i flags, showing the nations which con-
tributed to the exhibition. In the centre,

| lister of State was present, with the Leg
| islative Chambers, seated near the
| Throne. The Lord Mayor of London

| before in the afternoon, the roll
drums announced the approach of the
Emperor Eand Imperial cortege, pre-
coded by squHdrOns of Dragons,
cent guards andl trumpeters. The
Imperial party was conveyed in six

| Royal outriders came on in the adj
vance carriage in which the Emperor
was seated. This carriage was drawn
by eight horses, and contained the EN-
peror, Empress, Prince Imperial,
Prince Napoleon and one OF his sons,
There were thousands assembled
around the exhibition building, and
the approach OF the royal party was
| loudly cheered.
The Sultan of Turkey was present;
his cortege heralded by three car
riages containing Turkish officials of
great distinction. His carriages were
| drawn by eight horses each, led by ser

literally covered with gold, having

the time of Lous XIV. on the SultRn's
right hand sat his nephew and heir to
the throne; in front His Majesty, his
son and second nephew. They received
! a warm welcome from the crowd. The
Sultan saluted the people by passing
| his hand from his mouth to his feZe.
| The ladies attached TO the French
court were dressed in magnificent cos
TUNES. The officers of NapOleon's
household were in full uniform. They
entered the building and took their
places behind the throne. Next came
| Napoleon, having the Sultan on his
right; Empress Eugene came next, fol-
lowed by the Prince of Wales, Prince
Imperial OF France, Prince Royal OF
Prussia, Prince Humbert OF Italy,
Princess Mathilde, Princess Napoleon,
Princess CioIilda, Duchess OF DOste,
he brother of the Tycoon Prince Won
1 Teak, and the Duke of Cambridge. Ma

robe of white satin, trimmed with sill
yer, and rare heavy diamond necklace.
| As the imperial Cortege entered the
building the orchestra, with full ch O.
rus, gave the Rossiui hymn to the EN-
peror. The Minister of State read TO
the Emperor the report of the juries on
the successful exhibitors, products, and
I objects exhibited by them, at the con-
clusion Napoleon rose from the throne
and iI loud clear VO ce said:
GentLemen-AIter an interval of twelve
years, l come for the second time to

| disIingui- he'd themselves i'll those
works which enrich nations, emhellish
life, and soften manners. The poets OF
antiquity sung praises of the great
games in which various nations assem-
bled to contest with Greece for prizes
in the race and other sports. What
would they say TO day, were they pres
ent at these olympic games of the
| whole world, and which nations of the
earth contend by force of intellect alone,
/ and seem TO launch themselves forth
simultaneously on an infinite career oil
progress towards an ideal which has
been necessarily approached, without
| ever being attained. From all parts CT
the earth have come representatives of
science, art and industry, who have
hastened to vie with each other, and we
may say people and kings have both
come to do honor to the efforts OF
labor, and crown them Gby their pres
ence with idehs OF Cancellation and
peace. Indeed, in these great assem-
blies which appear 10 have no other OBJ
ject than material interest, moral
sentiment always disengages itself from
competition of intelligence, senti-
ment of accord; and the nations thus
drawing near learn to know and esteem
each other; hatreds are eXtingnished;
the truth becomes more evident that
the proceeds OF each country contribute
to the prosperity of all. The exhibition
of 1867 may justly be termed universal,
for it contains elements of all riches.
Side by side with the latest improve
ments i'll modern art appear the pro-
ducts OF the remOtest ages, so they
represent at one and the same time the

which has been the object of patient
inquiries and serious study, that all
improvements might march forward to
science by turning the matter to ac-
count. Tue liberal cultivation of the
mind subdues vices, prevails over vul-
gar passion and liberal humanity. Let
us congratulate ourselves, gentleman,
on having received among us major
ity of the Sovereigns of Europe, and
SO many other distinguished visitors.
Let us be proud of having shown
| France as sue is, great, prosperous and
| free. One must be destitute of all pat
riotic facts who doubts her greatness,
and must close his eyes to evidence.
He who denies her prosperity must
understand our institutions.

also by name, the Prince Imperial,
