ESCAPE OF YOUNG BoNAPARTEF FROM

ESCAPE OF YOUNG BONAPARTE FROM
ITALY, &c.-You have seen the accounts of
the arrival, some time since, of young BOnaparte
to take possession of Bordentown. the former
residence and property of Joseph Bonaparte. Mr..
Mailiard, the old Secretary OF the ex-King, and
his son. reside al Bordentowl. with the young
Prince Canine, as is his title. There is quite a
romantic incident connected with this. Tor the
truth OF which you may safely rely. The esta tie
of Bordeniown was bequeathed to the young
Prince, with the exception of a comfortable farm
which was lett to NJ aillard. But the father of
Canine resolved that he should not take posses
sion of his property. Fearing that through his
prod galitv the estate would be squandered, or
wishing TO hold il in his cwn hands for his own
use, he resolved to detain the young Prince in
Italy. The son having derived his title Of Prince
Canine from the Papal State, and could by the
laws of the kingdom imprison him there till he
was twenty-five years OF age. The young Prince
having resolved to come TO America and take
possession OF his estate, the father, to proven it,
determined to throw him, in prison. and in the
mean time TO preclude the possibility of escape
while they were in Florence, he wrote to the va
rieus parts of Italy authorizing the authorities to
arrest him if he should appear there with the in
tentiOn OF embarking for any foreign country -
Finding himself locked in on every side, the
young Prince gave himself up TO despair. and
awaited the day when he should be carried to
the Papal States and be shut up in the walls of
a prison. But young Maillard in the mean time
was active for his friend though all his efforts
seemed a~bOrtIve. AT length but one day was
left in which to escape before the father should
take the son to prison. Almost in despair young
Maillard hasiened to Leghorn. and there to his
Joy founda S" edish vessel bound to New York.
Jumping into a carriage. he hurried back to Flor
ence, and dressing himself in female apparel "a
sign agreed on between the two when Maillard
wrote him sent a note to the young prince say
ing q female wished to see hlm.-Haste ming to
a by street he found his friend awaiting him,
| who told him of the Swedish vessel that was to
sail next morning for New York. The prince
needed no urging. instantly Jumping into the
carriage with MaIllard, and drove with all speed
to Leghsrr. where they arrived q iitle after day
light. The vessel was TO sail in two hours, a nd
aboard of that miserable craft, with its misera-
BILE accommodations. the young prince was hur-
ried, and in two hours was making out of port
and away from the shores of Italy. After a pas
sage of seventy-three days he arrived in New
York. Maillard went to London and took pas
sage in the packet for the United States. We
saw him a week or two after his arrival full of
del ight te find his feet on American sell

to call the attention OF the President to an imme-
date survey OF the Illinois river, to ascertain the
character OF the bars that obstruct. its navigation,
and collect information necessary to determine
the best means OF removing them, and securing
the greatest depth of water which the river can

CAPTAIN KIDD,S VESSEL.


Our readers are perfectly aware that for more
than a year past a Company have been at work
in making preparations to raise a large vessel ly-
in the Hudson near Caldwell's, which is suppo-
sed to have been the vessel sunk by The ceIebra-
ted Pirate KIDD. A Company was organized.
the Stock sold at high prices. an old canonade
raised from the sunken vessel, and then, as all
cOmmotion on the subject ceased we supposed
the bubble had burst
In this we were ia erroy. We found ourself
at CALDwELL's a lew days since, and were great
ly surprised to perceive that a Golfer Dam had
been constructed around the sunken vessel, and
that the Engineer of the work had that day COM
menced pumping out the water. We ascertain
ed too, that all parties interested in this specu-
lation have the most unwavering confidence in
this vessel being the identical one sunk by KIDD
and that it contains millions OF dollars worth Of
treasures.
There is no doubt of the fact that KIDD did
sink his ship somewhere in the Hudson, and that
he escaped with his crew to Boston, where he
was apPrehended, sent to England, tried and ex-
eeuted In 1901. 1t is, we suppose, equally GER
tain, that in boring through the deck of The yes.
sci sunk at CALDwELL's, the augar has brought
up specimens of silver; and there is no doubt
but the vessel lying there ID a large one, that
she is embedded some twelve feet in the sand,
and that they have raised from her an old fash.
Toned iron canOnade.
All these iacls have doubtless given conf
dence to those engaged in the enterprise; but it
is curious that the principal cause of confidence
and that wherein parties have expended nearly
thirty thousand dollars is mesmerism and clair
voyance!
Almost every individual soys the vessel con-
tains an enormous amount of treasure in gold
and silver bars, lewelry, diamonds and other pre-
ci4us stones, and gold dust; and they, one and
all, declare their willingness TO have mesmerism
stand or fall by this ,est!!
This is certainly a very curious fact. and one
which gives an interest to the work now rapidly
progressing TO completion at Cald elps. We
certainly have no faith in the enterprise; but we
are perfectly willing to take the mesmerisers al
their word, and if they have truly foretold the
existence of great treasure in this vessel TO ad-
mil their ability to see invisible things. If on
the contrary, there is no such treasure there,
then, by its own admission, mesmerlsm is a hum.

THE SuB-TREAsuRy.-"Among the reso-
lutions adopted by the Baltimore convention,
says the Washington Union of Wednesday,
swas one in favor of the independent treasu-
ry. These resolutions have ever been re-
garded by the President as Indicating the po-
Icy by which his administration should be
governed. The independent treasury was
sustained by the vote of the Presid ent and
Secretary of the Treasury, and further expe-
rience has only confirmed the views then ia
ken by both. The specie policy will be sus-
tanned in all IFS vigor; the coinage will be in
creased the. foreign gold coin, whichd does not
circulate, will be converted as rapidly as pos
sible into the half and quarter eagle; and all
other proper means will be used, (ncluding
the recommendation Of the independenttrea-
sury) TO secure TO The people an abundant
supply of the constitutional currency.n
Another attempt at the Sub Treasury
Very well; the Union is frank and explicit.
Are w 10 have a bankrupt law for corpora
tons aIso3 MIR. Van Buren,, who looked far
ther ahead in this matter than any other man
of his party, was very particular about that.
Taking the SUBJ Treasury asa system, fl
nal and conclusive in itself, it is one of the
most absurd devices that ever deluded a de-
g ridden people. AS an initiatory
step to something else it presents a different
aspect. With a bankrupt law for corpora
tons, requiring every bank, on a failure to
pay specie, to be putin liquidation, the whole
banking system ofthe country could be swept
away by the agency of the Sub-Treasury ac-
ton, aided by the power of the Government
over the disposal of the public deposiies.-
Upon the ruins efthe system thus overthrown
a national system of currency might be erect
ed having but one source of issue; and the
clause of the Constitution forbidding the
States to emit bills of credit could be strict
" applied.
Mr.. Van Buren's term of four years was
almost entirely taken up in efforts 10 get the
Sub-Treasury bill through Congress. If he
had succeeded in 1897, when he FIRST propos
ed it, there would have been time enough
perhaps for bringing its action 10 bear efic-
iently, as the shrewd statesman of the safety
fund system mos! probably designed. He
failed until success was of no avail, and in
that failure was involved the loss of the Pre-
sidency in the election of 1910. The Sub
Treasury lay an unwieldly form without the
spirit of life in it-useiess, impracticable-
What Mr.. Polk designs by again urging
this system we do not know, unless because
il is in accordance with one of the resolu-
lions of the Egyptian Hall oousention-and

FIRE.-Evansville has been visited by
another fire, and, as we look upon it, the
most disastrous that has befallen us. About
hall past four o'clock this morning the large
Touring Mill and Distillery, known as the
"Pigeon MILL" worked by Nathan Rowley,
Esqr. was discovered on fire. We were
among the first on the ground, but, on our
arrival, the fire had extended too far to admit
of it being subdued. The entire Mill, with
all IFS machinery, and one or two out build
ings were destroyed. Mr.. Rowley lost be-
tween four and FIVE thousand bushels of wheat
and about twelve hundred bushels of coin.
The loss of this mill will be severely felt not
only by our merchants, but by the farmers Of
the surrounding country. We have not learn
ed that there was any insurance.
