other bands, or witness the performance Of
some play in the open theatres connected
with the gardens. AT the Men Well, fash
ionable place near Schonbrunn, we enjoyed
three hours witnessing the out door life of
the large number there, and listening to
the music of the King of Hanover's
Band. The entertainment was varied by the
singing of negro melodies by Christy's min
strels from the United States-but Dixie and
other airs sung in English did not seem to be
appreciated by the Germans. They looked
on with cold Indifference, not understanding
it. The double shuttle and clog dancing,
seemed to rouse their sensiblities somewhat,
and bring down the. house. On the whole
we came to the conclusion that negro min
strelsy was little out of place in German

A Visit 10 vienna.
CORTLAND,

A Visit 10 Vienna.
VIENNA, AUSTRIA, April 20, 1860.
GENERAL APPEARANCE OF THE CITY.
am agreeably disappointed in Vienna. 1t
is much finer city than / anticipated; in
some respects equal to Paris. In population
it is the third city in Europe, containing
from six to seven hundred thousand inhabi-
tants. 1t is pleasantly situated on plain
through which flows the river Danube. Rang
es of hills rise from the plains some miles be-
yond the city. The city itself is OF circular
form, IL miles in circumference. The old por-
tion is but three miles round, in the centre of
which stands the church OF st. Stephen, and
from which nearly all the streets radiate. Be
tween the old city and the new, are extensive
boulevards or promenades 200 feet wide, form
ing an octagon. They ale lined with young
trees on both sides OF the promenade. The
streets through which carriages and Ameri-
can horseca pass are in the center. Mag
nilicent buildings adorn them and public gar
dens and walks are interspersed along them.
In the course OF few years they will become
| the finest promenades of any city in Europe.
Beyond all are the suburbs of the city extend
| ing in all directions. The attractions of vien-
ma in churches and galleries are insignificant
compared with those of Italy.
| THE CATHEDRAL OF ST. STEPHEN.
The cathedral of st. Stephen is an elegant
structure, of imposing dimensions, of fine
Gothic architecture, blackened by the hand
| Of time. The interior has some fine sculpture
and stained glass; Its graceful spire is 450
feet in height. assembled 422 steps to the
watch tower, and had splendid view of the
city and its environs, the Danube winding
through them. The battle fields of Wagram,
Lobau, and Essling were pointed out to me.
The crypt of the church has been the burial
| place of the royal family, but for the past 200
| years, only their bowels have been inferred
there. Their hearts are kept in silver urns
at the church of the Augustines, and their
bodies rest at the church of Capucins. A
monk of the order who spoke English accom-
| panied us with torch to the vault under the
church 1t was gloomy looking place, but
very interesting to traveller. Here were
eighty coffins containing the bodies of the
members of the royal family of Austria. They
were of bronze, copper, and some of silver.
Some were Quite plain having simple cross
raised on them, while Others were elaborate
ly adorned. We went through the vault
quite rapidly, our guide with great volubility
calling out the names of the different emper-
ors and expresses, as his light shone On their
coains. The plain, one containing the re-
mains Of the only son of Napoleon l., lay
near that of his mother Maria Louisa, aud
OF his grandfather the Emperor Francis.
