Curreßponflf nee of the Lowlem Thor e The reigning scandal of the day is the attar of the convent of Picpus. So highly roused has public Indicnntion been by the supposed discovery of atrocities cormnitted within those jealm4 walls that the people have been exclu ded until the investigations of Justice shall be complete. I managed, however, to penetrate within the premets by nthiching myself to the cortege of an English friend, who wits Jour neying thither under special oftleial orders, to investigate the case of an English sister ❑anted Garret. In the Rae de Picini, near Mazas prison, stand two large buildings, each stir: rounded by high walls, above which may be seen green trees at intervals. The one is an establishment of the Jesuits, the other the White Nuns. The Jesuits brothers escaped at the first sign of approaching danger, but the sisters held their own until forced into calms and conveyed to the cells at St. Lazare, there to await the results of a judicial Inquiry into entain !natters that are deemed suspicious. Arrived at the gate of the convent, we were obliged to force our way through a crowd of angry people who demanded an instant per mission to enter, and who were as persistent ly swept back by a group of National Guards —we, however, being admitted inside the door under cover of the official pass and sig. natnrm s. In the courtyard, under the shade of some time trees, a few Guards were PLAYING BOWLS IN VIE JESUITS' ALLEY, and making up to one of them Whose cap dis• played tokens of authority; we mentioned our business, and begged permission to See what was to be seen. Our friend Was very civil, accepted it segar, and marched us oil to go the rounds. lie pointed out to us the fact, of which there ceitainly could exist no kind of doubt, that the two buildings communicated one with the other by means of an old door ,which still exists at the back of a" stable, as well as by other apertures in the garden wall, which show signs of having been rem ntly :closed up. The .1. suits' garden is a most beautind one, occupying a space of sonic twelve aeres, laid out with care, and furnished With fruit trees of every description, pruned tend trained alter the latest horticultural de ! signs. There are WONDRoUSIN INOUNIOUi PLANS, too, for irrigating the beds; 'forcing pits and hot.houses, and long alleys with vines trained over Iloon. Through the old door above mentioned we passed into lhe•Sisters' garden, equally large and beautiful, though not kept with the same care. In the centre stands a gym nasintn, I suppos • for the use of the children brought up under the sisters' bare, and further on their cemetery, it lovely spot, where under the heavy shuttle of ancient cypresses, lie bearers of sonic of the most ancient mantes in France—•'Prnee:of Saint-Nyrhourg inunolatad under the Terror, aged •l 9 ;" " llochefou could ;' " DeNoailles," " Montmorency," "the great Lafayette," the whole family of the Talley rand-i'erigords, and legions of princes and princesses. Some of the vaults have been opened; and ninny lead eoliths, half-covered with ROTTING VELVET AND 1.101.1. , LACE, lie exposed to the light of day, awaiting an examination in the hands of the minister of ins( Xe. At the extreme end of the garden, however, arc the three little conical huts, side by side, resembling white ants' nests, which have been the cause of so much excitement and judicial inquiry. NV bewthe convent was occupied by the National Guards these little tuns were tenanted each by an old woman, enclosed In a wooden cage, like a chicken's pelt, the three buildings being similar in size and construction, six feet square by seven in height. with a sl•l1e roof, through which day. light was visible, while the three 1114 women Were =I The Lady Superior has kept her lips re solutely closed tip to the present time, but admitted, when first questioned, that the three sufferers had lived in their hideous prison for nine years, in an atmosphere or stilling heat throughout the summer, and half frozen with cold throughout the winter; "but," she added, "they iv vre idiots when they Caine.' The conduCtor of the inquiry replied, that if such were the case, it was illegal to have ad mitted them to the convent at all, and that even sivposing them to have been admitted, the place where they Wt re found was not a lit dwering place for a dog A key was dis covered among her papers, labelled "key of the great Vault ;" but where this great vault may be has nut yet been found out. The Sup rior and her nuns keep a uniform and pers.stent silence upon the point ; excavat lone have been made at different points in the gar dim, and under the high alter of the chapel, but hitherto without etl ct. At one end of the nuns' garden stands an isolated building, in which were found mattrasses with straps and buckles, 116) two IltoN CORSETS, SitUl.o ,% NO A 'RACK turned by a cog-wheel, evidently intended fir bending back the body with force. The Superior explained that these were orthopedic iastruments—a superficial falsehood. The mattresses and straps struck me as being easily accounted for; I have seen such things used in French midwifery; and in cases of violent delirium ; but the rack and its adjuncts are justly objects of grave suspicion, for they imply a use of brutal force which no disease at present known would justify. On our way hack through the gardens our guide made a detour in order to•show us a GicLAT SU BTERRAN FAN W AM:ROUSES Where tin enormous quantity Of potatoes wits stored, as well as barrels fall of salt porky It bile in the yard hard by lay a grunting fat pig. " Look at this!" cried our National Guard indignantly. " Look at these stores, which might have helped to feed the starving 'mar of the arrondissement during our six months' siege, and think that these people were begging from door to door the Whole time for money to buy broken vietualis for their pensioners !" Arrived at the entrance gate, our guide nudged me, telling nte in whispers to look at the old woman who was wandeting about, folloWed by a younger one stooping front time to time to pick up at leaf or rub her hands with sand and gravid. "That is Stitur Bernardine," he said, of the three prismreiß of the wooden cages. She is the most sane in mind of the three, and w•e keen her here under the cure, of one of ,air wires to cheer her up." ONLY FIFTY, SHE 1,01)KS SEVENTY " The other two have been removed, as they were rendered violent by the crowd and change of scene." I passed close to her and she iooked np—a sun., pale face, with sunken eyes, shaded by the frills of a great cap. She looked at me daz,•dly, without taking any no tice, and stooping again, filled her hands with refuse coffee grounds, which she put Into her mouth, until prevented by her companion. Without showing any prejudice in the mat ter I think I can safely say that the ladies now hut up nt St. Lazare, will find it no easy matter to clear themselves of blame ; for, though there arc doubtless many suspicious circumstances that may be explained away; there arc also hard facts which kill remain hard facts in spite of the most elaborate at. tempts at refutation. Thirty-seven lusurgents were butchered a once before the hotel de Ville, last week. LIVING TAPESTRY. The following curious' adventure happened in Bath In the year 170—, and the lady who narrated it to the writer was in llama days a yowl.; 1,2 hi the honse. It was In the palmy days of Bath, when that now fallen city rivaled T,ondon in brilliancy and dissipa tion,dind when all the rich, the gay and the highborn of England c tugregated there in season flea erased itSfe,llhlicA one'. the belle of the Court of George 111., but tit this period, gradually re. tirlng from general society, possessed one of the largest of the oldest houses, and gave in It entertainments that were the most popular of the day. She was celebrated for three things (once for four, hut the fourth—her beauty— was of the days gone by): these things were her fascination, her benevolence and a set of most perfect and matchless amethysts. Her house contained tapestried chatniters. The walls of the one In which she slept were hung around with designs front heathen my thology, and the fittest piece In the room was that which hung over her dressing table. It represented Thoelms driving the chariot of the sun. The figures and horses being life size, It filled the whole space between the two windows ; and the horses were concealed be hind the high old•fashioned Venetian looking glass ; while Photbus himself, six feet high, looked clown by night sod by day upon his mistress at her toilet. One evening Mrs. It-- had an unusually large pithy nt home. She wore all her ame thysts. On retiring to her room about two o'clock in the morning, sho took off all her jewels, laid them on the table, and dismissing her weary maid, intended to put them away herself, but before doing so, knelt down as usual to her prayers. While engaged in her devotions, it was a habit with her to look up ward, and the face of Phalbus was generally her point of sight, as it were, and the object on which her eyes most easily rested. On this particular night, as usual, she raised her eyes to Phoebus. What does she see ? Has Pygmalion been here at work ? Has he filled Those dull eyes with vital fire P Or is she dreaming ? No. Possessed naturally of won derful courage and calmness, she continued to move her lips so if in silent prayer, and never once withdrew her gaze, still the eyes looked down on hers. The light of her can dle shone distinctly on liquid, living orbs, and her good, keen sight enabled her, after a cleverly managed scrutiny, to see that 1.1:43 tapestry eyes of nimbus had been cut out, and that, with her door locked, and the ser vants In lied in their distant apartments, and all her jewels spread out before her, she was not alone in her apartment. She concluded her prayers with her face hidden in her hands. We can all imagine what those last prayers must have been. She knew there was some person behind that ta pestry ; she, knew equally well that bells and screams were useless, and she lay down in her bed as usual, and awaited tho issue, her only omission being that she did not put away her jewel. • "They may save my life," said she to herself, had she closed her eyes. The clock struck five before a sound was heard, and then the moment arrived. She heard a rustle, a descent from behind the tapes try. tied a man stood at her dressing table. He took oil his coat and one by one he secured the jewels beneath his waistcoat. What would be his next move I Would it be to her bedside, or to the door, or window? 'He turned, and approached her bedside ; but by that time she had seen enough, and, again closing her eyes, resigned herself to Providence, whose protec tion she had just been craving. The man was her ow a coachman. Apparently satisfied by a brief glance under his dark lantern that he had not disturbed her, he quietly unlocked the door and left her. For two hours—they must have seemed two days —she allowed the house to remain unalarmed, her only movement having been to relock the door which her living Pheebus had left ajar. At seven in the morning she rang her bell, and ordered the carriage round immediately after breakfast. All this was according to her usual habits. On the box was the man who had cost her a night's rest, and most probably all her jewels. However, she drove off; she went straight to the house of a magistrate. " Sieze my coachman," said she—" secure him and search him. I have been robbed, and l can hardly think he has had time to die. encumber himself of the Jewels he has taken from me.'' She was obeyed and she was right ; the ametnysts were still about him, and he gave himself up without a struggle. All lie said was " I wish now I had killed her. I meant to do it ; only she was so good I hadn' the heist." It is most probable that, 'after this exciting episode, the tapestry of that bed chamber was remorsely condemned, and the eyeless Phm• bus was consigned to . oblivion. TAKE Monts Si.nlir.—How many persona are there that go to bed at a reasonable hour 2 Many will sit up reading or conversing until twelve, one, or even two o'clock at night. This is kept up and finally becomes a habit, and when they do retire, they cannot sleep, they gradually lose flesh, become dyspeptic and debilitated ; being unable to account for emaciation, they consult a physician. Cer tain medicines are prescribed and still the dif liculty exists. The medical adviser has probably neglected to interrogate his patient as to his habits, and lie, too, is at a loss to understand why his remedial agents have not the proper salutary effect. The patient now changes physicians, and so he continues until from exhaustion i he s compelled to remain In bed, until nature regains her grand recuperative power of sleep, and the patient comparatively recovers for a few m o nths, when, If the same habit Is con tinued, he relarses into his former condition. Many persons will tell you they cannot sleep if they go to bed at nine or ten o'clock In the evening ; and this Is true, when the nervous system has been abused ; but when persons will retire at a reasonable hour, they will soon fall asleep and one hour's sleep, previous to twelve o'clock at night, will do the system more gond than three hours after that time. Sitting up late at night impairs the eyes and destroys the complexion, which add much misery to the life of young ladles. Young men should be...r in mind; when they Inflict their society on the fair sex till a late hour of night:that they call leave when they feel in clined, but their hostess Is compaed to enter tain them during their . visit.--Medie4l Reporter . MEE ATE A BUTTERED TOAD.—Next to the ex citement about the murder recently commit ted in Bridgeport, Conn., comes the fact of a man's having swallowed , a buttered toad on a wager, in that little burg, on Monday last. Mr. Hotchkiss, a hod carrier, was the man who swallowed the toad, and the operation Is described as follows: He procured the toad, and after buttering it all over, extended his huge jaws, and actually swallowed the thing alive, in the presence of a large number of witnesses. Several of the sight-seers were naturally curious to see how the fellow fared the morning after his feast, and upon Investi gation the fellow was found at his regular work, apparently as well as over. The but ter probably saved him. Dickens's First night in Boston I= How well I recall the bleak winter evening in 1842 when I first saw the handsome glow ing face of the young man who was even then famous over half the globe. He came bound log Into the Tremont House, fresh from the steamer that had brought him to our shores, and his cheery, voice rang through the ball as he gave a quick glance at the new scenes open ing upon him inn strange land on first arriving at a Transatlantic hotel. ' "Here we are I" he shouted, as the lights burst upon the merry party just entering the house, and several gentlemen came forward to greet him. Alt, how happy and buoyant ho was then. Young, handsome, almost worshiped for his genius,bolted round by such troops of friends as rarely ever man had, coming to a new country to make new conquests of fame and honor— surely it was a sight long to be remembered and never wholly to be forgotten. The splen dor of his endowments and the personal inter est Ito had won to himself called forth all the enthusiasm of old and young America, and I am glad to have been among the first to wit ness his arrival. You ask me what was his appearance as he ran—or rather flew—up the steps of the hotel, and sprang into the hall. Ile seemed all on fire with curiosity, and alive as I novel: saw mortal before. From top ,to toe. every fibre of his body was unrestrained and alert. What vigor, What keenness, what freshness of spirit, possessed him ! He laugh ed all over, and did not care who beard him ! Ho seemed like the Emperor of Cheerfulness on a cruise of pleasure, determined to con quer a realm or two of fun every hour of his overflowing existence. That night impressed itself on my memory for all time, so far as I am concerned with things sublunary. It was Dickens, the trite "Boz," in flesh and blood, who stood before us at last, and with my com panions, three or four lads of my own age, 1 determined to sit up late that night. None of us then, oreourso, had the honor of an ac quaintance with the delighted stranger,. and I little thought that I should afterwards come to know hint in the beaten way of friendship and live with him day after day in years far distant ; that I should ever it so near to him that he would reveal to me his joys and - hie sorrows, and thus that I should learn the story of his life from his own About midnight on that eventful landing, " Boz"—everybody called him " Boz" in those days—having finished his supper, came down into the office of the hotel, and joining the young Earl of M—, his fellow voyager, sallied out for a first look at Boston streets. It was a stinging night, and the moon was at the full. Every object stood . out sharp and gilt • tering, and " Boz," mulled up in a shaggy fur coat, ran over the shining frozen snow, wisely keeping the middle of the street for the most part. We boys followed cautiously be hind, but near enough not to lose any of the fun. Of course the two gentlemen soon lost their way on emerging into Washington from Tremont street. Dickens kept up oue contin ual shout of uproarious laughter as lie went forward, reading the signs on the shops, and observing the " architecture" of the new country into which lie had dropped as if from the clouds. When the two arrived opposite the " Old South Church," Dickens screamed. 'I o this day, Jack, I could never tell why.

Dickens scented quite unable to keep his fingers off the inviting knobs that protruded from the doors as he went post, and he pulled them with such vigor that one actually came off in his hand. tJp one street, down another, into alleys, through back yards, we saw the merry twain proceed. It was ev ident to us they not the remotest suspicion how they were ever to find their way back to the Tremont House. Not a watchman was dis coverable, and we felt it would be reserved for us to guide them hack to their lodgings. About one o'klock they approached us and asked their way to the hotel. The Earl put the question to our party, and Dickens spoke never a word, but stood by beating his hands and feet for warmth, the night having grown fiercely cold. Delighted with our luck, we volunteered to pilot the lost pair to Tremost, and only wished we bad miles to walk back with them instead of only a few Weeks. when we got near the steps of the mat], Dickens turned to one ofour partymod asked.

A MAN BLOWN TO PIECES A Titusville paper gives full details of the awful deathof Charles Clark, by nitroglyce rine. It says : Titusville for Tidioute, having in his wagon about 400 pounds or intro.glyce. rine, which he was conveying across the country to fill orders for torpedoes in his dis trict. lie was descending a hill and was passing a sluice In the road, over which were laid some logs and a plank, In such a manner as to be uneven, and his horses being on the fast trot, the' Jar as he passed over the rough bridge caused an explosion of the glycerine In his wagon, and he was hurled into eternity in an instant. The shock was terrific, and his 11'04 was .blown to atoms, parts of it. being scattered over the fields and in the road for sixty rods around. The explosion was heard In Tidi. oute, 12 miles away, and at Enterprise the people were severely stunned by the concus sion. All the windows for some distance around were broken. The house of Daniel Arnawine, which was, further down on the opposite side or the road, was also greatly damaged by having the win dows knocked out, and Mrs. Arnawine re ceived a blow from the butt of the whip, which was blown. from Clark's wagon through the window Into her house, striking her in the breast. The body was blown to shreds, and men soon after commenced looking in the vicinity for pieces of the same, and were successful in finding portions of it, but the largest por tion must have been blown to atoms, and can never be traced. The face was (build In the road near the old Reed well, about forty rods below where the explosion occurred. Strange as It may seem, he could be identi fied by it, although it was the mere outside, but the mouth, nose and eyes were preserved, also the moustache and a portion of his front hair ; the eyes were open, the mouth wore a pleasant look, and the features presented all air of dignity as If absorbed in a deep study. gentleman called on a rich but miserly friend and found him at the table endeavor leg to catch a Ely.

The grant au thorized the citizens to maintain forever two markets in Penn Squares, betweetf Fourth and Sixth streets, then called Queen and Prince,' from which circumstance some have erroneously supposed that the inhabitants of Reading are bound to occupy the Squares perpetually for market purposes. These spaces may be occupied for any other public use, though they can never be transferred to private ownership. The right to hold two an nual fairs, one on the 4th of June and the other on the 22d of October. was also confer red by the terms of the grant, and the custom was kept up with great zeal for three-quar ters of n century. The, original market sheds were square frame structures with shingled roofs, sup ported by brick columns, eighteen Inches square. They extended about two-thirds the length of the recent sheds, and are described as being remarkable for nothing excepting their extreme homliness. At the shies of the upper entrance of the Western shed were two small covered appurtenances in which the borough fire engine and buckets were kept. The stalls of the Eastern market house only were rented, these beivg appropriated to the butchers exclusively, the Western market house being occupied by farmers free of rent. From the beginning, the Clerk of the Market exercised general supervision over the mar kets and regulated weights and measures, which were adjusted according to the borough standard. The mouldy and ruinous condition of the old sheds necessitated their removal In 1840. In the latter year the late Western market house was erected, at a cost . of $3,300, the contract being taken by Eisenhower, Fink & Kramer. It was furnished with a frame cu. pola, which was provided with a bed for molly used to proclaim the formal opening of the markets. The circular Iron columns, eleven feet in length, were cast at Stanhope, New Jersey. The Eastern market house was put up in 1817, by Eisenhower & Fink, and cost $2,000. Its iron columns, ten feet long, were cast by Adam Johnston, nt the Franklin Foundry, in this city. When first constructed these Market Houses were considered highly ornamental structures, while they furnished for a long period, ample accommodations for the citizens. They however survived their usefulness ns public conveniences, and the ex igencies of increased population the past ten years necessitated the construction from time to time of temporary shedding at the extreme Eastern and Western ends, these additions being very unsightly appends:4s. The great advantages of the recently adopted private market house system over the old method, in point of ornament, convenience and utility, are all the while becoming more apparent to the people.
