On Monday, the King and Queen of the French, the
Duchess of Orleans, and H. R. H. the Count de Paris yester-
day 'visited the Exhibition of National Industry. Soon after
their arrival, they were joined by H. IL H. the Duke de Ne-
mours. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess de Nemours
and Madame Adelaide also visited the Exhibition, but they
were not with theiu Majesties. The King, who led the
Count de Paris by the hand, was saluted freque'ntly with
crie of " Vive le Roi !" " Vive la Reine !" " Vive le Comte
de Paris !" " Vive la Duchesse d'Orleans !" Their Majesties
directed their attention chiefly to the cutlery, bronzes, and
lamps, and examined closely the process of gilding by elec-
tricity, invented by M. Ruolz. An experiment was per-
formed before the royal party. During the visit, which
lasted from half-past one to half-past five, the King appeared
to take great interest in explaining to his grandson, the
Comte de Paris, several of the objects which excited the
attention of the young Prince.
The King, previously to visiting the Exhibition, presided
at a Council of Ministers at the Tuileries.

A letter from St. Petersburgh, of May 26, states that the
Government has just granted to M. Theodore Pasnilau, a
merchant= of Toboisk, an authorisation to establish steam-
boats in Siberia, on the Lake of Baikal, and the rivers Ab,
Tobol, Irtish, Jenissei, and Lena, on condition that two boats
shall commence plying before the end of the year. The build-
ing of these two vessels, to be called the Emperor Nicholas
and the Czarewitch is now going on. They will be the first
steamers introduced into Siberia.

M. Balfe having dedicated his score of the Pelts d'Amottr
to the King, his Majesty has sent him a large gold medal,
bearing his profile, in token of his satisfaction. . . .

The death of the Duke of Angouleme is now positively an-
nounced. .He died at Goritz at eleven o'clock in the morning
of the 3d inst., and the French Court, it is said, will go into

Paris.

In the Chamber of Peers, on Monday, the Bill for the re-
gulation of prisons, as recently passed by the Chamber of De-
puties, was presented by the Minister of the Interior.
The storm of Sunday destroyed the whole of the fruit of
the commune of Montreuil, so famed for its peaches and other
garden produce. Some of the hailstones are described as hav-
ing been as large as musket balls, and the trees themselves
have suffered so much, that next year's crop is compromised.
The duration of the storm at Montreuil was only seven mi-
nutes. At Saint Mande, a wooden dancing-room was nearly
destroyed.
We learn from Berlin that a Polish nobleman, Baron de
Grzymala-Eulouritz, residing near Odessa, touched by the
unfortunate condition into which the Jews of the western
frontier of Russia will be thrown by the late ukase, ordering
them to remove into the interior of the country, is about. to
remove 100 families into the province of the Cherson, where
he has already had houses prepared for their reception, and
where he will furnish them with tools and the first necessa
ries of life.
