Devastation In the Hue de la Pair Stemoval of Popular EstabllshMents —The Academy of Music—A fosily PicilllTO—iitonors to Rossini— Patti and the Admiring Public. (Oorreselmgenee of tee Philadelohla Evening Bulletin.) 'PARIS, Friday, May-lst, 1868.—A1l Paris is amusing itself with watching the new scene of demolition, or rather devastation, which is being enacted under the auspices of Baron Haussmann, as I mentioned on Tuesday, at the head of the ..one de is Pala, and which is now fairly begun. Of the many operations of the kind carried on of late years, none has excited so much atten tion as this, on account of its being in the very heart and centre of the fashion and movement of the town. The space being cleared is, in fact, the very choicest in all Paris for fashion able business. The people stand about in crowds all day long at the head of the Rue de la Pais and the angles of the Boulevards des Italiens and Capneines, and can hardly believe their eyes when they see a holocaust of the best known names in Paris, all disappearing from the places they have occupied for a couple of generations at least, sacrificed at last to the rage for improve ment. Amongst them are three long standing and favorite Hotels, the Hotel do la Pale., the Hotel de Cantorbery; and the Hotel de Donvres —the last, especially, well known to American , visitors, who delighted to occupy the handsome rooms at the angle, with the large windows commanding a splendid view right down the Boulevard des Itallens. The stores which are being dislodged are the most frequented and lu crative in Paris. I have already mentioned Tahan, so famous for fancy cabinet-work, trin ket-boxes, &c. Then there is the celebrated Boissier, dealer in bonbon; and confectionery, and who often takes 100 er 150,000 franca over the counter in a single day, near the time of the Jour de i'An, or New Year. Then, again, comes the famous modiste, Lucy Hocquet, whose window was always crowded with gazers, both male and 'cue. Another well-known name to all Ameri cane, rs Maquet, whose papetrrie, fancy station j .:ry, writing cases, &c., are so unrivaled for taste end elegance of design. Add to these the pre -nises of several first-class jewelers, the immense Bazaar for the outfit of travelers, the American photographic gallery, the premises of Bowles Brothers, the American bankers, and a long list of others,—and you will have some idea of the devastation and dispersion which are going on in the very heart of Paris. It is a regular sauce yui peut. The buildings, which are being fast gritted internally, are now covered on the outside with long strips of white calico, printed with adver tisements, indicating whither the scattered in habitants have fled for "provisional' Shelter. None of them can find again positions equal to :he old oneswhich they have just lost, for there are none such left in Paris; and the grumbling is great, notwithstanding the heavy in demnities paid. Meanwhile a whole army of demolishers are swarming over the de &tried premises, pick-axe in hand, tearing down In all directions and seeming to delight in the work of destruction. And it seems that these men really do have a pleasure in pulling down. A curious fact was told me by one of the parties who has contracted with, the city for these de molitions. He assures me that the work of de moll ;tang has now become so complete a busi ness in Paris, that regular bands of men are now kept engaged for that employment alone, which, be said, "unfitted them for any other:" These - men are ' "let loose," as it were, to destroy, and acquire such a habit and taste for it that they lose all patience for slower employment. And to see them at work one can quite believe this statement. Crowds of people watch them as they scale the walls and roofs like firemen, hewing about them right and left with a will. Curiosity is the more excited in this in stance, because immediately behind the screen of houses still standing is known to run tho long line of new thoroughfare leading straight to the Palais Royal, and which has been driven through one of the most thickly-occupied districts of Paris. just as if a battery of rifled-cannon bad played upon it for an hour or two and drilled a hole right through it. When the screen of houses falls this Avenue will come out like a scene in a play, to the great delight of the giddy Parisians. ' I wish I could speak more favorably of the costly building which is the centre and head of all this embellishment, and for which all these changes are chiefly being made. I mean the New Grand Opera, or Academy of Music. It is a prodigious construction and has cost a mint of money; it is impossible to say, or to learn, ex actly how much, but I think I am quite within the mark when I mention from twelve to fifteen millions as the sum already expended. The effect produced by no means answers to such an out lay; and the general judgment pronounces the lines of architecture to be inharmonious, and the ornamentation to be tawdry and overdon e. There was a report that the celebrated picture by Terburg, of the "Congress of Munster," which, though measuring only some seven or eight inches-square, was knocked down to a Paris dealer. for 182,000 francs, as mentioned in my last letter, had been bought to go to the j United States. The dealer, at first, refused to name his employer, but there Is now little doubt that the latter was the Baron James De Roths child, of Vienna. Both that gentleman and Ba. ron Rothschild, of Paris, as well as Baron Na thaniel Rothschild, formerly of Naples, and now living on tile Lake of Geneva, were present in the room during the sale, with a hest of other Eu ropean millionaires. Rossini was last week waited upon by Cheva lier Nigra, the Italian Minister, who presented him, on the part of King Victor Eminannel, with the insignia of the Grand Cordon of the new Order of the Italian Crown. Mercadante and Verdi are to receive-the Cross of Commander of the same Order. There was quite a little incident the other even ing with Patti, at the Grand Opera. The per formance was to be an act of Don Giovanni, with a second rate singer, and afterwards the Traviafa, with Patti. When the curtain drew up for the Don Giovanni • there was a general call for Patti to appear as Zerlina. This she conseoted,to do ; but being already dressed' for Lire Tray she did not' take the trouble to change, but came On to the stage in the costume of the latter CharaCter. To her- intense disgust She was greeted with iomelasses, which so die. tressed her thatehe retired to the side scenes and , began to cry,' and 00 ottrtalit: amidst great; aututiuniz-Thero , Wita..a; lo u,g _pram, But Mile.. Patti refused to yield Oiroappeor. inthe Dan' Gt... tanni,which was therefore dropped; the rcaßato began; Patti came farfrard with her eyes looking OUR. WHOLE COUNTRY. rather red, but soon sang both herself and her audience into good humor again. What Hamlet was played for the last time yea tcrday evening, at the old Grand Opera House, with Nilsson, now almost a rival of Patti, the re ceipts reached about 15,000 f., the largest ever known. The 22 performances of the same piece have brought in 252,000 f. Another theatrical statistic tells ns that the Belle Helene, Barbs Melte, lle Parisi(nne and Grande Duchesse, after a thousand aggregate representations, have real ized nuttily 33 millions. Theatricals are decidedly flourishing in France, though not of a very ele vated or elevating character.

Mysterious Disappearance in Pitts. burgb.-.A Merchant Supposed to Dave Killed ilitoself..' (Prom tho Pittsburgh Dispatch of the 12th inst.l Since Sunday evening last, Mr. Jacob Lies, a dealer in dry goods on Ohio street, Allegheny, bas been missing from his home, and facts have been revealed which justify the conclusion that he' has committed suicide by drowning. Mr. Lies was in excellent circumstances, aged about 39 years, and resided with his wife and five children in a portion of the building in which his store is located.,He came to this country twenty-five 5 ears since, from Darmstadt, Germany, where we understand all his kindred are at present living. He was successful in business, widely known among the citizens of Allegheny and vicinity, and was generally liked by his, neighbors. Since Sunday evening nothing was heard of him until yesterday morning, when his clothes were discovered lying on a raft in the Allegheny river, some distance below the Band street bridge. They were easily identi fied by the authorities, to many of whom Lies was personally known. In one of the pockets was found a book containing papers, receipts, kc , which was also known to have belonged to him. It is rumored that the missing man was prompted to commit anicide by a recent attack on his reputation. He had been accused of a RrOPB crime of which he is believed to be en tirely innocent. The Paris (Maine) Democrat, of May Bth, says: "John R. Smith, who has been a Methodist preacher at Bath and other places, having re cently recently absconded to Canada with a large amount Pi funds, the proceeds of hay which he had bought on an extensive scale the past fall of tanners in Pownail, New Gloucester and Freeport,. was caught in the French country, in Canada, last week by officer C. M. Wormell and brought back. "Smith bought largely the year before, and paid up, by which he got a good credit, and tkis year be went in about $7,000 worth, giving pa per for his purchases and decampingjust before it matured. A Boston detective was sent after him, without success. Wormell got on his track through the movement of Smith's family, whom be traced to-Compton, Canada. He persuaded Smith that he had better come back and settle with his creditors than be arrested and lie in a Canada jail till a requisition could be got.. He gave good bonds to the men who employed Wormell, ar4d..was set at liberty. Other credi tors had him re-arrested, and he will probably have to dligorge his ill-gotten gains. "Smith was a Universalist preacher at North Fryeburg awhile—then joined the Methodists, and was assigned to Pownal, where he preached over a year. He was expelled from the Confer ence by resolution, and afterwards attempted to create a schism in the church at West Bath." FETE AT GEN. DIELIDEIS,ATORGIA ATLANTA GE. Pleasant Evening—The Arrange.. ments and Daneing- 44 ttebels” and "Yankees , ' present—Flue Music. ATLANTA, Ga., April 20, 1868.—About a week ago certain citizens of our city were thrown into the greatest state of excitement by the reception of cards, as follows General Meade requests the pleasure of your company on Wednesday evening, 13th instant, at 8 o'clock. Said cards were issued to both "rebels" and "Yankees,"formerly"federals. Who would accept, what they would wear, and whether or not the weak-kneed could muster up sufficient moral courage to go or stay at home, furnished an am ple theme for the gossip, and kept those who did accept busily preparing their toilets during the intervening time. For you must know, dear, kind reader, that Atlanta is neither New York nor Paris, and that pares-goers labor under great disadvantages anrinconveniences in pre paring for such a grande fête as Gen. Meade's entertainment was. Eh Lien ! The week passed away like all earthly things, the toilets were completed, and notwithstanding wind and storm and rain tout 1c monde was d,etertnined to brave all things to attend this grand military At length the day arrived. The morning was dark and gloomy, but about ten o'clock the sun burst - forth in unusual} splendor, betokening promise of a brilliant day, in.whieli we were not disappointed. Having arrayed our selves in the most gorgeous toilets we arrived at the General's residence at precisely nine o'clock, where "sounds of revelry by night" greeted us from the, magnificent military band attached to these "headquarters." The grounds were beauti fully illuminated, and the aforesaid band was sta tioned in the front yard, regaling the:guests with music according to printed programmes. Upon arriving at the first entrance we were directed to proceed to the rear of the house, where we stepped from our carriages Into an impromptu hall, built, carpeted and lighted for- the oc casion, so that our feet did not touch the ground. We then proceeded to the stairway, preceded, followed and surrounded by enougis "orderlies" to make us all orderly, and whore another orderly announced in the most stento rian voice, "Ladies and gentlemen please walk up stairs—ladies to the front room on the left and gentlemen to the back room on the left." We obeyed orders, and upon ascending the stairs were received respectively by. fentmes chanthres tf.ijrigne in the ladies' dressing room, and the General's staff in the gentlemen's room. Having freshened our crushed skirts, taken a pita in in the mirror, dusted our coats deabalded the stairs, at the foot of which were stationed two more orderlies, one with a basket of printed engagement cards, containing the following : MAT OVDA.:4OEI4 1.

The ladles were all beautifully dressed,and the gentlemen all looking magnifigue in their military uniforms, this being of course a compliment and courtesy to the Gen ( ral. Where all the ladies were lovely it would not be fair to dlacritainate. At twetve o'clock precisely supper was announced; the dancing ceased, and we ,marched in to supper, keeping step to the delightful music, the tables were beautiful and the luxuries Which met our eyes and tempted our appetites would have brought an intense smile of satisfaction from Lu callus himself while Bacchus, in sipping the exquisitervines, might easily have imagined them the nectar of the gods. Let it be recorded that we entered the arena spread out' before us with all the sangfroid of successful combatants, and came oft none the worse" except for the supper tables. A charming feature of the supper was that all present could take supperjust where they were, in the halls, on the stairways, in the salons, on teosy little mess tables,thus avoiding the crush of the dining saloon and the discomfort of etabding so long. The Generalexpressedfrequent and sincere regrets at the absence of the lovely and elegant Mrs. B— B. declaring alwaya that It was her party, and that it was too bad for her to be detained at home by illness. Mrs. B— is the magnanimous, generous and hospitable Southern woman who threw open her doors to General Meade upon his arrival in our city, and introduced him to our Southern people, for which kindness he feels truly grateful and nover permits an opportunity topass of evincing his gratitude. - The people of this district owe much to General Meade for his justness and firmness and all must admire and respect the unflinching manner in which he performs his duty, being governed by a conscientious regard for what ho believes to be right. Aside from this he is socially delightful, combining a suasiter in modo with a fortiter in re rarely met with. Eh Bien' The hours drifted—flaw—unnoted by until a faint streak of dawn in the east admon ished us to pay our adieus to our delightful host, as well as to tender him our thanks for the en chanting night. Good nights being said, fare wells spoken, we took our departure for "home, sweet home." State Temperance Convention. .

The Pall Mall Gazette learns from a correspon dent at Rome that the' Pope has lately given several general audiences to foreigners, receiving a thousand and fifteen hundred at a time. He has also delivered several discourses, two of which contained political allusions. In the first he spoke of the evils inflicted on the church by certain rulers, the flerods and Pastes of the day, while the tendency of events was to expand and magnify the Holy See, bringing all men and all countries round the tomb of St. Peter. In the second discourse the Holy Father distressed his audience by his melancholy presentiments, _ and by reminding them that as David, though attended by a band of faithful and devoted friends, could not be saved from exile and the life of a fugitive, so the affec tion borne to himself by.a few faithful Catholics could not preserve him from the trials which Heaven had still in store for him. This myste rious language was thought to have been inspired by unfavorable communications from foreign governments. It is said that a message from Paris advises the immediate armament of die for tifications of Rome, and authorizes the transport of eighty pieces of French artillery from Civita Vecchia, should the guns in Rome be inadequate for the purpose.
