The Paris correspondent of the lirussels Indf-
pendonee writes:—" I can state upon authority that the Bud-
der departure of Ur. Hume, the spirit rapper, woe in obe-
dience to en order from the Emperor. The Emmets
was no much affected that her august consort dreaded the
continuance of the diebolical scenes. The ladies of honour
were not ken excited then their sovereign. They
could eprok of nothing but So redoubtable con-
joror. The Emptier made • wise revolution in the
household, and the poor devil, who, though playing the part
of a personage with 40,0001. ft year, wee really penniless--has
left for the country of the rapier.. A few days ago the
Emperor met the learned phynicLut. M. Becquerel, and re-
marked, ' I want to consult you upon what I sew that
trickster do; ' and his Majesty then told how Mr. Home
had made • table tun round without touching it, and
nutted ft to be struck by animism% hand as many times an he
liked. The Emperor received from the ian the very
natural reply, ' Sire, I can my nothing upon facts which I
have not witneered.' "
