Tea Immortal oratorio of The Creation is to be per
lormed to-night at Horticultural Hall by the Handel
and Haydn Society under peculiarly attractive circam
•stances. Madame Parepa will sustain the soprano
.solos, supported by Mr. George Simpson; tenor, and
Mr. A. R. Taylor, bass, both of whom are now estab-
Dished favorites in Philadelphia. The fall chorus of the
Society and Sentz's grand orchestra have thoroughly
rehearsed this great workof Haydn, and we shall pro
bably have it performed better than ever before in
Philadelphia.
We desire to urge upon the directors of the perform
ance the great importance of punctuality and prompt
.ness. Large numbers atteruLthese concerts from the
aural districts, who are obliged to reach the several
railroad depots in time for the late trains, and if fifteen
Or twenty minutes are lost at the opening of the con
cert, many may be compelled to leave before its con
clusion, and thus not only disturb the audience, but
render themselves unfairly subject to'beleg classed in
the category of those who do not know how to behave
themselves at places of public amusement.

[Correppondence of the Philndelphfti Evening Bulletin:l
PARIS, Friday, Nov. Bth, 1.407.—We breathe
more freely again after an interval of deep sus
pense. This morning the news from all quarters
is favorable to the preservation of peace. The
J./sniffer itself begins its daily bulletin with the
announcement that "the news from Italy is
satisfactory;" and, by way of practical comment
on that declaration, announces further that the
,Emperor has countermanded the departure of
the 3d division of the expeditionary corps from
TOulon. The confimation of the complete de
feat of Garibaldi and his irregular forces,
mentioned in my last letter, will have long since
reached you. With divided feelingsof regret and
satisfac,tion, it Is still, on the whole, impossible
not to recognize that what has taken place is the
best thing that could happen for Italy under the
circumstances. Garibaldi's task,evidently,was not
to settle the Roman question, but to revive it. In
the latter, he may still boast of having succeeded
as completely as he has failed, and must have
failed in the former. But as long as ever he was
in the field, between the two intervening armies,
the extreme peril of a collision between the French
and Italian forces was imminent;and as his action,
even though sticcessful, could not possibly have
been decisive of the question in !dispute, the
sooner hisl,resesce and the danger it involved
were removed the better. The next step has been
the withdrawal of the Italian army within its
frontier', accompanied by a civil intimation to
France te do the same, and a reminder to her'of
her promise to do so on the restoration of order.
Here again the King of Italy has given a proof
of that strong, calm good sense which distin
guishes him whenever he takes the reins into his
own hands, and which is the more
remarkable in a man who is so
notoriously impetuous and hot-headed on the
field of battle. Having saved his own and the
national dignity by the bold step of entering the
Papal states along with the French, he wisely
refrains from pushing matters to•extremity, and
feels that he can now retire with credit, and
even steal a march upon his rivals, by "inviting' ,
them in their turn to "right-about face," is
redemption Of their pledge to that effect.
- France declared she would"retire,',?
official gazette of Florence,,t_lwhen_the Plontill4l
territory was freed from its invaders, and we 15e1'
lieve in that declaration." This is the right po
ia tion for Italy to take up, and France can hardly
avoid following Suit.
There are reports this mo9,Litr, of serious
turbances at Florence, Genoit-., andgurin, brit
they are not generally credited.' The Italians,
with their shrewd esprit politique
,(in which
they arc already ages in advance of the French),
see that their King has done the best that cir
cumstances permitted, and acquiesce in It. But
they will bide their time, and unless I mistake,
will one day make Napoleon rue having by his
unwise intervention (another of his-blunders)
alleaated such a friend as Italy might have
been to bim, for the sake of attempting
vainly to conciliate such Irreconcilable
enemies to his family and pretentious as
the legitimists and . ultramontanes. Other
good news from Italy relates to finance,
that all-important point in her re-estabilsbnient.
The sale of ecclesiastical property promisee to* ,
a success. Nearly 300 lots have been put up in
all parts of' the kingdom, and have found ready
purchasers at prices much above those set on
them. Twenty lots in Florence, offered at 281,-
850 francs, brought 591,370 francs. Twelve lots at
Bologna, put up at less than 100,000 francs, sold
for near 350,000 francs. At Genoa also the price
was more than doubled. And this in the face of
such events as are now occurring. It can scarcely
be doubted that prices will rise still higher under
the prospect of-peace.
There is also good news for peace from Ger
many. M. do Benet appears to have announced
officially to his diplomatic agents that "France
and Austria will do nothing to interfere with the
development of the Confederation of Northern
Germany." Thus Napoleon has endeavored to
amend in Paris the other blunder he so lately
made at Salzburg. He is evidently struggling
hard to get into a position for meeting the Cham
bers on the 18th inst., and to be able to make ids
opening speech something better, than a mere
confession of failures. The temper of the coun
try may be conjectured from an election ad
dress just put forth by the candidate for the im
portant department of Loir-et-Cher, who
recommends himself ,to the constituents
by saying: "Let the Government renounce its
baleful project for the army, the first result of
which would be to carry off from commerce and
agriculture so many arms which they could bet
ter employ." The candidate further demands
liberty of the press, right of public meeting, and
above all, a "well-defined policy," whose princi
pal object shall be the preservation of peace.
Large assemblages of people recently took
place before the tomb of Manin (the hero of
Venice), in Pere la Chaise, and afterwards pro
ceeded to that of Caviiignae l on both of which
hundreds of crowns of inanortelks were de
posited. The assemblage having assumed the
aspect of a political manifestation, anOttered
cries of lire r Italie! ii bas rinterrentidn! the polkee
interfered, and more than twenty persons were
arrested.
oelßliarp
The French Moniteur, commenting on political
affairs in America, and the recent elections there,
before the result, just announced, of those in
New York, says that "every one is aware of the
considerable part played by Pennsylvania in the
Union, a State which, leaving to New York
its commercial and financial preponderance, lays
claim to high moral and political hifinence, and
seems to be considered as the regulator of pub
lic opinion throughout the Confederation."• The
Moniteur considers that "the result of the 'eke:
Lions there in ‘favoi• of the conservative party
demonstrates a remarkable , change in the spirit
of the country, which, after being for some time
Imbued with radical •dnetrines, has lio`w
come round to more conciliatory and mod- ,
crate ideas." Every one, it continues, "is struck
with this change of opinion, which indicates
clearly how much the constitutional and pm
dent policy of the President gains ground every
day, and into what discredit are falling the revo
lutionary tendencies manifested by the Con
gress." The same journal alludes to the great in
terest which attaches to the new marine cable in
tended to unite France and America directly,
"without rendering those countries tributary to
England." The continually increasing commer
cial relations between Prance and the United
States demand, it says, such a _means of inter
communication. And, the Moniteur cites with
pride the recent voyage of the Palen) from
Brest to New York, in eight days, trenty-one
hours from quay to quay, tia go3at honor. for.
the French commercial navy. •

he accuses partly of poisoning the public with
had chocolate, at On& franc per pound, or cheat-'
ing them -by making them pay five francs #or
good. .The best quality, he asserts, made fry
the cocoa of Caraceas, ought never to be mo
than 234 francs. As to the one-frane chocolate,
ho declares it to be nothing but a compound ofco
con, from which all alimentary qualities have been
extraeted,and meal colored with olls,and often in
ferior and less wholesome Ingredients. "Why," he
asks, "does not some honest dealer introduce the
practice of selling us chocolate, on the outside
cases of which shall be marked the preparation of
the Ingredients of which it Is compounded, so
much sugar, so much cocoa, so much
vanilla, so much cinnamon? We should at
least know what we were buying ? " M. About
seems to despise the English for their neglect of
the above favorite French beverage. "The
English," he says, "spend only 3,800,000 f. a year
on,chocolate, and 183,000,000 f. upon tea!" Do
'their doctors approve of their thus "drowning
their food in torrents of aromatised hot water ? "

LIMA, Oct. 2e, le67.—The scenes of scandalous revolt are
not yet ended with us; in Trujillo the civil guard mu
tinted against their chiefs, and killed Colonel Zavala, the
Commander of the Department: a sufficient number of
troops ware at once forwarded when the news of this and
other outrages reached Lima. Prado's army had, by last
advice*, arrived within fourteen leagues of Arequipa,
the vanguard being only five leagues from that place, and
as con tes te d have strongly fortified, tneanselvea, a
hard straggle must be expected. The late out
breaks in the Southern provinces have been quelled by the
authorities; andinthe Norththe revolutionists - have not
met with ranch engoarepment. Two companies of for
eign volunteers have been formed in Callao, for the sake
of guarding against a repetition of the scenes of plunder
ing lately rergastrateL The siege of Areqnipa
is ox
pected to begin ae soon as the troops can reach the place ;
the sandy region which they have to cross greatly - im.
movements rogress of their march. and Colonel Prado's
meet therefore be slow.
The following is the rather significant decleratlon of
the Acting Pre si dent of the Republic to the Diplomatic
Come. Lie says:
"My constant wish as a ruler is that Peru should be in
peace with all the nations of the world, and as a citizen,
to be the friend of every one of the Representatives pros.
ent, as I have already the pleasure of being so of some of
them. In the present age, in which all minima strive for
prooperity, the basis of which is peace everlasting, wars
arc impossible. If Spahs wish to renew her relatiou
with the allied Republics, this government will offer the
greatest facilities, and use every effort to incline their
minds towards so great a purpose, and resolve in common
accord that which may be most suitable to the interest of
all parties, since the cause is solidary.”
lie also advocates the rigorous prosecution of the cam.
paign, and in spite of the deplorable state of the country
the Government has adopted measures worth men.
atoning A very rich quicksilver mine in the Department
of 11 u ancavelica will be rented by. the Government, and
is sure to yield a good profit to an enterprising mining
company. Some gild mines have also been discovered in
the mountains of Chanchamayo, accesaiblo to emisran:s
y the Amazon river, as well as by way of Callao. and
very fertile ground in its immediate vicinity is offered
gratis to miners. There is at present a very flourishing
German colony in said place, and the climate is exceed
ingly salubrious for the constitution of Europeans. The
guano consignees have loaned the Government three mil.
lions of dollars, and are said to be willing to furnish any
amount required for public emergencies. One hundred
thousand marks of silver, the property of private persons,
have been ordered to be coined at the Government mint,
tor expense of the latter, which has the right of charging
three per cent. us expo. t duty on bullion or coin.

The Spanish Goiernment has called its Admiral and
the greater part of their squadron back for an emergency
in case of difhcaltiee at inane. The contract of the Gov
, rnment with the Pacific Steam Navigation Company for
a steamer line, by the way of the Straits ,of Magellan, is
soon expected to be approved by Congress, and become
law. This line will greatly facilitate the trade with
P.m ope and the east coast of . South America, and
thus offer a full compensation for the
:160,000 imposed on the. National Exchequer
for the establishment of the line. The first cargo of Mc-
Alone guano was taken at an elevation of about one
thousand feet above the level of the sea, and is of an ex.
ceptional quality, but the succeeding layers are expend
to bemuch better. Indian depredations and robberies are
reported from the vicinity of Mendoza;.the savages have
lately plundered the trains near the line of the Argentine
provinces. The drought and scarcity of food reported in
my last still continues in the Southern provinces; the
poor ansaufferine very much on, account of the exceed
ingly high prices of breadstuffe and meat, and it will soon

Bloody Altair in Nashville.
[Yrom the Nashville Banner, November 14.7
-.One of the most bloodthirsty and unproviked deeds of
violence ever committed in this vicinity occurred last
evening at a loupe of ilifarne, west of Ash Barracks,
known as the 'Little Barracks." alias 'Little Round
Rouse." About five o'clock, Dr. Bogle, in company with
Semler Keith, visited the home of a prostitute named
Emma Ram for the purpose of dressing a wound in her
hand occasioned by an accidental pistol-shot some time
since. While the doctor was attending to the wants
of his patient, who was at the time lying ill in bed.
two drunken women, Christiana Halsey and Fanny
Clark, rushed into the room brandishing in their hands

as lying in bed. In less than five minutes they had
inflicted tenghattly wounds on the helpless woman,
cutting both of her breasts open, and hacking her arms,

from her bleeding body, they exulted in the belief that
they had killed her, and left her lying in her gore. But for

murderous females were arrested and lodged in the
Workhouse.
The present week has been an exciting one at Chambly,
on account of the discovery of a murder which has been
committed there. -The facts are mainly these: On the
evenixg of the lot, instant, Gustave Franchere, a store
keeper in that village, aged aboutithirty. and unmarried,
left home and was last seen at a public house in Richelieu,
on the opposite aide of the river, about two o'clock on the
morning of the, 2d. instant. As hie absence from
home for several' days at a time was not unusual, no
suspicion was aroused till last week, and then by
the finding of his hat and slippers on the bank near
the miltpond, it was at once said that he was drowned.
The pond was drawn off,but no trace of his body had been
found up to yesterday. On Sunday last a girl in ChatublY.
named Margaret Lacoste, aged about eighteen. re
marked casually, while vis iting friends, that the body
would not be found on the other side, for the man had
been murdered, and she knew , in whose house. Tha mat

which house has borne a doubtful .reputation, and when
admitted some words passed between him and the old
woman, when she struck. him with a poker and felled

taking $l2 50 from hie pockets, the four members of the
Demers family carried the body out and threw it into the
mill-pond, the girl Lacoste being left in the house to wipe
up the blood. AU the persons implleated have confessed
more or less, - and though they do not agree fully as to the
place where the body went into the water, they admit it
did go in, and probably before the man was dead. AU

The death of the distinguished. American poet, Fitz-
Greene lialleck, took plaeo on Tuosday night, Nov. 19, at
his residence in Guilford, Conn. Mr. liana& was one
of the earliest poetical writers of the preeent century
who arose to fame in this country, and togetker with
Paulding, Dana, Bryant, Percival, Drake, Bands
and others of inferior note, gave a powerful
impulse Ito the higher manifestations of
American literary art. Of that brilliant company of
Poets, Mr. BaLleck was among the Mat survivors, and bis
death at a ripe old age breaks another ink between the
present and the past, Although living of late yearn in
great i etirement, and seldom permitting any new produc
tion of his pen to see the light, he has not been lost eight
of by the generation now on the stage, and Me poetry
continues to be cherished as a proud memorial of national
genius and cultivron. .
Mr. 'hillock was ern in the rural Connecticut village
where he has justdied at a little past the age of seventy
two. The early part of his life was devoted to mercantile
pursuits. For many years he was a clerk in the house of
the famous Quaker financier, Jacob Barker. According
to his own expression in one of Ma poetical eon•
ties, he was aho engaged In the cotton trade
and sugar line." He afterward entered the em
ployment of Mr. John Jacob Astor, who re
posed great confidence in his business capacity, and
naiued him in his will as one of the trustees of the Astor
Library. it is nearly. twenty years since he ceased to
take any active part in financial and cominerciel pin.

Guilford, though making frequent visits to New York,
and scarcely ever failing to be present at the annual cele
bration of the Fourth el July - .
The earliest of Mr. Balleckes collected poems was the
lilies to "Twilight," which appeared in the Evening Poet
of this city in 1818. Soon after, the humorous satires,
Vi hich obtained great celebrity as the "Croaker Patient,"
written jointly , by himself and Mr. Drake, were
published in the same journal. The death of

James E. Shepherd, who nbot hie wife in this city last
week, and who wan arrested in Canterbury, Conn.. on
Monday, reached this city yesterday by the half-past two
P. M. train from Norwich. Quite a large crowd of spectu
tors aesecueled at the depot to see him, and the police
office wan also crowded. Shepherd apeared perfectly
cuol and unconcerued,and bore the ecrnti ny of the curious
crowd without embarrassment.
Be was arraigned before the police court during the
afternoon, M. J. McCafferty, Eeq., appearing an hie cum
nal. Shepherd pleaded not guilty and waived an exami
nation, and was fully committed to await the action of
the Grand Jury on the third Monday in December. He
wen taken to Jail hut evening.
Shepherd appear, quiet, and seems perfectly willing to
convene in regard to the murder, and does not manifest
any cuticular emotion. He nays it is all the work of his
wife's mother and family. who poisoned his wife's mind
againet him and separated them. He said he killed her
hecaune be loved her more than hie own life; that her
friends would not let hcrlive with him,and rather than see,
hullo the posnession(uf another he killed her. His intention
wan. if he had found her alone, to kill her and lay down
beside her, with her arms around him, and ahoot
self; hut, raid he, "it would have done no good; her
friends would not let me sleep in the same grave with
her if I had; they spite me too much for that, no it makes
no difference." lie exprensen regret that he did not kilt
himself instead of going away after the murder, Ile says
he bee never spoken a hard word to hie wife, and has al
ways supported her when he had means, and that she left
him against her own will.
He said, ".lhaye (10E10 what I wanted to her, and now I
suppose the law will do - irhat it wants to with me." He
is very severe in his conversation in regard to the mother
of hie wife, saying that when he is dead he will come
hack and haunt her; that the shall have no peace on
eartt W hen told that If he is hung it cannot be for a
year after he is convicted, he said, regretfully, "then she
will have a year of peace, but when I am dead I will
haunt her."
DC NAYS that on Friday night, after the murder, be
walked to Oxford Plain and slept in a saw Mill just below
the plain, near where the road goes under the railroad.
Ile ate a little on Saturday morning, at Mr. 'Watson'e, in
Webster, and slept that and the next night in barns. lie
also ate a little on Sunday morning - hut with these two
exceptions be had no food from Friday morning till on
Monday after he Was arrested. Sle had no definite end
in view in traveling, but went first one road and then
another, just as it happened.
lie does not appear like a desperate man,and those who
have known him for years say he is not "smart." He can
be easily imposed upon, and is usually goodiiatured, but
has a subtle spirit at bottom, and le inclined to revenge.
He was in the 15th Regiment, and on hie return from the
war was married to a woman named Bonzey, from Mill
bury, but left her almost inunediately. and subsequently
obtained a divorce. He has been twice marrie.d to hie
and. taking all his matrimonial adventures. has had

Chief Justice Chase leaves this city on Friday to at

Louie Napoleon, resulting in an arrangement W.th, all the
principal Y.Were—Geimany. RUYAN. and , England alone

Justice great satisfaction. There is already much talk
that Congress, during the routing session, will Join

piece as the basis of the new system- On this
subject the Chief Justice suggests that a twenty
franc piece, corresponding to the French Napoleon, should
be called a "Union" and a ten franc piece an "Eagle."
The reason he assigns f.ir the adoption of this notnenela•
Lure, are that the word "Union" would recognize the
uniform currency in force by all the groat Powers o' the
world, and the Eagle figures prominently as a repre

scarcely room fora man to stand on either side of the
track, while in some places there ia not an inch of
room. These workmen were engaged at one and of the
old bridge, yesterday morning, at work, when allegro
boy employed by them, who was about the CelErt3 of the
bridge, started on a band-car toward them. There being
an incline of several feet between the centre and end of
the bridge, the boy found that he could not restaln the
impetus of the car, and he shouted for the men to get out
of the way. Two of them were able to do so. standing
on tiptoe, barely escaping being thrown off. The
third man, however. named George Cloud,
was at a point on the bridge where the track was the
only f osthold. He was unable to move and !called the
boy to atop. It was too late. The car rushed onward,
knocking the unfortunate man off the bridge. He fell
