=PRESS FROM PARIS.

(irßom ous ows comazerommarr.)

PARIS, THURSDAY EvwIIG.

No one thinks any more of the congress canard,
but it may be worth while to mention that Prince
Wittgenstein, who was said by the "Pa/ma" Gazette
to have arrived in Paris with the news of the
Emperor of Russia's adhesion, has been here for
the last month, that he is the military attaché of
the Russian embassy, and that his only special
mission on his return from a visit to St. Peters-
burg was to bring a decoration for the Imperial
Prinoe. . .

_
It is understood that the committee appointed
at the Empress's suggestion to investigate the treat-
ment of the juvenile prisoners in IA Roquette will
report against the cellular system. The Empress's
name will thus be associated with the abolition of
a punishment, which, in the opinion of a school of
which I am a disciple, is at once cruel and ineffi-
cacious. _ _

A special journal, the Revue Universelle des Mines,
has published a table, from which it results that
public works in Paris from 1852 to 1864, have cost
the state no less than 215 millions of francs.

The long•pending affair of MM. de Cheron and
Clairbois, the polygraph correspondents, is to come
before the appeal court of Orleans on July 21.
But that court, whatever its own opinion may be,
has merely ministerial duty to perform. It must
simply register the decision of the three united
chambers of the Court of Cessation, that the courts
of Paris and Rouen were wrong in holding that a
I polygraphic correspondence was equivalent in its
consequences to the publication of a journal. I
continue not to admire the circumlocution of the
Code Napoleon, which which makes it necessary to
send parties • hundred miles oft to register a result
which might just as well be made final by the
Supreme Court in Paris.
The Marquis de Boiwy is about to publish •
pamphlet entitled " The Rights and Duties of the
Senate ;" and he has dedicated it to M. Troplong !
This is • spirituel revenge upon the president, who
so continually shuts his month with " order " and
"question." Nobody can doubt that President
Troplong will read the Marquis de Boissy's
pamphlet through. The marquis will now (a rare
thing in his parliamentary existence) have his say
out, and if M. Troplung does not like what he says,
nothing but • counter pamphlet can refute him.
But the vantage ground of De Boisay consist; in
this that his pamphlet will certainly sell better
than anything Troplong could write.

67fr. 324 c. and 67fr. 52ic., closing with consider-
able firmness at the higher price. Mobilier rose

An important meeting of noblemen and gentle-
men was held at the South Kensington Museum yesterday.
Some little time ago the Earl of Derby threw out a sugges-
tion that an exhibithro of portraits of persons eminent in
oar historical annals would be both interesting and instrue-
tire. The idea has been warmly taken up. The Queen has
expressed her cordial assent to it, sad her readiness
to contribute from the royal galleries to the exhibition.
The leading nobility have also promised to lend their aid.
The project is so far advanced that the meeting yesterday
was held to take practical steps to carry it out. The Earl
of Derby paraded, and suggested that it should be • chro—
nological one ; that it should be spread over two or three
your, according to the number of portraits exhibited ; the
portraits from the earliest period down to the revolution
forming one exhibition, and those of a subsequent period •
second or third, as the cue may be. His proposals were
adopted by the meeting ; and it is probable that the first of
this series of exhibitions will take place next year.
We read in the Devizes Gazette:—" Lady Her-
bert and the Earl of Pembroke returned to Wilton House,
from the continent, on the 4th inst. Since her return, her
ladyship has been constaot in her attendance at early mass
at the Roman catholic chapel, Salisbury. The birthday of
the youthful Earl of Pembroke was celebrated on Thursday
everting. About 150 neighbours and friends sat down to
en excellent tea, provided by a committee of ladies. The
place was beautifully decorated with lancers and wreaths
of flowers, and inscriptions with the words 'Long life to
Lord Pembroke,' and ' Welcome home, lady Harbert.'
The Wilton borough band attended, and after tea the
party, which dories the evening, had largely thawed,
joined in the merry dance."

regarding the conduct of husband and wife towards each

the Snit thing in the morning. Next he would fetch
water and bathe her, and having washed her clothes,
must cook for the family. After that be should seat her in
a becoming meaner, and serve her food. He is then to give
her Vida, and thee are for his own stomach. The wife in
her turn must kick him twelve times early every morning,
make him work at the usual drudgery, and go to hie oaths.
Women are at perfect liberty to behave as they like.
