THE CZAR "MOBBED" IN PARIS.
(nom om owl oomtesantsr.)

PARIS, TUMMY Emma.
This morning the Prince and Princess Royal of
Prussia were at the Übiversal Exhibition at an
e arly hour. At noon the Princess, leaving the
Prince by himself, got into her carriage, and pro,
ceeded to the British embassy. In half an hoar
she returned, bringing with her Prince Louis of
Hesse, the Princess Alice, and Lady Cowley. They
were joined by the Prince of Prussia in the splendid
Prussian pavilion just fitted up, where the party
bad a gay dejedner d/a foureltette. At 2 o'clock,
the royal ladies being left with Lady Cowley, the
Prince of Prussia and the Prince of Hesse got into
a carriage and four, with postilions, to make an
excursion together in the neighbourhood of l'a
The Emperor of Russia was in the Exhibition as
early as 9 o'clock. He looked as he generally does
—extremely grave and thoughtful ; but talked in
a friendly and familiar way to several Russian et.
hibitors. He breakfasted in the Russian restau-
rant.

After breakfast ho went to see the Chiny
Museum and the Palais de Justice, and, according
to reports—of which all Paris is talking, and is
which there must be at least some truth—he a
sadly mobbed and insulted in both places. In
front of the Cluny Museum be was surrounded
by students who waved white handkerchiefs on
the point of their sticks and shouted " Vise ►a
Pologne " with all their might. Hurrying away
from this disagreeable scene the Czar went to the
Palais de Justice, but he had scarcely ascended
the steps when a group of young advocates in their
robes called out " Vivo la Pologne " in such a
manner as to attract his attention. General Lebold,
who was conducting the Czar round the law
courts, waved his hand in a deprecatory manner,
entreating the advocates to be quiet. One
of them stepped forward, and striking his
breast said, " I am Maitre —. I say Vive la
Pologne,' and I have a right to do so." The Czar
was naturally extremely annoyed at this recep-
tion. After passing a few minutes in the Saints
Chapelle he declined General Lebienf's offer to
take him to the Court of Cessation, and hastened to
regain his carriage. The rumour of this untoward
incident reached the Bourse, and I ant assured that
it affected the funds. It is feared that the Czar
may have a bad reception in going to the Opera to-
night.

I am assured positively that news of the unfor-
tunate Maximilian having been shot has lxutt
received at the Foreign-office, but that it will he
kept back as long as possible.
The Bourse opened with animation and Rente
rose to 70fr. 65c. There was afterwards a sudden
reaction, and after declining to 70fr. 20c. it closed
at 70fr. 30c. for cash, and 70fr. 40c. for account.

phobia has occurred in Hobart Town, the first cams oer
recorded as happening south of the equator.

As their Majesties and the princes left the stand
and were passing along the double line of spec-

' suddenly went up to the lady, who wax placed in a good
position to see and be seen, and addressing her in a
most gracious manner, said, ' It is you, Madame Naptal-
Arnault [formerly Afdlle. Plessyr lam delighted to see
you,' and then remarking the two young girls who accom-
panied the actress whose name we have just mentioned,
added ' Those am your sisters ? " No, sire,' replied
Mme. Arnault, blushing with pie:lied emotion,
' They are m daughters. Prince Wiulimir also ap-
proached the French artiat, wham talent and personal
qualities had placed her so high in the most distinguidied
society of St. Petenburg, and after having expressed his
pleasure at meeting her in France, asked permission to pay
her a visit. This little incident excited the paten
curiosity among the persons who witnessed it, and Mine.
Arnault was afterwards the object of general attention and
I pressed with questions."
MR. PEABODY'S PORTE tIT Op THE Qt•gett.—
' On the 26th of April, • communication was addressed to
Mr. George Peabody, by Mayor M'Alichael and ether
citizens of Philadelphia, requesting that the portrait of
Queen Victoria, recently presented to him, might be
placed on exhibition in that city, the proceeds to be de
voted to charitable objects, under such directions and
re-
strictions as Mr. Peabody might prescribe. Mr. Poibody
responded on the 30th ult., as follows :—" New York,
April 30, 1867.—Gentlemen,— I beg to acknowledge the
receipt of your note yesterday, requesting that I would
permit you to take charge of the portrait of her Majesty
Queen Victoria, which she has presented to me, and
to place it on exhibition in the city of Philadelpbia.
I sin glad to be able to accede to your request, mid
therefore will now place it in your hands, to exhthit
as you think best ; and as you propose that the
proceeds be applied to charitable objects,, I bet to
say that I believe no distribution of any benefit w nb
might be derived from it could be more pleasing to the
kind and benevolent heart of the Queen than that oar
'half should be appropriated toward relief of the stiffen%
and destitute of the South, and the remaining half de
voted to such charitable purposes in your own city as yo
may yourselves think proper. With this surgestaa.
gentlemen, I will place the portrait in your hands, ail
have it transported to you during the present week.
leis as yet been seen only by a few of the leading
this city, who have called for the purpose at the Louse
the friends with whom I am staying. I have no directive
togive in regard to its exhibition, as I sin sure you aril
take every precaution in the care of it, while it remains
your hands, to secure from the possibility of injury,

memento which, aside from its artistic merit and intrueic
value, I must ever prise so highly from the sasociations
with which it is connected. You will, therefore, after
exhibition, retain the portrait, subject to my future
,tractions.—Respectfully and truly, GEORGE NAMPA. --

NEW ROUTE BETWEEN LIVERPOOL ASP LON-
DoN.—The constant increase of traffic on the iondon and
North Western Railway between Lancashire awl the south
induced the directors some years hack to tale steps t?
provide • new outlet for the traffic from Livcqcol. Of
the various routes surveyed one via Ennoarn was finally
selected, though it involved the construction of a moat
expensive and gigantic bridge acres.. the treacherous
lows of the River Mersey at Runcorn-g.ip. When the suNect
was finally decided upon, energetic Mete were atonce Ulm
to push on the works. The foundation stone of the briike
