declared his intention to follow his example. !Ile
trembling Rittmeister offered him his papers' .and
everything back, if he would but leave quiet) I..—
but it was his %turn now to play the inexora 6131 e,
and to diminish Austrian obstinacy. He certr daily
went much farther than the Apostle of the 4 .en-
tiles, for he told the supplicating officer, that ". the
matter was out of his hands, and must be settled
between the Austrian empire and his country` !"
And thus, for the present, ends the affair beta re ten
the Rittmeister HERR VON FALKENHAYN, of Pe le-
gyhaza; and the Rev. JAMES COOK, Anglo-Catlto lic
Presbyter, Richmond, U.S.
FRANCIS JOSEPH knows all about it by f his
time. Oh, could he but get some fifty million
dollars to spare, and would he not bring 11/. Er.
COOK and General PIERCE to their senses. 11 fis
first thought, no doubt, is of ROTHSCHILD. Unfc 'r-
tunately ROTHSCHILD'S last thought is of bankru pt
exchequers. No ; nothing is left him but to ia
poverish his own subjects yet more, to augrau nt
his present and destroy his future income, or to
make his amende honowrable to the Great America n
citizen. Could a HA.PSEITR.G but open his eye s,
or find some one to open them, he might see in a
moment the utter rottenness and weakness of a m
empire which trembles before a tourist clergyma en
from the other side of the Atlantic. Well na; Iy
it alternately shake at the thought of a Europe m
war, and cower before the CZAR, when it drew .ds
an American presbyter ; and rather " eat hum] )1e
pie" to the American President than receive; a
visit from his navy at Trieste.
It occurred to us, too, 'that Mr. Coox mix
carry home some useful lessons to his countrym e n.
He proclaims that the Austrian Government ms tat
learn that " there is an important difference I .e-
-tween their subjects--exposed without remedy to
all their whims—and a freeman of the. Unit' 3sal
States." • No doubt there is. But there is aat ill
more important difference between Austrian an b-
jects and' the non-freeman of the United State s.
One greatly, indeed, to the advantage of the ft T-
mer. Austria founds her distinctions on locality-
America, on the colour of the skin. The form .er
makes Italians and Hungarians politically slay( ;
the latter makes all but white men slaves, b All
personaily and politically. Austria compels her
subjects to submit to many governmental whi ns,
it is true, and to much worse than whims ; ;but
America compels millions of hers to submit to the
unrestrained tyranny, cruelty, lust, or avarice of
every individual who can afford a few hundi •ed
dollars ; and to submit, as Mr. Coox s< a ys,
" without remedy." In Austria, there is no F'a gi-
tive Slave Law. In America, the PRESID2 :NT
glories in one as the bulwark of the Union. In
Austria, gendarmes hunt suspected travellers in
America, Tont LOK.F.RS and bloodhounds hunt the
negro, who has the whim of preferring freedor 11 to
slavery. As Mr. COOK observes, " there has a
difference." -

NAPOLEON THE THIRD.

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

TO THE MOST NOBLE THE MARQUIS OF
LONDONDERRY.
MY LORD, —Although personally a total stranger
to your Lordship, I take the liberty of addressing
this letter to you, in consequence of the high and
chivalrous character which you have ever displayed
in.. your intercourse with the subject of it. In
essaying to sketch the extraordinary personage who
now occupies the throne of France, I hope to dispel
some of the prejudices respecting him which re-
peated Misrepresentations not unnaturally produce.
It seems to me, at a moment such as this, the
paramount duty of every well-wisher to England
to bind closely the union between countries which
nature, when she made them neighbours, clearly
showed she meant to be friends. That the Em-
peror of the French should be the object of
much criticism, perhaps also the victim of seine
obloquy, however undeserved, is so much in the
order of things that it is scarcely to be wondered at.
Perhaps, indeed, it would be strange if it were
otherwise.
If it be the lot of every one, elevated ever so
little above the multitude, to be pursued by envy
as it were by a shadow, how should he escape
whom such mighty combinations are interested in
depreciating ? Why should he look for an exemp-
tion who has transcended other men so signally ?
He, who, despite of persecution, imprisonment,
and exile, silencing the factions and baffling
the statesmanship of France, has seated him-
self on, our own alone excepted, the proudest
and most powerful throne in Europe It is I in-
deed, a stupendous and bewildering achievemant,
recalling, if not rivalling, those which made his
mighty ancestor immortal, and yet—as your Lord-
ship must remember well—it was the fashion fer a
time to consider this very man almost an imbecile !
It is positively a fact, and so established, too, that
I myself shared the appellation for presuming to
controvert it. Napoleon Louis an imbecile ! aye,
in the eyes of those who worship only success, and
can see no genius unless verified by events. They
are not, and they were not, my criterion. To int),
at this moment, Prosperity displays him not More
brightly than when at Strasburgh, demanding to
share the fate of his companions, or immures in
Him, over his essay on pktuperisrn, endeavoqing
to mitigate the fate of the unfortunate. Times p,nd
things, however, are altered now. The waiter on
events are all converted, and X no longer am alone.
There is an amusing incident illustrative of this.
During his abode in London, a lady of high I ton
was somewhat fastidious respecting his presenta-
tion. Alas ! when had Fashion a smile for the ;un-
fortunate ? Being, however, lately reminded of
her mistake, she at once admitted it—" But (said
she), good heavens ! how was I to guess that he
ever could have risen to such greatness ?" Philo-
sophers tell us that extremes meet. surely ; Al-
mack's and the 'Mob met here ! But such is the
world, high and low. The " stricken deer" is
doomed to solitude. However, even in solitude
and at the worst, Napoleon saw his future in the
perspective. I have written proof that in the almost
hopelessness of captivity, even when the day was
darkest, he never doubted of his fortune. Some as-
sert he is a fatalist, and believes in destiny—ot iers
say a speech of his uncle stamped the presentiment
on his tender mind. As he was preparing
to depart for Waterloo, the boy in tears exclaimed
repeatedly —" Dear Uncle, don't go to the Wars,
or if you, must, take me along with you." " Em-
brace Louis (said Napoleon to a Marshal), embrace
Louis—he is, perhaps, the hope of my race." WaS not
this a prophecy ? Be that as it may, howeveT, it
sank deep into the soul of its object. It inspired
sentiments worthy of his destiny. After the affair
of Strasburgh, when even hope seemed to have fled,
his only petition was; that he might be tried with
his associates. "As they shared my fortune (said
he) let me share their fate." It' was otherwise! de-
creed, and he was deported to America. Scaccely
had he landed when the intelligence of his mother's
illness reached him. "I am about (said her letter)
to undergo an operation absolutely necessary.
Should it not succeed, by this letter I send you my
blessing. We shall meet again—we shall meet in
a better world. Believe me, in quitting this, I
have nothing to regret except you and your tender
affection, which alone has given it any charms." He
lost not a moment. He retraced the Atlantic, and
his filial piety was mournfully but soothingly re-
warded. He was just in time to smooth; the
death-bed and receive the blessing of the best of
mothers. There are few incidents in private life
more affecting than those which hallowed the last
moments of " the good Queen Hortense." Those
who deny a heart to Napoleon Louis can have !none
themselves if they peruse the record of that ionic)
without a tear. The bereaved. survivor was scene
at his loss. He lost sight of a World
where he saw all was vanity. Even ambi-
tion lay inurnod in the tomb of her he
loved. In the Castle of Arenemberg he might
have passed his days, cultivating the litera-
ture to which he was devoted. But a doomed
fatuity interposed. The Government of France
demanded his expulsion from Switzerland. Is there
not a fate in nations, as in individuals ? Thus, as
is said, Cromwell was refused a solitude in Anierica
by those from whom he wrung the protectorate of
England I The Diet nobly spurned the derhand.
They had witnessed the virtues and sufferings of
their guest. They revolted against such a violation
of the rights of hospitality. Iti a striking fact, that
,it was upon' the On of the fist Napoleon's! most
favoured and most 'faithful Marshal that the duty
of making this demand devolved. The Duke de
Montebello, the heir of .the braie Lann.es, was
the then ambassador to the - Swiss confederation.
Such are the harlequinades of revolution.l No
doubt the duty was distasteful ; but it was Still a
duty, no doubt, also reluctantly undertaken. The
generous mountaineers - felt they had a duty too,
and they prepared for its performance. France
collected an army on the Jura—the Swiss had
20,000 men in arms. War was imminent. It was
averted by the voluntary self-sacrifice of Napoleon.
" Switzerland (he writes to the Government of
Thurgau) has done her duty as an independent
nation. I know how to do mine, and to remain
faithful to the 'void-6' of honour. They may perse-
cute, but never degrade me. The French Govern-
ment having declared that the refusal of the Diet
to yield to its demands would be the signal of a
convulsion of which Switzerland would become the
victim, I have no alternative but to quit a country
when my presence is made the cause of such unjust
pretensions, and would be the excuse for such great
misfortunes." Thus, influenced by a sense of hon-
our, he abandoned an asylum which never would
have surrendered. him. But even this noble self-
ostraeism was not sufficient. It was sedulously
circulated that he had given a pledge to remain in
America for ten years, and that he had broken it.
It was thus that slander essayed to neutralise an
act of heroism. Those who whispered it knew it
was not true. The pledge had been sought indeed
—sought from himself—sought again through the
intervention of his mother—but sought in vain
from both—a tardy truth at last admitted by the
law officer of the Crown, in 1840, in the Court of
Peers. After the affair of Strasburg, he made no de-
mand save to be treated exactly like his comrades.
This was refused, and without choice or condition,
he was deported to America. The vile invention,
however, had its day, like many another as current
and as groundless.
Forlorn, but self-sustained, Napoleon turned
from Switzerland to England—.Eugand, the exile's
universal refuge—sthe home of the unfortunate of
every rank and every country—of royalist and
republican-Bourbon and Bonaparte—Metternich
and Kossuth—Orleans and Louis Blanc ! '
It was during this visit in 1839 I fornied an
acquaintance with the present Emperor—an event
in one's life not to be forgotten. I was introduced
to him by his uncle Joseph, the ex-king of Naples
and of Spain, a man of the kindliest nature thfi
world ever saw. Madame Junot calls him well and
truly, "the good Joseph," and be was wise and
gracious as well as good. With such an introduc-
tion, opportunities were not wanting for study-
ing the character of Napoleon Louis—a species
of study to which much of my time has been
necessarily devoted. The problem was difficult ;
for a long time its solution seemed impossible.
Frigidly affable and repulsively polite, he avoided
either offence or familiarity, but seemed instinc-
tively to coil up his nature from observation. In
phrase and demeanour all that became his birth,
still the man was perfectly inaccessible. It was
scarcely to be wondered at. Even from his boy=
hood beset by espionnage, reserve became an
armour. Scarcely at home in the household
of his uncle,, the object of homage as much as
of rospect, he stood isolated and original.
None presumed to interrupt his reveries, and to
few, if indeed to any, did he accord his confidence.
Yet even through that habitual reserve there would
at times gleam forth indications of a character re-
plete with kindness, and of a disposition generous
and noble. There was much of peculiarity--much
of contrast—abstracted yet vigilant—inquisitive in
every thing, but studiously incommunicative—dili-
gent in acquiring all men's knowledge, retentive
of his own—cold and impassive, but full of latent
energy—cautious in decision, but once in action,
prompt, rapid, and impetuous—almost intuitive
in grasping opportunity or detecting weak-
ness—improved by study, steeled by adversity,
disciplined for every vicissitude of fortune—he has
inestimable qualifications for his high position
Nor in private life is he at all deficient in command-
ing respect or captivating sympathy—of the most
winning manners when minded to assume them ;
perfectly munificent by nature and by habit ; chi-
valrous, sincere, constant—of him, my Lord,

At a meeting of the shareholders in Great Pol-.
gooth Mine, held this day, the report of the com-
mittee of management was read and adopted. The
balance in favour of the mine was stated to' be
4,0571. Os. sd. The captain's report was considered
satisfactory, and the remarks made by the purser,
whO was present, showed the prospects of the mine
to be promising.
At the meeting of the Australian Consols Land
and Mining Company's proprietors to-day, Mr.
Guedalla in the chair, a committee of shareholders
has been formed to require a balance-sheet from
the Directors, and to ascertain more fully the exact
position of the company. Many shareholders ex-
pressed a high opinion of the property, but posses-
sion does-not appear to have been yet obtained.
The St. Katharine Dock Company have declared
a dividen'd'of 2 per cent, for the half year, carrying
over a good surplus.
At Geelong, a good deal. of dissatisfaction has
prevailed concerning the non-delivery of the mails
prior to their being taken to Melbourne. As the
Melbourne mail would only be delayed 10 minutes,
`while that for Geelong, if not landed at Shortman's
Bluff is retarded two days, it is a matter of great
-importance to the outport, as we may now term it.
The post-office authorities here have attended to
this matter, and orders have been sent out to con-
form to the wishes of the colonists. Two captains
of vessels had been fined for neglecting to land
their mails, and this may prove a useful hint to
those, unacquainted with the port regulations and
about to leave England.
The New York advices notice greater animation
and buoyancy in the Stock market. This was in
part accounted for by the wish of most parties to
make up, their accounts for the year then closing.
Money was in greater demand, and the rate charged
for discount was in many cases as much as 8 and
12 per cent, while loans on call were obtainable at
7 per cent. The aggregate deposits of gold at the
United States Mint, it appears from a statement
made up for December, amounted to four-and-a-
half millions of dollars during that month, and the
total deposits for the year were fifty-three and-a-
half millions Otdollars. The latest weekly return
of the City banks showed an increase in the amount
of loans, deposits, and circulation, but a falling ,off
of 2,086,328 dollars in the - specie. The cotton
market was fluctuating, and the business doing was
limited. At New Orleans, also, the demand was
quiet, and the stock was estimated at 225,000 bales.
There was rather more inquiry for breadstuffs, and
prices were rather firmer.

more numerous than for some time past, and in
consequence of there being buyers to meet them, a
larger amount of business was transacted. The

It will be perceived that " A MAN OF flrE
WORLD" has, through our, columns of this e yen-
ing, given to the public a masterly analysi.s of
the character of NAPOLEON 111., in an elabc ix ate
letter addressed with a certain graceful infer •e nce
to the gallant Marquis of LONDONDERRY. ' A
manifest value attaches to the opinions of . the
writer, as any attentive observer cannot fail', to
deduce from a careful and dispassionate peir usal
of his argument, speaking as he does from a tper-
sonal acquain ta'nce with the eminent person rage
whose genius he has undertaken to donne ate.
Apart from which, it may here, we conceive, be
somewhat reasonably remarked, that the in
dual who has traced these outlines of .on,e of
the foremost men of this age, has evide need'

throughout the dexterity of a master hand in. his
guidance of the pencil, the vigour won by p rac-
tice, and that implicit confidence in the justness
of his own views, -which is the fruit alone of
severe deliberation, and an extended experkaice..
Introduced to NAPOLEON IL by his uncle, /King

of the Duchesse D'ABRANTES; which are in fasci-
nation the "Arabian Nights" of modern autobio-

nplity of that singular temperament not 1 less
astutely or less appreciatively than M. nos: LA.

Prince, a student " abstracted, yet vigi-
lant," a man " inquisitive in everything,, but
studioUsly incommunicative," one who was ‘'` cold
and impassive, but. full of latent energ:r," a
being " cautious in decision, but, .once in aiction,
prompt, rapid, and impetuous," 'an adven Lurer,
in fine (using that word, of course, in its 1( ftiest
signification), " improved by study, steel by
€11,41
adversity, disciplined by every vicissitsude."
Nothing can be more admirably felicitous than
that limning of his personal -aspect
,where
it is said of him, with a humorous paradox or
by a witty antithesis, that "frigidly a fable and
repulsively' polite, he . avoided either offence or
familiarity, but seemed instinctively to coil up his
nature from observation." It will be observed on
an examination of this remarkable letter, that the
writer has passed in review, one .by one, thei prin;
cipal events in the career of the reigning En-
PERAK. He weighs them in the balanDS with
impartiality. 'ie-titters not one syllable liearing
the semblance of special pleading. He calls ;things

The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury are
entertaining a distinguished party at Hatfield House.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and
the Princess Mary are expected to arrive to-morrow
from Kew on a visit to his lordship. A grand ball and
supper will be given to the elite of the rank and fashion
of the county the same evening.
We regret to announce'the severe indisposition of the
Marquis of Londonderry. His lordship, who has been
surrounded by a family party at Wynyard since Christ-
mas, has been suffering for some days from neuralgia,
in a very bad form. The latest accounts describe the
noble marquis to be in a state of great exhaustion from
the continued pain consequent on 'his malady.
The Earl and Countess of Derby and Lady Emma
Stanley left St. James's-square yesterday, on a visit
to the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury at Hat-
field House, Herts.
