recent visit to England, such as Zone bnt the
smsrtestfascal of the age @ ouId have elici.
ted from them; but there are some little in.
cidents connected with his visit which are
not to be overlooked. The Democrats and
foreign refugees in London had pretty strong
hints that they would be expected, and that
it would be 10 their interest, TO keep 'quie'
during the entertainment; and the chiefs
among the refugees are understood to have
counselled their fellow.exiles 10 refrain
from offering any insult to England's guest,
as only harm 10 their cause would result
from an attempt 10 gel up a counter demon
s~tration.
Considerable excitement was caused in
London, BY a report that a French refugee
had attempted to shoot the Emperor, while
returning 10 Buckingham Palace. II turned
out, however, that the mar had only attemp.
ted 10 throw a letter into the carriage. He
was, of course, Immediately arrested. Sew
eral persons, said to be Charisls, were ar.
rested for gathering a crowd and circulating
hsndbills of the following description during
the Imperial progress through London:
" E~NcLAxp's pdscRAoE-THE REAL DAY or HU.
IMITATION.
sti Leuls NAPOLEON,
The murderer, the oath breaker, the des.
troyer of The French and Italian Repu blics,
who bribed the soldiers, 10 massacre the
peaceful citizens upon the Boulevards, exil.
ed The best men of France, and paved lis
way TO power with the corpses of u%noffen.
sive men, women. and children, is coming
10 England. Engiishmen, do your duty.
The truth of these accusations is proved
by The Times, Croniels and Advertiser, Of
Dec, ISL, and jan, re"
The papers call this ca great shame"
but a greater shame 10 Englishmen, we
should think, is the manner in which the
London News dishonors the memory of " the
Great Duke" 10 exalt Louis Napoleon. The
Neus says:
"The dead Duke represents something
better. The funeral of the Duke represen.
ted The death of an antique state Of society;
the ,riumphal procession Of the Empero or ty-
plies The advent of a new age. Napoleon
The Third is, in spite of his antecedents, the
herald Of a new order OF things. 1t is he
who by his alliance with England has given
liberty to Europe"
A further rerudiation Of The memory Of the
" Great Duke" on this occasion, out of com
pliment to Louis Napoleon, we find in an
accoun, given in the same paper of the prep
arallons made at Windsor for the French
guests: en-.
The apartments for the personal atten.
dants upon the Emperor and Empress have
also been splendidly fitted up. The whole
OF The rooms have been furnished with new
carpets. One of the most attractive of the
state apartments, it is well known, is the
"Waierleo Chamber This room is hence
forth II DO oalled the Picture Gallery" the
name OF Waterloo being giuen TO o~bl,uion."
So Waterloo, where, according to English
histori les and school-books, the liberties Of
Europe were saved, has been "given to OBJ
l%ivion," 10 avoid offending the "~nephew of
his uncle" Waterloo, certainly, has been
avenged.
American hooks are becoming more and
more sought after in Europe. A popular
work on consumption, by DR.. s. S. Fitch Of
this City, has gone through several sdllions
in England, where j, is exciting a good deal
of attention and discussion. The London
Croniele says: "Our medical schools are
greatly indebted 10 DR.. Fitch, and We are
glad 10 see by their professional periodicals
that they commend bis book. The Doctor
Justly scouts the absurd idea of 'inhalatiou,'
or any enc mode of treatment being sufi-
cient TO cure all cases of consu mption."
The May term of our State Courts opens
to-day, and there are many interesting cases
on their respective oalenders. The Federal
Courts are already in session, and the trial
| of Col. Kinney and Mr.. Fabens will proba-
bly, commence in the United States District
Court this forenoon. In the United States
Circuit Court a motion will be made, to-day,
TO restrain the publication, by De Wilt and
Davenport, Of Miss Josephine Bunkley's
Convent Life. Miss Bunkley, as all who
take The papers" are aware, recently es.
capped from 81. Joseph's Convent, Emmetts-
burg, Maryland. ard proposes 10 tell, in print
some queer stories of the Nuns, Father Con-
lessons, and Lady Superiors of that religious
institution. A sample chapter of her work,
containing some startling disclosures, has
already been put forth by way of a tesler,
and the excitement il has created is indica-
tive of an extensive sale of the entire work.
The author of the book alleges that her
agent, Mr.. Beale, has made arrangements
with De Witt and D%avenporte 10 bring il
out without her consent. They, on the 9TH
or hand, state that they entered into negotia-
tions with Beale in good faith, and that her
remedy, if any, is against him alone. The
litigation, Of course, helps 10 puff the work.
De Witt and Davenport have always sus.
tanned the reputation of a liberal and honor
able publishing house, and, in this case, il
is pretty clear that if any wrong has been
done in the premises they are NOT cosnizant
