guests return to their respective districts, and relate
all the wonders they saw at the Tuileries. The fol-
lowing is a brief description of the interesting

scene :

"At one o'clock the exhibitors, who had received notice
to attend, assembled in the Salle des Markhaux, to the
number of more than eight hundred. They had been pre-
ceded by the members of the jury, with their President,
Baron Thenard. These gentlemen took their places at the
left of the space reserved for their Majesties. Shortly after•
wards the King, wearing the uniform of the National Guard,
the Queen, her Royal Highness Madame Adelaide, and the
Dukes de N6mours and de Montpensier, entered the hall;
they were followed by the Ministers of Commerce, Interior,
and Finances, the Prefect of the Seine, and the. Commander-
in Chief of the National Guards of the Seine. The King, on
his entering the hall, was received with a loud burst of loyal
acclamation. His Majesty took his seat at a few paces frum
the grand balcony facing the garden; the Minister of Com-
merce, assisted by his Secretary-General, M. Paganel, and M.
SenarrDirector of Commerce, took his place at the right of the
King. Baron TUnard then advanced, and read a speech, in
which he enumerated the principal results obtained by the
manufacturing industy of France, during the last five years,
and the progress evinced by the exhibition of 1844. The
King replied in a short and very impressive speech, declaring
the intense satisfaction that he felt at these results, and the
warm interest that he took in all matters of national indus•
try. This speech was received with great enthusiasm. The
distribution of the rewards then commenced, the King, in
every instance, bestowing the medal with his own hands,
and addressing to each person some flattering words of en-
couragement. The distribution lasted five hours, curing the
whole Of which time the King remained standing, without,
however, appearing to suffer from fatigue. At half-past
five, the King, and the other members of the Royal Family
who were present, proceeded to the Great Gallery of the
Louvre, where a table had been laid out for two hundred
guests. Amongst the persons invited to dine with their Ma-
jesties were the three Ministers, already mentioned, Lieut.-
Gen. Jacqueminot, Lieut.-Gen. ebastiani, the Count de Ram-
buteau, the Count de Montalivet, the Prefect of Police, the
Aides-de-Camp and orderly officers of his Majesty, and his
head librarian, the members of the jury, amid such of the ex-
hibitors as had received the decoration of the Legion of
Honour or the gold medal. During the dinner symphonies
were executed by a military band placed in the middle of the
gallery. During the dessert the King rose and proposed the
following toast Honour to the Exhibition of 1844—Pros-
perity to French Industry.' These words, which were pro-
nounced in a firm voice, were followed by repeated cries of
Viet /c Roi,'''Five la Famille Royale. The Ministers of
Commerce and Finances then gave successively The King,'
The Queen and the Royal Family,' in the midst of the most
enthusiastic acclamations. At half-past seven the King
quitted the gallery, accompanied by the Queen and the other
members of the Royal Family, and followed by all the guests,
and proceeded to the grand balcony, in front of the garden,
in order to honour the concert with his presence. By the or-
ders of his Majesty, the exhibitors were placed at the win-
dows of the Pavillon de Fiore. Some had followed the King
to the first floor ; others were in the rooms above, which had
been prepared for his Royal Highness the Duke de Mont-
pensier."

Accounts from Belgium state, that a decree has
been issued, by which Prussian merchantmen are to
be subjected, in the Belgian ports, to the amount
of tonnage and pilotage payable under existing
treaties by nations which are not favoured. The re-
imbursement of the Scheldt toll is suspended as far
as regards Prussian vessels. The effect of this decree
will be pretty nearly to exclude Prussian shipping
from the Scheldt. Prussia, it is thought will reta-
liate for these apparently hostile proceedings.
