The Herald for Europe will be issued this time in two editions, one of which will be rendy this afternoon at onedclock pre- | cisely, and the other to-morrow morning at | eleven. | We shail do this with a view of providing for | contingencies. Atthis time of the year, we are | net sure of the continuance of good weather from one hour to another. If a heavy snow storm should occur on Sunday, the mails would, proba- bly, be detained on the route until after the | steamer would have left. This would be a cause | of disappointment to many, and we issue two editions for the purpose of providing against such | an occurrence. The Herald for Europe will contain the late | important news from Mexico, as well any other that may be received up to the time it is put to press; also, the Rev. Mr. Giles’ lecture on the causes and remedies of Irish distress ; the extraordinary correspondence between Gevernor Wright and Secretary Marcy, in relation to the Calfornia ex: edition; the latest news from Wash- ington; the Congressional debates to the latest momen'; interesting correspondence; the latest reports of the American markets and ship news, snd @ variety of political, financial, and miscella- neous intelligence. An extra edition of the Herald for Europe, with half-a-dozen beautiful illustrations of Mexico, prepared on the 24th instant forthe Sarah Sands, has been printed for the Cambria. ance on each other in real life, or daily prac tice. The sect have a daily newspaper issued in Paris. They ‘also count upon a considera ble list of disciples in long hair and terrible beards, including a few ladies in shocking lank Petticoats. They have also tried some experi- ments, but there seems to be no great chance to change the social habits of France for along time tocome. Indeed the antique Catholi¢s who want to go back to the faith, practises and manners of the middle ages, have as good a prospect of ulti- mate success as the modern Fourrierites. The celebrated Capuchin friar ealled Lacordaire, has been for the last few months filling the church ot Notre Dame, on the Sundays, with enthusiasts and devotees, who crowded over each other’s heeds and heels to hear him pour forth his elo- quence, directed against the new philosophy of the present day. Religion, however, in France, and especially in Paris, is ata very lowebb. In- deed it could hardly be lower. Poor old men, and decrepit old women, with some few young girls, are the only persons to be seen in the churches new adays, unless indeed a great preacher sud- denly spring up, like Lacordaire at Notre Dame, and then the fashionable world follows him for a few weeks. Even in Geneva, the birth place of the Protestant religion, there is as much indiffer- ence to the affairs of the other world as there is in Paris. The great bulk of all classes of society in France, Italy and Germany, care little for any | species of religion. There are small circles here | and there who may be enthusiastic or supersti- tious, but even the feelings of these circles only resemble the sentiment felt by travellers towards | old buildings, old paintings, or old places, en- | shrined in antique associations. Religion isin a | state of rapid transition, leading no one can tell whither. Philosophers and litterateurs now oc- cupy the places which the priests and saints didin produces a greater outburst of wonder than did more admiration, deeper devotion, than the Madonna, or the Lady of Loretto ever did The Americans in Paris form a considerable society of theirown. There are probably about | 1600 or 2000, permanently residing here, or at son. Many of them are engaged in business, others live on their incomes, and make successful | efforts to get into certain French circles, who are partly fashionable, partly puor, partly accom- | tained the part o! plished, and partly proud. I have seen very few Americans at Guizot’s or the other ministers— some English and Rrussians go there, but the career of seme of the Amsrican fashionables heretofore in Paris has left bad impressions in these and other quarters. I have heard a great many curious anecdotes of the Americans here- tofore living here, and their laughable servility to the eld and beggary noblesse of France, in order to get up a fashionable reputation. There is a large portion of the English society here just as ridiculous and absurd.

We have seen the ‘ociety and the fashions of Paris from the highest | to the lowest condition of life—from the gorgeous | salons of the palace, to the small noblesse who live up three or four pair of stairs. The highest di- | plomatic and official society here is muck more | diversified than that in England, and resembles in some of its phases the condition of affairs in the United States. At the soirées of the palace as |- well as those of the mii sters, we find artists, | ‘itterateurs, philosophers, all mixing on equal | terms with old and new noblesse, or the diploma | tie bedy. | Thave seen a great deal of the French—their | manners—their mode of living—their peculiar aracter, and their peculiar passions. They are not ihe French of former days—they are not the historical French. With a great many amiable traits suited for society, there are frequent traces of manner, though polite or well bred, yet are any thing but benevolent and generous. Then again the modern French noblesse are the funniest ever seen. I have had pointed out to me a distin- guished French marquis, a member of the old noblesse, who lives on $200 a year, up four pair of stairs, in alittle bed room, and regularly polishes | his own boots to save expense—and yet this noble | personage frequently appears in the fashionable salons, the admired of all the ladies.

Catlin also intends to return to the United States next year. The News from Mexico. We published news from Mexico yestesday that threw a partial gloom over the city.
