ARRIVAL OF TIIE CITY OF BOSTON.

The Inman steamship City of Boston, from New
York on the morning of the 9th inst., arrived at

297 passengers and $130,170 in specie. She landed
56 passengers and proceeded at 5 a.m. for Liver-
pool. All well.

THE PRINCESS MD-RAT.
NEUFCHATEL, AUG. 29.

Princess Anna Murat has almost entirely re-
covered from the effects of the late accident.
Countess Montebello and Madlle. Bonvet are pro-
gressing very satisfactorily. Dr. Nelaton left Neuf-
chatel on the 27th, considering that his presence was
no longer necessary. The Empress will probably
return to Paris on Thursday.
President Shecnk, in the name of the Federal
Council, has requested the French Ambassador at
Berne to express to his Majesty their great regret
at the unfortunate event which cast a gloom over
his journey.

HAMBURG.
HAMBURG, AUG. 28.

General Von Manteuffel arrived here yesterday.
He will visit the authorities and proceed to Kiel to-
day.

FRANCE.
THE EMPEROR IN SWITZERLAND.
BERNE, Aug. 27.

Intelligence from Neuenburg states that the
sufferers by the recent accident are mostly in a fair
way of recovery. The worst injury appears to have
been sustained by the footman, who, it is said, may
possibly have to submit to amputation. The coach-
man, also, is more seriously hurt than was at first
supposed. It is gratifying, on the other hand, to
find that the statement of General Fleury having
broken a leg is not confirmed.

The Emperor left the day before yesterday at
9 a.m. for Fontainebleau, leaving the Empress at
Neuenburg for a few days, at her own request, to
look after the injured ladies. The deputation from
the Bernese State Council was received by his
Majesty immediately before his departure. The
Emperor thanked, through their medium, the in-
habitants of Neuenburg for their kind reception
under such painful circumstances. It is said that
the well-known Swiss Colonel Denzler accompa-
nied the Emperor to Fontainebleau.
An accident of the same distressing character as
that upon the Matterhorn occurred in the Swiss
Alps on Wednesday last. A Herr Hopfner from
Dresden attempted the ascent of the Ditlis at
Engelberg with a guide, when both unfortunately
perished. The bodies were recovered the evening
before last and brought into Engelberg.

A telegraphic despatch from Brest states that the
French squadron left that port early this morning
for Plymouth. The Reine Hortense, having on
board the Minister of Marine, accompanied the
squadron.
Two Arab convicts effected their escape from the
bagne of Toulon on the 14th inst., and, notwith-
standing all the efforts of the police, have not yet
been captured. The Bedouins who are prisoners at
Toulon persist in maintaining that their fortunate
companions have taken their flight on the hippogriff
of the Prophet.
The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the
following as the atmospheric situation yesterday
—" The gale which we signalised on Saturday
as existing in the north of England and Norway
is raging this morning in the Baltic with a vio-
lence which is very rarely experienced at this
season of the year. The tempest is violent from
the W.S.W. at Libau ; this morning it snowed
at Helsingfors ; on Saturday evening the wind
was violent at Stockholm. The barometer has
fallen to 740 millimetres at Haparanda (Gulf of
Bothnia). To-day the pressures are still strong
over France. At Paris, however, the barometer
is falling slowly and the sky is becoming covered
with clouds from the W.S.W.' It appears therefore
that in the Channel at least the winds, N.E. this
morning, will before long blow from the IV." In
Paris yesterday the weather was exceedingly fine.
At 3 in the afternoon the thermometer marked 25k
cent. (78 Fah.)

The Courier du Bas-Rhin has received the sub-
joined note from the mairie of Strasburg :—" After
the death of a native of this city, who has just ex-
pired from an attack at Bonn, the inhabitants of
that place, by a spontaneous movement, organised
the funeral cortege of the unfortunate Ott, and an
imposing procession rendered the last honours to the
deceased. The mayor of Strasburg has written to
the burgomaster of Bonn to offer the expression of
his gratitude for the manifestation of sympathy."

Another instance of the extortionate demands
made on the relatives of persons who happen to die
in furnished hotels has just been brought before the
Imperial Court of Paris, on appeal from a judgment
of the Civil Tribunal. In 1864, Count Del Aguila
Rosario, of Seville, then suffering from pulmonary
phthisis, was brought to Paris by his family in the
hope of obtaining relief through the means of the
eminent physicians of the capital. The family took
up their abode in a richly furnished apartment, in
the hotel No. 12, Boulevard Malesherbes, kept by
M. and Mme. Pelloux, the rent of which was I,loofr.
per month. Notwithstanding all that science could
do, the Count died there in September last, and his
body, having been embalmed, was sent to Spain to
be interred in the family tomb. The Countess and
family then prepared to return home, and had paid
all their bills, when 31, Pelloux refused to allow
their effects to be removed unless a large sum were
paid as compensation for damage done to the fur-
niture and for loss of custom occasioned by the
death of the Count in the hotel. The Countess, in
her affliction, being anxious to avoid all litigation,
at last consented to pay 2,400 f., but feeling that
she had paid far more than she ought, and that
500 f. would have been ample compensation to the
hotel-keepers, she subsequently commenced pro-
ceedings to recover 1,900 f., as unduly paid. The
Tribunal, considering that 500 f. was a sufficient in-
demnity, gave a judgment condemning the defendants
to return 1,900 f. to the plaintiff. Against that deci-
sion the former now appealed, and pleaded that the
sum they had received did not cover their losses.
They alleged that the furniture in one room was so
soiled that it was indispensable to have it newly
upholstered at a cost of 618 f. ; that the damage
done to the bedding and the decorations of the
chamber during the process of embalming by the
arsenical process amounted to 650 fr. ; that the ac-
count for breakage was 3351 r., and that, owing to
the time necessary for the repairs, they had lost a
month's rent of 1,1001 r., making a total of 2,7931 r.,
whereas they had consented to accept 2,400 fr. The
counsel for the countess proved that the above items
were extravagant, and maintained that the 500 fr.
were a sufficient indemnity. The Court, taking that
view of the case, confirmed the judgment, and con-
demned the appellants to pay all costs.
BOURSE, Aug. 28.—Two o'clock.—The good dis-
position manifested on Saturday continues to-day ;
the opening takes place under the most favourable
auspices. Stocks and Shares have, it is true, slightly
retrograded on the highest prices, in consequence of
hasty realisations of profit, but the good feeling of
the market remains the same. Threes, for the Ac=
count, after being done at 68f. 70c., are now quoted
68f. 62ic., with an advance of 10c. Italian Fives
are particularly demanded at 66f. 71c., with an adz
vance of 20c. This Stock has been quoted as high
as 66f. 15c. Credit Mobilier have risen 7f. 50c.—
to 812 f. 50c. after doing 815 f. Spanish Mobiliers
are at 507 f. 50c., with a bother advance of 8L 75c,
