GRAND REVIEW' IN PARIS,

The Emperor of the French held a grand review on
Friday in honour of the Prince of Wales. His Royal
Highness had every reason to be satisfied with the im•
posing sight. The entire cavalry garrisons of
Paris and Versailles were on the Bois de
Boulogne, the spot chosen for the review. The artillery
was drawn up in columns of batteries by the trees which
divide the Bois from the river, and the cavalry was formed
in lines in the plain between the artillery and the road.
The crowd was not so great as might have been expected,
but the spectators seemed to take the greatest interest in
the proceedings. The royal visitors made theirappearance at
intervals, and each arrival was a fresh source of excitement.
The Princess of Wales was an especial object of
interest. She was looking better than before her trip
to the East. The Emperor came on the ground at
three o'clock, and the Prince of Wales rode on his right
hand, dressed in his uniform of Colonel of the 10th
Hussars. The weather was at first unfavourable,
but the threatened rain did not snake its appear-
ance, and by the time the review was over the
sun shone brightly. The distinguished visitors
were on horseback, and the Prince Imperial attracted great
admiration by the skill with which he managed his
horse. After the cortege had passed in front
of the several lines, the troops went through
their various evolutions, the most interesting part of the
affair being the charge of the artillery. They charged by
batteries, and displayed a rapidity and accuracy greatly
to be admired. The whole of the troops marched past at
the conclusion of the review. Marshal Canrobert com•
manded, and Marshal Niel, Minister of War, was with
the Emperor's staff. The general impression con-
veyed by the military pageant was that the French
Government knew what it was about in the arrangements
of the army, and did not spend such large sums of money
for nothing.

On Sunday the medical bulletin stated that "Lord
Stanley of Alderley had passed a restless night, and was
about the same as the previous day."

The Queen held a drawing-room at Bucking.
ham Palace to-day, and the Prince of Wales will hold a
levee on behalf of her 31.1ajesty:on Tuesday, the Ist of June.
Rer Majesty and the royal family willleave Windsor Castle
to-morrow for Buckingham Pltlace. Iler Majesty will stay
in London till Wednesday, and then return to Windsor.
Her Majesty, with their Royal highnesses Princesses Louise
and Beatrice, Prince Leopold, and Prince and Princess
Christian, will, according to present arrangements, leave
Windsor Castle for Balmoral on Friday evening.

On Sunday morning, as the West llartlerool Artil-
lery Volunteers were proceeding to West Hartlepool
Parish Church, accompanied by several spectators, some
one, as yet unknown, threw a quanity of vitriol on
to the neck and shoulders of a young female in
the crowd, named Bowman. The injured girl was taken to
Dr. Stamp's surgery, where her wounds were dressed. Be-
sides the burrs on her neck, Miss Bowman's mantle and
dress were perforated in a score of places by the burning
liquid.

On Monday an inquest was held in Baldwin-
street, St. Luke's, on the body of George Porter, a lunatic,
who destroyed his life after bciug discharged from St.
Luke's Workhouse. It appears from the evidence that on
the 2d inst. the deceased, who had been six months in the
workhouse, was turned out of it by order of the board. Two
ti)qlings were ;riven to him to keep him until he found work.
On the following day ho was found hanging to a beam in a
c:oset at a beer-shop in Bath-street. Ile had observed at the
beer-shop, " They have turned 18 men out of the workhouse.

sound mind was recorded.
