Though warm weatlD has not yet made its ap-
pcarance, We have enjoyed three 6ne days since
Monday last. Astronomers who have been ro-
quested to give explanation Of the pre- sent tenn
perature, have published report, stating that at
this moment, the earth is surrounded by a large
number Of panetaran corpusclcs, which are inter-
posed between US and the We shall remain in
this condition till tho next moon, till the 10th
instant. The passage Of tho earth among these
nebulD has been already sgnalined by falls of aero
lites, and about dozen accounts have been pub
lished already in tho newspapers.
Thus far Paris has been spared; and, though the
city has been free from the invasion Of aerial
"brcks," we have sights Of many strangers, who
often, at night, met in the cafes, rest Iurants
and public gardens, ''tight as bricks" Who
can believe that the number Of foreigners now in
the great city Of Paris amounts to $4,000 persons
The greatest part of those foreigners English
men, who used up by the beauties Of the Worlds
Fair, have como to France. Two thousand citizens
of Berlin were present, on Tuesday last. at the per-
formance at the Hipposrome. The circus Of the
Elysian fields is nightly invaded by Spaniards, and
the Theatre Frsncais by large number Of Rus
slams.
But, en- rcranche, the arstocracy Of Paris have
abandoned the city. The season is over, and
all the danseuses, dandies, sportsmen, lions,
lordtes, milliners, dressmakers, and all the idle
people, have taken leave ofthe capital. This may
be called the "rctreat Of the ten thousand on
large scale There is no way to resist the strength
Of the torrent the waters Of which are rolling the
ship Of fashion towards London.
The era Of railway pleasure trains has already
begun company has been organized, by which,
for the small and trifling amount Of i5O frsncs,
($5c,) tho Parisans taken to London, ria Hoppe
and Boulogne, furnished with q ticket (going aud
rcturniDg) for the railways and steamers, bed
room, meals, the pleasures and sights Of the Exhi.
bition, during an entire week. The undertakers of
this SPECULATION, who live at the Boulevard Mont
martre, No. IL, have already published their pros
pectus IN all the newspapers Of Paris, and have
roated their large bills on all the walls OF the city
The first train will leave in few days. Every
thing is already prepared-wagons, stages, steam
crs. The passengers have only TO give themselves
and luggage TO the company, whose agents
ready TO take of men and things. Seven houses
wen furnished in every style Of comfort, have
opened their doors for tho guests Of the company.
An excellent cook has heated his fo,TNeaar, and
every traveller may ENJOY the bcst dishes to be had
in the great capital Of England. Seven days in
London for ono hundred and 6lty francs Is not
that chap am sure that this company will have
more to do than has boen anticipated; aad would
advise all the Americans whose intention Is 20
visit the grand Exhibition, TO come first TO Paris,
and thence they may proceed to London on these
fruinS ds Jt0tSa.
