ill - I/ MIL BULWER'S LETTER TO MR ORATFEELD. We find in the Philadelphia Bulletin, the follow-. ing letter, addressed by the British Minister, Sir HENRY BULWRR, to 'Mr. CHATiIitLA the British Charge in Central America. The Bulletin, credits the letter to the New - York Herald. - It will be seen that Mr. Bur;iveat'S letter bears date the 26th of Febuary, 1850,s:one tninah eta wet tymix days after he had entered.uport his Of cis duties in Washington. Yet, at that early day, e had discovered that General TsYr.oa's cabinet hues weak and inefficient, and without the'support of the people. he admits, by inference as strong as a direct assertion, that the present whip cabinet is suppliant enough to British influence, but checked, overawed, and controlled by the fear of the demo cratic party—the pop''''lar posts', as Mr. But.wtn correctly designates it. His words, with rest to the administration are theset - "It is, however, a weak government, and, being suspected by the p opular payty, is ever afraid of seeming in favor of any policy that is unpopular, Tans, though its in entions may be trusted, lie course cannot be relied upon."-- ' The italics are our own; and they are used only to direct attention to those expressions of Mr. BOL mut which contain the gist of his singular and un diplomatic epistle - to M . CHATFIRLD, Those ex pressions are, in substan e, that General Tsysoa's cabit is weak: that the p pular party is opposed to it; that the . intentions of essrs. CLAYTON EL Co. are such as a British sub ct may trust and confide in,.butThat the fear whi Messrs. Cosrrox Ess.Co. 1 Nt. entertain for the aforesai popular party, is so great that do reliance can be s ely placed on their con duct. After M. Poe • what shall we think of Sir H.

CIIATFI2I,D, .si, Feb. 26, 1850. Dear Sir—l hay .ur 'communications up to the 3d - of Jam ..ry is.. Al ye. l I was glad to hear of your arrangement with the governor of.llon oduras; and I trust that yon will thus have settled the, 1 'question of claims before he order for evacuating LiTigre Island arrives. I know dial it is difficult to deal with such people on matters of )iistial.., if yell '''cannot keep befol'e their e es the illtonste argument of force; and I feel exceedingly for your position, with such a gentleman us Squier "making capital" at your elbow. But, pray, let tn . ° take the liberty of suggesting . , to you that tt. is well always to con- s eider not only what you think shonldibeidone for the particular interest you have in hand,lbui - what your government, which has so Manly interests to consi der, will back you in doing; since to mitke a step forwards, if subsequently it is to be Made back wards, only renders matterA worse. I 'wauld not, ` also, let Mr. Squire's inisiloings hurry you too much out of the tine which you would otherwise pursue.— His conduct is generally disapproved of here; and I know that the State Department has formally disap proved of it. Neither do I think that tiffs government has at the present moment the vieWs ybu seem inclinel to credit it for. It is, howeve`r, a weak ,goverion fit; and, being suspected by the popular party, is ever afraid of seeming io fa . vor of any policy that is un popular.l Thus, though itsl, intentions may ha truss ted, its course cannot be relied upon. Attempts are being made to settle the ,Mosquito business. I think they may succeed; they ought to do so. We. have every wish to 'aid in co'rt meting a canal—that is, in protecting its consist) titan, and guarantying its security when constructrl. Nor have we any great interest in the Mosquito protectorate, or any selfish object to serve by maintaining it. But we ought not; and I beheie will not, abandon it dishon orably, nor permit the Nicaraguans, whom we have expelled therefrom, to be again masters of San Juan. .These are my private opium is, but I think you may like to know them. I have defended your conduct here as to Tigre . Island, on the ground that lt was provoked by Squier; but it was too "go-ahead." 11. L. B. P. S.—l just find that you ha ve thrown out to Squier something about a treaty of protection be tween us and Costa Rica. Now, Lord P. has not only denied that he has any idea of exercising a pro tectorate over Costa Rica,ht told the United States government he had refuse it. My instructions certainly forbid me to encoutage any suca idea: and 1. moreover, it would be' settins an example which it would be higliiy imprudent to give. I should tell you, indeed, that both the United States and our selves are at present proceeding upon the avowed policy that neither will seek for exclusive influence, in Central America; and while the conduct of Spier contravenes and embarrasse4 this policy oft one side any conduct of similar kind, on your part, must do so on' the other. 1 . These are merely private hints of mine to you, in order to prevent you finding Our position weakened by doing or promising What the United ,States will nut do, nor approve of being, p i roinised. Pray excuse my frankness; and wishing you to imitate uS, and write fully to me upon all toasters. 1 am again, dear sir, yours!respectfully. . 1 H. L. 8.. FON DU LAO; WIS.

It was laid out as early as 1835, by 11 e Fond de Lac Com pany, on the Loucheerah, or 1 n du . Lac river, at the site of an old village of th IVinnebag6 Indians. Its location is beautiful, on a p airie gradually ri,ing from the lake, with scattered groves and clumps of trees, and near it is the race g ound of the Indians, where'they run their horses. A high and steep ledge of limestone rocks eaten s through the coun try, in sight of thh town, from the northeast to the southwest, which appears to c the dwelling line between the heavily timbered I. nd on the east and the prairie and openings on tht west.

In about a year from this timo the improvements on the Fox river, between this find Green thy, will be finished, when we shall have a waier communi cation direct With Lake Michigan, and can go to Buffalo, Chicago and other lake I. ports, by water, and we shall, in fact, bed lake town. Early in May last, the Board, in pursuance of law, placed under contract to ttib lowest bidder, the construction of the Portage Canid and the necessary locks to connect the Fox grid Itlisconsin rivers, and alsp, the improvement of Fox rier, nod Rapids De pare and rapids Civello. These contracts were all let on terms highly favorable to the State. They amounted tome following:—ThC Partake Canal and luck, $36,200; the Rapid Cruche, $11.200; the Rapid at Depere was taken at the nominal sum of $1 by individuals, to secure its favorable location to their interests.

'With all theseAdvantagei, added to the finest ag,- riculttiral region in the world, together with a flue healthy climate; and So enterprising a set of inhab itants, Fond du Leo bids fair to become a place of considerable business and importance. Two .years ago, the town contained about three hundred inhah- ' !tants. There is now in the village a resident pen:- illation of near two thousand. The whole county, in 1849, contained but one hundred and thirty-nine in 484-2, it was two hundred and ninety-three; since then; the increase has been - unprecedented.

Money commands a gaol inter eit, running from ten to fifty per cent per annum; for, in this State, our wise legislators hove acknowl edged the progressive spirit of the age, and hold that money is like any commodity or article of mer- - cliandize—it will, according to its scarcity or abun dance, command more at one time than at another and have therefitre left the interest tai be fixed by In dividuals, who are certainly better judges of what they can afford to pay for money, than others can who know nothing of their wants, business, or cir cumstances. MI) LARD/3 SNAKRS CUT FROM TOR BODY OF A Live, Womax.—We have to record a most extraor dinary case of disease, and an operation for its re lief, attended with the most extraordinary results.— It has just occurred in this city. A Mrs. Kennedy, a woman of about forty, the wife of an Irish laborer, living at /15 Broad street, has fur Several years suffered greatly from ill health. Her symptoms and complaints were singular. She was afflicted with almUst constant pains, so that she conlii seldom or never rest in the night. She sta ted that she felt Snmething Timing up and down in the abdomen, that she frequently experienced the creeping sensation which is called fortification.— The-e feelings ivere peculiarly distinct at the bot tom of the abdominal cavity; on occasion of the dai ly deject ions. Site had been in the Hospital, and had been trba ted scdessively for cancer of the womb, worms, contracted hydratice, and other complaints but found no relief. ' i 1 • As her uneasiness and pains continued, ' o were the attempts to relieve her, but invariably without success. Not long'since, Dr. Wight, who e office and drug store is at the corner of Purchase and Broad streets, being in attendance upon her,.. introduced a tube into the bowels, with a twine loop attached, with a view to satisfy her fancy, and perchance to reacli and remove the cause of her trouble. Some worm , / were brought down, but her uneasinbss and pains received but only a very partial allevialion. About a week ago, she became subject to uncon trollable uceasiness, and begged Dr. • W ight to per form and operation for her relief. This he was re luctant to do, thinking it would hazard her life, without a sufficiently certain prospect of bringing redierito !torte compensate for the hazard. She de clared that life wasa burden, that she must die as she was and that speedily; that she was willing to die; death wooldle a relief: and she might as well die in qffirrts for relief as in any other way. • At last, D}. Wight yielded to her importunities and having, ffirst been solemnly exonerated from blame by the woman, and hrir husband, whatever might be the result, he consented to perform the operation. On Friday afternoon last, assisted by T. R. Ow ens and Surgeon J. J. M . Sheeby, he proceeded to perform the operation. He first made an incision about seven inches long along the medical line of the abdomen. Ile found a tumor projecting largely, about six inches in diameter and of irregular form. lie ripened it and found therein two snakes,' one eighteen, and the other fifteen inches in length. They were of a bluish green color, striped, the upper part being darker than the lower. The tumor being removed, the woman was in stantly relieved, and is now doing well.' The Doc tor calls the snakes colubra viridis. They can be seen pre rerved in spirits ut his office.—.Beslon Mail. There were three arrivals of the first class steam ships at this port. - yesterday. The Empire City, Capt. Wilson, rrived first, the Georgia next, and , then the Cherokee, representing about six thousand tons of shipping. They brought an aggregate of 277 passengers, (of whom about two hundred are from Californi..) and about $2,666,30 in freight. It is estimated that there are $30,000 in the hands of the passengers. Tue. CALIFOftNiA News.—lt was calculated by Mr. Thomas Butler King, in his report upon the wealth of our Pacific territories, that the, steamer of the Ist April would not bring more that half a million of gold from California. His calculations, like all that have over been made about the mine ral resources of that territory, but unlike human calculations upon most other matters, prove to be entirely short of the reality. Notwithstanding the long aud 'unusually severe wint. r, the unprecedented floods, the crowded and ill provided population, 'and every conceivable obstacle to successful mining, over two million hale been harvested for the Month of May and sent on, and there is every probability that every succeeding month till the return of the rainy season, will yield nt least an equal amount. - All the reports iodic:ate the most favorable pros pects. The facilities for communication with the mines are increasing daily. Science and experience are becoming more "abundant, and the imagination wearies in the vfilirt to measure the wealth which is diatined to flow from these inexhaustible sour ces. By the following extracts faorn the California pa pers, our readers -can judge whether our accouni has too much of the rose color. We have just conversed with an intelligent gen tleman, thoroughly acquainted with the mining re gions, who has returned recently from a tour through the various settlements known as Spanish Bar, Georgetown, Hangtown,, (now Placerville ' ) Kel sey's Diggings, Weherville, Auburn and - Green wood valley.

J .8.111, Elq., late State Treasurer, is at home again, his official term having expired. It is hinted by the Commercial that he intends to try his bottom in 'a race for' the Auditor Generalship. Well, provided Mallon gets the Democratic nomination, wo have no objection. but "on the contrary would be glad to see it." We think if would be "diamond gut diamond" as to political management. The Bedford Gazette We have neglected to notice the groat improvement typographically our friend Bowman has been tnidting in his Chtzettei It is now ono of the best looking papers upon our exchange. Wo trust the General willmeet with success corimensurate with his deserts. I Aoknowledgeiiiiit Wa acknowledge the receipt par letter. from the hand of some incognito female. friend, a apiendid linew pocket jlandkereltief. Whether it was intended as an insinua tion that we had'nt kept our nose clean heretofore, or as a . hint to keep it clean hereafter, we, of courau aro not informed. The present, in either case, Is equally adeep table Let it be Understood. In a recent number ofitlM Buffalo commercial, we find an article on the subject of mho Buffalo and State Line railroad, in which, the writer puts forth the following pro gram of the Sotoutinna and hopes of that company: • "It (the Road) will be built on (ha original survey to the State Line, relying upon the liberality and sense of justice of our Pennsylvania neighbors for the right of way through Mat State. There can be no reasonable Objection to granting it, and we presume no obstacle will be thrown in the way of the company in this respfcl." Now, as citizens of Pennsylvania, deeply interested in this road, as well as all others traversing our State, and perfectly understanding our position, we deem it time our intentions as toll as that of our State, should bo understood by our Buffalo Mends, as well as ell others interested. First, then, let it be understood that the Buf falo O ne State Line Road cannot have "the right of way TIIROU II" our State. We have up objoctione,-.--but on the contrary will lend the project all the aid in our power.—to the State Lino Road obtaining the "right of way" as far as this place. Farther it cannot. and shall not go! That, the citizens of this State are determined upon. We du not say that a road shall not be built from this West, but it must be neither a six foot, nor a four foot biz inch guago. It must be of dm same width of the Ohio roads—that is, a four fool ton loch track. This do termipation is so obviously to the interest of Pennsylvania —not merely thin part, but to the whole—that an expla nation in detail is hardly necessary. To bo brief. then; mho citizens of Pennsylvania are now spending millions in the construction of the Central Railroad, connecting Pitts burgh wits Philadelphia. That road is a four foot eight inch guago. West of Pittsburgh mho citizens of Ohio and Pennsylvania are, expending millions more in the construction of a road counseling Pittsburgh with Cleve land. That is a four oot ten inch guage , like all Ohio roads. Now, is it very probable. or possible, that Penn sylvania will allow either mho New York and Erie, or the New York Central roads, to build a six foot or a four foot eight inch truck across their State to Cleveland, and thus cut the throat. as it were of their Central Railroad? If the ButTalo railroad interest or the Now York and Erie railroadinterest think so, they aro either very green, or imagine we Pennsylvauiatts are. No. Pennsylvania is willing to give al! a fair chance, and by 9llowiug a track of the same width of that connecting the Central road at Pittsburgh with Cleveland, they will do so.. Thus oar Buffalo cotemporary will see that his "resumption" that "no obstictes will be thrown in the way" of the Stele Line Railroad obtaining a 'right of way through' this State, was mere "presumption," without a particle of knowl edge on the subject.l We trust now the intentions of Erie, end mho State, in regard to this matter is understood, and that Buffalo will take warning and not ask too much, or she may gat nothing: We have the cards in our own hands note, mid, if needs be, can play them Not So Very Doubtful. -A DOUBTFUL MATTEIIO—OUIT friend SLOAN, of the Erie Observer, exultingly onnounces that the next issue of his 19ccellent paper will be No. 1, of Vol. 21. and consequent. iv plumes himself on being of age. We readily concede that both his ability and experience entitle hint to all the Honors and privileges of a full majority, but we doubt very much whether he is legally entitled to claim them until tie shell print No. 520 Vol. 21.—Craieford Democrat. Our beet bow le due to oar friend of the Democrat for the very flattering compliment contained in the above; huthe - must allow us to differ with him as to the "doubt ful" character of tits "matter." The rfuestion is very and,decided by the law. The election lows re cognize the right of a person to vote—of being "of ago" —the day after the expiration ofhis 20th year. The laws governing thb rights of persons to niake legal contracts recognizes the sante principle. Na portion can plead'un der age as a legal bar to a debt contracted after the expi ration of his 20th year. A boy bound to rialto as an ap prentice until he is 21 years old is not held in serviceun. til he serves out 52 weeks of his 21st year—on the con trary. he is of age, and free, the day the 21st year com mences. So you see Mr. Democrat. according to the lam and the practice, we am "legally entitled to chi*" all we have assumed—no more, no fess. Ohio Constitutional Covention.

When we find the do/unionists of both sections of the Union—the hot heads of the south, and the fanatics of the north.—frater nising and coalescing for the purpose of keepieg•up agi tbtion. it is time that the friend of the Constitution, whether they ho Democrati or Whigs. should speak out. He that is not for me is against me. He that arrays himself with either of the ultras, proclaims that he loves his own self agrandizements better than the unity of the States. Under such circumstances we know of but one road, and that road is the Constitution and Its compro mises. In that rood we shall travel. rim The Compromise Scheme. The following is a synotsis of the Committee's report; Ist. The Committee ar unanimously of opinion, that new States may be formed out of Texas, under the terms of the compact entered into by the United States. in the resolutions of annexation; and that when they are soi formed they have meteor and undonbted right to be a dmti e d into the Union as eqttal States: but the commit ted do not think that any plan for the formation of the new States, out of Texas, should be originated by Congress but should bo left to the people of Texas, al so that such new States should be addmitted without any objection on account of the exclusion orpermission of slavery. 2d.' In considering the question of the adintnission of California. a majority of the committee are of opinion that every irregularity in the proceedings antecedent to her application for admission into the Union. should. in consideration of the many circumstances of her position, be overlooked, and recconuttend the passage of the bill reported by Mr. Douglass, for her admission in the Union as a State. 3d, The Committee also think it quite necessary that a Territorial Government should lbe furnished for the Territories of Utah and New Mexico. They had been abandoned, were inhabitinl by a mixed end unusually va ried population, and wer l e equallylas deserving of proper governments; and should have them speedily. They aro unfit, at present, for State Governments., and tho Com mittee reccommend that the admission of California, mid the bill provididg Territorial Governments be incorpora ted in UllO measure. They also recommend that the bill be passed without t the Wilmot' Proviso being attached to the 'Territories. They consider the Wilmot Proviso as applied to these Territories, a mere adstraction. 4th. • The committee report en additional section to the California and-Territorial bill, a provision determining the boundaries of New Mexico and Texas as follows: The boundary of Texas shall be the Rio Grande up td a point 2(1 miles noith,of El Paso Del Norte—theneo the line shall run tine north along the one h undredth paral lel of longitude till it strikes the Red River, and this lino of longitude shall be the eastern boundary of New Mexico—this lino includes within New Mexico the town of Santa Fe and a large portion of the disputed territory. for which the bill proposes to par Texas millions of dollars in stocks, at half yearly interest—the principal to be paid at end of 14 years. It is supposed that the sum agreed upon will be from six to ten millions. , Sth. The Committee report a section to be adde d to Mason's bill, iu relation, to fugitive sli4res It provides that every master, heore he go into another State to, r re cover his slave, shall go before some competent tribitnal and establish the fact of elopement of property, and of description of slave, and with these facts attested by a competent record, and upon presenting them to an of ficer, the slave shall be rendered up to him . Also. that if a slave declares his freedom, he shall hve a trial for his freedom on return to (110 state from which lie has es caped. oth.

The majority of the committee repo l rt a bill for the suppression of the slave trade in the District of Colum bia, upon the model of the law lately enforced in Mary land. A Sail Trimmed for - every Breeze. -It takes a most excellent navigator to trim his sails so to catch every breeze, and not a few who have tried it have bern shipwrecked. Especially is this so in , poli tics. Our neighbor of the Gazette mat', however. prove an exceptiOn—we item he will: but look at the two following sails set for political wind blowing from opposite directions, and sae if there is not a probability that one at least, or both, do not get tore to tatters. In speaking of the compromise of the committee of thirteen, our cotem porary makes use of the following unequivocal language: ' •'lt will readily bo inferred front the sketch of the pro ceedings of the U S. Senate on the occasion - of the pre sentation of the Report of the committee of Thirteen, given in another column, that the Compromise scheme cannot even pass the Senate, and that consequently, it will prove a signal failure. With all our respect for the character and confidence id tho motives of the progeni tors of this measure, the result is in accordance with our sincere wishes. Wo have always regarded the Admin istration plan as the best adapted to tho existing crisis— as in fact, tho only plan which could effectually quell the prevailing excitement, anti bring about domestic peabe and tranquility—and we trust its friends in Congress will, urge its immediate adoption." No one can mistake this langtiage—it is so plain that he who runs may read—but listen, "a change has come o'er the spirit of his dream"—"later intelligence" has arrived, and the dove coos another tune! The prospect is that the "Compromise scheme" may be adopted "af ter all," and hence° new sail must be bent to catch the popular breeze, and presto change, it is done in this wise: "Later intelligence indicates the possible adoption of the Compromise 'tactile, after all. It, is believed that, with 43 onto modification, it will go through the Senate; and in the House it will receive a warm and energetic support.

DE AR FRAPIL-April has almost outdone itself this year, giving atall programme-of rein., fogs and mists, with here and there a feW rays of bright sun•shine.— These last, however, have been of short duration, just long enough to tempt people out of doors in limo for the Succeeding shower. The morning may be warm enough for Juno, and the sight of the green leaves and the flow ers, and the sweet songs cf the birds, make one's heart feel glad. and you are ready to believe thaLsummer has really eqme. But as the day advances the scene ,chan gas. True you still have the leaves and the flowers, but t he birds haves nestled themselves in some quiet nook, and the weather would do credit to November. The rain, however, does not keep the crowd within doors. The slippery streets of Paris are still thronged, and if you can obtain an elevated look-out upon some of / the great thor oughfares, tho scone is a curious ono, with its immense sea of umbrellas, the waves of which are tossed to and fro according to the notions of the bearers. _How many elements aro enclosed in /the mighty current of men which from early morning until late at night . flows along the streets of such.a city in; Paris. Poverty elbows wealth, and vice brushes the skirts of virtue at every stop; and there is perluips not one of the multitude but is intent up 'on someobject. Each has his cares and anxieties, and 0001 his joys and sorrows. One seeks from the passers by a few sous, with which to satisfy the cravings of hun ger. The man who has just passed, and who cast such a look of scorn upon the beggar, is a millionaire, F and from his self-satisfied look you may gather that he has ducceeded in adding to his wealth. And so you may gp through the whole mass, even to the dandy, whose high est thought seems to be of the latest style of coats and false collars. Speaking of this last !article of dress re minds me of the anecdote of the Frenchman and Eng- I 'Nehmen who were boasting of the ingenuity of their res pective countrymen. The first introduced the false col lar as being of French.origin; to which the Englishman assented, but rejoined that it was an EnglishuMn who first thought of adding the shirt. Whether the story be true or not. (and I do not vouch for it,) It conveys a groat deal of truth. The great event which just now agitats the political world IS the election which is to come o on Ilse- 28th inst.. The I rod-republicau-democratic-socialists have nominated as their candidate for the national assembly. Eugene Sue, the man who is better known in ourcoun try as the author of the Wandering Jew, and the Mys teries of Paris. Ile has now a new work in press, cell ed the "Mysteries of the People," its which he is said'to point the advantages accruing' from socialism, in more vivid colors than in any of his preceding works. Bit. tho first numbers of-it have doubtless already boon trans lated And circulated on the other side of the Atlantic. lie will !probably be elected, although his opponents are mov ing Heaven and Earth to compass his defeat. All the immense influence of the Government is brought to boar in this struggle, for here the Imperialists and Royalists seem to be united and move forward as one man to de feat Socialism. By these last it is said that the govern ment has ordered - to Africa, all those troops, who; at the fast election', voted the Republican ticket; and the charge is probably true, for many regiments have been sent, some of which had but just returned. A terrible acci dent befel ono of these companies about a week since, at Angers. Some 400 mon were upon a suspension bridge, when the wire cable broke in the middle of the bridge, throwing the whole body of men in ono vast heap, into the stream below. Tho scene was a terrible ono for the spectators, of whom there were many on the banks. Many of the soldiers were killed or wounded by falling upon the bayonets of their comrades', many more were drowned, and many pressed to death; making its all 219 killed, and many more seriously injured. The Pres-_ ident and Minister of War went to Angers to as sist at The funeral obsequies. They likewise visited the hospital to console the mounded, and the Presiden t bestowed'the cross of the, Legion of Honor upon several of the citizens who were most active in rescuing the vic tims of the disaster. The l day after the news of the ac cidentroached Paris, an article from the pen of Proudhon appeared its the organ of the• Reds, "The Voice of the People." in which the writer accused the' GovernMent with being the cause of the disaster; "for," said he, "had these troops not been ordered to Africa, they would still have been safe., therefore you are guilty of their death." Of course no man capablepf reasoning could fail to de tect so evident a fallacy ps contained in that sentence, but in the heat of party strife people are prone to believe whet their passions dictate, and so it will be in this case. This letter was addressed to the Bourgeois, or wealthy citizens of Paris, and urged them to vote with the Repub licans at the ensuing election, for, said he, if you sup port the government in its course of oppression of the people. there must of necessity be another revolution, for the many will no longer be slaves to the few; and when the storm dim come, it is upon your heads that it will burst. The paper in which this letter appeared was seized in the Poet Office by the police s and destroyed, and the edi tor as well as Preuditon, indicted for escitiug the hatred of the people against the government. Proudhon has been in prison nearly a year for his Political writings, and daring the last winter. for the period of a week was al lowed to have communication with no one, on account of some articles which he had written. At that time he pledged himself to pass no more censures upon the acts ! of Government, and now, that he has broken his word be has been removed from Paris to the prison at Douleirs, whence hits voice will scarcely be heard in the capital for some time to come. Perhaps one of the most arbitrary acts of government is the siesing of some of the evening journals on the stands of the paper dealers. Many of these have been forbidden to sell any journals excepting three or four which are in the interest of government, and whtn they have been found infringing upon this permission; their papers have been seized and their licenses taken from them. The matter has been referred to tho courts of justice to determine whether the police have the pow er to act thus. or whether the paper dealers have not the right to sell what journals they please. When a govern ment cannot bear all that its anomie's may say against it, and particularly when it js obliged to go into such small busihess as waging war upon old women who gain a liv ing by selling newspapers, it shows that there is a weak spot somemwere—.:thit some "screw is,loose." Had it the power to control the press by the •direct intervention of force. as did Napoleon, it would show that at least it possessed strength, without which government is but a shadow. All questioes of King Irr Emperor is pot at rest for the present by both of these parties uniting to stifle the com mon enemy. Republicanism, which gives 'strong symp toms of soon reaching a powerful manhood, when it will be capable of acting, as it already is of thinking, for itself. The most moderate of this, party say, "let us wait; we are constantly growing stronger at the expense of our enemies; in two years wo will have a majority in the as sembly, and then a revolution will have been accom plished without bloodshed. Above all things, do not al law these petty acts of tyranny, perpetrated by govern ment to tempt vs to acts of violence, as they desire; for then we shall Imo all that we have hitherto gained, and the soil of Franco will again be steeped in the blood of a civil war." This advice, if acted upon, will lead to the ultimata triumph of the people. • Speaking of Proadinin. IM has hitherto been confined in the Conciergerio, which is the prison attached to the Palace of Justice, and is principally used for the confine. ment of those who are undergoing their trials. Within its walls were confined many of the prisoners during the revolution, and you can still see the gateway where the guillotine carts received the victims of the reign of terror. Maria Antionotte. and Elizabeth, the wife 'and sister of Louis XVI.. and still later, Robespiere himself, were oc- ,cupants of this building. which possesses so many mourn ful associations. . Another sad reminiscence is, that from the tower of this prison *as given the response to the signal for the massacre of St. BartholomeW's Eve. The signal was given by the bell MTh° Church 'St. Germaitis Apxerrois ‘ etbich still etapdq, Near the Louvro and t one of the windows of this palace Charles IX. is to t t. have stood and watched the massacre. The village of St. Denis stands about six miles tare - of 'arils, aid is another of the interesting placer io nei • borhood. Its celebrity consists in the chapel, ete., for eateries the kings and queens of France have b., interred. A chapel was built here about 2.50, and the sixth century occurred the first burial of a mositt. of the royal family. Upon the breaking entef the rers, lution the remains were removed and thrown into ;L e trenches near the church. The tombs, which were re. uable as works of art. were brought to Paris and a dere, passed to destroy the chapel, which, however, was sot dyne. In 1806 Napoleon ordered the church to be rt. paired, and selected the vault of the Bourbons as sepv . „ chre for himself and family. Since then 18,000,09) francs have been expended upon the structure, and e s , ' it is every way worthy of being called scßoyal Chapel, whether you regard the splendid sculpture which adon is it eXternally, or the magnificent decorations of its ire s . rine. The organ is the largest in France, and is seldom played. - On the left side of the church-stands the mon uments of Louis XII. and Henry 11., with their queens, and opposite these is that of Francis I. and Claude, hi, wife, which is one of the richest of the collection. EL figies of the King and Queen, in white marble, rest upo n a slab of black, which is supported by a basement, va s , k elect with bas reliefs representing the battles of Mariga sa k and Ceriseoles. Above rises en arch_supported by sir. teen columns, and this in turn supports au entablaile s which is richly sculptnred, and upon which rests fire statutes, viz; Francis 1., Claude and their three children. The windoWs.of the chapel are all ejained glass, and each represents some interesting event in the history of each monarch in connection with the church. The altar is the same before which Napoleon contracted his mar. riage with Maria Louisa. Beneath ars the Wee, and here, at least, ono feels that monarchs are on a level With other men.l Louis XVIII. was the last King who was buried here mid perhaps will close tfie list. , The road to St. Dennis is lined on each side with two rows of trees. The ride is a delightful one, foron each side of you stretch the green wheat fields whose beamy is not marred, as with us. by fences. In no place here do you- I =km Lfuel that you are in an old settled country, te es ,upon the high road.' The smooth macadamized flow over which you roll so easily, puts our "corduto)s" to the blush; and then the long arms of the old trees tie -1 side you afford such a pleasant shade in a warm day that one cannot but wonder why our people do not imitate the Europeans in this particular at least. Of course. where there are no fences live stock are not allowed to ..run," but are raised in enclosures. Cattle are fed during the summer upon millet which is mowed every day, and I must say that no butter can ilia superior to that sold in Paris. This necessity of raising animals without pas. lure, of course makes them dearer than they otherwise would bo. From this morning's papers, I learn that the police is still waging war upon the Republican papers, not allow ing them to be sold in the streets as are the goveranteui journals. The proscribed papers are determined that the people shall road them if they choose, and - to carry their determination into effect, they offer to receive subscribers by the week and deliver the pliers to any address, thus adapting themselves to the means of the poorest. Immense preparations are being made to celebrate the anniversary of the Republic, on the 4th of May. Lon year there was a review• of all the troops in the city—then amounting to more than 100,000 men—butthis year there will not be so much military display, because goVerument doe's not feel certain of the troops and, arty demonstration would be particularly unpleasant to the powers that be. Fire works and illumidations however, are to abound, and during the day the large toMI - taint -- at. Versailles are to play—for the purpose probably of taking out of the city as many people as possible. . ' • • Paris is very much like a watering-place as far as re gards the number of strangers who frequent it, and a Large portion of the population gain their livelihood by ministering to the wants of these visitors, whose number has sometimes reached the high figure of 200,000. At present, however, there are, but few, if any more than 50,000, yet this is no trifling' number of mouths to feed, and the Parisians endeavor to make the most out of them, Nearly' every other house is a hotel 'where ono can find rooms to let for almost any price—depending upon the number of stairs you are willing to climb. There is no sociable reading-room as with us, where people may meet and read the jouronle, cud talk politics, but von are _ confined to your chamber or must go to a cafe. in Conse- - Vence of this arrangement you may be under the same roof with the best friend you have and at the same time boignorant of his proximity unless you chance to meet him upon the stairs. This plan, however has it§ advent- loges, for you may eat when and where and ,how you please—accomodating your meals to your pursuits. your appetite and your purse. But with all this freedom there is an absence of that home feeling, which one ei perieines in Yankee land and for which nothing can compensate. The, greatest number of strangers lucre ere. and always have been English—who aro right glad tp avail themselves of the advantages of Paris, %%hilt at the same time they compare everything here unfavorable with England. The 'schools, libraries, and museums. which have been founded and supported at such °elm mense expense constantly attract thousands of foreigners to this city, and the number of Americans, who come is yearly ou the increase. Adieu. DOETELIt. "One Month Later from Europe." This is the imposing head to the following ,paragr?ph in One of our Eastern exchanges. It is certainly impor hint to the American reader: "The Queen of Spain is about to enter the seventh month of her pregnancy, and two physicians, appointed by the chambers, loft Madrid on the .24th ult., to choose, in the mountains of Santander, two healthy nurses to suckle the royal infant." The'Clkeese Trade. As many of our farmers have already, and more are yearly, turning their attention to lba Dairy Business, it has been suggested to us by a gentleman, who has had several yoars experience in tlie buyieg - and selling of the article of Cheese, that t h e following statement relative to the quality of that article that brings the best prices. would be of intet•ist and value to many of our readers. It is en extract Irani a circular of Henry Kemp & Go., 35 Pearl Street, New York: • "The export of cheese to Great Britain wilt reach this year, 12,000,000 lbs., against 15,386,836 in 1848—'43- being a decrease of one-filth. Last year may be consid ered a maximum, unless quality improves, which if it does Great Britain could take double the quantity: as a proof of which, the consumption of the foreign cheese. there in 1831 was only 14,000,000 lbs., and in 1898 bid increased to 48,000,000 lbs., being about 250 per cent. • Tho quality this season has shown an improvement, but only to a moderate extent; still there was great dia. culty in getting a prime article, there being only about 10 per cent strictly prime, and 20 per cent St for profitable shipment to England. However, wo have great depen dance upon American enterprise, and feelconfident that American cheese, as a rule, will in , a few years equal, if not surpass. English. We would caution farmers to bo careful and improve quality, as they may depend up on it that every year there will be a greater difference in price in favor of first class, and parties must get fired or unable to make shipment to incur a Certain and increas ing ratio of loss on-inferior quality. The result of sales in England this year has proven that only one class ems made a small profit, and that inferior has made a great loss; rind wo would suggest to- careless dairy-men and country buyers, that if they do not keep an eye to the quality, they Will certainly find to their cost, instead of a ic. per. lb. being the difference in price between inferior and prime, it will sink down from 2e. to 3., and bo $ drug at that. We have been led to make these remarksas to quality. which may be thought by some too pertinent. The rea eons are, at the opening of the trade, owing to the reduc tion of duty in England and wasteful consumption there. during the railway Mania, the trade was profitable and "all was fish that came in the net," so that in a scarce market en inferior article might pass; but now matters have changed, and the supply both of English and foreign cheese is fully as greet as the demand; th.orefore we-hes itate not in affirming it is only by inproving the quality that the American cheese trade can last, thereby edvan'. ciag the interests of all parties monied. P. B.—Since writing the above we filtve beenli that SOO casks cheat° pre an the way brA from Enghtrik7 being unfit for sale there. which-is a strong cenfirmation ut' our repr4stlis tg . the Integrity of vr4iptioiog quality."
