ADDITIONAL FROM EUROPE. @ur Paris Correspondence. Panis, day 31, 1855. The Paris Exhibition—The Palais WIndustrie— What Does & Amount to?—Interes'ing Inciden’s. After all, there is nothing like democratic influenss im ‘the minoteenth century. No sooner had the despotic semi-vecia‘istic Emperor ef the French struc with bis sceptre the sealed gates ef the Industrial Palace, and decreed that the people, whene brawny sinews and hari bands had created ite ‘tweasures, should, on the following Sunday, have free tmgress and egress at the imperial charge, than the gaunt, staring, naked ribs ef this cestle of msrule seemed spontaneously turned into a hive of bees, and galvanized from a skeleton of dry bones into a living seulef fieeh and blood. Exhibitors, with workmen and handicraftsmen of every description, flocked thither in evowds, and the hammer, the saw, the paint brash and gilding leaf were put in requisition with such good will anéveal that the wonder was what they had been doing three months ago. The new foantain, too—that last bright idea, pregnant with du t and dirt, and rain to all @elieate tissues—tissues, already half sacrificed to the seorehing rays of the sun penctrating through the un- shaded roof of glass—was at once besieged by busy hands, determined on giving shape and form to ita pre- sent hideous chaos. When Gnished, it is probably in- tended for a duodecimo edition of one of those ia the Place de la Concorde. On Fridsy Jast, I happened to be preseat when the work was in préess, and the Emperor ‘and Empress, without notice, suddenly made their ap- Pearanee. One of the female figures intended to enact ‘the part of Ondine, was in the act of being hauled up by ® windlass into the place assigned her. Her present ap- peavance and situation were not interesting. For greater @emvenience the arms were not yet fastened on. The Indy was ared nudity, redas her mother earth, or as petter’s clay when properly baked. Her large bosom ‘was, therefere, anything bat a mountaia of snow; nor @4@ its peouliar hue, inflammatory as it was, give one apy netion of what the posts cali a ‘bosom of fire.” ‘The lege were crossed after the fashion of a Hiadoo idol, and, as hauled up by the winclsss, she stood promineat- Jy forth te view. The Ewperor and Empreas followed * the Jady’s movements with enriosity. Suddenly, how- ever, one of the ropes broke, and down fell this naiad of clay with such a thamp that the workmen stood aghast, considering in whose presence such a mai apropos had ocourred. The good natured Eugemie mad+ uo boves of it, snd laughed outnght; but the Banperor, ap if leoking vpon the circumstance as ouly another dis- gusting addition to the general mismanagement, gravely turned away and moved to snother quarter of the Pa’ Jace. ‘The Empress, who evidently is extremely delicate and Dut little calculated to bear fatigue, was drawn, together with anotber Isdy who sat vis d vis to her, in a species eft beth chair presented to her by Prince Albert. Ona elone inepeetion she must certainly be said to iook her age, which is 28, The chief charm of her features is the manner in which they break into a smile. No language, anno artist, can convey the exquisite beauty of the play of ber countenance, and of the expression of her eyes om such an occasion; and as she familiarly touched the arm of the Emperor and smiled in his face, while Ieoning over her chair, hia Majesty walked benide her, it was easy to divine the mystery that had made her an Kusprens. Sundsy happened fortunately to be a day of compara- tively unprecedented sunshine, and not less than 105,000 persons visited the Palais de l’Industrie and the exhibi ‘tiem of the fine arts. I! was one of those oceasions when the French people are seen to peculiar advantage. By ene e’clock the Champa Elysées was a sea of moving Beads. From the Place de Ja Concorie, the many eolored wave glistening in the rays of the sun, came rolling im down from the Faubourgs St. Denis and St. Antoine, ‘themee carried forward by the great Boulevards leading to the Madeleine, and from the opposite bank of the Beine the: another surge which flowed over the Daidges and joined the counter tide in the Place; and ‘thus united, they made together an ocean of bonnets, cops, hate and blouses streaming along he broad avenue of the Champs Elysées till it surrounde3 the Palais de Piadustrie. How well the French conduct themselves when thus holidsy mating it is not necessary to say. O24, young and middle-aged are afort, laughing, chat- tieg, and makirg everywhere gen‘le fun without vio- Besee or vulgarity, and withont meat cr drink. @n entering this famoxs palace, whore pmans the had been singivg for the past two years, nothizg could exceed the decorum ani ge- eral of their behavior. That stromg faculty f the people which enables them so highly to appreci ate art anc to discriminate between the false ani tae was at once evident. After pussing the eatrance , lined on either side with admirable specimona of terra cotta, but which their natural desire to plange inte the body of the bailding prevented them from ing to examine, they bal! at ® magazine on the wight hand corner, containing s2me rare illustrations of silver, cast in beautiful vases, and full of bas- . Ove immense jug shaped vase of peouliarly ic form, cansed them unanimously to pause. It ‘was surrounded in bold relief with illustrations of all ‘the evils whish burat out of Pandor: vex, which the had given her to plague Prometheus with, but subsequently, Lke herself, became ‘tee portion of another. here the psssions be seen in all their med career, gal- loping and frolicking around the vase; and avery noble work of art was unquestionably before them; but it was worthy of 1 tk how instantaneously this mob of persons, on arriving at the depos of Storr & Mcrtimer, silvermiths, ef London whose glass case was fal imUar works of art, discriminated the difference bet this and the one which bad first attracted their attention. Again and again they poiated out and di- lated on the exquisite finish of the English work con with the mere casting of the Frensh rival, Every every button. every lineament, it was observed, ‘wae marked in the one; while in the other there was, by comparison, a dulnessand heaviness which marked’ its inferiority. But the Indian department—that which the East Iad'a €ompany has stored with such exquisite Oriental woo ders—seemed to stzike them with amazement. On the ground Jay mats of purple, and gold and silver, and pipes so luscious sud magnificent in tneir form that the very sight was enough to make a tobacco devotea on the Iartant’ Overhead was spread a crimson covering of silk and silver, and a gorgeous umbrella stood epresd open by the sice. Here was a paradise for a chieftain and tollower of Mahomet. But, turning to the right was a greater Kéen than all It was a tent, dtted up for an Oriental King. The roof and sides were formed of carpets of the finest enabmere, inwrougbt with silver and gold, In the interior, the flooring was similar, but more gorgeous in patterm and color. There were tables of cedar, inlaid ‘with ivory, snd chairs carved so elaborately that a whole life must have veen devoted to their execution. Im the centre stood a sexagonal chers table of ivory. The teacery which fell from the e?ges. th» pedestal which supported the slab, the chess men which stood on their appointed quares are, one and all, far, far beyond my of description. Itis only necessary to sey that ‘we have no art in Europe capabie of producing nea atall spproaching them, for beauty, symmetry as minute elaboration an‘ finiab. The Mrencomen gazed and gazed with such L pescgee admiration, sucha thor- ough appreciation of the art that had proluced ths work be’ore them, and at the same time with such an imtelligent, rational dovize to know the secret of it, that if the Orientela had themvelves been there, it may be doubted whether they would not generally have preferred ber anicient rival and now aly to that Old England hove away stretcLes so far ani near over their aacient eontinent, Exhibition, generally, was much improve’, and ‘oup d’eil from the sonthesst guliery appeared to give upiverra) satisfaction.

Brawn, Mey 29, 1855. state ecling in Germany om the War Question—Atti- tude of Prussia—What is thought of Austria—Finan- cial and Commercial Position of Prussia—@he Paris Exhibution—Berlin the Oity of Statues, Considering how near we are te the seat of war, itis astonishing how little excitement is occasioned here by the momentous conflict which is now waging in the east end north ef Europe, and the throes of which are felt to the uttermest ends of the civilized world. Sinee it has become pretty certain that this eoantry will take no active share im the struggle, the public appear to have adopted the same system of neutrality adhered to by government; and, whatever may be the sympathies of individuals for one or tbe other of the parties engeged, ‘the general feeling is only that of curiosity. Our eapi- talists and londlords, who were panic struck last yeas at the idea of Prussia being forced into hostis ities, either with the Russians or with the Wes- tern Powers, are im high spirits at finding the danger arrested for the precept, and entertain strong hopes of being able to get over it altogether; while the people, Cisuppointed im the expectations aroused at the com- menct ment ef the war, are biding their time, ready to tale advantage of any favorable opportunity that may offer to recover those rights they have been so long de- prived of, but by no means anxions to precipitate a movement for no oiler object than to forward the dy- pattic interests of a French Emperor, or the party poli- tics ofa British minister, Thia state of the public miad not only prevails throughout all Germany, but probably extends to Hungary and Poland; aud Louis Napoleon is very much mistaken if he imagines that his bare word will suffice to rouse the “oppressed nationalities” against their taskmasters. Very far from possessing such power, his conduct has never ceased to inspire them with sus picion and dislike, and he will Lave to give the most ample gusrantees for his future good behavior, before be cau depend upon their sympathy or co-operation. He can never be allowed to unfurl the stendard of liberty while grinding down his own subjects under the hoof of an iron despotism; and the first proof of his sincerity in the cause must be the emancipation of France from the thraldom he has held her in since the 2d of December. Until this is done, his threats of revolution may appal and intimi- date the other despotic courts of Europe, but they will find no echo in the hearts of the people, The passive attztude of Prussia is now so fully recog: nised, and all attempts to bring her over to the Westera alliance have proved so utterly abortive, that she seems tohave been given up as incorrigible. Since the last great onslaught of Lord Lyndhurst, in the British House of Peers, she hes remained tolerably unmolested, and the result, or rather the non-result, of the Vienna con forerces, has justified her refusing to participate in such iusory proceedings. At present the attacks of the French, and espeoially of the Enzlish pross, are chiefly we v directed against Austria, and the ‘chivalrous Emperor” is beginning to be treated to the same flowers of rheteric as were formerly lavished on the defunct Czar Nicholas, but for which there is just as little foundation as for the fulsome eulogies #0 lately bestowed upon him. The simple fact is, that Austria ie in much such a predicament as the gentle. man detcrived m one of Marryatt’s novels, who had the most courageous soul in the world, but whose cowardly legs always ranawsy with him, She nasa holy hatred of Russia, from whom sue has received favors thet ean never be \orgiven, and whose growing preponderance meneces ber very existence; she wishes tne alliese bind of success; would sing Ze Deums tor their victories, and even fly to their sesistance the moment they have completely vanquished and muzzled the enemy; but as to attacking the monster in his den, when the hunters have only scotebed not killed him, it is » point she finds {t impossible to screw her courage upto. Austris bas the best intentions; her only fwnlt is, that she has Weak nerves, which have certsinly net been strengta- ened by the reiterated failures of the allies ia the Crimea. It Pelisser should be more fortunate than hie predecescor, if he shoa'd smoke them out of Sebastopol as be did the Arabs out of tae caverns of Dabea, st would go far to termimate tie irresolation of the Court of Vienna, and induce it to abandon that “masterly inactivity” which, but for some such dec!- sive event, is likely vo be p.clonged ad infinitum.

Kye is worth nearly coubie its former price, although the duty, even includong the additional twenty five per cent, does not ¢xseed 25 cents on 110 lbs. You are aware that rye bread is consumed by ali classes of the popula- tion in ths country; it is generally considerea to bo more nourishieg than wheaten bread, and although this idea has been proved by chemical analysis to be errone- ous, the precilectioa for rye is stiil prevalent amongst high end low. The exorbitant prices of wheat are caused not only by the increased taxation, but by the immenee quentitics of cattle bought up for provisioning the allied fleet in tbe Baltic, which is catirely supplied from Prussia and the north of Germany. course, the higher clarees snd the moneyed aristocracy do not feel the pressure to tne same extent as these below them —in 1act it ia more than counterbalanced by the en- danced value of cepital; but the middle classes are obliged to retrench in the use of lururies to meet their increased expenditure for necessaries, and the poor are reduced to great distress, the more #0 as there are many traces cuflering from stognation and hard times gene- rally. ‘The greet Paris Exhibition attracts considerable atten- tion in these parts, and quite a number of our manufaec- turers are proceeding to the Frensb capital with choice Fpecimens of their productions.

United States Circuit Court. Before Hon Judge Nelson. June 13.—Amos Burt and Radert Minturn, appellants, vs. Steamboat Swan.—Tonnage, tug, sunkem vessels ia river, liability of tog. Natsoy, J —This libel was filed to recover damages for the lors of the schooner H. H. Day, and her cargo, which versel was damaged and sunk en the Raritao river, New Jersey, im the night of the 6th November, 186(, some four miles below New Brunswick, having run agevtet @ runken canal boat lying in the brd of the river, while on her way to Brooklya, New York. canai boat was sofar under water that persoas na gating the river at night were unable to see where she Jay. The steam tug Swan, belonging to the claimant, leit New Brunswick on same evening with the H. 1. Day, but some hours betcre her, for the city of New York, with six capal boats and barges in tow, laden with coal and other articles; and while proceeding cown the river, met the propeiler Erie coming up, which came in collision with one of the canal vosts with such vio Jence that she immediately bilged and ik. Tue col isioy was owing to the regligence and carelessness of the propeller, and without any fsult on the part of the tug. The ground upon which the libellants seek to re- cover for the loss of the schooner and the cargo, ocos Honed by the veseel running upoo this sunken canal oat, is the negligence and want of care on the part of the tug in not a buoy or boat at the place witn alight, or in some other way giving reasonatie waro- ing of the danger to vesrels aor ting the river. The Court below dismissed the livel, holcing that no such cuty, uncer the circumstance Amy upon the tog; bi ‘re inclined to concur. It is se:d the ow: id oe beli responsi- die for the obstruction in this case, us thoy were instra- ip producing it, baving towed the bont to the place where she was suuk, Hut this was an act not only lawful in itself, bat an act procured by the owners of the caval boat. Ibere is nothing, therefors, in this circumstance thet can, upon apy consistent reason'ng, ebift the responsiblity from the owners of the boat to those of the tug. But the true answer to this suggss- tion is, that the circumstance of the boat being on the river at the place where she wae run into and sank, was the fault of vo one. She bad a right to be there And we may add, alro, as admitted by tne facta of the once, it was Do fault of ritber of these parties that rhe was at the bottom of the river. Tnat was tho fault of the vessel that run her cowa. The argument that would prove the tug liablé im this case to place lights at the Jace of the sunken boat to warn vessels of the danger, k seems to us, must be carried the length of makicg ner responsible for raising the boat, and removing the ob ttruction. For wedo not ree how that duty is to he distinguished from the one elsimed of keeping up lights or some other notice of the danger, ao lon; the oo struction coptinues This duty, a8 to lights, cea pe maintained on)y upon the ides tnat this is responsible for the obstruction. We cannot thick her thus respon tible, where she is neither the owner of the thing con- stitut'ng the obstraction, nor in any way in fault in placing tt there. Decree below affirmed.

The Reported Discovery of Gold Along the Bani of the Arkansas, Binoe writing yous few days ago of the discovery of gold along the Artansss river, I have again been “pros. peeting” fer gold on the banks of that river, at a point mear the Post of Arkansas, a all village near the mouth cf the river. The result of my trip was, that I Dave been more successful than in my Orst discovery of gold afew months ago. Those examiastions were made to ascertain, beyend a doubt, the real existence of gold here, and from what cause, and were made between high and low water marks, and also at various places between those points. The result was that I found the bright ‘tiny yellow particles’’ to exist in greater aban- dance than I st first supposed or found in my first covery of gold on the Arkansas. Gold also exists in t! way of ‘ust’? mixed up with the deposits ef sand; but from the want of the proper materials, and nee of the proper mode of washing fer the dust, procure apy tangible evidence of the fact, as the mode of washing for the dust had not effect of se parting it from the sand aad other substances coa pected with the ¢eposits om the banks of the river, and which are of a very heavy jcult to se- parate {rom other substance: ‘rom the examivation made of T, [eaw sufficient evidence of the nee of duct, and whish is conclusive evidence of the real bodies of the gold to of the Arker: would not be profitable for gold. and only could be made profitable by the appli caticn of scientific machinery and scientific examios- tions, to ascertain the adeptation ef the present ma- chinery to se a 18 from the deposite of sand, or to originate such machinery aa would answer the necessary era ‘OoDORUS, Presentation Day at Yale [From the New Haven Counrser, June 14.)
