FRANCE. An Interview with Vicomte de Belcastel. Why Henri Cinq Could Give Up His White Flag. The Last Request of the Duchess de Berri. Pants, July 22, 1874. “Ventre Saint-Gris! Paris vaux bien une messe !”” exclaimed Henri IV. when he wisely resolved to make himself @ Catholic, in order to put an end to the Ligue and become the Indisputed King of France, How {s {t, then, it may be asked, that his last helr and presumpitve successor on the throne of vrance, Henri V., would not give ap even a white rag affixed at te end of a broomstex, when this really trifing concession (compared to that of his ancestor) would have been deemed sumMicient, one year ago, to secure the entrance of His Royal Majesty in his good town of Paris? Such an obstination about a vain emblem- coming from a prince whose intellect is undoubt- edly superior to that of the twelve or fifteen pretenders to a European crown, had always been for me a mysterious enigma, when the good luck which always favors the correspondents of the HERaLD manifested itself to me in the shape of M. le Viscomte ae Beicastel, whom I met at a delictous soiré2 given by the Duchess of Sesto. M, de Beleastel, you are weil aware, is the most complete incarnation of clerico-royalsm now living in France. It may be that Barascud, Dabi- rel, LorgeriJ, Du Temple and a few other antedilu- vian members of the Assembly have equally good claims to be filed with straw and sent to the Mu- seum of Antiquities, between Cuvier’s mastodonte and Ramses XXJII.’3 mummy. But none among the unvaluable collection of fossils seated at the Extreme Right of the Versailiist Parliament 1s made of one block of ascetism; none represents 80 well, physically and morally, the now vanished type of the old paladine, whose device was “Mon Dieu, mon Rot, ma dame.”’ None, in a word, is to such a degree a striking exhumation of the fourteenth century a8 M. le Viscomte Henri Domi- nique Vic Alcindor Joszph de Belcastel, defender of the throne and altar and most tntimate Irlend to His Bourbonic Majesty Henri V., who has no se- crets for him. This preamble was necessary, in order that yon be abie to judge of the importance of the statement which I have reaped from my noble interiocutor’s lips. After a few words of introduction had been ex- changed I ventured inquiring from M. de Belcastel about the probabilities of a Bourbonist restora- tion, ConrEsrospENT—Is there no prospect of the Comte de Chambord adopting, at last, the tricolor flag, which would remove the capital objection to his enthronement? BELCASTEL—No, sir; le Rot, mon mattre, will bever give up h's white flag; never. CoRRESPONDENT—Well; then, as far as I may Jadge, the Comte de Cnambord will never be a dz sacto king? BetcasTau—I know he won't, sir; and [must | add that His Majesty does not care at all. CORRESPONDENT—What do you mean? youcxplain to me the exact meaning of those very words? Coala | BELCASTEL—Why bot? ithink the time has come | when it should no more be a mystery, and your sure indiscretion in behalf of tne first newspaper ia the world will, most likely, prove the best man- | ner to let the truth be known at large. Let us go and smoke a cigar in the garden, and I hope your curiosity will be amply satistied, So we ieit ihe salons and went down under the cool foliage of bi-secu!ar trees, and M. de Belcaster proceeded as once in the following terms :— “You know certainly enough of our history not to be-ignorant of the disgusting manner tn which the Urieans branch o1 the Bourbon house behaved towards the eldest branch. From the Regent down to Louis Philippe I., who succeeded in usurp- ing the crown througa his caaning lotrigues with the cursed British, oa one hand, and his low fi teries to the populace on the otner, those Orleans have proved robe the bad genius of the royal house of France, and, as @ batural sequence, of France itselt. “Now, ycu are well aware that, since he made that dreadful fall from his horse when still a young man the King is powerless with regard to poster- ity, 80 that, mae Y. happentog to die at the Tull- leries, Louis Phitippe IL (the present Comte de Paris) would, by virtue of the hereditary taw ream lating the succession to the throne, be universal); acknowledged, iniand and abroad, as the legiri- te King oi France, and hold, undisputedly, the tre o: St. Louis and Heart LV.

St. John’s Gulld—The Story of an Eng- ish Woman. . The daily life of a volunteer visitor in the work of St. John’s Gulld among the destitute sick ts full of heartrending episodes. Misfortune and want become familiar attendants, who follow everywhere, being no sooner shaken off in some dark alleyway than they reappear around the cor- ner. One encounters these pleading, sorrowful faces everywhere by day and they gather around one in dreams at night, Itis not singular, then, that these visitors can tell stories of heartache and hopelessness, Here ts one:— A gentleman, a member of the firm of Willcox & Gibbs, met a lady volunteer visitor of the Gutld and requested her to examine into the merits of @ case with which he had accidentally become ac- quainted. This lady called at the addresa given, @ back room in the upper story of a rear house in Sixth street. Here, in one of the worst tene- ments of A WRETCHED DISTRICT, she found a starving widow, with two sick chit dren. The room she describes as “an oasis of cleanliness ina desert of filth.” The floor was polished white, and the few articles of furniture—a table, two chairs and a cot bed—were scrapulously meat. The only food in the house was a dry crust of bread, which one of the children was dividing into three parts—one for his little sister, one for his mother and oné for himself. The poor woman told her simple story. Born and married in England, she had come to America with her husband to seek their fortune. They had not fared well in the New World, save that cnil- Gren were born to them to share their struggles and partake of their misfortunes, A few months go the husband died of smallpox. The widow sold all her furniture, save the few articles alladed to above, piece by piece, to buy bread. When the last salable article had gone and the last morsel had been eaten sne found temporary work, She was employed by the proprietress o: a furnishing store to stitch buttonholes in ladies’ and gentle- men’s garments, She sewed till she had carned $65 76, when her employer sold out her busi- ness and disappeared without paying her, How she had struggled oay and night to care for her sick children no one can tell. Her quiet heroism in tne midst of destita- tion, sickness and sorrow will some time win tor her a reward greater than that which attends the successiul seeker after tame or fortune. In at least two hearts the mother’s image will be shrined 10 all the glory o! love and devotion, A TENEMENT HORROR, On Sunday, July 19, a poor colored woman, living at No. 39 Watts street, gave birth to a child, Her busband had long been an tuvalid, and she had toiled hard and een, to care for him and provide him with medical attendauce. Both lying sick together they suffered for want of atten- dance, and on Monday, the 27th, the mother died, The sister of the deceased had long been strug- qune tor baro existence with a family ot sick chil- en, and when this last misfortune fell upon her she patvned everything of value to help defray the tuneral expenses o/ the dead. Some equally humble though kind souls in the building added their mite, and the sum of $16 was gotten to- gether. This was not enough, owever, for even the cheapest scpulture, and there was a painful delay. Attiis juncture a well dressed muistto called at the house, making inquiries and profess- ing a worid of sympathy for the bereaved rela- tives. He wore the uniform, cap and badge of a patyd on one of the palace car lines, and stated ‘bat he was employed on the route between New York and Washingtun. It was a shame, he said, that there should be any delay of the sad rites of Durtal, and be came not ovly to offer sympathy but generous and ample assistance. fie went with one of the neighborsto an undertaker's oMfice and crdered the necessary arrangements for a fuoeral, agreeing to pay for the same the sum of 2, and took possession, in the meantime, of the 16 before contributed. After that he was no Biore seen. The undertaker procured a permit from the Board oi Health for the burial, and waited for his money. All last week the corpse of the poor woman WAITED IN THR TENEMENT HOUSE, day there from t4unday till Saturday. Late on Friday a gentieman called at the head- quarters of St, John’s Guild, No. 52 Varick street, and asked for the Rev. Alvan Wiswall. He sat | down and began to relate the circumstances brie detailed above, and had not preceeded far wit his story when a lady called. She was somewhat excited, and excusing herself tor the tasers aption, said :—“‘I know 01 no other place to apply for aid Ihave no time to lose, A dead woman has been lying unburied and her living infant without proper care jor nearly a week,’ and she weut on to relate the same story. Be‘ore she bad finished her recital two others had sought an interview with the Master of the Gutld on the same errand. They were all strangers to each other, and all came, as a tast resort, to the volunteer clarity that NEVER CLOSES IT3 DOORS to the unfortunate and never asks a question of creed or color. ‘The undertaker who had the permit refused to bury the corpse without being paid in advance, and when @ messenger from the Guild told bim that was impossible, as his bill would have to be audited by the committee—requiring a delay of a few days only—he replied, *them's my terms. Pve the permit, and ye can’t bury the body tilt ye come to time.” Yesterday, the Board of Health having caused a return of the permit, the regular under- taker of the Guta gave the body decent burial. The little | y= 4 of mourners rode to the cemeter, and voli @ poor body placed in its last tenement! on earth, by the thought that New York has a great charity that strercnes {ts hand forth to hold up the weak- est nursing and guard reverently and tenderly the dust of the poorest who are dead. AMONG THE WEE ONE3. The Newsboys Lodging House and the Girls’ Sheltcr—A Home for the Home- less. Although much has been written of the practical charities of New York, much remains to be learned | of that far-reaching charity which enfolds in its sheltering arms the poor children of this mighty city. Within a stone's throw of the City Hall and within the sound of its bell ts a grand seven story building, built of brick ana faced with sand- stone, simple, yet imposing in architecture, with Tuey returned to their work tn life with | | hearts made lighter in the midst of their sorrow asingle sign, ‘Newsboys’ Lodging House," to de- | note its uec and purpose. This edifice can be Diainly seen from Chatham street by the thousands Of passengers on the various car lines which dally | fT," journey through the great thoroughfare; but we doubt if many of the business toilers have turned away from their daily tasks to enter the building which must become historical. The ballding mentioned has two entrances, one | on Duane street and one on New Chambers street. At six o'clock each evening the waits of New York—many of whom might well answer to the im- mortal Gavroche of Victor Hugo in “Les Misér- ables’—commence to file into their home. A watchman stands at the door to see that no bad characters enter and to check the boisterous hilar- ity Of these gaméins Of the street. They troop up the stone hallways tothe third foor, where the As- | \ sistant Superintendent awaits to recetve their | soiled shoes—if they have any—and to take chai of such clothing as they may wish to deposit. Each boy's effects are placed in @ Closet, the key of which is hung upon the hook corresponding to the number of the closet. Then the youths are made acquainted with the batis, and ample con- veniences are at hand to remove the dirt of the atreets from their persons, alter which a whole- some light supper is served, consisting at this season of milk und tea, with good bread and but- ter or syTup, and some light relish, In winter this diet is changed with meat, &c. They are then free to seek theirgdormitories, where two beds are ranged—like berths in @ ship—one above the other, or they can ascend to the gymnasium, on the sixth floor, and amuse themselves with dumb bells, rings or paraile) bars, hey generally, however, retire to weir couches early and ‘ ip the sleep of the just.” For the wholesome accommodation thus afforded by the Society the boys are only charged six cents for lodging, six cents for supper and six cents for breakiast. ‘There ts an “audience room,” where lectures are given, exhibitions, &c., and th winter this hall is well attended, Placards are hung all around the room with such directions the tollowing: fanity strictly rohibited,’? he use of tobacco not allowed,” “Boys who | wish situations m the country can apply to the Superintendent,” &c., &c. The Superintendent, Mr. O’Conuor, 18 assisted by bis wile, and the latter directs the servants, attends to the laundry de- partment, &c, The underclothing of the boys is washed free of charge, At eleven o'clock at | might the doors are locked, but generait before that time the tired newsboys are ail asleep. The reporter was iniormed that in th.s building about 200 boys are domiciled at night at this season.

The memorable raids made in the early part of the year on the obstructions which ked and impeded the sidewalks of Eighth avenue, Bowery, Catharine, Chatham, Vesey, Gram@- and other streets were hailed with gratitude #€ the time by the preas and the public, In the eagerness of com- Petition and the greed of gain rival stores had empued themselves into the street; stalls of every size and description abounded; every paltry vender had become an insolent sidewalk squatter, and the pedestrian's patnway became a mockery and @ snare—a labyrinth in whose mazes the shins, and sometimes the head, were impertilied. This campaign the Bureau of Obstructions carried on for three months with commendable vigor and pertinacity, until the Ishmaelitish districts of the city bore less resemblance to Nijni Novgorod streets during fair time. On the ist of April, however, there was a hitch in the machinery, and after a few spasmodic throes the operations came toa dead halt. No engine can travel without fuel and no bureau can be run without money. The elty’s FINANCIAL CHIEF with characteristic stolidity refused to advance more money, and the news was greedily aevoured by every predactous vender in the city. Straight- way the ancient landmarks begin to reappear. Yhe peanut man asserts himself with renewed vigor, carpeta transform portions of the Bowery into a musty arcade as of yore; drawers, under- clothing and every describabie article of food, apparel and general gimcrackery again festoon and barricade the sidewalks of Eighth avenue, Catharine street dry goods stores have again tarned themeclves inside ont, and every objec- tionable nuisance of the ancient regime is in a fair and speedy way of being restored. The writer made tour of inspection yesterday. The writer stepped into the room of the bureau in the City Hall on Tuesday, and stated to Mr. & B. Shafer, the chief oficial, the forezoing tacts. “Il am periectly powerless to sct,” he said; “che Comptroher reiuses to advance any money.” An examination into the workings of the bureau, as exemplified by the books, papers, letters and vouchers exibited by Mr. Sharer, showed :— First—That tbe bureau was subordinate to, and nna re con trpt Of ag Street aa a his Is Synonymous wit! ie Commissioner of Public Works, “é Second—That ag respects the expenditure of the bureau for removing obstructions by cart or truck, and other incidental expenses, the Laws and Orulnances, section 23, provides that :— Sxcri0x %8.—* * # The Street Commissioner may, by a requisition, draw upon the Comptrolier tor a sum not exceeding $100, He may in like manner renew the draft as otten as may be necessary. xc. 24.—When a dratt shall be made upon the Comp- troller in eontormity with tho last section he shall draw os jmanrens im favor of the Street Commissioner for the “For the first two or three months,” continued Mr. Schafer, “the Comptroller paid the warrants on THE COMMISSIONER'S REQUISITION. Here you see is the form of the requisition (pro- ducing it). It 18 sent from this bureau, with the youcners, to Mr. Van Nort’s office; there it is aucited, then signed by him, snd finally sent to | the Comptroller,” “How much 18 owing to your bureau?” “Independently of my salary, which the Comp- trolier has withheld to-day, the bureau is indebred to me in the sum of five hundred and odd dollar wnich I advanced out of my own pocket toward defraying the working expenses of the bureau, re- moving obstructions, &c. I advanced this money on the joint assurances of the Mayor, Mr. Green and Mr. Van Nort, and now Mr. Green refuses to pay me a cent of it, Now we have no funds, and, although peo- ple are coming here all the time complaioiag, we ave no lunds to carry out the work of removing obstructions, Here we have been waiting for months for money, and sidewalk traders laugning at us, because they know we have no money to ire trucks to remove them. I tell you what, air, Green 1s the greatest obstructionist in the city."’ The revised ordinance of 1866 respecting ob- structions provides that “no person shall place, hang or suspend, at any greater distance than twelve incnes in front of and from tne wall of au house, store or other building, any sign, show bt! oF oad board, under the penalty of $10 for cach fence,” By io subsequent ordinance, dated March § | 1873, it 18 enacted that “No Rina ofany kind, without permission of the Common Council, shall extend beyond the line of houses.’ And by an ordinance oi the current year, dated June 29, 1874, itis provided that privileges jor dis. Playing signs, &c., &c., shali be granted tor $1; all power to grant such being vested in the Mayor, and the fees to be paid at the Mayor's olfice, But in no case 13 permission to be given to use the Street beyond the stoop line, Some instances of THE ACTION OF THE BURFAU in enforcing these ordinances were submitted by Mr. Shaler, and were a8 uuder:— (@ Dr. Hall's new church, corner of Fifth avenue and Fitty-fifih strect—Provention of the construction of but BCS. ) Lry Dock Saving; Bank, corner of Third street and Bowery—Prevention ot projection and buttresses. @ Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, corner of Cor aeee and Church streets—Stoppage of contemplated jon.

Among the cases on the calendar yesterday was an indictment against Catherine Gabel, charging her with the crime of abduction in enticing Catherine Niscius to lead a life of prostitution in Chicago. It seems that the accused hired the girl at Castle Garden to act in the capacity of servant at her hotel in Chicago, and that subsequently sha held out flattering inducements for ner to lead @ Ife of shame in that city.
