A !etc 1 4 11tIon al the Awes is published every evenisq diinis the miss menu, eoutainin the results of thc day's taiga of is now • crowned King. That is more than his ancestor FaEUEait g, called the thirst, could boast. That rude and turbulent personage seems not to have known the use of mantle, orb, and sceptre ; perhaps never saw them. But his successor lacks no attribute of a perfect h tog. FaEOEsu•a, again, although an author, was sadly wanting in idea'. He knew how provinces were won and lost, and in a rough way managed to be obeyed ; but of the high mo narchical theory he appears to have been grossly and deplorably ignorant. No such charge can be brought against the K :No who was crowned yesterday. It has been commonly supposed that his MAJESTY is a mere soldier, a man of force, great at reviews or in the streets where insurgents were to bo smitten down. This is a mistake, and indeed an injustice. The KING is a man of reflection, eloquent, and not unwilling to impart his wisdom —a Prussian Sowirow. England once had • royal Sohiiisue ; not • native, however, it must be confessed. Our SoionoN was willing at times to make extemporary speeches from the throne, some of which are recorded, and are still read with curiosity. The Prussian Sotomier has made a speech, which seems wonderfully like those of his British prototype. The Kix.: of Pacsas♦ has been explaining his theory of the Prussian monarchy to • number of his subjects. " The rulers of Prussia," said his MAJESTY, addressing the members of the legis lature, "receive their crown from Gin)." We have no means of denying the fact, which seems to follow on any theory of the Divine government of the world, and to be true alike of the police man's staff and the monarch's sceptre. But if the Kiss meant more than that, then, however true it may be, he should have been careful, abrres all things, to keep his secret. For, explain it how we will, it impre cisely crowns of this kind, held by a mystical title, that now-a-days oftenest tumble off. HENRY of Fusses, Faancni of Nartra, and his namesake of Moues*, could tell each his experience on this head. Unless the KING was thinking of the epoch of the Treaty of Vienna, the Holy Alliance, and Madame KRUDINes, he would have done better to say nothing about the origin of his crown. If ho had given thanks to the God of Spoil, there might, indeed, be some grins propriety in the swaggering vaunt : at least, the inhabitants of Silesia, Posen, and Eastern Saxony may be forgiven if they thus in terpret the claim to govern by the title of the sword. But the descendant of the great FRME RICE would probably like to forget the means by which his house has come to kingshi;i. The royalty of yesterday apes the rank and prestige of the old sovereignties of Europe ; and in • realm the seams of whose patchwork an still new and obvious he raves of indefeasible tide and mound= about Right Divine ! Perhaps the most repulsive feature of the proceeding is the attempt to import into it the solemnity of religious sanction. Such pitiful mummery would be deplorable at a coronation in Austria or Spain; bat bow would Leraza laugh to scorn such hypo- critical words, could he but hear them ! The thing becomes still more ineffably ridiculous and repalsive when we recollect that Prussia is not even noninaily Lutheran, and that the bulk of her people--variously composed of Jews, Calvinists. Catholics, and a hundred shades of speculative batista—no more believe in the mystery-mongiring of King WILLIAM at Konigsberg than the mem bers of the Embassy at Jeddo believe in the au thority of Ituceea. What means, then, this wretched attempt to steal a few poor drops of holy oil for the anointing of the regal brow 1 Or what infatuation has possessed a man who, if be were but simply true to himself and to his country, might play a great and useful part in the affairs of Europe 1 Was it for this that sympathy and alliance with Constitutional England has so' long been insisted on, or that intimacy with the " enlightened despotism" of Francs has hula urged, ea some thought, not in vain ? Represen tative Government in Prussia has certainly been at the slowest growth ; but the apologists for its slowness have always argued that it was an esti• matile movement to detach Northern Germany from the principles of the Holy Alliance, and to obliterate all traces of legitimacy in the Court and Administration of Berlin. While the late KING reigned, prejudiced men despaired of this, because they had to deal with one whose mind was so bewildered with mysticism, religious and political, that be never could be made thoroughly to untie,:. stand what his best friends meant, and they never were able to understand him. But his SUCCOURr has no such excuse. Bred a soldier, unversed in the Jesuitic ways of bureaucratic life, be got the credit with many of being • man of common sense, who, if he did not en fast and did not go far, would at least avoid the absurdities and solecisms of his pusaled-pated brother. ilia leanings were believed to ho reactionary in some respects, though it was hoped he wool.' prove himself liberal in others. On the whol.-, however, men looked with satisfaction on his accession to the throne, because they felt IP THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1861. satisfied that he had no theories to mislead or phantasies to beguile him. The extraordinary escapade of Thursday last dissipates these hopes, and drives the most unwilling to believe that the dynasty of Prussia, like the regime ancirn , is un tattzht and unteachable. if the foolish harangue of the self-crowned Kixo to the representatives of his people be the result of Ministerial counsel, it can only be viewed as a signal-gun fired ostentatiously to announce to Europe that the Court of Prussia has made up its mind to eschew all identification with Constitutional Europe, and to resume anew its compact with St. Petersburg and Vienna. [ The fact that Vicrox Emir ANUEL'S Viceroy was not received at Konigsberg as the representative of Italy, but only as the plenipotentiary of the ci-d:rmit dynasty of Savoy, is now clearly explained. The visit to Compligne evidently goes for nothing. Forgetful that his throne, compared with that of Kaiser and of Czar, is but a piece of military upholstery not yet seventy years old, his Prus sian lilkiracry prefers to imitate Muscovite and Austrian pretensions, in the hope of being mis taken in their dark shadow for a really legitimate King. It is the fashion just now in certain quar ters to rail at the institutions, the statesmen, and the public acts of another country, whose political era is about contemporaneous with that of Prussia. The bubble of Democratic Government is about to burst, we are told, in America, because certain provinces have revolted from the Union, and because a few months have elapsed without their being reduced to allegiance by force of arms. But it must at lent be owned that nowt or utterance of the elective head of the American State is comparable in fatuity or folly to that of King WILLIAM of PRVIIRIA. President LINCOLN may not have succeeded in winning back the disaffected to their duty as citizens by his re monstrances and reasonings, but no disinterested critic will say that in his Inaugural Address he was betrayed into assumptions of lawless authority, or expressions which implied a denial of all other authority M the State. Democracy may not be the best form of Government ; but its severest censors must confess that it is less repugnant to all sense of moral, social, and political right than that of Prussian absolutism. tit Court.

The Queen and Prince Consort, accompanied by the PriIICeSMI, Alice and Helena, and Prince Louis of Hems, drove yesterday to Loch Ca/later, and then rode on ponies to the top of Cairn Lochan ; they then rode down again to the Spittal Bridge at the foot of the Cairn wall, whence they drove home.

The splendour displayed in the various proces sions was very great. After the coronation ceremony, which took place in the Church of the Castle, the processions pro ceeded at noon to the Throne Room, where Car dinal Geissel, in the name of the catholic clergy, and Prince Selma Lych, in the name of the nobi lity, addressed the King. His Majesty then proceeded down the grand staircase to the court-yard, and, surrounded by the whole court, his ministers, and the invited wit noises of the coronation, received the addresses of the Presidents of the Prussian Chambers and of Count Dolina-Lauck, representative of the Estates. The King, in reply to these addresses, said : " The Kings of Prussia have now worn the crown for 160 years. "I am the first King to ascend the throne since the crown has been surrounded with institutions in harmony with our times. " But remembering that the crown comes from God, I have notified by my coronation in a sacred place that I have received it in humility from His hands. " I know that the prayers of my peoplo have accompanied me in this solemn act, and that they also pray that the blessing of the Almighty 'nay rest on my government. " The love and fidelity which have been dis played towards me since my accession to the throne, and which have just been manifested in so tonching a manner, are tokens that I may reckon under all circumstances on the fidelity, devotedness, and self sacrificing spirit of my people. " Trusting in these qualities, I could renounce the custom of requiring an oath of allegiance and fidelity from my faithful people. " The gratifying proofs of affection and devotion which were lately afforded me on the occasion of a fatal event have strengthened this confidence. "The providence of God has preserved the bleating of peace to the dear Fatherland. My valiant army will protect it against dangers from without. As regards dangers in the interior, Prussia will remain free of them, because the throne of her kings remains strong in its power and its rights. "If the unity between King and people, which has made Prussia groat, continues to exist, we shall be enabled, on the ground of acknowledged rights, to resist the dangers of an agitated period and all the threatening storms. " May God will it so." The Minister then read the Act of Foundation of the Grand Cross of the Order of the Red Eagle, of the Order of the Crown, and of the extension of the order of Hohenzollern. He also read an act of amnesty, several grants of nobility, and grants of orders. The King, when the ceremonies had been con cluded, lowered his sceptre three times, and re entered the Castle amid the hearty and enthusiastic cheers of the people. MONTENEGRO. RAGUSA, Ocr.lB. A Turkish war bulletin announces that a battle has been fought on the frontier of Montenegro be tween the Turks and 3,000 insurgents and Mon tenegrims, resulting in the defeat and pursuit of the latter. The Turkish despatch adds that the Montene grin frontier was respected, but the Montenegrins on the contrary state that it was violated by the Turks. BERNE, Ocr. 1& M. Grandgnillot having in a recent article in the Conatitutionnel persisted in his charges against the government of Geneva, the latter has determined to bring an action against him fur libel in the French law courts. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE AND ROME. The Independence Beige of yesterday evening says, " We have received from Paris the confirmation of what has been said lately touching the differences between M. de Persigny and M. Thouvenel upon the Roman question, and the explanations ex changed between them before the Emperor. )L de Persigny, appealing to the interest of France and the incontestable popularity which would accrue to the empire from a solution con formable to the wishes of Italy, vehemently insisted that the question be finished ; M. Thou venel, without being less favourable to the wishes of the Italians, shows that he is governed by the fear of diplomatic complications, and by the con viction that the Pope, being prepared:to submit to a fait accompli, but to reject any arrangement, a more energetic action of France at Rome would remove him from all influence, and create the greatest em barrassments. The Emperor shares the opinion of his Minister of Foreign Affairs ; and neither the counsels of the Minister of the Interior, nor the more pressing language of his cousin, Prince Napoleon, have yet altered his views." POLAND IN A STATE OF SIEGE. General Lambert, on the occasion of placing the kingdom of Poland in a state of siege, published a proclamation to the people, in which he assigns the following reasons for resorting to that course : "Political manifestations have taken place under pretence of religious ceremonies. At the funeral of the Archbishop of Warsaw, for in stance, seditious emblems were carried in pro cession, calling to mind the union of Poland and Lithuania. In consequence of the culpable con duct and complicity of several Roman catholic priests, the churches of that faith have become places for manifestations hostile to the govern ment, tend the priests deliver sermons exciting to hatred and contempt of it. Both inside and out side the churches the people sing hymns which are interdicted by the authorities ; collections are made for a revolutionary object ; and in certain places the prayers delivered at official solemnities for the prosperity of the Emperor and King have been replaced by prohibited hymns. All these facts constitute • series of offences which cannot be tolerated. Nevertheless, the approach of the elections for the municipal and district councils decided me on not adopting any coercive mea sures, in order not to shackle the exercise of the institutions granted to the country. The manner, however, in which the elections passed off has nut justified my expectations; they have taken place in many localities under the influence of a moral constraint, accompanied by manifestations hostile to the powers that be. The electors, for getting that their rights are confined to the elec tion of members and candidates to the municipal and district councils, have signed requests and addresses which are legally prohibited to them. Acts of this kind, threatening the overthrow of legal authority, and having introduced anarchy into the country, compel the government to adopt the most effectual measure,. This is why, in conformity with the orders of the Emperor, the kingdom of Poland is declared in a state of siege, in order to secure the tranquillity of the peaceable inhabitants as well as public order." RUSSIA. The University of St. Petersburg is to be re-opened as soon as possible, in consequence, it is supposed, of a despatch received from the Emperor. The entrance tickets are to be suppressed, and with them, as a matter of course, the obnoxious sentinels to whom it was intended they should be shown. There are only 'five or six more points to be deter mined, and then the difference between the Uni versity and the Ministry of Public Instruction will be at an end. MEXICO. We (Post) believe we may state that, subject to the terms of the convention between England, France, and Spain, which is likely to be concluded in the course of a few days, the expedition which is about to be despatched to Mexico will consist of three squadrons, respectively furnished by the con tracting parties. It is understood that for the purpose of affording immediate and efficient pro tection to the lives and properties of foreigners resident in Mexico, her Catholic Majesty and the Emperor of the French have determined also to de spatch a military force, consisting of six thousand men, of which five thousand will be contributed by Spain and one thousand by France. EGYPT. A telegraphic despatch from Trieste, of the 17th, states that the last intelligence from Egypt is very gloomy. The extraordinary inundation of the Nile has destroyed more than 50 villages. The railroad is tofu up ; the telegraph line between Alexandria and Corfu is broken. The palace of Ismail Pacba, and another belonging to Ilwitapha Pacba, are destroyed. (awrzals ismagume.) FRANCI. PARIS, OCT. 19. The Monitenr of to-day announces that the Courier des Alpes and the Journal de Bermes have received a fint warning. AUSTRIA. VIENNA. Ocr. 19. An Imperial patent has been published to-day, ordering the collection of the direct taxes in the same manner as last year, with the reservation,, however, that any changes in the taxation which may be necessitated to circumstances shall be con stitutionally effected. HUNGARY. PESTH, Ocr. 18. Last night a noisy and offensive mock Rereurtle was executed by the populace before the house of M. Kappy, the government commissioner. The police and the military interfered, and some shots were tired, on which the crowd immediately dispersed. No person was wounded. A large number of soldiers occupied the streets, and perfect tranquillity was re-established. SPAIN. MADRID, Ocr. 18. The Correspoudetuia Autngrafa, of to-day, says, " Spain, France, and England will dispatch a joint expedition to Mexico, but Spain will make a dirpct demand for satisfaction for the personal insults she hu received." ITALY. TURIN. Oct. 19. The report that the King of Italy is about to proceed to Naples is astounded. PROSECUTION OF THE ABBE PASSAOLLL ROME, Ocr. 15, Imam On Saturday last the Pope summoned several cardinals to a council at the Vatican, for the put pose of considering what measures should be taken against the Abtai Psasaglia. This morning the police eutered the house of GREECE. ATMINI6, Ocr. 16. The criminal tribunal has not yet pissed sentence on the student Durios, guilty of the recent attempt on the life of the Queen. Twenty-one persons implicated in the conspiracy of the 28th of May last have been committed for trial. Public order at Athens is undisturbed.

A telegraphic despatch from Locarno states that the duel between the Prince de Val d'Ebro and (leneral Amoco did not take place, the latter not having made his appearance. Tho marquis, akar waiting fourAnd-twonty hours, had a procZs-verbal drawn up of the facts, and left on the lfith. 1 1 A correspondent of Galignani, writing from Pau, lon the 15th, says :—" If we may 'judge by - the number of British already arrived awl comfortably installed for the winter, Pau may count upon the most brilliant season ever known. The accommodation, however, is ample, and it is not probable that the day will ever arrive when all our Gorr country-houses and apartments will be occupied. Hoppe rent, particularly in the town, is much higher than ft should be, and as for fuel it Is, I believe, quite as dear as in Paris. Coal at Mr. the 100 kilos. is even cheaper than wood. The railway from Bayonne, which will, it is to be hoped, be tioished is another eighteen months, will muse a considerable fall in the former article, and wood will then be at a reasonable figure. A new theatre, worthy et the town, will be open 111 a year's time. In the same fine building there will be a concert-room and handsome apart ment on the first story, suitable to a club such as our English one has now boooma." Tho St. Petersburg journals state that an iron steamer, in the form of an enormous cigar, 80 feet long by 8 feet wide, has just been oonstructed at the manufactory of Alexandrowski, and is about to be sent from St. Peters burg to Cronstadt. It has been built on the plans of aM. Wyoans, at the expense of some Americans, who intend to offer it to the United States government, but what advan tages its peculiar form are likely to present are not stated. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom on ows PARIS, FRIDAY EVIIIIING. M. de Persigny's circular is commonly spoken of this morning as a decree for the suppression of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul—a measure which has for some days been rumoured to be on the tapis. But such a description is by no means borne out by the text of the document, which merely intimates that the government intends, to an extent by no means practically clear, to revive sleeping laws against all unauthorised societies, and to exercise its own discriminating discretion in regard to permitting their continuance. The cir cular places the freemasona,who exist only by tole rance, on precisely the same footing as the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and other religious societies. There can be no doubt, however, that, whatever may be the construction and consequences of the circular, the immediate occasion of it is the notori ous hostility to the government of the directors of the Society of St. Vincent de PauL It is in vain that the Bishop of Angouleme protests this very day in the Monde against the interpretation put upon a recent discourse of his at a conference of the society held at Lusignan. The government knows as well as the public that the managers of this society have long made use of the funds sub scribed in the name of charity for the purpose of maintaining an ultramontanist propaganda. Never theless, M. Persigny thinks fit, probably on the principle of equality, to drag in the freemasons upon the present occasion. It is true he speaks of them in complimentary teruis, which will give great offence to the clerical journals, but the plain meaning of the circular is that hereafter no masonic lodge can meet without the permission of the prefect, and no delegates from any lodge can be sent to Paris without the permission of the Minister of the Interior. I have heard it suggested that the real intention of the government is to take into its own hands the nomi nation of the presidents of all the charitable so cieties (including masonic lodges) to which the circular refers. The Opinion Nationale is by no meant pleased with the circular. It sarcastically remarks upon the "extraordinary impartiality" with which the minister speaks of all societies that come within the scope of the expression "unauthorised." It draws the conclusion that, notwithstanding the daily attacks of the bishops upon the principles of 'B9, and the undisguised hatred of the clerical party of democratkal institu tions, the government "does not yet dare to treat that party as an enemy." Whether the forbearance arises from fear of the future or from a souvenir of a former alliance, the Opinion cannot say, but it regards it as very unfortunate that, while the government is so tender towards its enemies, it alienates the only friends upon whom it could one day reckon. The Bourse, without being at all brilliant, was firmer. The Rents roes 10c. for cash and account, closing at 67fr. 90c. and 67fr. 95c. Mobilier rose 3fr. 76c. The Italian Loan was in considerable demand, and rose 38fr. Great anxiety is felt to know whether K Rothschild undertakes to pay the coming dividend. Railways were from 2fr. 60c. to 6fr. higher. A grenadier of the 3rd Regiment of the Imperial Guard hung himself yesterday morning in his sentry-box at the park gate of fit. Cloud. It is said, apropos of this catastrophe, that the remark able circular against suicides in the army which Marshal Maguan issued several months ago has not had the effect of diminishing their number. THE FIRST WARNING TO THE " REVUE DES DEUX MONDES." Count Persignyhasgiven tin premier emertissement totho Beene des Deur Monde., on acoonut of a passage in the well-known "Chronicle of the Fortnight," published with the signature of M. E. Forcade. The high character of the Review, and the dis tinguished ability and intelligence of the writer, make this the moat serious of the measures which M. de Persigny has hitherto taken against the presa. The passage of the C7woniTte designated in the avertissement, and declared to be one in which the author " resorts to the most untruthful state ments (assertions le plus mensongeres) in order to propagate alarm in the country and excite hatred against the government," occurs in the course of an elaborate discussion of the policy of the Bank of France in prospect of a deficient wheat harvest. The failure of the crops must in any case have caused flifficrrlty ; but M. Forcade observes, "If the crisis could not be averted, the political and financial administration of the government in the circumstances calls for remark. Three principal points call for observation : viz, excessive increase of expenditure; an unwise impulsion given to public works, such as extensive demolitions and corresponding building undertakings in large towns and cities ; and the absence of any settled princi ples in economic policy." M. Foreade goes on to say, that the natural and immediate result of a crisis was to disclose a scarcity of capital. " But if that crisis surprises a country the capital of which has been prodigally destroyed by unproductive expen diture, the perturbation is the deeper and its con sequent disorders are the more deplorable. If it bursts out just as excessive encouragements have been given to enterprises which fix capital, de troying its present disposability, it rages the more inteni e l. Lastly if the government itself has indnl an immoderate unproductive expenditure —if t e government itself has excited speculation instead of limiting it—the crisis, by its very exis tence, Locusts the government of improvidence, and warns it, in tones of severity, to change its course betimes." M. Forcade hopes that the sinister alarms now circulated may be belied by the event ; but in any case the lesson must not be lost. "Eve,' from a false alarm we may learn how important' it is that the continued increase of our budgets should come to an end, how important it is to desist from the destruction of capital by demolitions which give an artificial excitement to building speculations, how important it is not to give a false character to the movements of industry and com merce by privileged and artificial institutions of credit." lastly, M. Forcade expresses the convic tion that ono day oven capitalists will be con vinced that there is no good financial government without political liberty, without the full and vigorous control of representative assemblies, and the vigilant discussions of a free press." The I:Mbytes of to-day observes that, accordiug . to • document signed by Count Pereigny, the French press were informed that it need fear nothing so long as it did lot attack the principle of the government and the dynasty. "In reading the incriminated passage," says the Debate, "of the Revue des Deu.c Monde:, we find in it a criticism more or leas vigorous—more or less founded (that is got the question)—on the financial policy of the govern ment ;we discover nothing more in it. There are, then, other things besides the principle of the dynasty which it is perilous for the press to touch in under certain circum stances. We are compelled to remind ourselves of this mice more, after having tried for some months to forget it." _ _ AL Rattassi paid a visit on Thursday to Prinoe Napoleon and the Prisons Mathilde, and was to dine yea today with the Prince. . .

THE PRINCE OF WALES AT CLEHBEE. On Thursday morning the Prince of Wales, ac companied by the Duke of Newcastle and • number of his guests, embarked in the Lady of Lincoln and sailed down to Hardwick, where the Prince inspected the farm pre• raises of his noble host, and also the model village in course of erection there. At Hardwick the duke's labourers and their families, u also a number of his tenantry, were congregated, and very enthusiastically cheered the youthful Prince, who gracefully acknowledged their manifestations of loyalty. The Prince, accompanied by the duke and other noblemen, then went for a day's shooting in the neighbouring preserves. Yesterday morning the Prince, accompanied by the duke and other noblemen, drove to Birkiands, which is a part of the old Sherwood Forest. Thence they were driven to Worksop Manor, the residence of Lord Foley, where they partook of luncheon. The party after. wards proceeded to the collieries at Shirroaks, belonging to the Duke of Newcastle. The Prince there inspected the engine -house, the machinery for lifting the coals, Sc. After • brief stay at the colliery, his royal highness, the duke, and party, including Lady Sefton, Lady Belper, and Lady Denison, proceeded on foot to the village of Shire. oaks, to lay the foundation-stone of a now church the Duke of Newcastle has determined to raise for his work people. A large crowd assembled to witness the cents mony, including members of nearly all the principal families in the neighbourhood ; and the Prince was received with loud cheers and waving of hats. The Prince appended his signature to a record, of which the following is a copy :—" The foundation stone of this church, dedicated to Almighty God in honour of St. Luke, and founded by Henry Pelham, Duke of Newcastle, K.G., Sze., was laid by his Royal Highness Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, October 18, 1861." The document having been also signed by the duke, was folded and put into a glass jar, which the Prince deposited in a cavity under the foundation stone. Prayers were then read by the Rev. H. F. Clinton, chaplain to hts grace. His royal highness having been presented by the architect with • beautiful silver trowel, proceeded to perform the ceremony of laying the stone. The Rev. Mr. Clinton then besought a blessing on the good work. and the ceremony terminated. The Prince and party left the ground amidst repeated cheers, and returned on foot, surrounded and followed by a loyal crowd, to the collieries, where carriages awaited them. The party returned at once to (lumber. His royal highness will leave Clumber, accompanied by the Duke of Newcastle, • little after 2 o'clock this (Saturday) afternoon, for the Worksop Station, escorted by the whole of the Clumber troop of the Sherwood Rangers. From thence they will proceed to the Ratfoed Station, where they will be met by the Retford Rifle Corps, and also by the mayor and corporation of Retford (but no address will be presented), after which his royal highness will proceed direct for Cambridge.

In an account of the manner in which the King of Holland passed the day of 'Wednesday, when he visited Versailles, it is stated, " At 4 o'clock their Majesties re• turned to Trianon from shooting, end • battery of the ar. tillery of the guard went through several movements, to the great satisfaction of the King, who expressed his gratification at what he saw. Before they left Trianon, the artillerymen received AO hares, which they suspended at their saddle bows as a trophy of the day, also • quantity of the birds killed. Their Majesties did not return to Paris until dusk." A Corfu letter of the 13th mentions the arrival of the Emperor of Austria on that day. The Emprees'n health iasaid to be improving. The city of Dordrecht, in its capacity of being the birthplace of Ary &heifer, intends to erect a statue to the artist.

At one of the minor theatres of Vienna, crowded houses are drawn by A Voyage around Ike World, to which the We circumnavigation of the Novara has fur. niched its chief materials. The drop-sane on this occasion is a large map of the world on If ercetor's projection, and the sconery, copied from sketches taken on the spot, is justly admired. A virgin forest in New Zealand, in which one oi the natives brought home by Dr. Hoehatetter is introduced, must be regarded as a triumph of scenic painting. THE BULL-FIGHT% AT SARAGO*4.—The principal bull. fight took place to-day at 3 o'clock. Never was aniphi. theatre more crowded. If you had scattered a peak of pins in almost any part of the building, hardly one of them would have reached the ground. The seats are covered by a roof, but the arena is exposed to the open air; otherwise such close packing would have been intolerable. It is • fine thing to see 10,000 people sitting together at any time, but there is something about a Spanish crowd peculiarly fascinating to a stream The uniforms of the soldiers, the cocked hats of the policemen, and the lavish mixture of colons in the dresses of both men and women, with here and them costumes of the quaintest description, produced • scene upon which any artist might have dwelt with pleasure. At the appointed time the band struck up, and the whole corps of performers saluted the president. Three horsemen and sight or nine men oo foot, all dressed in the gayest manner and most of them provided with bright coloured shawls, remained in the ring. Suddenly in rushed a bull, and, after pausing a moment, as if trying to make out where he was, rushed at both foot men and horsemen in gallant style. It was curious to see with what agility his attacks were eluded by the former and how skilfully the latter AIWA their spears ; but the sufferings of the goaded bull uud the gored horses were painful and disgusting in the last degree. How • man of such advanced views as Louis Napoleon should be desirous of reviving so barbarous • pastime in France it is difficult to understand. Eight balls and six horses were killed and drawn off in triumph from the ring before the sun went down. The spectators seemed to take • savage pleasure in the agonies of both kinds of quadrupeds. No wonder that a people accustomed to such sights should not think much of using • knife in their quarrels with one another.
