He summoned twelve oCjhe leanrt*. nud lallct! ineu lie could imd iu the borough ami when they took their scats in tho liox, it nji-. peared comparatively empty—there wns indeed ruimi lor twelve more of llie same sui t nud dimen sions.

Tho New York Tribune has arranged a’brief sketch of tho President elect of France, as fid. lows:— A Spetch of Louis Napoleon.—The news of the election of L-uti* Napoleon to the Presidency of I lie French Republic will naturally excite some ciiriusilv.iti regard to his history uud public chunicter- Hitherto lie inis only been known through tbe liHilikli affairs nt Strasbourg and Bou logne, his published works, notwithstanding the merits claimed for them by bis adherent*, having faded to enlarge li.-s reputation. Hit lifehnn. nev- ertheleta, been somewhat, eventful; uud lie does nut lack the iidvimtneu. of varied fortune and se vere experience. Whether be ha*profited by it, remaitis to he seen. From such hasty material* as we could procure, we have nrraiiged for tin- Tribune the following brief notice of bis history: Cli o lea Louis Napoleon, non of Louis, Et-K ng of Holland, was boro m Paris on tlie 20-li of April, 1S03 Hi* god-parents were the Emperor uu Marin Louisa, and during his childhood lie was an especial favorite ol the former. Ou the return of Napoleon from Elliu. he stood hesidu him mi the Champ do Mars, mid when embraced hy him Fir die lust time, the Maliiiaison, tbe young Louis, then n boy of seven years, wished to follow him at all hazards. When the family was banished from Frnuce, his mother removed tq Augsburg, where he received u good German education.— He was nl'terwiirds taken to Switzerland, where he obtained the right offcilizensliip and commen ced n course of military studies After llie July Revolution, hy which he was a second titno pro scribed from France, lie visited Italy in company willi liis brother, nnd in 1831 took part in a popu lar insurrection against the Pope. This move ment lulled, hut lie succeeded iu making his escape, ! nut), his brother dying nt Fnrli the sumo veal',, lie visited England, and afterward returned to Swit zerland, where, for two or three yours, lie content ed himself wiili writing 'political and military works, which do not aiqiear to have been very ex tensively read. The death of tile Duke of Reichs- tnd> in 1832. gave u new impulse to Itis ambitious hopes. Hi* first revolutionary attempt, nt Stras bourg, iu October, ]836. completely failed, butnf- ter a short imprisonment in Peris, bo was seut to this country. The illness ot liis mother occasioned liis retain tho following-year, aud niter n visit ti Switzerland lie took up his residence iu Eogluud until liis second attempt at Boulogne, io 1840. In this affair several of his followers were killed, nnd he was himself taken niul sentenced to im prisonment for life iu the Castle rf Hand Tlie particulars of his escape iu May, 1846, alter no in carceration of eix year*, are well known. From that time until the end of Sl-ptemherlnst. when lie was returned as a Deputy to the National Avciii- hlv from the Department uf the Seine, he Ins re sided ill England. A late London journal, iu de scribing his mode of life, gives the following uot very fluttering account: “He -was unscrupulous in contracting obliga tions which were wholly beyond his menus of re payment; nod his most serious pursuit wu* the study of alchemy, hy which he expected to arrive at the disenverv of the philosopher's stone. So vigorously did he prosecute this exploded science, a in house which he liuil filled up as a laboratory nt Camberwell, nud so firm was bis foiili iu the chariutan empiric whom he employed to aid him in truiismitliug '.he baser metals into gold, ibst be is said to liuve actually appropriated his revenues in anticipation, and to htfve devoted tbe first mil liard of his gains to tho payment of tbo'uatiouul debt nfFrnuce, in order to acquire thus an impe- aiul throne hy purchase!" The large majority by which bo was elected a representative astonishes every oue. a ltd gave his followers liio first encouragement to bring forth bis name ns a candidate for the Presidency. To defeat the acknowledged Republican party, he re ceived also the support of tho' Legitimists ur.d Or- lennists, nud those combined influences have elect ed him by an immense majority. The rest mint be left to time and fate. {6e-*jgJ Ms Broadvrav. for some ice cream. .It .was rather a t iluco.-nfortabM Jin.»y for two young men to manage nnassisled.
