of France and England. I have since being in Paris bad a

tion, you will do the same.. . _ .

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—GentIemen, I
need hardly enure you that her Majesty's government are
deeply interested in the success of the Paris Exhibition,
and the facilities which our fellow-subjects should
enjoy in visiting it. The government itself is per-
sonally interested in the Exhibition, because at their
instigation and by their advice a large amount of money
has been appropriated for the purpose of exhibiting the
products of tun country ; and, therefore, we are extremely
desirous that everybody should have as free access as
possible, in order to avail themselves of every opportunity
of visiting that capital. Therefore, I can assure you that
nothing would be more agreeable to us than to grant any
request which has that object in view. With regard to the
particular purport of this memorial, I may say that the
arguments of my friend, Mr. Watkin, rather go against
search abstractedly than against search under the circum-
stances to which we are referring,vie., the Great Exhibition
in Paris ; because Mr. Watkin says that to search a man is
an insult, and he followed up his arpiments in that vein. I
tannin prepared to enter into any dununienonthat subject
now. It may or may not be an insult tonna travellers, but
unfortunately, so long as our present system of revenue
exists, to • certain extent it must prevail. Mr.Watkin says
these arguments have been already addressed to a gentleman
high in the public service, and also in the presence of Sir
Thomas Fremantle, who is the intelligent chief of our
customs department. I can only say that if they were ad-
dressed to that functionary in his presence they did not con-
vert him, because, although I have not communicated with
the functionary to whom Mr. Watkin particularly refers, I
have had frequent communications with Sir Thoman Fre-
mantle, a man distinguished for his good sense, and wry
superior to any contracted views of public administration,
and be is not at all satisfied that there will not be con-
siderable danger to the public revenue in case this indul-
gence, or suspension, or regulation should be conceded. I
think you will agree that the responsibility et my position
is so great, that you cannot expect me hurriedly, or with-
out due consideration, to agree to anything which may
lead to ill consequences to so important • branch of the
revenue. But Mr. Watkin has also made frequent allu-
sions to the tone of the French government. lam bound
to say that I have received no coniniunication from the
French government on this subject. I have been expect-
.Mg to receive it. I have even, without making any formal
appeal, given opportunity for such a usatufeatation of
feeling, but none has reached me. Therefore, until I hear
something from the French government of a more authori-
tative character than that which has already reached rue,
I cannot allow my mind to be influenced by expressions
which you must agree are not of sufficient gravity and
business-like character to decide a point of this kind. I
am quite open to be persuaded, if you can persuade me,
to do an act which I am sure would be very agreeable to
our countrymen generally ; but I cannot do so unless I
am satisfied that no injury would result to the public re-
venue. But I would ask, in the meantime, is there any
insuperable difficulty to the examination of the baggage
during the journey ?
Mr. WATKIR—It seems to me, I confess, perfectly im-
possible ; but, at the same time, there is no reason why
we should not consider the suggestion. We are willing to
do anything that is desirable so far as we are concerned ;
but, in truth, we have arrived at the simple question,
which is, is it the fact or not the fact, that there is now
no inducement to smuggle between Paris and London.
liehody can go to Paris sad buy anythiag cheaper than he
can obtain it in London. Therefore we respectfully ask
your sanction to the concession prayed for in the memorial
—a concession which bad its parallel when the Emperor
abolished the passport system between the two countries.
The CHANCELLOR of the Exelinsert—Gentlemen, I can
only say again that the argument of Mr. Watkin is an
argument against search generally. It is for the total
' abolition of search. I have heard all that Mr. Watkiu has
urged, and I think it would be inexpedient to enter into a
controversy on the subject. I remember exactly what Mr.
Watkin has urged, and it shall be represented to those
who are particularly responsible for this department, and
if they see no objection you may be assured that I shall he
happy to give ,ou the relief you ask.
The deputation, having thanked the Chancellor of the
Exchequer for his courtesy, then withdrew.

Miss Glyn's reading of Hamlet at the St.
James's-ball last night attracted ore of those attentive
and critical audiences which are rarely seen except at thew
entertainments or others of a kindred character. Though
not • scene could have been unfamiliar to those present,
yet many followed, book in band, the words uttered by
the reader, as though resolved that not a line of her inter-
pretation should escape them. At times, of course,
the open volume was put aside, as, for instance,
when any of the famous soliloquies were being
delivered, or when passages of unusual power enforced an
undivided attention, and compelled every eye tote directed
towards the platform. On Friday next, February I, Miss
Glyn is announced to repeat, by desire, her famous
reading of A rdony and Cleopatra.

.OUR MERCHANT SEAstEN.—The committee of
the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society, Captain the Hon.
Francis Maude, R.N., in the chair, met at the office
of the Institution Hibernia-cha lidera, L. ndon.bridge,
yesterday. After the preliminary business was settled,
the secretary, Mr. Lean, presented 111 cases for
relief arising out of the late storms, vie., 23
widows and $8 shipwrecked mariners, for assistance to
replace their clothes lost by shipwreck. Afterwards the
committee proceeded to investigate the claims of MI
widows of drowned mariners, who having orphan children,
though relieved at the time of the death of their hus-
bands, are allowed to apply annually for further relief
while their children are young, ray for live or six yearn,
when they are scratched off the list to make room for
others. The whole of these were relieved at the cost
of (Id., for which a cheque was signed to the
re se l4ctty
li.
secretary for disbursements. The secretary reported
that large numbers of shipwrecked men had been pawed
through the Mike to their home., and that the reports
from the branches on the coma rave large numbers
likewise passed on by the hon. agent& a number of wh
were clothed and supplied with every necessary. The
committee resolved that the advertisement for aid should be
continued.

PROVINCIAL PRONTNCIATION. —The Dean of
Canterbury,in Gear[ IVor.la, quotes the following as part of
• communication from /Carnotite Manse, by Fort Wuhan':
—" Many years ago, in the Isle of Skye, I was reasoning
with a man who thought himself very religious, who, in
1 common with the class to which be belong, 4, fancied that
be possessed the power of • discerning spirita,' especially
those of preachers, and reckoned it it sacred duty to :Timm
to listen to any one of whose conversion lie felt not fully
assured (the test, I am sorry to say, luring tle woof certain
formal plhrases, and specially the tone of voice). I said
what I could about the truth being God's truth—to be re-
ceived as such in a meek, humble, and self-searching sprit;
and referred to the well-known passage, • Take heal 10 10
ye hear,' Sm. • No, no,' says my friend ; 'it is take heal
who (hoe) ye beer, and proves lem right.' He had been
taught to pronounce how, hoe. He saw no necessity for
whoa:—the objective—before the verb. Ire was convinced
thoroughly that he bad floored me with ley own weapons,
and was more and n'ore confirmed in his spiritual pride."
