OPENING OF A BRANCH OF THE
FRENCH GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.
PARIS, MONDAY MORNlNG.—Yesterday a small por-
tion of the Creil and St. Quentin branch of the Northern
Railway. extending from Compiegne to Noyon, in the
department of the Oise, was opened to the public. The
section added on this occasion to the railway communi-
cations of France is so very trifling—being only six
leagues, that it would hardly be worthy of even a passing
notice, were it not for the extraordinary solemnity with
which the inauguration was performed. Being the first
piece of railway opened for the public service since the
election of Prince Louis Napoleon as President of the
Republic, Baron James de Rothschild and the other
directors of the Northern Railway determined that pub-
lic rejoicings should take place, and that they should
invite the President himself to honour them with his
presence on the occasion. The President at once ex-
pressed his readiness to accept the invitation, and
preparations were accordingly made to give him a
reception suitable to his high rank. Notice was sent
to the prefects of the different departments and to the
mayors of the towns and villages along the line, in order
that they might be ready to do honour to the President
as he passed, and to give the troops and National Guards
an opportunity of turning out, as is usual when the head,
of the State visits the provinces. The corporation of
the town of Noyon took the opportunity of inviting the
Prince and the railway directors to a public breakfast,
and placed a great number of invitations at the disposal
of the directors, for distribution among the members of
the Government, the members of the National Assem-
bly, and the chiefs of the financial and railway world.
The party which. left Paris, consisting of about 150
guests, left the embarcadere of the Northern Railway at
eight o'clock. Prince Louis Napoleon, who arrived a
few minutes previously, attended by,his aides-de-camp
and orderly officer, was dressed in the undress uniform
of a General of the National Guard, with a simple kafi
on his head. He was accompanied by two of his Mi-
nisters, M. Odilon Barrot, President of the Council; and
M. Lacrosse,. Minister of Public Works. There were
also present the Baron James de Rothschild, the Duke
de Mouchy, M. Emile Pereire, M. Boulaye, the Secre-
tary- General of that department; M. Binesu, represen-
tative of the people and Engineer-in-Chief of Mines; M.
Dulon, the secretary of the company; MM. Wolowski,
Lherbette, Lefranc, Heckereen, de Breville, Dufaure,
Languinas, Rivet, St. Beuve, and several other repre-
sentatives, M. Charles Lsffitte, M. Blount, M. Thibau-
dean, &c., &c.
As the train passed rapidly along, the authorities and
National Guards of St. Denis, Ponthoise, and Creil, were
found drawn up to receive the Prince, but the train did
not stop till it reached Compitigne, where the Prince dis-
mounted and passed the National Guard in review, and
received addresses from the prefect of the department in
the name of the magistracy, and from the mayor at the
head of a deputation of the inhabitants of the place. On
the arrival of the train at Noyon, it was found that the
inhabitants of that ancient city were prepared with a
brilliant reception. The authorities of the town and of
the neighbouring communes, the Bishop of Beauvais in
full canonicals, and at the head of his clergy, several re-
giments of infantry and dragoons, a squadron of Gen-
darmerie ICheval, two companies of artillery, and
several thousands of the National Guards, were ready
to receive the President of the Republic with the cere-
monies usual on such occasions. A magnificent estrade
had been erected, upon which the bishop and clergy
performed the ceremony of blessing the new under-
taking. Triumphal arches, composed of evergreens,
had been erected, and the houses were hung with a pro-
fusion of tricoloured flags. The Prince on alighting
was received with the most enthusiastic cries of "Vive
Napoleon," "Vive la R4publique," and occasional cries
of "Vivo l'Empereur." After the habituLl exchange of
speeches, the President mounted on horseback, and re-
viewed the National Guards and the troops. He was
received by all of them with the utmost cordiality. Ac-
companied by the Mayor and the other authorities, the
Prince then proceeded, amidst the buzzes of the multi-
tude, into the town, and went to the Hotel de Ville,
where a dejeuner had been prepared for the guests. No
expense had been spared by the town of Noyon in
making the banquet splendid. Upwards of 300 guests
sat down to table, the Prince presiding, and being sup-
ported on the one hand by the Bishop of Beauvais, and
on the other by the Baron James de Rothschild. Only
one toast was proposed, namely, that of the health of
the President of the Republic. It was proposed by the
Mayor of Noyon. Is doing so, he said that he had
only to point to the fact, that the President had been
elected to that high office by universal suffrage,
and by the votes of upwards of six millions of his
fellow-citizens, to show how deeply he himself and
the glorious name which he had inherited was rooted in
the affections of the people of France. He trusted that
that election would have the effect which the people ex-
pected from it; that it would tend to bind Frenchmen
together in unity and affection, and that it would speedily
restore France to confidence, and by confidence to that
prosperity of which she stood so much in need. He
called on the company to join him in drinking to the
health of the President. This short speech was re-
ceived with a salvo of applause, and cries of " Vive
Napoleon."
The President of the Republic immediately rose to
return thanks. He said that he fondly trusted that the
hopes of returning prosperity, as the result of his being
called on to preside over this great Republic, would be
fulfilled. He had been elected to protect the Republic,
and he was determined to do so. The Republic was
neutral ground upon which all the parties which tor the
last forty years had torn and distracted France could
meet in unison. He hoped that they would now lay
aside their differences, and join heart and hand in pro-
moting the stability of the Government and the pros-
perity of the country.
Loud cheering followed this speech, which was most
favourably received, especially in the part where he
spoke of the "neutral ground, and counselled concilia-
tion." Immediately afterwards the President, who, ap-
parently in imitation of the ancient kings, seemedP to
think that .when he was present no health should be
drunk but his own, immediately rose and left the table,
followed by the other gueks, many of whom were exces-
sively disappointed to find that they were allowed so
short a time to enjoy the good things provided for them.
After the banquet a curious circumstance occurred.
The Mayor of 118,m (in the castle of which place it will
be recollected that Prince Louis Napoleon was confined
for seven years, for his escapade at Boulogne) arrived
accompanied by a deputation of the inhabitants of the
town, with an address to the President, and an earnest
request that he should pay them a visit, as the distance
was only a few miles. The Prince was exceedingly in-
clined to accept the invitation, but M. Odilon Barrot
dissuaded him from it. The fact was that there were a
great number of prisoners in the chateau of Ham, and
the Prince could hardly visit his fellow-prisoners with-
out setting them all at liberty.
After the banquet the President, accompanied by the
mayor and a great number of guests, visited the magni-
ficent old cathedral of the place, which was formerly the
seat of a bishopric. He also visited the house in which
the celebrated reformer Calvin was born—a relic of an-
tiquity which is not quite as well preserved by the inha-
bitants as it deserves to be. The party then went to the
railway station, where, the train being, ready, it was re-
solved to start at once for Compiegne. As the start had
been announced for half an hour later, the consequence
was that nearly 50 of the guests were, much to their
chagrin, left behind.
At Compiegne the President stopped for a short time
to visit the magnificent chateau. It was here, it will be
remembered, that Napoleon-received the Empress Maria
Louisa. The grand gallery, erected by the Emperor, is
a magnificent structure, upwards of 100 feet in length,
40 in breadth, and of proportional height. This
splendid apartment was hastily fitted up for the re-
ception of the President. The furniture of the time of
the Empire had been carefully replaced, so that' it
looked precisely what it was when last visited by
Napoleon. The servants were all dressed in the liveries
of that period, and many of them were the same persons
who attended on the Emperor when, for the first time,
he saw his consort. It must have been a proud moment
for Prince Louis Napoleon, when surrounded by his
staff, his Ministers, a crowd of the representatives, and
most important personages in France, and standing on
the steps of the Throne, which has been the dream of
his life, ho received an address from the Mayor and Cor-
poration of the town of Compeigne, which hardly dis-
guised the wish that he might soon re-ascend that
Throne. How sweetly the cry of " Vivo Napoleon,*
which he heard on all sides addressed to himself, must
have sounded in his ears. Perhaps, too, the shout of
" Vises l'Empereur," which was vociferated by one of the
old servants, and scowled down by M. Odilon Barrot,
was not the least gratifying word which he heard
in the course of the day. The day may, perhaps, not
be far distant when the enthusiasm of that old
servant for the nephew of the Emperor will not be for-
gotten to him. After receiving this address, and pay-
ing a visit to some of the most remarkable portions of
the chateau, which we have not here time to describe,
the Prince and the party returned to the railway,
receiving as be passed through the town of Compiegne
an additional tribute of enthusiasm, and a few minutes
afterwards the Crampton steam-engine was hastening
to Paris, where it arrived R ithout let or hindrance
shortly after seven o'clock. The unfortunate guests
who were left behind at Noyon were dispatched from
that place at seven o'clock, and reached Paris at half-
past ten.
The directors of the Northern Railway presented
3;000 francs to the Mayor of Noyon, to be distributed
among the poor, and 'the President added 500 francs t
the amount.
This was the first visit of the President, scehis
election, to any of the agricultural districts . and
