Amongthe many thiags which have attracted my attention since I have been in Paris, I may name the history aad position of the newspaper press, its editors, contributors, and writers. I have already given some slight sketches of the Parisian daily press, but 1 have learnt much more peu rstusion of July had a great influence on the press of Paris. Previous to that event, the press was subject to the influence and re- strietions of the elder Bourbons. The principal movement of that day, which led to the revolu- tion, wasa fierce and bitter war on the Jesuits, who had attempted to establish themselves again in France. This was extremely populaa, and was principally conducted by the Constitutionnel. The circulation of the daily press in those days was very limited compared to what it is now— probably not over an agregate of 30,000 per day. After the revolution of July, the press took a tre- mendous bound upwards, downwards, and every way. Numerous journals were started, the most of them the mere organs of factions of all kinds— resembling? very much the flood of new papers which generally appear in the United States pre- vious to a Presidential election. This gave rise to a great deal of licentiousness, venality, and abuse of public and private character. A law was then passed, placing many and severe re- strictions on the press, both affecting its man- agement and the power of establishing new jour- nals. By this law in particular, the newspapers were forbid, under very severe penalties, from alluding in any way disrespectfully to the King or any member of the Orleans dynasty. Under these and other restrictions, the Pari- sian press has acquired a very large circulation, much theoretical ability and decorum, but it is without originality, spirit, or real newspaper en- terprise. One singular and remarkable fact I have discovered in ita progress—and that is a movement almost similar to that which took place in the newspaper press of New York during the last twelve years. Formerly the newspaper’ df Paris were published at about 80 francs a year, or $16. About eleven years ago, a little later than when the same thing took place in New York, some enterprising persons formed the idea of attempting a similar thing in Paris. The Sidcle was the first journal started on this cheap plan about eleven years ago, at 40 francs a year. lt took the ground of opposition tothe ministry; as every popular journal in London and Paris must, to some extent, be an opposition journal. In giving the news of the day, with long editorial Jeaders, called in the Parisian patois, the Pre- mier Paris, the new cheap paper also gave a Feuilleton in chapters, continued every day, which was generally a new novel, or sometimes sketches of travels. The success and circula- tion. of this enterprize soon brought others into the field. Ina few months the Presse was start- ed, by a literary man called Emile de Girardin, who is said to be an enfant trouvé, and, like Mel- chieedeck, is without father or mother, brother orsister. This gentleman has remarkable ta- lent, energy, business powers—is now a member of the Chamber of Deputies, and gave the Presse adirection somewhat similar to that of the Times in London—sometimes for, sometimes against the minister of the day. The Roman Feuilleton, or romance sheet, was algo added to this paper, and in a short time its circulation rosegrapidly. Like the Sidcle it was sold for half the price of the old established papers, that isto say at about 40 frances or $8 a year. ‘The success of these papers soon produced a great change, almost a revolution in the journal- ism of Paris—similar to that which the Herald and other cheap papers have produced in New York—and also very like the process now going on in London, begun by the Daily News, which has already a much larger circulation than the London Times, and will soon consign to oblivion some of the old daily papers of that metropolis. ‘The old and leading journals of Paris, such as the Debats, Constitutionnel, the National, were awfully cut down in their circulation by the new and cheaper presses. Thinking, however, that the roman feuilleton was the principal feature which had caused the success of the Presse, Sidele, and others, a new movement was made, which consisted in offering prodigi- ous sums of money to the popular novel- ists of the day, to write for them in that special department of their journals. Under this mistaken idea—for I believe it will turn out to be a misiake—Dumas, Sue, Balrac, Sands, and many others have been principally engaged in writing for the feuilletons of the daily press for several years past. At one time, the Constitu- tionnel, which had, in 1840, sunk to a circulation of 10,000 or lesg, has recovered a little, and may be now about 18,000 er 20,000. The Debats, how- ever, has never recovered its circulation, whieh is now about 8,000, principally distributed among officiais and politicians. Onthe other hand, the Presse has over 80,000 per day, and the Sidcle about the same. The managers of these journals, however, are just discovering that the feuilleton, or large sums paid jo novel writers, are not the principal cause of their success; but that itis a combination ot cheapness, independence, good sense, and industry, just the same elements which have produced the success of the modern journalism of New York, and which is now in the first stage of its revolutionary progress in London. ‘The press of Paris has many admirable fea- tures which might be adopted into New York, but in its mechanical and business arrangements, itis very far behind usin the United States, Only think of the Sidele, a journal of large capital and large income, almost equal to that of the New York Herald, being worked off each day on presses that throw off 2,500 sheets per hour. In conse- quence of this want of mechanical enterprize, the whole journal has to be set up in types twice over eachday. The Presse is the only Parisian iournal that seems to be managed with any de- gree of enterprise and superior business intel- i] and even thatis poor. Its engine works off about 5,000 per hour, but it will hardly be be- lieved in Paris, that Mr. Hoe, a New York me- chanician, can furnish engines to work off 12,000 copies per hour, in many other important arrangements, the Parisian press is far inferior to that of New York, aud much more soto that of London, for it must be admitted yet, that the London press, as # great engine of mind and enterprize, is in the van of the civilized world, although the New York press has decidedly the largest daily cireu- Jation—the Paris journals have the next largest— and the London follow after at present, but ina few years, under the cheap revolution begun by the Daily News, will be among the first and fore most. Again, the Parisian press, during the present remarkable regime, introduced by the shrewd- ness of Louis Philippe, has very little political influence on the Chambers or the Government At this moment, almost every efficient daily journal of Paris is against the present goveri- ment, except the Journal des Debate, which has only acirculation of 8,000, while the oppesite have probably nearly 100,000 per day, yet it pro- duces no effect on the majorities in the Chambers. This singular fact arises from the extensive pa- tronage in the hands of the government, by which they influence, regulate, and rule the Chambers. But if the Parisian press has little influence in politics, it is mighty in society, in fashion, among the theatres, and on the bourse. All the leading journalists are the leaders in society, in fashion, at the theatre, and great speculators on the bourse. During the last winter, Girardin, the editor of the Presse, was blowing up Lord Normanby and defending Guizot, and also ap- peared on almostevery evening at the soirées of the latter. He was pointed out to me on one of these occasions. Madame de Girardin, who writes frequently the feuilleton, for her husband’s paper, and wellknown as a writer, under the name of Delphine Gay, used, at the same time, to be praising the British minister, and visiting the embassy on all the nights of the soirées, with the rank and fashion of Paris. T have the materials to give a long and curious history of the Parisian press, in all its details, extending to many columns, but I have only time to give short and brief sketches of its general features, in addition to what I have formerly written. The leading journals of Paris, and of France, are only five or six, those [ have already named, but there are journals of every shade of opinion, with circulations from 200 per week to 1500 or 2000 perday. In Paris the number of all kinds is nearly 30—in the departments the num- ber is over 300 of all kinds. The great majority of them are political, and favorable to the present dynasty. To establish anew journal any where, requires the consent of the government, and the deposit of a large sum of money, as a guarantee for the payment of fines that may be inflicted by judgments on its violations of law. This creates a great difficulty in the establishment of new journals out of the city of Paris—and even in Paris the difficulties are great. During the last ten years a vast number of new journals have been attempted in Paris, many of them by the members of the cabinet, yet the most of them fell through for want of patronage. The lively community of Paris will not read or patronize a newspaper that does not criticise their own gov- ernment with independence, or make war on England and other foreign rivals. The mere government organs have as little circulation among the people of France, as the like have in the United States, Horricuttura. Exursrrion.—While the great- er part of the citizens of New York are delving and digging from the end of one year to that of the other, insensible to every thing but the pur- suit of wealth—a few gentlemen are exerting themselves to elevate them, and direct their minds to the study and admiration ef nature’s most beautiful works. We allude to the Ameri- can Agricultural Association—a body of men who have made agriculture and its kindred sci- ences their study for a number of years past, and devoted their attention to its advance- ment. This society has been established only a short time, but its fruits can be tracéd in every nursery and flower garden in this part of the country. By offering premiums, and holding out other in- ducements to florists, nurserymen, and garden- ers, these useful and honorable classes of society have competed with each other in raising and improving the rarest and most beautiful of na- ture’s productions. Any one who recollects the nasty fruitsand vegetables which were exhtbited for sale in our market a few yearssince, can, at a glance perceive the difference between them and what are now offered forsale. The largest and best fl. vored strawberries, cucumbers, rasp- berries, cherries, &c. &c., can now be had at even a less price than was a few years ago charged for the poorest qualities. Private enter- prize has no doubt done a great deal to effect this wonderful change for the better, but a large portion of the credit is due to the Agricultural Association, and other institutions, having the same object and purpose in view as it has. The same influences which have effected these good reaults in this part of the country, areZat work all over the United States, and will no doubt ef- fect as much substantial good for the inhabit- ants, as the’agricultural societies of Scotland ef- tected for the people of that country. . We perceive that the American Agricultural Society will exhibit a collection of the best flowers, fruits, and vegetables that have been raised in this vicinity this year, at the Lyceum Building, Broadway, this day. From what we know of this society, we feel convinced that their exhibition will be well worth visiting; and we can safely say in advance, that such of our ladies as will visit it, will be highly gratified and amused. Boston, Philadelphia, and other cities, have their horticultural and agricultural societies, the effects of which are of the most favorable char- acter; and why should not the metropolis have one too, more especially as there is greater room for its exercise than either of the other places? ‘Theatricals. Bowsny TneatRe.—The grand spectacle of * Ivanhoe, or the Jew’s Daughter,” will, as weare informed, be with- drawn after to-night, so as to make room for other novel- ties, which the manager wili produce as soon as possible. ‘That piece, and the comedy of “ Peter White,” for the first time this season, and theromantic Chinere spectacle of the “ Bronze Horse, er the Spell of the Cloud King,” will all be performed this evening It into be hoped that this bill will satisfy the patrons of the Bowery, aud convince them also that the manager has an eye to their interest always. To-morrow evening, Mr. Clarke, one of our best actors, will take his benefit. On that occasion, a bill, better if possible, than any that has ever been put forth there, will be produced. Castix Ganorx.—The proprietors of this establish- ment have secured the services of some of the leading actors and actresses of this city, and they commence next Monday evening with dramatic representations such as light comedy, vaudeville, and pantomime. — Among those engaged are Miss Constantia Clarke, Miss matilda Phillips, Mre. W. Isherwood, Miss Louisa Wells and sieters, and Misa R. Wilson; Mesers, Holland, Wal- cott, Everard, Dunn, Baker, Levere, and Sharp. Leader of the orchestra, Mr. Munck. With such a galaxy of talent there can be no doubt that the (iurden will be- come very attractive, and be patronised by the must fashionabie circles. If Mesars. French and Heiser select equal talent during the season they will have reason to congratulate each other at its termination, for, notwith- standing all to the contrary, wherever sterling talent is produced there an American audience will be found.— We wish the proprietors every success, Genenat Weisn’s Crnces.—This troupe have been very successful in their tour through the Union. They performed last evening at Saratoga, and will exhibit this ening at Whitehall, New York. Rice, the celebrated keperian Clown, {s attached to this company, and is ® great favorite, In fact, they are all favorites, for the proprietor employs mone except men of the first equer- trian talent, Dan Marble, the great delineator of Yankee character, is amusing the inhabitants of Pittsburgh by his quaint representations. Mr, Leonard, the Irish actor, is at sy ede Canada. He has been playing at Hamilton and Toronto, where hae was very suceessful. Van Amburgh and his animals are to be in Kingston on the 26th and 26th inst. Mile Biangy is still at the Howard Athenmum, Boston, but her engagement is drawing towards its close, and the fair dancer will soon leave this country for Europe, where she is anxiously looked for. At Boston, as well as in this city and New Orleans, Blangy has won the warmest and most sincerest expressions of praise, Tho Ravels are to pny, an engagement at the Arch Street Theatre, Philadelphia, and afterwards at the Atheneum, Boston. Sands, Lent & Co are travelling with thelr troupe ha Massachusetts, They are at present in Spring- old. nee is either at present in the city, or hasjust left for Philadelphia, where she is to fulfil an engagement, ‘The Viennoise dancers were to open at the Boston Athenwum last evening. poh? POrNtMENT ty tHe Presinent.—Robert W, *, surveyor of the customs at Savannah, Georgia, in the place of Th Union, Jane 2 Wayne, renigned.— Washington Park Tura’ ‘The attraction of Bellini’s opera, the celebrated “Norma,” sung by Tedesoo, brought to the theatre, last evening, the greatest audience ever seen, it is said, in the walls of “Old Drury.” The first, second, and third tiers of boxes were crowded—all the private boxes full of charming ladies—and the pit contained the ouly four hundred cover the benches. The opera went off well. We had a fear, however,at the 4 was made,in which it ‘was announced that ora Raiuieri’s knee wasso much swollen that she claimed the indulgence of the public for her not act much during the . It is our por fre she never sang than last night, and, except for afew moments, she walked as well asa person not lame. Let usreturn to“Norma.” The chorus of the introductior id the solo by Oroveso, was rendered beautifully b; supernumeraries, and the bas: 40, Battaglini. Nociaspamed ae tenore, (whose first a} pearance this was.) Siguor Severi, (Pollion,) has certainly ‘a very good voice, but it, either from fear of the first audition, or by some “pPivate accident, his means were not 20 accomplished as they ought to be. Severi’s acting is certainly irreprouchable, well understood, well executed, and these are qualities which we are not ac: customed to meet with in Italians principally. We have now to mention the lg ria “ astra Diva,’ the gem of “Norma.” This is, as ly knows, the most dificult piece to sing; when a renders it with pu- ty, grace, elegance, and precision, she has at once ed her “lettre de nobles ‘Tedesco, we say it without flattery or extra laudation, reminded us of the very talented Grisi, who is the queen of the singing art. She expressed admirably the cab letta of this air, and was, after it, received with an im- mense enthusisem. The grand duo between Norma and Adal was given with ay entratn by Tedesco and Rait , and we remarked a ag epee chromatic scale,which produced a great effect. The scene in which Norma discovers the love of Pollion for Adalgisa, and threatens them with her Tevenge, was, indeed, a capital piece of acting by Tedesco: the inflexion of voice which she gave to theso words, “crema per te’? was terrific, and her low notes, full of that depth and sono- rity which are pecullar to her bewitching capacities.— If we had room and time, we should certainly praise nearly the whole opera; but we will only invite our readers to go and hear for themselves. In the trio and chorus of the last scene, Severi expressed his despair in a very good manner, and showed the audience what they may ‘expect from him this evening—we mean a real dis- play of his talent. We need not say that the month of June had sent all its roses and flowers to the Park Thea- tre, and that they were thrown at the feet of Tedesco when the play was over. Signora Rainieri, called out b; the audience, appeared (in her Ca costume), her han in Tedesco’s, and was received with great applause. To- night “ Norma” will be repeated, and no doubt the opera will be-as well attended us yesterday. Vavxna.t Ganpex.—Campbell’s Ethiopian Serenaders are attracting respectable houses to hear their represen- tations of negro character W. B. Donaldson, the tam- borine player, is full of wit and merriment, and is be- coming # favorite. Thelr solos. choruses, and refrains, are much admired. We will have them very soon in Broadway, contesting for ascendancy with the other minstrels who preceded them. Campbell says ‘' there is no such word as fail,’ and he is determined to employ all the leading negro talent he can find. Wincuey, the celebrated comic lecturer, has been playing to crowded houses at Syracuse. fied gapd that town reports his exhibition room as filled by the most respectable class, and that they separated, mined to invite their friends the next evening. Signora Pico was to give a concert at New Haven last ening, assisted by Signor Tito Nesi and Maestro Clare W, Beames, which mentioned gentleman was to pre- side at the piano. We hope she had s good house. Christy's Minstrels are still at Syracuse. Madame Fleury-Joly and M. Dubrueil, the prima don- nd baritone of the French Opera of New Orleans, bout to give concerts in this city, Boston, Philadel- Saratoga, and Newport. We are not informed of the order of their visits to these various places. are at present in this city. Hers and Sivori were to give their third and last con- curt at Masonic Hall, Nashville, on the evening of the 5th inst. Sporting Intelligences Hantem Course—Taortinc.—There was a goodly muster of the trotting fraternity, at this track yester- day, to witness the promised sport, which was mile heats, best three in five under the saddle, four entries, viz :— ‘W. Wheelan, enters b. m. Bell Ringer. 'T. Jackson, & g._ Elias Hicks. F. Jobnson, “ J.D. Memann, “ The latter named proving lame at the start, was with- drawn, and Elias Hicks became the favorite, the mare previously holding that position. First Hrat.—Elias Hicks took the lead on getting the word, and held it throughout the heat; notwith- standing that the Bell Ringer gave him as much work in the last half mile as it was possible for him to finish. Elias won by about three lengths, the mare breaking up within fifty yards of the stand, at which time they were heads and points. The Butcher Boy was distanced. Time ot the beat, 2:55, Secoxp Hrar.—An even start, ands very fine and close contest for the first half mile; after which, Elias drew away from the mare, and beat her home, The time of this heat was much better than that of the previous one, 6:4834; but it was evident that the Bell Ringer had not speed enough to beat the horse. Tuino Heat.—Elias took the lead at the start, and held it to the end of the race, the Bell Ringer never coming near him until they reached the home stretch; on making the turn of which, she came close up with him, and struggled hard but unsuccessfully for the lead tothescore. Elias won by about a length, in 2:51. This track is one of the most convenient in this neigh- horhood, being easy of access; and with a few slight im- provements, such as the removal of a few worthlexs trees, which shut out from the spectators a view of some parts of the course, a slight change in the position of the stunds, &e., &¢, it would become a great place of resort. Woodruff, it is understood, intends maiing the requisite improvements shortly, when inducements will be offered to the owners of fast nags to have the Harlem Trotting Course crowded every fine day with the admirers of this exciting sport. City Inteiligence. Tur Wratnen.—The thermometer/stood at 74 deg in Wall street yesterday M. ‘The day was agreeably warm, and must have done vast service to the growing crops and green produce in the country, after the late rains. Finxs.—A fire occurred yesterday morning at 1 o'clock in the premises No. 3 Catharine street, ocoupied by J. A. Rue as @ bonnet. clock and umbrella stere. The premises were on fire in two places. The fire was ex- tinguished with tritling damage. ‘At half-past 2 o'clock yesterday morning, another fire broke out ut No. 297 Front street. in the chemical fac- tory belonging to Truslow & Jackson. The inside of the building was destroyed The premises were a small two story building. in which soda, &c. was kept. The fire originated accidentally. ‘Tne Generar Monaax.—We, yesterday, in compan; with a select company of gentlemen, made a delightful excursion down the Lower Bay, in the fine steamer Gen. Morgan. The Gen. M. is about 190 tons burthen; was built at Washington, N.J., and for beauty of model, strength, and good taste in her fitting up, will compare favorably with with any craft yet launched; her cabins are tastefully and elegantly finished, and replete with all that conduces to comfort. She is built of Jersey oak, under the supervision of Captain E. R. Hanks, of South ‘Amboy, one of our most Coy igang and popular ket captains, to whose liberality we are indebted for our pleasant trip.

Broapway.—Perhaps at no former period has Broad- way presented so disgraceful an appearance as at pre- sent; its dilapidated condition in many parts, the depth of mud and filth through its whole extent, rendering it alinost impassable, with the exception of that part where the Russ pavement is used. Will the authorities ever wake up to the necessity of attending to this vast thoroughfare, and having it kept properly repaired? The livue pers. who now clean the crossways, make daily a trifling sam by keeping them “ fordablo” amid the pfles of mud and rubbish that are gathered in the street. An occasional “refresher” on this subject, it would appear, is actually ne to remind the city fathers of what ought to be ut they heed it not ‘The people will speuk out on this subject boldly at last.

It seems this girl formerly lived at servico with Mr. Pay tou, and shorlly after the property was stolen she Left but no clue was ascert the property, until yesterday, when ® servant girl by the name of Han- nab Lawson, who resided at No. 106 Chambers street, next door to Mr. Payton’s, saw in the possession of the accused a diamond stud, which the accused told her she found in the street; instead of which it turns out to be one of the identical studs stolen from Mr. Pay- ton. Since her arrest another stud, and « scarf, has been recovered by the officer, both of which have been iden- tified as being a portion of the stolen property. Justice Qsborne locked her up in the Tombs for # further hear- ing. "Gi rrest of a Burgler.—Offcer Curry, of the 3 ward, arrested, about one o’olock on Tuesday morning, a man by the name of Jacob Hague, who was found concealed on the premises 25 Dey street, occupied by Mr. Michael Leonard.

It appears that the accused and the complainant arrived together from Havre, in the bark Croton, about ten days ago, and put up at the French boarding-house of Mr. Feusier, No. 36 Dey street, where y y, it seems, the trunk of Peters was fc open, and the above money carried off. On searching the trunk of Claudell, the officer found two , containing 780 francs and several pieces of gold coin. This money is supposed to be a portion of that stolen. Justice Osborne committed him to the Tombs for a further hearing. Law In U. 8. Cincuit Count, June 22.—Before Judge Nel- son,—‘Bhe Slave Case,—Mr. Carnot, whom we yesterdvy mentioned as having been arrested under a bunch war- rant, was brought before Judge Nelson this morning, together with Mr. Charles D. Mathews, the owner of bark Chancellor, who had also been indicted, and against whom a bench warrant was issued, to have the amount of bail fixed. After hearing counsel on bot! honor fixed the bail to be given by Carnot — that to be given by Mr. Mathews at $3000. Mr. Matbews gave bail immegiately, and was discharged. Mr. ward L. Mathews and Mr. ‘Thomas Gardiner are his sureties, Mr. Carnot had not given bail up to six o'clock yesterday evening. Freeman and Gilson, the captain and mate of the Chancellor, were also held to ball; Freeman in $3000, and Gilson in $1500. This case will not be tried before the next October term. ‘The case of Wilder vs. Gayler is still on trial. Surerion Covrt—June 22—Before Judge Oakley.— Theodore Kimm vs, John Sattig.—This was an action for assault and battery. The parties are both Germans, one of them, the plaintiff, resides at St. Louis, and the other, the defendant, keeps a wine cellar in Broadway. It sppeared the plaintiffend man named Braab, another German, were acquainted in St. Louis, and had some difficulty there; they met in the month of August last at a coffee house in William street, in this city, and renew- ed the dispute; there were friends of both parties present, and amongat them the defendant; Braah asked the plain- tiff how were all friends in St. Louis, what he (Brash) had said to his father-in-law about him, the plaintiff. Braah then repeated what he had said, which was, that ho (Kimm) was » Jew and «thief; Kimm then orde him out of the room, Braah ret and leaned back on his chair; the plaintiff collared him, and they both fell on the floor, the plaintiff uppermost; the defendant, with another person whose name was not mentioned, rushed at the plaintiff and struck him—for this assault and bat- tery the action was brought. ‘The defence was, that plaintiff was the aggressor, he having first struck Braah; it was also attempted to be proved that defendant only interfered to separate the parties, and that it was the other man and not defendant that struck the plaintiff The jury gave a verdict of $50 for plaintiff, Foz plain- tiff, Messrs. Duyree and Stembler; for defendant, Mr. E. Sandford. Screriorn Count.—At the ensuing July term of this Court, there will not be any argument calendar made up, and no argument heard. The first two weeks will be devoted to the trial of issues of fact. Court or Common Puras, June 22.—Before Judge Daly.—Alexander Bruen vs. Wm. W.' Chester.— ‘This cause, referred to yesterday, was concluded to-day. The Judge in his charge told the jury that the law ap- pon to this case was so plain, that it was enough for im to read it to them; the only question they had to decide was, did Taylor, as the agent of the Commercial bank of Perth Amboy, discount the bill of exchange in suit and pay in small notes of the bank; if they believed he did, they ought to find verdict for the defendant; if mot, then they ought to find for the plaintiff.
