THE MARCHIONESS OF EA VALETTE. [From the Ne.Y York Herold.] Few of the rising generation would suspect thai the lady who bas borne for some twenty seven years the sounding title ot a marchion? ess, and who bas figured orilliantly aa an ambassador at various courts of Europe, an d who bas died at last at the head of the palatial residence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs ol' France, was once a .simple village maiden of the unpretending tate of Ruo Ju Island of the name of Fo wie. Soch, however, was the fae:; but it was ber fortunate destiny to rise, like the first Catharine of Russia, far above the career abo was apparently born to fill. At an e^cly age she went over tc London to "reside with an elder sister, who was married to an opulent American banker. Timothy WiggiiiB, whose bouBS was afterwards involved in the flnmnitti disasters of 1837. While still in her teens the beauty, intelligence and accomplish? ments of Miss Fowlo attracted the admiration of Mr. Samuel Welles, then the sole American banker in Paris, who sabiequontly married her. For some ten yeats Bhe presided with infinite grace, tact and d gmty over tbe ele? gant mansion of Mr. Welled in the Place St. George, and ber dinners and balls were the envied resort not OP ly of the fashion ?ble Amerioans residing in Paris at that epoch, but equally BO of all that were most distinguished in the society, literature and art of the Freuob capital. In the calamittous year of 1837 the banking house of her hu band was seriously compromised'and his fui.ure was daily expect? ed. Mr. Welles m :de desperate efforts to re? sist the pressure, bat m vam, and bis fortune and position were irdinbl ng ou the brink of utter ruin. At this crisis his wife, with an energy characteristic ol her motherland, drove to the Bank of France obtatuoJ au interview irith Count d'Argout, th J Governor, submitted to him the ample, though dapressed securities i of her husband's porigem/.?, aud by ber forci? ble and moving statfnvuits T?LC ed a loan of several millions of irancs, wbicb tided the . house of Welles & G ?. ovar the yawning gulf of bankruptcy. In 1811 dr. Welles died at a i advanced age, leaving ms i.irge fortune to his .widow and their only bon, then quite a youth. At the close of the tallowing year Mme. Welles, then in the meridian ot lite, a handsoma and distingue worn m of the world, married tbe Marquis de la Valette, u r adv a rising member of t.e diplomatic corps. lu waking this mutch Mme. Welles di iplas od her habitual discern- < ment, for while other* bo nu ld in tue Marquis only a brilliant mau ot furn iou, she recognized those commanding traits which have raised him successively to the nighest posts iu tbe State aud se rared for bim tbe unbounded con? fidence of bis imperial master, wuo, finally, has bestowed on b.m tuc crowning guerdon of his satisfaction by ex > Ling bim to tbe i're miership ot France. From this lotty position which her rare esprit a d varied experience eminently fitted her to ud ?rn bun which her deolining health dinbieJ ber to enjoy, the Marchioness da la Va.cito descends, full ot' honors, to the grave. Iii theTieight of her prosperity and surrounded by tho glitter and Eouap of power she was a.w ivs gracious and 08D1 table to her eouut: v.nui, and never in? different to the welfare ot bor native lan 1. Her eon and heir, the Couut Wel ei do la .Valette, married two years bir.co a daughter of M. Bonnor, tbe Achilles of the French Cabinet and the most cit.td ont >r of tho empire. -London promises to have tho mo3t wonder? ful season o? o jera ever known, in nome re? specte.

The Wor k ? u guien 'g int ercs?-T ho Rage for Real Estate Investments-Stewart's Great Charity-How thc Spring Trade ls Opening-The Thent ric ul World, dCO. A New York letter of the 25th instant says : The workingmen, are getting ready for a more general and vigorous movement against capital tuan they hsre yet attempted. They declare that employers must recognize the eight hours law, and all other laws and acts passed in the ioterests of labor, and they pro? pose, as the chairman of a large workingmen^ meeting held las', niche said, "to tell the leg? islators tbat they cannot with impunity ign are their just rights any longer.*' Among the mat? ters claiming immediate attention, this chair? man also said, are amendments to the eight hours law, convict labor, apprenticeship, and a hen law that will provide for tho protection of the mechanic. These matters are to be seen to without delay. THE REAL ESTATE MAMA suffers no abatement. Not only iu New York, but all around New York, and especially on Long Island and in Westchester County, build? ing lots are goiug ofl by the hundred at prices that would have appeared fabulous ten years ago. In the neighborhood of the Central Park, for instance, and along the new Boulevard on the west side of the city, lots which could ha *e been bought in 1860 for $500 to $2000 now readily bring $20.000 to $26 000. In West? chester County and or. Long Inland, scores rf small tracts lately used lor gardening have been laid out in building lots this season, and sold at prices which the owners never dreamed o? realism?. Hut this sort of speculation has been car .*icd rather too far, and parties looking lor I ifs are becoming cautions about touching land outside of tho city. Just now we hear the stereotyped cry that rents and prices of real estate can't go any higher; tnat both wilt soon tumble with a crash, and that it is dan? gerous to put money in houses or lots. This may be hali true, but not more, The demand for house roam m New York must increase every year, and as the supply on Manhattan Island cannot be increased, I think there ie not much danger of prices going donn. But there is an immense amount of ground on this island still to be built upon -enough, I should say, to last fifty years at least; and by the tune it is covered, Long Island and Winchester County will be parts of the city, connected with it by bridges, and more easy of access, perhaps, than Madison avenue is now from the City Hall. Suspension bridges and under? ground railways will do the work. STEWART 8 ORE AT PROJECT. There is no longer any doubt about Mr. Stewart's intent on to build a home for work? ing-women, that will long keep his memory green with that deserving class at least. The building will stand on Fourth Avenue, between Thirty-fist and Thirty-second streets, and will cost, with tho ground, about $2 000.000. This will probaby cover the expense of fitting it up also. The home will not be a eleemosynary institution, as Borne may imagine, but simply a place in which respectable women and girls can have the cqmtorts of a homo at a moderate cost. Of its s'ucrresd we aire dy hear many doubts expressed. The working-women's home opened over a year ago in Elizabet h-streot has no answered the expectations of its friends. The neighborhood is very muoh against it few respectable girls would be seen in that quarter ii they could afford to livo in a better one; and occasionally a girl of not very good character gets iu and causes trouble. This, it is feared, will bo a danger against which the man? agers ot Mr. Stewarts home will have to bo constantly on their guard. It bas given the managers of the home in Elizabeth-street a great deal of tr >uble; iu fact, at ono timo it threatened to break up t?o establishment, and if it once getti into the larger and botter est?b? il-3 imcnt that Mr. Stowurt is ibout to erect, it uri.ll militate nnrinnals tttrninnt ? BMIBIMM . Many persons think it would be much batter for Mr Stewart to put up a few blocks of good tenement bouses f >r poor families, on a plan similir to that carried out iu London by Mr. Peabodv. Most of the tenements lately budt in New York are constructed on a much better plan, for health and comfort, than the old ones, bot the rent places them beyond the reach of poor men. From twenty to forty dollars a month is more than these can afford to pay. THE SPRING TB ADE. The great expect a ions inspired by the prom i8es and predictions of what Graut would do aa soon as he should get into the White House, bave not yet oeen realized by our business , men. .Trade is not what it was expected to be. Buyers lr om the South and West are here in < plenty, and the importers and jobbers are bnsy 1 enough showing goods ana making small ? sales ; but the activity they looked for ? mouth ago is Btill to come. The very large houses e are doing a fair : mount of business, but the ? second and third class are not doing any better r than they did this time last year, when all were complaining. There is time enough yet for the c wholesale trade to pick up and become quite 1 hvely.and possibly it will improve very muon be? fore May; but this is more of a h -pe than au ex? pectation. Except in the large houses on Broadway, the retail trude is very backward. c This should not be, for the weather tor th iee s weeks past has been just the kind'to make this c trade brisk. But thu small storekeepers com? plain tbat the largo ones oacroach upon them 0 more and more every year, and have left them p BOarcely a chance to make biead aud butter tor 0 their families. I have heard of several dry T goods men in the Bowery and the avenues having sunk from $5000 to 510,000 in their bust- '< ness las- year, while all the Br o au way houses had a good balance on the right side of the tage. However it may be elsewhere, it is cer? tainly true thar in New York the large houses * aie steadily absorbing the small ones, and the 1 process is pretty sure to go ou. q THEATRICAL MATTERS. ? Mr. Fisk's manager is very busy with nropa- Q rations for "The Tempest," which is to bo brought out on Easter Monday night at the " Grand Opera House. It is to be produced in b magnificent stylo, and I nope tho puolic w?l p appreciate Mr. Fisk's enterprise aud remuner- , ate him for it. But the puolio dees not always do its duty to Shakespeare aud the managers C who resurrect him occasionally. Mr. Wallac e d pioduced ''Much Ado About Nothing" in a stylo thatnevor was excelled in New York, and while this unappreciative public pub about $25,000 in his* treasury dorn g one month, it I JE went down to Niblo's, whero the "Forty ^ Thieves" wore exhibiting their legs, ?ind gave the manager about $51.000 for tho privilege of looking at them. Maretzok's season of Italian Opera at the Academy clcses this weok. It bas been a great deal more successful than an? ticipated. The Acadomy has been filled every night sinoa the season opened; the ' audiences have been select and enthusi? astic, aud the manager has put a nice little sum in his pocket after peeing expenses. Max intends to organiza a strong;."* company tor the next season. Grau bas sotl.ed upon Eas cr Jonday night for the produc? iou of La V<* Parisienne, and will make the occasion his owu " testimonial" night. The announcement that "La Vie Parisienne" is thc nastiest oi all the hasty French operas yet broutrht to New York has awakened a marvellous mc .rust inn, and no doubt it will -be well patronized. 'Hie Jar din Mabilie itself, whora ibo Can-Can origin? ated is to bo represented on tho staue and tho dialogue is of that spicy double entendre kind so popular, n the retine.t cueles o?

When the last lineal mir of a title dies, there is always a long learch for the collateral relatives, and fra? me utly tho latter are found in a position far 'amoved, both in wealth and station, from that woupied by the head of tho house. Debrett, io wo vcr, managed to keep these collaterals rel! advised of the probabilities of the future nd in this way his book is swelled out into indue proportions. The last edition, among aany other roman ti o episodes, contains an ac ount of the tenth Lord Fairfax, in the peerage f Scotland, who now holds the office of Re? porter of the Supreme Court of California, one f high position and responsibility in the Jnited States, as the Peerage declares. A >Dg story is also given of a street fight in 1339, a San Francisco, between Lord Fairfax andan rdinary reporter. Charles Snowden Fairfax, enth Baron Fairfax, is collaterally related to 'bomas, the sixth Baron, who, having rel in? uisbod his English estates to his brother bbert, carno over to America and settled at rroouway Court, a plantatic. of moro than alt a million acres of land in Virginia, which a inhoritpd from his mother, Catharine Colo epper.

The present Lord 'airfax, great grandsou of Bryan, was born at 'aue'.u-e, Fairfax County, Va., in 1829, and uccceded to tho title in 1816. -Here is a thoroughly characteristic story f Parisian life (rom the carnival just ended, bowing how near together lie tho springs of lughter anti of tears in the mobi'e, generous, obie, but dramatic naturo of the Gaul. Late a the night of Shrove Tuesday (or early in tho lorning of Ash Wednesday) a band ol mas uers.studenta and grisettes.were going to their .ornes in the Latin Q iarter. They had spent ho night at the masked ball of the Chatelot, nd thoy were improving Unatele danoes aloug he streets as they went. Suddenly, in tho 'ar . etour ?uci. tli3y ci mo upon a poor, half -.arved croatnro ' wandoring helplessly about rit? a sick child in her ann*. O.ie of their uimber, a you lg girl (porhap? not a wholly ommurid iblo youug girl,) hilted the com lauy, aud, snatching the poiutod white hat ot ridiculous Pierrot from his ridiculous tead, alio handed it from one to another >r hor gay cotnpantous.

There ire a gro.it many exoellont people in Massa ihusotta ; but wo doubt whether sueh an inc* lent as this would bo likely to happen to a sompauy o' young Bostoneso returning from a Thanksgiving dance. TJIE JEALOUSY OF LOVERS. [From Temple Bar.] The phrase "a jealous woman" is much more frequently used than "a jealous man;" and yet one more often meets with a jealous man than with a jealous woman. Perhaps women have a greater faculty for the concealment of their torture ; but at all events, where two lovers are concerned, it is the man who is almost cer? tain to be the more jealous of the two. This proneness to jealousy on the part of the male sex is the bit which the coquette places in the moutb of ber victim for the tame being. The girls who regard flirtation as tho principal aim of their stupid little lives-the vam? pires of sweet eighteen who prey npon the souls and bodies of men -are delighted when they Call upon a subject who is likely to be frantically jealous. Tbey regard him as a professional mesmerist ?egards a youth of nerveless intellect and flabby sensitiveness. If the young woman be a mistress in her art and tbo tune spent in acquiring proficiency in the business ougbt to produce a good many experts -she will nave her victim secured in a? unconscionably short period; tor, even as love ordinarily begets jealousy, a tendency towards i'ealonsy is a wonderful incentive toward love, jady professors know tbat nothing is so suc? cessful in provoking a proposal as the adoption of a rival. When Edward was dilatory, Prank gels some special sign of favor shown him; and lo! Edward, suddenly awakened toa sense of his danger, rushes in with ah eager preference of his suit. And once the victim is secured, how beautiful is the play which the oharmiug angler allows hun-now letting him have a little run up against the stream, again turning bis head delicately to her, then indulging him in another play fal little excursion, bat taking care never to slacken tbe line I The tragic element in the case occurs when the victim comes near enough to see that the creature at the other end of the line is only playing with him. Then he goes off with prodigious bluster, making straight for tho haunts of his old companions. Bnt not the less does the influence of tbat tightly drawn cord reach him there, gently compelling him from his sulky refuge, tenderly guiding him once more across the stream and into ti e bank, and he is finally deposited at the angler's feet. What does she do with him tben ? Why she pays no heed to him whatever. Perhaps she takes him up and flings him into the river, bidding him go seek his old asso nates, while sbe floats her luring fly along the rippling surface in search of other fish. And sena ninnes the old fascination is so strone upon him that he will again swallow the hook, and be content to be tortured as be? fore. The wording of the French proverb-that in every pair of lovers (nore is "tun qui aim", el l'autre quise laisse atmerJ'-?3 significant. '-L'un qui aime" is never printed "l'une qui aime." It is taken for granted that it is tbe man who loves, and the wem tn who allows herself to be loved. And whin this conjunction occurs, the woman has a tremendraa advantage on her Bide. What the advantage sometimes is may be gathered from such a case as that which wo have partly described. What does Lucasta care if Edwin tears his bair, and weeps and storms? That, to her, is part of the play. Or Edwin sulks; but what effect has his sulks upon her ? She can amase herself with fresh companions until he has grown complaisant again. If he acenses her of inconstancy, ahe bids him go aud find a sweetheart moro to his mind; if be grows prond, and will not speak, sbe laughs with some one else; if he becomes tender and implores ber to be merciful to bim, sbo tells him not to make a fool of himself. She knows ho will continue to be her slave, whatever sbo docs; and as a slight show of preference for any one else provokes m him transports of jealousy, which are quito an amusement to her, she Bees no reason wny ehe Bhould not BO enjoy herself. He calls her heartless; she replies that be need not exposo himself to her heartlessness unless h? chooses. Perhaps her friends remonstrate with her; she answers tbat no woman could bear bis absurd jealousy-outof which hipless imbroglio there SJj two outlets.

He left the Hub and start? ed for New York, where he arrived in due timo. With the spirit of adventure and shrewdness of a Yankee he provided himself with a rubber outfit, a eraund map showing all tho sowers m the city, a compass, candles, and a six-shooter to protect himself against rats or anything else tbat might impede m's progress. After donning his water-proof apparel ne entered a sewer in Houston-street on Tuesday last, near the North River. He "picked" his wav through all dav, and never stopped until Wednesday morning, when, having his bag filled, he re? turned to the light of day. Among the arti? cles obtained were old watches anti silver spoons, knives, jewelry and bottles of liquor, a considerable quantity of old pennies, some of ancient date, ten cent pieces, silver pencil cases, and a diamond ring worth thirty-five hundred dollars. -Great Britain is now engaged in paying the bills contracted for carrying o.i thc war against 'iheodore, Hing of Abyssinia, to obtain tho release of sixty captives, iomo natives and others tnturil ?zo J English.

Its depressing influences are especially unfavorable to invalids?, and thousands of persons with feeble constitutions, who have borne the win? ter bravely, break down ia the first month of spring. The variations of temperature aad cold east winds are a serious trial to the dyspeptic and bilious, whoso symptoms they invariably aggravate. Inter* mlttent fever is also rife wherever lhere ls evolvable poison in the water or thc soil. To enable the Sys? tem to combat thejo evils, thoro is nothing like a good vegetable tonic, and among this olass of medi? cines UOSlElTbR'S Si OMACH BITTERS stand supreme.
