The death of Berryer leaves' vacant Fau teuil- -No. - 39 - of- the .A.cadeinie Francaise. :Among others who have had this seat wil be remembered the agreeable Duke of Ni verndis, celebrated for his gormandizing, his fables, and his goodheartedness; Legouve, father of the present Aeademicien; the. Count of Saint-Priest,historian of merit, Berryer's im snediate predecessor; and also the philosopher Ballanche, so ingenious but so flighty, of whom they tell an .odd anecdote. He was one of the faithful followers of Mme. Recamier when the latter was old and blind. = He was very poor, and used to come every evening in shoes the blacking on which became digagreeable to the olfactory nerve of Mine. Recamler. She could not help one day saying so to the poor philosopher, who, before entering the salon, would thereafter leave his shoes at the door. George - Sand, the other day, coming from Thomery, called a cab, the driver of which several times excited her displeasure. Out of patience, the celebrated authoress censured her conductor in these terms: "When a man has no more intelligence -than - that-he - does liot follow driving. The man replied: "It is true that if nature tiad not been so mean, I should never have been sitting on this box. I should have been making novels." George Sand had nothing to say. ,ef?, December 2, two libres-professeurs of the clinic, Protessor F., author of an -important work on dissection, and Professor -, fought a duel at Satory. The first wounded Ilia adversary in the breast. Mme. Miolon Carvalho, soprano of the Chatelet (for whom Gounod composed his part of Juliette), is engaged for the Grand Opera at the figure of 60,000 francs a year, with four months' vacation, two out of which may be taken in winter to sing for her own benefit.—Mme. Carvalho is well worth a hundred thousand francs, said the director, Perrin, and by this arrangement I believe I allow her that much. A lyric star of the Grand Opera, "Marie Battu "(this name sounds, in rapid French, 'Very much like Patti), is insulted by the en gagement of Carvalho, and withdraws. She was heard for the last time on the stage in Rue Lepelletier on the solemnity for Rossini, performance of William Tell. On the tat of December the little theatre of Mlle. D6jazet, which annually prepares a comic "Review of the Year," gave a recep lion for the purpose of allowing the authors of the forthcoming Review to read their pro logue to the actors. —At the same theatre, the next evening, one of those little dramas which are successful, however thin, simply because they are trans acted before the curtain: Mr. X— was in a box accompanied by a distracting young person whom he seated behind a curtain to screen her trom the en vious eyes of the parquet—and by another lady. ) some of his friends, arrived by chance, concluded to amuse thethselves at his ex ) - 1, t hand tense. soda, i n w i threetwith Theyinsgtgri glasses so a no f r sf a o n t ro c g e s t aa o ty a t n h t hd e aatwbat the t t eu e r ebo t ll l I ot, was paid by friends of the ladies. •._,i , X hotly refused.

Marville and Darcier, entitled The Young and the Old, in favor of the good old times, and concluding thus:: - "And those old fellows, gentlemen, at whom the taste of the day would laugh, They made 'B9 !—which you would not have done !" A revolutionary spectator, disapproving this peroration, called out "enough." The ,house, annoyed at the interruption,demanded his expulsion, and he went out swearing. The audience did not know that the line Was the inspiration of Mlle. Censure! The verse, as written by the authors, was : "They nude 'B9—would you do as much ?" The change was due the muse of' some Anacreontic policeman. One of the proprietors of the paper La France has erected on the mantel of his office a little affair like a tomb.

Madame Carette, nee M'lle' Bouvet, is the - reader and confidante of the Empress Eu genie, to whom she bears a very strong re semblance, although she looks more majestic and dignified than the Empress. For this reason the servants' at the:Tuileries call her the "Vice Empress." About a'year ago Eu genie said to 'Mlle Botvet, "Annette, it is 'time for you.get married. knolv a hus band' for you. It is M. de Grandguillot." M. de Grandguillot is one of the chamberlains at the Tuileries. The Empress added that she wbuld bestow - a dower upon . M'lle Bouyet if she would marry him. The fair reader blushed tleePly, and; - thank' her MajestY for er kindness, faltered.' out that she Was, alreavy engaged. The Empress started back, ;exclaiming, "Mon. • Dieu, Annette! and you did not tell me ? Who is your intended?" • "It is M. Carette, ,the'llitin ufacturer.-"- This M. Carette is a very wealthy man and a most eligible match; so the Etn press at once congratulated Mlle Bouvet on her good fortune, .and generously offered to bestow tho dower of three hundred thOu sand francs as before . proposed in regard! to.. the .other_match on her reader. M. - Carette, however, - would not accept it. •In a , prilate audience which the Empress granted him, he said he did not _want any money. "But-you must accept some favor at myhands," said the Empress. "Timm," she added, "I shall make.yon my honorary chamberlain." "And I," said the Emperor, who was present, "will add the Cross of the Legion of Honor to the title. Those will be our wedding gifts." "I tbankittlly - aceept them, your Majesties," re plied CArette. [WrWen for the Flilladelphii E l rening Bulletin.) A CRIVISE_IIII_ wits cosiotocuos. BY T. F. N On a bright day of last March the,U. S. S. Contoocook; concerning whose powers of speed so Much. has' - been written; steamed into HamptiM„ltoads from* Portsmouth, N. H., where:ahe bad been built and put in com mission. The Contoocook was ordered to take the place of the 11. S. S. Wampanoag, until that time flag-ship of the North At lantic Squadron, the cruising ground of which lies between the mouth of the Amazon river and as far north as it may benefit the service to go; The Admiral's flag then was transferred from the Wampanaog to the Contoocook, and the latter vessel made ready at Fortress Monroe for her cruise throughout the West Indies and elsewhere to the different vessels of the squadron lying at those points. Final preparations aboard a man-of-war are like linked sweetness exceedingly long arawn out: Stores and powder are to be received on board, alterations for the eomfort of officers and men- must- be made; im provements suggested, acted upon; orders promulgated, and men disciplined—so that some weeks elapsed before all was reported ready_ forsea. OFF FOR TUE SOUTH IN A MAN-OF-WAR The guns are secured for sea, the anchor weighed, the pilot taken aboard, farewells are spoken and Fortress Monroe recedes from view. Cape Henry is passed, the pilot re turns in his own boat, and as twilight creeps upon the land,the crunching propeller drives our good ship tarther out to sea. A ship at sea is a state ashore, both in its legislative and social organization, with a remarkable unanimity between the executive and legis lative branches of government. Messages and vetoes are both unknown. Articles of amendment`are unchallenged. Socially,each member of the community must contribute something for the good of the whole. To the general reader a description of the QUARTERS ABOARD A MAN-OF-WAR may not prove uninteresting. Passing, then, the cabin, in which the captain reigns su preme and alone,we come below on the berth deck and enter the ward-room. In this ward room are quartered all line officers above the rank of Midshipman, with many of the staff. Here are to be found the executive officers, navigator, lieutenants, masters, ensigns, sur geons, paymaster, chief engineer and marine officers. The size of the ward-room of course varies according to the class of the vessel. It is situated "att," is generally commodious, and is fitted on either side with state-rooms for its occupants. Immediately "forward" is the historic steerage (not to be confounded with the steerage of a passenger vessel), the abode of the effervescent midshipmen. In a space of 20 feet by 10, here ten and often sixteen young officers eat, sleep and live. No staterooms are furnished to the steerage, but hammocks nurse the prostrate forms of the darlings of the deep. The economy of space in a man-of-war has been 'reduced to a science. The old saw, "No man is a hero," &c., is strikingly exemplified here. In the ward-room the etiquette of title is generally observed. Not so in the crowded steerage. That young officer who hails from Maine is known by the euphonious name of "Yank." This one, whose star of nativity has risen in the interior of Pennsylvania, is dubbed "Dutch." A Napoleonic exile bears with a shrug the cognomen of "Preachy." The stalwart Western man answers with stolid indifference the call of "Put;" wbile others are suggested - more perhaps from per sonal characteristics than by the localities from which they hail. A COLLISION OFF MATTERAS, AND AN /RISII MANS OPINION OF IT. • _ . The first night "out" in a man-of-war is usually a sad one. Farewells have 'been spoken,and pleasant associations severed, the remembrances of whicji are fresh in the hearts of those leaving home and friends behind. To -night is no exception to the rule. One can gather from the sound and silence of the warairoom the feelings of its occupants. The favorite melodies of Abt, "As the Swallows ," "Sleep Well," etc., float up on deck. From the steerage the listener is requested to "tie de bull dog loose;" also, is informed in a manner univocal how the steerage loves the military and of the happiness of a certain sundower. Song and sound at length die out together, berths and hammocks are sought, and at midnight the sleepless hear nothing save the ceaseless turn of the propeller, the measured tread of the officer of the deck, the occasional shuf fling of' the man at the wheel or the calling of the 'after guard." One hundred miles off Hatteras, and still the vessel like a thing an imate throbs on and on. A crash! a crushing,grating sound, splinter ing of timbers, and then the cry"all hands on deck to save ship!" Otie more dreadful repe tition of the history of the cape. One more fated snip down to its death through the dark gates of Matteras.. - Such are the thoughts of officers and men as in obedience td" the call they crowd on deck to learn the danger. A drizzling rain is falling, and right along aide in the dark ness lies the author of the mischief. A Liver pool packet : inward bound, with a criminal disregard of life—without head lights—has struck thili •Contoocock on the starboard. bow, sheered around, chafes alongside, and, in the expressive language of the boatswain, is "chawin' us all up." The vessel is stopped, the engine backed, and slowly the ships separate. The stranger, in reply to the hail of the officer of. the deck, ENtRei:',BUiLETIN---PHILADE :makes,no reply, and witl:CObsail 'se ~ glides out in the deep darknessthe phantom ,of a night.- 'in examination proves thatthoship, though slightly crippled, is not disabled i " and with this assurance all itimde with thankful hearts again seek rest. , instances have been ielated during the late War Of the sense of - the ludierohs often pre dominating in battle and in places of great danger. An incident occurred' hem- which may be worth relating. A coal-heaver, an Irishman lately arrived in this country, and shipped at Now York, at the time of the col lision was on duty in the fire-roorn below. Feeling the shoc)t., and knowing something was wrong, and yet ignorant what,46 ascended the engine room ladder and asked permission of the engineer on watch to go on deck. His request. refused., Patrick slowly descended, but to return again and repeat his. request with a similar, result. Descending again to his duty, a roll of the vessel pitched him headlong against; a boiler. This was too much for the Hiberniai:i: A coucurrence of misfortune seemed to overwhelm him. Ris ing• slowly and rubbing his head, he ex clahrted : "Faith I an' a mauls life's In Jip-pard-y (jeopardy) here." Patrick had been heretofore and was` ever after Monosyllabic _ ' Great occasions make great men. and he Was equal to 'the emer gency.

I The following particulars of an exploit of the chivalry in this county, which occurred last night near Bartlett's Station, a small place eight miles from Memphis,on the Mem phis and Louisville Railroad, will show that our assertions are not based upon either pre judice or presumption, but upon actual facts. About 1 o'clock ' last' night the several families of colored :people living. on Dr. W. T. Pryor's plantation, about a mile and a half above Bartlett's Station. were startled by the noise of six masked prowlers, who suddenly made their appearance among them. It ap pears the marauders first visited the house occupied by- an old colored man, whose head was white with age, named Williford, and demanded the whereabouts of W. H. Young, a colored man, who had opened a school in the neighborhood, the day previous. Their hideous appearance and boisterous threats to take the life of Young, if they could find him, alarrned one of the women sleeping in the house, and she shrieked a load alarm, which awoke the slumberers in the surrounding houses. The old man not being able or - willing Wien the poltroons where Young was,_they seized :him, without allow ing him to dress himself, and forced him to go out of doors with them and assist in find ing Young. They had got -but a short dis tance from the house when one of the young colored men, named White, in one of the other houses, , who, not being asleep when the alarm ivas given, had rashed. - ont of the house with his loaded revolver, secreted himself ,be hind a well-curb, and ordered them to halt and account for , themselves. -Being a little apprehensive of danger, probably, the scoundrels obeyed, and replied that they were friends, and in search of lost goods, and asked White to allow them to approach close to him. White stubbornly refused, and at once prepared to open fire upon the party, one of which, in the meantime, started towards him. Seeing there was no hope for his own safety, he boldly "let sliver" the cold lead. The villains, including the old colored man whom their had kept fast hold of, instantly broke and tan, with the ex ception of the man at whom the shot was directed, who stumbled to the ground, but quickly recovered himself and followed on. Though all this was done in the briefest time, three more colored men, named Marcus Mil ler, Nat Becton, and Ben . Martin, were on the spot with their shot guns, and fired a volley at the black gowned and cowled fugitives, who glided desperately for the distant timber, for getting their victim, who -took good care to drop aside behind a neighborly shrub. All the colored men hastened forward in pursuit, but as the chivalry beat them in the• chase, they halted, after going about a quarter of a mile, and returned to their homes. This morning upon reviewing the ground they were ho little elated to fidd two masks, a hat and shawl, well perforated with shot, lying on . the ground in the wake of the fugitives. Mr. Young, who was stopping on an adjoining plantation, Upon being- in formed of what had occurred, was, as can be imagined, earnestly thankful for his escape. The colored men who thus bravely de fended their lives have set an example which all should follow under similar circumstances. ITranziated for the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.) ii . o IV SEM OLD RECK P.M BY BARON BRIMS: It is• excellent habit in family cooking to serve up meat boiled in the soup with some taste ful garnish. (It is of the first importance, for a good soup, to put but very feW vegetables in pro portion to the meat into the boiler.) Candidly, even with mustard, boiled; beef all, dry is not lux , , nrious. Cabbage constitutes one of the best and simplest garnishes for boiled beef. Garnish t i f Cabbage.—Cut; the cabbage, wash it carefully, then cook It with salt in;water. Drain the pieces, then press them betWeenthe hands to ex tract as much water as possible. • Put them In a saucepan with, dripping and a little lard; moisten with a few spoonsful of soup, season with salt and pepper, and let them simmer in a corner until wanted. • • It was at the Monastery of La Trappe, in the kitchen where they prepare the meals of visitors, that I found the following mine Potatoes a la Paeiine.'
