We have already laid so much of it before

The most curious part of it, is the disc losure
of the correspondence between the late Prince
Schwartzenburg, and the Cabinets OF Berlin
and ST. Petersburg. SchwartZenburg recon.

the person of Louis Napoleon, but the two cab
inets would not concur, because they said il
the Empire were established, Louis Napoleon
might help to establish the boundaries of the
Empire. These would embrace LombarGy,
Piedmont, the Kingdom of Naples, Belgium.
and Holland. In the meantime, in spite of the
denial Of the Moniteur, Louis Napoleon is ex-

citation closed the session of their Convention in this
city, On Friday evening, with magnificent dinner
at the Exchange. The tables were spread with the
delicacies of the season, and ornamented in style
which did credit to the enterprisng p oprietor, Mr.
Ballard, and Mr. Reynolds the caterer, and were
visited and admired, before the hour of dinner ar
rived, by great numbers of ladies. The middle table
had on it beautiful silver flower vase, bought ex
presslp for the OCCASION and the other tables silver
chandeliers. The whole cost of the dinner, we un.
derstand to the Medical Association was $780, and
to Mr. Ballard upwards of $780, loss which ought
to be made up to the proprietor in increased pa.
tronage.
After the dinner the regular toasts of the evening
were read and responded to in manner which in
dicated that all were in high spirits, and duly i'm
pressed with the importance of the occasion Mr.
Wise spoke twice; first as representative of TIE
patients upon whom the doctors operate, and Sc
condly as Doctor, having received his diploma in
the course Of the evening. Much laughter and an.
plause Between two and three in the morning
the company broke up and we have no doub, that
the guests will long have to remember the
hospitality of Old Virginia.
