VI:ituit.i.ss.—'l‘hc sudden determination expressed by the Emperor to remain absent from Paris until the first week in December

has given rise to tiiuch gossiping rumour, “

“'h[¢h. n0l_having been contradicted, is taking root in the public mind. The reason for the measure, accredited by the sensible portion ofthe couiinunity, is that, in conse- quence of the still delicate health of the E"'_l"'¢‘5_3. it would be wise to avoid the T|_lIlleI'Ies until after the vapours which arise from the Seine in the month of No- vetnber shall have been dispelled by the frosts. It is certain, that Versailles liiis struck the fancy of the Empress, who from the _\'ery first has expressed a repugnunce to inhabiting the Tuilleries, and whose aversion to the place has inci-eased to a greater degree than ever, since the birth 0 the prince imperial. The publicity of the g_iii-dens of the piilace, the impossibility ¢_ifciiyoyi_tig private exercise ivith the nurse, is said, in it great measure, to catise this fancy for a winter establishiiient at Ver- sailles. Should the prospect be realized, the whole ofthe buildings round the palace would be restored to their foriucr uses. The foreign ambassadors would have their allotted hotels, and the different ministers their bureaux—iu short, the dead cit

would be restored to life again. The plan forms part of the system which has long occupied the iiiiud of the Emperor, and is connected with his scheme of the future decentralisation of France. Ever since his iVIiijesty’s accession to the throne, he has eni0_l‘ttIlned the idea of witlidrawiug froin Parts .~'oiiie portion of the exclusive power and iiillnence that city has always enjoyed, Will! the intention of reducing it to the part Of}! lU=HleI'. of the line arts, literature nu

science, and depriving it of the political pt').~‘l'lHll it has held so long, and which it is llloilght to have abused so often. The son- sation caused by such a brusque and sud den cliaogc as the transfer of the ttu:liori- lies to Versailles, would mark an epoch in the l-istory ofthe country.—Coitrl Journal.

SUHHABY OF NEWS- EXECUTION or LIEUTENANT JENNINGS as- ’I‘ELI.E, N. A.-HIS DYING DE.Cl.ARA‘I‘ION. (From El Nicarnguense, Sept. 20.)

At 5 o'clock p. in. on the evening of Fri- day, the l9th inst., Second Lieut. Jennings Estelle suffered the extreme penalty of the law by being shot on the Plaza, for the murder of Second Lieutenant Charles Gor- don, in the Guard-House, in the City of ranada, while acting as officer of the

guard.

Estelle had been previously arrested for shooting Thus. Edwards, and was, when he committed the nnI'oi'tunate act for which he suffered death, a prisoiier confined to his quarters. He had it fair and iiiipiirtiiil triiil, and the [_'0lIIlcllI€n who sat in judg- tnetit upon him gave him every opportiiiiity to establish a defence, but in this he utterly failed. The dccd was committed without any provocation, ()l' without any nggra\at- ing circiiiiistiiiice. He was sentenced to be hung, but the Commander-in-Chicfcaus- ed it to be so far mitigated, as to allow him to be shot.

There was a large concoiii-se gathered to witiiess the execution. Estelle walked with a tirin step by the side of a reverend latlicr olitno church, who prayed with him and for him froin the Giiard-llousc to the place ofexrciitioii.

\\'licn he arrived at the spot where III.‘ was to breatlic his last, he requested that his hands ioi,-_vlit he untied, as he wished to ::il«li~ess the crowd. This request being _»;aiited, lie spoke in ii firm, uiifalteriug voice. In his speech he asked forgiveness of the oliicei-s and soldiers ofthe Nicaragu- an army. Voices rcspoiiiled from the crowd, “ God forgive you."

\\"hilc in prison he wrote the following address, which he requested to have pub- lished:

GRANADA, Sept. 15, I856.

These are the dying declarations ofJen- nings Estelle : I was born in Mai-sliall, Tennessee, in the year I833, and was rais- ed from my infancy in Hinds County, Mis- sissippi. I started to California in I852. On the road, I had a dilliculty with a man of the name of Howard, and shot him. I afterward shot a man ofthe name of Hays, but the wound did not happen to prove fatal. In the same year I had a diliiculty with Charles Robinson, and stabbed him in three places My last two difficulties, while in California. occurred at the State Prison, where I had been employed for the last two years. Aller getting into the last scrape I came to Nicaragua, and shot Tho- mas Edwards. I afterward shot Charles Gordon. I must say that in all my diIIicul- ties, I was not once in my right mind. Twice I had been forgiven, and hope to be forgiven for them all. Ithink there is a

ad in Heaven that will and can forgive. and he knows, and I know, that it was not I that killed Charles Gordon. It was whis- ky and my crazy mind that did it. I say that I was not in my right mind, when I did the deed, and God knows it. Forgive me, cﬂicer: and soldiers, and I can die a happy man. I don't write this because I think I ought not to die, for I think that my time has come, and that justice ha: been done me. Fellow-soldiers, remember what has brought me to this dcath—you all know it as well as I do. My humble prayer is, that I may be forgiven. JINNINOI E:rnt.i.i:.

On \Vednesday evening, lst inst., a large ship belonging to l)iiblin, called the York, laden with tiitiber, from Quebec, arrived in the Liffey, bringing intelligence of a fatal collision which took place early on last Tliiirsduy morning between the ships Yeo- man, ofLivcrpool, and the Helen Heilgers, of the same port, ata point between the Kusknr Rock and Ballycotton, and liaving on board thirty-two persons, who were the survivors of the crews of those vessels. The Yeoman H00 tans, commanded by Capt. Colqtihoun, wits on her passage from l.iverpool to Castino, British America, with with a cargo ofsalt. The Helen lleilgers, of about the same size, commanded by

Captain Harris, with u miscellaneous car-_

go, worth upwards of £20,000, was home- ward bound from Calciitta.---Aboiit three on the morning above mentioned, a strong breeze blowing, atid the weather being very thick, the vessels came into collision with each other. The Yeoman had her star- board tacks on board, iind the Helen Ileil- gers was sailing very last before the wind, atid the latter vessel struck the former vio- lently at her fore-rigging, knocking in her side. \Vithin eight minutes afterward the Yeoman went down. Four of her Cl‘t!\\' succeeded in clinging to thc bowsprit rig- ging of the Helen Heilgcrs, but otic of them is missing, and only three have es- caped, the names of whom are John King, 'l‘lioni.'is Jason and Alfred Creighton. All the rest of the ship‘s company, including the captain and otlirt-rs, and numbering I9 souls, perish:-d. The Ili-len Ileilgers was greatly injured by the shock, and the ut- most elforts were made with the pumps to keep her aﬂoat. At eight o’clock the same morning the York came to her assistance, and took off her captain iind crew of‘29 men together with the three sailors belonging to the Yeoman.

After remaining for upwards oftwo hours along-side the Helen Heilgers, the York left her in a sinking state with IS feet of water in the hold, and the sea washing her gunwales. The surviving sailors of the two unfortunate vessels were received into the Sailor’: Home. They spoke in terms of praise of the manner in which they had been treated on board the York by Captain Farlane and his ship’: company.
