The mild but firm manner Of the present su-
perintendent Of Markets. we'll tried prudent
manager in other Offices of trusts securing
kind disposition in return from the occupiers
of stalls and stands in the markets, and mar
ket-spaces, and spirit of peace now prevails
in this hostile camp, giving but little occasion
for complaint of offenders in the Police Court.
When complicated duties are discharged, in
spirit of kindness and efficiency, the public
should appreciate the officer. In the six
weeks service of the new officer, delinquents, to
the number of near one hundred, have been no.
tilted to pay their license, and thousand dol
lars have been paid therefor into the City

TuE HORTICULTURAL ExHIBITIoN.-We al
ways hail with pleasure tie displays Of fruit
and flowers with which our excellent Horti-
cultural Society favors us. and more espe-
cially those of each returning Spring, bring.
ing before US the first results Of their Win
ters care, and the types Of the frutfulness of
the coming season. Unpropitious, in many
respects, as, has. been. the opening of this
Spring, the present display has far exceeded
our expectations. The limited space allowed
in the place selected - one Of the fine store
rooms of Pixies Opera Building = has com
pelled each one to select only his choicest
plants and finest fruits, and hero we have
them, the representatives of every cline, all
we'll grown, handsome specimens. Among
them we notice particularly, as finely grown,
Rondeldtria spsciOsa, the E,,phorlia splendeus,
the Cryptomuria ,Japonica, and an old friend
it gives us pleasure to look upon from year to
year, the ArecarG ercelsG, or Norfolk Island
Pine. rf
The plants are tastefully grouped within
sodded borders at each side, near the entrance
and around the fountain at the south end of
the hall, which is placed in the center of a
sodded mound. Along tho sides are tables
bearing the cut flowers and fruits. OF the
latter the strawberries are particularly tempting,
embracing the usual star varieties of this
neighborhoOd, with new competitor, the
Wiison's Albany Sesdliag, of which Mr.. Cary
exhibits some luscious samples.
But few early vegetables are yet in; to-
morrow, however, they win be presented before
the different Committees for report, and the
display will no doubt be good.
The exhibition will continue during the
week, each evening having its own peculiar
attractions. We know of no place where an
hour or two can be spent more pleasantly or
prodtably. '.| t.. ...
We had almost forgotten q very important
feature, namely, the straw berry and cream de-
partment, under its shade of evergreens, where.
after passing through series of temptations,
making your mouth water, you can satisfy to
the fullest extent the sense of taste also. Go,
every body, and take your wife and children
along; or if you haven't them-what is equally
interesting in suoh place--your sweetheart.

(hag-ship) Napoleon, and Impetueso. These
vessels were coaling for cruise in the Ad.
riatc, where they expected 10 be joined BY
others. In the run from Toulon 10 Messina
the French squadron captured an Austrian
merchantman, which was sent into French
port, the Admiral not being aware of the res

The Paris correspondent of the London
Herald, writing on the 18th of May, says !:
have been allowed to see letter from an
officer In paraguay d 'Hilliers' division. The
writer states that the men suffered very se-
verely during their forced march from Genoa
to Gavi, and that the number Of stragglers
was immense. The intemperance the men
had indulged in, moreover, wholly untitled
great many for the hardsbips they had had
to undergo, and there were great many
cases Of dysentery and fever in the camp
hospital.
By this time the whole Of the cavalry and
artillery will have reached their destination,
and the French army in Italy may be set
down without exaggeration at 13O, 900 men.
An action is expected to take place early next
week.

An aged negro, for whom some of the Off
GERS of the Ninth street Station house and
residents near the City Lot have sympathy,
and by whom he has been domiciled in
rude cabin on the lot adjoining the city pris-
on, is demoralizing number of lads who
fret and teaze him SO that the enraged Afri-
can becomes nuisance to passers by more
especially to women. A mistaken regard to
the real interests of General Jackson" as
this veteran darkey is called, is subiecting
young and old to the annoyance of sight and
sound of petulant and hard-swearing old
man, who should be comfortably housed at
the Infrmary.

Extraordinary Story about the Dauphin
of France, Louis XVII.-Did He Die
I'm the Temple or Mott

In the Temple or MOTT -r.- .----
There are stranger things than fiction, even
in modern times, but people will hardly be
prepared for the startling announcement which
was asserted at coroner's inquiry held yes
terday, before Mr.. Wakley, coroner for West
Mlddlesex, that the Dauphin of France, the
unfortunate son Of Louis XVII, did not, as
history states, die con the 9th of June, 17g5,
In the prison of the Temple, after q miserable
confinement Of three years." but that he ex-
pired in London street cab but few days
since, and that the deceased upon whom the
inquest was being held was no other than that
Dauphin, Louis XVII. of France. Such was
the marvellous story made public yesterday Mt
an inquest held at the Lord Wellington, Uni
versity street, upon person who, under the
name of Augustus Menes, has for some years
past resided with his family at 35 University
street, Tottenhatn court road, where he followed
the avocation of professor of music. 1t ap-
peared that the deceased, who was in his
seventy-hfth year, was suddenly taken i'll
when near his own residence, and as medical
assistance could not be Immediately procured
he was conveyed without delay in a cab to the
University College Hospital close by, but he
was dead before arriving at that institution,
the cause Of his death being, as the post NOR
tenn examination distinctly proved, disease of
the heart. The jury returned a verdict ao-
cordingly, and so far the judicial part of the
proceedings terminated; but upon insuring
further into the peculiar statements that had
been made by the deceased's family, and the
rumOrs that have got about in the neighbor-
hood, causing no little excitement, it seems
that the deceased's conversation for the last
thirty years, when he first made his family nc-
quainted with the strange story, has been to
the effect that he was the Dauphin who was
supposed to have died in the Temple, and
while the deceased bore strong likeness in
the face to the Bourbon family Of France, his
family further assert that he had certain marks
on his person which the hapless infant King
had. He had always himself desired to keep
the matter secret from the world, but his family
have now expressed their determination to
publish the whole facts connected with his
marvellous history.

From PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, May 31.-Ex- Commissioner
Reed addressed the citizens of Philadelphia
this evening, on the result of his mission to
Chine; Mayor Henry occupying the chair.
After stating the earnest effort made by the
Russian Ambassador and himself, to induce
the Chinese to concede the demands Of the
English and French to avoid bloodshed, he de-
clared that the assertion that there was, between
the Russian minister and himself, combina-
ton, for the object of frustrating the policy OF
England or France, was fabrication, pur and
absolute. .a 70 r.f0.- t
He acknowledged that as neutrals and ex-
oluded from the Councils of the belligerent
powers, there sprung up intimate and conf
Dental relations with the Russian minister,
ripening into cordial friendship, but never
prosututed to the unworthy cabals attributed
to that. . .... ID.
He stated that while there was no reserve on
his part towards the belligerent powers, notice
having been given them of every step taken
in the negotiations, while on the other hand
this was not reoiproorated. He did not
doubt that if he had been content to place him
self silent and insignificant beside Lord Elgin,
he would have aided in securing treaty for
the Americans, identical with the one obtained
for England.
Regard for the dignity of his country pre-
cluded such q course, and separate negotia-
tions were entered into with the Chinese Com
missioners and a treaty signed June 18. One
reason for signing this treaty in advance, was,
that there was every reason to fear renewal
Of hostilities between the belligerents and the
Chinese, causing an indefinite postponement of
the English and French treaties. He repre-
sOnted the advantages obtained by the treaty,
which, including the most favored nation
clause, secures everything at any time granted
to other nations, and professed himself not
ashamed of treaty approved by China and
America, attained as il was In peace and friend
illness without wound or unkind thought.
In alluding 70 the Chinese tariff he said that
American Cotton goods are to be imported ut a
lower rate than the flve per cent. ad valorem
scale adopted in the English treaty, and IL the
great feature Of that treaty, the regulation of
interior transit duties be successful, there Is
every prospect Of a large increase in the con-
sumption Of American fabrics, especially in
Northern China. He referred with deep sense
of gratitude 10 the aid and countenance re-
ceiyed from the Russian officials, and with a
proper sense of obligation 10 the coercion used
by the belligerents and expressing the strong be-
lief that no two men then did, OF now do more,
full justice TO American integrity and good
faith, than the distinguished noblemen repre-
senting England and France. In all his in
tercourse with Lord Elgin, thers was no differ
enee Of opinion or the least trace Of personal
unkindness. They parted in November last,
as they met year before, ON terms Of mutual
kindness and respect. a .vY ~
