They are flowing thougNarra ate top, the trimmings are rich gimp, dice, lace, or jet tassels down the seams, and always of the same shade or tone, which, though of a leaden tint, is supreme haul ton. Ido believe in sackcloth and ashes, for where is the woman who, having to wear either or both at the same time, would not repent as fast as she could ? But I do not trust much in the effects of a moonlight haze round a shrink. ing, kneeling blonde, though these are the very women in Paris, who have, I suppose, a good deal to repent of. Zt The most intellectual and dazzling entertainment of last wee!: was Madame de Walewski's official I concert at the Senate. All the nob/c.qee of France and notabilities from the Lower House were present, we,iring V!eir different orders and in uniform. Diamonds, p?arls, and the most i.riiliant di ideins, shone under the splen didly illuminated gallery, on the foreheads, flecks, shoulders, and arn,s of the Senators' wives and datOtters. Princess Ciothilde was attired in white moire, her bodice was half pink and half white. The predominant feature was satin. Two sisters were much admired; they wore little skirt looped up with Scotch heath, sparkling under dew. Thelounces round the under skirts were festooned with the same. Coral is the gveat vogue. It is much worn on white satin, and indeed with every thing; a blonde chooses a set of light pink, a brune prefers the deep. red. Small seed diamonds are sprinkled between close coral beads, ovals, cr scales. The coral serpent is a favourite bracelet. Coral Ceres, or wheat-ear diadems, and comb, are very elegant, as also plain long chaplets of richly -cut coral balls. Nothing can be more becoming, with plain white, and a simple sash of coral shaded ribbon. All this s detail has somewhat led me astray, for I must return to Mdme. de Walewski's concert,--though only to say that Mdme. Miolan-Carvalho was the star of • the evening ; she was presented with a bouquet, in the middle of which figured a large " M. " in white flowers. The initial was meant both for Molar'. and Marguerite (" Faust's"). She sang Gounod's " Valse de Mireille" and Auber's " Air d'Acteon." Artistical success leads me to mention the name of Mr. Glatigny, a po&e improvisateur, and a pity it is, his field of exertions should be the Alcazar ; but talent must force its way upwards, and it does not matter much in the end to those who glow with the sacred fire whether their audience applaud with brown muscular hands, or gently tap tightly-gloved palms together. I have seen many poets glad to be encouraged by enraptured old women firmly knocking.on the floor with a stumped umbrella. Mr. Glatigny's case was somewhat deserving of sympathy before his debut, for when the censors were informed that he was going to favour the Parisian public with something extempore he was begged to hand his " improvisation" to the autho rities before he gave it utterance. It strikes me (but censors are hardened very likely, and cannot be struck) that an improvisation is a thing that cannot be banded forth, and I should decidedly object to anything improvis6 that could be. The consequence was, that, after some expostulation an arrangement was entered into, which made Mr. Glatigny's task truly arduous. Ten distinct per sons present were to give ten rhyming words, an eleventh the title, and the poet was to put it all together in sonnet shape. He accomplished this to every one's satisfaction, and his audience on that evening was composed of all the cleverest writers in Paris. If I thus expatiate on achievements performed in very second-rate places, it is because I think it right to give honour where honour is due, and the fable of old has taught us that a pearl was once found by a wise scratching old hen in the remotest corner of a poultry-yard. If 1 were allowed to talk politics I should delight in giving the readers of the Franco a sketch of M. viers' speech, but the learned brotherhood would never forgive me. I may but say that there never was such a brilliant assembly at the house before. Tulle bonnets and glittering frosted flowers orna mented all the diplomatic heads of the Elite of Parisiennes, and they seemed to understand the question of equilibrium power, which we have all had to study, of course, sines we adopted top-heavy chignons. The dresses were mostly velvet fouri-eaux. Amaranthe satin and amar anths poult-de-soie, green and blue, were the plain silk shades. Our spring shapes are the perfection of our winter low crowns. A pretty trim ming is straw on velvet, amber-drops on straw bells. A bonnet I much admired at a Mdlle. Talon's, 24, Rue Drouot, was made of pink tulle ; it was low-crowned, but on the front rose a diadem of elder blossoms, in which was a moss rose at the side. There were two pairs of strings, one to be tied behind, the other of wide pink tulle in front, with another moss rose and a straggling elder branch. Mdlle. Talon is not a great milliner, but she has the taste of something less im posing, a light touch, and that is applicable to hror when she draws up , a bill also, for her prices are very moderate. Her straw hats for young people are lovely ; 'they are trimmed with field flowers, grass, hay, a little bush of dog-grasses, clover, and buttercups, looking so rural that no wonder men are deluded into a hope that the girl who wears such a hat thinks and wishes for nothing but a cottage, and a heart ; his, in pre ference to any other, because it is—so simple. , All the young ladies I hear of are wishing for some thing more. However, if they could but have a new broche', or a silk muslin with the new brocaded flowers all dotted over--one of those which cost 18f. the metre—or a dozen foulards! But I will give more of these new treasures in my next. Departure of the Great Eastern for New The Great Eastern, under the command of Sir James Anderson, will leave the Mersey for New York to-day. Since the big ship reached Liverpool after her successful cable-laying expedition, she has undergone a thorough renovation, both internally and externally. The outer hull has been scraped and painted, and several defective plates in the bottom have been replaced by new ones. • The most important alterations, however, are those which haVe taken place inside the ship. The enormous space formerly occupied by the cable tanks has been transformed into a splendid suite of saloons, three in number, furnished in the most gorgeous and substantial manner, under the direction of Messrs. R. Anderson and Sons, of Bold street, Liverpool. The berths, which afford sleep ingecitseslnatiry7eherBot;; are a one tnhde accommodatimeotnch being most for lei inn culinary y b about that comfortable ort 3 ma , no o f gof o er O mtga p oebo ass nl v g al e r l e n a t fi t i l t a l d t e r d m i l u d . desideratum in n u best, and are placed in that portion of the ship which put them out of the way of the passengers. There are four large condensers on board, capable of condensing 10,000 gallons of water per day, which will be quite ample when we consider that the big ship starts with 36,000 gallons of fresh water on board. The vessel will be steered by steam either from the bridge or from the apparatus at the stern. screw and addition c ti a o r n r i t e o s a n launchllordinary f ebeoats. long, ()n in the upper deck there is a splendid saloon capable of dining 500 people at once. • The roof of this saloon has been formed into a splendid promenade 200 feet long, which will no doubt be well patronised in fine *cattier. On the fore part of the deck there is also another but smaller saloon, containing a smoke room, coffee-room, and a barber's shop. Sa ninth for the passenger accommodation. The engine department has been comp letel y overhauled. A new set of screw engine boilers, especially de signed by Mr. George Beckwith, the chief superin tending engineer on board the Great Eastern, have been fitted up, and a new eccentric paddle shaft has also been substituted instead of the old crank. Everything that can add safety and comfort to the passengers and speed to the ship have not been over looked. All the plate.to be 1.1. ed on hoard has been supplied by Messrs. Elkington and Co., the only firm in England who were capable of furnishing it i n t i me . We cau now but hope that the Great Eastern will prove as great a success in her new route between America and France as she did in laying the cable which binds the Old and New Worlds in unity.] THE SUN, LONDON, T UESD Y EVENING, MARCH 26, 1867.

THE " WESTMINSTER GAZETTE " ON WORKHOUSE CHARITY.—There is no country in the world where so much is done in the way of charity as in Eng land. Nay, more, 'there are no people so liberal with their money for charitable objects as the English, be they at home or abroad. Distinc tions of faith, and race, and blood are forgotten when an appeal for help 'comes 'before them ; and those who will vainly knock at the door of an Italian or Sicilian magnate will find a ready re sponse in the heart and the purse of the British merchant. There are hundreds of men and women in this dear land of ours who feel and act on good old Spencer's principle : Good is no good, but if it be spend : God giveth good for none other end. Having duly acknowledged this, we are tempted to ask how it is that in England, and especially in our large towns, the misery is so appalling ? That a week's unusual frost or cold drives hundreds to their graves from sheer want of food and cloth ing and that the workhbuse machinery, so costly and so cumbersome, and falling so heavilyAlm those just removed from actual pauperism, utterly and palpably fails to meet the evil. The answer may be found, we think, in the errors of our pre sent system, and in the view taken of poverty by the majority of the nation. Although, in the ab stract, we are ready enough to allow that it is of God's ordering, and that in Holy Writ it is ex pressly stated that the poor shall never cease out of the land, yet in practice poverty is looked upon in England very much as a crime—a consequence of want of wits, or thrift, or prudence, and to be dealt with accordingly. The practical: opera tion of our workhouse system is, in consequence, purely penal. Go over the best-regulated "house" in any country union. Bolts and bars, locks and keys, divide every court, and ward, and passage. A chill goes through us when the door is locked be hind us, and we find ourselves in an apartment, spotlessly clean, it is true, as far as whitewash and scrubbing can make it, but utterly denuded of any thing like warmth, or comfort„ or hominess (to .coin a Word which none so well as English - people Understand); where, on hard henehes aroundthe cold and cheerless room, of 'which the windows are generally so glazed as to prevent their seeing out of them, are ranged a set of old men, or old wonien, as the cases may be, half stupified with the intolerable routine of their daily lives, which a clever and popular novelist has described as " an alternation of soap and water, picking oakum, and water gruel," and who rise on our entrance with the servile and forced obedience of a prisoner in a cell, their eyes often glancing fearfully and furtively at the master or mistress who accompanies the unexpected visitor, and replying in a set and stereotyped form to any question which may be put to them. Should the attention of the official be for a moment diverted to §ome other object, an eager whispered petition for " tea" or "batty" may come from the lips of one or other of these automatons,' instantly hushed by the consciousness of being watched by the dread authority, whose powers of punishment are unlimited and unknown. And who are these men and these women ? Men who have laboured all their lives long in tilling the soil which has made them so ungrateful a re turn ; or shopkeepers whom bad debts, or competi tion, or " co-operative stores," have ruined; or widows, who, after years, it •may be, of devoted patient love and toil, have been left to face the world alone, and given the alternative of a pit tance not sufficient to keep a roof over their heads, or " The House," that terror of their youths ! or else, people " who- have seen better days," a class of endless ramifications and suscep tibilities of misery unfelt by those of humbler birth or coarser organization. Still sadder is it to leave these wards and go to the children. The hours of school are over ; the cane and the strap have done their work for the day ; and the poor little things, in their hideous workhouse livery, stand huddled and frightened together in the corner of a bare room ; or else in a gravelled court, miscalled a play-ground, utterly destitute of the smallest amusement, without even the swinging pole of our youth or anything to make them forget for one instant that they are " Pauper . Brats," as the poor themselves ca ll them. And who are these children ? The orphans of respectable labourers, or the offspring of a sin which let none who dwell in sheltered homes dare to condemn too loudly—is it their fault that they came into this hard world ? 'And when those children grow older, with all sense of honest independence and freedom, and childhood's joy crushed out of them, what is their fate ? If they are boys apprenticed to the worst and hardest masters, and to those who ask the lowest premium ; for none of the better class will take a workhouse lad. " They are all sneaks," was said to the writer the other day, " and good for nothing when they come out of the house." Or if they are girls, harsh domestic service is equally their portion, maids of " all work," as it is too justly called, overworked and under-fed sometimes, as in a case known to the writer a few years since, given food only every other day. Not two months ago, in a Wiltshire parish, one of these poor girls drowned herself in sheer desperation. She had told one of her companions in misfortune "that she could bear it no lon g er; that cruel as her mistres was, she would rather die than go back to the ' House;' that she didn't believe God could be the God of the poor," and so she went to her account. And sup posing the " eligible" place for the workhouse girl at the proper age be not found, what then ? At fourteen she is separated from her companions and placed in the ablebodied women's ward. Do our readers know what that means ? In this ward are all those poor creatures, hardened in vice, who in winter are driven to seek some shelter from the piercing cold of the streets. They are utterly bad, reckless, and depraved, and, with the ingenuity of devils, resolve to employ their leisure time in perverting the pure and innocent girls or young widows who may be thrown in their way. The language of these women is such that re spectable tradesmen, employed in the premises, have refused to work within hearing of their words. An inquiry was set on foot by a late eminent Cabinet Minister as to the state of the unions in his own county on this head. The returns were appalling. The masters and chap lains of the workhouses, one after the other, gave evidence as to the frightfully , demoralizing effect of this atrocious system, whereby young girls were literally trained in vice. They stated that in one week after the children had gone into those wards, their manners and dispositions seemed to change': that they became saucy, bold, impudent, and bad. In one or two houses efforts had been made to check the evil by building separate wards for known prostitutes ; and a clause in the new Poor law Act was proposed, making it compulsory to erect a distinct wing or rooms for this class of persons, on the very true and righteous plea that as the guardians were compelled to provide an hos pital for physical diseases, much more was it in cumbent on those entrusted with the care of public morals to keep their orphans free from the more deadly infection of vice and its consequent misery. Yet nothing, after all, was done; the statesman died ; other interests engrossed the public mind ; and the evil remains to this day, and bears its bitter fruit year by year, filling our gaols and penitentiaries. This is only, after all, but a part of the system which has substituted the poli tical economists and the policeman for the apostle of charity. Mind—we do not say the philanthro pist. With all his anxiety for the good of his species and the improvement of the human race, he cannot meet evils of this gigantic nature. Chris tian charity alone will suffice, for it sustains its ex ertions by fixing its eyes on a higher object than the misery it relieves. " What is not done for God in this matter," says a noted writer, " is done but uncertainly as well as scantily, and soon wearies of the unlovely and exacting poor." It is the similitude of Jesus which beautifies poverty and transforms our service into one of loving de votion to Him as seen in His poor and suffering members. Day by day our papers teem with startling revelations of the cruelty, neglect, and iniquity which goes on within those workhouse walls. The leading journal fell foul of the author of ".Impressions of Spain," because she ventured on a comparison between similar insti-• tutions in that country and in England. Yet, when our present system is universally repro bated by men of every shade of opinion, and the voice of our poor is crying out to Heaven against our so-called relief of their necessities, would it not be worth while W consider, DIRECTORS.

The object of the Company is to acquire three valuable mining properties in Carmarthenshire ; that is to say, New Nantymwyn, Gilfacb, and Glan-Towy, New Nantymwyn is a continuation westward of the celebrated Nantymwyn Mines. These Mines have been worked to immense profit for centuries, and appear to be perferctly. ipexhaustible,'. :Some kik - nialy:;bp.lormed . of the great value of these Lodes froUl the fact that, they, occupy a channel of 180 feet in width, consisting of six divisions or lodes, and that a sink on one of them is , now yielding eighteen tons of rich quality ore, worth upwards of £2OO per fathom for Lead. 2dly. The Gilfach property consists of. a Lead Mine, worked to some extent and furnished with water machi nery, in which a discovery of Lead Ore has been made by an Adit. It is proposed by the Company to extend the shaft downwards on this course of ore, as well as to ex plore another discovery of ore in the sett on tho Lady Eliza No. 2 Lode,where there js a good back of ore ground cropping up to and extending a considerable length along the surface. 3dly. Gla,n-Towy is an old Lead Mine. Shafts, which have yielded Lead Ore in some quantity, exist on the top of the hill, and the present Company propose to drive an Adit to prove the value of the Lode under the old sinks. Plans taken from the Ordnance Survey, showing the ex act position of the Lodes, together with ground plans of the estate sections of the Mines, and reports by skilful mining engineers, are appended, and will be forwarded on application to the Secretary. Specimens of the ore may be seen at the Company's Offices. Taking into consideration the position of the Mines, the highly favourable prospects, and the return of ore being immediately available, the Directors feel confident that, with the outlay proposed, profits equal to the adjoining mines will he participated in by the Shareholders. Applications for Shares, to bs accompani , al with the deposit of ss. per Share, may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, or the Bankers. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

(From the Times) The attention of the House of Commons was un duly occupied last nightthe claims of the by com pound householders. More important points for consideration were slurred over in an elaborate dis play of familiarity with the incidents of rating, and an opportunity was afforded to the Ministry of putting aside the true ques tions at issue. The house is thus in d anger of encountering the risk Mr. Gladstone very properly foreshadowed, of being forced to ac ce d e to t h e pro posal to go into committee without th e secur i t i es for the amend ment of the bill whi c h are i mpera tively demanded. As far, for example, as anything was said last night, we might almost suppose that the dual vote was to be defended. We do not, indeed, believe the Ministry capable of so misunderstanding the temper of the house and of the country as to insist on a pro posal which would at any stage insure the rejec tion of their bill, but they were able by the course taken in discussion to defer its abandonment. Mr. Hardy even professed a desire to have the ques tion argued, and if the House of Commons were a mere debating society, we might be interested in the array of reasons which could be marshalled against this most invidious and irritating proposal. The lodger question also was left almost wholly untouched ; yet nothing can be more certain than that without a lodger franchise the prospect of a settlement is hopeless. The electoral returns from which Mr. Gladstone quoted so lengthily conveyed a lesson beyond those he drew from them—that any reduction of the occupying qualification must, in the metropolitan districts, be nugatory. The alone, is is the man who hard-headed artisan, London. The educated bachelor,l n o e d e g d s er , e n a f n rta d hne f t hr h ius e ge ma l l o e df lte e r r ikn, come within this category. They are the men whose enfranchisement Mr. Roebuck rightly de clared was a principal object of Reform. Why should not all these be enfranchised? Mr. Hardy faintly suggested that they would be enfranchised as tax payers, but we do not understand why a simple qualification should he put aside in favour of another open to all kinds of abuse. Still less is it easy to conceive why, on the grounds of the balance of power, there should be any hesitation in conced ing a franchise which, beyond most others, would meet the wishes of the classes who desire the privi lege of voting. The necessary qualification of resi dence must always keep the number of Lodger voters within moderafe limits ; t 'ley would be found only in the largest borougha ; and we should not be disposed to look upon it as otherwise than a gain were the number of artisan lodger-voters in a metropolitan constituency numerous enough to ex ercise a direct influence on the choice of a mem ber. These cardinal points of the Dual Vore and of the lodger franchise were unfortunately left to amateur debaters and professional advocates. Lord Atnberley, indeed, " without presumption," wished the house "to treat the question on broader grounds" than had been attempted, but he charmed in vain. When. the debate was ad journed to this evening the intention of the Go vernment was as obscure as ever, and mainly, as we conceive, because the policy of the Opposition was not clearly defined. We s h ou ld be the last to suggest any factious or indiscriminating antagonism to the Ministerial proposals. We desire to see the question which has agitated the country for years settled on a firm and endUring basis. But, because we desire this, we must insist on the necessity of de- I'ItIC E.... 4d.

Miscellaneous French News. (From Correspondents rje the Anglo-A mcwirqn Times) PARIS, March 20. • Monsieur Tillers' great speech in support of his interpellation on foreign affairs was delivered last Thursday. As early as six o'clock in the morning the neighbourhood of the Corps Legislatif was in vaded by an eager crowd desirous of listening to one of the most eloquent orators of the age. More than 10,000 applications for admission had been addressed to the Deputies by their' friends, but as the galleries could only accommodate a few, the greater portion had to leave disappointed in their expectations. Those who remained were, in due time installed in the balconies. Among them were remarked the Prince Napoleon, Mustapha Pacha, a large number -of Senators, and various literary and diplomatic celebrities. The orator commenced speaking at about two o'clock, and continued for nearly four hours, resting only ten minutes from beginning to end. At the close of the speech his voice and delivery showed some fatigue, but all was eloquently and impressively pronounced. Monsieur Thiers is seventy-five years of age, in the full en joyment of his intellectual faculties, which are of such vigour and fecundity that they impressed all who heard him on this great occasion with the power and authority of the gift of speech. A society of learned men is now assembled at Geneva for the purpose of issuing a new translation of the Bible: A facetious French writer remarks on this subject that "the Bible is one of those books which the savants translate every two or three years, without being satisfied with their . labours. They are less occupied in discovering the true sense of a text than in finding fault with their predecessors." For our part we are pleased to know that the good Book is to be again translated. Perhaps things will be brought to light which we did not dream of before. We believe firmly all that ' this Book tells us ; but, at the same time, would not be sorry to know if it really tells us what we be lieVe. An interesting and touching ceremony took place ast Friday in a church in this city. The Society of Foreign Missions was assembled to witness the departure for distant countries of some thirty or forty pioneers of the Catholic faith. It is a remark able fact that, of this number, who are sent out every year, but few, if any, ever return. They either suffer martyrdom from the hands of the savages they are sent to Christianise, or fall victims to disease. _ _ _ This well-known fact gave a melancholy interest to the spectacle, as the missionaries were receiving the parting blessings and embracing of their Chris tian brethren and relatives. _ _ The twelfth birthday of the Prince Imperial was celebrated here on the 16th March. The theatres and public buildings were decorated with flags in the day, and illuminated at night in honour of the event. The cession of the statues of the Plantagenets to England has caused so much dissatisfaction in France that it is hoped the former Government will decline to accept the generous offer of the Emperor. In compliance with the will of Henry 11. (Plantagenet) and Richard Cur de Lion, their bodies were brougllt back to Anjou, their tombs to be erected in the Abbey of Fontevrault, and their statues executed by French artists. Advertising "theatre curtains" have been introduced into the Paris theatres. This experiment was at tempted several years ago, but had so much Ameri can progressiveness in it, that it did not please the delicate sensibilities of refined Parisians. Now it has been resumed, and several days ago in the centre of a curtain, written in glaring capitals, the following advertisement appeared, as a bait to credulous visi tors to the Exposition General Agency of International Marriages.— Happiness Guaranteed for One Year." This was a little trop fort, and after some difficulty the enter prising undertaker of " happiness guaranteed" was prevailed upon to efface it. • Captain Hudson, of New York, and the owner and commander of the celebrated little ship, Red, White, and Blue, has arrived in Paris. He crossed the Channel in his ship, leaving Dever in a severe gale of wind, and arrived safe and well in the quiet waters of the Seine. The little ship is now lying some distance below Paris, where she will remain until brought to the Pompeian Palace, where it will be on exhibition during the Eiposition. This is the first American craft that ever registered as arriving in Paris. I learn that the Rev. J. S. C. Abbott, the his torian, has received an autograph letter from the Emperor, giving him permission to present to the Prince Imperial a magnificent work, in three vo lumes, on the American Indians. The agent for American artists at the Exposition Mr. Avery, has arrived in Paris with a fine collection of paintings, bronzes, and statuary. There are many magnificent specimens of art among them, and the most celebrated were executed by Bierstadt, Colmore, Huntington, Hart-Leutze, Weir, and Dix, artists well known to the American public. Among the recent arrivals in the Exposition is the celebrated "Ferris Gun" from the United States. It has already been placed in the American Department. This is considered the most wonderful invention of the day in the way of light artillery, and is capable, it is said, of throwing a 121 b. ball the distance of nine miles. The restaurant in the American de partment of the Exposition building is being rapidly finished. A ladies' parlour has been added, beau tifully furnished, and supplied with one of Clicker ing's best pianos. The proprietors have engaged the services of fifteen coloured men, so that it will be carried on a la mode Americaine. It was my intention to give in this letter a slight description of the interior of the Exhibition build ing, and of some of the contents which have already . arrived. However, as the interior is still in dis order, and the exhibitors have not arranged all of their goods yet, I will defer a description of it to a future letter. Mention may be made of a new in vention, which will no doubt prove very beneficial to the public not only of America but throughout Europe. It consists of a new style of railway car riage, particularly adapted to the stteets of cities, but which can be also used with steam. The inven tor has also contrived a railway different from any thing yet used, and so arranged as to suit all kinds of carriages or vehicles. The rails are of a con clave form, and carriages can pass in the grooves, in or out, and across them without obstruction. The weight and cost of these rails will be less than those of ordinary railways. The cone-pointed rim of the wheels of the carriages, of smaller circle than the concave of the rails, makes a small bearing-point of the metal to sustain the entire weight, thereby causing little friction while running. The wheels are so formed as to assist in keeping the track, and also to get out of the grooves when necessary to come out, by acting as a wedge upon an inclined plane, and they will run on other parts of the road or pav ing as well as wheels of carriages of ordinary con struction. The inventor of the above described car riage and railway is Mr. Z. Eastman, an American, from the State of New York, and at present the United States' Consul at Bristol, England. PARrs, March 19.
