Paget unveiled &statue in the Locke park, Barnsley, which had been erected to the memory of the late Joseph Locke, C.E., by the Institute of Civil Engineers and • number of noblemen and gentlemen. The statue, it was expected, would have been placed in St. Margaret's Gardens, Westminster, but government refused their request, and it was transferred to the Locke Park, Barnsley, which waslgiven to the inhabitants of that town by his widow for the benefit of the working classes there, amongst whom the late lamented engineer spent some portion of his life. The statue, which is the work of Baron Marochetti, is a faithful likeness of the deceased, and is placed at the entrance of the park. The day was observed in the town and district as a general holiday. A suspension from business in all branches of trade took place, and at the ceremony some thousands were present. In all parts of the town flags or banners were dis played, whilst the bells of the parish church rung out a merry peal. The profession was formed in the church field, and paring through the principal parts of the town wended its way into the park in the following order :—The 4th Administrative Battalion of West Riding Volunteers, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Stanhope, num bering seven companies with their bands. Constables of Barnsley, live abreast ; the clergy and ministers of all religious bodies, two abreast • the magistrates ; the captain of the Locke sc h olar. ; the Locke scholars, three abreast ; the members of the local Board of Health; Lord Alfred Paget ; Mr. John Fowler, President of the Institution of Civil Engineers ; the friends of the late Mr. Locke ; the inhabitants of Barnsley, three abreast; the Barnsley Tem perance Society and other clubs, dtc. 00 the procession arriving at the entrance to the perk, the rifle corps formed a guard, and the procession proceeded to the place fixed for the ceremony. Lord A. Paget, who was received with cheers, said that it was at the express wish of Mrs. Locke that he had undertaken the task. His lordsbip then re ferred to the life of the deceased, pointing out the great successes which he achieved in the engineering world ; and then committed the statue to the care of the inhabitants of Borns lo l, hoping the younger portion of it would emulate the noble example of the deceased. A luncheon was after wards served up at the King's Head hotel. CRYSTAL PALACE SCHOOL OF ART.—The winter course of free lectures, delivered every Thunrday, was resumed yesterday by the Bev. Marty.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVRNINO. The Debuts contains a crushing reply to the Moniteur du Soir on the great-little Monaco ques tion, proving conclusively that the " privileges, favours, and immunities" conferred in the matters of navigation upon the " state" of Monaco do legally under tae most favoured nation clause " instantly" admit Italy, Holland, the Hanseatic Towns, Sweden, Norway, and (to a certain extent) the Zollverein to the enjoyment of the like favours, privileges, and immunities. The Debuts com pletely pulverises the flimsy pretext that because co-exiatently with the grant of these favours, privileges, and immunities there is a " customs um ion" between France and Monaco, therefore the other nations are ousted from the benefit of the most favoured nation clause. Before 1860 there might have been room for cavil ; but all the com mercial treaties made by France since that date have been worded in the most absolute and uncon ditional manner. No matter how or why naviga tion privileges may be granted to any " state"— and Monaco is expressly described as a state in the treaty which gives rise to the present discussion — all the other states above mentioned are en titled at once to the same privileges. Argu ment is, however, of little use because DL Behic, the Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works, has addressed a circular to the Chambers of Commerce in the principal ports of the French empire, for the purpose of explaining the true bearing of the convention concluded with the principality of Monaco in November last, and which some persons had regarded as giving the vessels of those nations, having treaties of commerce and navigation with France, the right of carrying on a coasting trade from one port to another of the French empire without paying differential tonnage dues. The minister repeats what has been already said by the Nola tear du Soir, namely, that the convention is merely a customs union, extending the French frontier to all the limits of the principality so far as regards commercial and maritime operations, and completely assimilating the flag of Monaco to that of France. When a great power thus decides to put a false construction upon plain language, nothing but war can reverse its decision. War the powers concerned will not make for such a cause. The Presse says that at the ball at the Tuileries last night the intention attributed to the Emperor to announce in his speech the evacuation of Mexico for this year was favourably received by all the political company. The belief in this news greatly contributed to the firmness of the Bourse to-day. At the same time there are people stand ing in a good position to be well-informed who maintain that the news is not true, and that the Emperor caunot make up his mind to a step which, however explained, must make it patent to all the world that the Mexican expedition, the darling pet personal conception of his own brain, was a mistake, and is a failure. It is certain that orders yet unrevoked, and which are preparing to be acted upon in Toulon, prescribe the sending out of 2,000 or 3,000 more troops. This does not look like evacuation. The doors of the Theatre Francais are at this moment besieged by a crowd patiently waiting for hours in the hope of getting a place for AL Poniard's play, Le Lion Amcnireux, which is to be performed for the first time to-night.

The trustees, contemplating with anxiety the position of natives of India left entirely to themselves in this metropolis, deem it essential to the success of the scheme that there should he an arrangement by which these scholars should be placed under the care of some gentleman who would charge himself with the supers vision of them and with the due application of the foods.

Evidence es to the finding of the remains having been given, Mr. Bell, the coroner's officer. produced a double set of teeth mounted in gold, the upper row being perfect, mid room left in the lower jaw for eight teeth ; a double tortoiseshell eyeglass with gold junction ; a patent key marked "Chubb, Sr. Paul's-churthyud, No. ;" and • silver pencil-ease with letter weight, marked "John Sheldon, 118-1, April 8, 1812." Mr. John Chubb stated that 30 keys had been supplied with five locks, and be believed that they were for one of the government offices; and if so, they would be able to trace the key, as the numbered keys were recorded, and inquiry would settle who was the possessor of No. 29. William Watts, the pierman at Waterlooibridge, and Inspector Dell, of the Themes Police, gave evidence as to the dredging of the river in the immediate vicinity where the deceased was found, and the body, it is supposed, became "sand bound" some years ago.

THE FALL OF THE MYTHOL3I BRIDGE VIADUCT. — A curious and oertainlylrather startling state of facts, ahem dsntly proving the necessity for more careful inspection of new works upon railways, was disclosed during the progress of en investigation held a day or two ego, respecting the cause of the fall of the Mytbolm Bridge viaduct, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, near Holmfirth. This viaduct, which was intended to supersede a wooden structure, consisted of thirteen arches ; and on the morning of the 3rd of December, shortly before the first train was due, several of the arches fell, rendering the line useless. There were suspicions that negligence and the use of inferior materials bad caused the accident; and, io response to • memorial from the Holmfirth Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade instructed Captain Tyler to inquire into the matter. The evidence given before the inspector was, to say the least, remarkable. The viaduct, it was proved, had been erected under the superintendence of a man who had also the charge of platelayers engaged upon liftmen miles of railway ; very shortly after the work was begun inferior materials were introduced ; erects were soon observed in the stonework' and, added to this, the foundatioos of the arches rested partly on gravel and partl on rock. With all these els meats of dagger the fall of t he viaduct can excite no surprise, but it affords soother illustratim of the unsatisfactory sod anode principle epos which, we filer, too many public works me earned me.—Leeds Mercury. j; 1 I
