IIH (iuriceouH Rooms Killed with Maicuiliceiit RelicH and I.lvintc Memories! or l.e Petit Corporal Royalty' RulnH. lite. Paris, August ,'U, 1SSI). Ivditor Citizen: To-day we will long rcnicmlicr ns having leen most delight fully passed at the palace of Fontain blcau, to reach which a ride of nearly fifty mili s by railway was required. Arriving tlierc (it 11 o'clock we were obliged, thanks to the abominable fashion of France, to sacrifice an hour to scenic a much needed breakfast. Hut fortunately this was done in a nice hotel, facing,' tin amphitheatre, witli its famous old horse shoe stairs, so that time was not entirely wasted. Itreakfast being dispatched as quickly as possible, we hastened to this beautiful palace, a palace indeed, so rich in history from the time ol Louis VII to that of the last unfortunate emperor, Louis Napo leon III. It may seem a trespass iiponyourspacc and the patience of your readers to give even the slight description, which weenn nnl refrain from allunpting, of sonic of the principal apartmeuis. II yon so consider it you need not publish it. We will have the pleasure of writing it, all the same. We were lost conducted by the guide into the eliupelof the Holy Trinity, rather small in size, anil eliielly worthy of note for its beautifully frescoed ceiling, and tcsselated marble lloor, and as the place in which the inlant Napoleon 111 was baptized. We next ascended a St. lir to enter the apartmeuis of the nrc.it Napoleon, ami passing through three of moderate size one, lire Salle dc Bains, now ornamented with glass painted most curiously by some unknown artist, which used to be in the bath ro..iu of Marie Antoinette, and had been lor sonic strange reason re moved hither we enter the most deeply interesting of these, lo-wit, " La Salle d' Abdication," in which Bonaparte sal. and the table which siipporied the docu incut that must have cost him so much pain to sign. Adjoining this room is the "cabinet ch travciller," where the laborious man per formed such marvels ol labor, and still containing his desk, secretary, etc., anil from it we enter his bedchamber, in which his bed stands, ami near it the crib of his onlv son, the King ..I Kome. Here also are" the jewel box ol Maria Therese ami n strange clock given her by Pope Pius VII. We next enter the Salle dc Council, a magnificent room containing a circular table nine feet in diameter, of wood in color resembling mahogany, the wholi top being of one solid piece. No doubt sonic of the big trees of California may scorn this, hut we do not remember to have seen so large and so perfect a speci men. Next is the Salle dc Troiie.contnin itifi the throne of Napoleon, and with ceiling inlaid with monograms of Louis XIV, but attracting our attention to its elegant chandelier which, we are told, cost oil, OOP francs. We now reach the suite of rooms espe cially belonging to Marie Antoinette. First, her boudoir, witli her chairs and sofas in old gold upholstering, and its lloor laid in the form of a star with the (luecu's monogram in the center; second, her bcdchainlier, containing her bed, o! which the hangings surpass in riclmcsi anything wc have yet seen. These, wc arc told, were made in Lyons especially f ir her, but her downfall occurred hclorc thev were finished, so they remained in the factory until the time of Napoleon 1. who had them placed where they now are; third, the salon of tiie uuloi tunate Ouccii, in the center of which is her loveiv inlaid table, of which the mosaics illustrate the four seasons, while on the mantel are two vases madefor her by the Sevres factory, and the most perleetly exipiisite shade of blue wc ever imagined, much less beheld. Among the most interesting rooms is the library, tilled with books anil docu ments of French history, ornamented with paintings, but its chief interest to us is the original draft, in his own hand writing of the Article of Ahdicnlioiiof Li Petit Corporal. Its blurred ami scratched condition and many interlineations seemed to indicate the terrible meiitai struggle it cost the writer. Wccoulduol resist the temptation to copy it. 1 lere it is verbatim: " Lcs puissances allies nynm proelaime (pie I'lvnipercur Napoleon emit Ic scul ob stacle an rctnblisscmcnt de l.i Paix en Furope, I'F.mpcreur lidcic at son sermons, declare (U il reiionee pour ltd, el ses sue eessetirs all Trone de France el d Italic, et ipi il tidele a son sermons 11' est aneiiu sacrifice personnel ineine eelui de la vie, ipi il ne soil prcs n faire an la bieu inter ests de la Nation France. Avril, IS1-L" To this is no signature and it diners in some respects from that which he signed next day, and wc think ilsrcielition and inaccuracies indicate the depth of the mental struggle. Not to lie too lengthy, the other most remarkable rooms arc the salon 01 frau ds I. ; the salon of Louis XII 1 in which that monarch was born; the salon ol Louis IX; "the saint," with an eques trian statue of Henry IV over the man tle; life size both man ami horse which will give an idea of the room's dimen sions; boudoir and bed-room of Mine. M.iintenoii, in which are chairs curiously imholstercd with tniiestried landscapes. It was in these rooms that this remark able woman ruled France through the w.-nk Kiiicr Louis XIV. And yctwetnust note the magnificent gallery of Henry II. This apartment is 100 bv H feet, the ceiling 30 feet high, wonderfully formed in carved walnut nnaid in gold, and each ol its ornamentations are reproduced in the oaken lloor, so faithfully as to lead one to imagine he sees them in a mirror. Also deeply interesting are the apart ments of Pope Pius VII, which were oc cupied bv that uuntifl' first as the guest and then as the prisoner of Napoleon. We will not bore you further with details .. these gorgeous, royal rooms, although iii.iuv others were of deep interest to us. Wc hastened to sec and enjoy the gul dens surromulnm on three sides, the pal ace, and the inngnifieent avenue which used to lie its approach, ami thence to the court with which we will close this letter, ns here occured the touching scene on which we like to ponder, sad though it be, yet showing the wonderful love, which can exist between true men. Here it was that the greatest of all chieftains took leave of his faithful soldiers. Our little French guide book gives a descrip tion of this scene more pathetic than we have seen el ewhere, ana wc mnsi attempt to give you even our poor trans lation ol it: "On the morning of April 20, Napoleon left Fontaineblcau. He wished to bid adieu to his guard, and it had assembled in tbeciMirtol the White Horse, which bus since been called also "The Court of the Adieus." "Soldiers," said Ifc, "my companions in arms, I havcalways found you on the road to honor; it is necessary now that wc part. I might have re mained longer with you, but it would have lieen wicked to prolong a bitter contention, attended crlinps by war both civil and foreign, and I have re solved to remain no longer within the borders of France. May you enjoy Un rest you have so faithfully earned and lie happy. For myself, 1 niai.e nocotnplaint. I have one mission left, and it is for t hat I consent to live. That mission is to tell posterity l the great things you and I have together accomplished. Would that I could take you each in my arms, but let me embrace this Hag which repre sents you.' Can wc wonder that there were few eves drv, when the general In ew himself into his carriage and was driven away from his faithful guard? 1. w. 1'.

The Mark I.ane lixpress' Review of CropH and Price. I.oMioN, September 1(. The Mark Lane Ivxpress, is its weekly review of the ilritish grain trade says: Ilcliverics of new crop wheat are largely increasing. Some sales were as low as litis, per S0 pounds.

Itwns due lo these qualities that the Imperial house iiad been able lo lierform an extremely difficult task, namely, to have to let go auyllung that had once been grasped. At the conclusion of his speech which was loudly received, the Kmieror proposed a treat to Hanover, and drank it from the same glass from which his grandfather drank a similar toast in 187 1.

"We arc entitled to have a reg ular panel every two weeks," said For it'st, "and I demand it."

Captain Atkinson has just returned from a visit lo New Y'ork, to which cily he was drawn by very important mat ters connected with the present and fu ture interests ol Ashcvillc, chief of which is the railroad project named above ti project so vast as to lie dismissed by many us chimei ical ; and yet to the eye of those aecuslomcd to deal with large matters, and lo look sagaciously into the hearings of great enterprises, do not appear cither impracticable, vain urprol itlcss. So that the scheme need not be dis missed neither in contempt, incredulity or despair. Things much more unlikely, and much less hoielul than this are now aclivc realities. Asking Captain Atkinson w hat were the results of his visit, we obtained answers which wc give nearly in his own language. He says, he went to New York to meet t lie representatives of a construction company from Boston and to confer with them and ai range the contract for building the Atlanta, Ashcvillc N: Haiti more railroad. Alter a week's talk over the matter, conclusions were reached which will doubtless be acceptable to the A., A. and B. R. R. Co., and the con struction company. No papers wen passed, bill certain leading points were .agreed upon by Captain Alkinson and those with whom Ik was in conlercnce, w hich will be submit ted to each of the companies. It is thought no dilliculty will be experienced 111 adjusting the matter. A meeting ol the A., A. and B. company will be held in this city in a lew days to put lliceonlract in due form for ihe signatures of the iwo companies. If all things go well, the survey will oininence within the ncxi two weeks. when the question of the counties' sub scription w ill be submitted to the people. No grading is to be done until the people lecide the matter of the counties' sub scription. 1 here is to be no slock taken by the coiiuticsimlilthcroad iscoiuplelcd through the counly and the trains lim ning 011 regular schedule. At the same time the comities arc to obligate them selves to take a certain amount of stock when Ihe road is thus complete.

Three shots were fired at Bell by his assailant, the second only taking effect. The weapon used was a 3S-ealibre Smith it Wesson revolver belonging to Mr. P. C. Mcliitirc who lives on College street, and from whose house Berry took the weapon yesterday morning withouL Me 1 11 1 i re 's k 110 w lei Ige, The shot that struck Bell was fired from the outside of the shop and from the pavement. It passed through aglass window and entered his left side lietweeu the sixth and seventh ribs. It also pene trated the lower portion of the left lung, and is supposed to have ranged down ward ; finally lodging in the bowels. A large crowd of people were attracted to the place by the reports of the pislol, and a policeman had to clear the pave ment several times while Bell was licing removed lo Hill's grocery store, which adjoins the butcher shop, for treatment. A col was rigged up in Ihe store. 11 j ion which he w ns placed, and medical assis tance was at once summoned. A violent hemorrhage followed his removal lo the cot, and as soon as this was over Bell's ante-mortem stalctneut was taken before Justice Siunincy, who had been sent for to take dow n the lasl declaration of the fatally wounded man. This statement, in brief, relates that Berry asked Bell at the Farmers' ware house if he I Belli had said that he I Berry I "did not have lo gel too drunk tostcal?" Bell replied he did not remember what he I Hell I had said in the conversation re lerrcd to. He ami Berry then came up the street to the market house, which both entered, and where the quarrel finally resulted in Bell's ordering Berry out ol the house. Hell picked ui a two pound iron scale weight al this time, but put it back when he saw Berry leave the shop. Berry had his hand on his right breeches pocket all the while during the quarrel, and Bell was sure that he had a pistol although he did not see it. He told Berry he was a thief and a rogue while in the shop. Alter Berry left the shop Bell went to the door and ordered him off the premises, and as he turned his body about half around in going towards the counter in the shop Perry's second bullet struck him. Bell also said that he had detected Berry stealing money from the till several times ; and thill he had set down the amount of the larceny each time on a sheet of brown paper. Bell said his 1 Bell's) sou, had also detected Berry pilfering small amounts at various times. Immediately after thcshooling, Mayor Blanlou, who had just come up, arrested Berry, look the smoking revolver from his hand, and asked him what he meant by shooting l.iil. Berry's reply was that "he called me a and tried to strike me with a weight." Berry was as cool as a cucumber and as white us a sheet. Mayor Bl.inton turned him over to sheriff Reynolds, who, by Justice Sumincy's order, locked him up in a cell tit the jail, where he now is. Hell died from the effects of his wound at seven minutes to nine o'clock last evening, and an inquest over his remains will lie held by the coroner this morning.

While still the morn ing shadows stretched out then lengths, he lay struck down by deadly shot. All day long w ithin a lew yards of where he fell, within the shelter kindly tendered him, within u lew feel of all the life and noises of the street, he lay while lite slowly cblicd away, while round the door Jirongcd an eager, silent, sympa thetic crowd, with kindly question ask ing the decision all knew could not, yet all luqKil would be, averted. Never have wc seen such touching tenderness from the usually thoughtless public, and the sadness dcccncd into sorrow, when early in the night the lamp of lile went out, and all was dark in this world to him 011 whom the morning sun arose so brightly.
