Court.
Aster spsekins Of shs srsTs scenes
which have nom tine y tune occurred In
and around absns shs Palace Of the Tuil-
loriss, Dr.. Baird related The following
amusing occurrence In = lecture st 81.
Louis, recently:
Shortly amer Bonspsrto was made Fiut
Consul, and had inilallsd himself in the
Palace Of the Tuillsriss, he hsld grand
reception and ball. Dus he experienced
at that early day Of his career ne little
difficulty in organizing hIs court and max.
ins matters 90 smoothly. The cid No.
blesse, the splendid ornament OF the de-
posed regime, we're sons-hsd nom the
country with the last remains OF royalty
itself. All was new now in the Palace OF
the Tuillcrics, furniture, people and ev-
erything else.
On the occasion referred 10 the place
was filled; four or Eve thousand people
were there, many for the FIRST time IN their
lives. Military officers OF all grades and
their wives, constituted the largest and by
far tho most self-important portion Of the
company. When the supper was ready,
the ladies' were summoned fst the gen.
,lemen being under the necessity Of wait
ing until their "betters" were served
Two thousand ladies', showily II not taste
fally dressed rusl.ed forward to the doors
Of tho great dining hall, ono Of the lsrg-
est AID most splendid dining rooms In
Europe. The great folding doors were
closed, and the officers Of the palace found
it impossible to get thsm open. for the la
dei pressed against thom, and were en-
gagged in high dispute among themselves.
as to who of them had the entree Of yiglst
to go first. Gus lady said the right was
hers, for her husband was great General;
but soon found that Others maintained,
on one ground or another, that their claims
were greater.
Meanwhile the officers could not get
the doors open, and in conformation one ol
them hastened 70 the Firt Consul, ard
asked how they should esttls the question
Of precedence. TO-" said Bouspsr,s, mo.
thing is easier; tell them that tho oldest il
to 50 fiut!" Ths olicsr reported t. the
ladies the First Censups decision, and 10.
stantly they all fell hack. This gave ths
officers an opportunity 10 get the doom
open, when to THAR sstouishmsnt none ol
the ladies were willing to GO int Afts'
standing in that ridiculous position for =
moment they began to laugh hcsrtily al
their own folly. and all marched into ths
dining hall without further dslay. Thia
said b., is one Of the thousand snd .ns
stories they still tell in Paris Of the "GresI
Napoleon" to illustrate the readiness o.
his wit.

he was ordered to leave the State. Mr.
Jones interposed in behalf of the Major
but. so far from his efforts being of any

reason that they viewed him as only in the
capacity of private citizen, and conse-

THE preliminary surveys to demon
strate the praclicability of constructing the
Honduras lnteroceanic Railway are slowly
progressing. There is no doubt as to the
feasibility Of the route, except at one point,
known rs the summit. Whether this may
be passed is. as yet, extremely problemat-
ical Lieut.. VIM. N. LETTERS, Of the u S.
Navy, who has recently completed sur
vey of the harbor at Tiger Island, in the
Bay of Fonseca, the terminus on the Pa
cifc coast, reports favorably as to the ad-
vantages which the harbor presents for
shipping. At the urgent request Of the
company, after the completion of the above
survey Lieut.. LETTERS has taken charge of a
party. which is to make reconnaissance Of
part of the route, from the Pacific side ;
and from his extensive practical experience
in Typographical engineering, he will GER
tainly prove a most important aid to the
company.
" In Honduras the cholera, which has
been raging for sometime, has broken out
with fresh violence, and among the victims
is Gen. San Martin, exPresident of the
Republic. and two of his daughters.
=" Costa RIGA won't hear of Nicaragua
making any grant of the transit route to
Vanderbilt. There is evidently strong
feeling of animosity breeding between the
two States, and it would not be surprising
if ere long it broke into open war. Costa
Rlca Is quite saucy after her campaign in
Nicaragua, and thinks herself a match for
all creation, and Nicaragua is doubtless
sore upon the point of owing her liberia
ton from Walker to her little neighbor.
" A report had reached Punta Arenas
by the Sarapique mail that Nicaragua had
seized the San Juan River boats in the name
of Vanderbilt. The correctness of this
statement was doubted, and as we have re-
ceived no confirmation of it by way of San
Juan del Sur. Ito Sept 3D. it is probably

Under this state Of things, and with the facts and
experience Of the past and the present before US,
ought we not, as people, to throw ourselves back
upon the constitutional currency, and utterly refuse
to charter any new bank in the FUTURE or echartet
any one now in existence? Let them die out, they
are but legalized swindling shops; and since we
must pass monied crisis. let US make the work
complete, 80 that when We outgrow the pressure
we may grow prosperous upon sound and substan-
tial basis. General Jackson and the Democratic
party fought paper money out of existence as a
National currency, and it remains for the Democra-
CT crush it out a State currency. The reasons
urged in the one case are equally forcible in the
other. Drive paper money out of existence, and
in the language ofThos. H. Benton, "gold will flow
up the Mississippi, and glitter through the interster
ces of every farmers long silken purse" Drive
out the worthless bank trash, and you reduce the
inflated to the real standard of prices and in do
ing this "you cover the country with benefits and
blcssings."

Important from India--Fall
Of Lucknow.
Correspondence of the n. Y. Herald.

CALCUTTA, Aug. 10.
Lucknow, the capital city of Dude, has
fallen; all the Europeans have been massa-
cred by Nenajee Sahib; and the relief force
under Gen. Havelock, mas been obliged to
fall back upon Cawnpore, terribly decima-
ted by the cholera. There is every reason
to believe that this news, discouraging as
it is, is true. 1t is not stated on what day
the garrison of Lucknow surrendered, or
was overcome by the rebels; but it must
have been about the first of the present
month. That city contains population
of about 800, 900 Mohammedans, who prob
ably fra!ernized with the besiegers, and
rendered the destruction of the Europeans
speedy and certain.
We have intelligence this morning that
Gen. Havelock, at Cawnpore, or the 18th
inst, had received reinforcement, and
had moved on again towards Lucknow in
pursuit of the rebel army. The rebellion
and carnage are now getting nearer and
nearer to Calcutta. Dinapore and Birham
pore have mutined, and large number of
the rebels are coming down the Ganges in
boats. But the Dinapore rebels have been
defeated, and five of the boats containing
them have been sunk by our artillery, and
five hundred of the rascalS killed. Arrah
has been relieved.

Low Prices.

The low price of all kinds of produce
and the stringoncy in the money market
creates deplorsble inactivity in all de-
paltments of business. 1t was thought by
merchants and business men generally,
that when the fall crops were brought into
market, that "Times would be easier;;" but
the uncommon low prices which are offer,
ed to the producer, together with the crisis
in money matters, are sufficient reason
for the dullness of the business prospects
throughout the country. 1t was thought,
soon after the wheat markets were opened,
that prices would be better for the seller,
after there was enough brought IN TO make
it an object for men of capital to engage in
the trade, but instead of increasing, they
have grown gradually small, and beauti.
fully less" and the prospects for liberal
reward to the tillers of the soil, are poorer
now than they have been for several years.
We have talked with several of the farmers
in this county. relative TO tie sale of their
wheat, and, with very few exceptions, we
find that they propose to wait for higher
prices, and by so doing compel their cred
itors to wait on them. This is state of
affairs much to be deplored especially when
there is no prospect that the prices will be
any higher--but, on the contrary, a deci-
ded reverse of such anticipations. 1t is
no. strange that the farmers, after getting
75c@9 3 80 for their wheat, are 10th to take
500 6Oc. and receive therefor, money that
is liable any day, to become worthless. We
well remember the time when SOC. per
bushel was considered good price; but
times changed, and the farmers received
more; they have changed again, and they
received about as much as formerly, with
one advantage--that is. they can purchase
their dry goods and groceries for about
one half what they formerly had to pay.
We are pleased to notice the farmers are
not disheartened, but putting in larger
crops than they had last year, and intend
making up in quantity what they lack in
price. This is the proper method of re-
deeming themselves from the thralldom of
debt, which crisis like this is calculated
10 entail.

From Central America.

A Panama correspondent of the n. Y.
Herald, writing under date of the 18th ult.,
says
"From Nicaragua there is no impor-
tant news other than it is expected the
State will ere long be ravagod by civil war
again, as there is little harmony of senti-
ment existing between the aristocratic and
the popular or democratic factions into
which the State is divided.
In Costa RIGA all is quiet. w. Carey
Jones. Esq. on whose mission but little
light has yet been thrown, still remains in
that State. From an incident which re-
Gently transpired it is probable he will have
no further dirlomatical communication with
The Costa Rican Government /; the facts
connected with which are rs follows: In
previous communication from Punta Are
mas | detailed the arrival at that port of a
party Of .illibusters from Rivas, the last of
Walkers army, who, at the period of the
capitulation, were unable from wounds or
disease to be removed, and who at that
time were left under the care of DR.. Roy
ston, one of Walkers surgeons. Along
with this party, who were sent to Punta
Arenas, came Major Stroebel, together
with his wife, an American lady. Major
Stroebel had been connected with Walker
army AS typographical engineer. On his
arrival at Punta Arenas, he was offered a
passage to Panama, along with the other
party who were brought down by the sloop
of war Decatur. but he preferred to remain.
stating that he had received offers of en-
ployment from General Canas. to superin-
tend the surveying Of a route for wagon
road from San Jose to some point on the
Atlantic. whence the productions OF the
country could be shipped, instead of Punta
Arenas, as is done at present. But the
project Of the wagon road appears to have
been abandoned, and the Major to have fall
en- under the ban Of the late decree, order
ins all who had been connected with the
