Correspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune.
KINGSTON Canada, July 20, 1857.
Your readers will readily recall the memory Of the
terrific gale that on the 4th Of November, 1856,
swept the western lakes and wrecked many a
stout bark, carrying desolation and mourning to
many a hearth and heart; but in no instance was
the ruin more complete than in the case Of the j.
w. Brooks. Bound from Detroit TO Ogdensburg
with valuable cargo of copper, pork taIow, lard,

sent two tugs that TO wed her eight miles more,
but in crossing deep the chains parted and she
went down. She was then abandoned, and rested in
peace.
About June l. Messrs. Clark, Cowles and McCarty
left Buffalo with schooner and air pumps, dresses
and three divers, on voyage OF exploration. Having
secured the services Of Mr.. Crawford a confden-
tsI man in the employ of Messrs. Calvin & Breck,
they proceeded t the vicinity when she broke away,
and guided by Mr. Crawford's ranges, run out a
sweep line which inclosed the lost wreck in its first
haul. Soundpgs were taken and fourteen fathoms
found. The schooner hauled to the spot, and

Dinkelspiel & Meyers, but from what cause We did
not ascertain. The stock of Messrs. d. & NJ. was
damaged to the amount Of 5000. Messrs Ves &

of several thousand dollars by water. The losses Of
the parties are fully covered by insurance, but in what

Those who worship him are men who have every
thing to make and nothing to lose. But those VINO
have much to lose, give his memory rather the
cold shoulder. The Abbots have made Q little Tor,
tune out of his "life," and so has ~leadley. ana
we have in this country no fewer than nine post,
offices, or villages, called Marengo, in the United
States. There is in Alabama, a whole country
after this renowned battlefield. But, whatever
mny be the appreciation here of the memory OF
Napoleon and his battles, there seems to he niue
of it in Eurone, even while the admirable tact ci
Napoleon III keeps all Europe steady. Were the
field Of Marengo within two miles of q city OF w.,
600 persons, in this country, and on the line OF
such a railway, it would not long want q purcha-
ser at such a price, In fact that part of Europe Is
running down. With powerful Austria, cordially
hating Sardinia, and its liberal constitution, what
moro likely than that the country should be DESC
lated and dcspoiled. ln case of war even between
Austria md France, this would again become n
natural battle. ground. 1t is in such circumstan-
ces that the value Of real estate must and does
ever decline.
A few years ago there was n regularly formed
plan on the part Of n large body of the French
army, countenanccd by men high in command, II
not by the Emperor Napoleon himself, to pick q
quarrel with Belgium, ar d march on the old battle
field, Waterloo, to lower the mound erected there
by the allied armies after the ground had been pur
chased by the British government. And yet
while so sensitive and ready to destroy the monu
ments of the tragic close Of Napoleon rs career
it seems strange that none can be found to pre-
serve with equal zeal the monuments of its aus
picious opening.
After the termination of Napoleon's fortunes
and when he had become the lonely exile at st
Helena, n number of his faithful officers resolved
to ~emigrate to this country. They did so,and Con
gress gave them the county in Alabama, now cal
led Marengo, on which they were to settle, plan
vineyards, and thus Introduce the culture OF the
vine. But the old soldiers did not know how tC
turn their spears into pruning hooks, and the en-
tcrprise proved a perfect failure. In q few years
hardly a Frenchman remained in the county

was not until he was nearly dead that the mis-
take was discovered. This led to the dis

NAPOLEAN sURRENDERING.

The correspondent Of the Nltionll Era writing
from Paris gives the following:
On tho 9Th of this month, the courtyard Of the
Tullleries afforded an uncommon spectacle, remind
ing me of the terrible scenes Of the great revolu-
ton. Six hundred huckstresses, descendants of
the famous |tisherwomen who carried Louis XVI
from Versailles to Paris, went in a formidable pro.
cession to the Tuillories, to see the EN- peror, and
lay before him their grievances, talking and ges
ticulating as if their lives were ut stake, They
made q halt before the Pavilion de lIIorloge, and
entered into q consultation, which resulted il
sending a committee of three to his Imperial
Majesty,
Napoleon had just then ''other fish to fry" and
left the reception of that formidable com mittee OF
three to his Grand Chamberlain, who listened
patiently to the complaints laid before him, viz
shat the fish erwomen had had u meeting, and re,
solved to send only six hundred Of their sisterhood
to see his Majesty, and humbly bring to his notice
the awful calamities which would result from tbs
distribution Of the stalls in the new marke'
halls.
The Chamberlain pacifed their wounded feelings
as well as he could, by promising to communicate
their complaints to his Majesty, who is said t
have sent without delay for the architects and car
penters to arrange the stalls in such a manner a
to satisfy his dear children Of the great market
lest they might be tempted to carry him from Pari
to Versailles.
