he city. It was a mass of both sexes, representing every age and condition. Woman was probably in the majority—grand-mother, mother, maiden, children by the hand, infant in the arms—all with flushed cheeks and warm eyes. The crowd had begun to assemble before 3 o'clock, by 4:30 o'clock it was a mass more than a half a mile in extent. The street was packed, windows and balconies were thronged, housetops were covered. Washington and Lee. When Washington's statue arrived here from Munich, in 1858, it was placed upon a great wagon to which a large number of horses and mules were attached. They, however, didn't pull together. Hence the progress was poor. At times they threatened to come to a full stop. It was then, responding to the popular enthusiasm and demand, that the draught-animals were taken away and ropes affixed to the vehicle, and with men and boys to man them the colossal statue (all of it except the tail in one piece) was easily, gracefully, and expeditious

ents was a bust of Gen. Robert E. Lee, executed by the late Frederick Volck; presented by the Society of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States of Maryland. The bust was undertaken about the time of the battle of Chancellorsville, when General Lee was in his mental and physical prime. The lineaments were carefully taken by actual measurement, and Mrs. Lee herself arranged the hair of the General for the sitting. The clay model was carried to Europe, and the bust was cast in bronze at Munich, by Weber, under Volck's direction. Volck had received a commission to execute a statue of Stonewall Jackson, and was in Europe for that purpose when the collapse of the Confederate States came. A pocket handkerchief belonging to the great General, given by Mrs. Henry C. Scott, of Ashland; a crucifix made of bullets collected from the battle of the Crater, and given by Mrs. Randolph Tucker. Although the display is as yet small, the ladies have had assurances from the Confederates of Mar

uyee, which first brought Mrs. Jameson into literary prominence. I read afterwards with avidity the two later volumes in which she gives so good an account of modern art work in Europe. In these she speaks with enthusiasm of certain frescoes in Munich which I was sorry, many years later, to be obliged to consider less beautiful than her description of them would have warranted one in believing. When I perused these works, having myself no practical knowledge of art, their graphic style seemed to give me clear vision of the things described. The beautiful Pinakothek and Glyptothek of Munich became to me as if I actually saw them, and when it was my good fortune to visit them I seemed, especially in the case of the marbles, to meet with old friends. Mrs. Jameson's connoisseurship was not limited to pictorial and sculptural art. Of music also she was passionately fond. In the book just spoken of she describes an evening passed with the composer Wieck in his German home. In this she

HomŒPathic. --A German journal states that the number of homŒpathic physicians now practising is 3,254, of whom 1,612 are in America. There are five homŒpathic colleges in Germany, viz: two at Prague, two at Munich and one at Vienna; one in London and one in the United States

ge is contradictory, but no new movement of importance is chronicled.--Francis the Second had issued a proclamation, calling upon the garrison to defend the place to the last. The province of Viterbo continued in a state of insurrection, and it was reported that the French were preparing to evacuate the province. The Mobilized National Guard of Naples, destined for Upper Italy, had been organized. The Bavarian Minister at Turin having been recalled, the Sardinian. Minister at Munich had received orders to vacate his post. The French fleet was expected soon to leave Gaeta. A telegram from Rome, of the 15th, says the bombardment of Gaeta was to be re-commenced in consequence of the non-acceptance by Francis the Second of the conditions of surrender. A Naples dispatch says that France had succeeded in inducing the belligerents to consent to a suspension of hostilities, in order that negotiations for the surrender of Gaeta might be entered upon.

raising funds to supply the Confederate army with medicines, surgical instruments, &c., and to day he gives a dinner at the Grand Hotel in Paris to several leading Southerners and sympathizers, including Capt. Maffit, of the Florida. And, by the way, this terrible little destructive, in a condition better than new, will leave Brest in about ten days, to resume her mission on the mighty deep.--Maffit will have to remain some two months longer in the hands of the Paris doctors. Capt. Hartstein, of the Confederate Navy, is very ill at Munich. Lieuts, Morris, Campbell. Lee, and Barron, of the same service, are now in Paris waiting for a ship. Capt. Blakeley, who has just arrived from St. Petersburg, is much chagrined at the reported bursting of his "big gun," at Charleston. He ordered at once, by telegram, a brother to the monster to be made at once. No gun of that calibre, he says, can stand a high elevation; and for point blank work he thinks nothing can stand against them.

these noted rebels coming here, it is said, was to raise money for the "Confederate States of America," but in what manner to be raised I have not learned. It is said a second cotton loan will be proposed, but in what manner, or upon what terms, only these rebels, as yet, know. They keep pretty "shady," and do not reveal many of their plans. Erlanger will be slow in taking another cotton loan, as it is known his son has told Mr. Hersch and several other persons, viz: prominent bankers in Munich and other places, that he lost money in that $15,000,000. This may or may not be so. Here he tells it quite differently and informs everybody that he has made several millions of florins out of it. He seems to be dealing indiscriminately in our National stocks as well as in Confederate, only that he cannot sell the latter in this market. Sometimes he is seen buying them, but oftener selling, and he sends large orders for them to New York, as the market is generally higher here than there.
