Tuileries, where there will be a grand ball in the
evening for the introduction of the new Empress.
It is understood that on the occasion of the mar-
riage there will be an amnesty, though not . a
general one ; while to show the peaceful desires of
the Emperor, a further reduction of the army is
also to take place. The amnesty will apply prin-
cipally to the exiled generals and M. Baze, and
also to the persons condemned at Bourges and Ver-
sailles. The consequence will be that MM. Ledru-
Rollin, Caussidiere, Louis Blanc, &c., will be
enabled to return to France ; but the persons sent
to Lambessa and Cayenne, for the part which they
took in the insurrections after the coup d'etat of
December, will not be included in it.
The Bourse opened yesterday with a decided
tendency to a rise in the price of public securities.
Some statements made by certain influential spe-
culators assisted in restoring the feeling of confi-
dence which has been shaken within the last few
days.- It was said that the budget to be laid before
the corps legislatif would be made to present an
equilibrium between the revenue and the expendi-
ture. It was likewise said, for the third or fourth
time, , that a decree would appear in the Monitcur
immediately after the Emperor's marriage,
making a further reduction in the army. The
Three per Cents. opened at 80f. 30c., and rose to
80f. 40f., but on a report that a division of heavy
cavalry was being assembled at Luneville, they fall
to 80f. 10c., and closed at 80f. 25c. for the end of
the month, being a rise of 60c. as compared with
the closing price of Tuesday. The Four-and-a-
Half per Cents. closed at 105 f. ; Orleans Railway
shares, 997 f. 50c. ; Havre, 40f. ; Bale, 345 f.
Great Northern, 8311 25c. ; Paris and Strasburg,
760 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 860 f. ; Lyons and the
Mediterranean, 727 f. 50c.; Western of France, 670 f.;
Caen to Cherbourg, 607 f. 50c. ; Bordeaux and Cette,
560 f. • shares of the Bank of Credit Mobilier (issued
at 50df.), 737 f. 50c. .

' It appears that the principal charge against him
was his reading Diodai's translation of the Bible in
company with other persons. On the following
day, M. Brofferio, the leader of the left in the
Piedmontese Chamber, announced his intention of
addressing a question on the subject to the Presi-
dent of the Council, and the 25th inst. was fixed
for the purpose. We now see in the Parlemento of
the 23d, that the Government intends to grant Dr.
Mazzinghi a full pardon, on the ground that the
condemnation is in accordance with old laws still
in existence on matters of religion, and which are
confessedly, not in accordance with the present state
of things ; the Chamber having on two occasions,
since 1846, declared its intention of revising them.

details of his biography. The article is one of uni-
versal attraction ; and we can, therefore, with more
than ordinary confidence in having our recommen-
dation followed, urge its perusal upon the public,
as calculated to impart a surprising amount of valu-
able and curiously-combined information. Occa-
sionally there are remarks in the course of the
article with which we ourselves cannot in the
smallest degree sympathise ; but in the main the
effusion is one reflective and reverent in its charac-
ter. One observation of the critic in reference to
the death of St. Paul is remarkable, as coming from
this authority, namely, the remark that, "gathering
the evidence (of that event) for ourselves, we may
safely assume that he died by martyrdom, and pos-
sibly at Rome." Another contribution of a very
different nature refers to " Our Indian Army ;"
and a seventh to " Jervis's History of the Islan
of Corfu and the lonian Islands." Upon the re-
maining articles not yet mentioned in the present
notice—namely, one upon the " Hungarian Revo-
lution," and another upon " The Fall of the Derby
Ministry " -2- we have already (in our leading
columns) commented.

SHEERNESS, JAN. 25.
The Archer, 14, screw steam-sloop, Commander James
N. Strange, arrived here at about 8.30 a.m., this day,
from Falmouth, with volunteers for this navy, &c. She
saluted the flag while passing through the harbour ; and,
after sending volunteers on beard the flag-ship Waterloo,
proceeded up to Saltpan-reach, to the coal depot Forti•
tude, to coal. The destination of the Archer, on her
departure, will be the North Sea.
The Barracouta, 6, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Com-
mander George Parker, left here to-day with the Ports-
mouth division of marines and seamen from the Phaeton,
for Portsmouth and Devonport. The Barracouta will
return here again immediately to finish her equipment.
The Phaeton, 50, gun-frigate, has this day been paid
off in the basin, and, to the credit of the discipline of this
ship, they were paid off in the highest order and sobriety.
Among the entire ship's company there was not a single
case of drunkenness, or even what might be construed
"half-seas over." Each man made his remittance for his
place of residence for the next six weeks or two months,
previous to again joining the navy. On paying off this
frigate, Captain Charles Hope, R.N., Superintendent of
her Majesty's Dockyard here, highly complimented Cap-
tain George Elliot and First-Lieutenant Matthew Con-
nelly, on the high state of discipline attained in the ship,
and most particularly on the good feeling exhibited by
the crew on paying off towards their officers, which clearly
showed, on the part of the ship's company, on their de-
parture, that they were leaving officers under whom they
would be ready to serve again, should the country re-
quire their services afloat.
The Rattlesnake sloop, Commander Henry Trollope.
—The fixed apparatus for diffusing the hot air through
the maindeck of this sloop is nearly completed. The
space to be acted upon by the apparatus is nearly 24,000
cubit feet, and such is its power that the temperature
can be raised from 15 to 20 below zero to 52 deg. Fah-
renheit. All the Arctic ships, including Sir John Frank-
lin's expedition, have been supplied by the same firm,
Messrs. Sylvester and Co. The apparatus will be tested
previous to her leaving the basin.

CHATHAM, JAN. 26.
The Imp6rieuse, 50, screw steam-frigate, Captain R.
B. Watson, C. 8., is daily increasing the number of men
required to man the ship, and has now more than half
her complement on board. The weather for the
last few days having ,been more favourable her
main hold has been partially stowed and her cables
taken on board and stowed, and her store-rooms
have been fitted. The bowsprit has been rigged and
the jibboom pointed, and the main and mizen masts
will be rigged this evening. The construction of the
ship has given great satisfaction to all on board ; her
" limbers" are commodious, and ample space has been
allowed for thoroughly cleaning them—a matter of vast
consequence in a sanitary point of view. The easy access
which can be had to every part of the bilges affords the
means of having them perfectly cleaned out when neces-
sary. Captain Watson and the officers of the Imp -
rieuse are constant in their personal superintendence of
the fittings of the frigate, and pay the greatest attention
to having every chip of wood and particle of waste ma-
terial removed previous to storing the tanks and other
things.

, JAN. 26.
The Resistance troop-ship,WOOLWICH Master-Comm ander Brad-
shaw, embarked detachments of the Royal Artillery and
of the 16th Regiment of Foot to-day for a passage to
Jamaica, to fill up the companies of Royal Artillery and
the head-quarters of the 16th Regiment, at that station.
The crew of the Dover steam-vessel, brought to this
country by natives of Africa—the black seamen being
engaged at 21. 10s. per month,—were paid four months'
wages on Tuesday, and most of them had to take from
10/. to 121. each. The Rev. J. C. Connolly, Chaplain
of the Fisgard, the Rev. Mr. Petrie, and Mr. M. Gold-
smith, who have taken so much interest in the crew of
the Dover, met them yesterday evening in the school-
room, and the Rev. Mr. Petrie, who had been many
years on the coast of Africa, delivered a lecture to them
on the Christian religion. The natives of Africa will
embark at Woolwich to-morrow on board the Faith
screw steamer, and proceed in her to Plymouth, where
they are to embark in the African mail steamer and pro-
ceed direct to the Gambia. Mr. Sydencombe, Master's
Assistant in the Black Eagle, will return to that vessel
after having been in charge of the Africans, who were
accommodated on board the Lucifer steam-vessel since
the 15th of November last.

The Quarterly Review. No. CiA`KXRIII.

The biographical articles are the most attractive
in the current number of the Quarterly. Of the
political essay, relating to " The Budget and its
Results," we have already spoken in our leading
columns—reprehending in our character as Liberals,
and therefore as impartial spectators, the ingrati-
tude evinced by our old Tory contemporary to-
wards the late gifted and brilliant Chancellor of
the Exchequer. Reflection only confirms us in our
first impression, •that the attack on Mr. Disraeli
originated in motives of a personal rather than of a
public character. The community will remember,
therefore, upon this as upon every similar occasion,
that the acrimonymust be seasoned or rendered
palatable cum grafto salis. A very curious paper
is given this quarter upon the subject of " Shooting
Stars, Meteors, and Aerolites." In the course
of his ingenious dissertation the reviewer
might have quelied, not without profit—
for there is poetry, if not philosophy, in the verses
—that exquisite chanson of Beranger, the refrain,
of which runs (as most of his do) so musically :
" C'est une etoile qui file, qui file,
File et disparait."

The paper on the " Vauxhall Factory Schools,"
suggested by the Special Report of the Directors
to the proprietors of Price's Patent Candle Com-
pany, is scarcely less a curiosity. It will be read,
however, with advantage—uninviting though it
may appear in subject—stored as it is throughout
with information. A remarkable contribution is
given in the Quarterly upon our system of " Indian
Administration." In the very exordium of the
article devoted to the consideration of the " Count
de Montalembert on Catholic Interests"—it is said
of him by the Quarterly Reviewer that he is " a
man who, alike by his genius and his virtues, does
honour to his order, his country, and his Church."
A magnificent eulogium, but an eulogium eminently
well deserved. Very many thousands of the more
intelligent part of the community will peruse with
interest the elaborate paper on the " British Mu-
seum "—of all, the noblest of our national institu-
tions. The biographical essays already alluded to
as giving colour to the present number of the
Quarterly—have reference, one to the " Life and
Letters of Mr. Justice Story," another to the
" Cloister Life of Charles V.," and a third to the
"Memoirs of Wordsworth"—all of them admirably
appreciative, more particularly the one referring to
the late Poet Laureate. It is absolutely refreshing
—we acknowledge it at once—it is absolutely re-
freshing after so much maudlin homage to an in-
tellect that its worshippers ranked scarcely one
degree below that of Shakspere—yes, we repeat it
again and again, it is absolutely refreshing to find
the Quarterly, when speaking of Wordsworth in
reference to the last age, "so prolific in distin-
guished poets," manfully " dissenting from the pre-
diction, that posterity will allot him the highest place
in the brotherhood." We go with the reviewer heart
and soul in this--such having for a very long period
been cur calm and implicit conviction. Previous
to the foregoing remark, the writer has observed of
Wordsworth, "In the species of diction where
he had no precursor, he is never likely to have any.
successor." To which we respond with all the fer-
vour that human lips can express—thank God
And so end we our condensed notice of the Quar-
terlies.

THE DUBLIN EXHIBITION.—BERLIN, JAN. 21—The
Dublin Industrial Exhibition of this year will receive a
most valuable contribution from Prussia. The inde-
fatigable agent of this undertaking here has succeeded in

and other artistes of Prussiea, which,

fire and grandeur, and, at the sane time, lightness and
elegance of this group (fourteen feet high), are only to be
appreciated on seeing the work itself. The Directors of
the liamburgh Railway have conceded to the personal
representatives of the agent a reduction in the freight of
all works of art destined for the Dublin Forhibition—an
accommodation and facility which has been denied to
