The Late Emperor Of France No More.
LONDON, Jan. GA dispatch from CHS
| elhurst, just received in this city, says that
Napoleon died at forty-five minutes past
ten o'clock this morning.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The news of the
death of ex-Emperor Napoleon, which was
received in this city before nine O'Clock this
morning, was not wholly unexpected from
the tenor of the dispatches received yester-
day. Il is seldom that man at so ad-
vsnced an age as Napoleon's, he being now
sixty-fve, has recovered from such illness.
Many have wondered that the ex-Emperor
allowed himself to undergo the series of
operations which have thus resulted in his
death.
Wall street received The news of Napo-
Icons death without any especial emotion.
The public generally were unmoved.
A special from London says: Although
the case of the ex-Emperor Napoleon was
regarded as very serious, the news of his
dea th this morning created much surprise,
as his demise wss not believed so imminent.
A dispatch from Chiselhurst late last night
stated that his condition was unchanged.
Another forwarded this morning, but few
hours before his death, announced that he
had passed a better night, but that his
symptoms remained the same.

The Sad DetatIs-Died without the
Rites Of the Church.
LONDON, 8 p. NJ, Jan. 9.-1he sudden
death of Ex-Emperor Napoleon took every
thing at Chiselhurst as well as London by
surprise. The Empress, relatives, attend
ants and the household, even the physicians
were unprepared for it. The Emperor had
passed comparatively comfortable night.
His strength seemed undiminished and at
a consultation early in the morning it was
thought he could endure third operation
which was fully determined upon. So great
was the confidence felt in the patients COZ.
dition the Prince Imperial was permitted
10 return to Woolwich to re-
sumo his studies. DR.. Gull went to
London yesterday, and many of the Empe-
ror's personal friends who hastened to CHS
elhurst at the first alarm, had returned to
their homes. There was 10 reason what
ever to apprehend fatal turn in the case
up to A. NJ, when new and dangerous
symptoms suddenly set in. The Empe-
ror's vital forces seemed to leave him all at
once, and he commenced to sink with alar-
ming rspidity. Atelegram was instantly
dispatched to Woolwich for the Prince. DR..
Gull was summoned from London, and
Father Goddard, the Emperor's spirit
ual adviser, was sent for in the
greatest haste to administer the last sacra-
ments of the chur,h. The Emperor'5 pri
vate Chaplain was also informed Of the
danger and started for Chisclhurst. All ar
rived too late. The Prince was not to see
bis father again alive. DR.. Gull and the
clergyman just reached the Park gates as the
Emperor expired. The Empress, who has
been most constant in her attendance, was
at the bedside at the last hour. The med
ical advisers, Sir Henry Thompson and
Drs. CarVisart and Clorer, the Emperor's
old friend, Corneau, and several members
Of the houshold were present.
Since the Emperor's death the residences
at Chiselhurst has been closed to all bat
the nearest friends and relations. The
physicians state that death resulted from
causes independent of the surgical opera
tons to which the patient was subjected.
The event produces deep impression in
London, where the Emperor was always
personally very popular with the masses.
The evening journals publish long obitua
ries full OF expressions of mourning.
The Feeling In France.
PARIS, jan. 9.-EVeniDg. The nsws Of
the Emperor's death was received at late
hour this afternoon. II is not yet possible
to estimate the effect here. The Imperial
lists of course are profoundly affected and
appear TO regard the event as final blow to
their hopes. The only evening journal
which has any editorial on the subject is the
Messenger de Paris, an influential finance
organ. It closes a brief article with the
following tribute: "The disasters which
have made shipwreck of the Empire will
not cause to be forgotten the great services
Napoleon has rendered to the nation in re-
establishing order and developing the pros
perity Of the country" None of the other
evening papers had time to do more than
print the announcement without comment,
