THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO PARIS.

We read in the Comstitutionnal:
The preparations for the arrival of the Queen of England
are actively continued. The temporary junction between
the Northern and Eastern Railways is finished. A trial
was made yesterday by the engineers in chief of both
lines. In the interior of the splendid Strasbourg
station numbers of workmen are employed in com-
pletiog the decoration. A large platform has bees
erected to receive the authorities. The company
is prodigal in gilding and drapery, and will shrink
from no expense to make the reception worthy of the oecaelon.
The entire length of the Boulevard de Strasburg is already
lined with Venetian poles, with but very short intervals
between them. Many triumphal arches are already snak-
ing on the Boulevards. Two in particular are expected to
be very splendid--one subscribed for by the Stock Er-
cheap, and the other by the keepers of cafés on the Bugle-
yards. Workpeople are engaged in making English and
Turkish flags to unite with the French ones for the tro-
phies. One club, whose windows look on the Boulevards,
has purchased 60 of them. The horses of Prince Albert
have already arrived in Paris. At Boulogne-our-Mgr
the preparations are making with equal eagerness ; the
town is having constructed • gigantic triumphal arch
opposite the Custom house, where the landing will take
place. The Northern Railway Company is erecting another
at the terminus. The terminus of Dordogne will rival in
decoration that of Strasburg. Ornaments for it are sent off
from Paris several times a day. The Emperor will leave
Paris on Friday at ono o'clock for Boulogne, to receive
Queen Victoria. Her Majesty will arrive off Boulogne in
the evening of that day, will pass the night cn board her
yacht, and land about noon on Saturday morning. Their
Majesties will leave Boulogne about one o'clock. It Is
I thought that there will be a short stop at Amiens, and that
the principal authorities: will te admitted to present their
homage to the illustrious party.
