De Lessep# Bride of Sixteen. PARIS, Oct, 20, 1869. All the high life left in Paris 1s in consternation. Prince de Metternich is wounded, and no one can find out the real cause of his duel with the Comte de Beaumont. What every one knows does but add to the desire to know what is not to come out, and orders are so formal that the papers are compelled to contradics every version they produce of the event. Mme, de Metternich’s supplications to all her journalistic friends are so fervent and the sym- pathy she causes gosincere that the truly attached have given their bachelor oath not to reveal what has still to be hidden; but the following details on the meeting are romance enough for this corre- spondence:— That partial suicide, called a duel, took place on @ small islet in the middle of the Ruine, near Kehl. Some delay occurred bevween the dave of the exchanged challenge and the day appointed for the combat. he Prince, a8 an ambassador and knight of the Golden Fieece, had, according to the etiquette of his court, to obtain permission from the Emperor of Austria before he fought, or have to give over his resignation. When Francis Joseph heard the full particulars of what had caused the disagree- ment between them he did not hesitate to counte- nance the duel, aiter fruitless endeavors to prevent it ‘The seconds of the Prince were the Comte de Sagan and Comte Wilsersheim; those of M. de Beaumont tho Vicomto d’Orcet and Comte do Gau- ville. ‘The weapon selected by Prince de Metternich was the broadsword; M.de Beaumont is not an adeptin the use of it, so thathe charged with as much suria as if handling the French ¢pée, and in- stantancously pierced ihe Prince’s arm through and through. lie was carried to the chateau of Mme. de Bussidres, who is the mother of Mme. de rourtalés, and resides in the neighborhood of Kehl, The bulle- tin of yesterday was favorabie, though the wound at first presented a very serious aspect, one of the ar- teries having been severed by the Comte de Beau- mont’s thrust, ‘The great news of the day comes from Constanti- nople, with dazzling descriptions of the chateau of Beulerbey, Which has been fitted up with Oriental magnificence for tho reception of the Empress, 1 will content mysclf with giving your readers a sketch of the keruel rooms of the suite inhabited by Eugénie of France, leaving the vestibules and outer halls, which are hung with the magnificent draperies of Scutari and furnished with Arabian splendor, to theimagiuation, After having implored any whose eyes are weak to put on a green shade or read this under a parasol, 1 lead them to the reception saion, it 1s @ hai tity metres long by thirty-tive wide, ‘The Turnmiture is gut wood, covered with rich Lyons silk, paie blue and white flowers, In the centre of this Too 18 @ large tabie, pn which is a massive giver clock, with a candelabrum of the same metal on euch side, aud two colossal Sevres china vases mounted on gilt pedestals.

TROTTING AT THE FASH.ON COURSE. The postponed race of Friday between Jacob Eck- erson’s bay gelding Captain smith, Dr. Ogle’s chest- nut gelding Pet and Ben Daniels’ bay gelding Big Jim, mile heats, best three in flve, in harness, was finished yesterday at the Fashion Course. The firth heat trotted on the firat day left the bettmg frater- nity at sea, as Captain Smith had won two heats, Big Jim two suti Pet one, At the opening of the pools yesterday Captain Smith had the call, the average being, among a great number sold, Captain Smith, $100; Big Jim, $31; Pet, $16. Two addi- tional heats were trotted, Pet winning the first and Captain Smith the second, which gave the latter the race. There also took place a match race for $200 between John Murphy's chestnut mare Louise and Join Doty’s bay mare Topsy, mile heats, best three in five, in harness. This match excited all the more interest as on Thursday they trotted a mile heat race, which was won by Topsy in three straight heats; but yesterday the tables were turned, and Loutse beat her com- petitor in like manner, scoring much better time than on the previous trial, The following are the detaus of the two heats trotted to finish THE POSTPONED RACE, First Heat.—Big Jim had the pole, Pet second and Captain Smi* outside, where he had bee placed for .unning the previous evening m the fifi heat. They got the word the third trial, and into the turn Big Jim was leading Pet one length, Captain Smith third, having left his feet and indulging in as much running as he can at apytime show, At the quarter pole Big Jim and Pet had a very pretty struggle, passing it neck and neck, in forty seconds. Captain Smith settled to square work again on the backstretch and aitempted to reach the front, but tailed, breaking again and losing such & distance as to place him permanently inthe rear. Pet collared big Jim a few yards into the backstretch, and at the half-mile pole was two Tengths tn advance, in Going along the flush. ing end Fet retatued his leading posttion, and swung into the homestreten four lengths in front, Big Jim second, five lengths ahead oi Captain Smith.
