Queen Victoria, which gave unusual offense to the English people, has been decorated by the French Government with the cross of the Legion of Honor. If the decora tion had been granted to bin as the author of the caricatures it might have been construed as an official affrant, but the record shows that it had been promised to him in re- cognition of his high standing as an artist before the objectionable caricatures were drawn. 11 is not, therefore, clear how any connection can be established between the Embassador's departure from Paris and that incident.
Considering the intense feeling of antagonism to England which possesses the French people, the British Embassador could do nothing at. the present junctive more impolitic than to give his retirement from Paris the political colouring ofan indirect rebuke for an official act of courtesy, which by a strained interpretation might be construed into a sign of unfriendliness to his own Government.

PEKING, March 5th,
A PLEASANT PROSPECT!!*
A Paking telegram to the M. C. D. News states that H. E. Steng has been denounced by a Censor, a partisan of Prince Chipg, on the ground that Sheng himself sent news to Kin Lien-shan of his proposed arrest and advising him to leave Shanghai. The Censor therefore recommends that Sheng be given a month to capture Xin, failing, which Sheng should suffer the sentence destined for Kin,

The following really remarkable statement is from the New York Maritime Register of the 24th ult:
Cliristian H. Goebel is the inventor of the Power Multiplying Engine, for which he claims almost supernatural results. The principle of his invention has, however, to a certain extent been demonstrated, and a large number of able engineers, while considering Mr. Goabel's invention as yet in an experimental stage, watch with a great deal of interest is practical application for manufacturing and other purposes, and share with the inventor, more or less, bis expectations, which we describe in brief as followsMany attempts have been made in the past to reduce the cost of power as developed by stationary engines, and those used for transperting passengers and freight. More convenience in the use of power has resulted as in the case of electricity, but stem is required for generating (except where water power is available), and this can only be done at a heavy outhy. Momentum engines have been tried, and some that derive their power from the explosion of gas or various kinds of carbon oils, but the power genomted by this class of engines is so sinal that they are confined to small limits. This leaves steam in almost entire control as a producer or deve- loper of power, but with a strong prospect of a rival which will soon almost entirely supersede it.
