Pence Kapoleon at Ajaccio.

The Paris papers publish the following :-
4, AJACCIO, May 15.
" The inauguration of the monument erected to the
memory of Napoleon I. and of his brother's has just taken
place, amid the greatest enthusiasm, and in presence of an
immense multitude. All the authorities of the depart-
ment, all the land troops, and sailors from the ships were
present. The Montebello, ship of the line, the frigate La
Gloire, and the corvette Jerome Napoleon, at anchor in
front of the spot selected for the inauguration, fired salvoes
of artillery. Prince Napoleon made a long speech, often
interrupted by loud applause. He drew an eloquent bio-
graphical sketch of the Bonaparte family. He passed an
eulogistic review upon the life and the acts of Napoleon 1.,
and finally traced a programme of liberal policy. After the
troops had marched past, and the deputations from the
communal districts had been received, the Prince distributed
a certain number of decorations. The Prefect, the Procu-
rour-General, M. Charles Abbatucci, and the Mayor of
Ajaccio have been appointed Officers of the Legion of
Honour ; M. Gavini, Deputy, and some others have been
appointed Knights of the same Order.

" The agricultural and industrial display has been most
successful. The prizes will be awarded to-morrow. On
the 17th there will be races and a grand banquet. Prince
Napoleon will then leave for Bastia."

Prince Napoleon's speech fills thirteen columns of
La Presse. He concluded as follows :
"France has never been ungrateful towards her hero ; she
proclaimed him, and the rights of the Napoleons have always
had their source in the votes of the French people ; no
other name has been hailed for 50 years when the people
were called upon unanimously to choose a chief. Those
are our title-deeds, and I own it with legitimate pride.
Tho great shadow of Napoleon hovers over France ; it pro-
tects his successors. The organisation of Democracy is the
problem of the future ; on all sides aristocracies are falling—
the good ones as well as the bad ones—in Poland as in the
United States; it is reserved to France, to the great nation,
to resolve that necessity of the future, because she is always
the initiative nation on account of her past acts as well as
of her genius. Hai() I allowed myself to be carried too
far by my deep emotion ? Could it be otherwise, speaking
of Napoleon and of his brothers in this spot under such
circumstances ? For many years my mind has been tor-
mented by those false interpretations of Napoleon which
some draw, who can only see in him the agent of a reaction
of frightened interests, of petty passions to be satisfied,
while he is the initiator of all grand ideas and of progress.
That is his true tradition.
" Corsicans ! we must understand each other. We enter-

ain the same hope, the same faith in the triumph of those
- -

inseparable principles—the nationalities, the greatness of
our country—liberty ! My task is done, if, like me, you
are convinced that The mission of Napoleon was to achieve
emancipation through the dictatorship."

WEDGWOOD'S DOMESTIC HAPPINESS.—Here and
there we get passing glimpses into the home of peace
and industry which Mr. Wedgwood had the supreme hap-
piness to call his. They aro most delightful—small but
Funny pictures of scenes and things long passed away, but
bearing on them the stamp of
governing refinement, which,
growing and increasing, was preparing for the day of higher
things. "I have just begun a course of experiments for a
white body and glaze which promises well hitherto," writes
Mr. Wedgwood to his brother John, March 6, 1765. " Sally
is my chief helpmate in this as well as other things, do that
fire,as the phrase is, I have ordd. the spinning wheel into
theshe Lmuamybneort be
room. Sheby haveing too many Irons in the
hath learnt my characters, least to
write them, but can scarcely read them at present—This
business I often think if you could but once enter into the
spirit of it, would be the prettiest employment for you
imaginable. Ido not intend to make this ware at Burs-
lem, and am therefore laying out for an agreeable and con-
venient situation elsewhere." In this we have the first
hint of Mr. Wedgwood's intention to remove from Burslem
and establish his works on a larger and more permanent
footing.—Meteyard's Lift of Wedgwood.
FRIGHTFUL FALL FRO3I THE TOWER OF WHITE-
CHAPEL CHURClL—Yesterday, as some workmen were en-
gaged in repairing the tower of *the church of St. Mary
Whitechapol, one of them in stepping from a ladder to the
scaffold, incautiously placed his foot upon a loose plank,
which instantlytilted, and he was precipitated to the ground
from a height of 30 feet. The unfortunate man was picked
up insensible, and bleeding profusely. Ho was immediately
removed to the London Hospital, but having his head
fractured, besides having sustained severe injury to the
spine, not the slightest hope is entertained of his recovery.
Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets during the last few days have been rather
less animated. Sugars have been in moderate re-
quest and at steady prices, while superior descrip-
tions of coffee have been more inquired for, and in
some instances enhanced rates have been current.
Rice and cocoa have fully supported former prices,
but tea has been neglected. Tallow hasbeen dealt in
to an average extent, without any material change
as regards value.
