Letters from Jiuropa and the East! We Lave made an arrangement with Prof. llicuAED Owen, of tie State University, by winch he will furnish the readers of the Jocrkal with a series of letters, or papers, containing the most important of his observations in his recent tour through Europe and the East. The first of these let. tera will be found rn the present number. Prof. Owen's reputation as a scieatiSo and educated observer, is so well .established, that we have only to announce his letters, to insure for ihem an extensive reading. They will be found full of instruction to thosu who have no opportunity of see ing tho wonders of European civili zation excibt throuxh the eye3 of others Tho letters will appear regularly in our weekly edition, and will extend through some twenty-five or thirty numbers. We trust our mends in the country will receive them as addi tional evidence of our desire to fur cish a weekly paper that keeps pace with the times in every particular, and that they will exert themselves correspondingly to enlarge its circu lation and influence. Modern civilization has reached the starting point A correspondent of the New York Herald reports that a telegraph station has been establish ed cn tho river Euphrates, on tho eupposed 6ite of the garden of Eden, and that tho Arabs there no longer weep over the fall of Adam, though they stick to tho costume of the head of the family and his wife. But tho telegraph and the steamboat and the sewing machine will eoon change even the Arab of the Euphrates. G en. G eo. E. Pickett, who led one cf Longscreet'a divisions in the memorable charge at Gettysburg, is one of the men selected by the Khedive of Egypt to command his troops. Piokett is reported as saying that should he find the troops of his new command half a3 stubborn, half as brave as those ho led and those who gallantly repulsed him at Gettysburg, ho should rest content. American Silver in Canada. Another crusade acainst American silver has been initiated in Canada. For a long time it has been received by the Canadian Government only at a discount of from lour to six per cent., and then only in limited quantities; but in trade it has been at par until within a few days. The late tuarbling of gold in the Uuited States, and the consequent falling of silver, has sent up greenbacks in Canada, and in view of this the Canadians have undertaken to get rid of the great burden of American silver. The principal railroad?, the Montreal Telegraph Company, the hotels, the bar rooms, and tho leading retail traders are generally uniting in the movement, and the result is that an American half dollar goes for only forty-eight cents, a quarter for twenty four, a dime lor nine cents, ana hslf dime for four cents. In the pas threo weeks the shipments of Ameri can silver from Montreal alone have averaged, it is reported, $50,000 pe day. Correspondence of the Journal. LETTER FROM PIKE.

GLANCE AT SCENES. EAS1EBN" Prussian Porcelain Parisian Ware Frefcro Tiling White ad Colored Ktone China Uoman Antiquities at llevis. Indiana Statb University, BL'hmioto.n, Ind., April 19, 1870. J Editors Journal : Gentlemen: Few will deny that foreign travel, after due preparation, when pursued with an earnest desire to obtain information, is likely to prove highly interesting and useful to the traveler: and many will even concede that, if copious notes are taken on the spot, the traveler may furnish material for communications which will afford to the reader most of the items that can be obtained regarding the countries examined, except such it . as actual personal observation can alone furnish. Having npt only taken extensive DOte3,- while I inada recently 19,000 miles of travel by land or water, but every day or two amplified these notes by writing out more fully the account of all I had seen, I propose, with your consent, to furnish to your readers a portion of the facts thus obtained and observations thus recorded, hoping the record, however imperfectly presented, may supply food for reflection to those who can not, or will not trav el, as well as aid in preparing others more lully to enjoy the same scenes One of the first articles I offer is a description of a large porcelain man n. " A ulactory in irussia. as we nave m Arkansas and ia New Mexico do posits of fine porcelain clay, fur nishea oy decomposing ieispar, and as at present most of our fine earth enware is imported, information on these topics may possibly have eco nomical or commercial value. Forty-two years had elapsed since I had visited Europe, and I gladly availed myself of the opportunity to renew agreeable reminiscences by re maininz several days with my class mate and much valued friend, M Eugene JBoch, of the firm of Villeroy & iioch. manufacturers ot tine earth enware, and of so called " Parian ware," in every form, to delight th eye of the artist or charm tho love of fine arts. METTLACH" (PRUSSIA) PORCELAIN MAN UFACTORY. Tho firm of Villeroy & Booh owns four manufacturing establishments in Germany, viz.: at Mettlach, Vaux de Vosges, Luxembourg aod Dresden; two in Belgium, viz.: Cerarnis and Tournay, and half of ono in France, much the largest of all, called Saargomines; besides a branch establishment in connection with M. William Fellenberg (son of the great Swis3 educator, Emanuel Von Fellenberg), at Mertzig, six miles irom Mettlach, in lthenish Prussia, where chiefly tiles from the commonest to the finest, are made, not only lor roo's aod floors, but for arches and bridges, bosides the smoothest and hardest machine-made bricks for expensive houses. The establishment at Mettlach, which, through the hospitality and kindness of ray friend, we had an opportunity of examining very fully, during several days, employs eicht hundred and fifty hands regularly. Oaehuadred and sixty additional mechanics and laborers are now extending the buildings and warehouses in order to communicate directly with the Mettlach II. it. station or depot, by which the cood3 are shipped in all directions, but especially to Ger many, Switzerland and Italy, lhe whole moves like clockwork under tho cnergetio supervision of the managing proprietor, Mr. Boch, and his highly educated sods, aided hero by twolve superintendents, while in their larger establishment in France as high as forty such have to be employed. For greater accuracy than could bo otherwise attained, beautifully lithographed engravings are sent by mail to correspondents and each regular purchaser has a separate ledger and order book. Farther to provent mistakes, the various parts, nec essary to constitute the whole of a Mosaio or fresco work are, readily distinguished, even after each piece has been wrapped in paper, by the different colors of the wrappers. Omitting many interesting details, we will now follow the manufacture from its commencement. PARIAN WARE. For the beautiful articles of this material, Swedish lelspar is import ed and mixed fatter being thorough ly ground by machinery between quartz blocks, fixed on revolving arms, and a pavement ot twenty inchdeep granite blocks) with kaolin clay from France. Instead of being moulded in a piastio condition, the materials are mixed with sufficient water to run like thick cream into gypsum moulds, but for somo compli cated statuettes, separate castings of parts are afterwards united by compe tent artists, lrius a group modeled to personate one ot Washington lr ving's legends, and entitled "Court ship in Sleepy Hollow, consists orig inally of 1G0 separate pieces, after wards all carefully united to form the entire group in which those joinings cannot be distinguished. Some of these statuettes were much admired at the last Paris Exhibition. and I was pleased to find that most of this ware was sent to this country, beiDg ordered by a firm in New York. Une with the motto underneath. vounueu to ine rear, ono more shot, ia well executed, as also the I 1 1 . , T , neaa ot our lamented idncolo, in miniature size. MOSAIC AND IMITATION-Fit ESCO TILES. In great portions of the continent of Europe, large rooms are frequently laid witn nneiy painted and h ?h v glazed porcelain tiles in various geometrical ngures. id aaanion to these we found this enterprising firm at Mettlach executing an order for Munich, designed to imitate in tiles with out any disagreeable glaze, some of the richest fresco paintings. Large colored drawings had been sent as mod els, which Mr. Boch's excellent artists had fully imitated in the various pieces for inlaying on the wall. These, when completed, fitted so admirably that, ata very shortdistance.no joints were perceptible, and festoons, heads, ivc , seemed to come out in bold re lief. Mr. Boch thinks there is a great future in this department. Some coarse tiles are made. also. without a glaze, and with a bevel, so that when laid in a court vard or sta ble they are not slippery, and to my astonishment emitted sparks of fire when the horses' shoes struck them. exhibiting no signs of wear, although they had been m Mr. Boch s stable yard for years. Such tiles are made by compressing the dry materials with powerful hydraulic machines. TILE3 USED 03. ARCIIE3 AND BRIDGES. Although aware that the Germans, English and French used tilca ex tensively lor rooting nouses, 1 had Iways supposed time demanded an

WKSIEBX

immenseiy heavy frame work to sustain them. Here I saw them moulded, with three or four hollows, thus

having nearly the same shape as chemical muffles, and of three different grades of thickness, having also regular tongues and grooves, so that they lit together, without framework, over a temporary wooden arch to form vaulted roofs and bridges, with the greatest success; of course, being perfectly hreproot. lhe only sup port used is, in some roofs, a series of light iron rods across the buildings. One bridge over which we walked, was built by Mr. Boch's father in 1811, across a small stream in his park, and is fifty-tour feet long, six fret. wide, with an arch of about four feet rise; and being united by iron rods, ecarcely shakes with any ordi nary weight. J-jvery few years it receives a coat of tar and sand. WHITE AND COLORED STONE CHINA. The Europeans use more colored ware than we do, and some ot the vases, &c, are beautifully painted; but much white ware is also made: not strictly a transparent porcelain. but ot a hne quality such as sells in the united States under the name of stone china or granite ware. The materials for the "body" of this ware, as made at Mettlach, are chiefly clay from near Worms, with kaolin from Navarre in France, and grey pipe clay from Meissen in Saxony, mixed with ground burnt-flint and felspar. The glaze is a silicate of alumina, or almost a glass, being composed ot fane clay ground by a series of revolving quartz rocks, then freed from all grit by pas sing through line wiro4 gauze and cloth, (the filtration aided, as in Bunson's new invention for filtering in laboratories, by a vacuum.) then mixed with felspar, lime, sand, borax soda and a little lead. This is applied by dipping the biscuit, (after a first ba king in the kiln,) for a second or two in the glaze, then allowing it to dry, and afterwards exposing it to a high heat in the kilns, lhese are usually about sixteen feet across inside with various flues near the outer diameter of the dome, reaching half way up its sides, the heat afterwards descending by central flues, having permeated the ware in its sagger oover. For the finest articles, muffles are used, and fine rods of ware are laid so as to pre vent any two pieces lrom touching The latest improvements have been adopted in every reBpect. and there are patents for heating, drying, &o., connected with the Eteam engines the detailed description of which might be tedious. The benevolent proprietor is also making arrangements to have the work people all well fed at a general table at low rates, instead of having their noon meal sent, as at present, by children from Mettlach and adjoining villages. lie has already yery thorough arrangements for healthful ventilation, streams of air being sent from below for the removal of dust from around each machine whenever it arises, while the workman is smoothing the edges and performing similar dry finishing work. They manufacture their own fire brick and saggers, put up and repair all maohincry, having mechanics of every kind on the premises. They obtain their power from hve steam engines and two large water wheels, execute all their necessary engraving on copper-plate and steel, as well as their own lithographing (having al ready one large room lull of lithographio stones,) got up new designs. either painted or modeled, or oarry out designs in their ware from draw ings sent to them, lhe transter ot the lithographs to the biscuit, (the adhesive ink remaining while the pa per is washed off) and tho penciling of other parts by hand, is chieny per formed by women, the right arm of each, as she holds the camel's hair brush, resting on a board, while the left hand sustains slightly the cup, plate, or other article, as it revolves on a wooden disc. Although most of the earthenware is sold in uermany and Italy, we heard of one article ordered extensive ly from England the egg cup. One firm alono never sends an order for less quantity than 40,000, and usually gives tour or hve orders each year. MERTZIQ TILE WORKS. Besides manufacturing tiles for draining, and for fire-proof roofs and bridges, this establishment makes tiles to receive largo pane3 of glass, so that roots thus constructed can be fully lighted by the use of these at suitable intervals; one pave-tilo being equal to two common roof-tiles. ' Mr. W m. 1' . h ellenberg, already men tioned as part owner and sole mana ger here, having made many improve mentsm agriculture, drainage, eto was first induced to commence the manufacture in consequence of the largo amount of drain tiles needed When he first began, he tried the clay of the hills, and this not suiting. he used clay from the valley, but found it equally unfit. However, by repeated experiments, mixing the two in certain ascertained propor tions, he has been nnaliy quite sue cesstui. come ornamental tiles are used extensively for garden borders, while spouts, chimney tops, etc., are also made of tasteful patterns; and so great has been tho demand for the articles he manufactures, that as yet he has been unable to nil all the or dcrs sent; but in August, I860, when I visited tho works, he was putting up extensive additions with a view of meeting the increased demand. Mr. Fellenberg's dwelling house. near the establishment, was built of finely worked and pressed brick, made at his establishment, and is a gem of cottago architecture, the plan of Mr. llimpler, who has since moved to New lork. I neglected to mention that Mr Boch's extensive works are located in an old Monastery, and are lighted by gas which he manufactures from tar, using it also lor some ot his hner heat ing processes, lie employs Amen can petroleum in his more distant works. These he .visits regularly. driving usually a magnificent pair of black stallions. Occasionally, how ever, when tne roaas are heavy, in stead of two, he guides with skillful hand fcur such coal black thorough breds, having a psssion lor fane horses and raising excellent stock, notwith standing his close attention to all the details of business. TREVES OR TRIER. Under Mr. Boch's kind guidance. wo had an opportunity of seeing this remarkable old town, favorably and most agreeably, meeting here also an other llolwyl classmate, whose name as a Banker stands on the American letter of credit given to our party. and who occupies a fine villa near the old lioman Amphitheatre. At Mettlach we had thought our selves among antiquities where we saw the remains ot buildings erected by Lutwinus, the founder of the convent, A. D., bl)(. alter whom, down to the year 17111-, when it was nartiallv destroyed (as related in a work by C. Van Briessen, Prefect of Mertzig) there were 71 Abbots the ast being Lutwinus Tisqain. But when wo came to Irevcs, or Iner as , the Germans call it, and saw an amphitheatre of the first century,

with an arena 234 feet long, we appreciated the truth of the assertion which claims this as the oldest city of Germany. Part of the so-called Komaa baths, and the remains of a palace in which large hot and cold baths formed a prominent part, are said to have been also constructed in the first century, while other portions date back to the fifth. The aperture3 leading the water to the baths are still auite distinct.

The main water conduit, connected also with the amphitheatre,dischargod the refuse waters Irom tho baths into the Moselle. As the swimmiog bath is quite large, the amount of water musvhave been considerable; the long underground passages indicate the course. Many broken columns can yet be examined, some shaft3 are of syenite, others fluted and of marble, while some capitals are cf sand stone. Many other Itoman antiqui ties and inscriptions are preserved in the tower, among others an old mill, a primitive plow and the like. CATHEDRAL, BASILICA, PALACE OF THE ELECTORS, AND PORTA NIGRA. The Cathedral, built in Romanesque style, is claimed to . have been erected for Pagm worship ; but A. D. 314 it wan remodeled by Helena, and on her return from Palestine in 328, consecrated as a Christian Church. Parts were repaired in the 11th and 12th centuries. The font was presented by Constantine the Great. The corridors leading to the cloisters are sustained on 115 col umns. The town of Treves (with ad joining diocese) has now its 259th Bishop, the present incumbent being the only one ever born in the place Tho largo organ has 123 stops, but we had no opportunity to hear its fine tones. These details were given by the old Sacristan of the Cathedral, who seemed well ver3ed in its early history. Oar next visit was to tho Basilica, now used as a Protestant Church, the walls of which are 100 feet high and 220 feet long. One of them i$ the original wall i the others are made exactly to imitate it, having the same kind ot strengthening buttresses run ning from foundation to root. This latter has a space of sixty-five feet in the interior, thus leaving a large un obstructed area, except near the altar, where there are four beautiful alabaster columns, presented by the I'asha ot Jbrypt. Constantino tba Great and his mother Helena are rep resented above the high altar. The ancient Palace of the Electors, now occupied as barracks, presents some elaborate architecture, and is also well worthy of a visit; but the most complete relic of antiquity is the Porta Nigra, which for centuries cad been partially covered with detri tal accumulations, but this is now so removed that the street passes through the centre aroh. Although built of sandstone, without mortar, being clamped by bars of iron, it is substantial enough tor travelers to ascend, as we did, to the top. Part of the upper 6tories, over the gate, are said to be more modern, having been lormed into monkish cells or apartments. On the way from Mettlach to Treves, we passed the town of Conz, and saw the Palace which purports to have been the residenee ot Constan tine; and, nearby, is a bridge, the foundations of which are still the or iginal of that period. Fearing to weary your readers with too many details at once, I will close this communication, designing to give in the next some account ol the scenery and products on the banks of the llhine and Moselle ilivers. then furnish a brief description of Wies baden and its gambling saloons, also somo details regarding the fane labor atory in the same city, of the cele brated chpinist, JJr. I resenius, etc. Yours, truly, Kichard Owen The Fate of a Gang of Roughs.
