MOVEMENTS OF uUkAN STEAMERS
IMPROVEMENTS IN PARIS

Externally, the palatia dwellings which have
been erected in the last few wears are vastly more
elegant than the hOmey constr uctions which thew
nave supplanted; but, despite their stately fronts
plate glass windows, wide marble stairwavs lofty
ceilings, and Profuse Ornamentatinns they are en-
trey deficient in the comfort which the Parisians
IKE as well as other people. Hundreds of quiet
citizens, many of whom have passed half their lives
IN one residence are constantly receiving notice to
quit tenemens which are to be demolished and are
compelled to seek quarters elsewhere. Numerous
familles who have hitherto paid rents, ranging
from one to three thousand francs per annum for
commodlous and suitable apartments now ascer-
tam, to their CONSERVATION, that the same amount
| OF space In newly finished 'fpaace," cannot be
obtained for less than double triple and sometimes
| quadruple, the sup they have been accustomed to
| pay. In exchange for their snug quarters, on the
second or third floor OF quiet house, with perhaps
DIT OF garden attached, in which the children are
| Tree to roll on the grass they must procure rooms
on the fourth or nth story of marble barrack in
habited by colony of tenants, with list of Dra-
| conan regulations affixed conditions to the
lease, among which are often such prohibitions as
| the following:
No fower-pots to be placed in the windows.
No carpets to be shaken after 10 A. NJ
No water to be carried up stairs after A. NJ
| NO marketing, groceries, or other household ne
nessaries to be brought by shopmen or errand bows
after 10 A. NJ.
No dogs, cats, parrots, &c, to be kept by tenants
| Gas IN the stairway turned off at II p M and
tenants coming in after midnight to paw the con-
| cerage (house porter) ten sous indemnity.
| Ihere IS one stipulation made sine qua non by
| some landlords, which is much more extraordinary
| than any OF those above cited. "Chidren are pro-
hibited." That is to say, if the family proposing
| to lease the apartments be not entirely composed
OF adults, it is refused admission If all the land
lords In France should, in the plentitude of their
tyranny, determine to adopt this singular clause in
business contract, the French Government would
soon be able to furnish plausible reason for the
decrease in the population of the country.
BARON RICAsoLL-Of the successor of Cavour in
the Sandman Ministry, the Turin correspondent of
the London Times writes follows:
"Ricasoli is decidedly the best man to sit at the
head OF the Government. He is grand segneur
by right OF birth, wealth, habit and principle 1t
is impossible to reconcile the patriot and the cop
servative to greater perfection. He is one of the
many in Italy anxious to dissociate national from
social revolution; one of those Italians who wanted
to conquer their country that they might consti-
tute, not disorganiZe it. Precisely because the
Baron is the man of order and discipline he is ha
ted and dreaded by the out-and-out revolutionary
party, even more than his great predecessor. The
rage with which the Journals of Guerrazzi and
Mazzni fell foul of him, even before Cavour's clay
was cold, shows the wisdom of the kings and the
nations choice. Ricasoli is the man. the anarch-
lists well know, to curb and chastise them. There
is something in his cold gray ewes, in his deeply
furrowed face, in his spare, dried up, somewhat
gaunt frame that speaks of undaunted courage and
unswerving resolution. II somewhat reminds of
Gen. Jackson, the man whose character the Amer

THE VIsIToRs' Book AT THE BANK OF ENGLAND
1 was much amused by the inspection of the bank
note autograph bnoks-two splenddly- y-bound folio
| volumes, carefully bagged over with linen covers
Each leaf is embeshed with beautiful y-illumin-
ated border, exactly surrounding the space re-
quired to attach bank-note. When any dis.in-
gushed visitor arrives he is requested to place his
| autograph to unsigned note, which is immedi-
ately pasted over of the open spaces. One of
these volumes is quite full, and the other nearly
half full. They thus illustrated by the sigma
lures of various royal and noble personages. That
of "Victoria Regina" does not appear; but those
| of Napoleon Ill, Henry ", the Kings of Sweden.
Portugal, and Prussia, whole brigade of German
Princes, Ambassadors from Siam, Persia, Turkey

our higher nobility. Though there are some scien-
uhc names, as Arenberg and Chevalier, there are
out lew OF our literary celebrities. Among. them
observed those of Lady Sale and Mahomet Ali, the
