Iler Appearance in Public with the "Bleeding Nun." • A Paris .correspondent writes : The famous nun, Sister Patrocinio.has left her convent at San Melons°. to take up her abode with the ex. Queen. She was present, a few days since, at the de hates in the Legislative Chamber, where she attracted a good deal of attention.' Her joyous,rubicund, energetic, rather sensual face offered a curious contrast with one's usual notions of the ascetic pallor and stillness of. the conventual countenance. She was dressed in a ,7.reen cloth robe, with a white .cape (the colors of the Spanish Carmelites), and had on her head a green and sifiliciently world-looking Mote of black velvet, with a buitch of nodding black feathery. She claims to see divine visions, and the stigmata. or wounds simulating those of the nails in the hands and feet of the crucified Saviour, ppeer, at t imes: in the hands and feet. of the.. modern sa int. The ex-Queen holds her sanctity in such super stitiouskeverence that lie -wears- no-other chenuses that, those that have been worn by Sister Patroci nio ! The ex-Queen ' with her husband and a. Lady of Honor, occupied the Imperial box at the Hallett, .Where Patti's parting benefit had. brought together a crowded house. She wore a dress of pink silk. covered with black lace.and a heavy wreath of hunches of violets alternating with white camelias; a few ditunofids only. She is juituensely stout, .with henry, coarse • features, arms like pillars. and broad, projecting bust. She is said to put on remarkably majestic manners when play ing Queen; but as she showed last evening, her manner of moving seemed fidgety and rather nervous than dignified. She used her glittering fan as only tl Spanish woman can; opening it, - fanning herself for an instant and closing it, several times in '6lleCeSSifill, with marvellous rapidity, the motions of the fan being more like those of a butter fly than anything else. She and her party disappeared between each act, evidently in quest of refreshments that were doubtless provided for them in the little drawing room with wluch the Imperial box counicates. E M .Everything about her ex-ajestY im m ndicates that Ovid net one who can lire upon ADELINA PATTI. Something about her Mariner and her Success. A Paris letter writer has the following in terePaing account : Patti receiVed last evening ;Mother of those rapturous o' at ions to which she must be by this time pretty well accustomed, and for which she is indebted quite as touch to her pretty, girlish person, and her pretty coquettish wa3 4,101 to her singing. ller voice, though sweet, clear, brilliant, and capable both of touch force and pathos, lacks toluene, and when she comes out with' trortes.finte passage, is gather apt to approach the confines of a scream. Otherwise, and when not forced to undue ef forts by the absolutely exaggerated loudness of neaten' operatic Orchestration, nothing can be more penucid l sparkling and joyous, - than her, vocalization.

LETTER FlREfir ROME. Chit-Chat „About Literature, Art and Society. Correspondence of the Phila. Evening Bulletin',J PIAZZA DI SNAG! A; Rome, Italy,. April 4th.: —Dr. Winslow, the author of "tome and Nature"- (puhlished by Macmillan, London, 1869), has been wintering in Rome, with his family, but leaves us on Thursday, I am sorry to say, for Anierica The Doctor talks of going to San Francisco to settle, hut Will spend the coming winter in Boston, as he is urged :by several literary societies to deliver soino lectures. "Tome and Nature," Dr. Winsloves book hati been received by the European savants with the most gratifying praise. : Liebig writes in a private letter, which I have had the plea tiire of reading ',lite development of w br. Winslo'e ideas . .on Force and Space, Inertiaand Mind, Attrac-, lion and Repulsion; is . clear and concise, and :when I arrived at page 85 I said to myself, Dr: Winslow has won his game. There is a wort- Aerial store of knoWledge in 'that admirable work, and I belong to that number of his friends who say that they are not only pleased by his logical and charming style, - but more still—surprised at the magnittide, of the fields which he has attempted to conquer. The facts which Dr. Winslow discusses may be suhject to controversy, but my opinion is that his fun damental thesis is correct." The English journals have given the; book the most satisfactory notices. The Saturday. It cc kla, in a long, intelligent article upon the work, says: 'The aim of this book is to establish the exist ence, and to trace the fundamental laws of a repulsive force in nature complementary to the attractive force inherent in matter. In follow* out this thesis Dr. Win Slow haS shown great subtlety and strength 'of reasbn ing,combined with much width of observation' and a Marked power of generalizing froth facai." It is very agreeable to Americans when abroad to find their clever countrymen taking first rank among the leading minds of this old world. Dr.Winslowis about fifty-five; middle size, has a well-shaped bead, a clear, ruddy, complexion, and a faCe whose expression is as. benevolent as philosophical. In conversation he is accessible, candid and fresh as a boy, listens with the most ben:itching patience,and' accepts the speculations of others ay if they were worthy of all respect. He is a true Ame-I rwan, ready with pen and tongue. It is said that the Doctor lectures with the most agree able facility, and talks to his audience as if the mass was one person. Buchanan Read, hur ried as he is in finishing the large "Sheridan's Ride" for the Union League of Philadelphia, is taking time this week to ,paint one of his admirable portrait.; of Dr. Winslow, Which will be a valuble possession in the future, both as a work of this greatartiskanda.s a faithful; agreeable portrait Qf the philosopher.

His brother, Haseltine the scalp tor, is very busy finishing work to be sent off. When I was in his studio, a fortnight ago, I saw the lovely mo dels for statuette portraits of the Misses Hol laday, of California, very bea.utiful girls, who made quite asensition in the American circle this season. Mrs. Childs's excellent bust was already packed. Mr. Longfelloxv's was re ceiving the final polishing. Mr. Haseltine showed me two charming designs for statues of the two children of Mr. Michael Weaver, of Philadelphia, and " a most successful bust of Mrs. Deßourg Richards, the wife of one of your Philadelphia artists, who, by the way, has met with great success in his profession, this winter, in Rome. Mr. Haseltine's busts of Mr. Fell, Mr. and Miss Abbott, of Phila delphia, excellent portraits, are now in the hands of the marble tviiiii-men. I have just had a letter from Florence this morning, dated May 3d, giving me the grad fyin news that Mrs. J. Grillinghani Fell, who has been - ill there, is convalescing rapidly. As soon as she is able to travel, Mr.• Fell and his family leave Florence for yenice, and so on north.' In August they return to the States.

Louisiana. ' tiff New.Orlesns Nee of May 13th .l' • If any argument were needed to show - the. wickedness of the bankruptcy system and .the tendency to:destroy all a man ii sense .of . in tegrity and honor, and make him a swindler,it may be foututin the workings of the system itself, which develop to what an, extent a be-, - nevolent laky may be made use of to accoM-• 'dish objects entirely foreign "to the professed design of the. lawmaker. The Bankruptcy, law is vulgarly supposed to have been enacted for the, benefit of honest men hopelessly, strug gling iindet a load of debt. But its workings prove that few or no honest men avail them selves, of itS immoral' proidsionS, and that the only jierscitis who benefit by It are dishonest anittraudtdent debtors, and the officers of the. Bankruptcy Court. It is notorious that the creditors of the bankrupt rarely obtain from' these officers any portion of their claims, and that the,estateSplaced in their hands are eaten up with auctioneer's fees, court fees, lawyer's fees, assignee's fees,, and the 'endless charges attendant upon liquidating and winding up the business, We could, by entering into details and. following up the proceedings in almost any of these bankruptcy cases, show that the law is supposed by the officers of court to have been .enacted specially for their behoof, and that he,'who enters theortals of the Bank rirptey,-.Court may well leave hope behind him. The 'estate of Thomas L. White, bookseller,. on Canal street, lately deceased, is a case which,illustrates these observations. Mr.' White'S estate consisted of a stock of books, which. Were sold last spring by the general as signee, of the United, States Court. They realized in gross the sum of three thousand six himdred and forty-six dollars and thirty four cents, ($3,010 34), but froth this the auc tioneer's commission and expenses of sale had to be deducted. These amounted to the enor mous,per tentage of nearly half of the whole amount of the sale---say $.1,751 50. Besides the auctioneer's bill the assignee had a long string of fees - and charges amotniting to $2,04.1 75, and then:there are the Court fees—that is, the fees Of the Marshal, Clerk and Register—amount ing to $152 51; balarice against, the estate (leaving nothing to the creditors) $299 42. We state the account in form thus: Groins proceeds of books sold 83446 Charges against the estate Auctioneer. .for selling, advertis- lug, catalogueb, moving, and la "[Mr, etc $1.751 :XI • - Assignee's personal services I,Oltl Ul Week hire 317 Ul IC.7.spenses .

Would it not have been better to have done with the pro pertyjust nothing at all? It_is.pertinent in this connection to ask a question in the rule of three. If the Bank ruptcy Court fees on an estate sold for $3,640 amount to $3,945, what will they amount to on an estate sold for 550,000? Au answer to this sum in the rule of proportion will show the profitableness of the general assignee's office, and will suggest various reflections touching its surroundings.

Court for this county; 'nt .New Castle, on Monday, the case of Rhoda. Handy vs. Thomas" Jefferson Clark, came .pp for trial. . The plaintiff is an old colored woman, whO Was bought by .the defendant, living in the lower end of New Castle county, as a slave,' some thirty-six • years ago.' She and her daughter, (who brings a similar suit •to this,) remained in servitude up to last September,. ignorant of the fact that the "Year of Jtibilee" had long before arrived. They were employed! in severe farni labor, as well as .household ser vice, and upon accidentally learning that they • luid been illegally held, since the ratification of the 13th Amendment to , the Natfonal Con;. , stitution, commenced these suits on a claim. for 142 weeks' wages. . The counsel in the case were William ,C. Spruancp, 14.75 q., for plaintiff and Hon Thomas Bayard, for. defendant. ..The testimony •of the daughter was offered in the mother's ease, when Senator Bayard promptly objected that by the law of Delaware the evidence of colored pell4oThi, in this case, was inadmissible. The Court, hOwever L ordered the evidence to be taken, Chief Justice Gilpin (who was not try ing. the case) informally suggesting that the passage of the *Fourteenth .Amendment con. elusively settled the point, as to the right of colored persons to testify. It' was left ,to' the counsel tor the defence to take exceptions if ho saw proper, and argue the question- in the Court of Errors and Appeals. The argument in the case consumed all of.. Monday afternoon, and the jury was'out whew the Court adjourned. They returned, yester day, a verdict for plaintiff for $250. In the case of the daughter, a judgment for her claim was then obtained. WOMAN fiIUFFRAGE The Convention at Boston--Letters from John Stuart Mill, Robert Collyer and Others—The Duty of Congress—Enter taining Speeches. BosroY, May 26.—A public meeting, which. was largely attended; was held by the New. England Woman's Suffrage Association in Horticultural Hall to-day, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe presiding. Prayer was offered by Rev: Mrs P. A. Hannaford. Letters sympathizing with' the movement were read from Robert Collyer, Anna Dickinson, J. Stuart Mill, George William Curtis, Mrs. Edna :D. Cheeny and Hon. Geo.T. Hoar. The following is the letter of Mr. Mill : AvioNox, April Id, 18 ig.—Deer Madaiit: I an, very much honored by the. ish of the Nevr.Engiand Woman's Suffrage Association that I should'" be present at their, annual meeting, but.ihey have been misinformed us to my having any present Intention of- visiting America. Should I ever contemplate such a visit, there are no per, sons on your Hithi of the Atlantic with whom it would give me more pleasure .to exchange marks of sy - in a - than those who are working so energeticall cans° so dear to me as that of thJequal claim of human be ings, independent of sex. to the full rigl of citizenship, and freedom of competition on equal t, ins for all social advantages. I am, &c ;very sincerely yours,' J. S. MILL. The.meeting was addressed in the forenoon by Wendell Phillips, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Miss Lela Peckham, '(a young lady. studying law in Milwaukee,) Rev. Mr. ante, : of Vine land, N. J. and others, all warmly in favor of *Oman's sini#ge- " ' ' AMOng a`series' sat resolutions :Offered by Lucy. Stone Blackwell Was the. following:. Re:mired, That the sixteenth annuntmeneto the general Constitution. prepared by lion. George W:Jtilian;whicit prohibits political distinctions on account of sex, should take precedence to any national question of mere noWi eel expediency and is essential to a permanent recon struction of the Union, and is of vital importance to tho peace and of prosperity the Republic. Afternoon Semon.—At the afternoon session, Rev. Gilbert Haven said that mankind was so wedded to Custom that the call to new duties wasgenerally met by murmuring and discon tent. He claimed that woman was a man in, true, serene sense, and that no mauhad aright to say that he had rights that a woman, has not. It was not so much a right as it was a duty for women to have - the ballot. The ca pacity of woman to transact the business of men had received' a providential sanction which was equivalent to a confession of--the equality of woman. The demand of woman for the ballot ,was a necessary outgrowth of Christianity,,and it was only ignorance and prejudice that had.kept the ballot Out of her hands. British Emigration to the 'United States. . An English paper says : "During the week ending May 8, rive hundred and fifty emigrants for America sailed from Queenstown, and above three hundred who could not be accom modated in the steamers remained behind waiting for the next sailings. Dr. Mann, of Natal, declares that the reason why the United States takes hundreds of thousands of emi grants where our colonies only get tens of thousands, is contained in one word—organi zation. A good deal was said some time ago against the charitable committees of the. me tropolis. It is satisfactory to know that, philan throphy has dealt earnestly with the question of emigration. The Hon. Mrs. Hobart and other distinguished ladies are doing a noble work in this respect. Itwas only the other day they sent out a large party to. Canada by way of Liverpool, and they have already se lected 300 more individuals, who will tshortly he sent to the same part of the world." THE. STEAMER QUAKER CITY. The Steamer a British Vessel—lnter ference of the British The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Herald says The case of the Quaker City has already been the sub ject of *diplomatic confab between Secretary Fish and Minister Thornton. The hitter, It seems, went to the State Department On learning of the detention of tho vessel and stated to Mr. Fish that the Quaker City was the property of a British subject; thht Ito destination was Jamaica - and not Cuba; that it wad nut fitted up for filibustering purposes, and that, in short, her papers were all right and no sufficient ground for her detention existed. Mr. Fish informod Minister Thornton that liu would take the matter into serious consideration end give an answer as soon lit practica ble.' After ' the ' departure of Mr: Thornton Mr Fich eendnutticatoil with Secretary Botittrell , on the subject, suggesting that Collector Grinnell be 'in structed to remove tell re:Art.llo4 fl'ont the Yet;62l; ti(t 9,at oho might be at liberty to' sail for bar destina tion t nut .lit the meantime the Spanish Consulhad changed the annet of the case by having lg the vessel libelled and brouithl • under the jurisdiction of the Diotriet Court of New York. This :information - was given to Secretary Iloutwell by COliktor Grinnell, and another interview was the result between the Seem. furies of State and Treasury. -After considering the whole cue fully, both of these ofiluials have COIIIO to the conclusion that us the matter has now got 'into the hands Of the court, it. will be-morejudicious to lot n full (tura nation occur, and thus have estahllshed the full facts of the case. If the vOtisel should really prove to bo destined fur filibustering purposes, thou our neutrality .laws will have been enforced; wild on the other hand, should the opposite fact be established, the 'Spanish Government will have to pay the Costs of tho unlawful detention.
