E CARNIVAL A ROME.
Madame de Stael, in Corinne, gives
the following:
The last day of the carnival is the
gayest in the year. The Uoman pop
ulace carry their rage for amusement
to a perfect fever unexampled else
where. The whole town is disguised
the very gazers from its windows are
masked. This begins regularly to the
appointed day, neither public or pri
vate affairs interfering with its indul-

has the same advantage and perhaps
these are the .only cities in Italy of

that the mind is feasted at every cor
ner of the streets. The kmd of gaie

contributed to give them a reputation
for cunning- Doubtless, there is a
habit of feigning among a people that
have borne so many yokes but w«
must not always attribute their rapid
changes of manner to dissimulation.
An inflammable imagination is often
its cause. Reasoning people may
readily preserve their consistency but
all that belongs to fancy is unpremedi
tated she overleaps gradations, a tri
fle mny wound her, or that which oug't
to move her most be past by. with in
difF-PHkse she is in heir own world,
aud in it ere is no calculating ef
fects by causes. For we wonder
what f-nlei-tainment the Roman nobles
find in driving from one end of the
Corso to the other for hours together
every day in the year, yet nothing
breaks in upon this custom. Among
the masks, too, may be found victims
of ennui, packed up in the drollest of
dresses, sad harlequins and silent
clowns, who satisfy their carnival con
science by merely seeking to divert
themselves.
In Rome they have one kind of
maskers that nowhere else exist, who
in their own persons, copy the antique
statues, and from a distance perfectly
realize their beauty. Many of the
women are losers by renouncing this
disguise. Nevertheless, to behold life
imitating motionless marble, however
gaacefully, strikes one with fear. The
carriages of the great and gay throng
the streeets but the charm of these
festivities consist in their saturnalian
confusion all classes are mingled the
gravest magistrates ride among the
masks with almost official assiduity.—
All the windows are decorated all thetheir
world out of doors: the pleasures of
the populace consists not in their feasts:
they commit no excess but revel solely
in the delight of mixing with their bet
ters, who, on their parts, are as divert
ed with being thrown among those
beneath them. More refined and deli
cate tastes and more finished educa
tion tan only sustain barriers between
different classes. But Italy as hath
been said, is more distinguished by
ring the carnival all minds and allwater
manners blend: the shouting crowds
that indiscriminately shower their bon
bons on the passers by confound the
whole nation pellmell, as if no social
order remained. Corinne and Nelcombatants
ville arrived in the midst of this up
roar at first it stunned them for noth
ing appears stranger than such activi
ty of noisy enjoyment, while the soul
is pensively retired within herself.—
They stopped iu the Piazza del popolo
to ascend the amphitheatre near the
obelisk, thence to overlook the horse
racing. Nelvill expected to see a race
like those of England: but was sur
prised to learn that small Barbary
steeds were about to make the contest
without riders. This is a very favorite
sport with the Romans.
When it was about to commence
the crowd ranged,themselves on each
side of the street. The Place, late so
thronged, was emptied in a minute
every one hurried to the stands which
surrounded the obelisks while a mul
titnde of black heads and eyes, were
turned towards the barrier from which
the barbs were to start. They apt
without bridle or saddle, their
backs covered with bright luted stuffs
They were led by well dressed'grooms,
passionately interested in their success.
As the animals reach the barrier, their
eagerness for release is almost uncon
trolabfe they rear, neigh, and paw
the earth, as if impatient of the glory
they are about to win, without the aidface,
or guidance of man. Their prancing,
and the rapturous cry of **ttHfm,"
as the barrier fall*, has a perfectly
theatrical effect. Thegroofns are all
voice'isrid gesture, as lohg^ as their
horses remain in' sight which are jM
as mankind of one another the
sparks fly beneath their ifeet }i elnpir
manes float wildly on the breeze and
such is their desire to reach the goal
that some have fallen there dead. To
look on these free things, all animated
by personal passion, is astounding—as

E A N I E I IN
LOUISVILLE.
The Democrat of Louisville gives a
fuller account of the reumt brutal prize
fight near that city thtHve have be
fore seen:
Louisville hasjust bee^Hgraced by
the occurrence in the vie^^y of themain
city of one of those brutal and disgust
ing exhibitions, illustrative of the man
ly art of self-defence, but to speak
more properly, exemplifying the baser
passions and lower appetites of the
race.
Yesterday was the day arranged for
the fisticuff encounter between two
champions of the ring—" Dublin
Tricks" and McCooley, both of Irish
paternity, and both clean-limbed, well
nmsclod and bold looking men. The
match was for $400, and hud been ar
ranged some weeks ago, since which
time the bullies'" have been in clp^c
and active training.
Two boats were chartered to take
those fond of the sport to the scene of
the fight, which was a beautiful beech
grove in Indiana, just at the head of
Twelve mile island. The John Bell
and Pink Varble were both well load
ed with passengers, at least 400 per
sons being desirous of seeing two of
fellow creatures batter and bruise
themselves. These passengers, how
ever, manifested a decided aversion to
being known, and crowded on the left
deck so not to be observed and rec
ognized from the wharf.
So soon as they had arrived—the
champions having boarded the boats
some miles up the river—the ring was
formed, and the men prepared in bat
tle costume that is, they were strip-
ped to the waist, and their feet clad in
universal talent than by its cultivation! iron pegged shoes. In went "Dublin
among the aristocracy! Therefore du- Tricks," and then McCooley—the ice-
and sponges being prepared by
the bottle-holders. Tricks" advanc
ed to McCooley and offered to bet him
$25 that he would win the match. The
banter was accepted, and then the
went to work.
Not, howev r, before it was ascer
tained that "Dublin Tricks" had cov
ered his hands with rosin, thus more
perfectly indurating them, so that
whenever he struck he would draw
blood. He was required to wash his
"paws" thoroughly, and then, after a
discussion relative tothe length of pegs
in their shoes, the set-to commenced]
We are not able to give an official
record of each round, as we are not the
organ of the people who fancy that
species of amusement. Suffice it to
say that McCooley drew the first blood.
Prior to that,the bets had been against
him at considerable odds. Now they
Were even. After. thirty, rounds, in
whicli there was delightful pummel
ing, each struck scientific blows, ac
cording to the rules. ."Dublin Tricks"

to escape the enthusiastic demonstra

McCooley escaped with a battered

and the stakes. "Dublin Tricks" Was
sO dreadfully beaten that he hafto be

honors or money, but a face that will
require some titiiie to heal, and a body
that will ache for months.
I And thus ended this exposition of
the manly art. There was a large
crowd in attendance of ail sorts, Sizes*
conditions and professions. There
were lawyers who have thvndered
against vice in the ctmrt room, and
gentlemen whose" honor would be
soiled by contact with a blackguard.
Their overweening curiosity overcame
all compunctions of conscience, and
they assembled in the same group with
worst pests of society.
When the John Bell returned to her
wharf there was an immense, crowd of
Irish awaiting the' arrival of the cham-

and an illumination was improvised by
placing on the balconies all the light:!
which were inside the apartments.
The effect was striking, for it was
the-illumination of the whole town at
the same moment—so spontaneous and
sudden that il showed better than any
thing, how united the Milanese are in
feeling, at any rate at this nioriieiit.

M. Blondin appeared in the pleasure
garden, where the American end ofleagues
the rope was fastened. There was a
short tight-rope erected herein, upon
which the danng Frenchman mounted *™?W*, $M@!fe
and went through many of his mo&t
graceful and pleasing feats, to thethe
great admiration of the spectators. He
was dressed in a dress similar to thechosen
one frequently worn by acrobats and
public gymnasts, viz: pink tights,
buckskin moccasins, and spangled
tunic of yellow silk he was barehead
ed, without even the fillet of white sat
in that is frequently worn.
At 15 minutes past 5 he stepped up
on the large rope, where he conversed
a few minutes with his friends in
theimpulse
most cool and unconcerned manner,
having apparently no more doubt, of
his successfully accomplishing this un
dertaking than he had of attempting
it. As he stood for a minute on
thethe
rope, before stepping out, he addressed
the crowd as follows
"Gentlemen, any one what please to
across, I carry him on my back."
No one seemed disposed to accept
the kind offer, and having joked a few
minutes longer, he at last started on
his perilous journey. He walked rap
idly and firmly, as if he had been on a
bridge, until he chose to stop to in
dulge in some gymnastic evolutions for
a few minutes, lie balanced himself
on one leg, sat down, and lay down on
the rope at full length, then, recover
ing himself, he walked to the middle of
the river, where he again stopped to
accomplish yet another feat not down
in the bill. Here, standing.on the rope
with as much indifference as if it was
a solid platform, he deliberately low

the riverj he walked on, stopping no
more until he: reached the Canada
shore. waa exactly nineteen min

On his arrival at the Canada shore he
was cheered vociferously. He waited
here about half an hour, when he pre

on the rope to eonrmen'c& his, return
passage. He rested but once,' laying
down on the rope for two minutes, and
accomplishing the return trip in eight
minutes,
But it was this morning that the ex
citement and frenzy attained their cul
minating point. A 8 o'clock the Em
peror and King made their entry into
town. It would have been a par
donable vanity if the two sovereigns
had made their triumphal entry into
the Italian capital of the eiie'm^ wkh
all the pomp which such an entry ad
mits. "Well, not only was no advan
tage taken of such an opportunity, but
every showing off was studiously
avoided. Nobody knew up to the la*t
when the entry was to talke
place, and. anNearly hour was chosen
in order not to leave the people liiae to
prepare for the reception. -No troops
preceded, giving notice beforehand
that the moment was approaching.
No splendid uniforms or gaudy car
riages. It was simply the entry of Uvc

Emperor to his right, both followed
by their staff. The shortest noad was
to pass through the town to the
Villa Bonaparte, which is near fche
Giardini Puolici but it was all in vain.
The news of their arrival spread with
the quickness of lightiiiusr, and was
made patent by one frantic shout of
joy, with which I might almost sav the
whole town gave vent to their, feelings
the thousands who were already
thronging the streets began with one
to hurry in the direction from
which the shout first arose. -The ?cene
itself, while the two sovereigns actual
ly passed, it is impossible to describe.
Imagine the madness of enthusiasm,
whole heart of a people poured out
before those who had .delivered it from
along thraldom. Such may have been
the reception of those demigods of old
after k*Uing some wild monster which
had desolated the world. Not an eye
remained tearless, and proud mnsi
have been the moment for both. Oue
such moment is almost sufficient to re
pay for all the cares, sacrifices and
risks, without which a great work like
theirs cannot be accomplished and
necessary, too, are such moments, for
they give strength for new efforts.
All the outward decorations disap
peared before the greeting of the peo
plej the flowers, so long prepared for
the occasion, were almost forgotten iu
the emotions ot the moment, and fell
often long before those had passed for
whom they had been intended. For
the first time I saw emotion pierce
through that mysterious and impene
countenance of the Emperor---

The Rev. Mr. Richmond, of Mil

versy with the people of that city, on
account of his boldness in denouncing
some of the political abuses of Wiscotir

ticular. gave notice recently that
the convention of the diooese would
meet at Fond du Lac, and invited all
who had any charge to bring against
him to lay them before the Bishop and
Presbyteries at that time. then
defied them as follows:
I challenge and defy the malcon
tents, who are moved only by Sat: »i, to
the trial. Let them lace vrc in the
convention if they dare, and 1 will rip
