Palking of the Counell at the Opera—Im- perialism, Aristecracy and American Democracy at Compeigne—A Royal Supper from a Barracks—What is’ Worn and Will Be the Ton — Dress Materials, Colors, Trimmings and Cut, Roms, Dec, 29, 1869, According to ‘be announcement conteined In my Yast correspondence I forward the answer of my dashionabie friend Vespetro, in Paris, to my com- Dative friend Dorougherty,in Rome. No comment 4s necessary on either production; but 1t may be Anteresting to your lady readers to know what the two friends look like who inform your reaaers through me on what te going on im Europe while J ‘am still so full of Egypt. Dorougherty is a little what the root of his name Amplies, ‘rough’ on theories and principles, but he is very sensitive on certain points, as will later be Giecovered after clover acquaintance, Personally he stands six feet high in his boots and a few inches over. He is very rioh, being heir to his own father’s estate and the estates of numerous uncles. Eo 8 not married. His complexion is very clear—bis hair of that shade of burnt brown he calis auburn, Tsay red. His head is very full, his whiskers very bard set indeed—they certainly nave an objection- able glow—Dbut then his whole pergon is thatofa thorough brick, He is hardy, vroad shouldered and ‘Well ma#e, looks best at fox hunting, and is only ‘vain of his hand. Vespetro is a different sort of man altogether. In the first place, their education has not been the game. A man’s mind generaily goes the way of his pastimes, not so much that of his studies, Doroug- herty went home to “sport” for bis holidays; Ves- petro was sent up to Paris for bails and parties, So Vespetro is the “lion” of modern school all over. He 1s dark, wears an imperial on his chin that looks hwe @ semicolon, while @ small mustache dows his upper lip, His features are regular, his eyes can be any color somehow. He is @ model diplo- matist with ministers; @ perfect sportsman at Longchamps, I do not say jon all fields; o& Don Juan at the dal masque; a Ceremonious courtier at tue palace, agd is best seen at hie own chateau doing the honors With the bounty and joviality of an alderman. arcer this sketch itis Justo say be 1s married; but so 11it@ that I only mentton the facten passant, His wife, Comtesse Eliane, is one of the favorite guests at Oompiegne and Mouchy. He is valo only of his weth, The following will convey some idea of the multiplicity of bis pursuits:— Paris, December, 1860. Dear. DorovenEerTy—I was much delighted with your letter—quite an amateur performance—on the Oonetle, ana your taste for literature deserves to be encouraged by our mutual friend, Quy. But I can- not blame him for ba ree, to see the Concile ina controversial light. He is the onty tan I know who Pee it f proper —namely, the phenome- nou Of the d%e we ive is B thing to be lodked at as 8 curiosity aud left aione, I wish I could moderate your strong propensity to examine everything, good Dorougherty, {t would save you a great deal of excitement. We were wt about the Concile the Othgr night, at the first of “Réve d'Amour,” Auber’s Tew opera, you know (ana anelderlyone). Well, we concluded they had not all been edifying assemblies, and an incident that took place at one held in the eleventh century is decidedly a proof against, our tendency to copy the manners of past ages. 1 was under the reign of Robert, whose was Con- stance, and the Concile was held at Orleans. The assembled fathers condemned thirteen of their col leagues to be ‘burnt to death—not a brothény thing for them to do. Queen Constance stood at the en- trance of achuron to see them safe to the place of execution, and, Just as her confessor (Etienne) came out, sbe darted forward and thrust his eye in with @ pointed stick which she held for what purpose. We have got an old volume which givés other Getails besides on the Concile of 1041. It was decreed in this assembly that the nobles were authorized to make war, pillage, murder and burn thelr -partshioners for turee days aud two nights of every week only, and refrain from these lively doings the other odd days and nights; but a subsequent Concile recous gered Ae matter, aud consented, at the request of the Hobles, to extend their right to six days and five nights, during which the plebeian population of France had to hide from our marauding ancestors, so let past Conctles be & warning not to take “bulls by the fd Fathey admire Guy, who, having at command all te prticles to be debated in a Sunday edition, can- Not be drawn out. Teli him he reminds me of Prince Napoleon when he was talking to the Emperor avout the advisability of a duel with the Duke of Aumale, who had offended him. Napoleon JIL was not averse to @ meeting, but his cousin on roelving this exclaimed, “What! 1 did not fight fr'the Crimea when | had 50,000 men at command, aud you Would like meto gO and fightalone’” Of course it Was absurd. ‘Yhere is plenty of other matter besides the Con- ole, and you must be awiully behind date having eft Paris over two months ago. Until the Empress returned from the East society Was supposed to be dead and buried, but in reality the parties were de- lightfal at Compiégne. ‘The Emperor was quite youthfa), one evening in particular.

Up they stood. and the Emperor, too; partners were soon selected and an old-fasnion- ear of Sir Roger ae Coverly commenced that two fours. The jAmerican Minister, Mr. Wasnburn, ana Princess Mathilde paired off in antique style.” At the end of the evening the Emperor was caught standing apart and all the pretty women giving each other hands, formed @ circle around fim, from ‘which he had to extricate himself as best he could. After rejoicings every one felt the pangs of hanger at about supper time, but there was nothing to eat ; the Chorus singers had absorbed ali the cakes “Ladies,” = sald the Emperor, when the case was made known to biw, ‘every ehop at Compiegne ia shut up; we must send to the barracks for military food.” Accoralngly servants werej despatched, and sandwiches made of sdidiers’ munition bread. ‘The duchesses of France and Navarre thus ate the first healtby meal they have, perhaps, had since they were weaned. It ‘was the strangest sight to see them devour piatesful of cearse ham, in ail the wave of lace, erush of vel- ‘vet and glitter of gems, ‘On referring to your letter I find you inquire into the “fashions” this season.

Then every one wants @ monkey like the Empress’. I am shocked, on re- ferring to this animal, torepeat what Rochefort said ‘when he was told that the Empress had brought one to the Tulleries, but Guy likes stray bits, and he is, not so particular as to where they come from as 1 am. “You know she has got a splendid monkey at the palace,” said a nhewsmonger to the author of the Lanterne, “That makes two, then,” answered Roehefort.

The guilty pair were traced to a hotel, and the jnred wife conironted her husband. She demanded that he deliver up her child and also her poftion or the money he had carried off. The husband was so electrified by her bnsnsperted Bppgarance that he had not the resolution td mnaké any terms, but quietly conceded all that was asked for.

Tae ALLEGED BRUTALITY BY A BUTCHER.—The examination of John Miller, a butcher, and Jacob Hami!, on the charge of atroclously beating a boy named George Whitebread, resulted in a dismissal of the case by Recorder Aldridge. That the lad was cruelly beaten by some one was quite evident, but the testimony against the accused was wholly in- sufficient to warrant their further detention, THE FIRE COMPANY INVESTIGATION.—The mem- bers of Hose Company No. 3, who were arrested on acharge of dragging the apparatus over the side- walk @ few nights ago, were brought up for ex- amination before Recorder Aldridge.

There seems to be Title doubt that Mr. Cam will stand by himaeif if he wont with his democratic colleagues, and it is also almost a matter of dead certainty that a strong effort will be made to rush a bill through the Legis- Jature cutting up the Seventh ward, one of the biggest democratic strongholds, into two wards, ‘The accomplishment of this would give the demo- crats 8 majorty of two members in council without Cain, Several meetings of persons in iavor of the movement have been heid, A BURGLAR CAUGHT IN THE ACT.

Another version is that Balsky ret) to the house a short time after six o'clock, and’ finding bid- dle locked up in & room with his mistress com- menced kicking and pounding on the. door, which enraged Biddle to such an extent that he opened the door and fired, after which ne ran into the street, and made his escape. ‘ ‘The wounded man was placed in a carriage and removed to the Fifteenth precinct station house, 1p Mercer street, where he was attended by Police Sur- geon Fraver, Wuo pronounced the wound not imme- lately dangerous, although of such a@ nature that it would take trom two to three days to determine. ‘The bail entered the stomach miaway between the navel and the sternum, passing downward, A lew minutes before eleven o’clock last night ddie surrendered himself to Inspector Dilks at eadquarwrs, stating that while seated in his room in the can part of the evening he heard {potsteps stealthlly approaching along the haliway, dd, surmising it was ky from the threats he had made, requested his mistress to open the door agd see who it was. As she opened the door Balsky rushed in and struck him im the face, at which he ran into the ballway, pursuea by Balsky, and, when but a sbort distance from the stairway, fired upon him, Judging from the appearance of the prisoner while at headquarters last night, bis version of the atfray was correct, ag far as concerns the assault, his mgbt eye being blackened, and #0 swollen that it was clo: almost closed.

THE HUDSON RIVER PALROAD ROBBERIES, They Still ContinueThe Detectives Beaten— Another Large Haul Last Night. For months @ gang of desperate and expert thieves have infested the Hudson River Rail- road freight trains going out,” and many thousand dollars’ worth of gooda have been stolen from the cara, The company has failed to detect the thieves or to put a stop to their operations. They have recently offered $250 reward for the arrest of persons for robbing the company, but in one case only paid seventy-five dollars. The cars are always locked before starting, but poate’ on the line are broken open and riled. out eleven o'clock Friday Giaceny @ watchman of the company observed two thieves break into two cars at the corner of Eleventh avenue and Thirty- second sireet aud throw out a box of tea, eighteen rolis of red flannel, several rolls of bagging and other goods. As they were ip the act of carrying it away he fired two shote at them.

The second of a free course of scientific lectures, ‘under the auspices of the trustees of Cooper Union, was delivered last night in the large hall. Professor A. J. Ebell announced as his subject “Animal Struc- ture,” and stated that he shouid refer more particu- larly to his subject in its connection with fishes and reptiles. The functions of animals might be divided into animal and vegetative, which again branched out into sensation, nutritive and generative. The first portion of structure referred to by the lecturer was the bones. The strength of bone, made, ag it is, of animal and mineral matter, was twenty-two times more than that of freestone. ‘The radimental formation of the en, btructure ‘was similar in all the branches of the animal kingdom, and all belonged to two systems. The Muscles were the ropes which gave motion to the bones. The sensational system was next discussed. The nervous system came under this head, and it again had branching out from it, which were the five sen@es. After having thus igtro- duced bis subject to his hearers Professor Ebell proceeded to deal with the structure of the fishes. Commencing with the head the lecturer gave & minute description of the forma- tion of the fishes, illustrating his remarks by some very well executed drawings upon the blackboard. ‘The reptile kingdom was discussed in the same manner with similar illustrations. ‘The hall was comfo! ly filled and the lecture was received with considerabie satisfaction. “TELEGRAPAIC.HEWS ITEMS.
