A Secessionist Trick. Th e New Orleans TiMCS, of the With ult., says ; "We have been sold, most egregiously sou"; as ,many other very goon and respectable 'people have tem before us. Some ingenious person, signing himself or herself 'Emily re. Washington,' sent us 41 really beautiful patriotic poem—when read in the usual way—which we .published : . in our Sunday's hme, but which turned out to bean scroitic of the most abominably rebel character." . . By reading the first letters of each line, and add ing the 'last line iot each stanza, we get the fol lowing : ...Sink, sink the stare and stripes forever! 'fiord, fall the Bannered Cron? Oh never! "Waft. wait the murdered brave to glory, - Who 'noath Mac flag. in battle gory. Denounce the oars and stripes forever!" - The New Orleans Era says, indignantly :3 "If by such arts of cunning our contemporary ex- Teats to fan into a flame the expiring embers of se 4:essionism in this city, it will signally fail." ileicaollOWs'the'poemr - • • ' - • - THE STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER.

Eugenie and the DOCileSg ROW THE EMPEESS WAS INSULTED AND FELL OUT WITH MIR LOPING ATTENDANT. traits (October 12) CorrispondTkce of the London Court ToT.intil ) The stay at Biarritz has not been so agreeable this year for the Empress. The coolness which has arisen between her Majesty and one of her favorite friends has somewhat embittered the latter days of her sea side holiday. To those who wonder that this iden tical friend, of all others, should not have been se- Jetted to accompany her on the voyage, a foolish story is told, which, if true, would amply account for the favorite's disgrace. It seems, that the Em press, who is a far bolder rider than Walker, is soon and easily fatigued when climbing rooks or moun 'Ulna ; but, with the brave spirit which balongs to her early education, she will, nevertheless, persist in heading every exploring party on each perilous visit to the various natural curiosities which lie within reach of Biarritz, and which, with the per versity well known to traVellers, have the same knack there as elsewhere, of hiding themselves in the most dangerous defiles and among the most tremendous precipices to be found in the whole country. On one of these excursions it seems that her Majesty—whose adoption of the long white wand has recently been the subject of so much criticism, but which, like moat fashions of the kind, has, - nevertheless, its serious raison d'elre—having been seized with the 'weakness in the left knee, brought on by the fatigue of climbing for some time over the rolling stones of the dried bed of a' certain torrent mean, St. Jean de. Luz, bad slipped, and, had it not been for the stout arm of one of the gentlemen who had accompanied her on the excursion, she would have experienced a severe fall. As it was, her Majesty, all pale and (Waite, was compelled to re main seated upon a portion of rook until a litter could be prepared for conveying her back to the car riage, which bad remained at the bottom of the as cent. They say that some spiteful demon is now and then busy with the affairs of mortals here be low ; and, sure enough, one of these dreaded spirits must have just then been wandering about upon the spot • for, while the litter was being prepared, and the impress, though not in the least hurt, was still laboring under great alarm, and was leaning with lmr back against the rock, in all the disorder of a toi let disarranged by the accident, awaiting with great 'impatience the moment of returning home to repair the, confusion, a light, shrill laugh was heard be hind the rook against whichther Majesty was seated. " How la the Empress now? Have you seen her Jaifejsaty since the accident'!" were the questions uttered by one of the gentlemen of the party to 'Which the reply, in a well-known voice, was - with an accompanying laugh, which must have sounded singularly discordant after all the pro testations of friendehip and devotion that voice had :been so used to utter. . . " Oh, yes, I have seen the Empress just this moment; but I cannot say that I could see her liajesty.". This repetition of the Baying of the Duchess de Montmorency, when speaking of Henri Quartre on the occasion of his entrance into. Paris, was cer tainly neither Witty enough nor original enough to be worth the risk of losing forever the love, the patronage, the confidence and affection of the im perial lady, who had in this case proved them all most generously towards her who had uttered the unseemly pleasantry. Such is the story told of the disgrace of a certain lady who is to be missed from the courtly circle of the corning winter, and who is destined to regret with bitterness that she had not been brought up to the precaution of thinking before speaking. She was of course unaware that she was standing just in , the hollow of the projecting rock behind which her Majesty was seated, and the wind blowing in the right direction carried every word to theiroperial ear. There is said to be far more of sorrow than of anger in the feeling 'expressed by ter. Majesty towards the offender—disappointed' affection and misplaced confidence in one who, for the sake of a sorry-joke, could incur even the chance of wounding the self love and sensibility of the imperial mistress. AFFAIRS IN PARIS I recently told you that Le Jardin Nlabille was _numbered k ith the past, and now another and well known Paris establishment is threatened with dis solution. Les Trois Freres Provenceaux is to be sold, and, if not sold, closed. This restaurant, which we may consider as the University at which our .grandfathers matriculated in the art of dining, as distinguished from eating, was originally started by three brothers, who brought with them from Mar seilles the secret of making bouillabaisse and Won: These gastronomic brothers introduced a new school of cookery into Paris, and gradually their establish ment became the fashionable dining place. Many great characters have patronized the little "cabi nets" of the Trois Freres. Artistic dinners, at which Adolphe Adam Wagner and Halibran were present, are .still remembered. Political banquets to Foy, Lamartine, and Lafayette were held there —Metternich, Benjamin Constant, Madame Reca niter, Batzac, Gortschakoff, and Prince de Ligne were clients ; and there, too, the four Englishmeni, or, to Speak more correctly, the three Englishmen and one Irishman—the latter a witty lawyer, M: P., and finally commissioner, now dead—had a dinner, of which admiring waiters still talk, since it cost two thousand five hundred francs. Finally the An- Mamites were brought to the Trois Freres to eat their first Paris dinner. This "classic spot" is to be sold for fifty thousand francs, without the cellar, plate, or furniture. The Restaurant des Trois Freres is almost the last remaining glory of the Palate Royal, which, formerly the rendezvous of all foreign .ere is now neglected for the brilliant new quarters of Paris. Mr. Charles-Mathews , engagement at the Varie ties terminates with his benefit on Thuradsy or on Saturday, if Mr. Mathews can stay till that day. lie himself plays the character he has made so popu lar:With the Parisians, VAnglais Timide, but the performance will include morceanv from all manner -of favorite thratres. Delazet, Boutib, and, indeed, -every actor and actress in Paris, have tendered their services to Mr. Mathews, and M. Regnier - wished to bring the whole of his company from the Theatre Francais but Government would not allow his Majesty's servants" to appear on the stage of a minor theatre. There was A good platUre yesterday in one of thA illustrated papers—a sergeant reading the " Wars of the First Empire" to three recruits. "These brave boys," reads the non-commissioned one, " while on every aide biting the duet, never cease to look the enemy in the lace." " Tien! it is impossible, my sergeant," says recruit ; "allowing that the French soldier bit the dust, which, is both nasty and unna tural, how could he look his enemy in the face 1" •" You are young, my boy ; nothing is impossible to sa French soldier," BALLOON ASCENSION PEO3f LONDON. Mr. Ooxwell, in the London Times, describes his :ascent for the five hundredth time. Hon. Robert J.' Walker accompanied this aerial trip I• had never seen the Thames and surrounding •country open out with a liner view, at so late an hour. We could clearly discern the mouth of the river, and the seacoast beyond. The leading build ings and striking objects were_ beautifully conspicu• •ous. St. Paul's and the house of Parliament not only elicited admiration, but actually produced mer riment at their tiny, toy-like appearance. Raving been previously examined by our trans-Atlantic irientis, and their magnitude and magnificence per. •ceived by a terrestrial view, it seemed almost impos elb/e that those vast edifices could now appear so Alma and distinct. st similar charming diminution pervaded the say 'and suburbs, but not so as to prevent us from die. cerning all the great leading features and buildings, which were pointed out one after the other, to the infinite delight of 'the voyagers. At one mile high the health of her Majesty was drunk, with waving of flags and becoming honors. Then followed the respective Governments of our companions, both 'American and German. These toasts were given in that broad cosmopolitan spirit which became men who, for the time present, had left all nations, and felt a common love for the hu man family, and for those who direct their desti nies. It was therefore with heartfelt sincerity we hoped that the calamities which afflicted some por- Mons of the great globe beneath us would speedily .cease, and that science and Christianity, instead of ;strife and misery, may speedily prevail; There were other appropriate interchanges of men limenttand then the Stars and Stripes and the En lieh .flag waved harmoniously, and the setting sun, too, as if approvingly, shed his parting lustre on a range of goigeous clouds in the east, and we travel led on most merrily until darkness prevailed,. when -we cast anchor at Potton, near Bedford, where an easy descent was made. Tile Virginia Salt Works; (Prom the Memphis Appeal.] The capacities of the Virginia salt works are about ten thousand bushels per day. ,There are some forty furnaces in all, operated by States and private indi. viduals ; the States of Virginia, Tennessee, &labile. Ma, Georgia, and North Carolina, all have furnaces in operation. The water is obtained from four dif ferent wells, by merino of force-pumps, and is con- Aucted to the furnaces through wooden pipes. It is - the strongest salt wider of which any knowledge is ' , possessed, being twenty.flve per sent., and requiring only twenty.five gallons of water to make a gallon of salt. Of sea water, three hundred and 'fifty gal lons are required to give the Same yield, Great di[ floillty is experienced in procuring fuel for boiling kettles. The 'wood for miles around has been ex hausted and it now has to be transported a long dis tance, either by wagons or over the railroad. It is • estimated to cost from twenty-four to thirty dollars cord, delivered at the works. Several furnaces are . now Idle for want of fuel, The water is bolted in _large iron kettles, ranged over fires, and the crysta 'llisistfon is rapid. The main works, with one thou sand acres of land attached, are owned by Messrs. Stuart, Buchanan, & Co., who purchased them from Dlr. Thomas L. Preston for the sum of four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. NONITORS.—Chief Engineer Stimers con. -dudes his letter of defence against -the charges, of .Admiral Dupont as follows : I here close what I 'have thought it well to say concerning this attempt Thy Bear A.dmiral Dupont to justify his inaction and lailure, by attacking .that system of war vessels which has already, in my opinion, given us a more effective fleet than is possessed by any other nation. iijudialous use of these vessels might have trans mitted his name with honor far into the future ; an assault upon the system can but recoil upon the as sailant.

W. corner of Eieventtx and Cherry streets, Mr. Isaac S. Williams, president, in the chair. The annual report of the board of menagerie was then read by the secretary. The report states that the debt incurred since eie purchase of the Nurses' Home has been fully liquidated. The so- ciety has extended the benefits of charity-to three hundred 'anti 'thirty.mix women, all of whom beve lled good recovery, with the exception of one, who died from %the effects of pulmonary consumption. Of the above number one hundred and seven were visited by the lady members of ;the board, who supplied them with nursing aid, and in oases of extreme poverty with necessary nourishment 'during convalescence. Within the past thirteen years 4,411 obstetric cases were attended to without ()barge by the physicians of the lying. in charity, and among these only 12 have Med. In the clinic for diseases of females 118 women have received treat ment during the past year, a large proportion of whom have been cured, the remaining cases being. beyond the reach of medical aid. The number of nurses at present residing at the Home is 22. The treasurer's report was then read, which showed a receipt of $2,191 40, and paymentof $2,040, leaving a balance on hand of $157 40. , An election for officers to serve during the °usu.. ing year then took place, which resulted as follows : President, Caspar Wistar.

Michael Carney, aged forty , seven , years, was also admitted into the same institution, having fallen down a railroad embankment near fiestonville, in the Twenty. fourth ward. He received a fracture of his right shoulder-blatle and considerable injury to his right leg. NARROW ESCAPE.—An aged gentleman, named McClernona, had a narrow escape of his life yesterday afternoon, at the foot of Washing ton-street wharf. A fence had been erected across the wharf by the Union Volunteer Refinitiment Committee to prevent persons from gaining admix= Sion to the rain Atlanta, without' refunding the amount , desired. Mr. McOlemona was employed to receive the tickets at the door, behind which he was sitting when a train of care, belonging to the Penn. Sylvania Railroad- Company, came rushing along with great force, breaking the fence down and near ly running over the gentleman mentioned above, who jumped away just in time to escape death. THE 119 Th (GRAY RESERVES) REGI SIENT.—In the brilliant action of Saturday, at Rap pahannock Station, this regiment greatly distin guished itself in the storming of the enemy's works. The brigade, composed of such splendid material as the 119th Pennsylvania, 6th 'Maine, 6th Wisconsin, 49th Pennsylvania, and 96th Pennsylvania,- was commanded by Col. Ellmaker, acting brigadier, and to it belongs the honor and glory attendant upon the capture of seven of the enemy's guns. Two of the wounded officers of this , regiment are reported at the Harewohd HosPital, in Washington—Capt. Hodgson and Lieut. Coxe. _ANNIVEIiSARY.—The one hundred and thirtyilrst anniversary of the birth, of Benjamin Banneker was celebrated last evening by;the mem bers of the Banneker Institute, at the Masonic Hall, on Eleventh street, below Pine.

Woodward's S months' independent artillery company, Nov. ath, and Capt. W. F. Rich's 3 months' independent in fantry company, Nov. 2d.- MORE lon.—The shallow ponds in the suburbs of the city were beautifully enamelled yes terday morning, for the second time this season, with a coat of ice about a onarter of an inch in thickness. Surely winter is fast approaching, and the poorpeople will no doubt find it very.,hard to keep comfortable during the coining cold spell if the price of clothing advances much higher than it is. ACCIDENT.—An accident .took place Yea teulay marring, at Dock and Walnut streetl, to oar No. 4, of the Chestnut and Walnut-street Passen ger Railroad. The jolting of the car as it passed over the junction tracks canned one of the - patent axle supporters to break, thereby preventing the car from bring used till another supporter was at tached to it in place of the broken one.

The above gentlemen are well acquainted with their subjects, and an interesting time may be anticipated. THE subscription agent reports the sale of $1,250,000 of five•twenty bonds on Monday, and the amount coming from the West and from local subscriptions is extraordinarily large. Over one half of the amount came from the sources indicated. THE POLICE. [Before Mr. Alderman Bettler .Sitnday Concert Saloon Augustus Born was arraigned at the Central Sta tion yesterday afternoon, on the charge of a viola tion of the law made for the government of the Sabbath, by keeping a lager beer and concert saloon open on - Sunday evenings. Several years since an attempt was made to give sacred concerts on Sun day evening, at what was then Called the City Museum. This was promptly checked by Mayor Conrad. Since that time the concert saloons have augmented, until their number may be considered enormous. Recently, the proprietors of seven or eight of them, not content. with selling lager beer privately on .Sunday evenings, 'introduced music, soft, sweet, and sacred. After a little while the en tertainments-began to assume such proportions as to obliterate all idea as to the time employed, and neighbors bEgan to complain. Recently the atten tion of Mayor Henry was called to the Sunday eve ning nuisance, and he promptly issued orders to Lieut. Franke to notify the proprietors that they must stop. Six of the proprietors at once yielded. Mr. Born was notified, but ibeeded not the admoni- Hen. lie was therefore arrested by Lieut. Franks and arraigned as stated above. Hewes required to enter bail in the sum of $6OO to answer at court.
