LETTER FROM ITALY.
liallway Journey front Bonze to Siena...
Scenery and Incidents.
t Conon:end ence of tho Philo,. "Eventlig Mallen:o
VILLA BARGAGLIA, SIENA, Italy,. , Sept. 21,
1809.—The railway journey from Rome to this
place is one of the most
.pleasant I know of,
especially if made ou a fine mid-September
lany ' cool and bright—as was the day I came.
It can be done in one day and evening with
'oat fatigue. I left Borne a little after 8 o'clock
on the morning of the' 15th September, and
arrived at Sierra at iii that same evening.
=The railway frolir Rome to .ClVlWiecelia
has been in operation for ten years; from Leg
' horn to Siena there has also been railwaycora
inunication, and from Leghorn towards Rome
1 there has likewise been railway passae for a
short distance; but about two years ago the
entire route from Rome to Leghorn was com
pleted. There is very little difficulty in making
the journey,even alone, but it would certainly
be more agreeable to ladies if a ticket could be
taken allthe way through. These unfortunate
political troubles in Italy, however, make that
impossible, I bought my ticket at Rodie for
Leghorn;.the price was 40 francs—a' first
class seat—about S 8 gold ; 5 francs . for my
trunk, which was quite a moderate-sized af-
fair.
We learn to be economical about this lug
gage business after we have been a little while
in. Europe. The charges for bagaglia, as it ii
called, are enormous. I remember when I
arrived in Europe last autumn the expense I
of my luggage from Naples to Rome was
twice the amount of my own ticket—slo for
mys'elf and 820 for my trunks and boxes. To
be sure I Was just front a sea voyage and had
boxes of books, trunks or clothing and all the
things required for a lOng stay in Europe.
But when you make ajourney in Europe it is '
better to put your belongings into' as small a
space a possible, if you wish to save your
locket and keep your money to spend on
more desirable things than a trunk or band
box. Italians carry a great amount of lug
gage inOt the cars. I went from Frascati to
Borne two weeks a:. o in the first-dais car and
bad to 'sit In a most - uncomfortable manner
•
with iny*feet on a large valise trunk, which
belonged to an Italian, and which ought to'
,have gone in the baggage-car. It certainly
was quite as large as the one for which I was
charged 5 francs last WedneSday, While on
this subject of traveling expenses, I will giVe
the cost' of the whole journey. My- ticket
from Leghorn to Siena was 15 francs ; lug
gage, 3 franca. Thus the whole journey was
francS—aliout "Sl2 gold. This,it must be
• retnernhered, was first-class.
The second-clas,,earsarc very good, and . if
I had been with 'partY T would willingly
have faken a seat there; but a woman travel
ing alone in Europe is forced to spend more
money onler journey than a man, for . the
sake of protection and personal comfort.
The journey from Bowe to ,Leghorn is de
lightful. The rail Way runs through -a pro
vince called ,La 3S4areinma. The sea is in
sight a great part of the way; sometimes the
road runs close to the shore, and it is a most
refreshing viewafter a summer spent in and
nearitome. I enjoyed it greatly. The 3ledi
terranean came dancing in on the beach, toss
ing up the pretttest little "white sheep" imagi
nable. The Swiss call these white foam-caps
on the waves "petits moutons." The waters
which washed un on the coast looked like a
broad border of malachite; farther out it
deepened into a rich lapis-lazuli hue. I had
found Rome the last week rather wearing and
oppressive, and Frascati was damp with the
heavy. Septembei-dews, so this railway sweep
along the beautiful Mediterranean coast and
the fresh sea air were peculiarly delightful and
invigorating.
After I left Leghorn the road took me to
Pisa and Empoli, and we journeyed inland
towards Florence. At Empoli, where the
passengers for Siena leave that train (which
goes on to Florence), I changed cars and
turned my face southward again to Siena.
There was a full moon, the air ;was fresh and
the country like a garden. The moon
light silvered the thick leaves of the ilexes and
holm oaks. Many a lovely description I had
read of Italian scenery by moonlight enure to
my thoughts, and I felt as if I was in some en
chanted state of existence—in Theophile Gau
tier's mythical land of Art. Speaking of Gau
tier reminds me of one of my traveling
ceinpanions—a Polish lady who traveled
front Leghorn to Empoli in the same carri
age., As we• were alone, we, fell very natu
rally into an agreeable talk. She was from
Warsaw, and bearing this niatie me mention
the names Of different Polish friends to her.
I found She had known Madame Jerichau-
liammum (Whose paintings Gautier admires),
— amt — hiit — family when this great artist was
Mlle. Baumann. They belonged to a Protes
tant circle in Warsaw; indeed, my traveling
companion was the, daughter of a Protestant
clergyman. She gave me many interesting
accounts of the Baumann faintly. They were
all artists of some kind. One sister, Mlle.
Rose Baumann, was quite celebrated as a
singer. She spoke in the highest terms of them,
and said they were as highly esteemed for their
excellence of chafacter as-they were admired
for their great gifts.
Jeriehtin-Bauinann,of whose beautiful
pictures I have spoken in my last winter's
letters, will spend next winter in Rome, and
the ensuing season will probably visit Arne
rica. Ilie_rich coloring, poetical designs and
bold, vigorous execution of her great works I
am sure will be, greatly admired. .In;lier last i
letter she sent me a pleasant message 'from •
..Hans Christian Andersen. I was speaking of
'if, to the friend wiiom I am at present visiting;
and she told -me a eliOrnaiiig story apropos to
Anderson. Whenlio visited Rome eight years
ago he was the guest of Story, in his apart
ment at the Palazza Barberini. Andersen
was asked What sort, of entertaiMnent would
please • him' Ile 4 replied :-- A chil
dren's party: ..SO :all the juvenile friends
of his • host and hostess were
assembled toiethet. Hans Anderiam looked
like a great stork in an'aviary• of .pretty ;little
birds, but he soon gathered them around him
and interested thetn 'deeidy in 'a lag , Strain of
delightful fairy tales. , The children listened

ing with delight. After a while the doors
were thrown open, and Mr. Story appeared,
dressed as the "Pled Piper of Hamelin."
The children were wild with fun, and they
and Andersen pursued the Piper in every di
rection. My friend who told me the story
turned, to BroWning, who also was present,
and said
"Read them your poem."
"They would not understand it," auswerd
Browning.
"They would at least understand something
about what they are enjoying," urged my
friend.
So the childreh were summoned, and Robert
Browning read them his own poem,"The Pied
Piper of Hamelin," with great success. It must
have been a delightful scene—a crowd of
pretty, well-dressed, intelligent children, Es
telling to Bans Andersen and Browning recite
their men famous creations,and romping with
the sculptor Story—something for them to re
member in after-years. But I have wandered
far off from Siena. I am visiting at a villa
which is about a mile from Siena. The house
is pleasantly arranged, and placed delightfully
on a little hill, in the centre of pretty grounds;
a garden on one side and a charming woods
,on the other. The air is cool and dry. We can
walk in the grounds until bed-time without fear
of dews and night colds. From a large arched
window in the tipper hall—the floor on'which
the family rooms are situated—is a fine view
of Siena, its beautiful' towers and • the sur
rounding country; as lovely a sight as the
eye need wish to rest upon. The horizon has
agraceful outline 91' distant mountains traced
upon it; and part reminds me of our Alban
hills. Siena is placed on one of the lofty hills
which are in the south of Tuscany. Mrs.
Jamexon's description of its situation and the
surrounding country does not represent it as
it looks to me this fair September month. She
speaks of the district being barren and talks
strangely of "the dreary monotony of the
hilly waste which surrounds. Siena."
To, be sure, Mrs. Jameson visited Siena
nearly twenty years ago, and since then great
'changes have taken place in Southern Italy
regard to agriculture. The old, melancholy,
bare solitude of the Roman Campagna is fast
di'•nppearbag,-and_epetn i ly_the_ca a •
u rroun ds Siena - is • anything but a barren
waste. The landscape, as I look down upon it
now, from this liuge hall-balcony window—
through which a coach and four might drive—
is - what the Swiss Vaudois call riunte, laughing
and, full of verdurous, picturesque beauty.
The massive walls of the. city ..and one of its
large arched gates stand in full front of my
sight, and the beautiful towers for which the
city is famous lie against this rich sunny
sky of mid-day, and look like the Campaniles
of some celestial city, some ,new Jerusalem.
Those of. the Cathedral, .San ,Domenico, and
the one in the Piazza del Campo—the Tower
del Mangio—are the most strildng. This last
tower is very high, and s 9 beautiful in its
form that one can well believe bow Leonardo
da Vinci's admiration for it amounted almogt
to a love. It is as graceful as a pine tree or a
beautiful human form, and 'seems as if, like
Topsey, it bad not been made, but grotced.
EUROPEAN AFFAIRS

The Bishop of Orleans to Father Hya
cinthe—His Invitation to Bettina.
By snail from Europe we have the following
text of a letter addressed by Monseigneur
Dupanloup to Father Hyacinthe :
OHLENIS#; Sept. 26.1869.-1/y Dear Colleague :
As soon as I was informed from Paris of the
step -which you were about to take I en
deavored, as you know, to spare you at any
cost what would prove a great fault and mis
fortune for yourself as well as a profound
affliction for the Church. I sent off on the
instant; and in the night, an old fellow
student and friend of yours to prevent you, if
that were possible. But it was too late; the
scandal bad been consummated, and from this
moment you can measure by the grief of all
the friends of the Church and the joy of her
enemies the extent of the mischief which you
have wrought. At present I can do no more
than pray to God Turd conjure you pause ou
the declivity on which yolk now stand; leading
, •as it does to abysses which your soul, in its
trouble, has not discerned. You have suffered,
I know ; but allow me to tell you. Father La
cordaire and Father de IZaVignan had
to bear more than • you, and
they raised themselves to a higher
rank in patience and fortitude, through their
love of the Church and Jesus Christ. How is
it-that you did not feel iwhat an injury you
were domgto the Church, your mother, by
these accusing predictions ? And what an in
sult to our Saviour toplace yourself, as you are
now'doing, alone, faee to face in opposition
to Him, and in contempt of His successors'!
Bitt lam willing to hope and believe that
thiS aberration will be\ only a transient
one. Return among us; after only
caused
this affliction to the Catholic world, g ive it a
great consolation and a striking example. Go
and throw yourself at the feet of the Holy
-Father. His-arms-will-be-open to receive
you, and in clasping you to his paternal heart
he will restore to you the peace of your con
science and the honor of your life. Receive
from him who was your bishop, and who will
never cease to love your soul, this testimonial
and these counsels of sincere and religious af
fection. FEnix, Bishop of Orleans.
Father Ityaeinthe's Reply.;

The English. and French papers are still
oectired with stories regarding the murders
near Paris. The correspondence of the Star•
says that on September lath the prisoner was
conveyed in a closed carriage from Mazas to
the Morgue. He was unaware •of the object
of the drive, and imagined that he was pro
ceeding to' the Conciergerie in order to un
dergo a cross-examination. He want therefore
Perfectly .unprepared for the spectacle pre
sented to him of Gustav 'Wick's freshly dug
up corpse. As on the previous occasion, he
feigned tears; but he was really startled. M.

i
"You murdered him?""No; t" must have
'been his father.. The wretch—only fancy his

Made a touching appeal to him; addressing
him as a man on the verge of eternity, and
imploring of him not to persist in denying to
himself the consolation it would' be to
him, during his last hours to reflect
that he had at, least confessed, and
repented of his great sins, and thus might
crave forgiveness trom his Creator. The lew •
Words the Magistrate - said were to the pun.-
- pose,. and uttered with unfeigned emotion.
The:excellent man's efforts were, however,
Sniithss. Though Traiipmann replies to every
question,
his answers are in .strict ilenformity
with the fine of defence he has adopted' from
the first—namely, that he was merely a
subordinate employed by Kinck pare--in
fact; a mere looker-on. He signed the prods
rerbot with a firm hand. The question
arises, does his signature correspond with
the handwriting of the letters supposed to
be received from Mine. Kinck from her hus
band, indited i as you are aware, in a strange
band, in consequence, as stated therein, of his
having sprained his wrist? If Kinck pere
sprained his wrist so Severely that he could
not hold his pen,hew comes it that he suddenly
acquired the strength that Traupmann im
putes to him, required to deal the murderous
blows which caused the gaping wounds to be
seen on the corpses of the seven individuals?
The Figcrro adds that Traupmann is at Mazas,
in the large cell on the ground floor, which
serves as an infirmary. This room
has three beds, and the mur
derer has for his companions two
Other prisoners, who do, not quit him for an
instant. During the night they keep watch in
turns ; moreover, the door of the cell is al
ways half open,. and the keepers are ever at
hand. The criminal wears no straight-waist
coat, or fetters of tiny kind; in fact, he is in
such a state of depression and weakness that
the precaution would be useless. _He does not
exchange a word with his keepers, but groans
and sobs without ceasing. At 3fazas,
Traupmann was visited four times by
a priest, but scarcely . replied to
the ecclesiastic. He hardly speaks ,
even to two prisoners of good conduct ap
pointed to watch him. We are informed that,
upon being questioned by M. Claude, he
answered : "Yes, I had two accomplices.
* Nit why should I tell you their
biomes :'
One head is quite enough, and I
shall not cause three to fall." We insert the
phrase under all reserve, as we have reason to
believe it apocryphal. On Sunday morning
he refused to take the slightest food,
wishing to let, himself die of hunger.
"Since • death' - must come," he said,
."better let it be at once." At this moment his
two guardian's 'interfered. "Why despair ?"
they said,"we have all pasSed through the same
ordeal. As long as von are not condemned,
you should always hope to save your life."
He shook his head with a decided negative.
"Even after :you are sentenced," continued
one of them
' "you will still have an appeal to
the Court of Cassation and a petition for
pardon. These proceedings will giVe you
time, and if you are deternuned to die'of hunger
you can do so then. Traupiumin at length
decided upon taking his food. All the 'day
he read the Mogosiri •Pitteresque, of which
be successively asked for several num
bers. In . the evening he dined •with
a good appetite and slept soundly. 'An idea
thrown out by the French Press, to the inde
fatigable 'activity of whose special corres
pondents many unportant revelations are due,
strikes one as rational. Ritickpere was pro
bably murdered the day or night previous to
the writing of the first letter in a strange

tions made in Paris - I . am about to abdicate the
crown of Portugal in favor•of my. 801 l under
the regency•of my august father, and to tea..
copt that of• Spain ; seeing beside that this ill.
founded report is assinniug a certain consist
.
peal for ,a renovation of , doctrines and a
broader church system. It is, to speak more
.accurately, the statement of modern Galilean-
WTI, which accepts the sovereigutybut not the
absolutism of the Pope—the -primacy of the
See of Borne, but not thelbrfeiture,of the
episcopacy. , There is courage in this (says a
. F
-rench paper); there is, however, nothing
new. But the wise Bishop would alalo recon
cile civil and religious society, and adjuits the
Council to sanction modemscience,and loudly
proclaim the immense services it has rendered
to universal philosophy, without which reli
gion itself would have no more action or foun
dation.
Fear of an - Imperial coup d'Etat.
Just previous to the sailing of the City . of
Washington from Europe, M. de Jouvencel,
Deptity — for - the - Seine-etT - Eranee;ad=
dressed a letter to Count de Keratry in which
he refuses tojoin, not only in a manifestation,
but even in a simple protest, in the event of
the non-convocation of the Chamber on the
25th of. October. He fears to furnish the goy
eminent with a pretext for a new, coup d'etut,
And appears to think that the 'proposed step
would.
_produce no serious results yaw sup
ported by an insurrectionary movement, which
he does• not believe possible, and which he
would not inconsiderately provoke.
t,
On the tenor of the letter the Paris Slide r -
marks : "These apprehensions on the part f
M. de Jeuvencel appear to us to i
be at' lea
very much exaggerated. No one, we believe,
has any idea of transferring to tne streets the
constitutional debate going on between the
Ministry and a portion of the Chamber. The
wiestion is not as to whether on the 26th of
October the Deputies will appeal to force to
terminate the prorogation, but rather .as to
whether they should allow to be committed,
without raising their voices, what they con
sider a flagrant violation of Parliamentary
rights. Silence gives consent." •

Madri MADRID, Oct. 10, 1869.—Very deAperate
fighting between the republican forces and the
troops of the government, which commenced
at Valencia last Friday, the Bth instant, con
tinues. Reinforcements have been despatched
to the government detachments. The troops
beat the insurgents in every encounter be-'
tween the contending parties in Andalusia
and Aragon.
A republican deputy to the Cortes, Castero,
having been threatened with assassination by
the partisans of the government, has fled the
country, and taken refuge in Portugal.
Further rioting is looked for and dreaded - in
Madrid, but the reports say there is every pro-,
bability , of its being quelled promptly should
it occur.
AItIMSEMENTS:
"HOBIE" AT THE' CHESTNUT
Quite a large audience 'assembled at the,
Chestnut last evening to witness the first pro
duction of. Robertson's comedy, Home. - We
expected much from this play, because the'
author gave us,in Caste and Ours, assurance of
the possession of very considerable ability as
•a dramatic composer. His forte •is domestic
comedy; his method is to arrange simple ma
terials into vivid forms. He draws a powerful
`character, as an artist can make a strong face,
with i a few bold strokes of his pen. His man
ner is so 'mneh subdued that.we wonder at the
intensity of the cliniaxes, which are reached
without the apectatorteeling conscious of ef
fort. There are few more dramatic situations
,in modern comedy than that which is pro ;
duced by the Simple entrance of "Eccles" at,
the conclusion of the second act of Caste.
Mr. Robertson avoids • sensationalism and
gaudy effect so completely, that his simplicity
would_approackrealisin teo_closely_in the op-,
posite direction, and seemtame,_if the author
did not'possess the power Of grouping his fig
ures in striking positions, and besides this
know how to make a • quiet, social dialogue
Sparkle with wit and humor of the purest kind.,
Of such plays as Caste we cannot have too
many in this age A , cursed with the Formosan
drama and the blood audthunder of Daly. But
Mr. Robertson's genius is not always at the su
preme height of inspiration. He cannot make
every drama equal to his best. He may at
times carry his theories of simplicity a little
too far, ind so make his composition some
thing less than intensely interesting... Home
is hardly up .0 the, highest-standard of the
author. The motive is original ; the plot is
clever, and it is developed to its full capacity;
the' dialognii also is good; and in seine, minions'
very entertaining;' and yet' there is a want of
action' in . the play, which, combined with the
Poverty of incident, place.s.it-in a lower rank
even than &hoot. The first act is in the, style
of a prologue, and is so tiresome that even Mr.
Mordaunt's painfully deliberate movements
and enunciation did not injure it materially.
The second act contains a more rapid move
ment. It is lively, entertaining, and it
reaches a tremendous climax—a Climax ,
which displays the ! real power of
the author, and is equal to his best
efforts in this direction. The last act contains
a line situation or two, but it concludes in a
very weak manner, and the spectator is disap
pointed and unenthusiastic as the curtain de
scends. The villain and the villainess saunter
out calmly, leaving two pairs of lovers to re
ceive a parental blessing in the most uninter
esting manner. At theleaSt, - Mr. - Roberesoli
should have had the ruffian horsewhipped and'
should haVe discovered that the repentant
widow was not his sister, but a long lost rela
tive of the happy family. Her repentance de
served a reward, and it is a source of dis
satisfaction that she does not receive one.
The drama 'is played .in the handsomest
manner. • Miss. Howard's personation of the
widow Was a triumph over the demands of a
very difficult part. Mrs. Creese and Miss.
Laurens played their minor parts with a great
deal of clearness. Mr. Sheridan, as usual,
gaVe . a capital performance. His versatile
powers enable him to win success in anything
lie undertakes. Mi. Jack's "Denison" was
very satisfactory. Mr. Otis had a boyish cha
racter, and avery useless ° character..
in our opinion,' but he represented • it
with taste and skill. Mr. Mordaunt appeared
in the best role in the drama, and at tunes he
played very well; but his personation was
marred; as usual, by his persistent indulgence
in burlesque. The drama is placed upon the
stage very handsomely. Mr. Hassler 's music
deserves mention, becauSe of the good taste
displayed in the selections, and for the man
lier in which it was performed. Home will be
repeated this evening. . . •
Much the largest audience of the present
season at the Academy of 31usie attentied.the
production of Murtha last evening. The per
forivance was satisfactory, and, according to
the advertisement, the market scene was made
unusually . lively. Mme. — ParePa-Rosa, • as
"31artha, " sang very svell, but snted indiffer- -
ently, her want of dramatic feeling . bein,tY par
m -
ticularly evident in this weakly dividnal
ized part. Mrs. Seguin, as."Naney," sang and
acteu.charniingly. Mr. Castle's delicious voice
was heard to much advantage in the part of.
"Lionel." Mr. Campbell did full justice to •
the music assigned to "Phinket ;" but he is the
same in all parts, and presented no i.preper
view of the bluff; hearty Engliiihman. 'The -
minor characters were well sustained,.and the
chorus was efficient. Theorchestra,howover,
was not always kept in hand, but this s tuay ;
