G. To the Editor of thj Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Sir I notice in your impression of to day, a well written brief paragraph, commenting on the injustice ot the expectation that a well dressed educated young female'? can maintain her position in a ladies fancy store upon sixteen shillings a week, Now that paragraph will be copied in to the English newspapers, and I regret to say, the Bub editors of the British preBS don't (as a clasB,) know that sixteen shillings" of Ameri can money is eight English. Sir, there are thousands of English artisans who are living or rather existing with their wives and families upon less then a sovereign a week, and as to the class ia question, the solitary governess," or "shop girl," or ''maker of braces," or ladies boots," or gentlemen's stock," or shirts," in their own metropolitan garrets. I can tell you, that so far from eight shillings (English), being con sidered bad pay, I know that one third of even that miserable pittance is nearer the average remuneration.

I do wish you would publish this note, if only to prevent tne misconception wnicn will arise when your correspondents paragraph is noticed by tne JSngnsn press. Miserable pay to unmarried, industrious, virtuous women "is one ol the evils necessarily arising out of competition and over population. 1 regret to find it here, where at least over population within the narrow limits of a sea girt island, in an old country such as Britain cannot be assigned for its cause, and especially where to your honor as a nation, women are treated with a deference and respectful consideration, so obviouB, and bo characteristic. Do not let it be said, that in this free and rising country, already elorious from what ehe has accomplished lor poor fallen suffering humanity and glorious beyond the wildest dream ot the politician or philanthropist in what she will and must accomplish in the instant future.

R. C. S. Londinensis, Ac, 190 Fulton street, Brooklyn. Mr.

Ewtcr Ab the season for the migration of our citizans to rural retreats approaches, it will not be amiss to add to the information, eagerly sought for, by an anxiously waiting crowd of expectants and allow me to add my quota, moved of course by a geuerouB inpulse, to add to your many readers. The beautiful little village of Monterey start not dear reader situated, lying and being amidst a cluster of hills and mountains, in the north eastern part of the famous Old Berkshire, in Massachusetts, has lately been made a very delightful summer retreat, literally and truly. AccesB thereto is by the New Haven and Housatanic Rail Road, and it lies abont two miles from the beautiful village of Great Bar rington, now being rendered somewhat famous by the improvements maae ana contemplated oy one of our prominent citizens. This little vil lage of Monterey, lies maaen among some tan hills, and it is truly charming to get a peep at the white church steeple, aud a glimpse of tbe beautiful lake, famous in all that country for its fishing. A new and all important attraction has been added to tbe place, in the opening of a public house of the first water (no allusion to the plan) by one of the cleverest and kindest landlords which Berkshire can boast.

The inhabitants, seeing that something must be done to open the treasures of scenery and the lake to lovers of the beautiful and fish, unanimously gave a call to their much respected physician, Dr. Turner, who has accepted the call, and been duly in. stalled landlord. We can only say that whoever finds his or her way there the enaning summer will find the season much shorter and more filled up with delights than those mis spent in fashionable resorts and fearing to ring the bell till our own family were seated at tbe table, you may rest assured we have already engaged it only remains for us to counsel others to go and do likewise. To invalids, requiring both change of air and medical attendance, the change seems peculiarly adapted and to add that the hoates is every way wojtby her estimable lord, is all that can be deemed necessary for an introduction to a summer retreat.

G. English Crew Murdered. A correspondent of the New York Observer, Writing from Athens, Greece, under date of April 26, 1854, says: We have received intelligence here that should be known in America, that captains cf vessels may be (in their guard in coming into these waters. The Bhip Harriet, of London, bound for Con stantinople, while off tbe island of Andross, was boarded, plundered or everything moveable, and the crew murdered. One of them was an American, of New York, named James Williams, aged 27.

The ship's papers were found on board in perfect order, and the log written ap to noon of April 11, 1 Bearing by compass, Cape Duro N. E. by N. 12 miles, weather calm and The next morning sne was ooservea oy tne people oi the island, drifting about, and on her being reached she was found in the condition mentioned with much blood on deck. "American Captains would do well to look ont tor pirates in the Archipelago." A Curiosity The aloe tin (Md.) Whig is responsible lor a "cane story," the substance of which we give here "John McNeal, one day about forty five years ago, stnek his cane in the ground on his farm, near Middleton, Md.

The cane commenced growing, and in a short time a thick coat of bark was formed about it and being kept carefully trimmed and tended, it increased in dimensions and grew up to the height of ninety feet. Alter withstanding the wintry blasts of forty five years, it was finally cut down a few weeks ago, when strange to relate, In splitting ap the first cut, the identical cane as first planted, dropped from the centre of the log just the same as it was when first planted Well it did!" Fugitive Slaves Captured. Last evening there arrived on the four o'clock train from New York, three fugitive slaves, in charge of a United States Marshal from Maryland. They were the brother and two nephews of the Rev. J.

W. Pennington, a man of education and talent, residing in New York, aud who received the title of D. D. in Europe. They made their escape from Sharpsbufgh, Maryland, on Sunday last, and reached New York in safety, per underground railroad.

Their arrest and rendition was conducted so quietly as hardly to be known. Phil. American, Saturday. Slander Suit. In the cironit court, for the last two days, a case which attracts a good deal oi interest has been on trial.

The plaintiff is William Dove, formerly an alderman of the first ward, and the defendant is John H. McBlair, merchant, doing business in the same ward of the city. The defendant it is alleged, circulated a report that the plaintiff had African blood in his veins, which he declares to be be a Blander, and the suit was instituted to recover damages. Joseph M.

The Supreme Judicial Court convened this morning at 9 o'clock, for the purpose of trying the indictment against James Wilson for the murder of William Adams, at the State Prison in Charlestown, on the 19 tb of July last. The evidence for the prosecution was to the effect that the prisoner, on the day when he was to have been discharged from prison, after having served a term ot four years for robbery of the Charlestown City Treasurer's office, while in a division of prisoners marching out of the cells in the morning, reached over the shoulder of the convict ia front of him, and stabbed Adams a colored prisoner, in the neck, so that he died almost instantly and threw the sharpened case knife, with which the deed was committed, over the wall of the yard, where it was soon after found, covered with fresh blood The act was witnessed by Ira H. Priest, the overseer, who had tbe division in charge, and also by several prisoners in the line. The Government rested their case after the examination of four witnesses. Mr.

Sears then opened the defence. He claimed that the prisoner was insane at the time of the murder, and bad been so at intervals for a long time previous, and was therefore wholy irresponsible for crimnal acts. He proceeded at length to comment upon the case in its legal bearings with this view, and had not concluded at 2 o'clock, when the court took a recess for an hour. The prisoner, from his iron dock, seems to regard all the proceedings with much impatience but not with any apparent anxiety of the reBult. He appeass to be about 35 years of age, and ib quite intelligent looking, though with a saddened expression of conntenance.

He is a native of England. Noble Conduct of a Woman. One day last week, a Mrs. Horton, residing about three miles west of Owego, saw a large pine tree fall directly across the railroad track. She instantly laid down the baby, called her husband from his work, and they both ran to the railroad, a distance of some hnndred rods, taking an axe with them.

But the tree was sound and not less than two feet in diameter where it crossed the track, tbe spot being at a shot curve in tbe road" and out of view from any considerable distance. Worse than all, the time for the train to pass was close at hand. Probably at the suggestion of the wife, as women are always best at Mr. Horton immediately took off his red flannel drawers, tore them in two, and ran up the road with one le his wife ran down with the other. In a few minutes the mail passenger train approached at full speed, when it was arrested by Mrs.

Horton, standing on the track, waving the leg of the red flannel drawers on a mullen stalk. The tree was soon cut and rolled off the track, with the aid of the passengers, who proceeded on their journey many lives and limbs having probably been saved by this really kind and noble act of Mrs. Horton. Savings Deposits. According to the New, York Courier, the deposits in the SavingB hanks of that city are nearly twenty seven millions of dollars When it is remembered that these deposits are made up of small deposits of fives and tens, up to thirty dollars, it shows what a very large number of persons are in the praotice of depositing, and that economy and thrift are virtues more extensively practised than people generally imagine.

In the Emigrants' Industrial Savings, the amount deposited last year was $730,390. Yet it is very common to denounce all emigrants as foreign paupers." There is a flow of capital into this country by meanB of emigration, of which few persons are aware. There is no record of such importations bat they unquestionably exercise now, and have for years past, a powerful influence upon the business of this country, through such important additions to our active means. Melancholy Occurrence. During the thunder storm on Teusday evening last, Mrs.

Sarah Price of this place was stricken by lightning and instantly killed. Medical aid was immediately called in, but lound of no avail, the vital spark had fled. Tbe deceased bad stepped a leet from the door to watch the operations of the cloud which was last gathering, when the fatal stroke came, demolishing a small shade tree in the yard, near which she was' standing. The fluid seemed to have struck ths left side of her head, singing her hair and lacerating her ear and arm, and literally tearing her clothes aud Bhoes to pieces and what is very remarkable, her little grand child, about two years old, was standing by her, and escaped uninjured, while a number of persons in the vicinity were more or less sensibly effected by the flash. Dalonegha (Ga.) Signal, 20th.

We saw yesterday the largest sea turtle we remember ever having seen. He weighed over 300 lbs and bad the appearance of having seen several scores of years, and his mossy back was almost covered with barnacles. He was taken by the rew of the schooner Sautee, off Hog Island, on her passage from N. York to this port, while sleeping upon the surface of the water. They approached him in a boat, seized him by his fins, turned him on bis back, and in this helpless condition made him a captive.

He Ib intended for the N. York market, where he will no doubt read iiy command the sum oi $20. Norfolk Indscision.A capital portrait has been published abroad of the king ol Prussia.

MONDAX EVENING, MAY 29.

WATER ELECTION, Thursday, June let, 1854 meeting In favor of Water. A meeting of those desirous of introducing water to the city, will be held at Montague hall to morrow (Tuesday) night. All who wiBh to aid this great projeot will do well to attend. Sunday Trains. An application was made to the Common Council Bcme time ago by the Long island Kailroad Company for permission to ran a train on Sundays to leave Brooklyn in the morning and return in the afternoon.

The reason urged as rendering the running of a train necessary was to enable the farmers on Long Island, who supply the citizens of Brooklyn and the lower part of New York with milk, to send in the usual daily supply on Sunday. It was urged against granting the privilege, that it would lead to abases that it would be taken advantage of by New York Sabbath breakers to go ont and enjoy a day's shooting in the woods. If the running of the train could produce results like these, the permission would very properly be withheld. Our city has hitherto been eminent for its observance of the Lord's Day, and we trust will always enjoy that distinction. The objection however, might be obviated by a regulation to prevent any person carrying fire arms from obtaining admittance to the cars.

The regular supply of pure milk is fnlly appreciated by all. So, also, the disadvantage, both to the citizens that use it and the farmers who produce it, of having the supply cut off one day in the week is a very serious one. Milk is of such a Derishable nature that it cannot be kept for two days, especially in summer. Ti pure article is a very important element of food; nutritious and agreeable in a high degree; while the swill milk of the cities carries the germs of deadly diseases into every system that imbibes it and is especially fatal to infants. In view of all these acknowledged facts, we cannot see any greater impropriety in providing for its in.

troduction to the city on Sunday, than in cooking our victuals or any other act necessary for domestic comfort. There is a decided feeling among the farmers on the Island on the subject, and the necessities of our citizens require the supply one day of the week as much as the othtr. Liter from Mexico. By the arrival at New Orleans of the steamer Orizaba, from Vera Cruz, we have dates from the city of Mexico to the 8th iost. Santa Anna made a triumphal entry into the capital on the 16th, on his return from Aca.

pulco. A general rejoicing, to be continued for three days, had been ordered, on account of a victory over Alvarez at Mount Peliquiro, in a battle fought after Santa Anna had abandoned the seige of Acapulco. The account of the affair, received from General Banco, says the government troops stormed Peliquiro on one Bide, and drove the rebels down me oiner. au ae. counts, however, coine from the government journals only, so that it is difficult to ascertain the exact truth.

The steamer Iturbide arrived at Tera Cruz on the 11th, with the news of the ratification of the Gadsden treaty. Vfssel Crushed to Pieces by tub Ice. The English papers state that the ship Lady Faulk land, which arrived at Liverpool from Apala chicola, reports having run foul of an iceberg on the 19th inlat. 42, long. 4G, by which she received consideiable damage.

On the following day she passed ti great quantity ot wreck; also a number of chests, boxes, which, as far as could be ascertained, appeared to be the remains of some unfortunate passenger ship that had beset and crushed by the ice which for the last two or three moths have obstructed the navig ion of the Atlantrc. A terrible scene was witnessed onboard the steamboat Star, at Philadelphia, last evening. The boat, whilst returning from Red nearly one thousand passengers on board, took fire around the smokestack, when about one mile from her landing. Prompt measures were taken to extinguish the flames, and the boat was headed for the nearest wharf, where the passengers were safely landed and the fire ex tinguished. During the excitement on board the steamer, many of the passengers could hardly be restrained from leaping overboard.

A telegraphic despatch from Troy announces that the Jury in the case of Mrs. Henrietta Robinson, charged with murder, after being out nearly three hours, returned with a verdict of guilty. She received the verdict very boldly, and exclaimed "Shame on you, Judge you are prejudiced against me She also charged the Jury with being bribed. Sentence was deferred until to day, to allow her counsel to bring in a bill of exceptions. The prisoner's manner after the rendition of the verdict was strange, and her language incoherent.

LivERrooL. Liverpool, fa so called, says a correspondent of the Evening Mirror, from the fact that in former times there was a pool on the spot where the old city now stands, which the Liver, a bird shaped like a Btork, frequented. There are none of these birds in England now, and some think the story a fubie but the municipal creBt of the city is a Liver to the present day which is embroidered in the collar of every policeman, and worn on the left arm of every cabman. The Nebraska Bill and the New York Representatives. Mtssrs.

James Maurice, John Wheeler, Jared V. Pi ck, Rufus W. Peckham and Andrew Oliver, Representatives in Congress, trom the first, sixth, ninth, fourteenth and twenty sixth Congressional districts of New York, have in press an address to their constituents, defending their course in opposing the Nebraska bill. The committee on slavery memorials appointed by the Presbyterian Assembly now in session at Philadelphia, yesterday unanimously reported against taking any action in the matter, and the Assembly adopted the report by acclamation. Peemnal.

Mrs. Daniel Webster BoBton stopping at the house ol Thayer, Monnt Vernon street. is now in Nathaniel Partipk Boyle, who. in order to save himself from being run over, caught hold of the coat tail of one of the men, whereupon one of those in the hindermost vehicle jumped out and deliberately struck Botle under the ear, supposed with onme hard tnbfltance he had in his hand, and killed him almost instantly. The ii tuiran ttretchts left the bod laying in the road and drove on, paying ne futther attention to him.

A colored man who witnessed the transaction laid the head of the dead man on a stone, where he remained the broiling sun for several hours until the arrival of one of the county Coroners. have not ascertained the names of those in the vehicles, bat shall endeavor to do so, and in the meantime we trust effectual measures will be taken towards bringing them to justice. It has come to a pretty pass if a man's life must be endangered by a parcel of blackguards, by being ruu over, and then iuhumanly murdered for en deavoring to save himself. Boyle was a sober, quiet, industrious young man, au apprentice to Mr. John Coulter, one of the contractors of the Fulton street sewer, and resided in Vanderbilt avenue.

The Star is slightly mistaken when it Bays that we commended the conduct ol Mr. Morris for "his opposition to the Pier Bill It was his advocacy of the Pier Bill and his efforts to pre. vent its repeal that we talked of. As to the fraudulonce of appointing extra help in the Counsellor's office, no one denies that the business of the department ia wofully in arrears and requires to be brought forward. On the contrary, we expected to see the Star encourage a tho rough investigation and posting up of the books instead of threatening an injunction.

We freely accord to Mr. Bergen all the praise his patriotic and honorable course in the State Legislature so well deserves, but we claim an equally "honorable mention" of Mr. Morris. P. S.

The inflowing letter.it will be seen, fully justifies our remarks: To the Editor of the Evening Star Dear Sir In justice to S. D. Morris, I wish to correct a statement made in tiie Star of the 27th which does him great injustic. You state that 'l the only whole soled advocate of consolidation within the House was John J. Bergen.

Allow me to state that I always considered Mr. Morris a Whole souled advocate of consolidation, and that he always advocated it in committee, and when it was before the House that the amendments, 'securing to the officials their unexpired terms of office, was not made by him, nor urged, or mentioned, as a condition to his support of the Bill. Mr. Morris did not oppose the Bill at the outset, as you stated, nor at any subsequent time, but acted in concert to se cure its passage. The Eagle, did Mr.

Morris no more than Jus tice in stating that he was a warm friend of Consolidation, and a determined foe to the repeal of of our Pier Bill. John G. Bergen. HroHWAT Robbery. Last Saturday evening between eight and nine o'clock a lady from the family of Mr.

Grannis, in Jay St. was seizedby a ruffian in Pierpoat street, near Fultou st who demanded a valuable broach he saw her weal ing. The lady, with great presence of mind and firmness, requested him to release his hold upon her throat and she should give it him, which was done, and looking for assistance she immediately called to a gentleman then passing on the opposite side for aid, who collared the rascal, when he threw down the broach which the lady picked up and ran to the house ol a friend in the vicinity. The light over the door of a porterhouse shining on his pitted face will enable the lady to identify him in case our vigilant police should hereafter arrest the fellow. The villian said that want of money drove him to desperation.

If the gen tinman whose timely assistance afforded protec tion from further violence, will Eend his address to 235, Jay or 96 Maiden lane, N. bis kindness will be acknowledged. No new developements have taken place in the Boston Marshall shooting affair since Satur day. The rioters have telegraphed on for a re inlorcement of the "Friends of Freedom," midnight assassination) to proceed to Boston today, when it is feared a renewal of the bloody scenes already recorded may take p'ace. The following parties have been committed on a charge ot muider in causing the death of the Deputy U.

S. Marshal A. J. Brown John J. Roberts, colored Walter Plicenix, colored John Westerly, colored "Walter Bishop, colored Thomas Jackson, colored Henry Howe, Martin Stowell, and John Thompson.

Some of them are quite young, others are old, some of them being gray headed. If any one is to suffer for the crime it ought to be the traitors who counselled murder and violence. The leaders of the mob there and elsewhere ought to be placed on board a mud scow and sent adrift down the Narrows with not more than three days' provisions on' board. The sooner they went to the bottom after that the better. The First Russian Ambassador to Turkey.

The first Russian Ambassador was sent by John III. to Constantinople, in 1495, during the reign of Bajezet son ot Mahomet conquorer of that city. The envoy, whose name was Michael Plesttschiep, had een instructed to negotiate a treaty of commerce with the Turkish govern ment, but on no account to kneel, or to compli nient Bajazet in auy way whatever. He so far exceeded his instructions as to behave in the rudfst and most insultiug manner, in the pre sence of the Sultan and his ministers. Bajezet sent him away, and made no direct reply to the messages of the Czar.

He wrote, however, the following letter to Mexgli, Kban of Crimea, ally of Jon.v, in which he expreeted his just resent ment The Monarch of Russia, with whom I would desire to contract a friendly alliance, ha sent me as Ambassador a coarse fellow. I can not permit any of my subjects to accompany him back, least they should be insulted. I am res pected in the st and West, and should bluBh to submit to such un outrage." Cuii.o Burned to Death. John Burk, a child two yeais of age, was burned to death on Tuesday, in a house in Bedford street, above Sixth. Tne mother left the child in the room she occupied in tbe second story, and returning on hearing bis screams, lound him enveloped in flames.

Another inmate of tbe bouse threw a bucket ol water on th; unfortunate child, but he was so much burned that death ensued in a few minutes. I J2tilnrf0Tirijn T.edtrev layers of gravel, The contractor took the precaution to curb the sides with strong timbers and plane as they proceeded. When they reached the depth of 30 feet, the sand and fine gravel came in upon them and buried them np to their hips. The. plank and timbers above partly gave way and formed a sort of net work over them, reaching the surface of the ground ahove, making in fact a cone Bhaped, irregnlar timber protection over them, so that the masses of earth were kept from crushing the poor fel lows who were locked in to their middle, at the base of the cone.

Alarm was immediately given and it was found that the men were alive. This they discovered through a Bmall opening at the top, and through which communication by word could with difficulty be carried on, as well as through which bottles of soup and drink conld be lowered to the sufferers. The nublic authorities, civil and military, were immediately on the spot in consultation, to see if anything, and what could be dona for the noor imprisoned workmen below. The men could only iniorm them of their awful situation, and could make no suggestions for their relief save that the greatest caution must oe oDservea ia what was done, for the least jar or movement (anted the sand to come in upon them, ana threaten them with instant death. The authori ties engineers made various suggestions.

hnt it was found impossible to attempt anything that did not involve insuperable difficulties. They at least sank another well a few yards from they first one, intending, wheu they reached the same depth, to run a lateral trench to the sufferers. But with all their precautions this also caied in; when tbev reached the uamedepta idu leet.) xney then proposed and adopted the planof sinking several shafts, commencing a considerable distance 7 1 .1 LI' from tne well ana run i ooimueiy uowu, converging so as to meet ui and below where the men were. Several of these shafts were sunk, so that if one failed, another might suc ceed, and no time be lost. As they progressed with these shafts they guarded their walls by immense iron tubes or sheatha, Tne deeper they descended the more difficulties they en countered, and one of ihe most formidable was the fiudiuir of large boulders or stones in their track theBe they could not break for tear of tbe jar on the surrounding earth, as the; ap uroached the sufferers, and in removing them entire, large masses of dirt would fall to impede their nroaress.

The consequence was that the progress was slow aud teUious, and this aug mented as they descended, and so much eo that when tbev came within a lew yaras ol tne men, it was louad necessary to abandon shovels and picks and only use knives and hands the least jar was felt by the sufferers, even when separated by several feet of solid earthy As I said above, the plan was to go below them, and then excavate obliquely, and then gradually draw off from the sand that bound them and draw the poor fellows down through the opening. The difficulties were so many, that the work progressed very slowly and the excitement and anxiety of the I'nends and community, was intense. In the mean time, the military and other authorities were on duty and the approaches to the place were strictly guarded, to keep off the anxious and curious crowd. Of course, the almost hopeless operations for tuo of tho Ttipn. pverythiug was dono to keep them alive, and make them as comfortable aB circumatauces would permit.

Soups, in Bmall quantities, wine, water, was lowered down through the small aperture in bottles and cups also some articles ot clothing tied up in small compass, as also a lamp And a bell. Sentinels were on duty everywhere, and one placed at the mouth of tbe well, and often charged to listen and make any communication. Provisions were let down in small quantities often, and they were not allowed to sleep but an hour at a time. On the fifth day the oldest of the men became greatly excited and madened, and breathed his last in dreadlul agony. His fellow aud, aged 24, though physically and mentally, kept up good spirits, and replied very cheerlully to questions put to him.

Every encouragement was given niin by Marshal Cartel lane, tue commandant of this department, and others who were allowed to converse with him Nothing was left undone that could be suggested and prayers and masses were said for him in all tbe churches. The feelings ot the community were intensely excited from day to day, and as the time was prolonged, it was considered a for loruuope, and everybody despaired, though exertions were unremitted. On one occasion the man on guard forgot himself, and let Geraud sleep too long, and when he was awakened, he toand that in nis nervous excitement during sleep he had made some motion and found the sand had come down and buried both his arms to his elbows, and added some six inches to the mass above bis hips. In his deep, dark prison, day after day, and night after night, he continued a quiet and resigned, and even a cheerful and bopelul disposition, iiis aged, widowed mother constantly watching aud catching at every feeble ray ol nope lor lier imprisoned eon, wnom sne could not see, but with whom she was allowed occasionally to converse lor a moment, was a picture to agonize the stoutest heart. Alter tbe death of bis companion, from his putrid body aud other causes, the air became so bad and so unbearable that resort was had to forcing Iresh.

air down to him through tubes, and so thoroughly was the ground around him impregnated with tbe ill'nvia, that tbe workmen in the lateral shatts lound it difficult to breath before they reached within several feet of him I Not to worry you longer with the details of this distressing case, I will merely observe that, on the 21sl day at .8 o'clock in the evening, they reached the poor sufferer and relieved him through one of tbe lateral shafts. Nolbones were broken, and, though bruised and sore, and almost worn oat with his sufferings, strong hopes are entertaiued that he may recover, although his constitution is shattered and broken. When first taken out lie was enveloped in the warm skins of lambs that were provided for the occasion. I may add that the proprietor of the grounds has deeply felt, tbis sad misfortune, and has been made sick by it for several days past. He has made the poor fellow a present ol 5,000 francs and the Empress 1ms sent bim a draft for 10,000.

God bless her. I think this one of tbe most miracu lous escapes on record. We have nothing especially of interest here except what you Bte in the public prints. Prince Napoleon passed through here the other day, en route lor Turkey. His nception at the Pretec turu wa9 a slpendid ailair.

AU the public func tionaries and officials were there. When J. was presented to him, he entered iuto conversation about matters and things in general and Ameri cans in particular. He is about 35, large, dark hair aud eyes, and a lac simile of the likeness ot the great Napoleon you see. He resembleB him more than any member of the family that I have seen.

Tbe months of March and April have been delightful much like youi May and June and the prospects for the farmers are good. The Government has made itself quite popu lar in this war matter. Napoleon, after all, is tbe best man to govern France. He understands the French character, and the masses are generally all Bed, I think. Business is quite dull here.

Thirty thousand silk looms have stopped work, and ibis throws out of empoly persons: and yet all is quiet, This shows the government to be strong lor under a Bourbon this could not have existed without an attempt at revolution. But, thank.
