f Correesendence of the Philadelphia Evening Btaleihi.i
Rosin, Dec.lo, 1869.—I'have had , a little fur
ther information /Mont' the beautiful blonde,
Princess Colonna, whose distinguished ap
pearance attracted my admiration at the Aus
trian. Ambassador's reception:, 'She has been
4§tsilyingle'Perfa, and through the influence
of the Emperor received an order from Gov
ernment to make some of the ba.s-relie& for
the Paris Opera House. Of course the usual
stories are', told, that are, alwaYs circulated
about women sculptors—," She does not do her
own modelling," &c., &e.,
One of the wicked little anecdotes floating
about the studios is this :
The Princess Colonna engaged one of those
Ronan cla,y , and 'Marble workmen,' who Ike
48 plenty as hod-errieits and'' chal-heaVeils
with us, and extremely clever in all the me
chanical manipulation of sculpture. He set
up some work according to the orders given
him. Tim Princess criticized ft, and suggeeted
some alterations. The man replied, with all
the semi-barbaric rudeness of the lower class:
" Them there.! signora may teach ,me how
to knit Thee,
but she does net know
enough to teach meniodelling."
Apropos to this Roams rudeness peculiar to
the lower class; This, is the dilation when
around, the quarter or district of fit. Eustache,
near the pantheon, eat .prepamtions are
made for Christmas and Epiphany. All sorts
of toys are displayed, and' booths are set'up,
full of dolls and puppets—"poppazzi" as they
are called. A woman who' has one of the
largest displays in St. Eusttudie, fell , ill last
week, and my' physician was called in. ,4t
one of - his visits ho sakt, - eastially : •
" Next week' the 'Council °Pena; the town
will be full of Bishops."
Qui.k as lightning the woman replied with
all that sarcasm and wicked humor peculiar
to her race: ' .
“Si, presto avremo qua i Poppazzi!”
soon we shall have plenty of puppets i)
These Roman common people are just as they
were in the dine of the Omar& The Chrit
tan religion may have softened them sante
what, but the old leaVen remains. They are
haughty, disdainfol, full of the quickest and
most sarcastic wit, and express their oPixdOns
frankly, without regard to anyone's feelings.

One o f the yeang Roman princes, Whose
family mune an English poet , ,has made
famous, telegraphed in thb3 concise manner to
his family, from Paris, this summer
" Fidarvrsto = Atuericana--buona
500,000 "scud' !",
'But, unluckily for, the young prince, the
family of his laxly-lov d e does not consider i
suchim a ?mow visa; an hear that the mar
riag,e is "put off on account of weather until
further notice."
The backbone and sinew of this Roman
peopie is in the second class, which in all
countries is apt to be the best and wisest.
From this class have come their most distin
guished men, the Visoonlls, &c., and, to them
must Rome look - for real improvement and
progress. It is a circle that grows larger and
larger, and 88 a body I do not suppose there is
a more intelligent set of persons in Europe.
There is among them an amount of arelmolo
gical and classical information that is mar
velous.
I - visited some few studios on 4aturday, and
among others went to those of your towns
men, the two brothers Ilaseltine. The, sculp
tor Haseltine has some new itudio-rooms
opened on the Babuino—No':3o—in addition'
to his old ones in the Miugutta 2, D. and 119,
and in them his works are displayed to very
fine advantage. Some fountains ordered by
Mrs. Ben. Holladay for her country-seat. near
Rye were in the hands of the workmen,
and the statues of the, Misses Holladay were
being put into matble, One of the young
ladies is`represented in 'a hawking-costume of
the middle
° ages-4 very spirited, attractive
conception, The elder sister 'is as Psyche,
looking pensirely at a butterfly which is rest
ing on her hand. This young lady,' by the
Way, is on the - eve of piarria' ge with the eldest
son of COurrePonitalcs. The grandiathetof ihe
young gentleman Mire Holladay is to, Marry
*as the Count Potirtales who owned that vele=
prated collection of antiquities which was sold
in Paris, for some fabulous sum; several years
ago- „The family is.wealthy..r fimintPouriales
(the father) lias, a handsome= chateau near
Neuchatel,and at biench4tel the marriage is to
take place. M. Pourtales, the bridegroom
elect, IS lathe Freischdiplinnatio service, and
has been appointed to the French Legation at
Washington, whither the young couple' will
go after the wedding. '
In Mr. Haseltine's private room- I saw a,
striking bust of the Arab, of - which I have
above spoken; one of Buchanan Read, of
your townsman Gen. Tyler, Longfellow, and
Reveral others. The sculptor , was working on
two pretty ideal things in clay--Hero, with
the lamp, watching for Leander, very grace
fully conceived; the other an East Indian
girl bending over her little lighted bark,which
she is just about to launch on the sacred
stream,,,,,She is placing in it a pretty freight of
lotus fl owers, and with it go her 4 ! hopes, • and
fears Chat kindle hope,"
Mr. Stanley Haseltine, the , painter, has
moved into some handsome newstudlo-roonis,
No. 32 Via de'Greci. His , exhibition-room is
one of the finest in Rome. It is a treat to see
his tapestries, and carvings. .He has one bit
of Flemish tapestry e for which he sent to Spain;
it is the richest and loveliest work 'I ever
saw. The story of Judith and Holofernes is
told very quaintly upon it;bnt the conception of
the faces and the rich folds of the draperies,
the exquisite blending, of colora, axe ,mar
velously beautiful. Then there are Arras
and Beauvais specimens, which make , the high
walls of the studio very elegant. Mr. Reset
tine has also a lifedici wedding,chast, -beauti
fully carved, and a variety of Woodwork t but
looking down in suhlime pride upon. •all the
would-be antiquities is one of thohe greatest
marvels of all—a fine Etruscan vase, whose
age, counts by thontiands.r of ' years - Where the
others only number hundreds.
The decorations of, Mr., Ha.seitine's studio's
made me almost overlook ' his very beautiful
pictures. One of his 'lovely , Capri pictures,
with ttie tilting rock islandS, was on the ease
in the exhibition-room; and I thought it
showed to even greater advantage surrounded

filled up even that , vast building. ,The
fircession entered the great door at half-past
4. There"*ere 700 Fathers:in it, and it
T
one hour for it to pass any one given
igiint. I have seen se Many of these Church
Pfre:eessions diming the Year I have been in
floe that 'I have become very;familiar with
them. The principal and only ditletence in
t4lo,frogi the others was the immense number
Of4ishopti assembled in it. There was a
IR b large silver cross borne in front, which
wash the object of great admiration, although
ttiere were - many fine ones in the line. This
virii;reniarkable for size, and was 'studded
Wilt'' Precious stones; it was . the munificent
gfiqhf the Marquis of Bute for the .occasion.
The altar in the Council Hall was hung with a
twain gauze ,pf white and gold ;- it formed

great deal 'would be a simple repetition of
ceremonies already described. High pontiti
atl mass is always the same. There were
some things that took place which are worth
renientbering, however. The singing or chant

never expect to hear the like of again. The

Excavations In Intrkey.
The Porte has, We Ileneve, of late 'refused
permission to foreigners, whether private or
official, to make any excavations for the dis
covery of antignitiestwithin Its territory, the
plea being that it desires to reserve -all such
objects. for ' the Sultan's Museum at Constan

of thattollection, but theiatestpallee erected
by the Sultan embodies in one Shape an in
valuable memorial of archaeology, being built

in progress, in the interest of art, muter the
auspices of the Ottoman Government, and
what portion , of the new loan is to be set aside
for their prosecution. If they are limited to
the conversion of , hibtorical monuments' into
modarn palaces, our Foreign' Office , might,
perhaps, venture to suggest.that there is, no
sufficient reason why Englishmen should be

• ; Tlue Drama in Ronne.
An English paper says :
It has long , beett a atanding grievance with
the play-going public at Bonne, as also with
the dramatist& and composers whose pieces
' are performed in the Holy eity,that the papal
censors, wield their shears with a diligence
and a fervor unrivalled by the,censors of any
other known country.. The importance' of
guarding the sensitive Bobtail mindfrom even
the risk of contamination Seems to haunt the
revisers of plans like &nightmare. Aillicted,
apparently, with the same chronic terrors as
the tenons General Boum, they see the enemy
everywhere, and sooner: than allow him a
chance of creeping on to the stage through
a lurking passage, they hack ',a ' , whole
play valiantly 'to pieces; ; ; leaving
'little to reach the boards het the `merit skele
ton. The Roman correspondent of the , Paris
Liberte gives an account of the eminently in
telligent handling which' DonizetWs. Fattirita
has justtreceived before being •Inifferedlarayi
pear at the Argentine Theatre.; AS Will be
remembered, some of the ktrineipal scenes of
the opera are enacted in a monastery, with
bass solos by the .prior Balthazar and chorus
by the monks. This of. course, was deemed
objectionable. The idea, of allowirtg a prior
and monks to be reptesentedcould not be en
tertained for a moment, but as on the. other
hand it was impossible altogether. to
.ex
punge the scenes, the censors hit upon
the really happy expedient., of trans
forming the prior Balthazar into one
M. Baldlisarre, founder and managera
charitable institution ; whilst in conformity
with this change the monastery was converted
into an hospital, Fernattdo into a young doe-,
tor, and the monks into ward attendants.
What excuse the M. Baldasitrre, manager and
founder of a charitable institution, is Made to
offer for himself when he appearsin the second
act and solemnly anathematizes the King, the
correspondent of the Libert4 does not Wins,
but he remarks that the alterations of the een
sore give rise to irrepayabl4 scenes, and we find
no difficulty in believing him.
Tux WEST•PELILADELPITIA CHORAL SOCIETY.
The West Philadelphia Choral Society, a
modest, unobtrusive organiztion, whose
materiel, as its name indicates, is, with a few
valued exceptions, :from the western section
of the city, gave its fourth concert last evert
ing, at Morton Hall, with the assistance of the
Germania Orchestra. A society of greater
pretensions and longer existence would have
led reason to be proud of this performance.
The Third Miss of Haydn (in C), by some dis
tinguisbed Pe the " War Marra," from its hav
ing lieen composed during the siege of Vienna,
was the work Selected for the occasion. • Our
space does not permit as extended a reference
as we could, wish to the many merits, of its
performance. Let, it suffice, therefore, to say,
that it was characterized by such ••rare atten
tion to the details of expression on the part, of
the qhorns as left little indeed to be'desired by
the most/captious critic. The solos were given.
With intelligent and conscientious care; notice.;
ably, the noble Paso solo, qui tollis, by Mr:
Cochran, and the Leneclictris quartette.
We are not Speaking under thu temporary
lionise dim tiliWarranted 'enthusiasm when
r we recognize in this Society—.which has, be
come mainly what it is through the energetic
and competent efforts of Mr. Pierson, its
young Oonductor—the nucleus of a sacred
music society such as Philadelphia has• not,
truth to speak,in any other °fits similar organi
zations; a society,namely,intelligently and con
scientiously managed and directed and which
not only does not scorn,,but feels the necessity .
of thorough, freauent and indefatigable prepa
ration for each performance. That there exists
in this young organization a conscientious
regard for an intelligent public opinion, im
pelling them withother ,motives, to this ade
quate preparation, was abundantly manifested
last evening, It was evident, further, that
themembere qf, the society were discharging,
no mere perfunctory duty. They were corn
pletely interested in their work, and'iberefore
they did it well ; and although much of it into'
be ,credited to. the naturally superior character
of thd materiel of the organization, much of
this intelligent interest is, perhaps, due as
well to, the inspiration of its conductor; and
to him be the praise for the success, In the
same measure that responsibility would attach
for failure. Our West Philadelphia friends
should be heard aeon again, in a more public,
way, and;if possible, once at least this, aide'
of the river. Their delightful entertainment
of last .evening. was the augury of a most
hopeful future for them.

onday night'next' with R - Trovatere, which
will be cast among the following artists:
Madame Caroline 13.nol,Signor Letranc, Mad.
Eliza Lumley and Signor Ruyna. The first
of these singers is said to be a most adriiirable
artist, capable of giving entirely satisfactory
interpretations of the.. best soprano . roles.
Signor Lefrana has been praised with enthu
siasm. in other 'cities by critics who have not
hesitated to declare him to be'equal to the
best tenors who have sung in ; lits country.
This opera, and those that succeed,it, will be
supported by a very large chores 'aid by a full
orchestra, while, the appointments will be of
the 'handsomest character: On Tuesday
Crispin ela Cometre will be produced, and on

Main Street, Kenniunk.
To the editor of the Evening Batiletint ,
noticed an article l i,n your excellent yam of
-I?eceniber 29, 1869, in regard to the mid, on
Main street;Manayunk; but yen are error
as to the collecting of toll on said road, as that
ceased about two years since, the city having
bought out the Manayunk an 4 Flat Root:
Turnpike Company. The said street was bid
enough before the, city.bought it,' but: now it
appears they, intend that it shall be a gang
in place of a street. liut, Mr. Editors, we
should loon for the. 'cause of most of the
treleblei which mill be found in the fact .that
the Legislature of
,lhie,State granted a charter
to certain designing men to Construct a pas-
Banger railway; which Wag nor asked ter IV.
the citizens; ~of the place, neither :.waft
it wanted;. as we had afa_ple . accommoda
tion' by the 'Philadelphia; Germantown and
RarristoW Co: for the ingress 'and
egress of •the, citizens Of Manayunk , and
vicinity,. but this 14tilway, Company, for
reasons best known to thetoselveg f were per.
xiiitted to indict this 'nuisance upon our-citi—
zens, by placing their track , on the onlylatreet
entering 'anayunk, anti it is now almost inn
possible to remedy this cendition of things, so
long as said'. railway is niloived vto , exist;
although the CityNounella have.pasped'a lnylt
for the paving of said street from Shur's lane
to Green lane, which, I suppose, *ilk be 'done
SOME time. Yet there will remain nearlya
of road from Shur's lane to the interseetiotkof
Ridge 'Road, which eertainlY will ncit'be'paved
for the next ten year& What Should be done,
J. think is, that the Grand Juryshotild declarta
the eaid railway a ptiblic nuisance and cause.
its removal; and then we'should bare one runt
by which veliieles'could- enter and depart. to ,
and from,the enterprieingplace of Vana,vuok,
and there ,woUld be very Oitrmuit9,l4l:
getting the • City CoUncilti to' repair the Rid",
turnpike trot ; Shueti Lane to the interseo:
thin of Ridge Road, and the citizens would.
willingly pave aboire Shur's Lane. Previous.
to the construction of said railway we had.
one of the most beautiful drives of any lead'
ing to and from the city, as, doubtless;
of your readers are well aware. 'I t,ritst ;tper
Grand Jury may be able to find time toatteriii
'o this very important matter. ' ' '
