The coronation of Louis Napoleon will cost much
more than that Of. Napoleon the Great, and, con-
sequently, than any other public Ceremony that
France ever paid for. That # Napoleon cost
somewhat over two millions. The marriage will
cost as much more probably; and the birth Of the
heir fthere is any, will doubtless be made the &C.
caslon o. similar expenditures The coronation
robes to exceed any other coronation robes ever
heard of, and heard yesterday an indignant Or
leaniSt say, ''The creature has had the lmpudence
10 have the crown Jewels sewed in MS imperial
manteau.'' The crown, for which M. Lemonnier,
the newly appointed court jeweller, has gone to
Russia 10 obtain precious stones is also to go ahead
ofa any crown vet composed. "A model of the foot
the Princess Wasa has arrived, and has been con-
fided to the imperial shoemaker A model of the
princess hand is expected for the glove maker; and
the necessa oulds for the corset maker the bon
net maker, and the modiste. daguerTeotype has
been anIed to the courtpninter, and am aston
shed that the likeness of the future Empress has
not appeared in the shop windows. BY the time
she gets here she will find herself an old story.
Many people suppose that the Emperor wears his
Imperial robes upon all occasions. These belong,
of course, to the rising geneFSon, who do not re-
member so far back as the other Empire They
would be undeceived, did they go, ona fine alter
noon, TO the Champs ElYsees or Inc 4iols oe BON
LONE. For there the Empero; may often be seen
driving himself two horse pheton. He is dressed
in heavy, shaggy, blue pilot cloth coat, with the
ribbon of the Legion of Honor peeping from his but
ton hole. When he rides Upon hoISeDack' there Is
nothing, in his dress to distinguish him tIom clh-
zen OF a subject. He bows toal who bows TO him,
and never have seen any one so apparently anx-
ions TO salute and be saluted. He catches at every
thing that can be construe into arecogntion; but
with all his zec he does not touch his hat oftener
than once in zen mods. Gentlemen on horseback
mass him without looking at him; and, as this is an
act of downright lmpO .iteness, you must suppose
that the riders have serious reasons FORTH COM
mission of such rudeness.
How many sardines do you suppose have been
taken this year upon the coast of Brittany, two
hundred miles long2 Five hundred and seventy
six millions Half of them are to be preserved and
sold fresh and half are to put downin oil. One
HUNDRED and sixty vessels, manned by five thousand
five hundred sailors and fishermen, are engaged in
the trade. The preparation, transport, and sale OF
the fish, employ ten thousand persons. Nine thou
sand of these are occupied all winter in the ma
king and mending of nets. The fishing lasts two
hundred days, and yields net profit to all con-
cerned of three million francs. The sardines dis
appear in November and return in Apnl. Where
they 90 during these four months, why they go, or
what they do while gone, has never been discover
ed. The fishermen say that the same individuals
never come twice-that every successive anval IS
composed Of fish much smaller than those that lass
left, and that they appear to be their young. At
any rate, they implicitly on their appearances
and no surdine was ever known yet to break an en-
gagement thus taeitly entered into.
