THE FRENCH EMPIRE. The excitement created by the Imperial marriage is rapidly subsiding. The marriage fete of Sunday happily passed off without any public accident, or even serious incident, considering the immense as semblage that had been drawn together. Yester day morning's Moniteur concludes a long official account of the religious ceremonies, by saying that the very heavens favoured this Imperial fete ; for seldom does winter give a " sky so clear, or a tem perature so mild." Thanks are also due to those who had charge of the solemnities ; for by the per fect execution of their commands, no accident hap • Pend which could leave a grief on the minds of the Parisian population. The Emperor has decided that all the expenses incurred for the fetes of his marriage shall be paid out of his civil list. The people in innumerable throngs yesterday crowded to see the cathedral of Notre Dame. A small charge was made for admission, which the Archbishop of Paris has officially notified will be appropriated to the relief of the poor. The following are the terms in which the Moni teur announces the intended amnesty " On the occasion of his marriage the Emperor has pardoned upwards of 3,000 persons, amongst those who had been the object of measures of general safety taken after the disturbances of December, 1851. In conse quence of these pardons, and of those previously accord. ed, there remain not more than about 1,200 persons subject to expulsion or transportation. Public opinion will not take alarm at so many pardons, as the decree of March 5, 1852, gives to the Government the right to have recourse to measures of precaution against any in dividuals who should abuse the clemency exercised to wards them. The names of the persons thus pardoned will shortly be published." From the above it will be seen that 3,000 out of the 16,000 unhappy persons sent to Lambessa and Cayenne, without trial, under pretence that they took part in the insurrections which occurred after the coup d'etat of the 2d of December, are at length to be restored to their families and country. The following is a complete list of the personages who signed the registry of the civil marriage at the Tuileries Sunday night : .Her Excellency the Countess de Montijo, Prince Jerome, P r i nce N apo l eon, Princess athilde, Prince Lucien Bonaporte (senator), Prince Lucien Murat (senator), Prince Pierre Bonaparte, the Princess Bacciochi ; his Em.

It was sung after the overture of William Tell, by M. Roger and Madame Tederco. The Music is by Auber, and the verses by M. Mery REOITATIF. " Avec les lyres d'or, avec les voix de l'ame, Prance, Espagne, deux sceurs ! celebrez ce grand jour Peuples ums, chantez l'augusto epithalame, Car l'hymne de la paix, c'est l'hymne de l'amour !

I mmediately after the cantata their Majesties re tired amidsts loud cries of " Vive rEmpereur I" " Vive rlmperatrice I" The absence of Lord Cowley, both from the civil and the religious ceremonies, has been the subject of some surprise, and an attempt has been made to give his Ex ce ll ency ' s a b sence a political character, but t it was o ccas i one d s i mp l y by an attack of Btaff he prevai li ng influenza. Lady C ow l ey, and all the of the embassy, were present on both occasions. Several little incidents occurred in the course ...u,nth of th e civil and religious cer emon i es, which &'suovr that th e arrangements have not given uui sal satisfaction i n hi g h p l aces. The Princess ttarie de Baden (Duchess of Hamilton) left the ci_ a lace of th e T u il er i es on Saturday evening, before tle s igning of the act o f marr i age , b ecause no special iklee had b een mar k e d out for her in the ceremonial . oth her Grace and the Duke attended the religious ceremony, b u t a lth oug h th e G rand Master of the Oe reraonies went three times to ask them to take " ...8 in the I m p er i a l gallery with " th e civil i t ,ltulY" of the Emperor, they declined the honour, consequence, no doubt, of the sli3lat of the pre 'i°llB evening. Both the Duke and Duchess of Ila(niilton declined to sign the act of marriage. k ri: e veral members of the Imperial family have ' e n signs of dissatisfaction. Price Lucien Murat a nd his family, and Prince Pierre Bonaparte de did to figur e in the ceremonies, because they. , s _d not consider the places allotted to them as be vknning their rank. 011 Sunday, the Emperor, with his bride, left 4q,ris at four o'clock, for the Palace of St. Cloud. e 37" travelled in a carriage and four, with out thrers and an escort, and were accompanied in to ne other carriages by Prince Jerome and his , and th e princess Mathilde with the Duke de 13a asan and -LvGeneral d e M ontebe l lo, M. de Pierres, 1,7 M. de M enneva l , and • their wives.

The Archbishop then blessed both the ring and the medal thus produced. The five cardinals present were—Cardinals G-ous set, Archbishop of Rheims ; Donnet, Archbishop of Bordeaux ; De Bonald, Archbishop of Lyons ; Mathieu, Archbishop of Besancon ; and Du Pont, Archbishop of Bourges. These high dignitaries were dressed in the Roman purple. Numerous distributions Of bread, wine, meat, and clothes took place yesterday morning in all the arrondissements of Paris. A double allowance of wine has been given to each soldier of the garrison of Paris. The funds continued to decline yesterday on the Bourse. The Three per Cents. opened at 79f. 35c., rose to 79f. 70c., and fell to 78f. 75c., the price at which they closed. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 104 f. 75c., and closed at 104 f. 10c. The share market experienced a similar de pression —the Northern closing at 820 f. ; Strasburg, at 742 f. 50c. ; Lyons, at 842 f. 50c. SPAIN. We have received advices from Madrid, dated the 26th ult.

MONTENEGRO. On the night of the 15th ult., says the Triester Zeitung, Osman Pacha took up a strong position at the foot of a hill on the plain behind Scutari. The Montenegrins, availing themselves of the stormy night, attacked the Turkish camp, where alarm and disorder were beginning to prevail. The Turks dispersed on all sides, and the following trophies of victory were carried off by the Montenegrins :- 17 standards (and among them that of the Prophet, which is said to consist of Mahomet's inexpres sibles), 80 horse-loads of powder, 60 horses, a num ber of arms and silver-mounted yatagans, and last, though not least, 317 Turks' heads. The position taken up by the Austrian army ex tends from Macassca to LaAtua, the southern ex tremity of the Dalmatian coast ; and this corps, when completed, will consist of 80,000 men. THE WOOL TRADE. STATE OF TRADE IN M ANCHESTER GOODS. I 5' 7 The followin g i s f rom M essrs. M`Nair, Greenhow, and 6 Irving's circular :- 6 " The transactions of each succeeding month, in this 10 market, would appear, from its quiet, cool, and tempe- 20 rate aspect, externally--and as being now so much at variance with the features incidental to large operations St. in former and byegone years—to be rendering the duties St. of part]es like ourselves more and more difficult in inti mating to correspondents a really correct and substantial St. notion as to the actual condition of matters here. Dur- St. ing the first two weeks of the month the market was dull and drooping, from easily perceptible causes ; since 61 then a very large amount of transactions in both goods and yarns, equalling the well-remembered month of °I ) October last—as to the period indicated—have been en- St. tered into. " The demand has again been mainly for export, both 16 as regarded goods and yarns ; that for the. home trade, St. though comparatively unimpm ant, having exhibited a St. greater degree of improvement in the course of the month, than what might have been anticipated, consi- St. Bering the influence which the weather, during the last 50 four months, might have had upon its immediate and prospective bearing and interest. " The accounts, as connected with the probable ex tent of the cotton crop, come as usual at this season in a conflicting and contradictory manner. The article has, in the course of the month, in Liverpool, advanced about 4d. per lb. More than a crop of 3,000,000 of bales, we cannot so far say, that we are likely to have. Should such be the case, and providing that nothing arise to call again for the necessity cf raising discounts further, it appears to us tolerably certain that, instead of the raw material declining in value, it will by-and-bye, for a time realise higher rates. " Stocks of both goods and yarns are mft only as light s l t 2 : as they were a month ago, but i n many i ns t ances actu- st. ally lighter. Prices have during the month fluctuated slightly. Now they are all not only as firm as they 16. i were at the commencement of the month, but in many 20 instances higher, with a general upward tendency." 5 INTERPRETERS OF PROPHECY.—The Rev. G. S. Faber, 8.D., has just written a pamphlet to show that Napo leon the Third is the seventh head of a beast mentioned in Revelation, and consequently, saith he, "there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation." Next, the Rev. Mr. Hotham, Woodnesborough, near Sandwich (we must be particular in matters so mighty), preached to his congregation the other day, that in fourteen years the world will be at an end, and that the prophecy would be fulfilled, "Ye shall not know winter from s ummer, nor summer from winter." And, as a climax, the Rev. Dr. Cumming, whose name needs no description, says, in his new book on the Apocalypse, that Rome will be " destroyed by fire from heaven, or swallowed up by earthquakes, or overwhelmed by de struction with volcanoes, as the visible punishment of the Almighty for its Popery."—Bucks Advertiser. PARTIAL DESTRITCTION OF THE SHIP BODERICK, AND Loss OF LIFE. —Last evening a fire of a very alarming and destructive character, and which un f ortunately was attended w ith l oss of life happen e d i n the ship Boderick, 5 00 tons b ur th en, under the command of Captain Hop per, and laden with 150 tons of coal for the Imperial Gas-light Company, which was lying in the Regent's Canal Basin, Limehouse. The flames originated, from some unknown cause, under the decks and when first perceived had obtained, a firm hold of the vessel. During the excitement which prevailed a policeman fell into the dock, and another man, in running to render assistance, likewise fell overboard. The officer was saved by the firemen of th e b rigade, but we regret to say that the other party sa n k, and was not recovered until life was extinct. Two females also fell into the water, but they were rescued in a very exhausted state. Strong fears are also entertained th a t one or two other parties have like wise perished, by falling or being forced by the populace into the water. At the time this report was written the fire was still rushing up the masts, and there appeared little chance of getting the flames subdued for some hours, and thousands upon thousands lined the banks of the canal, witnessing the progress of the devouring ele ment. ROYAL EASTERN YACHT CLUIL—OUX readers will be pleased to learn that there is a prospect of this club being resuscitated from its sleep of 15 years. When it was originally established in 1835, no such thing as a proper yacht harbour existed in the Firth of Forth, where vessels might find ingress and egress at all stages of the tide. As might have been anticipated, in such a state of matters, no yachts were kept ; s uc h as b ad a taste for nautical sports went to the Clyde or elsewhere to enjoy them. Now matters are altogether changed. The noble energy of the Duke of Buccleuch, in calling the harbour of Granton into existence, and the recent improvements in Leith, have conferred a great boon on yachtsmen; and the consequence is that we have now a squadron of some dozen yachts —some of them very handsome vessels—lying in the Queen's Dock. SPRING SYMPTOMS.—The song of the lark, that early harbinger of spring, was heard in the vicinity of Arbroath in the beginning of the present week for the first time this I season. — Northern Warder. 40 25 25 The following is from Messrs. Joseph Robinson and St• Co.'s (of Liverpool) circular : "The wool mark e t l as t m on th h as b een mar k ed by con- St. St. siderable activity. From the dist r i c t s o f manufacture, 50 the complainings of some months past still exist, and, 25 although threats are held out by the consumers, to the 10 growers and importers, that the former will work short St. time, or close their mills altogether, rather than con- 6 tioue at such disadvantage, yet an increase is growing in 25 value from actual scarcity ; from also a large export 50 demand; from consumption abroad and extensive con- 20 sumption at home. Almost every trade report declares to the healthy state of the country, and from the enor mous production and multiplicity of orders, the wool trade would seem to share richly in the benefit. This, however, is not the case at the present, neither has it been for some time ; occasionally it happens, that the raw material rises in value, considerably beyond the margin of a profitable investment for manufacture, and, as this is the state of affairs in the woollen branches, the consumer must regulate his future operations by pre paration, as there is no disposition on the part of holders of wool to accept lower rates. Probably, some degree of curiosity is apparent as to the effect produced by the raising of the rate of discount by the Bank of England ; as stocks of all classes of wool are very light, and no great influx expected, and as there was little to speculate upon, no change occurred in prices, but the recent ad vance was firmly adhered to. The step taken is held judicious, and the - general belief is, that money is cheap enough still. To be brief, the whole of the business of the month has been by private treaty ; it comprises large sales of washed Turkey, East India, Russian, Mogador, Cordova washed, Castel Branco (small parcels), trifling lots of Oporto and Egyptian, Buenos Ayres (greasy and washed), long Bosnia (to arrive), and some few other classes. Most of the purchases have been for export, and are shipped ; in some instances id. per lb. advance is obtainable since December sales. A greater business would have transpired, but for the small quantity of wool here generally. The kinds most in request are combing Russian, combing and short E gyp ti an, E ast India, Turkey, &c., &c., supplies of which are much needed. Reports are prevalent that speculative pur chases have been made in Yorkshire, for this market, of Australian wool, and from the arrivals seen the state ment is not without foundation. Scotch.— Some sales have been made in laid Cheviot at very high rates ; about 100 packs of white Cheviots have also changed hands. Much higher prices are now demanded for laid Highland and white Highland ; the latter is all cleared, and the stock of the former was never small for y ears . L a id an d washed cross and Galloway a, have been greedily taken, and few parcels remain ; long st " before clip time it is expected Scotch wools will be all consumed. En g li s h an d I r i s h .—Stocks here are much st.2o reduced, several parcels of fleeces have been sold at an 15 advance of id. per lb. ; what few lots are in farmers' hands, exorbitant rates are asked for; skin participates in the advance and is also scarce; it is purchased as soon 64 as pulled."

About the want logic in th e ar ti c l e under consideration, it appe of ears to us that th e writer falls once or twice unwittingly into self-contr a di c ti on. For instance, he says i n one part that i mme di ately prior to the 2d of De cember, the National Assembly " were resolved to put an end to the Presidency of Louis Napo leon ;" and yet a little further on, in the very next paragraph, he says that " the coup d'etat must ever be considered unjustifiable.

With flaws like these here and there in " the thread of its discourse," the article of leastn " France" is c l ever, and deservas some share, a, of approbation. It concludes with the earnest expression of a hope that the present Go vernment of France may endure.

THE MAGAZINES. BlackwOod.—There are two political articles in the current number of Blackwood, the number for February, one of them very dull, but the other very lively. As, however, is not unfrequently the case, the dull one is the more valuable—its fasce tious rival being little better than a cluster of gro tesque pleasantries. The serious "political" has reference, under the head of " Income-tax Re form," to perhaps, of all, the most imminent diffi culty in the way of administration, the difficulty which has already led in some measure to the downfall of a Cabinet, and which may again, before very long, throw an insurmountable obstacle in the way of the succeeding Government. The comic " political," under the rather long-winded title of " Supplementary Chapters to the History of John Bull," gives a droll and somewhat allegorical resume of recent events in the two Houses of Parliament. First of all, in regard to the Income-tax dissertation. We are gratified, though by no means surprised, to observe that the writer in "Maga," has distinctly pledged that organ of the Tory-Reformers to the innovations sketched out in the Budget of the ex- Chancellor of the Exchequer. Nay, " Ebony" goes yet further than Mr. Disraeli. After characterising the project of the Right Hon. Gentleman (in the words of a well-known resolution) as "wise, just, and beneficial," Blackwood asserts distinctly that the two great principles laid down in reference to the Income Tax in Mr. Disraeli's Fillancial State ment—namely, the extension of the area and the discrimination of precarious incomes--must be re cognised in the reconstruction of the tax, adding, " and without reconstruction, its renewal is im possible 1" But in regar d to these two principles, " Maga," we repeat, goes further than the Ex- Chancellor of the Exchequer. It maintains that " the most natural, consistent, and legitimate course" to be pursued in the matter is, "to extend the assessment to all incomes from realised pro perty, and to all above 501. of uncertain incomes." With . this it would combine " a similar and equally just" enlargement of the House Tax to tene ments of 10/. —and thus, says the writer, the task of remodelling the franchise would be " short and easy." For —such is the closing remark of Black wood upon this great question, and we hon our it for speaking ou t just now so boldly and explicitly —" With an Income Tax and a House Tax justly constituted, you have a self-adjusting test of suf frage at once simple, equitable, and unembarrassed by the cumbrous formalities of registration." What a pity it is that people will not perceive that all these subtle pros and cons might be at once got rid of by resorting to the legitimate source of re venue—a comprehensive and well-organised tax upon property ! Turning to the humorous chap ters by way of supplement to the History of John Bull, the reader will be amused with a merry de_ sciiption of recent occurrences of a ministerial cha ratter, in which all the principal statesmen of the day are introduced in a very transparent masquerade. Squire Bull is in this manner shown to us in a great state of botheration, in consequence of the intrigues and counter-intrigues of—Juggler (mean ing Lord John Russell), of Protocol (Lord Palmer ston), Aguecheek (Aberdeen), Petty (Lansdowne), Bendigo (Bright), Ahoy (Disraeli), Dick Devil's dust (Cobden), Glos.sin (Gladstone), Moleskin (Molesworth), Hum (Hume), Manley (Derby), reference being made, moreover, to the Pope under the name of Peter, to Ireland under the name of Patrick, and to the members of the Brigade under those of Shillelah and Donnybrook. The whole paper is a sort of extravagant charivari, or exaggerated caricat ure . T he opening article of the month, treating of " the Garden" will be found very readable and delightful. It is written by one who confesses his love for his glowing poly anthuses and bright-eyed auriculas. " The older we grow," says he, "the f on d er we b ecome of our garden." It i s a beautiful dispensation. Another contribution, entitled " A Gli mpse i nto the Eleusinian Mysteries," will prove on examination, as might be expected from its designation, at once classical and mystical in its character. Besides a notice of " Palissy the Potter," and a tale of Indian Progress, called " The Romance of Mairawara," and a paper on the " Oxford University Commission Report," there is another instalment of the story commenced last month, under the title of " Lady Lee's Widowhood." ----- isrownson's Quarterly .—A new competitor for public favour in England has here made its appear ance. It is a literary flower transplanted from the other side of the Atlantic. In other words, it is periodical entitled as above, published evethan„ October. namely every January, April, Jul ly, and October. Its publication has hitherto taken plaoe exclusively in America. Henceforth it will appear from quarter to quarter simultaneously in England. and in the United States. The first nuntber of the reprint (the number before us), which ii No. I. of the third series, is peculiarly No. I. of the English Edition. Conducted by the gentleman whose name it bears, the work is devoted to the lofty subjects of religion, philosophy, and general literature. I n order, of course, to enhance in some measure the interest of each reprint amongst ourselves, Mr. Brovrnson has authorised the publisher of the Eng lish edition, Mr. Cha r l es D oleman, of 61,New Bond street, and 22, Paternoster -row—to accompany each copy o f t h e re a print with an ext ra s h ee t b y y wa of ppendix, containing reviews and notices of new works of Catholic interest, published in Great Great Britain or the Continent.. " This additional matter," says the advertisement, "is committed to the charge of a literary gentleman of competent ability." From the merits of the initial number of the periodical here submitted to our examina tion we are disposed to augur well for the repub lication in England of Brownson's Quarterly _Review, a work which gives fair promise of satisfying some of the hith er t o neglected wants of the Roman Ca tholics of the United Kingdom. -------=, i Ii t t ORDINARY BIRTH OF A CHILD WITH Two SE/D3. —One of the most extraordinary freaks of nature hap pened a few days ago in Berwick-street, Oxford -street. Mrs. Emma Echert, the wife of a wealthy tailor, of No. 65 in the above street, was confined, and brought into the world a full-grown female child, with two distinct heads and necks. What made it more surprising was, that one head came into the world three hours and a half before the other and the remainder of the body. The labour was effected by means of instruments by Dr. Richards, o f B e df ord-square, who informed the reporter that the extraordinary phenomenon was alive and healthy to within a few minutes of its delivery. The length of the body, which is preserved, and in th e pos session of Mr. E c h ert, is 19i inches ; width from shoul der to should er, 9 i inches, and perfect i n proportion. It is rather s i ngu l ar that Mrs. Echert dreamt, a fort night prior to her confinement, that she would be deli vered of a child with two heads. Several eminent medi cal gentlemen visited Mr. Echert's establishment on Saturday, and expressed their astonishment that the lady survived under such extraordinary pains of labour. THE MANCHESTER SOCIETY FOR REGULATING BEER HOUSES.—A meeting of this society took place at the Town-hall, Manchester, yesterday morning. The gen tlemen present were mostly clergymen and ministers of religion. Mr. W. Fairbairn, C.E., presided, and said he doubted the legislative propriety of promot ing free trade in intoxicating liquors, or of e x t en di ng houses of en t erta i nment on that prii.oplo ; and he thought it was not proper for Government to derive a revenue from the sale of that which tended to of the p eo pl e . the dem ora li sation He ho ped the society would get up a petition to Parliament for getting rid of the evil. A report was read from the committee, and a variety of speeches were made by clergymen. One of them, the Rev. Hart Ethelston, spoke of the serious evil of per gin palaces to be open on Sundays for the sale of "liquid fire" and "distilled damnation." Mr. Miller, surgeon, made a temperance speech. The Rev. J. J. Taylor, Unitarian minister, said he felt a doubt as to how far he had a right to interfere with the action of any class of men, but he had seen so much evil resulting from the present system that he thought a case was made out for interference. Supposing that only adults were ix fured b the sytem, perh a p s th ey had no right to inter ere wit h their l s iberty ; but it was known that a large proportion of the people who went to such houses were boys and youths under 18 or 20 —persons who had not arrived at years of discretion —and he had no doubt as to our right to protect them. The Rev. Robert Lamb thought, considering the rapid increase of our towns, sufficient means had not been taken to check crime. a large portion of which was traceable to drunken. ness ; and he was for the removal of drunkenness as much as possible and all incentives to it. The Rev. J. L. Poore said the playing at dominoes, cards, and other ch ance games, enticed man billiards, y young people such hous es ,. an d led them on to intemperate hab to its. Mr. W. G. Gi nty said he did not agree with the propo sal of the society to get beer houses placed under the care of the magistrates to be licensed as public houses were, because he had been engaged with some other of the members of this society in getting up statistics, and it had been found as the result of careful observation in gathering those statistics that there was more drunken. ness and demoralisation in those houses that were under the thumb of the magistrates than in the beer houses. " A NEW MOTIVE PowEs."—Under this title we find the following in an American paper :—" A new motive power applicable to all engines now in use on steam-ships or on the land has just been dis covered, being the practical result of over ten years' labour, ' study, and experiment on this subject. By this invention the heavy, expensive, and dangerous boiler now in use can be dispensed with, and a light, simple, compact, and cheap apparatus constructed and ap plied in their stead, in connection with the engine, with slight alterations therein, which will save 90 per cent. of the fuel now required to generate and usefully apply any given amount of power. A new engine has also been devised and perfected for stationary or loco motive purposes, upon land or water, which can be con structed and applied in connection with the new motive power, at one-half the expense and one-half the weight required to construct an engine of equal power on any other known plan, thereby gaining a great advan tage by light machinery—a point of great importance in vessels upon th e water. A new propeller, or new mo de of o a n pp t l he ythg the power oceanorrive of h rivers, has h t as e engines al eebe to the enperf water on eetedinth v e es p s ae ela t sixmonths, acdtentheerouanghd the ee wholebottom powero fthoef vessel, w here w th h e ic w h a w te i r il is the engines will be expend e d i n d r i v i ng the vessel rapidly forward, without any loss or s t ra i n f rom indirect action especially in rough water on the ocean, such as is there necessarily connected with side wheels and stern pr o . p ners. The gain by these three important and valuable im e provements, in lightness of structure of machinery, directness and e ffi ciency of action of the power, and small expense for, and light weight of, fuel necessary to be carried, together with the advantage of greatly diminished resistance to the vessel in moving rapidly through the water , obtainable by the new model, which has been tested in the last six months, and its advantages fully proved, when combined in one vessel, especially in so large a vessel as the pro jected iron ocean steamer Leviathan, 700 feet long, will render ocean navigation so economical, regular, safe, profitable, and rapid as to distance all cometition and make profit therefrom by millions annually .' We understand that Viscount Stratford de Reddliffe, on the retirement of the Earl of Derby's Admtration, placed his resignation —as ambassador to the Ottoman Porte—in the hands of the Earl of Aberdeen. The noble viscount has since been requested to retain the appointment in which his distinguished talents have rendered such impo Great B r it a i n ; ant services t o th e i nterests of and it is hoped that he may consent to change his previously expressed determination. OCCUPATIONS OL THE ROYAL CHILDREN.—The follow lug details of the manner in which the day is filled up by the children of Queen Victoria are given by a weekly paper, "on reliable authority," —They rise early, breakfast at eight, and dine at two. Their various occupations are allotted out with almost military exactness. Oue hour finds them engaged in the studyof the ancient, another of the modern authors—their ac quaintanceship with languages being first founded on a thorough knowledge of their grammatical construation, and then, afterwards familiarised and and perfected by conversaiion. Next they are trained in those military exercises which give dignity c and fill ed iupand bearing. Another hour is agreeably with the lighter accomplishments o in the various where they may be seen deeply intereste d . danc ing. Again the little party assemble in the t m he lls ri i riding-school, and the lighter accomplish the further exercise of music evolutions of the manege. Thence, while . drawing . and m ents call off the attention of their sisters, the young princes proceed to busily engage thenaselvesi in a - carpenter's - shop, fitted up expressly f or them, with tools essent ia l to a perfect knowl e d ge of the craft They thus early become not only theoretically but practi cally acquainted with the useful arts of life ; a small labo ratory ee is occasionally brought into requisiton at the in and .3 f their father. Thi s d one, the young carpenters students throw down their saws and axes, unbuckle their philosophy, and shoulder their miniature percus sion guns—which they h andle with the dexterity of dpractical sportsmen—for a shooting stroll the royal gar ens.The evening meal, the preparation for the morn ing's lessons, and brief religious instruction close the day. NOTTINGHAM, Jan. 2 7. —The lace trade is improving a little, and there is every reason to expect a further in. crease in demand shortly, as the business to the colonies for both lace and hosiery seems to require a considerably extended supply ; the home trade for each of these articles is improving. The price of yarn is unchanged:---Notting• 4ara Journal Fraser.—A petulant attack is made this mouth, by one of the political contributors to Fraser, upon the career, talents, and character of one of the most conspicuous public writers in France—M. de La Gueronniere. It is quite impossible to shut one's eyes against the fierce passion, the spite, a n d the di sa pp o i ntment which manifest themselves throughout the effusion —an effusion having refer ence to " Napoleon lll.—lnvasion —French Pam phlets, and the English Press." The truth is, that Fraser, after flaming and blustering in company with so many publications on this side of the Chan nel, finds its once congenial contemporaries drop ping off one by one —the scales of prejudice falling from their eyes—the atrocity of the war-cry laid bare to their full and candid recognition. Left in the lurch, Regina suddenly finds herself almost "alone in her glory," still industriously fuming and splutt er i ng against the French Emperor, the Plebiscite, and the coup d'etat of the 2d of Decem ber. Irritated at this into a new and still more intolerable state of irritation, Fraser tu rns i n it s rage upon p oor , unfortunate M. de La Gueron there. He is attacked as everything most horrible and contemptible. He is a knave and a traitor, a false friend and a sycophant, a hireling and a parasite. He is said to write praise, paid for in "so many golden louis d'or, or so many th ousan d fi ve - franc pieces. " So many " golden louis d'or," by the way, is one of the oddest illustrations imaginable of " gilding refined gold." Mr. Cobden had better be on the alert, for surely his turn must come next, now that the writer in Fraser has poured out the vial of his abuse on the head of M. do La Gueronniere. And Mr. Bright next—and Lord Palmerston—and the late Duke of Wellington —and Lord Malmesbury (but no, Lord Malmesbury has a side-hit even in the number for February), and then one after another, through al most every individual one of our contemporaries. For the " base exception " is forgotten, as such, in thenow almost unanimous voice of the press of Eng land! We turn from this "fire and fury," which really "signifieth nothing "—and we do so with a shrug of the shoulders. The magazine is not, however, by any means devoid this month of readable con tributions. The verses on the " Last Words of Napoleon and Wellington" would be better if they w,,mereemith of st true. or But we Helena," e woeulnad,,,rbeyferbrtahvee will find honesttl i wasrtheatet old General Montholon, where he will not find ~ Napoleon's l as t exc l ama ti on d'armee," but th e name of his first wife, the be loved "Josephine." There is another instahnent, of course, of " Hypatia," by the Rev. Ch ar l es Kingsley. Fancy a clergyman singing us a song, the first words of which are— " Lips were made only to kiss ! Hands were made only to toy !" A very able criticism on " Classical School Books" will be read with pleasure by every scholar —saving and excepting the one who has called forth the re view, Mr. T. K. Arnold. A chapter on poor chrietopher Marlowe" is, to our thinking, the pleasantest of all the contributions. - -- Tait.—The meagre commencement of what seems t o be a rather elaborated paper on " Moliere " ushers in the num b er of Tait for February. Tie most happily-ti me d of all the contributions in this number, however, is the eleventh paper on the Go vernments of Continental Europe, a paper having especial reference to "France." Although we can re cognise but very little logic in the argument of the writer, we regard the general tendency of the article as sufficiently humane and enlightened to warrant from us some words of commendation. The opening of the article is curious enough, for it Purports to be derived from the memoranda of a conversation which took place no less than twenty years ago in P ar i s . I n th i s conversation the chequered history of France is " read" from a handful of the co i n s t ruc k off i n that country under Louis XVI., the Republic, the Consulate, the .Em pire, Louis VIII., Charles X., Louis Philippe, (to.

READING- IN BED.—A very painful occurrenCe hap pened at Redmarley rectory on .Monday night last, by which the Rev. James Commehne, late rector of that parish, lost his life. It appears 'late h ector the time of the fatal catastrophe, the rev. gentlema.n was in the last stage of a fatal illness, and a rev. friend was staying in his house, and intended on the following morning to have administered te sacrament to plug morning Comme line about eleven o'clock on Monday night, was read ing In bed, the book . being placed on a reading -stand at his bedside, and it is supposed that he had dozed off for a few minutes, as the inmates . of his house were suddenly alarmed by hearing his screams, and on rush ing into the room they found the bed in flames, and the room filled with smoke. The rev. gentleman was speedily extricated, but he was found to have been badly burned, and on the Wednesday following he expired.—Gloucester Chronicle. SPO.RTI TATTI :RSALL'S—MONDAT.

SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCLXVIII. ANALYSIS OF THE SEVENTY-FOURTH DERBY. - In order to bring this analysis of the Derby to as speedy a termination as I can, consistently with justice to the subject, I shala from now to the conclusion of my task, condense my observations on all but the " cele brities," into the smallest space possible. ALEXANDER TAYLOR, Fyfield-house, Marlborough, has no less than seven Derby nags in training, the property of Mr. J. M. Stan ley ; five of whom, viz., ch c THE DANDY, by the Ugly Buck, out of Maria, by Sir Hercules , nominated by Mr. H. Baker ; ch c COYLIYBANTES, by Scamand er , out of Dinah, nominated by Mr. J. Barnard ; br c VETERAN, by Old England, out of Vat, nominated by Sir J. Hawley ; eh c MASSENA, by Don John, out of Decision, nominated by Sir Joseph Hawley ; and b f BLOOMER, by Melbourne, out of Lady Sarah, nominated by Sir Joseph Hawley, are of not the least use for the Derby ; although I have but little doubt that the Dandy and Veteran will be heard of satisfactorily in the handicap department. The two b colts nominated by Sir J. Hawley—NOßTH POLE, by Orlando, out of Enterprise, and ORINOCO, by Orlando, out of Regalia's dam—are much better animals then the preceding for Derby purposes, but not good enough, I fancy, by some seven pounds, at least, for a win. The performances of the former are of a fairish stamp, as he figured a good fourth in the Criterion, and carrying the top weight (Bst 71b) was third to the Treacherous filly in the Second Class Nursery Stakes, conceding to her the stiff allow ance of 241bs. Orinoco's performances, although not first rate, are also very fair. At Doncaster he finished second to Vindex for the Champagne ; and at Newmarket won the Clearwell by a head, beating Estrella, Filbert, and four others. With 61bs. extra he ran a good fourth for the Prendergast ; won by Sittingbourne. E. JONES, Of Marlborough, has a couple of tolerably good animals in training for this race, viz., Mr. B. Way's b c BRouicirr, by Melbourne, out of Miss Slick, who, in his only ap pearance in public at the Newmarket First October Meeting, won the Hopeful Stakes by a neck from Vaultress, beating Sylphi ne and six others ; and Mr. C. Liley's ch c TAVISTOCK, bp Oakley, out of Brenna, the winner of two races out of five. The latter horse is of little or no use for the Derby, although not improbably he may figure as a starter.. He is already a good favourite for a couple of the spring handicaps ; for one or both of whom I expect he will run exceedingly well. With re spect to Brocket, this horse originally broken and tried by John Day, but supposed to be devoid of good quali ties, was transferred to his present, trainer, who has managed to make something of him. I 'think his forte is speed, and that he is deficient in staying qualities ; consequently he will not do for the Derby. Mr. J. Dixon's cby Bay Middleton, out of Ceetus, has been out of training for a length of time. Treen, of Beckhampton, had a horse of Mr. Wrinch's in preparation some time since, a br c ALINGTON (h.b.) by Sir Hercules, out of Dexterous' dam, but what has become of it I cannot say. PERCY, Of Pimpern, Blandford, has a couple of Mr. Herbert's and one of Mr. Cooper's nominations for the Derby in training, viz., b c TUE FRIAR, by Cowl, out of Alumette, belonging to the latter gentleman ; and b c LETIIS, by Bay Middleton, out of Miss Letty ; and ch c GRAND DUKE MR/KARL, by Sir Hercules, out of Empress, be longing to the former. They have not the smallest pre tensions to Derby honours. T. STEVNS, Of Lime Tree C o tt age, Chilton, E has a couple of Derby horses under his oare, viz. his own, b c Carraorr, by Cowl, out of Bl aoe h e of Devon, nominated by Mr. W. Gulliver, a winner o f t wo races out of eight ; and Sir C. RushOut's ch c ETHELBERT, by Faugh-a-Ballagh, out of Espoir, who has started four times, and been four times beaten. Captain Archdall's ch c HAYNAII, by Barrier, out of Medea, and Mr. Cowley's br c FRIAR Tucx, by Old Ergland, out of Mendicant, nominated by Sir Joseph Hawley, have been put out of training. Of course I need not observe that the Derby winner is not in Stevens' stable. SPIRIT OF THE TURF, THE Two THOUSAND GUINEAS-it is said, bar acci dEnts, that the field for this stake will be composed of West Australian, Sittingbourne, the Reiver, Mr. Sykes, Tewton, Barbatus, one of Lord Exeter's, one of Mr. Stanley's, and perhap s Ninnyhammer. have not be en able to tain a"y information that can be relied on about Cheddar, Break-o'-day -boy, Erycthon, or Osiris. It is supposed, however, that the first named will not appear in public this year before the day of days in May. West Australian is doing a good work; and so admiraly suited for the Rowley Mile course, as he is, will be A 1, or there abouts, on the day. Sittingbourne looks and goes un commonly well. He ought to be in the vicinity, if not the occupant, of the second place. Barbatus will run respectably ; but nothing would so little astonish me as seeing the Reiver bowl the lot over. Mum is the word respecting Ninnyhammer at present. He is a remark ably fine animal, but has not been altogether "the thing" latterly. INTELLIGENCE EXTRA. LINCOLN SPRING MEETING. TUESDAY.
