Flowers And Music At The Crystal Palace....
and sparkled in the air , producing never-ending , quaint resemblances . " The whole scene is , indeed , almost literally described in Pope ' s charming , but not very successful , imitation of Cowley : — " Here lilies smile in virgin robes of white , In thin undress of superficial light , And varied tulips show so dazzling gay , Blushing in bright diversities of day : Here aged trees cathedral walks compose , And mount the hill in venerable rows : There in bright drops the crystal fountains play , By laurels shaded from the piercing day , Where summer ' s beauty 'midst of winter stays , And winter ' s coolness spite of summer ' s rays . "
On Monday , a concert was given at the Palace , at which Madlle . Alboni was to have sung , but was prevented by illness . The performers , however , included Mesdames Jenny Baur , Amedei , and ITiorentini ; Messrs . Formes , Lorenzo , Charles Halle , Ernst , Bottesini , and Salvi .

The Lord-Lieutenant Of Ireland Upon Tena...
THE LORD-LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND UPON TENANT-RIGHT . A deputation from the corporation of Dublin waited on the Lord-Lieutenant last Friday to endeavour to elicit his Excellency ' s opinion upon the subject of tenant-right . In the address which ^ tvas read , the deputation thus set forth their ideas with respect to the desired reform : — " "We ask , in the name of the tenantry of Ireland , no legislation that will fail to secure to the owner of the soil all his just and legitimate rights . What we do ask is a
legal guarantee that the industrious occupier of the soil , who may have improved his holding , shall have that full protection for , and perfect enjoyment of , the fruits of his own labour and capital , -which constitute the basis on which the security of property in these kingdoms rests ; and we would urge upon your Excellency that this legal protection for the property of the occupier is no less essential for the due encouragement and promotion of agricultural enterprise in this kingdom than it is for the peace of the country -and the contentment and prosperity of all classes of Her Majesty ' s subjects . "
To this , the Lord Lieutenaut read the following reply : — " My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen , —I must always feel indebted to the Lord Mayor , aldermen , and burgesses of Dublin for imparting to me their views upon any topic of adequate contemporary importance . Such a character necessarily attaches to any attempt to regulate or improve the relations between the owners and cultivators of the soil . I shall not fail to transmit for the
consideration and encouragement of Her Majesty ' s Government the views which you have now expressed . I find with pleasure that they have manifested their sense of the benefit to be expected from an early settlement of the question , by their having taken charge of the bill already introduced into Parliament ; and I cordially concur in the hope that it may be so framed and acted upon as to secure to the owners of land their legitimate right , and to the occupiers the fair enjoyment of the fruit of their industry . "
Upon the Lord Mayor expressing a hope that Dr . Gray , the mover of the address , would be satisfied with his Excellency ' s reply , Dr . Gray said that lie was satisfied so far as the assurances of the Lord-Lieutenant were concerned , but that he was apprehensive that the amendments suggested by Mr . Horsman might be adopted by Government and carried—a result which would not be in accordance with his Excellency ' s observations . He suggested that perhaps the Lord-Lieutenant would make to the Government certain representations founded on his experience of the country , and on the fact of the commercial deputation which he had that , day received . The clauses proposed by Mr . Horsman would have the effect of confiscating the property of the tenant .
The Lord-Lieutenant declined to enter into details , but he trusted that the general principles to which he had referred would be carried out to the satisfaction of all parties . After some further discourse the deputation retired .
America. Tne National Intelligencer (U. ...
AMERICA . TnE National Intelligencer ( U . S . journal ) has published a long letter from Horatio Ferry , Secretary of Legation at Madrid , vindicating himself from the charges brought against him by Mr . SoulJ , and accusing him of misbehaviour . Accounts from Upper Missouri represent the Sioux Indians as very hostile , and assembling for war against the whites . Colonel Steptoe has failed in bringing to punishment the Indian murderers of Captain Gunnison and his companion ? , owing to the duplicity of tho Mormons , who persuade tho redmon that they ( tho Mormons ) are a . distinct people from tho Americans . Tho Cnliforoian Legislature has discussed tho question of dividing California into three distinct states , to bo called California , Colorado , and Shaston ; and it is
thought that if this design be accomplished , slavery will not be introduced . From Guyana vre learn that the sugar crop is likely to fall very short this season , owing to the great injury done to the canes by drought . There was a fair supply of provisions , a large stock of sugar , and a heavy lumber market . A portion of the troops in St . John ' s had revolted , and , after causing a scene of terror for a night , laid down their arms on obtaining a curtailment of their term Of enlistment . A New Orleans report speaks
of a revolution having broken out in Rio Grande , Mexico . Havannah advices up to the 15 th ult . represent the island of Cuba as tranquil , and mention the probability of the blockade of the ports being soon raised . A jealous feeling is rising between the states of Venezuela and New Grenada , and a war is thought probable . The former state accuses the latter of encroaching upon its territory . Some of the provinces of Costa Rica were being devastated by locusts ; but flocks of sparrowhawks were preying upon and annihilating them .
As a specimen of the kind of "license" which some Americans " mean when they cry liberty , " we append the ensuing paragraph from the New York Daily Times , where it appears under the head of " Arkansas Difficulties . "" George S . Park , late of the Parksville Ltiminary , publishes a long letter in the St . Louis Democrat , in which he says that Stringfellow and Atchison have organised a secret association which are sworn to turn out and fight when called upon to do so , and which is to be governed by the following rules : —All belonging to
it are to share in the damages accruing to any member when proscribed , even at the price of disunion . All are to act secretly to destroy the business and character of Northern men ; and all dissenting from their doctrines are to be expelled from the territory . Western Missouri is to be held in constant terror . All the Whig and Benton presses are to be destroyed . The destruction of the hotel in Kansas city , with the presses at Lawrence , is decreed , and cannon is to be taken there to demolish them . The onslaught is not to stop until every Freesoiler is driven out of Missouri and Kansas . "
The commercial advices from New York represent trade as having become a little more active . Money was easily obtainable .
The Carlist Insurrection In Spain. The S...
THE CARLIST INSURRECTION IN SPAIN . The Spanish correspondent of the Times , under date of May 28 , g ives the following particulars of the Carlist rising : — " It is said that the Carlists have got possession of Alcaniz , a fortified place in Eastern Aragon , hard by the river Guadaloiipe . Letters from Vittoria announce , on the strength of a telegraphic despatch from Saragossa , the capture , in the mountains of Soria , of a sum of money which was being conveyed to the Carlists . A battalion of light infantry has marched hence to-day ( May 28 ) to Aragon . There are strong expectations of risings in the Maeztrazgo . The insurrection is evidently spreading . In the Basque Provinces , the Foral deputation insists on that district being exempted from
the desamortizacion , and holds rather threatening language to the Government in case of refusal . In Navarre , a meeting was to have been held for the same purpose , but the civil authorities prevented it . The Caspe faction has published a proclamation , ordering all former Carlist soldiers to take up arms , under pain of death . ' A number of Liberals had fled from the town unable to resist , because the National Guard of that place is not yet armed . " It must be recollected that the date of the above letter is oaTlier than those of the telegraphic despatches which we published last week . The Madrid Gazette , of tho 28 th , contains a circular addressed by the Government to tho bishops and clergy , ordering the former immediately to suspend all ecclesiastics who have
figured or who now figure in the Carlist camp . Twentyfour persons wore arrested on tho 2 Oth at Madrid for participation in the Carlist plot . The Gazette of the 27 th ult . contains a proclamation from tho Aleade of Madrid , exhorting tho inhabitants not to , bo misled by tho enemies of public repose . Tho Gazette also says that tho military authorities of Aragon wcro in pursuit of tho Carlist band in that province ; that twelve of the soldiers and a non-commissioned officer who had revolted at Saragossa had mado their submission ; and thut a Carlist chief mimed Kollo had been killed near tho Ebro , in Lower Aragon . The movement , which has everywhere tho support of the clergy , is , it in said , headed by the three brothers Joaquim , Mariano , and
Manuol Marco , whoso rich and powerful family liavo been long known for thoir Carlist HontimoritH . Joaquim and Manuol had sorved in tho army of ( jcnoral Cabrera . Tho Sonores Mnrco are tho nephews of tho lato Cardinal Marco , Auditor do la Rota , and Governor of Homo . Their hand has boon defeated ; and a telegraphic despatch of tho Hint ult . states that twenty-five of tho rejoin have boon seized ut Dioronsc and twenty-fivo otlpcira have mado thoir aubniisHion at Caspo . Yet Spain appears to bo far from tninqiiilU . sed 5 for wo road of a conspiracy having boon dln
one of Cabrera ' s old lieutenants , is concealed in the district of Lampourdan . Navarre and Biscay remain tranquil , but in other quarters new bands spring up directly the old ' ones are suppressed . Orders have been sent to the chiefs of columns in Aragon ( from which province it is said the insurgents are disappearing ) to shoot at OTiee all the sergeants , and to decimate the private soldiers , who have deserted to the Carlists . The Duke de Montpensier has repeatedly offered to take up arms against the rebels ; but the Government do not think the contest is sufficiently serious to induce them to accept his offer . They have deemed it necessary . however , to suspend the constitutional guarantees .
Continental Notes. Religious Persecution...
CONTINENTAL NOTES . Religious Persecution in Austhia . —John Evangelist Borzinsky , lately a brother of the Order of the Monks of Mercy , and belonging to a convent of that Order at Prague , is now , according to a letter in a German paper , imprisoned as a madman for having become a Lutheran Protestant . One of the concessions wrung from Imperial tyranny in 1848 , was the permission given to members of the Romish Church to embrace the Protestant faith if they saw fit ; but it appears that this amelioration of the former law is scandalously evaded , or rather defied , by the priests . The case of Borzinsk y is an illustration . Having been told that the priests are
in the habit of seizing and imprisoning any one whom they find to have apostatized , he went to Prussia , believing with some simplicity that the " crime" would be overlooked if committed out of the Austrian dominions . There he was received into the Lutheran Church ; and shortly afterwards returned to his own country . But one nig ht he was arrested by military and police agents , taken back to the convent , threatened , punished , and finally imprisoned with the insane in a dungeon adjoining the ; convent receptacle for filth . M . Von Bcthmann Holweg , the celebrated Prussian statesman , has laid these facts before the Protestant Alliance , and has premised to do all in his power to rescue Borzinsky from
captivity . A circular , addressed by Count Buol to the representatives of Austria at the " different German courts , and dated May 17 , has been published . It is an answer to that despatch of Count Nesselrude to M . do Uliiika , which intimates the Czar's intention of abiding by the first Two Points . Count Buol , having stated that the Diet determined upon receiving the Russian circular as a simple communication to each of its members privately , in consequence of which the matter has not led to any deliberation in the Diet , proceeds to express the . satisfaction felt by Austria at the resolution of tho Ct . mrt of St , Petersburg . The circular thus concludes : — " The four bases laid down for the negotiations of peace
constitute an indivisible icholWin the eyes of tin jioicers that take part in them ; the Germanic Cuiilederation have acknowledged them as being collectively of a nature to secure peace and the rights of Kurope ; mid it is only at the termination of the crises which the negotiations , opened with a view to conclude peace , arc now , to our regret , undergoing , that Austria will be enabled to declare openly and completely to her confederates what , in her opinion , the interests of Europe and ( . iermany may call for . We entertain the hope that the proposal ot the Court of Russia has only served to confirm the
members of the Germanic Confederation in their confidence in our policy . But for that very reason , we think we may rely upon their being averse to framing , upon the declarations of Russia , any reiplutions or propositions , the consequences of which might bo detrimental to Austria , or mig ht at least tend to increase tho numerous difficulties -which we have to encounter in our mission , at the decisive point at which matters now stand . In addition to the above , there has been published another despatch from Count Buol , which contains an assertion that Russia seeks to provoke a schism between tho German Governments . This document is also dated
May 17 , and addressed to tho sumo official personages as tho former . A letter from Berlin , published in the Times , contains tho following summary of an Austrian circular dated the 25 th ult : — " Although in this circular Austria promises to remain faithful to her engagements , to maintain the Four Points , to preserve an armed attitude until tho moment when negotiations may be resumed , and to make her last propositions , if accepted at Paris and London the object of an ultimatum to Kiihsiii , —although thin and other similar declarations are mado in this document , which will probably bo the , closing' act of tho Vienna negotiations , at least provisionally , it is equally certain that it betrays tho intention of Austria ,
should her propositions bo rejected , to assume an expectant line of p olicy . Any impartial reader <> l " > ° document will corao to thin conclusion . " A memoir * ( according to tho aH . scrtioii of tho ¦ /<"'<* Correspondent ) has boon drawn up at St . IVterslnirg , Hie first part of which document emanates from the clnmeory of Count Ne-HHolrodo , while other parts " are nttribuK " to a person of French origin , of considerable talent , »» of . small political probity .
