(Correspondence of the Philadelphia Even'ng Bulletin .7 , Pants, Tuesday, Nov. 23, 1809: The Paris elections are over, or as good as over—the re sult being decisive in three out of the four circumscriptions, and less than doubtful in the fourth. It may be said at once that this result is encouraging for the cause „both of order and liberty, and that the Paris constituencies have, to a certain extent, disappointed both the demagogues amithe secret Wishes of the Government. They have, indeed, 'elected Rochefort, because they could not resist the temptation to give a direct soufflet to the man Of the coup d'itat and display their gratitude to the pen which lampooned him. But Roche fort won only by a feeble majority,while 13,000 • electors returned to their old love and old de 'necrotic principles, in the person of Carnet. In the other three circumscriptions the latter class of opinions was completely triumphant, Cremieux and Arago being both elected by overpowering majorities of 20,000 and 21,000, against minorities of 9,000, 7,000 or 5,000; the ultras being sent completelytothe right-about, and Glais-Bizom receiving a support which secures his election on a second ballot. This is the general result of the elections, and I trust that it will at once encourage the moderate liberal party, discourage thoSe who advocate recourse to violence, and disappoint 4he ma chinations of the Government,which,a.s is well known, in the absence of an emeute, would not , have been sorry to see the provinces alarmed by the return of red republicans and socialists for Paris. But it has been checkinated in its plans, and must now soon prepare to meet a united liberal party in the Chamber. The Emperor, with the Prince Imperial, came to Paris from Compiegne on Sunday morning, to stay here over the elections, or, what seems more probable, to await the return of the Empress, who is expected back about the end of the month, when there is to be a grind renewal, it is said, of festivities and re ceptions, and private theatrieals, and shooting parties, and what not, in honor of Her Majes ty's achievements in the East. Meanwhile, and whilst wearing the green willow," His . Majesty does not appear to have been troubled with the blue devils, either politically or morally; at home. He has been dancing Sir Roger de Coverley with the young ladies of the i.ourt, and keeping up the game to the hears, with the aid of sandwiches and ~ .i.- a .suPat7.:e. The other evening, at Coin the Emperor being mirthfully in (hriud, .-tisidenly proposed an impromptu !4.1.7te , and no complete orchestra being at or, indeed, required, the whole party to 'work, not exactly to the "lascivious -warbling of a lute," but to the music of a and piano, quite, as they say, en petit 7!; r HIS Majesty called for a zprightly dance known as the Carillon' de If? , 7 , ;,aque, evidently derived from the . old-fashi o tied English dance • above f•spoken of, and at it the whole party went, young and old, dowagers and spinsters, Ministers,Senators and aids 7 de-camp—the Em peror leading, first with the Princess Matilde, and afterward, when that lady was tired out, having grown rather lusty of late, with other firwtdes dames de la Cour, until the very mu sicians Nveie fain to stop and cry "hold, enough!" The hour being late and nothing of the kind anticipated, it is said that provisions were s ea rce, an d that the aforesaid "sandwiches and champagne" replaced the splendors of the usual Imperial ball-supper. The following day, as though to prove he was none the worse for his "lark," Napoleon was out in his splen did pheasant preserves, and brought down nearly two hundred head of game to his own gun, the entire party ruassacreing no less than eight hundred and fifty pheasants, hares, etc. What becomes .of legislation and projets de lei, and senates-consultus, and Imperial prom ises of "reform" in the midst of all this gayety, I do not pretend to say. What Napoleon seems determined to show at this moment is that. "le tali s'amuse." I only hope that nothing "unpleasant" may suddenly occunto put an end abruptly to this new character of the "merry monarch" which our Emperor is bent on assuming. It is curious to read of these doings amidSt the language which had been held in Pads <luring the last few days. Felix Pyat— I beg pardon, I ought to have said "Citizen" at—made an awful speceb,the other day to an immense assembly of workmen in the Faubourg St. Antoine. "Workingmen," he exclaimed, "don't believe in any other repro- Sentatives butyourselvea; neither in those who take the oath, nor in those who refule to take it. To regain your rights, you must trust to• l ouri e il :os .._ you must take them. You represent numbers, and, therefore.,•strength. Libtrty is not given ;it is taken. If a man deceives um once, it is biti fault; if twice, it is my oWn. There are two sovereign ties -before. you • to cheese from: that of all, or that, of one—Monarchy or Republic." Thunders of applause followed' these words ; and then the orator—for Pvat is an orator, and a.,la lige rolls to(?---went on again tines : "A overt:ign does what he likes; he I f ANoiri444 Al :1:.../ , Pianos.

There may be much of raving in all this, but there is much also that is dangerous ; for it is always dangerous to play with edged-tools, and Napoleon is playing off these edged-tools against the moderate party, whom he thinks far more dangerous still, and who, in fact, are so, to his own power. But he may go too far, and by sowing the wind, reap the whirlwind. There are some hun dreds of thousands of workingmen in Paris, who have been now listening for weeks to these "ravings." Work is growing scarce, for the municipality can carry on no longer as it 'did, and the Government exchequer is equally au sec. Provisions and lodgings are fearfully high. It was a very similar state of things which brought on the outburst of 1848, when some 300,000 workmen had boon brought to Paris to build the fortifications, and the fortifications 'were built, and the men out of work, Louis Napoleon is dancing at Com piegne; but he may blow up at Paris when heieast expects it. INDIANA DIVORCES. /lOW Sidti are Gotten up and Succeed. [From the New Alban v ( Ind.) Oommerciel] Various and infernally mean are the sub terfuges often resorted to by parties desiring to be rid of matrimonial fetters. We have heard of a case illustrative of this statement that occurred not many yearsage in this county. A widow woman held property whichshe might transfer while she remained single, but which, according to her husband's will, she could not dispose of she married again while in a state of coverture. Well; she did marry a second . time; and in the course of time she desired to transfer the property left • her by • her first husband. This, of course, she could not do, the provi sion of. her first Misband's will `inhibiting her. Here was a quandary. A lawyer of this city was consulted. He "set things up" for the wife, and her husband. She went home; told her husband what advice the lawyer had given her, and he thought it "just the very thing." And what, reader, do you suppose that ad • vice was? Simply this: The husband and wife were to quarrel and fight every day, and this was to be done in the presence of the children of the wife, who were well grown, and they were to be made to believe the quarrelling and fighting were genuine instead of feigned. The programme was carried out to the letter, and then the husband applied for a divorce. He set forth "incompatibility" in his complaint ) the wife admitted it, and the children swore tb it. Judge Bickness granted the divorce. The same day she transferred the property as she had desired to do, and the next day the divorced couple were remarried. Such is one of . the phases of the divorce practice. DIAMOND ROBBERY IN ST. LOUIS. $4,000 Worth of Diamond Rings Stolen from a Traveling Agent. • • The St. Louis Democrat says: On Tuesday last a traveling agent of a New York jewelry • establishment, named D. N. Dawley, arrived in this city and put up at the Southern Hotel. He had with him a trunk containing $3OOOO worth of jewelry of various kinds, which lie was desirous of disposing of to some of our dealers. He was, however, in no hurry, and for two days left the 'trunk in the office of the clerk at the hotel. Yesterday morning he had his trunk conveyed to his room, and taking out some specimens of his goods, left the room about nine o'clock.. When he started'out the chambermaid was in the room, andDawley did not lock the door, bUt left that to be done by the girl. About eleVen o'clock he returned, and discovered that during his absence 80MOdaring thief had unlocked the door, of his room with a skeleton key, and had brOkeit open his trunk and scattered the jewelry over the floor. A steel instrument, about a foot long, shaped something like a crowbar, was lying on the floor. With this the thief had, forced open the trunk. The robber was evidently.a pro fessional, well versed in the value of precious stones, for he left behind all the cheap jewelry and contented himself with taking 47 rings and three brooches, all with diamond settings, except two or three rings which were set with pearls. The value of the jewelry stolen is about $4,000. The robber left no clue to awaken a saspi cion as to who he was. It is supposed that the thief followed Mr. Dawley from New York, where he had learned the value of the goods in his charge: A description of the stolen diamonds wag left with the Chief of Police. The detectives have a very difficult case to "work up," and if they succeed in catching the thief they will do well. AUSTRALIA. A Strange Sight In the Bush. It would be difficult to imagine a greater contrast than there is between the winter and the summer months in South Australia. Pic ture to yourself the most beautiful May day at home—and you have the former ; picture to yourself clouds of dust, a glaring suu, the theimonieter at one hundred and fifteen in the shade—and you have the latter. The life the workingman leads in the Bush • is quite as peculiar as the climate. He comes, generally walking, carrying his bedding and all his other worldly possessions on his back, looking for a job. When he obtains one he stops ; when it is done, he gets a chock for his work, which he spends generally at the near est I . mblic-house. As soon as he is penniless (which is very soon), he starts again from sta tion to station, as before. Who can imagine anything much more miserable than a man without a friend or relative in the world (as thousands of these men are), thus Vi'iludering about, destitute of ambition, destitute of spirit, destitute of everything that naan should be possessed of? TheSe wretched fel lows have but one desire, one hope, one aim in flits world, and that is o "make a check," so as to be able to go and have a beastly ca rouse, in which they appear more like fiends than men. They will take• forty or fifty pounds to a Bush public house,, and in less than a week will leave it absolutely penniless, andSvrill become dependent upon the scattered stations for food. Of course you meet with good and respectable men among these wan derers, but, as a whole, the working hands of the Bush are infamoa and degraded. I saw a startling sight once in the Bush. I was riding through a thick sciub, where there was no road or track of any kind, when sud denly I came upon a man, the like of whom I had never seen before; and hope never to see again. This happened in the middle of sum mer,-and there, was no water within' twenty, tbiles. The man was about forty years of age, of middle ,height, with a long ragged beard and • whiskers. As I came upon him, be was walVing barefoot, with his eyes, which protruded from his head, staring fixedly before bun, as it he saw- something which irresistibly attracted him; He had not even a bialy" to carry water in, neither had lieu bug or "Inindle of any kind; but in his hand he carried a lump of uncooked fat. His shirt and trousers hung in shreds about him, and his bead was bare. There was 'something most terrible in that stare of .his, so ghastly and hopeless w 41.4 it ill its , intensity. lie seein!ll totally unconscious (Amy presence, ES= and; e'ten afterl called out to him, paid no attention Whatever to me:, For `some seootubi after be. ;had gone by; L sat it ,tay saddle, hardly knowing what to do. 'At last I de , termined to follow him,' and bantering np, brought Iny whip down Sharply, on his shoulder. jole turned and confronted: me, but for some time seemed not pr,,,the least to sus pect qtakivia a,rpalitY, I asked him who ho eras ; And where he was going? But to all my questions, I• could only get 'an indistinct, rnutforlng for an answer, while• his arms workig incessantly., backward and forward in . ',the air, and his body shook from head to foot. -11t.tlength he made a sort Lof mute appeal for , ,Water, which, I . gavehim ; then he started aWafns before, walking, ata treinedous , pace, with his eyes always fixed oone spot in ; advance, of' him. I learned afterwards that lie wan dered about for some months in the most im penetrable , parts - of the - Bush, destitute of ever . ything, and that his sole food was un cooked fat, whickhe picked up ,outside shep herds' huts. He WaS Wilt() insane, and, after wandering about in this way for ationg time, perished in • the Bush. It is not wonderful that he died there; but it is very wonderful that' he lived there so long, under 6uch fear ful circumstances:—All the Yeen; Round. —Gail Hamilton hati been engaged, by the Harpers to write for the Weekly and the Bazar.

There are fipin twenty to thirty plates of amusement, large, aid sunili--tt(ett tree for bufloons,Jugglers,naristers of legends and the utters of farces and , historic. Masque rades, besides one or two Olympic eircusee. On the sides of the square, at the entrances to the public gardens,and along the promenades, planted with trees, there are niniffiers tiff little • restaurants and light booths, and sheds,..de- istied chic "ter, , such as those that characterize 'German beer gardens or English coneert-saIoOES: The fertile pf which these are built are everywhere • the mine-all light and very destructible. But; if the buildings are uniform and simple in' a elieir,construction, not , ito the slevices ea. • ettre patronage. Front fagadet6 fagadejtheve is an incredible luxury of posters, finrea,and banners, of,, the most t Orki t tliaPlayed. The criers, ini, add to - theisa allure:Mental the, charms 'or florid and indefatigable eloquence,with an assorted accompaniment of big drums, tambourines, fifes and trumpets. The principal spectacles announce themselves, to a distance, bYmeans of high, square towers, which are, in reality, nothing more than VambOo cages covere d with Oiled paper. • - The 'Japanese; theatre is largely modeled upon the Chinese, both dramatiets and actors being bore or less controlled by the Conven tional methods of their masters of the Celes tial Empire. But, if Japanese actors are in ferior as artists, and the Japane.se dratna is not equal in literary merit to that of the Chinese, the performances in, the theatres of the for mer are superior in a poetic point of view, be ing characterized by greater simplicity, more 'passion, and greater fidelity to Nature. In (Mina, the audience witness the representa tion, and judge the performers,while in .Japan the audience take part in the representation; and become, in some measure, the rivals of the performers. The dramatic authors of . Yeddo write chiefly for the theatres of their own city from these their pieces soon find their way to the other cities of - the 'empire: The troopes of comedians of Asaksasspend their vacations, in traveling in theprovinces, li ke the troupes of athletes of Bondi°. They are composed of men exclusively. Women are only employed on the Japanese stage as dancers in the grand opera. The great theatre of Japan is the , which presents one of the most interesting curiosities in the world. It is the theatre, par excellence, of the middle classes of Japan, but it attracts also many of the coolies and of the lower orders. All who, in the social scale,ate above the middle claso4es, either al Lain ea tively from going to the theatre,or have boxes, provided with• a grating, to separate them from the rest of 'the auditorium. ' Among the crowds that assemble in the neighborhoods of the theatre at the hour of the parade, it, is rare that, a man is seen with two sabres—the mark of noble rank. It is not that a tiainaurai may not be seen here and there among the common people, but he is careful to guard the strictest Incognito, A noble man (tlaiboun), disguised and without arms, can go almost anywhere Without compromi zing his dignity. although he may be receg- Me ed. The grand parade always takes place just before sundown. On a sort of platform, at the right and left of the theatre-door, a dele gation of the company appear, in ordinary citizens costurne,and harangue the multitude, announcing the subjects of the pieces for the •evening, and enlarging on the superior tnerlte of the principal artists to whore theirinterpre tation is intrusted. To this exordium, de livered with becoming emplia.sls, succeeds a series of hackneyed witticisms, more or less mimicry, and an exhibition of the grand art of dianipulatiug; the inevitable - Len. - 'The lan ' terns are now lighted, and a crier sings out, at the top of his shrill voice, "Walk in, gen. tlemen Walk in,. ladies! Secure your places ; now is the moment; as we are about to begin !" Nn one, however, is in any haste- to profit by this nre'sing invitation,the spectacle in the street operating as a powerful counter-attrac tion. ".1. We or three rows of email lanterns, • suspended in front of tlue building, do their share toward enlivening 'the scene, while, near the doom, there are enormous oblong lanterme, sa placedas to throw their light ou ferge'wooden posters, contaitring inscriptions and rude paintings, representing the pnneipal scenes of the pieces. SOILIe of, these wooden poeters are an high as the building itself. 'Ba t h theatre has its arms and colors, which jre Lunde to ornament its signs, harmers, and lan. terns. and, in gigantic proportions, three sides of a sort of belvedere, or r“juare tower, on tho top of the edifice.. AU the buildings adjoining those of the Saliala are ^ occupied by- restau rants, and rival the theatre in external deco ration. not in the extent of ornament, but la its arnsticrnerit. Tide decoration consists usually of such paintingis'aed sculpture as tho name of the e-tablishnient suggests. There Le a restaurant el the ;Foussi-Varna, another of the -Eliding Sun, of the Merchant Junk, of the Crane, of the Two Lovers, etc. ,But it Li time to enter the theatre. We as cend the wooden stairs that lead to the second gallery, ,An usher (Tens a spacious box for us, and hie servant brings, on a salver, saki, tea, cakes, candies; pipes, tobacco, and a bre sero. The auditoriums of the Japanese thee tres are usually oblong in form,with two tiers, the places in the upper being considered the more desirable. In this tier, there are always, to be found a great many lathes in grande tui, kite, that is, immersed up to their ears in their crape robes and silk mantles. The lower gal lery is only octupied by men. There are no foot-lights, nor is there any orchestra. The parterre, seen from a distance, resembles a chess-board, being divided into compartments of eight places each. The greater part of them are rented by the year to well-to-do families, who occupy them with their children and their visitors, when they have any, from the prov inces. Aisles are unknown in Japanese thea tres. 'The places in the parterre are reached by walking overthe tops of the partitions be tween the compartments, _which are on a level with the shoulders of the auditors, who sit either on the floor , or on little boxes. Nor are there any step.s to aid the descent into these pens when they aro reached; the men lump into them first, and then assist the women and children to follow. These ma nteuvres form the, mast picturesque part of the preliminaries of the evening's entertain ment. Tobacco and refreshments are passed around by servants during the entire represen tation. . _ On both sides of .the parterre extend two narrow platforms, as far as the front of the auditorium. They are only ap ' rolongation of the stage, and are used as such especially by the dancers. The ball is lighted by 'means of paper lanterns suspended trom the galleries. There is no chandelier hung from the ceiling, which is flat; the cupola is unknown in Jap.. anese architecture. The drop-curtain is ornamented •with a gigantic inscription in Chinese characters,and surmounted by a target pierced by an arrow. This is a symbolic manner of assuring the ePectators that the great talent of the perform ers is certain to excite their highest admira tion. In' the;meantime, the.crovid manifests a cer - taindegree of impatience ; the monotony of the scene, however, is broken by an alteraV• tion, enlivened with some blows, among a party of Coolies, who occupy one of the com partments directly before the curtain. The ac tors interfere4u order to .restore order, some thrusting their heachrthrough' holes that long use has made in the Chinese characters, while others crawl wader the ; curtain. Order isSOOO. re-established.',` The coolies themselves mount upon the stage at the invitation of the comedi aus, who seem. to ,assigii.. theta. positions; or 'give them dtalik petform, and, indeed, it la.. with the aid of their sturdy arms that the heavy curtain is raised slowly to: the ceiling, while the-musicians of the troupe, stationed behind the wings, make a racket with their tambour ines, gongs, flutes and castanets, sufficient to silence the demons of pandemonium. The representation usually lasta till one o'clock in the Morning. It consists of a corn-. edy, a tragedy, a fairy opera, with a ballet and two or three interludes,.such as the perform ances of gymnasts, jugglers, etc. The actors to whomthe management wisheS to call particular attention are escorted by two coskeis, each . tarrying a little chandelier with the candles burning,flxed to the end of a biffon. The spectators have only to follow the Move ! . xi:tents of the chandeliers IS . know', what they are expected to adniire: now the facial ex. pression of the cornedianosow his picturesque attitude, his gestures, and sometimes also the details of his costume and coiffure. The dancers are shown offin like manner. Often, during the ballet, the borikeis,squatted down on the long platforms, or stage exten. sione, profit by the proximity of the gauge tont to hti*Ethein extinguish , the candle: of their little'obandeliertirWhich any of them are ready enough to do with theirllngers.
