NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, June %4, 1847. The pioneer French steamer L’ Union, is now in her fourteenth day, and, therefore, due. We may hourly expect to hear of her arrival off the Battery. She was te have left Cherbourg on the 10th inat., and will bring four or five days later news from London, and a week later intelligence from Paris. Notes from Abroad, by Mrs. J. 6. B, Rome, April —, 1847. I sent you along account of the Holy Week. Tt was'such a large package that I did not like sending it by post; 1, therefore, fgave it toa courier, who said he would deliver it to you. What has struck me the most, and seem- ed ‘the most laughable and most ridicu- lous, was the ceremony of ascending the Scala Santa, or Holy Staircase. I went there on Good Friday, which was, as I have understood since, the best day to see it to perfection. Ihad heard and read of it very of- ten; but had no conception of the extent of absur- dity to which it is carried. The Holy Staircase is composed of eight-and-twenty steps, and said to be the identical stairs on which our Saviour trod on coming down from the judgment seat. It be- longed to the house of Pontius Pilate. This ataircase cannot be mounted but on the knees. Some go up three or four times in this manner. I went up one of the side staircases, and stood on the top of the Holy Staircase, to have a good view of the faithful. There they came, shuf- fling slowly along, nearly a hundred on the stairs at one time. At the top of the stairs there is a wooden figure on a crucifix, anda large plate underneath, to receive the offerings of the faith- ful; and this figure was fixed so unsteadily that whenever they kissed it too hard, it would tip over and put out one of the lights at either side, But there was a man there watching eagerly the money plate, and quietly ar- ranging the figure after it was knocked over... Some kissed every step as they went along. There were three handsome young men with moustaches, crawling up; together with pretty young girls, many old women and old men, and a large number of little boys. They would jostle each other, and make a great rush to obtain the first kiss. The most delicate took out their pocket handkerchiefs, and wiped it before they put their lips to it. They kissed every part of it, and none kissed so lightly that it did not fali over. The little boys and girls thought it great amusement, and contrived to annoy every body, particularly ladies with fine dresses. These little imps would go up and down half a dozen times before others had been once. On the summit is a chapel, which they all peep into for about half an hour. It is said to be full of relics. Here 1 saw them kiss the keyhole, the hinges, and everything about the door, over and over again, and then kneel down before it. ButI cannot really enumerate all the places they kissed. There is also a little altar there, where, if they pay a certain sum, souls will be released from purgatory—and you will sometimes see the applicant endeavoring to make a good bargain. I took Eliza with me, and she went up, of course. She thinks she is, in consequence, ab- solved from many sins. Master James, too, mounted it, kissed every step, and reached the summit before any of them. The next I saw of him, he was quite busy kissing the figure, while half a dozen were waiting very patiently until he had finished. He says he will bea Catholic, and that I need not try to make hima Protestant. It was altogether the most ridiculous sight I ever witnessed. The little boys seemed to en- joy it more than all. You recollect the English gentleman we met last summer on the Rhine. He ascended it twice, marvellously well,“and | kissed the figure to perfection. To-day the priests go round to every house, and bless them. | { expect every moment a visit from them, They iso have a bambino, which they carry in great state to the house of a sick person. If it turns red, the person will recover; if not, death en- sues. In a great many cases, the fright of see- ing it kills the individual, especially if of a ner- vous temperament. If the sick person survive the fright, they attribute it to the bambino, for they firmly believe in it. Sometimes the doctors have to insist against itsentrance. A large pro- cession invariably attends it. To-morrow night the splendid fireworks take place. I find in Rome that the present Pope isthe most liberal they have had for centuries.

The recent famine in Ireland, and the continued demand for breadstufis, have done | much to impress on the West India agricultur- ists, and more particularly those in the neigh- | borhood of St. eorge’s, the propriety of plant- | ing and keeping up the cultivation of such a sup- ply of ground provisions as will render the in- habitants, in a manner, independent of foreign supplies. Companies have also formed and others about forming for the cultivation of corn, &e. The estates in the Parish of St. George’s were suffering from want of moisture, a very scarce commodity.

The second’ performance of “ Norma’ attracted another crowded house, last night; the seats were all occupied, and the places looked beautifully. The music of tho celebrated Bellini, was sung with a great deal of entrain by the whole company. The grand ariaof “ Casta Di- va” had another trial, in which Signora Tedesco was en- tirely successful; her roulades, trilles, harmontcal scales, ete., were given with an immense display of tant. Big- nora Rainieri, who has entirely recovered, appeared ro- markably well in the part of Adalgiza; the andante and cabaletta of the first act, the duo with Norma, and the finale between her rival and Pollion, desorved applause. ‘Signor Severi, the tenors, was laboring under a very #e- vere hoarseness; his voice was not eure, his intonations hesitating, and, (his bs ing excepted.) did not produce | the expected effect. hope that he will soon appear | in better health, in order to show the true pow ‘of hie voice, which is said by many persons who have heard him in Havana, to be very good.

His Excellency President Polk, isto visit us, and we have given the above cut so that the readers of the Herald may know at once which is the man. Many will remember that on vari- ous occasions, when great men have visited us, and rode in procession through the streets, the anxious enquiry of “Which is he?” has been heard all along the line, and echo only has answered ‘* Which is he?’ And many a man, woman, and child has gone home wonderfully troubled with certain doubts as to whether he or she had, in reality, seen the lion atall. A careful study of the cut at the head of this col- umn, will obviate all such difficulty Atnine o’clock A. M., the committee of the Common Council will leave here in a steam- boat provided for the occasion, and with a num- ber of invited guests in company, proceed to Perth Amboy, where they are to meet the Presi- dent, who leaves Philadelphia at 7 o’clock. The guests will remain on board the boat while the committee proceed on shore to receive their honored guest from the New. Jersey escort. The chairman of the committee will address his excellency in behalf of the authorities of New York in general and his committee in particu- lar. All hands will then come on board and proceed to this city, landing at Castle Garden; where the Mayor and Common Council, and other officers, eivil and military, will be in at- tendance to tender the hospitalities of the city. The Mayor will heze make the address recep- tive; and the necessary forms having been ob- served, the President will pass from the Castle to the Battery and review the troops. The pro- cession will then ferm and move under the di- rection of marshals up Broadway to Astor place, through Astor place to the Bowery, down the Bowery and Chatham street to the eastern gate of the Park to the front of the City Hall, where a feu de joie will be fired by the military, as the President passes to his quarters at the Astor House. On Saturday Mr. Polk will receive calls from the citizens, at the.Governor’s room, in the City Hall, in the morning; and in the afternoon visit the High Bridge, the institution for the blind, and perhaps make a call or two at some other places of note, far uptown. He will, of course, attend church on Sunday, and on Monday will be escorted to his place of e nbarkation for Bos- tou. Aregular programme of the order in which the procession is to form and move, will be pro- mulgated in time to inform the several societies where they are to report, &c., and it is particn- larly desirable that all associations disposed to join, should report as early as possible to the pro- per marshals. The police arrangements are complete, and all adventurers in the pocket picking line, are warned in advance. They will be closely watched, and the chances are, that if their thievish fingers are found in their neighbor’s pockets, they will sup at the Egyptian palace, without the least danger of injuring their health from the effects of too rich a repast. Gen. Sandford has issued the following orders, which are to regulate the movements of the mili- tary, on this oecasion: FIRST DIVISION N. Y. 8. MILITIA DIVISION ORDER. NO. 5. New Yorx, June 19, 1847.

The First Brigade (Light) Horse Artillery, under Bri- gadier General Storms; the Sixth Brigade of Artillery, under Brigadier General Morris; and the First Brigade of Artillery, under Brigadier General Hall, will parade and take post in line, in accordance with the usages of the First Division of Artillery. ‘The Light Infantry corps will parade as follows: ‘The Eighth Light Infantry, the Washington Cadets, and the Emmet Guard, as one regiment, under the com- mand of Colonel John Ewen. ‘The First Lignt Infantry, the Union Riflemen, the ‘Washington Light Guard, the Montgomery Guard, the Montgomery Light Guard, and the ‘Washington Conti- nental Guard, as one regiment—under the command of Colonel Robert C.

The troops will be reviewed on the Battery by the | President of the United States, after which the Division will break into column, and take up the line of march designated by the Committee of Arrangements. | Brigadier General Storms will supply the necessary ammunition, upon the requisition of General Morris, ‘The officers of tbe Light Infantry corps will meet on | Monday evening next, eight o'clock, at the Artillery | Drili koom, Centre Market, on business of importance. | } | | The military will of course be a grand feature of the procession, but it isto be supposed that | other societies, of which there are so many in the city, will also turn out, and show by their at- tention to the Chief Magistrate of the nation, how they respect the excellent political institn- tions, of which he is ex-officio the head. Our firemen will, without doubt, turn out in large nambers, and other civic bodies in appropriate order, will help to make the occasion worthy of New York and her citizens.

At six o'clock, the President and suite (except fmg the ladies, provided for previously) together with the city fathers, sat down to a sumptuous dinner given by the City Councils at the Exchange, in honor of the President. At 8 o’clock the shaking of hands was resumed, and the people kept pouring into the hotel till past ten, when the President retired, During the even- ing, Mra, Polk and her niece received in their parlor, large number of the fair daughters and mothers of the Monumental city.

At Chester, a crowd was on the wharf, awaiting the boat, who cheered the President, as the steamer passed. Some iy d men, also, of the national militia, in their working costume, formed as » company of infantry, fired salute from the wharf, which was a very pretty feature in the day’s in- cidents At Gloucester, two steamers, decorated with flags and banners, and full of passengers, joined the com- pany, and the shipping, as we approached the city, pre- sented a brilliant spectacle, glancing along the river, adorned with all sorts of streamers and ribands.

The steamer Goorge Washington left Dook street wharf this morning about half past 7 o'clock, having on board the committee appointed by the town meeting to extend the hospitalities of the city to the President, bound to Wilmington. ‘The splendid brass band of Col, Page’s corps of State Fencibles, was in attendance, and enlivened the progress down the river with a selection ofairs. The boat arrived at Wilmington # quarter past 10 o'clock.

It is 38 feet long by 9 feet wide, and is capable of carrying 46 persons. ‘The roof is carved, forming handsome panel work inside. The sides and ends are finished in « similar manner, to imitate mottled mahogany with American black walnut mouldings.

On either side are two beautiful paintings, representing the arms of Delaware and Pennsylvania. ‘The whole cost of the car has been $2000. ‘As the boat pushed off from the Washington wharf, the band struck up a beautiful medley of national airs, and a salute was again fired from the cutter Crawford. ‘When the boat had reached opposite the boundary of Delaware, the Wilmington committee through their chairman, Wm. F. Rodgers, Esq., transferred the care of their guest into the hands of the Philadelphia commit- tee in # most beautiful and appropriate address. Judge Champneys responded in an address fitted to the occa- sion, but the reply of the President which followed, charmed all hearts with its neatness and patriotic ex- —— eliciting unbounded applause. He expressed is hearty thanks forthe unbounded weleome he had received, though well aware that the homage was ten- dered to the office he filled, and not to himself as au in- dividual, ‘On reaching Chester pier the bout was stopped, in order to permit the crowd assembled there to get @ glimpse of the President.

An “old opera goer” is perfectly right in his suggestions; but we will add, that because they are followed in Europe is no reason why it should be adopted here. Our correspondent says, that thumping with a cane, &c., is decidedly “ plebeian.” We recognize no such term in this country ; but for the sake of obliging our corres- pondent, we now use it for the purpose of ex- pressing our opinion that it is no more **ple- beian” to “thump with a cane,” than to cry “brava bravissimo!” What is comme il faut with the aristocracy of Europe, may not harmo- nize with the simplicity of American republi- cans.

The rascals left behind them three box »3 containing $5000 worth of ear rings, cameo breast pins, &c. These boxes they broke open, and in all probabilit; Py, must have been disturbed, or they would, beyond a doubt, have carried them off.’ As fares ascertained at present, the loss is estimated at between $4000 and $5000.

Dispelling the illusion, we proceed, a mustered courage enough to and 1g for while at the numerous specimens of roses which were hibited, and flying hke a humming bird from one flower to an , swelling fragrance of each, we spent two or three hours as pleasantly as mortals can expect to spend their time on earth. Nature in all her profuseness was spread out before us. Her most beautiful productions—grateful alike to all the senses were arranged in the most picturesque and varied maoner, while admiring the beauty and variety of o floral temple, or d: ing the fumes of @ of roses, we were instinctively attracted towards the gor- geous and magnificent panzies, cacti, hydrangeas, sweet williams, carnations, &c. &e.; , lemons, strawber- ries, snap dragons, ke. &c. &c., which were dis- played so temptingly, that were it not that we felt Ourselves in another world removed from the bustle and trouble of this mundane hemisphere, we would have been tempted to grace our button-hole with the ne, or gravfy our te with some of the other. lo very truth yesterday's horticultural exhibition con- ferred the pet credit on the city of New York, and were it not that delicacy forbids our mentioning the names of the several amateurs, gardeners and nurse! and care these wonderful. though various specimens before us were raised, we would gladly mention their names, and hold them forth 4s benefactors of the human but we could not mention one without mentioning all. In the culinary Vegetabl» department we observe some splendid new po- tatoes, cauliflowers, cabbages, beets, radishes, melons, kidney-beans, lettuce, rhubarb, gooseberries, arti- chokes, &c., &c., which an alderman would sigh for, and which, withoyt exception, were the finest we ever saw. In the collection of fruits we saw everything that could delight the gourmand or tho epi- cure, Strawberries of the Hautboy, Hovey, Princess, Prolific, Crimson, Prince Albert, and other varieties, which for size—we cannot speak of flavor—exceeded anything of the kind we ever saw in this or any other ovuntry. Lemons, oranges, cherries, ke. Kc., were ex- hibited in such yarleties and of such great size, an to convince all who saw them that we have in thia country the elements— natural and artificial —of producing ral fruits and vegetables in perfeotion — department was gorgeous and beautiful in the extreme. The atmosphere was reall t with the delicious odors of the thousand varieties of rose: pinks, carnations, (among the Iast wasa hybrid carn: tion, which attracted much attention) &e. ke , whicl were so profusely displayed. The exhibition was very well attended, and from the interest which the visiters attached to it, we augur well for the future operations of the American Agricultural Association. ‘Tue Weatnen.—The thermometer stood at 78 degs. yesterday M, in this city. ‘Tue Panx Nvisance,—Since the opening of the sum- mer soason, the walks in the Park are a source of much annoyance to those who have occasion to pass towards the courts and the other public buildings in this vicini- ty, in consequence of the busy preparation manifested In’ all quarters by the tree caterp This insect is folt to be a serious nuisance, and we trust that some measures will be adopted in order to rid those who fre- quent the Park for the sake of recreation ke., from such mn annoyance. No persen passing under the trees in the Park, is ;safe from the attacks of these marauders. Will neither the Common Council nor the American In- stitute, move in this matter? Nous verrons.

Kelsey and Eliza Van Houten, we are requested to state that no warrant was issued for the arrest of Mrs. Van Houten. ‘ursance.—The law in relation to cartmen backiug up and standing on the sidewalks has become such an intolerable nuisance in Front street, between Wall and Coenties Slip, that pedestrians are compelled to wade through the mud two or three inches deep in the middle of the street; and the enquiry is suggested of the or if an urrangement could not be made so that the rimen should occupy either the sidewalks or the mid- dle of the stie:t, the pedestrians care not which, but ask that they shall be protected in the one or the other.

The character of the advices received by the above steamer was not atone sufficient to have produced the panic and, the rapid reduction in prices, although there is very little doubt but that it destroyed the last hope of the bulls on this side of the Atlantic and hastened the decline which must sooner or later have been caused by large receipts, aud the prospects t immense crops. So far as the accounts from the other side alone are concerned, they do not amount to much. The decline in the markets of Europe, particularly in those of Great Britain, was the result of a few days favorable weather, and our next advices are as likely to be just the reverse of those recently received, as in any degree similar. The climate of Great Britain fs so very precarious, and unfavorable weather in that section of the world so gen- oral, that it is impossible to tell what a day or an hour may bring forth. Speculators in both countries are no doubt aware of these things, and are doubtless prepared for avy change. So fur as accounts from every section of our own country are concerned, speculators for an advance in breadstuffs have very little to hope for. It ia true, the season has been backward, and unusually cold, but every species of grain looks well, The crops generally exhibit a very healthy appearance, and as soon as the hot weather seta in—which will be after the 4th of July—we may x} pect a rapid ripening of all agricultural products. Our seasons for several years past have been exceedingly late, notwithstanding which they have been highly pro- ductive. The month of June, for several years past, hes been very similar to the present, notwithstanding which the harvests have been abundant. We require the long rains pecullar to the month, to enable the growing LERY, | plants to‘stand, the long droughts of July end August
