Loyal Mysteries.

=
 The spasm of loyalty excited by the Prince of Wales illness and the loss of life and limb resulting from the magnif- cent Thanksgiving over his recovery are not quite without parallel. In his Life of Frederick the Second of Prussia, Carlyle sketches in his toughest style the hysteri- cal demonstrations of the French when their royal reprobate of that era fell ill.,
 "1Mets, August 8, 1744.-The Most Christian King fell ill; dangerously, dreadfully, just like to die. Which filled France in general, Paris in particular, with terror, lamentation, prayers of forty hours; and such paroxysm of hero worship as
 was never seen for such an object before. * x Most Christian Majesty, now
 in ertreniis, centre of the basest hubbub
 that ever was < '* x had, when it came
 to the Sacramental point, been obliged to
 dismiss his Chateauroux This mistress. Poor Chateauroux !; an unfortunate female;
 yet one almost thinks, the best man among them: dismissed at Metz here, and like to be mobbed. Sublime sickness during which all Paris wept aloud. in ter. TOT and sorrow, like child that has lost it's mother and sees mastiff coming; wept sublimely and did the Prayers of Forty
 Hours called Louis, lfs.' Rien ainae (Ihe

 years afterwards sent King to the gull. lotine with just as good will as it said the
 Prayers of Forty Hours in TIA. Nosdoubi London would have. turned out just as enthusiastic crowd and have 6attened
 just as many spectators to see royal ex-
 ecution as to seea royal thanksgiving. aa MT. Leon Bryant, clerk of Dr. Miller, State Insurance Commissioner, has been
 caught in . very mean swindle The law requires each insurance agent to publish
 certificate of his appointment in a Hart | ford paper. Mr. Bryant issued 2 circular
 stating that the usual cost to.each agent of this advertising was five dollars, but
 that he could have it done for half price. | He then Bumped" the separate certif- cates of agency for each company into one. and reduced the expense of publca- ton So that he received from agents from s25 to s1O0 for advertising that cost him s5 to s7. Mr. Bryant is to be removed, and Commissioner Miller likewise, if any
 complicity in the fraud is proved against
 him.

The Administration ssSenatora did an- other wrong and foolish thing, last week, m not allowing single one of:the Sena- tors who pressed an investigation into the sales of arms to the French to be put up- on the committee appointed to investigate. The vote ranged from 36 to 40 for the ap- pointees; and from IT to 23 for Schurz. Trumbull and Ferry. When Mr. Steven son asked to be excused from serving with view to giving Schnrz flace on the committee, the Senate, by close vote, re- fused to excuse him. This blunder of the Senate has been .remedied in part by a vote of the investigating committee, allow ing MT. Schruz to examine the witnesses testifying before them. ..,
 The Custom House Committee have ex- amined Class, Porter and Babcook of the so called 'smess" Both these gentlemen testify that they have neither had any connection with Leet, nor any portion of the profits of his General Order business. They clear Gen. Grant entirely ofany sus- picion of complicity with Leet.
 On Thursday, the U. s. Senate passed the bill providing for the erection of government building at Hartford with, an amendment requiring fire proof vaults in each story. With grand new capitol in immediate prospect, National edefce nearly as fine, and 8 telerab1y fair chance for the Governorship, this year, Hartford ought almost to forget Chicago. aa A great blow was struck against the Erie ring on Monday, A majority of the Directors of that company have become dissatisfied with the course of Jay Gould. They had a meeting, Monday, removed Gould from the presidency of the road, and appointed Gen. Dix in his place. Sev- eral of them resigned to make room for Gen. Mcclellan and others on the board. A contest then ensued for the possession of the Opera House, and the offices of the company, which is yet undecided, although the new board seem to be in the ascend ency. The Superintendent and other officers recognize the new board. This coup de etat is looked upon as the death blow to the Ring.
