PARIS, Sept. 2.

His Majesty, accompanied by Count de Nieu-
werkerke, went on Thursday to the palace of In-
dustry and examined with the deepest interest the
magnificent display of works of art. The Emperor
was received at the principal entrance by M.
Guichard, the president of the Exhibition. His
Majesty was proceeding to pay for admission like a
private individual, when M. Guichard said, " Sire,
the doors are open to you." " No, Monsieur Pre-
sident," replied the Emperor, " I also must pass
through the tourniquet." His Majesty then
entered the nave and examined everything in
full detail, making purchases and dispensing
elogium. On coming to the works of ancient
art, and seeing the case where the arms belong-
ing to count de Nieuwerkerke are exhibited, the
Emperor offered spontaneously his own mag-
nificent collection, namely, at least 60 complete
cuirasses and a vast number of panoplies. This col-
lection, one of the finest in existence, will be shortly
exhibited in another room of the building.

THE BOGLE OF THE BROOK.--The new
.story by

the Hon. Mrs. Alfred Montgomery, under the title
of "Bucklyn Shaig, or the Bogle of the Brook," will be
published by Mr. Bentley in a few days. Throughout
Surrey and Sussex the Bucklyn Shaig is a well-known
goblin, believed in more or less by all the peasantry. At
West Grinstead Park the scene of this new story is laid.
The goblin, after crossing the brook sitting behind (en
troupe) with the unfortunate rider, disappears in the form.
of a black cat ; at Reigate he vanishes in the shape of a
shaggy dog ; and at Bucklyn itself, near Leith Hill, he
comes out like a very savage, long-haired wolf,' stopping
the waggoner's team, nor can the frightened horses be
induced to move. With such a theme the curiosity of the
reader will find ample room for speculation. The talent of
the fair author is well known. We expect a good story i 3
" Bucklyn Shaig."
" FINE" WRITERS RAPPED OVER THE KNuCELES
BY THE " SPECTATOR."—The style of " Our Special.
Correspondents" at this time of the year alters sensibly for
the worse, owing, we take it, to a relay of fresh hands,
whose eloquence is supposed to pass muster at a time when
no critical readers are to be found. Even the Times cor-
respondent at Portsmouth begins his letter in a well-known
formula, borrowed from Mr. G. P. R. James—" Just as the
setting sun last evening was lighting with its expiring rtlY°
the roadstead of Spithead, the officers of the French fleet
were being rowed to the Duke of Wellington, which is
lying inside Portsmouth harbour,"—the picturesque-histo-
rical. The holiday tourist at Frankfort is, however, even
worse. He becomes eloquent on a companion :—" 31Y
companion, gentle reader, was a gentleman, if 1 at all Imo*/
what ought to be understood by that appellation. The
perfect lines of his profile, the thin though not emaciated
face, the rich but smooth brown hair, the shaven chin, the
bushy whiskers, the small ear, the long white taper fingers,
the almond nails—all about him spoke of that blood which
gives in England a much surer patent of high descent than
any golden page in that sacred volume which the good
natured cynic, Thackeray, rather profanely calls 'the
British Bible.' " And he adds—" The word nice' seemed
to have been coined for his benefit, and he was evidently 9,
man whose keen senses are given to him rather for excru-
ciating pain than for exquisite pleasure,"—which is
mannor of writing surely very rarely to be found in the
Times, and rather in the rich pomatum style.
THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE BIRMINGHAM MEET'
ING OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION are now pretty
well made. The general President is Professor Job
Phillips. The Vice-Presidents are—the Earl of Lichfield,
Lord-Lieutenant of Staffordshire, the Earl of Dudley'
Lord Leigh, Lord-Lieutenant of Warwickshire, Lord
Lyttelton, Lord - Lieutenant of Worcestershire, Lord
Wrottesley, the Lord Bishop of Worcester, Messrs. C.
Adderley, W. Scholefield, J. T. Chance, A. F. Osier, and

—W. Spottiswoode, Esq. ; Professor W. A. Miller, Sit
R. 1. Murchison, Professor Acland, Sir Henry Rawl:nson,
Lord Stanley, and Sir W. G. Armstrong. The meeting
promises to bo a great success.
THE CIP.CASSIANS.—The emigration of the Cif;
cassian tribes continues unabated. Two thousant'..
Tchechers with their arms, horses, and cattle, have been re,
calved at Kars by the Turkish authorities, having be,,eo
0
conducted thither by Russian officers. The whole of
tribe, numbering some 60,000 souls, will, it is caper,
follow the same route, and be dispersed over the district
Mouch, Sirvas, and Diarbekir. The Kabardians have
Ile,
intimated their desire to emigrate, but the Porte has ref
rt
to their application that it cannot receive them before f?
year. Another tribe t
, the Abases, wish to return to lir!:
native mountains, and have requested the Turkish Gove.
ment to furnish them with vessels for the purpose. Ircii.os
have, however, been informed that they can either pro the
.
to Russia by land, or be distributed in the provinces
interior. The latest arrivals in Turkey make the t."'a;-„,
number of Circassian emigrants encamped on the Asi
shore of the Black Sea 1'12,000.
