EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR
1862.
The Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now
called upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
Meeting of its Shareholders.
FIRE BRANCH.
The Directors have, as pleasingly as unexpectedly, at the
close of the year, to announce, for the first time, that the Fire
Premiums have not only reached, but exceed 4300,000.
The high comparative position held by the Royal in the
Government Returns of Duty is again fully maintained.
The profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably
the amount realised in the preceding* year, and in fact sur-
passes that of any vQar, with but two exceptions, since the
commencement of thin Office, the balance to the credit on
account of British and Foreign Insurances being 445,107 10s.
Sd., and of the North American business, which is kept sepa-
rately, £11,097 16s. 10d.
LIFE BRANCH.
The very gratifying duty now falls upon the Directors to
state the sum assured on new policies for the year 1862
exceeds even that of the year 1861 by 4180,000, and has arrived
St
the almost unexampled issued. for a single year of 4701,427 on 1,498 new policies Until within the last
few years it is believed that such a sum assured as that which
has just been announced as the result of one year's business
was all but unheard of.
This portion of the Company's business has been carefully
watched, and cannot fail to give much satisfaction to the
shareholder, as well as no small encouragement for the
future to the participating life assurer.
Evidence of continued care in the selection of lives is amply
afforded by a statement of the number rejected. These have
amounted to 311 for the year, on which the aggregate sum
proposed for assurance Amounts to £143,281. Various degrees
of ineligibility have led to these lives being declined.
No small number of the Assurance Companies of the day
record their accepted lives annually at a sum not much, if at
all, exceeding those which the Royal has declared as inadmis-
sitile in a single year from deterioration of some kind or
another.
If. to complete their review, the Directors now advert
briefly Fire Business its to the United Kingdom, they have to announce that
in progress has been undoubtedly more
rapid than that of any other Company established either in
Lonclan or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have taken
place. The returns of duty have proved this, In Life, the
amount of New Policies already reported make all other
evidence needless.
The Directors conclude their present Report with the
expression of an opinion that the prospects of the Royal
Insurance Company were never brighter, and of a consequent
hope, founded on a grateful remembrance of the past, that
the future may unfold for it a sphere of still greater magni-
tude, combining distinguished commercial success to the
Office with a lei, gthened career of usefulness and protection
to the public.

CELEBRATION of the TERCENTENARY of
the BIRTH of SHAKSPEARE, at Stratford-upon-
Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert
N. C. Hamilton, Bart., K.C.8.. is Chairman) are now receiv-
ing SUBSCRIPTIONS, and they may also be paid to the
account of the Tercentenary Committee, at the Stourbridge
and Kidderminster or Warwick and Leamington Banks,
Stratford-upon-Avon; Messrs. Greenway, Smith, and
Greenway, Warwick ; or their London agents, Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and Co , Messrs Hanburys and Co., or Messrs.
Glyn and Co , bankers, London.
The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip-
tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers
of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee
rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only
the birthplace of Shakspeare, but the centre of attraction to
all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was hie
home, the town he loved, and where he lived and died.

way Terminus, at King's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form--viz., that which is accom-
pcnied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

son, D. A.C.G., Mr. Innes and Mr. Parris, Assistant Native
Secretary—the whole under the command of Lieut.-Gene-
ral Cameron, C.B.—marched from town by the Great South
road. On reaching the Potoko redoubt the force was joined
by a party of the 57th Regiment, under Col. Moore, C. 8.,
Capt. Russell, Adjutant Clarke, Ensign Douglass, Dr.
Mackinnon, and Quartermaster Martindale; the detach-
ment of the 40th being left there in garrison, under Lieut.
Hobbs. At Oakura the force was joined by a detachment of
the 70th, under Capt. Tovey, remaining to garrison that
post. The troops, observing a dead silence, with a party of
skirmishers along the heights, proceeded to Tataraimaka,
where they were reinforced by Lieut.-Col. Logan, Captain
Short, Ensign Duncan, and Lieutenant Warburton, R.E.,
with a detachment of the 57th from Oakura, together with
Lieutenant Pickard, R.A., and three Armstrong guns, and
a detachment of the mounted artillery, and Lieutenant
Ferguson, R.E., with a sergeant and six men of the Engi,
neers. The whole force assembled at St. George's Redoubt,
and waited impatiently there till daylight. The force was
then formed in the rear of the redoubt,as follows :—The 57th,
including the Tataraimaka detachment, under Col: Warre,
as the advance—the 65th and 70th to follow as a support.
At a quarter-past 6 a.m. the force advanced to the attack,
the course being taken to the left of the redoubt, over Bay-
ly's farm. After marching about 400 yards,the Armstrong
battery halted, and was posted on the edge of the ridge over-
hanging the Katikara river. Here the guns immediately
wheeled up, and fired into the native redoubt, about 800
yards distant, directly inland, the 57th at the same time
double down the valley in single file to attack the rifle pits to
the right of the enemy's position. After dashing across the
stream,and ascending the opposite height, the advance,under
Lieuts. Waller and Brutton, with their colonel in command,
immediately rushed the rifle pits to the right, and drove the
enemy from their position above the mouth of the river,
opening up the road to the reserves, which came rapidly up
while the supporting party under Lieutenant-Col. Logan,
Captains Short and Russell, and Ensigns Manners, Dun-
can, and Douglass, having been fired upon from the re-
doubt, turned to their left, and running over an open
space of 300 yards, with fixed bayonets, stormed the place,
killing every native found in it. Captain Short, with his
party, and Captain Russell, with his, rushed to the redoubt
almost simultaneously, while Ensign Duncan was coming
over at another part. Captain Short claims to be first in,
and Colonel Logan, who dismounted his horse just outside,
went in immediately after. The men behaved well, and
nothing could resist the impetuosity of the charge. The
natives were at once driven into their holes, where the
bayonet did its work. On the right, Colonel Warre's party
cleared the rifle-pits, and pursued the flying enemy south-
wards and inland, Colonel Warre leading his men through
the high fern with conspicuous gallantry—the 65th and
70th coming up in time by the right of St. George's
Redoubt, and up to the Katikara Valley, to be of essential
service. The brunt of the action was borne by the 57th.
The General was highly pleased with the gallant manner in
which the enemy's positions were carried, and, we are told,
complimented Colonel Warre and his men on the spot,
telling the Colonel he ' ought to be proud.to command so
fine a regiment. Well done 57th.' When the Armstrong
guns ceased firing (the practice of which was excellent)
Lieutenant Rait and a party of the artillery, with their
sword and revolvers, crossed the gully river to the left, to
try and intercept the retreat of the enemy from their re-
doubt. The Maori position taken by Colonel Logan's party,
in which were several whares, was fired, and the enemy pur-
sued in all directions. The bodies of the natives killed (24
in number) were brought to the Tataraimaka camp in trans-
port carts, and several persons asked if they could identify
any of them. One was supposed to be Tamati Hone Oran-
kawa,chief of the Nagarauhine division of Ngatiruanui tribe.
but it was almost impossible to tell, from the fact of one-
half of the head having been blown away by a shell, but
none of the others could be identified. Several guns were
taken, and a fine taiaha (a chief's spear) and several toms.
hawks are trophies in the hands of the men. The spear was
sold to an officer for £lO. The Eclipse was anchored off the
Katikaka Valley, and threw some shells while the troops
were advancing to the attack. A shell from her Armstrong
gun was thrown with admirable precision, and the distance
judged exactly. The ship lay within a mile of the native
redoubt, and one shell fell into the centre of it, and killed
at least one native, for a piece of the fuse was found in one
of the bodies, which Commander Mayne has preserved. The
loss of the natives may be safely estimated at about forty
killed, and a great number wounded. Another account esti-
mates the loss at about 75 killed. The bodies brought in
were only those killed in the redoubt, and it is known that
several natives were shot while retreating.

" The loss of the Queen's troops was one killed, and about
ten wounded, but two of the wounded have since died. The
following is a list of the casualties :-57th Regiment—
Killed, Private Edward Martin ; wounded, Private H.
Shipman, mortal, wound in head (since dead) ; Private
J. Osborne, dangerously, wound of abdomen (since dead) ;
Private P. Flaherty, severely, gunshot, shoulder ; Private
J. Evans, severely, gunshot, wrist; Private M. Fox,
slightly, thumb wounded ; Private J. Deagan, slightly,
gunshot, face ; Private D. Hurley, slightly, tomahawk,
ankle ; Private Isaac Morton, severely, contusion, both
thighs ; Private B. Staokpool, severely, tomahawk, shin.
70th Regiment.--Wounded—Private W. Wallace, severely,
gunshot, elbow.

" The Militia and Volunteers have been thanked by the
Lieutenant-General, in an order of the day, for protecting
the town and for their general zeal and goodwill.
," The latest accounts state that the Matatawa natives
have all gone over en masse to the enemy, and have signi-
fied their intention to murder the settlers. Unfortunately
there is too much reason to fear that the war has only
commenced.

" The body of Patrick Regan, the missing man in the
Warren beach massacre, has been found huddled i a
potato pit, about 100 yards from the scene of the 'murder,
A party of 300 men, under Colonel Warre, r..)t the 57th,
brought it in for decent burial."

The special correspondent, of the Nelson Exa-
miner, writing on the Btn of June from Taranaki,
reports as follows :

THE SHIN, -LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1863..

THE RECALL OF SIR JAMES HUDSON.

The Italians, not having it in their power to fall
foul of Earl Russell, are attacking their own Minis-
ters, as the following article from the Dintto will
clearly enough testify :
" The rectlll of the illustrious English diplomatist
ought not, in the first place, to be ascribed to the
causes alleged by our semi-official journals. It is
not true that Sir James Hudson had completed the
term of his diplomatic mission ; so little so, indeed,
that other embassies were offered to him, which he
refused, because, being greatly attached to Italy, be
preferred stt:ying amongst us in the character of a
private individual, and it would appear he has
chosen as his place of residence, Florence. This
change is believed to be connected with reasons of
far more serious importance, relating to the new
system of policy which England proposes to initiate
respecting France, and by which Italy, rendered by
our Ministers wholly dependent on the will of
France, will be compelled greatly to suffer. It is
deemed probable that Sir James Hudson's known
attachment to Italy would have prevented him from
being the obedient instrument of plans to her
hurt, and that, even unconsciously, his personal
affection for the country might have exercised an
influence on his official conduct. This induction is
confirmed by the nomination of Mr. Elliot, who,
unless his opinions have changed, was in 1860
so little convinced of the solid character
of our revolution as to declare publily
that Italian unity was a mere dream. The
part which this diplomatist has played in
Eastern affairs is well known, and, without doubt
the appointment is an ominous one for Italy. To
this must be added that the English Government
gave no intimation to ours of the intended change
of its representative. And our Government, which
of all is the worst served as regards diplomacy,
learned the thing only when it was done—after a
correspondence had taken place between the
Foreign-office and Sir J. Hudson, offering him other
diplomatic appointments, after he had successively
refused them, after his resignation had been accepted,
and the nomination of his successor certain. Then
only did Signor Visconti-Venosta receive official
knowledge of the affair, and he wrote to the Mar-
quis d'Azeglio at London, praying him to use his
efforts to prevent Sir James Hudson from being re-
called. But it was too late. We cannot tell how
the English-Foreign-office received the representa-
tions of our Ambassador; all we know is, that he
left London for some watering-place."

It would be difficult, perhaps, to give a greater
proof of the extent of Sir James Hudson's influ-
ence than is furnished by the above article. Here
is a journal, the avowed organ of the Parliamentary
opposition to a Ministry which is supposed to have
come into power under Sir James Hudson's aus-
pices; and yet this very opposition journal makes
it the subject of a grave charge against the Minis-
try that it did not employ its influence and efforts
with the English Government to retain as Minister
at Turin the foreign diplomatist whose counsels are
believed to have given it birth.

There is one point respecting the secrecy in which
the progress of the affair was veiled, to which I
think it right to refer. I believe Sir James was
so apprehensive that the Italians might express so
loud and so decided an opinion on the subject as
to have thrown obstacles in the way of his succes-
sor's nomination, that he actually bound down to
secrecy the persons, not more than one or two in
number, to whom he confided the circumstance of
the intended change.

The Italie, a recognised official organ, again com-
ments on the fact in the following terms

" Notwithstanding all that is said or done, the
sudden recall of the Minister of England, Sir
James Hudson, occupies all minds. The pret ext
about his age, &c., so complacently put forward
satisfies nobody; that is felt to be a mere not
d'ordre ; and besides, why should a recall founded
on such legitimate reasons have bur 4 upon the
world all at once, so unexpectedly, surprising alike
the Italian Government and public opinion. It is
quite possible that the honourable Minister of Eng.
land might have had the right to retire, but it is
equally probable that he would not have wished
to avail himself of that right; and his excellent
health, as well as his admirable aptitude for business,
could never have suggested an event which, if only
due to his reaching a certain term of years, would
long ago have certainly been announced. It is not
more natural to seek in an another quarter the ex-
planation of a fact which has justly called forth the
most contradictory comments, and does not the very
position of Sir James Hudson at Turin serve as a
guide to those who would scrutinise into the reasons
of his recall ? Sir James Hudson was already Minis.
ter of England when the heart of Italy beat only in
the breast of the small State of Piedmont ; he had
watched the new kingdom grow up beneath his
friendly glance ; he was so interested in its for-
tunes that he had come almost to look upon it as a
second country. Profoundly
14 years, the versed, during the last
which had su see)- of the different Cabinets
loved by t held power, esteemed and
wholebe-
society of Turin,
^..cessively
e
where the kind
manner of this grand seigneur had won for him
quite an exceptional position—the English Minister,
commanding all sympathies, possessed a political
influence which made the position here of the repre-
sentatives of other Powers extremely difficult, and
gave to his opinions, ripened as they were by expe-
rience, a preponderance which the other heads of the
diplomatic corps were forced vainly to envy. Hence,
little petty attacks and rivalries were unknown. It
was especially at the time of Count Cavour, whose
friend he was, and who often asked his advice, that
Sir .1. amen Hudson served efficiently cause of
that Italian unity to which he was so wholly de-
voted. In the matter of the annexation of the pro-
vinces, after the Treaty of Villafranca, he strongly
supported the views of Count Cavour, and thus
powerfully contributed to strengthen in Italy that
close union with England of which France at a
later period exaggerated the character. The friend
of Count Cavour naturally
drew near, after the
death of the great Minister,
to the Cabinet directed
by him whom Count Cavour himself on his death-
bed had designated as his successor, Baron Ricasoli,
and defended him until the hour of his fall ;
a fall
ascribed, not without reason, to the diplomatic ac-
tion of the Imperial Government.'
After proceeding further to trace the phases of
Sir James Hudson's influence at the Court of Turin,
the Italie reverts to the very natural comments
which his sudden recall has given rise to:—
" Are there not," it inquires, " concealed herein
tendencies alarming for Italy, and most apt to call
up doubts as to the dispositions of Italy in regard
to the national unity. The two camps into which
the English Cabinet is at present divided are com-
manded—the one by Lord Palmerston, the fervent
friend of Italy ; the other by Earl Russell, her luke-
warm partisan, not to say more. These forces stand
opposed to one another. Now, the recall of Sir
James Hudson is, perhaps, the affirmation of the
triumph of Earl Russell's policy,
of which the
Minister at Turin was reported to be by no means
a fervent admirer. Well, from Earl Russell Italy
certainly has not much to hope ; but what an advo-
cate and what a friend does she lose with the loss
of Sir James Hudson ! '

A DRAFT BuLL.—A laughable circumstance took
place in the Fourteenth Ward, Philadelphia, during
the drafting last week. Everything was going on quietly,
and good humour appeared to be depicted upon every coun-
tenance. Among the many hundreds that were there was a
pale-faced son of the Emerald Isle, gazing on the wheel, and
at every revolution gasping for breath. Of a sudden losing
all control of himself. he burst out, " Wherl it round ! whorl

The Supposed Murder at Margate.

A single woman, named Jane Cock, residing in
Princes-court, King-street, and of immoral charac-
ter, was drowned on Friday at Margate, and a
waiter at the Tivoli Gardens, named George Stead,
has been apprehended on suspicion of h eying caused
her death. At half-past two o'clock on Friday
morning the deceased was seen to go down the
jetty, and ten minutes afterwards she was ollowed
by Stead, and about ten minutes later a scream was
heard. The person who saw the parties was a
coastguard, who, on hearing the scream, proceeded
down the jetty, when he met Stead, who said the
deceased was in the water, that he had had hold of
her hand and tried to pull her out, but could not.
Assistance was then procured, a boat launched, and
a search made, the prisoner assisting, but nothing
could be seen of the deceased. The prisoner was at
this time much excited, and stated that he saw on
the jetty three women and a man, but no one had
been seen by the coastguard but Stead and the de-
ceased. This excited suspicion, and the prisoner was
accordingly taken into custody. When the prisoner
was taken before the justices at the Town-hall to
answer the charge, after some evidence was given, th e
following written statement of the prisoner was put
in and read :—" Margate, August 14. I am waiter at
Tivoli. About half-past one I was at Mr. Boat-
wright's. I left and went on the jetty. About half-
way down I sat on the jetty and smoked a cigar. I
saw one gentleman and three ladies. I fell off to
sleep, and was awoke by a cry for help. I then
called out and ran down to the end of the jetty.
Went down the steps and saw a female in the water
calling out for help. I endeavoured to pull her out,
but could not. I directed her to hold on while I
went to obtain assistance. I then called the coast-
guard, and assisted in launching a boat from the
beach. I went in the boat in search of her, but
could not find her. Had never seen the woman
before.—(Signed) GEORGE STEAD." The prisoner
signed that statement in the superintendent's pre-
sence. The Bench then consulted, and subsequently
remanded the prisoner, admitting him to bail of
£lOO, which the prisoner procured.
On Saturday last Mr. W. H. Payne, coroner, held
ar. inquest on the body. A good many witnesses
were examined, from whose evidence it appeared
that on Thursday night the deceased formed one of
a party at her nephew's, Henry Cock's, where a good
deal of beer and other drink was consumed. She
did not leave till about half-past one in the morning,
when she was a little intoxicated, but, as a witness
stated, quite capable of taking care of herself. She
was accompanied to within a short distance of her
house by a man named Wm. Lowrie and Margaret
Emptage, and when they left her they supposed
she was going home. This, however, did not prove
to be the case. At a quarter to two Thomas Read,
a coast guardsman, saw George Stead, the prisoner,
go down the jetty; ten minutes later the de-
ceased followed him, and ten minutes after that
a shrill voice was heard. This proved to be the
voice of the deceased, who was in the water at the
end of the jetty calling for help. The coastguards-
man at once proceeded towards the spot, and met
Stead, who was calling for the life-boat. The coast-
guard inquired of him what was the matter : and
he replied that a woman was in the water, that he
had had hold of her hand and tried to pull her out
but could not. Further assistance having arrived,
a boat was launched and search made; but nothing
could be seen of the body, and it was not found
until five o'clock, when it was seen floating on the
water. The principal circumstance that led to the
apprehension of Stead was that he stated there were
four persons on the jetty at the time, but the coast-
guard saw only the deceased and Stead. In giving
evidence, however, Stead said he met persons going
off the jetty as he went on. He also stated that he
was sitting smoking a cigar on the jetty, that he
fell asleep and was aroused by the screams of the
deceased. Mr. William H. Thornton, surgeon,
proved having examined the body of the deceased
externally, and the only marks of violence he found
thereon were some slight scratches, which might,
he said, have been caused by pieces of timber shout
the jetty. The jury returned a verdict—" That the
deceased was found drowned ; but there was no
evidence to show how she came in the water." At
the close of the inquest the prisoner Stead was
brought up on remand before the magistrates, on
the charge of having caused the death of the de-
ceased, when the verdict of the coroner's jury was
communicated to the Bench, who at once dischargd
the prisoner without a stain upon his character.

THE IMPERTAT4 FETES,

A letter from Paris, dated Sunday morning, says
—Yesterday was a great day for Paris. The Fete
Nip°limn is now quite re-established as an institu-
tion. Ninety-four years ago was born the greatest
Frenchman, or accepted Frenchman, of modern
days; he broke up Europe, and refashioned it after
his own designs ; he turned a respectable Corsican
family into a house of kings and queens—more or
less shortlived to be sure, but very brilliant while
they le.,terl—and raised his adopted country from a
republic to an empire. Since that time France has
gone through some strange vicissitudes of govern-
ment—imperial, monarchical, limited at least as to
endurance—imperial again, monarchical, republi-
can, and now she is once more under the imperial
sceptre—that sceptre, too, wielded in the name of
liberty and constitutional rule, rather, perhaps, a
la Francaise, by a scion of the house which first
raised France to the Imperial digeity. Under such
circumstances he would indeed he ungrateful who
should refuse to sing " Te Deum Laudarcus" for all
the benefits he and his country have been vouch-
safed, and therefore I was not astonished to see a
great crowd yesterday assembled i Notre Dame,
where the first act of the great festival 55 performed.
To be sure the cathedral was cool, a:.' that might
not have been without its effect on e hottest day I
ever remember in Europe. A ncavy lurid sky,
occasionally varied by gleams o intense sun-
shine, made a walk to Notre Dame no slight un-
dertaking, even when one walked under the
shade of tricoloured banners, and was enlivened on
the road by military bands. The gardens of the
Tuileries, though only exhibiting the shadow of
events to come in the shapo of the skeletons of illu-
minations, looked very pretty, the beautiful and
beautifully-preserved flower-beds harmonising ad-
mirably with the living parterre of gaily-dressed
people who were lounging about them. As we ap-
proached the bridge which leads to the old cathe-
dral, we fell into the line of officials, military and
civil, who were en route to assist at the religions

soldiers and two civilians, who bad shared the ex-
pense of a " remise ;" and, finally, M. Haussman,
whose motto is " Delenda est Carthage"—" Paris
must be pulled down or rebuilt"—the latter a cere-
mony not proposed in the original case—looking
discreet, dignified, and decorated. " Circulation"
was then prohibited in the great streets, as we ma-
nceuvred into Notre Dame by a side entrance. The
cathedral was densely packed with a motley
crowd of priests, soldiers, and civic authorities;
while outside were troops of cavalry and companies
of infantry drawn up before each of the doors—
chiefly, as it seemed to me, to get in the way of
those who wished to go in or out of the building.
The music was very fine, and the varying sunshine
and shade coming through the painted rose windows
were worth going to see, and even repaid you for a
crowd on a hot day. It is difficult to speak higher
of anything!

The ceremony was very soon over—indeed, we
could not even repeat poor Theodore Hook's joke
about the " tedeum"—and then everybody hurried
back to see the preparations for the night, or else
rushed off to the " gratis" performances at the
theatres, which began at 1 p.m. I shudder when
I recall the heat of those establishments ; but had
it been 10 times as great,they would have been quite
as crowded. Nothing so delights the Parisian as to
go " gratis" to the play,and the" Muette de Portici,"
"Le Postillion de Longumeau," " Celirnare," and
" Les Pilules du Diable," have never attracted a
better, more attentive, or more justly-critical audi-
ence than I hat which yesterday crowded the open
theatres. Telma used to say that the best critics
were the People of Paris, and the most appreciating
audience that which listened to him when played
at these national gratuitous representations. Every
performance closed with an appropriate hymn,
and then the crowd issued forth for further diver-
sion. The gardens of the Tuileries and the
Champs Elysees were like a fair from midday till
midnight. A dense crowd circulated—to use their
own expression—all day beneath the trees, which
were to bear such brilliant fruit at night. As we
wandered about among these thousands, it was im-
possible not to be struck with the idea that a great
rejoicing in Paris does not signify the general joy
of a nation, as such an event does in London.
There, on a great event everybody seems to take
part; the swell from his club, even if he professes
to ignore a national rejoicing—which is a mere
matter of fashion, depending on the then feelings
of youthful England—yet goes to seehow the event
comes off; but here, in all the dense crowd which
yesterday thronged the streets of Paris, you saw
nobody at all above the level of the shopkeeper.
Foreigners, of course, assisted at the fete. What
would any European fete be without their aid ?
But the native nobility kept itself safely at the
seaside.
Curious acquaintances turned up in the Champs
Elysees as we strolled down them. First, let us
say, a London lawyer passing himself o for a
lord ; then a lord, who lives so quietly that the
Parisians hardly take him for a gentleman, and
are inclined to think that his valet is after all the
" vrai Lord Anglais." Tnen we met a colonel,
who, when I saw him last, was only a cornet ;
and then a general, whom I recollect with no
other commission than that which he gained at
Newmarket. Thousands of strangers, but chiefly
from the provinces, had flocked into Paris, and
there was last night an absolute dearth of food in
the cheap restaurants. The consumption of beer
and light liquids—pink, flimsy-looking refresh-
ments, etirred with a spoon in a dusky glass, with
an opaque morsel of soi-disant ice—must have been
gcmething perfectly awful. Just as the crowd in
the Champ Elysees was at flood, there was a whis-
per that the Emperor and Emperor were driving
down the Rue de Rivoii. It was the Deus ex
machines—the one thing required—:ad the crowd
went off to receive them. In an open Carrin

think much of him!" was the opinion of a Briton
who kindly communicated his opinions to me in a
loud tone, and was evidently astonished that an
Emperor did not appear in purple and fine linen,
and with a circlet of gold on his Imperial brow.
After all it is very natural. Do not we all know
that picture of Napoleon I. in robes and palm
leaves—your classicel readers will be pleased to
remark that in this case " ho who deserved them,
bore them "—and do not we all believe that George
the Magnificent always sat nursing one knee and
looking over a collar of ermine, like they say somt
horses may do over a gate ? And then the gums
fired a royal ealute from the Invalides, and then
wieepeople,who were nearly as weary as wise, went
to dinner. The curtain fell on the first act. When
it rose again it displayed a fairy scene. In the
course of an active life your correspondent has seen
many rtes—has seen many cities illuminated, and
the general joy of many nations explode in that
final bouquet of fireworks. Experience records to
him nothing more beautiful than the walk last night
from the Palace of the Tuileries to the Rond Point,
which was the " omega " of the illuminations;
though the Arc de l'Etoile was lighted up, but only
