LONDOIV, MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1807.

The Emperor of RUSSIA has arrived in Paris,
and Paris was enlivened by the eclat that attended
the Imperial entree. This event naturally carries
one's mind back to the time when another Emperor
of RUSSIA entered Paris, and the contrast is indeed
striking and particular. It is under far happier
circumstances that the present Czar, now enters the
capital of France, and indeed it is scarcely possible
to exaggerate the changes for the better that
have occurred since that period. The Emperor
NAPOLEON is also circumstanced very dif-
ferent to the NAPOLEON of that day, and
although not to te compared with his illustrious
relative, it may be said that he manages the suc-
cesses of his policy of peace more frilly and effec-
tually than hi 3 predecessor that of war, which was
his forte. A brilliant scene was that which met the
eyes of the Autocrat upon his arrival in the French
capital. The EMPEROR was there to greet him, and

a very cordial salutation to:Ac. place between:
two monarchs : a guard of honour, ltiussi.►n

French flags, and all the attendant attributes that
go to make up an affair of this kind. The only
drawback to the arrangements seem to have
been that the two Emperors set off i❑ a

close carriage, which caus2.d great disap-
poinintnit to the crowds which had waited for

hours in the expectation of sight seeing. This is
on.) a • nyn
teorary arrangement, however, because
,
there will 1 c other opportunitiez of seeing the illus-

trious visiOrs; still it is always a matter of regret
when anything occurs to mar the enjoyment of the
public on such occasions. It is, on the whole, a
fortunate thing that the Emperor of RUSSIA should

have visited Paris at this juncture. Anything that
affords an opportunity for visits of this kind is to
be taken advantage of by experienced politicians,
and the more so as these opportunities are as rare
as they are precious. It is not difficult to foresee
the confusion that would arise were an Imperial
visit like this to be made for no visible purpose,
how rumour would run riot, and how numerous
would be the surmises to which it would give rise.
We are not sorry, besides, that Paris should now
be the centre of attraction in Europe after the very
prominent manner in which Prussia has put herself
forward, and that the Emperor NAPOLEON should
be master of the ceremonies to the crowned
heads of Europe, and of course able to
improve the opportunity in various ways.
It may be that the various circumstances
connected with the French Exhibition will serve to
prevent war from breaking out, but if not, at any
rate a good opportunity is thereby afforded.
Nothing but the approval of this world's fair has
put it off from this year, and perhaps it may re-
sult that a considerable time elapses before the
peace of Europe is broken in upon by adverse
chances. Much may occur to change the direction
of Prussian policy and curb the ambitious designs
of Count BISMARCK by next spring, and all parties
will see their way clearer we have no doubt.

To clay will witness the inauguration of one of
the most remarkable and important of our modern
metropolitan improvements--the viaduct across
HolLorn-valley. The dangers and inconveniences
attending the old state of things are too familiar to
every one who has driven or been driven up or
down the veritable hill, Difficulty, and the actual

injury done to life and limb has swelled to a for-
midable aggregate in the course of the yoar. The
owners of horses especially had good
reason to complain of the ritk run to
the poor animals, and certainly it was
inconsistent with our professions of humanity, as
well as with our boasts of national engineering skill,
that nothing should be done to facilitate the steep
ascent and descent in such a crowded highway.
The idea of raising Holborn-valley has indeed been
in existence for many years ; but, like other reforms,
it required seemingly to be talked about, laid aside,
brought out again and re-discussed, and then left
in abeyance for a considerable time. In September,
1863, however, decisive steps were taken, and the
Improvement Committee of the Corporation were
empowered by the Court of Common Council to in-
vite the preparation of plans, designs, and estimates
for the desired improvement, and as many as 105
suggestions were offered, accompanied by numerous
drawings and models. The engineer and surveyor
to the City Commissioners of Sewers superintended
their classification, and divided them under several
heads. There were some that only dealt with
portions of the road and sideway, and these were
set aside as not sufficiently comprehensive. The
great object which the committee set before them
was the securing of a good roadway between east
and west, and the necessity for this was amply
proved by a report of Mr. HATwoon, which showed
that upon an average more than 4,200 vehicles go
up and down the bill from the low levels daily.
The pan which was finally decided upon was cer-
tainly comprehensive enough, for it involves the
entire removal of the present surface and the pro-
perty on both sides. It is based upon the principle
of constructing viaducts or high level roadways on
the line of Holborn -bill and Skinner-street,
and will, it is believed, provide a complete
remedy for the existing evils, afford improved
approaches from the surrounding neighbourhood,
and offer great facilities for traffic. The work of
clearing has been going on vigorously for a consi-
derable time, and the demolition has been rapid, as
we know, from the sad stories brought to light by

the destruction of the crowded courts and alleys
that fringed the hill. The work itself, however,
has not been actually set on foot until to-day, when
the chief corner stone of the projected viaduct will
be laid with all due ceremony. The work will,
when completed, be a fine specimen of engineering
skill. The viaduct is to extend from the western
end of Newgate-street to Hatton-garden, cross-
ing Farringdon-street by an iron bridge of three
arches supported by granite piers with easy flights
of steps for foot passengers. The viaduct is to be
80 feet wide, and connected with two new streets,
one starting from Hatton-garden to the north-east,
the other joining it near St. Sepulchre's Church, and
proceeding in the opposite direction. A direct
line of thoroughfare will thus be formed,
which can hardly fail to afford substantial relief
to the traffic, more especially as ready access
will be given by it to the new meat
market and to the north-eastern parts of

London, including of course the Cattle Market.
We hope that this great and much-needed improve-
ment may be carried out fully and effectually with-
out any unnecessary delay. It is quite time that
we set our city in order, for although we may boast
of its bustle and confusion, it is very inconvenient
and unbusinesslike to allow unnecessary obstacles to
our daily traffic. It is only to be regretted that so
many poor families have inevitably suffered from
the change, and it is worth considering whether on
a similar occasion some provisions for their accom-
modation might not be stipulated for by the Legis-
lature in granting the necessary powers.

On Saturday the statue of Lord HERBERT was
unveiled, by the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, in the pre-
sence of several noblemen and gentlemen. Previ-
ous to the ceremony being performed, Mr. GLAD-
STONE, as chairman of the Executive Committee,
made a few well-timed observations, in which he
alluded to the circumstances which had attended
this affair. The right hon. gentleman said truly
that " they might deem themselves happy in having
been allowed to place the statue of Lord HERBERT
in contiguity with the scene which is asso-
ciated with the most interesting of all his
labours, and in which he spent the last and
failing energies of his life." Mr. GLADSTONE con-
cluded by expressing in eloquent terms the high
sense which all entertained of the services rendered
by the departed nobleman to the army, which, in-
deed, was his especial claim to public notice and re -
gard ; and added that he trusted that for that reason,
even more than on account of others, the statue
before them might long be a memorial visible to the
eyes of all men, and " saying, though dumb, to all
those who came after the deceased, 'Go thou and
do likewise.' " Good taste has been shown in
the inscription on the pedestal, SIDNEY HERBERT,
that being the name by which the late noble-
man was best known. Sir J. PAKINGTON
said a few words in testimony of his apprecia-
tion of the work Wore them, and his sense of Lord
11E1-alma's devotion to the public service ; and the
Duke of CAMBRIDGE'S observations were interest-
ing, for he referred to the three " leading features"
in the life of Lord HERBERT, Width the artist had
happily seized upon in his tablets. He is associated
with Miss NIGHTINGALE, the hospital arrangements
for which that lady has been so famous. He i,
also represented by the volunteer force, which
he had a great deal to do with, and like-
wise in the construction of some new war
material; the first Armstrong gin having been made
under his administration.

This interesting ceremony attracted a number of
