Her Majesty at Jersey . —A Jersey contemporary of Saturday last says . :: —The Queen paid a flying visit to this island to-day .

After making a circuit of the principal streets the Queen proceeded to the New" Victoria College , where she was received by the Principal ( Dr .

Here her Majesty seemed struck with the handsome design of the great hall ( which contains a good copy of her own portrait , by Winterhalter , ) and the vie av from the window , but her stay was short ; no address had been prepared ; and after writing her name on a piece of paper ( no book being at hand ) , the Queen and Royal party departed , made another cirquit of the town , and re-embarked at 1 o ' clock . Considering that the whole of the arrangements were extemporised , the thing went off vei'y well . The weather , as usual , was splendid , and the scene at certain points , the harbour and the college , are of great beauty . Not less remarkable wns the orderly good humour of the people . Although there did not appear to be a single policeman in the place—only a few gentlemen acting as special constables—and the population is of the character called " mixed , " contrast with a London mob was wonderful . There was not n , symptom of disorder , and , though n little exuberant arid demonstrative in their loyalty , the spirit which animated them was not to bo mistaken ; and her Mojestyand the Prince evidently appreciated the warmt h of their greetings . Sir George Lewis , the Home Secretary , was in attendance on the Queen . ' Election News . —At the olection of anew member for Devonport , in tho place of Mr . Wilson , the candidates were Mr .

The Journeymen- Bakers . — The journeymen bakers of the metropolis have for a long time been agitating for a reduction of their hoxirs of labour j and for a cessation of night' work , and the moderation of their views may be understood when it is said that twelve hours a day is the time they desire to restrict work to . The bakers have a reasonable case , if they could onl y convince their employers , arid get people not to insist upon hot rolls . of a morning .

ENTRY INTO PARIS OF THE ARMY OF ITALY . The triumphal reception of this division of the French legions took place on Sunday in tho presence of ah immense concourse of spectators . The preparations were most extensive and splendid as to decoration ^ but the effe ct was marred ' by heavy showers of rain which occurred during the procession . Seats were erected for nearly 20 , 000 people around the Place Vendome . The greater part of the Corps Diplomatique were present . The Emperor left the Tuileries at a quarter to
nine , and proceeded by the Rue Rivoli to the Bastille , where , at nine o ' clock precisely , he found the leading column of the army of Italy in readiness to march onwards . Ho placed himself at tho head of the column , and gave the signal to proceed , within two or three minutes' of his arrival at the place . Tho reception was rather cold to the Porte St . Denis ; from thence westward , the cries were loud , frequent , and hearty . " Vivo l'Empcror ! " was cried very genorally ; but the favourite cry was , beyond all doubt , " Vive la ligno ! "
THE EMPEROR ' S SPEECH . In the evening a grand banquet , to wliich 300 persons were invited , was given by his Majesty the Emperor , to the principal chiefs of the army , in the Salle des Etats . At the close of wliich the Emperor spoke as follows : — "The joy I experience at finding myself again with , most of the chiefs of the army of Italy , would be complete if it were not tinged with the regret to behold soon the dissolution of the elements of a force so well organised and formidable As Sovereign and as Conimander-in-Chief , I thank you again for your confidence . It was flattering to me , who had never commanded an army , to find so much obedience on the part of men who had great experience in warfare . If success has crowned our efforts , I am happy to attribute the greater part of ¦ it . tivthoso skilful and devoted Generals who
rendered my command easy , because , animated yntlx the sacred fire , they have incessantly given the example of duty and of disregaad of death . A portion of our soldiers are about to return to their homes ; you yourselves are about to resume the occupations of peace . Nevertheless , do not forget what we have done together . Let the remembrance of obstacles overcome , of dangers eluded , of imperfections discovered , be ever prespnt to yoxir mind , for to the warrior past experience is science . In commemoration of the Italian campaign I shall distribute a medal to all who took part in it , and I wish that today you may be the first to woar it . May it recall mo sometimes to your memory , and while reading the glorious names engraved thereon let each exclaim , ' If France has done so much for a people who is her friend , what would she not do for her own independence ? ' I propose the health of the army . "
ceedingly well received on the Place Vendome . ; but the favourite beyond all question was Marshal M'Mahon . His appearance was saluted by waving of handkerchiefs from all parts of the place at once , and bravoes which lasted for several minutes . General Forey was hailed with a storm of applause . The generals returned the cheers of the public by raising the sword-hilt to the height of the face arid bowing repeatedly . Many officers of lesser rank came in for a share of special applause , while the flags , riddled with balls , called forth expressions of frantic delight . At eleven o ' clock the rain came down veTy smartly , and in less than five minutes half the tribunes were evacuated . This shower did not however last long ; bits of blue sky began to appear , and many of the ladies who had taken shelter under the tents made braising
tribunes and under improvised y the ample velvet hangings which bordered the front of them , came back to their seats . In a quarter of aa hour , however , another thunder shower came down . Presently a regular water-spout , in comparison with which the preceding showers were mere sprinklings Avetted people through in a few moments . All this while the Emperor and his marshals sat on their horses , wet through to the skin . The rain ceased a little before the Horse Artillery of the Guard ,, which closed the cortege , had marched past , and the Emperor , without losing a moment , set spurs to his horse , and , followed by his marshals and staff , proceeded to the Tuileries . It was just half-past two when the review was over , so the Emperor sat exactly four hours on horseback , seeing troops march b \ - without intermission all the time .
Tho Emperor reached the Place Vendome exactly at half-past 10 . The Empress and tho Imperial Prince had arrived half an hour previously , and had taken the places prepared for thorn . The Prince wore his uniform of a corporal of Gronadiors , and drew his sword and placed it at the carry when tho Emperor appeared . His Majesty , approaching tho balcony ^ saluted tho Empress , and then turned his horse round facing the Napoleon Column , to see tho matching past . Marshal liandon , tho minister at war , Marshal Magnon , tho commaridor-in-cUiof of the army of Paris , and the Emperor ' s porsonul staff , ranged themselves immediately boliind him . Princo Napoleon took no part in the procession . At tho head of the procession came tho wounded , and aftor thorn came tho Imperial . Guard , commanded
by Marshal Rognault Saint Joan d'Angoly , an elderly looking man , with white luvir , mustachos , and Imperial . Tho Artillery and Engineers of tho Guard brpught up ntlio roar , and when thoy had , gone by , Marshal liognault Saint Joan d'Angoly , ordering his statf to follow tho lino of march , moved to tho roar of tho Emperor , and ranged himself by tho side of Marshal b Randon and Vaillant . This order was foliowod , in accordance with military usngo , by tho four marshals commanding tho four oorps d ' armfie , which followod in succession , viz ., Marshals Bftvaguay d'HUUors , M'Mahon ( DukQ « of Magenta ) , Canrobort , and Nlol .
