LIFE lit LONDON THE "TIMES" NEtv-.
PAPERS-PARIS, JtO.
There is everything in London to admire)
its populousness, its wealth, its gorgeousness,
its dazzling splendor J but there is the other
extreme, and you cannot walk a rod, especial
Jy at this season, without meeting objects
which nil you with anguish, and make you
'.Vender how human beings can live under
'such wretchedness and destitution. Here, in
the midst of plenty, men, and women and
' children are dying of absolute starvation J
and when you see theso poor shivering, hun
gry creatures looking into tho window of t
eook shop, redolent with every savory per
fume, and crowded with viands, cooked and
'uncooked, of every description to tempt and
pamper the Epicurean appetite, you are a
mazed that a thin, transparent plate of glusa
keeps them back from an actual onslaught
"Whether any can by human ingemiity be i it-
vented or found, is too difficult a problem for
foe to solve. The tide of human life here
that rolls along the great streets is beyond
all description; where they all come from',
( where they are going to, how half of them
. are fud, how half of them are lodged is in.
conceivable Eight times out of
"liine, the Times publishes a supplement, and
Very frequently two supplements, almost ex
clusively devoted to advertisements. The
'tiharge for advertising is always considerable
.', though there is included a heavy duly to the
government. Each column of advertisements.
; after tho duty to the government is deducted
may be expected to pay at least twelve pounds
sterling, or say sixty dollars. Now, in count
ing the columns in the Times, with its two
Supplements, which lay before me, I find
seventy-six columns of advertisements. This
would be Xl2, or S-litid for the advertise
ments in this single paper: now, two-thirds
'of this sum, any for three hundred days
would bo 9 14,0011. Add to this, the pro
ceeds of twenty-five thousand papers sold,
nfter 'all'ovin$ the trovertinieiit tav, which
would bu SI 7ui) per day, and would be, by
the year, $543,00, making total of the re
ceipts for a single newspaper establishment,
of 31,458,000. What do yon say to this ?
With biiefcingle gross exception,
the streets in Paris are as clean as in London
tho public conveyances ' much better; their
drivers are belter dressed, runt the voituret
and carriages much cleaner. The driver be
ing always required to give you his number
on a card when you enter, and the table of
fares being posted up in the carriage. Von are
secure against imposition. The omnibuses
are so w ide that you can get in ami nut with
out crowding your neighbors, and there is an
iron bar or strap overhead to steady your
jKissage, besides lliey are always lighted at
night. The streets aro more quiet than in
London. None of those unfortunate creuturcs,
who infest the streets of London, by night
'and by day, are ever suffered to show them
selves before candle lighting; they are not
pel milted, under the severest penalties, to
speak to any person without encouragement,
ami are at once taken to prison, if they are
found in the streets after eleven o'clock.
I was presented with a ticket a
few nights since, for tho opera, to see nud
"hear Jenny Lind. Parts of her singing, or
rather the singing of certain parts, I have
'heard better executed by others ; but, as a
whole, I have never heard her equal, or
scarcely any one comparable to tier. I have
never known such extraordinary compass of
voice, such facility of exeCnVmn, tiuch flexi
bility, such beauty and melody of articula
tion and accent. It is something of a con
'trast, however, to find people paying two
gineas, that is then, and sometimes fifteen,
null sometimes twenty dollars, for a single
'seat, and then come out and bo surrounded
with poor 'WTetches, begging a few pence to
save thorn from lodging in tho gutter or on
the sidewalks all night.
SttKiKO Gold on the Rio GltX. A cor
respondent of the New Orleans Delta writing
from Chihuahua, North Mexico, says:
Chihuahua, we find to be a place of much
more importance than any place we have yet
passed through. Many American merchants
re concentrated here. There are not less
than '150 Xmericans here, now en route for
California, tor the "Gold Diggins" wherever
they can find thom It is asserted here, and
from pretty goVid authority, that tho Rio Gila
abounds in gold rh'Sf where most apjiear to
lie steering their course Several parties
have left ttvve for lite Kin Gila, one of which
is the one to which Dr. G. M. Wozencraft
belonged. A, large parly is forming here to
proceed to California with wagons-. We are
informed that a Mexican went to tho Rio
Gila, and came back in three months with
$30,000 worth of gold dust. Wo expect it
will consume about forty days 16 travel to
the Gila.

by Baron Lefroy, when Mr. Doppipp Jt0OW.
ing the dreadful circumslanceH under 'which

ami the who had been brought from Kilker-

eaten a portion of tho hps of one of their

relate that no language can depict the mis
