Napoleon Illl.—The Review in Honor
• of the. Emperor of awaria.
Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bolletinj
Pamir, November 27,1847.=—Garibaldi Is a pris
oner. The Pope is ill. Is the Vatican to be the
Music de !tome? and Paris the seat of the Papal
empire ? Napoleon is lavishing heart, brain and
purse upon this magnificent city. Take any
stand-point and you see before you broad ave
nues, whose promenades, trees, fountains, statu
ary, historical monuments and rows of elegant
and palatial residences are kept in perfect order;
and from the princisal observatories you see laid'
out the grandest eityln the world. The newspapers
clamor about extravagance, oppression, outraged
liberty of citizens. Still the vigilance continues,
the work progresses, the Frenchman is in a per
petualecstacy of delight over his native city and
Napoleon —? Is be working for the glory of
France ? Is he building a monument for his own
fame ? or 'does he work for the Church, and thus
secure a high altar Where the Pope shall cele
brate in the future muses for the repose of—Na
poleon ? His bust in marble and bronze, his por
trait in oil and crayon, his figures in tapestry;
equestrian, pedestriari and reclining statues,
medallions and basso relieroa, meet the eye
at every turn, and all say be is great, he is hand
some, he is liberal—what is he working for?"
I saw him at the Bois de Boulogne on the day
the Emperor of Austria reviewed the French
troops. What a scene! Through the grand
avenues of the wood, on the banks of its lakes
and rivulets, skirting the borders of the immense
racing park, and crowded into the tribunes, were
the youth, fashion and wealth of Parisian society.
Forty thousand troops in bright uniforms, in
fantry, • cavalry and artillery, 'running, danc
ing, promenading, flirting with the vivan
dieres, and enjoying themselves as only French
soldiers can on a gala-day. Suddenly a
cry of " L'Empereurl" changes the scene
with magic quickness. The guard of the Em
press dashes up to the tribunes, the flying car
riages of Her Majesty and suite follow, and in a
moment Eugenie, the pride of the Frenchwomen,
is bowing her acknowledgments to the, acclaim
ing multitude. The field! it bellies deecription.
In solid squares stand the troops, horse and
cannon, the waving plumes, flashing bayonets
and impatient neighing of the ex
cited horses, the only proof that the
whole vast scene is real and riot a
picture of the imagination. Amidst the roar of
cannon, the Kellor drums, and the shouts of the
troops, the tVeo Emperors enter with their at
tendants and guards: What a contrast! They
advance to the tribunes, salrite the Empress, and
then begin their galop round the field. Now the
field glasses are in requisition for it impossi
ble. to follow them with the naked eye. A proud
day for. Napoleon! When the 'oung Emperor of
Austria entered Paris, from the depot out the
Bouleurds, out the Charrips Else...es, - to. the pal
ace gates, two unbroken lines of French troops
stood with arms presented, so that literally miles
of bayonets separated, him from the populace.
Now they are to move before him, and well do
they hnowhow well earned ifl their reputation as
soldiers.
The Emperors reach the tribunes, take their
positions Teeing the. Empress, without dismount
ing; and the *hole army passes in review be
tween the Emperors and the tribunes. The white
uniform of • the Austrian Emperor and his two
brothers the archdukes,with their red sashes and
green plumes, was extremely bright and fresh
looking, and vOry appropriate for the youthful,
'gay and qacetal wearers. Napoleon seemed de
pressed add anxious and his ejTorts even to ap
pear to enjoy the day could be plainly seen. Such ,
marching, riding and mancenvering, was never
surpassed. Sir/Waiter Scott would have im
mortalized the event. The review over at 10
o'clock, the Empress retires to St. Cloud, and
Napoleon escorts his guest to the Palace of the
Elysde,s, and troops and people are, until eight
o'clock, slowly working their way home,
moving on foot, horse and in carriages in such
numbers thatit could be compared to nothing
but the assemblage of nations at the judgment
call.
It will give an idea Of the width of the Menus
des Champs Elyeas to i state that there.were nine
lines of carriages in continnonsoumge,

'evening It was announced that the two Emperors

green velvet drapery+ ornamented with gokkia
bees. Inside the house was crowded, the royal
box elegantly draped with : crimson velret,

' RASH STEPS.
(Cerreepondenee of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
THE' GUILLOTINE AT PARIS.
I will not waste Limo in vain apologies for so
IoW an act as attending an execution. Perhaps
wanted material for a tale. Perhaps I had a
commission from our Legation to examine the
machinery of justice In France. . perhaps I. was
an emotion-dninkard, seeking sensation in its
puree, alcoholic form. What is more to the
purpose is,that I really did join with that motive
a 'party of friends who had agreed to go. This
was on Monday last, the twenty-filth Novemlier.
"Alt, I have the feeling already !" said one of
us over his black coffee, with a slight delicious
titilver, in the restaurant where vie had our ren
dezvonts. We were about a dozen, all Parisian
except myself.
"Feeling!" exclaimed another, more experi
enced. "There is no feeling whatever. I com
prehend the 'subject, tor I have assisted at three.
Look, you are walled in with t compact crowd.
It is twilled, the point of day. The throng is
whispering; babies are scoldin'g upon the shoul
ders of their papas. You bear the cry of the
peripatetics, 'Who will have cigars and a light ?
Fine champagne at a sou the glass!' Then some
body tells you that it is over, and you go away,
The criminal is not upon the platform six seconds,
unless he resists. The executioner is a &Han
tbropist, who has always made the guillotine a
passionate study, and who has accepted his office
from benevolent Motives. This man moves, and
the blade falls, the criminal's head "shoots' into
the smaller oval basket, while the other baaket
receives the trunk. 'A few minutes after, the
guillotine ,is skillfully taken to pieces, and the
ordinary sweeping-women of the municipal ser
vice have absorbed the blood before congeals
don. That is all l"
About one in the morning we turned out in
force, and hied towards the Place of the Five
Stones, as the common 'people term the Place
ela Roquette. The name comes from the five
ocks set in the pavement; , and serving in time
of need as supports to the instrument, and ap
plies to a small widening of the Rue de la Ro
quette in front of the New Bicetre. This prison,
of all the model prisons of Paris, is the most ad- .
mirable, the most systematic, and the most
frightful. Your stay there is sure to be short,
you are treated with refined humanity—and you
leave it only to be exiled or to die. In the
finished classifying French system each jail or
de:pot halt a separate need and a distinct population.
The great throng of petty criminals are committed
to the New Force. Females, to St. Lazare. The
Clieby, devoted,entirely to debtors, has recently
been humanely closed. The old Conciergerie; in
the Palace of Justice, receives state criminals;
here lay the poor young Pole who drew on 'the
Czar, in a sinister dignity, counting the hours
before his trial by the ticks of the same great
clock that had throbbed in the ears of the
wretched Marie Antohiette. The Penitentiary,
or Renee of, Correctional Education, receives a
continually increasing family of young offenders.'
While irmnediately opposite rise the fatal walls
that only inclose for the galley-slave or for the
subject of the guillotine. The , convict Avinain,
whose doom concerned us, may have been In this
prison once previously, as he is an ex-transport
from Cayenne. .
The history of this wretch is a fresh comment
upon the utility of police surveillance, the fatal
consequences of which are so vividly depicted in
"Lea Miserables." Avinain was a butcher who
decoyed certain hay-and-feed 'vendors to his
premises, killed , them for their money, and car
ried their bodice piecemeal to the Seine. His
crimes were committed with calm precision, as
a means of subsistence, and he declared in Court
that he had despatched his last victim out of
compassion. "Dugnet had hurt himself in our
quarrel and I finished him from humanity.'
He was a large, intelligent-looking man, who
bore his sixty-eight years with a certain distinc
tion, and who apparently contained material
worth putting to some 'other use' than execu
tion, and which under a better system of public
correction might have been trained into good
citizenship. But under the grim French policy,
a man, from the moment of his- apprehen
sion for a crime, is the enemy of the
State. With us, he is innocent until •
proved guilty. In France, he is guilty until
proved the reverse. Then, front the moment of
conviction, however light the crime, the law
turns its myriad eyes, so benevolent to the rest
of the world, upon his future existence inimi
cally and with prejudice. Avinain liked to talk
during his imprisonment of the sufferings of the
convicts of Cayenne, and in his more animated
moments would inveigh against the surveillance,
that worst of penalties, which closes to the once
condemned every honest door and sets all the
ranks of society like a wall against the face of
the, young delinquent from the hour of his first
liberation.
We walked on towards the prison in two files,
and I talked to my neighbor, a young Parisian
of position and intelligence.
"Hoyt did you know the day of execution ? I
hive seen no announcement."
"The day is never announced; but one has only
to count three days after the refusal of the pri
soner's appeal in cessation. Avinain was con
demned the twenty-sixth of October—the next
day he signed his appeal, and was endued with
the strait-waistcoat. The appeal was refused on
Thursday—it is now Sunday night—you see ?"
We had to direct onr steps to the eastern ex
tremity of the city, beyond the Bastille, up to the
very gates of Pere La Chaise. As we got into
this vicinity, the natural' silence of a metropolis
after midnight began to give way to an
ill
omened animation. Banda of , the common peo
ple, walking ,together with a silent celerity,
teemed to press forward to a common focus from
every quarter. They. were wilder, ruder folks
than I ever saw in Paris, but
singularly restrained by an appetizing
sentiment of horror. Every butcher from La
Villette, in his stiffened blouse and half-washed
hands,, seemed' to. have thrown himself upon the
scene, 'but never alone. Who ever wont to an
execution alone? They wont about in compa
nies, In almost complete silence—a stranger
feature, in a Paris throng than can well be realized
by thosenot familiar with the populace the most
talkative in the world. The decOrum of my
friends, generally the gayest, the loudest, the
foremost in any Boulevard frolic, was, to me,
still more impressive. Perhaps they wore trying
to catch "the feeling." Arriving finally iti the
Rue do la ROquette, there was the-loison-wall,
and the sentry . paelog before the gate of doom
upon which might have been written Dante's
' words: A U 11Ope A66adon. Immediately before
the gate we saw. the 'five )ow atones, the foot
gtoole of OPT Lady tor d ttta,,Puillotine.
iimperte, gen Onion," sada voice of remark
able without anything of thOat:
eiing; tikt':•ol4er!:4,lloPgroe-I,ll4tTeke4l4l:
There will be no execution to-night. •You have
deeeived yourselves."
"But, Monsieur le Sergent---"
,"But, Monsieur, I tell you you are deceived.
and Y am in a position to know bettor than you."
"I affirm there 7411,,e no execution to-night,"
'said a gentleman in citizen's dress, who spoke
with an unmistakable accent of authority, and
who happened to have the arm of the sergent.
"I am apprised that it will not take place to
night.• Beyond that tknow no more than your
selves. But I counsel yon to separate definitely,
and in fine to leave the ground." "Circulate,
circulate," was the energetic refrain of a third
persOn, also in polished bourgeois costtuno, and
whose voice had a similarly authentic sound.
Under this significant influence, it was, not
unnatural that our first Impulse was to place a
liberal distance between ourselves and the spot
Which had been the aim and butt of all our
scheme. I paired off with the young man to
whom I had last spoken. Two more of our
company followed just behind. The rest were
moving about centrifugally across the throng.
"Are we to believe them ?" I asked, with a
stranger's provinclality.
"Believe them !" responded my friend, in a
tone of strong disgust. "We are neither to be
lieve nor distielleve: I only say that I know
nothing. The iristrugtions of the serpents, and
of the officers in plain clothes, simply are, dia
perae the crowd. That is exactly what they would
say in any case. • They wish to empty the street,
and to dissolve our band. •
"There now," be added, with increased displea
sure, "we are followed I"
Casting my eye carefully backward through
the deserted street, into which we had , retired, I
detected a tall officer keeping up with tll3 at a
moderate distance. Directly there broke from
behind this detective another person, who came
forward with a hurried slouch, so as gradually to
gain upon us. As he passed, we regarded him
sidelong, and saw a tall, active man, in a laboring
dress and blouse, rather more knock-kneed thhu
is usual with legs of such a length, and with his
shoulders elaborately hunched about his ears.
Walking straight up to our quartette, be took
the wall of us, and immediately and distinctly
became tipsy, so as to shoulder each of - us in
succession. We defeated the spy easily by
holding our tongues, and walking so slowly
as to leave him at a distance, and soon
turned. At the next corner, two more sergents
gravely talking to two moreblouses and laboring
costumes exactly like the first. From . this time
we were bandied from hand to hand of the
myriad-armed Juittlee of France. Every per
spective was closed by the figure of an erect po
liceman, the pointed hood of his overcoat drawn
over his head, and giving him in the brilliant
starlight the siThottette of one of the black peni
tents I used to meet in Rome. Accidental sol
diers from the Garde de Parbsprecipitated them
selves diagonally 'across us from time to time..
More histrionista, overacting their parts invaria'
bly, met ns at absurdly short intervals. Every
corner, and most of the doorways, harbored an
alert and silent figure, and wherever a troop of
gaping butcher:lids was seen, there followed
whither they weht the chorus of "Circulez!" and
the footsteps ofibe knock-knee in the blouse.
There is a glimpse of the espionage we were
talking about!
As we were not answerable for any offence, we
took this very lightly. We s had not collected to
the torbidden number of twenty, and we were
' not impeding the passage of the streets. We
therefore amused ourselves by drawing our
attentive satellites into all sorts of objectless
places, now 'moving with energy towards the
closed and opaque gate of the cemetery, and now
frankly turning, meeting our pursuers, and con
centrating again upon the prison door. To an
American;-• this effect of a meddlesome and pull
lanimons law was entertaining. The trouble and
stiutiety of the government was so dispropor
t
Oohed to our own innocence!
We played in capricious zigzags all around the
Place de la Roquette. The crowd was receiving
constant accessions, and had become very dense.
It included many women, anxious and glad to
wait until daylight in the cold starlight for the
chance of hearing from some favored spectator
the report C'est accompli 1. • And still our hooded,
our hunched and - halting retinue sprang up out
of the darkness to attend us, like the mysterious
crowd who conducted the poet to the Courtsof
Miracles, in the romance of "Notre Dame."

THE EX . PLOSION IN BALTIMORE.,
The following account, taken'from the
Balti
more American, of the fearful boiler explosion In
that city yesterday, is fuller and more in detail
than the telegraphic account upon our inside
pages.,
"An accident of 'a very serious character oc
curred this morning, shortly before seven o'clock,
on the Locust Point Branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, at a point near the foot of Hano
ver street. A train of coal cars, drawn by En
gine No. .144, was standing on the track ,at that
point, having had, some difficulty in getting
along in consequence of theslippery condition of
the track, when the boiler exploded with a ter
rific crash. The engineer in charge of the loco
motive, Alfred Fowler, was bkiwn about fifty
feet from the engine and instantly killed, having
his head somewhat mangled, and both his legs
and one arm broken, George F. , Gavier, em
ployed by the railroad company upon the re
pairs, of care, who was riding upon the engine
on its way down to Locust Point, was ago badly
`injured, and died in a 'few minutes. Randolph
Fowler, the fireman, a brother of the en
bineer, was standing upon the foot
oard at the time and was knocked over,
but received no injury. The bodies of the two
re
men were mov to. the Southern Police Sta
on, where Coroner Chalmers held an inquest,"
after which they were taken to their respective
residences. Fowler was aoout thirty years of
age, and leaves a wife and two children; he re
sided on Poppleton street, near Ramsey. Gavier,
who was about twenty years of age, was unmar
ried, and lived with his mother at Sextonville,
near Spencer's Crossing. He was formerly of
Frederick, Md.
The jury of inquest heard the evidence of Ran
dolph Fowler; the fireman, who testified that he
sae standing on the footboard at the time of the
accident; saw the engineer when' the explosion
occurred; he had just caught hold of the throttle,
and was about starting again; there was a grade
at the point, and the trahad been stopped; the
engine had gotten on more steam, but not more
than they generally carry; couldn't say whether
the boiler had been recently, examined; the en
gine had only been out of the shop two weeks;
men had been in her boiler at that time; witness
looked at steam gunge a minute before the ex
plosion occurred; has been on the road two
years and ten months, firing on the engine; it
was a very hard matter to get up steam on this
occasion, but witness didn't know why; had
never heard the engineer express fears in regard
to the engine; didn't know how long this cnigine
had been used; the man (levier was riding on the
engine at hia own risk, in violation of the rules
of the Company . .
Daniel Long, the conductor of the train, was
examined, but was so far from the °Agin° at the
time that he - line* very little 'of the aoeldent.
The jurors expressing a desire to fully investi
gate the condition of the boiler, an adjournment
took place until this evening for the purpose.
'TERRIBLE RALLIIOAD ACCIDENT
AVBDEA, IC&
A Woman Killed and a Mtn Nearly,
if Not Quite, Validly injured.
[From the Aurora Herald, Dec. ttl
Yesterday afternoon, as the passenger train
which rune between here and the Junction was
passing Snyder's Mills crossing, above Aurora,
at ran into wagon In which were riding Mrs.
James Casseimata Mr. Clark Smith and a little
girl, instantly Ulu! Mrs. Castaelman,and nearly. .
If not quite, fatally injuring Mr. Suilth. We saw
Mr. S. shortly after the accident, and although
he had a •very severe cut in the back of his head,
he walkable coovmse with his friends. fie had
every appearatoe of a badly injured man. We
understand that he was carried about a mile and
a half on thecow-catcher.
The little gi'rl saved herself by jumping from
the bind end of the wagon.
Mrs. Camelman's home was about one mile
east of the scene of the accident. We are in
formed, but do not know how much truth tnere
is in the report, that the train - was running at a
speed of from,2s to 80 mlles per hour, and that
neither the whistle was blown nor the bell rang
at the crossing. This may all be a mistake.
This is now the second serious accident which,
has occurred at .crossings , here within the past
twenty days, and we hope they may teach people
to be more careful in future.
Picture Buying vs. Art PatrOnage.
iror the Philadelphia. Evening Bulletin.]
A very superior collection of imported paint
ings at present on exhibition in this city, has
deservedly attracted the attention of the public
and occasioned earnest discussion among the
artists resident here. Many of them billeve that
such large and valuable art importations are
destructive to all native effort,and denounce,fur
'iliermore, the giving up of galleries in the Acade
my of Fine Arts for such exhibitions as contrary•
to the spirit of the Institution; This Is supposed
to be the fostering of American Art. The ultimate
benefit of such paintlngs , ppon the profession
none deny, as their tehllialcill excellence is very
great; but how such works can , be competed
witkwhen 'none or 'few of the advantages of
continental schools are enjoyed, is a question
which at present becomes a serious one with
many who could ill bear neglect. Those buying
valuable pictures from. whatever source add, to
the fund of our artistic dependence, bat if
their appropriations are entirely devoted to im
portations, they do not act in their highest
character as citizens.
They say to Philadelphia artists--" You yrill en
joy looking at my latest picture at the gallery of,
such and such an importer, and some day you
may do as well." The artist.will assuredly enjoy
the inspection of good paintings.: As to his ling
long enough to put observation into practice,
that is, without aid, quite another thing.
It would seem more practical and public spirited
if art-loving men of wealth should Say: "I have
another foreig.n picture to show you of great
Merit. ' 1 wish you to study it carefully and thee
paint me something with all the care it demon
strates. I have made an stfuple reservation from
my art appropriation for this purpose, and shall
expect a picture superior to your last effort."
Then an artist upon, making an agreement,
would work with new zeal and all the studious
