In order to give as ‘much attention as possible to the various departments, it ‘was determmed to start at 9 A. M., but through some mis- mnderstanding or neglect the hosts were not ail on hand, and® the Pacha wes kept waiting three quarters of sp hour. There were accompanying the Pacha, Heasan Bey, Suclik Effendi, J. Hosford Smith, ‘he Turkieh Coneul, Mr. Oscanyam, the interpreter, several of the Ten Governors, large deputations from the @ommon Connci!, and not a few outeiders, whose number, all told, amounted, with the additions during the day, to mearly seventy persons. During the day Judge Russell and others joined the company. It was proposed at first te ride to Harlom, and cross the river there to Randail’s Deland; but the programme was changed in order to give the guests a view of the Bellevue Hospital. On arriving hore the Pacha was placed in charge of Governors B. F. Pinckney, C. Godfrey Gunther, W. T. Pinckney, P. G. Malecey and Patrick MvElroy, and the tour of inspection @ommenced, The various wards of the mor oy ——e tings in tais city. whether the journey i's Island should be im boate or carriages, ihe ‘Doats received the preference, and the company forthwith marched to the smail flees which bad beea provided for occasion.

Some creckers apd cheese were produced «! the Warien’s Bouse, as a prejiminary forti‘ication against the labors of the prospective inspection. They were tasctiously termed “a la Councilmen” by Mr. G r, in alusion tthe re- ‘ent collation of Mr. Van Tine, at the City Hail.

The Pacha, how- ever, wore thick boots, suggested by his late viait to the Navy Yard, and the rest ot the company were too much accustomed to walking througb Broadway to compiain of bad walking on the island. Passing the male Almshouse, the party was welcomed by hearty cheers, such a one would hardly expect from paupers’ lungs avy where 6ise but under the fostering care of the Governors. A fying visit wag male to the female Almshouse, including the sick wards and the nurseries, and no little amusement was created by one of the youngeters, whose flaming red hair suspiciously resembled that of one of the Aldermen, and who lustily cried “Daddy” as the Oty Father passed by. "parough even muddior walke than had yet been ex- perienced the party tramped down to the peaitentiary, on the soutbern end of the Island, where the men were drawn up {0 gaoge, preparing to march to their Saturday evening meal. Some of the roughest'specimens eyed Jadga Russell evidently with no very amicable feeling, and the Judge's friends remarked that doubtlese there were many of bis old acquaintances boarded at the expense of the city by bis special request. There are al nearly six hexdred maie prisoners, and it wae quite a sight to see them all marching in cloee squa’s to their supper. The Pacha viewed them with much iptereet, and expressed surprise at the extreme youth of many, While ins recting the penitentiary the Pacha was much in‘erested in the construction of the building and the veatilation and s. cell Bus he bad krone | as the others, and hertity trick played upon Tiemann ehort!

Special Correspondence of the Herald. - Luacomptoy, K, T., March 2, 1868, The Land Offices—Pre empting Claims, dc. ‘The emigrant to Kansas generally experiences a great deal of difficulty in hie connections with the land office, After he has obtained and improved a claim he is fre- quently at a loss how to’ proceed to make it legally his own by the act of preemption. There 1s, in consequence, much trouble among squatters in regard to claims; fight- ing, litigations, and the jumping of claims, are the prolitic sources of joca) discord in the Territory. All such diffl- culties might be very readily avoided. ‘Tho United States government has all territorial lands surveyed, laid off into ranges, townships, and then into sections one mile square, each of thes sections being divided into four quarter sections, each of which is one- half mile square and contains 160 acres of land, The Tapges are parallel lines rvoning north and south af a dia tance of six miles: from each other; the are numbered from the weat, and ram the same on maps as longitadipal lines. The township lines run frem east to west six mile apart, and are marked on the maps like meridian lines they are numbered from the porth. The range tines and township lines thus divide the Te: into plots six miles equare, each plot, as before stated, is laid off into sections e mile square and quarter sectious haf s mile square, there beivg in each plot 86 sections, or 144 quarter seo: tione ; each of these quarter sections conta'na 160 acres of land, or one claim. The government agrees to give to every squatter who does not own that number of acres, one claim of 160 acros of land at # nominal price. Four land cffices are open in this Territory ia whieh squatters can file their intention to claim and improve aa) quarter section not previously taken ap,and at whici, Raving improved and bull a cabia upon stid quarter :ec- tion, they can pre-empt.

The excitement prevailing amougst the political cliques and coterles in Paris in regard Ww the refugee question re- minds one of the Pacifico days—with this exeeption, that the alliance at that period had nevor been such aa it haa* since been, ax! now the querrel has all the yeaom and animosity of @ kindred feud. Madame de Morny «aid to a friend of mine, the other night, “that from the hour of the attempt againat the Fmperor’s lif) the cercweit (the coffin) of the English alliance had been ordered.” Ex ~ pressions like these from % Minister's bouseholt nasarally re‘lect the thoughts of the genus loci. The truth is, that the bitterness of sentiment exist. ing towards England among all the officials abont Napoleon is beyond measuro great I am natia- fied that Lord Cowley himself looks upoa matters as fast progressing tov. is ecrisis, It was stated ome few days ago, by a party oc anected with the court, that Count Walewras tad made use of this significant revaaric to Marshal Peliesier, “That wie Hmperor was mad not to take advantage of Bis present position, The tume was coming when he must conveds freer institatious to France ; ‘® quarrel with England would them assume all the cum- drous forms that paralyze cuccess —now it waa quite du ferent—he had but to eny the word to pet armios and Beets in motion, and to unite all France as one man.” Mt was mot against the Emperor pers, but against the janguage universally prevaient amongst those vy whom ho ls surrounded, that Lord Palmerston uttored his famous #peech at the Mansion House. The Emperor is very wm- perate. Lord Oowiey i & man of (ew words, of \itthe or no fines#e, and from bis unpresuming habit wuite the Em - peror, who ofven opens out more to him than he would do w cleverer diplomatist. At the same time, all who ap- proach this inscrutable man—who never looks ope io the fase—believe he simply bides his time. After the report of the Hyde Park meoting and the agcault of the Frenchmon, ft was discussed ata Gaocet council whether orsigny should not be commanded to © quire an apology, or something of that sort. The Emperor, greatly excited, sald, “For God's sake, gentiomen, dca’t talk of this, or we shall be in extromities in twenty- four bours. I know Hyde Park and all the absurdities of 0 English mob, and if wo are w.se we must always tako higher ground than this.’ Notwithstanding this moderation of tone on the part of the Emperor, you may rest assured that al) that I staved to you in my last, in respect o lis dissatisfaction with England, i# etrictly tue, Supposing it posible that the alliance should be renewed on ite former basis, which is out of the question, it is certain that he woula demand different and better returns Tor all ho has done for Eng- land, It was be that fought and whipped the Rassians, and if be uni with the Continental Powers against England, he ‘aves the latter at their mercy, unless the United States comes to her aid. Napoleon thinks that Palmerston deserves what has befailen bim; and whether he revuros to office, or Lord Derby ea ceeda in maintaining his present position, 't is certain that he ‘Will not allow bimsel{ to be again made use of by Fagiand aerely for her own reifiah interests and parposes. This is the true key of all that has happened. Palmerston knew that the Emperor was deeply dissatisded with him, and heace his burry to conciliate him by his Comepiracy bil. The late Premier is too much given to duping those with whom he has any reiations ; but ito all over cunning men he occasionally finds himeelt checkmated. Napoleon is pot a man to be easily imposed upon, and ho haa there- fore made short work of bis qvondam political friend. Notwithstanding all this, Palmerston must come up acain. ‘He i the only man amongst the aristocracy that cas govern “vgland at present, and unless the Maachester men can succeed in inacgurating @ politics! miltenium, by rawing the middle classes to power, the Faglish peopie wil again willingly submit their necks to tho yoke of this veteran political charmer.
