It came by way of the Suez Canal, and is fully two months earlier in the season than any former arrivai*. The short passage through the tropics prevented much of the Iv jury by heating which this description of rice usually suffers, and undoubtedly accounts lor the pedliurly fine color ot the 6eed. -Tho Newborn (N.

The disbursements to the navy abroad, through London, ?lince the close ol the late war, have amounted to about four or five millions annually. -II we are to lose the honor of feasting a real live Russian prince, at least for some time to come, lt seems well nigh settled that we are to bc favored with a visit from M. Louis Blanc to this country. Whatever may be his object in crossing the ocean; whether it is in order to Btudy our government, our republican institu? tions, or to merci) "interview" us und write a book about us, ii seems to be beyond a doubt that he ls coming to America, the "sister" re? public of France, as wo were whilom called. -Three men, supposed to be crossiug from 1 Manchester, New York, to Canada, were car- < ried over Niugara F ills, near Chippewa, on ] Thursday, ll is surmised that they had but one pair of oars, and the current being very swift they drilled too low, and when the boat reached the tlrsL rapids lt broke in two. The man that was rowing, being au expert swim? mer, swam within six feet of Street's Island, 1 but the rapids drove him puat. He then got ' discouraged, threw his arms in the air, and ." sank. The other two men were seen to rise t once, but nra? soon carried away anti nothing | was seen of mern aiterward. A portion of the boat has been recovered. -The uso ot purports between the United States and France, wblcb had been practically abolished under the Emperor Napoleon, is now revived by the government ol Versailles. This 1 fact ls inmortal, to travellers, because the | 1 official notification to Mr. Washburue Irom M. Jules Favre, minister of foreign affairs, re? quires Ibo authentication of a French agent on every passport, withont regard lo uatioualiiy. Although no formal expia utiou lias been given for this step, it is easy t.o imagine that Bona- j partlst and other emissaries were enterlr.g France for the purpose ol agitating a restora- ' tlon or a revolution lu the interest ol' particu? lar aspirants to the throne. Heuce the neces? sity of this pr?caution. Americans Intending to travel ihrougti France muer, therefore, pro? vide themselves with the visa o? a French con? sul on their passports, which muy be done at any port ia the-United States, or abroad, il preferred. -News has arrived from the Darien explor? ing expedition to the effect that the altitude of the dividing ridge of the Cordilleras has finally been accurately determined, and found to exceed seven hundred feet. Every hope of constructing a canal across the isthmus, with? out having to resort to lunnelllu . has, there? fore, been abandoned, and it ls questionable il even thi.? tn- tho l ol fonuiug a connection between the two oceans can be saiislactorlly and successfully tdopted, as there is uo pre? cedent of an uuilerinkingof asimilar magni? tude in the annuls ol either uuco-ut or modern engineering lo wanam a good result, li is to be regretted tnat tue prospects of effecting this shun cut between two hemispheres will thus probably have to be entirely aoaudooed; bul il is only due to Commander Selfridge to say, thai his attempts to Hod a practical rome have been untiring, mid carried ou with u,e greatest zeal and Interest norn beginning to end. A yet Kidder tinge la thrown over thu late news by tho additional report of the foundering ol Uro launch belonging to the "Resaca" while on her way io Panama with the mails, by which unforiuurte accident one 6ailor and the whole uf her cargo was lost. The rest were saved/and succeeded in reach? ing Panama altor suffering a great many hardships and privations. -The celebrated Or. Hertnaun Buuel*, who accompanied the German expedition io the Arctic seas la>t year, will also ai company Captain Hall ou his intended tour ol explora? tion iu Ute Rame direction, which, ii is sup? posed, will leave New York, Wlieie Hie cap? tain now-ls, early injune. Two Esquimaux Indians, a mau und a woman, haw a>so been secured to accompany the expedition a> in? tel preter*, wini.- the whole compliment ol Bailors und attaches have nearly in-en sei ured, I t numbering, all told, twenty-five men. The 11 government vessel, in which the expedition will proceed, has bad the name altered to the more appropriate one ol "Polaris," and ls now hera at tho government slip, taking in her stores for a four years' trip, If this length of time should be found necessary to accom? plish the object of the intrepid voyageurs, and completing her Interior Ottings and arrange? ments. The route laid down by Captain Hall is, first, to St.. John's, Newfoundland, where abe will recoal, then around the north and northwestern shore ol' Labrador, through Hudson's Strait and Fox's Channel, from which point the expedition will, If possible, advance east ol King William's Land; thence across Davis's Strait to the Island of Disco, on the wesi coast ol Greenland, where it ls pro? posed to "overwinter," and then use the fol? lowing spring in an attempt to penetrate through Smith's Sound, the seeming extremity of which Captain Hall supposes to be within four pr 'Ave hundred miles of the pole, which it is his desire and object to attain, and which will have to be reached in sledges over fields of solid ice. The New German Empire. So soddenly baa the great German Empire sprung up, and taken a. foremost place among the Powers of the earth, that few on this skteof the Atlantic have yet been able to obtain any definite or precise information as to lae plan of organization of the new Nation*. Tet so interesting and important is the theme that the readers of TUE NEWS cannot fail to welcome a description or the machinery which the fortune of war and the genius of Bismarck have set in motion for the consolidation and government of united Germany. I What may be called the Parliament of the Empire consists of the Bundcarath and the Reichstag; these two bodieB bearing a cer? tain resemblance to the Upper and Lower Houses of Congress, but having n closer similarity to the English House of Lords and House of Commons. The Reichstag repre? sents me collective people of the German Empire; its 382 members being apportioned according to the population and elected for three years. Its composition may De in? ferred from n glance at the statistics of the present body, which show three princes, a duke, Eix minor princes, sixty-six counts or nobleman, a large number of local, officials from the grade of burgomeisters up, twelve clergymen and a bishop, forty-four members of tho judiciary, eighteen lawyers, eighteen professors, twenty merchants and manufac? turers, one apothecary, one lathe worker, nine authors and editors, six physicians, j fourteen schoolmasters, ?fcc. Office-holders uro eligible to a seat in the Reichstag, but if the pen-on, after election, accepts a higher ofllce under either the Slate or Empire, he must stand a new election or be disqualified. All members are protected frcra arrest and from responsibility to other parties for their legislative action. The Reichstag decides upon the eligibility of tts own members, and manages the contested election business in a curious but effectual way. The presiding officer divides the house into seven parts, pujh of which is required to examine and report upon the cases coming within its ?wu jurisdiction. This simplifies the work and prevents unnecessary delay in the final action. As the contingency may arise when there are a sufficient number of contested seats to change the balance of power, the presiding officer of a new Reichstag only holds thu place four weeks, at the expiration of which time another chairman, or speaker is chosan who remains the rest of the ses? sion. The Reichstag has the right to eu act laws, and also to lay before the Bundes? rath and Bundes-chancellor what are termed "interj ellaiions," which the latter is obliged .o appear and answer to. The Reichstag is :onvened, adjourned and prorogued by the Executive, bul the prorogation requires the lonseui of tho Bundesralb; and when order id within ihe ihree years for which the mem? bers ute chosen, a new election must be hud ?viihiti sixty, and a new session called wiih ;h ninety days. It cannot be adjourned iguins, its own consent but once during the lanie session, and then for no longer period ,han thirty days. The members receive no oay whatever for their services. The Bundesrath has Jfly-eitiht members, vhoaie chosen by ihe respective govern nents which they represent. Prussia eepds ?eveuuen, Bavaria six, Saxony four, "Wur .etnberg four, Baden three, and tho rest of .he Status average one each. Fourteen neg ilivo tules are sufficient to_defeat any cou ititutlonal amendment., and as Ba/aria, Wurtemberg and Saxony together hold that lumber, they can prevent any infringement if thea- righis by a change of the orgunic aw. The members of the Bundesrath ?ire .eally plenipotentiaries and not delegates, votina; always on important questions in ?trict accordance with instructions from their fieveral governments. This body, then, is intensely aristocratic and conservative, representing the diflerent States of the Em? pire lather than the Empire itself. It is .ssentially ibo law proposing power, its chief 'unction being the preparation of laws which ,be Reichstag is expected to enact. It is, Uso, io a limited extent, a cabinet; having inthority to provide regulations for the en orccnent of the siaiutes of the Empire, whenever 6aid regulations are not set forth in the laws themselves. For this purpose it ias seven standing commiltees which attend :o thc army und fortresses, tho marine, tariff ind luxation, trade and commerce, rail? roads, ports and telegraphs, administration :>f justice, and appropriai! us. By a pro? vidion of the constitution,.Bavaria is always .0 have a seat iu the cotntnitieeon the army; ind ^n the special committee on foreign itl'air.?, Bavaria bas the chairman and Prus? sia is nut represented ut all. TLe Bundes? rat bas a concurrent voice wiih the Reich? stag in tile passage of all laws, a majority of /otes iu^ach house being able to enact. Its iessions aro private, but the members aro ?xpeded, whenever necessary, to meet with -lie Reichstag and discuss and explain any JUJ v/uiub may be before the lower bouse, uni guard the interests of the different sk-tei. Tnere is no special provision for the ?leciiou of the tnein':ers of the Bundesralb, jr lb?! duration of their term of office; these uui.it rs being left entirely to the Stales which seuil them. Th ? executive branch of the government ie, of course, ihe Emueror, whose office is sailed tlie Bundes-presidiura or Presidency. K-pejial can: seems lo have beeu takeu to ieep ihe imperial authority or the name, of t il least-us far in Ute background as po?. ?ble; for except in the line of th? coustilu ,ion which declares that the Bundes-presidi im iihali "luke the name of the German "Emperor," nothing whatever ?3 said on the subject. The control bf the army and navy is vested in the "King of Prussia," and the naval oath of allegiance ia to the same per? sonage. This combination of Emperor, King and President, cannot declare war except in case of actual attack from a for? eign foe-without consent of the Bundes? rat ; but can make peace, credit and re? ceive embassadors, assemble the Bundesrath and Reichstag, the former alone, if he chooses, but never thc latter without the for? mer. One-third of the members of the Bundesrath may require him to convene that body; and if any of the States of the Em? pire fail in the discharge of their constitu? tional obligations, tho Bundesrath suggests the proper action, and the Executive must enforce it. He al30 appoints all the officers and controls the war power; but the reai arm which exercises "all these great functiorft belongs to the Bandes-chancellor, an office which Bismarck has created for himself, and which it will be exceedingly difficult fer any successor to 'fill. It will be seen from what we have said, that the Constitution of the German Empire differs in one very important particular from our own. The Federal Constitution-in theory, at least-recognizes the perfect equality of all the States, but the other, be-' ing obliged to accommodate itself toso many' diverse interests, ls not, and perhaps cannot be, entirely impartial. Thus we find attach? ed to several of the articles such provisions as these: -"This article does not apply to "Bavaria:" "this paragraph does not apply "to Wurtemberg," *c. Bavaria, too, still claims and exercises many of the powers of an independent kingdom : she sends and re? ceives her own embassadors, deflne3 the rights of citizenship, demands for her King all the rights of a sovereign ; maintains the individuality of her military force, holding it, by special provision of the treaty, in the attitude of "an allied army." In the Bun? desrath, when the affairs of the Empire are under discussion, all the members are ex? pected to remain and participate; but when business belonging to individual States is being transacted, the representatives of States not interested must withdraw. These d?ficiences and incongruities may, with propriety, be called cracks-in the edifice of German unity, and we must trust to time and the sound seDse of the German people to fill them with sncb political cement as shall make the structure an harmonious and enduring whole. funeral Notices.
