ME PEACE FOR LANARKSHIRE.

The Vimiera has arrived yesterday from Sydney, but
is not believed to have brought any gold.
Ferukh Khan' who has been of late travelling about
incognito, a few days back paid a visit to the manufac-
tcry of looking-glasses at St. Gobain, in the Aisne, and
at the same time examined very minutely the fine ruins
of the old castle. The object of his visit to the manu-
factory was to make important purchases for the Shah
of Persia. .

Lord Goderich lea; been in communication with the
curious society at Sheffield, called the "Foreign Affairs
Committee." During their meeting the ?tber evening,
a letter was read from his lordship, containing the fol
lowing passage :—"I am of opinion that criminal pro-
ceedings ought no; to be taken against Sir John Bow-
ring; S;r M. Seymour,
.and Mr. Parkes, not because I
wish to 'deal with a crime by a different process than
that of the law,' but because I do not believe that they
have done anything which the law would punish crimi-
nally. If they had, I should have been anxious that
they or any other persons should have been duly punished
by legal process.

FRANCE.
PARIS, THURSDAY.
A Council of Ministers, at which the Emperor
presided, was held yesterday at the Tuileries.
The Grand Duke Constantine of Russia arrived
at Paris at 5 o'clock this evening. He was con-
veyed in an open carriage to the Tuileries, al ng
the Boulevards. Prince Napoleon accompanied
him. An immense crowd had assembled to see
him pass.
We are still without the answer of Prussia to the
Neufchatel dispute.

A letter from. Marseilles gave some particulars
concerning the Grand Duke Constantine's proceed-
ings in that city. It says :—" On Tuesday morn-
ing, the Prince, accompanied by the awhorities and
by his suit, went to the new port, where they em-
barked on board the Hermus steamer, and took an
excursion in the roadstead. After having proceeded
as far as opposite the Prado, the steamers turned
round and steered towards the new port. When the
steamer was passing between the Isles, a signal was
given and the large mine of the Froul was made to
explode. The detonation was made exceedingly
loud, and a column of thick smoke was thrown up,
which, for several minutes, comp'etely enveloped
the part of the Ile de Ratonneau situated below the
fort. This difficult operation was attended with
perfect success, and it is calculated that the part of
the bill detached was riot less than 150,000 cubic
metres. An immense number of persons had
embarked in steamers and boats to witness the
operation. The Grand Duke afterwards pro-
ceeded to the port of La Joliette, and after having
visited the-new docks returned to.the Hotel d'Orient.
A little after three o'clock, bis Imperial Highness
went to Mempenti, to visit the extensive foundry
at that place. He was received by the director and
other members of the company, and visited in de-
tail the different parts of the establishment. In the
evening, the Prince and his suite vi4ted the theatre."

The ko!lowing telegraphic despa,tches have been
received in Paris :

"MARSEILLES, April 20.—The representation at
the theatre, in honour of tae Grand Duke Constan-
tine, was of a most brilliant description. To-day,
after a religious service in the Greek chapel, the
Prince left Marseilles, having made considerable
donations. He will arrive at Lyons at a quarter
past sit."

" VIENNA, April 28.—An imperial decision has
ordered the government to take into consideration
whether it will not be advisable to suspend all new
joint-stock enterprises during the present monetary
crisis. The result is to be published without delay.'
" BERNE, April 29th.—The Federal Council has
authorised unanimously the signing of the treaty.
Two members proposed to submit at once the
question to the Federal Assembly, with a recom-
mendation in its favour."

" BEENE, April 30th.—The Federal. Council has
decreed the immediate publication of the treaty, as
also of an annexed protocol, adding to it the tenor
of the primitive demands of Prussia and the first
instructions given to Dr. Kern."

I heard two or three days ago (says the Times
Paris correspondent) that the Prase would, .on the
very day of the Grand Duke's entry, contain an
article on the English alliance, and that this article
would be, if not written, at all events inspired, by
a personage of exalted rank, whose dislike of all
that is Russian is very strong. The article has ap-
peared in the Presse of this evening, and the piper
began to be sold at the very moment the Grand
Duke was passing. It begins with this phrwe

"The alliance of England and France is one of the
fundamental bases of European civilisation. The day it
is seriously disturbed the same blow will di-turb the en-
tire edifice. We must then take care to lay a hand on that
corner stone, for its fall would be alike fatal to both coun-
tries. The community of their interests is evident, and it
is the blind only who will not recognise it. Whoever sees
'and understands must not allow his eyes or his thougbts
to be divef,ed from this great object by petty obstacles."
This is the concluding passage :

" Democratic France is the ally of free England. We
recognise in this alliance the great political necessity of
the 19th century, and we hail it as the pledge and the
security of the future."
