On the 25th of February last the American ship Coour de Leon, Captain Tucker, bound to ‘China, fell in with the Datch ship Henrietta Maria. Capt Tucker boarded her, and found she was navigated by a Chinese crew only Their story was that they had risen against the Datcbmen, and compelled the captain to run ever to Cochin-China, where they allowed him and bis officers to take to their boats, and ‘hey were then trylpg to make their way to China. Captain Tacker took p ssession of the Henrietta Maria after considerable difficulty, and brougbt her to Siogapore. The authorities here sent over to Batavia to give notice of the circumstances. The Yaukee hoisted the American flag on board the Henrietta Maria, nd the Singapore authorities sent over an armed force and hauled it down. A Dutch vessel of war now arrived and took away the ship, and the Batavia authorities say that aay claim for @alvage can be duly decided by the courts o” Batavia. Captain Tucker then put the matie’ into the hands of the Consul, and the American sloop-of-war Portsmouth osen- sibly went to see about it, but as I believe to take in the ratification of the American treaty with Siam. ‘The dates frou Foo Choo are to the 30th of April, and mention the near approach of the rebels, causing considerable uneasiness among the merchants and ‘wealthy people, who were removing their property.

One's first impressions of a great capital like Pa- Tis are like one’s first trowsers, first visit to the the- atre, first prize at school, first pocket money, first flirtation, first anything—in fact, something too de- licious to be described. We know very well what makes New York a great, wealthy, prosperous city. We can't beip knowing that it is commerce—we tumble over too many boxes and bales to forget it. We see written in every man’sface trade, busisess of some kind or other. But Paris isa place where people seen to live only for pleasure. Paris is all show—all glitter. Our people have too few holidays —too little relaxation. In Paris every Sanday is a féte. Of course in such a state of society there are &@ great many people, foreigners especially, who make excess of erjoyment and soon become blasé ; bat your true Parisian is achild always, while in Americe so severe isthe discipline of life, at least among the poor, that one can bardly remember that be ever was a child at all. The last letter of this series left the tourist in the Rue Saint Lazare, afver an exceedingly comfortable railway tide. We will go now, if you please, to the Hotel de France et d’Angleterre Rue des Filles de St. Thomas. The French hotel is quite a different affair from the Astor or the 8:. Nicholas. ‘This evtablishment is built in the shape of a quad- rangle. *itb a courtyard in the middle, garden, Xc., &ec. We enter und-r an archway, and on the right is the porters office.

I paid for a lite parlor and bedroom on the third floor sixty conts a day, twenty cents for service and twenty cents (per week) for light. You may dine at the table d'hote, by wiving notice in the morning, for sixty cents, or you muy have dinner in the restan- rant at 8 fixed price, sixty cents, eighty cents or @ doilar. Each dinner is three courses, dessert and half a bottle of ordinary claret. Breakfast can be bad good for forty cents. No one takes break fast (which includes three dishes) before ten, or dines before six. Inthe summer no one takes tea or supper. So you see how it foots up:— Apartments and service, per day Breakfast and dinner............ ‘Two dollars a day, and you may choose yourown hours. This is much cheaper than any Of the so- called European hotels in New York, and it is cer- tainly much pleasanter than the hotels upon the American plan. We have not the splendid parlors, there ie no gasin the rooms, nor water, but the partments are very comfortable, aod the beds superb. Whether the Paris plan would succeed in New York I cannot say, but I know that if I must hotel | prefer those of Paris to the great caravansarios of New York.

In fact, there is the most entire poraceal security, and the contrast with New York is very pver eee to American pride. In Paris the publi> is protecte everywhere. The police are always within call, and the men are exceedingly polite. In fact, the na- tion’s strong point is iteness. I think that a Frenchman is occupi half the time in saying, “Thank you” and “Pardon, monsieur!” Tue pudlic carriages ure under the strictest rule, Less than thirty cents is the regular fare within the city, and the dearest carriage is only forty cents aa hour. The coachman mus: give you a printed card with his number and price upon it, and you reckon the fare for yoerself. If he once attempts to swindle any one, his hcense is taken away, and he can oe ver drive a coach again in Paris. "I allude to these things because a good city government in New York might easily imitate them. Of late the price of everything in Paris bas increased, but one dollar here, in most instances, will buy as much as two in New York. Talluded above to St. Cloud, which is just now the imperial residence. It 1s part of a Frenchman's religion to go into the country oa Sunday, when she weather is ple: it. The magnificent park of St. Cloud is always open to the public, and the drive from Paris is about 15 minutes by railway. In the station there is of course a rash, but no crowding, as with us. First class passengers are placed in their carriages—never more than the carnage will seat comtortably—tnen the second class and the third—each class admitted to the station by ee doors. Arrived at St. Cloud we find seve- ral thousand people, ali well dressed and polis. The ladies—I am sorry to say it for their sakes, and glad for ours—are not so pretty as we have them at home, nor are they 80 well dressed as in New York. The present fashions here are detestable. The Pa- risian women generally have complexions varying in color ftom light drab to dark brown; and con- trasted with the clear red and white of our Yankee Isit is much in our favor.

Greiet has written a letter to Deputy Marshal DeVoe, thanking that officer for kindness extended to him on board the ship. Grelet was delivered by DeNoe to the Prefect of Police at Paris on the same day that the Arago arrived at Havre. No doubt the punishment of these men will be as severe as the prosecution has been sharp. The Rothschilds desire to give a strong example to their other employ¢s, and justify themselves to the share- holders. Jt 1s a rather expensive business, however. 1 mast postpone till another day a description of the places of amusement in Paris, and close this with a word about the artists and the managers, for which latter article the present is rather a strong week. We have in Paris the directors of the opera at Milan, Madrid, St. Petersburg, New Orleans (Boudoisque), New York (Ullman and Paine). Ull- man has engaged Frezzolini, the prima donna of the Grand Opera (italian) here for several seasons. Frezzolini is one of the most popular artists in Europe, and very bandsome withal. The same manager is treating with Roger, the greatest of French tenors, Formes, the basso, and ‘Vieuxtemps, the violinist. Frezzolini sails for New York august 8 Madame de Wilnoret has taken a summer resi- dence at Passy,and commenced her studies under the best masters, Miss Fensler is here, and has, I believe, an engagement in London next winter. Rachel has returned to Paris. [t is statod that she is near to ber death from consumption. She did in- tend to play im # one-act piece, “Le Moineau de Lesbie,” at the Francais, in order to save her salary (28,000 ver annum), which is cat down one- half while she is ill, but the doctors would not allow her to d> so. Lumley, of Her —> theatre, London, oxs made an offer to the 6 iders of th New York Academy of Music to bring over his whole company next year. The direction declined the offer; however, so you will still have the Opera by fits and starts. Those directors are fond of art, indeed! Legisiation against Obscene Prints and Books —speech of Lord Lyndhurst in the House of Lords, A very amusing and interesting debate took place in the English House of Lords on Jane 26th, on a bill of Lord Campbell's to prevent the sale of obscene books and prints —a trade in which \t is said considerable capital is engaged in that city. The bill proposed to give to the police a power of search and seizure, 02 a warrant to be procured from a magistrate upon affidavit. It came up on a motion for the eecond reading. Lord Lyndhurst, an old gentle man of Pinety years, in opposing the bill created mach amusement by bis speech, showing as it did considerable familiarity on his part with books and works of art not re markable for modesty of expression. Lord Lyndharat is & Yankee by birth, the son of the great painter, Sir John Copley. The Congress of the United States was recently engaged on a somewhat analogous measure, empowering Custom House officers to se\ze obscene books and prints imported into the country, and as well on that accosnt as on account of the vencrable years of Lord Lyndhurst, a republication of bia speech on the «uestion is apropos and interesting -— Lord Lyspnrrer—While giving foll credit to my noble friend opposite fer the feelings which have promp ed nim to bring forward this bill, I entirely agree with my nobie friend on the wooleack that it will wholly fail in (us object, And that itie unwise ant imprudent to poke into these questions and agitate the public miad ta respect to them My noble friend's aim is to put down tbe gal» of obscene Looks and print; but what tthe interpretation which is to be put on the word “obscene?” I can easily conceive that two men will come to entirely different conclusions as to ita meaning. i have looked into ‘Johnson"’ to see what definition be gives of the word, and I flad that he says it is “something immodest, something which causes un Chaete ideas, something \nconsiatent with chastity of mind.’” fre the ‘efinitions which he gives of the word.
