighth Sym
phonies also; Wagner ' s "Flying Dutchman" over
ture; a number of Haydn's and Mozart's Sym
phonies; and several, new overtures of great
merit. Dtulag the course he will present very
many productions recently imported and never
before given in this country. We may. state also
that, Mr. Sentz's orchestra will be much larger
than it was last year, and will contain the most
accomplished performers in the profession. The
subscription price for this splendid series is so ,
low ($5) that every person who loves good music
should attend the concerts.
X& CARL WOLFSOHN
is also preparing to enter the field, and to do, if
possible, better things with other composers than
he did last season with Beethoven. He will give
a series of six matinees at which musical perfor
mances of unusual excellence will be presented.
Mr. Wolfsohn , who, is in himself a whole orches
tra and two or three small musicians over, will be
assisted by artists of the highest class. Among
these we may mention aYrench vlolinist,Rdonard
Coionne, who, we are assured, has great ability,
and a violoncellist named Hennig, also a player of
unusual brilliancy—ohn has not yet
prepared his programmes, but he will make
them np largely from the : works
of the masters, Beethoven Schubert,
Shuman, Chopin, Mendelsohn am! others. He
intends, however, that a leading feature shall be
the Introduction_ of selections from what he is
pleased to call "the new romantic school," in
which be includes the works of Rubenstein. Ruff,
Barceizy, and a few others. There can be no
doubt that these matinees will be very charming,
and well Worthy the attention of the public.
The details will be presented about the first of
next month. It was hoped_ that Mr. WolfsOhn_
would appear dnringthe winter in conjunction
with Mr. Chas. Jarvis; but the-latter gentleman,
if he has determined to do anything, has not
seen fit to declare hitt intentions yet.
also, are holding back for the present. Mr. A.
Barili will probably give some concerts—matinee
or soiree—during the winter, but ho has only
the virtuous intention now, without any definite
design. Mr. Mark Hassler is in a like condition
of vague uncertainty. That he will appear in
concert is, we believe, decided upon,but when or
how, or where,hedoesnot know. Mr. Jean Louis
will not venture upon any individual enterprises
in public. His whole attention will be absorbed
by the duties of his profession, of his leader
ship, (of which more anon), and of his choir. It
is his ambition just at present to form a "church
choir as a , model for Philadelphia," and he has
selected the church at Eighteenth and Arch
streets as the place in which to perfect this very
laudable enterprise, and win the champion's belt.
All the world - can - attend_to ascertain the remelt
gratuitously, with the advantage of hearing a
firsbrate sermon into the bargain. Inciden
tally, we may mention; that among foreign ar
tists, we may count upon a visit this winter from
Ole Bull, and very likely, also, we may have•an
opportunity to hear the , famous pianist AUda
Topp, whose performances are said to be little
short of marvellous..
So much for , individual undertakings. Later
in the season we shall be able to swell the list and
give more details. For obvioae reasons we have

we have but a few words to say: Everything is

are very sorry to say, has announced his deter
ruination to abandon professional playing and
directing. Ho will of couree,withdraw from the
Germania, and his loss, we fear, will be more
keenly felt because' it v.lll be very difficult to re
place him with a competent person. Until this
matter is settled,no conclusion can be reached as
to the character of the public performances dur

cidedly in favor of continuing, those orchestral
matinees which have proved so popular in past
seasons. This we think will be done, as the pub

OBITUARY.
Mount, the Artist.
The death is announced of H. 8. Shepherd
Meant, who deceased at his residence in Smith
town, Long Island, and will be buried to-day.
The funeral will be followed by, a number of
members of the National Academy of Design.
Shepherd Mount, and his still better-known
brother William S. Mount, were sons of a thrifty
farmer of Sautucket, L 1., and commenced life
as sign-painters, but were soon led by a spirit of
emulation into the walks of bun art. Their line
was humoristic, and of one of them (their career
is so entangled that It is difficult to adjust the
reminiscence properly) a droll and harmless an
ecdote is told in connection with thu painter o'
allegories, Thomas Cole.
It was at a monthly men tine of the National
Academy, and Cole, whose well known series
called the "Voyage of Life" was already celebra
ted, attended, as well as Mount. The
artists, according to custom, were exercising
themselves by sketching from a given subject,
which, on this occasion was worded "Just in
Lime." Each artist attempted to display his
fancy: one represented a seedy poor relation
arriving as a magnificent dinner was being Set
out; another, asboy fly tae over a fence to avoid
a bull; and so on But Mount's carried off the
prize, irreverent as it was. He took the figure
frcina Cole's last picture in the "Voyage of Life*
—the helpless graybeard who drifts into the ocean
of eternity on the wreck of his sbattered bark.
Mount, with his irresistible propensity for
rnor, bad sketched the old man lifted from the
wreck by his coat collar, by the band of a goad
natured seraph, while the dt vil stretched his
claws from below, vainly, trying to capture the
mortal delivered "just in time" by the heavenly
messenger. Meantime, says the narrator, "I
was anxious to see what Mount was at, for he
looked. very mischievous. I shall, never forget
Cole's sad look as Mount's drawing was placed
upon the t.ble for examination, for Cole was a
man of great religions sensibility. The illustra
tion was irresistible, but it made us all feel sad
- to see ColetakethirjOke - itlseileMaly - r - - ----
We do not pretend to say whether this anecdote
pertains to the Mount just deceased or to his
jovial brother; but the mention of the name
brought it's° freshly, albeit malapropas,to mied,
that we could not resist taking it down. Poor
Mount! His flashes of merriment will no longer
set the table on a roar. Oar last, best wish for
the dead humorist is that he may have formed the
living illustration of that very jest, and that some
how, by book or by crook, gracefully or awk
wardly, that genial soul may have been 'bundled
tip by some shilling immortal into the 'tat bay
en,—''just in time."
