From the LONDON Court Jourual.
The Emperor Napoleon's lite at Chiselhurst
Is thus described by one who has the privilege
of becoming acquainted with the social doings
there: NDnring the forenoon, all is silent In
the mansion The Empress, after prayers,
breakfasts with the Prince Imperial, who then
walks out In the park for short time, the
rule. of resuming his studies in the morning
being broken through during the indisposition
of the Emperor, to whom the society OF his
son is the chief solace of his exile. The
Prince remains with his father during the
whole process of the toilet, then assists at his
late breakfast, which, contrary to the custom
of the Tuileries. is taken alone. During this
time the conversation between father and son
is maintained with interest and affection. The
boy has cheered and soothed the bodily pain
and mental agony of the Emperor, VINO ID
sometimes seen to smile as the former recounts
his experiences of England and the English,
and offers judgment according TO ms
lights concerning the habits Of French
BOYS as compared with those of England.
When the Emperor leaves his own apartment,
the Prince Imperial repairs to his studies.
But his Majesty declares that already the glory

the event before it happens. What has strucN
the friends OF the Imperial family most OF all is
the comparative solicitude IN which each OF
its members seeks TO live. There Is something
touching in the solitary walk taken by the Em-
peror up and down the avenue leaning on MIS-
cane, and stopping every now and then 10 re-
move the pebbles from his path, according TO
the habit Of all men engaged In deep thought.
His Majesty has grown much latter since ms
arrival at Chselhurst. But he walks with lar
more ease than on his first arrival IN England.
and now only requires the arm OF frlend 10
help him up the steps Of the hall door Of the
mansion.
A charming anecdote, worthy Of the ancient
days of chiValry, Is being whispered about
among the higher circi, g In London. 1t seems
that one OF our young Catholic heroes OF hlgn
life. always great admirer OF tne suppress
Eugenie, paid visit to Chiselhurst, last week,
previous TO his departure for Paris. "Wnat
can / bring your majesty from Babylon ~
the name ~ which the doomed city Is always
designated now By the Ultramontane party

her majesty's fair hand. Nothing" repneo
the Empress, sadly; then suddenly correcting
her speech, said, quietly, "Yes, there Is one
thing should love. Bring me rose from tne
garden of the Tuileres !" The young man
promised 10 execute this apparently easy com
mission, and departed In sadness. On FRIDAY
he reappeared at Chiselhurst with case OF
purple morocco in his hand, which he rever-
