SECRETARY TO THE BOARD OF WORKS.—Rumours are
abroad that Mr. Josiah Wilkinson, the representative of
St. Pancras, who has taken upon himself the office of
hon. secretary to the Metropolitan Board of Works, is
a candidate for the appointment of permanent paid se-
cretary. In reference to the appointment of the chair-
man pro tem., it will be remembered that the board
were exceedingly particular that no gentleman should
be permited to fill that office who was a candidate for
the permanent and paid chairmanship of the board, as
it was felt that it would give him an undue prestige and
advantage over his competitors. This was no doubt a
very proper precaution, and the general feeling amongst
those whom the rumour has reached, as to the probable
candidature of Mr. Wilkinson as paid secretary, is that
the same course which was pursued by the Central Board
of Works with respect to the chairman should have been
adopted with respect to the secretary, namely, that a pledge
thathe "did not intend to offer himself for the paid office"
should have been exacted from the gentleman who volun-
teered his services as honorary secretary. It was believed
to be the impression of the board, so far as we can learn,
that the pledge that applied to Mr. Nicholay, as the
chairman pro tem., equally applied to Mr. Wilkinson as
the honorary secretary. Amongst the other candidates
in the field are mentioned—Mr. Woolrych, the present
secretary of the Sewers' Commission ; Mr. L. C. Herts-
lett, secretary to the old commission ; Mr. J. Hall
Buckston, accountant, of Holles-street, Cavendish-
square ; and Mr. E. R. Cook, barrister-at-law, of 10,

THE RETURN ,OF THE IMPERIAL
GUAM!).

PARIS,. Saturday, 'Dec.,2o, p• m.

There is no ection of the armies of France more popu-
lar than the Imperial Guard ; none whose history awakes
more interesting memories, or whose name is associated
with more noble traditions. Poetry andi painting have
contributed to preserve their fame. From the palaoe to
the cottage ; in the most elaborate, production of the
artist to the most unskilful daub of the village reign-
painter ; from the most carefully finished engraving to
the rudest wood-out that decorates the white walls of
the country wineshop, the Grenadier of the Guard sttinds
next to the Emperor himself, as the type and model of
the military virtues of the French soldier ; and every-
Where, on all occasions, and in every class, to have been
ricitx de la Mlle is' the passport to respect and ad-
miration. With that costume every' child is familiar,
and veriest gamin 'Paris, who respects nothing, looks
upon it with reverence, and feels stirring within him the
ambition of being some day worthy to rival the heroes
with whose history ho is so familiar.
The existence of the Guard dates before the empire,
though it was after that period that it acquired its great
celebrity. It existed under the Consulate, and not the
st .‘rkable of its triumphal entries into Paris was

England that the Imperial Guards was completely
organised. It was intended to form the reserve of
the whole army, and as such more immediately under the
command of the Emperor himself. Each corps com-
prised four divisions, varying i❑ strength from
5,000 to 7,000 men, commanded by generals of
division, who received their orders from the general of
the corps. The Imperial Guard was considered so essen-
tially a corps crelite that it was only ou some great occa-
sion, either to turn the scale of victory when yet doubt-
ful or to serve as the last rampart against the victorious
enemy that was employed. On the hard-fought field of
Borodino the Guard was not brought up. It was too
precious an instrument to be used, except on the most
important occasions, and the Emperor himself declared
that he felt the necessity of preserving it unimpaired in
order to strike a decisive blow in the greater battle which
he expected the enemy would fight in the plains in front
of Moscow. Had the Guard been seriously damaged at
Borodino it is doubtful whether the army, of which it
was the heart and soul, would have been able to repass
the Niemen.
It was to the Old Guard that the last farewell was
addressed at Fontainebleau, when the Emperor declared
that he bad ever found them in the path of honour and
of glory, and that in adversity as in prosperity they
never ceased to be models of bravery and fidel►ty. It
was to them that pathetic farewell was addressed ; it
was their eagle that he last pressed to his bosom before
setting out for Elba, and it was on their standard he
imprinted his last kiss, while these weather-beaten war-
riors, whose name was synonymous with glory, wept
like women at that bitter parting from the chief whom
they believed they had then seen for the last time.
One of the first acts of the Restoration was the disso-
lution of that noble corps. They had, in the first in-
stance, been intrusted with the guard at the Tuileries,
but were speedily removed, and their place supplied
by troops obtained from Switzerland and La VenVie.
They were even removed from Paris under pretence of
avoiding quarrels with the troops of the allies who
occupied the capital ; the officers were sent to their
homes, there to await their ulterior destination, and
the most stringent orders given to the troops who
had returned from foreign garrisons to prevent the
slightest allusion to the name of the fallen Emperor.
The new force wearing uniforms unknown to the army
of Imperial France, and never stained on the field of
battle, supplanted the old troops and the National Guard
in the service of the Royal palace. These changes were
submitted is in silence, but they were never effaced from
they heart of the army, and that dream of security ob-
tained from such measures was soon to have a terrible

The organisation of the Guard by the present Emperor
is of too recent a date to require notice of any particu-
lar kind, and the events which gave interest to its en-
try into the capital this day are familiar to every one.
The ceremony has been looked forward to with much
interest, and the entire popuia'ion of Paris seemed de-
sirous of associating themselves with this military gte.
There were not many among the multitude who wit-
nessed the exciting spectacle that did not count among
these gallant troops a relative or a friend, and the excla-
mations which hailed their presence proved to the sol-
, (hers of Alma, Inkerman, and Sebastopol what sympathy
really exists towards them in the hearts of the people.
At 10 o'clock this morning while an immense crowd
thronged the main passages leading to the Bastille and
filled its approaches the battalions of the National Guard
and the regiments composing the army of the East formed
the double line, which reached from the Place Vendome
to the Bastille, along which the Imperial Guard, and the
20th, 50th, and 70th Regiments of the Line were to pass.
The 39th, which bad much suffered before Sebastopol,
has not yet arrived, though it was hoped it would form
pert of the cortege. It is hardly necessary to say that
great preparations were made to give this remarkable
fete all the solemnity which was due to it. Near
the Place de la Bastille, at the entrance of the Bou-
levard Beaumarchais, a lofty triumphal arch was
erected, coloured mo as to represent a structure of
red granite. On the frieze of the monument were
inscribed the words, "A la gloire de 1. Armee
d'Oricnt." A shield with an azure field bore in letters
of gold the name of Sebastopol, and wag encircled with
various military emblems. On the summit were the
Imperial arms, surrounded by a cluster of flags, and
four golden eagles, with outspread wings, occupied the
sides. Two gilt statues, representing Victory, appeared
on the right and left of the two facades of the monu-
ment, and held in their hands crowns of laurel. On the
frieze were inscribed the names of the different corps
d'arrnje ; a bas-relief which adorned the arch represented
France and the muse of history. On the sides were in-
.scribed the names of the principal battles fought and
won against the Russians—namely, Bomarsund, Eupa-
toria, Kerteh, Kinbourn, Sweaborg, Balaklava, Kami-
xsh, the Alma, Inkerman, Traktir, Kougkil, the Male,
khoff, and Silistria. Four lofty poles, with oriflamines
1 floating from the summit, were planted in front of the
triumphal arch. The whole line of the Boulevards was
adorned with flags and streamers, and at regular inter-
vals Venetian masts supported trophies and shields, and
immense banners with the national colours, on which
glittered in gold the initials of the Emperor and Em-
press, and inscriptions in honour of the victorious
troops.
In some places platforms richly ornamented were
erected, and which, from an early hour of the day, were
occupied by crowds of operatives eager to behold the im-
posing spectacle, which appeared like one long triumphal
avenue. Opposite the theatre of the Porte St. Martin a
second triumphal arch particalarly attracted the atten-
tion of the crowd, from the richness and elegance of its
decorations, and which,,like that on the Boulevard Beau-
marchais, displayed emblems and devices illustrative of
the great event of the day. The Cirque d I'lmperatrice
and the other theatres along the line of march were
also decorated. The Rue de la Paix, through which the
troops were to pass, and the Place Vendome were
dressed out with banners ; and two trophies, surmounted
by the Imperial eagle, and formed of clusters of flags ar-
ranged in tasteful symmetry, decorated the Bazaar at
the entrance of that noble street.
The facade of the Hotel of the Minister of Justice,
which is in the Place Vendome, nearly opposite the co-
lumn, was richly decorated. A canopy of crimson velvet,
embroidered in gold, extended from the windows of the
first floor, where a large balcony had been prepared for
the reception of the Empress, the ladies of the Court,
and the members of the Diplomatic Corps who represent
the belligerent Powers.
At 11 o'clock the coup d'ceil was very fine. The wea-
ther was fine, thoughlthe sun did not show himself. The
more genial air which has succeeded for a time the bitter
cold of the previous days, was admirably suited to the
occasion, and the wind kept in constant movement the
long line of banners and streamers which extended to the
Bastile. The crowd was immense— quite as much so as
on the occasion of Queen Victoria's visit. The people
were everywhere in the lateral streets of the Boulevards,
the windows an balconies were crammed with specta-
tors, and groupd s climbed to the roof of the houses. Seen
from the windows there was scarce an inch of ground
vacant, and as the hour advanced every eye was strained
in the direction of the Rue de la Paix, by which the Em-
peror was to pass, on the way to the Bastille. At a

bullets.
of the part the battalion had taken in the campaign of
the Crimea, and dwelt o❑ the dangers they had braved,
the privations they had suffered, and the glory they had
won. At once the drums heat to arms, and the distant
shout announced the approach of the Emperor, and in a
few minutes his Majesty, preceded by the Guides, and
followed by his brilliant staff and no less brilliant escort,
entered the square in which the Pillar of July stands.

Ile wai received at the Bastille by Marshal Ma,gnan ;
and the expeditionary troops, having placed their kepis
on the points of their bayonets, cheered him with deafen-
ing cries of "Vivo l'Entpereurr in which they were
joined by the immense multitude which covered the
Place de la Bastille and the adjoining Boulevard. The
Emperor slowly rode before the lines of the troops, re-
turning to the centre, near the Pillar of July, 1830, and
the officers having drawn up around him, his Majesty
delivered, in a firm and strong voice, the following ad-
dress to the troops :
" Soldiers,—l have come to meet you as in other
times the Roman Senate went to the gates of Rome to
meet her victorious legions. I have come to tell you
that you have deserved well of your country.
" My emotion is great, for with the happiness I feel
at again seeing you are mingled painful regrets for those
who are no more and deep sorrow that I could not my.
self lead you on to battle.
" Soldiers of the Guard and soldiers of the Line, I bid

you welcome.
"Yon all represent that army of the East whose cou-
rage and whose perseverance have invested with new
lustre our eagles, and won for France the rank which is

her due.
"The country, alive to all that is accomplished in the
East, receives you with all the greater pride that she
estimates your 'efforts by the obstinate resistance of the

enemy.
"I have recalled you, though the war be not termi•
nated, because it is only just to relieve in their turn the
regiments that have suffered most. Each will thus be
able to take his share in glory, and the country which
maintains 600,000 soldiers has an interest in maintaM-
ing in France a numerous and experienced army ready
to march wheresoever necessity may require. Preserve,
then, carefully the habits of war, and fortify yourselves
in the experience you have already acquired. Hold
yourselves in readiness to respond, if need be, to my
appeal ; but yet on this day forget the hardships of a
soldier's life, return thanks to God for having spared
you, and march proudly in the midst of your brethren
in arms and your fellovr•citizens whose acclamations

await you."
After We addrefl, not one word of whiela W RTo»b ty
the troops, and whioh was received with the londe3t ac-
clamations, Marshal Magnan assumed the command of
the Crimean corps, who formed into columns, and the
cortege of the Emperor returned in the same order to

the Place Vendome.
The troops then commenced their movement in the
following order, preceded by the Schools of the Etat-
-111,,j0r and St. Cyr :—A detachment of mounted Chas-
seurs ; the Sappers and hand of the ?Atli Regiment of
the Line ; Marshal Magnan and his Staff ; the General
of Division of the expeditionary corps ; the 20th, 50th,
and 97th Regiments of the Line ; General Mellinet, who
bore on his face the noble scar he received in the san-
guinary action of the Bth of September ; the Staff of the
General ; the Foot Chasseurs of the Imperial Guard ;
the Zonaves of the Guard, the two Regiments of Volti-
geurs of the Guard, the Artillery and Engineers of the
Guard, the two regiments of Grenadiers, and the Regi-
ment of Gendarmes of the Guard.
The whole of the troops were in heavy marching or-
der, and were preceded by such of the wounded of each
corps as were able to walk. As the regiments passed
they were received with the loudest acclamations, and
the ladies never ceased waving their handkerchiefs. As
each commanding officer rode at the head of his corps
he raised his sword and saluted the fair enthusiasts who
welcomed them. Brigadier Gen. Cler, who distinguished
himself as Col. of the Zouaves ; Brigadier-Gen. Blanshard
late Colonel of the Grenadiers of the Guard, who was at
the bead of the Voltigeure ; and another commanding
officer whose pale and haggard features and mutilated
arm told of severe wounds, were particularly remarked ;
and the greeting that met General Canrobert, who rode
at the head of the division, was, it is superfluous to say,
of the heartiest kind. As the column passed along se-
veral of the people rushed in between the ranks to grasp '
the hand of some old friend, and whisper a word of wel-
come. The Zonaves came in for a great share of the
enthusiasm. The cortege was closed by a crowd of men
in blouses, who marched in military order, and followed
the column to the Place Vendome.
When the Emperor reached the Place Vendome, the
acclamations redoubled, and cries of " Vice l'Empercur !"
" Vice l' Imperatriee I" were raised on all sides. His
Majesty took his station with his back to the Pillar of
the Grand Armee, and facing the balcony of the Ministry
of Justice, where the Empress shortly afterwards ap-
peared surrounded by her Ladies of Honour, the officers
of her household, the representatives of the Allied
Powers, &c. All the windows of the square were lined
with ladies attired in the richest toilets. The spectacle
was truly splendid. According as the troops reached
the square they defiled before their Majesties, crying
" Vice l'Empereur" and " Vice l'lmperatrice." At two
o'clock, the defile being terminated, and the troops hay- 1
log marched to the quarters assigned to them, the Em-
press
ascended her carriage and returned to the Tuileries,
the Emperor riding at the right door and Prince Na-
poleon to the left, and Marshals Valliant, Magnan,
Baragnay d'Hilliers, General Canrobert, and a number
of general and superior officers forming an escort of
honour. The Emperor and Empress re-entered the
palace saluted by the acclamations of the crowd. . .
As I write the whole line of the Boulevards is bril-
liantly illuminated, and the flags and streamers are still
floating in the air.

THE COMMISIdIONERS Or SEWERS.—This day
.(Monday)
the powers of the Commissioners of Sewers expire, and
the duties are transferred to the new Board of Works.
All rates made by the former are now to be enforced
under the Local Management Act.
It is our painful duty this week to record the death of
John Mercer, Esq., one of the leading members of the
highly respected firm of Mercer, Randall, Mercer, and
Mercer, of the Kentish Bank, Maidstone. The melan-
choly event took place at Nice, in Italy, where the de-
ceased gentleman had been for some years in the habit
of passing the winter months.—Maidstone Journal.
THE BILLETING SYSTEM.—DEPUTATION TO LORD
PANMURE.—On Saturday afternoon a deputation from the
licensed victuallers of St. Pancras waited, by appoint-
ment on Lord Panmure, at the office of the War Depart-
ment, Whitehall-place, for the purpose of presenting a
grievances
memorial from the trade complaining of the
suffered by licensed victuallers in connection with the pre-
sent system of billeting. The deputation consisted of Mr.
Pattie, chairman of the public meeting ; 31.essrs. Jones,
Suter, Sugden, Harbert, Parsons, Prickett, Quinton,
Burgess, Middleton, and. the Secretary. The Secretary
having read a memorial, which had been adopted at a
public meeting, Mr. Jones, at considerable length, de-
tailed the evils of the present billeting system. Lord
Panmure assured the deputation that the memorial
should have his best attention, and the licensed victual-
lers, metropolitan and provincial, might rely upon the
Government doing all in their power to remedy the in-
conveniences complained of. The deputation then
withdrew.
