'The result of the late popular election in France
makes it certain that the decision of the French
f eople is in favor, by am overwhelming majority of
the new dynasty, and Lonis Napoleon ascendsthe
Imperial Throne of France, the second Emperor
i* (act but tbe third in none, under tbe title of
Napoleon the Third. Napoleon Bonaparte >vas
the first of this dynasty, having assumed the Im
perial purple in 1804, and was crowned by Pope
Pius 7th, in Notre-Dame, on Sunday, the 2d of
December, (804. The eon of the miafated alli
ance between Napoleon and the house of Austria,
never ascended the throne of France, having been
taken into the custody of his maternal relations,
after the downfall of bis father. What was his
fate, and w i at the exact period of his death, is in
volved in obscurity. Many vague and strange re
ports have been circulated with respect to his se
vere and cruel confinement on the confines of
Austris, and it is eYen asserted by some that he
came to bis death by violence, his enen its fearing
that in the revolutions of time, France might, if
sheeould not "call on the chief of her choice,"
atlmst call upon his son to lead her on the bright
and fiery path of his father's glory. He is gone,
and though the breath of suspicion sometimes
whispers thst the linesl descendant of Napoleon
still fills his place and tbe throneof France, all we
know is that Tbe grand-son of Josephine, of her
whom it bss been said, "she was tbe stsr of Napo
leon's destiny," now, by the acclamations of eight
millions of votes, (we cannot say freemen) na
nnroes the purple of that throne made illustrious
by <he prodigy of the 18th century.
This is the end we have foreseen for France
since the incipioncy of her revolution in 1848.
We have never believed her citizens cspable of
appreciating, far less of putting in effective opera
tion the great principles of free Republican gov
ernment. The habits, the manners, and the na
tional peculiarities of her citizens, their volatile
and fickle disposition, an.labove all their want of
training iu tbe great principlea of self-government;
hav; long since convinced us, that her assump
tions of Republican Government were but as
sumptions, and that it only wanted some master
spirit "to ride in the whirlwind and direct the
atorm," to guide her devioua course back into the
inmost recesses of the harbor of despotism,
whence she bad embarked. Such a spirit hss
been found, for tbe present at least, in the person
of tbe nephew of her magic-idol, how long he will
prove himself adequate lo tbe task which he has
assumed, is a problem which time alone can solve,
though we frankly confess tbst be has, thus far,
manifested more decided marks of "enduring abil
ity" than we bad arpposed him capable of exhibit
What is to be tfce ultimate destiny ot the French
people isjs moie difficult problem still. They are
most clearly not prtgtarej far aelf-gov cmmpnt DOW.
will tlieyever become so, and if they do, what is
jo be their training?
While a cardinal principle of our free institu
tions declares nil men by nature free and equal,
yet it must tie admitted by all, that we never find
men in a state of Ha tare. They are fall more, or
less tue creatures and the (laves of society, and
bence, before a great principle like this can be ex
pected to act practically, it becomes necessary to
purify as. it were, society, and to re-teach as it
were, its members. How is this to be done in
France? Our freedom came as the natural result
at priaeiplea which had been openly acting for
centuries. The same principles which worked our
independence, bad manifested themselves in the
damps of the Saxons long ere Utey entered Eng
land, had acted at Runnymede, had deposed kings
when they had proved unworthy the trust reposed
in them> had decapitated Charles and banished
James, had crossed the main with our Pilgrim
fathers and taken deep root on the rocks of Ply
mouth.nndthe sands of Jamestown, had flourished
aad dwelt among us, had gathered firmness from
oontinued oppression; and when in 1T76 our fath
ers raised the flag of freedom, it was not to pro
aUiin but re-aArm the principles of our fatherland,
and iuttie language of the Siecle, (a Paris paper)
they "displaced only the authority! which ruled
them, the enfranchisement of domination." France
can point to no such principle in her past history.
'All is dark aud gloomy; a history cf bondage and
tyranny. She needs schooling, she needs enlight
enment, , liar masses must be taught what free
dom is ere they proclaim it, and as we had occa
sion long since to say, "her revolutions have pro
ceeded rather from the perception of wrong than
the appreciation of right," and until some means
shall be devised for educating her masses in the
practical workings of the principles of freedom,
we muoh feat, that she u ill continue to present to
(be world by tthe melancholy example of the com
et's course, splendid but erratic still.

Death of the Coonteaa of Lcrrelmoe.
This lady?"sole daughter" of tbe poet Lord B*_

countrymen through the impaa?ione?l, janguage
adftreaaqft to her bj her father, m sotne of hb'
fint.it poema, eipired on (Saturday, the *27th of Noi
?ember, after a li?feringjli?e?a of more thlin iwelve
months duration, at the townreaMence ofher noble
tuabartd in Great Cumberlaijd^laoB^ 8be waa
Jborn in 1616, andj like her illitttrioua parent, died
before completing her 3701 year. Writing to Mr.
Murray from Venice, Feb. 2, 1818, Byron aaya?"1
have a great love for little Ada, and I look forward
to Jjerjujl pillar of my old age; should 1 ever reach
that deaolate pencil? which T hope not." Froin
Bologna, 7th June, 1819, he again i. rites?"I have
Rothexd ofmy-litlle Ada, the-Eleotra of my Ma
ceiuertroUhefti willitiomo ajdi^ofreckonfnfe. even
if 1 ahould not live to see it." From Ravenna, 8th
October, 1820?"If you turn oyer the pages of the
Huntingdon peerage oaae, you will learn how com

I found it in my own pedigree in the reigns of John
and Hertiy. Pisa, "th Nov., 1821?"I hove to
acknowledge the receipt of a lock of Ada's hair,
which is soft and pretty, and nearly as dark as mine
was at twelve."
O n the 3th of July. 1836, the poet'slaughter was
united to Lord King, subsequently (in 1838( created
Earl of Lovelace, a connection by which the line
age of John Locke wasblended With that of Byron
Muoh of the interest which attaches to the daugh
ters of Milton and Shakespeare was felt in the de
ceased lady, wherever the English language is spo'
ken, ard to a large circle of private friends her
death will be a source of sincere sorrow. Highly
gifted, and endowed with a large share of her fath
er's temperament, she delighted in intellectual as
well was as benevolent and kindly pursuits, rne of
her most intimate and prized confidents having
been for many yearsthat intelligent judge'of female
excellence, Mrs. Jameson. To that lady's pen we
shouid refer the public for a true appreciation of
her character.
Relative Force of Indigenous and Foreign
Population.
The official returns of the late census exhibit n
state of things different from what was supposed
to exist in Tegaid to the relative proportions be
tween citizens of the United States of foreign and
of domestic birth. Of the free inhabitants of the
United States 17,736,792are natives of its toil, and
2,210,828 were born iu foreign countries?the na
tivity of 39,227 not being ascertained. -Of the
whele number 1,966,548 are residents of the free,
and 246,810 of the slave States. It will be seen
that the parsons of foreign birth, form 11-06 per cent
of the whole free population. The countries from
wi.icb the largest portion are derived, are as fol
lows:?
Natives of iTelandlgg Nat. of Scotland TO.WO
inU S I860 do. France 64,069
Nat ofGarSnr (7T3.22G do. Wi'es 29.963
do. ' England 273,075 All Other count rica 35,022
do. Britiih America 147,100 i wo 828
The proportion in which the several countries
above named have contributed to the aggregate
immigrant population, is shown in the subjoined
statement:?
Ireland 43-4 per cent. Scotland 3.17 percent.
'Jermanr 26-9 per cent. France 2-4-1 per cent.
England ? IB ?per cent. Wale* 1.34 percent,
llritirh America 6 68percent. Miftcellane'a 4-47p?rcent.
This view of the living immigrant population is
important, as serving to correct many extravagent
notions concerning it, which Lave atl&iu&d exten
sive currency.
Solid Gas.?Murdock first used gas to light up
his office atRedrath in 1792. "It would," says
Liebig, "be one of the greatest discoveries of the
age, if any one could succeed in condensing coal
gas into a white, diy, solid, odorless substance;
portable, and caple of being placed on u candle
stick or burned in a lamp." Already is the de ire
of Liebig bein^ accomplished. A mineral oil flow
ed out of coal in Derbyshire, obviously produced
by 8low distillation from the coal. On examination
it has been ascertained that paraffine, a solid waxy
substance, hitherto never produced from coal, could
be formed in commercial qualities by a slow and
regular distillation. This is condensed coal gas?
a sol id form of olefiant gas desired by Liebig. In
forming cake, this product, dissolved in an oil of a
similar composition, may be readily obtained instead
of the water gasses now thrown away. Should
this discovery be as successful as it promises, agTeat
change will be wrought to fuel as well as illumi
nating gas.
Gem. Washington's Religious Views.?Quite a
spirited controversy is going on through the col
umns of the Madison (Ind.) Courier, between the
Rev. Dr. Claxton of the Episcopal, and Rev. F.
T. Brown of the Presbyterian church, as to wheth
er W ashington was an Episcopalian or a Presbyte
rian. Mr. Brown admits that Washington was a
member of the Church of England, but never asso
ciated himself with the Episcopal church after the
soparation, while Dr. Claxton contends that the
Church of England and the Episcopal church were
one and the same thing. The ground of the Pres
byterian claim, we believe, is, that Washington
sometimes communed in churches of that denom
ination.
Gsk. Pisrcs'a Caeinkt.?The Buffalo Commer
cial Advertiser of Friday has the following:
"We are enabled to state, upon the authority of
a gentleman who had recently paid a visit to the
President elect, at his residence in Co: cord, that
the new Cabinet aa to be selected, and all the pre
litninaiy arrangements for the organization of the
incoming Administration definitely made, before
Gen. Pierce leaves his home for the seat of the
General Government, in Februaiy next "

Looisviu-k, Deo. 17.?A dispatch from Memphis
states that the Western World was run into and
sunk by the H. R. W. Hill, near Hurricane Island,
and turned bottom upward. She is a total ldss.
Several lives were lost. The steamer Moro G&slle
was sunk near the same placc. Particulars not yet
known.
Cuba.?The Carleston Mercury, the organ of the
Southern rUht party, in South Carolina, has a long
and well pat argument against the annexation of
the Island of Cuba. It thinks the United States, as
a confederacy, ought, on every grotind of public
policy, to shrink from the acquisition of Cuba by
war. .

Australian Gold.
Here is a further and more* comprehensive ac
count of the gold yield of Australia, than we have
yet given: y
Advices have been received in Englaii 1 from
Australia, to the first weaken- September, which
con firm prior information aaio the abundant yield
of fjold. The quantity produced exceeds that cf
California in the mostprol&e period, having reach
ed ?400,000 (or two millions of dollars) per week
for several weeks in succession. .
The ascertained yield of the Melbourne Mines
to the 31st July, amounted to 53 tons weight, or in
exact Federal to 825,312,300; and at the Sydney
Miues, 812,000,000. A further sum of $5,000,000
is set down to Adelaide, Sftuth Australia, though
taken thence, for the most part, by miners from
the Melbourne District! The aggregate therefore
stands thus:
At Melbourne 53 Ions $25,312,800
?Sydney 26 tons 12,600.000
Adelaide 11 tons 5.000,000
Grand total 90'tons $42,812,800
The total shipments to London alone, to the
21st of August, amounted to $26,722,720; to all
points, $34,278,000; leaving a vast umount of
treasure awaiting an opportunity in consequence
of the scarcity of sailors to man the vessels.
O'The Providence Journal offers the following
sensible advice to manufacturers, but it is applica
ble to all classes engaged in business,' and it is
worthy of careful consideration:
The best thing for the manufacturers is to rankc
the best of the present favorable state of business
to draw themselves into as close qijarters as possi
ble, to apply their profits to the payment of their
debts, and not to be tempted into the folly of ex
tending themselves beyond their present prospects
of payment. Ttyey are dependent for their tem
porary prosperity altogether upon tlie manufactu
ring and commercial prosperity of Great Britain;
they are at the mercy of the foreign market; and
they will liav?.better cause of repentance if they
forget that dependence, and act as though the pres
ent high price of goods was the legitimate result of
American business.
Now i3 the tiitte to prepare for the coming storm.
The country owfes ai. enormous debt to Great Brit
ain. Railroad iron?wl ich could as well have
been made at home?is almost the only substantial
representative that we have to show for this debt.
The rest have been consumed. When the foreign
creditors, fr*.m sudden alarm, which comes in bu
siness matters, no one knows whence, or from com
mercial depression, or stringency in the money mar
ket at home, call for their pay, there will be hard
times bere. Investments made here under prtsent
prices will not pay the debts thatthey create; prop
erty will be sacrificed, and fortunes lost, and gocd
men ruined.'1 Now is the time to prepare.
Success of the Caloric Engine.
The New^ York Courier of yesterday morning
says;
The Caloric Engine on board the propeller ship
Ericson, isjin motion, and so far works well. It
was not rhe iuU-ntiou ofMr. Ericsson to put this
engine in motion until two weeks hence; but so
great has been the interest manifested bv the pub
lic, concerning its success rr isilure, that, although
all things were not in readiness, he lighted the fires
at 12 M.- yesterdsy, and in an hour and a half, the
engine was in operation, and the wheels of the
ship revolved with greater velocity than even the
inventor had expected,, on the first trial. Mr.
Ericsson will work his engine during a portion of
to-day,after which the fires will be extinguished,
and the ship machinery entirely finished before she
makerf her trial trip. The entire success of thfe
first attempt to turn the wheels of a ship by the
Caloric Engine cannot fail to giruj satisfaction to
all who are interrested in the progress of science,
and the mechanic arts, and who is there among us
who does not feel gratified by this great triumph of
inventive; genius?
? That the.Caloric Engine will, if we do all that
Is claimed for it, and since yesterday's operations
we&ee no reason for doubting that it will create an
entire revolution in motive power for machinery,
cannot be doubted?ane the extent of the advanta
ges which must flow from i*s adoption, can neither
be easily imagined or described.
Of the principle of the Caloric Engine we have
before spoken, though not as minutely as we
could have desired. As we have not yet had an
opportunity of examining it, we will not attempt a
full description, until such opportunity is afforded.
Binning of the Henry Clay.
The appalling calamity of the burning of the
Henry Clay on the Hudson, last summer which
caused the loss of 70 or 80 lives, appears to have
been fraught with blessings to, at least, one of the
passengers, who thus writes, in a letter to a friend,
as published in the Presbyterian:
"1 have not been indifferent to the claims of reli
gion; but you- will cease to wonder at my late
course when I tell you that, under the effect of
that solemn and terrible sermon preached to me,
last summer, upon the Hudson, by the voice of
God, in gratitude for so mighty a deiiverance, and
breathing, as it were, the very air of eternity, I cast
myself upon my knees on thesand,aud pouring out
my soul in thankfulness, dedicated myself io him
who stood in majesty before me. How could I
do otherwise? Surrounded by the dead and dying,
delivered by the special act of Providence from a
a destruction, whioh a moment before claimed me
for its victim; with a full vision of judgment ar.d
eternity?and my past life passing, scene by scene,
before me?how could I do otherwise? And how*
can I forget my deliverance and my promise? I thank
God for the terrors of that hour, and will cany the
recollection of it and of his gTaciousncss into eter
nity with me. Christ died to redeem, and God in
terposed between me and death, bearing me above
the flame and the wave, that he might not die in
vain. How merciful to me, so unworthy!"
Thbkatkioed Disruption in tjie Church of Eng
land.?It :is stated by theLdndon WeekiyrI)is-.
patch tbstfein consequence of the determination of
the Crow ii not to allow Convocation to ait f jr the
dispatch of business? the leaders of the High Church
party, at a recent meeting, have resolved to secedp
from the Establishment, and connect themselves
with the Episcopal Church of Scotland, which,
while in all main points it agree with the Church
of England, adds to its service an acknowledgment
of something very like- the Roman Catholic doc
trine of Tran substantiation and regulates its own
affairs by synods. of Bishops, and clergy. The
Right Hon. W. if. Gladstone, one of ihe> leaders of
the movement, has taken the first step. 1
KXAn effort is being made in Texss to snip Ihe

THE OBSBQCJIB8 OF THE DUKE OF
WELLINGTON. ^
The London Dsily News thus fltacribes the
icene "intended," the News ^ays, ?<tobc ihe ob
sequies cf a Christian warrior;" but "ss fatal in
its consequences as aalndian suttee, and as demo
ralizing as an Engljtib execution." "^he News

"On teaching the gate which terjninatesQueen'a

tion can give but a fyil'idea. -^The dense crowd,
which have moved slowly along Sloan street, had
now become a solii^ mass, waving slowly, back
wards and forwards, arflMSperfect Babel of shouts,
groans and execrations; but evidently not making
the sHghlfct progfess-loward- WfpRTO'obJcbT*
The police regutai jo nspirovided that persona should
ap^r&ch 1/ the avenue, and alfout a Boson of the
force were placed at interval* .aeross the-othere to
prevent ajtnjoach in ;that direction; but the force
was so<iuiCuluusly small that ev&y 'fiv'e minutes
cr so they v ere swept along by fresh masses of the
people, nnd the sufferings of the unfortunate-who
were hopelessly jammed jp in front were propor
tiouably aggravated. In one place, a man was seen
crashed against tho railing, vomiting blood, while
liis neighbors found it i tipoasible to give him room;
in another, a cry was raised that a woman was be
ing tramp|ed to death. The truth of the last ex
claimation was soon verified by the appearance of
a police stretcher, carried by four men, upon which
lay the lifeless body of a female, whose clothes had
been ,almost torn from her back in the terrible
struggle for existence. Rumorsof toe most alarm
ing character soon spread in evcfydireclion. Atone
time, it was said that eight, and at another that
eleven females bad fallen victima to the pressure.
Cabs flying suddenly away were said tb.contain
men.with dislocated spines aud internal hurts of
various kinds. Those who, jammed up in the avenue
and more immediate neighborhood of the'covered
Way, stilt kept their legs, realized all the horrors of
tho Black Hole uf Calcutta. Tho steam rose from
them as^frtaa the hold of a cattle-ship, and their
coimtenanoes exhibited all thesymptoina which the
crush was preduciug ou different constitutions.
Some wtie almost purple with incipient apoplexy,
while others were ghastly pale; but every face ex
hibited the extremt-sof alarm and physical distress.
"While all this sceue of horror was being enact
ed, the police seemed to act without order or design,
and were hopelessly tossed backwards and forwards
through the crowd, w hich was quite unmanageable
by their ridiculously limited numbers. It has
been alleged of them that, having no planof opera
tions to guide them, they used their truncheons in
discriminately about them; but during two or three
hours that we remained there, we certainly saw no
foundation f r'the charge. They seemed as much
bewildered ?nd at a loss as the helpless crowd by
which they were turrou nded and almost engulphed;
Towards the latter part of the day, what with ti.e
thousands who turned back terrified and disap
pointed, and the arrival of reinforcement of mili
tary and police,something lite order was procured;
and those who had patience to wait obtained sight
of the funeral pageant. While all this pressure and
confusion, all this struggle and suffering were going
on at the threshold of the/uneral chamber, the out
skirts presented all the appearance of a country
fair. The public houses were full to theiroof, and
numberless large placards on the fronts of thehouses
invited the pul lie in, to see the ladies of 1,000 lbs.
weight, wonderful dwarfs aud cosmorainic views of
Walmer Castle. Thimble-rig flourished at every
corner, and incredible fortunes in uuts were offer
ed to whoever would try their powers as marksman
at the well known little painted target. No one
would have guessed at the sclemn cause of all this
gathering, had it not been for the long line of
vehicles filled with respectable people, clad in
mourning, who, unconsciousof what was going on
in the front, watted patiently for their tum of ad
mission. These, however, gradually thinned, as a
succession of individual with torn con Li staggard
pointing out of the crowd, and announced that after
three hours hard struggling they had given up all
hopes of admission and were glad to escape with
their lives.
"It would be difficult to exaggerate the public in
dignation and excitement upon this melancholy oc
casion. Every one say that tho people had been
insulted and neglected, and that those who paid
for the show could not see it, while every precau
tion had been provided for the safely and comfort
of Uie.aristooratic friends of the authorities. The
Government and the police came in for their share
of censure, and even the sacred name of the dead
was lipt spared as the unconscious cause of all this
slaughter, terror aud confusion. Some said that
"the Duke was never so much wanted as at his
own funeral," alluding to the want of that law ond
order for which his late Grace was so remarkable;
and others drew a contrast between the present
scene ami the private funeral of Sir Robert Peel,
very much in favor of the latter. At a period of
the day, we were informed that only two females
had actually lost their lives, although many were
seriously hurt; but the general impression was that
the result was greatly understated. Oil inquiry at
Scotland yard, yesterday, we found the statement
confirmed and were informed that arrangements
were being made for the presence of ait imposing
force this day, when it is to be hoped that the
dreadful scenes of Saturday will not be repeated."
Tirr Heal ARrsrooaACV or Amkkica.?The last
number of the Edinburg Review, in a highly com
mendatory review of the "Life and Letters of Jo
seph Story." pays the following tribute to Jthe A
mericau Bar:
The Virginian planter used to boast, it was said,
of his resemblance in character and position to an
ancient Roman. But when the United Stales are
seeking for a flattering parallel with Rome, we
would advise them to placc it in the decided voca
tion of their citizens to the sciences of Government
and Law. It may be a question whether Europe is
not permnture in reproaching America with living
on a borrowed literature. But supposing the
charge to be well founded in Ihe case of poetry
and metaphysics, (and we perceive Story writes to
his son, i '1 am tired, as well as as yourself, of the
endless imitations by American poets, ofthe forms,
and figures, and topics of the British poetry. It ia
time we had something of our own,") the very op
posite is the fact in regard to Jurisprudence, The
profession of the Law constitutes its real aristocr
racy, the aristocracy of character and talent.
A Mother's DzsrERATio.v?The Albany Knick
erbocker mentions the case of a woman who was
seen by Officer A. C. Smith, about 11 o'clock,
Wednesday night, to place a bundle on a stoop
near the iwrner of Diveslon and Liberty streets;
Albany. Suspecting something wrong, he pursu
ed the woman, wbc fled back to the spot where
she had placed the bundle, and picked it up. It
contained an infant! On enquiring the reason of
her conduct, she informed the officer that she was
miserably poor, her husband was a drunkard, and
she could not support her child. Mr. S. proposed
that she should go to the Station House, but she
begged, in teats, that this might not be?that she
had nevcrbegged, and never been under arrest, and
hoped she might not be. The officer could not re
sist the appeals of ofthe heart-broken mother and
let her depart. How few know the misery that
surrounds them.
A HAtir..?One of the carpenter at work in the
building on Main street, lately occupied by Messrs.
Curtis & Co., bankers, made quite a haul the other
day. In tearing up the floor, he found $13,000 in
banknotes. The carpentor handed the money
over to Mr. Curtis, who, after examination, said be
had no claim to it, and handed it back to the lucky
finder. It is a pity that only 8120 were in current
funds; the ballance consisted of notes on Ibroken
banksof Mississippi and other States, which were
doubtless current when placed there. Messrs.
Curlis& Co. had been occupants ofthe honse for
many years, and it is believed that the money must
hare been put there pnor.?LouirviUe Jour.
Death at Prate*.?The Philadelphia Bulletin
says that on Sunday afternoon, Thomas Gould,
aged 67 years, was worshipping in the Baptist
Church, corner of Aahton and Lombard streets,
and was kneeling at prayer, when he fell over and
expired. A coronor*s jury returned a veTdict of
death from natural causes.
