Vlie New Opera Blouse in Paris.
Working drawings of this fiun
building; now erecting in Paris, havd
been presented to the institute* of
- British. Architects by the designer,M.
Charles Onrnier, and on Monday
last, the President, Mr. Donaldson,
brought them under the notice of the
Society by a short description. The
series of drawings, upwards of Tine
hupdred and seventy in number,
many of them* of large size, and all
of the most elaborate execution, applied
only as far as the first floor of
the building, at which stage it had
-now amuved. The structure will be
, the largest of the kind in the world,
and in the richness of decoration andperfection
of internal arrangements
for the audience, the artists employed,
and the purposes to which it. is'
devoted, will be superior to anything*
now existing in Europe. The following
dimensions of the building were
given as approximately correct, and
contrasted with these of the priuciv
pal opera houses and theatres of other
European capitals, shows the scale
of magnificence" 6n which this Jnald
ing has been designed : Area, 265
acres; width of scene, 52 feet; width
between boxes. 68' feet (the opera
house at Madrid exceeding this by 2
feet); width between walls behiii'd
? the boxes, 100 feet 6 inches; depth
of house,-100 feet ; depth of stage,
98 feet, capable of .'being increased
5Y;feet; entire width of stage, 17h
feet. The cost of this magnificent
building is estimated at ?lt,000,000
sterling, and it forms a great feature
in the grand plan for the improvement
of Paris now being carried out
under the Emperor Napoleon.

Gen. Forrest.?Parties from Atlanta state
that Gen. Forrest was wounded in . a pecent
fight in the foot. They also state that iic was
froth Mississippi. We hope that the able commander
has at last been permitted by ttye
Richmond authorities- to unite bis forces with
the army of Tennessee?although we regret to
hear that he is wounded. If he had been per
mitted to come in Sherman's roar long, afo?
as he desired, and as. Gen. Johnston urged?*
many of our existing evils would have been
prevented;?-Aiityuuta Chronicle, 30/A.
A lady pianist has lately appeared in Holland,
who employs the singular advantage, to
one in her profession, of having six fingers on
* each hand?the supplementary finger adjoining
tlfo little finger, and resembling the thumb oi
another hand. This peculiarity is hereditary,
one of her anegstors, whose portrait was paint
cd by Reubens, exhibiting the same digital .fprraaticm.
She plays the piano with great brilliancy,
making much use of the supplementary
finger. Her six fingered gloves are manufactured
expressly for the lady by a.Paris tjanticr,
and she seems rather proud than otherwise oi
her peculiar superfluity. AH the members ol
the family who thus have six fingers ara<.jequal]y

Recognition with a Contingency.?The London
j Times of July 16th accounts for the* withdrawal of Mr.
1 Lindsay's motion in Parliament for the recognition of
the Confederate States by the statement that it was
| agreed on in an interview with Pkemieu, held by
; Messrs. Lindsay and our late Commissioner Mr. Ma?
i son, in which Lord Palmeuston gave "a sort, of prq#>'
iso to support it at'a moro opportune moment?that is
: to say, .when CIkan.t and Shekman have be.cn defeated,
and the Confederacy stands in no need of rccognij
tion." It is quite a.mistake, says tho Richmond Whig,
J tp suppoto 11 Kit. the Confederate States have over stood
' in neud of recognition, and none the less a misiako
from tlio fact that most of our own people at one time
sh-red in it. Indeed, these Stales were recognized as
i free and independent Cevernments eighty years ago
i by the very Government over which Lord Palmarj
ston now presides, and have been ever since as much
niui-puiHiciii ana sovereign powers as that flovernment
i They are uut lighting,now to achieve independence,
j but to maintain it, and that in behalf thgv have given
' proof of power superior to any ever furnished by that
i haughty realm. '
j When, in tlio history ol that renowned kingdom.
; has it ever happened that within tlio trrni of three
; years and three months three millions of men (or
J that is the number to which Litieoln s last call swells
| his lovers) have boon summonod tow ho field, for ruth'
less war upon her?time millions of men on lanu, and
I a navy numbering now, as is claimed, nearly six hun1
drod vessels of war, and many of these protected by
ay invulnerable ar.Lor, and provi .ed with guns doubly
i as formidable as any ever heretofore used in war'.1
I When, we repeat, has Groat Britain ever given such
proof of bur right to bo considered one of I ho Powers
; ot Uic earth as the Confodernto States have all'orded
\ by revistiug this avalanche of aggression and assault. 1
| Lord Palmkhstok is behind the times, and so, we
fear, tiro Mifssrs. I.inusay, Maso\ and other well
meaning persons. A\'e havo long since passed out ol
the when we looked^ across tho waters with anxiety
for this measure of simple justice, and we may
well afford to smij| at the importance wliich theso old
fogies seem to attach to the doing of an act, which wo
'hold to he one of very trivial importance.
