Mr. Russell’s Letter to the London Times. Tho last letter of Mr. Bussell to the London Times is dated August 10. It is mostly devoted to an enumeration of the acts of Congress and the current news. The following extracts are of gene ral interest: “I am inclined to think that General Butler's recent visit to Washington was connected with his desire to enforce on the minds of the military au thorities his plan of operations from Fortress Mon roe, in which, I must confess, there seems to me a great deal of soundness. There is, of course, diffi culty in the way of concentrating troops, baggage, and material by sea; but the Federalists, after all, are only twelve hours from Baltimore by the Chcsa -seakc, and a few hours more from Washington hey command the sen, and they ought to be able to collect in force more rapidly by means of a naval ■flotilla than the Confederates could assemble to oppose them. With all the efforts that a man can make to keep down his expenses, the mighty, spasmodic efforts of the North to create and maintain a great military establishment are attended by great waste; but peculations, which bavo been of late extensive and active, putting devil’s dust and shoddy into cloth, brown paper into shoe and indulging in simi lar practices, whereby patriotic citizens make for tunes by their country’s losses, have not so much to do with the extravagance as the ignorance of those charged with the distribution of the public money- I have seen it stated in an American paper that a volunteer costs five times as much as a regu lar soldier, and I haTe been assured, by an officer of the regular army, that a volunteer costs certain ly three times as much as an enlisted private. It is generally declared that every soldier maintained by the United States costs £2OO per annum The last act of Congress was to raise the pay of the soldier to thirteen dollars a month, or about two pounds seventeen shillings and six pence, and this paid to him with little or no deduction, such as our Eoldiers suffer from. In the matter of ordnance alone the waste must be extraordinary. Guns of all calibres, six pound ers, tens, twenties, thirties, and special rifled ord nance for each description; all Binds of experi mental guns on trial, some probably not more efficacious than the famous proposal which has been suggested in many Northern papers, of driving the enemy from Manassas, and of destroying those eternal masked batteries, how do you think. By the plan of onr old ffiond Pelissier. in Algeria, when he smoked the Arabs out of their caves! To be cure, there are no caves here, but still it is pro posed to rout the Confederates by setting the brush wood in their front on fire. Southern ingenuity, not to be outdone, has discovered nn equally effec tive mode of gaining on the enemy at Fort Pickens, and a Mobile paper proposes that- tin vessels should be filled with snakes, scorpions, and other agreeable insects and reptiles, to be discharged by mortars and guns into the interior of the fort, so as to de liver their ploasant consignments on arriving among the garrison.” The New Grand Opera at Paris. [From the New York Musical Review.] The plan of the New Grand Opera-house is now definitely settled. The design adopted is that of M. Gamier. The form of the edifice, says the Slide, is a parallelogram, with rounded angles, flanked at the sides by two projecting pavilions, at right angles to the streets abutting on them. The western pavilion—that is to say, the pavilion front ing the Bue de Bonen—is intended for the private entrance of the Emperor; the eastern pavilion, looking upon the Bue de Lafayette, will be the en trance foroarriages. The principalfagade, reserved for pedestrians, is an imposing mass. It offers some analogy with thßt of the Garde-Meuble, but its colonnade is composed of coupled columns, like those of the Louvre. Persons arriving by the eastern pavilion will alight under a covered gallery, leading to a circu lar waiting-room, situated immediately under the audience part of the theatre. This waiting-room resembles, to a certain degree, the vestibule of the Theatre _ Frangais. Bound it is a circular gallery communicating with the entrance gallery- The Sand staircase bears some analogy to that of the oria Palace at Genoa. It will lead only to the grand tier of boxes and the other first-class places. F’rom the extremities of the vestibule will spring two secondary staircases—worthy, however, of the edifice —for all the stories. These staircases, the plan of which is a semicircle, open in its diameter, consists of a succession of winding flights, sustained by superposed arcades. The vi sitor reaches the grand staircase by a central ves tibule, while he gains access to the other two by Ia- the whole* fagade next &e Boulevard. This peristyle, a sort of Salle-des-Pas-Perdus, communicates with galleries which enable the pub lic to circulate under cover round the entire edi fice. M. Garuier’s plan is kept within the lines laid down by the Municipal Board of Works; for these lines, despite the sharp criticism towhioh they have been subjected, have been but very slightly modified, or rather not modified at all. The new edifice will cover a superficial area of 11,226 square meters—that is to say. double the area occupied by the present Opera-house and its outbuildings. Now, 14,000 meters having been granted by the bill framed for the purpose, there will remain 2,774 meters for the squares and plan tations. The works will be commenced on the Ist August. They will be completed in three years, at a cot of about twelve million francs. The 965th number of the Builder contained a full account of the works in prospect for the new Opera House in Paris, and of the new method of lighting the present one, lately devised by M. Lis sajous, and put into operation. The following ex tract will interest all who are occupied in the con struction of theatres: “ The gas-burners in a row are placed eighty, centimetres below the stage, where they are completely enclosed. The lumi nous rays are gathered by opposed reflectors of ■curved form in aectiop, and projected to the scene in that part 61 tteUontiivk'fiCe fl’ntca'isrifWiy l sarily above the stage, extending the length of the ‘ramp,’ asof the row of lights below, and which opening is glazed with ground glass. The eyes of the actors are not dazzled; and, sitting in the pit, we can say there is a very decided gain for the spectators. Some of the principal singers were at first not pleased with the change; but such objec tions, we believe, may disappear when it is disco vered that sound will now more readilv than before reach the audience. It remains to he explained that the products of combustion being passed by the several chimneys of the burners into the long horizontally-placed light-reflecting recipient, pass from that by transverse ducts (of terracotta) into a pipe or channel placed parallel to the former, and connected at each end, that is, each side of the house, with a pipe placed perpendicu larly and ending above the roof. There may be a question as to the quantity of light as at present arranged; but in the diflnsion of the light, as well as those respects which are obvious, the system is a great improvement on the old one. There is so little danger to persons on the stage that we are told a eambrie handkerchief can be dropped on the ‘ ramp’ without being ignited.” GENERAL NEWS. . Floba Temple vs. Ethax Alle.v A well contested trot took place on Thursday between the above celebrated horses, over the Fashion Course, L. I.; mile heats, best three in five, and was won by the team in three straight heats. Mr. J. W. Hocklomb, part owner of Ethan, drove the team on this occasion, and managed them exceedingly well. He brought out the extraordinary time of 2.191, which is the best time Flora ever made. The second heat especially was closely contested, the horses coming down the homestretch almost neck to neck. The rate of odds at starting was about 100 to 40 against Flora. In this race Flora had the pole in each heat. The result seemed to give general satis faction. The following is the summary Ethan Allen, (J. W\ H0ck10mb,)..... Flora Temple, (J- D. McMann,) Time-2.23; 2.192; 2.21. Additional Brigade Surgeons Appointed. —The following brigade surgeons were assigned to duty on Thursday: S. IT. Gross to Brig. Gen. Ro bert Anderson; J. D Robinson to Major Gen.

Ellsworth to Major Gen. Fremont; S. V. Bell to Major Gen. J. C. Fremont; A. H. Hoff to Major Gen. J. C. Fremont. A Sad Affair. —The Washington corres pondent of the New York Times relates the fbl lowing; “A loyal Virginian, who was near our outposts in the woods near Gen. Porter’s division, fancied he heard some persons moving through the woods near him. He crawled through a clump of trees, where he concealed himself; but hearing nothing further, he arose, and while walking to wards our lines was shot with two bullets. lie succeeded in reaching our pickets, and after making the above statement died. He was dressed in citizen’s clothes, had never been attached to our army, and there was no circumstance to he stated in mitigation of the assassin’s act.” The Cincinnati Enquirer relates a tale of infatuation, misery, and death. A son ef a promi nent judge of Buffalo, N. Y., became acquainted with a. notorious female of that town, and the pair came on to Cincinnati. Time passed, and the youth became sick and died. His father came on to get the remains, but found it necessary to procure the assistance of the police, as the woman refused to deliver them up. Such was her infatuation, in fact, that it is said she followed them all the way to Buf falo, in the some train, after vainly endeavoring to retain them by a writ of replevin. Such devotion in one of her class was certainly singular. A Policeman Assaulted by Burglars.— About four o’clock on Thursday morning, while a New York policeman was patroling his beat, he discovered four men endeavoring to break into a gun-store on Broadway. He at once sounded the alarm, and rushed upon the men for the purpose of 1 arresting them, hut they drew knives and stabbed him in the wrist, hand, and arm. besides knockin'? him down senseless, after which they lied an 3 escaped. Winter Clothing.—Tlie Richmond papers contain a notice signed by Governor Letcher, call ing upon the people of the State to adopt measures at once for providing winter clothing for Virginia iroeps. He all citizens of the Common wealth to furnish articles of clothing, of substantial fabric, ready-made, as it may be in their power to tender. 1 Singular and Fatal Accident occurred f?.. a ln Goderich. Canadu, recently. The tittle lellow, who was not two years of age, had, it appears, been playing about the gate of his father’s premises and had climbed on to the lower crosdrall. His foot must have slipped, and his head catching between the upper rails he became suspended m this manner until found, when ho wns quite dead. Sailing under the British Flag Amim ber of vessels belonging to Americans, and which have left the port of Boston for a week or two past for foreign have sailed under the British flag, hy having their papers transferred over to" a British subject, under a late nctof Congress relative to the sale of American vessels to foreigners. Major General Fremont has issued a spe cial order, strictly prohibiting all vexatious pro ceedings calculated unnecessarily to harass the citizens, and all unauthorized searches, seizures, and destruction of properly —except in cases of military necessity, of and for which the officer authorizing or permitting it will be held strictly and personally responsible. Escape of Prisoners from the Trenton (New Jersey) Jail.—On Thursday.morning, as the keeper of the coußtjEjail,Trenton;jw:aa unlock ing, a door, ono of the pnwuers tkrew.fthandCul of snuff in his eyes, and Bix of them managed to eseape. Four of them were subsequently recaptitrefl. Superiority of Butler has procured from Governmfefit an older for eighteen cannon, rifled on the Sawyer pattern, with 200 shells for each. He expressed the opi nion that the Sawyer guns otc superior to all others. Tue Providence Journal is informed that there is a George B. McClellan, who is an officer in a Mississippi regiment, and who bears n marked resemblance, in appearance, to General George B. McClellan. Gen. Bragg lias not the powder to bom bard Fort Pickens. The Boston Post asks : “Why don’t Fort Pickens bombard him, and make him burn what powder be has on hand, at any rate Tun Governor of Vermont has appointed the 26th of September as a day of fasting, humilia tion and prayer. This is the day appointed by tho President for the same object Hon. Joshua R. Giddings, of Ohio, lias written a long letter in opposition to the proposition of abandoning the Republican party and establish ing a new organization. Miss Louisa Lander, the distinguished sculptor, sister to Brigadier General Lander, has arrived in Washington, with the intention of open ing a studio. Col. Butler, who arrived in Washington on Thursday morning from Fort Montroe, says the rebels at Norfolk deny the death °f -1 eft- Davis, but admit that they have lost a man of distinction. The Gunboats Building at East Boston. —The three gunboats building at East Boston are being pushed forward with all possible despatch. Brown University has just conferred the honorary degree of A. M. on Governor Sprague and General Burnside, and on no others. - Since flic 4th of May last, ten hundred and eighty-five men have enlisted at New Bedford, Mass. Dan Kick’s rhinoceros, which escaped while being brought to Lacrosse, (Wig.,) a few weeks since, has been recaptured by means of a chain-trap. George Francis Train, the introducer of passenger railways into London, arrived in Boston a day or two since. Pennsylvania Paymasters Appointed.— John A. L. Morrell and Maris Hooper, of Pennsyl vania, have been appointed additional paymasters. Mr. Faulkner still remains in custody. He is allowed no personal communication with his friends. The Charleston Courier says that they have not yet suspended the habeas corpus act in the South. No! They suspend the offender. Lord Adolphus V. Tempest is among the distinguished visitors in Washington. He comes to study our science of war. John Kane was killed near Chicago, 111., by Mike Bains recently, in a quarrel about a woman. An Irishman, whose name is unknown, was murdered at Attica, Indiana, on Friday, by a man named Conklin. Rev. Henry Budoe, who has been on trial, at- liomc, N. Y.. for the murder of his wife, has been acquitted. Mr. Henry Potts, a prominent citizen of Pottstown, Pa., died in that borough on Saturday last. Captain Garnett, cousin to Major Garnett from California, has reached Richmond, and offered his services to the Confederate army. - General Magruher, from the Peninsula, was la Richmond on the 2, th ult.
