An EMpREss AND HER IIorEI BILLS.
-" The Empress owagcr Of Russia"
says the 1renir of Nice twill arrive
at this place in the beginning of Octo-
Der from lnterlaken, where she is at
present. Her Majesty has proved that,
however rich sovereigus may be, they
are not always disposed to submit to
the extortiorate demands Of hotel
keepers. When her Majesty passed
through Basic two years ago, the
landlord of one Of the hotels there
charged l7,O0Ot. for accommodating
the Empress and her suite for a single
night. The worthy inkecpcr, on lea. D.
ing that her ma esty was coming to
Switzerland, expected a second visit,
but the Empress, before leaving St.
Petersburg, adopted defensive strat-
agy by engaging several cooks, who go
before and prepare her repasts in the
towns where she intends to stop. This
year, on passing through Basic, her
Majesty's dinner was prepared, as usual,
beforehand, and served in one of the
railway refreshment rooms."

RE-opENING OF THE SLAVE Trade
The result of the elections in the
southern States, particularly in Texas
proves that the reopening Of the slave
trade is regarded there, as we'll as a,
the North, with disfavor. Philanthro-
py is exultan., and its disciples are
making great hue and cry. They nc
doubt believe, and honestly believe,
that modern teachings and sermons
upon humanity have brought about tho
result We should be glad to think SC
too, but we doubt after all if the prin-
ciplcs of humanity have had much te
DO with it. The world now, as here
tofore, is pretty generally governed by
considerations of material Interest,"
While there is a great deal OF open and
calculating hypocrisy atloat, there is nc
doubt much more of latent and uncon
sclous hypocrisy. Every man is apt te
think, while serving his own Interests
that he is serving those Of God and o
the whole human race-that is, if he
thinks it is worth his while to look a,
a question beyond its bearings on self
The North, of course, where white la
Dor is superintendent, does not wish OIL
desire more Of negro labor, while a
the South such a considerable acces-
sion Of slave labor as would result from
the opening of the slave trade would
tend greatly to reduce the value ofth'
capital now invested in slaves. S,
there is no danger of the slave trade
being rcopcned. Not because philan
thropists preach and cry against it, bu
simply for the reason that the genera

Help for our Texas Frontier. nl1D
The critical position in which our countrymen
in Brownsville placed at last accounts is well
known here, and also the fact that they have ap-
pealed TO for help. We trust that appeal will be
nobly and promptly answered. The communica-
ton below on the subject speaks for ITSELF and we
only add that the gentlemen who furnish it are
entirely reliable and responsible, and well caIcu-
lated to perform in satisfactory manner the SER
vice they undertake:

Inc recent outrageous and murderous assaults

by bloodthrsty marauding party, have made Il
necessary for the Mayor of that CITY to call nnon
New Orleans for that means Of protection and a..
fense which they find themselves deprived of In
view Of the alarming state Of affairs in which the
inhabitants are placed, the requisite number of
men can be forthwith raised, provided the merchant
citizens Of New Orleans will furnish the NECESSARY
outfit for the undertaking. This we feel satisfied
they will do, as their interests mperatively require
the speedy restoration Of peace and quiet on our
Mexican frontier: to-wit: arms, ammunition ant
provisions for the space of thirty days, sucl
further time their services may be deemed neces
sary for the protection of the lives and property

when the citizens Of New Orleans will be calle
upon to aid cause in which they are vitality intel

desirable attentions for she had learned from the

like Senior Oyiedo, owned countless niggers and
incalcuable wealth. She presented her daughter
Josephine, pretty blonde, gushing, silly and
fresh from school, to the sallow millionaire, and al
most threw her into his arms. The bait was
eagerly swallowed, and the wooing and cooing,
ever were the old lady's buckwheat cakes. Mrs.

her daughter was engaged to Cuban almost as
rich as Miss Bartlett's fancee. @5q

On the twelfth of this month an English Peer,

The DEATH OF PIrT.-A writer in Once Week
gives the following account of the death of the
great Pitt:
Pitt died at his house on Pntney Heath, near the
spot where Canning and Castlereagh fought their
duel and in very neglected state, none of his
family or friends being with him at the time. One,
who was sincerely attached to him, hearing of his
Illness rode from London to see him. Arriving at
hut no one came. Dsmounting he made his way
to the hall door, and repeatedly rang the bell,
which no one answered. He then entered the
house, wandered from room to room till at last he
| discovered Pitt on o bed-dead and entirely neg
lected. It is supposed that such was his poverty,
wants, and that they had absconded, taking with
