You enter by the Cour dHonneur. Two Cent Gardes in undress uniform—that is, blue tunics without the cuirass, white buckskins and jack boots, silver helmet, and musket grounded—are on duty at each side of the chapel door, and point out the way to the vestibule, which is lined by powdered footmen, in green and gold liveries, who take your ticket, and in silence relieve you of any extra coat in which your person may be enve loped, and likewise take charge of your hat. N.B. —Beware of offering them money. In this vestibule there is, moreover, a mysterious personage in faultless black, who quietly takes you in as you pass, and if your general aspect and get up fall beneath his standard of propriety he hints to you in the most polite form of speech that the chapel is, unfortunately, overcrowded, and in fact, gives you leave to return whence you came.

You have a few minutes to look about you, and you will remark a master of the ceremonies, in plum-coloured garments, every now and then peeping through half the open door to see that all is in order. The Imperial armchairs of crimson velvet and gold are precisely opposite the altar before each a prie-dieu, on the desk of which lies arcppen missal. The doors of the pews which fill the-cireular - gallery by this time may be seen to open, 'luta each rew to fill rapidly with Court dignitaries and their families. There is a certain buzz of subdued whispers among the ladies, but your attention it attracted to the pro Cession of the almoners, each in the gorgeous dress of canons of St. Denis, the GrAnd Almoner distinguishable by the plainness of his costume, which is that of an ordinary bishop. Suddenly the fold-; iug doors are thrown open, the Cent Gardes present arms; you hear the Gentleman usher announce the Emperor, but his Majesty has not yet appeared; the cort* at this instant enters. First come the Emperor's Chamberlains in scarlet and gold uniforms, strongly reminding us of that of our own military men ; next her Majesty's Chamberlains, in blue and gold ; the masters of the ceremonies, in plum-colour ; two equerries, in dark green ; the Marshal Minister, otherwise Comptroller of the Household (Valliant) ; the General-Commandant of the Palace (Rollin), and the Aide-de-Camp in Waiting. A second time the usher calls out " L'Empereur !" Silence in the chapel ; for his majesty is severe on this point, and does not tolerate the slightest whisper during the service. The congregation rises. The Em peror, Empress, and Prince Imperial enter— his Majesty in uniform, and wearing the Grand Cordon ; the Empress in morning dress, generally in black, with kmall black lace mantilla as head dress. The " Kyrie Eleison" at once commences, and is invariably sung with exquisite taste and feeling, accompanied only by stringed instruments, the accompaniment subordinated to the voices. The Emperor listens with profound attention to the service, most especially following the reading of the gospel and epistle of the day. The Empress is Catholic at heart, and fervent in her ecstatic de votion to the forms of her Church. The earliest settlers at Cannes were Lord Mr. Leader, and M r . Woolfield. Brougham, A scene which is described by the New York Nation as being " awful" took place in the House of Representatives on the 3d inst. A personal quarrel had arisen between Mr. Donnelly, a repre sentative of Minnesota, and Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, one of the oldest members of the House. Mr. Donnelly addressed a long speech to his fellow members, full of vituperation of the grossest kind. The following passage will give a better idea of Congressional eloquence as practised by Mr. Don nelly than any description :—" If there be in our midst one low, sordid, vulgar soul, one barren of mediocre intelligence, one heart callous to every generous emotion, one tongue leprous with slander, une mouth which is like unto a den of foul beasts giving forth deadly odours ; if there be here one character, which, while blotched and spotted, yet raves and rants and blackguards like a prostitute ; if there be here one bold, bad, empty, bellowing demagogue, it is the gentleman from Illinois." Mr. Washburne retorted by calling Mr. Donnelly " a member who is covered over with crime and infamy, whose record is stained with every fraud, whisky and other frauds—a man who has proved false alike to his friends, his country, his constituents, his politics, his religion, and his God." On the day following this little interlude the subject was again brought before the house by a third member, and after renewed personalities, Mr. Donnelly asked the Speaker whether it would lie in order to invite the house to take a drink, to which there were responses of " Amen," "My &c. The Sp ea k er ap p ears t o whistle's dry," have tried to repress this outbreak, but ineffec tually. "We venture," remarks the Nation, "to say that Mr. John Morrissey"—the prizefighter, member for New York—" has never heard in his experience, and he has associated with the worst ruffians of both hemispheres . . . . so much vile ribaldry from the lips of one man, in one place, as the Legislature of this Christian, civilised country, listened to by unanimous consent, last week, from one of its own members, while the chief magistrate was actually on trial in the next room for simple violence and indecorum." Probably this same im pression had something to do with the verdict on the 11th article of impeachment. ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's P ills.—ludigestion. How much thought has been bestowed, and what ponder ous volumes written upon this plague of every household, which is certainly and safely dispersed by a course of this purifying, soothing, and tonic medicine without fear of re lapse. It acts directly on the stomach, liver, and bowels ; more indirectly, though not less effectively, on the brain, nerves, vessels, and glands, and so commands order throughout the entire system that harmony dwells be tween each organ and its functions. Dyspepsia can now no longer be the bugbear of the public since Holloway's pills are fully competent to subdue the most chronic and distressing cases of impaired digestion, and to restore the miserable sufferer to health, strength, and cheerfulness. Sold at Professor Holloway's establishment, New Oxford street, and by all medicine vendors throughout the civilised world.

"It is therefore desirable that every precaution should be taken to ascertain the character of all persons applying for licenses, that the houses are of sufficient value and proper for the business, and that there is a reasonable pre sumption that, if licensed, the oc...mpaiits may, with in dustry and honest dealing, obtain a living.

And see ndly. Two paragraphs from s minute reeordel by Sir P. P. Grant when Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, viz. :- " The magnificent province of Behar which would b.. admirably watered by Captain Dickens' projected canal front the Soane. The cost here would certainly be very much less (than at Cuttack), and the returns may rea sonably be expected to be much more secure, because wo know, as a fact, the value of irrigation in Behar. The soil is better and the natural rainfall is less by half on an ave rage, and much less certain in Behar than in Cuttack. The most valuable crops are not the rain crops in Behar, and for the most valuable crops there it is found by expe rience that expensive Well Irrigation pays, which has not been proved by experience to be the general case in Orissa. " I venture to recommend this enterprising Company, in whose success every person connected with India must feel deep interest, to consider Captain Dickens' scheme of irrigation from the Soane, for which complete plans and estimates are availa'ole, and nothing is wanted but the money." By the contract with the Government the Company are entitled to receive and retain all profits from the sale of water for irrigation, until the dividends paid to Shareholders shall exceed 20 per cent, upon the total expenditure made, after which the balance of such- profits is to be divided equally between the Government and the Company. The returns from all other sources are to belong to the Com. pang exclusively. The scheme of works to be executed has now been thoroughly investigated and carefully re-planned On behalf of the ,Company, and particulars submitted to- and ap proved by the Government. There will be no delay m making preliminary surveys, plans, &c., all of which have been effected, and everything made ready for immediate constructive operations, a great advantage not possessed heretofore by any other undertaking of a like character, because the realisation of profits has been thus brought so much nearer. The capital has been divided into shares of £lO each, and stock in sums ranging from £lO upwards, to suit the convenience of all ; as it is thought many may desire to take a definite amount of stock, or to pay up in full, and thus be free at once from all future care about calls, and from all future liability, while others may prefer to pay a smaller sum down as a deposit on shares, and pay up the residue by instalments as calls may be made. Some shares have been already allotted in India. The share capital will be called up slowly, and so as, with the stock, to maintain an expenditure at the rate of about £130,000 per annum. £2 per share during each year will be ample for this. Applications for shares may now be sent to the Com pany's Offices, 8 and 9, Queen-street -place, Southwark bridge, London, E.C., where a full prospectus and forms of application may bo had ; but it is necessary that it should be understood that no application will bo considered, un less a deposit of £1 on each snare, or of 10 per cent. upon the amount of stock applied for, has been made either to the Bankers of the Company, Messrs.f Ransom, Bouverie, at tho"Offi?.•o, 8 and 9 , iteenL- 4 S ea--place,.SouthvhirZls)fidgLondon, The 7fierigf . xit ! ‘ ill; be returned veitliufit^dAl:intlilujil the 4;100 , tion is not acceded to. , • • . • THE GAS LIGHT AND COKE COMPANY, Office—Horseferry-road, Westminster, 16th May, 1868.

The circumstances under which subscriptions are now invited by this Company, to a further issue of capital, are peculiarly favourable for investors, and present the strongest evidence of the sound and profitable character of the undertaking, to complete which an additional outlay is required. As they are now planned, and being constructed, the canals will, when completed, according to the estimates of many engineers most competent to judge, includingOolonel Ruudall and the present chief engineer of the Company, convey water for the Irrigation of about 700,000 acres. Adopting a temporary rate of charge for irrigation, and estimating the returns from navigation at the very mode .rate,total of three per celit. upon, the outlay (the present Alec .e4 . lheer Olaitthe estiniat9#,U x e tti4nalpon,"tiliell least tea pirrtelA mail:it:mince r establishment, &e., the net returns from the : B , l ld 'a the high, roe 'At'fi per , cen t. for repair, • sections now to be completed would be altogether twelve per cent., which, by the re-establishment of the original rate of five rupees per acre for irrigation, would be made up to twenty-one per cent. net. encouraging. These are figures the accuracy , of which can be easily demonstrated, and any inquiry made regarding them at the Company's offices will be at once replied to, and every f i t s h s hig p l re ily sent month, and dated the information given. The prospect of an immediate and extensive spread of irrigation, and therefore of a satisfactory increase upon By reports t r h ec e e e iv x l s d tin on g 30th March, it appears that there had then been signed, the returns, 3 d o connected with the Kendrapara Canal alone, leases Hu -26 000 acres • that • cipally for 3 years) for about I. es , applica tions from cultivators of 'land under the same canal were being received at the rate of from 2,000 to 5,000 acres daily ; and that the natives were cutting the smaller channels necessary to convey the water to their fields with earnestness; further, that in the vicinity of the high level canal meetings were being held by the Zemin dare, and other unmistakable signs exhibited that the same favourable state off affairs there as that connected with the Kendm Pam Canal was a more matter of a short time, and that before the coming season large demands will be made for water. Upon the Midnapore Canal the effect of the reduction of the water rate, &c., had not, at the end of March, been thoroughly ascertained, because the irrigating portion of that canal had been closed for some time previous for construction purposes, and had then only been reopened, but the chief engineer of the Company and the executive eng i neer i n charge reported that applications for water, in addition to the 4,000 acres supplied last year, had commenced and were confidently expected to be added to largely. The' works already constructed have now entered upon their stage of revenue, and they offer t o not only a safe investment, but one which will, most assuredly, be very profitable ere long; and here it may be added, as confirmatory of this almost immediate prospect, that the portions of the works now in hand remaining to be exe cuted, consisting . mainly of channels for the distribution of the water, will noces3arily be the easiest of construction, as well as the most productive, and will add materially to the percentage of returns on the whole outlay. There is also another feature of great importance, which must not be omitted in the consideration of the fitness of this undertaking for an investment. By the contract it is expressly provided that the Company shall be paid for the water supplied for irrigation to the cultivators—not by the cultivators themselves —but by the Government of India; and that the price to be so paid by the Government to the Cotnpauy for such water shall be, the price charged to the cu l t i va tors,' and shall be fixed so as to represent a fair charge for the water to the parties us i ng i t. With refe rence to this stipulation, it has been azknowledged by the Government that they alone are liable in respect to the non-payment for water supplied, so that the Company are released from all fear of liability to loss of any portion of their water-rate. The value of the foregoing arrangement can hardly be too highly prized, forming as it does a cer tain and safe guarantee of Payment for every portion of th e water supplied for irrigation. It has been determined by the Directors to limit, at any rate for the present, the exPonditure to about £130,000 per annum, whereby they will be enabled to make all fu ture calls small in amount and at regular stated periods, not exceeding on the whole £2 per share during each. year ; at the same time they are enabled by the Act of In corporation to issue the required capital partly in shares of £lO each , and partly in stock divisible into sums vary ing from £lO upwards —a plan which will suit the con venience of those who desire to limit their liability to a fixed sum at once, and to be relieved from future calls, and also those who may prefer to pay the amount of capital held by them by easy instalments in the shape of calls. Applications for Shares and Stock may now be made by filling up and forwarding either of the accompanying Forms to the Company's Offices, 8 and 9, Queen-street -place, South wark -bridge, London, (Where a full Prospectus and Forms of Application may be had); but it is necessary that it should be understood that no application will be considered unless a deposit of £1 on each share, or of ten pounds per cent. upon th e amount of stock applied for, has been made either to the Bankers of the Company, Messrs.

The great value and promising nature of "The Behar Undertaking," secured by contract to this Company, have, during the last eight or ten years, been so well and favourably discussed in England and throughout India, first by the Government and then by the Com pany's officers, and are now so generally known, that any statement which the Directors might add upon the subject would be superfluous ; they, therefore, limit themselves to an assurance that they are satisfied it pre sents a safe, sound, and profitable investment; and, unhe sitatingly, solicit subscriptions towards the requisite capital; at the same time they quote, as confirmatory of their own judgment, the following _ Firstly. An extract from a despatch to the Secretary of State in Council, dated March 10,1862, recommending that the Soane Canal project should be given to a private com- 1 pany, which despatch was signed by the late Lord Can ning as Governor-General, and by Sir Henry Bartle Frere (since Governor of Bombay and now a member of the Connell of India in England), Sir Cecil Beadon (after wards Liout."-Governor of Bengal), General Sir Robert Napier (now commanding the forces in Abyssinia), Samuel Laing, Esq., M.P. (then the Finance Member of Council for India), and the Hon. W. Ritchie, being the whole of the Governmental Council, viz.:— " His Honour the Lieu onant- Governor considers that it (the Soane Canal project) holds out better prospects than the Orissa scheme, and that it would be good for both the East India Irrigation Company and for the coun try if the Cornpa , .y were to adopt this instead of the other ; but the projectors prefer that originally selected by them. " We have long regarded this scheme as one of all others in India to which private capital should be invited. "There is this advantage in Government taking-the initiative in planning the great works of the country, that they are ao placed before the public that they can be dis cussed in the light of local knowledge and experience.

The annual meeting of this society has been held in Exeter Hall, the proceedings attracting a crowded audience. Mr. B. Whit- cen, M.P., in presiding, alluded to the general election which he said was looming in the immediate future, ant trusted their friends would make the question of tha Alliance the point on which they would insist on candidates being right who asked their suf frages. Mr. W. Saunders moved, Professor Rolleston, of Oxford University, seconded, and Mr. West, a workingman, supported, the following resolution : " That this meeting rejoices that legislation on the amended representation of the people has cleared the way for the consideration by Parliament of measures of social reform, especially for the removal of legalised temptations to intem perance, the gravest question of domestic legislation ; and the meeting earnestly expresses its hope and trust that the working classes, in whose hands much political power is now placed, will render their united and cordial aid in returning representatives who will support the principle of the Permissive Bill." Mr. S. Pope moved, and Dr. F. R. Lees seconded : " That this meeting regards the appalling amount of pauperism, ignorance, and crime, with their consequent taxation, as constituting an intolerable burden on the industrious and sober portion of the community ; and as a vast proportion of these evils is the direct result of the liquor traffic, the meeting col's upon the Government to fulfil the promises of various leading statesmen, by introducing a bill dealing with the whole of the licensing laws, with clauses giving power to the inhabitants of each district to prevent the granting or renewing of licenses within their boundaries, when a large majority may so determine. That the chairman be respectfully requested to forward a copy of this resolution to her Majesty's Prime Minister, to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and to the Chancellor of the Exchequer." The Rev. F. Kellett moved and the Rev. G. W. M`Cree seconded : "That this meeting, being specially interested in the promotion of Alliance principles throughout the metropolis, pledges itself to make use of all suitable means for the spread of correct information, and especially for promoting electoral co-operation in the various constituen cies, with a view to the support of candidates favourable to the Permissive Bill, and legislation of a kindred descrip tion." The three resolutions were unanimously adopted, and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro ceedings. Captain Henry F. M'Killop, R.N., his been selected by the Viceroy of Egypt to reorganise his High ness's navy.

When the procession was passing the Quai de Serin, a valuable horse coining in the opposite direction was so alarmed at the sight of the enormous animal that it took the bit in its teeth, and jumped over the parapet to the lower quay and was killed cn the spot. The carriage was smashed to pieces, but the driver es caped unhurt.

CARRYING GUNPOWDER ON A RAILWAY. —A shocking occurrence happened recently on the Coulom miers branch of the Eastern Railway (France). A. man named Surdel got into a third-class carriage at Gretz(Seine et-Marne), taking with him three kilos. of gunpowder for blasting. Shortly after the train had moved on he pro ceeded to light his pipe, when a spark fell upon the packet, and a dreadful explosion took place. A commer cial traveller, who was asleep in the next apartment, was awoke by the noise, and saw the carriage on fire, and Sardel jumping out on to the line. He himself got out on the opposite side, and, making his way along the steps, communicated with the guard, and the train was stopped. The unfortunate author of the disaster was taken up so seriously injured that after two days of severe suffering he expired. The carriage was completely consumed. THE BELIEF IN WITCHES. - The Limerick _Reporter relates the following ex traordinary occurrence :-- During the sitting of the p etty sessions court on Friday evening a piercing cry was raised by a woman outside. On ingiliring into the cause it appeared that a case was pending in w hich a man named Roche charged two o thers named Collins with an assault, and intended to p rot l ac e his father as a witness. The famili es o f th e litigants are closely related, and the mother of the Coßinses, indignant at the prospect of her sons being sent to gaol, gave expression to her feelings in the form of a malediction, praying that when old Roche left the court he might be paralysed.
