Mr., Hale, of N. H.. inquired whether tbs bill
covered the cases of agents who were in the habit
of daily exacling back-mai from sailors and officers
of the Navy, to get business done before the depart
menls, and in Congress. He said he had been
shown, under oath, that these were in the habit
of daily selling Congress for price, and if the bill
did not cover such cases. he desired that it lie over
for amendment.
MIR Badger said the bill did not cover what MIR
Hale desired, but he, nevertheless, hoped that it
would be passed, for what it did cover. The bill

PARIS CoRREsPoNDENcE.-T following
interesting extract is from the correspondence of
the London Morning Chronicle.
PARIS, Jan. 4th, 1853.
People in England are apt to imagine that the
esta bllShment Of the empire in France has been
accomplished by the free will of the nation; that
every trenchman, high and low, reo;ces at the
change which has taken place; and that the whole
natien looks forward TO new era of glory and of
happiness under the new regime. There cannot
be greater mistake, as every Englishman who
comes to Paris very soon discovers. On the ar
rival of our countrymen in this capital they fully
expect 10 find all Paris mad with enthusiasm ia
favor OF the new Emperor. They are aslonished
to lind that, so far is that from being the case ev
cry man they meet speaks of 'his Majesty with
indifference, more or less conempuousy express
ed; and then when the Monarch happens to show
himself among his loving subjects, he is allowed
to pass UNDECIDED, or if noticed at all, that the sa
lutte maIvellously resembles that given at fune-
raj.
The truth is that the Empire makes no way in
public opinion, and if we wished proof of the
fact, 1t is tc be found in the difficulty his Majesty
has experienced in organizing an Imperial house
hold which would be presentabIe. The original
intention was that four Dukes should occupy the
vi
Dukes Of Bassane, Baufiremontl Mouchy, and
Wagram. OF the four, only one figures in The
definite list, namely, the Duke de Bassano, whose
father, Maret, Duke de Bassano, held high of.
flee under the Empire, and who himself has no
other distinction but the title derived from his "a
Their. The Dukes Of Kaulremont, and Mouchy
(Noallles,) two of the most noble in France have
declined the proilered honor, had merely consent
TO accept thu place of Senators. The omission of
the Prince Duke de Wagram, is unexplained and
is the more extraordinary because he has always
been considered Bonapartst.
The choice uf Marshals valiant, Magnan, and
de St. Arnaud shows how very narrow was the
list from which Louis Napoleon had to choose -
Inc Two latter especially add nothing either to
the strength or dignity of the new Emperor
These are the men on whom Louis Napoleon is
forced TO fall back to form bis household, in the
absence of the great historical names which he
hoped to place in it,

RAIL ROAD MEETINGS. 1t will be recollected
that the meeting Of citizens, in relation to the pro-
posed Barre and Gardner Railroad, stands adjourn
ed till this evening, when the Committee are to
make their report. The great importance Of this
work, to the interests of this city, and of the county,
we should hope, would call out full meeting. We
believe that the time has now come, when, if ever,
the work should be resoIueIy taken hold OF and ac-
complished. 1t may be done, now, without any such
effort as shall seriously embarrass the people it will
accommodate, and, if it is not done now, other
schemes, less feasible, and less advantageous, yet
better than nothing, will be adopted, and put in exc
cution, and when done, will present an enectua bar
to the construction of this work. Let there be no
hesitation, then, in at least coming together, con-
sulting, and ascertaning what may be done.

a great man. He was first in war, first in peace,
and first in the hearts Of his countrymen; and
though he was in favor Of a United States Bank,
he was friend of education, and f1om what he
said in his farewell address, l have no doubt he
would have voted for the tariff of 1916, if he had
been alive and had not died some time before
hand. His death was considered at the time as
being rather premature, on account of its having
been brought on by an ordinary cold.
"Now, Mr.. Speaker, such being the character
of Gen. Washington, motion that we wear Grape
around the left arm of this Legislature, and ad-
iourn till tomorrow morning, as an emblem of
our respect for the memory of S. Higgins, who is
dead and died of the "brown creaturs," yester-
day in the forenoon"

ing situated thirteen thousand seven hundred and
twenty feet above the level Of the sea.
SO says the New London Star Our geography
taught us that Lima was less than 600 feet above
the level Of the sea, and that even Quito, the
mountain city, was only about $500 feet above
the level Of the sea. The elevation Of 1920
feet, in the latitude Of Lima, approaches near to
the line OF perpetual snow and congelation, and
u above where wheat will ripen. We think
here is no city ia the world al so great an eleys-

PARIS THIEv1NG.-The Paris correspondent of
the journal of Commerce, has the following
amusing account of the manner in which the
thieves of Paris do up their work
"Friday evening last, someintimate friends were
in my parlor, and among them, an American lady
who, the day before, had this adventure She
went to visit the show rooms of Giroux ,--well.
known to all Parisans and all curious strangers
as the mostsplendid, fashionable. and expensive of
the entrepots at this She wore a side
pocket, in which was the sum of three hundred
francs in bank notes, and in the same small D0,te.
nonn0ie about thirty in c0n. She had destined
the money, not TO the purchase Of knick. knacks
but to the payment Of sundry small debts -
On retiring from the mobbish thfong, she found
that her pocket was missing it had been cut in
the neatest manner, from under her robe In the
afternoon, a package was delivered by an unknown
person, TO the porter of her residence 10 her adj
dress containing the pocket, in which were her
handkerchief, noedle-book, and visiting cards-a
but the money. Recovery is out Of the question
as she had not attended to the numbers of the
notes.
A distinguished Catholic priest Of the company
related the following kindred anecdoto. In the
beg inning Of this month, on tho Sunday, mar.
rage IN high life was celebrated at the church of
~. Louis dAniin, about 10 in the morning. Our
Able happened TO be in the Sacristy with fow
others OF the clergy who had just performed re-
ligious service in the chapels. Suddenly the door
opened rather yiolently,and lady entered grasp.
ing by the wrist, gentleman, dressed in extreme
style, with new straw colorod kid gloves and SO
forth. She stated with some agitation that she
