Tbe Palace or Versailles. The Palace of Versailles sjtanda on the entskirts ofthe town of this - name, anil is one of the most extensive .and mag nificent establishments ofthe character m Europe. It was built by Louis XIV, m the seventeenth century, at a cost of' over two hundred millions of dollars, and, up to the period of the revolution, was the chief residence ofthe Kings of Prance. Louis XIV and his immediate *®ccessors held court here on a scale of unapproachable magnificence, and it is * well established historical fact, that the onerous , taxation incident to the enormous expenses thus incurred, was the. primary cause of the revolution which sent Louis XVI and his un fortunate Queen, Maria Antoinette,, to the scaffold,*, and drenched France in the blood of some of her. best and noblest citizens. It was here that <the royal family were residing when the; revolution broke out, and the balcony is out to visitors from which Louis .XVI., attended by his Queen and chil dren, addressed the infuriated mob, who on the fatal 6th of October, 1789, came to tear him from his palace. In fact, I there is scarcely a room in the entire' palace that has not a' history of its own, but it is entirely unnecessary that wja should go into details here. During the revolution the palace was. despoiled- by the mob] and, but for the interference of Napoleon, it would have been leveled to 1 the. ground, and the property disposed of- Fortunately, however, he had in fluence enough to prevent such an act of vandalism, and subsequently, when he became Emperor, he spent large' sums in endeavoring to restore it to its pris tine splendor. u Versailles is now wholly devoted to the exhibitions of paintings and statu ary, and, when we tell our readers that the palace has a front of over thirteen hundred feet, and is filled from the base ment to the roof with the finest sculp ture and choicest paintings known to ancient or modern art, they will be able to form some idea of the value of the collection. The various great battles and sieges in which France has been engaged from the time of Charlemagne to Louis Napoleon, have all been transferred to canvass, including the memorable cam paigns of the elder Napoleon, the paint ings relating to which occupy a gallery larger than our City Hall. Whatever may be said of the tyranny or ambition attributed to Bonaparte, the French people glory in his achievements, and his name, (and everything con nected with it) is regarded ev6n to-day with the most profound reverence by all classes of the people. Among the 1 liistorical paintings we noticed one re presenting the interview between Wash ington and the French commander just previous to the attack on Yorktown,and in the portrait gallery we saw well ex ecuted portraits of a number of our Pre sidents and leadingstatesmen, including Jackson, Calhoun, Webster and the “ old public fune,” James Bu chanan. There are some fifteen rooms, altogether, devoted to these por traits, and a more interesting collec tion, or one in which the celebrities ■of the last six centuries are so fully re presented, cannot be found anywhere. The statuary is equally fine, but it is unnecessary to notice it further.. The gardens attached to. the palace are remarkable for their extent extraordinary beauty. They are laid out in the most attractive manner, and jare ornamented with statues innumera- ■Jl e< jn bronze and marble, nearly ill of whicll we “life size” and by the best: mastCl'a, In front of the palace Is a. series of magnificent foun tains, the most complete aQti extensive ever constructed, and in the various basins may be seen immense numbers of jjold fish, perch, trout, &e., all of enormous size, and so tame that they almost permit you to handle them. There is a fine park attached to the palace at the extremity of which are two minature palaces known as “Le Grand Trfenon” and “Le Petite Trianon,” the former built by Louis XIV for his mistress,Madame De Maintenon, and the latter by Louis XV for the famous, or rather infamous, Madame Du Barre. Both buildings are filled ■with statuary and paintingß, and are open to the public free of charge. —Paris Cor. Pittsburgh Despatch. ■ Tlie Old brsnUne Convent. The above building, now ÜBed as the, archiepiscopal residence, on Chartres TJrsuline streets, is one of the antiquities of New. Orleans. The chapel attached to it was the first religious edifice that was built in that city or State. The convent has something to boast of besides its educational and religious asso ciations and it was here that for a num ber of years, and until 1834, the Legis lature of the State held its sittings. When itwas built by the French Govern ment, in 1733, it stood in a central part of the rising metropolis. But business Las fled , its immediate quarter, and the Cathedral and Jesuists’ church now draw together the larger throng of the pious. Attracted recently, during a stroll through that portion of the city, by the sight of its slate colored roof, Its time stained walls, and the general air of antiquity that pervades this range of buildings, we ventured to penetrate within the high enclosure that , zeal ously shuts the grounds from the vfilgar gaze. We were politely welcomed : by the concierge who occupied two' rooms at the entrance, the existence of which latter we had not suspected. ■ We found ourselves in a garden, and passing through the main building, beheld another of still larger extent, in which, doubtless, the grandmothers of many of our.readers played as children. In the rank .growth of the artificial trees and plants, some of which, it isnot too much to suppose, have been here for nearly a hundred and fifty years, and with the branches of the willow, althea, fig tree, and the leaves of the banana, which have grown m wild luxuriance, the walks have become almost impassable. A row of mulberry .trees near the outer wall screened the inmates.from. the. view of : the neighboring houses, and rendered the .place as isolated and retired- for the nuns and their pupils as the building the latter at presentoccupy. Still, we pre sume that it was with a view to escape horn worldly influence that, induced . to ' dispose. of the building and grounds in 1829, and move to the neigh of.th,e!<3arraeks - But the prin v.of il ? tere ® t abol “t the grounds inUdinl d^ hap ® 1 ’- un i oubtedl y febe oldest budding there is m the State. Religious service is now performed in a church of more modem origin, and indeed, Ml' of pf ,the .wood work of the chapel’s inte rior ls.in a state of ruin. The flooring has almost entirely rotted away; one or two; pews _ hint at'its former-use, and the general aspect of the interior re THE DAILY EVENING BPXLETIfr i PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27,1866 —TRIPLE. SHEET; minds the observer of Hood’s “Haunted 5 House.” Some . portion of the altar is still remaining, and singularly enough, a fine painting of the Virgin, just above, is butlittlerajured .by time. ■ Otherwise the walls of the building are in good -preservation, and we were pleased to learn that a plan is thought and talked of—as the present church is ' insufficient at times for all of its wor- • shipers—to restore the chapel to the. .use of religion. Re-entering the main build ing, yon mount to the second story (au premiere) by a stair case, bordered with old-fashioned iron railing, and on either side are to be seen the dormitories formerly occupied by the nuns. Bot there are no objects at present in the building which recall the presence of awoman, and the furni ture generally is remarkable for its sim plicity. In this connection it may not, perhaps, be inappropriate to remark that the buildings are now under the charge of the vicar general, Rev. Father Gilbert Raymond, who repre sents the archbishop during his tem porary absence. . A valuable theological library, with the works of the Fathers, Meditations,Problems, Demonstrations; Evangelique, Vie des Saints, Lettres Edifiants—we glanced at before leaving, and were also permitted to. Bee the last report of the vicar general. From it we learned that there are now 132 of the resident Catholic clergy in this city, 14 asylums and hospital, 14 con vents, 30 academies and schools, and about seven or eight thousand pupils of both sexes; and in the whole State 86 churches. j Taken as a whole, the old convent is in good repair; the walls are still of great strength, and the building is likely to remain for many years to come, a solid monument of the olden time. — JST. O. Orescent. ! English Fox Hunting. An English magazine discourses as follows onfox hunting: One of the great est charms of fox hunting undoubtedly is, that it disposes of all the dirty wea ther which goes to make up three fourths of an English winter. Wet and drizzle, and muggy fog,'(the characte ristics of our brumous and insular cli mate, according to numerous French au thorities,) are the capital on which it trades. To the hunting mau a rainy morniDg in winter, which to most other country folk can promise nothing better than a long yawn with book or news paper in hand, and a prospect over a mi serable stretch of sodden country,means sport, and society, and enjoyment. It is nothingto himthattheground rides sad dle-girth deep, and that he is splashed with mud from head to foot, so long as the scent is good. He will only enjoy the more by contrast the charms of his own fireside, when he has cast his slough, and makes his appearance in the draw ing-room before dinner, hungry, and happy, and a little tired.. This, indeed, to my mind constitutes one of the prin cipal benefits which accrue from fox hunting considered in an ethical light. It enables certain rich people occasion ally to realize some of the conditions of poorer humanity, to feel themselves, if only for a short time, to be men, andnot only lords or squires or great merchants and manufacturers. When he gets ofl his horse, after a long wet day in the clays, my lord is very much in the same draggle-tailed condition in which his laborer Hodge is, just emerging from the "oozing ditch, in which he has been engaged for some hoars plash ing a fence. The hardness which it necessitates, together with a small amount Of danger that accompanies it, takes fox-hunting out of the category of tame sports—such as battue shooting, fpr example; than which I know not any pmusement more despicable and inane. And one of the least favorable signs-of the times, to my mind, is the increasing fondness of the noble and wealthy for this latter sport, if sport we must call it. For the spirit of civiliza tion and refinement which has exorcised from the higher ranksof the community drunkenness and swearing, and that roughness which still had something of hardihood in it, is not an unmixed gain to society, if the English mind is to be emasculated thereby, and, losing its coarseness, is to lose also its manliness and self-reliance. Scriptural Quotations. - A New York correspondent of the Chicago Tribune , writing a sketch of Rev. E. H. Chapin, tells this story: “After reading half a dozen notices from the pulpit, he paused a moment, threw both hands upon the stand, hold ing the closed hymn-book in one hand, with a forefinger marking the place, and with just the least bit of humor in his manner, made another announce ment. He had received an anonymous letter during the week, He did not usually notice such things, blit this was courteously wordecfand appeared to be sincere in its character. It contained a request, he said, that he should preach from the text: ‘Thus saith the Lord, let us eat, drink and be merry to-day, for to-morrow we die.” ‘I should be happy,’ he continued, ‘to preach from this text if it were in the Bible, but it isn’t there. It is not recorded that our Lord ever made a remark anything like this, and lam sure he never did. Paul quotes some such expressionfrom one of the old heathen philosophers, but our Lord taught a different doctrine. And now,’ he concluded, after hesitating a moment, ‘if any member of my congregation has had anxiety or trouble with this text. I hope it will at once be dismissed, for there’s no such text in the Bible—no such command or permission in our Lord’s teachings.’ ” Dr. Chapin’s correspondent, who seems'to have had, a confused memory, made a curious inversion of a passage which occurs three times in the Bible. The correct readings are these: IsaidH xxii 13.—And behold joy and gladness, slaving oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine; let ns eat and drink, for to-morrow we shall die. . Ist Corinthians, 32.—lf after;the man ner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and. drink, for to morrow we die. . JLuke xxi. 20.~Anci I will say to iny.soul, Soul thou hast much goods laid up for many yeare;take' thine, ease, eat, drink and be merry. _ But God saith unto him,Thou fool, this night thy son! shall be required of thee; then .-which shall these thingsbe thou hast provided? Scriptural quotations are frequently inverted in this way, and passages from Shakespeare are often credited to the Bible: but how many - casual readers would believe that the phrase “escaping by the skin of the teetl}” is from the Bible? It occurs in Job, chapter 19, verse 20, and the correct reading is: “My bone cleavetb to my shin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.” B. —w. y. Post. -- Mexican Alfalrtt. -New Orleans, . 00t.526.-jrThe following : important letter appears this',evening: :. Bead Quarters, ' Department op the Gulp, New OBLEANS.Oct. 23,—General I am satisfied that there is-only one way in which the state of affairs on the Rio Grands can be settled, and that is by giving the heartiest support to the only Government in Mexico recognized byonr own,- the only one whioh iB really favorableto us.

Whan this is established, he says he will send a minister to Washington. ; Hintaff, and a number of officers who have been awaiting him, will accompany him Tbe Vintage of France. [From Gallgnanl’s Messenger, Sept, U.] Most unfavorable accounts of the vin tage are being received from the wine growing countries of Burgundy and the centre of France. In the former district immense ravages were made three days back by a severe hailstorm. At Dijon the effects were scarcely felt, but at about three miles from the town, on the road to Beaune, the damage commenced. From there to Marsaunay the vines are completely cut to shreds; on several points there remain on the plants neither leaves nor fruit. Nults and the neigh borhood, however, escaped. At Beaune the hail fell with great violence for about ten minutes, and the stones rattled on the pavement with a noise equal to that of a park of artillery passing tnrough the town. The storm extended from Beaune to Auxay by way of Volnay and Po mardwitharamification toGigny,Cherey and Vignoiles. The top of the hill side, however, suffered less than the lower part. Although uo accounts of hailstorms are received from the Beaujolais, the vintners complain greatly of tne weather during which the fruit has ripened, and declare that whatever improvement may take place between now, and the period for gathering, the wine cannot be otherwise than bad. The maturity is unequal, and rot has shown itself in the lower vines. Oh the hills the fruit is both too close and too abundant, which are two causes unfavorable to good quality. Effects of Emancipation in Russia. A St. Petersburg correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette, writes as follows : “The continuation of the old despotic system of the Czars, in the midst of the far reaching social reforms introduced among classes of the population who are totally unprepared for them, has produced a state of anarchy in Russia which it is difficult for those to realize who only see what the government chooses to show to the foreigner, but are ignorant of the evils which nnaermine its power. It is scarcely possible to de scribe in terms too strong the multipli city of evils under which the country is now laboring. Fourteen governments in the centre of Russia, representing a population of twenty-fivp millions of inhabitants, are almost without any food for man or beast. This result Is not due to any calamity, for the crops have been satisfactory, but to the inert ness and negligence of the peasantry, Who, having no one to urge them to work, have giveri themselves up to their besetting vice of drunkenness. Railroads In India. [From the Inn don Globe, Sept. 15.] The two lines of railway to complete the Indus Valley route, so long advoca ted by Mr. W. P. Andrew, are about to receive the sanction of the Indian auth orities. The first line, well known as the missing link from Kotree to Mool tan, will place in railway communica tion the Punjaub and Scinde lines. The other lines, no less important in a politi cal and strategic point of view, extend ing from Lahore to Peshawur, will join both Calcutta and Kurrachee with the Kyber Pass, the latter being six miles distant from Peshawur. This is the best answer that can be given to those who attach so much' importance to the movements of Russia towards our north western frontier. The Pleasure of Living in Cen tral America.— A correspondent, writing from Aspinwall, says: Every thing is so cheap down here, it seems almost as if I had gone into another world. For instance, we buy very good cigars for $1 20 per hundred, and very nice Havanas for $4.-- Everything else is ■as cheap. Even greenbacks can be bought for 80 cents, and then gold and silver are as plenty as fractional cur rency or tax collectors at the North. I assure you it is almost fairy land. The military, however, rather makes me smile, after having jseen a sailor with his fists whip five fully armed soldiers who attempted to arrest him. Singular Notions of the Marriage Relation,— The Chicago Republican says a man who said he was thirty-five years old called on a justice last night, asking to be married to a girl of seventeen years, The justice asked the usual questions, and re ceived correct answers until the following was propounded : “Have you, ever been married before?” “yes.’,’ "Is your wife still living?” “Yes.” “Are you divorced from her?” “No.” “Where is she?” “T sold hen” “How much did you get for her?” “None of your business.”* ‘ “Well I oan’t many von if your wife is living » “But she liked a younger feller better than shedid mefand was willing to be sold for $2OO if he bought her, so I let her go.” During the , flag presentation to rth e Zouave Volunteer Company of freedmen at Charleston, on Thursday, General Scott' arrested those wearing shoulder straps and side-arms; in violation of the general orders of the department, which prohibit military organizations of any kind in South Carolina Mere Disasters by Sea.

Bell Barnard, from Savannah for. Philadelphia. The vessel was a total wreck, and no person was on board. On the 23d the Achilles met the. schooner Lewis S. Davis, of Brookhaven, Conn.,from Washington «for New York, to distress, all hands beings sick, and the vessel leaking badly.... The.AchiUes towed her to Beaufort. The Tallahassee Floridian Says that no thing has been heard of the Rate Merrill, 'which'left New York, a month since, for that port. Relic of the Ancient Mrish.— A re markable.Btone implement, formerly in obs as a.hammer,or possibly a war-club, by the; ancient inhabitants of Ireland, was recently; raised from a trench in a field in Ballyna-, maddy. It is six inches in length, four and a half inches to breadth across the centre,! and: three and a half inches; thick. It is shaped like a wedge—rounded at one end: ana tapering to.an edge on the other; and; has a hole two inches in diameter, evidently intended for a handle, bored quite through the centre of the block. It weighs six and a half pounds* and there is little doubt that it was constructed many centuries ago.

In one of these battles his. nearest comrade was in stantly killed by a cannon ball while fight ing by his aide. , , Am XBu JJMLSVB CHOICE SKATS Te anplaoaiof amnssmgnt may bad ay to a, o’clock any evening, bmui MF-RICAN ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
