Extract of a letter from Dr. T. A. Moans, of Oft ,now in Pari*, to hi* father in August*, Oeorgi;»dated November (>tb, lfeofi :

The high price ofbread,wioea.ftud tobacco.rent*aod tax**, ban induced *om« scoret indiguatiouc.fa popular nature to manifest faelf, by placardsgpread throughcut the city, with simply the motto- I ain ou I lomb, (bread or lead ) These publications have caused gome excitement and manyarrests, but no blood has yet been shed. Somet ran an week the Emperor left for the " boi»,"<1ores!) to engage in ft bunticgexcursion, and somefiendish villains placed an " infernal machine" onthe route along which tbey knew he would pas.1 be n< t inous design, however, was frustrated bvouo concerned inthe plot, who made a full revelaton of then purpose. The prefect of the policeimmediately made search and found the deadlyengine concealed directly np«n the path alonewhich the Emperor would have gone. But thanksto the surviving power of conscience, a timely dis-closure was made?some sixty conspirators werearrested, and mnst meet the awards of law. Idonot, however, anticipate death for the villainousdeed, for the Emperor fully understands his po=itioo; and if these accomplices were executed forattempting to put out of the way the man whomso many thousands seeui tohate, it would be but as'gual tor a popular explosion, with fearful andbloody results.

Hearts Cheat?A breach of promise, casewas tried in New York Friday, in which the ver-dict of the juryshows that th© market price forhearts has experienced a decline,and that the' loveorn creeturs'' may be imposed on to any extent,

at a very reasonable remuneration. The Postgives the history of the case :

On the 18th November. 1855, defendant askedher hand in marriage, and cansed the bans to bedulypublished in the church of St. Charles Boro-meo, on the 25:h of the same month; also in St.James Church, Jay street, on the 2d ofDecember,when the marriagewas to have taken place. Hethen refused to fulfill his contract, thereby causing great disappointment to the plaintiff Theonly defence set up?the coatrantand breach there-of being admitted?was an incapability on his

to pay thesum demanded for damages?§s,oooI he plaintiff had been put to an expense of someSKiOin procuring clothing in anticipation of themarriage; and by the testimony of Dr. McPhallit was shown thatshe had sustained much mentalsuffering?so much as to prevent her from attend-ing to her ordinary duties. The juryafter a shortabsence rendered a verdict of $50 for plaintiff-Common folks some times find it hard to reconcilefacts and verdicts, but good citizenship requiresus to believe juries know best.

East Indian Jugglery.?Madame Pfeiffer, inher "Second Journeyround the World," gives thefollowing description of uncertain unexplainablefeats of jugglerywitnessed byher while eqjouruingthrough the East Indies: " At the close of the entcrtainment the performance of Hercules wasreally curious iu its way. He appeared with nothing onbut a pair of drawers, and a cord was passedaround bis neck, and with this his hands and armswore so firmly tied behind him that he could notmake the smallest movement He came to us tohave the knots examined, and then he crept under a high covered basket; beneath which variousgarments were placed, and after the lapse of afew minutes th*basket was lifted up and the Hercules made bis appearance completely cbthed inthem. Then he crept again under the basket andcame out without them, but holding the cord withail its knots fast in his hands, and so forth. Allthis would, of course, have been nothing in a theatre, where assistance might have been given him,but this was iu a meadow where no assistance waspossible. One of the gentlemen present offeredhim twenty five rupees for his mystery, but he de-clined the offer.'"

Prices of Bread and Meat.?A Society forimproving the condition of the poor is in ex:steDce in New York, and from one of its reportswe extract thefollowing table of prices of breadand meat in thevarious cities, at the latest date,Navember the 15!h.

Irish Funerals ?We published a paragraph aday or two ago, says the New York Journal ofCommerce, about a man who attended his own fu-neral?the wife mistaking the body of anothermanfor that of her husband, and so proceedingwith the ceremonies nnti! the actual husband suddeuly appeared, alive and well This is only sur-passed by an instance which occurred a f<-vv-months ago at the Calvary Cemetery, (related bythe gate keeper of tbe ferry,; when the discovervwab made that the coftin was empty! Throughsome inadvertanee, or oversight, or forgetfulness,or something of the kind, the indispensible partof the funeral had been left behind!

Scene in thk Presentation of the Cincin-nati 1!anNEK ?Iu Baltimore, Friday, the presen-tation of the Cincinnati Banner camo otf agretably to programme Just after J. Scott Harrisonwas introduced to the audience, says the Sun."the Plug Ugly Club marched into the hail withtings and various transparence*. They were re-ceived with bhout upon shout?the ladies in thegalleries interspersing the shouting with the wavnig of their handkerchiefs. As they advanced tothefront of the stand nice hearty cheers were gi-ven."

Just as Mr. Harrison was winding up a handsome apostrophe to the American fl.-.g "the FourthWard Babes and the Rip Raps entered the hall,bearing traucparences,&c., and accompanied withmusic. As each club advanced toward the stand,the building resounded with the shouts of thosealready in the room."

Singular Death ok a Sptrituaust?We?

" t0 record the death of * young Udy, Mis*uarriet Eager, well knowr among spiritualist circles, on Tuesday morning, at one o'clock. Thecircumstances are of a singnlar nature Fourteen dl>sprior to the date ef herdeath she wag thrown into the trance state, andbeing controlled by an influence she could not resist. predicted that her death would occur in twoweeks. This prediction she was not informed of.J, ,

two weeks expired on Tuesday last. OnMonday she appeared in her useful cheerfulness,and st ti o'clock, while sitting at the tea table, wasentranced and influenced to draw a casketupon the paper, and also to write immediatelybeneath it,' All will be revealed in a fewr-jiours "

?

Then doubling the paper, she gave it to anotherlady, who carefully kept it from her, as she hadconcealed the other circumstances, go that she wasas unconscious of the last proceeding as she wasof the prediction made the two weeks before ?

Bhe weut up stairs immediately after coming outot the trance, dKrobed herself and laid down uponthe bed. She was taken with violent vomitingand purging, and died, as above stated, at one'o clock. She was an estimable lady, much be-iovedand respected among the friends with whomshe was intimate ?Botton Herald, Nov 'Si.

Canadian Legislative council?The Legis-lative Coitncil of Canada consists of six membersfrom each province, and for the first time they havebeen elected by the people. The Upper Canadamembers are Dr H. Smith, Col.Prince, Mr Patton,E Murney, J. Simpson, P. M Vaokougnet LowerProvince?Mr. Duchesnay, Holiis Smith, Mr. Re-naud, Mr Dessaulles, E. Masson, Mr Laterriere ?

An exchangestates that one of the Upper Canadamembers has declared bis confidence in the gov-ernment; two are liberal and three are opposed tothe policy of the government Three of the LowerCanada members give a i/uati support to the gov-ernment, and tiiree belong to the annexation partyThe elections were conducted with much spirit,and with considerable bitterness in some of thedistricts.*

Indian Depredations in Texas.?The SanAntonio Ledger, of the 15th inst., furnishes thefollowing intelligence:

W® regret to say that parties of Indians areagain about. On the first instant they were seennear the Gaudalupe, and intelligence of the facthavingreached Camp Verde, a party often menwith a guide were sent out,, and afterwards onthe receipt of farther tiding, another party wasdispatched with the view of overhauling the In-dians. At Keersville the soldiers were joined byseven citizens, and proceeding on the search,tbev fuund thecamp of the Indians, but, notwithstanding every exertion was made tbey failed todiscover the owners. They persevered in theirendeavors until the guide informed them that itwas uselers to do so any longer, when they returned The citizens remained behind and atdaybreak on the secend morning afterwards, theywere attacked by the IndiansHaving unfortunately omitted to keep guard, theywere completely taken by surprise, and the melan-choly result was thattwo of the party were killed,three wounded, and two are missing. The woundedmen got hack to the settlements, but up to the 12thinst. the missing men had not been heard from, andit is feared, therefore, that they also have beenkilled.

On Saturday Herman Range, of Sisterdale, Comalcounty was killed by Indians He left his house tosearch for some hoists, and had notgone far from hisresidence when he was attacked. Mr. Ruoge wasarmed with gun snd revolver, and was in ali likeli-hood taken unawares. There were four arrows stick-ing in the body, three in the brent, and one underthe ar:n. so that he was probably about to fire wheahe was shot. Mr Runge was a most promisingyoungman, and his death is the cause of much regret.?What makes the 'natter more melancholy is the factthat ho was the sole support of his father, (who is in-sane,) and a la-g« family.

Grain Crop is Tennessee.?A letter in theCharleston Courier, from Athens, Tenr., datedNov. 2:il. says:

Our crops in this section are very short?notmore than one third of a crop of wheat, and aboutone half of a corn crop There being a largequantity of old corn in the country, there is nodanger of scarcity. Our hog crop is also veryshort?not more than one-fourth.of tbe usual num-ber fattened, and is selling at from $5 <£$3.50gross.

The above will apply to all Lower East Tennespee.

Preparing for Christmas ?la a proclama-tioii. MayorWise of Alexandria, Va , declares waron those juvenilefilibusters that make our townecho duringChristmas times, with report of gun,pistol, aad cracker.

Great Yield.?Mr. Williamson Page, livingnear Italeigb, N C., raised the following crops onone acre of land, viz: Ia September, 1835, hesowed one bushel of wheat mixed with turnipseed, from which he raised forty five bushels ofwheat and about 800bushels of turnipj. In June.1856, he planted the same ground in corn andpeas, and has harvested fifty one bushels of corn,and sixty four bushels of peas. The only fertili-zer used was stable manure.

Del*van, of AlbanyCharles Butler, of New York; Gerrit Smith, ofMadison county, and Dr. Nitt, of Shecectady,give$1,000 each. The whole amount was expendedin the publicationof Temperance papers and otherdocuments.

The Mafket for Bkandv.?A letter fromCognac, France, by the Persia, says:

"The quantity of Brandy made will prove lessthan we anticipated. There is no price fixed forthat quality yet, but by the offers which have beenalready made, we see that it cannot command un-der Si 1 and S2l 50 for best on board. As for theold qualities, we cannotname a price for tleru, forthey were so scarce that we considered it uselessto attempt bnyiug any, and are literally compelledto decline all orders for those qualities. Goodmany, it is true, are offered daily, but not one sin-gle one of them deserves the name of CognacBrandy, and what is themost remarkable is. thatall that touch finds buyers. Shipments from thisside ought to be received for thefuture with a verygreat caution by the importers."

Immigration to northern Missouri ?A letter in the St Louis Republican says :?The LandOffice at Plattsburg is still open and doing an im-mense business. From present indications, weshall have an accession to our population in upperMissouri], cf one huudred thousand peoole, withinthe next twelve mon'hs. A party of Virginians,from Warren couuty, composed of five families,withforty five slaves, says a St Louis paper, pass-ed through our city yesterday, for the northernpart of Missouri, to make a settlement. Theyeaiue all the way by land, and had five coveredteams, a large tent, and all the appliances to makethemselves comfortable on their long journey.

ANOTHER VESSEL C'HAKTKKtU TO GO TO EU-EOPK from Chicago ?The British Canadian barkChieftain has been chartered by parties in Chicagoto go to Europeand back from thatport early nextaeaxon. Sue will take out wheat and bring backsalt or pig iron. The price agreed upon for thevoyage is Sl,ooo?a penalty ot £2 000 to be incur-red iu case of failure to carry out the contract.This is nodcubt but one of the many vessels thatwill leave that port for Liverpool next season.

cal ;u!es?Mt. Never contradict a woman; 2d. Neverchallenge the bill of a hotel keeper; 3d. Never quar-rel wi han editor. Then again it was often annoying

to see one's name posted on placards in ludicrousproximity with tbo«e of negroujimtreU, and all ®ort«
