GENERALITIES.
The Prince ImnerinI.

The Prince Imperial of France, is utterly
unprovded for. The life of the Empress was
insured four years ago in three different offices
in Paris to the amount of 100000 or 10000.
Supposing any neglect to occur in keeping up
these assurances, which on account of the pecu-
liar position were charged at an unusually high
rate, the Prince, even at her death, would
only possess the barren lands bequeathed to him
last year by This fathers eccentric cousin,
Princess Bacciocchi,s called Korn ell Hamet,
and situated in the Landes. The Emperor has
not laid aside money; he has with lavish gene
rosity spent his civil list in keeping up more
hospitable and magnificent court than any other
in Europe, as well as in profuse charities, but
neither for himself, his wife, inor son has he
laid aside any portion of the money received
from the country.
The African Slave Trade.
The Rev. Horace Waller writes thus to the
Pail Mall Gdzette:-"Letters received to-day
(the 10th of September) from Zanzibar, under
date August B. speak of the activity of the slave
trade upon the East Coast of Africa, and like
wise mention the strenuous eXertions on the part
of her Majesty's cruisers in those waters to sup
press 1t. The Arabs have lost thousand slaves
in the last three months liberated from dhows
bound for Arabian ports, although this is but
a small percentage of those actually carried
thither, and my correspondent remarks, quite
enough have made the run to bring down the
same lot next year to try their luck again.
There is n significant absence Of all mention of
DR.. LiVingstone's name in these letters
The Test Oaths.

Nearly all the Walker delegates have taken c.

MOrrissey After Fisk.
Hon. John Morrissey, member of Congress for
the Fifth district, made summary collection, Il
few days since, of James Fisk, Jr., of $50, 900 or
$4,000 being the full amount of the cash
balance of Mr.. Morrissey, involved through his
brokers by the failure and flight of Fisk, Jr.,
from Wall street on Frid0y week. The sum
mary process used was not of n corporal nature,
but simply an intimation in very emphatic
terms, through mutual acquaintance, of
what would follow in n week, or in six
weeks, or whenever he dared show himself out
side his intrenched Office if the money was not
forthcoming at once, to the uttermost penny.
The money came. Mr.. Morrissey had nothing
directly to do with Fisk or his gold corner but
he had to do with highly-respectable young
firm OF brokers who were nearly ruined by Fisk
on the occasion referred to. Mr.. Morrssey is
noted for his prompt and quiet way of doing
business in Wall street, and is never rufiled by
losses great or small when fairly and squarely
incurred. But there are some ''hard cases" II
seems, he will not stand, and Fisk Jr., is one of
thenl.-N L. World.
