VOYAGERS. Departure of the Emperor and Empress of Brazil for Europe. _— Scenes in the Harbor of Rio Janeiro at the Im- perial Embarkation—The Military and Naval Display—The Poople’s Farewell toa Mon- areh—Arrival and Reception of His Mejeaty at Bahia and Pernambuco. Rio JANEIRO, May 25, 1871. Their imperial Majesties Dom Pedro If. and The- resa,, Emperor and Empress of the Brazils, took their departure from the empire this morning en route for Lisbon, and to-day, for the first time in = ‘thirty years, and the second time im the instory of Brazil, we ave governed by a regent. Aseariy as six o’clock this momimg the streets were re-echoing in the vicinity of the city palace with military music and the tramp of martial feet, and, what is sti!l more unusual here, well-dressed Jadies in some tustances were to be seen at the sate early hour, under the escort of male friends, riding or Waiking to the piers and ferry slips, it had been understood that the steamer Douro, In which the imperial party and suite were to embark, was to | leave her moorings at cight o'clock precisely, and as a consequence all who wished to witness the Gepar- ture had to bestir themseives early. A regiment of infantry marched In open column of companies through the Rua Primeiro do Margo, at seven o'clock, and filed into the yard of the Marine Arsenal, Here the imperiai yacht, a prettily outlinea sidewhee! stcamer, was moored close to the side of the quay awaling the distinguished party, and the infantry formed lines from the gate to the steamer. At twenty minutes past seven e’clock their Imperial Majesties arrived at the Arsenal, accompanied by Donna Isabel, Princess Jmperial and Regent of the empire, with her con- sort, his Highness the Count d’hu. There was no unusual display made in their arrivai, the Emperor being drawn in a carriage with four horses, out- rivers and postilions, as is nis usual custom, and followed by ® cavalry escort, The inaies of honor attached to the iinperia! nousehoid also followed in carriages. At the Arsenal were assembled deputauions from the Senate and House of Asseimbiy, the various ministers, a large number of officers of tune army and navy, pubic functionaries m th and oilicers of the municipal governiment. Shortly aiver their arrival the imperial party, accompanied by the Count d’isu, the Duke de Caxias, ie Minister oi the Empire and a half dozen other dignitaries, proceeded on board the yachi, The bapa in the Arsenal yard played the national hyin as the moor- ings were cast off, and the six or seven hundred persons assembled on the Arsena! wharl essayed a cheer and waved their handkerchieis as thé yacii steamed briskly away. cheering must have been myeuted solely for Saxon or Celie throats, for the Latin and other races make @ shocking bungle whenever wey aempt it. If ever there was an occasion in Brazil when a good solid cheer, coming from the heart and Mlling the air, would have been appropriate, it was this; but the boys of any New York ward school would have eclipsed the effort made here to-day by these f'lu- minenses, Quietly and swiftly the imperiai yacht sped away past the Navy Yard, and the picturesque Itha das Cobras, having in low a beaucsul twenty-four oared barge of the gondola build. ‘This barge is quite a graceful crait, with high prow and stern, and a canopy over the stern sueets, Ihe barge and awning are painted green,and handsomely scrolied and orna- mented with gold and white stripings, Mowers, Nautical devices and the imperial arms, The crew are selected men, dressed ip wiite, With a singular mitre-shaped cap, and the characters “P. 11.” em- broidered on the bosoms of their shirts, Tue steamship Douro tay at anchor off Enxadas island, and ‘thither the bow of the yacht was pointed, her sole companion on her flying trip being & steam launch, handsomely dressed with the Ameri- can and Braziliat ne ‘This iaunca was formerly the steam launch 1, P.

Among the Ameri- cans on tne launch were Samuel T. Browne, Pay- master, U. 8. N., and Naval Storekeeper at Rio; Lieutenant George H. Church, U. 8. N.; Mr.’ and Mrs. Frank Allen, and Mr. and and Mrs, Greenough, of New York; Captain P. D. Whitmore, Rev. Father Henry, of Ohio; Mr. H. N. oiler and Dr. William D. Spore, of New York, and Mr. Antonico Lage, a young Brazilian, owner of the launch. This launch, by the way, Was brought from New York under sail, together with @ sister vessel {the Competidor) by Mr, Lage, to be used as a steam tender and tug in flus harbor, aud both have proved business iD vestments, As we approached the Douro at her moorings she ‘was full of ite and animation, and the swarm of small boats alouguide her gangway stairs was made to shove off. The imperial yacht now “slowed down” and stopped within a hundred yarda of the steam- ship, and the imperial groups, with their attendant suite, embarked in the twenty-four vared goncola, and were swituy pulled by her crew alongsiae the Douro. At ten minutes before elght o'clock the party were allon board the steamer, and the barge returned vo tue yacht. Fifteen minutes After eignt o'clock the Douro was under way, followed by the imperial yacht, the ‘Yankee tug, a ferryboat, with a large deputation of National Guard, officers of the army and ¢ band on board, the Brazilian tri smaller craft. The transport ts a rakish looking, four-fupnelied steamer, and was former! ade runper, and the Cruzeiro do. Sul on @ large and select party, com; representatives from both houses of Parliament, Senators and Depu- ties, the Ministers of the Kmpire, Marine, War, Agri- cuture, &c.; deputations irom the various public ofices and a number of ladies and gentiemen. The Brazilian standard was now floating from the Douro’s mati, and all the ships-o!-war in the harbor had manned their her aud strung out thelr bunt- tug from their mastheads down to the decks. ‘The morning Was somewhat overcast and a chin haze concealed the city, save where here and there seme boldly outlined Morro, crowned with a fort, a chapel of @ convent, thrust its crest through the mist to take a farewell peep at departing jesty.

Their Majesties Dom Pedro Il. and Theresa, Em- peror and Empress ot Brazil, arrived in the harbor of Pernambuco at seven o'clock this morning from Rio and Bahia, On board the steamship Douro, en rowe for Europe. About eight o'clock the Emperor janded, accompanied by the members of ls suite, and in consequence of a prevailing rain the Empress | remained on board, An unusually large concourse of spectators had assembled on the quay, and his Majesty, in the most democratic manner possible, stepped from the tender, and, umbrella m hand, | trudged through the crowd.

A new opera, “Il Matrimonio al Bujo,” will be shortly produced at the Teatro Branetti, Bologne. The composer 1s Signor Zecchinl. Monsteur De Vroye, the eminent fluust, is among | the artists engaged for the series of concerts to be given in Baden-Biden and Wiesnaden ia Jnly and Angust next. At Brescia, a short time since, a prize of 1,000 lire was offered for the best dramatic work. Seventy- one such works were sent in, but not one was con- sidered by the judges worthy the prize ! Herr R. Wagner's “Lohengrin” hag just been pro- duced at Presburg for the first time, It was suc- cessful, thanks to the energy displayed oy the man- agement, and thanks more especially to the car di attention bestowed on its production by the con- ductor, Herr Kiehaupt. At Valladolid Rossini’s Mass was performed lately in the Cathedral of St. Stephen, in commemoration of the death of Cervantes. The Cardinal Archbishop, the civil and military authorities and a great con- course of peopie were present at the funcion, as the ielanse, say, Or on the occasion, as we have it in A correspondent gives the following account of the heartiess injustice perpetrated by the Versalll- ists:—M, Tousé, a well known: actor of the Theatre du Chatetet, used to perform frequently in the mult- tary plays often given at that house; and he had his stage wardrobe in his own house; 1t included the complete uniform of a private in the line. His house was searched—a pair of red trousers found in his clothes press was set down as conclusive evi- dence of his being a deserter. Despite is represen- tations, he was taken down into his own courtyard, where two bullets at once terminated hts earthly and his theatrical career. Al number of the inhabitants of Montmartre, Point du Jour and Montrouge migrated to the de- serted mansions of Anteull, Passy and other aristo- cratic quarters,’ Where they established themselves in comfort, not to say in luxury. The most singular scenes Were the resuits of the chanwe of proprietors. Here a man in the costume of a National Guard, just returned from the ramparts, black with powder ana dust, was asleep in nis clothes on the outside of the exquisitely got up bed of a lady of rank, with its Gelicate rose-colored hangings and lace curtains, while his wife, in a superd satin dress belonging to the {air proprietor of the bed, was attending to the soup over a fire in the boudoir. Mme. Louise Viardot, a daughter of Mme. Viardot- The reception | Garcia, made her debut as an operatic singer ac St. Petersburg on the 28th of April, in Serow’s opera, “Rogneda.” The announcement of her appearance attracted @ very full house, as no one had the slight- est notion that ste contemplated coming out on the stage. Such a step on her part was the more unex- pected, because she was obliged, some time ago, by ill health, wo throw e the position she held as teacher of singing at the Conservatory. She is a of her celebrated mother, and, such being the case, 1t18 superfinous to say anything about her style and method. We may observe, however, that her voice, a mezzo-soprano, Is far from eae very powerful. As an actress Mme. Viardot has inherited @ great aeal of her mother’s talent. London fashionable salons are about to be enter- tainea by the production ot a comedy for which Mme. Pauline Viardot has written several pieces of music. The work wtil excite all the greater interest because dealing with events which have actually taken place in our time and in London itself, It will and M. Jules Letert. Mile.

She then entered the Senate Chamber in company with her-husband, His Highness the Count d’Eu, followed by deputations of the Senators and Deputies, and took a position in front of the throne, seating Lerself at a small table, Her Highness being accustomed to these maticrs of State display, exhibited no embarrassment self with great dignity and lady-like composure, The attending deputations remained standing, and office, and accompanied by the Firat Secretary of the Senate, approached Her Imperial Highness, bearing in his hands the oath, in engrossed manu- script. The President then read to Her Highness the formula in relation to the obligations she was avout to take, and presented to her the missal, upon which she placed her hand. He then pronounced in a clear voice, and the Princess repeated slowly after him, the following OATH OF REGENCY: “lL swear to maintain the Roman Catholic Apos- tole religion, the integrity und inaivisibility of the empire, to observe and cause to be ooserved the political constitation of the Brazilian nation and the whatever, but, on the contrary, deported ner- | (another, the President of the Senate, clad in the robes of his | Parla); te, ‘ot and Italy.

CARTER bas had a fresh opportunity to gratify nis fondness: for rehgious pictures by a commission from a lady resident in this crty to paint an altar-piece for a chapel which she intends to build in her native vil- lage tn Dutchess county. The heads of the principal figures in this painting have considerable merit, although that of Our Saviour ts invested with more gentleness than power, and is surpassed tn dignity by that of the “ Patron Saint of Paris.” . MARSHALL is still bravely at work upon the picture of Jesus Cnrtst, to which he is devoting his fullest energies and the best years of his life. To aid him in his ambition of making 1t a masterpiece that shall em- body both the revelations of Scripture and the de- velopments of modern thought and research, he has modelled a head of Our Saviour in a style of which many 4 professional sculptor might weil be proud.
