A KING Down A HAToHwav.-One
day, when the flag ship of an Ameri
can Commodore was lying in the bay
Of Naples, she was houored by a visit
from The King and royal family, with
suites IN gilded barges, and the full pa
rade of royalty. The ship was dressed
from deck 10 truck in hclyday attire !;
side.boys were mustered at the ropes,
the marines presented arms, the guns
Numbered forth royal salute, and
the commodore welcomed his guests
to the quaater deck with the politeness
betting an officer of rank.
One Of the suit, spindle shanked
and gaudily at.ired Neapoli'au, strayed
away form the party, and, cruising
about miJships, espied a windsail
an object be had never seen before
AS 1t was fully expanded BY the air,
he took II for q pillar, and foldining
bis arms, leaned against it, when it
yielded to his wheight, and he dis
appeared below, heels over head with
velocity that was actually marvellous
as was bis escape from injury. The
mishap CHANGED to have only one wit
ness. This was veteran tar, who
approached the quarter deck and
touching his hat. said respectively, L
beg pardon commodore, but one Of
them are Kings has fallen do'sa the

Interesting about the Empress
Eugene.

A correspondent, writing from Paris
Oh the 5th of March, says:
From this day the Empress will not
leave her apartments. All the requisite
arrangements are made and the medical
men at their posts. Paris is expecting
ut any moment to hear the salute of
cannon. They have just printed two
programmes of the ceremonies to be OBJ
served, one for the birth and the other
for the baptism of any Imperial Prince
aud Princess. The rite of Baptism will
be performed on the day after the birth,
in the Imperial Chapel, by the Grand
Almoncr of the Court, in presence Of the
Curate of Saint Germain rAuxerrois,
the parish of the Tuillerics; of the Arch
bishops, of the Metropolitan Chapter, of
the grand dignitaries and functionaries
of the Empire. Should it be aLPrince,
the Grand Chancellor of the Legion of
Honor will bring the Grand Gordon of
the Order and Military Medal; the
Grand Marshal of the Palace will take
him to his arms and will carry him back
to his apartments. 1t is seriously III
contemplation to give him the title of
" Ning OF Algeria.
1t appears it is certain. fsays another
letter from Paris, that the Pope will be
the godfather of the infant, Prince Tor
Princess,) of the Emperor. His Holt
ness will probably be represented by an
extraordinary Envoy, unless he comes
himself to Paris. The godmother of
the imperial infant will be the Queen of
Sweden. Her Majesty is cousin of the
Emperor, she being tho daughter of the
Prince Eugene, Duke of Leuchtenburg,
whose sister was the Emperor's mother
and both are consequently grandchildren
of the Empress Josephine. II was ru-
mored for the 10th time to-day that the
Empress had actually been delivered,
but while the report was circulating at
the Bourse and elsewhere, her Majesty
was driving with the Emperor in the
Champs Elysees, where they we're seen
at 3 o'clock. -

JUsr AS WE ExPEcTEn.-The follow.

The trouble here has grown out of the
abolitionists-I mean the political ones
who think they can buster and brag
here as they do in Massachusetts,, and

APRIL -ELEcTION.

We hope Democrats will bear in mind
the election of township officers which
takes place next Menday-the 9TH inst.
The result of this election in the several
townships is Of the utmost Importance
to the Democratic cause. Let Demo-
Gratis see to it hat the Board of Trus-
tees are coed men, and free from every
faint of Know ~Nothingism. The Presi-
dentinl election comes off next fall, and
no effort will be spared to deprive for.
eigners of their votes, They will go in
a body for the Democratic ticket, and it
i, of vital Importance that the Trustees
should be men of known integrity and
avowed opponents of Know Nothingism.
We advise Democrats in every township
to organize, and urge cut the voters.
In this township, Democrats appear
to be but half awake to the importance
of the coming election. lift is deemed
expedient not to run q regular Demo
cratic ticket, let it be seer to that the
new Board is composed of good men.
We shall probably have a large foreign
vote in this township next fall, if the
Rail Road progresses. Our individual
preference is, for q st~raight-out Demo
cratic ticket, and a straight-out set
Of candidates. We Infinitely prefer
defeat TO disorganizaticn. If it is deem
cd cxpcdient to make nominations, q
meeting for that purpose should be call.
