GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.

After a most successful tour throughout the pro-
vinces, Mr. and Mrs. German Reed (late Miss P.
Horton) returned last night to the scene of their
many former triumphs at the Gallery of Illustra-
tion, Regent-street, and, "in the hope of inaugu-
rating a prosperous London season on the auspi-
cious occasson of the general rejoicing," re-pro-
duced, with additional completeness and effect,
their agreeable "entertainment," consisting of
popular illustrations from real life. The "Gal-
lery" has been again improved, and great attention
appears to have been paid to the ventilation,
in securing which, the opportunity has been
taken of adding to the elegance of the roof, which
now pr-sents a series of lustrous, starry devicev ,
suggestive of fresh air, and of the celestial canopy.
It is almost needless to remark that every avail-
able seat in the chamber, by no means stunted in
its proportiOns, was eagerly occupied as soon as the
doors were thrown open, and applications innumer-
able for admission to the unreserved pore ion had to
be refused. The appl Anse was hearty and enthu-
siastic as Mrs. Reed pourtrayed with consummate
skill those scenes from " A Vist to Holly Lodge,"
and a " Month from Home," which she has made
so es=entially her own, and which will ever remain
identiAied 'with her name. "The Uu finis he 1 Opera"
afforded room for the further development of Mr.
and Mrs. Reed's peculiar talents. Previous to the
opening of the entertainment Mr. Reed briefly ad-
dreesecl the audience, and s.ated that; following the
example of all the world, he and his wife had not
been able to resist the temptation of making an ap-
pea i rance n London on the happy occasion of the
royal festivities and rendering th it homage to the
royal nuptials. There seems every prob Ability that
a prosperous season will reward the exertions of
this gifted couple.

as secre'ary, of the meeting of British residents in.
Paris, delivered, on Saturday, to the Grand Cham-
berlain (Duke of Bassano) the address voted on that
occasion, and which was signed by 535 names, for
presentation to the Emperor. The Grand Cham-
berlain informed Lord Gray that he had been com-
manded to express the Emperor's gratitude for the
kind feeling which prompted the address, as also to
express his regret that, not having received any of
the numerous French deputations, he felt himself
precluded from receiving that of the British resi-
dents.

The Moniteur publishes a translation of the
address forwarded to the Emperor by the corpora-
tion of London.
" Mr. Mackinnon, M.P.," says the Constitution-
" has left Paris for London, after collecting a
mass of information ou the organisation and working

the approaching session of Parliament." •

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian ministerial journal, the Zeit, of
Berlin; contains the following remarks on some
points of the speech of the Emperor of the French
at the opening of the session
" We receive with the fullest satisfaction the
passage of the speech from the throne relative to
the Duchies under the sceptre of Denmark. The
Emperor openly declares that it is a question plarely
German, in which neither France nor any other
European power will have to interfere, so long as
the integrity of Denmark shall not be threatened.
Naturally,. Germany does not require to wait, be-
fore taking the measures necessary for the main-
tenance of her right 4, to have the opinion or the
advice of the foreign powers on the subject ; but
it is satisfactory to see that the non-interested
European powers recognise the competency of the
G(rmanic Confedeiation, and take from Denmark
all hope of foreign assistance. The Emper r avails
himself of this oppottuuity to proclaim in general
the principle of non-intervention iu all questions
which do not directly concern France. He calls to
mind that in the negotiations relative to the affair
of Neufchatel the intervention of the French Ca-
binet was only justified by its having been afforded
at the request of Prussia. What the Emperor
says on the affairs of the Principalities is also very
satisfactory. His Majesty does not appear to
attach much importance to the differences of
opinion Which have arisen on that question. He
explains the policy of France without binding it to
an absolute programme, and thus removes in ad-
vance the disquietude caused by the belief that
France would obstinately resist any project of
conciliaticn. Napoleon 111., in fact, binds himself
by uuequivecal expressions to exercisehis influence
in the future conferences in a conciliatory spirit.
We are convinced that this promise will alone suffice
to produce a conciliatory impression ; and we con-
sequently entertain more strongly than ever the
hope that European diplomacy will succeed in
solving in a satisfactory manner all the difficulties
connected with the Danube, and will at last ter-
minate the work of peace begun at Paris.
