It was just after sunrise; and the Capitol Dome, catching the eastern light, hung golden in the air, filling a great part of heaven. As we rapidly moved westward, it receded like a sinking sun, its rail of shining pillars burying itself inch by iuch in the foliage of Capitol Hill. The broad, deserted vista of l'enn sylvania avenue opened imposingly, the houses-which-bordered it, in amusing dispro portion to its width,looking more like fences than buildings. Willard's, and the life there, struck me with a very pleasant and novel air—l : mean no of fence if I tall it an air of provinciality._ Man ners and traits that I supposed existed now only in the pages of Dickens, I found in ful flourish within its precincts; I fancied myself at the very hotel where Martin Chuzzlewit disembarked, When I spied, sitting behind the office-counter, a long-haired, hatted gentleman softly oscillating in a rocking-chair, Whittling (his own nails) and spitting right and left with regular impartiality. As for the spittoons, they have undoubt edly grown, since Dicken's first visit. The careful mother now, exploring with her child the classic precincts of thagapitol or the President's mansion, keeps fast hold of tine little one's hand, lest he should fall in and drown in one of these receptacles, more like lustral urns than spittoons.

LECTURE ON Lionr.--The Franklin Insti tute, we arc glad to see, is continuing thegootl work which it, began many years ago by ar lunging for another of those popular and en tertaining scientific lectures, at the Academy of Music, whichhave already done so much to interest our citizens and to develop it taste for such beneficial and elevating stuthes. The subject of ' the next lecture, which is to be delivered by Prof. Morton, is "Vislon,? and though this title may not convey to the render a very interesting. prospect of bril liant illustration, yet a glance at the synopsis mill re-assure him. We there 'See that the subject will be so treated as to introduce aseries of illustrations such as, has never befOre been developed, even in the former interesting and brilliant displays with which we have been before delighted on similar= occasions. Thus the optical or tense-like conditions of the.eye having been explained, one of the anions conditions that flow from this, namely: the actual inversion of the linage 'on the retina, will be illustrated by throwing on the screen the inverted image of an aquarium full of fish, &c., which will be so magnified as to appear like marine monsters, whales, crocodiles, sea-: serpents and other creatures, from thirty to, fifty feet in length. The method in which we judge of size and distance wi l be illustrated by the phantasma goria, in which, for example, the stage being apparently occupied by an-immense tunnel, a locomotive will start from the further end and rush forward-Until,'when about to fall into the orchestra, it will vanish away, while the tun : - nel instantly changes into an ocean grotta. Many other similar transformations will be here introduced. Then, in connection with the same subject, will be introduced- some mast amusing shadow, pantomimes, for a de scription of which we must refer to the synopsis, which has been generally dis tributed. The subject of persistence of 'NiSiO4 Will be illustrated by many brilliant ex - periments With illuminated electric tubes, and a new form of the thaumatrope. And lastly, the very curious phenomena of subjective colors will be shoviri. and explained. This lecture,.a.4 we haVe Said, promises to surpass all .its predeeeliers in beauty and interest, and we are not surprised to learn that the demand for seats is- already very active.

In answer to Minister Washburne the Em peror replied that he was glad to welcome Mr. Washburne as the representative of the Ameri can people. He was also pleased to have as surances of the continued friendship of the Government of the United States, the close sympathy and amicable feeling of which coun try existed uninterrupted for nearly 100 years, and concurred in the hope of its continuance. The Emperor concluded by extendinr , a happy welcome to a minister so near court who so distinguished himself in the history of his own country. General John A. Dix, late American Min ister to France, bade farewell to the Emperor to-day. The elections to-day are passing off in a very orderly manner. The number of votes cast is very large.

ENFANT Pget7l Yacht Club Race— First, as to what Mr. Sumner menus, and in wiat spirit he spoke. 1 find in his speech nothing . new nothing in principle which was not already in his great speech of Sept. 10, leil. on Our Foreign Relations." Or ;the two speechesdhat was the more excited and exciting. ;Ile ev Meta lywas still apprehending, that we might enter war egainst the North voluntarily, besides the danger of I lie:pirate tiblpm rendering war between us inevitable. I then justificd . .6l r. Stunner's tone, as well ;as his argil intents, OH 111 the interest of peace. Cicero, in reproving,,, the v. iolfild language of Roman tribunes; • says that, efter • all, • it must be confessed, it tended to mike the national struggles kegs dangerous; for when the people found that their official protector would.. speak up tor them, they -felt that they need not take matters info theirown hands. So;lhe evils. which the United • States; were suffering from England being felt in wenn& and blood, and death tint eiiehniem, no dissimulation on the part of 'American statesmen could domnything but exasperate; and it terideito soothe them, !when men like Charles Butuner showed to England her . injurious conduct and her.l bold this to .nearly true now, but: less intensely.; I regret that it ' has been torced on. Mr. Sumner •to •reptat, somewhat less :Avidly; • Minebitter complaints: But I cannot see ; in his speech' any menace of war, direct or inditect,"or anything to denote that he doea not idok on the thought as horrible, and as an utterly absurd remedy . for,tlia past. In the close, he says; "I • know it is some *nee said that war between •us must come sooner or later. - I do not believe it: - But if (you say) it mutt come, let it be later; and then I am . sure it will never come. Meanwhile, good men must unite to make it impossible.'? I am told that au English newapaper,which was strongly With President Lincoln during the war, comments - on this, to the effect—" Well, then, if we find that war mutt be; let it beat once, and let us have done with it." . Mr. Sumner discerns that the. treaty patched. up so hastilys by M. Reverdy Johnson Would make, exaspera tion, chronic and intractable; for it would stop the mouths of ~ A inerican diplouuttists against further de mand or complaint and it would not give redress for any wrong but the steeest part of what was endured. There fore, it would leaves a permanent sore in the public, a permanent topic for agitators who have not the respon sibilities Of statesmen. , That the treaty has heed rejected in the Senate by 64 to 1, ought to show Englishmen how entirely Mr. R. Johnson :has failed to represent the national feeling; and every fact connected with his con di:Kt hereshows that he represented the South, not the North. Be was very candid; it was our fault if we did not understand his tendencies. Mr. Sumner (motes testi mony that the Confederate loan went up from zero to 10 as soon as it was ascertained that the treaty was signed, it being believed that its words will cover the demands of those British subjects who have suffered loss by lend ing to Mr. Jefferson Davis. It does not semi to show in us much coolness of judgment to treat as a menace of war the decisive rejection of a treaty thus procured by a President, and Secretary, and Embassador, whose in terests and sentiments are not those of the North, which suffered from our fostering of Its malignant enemy—the enemy ofjnstice, freedom and civilization. • A LETTER FROM MR. LINDSAY. The London htor, of May 11, publishes "a letter from the the well-known rebel sympa thizer W. J. Lindsay, who in the „House-of Commons moved the recognition 'of the South ern Confederacy. - His object is to- show- that the Ministry and Ministerial party - had no synipathywith his motion. He says with re, gard to this point: I can moist cimscientionsly state that so far as - regards my "offensive'• acts, the Government was no party to them. On the contrary,w hen my motion appeared, I was' urged by various members of the administration to with draw it. in use its appearance on the paper of the Rouse nAfght give offence to the North or influence the South to prolong the war, - under the impression that England was about to recognize their independence: • Nor did I receive the slightest encouragement from any of the leading members of . the Opposition; and I'-am con vinced that, had I submitted my motion for the consider ation of the Connuoms. I should not have secured, the votes of:A out of its 651 members, nor perhaps half that number. Therefuri,s I took no action upon tt. canutit suppose that any other independent •member would Inive had any better success, for when Me. Roebuck afterward *submitted a similar motion it was received with so little luso. ; that he did' .not attempt a on all sides. and epeciaily on the part' of the 'Government; • there': 'was a " determination not to interfete between 'Ake. contending parties, or fake any hteps likely to offend,either of the beffigetents; In the face of such - Meta, as thse Mr. Stunner is: surely net justified in charging this countryrwith - hostile' feel ingirtoward the United States'.• 'Ube i', what will Spain say to the adoption by.

' • - , THE PACIFIC RAILICOAD.- What the English Pmms Think of It. The 'London Times of the 11th has the folltiw ing comment: • • - if we inquire into the probable results of this achieve ment we - shall be led into many curious speculations. The effects, indeed. will be felt throughout the whole Union: California, as our readers know, is a State of exceptional character and importance. It is the gold bearing State—the country which supplies the Americans with the precious metal. General Gran t,in his inaugural Speech, ~ referred: to it as the national "strong boxß— the , safe in which those treasures were hoarded which would one day enable the UlllOll to pay off its publicdebt—and he spoke of the opening. of this Pacific Railway as an event tending to accelerate the consuming.-- t ion in view. Then it cannot be doubted that the Pacific States will receive an impulse from the new line and be rapidly developed in political as well as commercial im portauce—All_the_tcrritory, too, now traversed, will be brought more within the reach and tinder the do minion of man, now settlements will be facilitated and new States more quickly formed. At the same time the Indians will be more severely pushed, and the Mormons will be brought into a contact with their fellow-citizens which may not imrsissibly end in a collision. %Probably nothing but the remoteness and isolation of their settlements has hitherto preservedttresi and their institutions from interference, and now tint isolation is lost. In whatever light, however, we choose. to regard the work, we .must recognize it not only as a monument of national enterprise, but as a proof of public wisdom. All that the government has spent In subventions was well bestowed. it was worth nutty a vote of money and • many a grant of land to con nect by an easy internal communication - the two great sections of the republic, and to bring territories as large as those of all the settled States together within reach of the government and the people. If the present year should also witness the completion of the Suez Ca nal it will indeed be a singular coincidence, but even the cutting of the Isthmus is a less wonderful exploit than this Pacific Railroad. M. de Lessens will, deserve infi nite credit for his Perseverance and success; • but the American engineers who bridged with iron rails a desert as broad as the Atlantic at the rate of six miles a day may certainly advance their own claims to the surprise and admiratiohlof mankind. THE EPRLSLNG AGAINST THE SPAN IARDS IN PORTO RICO. Ineendiarisnt and Assassination Ham erp pant—The S ariards to he Swept from the Isla A corr ondent writing to the New York ;iztn from t e Island of Porto Rico speaks as follows of the rebellion just begun: MUTTERING OF THE COMLNG STORM. It will not be long before the ReYolution, already inaugurated, will have assumed more formidable dimensions. We have among us many Cuban emissaries, who are busily arrang ing flie necessary prelimituiries for the grand coup d'itat, which is momentarily expected. Our young men, the jeuseme doree, are no longer seen as before, frequenting nightly the cafes and billiard rooms; if inquired for, you are an swered that they have gone to their own or the plantations of their friends. Their movements are less likely to be observed in the secret re cesses:of the mountains than in a thickly peo pled' city. The authorities have their hands full in watching the large towns, and cannot spare troops for the interior. The wealthy families are all leaving the island. _ THE PATRIOTS WELL 01MAXIZED-ARDIS EX- MIES In all the principal towns,namely, the Capi tal, Ponce, Mayaguez, Arroyo, Aguadella and St. German, the organization is complete, and all that is wanting or the outbreak to coin woke is the arrival of a vessel from the , United States, laden with arms' and ammuni tion. She is expected to land on the coast of Guanica. The plans of the revolutionists are so well designed, and their precautions so com-, plete that-when the words "Forward, march!-' are uttered,-at that hour and minute ,the.upris,., lug will be universal throughout the' island and there can be no doubt that the battle Will' be ';sharp, short and decisive:" - nnA.VI3ItY -OF TILE PORTO RICANS.

The Washington correspondent of the Bos ton Advertiser says : "The State Department has received two despatches from Mr.lleverdv Johnson in re gard to the course which the English Govern ment intends to .pursue regarding Fenian prisoners. It will be remembered that the Case of William G. Halpine and others was Aubmitted to President Grant through Judge Carter, of Cincinnati, acting in behalf of a mass-meeting held in that city. The President at once sent despatches to Mr. John son and directed him to try and secure the re lease of the prisoners. Mr. Johnson immedi ately laid the matter before the English govern- ment, and after considerable delay received in reply a communication containing a list of about twenty prisoners whom the government did not propose to release under any circum stances. Among these were Halpine, Cafferty, Shaw and Burke. Subsequently Mr. Johnson made a second attempt and received second answer reiterating the determi nation of the English government to make no more release of Fenian prisoners. In closing his despatch to Mr. Fish conveying this last inforniation, Mr. Johnson expressed the hope that this action would he reversed at no dis tant day, and a part of the prisoners at least would be released. For the present, however, the State Departmentsees no ground to expect that any of the Fenian prisoners, whose cases have been under consideration, will be set= at literty." FROM NEW YORK.
