LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 15, 1867.

The Emperor NAPOLEON has just performed a
generous act, and one that no doubt was very con-
genial to his tastes in sending to M. ROUHER the
Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, accompanied
by a letter. This letter is couched in most flatter-
ing terms, but evidently contains more than mere
compliment in its graceful sentences. The EMPEROR
has availed himself of a convenient opportunity for
expressing his thanks to one who has served him
well and faithfully, and who has distinguished
himself by the brilliant success of many of
his undertakings. In referring to the cross,
which is set in diamonds, his MAJESTY re-
marks that " diamonds can add nothing to the high
esteem in which he holds him," but that he avails
himself readily of the chance of thus publicly giving
a new proof of his confidence and his esteem. d 4
In
the midst of your many labours," adds he, " in the
midst of the unjust attacks of which you have been
the object, a friendly attention on my part will, I
hope, cause you to forget the annoyances insepar-
able from your position, and to recal to your
mind your successes, and the services which
you daily render to the country." These
well chosen words aptly represent the real
state of the case concerning the position of the
Minister in question, and no doubt this considerate
act of the EMPEROR'S will afford him encouragement
and satisfaction in his arduous course. It is, at the
same time, a notable record of past services, and
it effaces, in some degree, the vexations of present
complications, while it holds out promise: for the
future.
Although it is well known that the chief work of
transacting business is done by the EMPEROR him-
self, still it must be borne in mind that the posi-
tion of a French Minister is, in many respects,
an awkward one, and that it is an invidious one
besides, because if anything is unpopular in the
Imperial policy, it is very easy to put the blame
upon the Minister, and make him virtually respon-
sible for what he cannot help. Under all circum-
stances, it seems a very appropriate thing that this
compliment should have been paid to M. Rouher,
and he deserves the tribute thus courteously ren-
dered to him, no less for his public services than for
the advantages he has conferred on the EMPEROR by
his zeal and assiduity. The task of conducting French
policy has been very trying of late, and after a
course of almost unparalleled success it has taken a
depressing, if not a disastrous turn. To meet this
it has required renewed exertion on the part of the
authorities, and a determination to make the best
of things, which is more easy to resolve upon than
to perform. M. ROUHER may be congratulated
upon receiving this token of esteem on the part of
his Imperial Highness, for he has deserved much of
the EMPEROR and also of the people, since his best
efforts have not been wanting to further the ends
desired, and in promoting the welfare and studying
e interests of France.

To--day will probably be memorable in the
annals of the House of Commons, for it is purposed
to read the Reform Bill a third time. Although
there is apparently.a good deal to do after this has
taken place, we all know that virtually the task
will have been accomplished, so far as danger and
difficulty is concerned, and the remaining duties of
those who have the conduct of the measure will be
comparatively easy. Had Bill

Bill is in many respects the thing accomplished.
He has left the stormy arena of debate, and he must
take the chances of his position, and abstain from
putting in those delays which the public will not
now easily brook nor willingly pardon. In the
expectation then of little being done in the way of
change in the consideration of the measure by the
Upper House, we may well pause to consider the
task that has been so far accomplished by the Com-
mons. It is no exageration to say that great credit
is due to the House itself for the consistent course
it has pursued through trying circumstances, and
the chances and changes of an eventful Session.
No doubt when all is over, and the bill has been sent
up in due course, many will lay claim to a share of
approval that does not really belong to them,
While we willingly accord all possible tribute to
those independent members, as it is the fashion to
call them, who have through good report and evil
report looked steadfastly to the main chance, and
resisted all temptation to interfere with the work in
hand, we would protest against the encroachments
of those who have done their worst, and now at the
eleventh hour would pretend that they have borne
the burden and heat of the day.

Consistency is a very good thing, as

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 15, 1867.

COURESPO:

AM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Sunday Evening.
There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at the
Tuileries, at which the Emperor presided.
There has been a funeral service in the chapel of
the Tuileries, in commemoration of the death of
the Emperor Maximilian, at which the Emperor
and Empress attended, as well as the Princess
Matilda, Prince Lucien Murat, Prince Lucien
Napoleon Bonaparte, Prince and Princess Napoleon
Charles Bonaparte, the Ministers of State, members
of the Privy Council, officers of the Household,
and the wives of the various dignitaries.
The Pope has ordered a solemn service to be per-
formed in the Sixtino Chapel, in commemoration
of the death of the Emperor Maximilian.
On Fri lay the close of the Danish Rigsrad took
place at Copenhagen. The Royal Speech thanked
the Rigsrad for voting the law upon the army, and
for its accord with the views of the Government,
which it expressed in its address. The Government
promised to enhavour as much as possible to
consolidate the friendly relations between Denmark
and the Foreign Powers, and to surmount " present
difficulties" without compromising the future of the
Danish Monarchy'.
A letter from Florence states that the death of
the Emperor Maximilian has created a deep sensa-
tion in Italy, and particularly in Lombardy. This
homage of the Italians (says the Moniteur), is, of
all the other manifestations, that which perhaps
does the most and the best honour to the memory
of the Prince. He had created the love and esteem
of every one in that country, where, as Viceroy of
the Lombardo-Venetian Territory, he nevertheless
at that time represented a Government which all
then considered as an enemy.
On the 29th of June, M. do Botmilian, recently
appointed Consul General of France at Tunis, had
the honour of being presented to the Bey, with the
accustomed ceremonial by M. Duchesne do Belle-
court, his predecessor in that office at the Regency.
The date now fixed for the arrival of the Emperor
of Austria in Paris is the 28th of August. The
King and Queen of Denmark and King Louis the
Second of Bavaria will come to Paris about the
same time.

Baron Adelsward, representative of Sweden and
Norway at Paris, is gone to meet his Sovereign,
Charles the Fourteenth, at Strasbourg, to accom-
pany him to Paris. His Majesty travels in private
under the name of Count de Beckaskoy.
On the day when the Sultan went to the review
he rode a splendid horse, which was much admired
by all, and particularly by the Emperor. The horse
is of pure Arabian breed. It was the favourite
horse of the Sultan, who was accustomed to ride
upon it through the streets of Constantinople on
his way to the mosque. As the Emperor expressed
such admiration of the animal, the Sultan begged
his Majesty to accept it as a present, an offer which
was courteously accepted, and the horse is now in
the Emperor's stables.
A curious coincidence is mentioned in reference
to the death of the vaudevilliste Lambert Thiboust.
The talented actor made his first appearance at Caen
in the character of the member of the Convention
Barbaroux, in Pousard's piece " Charlotte Corday.',
Pousard died on the 7th of July, Barbaroux, ROO
of the Conventionist, died on the Bth of July, and
Thiboust on the 9th.
A Belgian astronomical publication says that on
the night of the 21st of August the firmament will
present a curious phenomena, which can only be
seen twice. The planet Jupiter will appear for two
hours unaccompanied by its satellites. Three of
these satellites will be in front of the disc of their
planet, and the fourth will be behind it.
In the Galerie des Matieres Premieres at the Ex-
hibition, at the stand of the company of the mines
of lead containing silver and the foundries of Pon-
tigibaud, is an immense block of silver extracted
from the lead of those mines. It weighs about
1,230 English pounds. The form is' oval, and
its value is estimated at about £5,600 sterling.
It is almost of pure silver—that is to say, the pro-
portion of lead or other alloy is not half an ounce to
211,5. The quantity of silver in the lead of these
mines is not larg3, but the lead and other minerals
are sufficiently valuable to pay well for working them.
The department of the Puy-de-Dome is the one
which furnishes the minerals in the greatest abun-
dance, and it was from that department the present
fine specimen was taken. There are, however,
mines in the Upper Alps which furnish lead with a
larger portion of silver, about 435 grammes of sil-
ver to 100 kilogrammes of lead. (There are
500 grammes to the pound, and a kilogramme is
two lbs.) About a dozen mines are worked in that
part of France. They contain coal, marble, cop-
per, alabaster, granite, chalk, rock crystal, and
lithographic stones. The mountains there are very
lofty. Mont Pelvoux has a height of 4,300 metres.
It is not, therefore, surprising that minerals should
be found in these localities, which recall the ancient
origin of these mountains.
The Siecle, in referenceto that part of the speech
of the King of Denmark on the close of the ses-
sion of the Rigsrad, in which ho speaks of " pre-
says—" These difficulties would

Prague, and if it had not adopted useless chicanery."
I hare already mentioned that ono of the pre-
pretexta put forth by Prussia for delay is that she
requires " guarantees" for the German subjects of
North Schleswig. Four hundred and twenty-one
of these subjects have signed a letter to the
Gazette de l'Allemagne du Nord, in which they ener-
getically repudiate the idea that any particular
guarantee for the Danish Government to insure
the safety of the German population in the districts
of North Schleswig is necessary.
"This letter," adds the Siecle, " saps the basis of
the dilatory system adopted by M. de Bism irk, in
order to enable him to dispense with the provisions
of the Treaty in regard to the Duchies."

The Emperor has written a letter of congratula-
tion to M. Rouher on his admirable defence of the
Government in the Chamber. This letter was
accompanied by the order of the Legion of Honour
set in diamonds.
The Memorial Diplomatigue contradicts the re-
port that the body of Maximilian had been muti-
lated, but is of opinion that the Mexicans will make
the question of delivering it up a matter of ransom,
and says that the expedition of Vice-Admiral de
Tegethoff has for object to satisfy this odious de-
mand. The French Legation had not left Mexico
at the end of last month, and the diplomatic body
did not think they would be in any danger. It is
not probable that M. Dano has embarked for
Europe.
A strange occurrence is related in reference to a
young girl residing near the village of Chauny in
the department of Aisne. Four years ago a needle
ran into her hand, and it seems to have traverse
the whole body. The surgeons often tried to extrac,
it, for the girl suffered much pain, but they only
succeeded in breaking it into six pieces. Three of
the fragments of the needle came out of the left side
of the neck a few days ago by the same aperture, at
intervals of half an hour. Two other pieces pro-
truded two days afterwards from the right heel by
two different apertures. The sixth piece of the
needle was extracted by the girl hers,:lf as she was
walking
along the road from her own village to
Abbecourt. All the pieces are as bright as silver,
except ono, which is black.
The Billancourt Exhibition continues to attract.
and several interesting novelties are about to

ad led. There is to beaa show of magnificent hors,ft
and also a dog show. The King of Wurtemberg
and the Prince of Saxe-Weimar visited it yesterday,
and were much pleased with the remarkable collec-
tion of bovine animals.
