A New KIND or BRIcK.-we were
shown yesterday an entirely new ma
terial for the construction of buildings.
II is a preparation Of sand and lime
put into moulds, and operated upon
with a most powerful press. The
specimens we saw had about three
times the superficial area Of a COM
mon brick, though, Of course, their
size would depend upon the pleasure
Of the maker. They are made with
an open space in the centre, occupying
one-half the length and about one
third the breadth Of the brick. Those
we saw were a handsome gray colour,
as smooth as dressed stone could be,
and apparently as solid as granite
Their real solidity was about equal to
good burnt brick, though they had
been made but about three weeks, and
time and exposure are expected to har-
den them continually. They can be
furnished as cheaply as brick, and un'
less some difficulty is developed with
regard 10 them not now apparent, i
seems TO us they must come into ac-
tive demand for building purposes. =
They would certainly appear as beau
tiful as The finest stone. and making
as they do, q hollow wall, with .
smooth interior surface, they can b,
2apered against, or painted or white
washed, without the necessity Of lath'
ing or plastering.-Kenosha TEL, Sept

LoSDos. Nov. 8. 1854
Don Piatt. Secretary Of the United
States Legation at Paris. has jus, come
over with dispatches for Mr.. Buchanan
in relation 70 the discourtesy Of the
French Government TO the American
Minister to Spsin. Louis Napoleon.
on last Sunday invited Mr.. Mason TO
o private interview at the Palace. In
the course Of the discussion Mr.. Mason
took occasion. with great frmness. to
let his Majesty understand to the full
the disastrous Consequences Of war
with America. and that he had no
doubt on his mind as to the course
which the American Minister 70 Paris
should pursue in the premises. That
he should at once. y ithout proper ex-
plantations were given by the French
court assume the whole responsibility
of the consequences, and ask for bis
passports.
The excitement Of the Americans Of
Europe in regard 10 this affair had run
so high as TO effect the prices Of French
stocks. As the general impression was
that Louis Napoleon would rot recede,
the London operators sold large
amount Of French rentsy. .s.r.
The consequence in Paris was the
fall Of stocks nearly one per cent. AS
such tendency was particularly dan

Mason, breathing a still more depre-
catory tone than the Constitutional.

AGREEABLE SURPRISE.

A lady in Cincinnati went through
great deal Of unnecessary suffering. in
connection with one Of tho recent fail.
ures. Her husband and eldest son
were absent on q little trip down the
river, when the news reached her OF
tho failure Of the Bank in which, for
years, they had deposited their saving,
with the intention Of some day buying
house and some land in the country.
How she grieved can be well surmised /;
but her grief was more for her indus.
trious and sslf.denying husband and
son. than for herself. How could she
communicate the sad ncws ofthe wreck
Of their hard-eamed property They
had lsft her in such buoyaut spirits for
little holiday, an unwonted indul-
gence, and therefore much thought of;
and what sad welcome she had in re-
serve fer them! They returned yes.
terday, but the occurrences Of the week
were sources ofno trouble TO them.
With the desire Of giving her pleas.
ing surprise. they had recently drawn
all their money from the Bank, and a
little below Madison, had purchased a
perfect paradise Of a farm. ready stock
cd. Her surprise was pleasing one
indeed. but from different reasons to
what they had expected when carrying
out their little plot.

Is THE RANK HRuKi

On the night Of Manchesler's fail
ure, willie yet few persons fingered
at his clearinghouse door, very de-
cent looking Irish woman rushed up,
and with tears streaming from her eyes,
asked "if the bank wor bruk." On
being assured that such was the mel
ancholy truth, in a voice full of an-
guish she asked who was killed. Be-
fore the astonished bystanders could
answer. she raved, rather than uttered;
"Me Larry and the two byes are dead;
l know they are. Oil wirra, wirra; !
always told them the bank 'ud break,
an be the death OVEN, and they only
laughed at me. 0chonel ..what'll be-
come Of lone woman, widout hus-
bant or childer." 1t appeared that
her husband and two sons were EN-.
ployed at a sand bank, and hearing
that bank was "bruk," as she ex.
pressed it, she at once thought the
particular snk..where all the wife and
mother had to love were ut work, had
fallen upon, and buried them, a moi
unfrequent catastrophe.
When made tounderstand the differ
ence between n bank Of deposit and q
bank Of sand, she was in hurry tc
run back hume TO be sure all was right
but so much was she enfeebled by ag.
itation. that a glass Of water had to b.
procured for her. and accompanied t.
herhome, where she fell on her knees
TO thank the Holy Virgin. when sh,
found her family all comfortably.seat

ken them home to supper with him
and their unaccustomediab hat

had just then heard Of the bank break

others, deserted the sinking wreck Of

Chicago Tribune, Wentworth gave the

guage:
He is reported to have said. tho 9th.

would have been good for five years
longer had not Douglas knocked IL on

We bring out our Baby Walker"
this week, not to celebrte the downfall
Of the strongholds of Sevastopol. tho
these were giving way before the guns
Of the Allied Powers. at the latest
date, and doubtless. ere this, are
mass Of ruins.--Not to rejoice in the
humbling OF Louis Napoleon, by a
bombardment Of Paris, for he has had
the good sense to learn a lesson from
the fate Of Graytown, and back out
from lis foolish position. Il will be
seen by reference TO aa article in an
other part Of this paper. that he invites
Hon(?) Mr.. soule to pass through his
dominions. We are glad Of this. as ii
will: save world Of gas and diploma
cy. Moreover. we doubt whether IL
would be AS easy to lombard Paris.
and yindicatc Mr.. Soule's honor, as It
was to lombard Graylown in behalf Of
insulted Mr.. Borland. Il might be
a game at sa,ch two would play, and.
on the whole. be troublesome affair.
But il is not on this account that we
bring out our gun.-Neither is il on
account Of the results Of the late cleo
tons. That we arc pleased with these
may easily be imagined. We are par
ticularly pleased with the election Of
Clark, the temperance candidate, for
Governor, though il be but by majori-
ty Of 268, as the latest date show
Considering the fact that thousands Of
dollars were spent by the liquor sellers
Of New York, and by other govern
ment officials, to secure the election
of Seymour, the man who vetoed the
temperance bill last winter, and who
endorsed the Nebraska Swindlc, We
might afford to bring out both our gun
and chicken but for the overshadow-
ing, but bloodless victory, recently a.
chieved by our government. in the re-
moval Of the Know Nothing Post
Master at Millyillc, Ohio, and the ap-
pointment OF an Irishman in his steadl
Compared with this, the victory at
Graytown is nothing. Let Know No
thing Post Masters look out! AS En-
peror Napoleon, and the rest of the
world learned alesson from the fate
of Graytown. so should Know Nothing
Post Masters profit by the fate Of Mr..
Hill.

SERVING AN ArrAoHmRNr.

IL is known that our sheriff keeps a
goodly number Of bailifs, among
whom are some good looking oidish
young men. that might have been
married long ago IL they had wanted
to. The following anecdote is told,
in substance, Of the way an attach
ment was served some place. We
don't say, positively, that it occurred
in this county. and we would not say
il old not for less than aquarter.
Z A buxom young widow had been
subpenaed to attend Court. but for
reasons not necessary TO relate. she
neglected. whereupon an attachment
was issued, and an unmarried man
dispatched to serve it. Nothing 10th.
but rather enjoying the service, he was
soon at the widows. waiting for her
to make her appearance in the parlor
She soon entered, dressed in her Sun
days, and appeard highly delighted to
see her guest. After the usual salu-
tations, the deputy remarked
Madam, have an attachment for
you"
The widow made a desperate effort
to blush. dropped her head. twirled
her thumbs, and at length replied.
"well sir. l think I can say it is re-
ciprocated."
The deputy. understanding her TO
mean that she acknowledged the SER
vice. and would in due time be ready
TO 20, waited few minutes; but
finding her not moving. concluded he
would hurry her along. by saying
MADAM. will you proceed to
Court? 4"
Proceed to Court T" said the la
dy. almost fainting. LA no sir. this
is not leap year, you may do the
counting yourself"
II was now the deputy's turn to
blush and be embarrassed. He soon
recovered enough however TO stammer
out
"Come madam, the Judge is whit
ing for u.s.
"The Judge, indeed, said the lady,
Indignantly. Do you think | am
going to be married by Judge p
Never sir, assure you. >"
"But madam" said the Bailia;
t"they are waiting for as ut the Court
House"
"Worsc and worse sir, you not on.
ly spoke TO the Judge to marry us,
without consulting me, but you have
chosen the Court House as the place.
Never, sir You wish to insult me
do you j.? Great attachment you have
for me sir BegOne sir, and if ever
yon come about this house again. pro.
Tossing TO have an attachment for me,
I'll give you the broomstick sir"
Whether that Bailiff ever got that
witness Ito Court" we leave the read
er to imagine.

rHrsou1r QUESTION SETTLED.

We publish below, articles from the
New York Times and Herald, from
which 1t appears that the "Soule DIFF.
ficulty" has been a brief one, Louis
Napoleon backing out, denying that
any insult to the United States was in
tended, and Withdrawing the order
excluding Mr.. Soule from France. 1t
is said this course was dictated by
England, and as appears that the Or
der excluding Soule vas! given not on
grounds personal to him alone, but on
account Of the treatment Of Dillon,
the French Consul at San Francisco,
and the conduct of the French rcfu-
gees In New York when the French
vessels .of-wsr were in that port. An
article in the Constitutional, which is
supposed to have been written by Louis
Napoleon himself. cites these facts to
justify his refusal to permit soule to
pass through France. The Emperor
has reconsidered the matter. however,
and now invites Mr.. Soule 10 pass
through France on his way to Madrid.
From the New York Times.
TnE SouLE QUESTION SRrrLEDl-We
have private letter from well in
formed source in London, written at
the last moment before the closing Of
the mail. saying that che French Gov
ernment has ,CiAdrapa all objections 10
Mr.. So9le's passing through france"
II is also stated that the English Gov
eminent feel agood deal of uneasiness
about the matter, on various grounds.
Ii dreaded the reaction which the
French Emperor's treatment Of Mr..
Soule would create towards the Wes-
tern Powers. and was especially alarm
ed at his readiness to enter into new
quarrels while in alliance with Eng
land. II our correspondents state
ment as TO the issue Of the matter is
true, las we have reason 10 believe il
is.-the result has very probably been
brought about by tho Intervention or
advise Of the English Government.
From another private letter from
London, written. ALSO on the eve Of the
steamers departure, and based on
telegraphic dispatches from Paris. we
learn the following facts corobarating
the above:
"Louis Napoleon had personal in
terview with Mr.. Mason, in which he
withdrew the restraints upon Mr..
Soule's passage thu ugh the French
territory, disclaimin. all intention Of
insult to the United States Govern
ment in the person OF its Envoy. The
manner Of the Emperor was dry and
curt. and il is believed that this dis
claimer was a diplomatic move, under
stood 10 have been dictated by Eng
