Upon exami nation the Japanese Government, considering that the vessel was too dear and badly constructed, decided that in future purchases of the kind shall be made only in France or England. It also censured the engineer who had been sent to New York to purchase the corvette. That official, who is brother of one of the ambassadors who re cently visited Paris, believed himself dishonoured, and asked for and obtained permission from the Tycoon to commit suicide.

The management of our Metropolitan Gas and Water Companies is certainly not altogether in a satisfactory condition, and we are not surprised that the whole question should have been brought under the consideration of the Upper House the other evening. Lerd REDESDALE'S motion, indeed, had reference only to the West Middlesex Water Bill, and his anxiety for a committee of the whole House originated in his fear that the quantity of water taken from the Thames might become exces sive. The bill proposes to extend the works of the company to Hampstead, Middlesex, and other places, which would greatly extend the area of supply, and since the company atpresent only draw 8,000,000 gallons daily of the 20,000,000 gallons to which they are entitled, yet the quantity taken during the summer time by the various companies materially affected the power of the stream. Lord REDESDALE considers that the House should con sider whether it is not desirable that new districts should be supplied from new sources rather than depend upon the old ones. On a further discussion the bill in question was allowed to pass ; and in deed it is difficult to see bow it could have been delayed, since the company do not ask for permission to take more water, but only, to extend their works, and they are already entitled by Act of Parliament to more than twice as much as they use. The question of how much should be drawn from the river may, however, very well be discussed at another time, since it will be a very great evil to diminish, unnecessarily, the flow of the river. Meanwhile the general discussion on the matter showed how much dissatisfaction is felt in the me tropolis regarding the management of gas and water. Earl GREY remarked that the whole ques tion was of great importance, and ought to be dealt with comprehensively. " London," he said " was greatly increasing in size, and the whole system of municipal affairs for the government of the metro polis appeared to him to be utterlybreaking down." Did the Government mean, he asked, that the Legislature were to drift on passing a suc cession of private bills, or were they prepared to introduce some comprehensive measure of muni cipal reform? From Lord GRANVILLE'S reply there does not appear to be any such movement in prospect ; but we can hardly suppose that the country will long be satisfied with the present condition of affairs. The Gas and Water Bills are, in fact, as Lord GREY observed, transferred from the proper municipal authority to joint stock com panies, which are very apt to abuse their powers and consult the interests of their shareholders rather than those of the gas companies, and more especially there is a system of monopoly which is supposed to be the particular aversion of Englishmen. The metropolis is mapped out into so many districts, and each district is supplied by its particular company, which, consequently, exer cises an absolute dictatorship over the consumers. Any complaint, remonstrance, or refusal to pay an extortionate demand is met by the threat of dis continuing the supply, and the consumer, if he has large premises, shops, or offices is forced to capitu late. There have long been complaints on this point, and Lord OVERSTONE only expressed the ge. neral opinion when he said that the grievances under which this great metropolis was suffering, owing to the want of control over water, gas, and other compa nies, bad reached a great height. Lord TAUNTON went still further, and declared that the manner in which the affairs of the metropolis were managed was a scandal to the country, and that from want 'of unity of action enormous sums of money were thrown away, and while the safety and convenience of the public and proper sanitary arrangements were neglected. The fact of the matter is that the whole system of municipal government needs a thorough reorganisa tion. It was intended originally as a protection against centralisation, but from the manner in which the gas and water companies are conducted it brings about the very evil which it was intended to avoid. The management is as despotic as under the most paternal Government, and the public have in fact less chance of making themselves heard by a Board of Directors than a Minister of the Interior. After our usual English fashion, we have been grumbling for a long while without making any very great effort to get rid of the incumbrance ; but there is a prospect of matters righting themselves by coming to a standstill. The Metropolitan Board, partly from choice, partly from necessity, has had to undertake so many costly worki of late years, that the whole question of the metropolitan rating will probably soon be brought under consideration. At present tge rates are bur densome enough, but so extremely unequal that while the struggling householder in the East-end, who can scarcely get a living, has to pay five or six shillings, his happier fellow-citizen at the West-end has only to pay half-a-crown, though very possibly a hundred guineas to the one would be of less consequence than twenty shillings to the other. Surely this is a very false and mischievous system, and its evil effects on the treatment of the poor have long been painfully evident. Public opinion is tending more and more in favour of a general rate; and Mr. VILLIERS himself recom mended such a rate for the maintenance of the sick poor the other day. Why not carry the 'prin ciple still further, and put the whole of our rating system on a fair and equitable basis. Till we do this we shall never have the affairs of our metro polis or our poor well and economically adminis tered. More despatches have come to hand from Aus tria and Prussia, which repeat the same old story we have listened to so long without throwing any new light on the subject. Count MENSDORFF has sent a despatch to Count KARoLvi at Berlin, in which he makes mention of a Note handed to him by M. DE WEATHER from his Government. The Count declares that the Prussian Government. seem to recognise the fact that there is no reason to dis cuss the question of the priority of armament, and that the two Sovereigns have disclaimed a ny idea of aggressive intentions. But M.. DE BISMARCK, it is added , p ersists in pursuing the argument. Thereupon Count MENSDORFF statesude s that "His Majesty the EMPEROR does not believe that this is the right way to arrive at the precisely whichwayis to foment angry feeling, and increase the A disputes that are constantly occurring, to be for ever h arping so provocati ve of angry on the same theme, which is to cause jealousy. feelings, and so likely The EMPEROR proposes that he should draw bi back the t B Austrian er. a of troops that have been tt a . to the north-western frontier, which step the C IA THE SON, LOADOI, THURSDAY EVENiNG, APRIL 26, 1866. lin Chas thought was a military measure di re( And against Prussia ; and also the EMPEROR pl edged himself to adopt other measures leading to the same result, upon the condition that the Prus sian. Government on their part will undertake to order on the same day that their different corps d'armee shall return to the peace footing which existed before the 29th of March. This is called in the des patch an " incontestable proof" of the desire of this EMPEROR to maintain peace. In fact this may , be considered in some respects to be the Aus tria n ultimatum, for it is not likely that the Govern ment of Vienna will go any further, and indeed it is riot reasonable to expect that they should do so. All the concessions cannot come * from one side, if a Lasting and satisfactory arrangement is to be made. It has been the plan in the treaties and compacts made hitherto between the two great German Powers, and it is to be hoped that if they come to an understanding now that they will place matters on such a footing that they will not be likely to misunderstand each other again in a hurry. In reply to this commnnication M. DE WERTHER delivered a communication to Count MENSDORFF, which was tolerably satisfactory, although not so outspoken as the Austrian one. There is always something working in the background in any plan or proposal of Herr BISMARCK which greatly mili tates against its success. Even when he argues as to what is proposed by others, he always does so with reservation, and seems intent on making himself of consequence, rather than of expediting matters or coming to a satisfactory conclusion. Of course, there is an exceedingly long preamble about the necessity that existed for the recent warlike preparations of Prussia in con sequence of the military manoeuvres of the Aus trians. The KING, however, agrees to the propo sition made to him in the despatch above alluded to, and as soon as he shall have received authentic in formation respecting the Austrian disarmament he will give orders for the reduction of those portions of his army which have lately been augmented. This is eminently characteristic of the course which the Berlin Government is prone to follow. What right have they to demand that the Austrians should disarm. First of all, suppose the Prussians change their minds, in consequence of events taking a turn, and refuse to disarm, the Austrians will then be placed at a disadvantage. This proviso is not the worst made, however, for we find as we proceed • that the KING'S Government expects that the "military preparations " made by other German Powers will be countermanded, and that no renewed necessity for military preparations on the part of Prussia will be caused by a continu ance of these preparations." How can Austria undertake that the other German States will follow her example. She can of course exert her influence to that effect, but it may be unsuccessful. At any rate it is very absurd to make this a condi tion of a mutual understanding being come to be tween the two chief Powers, because if they agreed, whatever the other did would virtually be of no consequence. Still, if occasion is taken to make it a sine qua non that the lesser States mast immediately disarm, time will be lost, and perhaps great confusion ensue. It would be far more satisfactory to the well wishers of Germany if a definite ar rangement could be speedily come to, so much time is lost that it seems as if Prussia was trying to get the chance of war after all. The proposal of the E3IPEROR was more than any one in the Berlin Government had a right to hope for or expect, and it ought to have been met in a similar spirit. It seems almost like a threat, as we read the last paragraph in the despatch to Count MENS DORFF, and at any rate it is rather discourteous phraseology to employ to those who are doing their utmost to keep the peace unshaken and making sac rifices on their part. What gave rise to the neces sity for armaments at all but the arbitrary conduct and encroaching course of Prussia and her rupture of the Gastein Convention ? Fair play is, however, totally disregarded by the Berlin Cabinet, and per haps on the whole this reply has been better than might have been expected. CORRESPONDENCE FRONT PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The Siecle has the following quaint but impres sive remarks upon the attitude of Austria and Prussia :—" Admitting that Austria, who had not armed, should disarm, and that Prussia should imitate her example, the German dispute still exists, and the finish must be to take some course respect ing the question of popular Parliament. We know when the deliberations of the Federal Diet will com mence, but who can say when they will finish? In order to acquire patience, Prussia orders iron clad ships. She reckons upon having before long a real navy, with real seamen, a real Ministry, a real Government, and a real sea, if Russia will have the goodness to allow it." The Constitution - nel rebukes some of the English papers for the tone they adopt in calling upon the French Government to state what policy it will pursue in regard to the differences between Austria and Prussia. Referring to The Sun it says :--" The Sun renders just homage to the elevated and pacific views of the Emperor Napoleon the Third. We will confine ourselves to the fact that the wise motives and the excellent results of the reserve which the Government has maintained in reference to the Dano-German Duchies are not less appreciated abroad than in France. What could be better than to preserve with complete neutrality entire liberty of action ?" There is probably no city in the world which is so brilliantly and tastefully lighted as Paris. The Rue de Rivoli, a very long street, presents a beau tiful line of light from the arcades, and the Place de la Concorde and the Champs Elysees - beyond are magnificent at night. The lighting of the Rue de Rivoli is remarkable from its regularity, and pre sents a line of lights two miles in length. Paris is lighted by 29,142 lamps, 1,647 of oil, and 27,945 of gas. The ray of light from Paris at night extends to a distance of more than eight kilometres. A kilometre is 1,000 metres, and there are 1,609 metres in a mile. On approaching the capital at night one must be struck with its peculiarly luminous appear ance. It was in 1666, just two hundred years ago, that they began to light the streets during nine months of the year. Under Louis XV. the Academy of Sciences caused the construction of public lamps with reflectors, which were called reverberators. During the Revolution many hundreds of persons were hanged from the lamp=posts, and there was a continual cry of " a la Lanterns" when the poor victim was hanged up. When the Abbe Maury was about to be hanged by the mob a joke saved his life. The French mob " dearly love a joke." The cord was round his neck when he said, "If you hang me up to the lamp, shall you be able to see better ?" The mob instantly relented, and the great orator was saved. The gas was first lighted in 1818 in the Passage des Panoramas, but for some years afterwards the Boulevards and various other public places were only lighted by an oil lamp suspended in the centre of the road by a chain. All the lamps in Paris are now lighted in less than half an hour. It requires a minute to light each lamp. If only one man were employed, it would take 20 days to light up Paris. Some furtlier details have transpired respect ing the attempt to assassinate the Emperor of Russia. Ivan Ossipos Komissaroff, who saved the Emperor's life, was by a singular coincidence born in the province of Kortroma, the same pro vince as that which gave birth to Ivan Soupariene, who saved the life of Michel Romanoff, the founder Komigsaroff is a serf of of the Romanoff dynasty. Baron Kister. The 13th of April was his birthday. He went out to pra3 at the chapel near the house of Peter the Great. Returning from the summer garden he saw a crowl round the Emperor's caleche. The Emperor was wdking in the garden with the Prince de Leuchtenbrg and the Princess of Baden. Never having seen tin Emperor, he'pushed forward for the purpose, whet he was elbowed by an indi vidual near him. Haring allowed this man to pass he saw him take out z pistol and aim at the Empe ror. Komissaroff uttered a cry and struck the pistel aside at the moment when it went off, so that the assassin's intention vas frustrated, and the ball passed over the Emperor's head. The assassin was arrested. His name is Petrowskis, and he is 24. He was taken to the vinter palace, where the Em peror went to announce what had taken place to the Empress. The Empress thanked Komissaroff with tears in her eyes. • The Council of the Empire, which was, sitting al the time, came to offer their congratulations to • tie Emperor. The officers of the guard also arrived for the same purpose. The Emperor presented hs saviour to them, and de clared that he would raise him to the rank of a noble. The announcement was received with shouts of applause, and a subscription was raised on the spot to make up a little fortune for Komissaroff, who is married, and has a daughter who is 18 months old. The Imperial family lepaired immediately to church, and the Te Deum was chanted. The city was brilliantly illuminated at night, and various manifestations of joy and congratulation have since been made at the theatres and other public places. A good deal of money has already been raised for Komissaroff, and it is said to be the intention to purchase a handsome house for him at St. Peters burg. The following is the programme of the ensuing races in the Bois de Boulogne .—To-morrow (Thursday) the contest will be for five prizes. Prix de l'Ecole Militaire, 4,000 f. Seven horses entered.

To-day there has been no cloud or semblance of one, and it was altogether a Midsummer day. Yet for the last few days at early morning it has been frosty. Cheap literature progresses. Yesterday there appeared a new illustrated literary and dramatic journal, called the Nouvel Illustre for the small charge of one halfpenny. It had three illustrations, a whole page one, with the name of the English artist, W. J. Linton, the block being probably borrowed ; Spring in the Bois de Boulogne, Na poleon the First wounded at Ratisbon, and a half page engraving. Can the " force of cheapness further go." . The Europe asserts that the Plenipotentiaries at the Paris Conference upon the Danubian Duchies are unanimously in favour of the union, except M. de Budberg, who thinks the maintenance of the union impossible, because Moldavia is completely opposed to it.

He was a student at the University of Moscow, -where he made himself remarkable by his melancholy disposition and the socialistic character of his opinions. He once attempted to commit suicide. ITALY. FLORENCE, APRIL 26. The report of the committee of the Chamber of Deputies upon the budget proposes : "An income tax of 8 per cent. on all incomes above 350 fr. per annum ; incomes between 300 fr. and 350 fr. are to pay a fixed annual tax of 14fr., and those ranging from 250 fr. to 300 fr. a tax of 7fr. ; incomes below 250 fr. are to be exempt from taxation. The tax upon incomes derived from Go vernment stock, public appointments, and pensions will be deducted by the Government at the time the dividends, salaries, or pensions are paid ; and in comes from landed property will be liable to the tax for one half of their annual amount." The various measures proposed by the committee will, it is estimated, reduce the deficit to 50,000,000 francs. DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. BUCHAREST, APRIL 25.

FRIEND MORNING STAR. - _ Punch. May I ask thee, Friend, a few questions ? Star. Yea, Yea, verily, if thee wilt. Punch. What, then, is thy roason for making the man Russell, vainly and carnally called Earl, say, when speak ing on tho Oaths, that King Charles the Second reigned in 1575 ? Star. I see that I said so. Truly, it was a stumble. Punch. Nay, friend, for at the distance of a column from thy first statement, thou repeatedst it. Behold and see : "EARL RUSSELL: That was in regard to the oath framed in 1575." Nan bis errare licet, thou knowest. Star. What signifieth when a profligate sat on a throne ? Punch. 'Tis well answered, Friend. I will next ask thee thy reason for making the man Layard say that Friend Bright was like unto "Snout the Joiner." Star. Did he not say so, even that same ? It is a quo tation from some foolish stage play. Punch. But in that stage play, by one Shakspere (of whose eptire works thou mayest obtain a convenient copy from one A. Macmillan, at the inordinately low price of three-and-six) the man's name is Snug, and not Snout. Star. I marvel that thou canst think a playwright's trash worthy of a second thought. Punch. Let it pass, for this time, then, and let me now read thee what thou recordest as the man Cairns's remarks touching Friend Bright's invocation to the people to come and mob the members : " That letter, which grossly calumniated the House of Commons—(loud cheers)—invited all the people of London to commit a breach of the law. (Cheers.) But that letter failed to produce excitement amongst the people. The people of England were now too educated to bo influenced by such appeals. The waiter of such a letter in days gone by would have run the risk of being committed to the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms. (Laughter and cheers.)" Star. Cairns, who is altogether like thyself, one of tho irreverent, did utter those impertinent words touching the greatest man in the world. Punch. Yea, verily, Friend, but did he not also say this ? "But that letter had fallen perfectly inoffensive on the people to whom it was addressed, and it was treated by tho rest of the world with the contempt it deserves." Star. He added that further outrage. Punch. And why didet not report it ? Truly, Friend, the world looks for truthfulness in reports. Star. I do not print for the world, but for the faithful. Punch. Then I shall ask thee but one thing more. What is thy reason for alleging that Nottinghamshire is by the sea ? Star. Has the great Bright said so ? Then I adhere to his statement. Punch. I know not. I think not, for he is a lover of the waters, and knows better. But this is what thou vast good enough to state, on the 12th instant : "Mr. Collinson, of the Robin Hoods, is raising a fund at Nottingham to provide a lifeboat for use at some place on the Nottinghamshire coast. A sum of £420 is required." Star. To answer, thee with a jest, after thine own heart, I have made a Re-Distribution of Counties. Punch. Ha! ha! Thou art truly American, Friend Star, in thy profound learning, thy much reading, thy fair play, and thy general information; therefore, American like, let us liquor. THE ISSUE OF THE BILL.--We need hardly in form our readers that in the case of an absolute defeat on the second reading the Ministry will immediately resign. If, however, as is possible, their majority should barely reach two figures; thereby perilling the ultimate attainment of a reduction of the franchise, we believe it will result in the immediate secession from the Cabinet of Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone. They will most probably be accompanied by - advanced followers, such as Lord .Elartington and Mr. Goschen, leaving a proportion of the existing Ministry, 'who will be ready to form a Coalition Government, with Lord Stanley, Mr. Walpole, and Mr. Henley. The Opposition which will thus be formed will be a strongly cohesive party, headed by Mr. Gladstone, and might fairly be estimated at a strength of about 250, exclusive of the Irish members. Our opinion is that a Coalition Government might last for two or three sessions, when a new general election will have to settle the future balance of parties. Our readers will understand that we give this simply as the probability of the hour, which may be altered at any moment by current events.—Owl.--[ln place of these three letters at the end of this remarkable paragraph, we would beg leave respectfully to suggest four, namely]—Bosh. A WORD ON THE G OBELI N TAPESTRIES.—When men were continuall y un d er arm s on the aggressive and defensive in olde n ti mes, amon g the nations of anti quity, and when women were necessarily uneducated, I think they were well employed by making carpets and rugs and draperies for the ground and the couches they were eternally sitting on. A great deal of carpeting was re quired ; and education being at a discount, reading and writing were rarer arts than those of love and music, and needlework in tapestry. Therefore, the female portion of the community killed two birds with one stone, by their production of the queiiit tapestries which have disfigured for somo centuries the walls of eastern mausoleums and holes and corners of Zuropean churches, inasmuch as they provided the upholstery and chronicled the events of the age they lived in. The compiling and custody of MSS. in bygone ages of the wprld were difficult and precarious, so I can admire the respect and rage of the ancients for tapes tries of all sorts, but at the present day, and after a visit to the Gobelins manufactory in the Rue Mouffetard, S.E. of Paris, much as I admire Parisian work indoors and out doors (particularly the sweep, and cleaning and mending of the streets), I nevertheless decline for a practical con science sake to cry, with a grateful Gobelin, "Viva les Tapisseries !"—Once a Wea, FRANCE.

COMPENSATION FOR SIR ISAAC NEWTON'S HOUSE. —Yesterday at the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-square, a compensation case, " Williams v. the Metropolitan Rail way," occupied Mr. Humphreys, the coroner, and a special jury, till nearly six o'clock, in which a claim was made for Newton's house, vicarage-place, Kensington. Sir Isaac Newton died on the 18th March, 1727, aged 85. Mr. Mon tagu Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Horace Lloyd were for Mr. E. Williams, the claimant, who had carried on a school called "Newton's House School." Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Hol way represented the company. The claim was between £4,000 and £5,000. At the back of the play-ground, where there was a gymnasium, the company had taken a part of the ground for a tunnel, and Mr. Williams required them to take the whole property. He could get no place for his scholars, and since September his school had been broken up. His furniture had been sold et a great sacrifice, and the gymnasium, which, with the fowl-house, cost £25, only fetched 4s. 6d. He had suffered great anxiety and sick ness in his family. His profits were about £l,lOO a year, and some curious facts were elicited. The boarders and masters, with the domestic servants, cost about 575. a week, and one of the witnesses said when the boys returned on a Monday they were not at all hungry, after their feed at honk) on the Sunday. (Laughter.) Mr. Lloyd complained that Mr. Williams had left the house when the company only wanted a piece of the ground. The jury, no doubt, felt much sympathy for l=m, but he had really brought his own condition on himself. The assessor placed the several heads of claim before the jury, and they gave a verdict for £2,110. The same railway company took Milton's house at Cripplegato, and now hold Newton's house at Kensing ton, ~~ oirri einnbr HER MAJESTY• OSBORNE, Wednesday.
