[Correspondence of tbs Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.) licllosg-IVlcllsen—Tltlcns, London, Juno 30th, 18G8.—After sauntering through . St. James. Park, during, last evening’s long twilight, I emerged bjr the steps beneath the Duke of Tork’s column into the area absve Trafalgar Square, and passing the Crimean monument, strolled along Fall Mall, peering Into tho vast bay windows of the palatial clubhouses, in affectionate remembrance of my quondam friend, tho late Major Pendennls. Many a bald pate shone through the great plate gloss like a glistening billiard balk How peacefully those great nabobs must spoon down their brisk turtle soups and qnaflf the genial Roedercr, now that Thackeray's caustic pen lies dry of ink! And the young London swells, posted farther.back by the long newspaper flies, what man shall again picture their ebullient nothingness with one half the terse satire and sneering humor of the lamen ted author just named ?' .Ht the midst of this train of thought, my eyes caught a procession of three men 'wending their way through the vast crowd of swaying omnlbusses, cabs, and more elegant equipages—each bearing aloft a huge poster, bearing severally the following announce ments: “Covent Garden, to-night!” “La Favorita!" “Mile. Pauline Lucca! Then— ‘‘Drnry Lane (Her Majesty's!)" “Le Nozze de Figaro f” ' ‘Kellogg—Niellien—Titicns." And lastly— ~ ‘ St James Hall, Picdhdllly!” ‘Rubinstein—Sainfly—Piattl; In a Trio of Beethoven!” An ass between three bundles of hay! Pity my perplexity, dear Bulletin; I feel like smash ing the three toiling carriers whose gregarious sympathies had brought these stunning attrac tions simultaneously in collision with mine eyes.* Should I throw overboard the woraout- Favorita, even with Lucca among the valuables? But a few moments of consideration sufficed to decide that question affirmatively, and the mental con test became narrowed to the two classical per formances. It was.to be the final, appearance of the pianist, Rubinstein, whose performances, If the London papers criticise justly, have fallen slightly short of public expectatioh; but when should I ever meet the extraordinary cast of the “Marriageof Figaro” again? 80 I turned my footsteps through a labyrinth of minor streets toward Covent Garden, and decided the perplex ing question in favor of the while standing midway between the two theatres. Suddenly I found myself pursued by crowds of fkrieking females, persistently bawling now “Favorita Opera Book!” on one side, and anon ‘ Marriage of Figaro!” on the other. ' “Buy a Book, sir; do, do buy a book; only sixpence; nil the words and the music!" I took up a defensive position, and shouted no< turning my face right and left like a toy poppet, as I retreated before the raid toward tho portals of old Drury; yet onward came the hungry, half naked crowd, like the great swarm of screaming sea gulls that fly out in the wake of incoming steamers near Queenstown, in quest of the offals of the ship. One of the fnries—a gin-faced, wicked looking creatnre, persistently followed me to the threshold of the opera house, until a policeman roughly hurled her to the rear. Entering the auditorium, I found it well filled and our old acquaintance, Arditi,"marshalling hit) forces for the overture. The Drury Lane Theatre Is neither handsome nor comfortable, but the mind fires with a train of old, classic associa tions, and in passing Garrick, Clive, Quin, Brace girdle and Peg Woffington in rapid review, yon little reck of the difference between these narrow, straight-bached seats and those luxurious siestas in our own Academy of Music at home. Neither is there visible the elegance of dress—nor, may I add, that universality of female beauty, which, when bedecked with flashing jewelry, at times cause onr own parquet, parquet circle and bal cony to seem like a vast snowdrift with Its glis tening-ice-points twinkling in the rays of the noon-day earn I am but speaking the words of candor, moreover, when I pro nounce Arditi’s orchestra inferior to that of the New York Philharmonic Society, or to the one employed by Ullman, when he produced the with the great cast of Formes, Poin sot, Laborde & Co., same years ago. But the curtain rises. Enter Gassier os “Figaro,” more rotund of body and florid of complexion than we saw hips In Philadelphia; and with him our own Clara Louise Kellogg, the “Susannah” of the cast, whose popularity here is very great. Gas sier mouths his text, but acts cleverly enough. His light baritone has not gained strength with' increasing corporeal development, and the sprightliness, vocal purity and facile execution of our American ; cantatrice shuts hopelessly from him all possible chance of sensation in the open ing dno. Clara Louise sweeps the board of every obstacle, Until ;a small door opens; and enter Mile. Christine Nieilsen, a sprightly, lithe, beautiful blonde from the land of the Norsemen,the Cherur bino of the evening. How her soft blue eyes light up with genial mirth as her pretty little feet trip down toward the other two artistes amid thun ders and ever-increasing thunders of applause. How gracefully she swings the rich, satin-lined mantle, thrown neglige over her well-rounded shoulders, as she stoops to gather a brace of ad vance bouquets! There is a school-girl artless ness in all ot her actions that prepossesses at once, much like the charming naivete of Picco lominl when we first saw her In America. Now, dear.BonnwnN, I am. not about to pronounce Nilssen the best singer I have ever heard. My own tendency is rather to that species of old fogy ism which prompts musical connoisseurs to hold met to some early ideal. You may hear such as hese exclaim: “Ah! your Parepas, your La bordes, your ; Jenny Linds, may be all very fine, but, '' my enthusiastic greenhorn, you never . heard Mrs. Wood in the Sonnambula /” In like wise have I steadily throughout my career opposed Bosio to all new comers, and I still maintain her lasting superior ity.. However, I do aver that Mile. Nieilsen pos sesses the purest and tenderest soprano voice it. has ever been toy good fortune to hoar, so far as relates to more quality. Shehas not the power nor the tours de forte OfTitiens, nor yet the fin ished ease of Kellogg ; but there are seemingly . *But the ravishing'straths 'of-Chamimimb Charlie— ae (’.dTncriaue-boauUfully rendered by "riadiul, under the colonade of the charred Hay. niariet Theatre.

I could easilyfancy an entire audlenc< in tears ovef some plaintive ballud, interpreted hy this sweetest and purest of voices, and thi artless simplicity and almost childlike grace of its management. Titiens, who sustained the role of “La Comtesse,” presents a striking corporeal os well ad artistic antithesis to the lovely bird of song just depicted.

And'so in joyous anticipation of a feast thns bountiful, allow me to close these hastily penned notes. B. I.KTTEB FKOITI DEW HAOPSpiBE. [Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] | An artist-correspondent engaged in a comfor table carriage-drive through the mountain re gions of New Hampshire, sends us the following sketches of the towns, &c., on his route:] Littleton, N. H., July 9.— Very many Phila delphians are now probably thinking of the White Mountains nnd the two days ef hard travel necessary to reach them. Aa.l have traveled over a part of the distance—from New Haven to this point—in a much less .expeditions and quite an American way, I cannot resist, with a little -ime to spare, urging the attractions of many places in the Connecticut River Valley, which are too thoughtlessly given the go-by. To a person from any other section of the country]" the /thickly-settled and pie 'uresqne one' of New England ex cites a peculiar interest Its nndnla-' ting surface persuaded by the farmer into credit able productiveness Of various grains, tobacco and vegetables; its fine trees spared by him to dusterby homestead, dairy and spring, or run ir regularly along the road and lane; and, lastly, the scattered villages or towns where he makes hi s purchases and sells produce, villages which in many cases’ give him his only idea of life in communities; these are ail distinctive in their character and, attrac tive to agriculturist, tourist or philosopher. Tl • villages in the vnlley of the Connecticut are so frequent that one may drive its whole length with the greatest convenience, admiring ibe country on the way, and sure of some place ten miles or so distant to dine and rest, with yet another, to be attained in the afternoon, where the night may be very comfortably passed. These stopping places vary much in character, according to their size, while many of eqnal population will have the same, attractions of spreading elm, neat frame homestead and well kept garden or lawn- without being monotonous. . Hartford and Spring fltld havo something of the same prominence fa ihe vallejuna New York and Philadelphia in the Middle States. They give a suggestion of metro politan wealth ana enterprise in their broad main streets, well stocked stores, busy popula tion and beautiful suburbs which even the dis tant influence of Boston or the Empire City does not detract from, In the mind of the untraveled native. They exert through the Springfield Re publican and other Journals, political ana agricul lurol. a Wide influence, and present a life of at tractiveness to influential citizens of larger com munities which they wonld do well to profit from at home. After Hartford and Springfield, we may rank such places near the river as Farmington, Conn., Northampton and Greenfield, Mass., Brattleboro', Bellow sFalls, and Windsor in Vermont These are more or less known and sought especially by per sons who. during/{he summer, wish to avoid cities and yet have some animation about them. Farmington is among‘the quietest but most beau tiful of these villages, and, unfortunately for tourists, without accomodations for more than a transient stay, as its elm shaded streets and hos pitable looking homes offer very permanent attractions. A drive out from Hartford would amplv repay the traveler of leisure, and when his stroll along the main avenue with Us high thrown shade andgUmpses of'sonny coun try on each side was over he would leave with regret, even to re-enter tho city again by Us best approach between lawns and hedges vying with those of Old England. Bnt Northampton, the supposed scene of “Norwood,” will lose nothing by any contrast in this section, possessing as it does a rare combination of natural and social at tractions, Mount Holyoke, a few miles distant, reserves an enchanting prospect. In the village, Round Hill Is an eminence one is always reluc tant to leave. In fact there is no need of leaving while the present hotel and water-cure establishment re main. As to the avenue of elm trecß on the way, the novel.of Mr. Beecher will be most'sug gestive,- The old Church, the village walks and drives, and the Central Hotel, will speak for themselves to the .visitors, or will be spoken for by a number of sagacious Philadelphians, who 7 bave found them out, and who annually enjoy them. - Brattleboro’ls a very social watering place,pios sessing in its pride over thirt&distlnct drives of interest. The visitor finds himself at length deci dedly among'the hills (which begin to close about him at Greenfield), and whlle the . tempera ture is somewhat warm at times, has.many con sequent causes of, enjoyment. The hotels are good and the place yearly increasing in popu larity. Bellows Falls has undeniable • scenic at tractions, but .the falls'have:.two ugly bridges over them, and the hills.surround the village in such a way os to make the location Of its best’ hotel very uncomfortable in the middle of sum-; mer. Early or late it would probably be very pleasant. Greenfield, offers a fine view from Montague Hill,in addition to its agreeable Village walks. Windsor is a large'village, and quite at tractive, with a comfortable hotel. In it Mr. Evarts and another prominent New York jurist, Mr. Stoughton, - hpvo -.their homes. Charleston, between Bellows Falls and Windsor,is. a village where a good hotel, fine , air and spring water add to its moat pleasing appearance and; Induce many summer residents, v ’ In addition; we might-notice many smaller places, snch as Deerfield, which should be famous for one elm tree among many.

Jacmel, Wednesday, June 24,1868. —Our dates from Port-au-Prince reach to 23d inst., The siege continued, the besieging forces amonnting to 6,000 men, while Salnavo was reduced to 500 partisans. The revolution has become so popular that eveiy man from 18 to 60 has taken np arms. The besieging Generals are pressing the city more and more., General Petion'Fdubert entered the town ofPo- Uonville, six miles from Port-au-Prince, amid the acclamations of the population. General Hec tor has joined his forces to the "Cocos,” un der John Lynch and Auguste Montas, and they have assaulted several titges the surround ing forts. Famine begins to show its ravaging effects in the city. For fuel, some families have hod to break up their fnrnitnre. The war steamer Liberte, formerly the Geff rard, has gone over to thorevolution, and is now cruising on the coaßt. 1 The only-places besides Fort-au-Prlnce which are under calnave’A sway are Gonaives and tho Cape—the former defended by Yictorin Cheva lier, Bolnave’s right hand. Gen. Nissage Saget has detached a corps from the besieging-forcea to attack Gonaives, and will then proceed to the Cape, which up to now has and which merely awaits the surrender of Port-au-Prince to proclaim. The fall of Port-au-Prince may be expected mo mentarily, and the dogged obstinacy of Salnave only tends to distress more" and more this poor country. / I give the following items of news from the / Jamaica Gleaner of June 24. “By the Solent, on Friday (18th inst.). corres pondence from Jacmel has been received to the 17th inst. The force under Gen. Hector, which, as already reported, bod marched from Jacmel toward Port-an-Prince, arrived at and took pos session of Petionville, accomplishing tho march from the headquarters at Carrefonr, a distance of 90 miles, over the mountains, In three dayß. In the lowlands, this force encountered the army of Salnave, commanded by Gen. Gervais. An en gagement took place, in which Hector was victo rious, and captnred two pieces of cf cannon. He then crossed the Riviere Froide, which had over flowed its banks, and formed a junction with the force under Gen. Lynch and entered Petionville, where they wereraeeived with every demonstra tion of joy by the inhabitants. The Tirallenrs of Jacmel, led by the Deputy Brice, of Miragoone, encountered tho Government troops. Brice ad drersed them, Baying, ‘We are brothers; let there be unity and pence.’ He was responded to with a volley of musketry, whereupon he charged and completely routed the enemy. Gen. N&rciss was not killed as reported by previous advices, al though he was exposed as the General of Artillery before Fort Bizoton. Dear Gentral: —Willing to a fulfill a duty dear to my heart, that of rewarding, tor hiß eminent services, one of the most zealous 1 servants of my Government (General Rebecca, your son,) 1 offer to you a full, and entire amnesty. Son are a man, of honor, General. I shall re call to yoi;! ml’ud the conversations wo so often had together at the palaco,' the promises you' made me, and I hope that after having reflected yon will not hesitate to accept the offer which my friendship and duty,as fatherof the Haytiens, oblige me to make to you. Nevertheless, if, against my expectation, you prefer to participate in the continuance of a civil war be tween citizens of the same country, pnd in con sequence, to remain insensible to my appeal, yon ore at liberty to refute my offer. lam de termined (and, thanks be to Hefiven, I have the means), at the risk of my life, to maintain order in the country, and to stand against oil eventu alities, from whatever source they may come. Think over this, my dear General, and come to yourself again. I hold your son to great esteem, and for his sake, I feci obliged to have much con sideration for you. I depend on ysur good sense, which, I do believe, will not be wanting now. To this offer Gen. Hector made the following reply: General: I was to the most absolute retreat, far from the timmlt of political affairs, when the offi cial news of the transformation of the power which bad been conferred upon you reached me. My republican feelings were moved, and when my natal city, Jacmel, rose np and claimed my sword to defend its liberties, I mode it my duty to place that aword at ltß disposal, os 1 myself could by no means depend, without a constitu tion, or any safety, on any respect whatever in regard to my personal rights. Now, then, General, one advice deserves an other. A murk of kindness must be repaid. I shall acquit myself of the one you gave me to your despatch of tho 6th instant. YOn alone, General, by an honorable retreat, can put an end to the civil war. Yon alone can stanch the flood of Haytien blood, now being so crnelly shed. Prove that you are able to offer to tho sight of tbe nineteenth century the spectacle of a disin terested man. Renounce that chair, to which you cannot maintain your seat but by the sacri fice of the Haytien people- Allow me to closing to let you observe that I made promises to the President ol Hayti, to a constitutional chief, not to a dictator. The violation of the Constitution of 1867 relieves me. Ido not.make war against a man; bntT make myself the defender of prin ciples, by the absence of- which there can be no confidence, no respect of properties or persons. There was'to boa combined attack.on Port-an- Prinee on jot abont. the 18th by Faubert from Carrefonr; Hector and Lynch from Potion, Ville andMontas from Drouillard. Tho echooner Ocean Pearl, Capt. Pearl, to one day from Aux Cayes, arrived hero on the 20th. ghe was on her way to New York, and called to here for the purpose of landing Mr. Jackson, Vice ConsnLoi Prnssia, and Mrs. Jackson. By this arrival, we received information confirma tory of the news published on Saturday respect ing the contemplated combined attack on Port au-Prince by the forces nnder Hector, Lynch, Petion, Faubert and Montas. Puerto Plata, Wednesday, June 24, 1868. The authorities to this section of the Republic begin to ehow some uneasiness, as if feanng a coming storm. They are adopting precantionary measures. Several chiefs of.the past administra tion, who are hidden to the mountains, begin to give signs of life; ' ’ From the City of'Bt. Domingo, we learn that several proclamations have been issued, calling on the national patriotism, if the peace of the country should be menaced. : It is rumored that President Baez has declared all thoseithatlCft the country after the surrender of tho city, outlaws. , President Baez is said to have received $30,000 from Curacao; , which amount he holds to reserve for the approaching war. AH these measures are adopted on account of the news received of the departure from Curacao and St Thomas of all the refugees, including Gens.. Cabral, Luperon, Legeiy.Val verde and Pi mentel for Hayti, where, it is asserted; they ex pect asßlstahce for the invasion of ; the Republic to overthrow Baez from the new Haytien Govern ment, which la ! opposed toUaez, tho latter being the ally of Salnave. .

These and many other places would re pay the deliberate tonristas ho eanntered on, and perhaps distract him from his original deatlna lon beyond altogether. Doing no justice to the idaces I have mentioned, I shall yet feel gratified if a mere notice may enablo others from my home to enjoy them. A.G.H. AFFAIRS IN HAITI, ProgrcKs of tbe Bo volution.

[From the Atlanta (Ga.) ConsutntloD, July 10.1 At 8 o'clock last evening, - thoXDotnoemte, ac cording to previous notice, held a popular meet iog at Davis's Hall. Tbo simple annbandement tbut Robert Toombs and Howell Cobb would nddrt-ss the meetlDg was all sufficient to.;arouse tbo heart of Democracy.

When Mr.'Toombs rose to address the assemblage, we can compare the scene to nothing less man a stupendous camp ' meeting,- where everybody la converted and vying with each other to see who can shout the loudest. Mr. Toombs rose, majestic os of yore, and entered at enco upon the one great subject which had brought the party to geilier—the ratification of the New York nomi nees. The highest encomiums were pro nounced by the elegant speaker upon tho nominees—Seymour and Blair.' Ho had snown them in the past and was willing to risk them in the future. Gen. Blair had 1 distinguished himself In the armies of the coun try. True, ho had fought against the South In war; but he was now an advocate for peace peace for the whole country. Radicalism', the greatest criminal the world ever saw. Is now on trial before the grand inquest of the Democratic Party. Men of the South should fly to the arms of Northern allies, to assist in crushing the viper out of existence. Mr. Toombs spoke only about twenty minutes. His tone was much moro moderate than wo expected it would be, from what we had heard of his usual style when ad dressing the masses. Mr. Cobb’s speech was more lengthy. Ho made one of his happiest efforts, ana addressed himself more particularly to the political issues now presented to the people of Georgia. Grant and the Chicago platform were seared- with the fires of bis indignation. The election of such a man upon such a set of principles would be the greatest calamity that could possibly befall the whole country. Members of the Legislature were reminded that they would soon bo called upon to elect men to represent Georgia In tho Sen ate of the United States. Would they eloct to that position a man whose principles are in harmony with those enunciated by tho Chicago Conven tion? Would they elect a man who is willing to confess that a negro is equal to a white man In Georgia, but unequal to a citizen ot Ohio? A man who acknowledges his own inferiority to the white population of the North? He advised them by all means to vote for any good appointee of the Governor to any of the judicial or other offi ces, but never for a man for anything who had assisted In the building of the Chicago platform. Mr. Cobb’s speech was received with enthusiastic cheering. He made. some capital hits, and we bave not the slightest doubt that more than one Radical member of (he Senate of Georgia went to bed with “a flea in their car.” The Tbird Farty^nmore, [Correspondence of tho New York Tribune.] Washington, July 14— There la very little speculation to-night concerning tho third party, and the whole thing. If It ever had any strength, has utterly collapsed. Chief Justico Chase gives it no countenance whatever, and is not a party to the movement. The Democrats daily become more and moro thoroughly demoralized and dis gusted at the nominations which were made in New York. They do not object to Mr. Seymour so. much ad to Mr. Blair, whoso selection many of them regard „ its very injudicious. Rumor has it that Mr. Seymour, while the Convention ' was in ' session, con sulted his physicians upon the advisability of bis accepting the nomination in case It should be tendered to him, and that they unanimously pro tested against it and advised him to decuae. They thought that the cares and anxieties Inciden tal to the campaign and to the Presidential office, in'the event of his election, mußtbe extremely dan gerous to his health, and might possibly result fa tally. The third party men are soreheads from both parties, whoso only aim is office and self advancement. They see no future gain in either Grant or Seymour, and as a matter to he expected they want a third candidate. Nothing is defi nitely known of the vlows of the Chief Justice on the subject of a third candidate. Cbiei justice Cbtuo and the Demo, ' cracy. [From the Hartford Courant] Washington, Monday, July 13th, 1868.—A few facts regarding Chose and the New York Con vention have become 'known to me, and 1 have to-day seen the original draft of' a platform agreed upon by him and some of the magnates of the Democracy, upon wbich he agreed, and upon that only, to become the candidate before the Now York Convention. The platform was accepted formally by theso leaders, but subsequently he was called upon to modify bis views, which he refused to do and he was therefore dropped and a new platform made. He believes that the government should carry out its financial obligations to the letter, bat that be cause a man is a creditor does not entitle him to claim a broader construction of the law. He also favors universal amnesty and complete restora tion to former rights of persons in the South, and suffrage for the black man under State laws. The letter which he wrote in reply to the request for a modification of his views Is as conclusive and emphatic as the letter of Frank Blair, but on a different side. It is to be hoped, it will some day see the light. The Chief Justice opposes any third party movement, refusing hlB name and countenance. .
