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
aust.ended for that purpose. The object of the Bill is
to constitute the fraudul.>nt use of the medals by non-exhi-
bitors and o hers who have not received awards from her
Majesty's commissioner; a misdemeanour under the new
Merchandise Maras Act, 1862. It is anticipated that a
measure of such vast commercial importance will have
nnan mous support in both houses of Parliament.
THE EMPRESS EUGENIE AND THE EMPEROR
NAPOLEON.—The Empress, says the Lady's News
paper, gave afete the other afternoon at Villeneuve I'E tang
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 moon, by elec-
tric light ; but the orders for the fete hay, 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. Fould, the Price
de la Moskowe, Prince Joachim Murat, the fount and
Countess de Litta, and a great many personages of high
rank and station. The Emperor, as usual, inspects the
new promenades and improvements going on by his
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 Guardjare in attendance on his Msjesry,
and form a camp near the chalets occupied by the Em-
peror and hie suite Some theatrical representatious took
place the other evening, at which the Emperor and his
guests were present ; and he is mentioned in a pr.vate letter
irJui Vichy, as devoting many of his leisure hours to the
correction of the last proof sheets of the first volume of his
" Life of Caesar." M. Plon, the prin. er, is at present there,
and it is supposed brought hie Majesty the proofs to be
correc'ed by his own hand.

PRINCE NICHOLAS OF OLDENEURG.---Tiois young
prince, who lately ranken es aojuiunt to the Enig
peror of Russia, and is "proprietor" of she hum regiment
of dragoons of the Crown Prince of Prussia, has, 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 she
sick list, but is on a joutney with his young wife, a Miss
or Praulein Bulard, so whom h- was married in the greatest
