But then a small . part of ,some days is worth the whole of other days, and the six teenth day of February, in. this year -of our Lord eighteen hundred and seventy; might have made whole weeks that precededit. For of all winters on record this has been the most dismal at Florence, and is pronounced by" the oldest inhabitant" (for that venerable personage is spending the winter here for the benefit of his much-impaired health) "an ex centional winter." So when after rain, rain, rain for many days, the rain became a snow storm, and the snow became slush, and the shish became mud, and all the world was out of- patience, and then. the . stui_ displayed a smiling face, we bad "one of the days you read about," as the boys used to say when we were a boy too—one of the days that made us feel as though " we were a boy again," as we have often heard ladies wish (in song) they were. And that was the day we went to Pisa; and, therefore, though our "Day at Piste was only apart of a day, say we not well of it " a day," as if it had been a whole day? And firs t we went to the depot in a carriage —four of us, three ladies and ourself. And I even the carriage-ride was a harbinger of good t . ter the driver smiled when we got in, andwe smiled, for we had had our breakfast, •and were oft in good time.

The throng ,of peapie Who swarmed everywhere save on the sidewalks impeded us greatly. Especially at the market place was our patience sorely exercised. Nevertheless, wo found amusement in watch ing the women cheapening the meat and vege tables with numerous• and graceful, though earnest, gestures. "Mutton groves," as• Dic kens calls, them, were, not numerous ;- yet their proprietors bad no time to , take much of an airing beneath their shade, for customers were in plenty, and purchases, if not large, were numerous. The clothes hung up for sale were evidently intended more for use than:for show, and the purchasers were tint the people of fashion whom one sees at Nice or Florence, but people who mean business. Finally, the everlasting cart turned with a melodious creak down a, side street, and we made our way with more speed towards our destination. A curve, an ' elbow, a straight line, and Nelly said: " Why, it don't lean at all." SO we knew we were approaching the famed monument which had served to illus trate our juvenile geography and history, and in our college days had been Called by the "professor lecturing on architecture" the Eighth Wonder of the World.

(Correspondence of the Phila. Eireteg Bulletin.] IPAIIIB, Tuesday, Feb. ',22, usual series of our customary spring-tide exhibitions of art, industry, &c., has this year, for the first time, been most happily and successfully in augurated by the superb agricultural • show at this moment open at the Palace of Industry in the Champs Elysees. The attraction has proved to be very great, and the spacious build ing and its adjuncts have been crowded with a host of visitors of all ranks and callings, from • the Emperor and Empress and the Archduke Albert of Alistria, and all the fashion of the metropolis, down to the humblest cottager of the environs, and many a peaSant fantod from` Nornaandy and Brittany. The Exhibition, indeed, contains objeets of in terest for almost every one, and is, arranged with so much taste that the coup (Neuf/ alone would send one away satisfied. I bad the pleasure of what may be called quite a " private view " of the Exhibition on the morning of Sa turday last, at a moment when only the judges had been admitted and were going their rounds, and before the doors had been opened at twelve o'clock onthat day to the general public, at the exceptional price of five francs. Nothing really could exceed the beauty anu taste oitlie display ; and the French may well boast that their native talent in this respect can make an agricultural show as pleasing to the 'eye of 'a fashionable lady as to the mind of a practical fanner. The view from thegallerle,s was quite charming. All down the spacious nave stood ranged in neat., tarsty stalls _such rows of fat oxen as it must have done an agriculturist's heart good'to contemplate. These were about four hundred in number, and were all got up in quite a coquettish manner, with bows of ribbon and neat clothing, and kept with scru- pulous cleanliness Here and there you saw the two peasant proprietors, both man and wife, who had come up to Paris to exhibit their belle bite," brushing and smoothing dOwn the skint of their favorite till it shore like that of a racer, All the best breeds of France are .finely represented; the beautiful snow white, or some times pinky-looking (from their fine skins showing through their silky white coat) Nivernais breed, from the centre of France. These are magnificent animals:--pure white, of immense size, with prodigious horns, backs as straight as an arrow, head a perfect triangle, indicative of the highest breeding, and the body just that "parallelogram set upon four short legs" which a butcher knows well to be the best possible shape for carrying beef. And plenty of beef, Nivernais oxen do carry. I question whether anything equal to them in size, beauty and purity of race and form can be shown even by our beef eating neighbors across the Channel. The progress which French agricultural breeders have made of late years in this respect is mar- venous, and quite equal to_ anything which has been effected by the French Jockey Club in the way of horseflesh and Gladiators. Equally good, too, though not quite so catching, per haps, to the eye, are the fine, mottled, plum-pudding colored Normandy race, and the light-brown oxen from the Garronne and, the Limousin. But I must not dwell longer on these. Around the sides of the nave are ranged in pens about an equal number of prize sheep and rams. Here again the French have been most sue. cessful in Combining the qualities of the best English Leicester; and Southdowns with those of their own Merinoes, and thus pro ducing as fine mutton as their rivals, with a superior fleece. The porcine race is repre sented by about two hundred specimens, the enormous fatness of which makes them an extraordinary contrast to the high, long-legged, lean, greyhound-looking, traditional French pig which one used to see as one passed through the streets of every village in the days of diligence-traveling. But perhaps the pride of France is her poultry, which is absolutely unrivalled by any other country, either for beauty in the poultry-yard or flavor on the table. The Exhibition con tains upvgards of seyen,handred choice speci mens, alive, of the native of Crevecceur, Hou dan and Brisse breeds, with the acclimated Bramah-Pootras and crested Padoues and Hol landaises ; and, besides, of four hundred dead fowls, trussed each in the fashion of the dis trietj they come from, tied with bits of lihie ribbon, and laid put upon counters with such an inviting aspect as to prove irresis tible (in spite of the enormous prices de manded) alike to feminine housekeepers and, male gourmets. We are just drawing near to what are called 'the jours gras before Lent; and you may, see many 'a purchaser at the Palace of Industry bargaining for a fat capon (to be delivered to-morrow at the close of the allow) at the price of 40,110 and even 80 francs; to which, when you add 20 'or 40 francs more for truffles, the dish becomes cer tainly a costly one. Besides the above, there is an exhibition of nearly 1,000 cheeses, and one of butter on the same scale. The French are absolutely un rivalled In their production of the finer kinds of the latter, and excessively nice' and delicate in their taste . respecting it; That which you see set out on ree4rehi French dinner tables, and Which is handed round as a hors (rceuvrw, of ten . eosts five or francs or more a pound, and is quite ., a . delicacy—as different froth the thing ordinarily called "butter" as the litter is from the " binbber " eaten by an Esqulmaux. A friend, newly arrived 'in Paris, once said to me: "I was dining, the other day, at the boi l :Ito de '(nent ping,- Flea , house), and the servant nanded irkwhat th-y celled a Aiwa irteuvre ; but when xt fooked 4 at; it; it was ;Only a bit of butter,' so of 'course, I didn't 'take it." "My dear felloWyq reinied;: "next time you dine there, my advice to you is, tatte the Count's butter, and eat it with the same respect as you drink hislafitter. , But I am forgetting the Agricultural Show, of which 'a few more words remain to be said. The immense galleries round the pave are devoted to a most interesting display of cereals of every kind, in theoain and'lnlthe gat"; the latter being eithibited in bundles tastefully tied up and grouped« —Also, vegetablesi&all kinds, with the entire produce of Algerian cal tivation. On the walls above are suspended colored engravings of all these agricultural productions, of a beauty and fidelity of execu tion which I never saw equalled. To sum up shortly, : There are, in the whole, about 5,00 Q entries in the catalogue of this most interesting collection, which extends over 56 octavo pages.

Mier Arrival at Bombay with the Tele. graph Capin—The Matron:a England. ,From the , Eitit fndies, lik'WhY of London, comes the following.interesting report,dated at Bombay on the 20th of January :' • To Bombay , people the event of the week has; been the arrival• of the Great'Etiiterri; greater part of the,cable that Is .to ,be, laid be tween Bombay:and,Subi.. She was signalled on Thuraday evening, arid haiing lain - outside during the night; sailed up the harbor •to -her 'moorings yesterday morning. 'tier voyage has been performed without a mishap. •She left Portland on the,Oth of November, stayed six ' days •at St. Vincent and eight at the Cape, the ' length of the • voyage 'being thus eighty three day's including stoppages. We may mention tilt/she 4 4 hugged " the land - on the west and south coast of Africa and for two days up the east coast, and finding the cur rents strong then went right across to the west coast of Madaga.sear. Thereafter her rate of sailing increased from about . 110 to about 200 miles per day. The Chiltern, bringing another part of the cable, arrived safely on Wednesday last. We need hardly say that the Great East ern is the talk of everybody, European or na tive; and while she is here, the powers placed over hei permitting, there is certain to he a continual rush of visitors to her decks. She has to take in some 6,000 tons of coal. Three coal-laden ships have been lying here waiting for her, and that over she will go outside the harbor, in order that the shore end of the cable may be laid in Back Bay., After she has spent some ten or twelve days at 'Bombay the daily, routine of cable-laying will begin, and it is gratifying to think that the great work is'lso near completion. The Chiltern will ,accompany the Great Eastern during the voyage in ease of accident. TAR NATURALIZATION LAWS. Some important changes in the naturaliza tion laws of the United States are Contemplated by a bill now before the 'louse of Representa tives. A previous residence of three years only, instead of five, is to be required, and the notice of intention is to be given only twenty days instead of two. years berate making the application. The power of making citizens is, however, to be confined, with a few excep tions, exclusively to' the United States courts, but the judgment awarding eitizenshipl to the applicant is not to take ellect till, siX. ,utonths after it is rendered. Of soldiers of sailors honorably discharged from the Bel vice 'of the United States only one year's residence is to be required. The Circuit and District Courts are to have power to refer applications to a District or Circuit Court. Commissioner, or a Register in Bankruptcy, to be specially de- • . • °Loll ha.•nrhnonongri in tan testimony, and report to the • Dort with Lis opinion. IVANM)A AND THE PROVINCES. The lesser British North American Provinces' do not exhibit that alacrity in annexing them selves to the Dominion of Canada which was 6-xj.pected of them when the scheme was under taken. :Newfoundland and British Columbia have pronounced decidedly against the step, while Itupert'S Land is in open rebellion- to re sist its beir a' , forced upon it. The indications , ate now that Prnice - Edward Island also will refuse. " At all events, at a very full meeting of the aliens o`.' Charlottetown, the principal town of the island, held on the kith of last month, a resolution against einitinf . With the Dominion was adopted by a majonty of three to one, or, as some say, of five to one ; and it is more than probable that the rest of the island will take similar action.
