DEATH OF THE DUKE DE LEUCHTEN-
BERG.-It is remarkable circumstance tina,
the same advices which arprise us of the
installation of Louis Napoleon as Emperor
of France, conveys information Of the death
of the Duke de Leuch,enburg, the second
son Of Eugene Beauharnais, and son-in-law
Of the Emperor Nicholas. The eldest broth
err Of this young prince died shortly after
his marriage with the Queen Of Portugal, in
the flower of his age. The duke himself
was in his thirty-sixth year, and had &C.
quired position in the imperial family of
Russia, which seemed to des,ine him to
higher honors. His death is announced al
the very moment when his cousin Louis
Napoleon is ascending the imperial throne
Of France, and The only link which connect
ed the Bonaparle family with that Of Rnss;s
is thus dissolved. 1t seems, as if in spite
of the extraordinary advantages of fortune
which have followed the descendants of the
Empress Josephine, some fatality in,erposed
TO prohibit the permanence Of The honors,
and TO oblierale the traces thew have left
amongst the relgnlng families OF Europe
Remarking upon this the London Times
says:-
"'There is every reason to suppose tina,
Louis Napoleon will guard himself as
much as possible agains. these contingent
cies, and that his marriage will follow very
shortly upon his proclamation and access
sion. But it is an essential characteristic Of
the institutions which have lately been i'm
posed on France, that the security they con-
fer is limited to the duration Of a single life.
if indeed that be not curaled by the ankle
,y and the accidents of such reign"

"Our legislation has been dictated by the

and religious institutions for the benef. Of

fellow citizens. From all the information

bic probabilities of the case, are are con-

Enclosed ia a slip containing the proceedings of

the bad condition of the roads, owing to the late

And the teams will average about three persons,
including men, women, and children, and about
