PariS GOssiD,

The whole of the diplomatic and aristo-
cratic world are quite en- J air with the ex-
citemcnt produced ny the unfortunate deta!-
cation Of the young Prince de p, which
has been valnly husucd up l0r the last fort
night by the dlplomates, but which has 2 t
abroad through another channel, with WINCH
diplomacy has much 10 do IN all countries,
and which has generally been the means OF
suffering the most important secrets to h'a'
out into the sea vi publicity. Ii is most
likely that you should be aware already OF
the main fac,s of the case through the Jour
nails. The Empress OF Russia had despatch
ed 10 the Queen CT Portugal suit OF silver
sables, @ltn other rich ana costly Presents
worthy to be transferred from one crowned
head 10 aaother. Tho bearer OF these tTea-
sures was a great fsVorite and protege OF the
Emperor Alexander; his mother Is high IN
ulh &c about toe person OF the Empress; auu
the mission upon which ne was thus s'nt
was considered as merely an excuse Tor loac-
ing him with honors and favors upoa his re-
turn. But the youth has never got further
than Paris. Here be still lies, chained aud
bound 10 the rosy tctters Of the Comtesse de
Caumsrtiu; aud quite cuutent 50 to remain,
as long as that lady will consent to tighten
the fetters which bnd hun closer to her side.
1t was, then, III the siikeu net thrown out by
one of the syrens that the young Prince L.
was induced TO throw the sable Muh and
Victoria destined for the Queen OF Portugal,
ALWAYS hs says, with the tuil conviction that
h. would DO euabled To replace them by writ
in, to his mother ut 81. Petersburg. But
his consideration may be Imagined when he
was told that 90 money could replace that
peculiar silver sable; aud it Was just because
it was unique that 1t had 6oen sent as pre-
sent 70 the Queen OF Pyrtugai. Inc aui-
bassadJr has been called IL; but toe FAR
Comtesse deties him. She UW not give up
the valuable furs, but willingly consents TO
return the diamonds, which, not considering
Of sufficient value to wear, she had placed
round the dial plate of the clock which orna-
meots her dressing room. The Emperor has
b,en applied to 10 this dilemma; but he could
only reason with laughing philosophy upon

/, is a source of congratulation, TO the
stcckh ol4crs OF the Virginia Central road,
and to the ) ate at large, to know, that while
the regenues upon most Of the leading roads
az the North have suffered a decrease, the
revenues Of this road, and the roads OF Viz

The increase Ut the Central road was about
10 per cent.
The decrease on the Baltimore and Ohio,
one Of the most tavorably located and best

& about - per cent.
Another most gratifying comparison is 10
the smaller per centage Of expense IN conduct

x,,xuI,rand Fatal Accident,

with heavy knives or cutters placed at equal
distances on It's circumference. Some disar-

to reach into the wheel and adjust it while 1t
was still revolving. In this, however, be
miscalculated the speed at which the msohl-

the neck, completely sesering the upper and
back portion Of the skull, 90 line close to
the top OF the ears, and cutting through and

The most singular circumstance was that the
man, IN this horribly wounded condition,

other workmen were, and afterwards walked

There is a '.little giant" in the wsy-but
they get rid of him by predicting on one side
tha, he is to make "a coalition" with Hunter,
and, on the other, that he is to join teams
with Wise. The truth is, we expect, that
these letter writers know very little about
what they ore talking. From present ap-
pearances, the friends of Gov. Wise will
urge strenuously the nomination OF their ia
vorite by the Charleston Convention; but, if
Douglas, is the accepted one, they will acqui-
esce cAeertully. So, it lie probable, the
friends of Mr.. Hunter will urge him as the
nominee; but, if, still, Douglas Should be

the state of affairs at present. How the
