when our Minister, Mr.. FAULKNER, entered
the Tuileries at Paris, to present his let
tiers, &C., to LOUIS NAPOLEON, he passed
through several crowded rooms, in one of
which was His Majesty. Mr.. FAULKNER, moi
perceiving, kept on his way, when some
chamberlain or usher told him of the i'm.
perial presence. The Emperor laughed at
the mistake, saying: "They can never
again assure me that the majesty of my
person alone proclaims to beholders my
imperial rank" What Mr.. FAULKNER re.
piled is not stated. sa.

cratic majority on Tuesday, the Sd, was
256!
You can see what an estimate the people
place upon the last legislature by the vote
of the town of Carver, to wit {: for Town
Supervisors, (Chairman) John Helm, Dem.)
tinker, 50; (Chairman) J. S. Letford,
(Rep.) a member of legislature, IS.
JOHN Helm, the tinker, you will perceive
received a; majority of II. Last fall the
Republicans carried this town by eleven
majority. If we can have DOUGLAS for
the next candidate for President, the Re.
publican vote will not be worth counting.
We all expect that our representatives to
the Charleston Convention will vote for
DOUGLAS until the last.
Yours truly, DEMOCRAT.

Committee on Judiciary, read his argument
in support OF the Presidents protest. He
denied that the House has unlimited mower

any kind according to its mere will or plea.
sure. If so, this would not be consistent
with the great principle of law everywhere
recognized, where the rights of individuals
are concerned, and as a consequence the
adoption OF the resolution in relation to the
President was in violation OF this great
principle OF law. He refers to the powers
OF the select committee as extraordinary and
inquisitorial, when not particle of evidence
against the President had been placed be-
fore the House. -
In conclusion, he says, the positions taken
by the President are right, and the protest
made by him has a solid foundation in the
provisions of the constitution and those
great principles which underlie every sys~
tenn OF law established for the administration
of justice. So II >.

The Times correspondent says !:

The influx of Charleston delegates renders
our hotels unusually lively. There are some
here from most of the Northern and North
western States, and calculations freely in.
dulged in, One paper, prepared on what
is claimed to be reliable authority, gives the
nomination to Douglas on the third ballot.
It is rumored on the streets that Hon. John
Slidell is candidate, but willnot be brought
forward until after Hunter, Breckenridge
and Lane have run down, when his New
York friends wsll start him as compromise
candidate. Mr.. Douglas stock is evidently
rising as delegates arrive. The only pre-
vailing idea seems to be to win, and to do
this they claim the nomination of Douglas
as essential. Gov. Richardson, of Illinois,
and General James are among the arrivals
this morning.

DicKEN's CREATION A REALITY
Dickens story Of Mr.. Dorrit living
so long in debtors prison that be
was at home nowhere else, has been
paralloled by reality, as indeed all
the most improbable 6ctions Of tho
most improbable novelists often are.
Sir Francis Dcsanges, (Knight)
who had been Sheriff of London and
Middlesex, and also of Oxfordshirc,
recently expired in the Queens
Prison. lie had been n inmate Of
this gloomy abode for over four
years. Mrs. Clifford, daughter of
the deceased, stated that her father
was seventy.fve years Of age, and
had bitterly complained of his long
Imprisonment" In these few words
lies the gist Of a story probably
quite as sad as that conjured up by
the prolific Imagination Of the great
British romancer. Indeed, the true
title is more pathetic still than the
fictitious. The real Dorrit died in
his prison, the imaginary character
had a respite from his trials.
Daily gazette and comet., 1860-10-27

~ Prof Pierce, Of Harvard. In q
recent communication 10 the French
Academy Of Science, gives theory
Of comets substantially as follows /:
THE nucleus is II metallic dem
sity, and IL is surrounded by an
immense atmosphere. Under the
influence Of the suns heat, matter
is given of from the nucleus, form.
ing an envelope, which rises with
the upif1m velocity. AS IL rises,
IL becomes electric like a cloud,
aud is repelled by tho electricity
Of the sun; and when this solar in
fluence becomes strong enough TO
overcome the natural cohesive force
oftbe envelope, the latter separated
from the comet and becomes tail,
which sticks out like hair under The
influence Of electricity, instead Of
trailing after. like a garment in the
wind.
