THE RUINS OF PARIS.

Englishmen who go to Paris must be za tonished at the slowhees with which the rebuilding of the palace and houses burnt by the Commune is proceeded with. The Ministry of Finance bas abandoned its former site and remored to the Louvre, but the ground is formerly occupied still awaits a parolaser, and, with the exception-of-the corner of the Ruo de Bivoll and of the Rue Castiglione, offers the singular spectacle of waste hand in the busiest quarter of the town. The Tuileries are being robuilt as slowly that no perceptible change bas as ver taken place in the dreary ruins which fare too gardens. Private houses in the Rae de Lilla are being gradually finished, at Ionot outwardly, to the delight of the neighbourhood, who win last barulioved from the unsightly. safoldings which took up the greater part of the narrow pavementa; súd from which showers of plaster were ontinually descending opos the banks of passers-by.
