Marpetos Magazine for August.
Always _readable, the now number or Harper Is
better than 'ever. Out of twenty articles, ten are
illustrated, not In a scant measure, but with over
(tidy engravings on wood, executed in the best style
Of art. The opening paper—ant Guernsey, nut Dl
rtbolus—is a fair resume of by far the most attractive
volume about Adventures in Africa yet republished
by Harper & Brothers. This is Wlnwood Rondo's
"Savage Africa," tronting of the gorilla and the
"Intelligent native contraband," of unicorns and
tailed men, of the slave trade and the irrepressible
nigger. The author was a. fashionable being in
London, who thought he would personally ascertain
whether Du (Jhaillu had reported truly of Africa.
Ho candidly confesses that he makes no pretensions
to the title of Explorer, but says, "If I have any
merit, it is that of having been the first young man
abouttown to waken bondfide tour in Western Africa,
to travelin that agreeable and salubrious country
with no special object, and at his own expense; to
Amer In the virgin forest; to smoke his cigar
among cannibals, and to flirt with pretty savages."
lithe latter object ho succeeded In accomplishing.
His tender relations with the charming Ananga,
daughter of the King of the Rambo, are told in the
plainest language—how touching and tender is tho
narrative of his teaching her the affectionate use of
lips I—and we really should like to know what was
the color of this mahogany-hued Venus' first baby I
Heade% " Savage Africa" is truly a readable book,
and we say this without meaning to pun, which, of
course, being of a silent and saturnine nature, wo
conecientionsly eschew. Messrs. Harper have . pub-
Bailed quite a library of African Travels and Ex
plorations, and surely this volume on Savage Life
in Africa is ono of the best of the soAes.
Next to this notice of . Reade's book ha history of
Theodosla Burr, the gifted and devoted daughter of
Aaron Burr, who, on account of his politics, was
persecuted and exiled, after having shot Alexander
Hamilton In a duel. In those days—exactly sixty
years ago—it was considered that hp who Insulted
or wronged another was bound to explain or atone,
or, in default, give his antagonist "satisfaction" at
the point of the sword or at the•pistol's month. If
ever a man provoked another it wasliamiltoia, who,
for years, had been vilifying Burr in letters and in
conversation, as a man, who, with more than the
talents, had all the ambition of a Oatallne. At last
he was brought to look for this slander, and after
much shifting and shuffling, the working of coward
ice or conscience, met the man ho had so long tra
duced, and fell in the encounter. For more than
half a century Aaron Burr was calumniated on Re
count of this duel. The reproach was removed by
Mr. James Parton, the biographer of Jackson, But
ler, and Franklin, who related Burr's story seven
years ago, with a force and fidelity which at once
made their mark. Mr. Parton has just published a
new and enlarged edition of his " Life and Thum
of Aaron Burr," and whoever desires to see how
an able man was driven out of public life by
Rumor, may profitably read that book. The
duel in which Hamilton fell was ns fair an encoun
ter as any two roan ever engaged in. Burr was the
wronged man, and Hamilton was his sftmderer. It
has been the fashion to represent Hamilton as a
sort of saint, anti Burr as a wretched sinner, and
this in the teeth of the fact that Burr was ever care
ful of woman's reputation, and that Hamilton wrote
a pamphlet, still to be seen in the Philadelphia
Library, in ;Thiel he gave details of his very scan
dalous intrigue with ono Dirs. Reynolds, a fair and
frail married woman. Burr's ambitious views led
him to Blennerhassett, about the meanest Irishman
who ever found an asylum in this country—but we
lately saw it asserted that the charms of Mrs. Bien
nerhassett were the inducements. This is wrong.
Burr treated her, as she deserved, with the respect
a true woman 'was entitled to, and never exceeded
the bounds of propriety. A recent octavo volume, (en
titled "The Blennerhassett Papers," by William
Safford, published by Moore, Wilitach, & Baldwin,
Cincinnati,) shows the exact relations between tho
parties, and while it does notleave any very favorable
impression of BerManl3lennerhassett, who ever was
a mauraissujei,abundantly. clears Burr's memory. (Of
AI r. Parton's " Life of Benjamin Franklin," unques
tionably one of the best biographies in our language,
we mean to speak at an early period—meanwhile
we say "Read it I") The article In. harper on The
odosia Burr shows what manner of man the traduced
was. The affection of this father and this daughter
surely was tender and true ; she understood him, at
least. So kind, previsive, and confidential a man
as Burr was to .his only daughter could not have
been bad. He was no worse than the men of his
time, and muck better than the openly-flagitious
Hamilton.
Other articles of note here are, "Tho Military
Hospitals of Fortress Monroe," " The Shakspeare
Tercentenary," the "Editor's Easy Chair," and the
"Last Words of W. M.. Thackeray;" being- the con
cinsion, so far as written, of his novel called " Do
nis Duval." Are we dulll are we Stupidl are we
Blow 1 /Of:epode! but we think that this same last
novel, by the great cynic, is a great failure. Net
all his charm of manner can redeem a great heavi
ness of plot.
Of course, the readers of harper will &St turn to
"Our Mutual Friend," by Charles Dickens, the
Most imprmsive, because the most genial of modern
authors. There are three new chapters, and In
these the tale makes some little advance. 'Dolan
and his wife conic out "strong" and favorably.
There is a wedding at Mr. Veneering's, which Is a
mutual take-in, and very adroitly managed. Above
all, the mutual friend turns up., The new portion of
Dickens' story is not quite in his best manner, but
still is very good:
Harper's Magazine has reached as from T. B. Pe
terson, and also from 3. B. Lippincott, who, we
doubt not, will be pleased to sell any number of co
pies to the patient public.
Here let ns add, that the Harpers have added
"Denis Duval," with the author's latest portrait
and other engravings, to their admirable Library of
Select 'Novels. In that same collection they have
Included "Cousin Phillis," a story from the Cornhill .
Magazine, which they affiliate on Miss Thaekeray.
The index to the ninth volume of the magazine do
dares, however, that Mr. Gasket' wrote "Cousin
Plains," and we said so a month ago. If our excel
lent friends, the Harpers, would read The Press
with laudable persistence and attention, they could
not have committed the error of a.bsorlbing to Anna
Thackeray a tale written by 'dr. Gasket'. .
N. P. Willis on the heath of Gen. George
P. Norris.
The last number of the Home Journal contains the
following letter from Mr. Willis to Mr. Hollister on
the death of their late partner :
DEAR HOLLISTER: I had intended in this number
of the Dome Journal to give an account of the fune
ral of our beloved old friend ; but one of those ner
vous headaches to which I am periodically a vial&
followed my return from the cemetery at Cold
Spring; and, besides, I looked at the subject a little
more seriously. It Is to be remembered that Ijoined
forces with Morris in 1830, and that we have had a
friendship without dispute or difference, from that
time to his grave. Here are thirty-four years of
literary friendships which he and I have enjoyed
together, (including those with Halle* .and Theo
dore Fay, Edgar Poe and Rufus Dawes, Fanny. Fo
rrester and Edith May, and so on through an almost
unnumbered cons to l lation,) and of which the itbluing
Is not to be done so hastily. .I must have both time
and a set of nerves free from pain. Pardon me if I,
therefore, defer it.
Ono word before closing. Morris' funeral, pass
ingly as it has oacurred amid our turmoil of events,
and reconciled as we were to his final relief from
suffering, was not tearlessly witnessed. To most of
us who wore present it was a parting with one who
for a long life, was, bluntly but infallibly, good. Of
his loyalty in an act of friendship, of his truthful-'
ness in a matter of business, or of his tender-heart
edness in a matter of charity, there could never be
question. He was always sincere, affectionate, ge
a -
nerou appreciative °tether men and modest in him
self. I seldom have mon •so intrinsically worthy
a man—so free from any possibility of Human fall
ing—as this souse song-writer who is gone.
We did not think, you and I, while "celebrating
the Fourth," by the , brook at Idiewild, a few days
since, that our senior brother, even then, prepared
for his departure. Bat it was remarked by his doc
tor that on that day his vital powers seemed fatally
to give way, and he sank to sleep wills the happy
peacefulness of a child. As heslay in hts coffin in
the church, his face had resumed all its nobleness,
all its calmness, and it, was in harmony with that
list of pall-bearers—the apostolic heads.of Bryant
and Professorßartlett General Dix and Genera!
Sandford, Professor Weir and Govornour IComblo,
showing of what metal they were cast; and it was
by these "bright spirits" that he was recognized and
beloved. His mantle, my dear boy, has now deseond
ed upon you. Be content, sometimes, (as ho did,) to
wear it without me! Your ailing brother,

Mr Man Sat: In regard to the stories which
you report to me of destitution and suffering among

I am happy to state that they have really no founda

testify that as late as the last of last week the con
dition of the inmates of the hospitals in Nashville
was as good as at any time since the war began,
and such ae to render any special anxiety or special

The United States steamer Dttilleyßuck arrived'
at New York on Wednesday night. She brings late
advices from Charleston. The correspondent of the
New York Herald at Stono river, S. 0., gives a
resume of operations in the vicinity of' ClutriestOn,
from which we take the following:
On Friday evening, July lst,.an expedition under
command of General Foster, left Hilton Head on
an expedition to the North Edisto. The force was
quite respectable in numberAthe exact figures are
not given), and occupied, w tilt , their supplies,
twenty transports.
The fleet arrived off the bar at the mouth of the
North Edisto river at. about, two o'clock Saturday
Morning. The night was quite dark, and some dint;
clay was occasioned in finding the buoys. Captain
liontelle, of the coast survey steamer Vixen, who
knows every mile of this coast by thirty years' ex
perience, had gone in to pilot a naval vessel, and
it was not of sufficient importance to warrant
any great risk, the transports did not' go in till the
high tide alter daylight. On reaching the ancho
rage inside a portion of the troops were at once dis
embarked at Seabrook Island, at a pier built, when'.
the lamented. General Stevenson occupied the point
over a year ago. The remains of his camp wore
there, and the troops who first landed soon had'
shelters front the sun constructed, (toffee tires going,-
and everything' very comfortable.
Colonel W. W. H. Davis, as soon as It was practi
cable, was sent forward to occupy a point on John's
Island, just over Hanlover crock, known as the
Sugar Mill. He marched across Seabrook Island,
past the plantationformerly owned by the younger
Seabrook, formerly one of the finest 'tithe country,
with large and elegant buildings, splendid grounds,
flowers In profusion noble shade trees, rare shrubs,
and broad acres. The whole estate is now in bad
condition, the buildings dilapidated, the fields un
titled, the gardens grown up with weeds, and only
the shade trees to admire. Colonel Davis encoun
tered none of the enemy on Seabrook Island ; but
on arriving at a broken-down bridge across Han
lover creek, leading to the estate of the elder Sea
brook, on John's Island, the rebel cavalry pickets
were seen. This point was occupied last winter by
a force under General Ames, and entrenchments
ivere thrown up along the hanks of the creek. On
the ruins of the old Seabrook mansion the rebels
were eating their breakfast, and their horses were
picketed In the shade of a large live oak. On the
approach of our forces the rebels mounted and foil
back across a field and meadow to the woods with
grattprecipitancy. Our advance crossed the bridge,
when the enemy came back with their reserve ; but
finding our force too large for them, after exchanging
a few shots, they again fled.
On Sunday afternoon Gen. Hatch moved about
three miles farther up, and encamped there for the
night. On the morning. of Monday, the 4th, be
moved again to a plantation about three miles front
Legareville, where a bridge crossed a creek on his
left. The morning was intensely hot, with scarcely
a breath of air In motion. The march was along
dusty roads with no shade, but lined with bushes
high enough to deprive the soldiers of the slight
breeze that did blow. The veteran troops endured
the march well, but the new men, unaccustomed to
the sultry climate, were completely exhausted.
Hundreds fell down, overpowered by the ann. One
or two were fatally sunstrucki but the majority wore
taken up in ambulances and recovered. Other
movements were made, which are reported by the
correspondents to be "not proper to describe.'
==!
On John's Island, on the left bank of Stonoriver,
a couple of miles or so above Legareville, on ground
occupied by Gen. Wright's forces at the time of
Gen. Benham's expedition, is Fort Pringle, a rebel
work of considerable strength ; and they have
another battery on the James Island side, while fur
ther up, on John's Island, is Pemberton. On the
morning of the Fourth when our gunboats, at a
signal, run up their holiday decorations of signal
flags and bunting, Fort Pringle opened on them
very spitefully. The first shell exploded between
the Pawnee and the MoDonough, which were lying
very near together. The latter and a mortar
schooner replied vigorously, pitching many shells
into the enemy's works. - The monitors Lehigh and
Montauk, lying opposite Pringle, near the James
Island shore, also engaged the fort, and the firing
has been kept up, with occasional Intermissions,
ever since. We have had no casualties during all
this fighting.
On Saturday morning, the 2d, as a co-operative
movement, Gen. Schimmellinnig, commanding the
district of Morris and Folly Islands, crosses! over-to .
James Island from Folly, with a part of his force,
and drove in the rebel.ptckets after a skirmish. The
troops were then formed into column and advanced
towards an old battery, not until recently occupied.
The 33d S. Colored Infantry and the 1031 New
York were placed in the advance. When they , ar
rived very near tho fort tho reheis opened with two
brass field pieces, with canister, creating considera
ble havoc and causing some confusion. The SSth
Massachusetts had been formed in line for the pur
pose of charging on the fort, and as soon ns the lire
had been drawn they advanced . , at double-qulok.
Theta was a delicate duty to perform, for they
had to charge through retreating white and black
troops, in the face of a murderous tire. Bht.
they never flinched. The rebel firowas..euite - eighi
and nearly all who were wounded were hlt In the
bend. With a shout and the intrepidity of veterans
they rushed over the parapet, driving the rebel
forces before them into the woods, and capturing the
two guns. As this was the first time this regiment
was ever under a hot fire, their conduct was espe
cially praiseworthy. They have nobly sustained the
reputation won for the Massachusetts colored troops
by the 54. th at Wagner and Olustee. This position
was held about a day, when Gen. Schiminelfinnig
fell back about a mile and a half, with his two cap
tured guns, - and entrenched. The reason of the
falling back was that the position was an incon
venient one to hold, and was no more a4vantageous
than the one now occupied. Gen. Schimmelftrinly,
has since been joined by Gen. Birney and hie force.
.~ ..
On Saturday night the 127th Now York, Colonel
Gurney, and the 62d Pennsylvania, Colonel H. M.
Hoyt, all under command of Colonel Gurney, were
ordered to cross the water from Morris Island, and
endeavor to surprise Fort Johnson. They went
over in boats, but the tide was not tavorable on ar
riving at the beach, and a portion of the boats got
aground on a small bar. Colonel Hoyt and Lieu
tenant Colonel Cunningham, with a division of
their regiment, succeeded in landing, and surprised
Battery Simpkins, an outwork of Fort Johnson;'
but by the accident, not being supported, it was
useless to attempt Fort. Johnson with its garrison of
several hundred men. The whole party ashore was
captured. It numbered ono hundred and thirty
seven men and the following officers: Colonel H. 14L:
Hoyt, Lieutenant Colonel Ctuaninghem, Captain
Treat B. Camp, First Lieutenants .1 antes Cr. Stevens,
Silas A. Bunyan, and Thomas F. Evans..
At the time of the attack none of the guns of Fort
Johnson were aimed towards the beach, but they have
since been moved so as to point in that direction.
FLORIDA NEWS-A TORPEDO PLOT
There is no - important wax news from Florida.
The Fourth was celebrated at St. Augustine by
salutes, ringing of bells, displays of flags, and an
oration by District Attorney Chamberlin. A dinner
at Bufflngton , s Hotel concluded the exercises. A
party went down from Jacksonville on the Alice
Price, arriving there on Sunday evening and re
turning on Tuesday.
On the night of the Fourth the rebels planted a
lot of torpedoes in the St. John's river, doubtless
with reference to the Alice Price excursionists.
But they happened to return at low tide, and live
of the torpedoes wore plainly visible. Two of them
were fished up, under the direction of Captain .Tones
and the pilot, Mr. Charles Mason. They were
conical in shape, and the largest yet picked up in
that river. The gunboat Ottawa attended to the
rest. There were sonic twenty passengers on board
the Price, but not ono displayed any fright. •
Colvin's& Erletison on the Monitors.
Captain Ericsson has written the following corn
munication concerning the (lessor Iron-clads known
ns monitors, "in reply to numerous communica
tions received from loyal and distiuguished citizens
residing in different sections of the Union on the
Subject of the monitor Iron-clads
"It is not true that largo sums have been wasted
in experiments; on the • contrary, no previous trial
whatever of the new system was instituted. The
original Monitor went into action under a positive
guarantee of succets, and the entire fleet of the
Passaic class of monitors wont directly from the
builder's yard under the enemy's batteries—a cir-
CUMitB.IICO without a parallel in the history of
naval' engineering. It was reserved for the United
States to introduce successfully, during a great na
tional crisis, a now system of naval attack and
defence without expending a single dollar on ex
perments.
isnpt true that the national exchequer has
been depleted by the inordinate expenses attending
the construction of the iron-clads. The contract
price for each of the ten monitors of the Passaic
class was $400,000, to which was added 520,000 for
improvements and additions; thus the amount ex
pended for the first fleet of ten vessels was only $4,-
00,0 W. The twapcenn monitors, Dictator and Pu
ritan, will cost, with improvements and additions,
*3,600000. 'The cost of each of the nine vessels of
the 'I ecumseh class may reach '4s47,ooo—together
$6,130,000.
' , The total expenditure for the entire fleet of
twenty-one monitor iron-plads enumerated, will
thus amount to very little over $12,000,000. A oar- -
thin European naval power has expended on ex
periments connected with ordnance a .far greater
sum than this. IThe twenty light draught turret
vessels now in course of construction may cost,
with improvements and alterations, under the
present enhanced price of labor and materials,
$500,000. apiece. The whole fleet of forty-one
turreted iron-clads will thus call for an expendi
ture of 822,000,000, a suns amounting to only one
per cent. of the aggregate cost of the present war.
Probably but few Americans are aware- of this
important fact. Abroad, however, the thing is well
understood. There are cool heads on the other side
of the Atlantic, who have estimated the oempars.
Lively small cost of our iron-clads, and who know
.that the United States could, without the least
straining of resources, intrease the present impreg
nable fleet to any desirable extent. These cool heads
deem bands.ofl the' best policy toward a nation
which, while carrying on the most extensive war
known, has created an enormous fleet of wooden
vessels, besides constructing an iron-clad navy,
which has already demanded more, than one hun
dred thousand tons of malleable iron.
N. P. Wxr.Lts
It Is not true that the monitors have proved unsea
worthy. Every trial made at sea has disproved the
early Impressions that the overhang of the side armor
was objectionable. This overhang has been found
to check the apprehended rolling of these vessels so
completely, that some of the commanders of the
monitors report that the rolling motion is scarcely
greater than that produced by pitching. The sup
posed weakness at the junction of overhang and
body in the smaller-vessels has boon thoroughly dis
proved, while In the ocean monitors this junction
nas boon so formed that itestrength cannot even ho
questioned. .Commodore Sohn Rodgers reported to
rho Secretary of the Nam after the early trials of
the monitors, that If the deck openings could be
made tight nothing enzharm this class of veasels at
sea. -Experience has, la the meantime, shown how
to make these openings perfectly tight. It may be
freely admitted that. I f the deolc hatches are left'
open In rough water, as was the case with the Wee
hawken, the sinking of the vessel becomes inevita
ble; but it, may ho Insisted on that this fact does
not disprove the perfect seaworthinessof a monitor.
‘ 4 .1.t is not true that monitors cannot fight their
guns at sea. They aro in reality the. only class of
iron-clads capable of making effect:lp use of their
armament in a sea-way, from the fact that they can
train their entire battery over the bow, and thereby
fire with great accuracy at times, when the Eu
ropean Iron-clads, owing to that admitted excessive
roiling, cannot use their guns . . The assertion that
It Is net sale to open the pedlr amonitor-turret in

for preventing the Sea froaentering the portholes;

PfLonntans. OF POOTWITANT ilioNwS.—On the
271 h, the Monks of this city (Norwich) rondo a pil
grimage to the celebrated well of St. Walstan, at
Bitty burgh; 'whose waters arc supposed to have won
derful properties. As this wet! has boon the scene of
many such pilgrithiesi and la' likely again to bo a
t,o
spof interest, it will be proper to state that it is
situated in the little village of-Bawburgh, or Ba
bur, about four Miles front Notwieb, and a shortills
lance from Taverimm. The wail Is about three feet
in illinieter, and about the aturicrin depth, situated
infari orchard"; it is' lined with flint stones, and be
tween these stones'a Most peculiar kind of moss Is
fotind, which, though black in appearance when
gathered, soon turnsto a beautiful green color. The
Imes is suppoted to possess curative properties of no
ordinaryitind, and maufeountrypobple still believe
tbat the - meter of the well Is eilleaolous in many
diseases. 'To this place the monks wended their way
in grand procession, as to the shrine of one of their
chief saints: The' " brethren," with!. the whole of
their " regalia " in a cabc left Norwich quietly
until the city was . some distance' behind , them,
tua4.l44lek t having robed themselves •ln gorgeous
vistmenftrun acolyte bearing- an 'immense brass
crots, proceeded singing hyMns to their destination.
Refire each village church prayers were said, and
by the time they reached the village or Babur their
numbers had increased to about seventy Individuals,
and the procession had an imposing -appearance.
Beneath • a gorgeous canopy Father Ignatius, who
way clothed in a gold and white satin cope, and cur
rounded' by the " brethren " of the 'Order, bearing
a - !'eat variety of banners, and followed by three
litife children, bearing the banner of the Guardian
Angel, :proceeded to the holy well, where. with
wattles borning, censers swinging, and amid fumes
of-iincense, the superior sang aloud, "Wo praise

STATX BALL AT I.BeettlitellANt PALACE.—By
couLnand of the Queen, a State ball was given on
thedOth, at Buckingham Palace, to which a party
of between 1,700 and 1.500 was invited. The Prince
and PrinceSs of Wales, accompanied by the Prince
and Princess Louis of Hesse, the Princess Helena,
the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Mary, and
the :Duke of .oambridge, conducted by Viscount
Sydney, the Lord Chamberlain, and attended by

Princeand Princess of Wales entered the ball-room
the daiaeing commenced.
PARK:IAN Ts. PLWRIAN.—The aristocracy of
England aro hot altogether exempt from the humili
ation,. which 'beset meaner mortals, as witness the
following ales' from recent police recortls 14 Lon
don:.
At a police office In London, on the 22d of June,
a butler in the service of the Dowager Lady Abin
ger w'as brought before the sitting magistrate for
having assaulted Ler son, Lord Abingor. The
latter- had been out dining, and on his return
homsOume words ensued between the peer and
the huge,' Which resulted in the latter smashing
hislordship's mese.. Lore were, in fact, two tights
between thili'ple - beian and the patrician, is both
ofithiell,tho.fdriner seems to have been the . vic
tor. Another man servant, at the first oncounter,
tried to separate them, and succeeded. The scone
of the first fight was the entrance hall, after which
the butler went down stairs. At this stnge of the
proceedings his lordship retired to the drawing
room, desiring that the pollee, might be sent, for,
upon hearing which the butler rushed upon his
lord again. "Did you see any marks of vielente
upon his lordshipl'w said the magistrate to the
Second servant. "Yes, your worship," was the
reply, "his nose was cut, and there was blood upon
his shirt." The strangest part of the business was
the declaration of the police officer, that, in his
opinion, both the belligerents were sober. Ulti
mately the irate butler was remanded, to afford his
lord and muster an opportunity of appearing against
hint.
In another case at the same court, Lord Robert
Clinton was fined 103., and Si. tki. costs, for allowing
himself to be drawn'hy his servant, In a Bath chair,
in Ovingtou Square, Broil:1140n. It appears that
the people in the district of Kensington liars a spe
cial act of Parliament to protect themselves from
perambulating nuisances on the footwalks, and it
would seem that they value their privilege so highly
es to enforce the law against all offenders, whether
gentle or simple.
nix PRUSSIAN ORDER OF LOM6E.—SOI2IO foreign
journals have remarked, within the last few days, on
her Majesty having worn the decoration of this
Order upon a recent state occasion. We believe that
.the very existence of such an Order Is scarcely
known fn England,_and we therefore give a sketch
of its history from bit' Bernard Burke's ‘• Book - of
Orders :" "This Order was - founded on the 2d Au
gust, 1814, and is a decoration for services rendered
by women in the hospitals, and otherwise, to the
wounded and sick military in the war .of 1513 and
NM The badge is a small gold cross with black
enamel. The middle of both sides is enamelled sky
blue, and contains on tho obverse the letter L, with
a wreath of stars round it, and on the reverse the
cyphers 1618 and 1814. The order is worn upon the
lilt breast, suspended by the white ribbon of the
Iron Cross, and fastened by a bow. It was pre
sented equally to single or married females, Prus
sians by birth or naturalization. The number was
limited to 100. The chapter was composed of four
ladies—the Co toss Arnim, the wives of Buguslow
sky and of Weer (merchants), and, finally. of the
widow of the statuary Eben—under the presidency
of the Queen.) ,
ABD , EL-XADEII.--A letter from Alexandria, of the
19th, says: "The reception of Abd-el-Kader, by the
Masonic Lodge of the Pyramids, took place yester
day evening. All that I am permitted to say on.
the subjeot is that the ceremony was a great so-.
lemnity, and that the welcome given to the Emir
was most flattering. Abd-el-Kader, on his arrival.
in the city, alighted at the Stranger's Palace, which,
was placed at his disposal by the Viceroy. All the:
movements of the Emir excite great interest, and
when he goes out he is followed by a crowd curious.
to contemplate the defender of Arab nationality.
Soon after he reached Alexandria, he received. a.
visit from M. Tastu, tho French Consul General.
A long conversation took place on tho subject of
Yemen, where the Emir has been residing ter tho
last eighteen months, and on the Emperor Napo
leon, towards whom he expressed the strongest feel
ings of gratitnde . He leaves to-mbrrow for Bey
rout, whence ho is to proceed to Damascus."
FORGED BILLS IN FILANCE.—The Paris Tribunal
of. Commerce has decided that the acceptor, of a
forged bill of exchange is bound to pay it to a. bona
fide endorsee. Messrs. Baring Brotucrs, of London,
lately received from Havana a .bill purporting to
be drawn by Mal. La Cruz & Co. upon DIAL. Fould
& Co., of Paris, to the order of M. Carlos Medina.
The payee requested the Messrs. Baring to discount
the bill and remit the proceeds In gold, to Mr.
Pitcher, of New York. Messrs. Baring, having
first got the bill accepted by Messrs. Fould & CO.,
sent the rum of 2 sovereigns to New York as
directed. Before the bill came to maturity MM..
Fould S: Co. discovered that the drawerasignature
was a forgery, and on that ground refucd , to pay it.
Thereupon, Messrs. Baring brought their action.
The court held that Messrs. Baring had , insen guilty
Of no inches, that the acceptance Of Messrs. ,Fould
was to a sufficient guarantee of the authenti
city Of the bill, and that it did not now lie in the
mouth of MM. Fould to say that it was a forgery as
against Messrs. Baring. A decree .for payment of
principal, interest, and costs was tam:encore made.
LIBEL.—On the 25th ult. the Bloidngham Daily
Post was found guilty of libel in theltail Court, be
fore Mr. Justice Mellor. It may be remembered
that a young man belonging to. Birmingham was
some time since captured by the Federate at Califor
nia, on a charge of Joining a Confederate privateer
frig expedition, but was set at liberty by President
Lincoln on the Intercession of Mr. Bright, M. P. for
the town. The Birmingham Daly Post, in comment
ing on the case, used some expressions ..which were
interpreted by this family at home to mean that a
brother residing In Birmingham had taken aportion
of the other brother's money.;. and though the
. paper
repeatedly disclaimed the interpretation, the parties
brought an action for libel.. Theproprietor paidilve
guineas into court. Tho,jury returned a verdict of
forty shillings damages. In. the Court of Common
Pleas Mr. Brea:triage, lIL P.; obtained a verdiot,
damages £3OO, against thoproprietors of the Western
lbr libel. . •
—Among the engagmneuts which have elgnallzed,
operations in the Algerian Sahara, one of the mosb,

Bet when the - repast, which wits of military brevi
ty, was finished, he drew zoo 'aside - into AI smoking
room or study attached to the ilpartteent. In a few
words he informed me [hit it tviis possible he might'
be sent to the East as Grand Duke of Athens. Tills
project may have never existed except in his own
brain ; it may have been entertained in high quar
ters. France had good reason' to desire tbe displace
ment of King Otho, who had bddn inimical to her
during tho Crimean war.
"The Marshal asked me if,' in' case this should
happen, I was willing to accompany him. I replied
in the riMrinatlve, for I believed, and still believe,
that there is much to hope for the Greek nation. All
depends on energetic leadership. Ito dismissed me
with a brusque familiarity which teal; not destitute

'I availed myself but sparingly Of his cordial in

I recollect being much annoyed by the harshness
with which he repulsed some officers who solicited
his protection. He did not humanize himself with'
all the world. The story Is In every onus mouth of
the extra diplomatic conversations With which he
enlivened more recently his embassy to London. I
know that he wept bitter tears at tho time of the'
eampaign in Daly. For, the first time while he
lived Franco had selected another to bear her ban
ners on to victory."
Madeleine Smith, whose trial on a charge of
poisoning her lover at Glasgow several years ago,
resulted in a Scottish verdict of " Prot Proven," of
fell into obscurity, and has recently died.
The following paragraph,' now running the rounds
of the English press, has a melancholy interest
"After the trial her father and mother, and the
other members of the family, took up a house in a
rural distrietnear Linlithgow, whore Madeleine
married to a teacher, who felt a tender passion for
herself and pity for her condition. He got an ap
pointment in an institution in one of the leading
seaport towns in the south of England. Thither
Madeleine and her husband proceeded, and for a
time seemed to be in the enjoyment of connu
bial felicity. But it oozed out that she was no
less a personage than Madeleine Smith, and the
scandal became so strong that the husband was com
pelled to learn his situation. They then proceeded
to a smaller town in England, where, at a much
reduced salary, Madeleine's husband got another
situation. But here, too, her sin found her out, and
her husband fell into a melancholy mood and died.
Madeleine .NVOS not long in following her spouse,
and died recently, it is Bald, of a broken heart."
The Paris correspondent of the independence
Beige relates a touching episode which transpired at
the Exposition of Fine Arts and Industry at Angers.
In Order Ito draw strangers they got up a splendid
cavalcade, representing the entry of Francis I. Into
Angers. A wealthy young man had been selected
to personate le Pere des Lctfres; who acted the part 1
to a marvel. The streets were crowded with stran
gem, who thronged from the remotest part of la
`Vendee.. As the cortege filed past, and the crowd
cheered the masquerade, a peasant woman sprang
forward: and threw herself upon her knees before
the horse of the Ring, who stopped short.
"What do you wish, my good woman
"Ah! mon brave sire,' replied the woman who
took the pageant in earnest, " I desire a pension."
"I grant it to you. said the Ring, "and here is
the firstquarter," giving the poor woman a bill for
a hundred francs. Since then she has continued to
receive her pension. Her condition is entirely as
sured, andslie naively believes that she lives under
the beneficent reign of Francis I.
Dr. T., who is a materialist, showed one -of his
friends a surgical instrument ornamented with a
handle carved in bone.
" , By the by, ,, said he, "do you know what this
handl° Is'made
"Of ivory, parb/eau" ,
"No, you are wrong there," said the DoCtor, with
tears In his voice. " Thai handle is She thigh Lone of
my poor ountft,
Many parsons are seen in Paris carrying canes
whose head serves as a bonbonnier, which Is filled
with refreshing sugarplums to be offered to ladles.
This is an attempt to revive an old custom. Canes
were first used in the reign of Henry 11. They
were made with a crow's beak for the head, in
'order to. afford support to the hand. Those wore
soon superseded by a hollow ball, which some-
times- con Mined nutmegs or ginger, to warm the
stomachs of valetudinarians; at others, candled
sugar- for. asthmatics. When tobacco came into
general use among people of fashion, this- little
cavity was destined es a receptacle for it ; and when
two Meade met, niter exchanging the courtesies of
the day, they unscrewed the heads of their canes
and made amntual proffer of the preelims weed.
The Sietle mentions a decided novelty in the
Style , of. serving the dessert of a..Parlsian dinner.
No dinner Is complete without foliage. The table
Is transformed into a parterre or pleasant fruit
garden, where each guest plucks the luscious fruits
from the overhanging boughs and creeping vines—
peaches,
,oherries, grapes, according to his taste.
Thodessort surpfed Is an indispensable requisite of
a grand dinner. It is very charming and terribly
expensive. Thanks to this costly Innovation, the
restaurateurs will hereafter require but two years
Instead of.feur to make their fortunes.
The faror raised by the Shakspeare or Victor
lingo has vanished like smoke. The enthusiasts
have exhausted their rhapsodies, and M. Lacquerie
has, for. tlle forty-firth tinto,.given It an editorial no
tice. The critics have showa their teeth, this time,
and every one agrees that Victor Hugo has crossed
the Rubicon which separates tiro sublime from the
ridiculous. •
One personage is utterly ignored in this burlesque
epic+ ; that is Gcethe. The author omits to place him
among the men of genius. Do you wish to know
why 'E Bead the conversations of Gcetho and Eel:er
n:ann, and you will find there en estimate of Notre
Dante da Paris that Victor. Hugo has neither forgot
ten nor forgiven. It Is quite evident that Faust no
longsr exists for him. It is thus that Titans wage
war.

—One of those prodigies that Naturals occasion

house of a farmer, Gleur Castel. A hen had been
wasting away for several days, and - the'ownar'was
on the point of hitting for fear of losing her, when,
lo and behold I she laid, not her accustomed egg,
but a membranous pouch, enclosing a little dog
perfectly alined. This phenomenon was put In spi

—A. Criminal case is on trial at Bologno,whichqui to
surpasses that of la Poinmerais in the chapters of
horror. It is an association of a hundred and rive
malefactors, who hare committed all sorts of robbe
ries and crimes. Lest they might rise en masse and
overpower the court, the precaution was taken
.to
have them all locked securely in a great iron cage
which has been constructed in the Hall of Assizes.
Being thus restricted from violent demonstrations,
they are forced to content themselves with gross
abuse and vituperation.

As will beaesn by the quotations, gold had a se
rious tumble during the day. Military successes,
in conjunction with a system of gradual contraction
on the part of the Treasury, will, it is hoped, Boon
tell upon the gold market. The speculators are
evidently in fear of the Secretary's movements,
es foreboding to them, some serious calamity.
Therefore he is watched closely, and they would:
bail with delight any evidence that he intends to
continue the policy of Mr. Chase. That policy,
whatever may be said of its virtues, failed to keep
the gold speculators in check, or keep down the ad
vancing.promium. Mr. Fessenden is clothed with.
almost unlimited power by recent acts of Congress,
and he can no doubt succeed in giving force to
whatever views of policy be may hold. The State
banks,with wham 3lr.Chas e always appeared Where
some trouble, arc comingup to the assistance of Mr.
Fessenden. Be has asked them for a loan of fifty.
millions, which they will no doubt grant, and they
ask in return that the State banks be made the•
positorles ofthe public money, as the National banks
are.
That the Secretary of the Treasury has power: to
Asko solvent specie-paying banks such depositories
is evident from the act of Congress of August 5,
IS6I, entitled “An act supplementary to an actenti
tied an act to authorize a national loan, and for
otherparposes.” In chapter 46,.seetion 6, we•find
the authority In these words : "And be it further
enacted, that the provisions of the act entitled an
act to provide, for the better of•ganization. of the
Treasury, and for. the collection, safe keeping, and
transfer and disbursements of the public). rerentte,
passed August 6,1846, be, and the same arehereby,
suspended, so far as to allow the Secretary, of the
Treasury to deposit any of the moneys obtained on
any or the loans now authorized by law,.tollmcro
dit.of the Treasurer of the United States, in such
solvent specie-paying banks as he may select and
the said moneys, so deposited, may be withdrawn
from such deposit for deposit with the-regular au

dues, or paid In the redemytion of the -notes-oath s °.
rized to be issued under this act, or the act to which
this is supplementary, payable on domand,,as may
seem expedient-to or be directed by the Secretary of
:the Treasury. 3,
The propositien r the banks am Fillingto. agree to
