We would not give much for the length of its duration, how ever, whatever is prognosticated of it, because there are so many incou gnious elements at work, and affairs have proceed e d so far that it seems almost to adjust them in a permanent fashion. The pro posals of Herr Von BismAßcK e respe ting Federal Reform -ate very inge n i ous, and displays- of that skill and savoir f wre which have • much long distinguished that statesm an . Whether he succeed or not in carrying out his plan eventually it is sure to a nswer his p ur p ose for a time, and both divert attention from his failures and make a show of his interest for the welfare of Germany collec tively, and his zeal in the common cause of Father land. His proposals are rather complicated, but they will be less popular for that in an assemblage of States and Principalities that deal so largely i n mysticism and manoeuvres. A common Parlia ment, on the basis of universal suffrage, is proposed, and a common Executive, in which more power will be given to Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, and the rest of the middle States, and less to the petty ones. A curious in stance of Herr BISMARCK'S cunning is observable in the manner in which he has arranged the auxiliary part of the b us i ness . A us t r i a i s to have no perma nent auxiliaries, but will be satisfied, it is hoped, with some kind of a guarantee. The Vienna Go- vernment will not have profited much by all they have passed through lately if they rely much on " guarantees." Meanwhile Prussia is to have the Northern States and Bavaria the Southern ones for allies. It is very evident that will be a great stumbling-block in the way of coming to a settlement. In the event of a war, Prussia can easily persuade or intimidate Bavaria, and thus all the chief strength would be against Austria. In point of fact, we may conclude that the plan will be defeated in consequence of this audacious pro posal. It is supposed, however, that much time will be some in the discussion of this plan, and that some will gladly seize its introduction as a pretext for putting off the evil day of hostilities between Prussia and Austria. If so, it may be an advan tage in the long run, as during the time occupied in its consideration events may occur that will necessitate the retirement of Herr BISMARCK, and give a new turn to Prussian politics. Count BIs3IARCK may make another of his mis takes in thinking this ready acquiescence to con sider his scheme means that a favourable interpre tation will be put upon it, but at the same time he may only wish to gain time, in order that chances may turn in his favour, and that he may at any rate retire with dignity. He has several times during the last seven days tendered his resignation, but the KING would not accept it. He may not, however, continue his objections to the proposal much longer, and perhaps is waiting to find out the measure in which the Diet will receive the grand scheme of Federal Reform. Of course it would be a vast advantage if HerrßismAncK retired; but at thO same time we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that all the sin does not lie at his door, and that in reality he has been more the agent, the dishonour able and unscrupulous agent, it is true, than the chief party in all. these plans of spoliation that have disgraced Prussia and scandalised Europe of late. Had not the KING sanctioned such a course it is certain that a stop would speedily have been put to the nefarious practices. It is greatly to be re gretted that so crafty and dexterous a Minister should have been chosen by a SOVEREIGN so indiffe rent to the rights of his people and the claims of his allies, as the KING has shown himself to be ; but it stands to reason that if he be removed the KING would not agree to the policy of a Liberal Cabinet. The proposal of a European Congress may per haps be carried out ; and, if so, will prove the most effectual check both to the KING and his Minister. The Emperor of AUSTRIA has shown dis cernment in mentioning to the French EMPEROR hat he will not object to a Congress deciding upon the vexed question of the Duchies. would, in truth, be a power before which the pre tensions of the Minister and the pertinacity of the Monarch of Berlin must succumb, and it may, perhaps, be the best way of settling the matter, now that it has gone so far. We have yet cause to regret that Louis NAPOLEON'S idea of a European Congress some time ago was not carried out, because Prussia could never have gained such ascendancy as she now unhappily does, and Denmark would not have been so shamefully despoiled. The preparations for war are not abated, so that it is really quite impossible to de cide as to the probability of what may or may not take place at any time. In Paris it is a theme of constant interest to watch the course of events, and naturally great anxiety is felt in return to know what the French would do in case of war ; breaking out. The Prus sians are trying to console themselves by the - _ thought that the Emperor LOUIS NAPOLEON will keep neutral, but such is not likely to be the case ; and indeed we see uo reason why it should be, be cause the French would rejoice at the prospect of regaining possession of their long-desired territory. Time was when such a reclamation would not have been popular in Europe, and especially in England; but so great has been the indignation felt by many at the rapacity and greed of Prussia that no sympathy will be felt for her. The un reasonable compact into which Italy has en tered will give the French EMPEROR another pretext for interference, there being no just cause to prevent France from taking part in a struggle in which other parties have engaged who are not directly or immediately concerned in its issue. It is strange, indeed, that we should now be nearer a general war than we were two years ago ; but it is the best satire on the policy of expediency that was adopted and the dishonourable course pursued by this country in order to further the designs of Prussia. The independent public, especially such portion of them as are ratepayers, are beginning to take active measures respecting the treatment of the sick poor. Every householder has some time or other grumbled at the rates, and unless he inhabited some of the highly-favoured West-end parishes has complained of their unequal pressure; but it is somewhat startling to find that after all his pay ments the sick paupers suffer from absolute neglect, if not from actual ill treatment. For many years past the Workhouse Visiting Society has been la bouring to call public attention to the important difference between the able-bodied vagrant or thriftless idlers, whose own vices or indolence have reduced them to pauperism, and the hap less man or woman whom the iron hand of dis ease has, perforce, restrained from labour. If any one will picture to themselves the amount of exertion which a person suffering from acute dis ease, or even chronic maladies, is capable of un dergoing, they will very soon ascertain what chance such an invalid would have of getting a livelihood out of doors. Sometimes husband or wife, son or daughter, may be able to support them, but the burden of a helpl ess i nva lid i s a h eavy one on s l en d er wages, especially if the breadwinner has also to be sick nurse. Very often, too, the disease abso lutely requires medicines and appliances which are hopelessly out of reach, and if the sufferer has only him or herself to look to there is no other resource than the infirmary of the work house. To this refuge come the broken-down servant, the widow and orphan, the strong an smitten down in the midst of his labour, the aged man and woman who have supported themselves during a long life of work and privation, the struggling tradesman, the broken-down rate payer—all enter those doors; over which might well be inscribed DANTE'S famous motto about leaving hope behind. What hope is there for the weary, suffering frame, tossing on those hard narrow beds (from which careful guardians in one house extract half the stuffing), tended by rough, ignorant hands, who know nothing of sickness but the name, and take the charge of a ward full of helpless invalids for the sake of a few perquisites, with the benefit rate getting minutetheg ri and t a half a day, and the chance of pleasure of seeing ther w nurse on take e t d h i e c i n w e i s n , e a nd or beer ordered ? These thing s have been reiterated con stantly, and have atlast aroused popular indignation against the cumbrous and costly system productive of such miserable results. The cases of TIMOTHY DALY and RICHARD GIBSON excited the greatest attention, and left an uncomfortabl e conviction in the public mind that they were by no means isolated instances. Very recently the case o" laying out a This THE SON, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 19, 1866. living child for dead in the ward of the St. Pancras Workhouse has shown what care the most helpless class of sufferers receive at the hands of the official attendants, and we are glad to find that the general feelings of horror and indignation excited by that case have just found adequate expression. Miss BURDETT COUTTS, as a ratepayer of St. Pancras, has addressed a letter to the guardians, in which she dwells, simply but forcibly, on the evils of the present system. She is aware, she says, that their pcsition between the ratepayers on the one hand and the recipients of relief on the other is a difficult one, but it appears to her (and to most unprejudiced observers) that they have unduly favoured the former class. With sound sense, as well as kindly feeling, she points out to them that, putting aside all considerations of duty and humanity, " a sick pauper is a costly burden on the rates, and that a more liberal workhouse management would prevent the crowding of infirmary wards, while a wise administration of out-door relief would save many poor persons in temporary need from sinking down to confirmed, and therefore burdensome, pauperism." The truth of this is indisputable, and yet when the father or mother of a family is temporarily disabled, the answer to any appli cation for assistance is constantly " Come into the house." In nine cases out of ten the alternative of going without help is chosen, the family preferring to depend on charity or " rough it" until better times. But supposing they do go in, breaking up their little home and losing their connexion, if they have one, what chance is there that they will all come out again ? If they postpone the evil day until the sick person is past all chance of recovery the case is still worse, and if our old Poor-law system was wasteful and demoralising, the new one is not entirely free from those vices, for by its short-sighted parsimony it pauperises many who might keep themselves, and, by Withholding its help at the crisis, leaves many a family to break down and come upon the rates for life. With respect to the management of the sick wards Miss Covrrs says that, before addressing the Guardians, she has watched for some public state ment of the measures which they propose to adopt to cure the evils complained of, but has seen none. As a ratepayer she feels the position very strongly. " The law compels me to pay a rate for the benefit of the poor, but in its administration the law not merely fails to secure the object of the rate, but exposes the recipient of parochial re lief, according to the evidence before the coroner, to being " laid out" before death, when ever the nurses or matron may choose to think the victim of their neglect cannot " last long," or is " nearly gone." In another place, she says re ferring to the same case, " Such a hideous instance of callousness makes those shudder who feel that they are forced by law to pay a rate which places t'ne sick in similar hands." Against such a system of administration, which actually exposes paupers to the danger of being buried alive, she feels bound to enter a protest not only on her" own behalf, but on account of that large body of struggling rate payers on whom the rates press heavily, andwho are unjustly treated when their hard-earned money is not strictly applied to the paupers for whom they pay ; " and if, through misfortune, they or their families are obliged to seek shelter within the work house they have previously been rated to support,. they should not, at lea2t, find within its walls a living grave." It is to be hoped that this just and indignant protest may induce the Guardians to believe that all their ratepayers are not satisfied with the mere fact of paying the rates demanded of them, but that they are sensible that there is a serious responsibility attaching to the charge of such an army of sufferers, although the Guardians are troubled with no such feelings. The whole system must be remodelled ; and it can , in fact, not find one defender. The management of the sick must be entirely removed from the local authorities, and a gyneral sick rate levied over the metropolis, which would lighten by equalising the burden, and tend to relieve the miseries, while it diminished the lengthened sufferings of many thousands of our afflicted fellow -creatures. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The papers are more than usually barren to-day, but the following appreciation of the position of affairs in Germany by the Siecle will be read with interest : " The Gazette d'Augsburg is of opinion that Federal Reform in Germany cannot be established unless all the Powers interfere. It therefore , con siders a Congress to assemble immediately to be absolutely necessary. Upon this the Siecle says it can hardly consider that such a course will be adopted. At all events affairs do not assume a very pacific aspect. The military preparations con tinue both in Austria and Prussia, and later accounts confirm the news we have already given of a con centration of Russian troops on the Prussian fron tier." The following is the programme of the extra steeplechases which are to take place to-morrow at La Marche :—Prix de Ville d Avray (handicap), 1,500 f., for all horses ; Prix de Garches (gentlemen riders), 1,000 f., added to a sweepstakes of 50f. each ; Prix h Reclamer, 1,000 f., for all horses. The winner to be claimed for 600 f. Match between the Duke of Hamilton and Count Evry. 49 horses entered. Some interesting facts respecting the commerce of France have been elicited during the discussion in the Legislative Body relative to the merchant nary. M. Emile Pereire said that the subject of the mercantile marine was essentially a question of external commerce. The traffic, which represented 7 milliards, was thus divided :—By sea, 5 milliards 135 millions ; by land, 2 milliards 193 millions. Yes or no, was it important to free from absurd imposts 5 milliards of our traffic ? Was it important to furnish, at a low price, means of transport for the foreign commerce of France ? England was not like France, a con tinental Power. What formed its strength in the past might well be the cause of its weakness in the future. M. Forcade de la Roquette had elo quently said that France was admirably situated for commerce ; yes, but it was on the condition that she should not have her hands tied, and that she should be able to send anywhere her intelligence, her industry, and her capital. Freedom of trade had not led to an inundation of products into France, and French commerce had not been crushed by it. A great king of former times wished that the people every Sunday should have a fowl in the pot. Modern civilisation and universal suffrage had higher ambi tions. They desired that the people both of the towns and country, not only on a Sunday but . b . h o o z u e l n d n b e e , o well h c e l o p t a h r e t d, of NtvheellGfeodv,earnndmwenetll, l e o v d e g ry ed d . a l ' l denied that free trade had produced the depression in some branches to which allusion had been made. The number of foreign vessels trading with French ports had increased. In referring to exports, the speaker said, that in 1859 the value of ostrich fea thers exported was no less than 6,800,000 f. The principle adopted at the Custom House was, that all merchandise which had paid duty by that fact be came naturalised, and became part of the general commerce. Another frightful case of murder and mutilation 'has occurred. The body of a young man has been found in the canal of La Villette which has been almost cut to pieces. The skull has been cut in two with a chopper, and a large incision has also been made in the stomach. The arms have been cut off to the shoulders. The legs have not yet been found. A red cravat was tied tightly round the neck, so that death was, no doubt, produced by strangulation, and the mutilation of the body took place after death. This fearful occurrence has pro duced much excitement in the immediate neighbour hood, but although the police have been closely in vestigating the circumstances, they have not yet been successful in elucidating the mystery with which this occurrence is surrounded. The Pope has made an appeal for a new loan to be issued nominally at 66 per cent. The obliga tions of 500 f. will bear an interest of 25f. per an num. His Holiness, in asking for this loan, says— " This appeal will be understood by all Catholics who have it at heart to prove once more that the Holy Father never iu vain claims their devotedness to him." The Emperor yesterday reviewed in the Court of the Tuileries the First Division of Infantry of the Ist Corps d'Arm6e. His Majesty, accompanied by the Prince Imperial, rode in front of each line, and after the review, which passed off with great eclat, distributed rewards to soldiers of all ranks. As usual the Emperor was received most enthu siastically. The opinion given to-day by the Journal des Debats respecting the position of affairs in Ger many is this—" The news from Germany consists of contradictions and polemics. The question at issue, and the differences between Austria and Prussia open for Germany the prospect of a series of complications and stormy discussions." The reports of the visits of " illustrious foreigners" to Paris are sometimes to be received with caution. I have always doubted the truth of the presence of the Head Centre, Stephens, here, but General Prim, the hero of the late unsuccessful military insurrec tion in Spain, has just arrived, and also M. de Merode, formerly an influential member of the Pontifical Government. His visit, however, is quite unconnected with religion or politics. The celebrated prelate has come from Rome only to be present at the ceremony of taking the veil by his young sister at the Convent of the Sacr6 Coeur. M. de Merode is about to visit Brussels, I am in formed, with some mission connected with the legi timate support of Roman Catholic influence in Belgium. Again we have had a summer day, although i was rather cold early in the morning. From the Owl. While the-telegrams grow fiercer, our information from the best quarters in Germany assumes a more re-assuring character. We are informed that war, however apparently imminent, becomes daily more difficult to bring about, for while Count Bismarck is . the only man in Prussia who wishes it—and he by the way has the gout, and, as the joke goes, can't march—on the other hand the Austrians are hourly more and more resolved not to fight, and are pressing upon the Prussian Government over tures for simultaneous disarmament., This measure is also warmly advocated by the minor States, and of course this policy is strongly urged by the repre sentatives of the Great Powers. Whether the mis chievous fatuity of one man can nevertheless preci pitate a collision and bring about what is really a civil war remains to be seen. We are in a position to state that the Great Powers have declined to countenance the totally illegal election of Prince Charles of Hohenzollern as Hospodar of A.loldo-Wallachia. The Conference of Paris have fowarded to the Provisional Govern ment their urgent advice to keep strictly within the limit of the treaties which determine the status of the Principalities, and have pointed out to it how completely the election of a foreign prince would violate the spirit and text of those acts which have been framed with strict regard to the assurance of the integrity of the Ottoman empire. We have reason to believe that the llon. Arthur Gordon, at present Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick, is to succeed Mr. Manners-Sutton as Governor of Trinidad. It is not yet decided whether any successor of Mr. Gordon will be nominated, the approaching federation of the North American pro vinces making such an appointment unnecessary. The Rev. 11. G. Alington, master of Marlborough College, has been appointed one of her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools. Mr. Alington obtained an open Demyship at Magdalen College, Oxford ; First Class in Moderations ; and a Second Class in the Final School in 1859. We are assured, on authority which is incontest able, that it is again sought to introduce arms into Servia and Montenegro. No less than 40,000 mus kets have been forwarded to Semlin to be smuggled into the Turkish provinces. Russian agents are at work spreading disaffection wherever they can in the Danubian States. These facts, together with the dangerous condition of the Danubian Principa lities, render the aspect of affairs in Turkey in Europe extremely critical ; and, unless the dangers which menace the peace of the Ottoman empire are met firmly, and suppressed immediately, we shall have the great Eastern question reopened to add a new chapter of discord and war to the history of Europe. MICROSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPHS.—Has any one among our readers ever seen these wonderful little photo graphs? If not, they are really worth hunting up and looking into—fOr they are beyond any doubt of it among the most extraordinary achievements resulting from the application of optical science to the development of the chemical marvels of photography. Fancy a minute rod of glass, flattened at one end (so that you could stand it up on a level surface) and rounded off at the other end into a convex extremity—fancy this little atom of a glass rod, so short, so small altogether, that you can barely hold it between finger and thumb without a fear of dropping it! And yet—thus holding it between finger and thumb—if on bringing the convex end of it close to the eye you look through it lengthways you will see there, quite distinctly, magnified by the convexity of the glass, a picture, or what not, nay, sometimes even a group of pictures, or a whole page of printed matter, the original or germ of which (imbedded in the very substance of the glass) is the merest dot or atom of a micro scopic photograph ! Two products of this really astonishing contrivance we have just now very care fully examined—one revealing a cluster of photo graphic likenesses of the Royal Family, very prettily grouped together—the Queen, the late Prince Con sort, the Prince of Wales and, the rest of their royal Highnesses—the other (as clearly readable as the printed words of this present paragraph) " The Lord's Prayer !" Conceive to yourself, for a mo ment, the marvel of a little minute atom, or dot, of a photographic picture —a tiny dot of about the diameter of a Pin-prick —turning out to contain within it a w h o l e gallery of por traits of the Royal Family, or, more wonderful still, that microcosm of devot i on , that prayer of prayers, the "Pater Noster." It is only fair to add that the manufacturer of these astonishing little Photographs (he calls himself, we observe, the Sole Manufacturer of them in England) is Mr. Frank Stanley, of 61, Snow-hill, and of 4, Devonshire street, Oxford-road, Manchester. LIFEBOAT SERVICE.—MARYPORT, C UMBERLAND, April 17.—This morning intelligence was brought that a schooner was ashore on Dub Mill Scar, about eight mil,2s E.N.E. of this place, with a flag of distress flying (says Mr. H. Lindsay, Collector of Customs). It was blowing a strong gale at the time from W.S.W. The life boat of the National Lifeboat Institution was at once launched, and went away through the heavy surf under canvass, in the direction of the wreck, which was reached in about an hour. The lifeboat's anchor was .then let go and she dropped down alongside the vessel, which was then afloat. Finding the master ignorant of his where abouts, the coxswain and four of the lifeboat's crew went on board. One of the crew was in the rigging, and the sea was making a complete breach over the ship. Shortly afterwards ono of the cables broke, when the coxswain slipped the other one and ran the schooner into Silloth, thus saving both life and property. The lifeboat was taken back to her station in tow of a steam tug which had come out to the vessel. The schooner was the Treaty, of Goole, bound from Newcastle, Ireland, to London, with a cargo of granite. This is the first service performed by this life boat, which has only recently been placed by the National Lifeboat Institution on this station, through the munifi cence of Mr. H. Nixson, of Manchester. The boat is re ported to have behaved admirably in the surf and better than the crew ever anticipated. LATEST INTELLIGEDTOE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) P RUSSIA. BERLIN, APRIL 19. A meeting of the electors of the first electoral district of Berlin was held here yesterday, when the following resolution, supported by several of the Prussian Deputies, was adopted : " That a war for the annexation of the Duchies was unjustifiable, and that the Federal Diet was as little competent as Count Bismaick to guard the interests of Germany and to ward off danger. Only a Prussian Government possessing the confi dence of the people would be strong enough to solve both the question of the Duchies and also that of a reform of the Federal Constitution." Pcpular meetings have been held both at Duren and Treves, at which the same feeling of opposition ,o the war was expressed. SPAIN. THE NEW NATIONAL BANK. BARCELONA, APRIL 19.

The writer, M. Adrien Marx, having written to the Emperor explaining his position on the public press, and asking permission to visit his Impeiird Highness's apartments at the Tuileries, received immediately an answer from his Majesty's private secretary, stating that there was no objec tion to according the favour requested. Accord ingly the writer went at the hour appointed, and while waiting for the return of the Prince, Who was taking his gymnastic lesson, had some conver sation with Miss Shaw, the English lady attached to his Imperial Highness's service since his birth. M. Marx afterwards being left in the Prince's apart ._ _ ment, made the observations thus described : " What most struck me was a small bookcase con taining the works used for the Prince's studies. I expected to find dictionaries splendidly bound and grammars with gilt edges. Great was my surprise to find on the shelves—close to a pair of globes—a collection of classical works dog's-eared and worn. Despite myself I thought of the old books tied up with a leathern strap and swung over the shoulder by the scholars as they left the Colleges. If a rapid observation has not deceived me, I can state that the works written by M. Duruy predominated in the series put into the hands of his Imperial Highness. The writing table, low and full of drawers, was of mahogany, its top covered with skin and furnished with a common porcelain ink stand, with pens and rulers of a democratic appear ance. On either side were two busts in gold and two miniatures of their Majesties painted in ivory ; and in front of these family pictures a paper weight, the marble base of which supports a figure of Napoleon I. astride a chair in the traditionary position. This figure, admirably executed, is carved from one single block of ivory. Be fore leaving this part of the room I noticed two chairs in front of the table. The low one was for the tutor, and the other for his Highness. The seat of the master's was intact, while that of the, pupil's was slightly deteriorated. The straw bottom was ragged at the edges and the front rungs were worn by the feet. The calmness of the instructor and the petulance of the pupil are equally true in all stages of the social scale." M. Marx describes in the subjoined passages the mode of education adopted :—" M. ‘Monnier more particularly in structs his august pupil during the walks which they take together. The studies at home at the desk are but a small portion of the sum total of the instruc tion which he imparts, and the most profitable les sons are those given during those quasi-peripatetic lectures. In a word, for instance, he would ex plain how it is that the lungs feel more at ease in the middle of a full supply of oxygen, and point out different plants, giving them their Greek or Latin names. If the Prince raised his eyes towards nightfall the conversation might turn on the stars ; so of natural history, geology, chemistry, and mathematics. This system is proved to be excel lent by the fact that, although the Prince is only 10 years old, there is not any science upon which he has not already considerable information. History is of all branches of instruction that which most at tracts him. All the phenomena of natural science also greatly interest him, and he never tires of con versing on them. Next to his inclination for his tory the predominant traits of his mind are inves tigation and observation. He possesses unusual in telligence, and I can relate an instance in proof. M. Monnier told me that the same morning he related to the Prince the legend of Cadmus. The child lis tened attentively to the history of the Phoenician hero founding a city in Boe9tia, killing the dragon which guarded the fountain, and giving birth, by sowing the teeth of the monster, to warriors who speedily slaughtered each other. Cadmus,' said the Prince, is civilisation. The dragon is barbarism preventing approach to the fountain, which is light. The triumph of Cadmus is that of civilisation, and the springing up of soldiers who massacre each other is civil war or the agitation of the factious mob who can never be extirpated from a State.' To these proofs of precocity the prince joins a pronounced taste for the arts ; he draws and paints without masters, models in clay without having taken any lessons, and repeats with a finger on the piano the airs which his ear retains. I was doubtless about to learn some new prodigy of his encyclopaedic apti tude, when Miss Shaw opened the door and said to me, Monsieur, I have begged Monseigneur to sign one of his drawings for you, and he replied that he would draw one specially for you. He has nearly finished it, and see! here he comes, bringing it him- WAYS. Cash. self.' At the same moment the Prince entered and handed me, still wet, the sketch which appeared at the head of this day's Evenement.' (This little pre sent thus so graciously given was a pen-and-ink sketch, very dashingly executed, representing a young man sitting under a tree playing a flute, and near him, on the ground, a dog lying asreep. A huge oak is in the centre of the sketch, and all along to the right glades of forest scenery.) After I had expressed my thanks, his highness spoke to me of his taste for the annals of empires in general, and those of his own country in particular. He took me afterwards to the bust of his tutor, which he had modelled with his own hands after a few sittings given to M. Carpeaux, from whom had been ordered a statue of the Prince. While the artist copied the model the latter observed how the other proceeded, and then tried to do the same. This statuette of M. Monnier is exceedingly curious. Although roughly executed it is a striking likeness, and if his highness were not the Prince Imperial I would re commend him to exhibit it, for he would certainly obtain an honourable mention. I took the liberty to felicitate his highness on his taste for the fine arts, and was delighted to find he had no penchant for newspaper writing. As to the features of the Prince, photography has spread everywhere his affable traits ; but it cannot render his fine clear look, his interesting physiognomy, and the exqui site distinction of his whole appearance. In two or three years the Prince will be the living portrait of his mother, whose profile he already possesses. This anticipation certainly has nothing alarming." —Galignani's Messenger. GENERAL LEE'S EVIDENCE. The Times says--A remarkable impression has been created in America by the evidence of General Lee before the Reconstruction Committee of Congress. That committee is now conducting an inquiry into the state of feeling in the South with direct refe rence to the policy of re-union advocated by Presi dent Johnson. It seems to have been anticipated in the committee, which is decidedly opposed to the views of the President, that General Lee must necessarily make such admissions with respect to opinion in Virginia as would justify the policy of exclusion advocated by the Radical party, and much satisfaction has been expressed at the manner in which these attempts were defeated by the Gene ral's replies. There are, however, two sides, to the picture thus displayed. We can observe not only what, according to Gen. Lee's - estimate, is the feel ing of the South, but also the spirit in which this opposition to the President's policy is conducted by the Radical Republicans. All these quarrels, it should be understood, which are reported to us by successive mails, turn upon the same great question. There is a complete unity in the drama. President Johnson wishes to reconstruct the American Union by re-admitting the Southern States to political representation on reasonable terms ; his opponents desire to keep them excluded by imposing unacseptable conditions of agreement These conditions, twice embodied in acts of Con gress, Mr. Johnson has twice condemned by his Presidential Veto, and thus brought the dispute to open war. What he himself desires to accomplish is well known ; what his opponents profess to ex pect before they can accept his policy we can gather from the recent examination of General Lee. The General promptly testified to the complete defeat of the South, and the practical submission of the country ; but this, though it might appear suffi cient for all reasonable objects, was not enough for the members of the committee. They pushed their inquiries a great deal further. It had been stated that the people of Virginia " acquiesced in the Government of the United States," and con- tetnplated no resistance or opposition to it. Bu General Lee was then asked how they felt towards that portion of the North " whichhad been forward and zealous in the prosecution of the war against the rebellion," and whether they would not ob ject, for instance, to New Englanders as acquaint-. ances and companions. After he had asserted that his countrymen were prepared to pay all taxes imposed upon them, and had no disposition to repudiate any just debt, he was asked whether they would pay their share of the debt contracted in con quering them " with as much alacrity as people ordi narily pay their taxes to their Government." He had expressed his-la-did that the Virginians would per form all the duties required of them as citizens; but this was not enough, for he was forthwith pressed to state whether in his opinion , a Virginian jury, taken at hazard inVirginia,would convict Jeff. Davis of treason. On the great question of present opinion, General Lee affirmed, without hesitation, that not a man in the South, as far as he knew or believed, entertained the slightest idea of recommencing insur rection or renewing strife ; but this did not satisfy the committee. The General was actually requested to say not only whether the South might not at some future time avail itself of a foreign war to re-assert -its claims, but whether, in the event of a right of secession being recognised by a future President of the United States, andallowed by a future Congress, the States lately in insurrection might not embrace that opportunity of legal separation from the others. It would be superfluous to expatiate on the spirit and temper revealed by such inquiries as these. If the South is not to be re-admitted into the Union until questions of this kind can be answered to the satisfaction of the Radical party, it is manifest that the Union will never be reconstructed at all. The utmost that can reasonably be expected from a people situated like the Virginians is such a poli tical conformity as General Lee declared to exist. It is barely twelve months since these men were en gaged in one of the most des p erate wars of modern times—a war fought out to " the bitter end" with every circumstance. of passion and fury. To expect that they should now look with positive affection on their conquerors, condemn their most eminent countrymen as traitors, and repudiate as abominable the principles for which they sacrificed their for tunes and staked their lives is beyond all reason. It is enough if they know themselves beaten, if they accept the results without reserve, if they cherish no idea of deferred rebellion, and if they are prepared to return to their former position with a resolution to perform all their duties as citizens, and with a readiness to receive the warmer impressions which time and intercourse may bring. These are actually the feelings with which General Lee describes them as now animated. More, it must be evident, could not be expected, but if more be desired it is manifest that the result can only be secured by that very policy which the President has avowed, and which the Radicals are so fanatically oppoiing. If some thing is still to be done—as nobody need deny— before a Virginian can look upon the Union as he looked 10 years ago, it can only be accomplished, as General Lee affirmed, by liberal and conciliatory conduct on the part of the Government. If passive acquiescence is to be converted into cordial sym pathy, it must be by kind and generous treatment. The policy of the Radicals , is stultified by their own professions. They pretend to desire a more sympa thising South than they have already got, and then, in order to improve Southern feeling, they propose to inflict political disgrace and humiliation on the Southern people. They pronounce them to be still disaffected, or not sufficiently well affected, and, by way of conciliating them, NN ould condemn them to alienation and outlawry. Such a policy stands self convicted, for its only result must be to make bad worse. ETON COLLEGE.—The Easter vacation termi nated yesterday with the return of the lower boys. The fifth form return to-day and the sixth to-morrow, when the whole of the scholars will have assembled. YY SUPERHEATED STEAM.—The tremendous effects of a small quantity of water turned suddenly into superheated steam have long ago been remarked upon. It was not, however, until recently that an attempt wasmade to utilise this extraordinary power. Mr. E. Danford, of Illinois, United States, has, it is said, succeeded in mak ing a powerful machine, of which this is the motive power. The principle may be illustrated by recalling the circum stance of a foundry roof having been blown away some years ago in the north of England, in consequence of a hollow ball of metal into which a small quantity of water had made its way having been thrown into a furnace. Mr. Danford suspends the - ball, which ho calls a steam generator, in a furnace, and procures the steam to work his engine by intermittent jets of water into the interior of the ball.— Canadian paper. -- 40 (01134 HER MAJESTY• - -47,6- OSBORNE.

REPRESENTATION OF CAMBRIDGE.—There are now two candidates in the field for Cambridge—C °l ' Torrens, late candidate on the Liberal side, who has again - offered himself in, of course, the same interest; and, as pre viously stated, Mr. John Eldon Gorst on the Conservative side. The addresses of both candidates were issued yds terday. Both, of course, include the usual conventionali" ties and localisms. With regard to general matters gr. Gorst says : "I am opposed to lowering the franchise, not from fear of the working class, but because neither that or any other class should have any undue preponderance in the country. I shall resist all attempts to destroy or weaken our National Church under the plea of promotiug religious liberty. In foreign affairs we should not meddi° in quarrels which do not concern ourselves ; we ought at the same time to refrain from raising expectation of material aid which we are not prepared to grant. It is true economy to maintain our national defences in 11 state of efficiency." Colonel Torrens remarks in reference to the Reform Bill—" I fully believe that when the severe portions of this great measure are laid before the public they will be recognised as constituting a safe and we ll " balanced readjustment of the Commons' House of Parlia ment. I have full confidence in the good faith of the Pr e ; sent Government, and in the pledges which Earl R ussel' has so distinctly given, that the several portions of this measure will be brought forward as speedily as is consistent with that careful and deliberate consideration which the scope of the subject and the all-important interests a.t, stake alike demand." He proposes to support t he bill, 11 elected. The nomination has been fixed for Monday, a nd the polling, if challenged, for Tuesday next. REPRESENTATION OF HELSTON.—Major Grylls, who contested this borough at the last general election, will become a candidate in the room of Mr. A. W. Y° lll4s ' who has been unseated.

LIBERAL . CONSERVATIVE CLUB.—We hear that the Liberal-Conservative party are organising a new club, to be called the Clarendon, with the avowed object ef,, strengthening and advocating their cause. It is state' that a highly influential committee is in course of f orm ; tion, and that premises in every way eligible are secu re , Independently of the political aspect assumed , it is Pi bable that in these days of club life a large number ° members will gladly avail themselves of the advantages offered.
