delicacy which made an impression on all who had
watched the long progress OF this singular drama.
singular case has just been submitted to the tri
bunal of the Juge de Paix at Toulouse. Louis Napo
Leon in the course of his visit to this city, in the
month OF October last, appeared to be much struck
with the enthusiasm with which party OF ladies in
a hatters shop in the Rue st. Etenne, cried Vive
rEmpereur Vive Louis Napoleon ~ and he threw
to them bouquet of artificial flowers, which he car
ried in his hand Thelbouquet was picked up by the
halter, and presented by him either to one OF the
ladies' Madame S. or to his little child, whom
his wife was carrying in her arms. Which OF the
two it was could not, in the confusion, be actually
ascertained; but Madame s. took the bouquet
home with her. The halter subsequently obtained
it from her. and intmated that he should not return
it, Madame s. insisted that it was her property,
as he had presented it to her. and that she had only
lent it to him to show to sick person the halter,
on the contrary, maintained that it was his, and he
had only let her take it home to show her husband.
The dispute grew fast and furious" and as there
was no likelihood of its being brought to friendly
conclusion, Madame s. cited the halter before
the Juge de Pax, to have him condemned to give
up the bouquet. The Juge, after making search
able to come to any other conclusion than that Ma
dame s. and Madame B., the halter s wife,
had displayed equal enthusiasm for the Emperor,
and that there was nothing to show that his majesty
cular he, therefore, like another Solomon, decided
that it should be equally divided, and that in the
event Of the halter refusing to give up half OF it, he
should pay 100 francs.
Colonel Fleury, Master of the Horse to the Empe-
ror, left Paris on Tuesday for England. The object
of his visit is to obtain admission into the stables of
her Majesty, and those of the principal nobility and
breeders OF horses and to become acquainted with all
the improvements that have been lately introduced.
1t is the anxious desire to have all the stable appoint
ments upon the most approved system. Already up
wards Of sixteen thousand pounds have been ex-
pended upon the establishments ut the Tuileres and
ut st. Cloud and everything has been provided with
out regard to expense upon all which modern know
ledge has shown to be necessary There are about
two hundred and sixty horses now in the imperial
stables; about half dozen only favortes OF the
Emperor, who is acknowledged to be the most ac-
compshed rider in his dominions. Whilst the first
Napoleon regarded only the steadiness and capabity
that his horse had of enduring fatigue the present
Emperor requires swiftness and docility. He likes,
too, an animal somewhat snowy. The one upon
which he was mounted upon entering Paris, on the
last occasion, won quite as many hearts as his rider
by his graceful movements and gallant bearing. He
seemed to vie with his master in affablity and
bowed his head with becoming pride each time the
Emperor took off his hat, to the great delight and
amusement Of the assembled crowd. Most of the
persons employed in the stables are English and the
principal individual consulted upon all subjects con-
nected with that department is gentleman holding
the rank of major in the British army
The Emperor, it is stated, has resolved to have
stag hunts twice week in the forest of st. Germain
on account of its proximity to Paris For that pur-
pose two packs Of hounds will be sent to st. German,
one called the "pack Of the Emperor" the other
bearing the name of the town. One of the two
weekly meetings will always come off on Thursday,
under the direction of the first huntsman, and the
officers Of his Majestys household; any one will be
allowed to attend it on foot, horseback, or in
tended by the Emperor, will not be on fixed day,
and only those gentlemen who possess the buttons of
the household Of his Majesty will be admitted 1t is
calculated that each hunt will only occupy about an
from his serious occupations for more than three
hours at a time. There are already about thirty
stays in the forest of ST. German and it is said that
forty more are to be sent to it.
