And firatly, you must know that your correspondent is one of a party of travelling Americans, seduced over here, on lend” ing at Liverpool, by curiosity and redaced railroad fares. The travel from Liverpool to Dabiin is per- formed by railway and steamer in ten hours, if the ‘weather be fair—but the Irish Channel being as un- eestain in its moods as everything Hibernian, the ‘time is hard to be calculated precisely. The trip we made took but the regulartime. The succeeding @aip occupied at least ten hours more, and almost every soul seasick. The fare was thirty shillings, Bogiish currency, or $7 50, with the privilege of re- turning free within a week. They doa’t ticket your Ihageace, or pay any attention to the person taking ia; therefore you have the additional privilege of watching over it in transitu, and scuffing to get at it on landing or reaching your desti- mation. The conductor you see but once, when he inspects your ticket, and you are left to work your own way, pretty much, along the route. Each first class car contains six seats, and is sepa- wated from the others. The second class cars are very uncomfortable in Hvgland; in Ireland, almost equal to the first. Still, as money seems to be worth @ great deal more here than at home, the chief rush ia for the second class cars, from economical motives. A sixpence here goes as fur as a “quarter” with us, and the vulgar fractious of copper coin are all care- | fally exacted and received. Larring those little inconveniences above speci- fied, the trip is a very pleasant one irom Liverpool t Dublin, as the scenery is at once gentle aud grand, at diferent stages of tue route. The first difference thst strikes the American eye is the geueral aspect of the country under cultivation, the small plots of id 80 carefully tended, the close clipped hedges | ef green, and the freshness of the foliage, to which | the eternal damp, wet, drizzle, aud rain which role here impart a richness unknown in lands of sunshine. As you enter Wales, the mountains (spelt with tore Be and a W) raise their cloud-capped heads, and present those alternations of views and shifting ebavges of light and shade that make mountain sce- , mery 60 striking. Their villages, too, look different | from the Enygiish,and you could fancy yourself in | Manhattan, looking on the steeple crowned beaver | hats the market women have worn for many geuera- | fions, and still wear, in spite of the “ encroaching | Baxon” and his habits. It would bea “model” for | Genin or Leary. | But as you are whisked through Wales at the rate | ef about twenty miles an hour, of course you have to | take rather a flying glance of its scenery, except | during stoppages, which are numerous. There are many objects uf interest on this route. The chief of | these is Conway Castle, an old ruin in excellent Se which gives a good idea of the tall kept by the bold barons of old, (who were | nificent old robbers, it must be confessed,) and | ill seems to frown down defiance on the neat | Modern town which nestles within the area of its old | ‘walle, and is built into it, as it were. We gazed with | est OD | — The rock whose haughty brow | Frowns o'er Coaway’s sable Good, en which Gray located the last of the Welch harpers. | But of all the heroes with unpronoanceable names, who flourished thereabouts, this poetic record aloae was associated in our memories with the plice. It might have been fancy, but we thought the atinos- phere smelt of lecks, and oue of our party swore he maw a Welch rabbit. As he had one for supper the might before, we suspected him of indulging in the 8 of Memory. The two bridges at Conway—the suspension and tubular—are two great trivmphs of engineering skill. ‘They are, of course, well known to your intelligent Senders: but merely to refresh their memories I would state the fact of their paternity being due to the genius of Telford and Stephenson respectively. The suspension bridge is the most striking to the eye, but engineers award the palm to the tubular as more daringly original in its conception and execu- then. Both seem to be “ dancing on nothing,” the supports below being dispensed with—in fhe one case the bridge being sustained by chains mbove ; in the oter Geant self-supported by the cohesive power of the iron plates supporting it. You firavel over the one in the open air, bat pass in dark- wees through the tube in the other. Travelling ongh a tube was a novel sensation to most of us. Light holes pierced at intervals made darkness wisible, as the train clattered through it with a wauffied dram melody of rattling iron. At the Menai Btraits, the two experiments are again repeated on a larger scale. The ai bridge which spans the straits is a most picturesque objec with its airy ftracery of chains clearly defined against the sky, Waving in graceful festoons, and sustaining a sliglit, fairy looking fabric, with little pee things craw- ling over it, reminding one of the sights seen b Capt. Lemuel Gulliver in Lilliput. The tubular ia Gecorated a ee side by a colossal lions = granite, in the Egyptian style, looking very grim an antic, and mech more imoreseive than most of living lions I have seen.

Within the last week, bowever, most people, whether in London or Pais, reem to of peace, putt ng the dest face he oan on the wn- p'eusant eperation. And what bas given rive to future? Why, certain meaningless d plomatic pro positions have beea sent from the great mediating powers—placters, as it were, for the mperor’s honor ; and nothing else is anticipated but that he will apply them, be relieved—become himself agin. different tale, and perhaps somewhut more to be relied on than any we have had for the last tree weeks, It tells us cf both parties : first, that the Sultan, hopeless of all success of friendly negotia- tion, and alarmed by news of the Rassian fleet's 3p- proach to the Bosphorus, sent to request the imme- diate presence of the French and English navies before Constantinople, and that five ships of war are now snugly ensconced in Billiski Bay, within gun shot of its walls ; and, on the other haad, we hear that his Czarship now haughtily demands, be- fore even entering on negotiations, a distinct recog- nition by the Sultan of the justice of the Muscovite claims to the virtual sovere gnty of a large portion of Abdul Medjid’s Christian subjects; in the next place, distinctly refusing to withdraw his forces from the principalities until the Porte has settled the long- pending and still unsettled account alleged to be due to Russia for her former occupation of these pro- vinces, accompanied by a further demand for pay- ment ef the expenses incurred by the Czar in the yrerent campaign ; besides which, he declines oven entering into spy negotiations with the mediating powers until the combined fleets have left Besika thore who reflect on his prospects and condition here. Sadder than tears is some mirth—the reckless ness of the hopeless or the thoughtless, who can never rise, and such is the condition of the humble Jrishman here. The castes of India are not more rigidly kept apart, and escape from hereditary posi- tion harder there than here. The revolutionary movements in Ireland have been more like the writhings of the blind worm—mani(estations of pain—t the warning rattle of the snake, ready to strike, and hence the masses ol Ircland, deprived of the few who were ca- pable of marshalling them to resi-tance, are now in @ more hopelessly quiescent condition than ever bef@e. Not that I would advocate any more such ions as they bave attempted, making even ry Iudicrous, and the language of honest indig- nation sound like rhodomontade, all noise and fury, signifying nothing. But the condition-of Irelaad questi.n presents a problem that must be solved by riti-h statesmanship, sovner or later. Jt is evident to every man that comes here, that no amajgamation has yet taken place between @e conquering ard the subject race—that is, the masses of tee latter. The intexrity of British domiuion here rests on the religious hatred of Catholic and Pro- testant, which is very cordial, flaming out again with fresh fury on every pretext. Jt is neither love, nor entirely fear, that keeps Ireland “united” to England, but more that ‘odium theologian,” the feud between Orangeman and Papist. Thetwo races do not even speak the same language yet. Even the cabmen, who come most in contact with the Maglish- speaking population, speak with an accext that is hard to be understood by unpractised e and the plebs (or masses) have a brogue “ rich’ indeed, the gesture giving their meaning better than their words. This question is about as troublesome as The last London Times gives a debate on one of the Irish “ Crime and Outrage” bills before Parliament, from which those facts are gleaned that follow :— Opposition having been made to the passage of the bill, on the ground of the “traao- quillity” of Ireland, Sir J. Young said it is “ to guard against the baneful effect of Ribbonisi@, and the great misfortune of that system was, that however pea the state of the country, it was that it mae not exist, and lately even several parts of Ireland had been served with menac- ing notices. Though the South and West were now perfectly tranquil, he was sorry to say there was still Further on in the same debate. the fact was stated that there were twenty-one couuties under proclamation, and in some of there great apprehensions and tendencies to out- rage. ‘Under proclamation” means in a state of pupilage, inhabitants not permitted to have arms in their possession, and subject to other restrictions. The vote on postponement of the passage of this bill stood 23 to 141,sa20wing the idea entertained in Par- liament a8 to the actual condition of Ireland. ‘The report of the commissioners appointed for that Parpore, gives some interesting information a3 to rish emigration, commencing in 1847 and running down to 1553. Here are some of the statistics :— 1847, Emigration. é « 219,885 1848 mo 181,316 218, na 1250 1851 1852 sees eens —Making a grand total of 1,250, years. ° The annual remittances to friends at home have aleo"been very large . 087 000 emigrants in six 1848... £460,000 1849 540,000 1850 957,000 1851 990,000 1852. 1,404,000 The population of Ireland is rapidly decreasing.

This reasoning, it is scarcely necessary to dwell upon. If it pleases them we are content, though in every aspect the view is peculiar. The corn trade of Limerick must be very thriving at present. One house there has recently made a contract with the French government for breadstuffs, of £250,000, by which it cleara £2,000. As far, how- ever, as the prosperity of Irelend is promoted by emigration, the Reporter and the Times are at isgue; for long and loud are the wails of the latter over the | Trish exodus, which has compelled the importation of English laborers into Ireland in harve*t time. Formerly the flood set the other way; but the land “where there's bread and work for ali,” has absorded much o! that “ bone and sinew,” and will take away much more. The Gelway line is much talked of in Dublin;and the word America is here a potent spell to conjure with in all ranks of society.

If, nevertheless, all should still end in smoke, without striking a blow or pulling atrigger, we must ascribe it not to any urwilliag- ness on the part of the principal conteuding powers to cut each other’s throats, but to the dearthon both sides of vhut crop which comes from the disgings— that money which has very properly been desouaced as the magna trritumenta malorum.

We desire to be at peace with the whole world—nay, we are most anxious so—for we live and thrive by the arts of peag. is not, indeed, our wish to meddie with ternal tyranny iy which the Pop iadions of Abstria and Russia are shut outfrom allthe benefits of re- ligious toleration, free trade, puttic discussio: trial by jury; but when the prtentates of those countries propose to extend their tyranute infigence, and make others feel the oppressors rod, matt come altogether changed, nor canwe, or oz! as the vanguard of liberty—to suffer these aly: powers furtber to curtail the freedan of tie Ex world; besides, we canuot afford that they long be suffered to do s0; and no fovernmen’ ever constituted, can long continueto exist i land which is subject to the suspition of en ing to thwart this resolution of the nation against tyrannical aggression.

Albort Smith is going to visit the vocal Memnon soon, and he is sure to come howe and tell us all about it.) However it may be, certain it is that the invention of music dates back beyond the night of ages aud ages past; for in the time of Laban, the escorts of all etrangers warbled forth plaintive strains to an accompaniment of in- strumental music, about 1,856 years betore the birth of our Saviour.

An- tonio was fortunate enough to escape, and he forthwith sought safety ia another clime. After “hair breadth eecapes,” he reached Italy, and at Rome joined the Pope's body-zuard, and subsequent y lost his heart to a bright eyed lass of the Holy ‘ity. Matrimony was the first result, and 2 happy one too, tor Antonio Jullien had to congratulate him- self upon an alliance with a lady of some distinc- tion, both in birth and mental acquirements. The second result of the union of this affestionate couple occurred near Sisterone, in the French Alps, on the 23d of April, 1812,«at a “Chalet,” where “our” Jullien'was born. Antonio Jullien yearned to see his native land—bright, sunny, ian ing France— again, and thither were they wending their steps when Providence bestowed upon them a son and heir. This joyous event caused a change in their original plans, and Antonio Jullien took up his quarter at Sia- terone, surrounded by the towering Alps, and truly proud and happy in the love of his charming pees and in the growing affection of his little boy. ‘hey both, with longing anxiety, looked forward to the hour “when young love's first voice would lisp forth Lis parents’ names.” At Sisterone Antonio Jullien taaght singing and strange to say his little son evinced 2 great dislike to all musics] sounds; indeed, it was not till about the age of eight or nine that an intaitive genius for har- mony displayed itself, to the great joy of his parexts. The boy had been allowed to rua wild amidst the mountainous scenery of the vicinage, where, doubt less, those ancient imusic-master:-—the birds—had, with the excellence of their instinctive musis, the brilliancy of their yariations, and the neatness of their execution, effected that which was beyond the power of his father, i. e. the developement of our he- ro’s genius, It is said, thatat thistime he acquired the various soles from “‘detemps, en temps,” hear- ing them, and with so much excellence that he could repeat them with astonishing precision and tiucncy. His father. surprised at the prospect of being able to make hir little boy an accomplished artist, cultivated his youthful voice, and taught bim many pretiy eh and ff n ditties, aud gave concerts in the incipa f Southern France, whore is “ le the young warbler was regarded foad enthusfasm.

Youtg Jullien’s heart and soul berned with a se- erct be ba ove of the musical art, and, with Knaosack on he footed it to /a belie Puris, with full devermi- pation of evercoraing ali difficulties and entering the Conservatoire, Six months had scar-ely elapsed wheu industry an reverance met with its just reward. The ever memorable Cherubini, then the director, took a great fancy to young Jullien, and established bim almost as a private ééve, and particularly di- rected the attention of his protége to the study of sacred music. The advantage accruing from the tuition of £0 great a maestro, as may be surmised, kindled the fire of the aspirant, and’ bronght torth all the vatural genius, as would the bright, warm rays of the sun develope in blushitg succession, the beautiful tints of some sweet rosebud. He, indeed, made rapid strides. and his proficiency attracted the attention, vey, more, secured to him the friendship of Signor Rossini, (it is not necessary for me to in- form your inusical readers anything about that great and favorite composer,) whose kindaess has been unbounded, and by whom he was perfected ia coun- terpoint. On quitting the Conservatoire, through the interest of hie illustrious and taleuted patrons, M. Jullien obtained the important appointment of Di- recteur of the celebrited concerts of the Champs Elyeces, and the balls of the Académie Royale. this position he was enabled to make himself a pub- lic favorite, and his repeated successes caused him to lease the Lotel of the Duke of Padua, in the rue Vivienne, (now Les‘ Villes de France,) which he fitted up as a grand promenade concert hall. From the exquisite execution of its musical performances, and the splendor of its bals costumés, it long enjoyed la vogue des Parisiens. Inthe year 1839, owing to a cabal formed by the managers of the Paris theatres, consequent vpon jealousy at the snecess of the musi- cal Entrepreneur, be migrated to the capital of /a perfide Albion. About this period he opened { | old Drury Lane theatre, with the pit boarded over and joined to the stage, forming one gigantic ballroom, for promenade concerts, e theatre was tastefally fitted up asa winter-garden. From that time till uow, (a8 you have thonght proper to attract him to your shorer,) bis recherché entertainments have been en vogue in town and in all the pre aD cities throughout the United Kingdom; this, too, amcngst all grades of society, from the humble and over-worked artisan down to (I am aware of the re- verse), the illiterate and besotted aristocrat, who, ap- plauding with his white kids emits an affected ‘‘ bra- vissimo”’ from his empty noddle. Heaven pity all such in these enlightened times! “ Liberté toute entieré |” Tn accordance with M. Jullien’s generally admitted liberality, he opened old Drury in 1847, a8an English | Opera, avd prodaced not only a first-rate repertoire, but provided artists ot celebrity to interpret it. In | this season, our great English tenor, Mr. Sims Reeves, made his délit. From time to time, he has brought forward Mes- dames Persioni, Anna Zerr, Jetty Treflz, Love, An- na Thillon, Fitzwilliam, and many other female vo- calists of celebrity, and Messrs, Pischeck, Forme and Whitworth. He has never allowed any instru- mentalist of talent to lay aside unheard, and was ever on the qui vive to give rising talent a helping hand. Messieurs Vivier, Koenig, Wuille, Reickart, the brothers Mollinhauer, and a host of others, but for M. Jullien might have wasted their talents in some out-of-the-way continental town. One word or two more, and I will wind up with my autograph. “Pietro il Grande,” produced with great briliancy and success at the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden, was M. Jullien’s last triumph. All I have now tosay is to request in the name of our | metropolitan flay-going public, that you will treat M. Jullien well, and mind and not keep him too long, or “look out for squalls.” ON C.igAR, The Gossip of the French Metropolis. Oar Paris Correspondence, Panis, July 28, 1853.

It is sencrally rumored here that the only cause of this change in the projects of the imperial couple is the uncertainty ofthe events which may arise out of the Turkish qnestion in Europe, and that Louis Napoleon being obliged to have daily reports from his ministers, and to be ready at avy momeat, cannot leave Paris in such an important period of his reign. The true reason of the postponement of Lonis Napeleon’s | journey to the Pyrenéea is to be attributed to the impossibility of the police finding out the ramifica- tions of the plot made to murder the Emperor during his journey, by the secret societica of the red repub- lican party. Despite all the exertions made by the Prefect of Police and his agents to discover the se- cret of these societies and their members, they can- not succeed, owing to the manner in which they are divided, knowing not the names of each other, and be'ng only subscribed by figures and numbers. Such isthe truth about the postponement of the voyage to Eaux Bonnes. It has been decided that there would be much danger for the Emperor to go there; and though he was not afraid, he thought it prudent to yield to the wishes of his ministers and family. Thus it is certain that Louis Napoleon is still at St. Cloud, though several of the news pepers of the departments had asserted that the Emperor had arrived at Bordeaux incog- nito, under the neme of M. and Mme. Ducos, the prevent Minister of Navy, and his wite. This is the mort siupid canard ever invented by the French pre:e. In the meantime the old Castle of Pau, in the deportment of the Basses Pyreneés, which has been given to the Emperor, has been newly re- fitted; allthe apartments have been furnished with new furniture, and the ancient tapestries, which were stored in the cloretsof the chateau, huag in their former places. Many artists have alzo beon sent from Paris, and new livery stables built. Inthe northern part gardens, and terraces have also been arranged. In short, every tuing was ready to receive the imperial conple; but it proves useless—they will net go. Now, such are the plans adopted for the autumn by the Emperor.

This man, named Monet, was a very ill-tempered character, - and much feared by his countrymen. He had con- * ceived, for private and political motives, the most violent hatred against the Mayor of Ures. The decree ot Louis Napoleon relative to the ad- mission into France of grain from Great of duty, is much approved by the whole population. The quantity of grain grown in France is calculated to amount to from 145 to 150 millions of hectolitrea. The quantity of flour used 11 France amounts to 380 hectolitres a day, which is 30,000 tons. ‘The aver yor. importation of grain in France is 1,225, ectolitres, whilst the exportation is only 730,000 hectolitres. The flour exported out of is quite considerable, bat it ouly consists of flour made with foreign grain, particulsily at Marseilles. The importation of the grain wanted for the atimentation * of Franee would surly abuve 2,000 ships a year, avd ithas been deemed prudent aud necessary to have a depot of grain at the disposal of France in its vieiniiy: to have an immediate supply in case of scarcity. The budget of the city of Paris is now given te the deliberation of the municipul council, and I have found out that the custo:n house duties of the city are quite diminished. They only amount to 35,500, 000f., whilst ten years ago they were 40,000,008. ‘The flower trade has much increased, and as there is. also a tex upon the introduction of pate in Paris, 1%) have to mention it in this article.

The barking houses are now buying public securities, and the mason works has been resumed ona large seale. Several projects of railways have just been submitted to the government. Different lines of trans-atlautic steamers are also ready to be organized. All these are signs of pros- eriiy; but how long will this state-of things last 2 Ko one can tell. The imperial government has ordered that the prefectures of the de;artments should be visited by special inspectors. The nine persons named to form that duty will leave withia a few days.. They ma be assisted by several members of the Council of tate. We have bad the visit in Paris of M. Prondhon, the renowned socialist, who wasallowed to come here, to make several rearches ut the graud library of Rue Richelieu, for a work which be intends publishing. Proudhon is always the same, more republican than any other, and critieising oa the chiets of demagogur. Having been asked to tell if he entertained any hope to see another 1848, “1 wilt have no such hope,” lied be, ‘til 1 see Mazzini, Kossuth, Louis Blanc, dru Rollin & Co. kept. prisoners at Charenton, and detuired in irons.” VProudhon is writing a philoso- phical book on theology. ‘The best news is received from Corsica, where, ac- cording to the reported news, all the most redoubted bandittu have been taken priyoners by the police. It is expected that within a few years the revengefal manucrs of the Corsicans will be tutally reformed. The Grand Duke of Tuscany has changed the sen- tence of Guerazzy, Petrachi, and Valzanchy (deten- tion fer Jife) into that of banishmeut. These three political exiles will have to give their word of honor not to remain ip or return to Italy. They are to be taken on board of a steamer to Marseilles, from whence their intention, 1 am told, is to depart for the United States, the laud of the free. ‘The affair of Kostza, the refugee naw detained at the Consulate of France,at Smyrua, is still unsettled. The great question is to know whether the ex-Secre- tary of Kossuth is an American or not. I have been told by an American geutleman who visited me y@s terday, and who had jast arrived from Smyrna, this alfair was of a most extraordinary kind, Fir of ail, Kortza never went to America with Kossat but with Apollonia Jagello and Colonel or Gi Ujabrs,e long timo before Koccouth; and, sec the Austrian Consul did not wish to take hold him, but he had given orders to his satellites to ossessivn of a certain Kassel, who was accused aving been plotting against the life of the Empei of Austria. Unforturately Kostza was captured his place; and when the Consul saw the mistake, ‘was too late to acknowledge his wrongs, and he pi rat inorder to maintain hia dignity, to have ifieulty with the United. States. Now, at the misunderstanding between the United Stat Austrian governments is quite serious. The and Hungarian referees living at Constantinople gave a serenade to dr.

Such is the state of affaira ee A lctter received from Smyrna, dated tl 3th inst., assures us that the St. Louis had quitte that port a3 soon as the two Austrian fr! lona and Novarra had entered the harbor; but L doubt the fact, for it is derived from an English gource. ‘The question of the Oriental difficulties is still one of the most confused which has ever existed.

But inthe meantime, the Turkish most solemnly protested inst the Russian troops into its territ ory; and the people of Constantinople manifested their anger as soon as the news was known in the city. According to repert, it has been decided that the two British and Frenth fleets could not remain longer at Besika, and that they Lad to proceed into the harbor of Constanti- nople. Adiniral Hamelin kad taken the command of the French flect, and Admiral La Susse hed re. turned to Touion. 4 Mach talk is entertained here, among the Die Americass, of a secret treaty which bas been signed by Commodore Mtringham, of the Unit States Navy, and the Saltan, by which the harbor o Marmarizzahad been granted to Anivrica, for the sar of $500,000, which would be paid, cash down, ir gold specie.
