......--________ HERMAJES MONS. JULLIEN'S r NOV. T RO Y IVI S ENAD T E H CO E N A CE T RT R S E. COMMENCE S ATURDAY, N int. 31. JULLIEN has the honour to announce that, it being his ambition to carry on the great and beneficial work with which the name of his father, the late 141. Jullien, is so honourably connec ted, namely, the 1 d . ff mile:: of the best and most wholesome in fluences of i music, by the populari sa ti on Masters, of the works of the Great asters, executed in a style worthy of their ' gen ius, he has entered into an arrangem en t with Mr. Maple son, the Lessee of Her Majesty's Th ea t re, - for a Series of Promenade Concerts, commencing on Satur raber 7, 1863, to be given in that establishment, day, November which been, through the exertion s o f i ts present id having r ector, once more raised to the position of the first lyrical theatre in Europe, becomes peculiarly adapted for the im portant purpose in view. - In the organisation of this great undertaking, M, Jullien hes resolved to adhere and, it possible, improve on the pre • cedent of those brilliant musical entertainment, with which the name he bears is associated, and, accordingly, the pre • parations'which he has made have been on the most exten- FiVO and liberal scale that the existing musical resources of Europe, so far as they were at his command, would allow. The Orchestra, over which M. Jullien will preside, will have for its basis the ORCHESTRA of HER MA JESTY'S THEATRE, which, under the able and skilful training of Signor Arditi, has attained so great a renown for the completeness and perfection of its execution. 'ro this nave been added a number of soloists of celebrity, who have been expressly selected and engaged from the var sus musical estaolishments of the Continent. The Programmes, which will be changed every evening, will present a careful selection of compositions of the most varied styles, and will include invariably, as the present condition of the public taste renders indispensable, works or portions of works by the great classical masters, HA. YDN, MOZART, BEETHOVEN, and MEN - DELSSO EIN. Among the features of the Series of Con certs will be a number of Operatic Selections, which have been expressly arranged for this occasicn ; and of these, one especially worthy to be mentioned is a new Selection from M. Gouncd's Grand Opera of FAUST, arranged by M. Jullien, who feels the more satisfied in giving prrA o k en o ri nence to the great and extraordinarily successful avomt. M. Gounod at these concerts, as it was in HE ced to the JESTY'S THEATRE that it was first' in. , • In order English public, and that it received an interpretation which has not been excelled in any theatre in Bur g is to give the fullest effect to the execution of selection, BAND of the M.

It is with the highest ' re nown satisfaction which will no doubt be shared by the itiblie, that M Jul e ' lien finds himself enabled to introduce . .- into th prospectus o f the forthcoming series of Concerts the world-renowned D ame of the great violinist—SlGNOß SIVORI, who wil l I make his first appearance before the English public, since the last five years, at these Concerts, for which he h as b een exclusively engaged ; t h e celebrated cornet-a-piston player, /e l . Legendre, of Paris and Berlin ; and in order to give an equal brilliancy to the vocal leo os, the valuable and exclu sive services hav e b een obtained of MDLLE. VOLPINI, whose charming performances , during the last season at Her Majesty's Theatre, have raisedher to the position of a popular favourite. That the decorations and general interior arrangements of the ensui ng Concerts will not be in any degree inferior to th( se which have so peculiarly distieguished the " Jul lien's Concerts" of former days, will be readily concluded from the fact that they have been placed under the direc tion of Madame Jullien, whose acknowledged taste and long experience will ensure a result worthy of the most brilliant days of the career of the late M. Jullien. The eclairage, including a superb suite of chandeliers, has been designed and manufactured expressly for this occa sion by Mr. J. L. Harris, 151, Houndsditch. The refresh ment department has been confided to the well-known firm of Epitaux, of the Opera Colennade, and will be carried out with all the elegancies and superior accommodation of the nest French ewes and glaciers. The Reading Room.—Daily Papers (Morning and Even ing), Weekly Papers, Reviews, Magazines, and Periodicals of every description, and the principal journals of Europe, America, the British Provinces and Colonies, will be found on the tables in the Reading Room.

Wood, THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1863, for Mr. BEECHER to tell us since 1850 he has stoutly maintained that " the Union with slavery is a lie," but we are all very well aware that such is not the predominant feel ing of the Federal S:ates or of the LINCOLN Govern ment. The main object of the North undoubtedly is to secure the continuance of the immense profit which they have hitherto derived from Southern slave labour by the vast trade which passed through New York. Let this be restored with its con comitant advantages, and the Fugitive Slave Law, the refusal to hear blacks in evidence, and every other atrocity of the slave trade, will become part and parcel of the C 6 nstitution for an indefinite period, It is this hypocrisy and inconsistency which has disgusted England in the principles of the North, no less than the savage cruelty of the Federals has shocked her in the practice of the war. Long ago one of our sturdy English poets told us a fable of the sort, pointing his moral with the well known " He blamed and protested but joined in the plan He shared in the plunder but pitied the man." We have now a striking instance of the same elas tic sort of theoretical virtue, but it is a little too much to hear it styled "self devotion, love of coun try, and love of God." When we hear of commer cial jealousy, timeserving, ignorance, and misre presentation, suppression and distortion of the truth, quietly ranked among English influences,we are inclined to think that Mr. BEECEIER'S own nation has sat for the likeness. This, it must be remembered, is a specimen of such mild and peace ful oratory as has given great offence to his Ame rican friends. We are inclined to ask, with the peasant who preferred an indirect request to a somewhat hasty tempered monarch, having been assured he was in a particularly good temper, and narrowly escaped with his head for his pains, " What must his Majesty's bad tempered mornings be?" ~ BEL DEMONIO. Mr. Pechter at the Lyceum. The reception accorded to Mr. Fechter en Satur day evening at the Lyceum Theatre, upon the opening of that popular house for the new season, 1863-1864, afforded signal evidence of the estima tion in which that great artist is held by the Lon don public, both for his rare, in some respects, his consummate, genius as an Actor, and for his almost equally rare combination of taste and enterprise as a theatrical manager. Other tokens there were of his popularity —visible at a glance on Saturday— even before the rising of the curtain. The densely cruwded state of the house from floor to roof was one. Another and a still more noteworthy attes tation of the intellectual stand he has taken amongs, us, was the fact that, upon scanning the audience in almost any direction, we could not but recognise, scattered amongst them in stalls, boxes, and dress circle, men of mark in London society of almost all the intellectual professions without one exception. Even the popular preacher was there, in defiance alike of one brief, momentary glimpse of the ballet (the Tarantella in the fifth tableau), and in spite of the threatening that the lengthened hours might eneroach upon the Sunday, a threat so unavoidably realised by reason of the first night's performance as to scare him and others away shortly before the actual arrival of midnight. Plentifully sprinkled amongst the audience, however—to return to our former remark--were celebrities of all the more intellectual professions—drawn thither as ardent admirers of Mr. Pechter as an artist, and, many of them, as warm personal friends ot his es an accomplished scholar and gentleman. There, con spicuous amongst even these, was the great realistic Novelist of the Age, the greatest Humourist in English Literature. There, moreover, were the leading members of the theatrical profession, rive; managers, contemporary actors, distinguished artists, dramatists, authors, critics (as a matter of course) members of the Academy and members of the Legisla ture, members of the bar, and members of the press in abundance. Curiosity had been piqued in regard to the entertainment itself, and, in a peculiar man ner, also in regard to its very appointments. BefOre entering into any particulars, however, we might say here, at once, that the curiosity thus excited was in no way disappointed. We will even add that the eager hopes and expectations of the majo rity were, for the most part, realised and, where realised, were realised to the full. Of the opening piece we should prefer to say nothing whatever. Meaning the comedietta, preposterously entitled " Uncle Baby." That the first piece should have been listened to with impatience, what ever its character, was only, it may be said, what might reasonably have been expected, what was all but inevitable, under the circumstances. But then, unhappily, the dramatic trifle selected as a stop-gap between the filling of the house, at seven, and the commencement of the piece, at twenty minutes after eight on Saturday evening, was one intrinsically laying only too die tinct a claim already applied by us to the title of it. One stentorian voice in the very midst of the per formance of it, called with evident disgust for the descent of the curtain at once ! The courtesy of the rest of the audience, however, permitted it to wind its reel of nonsense out to a close—the curtain falling then, however, amidst evident signs of dis• satisfaction. Then, at length, he it added— more than in compensation —came what was more than the mere bon bouche of the night's feast, came in fact (literally enough) the *piece de resistance. The advent of it, as a grand attrac tion for the new season had during some weeks been announced upon the walls and hoardings ot the metropolis by mysterious placards, reading simply in huge gaudy letters "Bel Demonio, a Love St or y." Wh a t B e l D em on i o might be (even when it h a d b ecome k nown that i was the title of the new play at the Lyceum, and not, as some had supposed, the name of another sensation romance) was left until Saturday evening purely to the imagination. This drama of "Be Demonio," however, had not very long commenced, when the more discerning playgoers, who happened to be gifted with retentive memories, found it to be no stranger at all requiring any very ceremonious introduction. It turned out to be a sufficiently old friend—though one coming to us now with a very new face indeed.

For what purpose are we now violating the honour of the nation that is the most dear to us, and whose integrity and independence is a sacred trust and a precious possession to all subjects worthy of the name of English men. We are not only to violate the present reputations, but we are to take steps to alter whatsoever exists that is prejudicial to the views or not comprehensive enough for the purposes of the new allies. After perusing the details of the trans actiona that have taken place relative to the steam rams of the Mersey, one is tempted to exclaim with Mr. COBDEN, " What next, and next ?" Doubtless before any decisive check can be placed upon their proceedings, the emissaries of the Government will have chosen some ether extraordinary mode of pro cedure and spread amazement abroad, while they arouse indignation at the same time. The loss of property, the stoppage to business, the injury to our merchant service, the insults to our flag on the high seas, where it once waved inviolate and unap proached, all these are as dust in the balance, it it is a question of giving offence to the Yankees. Now we are told that not enough has been done, and that no efforts must be spared to make the Federals believe us sincere, which they seem to doubt. There is something suspicious in all this eagerness and over-haste for propitiation. It is at all times diffi cult to persuade the English people that they should stand in awe of any nation ; but to attempt to put these restrictions into practice to please those who have gone out of their way to heap insults and in dignities upon us, seems very like making a farce of a serious question. It would appear as if the next step would be to summon the Channel fleet to guard these dangerous constructions. The time for ren dering an account has not yet come; but when it does, the retrospection will not be so pleasant as it may now appear to those who are going on their way rejoicing. When an adverse decision has been generally threatened they may well wish tha they had not been so meddlesome in their interfer ence with private rights, and so lax in their guar dianship of public honour.

LONDON, MONDAY, NOV. 2, 1863. The honour of the British flag is dear to every true-born son of the soil—dearer than his own life. Any insult to that sacred representative of our rights becomes to every individual a matter of personal concern. The meanest member of our great nation, go where he will, is surrounded and protected by an invisible safeguard. The proud ancient boast— Civis Romanus sum— is adopted and justified as universally and as efficiently by the sub jects of the British Crown as it was of old by the individual members of the great Roman people. When last year the American captain laid his pre sumptuous hands upon a British vessel, every Englishman felt as if he had received a blow, and was on the instant aroused to demand full apology or redress. We need not call up further examples on the subject, or dilate upon a truth so universally recognised. We are all proud of our national sus ceptibility: Many an English heart thrills with sympathy at that ardent exclamation of SHAR SPERE'S HENRY V.:— " But, if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive! " Mr. BEECHER has bid farewell to England. He has delivered his last address, he has informed us for the last time of his sentiments about slavery, and after assuring us of his goodwill towards us and his gratitude for the warmth of his reception, he has taken his departure for that land of great men and enlightened ideas, of whose merits and demerits we have lately heard so much. His speech on Friday, although quieter and more moderate in its tone, displayed many of the characteristics of his former addresses. To our English notions they appeared remarkable for the vehemence and in temperance of their language, but it would seem that to American minds they ware tame, spiritless, and subservient. "It had been said," remarked Mr. BEECHER," that he had tried too much of the soothing syrup with the British Lion, and if that were an offence he must plead guilty to the charge of trying to influence him on the side of good na ture." His defence against this remarkable accu sation that he had spoken the words of truth in soberness the " soberness" of Mr. BEECLIER'S fervid denunciations is certainly very far removed from the " soberness" of the preaching of that great Apostle who " persuaded" rather than threatened his adversaries. Mr. BEECHER has a very short and conclusive method of disposing of the views of his opponents, of which the following passage is a fair specimen. "He might venture to say that for a long period the voices of those who speak as the nation in England were at times like those of old—possessed by the Devil—and not under their own control." He then went on to give us his ideas of the causes of the English coolness towards the North—that is to say the coolness of the English people, for it would be difficult to accuse our Government of any thing like lukewarmness in its friendship for the Federals. He tries to persuade us that fears of the effect which the diffusion of American ideas and principles of Government may have upon our con stitution is among the influences which render us unwilling to mix in the war. Surely such a fear had never less foundation than at the present time, Iwhen th e warmest a d vocates o f u l tra - repu bli can i sm When people get a whim int o th e i r h ea d s they find it difficult to support their theories with such are not likely to take heed as to consequences, nor to startling evidence of their failure before their eyes. pause for prudential motives.

A brave man wilt not brook injury -or insult, but still less will he inflict either I The recent events which have taken place in Japan are, alas, not of a character for na tional gratulation. We had to demand reparation tor an injury, but we have changed places with the offenders, anti now we have ourselves committed a wrong. The burning of the city of Kagosima is a greater subject for regret and grief throughout the country than was the wanton insult received at the hands of the American Captain. Granted we were justified in demanding from the Prince of SATSUMA a full reparation for the injury committed on a British subject, and the punishment of the offender, and in the event of our demand being refused, the offence might have beea declared a legitimate casus belli. The attack on the city of Kagosima, if the records of that attack be true, is one of those fatal incidents which, to alter the words of TALLEYRAND, are both a " crime and a mis take." The city of Kagosima, with its large popu lation, was not only attacked by the British ships, but literally burned to the ground ! For two whole days the fire continued, and still the smoke extended for miles around. The only objects spared appear to have been the Prince's palace and the military works, which we should have imagined would have been the first and most legitimate objects of attack. The smoke rising from those desolated hearths and homes of the poor inhabitants of Kago aima will excite in the breasts of the people of this country mingled feelings of shame and indigos -1 tion. nightly at the Lyceum, was first performed in this country no less than a dozen years ago, under another title, it is true and according to another version, at the Olympic, In 1851 the play was entitled Sixtus the Fifth— virtually thesam play now, in 1863, entitled Bel Demonio. Then, in 1851, in was announced as dramatised by Mr. Boucicault and Mr. Bridgman, the former of whom was recognisable in the stalls on Saturday, looking on, we may rest assured, with no unfriendly eye at this new and charming double of his own " Sixtus the Fifth." The drama of " Bel Demonio" was announced upon the playbills as "taken by Mr. John Brougham from Stendhal's Italian Chronicles." Before the plot of the love story, thus twice told dramatically, had, however, been taken, even twelve years ago, by Mr. Brougham's predecessors from those same old Italian Chronicles, it had been made the theme of a roman• tic narrative, if we mistake not, by the vivid pen of M. Paul Feval. However this may be, here is the lovely old story beheld I. gain under a newer and more beau'iful aspect than ever—dramatised with singu lar ability by Mr. John Brougham, and put upon the stage of the Lyceum Theatre with a splendour of appointments, of costume, and of scenery that has rarely, if ever, been witnessed, that, in some respects, has never been surpasssed. The scenery is not only very beautiful, but it is entirely novel in its arrangement. In several of the tableaux it is far more than anything that has hitherto gone by the name of scenery. The interiors often, the landscapes always, being built up in a wonderful manner—presenting to view in some instances, as in the opening scene of the Oid . - - Abbey Ruin, or still more in the exquisite moonlit scene of the Mountain Torrent, with the bridge and the waterfall, and the craggy heights leading up to the picturesque little chapel of the monk Anselmo, presenting to view, we say, a really surpri , ing series of illusions. That it was so, was evidenced pretty plainly on Saturday night by the rounds of applause greeting the first disclosure of each of these remarkably novel effects of scenery. The reception, however, as already intimated, was reserved by the audience for Mr. Pechter himself, upon his entrance at length before them—for, artfully enough, it has been so arranged by the dramatis, that the hero of the love story has been much talked of by others among t he dramatis personae be fore he actually makes his first appearance. Angelo is the hero's name—Brachio Forte he turns out to be before the play has very far advanced—Bel Demonio he becomes before it has been brought to its termi nation. As Angelo he is an amateur artist, living a❑ obscure life among certain old abbey ruins beloved by all who know him, idolised by the sur rounding peasantry. As Brachio Forte he is the orphan son of a famous leader of the people, a plebeian by birth it is true but a man of lofty and patriotic ambition who has been destroyed like another Rienzi. As Bei Demonic), this heroic, noble hearted Angelo Brachio Forte caused hisname to be regarded with terror by his foes as the leader of a daring band of desperadoes. Angelo becoming the Bel Demonic), out of the very desperation induced by his romantic fortunes. The whole secret of the charm, of the interest, of the passion of the love story lies, in the fact, that Angelo, tne obscure orphan, loves and is beloved by Lena (tenderly and grace fully played by Miss Kate Terry), the only daugh ter of the haughty Count Campereali. Nearly maddened with rage by the mere dread of the pos sibility of any such mesallianee, the proud Count and his (if possible, still prouder) son, Fabio, resolve from the very outset of the piece, on the one hand., to destroy Angelo, and on the other to wed Lena to a scion of the powerful but detested house of Orsini. Baffled, however, the Count and his son are in both of these amiable designs. First of all by the prowess of Angelo, aided by that of a faith ful adherent to his fortunes under every emer gency, namely, his father's old friend and comrade, the bluff veteran Ranuccio—a burly old soldier, admirably well represented, from first to last, by Mr. Emery—throughout every scene, in deed, in which he appeared, by every word he had to utter. Baffled these hostile intentions in regard to the lovers, are, however, far more than by the combined valour of Angelo and Ranuccio. hey are rendered futile throughout, by the agency of Ange:o's apparently decrepit uncle, his dead father's brother, the Cardinal Mon talto, afterwards his Holiness the Pope. Ap parently decrepit, we say—for, like another Brutus simulating madness until the moment when power is actually within hie grasp, the old Cardinal is pourtrayed throughout the drama as affecting to be borne down by age and almost by imbecility—until, in the crisis of the tist scene, when the guns of the Castle of St. Angelo announce by their third detonation ais election as the Savereign Pontiff, his Uroinence the Cardinal, or rather his Holi ness the Pope, throws aside his crutch-handled stick, draws himself up majestically to his full height, speaks no longer in quavering, bat sonorous accents, paralyses the evil pGwer alike of the Orsini and the Campiriali, announces that Rome has i❑ him a Master, and suspends, with his outstretched hands above the kneeling lovers at his feet, as the curtain is descending, the aegis of his pontifical benediction. It is Cardinal Montalto, it should be borne in mind, moreover, who has, in the midst of this dramatic love story, come even then effectually co the rescue of Angelo and Lena—by (as the Monk Anselmo) uniting them in marriage in the very midst of a perfect maze or labyrinth of difficulties. More of the plot need not here be particularised. From what has already been said of it, the breathless interest of the inc dents of the drama as they follow each other in rapid succession, may b© conjectured. Referring now purely to the acting (we have already spoken of the scenery), the two most admirable " situations" of all, to our mind, in " Bel Demonic.," are the love scene between Angelo and Lena in the Palace of the Campiriali, and the duel scene between the future Bel Detnonio and the brother of ttis beloved—one whom Angelo first uncaps with a pistol-shot, and then disarms with a sword. Fabio, this same brother of Lena, is the vetiest spitfire and catamaran well conceivable, It comes quite a relief at last to everyone when he is at length despatched. With all our admiration for the 3 kill and the magnificence with which Bel Demonic) put upon the stage, with all our unstinted and unaffected admiration for the genius displayed by Mr. Fechter in his gracious performance of the part of Angelo Bracchio Forte, otherwise Be Demonio, we cannot anticipate that the new drama will monopolize this new seas, n as The Duke's Motto" monopolized the last—any more than we can induce ourselves to believe tha Angelo will take rank in the long and brilliant cata logue of Mr. Fechter's parts, side by side with Ruy Bias—or even with Captain Lagardere. Bel Dernonio does not hold so well together as "The Duke's Motto." And certainly Angelo, as a part, is net by any means so worthy of Mr. Pechter as the iforesaid Captain L3gardere. Yet, as it is, the play is a brilliant success, while the hero of the play, we doubt not, will long continue to be a favourite. The following are flaw opinions of our morning Contemporaries : TimEs.--Whether "Bel Demonio" will attain a success equal to that of the " Duke's Motto" may be doabted, but there is no doubt that it will long attract the public. As a specimen of stage management perfect in every detail, while the details are numerous, almost without precedent, "Bel Demonio" is a marvel." POST.—The piece was received throughout with vehe ment acclamations, and the principal performers ware sum moned before the curtain, not only at the end of each act, but on the conclusion of every tableau. HERALD.—Whether its career will be as extraordinary as that of its predecessor we cannot attempt to pre dict ; that the triumphant success achieved on Saturday night will ensure it a long prosperous run, and that all play-going London will rush to witness the performance, we do not entertain a doubt. Much of the success must be attributed to the magr ificence and variety of the scenery, to the picturesque costumes, and to the excellence of the acting, The performance, re ceived somewhat coldly at first, warmed into enthusiasm at the end of the second act; and at the fall of the curtain created a perfect furore. DAILY NEWS---The success of the adapter and the manager and actor on Saturday night was unequivocal, and " Bel Demonio" will, doubtless, long continue to fill the theatre. The whole piece gave the utmost satisfaction to the audience, and the calls at the end of the acts and " tableaux" were hearty and numerous. ADVERTISER.—" Bel Demonic)" will roll along every night as successfully as its predecessor, and attract as many successive brilliant audiences. TELEGRAPH. - " Bel Dsmonio" is emphatically a marked success, and the new drama and the new stage will evidently furnish the town with a new topic, and one which all London during the next few months will be assiduously qualifying itself properly to discuss.

The Journal de Posen publishes the following from Warsaw to the 27th October : " It is asserted that the chiefs of the Jewish and Catholic clergy have been arrested for having re fused to publish mandates similar to those extorted by Gem Mouravieff from the Bishop of Wolout chewski and the Rabbi of Wilna. " Great excitement reigns in the city in conse quence of these arrests; they, however, in no way discourage the National Government, which fulfils its difficult mission with much firmness. It has now issued instructions urging its fiscal agents energetically to exert themselves in the realisation of the national loan of 40 millions of florins. With this object in view it has formed a central committee in Warsaw. Functionaries whose salary is less than 120 florins, and who contributed to the forced loan, are exempted from the present loan. Th ose inhabitants in possession of a fortune not exceeding 20,000 florins will make voluntary donations only. Those persons whose fortunes are from 20,060 to 100,000 florins have to contribute to the loan in the proportion of 1 per cent., fortunes of from 600,060 to 1,500,000 florins, 21 per cent., and above the latter amount 3 per cent.

THE SUITE OF THE EMPRESS EUGENIE IN SPAIN. —The persons who accompanied the Empress of the French to Madrid were—The Princess Anne Murat, the Countess de Montebello, the Countess de Lourmel, Madame Domingo Arcos, the Marquis de Catur, the Marquis of Villafranca, and General Fave, THE MEXICAN THRONE. Some of the papers have lately spoken of a Spanish Prince for the throne of Mexico, as the Emperor, vexed at the attitude of Austria on the Polish question, has changed his mind with refer rence to the Archduke Maximilian. On the serG e authority one of the objects of the Empress's visit to Madrid was to propose that arrangement to Quee n Isabella. The Mexican derutation, who have offered the crown to the Archduke, and who are still in communication with him, positively deny that there Is any truth whatever in th'se statements. I\o doubt the "Notables" of Mexico left it to the Emperor of the French to choose another Prince for them iu case the Archduke refused; but the depu t.tion, who continue to be the representatives of the Mexican Assembly, affirm that the Archduke will start for Mexico the moment the result (which is not doubtful) of the election is known. The Spanish Princes are Don Francisco de Paulo, the uncle of the Queen, who is about 75 years old ; Don Hen rique, his son, who 16 or 17 years ago married a lady in private station ; Don Sebastian, his cousir, who is 53 years old and has no issue; and Don Juan. There remains the Duchess of Montpensier, sister of the Queen, but who would hardly be proposed by the Emperor. If the convention of London be still considered in force, Spain, England, and France bound themselves by it to seek for no territorial 4cquisition and no particular advantage from the expedition to Mexico. The Empress, who arrived at Toulon on Thurs. day morning, was waited on shortly after by Vice. Admiral Want Bouet Willaumez, the Maritime Prefect, to take her Mjesty's orders for the day. Atter breakfast the Empress visited the vessels of war at anchor in the roadstead, commencing by the steam liner Ville de Paris, bearing the flag of Vice" Admiral Rigault de Genouilly. At half•past 1 Bbe went to the building yard of Mourillon, where fl gallery bad been erected for her to witness the tauach of the ironclad frigate Provence, place with perfect success. The Empress appeared much gratified at the sight, and congratulated isthe naval engineets on the result.

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES. —A case beard in the Peterborough County Court this week disclosed the startling fact, which has hitherto not been made public, that the special train by which. the Prince of Wales travelled from Halifax to London, on the 6tb of August, narrowly escaped the fate of the Lynn ex cursion train, At the Helpstone croesir , g, where both the Midland and Great Northern lines inter sect the road, an attempt was made to drive a bullock acroi , s the Great Nor thern line. The gates, it seems, are only a single pair' and when open t o th e roa d are also open to the line, so that there is no protection for anything passing, In the present instance the bullock which was being driven along vo ni rather wild, as single bullocks frequently art) when sepa rated from the herd. Two or three servants stood on one side of the crossing to prevent its going down tbe line, and the gateman himself stood on the other side so thalt it should not get on the line. In spite of these precautions, however, the bullock gave the gateman the slip, and trotted compla cently along the metals. Almost at this instant the royal express train dash e d p as t, str iki ng t h e an i ma l b e hind, happily throwing it off the line, so that any further ,sacci dent was avo id e. l. S trange as t h ese f acts are , the Sut on decision upon th em i s s till more remar k a bl e . l being brought against the co m p an y f or the value - o af° the bullock, Mr. Ellis has ruled that the company are aiinply bound to provide a passage across their line, and bullock being 1' be net responsible for what may occur through a wild or badly driven. This d e cision, which is probably sound in point of law, throws a new light on the question of level crossings, and public will learn with s one pri9o that should a train ever be upset through the eccentricity a bullock at one of these unprotected crossings, no bu a small country hltelier will be responsible for the ac ei d —Pet6rboroic4 ddratiser.
