THE LATE ELECTIONS IN PARIS.

The Rerue de PEmpire thus characterises the
result of the meat election in Paris :—" The double else-
tioe which has seat to the Corps Legialatif two members of
the provisional government is a defeat for the government,
—a defeat for the great party of order sad liberty. The
Revolution alone has gained thereby. This is the sad—the
almost alarming—aspect of this manifestation of uni-
versal suffrage. It is not possible for anyone to be
deceived respecting the meaning of the recent vote. Bono
journals have endeavoured to make it appear that the
majority on the side of the euccesaf n 1 candidates was due to
their declarations in favour of Poland, and their warlike pro-
fessions of faith. Bat no one believes is this posthumous
joatilication, offered by people who are terrified at their own
work. We must avow it aboveboard, that in voting for MM.
Carrot and Gamier Pees, the people of Paris desired to
manifest their sympathies for the revolutionary democracy,
and not for the principle of nationalities. It is not Poland
that thirty thousand voters have proclaimed, but the pro-
visional government of 1848—the republic. This is the danger
—this is the evil."

THI CALVIW TERCENTENARY. —With regard to
the preppie' for celebratiog the three-hundredth sealver-
s•ry of Calvin's death at Geneva, a ocedict is likely to arise
between the Consistory and the Society of Pastors. The
latter body are in favour of celebrating the anniversary.
The former are opposed thereto, and would refuse, it is
said, the nee of the national churches for this purpose.
This opposition, says La Prase, is founded on the intole-
rance of Calvin, who permitted Servetus to be burned at •
slow fire at Geneva for disputing with him on the doctrine
of the Trinity.

The Nurrmbrirg Courier has the following :—" A
melancholy evast has jest occurred which has created an
immense sensation, particularly among the higher classes of
society in this city. The Countess F., only 37 years of age,
and Detain to one of the highest state fuoetionaries, at-
tempted to commit suicide lately, at Baden, by discharging
a pistol at her breast. In her pocket was found a letter
from a gentleman to whom she wet engaged, in which he
announced that circumstances would not allow him to
marry her for the moment, and released her from the con-
wit she bad given to the union projected between them.
It appears that the ►oung countess still lives, but that no
hopse are entertained of her recovery."
The Figaro Programme says :—" A duel with
swords took piece three days ago at La Vara:me-Saint-
Maur between M. L—. a Mann man, aad M. D—, an
advocate, when the latter was slightly wounded in the arm.
The cause of the meeting was, it is said, a discussion on
Alfred de Mitsset, which took Ogee at a dinner which every
fortaight unites together literary men, advocates, musicians,
medical men, photographers, &c. Another duel with
similar weapons was fought on the following day between
M. Redrigue,ao ageobdaehange, sod M. Tony
editor of the Nain Jaunc, in which the latter received a
scratch in the arm."

GREAT LUXEMBOURG RAILWAY.

The directors' report for the half-year endin;
the Mat December lest hes bona issued. While the groin
recaps. of the halt-year of 1863 have exceeded those of
1861 by 18,2141. 12s. 3d., and of 1862 by 1,2301.
135., the net earniop of 1663 are inferior to tLose
of 1862 by the sum of 733/. 7s. 7d. This diminution
is explained by an increase of b 36/. 124. Ild. in
the amount paid for Belgian government duly.
The proportion of the working expenses to the grove receipts
is 451 per cent. Thin is inclusive of 1,6241. 16e. 3d. ex.
petaled in relaying 61 miles of the permanent way. The
rolling stock, as well as the permanent way and works,
have been maintained in good workiog order. It will be
seen on referring to the detailed mooning of expenditure
massed to the report, that the outlay on these objects has
amounted to 21,5111. ss. 10d., being 1,9051. 18e. 4d, in ex-
' coo of the expenditure for the corresponding period of
1862. The maintenance in good repair of the way Lod
rolling stock is not only the best guarantee for security and
regularity in the working of the railway, but it is a maim
of assuring economy in other portions of the working
LI charges. As en example of this, there has bees a reduction
to the locomotive expenses of 859/. 3s. 6d., arid that not-
witbstrodiog an increase of 7,552 miles in the distance run
by the trains. 61 mike of permansat way have been plaid,
a portion of the rails taken up not beta( worn out will be
employed for sidings on the Ourtlee line, and thus render
unnecessary the pure-bass of new rails fey that purpose.
Although the traffic receipts of the past year are very little
superior to those of the corresponding half of 1862, the di-
rectors are confident that the traffic has not yet attained its
full development, and that a e.usiderable increase is to be
expected.

TO THI EDITOR Or THE ISMS&

Sias,—ln the heart of Vanity Fair stands a
chapel named somewhat ironically after one whose " Md.
meat was of camel's hair," and whose " mast was locusts
sad wild hooey." Lost Sunday morning, accompanied by a
friend, I entered this fashionable edifice, but we had barely
mooed the threshold, when our further progress was ar-
rested by a pewopener who peremptorily informed us that
there was no room. We were about to depart, when a
friendly Countess offered one of us • seat in her pew.
" Friends of your ladyship ! 06, then I can find room,"
said the pew-opener, and I was forthwith conducted to the
chancel and lodged in a strU, when to my surprise I found
at least • dozen empty seats around me, which continued
unoccupied throughout the service, in fact at no time was
the church more than two-thirds fall.

The congregation was so erclusirely composed of " oar
own set" that it was difficult to divest one's mind of the
idea that it wee a contioustiou of last night's dru.n. The
air was laden with perftur.es wafted from m►sy a cambric
kerchief, and the clinking of clasps and scent bottles alone
disturbed the sacred star mess of the place, for the few
coughs that the March winds had scattered among us were
not hearty like those of charity children, but ladylike and
subdued. The service was read in a quiet gentlemanlike
tone, and the singing was calm, and free from all vulgar
eartiestoese

The preacher took for his text, " Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth ;" sad of the poor he re-
marked with emphasis, "Their'. is the kiagdom of
Heaven." Indeed, the whole drift of his dia.
DOOM seemed to be, that so far as salvation
was concerned it was " all up" with his flock, wbo to my
surprise seemed rather to enjoy Win titillated " all mug
and cosy among ourselves." Perhaps it is for this reason
that no plebeians are admitted to witness the flagellation
of their superiors, but I do think, sir, that io the house
of Him who is "no respecter of persons" one of the mazy
vacant seats might be give• to a 'renderer wbo eaten that
house to pray, ern though he should fail to satisfy the
pew-opener that he is the friend of a countcse.—l am, &c.,

SWEDES AND DENMARK.

Advices from Copenhagen, of the evening of the
16th inst., state that, at a festival given at Stock-
holm on the 11th inst., Count de Manderstroem
(the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs) expressed
his regret that the efforts of Sweden bad been mis-
interpreted. The minister is reported to have
said :
The devotion of Bing Charles to Denmark and to the
late King, Frederick VII., is known. Three is not a member
in the Conseil of the King who dose not warmly
sympathise with the sufferings of Denmark, and who
does not feel indignant at the unjustifiable and violent
treatment inflicted upon a small but courageous nation
which is defending its independence. Other go►ern-
ments have thought they could appease the excitement
by putting on • pressure, but the question has now
reached • stage and amerced proportions which exceeds
their power. The Minister. of Foreign Affairs of the court
of St. James's has only raised • corner of the veil. The de.
clarations made by Sweden at the end of lzei3 were conform-
able to those of the month of September. In the month of
February, Sweden urgently requested England and Frame
to give energetic support to Denmark, as Sweden and Nor-
way did not wish to withdraw from the obligations imposed
upon them by the treaty of London. Sweden (added Count de
Manderstroem)•was always of opinion that the Danish ques-
tion could not be settled by the sword. The prospect of a con•
greet is uncertain. Sweden is desirous of peace, bat wishes
it to be established in • manner which will insure the right.
of Denmark. Europe (concluded the speaker) cannot
tolerate that the most sacred rights shall be trodden under
foot with impunity ; it is, therefore, our duty to preps'.
ourselves.

mittee of the House of Commons. The memorial wad re-
ferred to the Streets Committee. A report was brought up

ganlen, aid St. Martin-ia-the-fiekla, be named Garrick-

that notice be gives to the District Board of Works.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1884.

the great wave of thought that will have risen
and move onwards. By the way, there is a curious
oversight in the Address which is a little talked
about, and which is, I imagine, a misprint. Sir
Charles says, speaking of the Gulf stream, that it
takes a Borth-Western course across the Atlantic.
This was surely intended to have been a north-
Eastern course.

Passing from grave to gay, the soiree at the
Assembly Rooms last night was at least a very
successful affair, so far as getting the visitors and
members together to do nothing but look at one
another and obat about scienoe and celebrities. I
have been in many orowda, but never in a
hotter or a denser one, at least in the same
strata of society. These Assembly Rooms have
been very handsome, when Beau Nash was the
presiding Genius of Bath ; but now they
are singularly dingy in decoration. The prevailing
tone of colour is a Quakerbrown, relieved hy peach-
colour trimmings, but all rather faded, and though
abundantly lit with gas and wax candles that gut-
tered in the various draughts from the paimiges, the
genand-illhet was not happy. The upholsterers of
Bath are famous, and so are the dealers in china
and other bric-a-brac, and they had ornamented the
rooms with some really beautiful objects of this
kind in cabinets and stands in various suitable
' places. The Octagon room seemed to be the
favourite resort of the habitues, and here there were
many velvet ottomans, and in the centre was a
large one with a centre group of mag-
nificent flowers under the chandelier. And
on this reclined, not houria of Paradise, who should
have been peeping out from under these lovely
flowers, but, dare I say it I—dowagers. The beau-
ties were all in the crushes ; why I know not, unless
it is that they know how lovely they look a little
flushed, with the hair a little scattered, as if
blown by the wanton breeze. There were some
of this complexion that would have turned
Romney's ,or Gainsborough's head, and broken
his heart, perhaps, into the bargain, for
I trove there's a considerable dash of the
" worldly" in the eyes of the Bath beauty. En
revanche there were specimens of the genuine old
jewelled spinster—dried specimens— several with
wonderful hair and such, rare flowers entwined, and
a few with a coiffute of universal frizz, adorably
droll, and singularly calculated to break down the
barriers between masculine and feminine. I feel
convinced that some of them had sat in
these rooms, and played whist, at guinea points,
with the Prince Regent. In the streets and
squares, which are magnificently built and delight-
fully fresh and clean, one sees charming taste in
dress ; and, as to the hair, whether out of oampli-
ment to the moans or not, the young ladies have:
contrived to arrange it under their pretty little;
cockleshell hats in a style which has been named
la trilobite by their philosophic admirers.

NEW YORK,

Sin. 7, liwurnio.

Mr. Stanton announces the receipt of General
Sherman's report of the capture of Atlanta, dated
3rd inst., 26 miles south of Atlanta. Sherman
withdrew on the 30th ult. from around Atlanta,
and reached a point to strike the Macon Road,
Howard with the right being near Jonesboro',
Schofield with the left near Rough and Ready, and
Thomas with the centre at Couch's. The Federal',
finding the enemy at Jonesboro', entrenched them-
selves. Sherman meeting with strong opposition
along the road, advanced his left and centre to the
railroad, and broke the reamed from Rough and
Ready down to Howard's left, near Jonesboro'. By
the same movement Sherman interposed his army
between Atlanta and that portion of the enemy en-
trenched at Jonesboro'. There Sherman made a
general attack upon the enemy, capturing their
works, lOguns, and 1,000 prisoners. The Confederates
retreated south during the night, Sherman follow-
ing the enemy to their lines near Lovejoy's Sta-
tion.

Hood, at Atlanta, finding Sherman on his only
road of supply, and between him and part of his
army, retreated during the night from Atlanta,
after blowing up the magazines. The 20th Corps
of the Federal army then occupied the city.
Sherman states that since May the sth his army
has been constantly in battle or skirmish, and
needed rest. Sherman's losses are 1,200 men. He
has 1,600 prisoners.

No news has been received from Sherman since
the 4th, telegraphic communication between At-
lanta and Nashville having been cut.
Wheeler has damaged the railroad in Sherman's
rear. It is reported that Wheeler has been driven
off. Farragut and Granger are actively preparing
for the attack on Mobile.

President Lincoln has ordered a day of thanks-
giving for the victories at Atlanta and Mobile, and
has tendered his thanks to Admiral Ferrara and
General Sherman. Salutes have been ordered in
honour of the victories.

General Gillam has surprised and killed the
guerilla General Morgan at Greenville, Tennessee,
capturing his staff.
Early is still confronting Sheridan in the She-
nandoah Valley.
The draft in New York and Brooklyn will not

It is reported that General Fremont has with-
drawn his name as Presidential candidate.

The arrival of the Emperor Maximilian's envoy
at Washington is denied. The consul of Juarez
at Philadelphia has not yet presented his creden-
