Many of the crew de termined to remain in Yokohama, and some of them have already opened restaurants, bar ter shops, &c., which are mostly patronized by the foreigners, as there is always a great deal of shipping in the harbor. Tho crew, when dis charged, were paid off in Mexican dollars, which they converted into bills of exchange on Lon don .

EUBOPEM AFFAIBB LETTER FROM PARIS, [Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. 1 Pa'bis, Tuusday, July 14th, 1868.'—The Central Markets, or Halles, os they aro called (from the Latinword, aa/ae,-HaUs),*of Paris,-are one of the; •wonders of this city, not to say of the. world- There is, certainly, nothing like them, or at all equal to them, in any other capital either In Eu rope or America. They cons'et now of fourteen immense pavilions, covering I know not how many acres of ground, and having cost I know not how much money. Begun in the first or se cond year of the Empire, they have ; only just ‘reached completion, and must ever be reckoned as at once the most stupendous and the most useful of all Baron Haussmann’a vast undertakings. Almost the entire provisioning of the French Metropolis is first concentrated here> and then radiates off and permeates through all the arteries and thoroughfares of the town, to furnish smaller markets, stores and private in dividuals. It is intended eventually that all sup plies shall reach this prodigious general Depot, without ever passing through the streets. They will first be brought sis far as (he circular rail road, which now runs al] round Paris and con nects oil the railway^stations with each other. This will convey them to the point whero it passes nearest to the central markets, which happens to be the Strosburg station, where a short under ground line will pour them into the Halles; thus re lieving the crowded streets of an immense amount of traffic. Underneath the Halles ore vaults or caverns of enormous- extent (to be mentioned again presently), into which descend all refuse matter, which again, in its turn, is conveyed thence underground by tramways to the Seine, and carried oiT in bargee. Such is the magnifi cent plan of provisioning nil Paris and cat lying oil the relate, without cither one or the other appearing above ground within the precincts of the city. Well, we have been within an ace of losing this splendid public monument, just as it approached its full completion. Yon may imagine the sensa tion which has been created by the bare idea of such a catastrophe. Nor will your surprise be small when I say bow this event had so nearly happened. The entire markets are constructed of glass and iron, being in fact lourtcen crystal palaces, and the whole stand npon arches of solid maeonry. How then, yon may well ask, eonld each a structure burn; and what element does it offer to the action of fire ? The ques tion is natural; and yet it Is fire which has so nearly robbed Paris of her unmatched markets. The prodigious vaults underneath, which I have already mentioned, are divided among the different occupants above, and used by them for dressing, preparing, and stowing away masses of merchandise of every descrip tion; much of which, such as bntter for instance t is oi a .highly infiamnable nature. Then besides l bcre arc the gas pipes and reservoirs for lighting all these underground galleries. It was in the batter Pavilion (where bntter is sold wholesalo oy auction) that the fire broke out; in the vaults □ndemeath, that is, where tons of the material are stored away. Some straw, it is said, took fire, used for eggs, which are also kept there. The dames spread like lightning, being soon fed with melting grease; and you may imagine the furnace “seven times heated” which soon glowed in those subterranean regions. The play of thirteen fire engines seemed at first to produce no effect npon it. The hour was late, near 10 P. M., and fortunately few people were in the vaults. The French sapeurs-pompiers seem to have exerted themselves to the utmost extent to stibduo the flames, and about midnight began to be successful. But the intensity of the con fined and concentrated beat was such, that 1 proved at last too much for tho masonry, strong as the latter was. Tho solid arches gave way sud denlv in more places than one, and an officer o the fire brigade was actually precipitated into the fiery gulph below. A courageous comrade rushed after and succeeded in drawing him out but so dreadfully scorched, or rather toasted, that his life is despaired of. Happily it is the only fatal incident which occurred, though half a dozen other firemen are seriously if not dangerous injured. The fire was at last subdued; but the loss is great, greater perhaps than can yet be cal culated. It is stated that 300,000 francs worth of merchandise has been consum ed; and that the repairs wifi cost the city 600,000 franca. But the latter item must depend entirely npon the Injury done to the foundations by the falling in of the vaults, snd npon the necessity which that may involve of reconstructing the entire Pavi lon at the cost, probably, of at least a million. The Prefect of Police and the Prefect of Paris were both early on the ground, and it was re ported at one moment that the Emperor was there also. The excitement spread throughout the whole city, for it was reported, of course, that the entire Halles, with oil their merchandise, had been conßnmed; and that, besides the pecuniary loss to the municipality, the inhabitants were about to be deprived of their daily supplies. But we ore guiles pour la peur, and the catastrophe, as yon may perceive, might have been far worse. The subject is, in everybody’s month. To the above public emotion has been added a really cruel case of private sorrow. \ The ainl- able Prince de Beauvau, well knows in American circles, was stepping out of his carriage at tho door of the Jockey Club, of which he is a dis tinguished member and patron, when his coat caught at something; an explosion was heard, tho Prince fell to the ground, and in less than two minutes he was dead. He had placed a re volver imprudently in his breast pocket,and liter ally shot himself through the heart. Another sovereign arrived here a few days ago, on a visit to the Emperor, in tho person of Her Majesty Fatouma Djonbe, Queen of Mob6ly, a little island in the Indian Ocean, not far from Madagascar. She has come to ask assistance for her husband, who was dethroned and imprisoned some time since, and whom she naturally wishos' to put in statu quo. As Marshal -Niel, the Minister of War,\is said to have *BOO,OOO soldiers wel equipped ior any emergency, who are not likely just now to have anything particular io do in Europe, he may be gallant enough to give her tho requisite aid. Her journey is said to have been instigated by a religious society protected by the King, her husband, and for which his restoration is all im portant. The priests have been more successfu in teaching her French than in converting hor to Christianity. She is small and mignonne m per son, with yellow skin, eyes that are at once “very black, very lively and very soft,” a small mouth and very white teeth. Her hair, which is said to be straight, is (suspiciously) concealed beneath a thick veil and a diadem of gold; her dress con- PbILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JULY 27, 1868. plslb of pantaloons of orlentAl stuff, tlghtj at the ankles, and Parisian boots, with tassels and pointed heels, As in her own 'country she never wore anything but the lightest description of attire, and went bare-, footed, like the rest of her subjects, it is not sur prising that she feels somewhat embarassedby her present toilette. Her-suite consists of her eon-ln-law, a tall youth of twenty, a cook armed with a sabre, for the destruction of fowls, and a maid of all work, who looks as if she had been cut out of an Etruscan vase.

They are lodged ini tho Hotel du Louvre, and must find some differ ence between their present apartments and the “royal palace”at Mobfily, which is said to be com posed of a “row of stakes planted in the ground and supporting a large wooden cabin, to which a ladder serves for a staircase.” Vive la Heine!

[Correipondenco of the Philadelphia Evening BuUetin.l i lie Theatre Imperial de l’Opera Com ique—Lea Dragons deo Villars—«Le Clinlet->La Dame Hlanclie—filigli Maas at St. Bocli. Pakis, July-11,1868,—Yera-find-these-cursory notcß all musical, dear Bulletin, for I heartily despise a stereotyped reiteration of the glittering splendors of the Bne de Rivoli, or of the ten thou sand attractions of the Boulevard des Italiens. What American of repute has failed to write of the art treasures within the Louvre, Or to dis course of tho magnificence of Napoleon’s Sarco phagus and its surroundings! Who has' not pen.. oed the historical mementos of Pere la'Chaise and lapsed into a dolorous strain in portraying the insignificance of Marshal Ney’s resting place! And os to the Champs Elyseei, every child in America has conned its lalry-like- beauties and countless devices for pleasure, in Jacob Abbott’s “Rolls” series. What a volume might be written of the Para disaic beanty of tho JardM dAcclimalalion, if Agassiz lent his pen to the task! Who Cut he could satisfactorily enumerate the vast array of foreign animals, birds, fishes, reptiles, trees and plants that find a new home within the romantic groves, lakes, lawns and grottos, lor purposes of propagation and acclimation ? Ne sutor ultra crepidam, &c.—so I fashion these notes upon the gamut. The Grande Opera is still open, despite the range of the thermometer (93 Fahrenheit to-day) und the’ absence of the Court at Biarritz. They have disemboweled Feliclen David's Herculanum from the dust of ages—a mystical, dreamy com position as dry as the desert of Sahara. Hotter than its sands, too, is the temperature within tho Rue Lepelletier, the temporary locale of the Grande Opera until its eventual transfermeut to the palatial marble structure now rapidly adorning the Boulevard des Capu cines. I must conless to a far greater degree of comfort in the Opera Comique, facing the short Rue de Boieldieu, where, furthermore, the fight works of the modern and ancient French school are nightly given by a first-class stock company in a manner tbat leaves nothing to be wished for. Here is a superbly drilled orchestra of 50 or up" word performers—evidently musicians of long time connection with the establishment, and led with consummate ability by Mons. Offenbach, who dashes off a new opera once in thirty day!, and whose fame is by no means limited to the Grande Duchesse. It was worth a trip across the treacherous, Atlantic to hear the overture to lai Dame Blanche waved from his magic baton last night Thtre was an astounding unity of sen timent and action in every measure of the fine old composition, which well merited the tremen dous plaudits that followed. The opera was magnificently pnt upon the stage, with a richncs 3 of costume, artistic splendor of mise en scene and carefulness of detail such os I have rarely 6een equalled, while the singers, whose names are unknown in America, together with the largo and efficient chorus, constituted an ensemble of well nigh perfection. Altogether, the perform ance more than equalled those at the more pre tentious establishment hard by, where a star or two shines out resplendently from an opaque mass of wretched material. That tine, robust, martial aria “Ah quel plaisir d'etre soldo/,” was given with an unusual ardor, Buch as caused the auditorium to ring again, by an extraordinarily handsome and richly costumed artist, whose name I cannot recall at this writing. Prior to La Dame Blanche, an operetta in one a ct by Adolph Adam claimed the attention of the vast audience; a foolish, light trifle called Le Cha let, and very much inferior to thfi ever popular Postilion of Lonjumeau. It contained bat few strains that could be carried away and cherished by the habitue. The entr'actes at the French Opera are unusu ally long. With the descent of tie curtain a ter rific rush for the adjoining cafes obtains, and the garcons lose their wits in frantic efforts to supply the demands of those whom the high tempera . tore of the opera house has dried to exhanstion -1 called for some Bibre de Strasbourg last night in front of a palatial establishment on the Boule vard des Italiens. “Out/ oui!" was tho response, and garcon made a plunge into the- surging crowd With the politest, intention to gratify my demand. But the worried and tired attendant was pulled to the right and left by mingled cries of “ Demi-tasse de cqfi avec Cognac /” “Biere! Glace, Garcon, Glace!" and so on; and my chance seemed hopeless. Afterwards another dashing garcon plumped a glass of Biere de Stras-< bourg intended for some other panting individual before me; -and having demolished the plebiean draught, I lost fifteen minutes from La Dame Blanche by an honest persistence to pay some waiter whom I eonld not catch. I heard a very pretty opera by Haillart, ''Lea Dragons de Villars," at this theatre, tho\ night before. It was only known to mo prior to' that by an extremely pleasing vaise of the samo name, arranged for the plano by Francois Burg mttller. There was a sprightliness and freshness permeating the entire play that proved its composer to be a man of no ordinary mu sical attainments. So, too, tho story had its pleasing points, and tho grace, piquancy and OUR WHOIiE COUNTRY. finish of its execution wore beyond all praise. Its production in America would well repay Bate man!and the company now doing the Grand Dufhesse and La Belle Hilene.’ Apropos'of the former, Mr. Henry Dray ton, whose parlor operas yon will remember, has been playing “General Bourn” with great- applause, at the Olydipic, in London; where an English company, headed by Mrs. Howard Paul; is doing the popular offshoot of Offenbach’s genius'. There is a Vast amount'of curbstone opera here In Paris. You see the olivp-tinted Italian with his organ and monkey, or mayhap even a cage of Whined canaries, white mice, and cats, almost anywhere off the Boulevards., I have heard some of Verdi’s finest gems ground ont with sur passing sweetness from' instruments. comprising three or more stops. Only the other, evening 'I stood In the Rue SL Denis for many minutes, my heart beating in unison with the “La mia letizia” of thd Lombardi, as evoked from a melodla stop ofravishing purity. That swarthy man in the . faded “blouse fulfils his destiny. He interprets the emanations of the best masters to a lower million whOBO condition in life debars them from the ' plush cushions and gilded tiers of the Rue Lepel letier. Who shall aver that many a little heart within the gaping, tattered and dirty crowd of surrounding children is not equally touched—and gradually refined—by the labors of tho curbstone opera interpreter, with the lobby'lounger and gay halihti of the palatial opera house ? And, if the despised organ cause yon "begrimed artisan be neath the low, unhealthy looking doorway to forget lor the nonce the trials of an overworked life and a beggar's piltonco, is not the career of the wandering Italian tinged with fsomo rays of beneficence? Or who shall guaranty ’•that the little redhaired urchin whose fixed gaz'e and intense expression, of delight seem altogether bent upon the organ, while his companions tease -the monkey into chattering rage, may not be drinking in impressions tbat may germinate in a future career of musical eminence ? Let no man despise the cnrbßtone opera, so long as it ex hibits a pure and classic repertoire; bat, dear reader, when one of its artists vitiates the inher ent good taste of the public by recklessly grind ing “ Champagne Charlie” or anything of that ilk, help to stone him to death. It is perfectly awfuL Sunday, July 12th.—I have just returned from the Chuich of St. Roch, a large, unsightly edifice In the Rue St Honor., from the front steps op which Napoleon swept from the streets the sec tions who had risen against the Convention on the 14th Vendemlalre. The Chnrch contains some noble monuments to departed Abbes, as well as superb paintings—among the latter one by Ary Scheffer; in the choir. It was iny good fortune to hear a mass of Haydn executed with rare effect within St. Roch, by a powerful double choir of men and boyg. accompanied by two organs (one in the inner .sanctuary—the second at an altitude of sixty feet from the ground floor,) besides a well drilled orchestra. Edward Battiste, whose charming voluntaries are widely known in the States, had charge of the larger instrument, (although this is not his fixed situation,) and a Mons. D’Angloux mani pulated the smaller. The former organist exe cuted on intermezzo during the service, which though not strictly within the legitimate school, shall ever live in my meifiory os the most exqui site musical appeal to the senses it has ever been my good fortune to hear. A suite of variations on an original theme, lor the left hand, and exe cuted through every variety of stop combinations, alone proved him a master of his instrument; and he improvised an entree de procession of the most imposing character. One of the notable features of this service, moreover, consisted In a soprano solo, vocalized by a boy of thir teen or thereabout, with a purity o intonation, lusciousness of voice, and flexibility of execution that would urge Master Richard Coker to look well to his laurels; also, a noble barytone solo, by some man who has well mastered the art of vocalization The antiphonal effect of the doable choir and two organs, with foil orchestra at intervals, was indescribably fine—the rich volume of sounds seeming to float in graceful waves through the high-arched aisles, and anon filling the cen tral nave with resistless and unbroken, all pervading harmonic progressions. I heard nothing in London equal to this. Indeed, the vocpl music at Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s, and at the Temple Church, (where the cathedral service is much vaunted,) were very far inferior to those heard on each Sabbath at St. Stephen’s, at St. Mark’s, or at any of the Catholic chnrches in Philadelphia. Hera in Paris the various places of worship, and the hoars of service, are announced in the morning papers amid the programmes of the thea tres : as Cirque de l’lmperatrlce, Champs Elysdes, Gaite, Odeon, Notre Dame, Ambigu, L’Eglise de St. Roch.

London, July 26, Evening.—Telegrams re ceived from Rome announce the important in telligence that the Papal police have just dis covered a mine which hod been hollowed out and charged so.asto blow up, when exploded,-the new and extensive fortifications which are being con structed oniMount Aventine under the direction of French and Roman engineers. _ Two of the sen tinels on duty hear the works were assaulted and wounded a few nights since. It was feared that the Roman reactionaries or Gariboldlans, or both, contemplate a serious movement in or near the Eternal City at no distant day. Near the location, of the mine, and in the neighborhood of the camp on the Mount, the ponce found and took possession of a number of red and black shirts. The Gariboldlans have pretty gene rally substituted a black shirt, inscribed with the letters “V. M.,” or ‘(.Vengeance for Mcntona," embroidered in white on tho breast, for the historic red tunic worn so per sistently by their well known veteran leader. The simultaneous occurrence of these suspicious events has excited tho .Pontifical authorities to unusual vigilance. The licenses have been with drawn from all the wine shops situated in the Roman Campagna, and every place of seeming congregation for the radicals is closely watched. / Q yi Papal government has been considerably HMturbed lately by statements of a renewal and ■V fusion of clandestine revolutionary intrigues V tho temporal authority of the Popo, and /their officers call attention to the fact that a Genoa journal, tho Dovere, published the follow ing note from Garibaldi a short time since.

Wo hope this august Germany will not forget the sympathy of the Romans,and the wishes they constantly form for her prosperity, and that the consolidation of her power will be fruitful also to ourselves of such happy results as followed the momorable victory of your valiant army, the principal cause of the liberation of several Italian provinces. May God long preservo yonr Majesty for the glory of your dynasty, the welfare of Germany, and the admiration of Europe. —The Romans. Rome, July 3, 1868. St Peter’s was the scene oi a curious ceremony on the occasion of tho publication of the bull convoking the GJcumenciai Council for the Bth of December. 1869. This was accomplished to the sound of trumpets by a protonolary, who mounted a pulpit in the ntrinm, while tho college of apos tolic protonotaries sat on benches below. The apostolic ushers afterwards posted two copies of the bull on the colamns of the vestibule, and then Sroceeded to perform the same ceremony at St. [ary Magglorej SL, John Lateran, the Curlo,_ln nocenziana, ana the palace of tho Apostqfic Chan cery. The Pope m tends to institute a great jubilee, or Anno Santo, for 1870, which will shortly be published with the same forms. After the pro mulgation of the Bull of Convocation the Pope solemnized a pontifical high mass at the great altar of St. Peter’s. The sanctuary was thronged with ecclesiastics, cardinals, bishops, and every grade of prelate and priest, in all their variety of vestment, while the Neapolitan princes, the foreign ambassadors, and the high officials of the State and the army displayed the same pomp in the galleries. The : congregation was very large, and,' for a wonder, included os many Ro mans as foreigners. After the last gospel the Bishop of Balestrini published'a plenary indul gence for all present, which may explain the un usual attendance of Romans. The- ceremony was followed by the presentation of the Presbile rium, or alms of twenty-five pieces of gold of previous reigns, which Cardinal Mattel, dean ot the Sacred-College, handed t d the Pope from the chapter of St. Peter “pro mlssa bene cantata.” SPAIN.

Florite; General Za vala, Marquis de Tlerra-Bullones; General Cor dova, Marquis de Menvigorria, the Captain Gen eral-in-Chief of the Army, and three other lieutenant-generate—Marshal Serran y Bedoya, and Brigadier Setona. At the same time these arrests were made Lieutenant-General Rafael Echargne was ar rested at Barcelona, where he was staying with his family, and Marshal Caballero de Brodas at Zamora. In the evening the Due de la Torre, accompanied by his cousin, M. Lopez Dominique, who goes to Orotaya, left for Cadiz, on their way for the Canaiy Islands. General Dulce, who proceeds to Teneriffe, and General Serran y Be doya, who will reside at Palermo, also left for Cadiz. A few friends of the exiles were allowed to say farewell to them at the railway station. General Zevala proceeds to Lugo, Brigadier Se tona to Ibuza, and Generals Echargne and Ca ballero do Brodas are about to be sent to the Ba learic Islands. The London Times remarks that the treatment to which tho Duke of Montpensier has been sub jected can hardly pass off as a commonplace event even in Spain. It would be useless to refer to the duke’s character, to his prudent, loyal, conciliatory conduct during his twenty years’ residence in Spain. Had he, at any time between his marriago and his expulsion, been willing to cast in his lot with revolutionists ot conspirators, he would not have been at a loss for opportu nities better than the presont There is little chance, however, of the duke’s guilt or innocence ever being brought to the test of evidence. It is not in her sister of her sister’s husband that the Queen of Spain should appre hend her real dangers. In the judgment of a large party of the Progresistas the whole Bour bon dynasty is doomed, nor conld all the Dopn larity of the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier reconcile the Spaniards to the substitution of a younger in the place of the elder branch. At the very moment that Queen Isabella is driving her popular sister fromjher territories she identifies herself with all that Is most blindly, irreclaima blv backward and tyrannical The London Star finds no evidence that the Orleans princes who advised the remonstrance to Queen Isabella wished to do more than to save their family from becoming more than ever the opprobrium cf Enrope, and sinking once again beneath wantonly incurred disgraces. But when the Queen almost drove her sister from her pre sence, when the Montpensiers became avowed objects of Gonzales Bravo’s malignant watchful ness, it is hardly to be believed that the old dreams of Louis Philippe did not loom large in the vision of his family. FRANCE. The Emperor Napoleon on Political Assassination. The Xord, of Jnlv 14th, contains the following letter, dated Paris, July 12th: , “At Fontainebleau, a few days ago, the, con versation turned upon the tragical end of Prince Michael of Servio, and the manifestos of Fells Pyat, Inciting to the assassination of- the Empe ror. The fear was expressed lest such detestable examples and ench odious excitations should oc casion some fresh attempt against the head of the State. The Emperor held the contrary opinion; and as every look turned toward him seemed to claim the secret of his confidence,he spoke in these terms, which we have been able to obtain, and which wc endeavor to reproduce with the utmost possible exactness: ‘“ln the position 1 occupy, life has only ono attraction, that of being useful to the prosperity and grandeur of France.
