PARIS INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.—The edifice in the
Champs Elysees, preparing for the Exposition of next
year, is now in a state that some opii ioa may be formed
of its effects, proportions, and distribution. The leading
idea appears to be a vast oblong central hall, since,
though the side galleries and double aisles are wide, and
the former are abundant in the amount of spaCe they
provide, by the nature of the composition they are so
shut off from the central portion hs in no point of view
to be commanded by the eye in conjunction with it. The
separation is on the lower story further aided,by the
heaviness of the iron work, which, unless it be decorated
with remarkable skill, bids fair to produce the effect of
a wilderness of columns and cross-beams in deep shadow
—so intricate as to destroy all intimation of the area be-
twixt them and the outer wall. Then, the distribution
of light and shade -or, to speak more exactly, of glare
and gloom—may offer difficulties of detail which it will
require as much ingenuity as foresight to cope with. In
the central hall—although it is to be glazed with ground
glass—the affluence of daylight and sunshine may be-
come dazzling. In the side aisles, on the ground floor,
light is so sparingly admitted that subdivision will be
almost impossible in anything higher than dwarf parti-
tions. To eyes accustomed to the Crystal Palaces at
Knightsbridge and Sydenham, the central hail of the Pa-
risian building will seem deficient in height—while the
curves of the iron work in the roof, when viewed in cer-
tain positions, have an appearance which is more singu-
lar than satisfactory to the unscientific eye. The outer
eelffeevrastin of the building,loessinatterferd which is solid stone-work,
and handsome.—Athenceum.

THE WHALE FISHERY.—During the past week we
have had three or four arrivals from the Arctic regions.
They confirm in a measure the reports formerly oircu-
lated, and supplement the news from that quarter by
stating that " there have been only six fish caught in
the country up to the time of their departure." Some
of the poor fellows are in a sad plight, having parts of
their fingers, toes, and ears frost-bitten—John o'Groat
Journal.

LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND.—BT AGNES
STRICKLAND. Cheap Edition, Vols. 7 and B.—" These
two volumes, which are the concluding ones of Miss
Strickland's work, contain the Lives of Mary 11. and of
Queen Anne—thus embracing, perhaps, at once the most
interesting portion of British history, and the most in-
teresting personages in the whole of this splendid regnal
gallery. The whole work has been characterised as
uniting the fidelity of history with the fascination of the
most engaging romance ; and no portion of it—attrac-
tive as every volume is—is a better manifestation of this
than the section of it now before us. It is pleasing to
find now concluded so beautiful an edition of a work of
such sterling merit. The Lives of the Queens is a stan-
dard historical book."—Caledonian Mercury.
