The Face of Louis Napoleon.

That face. IN appearance so motionless and
ilsensibe, is but the mask of the man Within
ardent and powerful. Those eyes are dull, but
AS profound as the thoughts in which they dive,
and which rise at times in their orbits us the
fame rises from the hearth from whence it de-
riyes its fire. That brow is gloomy as fate, but
expansive as creative genius, Those lips are
coiorless, but full of expression; delicately turn
ed severed; scarcely sufficient parting, and O.
pen just enough to allow the curt and precise ex-
preston If a will emanatng from reflection, and
inexoraby resolved. The voice is indolent and
drawing, but Sc f-reant; and the indifference
which shows itselfis but the excess of that CON
idence. Courage concealed by timidity-reso
luton disguised by gentleness- nflexibilitv sof
tened by mildness-pohcy hidden by good nature
life under marble-fre under ashes; in word,
something partaking of Augustus and of Titus,
but with the face of Il Werther, that tvpe ofGer'
man sentimeniality. Such does Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte appear,

The British Financial Staten ont

The chancellor of the English Exchequer has
propounded his plan of financial operations for
the coming year. The state of the revenue is
prosperous, and but for the war expenditure
would have admitted of a reduction of taxaton.-
The products OF the various of revenue
had been estimated at f52.990, 900, and had in
reality produced f54, OPS, 900, being an enhance
ment on the year of { ,035,000 He estimated
that the ways and means for the years 1915,
would amount to esq, 349, 600, of which sum- Co.
275,000 would be derivabe from '.income tax
at the present rate Of that tax. But as the est-
mated expenditures would,o on account of the war,
show war deficiency of e2,s40, 900, instead of
las he had hoped) peace surplus of fl ,660,0 900,
he promised 10 raise the means by doubling the
income tar. From this source he would derive
an increase of receipts to the amount of e3,3O7,-
900 on the sir months. Besides this, he would
require to issue f1,750,000 in new excheouer
bills, while waiting for the supplies to come in
from the income tax, but would pay off that tenn
porary loan when he got hold of the larger amount
Of tax. He further took occasion to mention that
he would propose reduction in the price of
stamps for bills of exchange TO 3D.. for f25 on
short bills and I'D. for long dates. This propo-
sal respecting stamps was not measure of f.
nance but Of convenience to the public.
The Richmond Enquirer pronounces the Wing
party hopslessIy brokenup by Wings South, and
Wing Aboltionists North.
Upon which the New York Express remarks:
II this be so, it is in the exact condition the
Democratic party was in, when it elected Pierce,
going tor Secession South, and Free Soil North
The Wings then have only to pick up candi-
date that nobody knows anything about. as did
the Democrats, and when elected. as on their
precedents, he must be, he must give his princi-
pies to Southern seeessionists, and his spos to
Northern Abotionists,- and then tn Wbispar-
ty will be just in the present condir-~u Of the De
mocratic party.

The Providence Journal published the follow
log extract from a letter received in Provi-
dence, dated Rio de Janeiro, September 9Th:
The vessels in port are the bark Nevada,
last from Rio Grande, and the brig Paragon
from the same port, both in ballast, waiting
freight; the ship Tejuca, loading for New York,
the steamer Bay City, in distress, bound to
San Francisco, and under sail. Before this
reaches you, l expect there will be a sensation
in the States, because Of her having been FIR
ed into by the English brig Bonita. The Con-
sul has had the matter under advisement, and
the proper papers have been forwarded to our
Government. 1t seems that the man-of-war,
being leeward, fired three blank guns tor her
to heave to; t%hereupon. with his colors flying,
Capt. Wardle hauled his fore and jib sheets to
windward, lowered the peak of her fore and
aft sails. and waited for him to come up, when
three shots were fired in succession. The
first fell short, the second came within ten feet
of her fore foot, and last passed between her
fore and main masts. On the boat reaching
the gangway, the Eng!ishman inquired who
was the master, when Capt. Wardle answered
him that he himself was the man. He then
said that the steamers men were all drunk,
and in a surly manner demanded why he
did not heave to. Capt. Wardle answered
that he had done so before he he had fired a
shot. His papers were examined, when the
Englishman noting in the steamers log the
fact of boarding him, left. There is a Russian
frigate somewhere on the coast, and the En-
glish are out looking Cor it.

The Perils Of the Sea.

Judge Curtis, Of the United States Circuit
Court of Massachusetts, in a recent charge to
the Grand Jury, alluded to the deplorable loss
Of life by steamships and vessels at sea, and
said that although these cases were numerous,
there had not been a single person convicted or
punished for a neglect to comply with the pro-
visions Of Congress N the subject. The ct
Of Congress provided, among othsr thiags, that
tho Supervising Isspssssn shouid report the
disasters % the Sscretsry Of the Treasury. A
sepost had been made for the period between
January LIST to June 18th, and it gave . list Of
sixty.four steamboat disasters, with a loss of
500 lives, and upwards of 100000 in pro.
perty. This ratio, for an entire year, would
give hoo lives and S5!0oo0oO of property
The existing laws, be said, were ample, but
they are not sufficiently enforced.

off by the Indians leaving the wagons in the
road. This news was brought BY a train, which
was at the time q few hours. travel in the rear.
but which happily escaped attack.
Near Tucson, about the same time, a party
of twenty Americans were eating their dinner.
