France.

At Avignon thaArchbishop came to, the station to compli.
aunt the King..

At 6 o'clock—in the• evening the King of Sardinia arrived at

tion, who crowded the station, the quays, and the streets
through which the Royal coitile had to pass.
His Majesty was received at the entrance of Lyons by his
Excellency Marshal Count de. Castelane, commander-in-chief
of the army at Lyons, and of the Bth military division; by M.
Vaisse, senator,charged with the administration of the de-
partment of the• Rhone ; by the. Mayor of Lyons, and by the

Majesty and, his suite..
On Friday great preparations were made iu Paris for the
reception of the King of Sardinia, At the railway station
detachments of Foot Chasseurs and of the Line kept the
ground, and the• guards of honour within the court were
selected from the Grenadiers and Voltigeurs of the Imperial
Guard. A canopy of crimson velvet, fringed with gold, hung
over the door of the• waiting-room, which had been trans-
oifnofrtamhosedt into•a splendid saloon, hung, with red velvet, fastened
up with gold.. Clusters of flagsbelonging to the allied nations,
with the Daane-of Victor• Emmanuel, and shields with his.royal
arms, completed the ornaments. A rich carpet extendea from

of the. Seine and Police,• and a great number of public func-
tionaries, civil and military, awaited Prince Napoleon at the
railway station. The members of the Council of Administra-
tion, the station masters, and all the employes were• drawn up

At one o'clock precisely the arrival of the royal train was
announced, and in Ave minutes after the locomotive, decked
out with the Sardinian colours, stopped ; the drums beat to
arms, and the full band of the Guides, who were-stationed at
the entrance of the reception room, struck up the Marche de
Savoie. The King, who wore the uniform of a colonel of
hussars, descending from the carriage, was received by Prince
Napoleon, whose- hand he shook warmly, andl replied to the
words of welcorao of the Prince. The royal. cortege entered
the waiting room ; the whole of the persons. who filled it rose,
and received his majesty with acclamations of " Vive le Roi !"
and " Vice le Prince Napoleon !" which were taken up and
repeated by the crowd which thronged tlietiourt of the station
and the approaches to it. The carriages soon drove up in
order at the entrance, and the King and his attendants
entered them. Prince Napoleon and his majesty entered
the same carriage, which was preceded by four outriders,
wearing the imperial livery, and the whole of the
carterge began to move in the following order :—.A,
squadron of Guides, with the band ; three court caz-
nages, preceded each by three outriders ; the Royal eau-
nage, preceded by outriders, and followed by a squadron, oil
Cent-Gardes. Colonel Fleury rode at the right, and Colonel
Ney at the left, and a squadron of the Cuirassiers of the. Im-
perial Guard closed the procession, Though rain was falling,
the crowd was considerable along the line through which the
King passed, and received the Royal visitor with warm aecla-
mations. The cortege soon after entered the Place du Car-
rousel by the passage of the Pavillon de Rohan, and entered
the court of the Tuileries by the triumphal arch. The drums
were beating to arms, the troops presented arms, and the ac-
clamations became louder and loader as the King approached
the Palace.

The apartments of the Pavillon Marsan are those occupied
by the King during his stay at the Tuileries; and the aides-
de-camp, orderly officers, and physician occupy the next apart-
ments.

The arrangements for the King of Sardinia's visit to
England are now definitively settled. His Majesty, accom-
panied by Count Cavour, President of the Council ; the
Chevalier Massimo d'Azeglio, Aide-de-Camp of the King and
Ex-Minister ; the Duke Pasqua, Prefect of the Palace ;
Baron Nigra, Superintendent of the King's Household ;
Major-General Count Morozzo della Rocca, First Aide-de-
Camp of the King : Major-General Marquis d'Angrogna,
Aide-de-Camp of the King ; Major-General the Chevalier
Carderina, Aide-de-Camp of the King; Count Cigala, Colonel
of Cavalry ; the Chevalier Persano, Captain of the Navy,
Commander of the Port of Genoa ; Count de Robillant,
Captain of Artillery, Officer of Ordnance of the King; Count
Valperga Barone, Officer of Ordnance of the King ; and
Professor Riberi, First Physician of the King, will leave Paris
on the 29th, arrive in London on the 30th of this month, and
thence proceed to Windsor.

This is rather earlier than was generally expected, it being
previously understood that the Royal visitor would arrive on
the 2nd or Ord of December.

PRINCE ALBERT AT BIRMINGHA3I.

ON Thursday, H.R.H. Prince Albert visited Birmingham,
for the purpose of laying the first stone of the Birmingham
and Midland Institute,—an institution intended for the ad-
vancement of science and art amongst the middle and working
classes.

After the usual ceremonies, and the presentation of ad-
dresses from various public bodies, the parties proceeded to
the Town Hall, where a banquet was partaken of by about
five hundred persons. In returning thanks for the toast of
his health, Prince Albert said,—l am much obliged to you,
my lord, for proposing my health in such kind terms, and I
cannot but be much gratified by the cordial reception which
you, gentlemen, have been pleased to give to this toast. It
has been a great pleasure to me to have been able to partici-
pate,-in however trifling a degree, in a work which Ido not
look upon as a simple act of worldly wisdom on the part of
this great town and locality, but as one of the first public
acknowledgments of a principle which is daily forcing its
way among us, and is destined to play a great and im-
portant part in the future development of this nation and
of the world in general—l mean the introduction of science
and art as the conscious regulators of productive industry.
The courage and spirit of enterprise with which an immense
amount of capital is embarked in industrial pursuits, and
the skill and indefatigable perseverance with which these are
carried on in this country, cannot but excite universal admi-
ration, but in all our operations, whether agricultural or
manufacturing, it is not we who operate, but the laws of
nature, which we have set in operation. It is, then, of the
highest importance that we should know these laws, in order
to know what we are about, and the reason why certain things
are which occur daily under our hands, and what course we
are to pursue with regard to them. Without such knowledge
we are condemned to one of three states :—either we merely
go on to do things just as our fathers did, and for no other
reason than because they did them so; or trusting to some
personal authority, we adopt at random the recommedation
of some specific, in a speculative hope that it may answer; or,
lastly—and this is the most favourable case —we ourselves
improve upon certain processes; but this can only be the
result of an experience hardly earned and dearly bought, and
which, after all, can only embrace a comparatively short space
of time, and a small number of experiments. From none of these
causes can we hope for much progress ; for the mind, however
ingenious, has no materials to work with, and remains in presence
of phenomena the causes of which are hidden from it. But
these laws of nature—these Divine laws—are capable of being
discovered and understood, and of being taught, and made our
own. This is the task of science; and, while science discovers
and teaches these laws, art teaches their' application. No pur-
suit is, therefore, too insignificant not to be capable of becom-
ing the subject both of a science and an art. The fine arts
(as far as they relate to painting and sculpture) which are
sometimes confounded with art in general, rest on the appli-
cation of the laws-of form and colder, and what may be called
the science of the' beautiful. They do not rest on any arbitrary
theory on the modes of producing pleasurable emotions, but
follow fixed laws, more difficult, perhaps, to seize than those
regulating the material world, because belonging partly to
the sphere of the ideal and our spiritual essence, yet perfectly
appreciable and teachable, both abstractedly and histori-
cally, from the works of different ages and nations.- No hu-
man pursuits make any material progress until science be
brought to bear upon them. We have seen, accordingly, many
of them slumber for centuries ; but from the moment that
science has touched them with her magic wand, they have
sprung forward, and taken strides which amaze andialmost
awe the beholder. Look at the transformation which has
gone on around us since the laws of gravitation, electricity,
magnetism, and the expansive power of heat have become
known to us. It has altered our whole state of existence—
one might say, the whole face- of the globe ! We owe this
to, science, and to science alone; and she has other treasures-
in store for us, if we will but call- her to our assistance. it is,
sometimes objected by the ignorant, that science is uncertain,
and changeable ; and they point to the many exploded theories•
which have been superseded by others as a proof that the-
present knowledge may be also unsound, and, after all, not
worth having. But they are not aware that, while they think
to cast blame upon science, they bestow, in fact, the highest
praise upon her ; for that is preciselY the difference between
science and prejudice, that the latter keeps stubbornly to
its position, whether disproved or not,. while the former is
an unarrestable movement towards the fountain of truth,—
caring littlelor cherished authorities' or sentiments, but con-
tinually prop'essing—feeling no false' shame at her short-
comings, but,. on the contrary, the highestpleasure, when freed
from an error, at having advanced another step towards the
attainment of Divine truth —a pleasure not even intelligible to
the pride of ignorance.- We also hear. not unfrequently,
science and practice, scientific knowledge- and common sense,
contrasted as antagonistic. A strange error! For science is

laws. by which the'Aimighty governs the uni -se-is therefore of t
seata of education,have, rather arbitrarily, selected only two
spheres-or groups (as-I may call them,) as essential parts of
our• national education —the laws which regulate quantities
and.proportions,-which form the subject of mathematics, and
the-laws-regulating the expression of our th3ughts through
the-medium of language—that is to say grammar, which finds
its purest expressionlin the classical languages:. These laws
are-most important branches of knowledge; their study trains
and elevates the mind Red they arc not the only-ones; there
are others which we•- eannot-disregard—whichlvecannot do
without. There are;. for instance, the laws governing the
human mind and its relation to the Divine Flgrit—the sub-
jects of logic and-metaphysics. There are thosowhich govern
our -bodily nature undits connexion with the soul-i—the subject
of physiology and psychology. Those which =vern human
society and the relations between man and man—the subjects of
politics, jurisprudencei. political economy, aneli many. others.
While of the laws just mentioned some have been recognized
as essentials of education in different institutions, and some
will, in the course of time, more fully assert their right b
recognition, the laws regulating matter and form are those
which will constitute •the chief objects of your:pursuits,• and
as the principle of subdivision of labour is the-one most con-
genial to our age,. I would advise you to,,keep to this
speciality, and to follow with undivided attention chiefly the-
sciences of mechanics, physics, and chymistry; - and the thw-
arts in painting, sculpture, and architecture.' You will thus
have conferred an inestimable boon upon yonrreountry, and
in a short time have the satisfaction of witnessing the bena-
filial results upon our:: national powers of production. Other-
parts of the country will,. I doubt not, emulate,your example,
and I live in hopes that all these institutions:-will some der,
find a central point ef, union, and thus complete their national.
organization. Thanking you once more for:having allowed
me to assist at the foundation of your institution, I wish it:
growth, vigour, and prosperity, with all my Mart.

THE CASE OH ARCIIDEACOIDENISOIK

IN the Court of Queen's Bench, on Thursday, Sir Fitzroy -1

rule calling upon the Archbishop of Canterbury to show causer
why a writ of mandamus to compel him to proceed against.
the Ven. George Anthony Denison, Archdeacon of Taunton,:
by writing, commanding him to appear and answer to certain
articles exhibited). and to proceed to pronounce sentencv
according to the-provisions of the 3rd and 4th Victoria, cap.
86, the Church Discipline Act, and give effect to the finding
of the commission: issued thereunder. The learned counsel

tute proceedings under the act of paeliament which provided
the mode which the proceedings should be carried
out against- a clerk in holy orders committing an
ecclesiasticali offence ; and in the event of the Bishop
himself declining to interfere kg himself, or refusing to
proceed by letters of request, then upon application
made to the Archbishop of the diocese he was empowered to
issue a commission. The commissioners were to prceeed and ,
examinewitnesses, who were to, give their opinion.whether
there was prima facie evidence akat it was proper- that fur-
ther proceedings should be taken. The late Bishop-of Bath
and Wells had declined to proceed or interfere, as didtalso the
present Bishop, Lord Auckland and upon which 1 Ditcher
determined himself to proceed under the 24th section of the
act, and applied to the Archbishop of Canterbury„who issued
his commission. The commissioners met in January last, the
Archdeacon being present, and witnesses examined,. the result
being, that the commissioners made their report, to. the Arch-
bishop:stating that there was prima facie evidence-to proceed.
Mr: Justice Colderidge.—Can the Archbishop, proceed to
jedgnaent without the-consent of the party ?-
Sir F. Kelly.—The Archbishop was to summon the party
tomppear and answer to> the articles to be. exhibited against
him; and if he failed ta appear, or, appearing, failed to an-
swer, then the Archbishop was to proceed, to judgment and
sentence, and he saidit was imperative that he should do so,
and not discretionary. He was now the judge, and was bound
to proceed, and could not exercise a discretion by giving his
Veto of refusal. Xt. Ditcher had complied with all the pro-
visions of the act by exhibiting articles and requesting the
Archbishop to proceed by letter of the 9th August ; and on
the 22d the Archbishop, by Mr. Kuyvett, his secretary, re,
fused to proceed further, alleging that his doing so would
be of no gooh ~ as the clergy would not- obey the decision.
The learned counsel was proceeding further with his argu-
ment, when

Lord Cmwbell said enough had been stated for granting
the rule. Rule to show cause accordingly.
