Among the recent contributors is one who attaches the initials "W. 7. H." to bis communication. This, which we suppose to be by Mr. Harcourt, tikes ground against .'' the authenticity of the poem. One of the strongest points yet made in opposition ap? pears to be that of a clergyman who calls at tention to the fact that the word "its," which ; does not appear at all in the authorized version - of the Bible, only three times in Shakspeare, and, it ia behoved, not at all in any other of | Milton's poems, if this be one, occurs four times in this poem. The word was, to be ; sure, known at the time, but was little used, . especially in poetry. -The Prince Imperial, who is said to have remarkable artistic taste, considering bis age, recently rodd to Thomery, attended by his equerry, M.

She never wears her cross of the Legion d'Hon? neur, but shows to the privileged few whom she admits to her intimacy the robe de chambre to which the Empress fastened the ribbons and cross ou the day when she unexpectedly drove to Thomery, and surprised her in her morning costume. -The approaching elections in England, ac- 1 cording to an intelligent observer in that corm- l try, will result as follows : First, the Liberals 1 will have avery decided majority in the new Parliament; secondly, these Liberals will be 1I pledged to support Mr. Gladstone in a very 1 different manner from that in whioh they sup? ported him last session; thirdly, the majority of the House will be united on behalf of & clear and definite programme, and will se compelled to adhere together ao long as the question of j the Irish Church remains undecided; and last? ly, the House will be composed of men whose poli tics, whether ministerial or opposition, will eventually be tinged with practical conserva-1 tism inherent in the possession of wealth and [ station. These conditions are not uniformly favorable to' the Liberal cause. Still they are vastly more so than have been known of Ute years. -The Thames embankment between the Mansion House and Westminster Bridge, Lon- j don, waa recently opened to the public with J suitable ceremonies. The chairman of tho t Board of Works, Sir John Th wai toa, accom? panied by two or three hundred ladies and gen? tlemen, walked from one -Td of the embank? ment to the other, and ' en proceeded hy steamboat to Woolwich, to partake of a grand breakfast. The embankment, it is stated, re? sembles the "tow-path" of a canal. It is a broad roadway with a railway under it. The footway is twenty feet wide. The roadway will he one hundred feet wide, including both foot? paths. About thirty-seven acres of land have been reclaimed from the mud-banks of the river by the embankment, and will be laid ont in approaches, ornamental grounds and gar? dens, as soon as the railway works have suffi? ciently advanced; and it is expected that both the embankment and railway will be completed within a year from the present time.
