The Emperor of RUSSIA has arrived in Paris, and Paris was enlivened by the eclat that attended the Imperial entree. This event naturally carries one's mind back to the time when another Emperor of RUSSIA entered Paris, and the contrast is indeed striking and particular. It is under far happier circumstances that the present Czar, now enters the capital of France, and indeed it is scarcely possible to exaggerate the changes for the better that have occurred since that period. The Emperor NAPOLEON is also circumstanced very dif ferent to the NAPOLEON of that day, and although not to te compared with his illustrious relative, it may be said that he manages the suc cesses of his policy of peace more frilly and effec tually than hi 3 predecessor that of war, which was his forte. A brilliant scene was that which met the eyes of the Autocrat upon his arrival in the French capital. The EMPEROR was there to greet him, and a very cordial salutation to:Ac. place between: two monarchs : a guard of honour, ltiussi.►n French flags, and all the attendant attributes that go to make up an affair of this kind. The only drawback to the arrangements seem to have been that the two Emperors set off i❑ a close carriage, which caus2.d great disap poinintnit to the crowds which had waited for hours in the expectation of sight seeing. This is on.) a • nyn t e orary arrangement, however, because , there will 1 c other opportunitiez of seeing the illus- trious visiOrs; still it is always a matter of regret when anything occurs to mar the enjoyment of the public on such occasions. It is, on the whole, a fortunate thing that the Emperor of RUSSIA should have visited Paris at this juncture. Anything that affords an opportunity for visits of this kind is to be taken advantage of by experienced politicians, and the more so as these opportunities are as rare as they are precious. It is not difficult to foresee the confusion that would arise were an Imperial visit like this to be made for no visible purpose, how rumour would run riot, and how numerous would be the surmises to which it would give rise. We are not sorry, besides, that Paris should now be the centre of attraction in Europe after the very prominent manner in which Prussia has put herself forward, and that the Emperor NAPOLEON should be master of the ceremonies to the crowned heads of Europe, and of course able to improve the opportunity in various ways. It may be that the various circumstances connected with the French Exhibition will serve to prevent war from breaking out, but if not, at any rate a good opportunity is thereby afforded. Nothing but the approval of this world's fair has put it off from this year, and perhaps it may re sult that a considerable time elapses before the peace of Europe is broken in upon by adverse c h an ces. Much may occur to change the direction of Prussian policy and curb the ambitious designs of Count BISMARCK by next spring, and all parties will see their way clearer we have no doubt. To clay will witness the inauguration of one of the most remarkable and important of our modern metropolitan improvements--the viaduct across HolLorn-valley. The dangers and inconveniences attending the old state of things are too familiar to every one who has driven or been driven up or down the veritable hill, Difficulty, and the actual injury done to life and limb has swelled to a for midable aggregate in the course of the yoar. The owners of horses especially had good reason to complain of the ritk run to the poor animals, and certainly it was inconsistent with our professions of humanity, as well as with our boasts of national engineering skill, that nothing should be done to facilitate the steep ascent and descent in such a crowded highway. The idea of raising Holborn-valley has indeed been in existence for many years ; but, like other reforms, it required seemingly to be talked about, laid aside, brought out again and re-discussed, and then left in abeyance for a considerable time. In September, 1863, however, decisive steps were taken, and the Improvement Committee of the Corporation were empowered by the Court of Common Council to in vite the preparation of plans, designs, and estimates for the desired improvement, and as many as 105 suggestions were offered, accompanied by numerous drawings and models. The engineer and surveyor to the City Commissioners of Sewers superintended their classification, and divided them under several heads. There were some that only dealt with portions of the road and sideway, and these were set aside as not sufficiently comprehensive. The great object which the committee set before them was the securing of a good roadway between east and west, and the necessity for this was amply proved by a report of Mr. HATwoon, which showed that upon an average more than 4,200 vehicles go up and down the bill from the low levels daily. The pan which was finally decided upon was cer tainly comprehensive enough, for it involves the entire removal of the present surface and the pro perty on both sides. It is based upon the principle of constructing viaducts or high level roadways on the line of Holborn -bill and Skinner-street, and will, it is believed, provide a complete remedy for the existing evils, afford improved approaches from the surrounding neighbourhood, and offer great facilities for traffic. The work of clearing has been going on vigorously for a consi derable time, and the demolition has been rapid, as we know, from the sad stories brought to light by the destruction of the crowded courts and alleys that fringed the hill. The work itself, however, has not been actually set on foot until to-day, when the chief corner stone of the projected viaduct will be laid with all due ceremony. The work will, when completed, be a fine specimen of engineering skill. The viaduct is to extend from the western end of Newgate-street to Hatton-garden, cross ing Farringdon-street by an iron bridge of three arches supported by granite piers with easy flights of steps for foot passengers. The viaduct is to be 80 feet wide, and connected with two new streets, one starting from Hatton-garden to the north-east, the other joining it near St. Sepulchre's Church, and proceeding in the opposite direction. A direct line of thoroughfare will thus be formed, which can hardly fail to afford substantial relief to the traffic, more especially as ready access will be given by it to the new meat market and to the north-eastern parts of London, including of course the Cattle Market. We hope that this great and much-needed improve ment may be carried out fully and effectually with out any unnecessary delay. It is quite time that we set our city in order, for although we may boast of its bustle and confusion, it is very inconvenient and unbusinesslike to allow unnecessary obstacles to our daily traffic. It is only to be regretted that so many poor families have inevitably suffered from the change, and it is worth considering whether on a similar occasion some provisions for their accom modation might not be stipulated for by the Legis lature in granting the necessary powers. On Saturday the statue of Lord HERBERT was unveiled, by the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, in the pre sence of several noblemen and gentlemen. Previ ous to the ceremony being performed, Mr. GLAD STONE, as chairman of the Executive Committee, made a few well-timed observations, in which he alluded to the circumstances which had attended this affair. The right hon. gentleman said truly that " they might deem themselves happy in having been allowed to place the statue of Lord HERBERT in contiguity with the scene which is asso ciated with the most interesting of all his labours, and in which he spent the last and failing energies of his life." Mr. GLADSTONE con cluded by expressing in eloquent terms the high sense which all entertained of the services rendered by the departed nobleman to the army, which, in deed, was his especial claim to public notice and re - gard ; and added that he trusted that for that reason, even more than on account of others, the statue before them might long be a memorial visible to the eyes of all men, and " saying, though dumb, to all those who came after the deceased, 'Go thou and do likewise.' " Good taste has been shown in the inscription on the pedestal, SIDNEY HERBERT, that being the name by which the late noble man was best known. Sir J. PAKINGTON said a few words in testimony of his apprecia tion of the work Wore them, and his sense of Lord 11E1 - alma's devotion to the public service ; and the Duke of CAMBRIDGE'S observations were interest ing, for he referred to the three " leading features" in the life of Lord HERBERT, Width the artist had happily seized upon in his tablets. He is associated with Miss NIGHTINGALE, the hospital arrangements for which that lady has been so famous. He i, also represented by the volunteer force, which he had a great deal to do with, and like wise in the construction of some new war material ; the first Armstrong gin having been made under his administration. This interesting ceremony attracted a number of THE SUN, ON, _MONDAY EVENING, JUNE . 2 1867. spectators, and it seems, indeed, a fitting thing that these memorials to some of our leading statesmen, or others intimately associated in rendering im portant services to the country, should be placed in conspicuous positions in the metropolis. It is a tribute to - the most of those who are gone, and an incentive, :for the encouragement of those who are to come after them. The late Lord HERBERT certainly rendered great services to the State by improving the condition of the soldier, but he did nothing that may not be done again by those who have the ability and the good will to tread in his footsteps. He profited by cir cumstances, and being struck with the glaring errors and deficiencies around him he laboured strenuously to supply the remedy. Let others also do this whenever and wherever they can do so, and the result cannot but be satisfactory to the inte rests of the public and the general welfare of the country. It has long been a reproach to English men that they fail to recognise merit, and it is therefore gratifying to notice any instance which affords an exception to the rule. It seems that slavery is going out of fashion in the Southern half of the American continent as well as in the North of the Gulf of Mexico. The Brazilians, however, are determined that they shall not be accused of imprudent haste, or of giving themselves cause °for leisurely repentance. The plan upon which they have decided, if the accounts received be reliable, is dilatory in the extreme, and we apprehend that before the prescribed time has expired the Brazilians will find it necessary to quicken their speed. Slavery they affirm, shall totally cease in the year 1900, thirty-three years hence, and the State is to indemnify those citizens who may still own slaves at that period. The matter is not to be left for settlement until that date, since, from the promul gation of the decree, all children born to slaves shall be free. Children who may be educated in the houses of their parents' masters shall serve them till their 20th year. There will be established courts of emancipation in all the towns to enforce the law, and a fixed amount will be set aside for the emancipation of the slaves of the nation, and a fund will be appropriated for the annual purchase of slavcs, so that only a few mly be left in slavery when the final emancipation comes. The general features of the scheme are excellent, and we con gratulate the Brazilians on having decided at last to rid themselves of what cannot be otherwise than a national disgrace and drawback. ample means of imbibing genuine old English beer and ale, and every species of the delicious wine of France, yet even teetotalers have been thought of. In the park, close to the Ecole Militaire, is a remarkable establishment, a farm, where there are twenty Dutch cows, and here the temperate enjoy beautiful fresh milk, which at periods of the day may be had pure . and hot from the animal. Without, the place has all the accessories of a farm,. for there are plenty of chickens, sheep, turkeys, pigs, and calves. N repast of fresh laid eggs and genuine milk is not a bad one for a Teetotaller. In a farm near Paris a novel if not unprecedented sight may new be wit nessed. A hen has hatched no less than 2..1: chickens, and she attends to her whole brood, with maternal care. At the farm at the Exhibition the cows are installed under a very tastefully executed circular tent. Some thirty years ago France was very much behind-hand in regard to the manufacture of car riages. Even the rich rode in the most ugly-look ing and inconvenient vehicles, and as to the public vehicles they were miserable and unsightly in the extreme. 'lhe French have, indeed, changed all this. The carriage depaitment at the Exhibition, which is situate near the Porte St. Dominique, has a display of carriages which cannot be surpassed, or, I think, equalled anywhere for elegance, com fort, and beauty. There is one carriage which is signalled out by all for its striking display of neat ness. It is not gaudy and cumbersome, like some of our English State carriages, but is an object remarkable as affording proof of the great advance in this branch of French industry and art. I cer tainly never saw so beautiful a carriage, and my opinion is confirmed by many writers in the Paris papers. The manufacturer, M. Kellner, of the Boulevard llaussman, well deserves the tribute paid to his taste and skill. It appears that he has just obtained a pateat for a very useful but simple piece of mechanism to be applied to a landau. At pre sent the door of a carriage cannot be opened with out lowering the window, but this inconvenience is avoided by the appliance of this invention. In a few (lays visitors will have an opportunity of seeing it at the Exhibition. A despatch has been received in Paris from Vienna which announces that the Austrian Government has received from its Ambassador in the United States a telegram confirming the news of the c ipture of Queretaro by the Republicans, and of the unconditional surrender of the Emperor Maximilian. From other sources of informa tion it appears that there is no foundation for the report that Juarez had given orders that the unfortuate Emperor should be shot. The weather is magnificent to-day, but over poweringly hot. All Paris is on holiday. In addi tion to the Exhibition there is a fete at Sevres, races in the Bois de Boulogne, and innumerable novel entertainments. THE CRISIS IN BRAZIL. The royal mail steamer, from Brazil, brings nothing new from the seat of war in Paraguay. The cholera had broken out in the allied camp to a fearful extent, and shows itself a worse and more pitiless foe than Lopez. Nearly 3000 died in five days, and the men have become so exasperated that they ask to be brought into action at once, or that peace should be made. At Buenos Ayres and Rosario this dreadful disease has made great havoc. Buenos Ayres is nearly deserted, every one has fled to the country, and business is suffering greatly, For fear of infection Montevideo is closed to all communication with Buenos Ayres, and to ships coming from the Parana. The situation of the Brazilian empire is best described by giving extracts from their own journals. The Journal de Brazil has a well-written article under the above head, and so has the Journal de Commercio, which we insert : " We are going from bad to worse, from one abyss into another. The folly of the Government is aggravated by its utter inefficiency. To order an impossibility is the act of imbeciles, to decree au injustice is decidedly wicked ; but to admit the im possibility and injustice of a decree, and yet persist in it, argues thel most lamentable depravity. Un fortunately it is not only the Ministers who are de moralised, but the very principal of authority is undermined. We are in a dreadful crisis ; all the bad elements of society are actively at work, and honest men hide their heads. The Government inspires no confidence in our citizens, nor di sp l ays r:price, a n d re f uses to re sign without patriotism, the They began the war its . energy to quell public disturbers. With ou t pres tige, Ministry • it hisous emptytv swayed a y conviction,ehao honours. oye u without an army, they confided the campaign to foreign generale whose interests were highly suspicious ; they plunged the Empire in debt, they sent the bone and sinew of the country to Paraguay, and now when reduced to the last extremity they have the temerity to outrage the National Guards of Rio Janeiro whose lives have been already so fre,ly sacrificed in a cam paign to enrich army-contractors. Those vampires have made splendid fortunes in the new El Dorado, but the country will be a prey to bankruptcy, taxa tion, and tyranny, to meet such enormous outlay, while deprived of the elements of labour. Whither do they drag us ? What end is there in view, but the il l- fated River Plate, and inglorious thea t t Government p , ai wa was over.

The National Guard has rendered many services to the Empire, and more than once saved us from anarchy with out pay or reward. This is not the time to call for cruel and impracticable sacrifice on their part ; if disaffections seize their ranks we shall lose the only force remaining to guarantee us from danger. The sea is troubled and boisterous, and strange objects are rising to the surface on every side : strange people are beginning to figure among us. Not a moment is to be lost : the Ministry must resign, and the National Guard will resume their post of honour. Any disturbance in Rio Janeiro and the provinces would be at present a terrible event.

A PHILOSOPHER VULGARISED. —.Mr. Mill made a speech on Saturday at St. James's Hall which was not at all in bis true line. It was against Mr. Dis raeli's clauses about the (then dying) Compound House holder, and his speech was an attempt in the direction of rough-and-ready agitation. It expressed Lis resolve "to be a precious great distance out of the wood before I hulloa in future," mid contained other idiomatic vulgarisms of that kind. It is more painful to see Mr. Mill studying this style of speaking than it over was to see Burke cutting blocks w:th a rezur. Ills style is naturally refined, acute, discursive, above all things, intellectual. And there is consequently a hollow ring about his mob-style, as well as a painful contrast between it and that which really belongs to him. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at the Tuileries, at which the Emperor presided. The Empress also was present. The Moniteur states, but not in its official part, that the exchange of the ratifications of the treaty regulating the situation of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg took place in London on Friday. Princess Marie, Infanta of Portugal, the wife of Prince George of Saxony, has been happily delivered of a daughter. The last bulletin of the physicians in attendance upon the Archduchess Maria, of Austria, is very satisfactory. The Prussian Chamber of Deputies has agreed to the second reading of the bill for the Federal Con- stitution by 227 against 93. The Progressive party again proposed a resolution for the rejection of that Constitution. The orators of the Liberal party supported it. The Parisians were in a state of unusual excite ment yesterday in consequence of the arrival of the Emperor Alexander. Even the Exhibition was de serted for the moment, and every body rushed to the Northern Railway station. PI Worms were erected within the station for the accommodation of many hundreds of persons. The 2d batt Ilion of Foot Chasseurs and the 4th and 15th Regiments of the Line, under the orders of Gen. Soumain, were either within the station or formed in line as far as the boulevard de Strasbourg. The Emperor was in waiting to receive his guest, and immediately on the arrival of the Emperor of Russia they got into a State carriage, which was in waiting, and pro ceeded to the Tuileries together, escorted by a squad ron of Lancers. Twelve carriages were provided for the Emperor's suite. The Emperor Alexander 11. reached the station, which was beautifully ornamented on the occasion, within a few minutes of the hour appointed. His recep- tion there and everywhere upon the route was one of wild and heartfelt enthusiasm. He is accompanied by his sons, the Czarewitch, or Hereditary Prince Alexander, the Prince Wladimir, and M. de Gortschakoff, his First Minister. The Emperor was born on the 20th of April, 1818, and is consequently 49. He succeedel his father, the Emperor Nicholas 1., on the 2d of March, 1855. He was married on the 28th April, 1811, to the Empress Marie Alexandrowna, born on the 2d of August, 1824, daughter of Louis the Second, Grand Duke of llesse Darmstadt. On arriving at the Tuileries the Emperor paid a visit to the Empress, and the Royal party and suite then proceeded to the Elysee Bourbon, which has been prepared for their reception. At every point on the way the crowd was very great, and the cheering loud and incessant. the procession went along the Rue de Rivoli, and from thence passed through the Avenue des Champs Elysees and the Avenue Marigny. Among the ornaments of the station were Rus sian and French flags. The saloons were tastefully decorated with green velvet embroidered with gold. Some 3,000 persons were accommodated. Baron Andre du Budbcrg, Ambassador Extraor dinary and Plenipotentiary from the Court of Russia to Paris, went to Verriers (Belgium) to meet the Emperor. The imperial train was driven from the French frontiers to Paris by M. Petiet, chief engineer of the Northern Railway. The Emperor Napoleon was accompanied to the station by the Ministers, Marshals of France, and a splendid staff. The chief officers of his household were also present to do honour to the arrival of the distinguished guest. Splendid weather added to the eclat of this great incident. It is now a century and a half ago, in 1717, since the Sovereign, who is considered as the founder of the Russian Empire, visited Paris. The Regent of France received Peter the Great with all honour and courtesy. The latter was then in full vigour, being 45. He remained in Paris fOr several months, having arrived in May and did not leaTe till August. While in Paris the Emperor seemed to wish to study everything, particularly matters relating to the army. His first visit was to see the old wounded warriors of Louis the 14th. He went to the invalids the next day after his arrival. The old warriors now in that establishment must often amuse themselves with anecdotes which tradition has transmitted relative to his visit. *He went into the dining room while the soldiers were having their dinner, chatted and ate and drank with them in the most courteous and affable tretnncr. Before leaving the Emperor filled a tin goblet with wine, and drank to the health of the soldiers, an act which elicited the most enthusiastic applause. The Emperor afterwards paid several other visits to the invalidA, an example which has been fol lowed by most of the monarchs who have since come to Paris. A strange story is told about a pike, which seems very like a whale. It is recorded in the Leinan, a newspaper of Thonons, a fisherman there had a small boat built, which is towed with great docility by an enormous pike, which, however, occasionally takes a few leaps and plunges during his progress. The pike is enclosed in a net fixed by a rope to the head of the boat, which he tows at a dashing pace, the course being governed with accuracy by the helm, so that tt.e fis:i cannot deviate from it.

BLACKVirOOD.—' l ßrownlows" is continued, bu very -much progress is not made in this number, with the exception of the visit of Phoebe Thomson to Mrs. Fennell. Mr. Brownlow is evidently on the wrong scent with respect to the real claimant for the property he holds in trust, and will doubt less make some strange blunders before he has done with it. We meet with an article that is sure to attract attention juFt now on the subject of "Strikes and Trades' Unions." It is written by one who evidently understands what he is about, and it is much to the point. The spread of these strikes is alluded to, and the astounding manner in which the labourers have bestirred themselves, not only in overcrowded Europe, but in thinly-peopled America, to attain a greater price for their labour. A very important part of the question of strikes as regards this country is mentioned here when it is asked how can the British employers compete with those of - other countries if the British labourer will only agree to work for four and a half days' work out of the six, and if it takes to support him twice as much as the Belgian re quires, or the Frenchman, or the German, and three times as much as the Spaniard,lth e Russian ,or Italian; ten times as much as serves the Chinaman, and twenty times as much as the Hindoo, this is indeed a thing that earnestly demands the notice of all who are interested in the future progress and interests of our country. It would be well if the promoters of these mischievous movements of the strikes, and the victims of their machinations, would consider a little more before they acted so precipitately, and so en tirely without reference to their own good or the welfare of others. The effects of a strike are here ably set forth : , 4 It may be a small and ludicrous grievance if, in conse quence of a strike among the tailors, the fashionable swells' of Landon and Paris are reduced to the sad ex tremity of wearing their old "inexpressibles " and their threadbare coats. It may be a grievance equally small if the hairdressers follow the example of the tailors, and ladies who have received invitations to balls, dinners, theatres, and evening-parties, are compelled to trust the arrangement of their odious chignons, or that of their own lovely hair, to the inexpert hands of thoir chamber -maids. But a strike assumes a formidable aspect, and is by no meals a subject of mirth, when the chief industry of a whole town or city is paralysed or destroyed by it; or when, as in the casa of the cab and omnibus drivers of London—or, worse still, of the engine -drivers on any great line of railway converging to the capital—the affairs of the busiest community in tho world are thrown into confusion, and the most serious hardship and wrong are inflicted upon thousands of inno cent people. When a strike such as this last occurs, the inconvenience, the mischief, and the loss which it occa sions are such as to force upon the attention of the most apathetic the question, whether the right of workmen to 'strike' may not, if exercised systematically, amount to a crime against the community ; and whether, if it be a right at all, it is not a right that ought to be restricted in the interest of the public anti for the prevention of anarchy, as many other rights aro and must be in every civilised country." No doubt interest will be excited by the peni s l of that part of the article which refers to the evidence taken before the Royal Com mission now sitting, and a sad proof is given of the harm done by these perpetual strikes in the bad feeling engendered between masters and men. The old ties of association that had existed for years, and in some degree smoothed the rugged road of toil, and softened the asperities of com mercial and business life, are in a great measure dissevered by the harsh rules of the new regime. In a strike which took place some time ago men came to their employer, who had served him for thirty or forty years, and said, " This is the saddest day that ever happened to us in our lives, but we must go." Another great hardship is the ill feeling it produces between the men thethselves, and the system of terrorism that has been introduced cannot be too strongly answered. A good suggestion is made at the conclusion of this article, to the effect that there might be an exception made in the principle of the laissez faire in the matter of strikes on railways. A strike on a railway line might, it is truly said, amount to a national calamity. No strikes are allowed in the army and navy, which are established for the public safety and interest; and it seems worth while at all events to turn one's attention to his matter, which affects so many interests, and cannot fail to be important to all. "My Ilunt of the Silver Fox" is an interesting little sketch, but the reader will not fail to sympathise with the un- 'ortunate amateur who failed to secure the inesti- mable prize, which he coveted, of a matchless silver fox. " King George the Third a Constitutional King" carries one back to the politics of a past generation, and the conclusion arrived at is that this monarch was true to the principles which brought his family to the throne, and the first of his race who favoured literature and the arts. " The Reform Bill " is treated of, and as those who have propounded the measure "sight land," of course the remarks assume a different aspect from what they did when all was vague and uncertain. " Mr. Lowe and Clause III." is the subject of a brief paper, and it is encouraging to find so hopeful a view of the situation taken by this periodical. COLBITIIN'S UNITED SERVICE.—As often happens, when peace is in the ascendant, people talk all the more about the havoc of war, and become very busy in discussing the most destructive weapons for carrying it out to " the bitter end." Thus we be gin the June number of this well-conducted maga zine with " Naval Armaments," a subject rightly handled from Noah's Ark downwards, when the dove returned no more after it left the olive branch as a memento with the Patriarch and his hetero geneous flock. The nearest modern approach to it is the renowned Paris Universal Exhibition, which attracts all the various royal and disloyal com petitors together in seemingly happy conclave to shake hands with one another before the fighting of Donnybrook Fair begins in real earnest, and the Exhibition, like the dove, departs to return no more in this our generation of peaceable make-be lieves, as the Fenians try to make out. So our naval armaments are in a fair way, after a great waste of powder in missing the bull's eye, to accomplish it at the last moment before the Belgian volunteers come over and catch us napping. We have guns of all sizes and all degrees making, ready-made, and in store, to give our brethren in arms a right royal welcome from the Dane and the Russ to Grand Turk, and still grander Japanese, or the Great Mogul burning in gold and radiant with all the trea sures "of Ormus and of Ind," with a train of " inco herent conciliation," as Mr. Disraeli designated the member for Birmingham's eccentric gratitude for more favours received than could have been expected. our gunmakers may now take courage and go on to " Supplementary Remarks on the Army Reorgani sation Question," in which Dr. Rennie, of the 20th Hussars, gives us a good deal of information of his acquirements on the banks of the Peiho during his eventful doings in China. Then come "The Dis cipline of the Army," " The Naval Discipline Act," and " A Few Thoughts Concerning Weather and Weather Lore," something in the manner of the late lamented Admiral Fitzroy, whose prognostics were very much missed during the late eventful and most unseasonable atmospheric changes. " Another Desert March," and a chapter on the " Turret and Broadside Ironclads," tend to make a pretty good account of the labours of the merry month of May for the benefit of June readers of the United service. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—This magazine is con- tinned in its usual light and lively strain. The editor's romance is finished, but it is succeeded by a tale of the day, entitled " Modern Speculation," which will ro doubt find plenty of readers. " Curiosities of the French Postal Service " is the title of a paper affording some eutertainin greading. " A sketch of Lapland Travel" introduces us to some new scenes and characters. We have, besides, the second part of the article on " Queen Elizabeth and her Times," and a paper on " Aloz,trt in Lon don," besides the customary " cue " from Francis Jacox, so that altogether the number is above the average. FRASER'S MAGAZINE.—Fraser opens with an ar cle on education, a weighty subject, carefully rented. The difficulties iu the way of the goa which all social reformers aim at are fairly consi dered, and the writer admits that much has been done, but theie is no denying that much remains to do. We commend the article, which, though com prehensive, is not lengthy, to all interested in the present aspect of this great national question. " The Teaching of Mr. Maurice" is fully discussed, and a high tribute paid to the teacher. " Charlotte Corday" forms the subject of another paper, which sums up the principal points in her brief but memorable career. The fourth article on " Military Reform" examines the existing system of military education, from which it affirms that many abso lutely essential parts of a practical military educa tion are altogether omitted. In several matters the write; considers that the officers' position might be greatly improved and their pay increased, while he holds that they should be made to do more and allowed less leave of absence. The number of of ficers in our battalions is, he thinks, too great, and he would diminish them. The officers them selves, be says, wish for reform on many po i n t s . " Over the Moro" gives us an ani mated account of the adventures and excitement attending such an achievement. A little further on we find two papers on points connected with the re presentative system, entitled " The Exclusion of the Clergy from the House of Commons," and the "Functions of an Upper House of Parliament." Livelier if less solid reading is found in a pleasant little paper, beating the familiar initials A. K. H. B. " Concerning the Heads of Battering Rams." By these he means not literal but figurative battering rams, those " human heads that suffer many hard blows in opening a way through old prejudices and abuses." " A Charm of Birds" is a graceful and pleasantly written essay on spring and its feathered songsters, whose melody is unheard and unknown in those tropical regions where there is no spring. The story of " The Marstons" proceeds with inte rest and ability, and affords a welcome contrast to the fashionable sensation romances. TEMPLE BAR.—" Steven Lawrence, Yeoman," is continued at some length, and is very ably described in this instalment. The scene at the opera-house is particularly good, and displays the various cha racters to great advantage. The hollowness and artificialness of fashionable life present a curious experience to the plain and downright backwoods man, and, despite his blunders, we feel more sym pathy with him than with the others, who weary with their pretensions and affectation. " Cliques and Criticism" is a peep behind the scenes which produce an effect analogous to taking the gilt off the gingerbread, but no doubt there is a great deal of truth in its piquant descriptions. We cordially agree with what is here said that "cliques, sets, and coteries innumerable are the constant bane of the world Of fiction, and their existence is a perpetual check upon anything like free, outspoken opinion." " Allie Fletcher" is concluded, and is a very painful story, but it is most powerfully written. " A. Lost Name" is proceeded with, and keeps up its character of an eventful tale, with characters in it mysterious. " The A% bite House on the Moor" is an interesting chronicle, that will be completed next time ; it is a story of plots and schemes, and full of vengeance in its recital. "Whit I loarnt at Blackby" is an amusing sketch,, and is told in an attractive manner. The' Rhinoceros Major" is a curious account of some adventures of Captain Rhino, of the Black Lakes. The manner in which he bore the operation of having the horn of another rhinoceros extracted is very interesting, and shows the sagacity of those animals in a striking degree. " The Destiny of lAon Grenier" and " A Haunted Hamlet," complete the prose contributions. There are some verses by Mortimer Collins, called " Don't Let Him Catch You." THE SUNDAY MAGAZINE.—This popular and well- conducted serial belongs, strictly speaking, to what is called " Low Church," but there is much in it which members of all denominations can read with pleasure and profit. The story of the accomplished authoress of "ritoyenne Jacqueline," with its skil ful portraitures of character and its quaint mixture of French and English ways of life, must win the favour of any reader. "My Chosen Friends," by the author of " Studies for Stories," affords plesant reading, while graver subjects are plentiful and suitably treated. "Every Alan his own Philanthro pist" contains some suggestive reading. " Thorns" forms the subject of some wise and kindly teaching, and there are other articles in a similar spirit. A poem, called " Anita's Prayer," is founded on a touching record of childish faith. 141 DI. HER MAJESTY, &c• BALMORAL, June 1. The Queen went out driving yesterday morning, accompanied by Princess Christian. In the afternoon her Majesty, accompanied by Princess Louise, rode on ponies up to the Sheil in Glin Gelder. Prince Arthur, attended by Major Elphinstouel left the Castle yesterday for Blackheath. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Chaunell.) CORBETT V. HOWARD AND OTHERS. Mr. Cobbett said that the case came before the court in a peculiar form. There was a demurrer, and it wa3 not according to form for him to pro ceed in arguing it in that shape. The Lord Chief Baron—There are two points that aro to be argued before us—a demurrer and a motion. We will hear one first and then the other, or both together. Mr. Corbett said that he would wish to argue both. The Lord Chief Baron—The rule against which you have to argue on calls upon you to show cause why the declaration should not be Set aside or set out, and upon this the court will hear you now. Mr. Cobbctt then entered into an argument to show that by the rules of practice the defendan t had barred himself from the benefit of any rule like the one obtained. The Lord Chief Baron interrupted him by stating to the counsel opposite that they should wish to hear the demurrer first. He thought it would be unfair to dispose of the rule without hearing the demurrer first, argued they could then dispose of the rule, if necessary, and called upon Mr. M`N 3b to let them hear what he had to say in support of the demurrer. Mr. M‘Nab (with him the Solicitor-General) said that he would read the declaration, which stated the defendants had deprived the ratepayers of th e city of Loudon of a right of common and pasture in a royal forest within 15 miles of London wit, the forest of Epping, and that 20 acres of it had been enclosed for purposes contrary to the Ac t 8 and 9 Victoria, and thereby the ratepayers ha been deprived of their right of forest and pasture. He (the learned counsel) contended that no action would lie, for so far as Mr. Corbett was concerned i f he could maintain such an action so should any ell e in the metropolis. Another point was that ther e was no authority to show that any ratepayer in London had a right of pasture or common rig ht at all. Mr. Cobbett bad not in any il a y shown that it affected him at all, a nd the Waltham forest might be within fif" teen miles of the metropolis, yet neither by ti le Act nor by statute was there anything to show that Mr. Cobbett had any right; although he was a rate payer within the royal forest, certainly that did not give him the title to common pasture. He wil ld not see, especially as the Court bad granted bie l , permission to amend, that the declaration co uld stand at all. The Lord Chief Baron—Now, Mr. Cobbett, what do you say ? Mr. Cobbett said that the learned gentleman °ll the other side had shifted his ground, and now he gener al a special declaration instead o f a gene . one. Mr. Cobbett then wen t i n t o a t ec hnical ar gument to show that the declaration was good. He then said that the learned collo° i had stated that although he might be a ra te " payer within the bounds of the Royal for yet have no right of common pasture, but be thought that their lordships would see that the forest law gave him that right, and he possessed 1 even before the common law was enacted. r Th ero was nothing even in the pleadings to answer his de claration. It only recorded a simple plea of guilty, and then he was further met by t „ s demurrer, which alleged that the declaration Ici void. The learned gentleman had said that he l' 3 not amended the declaration but their lord shirs had given him leave to do so, and he bad. It 'n i g ti be said that a commoner had a right to the fence, and if an action was brought be ! ia bt a right to defend it surely by the same I 'o t, he had liberty to bring an action like the prese ll o The argument supporting his case was, that t in land enclosed was part of a royal forest. l' r° ,,f time immemorial the ratepayers had had a right v ia common pasture, and he could not see how it cool , be abolished or abrogated now. An Act of Parka" ment, passed in 1815, for disforesting a certain fer es i ; admitted all the rights that he claimed, and ad Act, 27th and 28th Vict., confirmed it. He w °11 0 „ 5 pull dosga call their lordships' attention to the fact that it W et notorious that actions had been brought to reea ab rights of common pasture, and in all cases been successful. ; n of The Lord Chief Baron said that in the °pito the Court the declaration was insufficien t 8- rt vague, and, therefore, the judgment of the e°ll on that point would be for the defendants. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Murray.) Tits EN RE FRAMPTON AND FENTON, TIM LESSEES OF VICTORIA . These bankrupts came before THEATRE the court to-c 1 fit 1 8 /' upon their own petition, for proof of debts. t e r o are the well-known lessees of the Victoria Theteir in the Waterloo-road, and they ascribed their failure to " insufficiency of profits occasionloo, depression of trade." The debts are about 0 , so d the largest creditors being Mr. Ross, i 3 1 1 1: s Mr. Fortune, rent, £5OO. The Dramati c Society are creditors for £7 15s. The proceedlot were purely formal, a day being named forth ° meeting. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET- 10- par' I The market opens with a steady tone, at ~,'* 4 o o , day's extreme rates.
