NEW Ealy,Florence and Venice: From the French 44 .- 11. Table; by J.. - Durand. by' Leypoldt Holt, N. Y. For 'sale by J. 13.. Lippincott & Co. • This book concludes the narrative of id. Taine's transmontane journey, - supplementing the previous volutne,,which was devoted.to the regions of Naples, and Rome. That first vol ume, upon its appeamnce in English a year ago, we made the subject of an elaborate examination in these columns. We need not repeat what we then said about the eminence of Taine as a word-painter and as an art-critic. Ills reputation, by that very book, has been mach extended in the meantime. The narra tiiii it . sometimes seems to us, is the sole guide iviiielis a person of refinement and culture could endure in the Land of . Art. It has just' the tone and accent grateful to the modern educated tourist. Its scope is that of society and of lestheti9; no fact is Stated but with a delicate reference to the ideal point of view;, the past glory and the peculiar poetry that belong to Italy are made to be felt in every page. , Taine's, philosophies of art, which are most noticeable but are not above criticism, do not:ligeonie prominent enough in these journal's to excite any hostility. ' A tide of sympathy and &lighted admiration carries the reader wherever the - pathway leads, and into the utmost and frankest recesses of the writer's heart: Our criticism shall be confined to the tringlities part . ; . he does not seize the pecu liar light elegance of Taine's style, and often makes . a careless blunder; as where lie ealis OreagnA "Death," (a female figure,) "an old ginybeard," in a passage which lie renders most infelicitously. For the first extract let us present his picture, --Openly superficial, the impression of a tourist, —of Italian society, as obserVed in the north ern cities: TUSCAN lAFE IN FLORENCE AND BOLOGNA , That which .strikes one among the young men here, as . in Florence and else Where, that which is noticeable in the faces at the theatre, on our proMenades, and in the streets, is a cer tain amorous air, a gracious smile and tender and expansive ways; nothing is there of French hardness or irony. They utter the terms belie, vd;qgosa, raga, leggiadra, with a peculiar ac cent like that of Don Ottavio in Mozart or of the young tenors of the Italian Opera. On the stage in Florence the tenor kneeling to Marguerita was inconsistent, but he perfectly expressed that state of mind. For the same reason people dress in light colors pleasing to the eye and wear rings and heavy gold chains; their hair is glossy and there is something Moaning and brilliant throughout their per- SODS. As to the women, the bold and dark eye, thCli deep black hair audaciously knotted or massed in 'lustrous plaits, the vigorously de fmCd forms of cheek and chin, the brow, often square, the large and well-set visage below it, and the solid boniness of the skull, forestall any appearance of gentleness or delicacy, and, generally, even any air of nobleness and purity. To make amends, the structure and expression of their features denote energy, brilliancy, gay self-confidence, a positive and clear intellect, and talent and will to turn life to the best ac count. On looking in the windows of the bookstores at the figures provided by the makers of political caricatures for Italy and its provinces, we recognize this very character; although.gnii&.S.cps and-:allegorical goddesses, their heads are short and round, and grossly gay and sensual. Nothing can be more significant than these popular per sonageS and these recognized types. By way of contrast, look at the mild English female of Punch, with long curls and bran- new frocks; or the Frenchwoman of Marcelin, coquettish, sprightly, and extravagant, or the candid, honest, primitive German woman, somewhat stupid, of the KladderadatNth and the minor journals of Berlin. I have just Strolled through the streets of Bologna; it is nine o'clock in the morning; and of four wo men there are always three of them frizzled and nearly in full dress; their keen eye boldly fixes itself on the passers-by; they go bareheaded, some of them merely letting a black veil hang down over their shoulders; their hair swells out superbly on both sides of the head; they seem to be equipped for conqttest; nobody could imagine a more naturally triumphant physiog nomy, and air more like that of a prima -donna in.the clouds. With a character like this, the spirit and the imagination of men, they must control. What can be done at a table (iliac if not to look about one? In this forced silence and society the brain and eyes are both busy. The lady facing me is the wife of a major on garri son duty in the Abruzzi, beautiful although mature, gay, prompt, self-confident—and what a tongue ! N orthern and Southern Europe,the Latin and the Germanic races are a thousand leagues apart in this tiicility of expression, in bold judgment and in promptitude of action. She argues and decides everything—the in dolence of the Abruzzi peasantry, their r en dette, the embarrassments of the Government, her dog, her husband, the officers of the battalion, "our fine regiment, the. 27th." She addresses me, and then turns to her neighbor, an ecclesiastic, who, like the rest, has the same Italian air, that is to say, he is gallant and obse quiously polite. Her sentences flow out with the velocity and sonorousness of an inexhaustible torrent. Day before yesterday, another, about forty-eight, in a black spencer puffed with rib bons, and with a red face, entirely absorbed the conversation and made the apartment ring with her tattle and exclamations. The other day a pretty little borer yeoise became indisposed in the diligence ihterikure; and her husband had her removed up to the impCriule by our side. She questioned us all, and corrected my errors of pronunciation; after having two or three times in succession misplaced an accent, or not having caught the precise lone, she be came impatient and, gave me a scoldin-. She informs us that she is just married; that she and her husband hadn't a cent with which to begin houSekeeping, etc.; there me three men alongside of her,. and she it is who takes and keeps the lead. I have in my mind fifty. other- --" ...ty others, of whom may be grouped around these three types. - The dominant trait is a vivacity and a clearness of conception boldly exploding the moment it is born. Their ideas are all cut out at sharp an ,glees; she is like the Frenchwoman, more vigorous than fine; like the latter, and more than the latter, she is self-willed; she Makes of herself a centre; she does not await direction him another, she takes the initiative. There is nothing iu her of the mild; the timid, the modest, or the reserved, no capacity for bury ing herself in her household with her children and husband in Germanic fashion. I involun tarily: compare her with the English women who, are .present.. Some there are very peculiar, puritanic at heart, rigid in mo rality; the fruit of mechanical principle's; one especially in her straw hat like an ex:- lingnisher,' a ' genuine spinster' in embryo,. without toilet, grace, smile, or sex, always si lent; or when she speaks, as keen as knife blacle: She' without doubt, to that *cies of young lady who is • found aseemding the: White Nile alone with her -mother, or clambering up Mount Blanc at four in the morning lied to two guidei; by a rope, her .dress. converted. • into trowsers, and striding along - over the glaciers. In that country arti ficial selection has produced sheep especially for Meat; 'And 'natural selection, women-. especially: for action.:,, But the .same :force has operated more frequentlY in another sense;. the despotic energy of :the' mani:;and .he ngeessity of a tranquil 'home to daily • laborer - hive developed in the ' woman qualities belonging to the ancient Germanic stock, naMely ; a capacity for subordination and'respect, timorous reserve, aptitudes for do mestic,. life, and the sentiment of duty. She re mainsoccordingly, the young girl even into matriinony; on being spoken to she blushes; if, with all possible precaution and circumspec tion, one tries to draw her out of the silence in which she is immured, she expresses her senti ments with extreme modesty aid' immediately relapses. She is hinneasurably removed from any aspirations_or command, of In the ini tiative, of independence even. n all the En glish couples I have recently met the man is chief; in every Italian couple it is the woman. For a panorama-picture, what can be better than this of • FLORENCE FROM THE " ANNUNZIATA" ? I have just passed an hour on the square of the "Anmmziata," seated on a flight of steps. Opposite to me is a church, and on either side of this a convent, all three with a peristyle of light half-ionic, half-corinthian columns, tenni, nating in arcades. Overhead am brown roofs of old tileintersecting the pure blue of the sky, and,' at the end of a street, stretching away-in the warm shadow, the eye is arrested by a round mountain. Within this frame, so natural and so noble, is a market; stalls pro-. tected by white awnings contain rolls of dry goods; countless women in violet shawls and straw . hats come and go and are buying and chatting; there • are scarcely any beggars or ragged people; the eyes are not saddened by spectacles of misery and savage brutality; the people seem to be at their ease and active with ont being excited. FrOm the middle of this variegated crowd and those open airy stalls rises an equestrian statue, and, near this a fountain empties its waters into a basin of bronze. These contrasts are similar to those of Rome; but instead of clashing they harmo nize. The beautiful is as original, but it in clines to the pleasing and harmonious and not toward disproportion and enormity. Yontium back. A beautiful stream of clear water, spotted here and there with white sand banks, flows by the side of a magnificent quay. Houses seiiiiiing to be palaces, modern and yet monumentaYorm a bordering to it. In the distance you observe trees donning their spring verdure ' a soft and pleasing landscape like those of temperate clinics; beyond, rounded summits and hillsides, and sitll farther on an amphitheatre of barren rocks. Florence lies in a mountain basin like a statuette in the mid dle of a vast fountain, and its stone lace work becomes silvery under the bright lustre of the evening reflectiBns. You follow the course of the river and reach the Cassino. Fresh green and the delicate tintings of distant poplars undulate With charming sweetness against the blue mountains. Tall trees and dense evergreen hedges protect the promenader.from the north wind. It is so pleasant on the approach of Spring, to feel one's self stirred by the fresh warm sunshine! The azure of the sky glows magnificently between the budding branches of the beeches, on the pale verdure of the ilaX, and on the blue-tinted needles of the , pine. Everywhere, between gray trunks animated with sap, are blooming tufts of shrubbery that have not succumbed to winter's sleep, and fresh blossoms, combining with their youthful vivacity, to fill the avenues with color and fra grance. The light laurel profiles its grave tops against the river bank, as in a picture, while the broad Arno tranquilly expands its ruddy gleam, ing wavesin son.tct glow . You:leave the city and ascend an eminence in order to embrace it and, the valley in one view in the rounded vase in which it lies; nothing could be more charming. Comfort and prosperity are apparent on all sides. Thou- Sands of country houses dot the surface with their white spots, rising above each other from slope to slope even to the mountain heights. On every declivity the tops of the olive trees cluster together like sober grazing flocks. The soil is supported by walls, and forms terraces. Man's intelligent band converts all to profit and at the same tine into beauty. The soil, thus disposed, 'assumes an architectural shape; gardens are grouped together in stories among balusti ades, statues and foun tains. There are no great forests, there is no luxuriance of abundant vegetables; it is only norfhet n eyes that need to feast themselves on the universal softness and freshness of vege tal growth; the grouping of stones suffices for the It: and the neighboring mountain fur nishes them, according to fancy, 'with beautiful white or bluish blocks. sober and refined in tone. They arrange them nobly in symmetri cal lines; the marble fronts of tile houses glisten in the transparent atmosphere, accompanied with a few grand trees always green. One can here enjoy sunshine in winter and shade . in summer, while the eye idly wanders over the surrounding landscape. Afitr. in the distance, a gateway is seen, a canipanile and a church. This is San Miniato, situated on a hill and developing its facade of variegated marbles. This is one of the oldest churches in Florence, belonging to tbe • eleventh century. On entering it yon find an almost latin basilica, capitals almost&, , recian. and light polished shafts beating round arcades. The crypt is similar. There is nothing lugu brious about it or overburdened; ever the up sprifiging column terminating in harmonious curves. •Florenthie architecture from the very first derives or resumes the antique tradition of light and solid forms. Early historians call Florence "the noble city, the daughter of Rome." It seems as if the melancholy spirit of the middle a g es had only glided over it. She b is an elegant pagan, who, as soon as she first thought, declared herself, first timidly and after wards openly, elegant and pagan. But the passages above quoted do not reveal the speciality of M. Table. He travels, ex pressly and peculiarly, to collate art-impres sions. His whole journey is an examination of the records of the Italian sculpture and paint ing, undertaken to prepare himself for the chair of JEsthetics, in the School of Fine Arts. How some of the earlier art of the Florentine school strikes him, may be seen, from the fol lowing striking,though, perhaps,rather patroniz ing-remarks-upon-the-freseoes-of-Ohirlandtrij • , in the church of Santa Maria Novella, at Florence : • OIIIELANI)AMO They are poorly lighted and awkwardly piled up on top of each other; but toward mid day they can be seen. They represent the story of St. John the Baptist and the Virgin,. the figures being-half the size of life; Though education as well as instinct this painter, like his cotemporaries, is a copyist. He sketched people while passing his goldsmith's shop, and the resemblance of his figures excited admira tion. He regarded "painting as wholly con sisting of drawing." Man, to the artists of this epoch, is still only a form; but he had so just a sentiment of this form and of all forMs, that on copying the Roman amphitheatres and triumphal arches, he drew them as accurately with the eye as if with a compass. Thus prepared one can readily see what speaking, striking pOrtmits he. put, into his frescoes; - there are -twenty-one of . these, represent ing • Persons • whose names are known, Christolore Landiui, Mein, Politian, the Bjshop of Arezzo,others of Women—that of the beautifill Grinfivra de Bench all belonging to familitis controlling the patronage of chapel.

I alf-modern half-feudal Florentine' features, so animated mid so intelligent. In the "Nativity of the Virgin' the young girl in a silk skirt, who comes on a visit, is the plain .demure young lady of good condition; in the "Nativity of St. John" another, stand ing, is a mediaeval duchess; near her the servant bringing in fruits, in statuesque drapery, hag the impulse, vivacity, and force of ,an antique nymph, the two ages and the two orders of beauty thus meeting and uniting in 'the simpli city of the same true sentiment. A fresh smile rests on their lips; underneath their Semi-im mobility, under those remains of rigidity which imperfect painting still leaves, one can divine the latent passion of an intact spirit and a healthy bOdy. The curiosity and refinement of ulterior ages have not reached them. Thought, with them, slnmbers;, they walk or look straight before them with the coolness and placidity of virginal purity; in vain will educa tion with all its animated elegancies rival the divine uncouthness of their gravity. It is not until he arrives at Venice, however, M. Taine culminates. He delivers him self up to the intoxication of Venetian art with a strange kind of voluptuous abandon which makes the richest word-pictures in the previous page's seem wanting in the true perfection of 'enjoyment. The Venice episode terminates the history, and with this Venetian extract we close: IMPRESSIONS OP THE VENETIAN PICTURES When, after quitting Venetian art, one tries to gather up his impressions into a complete whole, he is sensible only of one emotion, and that is like the sweet sonorous echo of - perfect enjoyment. Part of a naked foot issuing from silk mottled with gold, a pearl whose •milky brightness quivers on touching a snowy neck, the ruddy warmth of life peering out beneath transparent shadow, the gradations and alterna tions of clear and sombre surfaces following the muscular undulations of the body, the opposi tion and agreement of two :flesh-tones lost in each other and transformed by interchanging reflections, a vacillating light fringing a piece of dark metal, a purple spot enlivened by a green tone, in brief, a rich harmony due to colors manipulated, opposed and composed as a concert proceeds from various instruments, and which fills the eye as the concert fills the ear—this is the one peculiar endowment. By this inventive ness forms are vivified; alongside of these others seem abstract. Elsewhere the body has been separated from its surroundings, it has been simplified and reduced; it has been forgotten that the contour is only the limit of a color,that for the eye color is the object itself. For, so soon as the eye is sensitive it feels in the ob ject, not alone a diminution of brilliancy ,pro portioned to its receding planes, but again multitude and a mingling of tones, a general blueness augmenting with distance, an infinity of reflections which other bright objects inter sect and overlie with diverse colors and inten sities, a'constant vibration of the interposing atmosphere where floats imperceptible irri descences, where there.are growing striae quiv ering and speckled' with innumerable atoms, and which fugitive appearances are incessantly dissolving and `vanishing. The exterior as well as the inte rior of beings is only movement, change and transformation, and their complicated agitation is life. starting from this the Venetians vivify and harmonize the infinite tones uniting to compose a tint; , they make perceptible the mutual contagion by which bodies communi cate their reflections; they augment the power by which an object receives, returns, colors, tempers and harmonizes the innumerable lumi nous rays striking on it, like a man who, straining soft cords, enhances their vibrating qualities in order to convey sounds to: the ear which our coarser ears had not yet detected. They develop and thus exalt the visible exist ence of things; out of the real they fashioh the ideal; hence a new-born poesy: Let there be added to this that of form, and that genius through which they invent a complete, spontaneous, original, intermediary type be tween that of the Florentines and that of the Flemings, exquisite in softness and voluptu ousness, sublime in force and in inspiration, capable of furnishing giants, athletes, kings, empresses, porters, courtezans, the most real and the most ideal figures, in such a way as to unite extremes and assemble in one personage the most exquisite charm of sensibility and the most grandiose majesty, a grace almost as se ductive as that of Correggio, but with richer health and more vigorous amplitude, a flow of life as fresh and almost as broad as that of llubens, but with more beautiful forms and a better regulated rhythm, an energy almost colossal as that of lichael Angelo, but without painful severity of revolting despair:—then may one judge of the place which. the Venetians occupy among painters, and I do not know if I yield to personal inclination in preferring them to any.

Popular Preachers. Mr. Spurgeon, we believe, exaggerates and intensifies the popular style. He deals in broad sayings, in plain speaking, in strong, vigorous unqualified expressionS. This is what an effective sermon should be, and is the essence of a proverb. A preacher cannot waste—if it is wasting—his time in lookinc , out for counter views, in making allowance fog qualifications. He scorns limitations and distinctions. The proverb and the preacher are here at one. Hence it is that people preach best in their youth, and that many a good preacher gets afraid of the pulpit and in mature age suspects his old•telling talk, and the . confident, decisive, and therefore attractive matter and manner of his earlier years as a larger experience of men and things makes him reflective, cautious, and, as his hearers say, timid and uncertain and hesitating. A man with ripe views, or rather whose views are' getting constantly 'Modified and checked as lie sees more of life, cannot preach well. -li," requires a certain narrow mindedness to preach what is called effectively. Youth is the season for, vigorous language and earnest convictions, and for confidence and decision. And as it.is with intellectual, so it is with festbetlcal, qualities. A formed judgment revolts at the crudities and unargu ing assumptions, and, in all' senses of the word, the phesumption of the earlier stages of intellectual growth, and revolts also at an over confident and 'blustering manner. A man must have something, perhaps much, of the feminine nature to preach well. A wo man of good feelings and intentions feels it to be a moral duty to express exactly what is in her mind—what are her convictions—only be cause they are her sincere and honest convic tions. So must the preacher, if he is to preach well—that is, to preach sermons that will tell. His concern, he thinks, is not so much with what may be said on the other side, nor even to recognize that there can be any other side, hut, because a thing is in him, to out with it, as he would say. This is Mr. Spurgeon's man ner. It is in his book as in his sermons. It is simply unfaithful to suppose that there are two side to any question, and to be in earnest is only to be quite certain of your own line, and immeasurably scornful Of eVettything else. A preacher, to be very popular with congrega tions such as most congregations are, must be dictatorial and magisterial, contemptuous, vi olent and addicted to strong language. Whether these qualities are finks or excellences, far be' it from us to say, but they are Mr. Spurgeon's, and he is a popular preacher; and he has pub lished a book full of abrupt, unproved, and unargnmentative assertions. And proverbial philosophy, as it is oddly called exactly because there is no philosophy in it, consists of assumptionsof this coarse and impetuous, but telling, character.—Saturday Review. We have received from L. Prang & Co. a companion to their "Barefoot Boy,"-which was a great financial success. There is no reason why the picture of "Wild Fruit," after Lamb din, should be less popular. It represents a little country hoyden standing in a brilliant light and feeding herself from a clambering fox-grape. It is our duty to acknowledge the progressive improvement of Prang & Co. in all the more serious works they put out. Those who enjoy chromos will consider "Wild Fruit" an acquisition. We.hope the copy will extend the very genuine and well-based reputation of the original painter, Mr. G. C. Lambdin, lately of this city and now Of New York. EXCURSIoNs.

It also demonstrates that the kiTAR WATER contains about 100 Cubic Indies Moro of Gas in a gallon than any other spring. It is this extra amount of gas that imparts to this water its peculiarly sparkling appearance, and renders it so very agreeable to the taste.

The Emperor was not present, and Itouher, Minister of State, made the opening speech. He said the Chamber was convoked to verify its authority.

ROMP., June 28.—The Pope delivered an al ' locution yesterday, in which he reviewed the' condition of the Church hi Italy. and other. countries. He deplores the Italian laW sub-: jecting clerical students to military comicription as an infringement of the immunities, rights„ and liberty of the Church.'He dwells' on the. evils afflicting the Church in Austria'and Hun-gary, and on the complaints, of the bishops in; those countries. The events in Spain give cause for sadness' and moiuning. The zeal of the bishops in Po land, undaunted by Russian persecntion; is a source of consolation. The allocution con-t eludes with these words: "Let the enemies. of ! Christ consider the fate of Hisenemies. Let us i pray tbat'they May be restored to the paths Of: justice, and thattb.e Chtitch may be ,crowned I with fresh triumphs." Country lUmnis. "This is a great countryforratirOath, but you have execrable common roads," said an English traveller. Americans who , have travelled in Ireland come home amazed and delighted with : the common roads of that island. So great is the difference between those and ours that ' the Jaunting-car, a very pleasant and Commodi ous . vehicle, could not be used here at all, whereas there one horse draws sib persons. in it. We have the reputation of making the strongest carriages.in the world, and doubtless we deserve it, for a road wagon must be well made here, or it would not last a Seasonthrough. Yet It has been demonstrated that good roads cost less than poor ones; the first ebst is great er, but the repairs are far more cheaply done, and fewer horses are required for service. In France, according to an article in Van Nostrand's Engineering Magazine, there were in 18:.55 forty-fiv,e thousand miles of highway, on which merchandise was transported at a yearly cost of ninety millions of dollars. But com petent French engineers estimated at that time that at least one-third of this amount, or thirty millions of dollars; could be saved by k6epin,g the roads in the best possible condition, A practical test is cited, in the case of the post road between Tours and. Caen.—"a length of about one hundred and fifty miles, which in 1836 was announced in an official report as being in so bad a state that without a special credit of ten thousand dollars, and a great ad ditional provision of materials, there was danger that it would becomeimpassable. In an Juary., 1837, its reconstruction was aim menced., In August, 1838, it was reported to be in a very good and constantly improving state. In 1834 the mail had always required ' five horses, and 'in one.year eleven were lost by overwork. In 1837 from four to five horses were required. In 1838 the number of horses was reduced to three. In 1841 only two were required of mid- Wing quality, and none were lost from over work. In 1&39 a lighter class of conveyances than that formerly - employed was introduced, carrying nine passengers, drawn by one liorw at between seven and eight miles an 'hour. The expenses of maintainance in 1837 were for materials, $2,900; labor, $2,500; total $5,400. In 1841 they were for materials, $BlO ; for labor'. $2,200; total, $3,010. It will be thus seen that while the eXpense for labor remained nearly the saffie, the cost for materials diminished more than two-thirds." From our la* editions of Yesterday By the Atlantic Cable.

DUBLIN, June `2B.—Large meetings were held, yesterday, in various parts of Ireland, in favor of the release of the Fenian prisoners. At the Cork meeting there were five thousand people present, and at Dublin two thousand. Similar meetings were held at Limerick, Ennis, Mulligan, and Drogheda. Able speeches were made, and resolutions passed. From Washington. WAsttxo'rox, Junq 28.—Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Richardson,on the 22. d inst., addressed a letter to First Comptroller Tay lor, asking for, a construction of the clause of the law 01 March 3(1,1869, which reads "sixty female clerks, $72,000," as to whether it meant to increase the compensation of female clerks from SWO to $1,200. The Comptroller has written a lengthy reply, in which he says that the provision does not assume to increase the compensation, and the absence of words pre senting an increase in the act 4s expressive of the intention that none should .be made. • Several naval officers; headed by Vice Ad miral Porter, paid their respects to the new Secretary of the Navy to-day. : , The clerks were also introduced, to whom he said that owing to the favorable report made to him he saw no reason for making any changes among them.
