By this time you will have learned as much as I can
tell you respecting the Queen's arrival here. The recep-
tion was conducted with the strictest privacy. Her
Majesty's yacht was announced at Cherbourg at twenty
minutes to seven last evening, and the journey to the St.
Lazare terminus was accomplished by eight this morning.

sentence is very great ; indeed, the proprietor of La
Lante,'ne has gained general public sympathy. The
sentence is on the fact, of it vary e!Atrerne, but compared

Government will benefit by this procedure.
There will be a great review at Paris on the 14th, the day
preceding the Emperor's Fate. It has been currently
stated that his Majesty will issue an order of the day, or
some manifesto, which it is thought will be of a warlike
character. As no contradiction has appeared, the order may
be issued, but the reports of its character are purely specu-
lative. If the Emperor means war he will not declare it
before the time. If he thinks of postponing hostilities he
can gain little by stirring up hostile feelings in
Europe. According to the roparts of his agency
in the La Marmona affair at Florence, he has been
successful in lessening the chance of a good understanding
between Prussia, Austria, and Italy, and it would be
advisable to remain satisfied with this " triumph."
M. Emile 011ivier has followed the example of most
politicians, and gone to the waters of Vittel, in theVesges
Mountains. There he has been serenaded.
A great fire is reported from Dunkirk. The State Ware-
houses on the Quai de la Marine have caught fire, and are
still burning. Fifty thousand:pounds' worth of merchan-
dise belonging to private persons has already been de-
stroyed. The fire has been got under, and the danger to
the port has been overcome. No accident bas occurred.
It is not a little remarkable that the Irish Church
question is very commonly mistaken here for the greater
and more general question of the union between Church
and State. Moreover, those who know what the actual
question is still maintain that the entire issue is at stake.
They do not hold that the smaller question will lead to the
greater, but that both are immediately involved. This
doubtless arises from confounding the nature of the politi-
cal struggle in England with that which prevails in several
Darts of Europe.
Female education is making considerable progress here.
A young lady, Mdlle. Bees, has just passed the examina-
tion for the degree of Bachelor of Science. She is now
about to study medicine.
