G THE DAILY EVENING TELEGlAriI riIILADPiLPHIMQNDAY, NOVEMBER 30!18G81 l ntrllsh and French Cities. from the London S'ltur'li; Review. S know not how far any one'a national vanity is at all troubled by the thought. whi U mnst present iUelf to any oue who goes through cny considerable part of Knglaud aul France with hia eyea open, that there la hardly any city in England which can trace the same unbroken historical existence which can ba traoed by nearly every French town that can loauV of enough of early Importance to have been the seat of an ancient Bishopric. The history of a great number of French towns follows a single type. The site has been a place of human habitation, and the centre of a more or less organized society, as far back as history or trustworthy tradition oau take as. It was a post, most usually a fortress over looking a river, which formed the stronghold, the capital, ir we may bo call It, of a Gaulish tribe. From those times till now it ha never ceased to be, in one form or another, a seat of habitation and of dominion. The Gaulish hill fort became the Roman town. It was fenced about with Koman walls, and it received a Hon hd municipal constitution. In the South it retained, aud still re tains, its original ante-Roman name. ISurdigala and Tolosa keep to this day, With hut slight changes, the names which they have borne Irom the beginning of things. In the North the name of the town was most commonly forgotten; it was supplanted by the same of the tribe. Lutetia Farisiorum, the town of the tribe of the l'arioii, retains, as Faris, not its own name, bat that of its inhabi tants. In either case the continuous existence of the town was not interrupted, and in either case an ancient Gaulish name, either of the town itself or of thu tribe, remains to this day. Next, under the Roman domination a new element comes in, destined to be as lasting as the other. Christianity is preached at an early time, converts are found, persecution follows, some saintly and martyred Bishop conneots his name for ever with the city. As Chris tianity becomes the recognized faith of the Empire, the local church emerges from its obscurity, and obtains a position which it was never destined to lose. Except when it hat been tampered with by recent changes, the episcopal succession in a French oity has gone on uninterruptedly since the third or fourth century; the present eathedral stands on the Bite of a church of those primitive times; the extent of the diocose marks the extent of the Koman civil division of which the oity was the head. Then came the Teatonio inroads, those of the Franks in the north, those of the Goths and Burgundians iii the south. The connection with the seat of Empire, with Rome Old or New, first became .nominal and then was wiped oat. altogether, till the day when the Roman diadem was set on the brow of a Frankish king. Bat the Gaulish hill-fortress, the Roman city, lived through the storm. It remained a seat of habitation and of dominion; it retained its name, its position as the head of a district, iu the south it even retained large traces of its Roman municipal organiza tion. Above all, it retained its character as a seat of spiritual rule, the seat of a chief church and its chief pastor. The cities of Gaul have lived on uninterruptedly from the days of Sextius and Cicsar till now. The episcopal churches of Gaul lived on uninter ruptedly from the days of primitive Christen dom to the great Revolution. And with most of them the great Revolution itself was only a passing eclipse. The chief towns of France, in short, are places which have been abodes of man, seats of man's industry and govern ment, such as industry and government have keen at various times, for eighteen hundred or two thousand years, and lor as many more prehistoric centuries as any one chooses to add. Dynasties, governments, nations, lan guages, all have changed; but to this day the chief fort of each tribe overrun by Crejar commonly remains the cathedral city of a diocese, and is often also the capital of an ancient province or a modern department. Now this is the history uot of one or two cities only, but of a whole class. When any place of any importance deviates from the type, it is at once notioed as au exception. It is in no way interfered with by the faot that many French bishoprics have been divided, and some in modern times united. The pro cess which is really destructive of continuity, that of translation from one seat to another, is exceedingly rare. And we may add that in France it is the old cities, the immemorial ecclesiastical and civil capitals, which are, to a very great extent, the seats of modern com merce aud manufacture. We need not speak of the age of Massalia, the Hellenic common wealth which braved the might of Cieiar, the Free City of the Empire which braved the might of Charles of Anjou. But Lyons, Rouen, Bordeaux, AmienS,- Nantes, ara all examples of modern industry and commerce finding their homes in the abodes of anoi?nt counts and bishops. Cherbourg, Brest, ToS'on, though not equalling the associations of the others, are all ancient and historio towns. Havre alone is modern, but it has lived three centuries, and three centuries, in the eyes of many people, is a very respectable antiquity. Turn to our own country, and, instead of a whole class of immemorial Gaulish cities, we shall find at most two or three which make a distant and doubt ul approach to an analogous character. Many Euglish towns stand on the site of Roman towns, but very few, if any, English towns can trace the same uninter rupted connection with primitive times which is still plainly written on the aucient cities of France. It is by no means clear that the Ro man towns in Britain so generally occupied Celtic Bites as they did in Gaul; it is quite oer tain that few or no Euglish towns oau show the same continuous existence from Roman times whioh so many French towns can. A great gulf, an interval of historio darkuess, a period given up to the conjectures and infer ences of ingenious men, divides their latest recorded Roman existence from their earliest recorded English existence. No existing Eng lish, or even Welsh, Bishoprio pretends to trace an uninterrupted Episcopal succession further back than the sixth century. That any English towns retain a traditional, or even an imitative, Roman constitution, is a mere dream without a shadow of proof. Kay, it is not even eertain that the Bites of the anoient Roman towns were continuously inhabited. Many of them are utterly for saken, others have changed their names, of mose wincn nave Kept tueir names several are suspected to have changed their sites. London retains its name, but very learned antiquaries doubt whether the oldest English London oc cupied the Bite of Roman London. Hut, after all, the Bishoprio is generally the best means of comparison. Of coarse, we set aside the sees founded in England by Ilenrr the Eighth and in our own day, just as we set aside the more recent Bishoprics of France. We have no oonoern with the see of Manches ter or with the see of Versailles. We hare no concern even with the see of Gloucester or the of Montauban. Oar anoient English dio ese. like those of Franoe, represent the oivil divisioiu which existed at the time of their foundation; but then in England those civil " '' we not the aistriots of Roman cities, but were anoient English principalities. The sees were by no means necessarily plaoed In Roman cities. When they were, they can trace no unbroken sttoesBion from the Bishops of Roman times. Londoa and York had doubt lei been episcopal seats in earlier times, but the English Bishops of those oitlea were In mo sense successors of the Roman or Britiah H i hops. A wide gap, the introduction of another people and another language, the introdaotioa and the overthrow of auother religion, cut (f the two series from one another. Bat in truth an English Bishoprio had no suoh neces sary connection with a city as a continental Bishopric had. The head church, served by the Bishop's monks or elerks, was placed somewhere, but it was by no means necessarily plaoed in the greatest or most ancient town In the diocese. Selsey, Ramsbury, Sherborne, Wells, Lichfield, Elmham, Danwtoh, were episcopal sees, and little else, and all of them have, either for a time or for ever, had their episcopal rank taken from them. Dor chesterthe Oxfordshire Dorchester was a Roman site, but it had no continuous civlo existence like Chartres or Angers. None of these cities have anything like the history, none of them have anything like the outward appearance, of those cities iu France where the Gaulish hill-'ort has gradu ally grown into the modern city. At Exeter and Lincoln we do see an outward appearance which may be fairly likened to that of the French type of city; but the historical ana logy fails us. Lincoln aud Exeter were Ro man cities, but they did not become Eoglish Bishoprics till the eleventh century, when their episoopal chairs were removed to there from Dorchester and Creditor. Colchester, which, of all the towus in England, has the best claim to assart a continuous occupation eiuce Roman times, has never become a Bishop's see at all. Again, Loudon stands in England absolutely by itself in the retention of anything like that continuous Importance which Paris shares with many other French cities. Our greatest towns are, as a rule, neither the seats of Roman dominion nor yet the seats of old-Eng-lifch Bishoprics. Manchester and Leeds bear names which connect them with very early history, but they have no continuous great ness. Our old ports have mostly sunk into insignificance; some of them have ceased to exist. Southampton and Dover alone can pretend to any continuous life. Of our cities famous in the middle ages, Bristol and Nor wich almost alone have kept up any unbroken importanoe, and of Bristol and Norwich, as the modern importance is quite secondary, the antiquity is quite secondary also. Through out England our connection with early times is far more strongly shown in institutions than in sites or buildings. In France it is the re Terse. The contrast, then, is striking in everyway. A French city, the seat of a bishopric, the capital of an ancient province, can commonly show an uninterrupted existence, an unin terrupted importance, from the very beginning of civil and ecclesiastical history. The origin of the town is lost in the maze of pre-historio times, the origin of the charch is lost among the early legends of saints and martyrs. The city retains either its own Celtic name or the name of the Celiio tribe of which it was Uie head. In England, on the other hand, cities and churches are all of comparatively reoent date. Not more than two or three can even pretend to a continuous existenoe from British or Roman times. Names have ohanged, the Beats of dominion have shifted, the seats of ecclesiastical and of civil rule do not coincide; they often have never coincided. The con tinuous local history of our cities begins, at a rule, with the seventh century or later. The recorded continuous local history of a French oity goes baok to Caesar or Sextius, and the days of Casar or Sextius were not its be ginning. Everything in England points to a thorough uprooting of old in stitutions, the formation of old si es, a complete destruction, in short, of all organiza tion and governments, which left a new na tion to make a new start. That is to say, the English conquest of Britain was something wholly different from tha Fiankish, Hnrgun elian, Gothio conquests of Gaul. Without making this comparison, and without carry ing it out into minute details, no one oan un derstand the phenomena of our early history. Now this is just what our ingenious theorists, our genealogists who trace our pedigree up to our British ancestors, our clever men who stand up for the Roman origin of. English municipalities, never take the trouble to do. History, like philosophy, to be really philo sophical, must not be conjeotural, but com parative. A comparison of Britain with Gaul or Spain will teach more thau ten thousand ingenious guesses. It is written on the face of the two countries that the English conquest of Britain places a complete break, what we philosophers call a "solution of continuity," between the days before and the days aftsr it. The Frankish conquest of Gaul, with all the importaut changes that it brought about, made no such complete break. Iu a word, Englishmen are Englishmen, with a certain Celtic infusion. Frenchmen, notwithstandinz a ceitain Teutonic infusion, are Celts to thid day. DIntticiil Iiemaj At the Crystal Puliice, Loudon, has been produced a comparatively unkuown work of Schumann's a symphony composed in 1850. It is known in Germany as "the Rhenish" (dio Rhtinische), because Bohumauu -was in the habit of sajing that tlio first impulse towards its composition had been produced on his mind by the sight of the Cathedral at Culoguc, and strengthened by the grand ceremonial of the In stallation there of the archbishop at cardinal, which he witnessed while engaged in the com position. The impression which this ceremony made on his mind he has recorded in the fourth movement, or introduction to tho Finale, to ac company a religious ceremonial. The work was a great success. It is stated that M. Remusat, the flute player, has formed at Kuunghae a musical so ciety ol 450 members, for whose amusement an oichestra of thirty instrumentalists aud a chorus of twenty-live slugers are in the habit of perl odically performing. Rosiiui's titabat Mater is one ot the pieces which are now being rehearsed. The perlormance of a hymn to the "Water Dolorosa" must Burcly be a novelty to the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire. lima de Mureka hat lately reappeared at the Royal Italian Opera, Coveut Gardeu, Lon dou, after over thre year' absence fro.n the British metropolis. 8he sang la Lucia, and met with her usual success. Monginl was the "idgardo," and Santlej the "Enrico." Murska has also boon singing in the Uugufnols and Linda. Minnie Hautk Is now singim; at the same theatre. She hai appeared iu Fau$l and Don Giovanni. Mr. Max 6trakocH will brlnt; out Mad'lle Carlotta I'uttl in a set its of concerts next sea ton not this season, as someot oar coutempo rarieshave announced. Mad'lle Carlotta Fattl is a charming Biuger, and by many she is es teemed as superior to her sister Adeliua. She hns not appeared in this country lor u number of years. At the raideloop concerts of classical music in Paris they are trying the experiment of play ing chamber wuuio with full orchtstra that is, multiplying the number of initraments on each part of a Haydn or UcndeUtobn stringed quartet or qnlnte. The result la variously criticized by asititeiira. Mr. Costa's Eli iflven at Rtuttaid recently, under tha Immediate direction of the composer.

Adellna Patti, from the date ol her first appearance in Paris, secured Roalni'e kindly admiration; and much of her success ahroai W owing to the advice and suggestions she received from him. They have had a new opera at Dresden by a young compoer named llolsteln. It is called Dtr Iloidvfhadit, aud is described aa beiug very melodious. Aaber's first work, written In 181J. was an opcietta called Le ISejour MitUatre. Ilia list, written iu 1807, is the Jour de Bonhtur. Drnmnllc Items. The audience of the New Vaudeville Theatre, in Krnsat'ls, had a narrow escapo lately. Some unusual caprices In the gas caused a few psreoris to leave the house. The majority remained, and their feelings were vividly aroused by the Eudden tail of the curtain before the end of the piece, and the appearance ot the manager, who begged all present to leave the house imme diately, as an explosion was apparently Immi nent. At this juncture the gas turned otf alto gether, and the alarmed people had to struggle oat of the theatre as they beat could. It ta greatly to their credit that, iu spite of the pre vailing terror, every one eacaped without mj ury. Had there been a atampede the loss of life would probably have been very great. As it was, some laJies only lost their cloaks, or got separated from their parties: this, with the difficulty of reaching home for those whose carriagea bad cot arrived, formed the sum of a mischance that might have swollen iuto eala mity. Very dashing and fearless young ladies went, in perfect confidence, ou the following evening to the opera, aatisSed that such a fright could not visit them two nigbta running. An adaptation of Vic'.or llugo'a novel of "Let Miaerables," by Mr. Henry Neville, was recantly produced ot the ulynipic Theatre, London, under the title of Ihe Yellow Fassporl. It la described as "a commonplace and rather dull nielo-drama, enlivened by 'sensation' scenes of the most approved description. Its characters are shadowy to aa extent which it is diQicult to comprehend when wo remember the materials with which the adapter had to work; and its plot consists ofa scries of incidents connected together by little except the presence ot one individual In them all. The dialogue, always bald and commonplace, becomes offensive in the comic scenes, and the entire work la a crude aud most unsatisfactory production. " It appears to us that this description would answer for moit dramatizations of novels. On the Hth of May, 1818, The Merry Wives of Windsor w as perl'ormoi at the llaj market Theatre, London, by the following cast: "Sir John Falstaff," Mr. Maik Lmouj "Sadllow," Mr. Charles Dickens : "Slender," John Leech; 1'iaioi," ueorge uruiKsnauu. Mr, John S. Claike is now performing at the Strand Theatre, London, la "Major Wellington de Boots," the part in which he made his debut in England. The receipts at tho theatres, concert rooms, and places of public amusement in Paris amounted in October to 1,776.0291., beinsr an increase ol 770,7001. on tue previous mouth. SHIPPING.
