GA man Of genius ended his career a few

Booth, the well known trsgedian. The
victim of circumstance and of false social
state, there was ever in him a manly and

THE ELECTION OF GEN. PIERCE IN ENG
LAND.-As was anticipated, the election Of
Pierce and King affords lively satisfaction to
the Free Traders in England The London
Times devotes long leader in gloTification
Of the result. The Times declares that
from the moment of Pierce's nomination,
it never had doubt he was ''the candidate
best fitted to gill the Office of President of
the United Stntes," and adds "there are
several reasons which render the triumph Of
his party on this occasion cause Of legiti-
mate satisfaction to this country" The
Times also exuts that ''the triumph of Gen
eral Pierce is essentially a triumph of Free
Trade" and takes the following correct
view of"some of the darker elements of its
composition" Says the Times:
"The most powerful of all the forces which
are combined in this electoral achievement
is that of the slave interest. The Slave
States have not stood in so commanding q
position in the Union since the Presidency
of Jefferson as they do at this hour, for un-
der the plausible pretext of maintaining the
indissoluble union of ftheConfcderaton, they
have succeeded in making the.whoe nation,
including the freest States, submitin man
ner to their influence and adopt their can
didate.n

LOUIS NAPoLEoE.-The New York Cour-
ier and Enquirer thinks the world has been
greatly mistaken in the character OF Louis
Napoleon, and that the world is beginning to
find it out. In the course of its remarks, the
Courier says:
at SO happened, that when in the winter
of 1886 he landed in this city from Brazil,
where he had been exiledby Louis PHILIPPE,
we were the first acquaintance he made in
the country; and his first evening in the Uni
ted States was spent at our table, in cOmpa-
ny with General Scott and other guests.
This circumstance was the cause of our Sec
ing much of him while in this country; and
London. The result of our intercourse was
a conviction that he was man Of far greater
talent than the world gave him credit for, and
that considering the peculiar character of
the French people, it was impossible to pre-
diet his future. There was one man in Eng
land, however, who foresaw and predicted
the future Of Louis Napoleon; and that man
was the late Sir Robert Peel. He said more
of the exile than any of the statesmen Of
England; and he not only declared him to be
a man of extraordinary talent, but boldly
predicted that if he lived he would inevla-
bly, be at the head of the French nation -
The Courier goes on to state its opinion
that there is great danger in the future of
England, of an invasion by France, and to
show that the creation of the Empireis with
the full sanction Of Russia and Austria, al
though they pretend to deprecate it.
