[Correspondence of the Philadelphia Eveningßulletin.]
Pakis, Friday, Nov. sth, 1869.—The interval
of quiet which seemed to be promised to ns
until the Chambers meet, on the 29th inst., is
about to be broken in upon by the preliminary
proceedings of the Paris elections. Already
candidates are coming forward by the score,
and the journals are filled with electioneering
addresses. Seventy-two candidates have
“qualified” at the Hotel de Ville; that is,
have taken the necessary oath of fidelity to
“ the Emperor and the Constitution.” A large
proportion of these pretenders belong to the
most advanced party of the Parisian demo
cracy, which seems to make no difficulty about
“swallowing the oath,” when by so doing a
prospect is opened to it of a seat in the Legis
lature, with the influence and the emoluments
thereto belonging. As there are, however,
only four vacant seats for Paris—those namely
for which Messrs. Bancel, Picard; Jules Simon
and Gambetta were elected in May last—the'
chances of the majority of the candidates in
question are, of course, very small. Indeed,
their coming forward at all is, on the part of
the greater number of them, merely a sign of
the political effervescence of the moment, and
a desire to profit by the now liberties of speech
and action which have been accorded. What
may be called the serious pretenders to the
representation ■of the vacant metropolitan
constituencies, are 'comparatively few in num
ber. Emmanuel Arago is in the field for the
eighth electoral division of the city, and has
published his political programme. It may
be said to be at once vague and sweeping. He
demands the restoration of “all the liber
ties” tbit “they” {qu’on)' have “robbed
us of.” You will perceive that there is no
more mincing of matters .as to forms of
speech; and that “they” and the aforesaid
Monsieur “on” are now told very plainly of
the larcenies “they” committed against the
nation eighteen years ago. M. Arago, indeed,
assures his proposed constituents that, as re
gards himself, he is what he was on
the 24th of February, 1848”—“what be was on
the 2d of December, 1851.” And I fear that he
is quite correct in so describing himself, and
that it may be said of him and his
party, with just as much truth as of
Louis XVIII. and the Legitimists of 1815,that
Us Wont rien appril, ni rien eublie —that they
have learnt nothing, and forgotten nothing.
Certainly, if their sole object be to play over
again the burlesque of a Kepublic which they
enacted in 1848, although they may possibly
carry one or two of the Paris constituencies
on such a platform, the country at large will
reject and repudiate them by a vast majority.
For, to their credit be it spoken, I think the
French people are awakening to a conscious
ness that they are not yet fit to be a Republic;
that the mass of the population has neither
sufficient political intelligence nor general in
struction and enlightenment for such an ad
vanced form of self-government; and that if
they were to attempt again to renew the ex
periment now, as they did in 1848, they would
only end by making a mess of it a second, or
rather a third time, by falling-first into an
archy, and then into despotism. A part of the
platform of M. Arago, however, is such as
will be generally accepted by the country
—complete municipal emancipation; an
entire change in the systein of standing armies;
gratuitous national education,which he would
also render obligatory as in Prussia ; and
(what is now becoming a widely-spread opin
ion in France) complete separation of Church
and State. All this will undoubtedly be ac
cepted, and is the direction in which the cur
rent of public opinion is setting with unmis
takable force and unanimity. M. Arago Bigns
himself only “ex-representative.ofthe people”
—a designation which I notice in contra-dis
tinction to another candidature I am about to
mention.
- M. Henri Rochefort, of the - Lanteme, comes
forward for the first electoral division, vacated
by M. Gambetta, and accepts the platform of
the “radical” committee of that district. It
need scarcely he said that the latter go the
whole hog and no mistake. According to
them, the principle of universal suffrage aud
election is to be applied to all cases, deputies
and functionaries of every class. The system
of Octrois is to be abolished, and the entire
taxation of the country to he remodeled. The
Budget of Public "Worship is to be
suppressed. Not only elementary instruc
tion is to be gratuitous, as well as
obligatory, but all, even the highest
range of education, is to be gratuitous also.
Standing armies are to be abolished. I men
tion only a few of the points in which the
platform of the extreme ultras goes beyond
that even of men like M. Arago, while it in
cludes, of course, at the same time, “ all the
liberties” demanded by the latter. Without
respect to the merits per se of such a plan of
reform, I think the country feels, as I have
said, that it is not fit tor it; that such an ap
plication of universal suffrage, for instance,
as that above proposed, is beyond its strength
or intelligence; and that a violent or immediate
suppression of the Octroi system (however ob
jectionable in some points of view), yet, hav
ing existed; so long and become part and
parcel of the financial policy of the country,
could not be suddenly swept away without in
volving every municipality of France in se
rious embarrassment. Nevertheless, M. Roche
fort accepts this platform, and promises even
to “better his instructions;” and ends by
signing himself: “Revolutionary and socialist
candidate.” You will observe the nuance, thfe
sjbade of difference between him and Arago;
and I hav,e quoted these two addresses as fair
specimens of the two classes of ultras who are
now bidding for the suffrages of the Paris con
stituencies.
To cghplete the subject, I must next men
tiontHSfemarkablo address of M. Alton, one
of wsporemoat men of, the Freneh bkr, to
the fourth electoral division of this city. This
may be taken' as the platform of the “demo
cratic party,” properly so called, in Fiance. “I
am neither a socialist, nor a radical,” M. Al
ton begins by saying, “bnt a firm opponent of
personal government, and a steady ; friend of
liberal institutions!” What M. Alton under
standshy “democracy,” he tells ns in the fol
lowing Words, which I think' most American
readers will peruse'with satisfaction:
“Modern societies,” he says, “are irresistibly
drawifoh toward a complete democratic de
velopment. TM exmiple of'America is dazzling
the Old World, arid tee are'heiweforth walking in
the light which she dispenses to vs. The transfor
mation mast be effected wisely and discreetly;
dun WHOLE COUNTUY.
hut that it must be effected, it is no longer
permitted to us to doubt.” ,
Need 1 quote any more? I think not.
Every American will understand what M.
AllOn’s’ “democracy” means, and that it is
something very different from that either of
M. 'Rochefort, or erven of .M. Arago. And
upon her being able to seize and discriminate
this difference, the salvation, of France de
pends.
Preparations for the Grand Opening
Who Will Be There and What Will Be Done
Imperial, Kingly,Commerclaland Popular
Representatives.
Pabis. Nov. 3,lB69.—Having been fortunate
enough in passing through Paris on the way
for Marseilles ana the canal, to meet M. Oh.
deLesseps, brother to Ferdinand, and other
officers of the Canal Company, I Jim happily
enable d to publish a bnef. synopsis of the
ceremonies which will mark the opening and
inauguration of the Great Suez Ship Canal.
The Avant Port (outer basin) at Port Said has
been selected as the rendezvous for the vast
fleet which will assemble at the opening. The
ships, &c., will be all there by Tuesday, 16th
inst., and th e/ites will open on the night of
that day with a grand ball to the squadron.
Music and dauciDg will be kept up simultane
ously throughout the fleet. Tnis will consti
tute the first feature of the programme.
Early on the morning of the 17th the squa
dron will be formed in fine and steam down
the caDal from Port Said, through-Lake Men
zalah to Kantara and thence to Isihatilla, pass
ing the small Arab towns of El-Ferdane and
EPGuisr on the way.
OBOEK OK PROCESSION.
The Empress Eugenie’s yacht, having the
Empress and the Viceroy of Egypt and their
respective suites on hoard, will take the lead
in the procession, and this order will be main
tained throughout the ceremonies.
The Italian frigate Cuirassier will follow the
French imperial yacht.
Next in line will come two Prussian and
one Austrian frigate.
After these will follow the entire French
naval squadron, numbering some ten or twelve
frigates and ships of the line.
Two Turkish steam frigates will bring up
the rear of the naval squadron.
Following these at, a respectable distance
will come the commercial steam fleet, repre
senting the trade of Europe with the East.
The following first-class companies will be
represented in the procession : /
The Peninsular and Oriental; the Royal
Mail; the Bombay and Bengal; the Messa
geries Imperiales ; Compaenie Fraisenet,
the Austrian Lloyd’s ; Italio Adriatico; Oam
pagnie Bnsse; Companie Bazin; Compagnie
Azizek; Total number of companies, ten;
The above list represents all the principal
companies carrying on trade between Europe
and the East. They will doubtless be the
model ships of the respective lines, and, deco
rated with flags and other national insignia,
will present a very striking appearance.
The voyage from Port Said to Ismailia is ex
pected to occupy the entire day, and the
second rendezvous will be made opposite the
latter town.
Ismailia is, next to Suez and Port Said, the
most important pointon thß canal. It is plea
santly situated near the head of Lake Timsah,
or Crocodile Lake. It is the ejißtern terminus
of the fresh or sweet water canal which flows
through the desert from the Damietta branch
of ths Nile, and this, combined with its com
manding central situation on the Canal Mari
time, must shortly secure to it a very con
siderable trade. The ceremonies here will be
on a scale commensurate with the growing
status of Ismailia itself.
The gTand fetes will commence at an early
hour on the morning of Thursday, the 18th,
with a dejeuner ala Timsah. This will be given
on hoard the French Imperial yacht. Whether
it is to he composed, as it name implies,
wholly or in part *f crocodile, is not known.
This will he followed by a similar gastrono
mical performance on beard all the vessels
composing the squadron.
A mammoth picnic party will then he
formed for the purpose of exploring the lake
and hunting the crocodiles with which it is
said to abound. Owing to the shallowness of
the water in many parts of the lake this ser
vice will be performed by the light draught
steamers only. The picnic party—laden, it
may be supposed, with glory and crocodiles—
will return to Ismailia, and with the remain
ing guests join in a grand dinner to be given
on the evening of the 18th. This will he fol
lowed by a bail, to be given in a building ex
pressly erected for the occasion and capable of
holding 2,000 persons. And the evening and
the morning were the second day!
THROUGH TO SUEZ.
On the morning of Friday, 19th, the squad
ron will leave Ismailia, passing through, the
canal in the prescribed order, and reach Suez
early in the evening of the same day.
At-Suez the ceremonies will bo on a more
imposing scale than at either Port Said or
Ismailia, the hotel and other accommodations
at the Viceroy’s command being much more
extended. It is expected that the fleet
will anchor in the Bay of Suez, and imme
diately off the canal jetties. Much will be
doubtless accomplished during the evening,
hut the grand feature of the uav will be the
pyrotechnics at night, and if the weather be
favorable they will doubtless he magnificent.
Sea and shore will be ablaze with fireworks;
the immense works of the Canal Company,
the establishments of the several steamship
companies, the Viceroy’s residence, the heau
(juarters of the several Consuls and the man
sions of many of the wealthy foreign and
native merchants will he brilliantly illumi
nated.
The fetes and ceremonies properly pertain
ing to the inauguration will terminate with
the morning of the 20th, when the Empress
of France, the Sultan, and her more immedi
ate host, the Khedive, will probably return.
Whether, their route will lay through the
canal to Port Said, or to Alexandria by rail
by the way .of Cairo, is not yet known, and
will not be till the ceremonies are over.
As regards other visitors, it is safer and
more profitable to speculate.
■ The proximity of the Pyramids, the Sphinx
and other natural curiosities of the Nile Delta
will doubtless attract a large proportion of the
party thither, as ample facilities have been
furnished by the princely Viceroy for their
transit and acccommodation. •
T must close my hasty letter to catch the
mail, and I cannot more appropriately put le
coup degrace than by famishing your readers
with a list of the crownedheads and other im
portant personages who are now either on
their way to Port Said or have signified their
intention to he present at the opening cere
monies.
The Canal Congress, so far as is known,
will embrace the following representatives:
Her Imperial Majesty Eugenie, Empress of
the French. ; ' •
The Emperor of Austria.
The Sultan of Turkey.
The Crown Prince of Prussia.
Prince Henry (brother to the King) of Noth,

retinue. \ ■ ■ . " • •
THE SUEZ CANAL.
THE NAVAL MUSTEK.
The United States government, as is well
known, will not be officially represented. ’ : ■
Invitations have been sent to all the leading
chambers of commerce throughout Europe and
America, and there will doubtless be a very
large gathering of commercial .magnates.
London, New York and Paris will he largely
represented; Liverpool, Manchester, Boston,
Berlin, Vienna, Antwerp, Glasgow, Ham
burg, St. Petersburg, Sheffield, Birmingham,
Venice, Brussels, Leeds, Lyons, Marseilles,
Bordeaux and Neweastle-on-Tyne will all be
represented by delegates.
Great will be the gathering at the Congress.
But greater far than all the triumphs of Lom

results which will flow from -the opening of
the Suez Ijanal, of which won ami more anon.
CONDITION OK THE CANAL.
All the reports reaching you, as breaka, &c.,
in the canal, are mere fabrications of a clique
of discontented soreheads in London; The
Peninsular and Oriental steamer, Flaume,
came through on the 31st, and reports twenty
feet of water throughout and the canal a de
cided success. Dredges are busily at work
throughout, and twenty-four feet clear will
doubtless be attained previous to the 16th.

The Kins; of Prussia on Religious
Thansgiving.
The King of Prussia, wlien at Badeu-Badon
lately, issued the following docree: '
The great movements which in our age are
makingthemselves felt in the religious life both
of nations and individuals, and are pressing
forward to a decision, and the tasks they im
pose on the Protestant Church of our country,
are apparent to all, and admonish us to entreat
the support of Almighty God. It is therefore
my trill that a day be\set apart by the Protes
tant Churches of my country for special
prayer that’God may pour out His blessing on
the present important deliberations as to the
constitution of our Church, and-to implore
him to protect the Protestant Church from all
dangers that threaten it, and to strengthen the
ties which unite its members to each other
and to the Church .U niversal. I have ap
pointed the 10th of'November, the birthday
of Dr. Martin Liither, for this purpose, and
hereby commission the Ministerand the high
est ecclesiastical authorities of Prussia to
make the necessary arrangements.

Victoria In JLondon—Assassination
Tbreatened.
Previous to the visit of Queen Victoria to
London a handbill, of which the following is
an exact copy, was posted iD sundry places of
London: ,
TO ALL FENIANS.
Vive la Repvblique!
The Queen will visit the city in state on
Saturday, and on that day she will he shot.
She seldom gives a chance, The opportunity
won’t he lost!
GOD SAVE IIIELAND !
But the Queen was not shot, and, in the
most peaceful manner, amidst the cheers of
thousands of her subjects, graced the opening
of the Holborn viaduct with her presence.
The Hospital Trouble.
The “Medical Student” question has been,
very thoroughly ventilated in our colnmns,
and its merits are now; pretty well understood
by the public generally. It has therefore been
our intention to drop the subject, unless some
new phases of it. should be developed. We
cannot, however, refuse admission to the fol
lowing communication from one of onr most
deservedly, esteemed physicians:
To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin: Per
mit.me, as one who, in professional life, has
had some experience hearing directly upon
the subject, to comment briefly on a part of
the remarks in the very candid and well-de
signed communication of “B.,”in the Evening
Bulletin of the 13th inst., upon Hospital
Clinics.
First, the writer, as a member of the profes
sion, must accord with“B." in his objection to
the managers of the Hospital springing this
innovation, without consultation, upon the
distinguished gentlemen constituting their
medical and surgical staff., They were en
titled to an expression of opinion and prefer
ence in the matter; and, even if afterwards
over-ruled, their voice upon it ought to have
been heard.
Further, there was a somewhat undesirable
abruptness in the manner in which the change
was made known, without sufficiently full ex
planation, to the male students. It is true,
however, as stated upon the best authority,
that about 260 of these purchased their tickets
after its announcement had been made, on the
morning of the much-talked-of excitement
concerning it. Familiarity, for years, with
many hundreds of the medical students of
Philadelphia, under the most direct relations,
convinces the writer that a flagrant, deliberate
violation of the manly duty of consideration
for the pure of the other sex is never other
than exceptional, and can meet only with con
demnation from the large majority of them. As
a rule, they are yentlemen.
But a false position in this matter has oc
curred to at least a portion of them, partly
through a very unfortunate misunderstanding
of the reality of the case. “B.’s” letter and
frequent remarks of medical men show that,
especially in this city, the true animus and
character of the 1 allies ,of the Woman’s Medi
cal College is altogether misunderstood. It is
not true that, in engaging in the study of a
noble profession, their feminine modesty is
sacrificed or m any way impaired. The fa
cility with which this quality is,impairedin the
performance of labors or pursuit of studies,pure
in themselves, is not greater in women than
in men. And we may challenge any pure
minded physician to show that medical studies
at all impair the modesty of men. Then, if
'not, neither do they that' of women. The
writer avers, from personal knowledge, that
no other eirclfe of fifty women anywhere is
likely to present a higher standard of refine
ment of womanly thought and feeling than is
that of the ladies in the faculty and present
class of the Woman’s Medical College.
They are the peers, to say no. more, of the
young gentlemen of" either of the Colleges, in
purity and elevation of character. The ex
perience of Blockley Hospital last -winter
hears witness to this; and if, in any single in
stance, a different impression has ever been
given by exceptional individual action, there
is ample evidenoe of its having been strongly
condemned and disallowed. A professional
man Who, in dealing with these lathes, would
presump upon a contrary view, so. as to forget
or put aside his own modesty, would be sure
to meet with their everlasting contempt and
disgust.
Serious disadvantage belongs to another
misapprehension. It is imagined that con
siderable loss must hesutt'eied by the male
students, from the withholding of important
• cases from the clinics,- unless the other- alter
native be taken, of presenting to a mixed class
such cases as involve what in its presence
would be unseemly exposure. As the ladies
have bad ho intention of visiting the clinics
more than once in the-week, this is not true.
Here again the writer must be allowed to refer
to observation and experience. For the
clinical teaching of what is needful in all ex
cept a few special diseases (easily reserved for
suitable times and classes) tostuaents of either
of both sexes, two things only are essential
in ofder to meet the requirements of delicacy
Without loss to science. One is-' the
avoidance of that over-fastidious (sometimes
pnment),false delicacy which was ridiculed by
Charles Diokens a good while ago. The other
is the disposition on the part ofthe lecturer to
maintain the dignity of Ids subject and the
aim of his vocation by the true scientific spirit
and bv gentlemanly self-respect as well.as re
spect Jor his class. None wno have made the
trial upon this basis have ever failed—none
such will over fail of experience the slightest

part oftbe prac/iceof medicine hy men £»aow'

the scarcely, sufficient plea of necessity—*:

AHHJBEMEKTB,
Wolfsohn’s Matinees.
The lirst of Mr. Carl Wol&obn’s matinees
will he given in the Foyer of the Academy of
Music Friday next, at four o’olock. This will
bo’ the Beethoven matinee, and the larger*
number of the pieces upon the programme will;
be selections from the works of that great
master. They include the trio in O minsirfor
piano, violin and violoncello; the sonata in B
flat major, tho romanza in F major for-violin,
and the sonata (Appassionato). Besides these
an adagio from Mozart for the violoncello will
be given, with the air d’eglise from Stradeila ,
by Signor Barili. In this and all the succeed
ing concerts Mr. Wolfsolm will he assisted -by
Messrs. Rudolph Hennig and Wenzel Koptt*
and Signor Ettore Barili—all first rate artists.
The remaining matinees will ho devoted to the
interpretation of unfamiliar but beautiful com
positions of the following masters: Schubert,
Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann and Itaff.
This idea of devoting a concert to a single com
poser is.novel and excellent, and we sincerely
hope Mr. Wolfsohn, in ' putting it into'
practice, will receive the hearty encourage
ment of all lovers of first-rate music. .We
cannot have any better musical entertainments
of this kind than those of Mr. Wolfsohu’s,
and aH he is doing all that he can to satisfy
the highest demands of art, it remains for
those persons who appreciate good music, and
desire to have plenty of it, to show that they'
are willing to support an enterprise of , this
character.
—At the Academy of Musiclastnight, ifortfia
was produced in good style'by Grau’s Gorman
Opera Company. Madame Frederici sang the
music ot “JSancy” with accustomed grace and,
spirit, and actjpd the part with even more than'
her usnal vivacity. Madame Hotter also gave
a very clever personation of “Martha,” and
sang sweetly. Mr. Himmer appeared for the
first time this season, and acquitted himself
satisfactorily. Bis voice may be of somewhat
poorer quality than it once was, but.-
the diftererice is hardly perceptible,;
and it did not detract in any marked
degree from the pleasure derived from
his performance. Mr. Formes and Mr. Stei
necke also played and sang in a very accepta
ble manner. There was a marked degree of
improvement in the orchestra, Which was due
in some measure we suppose to the greater
familiarity with an easier score than that of
Der Freyschutz, but there is still a very great
deal of room for further improvement. The
chorus, although not of larger size, did much
better than upon the previous evening. To
night Mozart's great opera Die Zaubet-flote will
be given. To-morrow evening Beethoven’s
Fiddio.
—Bast evening Prof. Jean Bonis assembled
the music teachers of the public schools and
two or three hundred of the children in - Co*-,
cert Hall, and in the presence of an immensa
audience, gave a concert which was extremelx
satisfactory, not only from its'inirinsic excel
lence, but because of the evidence it afforded
of the rapid advancement of the teachers and
children under the new method of musical in
struction. The programme embraced a large
number of popular selections for the piano
and voices, and they were given, not with
artistic precision and elegance, to be sure, hub
in a manner that reflected credit upon the per
formers and their instructors. It is not neces
sary to discuss the concert in detail, but we
may bestow special commendation upon the
children for the admirable manner in.wbich
they sang four of the songs from the little book
preparedfor the schools by-Professor Bouis—a
book by the way which has been made the
object of very unjust abuse. The children
gave these Songs with intelligence and a cer
tain spirit and force which proved, not only
that they comprehended the work in. which
they were engaged, but that they enjoyed it
thoroughly. Professor Bouis has good rea
son to be proud of his success so far, and we
suggest to him that a repetition of this con
cert might be indulged with advantage so that
the remaining unbellevers>may attend, and be
convinced of the practical excellence of his
method. "
