EVENING,

francs, the proceeds of my patrimonial estate of
Peronne near Macon, sold by me at this period. If
you will, seek further information upon these mat-
tev, my lands sold, my purchasers, my attorneys,
my publishers, my creditors, my deeds, and my re-
ceipts, will, more even than myself, yield a peremptory
and decisive answer.

As to the movement of my disposable fortune since
the day on which the Republic was established, since
the moment of my accession to power even to this
day, behold it ! I have been compelled to borrow
a hundred and ten thousand francs for the purpose of
disbursing a hundred and five thousand. The
money-lenders, the publishers, and the creditors
who have been repaid, are all here to attest the
accuracy of these assertions. lam ready to produce
these witnesses to whomsoever may be now particu-
larly incredulous. Their names alone are a sufficient
testimony of the sincerity and morality of these acts.
It is evident, then, that the source of my partial
disbursements in 1848 was not in the public treasury,
but in the chests of my friends and of my creditors.
I blush at being compelled to reveal and thrust
forward these private statistics ; but the people have
a supreme right to the reputations of their repre-
sentatives. Let us on then, still further.

Shortly before the 23,1 of February, I had, at
different dates, concluded arrangements with book-
sellers, with publishers, with capitalists, and with pro-
prietors of journals, for the production of
my literary works, past, present, and to
come, y ielding altogether the sum of five
hundred and forty thousand francs. I hoped, through
the fruits of my arduous toils, to pay off my creditors
in a few years, preserving meanwhile my patrimony
to a numerous and beloved family, and to a still more
numerous family of labourers who live upon my
capital. The cares of public affairs and the crisis of
events, which I did not wish to cause any injury or
inconvenience to honest and generous contractors,
compelled me to cancel all these agreements and
forced me to disburse again the various advances
which I had received. I therefore sacrificed five
hundred and forty thousand francs voluntarily to the
Revolution. Behold then the benefits which I have
acquired from the Republic ! Behold the real trea-
sure which was buried in my conscience in order to
reserve myself hi perfect freedom for the labours and
the necessities of my country ! Ido not regret one
iota of this fortune of the man of letters
which has been thus sacrificed by the man of
politics for the foundation of a new order of things.
I would joyfully sacrifice not only the rest of my
fortune, but my name, my liberty, and my life !
Let our properties, our reputations, our very indivi-
dualities themselves, be ground down and pulverized
in the movement of human affairs, so that the Con-
stitutional Republic be founded, so that the People
be aggrandized in knowledge, in morality, in rights,
and in happiness! Behold the sole justice and the
sole recompense which I demand from my generation
and from my country !

After a lapse of fourteen years, the First October of
old, one of the best of the Newmarket Meetings, has
been extended to four days, with an aggregate of racing
that, in more favourable times, would have ensured a
great attendance; that it has failed to do so is to be attri-
buted to the gloom produced, in the first instance, by
the badness of the Doncaster settling, and increased by
the melancholy termination of the career of a nobleman,
who was not less distinguished on the turf than in the
Senate. The weather, which was cold and wet, helped
to eutralise a list that, in the quantity and character of
the sport, has never been approached in a First October
Meeting.

FATAL TERMINATION TO A WAGER.--Yesterday
an inquest was taken by Mr. W. Payne, the City Coroner,
in the board room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the
body of Edward Henry Robinson, aged 25 years. The
deceased was in the service of Messrs. Piper, the builders
of Bishopsgate. On Friday he returned from dinner,
and ascended a ladder placed against a scaffold on his
employers' premises. He reached the second-floor plat-
form, when he got into a conversation with a felat low-
workman, who bet the deceased a pet of beer thhe
would not climb up underneath the ladder with his
hands only more than six rounds high. The deceased
commenced the wager, but before he completed it his
I.iands slipped, and he fell with great violence to the
ground, whereby ho received a compound fracture of the
left thigh. He was removed to the hospital, where he
died on Saturday evening last, epilepsy having super-
vened. The coroner and jury strongly condemned the
system of making such foolish wagers, after which a
verdict of " Accidental death" was recorded.
