This iniposing title—the effect of which Upon the imagina- I .tion of the distant reader is gratifying to Boa ton pride—is bestowed upon a large wooden edifice erected on St. James , Park tv few sods to the west of the Comracin. Perhaps I ahould say orer the Fark, for it really teaches beyond the limits of the enclosure. It is not extraor dinary, excepting in size. The structure is 500 feet in length anti :300 feet in width, and rums nearly north- and south. The upright walls are :36 feet in height, and the apex of the roof is 100 feet from the ground, or 64 feet higher than the side walls. - A lean-to roof extending in from the sides 75 feet, is joined to a truss roof, which spans the intermediate space of 150 feet. The lean-to roof covers the gallery at the sides, and in part, of course at the ends. The acconunodations are divided into a par- quote and four galleries, or baleonies—the balconies extending around all four sides of the building. The parquette occupies only the space between the galleries, and there are to be no seats under the balconies. The north or front balcony is 125 feet deep, and runs down to the floor of, the - parquette at an inclination oft, inches hi every 4) inches. The side balconies arc 75 feet deep, and have the same inclina tion, their fronts being ten feet from the. par quette floor. The south balcony' WO feet I cep. The space (h3voted to the orchestra is 100 feet deep, and 115 feet wide, and is raised at the front 2 feet and 9 inches above the_par quette floor—its inclination being one-half an inch to the foot. From three sides of the or chestra the chorus seats rise at the same in clination as those in the other balconies, or 5 inches in every inches. The grand chorus organ will be played at, the rear of the chorus. Three stairways, 12 feet wide, lead up to the orchestra and the chorus balcony. Something over two-fifths of the *hole building will be devoted to the chorus and the orchestra—the (itorus seats extending in the side balconies beyond the front line of the orchestra. 'I he amount of materials already consumed, or to•be consumed in the construction of the C olisieuru, is positively enormous.. It was FOtrie time, ago'stated that I,7oo,ooofeet of hun ber wnuld be required.

' The , coiniiiittee in whose bands was placed the decoration of the Coliseum for the Peace Jubilee have adopted some very lialuti ful designs. The proposed plan includes very, generaindornment of the -interior-of the - Vast stinetfire in a manner, which shall elaborately, vet elegantly typify the celebration of Peace:- National emblinis, and symbols of music and li:oniony in keeping with the character of the occat.ion, will be introduced and blended with . . -the Emblems ofPerice:' Upon the inside, abOVe the balconY and in rear of the grandpromenade,. there will be a device extending across, three - hundred feet, from side to side. In the centre, between two windows, will be a colossal figure, of the Angel of Peace, thirteen feet in height, bearing an, olive branch. In the background teeming harvest fields betoken the return of plenty' and the peaceful pursuits of huSbandry, while in the foreground, at the feet of the figure, the torch of war lies extinguished and the imple ments of discord and,yrarlike strife are broken and scattered. Upon either side, between tither windows, is apaneLwith_varabesque or naments, and rising above are threegraceful arches surrounded by elaborate scrollwork, and surmounted by a larger etch, upon the face of which the, following motto will be dis played : PEACE ON EARTH; GOOD WILL TOWARD lirEIC Upon the sides, on a line with the front of the east and west balconies, the decorations are carried the whole length of , the building. There are nineteen large trusses supporting the centre root'. Upon a line, with the .one. furthest south are the archeS already deicribed as extending across the central part of the building, above the chorus Beats. Upon the outer columns. of the remaining sections of truss work are trophies, each bearing, in rich colors, upon a banneret, the coat of arms of one of the States, .surmounted by a golden eagle, American flags depending on either side. Thirty-six of the States—eighteen on each side—are thus given a place, while Mas sachusetts, the thirty-seventh, occupies a place upon the northern wall, as elsewhere de -scribed. - EXtending along, upon the same line, from cohunn to column, are arches of twenty five feet span, pearl gray in color, with a rich border fourteen inches broad, of 'gold, blue and white. Upon the balcony fronts, each di vision of twenty-five feet forms au arabesque design on a ground of pearl gray, 'with a bor der top and bottom, and a valance of blue and gold. The top rail .of the balcony front will be covered with crimson velvet. The ceiling of the balconies Will be covered with red, - white and blue drapery: , Through the central section of the building are three series of arches; formed of festoons of red, white and blue drapery,_ caught up in rosettes at their subdivisions. On each of the two inner rows of columns there will be a .trophy of flags and streamers. The trophies' upon the columns rising from the orchestra and chorus seats (eight in number) will haire in their centres medallions bearing the por traits of eminent composers. : The Outside of the _building -will also be deperated. Upon stall's ten feet above the monitor ventilator, or • one hundred and ten feet from the ground, • there te . thirty? seven flags, six feet by fifteen- 7 one for each of the States—of alternate red, white and blue.

Not only Is the best talent of the country enlisted in the - chorus, but some of the ablest conductors. will lead the mighty hosts during the week. To conduct such an ,orchestra and chorus for a week would break down the strongest man, and I understand that the services of the following gentlemen have been secured : Carl Zerrahn, Julius Eichberg, Charles Koppitz,.„ Max Maretzek„ Theodore norms, Harvey B. Dothirorth and P. & Gilmore. As far as I can learn, Philadelphia will be represented by about one hundred of her beat musicians. Ole Bull will play first fiddle at each concert. An incitation has been sent to Vienna, to Strauss, who is.requested to be present with his grand orchestra. It is very safe to take heavy bets that Strauss will remain in his dear native land. THE CIJOHUE. The chorus will consist -of ten thousand voices. The singers were selected from various New England musical societies, and are all supposed to he 'completely familiar with the mimic upon the programme. Many persons have wondered that so much commonplace music WEE chosen. This is the reason of it. As it was quite impossible to have more than one full rehearsal, it was necessary to make' selections from well known compositions. REHEARSAL& But we have had plenty of smaller rehear sals. It may truly and literally be said that "there is music, in the air," for on every public thoroughfare, in every public halVand in nu merous private dwellings and general business headquarters there are . primary rehearsals go, ing on" day' and night; artillery, wind and string instruments, anvils and vocal combina tions are heard everywhere, and there is a general noise: all around. - - There was a sort of. general vocal rehearsal of about 5,000 voices' in the - Music Hall on Tuesday evening, on which occ&siortJubilee Gilmore wielded the baton himself. .The re hearsals 'ivere generally 'confined to the popu lar national airs, and such strains as "Hail Columbia," "The Star Spangled Banner" and. the "Harp that Once Through - Tara's, Halls" ;were among those Which were given more loudly and more etlectively than . they ever were before or ever will'be again, except in the Coliseum .I during.'-the• live eventful days of the Jubilee. Other pieces were rehearsed with almost ,equal -, : eidect arid with a.success fully ; eguaL ~" - ' • ' The singers in the surrounding cities and towns have had mpnerouis ;"thiociation . ' r+s - during the past month. or two, some evening during the present week they aregoing to assemble in Boston and harmonize their vocal powers into the same tone of their associates, and then on the morning pre ceding e inanguration. of the - Jubilee there is to be a general rehearsal of tlfe , :.. - Vrole vast chorus. THE ORGAN. I must not forget to mention Hie organ, ch is now in process of_ _construction by a ell known builder. Although . this • instru eat will contain but one rizOtrua/e(iixty-three notes) End poiale (twenty-sevennoteMand only eleven speaking stops, it is promised that it shall make more noise than any other organ in the world. 'Whether it ,will make good music re mains to be seen. I have private doubts about it myself. SOLO SINGERS. Adelaide Phillips and Parepa-Rosa will, as yotralready,knovr, sing several solos. during the festival The latter estimable lady wrote a most patifatic and affecting letter in reply to the imitation to sing. It would have moved the Committee to tears but for the postscriptal • announcement that the fair warblerwould re quire 6500 a day in addition to her patriotic feelings, as an inducement to sing her Lays. Miss Phillips displayed less emotion, and, at the same time,less eagerness for • lucre. She will get but $3OO for the week's services. Parepa heartily endorses the sentiment "Let have Peace, l ' but she lays much stress upon the pre liminary liminary condition "Let me have Cash." GLORIFICATION OF BOSTON: lAA I don't blame her. The whole under talking is a big pecuniary speculation, and as eerybody else is to make money by it, she is just as well entitled to be paid as'the „rest. In the first Place; this jubilee adVertises the city of Boston as it was!never advertised before. Then it advertises all the individuals connected with the enterprise. The organ is built by a Boston man; so is the piano;so is the Coliseum. The latter is made of Boston lumber, fastened by Boston nails, trimmed with Boston dry goods, painted by Boston painters; and the name of' every person or firm furnishing ma terial or supplies, or performing work, is bla zoned forth in big letters all over the continent. The town will be crowded for two weeks.with _ strangers, whO Will spend an enormous amount of money, and a rich, immediate harvest will be reaped by every 'Bostonian, froth the. hotel keepers to the apple women' on the corners. Of course you and:l know that the affair was called a - "Yeace" jubilee, to give it a 'national character. It is simply a big job—a splendid one, doubtlekand, splendidly executed, . but nevertheless a downright - calculation that the expenditure of so much money, and so much pains, will produce,magnificent pecuniary re sults.

A reporter, of the,.N. Y. World has had a talk) with Mr. George Peabody. We give some ex tracts from his account : To the inquiry, "What was and is the aver age opinion of Englishstatesmen and the Eng gush people of the merits of the present ques tion between the United States and Great Britain?" he responded: "Well, at first, men in England accepted Sunnier's speech.aS the utterance, as it were j of 'a man behind the throne.' They supposed that he spoke not only on behalf of the Senate and the Radical party here, but as a mouth piece of the administration itself. 'This you Know, because you have seen the evidence of it in tlie London newspapers, and because it has infected all the telegrams which have been sent from London across the Atlantic." "Mr. Sumner's speech was, then, a surprise in England ?" "A surprise, , certainly; though they were prepared for some such expression by the re jection of the Johnson-Stanley treaty. Upon that treaty all England was willing enough to stand. It had been long considered—discussed in the most public way, so that everybody un derstood what it Was. It offended very few people ' and there was a strong hope—largely clue to Air. Joluison's confidence in the matter —that the Senate-would contirm it." ______ all the loud talk by the English press mere sham talk?" "Oh, no; it wasn't altogether intended for that, be sure, It was in good part and faith the interpretation of the real feeling of Eng lishmen. When you touch an Englishman's sense 'of honor, personal or national, you touch him in the tenderest place. HO resents it. Every man in England would have been will ing to resent, to the extremity of war, the de mand which Sumner sought to get, the admin istration to enforce. Mr. Briht, who was the last manl saw in London before I left (he lunched with me at two o'clockand T left_at_ - five)conlirmed - mifiri — tlili - impression. And there is no one there who has at more earnest affection for this country than has Mr. Bright. Neither he nor any Englisman could accept, the preposterous theory of Sumner." "So Mr. Sumner, as I anticipate, has Ceased to be the recognized expositor of American opinion, in England." "Decidedly. His 'Speech, up to the time when I left had• come to be , regarded as speech made . more - for" - 'buncombe' than fbr - anything else. It was pretty well accepted as a bid by Sumner for popularity. The disclaim ers of the American press have produced a re action. Several of the most eminent repro sentative men in England, associated with every phase of politics there, whom I met, and who addressed ins in writing betbre my de partnre,, assured me of their conviction that, Sumner's logic wouldnot convince the majority on either side of the• Atlantic." "Wiih this conviction, what is the present ,attitude of the British government , and the English people?" , • "They fold their arms. They 'rest, on their .oars!. They considered that the 'Johnson'. Stanley treaty conceded everything that Great' Britain ought to concede. They will go . no' further in the way of concession They trust that the United States government will 'go no further hi the way of denmuls..; They luwe no sympathy' with the , Radical Party in, this country (I speal of the majority, of giuglish- will b e left tree to tell _of all their sufferings 'during a'ten and twenty years' residence 'Utah.

Vic tory of the Volunters 1 ';HAVANA, Saturday,•June 5, 1869.-The hall has' been set a rolling, and nobody can tell when or where it will stop. When I clOsed my letter on Wednesday noon, Dulce had just re _signed; that is to say, he had at that moment signified his preference to abdicate to being shot or dragged by the heets through the streets. Duke was by no means willing to re sign; or give in to the volunteers. His 'be havionnid the trying circumstanees On Tues day night was such as befitted a brave soldier, and ,he , only gave .in -when 'he realized that further resistance could only, result in blood! , shed and the murder ..vol . innocent persons Twice he gave the order to one of the staff of ricers to fire on the volunteers assembled be , fore the Police, but that officer. knowing that the result of the first shot would' be an indis criminate massacre of allpersona within the palace, wisely refrained from doing ao.' Duke remarked : ~ Tids• cowardly rabble knows‘well that I am.: a very sick man, too sick to mount a horse. With one hundred trinity. guards I could make all' of them run." Duke undoubtedly was right when he said this.' The elation of the volunteers has' abated ' considerably since-Wednesday, and to-daY they are as tame_as kittens. To their praise, however,it must be saidthat theyaccomlished the revolution and its object without - com mitting the slightest depredation or insulting any one.. The whole city was perfectly quiet, and ever the most notorious ifyiiipatitiZers with' the, revolution could-pass where . the lirohinteers were asseinbled Without be ing even spoken to. Not a :Shot was fired, and after 11 o'clock on Thursday night the streets were as deserted as on any other night, excepting forthe crowds of volunteers around the palace. They desired the removal of an obnoxious Governor whom they con sidered the protector of such aman as General 3lodet, whom they accused as a traitor to the Spanish cause. Since Dulce's abdication he has not been molested by word or deed; it is possible, however, that he may receive some farewell shouts on his departure more forcible than elegant 1 - Horrible Atrocities. From time to time, we, who are not accus tomed to hear of scenes of barbarism and Spanish inquisition, are startled by reading some account of an outrage more than in human committed by the factions in the field. There must be some truth in these statements, although they . do come from partisan sources. Where there is so much smoke there must be some lire. I can hardly believe that the fol lowing account is true; and yet It is published by eve.r- y journal, and under the authority of the National Committee of Matanzas, who vouch for its truth. The Cubans say it is a base lie, and I sincerely hope that it is. The following is a correct translation of the origi nal aseßublished: Prionte soldiers of the Regiment of Tarra gona, numbering twenty, were surprised by the revolutionists of the Pole, Villamil, Ma rhado and others, numbering 2,000, who sur rounded the small detaclunent at the Coma de Cruz, five leagues from Villa Clara, and de manded their surrender. Captain Mayrano, their commander, made a speech to Ins sol diers, and threw himself on the enemy, who rained a shower of balls upon them, kilhngthe Captain and fifteen of his band immediately. Five men with a Lieutenant remained alive, who, seeing all resistance useless, hoisted a white flag; a party of insurgents then came toward' them and immediately killed them with machetes, opening the bodies of some, placing a cracker Inside, and then putting a spoon in their hands. The Lieu tenant tried to excite their compassion by telling them that he was a Cuban. These par ticulars are obtained front two soldiers who feigned death, and who reached Villa Clara, where one of them died." After all these particulars and all the -ap pearance of veracity this article.contains, your correspondent still asserts that the whole is either greatly exaggerated or else untrue,--N. Y. Times.'

CUBA, NEW Your( June 10.—A painful rumor was circulated in ;his city yesterday that the steam ship City of Paris (Inman line), whichaailed. . from this port on SatUrday last, had gone down; with all on board. Inquiry at the otlice of the line revealed the fact that the agents of the vessel had hear `l nothing of the calamity, and they 'did not .• be lieVe that any accident had .befallen the fine steamship.
