The story of the iirst and second empire 1b, as It were, opitomied In the single fact that tbe , ; narriae-e of a gnwiddanghterof Joachim Murat .. Phoultl be an event of European importance. 80 long as tbe lame of the Napoleons endures the natue o' the M units must live also. Of all the 1 generaN who foueht and conquered, and ruled under the reign oi the great Emperor, none ever hnpresccd hia memory sostronely on the popular mind as the beau sdltreur. Key and Massenn, tfoult and Moreau, bad little personal claim to a ,.' piaco iu history cave that which thpy derived from the rellected lustre of their master's fame. '"' But Murfit, like Ucrnadottc, made his own murk I; , upon the world. And. until the world grors so 1 Ktwptlmt strange vicissitudes ot fortune load their .'' Interest lor succeeding generations, men will not forget the story ot the son of tbe French V- tavern keeper, the deppndent of tbe bouse ot' Talleyrand, the chorister, at the College of .Lahore, who threw uway the frock for a sol dier's unilorm, and loug'lit his way to a crown- ' by his own dnuntless courage and reckless - Marina;. The man who, in the judgment ot Napoleon, was tho octd cavalry ollicer in '' ' the world" who was Kiti of tbe two Sicilit'3 who, deserting tho founder of his fortunes, came bacx to his old allegiance hen the star of tho - Hons partes rose once more after tho return from Klba and who died on the Calabrian const, I. -whiiher ho had gone to tecovor a lost kinerdoin, shot there like 11 dog by a Neapolitan court- martial wits onehose career will be forever memorable. Throuehout the long years of . Bourbon tyranny the name ot Murnt wa 1 cherinlied by the people over whom he had once rnkd; and even now, in those southern provinces Of the great Italian kinuiiom, there is etiil a party leu which dranis loudly of the day when ' the Murats shall have their pwn again, The lady whose marriage every newspaper in the - tfid world and tne isew will cnronicie may wen be proud ol her descent lroni King Joachim of ' Naples, and the youngest sister of the great Napoleon. . But the fortunes of the rnce to which sac ,be : longs are associated no lo.s with the second empire. During the three and thirty years ..which passed between the d.iy when the. sua of '' the Napoleons' seemed to 6ink forever upon the i field of Waterloo, and that o:her day when the nephew of the captive of St. Helena was pro ' claimed l'rcsident of tbe French Republic, the . 3d units well nigh disappetired from the world's notice. The e.-Quoen lived and died as -the ' Countess LiDoun. in that kindly Tuscan capital which, alone amidst the courts of the continent, -extended to the surviving members of the Bona parte race something of a timid welcome.' The children ot King Joachim were scattered about the world. The eldest son, once Prince Koyal of Naples and heir apparent to the throne of the - Two Bicilies, passed across the Atlantic, married ,. there a grand niece ol the founder and first Presi- dent of the American republic, and died a 8outh; cm planter in the State of Florida. The sisters beean;e the wives of small Italian nobles. The second and youngest son, following his brother to the New Worldj settled down for many years ""' aefa quiet American citizen. '" Few among the emigrants In that vast hive of seething Industry teemed to have a less brilliant fnt ure than that of the quasi royal 'exile.- Po- ' " verty and he so gossip says became intimately acquainted, and tor a time this branch ot the Murals owed its means of livelihood to a school 'for little girls, kept by the present Princess, aa English lady, whom the Prince had married in the days when Louis Philippe was called to the throne of France, and the prospects ot the Bona parte seemed at their lowest ebb. Then, when the Prince had reached an age at Which most men begin to think that fortune has little more' in store tor them, the Orleans dynasty fell, Napo leon III restored the empire, and the last of the r. M11 rats returned to Paris to become a Senator and noble of France, the trusted friend and favor ite of his cousin, chief among the grandees of tho eeond empire. .', The Princess Anna herself has thusirrown up during the prosperity of the race to which she belongs, and it is understood that the Emperor has always taken especial interest in the subject of her marriage. Suitors without number have been talked of as candidates for the hand of this daughter ot the empire, and the choice of a hus band, is said to have been the theme of frequent deliberation in the imperial councils. Whatever may be the personal merits of the fortunate nobleman who has been selected to receive the hand of th youthful bride, there can ,be no donbt that his position must have been a power ful recommendation in the eyes of a sovereign anxious bv every means to consolidate his dynasty. The Due de Slouch y, belonging as he 1 . does to one of tbe oldest of French families, represents the legitimist party. Hitherto tne Faubourg St. Germain has refused to recotrnize the empire, very much as it refused to acknow ledge the Government of Italy. The historic names of "France , were not to be found in the 1 Tisiting lists of the Imperial Court. Between ' the partisans ot the new order of things and the devoteea of the anoien regime there was a gulf across which it was well high impossible to pass. The nobles might appear at court on state occasions, but the salons of the noblesfte were closed to the courtiers of the Tuilerie6. Whether for good or evil, however, the French aristocracy are no longer a power in France, and their favor or dlst'uvor can neither make nor mar a dynasty. Yet, socially, they represent a force; aud Napoleon III ia too wise a ruler to ignore the importance of social in fluences, ilis own throne he has probably now established firmly enough; but he may well wish to secure for his son the active sympathy, as well as the sullen acquiescence of every party in tho country. Moreover, in some portions of France the old legitimist section is not without power; and the enterprise of winning it over to the empire Is by no means so hopeless as it might at first appear. With the death of the Due de Bordeaux, a sickly aud childless man, now advancing in years, there will perish the last direct male descendant of the elder branch of the French Bourbons, and it is by no means certain that the partisans of legitimacy, will transfer their alle giance to the Orleans fumily, whom they dislike far more than they do the Napoleoiu. Accord ing to the orthodox theory, the descendants of Ixniis Philllnpe are excluded from the succession by their father's disloyalty to the lawful sove reiiro, and the throne of France becomes vacant if Henry V. dies withouf son or heir. These cal culations, however, are too remote to exercise much influence on so practical a mind as that of the French Emperor. Probably ho values the ndhesion given to his dynasty in the marriage ot his cousin to one of' the first among ttie old nobles of France, chietly as an acknowledgment that, even in the Hue de (Jreuelle St. Germain, the empire is now recognized as an accomplished fact.

At tbe same time thu arms or the Government have just obtained another triumph in the neighborhood ot Gunyn bin OvX a taction which wes its existence to General Moncion. fhn Govemorof the province of Bnfitiago, 1n -which capacity he favored the claadestine landing of the Hiiytlen leader Sal n.inel and mnfle- common cause with him, in tending an aggression on the neiBhbcring rrpub-:- lie tJlHvtlJ without naving any suuuiut w uu so. So'shiinter as well bs dangerous a plot was denounced in time by the well-disposed inhabi tants of tho parts, who, indignant at so erest a treason and the scandalous manner in, which the lawsref neutrality were being infringed, re fused their support to the movement, in which only a lew adventurers took part. This latttr event occurred before General Bae7. look charg of the Government, while the .Hrst-mentioiwl took place as well a few hours before the oath of office wis siibMTibcil to; but the late Govern ment, tin receiving intofmatloh of thOFC occur rence?., cointnii-su ned General Garcia;.to re store order immediately, and fer'that purpose to rorrmunieHtc with Generals La Concha, and l overa. The General's proclaniaiion revealed the activity which In; brought to the work, and since, in tXo.se criiior.1 moments, the advent of a new udmliiiMration occurred, no time was lost in mak ing such deposition as should result in the speedy dissolution of a plot, which was on the point of compromising the Republic; but just then the movement at Porto Plata took pjnee, and this new complication prrarpd a sad stiitc'of tiling T. hich it was necessary to combat ct all hn::ards in crrfcr to save tho social and other interests of C'ibao, w hich were in immi nent dnnpcrj Events have 'corresponded with fhe wthes Mid conduct, of the authorities and -people of those provinces.

A private letter from Mr. lu Chailln. received ,by the lat mail .lrom Loudon, communicates some interesting pnrticulars ot his last exploring journey.T We have before noted that it was Mr. Pu Chiallu s purpo.-e to cross tae continent ot Atrlca from the U'cst Coast, and that he had been attacked and robbed by tae natives. He writes: "I have been in new countries, and penetrated much further into the heart of Africa than before. I met eight. - new . tribes, , hitherto unknown, iimonght them a dwarf people who call themselves Obongons; and who are gypsies in their habits. My prospects'for getting across tho continent were most promising up to the moment ot the unlucky accident which ruined all and nearly-caused the destruction of my file and my whoie party. "A gun in the hands 6Xone of my men was accidentally, uischanrcd. and. the .ball killed two natives. The people amongst whom we were at once look it iuto their heads that we had come to kill them, immediately attacked us, and we were forced to retreat und fight our way back, part ortlie time under terrible difficulties. I was wounded twice with poisoned arrows, but escaped with life and limb, and am now well." He adds that he saved his journal and astro nomical observations,, but lost other scientific notes and his collections of photographs, etc. He hasTecerved mueh kindn3S9 in England since his return, and is to give an account of his ex plorations and adventures before the Rovul Geo graphical Society. , 1 " 1 11 '- ' . i.i Photographic Items. ', ' NKW DISCOVERIES AND INVENTIONS. , A warm discussion is in progress in. the Lon don Photographic Nevs concerning 'a 'method lor obtain'fng stereoscopic effocu hy a single photograph The inventor, Mr. Pettitt, of Bu. mitigham, proposes to take a double negative in the way in which ordinary stereoscopic, nega tives, are obtained.. These two pictures are then superposed 'by causing . "light to .toe passed through them in a dark room, or camera obscura, and receiving the rays so passing through the pictures by a pair of lenses placed at the same distance lrom tuem as tne pictures were when taken. The two pictures now become enlarged, coalesce, and are superimposed upon each other." Such pictures, for whichtho name "binograph" has been suggested, are stated by the inventor to be in better perspective, and to have the appearance of roundness and solidity not to be obtained with a single lens in the ordinary way. An acquaintance with the rudiments of optics would have shown tho fallacy ot such reasoning. The rival parties, however, agreed to refer tha matter to Professor Wheatstone, who, of oourse, Mates that the only possible result ot such a pro cess must bq a picture with a blurred and indis tinct ontline, but possessing no greater apparent relief than an ordinary photograph. Of photo-relief engraving, the London Reader says that a Mr. Woodbury recently read a paper before the London Photoeraphic Society, in ex planation of a process of his own invention tor photo-relief engraving. The first step is the exposure in a solar camera of the negative which is taken in the ordinary manner in con tact with a lilni ot bichromatized gelatine sup ported on a plate r.f talc. By this operation, it is claimed, the parte acted upon bv the light are rendered insoluble, a stream of hot water re moves all the soluble portion of the film, leaving a faithful transcript of the negative in relief. A cliche of the gelatine film- is then taken in soft type metal, by means of a hydraulic press. This vliohe forms the piinting surface. The ink is a solution ol gelatine colored with any suuahla coloring matter. It Is poured hot upon the sur face of the plate, upon which a piece of paper is then placed. A gentle pressure is annlied. and .maintained sutlicicutly long to permit the gela- uuo 10 Bi-i. me ui-uiuuo uuu miueres 10 me paper and forms the picture. It, will thus be seen that the sbade3 of the picture are produced by the vmying thic kness of the gelatine that the picture is, in tact, a cast of the metal cliche, but so thlr. that when the print is dry, it is im possible to tee or even to feel that it is in relief. By uriug au ''ink'' of the ordinary photographic tone, it is a mutter of tho greatest difficulty to distinguish Mr. Woodbury's pictures from the ordinary photographic priust. , One of the learned societies is only waiting for tho comple tion of Mr. Woodbury's experiments to decide upon ill iit t rating the next volume of its trans actions by this new process.
