THE FETES AT PARIS.

(From Galignant" s Messenger.)
VISIT TO VERSAILLES.

The next part of the programme of the fetes pro-
vided for the distinguished guests was a visit yester-
day to Versailles, to see the palace and waterworks.
The official invitations to the Royal Commissioners
and other gentlemen honoured with special attention
intimated that the rendezvous was fixed at the palace
at eleven o'clock. The trains of the two railways long
before that hour poured into the town an immense
multitude of fashionably-dressed persons, amongst
whom were a vast number of English, with no in-
considerable sprinkling of Germans, Italians, and
other foreigners. It was intended that the Royal
Commissioners and the Lord Mayor should precede
the public in visiting the different galleries of the
palace; but, having delayed their arrival long beyond
the expected time, it became necessary, in order to
satisfy the impatience of the public, to open the
doors, and immediately after the extensive saloons
became thronged to excess, while a great portion of
the visitors spread themselves over the gardens.
A space in front of the palace was reserved for
the ladies and gentlemen who had received
invitations. Outside these limits, several hundred
persons, French, English, and others, waited with ex-
emplary patience for the arrival of the Lord
Mayor, as the principal guest. It was not until ten
minutes after three o'clock that his Lordship arrived.
A military band immediately struck up a lively air.
lie was accompanied by the Prefect of the Seine, the
Prefect of the Police, and several of the Royal and
foreign Commissioners of the Exhibition. The greatest
curiosity was manifested to see the Chief Magistrate
of London, and as he passed almost every head was
uncovered, but there were no cries of any kind. Neither
of the two prefects, or his Lordship, nor, indeed, any
person except the subordinate officials, wore uniforms
or decorations.

V.
The late hour of the arrival prevented the two
prefects, the Lord Mayor, and their party, from visit-
ing the galleries of the Palace. They accordingly
proceeded at once to the gardens, where the water-
works had begun playing. They examined in detail
all the principal pieces, and the English visitors were,
it is needless to say, delighted and astonished.
The crowd which thronged the gardens during
this time was immense. But, though the escort of
the official visitors only consisted of a few gendarmes
and keepers, there was no inconvenient crowding on
them—notwithstanding the desire which almost
every one manifested to see le Lord 114ture was extra-
ordinarily great. His Lordship was almost constantly
occupied in returning the respectful salutations which
were made to him on all sides, and the further he ad-
vanced the more his train increased.
The weather was beautifully fine ; the waterworks,
recently repaired, were in admirable order, and the
effect they produced in the sunshine was brilliant in
the extreme. The majority of the English, who had
not only never seen, but had never pictured to them-
selves anything of the kind, were almost dazzled with
admiration; and they gave expression to their senti-
ments in the most enthusiastic terms. The vast
crowd hurrying to and fro, relieved as it Was by the
toddies of the ladies, added to the éclat of the scene ' •
and, that the ear might be pleased as well as the eye,
military bands stationed at intervals in the shrubberies
played inspiring airs.
The Prefects of the Seine and Police having caused
the Lord Mayor and their other guests to admire the
last and greatest of the waterworks—the piece of
Neptune—which was really magnificent, proceeded
with them to Trianon, which they visited in detail.
One portion of the public then hastened to the rail-
ways, where they took the carriages by assault; the
others besieged the various restaurants in the town.
The galleries in the Palace were in the usual order,
but in one of the principal of them there were placed,
as a mark of delicate attention to the English visitors,
large portraits of the Queen of England and Prince
Albert, together with a grand painting, by Alaux, re-
presenting the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common
Council of the City of London presenting an address
of congratulation to King Louis Philippe,on the occa-
sion of his visit to England in 1844. All the person-
ages figuring in this painting are accurate portraits,
and many of the civic visitors recognized themselves.
In addition to the English and French Commis-
sioners of the Exhibition, were several of Germany,
the United States, and other countries, as also the
Chinese Mandarin, in full costume. The latter at-
tracted universal attention.
After visiting Trianon, the Lord Mayor, the two
prefects, and their party, returned to Paris.
a
The day passed off without, we believe, sin g
le
contretemps. It was really delightful to see the friendly
feeling which the French of classes displayed to
their English visitors, and the gratitude. which the
latter evidently felt to them for their hosin.tali.y.a
A considerable number of the English visitors
yesterday inscribed their names or left their cards at
the Elysee, for the President of the Repulie.

TUE LATE CHAUGE O FREMOVING THE DANGER-
LIGHTS ON TILE EPSOM EALLWAY.-01.1r readers may recol-
lect, that about the laver end of lay last a young gentleman
was tried at the Surrey Sessions, and sentenced to nine
months' bard labour in the House of Correction for remov-
ing the clanger-lights from one of the carriages on the
Croydon and Epsom Railway: at a late hour at night, while
returning from the " Oaks, ' with several hundred pas-
sengers, but was fortunately seen by two guards who were
returning home, which prevented a collision, and probably
a frightful loss of life, as another train was a short distance
behind. He gave the assumed name of Crawford, but it
was soon ascertained that he was related to many of the
nobility, and officers of 'nigh authority in the army. Great
interest was accordingly used to obtain a remission, or a
commutation of his sentence, and after being two months
in the House of Correction (we understand in the infirmary)
he waa liberated, by order of Sir George Grey, the Secretary
of State for the Home Department, in the early part of last
week.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE suN.
SlR,—Having been used to see year after year the
most diminutive fields contesting the Brighton Stakes,
the rather large number of competitors that will be found
in the fray to-morrow will be a most delightful relief to
the mind and eye. As far as I can ascertain this morn-
ing seven-eighths of the following, if not the whole lot,
will muster at the starting-post, viz.:—Cossack, aged,
Bst 131 b; Backbiter, 6 yrs, Bst 21b, including 71b extra
for winning the Goodwood Stakes; Westow, 5 yrs, 7st
71b, including slb extra; Glen Saddel, 6 yrs, 7st 41b;
Champion, 5 yrs, Tat llb (d); Abdallah, 4 yrs, 7st;
Lord George, 6 yrs, Est 131 b; Valentine, 4 yrs, Est 101 b;
Gillyflower, 4 vrs, Est 101 b; Narcissus, 4 yrs, Est 41b;
Cnreus, 3 yrs, Est 2lb (d); Sir Rowland Trenchard, 3
yrs, sst 121 b; Falcon, 4 yrs, sst 121 b; Grand Duke,
3 yrs, Sat 10lb (d); Nautch Girl, 5 yrs, sst
41b; and Ingratitude, 3 yrs, 4st 10Ib. I have
already given my opinion of their respective chances
which remains in every respect unaltered. The struggle
at the finish, I opine, will be between Westow,'lVarcissue,
Falcon and Ingratitude; and, as I remarked last week,
ending, in all probability in favour of WESTOW or
NARCISSUS; Falcon and Ingratitude well up, with
Backbiter and Cossack at the head of the ruck. The
Pavilion Stakes is a foregone conclusion in favour of
Mr. Payne's FREEDOBI; I doubt whether anything will
run in opposition, without Hampton's owner fancies a
go for the off-chance. From the market I should de-
duce what looks likely to prove a fact with respect to the
Cup, and that is, that not more than three will run for
it, and that PITSFORD or LANDGRAVE, the former for
choice, will turn out to be the trump
cardr on the day. More of this to-morrow.
The betting market is extremely active this
morning, and a good deal of business has been
transacted at the following prices:—Pavilion Stakes---

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The circle, as well as the subscription•room, Was
hronged for several hours, but so much time was taken
up with the Goodwood settling, that very little business
was transacted on future events. Apart from paying
and receiving, the only " feature" was the appearance
of a new favourite for the St. Leger, in the person of
Hothorpe, a member of the Danebury lot: the outlay
on him was by no means extensive. Closing prices:—
