HE MURDER OF VICTOR NoIR.-The Paris
papers by yesterdays steamer give us what
the cable could not, an idea of the intense
feeling excited by the murder of M. Noir by
Prince Bonaparte. The popular rage around
the corpse of Victor Noir recalled the Paris of
revolutionary days. Citizen Delesclusee told
the crowd they must have vengeance, and that
for the first time in eighteen years the wind
was blowing their way. Loud cries for the
Republic and Of death 10 the assassin were
common among M. Rocheforts friends. M.
Noir was to have been married the next dav

M. Emile OLIVER examined the papers relating
to the incident, and gave orders to have the

commencement of the judicial examination.

IMPUDENcE EXTRAORDINARY. - The bur-

North Adams Savings Bank of large sum,
were closely pursued to Troy. Fearful of be-
Ing detected and losing their booty. tho ras.
Gals have written TO the Bank authorities pro-
posing to compromise. They offer, on condi-
ton that they are not prosecuted and are per-
mitted to retain the bonds and greenbacks, to
restore at such time and place as may be
specified the $35, 900 in notes, orders, and 9TH
er collaterals. How the authorities propose to
treat this proposition does not appear. One
thing isvery certain, however, it is the accep-
lance of just such tenders, the negotiation with
such thieves, that places premium upon bank
robberies. So long as bank officers continue
to compound felony, so long will their vaults
be blown open.

by Capt. Abner Miller. Here it is, as describ-
ed by the Home Journal
We must omit descriptions of the beautiful
dresses worn by the ladies, that we may tell of
the novelty which was the especial feature OF
the evening. 1t was designed by M. Francis
Kingly, of the Hoffman House (formerly of
Delmonico's,) and was made to order in Paris
for this occasion. 1t consisted of two large
bouquet', in baskets, each flower of which
concealed an appropriate motto addressed to
the lady guest to whom it was Intended to be
presented. At midnight these baskets were
brought into the front parlor by M. Jean Ma
ria Laporte, master of ceremonies, and held
by him while Mr.. George w. Curtis proceed
ed to extract the flowers from their baskets,
one by one, and to read the Inscriptions.

taking flower from the bouquets, Mr.. Cur

each, as though extracting the sweets from the
petals. Immediately beneath the bee was a
pendant tDy pearl. On drawing the pearl
from the stem it brought forth narrow white

printed the name of the lady addressed, date

ATTACKED BY CHINESE PIRATES -The North
German barque Apenrade, which arrived at
New York from Whampoa, China, on Satur-
day, was attacked by a piratical Chinese Junk
on the oath of September, while becalmed off
Macao. The junk, which at first presented no
different appearance from maby others in the
immediate vicinity, suddenly approached the
Aprenade and opened fire upon her. Grape
and canister belched from six guns, which tore
away bulwarks and boats and smashed the
upper works generally. She then laid along
side the barqne, and sixty pirates, armed with
revolvers and short swords, sprang on her deck
shooting Captain Davidson in the breast in
fictiDg terrible wound on the head OF Carl
Hoffman, the mate, and killing one of the
crew, Dane: The rest of the crew, overpow-
cred, He'd to the rigging, and the officers fol-
lowed suit The pirates then plundered the
cabin, and were transferring chests of tea from
the hold to their junk, when steamer making
her appearance, they retreated to their vessel
and made OF: They were subsequently over
hauled and their junk destroyed by Chinese
gunboat commanded by an American.
