(From Bell’s Life in London, Aug. 23 } Sinee the arrival of Mr. Morphy, the young American Philidor, in England, he has play: constgntly with all who have dared to present theuifelves, and his career so far has. been one of unmixed triumph. The skeptics who turned up their noses at the very idea of a boy of 20 being a first-rate, are now muttering in hated tones about “ ? to the “usual rale,”” 4&c. We candidly own, we eonsider Mr. Mor- phy phenomenon. and are delighted to hail in him certainly the finest player since Mc- Donnell and La Bourdonnais. Results iu chess speak for themselves; and great talent is not to be written down, nor inferior talent written up, save for aseason. Mr. Morphy has favored us with the exact score of all the games he has played since he came to the ofd country, not thinking it worth while to include a number of ames played giving the large odds of rook or fright! allof which he has won. Beginning with Herr Lowanthal—while we write the match is not over, but Morphy has but one more party to win. They have played twelve games, of which Morphy scores eight, draws vne, and loses three. With Mr. Barnes, of the St. George's Club, Morphy has played 26 games, winning nineteen and losing seven. With Mr. Boaden he played nine games, winning five, losing one and draw- ing three. Of twelve games connected with Mr. Bird, Morphy. gai en, drawing one and losing one. ith Mr. Hampton the American has played and won two games; and of six played with the veteran, Herr Lowe, the Amer- jeag won six! With the Rev. Mr. Owen, Mor- phy played five games,winning four and losi one, and then, giving pawn and move for @ match of fire games,won all five, drew two, and Jost one’ It was agreed that if Morphy beat Mr Owen at pawn and move, he was to play a — match at pawn and two moves, which we shall doubtless, therefore, hear of in due course, Morphy being remarkably given to out all bis unde: i He has hardly t found time to play with the leading mem- rs of the Lon Club, but we anticipate some battling yet with their most promis- ing er, Mr. Medley, destined, we delfeve, to go very far on the chess road to fame. We are glad to say Mr. ow is in excel- jent health and spirits, certainly stouter im form than when he landed on our shores, and much pleased with the kind reception he has met with generally. A few words, now, on the prospect of a match between Morphy and Mr. Staunton, respecting which note that we strietly aim gt fact, not comment. Mr. Morphy has thrige challenged Mr. Staunton, and the re- ceipt of his cartel has been thrice courteously acknowledged. The first challenge was in — in an American chess monthly, from the New Orleans Chess Club, inviting Mr. Staun- ton to come out and play on his own terms, for any stake ap to $5,000 a side. Mr. Staunton’s reply indicated a great desire to play Morphy, but a refusal to come so far; and for this he could not be blamed. Morphy crossed the sea, and repeated his er a for the second time, rive voce, receivin, answer a polite renewal of Mr. Staunton’s wish to play, but a desire to have a “few weeks’ preliminary practice, study of 7 ings, &e. r. Morphy ‘assent, as he does to almost everything; but the few weeks, and a few more, passing without the day being fixed. the initiative here i. thrown upon Mr. Staunton, Mor- phy sent his third challenge, in writing, and received a written reply this week. But, un- fortunately, this written reply is merely an echo of the old ‘delighted to play,” and the rest of it; no day, or even month, fixed for the encounter. Morphy, perhaps, hardly feels it delicate to send a fourth cartel, but we think his straight- way course would be to do so, simply saying, ‘- Will you kindly name the day, or do you de- cline accepting my challenge? Mr. Morphy leaves all conditions to Mr Staunton, and wiil Play for any stake, from £100 to £500 on each sii 7 A gathering of ehess-players takes place at Birmingham on Tuesday next, at which Messrs. Morpby and Staunton will be present. Unless the day and hour for beginning the match are then fixed, the whole is smoke, and the chess cirele must draw their own conclusions Mor- phy stands, in relation meanwhile to Staunton, something like our gallant Broke did in the Shannon of » when he sent his well known cartel to the American Captain of the Chesapeake: “Your flag requires a victory such as you would gain in taking my ship to give it the position in the eyes of nations you pretend to take up. [ean remain here but eight-and-forty hours longer, wanting as I do, provisions and water. So do me the honor to come out at once and fight if you mean it.” It must always be remembered that Morphy is here merely as a traveler, and therefore cannot afford to wait for an adversary till the days of grace 1860. Tf Mr. Staunton declines his chal- lenge, Mr. uae will probably run over to Paris to play Harwits, and from on to Germany to Andersson. Pants Fasmions.—A Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia Gazette, writing on the 16th of August, says: I never remember to have seen greater ex- travagance or more eccentricity in toilette than — bat few months. At the seaside, and the various other watering-places of the continent, the whole attire of the ladies is not that of sensible women o° the nineteenth een- tary, but gives the idea of the fantastic crea- tions of wild girls of sixteen on a frolic. The hats are so various and so grotesque, the skirts so voluminous, the trimmings and farbelows so profuse, that the eye is now more often offended than gratified by the productions of Earopean milliners and mantaamakers. For September bonnets our milliners are preparing Belgian straws, trimmed with a bow of Same straw, mixed with wheat ears and [rein placed at the side, and # ponceau rib- m acres the forehead, ending on one side in a P T rosette, and on the other in a smali banch of wheat ears and Black bows of taffeta or velvet trim the bonnet ; sometimes the taffeta is as a scarf across the bonnet, and is with lace. The strings and flowers should be of t colors, , for the autumn, is general! decorated with rich dark fancy ribbons, with autamn fruits. “Por the coot mornings snd evenings of August and September, the light clear burnous is worn; we-see them of brown, gray, striped, black and white, Seoteb plaid, cross-barred flannel. The has a tas sel. All robes of pique are made with & cas: sock of the same. thus obviating the necessity of any additional trapping for the street. The black silk burnous, trimmed with a wide ruche of the same silk, is a very favorite garment; it effectually conceals eden and is,therefore, usefel to wear over a mourning peignoise. Blowers and velvet bows are the evening coif- fures; the flowers are principally arranged in wreaths, sometimes quite, but generally fuller behind them in front. The flowers most used are witd roses; datstes of various colors, white and red azaleas, ivy, or bollyhock, acacia, apd water-lilies.

SALUTATIONS AMONG DIFFERENT NA- i TIONS. [Translated from the Freneh.} ‘The ex, used, as salutations different nations have, under their common as- pect, something characteristic and interesting, even for the most casual observer. In the East the ex Savor, in a more or less degree of the Scriptures, and of the se- rene and patriarchial sentiments of the inhab- itants. One recognizes the immobility of these agtoral and warfike people, standing aloof Bom all human Nearly all have a foundation in religious sentiments, and Peace to those'to whom they are - The salutation used by the Arab, “ Salem,” or “Shalum,”’ means peace, and is foand in the word Jerusalem. The Arab salutes his friend thus: “May God grant you a happy morning ;'? ‘*May God grant you his favors ;*” “ If God wilis it, you are well:’’ This Inst ex- pression betrays their fanaticism. Turks have a formals which can only be used in a sunny clime—‘ May your shadows never be less.” Ap —— would never think of wishing a fine shadow. The climate of Egypt is feverous, and ——_ ration is necessary to health ; hence the pt: ian meeting you, asks “How do you perepire i” ‘Have you eaten?” ‘Is your stomach in good order ?”’ asks the Chinaman—a touching solicitude, which can only be appreciated bya nation of gourmands. *Good cheer,’ says the modern Greek in nearly the same lan; that the ancients wére wont to t their friends. A charmin; salutation, which could only have originated among the happy, careless Greeks. ‘The Komans, who were heretofore robust, in- defatigable and laborious, had energetic salu- tations, expressing force and action: “ Salve,” * Be strong,”” “ healthy ;’’ and “Guida- “What do you do?”’ or “What make vis. yu? The Genoese of modern times says, ‘‘ Health aod wealth,” which is very appropriate for an active and commercial le. ' The Nespolitan devoutly says, “Grow in sanctity’ and the Piédmontese, ‘I am your servant.’ The ‘“« How stand you ?’’ of almost all Italy, forcibly indicates the nonchalance of that sunny land. The Spaniard, grave, haughty and indiffer- eat, wishes you * Good morning,” to which we ‘respond, ‘‘At your service, sir.’ Another salu- tation which the Spaniard uses, ‘God be with you, signer,” shows a melange of respect for one’s self and religious sentiment. The ordinary salutation of the German is, “Wie Gehts?”’—* How goes it?’’ and hasa vagueness partaking somewhat of the dreamy character or German. To bid one adieu, he says, “‘ Leben sie wohl’’—* Live quiet and be happy.”’ This last plainly indicates his peace- fyl nature and love for the simple joys of life. The traveling Hollander asks you, “‘ Hoe waart’sge?’”’—“‘How do you go?’’ The thought- ful, active Swede, demands, ‘Of what do you tink ?’* whilst the Dane, more placid, uses the German expression, “Liv vel,’ “Live well.”’ But the greeting of the Pole is best of all—‘ Are you ha ? The English have the “Good bye,” a corrup- tion of *‘ Good be with you,” and some others; but that which best exhibits the character of the English is ‘How do you do?” as the ac- tivity of the people is shown in this demand where the do is spoken twice. Nothing is more characteristic, more lively, or more stir- ring than this. The **Comment vouz portez vouz’’ of the Frenchman is equally characteristic. The Frenchman is more active than laborious— more ardent, more passionate, than thought- ful; and hence the principle with him is not to do, but to go—to be lively, to show himself. There is something in this expression, ‘“ Com- ment vouz portez vouz’?’’ ‘How do you car yourself ?’’—whieh bespeaks at once his fra’ manner and pleasant face. lS SS 7 Tus Popvtatios or Parts.—Of the 385.242 families resident in Paris, 219,000 oceupy dwellings of which the annual rent is not higher than six ) signer 114,000 families oc- Gupy dwellings of a rent between six and six- teen pounds, 12,000 a rent of sixteen to twenty ounds. The remainder of the population, sa; 0,000 families, pay a rent higher than £ Per annum; and there are only 5,802 families paying more than £96. * *® * * The number of inhabitants who are indigent or temporarily necessitous cannot be much under 400,000 individuals. Accor to an inquiry, instituted by the Chamber of Commerce in 1847, there were in Paris 342,540 owvriers of both sexes. In a riod of thirty-five years from 1817 the popu- ation of Paris bas increased by 339,296 souls, or 47 per cent. According to the census of 1831, the population is classed as follows : Me- chanies, 45 per cent., including both sexes; in receipt of salaries, 22 per cent.; liberal profes- sions, 16 per cent.; military, 10 per cent.; com- mercial 9 percent. The 1,000,000 inhabitants who reside in Paris consume the tenth part of the entire productions of France. A Parisian eats annually as much meat as six inhabitants of some of the provinees. Paris draws its immense stock of ordinary provisions from sixty of our departments and three foreign countries. It devours nearly all the fish that is eaught on our coasts, and sends for its as far as Germany. The revenues of the Parisian population, valued at £30,000,- 000, is drawn principally from the three fol- lowing sources: The industry and commerce of Paris produces annually about £40,000,000; the civil list and State functionaries of all kinds spend an’ ag) Hr Paris about £20,000,- 000; the remai £20,000,000 is received from the floatin, population of strangers, number- a Say B00. rom these general indications there results this uence, that Paris centralization is not only political, intellectual, artistic, &¢., but economic in a very high degree.

The col- umns of Persepolis are mouldering into dust; bat its cisterns and aqueducts remain to chal- lenge our admiration. The house of Nero is a mass of ruins; but the Aquis Claudia still pours into Rome its limpid stream. The Tectle at the on at Tadmor in the wilderness, has fallen; but its fountains sparkle as freshly in his rays, as when thowsaads of worshippers thron; its lofty colonades. It may be that Loudon will share the fate of Babylon, and nothing be left to mark its site save mounds of cram brick-work.
