Queen victoria did a graceful act of cour.esy in visiting t.he; Empresa:Eugenic at ChiselhursL Her Ma .'j3?ty:fiasthus ad Jed her name to the nmg list of those who have already paid their respects to the devoted wife or Napoleon ihe Third, some per? sona fancy that thc visit had a political slgnlll canee and denoted th? leaningsor s-ntimcnts or the English Court. Hut the compliment indi? cates no mere than the sympathy which a mem? ber of the famTly of sovereigns naturally extends to an exiled Sister. Among the things which the Empress most deeply regrets having lcrt behind ber, in the hurry or her departure from Paris, was a photograph album which she had. received from therOueen, and which contajhed- the royal donor's antvrhph amia selection of Interesting por fjrai o.

This fraudulent evasion of cus? toms consisted In sending to this country thou? sands of dollars'worth or valuable silks und Ly o$s Velvets,whichferjjj;. IjtfongJtt rj-dr? Ireland S? the boxes of the etnigrauts, which wtire furnish' ; with false bottoms, in which the smnggled goods were placed. These goods were first smuggled Into Ireland from France,. Thc boxes used in the smuggling operations were made sud' sold to emigrants at reduced prices by a large trunk manufacturer of Belfast, and thc silks were doubt? less placed In the false bottoms before -they were sold to the emlgrants.'rBeforc" !rtartlni iof this country, the emigrants were recommended to go, on their arrival In New York, to certain emigrants' boarding-houses in West street, and when they arrived^there.: it wai) 'a simple "matte;- to; remove the BOBU?djpoo4i and repj?c?theifalse bottoms. ? ft estimated tha: the United States Government has last not less than $250,000 in gold by tins cheating of thc customhouse. Tho business bas also bee^?arrted on with Baltimore, lt ls said. The goods thu3 smuggled, on arriving in Niw York, were remove I to two wholesale houses on Broadway, who were thus enailcd to sell fine silks and velvets at a low figure, very much under the market rates. -Thc ship in the Col >rado desert still continues to excite Interest in .San Francisco, particularly as an exploring party of four persons hus just re? turned from a search after this wonder. As was the casa with previous explorers, this party did , not succeed in reaching the ship, but only man? aged to obtain a view of it through a field gla?& tte lea'.er of this party, who, it ls stated, Ls a man of veracity and good sense, sars that he found t he ship about forty-five miles southw. st of Los Pal mos station and thu Uavassone lake, precisely at the spot where it had been reported by the Indians ana by travellers. The party had travelled five days and lour nights on thirty-six gil tons of waters fur four men and ?ve animals, and was forced to ?eturn without succeed? ing In the object or the exploration. Thc lender or the party, however, pushed on before his com? panions, travelling all night on root, and torment? ed with axaging thirst, and only went Tar enough toassureTUmsElfthat thestup acualy existed. He says thathe saw tho ship distinctly through his glass, about a' mile anda half distant. Thc shift appears- tobe two hundred and fifty reet long, and lies on her beam ends, with the bow, bowsprit and stern wed above the saud. This indefatigable explorer has started out again for tte fossU ship, taking with him several barrels of water and planks to cross the soft mud of Cai sone lake. -Thc difficulty with the Atlantic cable is nearer solution. Immediately after the inten? tion of communication by the Drat cable, steamer Robert Lowe was sent out to make pairs, and lt was supposed that the second Jury wa^ caused by carelessness In grappling wrong otic. Tills has since proved In co rn sluce, on thi day on which thc scoond interr tlon took pluce, there was no grappling none, is now supposed that the Injury in each casi the same-probably abrasion on the rocks. ' cable companies have giver their opiniou the situation to an interviewer, which n bc br.efly stated as that, with an accumulai of two days' work for the single French cu at Brest, they were forced to increase tariff, in order to s-top the increase of business a measure. The French cable has a bad leak n Urest, and cannot be used to its full extent. 1 Field gives little encouragement a< to thc succ of repairing ihe broken cables this season, a goes further to say that lt will not poy to lay a ther. The three cable systems cost $19,0D0,( and do not pay heavy dividends, thc amount daily earnings having decreased rather than ai mented under the reduction of the tariff. Th is said to be not enough work for the cablea ready lui l, and lt ls hinted that thc compau may not reduce the tariff after the present troo is past. _ The Luxembourg Question. The momentous Importance of the go understanding which undoubtedly exists I tween the Governments of Berlin and I Petersburg begins to be understood. Gi many and Russia, acting together, conti the whole of Europe. The aggressive mo\ mcnts of the Czar in the East are encouru ed by the knowledge that Austria is afro of losing her German provinces, and th the legions of Germany, which have ulrea< subjugated France, will not bc turn against Russia. This, also, .holds Englui in chuck, and it is an ominous fact th; just at the time when the relations belwei Russia and the Porte are again declared be highly unsatisfactory, Count Bisman should formally announce that.the neutr State of Luxembourg will be annexed to tl Germau Empire, Austria fears Prus3ii Turkey has good cause to dread the ei croachments of Russia; England keeps 01 eyeon Germany and Russia, while the oth< takes in the Alabama claims and thc Can: dian fisheries. Bismarck and Gortschakc hold the key to the situation, and they kno how to make the best use of their golde opportunity. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the ne element of dislurbanco, has a population ( only 200,000, but, IyiDg on the borders, b< tween France and the North Germau Cot: federation, it had a strategic value out ( proportion to its area and numerical strengtl When the old Germanic Diet was dissolved in 1866, by the withdrawal of Prussia, th position of Luxembourg, which from LSI had belonged to the old German Confedera tion, became the subject of diplomatic cor respondence. Prussia took the ground tba her troops occupied Luxembourg in virtu of the international treaties of 1816 and 1S56 between Prussia and Holland, and that UK dissolution of the Diet did not change hei relations to the Grand Duchy. Luxembourg protested against this view, and tho ques tion slumbered until early i ti 1867 whet France began her efforts to purchase thc Grand Duchy. The King of Holland, how? ever, insisted upon informing tho King ol Prussia that France had made proposals for tho cession of Luxembourg-accession which Lord Stanley, the present Earl of Derby, de? clared would be no more than legitimate. France was greatly dissatisfied with the step taken by the King of Holland, which made the French project known in Germany and there produced un immense agilatiou. When, on April 1, 1867, in the North Ger mau Parliament, the vice-President, Herr Von Benningeen, declared that tho govern? ment must not suffer "one province of Ger "many to be lost, and must resist the an? nexation of Luxembourg, if necessary, by "force of anns," tho whole Parliament con? curred with these views, and the South Ger? man States wero equally emphatic in do? ctoring their assent. Thia alarmed Holland, and the King withdrew bi3 consent ta the cession of the Duchy'to France. In Hie moan time the negotiations between France and Prussia assumed a threatening charac? ter. The French ambassador in London, on the 10th of April, explained to Lord Stanley the grounds upon which his government inuit, sooner or later, insist upon the evac? uation by Prussia of the Fortress of Luxem? bourg. Count Bernstorff, on the other hand, was directed by Count Bismarck to say that "in the actual state of things in Germany, "Prussia is not iu a condition to consent to "the separation, in any form, of Luxembourg "from Germany, or to the evacuation of the "fortress." England, Russia and Austria advised Prussia to consent to the neutraliza? tion of the Grand Duchy, as a compromise, and, on April 27, Prussia agreed to give way upon condition that a European guarantee be given for tho neutrality. This led to the conference which met in London in May, 1867, under the presidency of Lord Stanley. The powers represented were England, Aus? tria, Russie, Prussia, France, Italy, Bel? gium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The con erence closed its labors, on May ll, by sigmtig the Treaty of London, which de? clares: i. That the rights possessed by the collateral branches of the House of Nassau to the succession of the Grand Duchy are maintained. 2. That the Grand Duchy, un? der the guarantee of Austria, France, Great Britain, Prussia and Russia, will form a State perpetually neutral, anil will be bound to observe that same neutrality toward all oilier Slates; that the treaty powers pledge themselves "to respect" the principle ol' the neutrality, which remains under their "col "lective guarantee," except Belgium, herself u neutral State. 3. That me town of Luxem? bourg cease to be a foriiiietl place, i. That tho Prussian troops immediately evacuate tho fortress. 5. That the said fortress be made an opeu town, the King of Holland promising that the fortifications shall not be restor- d. 6. That the bonds which united the Duchy ol'Limburg collectively with the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to the German Confederation having ceased to exist, the relations bel ween the Grand Daciiy and cer? tain portions of the Duchy of Limburg have ended, those portions of territory continuing to form pa integral part of the Kingdom of Holland. Luxembourg was evacuated by the Prus? sians in May and Jun?, a pretence was made of razing Hie fortress, and at this point the question stood until the recent action of Germany, which, it will be remarked, is thoroughly consistent with the declarations of Count Bismarck and tho expressions of Ger man feeling prior to the Treaty of London. As regardi/the attitude of the treaty^powere in the pr?sent emergency, it i3 important to note that in 1867.it waa officially declared by England and'Russia that they understood the gaarantee mentioned in the second arti? cle of the Treaty or London a3 a joint guar? antee, and not involving an obligation for any of the States to enforce such a guaran? tee individually. In demanding the annexation of Luxem? bourg, Bismarck makes another step towards the complete unification of Germany; and it ts not hard to see that in the rectification of frontiers now taking placo the future boun? dary of the German Empire on the west will run nearly due north and south from tho North Sea to Switzerland, including Luxem? bourg and the French provinces east of the Moselle. Review*. LAT SERMONS, ADDRESSES A VD REVIEWS. By Thomas Henry Huxley, L?.L. D-t F- & 8 New York: D. Appleton. 1870. Whatever may be the value of Professor Huxley's contributions to natural science, there can be no question as to the value of his contributions to Its literature. His brilliant style, his incisive logic, his wit and his re? sources of metaphor and illustration have stimulated to the study ot the problems of phy? sical science large numbers of persons whom the difficulty and unfamiliarity ot the discus? sions were apt to repel. Thc volume before usjcontalns his most remarkable productions, and lt ls not an exaggeration to say that no book has of late appeared more distinguished by ability or by the interest its topics possess for the thinking portion of mankind. The reader will here And the latest evidence of the new creed, which abjuring necessity, yet sur? renders the universe to matter and torce, and he will be conducted by the most delightful of guides to the loremost trenches which science has drawn around the citadel or life. He may not assent to all that is preached unto him, and he may fail to read, over the portals of life, the motto so plain to the eye of his teachers, but he will at least have had his at? tention directed to the supreme enigma which mankind hos to solve. The other essays, though ol ICBS significance in a scientific point ol view, will be found very entertaining, espe? cially that on S3lentlflc education, a subject which is now attracting so much Interest. Want of. space prevents us from applying to that essay, or to the others, any adequate criti? cism, but upon the subject ot education, we would point out that Professor Huxley adopts the usual view of those who argue the value of scienco as an instrument of education, viz., that thc student who gels his science from a text book or teacher is put to the same degree of mental effort as he*who cr?ales the science. The fallacy of his argument, If there is fallacy ?nit, seems to us tolle just there. But we must leave this question to the readers ol the book, who, we hope, will be many.
