those tea,Rictures by a certain M. TOFFOLI.
Rernelber now—for we want to be very particu-
lar in regard to dates, and names, and numerals
—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. TOFFOLI 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 1,977/., minus 2/. 2s. 2d.
travelling expenses—or, precisely, 1,979/. 2s. 2d.
altogether ! Certainly between the two sales this
huge sprawling PAULO VERONESE was cobbled up
by M. TAGLIAPIETRA, Restaurateur de l'Acade-
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 1,977/. in 1856 by the
magic brush of even M. TAcuIAPIETRA? Is it ?
a-hem !—well, really we leave the answer to that
extraordinary Jadge of Art, Sir CHARLES, Loci
EASTLAKE, and to the wonderfully-gifted German
travelling agent of " Herr OTTO MUNDLER, Expert
de la Gallerie Nationale d'Angleterre r Ob-
serving to them with the chuckle of Sir FRANCIS
GRIPE in the Comedy " Settle it between you !
Settle it between you !" Settle it ? Well, bluntly
and honestly, we are more than half-inclined to
think that the two wiseacres who snapped up a
401. daub for the small sum of very nearly 2,0001.
sterling, have received at last for themselves
what is idiomatically called " a settler," from
Mr. MORRIS MOORE, of 27, Soho-square. Un-
fortunately the nation has had to " settle"
for itself, to the tune of 1,979/. 2s. and 2d.,
according to the acknowledgment--no, not exactly
according to the acknowledgment, but absolutely
according to the veritable " brag," of that very
extravagant economist, -Mr. JADIES Winsoiv, of
the Economist, Member for Westbury', and Secre-
tary to the Treasury. We suppose, however,
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
cognoscenti (highly salaried) pottering about the
Continent in search of damaged canvas fur the
walls of the National Gallery.

THE EN2RY OF 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 turning into 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 Cickspur-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.)

-T-

The brigade of Coldstream, Grenadier, and Vusi-
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 beilf
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, in 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. Younge, 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 hear their exptes-
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 England in February, 1854, and was at the
battles of Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman, and the tak-
ing of Sebastopol, the sanguinary conflicts of which
hare told heavilyon their original numbsrs, but have
added further glory and renown to their martial
fame. Of the number which left England, but 260
return,, and their stalwart frames and swarthy
countenances present 'a striking contrast to those
who hive replaced their gallant comrades, who
now lie peacefully near the scenes of their glory,
many of them victims of official blundering.
About a quarter to eleven o'clock a change took
place in the weather. That which was black and
lowering became bright and cheerful ; the sun
shone out with greater vigour, its rays playing fan-
tastically around the accoutrements of the men,
the polished bayonets, and the orders and decora-
tions of the officers, the whole presenting a bril-
liant and enlivening scene, and this delightful
change in the weather continued throughout the
day.

At Marlborough-house Gate, Earl Cardigan with
bis aides-de-camp, joined the Guards and rode with
them into the park, and on being recognised was
Ibudly 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-
Bazouks.

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 tley 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
MAjesty, who looked remarkably well, and was
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
bonnet; several other of the Royal children, the
Duchess of Kent, King Leopold, the Compte de
Flandres, with several of his Majesty's suite, Lady
Sutherland, &c., &c.
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
gate nearest Pimlico, and passed in front of the
Palace, and were received by her Majesty, the
members of the Royal family, and distinguished
visitors, in the most gratifying and affectionate
manner.

MUTINY IN THE TIPPERARY MILITIA

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAP.H.)
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
Chatterton 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
condes'cending 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 in the vast space in close proximity to this
part of the route.

A few minutes before eleven o'clock the order
was given for the men to fall in. This was
speedily complied with, the band playing
the National Anthem, followed by the pathetic'
strains of " Home, sweet Home," -- words
calculated to rekindle with electric rapidity, under
ordinary circumstances, man's earliest and dearcst
associations ; but who can enter into the feelings,
of men returned from a perilous and arduous catn-'
paign as these notes strike upon the ear, and the
hope of again meeting father, mother, brother;
sister, wife, little ones, and all that man holds
dear, rise uppermost in his bosom. That the
strains produced perceptible emotions of this kind
in the breasts of these brave men was not to be
doubted, but discipline, which has the effect of
steeling and hardening to a certain extent the finer
feelings of man's nature, stepped in, and the order
to form in line banished for a time the thoughts
--
that had thus momentarily engaged their attention.
All being in readiness, Lieut.-Gan. Crawford,
Brigadier-General, accompanied by Capt. Sturt,
his aide-de-cam p, Col. Foley, who brought the brigade
home, Lord Rokeby, Col. Sarkey, Capt. Hon.
A. Eggerton, Major Hon. W. Coke, Capt. Hon.
W.Wellesley, Major F. Baring, Col. Lewis, and Cul.
O'Brien took up their respective positions in front of
the troops, and the Ensigns in their proper place
at the head of their regiment with their colours
with which they left England, all riddled with shot
and in tatters, but with sufficient left to recall
their daring deeds at Talavera, Barossa, &c., the
word of command to move forward was given.
The station gates were then thrown open, and
the column, each regiment preceded by its band
playing some popular piece of music, moved into
the Wandsworth-road in " fours," amidst the en-
thusiastic cheers of the assembled thousands.
As they proceeded along 'Wandsworth-road, over
Vauxhall-bridge, and through Millbank-row and
Millbank-street, the cheers were caught up by
the eager and expectant • crowd, and again
and again renewed and repeated. At the
various points along these roads flags streamed
from the houses, on many of which were inscrib-
ed " Welcome home, brave Guards," and the
like. On Vauxhall-bridge an incident occurred
which, though slight in itself, was no doubt grati-
fying to the humble individual noticed, and was
wermlT “pptanded by the respectably-dressed
persons who had congregated on the bridge.
A young man, who had lost his arm, and was
dressed in plain clothes, with the Crimean medal
and three bars on his breast, attracted the atten-
tion of the veteran Lord Rokeby as ho rode along.
His lordship stopped, asked the man where lie lost
his arm, and was informed at Inkermann, his lord-
ship all the time shaking him heartily by the hand.
The troops, iu passing through Abingdon-street,
Old Palace-yard, Margaret-street, Parliament-
street, and Pall-mall, were again enthusiastically
cheered ; and as they passed in front of the Houses
of Parliament, which were crowded with peers
and ladies, as was the Treasury, the Chapel. RoyA
the Horse Guards, and the Admiralty, were re-
ceived with waving of handkerchiefs by the ladies,
the loud huzzas of the populace, and the melodious
tones of the bells of St. Margaret's Church ; and
at the corner of Parliament-street bouquets of
flowers were thrown by ladies on the balconies
amongst the troops.
During the progress of the troops the police .had
behaved exceedingly indulgent to the people, many
of whom, from their being collected in such great
numbers, were unable to resist the pressure from
behind, and had to walk along the road by the
troops, but on arriving at the corner of Parlia-
ment-street, where Great George-street and Bridge-
street intersects, the crowd had become so great
that they inconvenienced the Guards as they
marched along. By a vigorous resistance under the
Superintendence of Captain Harris, the new Police
Commissioner, who acted with great consideration
and caution, the crowd were kept back, and the
troops proceeded on their route without further in-
convenience.

At the commencement of Whitehall the Horse
