The fashionable Sunday promenade of the Re-
gcra'3-p: irk Zoological Gardens is likely to be more crowded
than ever this summer ; it is the intention of some of the
leading; Members to propose the admission of visitors by
tickets .on that day, without the introduction of a Member,
the siessre as during the week. Such an arrangement is likely
to res'irre these gardens to their former estimation for beauty
and fas Pion, and will greatly increase the funds of the Zoolo-
gical .....'society.
NAPOLEON AND PRINCE ESTERIIAZY.—After
the faun' battle of Austerlitz Austria lay prostrate at the feet
of the :modern Attila, and Napoleon had thought of erecting
Hungary. into a separate kingdom. It struck him he could
:not alight upon a Sovereign more likely to be acceptable to
time IluAgarians, and who would possess more power of his
cwn, then the head of the great house of Galantha, the
father of the present Prince Estochazy. The offer was re-
jected by the father as well as by the son, and Buonaparte,
taking the latter prisoner when he made himself master of
Vienna, tlzrew the young Prince into prison, to punish him for
Ins contumacy. When he had remained there some time, and
hig physical, and moral strength were supposed to have given
way, and itfras thought he could no longer resist the tempta-
tions of Ebert, and dominion, he was sent for in the middle
of the .night, aod brought from the darkness of his dungeon
into the brilliant; atmosphere of the Conqueror's Court. But
neither the tempts:6°n nor the fascination of Napoleon's eagle
eve, nor the fear v consequences, could move the loyal and
youthful Prince, trod lie was thrown again into prison. There
he remained until Napetben's great soul, touched with adrni-
Vn and pity, realenstlhien.
RIGHT esi? PF.Trrtolsr.--It cannot be denied that
the order passed through the House towards the close of last
Session, restricting the time of receiving, petitions private and
public to half an hour only per day, was an interference with
1.1.1. e right of petition. A rember may have a petition, and
ek in vain to present it for days—nay, for several weeks ; and
wh en at length the opportunity offers, he is not at liberty to say
a s vilabic in support, nor—according to the dictum of the
Spea ker—ev en to mention the name of the place from wbieh
the p, itition comes ; but the petitiou, as was described by tike
Hon. Member for Hull, is " huddled into a bag sNitli less
cerem tiny than attends the burial of a dead kitten." We are
not in eiisposed to deny the advantages of an economical appro-
priatic is of the time of the House ; but we see no reason
whate ve'r why Hon. Members should indulge in rhetorical
exhib:dions for whole hours together, and yet refuse to the
peop to The fair and proper exercise of their undoubted right
to p. !titian Parliament. We suspect that the Order in clues-
ion has other conveniences more precious to ofticial and aris-
ocra ',teal Dredileetions than that of saving an hour or two.
