FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1859,
Two Days’ Petes in Paris,
Two years ngo (tho 14th of August, 1857) tho
Writer, with a friend, descended tho utairsoftho
Hotel du Louvre, in Puris, and was just on tho
point of starting for tho llavro railroad depot,
when a gathering of Boldiera unusually largo, ©von
for Paris, showed that somothing was going on
whioh might be worth seeing. On inquiry, wo learn
ed that tho Emperor und Empress, with their sulto,
were to go in procossion from the Tuilories to tho
New Louvro, whioh wan to be inaugurated that day
Our plan had been to spend tho following Sunday
in ’tho lelo of Wight, (for Paris is no place for quiot
people on Sunday,) and we thought it possible th«t
we might so© Quoon Victoria at church there. Still
a “ bird in tho hand is worth two in the bush.” If
we staid we would oertainly see Napoleon and
Eugenie, whom, if we left, wo should as certainly
mise, while thoro was no more than ono chanco of
Beoing Viotoria.
Our baggage had beon sent down stairs, our bills
paid, and our rooms given up; but, going back to
tho offioo and finding, fortunatoly, one room va
cant, a little one in the attic, (the seventh floqr
from the ground,) wo’detorminod to remain. Some
days before wo had gone down to St. Cloud by
tho American Passenger Hallway, and walked
around, keeping in sight of the gale until tho Em
peror, us wo supposed, drove in from Paris. We
say supposed) for at the time we wero not quite
certain. Ho was in plaiu clothes, with a friend at
his side, but driving a light carriage himself.
Pooplc took off thoir hats as he passed, and in re
turn bo bowed. When ho entered tho gates of
St. Cloud park the drains of the sentinels thoro
sounded a miluto. Thcro was so little fuss made
( that wo BUbpected it might have been a lesser dig.
nitnry. When we saw him ngain, however, we
recognised him as him whom we had thus seen be
fore.
Tho uncertainty made us tho moro anxious to see
him, certainly , for it would never do to return
from Paris to Philadelphia and say that wo believed
wo had soon the Emperor. Then, too, tho fair
Eugenio would bo visible, and that was an import
ant matter. Many would rather see her than Na
poleon himsolf.
About ono o’clock wo went over into] tho Place
du Carrousel, a largo square justbaokof theTui
leries, with tho Louvro beyond, and found a great
crowd assembled, and a double Hue of soldiors reach
ing from tho centre door of tho Tuilories to tho
Pavillion Denon, (I think they called it,) in the
now part of tho Louvre, leaving a broad passage
way for the Imperial party.
Whllo wailing, tboro was plenty of timo to find
out what was to bo inaugurated Ac., and the writer
begs to be excused if a little information on tho
subject, which he shall now retail, happens to be a
littlo stale to some, for it may bo now to many.
Tho palace of the Tuilorici was begun to be
built about throe hundred years ngo by Catharine
do Medicis.* It is now tho official residence of
tho Emperor. Hugo and dark as It is, an air of
grandeur pervades it, not lessened by tho associa

it. It fronts with a breadth of nearly a thousand
foetf on tho garden of tho Tuilcrics, which tnkos
tho placo of our Washington Square, nnd though
much larger than tho latter, ia, in a pleasant day,
full of children at play.)
Hack of tho Tuilories, as before mentioned, is
tho Placo du Cnrrou«ol.s East of this is tho
southorn wing of thoLouvre,|f which, commencing
at the southeastern corner of the Tuilurios, runs
perhaps a quarter of a mile along the hanks of
the Seine. At tho end of this is tho Palace of tho
Louvro—a hollow square, measuring about five
hundred feet caoli way— tho prosent buildings built
at various times from 1528 to the early part of this
century,
Hero was a largo quadrilatoral of palaces with
ono side wantiug—)ho north. Napoleon l coin
monoed new buildings, to complete tho work; but
his plans were suddenly brought to an end at bis
fall. Louis PhilipjKj was not successful in reviving
the project.’ The last act of the Provisional
Government of 1848 was to authorise tho
jvorks to bo proceeded with. In 1852 Louis
Napoleon, while President, bad a grant of
25,900,000 franca decreed for the purpose, und
in July of that year th 6 foundation of tho exten
sion waa laid. The actual cost was not much
less than 40,000,000 francs. The palaces dqw cover,
or cnclosoflearly sixty acres of ground. Only eight
or nino years ago, a greut part of this space was
filled with dirty streets, rugged lanes, and mean
second-hand shops.
The prcsont Emperor has certainly done much
to beautify Paris, amt in fuct to wake it wore
healthy, though wore wodorn-lwking than some
old antediluvians would desire, lie has swept
Away, in his improvements,' many old historic
landmarks- Porkaps tho greatest advantage of
all is that vast numbers of troublesomo workmen
are so constantly employed, as to bo completely
kept out of mischief and revolution.
But to return to the inauguration. Precisely at
two o'clock, tho drums commenced their rataplan,
ft signal that the imperial cortege was leaving the
Tuileriea. Tho open spaco botwoen tho lined
of soldiers was bo wldo that little could be seen but
tho gilded coaches and gaiiy-caparisoncd horses
aud their attendants. Tho party entored tho new
buildings, where an address was mado by M.
Aohille Fould, Minister of Stato, to which the Em
peror responded. Various poisons engaged on the
works received decorations, and—tho inaugura
tion was over.
The cortege was to return by tho Hue Itivoli,
which runs by tho now building. Wo took a posi
tion on the edge of tho paveiuenf, and waited for
it. Presently came three or four carriages contain*
»ng various membors of tho imperial family, Ac.,
then tho Prince Napoleon, and his sister, the Prin
cess Mathilde. Lastly, the Emperor and Empress.
As they passed along Napoleon and Eugenic bowed
out of tho carriage windows to tho crowd, and wo
had a very good chance of seeing him, but not Air
bo well, as she was on tho other Mdo of the carriage.
But it was Bomothlng to have soon their Majesties,
if only “on tho wing."
The morrow August 15th, tho birth-day
of tho elder Napoleon was tho grand fete
day. The morning opened damp and cloudy. At
six o'clock, tho camion of tho Invalided ushered in
tho day. At a lator hour, public distributions of
hjeud, Ac., to tho poor were made, in various parts
of the city, by tho mayors of tho different anon
dissementi-. At noon, there was to bo ill and
Mass at Notro Dame, concluded by aToßeum.
Many of the chief functionaries of the State uud
city woro announced as to bo there. It began to rain
just as wo went to tho Cathedral, in front of which
wero numerous One equipages, and a largo crowd
of sight-scors. Within tho church, extended on
each side a long Hue of soldiery, keeping a space
clear from the door to tho intersection of the
transepts with tho nave, where were seated a great
many persons dressed in showy uniforms. Mem
bers of tho Institute wero sprinkled about in
green coats, embroidered with gold. Some ono
pointed out to mo a toll, finedooklng oOP
cer, ns Marshal Pclisslcr; but that was not
he, for ho must have been nt least a foot
higher than tho original. A woman, not
very young nor remarkably lino looking, wan
fixed off with a broad tri-colorod scarf over hor
shoulder, aud a gold medal throe inches or so in
diameter. She was, I understood, tho nurse of the
young AscaniuH of Franco. After tho service bad
been going on for some timo tho soldiers’ drums
struck up again with their rataplan, to nnnounoo,
perhaps, that the To Deum wnsabout to commonce,
Tho wholo service lasted but a short time. Notro
Dame is very fine in it* way, but is not to bo

When tho Tc Dettm was over, wo shouldered
amimbioila, purchased at the cathedral door, and
trudged down to tho Champ do Mars, where there
was to be & grand niook fight, representing tho
“taking of Kabylie.” A huge scaffolding had
boon eroctod, covered with painted canvas, repre
senting a fortress, Ac. “ Arabs ” were riding and
running übout on it; French soldiers were charg
ing, cannon banging, guns rattling, and altogether
there was quite a noisy time. Scattered around
tho Bold were all sorts of potty shows, and bands
of music discoursed at various points.
The greatest sight of all was tho people, who
almost filled tho great plain—more than half a
milo long, and fully a third of one in widih.
Standing on tho raised border, wo looked down
on tho crowd, with their umbrellas,compactly close
togothor. Good humor prevailed everywhere,
lyhcnan umbrella got in the way of the gazers at
any of tho spectacles, tho crowd would cry out,
u Down with tho umbrellas!” and if the hint was

they could, in spite of the rain, and did enjoy
themselves without any-of the rows I fear we

On tho Seine, in front oi the Chump de Mars,
was a grand'regatta. Ono of the row-boats car
ried tho American flag—unfortunately it was not

gratuitously for such as choso to go.
After tho fight thoro was a concert in tho Tuile
riea garden, at half past six. Thoro wero two hun
dred and fifty performers instrumental, and’ three
hundred vocal performers. The rain was by this
tlino on the point of stopping, which, of courso,
added to the comfort of all parties.
At night, all Paria was illuminated. Gas pipe
had boon extended all along the-Rue Rivoli for a
mile or bo, about twenty feot from the ground, with
jots every few inches. When they were all lighted,
tho effoot was brilliant. On the opposite side of
the street, along thcTuileries gardens, were rows of
lamps setofftho granite base of the iron railings,
not moro than a foot apart. Then tho gardens
themselves, tho Place de la Concorde, and the

The Disputed lloumlnry Question.
‘•Ion,” tho Washington correspondent of tho
Baltimore ISuu, in hi* last letter, say*:
“ Tho disputed boundary question which has
arisen between us aud the British Government is
ono that is not to bo soon or easily sotUed. It ha*,
unfortunately, bccomo complicated with a ques
tion of national courtesy. Tho seizure of the
island by one party is regarded by the other os a
broaoh of nationnl comity, and such it would cor
tainly have boon considered by Mr. Maroy, a* on o
of biß diplomatic lottera on the subject shows But
this point may, and probably will, be got ovor by
a disavowal on the part of this Government of the
proceedings of Gonoral Harnoy. The assertion
made, ana reiterated in somo of our journals, that
tho net was dono by ordor from thi* Government,
ia not entitled to credit; neither was tbo movomont
mado by tho advice or oven with tho knowledge of
our boundary commissioner, Mr. Campbell.
*• Genora 1 Harney may have been actuated sim
ply l>y a desire to afford protection of our settlers
on the island, irrespectively of tho disputed titlo.
But, Btiil, itwns inoio easy for Gonoral Harney
to tako such a step than for this Government
to retract it. Tho public foeling, especially on
tho Pacilio coast, has become excited on the sub
ject, and it much more readily affects tho
national intorest nnd honor than anything con
nected with the chronic Musquito or tho Bay
Islands question.
“At the lout advices Captain Pickett was to bo
reinforced, and tho British Ileot was under orders
not to permit the landing of more American
troops. Captain Pickett had also, under hi* or
ders from Gonoral Harney, determined to sacri
fice hia sixty-six men in nn attempt to prevent the
landing of British troops. If Governor Douglas is
half a* much of a aavago asourFrazor-nvcr people
represent him, ho has, cro thi*, tested tho pluok of
Captain Pickett.”

Harper's Magazine for October, which will be
published on Saturday, ia entirely original, with
the exception of Thackeray’s Virginians, which, by
the way, is to bo concluded in tho next number.
The following is a complete list of the contributors
to this number: D. R. Castleton, Esq., Joba Eaten

IreumutJ Prime, D. D., George Ripley, Esq., Mrs.
H. B. Smith, E. G. Squior, Esq., W. M. Thacke
ray, Esq., William Ross Wallace, Esq.
Of the papers, it will be safe to attribute the mi
nuto “ Life of Daniel Boone”’ to Mr. Lossing, who
may fairly be regarded as American hiatriograph
er-in-gcneral. The account of a “ Visit to the
Guajiquero Indians” ia aa clearly from the pen of
Mr. Squior. The fine poem i‘ Audnbon'a Ilymn in
tho American Forests,” is by William Ross Wal
lace. The “ Blind Preacher,” by one of the edi
tors, is a resume of Mr. Milburn's Autobiography
—a capital book, which will pay any ono for the
reading. Of tho tales, “Behind the Cloud” is by
Mrs. Haven, whom you, Philadelphians, know best
as Alice B. Neale. “The Pic-Nic,” a clever Re
volutionary sketch, is by Miss Fuller, who I pre
sume to be ono of the new contributors brought to
light by the announcement that “Harper” re
ceives contributions from every source. The scene
of “Two Men and a Woman” being laid in the
“Old Dominion,” it may solely be attributed to
John Eaten Cooke. The remainder of the papers

all of the animals and implements which may be
entered for competition. The large halls of the
railroad company, connected with tho grounds by
a bridge over Sixty-sixth street, offer every facili

convenience of visitors, who can pass out at plea

promise of & fine display in all departments. Tho
Horticultural Exhibition will be better than any of
its predecessors, and tho show of blooded cattle,
horses, and implements will, undoubtedly, be very
good. Probably the most attractive portion of tho
entertainment will bo tho competition forafifty

EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION OP THE KVCN-

VANIA.
(Correspondence of the Tress.}
Hamusbcrg, Sept. 21, 18*9.
Alter apeuJiDg half an hour in devotional exer
cises, Syuod resumed its sessions. Prayer by Rev.
Dr. Kurtz. Rev. Dr. Hay’s report on the annua!
communication of the late President was taken up,
and its several rccommeudations acted on. A
tract on the subject of tho paucity of ministers,
and tho Urge number of \ scant pulpit*, was au
thorized to bo printed and circulated, exhort
ing pious young men to turn their attention
to tho Gospel ministry, and also directing the
inindaof pious parents to consecrate their sons to
this great work. Rcvd’s Hay, Albert, and Leiss
wero appointed a committee to prepare the tract.
A by-law wo* adopted,authorizing the President
of Synod to grant nr/ ifittritn licenses only to ap
plicants who havo been duly examined by a regu
lar Conference, nnd rccommeudcd to the President
as deserving and qualified.
Another by-law was adopted, authorizing the
delegates elected (0 represent this body in General
Syuod, in case there exist vacancies nt any of its
meetings, to till them from among other members
of this Synod, who may bo in attendance.
Tho best method of calling pastor* to vacant
pulpits was discussed by Rev*. Fink, SeLs, Brown,
Stork, Huttcr, and others, butowiug to the evident
difficulties in the way of adopting ftny systematized
plan, no definite action was taken.
Rev. Dr. Hay, in hia report, introduced the
long-agitated question of a union of the Pennsyl
vania and East Pennsylvania Synods, and a subse
quent division on geographical grounds The two
bodies occupy the same territory, which occasions
frequent collisions, and divide* the brethren in
sentiment and feeling. To remove these difficul
ties, and unite tho Lutheran Church iu Pennsylva
nia in bond* of fraternal aympathy, has for some
years engaged the effort* of members of both
bodies, hut without accomplishing the object. The
subject was discussed in a fraternal manner by
Row S. K. Probst, delegate of the Pennsylvania
Synod, Dr. Seis*, and hi* lay delegate, Mr. Musser,
Stork, Brown, flutter, Wedekind, Titus, and
others. No definite result, however, was arrived
at, other than that the discussion elioited the fact,
that between the two bodies thero exist no differ
ence* which may not be satisfactorily adjusted
Rev. Mr. Huttcr made report on certain difficul
ties which exist in tho church at Williamsport, sus
taining the action of tho pastor and vestry, which
was adopted.
The Sabbati! Question. —Rev. _T. T. Titus, from
the committee to whom this subject was referred,
made tho following report, which was unanimously
adopted, viz:
Whereas, In certain quarters organized and
strenuous efforts arc being mado to promulgate un
scripturul and erroneous views concerning the
Christian Sabbath or Lord’s Day, aud to secure
from the Legislature tho repeal of thoso laws, by
which its proper sanctification and observance are
protected;
And Whereat, It is eminently becoming and
proper that Synodßand Conferences givo an expres
sion of opinion on thi* subject;
And whereas. The Synod of East Pennsylvania,
according to the teachings of the Lutheran Church,
over recognised the Christian Sabbath, or Lord’s
Day, a* ft Divine institution of perpetual and uni
versal moral obligation, whoso proper observance
and sanctification is H 3 binding upon tho hearts ami
consciences of mankind as are any of tho other
commandments contaiuod in tho decalogue : Be it,
therefore,
Resolve/l, That wo regard it as a high testimony
to tho wisdom, the virtue, and the piety of our
revered forefathers, that they enacted law* render
ing the dosocration of tho Sabbath a penal offence,
and securing to Christians of all denominations its
peaceable and unmolested enjoyment; and that to
tho repeal ef thesa laws, as & whole or in part,
this Syuod is strenuously and unalterably opposed.
Such ropoal wo would regard as a more entering
wedge for efforts, on tho part of tho enemies of our
common Christianity, to abolish the Sabbath alto
gether, and with it all existing religioui institu
tions. .. . o , ,
Resolved , That the officer* of this Synod be re
quested, in case circumstances shall seem to require
it to preparo ft memorial to tho next Senate and
House of Representatives, protesting against the
repeal oftho rfabbath laws, either as they apply to
city or country, which remonstrances shall be
circulated among all our congregations for signa
ture, and then transmitted to our State Legisla
ture.
Resolved, That whilst we view with deep regret

Memoir of Lord Macaulay.
[From the Illustrated New* of the World.]
The distinguished statesman, orator, poet, essay
ist, and historian, Thomas Babington Lord Macau
lay, was born at Rothley Temple, in the county of
Leicester, on tho 25th of October, 1800. He is
grandson of the Rev. John Macaulay, A.M., Pres
byterian minister of Inverary, and son of the cele
brated philanthropist, Zachary Macaulay, whose
great exertions to ameliorate the condition of the
Alncan race, and unecasing labors to effect the
suppression of the slave trade, won for bin an en
during fame and a monument in Westminster Ab
bey. One of the sisters of the eminent min just
named married Mr. Thomas Babington, a rich
Lnglish merchant, and the name of “Thomas B&-
bingtim” was bostowod upon the nephew—the
subject of our present memoir. Early in life he
was sent to TrinitjjuCoUege, Cambridge, where his
career was one of mgh distinction. Before he bad
reached his nineteenth year, he won the Chancel
lor s medal for a poem entitled “Pompeii*” two
years afterwards he gained the same Chancellor’s
medal for another poetic work, entitled “Eve
ning. ’ These poems were both published and
they served to bring the anther prominently into*
notice. Soon after the issue of “Eveuiag ”he was
jlectod to the Craven Scholarship, and in 1822 he
graduated Bachelor of Arts, and was elected Fel
low of Trinity College. In 1825 he obtained hi*
Master of Arts degree, and, adopting the law as
his future profession, he underwent the usual course
oi study, and was called to the bar, at Lincoln’*
Inn, in February, 1826.
In the meantime the young student began to de
velop a taste for literary pursuits. He commenced
by contributing essays and ballads to a periodical
ol limited circulation, called Knight's Quarterly
Magazine; his papers, always looked for with
much interest, speedily became the attraction of
the magaxine. Principally from the tone and
weight of Macaulay s contributions, this review
was looked upon as a work of considerable literary
importance. Professor Wilson used to say that iu
four or five volumes (beyond which the work did
not extend) equalled in talent any other four or
five in the compass of periodical literature. But
Macaulay’s genius soon found a wider field. In
August, 1825, some six months before his call to
the bar of Lincoln’s Inn, and while still under
twenty-five years of age, he contributed to the
Edinburgh Review his famous essay on “Mil
tou.” This was the first of that long series of
brilliant essays, with which, during twenty yean
subsequently, ho enriched tho pages of the Re
new.

The Whig party, then in power, were not alow to
recognise the merit* of the eon of Zachary Ma
caulay. They gave him a lucrative appointment
(a Commi«iouer*hip in Bankruptcy,) and in 1830
introduced him into the House of Commons, by
placing the •• pocket-borough ” of Caine at his dis
posal. A* a member of the legislative body, Mr.
Macaulay distinguished himself bv a zealous de
votion to the business and debate* of the time. He
became secretary t-j the Board of Control, and
figured prominently in the protracted Parliamen
tary discussion* on the Reform bill. Mr. Macaa
lAys speech on this question created a degree of
interest sufficient to warrant its republicauoa in
the form of a pamphlet. In December, 1832, he was
returned to the first Reformed Parliament as mem
ber Ibr the boTongh of Leeds. He continued to re
present the constituency of this important borough
until February,#B34, when he resigned his seat
and hi* appointment at the Board of Control, to
go out to India as a member of, and legal adviser
to, the Supreme Council of Calcutta. He remained
in the East about three years; during his stay he
acquired a handsome independency by the lucra
tive nature of hi* offlee, and at tho same time be
continued to perform hi* duties as one of the
hdinburt*Ji Review staff. Bome of his most ela
borate articles, we are told, were then written and
sent over from Calcutta. On his return to Eng
land, Mr. Macaulay turned his acquaintance wiui
; tho affairs of India to account in his brilliant
essay* on “Lord Clive” and *' Warren Hastings.”
In the year 185*5. Mr. Macaulay again accepted
office under Government, lie became Secretary at
War, and was soon afterwards elected Member of
Parliament for the city of Edinburgh Tne right
honorable gentleman retained thi* position ia tho
Government until September, IMI, when the
Whig ministry in which ho served gave way to the
second Cabinet of Sir Robert Peel, and he (Mr
Macaulay) was consequently deprived of office.
The general election, which followed immediately
afterwards, did not disturb Mr. Macaulay ia the
possession of his seat for Edinburgh. He wa3 re
elected, and continued to sit for that city During
the whole time of Sir Robert Peel's rule, he vu
conspicuous a* an active member of the Whig Op*
pDgition, and as a consistent advocate of free trade
an l other liberal measure*. In 1848, Sir Robert,
having carried his great measure of Commercial
Reform, succumbed to tho unceasing attacks of the
‘•country party,” and made wayfbr the return
of the \\ higs, under Lord John Russell. Mr. Ma
caulay resumed office in this administration aa
Paymaster General of the Forces, with a seat in
the Cabiuet; and ho fulfilled the duties of the po
sition until 1317, when be unexpectedly lost bis
seat in Parliament. The majority of the constitu
ents of the Scottish, capital disagree-! with the
right honorable gentleman on the subject of the
Muynooth grant, and took the'opportunity of tbo
general eleetiou to oust him in favor of Mr.
Cowan, a citizen, whoso theological bias »pd ec
clesiastical views were much more in favor. Tbo
rejection of so distinguished a man, under such
circumstances, caused great surprise, and wa3
warmly discussed all over the country. Regret
at so untoward an event was so generally ex
pressed that Mr. M&cauiay might easily have found
another constituency anxious for hi* servioes, bat
he preferred availing himself of the opportunity
thus presented of withdrawing altogether from the
duties of Parliament. At the next* general elec
tion, the citizens of Edinburgh recovered their
credit by replacing Mr. Macaulay in hi* Conner po
sition. although the right honorable gentleman de
clined to come forward to canvass, or iaanyjivay to
solicit the favor of the electors. During tho next
three or four years ho continued their representa
tive in Parliament, but the slate of hi* health pre
vented him from attending the House with bis ac
customed zeal. At length, in 1855, he resigned
hia scat, and, at the same time, intimated hi* in
tention of not again resuming pubha or Parliamen
tary life.
it is, however, in tho world of literature that
Mr. Macaulay has won his great fame. As an es
sayist he had established a brilliant reputation
long before his History was commenced. Some
years after his return from India he continued a*
sjdutously as ever his contributions to the IJt/in
burgh Review. In 1812 ho published hi* ’’Lays
of Aucicnt Romein 1843 ho issued a collected
edition of the more important c-f his “ Essays;”
and in the following yoar he made hi* last contri
bution to that particular form of Literature in the
paper, ‘‘The Earl of Chatham.” It appeared in
tho Edinburgh Revieic, and was included in the
subsequent edition* of his collected essays. The
first and second volumes of Mr. Macaulay's great
work, “ The History of England, from the Acces
sion of James II,” were published in 1849, and
.'heir appearance excited unusual public interest.
Edition after edition was printed, and a* rapidly
contumed. An extraordinary degree of eagerness
was manifested for the continuation of the Histo
ry; and when, in 1855, the third and fourth vol
ume* did appear, they caused a furore of excite
ment in the publishing and reading world of Bri
tain, “ to which." observes a good authority, ** tha
annals of Paternoster Row hardly furnish.any pa
rallel.” , . , c,
A collected edition ot Macaulay s ‘* Speeches,
Parliamentary and Miscellaneous,” wa* published
in 1854; the *• Speeches,” however, did not prove
so popular as the “ Essays.”
fn September, 1857, the historian received tha
peerago in acknowledgment of hi*
great literary services; in addition to this he ha 3
at different times received other honors, to which
we must make a brief allusion, lie was elected
Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow in J 849;
in the same year he was elected a bencher of Lin
coln’s Inn; in 1850 ho was appointed to the hono
rary office of Professor of Ancient History in the
Royal Academy; and in 1853 ho received tha
Prussian Order of Merit.
