Fo were those of the Duchess of Orleans, Louis Paii- lipe, the Queen Marie Amelie, the Duchess d@’Aumale, the Prince De Conde and five of the royal children. On the sth of June, with- out public notice or demonstration, the bodies were removed at an early hour. They were taken to Paris, and thence to the family burying place in Normandy. At Paris the hours of arrival and removal were so ar- ranged as to prevent any concourse of people. The members of the family who projected and arranged the removal have @ claim, better than any royal demand, upon the respect of the world for this unostentatious performance of the promptings of these nat- ural sympathies. All men are equal in the aust; and all who yet live stand upon the same level before the King to whom ali men must at last submit. A TorN PHOTOGRAPH.—Lewis O.
