INTERESTING LETTERS,| aw Our Parts Carrespondence. @O8SIP OF PARIS. Panis, August 12, 1862. The Weather and Condition of Paris—Grand Pvblec Balls and Enjoi dy the Lower Clas- eo— Grand Ceremony at Havre— Extramdinary Discovery of Combustibles in Bales of Cotton— Grand Artistic Exhibition—The Cholera in Po- fand—Exiraordinary Murder— The Operas, Thea- ‘te, $c — Madame Sontag— Americans in Paris. ‘The swallows have left us—and this is the best Proef that as soon as these birds fly for warmer cli mates, the extreme heat is over, and will not return 8B the next spring. This feathered tribe, which ‘was playing like an incessant fire-work over the woofs of our large city, has left us, by its departures $a a dull and quict silence. Paris, a: this time of the oar, seme to be deserted; and, if it was not for the eccasion of the 15th of this month—which, as it is well known, is to be avery grand fertival—the grand city of Europe woald be like one of the ancient desdrted cities of Asia, with the exception of the veins, which have not yet made their appoarance hete, except in the rubbish of the demolished euses. the fresh weather of the autumn has made ie appearance in Paris, the letters received from our Seuthern departments announce that the heat is emtreme there. In Spain, it appears, the drought ie ae great, that Guadalquiver, the largest river in the country, is so shallow that no steamboat or aeht is able to float upon its waters. The cities of ville, San Luear, Cadiz, Paulo Real, Chiprona, La Isla, and Rosa, have been almost deserted by their inhabitants, who, having no water to drink, have emigrated to other places where tho liquid was to be procured. ‘This variety of petri re sudden ere much wmexpected, has ca much damage to crops, and in France, as well ag in Spain and Italy, the wines will be far from being as abundant and as they wore in former years. The eause of all change of the course of the season has been attributed by astronomers to the appearance of a and and magnificent comet, which was first seen E Westphal, an astronomer from (icettingne, on the 24th ult ey at 3 degrees from the star o fe Twins. This comet bus also been observed at Altona on the 27th, with the magnificent glasses of the Observatery, and also at Hamburg on the same @ay. Is the comet the cause of all this natural change in the habits of the old earth? ‘The eity of Paris, despite its undoniable state of @ulness and deathlike appearance, will, in a few days, be revived as if by a galvanic shock, on ao- eount of the grand féte given by Louis Napoleon aad the Common Council of the city to the Parisian and the stranger at large, in honor and commemo- ration of the distribution of the eagles to the Mational Guard. The preparations of all sorts made in the Champes Elysée, on the Place de la Cencorde, at the barriers of La Rapée and De Trono, and also on the river Seine, where a naval rencontre ie to take place between the frigate, La Ville de Paris and two steamboats fitted out as men of war, which are worth secing, and are attracting all those whe desire to know something in advance. My imtention is to give a full report of this féte. It will be sufficient to say that two balls are to be n on that occasion, which will, no doubt, be witnessed by more than forty thousand persons. ‘The ball of the market, preparod at the place of the Fontaine dos Innocence, promises to be an unprece- dented affair, and no one has an idea of the number ef applicants for tickets, who have written letters te allthe public officers from whom they expected te be vided with the introductory piece of stamped poneboard. The supper of that bail will be a splendid affair, and seventy thousand ics eream er sorbets, ninety thousand glasses of syrup, sixteen thevsand candy cakes, irty thousand pieces of cakes, a tren aed an 0 api are to be served up to the guests of the city. the market wouien of rank will be introduced to this ball, and will mingle with the fashionable peo- Fle, who, like before the revolution of 1793, will try sencanailler in the best style, as their ancestors used to do at the Porcherons. No doubt, tho sight of this mé/ée will bo worth seeing. 5 The theatres are to be opened free to the public om Saturday next, from one to five o’clock in the afternoon. Though the managers are receiving sums of money to allow the canaille thus to imvade their boxes and comfortable scats, they are ali much displeased, for most of those who will in- vade their houses will trample on the silk of their exsbions, brenk open tho gates, and spit all over the floor fi faut! que le pup On Monday next the @ ’amase. te will be transported from Paris to St. Cloud, where the Prince President offers ‘grand ball to his friends. As a matter of course, ande soiree Will not be us thronged, or as auch attended as tho balls of the market; but is will havo its peenlior fcatures more in my next letter Whilst these preparations are png on, the city eof Havre bas had its festival, on the oceasion of th erection of two bronze statues of Casimir Delavign and Bernardin de St. Picive, two oe poets, who wero born at that seaport. The Likoness of thes» twe celebrated men were cast in bronze by the famed sculptor David d’Angers. The ceremony, which took place on Sunday last, was very remark- able, and had attracted a large crowd of people from all the neighboring departments. It bogan with aconcert given by the Bociety ef the Orpheonists, followed by the dedication of ‘the statues, the do- livery of two fine and eloquent spceohos by Messrs. Micbel Chovatier and Alfred de Musset, and was concluded by a d dinner, and the illumination ofthe city. This fue will Lae be remembered by the eitizens of Havre, and also by their guests. I had the honor of being introduced. in Havre, to the firm of Morers. Davilliers, Samson & Co.. dealers im cotton and manufactures, woo told me the most peculiar facts which have been ever hoard of since eotton was sent from the United States to Europe. It a - that, for the last few months, bundles of maiches are often found in the bales of cotton, be- tween the cotton and the wrappers of the bales. No doubt, the intention of those who piacod these fire- brands in the bales, is to get the matches lighted by the friction, and thus sect fire to the ship. Messrs. Devilliers, Samson & Co found two of these incen- diary torpedos among a lot of four hundred and fifty-five bales of cotton which had boon sent to their address, on board the American ship John Hancock. p I visited, a few ae oe ete ee near Paris, a magvificent Aiasqve, made with iron orzaments, by Me Tolly and designed by Mr. Chas. Duvas, architect of Madame Rachel’s palace, which is really worth being mentioned among the finest pieces of art invented and produced during the pros- ent century. This monument, made for Mahomet Ali, the gon of the Viceroy of Egypt, is of a Chinese form, twelve metres high and fourteen metreslarge. The inside of this kiosgue is fitted with ail, colored lass, paves of mirror, china statues, &o , and offers She most enchanting sight. Such a thing in New York would attract the attention of visiters for moro a year. Paul Delaroche, the celebrated painter, is now in Brussells.

In the midst of -the city of Mexico, as Humboldt says, ‘one of the finest cities ever built by Earope- ans in either hemisphere”’—the capital of a sister republic, abounding in fruits and vegotables of other temperate and tropic climates, and in silver and gold--the nerous rerwm—tho home of the Leperes—the western representative of Italy’s dolce far ineute—how my heart is filled with pious admi- ration for the magnitude and sublimity of these sports of nature! how deeply is my mind absorbed in serious and careful reflections upon the romantic history of the land where the star spangled banner was victoriously hoisted in defiance to the world! But I am not bold enough to justify myself in under- taking to write you a letter, which would be any- thing but philosophic; besides, this is not the objoct of my present communication. You know, I have followed Max Maretzek to this empire of the old caziques—Max Maretzek, the restless, enterprising, ingenious manager of the New York Italian Opera, who is giving here a series ef representations, with his artistic company; and Setog satisfied that he carries with him, wherever he may go, the best wishes and sympa- thies of his deserving and numerous friends, I think, without prognosticating, that any information con- cernin; es and his associates will meet with con siderable interest in all circles where the Haran is if Iean, withont abusing the confidence of a friend, I must say, that the idea of an artistic tour to Mexico was first started 4 Valtelina, the hus- band of Signorina Majocchi, who both were formerly engaged in this city; but did not prove, in its exeeu- tion, as honest and profitable as it cou'd have been wished, nay, expected. Undoubtedly, the project was a great one, and an advantageous one, too, but, frankly speaking, more so to the benefit of the sa- ‘acious contractor, Signor Valtelina, who proceded ax, in tho capacity of a géraut plenipotentiar, than to poor Max himeelf. Think, only, that according to Valtelina’s status, the monthly expenses would teva reached the enormous sum of thirty thousand jollars. As soon as Maretzek arrived at Mexico himself, he, of course, gave him the cousdium abeundis, and he is now going on with his third abowmement with most extraordinary success. The opening of his representation was rapturously applauded, and met with indescribable enthusiasm. e has had constantly filled housos; and were his expenses not too enormous— averaging at about twenty thousand dollars a month—he ought to be earning the well descrved wages. Bertusea, Steffanoni, and Beneventuro are the ts of the public, and well merit it. Forti is not jess liked; but Salvi, to use a commorcial phrase, isin greater demand.

Ware Sunenur Srrinas, Freperick Counry, Va., Augast 22, 1552. Summer Sketches—The Tournament Ball—The Queen and the Company. There was a bustle in the room of Miss S——, last night, a dodging about of lights, a constant tramp- ing of the good natured chambermaid—a flitting of curious smiling little girls. Am arch looking miss of twelve was standing before a basket of flowors, selecting the choicest and studying carefully their | arrangement, with poutod lips and eyes demarcly downeast, as though thinking of the time when the } little fairy, watching so intently by her side, would perform the same service for her. Opposite the glass was sitting Miss S——, (queen of the tournament,) in half undress, her beautiful arms shaded only by a fall of linen at the shoulders, and her eye wae resting somewhat complacently on the little foot before her—and, indeed, that foot was a very dainty looking thing in its white slip- per; and we have no doubt her numerous lovers have charming visions of horseback rides every half minute that they might take that wicked | brain- turner of a foot into their palms, while lifting its owner to the saddle. Immediately behind the cbair of Miss S—, stood a fair gir), carefully thridding the masses of | hair mantling the ivory neck and shoulders, pre- | paratory to platting it into those long braids so well | calculated to display the contour of a fino head. | Atlast she was arrayed— each braid in its place— | a wreath of buds falling behind her ear, and her sim- | ple dress floating about her figure like an airy cloud. | She smoothed down the folds, peoped over her shoul | der to see that the silky ringlets were doing no di | credit to their dainty restiog placo—aud then, wi bouquet all in readiness, prepares to descend to the ball-roem.

It surprised mo not alittle to find you to thoroughly ** posted up,” as the saying is, on the doings of Saratoga, for it is truly a strange place, and like all os resorts of fashionable dissi- pation, has its mysteries and sesrets, its sliques and coteries. Youraccount ef the ball was indeed ad- mirable, so far a8 it went; but thera are one or two incidents connected with that event which you have overlooked or forgotten mention. Being one of the thousands who have, during the past few woeks, enjoyed the waters of this charming spot, you ped weg allow me to fill up the de- ratum, give your readers a pose amo tho secret history of what appears so plausible in tho “official” account, a8 you call it, of that affair. You are no doubt aware, that fer the last fow ears the gayeties and pleasures of havo jost much or} charm, from the fact that own hands, excluding all who are not of their “‘set;” and by a system of leger- demain peculiar to themselves, foisting their names, jot inte the nalic aa teehee sak society, Press, for themsielvee A ypesd show of respeotabllite which but ‘ly becomes the wearers. Such was the case with the recent ball. Some days previous ee re a circular was iesued, stating that a been held at the United States Hotol, and and-so called to the chair, whereas no meeting whatever had occurred; and in fact, the circular which appeared in the Herav, copied from the local papers here, was the forgery of a certain coterie, who annexed the names of nearly all the gentlemen without their consont—and in reality the majority of the managers were not even here. The ball camo off, and was, as you well remark, a failure—a decided failuro. Tho morning after, a glowing account of tho affair appeared in the village paper, which has since been transferred in*o the LD, and gone the rounds of tho press generally. Iean assure you, on what I consider good authority, that that description of the ball was written and in type before the event it pretended to doscribe had taken place. Of course one were noticed but such as the aforosaid clique deemed worthy of so great a distinction. Hence tho exorbitant and exaggerated terms of flattery in which some, who were never heard of before, and who are quite unknown in rospoctable society, are spoken of. ‘The entire affair was got up the day previews, and whon the papers appeared next mora- ig you may well ii 0 the amusement it cre- ated; for many of those most highly complimented were not even present in the ball room. ‘hus goes the world. ¢ ball at Newport will be of the same stamp, unless you awaken public attention to this grogs imposition, through your columns, w!)'sh, on former occasions, have been found so efficacious in showing up the silly pretensions of would-be aristocrats. Deuta. The Buffalo znd Now York Railroad Cele- bration. The celebration of the completion of this road took gee on Wednesday. We take the following do- scription from the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser: — In company with a large number of Buffalonians, we left in the morning train for Attica. Here wo encountered a large gathering, although a train composed of ten or twelve cars had left an hour be- fore, filled toa jam. We started from Attica a lit- tlo after ten, with all the pemenigee, freight, and platform cars that could be procured. At every station large accessions wore made to the ped and by the timo of the arrival of the train at Port- age, tho conductor reported sixteen hundred as the result ofhis gatherings along the route. At Port- age thero was a large crowd assombled, and the trains that came in from the east and the west until the widdle of the afternoon, were filled. The coun- try round about, seemingly turned out en masse on foot and in carriages. [¢ was estimated that there were 10,000 people on the ground, a good proportion of whom were ladies. _ The high bridge was a principal point of attrac- tion. The upper, the middle, and the lower falls, too—in a ) feot—drew a large number of visitors. The old dilapidated tunnel of the Genossea Valloy canal was not forgotten. ‘The river, at this season, however, makes a poor show—the quantity of wa- over the Palis not being large.

Itis now completed, with a six foot track from Attica to Hornellsville, sixty miles. It passos through a mest beautiful and picturesque country, with a great variety of peenery Tn this respect it is scarcely excelled by any other-road in the coun- try. Tho company purchased the track of the Buf- falo and Rochester Koad from Attica to within eight miles of the city line, of which it takes possession on or before the Ist of November. The track is to be extended to six feet, co that we shall have a wido fuse connection with New York. The road has cen built in the best and most substantial manner, and is well stocked. ‘The distance from New York to Hornellsville, is 382 miles.

Bir—Each steamer lately hus brought us a relay of artistes from Eogland, and ‘the ory is still thoy com Now, the Hera. is, par exeellence, thejournal to yohe look for information on masical , 88 Well as all ovher matters, aad by the opinions expressed in the Henan the multitade are guided : bence it is desirable you should be well ted Up concerning the merits aud pretensions of | the several avtistes seeking these shores, in order that the ‘“wheav” may be separated from tho **chaff,” and the trae metal from the counterfeit. Now, as there is not a singer, or instrumental por- former, petive or for —pob an actor nor actress, metropolitan or wprovincial, who has appeared ia London daring the last fifteen years, but whose merits I bave been called upon to discuss, in tho course of duty, Ican, perhaps, give you more in- formation, of a practival kind, concerning those who have already arrived, and those who are on their way, than most men. Tio think the system of preliminary puffing bad in principle, and decidediy injurious to the be- puffed. The publi are led to expect more than they obtain; a higher estimate is formed of the abilities of tho artiste thao the result justifies; the actor or singer fails in realizing the expectations of his anditors; disappointment ensues, and, after a few weeks, the artiste, who bas beon elevated on stilts, finds him- self once more on terra irene with waning lars ity, whist the public, feited with *‘putfs and posters,” will not give him credit for the merit he really possesses, and he is soon forgotten in tho pixel 4 or eclipsed by some later arrival, who un- dergoes the same , and arrives at tho samo result. Place the artiste fairly before the public, aud then leave him, or her, to display such talent as they possess. If it is true talent, tho public can, and will, Sparel it at once; if, on tho contrary, “the ring of the true metal’’ is wanting, all tho praise be- spasserinis ali the pufling in the world, caunot for the article on the market for any longthened pari “‘customora will not come a second time,”’ and they are shy of trusting you again. Now. concerning the new comers let us take tho actors and actrosses first. To begin with Miss Pitz patrick, I consider that you have done her already a great injury—you have heralded her forth as ff: fe belle of the English stage, tho rival of Mr. Nisbett,” and superior to anything that has ever crossed the Atlantic. Now I want to know hov, when, and whore, she obtained her diploma as ‘tho belle of the English stage,” and when sho became “ the rival of Mrs. Nisbett,” the greatest and mo:t glorious comedy actress of the age, whom Miss Fits- patrick, with all due deference to her talent, nevor came within half a century of. Besides was tho writer oblivious of the existence of a lady, named Mrs. Sterling,.who comes next to Mrs. Nisbett; or of some three or four others, who enjoy a Lereee do- gree of popularity than the new found “ elle,” and lingers an equal right to the transatlantic titlo. ‘Miss Fitzpatrick came to London and played 3a entire season at the Saddler’s Wells theatro, under Phelps’ management. She ran the round of comedy and farce, playing the bost of business, without creating apy profound sensation in the theatrical circles, or ‘*rivalling Mrs. Nisbett’? Vestris at that timo wanted a leading comedy lady, and she was solicited to go and see the comedy star of Saddler’s Wells. She went, and when asked hor opinion gave it briefly, as follows:—‘ She is a well drossed woman.” She was not ongaged for Vestris’ theatre, but Julia St. George, the charming little vocalist, then at the samo theatre, was and: re- mained at the Lycoum ever since. Vestris was right. Miss Fitzpatrick is a well- dressed Woman—death upon satin, and point lace— with a penchant for plate. When she appoars, you will see a lady of thirty, dreesod to perfection, easy and Jady-like in her deportmont, perfeet in tho words, careful in the business of tho scene, never attempting too much, consequently never failing or offending—a pleasing, but not a great actress—one who would take a stand and make her way, if she was let alone and was not puffed up to the skies, nor cliqued to death. But talk of rivalry with Mrs. Nisbett, or evon Mrs. Stirling—bah! that’s simply ridiculous. I observe John Sefton has placed on his bill the name of another lady—Miss Ada Harteourt—the celebrated ‘acting vocalist” (a new term that.) This lady was both “ fat and fair” when last I suw her (if my memory serves me rightly) at that city of cutlers, Sheffield, where she was playing little singirg chambermaids, and introdusing a song be- tween the picces; she had a pretty voice, and was an agreeuble vocal Bat coxcorning her acting, ‘this deponent” is dumb, and her Hugliah tae tion is purely provincial. There was a Miss Clari Hartcourt, also, a very fair character dancer, and a tolerably good personator of such young ladies ag are on the stage technically called ‘‘walking ladies.” Tas #1 me, too 7 Tu ¢ Dow to ** the men critiers.” Mr. Norton, who sppeared at Burton's on Monday evening, is a useful actor, ifhe is not ‘overloaded’ The last two yeas of his pcing Ife have been passed bo- tween the 0!

Egad, I cannot understand that, anyhow. jurton has also, I see, uncerlined James Browne, who, years ago, was an immonso favorite here and throughout the States. Wiil his Robert Macairo ever be forgotten? I saw him last fall at Manchos- ter, delighting the cotton spinners, with this samo. Robert Macaire, Don Crear de Bazan, &e. His re- turn here, i know, will bo gladly welcomed, for he indeed is an actor, and such an one as we rarely seo now. * My. Lyeonder Thomson, I obeerve, also, arrived in the last batch, per Atlantic. You will know lit- tle of him, so I will enlighten you. He hada con- siderable English provincial ieee which in- duced Mr. Spicer, the dramatic amateur author, then lessee of the Olympic thoatre, London, to en- Bago him. (G. V.

I was ple- carded in the streets as “tho greatest hit sivco Keane,” and all the journals who spoke of mo, ou- logized my performances in tho most extravagant monner. Immodiately I was offered an ongagement te have Drury Lano Theatre opened for me, on Whit- Monday but, thinking the scason unpropitioun, I declined. Some three weeks later, a second offer was made mo, which, for the same reason, I de- clined. At last, @ strong temptation was held out, by ® Mr. Sheriden Smith, (who proved to be e ewindier, but whose character was unknown to me,) which J accepted, for nil the theatres had closed and I bad the town to myself, Although porfoctly awaye of the hot weather, unusual time to open tho large theatro, and many contingencies wore against us, yet I bad nerve enough to risk the chancos-~ trusting to the novelty and the yen meted in my favor that had been manifested at tho Marylovono to carry us through successfully. “Hamlet” was announced, and a report was circulated from tho theatro chat a great bitmight bo expected, judging trom rebearsals.
