Concerning Princes.
Too rarely has a journalist the satisfaction
of speaking well of deceased royalty. This
particularly may be mentioned with respect
to the money matters of princes and sove
reigns, in which, Booth to say, much mean
ness is often to be noted. When George the
second held his first countil after his
father's death, Dr. Wake, Archbishop of
Canterbury, banded the late King's will to
him, supposing, of course, that it would
there be opened and publicly read, and
knowing that the document contained a be
quest of $200,000 to the Duchess of Kendal,
a royal favorite, and more than double that
amount to the Queen of Prussia, the testa
tor's daughter. King George received the
will, quietly put it into his pocket, and
walked out of the room without saying a
word. The Archbishop, who was named ex
ecutor in the will, wanted either courage or
presence of mind to demand that the docu
ment ibould be published or regist9red, And
no one else liked to mention it. he King
never referred to it, but silently took pos
session of the large personal property and
accumulated savings of his paternal prede
cessor, but public rumor stated that the will
was inirnt. The Archbishop made no secret
of its provisions, with which he was well
acquainted, but Frederick the Great repeat
edly demanded payment of the large sum
bequeathed to his mother. Lord Chester
field, who had married the Countess of Wal
singham, niece to the Duchess of Kendal,
instituted or threatened a suit for the reco
very of the legacy to his wife's aunt, and is
stated to have been paid $lOO,OOO, or half
the money, by way of compromise. In
oidinary life, a man who has burnt his
father's will that he might take possession
of his father's property, would be a felon, in
the eye of the law, but it seems that when
Royalty did the rascally act, there was no
punishment for it.
- George 111. , albeit a man who dined five
days out of seven on a shoulder of mutton,
and neither gambled nor indulged in other
expensive practices, so much "outran the
constable," at various times, that Parlia
ment granted payment of his debts to the
amount of $15,000,000 in all. His precious
son, George the Fourth and Fat, owed
$500,000 before he was twenty-one years old,
and had added $300,000 to his debts by the
time he was twenty-four. Parliament paid
the money, (out of the pockets of the peo
ple,) and, as a bribe for his marrying poor
Caroline of Brunswick, his debts were again
paid in 1795, having then reached the
splendid sum of 2700,000, which is equal
to three and a half million dollars. To show
the reckless extravagance of this Prince, we
state that his farrier's bill alone amounted to
$200,000, All that his friends could allege
in extenuation of his dishonest practice of
getting into debt was that he never would
have commenced it if he had a fair start
in life, (he was voted $500,000 for outfit
and $250,000 per annum, on his coming of
age, besides his hereditary $05,000 a year
from the Duchy of Cornwall,) but that
his father, George lIL, had put into
his own pocket, and refused to surrender
a shilling of, the -proceeds of the said
Duchy during the whole period of the
Prince's minority amounting to $1,150,000,
which sum, had the youth been a ward of
chancery, would have been put out to inte
rest, or otherwise profitably invested, and
have been thereby augmented to $1,750,000.
Even after the second payment of the
Prince's debts, he again became involved,
and raised large sums by loan from the
Landgrave of Hesse Cassel, the Mike of
Orleans, (father of the late Louis-Philippe,
ex-King of the French,) and his own par
ticular friend, the Earl of Moira. The
manner in which the last-named creditor
was treated was flagrant indeed, and we
glance at it because the victim is not un
known in our own national history.
Nearly - one hundred and ten years ago,
(7th December, 1754,) was born Francis
Rawdon, eldest son of the second Earl of
Moira, an Irish peer, with vast estates in
England and Ireland. This scion of no
bility was called Lord Rawdon from his
birth, by " the courtesy of. England,"
which permits a peer's eldest son to bear his
father's second title. He entered the army,
and was a lieutenant in an infantry regi
ment when, in 1773, being then nineteen
years old, he embarked for America. At
the battle of Bunker's Hill, while command-.
ing the grenadier company, he received two
bullets through his hat. He became aide
de-camp to Sir Henry Clinton, fought
bravely in the battles of Brooklyn and
White Plains, and was made Adjutant Ge
neral of the Royal forces in North America,
with the rank of lieutenant colonel, in 1776.
Be served with credit in the hazardous re
treat of the British from Philadelphia to
New York, distinguished himself at the
battle of Monmouth, and was then put in
command of a small army in South Carolina,
to keep, the Americans in check until Lord
Cornwallis should come up with a larger
force. This he did, and shared in most of the
succeeding haps and mishaps of his coun
trymen. Finally, his health much injured,
he had' to return to England, and was
created a peer of Great Britain in March,
1783. The only charge brought against
Lord Rawdon in this country was that he
did not use his influence sufficiently to pre
vent the execution of Colonel Haynes, an
American, who was said to have sworn
allegiance to the British, but was tried and
convicted for having tempted a corps to
desert to the army of the enemy. On the
other hand, when Benedict Arnold reached
the British headquarters at New York,
Lord Rms.-don refused to sit down with him
at the table of Sir Henry Clinton, emphati
cally declaring that no gentleman could
willingly associate with such a doubly-dyed
traitor. Six years after Rawdon's return to
England, he succeeded to the title and vast
estates of his uncle, the Earl of Huntingdon,
and, before he was forty, the death of his
father made him Earl of Moira and one of
the wealthiest noblemen in the British
empire. A few years older than the Prince
of Wales, and himself one of the most cul
tivated gentlemen in the Kingdom, he be
came very intimate with the Prince, the
Duke of York, and others of the King's
sons. In the time of the Regency question
be'eloquently; supported the claims of the
Prince. He gave him wise counsel, and
lent him immense sums of money, to raise
which he burthened his estates, until his own
means became so embarrassed that he was
compelled to accept the command of the
army in Scotland. At the age of fifty he
married Flora Muir Campbell, (Countess
of Loudoun in her own right,) the richest
woman in Scotland, and her property was
also drained by the rapacity of the Prince of ,
Wales, who, acting as the bride's father at
the nuptials, had given her away. When
George became Prince Regent he neither
paid the Earl of Moira nor any one else.
From first to last he spent over $3,000,000
of his friend's money ; and finally, to get
rid of him, and enable him to live ac
cording to his station, sent him to India as
Viceroy, in which capacity he remained nine
years. While in this splendid exile he
was created Marquis of Hastings. On his
return, im1822, he was still too poor to live
in England, and finally went as Governor
to Malta, whence he never returned, dying
in 1820 This was the manner in Which
"The first gentleman in Europe," as it was
once the fashion to designate the Prince of ,
Wales, treated a man who deserved to have
bet-n called the British Bayard. It is evident
that a person may be a prince without being
a gentleman.
Of the other NM vt Gkeprge the
Duke of Cambridge alone was not a spend
thrift. He lived within his income—not
verydsiftio,couloot,

an
might say, fr say, e a m s it h a ie mounted

parlia
mentary allowance, his pay of field mar
shal, and his salary, from 1814 to 1837, as
Viceroy of Hanover. The Dukes of York,
Clarence, Kent, Cumberland, and Sussex,
(though their incomes were from $120,000
to-$250,000 a year,) lived and died largely
in debt. The present King of Hanover has
paid what the Duke 'of Cumberland, his
father, owed, and Queen Victoria has dis
charged every indebtedness of the - Duke of
Kent, her father, who - died when she was
only nine months old.
Thanks to here honest notions of living
within her means, and under the curb of an
act of Parliament which provides against
the possibility, Queen Victoria has no
debts. She pays her way, as an honest wo
man should, and in this, as in many other
points, sets an excellent example to her sub
jects. She is distinguished not only for. her.
provident habits, but also for the liberality
which theygive her the means of exercising.
Only the other clay, she sent $l,OOO to the
fund for the relief of The sufferers by the
inundation at Sheffield, °amid by the burst
ing of a water reservoir. We have no
means of judging whether Queen Victoria
saves money out of her income. It is a fact
that she pays income-tax on that income,
which, including £25,000 from the Duchy
of Lancaster and the Parliamentary grant
of £385,000, amounts to £410,000 per an
num, or somewhat over $2,000,000 of our
money—rather more, just now, as her in
come is payable in Bank of England notes
or gold. From various sources, the late
Prince Albert, (whose private income was
only $1,500 a year, like that of King Leo
pold, of Belgium, when he married the
Princess Charlotte of Wales,) received
$300,000 per annum for nearly twenty
two years, out of which his disbursements
were very small, for he paid nothing for
"bed or board." At his death, his savings
amounted, it is said, to over $5,000,000,
which the Queen holds for the benefit of the
children, each of whom, however, will
certainly receive a Parliamentary income of
at least $120,000 per annum.
Iqearly every sovereign in Continental
Europe possesses landed property and money
to a large extent, independent of what is
paid to him out of the public treasury. The
King of the Belgians, the Emperor of the
French, and the Kings of Denmark and
Greece are the only European sovereigns,
we believe (Queen Victoria excepted), who
have nothing but their Civil List to live
upon. Leopold of Belgium is allowed
$840,000 for the support of himself and
family. Napoleon 111., for the same pur.
pose, is allowed $5,300,000. The German
rulers, though generally very wealthy, ap
pear to have a penchant for making their
money go as far as possible. Thus, the King
of Wurtemberg, not only the richest man in
his dominions, but probably the wealthiest
sovereign in the world, does not dispense as
much in benevolent purposes in a year as
some of our own merchant-princes in a
week. He probably would accept as utterly
incredible the current report that Mr. A. T.
Stewart and Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, one
a shopkeeper and the other a shipowner,
had respectively contributed $lOO,OOO to the
New York Sanitary Commission Fair.
When the Crown Princess (n6e Olga of
Russia) gives even a hundred gulden to any
public charity in Wurtemberg, it is para
graphed in every newspaper in that King
dom—the magnificent amount, taking the
gulden at forty cents, being forty dollars!
In like manner, Queen Dowager Adelaide,
who saved up for her family most of the
$500,000 per annum which John Bull gave
her to live On, as a widow, never gave away
a five-pound note in charity but her almoner
had particular mention made of it in the
London newspapers. She was one of the
Coburg family—the Saxe-Meiningin branch.
'1 he Royal Family of Prussia are extreme
ly wealthy and excessively mean. The
Crown Prince being with the invading army,
before Frederica, in Denmark, wrote a
letter to Field Marshal von Wrangel, on
March 20, saying that it was his father's
birth-day, that, being in Denmark, he could
not be in Berlin at the same time, that he
(the Prince) was desirous of giving " lasting
expression to the thankful recognition which
the cheerful devotion of the army deserved,"
that the Crown Princess united with him in
this wish, and that they, therefore, enclosed
1,000 thalers, to be applied " to the forma
tion of a fund for the needy surviving rela
tives of the soldiers who fall in the war, as
well as for those who return home incapaci
tated for labor." This is the old cry, In
the name of the Prophet—figs ! A. thaler is
worth - 75 cents, so that the munificent gift
of Prussian royalty to the sufferers in the
war and the families of the dead soldiers
amounts to $750. We venture to say that
three hundred merchants and traders in this
city will each contribute as much to the
Sanitary Commission Fair.
A prince who lately died is an exception
to the prevailing meanness of royalty in
Germany. The Kings of Bavaria are great
landed proprietors. Louis the First, who
abdicated in 1848, may be said to have made
Munich the metropolis of Fine Arts at his
own proper cost, for the Walhalla, Basilica,
Pinakothek, Odeon, and other world-famous
temples and institutions were founded at his
own sole expense. His successor, Maximi
lian 11., lately deceased, followed in his
father's path, so far as improving Munich,
and has bequeathed the whole of his private
property, estimated at four million gulden
($1,600,000), to be devoted towards those
beneficent objects, calculated to promote
the common good, which, during the life of
the King, formed his chief care. One mil
lion will be devoted to the completion, esta
blishment, and endowment of the Maximi
lian Orphan Institute for the children of
servants of the State ; a similar sum will be
devoted towards the Maximilianeum in like
proportions ; and, finally, a sufficient sum
will be invested in order that the scientific
undertakings, and especially those relating
to hietory,.which were set on foot by his
Majesty, may be carried out, and that the
pensions conferred by him on certain artists,
poets, and learned men may be continued.
This is very princely, and he who did this
deserved to be considered " aye, every inch
a King." It contrasts, very curiously, with
the scandalousi , mean gift, by the Crown
Prince and Princess of Prussia, towards the
relief of families of soldiers slain in battle
and to soldiers themselves incapacitated by
wounds: On one hand, $1,600,000 towards
noble and beneficent objects ; on the other,
also for a national purpose, a miserable gift,
with great flourish of trumpets, of $750.

(Smola Gorreepondeuce of The Pram
OMNIBUS TROUBLEB
The omnibus companies of this city have just ven
tured upon the dangerous experiment of raising the -
usual lareffrom six to ten Cents. An experiment it
is, because it is not very probable that the people
will secede to this extortionate demand ; and dan
gerous, because it is not possible that they will do
anything of the sort. Pedestrianism is not a favor
itt/pairtime with New Yorkers. Your man of mode
rate income lotreli the cushioned microcosm which
jolts his interior economy while it bears him down
town, and thereby suppositiously improves his di
gestion, while it affords hiM opportunity for peril
sing the morniet paper. Yet, despite this fact, there
is a strenuous opposition to the proposed augment's.
tion. Where omnibuses were crowded to repletion,
and the passengers wedged to agony, only some
miserable being, laboring under hallucination, wes
seen—some 'wretched, unumbrellaed man, hiding
himself from the squosity of the season. Hew long
this rebellion will lest remains to be seen, and how
long hungry omnibuses will continue their jog•trot
up and down, so many hisses and abominations to
the unflinching populace which prefers principle
above comfort.
Naturally enough, the dioaffeeted are turning
anxiously toward the great Broadway -tunnel
scheme as presenting a solution for all their trou• '
bier. But although Its prime movers are, doubtless,
earnest in its prosecution, there seems to be
somewhat of a couision - of ideas regarding it: at Al
bany. home of the Senators look upon it tis im
practicable consequently, an opposition, factious
or legitimate, whichever it may be. The city rail.
roadsliave not yet increased the rate upon their
lines, and are waiting, perhaps, until the omnibus
experiment shall have been thoroughly tested.
Bad the increase been moderate, the public would
have coincided 5 but the skip from six cents to ten
seems suggestive of an inconsiderate desire to prey
upon the necessities of the citizens at large. And
so, despite rain and drizzle, the great Metropolis has
unfurled its blucoootton umbrella, and defied the ele
ments and the companies eoetaneously.
MORE CORRUPTION
Our irreprersible Mayor has again unearthed &
suspicious contract. In a communication to the
Board of Supervisors, he calls attention to the - fact
that the iron work pertaining to the now court
house, now in process of erection, is costing the city
from fifty to ninety per cent, more than it should.
If the Mayor's statements are reliable, a most bare.
faced fraud has been perpetrated by somebody, and
the tai-payers are to be saddled with expenses
Which are merely fictitioue. Upon inquiry, he as
outsize that some of our leading founders were to•
tally ignored when proposals were invited, and it is
said that among those who applied for the contract
there were some as innocent of any connection with
or knowledge of founding as en 1111bOth babe 11 sup.
posed to be of sin. It is likewise charged that the
iron work upon the Sanitary Fair building, in
Fourteenth street, has cost from one hundred to two
bunc,red per cent. in excess of an offer soh:tally
made. The Supervisors will sift the matter.
♦ TRICK 07,TEIN BROKER&
The sale of gold certificates at the treasury office
is drawing immense crowds; indeed, rather too im
mense. Long, interminable lines of uneasy men
extend fairly out into the street, and, as the preens
of sale is necessarily slow, the end of the line seldom
attains the desk where the coveted certificates are
actually disseminated. Calculating upon the im
patience of those concerned, a number of sharp
witted boys monopolize a portion of the line, and
sell their positions at sums varying fro% one to two
dollars; and not unfrequently drive a flourishing
trade in this way. By some it is supposed that
these young rascals are employed by the WaU•stteet
brokers, in hopes that by awellidg the ranks of
ostensibletpurchasers those who are far in the rear
will become disgusted and purchase on 'Change at
Wall-street rates. This view of the case does not
seem very improbable.
The sale of rare and costly paintings has grown to
be a feature in the business life of the conunuoity.
But little taste or discrimination seems to be exhi•
bited in purchasing, however; indeed, unless more to
shown, all the atrocities which the European mar
ket has rtjected will ultimately disgrace our private
galleries. Not but that many exquisite paintings
have lately been disposed of at city sales, but that a
disproportionate number of native and foreign mon
stresities has been snapped up by greedy and vulgar
collectors, and there is reason to apprehend that the
painters and glaziers of Europe are reaping a benefit
therefroM which will tempt them to flood UK with
their wares hereafter. On Saturday evening a gale

The Chattanooga Campaign.
Gin. Grant's report of the battle of Chattanooga,
and the operations regarding Knoxville, is a clear,
terse, and simple account of those memorable event,.
He details his preparations for the important engage.
Metall Which took place on the 23d, 24th, and 25th of
November, and vividly describes the fight at Look
out Mountain, and the severe contest at Missionary
Ridge. We have only room for a few paragraphs
from this portion of Grant's account. Speaking of
Gen, Hooker's achievements on the 24th, he say. :
Hooker carried out the part assigned him for this
day equal to the most sanguine expectations. With
Geary's division (12th Corps) and two brigades of
Stanley's division (4th Corps) of Thomas' army, and
Osterhaus. division (15th Corps) of Sherman's army,
he scaled the western slope of Lookout Mountain,
drove the enemy from his rifle-pits on the northern
extremity and slope of the mountain, capturing
many prisoner., without serious lose.
General Thomas is complimented as having done
on the 23d, with hie troops in Chattanooga, what
was intended for the 24th. The enemy, on the 25th,
massed their columns against Sherman. because he
threatened not only their right flank, but, from his
occupying a line across the mountain and to the
railroad bridge across Chickamauga creek, their rear
and stores at Chickamauga station. Gen. Hooker
is reported as not making his appearance, moving
north on Missionary Ridge expected , left on Chatta
nooa Valley, as soon as being detained
four hours building a bridge across Chattanooga
creek. His approach was intended as the signal for
storming the ridge in the centre with strong columns.
But as the rebels were discovered by General
Grant to be weakening their centre in their eager.
nese to defeat Sherman, General Thomas, with his
two corps and a dirialcdt, Were ordered to move on
the centre at Once. - The splendid audacity Of this
charge, and the fulmination of the troops, are well
described in the following:
These troops moved forward, drove the enemy
from the rifle pits at the base of the ridge like bees
from a hive, stopping but a moment until the whole
were in line, and commenced the ascent of the
mountain from right to left almost simultaneously,
following closely the retreating enemy without
further orders. They encountered a fearful volley
01 grape and canister from near thirty pieces of an
and musketry from still well-filled rifle-pits
on the summit of the ridge.
Not a waver, however was seen in all that long
/ine of brave men. Their prenatal was steadily on'
ward until the summit war in their poneesion. In
this charge the casualties were remarkably few for
the fire encountered. I can account for this.only on
the theory that the enemy's surprise at the audacity
of such a charge caused confusion and purpotelesi
aiming of their pieces.
The nearness of night, and the enemy still resist.
ing the advance of Thomas' left, prevented a gene
ral pursuit that night, but Sheridan pushed forward
to Mission Mills.
'3 he resistance on Thomas' left being overcome,
the enemy abandoned his position near the railroad
tunnel in front of Sherman, and by 1 , 1 o'clock at
night was in full retreat ; and the whole of his
strong position on Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga
valley, and Missionary Ridge, were in our posses-
Dion, together with a large number of prisoners, ar
tillery, and email arms.
Thomas was directed to get Granger with hie corps,
and detachments enough from other commands, in
eluding the force available at -Kingston, to make
20 000 men, in readiness to go to the relief of Knox
ville upon the termination of the battle at Clhatta
nooga these troops to take with them rour days'
rations, and teamboat loaded with ration, to follow
up the rive r
On the evening of the 25th November, orders were
given to both Thomas and Sherman to pursue the
en en y, early next morning, with all their available
force, except tbat under Granger Wended for the
relief of Knoxville.
Had it not been for the imperative necessity of re
lieving Burnside, I would have pursued the broken
and demoralized retreating enemy as long as supplies
could have been found in the country. But my ad
vices were that Burnside's supplies could only lass
until the 3d of December. It was already getting
late to afford the necessary relief. I determined,
tc erefore, to pursue no further. Hooker was direct
ed to hold the position he then occupied until the
night of the 301 h, but to go no further south &tithe
expense of a fight.
Returning from the front on }be esth, I found that
Granger had not yet got off, nor would he have the
number of men I directed. Besides, he moved with
reluctance and complaint. I therefore determined,
notwithstancing the fact that two divisions of Sher
man's forces had marched from Memphis, and had
gone into battle immediately on their arrival at
Chattanooga, to send him with his command ; and
orders in seeordance thwewith were sent him at
Calhoun to assume command of the troops with
Gringer, in addition to those with him, and proceed
with all possible despatch to the relief of Burnside.

In the year 1793, on the 19th of June, was pro•
duced, at Drury Lane, the musical spectacle of " Le.
doiske," the musicot which was selected by' Stone°
from the works of Cherub's)! and Kreutzer, added to
certain of his own. The production was rendered
memorable by an accident which heightened the
effect of the last ,cane in a manner as unexpected as
it was striking. When Mrs. °Mich, es the Princese
Lodoiske, was in a blazing castle, the wind blew the
names close to her, but she had suelotentiortitude
and presence of mind not to move from her painful
situation, although she remained at the hazard of
her life. Kelly, seeing her danger, ran up the bridge,
which was at a great height from the ground, to
wards the tower, tolresone her ; when, just as he was
quitting the platform, a carpenter prematurely pulled
away one of its supports. "Down I fell," nay!
Kelly, "and, at the same time, the fiery tower, is

a violent crash, She uttered a scream of terror.
Providentially I was not hurt by the fall, and, catch
ing her in my arms, scarcely knowing what I was
doing, I carried her to the front of the stage, a con
siderable distance from the place where we fell. The
applause was loud and continued ; in fact, had we
rehearsed the scene as it happened, it could not have
been done half so naturally, or produced half so
great an effect. I always carried her to the front of
the stage in a similar manner, and it never failed to
produce great applause. Such are at times the effects

GENERAL NEWS
BIG FLOOD ITC THE RIVERS.—The recent rains
have had the effect of producing an extraordinary
freshet in our rivers, and they are pouring out an
angry flood today, with a prospect of their attaining
a higher stage than has been reached here for years.
The Allegheny wharf yesterday presented, for the
Sabbath, an unusual spectacle. The water rose so
rapidly that it threatened to carry off a large por
tion of the oil lying on the wharf, and a number of
men and drays were employed during the day in re•
moving it, Hundreds of barrels were removed in
this way. Yet sb tepidly did the water rise that at
night the flood was within a few feet of the lower
line of barrels, and destruction threatened a large
amount of property unless it was immediately re
moved. The work of hauling away the barrels was
consequently resumed and, continued until the
greater part of the oil in danger was removed, The
low ground in Allegheny is already under grater, and
those residing in that portion of the city subject to
inundation are making active preparations for the
advent of their unwelcome visitor. —Pittsburg Chroni.
