It has been said that no suspicion attached to the brothel keeper ; but you, sir, from your experience, must know that robberies of extensive character take p'-ace at brothels ; and, I may ask, may not the prosecutrix have left the property behind her at this place ? Mr. Elliott—According to the evidence of the keeper of this house, and I have no right to dis believe her, when she first entered the room where the parties were, she saw the watch and chain placed on a table beside which the prisoner stood, the prosecutrix being then on the bed. She then left the room to procure some spirits, and on her return the property was not on the table, as she had left it. Mr. Lewis—Well, sir, drunk as she was, might not this woman have taken up the property, car ried it in her hands into the street, and dropped it there, or somebody taken it from her. The prisoner, though filling a humble situation, is a respectable man, and down to the present affair has conducted himself with honesty and propriety, and I say there is nothing,beyo n d immorality, perhaps,which is hot consistent with his perfect innocence. Would he, I would ask, have accompanied the prosecutrix to her own house, run the risk of being seen by her servants, stopped there t wo hours in her back parlour, and had connection with her there, if he had robbed her of this property? 'Would he not rather have got rid of this drunken woman as soon as possible, and have left her on leaving the brothel ? I say he would; and the qxestion for you, sir, to consider is this, whether any jury . is likely to convict in such a case. I think no jury will be found to do so, and I hope that, for the sake of public morality, you stop the case here, and discharge my client. Mr. Elliott said the case was one that must go before a jury, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. ENGLAND IN THE OLDEN TIME. (From Dean " Lives ry. of the Archbishops of Canter- Few persons seem to be aware of the amount of prosperity enjoyed by our ancestors after the fusion of the British and Anglo-Saxon races, and before the invasion of the Danes. Nearly the whole of the southern part of our island was at that time under cultivation ; and William of Poictiers speaks of England, at a later period, as the storehouse of Ceres. Rye, barley, wheat, and oats were grown, and the orchards were prolific with cider. The grapes were acid, and the wine was coarse ; but . . . Smithfield and Holborn were vineyards from which the cellars of London were filled, while the other provinces regaled on the vines of Gloacestershire and Essex. The hum of bees was heard in various parts of the country, and their whereabouts is indi cated by the name of "hells." Honey was a valu able article of produce and commerce, being manu factured into sugar and mead. There appears to _ _ _ have been a wild pony natural to the island, and English horses were in demand in the foreign mar kets. Although they were never much employed by the Anglo-Saxons in military serNice, we may presume that field sports required the maintenance of steeds, and fox hunting was popular not only with the thanes, but, as we learn from Alcuin, with the clergy and monks of Northumbria. The popu lation of the country being small, there were still in existence large hunting fields, from which the wild animals paid tribute to the tables of the luxurious, while, beneath forests of oak and beech, the serfs and slaves were watching the swine which formed the animal food of the masses. In the plains were herds of cattle to supply the large demand for leather, when leather was required not only for shoes and breeches, but for gloves, with which even the common people were obliged to cover their hands before they ventured to pene trate the thick entangled wood. Eels, in abun dance, supplied the Midland districts, and fisheries were established on all the coasts. On the coast resided the merchants, whose social position was as high as it is at the present time. The successful trader had a right to the rank and privileges of a thane, and the laws made for the encouragement of commerce was esteemed. The basis of all our im provements in the manufacturing districts at the present time-is iron. Whenever a manufacturer or mechanic gets an idea into his head, he goes to the implement maker to help him to carry it out. And even in the Anglo-Saxon times, though for a diffe rent reason, iron was the basis of wealth. It was an age when every man's hand was against his brother ; when all Europe was one vast battle-field ; when in the most retired district none but an ecclesiastic, and in many districts not even he, could go unarmed. Swords, battle axes, halberds, javelins, spears, arrow heads, all kinds of missile weapons, in addition to defensive armour, head-pieces, greaves, and shields, were everywhere in demand, and the possession of iron was better than the possession of gold. IThere can be little doubt that it was this, in addition to the surface gold, that rendered Britain such a valuable colony of ancient Rome. Pennant, in his History of Wales, adduces authentic evidence to prove that the Romans esta blished ironworks in the Forest of Dean in Glou cestershire. Iron foundries existed also in Sussex and Kent at a very early period. The ironworks in the northern and midland counties were not opened until centuries after these had been in operation. The ironworks in Sussex were not abandoned till 1776, and then not from want of ore, of which we still possess an ample supply, and of superior qua lity, but because, in the expense of smelting it, it was impossible to compete with the coalfields in the north. In the counties of Sussex and Kent, timber or wood was almost indigenous, and hence in the Anglo-Saxon times, Ohm wood alone was employed in furnaces, the value of coal being scarcely known the southern counties were what the mining dis tricts of the north have subsequently become. To these sources of wealth must be added the plentiful supply of flint ; flint being employed instead of iron in many of the missiles of war, though requir ing the use of iron to shape and point it. In our allusions to the courts Ethelbald and Offa, we have seen the decay of morals among public men ; and the evil example set by the great was the more injurious, from the conformity of the royal criminals to the church, and the readiness evinced by worldly ecclesiastics to account their benefac tions as compensating for their crimes. From the court, corruption descended to the monasteries. It had been the wisdom of Theodorus to convert the chief monasteries into schools of learning, and these institutions were, for a season, a bless ing to the land; but when zeal for learning de clined, they became very much what the colleges would be in our present universities, if they were no longer places of education. From the begin ning, the monasteries of England had with few exceptions been free, and in their corruption they became lax. With laymen chiefly for their abbots, they became at first agreeable country houses, re plete with all the appliances of learning and plea sure, but afterwards they gradually degenerated into abodes of idleness and dissipation. In centives to evil are sure to succeed rapidly on the removal of intellectual restraints or religious excitement. The demand for monastic reform was everywhere on the increase among that portion of the community which was still earnest in the cause of vital Christianity and the religion of the heart. It was first raised by Bede ; it was repeated by Alcuin ; it was urged in the time of Wulfred ; but among the evils of the time, the inactivity of the primate, and, in consequence, of his suffragans,was one of the greatest. We do not indeed find com plaints made of the rapacity and injustice of the English prelates, —charges brought against the French hierarchy in its dealings with monastic in stitutions,—but there was a carelessness and negli gence in enforcing the regulations enacted with a view to reform, from time to time, at the provincial councils. Religion itself was emasculated, u s we gather from the popular legends ; an d in stead of forming that manliness of character which nerves the true Christian to no t b h le once high-spirited eaeetosef of daring, superstition brought down high-spirited Saxons to acondition imbecility which would have incapacitated the English race from becoming what we see it to he, if the arm had not been nerved to resist the horrors of a foreign invasion, and if new blood had not been infused into the veins by the fusion of Danes with Anglo-Saxons, through a peaceful process to which we shall have frequent occasion to refer. But th at degeneracy in animal courage which rendered t he demoralised Anglo-Saxon an eas re t o incapac it y t o therm" led, led, neverthele ss , to onegreat result.eemthe leadingnaey T of the rul ers an d th g ff i o f tbe clear few e under enabled the cf a The the sighted, energetic and o gener ous prince, t bring on m discordant el e me n t s o f the Heptarchy into har y and order, and in the King of Wessexto establish a monarchy in England. .C> - _ TILE BOVZ' ,PROSECUTIONS: "! That tyrannical provision in t;le Code Napoleon which punishes all comments on the conduct of a public trial has just been used by the State Procura tor Moller and his abettors to inflict an indignity on our countrymen at Bonn. It will be remem bered that when, on the examination into the case of Mr. Macdonald, this official applied a number of insulting epithets to the English travelling on the Continent, the English residents at Bonn signed a protest in which the conduct of M. Moller was spoken of in terms not more severe than were warranted by the provocation, but too free for the institutions which prevail even in the Rhenish Pro vinces of Prussia. The inculpated functionai:y at once proceeded against our countrymen for improper language uttered against him while he was in dis charge of his public duties. What was thought of his conduct in the first trial by the Prussian Govern ieent is now well known to the world. Although the creed at Berlin is that an official can do no wrong, yet the spirit with which the matter was taken up in . England and the r e monstrances of the British Legation induced the authorities to inquire in to the matter, and the result w as th a t the Procura tor Moller was reprimanded and told to be more guarded in his language for the future. However, t his could not prevent him carrying on his prosecu tion against the British residents at Bonn. They had in their protest used language which might be construed into a contempt of Court, and bad in particular charged the prosecutor with a "cowardly" attack on the English nation. So Mr. Perry, w.he drew up the document, and all who signed it, have; been brought to trial, and the process is onlijust over. Sentence has been pronounced, an Mr. Perry has been condemned to pay 100 thalers, or undergo five weeks' imprisonment in def ault. Th r ee '? fo A other gentlemen are fined 25 thalers each, with nine days' imprisonment in default. The magistrates engaged in this second investi gation are acknowledged to have behaved with Act all due courtesy ; and, no doubt , t he y were glad to have an excuse for passing a comparatively lenient sentence. But against any sen t e nce at all we mui a t p r otest in the name of justice and common sensd. nci at, Whatever may be the technical mer its of the case, r . there is no doubt that Moller showed so much j no. t ro i gligence in his duty and so bad a spirit n his re marks that any criticism o n him is fully justified. i s lz a H . In the first place, if an officer of State is to be pri . f. vileged in the performance o f his dut y , he s bound to confine himself strictly to the matter in hand. Moller might have inveighed against. the defen unfairly., to obtain a conviction, dant . ; he might have used all his infine . nce,. even the criticisms of the English resideni:g, for h© would not have wandered from the strict without justifying li t oits of his duty. But whe n , without cause, merely to ; ra g his spleen against the Englishrien o he declaimed in an insulting friendly an w t hom he s d aw with the' coarsest language again s t a people, he will be thought by all unprejudiced m y ent° have for feited the privilege of his office. The case, accord ingly, against the English defendants is so pecu liar, the circumstances are so exceptional, the pro vocation was so great, that an acquittal was the only proper solution of the affair. M. Moller should have been told that the comments were not made on him in the execution of his duty, but in doing something which was totally unconnected with his duty—that is, giving way to his temper and polluting a court of justice by an unseemly harangue. But, bad though the conduct of the State Procu rator would have been even were Mr. Macdonald guilty, it is now proved to have been far worse. If even the original, defendant had behaved dis gracefully, if he had been in his own person All that Moller described the English people to be, still the Procurator's language would have been indefensible. He would have had no business to generalize, and to cast on a community the blame due to one man. But it is now conclusively shown that Mr. Macdonald's account of the affair was perfectly correct, that the places were taken by him, that he merely touched Dr. Parrow's wife when she entered the carriage, and indicated to her that this was the case; that the lady's hus band immediately began to storm, and called an inspector, who, without giving any opportunity for explanation, ordered Mr. Macdonald out of the car riage, and that Mr. Macdonald was morally, if not according to police regulations, justified in refusing to leave: It also appears that this very Dr. Parrow persuaded a lady who might have given evidence to absent herself, and by these means aided in pro curing an unjust conviction. To the Procurator Moller it fell to make the prelinainary examination —it was his duty to sift the matter, and it was owing to his negligence and stupidity that Mr. Macdonald was brought into court at all. After blundering in this first inquiry, and coming to the conclusion that Mr. Macdonald was in the wrong, he takes upon himself most zealously the part of prosecutor, and launches out in the manner so often described. More than this, he, in accordance with the usages lately exposed in the police trial at Ber lin, kept Mr. Macdonald for six days in a dirty In icon, when the whole matter ought to hnvo been settled in at most 48 hours. When all these dbllin quencis are put together, there is certainly sail eient reason that Moller should be prevented from wreaking his vengeance on our countrymen for merely protesting against his most offensive acts. It is now for the Prussian Government to say whe ther this sentence shall be carried into effect, and also to decide whether some compensation is not due to Mr. Macdonald for the scandalous treatment which he has undergone. We sincerely trust that our Minister at Berlin will not lose sight of this affair. Foreigners are unable to understand the importance which Englishmen attach to the per sonal treatment of their countrymen abroad, and how the Bonn Railway case excites them as much as any question of high policy. But our feeling is the right one. Individual security is more essential even than national greatness. The sum of a com munity's happiness is made up of the happiness of its members, and every household among the upper and middle classes of the United Ringdom will find their s af e ty an d pl easure i n foreign travel diminished if the Bonn Railway case ends in the victory of an un courtly official. PLYMOUTH, Dec. 25.—1 t is very unusual for snow to remain long on the ground in this vicinity, but for nearly a week past the town and the neighbouring country have been covered. The weather is, however, very calm. The chief interruption to the regularity of the trains on the South Devon, Cornwall, and Tavistock Railroads has been caused by an increase of traffic exceeding the ordinary ave rage of the season. RACES.—We see how much will has been expended to extinguish the Jew, in vain. Look at the unpalatable conclusions of Knox, in his " Fragment of Races"---a rash and unsatisfactory writer, but charged with pungent and tudorgetable truths. " Every race has its own habitat." "Detach a colony from the race, and it deteriorates in the crab." Sec the Shades of the picture. The German and Irish millions, like the negro, have a great deal of guano in their destiny. They are ferried over the Atlantic, and carted over America, to ditch and to drudge, to make corn cheap, and then to lie down prematurely to make a spot of green grass on the prairie.—The Conduct of Life, Ey Ralph Waldo Emerson.

The church is flanked by two wings, which are to contain the priests' apartments and offices. The build ing is far from complete, but the gilding is proceeding rapidly, and seems to be continued on the stonework be neath the cupolas. Behind and around this church demolition and recon struction are going on at a great rate ; the new Boulevard de Monceaux, which stretches from the Place de l'Europe to the Barricre de PEtoile, passes close to the new church: Place de l'Etoile has recently been supplied with a large number of extremely light and elegant lamps, but the effect is very much injured by the use of ground glass, which takes away all the brilliancy, and causes the beautiful arch to be in positive darkness as compared with the Luxor obe lisk, which rears its head amidst the Grecian and Renais sance structures of the Place de la Concorde. This curious but ill-placed monolith is splendidly lighted, while the Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile is scarcely visible at night, unless the moon takes pity on its hidden beauties. From every part of the new boulevard run other boulevards and streets ; the Hospice &Mollie has been pulled down, and the apace where it stood is being covered with magnificent houses. In fact, the Quarrier Beaujon is being so transformed that it is scarcely to be recognised. It is not generally known, per haps, that this quarter is named after M. Beaujon, who had a most luxurious villa therein, and who inhabited the Hotel Evreux, which had been occupied by Madame de Pompadour and the Marquis de Marigny (after whom a street or avenue is named) and which became afterwards the property of Louis XV., and was re-named the Elysee Bourbon, now Elysee Napoleon. The park of Monceaux is being traversed by a boulevard, and the other day the sum of 41 millions of francs was awarded for the ground taken for that purpose; half of it belonged to the late Louis Philippe—that was confiscated to the State, but the other portion of the money goes to the ex•• Queen Amelie and her children. Many people will remember a circular colonnade with a statue in the centre ; the columns which formed it have been unfortunate ; they were prepared for a grand mausoleum at St. Denis, to re ceive the remains of Henry IV., but which was never com pleted, and they have now stood in the deserted park sup porting nothing for years. A portion of the park has been laid out in squares and building plots, but the remainder is to be cultivated as a public pleasure garden. In other parts of the town the masons are at work just as actively ; the Palais de Justice has received considerable improvements and decorations. Amongst the latter is the placing of six marble busts in the small hall or chamber of the Pas-Perdus. These busts represent three civil lieute nants of the Chatelet, Le Camus, d'Argonnes de Fleury and Angran d' Alleray, and three presidents of the civil tribunal of the Seine, MM. Berthereau, Try, and Moreau, all men of high rank, but amongst whom M. d' Alleray is in every way the most renowned. He fell on the scaffold dur ing the revolution rather than plead ignorance, for, when asked whether he was aware that he had broken a law of the Republic by sending aid to his children who had fled from France, he answered, " I know it, but there is a law more sacred than that of the Republic, viz,, that of nature, which commands fathers to support their offspring." The old wall which ran along the garden of the Luxem bourg has disappeared, and is now being replaced by an elegant and massive railing throughout the whole length of the garden. A new street is also being opened on the other side of the gardens, which will thus be completely isolated from the houses. It is said that,the city has granted a pension to an exca vator who has discovered a very simple method of preserv ing gas and water pipes. He had observed that when laid in argillaceous earth they never became rusty, but that in a calcareous soil they were rapidly destroyed ; he therefore proposed that all pipes should be surrounded with clay. If the plan is effective, he certainly deserves his pension well. —Building News. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Dec. 24. . LAMBETH.—THE AWKWARD CASE OF MRS. CRAGGS AND THE CABMAN.—On Monday, after the night charges were disposed of, William Walker, a cab driver, but who appeared to be a respectable man, at least so far as appearance went, of his class, and who stood remanded from that day week, on a charge of robbing Mrs. Mary Anne Craggs, the wife of a respectable man, of her gold watch and chain, a gold pencil case, and other property, in a common brothel, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, for final examination. Mr. Humphreys, jun., attended for the prosecu tion; and Mr. Lewis, An., for the defence ; and at the, time the case was called on the court was much crowded by persons anxious to hear the proceedings. It will be recollected from the particulars given on the last examination, that the prosecutrix on the evening of Thursday week, left her home in the Holland-road, Brixton, to attend a lecture at the Assembly-rooms at the Horns Tavern, Ken nington-cross, and according to her own admission was not sober at the time. After the lecture, and while she was still labouring under the effects of what she had previously taken, she proceeded to the White Hart public-house, a short distance froze the Horns Tavern, and there bad sixpenny worth of brandy and cold water. The testimony of the barman who served her there went to show that, though she had evidently been drinking before, she was not drunk, and had then her watch and chain ; but her own testimony was that after tak ing this brandy she lost all consciousness, and had no recollection of what passed until she found her self in a bedroom not her own in the company of a man, but whether the prisoner was that person she did not know, and could not say. The next that was seen of her was seated in the prisoner's Han som cab, which was close to the White Hart, and she gave the prisoner some money to get a pint of old ale, which another cabman brought from the White Hart. The prisoner then got into the cab with her, and both were driven to a brothel in the neighbourhood where they remained for two hours. They were next driven to the resiience of the pro secutrix in Holland-road, where the prisoner re mained with her in the back parlour for two hours more, and immediately after he was gone, at four o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Craggs' servant observed that her mistress was with out her watch, and a search was made, and it was then discovered that the watch, chain, pencil-case, and purse, which contained a sovereign and 9s, 6d. in silver when the prosecutrix left home, were all gone. Information of the cir cumstance was given to the police on the following morning, and the prisoner, it appeared, had kept out of the way until the following Sunday evening he gave himself up to the police at the Brixton station. Inspector M'Coy, of the P division, who had charge of the case, was in attendance, and, in reply to a question from Mr. Elliott, said he had no fur ther evidence to offer. Mr. Lewis said he had not been present at the last examination, and requested that the evidence might be read over, when he had some questions to put to Mrs. Cragge, the prosecutrix, and other wit nesses. Mr. Elliot said he could not allow such a viola tion of the usual practice as having the case re opened. On the last examination the prisoner was provided with legal assistance, and every opportu nity had been given to his advocate to cross-exa mine the witnesses as he thought proper. The case, in point of fact, had only been adjourned to give time to trace the property, and the adjourn ment therefore, being for a particular purpose, he (Mr. Elliott) could not permit a re-opening; but if there were any question which Mr. Lewis wished to put, he might do so through him (the magis trate). The depositions were here read over in extenso, after which Mr. Humphreys addressed the court, and called for a committal of the prisoner for trial, on a charge of stealing the watch and other pro perty belonging to the prosecutrix. He was sorry to admit that appearances told much against his client, yet he was enabled to say that her con duct, unfortunate as it was, was still capable of ex planation. Her family had been most respectable, and she was the wife of a gentleman holding a most ' respectable position as a merchant, but had, unfor tunately, latterly lost a mother to whom she was attached, and since that time gave way to habits of intoxication, which Mr. Craggs, her husband, did his utmost to check ; but as he travelled on his own business, and was from home for several days throughout the week, he had not the opportunity he could wish, and her intemperance led her into the situation of being taken advantage of by the prisoner, and robbed in the manner that had been described.

DR. LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En gravings from Life, representing the various Organ s in Health and Disease. The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20 years has made the Diseases arising usually from Ymprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred Afflictions, dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period long preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex perience. A professional prejudice, which hanpily is now fast disap pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the general designation "Nervous and Physical Debility," though these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence of so important a department of pathology being, neglected is, that suferers from the infirmities in question, virtually r:pelled from consultation with prac titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles of Physicians'and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the me di c al profession. Those who may have a suspicion that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred hepes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace cbronic embitterment by permanent content. - Dr. La'Mert. M.D., Honorary Member of the London Hos pital Medical Society, Ice., is the only legally qualified regis tered practitioner who, for 20 years, has devoted his attention to the treatment of these disorders.

Demolition, reconatructicn, and embellishment in the capital and its environs seem to proceed at an accelerated rate, and, under existing circumstances, it is natural that it should do so—as one leg of mutton is said to drive down another, so may one house or one street be said to pull down another, and as the demand for employment has naturally grown with the thing upon which it lives, there appears no chance of the improvements or alterations of Paris coming to an end until every inconvenient street and almost every inelegant house is done away with orreplaced. For the builder and architect Paris is at present, and is likely to remain for some time, the widest area for the study of demolition and construction, and it presents the oppor tunity of seeing what to emulate and iwhat to avoid in almost an equal degree. If a student desire to 'see rapid and solid building, exquisitely worked details, with archi tecture of every kind, good, bad, and indifferent, let him come to Paris, for here he will find all those features on a grand scale. Notre Dame begins to issue forth from its long endured coat of hoarding and dirt, and to exhibit its beauties in something like a satisfactory manner. The scaffolding is all removed from the choir and transept, the former has been paved with marble, the stalls have just been placed in position, and the grand altar, which was described in the Building _Yews some time since, now exhibits all its beau ties, and all its glaring defects too, to the public eye. The next thing to be taken in hand, or rather to be com pleted, for all the preparations have been made, is the com plete restoration of the great rose window in the western front. This window, which was repaired in 1726, threat ened to fall to pieces; a new window has, therefore, been made, which is an exact fac-simile of the old one, and the preparations are now being made for substituting the one for the other. The magnitude and delicacy of the operation will be evident to all practical men when it is stated that the window in question is 42ft. in diametbr, and that the whole façade itself is in a most ticklish condition. This latter will, of course, be thoroughly restored at the same time. This facade was entirely the work of Jean de Chelles. The plumbers are now at work placing --a cree.ello.ted ornament along the of The roof. T . The Cathedral of St. Denis is also proceeding rapidly to completion, and presents many interesting features. The original building, which was erected on the site of the present cathedral, was raised over the tomb of St. Denis before the invasion of the Franks ; this is spoken of by Gregory of Tours, who bears witness to its magnificence—a term which must of course be accepted conditionally. This original church was reconstructed by St. Genevieve, the Patroness of Paris ; and again by Dagobert, with increased splendour, about the year 630. In the next century Pepin commenced the rebuilding of it. once more, and took great pains to obliterate all recollection of the work of the Mero vingian prince ; the work commenced by Pepin was finished by Charlemagne in 775. Again in the twelfth century the church was entirely rebuilt by the Abbe Segur, who, how ever, preserved beneath the choir the greater portion of the crypt of the Carlovingian edifice. The abbe's work was ill-executed, and in the following century it threatened to fall to pieces. St. Louis caused nearly the whole of the ehoir, the nave, and the transepts, to be rebuilt ; in fact, nothing of the former structure remained but the facade, the chapels around the choir, and a door at the base of the north transept. At the time of the revolution, the Cathedral of St. Denis was terribly mutilated, and, although Napoleon twice started the idea of its renovation, nothing was done till 1816, when all kinds of strange alterations were made with out any evident reason, and continued till 1846, when they were stopped by the dangerous condition of one of the towers, which was obliged to be pulled down. In the latter year, the work was taken in hand in a methodical manner by M. Viollet-le-Duc, then appointed architect of the cathedral ; the remains which presented any artistic value were carefully classified, and the repairs were enabled to be carried out according to the original designs of Percier and others, in the Gaignieres collection in the Bolleian Library at Oxford. During the recent repairs the crypt of the Carlovingian kings was brought to light, surrounded by portions of the Abbe Segur's construction, including the monuments, pavement, and chapels in the apsis. The painted windows of these chapels are said to be, with the single exception of those of Notre Dame de Chartres, the only examples that France possesses of the 12th century; and the composition of the subjects, and the harmony of the colours, are con sidered far superior to anything executed in the succeeding period. The present Emperor determined to make St. Denis the burial. place of his dynasty ; the choir and transept have been restored to their original state, the foundations have been underpinned, the floors have been reduced to the ancient level, after having been most capriciously altered, no one seems to know why, and shortly the tombs of the kings will be all re-established. The Napoleon Mausoleum has been excavated under the nave and immediately west of the Carlovingian crypt, in which are placed the remains of Louis XVI., Marie Antoinette the Duke de Berry, on of his children, the aunt of Louis XVI., the Prince de Conde, and Louis XVIII. The resting place of the new dynasty is not very large, but it is divided into a main body and two side aisles formed by solid monolithic pillars supporting the vaultings of the roof ; at the eastern end of the central aisle is a small altar, or rather the place for it, which will be illuminated by a floor-light placed in the rear of the greaaltar in the choir. The entrance to the Mausoleum will IA closed with large flag-stones. In making the excavations for this new crypt a number of stone tombs of the Merovingian period were discovered, but they contained, it is said, nothing of any interest; a few amber beads, the remains of other ornaments and of cloth ing, and a little dust, were all that had not perished of the kings or heroes of that remote period. These tombs were all under the floor of the apsis of the Church of Dagobert, of which the extent was quite distinctly traced ; on the walls of the basiment were found some remnants of coarse paint ing, representing drapery. The edifice built by Dagobert was constructed entirely out of the materials of the pre vious Gallo .Roman Basilica, so that the present cathedral includes the vestiges of five successive edifices—one of the third or fourth century, that of Dagobert, of Charlemagne, of the Abbe Segur, and of Saint Louis. The facade of the church is in a very bad condition, and it is not considered safe to re-erect the spire which used to crown the northern tower ; a plan for the complete re storation of the whole of this portion of the building is now under consideration; the project is to build two towers to flank the grand entrance, which is to be pierced with three doors, richly decorated with sculpture, and se parated by two prominent socles supporting four equestrian statues, in memory of those sovereigns who retired from the cares of power to the silence and solitude of the cloisters of the Abbey of Saint Denis. The most remarkable edifice now under the hands of Pa risian workmen is the new Russian church, which is being erected in the Rue de la Croix, near the park of Monceaux. This novel structure is in the style of the Kremlin— namely, semi-Byzantine and semi-Tartar. It consists of five towers grouped together, that in the centre being much higher than the other four. Each of the towers is crowned with the well-known pointed dome or rather bulb of copper gilt, surmounted by a cross also gilt, and from which depend chains to correspond. The door in the northern facade is under a bold porch with four pillars and a hemispherical dome, and approached by 12 handsome steps. Over the porch is the pediment of the door, and in
