Tim gxpßEßs, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1858;

bathe great scene of &Bremen& I &earthed the '1
preparations, yea mist Imagine the result. Limeglmel
all these quaint outlines brilliantly lfgliteil eft Ist
appearing es if supeeded la the misty sky; hesise
three miles of walls, draped In sparkling halms;
imagine, or rather realise, the escheated pan of
Amide, with its fountains of diamonds, its trees co-
vered with pearls and rubies, and its oeseades
of liquid gold and silver. The architectural outline
of every building seemed accurately traced out with
a pencil light, and not only the outline, but every
ornameat that could be found on the surface. The
tower of Ivan Wilke looked like a colossal Caw ar-
rayed in a meads of diamonds, and with a coronet
of rubles encircling hie head. The odd-looking St.
Basil was, by the magic infante, of tallow in a state
of combustion, transformed into a fairy palace, and
the more modern buildings of the Kremlin were as
delicately traced out in light as they might have
been in the architect's plan. Across the water we
looked down upon an enchanted city, and the quiet
waters of the Mcekwa looked like liquid firs tram
the reflection of the lights. The aborigines pro-
nounced it to be the finest illumination they had
ever had in Moscow, and the travellers vowed
that it ouspletely eclipsed the Itomen illumina-
tion. Next to the Kremlin, the piece in which the
great theatre is situated wee most remarkable
for the taste of the design and the beauty
of the effects produced. This is an immense expanse,
four times the extent of Liocoles-inn-fielda, snd at
one end stands the purls* theatre, with its greed
Corinthian portico sad its magnificent facade. On
the other sides, at intervals, stand various buildings,
all of which had for the present occasion been con-
nected by a handsome amen of many arches, so that,
when lighted up, the whole enceinte of the iguana
formed one coomplete and continuous design. Above
all, and before all, stood the theatre itself, every flats
, in the pillars, every scroll or ornament in theospitale
or entablature, being accurately traced out in living
light. The illumination had made it au enchanted
palace, and the state of the atmosphere hung it, as it
were, is the air, producing every moment from the
i thousands of spectators shouts of astonishment and
, delight. I myself, although not altogether unused
to seems of this description, enjoyed the luxury of a
new sensation, and have not as yet recovered suffi-
ciently from my wonder to give you more than the
above loose, general impulsions of the illuminations
of Moscow.

His Imperial Majesty Alexander 11. hes appointed

I fled; it was eleven o'clock at night, and
Si they were running off, a sentinel belonging
to the Coam (hard genies fired his musket. The
Lardof the Maestri gate, alarmed by this noise,
d a ammo. Two companies of the sharpshooters
were then called out to go and occupy the two ends
of the street of Elsa Glenne. The inhabitants of
the street stood at the window. ready to receive
them, and armed with stones and everything else
that was heavy which they could find in their houses.
The sharpshooters did not enter the street, but they
fired their muskets at the windows and wounded
a woman there. One person was also killed
and several wounded, some of them being persons
who were last owning out of the theatre, and did not
know what was the matter. On the side of the
troops there were ten soldiers wounded, and one of
the genend'armes has not been seen sioce,only his hat
has been found. This brief sketch, which will give
you some idea of the present state of people's minds
in Italy, is taken from a ghorn letter.
