————————— SS New York, Tuesday, June 8, 1847. uh BENNETT'S LETTERS FROM EURO . Panis, 15th May, 1847. The French Line of Osean Steamers—’ Ministerial Affair—The Season—American Artists. The French steamers will at length begin their trips from Havreto New York on the 31st inst. Thad a long.interview with one of the company yesterday, and have learned their general views on this important enterprise. These trips will be coutinued during the summer, every fortnight; but I suppose some change will be made in the winter months, similar to that of the Liverpool boats. The French steamers have been very such modified since they were built. Their horse wer has been increased from 450 to 600 per oat, and it is now calculated that they will cross the Atlantic as fast as the British line. The steamer which leaves Havre on the Slst, is expected:to reach New York on the 13th or 14th of June, at least. They are splendid boats, with fine accommodations. The -first boat has al- ready 60 first class passengers engaged—some second class—and at least 200 or over of third class, who are principally substantial emigrants. Some difficulty is anticipated from the recent emigrant law passed by the New York Legisla- ture—also, in reference to the tonnage duties. The French government have hitherto neglected their commercial relations with the United States, but I'trust that both the general and State governments will moderate the difficulties, and remove every stone inthe way of our commer- cial intercourse with France. We now, from this moment forward, begin a new era in our intercourse with France and the Continent, and I have rio doubt but a few years will prove the advantages to both countries to an immeasurable extent. The railroad from Paris to Havre is. now travelled in a few hours—from six to eight hours. The constant intercourse be- tween Paris and New York—the respective capi- tals of the old and new continents—may be set down at an average of 15 days. This will be allimportant in the mighty matters of fashion, taste, literature, and folly, to say nothing of poli- tics, religion, irreligion, Fourierism, trade, and finance. Since I have been in Paris, I have been making arrangements tor all those matters in which the newspaper press is concerned, and I shall com- plete them before I leave. Hereafter, the three great capitols of the civilized world will be Paris, London, New York. In these cities alone, the press is great, powerful, free, influen- tial, and leading in the van of intellect and civilization. In Paris and in London, I have studied these institutions with the greatest care and attention, and have attained, I believe, a knowledge of their rise, progress, and power, which few others have reached or taken the trouble to seek. Gold and diamonds can only be reached by digging deep in the bowels of the earth—knowledge of society and institutions can only be got in the same way—digging down into the very bowels of society and humbug. In all other respects, the new enterprise of steamers from Havre to New York will havea great and growing importance. It must enlarge and increase the mutual trade of the two coun- tries. France will probably be as much bene- fitted, if not more so, than the United States— for France, as compared to England and the United States, is only in the first stage of com- mercial enterprise and financial growth. Al- though the central house ef the great confede- racy of the Rothschilds is in Paris, yet the French, as a people and a nation, have showed far less genius for commerce than the English or the Americans. Louis Philippe and the pre- sent government, have endeavored to turn the attention of the French people towards their na- tional interests, but thus far they have princi- pally succeeded in giving a taint to the character of the Legislature—of the Government—of the Bourse—and of the higher classes generally. The fermentation has begun, and in a few years a purer state of society will come up. Apropos—the present Government is in a queer condition. A terrible opposition has been formed against Guizot. The whole effective newspaper press of Paris is now out in full cry against that great minister, save and except the Journal des Debats. Every party and faction, in the Cham- bers and out of them, have combined in this campaign—and how he will bear up against the whole, seems to be the great problem of the day. No such powerful combination has appeared against the present Government, since the Bour- bon dynasty was driven from the throne by the revolution of July. Even one of the most efficient ministerial organs, the Presse, has turned against the ministry This jouryal has a circulation of over 30,000 per day, and is con- ducted with a great deal of talent and efficiency. The charges of corruption brought against the present Government are awful. No one imputes any venality to Guizot—in fact, that amiable man is considered the only pure and honest statesman in France;, but the very system of Government—the management of the Chambers —the bribes thrown away upon the press—the mode of the elections—the distribution of nearly 900,000 places and pensions—are all beginning to come out and display their hideous features to the French people. The most ominous symptom of the present dangerous condition of things, is the terrible combination among all the leading jour- nals of Paris against the existing Government. The daily issues of the newspapers opposed to the Government, may be set down at nearly 120,000 sheets per day—those in favor of it, not probably over 15,000. These present fearful odds in such an inflammable capital as Paris We are in the midst of delicious May weather and the Chantilly races. The races are very much negleted. Indeed, the French, as I have already stated, have no taste or appreciation for horse racing. The public gardens for the sum- mer season have just opened in Paris and its vicinity, and there the French, particularly of the middle and lower classes—the centre and gauche of Parisian society—all flock on the pleasant evenings. Maville, Chateau Rouge, Grande Chaumiere, Ranelagh, &c., &c., are all now open; and music and dancing, gambling and intriguing, drinking and eating creams, seem to be the principal enjoyment of the gay Parisians of the lower and middle ranks of life. The noblesse and the finanoiers are preparing to go to the country—to the Rhine, to England, or to the devil, for the latter respectable personage receives his usual allowance every year from the fashionable world. Paris is now truly beau- tifal and delicious. The Tuillezies, the Champs Elysées, the Boulevards, all the vicinity is green, and gay, and beautiful. The ladies, in their lovely spring attire, are beginning to make their appearanee in the promenades. At this moment the theatres are dull and neglected. All the great talent of the day is in,London, or going there. The Spanish troupe give their last repre- sentation to-night, but they have not created any sensation in Paris. American travellers are coming and geing in considerable numbers. | understand Mr. Catlin has received an order from Louis Philippe to paint twenty-five large paint- ings for Versailles, from the designs he sub- mitted to him of the travels of La Salles on the i , St. Lawrence, and the great lakes of North America. These works will engage Catlin for the next year. It speaks highly for the talent of the artist. Mr. Drayton, the young | in the stomecb. into the Conseri creating considerable sensation by his powers and his talent, in the musical circles of the insti- tution. He has improved wonderfully, and bids tair to be an honor to his county ‘The Judielal Election—' City, die. The election for the choice of J v gates, District Attorneys, &¢., &c., throughout this State, took place yesterday. It was an im- portant election, but it passed off in a spiritless manner. The vote polled inthis city was very small, and, had it not been for the very pretty litele quarrel! in the whig ranks relative to the candi- dates for the office of District Attorney, the num- ber of votes cast would scarcely have exceeded those usually thrown for school commissioners; yet the election was the mos! important of any that has ever taken place in this State. The whole democratic ticket in this city and county is probably etected. Mr. White, the re- gular whig candidate for District Attorney, runs far ahead of Mr. Blunt, the irregular candidate. Mr. McKeon, the democratic candidate, how- ever, is elected to that office. We annex returns, as far as received, up to our going to press. Our readers can in- vestigate them. We make no comparative table of the number of votes cast at this election and of those cast previously for Governor or Mayor. Such a comparative statement would not be fair. The judicial vote must stand per se. The Returns. New York City. Court or Arrxats. ——— Whigs. ———- Democrats —— jel Jor. Rey. Gardi- Bron- Rug- Je-2 .

Juan de Ulia, and brought to this country in charge of the gallant Commander Sands? We do not know the intentions of the government rela- tive to the disposal of these trophies; but we would propose the idea of placing them, or apart of them, ina battery, at the naval school, Anna- polis. This school will be to the navy what West Point is to the army, and from it must spring all our future officers. It is an admirable institution, and the advantages arising from it to the service, and the country at large, will be im- measurable. New Jersey in tHe Frevp.—Twenty-three fine looking men were mustered into the service of the United States, by Captain Knowlton, of the army, on Saturday last. These are a part of Captain Nagle’s company of New Jersey volun- teers; and it is to be hoped that the whole batta- Bon of five companies will soon be raised. It will be recollected, that these volunteers are to-serve during tke war; and as a small por- tion of Mexico remains unconquered, men should hasten to enroll themselves, or they will be too late to share in. the glories of the conquest Capt, Nagle is enc.ymped at Camden, opposite Philadelphia, and has « recruiting rendezvous at Trenton.

The error must have beem generally noticed. but there is so much interest attached to this subject, at this moment, that it is particularly necessary that every statement should be eorrect. The weather continues unusually favorable for the seasdn. The prospects for abundant crops hever were more flattering, and if genial show- ers are vouchsafed to us by the Supreme Ruler of the universe, we shall be able to feed the hungry of all nations, and clothe the naked of every clime. Inevery section of the country, the fears of the farmers have given way to rejoicings; the recent rains have changed the face of nature,and every thing appears to be springing forward with the greatest rapidity, and in the most healthy state. Thousands, nay hundreds of thou- sands of acres of land have been brought into cultivation, and are now covered with luxuriant crops, which last year were un- cleared, or running to commons. This addition- al land not only promises to yield abundantly, but that previously cultivated, is, from present appearances, ina fair, way of producing more than an average harvest. We shall see next full what we can do in the way of raising breadstufls, upon an emergency. We shall be able to form some idea of what a tremendous country this is, and what an extra- ordinary people we are. We shall astonish our- selves, Sreamsure Wasutncron.—We learn that Cap- tain Davis, of the bark Jane Gano, arrived yester- day?from Liverpool, on Wednesday afternoon, between 4 und 5 o'clock, Nantucket bearing N. by W. 60 miles, saw a large steamship, with painted ports, square-rigged fore and main masts, going E. byS., 14 knots, fore and aft sails set— weather perfectly clear, wind light. If the Washington continues at this rate, over the At- lantic, she will make the passage in less than ten days. This willbe a very pleasing fact to those who have plumped her ashore at Nan- tucket. ‘Theatrical. Panx Tueatae—Itaian Orxna.—It will be per- ceived on reference to the bills of the day, that the Italian Opera Company, from Havana, seventy-threo in number, will commence an engagement of twelve nights, on to-morrow evening, at the above fashionable theatro; which occasion will be performed, for the first time in this city, the popular opera of the “Two Foscari.”” Fame speaks highly of the company, and its immense strength, together with the acknowledged talents of the performers, will draw crowded houses, nightly, to hear this highly, talented company, among whom are Sigs, Louis Batalini, Natale Perelli, and others of high q fications in their profession. The Park will be crowded to excess to-morrow evening Bowery Tueatne.—The friends and admirers of that popular actor, Mr. Addis, will be gratified to be present on the occasion of his benefit ; and on reference to the highly attractive bill which he has put forward, cannot ‘but recognise a combination of high and varied talents, who have gained so eminent a peshien upon the boards of this truly popular theatre. ‘This evening the comed, of Money’ will be revived, on which occasion Miss C. ‘Wemyss will perform the part of Clara; and Mr. De Bar, Sir Frederick Blount. Miss Louisa Wells will appear in one of her most popular dances. “A Queer Guest at a Wedding,” and “Putnam,” will also be produced.

Patmo’s Orena Hover.—The benefit of Signor Barili, the maestro of the Italian company, took place last night, and went off very well—as well as was to be expected with insufficient choruses and no music band on the stage, which was discouraging tothe playersand singers. ‘The amateurs of the first season seem to havo deserted that theatre; perhapait would bo more true to say, that they the city and gone to hear the feathered nightingales of the woods, instead of the Italians.

In the mean- time, we hope the street inspector will keep an-eye on the premises alluded to above. Tur Weatnen.—The thermometer stood yesterday as high as 84 degrees in this city. It was the hottest day of the season. Marcu oF Imrnovemest—New Buitvinas.—It is probable that never since the flash times of 1835 and 1836, has there been manifested the same spirit of ¢n- terprise,in the way of building, as at the present season. With the exception of the scene of the last great confla- gration (July 19th, 1845) the erection of buildin year was more limited than the preceding one,and those were principally in the upper or thinly populated wards of the city; whereas, during the present season, elegant and substantial stores and dwelling houses are not only going up in rapid succession in every avenue leading frow the city, as wellas cross streets, for several miles, but in the old and thickly inhabited wards, old wooden build- ings, Five Point shanties, and other rookeries, which have long been the abode of thieves, prostitutes, and other depraved characters, are daily being demolished, and giving place to handsome, three, four, and five story buildings, embracing all the improvements of the day, so far as rds their construction and internal ar- rangements, the introduction of Croton water, ke.; while numerous two, three, and even four story brick buildings, in the lower wa’ are being taken down, only to make room for others of a superior class, Opp Fetiows’ Festivat.—The festival last evening at Castle Garden, commemorative of the twenty-fourth anniversary of the R. W. Grand Lodge of tho State of New York, was one of the most imposing and interesting celebrations that ever took place in this city. Ata fair estimate there were six thousand persons present, the majority of them brothers of the r, with their wives, daughters, or sisters. The rich re ia of the brothers, and the sparkling eyes of the ladies, added much to the brilliancy of the occasion. The exercises were commenced by the celebrated cornet brass bund playing wn overture ; after which an original and beautiful ode, compored by Mr. J. Hagen, was sung by the Alleghanians. ‘The Hon. R. W. Srymovn, of Charleston, 8.

Deticacixs ov THe Season.—Mesara. John H. Broas & Co., of 72 Vesey street, are supplying their customers with “ cherries ripe,” and tomatoes to match, as well as with other vegetable delicacies from the Southern gar dens. Those who like to be ahead of the ‘Te mar- ket cannot do better than to call on Messrs. Broas & Co. at the Uniom Course. The match was won by Lady Suffolk. The backers of the mare wagered $500 against $300, that she would beat Hector; and the short time allowed the mare to prepare for the contest, led the friends of the horse to believe the chances were in his favor; and the result will show that she es. the powers of Hector were every body—owner, trainer was the quickest he ever at one hundred to was very active.— one bun- choose. je mare 8] she did in her former match with Hector, and more con- fidence was felt by her friends in her ability to bear the fatigue of the contest.

As soon ag he recovered, he was again burried to his utmost speed up the stretch; but the mare was five or six lengths ahead of him when he reached the score.

Conklin kept the mare close up with the horse, trailing to the balf mile pole, which was reached in 1:18. At this point the horse broke, and the mare went two or three lengths in front. The horse was then forced, and he caught the mare at t! jurn, and they came up the stretch, and passed the stand head to head —time, 2:38. Going ronnd the turn, Hector broke, and the mare led him three lengths to the quarter in 41 seconds. Woodruff again hurried the horse up, and he closed with the mare at the half, in 1:18. They then kept side and side allthe way round, and up the stretch, until near the stand, when the horse made another break, and the mare passed the score about thred lengths ahead of him, in 2:38— making the two miles in 6:16. As they went round the turn, up the slight ascent of the track towards the quarter, both the horses appeared to flag, Hector seeming more tired than the mare, and she beat him this quarter five or six lengths. The horse broke at this point, and again at the half—1:23; but, not- withstanding all these mishaps, he recovered, and, by being kept steady, gained gradually onthe Lady until he was close up wit ron the stretch, and it was the uni- versal opinionthat had Hector taken the outside of tho traok, instead of going so close to the fence, where yund was very soft, he would have wonthe heat.

General Scott is reported still at Ja- lapa, but ag to what he or Santa Anna, or any one else, is doing, we know not.

Every one is anxious to know what becomes of Gen. Serrano, and what H. M.'s husband will finally do, and whet John Bull intends do- ing in the premises. Yesterday there was quitea largo fire at Regla, a small town on the opposite shore of the harbor, and some eight or ten houses were burned. Had it not been for the sail- ors and engineers from the French men of war in the | harbor, the destruction would have been tenfold greater. ‘The inhabitants would not assist in any efficient manner | and the firemen did not know how.

At the first board, to- day, the sales were large. Long Island went up \ per cent, Harlem 3, Morris Canal \x, Farmers’ Loan 1, North American Trust \{, Penn. 6’s }4, Illinois 134, Treasury Notes }¥, Reading Bonds 34, R. Mortgage Bonds 1. Nor- wich and Worcester, and Reading Railroad ciosed at prices current on Saturday. There appears to be a spe- culative feeling in the market, strong enough to carry prices several per cent above prosent points. We see no reason why most of our railroad stocks should not ad- vanoe; some of them are really worth more than the market price, and the rapidly increasing receipts show that they are rapidly increasing in value also. The affairs of some of the railroads have, within the past few weeks, been very much improved, and there is every pro- bability of a rapid advance, The receipts of the Harlem Railroad Company on Sun- day last amounted to fourteen hundred and’thirty eight dollars, ($1438,) s sum greater than ever before received in one day,with the exception of the 4th ofJuly. The line is in active and successful operation to Croton Falls, and the receipts since the Istof June have exceeded the most extravagant estimates. . Holders of the stock of this company generally, are not aware of its real value; it is worth much more than many of them dream of. The best advice we can give them is to hold on. The Bank of Baltimore has declared a semi-annual dividend of 33g per cent, payable on the 7th inst. The Mechanics’ Bank of Baltimore has declared a semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent, payable on the 7th instant. The Merrimac Manufacturing Company divides 5 per cont for the last six months, payable on the 8th inst. ‘The Savannah Marine and Fire Insurance Bank has declared a dividend of 4 per cent., payable on the 10th instant. The Central Railroad and Banking Company has de- clared a dividend of two dollars a share on their capital stock, payable on the 16th inst.

On Friday last one was taken off, but it was found os Pgh to proceed with the other immediately, and it was thereforo deferred until next day, Saturday. in the meantime, Dr. Barton,a physician and surgeon of great reputation, arrived from the United States, via Havana, bringing with him an apparatus for the admin- istering of the new and wonderful diseovery in mredi- cine, culled the Letheon. which was used by him prior to the operation, in presence of, and assisted by Drs.
