DEATH OF THE ENGLISH CONSUL AT PARIS.—
Old residents in Paris who have left this modern
Babylon will share the regret of all those who remain here
at the death of Mr. Pickford, her Majesty's Consul Genera
in Paris. For a great many years Mr. Pickford had been
en rapport with all Anglo-Parisians, and his kindly manner
and readiness to oblige had made him a favourite among
the English colony here ; few men were more generally or
more deservedly popular; and his unvaried courtesy, and
if I may use the word—" accessibility"—were all the more
appreciated from this being the exception, and not the rule,
in the business departments of the embassy. Mr. Pickford
was only in his 71st year. He had long been a sufferer
from the disease which carried him off, but against which
he struggled manfully to the end ; only three weeks ago I
myself saw him, and though foreseeing his approaching
end, he told me he would like to die in harness. A report
is current in Paris that the appointment rendered vacant by
his death has been filled up beforehand by private arrange-
ment ; but I only mention it as an on dit, as I cannot pos-
sibly conceive it to be true, in these days of competitive
examinations, that ono of the first consular posts on the
continent should be the object of a glaring job. Intercourse
between Paris and England is so frequent at present that
the consular duties have acquired more importance than
they ever had ; and in spite of the current report, I cannot
believe that a post, which would require an experienced
veteran, will bo filled up by a raw consent. Perhaps before
Parliament breaks up, some inquisitive member, not afraid
of hurting the feelings of hon. members on the Treasury
bench, will endeavour to elicit some little information on
the Aubject.—The Paris Correspondent of the Standard.
