Is BOMA IL hes no sense of shame, no spark of human feeling in that craven and cruel heart which the discipline of priests and priestly panders has furnished with all the arta of the Father of Lies, it seems at least he has one faithful servant of his house not entirely bereft of self-respect, nor absolutely incapable of vicarious remorse. There is positively one man in the service of FILLNCIII of Naples who albeit, we are assured, too honest or too humane to be employed on the ordi nary service of his Court in times of security, is specially reserved to be • sort of sacramental agent of royal perjury in extreetia He is sent for by this religious King as a priest is sent for by • trembling malefactor on his bed of death, to administer a sort of extreme diplomatic unction—to whom do our readers suppose 1 To the Great European Powers. This is the way of the right divine. keen do no wrong, still less avow a fault ; but when in the headlong fury of itscrimes it iaovertaken by the avenging justice of Heaven, it picks out some obscure and comparatively untainted agent, and despatches him, like the scapegoat into the desert, to propitiate the Powers. Not to his own subjects does this King of NAPLIDS appeal, or plead, or promise, but to foreign Courts. It is the Commendatore Massimo, an unpronounced liberal of respectably lukewarm temperature, whom in his dying momenta the blessed FIRDINAND recom mended to his hopeful heir as the man for these supreme emergencies ; the man to make promises and to sue for conditions which his Sovereign, with a Papal dispensation in his pocket, may at a more convenient season break ; the man to oak civilised Monarchs and constitutional Ministers to guarantee a kingdom to the torturer, murderer, and bombarder of thousandsof women and children. But nations do not unlearn their own history quits so soon as that injured innocent, Fuse's IL, late of Sicily, appears to suppose. How can they, when that history is written in characters of blood and fire, on the reeking floors of torture chambers and the smoking walls of cities I If ten honest men could be found, out of prison, in Naples to put faith in the word of the pious exe cutor of the testament of FIJWINAND IL, we should say that the kingdom was worthy of its King. But, excepting the creatures of the court, the priests, the spice and gaolers, and the lazzaroni, there is not one of his fellow-country men whom the Commendatore Matrix° would dare to ask to endorse his not, then, affect to be surprised at the news that this respectable diplomatist has renounced his minion to the Court of St. J•isines, and returned incon tinently from Fontainebleau to Naples. To say the truth, we rejoice that the Commendatore MAIITI3O has in the face of Europe openly declared that the gen ant of his master was unworthy to met foot on the shore of England, and unwilling to confront the steadfast gear of English freedom. In these days the words of free parliaments are winged with lightning, and the Neapolitan agent must have been hit, so to speak, "dying " by those few but honest and decline words of greeting which Lord PALMEasToa dung across the sea to him as he flitted through the French capital. The harm Mistmvaa, in his place in Parliament, expressed the thought and purpose of the English people the other night, and either M. Tuoi%igNal. or the Em peror of the Fuscr himself may have been kind enough to give the C.ANIMENDATIALR a timely hint that the country to which M. ma MoINTALLWICaT came once upon a time to take " a bath of life" was hardly a desirable climate for the complaint of all emissary from the Court of Naples. For what, after all, were the proposals which M. M• 11- us., carried in hot haste to Fontainebleau, and has already taken back with equal precipitation to his master? What are the " guarantees" which at the sound of a clear-voiced trumpet from Westminster the Neapolitan Envoy has let fall in a sudden tit of shame I Wu can- M. MARTIN° was actually prepared to promise on tochulf of Fit•NCIS 11.,t0 his subjects on the main land, the French Imperial constitution of 1852 l Yes ; all the " wise and sober liberties"—to adopt the words of the President of the Senate—of Imps:111d institutions were to be bestowed by royal grace on the few Neapolitans who have eurvi%ed the unrepealed though foresworn Constitution of 1848. Let our readers iniagine the present regime in France transplanted to Naples. In other words, Napoleonism minus the French people and pima &MBA 11. As it is aimply impossible that the Neapolitan Envoy could have the face to ask even the French Euraaoa for intervention in his favour, we must presume that the burden of his message to Fon tainebleau was the flattering idea of copying the Second Empire at Naples. M. klaarino could scarcely imagine that the idea would appear equally flattering on this side of the Channel. In London he would probably have been reminded that the Constitution of 1848, solemnly sworn to by Faaortrsvtr 11., still exiata of right and in fact. It may be that that pious monarch, who , IMMO THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY , lived like a Nano and died like a 1111011, was re leased by a grateful Port Eros his oat, hat it is certain that he was never released b 1 his people ; and, though dead men do not billeAere are living victims of that oath in the rani, of GARIRLLDI, and even in the Italian Parlismasat at Turin. Is it possible that this crouching Bon asow tiger, with the true feline instinct of a faithless and ferocious race, believes that he can smile his father's treacherous smile upon a trustful people in 1860 as in 1848 f Or does he imagine that the bombardment of Palermo min efface the memory of the bombardment of Messina I At all events, whether M. Mamrixo comes to England or not, our Government is determined that the British nation shall know what manner of man is the Sovereign who solicits, or was about to solicit, British succour and sympathy. In the papers relating to the affairs of Sicily presented to both Houses of Parliament by command of her MATE-wry last night, there is an extract of &despatch from Admiral MUNDY, at Palermo, to the fisces- TARY to the ADMIZALTY, which speaks volumes foe the mission of the Commendatore MARTINO if it does not account for that Envoy Extraordi nary's conspicuous absence from London at this critical moment. The despatch is dated " Hannibal, Pa " lermo, June 3, 1860." With • terrible brevity and simplicity, repressing but not concealing the generous indignation of a brave and gallant English seaman, Admiral MUNDY tells us how • paternal monarch bids farewell to the fairest of his cities From various sources I derive the " following account of the destruction of life and " property by the bombardment of the city. The " scene is reported as most horrible. A whole " district, 1,000 yards (English) in length by 100 " wide, is in ashes; families have been burnt alive " with the buildings ; whilst the atrocities of the " royal troops• have been frightful. In other " parts, convents, churches, and isolated edifices " have been crushed by the shells, 1,100 of " which were thrown into the city from the cite " del, and about 200 from the ships of war, be " sides grape, canister, and round shot. " The conduct of 01410•01 GAZILLDI, both during " tin hostilities amid slue their suspension, has been " nobkund generous." This frank and hearty testimony from the brave to the brave will, we are persuaded, be re ceived throughout Italy as a pledge of the disin terested sympathy of England for • suffering na tion and a righteous cause. No doubt the cowering bigot at Gaeta, in the prayers which he lifts up to all his saints for intercession, implores them to look down with favour on the smoke of that awful sacrifice—eleven hundred shelhe—and for his sainted father's sake, to grant a plenary indulgence to the latest filial perjuries he has em powered an Envoy Extraordinary to promise to the Powers of Europe in his name.

The royal troops have evacuated Catania, and order has bean established under a provisional government, the prin. cipal member of which was nominated by General Garibaldi. At Kyracuse the royal troops are confined to the citadel. At Palermo they are still in pomeesion of the forte and plasm, and the armistice is indefinitely prolonged —I hays, F. W. IlAirrni. A Berlin letter says :—" The Prince Regent has ands these arrangements :—His Royal Highness will remain four weeks at Baelealiaden. The Emperor Napoleon is to pus two days with his. The Prince Ite.rent at the end of t►e four weeks is, in company with the Princess of Prussia, to join the Dowager Empress of Russia at Wildbed ; and the three illustrious personages are afterward, to go to Weimar to attend a service in memory at the Grand Duchess of flaieWeinuir, who was a Itaselan Princess, and mother of the Princess of Prussia. The Prince Regent and the Dowager Empress will then go to Potsdam, where they will pan a week ; afterwards his Royal Highness will accom pany her Majesty to Wariaw, and will there have an interview with the Emperor of Russia, who is to be in that city to receive his august mother." Father Garazzi is now in Florence. A corre spondent of the A Amnon says The room in the Palazzo Quaratesi, in which he preaches to and prays with the people several times iu the week, is always crowded with hearers, chiefly of the lower orders, on whom the powerful and simple eloquence of the preacher, rich in familiar illustrations, and skilfully pointed with the shrewd proverbs which the Tuscan so dearly loves, produces ea immerse impression. A great number of the artisans, who, with their families, are constant attendants at these meetings, bring their Diudati Testaments in their pockets, for reference during the discourse. The Waldenes and the Italian evangelical churches have likewise their regular places of worship and week-day lec tures, and I hear that the sect of Irvingitea has opened • chapel here, and I. tasking converts in no small numbers. la short, the present aspect of Italy, iatellectuid sod moral, may be characterised by the statement that, on every hand, and in every class, is springing up the lavish manifestation at ea lateens life, proportional to the numbness sad sterility el the ornaturiss al death which went Wore." VEND*, JUNE 16, 1880. r EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (fox on ow' PARIS AWA, FIMMINL ♦ pamphlet of annexationist tendencies by M. About was published by Dentn within an hour or two after the departure of the Emperor this morn ing to meet the Prince Regent of Prussia at Baden- Baden. The title originally fixed upon was " Na poleon 111. and Prussia," but, at the last moment, it was oonsidered by authority that this heading, following upon the pamphlets " Napoleon 111. and Italy," and " Napoleon 111. and the Pope," and the events which succeeded those two opuscules," would look too glaringly official. It was therefore resolved to alter the name to "Prussia in 1860." This change involved a reprinting of all the covers just as the pamphlet was about to come out, and occasioned a delay of some hours. I have not had time to read the manifesto, but I see from the last page that its general scope goes to confirm the news which I have been insisting upon for the last three days, that the Emperor has gone to Baden- Baden to propose to the Prince Regent of Prussia a bargain analagous to that made with the King of Sardinia, and the result of which, in the annexa tion of Savoy and Nice, was celebrated with public rejoicings yesterday. Speaking of some German publications which he says tend to the assassination of Napoleon 111., M. About argues thus :—" If Orsini's criminal attempt had been success ful, he would have asseasinated the future liberator of Italy, and done more harm than good to his country. And so if these writers had raised up a second Orsini, they would have deprived Prussia of a most useful ally, and one whose destiny, perhaps, it is to render Prussia the greatest ser vices, provided that she will lend herself a little to his intentions." The corrupt bargain in con templation is here distinctly foreshadowed. It is stated that the Neapolitan Envoy, Signor Martino, taking the very broad hint given him by Lord Palmerston, will leave Paris for Naples this evening or to-morrow, without going to Lon don. He is understood to have delivered an auto graph letter from the King of Naples to Napoleon L My representations that the illuminations yester day were scanty is not in accordance with the account of the fête given by Galignani's Messenger, which says, " rarely has the illumination been so general." I suspect, however, that the eyes of the writer must have been dazzled by the glare of light from certain public buildings. I continue to certify that in most of the streets the illuminations were few and far between. dafignani says, moreover :—"lt would appear that the various embassies had agreed not to make any display, as no sign of life was visible in the English, Russian, Austrian, Turkish, Prussian, and Nea politan hotels. At the Sardinian, there were two or three lights displayed ; but whether they pro ceeded from the porter's lodge or from the main building it was difficult to say." At the Bourse the Bente opened for account at 68fr. 7150., being an advance of 20c. on Wednesday's closing quotations. This price was, however, not sustained. A good deal of uneasiness was felt on the subject of the many loans said to be impending in Europe. The Bente declined for the close to 681 r. 50c., being a fall of 25c. from the highest point of the day, and of sc. from the last Bourse. For cash there was great steadiness, and the last price was 68fr. 65c„ being a rise of 10c. Mobilier fell lfr. 25c. The railway market was extremely dull, and the closing quotations show no change. ITALY. SARDINIA. OMAN OUR, OWN COILLISPONDIENTI TURIN. Jura 12. I mentioned to you, in my previous letter, that I had heard the account of Garibaldi's departure and triumphs from the lips of one who was an eye witness of the whole down to the armistice at Palermo. As the same person has related everything to-day to Count Cavour in • personal interview, I think I may now venture, without indiscretion, to tell you that he is Signor Gastaldi, of Genoa, a brother of the banker of that name. He is • sea captain, and was second in command on baud the Piemonte. Could the vessel have been saved, he would have brought her back to Genoa, and re turned her to M. Rubattino, a director of the com pany from whom the two vessels were taken, but as it was not possible to save her, Gastaldi, although no soldier, neither could nor would leave Garibaldi, so long as the latter wanted help, and so he took part iu every one of the tights. In speaking of the voyage, he mentioned an in cident which might have had Very serious conse quences. Wnem the two steamers were out at sea beyond the Sardinian coast, Garibaldi gave orders that there should be no lights on board during the night. Wishing to take a little rest, he left the deck in chary to his second, desiring him not to lose sight of his consort, which was commanded by Bixio. But this steamer was the faster of the two, and after a few hours it became so dark that she could no longer be seen. Garibaldi was called, and he then ordered a lanthorn to be hoisted as • signal, so as to let Bixio see that he was too far ahead and must slacken speed. Bixio did, in fact, see the light ; but knowing Garibaldi's order to have none on board after nightfall, he concluded that it was some Neapolitan ship giving chase. On the instant he wore his own vessel round, and steered right against the supposed craft of the enemy, with the intention of running into her and knocking a hole in her side if possible. But when the two vessels neared each other, Garibaldi, by the faint glimmer ing of the stars, saw and recognised his consort, and having rung the large bell on board, a signal previously agreed upon between himself and Bixio, and springing to the wheel he avoided the collision. But for the chief's nerve and presence of mind the expeditionary force would have been destroyed then and there, and Garibaldi have been sent to the bottom by his beet friend, who would have perhaps shared his fate. Captain Gastaldi, who is • young seaman comparatively, being only seven and twenty, shook with emotion as he was describing this scene, where the hopes of Italy were so near the brink of ruin ; I do not know whether he told this circumstance to Count Cavour, though their interviews lasted more than an hour. What moves the statesman is less the dramatic and romantic than the international aspect of things he inquired minutely as to whether perfect neutrality had been observed by the English and French, and heard that it had, but I believe he is not so thoroughly convinced respecting the conduct of the Austrians. If rumour speaks truth, they have violated neutrality, and as may he readily con ceived, in favour of the King of Naples. Captain Gastaldi was sent for by an exalted per sonage, who wished to bear a minute account of the fighting, of Garibaldi's tactics, and strategical movements, in so far as the narrator could eluci date them. I have been told the personage in question warned at the description as if he himself were on a field of battle, and admitted that Gari baldi must henceforth be classed among the great generals of the age. Gastaldi was obliged to lease the log-book and diary he bad brought with him with his illustrious questioner, and feels naturally not a little elated at the honour thus bestowed upon him. The night before last our excellent tragedian, Ernest Rossi, played at the Gerbino theatre for the benefit of the Sicilians. The King came quite unex p =lly, and sent round his aide-de-camp to coin • t the actor, and tell him that his Majesty had "Atwood his effective performance with the greatest pkiesura Another comrade of Garibaldi's, Signor Muetica, had arrived at Genoa, but having fulUed his com mission from the general, whatever that was, he has again left for Sicily. There in now a project on foot for establishing a line of merchant-steamers between Genoa and Sicily, and a company at Mar seilles is entertaining a similar project. It would be a vexatious thing if the Genoese were to suffer themselves to be forestalled in this instance. A foreign diplomatist told me yesterday that the Russian minister, Stackelberg, wrote from Nice to his government, that the Italian patriots had bought three vessels, and meant to use them as transports for the conveyance of volunteers to Sicily. It appears that they did so with out the permission of the Sardinian government. The feeling of the Russian diplomatist in favour of the King of Naples is worthy of note. I have already mentioned to you what embarramment he (Stackelberg) ban already occasioned our government —more indeed than Austrian diplomatists have done. You will have observed, that Prince Alexander Volkousky has been sent to Naples, and the coun sellor Kakoshkine recalled ; the prince, whom I happen to be personally acquainted with, is a man of great ability, and • thorough gentleman ; he has lived a great many years in Italy, for the sake of his wife's health, and to gratify his own love of the fine arts, to which he devoted much of his time at Rome for several years. He has always kept up relations with the court of St. Petersburg, whose friendly agent he has always been ; and now, when his services are wanted, he becomes its official agent. Doubtless he will give prudent advice to the King to whom he is accre dited, but I don't know whether he will be able to stop the natural course of events. THE CONGRESS AT BADEN-BADEN. A letter from Berlin, dated June 12, says : The following has transpired respecting the arrangements of the Prince Regent for his visit to Baden. He leaves on the 13th instant, and remains a month at Baden. The Emperor Napoleon will spend two days with him. The King of Wurtemberg ia already there, and the King of Bavaria and Grand Duke of Baden are hourly expected. The Empress Dowager of Russia will remain at Wildbad while the Prince Regent is at Badge. They will then leave, together with the Princess of Prussia, for Weimar, to attend the ceremony in commemoration of the death of the Greed Duchess of Saxe Weimar, who was a Russian Princes*, and mother of the Priem" of Prussia. Thence the Prince of Prussia will go to Potsdam with the Empress, who will stop • week there. The Prince will then acoompany his sister to Warsaw, where the Emperor of Russia will come to fetch her. The Prince Regent will thus have, within six weeks, interviews with the Emperor of the French and with the Emperor of Ream. There was a general rise on 'Change to-day, in come , quence of the confirmation of the corning interview, as it is 'spilled as a guarantee of the duration of peace. This interview, moreover, has been the subject of • com munication addressed by our government to all the German courts, which shows what importance is attached to it. It is known that many German princes fear lest Prussia should deprive them of their sovereignty, and annex their states. They fear that the actual state of things may further the plan. The Prussian note is to reassure them on this point. At the same tame Prussia also invites various German Princes to attend the meeting at Baden-Baden. The Prince of Mohamed/era will remain with the Prince Regent during the whole of his sojourn at Baden. The Vienna papers, naturally enough, present the meeting at Baden in a light unfavourable to Prussia. A letter from Vienna, dated the 10th init., in the Deutsche Nord Zeitung, says : Opinion is much divided here respecting the interview between the Prince Regent and the Emperor of the French. Some feel satisfied, others annoyed, but all ages in be lieving that the Prince Regent has committed an error by accepting the interview, and that it is the commencement of the humiliation of Prussia. German patriots deplore this weakness of the Prussian Government. The Austrians per rano, who regard the Prussians in the light of rivals, chuckle with delight. The following is from the Oat Deutsche Post : It is said that it is the governments of the south that have proposed the project of a congress of German princes. The Queen of Bavaria, who is a Prussian princess, and a woman of superior intellect, may have contributed to render the relations between Bavaria and Prussia more satisfactory. The presence of the Emperor Napoleon appears equally certain. The Dresden Journal strives to no purpose to dispute the political importance of this interview by point ing out that the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of France and Prussia will not be present. The real Foreign Minister of France is the Emperor himself, but the reel Foreign Minister of Prusaia, M. von Schleinitz, remains at Berlin. The Prince of Prussia will be there alone, the Emperor Napoleon brings his minister; Prumia, then, is badly re presented. The absence of the ministers would prove nothing. At the interview of the Emperors at Stuttgart Count Walewski and Prince Gortchakoff were present, and yet no treaty was signed ; at Villatranca no minister accompanied the Emperors bf France and Austria, and yet a treaty was signed next day. No doubt the advances of Napoleon will call forth reci procal attentions on the part of the Prince Regent. This courtesy towards a prince who is not yet on the throne is an obligation on the Regent to pay his visit to Paris. Points of contact are established, and it may be left to the rhoner//cries of the two Powers to complete the connexion at their leisure. The city of Bologna celebrated, on the 12th, with gnat pomp, the anniversary of its Revolution of 1858. The Italian Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting of the llth, pawed the bill extending the Sardinian law on the press to Tuscany, by 203 rotes against 3. Madame de Lamoriciere and family have arrived at Marseilles from Rome. The Bristol Mercury says of General Garibaldi, "This brave man worked • free passage • few Years ago from New York to this port in • ship, the IA Quanta, which is now in our ducks." The Weekly Register states that the Pope has sow received from the " diocese " of Westminster 6,3401., and from Shrewsbury 1,5001. It appears from a statement in the Weekly Register that on the announcement of the Papal loan 80,0001. was allotted to be raised in England. AN ARTIST IN D ITICULTI Wt. —The Illuatrated LON don News of to-day contains letters and sketches from its special correspondent at Palermo Mr. Prank Vizetelly). Here is his postscript :—" Palermo, June 7.-1 intended to send you five sketches by the Caradoc, which leave. to-day for Naples, but lam unable. During the days of the fight ing, and immediately afterwards, I was so much about in the sun, and this, combined with the stench of the deal blocking the narrow streets in all directions, brought on an attack of fever that completely knocked me up for three days. I sat iunougst • pile of dead fir two hours or more at the White Benedictine Convent sketching the horrors there, and this, I believe, brought on the attack. I have five rough sketches, made in different prate of the town, of injury done by the bombardment to life and houses, and of different points where the fighting was most severe, iusd these sketches it was imp einble for me to finish on the spot, as I was exposed to falling houses and chance shots. Had I sot have been knocked up there would have been sent off ; as it is, I will despatch them the Ant opportunity." THZ IRISH RECROITH.—The lhi blin Morning News, the recognised organ of Dr. Cullen, in publishing an unmistakeable command from his gram, says :—" We are now in a position to state, with authority, that such a number of Irish emigrants have already reached Italy, that no more should think of proceeding there for the present. It is hoped that employment may, so some few weeks, be proviifed for a further arrival of them ; but until there is announcement to this effect from the proper bootees, we trust our friends throughout the country will in to prevent the further departure of emigrants ; i te lr ich could only result in disappointment to themselves and inconvenience to those to whom they mean to tender their services." THR NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY. —A fine filldwigth portrait of the poet Wordsworth, painted by Plakersgill, bas Mat been added to the National Portrait Gallery. A spirited head of Flaxman, grouped with a bust of Hayley, author of an "Essay on Sculpture," and the "Triumphs of Temper," and young Hayley, Flianian'a pupil, has been presented to the gallery by the sculptor's fried and executor, and • known lover of the fine arts, Mr. Crabb Robinson. The trustees have elm done well in mooring • portrait of Charles Dibdin, the writer who did 60 much to promote a national feeling in former times by his naval songs, and whose dramatic entertainments many yet living can remember. The picture is a rough early work of Thomas Phillips, and well known by the mesao-tint engraving. Two other portraits of very inferior workman ship, hut of important men, have also been exhibited on the walls. One is of Joseph Lancaster, the educationalivt, and the other of Bruce, the Abyssinian traveller, who, more than any other person, seems to substantiate the pointer's favourite allegory of " Time unveiling Truth."— Atheneum. THR NORWICH PROIIRLYTININO CARR. —NORWICH, JUNI 15. —The journey made by Mester Yansittart for the purpose of identifying, if possible, a person supposed to be the priest who he states recommended hini to " cut sod run" from Rackheath rectory for the purpose of becoming a catholic, proved futile ; and the young gentleman returned to Norwich on Thursday evening with the Rev.

PAB.IB, THURI4DAY EVEN! \ • I had a private view to-day of the cattle •l in the Chanipe•Elyseee, which will be open to the puh! . _ Sunday, and thenceforward till the mth. It is a e. interesting exhibition—far the best of the kind that ~; ever been seen in France. There are not, indeedo l y those incomparable specimens of English cattle and i h,„ which we saw in the same locality three years ago—bes,/ the prmeet show, instead of being a universal one, is elusively French ; but the collection of live stock frora tie 86 departments of France is the most complete that we e ever witnessed. English farmers and graziers who em us. nags to run over to Paris will have a rich treat. The tinguishing feature of the present exhibition is the adrefe, lion, teem the language of the programme-, ,:f the "cheralial asinine et outline" species, as well as the "bovine, oVies, and porcine." The horse show isi to me fanev the mostim teresting part of the exhibition. t wishing fort moment to question the infinite superibrity of the Er Z . •,. hunter and raee-horse, which Frenchmen are the fir acknowledge, I may safely say that the most fast, judge of horseflesh that ever galloped in Leicestersh. • cantered in Hyde-park, may now see in the Champs L , types of hacks, unlike anything commonly seen in Eta. which would delight his eye. I will instance No. -. hope the numbers will not be changed before the op: day) which with the confidence of a Meteor or an Ar.: predict will get a first prize. This is a Normandy three years old, remarkably well grown ; colour a dark brown, like a polished teak wood table, fol. black legs, elastic fetlocks, feet well exp, without being too large ; small head, coura... but good-tempered ir)e and black mane and tail i passing beauty—the mane of uncommon length. In of blood, speaking by the Newmarket standard, whi however, of difficult application with regard to f. breeds of horses, I should call her something betwec and three quarters bred. She is somewhat long in the I though without being at all tluey, and is perhaps a than,; too heavy in the forehand for leaping or great speed, bet is a pleasure hack she is one of the prettiest creatures 1 :rte beheld, and I have no doubt she is worth a good deal .1 money. No. 377 is a black mare from the Manche. 1./ which, as lamin a prophetic vein, I also bespeak a ;ru e . There is a magnificent castle-built, short legged amid mare (not yet numbered), the very image of a faux, Shropshire hunter named Cognac, whose portrait I remember seeing in the Sporting Magazine when I ea a very little boy; 266 and 268 are well-bred dark aimed mares worth looking at. No. 97 was the best blood 1 , 1.,E A that struck my eye, but there may be many better, far I could only take a cursory view on this occasion of the very extensive show. There is a large collection of brood cares with foals, sail it is really a pleasure to see the cotiveuitat loose boxes which have been provided for them—all a r il Uttered with clean straw and provided with racks, nraeg,a, and water troughs. There is abundance of forage stored within the precincts of the building, and green meat is brought in every morning. All the arrangements d, most creditable to the management. When I remember apart a huddled business the Smithfield Cattle Show used to be some years ago, and for aught 1 know still is, I cannot 13, be struck with the advantageous contrast which this eshi. bition presents. Everything that one can conceive posea seems to have been done to ensure the comfort both of the visitors and the dumb animals whom they will come to gee. The interior of the building (the ground-flour of it at lead) is entirely devoted to the bovine species. The garden, foto. tains, and miniature lake which were made for the 'loss show remain undisturbed, but around them are three doul.le rows of stalls, all occupied by bulls, cows, and calves, tie total number of which cannot be less than 1,000. What becomes of the milk from all the cows is a problem. Whin they first began to arrive, the drovers sold the milk iu tie neighbourhood, but it is said that the Prefect of Police hr put a stop to the truffle, fearing that the milk of con fatigued by long journeys may not be wholesome. I, how. ever, never saw animals in better case or more happy and contented than the present tenants of the Palais de Pit. dustrie. I have not so good an eye for a cow as I have far a horse, and therefore will not venture to forestall the decision of the judges with respect to any of my bone. friends. I will merely remark in a general way that an inspection of this part of the exhibition will convince sty competent judge of the fact well known to all Paris beef. eaters of tea years steadies and upwards, that the art and science of breeding and rearing of cattle has made great progress of late in Frame. Some milk white bulls cash cows, with peculiarly soft silky coats (of a race which I could not ascertain, for the catalogue is not yet out), will excite the envy of lovers of fancy cattle for parks. The little Brittany kine, of which there are some very perfect specimens, are also exceedingly beau. tifuL A cow of this race, belonging to the Princess Bac ciochi, has a calf by her side only four days old. On the first floor of the building there is a greet variety of samples of corn, wool, roots, honey, cheese, butter, &c. Agricul tural implements, threshing machines, &c., are placed out side at the east-end, towards the Tuileries. The horse boxes of which I have spoken run parallel with the river, alongside of the quay. My attention was to-day principally occupied with saddle horses, but there are besides these cart and draught horses in great variety. lam told also that there is a wonderful collection of asses and mules, but If so 1 must have missed them, as I only saw in all some eight or ten. The sheep and pigs (not very numerous) are in pens outside the west-sad of the building. These are, comparatively speaking, not so good as the bovine species. Most of the sows with pigs are unnecessarily fat. The sheep, the best of which are crosses of the Southdown, are manifestly inferior to our average English flocks. The wool of some of the Merinos is very good. There are a few very curious animals with the timid of a sheep and the beard of a goat, and wearing both goat's hair and sheep's wool. I looked at them long without being able to decide whether the sheep or the goat type predominated in this strange mixed race. Near to the sheep and pigs there are cheerful companies of the feathered race—Cochin-Chioa and other fowls, pigeons, turkeys, and ducks. There are also several pens of fancy rabbits. These are decidedly not equal to the tame rabbits bred iu England. After 1 left the exhibition I am told that the Emperor nod Empress came to see it on their way frotu the review. We (Army and Nary Ga:ette) hear that a draft report upon the organisation of the military departments has been prepared by Sir James Graham, and will be sub• witted to the committee at its flint meeting next week.
