THE PARIS EXHIBITION.

(lEOlt Out BPLCIAL

5m.)

The Emperor is now the owner of Vela's statue
of the Dying Napoleon. This statue is one of
the prominent features of the Exhibition.
In it is much borrowing from Paul Delaroche,
it is true. The portrait closely resembles that
study of the first Bonaparte's face which De-
laroche has disseminated throughout the civilised
world. It is one of heroic mould. It is a cast
from the antique in modern costume. Re-dress
the figure, and it would stand, and nobly, for a
Raman emperor. In this statue there is the me-
lancholy of Delaroche's famous picture. It is all
over with glory. Greatness and power have passed
away. In the eye there is not the faintest ray of
hope. In the attitude there is not a hint of resist-
ance or of strength. The "drooped fingers" hang
from the " nerveless wrist." The end is plainly
written upon the canvas of Delaroche : that is, the
end of kingship—of sovereignty. The wreck is
complete, and the port matters little. There is
much tenderness in the atmosphere the painter has
thrown about the disarmed and utterly beaten cap-
tain. The spectator is warmed with thegenerous pity
that glows in the heart at the spectacle of the de-
feated brute. There is common human sorrow,
too, in the overwhelmed man. He is deserted by
friends : he is abandoned by the imperial lady who
was wed to the great Captain, but will be no mate
to the banished Bonaparte. Upon this noble brow
has fallen the heaviest sorrow man has suffered in
oar time. This is the bowed head that is to be
beeps wore the waste of waters ; and to perish on
a tea. The fardel weighs mightily—but be-
tween this and the closing scene how many
weary Jdays trait to be added to it t In the
pietwe is the opening of the terrible after-
WA, Between the picture and the statue all
die gloomy story of St. Helms. Crowds •
'gently, even tearfully sometimes, about the beaten
hero touching upon his long rest at last. Albeit
the sculptor has been mindful of Delaroche's pic-
ture of the Captain before he had tasted of St.
Helena, he has made no servile copy. All the sad
years that were put by fate between Waterloo and
death are here marked. This dying Bonaparte is a
shattered man. The head is wasted. Its propor-
tions are fair and handsome still—but the flesh has
dissolved, the lines have deepened, and the lean
finger of him who "beats all conquerors" is upon
the dying warrior. It has come to this, after the
triumphal entries, the " batterie des hommes sans
peur,' the bridge of Arcola, and the glory of
Austerlitz ! This old man, in the flowing capoli,
dying in his chair in sight of a gaoler, is the
shadow that is left of the great Captain who made
and deposed kings !
I cannot give you an idea of the manner in which
group after group approaches Vela's great work.
Small wonder if many an Enghshman looks nervously
and uneasily at it ; and if, now and then, some
ardent-eyed Frenchman scowls at the British visi-
tor who is gazing calmly at the dying Bonaparte,
with s glaas cocked in the corner of his eye. By-
gones are by-goner. The Emperor has just been
saying to a deputation of English working-men that
the main aim of his policy is now and ever has been,
to strengthen the friendship that is growing between
the English and French nations ; but thoughts of
the bitter past will rise, in spite of our best endea-
vours to beat them beck, before this most impres-
sive marble. And they rise accordingly : and I see
many Frenchmen who cannot very patiently bear
to mark perfidious Albion contemplating the dying
Bonaparte. The fierce Bonapartist of the old
school might be apt to say, if he were much in the
habit of visiting international exhibitions, that these
sunken cheeks and wasted limbs were the hateful
work of England.
But Bonapartist' of to-day are the Exhibition
visitors of to-day ; and they bear us no ill-will for
the sins of our fathers. The arrangements for the 1
convenience of English working-men visiting the '
Exhibition which Mr. Layard has set forth I see,
in a letter to a morning contemporary, are, to my
mind, most unsatisfactory. I was the first, in the
columns of your journal, to draw the attention of
the English authorities to the manner in which the '
French government promoted the journey of French
delegates of the working-class to the Exhibition of
1862. I have studied all the reports which were '
drawn up by the French delegates ; and I have no
hesitation in saying that they must have proved
most valuable information to the various trades of
France. The information is valuable chiefly be-
cause it is the accumulated experience of earnest,
independent men, who comprehended the dignity
of the mission which their fellow-workmen had con-
fided to them. Mr. Layard talks about prizes. I
am quite sure that the offer of prizes will not pro-
mote the end I suppose all helpers in this work of
excursions for the wage-classes have in view. The
delegates will do their duty, without the incentive
of patronage from high and mighty gentlemen. The
French workmen were proud of the representative
dignity with which their brethren were pleased to
invest them : and will not British delegates of the
working-class come hither to study their trade for
the benefit of their mates, without the bait of a
prize from a third party ?

VISIT or ENGLISH WORKING MIN TO PARIS.
On Tuesday last the deputation which recently waited on
the Emperor Napoleon in eonnexionwith the visit ofEngliah
working men to Paris, received, through the Due de
Boman°, a communication stating that his Majesty had
immediately taken steps to obtain the required canoes-
sions, including that over which he stated at the inter-
view he had no control—viz., the reduction of fares on the
railways. This boon, with other minor ones, the Duc de
Bassani said would be granted at once, and the Emperor,
on his part, expressed a wish that the Tourist Company
would immediately commence their operations of bringing
bodies of men over to France.

PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

It was understood that government made a
great point of getting none but staunch men upon
the committee to consider the bill for the alienation
of certain parts of the Luxemburg gardens. It
has not succeeded. In the first place M. Pelletan,
the most prominent opponent of the desecration of
the Luxemburg, is elected a member of the com-
mittee ; next comes M. Cure, the semi-liberal
deputy for Bordeaux, who on this question will
vote as he would have done in the time when he
was returned for his native city as an independent
and not as a government candidate. Viscount
Clary and M. Aucel will take the popular side and
vote for preserving the Luxemburg gardens in
their integrity. I do not know the opinions of
the other members of the committee, but although
I they habitually vote with government, it is by
no means certain that they will do so in this
instance. The real feeling of the vast majority of
the chamber is against the job, and now that there
are precedents fur hostile votes, and the conserva-
tives, threatened with a dissolution and the with-
drawal of government patronage at the new elec-
tions, no longer repose on an easy cushion, there is
no knowing to what lengths of opposition this
committee may go.
To-day article 3 of the law on public companies
was referred back to the committee for reconside-
ration, on the motion of government. The bill
will now take a long time to remodel, and it pro-
mises to impede the other measures which have
been already so long awaiting a decision.
There is extraordinary bustle in and about the
Palace of the Elysie owing to preparations for the
reception of the Emperor of Russia. The passers
by in the Faubourg St. HononS may see through open
windows that even the outside rooms are newly
furnished, and wax candles placed on all the
mantlepieces for the accommodation of the Czar's
numerous suite. The Emperor has assigned sixty
hones and a proportionate number of carriages for
his Russian Majesty's use ; but he has sent from
St. Petersburg, for his personal riding, three
favourite hacks, who arrived in Paris yesterday.
The Emperor yesterday passed several hours in the
Elystge, minutely inspecting the arrangements for
the reception of his magnificent guest.
Yesterday morning M. Louis de Cassagnac, a
younger and hitherto unknown brother of the
bellicose Paul de Cassagnac, and a son of Deputy
Granier de Cassagnac, fought a duel at Celle Saint
Cloud with M. V—, a son of a leading Bor-
deaux merchant. The sword was the arm. Both
combatants showed great "cunning o' fence." After
a fight which lasted several minutes, M. V-- -
received a sword thrust in his fore arm which,
though deep enough to put an end to the rencontre,
is said not to be serious. The adversaries were
reconciled before leaving the ground.
Bishop Manning (calling himself Archbishop of
Westminster) has arrived in Paris on his way to

MILTON'S-YARD RAGORD SCHOOL, ISLIINGTON.—
The annual meeting of this school was held on Wed-
nesday evening last in the Memorial Hall, lalMg-
ton, the Earl of Shaftesbury presiding. The ball
was quite fulL At the entrance to the hall
the boys of the drum and fife band connected with the
school were stationed, and as his lordship came out of his
carriage they played very nicely " Auld Lang Syne,"
which seemed greatly to not only surprise but to please
his lordship. The bon, secretary road the report, which
was most gratifying in its results, showing that upwards
of 50 boys have been got into venom, situations, Ac.,
during the year, and that the astonishingly large increase
that ban taken place within the last few years shows the
great necessityffor a new school-room,numben having been
refused admission for want of room. Nearly 60boys and girls
were presented with a prize for having kept their places
for twelvemonths. The noble Chairman, the Vicar of
Islington, Rev. Mr. Rooker, Mr. Harvey, Mr. A. O. Charles,
ha., addressed the meeting, after which the Doxology was
sung. At the outside of His hall the band was again sta-
tioned, audas his lordship appeared they played" Cod save
the Queen." and then gore three snob chests for Lord
Shaftesbury as caused the sound to be heard some con-
siderable distance off. The meeting altogether was a very
great success, and must have been very gratifying to his
lordship to see that the work in which his heart and soul
are so much engaged is so wonderfully working such good
in Islington.
ACCIDENT To A MAIL TRAIN.—An accident hap-
pened on the North Eastern Railway about eight o,clock
on Thursday evening, a few miles north of Darlington, to
the snail due at Derby at midnight. The train was thrown
off the road owing to the tire of the wheel of • previous
trsin having broken and been left on the rails. No one
was hurt. The post office clerks were a little shaken, but
went on their journey after a delay of the mail of three
hours.
