th« sojourn of the King of the Belgians and the King of 
Portugal has been remarked. The great favourite of thc/ete 
is unquestionably his Royal Highness Priuco Albert, whose 
good looks, and far more his unaffected affability, have 
charmed tout U mondr. All the letters from Boulogne re- 
ceived here teem with accounts of his movements and con- 
versation ; and from the general testimony of all who have 
had the honour to approach him, it would be quite impos- 
sible to make a more favourable impression than that 
created by his Royal Highness on all classes, not omitting 
the ladios. With a tact that does much credit to his know- 
ledge of mankind, the Prince is said to have thrown aside 
the reserve and formality which is, perhaps, nocessarily im- 
posed upon royalty on your side of the water ; and is not less 
distinguished for his general courtesy and condescension in 
public, than for his amiable cordiality of manner and kind 
deportment to all around him. lie carries back with 
him to England golden opinions, not only of his manners, 
(which go for much in France), but of his character, accom- 
plishments, and excellent sense. 'J ho proceedings of the 
Emperor on this visit wore marked by the sagacity which 
usually dUtinguiduM him ; unostentatious respect an 1 atten- 
tion towards his illustrious guest were every wh ere visible, 
and no doubt produced on the Prince an impression no less 
favourable than thut he left behind him. it is positively 
stated that hit Royal Highness has accepted an invitation, on 
the part of his Miyesty, to visit Paris next summer, during 
tiie period of the ** National Exhibition." This is far from 
improbable, but I cannot vouch for the truth of the rumour. 
It seems, however, certain that the King of the Belgians,

measure of singularity in this atrocious case, the verdict of 
the jury should not be forgotten. It was — “Guilty, with 
extenuating circumstances 11“ Many of the verdicts iu France 
are, in fact, only calculated to bring the system of trial by 
jury' into complete contempt; but this stands out in exem- 
plary and shameful disregard of justice and feeling. 
The race-course, to which allusion has already been made 
as in course of formation at Lougchamps, between the western 
side of the Boia de Boulogne and the banks of the Seine, is 
now completed. The ground, a fine soft, springy turf, is 
described by cognoscenti as worthy of Epsom or Newmarket, 
while the general scenery, accommodation for spectators, &c., 
is all that the most exigennt need require. It is expected 
that the Paris October races will inaugurate the race-course, 
and that the hard, dusty old Champ de Mars, with its san- 
guinary historical fxnfxiirova, will never again be employed 
for a purpose for which it is so entirely' unfit. 
THE REVIEW AT ST. OMER. 
( By Submarine and European Tclgraph ). 
His Majesty the Emperor and his Royal Highness Prince 
Albert reviewed the troops on Wednesday in the Plains de 
Biuyf>res. All the French generals were presented to Prince 
Albert, who, iu addressing them, expressed groat satisfaction 
at the appearance and discipline of the troop*, and his hope 
for a continued entente cord i ulc between the two nations. 
The royal party then returned to Boulogne. Another re- 
view took place on Thursday at Honvault. 
whoso stay was so unluckily abridged by the dislocation of 
his Cabinet at this critical moment, lias promised to renew 
his visit ; and it is by no moans unlikely that we may' have a 
little congress of crowned heads here in Paris next year. All 
aocoimts agree that the Emperor's stylo of receiving his 
visitors was light royal, and that the noble military array on 
the occasion was iu every way worthy of Franco and of the 
name of Napoleon. 
The “ book" uf the day here just now is the fourth volume 
of Dr. Veron’s Memoirs, which contains, mixed up with much 
ogotism, many curious details on subjects in which everybody 
finds an interest. Beginning with the luto royal family, he 
gives letters of curious interest, the most remarkable feature 
of which, considering the doctor's position, is, that they con- 
tain not a word that reflects discredit on that unfortunate 
family, who appear, both iu prosperity and exile, to be the 
butt of more falsehood And malignity than were ever directed 
against a single name. Louis Philippe was not a great 
man, nor was lie a fitting ruler for Franco, which requires a 
firmness aud grandeur of mind in her monarch which he 
never possessed. But had ho boon the cuuniug, selfish, and 
unscrupulous hypocrite Ids enemies depict him, his family 
would now reign in the Tuileries. The most interesting 
part of the work to the politician is Dr. Verou's account of 
Al. Thiers, who seems to have played Don Quixote to the 
Doctor’s Sambo Panza or rather perhaps Archer to Verou's 
Scrub. It appeal’s that the great merit of this active little 
intriguer was his sharpnes* in detecting the means to annoy 
the government by the newspapers. Besides having the 
command of the L'onstitutioniul, which Dr. Veron, being 
chief editor, laid at his feet, he soerotly maintained friendly 
relations with the Uourrier Evunfuis, the Messenger, and the 
National, all in the fiercest nud most violent opposition to 
the Government and the King. The Doctor r« lutes, with 
niuusiug simplicity, how often M. Thiers — for whom he hud 
done everything — having once got into power, throw him 
overboard, scarcely appearing to recollect his existence. 
What appears so strange iu all this is, the fact that in a 
popular revolution like that of 1830, a country like France 
should only have thrown up one public man of note, nud 
that man M. Thiers. 
The Doctor’s anecdotes of Mile. Rachel — the lowness of 
her origin, her poverty, aud early struggles — are all interest- 
ing. Due of the host is that of her application to M. Pro- 
vost, of the Fraufjus, who prepares candidates for the stage, 
to be admitted among his pupils. Having eyed the poor, 
thin, ill-clad aspirant, Provost recommended her to “ vendre 
de J jleurs ." *• Go, my girl," said the comedian, “ go aud sell 
flowers” — a piece of advice, by the way, not unnaturally 
suggested by her appearance, which theu was exceedingly 
unpromising for the theatre. In a few years after, on the 
eight of one of her early triumphs, when the stage was 
Covered with flowers, after the fall of the curtain, she quietly 
remarked to M. Provost — “Jo pourrais maiutenuut Monsieur 
suivre votre c >useil d'autrefois, ot vendre des flours." Provost, 
who is not only a wit but a man of Bense, congratulated Iter 
on his having made such an egregious error of judgmeut, and 
they have since been excellent friends. Dr. Veron was a 
most useful friend and “ protector" of the young tragedian iu 
the early part of her career — a point on which he says rather 
too much iu the volume before us. 
The ministerial manager of the Grand Opera lias just 
got iuto a dilemma with the press. It appears that on the 
opening night, this gentleman not only curtailed the usual 
Dumber of admissions for each journal, but that to sonic 
papers ho scut no admission at all. In cousequeuce of 
this omission, the entire press has agreed to leave the future 
performances of the Grand Opera quite uunotieed ; and a 
meeting of the editors has been called to arrange whether 
they shall not also omit the name of the opera in the usual 
daily list of the ontertaiuments of the evening. The minister, 
unlike ordinary directois, has the proud satisfaction of 
knowing, that whatever loss his proceedings may inflict 
on the theatre, they will not affect his own cash-box -lucky 
fellow ! — but that of the country. This is likely to take place, 
it would seem to some extent, for though, ou the opeuing 
night (Wednesday the 30th ult.), the house was crowded to 
excess, on the next representation it was half empty. 
A singulnr instance of family attachment, <i la Erancaisc, 
was disclosed by the trial of a man named Brodberger, a 
native of Schweiz, last week, before the Court of Assizes of 
the Department of Moselle. The circumstances wore as 
fantastically atrocious as ever figured at the Ambigu. He 
had been drawn for the army, aud having a most inveterate 
dislike to a soldier’s life, he made every possible effort to 
avoid entering the service, aud they all failed; wlteu, ou 
learning that the eldest son of a widow was by law exempted 
from serving, on the ground that his aid was required for 
the management of the family, he resolved to become 
entitled to this exemption by the murder of bis father / This 
fearful crime he actually carried into execution, with a cool- 
ness and determination almost without example. He way- 
laid him in a field, and beat in his skull with a stone. The 
agitation of the culprit first excited suspicion, aud the state 
of his clothes, covered with his victim's blood, led to his 
arrest, when he fully confessed liis crime. To fill up the

These accounts state that Said Pasha, the new Viceroy of 
Egypt, had been solemnly instituted. The expedition of the 
allied forces was to leave Varna on the 1st of September. 
Marshal St. Arnaud had issued an order of the day, dated 
Vania, August 25, Acquainting the troops that the destination 
of the expedition was the Crimea, and that the duty of the 
allied forces would be to take Sebastopol as a pledge of peace. 
The flags of the three Powers, says the order, will soon be 
greeted on the walls of Sebastopol with cries of “Vive 
l'Empereur ! ”

Camphor Producing Insanity. — The Toronto Colonist 
says : — “ We are informed that no less than eight persons 
have been admitted iuto the lunatic asylum in a state of 
iusauity, occasioned by consuming quantities of camphor to 
prevent cholera. Some of them carried it about in their 
pockets, and kept from time to time eating small quantities 
of it. Others took it dissolved iu brandy. In all cases where 
it was taken in any quantity, it produced insanity. It is a 
fact well-known that a comparatively small quantity of 
camphor will set a dog mad, and that he will soon after- 
wards die."

A.I.OO.F. — The twenty- sixth anniversary of the Loyal Ramsgate 
Grand Lodge of True Faith, and the third ot its becoming the P.G.L. of 
Kent under the G.L.E., established in London in 1S50, was celebrated 
by a dinner on Monday. A numerous assemblage of brothers sat down 
to an excellent repast which was served by Tr. Elson in his usual 
superior style. On the cloth being removed harmony became the order 
of the evening, interspersed with the usual loyal and other toasts cus- 
tomary on such occasions. Among the brothers present were several 
members of the G.L.E., also several members of the No. 4, St. George's 
Lodge, held at Tr. White's Maidstone Anus inn. The whole affair 
passed off in a highly satisfactory manner. 
WARNING TO PUBLISHERS. 
Wo beg to call the attention of publishers to the subjoined 
police cases heard ou Tuesday, before Mr. Aldennau Fare- 
brother, at Guildhall : — The following book aud music-pub- 
I lwhers were summoned at the instance of Mr. Panizzi, the keeper 
of the printed books aud manuscripts in tho British Museum, 
for not delivering copies of certain works within one month 
after publication.— Mr. Harding, of the firm of Messrs. Bray, 
Wurrcn, and Harding, solicitors to the British Museum, ap- 
peared iu support of the informations.— Mr. Thomas Dean, 
of I’liroadueed I c-street, was summoned for not supplying 
“Gentility and Economy Combined," price 2s. Gd. — Messrs. 
Darton ami Co., of Holboru-hil 1 , were similar defaulters 
with regard to “ Peter Parley’s Annual for 1854," price 
5s. Mr. George Frederick Crutchley, of Fleet-street, for 
uot delivering “ Crutchley s Seat of War— tho Baltic, &c.," 
price Is. Gd. Mr. Harry May, of Holborn-bars, for similar 
neglect respecting a piece of music called “Upon the 
Baltic Sea, juice Is. Gd. — Mr. Richard Holmes Laurie, of 
Fleet-street, for omitting to send a copy of “Laurie’s 
Plan of London, Westminster, and Southwark, as Trigono- 
metrically Surveyed by John Outrett, 1854," price 12s.— 
Mr. George Henry Davidson, of Peter’s-hill, Doctors’- 
commone, for not supplying No. 707 of the “Musical Trea- 
sury, price 3d. — The whole of these gentlemen settled the 
matter without comiug into court.— Mr. Henry Tolkien, of 
King \\ illiam-street, appeared to answer the information 
charging him with neglecting to furnish the British Museum 
with a copy of apiece of music called “The Guardsman's 
Farewell," published at 2s. 6d.— Mr. Tolkien said he thought 
the Museum authorities were rather sharp upon him, because 
the piece of music in question had only been published a 
lew weeks, aud it was entirely an accidental omission that 
the required copy was uot sent before.— Mr. Harding said ho 
hoped it would not go forth that the authorities of tho 
Brisish Museum were sharp upon any one, as they never took 
such proceedings except in cases of palpable neglect. In the 
present instance the defendant bad not delivered any work 
for years. — Mr. Tolkien said he was not aware that he was 
required to do so, as his catalogue was made up of non-copy- 
right works, consisting of foreign productions reprinted in 
this country. The same compositions were being published 
by every other publisher in London, aud therefore the 
Museum would have about 100 copies of one thing. — Aider- 
man I* arebrother said if the defendant had imported foreign 
publications he would uot be compelled to supply copies to 
the Museum ; but if he reprinted them iu this country, he 
brought himself under the act of Parliament and its conse- 
quences iu case of non-compliance. — Mr. Tolkien said as soon 
as he had received information that the required copy had 
not been delivered, be sent one to tho Museum, but it was 
refused. — Mr. Harding said it was refused because the sum- 
mons had been issued. — Alderman Farebrother said if it had 
been an expensive work there might have been some object 
iu not supplying a copy, aud £5 would uot have been too 
severe a penalty, but as it was only a half-crown work, lie 
thought 10s. would be sufficient.— Mr. Tolkien said he hoped 
the alderman would dismiss the summons, and he would not 
neglect to send copies of works in future. — Alderman Fare- 
brother said if the work in question was a good piece of 
music it would soon pay tho penalty, or the defendants could 
raise the price of it. — Mr. Tolkien asked if he was obliged to 
send a copy now, after paying the value of it 1 — Alderman 
Farebrother said certainly, as that was part of the penalty. — 
The defendant thou paid 10s. fine, 2s. Gd. value, and 4s. costs. 
The Bulwark, or “ Reformation " (!) Journal, for August, 1854. 
Price twopence-lialfpenuy, or half-a-crown per annum ; or 
per post, three aud sixpence per annum. Edinburgh : 
Printed by T. Constable, Printer to her Majesty. 
Our readers now know as much about The Bulwark (!) os 
we did till half an hour ngo. Although published in Edin- 
burgh, it seems, by its title-page, to be sold also in London, 
by Messrs. Seeleys and by Messrs. Nisbett, both very highly 
respectable firms, either of whom, we will be bound, knew 
nothing of the ridiculous 4 7(li page of the August number till 
it reached them in print from the Scotch publisher, himself 
probably i.uoraut of the wares he tlicu issued for sale. Iu 
manuscript Mr. Seeley or Mr. Nisbett would have never 
allowed such trash to pass their notice. They would, iu 
Londuu, have expunged it ; but iu Scotland there are, 
unfortunately, some folks who out-herod Herod iu their 
bigotry aud cacoethes scribettdi. There is no pleasing them. 
Ihe Bulwark seems to be of that ilk. Adorned itself, on 
its title-page, with a well-selected specimen of the pictorial 
art, representing (0 ! what taste The Bulwark displays !) 
a street-fight, with one nmn sprawling ou his back in tho 
gutter, two others engaged iu pugilism, shillelaghs flourishing 
aloft, aud missiles threatening a lamp pendent at what 
appears to bo tho window of a Scotch church, this 
Bulwark, we say, in its August number, at page 47, ha3 tho 
following article, which we here reprint verbatim et 
literatim : — 
I’opisu Influence oveb tiie Press. — The Papists have great 
influence over the London press, as any one who examines inay easily 
discover. We lately found in a paper called The Fiehl, June 25. which 
professes only to treat of horses, dogs, &c_, a sentimental picture of the 
departure of Jesuit missionaries iYom France, and the following 
article : — 
" The ceremony depicted in the present engraving lately tool: place 
in the chapel of the Matson des Missions, at Paris, on tiie occasion of six 
missionaries departing for China. Nothing is so imposing as this 
simple adieu; it is like a 9cene of home, to which very few witnesses 
are admitted. The young missionaries kneel before the altar, their 
companions ranging themselves in a circle round them, and imploring 
heaven to succour them in their arduous task. One of the superiors, 
after a discourse lull of zeal and hope, comes from his pulpit, ond 
kneels before the neophytes whilst standiug on the steps of the 
sanctuary; he embraces the feet that are prepared to undertake the 
holy pilyrimaye, nnd blesses them as a father would his children. After
