Napoleon Jerome is to be sent to New York, on a special mission. He been given this appoint- ment, it is said, for the purpose of getting out of the way. Some assert, however, that t true, but that Prince Jerome will be created Viceroy of Algiers, and despatched to that country. The lion of the capital at the present moment is Abd el-Kader, the prisoner of Amboize, who has been just set free by Louis leon.

Those three Arabs | ‘were accompanied by Captain Boissonnet, who, for | the last four years, has been living with the Emir, | im order to watch his movements. They are at Hotel de la Terrasse, rue de Rivoli, in the apart- | ments prepared for them by the orders of Gens St. Arnaud, minister of war. As soon as the news of his arrivai in Paris was known, all the curious called atthe Hotel, with the most urgent request to see | the famed Abd-el-Kader. But the Arabian chief | declines to receive any visiters, and only admits ‘thoee who are officially presented to him. Never- theless, all the managers of the theatres, desirous to take that occasion to attrast visiters to their 8 of amusement, have sent invitations to Abd- | el-Kader to visit their places. Till now he has but honored with his presence the Opera, the Francaise, | the Hippodrome, and the Circus. As a matter of ourse, the Arabian could not refrain from calling upon Louis Napoleon, by whom he had been set free. The interview took place at St Cloud, and | ‘was extremely affecting. Abd-el-Kader also vis- ited the Archbishop of Paris, and yesterday the was present at the grand review given in his honor on the Plain of Satory. The former enemy of France was quite struck with the sight of 2 ‘iments of line and cavalry, who offered the most iant coup d’ail, and made a deep impression on Arabian. It is said that Abd-el-Kader went to ‘General 8t. Arnauld, and told him that he was now | \ | entirely eatisfied that his war against France had as useless as it was insane.

The other lion of Pasis, althoagh somewhat @elipsed by Abd-cl-Kader, is the Envoy of the King ef Achem, in the Island of Sumatra, who has been sent here to make a treaty of commerce with France, and to place the kingdom of his master under the protection of our country.

The former of these festivals has been prepared with much care by Mr. Arsen Houssage, the manager, who has ornamented his theatre with the greatest taste. The entry and lobbies are filled with statues, flowers, and pictures, and the plays chosen for the oo- casion were, first, “Cinna,” the tragedy: of Corneille, ‘apoleon, and then » grand cantate, delivered by Mile.

Mernopist Misston IN Cana Inreepictep — | We are indebted to « friend in this city for the fol- | lowing extract from a private letter from the Me- | thodist Missionary at Fuh Chan, China. He writes | under date of July 5th :—*‘ The Cainese are much opposed to our living among them, and especially to our building any more heuses. Of course, after exhausting all our means to effect a settlement, we | felt it our duty to ten! the matter before our govern- | ment, and accordingly, soveral letters were address- ed to Dr. Parker, of Canten, Charge D’ Affairs of the United States. He gave early attention to our difficulties, and on Saturday, June 26th, we were | visited by the United States sloop-of-war Piymouth, | under command of Captain Kelly. The P. eould | not enter the river, and Captain K. sent his lat | Lieutenant to visit us. An effort was made at | once to intreduce him to the proper Chinese officer. | At first the officer refused to see him, but referred him to ene of lower grade. Lieutenant Gillis re- that he should visit the Prefect on Monday, June | 28th, at 3 P.M. The Chinese stood on many points of etiquette, and after all, gave but a surly reception te our officer. ur troubles were | laid before the Prefect, and he pro to | amswer us by writing the next morning. In due | time the answer came, bat it was asad one for us. The Prefect said that so long as the people objected to our living among them, he could not interfere to make them willing. He said that if but one man | oj d us, he would mot oppose that one man, but ithe would force the lan to refund our money, | and would expect us to give ap the lease, and try | to rent some place where the poeple are willing which, of course, is mewhere in -J'uh Chan. Of course we will not give up the lease, and will pro- test against their forcing our landlord to raise the money to offer us, as he says the only way in which he could do this would be by selling one of his daughters. Lieutenant G. was much dissatisfied with the officer’s answer, and sent him a reply stating his dissatisfaction, charging o1 offieer a breach of the treaty, urging him, at ¢! same timo, to a settlement of the difficulty, inform- ing them that our government had the matter in hand and would see that our rights were protected. ‘This was the extent of Captain K.’s authority, and, onthe 29th Lieutenant G. left us with this protest, and assuring us that our matters would be faithfully attended to by our goverament.

When they awakened the flames had entirely enveloped the stairway, thus catting off a retreat by that pacsage. It was insuch » moment as this that unconscious danger.

Cumberland Ceal Company continues very much neglected. It would be good policy for this company to give a fall, comprehensive repert of its operations, present position and prospects. So many statements have been circulated regarding its finances, ite contracts, &c., that it is due to the public to make an official exhibit of the company’s affairs. Nicaragua ap- pears to be ina very feverish state. It fluctuates from | day to dey from s half to one per cent. We understand nent counsel in opposition to that given by Daniel Lord, | ‘The opinion of any lawyer, however cminent, is not worth a rush, Lawyers generally give just such an opinion as is wanted on any subject, amd there has been so much of this humbug practised within the past few years, that the public have no comfidence im the opinion of the most eminent lawyer of this or amy other part of the country. ‘An opinion from the Court of Appeals is the only legal decision worth a straw. A lawyer’s opinion is a good deal like a master mason’s or master builder’s opinion. Any- thing cam be proved by professional men of all classes, It would be much better for the Nicaragua Company to go quietly on, and attend to the legitimate business of transporting passengers across the Isthmus, and pay no attemtion to the opinion of any lawyer. It will be time enough to reeort to legal proceedings when their rights and privileges are invaded. There is very little doubt but they will have trouble and difficulty enough with the government of Nicaragua before the lapse of many weeks | and it would be better to reserve their Paixhan guns for that emergency. It is our impression that Cary Improve- ment stock will get a tumble before holders generally are aware of it. The advance has, in the first place, bem too rapid, end, in the second place it is not worth near what it is selling at. At present prices, it is » bubble which has been inflated by a clique of sharp epeculators. ‘The receipts at the office of the Assistant Ireasurer of this port today, amounted to $69,247 69; payments, $90.576 46—balance, $5,389,056 78. ‘The Merchants’ Bank has declared a semi-annual divi- dend of fire percent, The Howard Insurance Company a dividend of twelve per cent.

The initia- tory measures for the formation of a company for the pur- pore were taken. A meeting was also held im Albany on Tuesday, in favor of the construction of the Lake Shore Railroad from Whitehall to Plattsburg. Hon. J. Burnett, of Ticonde- Toga, presided. assisted by W. W.

A committee was appointed to procure subsoriptions to construct a railroad from some point in the village of Whitehall to Plattsburg,om or near the west shore of Lake Champlain, from pessons residing upon the route of the proposed road. At the recent election, Shelby county, Illinois, by a vote of 851 to 664, resolved to take stock in the Terre Haute and Alton Railroad, to the amount of $75,000. At & previous election the vote was against the loan.
