PARIS RESTAURANTS. --- Old and New—The Loading Cafes in I • IFr•ra the N. Y. Pesti The frequenter oldie Cafe Anglais in Paris would hardly have recognized under the name of "restaurants" the small suite of rooms in the Palais Royal which in 1770, went by the name of "Lamy's." Still here, in this the first restaurant ever established in Paris, one could dine—dine, it is true, without table linen, on an oak table, covered with oil-cloth —but still dine. The fortunes of the restaurants have been very various. Many of those which were celebrated years ago have passed away. The Cate (16 Paris and IsTicolle's have been turned 'into tailor shops. Grignon and Very are no more, and the former, sadly solitary, is now that dreary restaurant called Verey's in Re gent street, London; and so also you may buy handkerchiefs where once stood the Rocher de Cancale. _ TITE CAFE MOTE. New establishments, it is true, have sprung up in these places, and some score of restau rants lays claim to the highest rank. It will be sufficient to mention one or two of these establishments here. The Cafe Riche, in the Rim Lepelletier, kept by Bignon, the elder of the two brothers - who used to keep the Cafe Foy together, has cost over a million francs. The rooms are superb, furnished by Roux with the most magnificent carved tables and chairs and the richest carpets. Bronzes from Barbedienne, walls inlaid with onyx, and plate of surpassing lustre, are illuminated by multi tudes of wax lights. The kitchen is light and airy, and constructed on the best principles. The management is beyond all praise. A model of the cellar was exhibited in London in 1862, and some of the best wines in Paris are to be bad here, especially Leo Ville Baron of 1848, and certain Madeira of an unknown age. A French wit called the Cafe Riche a long time ago, "a sort of economical Cafe Anglais, where you could take friends you didn't care much about." Now-a-days he would have to alter his opinion. , TIIE MAISON PORES. • A near neighbor to the Café Riche is the Iviaison Doree. At the. corner of the Rue Lafitte and the Boulevard de Gaud there used. to be, before the times of railway speculation, a white house, which prospered for many years under the name of the "Cafe Hardy." The brothers Hamel kept it—the same brothers Hamel who kept the great "V& Four du Palais Royal." In the salon there was a silver gridiron where kidneys and boudithv ilichdieu Were cooked before the eyes of expectant guests. In 1811, when the railway mania began, and people thought of nothing but "making haste to be rich," one Lemaire, a contractor, pulled down the old white hciuse ' and erected a palace iu its stead, the ground floor.and entresol of which are occu pied by the restaurant called, on account of its gilded balconies, the Maison Doree—a name not unfrequently changed by liabiti;s to that of Maison d'Or—in allusion to its luxury and long bills. The name of the chef is Casimir, and he is popularly supposed to dress fish better than any one in Paris. The fowls and truffles are unequaled elsewhere, and the butter "pouf• tout faire" costs six francs the kilo. The roasts—cooked before a clear blazing fire— the only one worthy of the presence of a spit—are perfect, the service irreproachable; and the politeness of the attendants lends a charm to the substantial welcome of the admirable dinner. This caff: is patronized by two very different classes—in the daytime one meets sober men of position; in the evening the most gaily-dressed people with out position. The expense is great, but one gets one's money's worth. MM. Verdier, the proprietors, have two cellars, one next to the .kitchen, where Spanish wines, certain kinds of Bordeaux, rum and liquors are stored, and beneath another one, colder and very dry, for the storage of other vintages ; and at No. 12 in the Rue Lafitte is a third. Altogether these cellars contain about one hundred and eighty thousand bottles, varying in pike from two to forty francs, and the "carte des tins" is a list of the most re nowned vintages known. TEE CAFE PERAND. The Cafe Durand, opposite to the Made-• leine, kept by M. Lequen, in respect of de corations, kitchen and cellar, ranks with the foregoing. Of more- sober exterior, it is quieter of a night than its neighbors, and more affected by foreigners. TILE CAFE ANGLAIS. The .Cafe Anglais justifies its name, and the jeu de mots written of it, which may be thus translated!. ,u,lt's,a.rich man that nes to dine at the Cafe Hardy, it's a hardy man that goes to the Cafe Riche, but before entering the Café Anglais one thinks of going to one'a bank— ers." There is no display of gilding here, and the massive mahogany tables, covered only for a repast, bring before you visions of English dining rooms and turtle soup. The cleanli ness is so perfect - that one scarcely - , - -believes oneself in France. But M. Duglere B cookery is French and .delicious, and one knows at once that this is Paris. The society which frequents this cafe is of the best, and even lovers abstain from scratcking SOlll'eltirB of their visits on the mirrors. - At any rate who ever writes on a mirror makes it his own by the act, and has to pay for it. He may take it away it he pleases. The cellar is kept like a drawing-room, and admirably lighted. It is ornamented with vinetrees in iron, with grapes of opal enamel, which, with the large orange tree, with golden oranges in the centre, can be illuminated. Some Russians once desired to dine here, and a long bill they had to pay for their entertainment. • The wines are principally from Bordetnix, M. De Chomme, the proprietor, not being fond of Burgundy,and not understanding how others can like it. Still good Burgundy is to be had. PASPAI:S AND TILE VOISIN Next in reputation to the above-mentioned houses are Pascal's, and the Cafit Voisin, the former being very splendidly arranged, and the latter very simple. Pascal has the best cook; the Cafe Voisin the best cellar, with some Burgundy bought in„ Belgium, which is nothinff b less than marvelous. Merchants and rich country gentlemen go,to Pascal, the successors of Philippe, and high-placed government officials, sober people, eating very little, and spending a good deal—for in stance, paying twenty francs for a bottle of wine with a cutlet—go to M. Bellangt, at the OW.: Voisin. LE3 TROIS FRERES PROVENCATX. A very good instance of the vicissitudes which Paris restaurants undergo is afforded by the history of that renowned establishment "Les Trois Frt" , res Provencaux." Three brothers named Martellll took the house first, and the dinners and wine which they served 'in their three simply furnished, rather sombre looking, softly lighted apartments, were 01' the very best, and enabled them after a while to' retire with ample fortunes. New corners soon succeeded them, also brothers, covered the place with gilding, and ruined themselves and their creditors also. Then came one Col let, who pv , fited by the reckless oatlay of his predecessors. Re made money and sold, the place to aM. Gudin, on whose deith shortly afterwards it was taken by bf. Duglere, the present very able Sri proprietor of the Cafe Anglais, who had then been cook at Baron Rothschild's for titrenty-.five years. Talent, however, is not all that is wanted to keep a restaurant. Luck forsook him- and his partners, and he left, and was succeeded by M. Harre, from Cate d'Orsayrwholailcd also, and killed him self. M. Goyard had now undertaken .the task, and possesses the hope, energy and will which usually give success. The salons of the "Trois Freres" are magnificent, and well suited to expensive banquets and marriage festivals. The charges are,,Aom fifteenfto fifty francs a head, and you may have any quantity of flowers and music; from birds, as well as from musicians. The cooking and wines are excellent, and there is some sherry, discovered somewhere or other by M. Duglere, which has been called "divine:, :MISCELLANEOUS The.Cafe Magny, the Cafe. Foy, •at the corner of the Rue de In Chaussee-d'Antin and the Boulevard, kept by the yminger. Bignon, with what skill Rossini can testify—the two Cafes Vefour, and the Café Janotaet—the re sort of the doctors , and lawyers—complete the list of what may be. called l'argenterie, that is to say, the cafes where the plate is silver. Where Christofle and 3lappin re place Odiot, there is also a change in, the customers—perhaps not always with good reason—but still the difference exists. And yet what better houses are there than M. Tavernier's Café Bortvalet, Where one gets perfect Lafffte of '5l; than Peters, in the Passage Mires, where Americans congregate, and iNdiere there is a cellar of two hundred thousand bottles, comprising every wine in the world; than Verrier's, in the Faubourg Saint Penis, whose roasts are of incredible savor; than the Moulin Rouge in the Avenue d'Antin? The Hotel du Louvre and the Grand Hotel have resaturants known to all foreign ers; but their tables d'hote are beyond the scope of the present article. And yet let us not forget the Hermitage de la cuvee Bergier, at the Grand Hotel. "With wine like that, and bread one might live." Lower California—Rs Character and Resources. Captain C. M. Scammon has made a re port to J. Ross Browne upon the character and resources of the • west ' coast of Lower California, which is condensed by the 'San Francisco /Mikan, as follows : "Captain Scammon says the whole extent of the west coast-,is quite barren, and its ap proaches bold, aCept at particular points. St. Bartolme mid - Magdalena Ray are both excellent harbors, and their entrances are free from all hidden dangers. The latter has an extent of navigable lagoons connected with it of oven one hundred miles, There are many places where anchorage may be found, and roadsteads where a ship may lie and find some shelter from the prevailing coast winds; also numerous islets that afford some con veniences for, shipping. The climate of western Lowe, California is a pleasant one. The principal sources of wealth have been its whale and seal fishing, pa i n° and salt, The salt fields of Ojo Lebte, near the head of Scammou's Lagoon, are capable of supply ing an alMost unlimited quantity of ex cellent salt.' Vessels ; of four hundred tons burthen can find good anchorage within five miles of where the salt can be embarked in lighters of twenty-five to fifty tons, capa-% city.. Several cargoes were brought, to San Francisco a few ears ago but the low price of the article, 'ad e - existence , of supplies. A nearer home, made e trade unprofitable, and we believe it has been abandoned. Several remarkable lap:ions exist along the Coast, the entrances to which are often dangerous, and have been the cause of numerous disasters to shipping. These lagdOns are the resorts of whales, and have been at times the scenes of great activity for whale-fishem When first entered for commercial purposes their waters were alive with whales,:porpoises and fish of many varieties. Turtle and seal basked upon the shores or low islands, and game of many species was so abundant that the 'shoals left bare by the receding tides would be closely covered with geese, duck, snipe and other species of sea-fowl. r• * * * • "Magdalena Bay and its adjacent lagoons. were more largely ,resorted .to fof years by whalers. The bay itself is capacious, sheltered and safe; but the approaches to the lagoons are difficult if not always dangerous,. lying over shoals impassable except at high tide. At low water, says the report from - which we quote, no one would imagine that a vessel of two hundred to three hundred tons could ever get over into the deep water be tween the divides. 'But the whaleman, after contending with the stormy elements and drifting ice of the Arctic Ocean,plies his ship towards the tropics to pass the winter months,. seeking his source of wealth la, a more • temperate elime, with all the determination,' : - energy ''' and - - n-tact characteristic of his calling. Re now finds the object of -pursuit, not in the fathomless blue water, but huddled together iu narrow estuaries, the banks on either halid lined with the evergreen mangrove. Frequently the hollow sound of the spouting whale is heard through the trees, and the vapor ascending -is-seen above them. The vessel is_lightened,; in every possible way, and by dint of rimning out anchors, heaving, hauling, grounding; and listing, the ships cross the divides, and the whaling is pursued as though no unusual difficulties had been Overcome, or none were again to be contended with to reach the open sea.' Whalers have ascended this la goon forty miles from its mouth, and then have only been three miles from the shore. The country about Magdalena Bay and its lagoons is generally barren and - uninviting. lts resources arc whales, fish, oysters, clams, muscles and game. The natives:, who come from the interior to trade bring cattle, leather, raw hides, soap, cheese, figs, oranges, dates, pearls, shells, and in some instances silver manufactures; exchanging them for ready made clothing, heavy cotton cloths, calicoes, tobacco and cutlery. They will _ sometimes come forty or fifty miles to exchange a feW ((robes of fruit for necessary articles of family use. The quantity of oil taken from 1851; to 181 1 is estimated at :14,420 barrels; worth about 8::5i 6,375. The annual oil re ceipts from that quarter have fallen off greatly. Quantities of turtle used to be taken in the bay, and some are still brought from there to San Francisco. .. "There are fifteen islands off the west coast of the peninsula. They are generally high and wooded, and from their garniture of, green, have a more inviting look than the mainland. Soine of them afford good shelter for vessels, The highest point on St o , G uwia loupe, one of the largest of the group, is about :1,400 feet about the sea, and covered with the pine and cedros. Goats abound in the ravines, and fur seal and sea elephants once made the island a favorite resort. Some prisoners of state. were once banished here froth Mexico, and a party of miserables— probably the same—were taken off a few years ago by an American vessel which. Chanced to see their signal. Elide Island was covered with' guano till the exhaustion of the supply subsequent to 1857, about twenty-eight thousand tons having', been ob tained altogther. Chester's Island also yielded guano for a few years. Cedros Maud, the 'largest of all, is well known to Californians from the scientific and mining explorations of which it has been the scene. Its mountain peaks are visi ble sixty miles at sea. Its aspect is forbidding. its climate . exceedingly dry, Much of its vegetation 'is peculiar, and has furnished many new species to otanists. ' The, "fay:- fay" tree yields a medicinal gum, Which is made into an ointment with the tallow of the THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.--PHILADF;LP T ITA , TILITRqD4.Y, AUGUST 2,:.),18(17. native goat. A few deer are found. • The island was formerly - a great resort for the hun ters of the seal, sea elephant and otter.,Other islands are the homes of, inno,merale sea - fowls, and have furnished small gnantitieS of guano, but this staple is now pretty \ much exhausted. The whale and seal fisheries, which have been from the beginning monopo lized by Americans, are also nnarly exhausted. On the whole, the western coast of Lower California does not offer much inducement to American enterprise. The interior must he more productive to sustain the numerous herds of cattle that range through the hills and valleys from Cape St. Lucas to San Diego." • - , . the postal Arrangement 'with Great Ltritatn.• The following has been prepared at the Post office Department, namely : ll'hfrea3 ' Article 5 of the new postal convention concluded between the United States of America and the United Kitigdom of Great Britain and Ireland, on the Bth day of July, A.

BALL.—Yesterday afternoon the return game of base ball between the Athletics, of Phila delphia, and Mutual, of New York, was played at the ground, Fifteenth and Columbia avenue. The game attracted an immense crowd of spectators, both inside and outside the inclosure, and It was estimated that not lees than 10,000 persona were present. Notwithstanding this large concourse the best order was preserved, and nothing oc curred to mar the pleasure of the day. The game commenced about three o'clock and closed at seven.

The Commissioner of the General Land Office, in answer to a call for information respectin g the location of Agricultural College and fees to which the Register and Receiver are en titled for effecting locations, has communicated the following: First—Agrieui,turaf,College Scrip may be located in Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska, but not in Michigan, the quantity allowed by law having been reached IL the last-mentioned State. ..

Dilatory Lightning. A London paper thinks the lightning that runs on the telegraphic wires to and from India is getting dreadfully slow "How else can we account for the fact that telegrams dated Bombay, July 8, and July 0, only appear in the London papers of August 5? It would seem that n race had been run between Reuter and the postman, and that Reuter only won by a day; for on August 6 the Indian papers containing details of the intelligence hinted in the telegrams reached London.". There is really noway of accounting for these facts which will take•the blame off the lightning,. unless it is admitted that Reuter is at fault, winch, of course, is not a thing to be named. All Europe staid by Reuter be cauae he so -habitually - misrepresented our Pike. 2d b., 1 5 C.

The Commissioner took time to consider. • GEN. WADE Hamcros, having been solicited by a number of prominilitcitizens for his views as to the duty of the people of South Carolina in re ference to the organization uudenthe military bills, replies in a long letter, arguing against the injustice and unconstitutionality of the pro posed measures. While anxious for restoratton; he prefers military rule to the proffered terms. He instances how reconstruction works in. Tennessee, and refers Co the rejection of the Kentucky representation. and says that if the people accept the situation, they have no guar antee that the State will be re-admitted, unless Radicals are elected, who will not represent the views of their constituents. Ile denies the right of Congress to interfere with the suffrage in the State councils, favors . justice to the blacks, and IS in favor of Impartial suffrage. He advises the people to register, and vote against the conven tion. General t,lrant's oint. Forecast—A Case fa P FErmil the Albany livening Journal. During the extra session of Congress, and towards its close, Giherd Grant was fret fluently upon the floors of both Houses, car t falsity urging members to delay their adjourn ment as long as possible, and make some prevision for a meeting previous to December. He also was strongly desirous that a bill should be passed taking from the President the,power to remove military commanders, natal ithstanding the very great. doubts con cerning the constitutionality of such a mea sure—or, in `filet, the comparative certainty that it would be pronounced Unconstitutional. He gave as his reason for his desires in these matters, his disbelief: that the President would honestly carry out the provisions of the- Military bill, and his fear that adjournment would be speedily followed by a removal of Stanton and Sheridan. Events have shown the wise forecast of General Grant, and , Lahown_that he did not fail to read the purposes of Mr. Johnson cor rectly. Thanks to his influence, in a large degree, Congress will Meet again in Novem ber, and can then proceed to consider the "situation of the cOuntry," and the conduct of the renegade wino disgraces the highest office in its gift. Meanwhile the temporary prefienoe of Grant in the Cabinet, and ins power ,as Commander of the army, will pre vent much of the mischief that might else re sult from the Executive conspiracy to obstruct 'the reconstruction of Southern States° on a loyal basis.
