THE SIJN, LoriLON, WEDNESDAY El' ENING, MAY 29 1867

Prussian troops was commenced on Saturday. The
Prussian troops are also to evacuate Saxony, leaving
garrisons, however, at Dresden, Kcenigstein,
Leipsic, and Bautzen. The reason for this latter
precaution does not seem to be known. It is stated
that a good feeling existed between these Saxon
cities and the Prussian troops. On the other hand,
at Luxembourg there is a great desire for their de-
parture.

The question respecting the execution of article
5 of the Treaty of Prague, the difficulty in regard
to which I have noticed, begins to assume a phase
of more importance than was supposed. The
Minister of Prussia at Copenhagen, M. de Heyde-
brawl, has had a conference upon the subject with
M. Frys-Frysenborg, president of the Council of
Ministers in Denmark, but the result is not yet
known in Paris. Some well-informed journals
have, however, expressed apprehensions upon the
subject, and allude to several eireumstance, which
lead to the belief that there will b.; dully, if not
difficulty, on the part of Prussia in carrying out
this important provision of the Treaty, although
the point is simple and plain.
The French ship Arequipa has brought to Havre
from Callao 29 copper vases, which were &covered
during some arclare ,logical researches in the envi-
rons of Lima. These vases are in the form of jars,
and weigh each nearly a pound. About 274 similar
articles hating been found near the same locality,
is is believed that they belonged to a necropolis of
Incas, which contained Indian mummies such as
are now frequently found in Peru. At all events
they are evidently of great antiquity. It is believed
that these vases are alloyed with a considerable por-
tion of silver.

The first rowing matches of tho season of the
Paris Rowing Club took place on Sunday opposite
the island of Billancourt. The Rowing Club prize
was won by Hirondelle, the Prix d'lssy by
Emerande, the Prix de l'lle St. Germain by Con-
drillon, the Prize Cup by Rose, and the Bellevue
Prize by Luting.
The Union is a religious journal, and, albeit un •
used to the facetious mood, it tells an anecdote
which is more gay than grave. An eating house-
keeper, in a country village, the other day bought
a very fine turkey, and, with a view to attract cus-
tomers to the dinner, which was to take place at his
house on the succeeding day, he wrote a large pla-
card which he intended to place round the turkey's
neck and parade it through the town. The bill
announced that the dinner would be a franc a head.
There was an N. 8., with the words, "It is forbid •
den to touch the animal." Just as our innkeeper
was about to hang the notice round the turkey's
neck, the chief magistrate of the commune came
into the house to take his glass, and the innke•;per
hastily threw the bill on the chair. The magistrate
finished his wine, and left, but in a few minutes
shouts of laughter were heard. There was a crowd
in front of him who were intensely merry, but when
he turned round the laughter was increased and
soon grew " fast and furious." The grave authority
was equally vexed and astonished, particularly as
some of the police officers were prominent in their
mirth and hilarity. The bill, which htd been
ready pasted for the turkey, had stuck to the tail
of the magistrate's coat, and the notice that the
bearer of it would be roasted for dinner the next
day could be re td by all the astonished villagers.
When the grave magistrate caught sight of the bill
his rage was terrible, and he was particularly angry
with one of the men, whom he asked the reason
why he did not tear away the notice from his coat.
The man replied, with much gravity, pointing to
the N. 8., " The bill says it is forbidden to touch
the animal."

The Presve of Vienna contains a letter from
Jassy, dated May 3, announcing somo rather
serious disturbances in the latter town. Bands
paraded the streets, and there was a demonstration
against the Jews, the cause of which is not stated.
The Consuls of England, Austria, and Russia had
made strong protests to the Minister Bratiano upon
the subject.
The laying out of the two French parterres in the
park, near the Porte Rapp, the centre of which is
occupied by colossal statues of Charlemagne and
Dom Pedro, is now completed, and they all much
to the beauty of the aspect of that portion of the
park. The aquarium in the reservel garden has
been filled with fish.

A scientific commission has been formed, which

includes members of the Observatory, the Institute,
and the College of France, to arrange the meteoro-
logical experiments which Nadar is about to com-
mence with his great balloon, the Giant, and his

nog
a balloon, the
in h
it islt has been a warm
summer day,
which seems to have attracted half
b t
Paris to the Exhibition, for I have never yet seen it
so full. It has been enlivened by the presence of a
large body of the Francs Tireurs des Vosges. The
institution of this band of volunteers took place in
1791 and 1792, when there was a grand
levy of volunteers in France. The department
of the Vosges, animated with patriotic zeal, raised
15 battalions, who served in almost all the armies
of the Moselle and the Rhine during the first wars
of the Revolution. In 1815 this force served during
100 days, and the present force is a continuation of
it. The men in their picturesque costumes were at
till Exhibition to-day, and partook of an excellent
breakfast in one of the restaurants near the Porte
St. Dominique. Their arms and baggage lay out-
side. At intervals their band played some enliven-
ing and patriotic airs, and their presence added
considerably to the pleasures and novelty of the
Exhibition to-day. Each day there is some change,
some novelty, some fresh attraction at this marvel-
lous and unparalleled Exhibition. Visitors may go
every day, and will find that it improves upon ac-
quaintance, for familiarity with it does not " stale
its infinite variety." On the contrary, the more you
see of it the more you like it.

RITUALISM.

The following reply from his Grace the Arch-
bishop of York has been received in answer to
a memorial, adopted and numerously signed at a
public meeting recently held at Birkenhead, by lay
members of the Church of England, to protest
against the practices and innovations of the
Ritualists : _

" Copy,
" Bishopthorpe, York, May 15.
" Gentlemen,--I have to thank you sincerely for
the memorial you have dune me the favour to
aderess to me, and for the manner you speak of me
therein.

"My own opinions upon the practices to which
you refer are well known, and I am happy to think
that they are in conformity with the resolutions
respecting them which have been adopted by by the
two Convocations of Canterbury and York.
" Little disposed to religious controversy, from
knowing the bitterness it engenders, I am not likely
to take any
very active part in it, but I shall not
be deterred, I trust, by attacks of remarkable acri-
mony from doing
what little I can to preserve and
hand down the doctrines and worship of the Re-
formed Church,
_
pure as when we received it, to
those that shall come after.

" Your promise of support shows that laymen are
beginning to supply
that interest in the question
which has been somewhat lacking hitherto. The
danger is great, if it is diminishing, and it is well
that all classes should awake to it, for it concerns
the interests of all.
" I pray that your hearts and minds may be pre-
served by the spirit of truth, and peace, and love ;
and with grateful thanks for the expression of your
goodwill I will ask that you offer the same prayer
for me in this time of the Church's trouble.—l have
the honour to be, geatlemee, your very faithful
servant, " W. EBOR."

TIIE ARRESTS IN HANOVER.—A Berlin letter has
the following :—" It is now evident that the extent of the
conspiracy just discovered in Hanover has been exagge-
rated. More precise information will very soon show that
the effort of that part of the Hanoverian nobility which
kept up relations with King George and Queen Mary have
had but very limited success. Moreover, it is announced
that the letters and despatches seized by the Prussian
Government contained an order given by Kiog George to
ceace all effurts to form a corps of volunteers, but to main-
tain and organise in a solid manner the relations already
established in the country."
