■ HiCnriosittes of French Succession.
A oiugular montal operation, which passes

Motnory. Wo do not mean ordinary recol

JjyMemorj’s megio, lete in all thereat;
What does this preface lead to ? may bo
asked. Merely to say that we know not what
slight causo, either in conversation or in study,
hMfsmlndod ns of the singular fact that, fori
JiWglHy three hundred years, the sovereign
ruleis of France have rarely been snceeeded
throne by their own sons; indeed,
thav-from the accession of Lotus XIV, in
164 ff ,; no son of a Fronch monarch has suc.-
coeded;to his father’s crown; There is not
much chanco that the son of Natoleon 111
wilt eVer wear the crown, or that tho spoil will
be broken in his person. Charles VIII, of
Fiance, wbo died in 1498, left no lineal hoir
to thi throne, and was succeeded by the
oldest son of Charles, Duke of Orleans—tho
oamewho, on ascending the throne, as Louis
XU/ jiardonod tho wrongs he had suffered
whil».a subject, with tho noble remark, “ The
King.ol Franco does not recollect the injuries
whiCh'the Duke ef Orleans received.”
Louis, was succeeded, by his son-in-law,
FRAacis I—the same who met Henry VIII of
Engl and at the field of tho Cloth of Gold, in
1620,'And who, five years later, being dofeatod
by Charles V, at tho battle of
FaviAy»proudly wrote back to his mothor, as if
ho still wero “ aye, overy inch a King,” that
all had been lost oxcept honor. Henry II and
FnAnois 11, respectively son and grandson to
Francis, broke the spell, for thoy reigned in
succession. Not very prosperously, though,
for Henry was accidentally killed in an on
oountCt at a tournament, and Fn anois 11, hus
bnnd of tho beautiful and hapless Mary of
tjcotliCd, was not more than fifteen months
on and, dying childless, tho crown
doscofiied to his boy-brothor Charles IX,
who fcblds a dishonored place in history, as
having 1 ; authorized, and actually personally
participated in, the massacre of St. Bartholo
mew. like his immediato succes
sor, th)s weak, wicked, and intolerant ruler
was succeeded by his brothor, Henry of
Valois,,who resigned tho crown of Poland, to
which he had been olocted only tho year be
fore (1678), and became King of France, un
der the title of Henry lll—boing the third
son of (Oatherine of Medicis, who wore the
diadem| Here again, in 1589, whon this child

ment, another branoh.of tho family of St. Lonis

‘ ' Whc has hot heard of Heney of Navarre,
the herp of many a song and story of love and
war—the conqueror, as Macaulay’s fine bal
lad relates, at the great battlo of Ivry—tho
belovod of the fair Gabbielle— the tolerant

Pont Neuf in what he loved to call his “ own
good city of Paris”—tho kingly chevalier who
survived tho dangers of many a battlo, to
perish, at last, a victim to the assassin-knife
of tho fanatic Bavaillao.
The son and the grandson of the great
Hrnby:—-Louis the Thirteenth and the Four
teenth—camh noxt, and henceforth the line of
immediate personal succession was destroyed.'
These two reigns ore remarkable in history from
the'time they included and tho contemporary
changes which took place within that extended
period. Ono hundred and four years is an im
mense period for the successive reigns of
father and son. Yet so it was. Louis XIII
camo to the throne in 1610, at tho age of nine
years, and governed daring thirty-two yoars,
with tho aid of tho great Cardinal Richelieu.
Louis XIV, who was only four years old at
his father’s death, was represented for many
years by Anne of Austria, his mother, and
Cardinal Mazarin, his minister and secretly
her second husband. His reign covored a
space of soventy-two years, and witnessed,
among other changes, tho Revolution, Re
storation, and counter-Rovolution of England,
with the downfall of tho Stuart and tho acces
sion of the Guelph dynasty in England; tho
’decline of Venice; the commencement of Rus
sian empire under Peter the groat; tho erec
tion of tho Duchy of Brandorburg into tho
Kingdom of Prussia ; the extinction of even
nominal nationality in Scotland, by tho logis
latiro not of Union with England; tho rise
and rnlo and death of Oliver Cromwell ; tho
greater part of tho meteoric roign of Charles
tho Twolfth of Sweden, and other events of
stirring interest and importance. If any one
bo so curious as to get a pretty accurate idea
of the morals and manners of tho French
Court, under this Louis and his father, with
lively accounts of Anne of Austria and tho
Duke of Buckingham, Cardinals Richelieu
and Mazarin, Colbert tho financier and
“Tho Man in tho Iron Mask,” can amply
gratify his thirst for information {cum grano .
salis ) by reading the veritable narrative, in
which fact and fiction are artistically blended,
entitled « The Three Mousquotairos,” with
Half a dozen continuations, from tho teeming
fancy and fertile pen of that remarkable ro
mancer, Monsieur Alexandre Dumas. Of
him, in that work, it may emphatically bo
said that
“ He lies like truth, and Mill moat truly lies.”
' With tho death of Louis XIV, fairly com
mence the misfortunes which have since pre
vented any King of France being at bis de
mise succeeded by his son. This, bo it re
membered, made a greater fatality by the fact
that, with tho exception of Louis XVIII,
none of them was childless. Louis XIV, dy
inginl7l6, was succeeded by his great-grand
eon, Louis XV, aged five, with the profligato
Duke of Orleans as Regent. Tho real de
cline of France commenced- in this roan’s
reign, which extendod over a term of fifty
four years. Ho was a mere sensualist, fond of
expenso, ambitious of glory, avaricious for
empire, and so convinced of tho coming decay
of tho Kingdom which he ruled, that his
favorito, careless expression was «« After mo,
tho deluge.” So that tho Monarchy survived
himself, its future fate was Indifferent to him.
Noxt camo his grandson, fcoblo, good na
tured, irresolute Louis tho XVI, whoso fa
ther had died many years before, thus again
breaking tho direct liueal succession. This
monarch, more weak than bad, whoso death
exhibited moro manliness than tho whole of
his life had shown, perished under tho hand
of tho public executionor, in the great French
Revolution. His son, called Louis XVII,
only by tho merest mockery of etiquette,
miserably perished in imprisonment shortly
after. Nai»oleon, whom it is timo to call tho
First, if we do not designate him as tho Great,
flung himself into the throne of the Bourbons,
and had a child, proclaimed Napoleon 11, after
tho defeat of "Waterloo, but only a child at the
timo, and nevor exercising any sovereign
power, though he lived to roach tho term" of
manhood.
Stanislaus Xavier, brother of the guillo
tined King, assumed tho title of Louis XVIII,
on tho death of his ngphew, the Dauphin, in
1795, hut went by the name of the Count de
Provenoe until the (Restoration, in 1814.
Dying childless, he was succeeded by his
brother, the. Count d’Artois, in 1824, who,
under tho name of Chahles X, terminated Ms
roign in 1830, by flying from France, to avoid
the perils of the Second Bevolntion, which his
own mlsgovemment had precipitated, if not
caused. ThoDncdoßEnnj,onlyson of Charles
X, was assassinated early in 1820, and his
posthumous child, the Count de Chambobd,
an exile from Ms native land, has small pros
pect of becoming King of France. Even if
he shonld, he is a childless man.
Louis Philippe, elpvatod to the throne,
by the Kevolution of July 1880, as «the best
of Republics,” was ignominionsly expelled, as
“Mr. John Smith,” in February, 1848. His
oldest son, killed by an accident, in 1842,
would probably have succeeded him, had her
been alive in 1848. As it was, tho Count de
Paeis, eldest grandson of “ tho Citizen ” oc
cupies tho same position as the Count be
Cuahdord, his relative, and is hut a Pretender,
to tho throne.
Tho son of tho oldor Napoleon died a Co
lonel in the Austrian sorvico, without ovor
having worn the Imperial diadem which bis
father’s valor and statesmanship had won.
Tho prosent Napoleon is but “ the nephew
of my uncle,” and the chances nro that his
son, a child, who will bo three years old
in March, and already has been promoted to
the rank of Corporai v in a French Regiment
(of boy-soldiors), will never wear the Impe
rial purple. It was thinking upon his position
and prospects that led ns into a train of recol
lection which suddenly went off, as our read
ors may perceive, into tho rapid resumi of
French interrupted succession which we here
have written down.
There is only one thing more remarkable in
modern history—pamely, the angular parallel
which has been traced, more than once, be
tween' the Revolution of England, com
mencing in tho reign of Charles the First,
and that of France, which be 6 an in tho time
of Louis the Sixteenth. The decapitation of
Charles Stuart and Louis Capet —the rise
and reign of Oliver Cromwell and Napo
leon Bonaparte— the Restoration, in both
conntrios—the reigns of Charles the Second
and Louis tho Eighteenth—tho final deposi.
tionof tho succeeding brother of each—and
the accession of remoter relatives in England
and France, present wondrous points of con
trast and resemblance, and, matter to be seri
ously considered by those who devote, any
thought to tho study of tha Philosophy of
History. Nor is it loss _ remarkable that
Louis Philippe himself, when on the throne
of France, should have seriously meditated
upon this subject. Among his private papers,
found and published after his flight to Eng
land, was this parallel drawn out with great
accuracy and minuteness, continued almost
down to the very day of his enforced abdica
tion, and wrltton with his own hand. We
have a copy of this document somewhere, and
shall certainly publish it when we can lay
hands upon it.

As the present week will, by mtny of oar readers, be
to a great extent oooupied In making purchases for the
holidays, & column such as we here propose making
will be convenient for reforenoe to many, and cot

[Correspondence of The Press.J
Nxtr Yore, Deo. 20, 1858.
Tho Autocrat of the Breakfast Table Is posted to de
liver a lecture to-morrow (Tuesday) evening, at Rut
gers-street Church, for the benefit of the Rutgers Fe
male Institute. The ju cy little Eseulaplua has been
some days in town, enjoying the hospitalities of onr
literary gentlemen and wits, and was handsomely dined
at tho Gentary Club on Saturday. In the evening a
goodly number ef members dropped in, informally, and
enjoyed the pleasure of listening, for a couple of hours,
to the sparkling chat of tbe best Yankee talker in the
country. As the olab, and what transpires within its
walls, is strictly private, I am precluded from giving
details.
Whatever may be said to the contrary, by critics and
reporters, who were not / present, the attendance at the
Mount Vernon Festival, on Saturday afternoon and
evening, was very far short or what was expected, and
what it ought to have been. The house was not half
fillod, and the performances weut off without any vim.
The liveliest bit of tbe whole affair was John Broug
ham’s “Vision of Columbus.”
It was funny to see in the long advertisement of the
Festival, that as an inducement towards contributing
to it' tho contributor would hare the satisfaction of
knowing that he was giving “a sou’s mite toward
maintaining inviolate the home and tomb of the Ame
rican who was born childless that the nation might call
him father.” Born ohiMlesa is good!
One of the curious facts recently revealed by the pub
lication of custom house tables, is, that there was im
ported into this country, last year, three hundred
thousand pounds of opium. Of this amouat it is esti
mated. from reliable data, that not more than one
tenth is used for medloinal purposes. The habit of
eating opium is known to be spreading rapidly among
lawyers, doctors, clergymen, and literary men, and
enormous quantities are used by the manufacturers of
those poisonous liquids, which are dealt out In drinks
in the s aloons and groggerios that infest every city and
Tillage in the country.
Tho gentleman who represented the New York
Herald on board the United States steamer, Niagara
during the cable expedition, is to be honored with a
complimentary supper and testimonial by the editorial
and reportorial force of the Herald , on the ocoaaion of
hla retiring from tho staff of that paper. Mr. Mullaly,
the gentleman to bo honored, is about to oommence the
publication of a weekly Roman O&tholio paper, under
the auspices of Archbishop Hughes, and it is to he, os I
am told, the official medium through which that prelate
will communicate with the public. The FYetman 1 *
Journal , which has hitherto been the Arohbishop’s
month-piece, has, it is supposed, assumed too much
of political character to be effective as a religious pa
per, hence the new enterprise. The Journal is con
ducted with marked ability, by Mr. McMasters, and is
understood to be In a nourishing condition.
On Wednesday noxt, the descendants of the Pilgrims
belonging to the New England Society of this city, ce
lebrate the two hundred and thirty-eighth anniversary
of the landing at the blarney-stone, by a sumptuous
dinner at the Astor House.
There promises to be a little excitement at the elec
tion to be held on the sth of January, to elect a mem

Mrs. Abbott, the actress, whose death’iaat week, was
mentioned In one of my letters, was a native of Orang*
county, on the New York and Erie Batiromd. Bhe wstf
forty-four years old. Her last appearance in this eity
was at Miss Cushman’s farewell performances at
Niblo’s, last summer. She came to New* York at as
early age, and was indentured tea milliner. During
her service she became acquainted with several ac
tresses, who encouraged her to go upon the stage., At
twenty Bhe/debuted at the old Franklin Theatre, Chat
ham square, then managed by Dinneford; remained a
year} then to the Bowery for a year, and'tbence to the
old P ark, where she remained until that establishment
was broken up. In 1843 she married Abbott, a very
gentlemanly man and clever actor, who early In life bad
besn the companion of Georgy the Fourth, Byron, Hob
house, Coleridge, Charles Lamb, and that set. He

A. had laid up a competency for the “rainy day,” but
came nigh losing it by endorsing for a woman in busi
ness, whose affairs she took into her own hands, and to
managed them as to come out without loss. She was
very highly respected.
, The Piccolomlni is in luck. A number of her lady
admirers have purchased for her a beautiful present,
consisting of a silver salver, pitcher, goblets, and an
elegant watch and chatelaine, as a token of'their appre
ciation of her talenfras an artist, and her amiable quali
ties as a lady. *
A year or two since, an intelligent,lady-tike,modekt.
delicate woman, the wife of a clergyman, who, unlike
meet of his was possessed of moderate wealth,
established In this city “ The House of Mercy,” an in
stitution for the reclamation of the unfortunates ef her
own sex. Boon after Its usefulness began to manifes t
itself, and the labors of the self-denying lady began to
bear fruit, her husband died, leaving the entire miuag< ♦
ment of the institution, domestioand financial, upon her*
Within a few weeks a payment of $2,000 would be
oome dne upon the property. With the promptness and
energy that have, marked all. her efforts in connec
tion with the “House,” and the more noteworthy la '
, her from the apparent ’’childlike quietness and.meek
nesa with which she goes about, she resolved upon
having a Fair. Articles were obtained, by pdrohase and
donation, sufficient to make a respectable show, and, a*
she hoped, to bring in four or five hundred dollars. Tha
doors were opened; friends and purebasers came thick
and fast; the ladies gave to it their time, their hands,
and their hearts;- the .gentlemen, untied their purse
strings. The result was that Mrs. Bicbmcnd—that ig
the lady’s name—was enabled to put'twelve hundred
dollars, net, Into her “House of Mercy treasury,
much to her satisfaction’end greatly b-yond her expec
tations. She now contemplates giving a concert,
ploying for that purpose the very best obtainable
artists, and hopes to realize enough to payoff the whole
of the approaching instalment. What would the chari
ties and the houses of meroy do. in this cold, busy,
bustling world, witheut such noble, self-sacrificing
creatures as these blessed women ?
GENERAL NEWS.
A Smart, Sttzkdleb.—Last:Monday after
noon, a man, apparently a German, called at the
store of Messrs, white & Bird, New York! and de
sired to be shown some sets of fnrs. The clerk,
displayed different ; sets, and.at last the customer
chose two mink sets, valued at $155, and stated
he wanted them to present to a lady who had been
very kind to him in. a fit of sickness, but would
like--the privilege of exobanging them before
Christmas in case they did not spit. The gentle
man desired the goods to be sent to No. 179 East
Broadway, and stated he would pay for the fhra
there On© of the firm, to make sure .that no
swindle oould be perpetrated, sent around to aso
-ther store of theirs, a short distance iff, for a very
sharp lad, to take the goods, which were sent to
the house in Bast Broadway, where the oustomer
met the boy at the house, and gave him a check
on the Pacific Bank, New York. When the cheok
was taken to the bank, it was ascertained to bo
bogus.
One of the firm immediately proceeded to tha
house in East Broadway, when it was ascertained
that the man who 'bonght the fora had engaged
board at the bouse Monday morning', and gave, as
a referenoe, a partner of his named Palmer, who,
ho said, was conneoted with' him in a commission
business down town. Hie deteotive force wero
made acquainted with the facts of the case, but no
clne conld be obtained of the swindler. s
Dead Rabbits awat fboh Home.—Font
rowdies attempted to stay over night in the vil
lage of Mount Vernon, Westchester county, New
York, on Wednesday evening last, but made them'
clerk; and insoiehUy demanded acooMmooiitfoiis
for the party fo/tfianigh't.' /Being refused, they
west successively fe.two hotels, kept by Germans,
and tried their game of intimidation with like
failures; one of the Germans chased them with a
loaded gun, and attempted to shoot at them, but
the gun missed fire. Meantime, a few citizens
had come together and joined in pursuit of tho
marauders. They were found, near midnight,
trying to force an entrance to a cottage occupied
by a quiet Irish family, the members of which,
they had so greatly terrified that,they were
screaming for help. The scoundrels fled in hot
baste, and took different directions, on the ap
proach of the citizens, and were not seen again.
Another suoh set will be warmly received there.
Abbest of Body-Snatchers.—A gang of
body-snatchers were pounoed upon by tbe polioe of
Ohioago a few days since. Two of tbe number
jumped from the wagon and took to their heels olose-
Jy followed by tho polioe, but escaped after being
fired at. The.third being accoutred in two overcoats
and found -it difficult to maintain a
very rapid gate through sand, and was overtaken.
The wagon Was found to contain the implements
for digging and lifting the coffin, and' also strong

amounted to less than $4,000.
Working op Sawdust.—The logennlty ol
Parisian oabinec-makcrs, in the Faubourg St. An
toine, has found a use for oommon sawdust whioh
raises the value of that commodity far above the
worth of solid timber. By a new process, combi
ning the hydraulic press and the application of
intense heat, these wooden particles are made to
re-form themselves into a solid mass, capable of
being moulded into any shape, affd presenting a
brilliant surface, a durability and beauty of ap
pearance not found in ebony, rosewood, or ma
hogany.
Good. —An Irishman named McCarty, at
Port Chester, N. Y., attempted to run away from
his wife with all the money earned by her as a

a T»ge, he stabbed his father in tbe abdomen. Mr.
Toda survived but a few hours. He was sixty-five
vears of ago, and his son is a man grown. He has
been taken to the Litchfield oounty jail.
Burlesque.— One of the funniest things
got up in New York lately was the'excursion of an
anger association, in burlesque of the target ex
cursions. Bach man oarries an auger instead of
a gun, a Calathumplan band accompanies them,
and the exercises consist In walking blindfold to
the target and boring a hole through it.. Not
one man in twenty oan do it, and the blunders
that are made cause a great deal of sport.
The Cincinnati Times says the coke ovena
attached to the foundries of that city are ohoioa
spots, where river loafers, who spend all their
money for whiskey, and beg or steal theirfood,
resort to sleep in the cold wintry nights. These
ovens stand out from the foundry, are always hot,
and, every oold night, hundreds of these men sleep
on the ground, olose to tbe ovens..
