Another Democratic Newspaper in Washing
ton.--A correspondent in the Baltimore Sun
confirms a "confidential' rumor which has pre-
vailed here, that another Democratic paper ia to
be established in this city under the editorial d.
rection of N. Beverly Tucker, esq.
AS this movement is said to be in entire har-
nony with the Union, we have no precise clue
TO the object which has instigated it. Perhaps
the Administration is to be fitted up to run two
organs, like a double-engine steamboat, an i'm
provement we believe indispensable where the
navigation is likely to require much "backing"
or turning"
"fThe new editor, Mr.. Tucker, possesses many
valuable attributes for a party editor; he has
much energy and natural ability, with an ex-
tensive knowledge of public men and move
ments. We welcome him into the political
ring, satisfied that, although a Democratic an
tagonist of the most decided character, he will
fight fair; and that, though the blows which he
shall give and receive may be hard, be will al
ways respect that noble rule of pugilistic chiv-
airy and "ncver strike below the bell. Wash

The French Imperial Court.--The court,
says a Paris letter, still continues at the Tuil-
cries. The Emperor has received the Corps
Legislatif several times recently. He receives
them between 9 and 10 o'clock, p. M. in the
apartments ofthe ground flood of the Tuileries,
c"ntia uous to his cabinet, or study. With the
exception of Generals, no one, not even the
Ministers, were in uniform. The Emperor
stood at the door of his study, received success
siyely each visitor, and talked Familiarity with
him. The deputies give him places, or notes
(Which he passes to General Roguet, his aid de
campO or ask him for railway concessions. To
give some idea how these demands rain on him.,
I may mention, that at one of these receptions,
eighty rail way concessions were asked for!
The Emperor's study is adorned in the most
simple manner. 1t contains a marble bust of
the Empress, a large and fine aquareze, repre-
s~enting the taking of Laghouat; another aquar-
ellie, representing his marriage ceremony, and a
magnificent portrait of the young, pale, but
suffering Duke de Reichstadt There is be-
sides a simple mahogany table, on which letters,
and papers are placed. The dining room,
which is opposite to it, is of an exquisite rich.
ness and taste. The walls are of green mar
bic, and the ceiling vaulted in the most beauti-
ful manner. The Emperor has always break.
tasted alone, until within the last few days,
when he breakfasted with the Empress; they
dine together. He continues making changes
in the organization of his household. M. Le-
fevre Dcumier is no longer charged with the
ordering of objects of art for the Emperor
M. de Nieuworkerke has the place; he also
to be director of the Museums. Col.
de Vaudrey has not so extensive a jurisdiction
as formerly, he has merely the T~uileries and
Elysee under his care.

NEW PATENT r.
AND RUPTURE REMEDY,
WILL EFFECT A SPEEDY CURE

BY this Truss the following objections so prominent in
every other one in use are ~obyiated-strong spring, with its
consequent severity, injurious pressure, and inability to
cure. And the following advantages gained: gentle pres
sure, complete retention, perfect ease and complete cnre.
DThis Truss is entirely different from all others i'll form
and principle of action, consequently, etfect-pesSesS sing
all the advantages, while it is free from the objections attri-
buted to the various kinds heretofore in use. The pressure
is more natural, being comparatively light in bad rupturcs:
can be regulated and brought to bear directly over the heri-
nal openings, thereby %atfording security at all times, even
under the most violent exercise. BY its use, when fitted by
the proprietor or s skillful surgeon, the wearer is placed
beyond the danger of Strangulation or any other painful or
dangerous symptoms, which are not unfrequent to the use
OF other Irusses. 1t is a very common practice for persons
ahlIcted with Hernia, to select Truss aud apply it TO them
selves. 1t is a bad and dangerous practice, which can be
seen only by those who understand anatomy, and are fami-
liar with the nature of ruptures. Let it be remembered that
the best Truss may be injurious if it does not suit the form
of rupture applied to. and is not properly fitted. Therefore,
] have concluded to form no Agencies, but to sell and apply
the Truss ONLY at my office, 20 st. Charles street.

Observethe sign of the q over the door.
The following is deemed sufficient evidence of the superb

IA Canada paper tells the following story:
"a gentleman who was travelling down the
st. Lawrence on one of the American boats on
the 4th of July, got into a conversation with
an old American, who from his grey locks and
apparent age, might have taken part in the Re-
y~olution.
The conversation gradually turned to the an
niversary which is celebrated on the day in
question, when if was remarked that the cele-
bration of the 4th of July, In the States, would
be done away with.
This apparently reused the octogenarian;
raising himself to his full height, and turning
to our acquaintance, he said:
"Now, mark me, stranger, the first thing
you'll hear read on the day of judgement will
be the Declaration of American Independence,
and tnat day will be on the 4th of July, too"
