CONGRESS- OF THE RoTHSCHILDs.
The congress proposed by the emperor of the
French has, so far, not been convened. But an.
| other congress, perhaps reaching further ana OF
more influence than the poepdrtefS and scrlbblefs
of dplomatics, has lately met at lsch, and It's I'M
portaut transactions may be felt all over Europe
Members Of all the houses of the Rothschilds
| from Frankfort, Paris, London, Vienna, naples
and their branches, met there in council TO deLln-
crate which course these money majestles onght 10
pursue, in consideration of the political changes
affairs of Italy, Austria France and Mexico, Iur-
| key and America were eagerly discussed; the
new houses, which begin to compete with the re-
nowned bankers, as Erlanger IN rfanklort, AP
/ penheimer, in Cologne, and host of minors, were
| duly sifted and considered; the determination OF
Prussia to establish branches of the Berlin national
/ bank in Frankfort, Cassel, Hamburg and other
| German commercial centers, was notlost sight OF ;
and though not initiated in the resolutions that
passed at that meeting, it is no secret that i'm
/ portant conclusions have been arrived at.
/ 1t is not without significance that they met on
Austrian territory, instead OF IN Germany. Inc
Rothschilds always favored Austria more than
/ Prussia. They were the deus en- 71ldchlnd who
many a time saved the imperial treasury from i'm
| pending bankruptcy. Baron Charles OF our city,

measures Of the Prussan generals during the hos

pleaded the cause of his fellow IN Berlin
and won golden opinions of them. and was unWll-
ling to fetch any longer the chestnuts out of the
i fire, Z as the German adage says.
But the family council resolved upon his re,
naming in Frakiort and he willingly submitted
to the vote of the majority to the great rejoicing
of cur citizens. If he had left, it was asserted
that several hundred wealthy families would have
| followed his example, as the Franktortians are
i afraid of the Prussan military system. Still the
i barons are said to have agreed not TO accept or
hold any longer, the consul generalships intrusted
i to them by most of the great powers OF Europe.
/ Charles, as Austrian consul general in Frankfort,
i and James, as Prussan consul general in Paris,
have made so many dis8greeable experiences du-
ring the late German crisis, that they think they
/ can very well do without the fees of cOnsus, and
are willing to resign.

| fortiaus as much as possible 1t is true Dechend,
| the president of the board of directors of the
Prussiah National Bank, was lately here to collect
/ information for the establishment of branch Of
| this mighty institution in our city-a procedure
/ much disliked by our great bankers.
| Yet he was soon followed by the Prussian sec
rotary of the treasury, Baron Heydt, and his
brother banker from Elberfeld, to see what share
and interest our banking houses would take in the
new loan of forty millions th0lers just approved
| by the PIussan parliament This is certainly an
act Of politeness and good will which ought not to
| be sighted.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
On Sunday morning after first-ratef breakfast
at the well furnished table Of the Freres Pr0Uen-
| caltg I betook myself to the Champ de Mars,
| where the grand exposition of 1867 is now being
| prepared for its motley contents. | went again
1 on Monday and made myself master of all the de-
tails Of the work, which is really progressing very
/ rapidly Immense changes have been made since
| Hooked at it only about three weeks ago.
4 The exposition is not going to be merely one
large building by any means. The building itself
will only be like large planet with a circle Of
smaller The whole thing will cover
| an immense area Of ground, and the place at pre-
sent seems more like the site of small town than
of an exhibition, as we usually term the mean
ing of the word, The whole vast field Of Mars,
where for years the French army has been in the
habit of having its parades and inspections, where
Napoleon the little corporal, mustered his battal
ions and harangued his legiOns before leading
them on to Austeritz and Jena, is now taken up
with what is to be the great show place of the
commerce and industry Of all nations. The place
of war has been transformed into an abode of
peace. The sword according to the biblical
prophecy, has been beaten into the plow-share,
For how long, wonder2 Never mind; it is best
not to rush forward too far. Let u.s. as the French
say be content with the present. and laugh and
feast while we may. So, hey for the exhibit
ton.
There are three great ways for reaching the
World g fair, but the best view is obtained by fol-
lowing the broad avenue which leads down from
the Champs Elysees, By this route the visitors
will be presented by sudden coup d'g1, with
magnificent view Of the buildings and all its sur
roundings. This avenue debouches on little hill,
from the crest of which you look down on the
busy scene which the great old Champ de Mars
now presents. Yon see the central building, which
is a vast eclipse, built of brick and faced with
stone, and Astounding in glass and iron arches to
infnity. The whole place is a series of eclipses,
within the ntbnr FlnwpF Gar and FINN
tains, with delicious walks, (as they are going to
he) hprdered with trees, separating the various
lines of structure. Each tree, which is trans
planted whole, costs about $50, so some idea may
be formed from this what the whole thing will
cost, The field Of Mars had hitherto been barren
waste covered with a seanty crop of grass-but it
Will now be magnificent park with gardens and
portcoes and riYnlets and fountains most beauti-
| full to behold.
Every nation has space marked for it, and the
scene, as saw 1t IN its abnormal condition, looks
more like collection of building lots with the
different tenements marked Off than anything else
to which Icould draw parallel. But all this will

France.n The extent of the avenues, alleys, aud
| garden walks is to be something fabulous, and
\ will at the lowest estimate exceed sixty miles,
Chairs on wheels are to be moved slowly by ma
chinery over the entire building, so that the visitor
may be able to travel through the entire structure
and look at everything from his comfortable seat
without being subjected to any unnecessary IA
j
have good deal of work cut out for them.
ecialdepartmentsa are laid out for every distinct
article Of merchandise and manufacture. AS an
| instance Of this may mention the chocolate de-
| partment Here the visitor will imagine himself
to be in the tropics and under the burning sun of
one of the West India islands, for all the atteD-
| dant circumstances will lead to such belief on
| his part In the middle of this section will be a
cocoa tree in full lnXurianee and near it lectu-
rer will explain all about the manufacture of the
| article, by the aid of the necessary machinery,
which will be near at hand. The visitor will thus
be able to follow up the whole process, from see
ing the berry on the tree, to witnessing its gather
ing, stripping, pressing, drying and so on, until
he Is provided with cup of chocolate to refresh
him for his exertions and show him how the pro,
| cess eliminates Similar places will be provided
| for other articles, and the plan will no doubt
prove as successful as its novelty deserves. 1t is
too early in the day now to speak of the separate
/ departments, and what is going to be done with
/ regard to them, but the plans | have seen are
| good in the extreme,
| Everything will be on grand scale. There is
| going to be church and cafe cbantdnte, q
| chapel and circus, M Egyptian pyramid and q
steam engiBe--in fact every coutrariety you coulG
| imagine. The emperor's kosh will be a magnif
/ centAddition to the general building. The Egyp
! tan quarter will be also one Of the principal at
fractions as besides the industry it will display Of
that pet kingdom of Napoleon, tile native Egyp
| tians will be seen outside at work as they are ac
| customea in their own country, and the Nile will
be represented by small portion of the Seine
