garded as among the probabilities. :. Eugene
is about to bid adieu to Chiselhurst h
Count de Chambord has the support of seven
Orleans Princes for his claim to be the rightful
King of France. 1t is reported that the
Spanish steamship Murillo was the vessel
that ran down the Northfieet, in the English
Channel, and that she, too, went down, with
all on board. Louis Napoleon is stated to
have been very devout the last two or three
years of his life, and to have attended
mass every Sabbath and holy day with
~scrupulous care. Before his death he
made confession and received absolution.. -.
The London papers say that from the post
mortem examination in the case of Napoleon,
that while death was the result of a sudden
shock from the operation twice undergone,
added to the severe suffering which followed
on each occasion, and all acting upon q constl-
%tutional state already desperate, 1t was not due
to any miscarriage of the operation itself.
The disease of the kidneys was pronounced to
be of such a nature, and SO advanced that it
would in any case have shortly a determined
fatal result. Death followed within 20 min
utes from the time the Emperor was seized
with the fatal symptoms, he having been I'M
conscious throughout, and, of course, also IN
sensible to pain, and spared from the pangs of
death.
AN unknown British vessel has been wrecked
near Bordeaux, and all on board lost. The
New York Herdld's correspondent has been in
terviewing NJ. Gambetta. The French states
man says that the Republican cause never
looked brighter in France. The two branches
of the French Bourbons have united their
forces, in order to present but one candidate
for the throne of France in case the monarchy
be restored.
REV. ADAM ~SEDGwICK, the distinguished
English geologist, is dead, aged S5....The
cable assures us, for the 999th time, that the
Carlist instruction in Spain is completely
crushed. T h italian Government has seized
sixteen converts in Rome The yellow fever
is raging in Rio Janeiro.
General.
THE Greeley National Statue Committee re-
port that $15, 900 have been subscribed for the
statue to Mr.. Greeley's memory. They need
$40,0 900, and will take no action until that sum
is raised. Contributions of any amount are
solicited. The English steamship Himalaya
has not been heard from. She left England
for Halifax on the I'd of January, and had on
board about 800 soldiers of various English
regiments.
AN absurd rumor was telegraphed over the
country, a few days ago, that President Grant
had been assassinated. 1t is scarcely neces-
sary to say that there was not even the shadow
of foundation for the report Havana let
ter says the conviction has come over all that
slavery, in its present form, will be abolished,
and not a single step has been taken to secure
any other system. The following criminals
are under science of death: Foster, the New
u Thu huIOol6I, " DS huuS III .
Charles A. Russell, for the murder of James
Crafty, to be hung at San Francisco, March 81;
John r. johnson, of New Haven, to be hung
for the murder of Johanna Hess....A. B.
Stockwell, President of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company and the SANTANA Bay Company,
has been elected President of the Atlantic and
Empress of Brazil is dead. 49, Competition be-
tween the three trunk lines from Cincinnati to
the East has resulted in reducing the fare from
there to New York to $15 and return.
THE additional evidence taken in the Greeley
will case, the other day, indicates that Mr..
Greeley was insane even before the election.
80. Recent deaths: Robert B. Cranston, an ex-
Congressman from Rhode Island; B. w. Nor
ris, late member of Congress from the Third
Alabama District; Luther Tucker, editor of the
CuHiudtor and Country Gentleman, at Albany,
N. Y.
THE highest rate for Geographic dispatches
from any two points in the United States is
hereafter to be $3.50 for ten words, instAad of
50, as at present. This regulation mainly ap-
plies to dispatches between the Atlantic and
Pacific cities. The rates between Western
cities and California have been reduced, but
not in the same proportion. h competition
between the three trunk railroad lines, selling
tickets between Cincinnati and New York and
return, has ended by a compromise, whereby
all resume the regular rates. Tickets for the
round trip to New York sold as low as So before
the compromise was effected. The Atlantic
Mail Steamship Company .CHavana to New
York; has collapsed, and its steamers and
other effects are to be sold under the hammer.
Epitaph: Died of competition.
