That system which will ensure the construction of the inn

will prove the least oppressive to the taxpayer and the
most useful to commerce 1t requires argument to
Provefor every days experience teaches ushat public
works Of every description be made much smaller

rectly interested in the Improvement than when con-
structed by the Federal Government. Hence nasmuch
as the expenses of constructing river and harbor i'm
provements must, under either plan, be betrayed by
tax upon commerce in the first instance, and finally upon
the whole people interested in that commerce. am Of
the opinion that the rdens would be less under the sys

from the Federal treasury Those who to have
understood the difference have attempted to excite preu

purpose and none other In short plan similar to the

An ADDITION has been made to the occupations

ASSISTANCE. In the Transmission of the Queen's

Their report does not contain any evidence that

ASAp, SAD SroRY.-Coroner Kennedy was
called upon yesterday morning at an early hour
to hold an inquest upon the body Of NAH
found lying on the levee, near the foot of Myr-
tie street. The body, when first discovered,
was lying face downward, the blood issuirE
from the mouth and eyes, and the features very
much contorted and swollen. He was well
dressed, of handsome e cure, and about tweaty-
five years of age. In one of his pocket was
found letter, written in French, translation
of which we give below. 1t tells melancholy
story.
A post mortena examination was had by
DIR. Campbell and Hampstead, for the purpose
of determining by what means he came to his
death. There was no wounds nor bruises on
the body, and doubtless lr committed suicide
by taking poison. The letter reads st. Louis
Democrat.
~ beg those who find my body will make no
search, for the murderer was myself. My name
is Francis Henry de Longviile, born at Paris,
April 4, 1928; my family was ruined by an ex-
tensive speculation in l849. married one of
those girls of whom the world has but few,
and thought my happiness assured; quit my
native land with my little family in the month
of May, and disclnbarked at New Orleans,

happiness only during fifteen days, frightful
calamity covered me with mourning my poor
beloved wife was attacked with the terrible
cholera--after two hours of horrible suffering,
she expired. Hardly was she buried, when my
poor little boy, aged three years died of the
some disease, my despair was very great. But
God had still left me little daughter of thir-
to resist in future, for in this poor little inno-
cent saw all the sweetness of her beloved
mother. ask nothing more of God than to
live for my child. But God was pleased to
strike me again, taking from me the only good
he had left me in the world; the Goth October
was the unhappy day on which l closed the
cyelids of my last treasure. Having, then, no
consolation left, l resolved to make an end of
it. Let no one blame me, for every man Of
feeling must understand what burden life has
become to me-"
