TELEGRAPH, Dec. %, 1862
Paragraphs similar to the above are constantly
going the rounds of our newspapers. Editors are
expected to know everything; but they do not, and
1t is truly wonderful they know much. Ireland ia
as much an enigma as woman and, OF course, as
dnicult to comprehend. A few years ago the London
Times, for some purpose or other, asserted that
Ireland was being filed up with English and Scotch
farmers. This statement was Immediately accepted

From the 1ling OF the first petition under the En-
numbered Estates Act in october 1s49 to the month
OF August 1859 ut is only under the operation OF this
act that the land OF ireland in moderate farms

The Irish bought e24, ,10O,7SO. The English and
Scotch who were said to be buying up all the land
in ireland, bought cl 090 039. The proportions are
stated in Appletons Encyclopedia" as being G22, ,0OO
900 and CO 600 but the figures given here
fully collected from 'Thom's 0hlcial Directory" for
1861. The reason OF the mistake in the "Encyco-
pedia" is apparent many OF the English and Scotch
purchasers failed to comply with the terms OF sale,
and the lands in such cases remained unsold or
were sold to Irish purchasers.
II would thus appear that Ireland was likely to con-
tinue "Irish."

THE ITALIAN OPRRA.-The musc-loving public of
Philadelphia have certainly not had a surfelt OF Ita
liam opera for the past two or three seasons and
with the attractions that Mr.. Maretzek Offers the
Academy of Music ought to be crowded every night
during the brief season of fourteen performances
that is announced to commence on next Monday
evening. The price for subscription tickets is GER
tanly remarkably low and at but little more than
q dollar for reserved seats for each entertainment,
there is no for lovers OF the opera not ndug
ing their tastes Mr. MaretZek will introduce to our
public new tenor, Signor Lefranc, who, II report
speaks truly is OF the finest voices that has
been heard here. Madame de Briol, another new
artistic, is said be a dramatic singer OF unusual
ability, and with Miss Kellogg, Signor Ronconi
Signor Reyna and others, there is every reason to
expect that the performances will be up to high
mark OF excellence In addition to the artists already
announced, Signor Lotti the tenor who has just
rived in New York from South America, has been
engaged by Mr.. Maretzek, for his season in
this city. Among the attractions OF the
season will be the production Rossinis great opera
OF william Tell, with handsome appointments, and
with Signor Lefranc in the role OF "Arnoldo." The
new opera Pipele, by Ferrari, With Miss Kellogg as
the heroine, will also be brought out. The sale of

French Cr!ni0n Of the Crisis.

The Paris Journals OF the 4th OF September-al-
most the whole Of the city press--remark on Prince
Napoeon's speech, some Of them joining with IL the
remarks Of N. de FORBADE Ia Roquette in reply. The
general opinion Is that the Prince displayed great
ability and liberal spirit which sounded somewhat
strangely in "Princo OF the blood.n Hence, the
imperalist journals express considerable dscontent
and declare that the speaker went too far We pub
llsh the main points OF the comments.
The Constitutional says:--All the interest OF the
sitting was concentrated In o magnificent speech
from Prince Napoleon aud an eloquent reply from
NJ. de FORBADE Ia Roquette The former, with great
force OF expression and elevation Of thought, drew
picture OF the existing situation, and declared that
he received the new reforms with so much the moro
favor that they are first ana large satisfaction
given to the idea OF his whole life. But he considers
them insufficient.
The ID bats expresses satisfaction at the speech
thus:--Howevcr little we may be inclined 10 play the
courtler's part. we cannot help highly applaudng
the Ideas, as prudent as liberal, expressed by The
Emperor's cousin. We found In them, with great
pleasure the larger part OF those which we have
constantly sustained and which have so often
brought down upon Is the bittcrcst attacks OF the
semiollclal press. We did not hope, few months
back, that those doctrines would 80 soon fnd iii the
nigh Assembly itself an Interpreter placed SO near
La France OF Paris, rcmarks:-The Prince began
by placing the ideas he was about to develop under
an invocation OF the most absolute devotedness 10
the empire, the Emperor and the young Prnce.
The cXorduIn, bearing an impress at once OF gran
deur and emotion Will remain as page OF history.
The dominant idea may be comprised IN TWO words;
TO make the empire subslst together with liberty; to
render their union not marriage OF cold reason,
but one Of feelings not o timid and cphemeral ex
pertinent, but an indissoluble alliance. From one
end to tho other the speech OF the Prince breahe5
