SECRETARY TO THE BOARD OF WORKS.—Rumours are abroad that Mr. Josiah Wilkinson, the representative of St. Pancras, who has taken upon himself the office of hon. secretary to the Metropolitan Board of Works, is a candidate for the appointment of permanent paid se cretary. In reference to the appointment of the chair man pro tem., it will be remembered that the board were exceedingly particular that no gentleman should be permited to fill that office who was a candidate for the permanent and paid chairmanship of the board, as it was felt that it would give him an undue prestige and advantage over his competitors. This was no doubt a very proper precaution, and the general feeling amongst those whom the rumour has reached, as to the probable candidature of Mr. Wilkinson as paid secretary, is that the same course which was pursued by the Central Board of Works with respect to the chairman should have been adopted with respect to the secretary, namely, that a pledge thathe "did not intend to offer himself for the paid office" should have been exacted from the gentleman who volun teered his services as honorary secretary. It was believed to be the impression of the board, so far as we can learn, that the pledge that applied to Mr. Nicholay, as the chairman pro tem., equally applied to Mr. Wilkinson as the honorary secretary. Amongst the other candidates in the field are mentioned—Mr. Woolrych, the present secretary of the Sewers' Commission ; Mr. L. C. Herts lett, secretary to the old commission ; Mr. J. Hall Buckston, accountant, of Holles-street, Cavendish square ; and Mr. E. R. Cook, barrister-at-law, of 10, New-square, Lincoln's-inn, the author of an edition of the " Metropolis Local Management Act, with Analysis and Notes,'- and the framer of the Metropolitan Burials ' and Building Acts and Whitechapel Improvement Acts, E carried by the Derby Government.—Observer. THE RETURN ,OF THE IMPERIAL GUAM!). PARIS,. Saturday, 'Dec. , 2o, p• m. There is no ection of the armies of France more popu lar than the Imperial Guard ; none whose history awakes more interesting memories, or whose name is associated with more noble traditions. Poetry andi painting have contributed to preserve their fame. From the palaoe to the cottage ; in the most elaborate, production of the artist to the most unskilful daub of the village reign painter ; from the most carefully finished engraving to the rudest wood-out that decorates the white walls of the country wineshop, the Grenadier of the Guard sttinds next to the Emperor himself, as the type and model of the military virtues of the French soldier ; and every- Where, on all occasions, and in every class, to have been ricitx de la Mlle is' the passport to respect and ad miration. With that costume every' child is familiar, and veriest gamin 'Paris, who respects nothing, looks upon it with reverence, and feels stirring within him the ambition of being some day worthy to rival the heroes with whose history ho is so familiar. The existence of the Guard dates before the empire, though it was after that period that it acquired its great celebrity. It existed under the Consulate, and not the st .‘rkable of its triumphal entries into Paris was England that the Imperial Guards was completely organised. It was intended to form the reserve of the whole army, and as such more immediately under the command of the Emperor himself. Each corps com prised four divisions, varying i❑ strength from 5,000 to 7,000 men, commanded by generals of division, who received their orders from the general of the corps. The Imperial Guard was considered so essen tially a corps crelite that it was only ou some great occa sion, either to turn the scale of victory when yet doubt ful or to serve as the last rampart against the victorious enemy that was employed. On the hard-fought field of Borodino the Guard was not brought up. It was too precious an instrument to be used, except on the most important occasions, and the Emperor himself declared that he felt the necessity of preserving it unimpaired in order to strike a decisive blow in the greater battle which he expected the enemy would fight in the plains in front of Moscow. Had the Guard been seriously damaged at Borodino it is doubtful whether the army, of which it was the heart and soul, would have been able to repass the Niemen. It was to the Old Guard that the last farewell was addressed at Fontainebleau, when the Emperor declared that he bad ever found them in the path of honour and of glory, and that in adversity as in prosperity they never ceased to be models of bravery and fidel►ty. It was to them that pathetic farewell was addressed ; it was their eagle that he last pressed to his bosom before setting out for Elba, and it was on their standard he imprinted his last kiss, while these weather-beaten war riors, whose name was synonymous with glory, wept like women at that bitter parting from the chief whom they believed they had then seen for the last time. One of the first acts of the Restoration was the disso lution of that noble corps. They had, in the first in stance, been intrusted with the guard at the Tuileries, but were speedily removed, and their place supplied by troops obtained from Switzerland and La VenVie. They were even removed from Paris under pretence of avoiding quarrels with the troops of the allies who occupied the capital ; the officers were sent to their homes, there to await their ulterior destination, and the most stringent orders given to the troops who had returned from foreign garrisons to prevent the slightest allusion to the name of the fallen Emperor. The new force wearing uniforms unknown to the army of Imperial France, and never stained on the field of battle, supplanted the old troops and the National Guard in the service of the Royal palace. These changes were submitted is in silence, but they were never effaced from they heart of the army, and that dream of security ob tained from such measures was soon to have a terrible The organisation of the Guard by the present Emperor is of too recent a date to require notice of any particu lar kind, and the events which gave interest to its en try into the capital this day are familiar to every one. The ceremony has been looked forward to with much interest, and the entire popuia'ion of Paris seemed de sirous of associating themselves with this military gte. There were not many among the multitude who wit nessed the exciting spectacle that did not count among these gallant troops a relative or a friend, and the excla mations which hailed their presence proved to the sol , (hers of Alma, Inkerman, and Sebastopol what sympathy really exists towards them in the hearts of the people. At 10 o'clock this morning while an immense crowd thronged the main passages leading to the Bastille and filled its approaches the battalions of the National Guard and the regiments composing the army of the East formed the double line, which reached from the Place Vendome to the Bastille, along which the Imperial Guard, and the 20th, 50th, and 70th Regiments of the Line were to pass. The 39th, which bad much suffered before Sebastopol, has not yet arrived, though it was hoped it would form pert of the cortege. It is hardly necessary to say that great preparations were made to give this remarkable fete all the solemnity which was due to it. Near the Place de la Bastille, at the entrance of the Bou levard Beaumarchais, a lofty triumphal arch was erected, coloured mo as to represent a structure of red granite. On the frieze of the monument were inscribed the words, "A la gloire de 1 . Armee d'Oricnt." A shield with an azure field bore in letters of gold the name of Sebastopol, and wag encircled with various military emblems. On the summit were the Imperial arms, surrounded by a cluster of flags, and four golden eagles, with outspread wings, occupied the sides. Two gilt statues, representing Victory, appeared on the right and left of the two facades of the monu ment, and held in their hands crowns of laurel. On the frieze were inscribed the names of the different corps d'arrnje ; a bas-relief which adorned the arch represented France and the muse of history. On the sides were in .scribed the names of the principal battles fought and won against the Russians—namely, Bomarsund, Eupa toria, Kerteh, Kinbourn, Sweaborg, Balaklava, Kami xsh, the Alma, Inkerman, Traktir, Kougkil, the Male, khoff, and Silistria. Four lofty poles, with oriflamines 1 floating from the summit, were planted in front of the triumphal arch. The whole line of the Boulevards was adorned with flags and streamers, and at regular inter vals Venetian masts supported trophies and shields, and immense banners with the national colours, on which glittered in gold the initials of the Emperor and Em press, and inscriptions in honour of the victorious troops. In some places platforms richly ornamented were erected, and which, from an early hour of the day, were occupied by crowds of operatives eager to behold the im posing spectacle, which appeared like one long triumphal avenue. Opposite the theatre of the Porte St. Martin a second triumphal arch particalarly attracted the atten tion of the crowd, from the richness and elegance of its decorations, and which,,like that on the Boulevard Beau marchais, displayed emblems and devices illustrative of the great event of the day. The Cirque d I'lmperatrice and the other theatres along the line of march were also decorated. The Rue de la Paix, through which the troops were to pass, and the Place Vendome were dressed out with banners ; and two trophies, surmounted by the Imperial eagle, and formed of clusters of flags ar ranged in tasteful symmetry, decorated the Bazaar at the entrance of that noble street. The facade of the Hotel of the Minister of Justice, which is in the Place Vendome, nearly opposite the co lumn, was richly decorated. A canopy of crimson velvet, embroidered in gold, extended from the windows of the first floor, where a large balcony had been prepared for the reception of the Empress, the ladies of the Court, and the members of the Diplomatic Corps who represent the belligerent Powers. At 11 o'clock th e c oup d'ceil was very fine. The wea ther was fine, thoughlthe sun did not show himself. The more genial air which has succeeded for a time the bitter cold of the previous days, was admirably suited to the occasion, and the wind kept in constant movement the long line of banners and streamers which extended to the Bastile. The crowd was immense— quite as much so as on the occasion of Queen Victoria's visit. The people were everywhere in the lateral streets of the Boulevards, the windows an balconies were crammed with specta tors, and group d s climbed to the roof of the houses. Seen from the windows there was scarce an inch of ground vacant, and as the hour advanced every eye was strained in the direction of the Rue de la Paix, by which the Em peror was to pass, on the way to the Bastille. At a bullets. of the part the battalion had taken in the campaign of the Crimea, and dwelt o❑ the dangers they had braved, the privations they had suffered, and the glory they had won. At once the drums heat to arms, and the distant shout announced the approach of the Emperor, and in a few minutes his Majesty, preceded by the Guides, and followed by his brilliant staff and no less brilliant escort, entered the square in which the Pillar of July stands. Ile wai received at the Bastille by Marshal Ma,gnan ; and the expeditionary troops, having placed their kepis on the points of their bayonets, cheered him with deafen ing cries of "Vivo l'Entpereurr in which they were joined by the immense multitude which covered the Place de la Bastille and the adjoining Boulevard. The Emperor slowly rode before the lines of the troops, re turning to the centre, near the Pillar of July, 1830, and the officers having drawn up around him, his Majesty delivered, in a firm and strong voice, the following ad dress to the troops : " Soldiers,—l have come to meet you as in other times the Roman Senate went to the gates of Rome to meet her victorious legions. I have come to tell you that you have deserved well of your country. " My emotion is great, for with the happiness I feel at again seeing you are mingled painful regrets for those who are no more and deep sorrow that I could not my. self lead you on to battle. " Soldiers of the Guard and soldiers of the Line, I bid you welcome. "Yon all represent that army of the East whose cou rage and whose perseverance have invested with new lustre our eagles, and won for France the rank which is her due. "The country, alive to all that is accomplished in the East, receives you with all the greater pride that she estimates your 'efforts by the obstinate resistance of the enemy. "I have recalled you, though the war be not termi• nated, because it is only just to relieve in their turn the regiments that have suffered most. Each will thus be able to take his share in glory, and the country which maintains 600,000 soldiers has an interest in maintaM ing in France a numerous and experienced army ready to march wheresoever necessity may require. Preserve, then, carefully the habits of war, and fortify yourselves in the experience you have already acquired. Hold yourselves in readiness to respond, if need be, to my appeal ; but yet on this day forget the hardships of a soldier's life, return thanks to God for having spared you, and march proudly in the midst of your brethren in arms and your fellovr•citizens whose acclamations await you." After We addrefl, not one word of whiela W RTo»b ty the troops, and whioh w as received with the londe3t ac clamations, Marshal Magnan assumed the command of the Crimean corps, who formed into columns, and the cortege of the Emperor returned in the same order to the Place Vendome. The troops then commenced their movement in the following order, preceded by the Schools of the Etat -111,,j0r and St. Cyr :—A detachment of mounted Chas seurs ; the Sappers and hand of the ?Atli Regiment of the Line ; Marshal Magnan and his Staff ; the General of Division of the expeditionary corps ; the 20th, 50th, and 97th Regiments of the Line ; General Mellinet, who bore on his face the noble scar he received in the san guinary action of the Bth of September ; the Staff of the General ; the Foot Chasseurs of the Imperial Guard ; the Zonaves of the Guard, the two Regiments of Volti geurs of the Guard, the Artillery and Engineers of the Guard, the two regiments of Grenadiers, and the Regi ment of Gendarmes of the Guard. The whole of the troops were in heavy marching or der, and were preceded by such of the wounded of each corps as were able to walk. As the regiments passed they were received with the loudest acclamations, and the ladies never ceased waving their handkerchiefs. As each commanding officer rode at the head of his corps he raised his sword and saluted the fair enthusiasts who welcomed them. Brigadier Gen. Cler, who distinguished himself as Col. of the Zouaves ; Brigadier-Gen. Blanshard late Colonel of the Grenadiers of the Guard, who was at the bead of the Voltigeure ; and another commanding officer whose pale and haggard features and mutilated arm told of severe wounds, were particularly remarked ; and the greeting that met General Canrobert, who rode at the head of the division, was, it is superfluous to say, of the heartiest kind. As the column passed along se veral of the people rushed in between the ranks to grasp ' the hand of some old friend, and whisper a word of wel come. The Zonaves came in for a great share of the enthusiasm. The cortege was closed by a crowd of men in blouses, who marched in military order, and followed the column to the Place Vendome. When the Emperor reached the Place Vendome, the acclamations redoubled, and cries of " Vice l'Empercur !" " Vice l' Imperatriee I" were raised on all sides. His Majesty took his station with his back to the Pillar of the Grand Armee, and facing the balcony of the Ministry of Justice, where the Empress shortly afterwards ap peared surrounded by her Ladies of Honour, the officers of her household, the representatives of the Allied Powers, &c. All the windows of the square were lined with ladies attired in the richest toilets. The spectacle was truly splendid. According as the troops reached the square they defiled before their Majesties, crying " Vice l'Empereur" and " Vice l'lmperatrice."

The witness further stated that Benda!l had induced him to take spirits, and that he had sold him on one occasion two gallons, and on two others one-and•a half gallons each time, for the whole of which he paid him 3/. The witness was severely cross-examined with a view to indule the magistrates to discredit his testimony. It waR ultimately resolved to remand the case, admitting ).1i the piisoners to bail.
