[The following letter has arrived out of ita regular order. It wtts written and should have been received before that dated Cologne, and published yesterday.) MORS'iiIIOUT THE Ron A OF' PAUU. Worrorvondenee of the Phneufetehia Breaths Mulletta.l PARIS, December 11, 1867.—Teemorrow, after two months of eight. seeing In this wonderful city without having accomplished more than one tenth of what I desire to do on my return, I leave for new scenes, one's it were, the panorama of the world will roll on, and the vague dreams and longings of childhood will be realized. I will be hold the actual characters and characteristics of the old world which the magician Time has marked out for me, and still be compelled to say, "Thy ways, 0 God, are not man's ways I" My eyes ache, my brain is wearied, and my heart oppressed by the accumulation and multiplicity of towers blackened with the mould of ages, monuments of heroes, whose deeds of glory are read and forgotten, works of art that employed tbe greatest genius, the labor of years, and on which' the precious gems and most costly tree sures of the earth's hidden wealth were laviahed, all bearing the unmistakable touch of decay. Who can look upon masterpieces deserted by their authors, who have gone to the grave with the light faded from the eye that mirrored and reflected on canvas all but the breath alone of the heroes of history, of saints, martyrs, and the embodiment of their own glorious conceptions of beauty and grace, and not cry out God is a Spirit, and they who worship him must worship him In spirit and in truth ! Take Notre Dame, on which hundreds'of workmen have been employed for six months only in restoring the appearance of the front wall, and what do you see ? a whitened ee pulehre ! Within is rottenness and dead men's bones. Leave it there, for its has Its mission—a lesson to teach to generations yet unborn—and go to the New Paris on .the other side of the Seine, and see life as ft is in its homes and assem blies. The houses are all hotels, averaging six stories. All have light colored atone or compo sition walls, exactly alike, very little ornament, but ,with as many windows as possible, very large, and containing French plate-glass lights, prcduchig a cheerful effect and an indescribably beautiful one on the wide streets and Boulevards. Madame A. has wealth enough to afford an entire hotel. On the ground floor is, first, the parte cochirel, or carriage entrance—a wide alley directly In the middle of the building. On the right side of this alley is the office of the con cierge, or door-keeper. She receives all letters and messages for the family, directs visitors to the apartments of Madame, Monsieur, Mademoiselle or lea enfants, The opposite door on the left side of the alley ad mits you to the grande &walla' or stairway of marble, white stone or oak, carpeted in the centre, and if of oak, waxed and highly polish and on the sides. As the hotel is constructed to ac commodate one family or six, there is a complite suite of rooms on each landing; and every suite has its separate grand entrance, with its door plates to indicate the use or occupants of the apartment, and a bell-cord by which you an nounce your presence at'the door, Are yon an intimate friend? Then Madame'sfenune de chambre will conduct you at ten o'clock in the morning to Madame's boudoir, where she is taking her cctf au bait In dressing gown and slippers. You will be received with "Entrez, ma chere and, je suis bier contents de vows voir " and a kiss on both cheeks will further testify to her delight at seeing you. If her list of acquaintances is of the usual length, she tells you of half a dozen receptions she attended the evening before, spending from half to three-quarters of an hour at each, In full evening toilette; or of a delightful evening at the opera or theatre, where she has her box for the lesson, and receives between the acts both gee tiemen and lady friends, Monsieur accompany. ing her or attending his club supper, as he fancies. The box-keepere at all places of amusement are women, and their vigilance secures every lady in the house from intrusion or annoyance. In fact, women are employed in almost every office. They are the pew openers, collect con tributions. and llghtthe lamps in both Protestant and Catholic churches, keep the accounts in all the restaurants, and do much of the work that is allottid te t t:men only In America In one of the cafes on the Boulevards a French woman, who Is a fine - art scholar, Sketches and paints in water colors and with oils, while she receivesthemoney_ and gives out checks to the welters; she hasher desk ornamented with flowers, a globe with gold fish in it, and her dress is invariably black silk with jot ornaments, and her manners alwayks lady-like. She is only one of hundreds employed in the same manner. • - We will not return to Madame's boudoir, for Mademoiselle h'as "just entered with her bonne. She has been taking a inutile lesson, and now ahe will receive, with her mamma, the trades-women 1)1'1311 kinds who bring from, the fabrigues silks, laces, embroideries, jetrels, glovea,bennets and models of dresses and cloaks for their inspection and orders. At one o'clock 'they'vvill breakfast. Then Madame drives to the Bois do Bonlogne,dressed 'shear most elegant cos tume, and Mademoiselle will promenade on the Champs Blysees with her benne. Should she go alone, or with a young friend even without her mother or bonus, hei doom would' be sealed. She would be excluded from society! On the contrary, Madame can go where she pleases, alone, and society is as Indul gent to'hi3r as It Is unreasonable to Mademoiselle. At the evening reception Madame or her brother will introduce the young lady's gentlemen friends, who will be Informed, on the way to her, - of her dot or marriage portion. After promenading or dancing with her. she is immediately, returned to' her mother with, thanks, and if the gentleinan Is pleased sufficiently, he calls 'he next to make a proposal to Madame and arrange • settlements. The young lady marries for liberty, and certainly is more independent,after marriage and appears in public more frequently without Moesieur:than with him: Funerals are terribly - gloomy - and ceremonious.

The recipe is in this wise: You take a valet, either genuine or hired for the day, and garnish ing him with a well-stocked card-caser of your own, you roll him brisklv, in a neat chariot, Up and "down the Boulevards, and through the region of the American Colony, in the neighborhood of the Russian Church. Tne well-drilled valet leaves your cards singly, or in pairs, triplets, quadruple, &c., and that is the call. You do not have to catch your hare. The fair 'object" of the ceremony has tied Irons to her little winged feet, and is deliriously skating in the boil. The "subject" is bending with a grasshopper elbow over a billiard-table near the new opera. And so they see each other. Times have changed since the hearty visits their fathers used to make their mothers on New Year's day. Then the desideratum was the rapid meeting, the hand-gra,sp, the bright rallying eye,the quick repartee, the sally of new faces and fresh winter air into the parlor • sick with perfarois and the steam of punch. Now tho belle. desires her callers as much as ever, hitt. she deifies, a differ-, ent ingredient of them; it is' their visiting cards: But two of 'my Calls to-day were prude In pqr eon:- I presented myself - notiara literary ebstrao tion, a soraP of engraving neatly impressed upon crystalised zinc, but inmybusarnation or eterentie- There IS therefore snfficient t:iodffin my remlote ceneekto Aguish forth;a Medest log or diary ear tract, if you will kindly listeuito eo perailast a thing. ,In case I shall inumwd, ht developing sued pointing the strong contrast 'felt hetWeen the atmosphere of tiM.tWo• spheres I 'vitae& WoulV, be both the, wiser. - Both my intrusions Vero upon ogebmtfxl paintere OW a born academic Spirit, a son of a house of mourning or a funeral ' procession withotit uncovering his head . and making a solemn aeknowledgment of his,olbifervance of it. In the church the entire walls side-altars and all ornaments are covered with black. The pedestal for the coffin Is elegantly mounted with silver, and as many candles are burning as can be crowded around it. ' Even the chairs of the mourners 'aro covered with , black, with the monogram of the de ceased in white embroidered letters. Thirty priests and immense choirs of chanters officiate at the altars. The family has a meter of ceremonies, who stands at the railing of the altar, and when it is time to kneel he turns, bowing first to one side, then the other and when the, prayer is finished, he signifies it in the same manner. At the concltualon of. the Mass, each person present walks past.the coffin, pausing be side It an instant while he makes the sign of the cross, and then—gees home. The empty carriayee follow the remains to their resting place. - Before leaving this, subject, I will revert to the soleinn but beautiful custom observed In France .on All Saints' Day, of visiting and decorating the tombs of the departed. On the first day of No vember last I joined a finiall party and drove within three squares of Pere la Chaise, the oldest cemetery in Paris. There we were stopped by the mass. of people who were slowly moving to wards the gates, each One carrying a wreath, cross, or ornament of flowers," some artificial, many natural, and a groat number of the beautiful immorlelles that, protected from the rains, will last years without fading. The crowd was so great that mounted guards were stationed to prevent any vehicles being driven near enough tee create a disturbance. Without the least heel teflon, we took our places and moved on with the . multitude. In the first prime it was a French crowd—that is, the most patient, polite, good-natured, consequently orderly crowd in the world; in the second place they were all on the same mission. Think of it--forty thotteWnd people going together to paY tribbte to the memory of their dead! As we ascended the hill on which the cemetery stands, the multitude of people before us, and those pressing on towards, us from every street that led- to the gate-way, all with eager faces pale with sup pressed emotion, would have made a sublime bbt awful picture could an artist have grasped the ,abject with Milton's power ofldealizing Ids poetic fancies. We entered the city of lho r deed. Twenty thousand tombs! laid out in stree.t each tomb built in the side of a hill, with shel and stone cells for the coffin; the entrance a square stone cell, with iron-grated door; in its ' small altar, on which candles are kept burning, and so many wreaths and decorations being on it that the inscriptions were completely con cealed. At every door and in every cell was a mother, father, brother or sister, with eyes looking Eup . through Scalding; - tears, paying for the repose of their dead. There was a horrid fascination in this trying scene. We moved on to the chapel of Our Lady, where the altar was draped with crape; and votive offerings of every description, laid by penitents and J mourners inside.the rallingthat inclosed amagni cen t, sculptured crossovithtlie,Vlrgin and a dead Chnst at the foot. From this scene we went on to the older portion of the cemetery, where. we found the tombs of La Fontaine, Mollere; Mar- Ne e y, Beranger, the poet, Sidney Smith, De Balzac, and the superb monument of a banker, Agnado. Rachel, Telma, Bellini, and many others of revered memory are entombed in this cemetery,and here still stands the tomb of Abelard _ and Heloise, so old that the inscriptions can scarcely be deciphered, and yet the reclining figures of the monk and nun, whose romantic history every poet has woven into verse, still ap pear a§ perfect in outline and expression as they did a hundred years' ago. From the top of the hill we bad a grand view of Paris at sunset, and there was a revelation in the scene. Paris was a wonderful picture of life. Around reigned death. Above all, the glorious sky, with its ' crimson, purple, and golden folds, that none . but the Creator could withdraw, invited us to con template the promise of immortality beyond this world. On our way home we stopped at one of the numerous stands near the cemetery, and pur chased mementoes of the occasion, in the shape of silver crosses and hearts, with photographic views of the cemetery and chapel on inserted pieces of glass not larger than-the head of an ordinary sized pin, but when loolied at from the opposite side, they were magnified to the size of a picture two Inches square.

The beggars, who are - permitted in the Jour ,cle 1'4,1 as well as oil the Emperor's Fête to solicit without a license,, were , out in appalling forte, and steadily relieved me of about a pound of coppers I had been amassing for this very occa sion. Wherever a street corner was particularly bleak; exposed and crowded, there stood an old woman" with a little boy, both singing something very Anacrepulle, in a style to disgust you forever with wine, "love, woman, all things." Not a porte-cochere but sheltered some Urchin with a marmot; in some crises dis mally crying with' cold. There were finally to be seen many 'beggais of •"the quality usually called dumb, net because they are dumb, bat only because they are inarticulate; I refer to the Savoyard's begging dogs, who perform their little master's office just as the valet above de scribed fills his own curacy for the day; ' or who, as Arthur Helps has classically put it, "accom pany Helvetii playing musical instruments, and walk upright; gaining many denarii." ' Mounting a handsome staircase encrusted with marbles only too rich and flawless to be above suspicion as to legitimacy, we gaiied— myself and two companiong—the superb studio froM which have issued the . "Death of Czesar" and the "Almeie." I suppose there is hardly such a tastqlniutelier in the city—perhaps not in any city.. Though not large, it is in perfect' proper than, and is upholstered, with such a dazzle of Eastern rugs, Damascus arms, Japanese porce lain and-all the bric-a-brac of the faultless con noisseur, that it seems the sole place where Lulls Eoetth could have been written, or where Arabian Nights could be recited. The door of this kiosk was opened tons themaster who was already surrounded by, a grefip of 'disciples and friends, come, with their respecti iri their mouths, in the Ann bright hours of the fresh Yeer. -- "I-em sorry I have not - more of My works to sho'w you," politely remarked the. painter, "but theihwie recently taken away a number of my principal compositions." - Two - ImpOrtait perfornnincee, largely being tlisettSsed at this moment by the few intimates who have seen them, remained upon their easels. These were the "Crucifixion" and the "Death of NeY-" The first has excited especial remark, ,as a new direction taken by a spirit which, with all its im portant qualities, has not heretofore shown itself religion*. The first Christian subject illustrated by Gerilme is that% tremendous hour when the sun nias darkenedeand the hely of holies un veiled, and the dead cast out from their repose— that one intermiriable hOur during which the ling:hum 'thief hung between the tortures of earthly judgment and the raptures of Paradise. Yon see the land scape, the sombre hills around Jerusalem, the sky opacpie like the sky in Pousaln's "Deluge," the crescent moon gaping like a raw wound in the heavens, and, far away; the Temple bathed in white, fatal splendor. The foreground is occu pied by the summit of Mount Calvary, hot with light, and crossed by the horrible shadows of the gibbets. The supreme event is not further repre sented. The , three ominous shadows bar the scene, and deeply adumbrate some tragedy too profound to be delineated. Calvary is left alone under its weight of 'agony. Only the line of Roman soldiery, symmetrically defiling through the hollow that separates them from rhe city, look back as they march, to laugh and acclaim the Emperor of the Jews. Here is the great day of history treated, as Dore and others have taught us to see our most cherished ideas treated, picturesquely, dramati cally, pbliquely. A versicie is cut out from the immortal story, a group or an , incident taken from the °pope& An old master would have worked from the , centre. His first care would have been to feel, and then express the pain and triumph of the great desolated Face; afterwards would have come the groups, the necessities of picture. But now we see life and time in winks. Our historians are anecdotists; wheh they are not, they sketch out such vast, superhuman plans of treatment that-they die -with-==the 'work half' finished. :-The spirit-has gone - still, (aril:Lor in art.

The othervicture was, if I may, take for a mo meat the'NrOine point of 'view, almost perfec tion. Granted that to awaken horror and a legitimate function of art, that tragedy is to re turn to.the rough days when Shakespeare sends in "Macbeth'shead on pole," that to make the spec tator sick and- ead,instead of inspired and elevated, is a fitting triumph, and that any shock is allow able for the sake of a keen sensation—then the • 'Marshal Rey" is a masterpiece. , /t is one of Gdrome's "too, , too utter" corpses, stretched out in the front, so alone and so de= taehed from the rest of the picture that it is throwu strictly into the company of you, the sPeotator; While the other's, the Mutes and audi ence to the act, are permitted a little comfort, which is denied to you i by 'clinging together and bolstering, Oa, other up The moment is identlz rally they sum !as, that, in the Closer, although _there lar.turattest - -Lartistic=resembbnce la the twO'oteurPtutitiona.:,.

BAVANA, Jan, 20, 1868.—The publication of the vote at St. Thomas was unofficial, as the au thorities refused to give details on the subject.

The piece his not remelt , able merit; bnt it contains very many , funny things, and it was well played. Lady Don, as the "Troubadour," was very pleasing, She gave the part with her accustomed sprightliness and vivacity, and sang several songs sweetly. Mrs. Creese, also, played effectively and sang well, and indeed,:every member of the company did more than justice to the text of the drama. The best thing of the evening was Mr. Craig's "Re jected ()Lieber." Ilia make-up was was a tre mendous exaggeration of the peculiarities of Edwin Forrest, and upon his first appearance, the audience were so convulsed with laughter as to cause a suspension of the play for several minutes. Mr. Craig, unfortunately, has not sufficient depth of voice to mimic the utterance of the "greatest living tragedian," bat in every other respect the imitation, was perfect. This single pe,rsonatipn is well worth seeing, and we prophesy the Lalla Rooks will draw immensely while it remains upon the boards. Lady Don's eogagtment concludes this week, and play-goers will not have another chance to see her this season. Txs Cintsviivr.—Mr. John E. Owens appeared at the Chestnut last evening ; as" Caleb Plummer," in a dramatization of The Cricket on the Hearth. This, as we have said, is one of the most artistic conceptions upon the stage, and of itself. stamps Mr. Owens as an actor of great and unusual abil ity. Miss Orton played "Dot," and did it with her accustomed success. The play will be re peated this evening. Tun Wamier.-41r. and MM.
