lined tLe way !orr.ued into cl.;.e co!uLan the cen-
tre, and after some delay, owing o the still continuous
stream of deputations of every hi tnd that still poured
along towards the Tuileries and the crowds that pressed
on both sides, gradually moved cif to their quarters.
Yet it was a considerable time before they cleared away.
In the meantime the P:inco made his way to the
Tuileries by the Place de la Concorde. On the Place
do la Concorde were assembled the deputations of the
numerous trades' corporations of Pais, with their
banners at their head. There also were drawn up in
two lines the oung girls dressed in white and placed
in front of the troops, and their appearance presented a
pleasing contrast to the numerous and varied uniforms
of the troops. The Prince sideaeced towards the gate
of the Tuileries, passed under the triumphal arch of the
Pont-Tournant, and rode up the grand avenue of the
gardens to the gate of the Palace, where he alighted.
Notwithstanding the fatigue of a more than 30 days'
journey, and the scenes he has passed through, he looked
remarkably well.
The deputations with the banners followed bins from
the Place de la Concorde. The two first that entered
the space before the Palace acclaimed him in the most
enthusiastic manner. They were of the Seine and Seine
and Oise. The Prince appeared in the grand balcony
and bowed his thanks. The others, believing that he
was going to review them all, followed hard, and the
crowd soon became so great that the three gates had to
be thrown open, and they pressed thrcugh to the Place
de Carrousel, still shouting " Vive Empereur I Vive
Napoleon 111 !" Louis Napoleon did not again appear
on the balcony, but the stream of deputations poured
along before the windows, and np to 8 o'clock, though he
had reached the Palace before 5, they still continued de-
filing. At B'ciock he left for St. Cloud. The deputations
returned again by the Boulevards, still with the same cry
as they passed the arches. The communal schools, com•
posed of children of nearly all ages, formed a cortege of their
own, with banners unfurled, and shouting, "Vivo l'Em-
perenr! " and at 10 o'clock the Boulevards were full of
people, and the same cries occasionally heard. As night
tell the public buildings were illuminated, as also many
private houses on the Boulevards, with transparencies
bearing the initials of the President, surmounted with
the Imperial crown.
The weather was most beautiful. The sun was warm,
but not too much so, and a fine breeze, which had lost all
the:keenness of the last few days, kept the thousand
flags and streamers iu a constant flutter, and added ani-
mation to the whole scene.
We should have mentioned that on the arrival of Louis
Napoleon at the Orleans terminus, addresses were read
to him by M. Delangle, the President of the Municipal
Commission of Paris, and. by Dl. BERGEA, the Prefect of
the Seine.

THE CONTINENT.

SPAIN.

Accounts from Madrid are of the 11th ins►. The
Gazette does not yet contain the decree for the convoca-
tion of the Cortes. There are still rumours of changes
in the Ministry. M. de la Torre Aylion is more espe-
cially spoken of as about to be appointed to the Foreign
Department. The concessions of all the lines of railway
are suspended, with the exception of the lines from
Madrid to Almanza, and from :liar to Santander. One
of the reasons assigned for the suspension, is the fear of
the large ',mount of interest that will be payable at the
same time if so many lines are proceeded with simulta-

neously.

ITALY.

Letters from Naples state that the prosecution of the
15th of May, IS4B, i. concluded, and the sentence of the
Special Court published. Seven individuals have been
condemned to death, two to 30 years' imprisonment in
chains, end 22 to the like punishment for 26 years. The
Procureur•General, it is said, have given instructions
that no capital punishment shall take place before a re-
ference be made to the Minister of Justice.

GERMANY.
The Austrian Correspondence says that the reason of
the English Government ni!,patching 9,000 troops to
Herat is, that it views with suspicion the occupation of
that fortress by the Persians, and wishes to re-eztablish
its independence.
The New Gazette of Prussia has been warned as to
the language it, uses relative to the President of France.
The illness of M. V. Plordten, the President of the
Council of Bavaria, continues to be of a very serious
and dangerous character.
The Burgomasters and Senate of Frankfort have
issued their decree for the election of members to
the Legislative Assembly. The days fixed for the
elections are the 18th and 19th inst. It is quite certain
that Frankfort will ha represented at the conferences
with Austria, together with the coalition, on the cus-
toms question.
The Emperor of Austria loft the camp of Pordenone
on the 11th for Croatia.
The Austrian Lloyd's states that a treaty of extradi-
tion has just been conclnded between Austria and the
Netherlands.
A letter from Vienna, in the Prussian Gazette, states
that Saxony and Baden have both formally protested
against a new customs conference being held at Vienna,
but Saxony does not refuse to renew at a later period
negotiations at Vienna.

FOREIGN THEATRICALS.

The Paris Italian Opera. wilt open, we are informed,
under its new director, M. Corti, about the middle of
November. Little is yet known of the personnel of the
troupe ; but it is stated that we are likely to hear some
of our favourites of the olden time, among whom the
names of Mines. Grisi and Persiani, and M. Taraburini
have been mentioned. MM. Bettini and Maset, both of
whom have been heard at the Grand Opera, have also
been named, but nothing, we believe, is as yet defini-
tively settled. The Minister has given M. Corti the
priv i!ege for three years, with the power of resigning
at the close of each season. The Government grant
him an annual subvention of 100,000 fr.. out of which
the rent of the Belle, amounting to 60,000 fr. or 70,0001 r.
is to be defrayed.
The health of Mlle. Rachel, which since her return to
Paris has been too delicate to permit her appearing in
any of those characters that require much physical
exertion, is now, all admirers will be glad to hear, gra-
dually improving.
Bazzini, the violinist, has been creating a perfect
furors at Lyons, whence, according to the last accounts,
he was proceeding to Italy.
At the Cannobiana, in Milan, Amalie Ferraris con-
tinues to attract large audiences.
At Rome the opera is flourishing; Mlle. Piecolomini
becomes every day a greater favourite, and her fellow
artistes form a good working troupe, remarkable for its
ensemble. M. Soares is the basso, and M. Guiglini is
described as a respectable tenor. In the last opera, Don
Bucefulo, Mlle. Piecolomini is reproached with an abuse
of the great flexibility of her voice. Pacini's Buondel
monte was in rehearsal for Mme. Barbieri-Mini.
La Seals, at Milan, is to open with a new opera, by
a composer named Mazzucato, entitled Luigi Quinto.
No mention is yet made of the troupe.
According to the Osservatore Triestino, Mlle. Plunkett
has been engaged fur the opera at Trieste, as " ballerina
di prime cartello," at a salary of 10,000 fr. a month.
The company for the Italian Opera at the Oriente, in
Madrid, has been completed, and the season was an-
nounced to commence in the early part of this month.
The principal artistes are Mmes. Clara Novelle), Angri,
Capnani; Messrs. Cuzzani, Bettini, and Vitali are the
tenors, and the baritones and bassi are Messrs. Coletti,
Roppa, and Selva. The only star in the ballet depart-
ment is Mine. Flora Fabbri.
The company at St Petersburg this season will com-
prise Mile. Cruvelli, Mme. Medori; MM. Mario, Ron-
coni, and Tamberlik, and the great basso, Lablache, who
now visits the Russian capital for the first time.
Mlle. Bochkoltz Falconi and M. Stigelli are at present
on a musical tour in Germany, which, from all accounts,
appears to bo attended with eosnpiete sUCCO63.
Mme. Sontag made her dCmt before an American
audience, on the 27th of last month, and, from all
accounts, with a success second only to the Lind

WAS PENN EVER A SLAVEHoLDER f-DlOl Wm.
Penn ever make use of negro slaves? As this question is
put, I should think he did; and for my authority in thus
believing would refer Mr. Croosfield to liepworth Dixon's
i
recent " Life of Penn," published in London n p.
389:—" Many years after this he (Penn) spoke of slavery as
a matter of course, and though he refrained from the actual
purchase of negroes, so as in strict fact never to become a
slaveowner, yet he constantly hired them from their masters,
and they formed a regular part of the establishment at
Pennsbury." William Penn was, therefore, a slaveholder, if
not a slaveowner. Many planters in America are similarly
situated at the present day ; they hire slaves to cultivate
their land, but do not own them. Mr. Bancroft would appear
to be correct.-droni Motes and Queries,
