TEE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY , APRIL 12, 181 LETTER FROM LONDON.

Bptciai CorrtHpondtnct, nTh Running Telegraph. London, March 80, 1871. The event of the week In unquestionably tbe opening of the Royal Albert Hall f Arts and Sciences by the Queen In perron yesterday, In a bitter northeaster of our tine March kind. Wby the hall was ever built no one (except, perhaps, the' contractor) seem to know. Now that It Is areallzed fact, prodigious colisseum of red brick and terra cotta, looking for all the world like a Brolrtig nagtan (rame-ple, everybody Is trying to imagine n?es for it. The Cooper Institute in New York is dedicated "to art and science," but the Albert Hill clearly does not aim at being a Cooper Institute. Will "art " mean monster concerts and "sciences" experimental lectures? As it is important that the big place should pay its expenses, its mana gers will, I fancy, find it hard to keep to the loftiest class of eutertainmcnts only. Already we hear that the building is occasionally to be ntU;zed as a cattle show! The private owner ship of boxes is an original feature of the hall. To procure funds for building, boxes were sold out-and-out-at least for 99i years to private Individuals, the price of the best being 1000 apiece. The owners are now fitting up their ten ments each according to his fancy, and the question is already being raised whether each is not entitled to claim the electoral franchise in respect of his costly fragment of leasehold pro perty. The telegraph will no doubt have told you the dry 'acts of last week's royal wedding, so I will not say much about it. I was in the crowd of E on boys who dragged the carriage of our Princess Royal (now Imperial Princess of Ger many) np Windsor Hill on the marriage-day, and can safely say, in spite of the dowry agita tion, that no one of the royal weddings has been eo nationally popular as this of the Princess Louise, Marchioness of Lome (as her title is to be.) Many of us would have preferred its post ponement till after Easier, as tbe particular date could be of no particular moment, but we ehouldn't care to imitate the egregious unchanta bleness of a certain Scotch minister, who has come out with the suggestion of a service of mourning and humiliation by way of protest against Lenten nuptials. Hugh Suther land, tailor of Dundee, hit a much more practical and praWevoriby nail on the head, though his protest has a whimsical sound. To the sheriff of his county this doughty tailor ad dressed a formal document, in which, stating that '5t was averred" the corporation of Dundee meditated treating themselves and friend?, on the strength of the wedding, to "cake, wine, and a banquet," and that the cost of all this would come out of the borough rates, to which he as a ratepayer objected, he wound uji by re quiring the sheriff to see that the felonious cake, etc., be countermanded. In justice to our local authorities it should be said that, as a rule, they have learned bv this time that corporate funds are not meant to be incorporated (in a material sense) by their administrators. Parliament is hankering after gunboats, and envying you your legacy of tbem from the war. For years we have been laying down iron-clad llne-of-battle ships and frigates with a precau tionary eye to France. Now all danger from that quarter is past, at least pro tern., and the ineffective promenades of the French fleet last autumn have demon-trated tbe necessity of having lighter vessels, if you, reliable to waatto Work in shallow waters. "Fifty gunboats in Stanter !" cries one member;" "a huudred iu three years !" another; but Mr. Goschen, ex-clty merchaut, and now First Lord of the Admiralty, Wisely answers that gunboats there must and Bhall be as part of our naval stock-in-trade, but a few other articles as well. I have been breakfasting with Mundella this morning. He is very fair of the Importance of tbe resolution passed last week by the', Trades- Union Conference in London. And indeed its Importance can hardly be exaggerated. This conference.represeuting no less than 700,000 men members of the various trades uulons all over the country, has solemnly resolved that, for the future, recourt-e shall in no case or place be had to a strike, but that all disputes shall be referred, as toev arise, to joint delegi Uous of employers and employed, presided over by an umpire. I have already told you how happily this plan has ivr-u'Ud at Dail'mgton, where Tom Hughes was umpire, and there seems every reasoa to hope that by its aid the old antagonism between capi tal and labor mav be finally put to rest. The higher education of women movement Is steadily progressing. We shall not for a long time have anything like your city's Normal School. Indeed the simple statement that, in Philadelphia, nearly fifteen hundred women earn their bread by teaching is received with Incre dulous astonishment. But courses of lectures for women are being organized in most of our . Important towns. Oxford and Cambridge send examiner far and wide through tae country to examine girls aqd give certificates of merit, and In my own alma mater, Cambridge, a house is to be opened next October for the special ac commodation of young ladies who may wish to learn from the lips of enthusiastic graduate of tbe university. The "6weet girl-graduates with their golden .hair" of Tenuyson's. "Princess" are in a fair way to be realized. Tbe circulation of post-cards has risen to a million a week, and the stationers are in high dudgeon, because, forsooth, the Government supplies writing material (the card) gratis, and the public buys less letter-yaper In consequence. I fear they will have to "grin and bear It." The public having once tasted post-cards, wont readily forego them. How gratified the 200 American visitors who, we are told, lately had the honor of a special audience and hand-klsslug of the Pope, must have felt on being assured by his Holiness that "they had only to descend into their own hearts, to examine and reflect, and .they would in the end find out the truth." Perhaps; but tcfca truth, and bow tnnch of it? ' An ingenious gentleman, one Mr. Alfred Uavl- land. aided by a grant from the Treasury, has produced a map showing the geographical dis tribution of heart disease in England and Wales. Alter this, of course, before removing to another r,lthborhocd or taking a lamliy to a waienng nlaf e. one will anxiously look in Mr. Havlland's map for the chance of getting or escaping heart ai,.. thorn.
