Hhe New Empress Of France--Her
Americas ORIGIN.

- =
The New York Commercial, of Saturday even.
ing, publishes communication (from one who
was formerly resident Of SPAIN the following
sketch, which seems 10 explain the family origin
ofthe new Empress of France very satisfactorily.
Her history is no less romantic than that of the
Empress Josephine:
'By to-day,s advices from Europe we arc told
that the Emperor Napoleon III. has espoused a
Spanish lady, whose grandfather was British Con-
sui at Malaga, and whose mother was an Irish
lady by the name of Fitzpatrick. also, that this
new Empress was in her own right Countess TIE.
ba, although bearing the name of Madamoselle
Montigo. Thus much by telegraph. Now the
plain English of all this is, no doubt an follows:
A worthy Scotchman, by the name of William
Kirkpatrick, was for some time the American.
consul at Malaga, and, failing in business, was
succeeded by George G.. Barrell as United States
consul at Malaga. This was, | think, under
President Menroe's administration.
Mr. Kirkpatrick,s Oldest daughter, Maria, or
sMariaquita,' as she was familiarly called and
known by all Americans there, was very fine,
dashing lady, and married the Count de Teba, a
younger brother of the celebrated Palafox, who
behaved SO gallantly at the seige Of Zaragoza,
and who, in reply to a demand of surrender, de-
clared he would continue the defence by "war to
the knfe.'
"The Phlafox family embraced numerous titles
and was singularly brave and noble. z
"This husband of Maria Kirkpatrick Count de
Teba) was gallant soldier, and SO cut up by
wounds as tn he unable To mount his horse With
out aid, and when in the saddle looked more
if he was hooied on then seated there.''
"The new Empress of the French is no doubt
the daughter of the Countess Teba, 'Maraquita
Kirkpatrick who was the daughter Of William
kirkpatrick, late United States Consul at Malaga
/ NOT British Consul-not Fitzpatrick, and not
Irish.
'.The British Consul at Malaga was William
Laird another old Scoth gentleman, and he was
/ followed by Mr.. Marks, an Englishman.
eff the new Empress of France was Countess
Teba, as stated, than her mother is dead, as also
is her father and she took the title of her mother.
The name Montigo under which she passed in
Paris is perhaps one of the family names or titles
of the Palafoix family p
4 The Commercial in giving this, says
'Like his uncle, the great Napoleon, Louis
has determined, it appears, upon marriage OF
affection and not of u}niencs; with this differ
cnce, however, that while Napoleon l. divorced
Josephine after attaining imperial rank, Napoleon
ii. raises one of the people to the throne. This
marriage may increase the sympathes of the
masses with Louis Napoleon.

.The Hard ar a PROTEST."

The Treasurer of Columbiana county is not on
ly entitled to lasting honor for the bold and fear
less manner, in which he made the Salem Bank
but also for the manner in which he has swaded
into the affections of various other Banking in
stitutions of this State. Every dollar of funds
which Mr.. QUINN will pay out in this county, in
the future-amounting in all, this year, to over
thirty thousand dollars, will be paid in the Consti-
tutional currency-gold and silver.
From the Salem Bank he has received, in coin,
nearly $4,000.
From Columbus Banks he has drawn over
$4,000.
He has on hand seven thousand dollars of the pa
per of the Wheeling Banks, and over four thou
sand dollars of the paper of Cleveland Banks, for
which he will receive s'the hard or protest"
Ifthe Treasurers of the various counties in
Ohio were all like the one in Columbiana coun-
ty, but little of the miserable rags of swindling
Banks would find their way into the pockets Of
the people. He has resolved that whilst he has
control of the purse-strings in Old Columbiana,
that the Constitutional Currency, and 'snothing
else" shall be paid out, in this county, for all the
various purposes. We have not the least doubt
of Mr. QU1NNs ability to carry out all that he has
resolved to perform Patriot.
That's the way to talk it. That is an exam
pie worthy to be followed by every Treasurer in
the State and by doing it they will aid in furnish
ing the people with a currency "about which they
know something instead of that miserable trash
of "home currency" furnished by the shave
shops. With the provision of the Independent
Treasury Bill, requiring the taxes to be collected
in specie or notes of Ohio specie, tax-paying
Banks, and like practice on the part of all the
treasurers, we should have currency not made
up of the worthless trash of Illinois, Michigan
! Indiana, Kentucky, District of Columbia, &c.
&C., &C., which has been furnished by the Ohio
Banks, and which they promised to drive out anc
replace with s'safe, sound and convenient home
currency, convertible at all times into specie a
the will of the holder.'' This is a reform mos
devoutly desired by the people.

The Indiana Sentinel says one of the free
banks established in the village of Newport, Yer
million county, has gone by the board. On Fri
day last 900 of its bills were presented for re-
demption and protested. The name of the Bank
purports to be the Bank of North America.

boasted State Bank system with which the peo-
pie of Ohio are blessed has been. Since its
establishment, some four or five of its pets have
been is most sickly condition, and have only
been saved from utter failure by the nursing of

GETTING Sick OF IT.-We learn from the
Chicago Democrat, says an exchange, that some
of the warmest original friends of the Illinois
Banking law are now for its repeal, as proving a
base fraud upon the people. The argument was
that it would drive shinplasters from the State,
but shinplasters were never more plenty, nor the
currency worse. The bankers themselves ac-
knowledge their inability to take care of them
selves against the trash now flooding the State,
and are calling upon the Legislature for protec-
ton. Itwas also promised that the banks would
give thepeople money at per cent. Instead of
this they loan to their officers at seven per GEN.,
and the officers charge the people from one totwo
per cent. per month. z - saS:i ss=s<
