How mucb do you want—two hun dred—lour hundred!’ | £ ‘Thank you, fifty will be quite sufficient.’ ‘May I hope,’ added the banker, when I I rose to the continuance of your patronage ?’ ‘Certainly,’ I replied. j There are few moments of my life on which I look back v ith more satisfaction than on those occupied in my interview with Mr. Ber* I gerot. I doubt if I should have believed in ! the twenty thousand francs a year, if it had not been for the fifty Napoleons. In the mean lime, my two friends were ! shocked at the sncces of their story, and were not a little alarmed at my sudden journey to Par is, which was attributed by other to legal business. (Jeorge and Albert then began to fear that I r< ally bcieived in the authenticity of the invention they had concocted. Three days after my return, they came to see me \i ith long faces. •My dear Louis,’ said George, ‘you know your cousin is not dead !’ •I cannot be sure of that,’ I replied, for I am by no means convinced of his existence.’ ‘Well; hut you know that this inheritance is only a hoax ? To toll the truth. I think vve arc the only people who,are of (hat opinion.’ ‘Y\e have been very wrong to originate such a foolish invention ; for which wc are vert*’ sofrv.’ ‘Oil the contrary, I am very much obliged to you.’ ‘But it. is our duty to contradict it, and to r confess how foolish we have been.’ Truth cannot, remain long concealed ; peo ple began to wonder that no news qame from Martinique ; the wise and prudent shook their ; heads ominously when my name was men ; tinned. ‘The most ludicrous feature in the ease is,’ j said one, ‘that he has ended by bcleiviug in j the truth of hisowu invention. For my part, 1 must say that I was always rnther sceptical 1 about that inheritance, •l also, Sl id Mr. Felix,‘thought it has cutt lire fifteen thousand francs.’ On seeing a dozen letters on my table one ! morning, 1 gussed that the bubble had burst, i Their contents were much alike; for instance. ‘Mr. Mayer’s respects to Mr. Meran, and j having heavy payments to meet, will feel | obliged by a cheque for the amount of the en j clotcd.’ My replies disarmed all doubts of my per j feet solvency. •Mr. Moran’s banks to Mr. Mayer for hav ing a/ last sent in his account, and encloses a cheque for the amount.’ Mv cool and unconcerned demeanor kept curiosity alive for a few days longer. •What a lucky fellow !’ said one. •Luck has nothing to do with it,’ rejoined another; ‘he has played his cards well, and has won.’ Once or twice, I confess, I felt compunc t ‘.on of conscience ; but a moment’s reflection convinced rue that my own exertions had no | share in my good fortune, and that I owed all to a universal public worship of the Golden Calf, and to the truth of Albert’s axiom, ‘the liqxt best thing to capital is credit.’ Nnval movements. We learn from the New York Evening Post that the steam frigate Powhatan sailed on Saturday from New York for Cuba. Judge Conkiing, our new Minister to Min ister to Mexico, went out in her, and is in. structed to land at Havana, to make inquiry into the recent action of the Spanish authori ties in refusing permission to the C'resent Ci ty, to enter the port, in searching the Corne lia. After closing this investigation in this matter, Judge Cockling will proceed to Mexi co by way of Vera Cruz. The Post further says, that recent des patches from Washington, intimate that the government have received information of the organization of 2,000 in New York fora move mi nt on Cuba, and that the Federal officers in that city have been instructed to observe a i stiict enforcement of the Neutrality law, and an adherence to treaty obligations. It is be lieved that the movements of the United States vessels have reference to the execution of our ow n law, as well as the enforcement of treaties with Cuba. ‘1 he N. Y. Etyress has been informed by its special Washington correspondent that tine is great acivity in the Navy Depart ment, and that about every vesrel capable of being put in commission will, as early as practicable, ho ordered to sea.

Under this title the eloquent Victor Hugo has just published at London by far the most unspaiiqg -criticisms and the bitterest assault made upon the usurperof Trance. It is a volume of4oo pages, divided into nine bool s. ■ From the first of these, entitled the Man, the Courier dcslltats Unis published an extract, of which we here translate a portion. It is at once a most brilliant specimen of invective and a profession of faith in the eternal vitali ty of Liberty: Let us set forth dhis triumph of ordec—let us depict this Government, vigorous, settled, squared off, strong, who have more ambition than pyirs ai and miserable beggars, sustained on the Exchange of Foulil, the Jew, and in the Church by the Catholic; esteemed by wonrajp who wish to be girls, and by men who wish to be per fects; sustained by a coalition of prostitutions, giving fetes, making -Cardinals, wcaiing a white cravat and with aiv opera Yurt underlie arm; with gloves like fresh butter as Moray, new-varnished as Maupas, fresh brushed as Persigny; rich, elegant, clean, gilded, brushed, joyous, born in a sea of blood. Yes, there will be a waking up. Yes, men will come out otthis torpor, which, for such a people, is shame; And when France shall wake up, when it shall get its eyes ope n, when it shall see what it has before it and at its side, it will recoil, this France, with a ter rible shudder, before the monstrous crime which has presumed to espouse her iri the darkness, and whose bed she has shared. Then the lost hour will sound. The skeptics smile and insist on saying, “Hope nothing. This regime, we believe, is the shame of Franee. So be it This shame is quoted on ’Change. Hope nothing. You are poets and dreamers, if you hope. Look around you. The tribune, the press, intelli gence, speech, thought, every thing which was liiierty has disappeared. Yesterday, it mov ed, it enacted, it lived—to-day, it is .petrified. Well, then, the people are content, they adapt themselves to this petrifaction, they turn it to account, they carry on their business, and live in it as usual. Society continues, and multitudes of honest men find things well en ough as they are. Why do you wish for a change! Why do you wish to bring this state of things to an end! Do not deceive yourselves. This is solid, this is substantial, this is the “present and the future.” We are in Russia. The Neva is frozen over. Houses are built upon it. Heavy car riages pass over on its surface. It is no lon ger water, it is rock. Passengers go and come on this marbe which was once a river. A eity is rapidly built—streets are laid out— shops are opened—they buy, they sell, they eat, they drink, they light a tire ou this water. They can indulge in everything. Fear no thing, do what you please, laugh and dance, it is firmer than the solid earth. Hurra for winter! Hurru for ice! It is here for eter nity. Look at the sky. Is it dry! Is it mid night? A dim and pallid ray glimmers on the snow—you would say that the sun was dy ing. No, thou dost not die, O Liberty! One of these days, at a moment when least expected, at the very hour when thou art most complete ly forgotten, thou wilt rise again.! Ah, daz zling spectacle! Thy sun-like face will at once emerge from the horizon and illuminate the sky. Over all this show, overall tills ice, over this white and stiffened plain,’ over this water now a solid block, over this shameful winter, thou wilt launch thy golden beams, thy brilliant and burning rays! Light, heat, life. And then listen! Doyou hear thatdull sound? Do yours hear that deep and frightful cracking ? It is the breaking up of the ice. It is the Neva, which flows again. It is the river, which.resumes its course. It is the living water joyful and terrible, which lifts up the dead and hideous ice and breaks it in pieces. It was granite, do you say? It breaks like a piece of glass. It is the breaking up, I tell you! It is truth which returns, it is progress which re com mences, it is humanity takes up its march, and which floats ofT, diives forward, hurries on, stiikes, dashes, crushes and drowns, like the miserable furnishings of a downfailen hovel, not only the new empire of Louis Bona parte, hut all the structures and all the works of ancient eternal despotism. Look at it as it passes away. It is about to disoppear for ever. You will never see it more. This book half submerged is the old code of iniquity— this stool which is engulfed, is die throne, and this which is swept away is the scaffold. For this stupendous deluge, for this su preme victory of life over death, what is w anting J One of thy beams, O Sun! One of thy rays, O Liberty! Saspeetefi Plsoifig aafi|ParricMe-Ter rible Dbclosaresl Our neighbors of Looking Glass Prairie have been thrown into a most serious alarm and excitement for the last few days, by rea son of recent disclosures, affecting the Aiar acter of two of its citizens. As we are informed the facts nip briefly these; Mr. G. and wife, lately residing about six miles north-east from Lebanon, were sud denly taken ill, just after taking tea, dining the past spring. They were respectuble thr illers having a family consisting of three child ren, the eldest a daughter about 15 years of age. Mrs. G. died within two days after the attack, seemingly laboring uiulei’ uu attack of fatal 4 liolern. Mr. G. recovered; but soon after lieing somewhat indisposed, his eld est child, die daughter, prepared some gruel at Ids request Os this he ate, and inimedi utely was seized widi violent pains ncconi|ia nied by insatiate thirst and vomiting. Mr. G. rapidly grew worse, a physician was call ed in, who prescribed for the cholera. In the course of a few days Mr. G. also died. The orphan children, including the daughter, were then removed t Ohio, from which State the family had originally emigated, about eight years since. At the time of the death of the parents no suspicion of foul play was excited. Since, however, the conduct of the daughter has led to the suspicion that she poisoned both her parents. It seems that she was courted by a young man, to whose attentions the parents object ed. Their opposition to the young man was based upon his bad character, and went so far as to interdict all communication between the lovers. To Remove this obstacle to their wishes, it is suspected that the young girl consented to and* commmitted the horrible crime of parricide. It is now recollected that a parcel of ar senic, kept in the farm house to destroy ver min, suddenly disappeared, and tha f the daughter had inquired for poison at the house of an uncle, about a mile distant; that the physician who attended the dying father, re qifested permission to examine the gruel, but that it had been thrown away by the daugh ter; that* the ensuing day a number of domes tic fowls died around the house. But, above all, the correspondence of the daughter with the suitor, having been accidently read, dis closed to the astonished relatives several cir cumstances proving the suspected crime. We learn that the Coroner of St. Clair will exhume the dead bodies, in order to submit fie contents of their stomachs to chemical tests. A judicial investigation will also be institu ted, the result to whieh we hope will prove the present suspicions to be unfounded, and justly the conclusion of the Romans, that par ricide was an impossibility. —Galena (IU.)

At 10 o’- clock on Tuesday night, the wires were cut beyond l olilmbia, Son tli Carolina, and at 9 o’clock last night, communication was interrupted, for some cause or other, w ith Augusta. This, of bourse, prevented us from getting full intelligence from the north eastern section of our own State. From Alabama and New Orleans we are without advices, as there has been no communication with Columbus, or points beyond, since yesterday morning. Georgia has undoubtedly gone tor Pierce by a large majority. The results in ot her States will be given as soon as received. Macon, Nov. S, 8 P. M.

Fifteen-States heard from, Twelve of which have probably gone for Pierce. Yesterday, Franklin Pierce or Win field Scott was elected President of tho United States. In a few short hours the peo ple liavo effected a change in their rulers, and perhaps a radical change in the policy of their Government, and yet there is no excite ment in the public mind, independent of the interest which partisans feel in the success of Party, and no interruption to the ordinary bu siness of life. The people who have quietly effected these great and momentous changes, quietly pursue their usual avocations, looking, with curiosity and interest, to the general re sult of the elections throughout tho Union; but, with perfect confidence, that whoever may be elected, the Government must pro gress in power and in importance, and its people in wealth, in intelligence and in hap piness. They have peaceably settled the sue. cession of their Government for four years; and to whatever hand the great power anil patronage of this Government has been trans ferred, they must regard the result as their act, and quietly acquiesce iu it, because tlii-ir is no power antaganistic to the people in thi3 Government. In a few days, by the agency of horse-flesh, lighting and steam, the result of the Presiden tial election will be known, and one party | will exult over a great and glorious victory; I whilst the other will be humbled, by a defeat. I The people will neither feel exultation I or depression, whatever the result may I be, for, in the history of the Govern- 1 ment, no election has excited less in- S terest among the masses, than the one which I has just taken place. They have no guaran- I tees for exultation or depression. They do I not know the policy of the incoming Adininis- If tration. Parties are in a transition state, ami E they cannot foresee xvhat section of a Party, I shall survive the advent of anew Administrs-1 tion, and control it. There are now no par-1 ties in the United States, except the ins and I the outs; and there will bo none until the I policy of anew Administration is develop I and parties are arrayed in support of, or in op-1 position to it p The great question connected with thefor B eign and domestic policy of the Government,l which must, at once, engage the attention oil anew Administration, have not been effectdß by the recent Presidential canvass.
