THURSDAY. The full text of M. Devienne's long-looked-for report is new in the hands of Parisians; audit is everywhere conned with the greatest avidity. The ingenuity with which the [tamer'of the report has avoided the pitfalls that awaited him, and has endeavonred to effect at least a nominal and external agreement between very discordant and contra dictory elements and principles, is worthy of admiration. In one notable instance M. Devienne found the task too hard for hint. He has simply contented himself with stating the two counter propositions, " the Ministers depend only on the Emperor," and "the Ministers are responsible to the Chamber," without attempting to reconcile them. There is no change, he says, in what relates to the sovereign: The only change is in the collective and political responsibility of Ministers. This is the only innovatioM 111. Devieune, however, expects this responsibility to be something more than an empty form. The opposition in the Corps Lelgislatif may, he admits, overthrow the Ministry, whose policy displeases it, on the condition of being able to substitute another, and take its own turn in office. This he holds to be a necessary consequence of the concession of Ministerial responsibility. With regard to the attributes of the Senate itself, M. Devienne is inclined to be a little less liberal. He defends their . retention of the power of veto, though he believed it should be very rarely used, and only when the Corps Leigislatif has temporarily misinter preted public opinion. However seldom used, .be thinks the possession of the power would give the Senate a moral authority and influence which would strengthen its position as a moderator. :The paragraph which the commission has added to Article 5 has no doubt considerably modified the evil effects of the veto, since the Lower Chamber will be able to introduce in the next session the law whose promulgation Las been vetoed by the Senate ; and the French Liberals are consoling themselves by the example of the House of Lords, who seldom refuse to recognise the popular wishes. There is one point, however, which is very unsatis factory, and I am glad to see that the Constitutionnet of this morning takes it up vigorously. The Senate persists in retaining the right of modifying the Constitution, without the concurrence of the Corps Li,gislatif and the ratification of the country. The Cons stitutionect Oeclares this to be, in fact, an equivalent for the famouS Article 14 of the Charter of the Restoration, mid believes its retention will involve great risks. The Seeate will have the power during the recess of the Lower Chamber to propose and vote setions constitutional changes without the nation or its representatives being able to express an opinion. M. Devienne devotes some space to the amendment of M. Lenjean, and answers his argument for the election of a part of the eenators. His objections, as you may suppose, are not very logical, and he dwells upon the contrast tvbich should exist between the two Chambers - as the re presentstives of progress and of conservatism. What is • the use, he asks, of having two if the two elements of activity and stability are to exist in the same? Would the reformers like to see half the depu ties nominated for life by way of modifying the Corps Lsesslatif ? The troutlesonae Article 11 has been disposed of by a eels:premise. You \rill remember that the point at issue was whether the relations between the . Emperor and the great powers of the State should be regulated by 'an imperial decree, or by a Senatus-Consul tum. These relations, M. Devienne remarks, are two fold. There are the material relations and matters of detail, and the foundation of those relations which affect the Constitutional position of the powers. After a long discussion, which, as we know, seriously impeded the progress of the Commission, it was resolved that all _matters relating to the material and minor relations of the great powers should be settled by Imperial decree, Let that in all matters which affect the Constitution these relations must •be decided by a Senates Consultum. M. Devienne's report was listened to throughout with deep attention, as it deserved to be, for it is undoubtedly a work of great ability. The Senate will reassemble on Wednesday next for the opening of the debate. If we are to accept M. de Char din as the crgan of the Liberalr, the report will not aatirly thorn. Fr:o2(e, he says, mu:t now choose, not Ictween the Empire and Li!), I ty, but between thel:mpice and Revolution, and thedecislon will rest with the Alinisterp,„ who hold oiilee when the Constitutional changes are completed. i f they are e ! nai to their task it is all over with the Revolution; if thus are not equal to it, it is ell over With the Empire. M. Emile 011ivier, whose address to the Conseil General of Var is published this morning, is far more sanguine. He rejoices over the wise concessions of the Emperor, and declares that the " irreconcileahles" have forfeited confi dence by their very name. It rests with Frenchmen themselves to remove the mortifying distinctions between France and England, and he exhorts his associates to seek neither display nor preponderance, but the welfare of their country. The Emperor's health continues to improve, lie pre• sided yesterday at the Council of Ministers. For some days past he has been able to go on foot in the Park of St. Cloud. It may, therefore, be considered that all anxiety, at least for the present, is at an end, and that his Majesty will shortly resume his old habits. The Empress and the Tintcrial Prince appear to be making a most successfu l tour, and are everywhere received with enthusiasm. At an early hour on Wednesday, the Empress and the Prince went without escort to the Hospital of St. Eugenie. The Empress contributed a large sum to this establishment, and takes a great interest in its success. Her Majesty's visit was quite a fete day in the neighbourhood, and khe has the satisfaction of seeing that the hospital was most admirably conducted in every particular. A Spanish journal gives a touching account of the visit of the wife of the Carlist chief, Palo, to the Regent of Spain. She begged that an amnesty might be accorded to him, but the Regent declared that he could give no definite assurance in this respect, though he spoko in hopeful terms. It is said that M. do 33eust is expected at Marienbad, where he will meet with M. de Thile, who has been there some days. It is possible that these statesmen may find it easier to come to terms at a personal interview than they did when carrying on communication by letters and despatches. A terrible accident took place in the coal mine of Firming on Tuesday. The cause was firedamp, and twelve persons were taken out dead. Nine are not expected to survive, and it is feared that other persons are missing. The Emil says that many people persist in saying that Ledru Rollin is incognito at Paris, and remarks thereupon that Ledru Rollin has no occasion to hide, and that whet he returns he will let his friends know in good time. Pius IX. remembering that it was Marshal Niel, at he time Colonel, who brought him in 1849, the keys of Rome at Gaeta, hastened, on hearing of that officer's death, to celebrate a low mass for the repose of his soul. The death is announced of Sir William Henry Roger Palmer, the fourth baronet. He was born in 1832. He is succeeded •by his son, Roger William Henry Palmer, Lieut.-Colonel of the 2d Life Guards, who served with considerable distinction in the Crimea. The new baronet was ➢i.P. for Mayo from 1857 to 1865. Flint Jack, the noted forger of antiquities, who, after a year's incarceration iu Bedford jail, had returned to his old haunts in Yorkshire, is again in prison at Northal lerton. Ho was employed to clean a fossil at Whitby, which he did, but sold it for Is. Ho told the bench he was "super annuated with drink" when he did the act. Ho was sent to hard labour for six weeks. At the Manchester Chamber of Commerce meeting on Wednesday, a discussion on the agitation which appears to be going on adverse to the operations of free-trade was occa sioned by the receipt of a pamphlet speech of Mr. Staveley Hill, M.P., and it was resolved as the best antidote to the protectionist movement to reprint and circulate the speech of Mr. Bright in reply. A dreadful misfortune has just occurred at Ulm. A society of Catholic workman had arranged to have a party on the Danube. They went in three boats which were overcrowded, and came in contact with part of a twill that was on the shore, and were dashed to pieces. Twelve bodies have been found, but there are thirty persons missing who are supposed to be drowned. • At the Norwich Election Commission the " Trum pet" group of bribery cases is not yet exhausted. Further evidence has been given yesterday as to the bribery proceed ings of a man named Hunt at that tavern. Hunt himself is expected to be examined. At Beverley further evidence has been given yester daY of bribery at borough elections ten years ago and since. In 1865 the voters say they were paid on behalf of Mr. Keane, the Liberal candidate, a pound by an Unser person and anotherpound by a stranger. There is alsofurther evidence that the payments at last municipal election were intenied to influence the parliamentary election. Some of the wit nessess are (our correspondent telegraphs) very ollivious i and the Commissioners threatened them with imprisonment. THE GREAT BOAT hACE. OXFORD v. HARVARD. As our University Boat Race is looked upon by all classes, not only as a symbol of our national greatness, but as an annually recurring festival; so is the boat race between the Universities of Har vard and Yale in the United States of America. Equally greeted by our trancatlautic brethren, for America boasts of two as fine universities as the mother country, the one being situate at Yale. in Newhaven, Connecticut, and the other at Harvard, Cambridge City, near Boston, Massachusetts. The constitution of these Universities is identical to that of ours, except that the stu lents generally remain longer. Harvard, after the fashion of Oxford University, has for some years held the wastery over the amateur oarsmen of America, besides which, Harvard has beaten the celebrated Ward Brothers (professionals), and bid fair to long hold its position of pre-eminence among tha oarsmen's clubs of America. It must be acknowledged that in matters apper taining to the oar the Englishman has held an uu deniable superiority over the American, as thole who have come from the States to try their prowess against their countrymen have experienced ; and until very recently—vast changes having taken place in the build of American racing craft—racing was in nothing like so advanced a state, con sistent with the progress the nation had made in civilisation and social intercourse with other nations. The outrigger now used was unknown until introduced a few years ago by a Yorkshire builder. ; improvements have been rapidly made, and we may now safely say that Elliott of Greenpoint, who has been brought to this country as the Har vard boat-builder, can turn as good a four-oared racing boat off the stocks as any of our builders. After the triumph of the New Brunswick crew over our best talent at the Anglo-Parisian Regatta in 1866, and a recent victory over the Yale Col legians, the Harvard gentlemen sent a formal chal lenge to the President of the Oxford University Boat Club, challenging to row au eight-oared race, without a coxswain, a style of rowing in vogue on the other side, which was in use at the Paris Re - gatta aforesaid. This was some months ago, and and was declined on the ground that the Oxonians were not accustomed to this class of rowing. Further negotiations, however, went on, and at length it was determined that the race should be in four-oared boats, with coxswains, from Putney to Mortlake in August; the Oxonians under Mr Tinn6, their President, were soon at work at home in a tub-boat, and did Lot rovire much polish, having formed part of the dark Mae division at the University Boat Race;-and they went into the raci'►g boat at Pang bourne, a fortnight ay, and that they were under the care of Mr. Geo. Morris3n is a sullijent gua r.►ntee of their l regress. Atner:cans htl been in tr.,ining, an I in deed are always kept in coalition, on the Ever Charles, on which thcl city is situate, and nearly six weeks ago err►ba:ked on board the City of Paris • —after being feted in New York to a great degree —part of wh.e4 had been set apart fur their occu pation, so that all kinds of ni tidy exercises rnig'nt is,: gone through oa the ten days' voyage to Liver pool. Five weeks to-day they arrived at Putney, and put up at the Star and Garter, leaving in a few days for a more commodious house nearer their boat-yard, and screened from the all observant Cockneys who Letook themselves to Putney in great numbers to witness the first trial trip of the Yankees on our water ; for some days they were disappointed, and rumours were rite that the Ilarvards did not intend to let the public know what they did, or when they did it, but on Tuesday following they essayed a trip to Hammersmith in a prodigiously long four, built entirely of wood, with out canvass, and galvanized hollow outriggers; they sat her well, and evidently had been well trained, but the style of the rowing altogether was of so ordinary a character that Londoners at once began to lay 3 to lon Oxford. It was soon very palpable that the American style of rowing was not on a par with ours, and the crew talked about sticking to the style, in which they were loudly supported by the backers of Oxford, who fondly Lnagitied, no doubt, that they would be blind to their own defeats and our better style. They were not, however, for Eng lisl► costumes were obtained ; new boats were ordered (five in number) by English makers ; new oars, too; they c Aught our style of rowing very rapidly, and at length, when the Oxonians arrived here a fortnight ago, bade fair to turn out a much finer crew than had been antici pated. Two new oarsmen, Messrs. Fay and Ly man, had just arrived, and they were put into the place of Messrs. Bass and Rice, making up a dif ference for the better, and strengthening the fast growing opinion that they were not at all to be despised. What can we say further of the training of either crew ? Eminently, the Oxford style, and both in their trials displayed great pace and endur ance, so that the odds-3 to 1 on Oxford —were not only unjustified, but absurd to a degree. Sit 11:R LIST.

Others were prohibited from attending the race, and this rule was strictly enforced by Mr. Lord, the Conservancy Surveyor, aided by the Thames Police. (We shall give an account of the race in our Latest Edition.) REGATTAS AND MATCHES TO COME.

Ou comparlug these rates with the English Mint price of WO. per ounce for standard gold, it appe.tes that gold at the above price is the same in Loudon and Paris. The counie of exchange at New York on Loudon for bills at 61 days' sight was ou the lGth iast. 1091, per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. Race Glasses, byVoigtlander, are now BO longer the ox. elusive luxury of the rich. since the great demand fur photographic lenses has di m i n i s h e d , an opportunity hAs been afforded for applying mechanical power with the greatest success, whereby the cost of those beautiful stud most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the best French or English make' 3. At the depot Callaghan, 23A, New Bond-street, corner ,1 Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge their tasto in the possession of a veritable Voigtlauder comparatively trifling cost. It is superfluous to say WI quality is as ever matchless.
