This, however, is notall, Napoleon has made France great and prosperous, and has compelled the outside world to respectand fear her, The one unfor- tunale thing, however, is that the greatness or the glory of France has depended too much on the power and doings of one man, When Angustus died he left Tiborins, and the legacy was accepted by the Roman people. When Napoleon shall die will the French people accept his son and heir? This is the whole question. We cannot answer the question positively, France may accept the son and heir, but France may not. Napoleon Sil, no more, what can any man see? His son. a boy only are represented as the very men to do the jalr tiling Dy the savages and the government.

But the Freach people have never loved him, They have never said more than that they could not make it better. The one man power was better than anarchy, bat the one man has not found a place in twenty years in the French heart, Napoleon gone, we again ask what would follow? His son, possibly, but only possibly. More likely anarchy; probably the republic; probably another restoration’ As feeling now runs the Count de Paris has quite as good a chance as the Prince Imperial. France loves change. A Bourbon would be a change, and the change wight be agreeable. History has power. Napoleon If. has benefited by this power. There is no good reason why the legitimists or the Orleanists or the republicans should not come in for their share of this his- toric blessing. There are many who think that the system perfected by the present Emperor makes the position of his natural successor easy and certain. The army, they say, rules France, and the chiefs of the army are bound over to Napoleonism. We have only to remind all such of the facts of 1814. Conversion was easy then, Conversion cannot be more difil- cult now. Should the life of Napoleon be cut short now the scramble for power is so certain and the conflicting elements are so powerful that it is much safer to predict anarchy than order. Napoleon is the keystone of the edi- fice. Take him away and the edifice may tumble to ruins. It is difficult, indeed, so far as France is conceraed, to separate the death of the Emperor from another great French revolution, To Europe generally Napoleon's death might be a blessing; but it might be a great calamity. It is undeniable that the Third Napoleon has been a prop and pillar to the dynasties of Europe. But for him 1848 might have made Europe a grand federation, in which royalty would have found no place. His name has been a terror to the peoples. Take him away and the popular cause will revive, will put on new strength, will become imperious. The standing army is the tyrant of Europe. Napoleon out of the way, and the standing army may be found a portion of thé people. The republicans of Europe wait and pray for the death of this man to give the signal for a grand and general outburst, Will the outburst be a gain, or will it not? Prince Napoleon is a great personage be- cause his cousin is Emperor, because his second cousin is heir apparent; but if the Emperor were gone, the Prince, in France, which is virtualiy a republic, would find him- self a very small man. If the Emperor were dead the new constitution would not be found worth the paper on which it is written. Port Fees. Itis one of the anomalies of our Custom House service that hitherto the Custom House here has been almost as much a State as a United States institution. Established to collect United States tariff and other fees, it has collected State fees often largely in excess of those re- quired in the name of the general government. At the present time the Custom House collects three important State taxes—that of the Har- bor Master, another of the Health administra- tion, and a third for the State Emigrant Hos- pital. This is so considerable a part of the fee burden on commerce that a schooner that had to pay twenty-nine dollars paid nineteen dol- lars of that sum for these three taxes, It has been long held that States had no right what- ever to tax commerce, and now, apparently, our shipowners and merchants intend reso- lutely to force the topic to issue, urged, no doubt, by the constant growth of charges, At their instance the Treasury Department has juat called the attention of the Collector to the fact that the United States Supreme Court has declared the local harbor masters’ fees illegal, and has forbidden the collection of that tax. As the ground on which the judg- ment of the court rested was the prerogative of the general goverament in regulating com- merce, it will not be difficult for our merchants to secure decisions that will take the other State charges also ont of their bills. Tue Disrricr ror Experiments, nur Not For A Maine Liquor Law.—The National Temperance Society have a petition in circula- tion praying the two houses of Congress to pass a law prohibiting the sale as a beverage of all intoxicating drinks in the District of Columbia. Congress having ‘‘exclusive power of legislation in all cases whatsoever” over this District it has become the place for experiments in all sorts of reforms. The abolition of slavery, the establishment of equal civil rights to men of all colors and negro suffrage were first tried in this District. Woman suffrage, we pre- sume, will come next; but as for a Maine liquor law from Congress over said District, the idea is perfectly absurd—the absurdest pro- position that ever reformer dreamed of, New View or Quesec.—We frequently hear from the friends of the New Dominion flowery accounts of the prosperity of every- thing under the new system. Fancy, then, the astonishment with which we receive this, “drawn on the spot,” and figuring as one of the resolutions ia a meeting held at Quebec :— “For many years past we have seen with deep regret our real estates sink rapidly, our ship- building interests disappear, porhaps forever ; our magnificent water powers, the greatest in the aggregate of any single locality on this Continent, rush wildly past our doors, and our youth, the flower of our population, flying to the United States in countless thousands from the desolation which seems to have marked our city as its own.” Upon the strength of such a state of affairs the men who see things in this light want to come over and bring Quebec into the United States, ‘They are coming, father Abraham, three hundred thousand more.” Orinton Grows.—Prince Napoleon told the French Senate that the best form of govern- ment was that of the United States, But, says the Journal des Débats, he only told the Senate ‘‘what everybody but the Senate thinka.” “Hanp CHaracters” were shipped by the Hornet at Halifax, and {t is supposed for Cuba, Pily it had not been hard tack, for the same voyag.

When finished it will be the main line for through travel; but there will be work enough, not only for the two continental roads, which will then be in operation, but for one or two more. In the building up of half a dozen new States the Union Pacific will soon be an immensely profitable line, and so with the Southern Pacific in tapping the undeveloped resources of Western Texas and of New Mexico, and Arizona, and of the Northern States of the Mexican republic, and the vine and olive lands of Southern California, the most pro- ductive in the world. In this connection it will be seen that Gen- eral Rosecrans is in better business than he would be in running as the democratic candi- date for Governor of Ohio. General Fremont, we believe, is now in Europe raising money for the main line from Memphis westward. He only asks the right of way and certain Territorial lands along the line from Congress ; for with thesd and the liboral grants offered by Texas he calculates upot building the road without the further assistance of government bonds. We think, too, that on this basis the road ought to be pushed through without diffi- culty, considering the advantages of the route, the lightness of the work and the profits sure to follow. nies have been sent through other mediums, but these through the Heraxp are individual contrib.itions, ranging between one and one hundred dollars, from the body of the people. No better evidence can be given that the HeErarp is the acknowledged popular news- paper of America, and the medium the people use onalloccasions. Itis known, too, that what- ever contributions are sent to us will be faith- fully transmitted to the parties for whom they are intended without charge or loss. Too often charitable subscriptions for such an object pass through so many hands, and there ia so much red tape formality and charges, that a part of the amount is frittered away. It has been said—though perhaps in a somewhat exagge- rated way—that it sometimes takes five dollars to get a twenty-five cent subscription to the object of its destination, Every one knows, however, that contributions through a public journal which is the recognized representative and organ of the mass of the community are safe, and that the full amount will reach those for whom they are contributed, The sum sent to Mayor Hall from this office is but an {nstal- ment, for subscriptions are slill coming. It is gratifying to know, from the aggregate amount already contributed from various sources, that the widows and orphans of the unfortunate Avondale miners will be placed beyond imme- diate want, and that, as far as human efforts can do anything, their sufferings will be re- lieved. Trusting to Luck. “Our motive in seeking to have the mines connected,” says the operator of the Avon- dale mine, ‘‘was because we felt con- scious that one day the men would be lost in case of accident.” It is noteworthy that every expert who has given testimony on this mine disaster has expressed the same thought that ‘‘some day” there would be an accident ; but the tunnel was not cut. Nothing else was done; the company trusted to luck, and the disaster came. What shall be done to the company? Nothing. So saysineffect the following verdict of the jury after nearly a week’s patient investigation :— That the said Palmer Steele and others came to their deaths in the Avondale mines; that the cause of their death was the exhaustion of atinospheric air or @ prevalence of sulphuric and carbonic acid gases in ‘the said Avondale minos, caused by the burnmg of the load house and breaker at said mine on the 6th day of September, thereby destroying the air- courses Mt from the mine through the shaft; that the fire originated from the furnace in the mine taking effect on the wooden brettice in the up cast air- course leading from the bottom of the shaft to the lead house. The jury regard the present system of mining in a large number of mines now Wig, by shafts as insecure and unsafe to the miners, au would strongly recommend, in all cases where prac- ticable, two places for tngress and egress and a more perfect ventilation, thereby rendering greater Pei ad the lives o: the miners under any similar accident. This verdict annihilates the theory of the mine owners that the fire was kiodled by incendiaries, and by directly saying that it originated from the furnace morally puts the guilt of all the slaughter at the company’s door, but hardly furnishes a point for the initiation of legal proceedings. Mr. Roebuck and Reverdy Johnson. Mr. John Arthur Roebuck, at one period the Tear'em of the British House of Commons, attended the Cutlers’ Feast in Sheffield the other day, and, of course, delivered a speech. The oJd gentleman should not mingle in such festivities just at present, or else the Master Cutler should order a better description of plum pudding and purer wines, for Mr. Roe- buck never partakes of his hospitalities without becoming dyspeptic, flatulent, ‘‘ugly,” and in fact pugnacious. At present he wants Eng- land to fight, not only to fight, but to fight the world. His challenge reads thus:—‘‘I want to know what England would be if she could not face the world. Recollect that we have around us jealous nations of every sort and description, from a despot to a free republic, and we have to recollect that they will be ever ready to coerce and put their foot upon England.” Just so, Mr. Roebuck learns nothing. He is ever looking back to the days of ‘Duncan, Nelson, Howe and Jervis,” and endeavors to ignore the age of iron-clads and the naval battle in Hampton Roads. Iron-clads have completely effaced the ‘wooden walls” of Britain, and she will have quite enough to do in future to manage her twelve hundred thou- sand paupers, the trades’ unions, the demo- cracy, the Irish land system, and the law of first entail, or primogeniture, in estate, with- out fighting. No use in the retrospect, even although both France and the United States are making very excellent cutlery and do not goso much to Sheffield. Why should they? Itis a pretty sharp place, and yet somewhat seductive, as is known to Mr. Reverdy John- son, who has scarcely yet recovered from the effects of its puddings and roast beef, and “common origin and blood,” and ‘‘race,” and “wine with you, sir,” and ‘American gentle- men good sort of fellows,” and so forth. Reportep European Coaition ror Cusa AND SPAIn.—The Madrid newspapers state that the revolutionary government of Spain will endeavor to crash out the Cuban revolution with the allied aid of France, England and Austria, and that the last named Powers have officially assured the Spaniards that they are “favorable to the rights of Spain” in the matter, We are told also that General Prim is much encouraged in this direction by the result of his recent interview with Napoleon; and again we have the news, by special cable telegram from London, that the coalition report was denied in that city. It don’t matter much either way. If the ‘great Powers” of Europe feel soinclined, why, let them come. They have tried the experiment already. England got away from Mexico in good time. France, with the unfortunate Hapsburg, remained. Napo- leon knows how it ended. Sc eigen a a ake ee a ei reece er SS Fisnina for the market has been spoiled this season, in one of the rivers near New York, by the anchoring of a hulk to make fish oil and the casting its refuse into the stream. The growth of kerosene establishments on all the streams tends in the same way. What will the coming man do for fish? Perhaps, according to Darwin, all this will breed a fish who can live in the contaminated streams. But what will that fish taste like? Moreover, how about the oyster? Is it possible that we may some time have all our oysters as horri- ble to the palate as is the English oyster ? Women’s Riants iv Cutoaco.—The women’s rights women, the same old two-and-six, have been holding a grand pow-wow in Chicago in behalf of the rights of women. But if they have not their rights to the fullest extent in Chicago we should like to know what it is they find wanting there. We have had a sort of an idea that Chicago was the very place for these palavering women, of all places in the world, and that once there they would stay there; for can not they do there just as they please? and what more would they ask? Quire Usxecessary.—The Manchester cot- ton men—merchants, manufacturers and spin- ners—had a meeting last evening for the purpose of considering the condition of trade in Lancashire. Parliament is to be asked to inquire into the causes of the depressed state of capital and labor. Parliament need not spend much time on the subject. Both are consequences of the American rebellion and the recognition and “aid and comfort” given to it by England. Prorgssor Aqassiz says that in 1769 the “first throb’ of the American revolution had not yet disturbed the relations of the mother country and her colonies.” Louis is a good authority on bones, but he is wrong on this occasion, for the Stamp act—the great bone of contentlon—was passed in 1765, Arrnur, the son of Victoria, who is delight- ing the Dominioners with his presence, is a keen lad, In a long ride of nearly three hun- dred miles the other day he cast off the outside crowd and permitted none to join bis party that did not belong in it save three reporters for the New York press, He knows how to choose. Reaping His Tires Crear.—Mr. A. %. Stewart holds now a clear title to the exte.sive property of Hempstead Plains, and this is likely to be good news for the people who waat to live out of town and have an easy way In. Buy Guipns.—Prim’s thought was that Spain had better let Cuba go, because her going would be at most ‘a question of time.” Having exchanged views with Napoleon he now thinks differently. Does he believe that Napoleon's judgment, with Mexico in the record, {3 4 safo.one to steer by in American affairs 2 Staxa ov A Broken Lra.—The doctoring and changing of names and squabbling over their city ticket by the Philadelphia democrats.

There is 3 wholesome activity in every branch of trade which presages an excellent season. Dry goods have fallen in price, and hence there will be a larger consumption, because people can afford to purchase more largely. Indeed, all the necessaries of life have reached a com- paratively moderate value to that of two yeara ago, which will enable people to spend their money more liberally upon the luxuries and extras of the family. There is every indication that the fall season will be a most prosperous one, and perhaps the very best evidence of all is to be found in the advertising columns of the Heratp, which are the reflex of the pro- gress of trade in the metropolis, and, indeed, of the whole country, because New York really represents the United States in a broader and more practical sense than Paris is said to repre- sent France, Never before at this season of the year has the advertising business of the HeERatp been so large as it is now, and we accept this fact as ample testimony that the fall season is going to be a prosperous one, because we have noticed, by close observation year after year, that as our advertising busi- ness increased at the opening of each season the success of almost every branch of business was very clearly and pointedly indicated. We look forward, therefore, to a splendid fall trade, to rich results for our merchants, good times for our mechanics, cheap goodsand cheap food for the working people, and a very happy time generally for all who labor, whether it be in the counting room, in the workshop, at the desk, behind the counter or on the farm. We want a good fall trado- to set us up, and we are very likely to have it. Stoxies’ despatch to the Spanish govern- ment in regard to Cuba was apparently the means of giving the Spanish people the first in- timation they have had of the real atate of affairs in that island. They had taken very rose- colored views on the subject from government bulletins, and suddenly they learned that Cuba had so nearly slipped away that the United States was talking about recognizing her as a belligerent power.

Regatta of the Neptune Yacht Club—Exciting Contest—Casanities—Close of the Season. ‘The fall regatta of the Neptune Yacht Club took place yesterday on the Shrewsbury river, It was throughout » most interesting affair and brought the season al the club house toa very satisfactory termination. The Neptune Club ts one of the oldest and most sociable institutions of the kind ex- isting, and although its aim is not entirely confined tothe advancement of yachting interests, itis nevertheless in possession of many swift and handsome yachts that have thoroughly demon- strated thelr excellent capabilities iu several re- gattas during the season. The race yesterday was intended more as a fitting display for the closing of, perhaps, the most enjoyable season that has eve- characterized the existence of the club, The folr lowing were the entries.

The other thecal hugged the shore, and the wind was comparatively the east but little headway was made. Altera very close siruggle, during which the Mary Jaue and Duaderberg were almost beam and beam for @ mule, the Jormer came in the winner of the first prize by one minute, the Danderverg second ana the Addie Taylor third, being about two minutes belund It should be mentioned, however, that the last men- Vioned yacht lost ber rudder almost tmmediat after starting, aud was thereby deprived of dis- playing her well-known qualitications, ‘The race ex- cited great interest. Subsequently ascull race of three miles was ar- ranged between Mr. A. Brown and Mr, J. KE. Nolan. The contest gave rise. to much speculation, The competitors started from a stakeboat off the club house, and were to row around a buoy near Red Bank. Mr, Nolan was the tirst to dtp his oars, Coa! led of with a vigorous stroke. The contestants ha scarcely proceeded half a mile when Mr. Brown broke one of his oars and was consequently com- pelled to abandon the race. Mr. Nolan shen rowed over the course and carried the honors, ‘The mem- bers then adjourned to the club house, where the banquet of the season was given. Feet, t) as from Yachting Notes, The pennant regatta of the Atlantic Yacht Club, on the 29th inst., will doubtless be an interesting as well as a very exciting affair, on account of the number of excellent sloops that are announced to compete for the nonors. As previously mentioned, the race between the schooners will probably be confined to the Lojs'and the Mystic, but the moat attractive portion of the entire contest will, most unquestionably, be the race between the fine sloop Madeline and the samous Uracie, Mr. Jacob Vourtus, Ji, the owner of the Mad- @line, has recently made some improvements on his vessel, and although the Gracie 18 almost proverbial for good luck, it 1s not by any means im- probable that should there be a good stif breeze & well contested struggle will occur, The Madeline and the Gracie are among the best sloops in either the New York or Atlantic Yacht Clubs and a thor- ough test of their capacities will create considerable interest. There are to be four classes of compet. tors, and the start will take place from Gowanus Bay on the day mentioned, over the usual course. The regatta at Greenville, which took place on Monday, from a stakeboat oppo. site the Idie Hour, completely tried the powers of the contestants, there being [ee breeze throughout the entire race. There were ‘hree competitors, viz., the Bella and biting Tn! the Bayonne Yacht Club, and the Favorita, of the Harlem Club. The course was about twenty Lope] and the prize $590. The Bella led oi veautifully and quickly: rushed ahead, leaving the Matilaa and Favorita to struggle for second place. The Bella, a new boat and almost au exact cupy of the famous hag eos thas so distinguished herseif last year, darted forth like an arrow and arrived almost fourteen minutes in advance of her opponents. ‘The contest between the Matilda and Favorita was extremely pretty. The Matilda led the way @ considerable portion of the race, and though meeting with @ mishap on the second turn defeated tho Favorita about a minute Mr. N. Duryea has issued a challenge, in which he offers to back the Bella, Juta@and Addie Taylor tor $500 each against any other yachts in the country of smaller dimensions, the Bella being twenty-seven: feet tive inches, the’ Addie Taylor twenty-two feet, end the Julla nineteen feet. The same gentieman nas also chatienged the owner of the Mattie, now in New Oricans, to sati against the Bella for the sumof $10,000, either over the usual course In New York bay or at New Orleans, ‘Tho great ed dag earned by the Mattie was thoroughly merited, It is thought however, that the new yacht could ably conten against her. Preparations are being made for the fall regatta on the Bayonne Yacht Club, which is looked forward to with much pleasure. WAVAL (NTELLIGENGE, Commodore J. P.
