of the EMPEROR, and although he has been badly
advised, and is naturally very obstinate, he has dis-
played so much spirit in his struggles with the ene-
mies who surrounded him, and so much self-com-
mand and fortitude when he seemed overtaken by
crushing misfortune, that, whether as a man or as a
Sovereign, he commands respect and admira-
tion. Something more than the mere form
of congratulation which custom dictates at
such a time is here due, and amid the
felicitations that he will receive from Courts and
Cabinets will be mingled some real and true rejoic-

pend ing his trial. This is to be the chief part of
the 'Radical programme for the coming session, and
is likely to increase the present disturbed and tur-
bu.lent condition of affairs in the States. Another
element likely to be troublesome is Fonianism, and
England and America will have to exercise great
caution to prevent these mischievous conspirators
from involving them in difficulties. It is said
that influential persons are pressing the Go-
vernment to make a formal demand upon the
British Government for a settlement of the Alabama
claims. We should hope that the Administration
of the United States will have too much good
sense to attempt anything so preposterous. At
a Fenian meeting lately held at Roches-
ter it was resolved to adopt retaliatory
measures if the Fenians in Canada were
punished. It is surprising how busy their illustrious
brethren continue to make themselves ; and while
they receive such actual encouragement and sup-
port from the American people, if not from the
American Government, our transatlantic cousins
can scarcely, in common fairness, talk about Eng-
lish sympathy with the South.
There is one very satisfactory item in the it-
telligence, and it is a fact which bears an especial
significance to wise men on this side of the Atlan-
tic. The annual report of Secretary MiCuLLocn
will, it is said, show a surplus of revenue over
expenditure of $38,000,000. So much for the dire-
ful prophecies which many in this country uttered
respecting American paper currency.

iAgs that he has not fallen prematurely by the hands

of an assassin.

The description which had already been given I
of the EMPEROR'S reception in Prague may
perhaps have prepared more people for a
heartier demonstration being made, but hardly
for such extremities as those we have chronicled.
Perhaps this episode in the EmrEiton's career is
more powerful than any that has preceded it, how-
ever startling or terrible it may have been. There
is something very mean and contemptible in turn-
ing round upon one who has failed in his efforts or
fallen from his position, whether he be a private
individual or the occupant of a throne, and the
Bohemians will do themselves no credit in the eyes
of Europe by such unworthy demonstrations. The
appointment of Baron von BEUST is no doubt a very
great source of annoyance to the subjects of the
EMPEROR, and has perhaps mainly contributed at
the last to the very unfavourable reception he has
met with in Prague, leading on by gradual means
to the dark design we have become acquainted with.
At any rate those who are the most favourably dis-
posed towards the Imperial cause, and most inclined
to take a sanguine view of his fortunes, must con-
fess that the prospects of the EMPEROR are very
bad, and that his path is environed by difficulties
which seem to be almost insuperable. At the pre-
sent time a more unwise thing could not have been
done than to select him for so responsible a post:as
that of Foreign Minister. It is sure to make con-
fusion worse confounded, and to exasperate those
who were already doubtful, while it influences and
irritates the disaffected beyond the bounds of pru-

SUN, LONLON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1866.

The first establishments which will meet the eye on
entering the Champ de Mars by the Pont de Jena,
will be those devoted to photography, both on the
right and left. The reserved garden in the centre
of the Palace will be 166 metres long, and 56 metres
wide. All round it, against the wall of the Gallery
of Fine Arts, will be a covered promenade, sup-
ported by handsome columns. A great many
packages containing various beautiful products have
arrived in France from Russia.

Two important improvements are to be introduced
into the telegraphic system in Paris. The first is
a reduction in the price for the transmission of mes-
sages in the interior of France. The second will be
to carry the wires underground instead of their being
supported by posts as at present. The isolation is
often lost now, in wet weather for instance, but the
subterranean wires will insure regularity. The
latter change will entail great expense and cannot
be carried into effect at present.

ASTLEY'S THEATRE.

The winter season, under the management of
Mr. H. C. Nation, commenced most auspiciously
on Saturday evening last, on which occasion a very
large audience assisted to encourage the new lessee
in his undertaking. Mr. Nation has secured the
services of a very excellent company, and has also
secured novelties by authors of acknowledged
merit, of which report speaks very highly. The
pieces selected for the opening night were
the eminently successful drama founded on
Mr. Charles Dickens's novel, "Our Mutual Friend,"
entitled the " Golden Dustman," which, on its first
representation at Sadler's Wells last season, met
with the most unbounded applause. The only
alteration of importance from the original cast was
in the character of Boffins, which was first repre-
sented by Mr. Belmore, but Mr. Atkins on Satur-
day sustained the part with the greatest excellence.
The remaining characters were sustained by Miss
Brecknell, Miss Nelly Nisbctt, Miss Nelly Burton,
Messrs. W. T. Richardson, Branch, Walter Joyce,
T. C. Harrii, Wrench, W. Arthur, Smithson, Craig,
and W. Harris.

The concluding piece was the burlesque of
" Atalanta ; or, the Three Golden Apples." The
character of Narcissus was entrusted to Miss Made-
line Percy ; and Miss Polly Marshall, as Atalanta,
sustained her part with great spirit.
Mr. Nation, we hear, is determined to carry on
his campaign with spirit and energy, and therefore
it will be but his desert if he meets with the most
unequivocal success.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

On the evening of the day before yesterday a man,
since discovered to be a journeyman tailor, was
arrested in Prague upon strong suspicion of intent
to assassinate the Emperor Francis Joseph.
At the moment when the Emperor, who had just
left the Bohemian Theatre, was stepping into his
carriage on the evening in question, this man was
seen to point a pistol at his Majesty. The act was
observed by Captain Palmer, an English gentleman,
who instantly seized the man's uplifted hand and
prevented the accomplishment of his probable de-
sign. Immediately afterwards Captain Palmer
handed the man over to the police. The pistol was
found to be loaded with ball.

PARIS, October 30.

A report, addressed to the Emperor by Marshal
Bandon, Minister of War, has been published to-
day, nominating the Commission, which, agreeably
to his Majesty's order, is to inquire into the advisa-
bility of modifying the military organisation of the
Empire. The Commission, the chief presidency of
which the Emperor reserves to himself, is to seek
the means of placing the national forces in a condi-
tion to insure the defence of the territory, and main-
tain the political influence of France. The Com-
mission is composed of six Ministers, the Marshals,
and several Generals.

ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF BOSTON.

Tfl(lV

There were, however, very few traces remaining o
the bones. Three and a half yards cast of the
centre a second burnt body was found, also burnt
on the spot, and with very few bones remaining.
One yard and a half east of the last a third
burnt body was found, more bones remain -
ing, but still very few, and those of an
older person. This was also burnt on the spot.
Three yards south-east of centre, and one foot above
surface, an urn was found lying on the side, the
mouth to the east, and beneath it an " incense cup"
of 2in. in diameter, and liin. high, the pottery quite
plain. The urn has a rim with horizontal workings
of impressed thong, and below the rim the urn has
a line or v inarmang6, inn urn lb
high, and with it was the least possible trace of
burnt bone—microscopic, in fact—the body having
been almost completely burnt on the spot. Two
yards east of centre, lift. above the natural surface,
was another burnt body, and upon the bones, or
a little among them, was an urn, standing upright,
sin. high, with [overhanging rim and ornamented
with punctured holes; the surface of the urn was too
much decayed to make out the pattern. In this case
the body was burnt on the spot. A change occurred
two yards east north-east of centre, where a burnt
body was found on the surface of the ground, but
not burnt on the spot. At the centre, but lift. above
surface, an urn was found reversed over a burnt
body, which had been nearly burnt up on the spot,
very few traces of bone remaining. This urn was
sin. high, ornamented with five lines of vertical
markings, forming perpendicular zigzag impressions,
and was a perfect miniature of a cinerary urn,
beautifully made and quite perfect. The line mark-
ing had been made by a sharp pointed instrument of
wood or bone. No flint was met with in the material
of this barrow.
The third barrow opened was 14 yards in diameter
and 2ft. high. In the centre was an urn upright,
standing upon burnt bones. This urn was after-
wards found to be standing on a second urn, which
was laid on its side, the mouth to the west, and de-
posited also among burnt bones. Both urns were
Sin. high, and with overhanging rims, but quite
plain. The bodies had been burnt on the spot.
The fourth barrow was 19 yards in diameter and
4ift. high. In the centre, 3ift. above the plane, a
body, burnt on the spot, NI, as found, and in some
places the bones remained only just charred, as re-
gards the curvical vertebra, very slightly so. Large
quantities of charcoal lay underneath the bones,
which lay in the position in which they had been
placed before being subjected to the fire. This was
a remarkable discovery—the body, half charred, lay
on its right side, and was doubled up with the knees
to the chin, and with the head to the south-west.
At the head was placed an urn 7in. high, with over-
hanging rim, and ornamented with horizontal and
perpendicular line markings, arranged to form
squares, the squares forming lines round the urn.
The body in this case was placed in a hole of 3ft.
diameter, a cist sunk into the ground, and around
it was a great redness and much sign of burning.
Here was a connecting link between the inhumation
and cremation customs, showing that the method of
burial uniformly adopted in the former was also that
in use in the latter, prior to the application of the
fire ; in fact, the latter people prepared their body
for burning just as the early people deposited theirs
in the ground, in the customary doubled up or con-
tracted position. In the houe, also, were found a
flint score, from which implements had been struck,
and a quartz pebble, which had been used as a
pounder or hammer, all broken round the edges for
use, a counterpart of the one found behind the head
of an unburnt body in one of the Weaverthorpe
barrows.

The fifth houe was 19 yards in diameter and 2ft.
high. In the centre was a cist 4ft. deep, and 10ft.
by Bft. measurements, formed east and west. At
the bottom was a contracted and unburnt body laid
on the left side, with head to south-east, and close
to the south side of cist. Above the body were
great masses of charcoal—large blocks of it, in fact.
The body had as nearly as possible gone to decay.
Parts of another skull—the parietal and occipital
portions were found about a foot above the
other body, but no other bones were with them.
Was there here a displacement of one body to inter
another ? There were no signs of such, and the
archaeologists present could not determine, and
there is no satisfactory conclusion arrived at respect-
ing the pieces of the second skull.
The sixth and last barrow opened of this series
was a return to the cremation type. The houe was
23 yards diameter, and lift. high. In the centre
was a cist, aft. deep by 2ft. Sin. diameter, evidently
made before the body was burnt, the burnt bones
chiefly remaining on the place of cremation. Char-
coal was in the hole, and some few bones were in
it and above it, the burning about being extremely
large. Several large lints were placed over the in-
terment.
These openings were on the southern slopes of the
