I‘iruijunc NliW VO UK, H. 1 mfi. Messrs. Editors of the Picayune —ln the midst of one r-t i!ie most diabolical specimens of sposh, slush, snow, sleet nnd slosh that ever tried men’s -oles and gave a fellow the blue devils, I last mold waded my way into the pit of the Park theatre, to witness the evolutions of the four dozen of juveniles yclept “Les Dun ne uses ViennoDes.” With “a heart bowed down with weight of” a wet cloak, umbrella,and India-rub ber overshoes baif filled with mud, I sunk into a seat between two equally damp and enjoyed all the advantages of the hydropathic system and a power ful bath while listening to the overture. Anon tinkles the prompter’s bell—the cur tain rLes as the orchestra dash off into a brilliant waltz, and loldark streets, damp strangers, overflowing gutters, sposh. sleet and slush are all forgotten in a:i in stant—clean swept out ol mind by the beauty of the coup-d’ced which opened upon me at that moment. It I live a thousand years, which is rather impro bable, I shall never forget it. The whole area of the Pail: stage presented the appearance of a large par terre of roses, on the leaves of which sparkled and glistened innumerable bril liant dew-drops. One might gaze on this scene until the sense ached at it; hut in a moment it breaks up, and to your utter amazement vou find that it was formed of wreaths and bouquets and clusters of roses, upheld by the hands of children, and what vou mistook for dew-drops were but sp it les from the bright eves of the forty-eight little beauties, who are now rushing in apparently wild confusion towards the centre of the stage, and in an instant have formed themselves into a pyramid of roses, with a hud of extremes! beauty trembling at the summit, prom among the thickest clusters vou seethe cl moled cheeks, the laughing eves and snow-white tee;!) of the little fairies, glowing, glancing, glittering. Your eve is dazzled—your heart is touched—the wpel 1 that held you silent is broken—vou murmur (gently at first) “I low hoe mi ful!” and then you cheer the little trots nnd shout “Crave!” A thousand voices nnd two thousand hands (some of them well worth kissing) join in tlie burst ofad miration and applause that rings around the dome. Ere this has d; 1 r, wa v the children fall again into a chaotic heap: they run, they fly, and presto! a bower of ;; roses extending from the ft on tto the b e k ofthe stage is reared aloft, mi'l the whole troup come dancing down the long ave nue in pairs; their liny feet move with the rapidity and precision of machinery, and even the little infant of four yearn comes dancing down w it!) the same spirit and precision as those of the mature age of eigh’l Away they rush again for dear life, nnd without a pause, even to ta.ke breath, they are spinning around in «i tn-izv waltz, with a joyous lightness of heart and heel that is ”• Llightfn] to behold- One mmnent lb *v form a star, another a cire.e, then a crescent find then they c ane dancing down, all linked together— “A line »[ linked sweetness long drawn out.” Yes, down th* y come whit the speed * lightning —see they are in-ming into the orchestra!Chubb, the leader, unused to military ma ccuvres, thinks lie shad la over whelmed l»V this sudden charge o 1 infantry. See, he is running a wav nvpi the double bass. Vain fca»! ere ie has regained bis feet, the whole formidable troupe have uimed. a nr! forty eight pair of prettv legs are n-anciug up the stage again, and are grouped as if by megi< into the most elaborate and picturesque tableaux changing continually and sud denly, like the figures in a large kaleid ©scope. Perhaps you will think me enthusiastic in praise of those children. Pshaw! it is not in my power to describe them-asihey deserve—their performances must be seen to he believed or compre hended. Undoubtedly they are the most pleasing and attractive troupe ever irn. ported and excel in skill, precision, unity of action and beauty ol tout ensemble any - thing f ever beheld either in Europe or America. Perhaps it is hardly fair, where all are *o excellent, to make a distinction, but there is one little girl among them, about eight years of age, whose beauty, spirit, grace and talent have already stamped her the pet of the party. Little Fanny is what the ladies call “a perfect duck of a darling,” The moment vou catch «ight of her, amidst the grout* of voung beauties, you feel satisfied of her supe riority: talent is written on her forehead; and from thence to her foot she is be an - tifuL She dances w ith a style so finished, so confident, yet never bold, so graceful, light and joyous, that the eye feels loth to lose her even fora moment. Cy the by, how many bright particular Mars i« the drama, the dance and song have born the name of Fanny! Let’s see: Fanny Kemble, Fannv Jarman, Fanny Kelly. Fanny Fifzwilliam. Fanny ELsler and Fanny Cerito—and last and least, our little Fanny from Vienna, destined, at no very distant day, to rank with the proud est of these—or \ am no prophet. There is, in trie dancing of these chil dren, something so purely innocent and pleasing —such a total absence nr gross »ess or indelicacy—they look so happy, and revel in the dance so heartily, evi dently, rnj n i;;g themselves as much as ■ the audience do, tint it makes one happv i to loo!; upon them. During the delighted fvo hours 1 ? assed in looking at them ! j onlv sighed once. a< I recollected that j stony-hearted did Time would strew care and sen row on the little beads and hearts u . i j»j«• i) now so joyous nnd •n pay we must grow old, isn't i ? > j You mu v make your minds up’ .sat you will not see the \ iennmscs in ratw Or. ~ j loans this winter: therr engagements here | in the Non!) will keep them busy till next n fall, when they w ill visit the sunny South. 1 !

I never understood till • : now the misery endured by mad Tom, * w hen exclaiming “Poor Tom’s acold.” t ■ Poor fellow, he needed but one more in - i diction to complete bis misery: a s'o'm of t i sleet, such as we have enjoyed daily for ■> i two months past keeping a man like an s eel, cold wet and slippery.

A dreadful lire broke out m Boston,at half past 10 o’clock on'Thursday night, 21st in-t., which was not subdued until 2 o’clock on Fridav morning. It commenced in (he Bow lino - Saloon attached to the Neptune House, i kept by Mr. Leonard Allen, in Haverhill , street, north side, and owing to a strong wes- I terly wind, blowing hard at the lime, one of ; the most extensive conflagrations ensued i which has been known therefor many years. The Mercantile Journal slates that nearly all of tiie buildings destroyed were of wood, mostly work-shops and stables, though some i tenements were burned, and about seventy families were rendered houseless. On most of the buildings and stock there was but lit- i tie insurance. Tiie conflagration embraces the whole area between Traverse, Charleston, Causoway, and Haverhill streets, covering several acres of ground. Though by this fire a large amount of property has been sacrificed, and considerable personal suffering has been in- ; curred—-ixtv or eighty families, chiefly poor Irish, having been burned out—yet most of the buildings consumed were of wood, and of little comparative value; and it ; is thought that much ol the land cleared, will bo worth more than it was before the | fire ; encumbered by the buildings. _ j Itivrasmcc Knit Head.
