THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 26, 1867.

end the libertine. In this quarter, it seems, there is
established a colony of 50 or GO Chituuneu, who
herd together for the purpose of indulging in the
most horrid vices to which human oaten can addict
itself. The evening is the time for their Weal
orgies. The morning is the time for obtainPag the
means of indulgence. 'their plan is admirably
simple. From this dark corner of the City
they sally forth together in the forenoon, and spread
themselves over the West-end. Their object is that
of all mendicants—to obtain money without labour.
For that purpose they take the name of poverty in
vein—and prey upon the feelings of the weak-
minded 'and the wealthy. Skilled in every dramatis
art, they aasume every poseplastifue of misery which
their experience and ingenuity can suggest, and
manage, we are told, to levy a mail on passers-by
which amounts to an average of 2s. or 3s. a-day for
each of them. Sapplied by these ample funds, the
sallow crowd make their way back in the evening
from every quarter to their reeking cabins by the
banks of the Thames—where they spend their
evenings in the most loathsome debauchery. It
would be of course impossible to dwell is detail ea
these revolting scenes. The address of Tt
YARDLEY, the police magistrate, which appemei
two days ago in these columns, may have
sufßeed on this point to enlighten the curious.
That address war made by the worthy am-
gistrate, in the case of one Aroo—one ef
these Chinese colonists—who seems to have com-
mitted a brutal assault ern a fellow-countryman
by half-murdering him with a hammer. The pole- I
lie have good reason to thank Mr. YARDLIT DWI
speaking out as he did upon the subject. For we
quite agree with him that, looking to the filth and
abomination in which these Chinese creatures line,
or rather herd together, we may well apprehend
the spread not only of a moral, but of a physical
pestilence from this sink of depravity. We trust
that the authorities will look to this. •
We have selected the Chinese colony simply with,
most recent and picturesque discovery in the realms of
beggardom, not because Chinese beggars are wean,
than their neighbours. The professors of the Indian
dodge" arc every way equal to them ; and we have
a multitude of indigenous rascals who, at a pelas
beggar show at the Crystal Palace, would
no doubt carry off all the first mid&
One thing is clear—these offseourings of the
earth only subsist by the pernicious and thoughtless
charity of the West-end. If money were not
collected there during the day the vices of
the night would become impossible. The
weak sentimentalists of tho West-end ought
surely to consider the purposes to which their alms
are applied. There might, perhaps, be some excuse
for them so long as they were ignorant of the facts
which are now ascertained. We have elutes-
wowed to deprive them of that excuse. If they
still persist in supplying these plausible scoundrels
with money, they do so with the knowledge that,
instead of relieving want and succouring the dis-
tressed, they are only encouraging the coarsest
kinds of excess and the vilest forms of vice.

PORTRAITS AND RELIQUES OF MARY
QUEEN OF SCOTS.

A very attractive exhibition is at this moment
open in the apartments of the Archeological Institut., in
Suffolk-street --• collation of portraits end reliques of Mary
Quest of Soots. The port rsits innumerous, consisting of oil-
paintings, largo and small, drawings and engravings. The
meet remarkable feature of the collection is the strong re-
semblance in amity which pervades them all, with the ex-
ception of a very few. The impression produced by this
similarity is that they see all either Dowd fide portraits or
topic.; end that the diversities are owing to the greater or
less skill of the inlet. It is curious to note, in some of the
inferior paintings, and still more in some of the inferior en-
gravings, a ghastly, spectral likeness, which gilds, like a
setting sunbeam, the most obscure and dreamy productions.
That the ealgies of Mary should have been so multi-
plied is natant; she was the embodied sentiment round
which for • brief time Catholicism rallied. live portraits
wen used in the some way as relics or paintings of the saint..
Curiously enough, some of the grimmest counterfeits of her,
and some of the grimmest counterfeits of her loving cousin
Elizabeth, approach so nearly that the one might well be
mistaken for the other. There is more in this than the
Were of wretched daubers and migrantes. Aa there
was • pretty near relationship between the two,
there may have been • family likeness in the out-
lioes of their features. It has been the bard fate
of Elizabeth to have the popular notion of her
appestat:me formed from those portraits which were taken
when she had become antiquated and meagre ; while the
popular non= of Mary always presents her as in the lush of
youth and beauty. Yet it is certain that Una peeks were
not altogether dissimilar, that the hair of both bisagad to
that class which the profane all rat, set that Priabath,
while in the plumpness of youth, was a bora ad lively
woman. What the character of Mary's beefy was b act so

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TIIURSDAT EVENINO.
The Emperor left Paris this morning at ten
o'clock by the Strasburg railway for Plombi&es.
His Majesty will proceed in the first instance to
Chalons.sar•Marnc, where he will remain two days
to examine the preparations now being made for
the projected camp near that town. During the
two days in question, the new section of the Sties-
burg line will be completed, and his Majesty will
be enabled to travel direct from Nancy to Epinal

by rail, and so have only a few leagues to pass over
by post to arrive at Plombieres.
A telegraphic despatch announces the Emperor's

The official proclamation of the result of the
elections for Paris took place to-day at the Hotel de
Ville. The figures do not essentially differ from
those which I sent you by telegraph on the evening
of the ;second day's polL The only difference worth
noting is that M. Ferdinand de Lesteyrie
polled 1,144 more votes than were attributed to him
by the non-official returns. The interest in the
elections has now very much subsided, and will
only revive as we approach Sunday week, when the
fresh ballot takes place for three circumscriptions in
Paris. Ido not hear any confirmation of a report
circulated by the Independance that General
Cavaignac was about to retire in favour of
M. Bethmont. There may possibly have been
pourparkra on the subject; but, at all
events, no such decision has yet been taken.
Public life certainly cannot be very attractive to
General Cavaignac at the present moment, and it
would not be surprising if he should urge the re-
markable ill-success of his candidature in the de.
partments where it has been tried as a reason for
not courting the populace of Paris a second time.
The reason why he only obtained about 10,000 cots,
in the third circumscription, the other day, against
upwards of 14,000 given to him in 1852, is under
stood to be that many of the electors of that die.
trict do not care to send a man to the house who will
not take the oath. They may very decidedly, that
what they want is to see a certain nucleus of
opposition taking an active part in public
affairs, and acquiring by their votes and speeches
a reputation which might, in a given crisis, induce
the country to rally round them. This being the
predominant feeling in Paris, it may be that if
Bethmont would take the oath it would be goal
policy on the part of the opposition to patronise
him. As far as the good of a demonstration in
favour of Cavaignac goes, that has been achieved
already. The only returns wanting to complete the
list of deputies for all France are four from Corsica
and one from La Vendee. There are no more oppo.
eition successes to record, unless it be those
of Count de Itambourgt, elected in the Al.
lice, and Count Migcon in the Haut Rhin,
who were government men in the last house,
but were not recommended by the government
this time. They are claimed by both parties ; bat
it must be remembered that before the elections all
the prefects proclaimed that every non-official can.

ever, the government journals find it coavenient to
forget this doctrine, and they claim not only MM.
ltambourgt and Migeon, but also MM. Brame and

at Amiens, as I announced by telegraph by mistak4
Ile had a large majority in the town, but not in the
circumscription. We have as yet only general
results from the departments, and not figures.
When the figures arrive it will be interesting to
east them up and see what proportion the abater.
tions and opposition votes bear to those of 1851.
In the meanwhile it is known that the opposition
was very successful in many large towns. For in-
stance, opposition, or at least extra official, candis
dates were at the head of the local polls at Lille,
Amiens, Troyes, Limoges, Sarlat, Tarbes, Argeles,
Avignon, Angouleme, Creil, Seelig, Cognac, Mont-
pelier, St. Etienne, Nancy, Itoanne, and Besancon; be.

circumscription of Lyons, the government candidates
were run very hard. In Marseilles the government-

into his box as many government bulletins, which
had been served out to them, and the old fellows bad
no means of getting any others, even if they had

only since the coup dYtat that these pensioners have
voted in Paris.

The Bourse opened heavily, under the impression
that the Bank council had adjourned the reduction
of the discount till the second Thursday in July,
which impression prevailed for a long time; and it
is remarkably curious that when, at a little after two
o'clock, an announcement was posted that the disc
count had been lowered from 6 to 3) per cent., dm
Rente declined still further. It was felt as a disap•
pointmcnt that the interest on advances was main-
tained at the old rate-6 per cent. It is believed
that the proportion which the Bank is prepared to
advance at this rate of interest is GO per cent. on
Rentes and 40 per cent. on railwaysmccording to th•
current prices on the Bourse. The Reute fell 40c. fen
