Bpeetal Correspondence of The Tridune, PaARts, Msy 1—near midnight,—Who that be %etd the smokiog ralos of her palaces and museums, seven yesrs ago, would thea have flarcd to dream that this beautiful city would sver ses such a day as the one now speeding joyously to Its close, What s the fable of the heentx beside the true story we can all tell our thildren of this Parls, who laughs at dlsaster, wod, seven short yoars after n crushing misfor- lune, rises from the ashes of her prosperity brighter, richer, moro lovely aud lovable than wer! I am not French, but for ona night I rould almost wish to be. I have seen sights to- asy and to-night which would justify more than the apnlication of Victor Hugo's proud name to Paris: tho City of Light, as he calls her. The third and greateat of French Exhlbitlons has been opened, and France bas nobly fulfilled her sogagements with the world, WE HAVE DERN LIVING IN A PEVER for the last threa days. There was so much to bo done, even on Sunday, that many feared tno Exhibition might, at tho Jast moment, not bo ready for to-day's ceremony. Yesterday I ‘was in the Palace of the Champ de Mars, Thirty thuusand men were working liko galley-slaves; yeot the front of tho bullding was still unfinfsh- ed, tho scaffolding was not all removed, and the British snd Indlan sections—with the Chincso and Japanese, tho most advanced of any—had much to be done to them still. In the Australian courts I ran up against tho Princeof Wales, going a final round of fuspec- tion with Mr. Cunlife Owen and the British Commission. A few steps far- ther on met a London oddity, growling out curses ‘‘not Joud, but deep,” ot the Royal visitor, whoso presence hindered the workmen from tinishing the Cheapside show of clocks and watches, A rare aod curlous old fellow s this City Knight and Aldermen, (f more pressing matters did wot call for me, { should enjoy telling you a tale of himscif and his opinlons, na I had thom ot first hand overa capital bottle of Medoc. o Is as orlainal as ho 1s vain, and not more vain than cnterprising,— which {s saylog s good deal both for his vanity and his enterprise. He is an advanced Radical sod Free-Thinker, ot tho Erncst-Renan and Joseph-Arch schools, The Royal family hio pro- fesses to hold fo especial abhorrenco, but that bas not prevented him from acceptiog a title, snd, a8 [ well remomber, it dld not prevent him from paying tho most obscquious court to tho Queen and the Princo on tho memorabla after- noon thoy rode together in stato to 8t. Paul’sto give tbanks for the Prince’s rccovery, some years back, This by tho way. At the Indian court, tho Fronch workmon al- most COMPTOMISED TOE SUCCESS i of the undertaking by a sudden strike. How the difficulty was eventually surmounted, I don't Enow; but it ovidently was surmounted, for to-day no sectlon was moro complete, or drew Inrger crowds of admirers. Then, agaln, In the gardens nll was yosterday in confusion; hesps of gravel walting for the garaencra to lay 1t down In tho paths and avenues of the Champ de Mars; flower-beds innocent of flowers, grasse l)lnlu in cmbryo rolled up in verdant bundles, iko great natural carpota: and, above all, mud aud water evcrywhcxe,—thn legacles of a tor- rific storm which burst over the Palace in the afternoon, dolng much damage. ‘L'his morning, when I arrived at the Porte Desalx, armed with my card of invitation, all hsd been set {n order sa if by cochantment; and if, a8 was unfortu- nately the case, the Interior of the Exhibition was far from ready, the shell of the muhtly structure was entircly finished. As plcked my way slowly through the deserted walk stretching from tho Champ do Mars to tho terrace In front of the Mam Duilding,I noticed frequent traces of the night's labars,~empty boxes hurriedly thrust onone side, hall-buili chalets, and dismat-looking for- cign anuoxes, fllled with machinery nud lumber of all sorts. But this ceased as one reached the front approaches of the terrace. As carly as 13 o'clock most of the guests apeclally invited and tho exhibitors wera fu the places “to which tho articular color of thelr cards entitled thetn. happily found a corner ncar the main en- trance of the palaco, on the broad ftalian ter- race overlooking the grounds snd facing the slver, Then Itook a look at the spectacle be- fore mo. A wondrous spectacle, fudeed. On tho other side of the river, you beheld a tremendous white stone palace, scated graudly on the summit of & hill,— TUE TROCADERO, The centre of tho bullding had tho shapo of an jmmense round pavillon, lanked h{ two smaller, square pavilions. ‘This wns the 8alls des Fetes, —tho great architectural glory of the Exhibi- tlon. On each side rosan lofty tower, termle nated by an Orieutal crown. ‘Tness towers are nearly $501cet in hirht, and command the whole country for many miles around. From the central structure extended two galleries, each haoving the form of a quadrant, and curved towards the Champ do Murs; so that the wholo Palaco of the Trocadero maoy be roughly sald to havoe the shape of a_gigautic semicircle, broken in tho middle by tho Salle des Fotes and the towers, The end of cach gallery, -L:-lu, 1) forined by o handsome square pufllou. Tho uniformity of the scinicircular sweop is further interrupted here and there Ly minor architoct ural ornaments, which saves it from becoming too monotouous. An open colonuade, show- fog s background of red wall, runs round cach wing. The front of the Sallo des Fetes snows a succession of lofty arches, tho Yues of which are cut midway horlzontally b an npcufnllcry. above which riss two other gal- lerics. 1u the'middle, close to the level of the ground, is & wide arch. From upier It projects 3 massive plece of wasonry. Tho top of the arch {s dark and mysterious. This ts the hcad [} TN ORAND OASCA Below you sce a successfon of descending steps, ended by a wide bassin, as {n the celebrated case tade at Bt, Cloud, which that on the Trocadero much resembles. Al round tho cascado were Efldea (dui‘zlldcd 1) groupsof aunlmals—an ele- haot, u rhinoceros, a horse, snd a bull,—em- lematicof strengthi above these, on a terrace, nx pleces of pture, representing Europe, Asta, North and South America, Africa, au Qceanfea. ‘Tho lpfi between me and the Trocadero, as I etoud ob the terrace of the Champ do Mars, was tllled by the two gardens (or parks, as tuey have beco rither pretentiously termed), aud by the Pont @' Jens, which has been widened by wddi- tlonal fronwork projecting from the sides of thu bridge, boarded over 60 as to afford a spaclous ann:t!tlufi‘unk between the Trocadero aud the AMaln Building, 'The céntre of the cupied by loog grass-plai with broad gravel-walks . The two winiature lakes In the Champ de Mars Jooked channiog 1o thelr frame of verdure, and con- trasted with the more artlficlal attractions of a bundred graceful chalets which studded the grounds. Far asthe cyo could see, the paths were lined by the troops of thu Paris garrisun,— all clean and tidy for tho occasion, as you may imagige. The stacked Layauets giittered bright- 1y in the sup,—adding unother beauty to the p‘“"fif' which was cowpleted by the thousasuds of -dressed spectators in the gardens and on races and tho gallerles of the Cluwp do Mary and the distant Trocadero. Every oue ‘was lo the best of good-bumors. THE ONLY TOUCH OF GLOGM was fu tho hicavens, where beavy, dark-blue thunder-clouds begen to gather towurds 1 o'clock, lbxuteniulilmany & daloty toilette with sulu. The Legitimlsts profeased to truce Diving displeasure with the Republic in the sullen mood of the elemeots; but by far the greates ast of tho crowd refused to trace guythiog ol o sort.

Suddenly there came a rumbling of thunder mul a pattering of raln, which Pt qulckly changed to a torrent; in n moment the whole park was covered oy a black throng of fugitives. Some rnshed for snelter to the near- csL cafes awd restaurants; others invaded the terrace In deflance of administrative connte aizns and Instructions. The soliliers themselves, after gallantly bearing the deluwe for a minate, broke line like the rest, and fed Iznominfonsly to the palace. In the twiukling of an eye the gardens were desolate. While the rain Insted, those who were under cover contrived to get a deal of PUILOSOPHIC ASUSESIENT out of the misfortunc of thelr less happy fel- low-creatures.

DBut even the suflerers took their bad Juck In good wart, and tried to make Hent of 1t. The storin did not last long. ‘There came one trememdous thunderclan, witty bystander exelnimed : "“There's God’s artillery saluting the Exhibl- tion!” The Bonapartist thought it sounded mare l1ke a malediction, For my part, I tncline to belleve the elements arc utterly indifferant to exhibitfons. The clouds swept away as ra Ity a8 they had gathered, ana, before 3 o’clock, ~—the hour set for the olpenlnc.—lbu scenc was as bright and wonderful as aver, A 2a number of brilllantly-attired officers and gentlemen, whom, gazing with the eyes of faith, we recognized o8 Marshal MacMahon and the Princely visitors now staying in Darls, cn- tered a handsome marquee of red satin and gold, prepared for thelr reception, on the ter- race above the Trocadero Cascade. The drums and clarions of the troops Instantly sounded sbiarp and clear. The French hiave an untraus. latabite name for the g MUBICAL MILITARY SALUTH used Indifferently at all public ceremonies, whether they be funerals or festivals, They call it ** battant nux champs.”, Then came a slight pause, which wo knew was being utilized by the President for declaring the Exhibition oven. A dull eound of cannon fell on the ear, borne to us from_tne neighboring Hospital of the Invallds, Otber cannon responded, and suddenly the arch at the Cn!cflde-‘)cnd nlrcady ‘mentioned, was scen to bo covered with o rushing sheet, dashiug and sgluhlnz over the masonry on to tho first stone step, thirty feet below, At the same time tne Trocadero fountains bogan to play; the drums rolled, the clarions rang out shrilly, and flags were holsted at the flagstafls ontho two palaces. Tho ceremony had begun. Prescotly a glitter- Ing procession was observed coming toward us from ncross tho river. At the front marched a number of black-robed ustiers, Behind, Murshal MacMahon, in tho uniform of a Ueneral of 1{- visjon,—having,on his right and left, Don Fran- cis of Assis, the titular King of Bpnin; the Princo of Wales, in tho scariet uniform of au Fuglish Goneral; the Duke d’Aostas the Princes of Denmark, Holland, and Leuchten- berg, tho forelgn Ambassadors and military attaches, aud o inultitude of geotlemon o pri- vate dress, whom we knew to be Seoators and Deputies of France. All wero on foor. As they passed, thoe soldlers saluted, and the bands In évery part of the garden played A NRW NATIONAL MARCH, composed oxpiressly for the occasion by Chartes Gounod, entitled ** Vive la France!" "1t was a Eour cnough substitute for the *‘Marselllnisos" ut the natne excused many wnnsical sius and weaknesscs. As the processlon ascended the steps of our tereace, a mignty shout of * Vive la. Republique!? arosc, Tue Marshal and his suite haited for a few minutes under the contral pavilion of the palace, to recelvs the cungratu- fatlons of the Minlster of Agriculturs and Com- meree, M.

Outside tho magniticent Spanish crectlon—nn {mitation of a fragnent of the Alnambra—a halt was catled for refreshments, which wero sorved, apropos, by several remarkably-pretty senorus and senorftas. At the Austro-tun- arisn scction the processton stapped agaln, while it was acrenaded by a number of Hun- garlan minstrels; after whicn It left the forelgn alde of the Exhibition, and entered tho French courts, Tho recoption grew warmer and more cothusiastic. Political quarrels scomncd buried forever as one listencd to the shouts of * Vive la Republiquel” “Vive la Marechall” The triwnpl of the Republic was the J;ren thought overlnying all others in the tinda of most of the spectators; but {a the acclamations of the crowd thero was no trace of hostility to tho TPrestdent who liad eo lately led the abhorred party of the 16th of May,—nothing that could wound the sonsitivencas of the man who had Juat loyally pruclatmed himeell the servant of the French people, **In tho name of the Re- publie, I declare the Exhibition of 1578 open!” bad been the words of the President, Now in- deedgwe may hope that a NEW ERA OF PEACEPUL PROGRE3S has been fuaugurated in France. Alos! would that the same conld be sald of Europe and the world; but who daro say sod Arc not the rivul armfcs still facs to foce at Constantinopled Is not another war preparing, to which tho last will seewn inaignliicant ! As soon as tho cortego left the palace, the ales wero thrown nsu.-n ta tho genornl public, 'he bullding quickly swarined with visitors, who appearea equally astonished aud dellghted, though {t must he confessed they found m.st of tho exbilbitions torribly untiulshed. Thuuks to tho unpraclous hesitations of Congress, the United Btates sectlon was unhappily far from being as ready as it mlfln. have been had Gen, MeCormick aud Mr, Pettit been allowed tho samo time asother nattons, Outho othier baud, the DBritsh, Australiun, Indlac, Japaucse, and Chineso sections were, to all intents and pur podes, *ready,—aye, ready!” It was to them that the cager crowd natarally bent its steps in preterence to visiting the “dreary courts of France, Holland, Austria, or, alas! of Awmeriea, A great deal more must bedons for the comtort of the public before the iuternal arrangements af the palace can be considered satisfactory, ‘Throughout the whols hullaing there was mot o chair or a beneh for you to rest your weiry llnbs upon,—not a bar or restaurant, except thoso fn the iardens, and one miserable brasserie hastily fmprovised at the corner ol the Foreign-Ma- chinery Unllery, Of course, the whole retresh- ment-urrangement, LRGKE DOWN AT TUE VERY FIRST TEST, You could not wet served at Duval’s or the lirnsseriy de Ia Patris for love or money.

At the maunificent tiotel of the *Credit Lyontuls is a glzautle flery l»yrnmm; and next door, at Rlmmel's, they are hurning green and blue Bengal lights quite re- garilless of exvense. All_the theatres, all the ciles and hotels, are resplendent. The Rue de Rivoll is bright asday. Electrle lights and trophles mark the spot where stand the Maga- eins and Iotel du Louvre. A strange crown of fire elcams hizh in mid-air from the tnr of the Tour 8t, Jacques; amd, close by, the glareof a hundred gas-jets restores thelr natural huea to the clusteriog groups of chestnuts fn the Place du Chatclet. But, of all these thousand wonders, give me THR BRAUTIECL 8ionT presented by the Beine where it_runs below the arches of the old Pout-Neul. Turn your back in fancy upon the fuinenss white walls of the Belle Jardiniere, which are ablaze with light and gaudy with many-tinted banners, and, bending over the uuaintly-sculptured parapet of the bridge, follow the broml aweep of tho river to the vast front of the Conclergerie, with its his- toric protusfon of pleturesque tawers and ga- bles.

And see how fitly its modern neighbors on the ather slde uf the Boulevard du Falals—tho Tribunal de Commerco—has been enlivened by the beaded lues of gas, demanded by its uew and commonplace architecture, They mark tho graceful outlines of the Pont 8t Michel, and sco how tho deep shadows of the Conciergerio inincle on the bosom of the stream with the broad bands of reflected lizht from the Trlbunul de Cowmerce. Inall thls, what in- finite taste and harmony,—whether designed or undesizned, I know unot,—though 1 belleve de- signed], for, on reachin, tho tront of the Palace of Justice, which may be sald to form part and varcel of the Conclergerle, you find the great vourt-vard, with iis noble stcps and gatewar, vylogin_brilllancy with the more vulgar Tri unal, The clcfiaul wllded plunactes and epires of the sainte Chapeile, as thoy start intoboauty under the unusual filumination, aro in_them- selves alone worth morg than my long walk.
