NAPOLEON REPORTED DEAD.
REVOLUTION IN PARIS.
THE COTTON MARKET NOT INFLUENCED.

Yesterday, after the issue OF the afternoon pa
pers, the city was startled by the rumor that Ma
poleon III, emperor of the French, was dead
The cause or nature of his death was not stated,
but it was assured by the frequenters OF Csron-
deet street that telegram to the effect that the
sovereign of France was no more had been re-
ceved by large and Influential importing house
of Commercial Alley. &3
Another dispatch, it was also positively as
serted, had been received by an English firm on
Perdido street. dated Liverpool o'clock P. NJ.
advising the concern not to buy cotton because
revolution had broken out in the streets Of Paris
and nothing further.
The reports although coming from what is coz
sdered an excellent source. seemed not to be
credited, since at o'clock P. n. the cotton
market although the sales had, from 5000 bales
on the previous day, fallen to $500 bales yester-
day-had not changed in the Liverpool or Havrs
markets.
At the Opera last evening the subject was the
general topic of conversation. and il was further
affirmed that cotton buying house OF Carondelet
street had, at o'clock, received positive assu-
RANGES that the effervescence In the streets OF
Paris was very great.
The credulous were free in expressing their opin-
ion that Napoleon, considering the difficulty OF his
position consequent upon the unsuccessful policy
which he has followed for the past few years, aud
aware of his mastery Of the army and navy of
France HE prestige obtained by the result OF the
late elections, had concluded not to await the
eventual uprising of turbulent malcontents, and
caused general arrests to be made.
The above are general rumors which may have
been perpetrsed by spectators, but it is not the
less true that grave evtnts are ln progress IN
France, and that which may prove sensational to-
day, may at some not far distant time be sad
reality.

THE CELEBRATED GREY JACKET BIrrERs MANI
FAcTURED BY BAREETT & LIoS.-There has been .
great furore psraded in the papers lately about
the couDterfeiting of the differently advertised
compound liquors. +" A word to the wise is sufi-
cient." From the very fact that the Grey Jacket
Bitters has never been counterfeited Is that they
are peculiarly of Southern manufacture, and are
made out of Southern herbs. which are healthful
and innocent in themselves, and which, in connec-
ton with their health-giving properties, makes
them par excellence the best before the public.
Messrs. Barnett & Lion, l3 New Levee and III
Fulton streets, are the cole Southern manufsctu-
rers and they are prepared to furnish the trade at
the lowest market rates. These gentlemen are
social and genial in their business intercourse and
any transaction with this house will prove to be
Of the most pleasing character. The Grey Jacket
is a most pleasant toDic and their stock of wines
and liquors is large and select. Give them call
and examine their prices before purchasing.

THE TRUTH OF HIsroRY-R we notice.
the London Observer demurred to Mr.. Reverdy
Johnson's eulogy Of John AS the king whose
name would ever live in the memory of those who
love freedom, as he By whom Magma Charta was
granted" II is the current historical impression
outside the American legation 10 London, that
King John "granted" Magma Charta, not be-
cause be wanted to, but because other people
wanted him to, and enforced their desire at the
pofus Of sesS-y Ugly s-s-s-- But minister
made no historical blunder. He only measured
John by the modern Radical standard. Things
used to be called different names, to be sure, but
the history of the world has been re written within
the last eight years. Butler, in New Orleans. was
q saint, hence lilly was right in rsvagng the Paa-
tinate; Sheridan was humane in ths valley, there
fore is Poland paradise the Dry Tortugas are
parts OF our republican system, therefore is ST.
IBERIA the land of Benlah; Reconstruction Is mer-
ciiul, and Richard Ill was one Of the kindest OF
nsen and most constant of husbands. Similarly,
King John was the equal Of Abraham Lincoln.
because the monarch was, forcibly persuaded to
grant Magma Chsrta. and the latter declared he
issued the emancipation proclamation because he
" couldn't stand the pressure" As to Magma
Charta, we hope there is copy which can be
borrowed lying round loose somewhere In Eng
land. The United States lost theirs several years
ago.-lN. Y. World.

The MIsERIEs OF Rich Mantle New YORK
correspondent of the Rochester Democrat is re-
sponsible for the following:
Alexander t. Stewart clears one thousand dol
lars per day, Sabbatbs excepted, all the year
round. Cornelius Vanderbilt pleads guilty to
double that sum, while William b. Astor rates his
income at four thousand three hundred and thirty
dollars per diem. Sleeping or waking, the latter
gentleman finds a three dollar bill dropping into
his hat every minute of the twenty.four hours.
He cannot SIT down to talk with mis- physician
without having little more wealth. If not health;
he cannot unburthen his mind for ten minutes
without feeling the burden increasing 10 his pocket,
and he cannot walk Broadway, however the
weather may be, without meeting q shower OF
money. At every turn cash stsres him in the
face in the most insoent manner. Banks Hing
their dividends at his head ruthless fnauceers
beat him on the head with coupons unpitying
and soulless corporations dump their hlthy lucre
at his doorstep, and contemptuous bill'sdckers
plaster his door with greenbacks. One might in
quire what the fello has done to merit his treat
ment and the only charge that can be brought Is.
that be was q rich mans son, and therefore must
