-uE ROYAL l4LAOE.
We put of to our Inst day in Munich visit to
tie Royal Pnlace, which wo found to bo very
capacious establishment, fs,ll Of rotton, faded,
royal gilt and crimson aplendor. Tho walls arc
froacocd with war SCENES and poaco gconea in tho
history Of Bavaria. To passed. through from
forty to nifty spacious halls and rooms, consist
ing Of bathrooms, concort-rooms, and ohurchoD,
xho ceilings Of which fully thirty feet high,
panolod. and ornamonted with gilt aud frcsooca.
War scenes figured ovorywhore, most Of thom
aeeming like nlasB Of horaos, mon, banners,
cannon, and warlke accoutromcnts, thrown to-
Sether in lnextrcablo confusion, zach warrior

ever, which contained collection Of paintings

nbout sixty Of as beautiful specimens Of hunan-

THE BAVARIA.
This wonderful btatue, winch re lad only secu
from Il distance, is still moro wonderful on
closo inspection. Wo drove out In tho cool Of
tho morning yesterday before tho SIM had .con-
thoroughly explored it. a winding iron stair
caso paBscH up through tho white marble pedes-
ani, md continues On through the body OF the
statue, the whole number OF Htepn being about
$50, one.l1nif Of which arc through tho pedeHtal
aud tho balance through tho internal portion of
tho statue. Tho atairB oro marrow, only large
enough for ono person to 60 Abreast but until tic

and when we reached the heal they Woro seated
