re- The Paris Mouiteur Of the goth
July, defends the course pursued by the
Emperor Napoleon in concluding the
peace with Austria, and announces that
on yesterday; the 10th, the Emperor re-
ceived the'great bodies and fu%hctionaries
Of State, who presented him with con-
~gratulatory. addresses Of the most grat'
lying character, expressing the Joy OF
the French people at the glorious feats
Of our arms performed by the French
army, and their satisfaction at the happy
con :lus'on of peace.
The Emperor, in reply to these con-
CALCULATIONS, made a brief speech, equally
justifying the war and the conclusion Of
a peace at the present crisis, etc.
REMARKABLE EGG.- Remarkable Hen.
A gentleman residing in the suburbs of
the city has placed in our possession one
Of the oldest looking eggs We have ever
seen o heard of: In form, it is precisejy
like a monkey or baboon, in a half re-
cumbent posture: Tue limbs, head, &C.,
are al! we'll developed, and the peculiar
position of the animal is such as to en-
tireIy obviate the necessity Of showing
what has become of the narrative;
which is not visible. Of all the eggs
ever produced by the feathered tribes,
we venture the assert on this is the rarest.
It was laid by valuable" top-knot DOM
nicker," which, although now in her
tenth year, supplies her nest with re-
markable regularity Petersburg En-

SPLRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.


The Union replies at length to the article Of
the fatefttgcneer disappearing Of the declina-
ton Of the President to call an extra session,
and thinks that the % ancient organ OF shin
plasters and rag money is on a false scent in
its hue and cry after its imaginary Post Office
Certificates" no mention Of which is found in
the letter Of the Postmaster General. The
UJlios takes il for granted that the business
of auditing, settling, and issuing warrants for
moneys due by law will go on as usual, not
with reference TO funds in the Treasury, but
with reference to rights under the law.
The URioH, treating Of the character of par
ties, Gays that in the Republican party there is
not single element of patriotism, that it is an
organization based upon principles palpably
hostile to the Federal Union, and that if the
Democracy cannot prevail against such party,
1t is because its organization is dcmoralized and
its integrity questionable.
The iRtetIigcHcer denies, from memory, that
President Jefferson's gun boat navy was built
for the purpose of taking Cuba, as the New
York Times correspondent asserts has come to
light through Commodore Stewart The Intel
HgeRceT says that the object of the navy was to
protect our coast, and particularly the naviga-
ton Of the Mississippi, Don Morales, the in
tendent Of Louisiana, having issued a proclama-
tion excluding the port Of New Orleans as a
depOrt for our commerce.

II In the Stephens wife poisoning case in New
York, yesterday, Michael Flynn, on the part of
the prosecution, as rebutting evidence, testified
that he did not sell James Hanna arsenic in 1857,
az stated by that witness, and that no person was
present with stephens when he sold him arsenic.
Michael Thornton clerk for Coroner Connery at
the inquest, testified to portions of Mrs Hanna :
testimony on the inquest being utterly at variance
with that given on this trial; the same with Isa-
bella Benefits, Maria Hanna's, and George Da.
vis-s testimony.
William knOx, cousin of the Bell girls testified
that he once visited Stephenss after her death.
and was going TO sleep with Stephens, but that he
told him 10 20 and sleep with the girls that there
was more room there, dc; he went in and Laid
down outside Of the bed; the girls said he should
not do it; he then laid across the foot of the bed
taking of only his coat and hat; went with the
Bell girls when they left Stephens house; Stephens
got mad and kicked a bandbox across the room
Jas b. Hammond, class leader in the church
that Stephens and the Bell girls attended, and
Charles Mulholland, member Of Sophia's class.
testified to the correct department of the Bell girls
TO the extent Of their observation

OrGov. Hicks, Of Maryland, in a letter in
reply TO personal friend i'm Baltimore, who had
advised him Of the popular feeling in that CITY
against his recent respite Of the Baltimore muir

a Just God unPrepared, would be a torture to me
as long as ] may live. You must Imagine the an
guish Of mind that would be produced by the
declaration Of Crop Corrie the latter particuay
ly, having much the shorter time for Repentance
allowed, were they on the scaffold Tomorrow had
that day been adhered to. declared that they or he
were going 70 the bar of God unprepared. and
that want Of time was the cause. These are grave
matters, and none feel them so keenly as do, be-
cause none bear the responsibility but myself II
Is easy for persons to think and speak Of what thew
would do when freed from responsibility but
place the burden on them aud they would both
feel and speak differently

FORWARDING MONEY BY ExPRKss-The New
XarL Evening post of TneSd,r x,rs.

FORWARDING MONEY BY ExPRKss.-The New
York Evening Post, of Tuesday, says:
In forwarding valuable packages by express, II
10 usual 10 mark the value on the outside and pay
acertain rate per cent. on that value. The COM
pany holds itself liable only for the declared
value, and insures the safe delivery Of the at
its point Of destination. Now, as merchants some
tiHes ship valuable cargo, and insure part Of
ID, taking the risk themselves the remaining
portion, SO has ii been no unusual custom for
Wall street houses. when shipping bank notes by
express, to insure part by marking the value less
than II really is thus taking the risk Of the bal
ance themselves.
A week ago Bank Note house received des-
patch from Chicago, informing them that a pack
age marked s.. 600 had been lost, and instructing
them to send on proof that it contained that sum
and the Express Company would paw t. On
referring to their books they found that the pack
age contained 81 300, and that in consequence
they would be losers of 81 800.
A visit TO the head office Of the Express Compa-
ny YVES made by of the firm, who informed
the Company that he had also an interest in the
package over its marked valne, and that he WAS
abeet to start with a detective for Chicago and
look into the loss Of the parcel On this determi-
nation on his part, the Express Company informed
him there necessity for this course. as they
had his package and two Others since received
and had broken the seals and now held them in
their possession.
Northumberland that they offer to return the
package, provided the house gives a list OF the
amonts sent by this Express for the two years
and pays up the extra insurance on risks they do
not take. Ii is a time that such serious question
this, involving il does the largest interests
were settled. The question whether or not any
carrier has right to break the seal Of pac kages
entrusted to his care and dctain them because they
differ in value from the amount for which they
have been insured, cannot be determined too soon
