      SOOO of bis subjects who possessed the reputation of Stag the xnost lettered of all , should on a giren day assemble at his palace arid 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 £ 9 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 , U and we want forty- Well , I will be the fortieth member myself . " Sire , " cried the judges , " your Majesty will no doubt Of xclaimed

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 Dkikkikg Fountains . —We perceive that the vestry of St . Andrew ' s , Holborn , have come to a different decision upoa an offer of Mr . Samuel Gurney , M . P ., than the vestry of St . Pancras . Mr . Gurney is willing to erect a drinking fountain , at his own cost , on Hoi born-hill , and the Holborn vestrymen have unanimously and thankfully consented .

      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 Pasba had not been concluded . The Nile having risen to a great height this year , 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 clay . 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 sftnt to Jeddah with a special commission , will accomplish much , as the assassins of the British and French Consuls had escaped . The persons sent to Constantinople for trial are described as mere subaltern agents , acting under the orders of chiefs who have fled . 1

      Case of the Rev . Alfred Poole . —The 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 the case of William Hardacre , 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 bo survive the 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 . somo other shape is , wo understand , sure to be their bitter lot to the end of their days . — -Manchester Guardian . Von Humbolpt .- —The 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 the latest accounts it appears that hid recovery was proceeding , and that he had been sufficiently restored to be able to resume his pen—a . circumstance which will afford the greatest gratification to those who enjoy the high privilege of correspondence with him .

      jects here . The Moniteur de VAmide 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 the field-piece with which her Majesty presented him some time since . The howitzer and tho carriages are accompanied by a complete set of harness , such as is in use in France . The piece bears the name of " L'Alliance . " On it are engraved the words , " A la Reino Yictoria , l'Empereur Napoldon , 1858 . " The gun was embarked at Calais on the 7 th , in charge of Major Melchior , of the Artillery of the Guard , and is to be presented to the Queen by the Duke de Malakoff .

      A Paris letter says : —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 III . on his return from Compiegne . Meantime he has gone to Brussels to involve Belgium in the scheme , leaving Mr . Barry to carry out his
