Her father. was the most fortunate prince of the age. All that was to be denied by destiny to his daughter was lavished upon him. | Her mother, a fprinc«aw of the House of Orleans, never found in her father‘s heart the t;.h“ which had been filled there by ‘bis first wife, the long lamented Charlotte of hg:‘nd The impeérious will of Leoâ€" pold indeed exacted of her what must have been the disagreeable concession of bestowing upon her eldest daughter the name of her predecessor. ‘The childhood of the young Princess was passed in an atmosphere of coldness and restraint. 1Uer marriage with the Archduke Maxiâ€" milian introduced her into a new circle of family jealousies and dislikes. She found her busband, whom she passionately loved, distrusted by his brother, the Emperor of Austria, and detested by his mother, the Archduchess Sophia. The project of E"f' pire in Mexico came to her unquestionably as a welcome emancipation from the vexations and annoyances of her position in Austria, _ and there can be little doubt. that she had a great part in . determining her husbard to undertake it The consciousness of this must have bitterly wrought with her in the dark days when the splendid dream began to disappear and the hard reality of disaster to make itself felt. She. was a young woman of but twentyâ€"seven years when sho set sail from Vera Cruz in 1867 upon that deiperate voyage to Paris and Rome: which was to end in madness. When she landed at Brest, to find there . not so much as an officer of her brother‘s court sent from Brussels to receive her,. anxiety and anguish had already added | half a score of . years to her apparent aze. Her desperate interview with Nu&:oleon at the Tuileries, her interview more desperate still with the Pope at the Vaticin, comâ€" pleted the work _ She reached the lovely home of the Adr'u%rom which she had set out, four years before, brilliant, aspirâ€" ing rejoicing in her beauty, her youth, her husband «nd ber Imperial hopes. a wreck ia body, in heart and in mind â€" From that diy till this the pity of the civilized world alone has kept alive any thought beyond the narrow limits of her pa‘aceâ€" hospital at L:¢ker. â€" And to day it will dismiss her to the ten :er care of romance and poetry, Kome] whi When she not so muc court sent in days that are to come, with the berison of Kent upon King Lear: l Vex not her ghost. (0, let ber pass ! He lhates ber Thit would upon ! er world Stretch her out longer The Hon: Archibald McKellar is out in a new character. He is now 1wccused of coming ®"Wragge" over a Mr. William Millar, of 49 ‘Fenchurch street, London, England. it appears that twelve years ago McKellar went to England, and while there became acquainted with this Mr. Millar. _ Mac. represented himself as being an agent or something of the Elgin Association, aud succeeded in borrowing £2,137 108. sterling from that gentleman, on the credit of the corporation. The money was to be repaid in four years, with interest at six per cent,. Mr. Millar re« ceivedl interest for three, years, when it unaccountably ceased. . He immediâ€" diately communicated{with the aesociation, but they knew nothing whatever of the trangaction. .Mr. Millar has made sever attempts io recover his money, whi h, with the accumulited interest, /now amounts to $17,000, but without ayail. : It appears that he has no remedy in/ our civil courts, and McKellar knows it. c This is the charge, and a very )serious one it :e. .It has now been made some monthbs, and Mr. McKellar has not made the least attempt to deny it. . We did not allude to it when it was first made, as we were not in possession of the full Cirounastancas. W%u"ould not have re~ ferred to it yet, Tor Nir.

The amount, after all, is but a mere bagatelle, and it would be much better for Ontâ€"rio to pay it than have one of her ministers arrested and:~ convicted as a common swindler. She can then equare accounts with Mr Mcoâ€" Kellar at her leisure. OUf course, this is assuming that Mr. McKellar is guilty. Now, we may be wronging the honourable gentleman. He may never have put the money to his own use. It is only a few days ago that a South Carolina defaulterâ€"we beg pardon, collectorâ€"put $47,000 of the people‘s money into his satchel at night, and the rats carried every cent of it off before morning. Another one received a cheque for $12,000, and neglecting to enter it at the time, the circumstances entirely slipâ€" ped from his momog He shortly afterâ€" wards came to C a for the good 0. his health, and the climate agrees so well with hitm that he has decided never to return to the States. We mention these facts to show that after all Mr. McKellar my be more sinned against than sinning. What does the gentlomim himselft say about the occarrence ? A very impressive ceremony (the Jewish Chronicle says) took fl::o at the ancient synagogue of the Sep im congregation in Bevis Marks on Sabbath morning last (Aug. 18) when Sir Moses Montefiore attended to offer up his thanksgivings to his Heavenly Master for his prosperous journey and safe return. It was a touching spectacle to see the venerable baronet standing before the Holy Ark and devoutly reciting the formula prescribed by our rabbis to be said by travellers on their returning from & voyage. The present occasion was invested with special interest from the circumstance that Nir Moses had a second time appeared at the Court of Ruseia in behaYt of Jews, for in 1846 he waited on the Emperor Nicholas, the, fither of the present gz\r. The congreâ€" gation testified their grateful lympmthy by makri;f numerous off>rings. Sir Moses offe munificent sums for charitable purposes on being called to the Law. The lollowri:"%il a translation of the beautiful prayerofiered up during the service by the Rev. Dr. Artom :â€" _ I . Omnipotent God!

Oh! lend this day Thine ear to the joyful song and prayer of th inksgiving which we, with one united heart, raise unto Thee; for Thou didst shield the revered Sir Moses Montefiore, and didst bear him on Thy wings and lead him t> the ‘object of his desire, so that the words ‘of his lips have not remained nheeded.

Lover, of course, would not agree to this; and the MS. ol.‘Harry Lorrequer‘ was tossed about from one publisher to another, like ‘Vanity Fair,‘ till it fell into the hands of the editor otf the Dublin University Magaâ€" zine, and turned out almost as brilliant & suocess as ‘Pickwick.‘ ‘‘ p A réturn which has just been issued of the number of English, Scotch, and Irish commissioned officers in each regiment of Foot Guards, Household Cavairy, Royal Engineers, and Artillery, also of the cavairy of the line and of the infantry of the Lne and Rifla Brigade, gives the fol lowing results :â€" â€" Household Cavalry. .
