THE GRAND REVIEW IN PARIS.

Galignatais Messenger of Saturday gives the fol-
owing account of the grand rev►ew in Paris on
the previous day :
- - - • -

This grand military fete was yesterday favoured with
magnificent weather. A sky, occasionally clouded, and
a refreshing breeze tempered the heat of the sun. The
Emperor, Empress, and Prince Imperial arrived in Paris
from Fontainebleau about half-past eleven, and all three
were present at the solemnity. The troops had taken up
their positions at two o'clock, and an extraordinary con-
course of spectators might be seen shortly after flocking
to the Cbrunps-Elysees from every •t of Paris. They
were in almosteverycase well persons, belonging to
the bourgeois-class. Nothing could exceed the good-
humour and propriety of conduct which prevailed every-
where. The troops consisted of over fifty battalions of
foot and three squadron of cavalry of the National
Guard ; thirteen battalions, eight squadrons, and ten
batteries of the Imperial Guard, and twenty-eight batta-
lions, twelve squadrons, and twelve batteries of the line.
The National Guard was ranged in close ranks from the
basin in the Tuileries gardens opposite the palace, along
the south side of the avenue, and up-the Champs-
Elysits, reaching as far as the Rue de Chaillot; the line
of the infantry the Guard then commenced and reached
to the trium • arch and down the oppoaite side of the
road to the d-Point, where it was joined by the regi-
ment' of the Line, fa • g the National Guard. The
cavalry occupied the roads ching off from the Arc-
de-l'Etoile, that of the National Guard the Avenue Jose-
phine ; the Imperial Guard, the Avenue d'lsna; and the
Jane the Avenue d'Eyian. The artillery was ranged in
the Avenues de la Reine-Hoetense and de Friedland. AU
were es gran& Mew, and nothing could be finer than
their Thu whole were ander the command
of Ma l Canrobert, as senior officer, with General de
Coureoa, Head of the Staff ; the Guard—Marshal Beg-
meld de Saint Jean-d'Angely. Commander; General
d'Auvergne, Head of the Staff ; Generals of Dl=
d'Antemarre and Boarbaki; Cavalry of the Guard,
Countde Mont ebellootide-cle-CamptotheEmperor, Cavalry
of the Line, General Viscount de Noun ; Arhllery of the
Guard, General Canut ; Artillery of the Line, General de
Benseman ; Ist division of the Infantry of the line,
General Douai, Aide-de-Camp to the Emperor • 2nd,
General Decamp ; and 3rd, General Picard. The izowd
looking on filled all the north side of the Champs-Jayvees,
the wide passage opposite the Palace of Industry to the
Faubourg St, Honore being kept free. Towards the hour
when the display was to begin, great difficulty was expe-
rienced in some places in forcing a passage' chairs and
benches were, as usual on such °crazies's, placed for hire,
the price varying from 6fr. to 2fr. Precisely at three
o'clock, the drums and trumpets all along the line
beat a salute in succession, and the first part of the
Imperipl cortege belied from the Tuileries. First came
a body of the Cent-Garden, serving as a guard of honour
to au open carriage and four, with postilions and
outriders, bearing the Emprees and some other
ladies ; then another party of Cent-Gardes ; and a
second carriage, similar to the first ; and, lastly, a third
peloton of the same corps closed up the whole. After a
short pause the military music again resounded, and the
Emperor was seen advancing on horseback, accompealed
by a brilliant staff. Besides Marshal Canrobert, there
were to be seen Marshals, Niel, Valliant, Hendon, and
Reginald de Saint-Jean d'Angely. AU the superior
officers at present in Paris, even those not on duty, were
around the Emperor. The Prince Imperial, in plain dr
rode a little behind his Majesty, and close to General
Lord Napier of Magdala' who struck the eye
most prominently among the brilliant throng from his
scarlet uniform and white plume. His lordship was at-
tended by Colonel Dillon, his aide-de-camp. The Em-
peror, who seemed in excellent health, rode along the
whole line, the troops presenting arms, the drums beatng,
and the trumpet sounding as his Majesty reached each
division. In about three-quarters of au hour, the Em-
peor and his glittering attendance, returned down the
wide avenue and took up a position in front of the grand
entrance of the Palace of Industry, the Empress's carriage
and that of her attendants being stationed near. At the
same time, the officers of the Etat-Major rode to the
opposite side, so that the troops in marching past
passed between the two bodies of richly-embroidered
and decorated officers. The filing-off then com-
menced. the National Guard first going by,
and the band of each regiment placing itself near the
etat-major, and playing until the body had passed. The
defile of the National Guard alone occupied an hour, after
which the others weed in turn, the guard coming next,
and the line last. All the troops cheered loudly as they
passed the Em but the regular army more warmly,
peror,
as it struck us, than the National Guard. The appearance
of the troops was magnificent, particularly of the cavalry
and artillery. It was after six o'clock before the display
terminated, the wholo haring passed over ia a most
succeesful manner. The nemeses crowd remained to the
close, and once more proved by its sustained attention
that no spectacle is more congenial to a Paris population
than a grand military display.
The following order of the day has been pub-
lished to the army of Paris :
-

Headquarters at Paris, August 14.
The Emperor has deigned to express to the marshal
commanding in chief the troops present at the review his
marked gratification st their tine attitude and soldierlike
appearance under arms. The marshal hastens to com-
municate this precious mark of satisfaction to the diffe-
rent corps. CAIISOBERT, Marshal of France.
The Emperor has addressed a letter to General
Mellinet complimenting the National Guard upon

The Channel squadron left Portland on Friday
morning for Ireland, and passed down channel off this
port on Friday night under sail with steam up, but not
steaming. The Pallas put in here for supernumeraries, and
to make good defects. A strong gale blew from the south-
ward, a heavy sea was running, and the night was dark,
with rain squalls. At 11 p.m., when the rest of the
squadron was 10 miles south-west of the Eddystone, a
serious collision occurred between the Warrior and the
Royal Oak. The *quadrat was standing to westward in
the following order :—Starboard division : Minotaur,
•Bellerophon, Achilkti art Defence; port division : Pene-
lope, Royal Oak, and Warrior, with the distance of fair
cables between the vessels in each division. The gale
increasing • signal' wee inside from the admiral's ship for
the squadron to alike is a second reef of their topsails.
While the ship were so employed the Warrior forged
ahead, came up under the let of the Royal Oak, and ran
into her starboard-quarter. The approach of the
Warrior was seen from the Royal Oak, and the Warrior
was bailed byCaptain Hillyard, but the hailing was appa-
rently not heard. The Warrior's bowsprit and cut-water
Carried away all the Royal Oak's starboard boats and
davits, as well an four chain plates in the main chains,
and tore adrift her lee main rigging, damaged some chain
plates in the risen chains, and loosened the lee risen rig-
ging, tore away the bridge and engine-room telegraph,
stove in the starboard berthing and channels, carried away
one Rake of the stern anchor, and drove the
other fluke through the Royal Oak's side. The
engine-room telegraph, when being Porn away, was, by
the collision, turned to "Go-ahead," and this order being
immediately obeyed from the engine-room, added to the
confusion, some minutes elapsing before the machinery
could be stopped. The vessels were twenty minutes in
collision, and were only freed at length by the Warrior
steaming astern. The Royal Oak went on during the
night with the squadron, and through the thickness of the
weather could not communicate her damages to the ad-

miral until the following morning. At 10 a.m. on
&turday she received orders to return here to repair
damages, arriving on Saturday night. She left the
squadron 16 miles W.S.W. of the Lizard. The Warrior
left her figure-head on board the Royal Oak, and is be-
lieved to have had her jil-hone earried away and her
bowsprit damaged. She haa gone on with the squadron,
and will probably be repaired at Milford. No lives were
lost, uor was any one injured by the accident.

Ma. MARK LEROff.-It is understood that Mr.
Mark Lemon has at last yielded to the solicitations of his
friends and the temptation@ held out to him for same
time past, and that his appearance on the platform will
be among the novelties of the amming dramatic smarm.
He is to sustain the character of Falstaff, in scenes from
Shakespeare's Hoer IV., so *elected as to form • con-
sistent series of tableewx. The performances are not
to take place in any theatre, but will belong to
the class of amusement magnified as entertainments,
although the action and costume of a stage play will
be, in part, retained. Mr. Mark Lemon's powers as
an actor are well known ; his theatrical experience is
perhaps, than any modern writer for the theatre,
larger,lslong association with the wit and humour of this
age renders his just delineation of Shakespeare's lusty
knight a matter of certainty. The persons! appearance of
the popular editor of Awe*, his burly form and massive
head so remarkably resemble those which we are all accus-
tomed to imagine Falstaff's to have been, that there an
be very little doubt of the impersonation being life-like
end truthful. The text of Shakespeare will certainly be
an improvement upon that of entertainments generally,
and the humorous conceptions of our great poet unques-
tionably afford scope for a very amusing and intellectual
performance.-Observer.

WEST 'MIDI:OMM= RIFLEB.-The members of
the West Middlesex Rifles competed on Saturday at
Wormwood Scrubs for the Gold Challenge Badge and the
Monthly Challenge Cup. The conditions were seven shots
each at 200, 600, and 600 yards' ranges, Wimbledon targets
and scoring. Lieutenant Cook won the gold badge with
62 points. Major Bridgman and Private M'Cormack tied
with 60 each for the Challenge Cup. Upon the tie being
shot off Major Bridgman became the winner of the cup.
The question of the protest made by the West Middlesex
against the 2nd Battalion of the Queen's (Westminster')
making the winning score for the magnificent shield
known as the " Scrubs" Plate, on the plea that Private
Moss of the latter corps arrived on the ground after the
commencement of the competition, was on Saturday
brought before the committee and rejected, there being
no evidence to prove that Moss was not on the ground
when the first shot was fired. The 2nd Battalion of the
Queen's were therefore declared this year's winners of the
plate, the three highest some being Sergeant H. I.
Young, 58 ; Private J. Webb*, 67; and Captain B. D.
Tyler, 168.
Tim LONDON lILINII.-This regiment had ita
prise-bring at the Milton range, near Gravesend. on Satur-
day. The South-Fhatern Company charged full fares to
the volunteers travelling from Charing-croft, and refused
to make the deduction always allowed to men in uniform
going to and from duty, and they would only book second
class from Cannon-street and London-bridge, thin taxing
the various competitors an extra sum still. The prizes
were divided into three classes-one for each of the ohm
of men who had passed the different periods. The first
wee that competed for by the marksmen and first-class
men. This was shot for at 260, 660, and 650
with five shots at each. Every competitor, whoyrit
be an efficient for the present year, and have
attended the inspection, was compelled to shoot in
uniform. The*Looting was with the short Enfield,
with which weapon the battalion is armed, and
under the Hythe regulations. The first prize was won by
Captain O'Connor with a score of 38 points. The prise is
a Battalion Challenge Cup, with a photograph, and the
sum of 101.-the first two given by the shooting com-
mittee, and the specie by the Marchioness of
The second prize, a silver cup given by Mr. en
Grant, was won by Corporal Ihgge, with 28; the
third prize, a pair of gold earrmgs, given liy Colonel
M'Kenzie, was won by private Rudd with a like score.
The other scores in the series were won with equal BOOMS.
The first of a series of prizes in the second @tries among
men who had earned the extra grant by firing the three
classes and reaching the second, was won Private
Connor with 34 in five shots at 200, 600, and ards.
The prize was 6/, given by the Marquis of Dooegs, who
gave several other prizes. The third class prizes were
for men who had striven to earn the extra grant, but
had broken down. The shooting was diversified with a
cricket match, which was played by thoee competitors who
had been "bowled out" in shootin .
A young man named H • n, who was
porter at the General Apothecaries' Company in Der-
a/din
ners-street, died last Tuesday in the Middlesex Reignite",
from the effects of poison. At his place of work he book
aconite six times stronger than that of the Pliarmsooreis.
A jury =Saturday found that he had committed subside
wbilst in an unsound state of mind. The unfortunate
young fellow was to have been married yesterday.

BEnweff InlL—The lion. Auberon Herbert, the
advanced liberal eandidete, who stands in conjunction
with Mr. John Walter, addressed several meetings of the
electors last week, and resolutions in favour of the can-
didature of both those gentlemen were carried amidst
loud cheering. Speaking on the subject of education, Mr.
Herbert remark Let us have a system of schools rising
one above another, so that all our clever lads may pass
from the village school to the school of the district, and
again from the school of the district to that of the still
higher school or collage. In this way we shall collect all
the natural talent othe country, and utilise it for the com-
mon benefit. What we want to do is to start every clever
lad in this country with a good education, and if nature
has made him worthy of tilling a high place, to give
him the chance of doing so. The old bold is
now giving way—that because a man labours with
his hands he is not to cultivate his intelligence, end to
enjoy the pleasures which belong to knowledge. The
fact that he is drat off from many other pleasures by his
position and smallness of means is a reason not why he
should be left withent the pleasanter of knowledge, but
rather why he should re the fullest opporty of
enjoying t A man will not be the worse workman or
labourer because you remember that God has given him,
en intelhgenni, and yea try to make him use it.

her Majeety's Theatre, recently became the lame of the
Alexandra Theatre, Liverpool, which, since the bank-
ruptcy of Mr. H. J. Byron, has been closed, to the great

of dispute being the" pit," which, at the Alexandra, has
been given up entirely to stalls, ♦the pittitee baying been
relegated to the first circle over the dress boxes. This

THE YOUNG CAVAIGNAC INCIDINT.

Mina is, it would seem, no easier way of flat-
tering the superior intelligence and the self-com-
placency of a large class of readers on this side of
the Channel than to take some trivial incident of
public life on the other side of the Channel, and
contemplate it from the purely insular and paro-
chial point of view of the average Great Briton.
If there be one thing more than another of which
the conventional Englishman is proudly conscious,
it is of being not like other men who have not
had tho advantage of being born in this island.
He never can get over the astonishment at finding
that his rule of the road is not only not universally
accepted, but peculiar to his own country.
It never occurs to him to pause and ask himself
the question whether the mere fact of certain
ways and usages being familiar to his experience
at home renders them the perfection of wisdom
and good sense. Enough for him that such and
such things are " nn-English," or " so French,"
to justify him in regarding them with indulgent
wonder and pity from the serene height of
the national self-esteem. The first article of the true
Englishman, at least as he is represented by his
loudest organs, is thirst whatever is not English is
necessarily eccentric and absurd. Our neighbours
and friends on the Continent, it is true,
return the compliment with interest. To be
an Englishman is at all times and in all places
beyond the narrow seas to be accepted as a
chartered lunatic with lucid momenta. Every
Englishman is " an eccentric," and " an original,"
and we are bound to confess that the majority
of English tourists do their best to confirm the
prevailing impression. To those among us, how-
ever, who have travelled far and wide and long
enough to discover that there are good and bad,
wise and foolish, people and things in all countries,
and that In the genius and manners of all
nations there is something that is not the
worse for not being English, this habit
of pronouncing in the spirit of a vestryman upon
the_ manners and Customs of people who have

not the good fortune to be natives of our parish
is a little irritating. To-day, for example, a con-
temporary treats tho public toe truly British
snort of practical common sense, dropsa of a
recent incident at the distribution of prizes to
the French students in the hall of the Sor-
bonne. No doubt it was a very un-English
affair altogether; just as Election Monday,
or the Fourth of June at Eton might be
described by a Paris paper as " very un-French."
We don't assemble the masters and boys of all our
public schools once a year in the Sholdonian
Theatre and deliver by the hands of the Lord Pre-
sident of the Council crowns of laurel to the boys
who have written the beet Greek or Latin prose
or verso during the year. We have no Sorbonne
in London, and no Lycies ; no Minister of Public
Instruction; and no laurel crowns. Let us
take all possible credit to ourselves for not
being theatrical or sentimental, and for the
comparative simplicity and practical character
of our school "speech days." On the other
hand, it is conceivable that a French
Minister of Public Instruction may con-
gratulate himself and his professors on bestowing
laurel crowns for a Greek or Latin theme, instead
of for proficiency in cricket or football, and on the
enthusiasm of the pupils for their fellow-students
who have distinguished themselves in something
else than games, Perhaps the letter philosophy
for both of us would be to; borrow something of
each other's ".eccentrioities," in this and other
matters. But in the recent incident at the
Sorbonne, upon which the Times comments in so
characteristic a strain of condescending
pity, there were special circumstances which
should not have been omitted from a fair account
of the proceedings. The only son of General
CAVAIONAC, a boy of fifteen, having won a prize
for Greek composition, was called by the
Minister of Public Instruction to receive his
laurel crown from the hands of the PRINCE
Inessua.. The widowed mother who sat by her
son would not allow him to do so. The boys who
had heartily cheered the name of Cavetozrao re-
doubled their cheers when the only son of the Re-
publican President sat still by his mother's side and
declined to take an honour from the hands of
the son of the man who had thrown Gene-
ral CAVAIONAC, into prison, for the crime of not
breaking the constitution of his country, on the
2nd of December, 1851 ; having received three
years before from the hands of the GENERAL the
solemn charge of the destinies of the Republic.
It is easy to sneer at this act of the young
CAVAIONAC at the instance of his widowed
mother—who is, perhaps, more a Roman matron of
the Republic than a Frenchwoman of the
Second Empire—as a mere schoolboy im-
pertinence, and to laugh at the Imperial Govern-
ment and the French public for making so much
of so puerile a piece of claptrap. This way of cri-
ticising an incident which can happily have no pos-
sible parallel in England, seems to us to shown sad
want of that intelligent and thoughtful sympathy,
without which it is impossible to estimate reasonably
the state of the public mind in a foreign country.
No doubt there was something to disinterested
and dispassionate observers of this incident which
shocks the sense of courtesy, and seems almost to
sin against good manners. But if we con-
sider the state of politics and of
parties in France, and certain passages of French
history during the last twenty years, we shall
acknowledge that there was something in this
meeting of the widow and son of General
CAVAIONAC face to face with the WE and heir of
Lotms NAPOLEON, which more than excused—
which lent an historic significance to the act
of a schoolboy. Incidents quite as trivial as
this at the Sorbonne live for ever in the pages
of the greatest of Roman historians who wrote
under the CESAR&
