PARIsIAs SCANDAL The Par, CORES

PARIsIAs SCANDAL The Paris CORES
pondent of the Etats Unis tells the newest bit
of Parsian scandal. Thus runs the !.ossp:
1.-The gay world Is very much amused.
Just now, with an adventure of the charu
ing Duchess de NJ. Having planned :.
journey for the summer, she had
advertised her country house to let, and,
according to the directions as to where the
owner could be found, the young Count
dA--caled to negotiate for the place.
Arriving at the door, he requested to speak
with her Grace. Come up at once, cried
maid at the top of the stIir-case, Madame
has been very impatient to see you -
With polite attempt to enquire whether
he was understood, but entirely over-ruled
by the takative servant, the Count mounted
the stairs, and was shown at once into the
bedroom of the lady. 'Ah, you are there !
said the lovely Ddches, now, then, ] am at
your service And, throwing herself into
an easy chair, she threw up her aounces,
unclaspsd h'r garter, drew off the silk
stocking, and held out her bare foot to the
astonished young gentleman She and the
maid had both taken him to bs the corn.cut.
ter, who had been sent for that morning
AL Paris, except the Duchess, were quito
amused with the little blunder."

One of the "Do-Nothngs" in Boston, a
dandy promenader of Washington and other
fashionable streets, with sandy whiskers,
thin face, Panama hat, nice fitting gloves
was arrested on Friday, charged with be-
ing an idle person, without home or means
of support. Ofcourss he Indignantly plead
not gsity to such charge, and at the re-
quest of his counsel the examination was
pos tponed until the ID of August next, bail
being required at $40, which at last ac-
counts he had not procured and still in dn-
rance vile Among the witnesses against
him is the brother OF a young lady to whom
he has been paying soms attentions, and
rom whom, according to the brother, he
has Obtained sums of money at various
times, amounting in the aggregate to from
two to three hundred dollars. Other fe-
males, to whom he has been attentive, have
it stated, contributed TO his support and
there are numer rous boarding house keepers,
tailors, &c, &C., who have ".mall bill'
against him.

THE LAST SPLIT AMONG THE Know
NoTHINGs.-It has been already mentioned
that tho Know Nothings Of Louisiana have
broken through the traces, and kicked over
one Of the two principles on which Know
nottingham rests. They have repudiated
the anti Roman Catholic doctrines Of the
party. In their platform, copy OF which
we find in whole length in the New Orleans
Picayune, they denouncs the eighth article
of the platform adopted by the Southern
half of the national convention at Philadsl-
phia, (Which applies to Roman Catholic),
"unjust, unfounded and entirely un-
worthy OF our country" adding-"We shall
forever continue to protest against any
abridgment Of religious liberty, holding it
as cardinal maxim that religious faith 10
a question between each individual and
his God. We utterly condemn any at
tempt to make religious belief test for
POLITICAL office, and can never affiliate with
any party which holds sentiments not in
accordance with these" After all, this is
The only true ground, and anything short of
it is prescription for religions sake, which
never was and never can be the creed of
the true American Protestant.

The PORE COMING An important
revelation has just been made. 1t must be
true, for Vespasian Ellis, editor OF the K. N
organ at Washington, says it is, and took
occasion to announce the awful tact in a
Fourth of July Grafton at that place. The
narrowing state Of uncertainty in which the
public mind has hitherto been on this sub.
ject, will be greatly relieved. There is
comfort even in knowing that the worse
fears are fully realized. Can't some other
patriot of the same school inform the people
that Chief Jusiice Taney also received his
appointment from Rome For the present
let all rejoice in knowing this, which
Vespasian vouches for -
The Pope's Nuncio to Spain, before the
Cabinet. of the President was known to the
public here declared, in Madrid that the
present Postmaster General Catholic
Would be a member Of The Cabinet of Gen.
Pierce! There is other and abundant proof
to confirm the opinion that this appointment
aas secured tollhe Romish hierarchy be-,
fore the Catholic vote aas cast tor the pres
ent incumbent! Let these facts be known to
the American people, and the "American
reformation" will sweep from political pow
er in 1856, the siders and abettors of the
Romish hierarchy, with their followers and
decendants, of all ranks and conditions.

Loss OF Col. KISsEY's VEssEL-Ws
received intelligence yesterday of the loss
on the Csicos Reefs, between St. Domin 20,
and the Bahamas, OF the schooner Emma,
Captain Norris, in which Coloney Kinney
had embarked for Nicaragua with a small
party, numbering twenty in all, exclusive
of the crew. 1t will be recollectcd that
while the government vessels strictly pre-
vented the sailing OF the steamer United
States from New York, Colonel Kinney pri.
vately took his departure in the Emma. on
the 9th of June. The vessels had a sue
css.ful passage until the night of the 10th,
when she struck upon the Calcos Reefs
and proved q total loss with large part
OF the stores and eff, cts OF the passengers.
No lives were lost. The passengers pro-
cssdsd TO Turks Island, which they
reached in five days time. Here
Colonel Kinney was negotiating for
tho charater of another vessel to carry them
to Nicaragua. The intelligence wa.
brought to US by the schooner Active, Capt.
Noorhouse, from Turks Island 3Oth,
which reached this city YESTERDAY. The

ENGLISH IGNORANCE OF AMERIcA.-The
Boston Transcript, says, merchant Of that
city was asked ut dinner party in England
short time since, if there were many peo.
pie in Boston who know the English Ian
guage Another Of our friends was inquir-
ed of in London if the Indians in Boston
worshiped at the same churches as the
white residents? One Of the most recent
instances of this ignorance Of the state OF
affairs in the United States, is letter
from "an officer serving in Canada" pub
li,hed in the Londan Times, who proposes
to raise body of soldiers in Canada for
tho Crimea, by the Queens offering par
don to all the deserters from Her Majesty's
service in the United States. This officer
thinks that at least two thousand men
might be obtained by such means, and rec
commends that officer, should be appointed
all along the frontier to receive back Her
Majesty's runaway subjects. The officer
states that the condition of British deserters
in the United States is worse than that Of
slaves, and that in consequence Of having
broken their oath Of fidelity to their Queen,
their ,oord is not received in our courts 30
that they are unable to sue for their wages,
and are compelled to work for nothing.

One rood effect OF The hot wea tber VI

One good effect OF the hot weather yes
tsaday was to melt down the price Of beef
at Bulls Head about one cent pound
There was o somewhat larger supply Of
cattle in market, and although at loss o.
five to ten dollars a head, drovers we're
obliged to yield to the weather or some 9TH
er cause, and come down in their demands.
The average price was abou. ten cents a
pound for the meat, though some cattle
sold at prices equal to II ll.2c. pound,
but it was by hard pushing. Beef mu.t
come to ten cents for the best, and the
sooner parties conform to what is inevi;a-
bio, the better for all, both producers and
eonsumers.-N. Y. Tribune.

UsELEss AS BUTross. had been the
practice among the attendants Of divine
worship in one Of our Down East Churches
for some Of the youth to lat,on out pewter
buttons, and pass them into the contribution
box. The old Dominic at lengthfslt it his
duty in justice to his pocket, TO check the
the growing evil.
"My dear friends" said he, "some Of you
are in the habit of flattening the eye Of met
al buttons and contributing thereof to the
treasury of the Lord. would simply OBJ

semblapce to ten cent pisce no more
complete, it renders them utterly useless as

The average yearly loss by fires, in New
York, is about two millions.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times writes thus;
"The impression among the diplomatic
corps produced by the late news from Sc
bastopol is represented to me to be of the
most gloomy cast. Continued war is the
only prospect. Continued losses and fail
ures app ar to be the destiny Of all parties
engaged. Russia is,perhaps, suffering least
of all /; yet even Russia is draining the dregs
OF a bitter cup. She commenced the war
tor conquest. she would grasp as bless.
ed boon the restoration Of things as they
stood before tile seizure of the Principalites
She cannot hope to advance her design OF
the absorption of Turkey the most she
can promise herself is the deiverance OF
her territory from iho invader. On
the other side, the expenditures Of the allies
are eating out the vtals Of the people, and
consuming the substance of the land. The
debts contracted, the shipping and meterial
destroyed, the suspenion and diversion of
trade, are aying the foundations of national
and individual bankruptcy, of social misery
and political revolution. Louis Napoleon
must conquer in his struggle with Russia
or be conquered at the end of it by the Red
Republic. Tho British arstocracy must
conquer in the war to which they 80 re
luctanty consented, or the third estate, The
burghers, will certainly conquer them.

A RoMiS .Ic IScIpEsT.-A correspondent
of the Manchester Mirror relates an inter-
esting incident which he says occurred in
| Manchester. He states that in the fall of
lS47 young man came to the city in
quest of inpoyment. After weeks of un-
successful search, he found himself withou.
prospect Of work, and considerable in dept
for board. In despair, he had made art
rangemen,s for disposing OF his clothes by
auction in order to defray his debts, when
letter was sent to him containing TWEEN
ty dollar bill, and directing him to apply
for the situation ofa card-stripper to the
overscer Of one OF the corporations. The
le,ter also requested him to sign note-oi
hand for the amount loaned, and to place it
in certain unoccuped box in the Post
Office, where it would be called TOR by the
lender. The young man did a. he was d.
rccted, and received the situation for which
he had applied, the Overseer stating that it
had been procured for him by the earnest
solicitations of young lady. Years pass
ed away, and all attempts to discover the
name Of the creditor were unavailing, The
young man prospered in business, and at
length pghted his affections to an estima.
Bile young lady with whom he accidsntly
became acqua nted. On the day before
their marriage he received another letter,
requesting him to call at a certain place
and pay the note for twenty dollars, with
interest, which he had sigped some years
before. Anxious to settle an Indictment
which, from the mystery of tho whole affair
hsd occasioned him many unhappy hours,
he hastensd to, the house and was ush-
cred by domestic into parlor, where, to
his infinite astonishment, he discovered in
the person ofths unknown benefactor the
lady to whom upon the next day he was 10

awaiting him. with the note in her hand

tie partnership which followed bids fair to
continue happily through life.
