Ca .ions, on Wednesday last. Wednesday
v s a.‘cold day, and the previous snow ren—
~.‘.- ed the :old New England sport of ‘-' sliding

 

. it in Boston. We should judge there was
army of at least ten thousand girls and
in 's of ‘all ages and sizes, complexions and
:s-t ditions, with sled, 'jumper, and Coaster,
engagedin a most furious enjoyment of
"ling down the declevities of Boston Com-
= a, while on the pond, girls as well as boys
re darting about in all the rapt abandon of
skates .' While all this fierce rush of pleasa-
sale enjoyment was going on, scores of carts
and hundreds of poor laborers were deposi-
"g dirt and stones along the lower end of
;.COmmon, to form a dam or dyke by means
hich several acres could be overflowcd
. thus alord skating ground for impetuous

iii-J'h; skating is as popular a pastime with
tie»), gentler ones in Boston, as with rndcr
arm's and'men. This action is in consequence-
~f a recentvote passed by the city authorities
sequiescing in a petition signed by one
t's‘vrusaud of the “ solid men,” ,that this
i. done, and also that all the other natural
5-.r-oremi0ns of the Common where shallow
water levels might be found, may be over-
ricsved, in order that the children can enjoy
. mselves to the utmost, without anxious
as and nervous mamas being exercised
«rut their breaking through the ice and
.pardizing their lives. We overheard a
.- >'ierable looking merchant remark that he
ml no children of his own to enjoy the sport,

a New York, the great Central Park con~
air as a large skating pond, and water can be

' iugh to warrant its'freezing ; thereby fur-
»hlng opportunity for boys to enjoy them

‘In Buffalo, N. _Y., several benevolent gen-

ample space for all who wish to enlist in this
althful recreation.

The amusements of the people are as well
irth the attention of the authorities as their
.«iployments; one cannot? flourish without
‘ e other, and although New England has
‘ en backward in their encouragement, We
:we glad to see that she is now waking up to
.. senseof her position. “ All work and no

A rare instance of magnanimity.

We learn that the Home Insurance compa-
ny of New Yorkmade Mr. Terrell a donation
of about three hundred dollars, as a partial
~rdemuificatiou ofhis recent loss. Mr. T. had
made application to the Co. for an insurance
which had not been acted upon at the time
’if the fire and which of course left him with-

ut alien. Snob noble conduct on the part
. fthis company contrasts strikingly with

re action of another, in which Mr Austen

an insured a few years since, which ta-

in. advantage of averbal quibble threw him
' nt- of his indemnification.

' mouth Norwalk Lectures.
Rev. Theodoro L. Cuylcr of Brooklyn was

the Lecturer before the Young Men’s Litera-

ry Association, on Wednesday evening last.
llis production is said to have surpassed in
interest and plcasantness any Lecture yet
given. ' The next Lecture will be given by

Geo. W. Curtis on Wednesday evening of this

week. An exchange speaking of Mr. C. says

“ he has a voice of marvelous melody and

richness. There is hardly any greater luxury

than to listen to it, whatever he might say.—

The matter of his Lectures is always in the

best taste, generally strong, and always hon-

est. He is growing more, perhaps, than any
of the younger men who delight us by their
musical words and more musical thoughts.”

His subject is “Democracy and Education”
and will be well worthy of the attention of
persons of taste and culture.

in the order on next ,Jllomlay evening. Sub-

Improvement of Water Street,

The Committee appointed to run the lines
for straightening and widening Water street,
have fulfilled that duty with a promptness re'
freshing'to denizens of this m‘eridian. The
Selectmen have it now devolving upon them
to grade the road and prepare it for public
use, which they will no doubt do as soon as
the weather will admit. The improvement
of this street is really one of the most- sub-
stantial advancements achieved for our'town
since the erection of the stone Bridge. We
now hope that the property owners, on either
side, when they come to rebuild, will act in
concert, and not only build in some kind of
symmetry and unison with each other, but set
their buildings some six or eight feet or more
back from the road lino. and have the space
suitably graded for a sidewalk. Thus this
may become one of the finest business streets
of the place, and the value of—the building
lots thereon will be enhanced far beyond the
worth of the moiety taken to effect the im
provemeut.

Wall Street—What a golden opportunity
now presents itself for beautifying Wall-st.,
and making it the commercial centre of this
(to be) great city! When the time arrives
for new blocks of stores to go up there, let
them be set back to a straight range from the
Bank of Norwalk to the north-west bound of
Water-st ,just set up by the committee. Wall
street should be at least lwenly feel wider
than heretofore, and after Isaacs’ hill is re-
moved there is no practical difficulty in ma-

king it twice its present width, for that mat-‘

ter. [If this weredone, what street in our
village could exceed this thoroughfare in
beauty and attractiveness?

The new Depot.

At a meeting of the directors of tne Dan-
burydt Norwalk Raiload held at Danbury
last week, it was determined to erect a new
depot upon the site of the old one, It is to
be of brick, however, Gothic form and but
one story and a half high supported by three
or more Iron Girders. The entrance is to
be from the center of' the front instead of at
the sides as in the old one. and the stairs are
also to be an improvement upon the former
lrcctaugularmngular and bungling character,
an improvement at which the ladies will re-
joice especially during the reign of crinoline.
The work will be commenced and complelcd
just as so on as the frosts will permit.

was faithfully executed and the Candidates of

fl The corner stone of the first Congre-
gational Methodist church in Brooklyn, N.Y.,
was laid on Friday. This new sect is Metho-
dist in everything but church governmentmnd
its members allege that Congregational gov-
ernment- is much more consistent with the go-
nius of Methodism than is Episcopacy, and
that the latter has been retained heretofore
mainly out of'traditioual respect to the fourr-
ders of the Methodist Church. We submit
whether our Methodist friends,of the new Con-
gregation just formed at the “ Bridge” can
maintain'their consistency short of an adop-
tion cf the same principles of governmental
policy.

We understand that rhe‘ncw Ilcusc of Wor
ship recrutly erected by the Second Church
Society of" Greenwich, is to be dedicated to
the service of God, on Wednesday, ti e Stir,
inst. Dedication sermon to be preached by
Rev. Wm. B. Weed, at 10 A. M. A friend
communicates the following facts, viz :

" This Church is a Gothic structure, con-
sisting of nave 104 feet long and 36 in width,
transept 72 feet wide ; and two aisles, each
13 feet wide. ”The nave projects in front,
some 25 feet beyond the aisles; in which pro-
jection is the Choir to have an organ costing
$2,500. _ "

The front of the Church faces the South.—
On_ the South west angle is a stone tower:
(entirely separate from the Church but con-
nected with it by a low porch) supporting a
steeple, which is also of stone, and, when
finished, will be 215 feet high. On the South
east angle is a‘ stair-case turred. 16 feet
square; which makes the whole front 112
feet wide. The extreme length, including
the Chapel, (in the rear and under the same
roof, and which contains a Lecture Room,
and Sunday School Room, each 64x32) is
138 feet from outside to outside; v

The interior is finished wiih an open roof,
sustained by arched sections which are’sup-
ported by a series of posts and attached coll
umns. The windows", which are very grace-
ful in proportion and form, are glazed with
stained glass.” .

These dimensions, large as they are, con-
vey an inadequate idea of the imposing gian-
deur of this noble edifice.

In the first place,lhc location is one of the
most commanding which can be found,crown-
ing, as it does, one Of the loftiest eminences
on the coast. At the same time itis asbeau-
tiful as conspicuous ; the glory of one of the
loveliest villages in New England, overlook-
ing, as it does, a finely diversified and rich
landscape, and an almost unlimited scope of
Long Island Sound, graced by tasteful
private dwellings, by an exceedingly pretty.
rural, Episcopal Church, a Methodist Church,
and a School House as large as olrr famous
Union School—all surz‘ounded by a thriving.
shirdy, moral, Connecticut Yeomanry. ..

In the second place,the material of the
lofty pilc is, —-just what it should be,—from
pinnacle to base, massive, solid,native gran~
ite, quarried from a broad ridge just north of
the Rail road and east of the station;——of
the same general cast as that in-fhc deep cut
close by, and seen also in the conspicuous
house which was commenced by the eloquent
divine, who will figure in the history of the
Episcopal Church, as well as in the annals of
the State, he has made such valuable contri-
butions to. _

Is not this the proper material for our eco
clesiasticul architecture in Connecticut and
all New England? Doesit not least comport
with the primitive and solid character oi'our
population, and with the simplicity, firmness,

“an“

and permanence of our ecclesiastical institu»

tionsi Is it not a shame that we should be
leveying on the distant forests of the east
and west, north and south, when here is such
a material under our feet, and so easily quar-
ried from our hills and cliffs?

In the last place,some conception of the
majestic style and size of this beautiful house
of God may be derived from its cost. The
estimates, we understand, were over $32,000,
and when the sugacions farmer. (well experi-
enced in the laying of stone wall) doubted
and hesitated ; the chairman of the building
committee pledged hims’elf for the contract ;
and it is supposed his public spirit will cost
him a dear'sum,to be counted in dollars,
only by thousands, anl that perhaps in five
figures. The architect estimates the actual
cost at $60,000—another architect at $50,000,
and a gentleman, who thinks he knows some-
what about building, from large investments,
reckons it at from $75,000 to $100,000.‘

The person. most interested declares that
the public curiosity will never be satisfied as
tohis adventure, except that in a financial
sense, it has not been profitable. Yet he does
not complain. Surely such a public spirited
citizen is worthy to be had in grateful remem-
brance,but he has a higher and better reward.

Would that we had a few such l Then
should our beautiful own no more be ashamed
of its commercial emporium. which' should
soon arise, Phenix like, from its ashes!

We commend to our~citizens to attend the
dedication—on the Elk inst. The services,
morning and night, promise to be very inter-
esting. 0n ihe whole, “ we conclude.’.’ as the
preachers say, this Church is an architectural
ornament of which Fairfield County may

‘

justly be. proud .

says :---—
“ Now, if the Archbishop wields such
an immense influence over the hearts and
the purses of those who have abundant
wealth, that he can by one simple act,
requiring no greater exercise of mental
or physical effort on his part than that of
sitting in his comfortable chairin his study,
in the Episcopal residence, and writing
one short circular letter, und‘scndiug one
hundred and fifty copies of it to as many
different individuals, collect one hundred
and three thousand dollars for so charita-
ble an object as that of beginning a Ca-
thedral on the Fifth avenue at a cost of
not less than three quarters of'a million
dollars when it shall be completed, for
poor people to worship irr~—cau he not
do something towards raising funds to
support these some poor people with food,
fuel and clothing, when they and their
children shall be actually suffering for
the want of all three iii the coming win-
ter mouths? Or does he still rely upon
the kindness and liberality of Protes-
tuuts, who are accustomed to worship
God in much less expensive structures
than this one for tlrcpoor will be, locou-

tinue to supply their daily and pressing .

wants, as they have donc'f'or years? If

a Yankee, iii walking in~St. Pctersburgh
one muddy clay, met the Grand Duke
Constantine. The side walk was not wide

very deep in filth, whci-cupon'tlrci Ameri-

shook'it in his closed hand, and cried out
“Cr-Own or tail “l” “Crown,” guessed the

There was a good, representation of
farmers interested in the Society, at the
meeting, and a free discussion of subjects
connected with the general interests of
the fraternity. Some important changes
in the premium list were suggested, and
the very competent committee selected to
take this matter in charge, will no doubt
present for the approval of a .future
meeting a much improved ‘bill of Fair.’
W itlr the apparent determination of ma-
king the Agricultural Society of the
county a ‘pcrmurrcnt institution,” the
numerous suggestions. or remedying ex-
isting evils, made obvious by the experi-
ence of the past, arc. highly appropriate
and useful, t the annual irieeliugs of the
Society, arr for one, we are glad to sec
cxliibitedran increased freedom in discus-
sion. Tire report of the Treasurer show-
ing a surplus in his hands of $300, does
not include the States appropriation of
$200,—which through some informality
in application was not received ; but at a
future time will probably be added to the
amount, making the financial condiii‘ou of
the Society. of the most satisfactory char-
acter- By a continuance of tlic judicious
and economical system of conducting its
affairs that has marked its history for the
past -two years, the Society will soon be-
come, what its best friends desire to make
it, a self-sustaining institution. '

THE LUXEMBOURG-11”: mxrnnox.

PARIS, Aug. 6, 1858.

The palace of Luxembourg is one of
the oldest of the palaces of Paris, having
been built by Mary dc Medicis about
1015. It. is a fine specimen of palace ar-
clritecturc, symmetry and strength being
its most striking features. In these pur-
liculai's, the architecture of the French
public buildings is singularly uniform, and
has changed but little for several centu-
ries. The- stecp, square finish of the
roofs, as seen in the old Tuilleries are
still substantially the same, ufl'ordiwr
great Opportunities for varying the stvl:
of carving and sculpture, but retaiuiua-
the same general appearance. a.

The Luxembourg is surrounded with
historical associations. TO say nothinn'
of Mary dc Medicis and the old regime:
this palace was the place of meeting of
the Directory, and afterwards for the
Consuls under the Consulate. The Spirit

of Napoleon I. pervades the whole place,
and is represented in the elaborate fin-
ishing and furnishing of the whole palace.
Thc first room we entered contained
statues of great men of Greece and Rome,
Aristides, Solon, Pericles, Cicero, Cin-
cinnattus, also a bust of General Laplace
the first President of the Senpte under
the, empirc. You then pass through an-
other room filled with paintings and stat-
uary, prominent in which is the full length
statue of the Emperor; in his coronation
robes; and are finally introduced into
the grund‘salpon, decorated in the most.
gorgeous manner, in the centre of which
is the throne as occupied by him. The
paintings are superb, filtrstruting great
events in his wonderful career, so striking
and life-like as to render quite superflu-
ous the valuable descriptions of- the po-
litc attendant." There are other paint-
ings in the farther part of the hull illus-
trating more recent events, in which the
figure of the present Emperor is conspic
nous, also some pieces of sculpture of the
finest marble, and the most exquisite
workmanship we have yet seen.

Tire Gallery of Busts is filled with busts
Of the great generals and statesmen of
thc first Empire, and leads to the Senate
Chamber. This is a gr (I semi-circular
hall, with a vaulted roo , supported by
superb columns, and ornamented with
splendid allegorical paintings. Between
the columns and behind the chair of the
President are statues of celebrated sena-
tors. . The seats of the senators rise
gradually one above another, with the
name of each on his desk, similar to our
own, and looking very convenient and
business-like. In this hall, the infamous
farce of the trial and condemnation of
Marshal Ncy was enacted, and at the
end of the long avenue in the gardens,
and in sight of the palace, this brave
man was taken out and shot like a dog.
W e were not able to obtain access to the
library, wich is said to be very complete
and elegantly arranged. .

In the palace is a gallery of paintings,
called the Gallery of Modern Art, in
which are. exhibited the great works of
living artists, making a splendid collec-
tion. It seems‘ scarcely possible after
viewing the great galleries of the Louvre
and Yorsaillesdhat another equally great
in splendid specimens of art could be
found. There is also a fine collection of
startirnry,.both marble and bronze, and
several rooms filled with engravings, &c.,
some of them exquisitely‘bcuutiful. In
the gallery of paintings were quite a num-
ber of artists, copying the various pic-
tures, among which were no less than fiVe
copying the painting of the Hayfield, by
Rosa Bonlicur.

Tlrc gardens of the Luxembourg are
not the least of its great attractions——
They were laid out at the time the
palace was built and retain substantially
the same arrangement. It is full 0f§tat-
nary, fountains, splendid flowers, and
slrrubbcry, long avenues of trees growing
so straight and in such exact lines, as to
seem scarcely possible to be natural.—
Like all parks and gardens in Paris, it is
free to the public, and was filled with
groups of people, especially women and
children, and more particularly the latter
who appeared to be enjoying to the ut-'
most the liberty of tlicsc beautiful gar-
dens. f '

From the Luxembourg we went to the
Pantheon, which is near by, and found,
as we anticipated, a magnificent struc-
ture. It'wus built for the purpose of
making a— grand memorialplace for the
great meuof France, and especially those
of - the iii-sit revolution and empire. It
has however, since been turned into a
church, though yet retaining its form and
general arrangement, giving to it in some
reapects'an incongruous appearance. It
will, however, always be known by the
name of the Pantheon. The front is me-
jestic in its proportions, supported by Co-
rinthian columns, and in the pedimeuti a
composition of has relief, representing
France dispensing honors to her great
men. Among those Napoleon and his
companions are conspicuous, together
with Fenclon, Rosseunfloltan-e. Ln Fay-

one has done so. But in {12:13:th
stances, I shall, perhaps, not be blamed
if I go somewhat deeper into the'm‘at-
ter. In the general circumstances of the
case, I conceive that Mr. Staunton was
quite justified in declining the match -—
The fact is understood, that he has for
years been engaged in labors which
must, whatever arrangements might be
made, greatly interfere with his entering

the highest force and in constant prac-
tice, and so far the failure of the match
is tireless to be regretted. Nor can I
doubt the correctness of his recent state—
ment, that the time barely necessary for
the match itself could not be. spared
wrtlrout serious loss and inconvenience
both to others and to himself. But I

corrsrdcratencss Mr. Sta ' '
told you of this long bcfgifgonhg'gggbflf
know no reason wiry he minht not have
ascertained it, and informed, you of it in
answer to your first letter from Amer-
ica: Instead of this, it seems to are
plain, both as to the interview at which
[was present, and as to all other commu-
nications which have passed, that Mr
Staunton gave you every reason to sup:
pose that he would be ready to play the
match .within no long time. I am not.
uw.are,rndecd, that you left America solely
for the purpose of playing withMr. Staun-
tou. It would, no doubt, make your
case stronger, but it seems to me as an-
likely as that you should have come as'
has already been stated, in order to, at-
tend thc Birmingham Tournament.

The London Era says:

-“ Mr. Morphy has decided to pass the
winter in EurOpe. His decision cannot
full of giving a still greater stimulus to
European chess. Herr Anderssen, also,
has made final arrangements for beinv
iii-Paris on the 12th of December. so thaot
this much expected match will really
come off. After its termination Mr.
Morphy will probably be in England,
where plans are already afloat for giving
hiru the reception he merits.”

a, The following picture of Gerritt
Smith, is from the N. Y. Post :
“ He is public spirited, philanthrophic,
generous, independent in forming and
courageous in declaring his Opinions, but

 

self with other men. He sees the world
aroundllrim in a convex mirror, or, to use
:1 more familiar image,'on the polished
side of a silver tea-pot, which gives back
the image of Gerritt Smith‘ a hundred
times as large as all other visible objects,
so that in regard to all practical matters
in which he is concerned, he is always
forming false judgments. He does not
find out that an Opinion is unpopular un-
til there has been a vote upon it, and he
never seems to suspect that any man may
form his opinions with the same conscieu~
tiousness as himself, and perhaps with
greater wisdom.”
