—this PAULO VERONESE, recently added to the
Art Treasures of the United Kingdom for an
amount very little short of 2,0001., was
sold only last year (1855), with nine
other daubs by the Curate of the Venetian
Church of San Silvestro to a M. Tumid for the
sum of 10,000 francs—giving an average
to each of the ten pictures of just about
401. in round numbers. And for this paint-
ing, appraised at about 401. value in 1855,
England is made to pay over close upon
2,0001. in 1856—t0 be explicit, the picture cost-
ing the nation exactly 1,9771., minus 21. 2s. 2d.
travelling expenses—or, precisely, 1,9791. 2s. 2d.
altogether ! Certainly between the two sales this
huge sprawling PAULO VERONESE was cobbled up
by M. TA GLIAPIETRA, Restaurateur de rAcade-
mie des Beaux Arts de Venise, for a fee
of 100 NAPOLEONS ! But is it in reason, we ask,
that a supposed PAULO VERONESE in very bad
condition "en tres mauvais etat" in 1855, and
then valued at some 401. only should be made
worth anything at all like 1,9771. in 1856 by the
magic brush of even M. TAOLIA.PIETRA? I 3 it?—

this is the sort of bonus the nation must expect to
be called upon to pay, every now and then, in
return for the privilege of having a German

Continent in search of damaged canvas for the

THE ENTRY Or THE GUARDS INTO

Guards were drawn up and assisted the police to
keep the line, and as the Guards passed they pre-
sented arms. That was all the recognition the
troops received from what might be termed the
authorities, for with the exception of the Admi-
ralty, where a solitary flag was hoisted, no symbol
of gratitude for past services, or of joy at the re-
turn of these brave fellows, was exhibited at the
Government offices. They were not even saluted
with a round from the park guns.
At Charing-cross the concourse of persons was
immense, and all the elevated places were crowded
to excess. At the statue of Charles 11., the steps of
the Nelson Column, the National Gallery, and
those of St. Martin's-in-the-fields, the people were
densely packed and cheered enthusiastically; at
' Bewley's, at the corner turninginto Cockspur-street,
a large flag was suspended from the roof of the
house with the words "In peace forget not the
heroes who won it," and at Wells and Lambe's, a
flag, " The pride of the people."
All along C ,ckspur-street, Pall-mall, the same
enthusiastic cheers greeted the troops, and the
Club-houses, Opera-house, and other houses, were
crowded with elegantly-dressed ladies, who evinced
their joy and gratitude at the return of these
brave troops, by the waving of handkerchiefs,
scarfs, &c., &c.

LONDON—(This Day.)

The brigade of Coldstream, Grenadier, and Fusi-
lier Guards made their public entry into London
this morning, on their return from the Crimea,
to resume garrison duty.

The weather in the early part of the morning
was unpropitious ; the sky was overcast—black
and portentous clouds flitted across the horizon,
alternated with transient rays of sunshine and a
slight mist, but notwithstanding this disadvantage
crowds collected early to mark the enthusiasm of a
people anxious to express their gratitude to the
men who have not only nobly sustained the reputa-
tion of the British arms, but have added additional
lustre to our military fame by their, indomitable
courage and bravery in those ever to be re-
membered struggles in the Crimea, and for
their patient endurance and suffering, under
unparalleled circumstances of official blunder-
ing, and the reception the troops met with was
all that could be expected, and must have been
highly gratifying to them.
On the route from the Nine Elms Station, along.
the Wandsworth-road, over Vauxhall-bridge,
through Crescent-road, New-road, Millbank-row,
Millbank-street, Abingdon-street, Old Palace-yard,
Margaret-street, Parliament-street, Whitehall,
Charing-cross, Cockspur-street, Pall-Mall, through
Marlborough-house Yard, along the Park in front
of Buckingham Palace, up Constitution-hill, into
Hyde-park, dense crowds of persons had congre-
gated on the footpaths on each side of the streets,
and at the intersecting streets the concourse ex-
ceeded all calculation. The windows of all the
houses were occupied, and the parapets were lined
with people. Flags fluttered in the breeze, and
many houses were decorated with evergreens and
other demonstrations of joy.
The Brigade, which consists of 3,200 men, were
conveyed from Farnborough Station by the Lon-
don and South-Western Railway, to Nine Elms
Station, by four special trains, iu companies of 30
officers and 810 men, arriving about 8.45, 8.55,
9.20, and 9.30 a.m. respectively. The-conveyance
of the troops was superintended by Mr. Goodson,
the superintendent of the line, and Mr. Scott,
traffic manager, and the arrangements made by
them were excellent, and the greatest punctuality
was observed in all their movements. The troops
were received at the station at Nine Elms by Mr.
Crombie, the secretary; Mr. Yonne, station super-
intendent, and Mr. Beattie, the locomotive super-
intendent, who were most assiduous in their
attention to the officers and men as the respec-
tive trains arrived, and they were greatly assisted
in their labours by Mr. Inspector Bent, of the A
division, and his men, who were on duty at the
station and in the station yard.
The officers, on their arrival, partook, in the
new goods shed, of a breakfast, provided by Mr.
Heritage, of the Royal Albert Hotel, adjoining the
station gate, which gave great satisfaction.
During the interval between the arrival of the
troops and their forming into column, the men
took up their stations in the various portions of
the yard, and it was amusing to hoar their expies-
sions of delight at their return once again to their
native land, and to hear them recount their remi-
niscences of "flood and field." This noble regiment
left Eugland in February, 1854, and was at the
battles of Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman, and the tak-
ing of Sebastopol, the sanguinary conflicts of which
have told heavilyontheirorigival nunbers, but have
added farther glory and renown to their martial
fame. Of the number which left England, but 260
return, and their stalwart frames and swart'sy
countenances present a striking contrast to those
who have replaced their gallant comrades, who
now lie peacefully near the scenes of their glory,
many of them victims of official blunderiug.
About a quarter to eleven o'clock a change took
place in the weather. That which was black and

At Marlborough-house Gate, Earl Cardigan with

them into the park, and on being recognised was
loudly cheered, as was General Beatson, who joined
the troops in the park, and was dressed in gay and
glittering regimentals as Commander of the Bashi-

The same enthusiastic reception awaited the
Guards on their entering the parks, where the
Horse Guards (Blue) re-continued the line as had
been accorded them throughout the previous part
of the route.

As they entered the park through Marlborough-
gate, the clock struck twelve, and on looking
through the vista commanding a sight of the bal
cony at Buckingham Palace, a magnificent sight
presented itself. In the balcony, we afterwards
found, awaiting the arrival of the troops, her

dressed in a white dress, lace shawl, and blue bon-
net ; his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales ; her
Royal Highness the Princess Royal, who was
dressed in a pink dress, with white shawl and green

Duchess of Kent, King Leopold, the Compte de

The windows in front of the Palace were crowded
with royal and distinguished visitors, and the para-
pet was lined with the officials of the Palace.
The troops having passed along the centre Mall
from Marlborough house, accompanied with several
wounded soldiers in plain clothes, entered the side

manner.

MUPINY IN THE TIPPERARY MILITIA.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.

An alarming mutiny broke out among the North
Tipperary Militia, now stationed at Nenagh, on
Monday, and had not been quelled up to post hour
last night. The men peremptorily refused to give
up their clothing and arms previous to disembodi-
ment, and then attacked their officers and com-
mitted several other outrages. Major-General
Cutterton has despatched a large body of troops
from Limerick to quell the mutiny.

Her Majesty, as the troops advanced up the
Mall, and .passed under the balcony, appeared
much affected, and repeatedly bowed and waved
her handkerchief to them in the most familiar and
condescending manner possible, and the brave
fellows were so elated at the signal mark of favour
and affection they had received at the hands of
their Queen that they took off their bearskin caps,
waved them in the air, and cheered lustily.
The troops, as they passed before her Majesty,
emerged by the gate nearest Constitution-hill, pro-
ceeded up the hill across into Hyde-park, amidst
the cheers of countless thousands who were assem
bled iu the vast space in close proximity to this
part of the route.
