XIV. has just been enriched with a new museum, the Museum of Painted Glass. Five hundred specimens, admirable in design, composition, colour, and transparency, have just been placed in the large windows of the rooms called the " Appartements de llenri IV." They come from French, Flemish, Dutch, and German manufactories of the 15th and 10th centuries. The Louvre will be complete when it shall have received in the Museum of Ancient Tapestry the rare and beautiful specimens which are about to be transferred there.  It is, I believe, settled that Blondin is to be permitted to perform a most daring but dangerous fex on the day of the Emperor's fete (Wednesday next)  _ . The permission has been accorded at Blondin's own special request. Ile asked to be allowed to run across from the top of the Tuileries to the Arc de l'Etoile. This proposition was refused, but he will go through various performances ou a tight rope from the summit of the Palais Bourbon to the top of the church of the Madeleine. A resting point will be erected on the summit of the Luxor obelisk in the Plac de la Concorde, which is about midway. The Genoa Gazette gives some statistics relative to the emigration of Italian subjects, from which it appears that the number of Italians established in France is 76,500 ; in Algeria, 7,400 ; in England, 4,500 ; in Switzerland, 13,800 ; in Egypt, 15,000 ; Tunis, 6,000 ; United States, 40,000 ; Brazil, 18,000 ; Buenos Ayres, 10,000 ; Rosario di Santafe, 10,000 ; and Peru, 8,000. The total number of Italian subjects disseminated in the new world is estimated at 100,000. It is remarked that the case is the reverse of that applicable to the Irish and German emigrants, who leave their native country without any idea of ever returning to it. Italian emigrants, like French emigrants, go to seek their fortunes in distant countries, with the hope of enjoying the fruits of their industry in their native land.  An incident, which created a powerful sensation in Paris, has taken place at the tribunal of the Seine. M. Pijon, a barrister of eminence, while pleading for his client was suddenly attacked with an apoplectic fit. He could scarcely articulate, his face became pale and cold like marble, and he fell against the bench. Lethargy succeeded, and it is said to-day that he is still in a dangerous state. A man named Pierre Bernard, 65 years of age, residing at Challais, has just committed suicide, who, it appears, had a penchant or monomania for hhanging.foreiasmade lfa,d beuartr shwi er was lyaaersa ar t cuteariidg oopwt heu His a itt sit me familypted, mae p le Hyd: kt had ao dhw haghimself, gg_ his propensity, took care never to have any rope about the house. A day or two ago, however, he returned home in a state of intoxication, and seeing a rope which had been inadvertently left in the garden, he took it into an out-house and hanged himself to a beam.

The Jockey Club has taken steps for the manufacture of the cup to be given to the winner of the Great Prize of 1867. The committee, composed of Messrs. Delamarre, Reiset, and Daru, invited the jewellers of Paris to compete for its manufacture. More than sixty designs were sent in, three of which were the most approved of. The Paris papers have not quite exhausted their comments upon the King ofyrussia's speech.
