The Teiegram has a special from London stating that lt 1B rumored that Austria has order ed ? large number of troops to the Turkish fron? tier.

New York Tribune special : There was great ex? citement, but no panic, over the Russian news In the stock exchange and elsewhere. Some such Russian step has been so long expected that the public was partly prepared for it. lt is the form and the peremptoriness or Russia's declaration which have created surprise, rather than the de? mand itself! There ia nothing yet like talk about war, bot the English Cabinet ls in no mood to be deterred by the prospect of a collision, in which, however, lt doc? not" believe. There Is nobody who says that Englan d will not in any case go to war. Both here and perhaps still more in conti? nental cabinets a sense of the Impossibility of per? mitting open dictation by Russia ls uppermost. The following correspondence has passed : ?ARL QBANYILLE TO Silt A. BITCH ANAN, BRITISH AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA. FOKEION OFFICE, November lo. Sir-Baron Brunow made to me yesterday a communication respectiug the convention be? tween the Emperor of Russia and the Su tan, limiting their naval forces lu the Black Sea, sign? ed at Paris, on the so;h March, 1S56, to which you allude in your telegram of yesterday afternoon. Da my dispatch of yesterday I gave you an ac? count of what passed between us. and I now Sropose to o serve upon Prince Gortschakofl's lspatcbes of the 10th and 20th ult., communica? ted to me by the Russian Ambassador on that oc? casion. Prince Gortschakotf declared, on the part of his Imperial Majesty, that the treaty of 1856 had been Infringed, upon lu various respects to the prejudice "OYnSssla;' and more especially in the case of the principalities, against the explicit protest of his representative, and that, in conse? quence of these infractions, Russia ls entitled to renounce those stipulations of the treaty whlcn directly touch her interests. lt is then announced that she will no longer be bound by treaties which restrict her right of sov? ereignty In the Black Sea. We have here tbe al? legation that certain facts have occurred which, In the judgment of Russia, are at variance with certain stipulations or the treaty, and the as? sumption made that Russia, on the strength of her own Judgment as to the character of these facts, is entitled to release herself from other stip? ulations of that instrument. This assumption ls limited in its practical application to some of the provMous of the treaty but the assumption of the right to renounce any one of Its terms In? volves an assumption or a right to renounce the whole. This statement is wholly independent ot the reasonableness or unreasonableness, on. its own merits, or the desire or Russia to be released from the observation or the stipulations of the treaty of 1856 respeotlug the Black Sea. for the question ls. "lu whose hands lies the power of releasing one or more of the parties from all or any of these stipulation.-?" lt Has always been held that that right belongs only|to the governments who have been purtles to the original instrument. The dispatches of Prince Gortschakon* appear to asiume that any one or the powers who have signed au engagement may allege that occur? rences have tafceu place which, in Its opinion, are at variance with the provisions of a tieaty, and although this view is not shared nor admitted bv thc cosignatory powers, We may found upon tliat allegation nota request to these governments for a consideration of the case, but an announce? ment to them that it has emancipated Itself, or holds Itself emancipated from anv stipulations of a treaty which lt thinks flt to disapprove. Yet lt ls-qulte evident that the erfect of such doctrine, or-of any proceeding which, with or without such avowal, is founded upon ir, ls to bring the entire authority and etneacy of treaties under the discretionary control of any one of the powers who muy have signed, the result or which would be the entire destruction of trea? ties In their essence; for whereas their whole ob lect ls to bind powers to one another, and for this purpose each one of the powers surrenders a por? tion of Its free agency, by the doctrine and pro? ceedings now in question, one^of the parties, In Its special and individual capacity, brings back the entire subject Into ita owu control, aud remains bound only to Itself. Accordingly Prince Gorts ohakoff hds announced in those dispatches the Intention of Russia to continue to nhserve certain of the provisions of the treaty. However satis? factory thia may be In itself, lt ls obviously an ex pression of free will or that power, which lt might at any time alter or withdraw, and lu this It ls open to the same objections as the other portions of the communication, because lt Implies the right or Russia to annul the treaty on the ground of allegations of which she constitutes herself the only Judge. ? The question therefore arises not whether any desire expressed by Russia ought to be carefully examined in a friendly sprit by the cosignatory powers, boc whether they are to accept from her the anuouneement that by her own act, without any consent from them, she has released herself from the solemn covenant. I oeed scarcely say her Majesry's Government hav?jecelved this communication wi'li deep re? gret, because lt opens a discussion which might unsettle the cordial uuderstaudiog it has been their earnest endeavor to maintain with the Rus? sian Empire; and for the above mentioned rea? sons lt ls Impossible for her Majesty's Government to give any sanction on their part to the course announced by Prince Gortscliakoff. If, Instead of such declaration, the Russian Gov? ernment had addressed her Majesty's Govern? ment and the other powers who are parties to the treaty of 1858, and had proposed for considera? tion with them whether anything has occurred which could be held tc amouut to an Infraction of the treaty, or where thsre ls anything in the terms which, from altered circumstances, presses with undue severity upon Russia; or which, lu the course of events, had become unnecessary for the due protection of Turkey, her Majesty's Govern ment would not have refused to examine the question in concert with >he conslgnaturesto the treaty.. Whatever might have been the result of such communication, a risk of future complica? tions ana very dangerous precedent as to the validity of International obligations wonld have been avoided.

Prussia Acknowledge* the Claims of Russia us to the Treaty of 183G. LONDON, November 18. Herald special:' I have authority ror stating hat telegraphic dispatches have been received by he government, indicating the position taken by 'russia la regard to the Russian question. Prussia declares that the views claimed by Rus la are natural, and that there should be an ami? able settlement of affairs. She cannot see any eason for alarm OH the part of consiguatory towers. Russia might have appealed to the con lgnatory powers for a revision of the ireaty of 'arts, but one of them has at present no organiz? ed government, and ls, therefore, unable to take tart in any congress that might have been pro tosed. It seems to ba admitted by Granville that in? actions or tte treaty have actually occurred m he case of the principalities, and uot by Russia's iction. it is immaterial whether these lurrac ions conduce to the interests or Russia or not, hey nevertheless seem to justify her tn declaring hat certain other portions or the same treaty are to longer binding, especially when she disclaims o goou faith any intentions to reopen the Eastern uestlon, or commit any act hostile to other pow rs. This is the substance of Prussia's reply, and he wiU hold aloof from any further action lu the natter. Earl Russell's Opinion. LONDON, November IS.

The Pall Mall Gazette, referring to Lord Rus- ? ell's special mission to Versailles, believes he will ? eturn in twenty-four hours with a disavowal on ie part of Prussia of sympathy with Russia's i pretensions, or will leave behind assurances that an unsatisfactory reply will be considered equlva" ent to complicity. The Journal de St. Petersburg declares that Russia will not prove unwilling to submit her de? mand to a congress, if lt eau bc called Imme? diately.

An organist, writing to the London Musical World, thus treats of a characteristic class of youths, known lu almost every church iu the country : I have had considerable to do with bellows boys In my time, ?nd know pretty weil their Mosy Hera? cles-the chief - f which is ?n lacouc hubie Inge? nuity of lnveuilou und execution or mischievous pranks and capers, that Indue lime Mower into positive diabolism.

I tory-His Own F tat? ii?eut Regarding H la Private Fortune. [Correspondence of the New York Times.] BRUSSELS, Monday, October 31. I have just returned here from a run of several weeks through Germany, during which I had Interviews with several distinguished person? ages, among others the Queen of Prussia and the captive or Wilhelmshohe. My account of my visit to the former I Include in another letter, as all-that relates to the ex-Emperor and the war naturauy claims a priority: THU INTERVIEW. Having the advantage of being personally ac? quainted with his Majesty, I had no difnculiy in obtaining admission to hU presence. He received mt with great cordiality, aud on my expressing my grail tl cat lon at seeing him looking so well, despite the rumors that had been circulated of his failing health, he laughed, and said that so far were they from being true, that he had not been a day Ul since he had left Paris, the constant ex? posure to the open air and dally exercise on horse? back having produced a marked and permanent improvement in his heulih. As continuation or this 1 may add that his Majesty walked with me ror n?arlv two hours, through the grounds of the chateau, "which are quite hilly, and tn many parts broken. In addition co i he extensive area of these grounds, he has a range or sixteen fclngllsh miles distance from the chateau assigned him; but this is merely nominal, a? he can pass the limits by a simple formality whenever lt pleases him. THE PEACE QUESTION. In the course of the conversation wnich ensued during this walk, 1 mentioned to thu Emperor the varions reports which were In circulation con? cerning his views on the peace question. Re? garding this, his Majesty said that ne could not permit any doubt to exist. He considered it Im? possible for any government tocouclude a treaty of peace with Germany on the basis of a cession of territory and hope to maintain itself in France A money indemnity and the razing of the fort ; es? ses coveted by Germany should not be allowel to stand in the way as obstacles to the conclusion of peace, but further than this the Provisional Gov? ernment, and in fact, no goverument could go. The Emperor even went so far as to say that he would prefer exile In Great Britain or the United Slates, ou tho most limited means, to accepting the restorai ion or his dynasty on such conditions as those sought to be Imposed. NAPOLEON'S PRIVATE FORTUNE. I then alluded to the statements which had been onbllshed by hts enemies regarding the amount of his private fortune, and the large sums which lt was alleged he had Invested in foreign securi? ties. He answered me with animation, "that ls a subject which touches me to the quick, because whatever may have been my errors and short? comings as a ruler, I csu truly say that I am not open to the charge of avarice or pecuniary mter estedness. I will state to you unreservedly the nature and extent of my private resources, be? cause 1 should like you to contradict all such re? ports. All that myself, wife and son actually pos? sess arc the former property of my motlier at Ar? emberg, In Switzerland, and which costa more to maintain tuan it produces; the property left to the Prince Imperial by thc Princess Bacchlochl, in Dalmatia, In consideration of of the sums which I had paid for her out or my private fortune, and which ls also unproductive; some property in Italy, which yields a trifling revenue, and a property In Spain, bo! un ?lng to the Empress previous to her marriage, and which, having been improved, also yields some rental. Taken altogether, we possess Just sufficient to en? able us to live In the simplest bourgeois style. As to our having invested money lu the foreign funds, or out or France, lt ls utterly false. Had I availed myseir or the opportunities which pre? sented themselves or investing money on the pur? chase or real estate and stocks in the United States, lt would have, perhaps, been well ror rae and my family. I have known Instances in which a moderate outluy in that way has been productive of Urne ?suits from thc enormous risc which has taken plate in the value of pro? perty lu thc Atlantic cues. NAPOLEON'S UOrSEUOLD. I then laughably remarked to the Emperor that some of the English uud ull thc French Journals were Incredulous as to his restricted means, and that they had poiuted io his numerous hous hold as evidence of Us improbability. His Majesty scorulully replied : '-Numerous household I Arc they not then aware that the officers who form what Is called my household arc fellow-prisoners with me, and are supported by the Prussian Gov? ernment? For my very servants, with two or three exceptions, lam Indebted to the consider? ate kindness or thc Queen. From the mn luv d'ho tel down to thc humblest rervmnt at the chateau, they are all selected from her Majesty's household, and were sent, with her own plate and linen, with j thc expressed object of rendering my stay here as ' little uncomfortable as possible. 1 have even de? prived myself or the services or most or my old and raltidul attendants, with a view to keep my expenditure within my income." BEOAKDIN'3 RESTORATION, I then made some allusion to thc hopc3 Pi restoration entertained hy the partisans ol the Empire, aud to the intrigues attributed to them In bondon, Brussels and Jersey. Ills Majesty re? plied to inc earnestly on this point, anil expressed Ins regret that any of the influential men who ha? occupied positions under thu Empire should Involve themselves in proceedings of so unwise a character, at a time when lt was the duty of every Frenchman to consider only thc mes ?is of driving thc Invader rrom tho soil of Franc. Circum? stances alone Hiul tue will of thc French people could oring about t he results ut which they aimed, and ult efforts to anticipate them could onlv ern! in bringing discredit ami ruin upon their anthon. Ile hoped ilia all true friends of himself and his family would bear this truth In mind. IMPES?AL GRATITUDE. The Emperor expressed hlmseir lu gra'erul terms, in regard to the kimi ness exhibited to ward the Empress nm! lils son, by people or all ranks In Mug and, aud evidently comorehcuded that the industrial classes in that country fullv appreciated thc advantages which they had de? rived from the liberal commercial policy In? augurated under ins reign. THE FALL OF METZ. On asking him how long he thought it would take to insure the full of Metz, he appeared to be under the Impression that lt had provisions enough to enable lt to hold ont for a considerable time. This comprised nearly all that trans? pired or public Interest, lu the Interview which 1 had with his Majesty, in renard to the reported unwholesomeness of Wilhelinshohe, he did uot appear to have any apprehension of that kind Lie described lt as a very agreeable residence, and be had uo doubt thal lt c >uM be rendered warm and comfortable during the winter. H'.S MAJESTY'S HABITS. As regards his Majesty's habits of life at the chateau, a few particulars may no: be uninter? esting. He rises regularly at 6, and after shaving himself and dressing, goes to bis cabinet Oe tra? vail about half-past 7. At 8 a cup of tea und a slice of bread are brought to him, after which he reads the berman, Freuch uud English papers, remaining aloiie generally up to 9 o'clock, follow? ing his old habits at the Tuileries. At 9 his pri? vate secretary, Pietrle, arrives, and remains with him until io. Ills Majesty then walks In the grounds of thc chateau until ll. when he returns to partake or a second ?ejtuner, at which he re? mains only a quarter of au hour. Thc dishes are so straple that lils officers make lt a subject of complaint. The party then retire Into an adjoining parlor, where smoking aud conversa? tion are unrestrictedly Indulged In, lils Majesty smoking lils favorite cigarette, out ustinllv talklug very little. The Emperor then returns to" lils cab? inet to occupy himself willi his correspoudcuce or receive persons of his household on private business. He remains there until half-past, three or four o'clock, when be cither orives, rides or walks out, always prefernug the latter exercise when the weather permits. When he drives out he most frequently uses the cal?che and hurses sent him by tue Queen ol Prussia, tie returns in time to dress Tor dinner, which ts usually served ut half-past 6 o'clock, thu Emperor ?. ?lg al? ways attired en ?ounjeoln, while the French officers residing lu thc chateau always appear in uuiiorm ami with their decorations. "The dluner usually consists or a mixture or Freuch and Ger? man dishes, bm- is ou the traolo very simple, ac? cording io the Emperor's taste. Alter remaining at table about half an nour, his Majesty aud his household usually retire to a parlor, when cofl?" and cigars are served. Alter a short time passed in conversation the Emperor occasionally sits down to a game of cards with some or his officers but much more frequently plays at patience ? game of which he is extremely loud. After an hour passed lu this way, he generally calls mioii one ol' his suite to read and a popular novel la not unfrequeutly thc work selected.

[Paris Correspondence Loudon Times.] There ls a celebrated mad-house here in which there has been confined, fer some three months past, a man who has lost his reason after a severe attack of lever. His health began to im? prove, and bis reason to return, until he vras so far recovered last week that heasked Dr. Blanche i for permission to write to his family. The doctor thought a moment, andi agreed; but, he added, "You had better write without delay, for there 1 is a balloon going to-morrow, and Byour letter ls written at once, lt can go by that." "By the balloon ! said the convalescent madman, ope Din g his eyes. "Yon mean the railway." "Ko," said the doctor, "I mean by balloon. I forgot to tell you that Paris ls besieged, and tbat au our te tiers go by balloon." The Invalid gave a shriek of des? pair, and holding Ids head on his hands, cried, with agonized looks, "I have been mad; I have had a fearful , dream. I thought I was cured I 1 thought I was oared I I am mad I mad I mad I Oh, my God-mad I" "No, my friend, be tranquil; you are not mai." "Then lt's yon; you have be? come mad. What is the matter ? What has troubled you ? Whence this Insanity T" And surely no one can look upon Paris and see aU the won? ders of this troublous time, with its manifold Transformations, In whtcb' we all seem to be standing on onr heads, and the houses and theatres and palaces diverted to uses the very opposite of that to which they are accustomed, without sharing somewhat of the recovered mad? man's feeling, and admitting that he has perfectly described the condition of Paris as a lunatic's dream? If the madman was astonished at the manner in which lt was proposed to carry his letters out of Paris, what would he have .said to Che method by which lt is proposed to get answers back? Ic ls, perhaps, well that tue doctor did not meution this, or his patient might have gone clean mad again. We nave tried all methods, aud have fail? ed. One remains-namely, to get a pigeon to carry back 30.000 answers. Bow ls a pigeon, which will carry but the lightest feather weight of a letter on Its tall, to convey to us 30,000 re? plies? By means of photography, which has the power to reproduce au Infinity of details in an Infinitesimal space. A whole letter may be print? ed by the photographer in the space of a pin point, and many thousands of letters might in this way b<? printed on a tliin sheet of paper, which, on Its arrival In Paris, wonld be submitted to the microscope and enlarged. Do not smile at this scheme, or, ir you do, remember chat ic ls wrung from hearts which are pining to have news of their ramilles, and whish seize with sen? sitive eagerness on any and every scheme which may be suggested to bring them tidings of their best beloved. Yesterday the Anal blow was given to a scheme for bringing back answers which was much want? ed, but which inspired no raith whatever In the mind or any sensible man, not to say a scientific one. M. Wilfred de Fonvlelle undertook to pilo : a balloon back to Paris. There ls no reason to doubt that one of these days we may be able to steer a balloon through the air-far more wander? in! things have happened-bat as yet, at least, we are not near a solution of the problem. Bow ever, M. de Fonvlelle undertook the task, aud some people put fatth In him. They constructed for his use the largest balloon which has yet been produced; they have been three weeks preparing lt-we have been told every day for the last three weeks that lt would start. It had a huge basket flt to hold ten passengers, and lt was to bc Ailed with hydrogen, which ls considerably lighter than the ordinary coal gas used for the balloons of Na? dar, and which, therefore, might be expected to carry a greater load. If I had known for certain that the balloon was going to start yester? day I would have sonta dispatch by lt; but I had given up all hope of lt and shortly arter midday, accompanied by a friend who had agreed to pay ?80 ro get a dispatch oat lu De Fonvlelle's bal? loon, La Liberte, I went up to Montmartre to see what M. Nadar was doing with his "orostats," as they are called herc. Conceive our horror as we turned on the hill and saw the great balloon-so great that it could be no other than La Liberte rolling tu the sky aud pitching about like a drunk? ard. There was a stroug wind, and now lt heeled over, then recovered itself, now again heeled over. then steadied for a minute, and at length got lost in the driving clouds. What of thc ten passen? gers? Am.' what of the luggage and sacks of let? ters that were to accompany them ? We Btood aghasiyfnll or horrible conjectures, which were all the more pammi as this particular balloon had beon promoted by a company of whom about half were Englishmen : end the balloon might even b? described as itali English. The simple fact was this, as we afterwards learned, that the captain of the balloon, M. de Fonvlelle, had not taken sufficient care that the balloon should be held down or anchored with the proper wt.ght. The weights were taken out In order chat the pas? sengers might gel in, and while the balloon was kept down ny a number of men, lt gave a lurch. Some or the men let go-'hey had no notion or being carried up Into the air: the rest who held on were too light to keep the balloon down; they, too, were compelled to let go, aud od' it weuc without cargo of a nv kind. You ami nil the good people who are outside of Paris will laugh, and no doubt lt was comical en ugh to see the passen? gers with their portmanteaus all ready to em? bark, and their friends all collected around with field glasses to take the lase view or them, and behold, at the appointed hour, off goes the bal loon without a soul, lint lc is a sud business tor us who are shut In, and who have many longing thoughts of the world outside. However, there for the present ls an end to M. de Fonvlelle's balloon and to his hope of steer? ing tc back. lc ls i he seconl serious misfortune that has happened to our balloons, tho first hav? ing happened toa balloon which storied on the Itu, thc same day as Gambetta's. I ibserve that In a telegram from Berlin, which appeared lu the Times of October 10. lt ls stared that two balloons, with a complete cargo of official correspondence, have been t?Ken, Tile telegram, however, does not state whether Ol' not these were what are called herc ballons montes or ballons Ubres. A lew rree balloons were sent out about a ronnlghc ago but they only contained unimportant.letters, no passengers, no aeronaut, and lt ls two or these, as I take lt, that ure recorded as having been cap? tured, lu the Beniu telegram. At the same Hmo, lt ls right tu mill that two mounted balloons lort here, from which pige ms returned, lint without any .message, lt is only un Inference that these balloons are safe; still, lc ts au Inference which approaches to certainty. Of the four pigeons dls putciied from the two balloons which left here on October 7, with M. Gambetta, only one hail a message on its wings; all the others meant saff arrivai, although they hud no message. GOLD AND BOND MARKET. NEW YORK, November 18-Evening.

X e a d e m y of Mn n le. Toe amusing comeuT.T o? "Irish Assurance and Tanc?e Modesty," with Mr. Florence as "Pat,?,.and Mrs! Florence as '?Nan.cjr," keptihe audience last night Ina conacuous roar oflaugh ter, from first to last. Both the Stars appeared tobe entirely In their orbit; and the audience showed its appreciation by,eucoitug the charming songs of Mis. Florence, and by calling both her and Mr. Florence before, the curtain between the acts. ' ... The sec?n* piece, 'Thrice Married," ff such a thing were possible, delighted the .audience" yet ' more, and afforded a fine scope for the wonderful versatility of Mrs. Florence, who appealed as a Spanish danseuse; as a French cantatrice, apd as a zouave, acquitting herself In every one of these roles with her usual brilliancy. To-night is the last night of the Florences, and those of our citi? zens who have not yet seen them* should by all means embrace the opportunity and get an eve-. mug's hearty enjoyment. The programme for to? night is the Irish drama, "Temptation, or the Irish Emigrant;'.' to conclude with Mrs. F:orence's protean comedy, ''Mischievous Annie!" Davenport Brothers. The Davenport Brothers gave another of their extraordinary s?ances last evening to an Immense audience, largely representing the Intelligence and culture of Charleston. The names of several gentlemen had been handed to Professor Fay as a committee for the occasoa, but they not respond, lng, Major E. Willis and Mr. E. Horry Frost were requested to ascend the stage and keep watch over the performances of the tricksy sprites. The same formalities were gone through with as upon the previous occasion, with the same re. suits. Major Willis, Mr. Frost and Mr. DeFon taine were successively tied within the mysterl ous cabinet between the brothers, with one hand grasplag each of them, and, in this position all the marvellous, edee ts . were experienced which we recorded yesterday. Invi? sible bauds plucked at their persons, the instru? ments within executed a ghostly danoe, and dis? coursed a most weird and (unmelodlus music, showing that the spirits had at least not gradu? ated in the highest schools of harmony. The hands which were protruded from the aperture in the cabinet, In the sight of the audience, were white and delicate, and of different sizes and shape'. Sometimes they appeared before the doors were entirely closed, steall og along the Inner sides, of the cabinet lu a decidedly eerie way. Mr. De Fon taine, upon being released rrom ?his posi? tion in the cabinet, announced lt as his profound conviction that that was -'about the scariest place he had ever been in his life;" a confession which the audience seemed highly to relish. The dark s?ance which succeeded was still more incomprehensible. The whole hall was darkened and guitars and tambourines curvetted around and about in wavy lines, which the phosphorus with which they had been rubbed endowed with a peculiarly spectral appearance. Professor Fay, with his hands securely tied behlud his back, and his leet tied together and to the chair, both knots being sealed with sealing-wax by thejcoratnlttee, and two coins placed upon his feet which the slightest movement would displace, was despoiled of his coat, clothed again with Major Willis's coat which had been placed near him, and all without seal or coins being ever so slightly disturbed. This last feat was deoldedly the cleverest or the evening, and was admirably performed. Altogether, we are bound to admit that all that the Davenports promised was abundantly exe? cuted, and that, In whatever light the perfor? mance be viewed, lt certainly far exceeds .-In mystery and marvellousness anything we have ever before witnessed. There will bc one more entertainment this evening, and all who wish to be puzzled may then be grail tied to their heart's content. THE NEW MASONIC TEMPLE_The action of the Grand Lodge on Wednesday night, In adopt? ing the report of the committee on a new hall, has made the building or the new Masonic Tem? ple In Charleston a tlxe J fact. The pian adopted, upou which the new temple ls to be erected, was furnished to thc committee some time ago by Mr. J. II. Devereux, who has likewise drawn the de? signs for every part and portion or the new build? ing In detail. Tho building Is to be erected in the rear of the present Masonic Hall, aud when com? pleted will be worthy of the numerous and honor? able order by whom lt ts put up. The exertions or the Grand Lodge, and the noble aid furnished by thc subordinate lodge's, have raised a sum or ?22,000, which is estimated to be very I?SJ? the. amount required. No builder has yet been Axed upon who will undertake to carry out the plans or Mr. Devereux. Thc new temple will-have a front or eighty-six reel, with a depth of slxty-rour feet, comprising thc lot In the rear or the present building. Thc small btlck house now on thc lot will be pulled down as soon as the building is begun. The front ls to bo on Wentworth street, with a main en truuee twenty feet wide, leading to a vestibule beautirully frescoed and np.ched for statuary. On the ground floor the building will be divided Into three large stores, with glass fronts, on Went? worth street. Thesecond floor, which will be seventy reet long by sixty-feet wide, will be used as one Graud Lodge room, and will afford ample room for delegations rrom all the country lodges. This hall will connect with the present hall, which will suit admirably for a supper room, the old re? freshment hall being given up for cloak-rooms, Ac. Two large lodge rooms, each sixty feet by thirty, will constitute the third floor of the build? ing, with small rooms adjacent for the prepara? tion and examination rooms. The main hall, from which a magnificent stair, way will ascen t to the upper stories, will bo light, ed with long Gothic windows, from floor to ced? ing, and the walls arc to be frescoed and gold panelled. Judging from the design, the building will be one of the most beautiful ornaments or our city, and with the new patent system or ven? tilation to be used in adjusting the windows, will also be one of tho most comfortable to Its occu? pants in the hottest weather we may have. The temple will present a different appearance from any other building In the city when completed; and although Mr. Devereux has shown his skill In every part of our city, this last effort will be the orownlng piece to his other performances.
