(Conespondeace of the. Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.) PA PAS, New Year's Eve, 1867.—1 date my letter for the last time under the old year. But the fan grows fast and furious and the great event of the French year now arrives close upon ns; every one is rushing about, hurry-scurry., anxious that the Important business of to-morrow should be duly put in course of execution, and that bonbons and strfsses should he purchased in time and their safe deliver) provided for by times in the morning. There seems to be a brisk retail trade doing, if one may judge from the throng in the streets, and the dense crowds which muster and jostle one another round the entrances to the fivorite stores. There are some complaints that the grand monde, weary of the long-drawn-out festivities and expense of the past summer, are fighting shy ,of the town, and passing Christ 111a13 week in the country, or along the sunny shores of the Mediterranean: and one or two of our most marked' American notabili ties are certainly still absent in the latter d:rcction, to which the presence of the American fleet and its World4eitowned codirinstader add, this winter, unusual attraction. But still, as I lately observed, the American element musters strong, and no, small portion of the bustle and movement of to-morrow will be derived from its presence in Paris. American ladies will stop at home to receive the congratulations of the sea son from their male visitors, the wife and daugh ter of our minister setting the example, just as it they were living in the Fifth Avenue,-and gen tlemen will find the materials provided them for, making a hundred visits in the course of the day, for all the world as though they were on the other Side of the Atlantic instead of upon this. We arc certainly a wonderful people, wo great Yankee nation, and have flooded this continent of Europe, and taken poissession of all its choicest localities in a way that is perfectly astonishing even to ourselves! Amidst all the merriment and festivity which are going on around us, the tones of the discus sion in the Chamber on the Army bill ring out in harsh discordance with the sound of midnight organs pealing forth p:cans to the Prince of Peace, with the voices of children round the Christmas tree, with the greetings of good-will on the advent of another year. What an exam ple has America set to Europe in the arts of war, as well as in those of peace! When she calls forth her sons to battle, it is really. the cry that "the country is in danger." Salranda est Respublica! The magic word is spoken, and quick as thought her strong battalions shake tho earth with their tread. Thousands, upon thousands of volunteers flock to her standard, and when all is over, "go tack to their homes" (those immortal words spoken In Paris, and never forgotten here), "go back to their homes as quietly as men return from church on a Sunday morning!" How dif ferent is the case here; and what cold and almost revolting calculations one bears in the months of marshals and ministers, of how many men for slaughter the — pnindatiod will "Staudt" how many the govprninent may venture to drag from their hearths without rousing the people to desperation; how long a man in his prime must be kept from marrying In order that he may be less unwilling to be shot l• There is something hardly decent in Marshal Niel's essay on population, and his suggestion whether, after all, the maimed, the lame, the halt and the blind, who are cast out of the horrors of the conscription, were not good enough material to make husbands of! Now the real reason of all these difficulties and calculations of the• government respecting, the army, and the repugnance of the population to fill its ranks, is that there is really no national cause at stake, but only the jealousy of rival princes and governments, determined to out-do each other in their hideous and ruinous arma ments. There is not a sane man in this country who believes that either Germany, or any other nation In the world, dreams of aggression against France on her own territory. Why, then, think the people, are we to be dragged from our homes, and arrayed against those who will not meddle with us if we leave them alone? Why, indeed; and if the majority in the Chamber really represented the country, instead of only the Go vernment, the fitting answer would not be long forthcoming. The new bill,however,has now as good as passed the House, with very slight modifications. On Thursday the amendment proposing to reduce the term of service from nine to eight years was rejected by a largo majority. But the following day that of the majority of the commission, al lowing soldiers of the Reserve to, marry during the last three years, instead of twn.years, of their service, was carried against the government by a majority of 278 to only 11. This last is the only material change made in the proposed measure, and is doubtlees intended by the deputies as a sop thrown out to their constituents, very likely with the secret acquiescence of the govern ment, upon a point which it is known deeply stirs the feelings of the rural districts. • The 11/eel/tar of yesterday announces the ele vation of M. Lo Play, Chief Commissioner of the ,Universal Exhibition, to the rank of Senator. It has been particularly noticed thaton Sunday last both the Emperor and the Empress re- PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1868. ceived, separately - , the Papal Nuncio to long pri vate audiences. The Cardinal de Bonnechose, Archbishop of Rouen, • wrote the other day to M. Thiers, to congratulate and thank him for his speech in de fence of the temporal power. This induced M. Thiers to call upon the Cardinal. After they had conversed together for some time on the subject in question, M. Thiers said : "Your Eminence, I never pretend to have any Faith; that is a gilt I don't possess, But I have always thought that the Catholic organization was a powerful politi cal instrument in the hands of France. And, moreover, having studied hiiitory a good deal in my life, I have alwaYs remarked that any attempt, to swallow the Pope was always followed by a severe fit of indigesition !" And so the Cardinal and the ex-Minister (arcades ambo!) enjoyed the joke, and shook hands and parted. It is said that the ambitious Cardinal numbers amongst the articles of his Faith a belief in the possibility of a French Pope! There is a report that Mlle. Patti (who has just achieved a new success in Ernarri) will shortly be married to a French nobleman, the Marquis de Coax, in Normandy. An important law suit will shortly come on be fore the French eourts, in which the United, States Government claims six Millions of dollars of COnfederate money,lodged in the hands of: French ship-builders, for orders never executed. 31.

A few soldiers of the garrison had died of cholera. _Art , there was quite a panic among the inhabitints in consequence. No cases, however,_ had oc curred outside the : barracks. The divers engaged on the sunken steamer Colum bian had to suspend labor in consequence of the vomito having broken out among them. Four had died of the disease. The steamer South American lost four of her passengers by the same scourge while she lay in quarantine. There were r•no hundred and twenty vessels in port hailing from or bound to New York. The United States sloop-of-war Seminole, also, was in port. She had lobt two masts.

The cortege comprised one hundred carriages, besides quite a large mili tary escort. The music on the solemn occasion was grand. Thetlnt intimation of the recent all defal cation at the City Bank, obtained by the police authorities, was, that a gentleman in some mamer connected with that institution rushed Into headquarters day before yesterday morning, in a state of great nervous excite ment, and,inquiring for Superintendent Kennedy . , was ushered into his presence, when he informed that official that the Directors, in investigating certain books during the previous two days, had discovered a tearful discrepancy in the accounts of Mr. Leverieb, the second teller. This official messenger of the bank enjoined strict silence upon the Superintendent and those who should be despatched to investigate the affair that the public ear, ever ready to listen and the public mind ever willing to cogitate upon such rascality, should not,in this illEtance, be gratified. Notwith standing that these precautions were observed, and the detective sent to "work up" the case was ordered to keep a sealed mouth, the publicity of such a starthng discovery was made soon there after by the gossiping character of certain per sons connected with the bunk. It would seem by their revelations that the continued absence of Leverich from his accustomedAeat, without good and cogent reasons for such conduct, was thought to be slightly suspicious; and, acting upon this suggestion, inquiries were made by order of the bank officers •as to the cause, when they as certained to their great astonishment that he had Lot been home for several days. Suspicions that were but shadows before suddenly partook of the nature of unpalatable reality,and the investi gation above referred to being at once com menced, disclosed the unwelcome fact that the missing teller had qtiletly and in a peculiarly re markable manner abstracted funds of the insti tution to the enormous amount of about .$350,- 020. The consternation of the said officials upon this alleged revelation overwhelmed them, and can be better imagined than described. But little has been revealed in relation to the habits of Leverich, but some pronounce them to have been, by appearances, sober and quiet, while his daily life was of rather an unostenta tious character. Where he has gone to leaving the whirlpool of busy Wall street behind him as a memory of the past, -is at- present quite un known, but some pretend to be full of facts in this particular, and with portentous nods of their heads exclaim, "To Europe! to Europe!" The City Bank, if the -facts of this-case, as alleged, are true, seems to be peculiarly unfortu nate, as but a short time since the adroit forger Livingston victimized them to the handsome tiaure of $75,000 by means of a cheek purporting to emanate from Commodore Vanderbilt, which amount, it will be remembered, he spent in in dulging in the pleasant pastime of buying land in the far West; but fortunately, in this instance, ' for the bank, a greater portion of this amount was recovered by quickly unearthing the forger and prompt seizure and sale of his suddenly ac quired property. Further developments may in the course of to day be made in this extraordinary case that will give at least the anxious public some clue as to the amount alleged to have been abstracted from the bank's surplus funds. EEO=l Yesterday morning, about half-past eleven O'clock, as Mr. A. Levi, of No. 55 Carondelct street, returned to his office from bank, carrying with him a box containing money, papers, and diamonds valued In all at seventy-five thousand dollars, it appears that his movements had been watched by a young man who gave his name as A. J. Crandall. However that may be, ho fol lowed Mr. Levi into his store, and noticing that he laid the box down upon the desk, deliberately walked up and threw his over-coat upon it in such a manner as to conceal it. Ho then turned to leave the, place, carrying with him the coat and the box concealed under It. By this time Mr. Levi began to notice what was going on, and started in pursuit. What hick be would have had in overtaking the thief and his booty is not known, for In a very oppor tune moment Officer Connors, , caught the fugitive and put. a stop to. his, flight. At the same moment Corporal Williams hove in, sight, and at once ran to the assistance of Connors, who had his hands full in the attempt to hold his prisoner and the box at the same time. Officer Hartmann also NVIIH in' the vicinity, and lent a ready hand on the right side. The three officers marched Crandall and the box of treasure off to the City Hail, and arraigned him before the Mayor. Mr. Levi fol lowed in great trepidation, and was so glad to reeoverhis property intact that 'he forgot to thank the efficient officers for the good service they had reandared island;. trade was dull and the health of the Island good. The people generally looked upon their prospects as good. MovementsolAdmiralMundy.--Mellef for Tortela.../tiore Severe PitiocU s of Leath qu ak e Houses Vacated by the Population. HAVANA, Jan. I.4.—Vice Admiral George Rod ney Mundy, K. C. 8., of the British North ArnM•- 1 jean Squadron, had arrifed at St. Thomas in the iron-clad flagship Royal Alfred, Captain Hon. C. W. Talbot, accompanied by Her Majesty's ships Sphinx and Fawn: The Admiral thought it un safe to remain at St. Thomas. On his way to St. Thomas he had put into Tor tole and distributed the relief money raised by special subscription. It amounted to $lO,OOO. The cholera reports at St. Thomas were exag gerated, owing no doubt to the contest going on between the Superintendent of the island and the health authorities. The. Weather was hot and rainy. There had been a great many squalls, and on the 3d instant severe *shocks of earthquake were again felt. The buildings all being of stone were considered Insecure, and the poor people took to perambu lating the safe open spaces in the city. mAsrin QIJE Probability of a Free Port at Mar tinique.

Grand Funeral Pageant in Honor .of the Late Cetilit O'Reilly CRIME. THE NEW YORK BANK ROBBERY. Additional Particulars. [From To•day's New York Herald.] Robbery in Grow Orleo.rins (From the New Orleans Republican, Jan. Bth.l =EMI Sonata in D major opus 28 Is thought to be one of Beethoven's most hiteresting compositions. and indicates an exceedingly happy frame of mind at the time of its writing. A well-spent day, with a clear sky and joyous company,in the environs of Vienna, is thought to have suggested to the y and ever-active mind of Bectho ve e plan' and motiyos of this beautiful Idyle. Th music publisher in Hamburg, Crauz who printed the sonatas of Beethoven, calledlt the Pastorale, and as such it is now known. The al legro in D major bids a bold defiance to time, and refuses to grow old; it Is full of the resources of the grand rhythmic style of which the Sinfonia Erotea is one of the most perfect expressions. This manner has had a great influence on Mo scheles, Hummel, Schubert, Weber, Mendelssohn, and others of modern fame. This allegro does_not belongto the. piano_alone,_ it is for all instruments.. In seeking the means of executing this Sonata, the orchestra is natu rally suggested. Ferdinand Ries has arranged it for Qdartetto. The adagio in D minor is a move ment of grandeur and majesty, and moves with a stately gait and increased tread , reminding one of the spirit of the music of the Conamendatore. The Rondo is a beautiful pastoral theme, of which the bearer never grows weary and is dis posed to ask for "that strain again"! Opus 31 includes three Sonatas dedicated to the Countess Browne. The No. 2ln D minor is known as the Tempest Sonata. The Allegro is a grand, im passioned movement; the Adagio is simply pro digious, and calls to mind the fairy story of the Enchanted Rose, a rose which is not a rose, but a beautiful princess, victim of the charm which the sorcerer has thrown around her. The allegretto might be called a Rondo, from its beautiful, graceful embroideries, and seems to invite the fascinating coquetries of touch and elegant refinement of style of Chopin. That this series of Beethoven Matindes will be made instructive and interesting, there is little doubt, and an hour of musical recreation can scarcely be better spent than in hearing Mr. Wolfsohn's interpretation of the thoughts of the great Symphonist, as delivered in his Pianoforte Sonatas. COIVTAINLNC; $75,000 ITALIAN OPERA.—Madame Gazzaniga appeared last evening in the role of "Luerozia,' the opera Lvicrezia Borgia, and was received with the same warmth and cordiality as upon the occasion of her first appearance a few nightg ago, She sang with spirit, and with all the fervor and In tensity for which she is famous. Madame Testa, Signori Baragli and Barili were also excellent in their respective parts. This evening the opera of Linda will be given. Miss BIWA' will sustain the role of "Linda," Mme. Testa will appear as "Plerotto," Signor Baragli as "Carlo,' Signor Antonucci as "The Prefect," and Ronconi will perform the serious part of "Antonio." Ronconi Is said to be really greater in this character than he Is in any of his humorous personations.

Fitll of the Floors of a Afilefittery...Orte man Killed. 'lFrom the Baltimore American, 14th.) On Monday night, about 9;( o'clock, there oc curred at the — Maryland Sugar Relit:cry, on Du gan's wharf, cast side of Frederick street dock, a casualty which may probably result in the death of one of the workmen; Casper Rusk. besides se verely scalding two others named Philip Werner and Charles Wisner. At the time above stated the eighth floor of the central building, on which was placed two large iron tanks, each weighing about three tons, and capable of containingl,ooo gallons of syrup, suddenly sprung, causing the joists to fall out of the recesses of the west wall. One half of this floor with the heavy tanks was precipitated on the seventh, and then succes sively on the other floors, cArrying with it the clarifying vessels, twenty-four in number, with the necessary appliances, until it reached the story where it rested. Rusk was on one of the upper floors, and with it was carried below . , being completely covered by the fragments of the floor, etc. At six o'clock this morning he, was alive, and in answer to the inquiries of his fellow workmen, stated that his feet were caught by the pieces of timber and, that he was unable to move. As subsequently e made no response to the calls of the men, it is apprehended that be is dead. Werner and Winter were badly scalded about the arms by the heated syrup. They were removed to their homes and received medical attendance. Within the last twelve months the refinery had been enlarged by the erection Of a new building with additional ma chinery, introducing all the latest improvements. The work appeared to have been done in the most solid and substantial manner. The ma chinery does not appear to he very seriously in jured, and the loss of sugar is not great. The walls arc not in the slightest degree injured. The cause of the disaster has not yetbeen ascertained, but it was doubtless owing to some hidden defect in the building. MIU24ICAL. CARL WOLFSOIIN'N SECOND BEETHOVEN MATE NEE is announced of i Friday afternoon, when he will have the assistance of Mr. Theo. Habcl moan, who will sing for the first time two songs by Schubert and one by Mozart, from II Se raglio. The first of this series was attended by a large and respectable audience, who frequently testified their approbation by earnest expressions of applause. The seeonc. will' scarcely fall be low the merit and interest of the first. Mr. Wolf- Bohn will perform the Sonata in A major opus '2, no 2; that in D major opus 28, known as the Sonata Pastorale, and the one in D minor opus 31, no. 2, known as the Tempest Sonata. The first movement of opus 2, No. 2. is bold and novel, foretelling or rather foreshadowing the approach to the second manner of Beetho ye n,and is In two-four time; an unusual measure for the first allegro, which, when used by Haydn_ and Mozart, seemed to dwarf their. power.. But. when a twoo - foUr dine is used by Beethovemit is to concentrate his idea, to gather greater strength. Such is the case with this Sonata, the Kyrie of the Mass in C major, the first movement of the Symphony in C minor, and the Symphony. with chorus. The first part of the allegro finishes by some chords which prepare the ear for a transition from E major to C major, which leads to some passages in A minor, wherein is introduced a melody like a Russian song in char acter, preparing deliciously for a return to the motivo in A major. This allegro is already the egg from which was hatched the eagle of the Symphony in A major. The Largo A ppwsionato is quite a little oratorio and recalls the majestic manner of Handel, whom Beethoven ranked above all composers, and of whom he said he would wish to kneel reverently with uncovered head at his grave. This slow movement has been arranged for orchestra by %,e'Chevaller Seyfried. The Scherzo in A majoeis a charming, spark ling effusion, which flatters the ear and dispels the charge that there is nothing but science and learning in Beethoven's compositions. The im passioned Canto of the trio in A minor, has the style of the Russian melodies, and It 113 probable that the composer guessed at this Selavonic ele ment, for there were bat two or three Russian' . songs known in Germany at that time. Sonia later use of Russian forms was owing to melo dies furnished him by Count Basoumoosky. The Rondo is supposed to resemble the styleof Field, to whom it is, however, anterior. F. I.

THTILD MILITARY DISTRICT; General Meade Address- Vetere snipe iNeorgiitConstitutioned Couvientionet- The following is the address delivered before the Georgia Constitutional Conventitn on the , ' 10th inst.: Air. President and , Gentlemen of the Cciretation r I appear before you to-day in compliance with the courteous resolution you have been pleased to pass, inviting rae`to a seat upon your floor. I came here principally for the, purpose of re turning to you in person my thanks for the kindness and courtesy indicated by your reao- Intions. At the same time, ill, appearl) ter me that this is a suitable occasion for me to state to you, and through you to the people of Georgia, Alabama and Florida, certain points in regarcito what I conceive to be my duty in the position assigned to meby thoGervernmont - of the United States. lam assigned' to the po sition Inow occupy, undena law of Congress, by direction of the President of the Unitedftttes and. the Secretary of War My duty is to execute s law which has been passed by the Congress o the United States. As a soldier, I conserve tha I have no right to question the validity of the net from which I derive my powers; nor can I permit it to be questioned by — those under my command. There is a proper course to, be pursued in testing the validity of all acts, but lam not the agent for that purpose, The question arises—what are my duties under thi. law ? In the words of the law, it is "to protee all persons in their rights of person and proper ty;• to suppress insurrection, disorder and vio • lence, and to punish, or cause to be punished, all disturbers of the public peace and criminals," and when this cannot be done through the proper function of the civil ofllcers, then the law makes it my duty to assist these officers and afford the proper protection, and this duty shall bo faithfully and honestly performed. Furthermore, the law requires that an opportunity shall be given to the people of Georgia, Alabama and l'lorida to say whether they will accept the Con stitutions which the Conventions of their rupee— five States may frame. My duty is to see that "all the registered and qualified electors in the State have an opportunity to vote freelywithout restraint, fear or influence of fraud," so as to en able them to state whether they will or, will not accept the terms offered. Now, that duty I shall to the best of my ability, endeavor to execute. Your duty, gentlemen, which you are called upon to perform, is to frame a Constitu tion and civil Government for the people of Georgia, and, if accepted by the people or Georgia, then to be submitted to the Congress of the United States. I trust that, as Military Com mander, we shall cooperate as far as may be necessary. I do not see, however, that there is much cooperation necessary. Your duty - is specific,; and mine is similar. I do not consider that your ordinances, within the limits of the acts necessary for the discharge of the duties prescribed by Con— gress, are to be enforced by me pending the adoption, of the Constitution; but I conceive this powers with which I am invested are sufficient to , authorize my adoption of any of your acts as my acts, in case, in my judgment, the well-being of the people imperatively require such action on my part; and,among such measures, I have under consideration the rellyff laws as prepared by you. In conclusion, I beg you will pardon so much reference to myself and actions. But com ingiamong you as I do, a stranger, never havi teen in your State before except passing thro as a traveler, it has occurred to me that this pla expression of my views as to my duties and, de termination to conscientiously discharge the same, would serve, perhaps, to remove some of the obstacles that might otherwise be placed in my way. I trust, gentlemen, yen, will proceed to frame a Constitution and frame a civil Government, which shall be acceptable la the qualified voters of Georgia. It is not my duty to dictate, to recommend, or to ads vise—but I feel justified in counseling modera tion, and earnestly hoping that wisdom, calm ness and reason will govern your prooceedius. again I thank you most sincerely for your courtesy.
