Venice, August 22, 1851. ‘The Feasts of Venice—Celebration of the Birth day of the Emperor—Americans in Venice-- Trip Arownd the World, §&c. $c. ‘The Venetians are the same pleasure-loving peo- pie now they were.a thousand years ago, and Ve~ nice is still The of all festivit he Fevel ef the cath: the mane ot Thly. ‘The whole week past has been devoted to festas of some sort or another. Every one of the sixty eburches of the place has its series of festas, and every day in the calendar is devoted to some saint. On Friday last, the Assumption of the Virgin was celebrated; and all the shops were closed (by law), and mass was said in all the churches, andthe bands played to unusual crowds in St. Mark’s Place at wight. Saturday night began the feeta of St. Luke, and banners, and paintings, and statoes, were displayed in the campe of that name, which was thronged with crowds of people. This wae kept up duriag Surday, and the ringing of bells throughout Venice was even more ceaseless and elamorous than usual, and that is saying much, for there is not, probably, acity in all Italy so well sup- plied with sweet-toned bells, or bells so constantly imuse. One is often roused inthe middle of the night by a tripple-bob- major, and when midnight sounds from the sledge-hammers of the brouze say ages of the clock-tower of St. Marks, a perfec; hoet of campaniles send forth their echoes in obe. dience to the order. Sunday evening there was a fresca—a procession of gondolas on the liquid Corso of the grand canal, accompanied by two of the bande of the Austrian garricon. The evening was delightful; all the beauty and rank of Venice was abroad, and the music was perfect. A long letter could hardly give an idea of the scene. At nine o'clock, the Austrian corvette, or sloop of war, led off all the batteries and gun-boats in s grand can- nenade of a bundred gurs in honor of the eve of the Ewperor’s birthday, succeeded by the usual | music to an unusually large and brill multitude | im the piazza. Monday morning all Venice was roused from its | slumber by an imperial salute of an hundred and | one gune, from the shipping and batteries, far and _ wear, continuing for nearly an hour, and the music of » band which paraded the principal streets with martial and inspiring airs. At 8 o'clock, the difte- rent troops (Bohemian and Hungarian infantry, the | artillery and marines) to the number of about four | thousand, began marching from their casernos in different quarters of the city, their caps and colors | decorated with eprigs of cedar; and at nine o’clock they were formed into a hollow equare in the Place St. Mark. General Gorekowsky, Governor of the | city, then deseended from his lace, companied | by the king of Oldenburg, who is visiting Venice, | and his dil staff, and was received by the bands with the national anthem, “(God Save the | Ewperor”—a rather imposing, but simple and mo- notonous air, in movement somewhat like ‘God Save the King.” In view of Luropean events of | the past few years, the circumstance recalled with some force Byron’: lines— “God save the king! and kings! For if he don’t, I doubt if men will longer; T think I bear « little bird who siage— The people by and bye will be the stronger.” & As for the people of Venice, | must do them the eredit to fe Sones they seemed gloriously indiffer- | ent to the wi affair, from Alpha to Omega; and | seemed not to care one rush whether his most illus- | trious Higbnesr, Franz Joseph, was born August | I#th, or January 14th, as never born at all. As | old Damas said of women,—* These Venitians are | not co bad after all.” | Old Gorzhowsky was dazzling to behold inhis | seariet coat all covered with gold lace and decora- | tions, and with a bigh conical Tartar cap of far, surmounted b; straight plume of white fea- thers, like a Sultan’s, infront. The King of Ol- denburg was also in a Field Marshal's usiform. | The uniform of hig staff and of the whole army of officers—(so ridiculously disproportioned in their | numbers to the rank and file)—which accompanied | Bim, as he walked rapidly along the lines, were j cessively rich and gaudy. ‘Ibe colors of the int try officers are white and gold, and those of the na- | vy and other arms biue ot all shades, from the ce- | iulean to black, faced with seariet or gold.

Washington City—Hs Jmprovements and Progress— Theatricals, &c.—Sanitary Report, §e., §c. Since the passage of the Compromise measures, Washington appears to have received ao impetus which bids feir, if it continues, to fill up its “mag nificent distances,” and render it as attractive asa city as it now is ae @ grand stumping grouod. Wi the past year bundred: of houses have been erected--some of which would aot disgrace the most fashionable streets of Gotham--and yet, at the pre sent time, there are not a dezen tenements unoccu pied. The barren waste, known as the “mall,” is | rapidly converted into an elegant and spacious park —the Capitol is undergoing its amplification—the Patent Office building bas assumed an imposing | appearance, one marble wing, extending an entire | square having been completed, and the other wing Lafayette Square, too, so long a mere enclosure for the benefit of herbivorous animals, has been placed | under the charge of Mr Downiog, the rural archi. | tect, and promises to add greatly to the appearance ofthe “White House,” which faces it. It is in this square that Mills’ equestrian statue of General Jackson is to be placed. In addition to all these beautifications, it is understood that the angular vacancies, which no one who has ever beea in Washington, has failed to remark as dostroying the otherwise fine appearance of Pennsylvania ave nue, are to be enclosed in handsome iron railings, with fountains aad shrubbery, thus converting into elegant gardens those unsightly gaps. In this connection i: is proper also to make men- tion of another attraction which this city is about to one of its citizens, C. H. Winder, Esq. The Na- tional theatre is to be elegantly fitted up by that gentleman, so as to make it second to none on this continent. For this purpose, Mr. Winder has en- gaged the services of an eminent architect, with a carte lanchefor all he requires. It is understood that the interior will somewhat resemble the Astor Place Opera House, although on a larger seale. Mr. Marshall, ths popular and esteemed lessee of the Broadway theatre, New York, andthe Walnut street theatre, Philadelphia, has leased the Nation- al theatre, and this alone is a sufficient guarantee that the performances will not do it to the theatre, and that both will reflect credit upon the city. Theatrieals, if of a respectable character, have always been well patronised here; aad even bad playing in this city fora week past have had crowded houses, notwithstanding the very inferior character of the performances. Mr. Marshall will pent to Washington audiences as high talent as ¢ brings out im New York; and there is not the —* doubt but that he willbe eminently suc- ceeel ul A prejudice has somehow prevailed against Wash- ington, under the belief that it isno: as healthy as some more northern localities; and whenever it hay pened that any distinhuished mam shuiftied off ths mortal coil here, it was at once set down to the un- healthiness of the place. We have before us the last annual report of the able President of the Board of Health, Dr. Thomas Miller, upon the sani- tary condition of the city; and it appears from it, that, octwithstanding the large suber of st ers drawn together here,in proportion to the resident populativn, thatthe deaths do not av 2) per cent.

From al- most ali the leading whigs who come to this city, from time to time, 1 gather the fact that General Scott is to be the man. Bat one pledge will be exacted of him, and that is, that, if elected, he will stand by his friends and let his enemies paddle their Leading whigs from Tennessee, North ii and Kentucky, whom | have met here within the last few weeks, all agree that they can trust General Scott on the slavery question, no matter who at the North may choose to support him, with as much ccofidence as they could trust any other man. They say that they trusted Generai Tayler, who, after his election, pitched | heels over head into the arms-of Seeward- iem. He had never gained victories in the North. | But General Scott, who has done gloriously, both for the North and the South, who was born and raised in Virginia, and now hails from the North, | is just the patriotic lover of this whole beloved | Union, they say, to be trusted by the South and | North alike. The only pledge they will exact of him isthe one already alluded to, that if elected President, he will stand by his friends—by the men Who eball have made him the chief magistrate of the pation. x ° | A leading and sagaeious whig Senator of the United States openly declares that he will exact this pledge, and none other, from Cieneral Szott. Jv18 no more nor less than the openly avowed doc- trine of Stephen A. Douglass, “ the young giant of the West,” who will be, in all probability, the de- i nt of G Scott. moyen rhig Senator tells President “is Millard Fillmore this day President?

Governor Marcy informally brought out, by the Athany Poli- ticians, as @ Candidate for the Presidency ‘The game now being played upon the political cheas board perplexes the most adroit and experienced among the players, The meeting held by the democrats in the capitol, a few evenings since, being conducted with per fect harmony, and in a spirit of reconeiliation, has pro duced much disappointment with the Seward whigs. They anticipated the usual discord and disturbance. They imagined that there could be no fraternity between the bunkers and burkters, and therefore counted upon ® regular row and burst up. When the ball opened by the introduction of Governor Marcy to the chair, one of the most incorrigible old hunkers, by Peter Cagger, the most vindictive of the barn burners, it gave evideuce that the democracy had evidently congregated for the purpose of having union meeting and partaking of a lovefeast together. The Governor himself enjoyed the entertainment right heartily; he made a conciliatory, address, hoped the democracy would unite together and take persession of all the offices in the State and nationai government, The selection of Governor Maroy to pre- wide at the first response mooting after the Syracuse no- mination, is virtually placing him before the people as a candidate for the Presidency.

A New Political Movement—The Temperance Ques- tion— The Little Things of the Great Celebration— Mr. Wibster—The Weoster Convention—The Webster Picture. Every day brings up something new for the de- liberation of the curious in politics. That which now commands attention, is the movement got up by the friends of temperance with reference to the coming election, and the effect of which may be somewhat remarkable. A ‘lemperance Convention isto be held in Worcester on Wednosday next; the object—at least the ostensible object—of which will be the concentration of the labors and influence of all temperance men in favor of such candidates for the Legislature as will vote for a law not unlike that which existe in Maine, where it is now impos- sible—unless you happen to be rich—to a dram anywhere except under the bed. Tho real ebject, Lee ores key the opinions of some veteran liticians, isto bring the temperance question to Sor egainst the coalition, so as to throw the Lo- gislature into the hands of the whigs; and this it will stand a very fair chance of beeen @ temperance we. should be for instance, in iddlesex county—the tempe- rance men will propound questions to the various candidates nominated, demanding their views on the subjects at issue. Let us sup- ry that the coalition candidates shall answer @ manrer not favorable to the temperance men— and any answer will be, by them, held unfavorable. if the movement is really one of a pure political character—then will a temperance ticket be got up, and the coalicion candidates, perbers: be beaten; for the whig vote will be very large in the event of @ succestful effort being made to divide their oppo- nents. It will not matter @ straw to the whigs tow many of their own men go over to the temperance side, as their candidates will be chosen by the Lezis- lature, in the event of there being no choices by the ople. The coatitionists will lore not a few men- hot of the House in the same way, while not a half dozen whigs will be lost from this cause, if, indeed, one shall be. Boston and tho other places where the whig strength lies, are not o/ten much affected by the temperance question. Take it for all in all, this temperance movement may be a godsend to the whigs ; and it isnot to be wondered at that it should be as-erted by the other side that it has beon got up bythe whigs. The question itself has had much to do with our politics for some years, breaking down the whigs themselves, in 1439. Mr Briggs wat a thorough temperance Governor, and used to get the votes of the temperance men on that ground, while all the great distillers aad im- porters voted for him because he was a whig, and not a few of the retailers for the same reason. So far as the present candidates are concerned, Gover- nor Boutwell is a total abstinence man, and has been quite 1orward in the Yomperance movement. r. Wi cer- glory — and state smenehip, and stern integrity are ample — qv men well | p to the country—their principles wd —thetr preferences settled apd both of an age in all pro- ‘ but that will not © Mr. Paifrey is the same ; and tainly cannot be called drinking man, nor thing hke it, though he istoo much of a gentle- and too table, net to live generously, and to entertain his friends after the same fashion. He did not, however, give the Presiden: any tipple when he visited him on the occasion of the immor- tal Jubilee. The free soil party, of all our politi, cal organitations, has the best claim to be consi~ dered a temperance party, being as ultra on that ae as they are on everything else. The whigs ave, in their ranks, men who are in favor of coer- cive jaws, while the majority of their number are too intelligent and liberal to favor any such legisla- tion. It is not in human nature, however, for them to refrain fiom rejoicing over the conversion of a great and most excelleot moral movement into a mere political dodge, when by so doing they can back the control of the State government. ey feel that they were not fairly beaten, what- ever others may think about the matter, and per- haps hold “s aoe Mee xo age to the followers of that very al somewhat nas: tre natius Loyola, namely—that “ the ob justi ies oe means. As we geta little away from the celebration, we begin to see that among the details were some things not very creditable to the city. One thing was the exceeding penuriousness of the ma- nagement in some important respects, leet to treat gentlemen occupying influential tions, —_ not public officers, with the deference that the editor of the W: publ r wr of the sihingtcn Repblic self a native of Boston, and therefore view our failings with a charitable eye, expressed himeelf perfectly usted with the treatment he received.

Deacon Grant, the Magnus Apollo of tee-totalism, and who wason the committee, avers that only six thousand bottles were used, and! un- derstand that be is willing to swear to the state- ment onthe bung-hole of the cask of Virgenes; and even if he is right, what shall we say of the tum, gin, brandy, and various kinds of wines that were used! What of the juleps, the cocktails, th» punches, the toddies, the grog |, &c.—all members of the devil's spiritual —that went down throats as plibly as iced water could have gone the same way! Charity leads me to suppose they were all taken as preventives against sea sickness, the water on the occasion being about as much rufiied as the mer de glace. One ot our militia generals, in the exuberance of = vey — one of Len Sieeageann means at which tieh military men were present, pored this toast:—“The British Areg-ie ts always be successful ' ated mobbism disgusted all t—the dead sence; when Me.

Horace, I suppose, has become anglicized by his recent ex- tensive tour in Great Britain, which run over the enormous time of three weeke, the greater part of which was spent amid the tubs, churns, butterboats, diamonds, and patent hair dressing machines, that f to make up the humbug known as the World’s ‘air. But Horace don’t stand alone on this occa- sion, for tome of our big wigs and whigs were grievously put out by the manner in which the im- mortal expounder crushed their forces. There were many foreigners — and it struck more than one person who heard Mr. Webster, that he ‘was expresely defying them all, as the representa- tives of powers that showed us no mercy when we Were weak, and who would not be entitled to any great dieploy of it from us in the hour of our strepgth—an hour soon to strike on the clock of time. That bis werds would offend our civic digni- taries and their toadies—for the practical pathos of buman nature is such that even they can have toadies, asthe Koman ite had bis umnbra—was apoint about which the great man did not give himself any concern.

A State convention to nominate Mr. Webster for This picce of unmit British pers, is sufficient to show that the braneh of the whig party of which Mr. Webster is the are not satisfied with the action of the Springfield vention.

Monday. It is a great picture, and wil add to th fame of the distinguished artist. It hay been se- verely criti in certain « ers, but those who- are more familiar with our upper circles than | am, declare that envy is at the bottom of all this hos- tile criticism. Mr. Healey, itseems, has introduced into the picture the heads of some Beene who- were not born atthe time the speech » Web- ster, the painting is designed to commemorate, was made, and other persons, whose faces do not appear on the canvars, are disgusted with the wautof i P ing which such a proceeding betrays. Mr. Healey, I suppose, would plead the license of a poet, inter being a poet, and entitled to all tne privi- epee of his craft His offenee, if it be an offence, is far from being without a presedent. Some Gian 4 years since | saw Haydon’s picture of eur Saviour’s entering Jerusalem, andamong the fdgures in the background were Voltaire end some other noted freethinkers, who look upon our Lord, and upon the people who throw palm branches before him, with very bitter sneers. As Voltaire was not born until some seventeen hundred years after the at inci- dent depicted by the painter, it must be allowed that the anachroaism was something of the great- est, compared with which that of Mr. Healy is a very trifling matter indeed. Mr. Webster visited the pe himeelf, the other day, on which occasion ¢ indulged in some pretty pungent sayings, at the expense of several of his couemporaries, = he faces and figures are destined to live on canvass with his own immortal countenance. Mr. Clayton he spoke of as one who had wasted away pretty mush after the fashion of the Sybil, of whom nothing was left butthe voice fle gave John Tyler a bit, and com- pared General Cars to Cassandra, the unhay prophete-s of old Priam’s kingdom and houie, fate eVer to predict the truth, and never to be believed. Some other worthies came in for praise, as Edward Everett was compared, by hia, te a column; but satire seemed to be the order of the day with tho illustrious critic, whereat the many laughed, while the few sighed, at such u display of the eccentrici- ties of genius. But magis magnos clericws non runs magis magnos sapientes—which, being interpreted, signifieth that a man may be a considerable of » brick, and yet not wise Mr. Curtis’ appointment to the U. 8. Judgeship was expected, and was talked of from almost the first moment that intolligse se was received here of the death of Judge Woodbury. Therefore, Lu official act was regarded as a matter of course being a youth of forty is looked upon, by some of the old boys of the profession, as being a drawback to the excellence of the appointment ; but the pub- lic are very well satistied with it. Mr. Wobster’s influence is seen very clearly in th titer, he and Mr. Curtis being the most intimate of personal and. political friends. ; Next week the political conventions will com- mence in the various counties The whigs of Middlesex hold their convention on September 30th, and the democrats and freesoilers on the Ist of October. ‘I'he action of Middlesex will be imper- tant, as it will have an effect on the other counties, most of which wiil hold their sonventions at a later day. I should not be surprised to see the nomina- tions made entirely different from what have been eted, and what the papers have been predicting. expe yy it 1s supposed that Mr. Phillips will head the coalition Senatorial ticket, which will give ita ater power than it possessed last year.

Confusion triumphed. Gentlemen of distinguished names, gave the lie and received it back again. Fists were doubled and rubbed noses frequent-* ly; but, thank Giod, there was no blood shed, and he country, especially in these diggins, is safe. They made their uominations, and adjourned at eleven o'clock at night, in rather a joyful way.
