Baltimore. The Baltimore papers of yesterday con tain full accounts of the imposing cere monies of tho consecration of two now Catholic bishops, of Wilmington, Dela ware, and North Carolina. To the former bishoprick the Key. Thomas A. Becker formerly of Richmond, (so well known and bo very much esteemed here,) and to the latter the Rev. Dr. James Gibbons, lately one of the Secretaries of the Most Reverend Archbishop of Baltimore. An immense crowd was attracted to the cathedral on the occasion. The procession trom the Archbishop's mansion to the cathe dral numbered one hundred and fifty, con sisting^ of priests, acolytes, seminarians, &c. The Archbishop, with mitre and cro zier, and full archiepiscopal vestmentB, and attended by the Vicar-General, Very Rev. Dr. II. B. C'oskcy, his chancellor, Rev. Dr. Thomas Foley and Rev. Dr. Francis Mc Nierny, as deacons of honor, closed the procession. As the procession entered the church the music of the grand organ, with orcheRtral accompaniment, performed the consecration march. The procession filed in, and those who composed it took their positions about the altar, which was profusely decorated with flowers and lighted candles. The Archbishop, who acted as consecra tor and celebrant of mass, occupied the episcopal seat, attended by his deacons of honor, whilst the bishops elect each took po sition in the side altars ? Bishop Gibbons being attended by Right Rev. Bishop Lynch, of Charleston, and Right Rev. Bishop Do minee, of Pittsburg, and Bishop Becker by Right Rev. Bishop Whelan, of Wheeling, Va., and Right Rev. Bishop McGill, of Richmond, Va. Within the sanctuary were the Right Rev. Bishops Bayley, of Newark, N. J.; O'Ifara, of Scranton, Pa.; and Sha ll ah an, of Har ribbing, Pa. The Archbishop, seated in a chair on the topmost step of the main altar, directed the apostolic commission authorizing the con secration to be read, which was done by Rev. Dr. Corkran, of Charleston, S. C. The bishops elect, with ?Xhe attendant bishops, being then seated, the Archbishop, as con secrator, then proceeded with the usual form of examination in Latin. The exami nation being closed, the prescribed oath was administered, pledging the Bishops to obe Jicnce to the I'ope and fidelity to the Church ! and the faithful administration of their offices. The Archbishop then proceeded to cele brate pontificial high mass. At the " Gos pel " the bishops elect, with the attendant bishops and priests, each at a side altar, were invested with the pectoral cross, the tunic dalmatic chasuble, and with white sandals. The consccrator and assisting bishops then knelt, resting forward on their seats, wearing their mitres, whilst the bishops elect laid prone on their faces on the fioor of the sanctuary. The Litany of the Saints was then sung, the responses of lt Ora pro nobis " (" Pray for us ") resound ing through the arches of the grand old ca thedral. Tho litanies being finished, the elect knelt before the consecrator and assistant bishops, the Book of the Gospel open was placed on the neck and shoulders of the elect, the hands of all the bishops being laid simultaneously on their heads, each of them touching the head of the elect with botli hands, saying, at the same time, " Receive thou the Holy Ghost." Bands ol linen were then bound around the heads of the elect bishops, and the consecrator, put ting on his mitre, and taking oil' his ring and gloves, aunointed the heads of each with holy oil or chrism, making the siguoi i the cross on the crown, which was tonsured, I or shaven. The bishops elect then each had a white i cloth 011 his neck to support his hands, and I joining them side to side, knelt before the ! Archbishop, who anointed the palms with chrism in the figure of a cross, and after wards their entire surface, saying : " May those hauds be anointed with consecrated oil and the chrism of sanctification ; as Samuel anointed David, King and Prophet, so may they be anointed and consecrated." The Rev. Dr. Foley then preached an in teresting sermon from loth John, 4th to 7th verse : " Abide in me, and I in you," &c. At the close of the sermon the mass was resumed, blended with the consecration ceremonies. The mitres or hats, the cro ziers or staffs of olfice, and the episcopal rings, were then separately blessed with great formality by the consecrator, and handed to the newly-consecrated, the con secrator saying to each : "Receive the staff of the pastoral office, that in the correction of vice thou mayst temper justice with mercy, holding judg ment without wrath; mayst soothe the minds of the hearers by cherishing virtue, ; and mayst not neglect the strictness of dis cipline through love for tranquillity. " Take this ring as a token of fidelity ; so that, being adorned with inviolate faith, thou mayst, without stain, guard the spouse of God ? to wit, His holy Church. In the course of the proceedings the book of gospels was given to the bishops elect, and the kiss of peace was received by them from the archbishop and assistant bishops. After other ceremonies, at the conclusion of mass the new bishops, with their emblems of otlice, gave the blessing to the congregation, and retired. The cere mony closed with the Te Deum, finely ren dered by the choir. Theatrical. ? Edwin Booth commences an engagement at the National Theatre, Cin cinnati, on September 14. j Dolly Davenport, who was dead ? in the i papers ? but its again alive, is to be stage ! manager next season at the Olympic Thea- i tre, St. Louis. The treasurer of Howe's Circus and Menagerie, Mr. L. A. Hitchcock, did not "absquatulate" with the funds of that concern, as was reported, but is at the pre sent moment located at Cape Vincent, where he is busily engaged in reorganizing the " show " for the fall campaign. De Bar's Opera House, St. Louis, opened on Tuesday for a " season of five only " with "the wonderful Fust-Yania Japanese Troupe, entirely different in every act." As these bronze top-spinners, magicians, acrobats, and musicians, are said to be the most extraordinary ever permitted to leave the dominion of his High Mightiness the Tycoon, the citizens of St. Louis will proba bly appreciate the sport that Manager De Bar's generosity has provided for them. It is reported in Paris that the Emperor Napoleon has written to the Marquis of Caux. informing him that he (the Marquis) cannot bear the title Equerry to his Majesty so long as his wife, the Marchioness (Patti), continues her connection with the thea tre. The Marquis is forty-two years old, and the Marchioness twenty-six. The happy couple will fluctuate between Lon don and Paris until November, when they go to St. Petersburg, and from there they will come to New York. Mr. Barton Hill will be the great attrac tion next season at the Arch-street Theatre, Philadelphia, with Mies Lizzie Price as leading lady. Thaddeus Stevens, a day or two before he died, was told of the recent accident to Ben Butler, in Worcester, when he was thrown from his carriage.

The steamer Colo rado arrived this morning with Yokohama dates to July 26th and Snanghae and Hon Kong dates to July 15th. The Colorado experienced strong head winds the entire homeward passage. She has eighty cabin passengers, eight hundred Chinese in the steerage, and 20,000 packages of tea, and silk for the United States and Europe. The steamer New York arrived at Yokohama July 25th. The Bteamer Great Republic received her new ehaft from the steamer Colorado, and would leave for Hong Kong, with New York freight and passengers, on July 2Sth. Shanghae, July 15. ? The United State? fleet, with flagship, was mostly in Japan. The Monocacy is here, all well ; Ashulelet at Tien Sing, all well. The gold diggings? at Shefoo were being prospected by foreign ers. A report came per Falong, from No gunski, that one hundred and fifty Chris tian Japan natives had been taken out from Noganski in a steamer and drowned, the Consul's remonstrance notwithstanding. The China, Hong Kong, mint had been disman tled and sold to the Japanese Government. The machinery will be removed to Yoko hama. Major-General Barker had left Ilong Kong to inspect the British troops in Japan. Several piracies had been committed, and the offenders caught and punished.

Yokohama, July 26. ? On the afternoon of the -1th of July an attack was made by twenty thousand southerners on Tokuga, who was at Yeddo, about fifteen thousand strong only. The southerners were re pulsed. The attack was renewed next day. Tokuga was entirely routed, and half of Yeddo, including two large temples ? one of them the residence of a Damio ? burned down. At Fichigo, about eighteen miles south of Osaca, a terrible battle was fought between the forces of Aidzu and Satzuma. The latter was defeated with great loss. Satzuma and Chaisu were deserted by seve ral Dam i os. Subsequently, Chaisu, himself declared his intention of withdrawing, and ordered his Generals home, and remains neutral. Satzuma's party issued a proclamation in the name of the Mikado, condemning all native Christians to death. Several were executed at Noganski. It is stated that the northern princes had made a proposition for a settlement of affairs to the arbitration of England, France, and the United States. In case the latter Powers accept the respon sibility, they bind themselves for the exe cution of the decision both on their pari and that of the Mikado. The port of Netaka, on the west coast, was partially opened, the North German and Italian Ministers allowing clearances there. Other Ministers had not sanctioned the opening yet, on the ground that it was not safe, and liable to the same troubles as at Osaca. In port, United States steamers Piscata gua, Shenandoah, Oneida, and Maumee. At lliago, Iroquois ; at Tien Sing, Aroostook. Trouble in Turkey. ? London , August 15. ? Evening. ? Dispatches received to-day from Constantinople state that a serious en counter took place at Pera, two miles from the city, between the Greek residents ami the Turks, in cousequcuce of a violation ot the grave of Prince Mirdites. The troops of the Sultan were called out to suppress the riot, and fired upon the Greeks, killing and wounding a large number. Many oi the latter lied to the residences of the fo reign consuls for refuge. The trouble was finally suppressed by the active measures of the soldiery. The Empress and tue Queen. ? A Paris correspondent of July 28th says: "The Empress came to Paris last Saturday for the Council of Ministers at the Tuileries. She travelled by the usual train in her .salon car, wedged in between two ordinary first-class cars. She read nearly all the way, and cut several of the papers bought for her by her command of the woman who holds a stall of books at the depot. A very quiet remark was made by her to one of the Ministers, who compluined of the thick showers of stones thrown in ministerial glass-houses. ' Yes,' she said, ' you are as badly off as we are, being such very close neighbors.' Before leaving the station she gave instructions for the preparations which are to be made for the Queen of England's reception on the 6th of August, particularly impressing on the gentlemen in office that no official solemnity was to be attempted ? simply measures taken which concern her visitor's comfort and public security, as the Queen wishes to preserve the strictest incognito. Villa Wallace is, I believe, the place selected for her Majesty at Lucerne ? an honor due to Scotia. Wine in France. ? The Salut Public , of Lyons, says : The wine crop offers a splen did aspect almost everywhere, and is mag nificent in Burgundy, the Maconnais, Re vennont, and Lyons country. In the vine yards of Beaujolais the vine stocks literally bend beneath the weight of the grapes, which at present have attained almost their full size, and have begun to redden for the last few days. The owners are in high spirits, and if slight showers and great heat should alternate as hitherto, there are grounds for expecting a very superior yield in quantity and in quality as compared with that of last year; and besides, the vintage can be made a month earlier. We tsannot deny, however, that the prolonged drouth and the extraordinary heat have caused some damage in certain quarters. In sandy and gravelly soils many of the grapes have been roasted by the sun. The vineyards of Mont-d'Or have particularly suffered in that respect, and rain is ardent ly longed for. In the South the oidium, comparatively inoffensive in these districts, has caused serious loss. English Women at the Race3. ? The Pall Mall Gazette says : " A knowledge of horses seems now-a-days to be only a small part of the accomplishments required in a racing reporter, if we may judge from the following tasteful and learned disquisition in the Sporting Gazette's article on Good wood : The first 6eat on the bank near the en trance gate is occupied by the Prin cess Edward of Saxe-Weimar, the Duchess of Manchester, and the Countess of Coven try ; and the Duchess's white lace skirt over black silk throws up the crimson and black lace and rich mauve moire of her companions with fine effect. Just beyond are Maria, Marchioness of Ailesbury, in white muslin trimmed with mauve ; the Hon. Mrs. Curzon,in white, trimmed with blue ; and Mrs. Poulette Somerset, in black and blue; while just below them the Countess of Wilton, in a gorgeous rose silk ; Lady Grey de Wilton, in Alexandra blue satin (both richly trimmed with lace) ; Lady Royston, in a short dress of white glad, with a profusion of small flounces ; and Lady Chelsea, in French gray, trimmed with lavender? formed one of the most brilliant and attractive groups on the lawn. Strikingly effective are ths plain canary silk and bonnet of Lady Cecilia Bing ham, who sits between the Countess of.Strad broke, in an exquisite toilette of mauve and white silk, richly trimmed with lace ; and Lady Warncliffe, in lavender ; and just be yond them is Lady Susan Vane Tempest, who attracts universal admiration by her natural classic beauty rather than by her quiet costume of black net over violet satin, ller companion, the Princess Soltykotf, is the " cynosure of all eyes," and no wonder, for however much admired for her pretty figure and piquantc looks, her costume, as usual, is quite exceptional? one of Worth's most perfect successes-? white silk (short, of course) ornamented with crimson velvet heartseases, and a white hat with crimbon feather. For simplicity of costume, hut none the leas attractive were the white ba rege, edged with pink, of the Ladies Tay lour, and the white muslin of the Misses Hawlcy, whose cotn v, as at Ascot, was most extensive. Mrs. Sloane Stanley, in a short dress of mauve silk, exquisitely trimmed with white lace, attracted general admira tion, and foremost among the belles we must also place the two Misses Staunton, in white muslin trains over canary silk, with short, square, black lace jackets ; Miss Eyre, in a very pretty, short blue and white striped silk costume ; and her cousin, Miss Herbert, in white. _ Madeira Wine.? The Pall Mall Gazette says that Madeira wine, once so popular in England and in India, has long become a drink of the past. The grape disease destroyed the famous vineyards of the island, and the peasantry, thrown out of work, emigrated to the West Indies, whence a few of them returning substituted the cultivation of the sugar cane for that of the grape. But a firm in Funchal writes to the Times to announce that the vines of Ma deira are recovering from the plague by which they have been smitten ; that the vintage of 1S67 amounted to 2,.'?00 pipes, of which 1,600 were of prime quality; and that the yield of the present year promises to surpass that of LS67. So cheered are the Madeirans by their prospects that in many parts of the island they are rooting up the sugar canes and replanting vines. A Scene in* a French Newspaper Office. ? The Paris 1'ays has the following account of an attack made upon one of its contributors, M. Paul de Cassagnac : " To-day, July 25, at a quarter to 3, being in the oilice of the Pays, we saw a person enter wearing the full uniform of a naval lieutenant. This person, who had not been announced, walked up 10 M. de Cassagnac and said to him, 'Arc you M. Paul de Cassagnac ?' 'I am,' he replied ; and then, without any further comment, he struck him across the face. M. de Cassag nac, thus insulted, kept his temper, and said, ' Very well, sir, explain yourself : what does this mean ? ' The stranger, who seemed in a great state of excitement, and who all the time had his hand on the hilt of his sword, refused at first to explain him self, vociferating meanwhile, ' It is a duel: we shall fight to the last drop of blood ; you may choose your weapons ! ' M. de Cassagnac then said, ' You see how calmly I speak to you. You know what I am. You attack me in my own house. I have a right to kill you. I could, moreover, as 1 am armed ; but I wish to avoid the appear ance of an illegal act. Once more, explain yoursef.' ' I nin armed also,' replied the officer, in an excited manner. ' I have a loaded revolver.' " M. de Cassagnac now assumed a threat ening manner. The stranger then, in the most incoherent manner, gave him the fol lowing explanations : ' You have insulted Jules Favre, who has been a second father to me. I owe everything to him. You have insulted the students ? those noble hearts. I will not allow such articles to be pub lished. I have gone round the world ; for three days I have been searching for you. I have fought seven duels. You may choose your wcapous. 1 will not fight with a sword, because my naval comrades would say I had killed you' ; and much more in the same strain. ' Very well, sir,' replied M. de Cassagnac ; 4 but have you the cou rage to write and sign what you have jnst uttered, and likewise what you have done here V ' Certainly ; dictate and 1 will write.' Thereupon he wrote the following declaration : "'I, the undersigned, Charles Ernest Lullier ? and (interrupting himself) 1 might write liaron Lullier, but 1 despise those sort of things ? I am a Republican naval lieutenant, and I ? declare that 1 entered the oilice or offices of the Pays for the pur pose of striking M. de Cassagnac in the face. E. Lullier.' " M. Paul de Cassagnac has referred the affair to the Police Corrcetionelle, and thus terminates an article on the subject : " As for me, I am proud and satisfied with what 1 have done. The reputation which 1 had acquired is disagreeable to me. I have beeu called 'The Duelist.' This is the second time 1 have refused to fight, and that in the most distinct manner. Formerly people used to reckon my duels ; they may give that up now." IXTERESTIXtt To IXQPISITIVE Travel lers. ?

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. From V/aMhinffton. W ashtmjtox , August 17. ? The provisions of the new tax bill forbidding the distilla tion and rectification in buildings within 600 feet of each other gives rise to an inte resting legal question : Which of the many extensive establishments of each class now within that distance of each other shall cease operations ? The Star says : " Several of the new Governors of the southern States recently made requisition on the Secretary of War for nrms, under a law passed in 17t>6, but the Secretary declines to furnish them until further legislation on the subject. The Governors have in consequence united in an appeal to Congress to meet on the day to which it had adjourned to take action in the matter." It is stated that both the French and Prus sian Ambassadors here have advices indi cating war between the two countries. Minister Rosecrans has received a part of his instructions. The policy towards Mex ico is to be conciliatory. The treaty regard ing claims against Mexico will be sent there for ratification, there being no Mexican Minister. Nocommissioner under the treaty will be appointed until it is duly ratified. Attorney-General Evarts's opinion is published. It favors the power of the President to appoint a collector for New Or leans and officials for Alaska, their terms to expire at the next reassembling of the Senate.

Tlie Negro (?inartl not Popular. Lancaster, Pa., August 17. ? At the fu neral of Thad Stevens, to-day, immense crowds were present, including delegations from societies in all parts of the State. The Governor, State officers, and other promi nent men, were in the procession. The fu neral address was delivered by Rev. 1). Mombert, of St. James's Episcopal church. The guard of honor, composed of the ne gro officers of the -Butler Zouaves, which accompanied the body from Washington, went back this morning. It appears that considerable feeling wa3 excited here by their presence, many Republicans regard ing it as inappropriate. These negroes, clad in uniform, attracted considerable attention from the farmers and others, who viewed them with mingled curiosity and wonder. South Carolina Le{;lslatnro. Columbia, S. C., August 17. ? The House to-day passed the bill putting the negroes in the State on an equal footing with the whites. The negro members demanded equal rights at hotel tables and beds and in all licensed places.
