°LOSING OF THE EiIIBMOIIf.
(1011 OVA OWS 00111111001113 NT.)
PARIS, TIMSDAT
I have sever in ay life seen a more entirely soo-
sealed spectacle than the dosing of the Paris Uni-
versal Exhibition. All the accidents' faults of air
reran which occasioned dissuasion to mouy spec-
tator' at the opening, six months ago, were sedulously
avoided, and the organisation of the ceremony may
be pronounced to have bees perfect. There was no
lesouvenient crowding at any of the entrances.
Every ticket of admission bore the number of the door
by which the holder wee to enter, and he was mar-
shalled to his appointed Nest without the least
diSsulty. The tribunes, light and elegant in appear-
me. wore of solid construction, as was hong,
peeved by the abeam of any sedilist. ilea
bombes were of ample width, well Odle& eied
with plenty of room between them. In the moms
of an hour (from ten to eleven o'clock) upwards d
20,000 persons quietly took their comfortable mats
in the vast building, and at the end of that time it
was seen to be " without o'erflowing full." The re-
goalies prescribed by the Nonuser that gentlemen
were to come in evening dress and white cravats was
scrupulously attended to, bat the common sense of
the public interpreted the injunction as not etched-
ing an overcoat, and accordingly there were very
few who did not mesa themselves with a paletot
or cloak of some kind, either worn or mad ea the
arm. The offerers et the doors smile as ob-
jection, and, indeed, had they done so on the sharp
frosty morning, with just sample of a Parisian fog,
which inaugurated this brilliant dayohey must have
been hard-hearted indeed. The court ladies came is
evening dresses, bet in the public tribunes there was
only here sad there a lady without a bonnet, and
fors and warm cloaks predominated. I confess to
have entertained an opinion which I know woe
shared by many, that waiting for two ce three bee
under that glass roof, where there wee no appetites
for warming, would be a woeful shivering badness.
Bat the heavens were propitious. As the sea
ascended towards the meridian height the fog
cleared off, the clear blue sky was sees
through the panes, everybody was in good
humour, sod the cold was not woeth mentioning. I
can testify that (in the English department, et ell
events) the spectators did not find the intern'
between their admission and the opening of the ma-
mmy hang heavy on their hands. There were the,
gorgeous decorations of the Palace to lock at, the
spleadom of the throes the pietams which had
gained the primes, and the metrose of the foreign
embersedere, greet dicers of state, senators, depu-
ties, and constituted bodies, who took up their plai-
ded's, awaiting the Emperor's arrival. Many, very
many, of my countrymen and rountrywomea found
themselves surrounded by troops of friends, and with
them the minutes paged rapidly in pleasant Mat,
seemly Aladin; time to glance at the abundant
feed for curiosity before them. Congratulations to
gainers of medals were heard in all directness, and
those who were dissatisfied with the swards of the
judges kept their opisiom to themselves.
The English residents in Paris were mesa sell
delighted et seeing a member of London potions's
he desk uniform, grata niziog with the merlons de
villa, and assisting in the task, which, as it forts-
merely turned out, was of the very lightest,
Let vestries order. I hope the French
elegem de rills, whose merits, I semi readily
asireowledge, will not be above taking a
limes from their English brethren in the
essessi of doing their duty. The Freed;
polies constable is more polished in his =mums than
the English one, takes at his bat with iotaitely mew
greet, and when he is quits at leisure, mowers a
good= with a greeter appearance of a desire to
sad* the inquirer. Bat moos him in the least, attempt
to explain to him any misomesption of his orders,
try to gain his attention when be is excited from
any canoe whatever, and be becomes a tiger.
The English " Bobby* is a man of few words, not
much addicted to touching his bat to strangers, but
while a model of firmness, prides himself on keeping
his temper. He kern that in the main he is re-
garded by the public, to whom he speaks in the voice
of authority, as their own servant, end not that of
the powers of the day. Hs is therefore sot quick to
perceive rebellion, swept' a Ara diesbediesee merely
as a misunderstanding, and riposte his commands in
a determined bat not angry voice. " Cientlesso, sit
dews," was sometimes slid t3-day by one of our
blneerated men, without immediate effect, bat
when, a minute afterwards, he varied his
accent and interpreted his first remonstrance
by the phrase, " Gentlemen, do keep your
rots," the voles of the mithorieed peiblio re-
minder that fair play wee the right of all was at once
recognised sad obeyed. The Emperor's arrival was
amousced by music, which, from the strength of the
embsetra and the cue with which it was selected,
ought to have been something quits out of the sow
we way, but I find the general opinion to be that
the ereecert was a failure. For some somata reason
or other, it is certain that the offset produced wee very
insignificant. The sounds of the instruments assed
tobestified inthegellery in whist' the primmer' were
placed. But, speaking of scoustim, I meat reties the
almost minailooe feet that the Emperor's speech,
although delivered without any apparent dart, was
hard throughout the building. This phenomena
was the mem ramarkeble, as of Priem Nephew&
diseases% delivered immediately before, sot one
weed was audible in the tribune; nod,&-
deed, none but intense listeners mould be aware
that a human voice wee giving utterance.
I happened to hear the question dimmed, whether
it was possible for any man to speak loud enough to
fill that vest building, not constructed with any view
is facilitate a display of the tribune. The Empower
saved the inquiry, to the astonishment of every ems.
It is certain that he must have taken lemons is the
difficult art of declamation, and that be is a

A month ago it was aseertaioed by recoanalmances
that the main body of the Russians was collected at

thought the first battle would take place. In the

not be undisputed. The Remises. there is so doubt,
