EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, MONDAY iYININO.
The splendour of the Queen's departure has alto-
gether eclipsed that of her arrival. If it were possi-
ble to find a fault it would be this, that the accessories
of the state pageant were so brilliant that her Majesty
did not appear in sufficient relief as the centre of the
picture. Thousands there were who, disappointed
of seeing the Queen on Saturday week last in conse-
quence of her late arrival, paid agaia for seats in the
line of procession. But the magnificent uniforms,
the picked horses of the Guides, and the Cent Gerdes,
the music of the band of Guides, the splendid court
carriage, that preceeded the Queen's equipage and
were continually being mistaken for hers, so
distracted the attention that people complain
they did not see enough of the Queen. The
carriage in which her Majesty rode was the
very one made for the Emperor's wedding. Al-
though class, it is glazed throughout, and the occu-
pants may be seen as plainly as in a barouche. At
the railway station there were six times as many
visitors admitted as on the occasion of the arrival, and
there were, as I learn from the secretary of the rail.
way, 1,000 ladies in grand* toilette.
A despatch from the Prefect of the Somme, dated
Amiens, 3 o'clock, says:—" The Emperor sad the
Queen have this moment left Amiens. The reception
we. brilliant and enthusiastic. Their Majesties ap-
peared much pleased.*

Yesterday, -August 26, being the anniversary of
Prince Albert's birthday, the Emperor conceived the
idea of giving his guest a military salute of a kind'
unusual in England. All the drummers of the vari-
ous corps of the garrison were ordered to Bt. Cloud
early. They mustered et half.peet eight in front of ,

the brlage, all in fall uniform, and headed `dy the
Stator drum-major. They then promedel to the
Cash Monsieur, and immediately comonsoog the
sakute,vrlth which the Royal party were moth amused.
The Queen has authorised the mr.mioipal authori-
ties to give her name to the new 'Aim of communica-
tion opened between the Placa de rHoui de Ville
and the Place du Chatelet.
The Morsilesw says :—'t The Earl of Clarendon,
Minister of Foreign Affairs to her Britannic Majesty,
went yesterday to the Hotel of the French Minister
of Foreign Affairs, and had a long conference with
Count Walswaki."
Marshal Prince Jerome, who cum to Paris from
Havre expressly to pay his respects to the Queen,
left the Palais Royal yesterday at half-past one in a
carriage and four, on a visit to Bt. Cloud.
This evening's Press. says:
The reception given to the Queen of England has bees
grandiose, sympathetic, naanimono—northy, in a word, of
a great nation. From the Court to the populace—from the
Imperial chateaus to the least courtierlike faubourgs—
the demonstrations in favour of the Queen hays been marked

by apropos linearity and courtesy. The reason for this is
that the people nadantand the ideas of which the head of
the state is the representation. In Queiut Victoria the people
salute the parsonilleation of a nation—of a peat and a fres
pimple. The country et the Balks* law has shown to the
female sovereign of Its allied neighbour a deference which Its
own °Destitution does not recognise ; it has accommodated

itself to the etiquette of the English court to such an extent
as to apportion, with marvellous tact and discrimination, the
homage it has respectively awarded to the Queen and Prince
Alm•

The Patrie says at the end of an elaborate article :

When a sovereign calls himself Napoleon 111., and ro-
ndos* in his palm* a Queen of Ragland, passing through
lines of people three leagues long, it is not • simple stone
that he lay• of the edifies of history, but the key of the arch
of hie century."

The Bourse opened somewhat heavily, notwith-
standing the Emperor's letter to General Pelissier,
which, as it announces that Sebastopol must soon
fall, was expected to have occasioned a rise. The
Rents opened at 66fr. 400., being 10a. lower than on
Saturday ; but it being observed that the parquet
was not very mach disposed to sell, the speculators
for the fall began to fear that they had oversold
themselves, and there was a reaction, which brought
the Reate up to 681 r. 800., being a rise on the day of
10c. The railways were exceedingly firm. All the
lines rose from sfr. to 10fr. Austrians rose 15fr.,
and Credit Mobilier 15fr.
