TIE FRENCH PEoTEcroRATE FOR NrcARAsUA.-
Under date of the l6th the Washington correspond
ent of the Baltimore Sun writes
The report that NJ. Belly has actually concluded
contract with the Nicaraguan Government, by which
the latter has conceded to the French Government,
or to a company in France, which is under the pro-
lection OF the Government finds credit here and else
where. 1t is not improbable, inasmueh as Lonis Ma
poeon had for long time, cherished the project of
immortal2ing his name by connecting it with the
colonization of this isthmus. While in prison at
Hayre be corresponded with Mr.. Marcoetta on the
subject and strongly expressed his desire and nten-
ton to undertake the work. The time is exceedingly
favorable to his purpose for he is at peace with all
Europe, and begins to find it necessary to start some
public project for the qualification Of the French
people, and the employment Of the French marine,
and give profitable direction to French speculation
and enterprise.
1t is part Of his plan, or course, to open the
transit to the whole world and thus the United States
will enjoy its benefits n common with the rest of the
world, but on such terms the Emperor may choose
to prescribe. If the contract has been closed we
shall see the ports either side OF the Isthmus
in the hands of the French.
For eight years Napoleon has patiently awaited
the result Of the efforts of England the United States
and Nicaragua, separately or in combination, to es
tablish this convenience and their incompetency
to the task has been fully tested, it time for Ma
| poleon to take the matter in hand

PHENOMENA OF A ToRNADo--From an account
in the Baltimore American of a recent tornado in
that State, we extract the following
A survey was made of the damage done, when it
was found that the course of the tornado quite
straight, and just about hundred yards in width.
Some of the trees measured full sixteen inches i'll
diameter and there not less than thirty of them
which lay upon the ground within short distance of
each other. 1t is stated that ON each side Of the
course of the tornado the trees fell in towards each
other which can only be accounted for on the pho-
sophie supposition of vacuum having been caused
by the swiftness of the wind One old gentleman, on
his way to- meeting, lost his horse, such was the
rapdty with which the water raised and the swollen
condition of stream which he endeavored unsueeess
fully to ford. Another was compelled to shoulder
his good betterhalf and carry her considerable dis
tance throuo oh a stream

Heard good story the other day. Not exactly
local, but eminently national, il involves famous
politician and an exPresident, who hate each other
tremendously. Two or three years ago the railroad
routes between Albany and Buffalo consolidated,
you remember, under the title OF the New York Cen
tral. Thurow Weed, of the Albany Evening Journal,
engineered the matter through the Legislature, and
for this service to receive the handsome sum of
SS000 Of which Erastus Corning was to furnish
81 900 and Dean Richmond 81 4,000
The plan succeeded and the money was paid over.
But as Mr.. Weed didn't think it would look well to
have the stock stand in his name, he had made
to old and very particular friend of his, Mr..
Mcintosh, who had money as a railroad contractor.
It was understood between the parties that Mcintosh
was to hold the stock and then quietly make it over
to Weed. But unluckly, Mcintosh died suddenly,
one fine day. and forgot to leave will. So the ad-
mnistrators in making up account Of the assets,
stumbled upon the certificates for this $4,000, and pvt
them down to McInoshs credit, supposng of courst,
they were his.
The debts were paid, and handsome balance was
left for the widow, the attractive Mrs. Mcintosh, who
married Mr. Ex President Fillmore Thurlow's eight
thousand dollars went along with the widow into the
arms of the man whom Thurlow hates, probably as
bad as one man can hate another
