Jerrold’s Life of the Third Napoleon. feces ie te GLIMPSES OF THE BONAPARTSS, This is the first tnstaiment of a book which has Deen long ueraided as the authorized Iie of the Jate Emperor Napoleon Ul, Mr, Jerreid came to te work with singular advant His long residence in Paris had familiar m with ait that is best worth knewing coucerning French politics and personalities and the social aud mate. | rial {ife of the people, His long perience guve the | requisite taciiity and ski!l in dealing with authort- nes ore than most Engitshmen. Mr, Jerrold | had the prelimimary training to quality tim to | write a good li of Napoleon UL his crowning advantage 1 een in the free use of all the avaiable origmal papers ¢f the late | Emperor, which his widow, Eugénie, freely communicated for the purpose. Th were of great extent and of inestimable value, Beginning to write at the early age of six years, Prince Louis Napoleon cont through life to make profuse @na constant use of the pen. His letters, journals and fragments of autobiography Ulumi- { nated every part of bis checkered and romantic | career, Through life be had been in the havit of Spoiling more paper, perhaps, than any monarch of modern times, He wassinguiarly careful as to | what got into the pre concerging bim and his amily. When the “Nouvelle Biograpbie Générale, edited by Dr. Hoeler, ned the letter N, that volume (the thirty-seventh) was heid back trom | the subseriters for many months, while all the Bumerous vranches the “Maison ol should be carefully written up and revised. Gifted as he is with all the advantages for such a work, Mr. Blanchard Jerrold in this first instal- ment of it displays nO marked literary skill. His | style is clear and agreeable rather than fascinat- ing. He isplainly not to be ranked among the masters of historical composition. We are in- clined to think that his forte hes in descriptive writing, and we cite as one of the best examples Of the style of the work the followirg sketch of Mile at Malmaison, where Hortense, the mother of Napoleon UL, lived so happily with the afterwards ubhappy Josephine in the days that preceded the First Empire :— Malmaison was in its fuliest after Marengo. In the peace which fodowed tnis great battle Napoieon spent many domestic days @t nis Sans Souci, which bad grown in beauty and completeness year by year, and Was now periect; fuil of surprises and ¢ and sover parklands, with artfully adjusted Streams murmuriog where an artist’s skill had bid toem flow, 1t was, perhaps, Nature dressed in ribands, Watteau’s rusticity; but there was un- touched nature, too, and he who chafed amid the formal parterres could wander to the wood be- yond. Toe special charms that Josephine gave to her little Kingdom, her daughter Hortense after- wards imparted to ber married home (sad | piace, though, it was to her), at St Leu. Josephine’s gardens and grounds became justly tamous for their striking variety and for the matchless collections of trees, shrubs and | flowers that she got together, Napoleon’s repre- Bentatives abroad, and Napoleon himsell, always | bore in mind Josephine’s passion for flowers, i giaddened her with fresh favorites from every clime. She peopled her little realm with buds. Here was the first jardin q@acclimatation in France. As in her salons she brought the men of ‘the old time and the men of the new time together, go In her grounds she mingled the stifMess of the ruled groves of Le Notre with the romantic wild- ess Of ature, which the French call tue English garden. | Everywhere appeared the voluptuous taste of | the daughter of Martinique and of Paris, whose dreams were of the gorgeous nature in which her | cradie had been rocked, and who loved ber fowers better than her With the chateau the same glowing spirit reigned. It was approached under a tented portal. Two Obelisks IM red marble, covered with hiero- glyphs trom Richelieu’s chateau in Poitou, haa ‘Weicomed the conqueror from Egypt. Napoleon's working room tented, as tae chambers of un- happy Hortense were at Arenenberg many years aiterwards, The dining, drawing and billiard rooms were all en suite. But the private house of Napoleon and Josephine and their children was apart, sbut off and lying away irom the gay com- by ol the chateau, This was the home within ome. We may linger over the few happy years of girl- hood which Hortense ce Beauharnais spent at Malmaison, because they are the only thorourhly Drigut passages in her life. We see her here, amid her stepiather’s dazzling company, at her best. A sunple, bright-witted, accomplished girl, just Unged with the tender melancholy cast over her by the misfortunes of her childhood, but full of en- thusiasin and delighted to escape irom the mono- Tonos simplicities at Mme. Campan’s seminary at St. Germain, she bewitched many of tue soldiers ‘Whose eyes jeil upon ler, in ner plain white frock, as she sat by the stately and gracious Josephine. The spirit of the book (if it may be judged as a’ whole from this first instalment) is that of en- Uhusiastic admiration for its hero, The work will Goubiless be something more than a mere pane- gyric of Napoleon LiL; its facts and docaments furnish information of & value not. to be over- ot looked, but that it is panegyric in substance no | attentive reader of this first volume wiil deny, We cannot look to Mr. Jerrold to do epic justice to the career of the Emperor who did so much to destroy the liberties of his country, and whose ambition left It, at bis final departure from power, @uch a crushing legacy of debt and dishonor. This first volume of Mr. Jerrold’s life brings down the career of Prince Louis Napoleon to his | exile in America after the iatlure of tue ridiculous | attempt at revolution at St: We will not dweil on its occasional mi: ils of the in- Jancy, the precocity or the briliiancy of the young Wrince. Mr. Jerrold thinks le was a great original genius from the cradie, and in this theory Mr.” Jerrold is at issue with the common opinion of the world, The fact ts, young Louis borrows lustre in those early days from his brilliant and beautifal manners, as well as ‘rom the poetic surroundings which Mr, Jerrold 18 careful to set of in his best Gescriptive style. Here is @ pit of description of the lie of the Queen of Hoiland at St. Leu, when | her uusband, Lows Bonaparte, was King of the Dutch. Sud as her marriage had been, Hortense set to Work gayly enough to make her house a second MAlmaison, The ancient seat of the De Montmo- TemGies was tricked oul in splenaid holiday attire, Hgalite’s sombre chateau became a lady's dainty palace. The gardens soon blazed with flowers, which Hortense loved with all wer mother’s inten: sity: a river Was led to Wind througu shady groves; @ noble orangery arose; pineapples ripened in a aclous Conservatory; sweet surprises of light | and shade met the courtiers and senators in their | walks; the beautiful Creole—mistress of the fairy land—appeared in ber chair in an atmosphere of violets, borne by _ pictur- esque basque carriers, capped with tne verst aud gay with natural colors, to th fiverside. The prodigious char-d-banc swept past along the groves, carrying chattering maids of gonor and holiday-making statesmeu—some Napoieon himseli in tue midst—on the way to Chateau de la Chasse, to Ecouen, of which Mn Campau was now directress, or to Moutmoren St. Leu was a radiant place while Horten lived there, immediately after her marriage. ‘Ti sombre character of the master of St. Leu bad not yet made ttself ‘eit. The dull, heavy, lonely days Were tocome wheo the light-hearted chale- laine would weep tn solitude with her children. The first year ol murriage was not an unhappy one. Hortense gave birth to her first child Octo- ber 10, 1802. And, at the time, she and Louis ap- pear to have been on affectionate, or at any rate iriendly terms; for Mme, Campau writes to con- gratulate her on the wfuce and sensibility which Louis had shown on the occasion.

CRICKET. The Great English Matches. Never, in the history of Engiand’s national game, did it flourish to the exteat it does now. London Telegraph, in commenting on this fact, says:— Cricket, whether deservedly or not, is certainly of all English games the most popular und uni- versal; nor is its acknowledge supremacy Its conditions, it is true, are somewhat altered since the introduction of overband bowling and the abolition of the oid Tules which regulated the height of the delivery. Day vy aay our quick bowlers appear to grow quicker, and season after season pads and gioves have tobe more and more carefully constructed. The bowling, too, in its turn, has reacted upon the | batting, and our champion batsmen now hit harder | than ever, and are seldom to be trusted | to play up to their real mark, unless matched against a delivery 80 flerce and accurate as to seem like a shot fromagun. Slashing bats- men, again, have improved the quality of the field- ing, and altogether the game has so altered that the champions of half a century ago would now | find it somewhat dificult to hold their own in an | ordinary county match. What India rubber cush- ions and the side stroke have been for billiards round-hand bowling has been for our great national game; and the result is that, whereas in the good old times everybody played cricket more or jess “indifferently well,” the game now needs not only a quick eye and a steady hand, but also considerable courage and nerve and very long and | continuous practice. Yet, notwithstanding this | process of “specialization,” its old supremacy re- Tt has all the headlong gatety | The | mains indisputable, and, so far from showing any | symptom of dying out, the game has, on the con- trary, definitely established itself—not, perhap: in America, where “base bali’ has nearly su planted it, but at any rate in all the English col- ontes and even under the tropical skies of India, Ceylon and Chins. Nearly balfa century has clapsed since the first contest took place between the cricket elevens of the celeprated English schools of Eton and Har. Tow, and never from the time the first annual match became the leading cricket event of the season has so iarge an attendance been seen as at Lord’s Grounds, London, July 10, over fifteen thousand people being present, and that, too, with the entrance fee raised from a shilling to half a crown, to lessen the crowd. Bell's Live, in com- menting on the Match, says :— The increased tariff, however, had no effect on those who affect this match, and they came in thousands on both days notwithstanding. To give a description 0: the scene which presented itself on the opening day, at four o’clock in the atter- noon, would only be a repetition of what has so olten been done before; it was nearly the same as on many previous occasions, excepting that fashion had stepped in and done its work, dress, perhaps, never being seen to greater advantage. ‘rhe grand stand was crowded with ladies princi- pally; So was the temporary staud, close by, and the bew terrace in Dark’s corner. Altogether the scene Was charming in the extreme, and we did not hear of the slightest accident or unpleasant- ness, excepting the rain of the second day, to mar | @ gathering traught with so many pleasant asso- ciations, and so much interest to the bigher class of cricket admirers, ‘The result of the contest was the success of the Eton eleven, who scored 143 and 159 against 155 and 145, Eton then having five wickets to tall. Tne first match was played in 1805, Harrow has won twenty games and Eton twenty-four, Mr. A. J. Webbe’s 74 and 80 were the best scores on the Har- row side, and Mr. E. Whitmore’s %4and 61 “not out” the best for Eton, Mr. H. i. Meek and Mr. W. F. Fordes bore off the paim in bowling, Previous to this match the two contests between the “Geatlemen” and the “Players” took place, the first at the Oval and the second at Lord’s, At | the first place the Gentlemen won by 48 runs, their Scores being 165 and 256 against 116 and 268, F. ‘Townseud’s 59 being the best score on the part of the Gentiemen, and Lockwood's 67, not out, the best for the Players. In the match at Lord’s which Joliowed the Players won with two wickets to Jail by scores of 185 and 161 against 231 and 114. Mi Hornby’s 63 was the best score cn the Gentiemen side, and that of Lock wooa—79—on the other. On July 15 the county elevens of Yorkshire and Sussex met at SheMeld, the scores being 121 and 164 for Yorkshire and 190 and 48 for Sussex. Lock- wood led the Yorkshire score with 60 and Phillips that of Sussex with 45, In the grand county match of July 15, Notting- hamshire vs. Middlesex, Nottingham won by 832i to 209, A. Shaw's 60 being the best score. To tHE Eprtor or THE HERALD:— Isee the following brilliant idea in your journal of this morning :— Some of our rurai contemporaries speak in won- der and others in reproacn of the attitude of the Metropolitan press on this subject. We are toid by some that the press has been “subsidized” by the friends o! Mr. Beecher. Utners are protoundly grateful Jor the patience and consideration shown to him, Some ol our Western iriends, who are dis- pcsed to mistake brutality for independence, argue that Mr. Tilton must be destroyed and Mr. Beecher saved, ho matter at what sacrifice of truth and justice, and that this 18 the auimating purpose of the New York press.

THE NORTH POLE. Russian Special Search fer the Austrian Ex- Ploring Ship Tegetthoff. WHEN THE VESSEL WAS LAST SEEN. [Vienna (July 19) Correspondence of the London Standard.) The Russian government has announced its in- tention of sending out an expedition in search of the Austrian ship Tegetthod, of which nothing has been heard since the 2ist of August, 1872. The ship was provisioned only for three years, so that unless help reaches them before the winter it may come too late to save the lives of those on board, Geographers here are divided between two opinions—either that the expedition is doomed to perish, if it be not already lost, or that, in October or November of this year, we shall have tele- graphic news from Wardoe or Hammeriest of its being homeward bound., Be that as it may, it 18 too soon to sing the dirge of these four and twenty bold navigators. The name of their ship betokens success, though not gain. The hero- ism of Admiral Tegetthoff at Lissa did not prevent the loss of Venetia, but It maintained the hovor and confidence of the Austrians. And so, perhaps, @ similar tate awaits the good ship Tegetthon—it will not attain tts object, but will save its honor and find its way back. HISTORY OF THE AUSTRIAN EXPEDITION. The Austrian North Pole Expedition 1s the chila ofthe German one, Although Germany has fur- nished such an unusually strong contingent to the rapks of discoverers, especially tn Africa, and on all occasions has shown as lively an inter- est in all geographical questions as Eng- jand herself, yet her name had never been associated with the North Pole. Dr. Petermann, of Gotha, for years tried in vain to rouse her ambition to explore the Polar regions, till at length the events of 1806 produced @ more lively national feeling, and the irst expe- dition wad organized. It consisted of a single ship, the Greeniander, under Captain Boldeway, and left for the Polar Sea inthe summer of 1863, It was intended to serve in some sort as a pioneer, and returnea in a few montis, as originally in- tended, A greater expedition soon followed, two ships being equipped by the Germans in 1869, to make a voyage of discovery in the Arctic regions, and, if possible, penetrate to the Pole itsell, Their course was to lie along the tce- bound coast of East Greenland, and from there they were to attempt toreach the North Pole. The Germania and the Hansa left the Bremen Harbor, June 15, 1869, and nothing was | heard of them till in September, 1870, the crew | suddenly reappeared. The crew and scientific men | of the Hansa returned on board a loreign vessel, in the most miserabie plight. ‘hey had lost their own ship, suifered a most terribte and disastrous voyage and encountered adventures of all kinds. The Germania, however, entered the harbour of Bremen in good condition, richly jaden with sci- entific booty. Two Austrians took part in this expedition— Lieutenant Payer of the Rifles, celebrated for bis investigations of glaciers, and Dr. Gustave Laube, Protessor at the Prague Universi y—but the credit North Germans. @ emulation which the ex- clusion of Austria from Germany excited between | the Germans of both countries made the proposal of Vount Wilczek to ft out an Austrian Polar ex- pedition extremely popular, and in ashort time | the necessary sum for the equipment of the Tegett- hoff was raised by private subscriptions, ‘The ship Was built on purpose for the voyage and furnished | with every requisite and improvement which ex- perience had proved to be of use in former ex- Peditions. it went equally well under sail or steam, and the steering apparatus had been most | carefully attended to. Three years’ provisions | were placed om board, and fuel for the same period, which could also be replenished from the floating Wood which is jound on the coasts of Nova Zempia and Siberia, Captain Weyprecht, one of the best officers in the Austrian fleet, and Lieutenant Payer, for the land journeys, were the two com- | manders. Under them were five other officers and | the Norwegian Varlsen, the old experienced stecrs- | man among ice fives, who has been forty times among the Polar ice. The sallors, all Dalmatians from the Austrian fleet, were as good as any in the world. Tall, strong men, exposed in their native world, and thus inured to all weathers. Wild by nature, they are usually held in discipline by the iron rule of the German officers, but Sometimes— as at Lissa, when the grappling irons were used— they exhibit the fury ol the tiger, and nothing can | resist them then, When at the end of August, | 1872, the Norwegian satlors had already put on | their winter clothes, the Dalmatians, in the light- est summer dress, amused themselves on the ice, aud executed tue orders of their captain with the | oo as if they had been in the harbor | of Pola. The Tegetthof was to have sailed round Nova Zembla, to the east of which a bay free from ice | and with warmer water was supposed to lie. Dr. | Petermann had advanced the hypothesis that the Gulf Stream tell into a sea round the Nortn Pole, the water of which was warmed by it, andin no less than thirteen voyages undertaken from 1869 to 1871 facts Were observed which seemed to confirm this supposition, From the Carey Sea the Austrians were to sail direct east, and endeavor to reach Cape Chejyuskin, Irom whence it was thought possible that, by means of the nomadic tribes, they could send letters to Europe through Siberia. ‘There they were to winter and the following sun mer to penetrate as far as possible to the North | Poie and return by the Pacitic Ocean. During the | time that the ship was wintering in Peslmaland or | Teimyr, Lieutenant Payer intended to travel north | and eust in sledges. Whiie the tegettnom was | being built shes og Weyprecht and Lieutenant Payer undertook @ voyage to the Arciic Sea in the little Norwegian ‘vessel the Ibsjoern, and | in the summer of 1871, in a latitude ‘ot 78 deg. they found open water. ‘he foliowing summer the Tegettnon put to sea, and somewhat | later Count Wilczek, the tather of the expedition, | accompanied by Admiral Baron Douolebsky von | Sterneck, the geologist Hoeter, Paerl, the weil known guide to the great Glockner, a photug- | Tapher and @ huotsiian, undertook a voyage in the above named ibsjoery, from ‘Tromsoee north, to establish a depot of provYsions and coals at some | etthof couid draw supplies, PARTING COMPANY—A LasT SIGHT OF THE SHIP. On the 20th of June the Ibsjoern left the harbor of Tromsve and steered for Iceland, the south cape of which came in sight on the 26th, Untavorabie and stormy winds, however, prevented their jand- ing till the oth, when the Ibsjoern anchored in Horn Sound, On July 6 the ship leit Horn Sound to search tor the edge of the ice and so sill through the Arctic Sea east. But all attempis to penetrate north of Hope Island tailed on account of the heavy ice masses which blocked up the pass- age. After going north to a little over 77 deg = the: were obliged to return and sail round Hope Island to the western side of it. Peteriann’s suppositions, founded on former ex- Perience, and especially the iavorable reports made by Weyprecht in the turmer year, proved in- correct this season. After struggiing with the ice incessantly for fourteen days the coast of Nova Zembta. near Cape Britwin me in sigut. Un the foliow! morning the ice had entirely disap- peared; 1.2 sea, as far the eye could reach, was iree from ice and smooth as glass; even the ice-blink which had accompanied the expe- dition during the whole voyage snddenly | disappeared. The wind was favoravie, and so the mouth of the Matochkin Shar was reached without dimicuity on the 29th of July. Here two Norwegiau vessels and two Russian schooners were lying at anchor. On the«6th of August the Ibsjoern weighed anchor and steered north, Little hope was entertained of falling in with the Tegetthotf. and it was looked upon as a fata mor- gana when, on the 10th the man on the look-out announced the undefined and distorted form ot a three-masted soip, However, on the following lying fast The little ibsjoern succeeded | aud on the 12th bound in the ice, in working 118 Way to her, at noon @ joyous meeting took piace on board the Tegetthoff. Both ships now steered northwards till the Jollowing day, when by the Barent Islands the ice effectually prevented all further advance. Cape Nassau, where the depot Was originally to have been placed, was only about 100 miles distant, but, ali circumstances con- Sidered, it Was resolved to form tie depot on one of the Barent Islands. A cleit between two rocky walls discovered on the not thernmost island olfered an excellent hiding place, and here by'the ucited labors of both stips, the provisions were | salely stowed away. One of the motives which de- cided Count Wilczek to give up any furtuer advance was the iiness of Paieri, aman, oue would have thought, inured to dangers and privations of all sorts; but the sea sickness, the strange and powerful impressions made upon him by all he | saw, the struggles with the iceand the creaking and groaning of ine ship produced such an effect upon him that he first became dejected and at last showed symptoms of insanity. It was only when he had crossed the Semmering and once more seen the green mountains of Styria that he was cured of his melancholy. On the 2ist,of August the low state of the barometer and a terrible northwest wind gave the signal fora break- up. After a hearty leave-taking both ships started at noon. The Tegetthof, ander steam, went north- east to round Cape Nassau if possibie, and seek her Winter quarters On the cast coast of Nova Zembia, | the Ibsjoern southwest, along tbe coast. Shortly aiter the Lille setae a heavy snowstorm came on, in which the Tegetthoi disappeared, and when; later, the weather cleared she was no longer in sight, The return of the Ibsjoern wiong the west coast of Nova Zembla was accomplished Witnout accident, Gn the 1st of September the Warando} Isiands, #t the mouth of the Petcnora, were reached, and twe Russian pilots came on board, and, in the inidst of a violent northeast wind and heavy snowiall, steered 2 aalely tuto Bo tives pad auchared her of Bolwapskbar | Ld | at Essex Market Court yesterday. ; & modification of the ordinances under which cer- | the State tax is levied There Count Wilezck, Admiral Sterneck, Professor Hoeier, with the now insane Paileri, left tne Ibsjoern, and procuring some little boats through the help of the Russian wood merchant Stdorott, the Rothschild of Northwest siberla, they coi tinued their journey in them up the Petchora River and the Tchma, across the watershed bi tween Petchora and’ the Dwina, through tho Ketuma, Rama, St, Catherine's Canal and the Wyicbegda to djuk, from whence ‘he journey was made by land, Since the 2ist of August, 1872, no news of the Tegetthotf has reached Europe; yet, during last suinmer, several ships were able to sail round the oe coast of Nova Zembia and into the Carey THE AMENITIES OF JOURNALISM. A Great Western Editor Expounds the Law—When an Editor Should Fight. {From the Louicville Courier-Journal.) We have laid before our readers all the publica- tions relating to the diMiculty between Mr. Cock- erill, the managing editor of the Cincinnatt En- quirer, on the one side, and Judge P. U. Major and General George B. Hodge on the other, and with- out going into the merits of the origin of the trou- ble, we have Just one criticism to make on the face | of the papers. The laws of this Commonweaich forbid not only duelling, but they forbid the send- ing and the carrying o! a challenge to fignt a duel, The law not only denounces a penalty for a viola- tion of its provisions, but our constitution eudeay- ors to make the offence peculiarly odious | by disquaittying the offender from holding any office of honor or trust. In its effort | to accomplish this the constitution has even gone to the length of requiring a test oath irom every State officer, It is true opr at has confined its severity in thid mattér to challenges passing be- tween citizens of Kentucky, either within or with- out the State. Iti3 possible the protibition was thus restricted under a false and foolish apprehen- sion that il 16 were otherwise some outsider might question the chivairy of ‘this side of the river,’’ and a door ought to be left upen to vindicate Ken- tucky courage. The constitutional provision was & compromise in its terms, but its general parpose Was to stigmatize the practice 01 duelling and sending, carrying and accepting challenges, and its moral if not its legal denunciation extends to the whole world, Judge Major is one of the circuit judges of this State, and is specially charged with the adminis- tration of the criminal laws in his judicial district. General Hodge 1s a state Senator, a member of the Bar, and thereby specially brought upver the test oath requirement, and a candidate for thie oilice of Governor, ‘The letter which General Hodge flually delivered to Mr. Cockerill was an invitation from Judge Major to Mr, Cockerill to meet him or com- municate with him in Ganada, That letter could have but one meaning. It was achalienge. No gentleman versed in the code and no disinter Man of ordinary intelligence and no court haying any knowledge of the provisions ol our law would construe it otherwise. It was an invitation to go to Canada, outside the territorial limits of the United States, in order to evade the criminal laws of our country, lor the purpose of seitling w aimculty after the manner customary among gentiemen. Judge Major was not, techni- cally, violating the law of Kentucky iu sending a challenge to a citizen of another tate, and he was not subject to the laws of Ohio. There Was no need of going to Canada in order to send a challenge with impunity. General Hodge had re- | served the right, fall his efforts at adjustment | failed, to retire and ‘leave the management of 1ur- ther proceedings to some other iriend of Judge Major;”? but General Hodge committed the error Oi going Oue step beyond the ground of amicable adjustment to which he purposed confining him- self, He presented a letter not BA era to ad. jJustment, but clearly pointing to a hostile meet- ing. General Hodge says that this letter was “not a challenge, but a request to know where a letter could reach him in Canada.” We apprehend, however, that there could be no receding after the delivery of that letter, and that if the parties ‘had gone to Canada they would have gone prepared, not to negotiate, but to meet in mortal combat. Neither General Hodge nor Judge Major is piaced im a position to subject him- self to the penalties of the law; but they have by their course impaired the spirit of the law, and the influence of their present positions makes their violation of the spirit far worse than an- other’s violation of the letter of the law. It is better to have no law on such a subject than to have one that may be violated with impunity. ‘There can be no enforcement of the letter of a law if our judges and other officials violate its spirit, and take care only tokeep themselves within its letter. What we have said here we have intended to say kindly; but the occasion is one, in our opin- ion, demanding such a view 0! the case as we have | given it, NEW YORK CITY.
