FRANCE. Elections in Paris—The Situation—Prospect of the Contest—Attitude of the Goverament-- The Candidates—Rochefort’s Retnrn—So- cialism Rampaut—Meetings and Electioneers lng. Panis, Nov. 6, 1869, Paris isin the turmoil of another election. Four of the Deputies elected to the Corps Logisiatif from the first, turd, fourth and eighth districts of this city were at the same time elected in four of the rural districts. They chose, or “0; to repre- sent thelr rural constituonts, belng thoroughly con- vinced that the vacaut seats thus created in Paris Would inevitably be filled by candidates of their own par aa the opposition has long been eager to bring forward. In consequence of this option the governiicut kas eonvoked the electors in*the Several (iisiricts Mentioned for the and 22d inst., ami the new Deputies are to be chosen on laces in the mh meets 0; 1 In view of these facts, and of the imme: \nges that have @ccurred tn various ways throughout the empire since the general elections in May and the Emperor's message in July, politics, candidates, electors and newspapers are ingt now all huddled into one pot, a seething cauldron at that. Nothing else ts thought, talked or heard of save “the elections.» War with Prussia and mighty Bismarck, Father Hya- cinthe and the Ecumenical Council, Sp: and the coming King from Genoa, even that favorite topic, the Emperor's health, are all cast into the back- ground by the incessant bustle and uproar made over the elections. To speak truth, tls is not all merely owing to the fussimesa of the candidates and aspi- Tants on tle scenes. he entire French public regard tle pending elections with an cager and un- usually significant eye. There is no doubt but tbat public opinion in the rural regions, as well as in the capital, has undergone a rapid change since the late grants mae from tke throne. It been rendered more bold aud exacting than it has ever dared to be before under the second empire, aud this bold- ness and ¢xaction has been entirely inspired by the Press, particularly by the metropolitan press, Which, aga matter of course, wields the cleverest pens to be found in French journalism, Exciting phillippics and pungent diatribes nave not been Jacking in its columns to stir up the population to fts lowest depths, To exuibit the change thus brought aoout, let me, employing tne varty terms current here, remark only this:—In May the opposition candidates were ealled “drreconcilabies,” and their electors were dubbed “liberal; in November the same candidates are styled the “unoathed” (ali who refuse to take ny outh of allegiance to the Emperor and his dynasty), while the electors have become “irrecon- cilabies.” In May Mesars. Gambetta, Bancel, Ernest Picara and Jules Simon, in the four districts irom which they now retire, received 99,319 votes; the government or oMcial candidates received only $1,805 v * AS things Dow stand, the system of oficial candiaactes having been abandoned, the gov- ernment has put up no candidates, for it is conceded by the oficial sheets that it could not draw oif 500 votes from the “unoathea” and “irreconcilables.” Hence or color, are ition candidates, of w. ver feather aving things all their own way. It is a little among themseives, but y allowed that they i come out all right by tue 2ist, when the cable will be able to inform you of the winning names. Of course, if the “un- oathed” (inassermentés”) are returned, Napoleon III. wiil nor allow them to take their seats, ana Varis will have four empty chairs in the Corps Legisiatf. Itis about this little item or the practicability of taking or not taking the required oath of allegiance that organs and candidates are now scuilling. The more reasonable of the party claim that it will never do to lose four seats. The fire-eaters pretend that four seats filled would count for nothing, whtle four empty cliairs, upheld as they would be by 100,000 Parisian electors, would go a great way 1p breaking up the present state of things—in fact, would shake thelrempty backs at the Emperor until he should fallvo pieces through mere fright So waxes the contest, altilough itis more than probable that the candidates who will be elected, rather than forego the honor of sitting in the Palais Bourbon among the chosen few, will be disposed to swallow any oath or oaths propountted to them.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 1, 1860, Since the departure of the Empress of France the Suitan has recetved visits from the Crown Prince of Prussia, the Italian Prince Duke d’Aosta (an Adm ralof the Italian Marine) and the Prince of Hesse, son-in-law of Queen Victoria. These have been lodged by the Saltsn in his palaces on the Bosphorus and treated with a hospitality which calls to mind those of the older Calipbs of Arabla—even ef Haroun al Raschid himself. They visited all of the more interesting points on the Bosphorus and the curtosi- tie: tamboul, the main arsenal and the splendta ordnance depot of Tophamb and its workshops, now ih excellent condition, under the charge of his Excel- lency Halil Pacha. They had an opportunity in the latter of examining the Springfield rifes \ately pur- chaged in the United States, with which the Pacha is extremely well satisfled. 7 e have now al! taken their departure for Dgypt, tobe present at the opening of the Suez Canal, The only guest with the Sultan i Francis Joseph tiapsburg, Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, who, with a large suite, resides tn the Sultan’s own palace of Dolma Daktcha, on the European side of the Bosphorus. The arrival of the Emperor has beeu expected here with more than ordinary Interest. Princes have beon so plentiful of © as to attract small attention among the peapic of Stambonl; but an Emperor has never been seen here except this one—Padishah Abdul Aziz, The fact thatthe Jatter has received him in his own palace, in return, It 18 Supposed, for the attention of a sitnilar character pestowed upon him at Schon- brun during the tour of the Suitan, in 1867, has rendered him of more than ordinary importance in the sight of the “Faithful”? Some of the less tolerant, however, look upon him as the great Nemtcha Ghiaour, or the “Austrian Infidel," of whoin they have 8o often heard, and who figures in that The F naracter In the novel of ‘Haji Baba.” apress arrived yesterday via the Danube, the Bastchook and Varna Railroad, The Austrian Am- bassador of this place, Baron Prokesh Osten; his Highness Ali Pacha, the Grand Vizier, and Omar Pacha, the veteran Commander-in-Chief of the Otta- man army, met her Lmperial Majesty at Bustenook, and from thence escorted tim by railroad to Varna, where he embarked 1m the Sultan's largest yacht, the Sultanaw for the Bosphorus and Stamboul. Seven large stcamers of the Austrian Lioyd’s gave free accommodation to all those who wished to go in therm and visit the mouth of the Bosphoras when the Emperor entered. About 2,000 persons profited of this civility. Beside those several other steam. ers, large and small, joined in the affair, ail full of peopie, 80 that the cortége consisted of some twenty steamers orher than those of the Suitan placed at the disposal of the Emperor, Admiral Tegevoft had gone to Varna to meet his sovereign with two steam corvettes, but as these proved to be slower than the Suitanawich they did not reach the mouth of the Straits until long after the Emperor bad disem- parked at the Suitaa’s palace. The spectacie of tue entrée of the Emperor was very fue. ll of the steamers were dressed out in flags of every hue and gize, while the Suitanawich only baa on ber main masthead the tmperial coloca of Austiia, and ‘on the two others the standard of the Padishan. So soon as the Emperor entered the mouth of the Bos- phorus and passed by the famuus “Cyenean Rocks,” the main bacterles opened a running Hire of cannon, ‘This roared terribly, aud was re-ocloed lar and near among the cliffs and valleys of the Bosphorus. No such caunonade has besh heard among the aiplomats ef Benunnnnann and Therassa since the salutes of the allied naval forces of England, France, Turkey and italy, on their way out to actack Sebastopol. All the merchant ships at anchor were more or less decorated with flags, and as tie weather was very fine his Imperial Majesty could not but have been much pleased with the kindly welcome offered him by every one. The bm ‘or, in fui Austrian uniform, saton the bridge of the paddie boxes, surrounded by @ large suiie of Turks, Austriaus and Hungarians. Among the tatcer Was Count Anarassi, once the agent of K ch and an oiicer of Gorgey’s army. He was burned in eflgy in Pesth after the fall of the civil war of Hungary, and for some years did not venture to retura to Lis own home. He remained at large anexile in Paris and London, until the amnesty of the Ewperor allowed him to return to his estates. Bul ail Cangs Lave anend, and even revolutions are forgotten in the bitter and more fearful times wich succeed Wem, Even the greatest revels regata their “lost estate,” and become faithful subjects or citizens Such bas beea the lot of Count Audrassl, now President ol the ituagarlan Diet and the brave companion of tae Emperor Francis Joseph. ‘This ts tie wore remarkable, as lt 18 Understood that he 13 sald to come here as a return visti of the Sultan to Vesth in isé7, when allof the :aagnates turaed out to compliioent hin for the valuabie protection offered to Kossuth and his coyreres, Who soaght a sheiter from tie vindictive arms of Austria and Kussia aiter beiug compelled to tly trom Hungary, As soon as the Suitanwich cast anchor before the Suitan’s palace, the Sultan drew alongside of her, 12 one of his finest state bayes, They embraced each other as vroshers, such bemg the custom of those sovereigns, Who have boen placed over the people, by direct divine tuterposition, Then, leaving the yuchis, preceded by all the suite of the Empress, tre two sovereigns were rowed ashore to tne palace, The ships of war again belched forth volumns of smoke and put the thunders of the sky to blush by tunis uproar. The troops everywhere cheeied, and so did the mouey assemblies im the escorting steamers. Later in the day the Empress made @ short excursion in the harbor and along the yaliey of Stamboul in a small steamer of war, and returned 10 time to dine with the Sultan. To- day, as the latter went to mosque, at noon, the gala was even more spendid than that during the visit of the Empress of France. ‘The local papers make considerable nolse over the visit of the “mpros$, and seem to atiact to it an object of a political character, However, he will proceed nence to Greece and Jerusalem before going down into Bare nate. he bas been fre- quently invited by Ismail Pacha, the Viceroy. Some Suppose that the course of events has laid the desti- nies of Austria and Italy more or less togetuer; that the vauslavisin of Russia threatens both empires alike, and an entente bevween the two sovereigns has become @ necessity. Asatheme for aa argu- ment this notfar froi correct, But as governments havo ho hearts, though great heads in abundance, to imagine any other effective or friendly alliance be- tween the two sovereigns aad peopie, so aistinct are tuese in nature, religion and even habits than others of mutua} protection against a common enemy, is Prepoaterous. ot may now be considered as Eastern cuipires, full of varied eclemenis of discord aad disunion, all growing out of the several seul nationaluites and even diferent religions, , which, when least expected, may imduige in dreams of in- depenteace and separation from the parent stock. ft id still a matter of conjectire whethor or not the Sultan will go ig person to Egypt and atiend tue opeaing of the great canal. The Turks say that their Sultan has not been invited by bis vassal, ine Pacha, and canuot, therefore, go. Some, on the o.ber hand, state that he needs no such invitation, inas- much as Egypt 1s his own property and Ismail Pacha &@ governor general, like many others of the empire. The higher classes, chose tn Office, regard the posl- tivd of things too serious for the Sultan to do so much honor to the quasi rebel Pacha; but others desire, in view of settling the diMiculty, & Vaimadte, that he should put aside all other considera tions and take the slune out of Ismail Pacha, and come down on him when he least ex- pects it, Some say that France does not wish him to be there, 40 a3 not to lessen the position of tue Viceroy, and this is possible; though against this it hag oven asserted that the Empress ld re- quested the Grand Vizier to sete the whole affair before her arrival here, and that this not having been done she rather showed him the ‘cold shoul- der” during ber visit, The most humorous of the on dits is that the Sultan 13 deeply in love with tho fair Empress and ts strongly desirous of going down into Egypt only so as to see her again. Pervaps the Emperor of Austria will exert an influence in the muatier and bring about a solution, thougd he might pe a dangerous rival to the lovesick Sultan in Egypt ENGLAND. Feeling Towards Rome and the Ecumenical Council—Previous Catholic Hierachical As- semblages—The General Councils of the Ohurch—What Has Been Declared, Defined and Accomplished. LONDON, Nov, 8, 1869. The Ecumenical Council, which will assemble this day month at Rome, 1s to be calied ‘The First Coun- cll of the Vatican,” and will be tbe nineteenth gene- ral council of the Catholic Church according to the opinion of the leading, or I might say ot all, the an- thorities of that Church, both Lving and dead, As [ proposed in a former jetier on this subject it may not be uninteresting to give a short account of these eighteen councils that have preceded the one now about to meet and to note down briefly whateach one has done towards atiirmmg, deliniag or condemning doctrines, and that has been the result of each such assembly upon the Church over which its decisions have ruled. And first I will give you a nominal list of these General Councils, dividing them, or rather classifying them, afterwards in such a manner as may make their workings al the more easy to un- derstand. Let me only remind you once more that in writing of historial facts concerning the Catholic Ouurch I have consulted almost entirely Catholic historians and writers, just as I would if engaged upon a@ history of your great repubiic go to Amert- y Can, and not to British or French, writers tor the data upon which to write. P According, then, to the universally received opin- ton among Catholic writers on the subject, the eigh- teen general councils of the Church that have been held up to this time are-— Pa hasrst es first Council of Nice, beld in the year ‘Second—The first Council of Constantinople, held in 331. Third—The Council of Ephesus, held tn 431. Fourti—lbe Council of Caaicedon, heid in 451. wyin—The second Couacil of Constantinopie, held in 553. Steih—The third Council of Constantinople, held in 680. Sei nuth—The secona Council of Nice, held in 787. gith—The iourih Council of Constantinople, in 869, nei—The first Council of Lateran, held tn 1125. nth —the second Council of Lateran, beld in relevent The third Council of Lateran, held in se oeuta—The fourth Council of Lateran, held in ve ntrienth—The first Council of Lyons, hela in 1 Pomrtecnth—The second Council of Lyons, heid in Fiyteenth—The Council of Vienne, held in 1311 Sixteenth—The Counc ot Florence, held in . Sevenicenth—Vhe tft Council of Laterau, held in bh. kighteenth—The Council of Trent, held tn 1545, And nineteonsh, the first Counc of tue Vatican, to be opened December 8, 1809. These eighteen Ecumenical Councils may bo classed under the following four heads:— First—The first of these incindes the eight coun- ciis which head my list, all of which were held in the Bast. Second—The second comprises the four councils heid in the Basilica or Churea of St. Jouu Lateran, alt Kome, aud termed respectively the first, Second, ‘Third and Fourth Counclis of Lateran, which ex- twndea over the years from 114 to 1216, both inclu- sive. Third—The third group, 80 to speak, of General Councils includes the First and Second Councils of Lyons, that of Vienne and that of Fiorence, and the Fifth Council of Lateran—five counciis, extending from 1245 to 1512. Fourth—The fourth classification that of Trent, held in as. Of the first group it may be sald toat the work of those eight was chiefly that of defining theologi- cal dogmas. As I said before, the ‘eight Councils were ali held in the East, and those mostly inter- ested respecting “tuem were Grecks; for they took place before the separation between the Eastern and the Western Churches, The Greeks were always more or less speculative in their ideas, and during the rst ages of the Charch they revelled against the doctrines of the Trinity, of the Incarnation and of the Divinity of onr Saviour. The famona Arian, a Greek by birth, but a priest of Alexandria by occu. pation, was the founder of wnat 1s calied in the Catholic Church the Arian heresy, Hoe proclaimed boldly that Jesus Christ was not equal to God the Father, and waa, in fact, but @ man, aliough with @ sinless nature. This heresy spread all over the ust wi & rapidity that nothing could stop, and was accepted by patriarchs, bishopa, priests and laymen throughout the various Onurches In Africa and Asia. It Was to combat tuis doctring that the first Boumenical Couwacil was called to gether at Nice, in the year and there 380 bishops decided and prociaimed that God the Son is equal and consuostaniial with God the Father, There, also, it was tat tle “Nicene Creed,” which ig an eularge: ment, or development of that which 1% called tne “Apostie's Creed,’ was drawn wp, and is to this day used as the [oman Catoolic Missal, ag well as the Book Of Comron rrayer of tue lrovestant Episcopal Church, About fifty or sixty yeara after the Council of Nice apower heresy ree nto existence, the author of which was Jonius, patriarch of Constantinople. The chief this dovtring was to deny the divinity of the Holy Ghost, the Third Person of the {oly Trinity, includes only This error, or heresy, was also very popuiar, indeed, througuout the East, and numerous Breas who had not recetved the teaching of the Couue! Of Nice, also joined it, At the same time another heresy, tae exact contrary of Arianism, appeared, an has to the present day never veen fully erail- cated from the Easiern Churches, It was termed anichelsm, and pronounced that our Saviour bad no human body, or human nature, but was in all respects divine, and oaly divine. ‘Tho Church was at this period very much divided, indeed. for throughout the Kast the Episcopal authority was almost entirely In the hands of the Arian bishops, the Jay people having embraced Mani- cheism a3 an antidote to it, and the lower clergy aloce holding that would now be termed the true doctrine on these polnts, For ths reason, and also on account of the great laxity of morals which had become prevalent in the Hast, tne first Council of Constantigaple, which ts the second on the list T have given above, was held, and decided the principles of Christian: faith which bad been attacked, This Council mes 1a the year 331, and reaffirmed that which the Council of Nice had pro- claimed, Namely, that God the Son is consabstantial and coeqaal with God the Fathec; and also that our Saviour bad a burman as wellas a divine nature, or that he was a peeeee God and perfect man.’ Hardly, however, had the first Council of Ovnstantinople closed its sittings and pronounced its decisions (decisions Watch, by the way, were confirmed by the Pope of Rome beiore they were promulgated), when a@ new heresy, speculative, of course, as coming from the Easterns, broke out, and to combat it the Council of Ephesus, the third upon my ist, was con- voked in 431, The Council Nice and the First Council of Constantinople had effectually set at rest. the questions respecting the divine nature of God tne Son, and had also spoken out and prociaimed the opinion that Jesus Christ had no human nature to be erroneous. gat 43 yet the Church had not ofm- cially, 80 to speak, defined in whyt mauner or how Christ was the Son of God. About che year A. D, 410 or 415, Nestorius, an archpriest in ‘Coustantinople, began to teach that there were in Jesus Christ two persons united, that the Son of God being one of these persons, aad wholly sanctified the ovher, or human person, but that che former had never died, had never suifered, and had not been born of the Cpe Mary. Consequently that He was born at Bethichem, and who suifered an died on the cross, was the human nature aud human Jorm; but that He who nad ascended imo heaven ‘was the divine nature of tha same being. To com- bat thts doctrine, which seems to us Westerns & kind of word Sg a almost upon sacred subjects, the Council of Ephesus was calicd together, and afirmed that Christ had a divine and a human nature, and that both were anited in the divine person; that it must be said of Christ, and therefore of God, that He was born of the Virgin Mary, suifered, died, arose again and in the sume divine person ascended tuto heaven. The proceedings of tne Council of Ephesus were contirined at Rome, aud Nestorlus Was condemned. Sut the heresy exists still in the East, aud is professed by a very large body of people cailed the Nestorians, who reside chiefly im the pro- vince near tne sie of the ancient Ninevah. But vefore the Coancil of Ephesus had terminated its sitting another heresy (also speculative aud also from among the Greexs) had appeared. This was the peculiar doctrine of Eutychus, head of a mo- nastery at Constantinople, Nestorius had denied tne unity of the person of Jesus Crist; Eutychus denied the duality of iis natures. Here those who heid with the majority were defeated, ‘he Council was held to be of no effect as regards its lator ae cisions, and the bishops appeal to anotuer gene- ral council, which was heid at Chalcedon in A. D. 451, and alfirmed that “Christ was consubstantial with God the Father as regarded His divinity, and consupstantial with!man a8 regarded Mis humanity; perfect in His Qumanity, perfect in His divinity; true God and true Man, without confusion or change of either mature; not divided, but united, or one only Son of God—the word made flesh.”” Thave brought you down to the end of the Coun- cil of Chaicedon, the fourth general council of the Church, and have thus disposed of the first half of the first group of councils, atter which comes the second Council of Constantinople, of which I will treatin my next, as it would take up too much space to finish it in this letter. Criminal Reminiscences—Hare, the Alleged * Accomplice of Burke, the Murderer, Beg- ging in London. The London Echo of November 8 publishes the fol- lowing extraordinary revelation:— A venerable old man is now perambulating Regent street and its vicinity soliciting those ready aims which an enlightened Snglish public is ever disposed to drop into the extended palm of age and indi- ence. The features of this interesting mendicant ave probably been somewhat altered during the forty years which have elapsed since he adorned @ public station (tn tne dock, at Edinburg), or he must have been more generally recognized by the thousands who have bebeld his ertigy at Mme. Tussaud’s. In that famous Chamber of Hor- rors, which has been 80 wickedly called England’s Walhalla, and which - certainly holds out the most formidable threat of eartuly immortality with which we are acquainted, there standin an obscare corner two mean little dwarfish figures, represented as if in eager consulta- Uon. ‘The Visitors, on turning to his catalogue, finds that they are respectively the likenesses ol the no- torious Burke and Hare—tiie former of whom was hanged at Edinburg on the 28th of January, 1829, It the visitor be not old enough torememper the public excitement of that distant period, when even single murders were rarities and the siaughtering of Pant and Horner undrcamed of—or, should we Say, unreported *—he will further read that the two miscreants were convicted of suifocating people tor the sake of se!ling their Vodies (or dissection. burke's crime was then deemed so portentious tuat he had the honor of actuaily adding aword to the Eng- lish language, and the verb, “to burke,” even yet survives a3 & convenient metaphor appicabie to vieleutly suppressed projects, as the gutiiotime records for all generations the benevolent invention of the abbe whose name [t bears.

The value of the jump is $5,013 78, and although the Pope has doubtless received offerings worth much more money, he bas certainly never received &@ more intoresting specimen of the natural riches of the earth. Whether it will ultimately find ita way wo the mint or whether it will form a precious addl- tion to the mineralogical museum remains to be Bech. Bight able-bodied soldiers bore the mass up the Scala Regia, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Oliver and their family, into the Pope's presence—for bis soliness was in expectation of their arrival and the benevolent aifability with which be received the donors, conversing at length with them, impart- ing lis benediction with great warmth, and taking especial notice of the children, showed bow pleased he was with the splendor of the gift . Before the conclusion of Mr. and Mrs, Oliver's audicnce the Pope presented to the latter a very beautiful stone cameo, set wita pearls, representing our Saviour. ‘The ex-Abbé, now Commander Bertinatl, who has been muicated by generai report a8 a special agent irom the itaian government, and has been residing some weeks at the Palazzo di Firenze, has just let Kome, alter having had an audience of ihe Pope and an interview with Cardinal Antoneil!l, As a good Catnollc the quondam abbe deplored the existing rupture between tye two governments, assurrea his jioliness that tte best dispositions prevatied at Florence for the res- voration of jarmony, to obtain which only a lew mutual concessions were necessary, 60 as to loosen @ little the ughtly drawn strings of the present situa- tion.

Pablic Education and Nationality. At a dimner of the directors of the Edinburg Philosophical Institution on Satarday evening no- vember 6, Lord Moncreiff (Lord Justice Clerk) made the following remarks in regard to the education question:— Ido not think the diMculties in the way of the set- tlement of the education question are ecciesiasiic al difiicuities. 1 believe the ecclesiastical dificulties to be mere phantoms. ‘T'be religious question does not stand in the way of Scottish education; there is no sucn diliculty presenting itself in this country. ‘There are no mountains in the path; there are only molehilis, Buta great mauy molehilis are as bad a8 one mountain, or rather a great deal werse, It you find the old accustomed road that you travel full of those little risings they are apt to wip your horse. If it were a mountain you could tunnel it, or make your road round It. lt was overa molechill, t think, that Wiliam IU.'s horse stumbicd and brought that great potentate to tus end. We manage the mountain well enough; it is levelled—there ts a raiiroad carried ever it; and if the molehilis can only be ievelled also, there is noth- ing to impede the career of Scoviish education. I have only one mortification in leaviug public life. Jt 15 not that I bave not succeeded in carrying a measure of education for this country, taough that, no doubt, would have beeu a great and glorious achievement, which 1 should have been proud to have had my name connected with.

LITERATURE. Reviews of New Books. THe PARKS, PROMENADES AND GARDENS OF PATS, Described and considered In-reiation to tho wants of ourown cities and of publie and private gur- dens. By W. .obinson, F. L. 8. With upwards of 400 illustrations. London: John Murray. New York: Scribner, Welford & Co. In 1867 the author of this work, an English bortl- culturist of some reputation, though but little known in the United States, was sent to Paris by the Lon- don Times as correspondent for the horticultural department of the great exhibition. While in France he devoted much time to visiting and inspecting the numerous gardens in and around Paris and to inves- Ugating the French system of horticulture. The result of hig research we have before us in one of the most interesting and instructive of books that have been written and published on the same sub- ject. It is admirably printed, tllustrated and bound, there being nothing in the mechanical execution with which to find fault, It is not unlikely that a majority of our readers have either visited many of the places described here or have read descriptions of them. 1t ts doubt- ful, though, u either the ordinary tourists or the readers have seen or read anything which gives 80 clear and vivid an idea as this book does of the won- derful progress the French have made in hort. cultural science, Mr. Robinson's descriptions are those of the artist. He leaves notlung unsaid and exaggerates nothing. The picture he draws of the Champs Elysées and the gardens of the Louvre and the Tuileries are not less natural than graphic, and the same can be said of his descriptions of the Bots de Boulogne, the Bois de Vincegnes, the Parc Mou- ceau, the Paic des Buttes Chanmont, the Jardin des Plantes and the Luxembourg gardens, tue squares des Batignolies, de Montrouge, du Temple, des Arts et Metiers and several others of minor im- portance, the church gardens and ceine- teries, the boulevards and whe Jardin Fieur- iste and other public nurseries of the city of Paris. He gives due praise to all these places of note, and at the same time judiciously criticises such features in them as, in lls opluion, are susceptible of improvement. But perfection in any earthly work 1s so nearly akin to the impossible that we can readuy forgive any shortcomings apparent in the details, while indulging in the liveliest admiration ot the beauty of the whole. To the present Emperor France ts in- debted to a considerable extent for her rapid advancement in the sctence of horticul- ture. But little in otuer parts of Europe and nothing in America can compare with the gardens of Paris. The book before us opens with a brief account of the Place de la Concorde, from whence we are conducted up the avenue des Champs Ely- sées, with its borders of elms, chestnuts and other rees, to the noble gardens of the sage name. Hero the scene is grand. Although but nine years have passed since these gardens were laid out, they “look an ancient affair, have many respectable speci- mens, conifers, Magnolias, &c., numerous large and well mate banks and beds of rhododendrons, azaleas, hollies, and the best sirubs aad trees generally, with abundant room tor planting summer flowers.” Amid “foun- tains, weeping willows and not less beautiful weep- ing saphoras,” we &re led to a garden devoted to music—"‘The Concert of the Champs Etystes, con- ducted by Musard,’? with which we are ail familiar. After descriving all the features of these gardens Mr. Robinson sketches the Place du Carrousel and then goes into a description of the gardens of the Louvre and the Tuileries, with their diversity of flowers and numerous works of art. ‘rhe Bois de Boulogne is, of course, the great fea- ture among the noted sights of Paris. In 1852 it was a forest, wild, in artistic, ugly. After Napoleon became Emperor he transformed it Into a combina- tion of wildwood and pleasure garden, making it fairly magnificent. Its lakes, waterfalls and cas- cades; its islands, fis Garden of Acclimatization, fliled with an almosi endlesy variety of animals and plants, and the thousand and one other features which distinguish this noblest of isodern works of the kind, torr subjects for deiighttul reading even to those Who have had the good fortune to be eye- witnesses to the scones described. It would, of course, be impossivla for us to follow Mr. Robinson over the entire fleld of bis observa. tion, ‘Todo so would be to demand an amount of space not obtainable ima paper like the HeraLp, with tts vast variety of news, To the gardens, oh &c., diready mentioned as described, we wii add Versailics, Fontamebiead and the Gladiolus: grounds of M. Souchet, the gardens of St. Cloud, Meudon, the peach gardens of Montreuil and the market gardens of Parla. There are numerous others to which we must refer the reader, Not Jeast in importance are those paris of the book which enter upon @ professional and critical review of the Frenca system of horticulture. Upoa the whole Mr. Robinson concludes that it is superior to the Bogiish system, and we have no doubt of its superiority to the American. Indeed, it seems as if our restiess enetey is Incapable, or at least, unwil- lung, to devote itseli to a high development of horti- cultural science, The excuse that we sre a young nation is the jamest of apologies in this ago of progress, How absurd it does appear for ® people that have invented the telegraph and the steamboat to apologize for backwardness in the development’ of tue beautiful on the ground of peak Why can we not bave nurseries th New York ike the Jardin Fionriste of aris? And, for the mat- ver of that, why have we not had, for the past quar- ter of a century, & system of horticulture excelling that of France, which bas really been perfected only kince the coup arétat ? We have not read a page of this book without mentally contrasting New } ork with Paris.

Hobson thinks tho most beautiful garden im Paris? Again, tue opportunity ts ample for making Madison square a garden of surpassing beauty. In point of ornamentation everything has to be done here, Our works ot art are few; the subjects (or them are in profusion everywhere, awaiting the Chisel of tue wculotor.

Ani, for tie maticr of that, do not we, in this city of New York, pay a frightful price for our whistle? Alas, what ® poor, cracked vaudie we do get tor the money! In seventeen years Paris has paid a vast sum, but—when we consider the relative sizes of the two cities—bardly greater than we bave Paid in the same period. We see what bas been done for the Parisians’ money. What has been doue for ours? Ask the politicians! Can one enter Madison or Union square on a summer evening, and seating ourseives, lean backwards, ana inhale to Janguor the fragrance of @ thousand fowers, even as do Lhe Parisians in their numerous parks? 1 no.

Returning to Mr. Robinson and his book, we taxe up nis descriptions of the Jardin Fleuriste and other public nurseries of the city of Paris, ‘these are neces- sary for the proper adornment of the parks. The propagation of piants here 1s carried on to an enor- mous eXtent and with surprising success, In winter tender plants are stored away in caves under the Jardin Fleuriste. Attachod to this garden 1s what we mbt term a college of horticulture, to wiich students of all nations are admitted. The botanfoal library 1s extensive and admirably arrai At Petit Bry, near Nogent-sur-Marne, 1s located the nursery for trees for the buulevards; the nursery for shrubs 18 in the Bois de Boulogne, near the race course of Longchamps, and that for herbaceous plants fs 1n the Bois do Vincennes, We need ual Say that these nurseries are as pecfect as scleuce can now make them. Following in regular ordor we have an Interesiing chapter on trees for city parks, avenues, gardens, streets, &c.; then one on sub- tropical plants for the flower garden, and another on hardy este for the subtropical garden, the two last vamed being most interesting aud instructive “chapters, containing among other things lists of sub- tropical aid hardy herbacesus and anual plants sutted to the climate of England. How iar they Would suit our Americau climate we must leave Lt to the horticulturists to decide. With some of them wo are familiar; with others we are not. The thir- teenth chapter 18 devoted to the plaut decoration of Spariments, refora in tue couservatorica, paling and tho ivy and its usegin Parisian gardens. ‘Tne last named subject we commend as belug especially worthy of a careful perusal. ‘The fourteenth to the nineteenth chapters are de- voted to irutt cuture, The improvement, or, rather, advancement, in this brauch of horticulture uw almost wonderful.

We are not suiiciently versed in horticulture to criticise adversely those of Mr. Rob- ingon’s conciusions with which we are inclined to disagree. Such criticism we leave to the profes- sional boruculturist. But we ieel assured that in general excellence the contents of the volume cath for the highest praise.

Morgan (who, at the request of the Attorney General, has withdrawn hia resignation) strenuously opposed the Motion, statiag that the government wished to have the thing itself in court, 80 that, whetier the gov- ernment gained or lost the case, the litigation might be brought to a climax at once, Mr. §. C. Billings, on behalf of the claimants, sala whatever might be the wishes of the government, it was not probable that the case would be brougnt to @ final disposition inaide of five years, for the parties were determined to exhaust every legal remedy. Judge Durell remarked that after four months’ delay the motion to bond made at tne instant that the government was prepared to go to trial cer tainly came at @ most suspicious time. Mr, Billings explained that the delay had been caused by the diMcuity in getting the sugars released from the atiachiments of creditors, A Judge Durell suid he would hear what the suretios had to say and dectite upon the case afterwards. ‘Two leading sugar factors were offered as sureties, one Swearing to $75,000 of unencumbered property and the other to $300,000.
