Louis PHIsIPPE's FoRTUNE.--There
was at one time an attempt on the part Of
several European newspapers, to create
public sympathy for the poor exking Of
the French, on account of the extreme
poverty and destruction to which the in.
crate republicans had reducedhim. All,
however, who were afflicted with tender
emotions at the sad idea may dismiss their
sorrow, for it appears that tho prudent
old gentleman, like prudent old gentle.
man as he was, has taken pretty good care
amid the shaking of empires, and the
wreck Of his throne, to feather his nest
pretty well. His private fortune has suf:
fered great. depreciation within the last
two years. but still it yields him the snug
little income of $4,000 year, or lher.
abouts, This, by his will. he has divided
equally among each Of his eight children
aud grand children, leaving for each the
moderate competence Of 800, 900 year,
upon which, small as Il is. we sincerely
trust they may be able to wriggls through
life NOaHs Sunday Times. =
