The Committee of Prize Medalists (International,
1862), now acting conjointly with the Mercantile
Law Amendment Society, have prepared a bill,
which is now in the hands of Earl Granville and the
Lord Chancellor, and which it is expected will be
introduced early next week. The standing order being
sust.,ended for that purpose. The object of the Bill is
to constitute the fraudulent use of the medals by non-exhi-
bitors and o hers who have not received awards from her
Majesty's commissioners, a misdemeanour under the new
Merchandise Marks Act, 1862. It is anticipated that a
measure of such vast commercial importance will have
unanimous support in both houses of Parliament.
THE EMPRESS EUGENIE AND THE EMPEROR.
IsrApoLEoN.—The Etnrress, says the Lady's News
paper, gave a fete the other afternoon at Villeneuve l'Etang
for which upwards of 150 invitations were issued. A night
festival was discussed, and proposed to take place next
Monday, in which the lakes, or rather ponds, of the
Impress's little villa and domain were to play an im-
portant part, the present fashion having set in favour of
boating by moonlight, or, for want of a neton, by elec-
tric light ; but the orders for the fete hays been
countermanded, and her Majesty and the Prince Imperial
live very quietly at St. Cloud, showing themselves at rare
intervals only through the alleys of the Bois when the Em-
press is obliged to drive into Paris. The Emperor, mean-
while, is going through the course of Vichy waters, which
at this moment boast of the presence of M. Funld, the Prince
de he Moakowe, Prince Joachim Murat, the Jount and
Countess de Lifts, and a great many personages of high
rank and station. The Emperor, as usual, inspects the
new promenades and improvements going on by hie
orders at Vichy, and purchased a few days ago a piece
of ground adjoining the chalets he is this year inhabit-
ing, and which belongs to Strauss, in order to form
plantations round his new habitation. A detachment of
Grenadiers of the Guardlare in attendance on his Majesty,
and form a camp near the chalets occupied by the Em-
peror and his suite Some theatrical representations took
place the other evening, at which the Emperor and his
guests were present ; and he is mentioned in a pr vate letter
from Vichy, as devoting many of his leisure hours to the
00erection of the last proof sheets of the first vellums of his
" Lite of Csis-tr." NI. Pion, the printer, is et present there,
and it is supposed brought hts Majesty the proofs to be
correc'ed by his own hand.
MR. LINDSAY AND .%IR. ROEBUCK —as sketched
in the Court Chronicle:—" N-i her the present
Position nor the antecedents of Mr. Lindsay can be said to
fit him peculiarly for ~he office of ambassador very extra-
Ordinary,' as Vr. Brieht designated him. He certainly is
not a courtier, nor is he particularly refined either in his
bearieg or appearance. He, however, has a remarkably
elevated notion of himself. He speaks in an oracular tone,
and with the air of a man who is oppressed with the cares
of state and statesmanship. He speaks to the House of Com-
mons, too, with a kind of condescending or patronising air,
as thougb there was no oneecle,rae

PRINCE NICHOLAS OF OLDENBURG.--The young
prince, who lately ranked as aciu4 ant to the El
peror of Russia, and is "proprietor" of the Izum regiment
of dragoons of the Crown Prince of Prussia, hi's, by an
imperial order of the day, been removed from active service
"on account of illness." There is also another explanation
of, the matter, as it would appear that the prince is not on he
sick list, but is on a journey with his young wife, a Miss
or PraulPin Bularel, to whom la, was married in the greatest
secrecy at a small village church in Russia a short time
since. His marriage is the head and front ct his offending,
and hence his removal from his post by the Cz.,:r.
