Venice gives us on, this subject a case in point at St. Mark's, this very tiny—a specimen: of what some artists will do when not held in (ilea by ecclesiastical 'authority.

It is all florid ,and full of the most, disagreeable suggestions of operatic Scenes in Verdi's operas. Some of the good old ecclesiastics have never heardan opera in their lives, and are very ignorant of the objec tionable character of- the music performed before them. One day this Spring a Catholic friend and : I alighted from the carriage as a proces.sion pa&sed by with the Sacred Host. The procession was a very fine one, and was accompanied by a military band of one of the regiments. At the most solemn moment, the' hand. struck up the drunken chorus' from "Belle kielene I forget its name, but you will remember it, the droll,. absurd scene in which Agamemnon and other Trojan heroes _ -appear, with Ivreaths on their heads, wine -cups inc i an a stace — cif beastly intoxication.

Ida Lewis, the Newport Heroine. Correspoihlence of the Philadelphia Eyening Bulletin.) • Mews.. Editors: I recently had the pleasure of visiting Miss Ida—LeWis r -the—heroine of Newport, -at her home, the Lime Rack Light House, in :Newport ..Harbor. The lime stone rocks which form this island home are about two miles from the city Of Newport and are entirely • surrounded by water, the only communication being a boat. Chartering a sail-boat, and propelled by a gentle breeze, ;we soon found ourselves near enough to the rocky refuge to perceive that there were but ; I. three buildings ou,the elifN, viz.: A dwelling house,' a tool-house and a boat-house, and that 'the light-house is a part of the wall of the dwelling house, which is surmounted by a lantern, thus enabling the occupants of the house to attend to the light from within. This light, as'We had occasion afterward to notice, ; throws a broad belt of tire over a large portion of the bay, streaming out towards Fort Adams, and making the (lark waters, bright and - libau iftfriVitlftte moonlight beams. • . Notwithstanding the warnings of, the public,: papers, we pressed our way up the rocks, when; Mr. Lewis (mine out and invited us into the dwelling. On entering, we were kindly re ceived by Lewis, and SooaMisiatra forward id „„oaVe, a cordial greeting. Miss'ida Lewis is a young lady of verb* pre- , possessing appearance, sinuile and childlike in, her manners, entirely' nnallected in her de meanor: and apparently about twenty4ourr years of age. She is not tall and masculine, as she is represented in sonic "awful . pictures"' of 'her which' have already appeared print, but. light, active, graceful moving with the agility of a yawn, and her eYes.beaming with a ndble • heroism.

The Water Waste. • • To the Editor of (he Erening Maya subscriber consult you as to the Most • hopeful means of arousing the citizenly- of Philadelphia from their comfortable lethargy? Notwithstanding the wise and prudent articles that have appeared for the last few days in your paper, and in others, many of my neighbors, at least, have to-day been washing their pavements, and wasting the Schuylkill water with a calm• content. One wash-pave was running this morning for nearly an hour, while the inaid=servant'ileluge,d .the already clean pavement with pail after pail of the pre cious timid. This afternoon the same gervant has been seeking tar and neat a pitcher of Water for the household use. In the midst of all the disfress and confusion, my next door neighbor, whose pavement had heel) thoroughly washed, was heard, inortiring in a piteous tone, why the water up stairs wouldn't ?en Now, undoubtedly, these people • don't read the 'newspapers. Is thereat* , other Way of reaching them? Would it not be a good thing for the authoritiee to prohibit entirely this lavish waste of water by -a circular pro clinnation ? If it were not for the danger of tire it would be rather amusing to see _these pavement-washers when they find the supply of water gone; but the risk nitao imminent' for fun. doubt it is a blessing to have our gutters cleaned, by the rithningwater; but life and safety have the first claims. We have been a laughing-stock for years for our unne cessary scrubbing. 'Do not let us add to the distinction death by thirst or destruction by tire.

Editor of the Evening Bulletirt:—Silt: We wish to suggest to the intelligence of City Councils ilieqeat desideratutri of having our few wide streets in Philadelphia cleared of all their present incu.mbrances. We now refer to the market-sheds, whiCh- mar the -beauty and width of Callowhill ' street; Spring Gar den street, Girard avenue, Eleventh street, - amilvideportions - OfSeCond streetanti 3foya- Mensiner a venlte„::_atni range centre -boulevards, the same , as now seen on portions of ; Spring - Garden street with trees, flowers, fountains-arid - shrubbery, - tfunting - ag 7 fzr n, !' possible - their length Let all of those wide - thoroughfares lie paved:With the Belgian or _Nicalson_pavement; and-the-sidewalks -with -flags (worthy the attention of property owners), and .we will have improvements which will make those avenues in. time handsome and fashionable promenades for shopping, and drives, and features of the city. The work of cleating our few wide streets' of mar ket-sheds commenced with their demolition on Market street, and it should never have been suspended:until these eye-sores and dirty shambles were 'removed' from all our wide streets,we have too few wide avenues in this city to permit them to be thus ebstkucted, and it can lie only partially remedied by letting us have the few we have got. Let the city build market-houses for the occupants of these sheds and transfer them to theni, and- remove squatters from the city side-Walks; and oblige them, as others have, to pay rent; thus gain will be effected in. two ways: the aAlormaCut of the city with Suitable avenues, and ari in creased and only just 'revenue to the City Treasury. .

THE MOBILE Itlol% • What the Rebel Papers Say. • A Mobile correspondent of the Tribmle «•rites : No legal investigatiOn has been instituted to tix the responsibility of the riot where it be longs, but all has been left to the Democratic press here to hash up as the several editors think best, and thus; by their incendiary arti cles to, if possible, renew the riot by working upon the " canaille" of the city to hang and _shoot carpet-baggers asth nstigatursrand-the blacks as the rioters.

' ' The Daily Re!Uder of the same date says: There are dozens of miscreants in this city who have jeoparded the safety of onr wives and children. If a burglar enters.. a man's house at midnight, ho not, only has the sanc tion of the law to kill him, but he merits and receives the plaudits of society; but here we _have it - ,, ,, ang - o.f villains who - inilitmCd WO pas- MOMS of thousands of barbarians and then put iirebraints and arms in their hands and ordered them to burn and slay.

What they may have done in the late riot has been done in self-defence. There is organizing 'a reign of terror here. For some time the daily papers, haye been teeming with such in cendiary appeals as are contained in the • above extracts; and still no one of these editors has been brought to task for inciting riot, and no one of them will be troubled by the authorities here, whatever may ho written or published by these journals: There area larger number of men here, wha class them selves as Democrats, who did; not vote in the late elections, and who do not indorse the incendiary article., of the Democratic press: but they cower like whipped" hounds 'under the lash ofJohn Forsyth's diatribes, and do not dare speak or act in opposition to the die- I tates of their party leader's. Is it nor a singular fact that the only Persons killed in the late riot are Colored: meu? It is the same old story.
