naturally conclude that the Prince and Princess
being the bouts of our Arobnssnnor, his Excel

It was, however, in one of those dirty, roueh
gouig vehicles that the dauebter ot our Queen
was nrlven through the city of Louis XIV, first
to 1 artake of a meagre luncheon at the Hotel
des Reservoirs, and then to the palace ot tbe
Grand Roi. The Princess, when she lounst her
self seated in this cab. must have telt inclined
to exclaim with the Doge of Venice, when he
visited the palace in tbe time of Louis XIV:
"Ce qui tn'etonne les plus e'est de m'j voir." I
do the justice to the Prc'ect to assm that a tele
pram despatched on tbe pariy leaving Paris
would have secured the presence of a more

J'nris July 19) Correspondence of the London 8tar.
Tbe approachme marriaire of the Princess
Dap ui ar to the heir apparent of all the Russias is
much talked ot in Puris salons. An eye-witness
relates tbe lollowing details of the parting scene
between her and the late Cesarewitch. The
young Princess had been summoned at his
express wieb, and arrived, acooinpauid by the
Queen, her mother, and tne Prince Royal of
Denmark. She was dressed in white, and as
7she arrived at the station excited tbe deepest
I sjmpathy from the immense crowd who awaited
I her arrival, anxious to catch a glimpse of her
I features: but this was impossible, as she hur
ried away rapidly to the Villa Uerber. She was
at once led to the dying Cesarewitch, aud she
knelt by his 6ide, sobbing bitterly. He had
been senseless; but in the white kneeling
figure he suddenly reco'lected his fiancee, drew
ber towards him, and, murmuring soino words,
inaudible save to tier, kissed her forehead. '
Then, as one might read of in a novel, he took
the Princess' hand, aud, without again speaking,
placed it in that of his brother Alexander, which
1 act on was at once interpreted by the family as
signifying his wish that his brother should
bestow on her the throne his own death would
deprive her of. From that moment Princess
Duginar did not quit the death chamber till the
Grand Duke had breathed Lis last. Hue closed
bis eyes and iinpriuicd a parting kiss on his
forehead, and thenceforth the imperial family
cousidrred her r,s one of themselves. Her slay
at Nice lasted but lorty-cisht hours. The present
Cesarewitch is in character a complete contrast
to his charming and deplored brother. Impe
rious and doiutneer'ng, he is by no means
popular, and has inherited not a little of the
temperament of tbe family,
Tbe Scandal about lneen Tlctorta.
Concerning this scandal, which has been in
dustriously furthered by Puuvh, the Louoon cor
respondent of tbe Boston Adoi-rtiser says:
"The sole pretext for this ruilianly atlack is
the tact that the Queen has a favorite servant,
and ureters his services to those of the others.
As from her peculiar position the Queen is opea
to aty insinuations of this kind that the mali
cious choose to fling out, and can make no reply,
periodicals like 1'unch w hich exist bnt to flatter
the coxcombries of the Guards an lot the silly
fops about town have the satisfaction of pro
ducing some sort of sensation by this sort of
ribaluy; but in people of taste and character
oily intense disgust is inspired. I have tracked
the scundai as far as I cau, seeking the authority
ot it those w bo are the most active in pur
veying if, and I find t'uut it rests upon incidents
ol the commonest occurrence. It is pure slander,
though it gives deep pa.u to the object of it,
and adds to the distress of one who, in her soli
tary gieotness. should possess the sympathies of
generous men.

Curiosities of the Marriage Service.
A clergyman hi Hampshire, England, writes:
you had married as many couples as I have
you would be aware that it is not only when
German princes appear at'the hymeneal altar in
England, that novelties in pronunciation oc
cur, and foreign matter is introduced in the
marriage service. In my parish it is quite the
fashion for the man in giving the ring say to tho
woman, "With my body I thee wash up, and
with all my hurdle goods I thee and thou." To
which strunge trio he pertinaciously adheres,
In spite of all my endeavors to correct the text.
One man who could not read, but had taken
praiseworthy pains to learn bis part beforehand,
had perfectly mastered what he was taught,
onlv unluckily his "coach" had blundered upou
the baptismal instead of the matrimonial service,
so when interroeated as to taking the woman to
be his wedded wite, the bridegroom stoutly
affirmed, "All this I steadfastly believe." The
women are usually better up in this part of the
Prayer Book than the men; but one day a bride
itaueht in a Government school, startled me
by making the extraordinary vow to take her
husband "to 'ave and to 'old from, this day
forin't for betterer horse for rl ihercr power in
slgtrernes else love cnerries and to bHy." What
meaning this marvellous farrago conveyed to
her mind it is beyond the power of mine to
imagine.

yesterday at La Prairie, about ten miles from
this city, on the opposite shore of the St. Law

Melln put himself in communication with
Chief of Police Renton, who detailed two of bis

to work tbe case up. A day or two aeo a vague
rumor reached them thatLnmirande was lurking
about the vicinity of Montreal. On bein taken

who bad been employed for the prosecution in
New York.
His examination before a magistrate has just
closed, and he has been remanded to the I ail.
He is claimed from the 8' ate under the French

AKlltST AND IMPRISONMENT OF THE HUlt
D1BER8, KTO.
Yesterday morning, about 3 o'clock, a party
of soldiers lrom Fort Bobuyler. conmstiLtr ot
Sergeant John Doran. Corporal Thomas Fitz
eerald, and privates Michael J. Canty, Michael
Martis, and Charles and Jobn C. Burke, bro
thers, broke Into the house of Alexander Elliott,
in the town ot Westchester, westcne.-ter couutv.
Hnd Thomas Fitzgerald deliberately shot a young
woman named Ellen Hicks through the body.
She lived until about six o'clock, unconscious
mobt ol the time. The young lady was
standing in the door of her own house in com
pany with her sister, having been alarmed by
the soldier bteaking into their bouse, as well as
tne house ol their aunt who lived in the next
bouse. She was shot through the body with a
lieiivv musket ball, the ball entering in front
and passing out her back. She immediately fell
to the noor, putting ner Bister oown wun nor.
Muskets weie placed at the breasts of others
of the laniily, and threats were made to shoot
them, but the thtenta were not carried into exe
cution. The soldiers then left for home.
At about 11 o'clock in the evening there had
been a uitlicultv with Mr. Alexander Elliott at a
tavern near bv, which, though threatening vio
lence, resulted only in words, and Elliot left for
home. He was pursued by tbe party, attacked,
and hiB left arm broken with a bur ot iron in
the hands o! one of his assailants. They ha t no
guns with them at this time. They left him
lying In the road and went to the fort. Elliott
managed to get borne.
ADout 1 o'ciock iney returned to nis nouse
and demanded admittance, threatening to kill
him. He escaped from the house, lumping from
an upper window, lie suaicnea a gun irora tne
bands ot one of the soldiers standing in front ot
hm house, and ran for his life: two of tbe
soldiers ehaied him d wn the road and across
some fields towards the Westchester creek; El
liott, outrunning them, waded into the creek
and swam across, when he aroused some of tbe
noonle livin-i there, and messeueers were imme
diately sent to the Tremont Station of mounted
police and to the iiarietn station nouse.
About 9 o'clock yesterday moruing they were
all ai rested, except Fitzpatrick, aud he was
arrested about 11 o'clock, and they were all
locked up until ihe arrival of the Coroner, who
had been sent for. The Coroner arrived about
3 o'clock in Ihe afternoon, and empanelled a
iury. Tbe testimony taken showed that Fitz
gerald deliberately sbot Miss Hicks, and that
the other men were accessories to tbe killing,
and tbe iury, after a deliberation of about
tiliecn minutes, returned a verdict to that etTect.
The Coroner then committed them for the
aetion of the grand iury of Westchester county.
Fitzgerald, on being asked by the Coroner
(Oliver, ot Morrisaula) it he had onythlug to
say, said that If he shot tho la-ly he did so with
no' intent to kill or shoot, her; he bred without
any deliberate aim. Tup rest denied any com

Tbe Fish Exhibition In France. .
A correDondent of the Pall Mall OateUe writes
oi the exhibition ot fishes at Arcachon, France:
"Fiance numbers 193 exhibitors in products,
and 241 in instruments. Of forewn exhibitors,
tbe French colonies reckon 23; Belgium, 2b;
Holland, 24; Great Britain, 23; Austria, 2; Han
over, 1; Sweden and Norway, 10; Turkey, 1;
Soain, 12; Denmark, 1; the Grand Duchy of
nesse, 2; Hesse.Ctt.sel, 1; the United Scates, 1;
China, 1; one exhibitor lrequently contributing
a great variety of articles.
"The 6chemc ot the arrangement has been to
cliu-s the objects under three heads, viz.: Pro
ducts, Instruments, and Writings. Products
and instruments are divided into such classes as
those of tresh and those of salt water; and
these again are divided according as the bsh
are taken by ordinary fishery or are reared and
cultivated artiflciully. Beuind the Exposition
is along rau'e of aquaria, well supplied with
salt water, and stocked with a considerable
vuiietv of flsb, shell-fish, sea anemones, and
many beautiful and curious obtocts. Belilud
these again is a range of tanks built of brick
work and cement. These are of various depths,
un'f are for tho illustration of the different
kinds ot salt water culture which are so largely
prosecuted in France, but at present only one
t ink is occupied. It contains specimens o.'
ovsreis ot various ages, from the Basin
d'Arcuchon principally, and from Rochelle.
Uniortunatelv the weathpr at the ore-sent time
is so oppressively hot in the south of France
tnai tne transmuting uuu orpine nuvc oi
SDcclmens is not a very easy matter; and it is to
be feared that this part of the plan will hardly
be developed U the extent that was originally
intended. The oysters displayed are many of
them ou the tiles taken from the imperial Pare
of Lahillon. which are quite a marvel to behold.
belug so thickly packed with oysters all over
that, tbe tiles are not visible; two or three hun
dred oysters of from one to two years old are
fixed upon one tile of about sixteen or seventeen
inches long, and seven or eight wide. And these
are not mere specimen uiea, dv any means,

water was three leet over them."

Washington, August 2. Leading citizens
I. cm New Orleans, arrived hero to-day, state the
i ndition ot all airs there is very much worse
than represented. Dr. Hare, mentioned killed,
is Dr. William H. Hare, an Englishman by
birth, a resident of Mew Oilcans tor tho past
thirty-five years, always a leading Union man.
Alfred Shaw, ex-Sberitf ot the Parish of Orleans,
Dr. Hare, and the Hon. 8. 8. Fish reported
dead, are all active members ot Orient Lodge of
Masons.
I have met a eentlpman who on Sunday held
a consultation with most of the men killed and
wounded, and they all agreed that there was no
violrnce to be feared, believing that they would
be arrested, and then tbe question as to their
right to hold the Convention would be tested by
law. The only man of the Convention who
anticipated trouble was Dr. Dostie, Killed, lie
did not look lor such lawless action by the
Mayor. No preparation was made for this sort
ot a demonstration by the conveniioners. Had
there b-en, the results would not have been so
one sided.
At the meeting to be held on the 12th of
August to send delegates to the September Loyal
ist Convention, a repetitu-n of the lute scene
are anticipated. Attorney-General Herron, now
in charge of the State, says th re shall be no
such meeting, and Mayor Monroe is swearing in
all the thugs as a special force tor police duty
on that day.
The 1700 original free colored people propose
to co-operate with the Unionists in thjir coining
meeting, bnt desire to send no colored delegates.
There is no reuon tor doubting tout, sbould
Mayor Monroe inaugurate another riot, the ball
will roll into every district South.
Tbe excitement between the loyal whites,
colored citizens, and Rebels through the Sauth
is intense. President Johnson is held responsi
ble for this state of affairs from his Indulgence
ot leading Rebels. His instructions to Mayor
Monroe, his taking the Government of Louisiana
out of tbe hands of the proper officials and be
stowing it upon the Attorney -General, have con
spired to shake the latth ot' Unionists South iu
hts loyalty. There is in New Orlcuns but a bat
talion ot colored troops and a couipinv of the
1st Regulars, with not a single held p ece. No
intormation ot the riot ia to be obtaiued at the
White House, the War Dt-partment, or army
headquarters. The reticence in this quarter is
taken as ominous. There is worse news than
that already made public. JT. Y. lribune.
Letter from General &. P. Banks.
General Banks has written the following
lettet relative to the cause of the New Orleans
riot:
Washington. D. C. August 1. To the editor
of the Actional Republican. Sir: A communi
cation published in your journal this morning,
sitmed "William H. C. King," gives an iucorrect
representation of tho condition of atl'ahs and
tho u.e. of the recent massacre in New
Orleans. Its intemperate tone discloses and
deieats its purpose. Nevertheless, knoving
tbe history to which it relers, I deem it my
duty to say that in my opiuion it is unjust to
the loysi men of Louisiana, and unworthy of
credit. The convention wus the ostensible, and
not tbe latent cause ot the outbreak, it was a
peaceful andawlul assembly. One word from
the recognized authorities oi the United States
in New Orleans would have secured its adjourn
ment.
There were other causes of offense than the
convocation of this assembly. Its members
were, and had been, firm supporters ot the
Government, and decided opponents of its
enemies. They were, therefore, marked men.
Tbe wounds intlictfd upon the body of Dr.
Dostie will show, by tueir number aud result,
the intent and assurance ot his murderers. I
knew him well. No country ever gave birth to
a more unseltish man, a truer patriot, or a more
devoted friend ot libeity. He and his associates
were dangerous men to the enemies of thU
country. The unseen hand that smote him was
that which applied the torch to the citv of New
York, and by which Liucoln tell. His death will
be avenged; and in tuis, as in all trials ot good
men, tbe blood of the martyrs will be the suste
nance of the church.
I am, sir, respectfully yours, etc.,
N. P. Banks.
Despatch from General Sheridan.
In order that the following from General
Sheridan be fuUy understood, it should be stated
that he was absent from New Orleans when the
disturbances commenced in that, city:
New Orleans, 130 P. M., August 1, 1806. To
Gtneral U. B. Grant, Wushingtou, D. C.r You
are doubtless aware ot tbe seiious riot which
occurred in this city on the 3uth. A political
body, bt ling itself ihe Convention ot 18U4, met
there ou tbe 30th, lor, as it is alleged, the pur
pose ot remodeli ng the present Constitution of
the 8tafe. The leaders were pollMcal agitators
and revolutionary men, and the action "of the
Convention was liable to produce breaches of
tbe public peace.
I bad made up my mind to arrest the head
men if the proceedings of the Convention were
calculated to disturb the tranquillity of the de
partment; but I had no cause lor action until
they comn itted the overt act. About lorty
whites and blacks were killed, and about one
hundred and sixty wounded.
ICverythlng is now quiet, but I deem it best to
maintain a military supremacy in the city lor a
few days, until the affair is fully investigated.
I believe the sentiment of tbe general commu
nity is greatly scandalized tt this unnecessary
cruelty, and that the police could have made any
arrests they saw fit without sacrificing lives.

These are the very lowest estlmutcs that any
well-posted politician will make. The probabili
ties are that the actual Republican majorities
will far exceed those. Thurlow Weed will dis
cover that his "conservative elements of both
p i ties" consist of nothing but Cooo?rheads,
und a handful of veual wretches like himself,
who have been a curse to tba Republican party
ever since they .joined it; and that after thev
have deserted to the enemy's camp, there will
regain two million five hundred thousaud un
purchasable, "uuterriued" voters, who will
sweep the Copper Johnson crew like chaff before
the wind.
Tbe following answer is recorded ot tbe
Empress Eugenie to a Marshal who expressed to
her his admiration for tbe courage she had dis
played during her visit to tbe cholera patients
at Amiens: "Uotisieur, e'est notrt ma mere

Washington, August 2. Governor Murphy, of

inc tbe call ot the Union Convention, dated July
'zo, states that there is not a paper in LitUc
Hock that will publish the call, and but one iu
tne whole state iu tne interest of loyal men. Ar.
our election in August tbe Rebel elemeut will
have full control, excepting, perhaps, in a few
northwestern counties The feeling tiwards
Congress is more hostile than during tne war,
and hatred ot tbe Union soldiers and Union
men is a matter ot ambitious pride. Tne indus
trious classes are being a little disaffected towards
their late leauers. Their tone is sn venemous and
disloval that they begin to lear their success
will bring to tbe future the scenes of the past.
We just hear of the ratification of the Constitu
tional atuenament by the Tennessee Legislature,
and hail it as an omen that the measure wl.l
become a law. I would have called a session
of the Arkansas Legislature had it been possible
to have procured a quorum, but from deaths,
resignations, and removals to other States, it
could not have been had. 1 regret this much,
as the Legislature to be elected will be chosen
from Rebels who have done good service in the
war. Everything I can do to unite the Union
sentiment of the South will be done. A Y.
Tribune.
Railroad Signals. The varieties of the
"toot" ol the locomotive, aud the gyrations ot
the ams of conductors bv day, or lanterns by
night, are about as intelligible to most people
as tirst-class Choctaw. Their signidcation is as
lollows:
One Whistle "Down brakes."
Two Whistles "Off brake."
Three Whistles "Back up."
Continuous Whistles "Danger."
A ranld succession of short whistles is the
cattle alarm, at which tbe brakes will always
be put down.
A sweeping parting of hands on level of eye is
a signal to "go ahead."
A downward motion of the hand, with ex
tended arms, "to stop."
A beckoning motion of one hand, to "back."
A lantern raised and lowered vertically is a
signal for "starting;" swung at right angles or
cro'sways the track, "to stop;" swuag in a
circle, "back the train."
A red flag waved upon the track must bo
retarded as a signal of danger. Bo ot other
sieuals given with energy.
Hoisted at a station, Is a signal for a train to
stop.
irtuck up by the roadside, it Is a signal of
danger on the track ahead.
Carried unfurled upon an engine, is a warning
thai another eng ine or train is ou its way.

Quotations of Gold 10J A. M., 148J; l A. M.,
1471; 12 M., 14S; 1 P. M., 147 J.
The New York Tribune this morning says:
"Money is relused by some houses at 3 per
cent, from banks, and 4 per ctnt. loins are
being paid off. For call loans the quotation is
3(fr"5 per cent. In commercial paper little
doing. Best names aie scarce, and can be used
at low rates. The abundance of money among,
stock houses is stimulating speculation rapidly,
and before August close prices promise to show
a great improvement, Tbe b iyers thus far are
mainly young and not over-strong houses, and
they have full control of the nisrket. Most of
tbe old brokers are disposed to be cautious, and
prefer to see August well advanced before load
ing themselves wltb stocks."

drug store, she dissolved it in her sister's wash
piteber. The young lady performed her morn
ing ablutions, and was horn tied in the course of
the morning to find tbat her hands had turned
as brown as thoe ot a mulatto. A look at the

was the same color. It will be some ti ne before

she will not do so again.

derous weapon; and tbe little cockade which
now serves as a substitute for a bonnet was
trimmed with alguillcttes of the needle-gun
pattern.
