The Queen and the Emperor arrived at the Tuileries frosm St. Cloud at halt-past two ; their. Majesties were in an open carriage, and were accompanied by the Prince's Royal. TseYal velecle was escorted by cuirassiers. As the Queen passed, loud shouts of " Vive la Reine I" were raise', and her Majesty graciously ac knoe ledered them.. The Queen and -Emperor, having been jained by Prince Albert, afterwards proceeded to the Muzeum of the Louvre. The Imperial party dined at the TuVeries, and at rearsy ten o'clock set off fur the ball at the Hotel de Ville. The exttricr of the building presented a scene of the most striking character, whil-t below the windows were displayed shields of crimson velvet, having the cipher of the Queen and that of the Emperor interlaced. From the summit of the centre tower floated the broad etati daids of England and France, whilst below, in front of the statue of Elenry IV., was erected a wide tent &dipped with blue ,draperies, to receive the principal guests. The whole front was splendidly illuminated by jets of gas. Eight gigantic p)ratniiial stands, placed two by two, presented a luxuriant-mass of coloured lamps, most harmoniously blended s whilst opposite, at the extre mity of the wide space which stretches out in front of the building, wersi placed an equal number, similarly disposed. Two grand entrances bad been prepared to the general suite of roonis thrown open. From the ves tibule, at which the Queen was to alight, a wide stair , case, the walls of which were hid from sight by ever greees and a profusion of the richest flowere, led up to the State apartments, but leaving the Court Louis XIV. first to be traversed. This court, which not many , months Lack was open to every wind, has now been permanently covered in, and was on the present occa sow transformed into a ball of wor.drous beauty. The chief ornament was a staircase placed exactly under the central lustre, arid erected expressly for the occasion. Right opposite the grand staircase, from toe centre of the room, sprang with indescribable lightness a wile fight of steps, which et about six feet from the ground separated to the right and I , ft, to wind upwards by a curve of the most graceful se e ptiawide landing above. Flowers ent slued their branches and tendrils round the gilt rings of the staircase, the balustrade of which was covered with crint-on asd gold. At each side below, at the spot from which the b dustrade took its starting point, stood, on a lofty pede , tal, a bronze female figure, otally of life s ize ; one an Egyptian. and the other a Greek, bearing air a cluster of lamp , to sui: - those so profusely lavished around. Toe stair case was composed of a wide lauding at about five feet front the gentled, from which steps struck off to the right and left to the rooms shove, round a nrotto which stood two statues, ose of France on -the right, and the other of England on the left, leaning on each other to impls Force, and bear ing between them an olive branch to represent Union.. At the sides were two Naiades in a reclining posture, representing the Seine and the Thames, and each holding an urn from which gushed d below. floorutrhlttaitzopifilitilunsgstthreeagnriaitilosy.p.ahrilechlirwrgaswaptiaecreinto a wide At the point-where the staircase reached the mason work of the building above, one of the windows of the Council Chamber had been transformed into a doorway, hung with crimson velvet enihroidered in gold. In the Council Chamber a bust of Queen Victoria was placen, in the midst of flowers, over the fireplace of the right, and one of Prance Albert on the left. Beyond stosd the grand ball-room where the Queen was to appear to the eight thou. aid guests who ha I re.- ceived invitations. The place of-honour was exactly opposite the wide entrance from the Salle des Ca,ria.tidee, and overthe place assisned for her Majesty and the rest of her party, stretched a magnificent line of hangings of crimson velvet looped up with torsados of gold of the. most gorgeous character, and the centre point terminat ing in a royal crown of immense size. Six chairs of state, crimson satin and gold, were ranged below await ing the imperial and royal guests. The anxiety to be present early exceeded anything ever seen at these celebrated balls, as carrages had ar rived even before the boil ing was open to receive the (From. the,Times of this day.) • In the discussions Upon the theory, of fortification g v s n t i s t , y a o n i d t h a e t nine t a o t 'e w l o h c i ls ch t c h b es a, c i rrso of f d t w at a e s i r ) l a e , rre be I , n n which the memorable operations before Sebastopol beta, ranged.

Arrived nearly at the top of the gallery, the Prince, tinning aside, proceeded to tine great staircase, arel . de. , scending it went across the trensept to the . pourtour of the Panorama.

The Austrian equipithnt for 'a siege train' reckons:l7B ; the Prussian, 142 ; the - French. at Antwerp, had 144. the whole, it has been concluded that 100 pieces of heavy artillery would be as many as could be brought into battery aeabist a fortress in a hostile country, and it is, in fact, upon this assumption that the seperierity of Mr. Fergusson's fert dePends, inasmuch as these 10 0 guns could be answered by more than twice res Bat the Alliee at Sehastopol have not only a much greater number than thii,,but the pieces theniselves ate of a, larger calibre than is Usual in - battering trainee Again, garrisons are usually of 3,000, 5,000, 10,000, or perhaps 15,000 men-30 000 being a very large garritnn indeed. But what has been the number of the Russians in the Crimea I e • • ' We own ourselves somewhat at a loss to discover any facts' Which . may be regarded as establi.hing new laws hi the science of f.reifications generally: Earthwork. have, no doubt, been employed, more largely and effectually than formerly, hut they have not been built upon the new principle or yielded ally new results. That 300 or 400 p sees ef ceneon, supported by a b - sr.ze army, should produce a greater effect than a far smaller number, sup ported only by a lindied and exhaustible garrison, is ' eel ia,inly nothing extraordinary. The strength of granite in resisting slot seems to be still uncertain, for the ex periments at Renareend and Seba,t-ipol appear in op , 13wsitl,in to each other ; an-I there was no trial of its strength at S weaboro where the shel Is thrown by the mor ti-ir-bout.pa,ise,l clear over the beiet,Oles. We do nut, then, see that anything has occurred to affect tee general con clu , inns respecting the attack a n d defence of fortified places. If eerthworke are employed instead of masonry, they must either be moneted with a most powerful force artill• ry, or they will be liable to be carried by steno. If the artillery is so increased, so must be the garrison, and PO intuit be the Casualties, and how are the resources of the place to support snob exhaustion ? So long as the operations of a siege presume the first condition of a siege —viz., that' the garrison shall 'be confined to the resources actually contideed in the . place at the..period of investment—so long must the means of the attack be superior to those of the defence, unless some species of rainpart can be discovered which gunpowder cannot de stroy, and which the assailants cannot surmount. Thi s discovery has not, in our opinion, been made in any form of earthworks Abundance of guns is, of cotirse a moat valuable condition, but abundance will be of little use ui:less it implies relative superieeily; ;te e, if t h is i s implied, the secret of the defence will be in the cannon, and not in the ramp:sits mi which they are mounted. SPIRIT OF TEE PUBLIC JaURIVALS. ( From the Times of th;s dayj , . There are perfstnars of stich modest pretensions - that even if we cle 'seat think their cause very hopeful, on the other hand we could hover have the heart to discourage them. Of these the most inoffensive, and- with the Most daltne, a; leatt,. to a respectf u l neutrality, are those gentlemen who take up I,lse. wholes,me and con venient view of business. The EarlY Clasirg Atm: ciation, 'the del - natal for a eeekly holyday or half - holyday, and Mr. Be;therton's twelve •o'clock motion be am ca o l xl le rtt of unnecessary wear and tear in all business, 1 i a t b n l i e nen to se Tule are movements en c ts er t t e a o ini q y uie t t he a re tar i r s ea a s n ot lic or private. Everybody works too hard—either always or 'at times ; awl the occasional recreation of travelling 3,000 Miles; in a month may afford excitement, but no rest either for body or mind. So we are disposed to feel very good natured towards a proposal by an ex cellent young nobleman . to tone the Parliamentary see 'lion with some. little regard to coMfort and health. Lord Stanley gives the be possilda reasons for begin ning the session in the middle of November, confining the Christmas recess between December 15 and January 15, thus gaining twolond months by the usual time fir (peeing the session at the beginning of February, raid for deducting.these two months from the present end of the session—that is, fixing the prorogation at the middle of June. He proposes, in fact, that we should continua to give seven months a year to public business, that we should stick close to it, and take it at a time when Na- . . tura shuts up, it stead of that when she comes out with all her charm. Such a prepo;al is a good one, and . We, cart only Shy we Wish Lord Stith* was in a position to' give it effect. Nothing can be more miserable, not to say scandalous, than the fag end of a Parliamentary session,—houses roade with difficulty by the use of "the whip ;" the smallest possible divisions on im e portant questioas ; great 'eraser:s ft Kited for want . of ',umbers and itnpetus to carry them, and jobs of all kinds smugeled throneli Houses ties thin, too nartisan,• too idle; or ton corrupt, to care about them. With half the inesiness of the session still to be dene, members be gin to pair off on-the plea of illness or engagements, and set cff to the country, only learning from the newspa pers the success of hid measures, the' failure of good ones, and a general shipwreck of public bUsine.s—all through the sttempt tai keep Parliament sitting through out the Deg Days to the beginning of September Of course, we ourselves are only too much interested in the success of such a proposal, Nebody can doubt which way our opinion lies. We have deprecated a hundred times that waste of Parliamentary time in the earlier months of the sepeien which throws all its real business to the end. The sight of spring flowers, of the Lay harvest, the, glorions midsunimer days, and the equally enjoyable midsummer nights, appeal to us as they do to other mortals, and anything that Parliament can do, or is likely to do, in the Six weeks or two months after midsummer, compensates very pooey f, r the loss of Nature in . her paltniest beers. But then conies that painful question which has damped the zeal of reformers from the beginning of the world—how is it to be de ne ? The proposition hi one'tO set laws to a body that itself sets the laws ; to prescribe measares to that which defies a 1 measure:, except the 'merest rules of business. There is nothing so uncontrollable as the H ouse o f Commons. Ea ery mein her of that House may speak ten times a eight, and . as long as he likes. Every member may declaim for heurs on a trifle, or say the same thine over arid over again ; and if he deem not' care for a thin' audience, a good deal of interruption, and a very short report in the newspapers, there is no other cheek to his garrulity. For the first half of the session the house will always think questions of OA lence and other party di.cu:sionst much more important than legitilation, so the first half will always be so employed, leaving the actual lawmaking to the i'u'nmer months.' The house works in summer .because it has been idle, desultory, talkative, and quarrelsome in the winter and spriiig. In the fable, the grasshopper came to the ant on the cold winter's day and asked for some food. The proaident ant asked the gresshopper what it had -done in the spring and summer, and the answer wag, that it had danced and sung, "You may ; go on, then, Pinging to your own dancing," said the ant. The House of Commons dwindles into a jaled old hack, dragging on a wretched existence from day t I day, elm-: ply because it has mitepent its finis.' and opportnnities in the earlier part of its career. Ahnut the beginning of June it usually wakes to 'the consciousness o f an ill. spent life, and then sets about to make up for lost time with frantic and generally unsuccessful energy. That is the body which Lord Stanley eraposes to reform ; he Would teach it so to number its days as to anply it , heart to wisdom in winter Or spring—at the beginning of the session, instead of the end.

As afi'ording a comprehensive bird's-eye view of Canada throughout its whole vast dimensions, the work cannot lint I•e regarded with a peculiar and almout grateful satisfaction. For hitherto it hai been diffi cult to obtain any adequate insight into the condi ! tion= Ofthat central 'part of the North American 1 Continent, except after having entered upon a variety of extended and laborious researches. De scriptionn of Canada, there have been heretofore of course in abundance. But those descriptions have, for the most part, been either too minute in de• tail, and therefore voluminous, or too curt and succinct, and therefore' superfici il. For example, as M. Tache has himself intimated_in his " Envoi" —there have been, works relating to this subject, bearing now upon' the history, now upon the eon"- coerce, now upon the social and political conditiorsof the Canadiaass-,-Publications, however, -too fre quently of a character So coniprehensive of their kind as to be beyond the reading capacity of the genera lity in th is age of rai l way and electro-telegraphiccom ueication. Another series of works immediately illustrative of the state of Canada and of the con dition of the Canadians has, according to the honest exception made to them by our author, bewildered by their coinplicated . masses of facts and figures every one but those capable of laying claim' by right to the merit of profound statisticians. Instead of thus aiming so high .as altogether to overshoot the desired mark, namely, the acquisition of some mo , derate share of popularity among contemporary observers, the compiler of the little volume under notice_ has heroin simply endeavoured to afford the reader, in the pleasantest manner imaginable, a rapidly-acquired notion of the chief points relating to the province of Canada, examining the' subj ec t chiefly if not exelusiVely Under - certain economical considerationS.: Accordingly as the readers of this "Outline," therefere, may be Mere or less men of - letters, or men of 'science, politicians, or political economists, they nay individually experience a cer tain amount of disappointment in the course of its ex 'The literary investigator may re- - gret that the book does' not contain more parti culars in relation to Canadian literature—the tou j rist may lament that there is E 0 little comparatively in reference to the picturesque—the natural phi losopher may wish that the volume comprised ad ditional particulars of a scientific character—the political economist may Figs, for something more is .the way of statistics. - Tache confesses as much -in his preliminary review of his own labours ; but all - thee readers together, if not each one amongst thein individnally; can scarcely. fail, he hopes (cud hopes, too, we cannot but think, not wholly with- Out reason) to derive from the general survey taken by our author same rational amount at least ,both of instruction and entertainment. This could ,scarcely fail to be the case with a book compiled by a man of M. Tach6's intelligence, in allusion to a country extending over 40,000-leagues super ticially, embracing 'within its` circumference 2,000,000 inhabitants, and productive annually of wealth equivalent to 500,000,000 francs—a pro vince extending-in one direction to the western ex• 'treinities of Lake Elie and Lake Huron, in air other to the shores of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, in ;another to the northern limits of the United States and of the State of New Bruuswick, and in another to the southern •• boundaries of the vast track of land.,known.as the Hudson's Bay Territory. The Sketch f Canada furnished by M. Tactic - , portrays the province now geographically, now hisiorically, 1.110/V geologically, cow meteorologically, now i n le t forence to its natural productions, now in relation . to its manufactures—delineating subsequently its various means of communication by high-road and water-course, by canal and railway, afterwards prs eeuting to view a compact but sufficient outline of the Civil and PoliticallustitutiOtis Of the Canadians.

Unquestionably, and beyond all doubt, the most picturesque and 'brilliant description of '• The War," from the period of its commencement down to a,,tinie almost immediately eanternPorary., Besides which—what is of still greater importance than either brili'ancy or picturesquenes—the nar ration among all the various accounts of the great contest between the Allie s a nd R uss i a , w hi c h i s, perhaps, the most reliable and trustworthy. Not but that several records of both the recent and the . present campaign, given to the world elsewhere than originally in the columns of the Times, are entitled to no trivial amount of popular considera tion. For example, the serial accounts furnished by their regular correspondents to others among our morning con temporaries, to the. Post and Herald, the Daily ews auct the Morning Chronicle, have been distinguished variously by the merits of prop:lV-fleas and.exactitude. Beyond which, espe cial meutionought, in lik2 manner, to be made of the chapters delineative of the events transpiring before Sebtatopol, chapters which have for some considerable. time past adorned from month to month the familiar and honoured pages of Blach wood's Magazine, Ebony's contributor being no other, we conjecture, than Captain (now Brevet- Major) Ilamley, of the Engineers, already favour ably known to the , readers of Maga as the spark , ling writer of the story entitled " Lady Lee's Widowhood."
