Many foreigners naturally express a wish, during
their visit to Paris, says the Paris correspondent
of the Star, to be presen;l• at the celebration of
Divine service at the Chapel of the Tuileries, which
is regularly attended by their Majesties. Ido not
mean to impress strangers with the i lea that
tickets are eerily obtained ; still it is perfeely pos-
sible that, in reply to a respec fully worded appli-
cation addreSsed to the Chamberlain, the Duke de
Hassan°, now on leave of absence, in consequence
of the death of the duchess, but replaced by M. le
Comte de la Ferriere, those desirous of admission
will receive tickets, in which ca'e men must pre-
sent themselves at the chapel door a few minutes
before twelve in evening dress —that is, white tic
and dress coat ; and ladies in full morning costume.
You enter by the Cour dllouneur. Two Cent
Gardes in undress uniform—that is, blue tunics
without the cuirass, • white buckskins and jacg
boots, silver helmet, and musket grounded—are on
duty at each side of the chapel door, and point
out the way to the vestibule, which is lined by
powdered footmen, in green and gold liveries, who
take your ticket, and in silence relieve you of any
extra coat in which your person may be enve-
loped, and likewise take charge of your hat.
./i7l3:Beware of --offering them "'money. 's-in
this vestibule there is, moreover, a mysterious
personage in faultless black, who quietly takes you
in as you pass, and if your general aspect and get-
up fall beneath his standard of propriety he hints
to you in the most polite form of speech that the
chapel is,-unfortunately, overcrowded, and in fact,
gives you leave to return whence you came.
Having passed muster, however, you are shown to

your seat, and, if you are knowing, you will have
arrived in time, as the front places, and they are
few in number, are always given to early corners.
You have a few minutes to look about you, and
you will remark a master of the ceremonies, in
plum-coloured garments, every now and then
peeping through half the open door to see that all
is in order. The Imperial armchairs of crimson
velvet and gold are precisely opposite the altar
before each a prie-dieu, on the desk of which lies
an open missal. The doors of the pews which fill
the circular gallery by this time may be seen to
open, and each pew to fill rapidly with Court
dignitaries and their families. There is a certain
buzz of subdued whispers among the ladies, but
your attention is attitrted to the procession of the
almoners, each in the horgeous dress of canons of
St. Denis, the Grand Almoner distinguishable by
the plainness of his costume, which is that
of an ordinary bishop. Suddenly the fold-
ing doors are thrown open, the Cent
Gardes present arms ; you hear the Gentleman
usher announce the Emperor, but his Majesty has
not yet appeared; the cortge at this instant enters.
First come the Emperor's Chamberlains in scarlet
and gold uniforms, strongly reminding us of that
of our own military men ; next her Majesty's
Chamberlains, in blue and gold ; the masters of the
ceremonies, in plum-colour ; two equerries, in
dark green ; the Marshal Minister, otherwise
Comptroller of the Household (Vaillant) ; the
General-Commandant of the Palace (Rollin), and
the Aide-de-Camp in Waiting. A second time
the usher calls out " L'Empereur !" Silence in the
chapel ; for his majesty is severe on this point, and
does not tolerate the slightest whisper during
the service. The congregation rises. The Em-
peror, Empress, and Prince . Imperial enter—
his Majesty in uniform, and wearing the Grand
Cordon ; the Empress in morning dress, generally
in black, with small black lace mantilla as head-
dress. The " Kyrie Eleison" at once commences,
awl is invariably sung with exquisite taste and

feeling, accompanied only by stringed instruments,
the accompaniment subordinated to the voices.
The Emperor listens with profound attention to the
service, most especially following the .reading of
the g)spel and epistle of the day. The Empress
is Catholic at heart, and fervent in her ecstatic de-
votion to the forms of her Church.

The earliest settlers at Cannes were Lord
Brougham, Mr. Leader, and Mr. Woolfield.
A scene which is described by the New York
Nation as being "awful" took place in the house
of Representatives on the inst. A personal
quarrel had arisen between Mr. Donnelly, a repre-
sentative of Minnesota, and Mr. Washburne, of
Illinois, one of the oldest members of the House.
Mr. Donnelly addressed a long speech to his fellow
members, full of vituperation of the grossest kind.
The following passage will give a better idea of
Congressional eloquence as practised by Mr. Don-
nelly than any description :—" If there be in our
midst one low, sordid, vulgar soul, one barren of
mediocre intelligence, one heart .callous to every
generous emotion, one tongue leprous with slander,
one mouth which is like unto a den of foul beasts
giving forth deadly odours ; if there be here one
character, which, while blotched and spotted,
yet raves and rants and blackguards like a
prostitute ; if there be here one bold, bad,
empty, bellowing demagogue, it is the gentleman
from Illinois." Mr. Washburne retorted by calling
Mr. Donnelly " a member who is covered over with
crime and infamy, whose record is stained with
every fraud, whisky and other frauds—a man who
has proved false alike to his friends, his country,
his constituents, his politics, his religion, and his
God." On the day following this little interlude
the subject was again brotight before the house by
a third member, and after renewed personalities,
Mr. Donnelly asked the Speaker whether it would
be in order to invite the house to take a drink,
to which there were responses of " Amen," "My
whistle's dry," &c. The Speaker appears to
have tried to repress this outbreak, but ineffec-
tually. "We venture," remarks the Nation, "to
say that Mr. John Morrissey"—the prizefighter,
member for New York—" has never heard in his
experience, and he has associated with the worst
ruffians of both hemispheres . . . . so much vile
ribaldry from the lips of one man, in one place, as
the Legislature of this Christian, civilised country,
listened to by unanimous consent, last week, from
one of its own members, while the chief magistrate
was actually on trial in the next room for simple
violence and indecorum." Probably this same im-
pression had something to do with the verdict on
the 11th article of impeachment.

How much thought has been bestowed, and what ponder-
ous volumes written upon this plague of every household,
which is certainly and safely dispersed by a course of this
purifying, soothing, and tonic medicine without fear of re-
lapse. It acts directly on the stomach, liver, and bowels ;
more indirectly, though not less effectively, on the brain,
nerves, vessels, and glands, and so commands order
throughout the entire system that harmony dwells be-
tween each organ and its functions. Dyspepsia can now
no longer be the bugbear of the public since Holloway's
pills are fully competent to subdue the most chronic and
distressing cases of impaired digestion, and to restore the
miserable sufferer to health, strength, and cheerfulness.

The committee appointed by the c 41C011%r
what means may be best taken to diminish intemperance
further report as follows :
" The manner in which houses are conducted where
exciseable liquors are sold by retail would appear natu-
rally to depend on the chars titer of the persons entrusted
with the licenses, the value of the premises in which the
sale takes place, the hours during which they are open,
and the number of such houses in a neighbourhood.
"It is therefore desirable that every precaution should
be taken to ascertain the character of all persons applying
for licenses, that the houses are of sufficient value and
proper for the business, and that there is a reasonable pre-
sumption that, if licensed, the occupants may, with in-
dustry and honest dealing, obtain a living.
" Your committee therefore rc..ommend that all applica-
tins for licenses to sell leer, spirits, wines, cider, or
perry by retail be in the first instance made to the jus-
Cees in petty ses.sions. after notice to the chief con-
:table of the rac an.l th • other authorities now required •
i. - the filth Geo. e. 61, in re:peat of inns, alehouses, and
victualling-houses ; such notice to state the class of trade
for which the applicant wishes to be licensed, i.e., hotel,
inn, victualling-house, wine and spirit store, refreshment
rooms, or beerhonse ; and the discretion at present exer-
cised by the justices in granting licenses shall be extended
to al! licenses to be granted by them.
That all licensed houses be closed on Sundays, but
0o prevent inconvenience to the
.public, justices, where
they see fit, may, in their license, permit houses to be
opened on Sundays from one o'clock to three o'clock, and
from eight o'clock to ten o'clock p.m.
" That in the cases of innkeepers' licenses, and where
justices consider that the house is bond fide and reasonably
required as an inn for the entertainment of travellers, the
justices may accompany the grant of a license with a dis-
pensation as to hours, as to the whole or part of the house
and premises, providing that inch dispensation shall not
apply to nor include any tap-room, bar, or other place of
public resort for drinking. --
" That all applications for licenses or renewals, or objec-
tions thereto, shall be heard in open court, and the wit-
nesses, if necessary, may be examined on oath.
"That where application for a license is made for the
first time, if two-thirds of the owners or occupiers within
1500 yards object, the justices shall refuse the license, pro-
vided that the clerk of the justices has received from the
persons so objecting at least ten days' notice specifying the
objection.

"That when a person has had a license granted him for
new premises, and has within tliree years sold them for a
premium, increase of rent, or other valuable consideration,
he shall be disqualified for applying for ox, obtaining a
license for other new premises in the same county, city, or
place.

THE UNITED KINGDOM ALLIANCE.

The annual meeting of this society has been held in
Exeter Hall, the proceedings attracting a crowded
audience. Mr. B. Whits M.P., in presiding,
alluded to the general election which he said was looming
in the immediate future, and trusted their friends would
make the question of the Alliance the point on which they
would insist on candidates being right who asked their suf-
frages. Mr. W. Saunders moved, Professor Rolleston, of
Oxford University, seconded, and Mr. %Vest, a working man,
supported, the following resolution : " That this meeting
rejoices that legislation on the amended representation
of the people has cleared the way for the consideration
by Parliament of measures of social reform, especially
for the removal of legalised temptations to intem-
perance, the gravest question of domestic legislation ;
and the meeting earnestly expresses its hope and
trust that the working classes, in whose hands much
political power is now placed, will render their
united and cordial aid in returning representatives who
will support the principle of the Permissive Bill." Mr. S.
Pope moved, and Dr. F. R. Lees seconded : " That
this meeting regards the appalling amount of pauperism,
ignorance, and crime, with their consequent taxation,
as constituting an intolerable burden on the industrious
and sober portion of the community ; and as a vast
proportion of these evils is the direct result of the
liquor traffic, the meeting cars upon the Government
to fulfil the promises of various leading statesmen, by
introducing a bill dealing with the whole of the licensing
laws, with clauses giving power to the inhabitants of each
district to prevent the granting or renewing of licenses
within their boundaries, when a large majority may so
determine. That the chairman be respectfully requested
to forward a copy of this resolution to her Majesty's
Prime Minister, to the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, and to the Chancellor of the Exchequer."
The Rev. F. Kellett moved and the Rev. G. W. IrCree
seconded : "That this meeting, being specially interested
in the promotion of Alliance principles throughout the
metropolis, pledges itself to make use of all suitable means
for the spread of correct information, and especially for
promoting electoral co-operation in the various constituen-
cies, with a view to the support of candidates favourable
to the Permissive Bill, and legislation of a kindred descrip-
tion." The three resolutions were unanimously adopted,
and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro-
ceedings.

Captain Henry F. M'Killop, R.N., has been
selected by the Viceroy of. Egypt to reorganise his High-
ness's navy.

A treaty of amity and c mimerce between the
King of Sweden and Norway and the Supreme King of
Siam was signed on Monday at the Swedish Legation by
their respective plenipotentiaries, Baron Rothschild and
Sir John Bowring.

Mr. Thomas Cooper writes to the Lincoln Gazette :
" The Nottingham papers of Tuesday say lam dead. I
can assure you I don't think it is true. I don't remember
dying any day last week, though they say I died at Lin-
coln last Friday. 'Lord, lord,' as Falstaff says, how the
world is given to lying !'

The Prince of Wales, en route for Leeds, stopped
at the Leicester station, wliere he was waited on by the
Mayor and Town Council, and presented with an address,
inviting his Royal Highnes3 to be present at the next
exhibition of the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural
Societies to be held in that town in July next.
BISHOP OP LONDON'S FUND.—It appears that
the amount received on behalf of this fund since the com-
mencement of the year has been £13,430 55., of which
£12,025 18s. 11d. have been new subscriptions, and
£1,404 Gs. 11d. instalments. The Grocers' Company have
contributed £2,5C0 to the fund.

THE HORSE AND THE ELEPTIANT.—An English
menagerie, which had been exhibiting in Lyons, was leav-
ing that city a few days ago with a large elephant heading
the line of march. When the procession was passing the
Quai de Serin, a valuable horse coming in the opposite
direction was so alarmed at the sight of the enormous
animal that it took the bit in its teeth, and jumped over
the parapet to the lower quay and was killed (-al the spot.
The carriage was smashed to pieces, but the driver es-
caped unhurt.

THE IMPORTATION OF FOUEIGN CATTLE.—AII
Order in Council is published in a supplement of the Lon-
don Gazette to the effect that from and after to-day cattle,
the produce of Spain or Portugal, or of Normandy or
Brittany, may be landed at any port in Great Britain,
along the coast from the North Foreland, westwards, to
the Laud's End, and thence, northwards, to the Mull of
Cantyre, at places approve I by, and in conformity with
the regulations of, the Comm i zsloners of her Majesty's Cus-
toms, and on certain conditions which will be found in the
Gazette.

CARRYING GUNPOWDER ON A RAILWAY. -A
shocking occurrence happened recently on the Conlom-
miers branch of the Eastern Railway (France). A man
named Surdel got into a third-class carriage at Gretz(Seiue-
et-Marne), taking with him three kilos. of gunpowder for
blasting. Shortly after the train had moved on he pro-
ceeded to light his pipe, when a spark fell upon the
packet, and a dreadful explosion took place. A commer-
cial traveller, who was asleep in the next apartment,
was awoke by the noise, and saw the carriage on fire,
and Sardel jumping out on to the line. He himself got
out on the opposite side, and, making his way along the
steps, communicated with the guard, and the train WAS
stopped. The unfortunate author of the disaster was
taken up so seriously injured that after two days of
severe suffering he expired. The carriage was completely

consumed.
TILE BELIEF WITCHES. 'r The Limerick
_Reporter relates the following extraordinary occurrence :
During- the sitting of the petty sessions court on Friday
cry was raised by a woman outside.
On iagniring into the cause it appeared that a case was
Pendin,, in which a man named Roche charged two
others named Collins with an assault, and intended to
produce his father as a witness. The families of the
litigants are closely related, and the mother of the
collinses, indignant at the prospect of her sons being
sent to gaol, gave expression to ' her feelings in the
form of a malediction, praying that when old Roche left
the court he might be paralysed. The old man rushed
out of court, and owing probably to the shock which his
experienced,
