THE rebel General Beauregard, it is said,
is seriously considering the acceptance of the
title of Prince from the Roumanians of
Moldo-W Wallachia. He is to have command
of the military forces to rank next to the
Hospodar; to receive 5000, 900 in cash, and
large salary.

A PHASE OF FRENCH L1FE-A Curious ReguIG-
tioD.The tribunal of correctional police in Paris
recently tried man named Ansart, who was IN
| the employ of mover Of furniture, on charge
of stealing eight dozen electroplated knives and
forks and four dozen of coffee spoons the property
| Of lady whose goods he had helped to convey to
| her new apartment. The complainant deposed
| that she had made a parcel of the spoons, and
rolled it up in mattress, on opening which she
| found that all had disappeared. Suspeeting that
the prisoner was the thief, she went to his en-
ployer, who investigated the matter, and found
that Ansart having stolen the articles, had sold
them in lots for about fifteen francs, and spent the
money in drinking with his comrades
Two dozen Of the spoons were afterwards recov-
cred. When the prisoner was asked to explain his
conduct he said that he had taken the property
because the usual allowance Of wine had been
refused The complainant here stated that the de-
fendant's employer assured her that the drinking
propensites of his men caused him endless trouble,
and to prove the truth of his assertion he gave her
paper which he had found containing the rules
adopted by them and their fellows. This document
she had kept, and now produced in court. 1t ran
as follows:
we are never to move bottles which are half
empty, but drink the contents al once. If there
are none half empty we must make them so. If
the wine be in casks tap it, and each man
drinks as much as he likes before starting on the
road and on arriving. When the person whose
goods we move gives US wine, we take less, but
still as much as we want. When there is no wine,
and when none is given us, we sell empty bottles
by the way to buy some If the person accom-
panies the wagon we try and induce him to treat
us, but we break his furniture for revenge. If he
will not give us any drink on the road. we take
some of his property to make things even be-
tween u.s."
The prisoner smiled while this paper was read
ing, but assumed very different air when the
public prosecutor pressed for conviction and
severe sentence, on the ground that Ausart had
already been twice condemned for similar offences.
The tribunal declared the charge fully proved, /,
and sentenced the accused to six months i'm

The NAMES OF LONDON STREETs.-The London
correspondent of Western paper contributes
the following entertaining gossip abopt the names
of the streets in London:
The streets of London have been made matters
of public interest in many ways, from Smiths
book, which gives good account of their historical
associations-a book which every visitor to London
should haye-to Dion BouciCaulPs play now per-
forming at the Princess's Theater. But as yet
no andquary has given us an account of the nam
ing of these streets. The first thing that strikes
the Wanderer through them is the poverty of
names which seem to have afflicted London, and
which shows itself in singular and intolerable repe
tItions of them.
There are 36 King streets. There are 1870 places
named Washington, in America; but fancy how
coachmen and strangers in New ork would swear
at the father Of their country if even So streets in
New York were named for him. How loyalty to
the throne is compatible with 36 King streets in
London / cannot say. There are rs Queen streets
also, and Queen squares. The House of Bruins
wick is remembered in 20 George streets and 8
George Yards. There are 81 Charles streets 80
John streets, 25 Church streets and 10 Church
rows, 20 Princess Streets l8 Duke Streets II James
l9 Cross and ii Chapel Streets Besides these
there are unacCountabe varieties, such as Old
King, New John, Upper Charles, ETC., etc.
There are Il New streets, New roads and
New courts. ThTty.tWo streets are named after
Queen Victoria Six of the drtiest streets in Lon
don are called Paradise street. There is stenchy
fitness in the naming of Liquorpond street, as
there is in the religious literature Of Amen Corner
which is reached by Paternoster Row. Some
American writer has noticed that the philosopher
who admres Frederick and defends slavery should
live AT Great Cheyne Row, hut it may be said for
him that one reaches it through Justice Walk. II
is int0lerabe, however that some of the viest and
meanest lane should be named after Shakespeare,
Newton and Milton.
The Mobile Register is inclined to look upon the
National Iptelligencers assertion, that Forney re
ceyes his ooloFed friends at his residence and
h'eat5 them to the best the market affords, as
mere Copperlead attempt to iujure the character

How THEY DO THINGS IN PARIs.-The pleasure
| Of European travel must be great to those who
| desire to get the worth of their money, judging
| from the following anecdote, which we copy from

when everything is paid for, the journeyman, who

gentleman fresh from New York, where he had
been in the habit of having his hair cutting and
dressing done in complete manner, and at a fixed
price, went into the barber shop of the Grand
Hotel few days since and asked TO have his hair
cut. After this had b. ven 6One the workman asked
if he would have "a Ii tile oil on his hair?n OF
course he replied "Yes,' and then the same sug-

The WOUNDS OF THE SPANISH ADMIRAL.-The
Panama correspondent Of the New York Tribune,
writing on the 18th, says:
The surgeon of the Vanderbilt informs me that
he boarded the Numancia just before the former
vessel left Callao, and he there learned that the
wounds of Nunez were probably. mortal. Nunez
was standing on the bridge Of his flagship direct
ing the bombardment when the iron rigging was
struck by shot, and he was hit on the body, face
and arm by the flying pieces. His wounds were
of such desperate character that it was not even
thought advisable to remove him to his room, but
he was laid on q mattress on the deck Of the yes
sci near the SPOT where he fell
| The admiral, as he appeared on bis flagship Ct
Valparaiso, is thus sketched By correspondent
of the N. Y. Herald:
" The admiral is small In stature, impulsive in his
movements, exceedingly courteous and impresses
one very favorably. His hair, slightly mixed with
gray. is cut close his eyes are keen and restless,
and his face. with heavy side-whiskers and promi-
nent features, leaves an impression on the memory
not likely to be soon effaeed. His dress is elabc-
rate but not gaudy. In conversation he makes use
of many expressive gestures but, when silent, his
lips firmly compressed and his attitude that Of
deep abstraction.

WEBsTEE's DIcTToNARY.-The Richmond Wing,
in a notice of O late edition of Websters Die
! tionary, says:
1t would be unnecessary, if we were competent
to the task, to subject this work to critical
analysis. Its reputation is firmly established. 1t
is built upon rock, and can bid defiance to any
petty storm that the critics can raise. There are
peCuliarites Of pronunciation and spelling sane
TONED by this dictionary that are not, and never
can be popular in the Southern States; for we
have our own notions in regard to photography
and ortheopy which, whether right or wrong, we
will not easily surrender.
We believe that the purest English to be found in
America is found in Virginia. 1t is consoling to
know that the possession of this truly learned
and valuable dictionary this thesaurus of
philology, does not necessitate and compel the
observance in respect of some words, of modes
of spelling and pronunciation at variance with
our fixed opinions. 1t may be, however, that
before Congress closes its session, Mr. Sumner
may feel himself impeled by some of the many
devils that possess him, to make this dictionary
the subject of Constitutional amendment SO as
to compel us to accept its spelling and pronun-
ciation as the tests of loyalty. Fortunately DR..
Webster was born in Connecticut; had he been
native of Massachusetts,, there would have
been more ground for this apprehension, There
is one word III this dictionary, and properly de-
| fined, that does not command the attention it
| deserves in New England, and a word which
MIR. Sumner, with all his Vaunted scholarship, does
not appear to comprehend. That word is "Con-
stitutlon.h There are but three slight additions
we would suggest to this already sufficiently CO.
pious dictionary. They are that the word " noun
| 1t bank shall be defined " Sumuer;n that the
word "hypocrite shall be defined "Phiilips,f p
and the word monster " - Stevens"
