THE PARIS UNIVERSAL ECHIBITION. (mom 11ULT wows) PARIS, Aram 7. GENERAL PROGRESS. Among the curious arrangements effected by the Imperial Commissioners is a medical department of the Palsis de rlndustrie, to which four doctors have been attached, with assistants. These will be in waiting, relieving each other at stated intervals throughout the time of the Exhibition. Thus patio suddenly taken ill may find succour in the paha. There are to be four or five hundred Exhibition remises, decorated with the arms of Paris, to ply from the palace to various parts of the capital, at mo derate fares. The number of jurors destined to decide upon the merits of the British section of the Exhibition has been fixed at 40. English exhibitors who are about to take advantage of the posts enfants, established by the Eng lish committee, at their h..use in the Rue de Cirque. , must have their letters pre-paid: it being obvious that the English authorities cannot charge themselves with pinup accounts. It is important that English exhibitors attend to this fact. The English engrav ings have arrived, and are in course of arracement but the French department of the exhibition will undoubtedly be the latest. I have heard of moat enterprising carpenters, who have undertaken to pre pare cases for goods b the 20th of May—toe exhi bition opening on the Ist. Prince Napoleon has altered many arrangements made before his return. Hie recent visit to the exhi bition palace has resulted in an order to pall down the phare, to which I referred in my last, and a chocolate apparatus that was to have been commies ons in the great central hall. I believe the above are not the most important alterations the President el the Imperial Commission has made. A brilliant collection of articles has arrived from China. As regards the prices of entrance, I may relate the pardoners of the changes which have been made. It was originally determined that there should be an aristocratic five-franc day ; a franc day ; the rest being four-eon days. To English people each prices may appear extremely reasonable; but they would not have satisfied the French. For, it must be fairly understood, that hitherto the French government has allowed the public free access to the Industrial Exhi bitions on certain days—just as the public enter freely, on certain days, the French Academy Exhi bition. In England the people are accustomed to pay everywhere; in France, the people expect the govern ment to prepare festivities for them gratuitously. The Imperial commissional', I am well informed, have taken this fact into consideration. They have decided that the four-son days are too dear. But here they have been met, as iu other matters, by the representatives of the company. The dividends must be looked alter. Four sous was too low, Instead of too high. M. Drouville did his utmost; but, I believe., most ineffectu ally ; and the prices now stand thus—One three franc day, one franc day, and remaining public days, entrance fee two sous. Fur this resolution the Imperial Commissioner. deserve credit : it is conceived in the right spirit. h appeals from the exclusive few to the muses. It will enable the working clauses of England and Germany to walk about the Palace ut Industry arm and arm with their working brothers of France. The Exhibition gossip which reaches Paris occa sionally from the departments is generally interest ing. One provincial demosstration in connexion with the Exhibition has struck me particularly at illustrative of the state of feeling in the provincia towns of Francs. It appears that the rival bodies of carpenters of Dijon—via., the Renards and the Com pagnons, have completed two trophies of their skill for exhibition in Paris. Having completed these tro phies they carried them, amidst the enthusiasm of the townsfolk, in sob mn procession to the Church of ' I St. Michel, where the workmen heard mass mud had a benediction said upon their works. The two com panies then went to the house of the mayor. The enthusiasm of the people of Dijon in favour of their skilful workmen is evidence of a right feeling: the benediction only accords with the religious profes sions of the country. The-se professions ate not those of England, so we will pass them by without comment. Among other wonders to be deposited in the Palais de l'lnduvtrie is a colossal glees from the manufactory of St. Gobain, messuring 18 equate mitres. From Bohemia a promise hos arrived of a set of garnet ornamen , s, including 14 000 of these preaiuus atones, of all sizes, made by a jeweiler of Prague. It has occupied the maker eight years to collect the necessary stones—which, the reader may remember, are found in unequalled quantity and excellence in Bohemia. - - . The Moniteur de la Flotte has receivtd a descrip tion of the goods for the Exhibition now on their way from Senegal. Tb, se contributions include all the native wood, of any value, elephants' tusks, a pickaxe and hatchet from Galant, wheat from the Isle of Morfil, indigo from Cayor at d Bamboos*, cotton, a native loom, a large colletr ion of leathern objects, daggers and lances, gold and silver bracelets of native manufacture, galbas, curious Dative tissues; bourtoungallee, or mantles of the native women; camels' hair woven by the Moore, and tassarente or Moorish carpets. From the same quarter of the globe comes a promise of three elephants' teeth, weighing 90 kilogrammes, or 180 lbs.; copal varnish, palm oil; (motto, a textile p ant fit for the manufac ture of cordage ; and pinstaalle threads, used for nets and sewing thread. I may now inform your readers that I have at last paned the barriers about the Fine Art hu;lding; and I have explored the galleries, thanks to the courtesies of the Eoglish oommissioner. It will be satisfactory to the English public to learn that the light in the galleries is excellently disposed; and that the space given to the English pictures and engravings is per haps the. most advantageous in the building. it is certainly the point farthest removed from the sugar refinery. Already the engravings are being arranged with the water-oolour draw ings upstairs. This is a collection of which the lovers of English art may well be proud. I wandered through the French and German gal leries—past acres of norace Vernet', Algerian scenes from Versaill, s—past the Last Day of Terror, from the Luxembourg—past other well pictures, which should have been left in their places, giving more room in this building to the promising painters of France. There were out more than four or five pictures actually suspended; but formidable rows of frames turn, d to the wall, of joints of colossal frames, blocked up eve-y gallery. Otte col seal painting already suspended is a bead of the present Emperor of the French, about ten times the size of life. It is Louis Napoleon so en through a angeityine glees, his decoration being about the size of a soup-plate. It is not a happy performance. In the seupture gallery —nearly all the French sculpture is arranged—there are Venuses delicately wrapped up in fine towels— stern, manly figures belt bidden with unsightly rags; and as I entered the gallery the colossal broom eagle was being wheeled away by a aumber of workmen, anparently directed by a negro foreman. In my next communication I will submit to your readers a list of the English *stings and sculpture sent to Paris. The vigorous attitude of the Fine Art managers in clines nee to believe that this, the exclusively govern mental exhibition, will be best prepared for the Ist of May. I have just been. informed that the imperial com missioners intend to join the machinery gallery with the Paleis de l'lndustrie by a covered avenue. How they will cross the Coure la Reins Ins not transpired. Another recent determination, I believe, take. by the imperial oommiMsioaers, is to do away with Malls. George's umbrella and walkingmtick stall., as the complex organisation of such a department must necessarily embarrass the exit of visitors. Visitors will, therefore, carry their parasols, canes, or um brellas, about with them. This is a proper freedom. It led to no evil results in Hyde-park in 1861.

All honour, then,to the arts of •lesign, and the cunning of the hand without the aid of which such wondrous creations could have no existents In 18'11 our se•se of courtesy got the hitter of our stubbers love of lacks and keys, and St. Stephen's, after long years of neglect, was not only cleaned and set in order, but a particular period of the day was appointed for showing the building " gratis." But foreigners have departed, and we have not yet learned to be polite to one another ; it is therefore to be feared that a little conjuring must be per , formed by those who would wish to inspect the Jae work during any other hour than that of divine worship. We cannot imacise people looking at a great man's works, sod not wishing to know something about the great man's history. Too little is known woneersieg our distinguished countryman. Had he Isom a man of war, instead of a man of art and science, bad his temples been wreathed with the laurel instead of the myrtle and *lire, kis life would doubt less have had greater attraction for the historian. It may be here remarked that it is so es.ggeration to soy that when we consider the moral sourer, which Wren displayed, awl the bold, ingenious contrivances, and vigorous eape died* he h od recourse to in achieving his triumphs, we are made to feel t►at, bad the art of war instead of the arts of peace engaged the attention of that wonderful man, the anode of history, aow so dumb about him, would not fur bish forth • ge I more famed for skilful ma sane/lag in the field, or the daring astute of his military esploits. We regret we cannot cite a more fall or Eater sting account of our great architect than that which Mr. Elates has compiled. The biography of artists should be mash mere studied by the public than it is. Such read log is ball highly instructive, aa well ea entertaining, and a more geseed taste fur such reading would pave the way for the better ordering amongst us of the important, but sadly neglected, affairs of art. In speaking of Sir Christopher Wren, we found it impos sible act to allude to his great pre deeded, loigo Josef, the founder of classical architecture in this country, the devoted admirer and generous emulator of Palladio.

At a petty erasion' held at Hoo-green, near Bouts . ford, Caeshire. on Thuriday, before the *Dusty magistrates of the hundred of Buckles a ease was heard raising the question of what is • bon; fiefs traveller. The New Beer Act has been felt as a great annoyance on the much frequented road between Manchester and Knoteford, the police continually threatening the nobleness with the terrors of the law, whilst persons of different stations is society, cal lag themselves travellers, as constantly threatened to annoy them if they n fused refreshareate. Under these dr cusistenoes, sod 'seine h w various have been the decisions of megi ttttt el in different parts of the country on this cab ject, the licensed victuallers in this neighbsurbood entered into • sutweririon, and determined to defend a case before the luatices, as • means of properly settling the question so for as their district is concerned. On Thursday, Mr. Jobe Wall, the proprietor of the Stamford Arms, Altrincham, was under the new act, for having supplied rereels menu 0 pommy In his house on Soaday, the 18to Ikbreary, within the prohibited hours. Mr. Thomas Wbei let, barrister, appeared for the defence, end addressed toe court at great leugth, not disputing the facts, but stating that the parsons supplied with refresh• minis came from Manchester, and contending that no effence had bees proved, though the onus probandi lay with the informant. A landlord wee indictable for retyping to entertain • traveller woo demanded lodgiog and refresh ment; and, biking at the etymological and received meaning of the word, to be • traveller it was only necessary that a man should be somewhere between - Ms own home and his peens of destination, Distance bad aotbirg to do with it. It could not be Intended by he act that persons who bad no opportunity of such recreation *inept on Sundae should be deemed not to be travellers if they wane from Manchester .o Bowdon or Altrioehaue to improve their health, whether they rode or walked. The assipstrates avoid not draw di.- tinetione which were sot to be found in the act itseU, and the act used • general interpretation. It wee quite clear to him taint the legislature could not intend to draw a distinction as to whether a person took such a journey for health or pleasure, because in the legislature, theoretically and eonstivatienally, was vested the supreme wisdom of the maims, and out of tbs mouth et supreme wisdom no such argue..-et could issue. The isteepretatioe to be put epos a word ea which so much binged should be broad, clear, and unmistakable ; and the broad view of the question was this, " Was • lean at home, or was he from home ?" _ . The plaintiff in this action sought to recover the value of a bond for one thousand rupeee, *scouted In the Beat Indies, with sneers of interest for eleven years at sin per cent. The defendant pleaded that the bond was given for an illegal consideration and under an illegal contract. Mr. Honeymeo was counsel for tee plaintiff; Mr. E. James, 0.C., and Mr. Lush appeared for the defendant. Mr. Hangman, in opening the ease, said that the plain• tiff and defendant were offices of the Indian army, and b•longed to the sth Regiment of Madras Native Cavalry. In the year 1814 the major of the regiment was desirous to swine, and an arrangement was made between the officers of the regiment to purchase his commission, and the plain tiff advanced the defendant the amount of his contribution, thus enabling him to Lanais his promotion. The defendant did not, it appeared, ruder these circumstances, think it inconsistent with the character of an .61cer and a pathos., *tier having lot eleven years neglected to pay either interest or principal, to torn round sad say that the contract was illegal. He should pat in the bond, and prove that it was executed by the de fendant, arid the jury would then hear the suture of the de fence that wee to be set up to the plaintiff's cleim. Tbe bond was then pet in, but Mr. James objected that it was nut receivable by fee...a of is not bearing the stamp required by the leas of India. Baron Putt said there mutt be proof that • stamp was re quired betore he rejected tb i evidence. Mr. Brisedell, • clerk in the judicial department of the But lodic Campasey, was then called, and he produced ease printed regu.atioas in uterine. to the subject of stamps for deeds of this description ; and which were to the sae that no such d. ed sh cold ee receivable in evidence salsas bearing • memo of a certain amount. In answer to the quesion put by the learned judge the whams said that these regulations had been framed by the g cot in India and tranemitted to this country, and they were piloted under tae ataihority of the But bide' Company. That company bed supreme power on all such mature, and they c .old have rescinded all the regulations is question if they had been so minded. Mr. lioneyseen asked the witness if be was in a condition to say that the Brat ludia Company bad by any distinct act isuctieeed those regulations relating to stamps, and he re plied that he was not. The learned Gunnel upon this enteaded that there was an asillessat evidence of the law of Leis requiring such ea inetnemeet as this to hear a stamp to justify the court in "sienna, it. Mr. James baeisg been beard upon the other side, His Lorianip ruled that the deed was admissible, and it was .ceiordte.gly put in sad read.

This wsa an iadi.trasat preferred by Mr. Finning, the proprietor of Ike Manna premiere known as Fannie :'s wharf, London-bridle, against Mr. H elewond. the choir. man of the Iron Steam. Boat Company; Mr. Burney, the superintendent of the Citizen Steam-Boat Company; and two labourers named Fell and Boyle, for having crea ed a atheism sad obstruction on the river Thames. The defendants placed upon the record a plea of " Not guilty." Mr. B. James, Q.C., Mr. Bramwell, Q C., and Mr. Lush, were amend for the prosecution ; Mr. M Chambers. Q.O , Mr. Ballantine, and Mr. Bvill, were for the defendants. This persecution arose out of the erection of a pier under the &starch of London-bridge, on the east ci s, by the de fendant* for the use of the passer gen by their boats, and which the prosecutor alleged not only interfered with him is his business as • wherfinger, bat that by its encroaching upon the waterway to the river was aleo an obstruction and inceinenienee to the public who had occasion to nevigare it. It will be recollected that there is already one pier so the upper side .of the nob, but in order to obviate the inconve. awucs sad danger to the persons who had to cross the crowded thoroughfare for the purpose of going to the railway &tattoo, it appears that the directors of the two companies above men'ioned hod caned the pier in question to be erected, thus enabling peptise re to come up the 'Repro( the bridge on the east sine, without crossing the road. A good deal of eppoeition, it will be remembered, wss manifested by the wharliegen and others is the vicinity when the pier was feinted, end the City authorities were applied to for their simetinen as conservative of the river, to its being allowed to romath. It appear, however, that no satisfactory condo Mon was come to, a nd In the result the pretest prosecution was levitated, with • view to try the question of the legality aids pier. Mr. James opened the ease briefly to the levy, end has:rig emplaned to them the nature of the inquiry, he said it appeared to him that the question to be disposed of was really ins of law, and that, in the end, it would be (or his lordship to say whether the erection of this pier, under one of the arches of Loradoa-bridge, close to numerous wharves, sad where there was such enormous traffic, was aot • nuisance and obstruction to the public), and, on that ground, ought to be removed. He said he really did ant believe that there was any substantial answer to the indictment, and that his learned friend merely by making an eloquent speech, and detailing the ad• vantages which be supposed to be derived by the public from the erection of the pier in question, would endeavour to induce the jury to give a verdict for the defendants. He' seed not, however, he said, remind the jury that the law would aot sanction say proceeding which tended nostalgic. the general convenience and rights of the public for the accommodation of one portion of it ; and therefore if it wee shown to their satisfaction that this pier really did obstruct the river highway, it would be their duty to say that the defendants were guilty. Several witnesses, principally watermen and lightennen, were then ezamiued, and their evidence weal to show that the pier obetractel the landing place or steps at the bridge, and that it rendered it very difficult fur ethernet to land their passengers at them. One of the witnesses stated that while rowing a gentlemen and a lady and a sick youth who were going ro the railway, to the stairs, his boat was nearly upset by netting foul of the qoarter of the dummy of the pier. It appeared, however, on eroes-ezamination, that the danger was created by the gentleman having pushed his umbrella spinet the dummy, and the force of the tide drew him over upon the seat sea a t ea..red the boat to be nearly repined. It appeared from the testimony of ell the witnesses that when it was flood the tide ran very strong at this spot, and in shore, and in consequence of the pier diminishing the chenuel or, waterway, it was with considerable difficulty that a barge could be brought up, as it is technically termed, at the prosecuthr's wharf. When the saw had proceeded some length, upon an inti motion given by the court, the learned counsel on both sides conferred together, sad alter a goed noel of discussion among themselves it was announced by his lordship, that all patties bed weed that the further hearing of the case should stand over to the 24th of April; an animation at the same time being given that there was a prouability that la the meantime some arrangement would be made that would obviate the necessity of any further proceedings.

The court at the cunning this morning was 'resided fw exams. A large number of the nobility and gentry were present, as it was understood the Attorney-Chanel would the defence: The Attorney General commenced by stating that he re presented an upforninete gentleman, who, whatever may have been his errors and faults, could not be eonsidered other teen an object of compusion. Horn and bred In the so. penance of a noble inheritance, he found himself involved is this most painful aid wretch ed Inquiry, and in danger of Ming despoiled ut the inheritance which had been the object of his legitimist* hopes; and that not by any of tease accidental circumstances to which, in the mutability of human toiugs, all men are at times subject, but by the macitinations, by the hostility of those at whosilumda--frona. ties 01 bluod and natural affection, and from the renellem nun of the years of infancy and childhood paned neither . —he might have expected affection, or at all events mercy. he learned counsel preceened to may, that his client did cot =Manic that in the case of the late Mr. Hopwood there era- insanity or lunacy, but that owing to the gradual decay of the vital powers there was the weakening of the nano • lent which rendered this gentleman, slthosith oompenat to couverse and take an interest in the *rather, Woke of diathesis's, incapable of the.. powers of re flection demanded by more tuan the ordinary duties of life : tbat he had become not only incapable of mental energy himself, but ea.cely in the Mite of micd in sthish be was capable of being prompted, end of receiving his thought., se: it were, from persons acting Open him. Tbe learned counsel described the gradual lapse of the testator's intellect, kir manifested la • forgetfule•ie of the habits of his original high breeding, descending ohm as a disregard fur comma external proprieties, and the use of bad and irritable Nosing.. He Own denounced the insinuation that Capt. Hopwood was desirous of attempting to prove his father m lunatic; and to this ascribed the testator's eager and the alteration of his will. Copan Hopwood knew he had only to come into his father's presence, aid his anger would be • appeased by explanations; but to guard against this the brothers removed the will from the lather's Chia tody. Attuning to Mrs. Hopwood's (Capt. Hhpwood'e wife) visit to the hell, and her eudeavoure to obtain a private interview with the testator, the learned counsel Said that the testator three times assented thereto, but that Mr. P. 1 Hopwood intervened with "I will not permit it." Why nut? demanded the Attorney 0 I. Could he suppose fur a moment that she intended to do the pour old man any injury ? Could he suppose for a moment that she came -. there for the purpose of getting him to sign any document I • • The thing is absurd—too absurd to hear a single momeetle consideration. What, then, was the motive ? I defy you. iugenuity to suggest more than one : it was data mince that there 'humid be no reconciliation. It was felt that the intercession of the suppliant doughtrron law—the wife of the father's own son—would he powerful to mitigato his wrath and turn his heart from his eager towards his son, whom he had loved so long, and the rev. gentlemen wee determined that the opportunity should not be eflorded. Mrs. Elitism Hopwood urged, unrested, implored; she went upon her handed - knees; she implored forgiveness for her buabaud; she ea. treated her latheriu•law to allow him to retire ; she Ina minded him that they had parted friends; she ~eked what he bad dune sloes, and she implored that he miethe be per mitted to return. Mr. Fronk Hopwood, she situ tell you, interrupting her, said, "He has behaved l very ill.—be bee said all over the country that lather wee mod ;" and the poor old man mid, " Yes, he says I am mad." doe deals. it, again implores him to let his son mme hick I and every time she does this the Rev. gentleman, • the brother of the eon, comes in "gain, with hie chiding, bighting words,—. Tell him to write ;" au* the old man says, "Ti., tell him to write—tell him to write." At last, seeing that her supplications only pro duced dis tress, and that her influence was withered by this baneful influence, she &inn, end this moving went, that une would conceive would reduce a heart of stone to softness —a daughter praying to a father for mercy for her bust:Led. for his son—and con.mous :hat • entitle word from him who stood beside her—the brother cot this alts -nt ma—world have accomplished her purpose—is closed. Far num eddies hey, all that shit can du is frustrated and resented abortive —blighted by the in ion of the son and brother— that sun end brother a minister of Christianity and peen, who, one would have eupposef, would, at such a moment, have gladly added his supplications to ben tor an ening brother. But uo, it was nut to be so. The learned gentle man then entered upon an examination of the arrangement/ of the well as set forth in the evidence, and cone:tatted by calling on the jury to du justice to his dee,,ly.imjered client. The lint witness called fur the defence 1148 Su.an Fauny Hopwoud, wile of the detendant. Mrs. 11••peuod 5.1.1 have flee children, and was always upon terms it effeetioe with Mr. Hopwood senior.
