SECRET CONSEQUENCES OF NAPOLEON THE
Fnsr-From the proof slips Of . work in
press by Appleton h Co., we give in another
part of this paper some characteristic speci-
mems of the secret correspondence Of Napoleon
the First with his brother Joseph on public
affairs. These letters, written within two or
three days Of the fatal day of Waterloo, have
but little in them significant of that tremen-
dous disaster to Napoleon and to civilization;
but they are none the less interesting on that
account. The letter of the faithful Bertrand,
descriptive of the last days and death of the
Emperor at St. Helena, is remarkably touch
ing and beautiful; and that of Louis Nap oleon
from New York to his uncle Joseph, concern
ing the failure Of "the Strasbourg adventure"
is eminently Napoleonic. From these samples
our readers will be enabled to form some idea
of the value of the forthcoming compilation,
comprising over thousand lie tiers, fresh to us
from the archives of France. Had England
fifty years ago understood her true policy, and
followed it, her present overwhelming national
debt would have been avoided; nor would she
now, under the third Napoleon, be submissive
ly engaged in the vain effort to undo the
wrongs which she committed against herself
and mankind under Napoleon the First Suf-
fee it that "the Emperor" is indicated and
avenged.

BAcHE ON THE GuIR SrREAM-A couddera-
BILE portion Of our space 10 this morning dsvot-
ed to lecture read on Thursday BY Profess
sor A. J. Bache on the Gulf Stream. The lee
ture was read on the occasion Of the anniver-
sary Of the American Geographical Society,
and was received with great attention and in
terest by an intelligent and numerous au-
dience.
Assuredly it deserved NO less Embracing
the whole subject Of the phenomenon, as well
in it's historical and practical as in its scienti-
fc aspects, it conveys an amount Of informa-
ton which will be vainly sought elsewhere in
the best furnished libraries It gives brief
sketch Of those admirable works-the coast
snrveys--works, we may observe, that are
doing more to shed lustre on the United States
and the present age than the most brilliant
I'd form the net results Of the explorations and
experiments of the chief officers engaged. In
fine, it shows what has been done-what bene-
fit has accrued-what we know Of the Gulf
Stream, and what yet remains to be learned
and to be accomplished.
through its pages in search Of interesting tit
bits Tor this notice. We may, however,
draw attention to the very interesting
notice of the connection of Benjamin
Franklin with the Gulf Stream. When he
was Postmaster under the old colonial regime,
the Board OF Customs at Boston represented
to the Lords Of the Treasury that the packet
ships which carried the mails between Falmouth
and New York were on an average fortnight
longer on the way than the merchant vessels
trading between Rhode Island and London
Franklin heard Of the representation, and find
ing that the facts we're correctly stated, puz-
zled himse If to account for phenomenon so
wholly at variance with theory and measure
ment. In his perplexity he applied to an old
Nantucket fisherman, and asked him whether
he could solve the riddle. The Nantucket man
put his finger on the joint at once. The
English captains, said he, ore ignorant of the
existence OF current we call the Gulf Stream:
the Rhode Island vessels are commanded by
Americans, who know the current and take
advantage of or avoid it at need. Franklin,
inGiDg that the current made o difference of
three miles an hour to sailing vessel had
chart engraved with the course of the current
marked upon it. But the captains of the
packets, it seems, sighted the information;
DOR would turn out Of their course, and sail
cut of the current into the still water, even
when the American sailors they met hallooed
to them that they were sailing against cur
rent. 1t was not till much later times that
this was made to serve purpose in the econo-
ny of the world.
Many interesting facts, which may be new
to some of our readers, are given in the lee
ture. Among other things we find that the
extreme depth of the ocean in the latitude Of
Florida and the West Indies is not over $40
fathoms. Prof. Bache's refutation Of the old
theory that the ocean has no bottom, hardly
needed the evidence Of this fact to confirm it.
