EVENING EDITION.

THE NAPOLEON CEREMONY.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS OF TUESDAY'S
CEREMONY.
(From the Paris Papers.)
The Courrier Francais states that a petition is getting
bp to the Chamber of Deputies for obtaining the resti;u-
tion of the effigy of Napoleon to the decoration of the. Le-
gion of Honour.

The Commerce observes that in addition the eighty-
six standards representing the several deportmeots of
France, borne in procession on Ttic,'Ctay, there was an
eighty-seventh, bearing the name Pit Algiers, which from
a singular arrangement, was carried by a non-commissioned
officer of the Municiriial Guar's, the only corns which has
Dever touched the F Jll of kfrica.

" Marshal Aler,te-," says the National, " in order to be
present at the solemnity in the church of the Invalides, on
Tuesday, %cm. ilaken to the choir in a wheel-chair, and as-
cended the r.,t, ps with great difficulty, supported by two
I.leutcna.x,-Generals. It is stated that during the last
furtnigh',. The Marshal has taken the utmost care of his
hennit, frequently asking his physician with great maiet;
"et,'ss.er by should have a chance of living till the 15,h,
%theta, after the absoluticn, the Marshal with great effort
ltd approached the catafalque, and sprinlsled it with holy
',rater, he was beard to say, Now lam ready to die,' The
venerahle Marshal is in his 87th year, and loaded with in-
irmlt ics."

" On Tuesday," says the Droit," some people who were
waiting round the Ho'el des Invalides discovered some lad-
ders which workmen had lett at the corner of the Boule-
vard, and, having placed them in the fosse, descended from
the outside parapet, and were making their way into the
Inclosure up the opposite slope when an old sergeant came
to the spot with a party of men to drive them back. In
repelling one man more obstinate than the rest the ser-
geant fell into the fosse, broke his thigh, and was trampled
under the feet of the crowd in it. His men with great
difficulty got him out, and at, the same time the ladders
were removed, punishkg the intruders by leaving them in
the ditch, where they could ace nothing till the ceremony
was over."

The interior of tl'e church of the Invalides, with the de-
corations used fo-: the funeral of Napoleon, and the cata-
falque under w,nich the Emperor's body is placed, will be
open to the tnablie for a wet.k, between the hours of one
and four. Persons provided with tickets, for which they
"t "I.T by writing to 111. Cave, au 11Iinistere de l'lnte-
r'eur, time de Grenelle, will be admitted from ten to one.
Thy sumptuous car which conveyed the body has been
t'
-KM to the Arc de l'Etoile, and placed under that monu-
"vltin for public inspection till Saturday incluLive. It will
',ken be removed' to the establishment of the Administra-
ion des Pompos Funebres, No. 183, Rue du Faubourg St.
Denis, and will be visible there.

The etio sailors of the Belli.; Poule and Favorite who
accompan,cd Napoleon's reeaaius to Paris, have been
quartered at the Ecole M;:ittaire, where they arc to remain
for a fortnight and er,joy themselves after the fatigues of
their voyage by seeing the capital. A month's extra pay
has been given to e•sch man for good conduct.
The itioniteur Parisien states that during the proces-
on Tuesday '‘wo men fell from trees in the Champs
tissees ; tine was killed on the spot, and the other
seriously ink,red.
We, are glad to find that the statement of a Municipal
kitv,rd 1-eying been killed on Tuesday by the rammer of
l'oe of Coe guns at the Invalides was incorrect. The poor
fellow bad one of his thighs horribly fractured by the
tampon, which had been left in the gun inadvertently,
and was yesterday amputated for it. He bore the amputa-
tion with the greatest courage, and is doing well.
A veteran, who had lost a leg at Austerlitz, was cross-
ing the Rue St. Honore to attend the funeral ceremony,
124 Tuesday, but w},en near the Piece du Palais Royal he
Tell and broke P.s wooden limb. He was lamenting with
tears his inab;',ity to pay the last honours to his great Ge-
neral, vrhey two young man acing his distress took him

„ The number of persons that came on Monday morning
lo the Pecq and Versailles stations of the two railroads
that are on the north bank of. the Seine, to be conveyed
to Paris to see the funeral Napoleon, was so great that
they could not all be ta'aen. The conduits were all frozen,
and there was the P:,,eatest possible difficulty in procuring
"rater for the boii.ers. It required three engines to a train
(51.1 account of I,Ce intensity of the frost. Twenty thousand
persons were, notwithstanding, thus conveyed to Paris

Zekne, was performed here at the Grand Theatre, in cc-
of the translation of the remains of Napoleon.
the appearance upon the stage of the actor who person-
ated Napoleon was greeted with loud acclarnmations, whilst
that of the performer who personated Sir Hudson Lowe
has the signal for an explosion of feelings of a very differ-
tl,t character. The piece first represents the hero in all
'l5 glory, and then as the victim of adversity, dying in
;Reny by the hand of an enemy, coldly regal, ding the suf.
E4ogs which he had prepared. Every allusion against
eland was rapturously applauded."
The return of te remains of thc Emperor, as we find
°Y the Echo du No:ri, was celebrated at Lille, on Tuesday
evening, at the tlr,atrc, by the exhibition of a species of
APotheosis, during which a Cantate, composed for the
oecasion, was performed, The whole was received with
thel: stronger. marks of approbation. At Valenciennes, on
C tame stay, a solemn funeral service was performed in
one of the churches, in which a large catafalque had seen
~,
'4's'=d, to represent that in the Invalides.
A sumwa voted by te municipality of Guise,
In the Aisne, for thes celebrationh of mass on the occasion
tlf the funeral of the Emperor, and for a distribution of
}heat and bread to the indigent inhabitants.
The funeral car which conveyed Napoleon's remains is
stated to have cost 55,000 f.
, After the sarcophagus of Napoleon was removed from
the funeral car, on Tuesday, at the Invalides, one of the
°ldest pensioners, watching an opportunity, got possession
11f the violet cloth upon which it had lain, and was fur-
trvcly carrying it off, when he was observed and stopped,
As he avowed that t.iis only motive was to preserve it as a
the officers contented themselves with demanding
its reStitUtiOn, bich he was very reluctant to make. As
they persissed, the veteran, under the feelings of the PIO-
Pt, ,00k ote. his knife, and, cutting off a fragment of the
a, hurried away. This example was followed by all
11'1,7 d aud in a few minutes the commissary who held it
be

' an old soldier. he retained as a memento.
The unfortunate. Municipal Guard, the accident to whom,
Pprn cannon at the Imalides, we have mentioned, has not
-Ittvived the consequences of his amputation.
A grand dinner was given by Marshal Soult on Thurs.
iY, in honour of the translation of the mortal remains of
a" Emperor. All the Princes of the Royal Family, the
jinisters, and the Members of the Commission of St.
Helena, were prose nt.
