      3000 of liis subjects who possessed the reputation of being the most lettered of all , should on a given day assemble at his palace and be subjected to a literary test . When they were collected , he announced that the test was the writing of the word citron , and that those who made no error in the spelling should be members of the academy . Pens , ink , and paper were brought ; each of the " 3000 people wrote the word , and the judges of the land and the bench of bishops were charged to examine the 3000 papers . They proclaimed that 39 only of the candidates had written the word correctly—that is , with a C , the remaining 2961 having used an S . ** Only thirty-nine , " cried the Emperor , " and we want forty Well , I will be the fortieth member myself . " ** Sire , " cried the judges , " your Majesty will no doubt

      deign to submit to the test ? " " Of course , " exclaimed Faustin ; and in a large bold hand he wrote Xitron with an X . The judges looked puzzled for a moment , and then , after glancing at each other , proclaimed that his Majesty had passed triumphantly through the ordeal . The Emperor was thereupon proclaimed , amidst the enthusiasm of the assemblage , a member of the academy . " ¦ And I will be perpetual secretary too , " added his Imperial Majesty ^ with pardonable vanity . Public Drinking Fountains . —We perceive that the vestry of St . Andrew's , Holborn , have come to a different decision upon an offer of . Mr . Samuel Guruey , M . P ., than the vestry of St . Pancras . Mr . Gurney is willing to erect a drinking fountain , at his own cost , on Holborn-hill , and the Holborn vestrymen have unanimously and thankfully consented .

      FRANCE . The trial of Comte de Montalembert stands fixed for Wednesday next , Nov . 17 . The Procureur Imperial will conduct the prosecution in person . Pursuant to the regulations invented by Napoleon III . with regard to cases of this kind , the public will not be admitted , and no report of the trial will be allowed to be published . The judgment alone will appear in the French newspapers . M . Dufaure will defend M , de Montalembert , and M . Berryer the Correspondant . It is , however , possible that 3 UC . de Montalembert may make a speech on his own belialf . According to the practice of French courts , a prisoner is allowed to speak for himself , although he may employ counsel .

      A Paris letter saj'S : — Galway is about to be adopted by France as the outlet of her postal communication ¦ with North America , and a large imperial subsidy will supply sinews of war to the Lever line , the future predominance of which is now placed beyond doubt . As all the correspondence of the Spanish and Italian peninsulas , and the whole of the Levant passes through France , the various ramifications or reticulations of this immense network will be gathered into one cable , and will cross the Atlantic through Galway . The details of this financial measure are not yet all arranged , but the principle is established . Mr . Lever ' s activity has carried the point ; he is promised a personal interview ¦ with Napoleon IIL on his return from Compiegne . Meantime he has gone to Brussels to involve Belgium in the scheme , leaving Mr . Barry to carry out his objects here .

      The Moniteur de VArmee informs us that the Emperor has sent a 12-pounder howitzer , constructed upon a model of his own invention , to Queen Victoria , in return for tho field-piece with which her Majesty presented him , some time since . The howitzer and the carriages are accompanied by a complete set of harness , such as is in use in France . Tho piece bears the name of L'Alliance . " On it are engraved the words , " A la Keino Victoria , l'Empereur NapoUJon , 1858 , " The gun was embarked at Calais on the 7 th , in charge of Major Melchior , of the Artillery of tho Guard , and is to be presented to the Queen by the Dulcc de Mnlakoff .

      A Paris letter , in the Indcpendmice of Brussels , asserts that the question of reducing the effective of the army by one hundred thousand men is under consideration in the Ministry of War ; also that M . Fould , Minister of State , has presented toM . Magne , Minister of Finance , for his consideration , a plan for tho conversion of the 4 £ into the 8 per coat , stock , even before tho ten years fixed , when tho 5 per Cents , were converted into 4 J stock , as a minimum for tho commencement of that operation .

      Persons Sent To Constantinople For Trial...

      persons sent to Constantinople for trial are described as mere subaltern agents , acting under the orders of chiefs who have fled .

      EGYPT . We learn by telegram from Marseilles that the railway from Cairo to Suez will be open to the public in the course of December . A letter from Alexandria of the 2 nd says the Pasha of Egypt had bought up all the shares in the company formed for towing boats on the Nile , and had left the trade completely free . The loan proposed to be raised by Said Pasha had not been concluded . The Nile having risen to a great height this vear , it is expected that the crops will be most abundant . The price of grain had fallen considerably . Said wheat was offered at 55 piastres . Business is said to be dull in Alexandria , and little credit given . The precious metals were rising in value every day . The sanitary condition of the country was excellent . No news had been received at Alexandria from Jeddah . It was not expected that M . Sabatier , the French Consul-General , who was s « nt to Jeddah with a special commission , will accomplish much , as the assassins of the British and French Consuls . had escaped . The

      The Trial fob Murder at Edinburgh ;—After several witnesses had been examined yesterday for the defendant , William Reid , the Lord Advocate addressed the jury for the prosecution , and the Dean of Faculty for the prisoner . The Lord Justice Clerk summed up strongly against the prisoner . The jury retired at ¦ t hirty-five-minutes past five , and were absent about one hourj when they returned a verdict of , " Not guilty on the first charge , of murder ; and guilty on the second and third , amounting to culpable homicide . '—The prisoner was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude .

      Case of the Rjiv . Alfrep Poole . ^—1 he Union of this day ( Friday ) states that the application to the Court of Queen's Bench on behalf of Mr . Poole will be made , on Monday or Tuesday next . It will be in the form of a motion for a mandamus to the Archbishop of Canterbury , to compel him to hear and inquire into the truth of the allegation upon which the Bishop of London revoked the license , which it Will be recollected was this : — . " That he ( Mr . Poole ) in admitting females to confession , had put questions to them respecting the Seventh Commandment calculated to bring scandal upon the Church . "

      The Poisonings at Bradford . —In tho case of William Hardncre , who sold the poisoned lozenges , and ate only a portion of one lozenge himself , paralysis , it was yesterday reported at the police station has supervened , and , if he survive tho shock , he will remain a , helpless cripple for life , entirely deprived of the use of his limbs . If this" be not the fate of many of the sufferers , disease and suffering in some other shupo is , wo understand , sure to be their bitter lot to the end of their days . —Manchester Guardian . Von IIumhoudt . —TJio venerable philosopher has been suffering from an attack of influenza , which , to a man in his 90 th year , is a trying ordeal to pass through . By tho latest accounts it appears that his recovery was proceeding , and that he had been sufficiently restored to be able to resume his pen—a circumstance which will afford tho greatest gratification to those who enjoy the high privilege of correspondence with him .
