OBSERVATIONS.—.The long-continued cold and unsettled
weather in Paris, as well as in London, has occasioned the
elegantes of both capitals to be very backward in adopting the
usual light and elegant costume of the season ; and it may be
asserted that it is only at the evening parties that dresses are
generally worn of light materials. With us a certain gloom
has been cast over the gay scene by the mourning for the
Queen's mother; but in Paris, white muslin, tulle defil, plain,
or a point d'esprit, organdy embroidered and brochee are much
worn, the latter being much used for dancing dresses. A toi-
lette, composed of organdy brochee, in small coloured bouquets,
trimmed with a deep flounce, and with lace on the body and
sleeves, is more fashionable than a gauze or richer material.
A muslin dress, embroidered au plumetis in a running pattern,
was open at the side, and trimmed with a double row of Brus-
sels application, which was confined at five equal distances by
bows of white figured gauze riband ; the corsage and sleeves
trimmed with the same lace which fell over the sleeve so as to
meet the head of the manchette. A cap of point lace worn
quite at the back of the head, with a wreath of roses encircling
the cheeks, long lappets of point lace attached to the back of
the head, falling over the shoulders; a dress of organdy, sprigged
in small green branches ; a flounce festonne with green, headed
by a ruche formed of several small trimmings, festonne plain
body, trimmed with a rabat of lace; small sleeves, tight at the
top, and finished with two wide bias folds put on full, reaching
to the elbow, and raised in front by a bow of green riband.

On Monday afternoon the body of a female was
found dreadfully lacerated at the foot of Shakspcare's Cliff,
Dover. The corpse proved to be that of Mrs. Elwin, the wife
of a respectable tradesman, and connected with some of the
most esteemed families in Dover. Whether the unfortunate
deceased fell from the fearful height by accident, or whether,
in a state of aberration of intellect, she precipitated herself
from it, is uncertain.
A Portrait of Phosphorus, the winner of the Derby,
by Mr. Derring, will appear in Bell's Life in London, of Sun-
day, June 4, with a full report of Reigate Races. Price of
Bell's Life five pence. Office, 1.70, Strand, where may be had
copies of last Sunday's Journal, May 28, containing a pancra-
rule sketch and the fullest pee-ticulars of Epsom Races.
A singular discov':,ry has been made by pullin, down
a house situated at ehe corner of Watling-street, near Queen-
street. A nun-o'er of strongly built arches, which apparently
existed before the fire of London, have been found beneath
the foundation, on which ground the monastery of St. Augustir,
formerly stood. The arches arc quite perfect.
LORD BROUGUANI'S OPINIONS.—This work con-
sists of a selection from all the best things that have ever fallen
from the lips, or proceeded from the pen of Lord Brougham ;
we have, consequently, his Lordship presented to us in almost
an infinite variety of forms and substances. We have him as
a partisan, a politician, a political philosopher, a political econo-
mist, a traveller, a practical lawyer, a judge, a legislator, a
natural philosopher, a man of art and science, and above all—
with sorrow be- it spoken—a theologian and metaphysician.
His Lordshi.o exhibits immense talents in almost all these
varieties Of character. —Di.spatch. [To the volume is prefixed
a eepiems memoir of his Lordship's life, which will be read
much interest.l
We observe by the advertisement of the " Quar-
terly Journal of Agriculture and Prize Essays and Transac-
tions of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland,"
in our paper of this day, that the price has been reduced from
Six to Five Shillings a Number. This resolution of the pub-
lishers cannot fail to render the Journal still more acceptable
to our country retalers, high as its merits are already deservedly
esteemed by the landed interest in the sound practical know-
ledge whie ii it always conveys on farming subjects. The
following extract of a minute of a meeting of the Directors of
the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, held on
the 12th of May, exhibits that right spirit with which the Di-
rectors of that great institution always views auy attempt to
disseminate agricultural knowledge through the kingdom :
That it is only by due information regerding, the succession
of important subjects selected by the Committees for compe-
tition, and for the allotment of premiums, that the ultimate
object of the-Highland and Agricultural Society, of diffusing
sound practical agricultural knowledge, can be furthered, or
individuals made aware not only of what subjects have already
been treated of, but what still remains to be accomplished;
the directors unanimously and earnestly recommend the great
beaky of members constituting the Highland and Agricultural
Society of Scotland, to become subscribers to the publication
of the Prize Essays and Transactions, printed in conjunctioh
with the Quarterly Journal of Agriculture, the price of which
has now been reduced by the publishers, whose exertions and
attention well entitle them to the approbation of the Directors
and the support of the members of the Society."
CAPTAIN CHANIIER'S NEW NAVAL STORY,
" Tuts ARETTIUSA."-The lover of narratives of the sea will
find abundant matter of the most exciting kind in this new
novel by the popular author of " Ben Brace," such as frigate
actions, yard-arm, and yard-arm cuttings out ; storms and
shipwrecks ; the breathless interest of the chase ; the humours
of the cock-pit ; the rough revelry of a Saturday night at sea ;
the mad bewilderment and despair of a crew in a boat adrift,
and other incidents peculiar to a maratime life. All these are
given with unsurpassed power. The Ecencs on hoard the
Shark, a guard ship, at Port Royal, at Jamaica, when once
read, can never he effaced from the memory, neither will the
adventures in the African desert be easily forgotten. The
A rethusa, already sacred to song, will acquire an immense in-
crease of fame by the genius which has now bestowed perpe-
tuity on its renown in prose fiction.—Nacal and Military

MAURIAGE OF THE DUKE OF
ORLEANS,
-

FONTATNRPI.!nt nuenee.—The King rose this morning 1
with de.ylight, went over the entire of the Palace, and
with his own eyes that every thing,herlhee%:'l dl posed. agreeably
to his directions. His M.aB-et;tY -entered into the most trang
reieetiee k ieiree l'Xe necessary orders for the act:lin:iodation

arrived and been installed, 1)Id . .
st tk.iern travelled in Court
carriages, with ter's-elite th'essed in the Royal liVery, and of
course at the e!tpense of the Civil LiA. iha lee not as yet
seen any ei those distinguished indleiduals, but I am told that
.I,eussoUf Bey is of th'e. eernher.
At Li Wet-SA the drums of the National Guard weetrlireegh
the town beating to arms, and eneoenditir, re,Vin7 by the
King. an hour the retiree', 4 kh'e Netional (Guards,
con-
sisting of n CO et ate, erty, c-e efy, two of 'eitpetrre o)'er:es
(aretecti), eed the er.!.niaireler of grene'Clieree eoltigeurs, and
thassetire, Wes under arms, and e qner body of citizen soldiers
in pint of equipmeet, teeeearance, and discipline, Paris itself
could not turn. Their effective force is leetween 000 aed
1,000 teen, commanded mostly ley eMitle?rs of the Imperial army,
i and some even who hoe screed in the old guard. Their band,
too, is not of tve inferior order.
At I o'clock General Achard teele,out of the Palace with a
' de.achment of horse gendarmes, and proceeded in -all ',teem to
a camp, situate el; the entrance of the forest, ett the Paris road,
end celled out the battalion of the fitli Regiment of Light
Infantry. This battalion, which appears to have been made
up of the picked men of the regiment, is eneanTed on the
skills of t,:e forest at the extremity of the Roe de France, with
a company of artillery of the 2d Regiment, that had come in
from Vincennes with four pieces of cannon. In cite Ittetant
both those corps formed rn bataille, and the eth Regiment of
Hussars, SOO strong, shortly afterwards debauched on the little
plain, and drew up on the Nemours road. Thu National
Guard soon followed, the artillery marching fire% then the fire-
men, and afterwards the main body of the citizens. The whole
force was on the ground about ho'clock. At 3 o'clock his
Majesty made his appearance on horseback, accompanied by
l the Dukes de Nemours and Joieselle. The King was saluted
with acclamations as he treversed the town, and was equally
well received when he reached the temporary Champ de Mars,
where numbers or persons of all ranks and sexes had assembled
to witness the sight. The National Guard, of eoeree, occu-
pied the place of honour, and was reviewed the first ; Louis
Philippe then passed before the whole of the line, every-
where greeted with enthuelastic cheers. The Queen,
the Princess Adelaide, the Princesses Marie and Cle-
mentine, and the Duke of Aumale, dressed as a cannoneer, next
proceeded along the line, bowing to the right and left, and
acknowledging the greetings of the crowd. The king then
took his station under a large tree, etterollnded by his Etat
Major, and the whole of the troops and National Guards de-
filed before him in excellent order; after which the Royal fa-
mily returned to the Palace, accompanied by the multitude,
who were allowed to approach their persons so near that I
think the King shook hands with two or three. Everything
passed off very well, The two young Princesses were ex-
tremely cheerfel and amiable. Every one missed the Duke of
Orleans and the Queen of the Belgians, who, it seems, have
ginie to meet the Princess of Mecklenburg, who is to arrive
to-morrow evening. Upwards of 400 post horses went
threegh this morning to take their station on the Melun road,
the postillions with tricoloured favours in their glazed hats,
making a tremendous noise with their whips, and evidently not
all in their sillier senses.
This evening, a municipal officer in full costume, escorted
by six freemen, and preceded by two drummers, is going over
the town, stepping at every earrefaur to read the programme
of the rejoicings that are to take place on the occasion of the
happy union of Monseigneur the Duke of Orleans with the se-
renissime Princess of Mecklenburg. To-morrow there are to
be fireworks in the Parterre ; on Tuesday, spectacle gratis,
balls, and illuminations ; and the same on Wednesday. The
gala at the Chateau commenced this evening, and the band of
the 6th Regiment is now playing symphonies under the win-
dows of the King's dining-room.
The weather was beautiful throughout the whole of the day,
and the sun excessively warm. The trees are only beginning
to put out their leaves, and as yet afford no shade ; a few
days more of this temperature will do an immensity of good.
Vegetation has been thrown back a full month by the incle-
ment season.

The King end Royal Family eat down to dinner on Satur-
day, at half-past eight. A large party were invited. The
Prefect of the Seine and Marne sat at the right of the Queen ;
General Vattier, commanding the Department, by the side of
Madame Adelaide ; M. Dudouit, Mayor of Fontainebleau ;
Colonel Brack, of the 4th Hussars; the Lieutenant-Colonel,
the Commandant of the post of the National Guards. The
Military Intendant, and all the superior agents of the Civil
List residing at Fontainebleau were also among the company.
To-day his Majesty visited the apartments, to satisfy himself
that all his orders had been properly executed. All the per-
sons of the household of the King and the Princes who had
not accompanied them, arrived this afternoon. All the
town is in motion--the inns crowded to repletion—and, at
all points, he private houses filling--every tiling assumes
the appearance of a fete, and even the weather seems to
favour the solemnities in preparation. The Forest of Fon-
tainebleau touches the walls:of the town. A plot of waste
ground, covered with rubbish, was levelled as smooth as an
avenue in the Bois de Boulogne, or an alley in the garden of
the Tuileries. The camp was formed. The soldiers had
brought green sward, and created quite an artificial vegeta-
tion. Behind are the tents of the soldiers, and farther back
those of the officers. All the art of Vauban and of Carnot is
here parodied in miniature, the height of the fortifications, in-
cluding the depth of the trenches, is about three feet. The
coup d'sil is curious.

There was on both the roads a want of post-horses yester-
day to convey persons to Fontainebleau. They were obliged
to have their names inscribed, and wait their turn.
The Journal de Paris contains the following :—" Before
leaving the tents on the frontier where the Princess Helena
assumed her new title of a French woman, her Royal High-
ness gave to the Mayor of Forbach 500 francs to be distri-
buted among the poor ; and 500 francs for the Sisters of Pro-
vidence. The Princess also presented jewels to the two young
ladies of Forbach and Sarraguemines selected to address her,
and to the officer of engineers who erected the tents. She
likewise caused 1,000 francs to be distributed amongst the
sappers. The Prefect received 4,000 francs to open accounts
at the Savings' Bank in the name of those daughters of work-
men who most distinguished thettselves in their schools."
The Duke de Saxo Weimar, uncle to the Princess Helena,
accompanied his niece to the French frontier. Their part-
ing was an affecting scene. The Grand Duke twice em-
braced his niece, saying ; " Adieu, my beloved niece !
Henceforth you are a Frenchwoman ; but you will be worthy
your new country." All present, as well as the parties, were
in tears.

Tim PttINCESS HELENA AT METZ. The spot upon which
she entered France being marked by a triumphal arch erected
for the occasion, surmounted a monogram of the names of
Helena and Ferdinand. The arch was surrounded by tents,
and these, with a strong muster of the National Guards of
Forbach, and other towns in the vicinity, with large detach-
ments of cavalry, infantry, and artillery, who crowned the
neighbouring heights, presented a magnificent coup d'ccil to
the eye of the illustrious strangers, the effect of which was
greatly increased by the acclamations of the assembled c,-owds,
whose numbers amounted to 20,000, and who rent the air
with joyous shouts of welcome. A number of young ladies
had here the honour to compliment her Royal Highness, and
to present her with a wreath of flowers. The Duke of Choi-
seul, General Gourgaud, and General Jacqueminot, the
Royal Commissioners appointed to receive the Princess, were
here ir.t oduced to her by the Duke of Broglie, and were most
graciously received by the royal travellers, who seemed both
gratified and affected by the warmth of their reception. Her
Royal Highness is of the middle stature, with highly agree-
able—not to say beautiful—features ; they are fair, and beam
with gentle kindness and sensibility. In a word, she is one
of those whom it is impossible to look upon without conceiving
a favourable impression at the very first glance.
A tiiumplial arch was erected a short distance from the gate
of the city at which the Princess was to enter, and near this a
large tent fcr the authorities of the town. It was nearly five
o'clock when the signal announced the approach of the Prin-
cesi. On arriving at the tent she alighted from her carriage,
and was received by the civil and military authorities. There
was no tedious speechifying on this occasion, as a hint, friendly
as it was wise, had been previously given by a high authority
that it had better be dispensed with. The Princess seemed
much pleased with an offering that was made her by some
little children belonging to an institution, being a portrait of
the Duke of (Means; she had it placed before her in the open
c.7.leche, which she now mounted to make her entry into the
town.. After the fire-works there was a concert on the river
at the back of the prefecture, whilst, in front, she beheld the
loft• spire and delicate pinnacles of the cathedral illuminated.
Besides giving 600 fr. to the artificers of the Pyrotechnic
school, she distributed 4,000 fr. among some charitable insti-
tutions.

On Saturday, at half-past 11, the_King held a Council of
Ministers, which sat till two. At a quarter before four, the
King and Queen, the Queen of the Belgians, and all the Royal
Family, took their departure from the Tuileries, for Fontain-
bleau. His Majesty found the National Guard of Villejuif
under arms on his passage ; all the inhabitants of the communes
through which the carriages passed hailed his Majesty and the
Royal Family with the warmest acclamations. These manifes-
tations were stronger when their Majesties reached Fontain-
bleau, where all the windows were hung with tricoloured flogs.
Cries of " Vive le Roi !" did not cease until the moment when
the Royal Family entered the Palace.
_ _ _

The Duke of Orleans left on Saturday morning for Chalons.
sur. Marne. He was to stop for the night one stage on this side
of the town, and would visit the Grand Duchess Dowager of
Mecklenburg and the Princess Helena, who were to arrive at
Chalons on Saturday evening. His Royal Highness, on taking
leave of the Princesses, would proceed to Fontainbleau.
Extract of a letter from Frankfort, dated 24th inst. —" All
who have had the honour of an audience of the Princess He-
lena are charmed with the kind and gracious affability of her
language. One of them, speaking of the beauties which are
found in the environs of Paris, observed that possibly her
Royal Highness, on her arrival at Fontainbleau, would lose
her regrets at quitting the shady groves of Ludwigslust.
Oh replied tho Princess, I am prepared to admire and
love everything I find in France.' To another she said,
experience deep emotion when I reflect on my new destiny ;
but, to console me, I rely upon the goodness of the Royal
Family, and the love of the people of France.' At Hesse the
Landgrave was waiting to receive her Royal Highness. The.
Duke de Broglie, with the French envoys, were lodged at thQ
castle of Wilhelmsbade, about a quarter of a league from
nau, which the Princess reached yesterday morning. flc,re
she was received by the Duke and his suite, who went out lon

and executed with egn'al perfection. Two children, imbedded
in garlands of nowers and foliage, compose the ornaments of

box is to be npaed, have a beautiful effect. In the centre of
etch of the too largest panels is an escutcheon with the ciphers
interwined of the Prinen anti his Royal bride, and the stand,
of boldly-eha:-ted lions' claws, completes this splendid piece of
workmanship.
A meeting of the tlerniaris resident in Paris is proposed to
be held at the Manegc Central, No. 113, Rue Montmartre,
to-morrow, at seven o'clock in the evening, to forma commis-
sion, to be charged with presenting to the Princess Helena
their congratulation on her arrival in the capital.
