(Prom our own Correspondent.) 
Paris, Thursday, July 20. 
>W11. The Emperor tins given this time an unanswerable 
reply to his detractors. Their exclamation constantly was, in 
■peaking of the tranquillity of France, and particularly of 
Paris, “ AttencUz, attendez — let him 6end tho urmy for three 
days out of Paris, el noun verrons, but he dare not do it." 
Well, he has sent tho troops out of Paris, for even the duty at 
the Palace and elsewhere is now actually performed by the 
Municipal Guards, and what is the consequences ? Paris, 
which in the pacific reign of Louis Philippe, was never a 
month without an cmeute or disturbance of some kind, is as 
tranquil and freo from disorder as the quietest town in the 
British dominions. Without the least extravagant admira- 
tion of tho present Prcncli government, it Is impossible not to 
seo that Napoleon has touched some chord in the heart of 
the nation which renders him popular, and enables him to set 
faction at defiance. 
Ills late farewell proclamation to tho army, which seems 
littlo noticed in F.ngland, produced an immense effect in 
Paris. Scarcely was it posted up on the walls of the capital, 
when groups formed around it, and tho universal feeling it 
excited cannot bn belter described than by the following sen- 
tence which fell from a bearded workman, like most of his 
class in Paris an ex-militairo : — “ Cn rlrvrult etro ecrit en 
lettree d'or," Tho Emperor, in fact, is a tnan of few words ; 
but when ho does speak ho makes everybody understand 
him. IIow devoutly you must wish Ills brovlty had a 
few imitators “ somewhere,” if you ever uttempt to wado 
through tho columns of your Purliumontary debates. But, 
to come back to our “ muttons,” the mention of Aus- 
terlltz, Ky Inn , Moscow, In the proclamation, Is said to 
have given offence, not only in Austila and Prussia, but in 
England. Why, it would ho difficult to say ; but without any 
doubt, they wero used deliberately utid designedly, being in- 
tended to show Europe tlmt he, at least, intended to make a 
fttand-np fight, and no mistake. These words have a special 
significance, at u moment when there is further talk of 
renewed negotiations, and show that France will be no party 
to mystifications which were before suffered to last too long. 
A young Russian nobleman, Count S , who had the 
misfortune to remain behind his countryman in their loto 
general emigration par ordre from Paris, was unlucky enough 
to lose, a few nights ago, nearly 100,000 francs at the gaming 
table. Tho nffulr is milking some noise, as unfair play is sus- 
pected, (Jumbling, indeed, is known to lie carried on in Paris 
lo a frightful extent hi private Circles, and tho police reports 
to tho government arc stilted lo show, tlmt larger sums are 
nclimlly lost In this city at present, than when the gaming- 
houses wore publicly open. Tho presence of police agents in 
any case of unfair play was then, at lenst, a security that, ir a 
man or woman (for many of tho gontler sox were constant 
visitors at Frascati) was ruined, It was alien regie ; but at 
present, ns the pluying is carried on in secret, there is no pro- 
tection save in tho honour of tho playore, which just now 
stands rather low. 
The lute terrible thunderstorm, in addition to the damage 
it caused iu other parts of Paris, is found to have inflicted 
considerable injury on tbo odifleo In progress fur the exhibi- 
tion next year, in tho Chumps Klys6*. The displacement of 
tho stones was nt first set down as the effect of the violence of 
the wind, but it is now ascertained to have been occasioned by 
tho electric fluid, attracted by tho immense quantity of iron, 
which forms so large n share in the roof of the building. Tho 
damage will not, howover, delay the period of opening, though 
it will cost a few thousands to repair; an obstncle of little 
consequonco in this country, whore, luckily for tho improve- 
ments of Paris', wo lmvo no Joseph Humes, nor Williams’s to 
ovorlmul tho estimates every year. It may not be very 
palatable In England to say so, but tlic truth is, despotism has 
dono moro for the improvement and splondour of Paris, in a 
couple of years under Napoleon, than any French constitu- 
tional govornmont would lmvo dared to do In a century. 
Tho proprietors of tho Vnri6t6s, Mr. B., has appealed 
against tho decision of tho Tribunal de Commerce, which 
condemned him to pay tho debts contracted by M. Carpier, 
and two or throe other directors, to whom ho had previously 
lot tho theatro. Thoso debts amount to upwards of £3i>, DUO, 
but what tho final decision will ho tliero is, of course, 
yet no knowing. But, it will cause some surprize 
if the Superior Court rovorsoa tho judgment, though all the 
world are unanimous in pronouncing it flagrantly unjust. A 
writer in the Figaro says on this subject: — “Some of our 
tender hearted contemporaries are deeply touched with the 
ruin “ of Mr. B.’’ Ho ro-nssurod, good Scriberius — 
don’t take on so. Un vrai gi nlilliomvic Anglais is not so 
easily ruined. Mr. B. is master of a fortune of between 
twenty and thirty thousand pounds sterling a-year, and his 
stud of racers would purchase all tho theatres in Paris. His 
famous * West Australian’ won the two greatest races known 
on the English tuiT, and besides the honour of carrying off 
tho blue-ribbon of tho sportsman.) tho Great Derby put 
somewhere about a million of francs (£40,000) into his 
masters’ pocket. So you 6ee, good Scriberius, the Variet6s 
will never send this unfortunate gentleman to Cllchy, nor 
even keep him inveko for an additional half hour. I (Figaro) 
indeed know what might bo done iu Ins case ; but I wdl not 
give him even a hint of my secret, under nt least £10,000, and 
very cheap too !" So much for Figaro. The gentleman in ques- 
tion was, however, really unfortunate in fulling into the hands of 
such barbarians ns his directors, for tho trash these individuals 
have accepted is, for the most part, positively indescribable for 
dulnoss nud stupidity. Tlioy ore now producing them at the 
into of three or four a-week. Most of them, however, are 
luckily “ strangled in life’s porch ” by the discerning public ; 
and thus this difficulty, the incubus on tho theatre, is rapidly 
disappearing. 
Tho cholera, you will be pleased to learn, is beginning to 
diminish, but Ims this week, unfortunately, made fatal havoc 
among tho higher classes, whom it had hitherto somewhat 
respected. On Friday night, at St. Cloud, Colonel Lebrun 
was carried off’, after an illnojs of only two hours. Deceased 
was the only son of the well-known member of the Directory, 
and one of the thrdo consuls appointed when Napoleon became 
First Consul. The deceased was a man of respectability and 
great wealth. His age wax upwards of seventy. Another 
well-known name has also fallen, M. de Las Cazes, sou of tho 
man, one of the low. 
“Amid the faithless, faithful only found,” 
who attended Napoleon in his oxile, and in his last hours at 
St. Helena. M. do Las Cozes also expired very suddeuly. 
Another death, from the same dire pestilence, is that of M. 
de Sevrot. A young member of tho Senate 1ms also fallen 
beneath the f\9urrog Xoi/ior, barely n week after his mar- 
riage with tho daughter of Prince Murat. The papers have 
received from tho police a “recommendation’’ not to touch 
on the subject; and, in tlic absence of authentic information, 
the most exaggerated reports arc circulated on the subject. 
The mortality, olso, caused by typhus fever and chest dis- 
eases, owing to the most unseasonable weather during the 
lust few weeks, has been more than usually fatal. 
Accounts from tho provinces statu that u taste for horse 
racing is becoming very prevalent in the South. The other 
day a meeting took place at Rodez, in Languedoc, where, 
three or four years ago, the idea would have been scouted as 
preposterous. The business was of no importance, neither 
were t he horses or their owners known on the 3rd; but from 
the spirit with which tho whole affair was got up, tho 11 Sunny 
South ’’ gives just hopes to all lovers of the sport.

Rumoured Annexation op tub Sandwtoh Islands. 
— A despatch has been recoived from Mr. Gregg, our Com- 
missioner at the Sandwich Islunds, that the native Govern- 
ment throws itself into the hands of tho American pnrty for 
protection from French, English, and other foreign settlers. 
Tho Commissioner has been empowered to accept the island 
for the United States, and assure the native Government of 
American protection — Now York Courier and Enquirer. 
Death. — M. Emanuel Las Cazes, the son of the celebrated

Emigration from Plymouth— Plymouth, July 19.— 
The fltio new ship Lord Raglan, 923 tons register, Cuptaiu 
Flanagan, for Adelaide, and the Appoline, of 609 tons, for 
Melbourne, having embarked their respective complements of 
emigrants from the Government depot here, sailed on Sunday. 
The Lord Raglan belongs to Messrs. \V. Nicholson and Sous, 
of Sunderland, and has been fitted up on a most excellent plan, 
the result of the experience of Captain Lean, R.N., the’ 
Government emigration officer iu London. Among other 
advantages, one-third of each bed can be turned up from the 
sides of tho ship, so as to admit of a free passage two feet wide 
all round her, and thus secure nn effectual means of cleansing 
and ventilating tho vessel every /lay. Her emigrants, numbering 
3G9 souls, were under the charge of Surgeon Superintendent 
W. Brett. The Appoline is the property of Messrs. Thomson, 
Haukey, and Co., and is commanded by Captain Tomlins, who 
has made some very successful passages. While lying in the 
Sound these ships were visited by Sir Frederick Rogers, Bart,, 
one of the commissioners, who was accompanied by his wife. 
A large proportion of tlm emigrants in each of these ships was 
selected by Mr. J. B. Wilcocks, the agent for her Majesty’s 
Emigration Commissioners. The Isle of Thanet and the 
Pomona, also under charter, arc expected here lo embark emi- 
grants from the depot this week. They will be followed by 
the Patrician, for Sydney ; the Duchess of Northumberland, 
for Hobart Town ; the Clara, for Portland Bay ; and the Lady 
Ken n away , for Sydney; and the private passenger ships 
Orient, for Melbourne; the Vimeira, for Melbourne and 
Sydney ; the Anglesey, for Melbourne ; the Waterloo, for 
Sydney ; tho Derwentwater, for Van Diemen’s Land ; the 
Royal Stuart, for Now Zealand; and the Statesman’, for 
Melbourne.

An Interesting Masonic Bible. — A correspondent 
thus writes to ur “ It may not be known to you that the 
Freemasons of the 46th Regiment, now stationed in Windsor, 
have iu their possession the original Bible belonging to Lodge 
227 of the Irish Constitution, once In existence in that corps, 
upon which George Washington, afterwards Commander-In- 
Chief of tho army in the United States, was initiated into the 
rites of freomasonry. This book was twice taken in buttle ; 
once in 1777, during tho American war, and onco by the 
French, nt Dominica, in 1805, and each time honourably 
restored to tho lodge of the 46th, with a military escort as u 
guard of honour. Each ease of restoration was a scone of 
moral beauty— a triumphant vindication of the purity of 
masonic principles. The surprise and feelings of both officers 
nud men may be imagined when they perceived the flag of 
huce that announced this elegant compliment from their gal- 
lant opponents, but still nobler brethren, who offered, by the 
act, tho acknowledgment and homage of an enlightened nation 
to the purity, value, and utility of masonry. I am sure 
Brother Tyfte (Major), to whose charge this ‘jewel’ is 
entrusted, will allow his fellow-craft to view this, to tlipm, 
most interesting relic of days gone by, especially as it is again 
about to bravo tho daugers of active service. May God speed 
these gallant fellows wherever they go V’—From the Windsor 
and Eton Express, 15th July, 1854. 
HORTICULTURE. 
Oxford Amateur Rose Society — TI10 members of 
the above society, held their annual show ou Tuesday, iu a 
field near Holywell Church, Oxford. Spacious marquees 
were erected, where this tine old English flower was shown in 
all its beautiful varieties. Tbe blooms owing to the blight 
and scarcity of sunshine, were not so good as on former 
occasions. After the prizes were awarded, the members and 
friends to the number of fifty partook of an excellent dinner,
