A great number of the Deputies of the South, representing the
localities to be traversed by the Bordeaux and Celle railroad, had
waited on the Minister of Public Works to call his attention to the
propriety of presenting the Bill relating to this line as soon as pos-
sible. The Minister replied that all the surveys were now com-
pleted, and that he should urge the Council of Ponts et Chaussees

M. Roland, the butcher, says Gatignani, who went to England
for the purpose of presenting to the Queen a round of beef from
Pere Goriot, the beeuf-gras, has returned to Paris delighted with
the reception that he met with in England. The Queen being at
Brighton, M. Roland proceeded to that place, and unpacked his
voluminous present in the presence of her Majesty and Prince Al-
bert. The Queen not only did M. Roland the honour to accept his
homage of respect, but in the most kind and gracious terms ex-
pressed her thanks. The attentions shown to M. Roland by some
of the most eminent butchers of London have, it appears, con-
vinced him of the sincerity of the entente cordiale.
